The tin- ual spectacle of the supremo justice the supreme court of the statu siting a criminal court was witnessed this irnlng when Chief Justice Paxon mrged the grand jury of the court of oyer and terminer us to what constl Li ted treason to the state in the ease of 'ie Homestead udvisory itrikcrs' coin Jittre. j Upon the bench sat the chief justice Jnd Judges Stovve. MeClung, Porter ft.ul Kennedy, while in the clerks' por tion sat Judge Single. The room was Cfowded almost to suffocation. I Judge Kennedy first turned to the grand jury and said that charges of treason having been made against cer tain persons, it seemed meet for the county court to request the highest ju dicial officer of tho state to deliver the charge. Then, after detailing the caus es leading up to the Homestead strike, fudge Paxon said: " 1 ho mutual right of the parties to contruct in regard to wages, and the character of employ- mout whether by the piece or by the day, whether for ten hours or less, is fixed as any other right which wc enjoy under the constitution and laws of this state. It Is a right which belongs to every citizen, laliorcr or capitalist and It is the plain duty of the state to pro tect them in the enjoyment of it." The justice defined as treason the organization of a large number of men iu a common purpose to defy the law, resist its officers and deprive any portion of their fellow citi.ens of their rights under the constitution anil laws. j "It is a state of war," said he, "when a i business plant has to be surrounded by j the army of the state to protect it from I unlawful violence at the hands of for i iner employes." j Inclosing the chief justice spoke as 1 follows: "Every member of buck as . serted government, whether it be an j advisory committee or whatever name j it is called, who has participated in such usurpation, who has Joined in a common purpose of a resistance to the law and a denial of the rights to other citizens, hus committed trensou against the state. While the definition of this offense is tho designing or the overturning of the government of the state, such Intention need not extend to every portion of its territory. It Is j sullicicnt if it be an overturning of it in a particular locality and su -ti intent may bo inferred from the acts com mitted. "If you find from the evidence that tho defendants have or any of them has committed, participated and aided in any of the acts which I have defined to you as constituting th off .use of treason it will be your sworn duty to find u true bill against the party or parties offending. We have reached a point iu the history of the state where there are but two roads for us to pursue. One leads to order and good government, the other leads to anarchy. The one great ques tion which concerns the people of tins country is the enforcement of the law and the preservation of order." GORGEOUS DISPLAY.

A gorgeous display of fireworks had been promised. At nn early hour great crowds began to gather at points of vantage on the river front in both cities, while hundreds of crafts loaded with passengers were anchored at favorable points in the river and har Isir. All the high buildings in New York near the river were utilized ami tin on Park row mid other near streets were fairly covered with people. 1 he display fully met the expectations of the people. Among the pieces was a settee of Columbus and a representation of the ship in which the discoverer set sail. One of the most striking displays was a representation of Niagara falls in sil ver tire. This was at the New Y'ork end of the bridge. It was 025 feet wide and represented a da.ling cascade of shining silver 200 foot high. 1 here was a novel telegraphic message written in letters of tire, sent from one tower to the other by the Morse code. One of the bombs used was larger than any ever scon here. Tliere were some '-'." and SO inches in diameter. After the exhibition the western roadway of the bridge was octied exclusively to pedes trians going to Brooklyn, while the promenade was used by those coming to New York. Just as the salute of detonating shells announced the conclusion of the fire works display on the Brooklyn bridge an accident occurred on the pier at the f'Kt of Iteckman street that was proba bly attended by loss of life. The pier, which afforded a free and excellent view of the fireworks, was crowded with people during the evening. On the southern side the ship Reaper whs tied up and the captain availed himself of the opportunity to make some money by selling seats on the vessel. The ves sel was unloaded and st khI high out of the wajer, necessitating a gangway fully thirty feet long and stretched from the ship to the docks at an angle of 0" degrees This gangway was crowded w hen suddenly there was a crash and the plank broke in the mid die. Some of the people were thrown in a heap on the pier, many sustaining painful hurts and bruises At least one man fell into the river and was drowned. A woman in the excitement was pushed over the pier. She whs res cued. AN Heroic llrtvcr. PiiiLADELriiiA, Oct 11. A slight tire occurred yesterday morning at Morris &.

The general begun his speech by giv ing u resume of tho history of the fop illation of tho two greut political par ties of to-day. He said that the third party of to-day had lsvn founded on the same Idea to which the republican party owed its origin the freedom of labor. Thomas Jefferson nnd Andrew Jackson were tho two political divin ities to whom the speaker said he bowed, and proceeded to elaborate on the per version of the constitutional rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness. The two edd parties have liecome destructive of these rights and they should be themselves destroyed. The speaker said that nothing could stop the new movement. He recounted his experiences during his tour and figured out a majority of from 40,000 to 75,300 away down in Alabama. He said that the subsidized and monopolistic press associations had prevented the truth regarding the magnitude of his meetings from being sent over the coun try. He said thut tho political evils In the south can never lie cured from without but must lie cured from within, and he exulted in the determination on the part of the white people of the south to tnk) their affairs into their own handsand run them without inter ference. Ho predicted that tho old parties would not amalgamate, but would units with tho new party till there would be but one in the land. The general expressed the opinion that tho country was on the verge of a volcano, and cited the fact thut within four weeks tliere had been four wars in different sections of the country. Tho count ry is, he said, hastening to a catas trophe as the French people were has tened toward the French revolution. He recalled the blessed period just before the war, when times were so good, and when 25.0OO.00O of the people had (2,000,000,000. Ho declared that the hue lit mrtni'V u!m t)i;it Oie di'mmtd or money was equal to the sum of the do- mand'forall other things. Now there are 39,000,000 ,.,-.. iLntTilM ... n(, Hi,, money iu circulation and (400,000,0(10 less money to use. If anybody wanted to know what is the matter, let him put bis hands in his pockets and fed what Is the matter. Tho speaker said that banks were poor places to have money. He de clared that none of the businesses in which men earn their living by the sweat of their faces are prospering, but that those in which men earn their liv ing by the sweat of other people's faces were getting along swimmingly. The general scored the democratic party for its insincerity in not passing the free silver bill, and charged that the bank of England had sent over (."00,000 with which to demonetize sjl- ver. Ho related that he had been pre sented with a silver pen, with which h hud promised when president to sign a free silver bill. The people said that there were to day in this country S.ooo.OOO idle per sons. He said he was not a pessimist, neither was he au optimist But he saw the functions of government usurped by the monopolies, and even the police power was used t: hold the hands of tho people while the corporations went through their p'K'kels. We have le eome a set of commercial cannibals, each man trying to cat his neighbor, while the trusts, corporations and mo nopolies are eating everybody else. He roundly condemned tile grand jury, which had returned Indictments for treason against the Homestead strikers, and again predicted that a conditio similar to that which precipitated the French revolution was impending. The general vigorously attacked the democratic platform, which demanded a return to the state bank period, and declared that the people were tired of seeing the bankers getting money at 1 per cent, while lliey nail lo pay len times that rate. He defended position of the third party the money question and clared that tho sub-treasury tern was the only feasible tlemerit of the financial problem, closed with un earnest appeal to the on ths people to throw aside their political prejudices and take their position on the side of the people against the old parties represontinir the monee j.' to vote against Wall street and Berlin und against the Pinkertons and the t arnegies. fumtierlaml rrclyterl is.

Confirmation of the rcjmrt thut a decisive buttle had taken place between tho government forces und those of tho revolutionary party in Venezuela was not received at the navy department until yesterday when u dispatch came to Secretary Truoy from Rear Admiral Walker, com ma riding the United Mates vessels ill Venezuelan waters, saying: "It is reported that an engagement has taken place, resulting in the defeat of the government and capture of the Venezue'aa commander-in-chief near Caracas. Revolutionists will occupy Caracas to-morrow." This message was dated at La Guuyra. and came to the navy department twenty-four hours after it was filed. Short ly lifter ciimo another dispatch from the admiral. This was also dated La Guayra last night and read us follows: "President and Venezuelan ministry have abandoned Venezuela. Revolu tionists successful." Both dispatches were in tin- naval code, nnd as they were short they werfl quickly transmitted and copies sent to Acting Secretary Adce, of the state de partment, and to Secretary Tracy. The cflicials of tho navy department decline to state whether or not any instructions were forwarded to Adm. Walker after the receipt of the. dispatches, but it i:s said that a message was immediately sent him to remain at La Guuyra and to order the Concord, now at Colon, back to Venezuela, should ho think the occasion warranted her presence. No dispatches have been received lately by the state department from Venezuela, It is know n that ni. ssiges were sent to Adm. Walker by Secretary Tracy, but their report is U' l-t a s- eret It is thought probable that the next step will be the formation of a new govern ment with Gin. Crespo ut th" heaii of affairs. The statement that Consul llanna, while out in a private boat, was fired at from the guns of a Vene zuelan warihip is thought to have been an accident, as had the consul been fired on out of hostility to tho United State cither Minister Scruggs or Adm. Walker would cer tainly have promptly notified tho authorities in Washington. The United States is better represented by war vessels in Venezuela than any othcr country. There arc two vessels th'ere, the admiral's flag ship, and the old cor vette Kcarsa-.'i'. with the gnu boat Con cord at Colon within easy rea h should they be wanted. Germany and Italy are the only other countries having naval ships present. It is said that our naval vessels will be kept then- until all danger to American interests is over.
