A tiOULD-GARRETT DEAL. The B. Jc O. Telegraph System to Be Traded For the Wabash Koad. Atlauta, Ga., December 9.—The Southern industrial journal, Dixie, has a special dispatch to-day from a staff corres pondent at Fort Worth, Texas, which says: "One of the largest and most important transections ever recorded - is now on foot. It is nothing less than a trade between Jay Gould and President Garrett, of the Balti more and Ohio, whereby the entire Balti more and Ohio Telegraph system is to be transferred to Gould, who now practically owns the Western Union. In return for the same President Garrett is to receive the Wabash system, thus giving the Balti more and Ohio a line from Kansas City to Baltimore. The magnitude of a deal of thus kind can scarcely be nnderstood, but it is known to officials of the Gonld system here that the Baltimore and Ohio have long been seeking to extend their opera tions west of the Mississippi river. The information is believed to be thoroughly reliable, as it is said to lie substantiated by memoranda made by the late H. M. Hoxie prior to his death, and found among certain papers that had been laid away for future reference. The secret leaked out through a party who desired to arrange with Fort Worth capitalists to operate in Western Union and Baltimore aud Ohio stocks as soon as there were any indications that the bar gaiu had been consummated. Nothing In It. Baltimore, Ml»., l>ecember 8.—Dr. Barnard, assistant to President Garrett, of the B. «.* O.K. R, was called upon this morning in relation to the dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., regarding the rumored cou tem plated connections of that road in the South, and he said that was the tirst he bad heard of it. While Le would make no | reply he said to the interviewer, "1 will simply laugh you out of the office." The officials of the B. «Sc O. declared there was nothing in it. Pre«ideitt (iatrett He-Elected. Bai.timokk, December * —At a meeting i of the Board of Directors of the Baltimore | & Ohio lût il road to-uay, Robert Garrett was re-elected President. EARTHQUAKE.

St. I.ocis, December 8.—Mrs, John Gutting was alone in her house yesterday afternoon, when two men drove to the door aud asked admissiou. The lady suspected nothing and allowed them to enter, when they overpowered her and, threatening he life, carried her from the house, placed her in a buggy which was standing at the curb, drove to a secluded place in the southern suburbs of the city and assaulted her. No other particulars of the crime are known at present except that the two men were ar rested. Mr. Guttiug is a clerk iu the Probate Court, and the affair has caused great excitement. llie men who committed the outrage were peddlers, by occupation, and their names are Thomas Cunuiugham and W'm. Maker, aged 24 and 'JJ. They were ar rested late last afternoon by the police and were taken to the Gate street station. The}' were found drunk in their wagou at the time, and Cunningham was too far gone to speak, and when arrested ueit her of them wonlil talk. Maker last night Mid Cunuiugham was the one who com mitted the deed and he saw him do it. Mrs. <Jutting was enciente and is in a precarious condition to-day. It is thought however, that she will survive her in juries. She said to-day that she was sit ting in a room facing the street, when sh< eaw two men.drive up in a peddlet's wagon. They came to the door and ottered to sell to her their wares. A short conversation followed and at its termination they both seized her aud carried her out to the wagon warniug her, in the meantime, to make no noise or resistence. They drove her some distance [from the house, and into the 8nburl>9, where she says they both repeat edly outraged her. An Atroclon* Criuie.l SAkphekp, Tex., December 8.—About 1*2 o'clock Mouday night a party of eight or ten men went to the bouse of James connor, a negro who lives on lüg Creek, near this place, and, calling him to the yard, siezed him, bore hiiu • to the ground, cat his entrais ont and left him for dead. Yesterday morning Connor was discovered, »till living, and able to give the names of the parties who butchered him. Sheriff Poe immediately organized a posse and arrested several of the accnsed parties, and has then- nnder strong guard. The others escaped. The friends of those under arrest are desperate, and the Sheriff is a man of nerve, hence serious trouble is anticipated. Couner was suspectod of beiug implicated in in the Cold Spring mail rubbery, near Shepherd, a few weeks ago. This is sup posed to be the cause of his assassioatiou. He was horribly mutilated, and died at an early honr this morning. A Murderou« F»rui Hand. Eato5, O., December 9.—Wm.

Washington' D. C. December 8.—The following is the President's letter, | trans mitting to Congress the communication of the Secretary of State and correspondence relating to the fisheriew: "To the Senate and House Representatives: I transmit herewith a letter from the Secretany of State which is accompained by the cor respondence in relation to the rights of American fisheries in the British North American waters and commend to your favorable consideration the suggestion that a commission be authorized by law to take perpetuating proofs of the losses sustained during the past year by American fishermen owing to their unfriendly and TK ment by the local authorities in the mari time provinces of the Dominion of Canada. I may have occasion hereafter to make further recommendations during the present session for such remedial leg islation as may l>ecome necessary for the protection of the rights of our citizens eu gaged in the open sea fisheries in the North Atlantic waters. Gkovkr Cleveland. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., l>eceml»er Htb, 1K8(5. Mr. Bayard's letter and very volumin ous correspondence dating from the orig inal trouble are submitted. TIIE FISHING DISPUTE. CanmibiiH Charge Senator Fry® Willi Pre venting » Settlement. MONTREAL, December 8.—President Cleveland's message to Congress continues to be the leading topic of conversation in olliaal circles uud comes in Tor conisdera ble favorable as well us unfa vorable comment. Tüe relereuces oftbe President to the action of Canadian officials comes iu for special dis cussion. The Hon. Mr. Foster, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, speaking of the message said: "1 infer from a glance at the document that Prcsideut Cleveland is dis appoint«^ iu his cHurts to secure a satisfac tory settlement of the fishery question. His disappoihtiuent is certainly not the result of any action taken by Canada adverse to a desired settlement. Iu order to bring about such a settlement, the Canadian Government allowed American citizens all the privileges of the Washington treaty from the 1st of July, 1885, to the Mist of Deceml>er of the same year, and asked in return that the President should recom mend the csahlishment of a mixed commis sion, which should, if possible, negotiate sat isfactory arrangements as regards both fisheries and improved trade relations. During that six months Americans had the free use of our fisheries, while Cana dians were met iu the F ni ted States by the imposition of old duties dating from 1881. "The President," resumed the Minister, I ''fulfilled his part of the agreement audi recommended an agreement, and it was uot on account of any action of the Cana dian Government that a commission was uot appointed. The cause of the present condition of affairs is Senator F rye, who introduced into the Senate a motion, which was carried by a majority of two to oiie, declaring, in effect, that the United States wished no change made, cither with reference to the lishing question or reciprocal trade relations. Similar feel ing was manifested in the House of Rep resentatives. After this authoritative declaration the President could uot ap point a commission. So far clearly the fault was not on the part of the Canadiau Government or Canadian fisher men. The Canadian Government was uot larking in giving fair warning that the law would heeuforced. From May to Novemlier the treaty of 181s has been enforced with all iwssible courtesy and consideration consis tent with firmness. American fishing ves sels have been seized for fishing within the limits and for preparing to fish therein. One has been condemned by the courts after a fair trial and a confession of guilt by the captain himself. Two other vessels arestill liefore the courts, and every facility has been offered the defendants to make good their case. Numerous seizures nlso took place for violation of our customs regula tion. In no case has the department erred on the side of rigor or overstrictness. "That we have not a commission sitting to-day"' concluded Mr. Faster, 'is entire ly due to the action of the United States Senate. The Government of Canada has always been, and is still, desirous of com ing to an amicable aud just arrangement with the Americau Government on the fishery question, while at the same time, we have not proposed, and do not now propose to abate one single iota of the rights of t'auadu as secured by the solemn treaty between the United States and Great Britain." l'UTTIX« ON WAU FAINT. Heralnolri Thrt'itcu to Kltcriniliatu « Hand of Wh It«" Dmprradof«. Jacksonville, Fla., December — The Seminole Indiaus in the Everglades ;ue said to he putting on their war paint and stirring up things generally in Dade and Monroe coanties, on account of the way they are being treated hy a hand of white men who have a ramp near Okechobee. The white men have been for some time killing the hogs and cattle of the Indians. These depreda tions have been going on several months, -hot« have been exchanged several times betweeu the white plunderers and the Seminole*, and tbç latter are now worked up t« such a pitch of indignation that war dances have been held dnring the past two weeks and the warriors are putting on their paint. The settlers have become so alarmed that they' have moved their families to islands on the coast. A deputation of chiefs are on the way to Titas ville to demand redress. They im agine that they can get aatifactiou from the Mayor. That official, however, can do nothing, except to notify the Federal Government. "It some steps are not taken immedi ately for an amicable settlement," said a gentleman who has just returned from that part of Florida, "there will, no donbt. be a wholesale massacre of white settlers, as the redskins are fearfully angry." Clavertus R#«plted. Rkhstoxt>, Ta., December a—Gov. Lee. this evening respited Cluverius until the 14th uf Jaoary next. Mrs. J. T. Riciky, 56i 4th Avenue, Loaisrille, Ky., was a confirmed invalid for eleven year», daily expecting death. Doctors pronounced her trouble to be neuralgia, female complaints and every other known disease. For luontfja h«r lelt side was paralyzed. Could neither eat, sleep nor walk. Finally the doctors gave her up. Shen then began to use Warner'« safe cure, and November 18, 1885, she wri te "I am as well to-day as when a girl, and feel about twenty years younger. Warner's safe core has worked a miracle in my case." Mrs. Richey will gladly answer stamped inquiries. THE OIL PANIC. A Wild Unsettled Stole of Thing* at the Oil Eichang«. PmsBUBG, December 8.—There was another panic at the Oil Exchange this forenoon, and prices dropped to 66Je, a decline of thirteen cents since the opening of yesterday. The oil traders in this city are entirely at sea, and old dealers who passed safely through the great break of 1882 and still later the panic following the failure of the 1'enn Bank in 1884, unite in saying that never in their recollection was demoralization so complete. No one seems to be able to give a satisfactory reason for the sudden break and the fear ot a stil further decline is written plainly on the face of all. A number of local tanks are now calling in their Oil loans, and others refuse to ac cept them without heavy margins. This, it is thought will have a tendency to check speculation. The market opened feverish at 72 J c, aud alter hovering iu that neighborhood for a time suddenly broke and in a few minutes values bad fallen off to OOjfc. A slight reaction then followed and at noon 69c was bid with no disposition man ifested to take any large block at those I. At hour all the sheet« had passed the clearing houses but those of C. S. Leslie and 152,000 l«irrels of his oil were sold under the rule to meet his cus tomers. The amount of his failure is not known, but it is estimated|that his los«|v\ ill average six ceuts per barrel. Secretary Bdrbour, of the Exchange says the loss on oil up to last night, since last Saturday, will aggregate $3,000,000. In the afternoou considerable strength was developed and prices rallied to 7ojr, closing linn at 70c. Towards the closing hour dealers in Oil City began buying heavily, and this had the effect of stiffen ing values here and elsewhere. A feeling that the worst is over prevailed iu oil circles this evening, but it will lie some time be fore trade recovers from the severe shaking sustained here in the last forty-eight hours. Another Suspension. N Kvv York. De<<ember 8.—Thesuspen sion of Stephen I.are & Co. of Sl(i Chanibers street, and F. Allison & Co., of Broad way, l»oth members consolidated mining and I'etroleum Exchange was officially an nounced to-day. FORCED TO EAT. Murderer Jansen'* Cast Abruptly Broken Off liy Jail Official»«. Chicago, December H.—Henry Jansen, the wife-murderer,\\as transferred from the jail proper to the insane ward yesterday,and his fast, which lias continued six days, was abruptly broken otT. He was very weak from lack of nourishment, and could not have survived hisconrse of abstinence many days longer. Supt. Kilev determined to compel the man to take food,and to that end prepared a very palatable concoction of brandy, sugar, milk and eggs. A* was ex pected, Jausen refused to take it. A mus cular attendant pinioned the patieut and his clenched teeth were pried apart with a spoon. A spoonful of the mixture was poured into his mouth, and as he sputtered and spat in an elVort to eject it, a clasp was put on his nose, and as he gasped for breath down went the life-giving fluid. In this painful fashion, while lie writhed and roared bet ween breaths, Jansen was com pelled to swallow a gill of the liquid. Twice, later in the day, his heroically ad ministered meal was given him. His strength rapidly grew, although this im provement-put him in an ugly frame of mind, and he denounced his saviours in the most piratical terms. Another Conwolhlnt ion. B1KKAI.0, N. Y., December 8.—The Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Co. has to day completed its connection with the Canadian Pacific Hallway teiegraph lines, thus adding another large and important territory to its system. This connection establishes direct communication between all points on the B. & O. system in the United States, and all poiiits on the Canadian Pacific system from Quebec to British Columbia 011 the Pacific Coast. It Is expected th«t the line from Vanoohver to Sail Francisco will l»e completed within 30 days. All B. O. and Canadian Paci fic Company's offices will check direct, and the monopoly by the Western I'nion Company, of Canadian telegraph business will thus Ik* broken. The Telephone l'a»«1«. Washington, 1). C., Dçcetul>er 8.— Mr. Jell Chandler, of the Government Counsel in the Bell Telephone case, said to-day that the Government did not pro pOM» to ap;>eal the case to the Supreme Court, but will institute suit against the company in Boston as soon as possible. "Not," he said, "because we believe the Columbus decision with regard to juris diction to lie just or because we have any douht that it would 1m? impossible to get action by the Supreme Court for at least two years.

THE MEETINGS AT COLUMBUS—THE CON FERENCE AND THE FEDERATION. Steps Toward Their Amaigamitinn—Great Opposition To the L of L—Plenty of Adrice and Sugges tion-A Letter Prom President Weihe —Firing the Reporters. CoH'MBi s. O., December 4—The second : day's session of the Federation ol the Trades and Labor organizations of the I United States and Canada opened at 10 o'clock this morning. Immediately after the meeting was calleu to order. President Smith announced the following standing , committees: Standing Orden«, Messrs. (iompers, McOuire, Knierick, Werdes and Oyler; Resolutions, Messrs. Kdmonston, Miller, Fagle, Ilassou, Craigie; Finance, Messrs. Mahoney, MulTainey, Wright, Scott and Krall'; liegisla tive, Messrs. Winds, Negle, Hassou. Scott and Kane. Credentials were then received, and among them was a communication from K. Rubins, ~tif New York, delegate for the Cuban Federation of Cigarmakers. After expressing regrets for his inability to be present, the writer says: "I have been instructed by the local union of New York, to which I be long, to pledge our union in that con vention iu lavor of all open trades unions, and not to recognize any other organiza tionsbuttrades unious." Papers were then read from the St. l.ouis Knights of Laltor, setting forth grievances against the boss brewers of the city. FIRST STEP TOWARD AMALGAMATION*. Delegate Gomjnr recommended that the Congress resolve itself into a committee of the whole mid attend the Trades Union Conference, and that iu the meantime the Congress committees proceed with the work assigned to each. There was some opposition to tbis manner of forming an amalgamation of the two Ixxlics, but the suggestions were adopted and the Congress took a recess until noon. The all-alworbing topic of conversation is the action to lie taken by the Trades Union Conferem-e, which is holding its first session here to-day. The Conference consists of delegates from the various trades unions not represented iu the Fed eration, and it is expected that the two will consolidate and organize a Trades Union Congress. Such a Iswly would ex ercise a powerful influence in the move ments of organized laltor and check to a great extent the growing power aud influ ence of the Knights of 1-abor. OPPOSITION TO THE K. OK !.. The Trades Unionist», while expressing good will for the Knights of Labor, are still determined to perfect their orgauiz tion and bind the Trades Unionists of the country more closely together. With the Trades Unions l>ound closer together the ties that hold them to the Kuights of I^alsir must necessarily relax. The old Hiblical adage, ''that a man cannot serve two masters," isselfevident in this case, and the present movement of the trades unionists to perfect their organization will materially affect the future of the Knights of Labor. There are serious differences bet ween the two orders, and feeling has been engendered which appears ou the surface at frequent intervals in the delib erations of the trades uuionists now in session. President Smith, of the Federa tion. stated to a reporter that in his opin ion little could be accomplished towards binding the two organizations more closely together. The differences, he said, might be patched up for a while, but were hound to appear again. When the Congress convened again J. R. Scott, of Toronto, was elected Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, and they decide«! to enter the Conference of Trades Unions al>ont to be held, and adjourned to meet at the call of the President. AT THE fONKEUE.VK. In the absence of President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Associ ation, Secretary Macguire called order and proceed to read the call setting forth the action of the Trades Con ference in Philadelphia last May. John McRride, P. J. McGuire and Stephen (Jompers wm nomfhated for temporary chairman, and all declined except McBride who was elected. Mc(!uire was elected temporary Secretary. The Chair named the following Cmpmittee: on Credentials, Messrs. Atrasser, Scott, Kdmutidsou, Mil ler and McDermott. There are no Knights of I.abor or Trades Assembly men on the Committee. The Conference adjourned to Ü p. m. THK AKTKRNOON SESSION of the Trades Union Conférence, the Com mittee 011 Credential« reported as to the delegates who were entitled to seats, and all were admitted anil the report adopted. Committees on Permanent Organization and Rulesand Regulations were appointe«!, and the former reported John McBride for Chairman, and P. J. Mdîuire and John Kirchner as Secretaries. Chairman McBride sjjoke of the conflict ing opinions existing among the members of the Conference and asked them to so conduct the discus cussion as to create no animosities. All grievances should lie covered up and noth ing done but that which would result in good to the varioiM organizations who* membership was represented in the con lerencc. A large number of letters were read by the Secretary, the first FROM PUESIDENT SVK IHK, of the amalgamated association. He re gretted that his organization was not rep resented,but said if the resolutions adopted were not of a free trade nature the amalga mated might participate in future conven tions. He enclosed articles from a Pitts burgh labor paper regarding the formation of K. of L. Lodges among iron workers and the objections that had been entered to them. N timet ou h letters of regrets were re id. nearly all being of the same teuor. and H. H. I.ane, of the New IJaTen, Conn.. Trades Council urçjed independent political action as the great remedy for labor troubles. I "resident R. Rubier.» of the Cuban Federation of Cigar Makers urged that only Representative* of Trades Unions be allowed to participate in the conference. Hugh Mcfireg, of New York, urged that the foundation be laid for pop ular economies, education and declared that TUE K. or L. HAD EXPLODED like a meteor, that its growth was ac cident, and its mistake had been in mixed assemblies. Federation be elaitqçd was the necessity of tftfe -ge. Presi dent Frank Koney, of the federated trades of the Pacific Coast asserted in a lengthy letter of advice that federation was the only recommendation for Labor. He advocated one aft Of laws for all Trades Unions. FIBLSÛ THE EEFOHTEBH. Secretary McGaire made a motion next that the press be excluded from the ses sion of the conference. This point was discussed the greater part of the after noon, being present^. m its various phase« and finally the motion was agreed to by a vote of 18 to 10. The adoption of the motion created considerable ill feeling and suggested the inquiry on the part of a delegate whether those delegates who represented papers, and were making reporta for the same should be allowed to r«main. the Secretary suggested tbat all who could show craàentiab of membership in any Trades Union should be al lowed on the floor. The re porters began to present working cards and other certificates of membership ' // ' ' seeing which the President suggested the nation adopted would not probably ex clude any one. It was finally agreed to admit all members of trade« unions as vis itors except newspaper reporters. Some discussion was had on the formation af a NATIONAL TKADE AND LABOE UNION all expressions being favorable to any plan having that object in view. F. F. Daily and W. H. Martin, of Massachusetts rep resenting the New England Shoe lister's Union, were admitted on their credentials but there was a spirited dis cussion over receiving the credentials of (îeorge ti. Black, of the New York Stereotypere Union. Mr. Wright claimed they were not entitled to the Typographical union. He said in re ply to a question that be would not set type to be stereotyped by this union. He was informed that all Nt-w York union printers did this and the credentials of Mr. Black were received. All resolutions were handed to the Com mittee on Kesolutious, without leading. Several of them referred to the statutes of Trades Unions and the K. of 1^ The convention then adjourned to 9 A.

I ^trUni livuU« H»t wm Um CtMMWMtln and Soeialitt Wingt of the Central Labur t'nion. New York, December —Serious trou ble has arise« ia the Central Labor l'uion, resulting from the strong socialistic ele ment iu that hotly, and it looks as if there would 1» limiterons withdrawals of trade* aud labor organization*. Re ports from an authentic source have it that District Assembly No. 49, of the Kuiglit* of Labor, have conclud ed to withdraw all its delegates iroui the Central l^ahor Union because of the bitter and continued opposition of the socialistic to the conservative element. One of the officers of the Central l«iUir Uniou remarked to-day: "When tin Social 1st delegates want to do anything, they get off ina corner aud confer. Then they vote together. Take yesterday's action, for instance, on what they arc always calling the 'Capitalistic press.' A leading Socialist ( Jabliuowski I presented a resolution to the effect that no news should be given to the rejHirteiN of the daily newspapers except the Lender, the organ of the labor organization It was .voted down very promptly, as it should have Ixvn, by the conservative side and some of the delegate* who voted against it withdrew from the hall. They had scarcely gone away when the.Socialists got the 'tip'and the presenter of the reso lution moved a reconsideration. The mo tion prevailed and the resolution was passed by a minority of one.

I A) \ I *>N, [VtYmlirr K.— The gravent im portance is attachc«l by all continental writers to Von Moltke's reccnt speech. All the foreign correspondents say there is no other topic of conversation among diplo mats and politicians. "It Ls well under stood here," says the Timta' lierliu cor respondent "that the (ierrnan Government must ha\e special reasons for the anxiety with which they are watching the working of French feeling." The Berlin /W, lli-marck's or gan, declares that Iloulanger's plana are the extreme limit of what France can Ixtu in war times, destroying all peaceful occu pation, and they cau, then-lore, have but "onemoaning." "All partica," the writer adds, "calculate on wi\r as putting an eud to this stAte of things.
