The revenue reformers, he had been in­ formed, would be stronger, numerically, in the next Congress, in proportion to the total number of Democrats, than in the last Congress, and the policy of tariff re­ form, he thought, must and would con­ tinue to be pressed.

SECRETARY LAMAR says the reason why Gideon Tucker wrote such a high-sounding letter when offered the office of Commis­ sioner to examine railroads is that the place was tendered to Mr. Tucker because he had repeatedly and persistently applied for some office.

E. Del^ado, Lieut. Col. Indalecio Garcia, Commander Miguel Cortez, and Lieut. Gabriel Loyan, who were shot at Comayagua for leading an expedition against Honduras. The lour officers above nmiiod were lodged in a small prison at Comava^ua when the news of their sen­ tence renchtd them. Gen. Delgado's wife was there to plead with a wife's tears and a woman's devotion for hnr husband's life. It was the desire of President Bogran to spare Gen. Delgado's lite if possible, and any pretext would have been readily seized upon to give an opportunity of saving him and at the name time vindicate the tribunal which had condemned him. The President sent a messenger to him to say that if he would piomise never again to take up arms against Honduras he should receive a pardon. The soldier was too brave to accept even his life on these terms, and he sent back word that he would see Honduras in au even more trop- Jical climate than she now enjoyed before ,he would accept his pardon on suoh a 'pledge. When his answer was received, there was nothiug left but to prepare for the execution. In the countries south of this there are few preliminaries to such not uncommon events. A priest, a firing squad, and a cof­ fin are soon obtained. On the morning of their execution the men were taken to a point near the church of Comayagua. Four coffins were placed near the wall and the four condemned men were led to them. They accepted their positions as easily and as gracefully as if they were in the boxes at the opera, and not a face was blanched, not a nerve quivered. Gen. Del- gado asked and received permission to order the guard to fire, which he did, first requesting them not to shoot him in the face but in the breast. There was no rat­ tle, no spattering reports, but one sharp, stunning report. The four men for half a second remained in an upright position, as if still unhurt, and then rolled over limp and bloody, dead. The soldiers had com­ plied with Gen. Delgado's request, for three balls had penetrated his breast. HENRY GEORGEL Hit Admirers Announce They Bail Him Tor President. Will Hemy George, the Workingmen's candi­ date for Mayor of New York Ci'y, polled nearly 70,000 votes, or within 23,000 of the number cast for Abram S. Hewitt, the suc­ cessful Democratic candidate, and nearly 8,000 more than were polled by Roose­ velt, the Republican candidate. George's friends are enthusiastic over this large following in the metropolis, and announce their intention of running him for President in 1888. A recent dispatch from fffcwiTbrk says: "Henry George, the de­ feated labor candidate for Mayor, was given a large reception at Cooper Union. James Repath and John Swinton occupied seats on the platform. Resolutions were adopted calling on the district organizations to con­ tinue their work, throw open their doors to new members, and prepare by organization and education for future contests. The Central Labor Union is called upon to issue an address to organizations in other cities, asking their co-operation by similar movements that a national party might be formed. Henry George made an address, in which he predicted that the movement inaugurated here would spread through­ out the country." BENJ. FOLSOJL The New Consul at ,Sheffield, Eng. Benj.

The scene of the tragedy is near Marine, in. the extreme south corner of Hodgeman County. About seven years ago a beautiful young lady named Lowber fell desperately in love with Samuel Purple, a man whose reputa­ tion for sobriety and mildness of nature was not by any means enviable. Against the wishes of all to whom the young lady was in any way connected, they were married and settled down near Marine. They never lived happily together, and Purple's vicious- ness culminated Friday morning last in the murder of part of his family and in his own death at the hands of an enraged mob three days later. At the time of the murder his family consisted of Beven persons--himself, his wife, his wife's sister, and four little chil­ dren, the youngest of whom was only three weeks old. Friday morning his wife arose as usual and prepared breakfast. She then went to awaken her husband, which so en­ raged him as to incite him to the heinous crime which soon followed. He sprang violently from his bed, and, seizing his revolver, shot his wife through the body, from which wonnd she died at once. The new-born babe was next fired at, with the same result. He next shot and killed another one of hiB children. His sister-in-law, Miss Lowber, was then selected and fired at, the ball passing through the arm and lodging somewhere in the shoulder. As this emptied his revolver, he proceeded to load his shot­ gun in oider to complete the work. A slight mistake in this was the only thing that stopped the deadly proceedings. The powder was poured into one barrel, and, by error, the snot into the other. With t.hi« he endeavored to blow off the head of an­ other child, but as there was nothing ex­ cept powder in the barrel the child's face Was Only severely burned by the explosion. A heavy blanket was seized and wound around the suffering child and this securely wrapped with a heavy wire, in the hope that he might accomplish by suffocation what he had failed in doing by the use of the shotgun. The child will recover, al­ though fearfully disfigured about the face. The murderer then mounted a horse and started across the field to Marine, with the avowed purpose of murdering his wife's father and mother. Before he could ac­ complish this, however, the wounded young lady had made her way to the vil­ lage and notified the inhabitants of what had happened, and they had congregated for resistance. Seeing that his plan was frustrated, the murderer hastened to Jet- more and surrendered himself to the au­ thorities, where he was placed in jail, sur­ rounded by a heavy guard. That night a mob of about one hundred men went quietly to the jail and demanded the prisoner, who was delivered up with little ceremony. He was then taken baok to the scene of his crime and hanged to a tree. Only one member of the family es- oaped serious injury, and that was the murderer's little boy, who had hid under ]iis bed when he heard his father coniipg. INTEREST IN ADVAJiCtfc The United States Treasury Offering to Prepay Interest on Bonds Without Re­ bate. [Washington dispatch.] The Secretary of the Treasury has issued the following ̂ irctalar in regard to prepay­ ment of interest on the public debt: "By Virtue of the authority conferred by law upon the Secretary of the Treasury, notice is hereby given that the interest due December 1, 1886, on United States coupon bonds of the funded loan of 1891 will be paid without rebate on the presentation of 4he proper coupons at the Treasury in Washington, D. and at the various sub- treasuries. The checks for registered in­ terest of that loan will be forwarded to holders as soon as prepared, and may be presented for payment without rebate on or about the ,20th inst. Coupons of the 4-per-cent. consols of 1907, falling due January 1, 1887, will be paid on presenta­ tion before maturity upon a rebate of inter­ est at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum. The interest on registered stock of that loan will also be paid on and after Dec. 1, lfc>8(>, upon receipt from the Treasurer of the Uni ed States of application, accompanied by power of attorney authorizing that .officer to collect4he interest for the quarter ending Dec. 31,1886, and to retain the pro­ portionate amount of rebate, remitting bal­ ance to applicant." Treasurer Jordan said to a reporter that the effect of the offer to prepay in­ terest on the public debt would be to dis­ tribute almost immediately about $10,000,- *(H;0 among about two thousand banks and individuals in every section of the country, and would, in his opinion, be of great ad­ vantage in the moving of crops and in other branches of business. The Secre­ tary's action, said he, was entirely for the benefit of business interests. BED TAPE. &9.7S 4.89 Statistics as Id Shad. The following interesting summary of the propagation and distribution of shad during 1886 is from a forthcoming bulletin of the United States Fish Commission: The total distribution of shad for the season of 1886 aggregates over 1)0,000,000. As the entire number of shad taken for market is something less than 6,000,000, it will be seen that for every shad taken from the waters this season for market fifteen young shad have been artificially hatched and returned. The entire cost of pro­ duction and distribution has been less than $20,000, and therefore the young fish have been produced and distributed over the entire United States at tbe cost of about $215 for 1,000,000, or forty-six young fish for each cent of expenditure.

[Washington special.] There has just been an Illustration in the Treasury Department here of the ex­ tent to which red tape may be carried. A clerk in the Supervising Architect's office received word that his wife was dying. To get excused during office hours he had to go through the usual formula, and by the time his application for temporary leave had received the indorsement ot' tlie divi­ sion chicf, through whose hands it must pass, the hope of seeing his wife alive had been destroyed. The clerk reached ber bedside a minute too late. A depart­ ment official was asked whether, if the clerk had broken the rules and left the in­ stant the news was received, common hu­ manity would not have been excuse enough. The reply was that it would, but that be­ fore the* reason for the infraction of the rules could be brought to the proper of­ ficials the clerk's departure without leave would have been reported and his place filled from the crush of applicants. He would probably have got reinstated when all the facts were known, but it would have taken some months. But some of the man's fellow-clerks say he never would have gotten back. Sayings and Doings.

This association is re- Xolirity in the Eastern Mills -- Lively- Building Boom--Industrial and Labor Notes $be gfrwtt activity In btrtf&eM carries during the past sixty days has stimulated manufacturing and building enterprise in nearly every State in the Union. The greatest activity is in the New England and Middle States. Laige mills are to be built at Fall Biver, one with 20,000 spindles. One will cost $500,000, and run 40,000 spindles. Textile mills are to be erected at Lunenburg, Mass., at Danby, Vt., at Olneyville. R. I., at West Paterson, N. J., and at several placed in the South. New machinery iB going into over half of the manufacturing establishments of these States. In fact, such active preparations for an increasing output were never before known. In consequence there is an in­ creasing demand for improved engines, boilers, and machinery, besides electric- light appliances of every make in the mar­ ket. Electricity is being generally adopted in factories and large shops. A discussion has been started over the relative merits of water-power and steam- power. The water-power advocates figure out that steam-power, even in quantities-- 600 to 600 horse-power--cannot be created or maintained at a cost of less than $50 per horse-power per annum, while water- power will not ordinarily cost half that much. It is agreed that there are hun­ dreds of places in the United States where valuable water-power can be conveniently utilized at little cost and confer important economic advantages on those who seek this but little used source of power. The makers of wood-working machinery have been encouraged during the past month by a large influx of orders for the latest improved machines for ordinary mill work because of the large amount of work they turn out at less cost than older ma­ chines. Several accidents have recently happen­ ed from the falling of elevators witnout safety appliances. The competition is very close between builders. The British boiler users have a system established by which they may consult an resp< to bi sponsible for accidents. An English mechanic has found a new steel, or rather a new process for making a better quality of steel than is in nse at present. It is good when great toughness is required. The Fall River spinners, when they de­ manded higher wages the other day^ were told that the mill had been operated for a year or more past at no profit. Then they asked why so many new mills were to be built. Two large New England worsted mills are using a newly invented German cord, but it is to be materially improved, and the foreign patent will then be purchased. Manufacturers are watching these expert-. ments with a keen eye, as textile margins are extremely light. Several reading-rooms are in successful operation in New England mills. Southern textile manufacturers are en­ ticing managers of Northern mills into the South by offering them large salaries. The New York plumbers cannot start their contemplated co-operative shops be­ cause the manufacturers and dealers in plumbers' materials are organized and will not sell to them. There are inquiries in English markets, so a recent English letter states, for 100,000 tons of steel rails from the United States and the colonies. All branches of the iron trade are improving, and in consequence the mill-workers and miners are already iusdlon of thrf question of ment is made that Ameri­ can buyers have inquiries in English makers' hands for 50,000 tons of blooms and billets. American plate-glass makers have so greatly improved the quality and decreased the price of their products that they have orders on hand for delivery six to twelve monthb ahead. Two glass-houses were destroyed by fire last week. Steel ties are to be made at Chattanooga, Tenn., for Southern roads. A Belgium firm has just ordered 1,200 feet of belting at St. Louis. The Waterbury Watch Company is turn­ ing out over 1,000 watches per day. The production of the very finest makes of steel has led to the perfection of pro­ cesses in the use of fuel at Springfield, Mass. A finer grade of gun metal is made by flame produced by gasoline. The boot and shoe manufacturers of the New England States are in many cases in­ creasing their shop-room capacity. Shoe factor.es are sprin ing up in the West. Factory capacity will be kept busy all win­ ter. Prices are improving. Twelve thousand copies of Andrew Car­ negie's book, "Triumphant Democracy," have been sold among the workingmen of Great Britain. Great Britain can produce 2,200 locomo­ tives a year; Germany, 2,000; France, 1,000; Belgium, 500; Switzerland, 120; Italy, 70; in all Europej 6,400. The Bald­ wins can turn out 600 a year. The lumber workmen in the North, West and South will agitate next spring for higher pay and will endeavor to fix a scale. Furniture manufacturers throughout the West complain of the inroads of Eastern workmen who do not care so much for wages as for work. The Knights of Labor In the West are calling for more lecturers, more books, more good instructive pamphlets. Their speakers are everywhere listened to with deep attention^ Madame Fursch-Madl. Below we present a life-like portrait of the new and famous dramatic soprano and directress of the National Conservatory, Madame Fursch-Madi, who is announced to appear in the second season of American grand opera, and will make a tour of the oountry under the of Messrs.

The exercises were held in Sanders' Theater, Cambridge, where Jameifc Eussell Lowell delivered a classic address ̂ and Oliver Wendell Holmes read a poeirt.^ Subsequently 1,200 guests seated themft selves at the banquet tables in Memorisit Hall. At the close of the banquet Presk' dent Cleveland was introduced, andBpob*.. as follows: "(i1 • MR. PRESIDENT AJTD GESTLKMM--I <TAD_my~ self to-day in a company to which I am mtSh, . unused, and when I realize alumni of the oldest college in the land surrounding, in their right at son ship, the maternal board to which I am biijb an invited guest, the reflection that for mo then exists no alma mater gives rise to a feeling off regret, which is kindly tempered only by tho cordiality of your yrelcome and your reassuring • kindness. If the fact is recalled that only twelve of my twenty-one predecessors in offiao had the advantage of a collegiate or university . education, a proof is presented of the dem®- r crutic sense of onr people rather than an argil- • ment against the supremo value of tho best most liberal education in high public position*. ' There certainly can be no sufficient reason fdr any space or distance between the walks ot tl* most classical education and the way that lead* to a political place. Any disinclination on the part of the motfc learned and cultured of our citizens to uiingtp> in public affairs, and consequent abandonment of political activity to those who have but littlo regard for student and scholar in politics, ar» not favorable conditions under a government such as ours, and if they have existed to a dam­ aging extent very recent events appear to lndl» cate that the education and conservatism of th* land are to be hereafter more plainly heard i» the expression of popular will, feurely tho- splendid destiny which awaits a patriotic effort in behalf of our country will be sooner reached if the best of our thinkers and educated mea shall deem " ~ S*i : :M W thought and learning shall be wigingly unwillingly acknowledged In party manage­ ment ^ If I am to speak of the President of the Unit» ed States, I desire to mention as tho most pleas­ ant and characteristic feature of our system at fovernment the nearness of the people to their* 'resident aud other high officials. A close view afforded our citizen a of the acts and conduct 4C those to whom they have intrusted their inter­ ests serves as a regulator and check upon tem» tation and pressure in office, and is a constant reminder that diligence and faithfulness arw the measure of public duty, and such a relation between President and people ought to leav» but little room in popular judgment and coifc.„ science for unjust and false accusations and for malieious slanders invented for tho- purpose of undermining tbe peer pie's trust and confidence in the adi> ministration of their Government. No public officer should desire to check tho utmost free* dom of criticism as to all official acts, but evert"" right-thinking man must concede that th» President of the United States should not bar put beyond the protection which American loyO of fair play and decency accords to every American citizen. > This trait of our national character would not encourage, if their extent and tendency went fully appreciated, the silly, mean, and cowardly lies that every day are found in the columns Of certain newspapers which violate every instinot of American manliness, and in ghoulish gleo desecrate every sacred relation of private lifsl There is nothing in the highest office that t,h# ,t American people can confer which necessaril# ' makes their President altogether selfish, ; 3- scheming, and untrustworthy. On the cofy* ? trary, the solemn duties which confront-- him tend to a sober sense of response bility; the trust of the American people and alt appreciation of their mission among the nations of the earth should make him a patriotio sou, . •* H and the tales of distress which reach him from the humble and lowly and needy and afflicted in every corner ot the land can not fail to quicken within him every kind impulse and tender sensibility. After all it comes to thii» / - The people of the United States have one and all a sacred mission to perform, and your Presi­ dent not more surely than every other citizen who loves his country must assume part of tbs responsibility of the demonstration to the world of the success of popular government. No man can hide bis talent in a napkin and escape thp condemnation which his slothfulness deserveip nor evade tbe stern sentence which his faith- • lean ess invites. • - Be assured, my friends, that the privileges this day, so full of improvement, and the enjoy* ments of this hour, so full of pleasure and cheerful encouragements, will never be for­ gotten ; and, in parting with you now, let mj(t express my earnest hope that Harvard's alumni may always hon r the venerable institution which has honored them, and that no man who forgets and noglects his duty to American citi*. , zenship will find his alma mater here. ' A public reception was subsequently dered to the President in Faneuil which was packed with people. For all hour they were given an opportunity shake hands with the Chief Magistrate, When the doors were finally closed thens . were almost as many more people waiting for their chance. The President then pro* . . ceeded to the Hotel Vendome. Mrs. Cleve­ land held a private reception at the homfc of President Eliot in Cambridge.

[Washington telegram,] Since Aug. 12, when the first oall V made, tbe national banks have withdraw ̂ from deposit and presented for redemption nearly $40,000,000 thres per cents. Agaius| this there have been only about $8,fl00,00| ; of other bonds deposited, so that the tots|< *c> bonds on deposit to secure national banlt circulation have been reduced by about $31 ,000,000, which contracts ths circula­ tion by about $28,000,000. If these pro- portions are preserved throughout ther# may be a further contraction of about** $68,000,000 by the time all these bonds ara withdrawn. It is said at the Treasury that this con» traction in the volume of national bank cir­ culation will not be felt in the channels of trade, because national bank notes with% d awn from circulation will be replaced by disbursements from the Treasury, and i|f^ addition, the banks that surrender bondf aud reduce their circulation receive money for 10 per cent of the bonds redeemed anj 5 per cent of the circulation surrendered^ ; making 14Jj per cent, upon the face of thi bond*. On Aug. 12 the t <tal amount of 9 - per cent, bonds held by the banks as a basis for circulation was a little mor« thafc $103,100,000, so that when these bonds arfl^ all paid their payment will put into circula* tiou $14,500,000 more than the amount op currency then outstanding on these bendfli, .A*. lAi I ^ « : >... >. • . v. ̂ V' Z- .
