A REPORT comes from Steley's Bay, a small town oil the Bideau Iliver, Bome twenty miles from Kingston, Ont., that over two hundred persons were poisoned by eating ice cream at a Church of En- picnic at Kenny's grove. It ap­ pears that the cream had been kept in zinc freezers for several days, and it is belimred that the poisoned material came fretn this.

Eagleson, a prominent negro politician of Kansas, is the pi ime mover in a scheme to indace the negroes of the South to emigrate to Oklahoma. He has organised un immigration company, com­ posed of some of the prominent colored- men of Kansas, which will haven gents in all the principal cities of the South. He says he is receiving letters every day from people in the South, inquiring about Oklahoma and how to get there. He ex­ pects to have 100,000 colored people in Oklahoma by next July. At Chicago. Herbert G. Pearsons, • cousin of Mrs. George M. Pullman, was drowned m the lake off the foot of Thirty-first street while bathing. Mr. Pearsons was a retited millionaire from Idsho. AT Kronsberg, D. T., a terrific wind­ storm demolished nearly every-building and killed two children. The weather had been very warm until noon, when the wind rose with wonderful fury, striking the town at about 3 o'clock and sweeping a path across the county. It was so sud­ den that no effort to escape could be made, and many injuries to persons are report­ ed. Van Dusen's elevator was the first building to fall, and directly afterward the large barn of Dr. McKenney was struck and instantly demolished. The residences of Harrison Franklin Knd John Neuby next succumbed to the violence of the storm, and at length the residence of Benjamin Franklin nnd the blacksmith shop of Joseph Mnxelbaum were leveled to the ground as the whirlwind passed away to th# east. Maxelbaum was badly injured by the falling of his shop, as he had rushed in to save some property. Many other persons in the same town were*hurt. The two children of a farmer just east of the town were killed. Judge Horton of Chicago has decid­ ed that in the case of a person caught in the act of violating an ordinance, and ar­ rested, a warrant must be issued before the offender is put on trial. Otherwise the conviction is illegal and the prisoner can be ieleased by a habeas corpus pro­ ceeding. The decision actually touches the cases of over two-thirds of the cases that arise in the Police Courts. It af­ fects the status of perhaps nine-tenths of the prisoners at the Bridewell. Under it those who were arrested "on view" nnd tried without a sworn complaint can be released upon habeas-corpus proceedings. The Attorney General has appointed John Y. Stone, Attorney General for the State of Iowa, a special Assistant Attor­ ney of the Department of Justice, to bring suit on behalf of the United States to quiet the title to tbe Des Moines River lands and to settle all pending disputes arising therefrom. It has been finally decided by the De­ partment Commanders of the G. A. R. to cancel th» annual encampment which was to have been held this year daring the last week in August in Milwaukee, Wis. This resolution is but the carrying out in effect of the threat expressed some weeks ago by the Grand Army men against the different railroad companies, that unlesB a One cent per mile rate was granted the veterans would not hold their annual encamp­ ment. The answer of the roacts was not satisfactory and the nine Depart­ ment Commanders having charge of the matter will at once issue orders discoun­ tenancing the attendance of old soldiers to the Milwaukee encampment. The Die- part men^ Commanders who have thus de­ cide to carry out to the letter the threat made some time ago are Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and Wiscon­ sin. The Milwaukee meeting will be held, therefore, purely as a business gathering of the 900 delegates instead of a grand soldiers' reunion. At Chicago, Judge Tuley decided the application of John F. Beggs for a writ of habeas corpus, denying the motion for the writ. At Clay Center, Kansas, Mrs. H. H. Olney, after rescuing her two children from her burning house, returned to save some household goods. She was over­ come by the heat and was burned to death. Ex-Congressman Edmund Rjce died of brain trouble at his home in White Boar, Minn. . SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A BaXiTIKOrb dispatch says Jacob Turner and Edward Bantum, both col­ ored, were drowned near Deal's Shore Spring. Fred A. A. Schuman, aged si;, was drowned near Pearson's Wharf, Spring Garden. Nehemiah Hall, colored, aged twelve, was drowned at Gwyn's Falls. Willie Devoli, aged eleven, was drowned at Canton, and Richard Smith, colored, was drowned at the same place. On the 10th inst. Mrs/ ex-President John Tyler died at the Exchange Hotel in Richmond, V#., from a congestive ill. She had returned from a visit to son, Lyon G.

THE annual report of the Civil-gervice Commission for the period ending June 30, 1888, has been made public. During that period 206 examinations were held throughout, and in every State and Terri­ tory except Colorado and Kansas. The j number of applicants examined was 2,699, of which an average of 68 per cent, passed in the common J branches and K9 per cent, in the spe- ] cial. The raising of the eligible average from 65 to 70 decreased the number of I successful competitors 15 per cent. Of j those examined over two-thirds were men. In the customs service nearly I 2,500 were examined and 1,500 pissed. In j the letter-carrier branch 6,103 were ex­ amined, of which over one-half passed.

While the Emperor and h» party were viewing the Buar glacier a great mass of ice became displaced and a fragment struck the Emperor on the shoulder, dashiug him violently to the ground. Full particulars of the accident have not been received, but it is known that the Emperor's injuries are not serious. The law relating to three years' mili­ tary service has been finally adopted by French Chamber of Deputies in the form in which it was voted by the Senate.

KnUi* an had Kilrain completely whipped in tbe third round, although they foupht through seventy-two rounds more. Kilrain triad at the first round a kind of tactics which he should have known better than to try on t-o htavy a man. He began to rush Sullivan and to wres>Je with him in the hope of winding the big fellow. The result was the other way. Kilrain threw the Boston boy in the first two rounds and had him punished not a little. In the third round Kilrain sprang again for tha big fellow and endeavored to clinch him. Sul­ livan threw h|g brawny left arm around Kil- raln's neck and with his ponderous right ha hammered Kilrain's left side The spectators thoueht the awful blows of that brawny fist would rupture the massive masB of muscles which bound Kilrain's abdomen. Then fling­ ing the Baltimorean away, with his left Sulli- v^n struck him just below the left ear. Kil­ rain then fell in a vain effort to repeat his per­ formance ot throwing Sullivan and falling on him. Those blows settled Kilrain. When he was Sicked up and carried to his corner he said to Utchell, his second: "Charlie, I am kn<cked out." The bluff English pugilist would not listen to the suggestion and for two mortal hours he forced the gam© young man from Baltimore into the middle of the ring to be hammered into a mass of aching fieeh. After that round Kilrain had no heart. He stalked lazily into the ring at the call of time, only to be kuocked down by Sullivan or to run away from the huge fist which hail wrong", t him already so much injury. At the fourth round, after dodging Sullivan's blows with every indi­ cation that it was fear, not. pugilistic science, that prompted the mnmeuvers, Kilrain made an attempt to fight as though he meant it. He landed his right on Sullivan's ear. and the big fellow, inured to pain as he was, fairly winced. But he was paid iu most painful kind. Sulli­ van smashed right and left on face and neck and abdomen. Again and again Sullivan r»l«nf*>,! bia flat, on ttie pln.ee. now so red and inflamed and sore, on Kilrain's left side, just below the short ribs. E\ery time Kilraiu saw Sullivan's eye glance toward that spot he winced involuntarily. Sullivan saw the motion and followed up hiB advantage for all It was worth. Sullivan's two main points of attack on the body of his opponent were the injured fibs and back of the left ear. Blow after blow was rained on both these bruised spots and still Kilrain in­ sisted, or rather bis seconds insisted, that he should continue to suffer in the hope Unit by some fluke Sullivan might commit a foul and the $10,000 stakes would be saved to his backers. Kilrain soon learned that a good wrestler does not remain so after a few rounds with a man like Sullivan. In the first three rounds Kilrain had only to seize Sullivan to throw him, but afterward an attempt to clinch only re­ sulted in disastrous,punishment for Jake. Af­ ter the twentieth rcriftid Kilrain contented aim- self with making occasional spurts oi imitative pugilism and keeping out of danger's way in the person of Sullivan. Sometimes it was" pitia­ ble to see him. Donovan and Mitchell would walk with him to the middle of the ring al­ most, where he would stand with his hands hanging helplessly by his sides waiting for Sullivan to approach him. Then he would walk or run if necessary around the ring awav from the giant whom he feared, but he would be overtaken and unless he would go down al­ most at a glance of Sullivan's eye he would be crashed to the sparse grasB of the pine-woods turf with irresistible force. Kilrain's only honor in the battle was in tbe sixth round, when Sullivan's ear, which Jake had split by a left-hand upper cut in the fifth round, gave forth the crimson blood and first blood was awarded to Kilrain. The sight of blood seemed to drive the crowd crazy. They yelled and screamed, and jabbered, now at the fighters, now at the referee, now at one another. Like the Roman populace of old they had be­ come drunk with the sight of human blood. But the honor was short-lived. Scarcely bad the claim for firsc blood been allowed when Sul­ livan caught Kilrain on the right ear with hia right fist and Jake fell in a heap on his hands and knees. It waa the first knock-down of the fight and was awarded to Sullivan. They came oftener after that and they were all to Sulli­ van's credit. Not once did Kilrain hit his man hard enough to make him stagger. That- was Kilrain's defect. He could hit Sulli­ van often enough--oftener than Sullivan <ould' reach him- but his blows had no lore-3 b 'hind them. They could abraid the skin or blacken an eye, but they could not shatter the whole system, as did Sullivan's delivery. And Sulli­ van did not do half what he might have done to Kilrain. Time and time again during the fight Kilrain half clinched with Sullivan and the two men would be leaning against one another. Sullivan would place both hands against Kilrain's breast and push him away. | On every occasion of this kind, and they were • many, Kilrain's yiiard was entirely down, and Sullivan could have struck him a knockout blow j with ease, but he seemed to disdain to win the victory in this v ay. lie wanted to knock Kil- 1 rain out while the latter was in hiB best position . of defense. j The seventy-fifth round ended the fight. Zt > was no different from the fifty preceding oues. Kilraiu after many protests was forced to the scratch by Mitchell and Donovan. He stood ( irresolute for a moment. Sullivan came at him like a mad bull, and Kilrain put up his hands > in a listless sort of way. There was no sugges- . tion of either attack or vigorous defense in the motion or in the attitude. j Kilrain then dropped his hands and ran around the ring, Sullivan following him with a smile of mingled malice and contempt on his face. He overtook Kilrain near Sullivan's own corner, struck him first on the neck and then ili­ the face. Kilrain fell, groaned, llirew his arm over his face as if to ward oil' further blows. Then Mike Donovan, one of Kilrain's seconds, ' nan over to where his prostrate principal lay I and tossed in the air tbe sponge with which he bad been bathing Kilrain's body between the rounds, and this was the acknowledgment of . defeat. j One thing Is evident. Sullivan is no match for Kilrain either as a wrestler or boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's immeasurable driving power and expanse of chest and shoulder and no man could stand against him. Kiliaiu's pluck and gameness was a theme of admiration for those \\ lioimidt rstand ring strat­ egy and true endurance. Sullivan got in a fierce blow on his side under the heart, from which he never recovered. An ordinary man would have thrown up the sponge iu the next round. Kil­ rain s seconds themselves acknowledged that the fight, vas over then, but with the indifference of a ftoic and the pluek of a hero, Kilrain con? tinued the unequal ttruggle and administered many a sting mg How to his adversary, and yet in spite of this, an indiscriminatlng crowd, mistaking caution and strategy for cowardice, < yelled at Kilra:n, calling hi in "cur" and "coward" when he soujdit to avoid Sullivan's blow by dodging, or when he tried to outwind him retreating before him around the ring. It is undeniably true that after the ninth/ round, when suffering excruciating pain from this bruise under tli* heart and repealed knock­ downs, Kilrain did lay himself open to the charge of "foul" by falling down when not ap­ parently knocked down. These fouls were re­ peatedly claimed, but never allowed by the referee. Kilrain's friends buoyed him up throughout the tight by picturing to him tbe effect ot de­ feat upon nls wife and children. ' i Just before the fight the Sheriff of Mario® County came and commanded the peace. Bud Benaud, the manager, replied smilingly:' "That's all right, Mr. Sheriff; you have done your duty." And then, the fight went on. An inventory of the personal results of the mill will show that Mr. Sullivan has a spUt ear, two black eyes, swelled hands, and numerous bruises on nls body caused by Mr. Kilrain's list#. Mr. Kilrain has a black eye, a broken- nose, (t, split mouth, a split ear, and any num»- ber of bruises, and very probably internal in­ juries which may prove serious. Sullivan's repeated blows on Kilrain's site- seemed to le%ve a permanent Indentation In the man's body, and soon after th-; fight he brain to spit Uood., jn* ear he was inconsolable over his defeat and would not be oomforted. Big tears coursed down his cheeks and he eried like a boy. • Bar tka D«s«raet.loin of! Brldgw Loaded wit* tpmelmlw* a DO>en Perisb in the' ' Ba§la# WMtart---The Damage of proper- tyla AelToWa. A Johnstown, N. Y., special of the 10th inst. says: . ' ? Heavy rains last sight choked the streams-end flooded the districts. Shr.'ver's large mill at this place was carried away. Twenty persons were on the Ferry street bridge when the arch fell into the rushin? torrent. Cries for help alarmed the resi­ dents, and Chief McDonald, President Northnp, Police Justice Anderson, and others organized Jk searching expedition. Lanterns were procured and parties went along the stream with ropes to assist in the rescue. One person was seen splashing and plunging in the water near the Johns­ town, Fonda & Gloversville railroad bridge, a quarter of a mile down the stream. As he floated past those on tbe shore he cried: "For God's sake, help me." He was swept so close to the shore that a man who was in a boat seized him, but owing to tbe swift current was unable to maintain his bold and the unfortuuate was swept under the floating driftwood. Two other persons came down a moment later, clinaring to a plank and shouting for help. They were swept ont of sight below the railroad bridge. At 4 a. m. the body of Burt Speedwell, 15 years of age, was recovered from the debris in this pl&ce An hour later Albert Cokely was pulled cut from under tha driftwood that had lodged back of Evans' mills. Soon after, the body cf . a man named Tread well was found in the same place At 9 a. m. the body of Charles Frear, 55 years of age, was recovered from the wreck at Evans' mill. Chief Corhatt was carried to the dam, down which Tie went for a distance of six­ teen feet He succeeded in swimming ashore and escaped without injury. Peter Evans, a stone-mason, says tbat he went down with fifteen others and was carried under the Ferry street bridge, but suc­ ceeded in getting out below. He was bruised about the face. Purdy Case res­ cued two men named Nellis and Vosburg by mean s of ropes. Citizens are now engaged in removing the wreckage of Schriver's mill, under wbich they think other bodies have been lodged. It is believed that the two men who went down on a plank lost their lives at the dam, and that their todies were carried down the stream and are now in the Mohawk river, . . No one knows bow many were drowned or who are missing. The flood was so great and the current so swift that little help could be rendered. The State street iron bridge and tbe railroad bridge were swept away. They were large structures. During the heaviest part of the storm. Main and Flecker streets in Gloversville were flooded with water. Tbe new pave ment in Blecker street was torn up for several blo?ks. A number of residences in the upper part of the town are entirely surrounded by water. The foundation walls of a new stone building now in course of construction on North Maine street, Gloversville, were partly carried away. The two iron bridges on 'the Cen­ tral and the Fonda, Johnstown 8c Glovere- ville railroads are gone. The railroad and State street bridges in Johnstown were large, first-class structures. The Perry street bridge consisted of an arch spanning the entire width of the stream. It was upon one of the plank walks that the people were standing when the arch was carried away. Shriver's large mill is entirely wrecked, the loss being about $10,000. Several small buildings are partially ruined, their foundations being undermined. Many of the bridges on oountry roads along the valley are gone, and some fields of grain are partially covered with water. The loss to property at Groversvilie will probably be covered by $3,0jUG. It is4qum likely tbat J wfll coTer all the damage wrought by the storm. FATAL WRECK IN MEXICO. A Train Plunges Down an Embankment-- Two Killed and Nineteen Injured. Two passengers were instantly killed and ubout twenty seriously injured in a wreck on the Mexican Central Road, 'live miles from Chihuahua. Heavy rains in the mountains had turned a dry srroya, spanned by an iron bridge, into a raging river, and the waters had undermined thq track by wash­ ing away the sand abutment. When the train reached this abutment, running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, the track gave way, and the train went over the embankment, falling a distance of twenty feet. Two Mexican passengers were killed outright, and nineteen other passengers, among them eight Ameri­ cans, are in the hospital seriously in­ jured.

I am about to bring an end to all my trials and trouble. God knows that life until recently has b»en as sweet to iha ft« to AtIV 0H£t but th? Ktrftin of Into have been too much for me. I can not go into the presence of our Holy Father with my hands so stained. I must ease my mind Why are you not with me so that I can talk with you? You have been a true friend. I never had more to say to you than now. What a fearful tale I could tell, but dare not put it on paper. For all 1 know punishment will never be meted out to me on earth for the part I took in it You can not imagine how I have been tried sinos I left you. May God forgive it all. When I left you I went right to Chicago, and you can guess from reading the papers as tt» C being missing* how all came out in ridding us of that devilish traitor and spy on our actions.

I cannot stand it any more and I am going to end it all. I wanted you to remember that I have been loyal to Ireland's cause, but now I am sick and broke up ever since that night.

Johnstown,Fa., July 8--The board oi inquiry, which has just completed a reg­ istration of all property losses in the Conemaugh valley, made its report to Chairman Cummins, representing Gov. Beaver's rejief comirission. The board divided the sufferers into six classes, the first c'ass being the most needy--generally a woman who had lost her husband or son .and was left with a large family to sup- po t with scarcely any property saved. In this clas? they have p aced £05 cases, to which they recommend the payment of $l,0()ft £ac'i. Classes from 2 to 5 are not so destitute, but still in great distress. To these they recommend payments of from $ ?00 to 1600. The recommendations of the committee provide for the in(mediate disbhr.-ement of $1,186,000 to (5H0 diTer- ent families, or an average of $322 to each family. These 3,080 cases will include all t'tose who are in immediate want Class 0 includes the heaviest losers, but they are nut in imadiate want and no recommen­ dation was made in their cates, but they will be considered further along. After considering all the evidence laid before them the jury returned this verdict: "We, the jcry of Inquest impaneled to investigate fie cause of the death of Helen Hite, May 31, do find that Helen Hite came to her death from drowning, and that the drowning was caused by tha breaking of the South Fork dam. We fu 'ther find that the- e was not a sufficient waste weir, nor was the dam constructed sufficiently strong nor of the proper matet ial to withstand the overflow, and here we find that the owners of the said dam were culpable in not making it aa secure as should have been done. We hold the owners are responsible for the fearful lo-s of life and property resulting from the breaking of the dam." TANNER'S POLICY. The Commissioner of Pensions Talks About Criticisms and Reforms. Pension Commissioner James Tanner, while in Chicago the other day was in­ terviewed by representatives oi the press regarding his policy for pensions. Speaking of the anxiety of the old soldiers over the matter of pensions, the commissioner said: "Th« great cry was that there was too much delay in granting pensions to the deserving. Two women walked eighty miles to see me about a person, and an old, paralyzed man drove his team 150 miles. They were greatly pleased with the change of administra­ tion and hoped to get no end of favors." "It has been said that you had no right to have a certain policy; that your place was merely in superintending and execut­ ing as far as the working of the depart­ ment is concerned. How is thaty" ' 'For all that I have a policy. It Is liberal, but in every case within the law. I have notified tbe chiefs of divisions to watch very carefully for fraud and that when fraud is discovered they shall push the case until the bars surround the guilty ones. One case of fraud in a community reflects great dif credit on the whole work.1' "Have you any particular recommenda­ tions which you desire Congress to act upon at the next session?" "I hatdly think so. If Congress will arrange matters so that every person who needs a pension c»» secure it, I dare say the Grand Army of the Republic will ex­ press wonder!ul unanimity in declaring it the best course. People North and South will say a-ren, but I can not say as mnch for the much talked- of 'service ., pensions.' Congress nen with whom I nave conversed about the Lovering bill a-i advocated by the G. k. R., say that the finances of tha country will not stand it. There are now about 850,000 pensions and 1,200,000 veterans, and the drain cf $8 per month can easily be comr: uted. No, let the service pension matter rest for some years. If Congress adjusts it so that only those who need and are entitled to pensions re eive them that is all that can Jbe asked." News Notes From Mexico.

At that time the Sikhs, the proudest race of Indian warriors where lords from the Indus to the Ganges, and were able to bring into the field an army of 70,000*. til horsemen. Against these Sikhs the army oi which John Matthews was a. soldier was sent to serve. It was a horrible war. "We de­ stroyed every village," says the old cobbler; "we tore up the rice swamps, and wo. spared neither man, woman, nor child. Whenever we took any prisoners they were stood in line,' the women with their babes, the other chil­ dren and the men, and a cannoh, charged to the muzzle with ehainshot and grape, mowed them down. It was horrible, but they did as cruelly by ou* people. "I remember one night we captured a. party of mep, women and children. It was late, and we decided to wait until morning before putting tbem to death. The prisoners ware chained by one long chain and left to await their fate. They were very proud, and*woald not die by the hands of a white'man if they could helpit. "Sometime that night they found at dry well in the camp, about fifty feet deep, and rather than die by our canoa they came to the horrible decision to cast themselves into this well. The wo­ men, with their children went first, to far as the chain would allow, and the rest followed in the order in which they were chained. In the morning we found them, most of them suffocated. Th# sappers and miners were ordered up, earth and stones was thrown in upost them, and the well became their graven I remember that at the time the occur*- rence was regretted because we lost the chain. "In that campaign I participated, in. two forlorn hopes, where we scaled Sikh entrenchments with ladders and fought hand-to-hand with the Sikhs within.

George had a nice little dog, that was as gentle as a lamb. He would sit by George's side quietly for an honor « time. He would not .bark at passers-by, or at strange dogs, and would never bite anybody or anything. Thomas' dog, on the contrary, was al­ ways fighting other dogs, and would sometimes tear them quite cruelly, fie would also fly at the hens and cats in • the neighborhood, and on several occa ­ sions he had been known to seize a cow by the nostrils and pull her down. He barked at every stranger who came along, aud would bite them, unless somebody interfered. Now, boys, which dog would you like to own, George's or3 Thomas'?" >• They didn't hesitate for a moment.. The answer came in one eager shout, ^TUomas*!"--London . Pick-Me- I Some Old French Proverbs. 4 :4*i "It was not for the plums," (that is, it was not for a trifle), is said to be as old as the Crusades, when the French made an unsuccessful attack on Damas­ cus. and the joke of the day was that it had all been for the plums, which are abundant to this day in Damascus, and were brought into Europe from that and other oriental places. "Do put it off to Quasimodo" is an old saying. The custom was to settle debts in France at Easter, and Quasimodo was the Sunday of the octave of Easier. It may be re­ membered that in Victor Hugo's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" the ter- . rible hero bears the name of Quasimodo. A familiar consolation in trouble was Oliver Maillard's proverb: "If you lose a cow, it is something to get back her jail, for that will make a bell-pull." Maillard, who appears to have had some dry humor, was a cordelier, who was confessor to Charles VIIL, King of France, the cotemporary, in the closing* part of the Fifteenth century, of Henry VII.-of England.
