Wilkes, who had scored down the third path on the track, quickly came inclose to Clingstone, where he bung until entering the back course, when he fell back a length.

Wilk s was on his whirl and he made a superb bursi around the lower turn. The wheel was passed, and Clingstone apparently noticing the fact, let out a link. Wilkes still hung to the Cleveland horse and when half way round the horses wore as a -nan. Coming into the stretch Wilkes' Q( se was the first to show and hisgait was sure and steady. A hundred yards fur ther on, Wilkes was half a length ahead. The speed proved too great for the New i rork horse, who lefi hia feel l'cr five or >ix skip-, enough to lose the heat.

Together the horses came Into the stretch with terrific speed, both trotting without a break. Wilkes was bead and head with Clingstone at the beginning of the stretch. The Buckeye horse Increased his speed, dropping Wilkes to his hip. This advantage seemed to dis hearten the New York horse. He could do no better than he was doing, and Clingstone ),a-M d under the wire the winner by half a neck, making a close and exciting finish. Clingstone fairly won the third heal and the race in 2:10. Between the first and second heats of the Wilkes-Clingstone race, Ben Stanley's pac ing team, .lonian and Little Mack, tried to lower the record 0{2:25, the best team pac ing record ever made on this track, making their circuit without a skip in 2:22>£.

New York, Sept. 26.—The yacht race for the Cape May challenge cup, valued at Si, ooo and presented by James Gordon Bennett in 1572, was to-day entered into by the American schooner Dauntless, Cald well Colt owner, and the English cutter Genesta, owned by Sir Richard Sutton. , Tbe start was made from an imaginary line between the judges 1 boat Luckenbach and buoy No. 5, off Sandy Hook, this afternoon and the course is to be southerly and around the five-fathom lightship, off Capo May, and return to the Sandy Hook lightship. The Dauntless had her owner as sailing master and ex-Com modore E. E. Chase of the New York Yacht club and several other gentlemen were on board. The Genesta was super intended by J. F. Webb, and among her guests were Arthur Paddford and CoL Frederick May. The weather was fair and a good wind from the southeast was blowing and there was every indication of a good race. The Genesta came down from her anchorage off State island un der mainsail, topsail, foresail and jib, while the Dauntless had both gaff top sails, forestay sail, jib and Hying jib thing to the breeze. The preparatory Whistle was blown at S:C7 p. m. and the signal to start was given at 4jo"clock. The Genesta crossed the line at 3:57-15 and the Dauntless at 3:58-20. The Genesta had the advantage of a slight start, which she improved, being an eighth of a mile in advance at a few min utes after 4 o'clock. The lirst race for this cup was sailed Oct. 10, 1872, and was won by the Dread naught beating the Palmer; time. *25 hours 57 minutes. Oct. 4. 1ST;;, tho Enchantress sailed over the course alone for it, the Dauntless having been disabled a few days before. On Sept. 14. 1877, the Idler, now owned in Chicago, beat the Rambler, Vesta and Dreadnought in •it) hours ::."> minutes :IO seconds. Under the conditions the Genesta, should she win the cup, will be subject to be challenged for it next .season, the race to be sailed from the Needles, Isle of Wight, to a point on the harbor of Cherbourg, France, and return. CHlcagro and Providence. CmcAGO, Sept. 26. — The home team was on its mettle to-day and won the con cluding game In a handsome manner, shut ting out the champions. The games next week between the New York and Chicago teams, which are to settle the league cham pionship question, will be memorable for the attendance of notable base ball people. President Younft of the National league has accepted President Spaldings invitation to attend the four games, and his presence will insure fair and , competent umpiring, as in him is vested all the power to reverse any decision or remove any umpire during the game and appoint another in his place. Presidents Allen of Providence, Marsh of Detroit, Lucas and Yon Der Abe of St. Louis, Roach and Rogers of Philadelphia, Day of New York, Coyler of Cincinnati and other base ball officials have signified their intention to be here. So large an ad vance sale of seats was never before known and letters and telegrams are still coming in from parties wishing to secure seats. Should the present line weather continue an aggregate attendance of 50,000 for the four games is predicted. Chicago 2 0 3 0 10 0 0 o—fi Providence 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o—o Victory for Detroit.

Bastian and Farrar tried to make home runs and would have done so but for the good fielding of Uanlon,Thompson and Manning, who caught them at the plate by good throwing. .Manning played brilliantly at short stop, while Baldwin did remarkable hitting. With three singles and a sacrifice, IV'troit earned two runs in the fust. In the second, with a base on balls and a two-base hit, the visitors scored. In the seventh they made three runs by means of three singles and a double. Their closing two runs in the ninth were from errors by Crane and Weidman and two singles.

"Washington*, Sept. 20.—Secretary Manning to-day settled the controversy over the contract for repairing the revenue steamer Crawford at Baltimore by award ing it to the Columbian Ironworks and Dry Dock company of that city, represented by Mr. Malster at its bid of $17,200. An in teresting labor question is involved in this action. Three bids were made for the work, that of Mr. Malster be ing the lowest by about $2,000. ! A vigorous protest against his receiving the contract was made by the shipwrights and caulkers of Baltimore on the ground that he proposed to employ imported cheap labor in executing the work. In a memorial to Sec retary Manning on the subject they say the award to Mr. Malster will be a direct insult to honest American labor, and will be re garded* as an alliance on the part of the ad ministration with capital against the labor ing classes. It was also argued that by re jecting Mr. Malster's bid the government would secure better work in quality, more than sufficient to compensate for the differ ence in the bids. An Office for Agassiz. Washington, Sept. 26. —The president has, through the secretary of the treasury, asked Prof. Agassiz to take the office of superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, Vice Prof. Hilyard, resigned.

Gossip About Eaton's Successor-- Flower Declines and. Senator Jacobs Accepts, Fun Promised in Ohio. Special to the Globe. Columbus, 0., Sept 20.—Judge For aker, Republican candidate for governor, in his speech at Pauldingyesterday, became exasperated over the fact that some Pro hibitionists asked him to define himself on the temperance issue, and immediately announced that he would challenge Gov. Hoadly to a discussion of the issues of the campaign. This was on the grounds, a he claimed, tnat Gov. Hoadly had been instrumental in having the ques tions put to bim by outsiders. While he was speaking at different points to-day the Republican committee sent a formal chal lenge to the Democratic committee embody ing the wishes of Judge For aker, to which a reply was sent that the challenge would be accepted in case Judge Foraker would say whether he was tor or against prohibition, and Dr. Leonard, the Prohibition candidate, was made a party to the discussion. A second passage look place between the committees, in which is was asserted that Hoadly had been patting questions to Foraker, but this was denied by the Democratic com mittee. The Democratic committee con siders it has scored a big hit in the corres pondence of the afternoon, from the fact that it was an admission on the part of the Republicans that they feared the result ot: at this time, proposing a discussion such as mentioned. Foraker has been playing- small towns,while Gov. Hoadly has had" large and enthusiastic meetings in more central points, and to have engaged in a discussion would have brought him out of his retirement at a time when it would have done most good. There Ii some talk of discussion between Hoadly and Senator Sherman, and it was in the nature of a humiliation to Foraker that he should be shoved to one side when he was the leading candidate for the Republican ticket. He appears to have been bound to come to the front and found the opportunity yesterday, which devel oped to-day, but" it is thought it has all ended on paper. f.rt' iriiikisisr » WinniMff Canvass. Special to the Globe. W.a.shes'GTOX, Sept. 2G. —A Virginian who is not active hi politics, but whose sympathies are Democratic, in conver sation to-day gave an interesting account of the political campaign in Virginia. lie said: "1 have never seen Virginia more thoroughly waked up. Each party realizes that the losing side this fall will be eliminated from political power for a good while. Gen. Lee has done wonderfully well, and has great crowds to hear him wherever he goes. Everybody in Vrginia is remarking upon the wonderfully peaceable and good-natured character of the canvass. Two years ago there was a good deal of bad temper in the campaign on both sides and two or three duels took place and others were threatened. It was feared that this year would see a repetition of all this, but so far the state is pleasantly disappointed. There have been no ugly personal denunciations by either side, lint points of difference have been presented with the skill thai comes from long practice in discussions on the hustings. I do not think it is possible to defeat Gen. Lee. A good many of those who formerly went with Gen. Mahone have become dis satisfied with his course. Then THE QUESTION OF STATE PBTDE is one that enters more largely into this canvass than an outsider would believe. There is no doubt but that Virginians of all classes are proud of the Lees, and this feeling is doing Fitz Lee a world of good."' "lias (ion. Lee received any help from the outside'?"' was asked. "1 cannot answer that question from any per sonal knowledge, but 1 know that there is no lack of money for the usual campaign expenses. A great deal was contributed by the people themselves in the state. In two counties 1 know leading young ladies constituted themselves a committee for the purpose of raising elec tioneerine funds. The women of Virginia are nearly all intense partisans for Lee. and you know what a help that is to a candi date. They are all very much interested, and are working with the zeal and enthu siani women always show when they are for a cause in earnest. The Virginia campaign would net be understood in the North, where it is not the correct thing for women to take part in polities; but with us every meeting of the Democrats is attended by leading ladies of the section, who are quick to comprehend and appreciate the points made by the speakers, more readily than men sometimes. THE PRIDE OF THE CASTE nowhere exists to a greater extent than in Virginia and this sometimes has been utilized by the Democrats in favor of their candidate. It is a fight by Virginians in side of the state for their state and one side has the time-honored traditions of state feelings, the pride of caste and the enthusi asm of the women. The other has no strong local root among the people, for Ke publicanism did not originate in Virginia, while Democracy did, and the other incentives are lacking. It does not take much of a prophet to foretell the result." Refused the Application. New York, Sept. 'GO.—The quo war ranto proceedings of James A. Hinckley against Dorinan B. Eaton, Le Roy D. Thoman and John M. Gregory, civil service commissioners, came up before Judge Wallace in the United States circuit court this morning. Hinckley asked leave to bring an action to remove the commission ers and abolish the commission on the ground of unconstitutionality. The court room was crowded with friends and ene mies of civil service reform. United States District Attorney Dorsheinier and Dorman B. Eaton appeared for the commissioners, while Morris S. Miller represented Mr. Hinckley. In opening, Mr. Dorsheimer said that the case was an important one, and as all the parties interested were pres ent, he thought it should be disposed of. J udge Wallace deckled to hear the motion after the call of the regular calendar. Mr. Miller, when Hinckley" s case was called, demanded to know who would appear for the defendants. "I appear for all these defendants." said the district attorney, "aud by direction of the president of the United States." Mr. Miller objected to the commissioners being represented by a gov ernment oliicial, as the United States has not any real status in the case. Mr. Dor sheimer then moved the court to decide whether or not the argument should be con lined only to constitutional jurisdiction of the court. He said he was instructed to say that he aud the attorney general were prepared TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTIONALITY of the act appointing the commissioners. Judge Wallace sustained the motion. In his argument Mr. Dorsheimer said: "The relator is a citizen who seeks the abolish ment of the oHice of commissioners of civil service reform, because the commissioners, by the powers conferred upon them, usurped the rights of the president to the appoint ing power. The petitioner has no stand ing in court, because the right to a quo warranto writ only applied to the usurp ation of sovereign rights, and the United States alone could bring such an ac tion in the United States courts and then only through its appointed officers. Neither had the relator or his attorney been depu tized by the the attorney general to recom mend such an action, and the United States alone had the right to test the constitution ality of the act providing for the commis sion. The rule as he stated it, he said, was fully demonstrated in the case of Wallace against Anderson, the question in dispute being as to which of the two was entitled to a public office. The writ of quo war ranto, as applied for by the plaintiff, was denied by the chief justice of the supreme court of the United States on the ground that the United States alone could sue for such a writ, and then only through legally appointed otlicers. To bring the action properly, he maintained, the relator should have applied to the executive through the judicial authority." lv reply Counselor Miller COMTINUJSO IX BEHALF OF THE BKLATOB, Hinckley, that his client had the statutory right to apply for the writ, for the citizen created the constitution, and client as a citizen has the right to avail himself of all its benefits. The district attorney attempted to smother the petition, though the relator has the right to apply for redress either to the executive, legislature or judicial bench. "The attorney general," he said, "is here representing the president of the United States, but I represent his master as a citizen of the United States. I demand the right to be heard, ami if lam not en titled to a writ of quo warranto, then it is the business of the court to lind me a rem edy, for my client is entitled to a petition for right. My argument is almost out of order, but that is caused by the vigorous and unexpected attack made upon me by the other side, for it was my intention to argue the whole question at once." Judge Wallace—lt is conceded that you have the right to petition. Confine your self to giving me authorities. Mr. Miller—Do I understand jour honor wants me to commence my argument all over again? Judge Wallace—Oh, no. [Laughter.] "The commission," he continued, "exer cised unwarranted powers and was directly opposed to the rights of citizens." Judge Wallace —I can't sit here and listen to arguments oh abstract proposi tions. The discussion must be closed. When you applied for the writ I presumed there would be some authorities produced, but you have not submitted any. I think it is time to close the discussion. There is only one case which could give you a basis for your application, and that was an ap plication in the state court of Massachusetts, and that was denied. I must also deny j our application. Gossip About Eaton's Successor. Special to the Globe. ■ i •;.' Washington*. Sept. 26. —The acceptance of Civil Service Commissioner Eaton's resignation will naturally supply a great op portunity for newspaper gossip con cerning his successor from now until Nov. 1. That the new man will be §3a Democrat meets ■ with very general credence, and yet it is not inevit ably necessary that he should be a Demo crat. Mr. Cleveland may have ready another of his surprises. Your correspond ent was conversing with a prominent Ohio Democrat about the reform and the vacancy, and here is a resume of his views: The name of Senator Thurinan of Ohio has been suggested, but those who are genuine friends of the old {toman scout the idea, and are very prompt i i denounc ing its entertainment as an ii'sult to a great intellect. Besides Mr. Thurmri: is on rec ord regarding the reform, as he has proclaimed himself iv favor of allowing boys who have long been out in the cold s so come and warm their toes, and e\' .. later than this he went upon record with an infer ential distrust of the Eatonian law. When the famous Payne-Pendleton senatorial contest was on at Columbus, Judge Tluir man finally yielded to persuasion and penned that clear ai:i;ak;xmevt of machine politics which turned to the benefit of Gen. Durbin Ward and Senator Pendleton, and was against the Payne methods. In that letter Mr. Thurman pleaded that Mr. Pendle ton be not set aside because he had committed one mistake. There might be now some difficulty in de termining whether the one mistake had been voting for Justice Mathew's continua tion, or the fostering of the civil service re form law. But contemporaneous interpre tation, as the lawyers would say, is decisive, and that settles the fact that Mr. Thurman alluded to the champion of the law. Both mistakes were charged against Mr. Pendleton by his opponents, but the fouler sin was alleged to be the advocacy of Dorman B. Eaton's law. This apparent divergence seems to locate Judge Thurman as against the law. In fact, however, down to the Chi cago National convention, and perhaps until now he had newer road the reform statues at all. But what seems to fire the indignation of the old Roman's adherents is that he should be proposed for a pedagogic position. Herein is lodged the cause of a great deal of ill-advised criticism upon the law. There is always a sneer for the teacher, and a seeming forgetfulness of the grand party heads. IN THIS NATION'S CVRKER. There is a universal belief that a civil service commissioner must be a school teacher, and then because he is abuse is heaped upon him as a pedagogue. This erroneous idea has already . in duced the Indianians to suggest Prof. James 11. Smart, superintendent of education in that state, for Mr. Eaton's place. Ex-President White of Cornell has also been mentioned, but there is no occa sion, either from the law or from necessity, to select a school instructor. It is true that Judge Thurman struggled in boy hood as a school teacher, and emerged into a lawyer. Commissioner Gregory was Michigan's superintendent of education, and is yet entirely pedagogic in mental aptitudes. All these facts tend to give force to the argument that the ap pointment of some man not a pedagogue in Mr. Eaton's place might infuse a better spirit into the law. As the statute itself only provides that not more than two com missioners shall be of the same party it might be proper to select one Mugwump, one spoilsman and one reformer. This is THE XEW YORK SUN'S SUGGESTION. In that event, Judge Tuurman might be named as a high-toned spoilsman. George William Curtis is popularly known as the only Mugwump who clearly nils the de scription of the French attache here. '•How do you accent Mugwump?'' was asked him by a legation colleague. "The cm—phas—is is on both syl—lab—le," answered the Frenchman. The civil service crusade has lately been aided by a "poem" by Bob Bur dette, a kind of Salvation army hymn. He joins the ranks of perverters, by representing that the exam inations are technical and ridiculous. What the people should know is that the absurd technical questions are not asked. If there be technical examinations, they are for tech nical positions, as pension examiners, patent examiners. Few would contend that a knowledge of surgery in the former case and of mechanics in the latter was not in dispensable. But in the examinations for ordinary clerkships the questions are plain and refer to the duties of the place sought. A Substitute for Flower. Albaxt, N.

EIOTING MILL MM. Savage Encounter Between Union and Hon-Union Men Near a Mill at Martin's Ferry, 0. Extensive Counterfeiting Den Unearthed, with Tools and Samples of Money, at Dcs Mcinoa. Illinois Gentlemen Looking for a Wife Murderer--Prospects of a Lynching. Circus Employes Commit a Cowardly Crime--A Stranger Disappears at Niagara. A Riot IVatH Bloodshed. Witeklixo, W. Va., Sept. 26.—This morning at 2:30 a serious riot occurred in liiiughlin's mill, near Martin's Ferry, 0., in which at least 200 shots were exchanged. The riot was precipitated by an attack upon the workmen in the mill by a number of armed men. The workmen had sentinels on guard or the result might have been more disastrous. From thirty to lifty men, armed with shotguns and revolvers, came up the railroad truck from the direction of Martin's Ferry and approached to within thirty paces of the mob, when the guards called out to halt. The mill men still ad vance;'., and in a second or two the command to halt was again repeated without effect. A third time the mills' guards were called out. The at tacking party began firing, when the mill men at once returned the lire and a brisk filing was kept up for twenty or thirty min utes. The attacking party then ceased firing and almost immediately retreated, going toward the river. An examination of the force in the mill showed that several had been shot. The only two, however, who were seriously hurt were A. M. Duff, watchman, who had sixty-two shots from a shotgun in his body, and Millard Bailey, who was shot through the thigh with a rifle ball. As far as can be learned, four or live of the attacking party were hurt, one of them seriously. The force of armed men in the mill was eighteen or twenty. The attacking party, or the ringleaders at least, are known. The mill men, after their as sailants retired, rested on their aims, fear ing another attack. The workmen at pres ent employed at the Laughlin nail works, Martin's Ferry, 0., as rollers and heaters, are members of the Amalgamated associa tion, while the strikers are members of the United Nailers. The party which made the assault on the mills this morning con sisted of strikers from Wheeling, Bellaire Brilliant, Mingo and Martin's Ferry. Warrants were issued to-day for those en gaged in the riot, and about fifteen of the ringleaders were arrested and placed under bond for future appearance. The arrests were made without resistance. Xo further trouble is anticipated, but as a precaution the Laughlin Mill company this afternoon bought a number of good breech-loading rifles and a large quantity of ammunition, which were sent over to the mill for the defense of the work men in case the attack is renewed. The mill resumed work at 5 o'clock this morning as usual. Officials say the work will not be interrupted by the occurrence. It is said on good authority that six of the at tacking party were injured, but how badly is not known. Thomas Dorsy, a roll hand, is reported to have died, and Philip Eesm ger, a heater, is said to be mortally wounded. Every effort to suppress the facts is made by those engaged in the at tack. Counterfeiters Rim Dawn. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moixes, lowa, Sept. 26. —Mary Taylor was arrested Wednesday for burn ing a small house north of Drake univer sity. She is appearing insane. Last night the sheriff and detectives entered the cellar of the only house in the vicinity of the burned dwelling and their light revealed smelting ("tools, jars of nickel, copper, lead and metals re sembling in color gold pieces. Upon the bench used for holding the frogs, vises, etc., they found several half-finished half-dollar pieces. Everything indicated that work had been stopped but a short time previous to the arrival of the of ficers. Up stairs there were two books, finely bound, and elaborate treatises on metals and the art of coining imitations of existing and legal coin. In one was the name of "George Taylor." The counter feiters had tied, and, now that Mary is in jail, will probably remain away. Prospects For a Lynching 1. Champaign, 111., Sept. 26.— J. C. Thompson, living at Sadorus, near here, quarreled with his wife and daughter re cently, and the two women left their home and came to this place to live. Yesterday afternoon Thompson suddenly appeared in the house where they were residing and at tacked them both with a large knife. He first seized his wife and inflicted a terrible and fatal wound on her throat, but before he could repeat the blow his daughter came to her mothers assistance and en deavored to wrest the knife from her father's grasp, her hand being terribly cut in the attempt. The infuriated man then turned on his daughter and made a desper ate attempt to cut liar throat. The outcries of the women had by this time brought as sistance and the would-be murderer fled through the alley and escaped. A number of men started in pursuit, but it was by this time rapidly growing dark and Thompson managed to elude them and has not yet been captured. A thoroughly organized party is on his track and should they cap ture him there is little doubt that he will be lynched. The physicians say there is some hope of saving the daughter's life. IligrlaTvuyinen in Limbo. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 26.—Several attaches of Doris' circus were arrested here and taken to jail at Frankfort to-day, charged with highway robbery. A. N. Schofield, A. Miles, J. B. Webber and J. R. Turner, four young men of Bagda, Ky., boarded the circus train to go to Frankfort to see the show. They paid their fare and soon afterward, at the point of several pistols which were leveled at them, were made turn over their valuables, watches, rings, etc., and a small amount of money. The robbers then made them jump from the train which was running at a rapid rate. All were injured by the jump. Webber and Schofield each had both legs broken, and the former will not be able to walk again. Miles had a leg broken and Turner escaped with pain ful bruises. The men arrested are Richard White, William Carrol, Paul McQuade, George Miller, John Boyd and John Martin. A Mysterious Disappearance. Special to the Globe. Buffalo, Sept. 26.Tuesday last a well-dressed man arrived at Niagara Falls and registered at the Niagara house as Charles Arthur, St. Louis. After supper he left the hotel and has not been seen since. Yesterday a man registered at the same hotel as Edward Barrett, New York city. His first inquiry after registering was for Arthur. He said he had come to Niagara by appointment with Arthur in regard to money matters. Barrett, being un able to find anything of his j friend, returned. to New York, leaving his address at the Astor house, that city. This morning a policeman found a hat and coat on the bank near the rapids. In the hat was a card bearing the name of Charles Arthur. Among his effects at the hotel was found a letter addressed to his wife, which says: "I sent you a letter fiom here written in Buffalo. I addressed it as you insisted, Mrs. Carl Arthur, Rome, N. Y. Guess the postoffice clerk will think a sud den change has come over me, and wonder where your liege, Carl, is." The letter further says that this was a business trip, and adds, "D—d if I would stay but for the fact of getting the other $300, but would go right away to Rome and to you." The letter was not signed or addressed, lie may have gone into the river or may have left for parts unknown. A Lynching Imminent. St. Louis, Sept. 26. —S. King, a big, burly negro and ex-convict, most brutally assaulted and outraged the young daughter of E. Jeffries, living near New London, Mo., yesterday morning. King then went to the house of J. B. Harris, about four miles away, and linding nobody at home except Mrs. Harris, drew a pistol on her, robbed the house of what money he could find, beat Mrs. Harris nearly insensible, and then violated her person. These two affairs speedily became known, and the whole of that section of the country turned out in pursuit of the black brute, but at the last accounts he had not been captured. If he is found he will be instantly lynched. A Prinia Donna, in Luck. Boston*. Sept. 26.—Lillian Morton, the well-known singer, was married about six teen months ago to Frederick A. Gower, a wealthy Bostonian, who spent part of his time abroad and part at his home in Brook lyn. A few months ago she petitioned the court for a divorce from her husband on the ground of abuse, and a few days before the trial Grower's counsel secured a postpone ment of the trial so that he could go to Paris. Soon after his arrival in that city Gower accepted an invitation of a friend to make a balloon ascension, and since then nothing has been heard of the balloon or Gower. Mrs. Gower has gone to Paris to claim his fortune, which is valued at So, --000,000. Prairie Fires Still Baginff. Special to the Globe. TVilmot, Dak., Sept. 26.—A1l day yes terday the wind blew a perfect gale, and at night prairie fires were seen in every direction. Much damage was done in Roberts county, as the grass was very dry and burned with fearfu ra pidity. One man in Becker township was completely burned out. Others lost all of their hay and many of their wheat stacks. It is difficult to estimate the loss through out tlie county, as the reports come in slowly. It will probably be not less than 610,000 and may be more. Punished a Pugilist. El Paso, Tex., Sept. 26. —A hard-glove contest, under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, between John Cahill and John Cow per, took place here last night before a large crowd of spectators. Six rounds were fought and both men were badly used up. In the sixth round Cowper knocked Cahill down five times and was declared the winner. EliicXciiiiriiiim Burned. Kankakee, 111., Sept. 26. —The busi ness portion of Buckingham, comprising fifteen two-story buildings, was burned early this morning. The town is on the Kankakee & Southwestern railroad, twenty miles from this city. The total loss on buildings and contents is 824,000; insurance $6,000. The lire had its origin from an un known cause in Joseph E. Smith's drug store, whose family, living in the second story, barely escaped with their lines. That Insane Prisoner. Mitncie, Ind., Sept. 26.—Bishop Scott, who suddenly became insane on the witness stand yesterday, continues in an uncon scious condition. Several physicians who examined him testified tills morning that he is insane, perhaps permanently. The court thereupon terminated the trial and dis missed the jury. The state had just closed the testimony and Scott was the first wit ness for the defense. Whipped the Parson. Indianapolis, Sept. 26.—Levi Hitter, a prominent lawyer here, became involved in a controversy with his pastor, Key. W. L. Chancy, of the Methodist church, con cerning the character of some of the church members. The argument got rather warm and Ritter challenged his reverend guide to fight to the finish. The challenge was ac cepted and Chancy was badly used up. The church is in a furor of excitement. Suspected of Reins' Accessories. Special to the Globe. Moorhead. Minn., Sept. 26.—Last night the sheriff of Clay county, with as sistants, drove to Holy Cross and arrested John King, a brother-in-law of James lr win, charged with the murder of Hewes, and John Irwin, brother of the murderer, on warrants charging them with harboring, concealing, maintaining and assisting James Irwin to escape. The sheriff also arrested Edward Maynard, a young man whom Irwin told of the murder, and who found the body of the dead man and gave information to the chief of police Tuesday morning, the murder having been committed Monday. The three men were taken before Justice of the Peace Titus, who held Irwin and Maynard in §1,000 bail, which they failed to furnish, and were lodged in jail. County Attorney Larrabee re quested a continuance of the hearing until Oct. 6, which was granted. The personal recognizance of John King was taken, the officers having a theory that King is not guilty of being an accessory after the fact, but John Irwin, who once worked for King, rendered aid and assistance to his brother. The case has been inefficiently managed, and the people are indignant. No trace, beyond King's place, of the mur der has been discovered. A Curious Runaway. Mooriiead, Minn., Sept. 26.—A double team ran away in the streets of Moorhead to-day, with a very singular result. The horses were going with a mad rush and seemed to want to turn the corner into an other street, but were turned in their course and went plunging into the office of a frame hotel. The pole struck the corner of the house and one of the horses went crashing through a window sash right into the office, while the other horse cleared the corner of the house and ran across the bridge into Fargo. The horses were caught without material damage. No one was in the car riage and nobody was hurt, though there were some narrow escapes. Thomas Jlaffill Sentenced. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, Sept. 26.— Thomus W. Ma- Glll, who was found guilty by jury two weeks ago ot manslaughter in the second degree for killing the blacksmith, Bessey, one year ago to-day, was sentenced to three years and one month in the penitentiary at Bismarck. His wife and father and a large number of other persons were present. The scene was affecting, Mrs. Magill break ing down coinpleteiy. TUiiinesia matters. Special to the Globe.

At the special invitation of the emperor of Germany, Mme. Christine Nilsson has con-' scuted for the first time to sing in Berlin. Reading the Globe Want Columns. THE EASTEKN TROUBLE. Bulgaria' 3 Uprising Causes the Diplomat! to Hurry Back to Their Eespec tive Posts. England's Position in the Case—The Ber* lin Treaty—Lord Salisbury and His Intentions! Politics in Britain Warming up and the Time of Politicians Well Employed. Parnell's Party Splendidly Organized and Ills Adherents Have Great Expectations. Bulgaria's Uprising. Special to the Globe. London, Sept. 26.—The Bulgarian sur prise is bringiug back the ministers from their holidays and Tuesday next will see a cabinet meeting. It is not believed that Lord Salisbury will ' attempt to thwart the aspirations of the Balkan states. Circumstances have been wholly changed since the Berlin treaty was signed. The division ot Bulgaria then effected by Lord Baconsfield was indorsed to suit the wishes of Austria, and prevent Russian intrigue from developing an instru ment of aggression among the Balkan states. Contrary to the fears of Lord Beaconsfield and hopes of Russia that by Bulgaria means a consider ation of Russian interests on the way to Constantinople. The Bulgarians have de veloped a pure nationalism and absolute antipathy toward their former Prussian friends. This fact must influence Lord Salisbury in the pres ent cricis. It is safe to confidently deny the Times' story that the English pre mier has already declared for the sta tus quo ante and for Turkish intervention. However, court influences will be in favor of Bulgaria. The Batten berg's are special favorites of Queen Vic toria, and Prince Alexander's presence at Princess Beatrice's wedding confirmed him in the good graces of the queen. On the other hand, this consideration pre judices England with the porte, and in view of this, Sir Henry Drummond Wolffs' mission will require the nicest possible adjustment. Happily the new Turkish foreign minister is fully convinced of the danger which would at tend any forcing of Turkish rights upon Roumelia. He recognizes the ApsTl-RUSSIAN CHARACTER of the movement, and apparently believes that Bulgarian unifaction will defeat lius sian aggression southward. Lord Salisbury must satisfy the sultan on this basis and help control the threat ened outbreak in Macedonia and prevent the consequent intervention of Austria. The chief difficulty in the new situation is that a rising here would bar Austrian progress toward Salonica, and also bring the Greeks and Servians into the field. The Eastern situa tion affects the Hispano-Gennan quarrel. Prince Bismarck is anxious to wind up the question. His acceptance of the pope's mediation is regarded as a great concession and obviously intended to facilitate an ac commodation. It is believed he will make a coaling station in the Caroline islands and agree to Spanish sovereignty over the group. The state of Ireland becomes desperate. Boycotting is spreading beyond the control of the national league, and landlords are pro moting an appeal to the government over Lord Carnarvon's head. Resident magistrates furnish alarming reports of intimidating. The subject will probably be discussed at Tuesday's cabinet meeting. The land question in England is coming to the front with surprising rapidity. The experiments of Lord Follemach and Carrington in small holdings and allotments are now followed by those of a greater political personage, Lord Wolverton. The object of the movement is obviously to stave off the present proprietary and land municipalization movement, and will certainly extend among the landed gentry. Politics in England. London, Sept. 26.—The political cam paign, which has hitherto been devoid of life, begins to glow. The prospect is that the occurrences of the coming week will make electoral affairs quite lively. Premier Salisbury will on Tuesday issue a Tory cam paign manifesto. This the Conservatives hope will put new life into the Tory cause. The blast blown by the "grand old man" dis sipated the seeds of disrupting discord which were finding roots in the division of the Liberal structure. But it has been neglected since, and damaging growths are again fostering upon it. Lord Salis bury's followers entertain the conviction that he can blow a counter blast that will shake the weakening Gladstone temple to the ground. John Bright has determined to re-enter politics as an advocate of the restoration of the Liberals to power. He proposes to make the candidacy of Sir Henry James, (Mr. Gladstone's attorney general for the parliamentary seat belonging to Bury, a suburb of Manchester, the occasion for undertaking a stumping tour. This will undoubtedly prove to be one of the greatest sensations of the campaign, and Mr. Bright's utterances will all make good and effective party literature for the Liberals. Lord Randolph Churchill, who has been spend ing a vacation in preparing himself for the work of the coming campaign, will begin that work next week. He will go to Birming ham and endeavor in a public address there to demonstrate to the English people nOW UTTERLY UNFIT both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright are for the responsibilities of public trust. Mr. Gladstone still declines to name a date for the delivery of the speech ha has promised to make to his Midlothian constituents. Some persons attribute his refusal to his continued physical inability to speak in public, while others believe that he is waiting to have Premier Salisbury make some general statement of the Tory policy in order to effectively answer it. A great many persons have gone to see Mr. Gladstone since his return to Hawarden, and they all concur in the state ment that, so far at least as ordinary con versation goes, the great orator's voice is perfectly good. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, however, declares that his father is under strict medical orders to refrain for the pres ent from any use of his voice that might strain it, but adds that Mr. (iladstone himself expects to be able dur ing the campaign to deliver at least three public orations. Never, perhaps, was any man's voice considered with so much concern by so many people. The most intimate friends of the ex-premier do not hesitate to say that they believe that, although he may succeed under favorable circumstances in delivering a few short speeches this autumn, 3ir. Gladstone's career, as an orator, is PP.ACTICALLY CLOSED FOREVEB. The Parnellites constitute at present the only thoroughly united and compact politi cal party in the country. They believe that their prospects are bright. The Ameri can plan, formulated this week in the Boston Pilot by Mr. Alex ander Sullivan, to raise a fund at the January league convention in Amer ica, sufficient to enable Mr. Parnell to pay the salaries of £500 per annum for five years to ninety Home Rule members, dis turbs the Tories and Whigs, while it im mensely elates the Nationalists. It is the greatest aid ever rendered to the Home Rxxlm cause. It will enable Mr. Parnell to se cure the services in parliament of many an able poor Irish gentleman, now kept by lack of means from accepting a seat, and will place the whole delegation under more obligation and greater allegiance to the league than it has ever been.
