The party in the basket con- sisted of Aeronaut Baldwin, H. S. Hutchinson, the young groom, and the ; bride, Miss Min lie Consson. The bal­ loon was last seen high up in the air passing over New Castle, thirteen miles north, going steadily to the remote mountain regions of North Alabama, and directly away from railroad trtd telegraph lines. * Ladies Can't Vote, THE Illinois Supreme Court denied the motion of Mary A. Ahrens for leave to file a petition for a writ of mandamus Against the Election Commissioners of Cook County compelling them to instruct the election officials of the various pre­ cincts under their jurisdiction to receive her vote and to refuse none on the grounds that they were women. The grounds taken by the court were that there had been no actual refusal to re­ ceive the vote of the relator, therefore tl» court could notact Death of a Well-Known Hors*ma>». AT Manchester, N.

AT New York, there was a long meet­ ing of the representatives of the big coal-producing companies, but the only : action was to allow an output of 4,000,- 0 0 bushels. This is practically unre­ stricted production and is believed to be the maximum that the companies can produce.

THE Now York Hera'd publishes a shocking story of cruelties said to have been imposed on patients of the I resby- terian Hospital, one of the most promi­ nent places of the kind in the city. Lawyer Reimensnyder, of Lancaster, Pa, who was recently discharged from the hospital, alleges that he has seen the sick and dying beaten, bound and cursed during bis stay at the place. The pun­ ishment was usually inflicted by the nurses for restlessness on the part of the patients. NEW YORK IS going to perpetrate an-1 other joke on Itself In the monument1 line.

Two MORE earthquake shocks have occurred in the island of Pontellana. They were very severe, wrecking four dwellings and injuring many people.. Advices from Iceland are to the effect that Mount Hecia has decreased in ac­ tivity since the present outbreak in Italy. Durinsr the eruption in Pontellana 500 convicts escaped from a castle where they were confined and began a series of high-handed outrages. This only was needed to complete the panic into wh'ch the unfortunate inhabitants already had been thrown, as they were unable to escape from the island.

A YorNGSTowx, O., telegram says the powder mills near Hubbard were blown up, killing George Maggie and Ben Bolan Instantly. : JOSEPH HOWELL, convicted at Tren­ ton, Ma, of the murder of Mrs. Minnie Hall and her four children, was sen­ tenced to be hanged AN unguarded express car on the Cen­ tral Branch at Leonora, Kan., was robbed of the safe, which contained a large sum of money. AT Marine City, Mich., Lottie Ellen Page, aged 15 years, the adopted child of Timothy and Mary Hatpin, was kid­ naped and her foster parents are unable to learn her whereabouts. A SERIOUS railroad accident occurred at Taopi, Minn. The Kansas City and the Milwaukee Roads cross at this point. The Kansas City passenger train from Chicago started up, and ju?t as it was at the cros-ing a Milwaukee freight train collided with the Kansas City en gine.

The dead have been laid out in the sheds of the tramway com­ pany and present a heartrending spec­ tacle. the children being mangled beyond all recognition. THERE has been a terrific earthquake aClong the southern coast of Nipon (Hondo), the principal island of Japan. The shocks were most severely felt at Osaka and at Kobe, where most of the foreign merchants of the port of HIOKO have their homes. The shocks traversed the island in a wester,y direction along the shore of the Bay of Osaka, at the head of which Hiogo Is situated. Osaka and Kobe have suffered considerable damage. Hundreds of houses have been destroy­ ed, but the extent of the fatalities is still unknown and may remain so for some time to come, owing to the destruc­ tion of the telegraph lines. It is known, however, that in addition to the loss re­ ferred to there has been considerable damage done along the coast GENERAL NOTES.

AT Conneaut, Ohio, a terrible cyclone destroyed about thirty houses and caused a loss of about $100,009. The storm was accompanied by very little rain. Record's butter-tub factory, worth about $50,000, was completely wrecked The Lake Shore depot was also demolished and the wreckage strown upon the tracks for half a mile, rendering them impassable for several hours. The storm was very severe all through Northern Ohio, and much damage to shipping is reported. In Cleveland the velocity of the wind was from thirty to forty miles an hour ail night, and Lake Erie was literally "turned inside out." Several vessels are reported to havrtfeen wrecked THE steamer Oliver Beirne, from St. Louis, was burned at Milliken's Bend, twenty-five mTles above Vicksburg, Miss. Twelve lives are known to have been lost and more are thought to have perished The boat was on her way to New Orleans. She had 110 passengers on board. The steamer Oliver Bierne was a new and handsome passenger boat and was built at .Jeffersonvllle, Ind, four years ago. She has been used In the excursion traffic on the Mississippi River for tlieTail two summers ind dur­ ing the winter season has p.ied between local points at the lower end of the river. The boat was valued at $50,000 and was owned by the Planters and Merchants' Packet Company of New Orleans. She was fully insured. NELLIE COPELAKD, a 5-year-old In­ dianapolis girl, has been committed to the Kankakee (1H-) Insane Asylum. When 6 months of age she developed a desire to burn things and tear clothes. When a year old she gashed a girl's face with broken glass. Before she was 2 years old she could talk volubly and could rout her brothers of 10 and 12 years in an argument She was subject to violent fits of passion, and she refused to accept the ordinary names for articles In daily use, save them nanies of her own, and at the age 2% she had in­ vented a language. At the age of 3 she developed a mania for killing domestic anim%ls and had to be watched lest she harm her brothers and sisters. A year ago she learned the alphabet, and she has mastered geography and invaded astron­ omy. The act which brought about her incarceration was au attempt to murder her sleeping mother wjth a fork and at­ tempting to commit suicide the tiext day., but 13.4 tons pressure per square inch in the powder chamber. This velocity gives the gun great range and a very flat trajectory, which, with its rapidity of fire, will make it, in proportion to caliber, the most effective gun yet built AT Ottawa, Ont, wholesale arrests in connection with the sovernment boodle scandals are being mad a Eight or ten warrants have been issued and detectives are hunting for Contractors Owen E. Murphy, Robert H. McGreevy and Thomas McGreevy. The latter, who was recently expelled from Parliament for complicity in the booljing jobs, is supposed to be at Portland, Me. The other offenders inc ude civii servants who conspired with local tradesmen to defraud the government by making out false invoices for fictitious sales. Con­ tractor Connolly, whose firm defrauded the Public Works Department out of nearly $1,000,003, was arrested on a charge of conspiracy. Connolly is a mil­ lionaire and laid the foundation of his fortune in Pennsylvania oil land THE Chilian Government has replied to Minister Egan's demand for an ex­ planation of the recent attaclr upon American Sailors The reply is couched in strong language and it is under­ stood that It amounts to a refusal to accept responsibility for the affair. The State Department at Washington has been notified. Minister Egan, Com­ mander Schley, and Consul Me( rcery have consulted together and it is thought that decisive action will be taken soon. The State Department's orders in refer­ ence to the matter are strong. The in- tendente of Valparaiso has refused to guarantee the safety of market boats coming to that city early in the morning from the United States warship Balti­ more or the safety of officers of that vessel coming ashore at night. There is a practical boycott on the Baltimore. No American sailors are allowed ashore. Tr~rr--.. --: ' '. KABKii Bsrom. -t 8OUTHE1RN INCIDENTS* The Wind Did Blow. At Bismark, N.

THERE is a rumor current at the City of Mexico that there has been an engage­ ment on the frontier of Guatemala and Salvador between iSaivadorlau refugees and Salvadorian troops, and that the former were defeated. Nothing can be learned of the fight at the Salvadorian legation, where tho report was not be­ lieved. A TRAIN of thirteen cars loaded with coal was wrecked on the Columbus and Western Railroad near Good water, Ala. As the train rounded a curve within a few yards of Hatchett Creek.the engineer saw the trestle approach to the bridge on fire It was too lato to stop, and he pulled the throttle wide open in an at­ tempt to cross by sheer force of speed. The engine and two cars got across safely, but the third car went down nearly fifty feet, anl the others fol­ lowed.

The outrage is not regarded by Fresi- cent Harrison a* the work of an unruly mob. The wounds on the dead men were made by bayonets, and therefore the so dlers and police of Chili were tha butchers. Moreover, the unanlmrty of the attack shows that It was premedi­ tated. The assaulted men were riding peacefully in a street car, when sudden­ ly they were knocked down, dragged from the car, thot and stabbed. Then, not daring to face the Americans, even though the latter were unarmed, the savages shot and bayonetted them in the back. There is but one ves el in Chill now, the Baltimore, but the San Francisco is at Callao, only four days off, and unless an immediate answer of a favorable kind is made by the Chilian Government to the demands of President Harrison she will be ordered to sail at once for Va'paraito. The Yorktown is now on her way there and the i oston will sail at once from New York for the scene of the trouble. It Is stated at'the Navy Department that there is a decided difference be­ tween this case and that ot the Mafia trigedyat New Orleans The Italians who were killed there were residents of this country or intended to become so, and the United States caused the arrest of the leaders who participated in the affray, and an investigation^ was made of the affair, but in the case of the American sailors who were killed and assaulted no action whatever has been taken, as far as can be ascertained, by the Chilian authorities toward investi­ gating the riot caused by the Chilian t sailors, and as the attack was upon ' American sailors it is considered 4 direct insult to the American flag. ' The action of the Chi'ian Government in the present difficulty with the United States was similar to the position of Paraguay in 1857, when that country was brought to terms by the vigorous action of President Buchanan. The Government of Paraguay had, upon friv­ olous and even insulting pretexts, re­ fused to ratify the treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation concluded with it March 4, 1853, as amended by the United states Senate. It had seized and appropriated the property of Amer­ ican citizens ^residlng in Paraguay, violent*and arbitrary manner, and finally on Feb. 1, 1855, by order of President Lopez, it had fired upon tho United States ship Water Witch, under Commander Thomas J. Page, of the navy, and killed the sailor at the helm, while the vessel was peace­ fully employed in surveying the Parana River, to ascertain its fitness for steam navigation. The honor as well as the Interests of this country demanded satis­ faction. The President brought the subject to the notice of Congress in his first annual message, Dec. 8, 1857. In this he informed Congress that be would make a demand for redress on the Gov­ ernment of Paraguay in a firm but con* dilatory manner, but at the same time observed that "this will the more prob­ ably be granted if the Executive shall hava authority to use other means in the event of refusal. This is accordingly recommended." Congress responded favorably to this recommendation. On the Sd of June, 1858, Congre-s passed a joint resolution authori ng the President "to adopt such measures and use such force as, in his judgment, may be necessary and advisa­ ble in the event of a refusal of just sat­ isfaction by the Government of Paraguay in connection with the attack on the United States steamer Water Wit^h, and with other matters referred to ifi tha an­ nual message." Congress also made an appropriation to defray the expenses of commissioner to Paraguay, should he deem it proper to appoint one. "for the adjustment of difficulties" with that re­ public. » Paraguay ft situated far in the interior of South America, and its capt at, the city of Asuncion, on the left bank of the River Paraguay, is more than a thou­ sand miles from the n outh of the La Plate. Protect) d by his remole and se­ cluded position, President Lopez but Uttle apprehended that a navy frcm a far distant country could ascend the La Plate, the Para a and iheParaguay an1 reach the capital This was doubtless the reason why ha had ventured to place us at defiance. Under these .circum­ stances President Buchanan deem d it advisable to send w th Jam s 11 Bowl lyg, our Commissioner to 1 a.aguay, a naval force suflicent to exact justice should negotiation fall. This consisted of I Ineteen armed vossels, great and small, carrying 200 guns and 2,500 sail­ ors and marines, a'l under the command of Commodore Shubrick. Soon after the-arrival of the expedi­ tion at Montevideo, Commissioner Bowl­ ing and Commodore Shubrick proceeded to ascend the rivers to Asuncion in the steamer Fulton, accompanied by the Water Witch. Meanwhile the remain­ ing vessels rendezvoused in the Parana, near Rosario, a position from which they could act promptly in case of need The commiss oner arrived at Asuncion on Jan. 35, 1859, and left it Feb. 10. Within this brief period he had ably and successfully accomplished ail the ob­ jects of his mission.. In addition to am­ ple apologies, he obtained from Presi­ dent Lopei: the payment of $10,003 for the family of Seaman < hauey, who had been killed in the attack upon the Water 4.0) 4.0J .ee .64 .89 m M .31} .69 IUW @ 5.75 & 4.75 & 1.01 & M • M i 3 0 M f M 11.88 • *'* CHILI'S B&l MAI *UB A **r. 13.

The Chilian Government has replied to United States Minister Egan's de- maad for reparation for the recent at­ tack upon the United States steamship Baltimore's crew, it is a refusal tr> ac­ cept responsibility for the affair. Min­ ister Egan has notified the fState De- partment at Washington, and decisive actfott is looked for very quickly. The authorities of Valparaiso have gone so far as to refuse to guarantee the safety of market boats coming to that city from the United States war-ship Balti­ more, or the safety of oflicers of that vessel cominir ashore at night. Minister Egan has notified our Government that the crow of the Baltimore are practi­ cally boycotted, and no American sail­ ors are permitted to land at that r ort. Much surprise is expressed at the "ery strong languge in which the Chilian Government's too y Is co C'I •& The attack on the blue jackets of the cruiser Baltimore occurred in the street* of Valparaiso on Get. lfl, and was, in the opinion of the oil cers of the Balti­ more, due mainly to tho feeling of hos­ tility entertained by the ma^of Chilians toward Americans. The police of tho city, as the investigation, of the affair by Captain W. S. Schley and tho officers of the Baltimore showed, assisted tho mob In its assault upon the sailors. The Chilians were armed with knives and pistols, and the blue jackets had no weapons. One of the blue-jackets, Charles Rig- gin, a boatswain's male, was dragged from a street car by a mob and shot to death. Five more mon were danger­ ously wounded w.th knives and bay­ onets. One has since died of his wounds.

The reply, as stated above, Is a most de­ fiant one, and may call for speedy action by the United States. In view of the trouble that seems to be imminent Secretary Tracy has re­ ported to the President that the follow­ ing war vessels can be made aeady and equipped in ninety days: The Philadelphia, of 4,413 tons, Is 315 feet long, 10,500-horse power, and can steam nineteen knots an hour. She carries four 8-inch and six 6-inch breech loading rifles. She also has torpedo tubes The Eearsarge !s a wooden vessel of 1,550 tons, 82- horse power and* can •team along nine knots an hour. She carries two 8-inch 8-ton and four 9-in'ch 4-ton smooth bores and one 60-pounder breech-loader. The cruiser Concord is of 1,700 tons burden, 230 feet long, 3,400 horse pow­ er, and can'make sixteen knots an hour. Her armament consists of six 6-inch breech-loading rifles and several rapid- fire guns. The Chicago is 4,500 tons burden, 415 feet long, and has 5,000 horse power and can cover fifteen knots an hour.

She has 1,300-horse power, and can steam ̂ thirteen knots an hour. Her guns are four C-inch breech-loading rifles fcnd several rapid- fire guns. The Baltimore, already at Valparaiso, is of 4,413 tone burden, 315 feet long, has an Indicated horse power of 10,750 and can make nineteen knots in an or­ dinary sea. She carries four 8-inch 11%-ton breech-loading rifles, six Cl­ inches and a number of smaller iruns. The Yorktown is 1,700 tons, 230 feet long, 3,400 Indicated horse power and can make sixteen knots.

N BETWEEN 18, Badly Won nded--Mounted wUhCon*lderaMeOUBenl^l>Upema the (lavage Combatant*--Work fa* tit* Sur­ geon*. lilsh filood Fow*. When Messrs. William O'Brien and John Dillon arrived in Cork, the two distinguished members of Parliament were met by a deputation composed of members of the National Federation, representatives of the Gaelic Club, tho municipal officers, and a large number of priest* An enormous crowd of peo­ ple lined the route, followed by the pro­ cession which followed Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon from the railroad station. The procession was headed- by a brass band and was escorted by a strong de­ tachment of police. The fact that the police and military were thoroughly prepared for a riot alone prevented the city from becoming a scene of slaughter. After the conven­ tion a large body of police closed about Dillon and O'Brien to escort them to their hotel. Dillon passed a few words of commonplace with the inspector in command, and that functionary listened very stiffly and condescendingly. The Incident was witnessed by the Parneil- ltes, who howled in derision. For some distance the procession passed along without more serious demonstration, the crowds on the street, however, growing every moment more excited. The McCarthyites, including a number of priests and the redoubtatrle Canon O'Maboney, followed Dillon and O'Brien. Every now and then a Parnellite in the crowd would howl and swing a shlllalah around his head and make a dash for the McCarthyites. The police would then charge and restore order for a mo­ ment. At length the Parnellites grew uncon­ trollable, and yells of "Murderers," "En­ gland's lickspittles," and other epithets saluted the McCarthyites. The latter knew that they would soon be attacked, and came to a halt, tnrning on their as­ sailants. Missiles of all kinds flew through the air, and the cries of defi­ ance became louder and louder. The blood tiowing from in urcd heads and limbs, the groans of the fatten wounded, the fierce energy of the combatants, and the ebb and flow of the tide of battle, as the advantage veered to either side, gave a realistic picture resembling somewhat the Communist uprising in i aris. The mounted constabulary was hur­ riedly formed in order for a charge. It was a dangerous duty, for deadly missilos were flying on every hand, and the order was given to cut right between the two parties, where the police would receive the volleys from both. Not a constable flinched. They formed as per­ fectly as on pa lade and started on the gallop at the word of command. The order was given to strike only with the fiats of their sabers, and there is no reason to believe that, under great provocation, it was disobeyed. As the constables spurred forward the volleys of missiles grew thicker, for each side was sure that if they missed each other they would at least hit a policeman. The police were persistent, however, and at length succeeded in breaking up the riot; this result, how­ ever, being largely due to the fact that the rioters themselves were appalled at the number of the wounded. Many of the latter were taken to their homes and others to the hosplta's. Whether any cases have proved fatal is not yet known. THE SITUATION IN Berolutlonarjr Parties Unite Upon a Pro­ gramme--Merchants Suffer Heavily.

T h i s p r o ­ gram does not tend CLATTDIO VICUNA, to provide a new sys­ tem of administration; it merely estab­ lishes the general principles that, based on liberty, are^ to be observed by the new political organization, and these principles are: The right of suffrage. Punishment of any Government official who should interfere in the elections. Absolute Independence of the three chief authorities of the nation. Responsibility of the Presidents and their* ministers. Seduction of the ordinary expenses. Amelioration of the foreign debt and conversion of .the national paper currency Into metallic currency, reduction of the army and augmentation ot the fleet. Suppression of unnecessary employ* meats. . Steady development of railroads. Amicable relations with all other na* Hons. Limitation ot the diplomatic service.
