His EMINENCE JOHNJICCLOSKET, Car­ dinal Priest of the'Roihan Church, fifth Bishop and second Archbishop of New York, died at his residence in that city on the 10th inst., after a lingering illness. The Cardinal's three nieces--Mrs. John Kelly, Miss Mullen, and Mrs. Cleary, of Washington--and Catherine, the old ser­ vant who has been with the Cardinal since he was a young man, were with him when he died. By the death of the Cardi­ nal Archbishop, Dr. Corrigan, the Coadju­ tor Archbishop, becomes Archbishop, but not Cardinal, and there remains no American Cardinal. Cardinal McCloskey was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., March 20, 1810. He received his early classical edu­ cation at New York, and subsequently en­ tered Mount St. Mary's College* Einmits- burg, Md., and after graduating pursued his theological studies in the seminary con­ nected with the college. He was ordained priest in the St Patrick's Cathedral, New York, in January, 1834. Soon after this he went to Rome, and for two years attend­ ed the lectures in the Roman College. On his return to New York he was appointed assistant pastor, and six months later pastor, of the Church of St. Joseph, New York, which office he retained for six feats, except one year (1841), during which he was President of St John's Col­ lege, near Fordham, N. Y. In 1844 he was consecrated coadjutor of the Right Rev. John Hughes, D, D., then Bishop, and subsequently Archbishop, of New York, and in September, 1847, on the creation of the new diocese of Albany, was installed as its Bishop. .On the death of Archbishop Hughes, Bishop McCloskey was transferred to the vacant see, May 6, 1864. He was made Cardinal by Pius IX. Leo XIII. conferred the red hat upon him in 1878. THE MABKETa THE flatten has issued an irade for the mobilization of the entire Turkish army NEW YORK.

Finley, of the signal corps, has devoted about eight years, are now so well under- stood as to warrant the belief that trust­ worthy warnings may soon be sent out to the inhabitants of localities which may be threatened with disastrous visitations. Daily predictions are in fact being made at present, having beguu last year and con­ tinued during the tornado season, and re­ sumed recently upon the return of Lient. Finley from an inspection tour in tbe West. The percentage of verification is already gratifyiug, though the predictions are as yet largely experimental, aud are embodied in the daily published bulletins of the signal office only when the conditions favorable to the creation of tornadoes are very pronounced. In such cases "severe local storms" are noted as probable. To a reporter Lieutenant Finley recently described the known phenomena of tor­ nadoes and the ends toward which present researches are directed. These storms have distinctly marked characteristics, aud are by no means to be confounded with hurricanes, "blizzards," cyclones, or north­ easters. Their tracks are never more than a few hundred yards wide, and their forces are generally exhausted by the time they have traveled a course of forty or fifty miles, though in this latter respect they are quite variable, some having been traced by their lines of devastation more than 180 miles. Their rotary motion, which is great­ est toward the center, sometimes reaches the enormous rate of two thousand miles an hoar, while their forward movement,always from southwest to northheast, ordinarily does not exceed forty or fifty nnle6. They are usually unaccompanied by electrical disturbances, and are believed to be unin­ fluenced by electrical conditions, though violent thunderstorms sometimes follow them a few miles away. There is a distinct and curious relationship between the torna­ do and the general storm center, which is always apparent in their uniform relative positions; the tornado always occurring southeastwardly from the center of the low barometic pressure, aud at a distance from one to six hundred miles. The shape of the general storm eentty, the direction in which its longest diameter lies, and the appearance of the upper and lo%er clouds enter ns minor elements in the problem out of which the weather expert^ hope to work a complete system of tornado warnings. The visits of the tornado are com­ monly between the hoars of 2 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Its home is an area which includes the whole of Iowa, all of Missouri, except the southeastern corner, the northwestern corner of Arkansas, the northeastern part of Indian Territory, Eastern Kansas, Eastern Nebraska, South­ ern Minnesota, Southern Wisconsin, and Western Illinois. Here its season extends from April to Augnst, inclusive. It isafre- quent visitor to two or three regions. One is a strip along the gulf and South Atlantic, which takes in the central portions of Ala­ bama, Georgia, and South Carolina, with termini in Mississippi and North Carolina, over which its devastations are confined to the months of January, February, and March. The other includes a portion of southern and central Ohio, a large part of Pennsylvania a small area in Maryland, a strip across l$ftw York, and a corner each of Massachusetts and Connecticut, where it is seasonable oat? during the months of Au­ gust and September. Lieut. Finley further said, while a host of interesting scientific questions respect­ ing the origin of tornadoes, the laws which govern them, and their relationship to other meteorological phenomena remain to be an­ swered, the more practical questions as to when and where they are likely to appear seem to be advancing rapidly toward solu­ tion. The interests which are subject to disaster from tornadoes are alive to the im­ portance of the work in progress. Intend­ ing purchasers of farms apply to the Signal Office for information respecting the liabil­ ity of their selected locality to disaster. To such are sent the records of the past as far as they are known. Whenever Lieut. Finley travels in pursuit of his studies farmers and villagers press for information. To these he says that nothing raised by tne hand of man above the surface of the earth can withstand the shock of the tor­ nado. He advises them to seek their dug­ outs upon the appearance of tbe porten- tious sigrs of disaster, and there await the passage of the storm. For their property he advises insurance, so that the losses of the individual may be shaved by his more fortunate neighbors. The insurance com­ panies which last year "wrote" $40,0fl0,0J0 in tornado policies are eagerly awaiting the completion of a map now in the process of making which will, it is expected, greatly narrow the so-called tornado regions, and perhaps show that large portions of them nave never experienced a destructive storm. Upon this map Lieutenant Finley proposes to show from the complete rec­ ords of several years and dates the average number of tornadoeo for each locality per annum. THE CATTLEMEN. Conference of Those Interested in lterds in tlie Cherokee Strip. TKansas City special.] A meeting was held at the Brunswick this afternoon of cattlemen interested in the herds in the Cherokee strip and No Man's Laud. Fully a dozen of the largest cattlo- owners were in attendance. These are the cattlemen against whom suits aggre­ gating nearly $300,000 have been brought by the Texas cattlemen who were stopped while driving their herds north through Indian Territory about three months ago. The attorneys of the Indian Territory men were present, aud at the expiration of the conference the expressions of all those in­ terested was to the effect that they hud lit­ tle to few.- from aay su ts aud would make a vigorous defense. The statement was also made that while about four hundred and fifty thousand head of cattle still remained on the Cherokee strip and No Alan's Land, most all the cattle have been removed from the Arapahoe and Cheyenne reservation, in accordance with the President's order. AFRAID OF RIOTS. Citizens in Oregon Organize with • View to Quelling Feasible Quarrels wfih Chinamen. ' < [Seattle (Ore.) d la patch.] Two large meetings were held here last night, both assembled to discuss the Chinese question. One was under the auspices of the Knights of Labor. Several speakers were londly applauded when making any reference to forcing the Chi­ nese. While this meeting was being held in pue hall, about 100 citiznes gathered in the Opera House, and there men signed a pledge to aid in enforcing the law and as­ sist the officers in quelling whatever riots may arise. Sheriff J. H. Graw then ap­ pointed them Deputy Sheriffs, and a Jus­ tice ot the Peace administered the oath of office. The town was then districted into twenty parts, and a Captain for each dis­ trict was appointed. The deputies will form twenty companies, and when properly armed will be able to furnish ample secu­ rity against riots. IT will take three months and $2,000 to mount Jumbo. ' A HORRIBLE TALE. Stories of Treatment of Small- Pint Patients in the Mon- ?treai Hospital, v, . ̂. . .... (Montreal apodal.] Miu Flora Campbell and Miss Bush, who have been patients in the small-pox hospital, m ike some very damaging charges against the system of treating small-pox patients in the hospital. They state that they had been put in beds which had been occupied by other^ patients, and that tha sheets hid not been changed; that some of the poor creatures in the ward in which they were had the disease very bad. and that the smell was dreadful; that attend­ ants bade them good-night when they were most needed; that the first night Miss Hush was in the hospital 8he was given a bed without bed-clothes, and she was forced to lie there a 1 night as she came into the buildiug; that a little girl brought some food to them, carrying the bread in her bare hands, on which marks of small­ pox were still fresh; that patients changed their own clothes as long as they were alile, and, when they we^e not, those patients who could go about did it for them; that they were often ill during the night and wanted attendance wheu there were no nurses about; that during the night some patients would keep knocking against the wall or floor, but no one went near them to see what was wanted, and no assistance was given to those who were unable to' get up; that patients had sometimes to wait for hours for a drink, and that those whose eyes were closed with the dis­ ease sometimes begged for a long timd for a lotion that was used to wash them before they would get it; that the dirt, and filth, and vile smells were terrible; that as soon as the breath was out of a patient's body men came and sewed it up in a sheet, and instead of lifting it on a stretcher, let it fall to the floor with a thud that startled every one in the ward. These charges are being investigated. The offi­ cials of the hospital deuy the truth of them, and Dr. Noliu has been requested to pre­ pare an official statement for the medical health officer. The medical health officer reports that there were forty-nine well-authenticated new cases of small-pox yesterday. The civic Board of Health now believe them­ selves to be on the track of nearly every case of small-pox. There is a great rush for vacciunation in the East End, owing to the manufacturers requiring their employes to oavaccinnated. * A Contagion* Craft. [Detroit tclezraiu.] The officers of the propeller Cuba called at the Custom House this forenoon for the necessary papers to allow the boat to re­ ceive coal here. When they said the pro­ peller was Irom Montreal, Health Officer Wight was at once notified. He found the boat at the foot of Third street, while heavers were loading coal. The boat was loaded with iron for a Canadian port on Lake St. Clair. The crew of a dozen persons was at once arrested and the boat quaran­ tined. The captain nnd purser under oath said that a sailor sick with small-pox had been put ashore in Chicago Sept. 18, and another at St. Catharine's a short time be­ fore, on the way to Chicago.

A purse was made up and he" was put on board a train for New York this morning. After the train pulled out he an­ nounced the nature of his ailment and in­ side of a minute had the car all to himself. The car was detached from the train and side-tracked, but under orders was hitched to a later train, and with its solitary pas­ senger hauled to this city, where the health officers declared that he was not suffering from the disease. He was, however, iso­ lated. The arrival of his car at the Grand Central Depot caused a sensation. Precaution* at Bnflblo. [Buffalo special.

TURKEY WANTS THE TRIBUTE. The ITnlon of Bulgaria and Roumella Ac­ complished for a Money Considera­ tion. [London dispatch.] The report that Turkey has recognized the union of Bulgiria and lloumelia under the government of Prince Alexander is at­ tributed to the fact that the latter has of­ fered sufficient financial inducements to the Porte to remove all scruples which the Sul­ tan might have entertained against sub­ mitting to this seizure of one of his provinces. It is well known that the Turk­ ish Government cares a great deal more for its tribute just now than for its official dignity, and is willing to sacrifice the name of ppwer and the suzerainty of any of the provinces if assured of large pecuniary returns. Princ3 Alex­ ander has powerful financial backers, and is quite able to redeem his promise of ex­ tensive and regular tribute. This the Porte regards as a state of affairs more suitable to Turkey's necessities, and has, therefore, declined to accept the status quo. Russia is desirous of giving the Duke of Cnberlund the throne of Bulgaria. Prince Bismarck will probably favor such a proposition, which will settle the Bruns­ wick difficulty. The Government of Greece is annoyed at the decision of the powers to recognize the union of Bulgaria and Boumelia, and has decided to mobilize the army. Three more clsses of the reserves will be called out shortly. MR. C. P. HUNTINGTON will ereeta chapel in Harwinton, Conn., in memory of his mother, who lived in that town. The ohapel will be of granite, and will coat from $15,000 to $211,000. THE "Big Woods" of Minnesota well de­ serve the name, for they cover 5,000 square miles, or 3,200,000 acres of surface.

[Baltimore special ] The American of this city publishes a special letter from Rome having reference to the confirmation and effect of the de­ crees passed by the Plenary Council of Bal­ timore. The writer says that their influ­ ence will be felt throughout America, and to a beneficial purpose. A canon, which took its origin in mediviel times, and was founded on and constituted for a civiliza­ tion that has almost passed away, is cut in­ to by the decrees. They will constitute a law suitable for the time. The education of the clergy will be elevated to the wants of the time. The Christian civilization of the people will be made to keep pace with the material civilization of the time. Christi­ anity will be brought into harmony with the education and civilization of the present age. Regulations have been mado for the establishment of schools for children, normal schools for teachers, and a university for priests and for those lay­ men who devote themselves to the pursuits of higher knowledge. It is not by "benefices," that great feature of the mid­ dle ages by which, wh le education was as­ sisted, it was also hampered, that these re­ sults are to be obtained. "Benefices'1 will not be brought in as a means of support. The Catholic Church in the United States wants DO subsidy from .the state, and thus it will not become a servant, or rather a slave, of the state, as it has so often been in European countries, such as France and Austria. The church in America prefers to depend for her support upon the free offer­ ings of the people. In the new dioceses U is provided that no such thing as parishes and parish priests, in the old canonical sense of the term, will exist in the United States. These were founded on "benefices," but there they will not be employed. This, however, does not indicate that pastors who have created and fostered a congregation, and m\de the des­ ert to blossom as a rose, will be harshly treated or removed from the places they have built up. There will not be an abso­ lute removability of pastors. A certain percentage of them will be declared im­ movable, and this holds good except in Cases where faults are ascribed to the pas­ tor, and these faults and their consequences will be determined by a trial. A certain amount of liberty of action is required in the United States both by Bishops and clergy, aud it is not advisable to remove or curtail their liberty. The diguity and authority will be increased and brought more prominently into relief. Thev will have their courts over those of bishops, in which appeals will be received before such appeals can be sent to Rome. In future bishops will have a permanent board or council, which they will assemble at certain intervals during the year. They will also give some voice to the clergy in the selection of bishops. Another important decision of the Balti­ more Council refers to societies or associa­ tions. A stop is about to be put to indis­ criminate, injudicious, or conflicting con­ demnation of secret societies. Hence­ forward the condemnation of any secret society will be reserved to a permanent board of all the archbishops of the country, and all cases of Ruch a nature must be re­ ferred to them for their judgment and de­ cision. The greatest safeguard will be thrown around the contraction of church debts in future. The sanctity of Christian marriages will be specially guarded by suitable and ef­ fective regulation. Much was said on the holding of ecclesi­ astical property, but as different laws exist in different dioceses, it waB left to each Bishop to adopt the means best suited to each particular case. These decrees will form the basis of the councils about to be held in Australia and Ireland. MANGLED HUMANITY. Shocking Accident on the Northern Pa* effle Railroad, Sear Fergus Falls, Minn* Five Ken Instantly Killed and Thirty or Forty More or Less Injured. [Fe&us Falls (Minn.) dispatch] A serious smashup of John Robinson's circus train occurred on the Northern Pa­ cific, Fergus and Black Hills Road, a branch oc the Northern Pacific, at Ames Station, six miles west of this city. Four cars were broken to pieces, five men killed, and a large number injured. The train was in two sections. After passsing Ames the coupling of the four rear cars of the for­ ward section broke, and there being a heavy grade they ran back toward the rear sec­ tion. The rear engine ran into the wild cars at nearly full speed, with a terrific crash, injuring the forward part of the engine badly and totally demolishing the cars. These were common freight-cars, fitted up with bunks, etc., as sleeping-cars for the canvasmen and roustabouts of the circus. They contained nearly 200 men, and the mystery is that so many escaped with their lives. A terrible scene* followed the collision. Their were shrieks, groans, and cries from the many injured, and howls and curse* from those who were trying to extricate themselves from the wreck" Peo­ ple in the rear section, none of them hurt, lent ail the aid possible, and the for­ ward engine was dispatched at once to Fergus Falls for surgical assistance, returning in half an < hour with the Northern Pacific physicians here. Tbe following are the names of the dead: (icorite Krouse, Cincirnati. His brother lives at No. <•>•_» Main Ktr et, Cincinnati. H. Roberts, Wadena, Minn., canvas»man.

Warren Cleveland, both hands jammed; will have to be amputated. Nearly every man in the four cars is somewhat bruised and hurt, but, except the above, none striously. A brakeman named Peterson could not be fouud after the wreck was cleared, and it is not known whether he was kilted or ran away. The injured will be sent to the Northern Pacific Hospital at Brainerd, and an inquest will be held to-morrow on the remains of the deceased, which will be held at the dispo­ sition of relatives, if any telegraph; other­ wise they will probably be buried here. A colored band in oue of the cars escaped with little injury except to their instru­ ments. nearly all of which were smashed beyond repair. • Ik Very Peculiar Accident. (Centralia (111.) special..] A very peculiar accident happened at Sandoval, six miles north of this point, Saturday last A little girl named Birkley was playing around a plow, the tongue of which had been propped up with a stick. Under the tongue an iron kettle having four pointed legs was turned upside down, in some way the child knocked the prop out, wheu the tongue came down, catching the child's head on one of the legs, which penetrated the brain, causing her death. ill? it THE wsswm warn 1 1MB R«bM Near Alloona, Pa., la the (tannine Jesse James •••r vs Way. m 1 15? 1 >8 flitttebnrt dtopatcifcl ' , AltdOOft specials report a daring to' on a passenger train on the branch ql the Pennsylvania Road which connects Altoona with Hollidaysburg, the county seat The line is only eight miles long,' and the run is made in about thirty m:n» utes, and the robbers were therefore corn* pel ed to do their work quickly. The train* t which was composed of the engine, comb*, nation baggage and passenger car, and thcr regular passenger coach, bad proceeded but a short distance from Hollidaysburg when it was boarded by four hard-looking individuals, who wore handkerchiefs to conceal the lower half of their faces. The leader was distinguished by the fact thai his nose was almost entirely eaten away by oancer. * While his three companions, one at eacll end of the regular passenger-ccach and another in the center, with drawn revol­ vers, commanded the frightened male and female passengers to keep their seats, the man without a nose took ap the collection of money and valuables. The total value of money and jewelry taken is uot yet ascer* tained, but will certaijly amount to a big sum. • The conductor, who was in the baggage apartment of the front coach counting his tickets, was nnaware of the proceedings in the rear coach until informed by a passen* ger in the smoking compartment. Has* ; tening through • to the rear car jjfc" fierce struggle ensued between hitt and one of the robbers. The former was the weaker, however, and he was laid* on the broad of his back, while a cocked, revolver in close proximity to his head pre* vented any further demonstration on his part In the meanwhile the wholesale rob« bery was still in progress. During the struggle the conductor made an attempt to pull the bell-cord and notify the engineer, but the robbers had antici­ pated him and cut the rope. When the. robbery in the second coach had been com­ pleted there was a hurried consultation of the four masked men over the prostrate form of the conductor, revolvers pointed in each coach preventing any demonstra­ tion on the part of the passengers who might have regained their lost courage. The train began to slacken its speed as it approached the next station, when suddenly the robbers leaped off and ran nt full speed through the dense forest which surrounds the track on either side. Springing to hicc feet the conductor rushed through the train, dashed over the tender into the cab, and ordered the astonished engineer to "pull the throttle wide open." The order was at once complied with, and in a few minutes the train steamed at frightful speed into Altoona. Its unexpected arrival and the blanched faces of the train­ men and pa6Bengers were the means of col­ lecting a large crowd. One passenger, who had evidently not given up liis valuables without a struggle, exhibited a bloody hand, through which a knife had been thrust. Parties to hunt the fugitives were at once organized. The milroud officials were notified, and special engines bearing sev­ eral men each were sent back on the Holli­ daysburg Branch, also both east'and west on the main line of the Pennsylvania Road. The»excitement in this region is intense. SHOCKING TRAGEDY. A Farmer Kear Geneva, HI., Kills His Wife and Her Aged Mother; • (in.) teleamiiEr'*** At the town of Gampton, a few miles from here, Albert Cook shot his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Butts, the latter dying tad instantly. She was 74 years old, and ha resided with her children for over thirty years, since ber husband's death. Cook has worked for William Smith, who rente the Frank Burr farm. His domestic troubles were frequent and serious. He has threatened to kill his wife at regular intervals, for which offense he was arrested and lodged in jail. His father bailed him out and took him to Chicago, and he had not been seen by his family until this morning. Cook walked into the house at five this morning. He had evidently been sleeping outdoors all night. The first words he said startled the women out of their slumber. He said: "Get out of there, now! I'm most frozen. This is a pretty thing you've been doing.* • His mother-in-law answered: "And this is a pretty thing yon have been doing." At this he fired upon her, killing her in­ stantly. The ball entered her forehead and lodged in her brain. His wife sprang out of bed and advanced toward him in the endeavor to wrest the revolver from him. He backed slowly away from her, all the while tiring, until Bhe reached the door leading into the sitting-room, which she closed on him. Two shots entered her abdomen, one broke her right arm, and two lodged in the fatty part of her left arm. Mrs. Cook is a young woman and has lived with her husband for ten years, bear­ ing gently his brutality until it became necessary for her to cause bis arrest, -he having shot at her once before and threat­ ened many times to kill her. Cook pro­ cured a divorce yesterday. Two children were born to the unfortunate couple. Both arts boys, aged 7 and 10. When they heard the shooting they ran down stairs from the bedroom and out to the barn, where B. R. McNight, a farm-hand, was at work. McNii/ht ran to the hoftse and found a horrible sight "Where did he go?" asked HoNight of Mrs. Cook. She told him Tp-stairs." McNight closed the stair door, thinking he would keep Cook locked in until assist­ ance came, but Cook was not up-stairs. As yet he has not been captured. Cook is thought to be deranged, but his father says: "He was always deranged, then* He's just uglj'." The father is a respecta­ ble old gentleman, of German birth, an<fc quite recently spelled his name KoCh. He intended to take his son to SCaasasi where a brother lives. OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.

[New Orleans special.] The following is from the National Ex­ change crop report: Although the month of September has not .been altogether fa­ vorable to the crop, and there has been !oss from shedding, rust aud rot, and, in some sections, from caterpillars, the good foun­ dation on which the crop rested at the close- of August has stood in the way of ad­ verse circumstances, and the yield promises to be much larger than last sea­ son. The month, however, closes upon much uncertainty, aud in many sections- correspondents refer to the yield as de­ pendent upon favorable picking weather nnd such as would develop aud save what­ ever of the crop has been promised. The July fruiting was excellent neatly ail over the belt.
