IT IS A FOUR-RING SHOW THIS TIME!
We mean the new EASTERN MILLINERY.
Nearly a carload delivered to us yesterday.
The receiving room piled ceiling high. Earnest
workers are busy opening, arranging, marking
and preparing this great invoice for sale. No
good description can be given now. Too much
together. Glancing over and turning away, we
remember seeing GENUINE BEAVER and
FUR HATS, FELTS, BRAIDS, of a dozen
yes, hundreds of styles. TRAVELING HATS,
OUTING, YACHTING, TENNlS—everything,
I guess, is here. But the Trimmings are the
greatest attraction. BIRDS, a flock of thou
sands, Black, Red, Yellow, Green, etc., and
the pretty little Humming Bird here, too.
WINGS, all colors. QUILLS, PLUMES, TIPS,
JETS, FANCY CORDS, etc. We have in past
seasons handled many big invoices of Milli
nery, but this present one dwarfs all. More
about it soon.

THE NEW TORK STRIKE.
Further Testimony Taken Before the
Board of Arbitration.
New York. September 3d.—Before the
State Board of Arbitration to day, General
Manager Toucey, of tbe New York Centraf,
testified that Master Workman Lee before
the strike alluded to the watering of the
company's stock, and intimated that some
one was making a good deal of money,
and he and other men ought to have some
of it. Master Mechanic Buchanan testi
fied that he discharged Lee by tbe orders
of Vice-President Webb. He had no per
sonal knowledge of the cause. Of the
seventy-eight men discharged, he knew the
causes in the case of two men only—Mal
loy and Conway. Malloy was discharged
for obtaining a pass under false pretenses,
Conway for neglect of duty.
Train-master J. W. Stevens testified that
he never told any employe that he must
either leave the Knights of Labor or leave
the road.
John Seery. employed under Stevens,
testtied tbat Stevens asked him if it were
true that he had joined the Knights of La
bor. Seery told him it was. Stevens told
him he had better get out of the Knights
or it might cost him his Dread and butter.
WANT TO GO TO WORK.
Buffalo, September 3d.—The jfattt says
that a large meeting of strikers was held
at East Buffalo last nigbt and tbe strike
was formally declared oif. This morning
the strikers flocked to the East Buffalo
yards, and dozens asked for reinstatement,
but they were refused their old positions
by Mr. Maloney. who said he bad strict
orders not to take any of the men back.
i
THE CARPENTERS' STRIEE.
Confusion and Chaos Among the Mem
bers of the Council.
Chicago, September 3d.—All but 700 of
the striking carpenters who refused to go
to work Tuesday morning, are now at
work. There is confusion and chaos
among tbe members of the Carpenters'
Council over the action of the Strike Com
mittee in authorizing the return to work of
carpenters who were receiving 37i cents an
hour. This action is criticised by the
strikers, who say the committee exceeded
its authority. President James O'Connell
of the Carpenters' Council bas resigned be
cause of the discontent of the members of
that organization. The employers assert
they have all the men they want.
The trouble in the union arose from the
discontent of the radicals with the action
of the Council allowing tbe men to go to
work for such bosses as accepted tbe union
conditions. The radicals insisted on an
all-round strike, while the conservatives,
who are in the majority, argued that their
Clan was best, and tbat it could be followed
y a general strike next spring if necessary
to bring tbe remaining bosses in line.
President O'Connell of the Council was
also President of Union No. 1, and when
attacked by tbe radicals last nigbt resigned
that position, and to-day resigned the Pres
idency of the Council. Notwithstanding
the fact that Union No. 1 sent new and
radical delegates into tbe Council, the con
servative policy was again indorsed this
afternoon.
"A DIAMOND WEDDING."
Retnrn of a Lady Whose Wedding Was
Made Famous.
New York, September 3d.—The steam
ship Ynmnr, which arrived yesterday from
Havana, brought among her passengers
Mrs. Francis Bartlett yon Glumer, at one
time New York's leading society belle. She
is the daughter of the late Washington A.
Bartlett, ol California, and was educated in
Europe. To her charm of face and figure
is added intellectual ability of a high order.
Thirty years ago sbe married the wealthy
Cuban planter, Estevan Santa Cruz de
Ovideo. Tbe wedding was made famous
by the diamond gifts of the bridegroom,
and was celebrated by E. Steadman in his
poem, "A Diamond Wedding." In Cuba
tbe husband died and the widow went to
Mexico, where she has since been living.
She is now the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel
yon Glumer, of the Corps of Engineers.
"I represent capital to the amount of $1,
--000,000," the said, in reply to questions.
'I am representing a gentleman who came
here last year to transact business, but
whose efforts failed. Now I am determined
to succeed in ray undertaking. I have
been invited by the Steadmans, and will
spend some lime in the country in New
Hampshire." Mrs. yon Glumer is a bright
business woman.

TBE CHERWKEE STRIP.
Cattlemen Want the Time for Evacuation
by Ihein Extended. i
Kansas City (Mo.), September 3d.— ]
President Edward Hewins of the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock Association to-day said
that strenuous efforts are being made to in
fluence the President to extend the time
set for the evacuation of the Cherokee strip
by the cattlemen until December Ist.
If tlie President's order goes into effect '
by October Ist it will necessitate during the
next twenty-seven days tbe rushing of
fully a quarter cf a million head of cattle
into tbe market, which will virtually have
the effect of running the price of cattle
down a great deal lower than the market
has been tor years.
Mr. Hewins said that every Representa
tive and Senator from Kansas bas signed
the memorial asking for an extension of
time, which has been presented to Presi
dent Harrison. Tbe Secretary of Agri
culture bas also interceded.
SINGLE TAX.
Proceedings of the Congress in Session in
New York.
New York, September 3d—The Single
Tax Convention to-day discussed the ques
tion whether women should be elected
honorary members. William Lloyd Gar
rison of Boston thought no discrimination
should be made. Some delegates held it
was impossible to admit them on the same
grounds as men. Henry George read the
platform which had been prepared. The
main points were that all men were created
alike, with certain inalienable rights. No
one shall be permitted to hold property
without a fair return. There shall be no
tax on products of labor, and all revenues
for national, Slate and municipal purposes
shall be raised by a single tax upon land
values, irrespective of improvements. The
platform was loudly applauded.
The last clause of tbe platform excited a
long discussion. It proposed that tht- tele
graph, railroad, water and gas supplies of
tbe country should be under the control
and manipulated by Ihe local, State or
national Gjvernments, as expediency
might demand.
Several proposals were offered, but finally
withdrawn, and the platform was adopted
as read by George^
CHICAUO FINANCES.
Suit Brought Against the City Treasurer
for au accounting.
Chicago, September 3d.—A bill was filed
in tbe Circuit Court tbis morning on be
half of the city of Chicago against City
i Treasurer Roesing and several banks for
ian accounting of interest on the city's
money placed in the banks by Roesing.
This is opening up an old question which
the City Atioruey wishes to settle defi
nitely.
For years it bas been the custom of the
City Treasurer to deposit the city fund? in
I banks and to retain the interest received
thereon as a personal perquisite. This
made the offi— a very desirable one, as
I the, interest has tor a dozen years past
amounted to between $50,000 and $75,000 •
per year.
The bill filed to-day charges that the de
posits were made by Roesing under an
agreement with the banks by which he
was to derive pecuniary profit for himself,
presumably in the same manner as that
mentioned above.
EASTERN POLITICS.
Latest Returns from the Elections in
Vermont and Arkansas.
Burlington, September 3d.—Returns to
the Free Press {torn a majority of the towns
in this section give Page (Rep.) for Gov
ernor a slight majority. Page's majority is
estimated at 17,000, against 27,000 ior Dil
lingham, present Governor, two years ago.
The vote for Allen (Pro ) is about 1,500
The high-license vote has largely increased
tbe past two years, owing to the non-in
forcement of prohibition laws. Returns
from back-woods towns are coming in
slowly. The vote in this city is light.
There were only eighteen Democrats in the
Assembly in 1888. Thirty-seven have been
elected in the 135 town already heard from,
and two of tbe Farmers' League candidates.
There is an unexpectedly large number of
high-license Republicans elected.
Page, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor is not popular, and the Republicans
made no effort, and in some instances cut
the ticket, tbe result being tbat all over the
State the Republican majority is reduced
53 per cent. The Democrats made sweep
ing gains in the Legislature and came near
carrying the lower house. No less than
fifteen towns return Democrats to the
House for the first time.
White River Junction (Vt.), Septem
ber 3d.—One hundred and eighty-eight
towns give Page (Rep.) 27.775, Bingham
(Dem.) 15.841. All others 182. Majority
for Page, 10,852. The same towns in 1888
gave Dillingham (Rep.) 39.861, Shurtleff
(Dem.) 15,483, all others I,IOS, a majority
for Dillingham of 23,270.
THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Little Rock, (Ark.), September 3d.—Re

only witness to the murder and suicide,
testified to the same state of facts which he
gave the reporters at the time. Numerous
other witnesses were examined, but no
new light was thrown on the awful affair.
The testimony in both the cases was neces
sarily almost identical, and the following
verdicts were returned by the jury : "We,
the jury, find that R. T. Carroll, deceased,
aged 46 years, a native of Australia, came
to his death in the city and county of San
Francisco, August 2S, 1890, from a gunshot

death in the city and county of San Fran
cisco, August 28, 1890, from a gunshot
wound of the brain, inflicted by bis own

lieved he was shot by fellow highbinders.
Two Chinamen, who had assisted tbe
police in making raids on decs, were ar
rested by the Sheriff at the instigation of
tbe white hirelings of the highbinders.

erally believed there is a conspiracy to let
tbe murderer escape and prosecute innocent
men.

ficers saw a Chinaman run down one of the
alleys and disappear in one of the many
houses of ill-fame before be could be over

most cruelty. Tbe Captain and Mate, for
tbe most trivial offense, would trice him up
to the rigging and subject him to other
punishment. When tbe ship came to Port
Discovery he made several attempts to de
sert, but each time be was apprehended
and returned. One night about one week
ago he let himself down over the iron bul
warks and swam ashore without being de
tected. He came direct to Seattle, gave his

City of Guatemala, September ;>d.—The
friends of General Barrundia threaten to
kill American Minister Mizner and advise
bim to leave the city, but the Minister
shows no disposition to accept their advice.
There is another version of Mizner's action

MIZItKR RIGHT.
Washington, September 3d.—Senators
Edmunds and Dolph, of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, and Repre
sentative Hitt, the Chairman of tbe Com
mittee on Foreign At—ire of the House,
assert that tbe boarding of the steamship
Acapulco ani the arrest of General Bar
rundia was right and proper from a legal
standpoint, although the Minister, they
thought, was hardly authorized to inter
fere. They realize, however, that Minister
Mizner's position, because of the troubled
condition of affairs in the rive Central
American Republics, was a very delicate
one, and it would be hard to avoid mis
takes. It is quite certain that the Admin
istration will concede that tbe Guatema
lans had absolute jurisdiction in the prem
ises ; that they had the right to board tho
ship in their own waters and there arrest
aay one who had violated their laws.

AMKKICAK POBK.
Minister Phelp. Interviewed on the 1<«
--.trlctlon. of Germany.
Berlin, September 3d.—Minister Phelps
was interviewed to-day regarding Senator
Edmunds'meat inspection bill. He said:
"Public opinion in Germany is doing the
work for us as rapidly as we could expect.
Tbe different German interests are bom
barding Chancellor Yon Caprivi so hotly
that we can afford to wait a little. Our
latest news is tbe startling appeal of the
municipal authorities of Berlin just ad
dressed to the Chancellor.
"From April, 1889 to April, 1890, the
city of Berlin made a gain in population of
60,000. According to the normal rate of
consumption, this increase in population
should cause an increase of 20,000 head in
the importation of swine, but instead of
that the imports bave decreased by 25 000,
a loss to the Berlin consumption oif 45,000
a y«ar. Matters have not improved
since the Chancellor has withdrawn the
edict excluding Austrian pigs, and now
only Russia and America suffer from this
unjust restriction.
"I expect tbe prohibition against Russian
swiue will soon oe removed, and then our
turn will come. In the meantime I am
not a bit discouraged."
