American Bhippins; A Movement to Se
cure More ct the Foreign; Trade- An
Important Con volition.
N-fw Yoek, Aug. 19. The proposal to hold
a convention in Boston on the subject of the
revival of American shipping is regarded
among shipowners here as a matter of much
importance and a movement in the right di
rection. The convention will be held Octo
ber 6 next. AU commercial bodies through,
out the country are invited to participate,
and will, it is expected, be represented. For
thirty years merchants have felt themselves
handicapped by Great Britain, first by means
of enormous government subsidies granted
to steamship companies, and then by the
concentrated capital and extraordinary facili
ties in command of the iron ship builders of
tbe Tyne, Mersey and Tweed, so that Ameri
cans have remained apparently in a helpless
apathy while the entire ocean traffic of the
world is being wrested from them.
According to the latest statistics, the number
of American sailing ships engaged in the
whole foreign trade of the United States,
Canadian commerce excepted, is 1,346, while
the number of foreign sailing ships is 6,286.
The number of American steamers similarly
engaged is 61, against 592 foreign steamships.
The comparison appears even less favorable
when it is explained that of the American
sailing vessels more than 600 are
schooners and brigs plying to the
West Indies or other near foreign
ports, while the foreign ships are mostly of
a large class. Of the American steamers
only a dozen or fifteen are navigating
the great oceans. Various remedies are
suggested for reviving American commerce,
one being the granting by the Government
of a bounty of say $1 per ton for a period of
ten years to all vessels built in this country :
and engaged in foreign trade. This, it is
claimed, would be a distribution of aid reach
ing all classes. The convention will, it is
believed, endeavor to harmonize all interests
by drafting a bill to be presented to Congress
which shall be satisfactory to all sections and
open the way for the recovery of our com
mercial trade.
Mobbing tbe "Salvation Army" A Scene
of Disorder In Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, Aug. 19. There is a sect in
this city who call themselves the American
Salvation Army, their mission being to con
vert all who are inclined to the belie that
there is no hereafter or that their sins in this
world will not be visited upon them in the
next. The members are holding meetings in
the Chapel of Little Jacob in Bridge street,
near Tillary, but as their services are not al
ways conducted in the inside of the building,
and as their prayers and exhortations may be
heard for a long distance, they have natural
ly collected large crowds in the streets. Po
lice were detailed usually to protect the wor
shipers from insult. Last night the Super
intendent of Police failed to detail any po
licemen for this purpose, and the members
of the sect met with rough usage at the hands
of a mob who had been attracted to the little
chapeL The crowd took advantage of the
absence of the police, and, after yelling and
shouting at the army or worsmpers, tney
assaulted them with tomatoes, potatoes and
other missiles. The Salvation Army was put
to flight, and the mob was left in possession
of the place. The Rev, J. C. Erwin was
struck in the face, it is said, with a faded
bouquet, and went to the Washington street
station house to make a complaint. He was
referred to Inspector Waddy at police head
quarters, and the latter assured him that his
flock should be protected.
Altered Bonds A Sensation In Financial
Circles.
New Yoek, Aug. 19. The examination of
Elijah Alliger, the insurance broker charged
with negotiating a stolen bond, was adjourned
in the Tombs police court until to-morrow on
account of the absence of his counsel. Some
facts regarding the case have leaked out. It
seems that in September, 1873, Owen O'Con
nor7 an eccentric and wealthy Irish contrac
tor in this city, while in the vestibule of the
Astor House was robbed of $50,000 in bonds
of the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad.
Bond No. 2,984, for $1,000, one of the num
ber stolen, was discovered in the banking
house of Hamilton & Bishop on Tuesday,
where it had been deposited for negotiation
by Alliger. The name of Owen O'Connor
had been erased by. means of chemicals.
Police Inspector Byrnes was asked whether
sixteen similarly altered bonds nad been
traced to Alliger, but he declined to commit
himself. He said, however, that he expected
some startling developments in this case.
It has transpired that other parties are im
plicated in the bond forgeries for which
Alliger is now under arrest, but the police re
fuse to give their names. Alliger attempted
two weeks ago to negotiate two Illinois Cen
tral railroad bonds which had been stolen
from the messenger of a banking firm. Alli
ger, when informed that they had been stolen,
took back the bonds and transferred them to
the firm whose messenger had been robbed.
It is ascertained that Alliger during the past
six months has hypothecates! bonds at the
Third National Bank to the extent of over
$30,000, all of which bonds were either
stolen, forged or altered. He claims to have
purchased them from some man whom the
police have not been able to find. It is
thought this is only the beginning of a reve
lation to be made relative to his dishonest
transactions.
Tbe Obelisk Flan for Landing tbe Mono
lith. New Yoek, Aug. 19. The work of unload
ing the steamer Dessoug of her 500 tons bal
last is about completed and the vessel will
now be taken to Staten Island. The Egyp
tian obelisk will thfere be transferred to a
scow, which will be towed to a dock on East
river near Eighty-second street, when it will
be drawn on land to the selected site in Cen
tral Park. The plan for transferring the
obelisk to the scow at Clifton, S. L, is as fol
lows : The Dessoug will be taken to Law
ler's marine railway establishment at Clifton,
where it will be drawn out of the water and
on top of the cradle. The engine to be used
is of 50-horse power, and gearing has been
attached increasing its power 225 times. The
Dessoug with obelisk on board will weigh
about 1,600 tons, and the capacity of the
crfidle is 2,000 tons. The engine house sits
fifty feet from Bhore. From it two inclined
ground-ways or rows of piles run out 665
feet into the water upon, which rest immense
timbers bolted together. The cradle, vetiich
is 14 feet wide and 300 feet long, is hauled up
and down along the top of the groundways
by means of immense endless chains. The
cradle will be drawn out into the water 365
feet to take the Dessoug, which is 250 feet
long. 'When the cradle is in proper position
at high water the Dessoug will be pulled
"head on" to the cradle and both will be
pulled up the inclined groundways from the
engine house. . At this point the obelisk will
be run out on a second set of groundways
running at an angle of twenty degrees from
the chief grounds ays. By means of cannon
balls, hydraulic pumps and blocks and tackle
the scow will then be ran under the timbers
on which the obelisk will rest, and at high
water will lift the timbers and obelisk and
tow them to New York. The work of re
moving the obelisk from the ship will take
nearly two weeks.
Leaping ftns High Bridge A Yossg
Scotchman's Sara Leap tf Over One
Basdnd Fb
i Niw Yokk, Aug. 19. It was announced at
Bigh Bridge, Wednesday, that at 6 o'clock in
the afternoon Bobert Donaldson, a young
Scotchman, would leap from the center of
the bridge into the river. Long before the
hour named persons swarmed in from, the
surrounding country and took, favorable po
sitions from which to view the leart Shortly
after 6 o'clock a man was seen coming across
the bridge from the direction of Kyle's cot
tage. A lad accompanied him, and together
they walked rapidly until they reached the
center of the bridge. -They passed over the
middle archway, and the man, taking off his
coat, handed it to his, companion. He was
then dressed in tights with no covering on
his head, but with a heavy pair of shoes on.
He climbed upon the parapet and stood erect
before the multitude, waving a large white
handkerchief. This was the signal for readi
ness, and two steamboats in the river below
blew their whistles. . The man : paused
for about a minute longer, and then
sprang from the bridge. Both feet
were held tightly together and his
figure was erect. His hands and arms were
flapped, as a bird's wings are. In this man
ner ne continued until within about fifteen
feet of the surface of the water, when he
drew his arms to his side and threw his head
forward. He struck the water on the middle
of his back. There was a moment of sus
pense, in which the spectators held their
breaths, and every eye scanned the water
where the man had disappeared. In less
than a minute he came to the surface, and
struck out for the nearest craft. He was
taken to the shore, and friends carried him
to the hotel, where a physician rubbed him
down with alcohol and rolled him in blankets.
His pulse was found to be at 130, and ten
minutes later it was reduced to 102.
Donaldson is 30 years of age and was born
in Tain. Scotland. When 17 years of age he
jumped from the Sunderland bridge on the
Ware, England, a distance of over seventy
feet. A week ago he accomplished the same
feat that he did Wednesday, but only a few
persons saw him, and it was discredited. The
height of the bridge above the high-water
mark is 116 feet.
Ran Over Bjr Sixty Freight Cars.
New Yoke, Aug. 19. A brakeman named
Buckland, employed by the Hudson River
railroad, was killed early Wednesday morn
ing. As the train was passing Tarrytown the
coupling of two cars gave way and the train
was divided. Buckland attempted to leap
from the separated cars and stop the train,
but fell to the ground and was run over by
the cars of the last section of the train, and.
also by another freight train which was fol
lowing at a short distance. Sixty cars, be
sides a locomotive and tender, passed over
his body.
A Corner in tbe.Porlc Market.
New Yobk, Aug. 19. Considerable excite
ment has recently prevailed in the pork mar
ket in New York and Chicago. Therg has
been an advance of $2 .to $3 within a week.
Although Keene's name has been mentioned
in the corner, it appears on investigation that
Mr. Armour, of Chicago, a member of the
firm of Armour & Co. , of this city, is a lead
ing spirit in the matter. According to a
sworn statement received from Chicago
Wednesday evening, the stock of pork in
Chicago is 129,000 barrels against 152,000
barrels last month and 93,000 barrels last
year. The bulk of this is controlled by Ar
mour, who is making things interesting for
operators on the wrong side of the market.
He has been manipulating the market for
months past, being encouraged, it is be.
lieved, by the large lines of shorts which
were being recklessly put out for future
months by the bear operators. To-day pork
for August delivery, which was quoted a
short time ago at $14, was held at $17 both
here and in Chicago. The objective point is
said to be $20 per barrel, and if accomplished
there will be a number of lame ducks, as this
month, it is said, has been largely oversold.
Some interesting developments are predicted
before the end of the month. The present
speculation includes meats, and is said to be
one of the most gigantic ever manipulated by
a single operator in this branch of trade.
A Disastrous Storm at Rocbester.
Rochester, Aug. 19. A terrible thunder
storm passed over this place between five and
six o'clock this afternoon. The rain fell in
torrents and the streets were overflowed.
Among the losses is several thousand dollars
damage to goods by water in the cellar of
Burke & Fitzsimmons and Hone & Co. The
house of Fred Bare was struck by lightning
and the roof damaged. The barn of William
Booth was also struck and three cows and
one horse instantly killed. A fire ensued in
the building and it was completely destroyed.
Loss $ 25, 000; partially insured.
New York City.
New Yobk, Aug. 19. '
What might have proved a serious casualty
with loss of life occurred to-day when the
iron pavement in front of the building of the
New York Surgical Instrument Society at
Worth and Mott streets gave way, and the
people who were standing there at the time
were suddenly precipitated into the vauitr
Fortunately beyond a few sprains and bruises
there were no injuries inflicted. This iron
pavement covers a space twelve by fifteen
feet over a vault or cellar thirteen feet deep.
Judge Donahoe to-day granted an order
authorizing the receiver of. the Rockaway
Beach Improvement Company to issue $175,

The receiver is directed to hold the property
as security for the loan.
THE NATIONAL, CAPITAL.
Garfield and ArthurA Bousing Ratirlca.
tion Meeting An Address by Secretary
Sherman Remarks by Other Celebrities
Washington, Aug. 19. The Republicans
of this district held a ratification meeting to
night in front of the City Hall. A large pro
cession of local Republican oiubs and State
organizations formed about half -past seven
and marched through the principal streets to
the place of meeting. Mr. A. M. Clapp, edi
tor of the Republican, presided at the meet
ing, and after an opening address introduced
Secretary Sherman, who spoke about a qua.,
ter of an hour, contrasting the two parties.
The Republican, he said, was a national, while
the Democratic party was one of sections
and States. In conclusion he proposed three
cheers for the Presidential candidates. The
other speakers were Hon. A. A. Freeman of
the Postoffice department, Jerome Carty of
Philadelphia, Prof. tirenier.Ueneral Burdette
and Francis Miller of Maryland. A heavy rain
storm broke up the meeting shortly after 10
o'clock before the resolutions were read. A
vote was, however, taken on their adop
tion and they were unanimously carried.
Onr Training Ships Why They Are Un
healthy.
Washinoton, Aug. 19. A naval surgeon
referring to reports of cases of typhoid fe
ver on the training ship Portsmouth, which
arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, N. H., says
that for a number of years the cadets have
been greatly overcrowded in training ships
and have been compelled to sleep in much too
close quarters below decks without proper
ventilation, and in many instances have had
to' sleep exposed on deck in a climate to which
they were not accustomed. The consequence
has been every year an increased amount of
sickness.
A Dreaded Cattle Plague.
Washington, Aug. 19. In June last the
department of agriculture was informed by
Dr. Lyman, its veterinary agent in England,
that American western cattle affected with
apthous fever, otherwise the foot and mouth
disease, were arriving from Boston at Liverpool-
Commissioner LeDuc made inquiries
among western cattle breeders respecting the
matter. Replies so far disclose the existence
of the dreaded fever in Kansas, as well as
generally throughout the South, especially in
Alabama. The plague is evidenced by erup
tions on the feet and mouth of cattle, swine
and sheep, and is contagious, even affecting
man.
Q.lersen's Pursuit of the Hosttlss His
Operations Impeded by the Indian
Agency.
Washington, Aug. 19. Colonel Grierson
has forwarded a valuable and interesting re
port of the operations of his command in
assisting in disarming the Indians at Mesca
lero agency and the pursuit of the hostile In
dians after having several fights with the In
dians on the morning of the 12th of April.
Having found the TrdiftT1 camp, and when
about to close around, attack and drive in
the Tndiapa he was met by a courier from
the agency with a letter from Agent WQSam
Russell notifying Kim that the Indians en
camped in the mountains adjoining the Tu
larosa were there by his direct order and au
thority ; that they were good, quiet, peacea
ble Indiana who should not be molested, etc.
He says : "I was also informed by the
courier that the TnKana had been ordered to
come in that day te the agency, that he was
on his way to his camp, that General Hatch
had not arrived but was expected during the
day." From that time forward, according to
the reports, the action of the military was
obstructed by the orders from the Interior
department and the result was that only
few Tnniana were disarmed, while the rest
made their escape and joined Victoria, thus
enabling that chief to continue upon the war
path up to the present time. Had the mili
tary been permitted to disarm the Indians
when first driven into camp, the probabilities
are that Victoria and his band would long
since have been captured and the war ended.

The Trotting at Springfield St. Jnlien
Wins the Freo-Vor-All Maud S. Falls
I Against Time.
Springfield, Aug. 19. There was a large
crowd present at the Hampden Driving Park
to-day, many of whom were drawn there to
see Maud S. trot against her Rochester record
of 2:11J, and St. Julien in the free-for-all.
In the 2:30 class, for a purse of $1,000, Par
ana won the first heat, with Edwin Thorne
second and John Clark third; time, 22i.
The second heat was won by Parana, with
Freeman second and Edwin Thorne third ;
time, 2: 25 J. Parana also won the third heat
and the race, with Lady Martin second and
Hector third; time, 2:25.
In the free-for-all race, for a purse of
$3,000, was won by Julien in three straight
heats, with Darby second, and Hopeful third
in each of the heats; time, 2:19, 2:19,2:15,
the fastest ever trotted on this track. St.
Julien's driver was presented with a magnifi
cent floral horse shoe.
Maud S. trotted three heats, for which she
had to seore half a dozen times. In the first
she broke on the first quarter and jogged
around. The second she made in 2:20.
The crowd became very impatient at the de
lays, but when the queen was sent for the
last time they were again in good humor.
The first quarter was slow, but on the last
stretch she got down to work and she in
creased her speed to the finish. The mile
was trotted in 2:19, the last quarter being in
33J-, while the first was 3C and the half
1:10J. A floral horse shoe in readiness for
Maud, in case she beat her Rochester record,
was not used. The track was in bad condi
tion, owing to a new layer of gravel, which
had not been trodden down. Fully 10,000
people were present.

Pierced to the Heart Awful Tragedy In
a Corn field The Brave Act of a Little
Boy.
Lancaster, Aug. 19. Tuesday night a
man was discovered stealing corn in one of
the fields of E. H. Kaufman, living on the
Harrisburg turnpike, fifteen miles from this
place, by Abraham Kaufman, a nephew of
William Kaufman, aged fourteen years, and
Andrew Miller, a farm hand, aged eighteen
years. There have been a great many depre
dations of the kind, and these boys were
watching while the thief was prowling around
the field pulling off corn and depositing it
into a large bag which he carried on his back.
Miller approached the man, saying, "I want
to see who you are," when the thief, without
a moment's notice, pulled out a large bone
handled knife and plunged the large blade
into Miller's body, almost piercing his heart.
The boy fell down, bleeding terribly. The
thief stooped over him to plunge the knife
again, when little Abraham Kaufman picked
up a large stone and dealt him a terrible
blow, striking the forehead and rendering
him insensible. Then the lad ran for his un
cle, who lived some distance away, and told
him of the fight. The uncle mounted a horse
and rode to the scene of the conflict. Upon
arriving there the thief, who had partially re
covered, had crawled under a fence and laid
down to conceal himself. Upon examination
it was found that he was partly under the in
fluence of liquor and very desperate. Mr.
Kaufman could not take the man to town
without assistance. Shortly after three farm
hands came along, and with their help they
secured and bound the thief and brought him
to this city in a- wagon. They lodged the man
in jail. The thief was recognized by the po
lice authorities as John Meyers, about fifty
years old, living in this place. He has long
been a desperate character. When told that
he had stabbed the young man and that he
could not recover, he replied, "That's right ;
I ought to have killed him outright." Young
Miller was taken to his home and medical aid
quickly summoned. Upon examination it
was found that he had received a terrible gash
about an eighth of an inch below the heart,
and his recovery is very doubtful. Great ex
citement prevails in the neighborhod of the
tragedy, and threat3"of lynching were freely
indulged in.

Chicago's Knightly Visitors The Crowds
Turning Homeward Election of Of
ficers. Chicago, Aug. 19. The Knights Templar
and other visitor t are rapidly leaving the city
by every train. The railroads find it impos
sible to accommodate the crowds. Still there
are many remaining and the city continues
full of strangers. It is cool and pleasant to
day. Such weather yesterday would have
been a great boon for the thousands attending
the prize drills. The encampment is still in
tact, but will no doubt be nearly deserted be
fore to-night. The display of fireworks last
night was very fine, although at too late an
hour. Hundreds of thousands of people
were kept standing on the lake front and ave
nues until two or three o'clock in the morn
ing, and then many were obliged to walk to
their homes, in many instances three or four
miles.
The Grand Encampment has been in ses
sion behind closed doors all the forenoon and
is now electing officers. Much opposition
was made to holding another triennial con
clave on such a magnificent scale, but it was
finally decided to hold one at San Francisco
in 1883, the Templars from California guar
anteeing it should not cost any Sir Knight
over $20 for the round trip. V. G. Benja
min Dean, of Boston, was chosen grand
master.

Murdered for His Money Two Mexicans
Kill a Sleeping Man.
Denver, Aug. 19. Two Mexicans named
Gallagh and Valdez were arrested at Albu
querque, New Mexico, a few days ago on sus
picion of having committed a murder. They
had a preliminary hearing there yesterday
and made a full confession. The name of

peared that he had been a sheep raiser in
southern Colorado. They are said to have
obtained $1,200 in money, a check for $125,
several postoffice orders and two horses and
a wagon, besides other effects. Of the
money over $400 was found on their persons.
Duprez was traveling South alone, and stop
ped in a tent over night. One of the Mexi
cans shot him while asleep, while the other
stood by with an axe, ready to afford assist

The stock market opened with something of a dash
in contrast with the lifeless features of the two days
previous. Prices come dashing in at something of sn
altitude as if things were to be active. Any sort of
change was gratifying, but there was a lack of staying
quality in the market up to the noon hour. There
was activity and strength, bnt outside of a few stocks
that were ''bulled" up the market was fitful and
lacked the grip and hold-on features many would like
to have it assume.
The Bond Market keeps steady, with no material
change beyond the activity investors give by the
steady demand to absorb idle money. Governments
are strong and hold their prices with great firmness.
