No Clew Yet Obtained as to the Where abouts of HcGarigle, the Chi cago Boodler. A Watch Being Kept of All Lake Vessels to Prevent an Escape to Canada. Lynching in Arkansas cf a Man Charged With the Foulest of Crimes. The Hardin County Vendetta- A Pris oner Whom Nobody Seems to Want. Chicago, July 26.— T0-night an officer from Chicago, in pursuit of McGarrigle, reached Mackinaw island and is inaugu rating measures to prevent the fugitive from getting through the straits to Canada. It is understood that the sheriff is in communication with the* commander of the United States revenue cutter Andrew Johnson, at Milwaukee, and that the Federal gov ernment's only craft on the lakes will be utilized in the chase. To-morrow's Inter Ocean will state that McGarigle will not be safe in Canada, It is hinted that should he be once located the lack of extradition will not prevent his capture in secret by Ameri can officers and a hurried re turn to Chicago. Marine men are not inclined to the theory that ex-War den McGarigle made his escape on the lake Saturday night. The wind was blowing fresh from the northeast and very few vessels of any descrip tion left port until after daybreak.- Search through the harbor showed that all of the tugs regularly em ployed in towing vessels were either lying in the harbor or had gone out alter tows since breakfast time. The only craft that was missing was a fast little steamer yacht, which was launched about two weeks ago. lt is thought she LEFT THE HARBOR sometime Saturday, and possibly dur ing the evening. She arrived in Racine yesterday. If Me- Garrigle did take the water route to Canada, the chances are that after leaving home he made his way directly to the lake shore, where there is - a boat house. A couple of lusty fellows could easily have row el him out into the lake until he was in the pathway of ves sels leaving the harbor, an 1 even though no " previous arrangements had ■ been made almost any steam barge would have stopped to pick him up. The fact that telegrams have been sent to all ports to search vessels arriving from Chicago.it is thought, counts for little, as the masters of most of the class Of vessels he would have met with would put him ashore at any desired spot for a consideration. All sorts of theories are afloat, but nothing of any account has yet been learned. HARVEY'S FRAUDS. They Are More Widespread Than Was Supposed. WrLKESBABBK, Pa., July 25 — There is every reason to believe that Oscar J. Harvey's frauds on the government have extended further and in other di rections than has yet appeared. From developments which came to light in this section Saturday it is probable that he has done something in the fraudulent pension line. Acting as an attorney, he not long ago procured a pension for Mrs. Elizabeth Bronson, of Wyoming, a small village near here. The back pen sion amounted to 8723.87, and a few days ago a draft for this amount was made out by Gen. W. 11. 11. Davis, pension agent of Philadelphia, and forwarded under Harvey's direction to an address in this city, and was delivered to Miss E. Harvey, a sister of Oscar's, living at 47 Union street, to which place the letter was addressed. Yestttday Col. Birdseye, of Scranton, received a tele gram from Pension Commissioner Black instructing him to stop the payment of the draft. He came to this city and succeeded in tracing the draft, which had passed out of Miss Harvey's hands, and in getting possession of it before it was presented for -payment. He was seen by a - reporter yesterday, but de clined to say in whose hands he found the draft. lie did not know on what in formation Gen. Black -had issued the order to stop the payment of the draft, but supposed some evidence of fraud had been discovered. The matter will be thoroughly investigated. The Chicago Boodlers. Chicago, July 25.— escape of McGarigle gave fresh zest to the trial of the boodle commissioners to-day, and the jam of spectators was afforded the spectacle of two prominent contractors, moved by a hope of immunity, testify ing in detail how they and the twelve defendants had, month after month, robbed the county of thousands of dol lars. The contractors were Henry C. Clybouru, a gravel dealer, and William Kolze, a wealthy farmer who supplied milk to the various county institutions. In one instance Clybourn furnished about £12,000 worth of material for a road to the county insane asylum, and to obtain the contract expended over $7,000 among the defendants. The county eventually had to pay the 87,000. as Clybourn added that sum to his bill. Two station agents of the Mil waukee & St. Paul railroad were paid a couple of hundred dollars apiece to cer tify falsely in regard to the number of carloads delivered. Farmer Kolze, the milk contractor, was the person who engineered a petition for the road, and who afterward disbursed much of the bribe money, retaining $000 for himself. Mr. Kolze corroborated Clybourn, and also told how the milk contracts cost him about §2,500 to obtain, but in the end it all came out of the county's treasury. The testimony of both Cly bourn and Kolze was confirmed in nu merous particulars by other witnesses. Of the defendants the worst blackened by the day's evidence was the warden of the asylum, B. C. Varnell. Nobody "Wants Him. Special to the Globe. Boston, July 25.— Capt. Parry, of the steamship Bulgarian, at this part, said to-day when the steamer was one day out from Liverpool, a man who had Bhloped as a returning cattle man, under the name of George Gilbert, an nounced to Capt, Parry, in the pressense ©5 the chief and second officers that his name was John Potts and stated that he was a murderer, having slain his daugh ter, Mary Jane, in Liverpool. He was pit in irons immediately and so held until his arrival in Boston. The cap tain reported the matter to the British consul, It is the opinion of the British counsul that the man is insane and the consul declined to have anything to do with the case, as he claims it is not within his jurisdiction because the story told lacks confirmation. The alien commissioners has notified Capt.

His daughter, aged seven, is the victim. . Garrett's family say that another daugh ter has also been ruined by the brute, and the story as told by the neighbors is . most revolting. Garrett's . crime dates oack seven years. He kept his family, who were aware of the crime, cowed with a pistol, threatening to kill them if they ever told. After the' eldest daughter was discovered to be in a deli cate condition, Garrett carried letters to a young man in the neighborhood, ar ranging a series of compromising meet ings between him and the girl, so as to shift the responsibility off of his own shoulders. Bail was refused, and the grand jury will investigate the matter. Threats of lynching are being freely made. .-• A Guilty Couple. - ~S^y Cleveland, July 25.— James Gor ham and Mrs. James Deyey, of Spring field, Mass., were arrested by the police here to-day at the instance of Mrs. Gor ham.w ho charged that the couple eloped from Springfield last Wednesday. Gor was an engineer on the Boston & Al bany road, and Mrs. Dewey is the wife of a Springfield carpenter.

"Learn ing that they intended to go from here to Michigan this afternoon they were taken into custody. Both refuse to talk. ___;•" : Hardin County's Vendetta. llarkisburg, 111. .July 25— latest feature of the Hardin county vendetta is an anonymous notice in writing to County Judge Jacob Hess to leave that county. Similar notices were served upon Logan Belt and James I). Belt before they were assassinated. Iless is a brother-in-law to Radcliffe, who was with James J). Belt when the latter was assassinated, and who is one of the four defendants cleared in the Belt-Ham brink murder trial. Reports say that this notice to the county judge has caused great excitement, being con strued as a defiance of law, and that the fever heat is likely to cause more trouble before it subsides. ■ An Austrian Criminal. Special to the Globe. New York. July 25.— Filemon Zelew ski, who was arrested on board the in coming steamer Champagne Saturday night, charged with absconding with 151,725 gulden or florins ($75,0110) from the Austrian government, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Ly man to-day and remanded.

Duluth, Minn., July 25.— The Amer ican Institute of Mining Engineers have been in session here all day, convening at 9 o'clock and commencing active business by the reading of an interest ing paper by Vice President John Bir kinbine, of Philadelphia, on the "Resources of Lake Superior." Other papers were presented during the morning session and at 8:40 the entire party of delegates with a number of invited guest went to the dalles of the St. Louis river on a special train over the St. Paul & Duluth rail way. The visitors spent about an hour in Thompson and were loud in praise of the magnificent water power which that stream offers. The party returned to Duluth at 6:10 and in the evening a business meeting was held in the club house of the Duluth boat club. Add i tional papers were presented and read, and the meeting adjourned at a late hour. At the opening in the morning Mayor J. B.

The Irish National League Plnckily Faces the Situation and Refuses - to Give in. Liberal Gains Hade at the Expense of the Unionists and Their Con servative Allies. The Pope Defines the Relations of the Church to the Temporal Pow ers—Foreign Notes. By Cable to the Globe. Loxdox, July 25.— Orangemen are astounded at the proclamation of the whole of Ireland and are making all sorts of indignant protests against the government's action. The inclusion of Ulster was not thought of by the resi dents of that province, and it is pretty clear that the government originally had no intention of bringing that region within the scope of its proscription, but the Conservative party is very much afraid of English public opinion just now, and fear to take any risks. Had it been understood at the outset that Ulster would be treated the same as the rest of Ireland in the enforcement of the act it is doubtful whether any of the Tory Orange members, not excepting the fiery Maj. Saunderson. would have voted for the measure. Now, that the government has been compelled to ] make a show of impartiality, it may be expected that it will take active meas ures to enforce the law land display its sincerity, but it will be confined to the south of Ireland. THE ROMAN CHURCH. The Pope Defines Its Relations With Temporal Powers. Rome, July 25.— The Moniteur pub lishes the text of a letter addressed by the pope to Cardinal Rampolla on June 15, when the latter assumed the func tions of pontifical secretary of state. In this letter the pope explains fully the principles which he has followed in the government of the church. He declares that he took upon himself the mission to reconcile the peoples and the govern ments of civilized states. Referring first to Italy, the pope developes the ideas expounded in the consistory allo cution of May 28, when he laid down as a basis of pacification Italy's acknowl edgement of- the independence of the holy see. He reiterates his claims to territorial sovereignty as an indespensi ble condition of settlement, all other schemes, he says, being unworthy of consideration. Italy itself.says the pope, would reap the most splendid benefits at home and abroad from a settlement recognizing the pope's temporal power. Adverting next to Austria, the pope says that the piety of the emperor and the devotion of the empire to the holy see have rendered mutual relations the best possible, and the wise statesmen enjoying the confidence of the emperor have promoted religion in Austria- Hungary and the establishment of per fect concord. France, the elder daugh ter of the church, was menaced by seri ous evils. The pope trusted those evils would be dispelled through observations of the letter and spirit of the facts sol emnly concluded with the church. Turning to Spain, the pope says the first need is a union of Catholics in de fense of their religion, in devotion to the holy see and in reciprocal charity that Spain may not be misguided by personal aims. The relations between Spain and the papacy give assurance that the pope's solicitude for the interests of Catholics will be effectually rewarded both within Spain and in Spanish Amer ica, over whose people the Vatican exer cises watchful care. Regarding Prus sia, the pontiff says it is necessary to continue the work of religious peace making to its full achievement. Great things have been done. The well-dis posed mind of the emperor and the good intentions of his ministers, permit his holiness to cherish the hope that his efforts to ameliorate the condition of the church will not prove barren. The so licitude felt by the Vatican for Prussia extends equally to the other states of Germany, and those states are now hap pily seeking the - friendliest relations | with the Vatican. The pope concluded with a reference to fostering missions reading back to the church .her sepa rated people. _ . LIBERAL, GAINS. They Have Been Made at the Ex pense of the Majority. . By Cable to the Globe. Loxdox, July Political surprises have become so common of late that they fail to attract especial attention unless they display features of more than ordinary significance. The one now most talked about is the action of Lord Kensington, which indicates his return to the Gladstonian fold. Lord Kensington was a baron • in the Irish peerage, a member of parliament and an active Liberal whip. He was ele vated to the peerage of Great Britian by Mr. Gladstone. Just previous to the re tirement of the Liberal ministry and immediately after his transfer from the representative lobby to the house of lords he deserted the Liberal leader and went over into the Unionist camp. Now the Liberal peers have signed a protest against enforcement of the coercion bill and foremost among the number is Lord Kensington. This is equivalent to secession from the Union ist ranks and the fact that Lord Ken sington has virtually followed in the footsteps of George Otto Trevelyan, whose return to the Liberal party a few weeks ago was the first of the succes sion of heavy blows the Unionists have received, creates a profound sensation. The secession of Lord Kensington and the death of Mr. Verdin, Unionist mem ber for Northwich, coming as they do almost simltaneously, have aroused a feeling of consternation among the Unionists and the certainty that the Gladstonians will capture the vacant seat increases the conviction that the mills of the gods are running full time and that their hoppers are filled with Unionist grist. THE TORY PRESS • , i';^; are mating tremendous and stultifying efforts to mitigate the effect of the Con servative backdown on the land bill, which measure one of the papers de clares, was given to house merely as a sedative. They generally deny that the sudden cessation of the govern ment's plans has weakened the position of the minority, but in following their arguments upon this point are led into the admission that it never would have done to have presented the bill in such a form as would have provoked the hos tility of the Unionists, as such an oper ation would have been fatal to both the bill and the Conservative party. There is a strong suspicion that the govern ment has gone even further in . its sur render to the Unionists than the modifi cation of the land bill denotes. It is as serted that the preparation of the com SAINT PAUL, MINN., TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1887. ing land purchase „bill has been dele gated to - Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Hartington with the understanding that for the privilege of framing the bill in accord with Unionist views in the main the Unionist leaders distinctly PLEDGE THE SUPPORT . ; j of the dissident • members to the meas- . ure. The Tories are understood to be strongly of the opinion that such a com- . pact is not necessary to secure the pas saee of the bill. Prof. Tyndall publishes another anti-Gladstone letter, making the candidacy of Sir G. O. Trevelyan on the Liberal ticket for the Bridgeton di vision of Glasgow the occasion. In this letter Prof. Tyndall uses the following language: :■«: " -.. . -Something has been gained for the cause of healthy political action when Sir George Otto Trevely an. whose : presence hitherto • has been dry rot in the tissues of unionism, takes his proper place under his appropriate master. * * * * I must renew my solemn protest against the scattered loyalists of Ire land being handed over to the tender mercies of the Romish hierarchy and the Irish Na tional league. Were the necessity to arise I would be prepared to go beyond mere protest against so infamous a consummation. To what a pass have we come? Sir George Otto Trevelvau has abandoned the company of men of truth and honor to follow the for tunes of a hoary rhetorician, who sets at naught the plainest dictates of political morality. ; Glasgow, July 25.— Sir George O. Trevelyan. in an election address to day. said the Irish government should j not be allowed to appoint the judges j charged with the administration of the law, although theg overnment should be allowed to fix the number and salaries of the judges. - ; ■ } IN PARLIAMENT. The Rules Under Which the Crimes Act Has Been Applied to Ireland. London, July 25.— 1n the house of commons this evening Mr. Morley asked what had happened to explain the proc lamation of the whole of Ireland, since the government had assured the house that the law was as well obeyed in some parts of Ireland as in any part of Great Britain. Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, replied that be had no rea son to change his opinion that parts of Ireland were as quiet as parts of Eng land. What the government had done was not to apply the whole crimes act to Ireland generally, but only the sub-sec tions, dealing with unlawful assemblies i and the obstruction of police. Mr. Sex ton asked whether the executive, before* issuing the proclamations, distin guished the counties , where it was necessary to prevent crime from those where it was necessary to punish crime. Mr. Balfour said that in every; ease In which a county had been spe cially proclaimed the proclamation had been issued because the government believed in the actual existence of crime or intimidation. The house then went into committee on the land bill. Upon taking up the first clause, extend ing to leasers the benefits of the act of ISSI, Mr. Parnell proposed an amend ment. The bill as it stands gives the option to tenants or landlords to make application to the court to fix the rent. Mr. Parnell urged that the tenant alone should have the right to apply, the period of such application to be limited to three years. Mr. Balfour accepted the amendment with a limit of two years, Mr. Parnell agreeing. Mr. Parnell proposed to extend the operation of the clause to all leases, ex cept those in perpetuity. Mr. Cham berlain supported the proposal, but the government opposed it and it was nega tived by a vote of 191 to 142. A govern ment amendment extending the term to ninety-nine years was agreed upon. Eight Hundred Lives Lost. Sax Francisco, July 25.— The Pacific mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro ar rived last night, bringing Hong Kong advices to July 11 and Yokohama news of July 9. By the loss of the steamer Sir John Laurence in the Bay of Bengal 800 were lost, mainly pilgrims of the best families in Bengal. From the 21st to 20th of May a cyclone raged in the Bay of Bengal with disastrous results to shipping, and attended with great loss of life. The storm was the severest ex perienced in that Quarter since 1886, judging from the reports of vessels which "weathered it. The passengers on board the Sir John Laurence num bered 750, the officers and crew number-, ing fifty. The passengers were mainly women going on a pilgrimage to the famous temple of Jaganath, at Puni. There is scarcely a native family in Calcutta which does not bemoan the loss of a relative by the disaster.: : The Afghan Boundary. London, July 25.— The marquis of Salisbury in the house of lords this evening "announced the settlement of the frontier dispute between Russia and Afghanistan. The ameer, Lord Salis bury said, retained the district of Khamiab. Russia forgot to mention in her pro tocol several points on the western line, where disputes must arise later, and consequently leaves the question in danger of being reopened when it shall suit her to bring forward a pretext for moving troops nearer to Herat. Still, the government appears to be satisfied with the agreement, but the general opinion is that England has been bam boozled in the negotiations. The Unconquered League. Dublin, July 25.— A National league convention was held at Newry to-day. Sixty delegates and quite a large num ber of priests were present. Resolu tions were unanimously passed com mitting the league to the policy of treat ing as a leper any traitor who should testify in a court under the 'rimes act, ami declaring that if "the league were proclaimed its members would use every conceivable stratgaem to continue the meetings of the organization in fields, streets or houses at any hour of the night or at any other time when the holding of a meeting should be possible. Liberal Peers Protest. London, July 25.— A protest against the Irish crimes act amendment bill (the coersion bill) has been issued over the signatures of the Earl of Granville and twenty-eight Liberal peers includ ing the Earl of Rosebery, the Marquis of Ripon, the Earl of Kimberly and Earl Spencer. The protest denounces the act as a source of lasting irritation and hatred and mistrust of the law and de clares that the measure deprives Irish men of individual rights and creates and stimulates the growth of secret so-, cieties. , - . - Almost Wet Her Feet. London, July 25.— The Duchess of Edinburgh to-day launched a life boat at Bembridge, Isle of Wight. The ter- ■ porary staging on which the duchess and the members of her party stood col lapsed during the ceremony of launch ing. The Priucess Beatrice, wife of Prince Henry, of Battenberg, was pre cipitated towards the sea, and barely es caped being thrown into the water.

The delegation was ushered into the east room and in a few minutes . the ! president made his appearance. . Mayor Franc's immediately stepped to the front and "made me follow ad dress : Xs. » Mr. President: It was my fortune, sixty days ago, accompanied by twenty-five repre sentatives of St. Louis, to supplement and earnestly indorse, in behalf of the people of that city, an invitation previously extended to you to attend tne annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held iv the city of St. Louis during the last week of September next. The success of that mis sion in eliciting from you a favorable re sponse was highly " gratifying to the people of St. Louis and of Mis souri. The disappointment later consequent upon your letter of declination was deep and , all-prevailing, but coextensive with its senti ment and sincere approval of the patriotic motive which had prompted you to such ac tion. The citizens of St. Louis, irrespective of party, nationality or race, in a mass meet ing assembled the day after your letter was received, with one voice : ;- V • ENTHUSIASTICALLY RESOLVED to extend to yourself and your estimable wife a cordial invitation to visit their city during the first week of October next, and instructed their mayor, with a committee of fifty citi zens, to convey the same in person to you. Assemblages of like character were promptly held in almost every county in the state, en dorsing and emphasizing the action taken in st. Louis. Delegates were appointed at these meetings to proceed to the capitol of the ' nation and there to express to the chief executive, in a manner as effective as ■words and form ' would permit, the warmth of the greeting which awaits him from the people of Missouri, in the metropolis of their state. We are here, therefore, in obedi ence to the mandates of our people, repre senting all sections of Missouri, her commer cial, manufacturing and agricultural inter ests, and reflecting the desire of every city, iwwii and hamlet within her borders, to urge you and Mrs. Cleveland to favor us with your presence. This invitation emanates from the people, your sovereign and ours, and not from any organization, civil, military, polit ical or religious. It is the -:.._-. j . SPONTANEOUS OUTBURST ; of a community that never suffers its reputa tion for hospitality to be surpassed, lt is a : vigorous and feeling protest from a generous host against the absolute declaration of a distinguished guest to be the central figure of invited company. The reasons wily you should visit the West are even stronger now than on the former- "occasion, when your re ply Wits • a "favorable one, whether viewed from our standpoint^ or -'your own. Oat appearance before you in largely increased numbers, coming as we do, even from the most remote sections 1 of the state, furnishes some indication of the feeling prevailing at our homes. The people of the West revere the high office of chief magistrate of the nation and their loyalty and patriotism impel them to honor him" who fills that exalted position. Especially is it so when the man who fills it performs his duty with the wisdom, fearlessness and patriotism ,which characterize your administration. No organization, however strong, and no occur rence, however important, will be required to add interest to the occasion of your presence. The people of Missouri and of the West will congregate in vast numbers to meet and wel come you in the commercial center of the Mississippi valley. We have designated the first week in October as the time for your visit, because we thought that time would be most agreeable for you ; because it is the sea son when our fall festivities - are at their height; when - OUR TRADE PAGEANT gives its annual display; when the Veiled Prophet, surrounded with Oriental splendor, makes his autumnal visit; when our streets are briliantlv illuminated by arches of blaz ing light and on a scale of magnificence never approached; when our exposition and agricultural and mechanical fair, each the greatest of its kind on the continent, are in progress, and because, finally, it is a season when the sterling yeomanry of the land, the bulwark of the republic and the greatest contributor to its wealth, can, with least detriment to their agricultural interests, as semble in our city to do you honor. If, how ever, another time would be better suited to your inclination or engagements, your wel come would be more the less genuine. The city of St. Louis, the state of. Missouri, and the people of the West say to the president of the United States, '.'Honor us with your pres ence," and to Grover Cleveland, the honest, fearless man, who so ably fills that high office, "Come and be our guest." V£;,. THE INVITATION. At the conclusion of the address Mayor Francis presented an elaborately engraved invitation to the president, , which reads as follows : To Grover Cleveland, greetings: The peo ple of St. Louis, pursuant to a. resolution unanimously adopted at a public meeting held by them at the Merchants' exchange m said city July 8, 1887, and presided over by the mayor of the city, do respectfully and earnestly invite the president of the United States and Mrs. Cleveland to visit St. Louis as the guests of the city, for the week com mencing Oct. 2, 1887, "and in doing so they beg leave to urge on the president their de sire to give him a welcome that shall demon strate their love for him as a public officer , and a man. •'.'.

The presi-. dent,, also speaking extemporaneously, replied as follows: ' My reply to your very complimentary and hearty address will be very brief and practi cal. - At the time you did me the honor with so' man v of your fellow citizens to iuvite me to your city, I felt it was an invitation which should not be declined. I felt that you had something there of which you were deserv edly proud. You had a city and a loyalty there of which it was only right and just that you should wish the chief magistrate of the ; country to see and appreciate. Of this feel hie I have remarkable proof. It was not at all necessary to convince me of your good faith and sincerity that so many of your good people should come here at this inopportune season to: ■ bring this Invitation, .and yet you don't know how much it has pleased me to see you all. [Cheers.] The desire to come and see you has increased each day. I don't feel now that I can do otherwise than accept your in vitation.

The mayor replied: .--■■•■• The third day of the month, when the Veiled Prophet parade will occur, but if you cannot be there then I might communicate with the Veiled Prophet iv some way to post pone his visit as you have postponed yours. [Laughter and applause.] The mayor also enjoined the president not to forget to bring Mrs. Cleveland, and the president responded. "She will not let me forget her." The mem bers of the cabinet and their families were also included in the invitation. : The St. Louis delegation were so overjoyed with the result of their visit to the president to-day that they could not felicitate informally, but held a meeting at Williard's hotel to-night, gathering as early as 7 o'clock and made speeches and ,-:'.':" CONGRATULATED THEMSELVES " until a late hour to-night. In the ab sence of Mayor Francis,the chairman of the delegation, who, upon invitation, took dinner with the president and Mrs. Cleveland at Oakview, John S. Moffet presided over the meeting to-night. Lieut. Gov. Campbell and State Senator George Castlemau criticised severely the -efforts of the Grand Army of the Republic leaders to pre vent the president's visit to St. Louis. Mr. Castleman in criticising these ef forts referred to the unprincipled demagogues who endeavored to aid themselves by injuring others, but who had only afforded Missouri another op portunity to extend a hearty and un partisan invitation to a worthy chief magistrate of the nation. Numerous telegrams were sent by the delegation to mayors of the cities of Missouri and to others announcing the unqualified success of their mission to Washington. Some of the delegation go to New York by the late train to-night, but most of them will remain and visit Mount Vernon to-morrow, returning to St. Louis to-morrow night. It begins to look now as though Presi dent Cleveland will start the latter part of September for an extended tour in the Northwest, West and South. The Kansas City, Mo., delegation are ex pected here in a day or two with an elaborate invitation, signed by thou sands, urging the president's presence at their national agricultural exposition this fall. He will very probably accept this, now that he has promised to go to St. Louis, and, besides, will be pressed and urged to go as far in the Northwest as St. Paul. His presence in these cities is subordinated, as indicated in his response to the St. Louis men to-day, to a positive promise to be in Atlanta about the middle of October. THE KANSAS CITY CROWD. Kansas City, 1 Mo., July 25.— At 4 o'clock this afternoon the special train bearing the delegation which is to pre sent to President Cleveland the invita tion to visit Kansas City this fail, steamed out of the union depot for St. Louis. The train, which consisted of a special engine, baggage car, four Pull man sleepers and dining car, will run via the Missouri Pacific, Vandalia, Pan handle and Pennsylvania Central roads, and will reach Washington at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. If there is no ac cident the run will be the fastest ever made between Kansas City and Wash ington. The delegation, which numbers about 100 is a representative one, being composed of business men and manu facturers without respect to party, and is headed by Hon. G. H. Allen, presi dent of the board of trade, who with George F. Winter, will join the party at Columbus, O. Mr. Allen will deliver the address to the president. . Several j of the committee are accompanied- by their wives and daughters. The invita tion, which is beautifully illustrated, contains 21,000 names, which were ob tained in seven days by five young men. Although Mr. Allen, the chair man of the committee, is a Republican the delegation is in no sense political. It is a representation of Kansas City business life, and it would require a tally to determine whether Republicans or Democrats are in the majority. The St. Paul Parks. Special to the Globe. Washington, July 25.— fact that St. Paul is to have parks and boulevards is creditable to the city, but it will be well to be sure that the parks are parks, and not caricatures of the name. The best ..landscape gardeners allege that there is nothing so difficult in their busi ness as the making of parks and parking for the general public. "Boss" Shep herd, the man who made the city of Washington the most beautiful cosmop olis in the world, says that the park commission worried him more than any other branch of the district government. The governor is now an invalid, lying at his country home, Bleak House, six miles north of the city, and fast recu perating from the effects of his injuries and diseases acquired in Mexico. Frank Hatton Hedging. Special to the Globe. Washington, July 25.— Hon. Frank Hatton left the city on Sunday morning, after remaining here nearly a week. He denies that he is at enmity with Blame. He says: "I have never been a Blame man, and I did oppose his nomination in '70, 80 and '84, but lam not opposing him now. It looks as though he will be nominated, and it he is lam going to support him. That is the only thing for Republicans to do, and we all know that Blame is a strong man." Frankie seems to be hedging a wee little bit. Unlawful Fences. Washington, July 25.— The secretary of the interior to-day, in a letter to the attorney general, recommends that the several suits now pending against prominent cattle companies in New Mexico, for erecting and maintaining unlawful fences on the public domain, be discontinued upon payment by de fendants of all costs incidental thereto. This request is made upon the assur ance that the fences complained against have been removed. /;,.'. A SEA TELEPHONE. An Invention Said to Have Great i r ': Si Jyy Merit. . Cincinnati, July 25.— A young elec trician living near this city has nearly perfected a trumpet to be used for tele phoning at sea, on which he has been working for some months. The inven tion is the outgrowth of his discovery of the great distance inechoed or reverber ated sound will carry, and that speaking trumpets, if made to give the same fun damental note, would vibrate j and pro duce the phenomenon known in- acous tics as "sympathy." With this trumpet conversation in an ordinary tone of voice was carried on between persons four and a quarter miles apart. By listening to the whistle of a train, and tracing it to and beyond Fernbank to Lawrence burg, it was found that the instrument has a well defined range of twenty-six miles— that is, a loud sound like a loco motive whistle or the rumbling of 'a train can be distinctly heard at a dis tance of thirteen . miles in every direc tion. Conversation was readily carried on between two gentlemen on high hills on opposite sides of the Ohio river about four and a half miles apart. Tests made, on the water showed that the v trumpet, was even more available than on the land. ." The instrument will be patented . as soon as perfected. Died at Sea. . -'/• : New York, July 25.— Rev. W. E. Ward, of Nashville, Term.. died of. apo plexy on board the steamer Aurauia, from Liverpool for New York, the 20th. The body will be taken to Tennessee. s FLOODS IN NEW ENGLAND. The People of Massachusetts and the Adjacent States Very Nearly Drowned Oat. Washouts Reported in All Directions, and Railway Traffic Almost Com pletely Stopped. Mountain Streams Swollen to the Size of Rivers, and Large Tracts of Land Inundated. The Loss Heavy, But Beyond the Power of Being Estimated at Present —Other Casualties. □ Greenfield, Mass., July 25. Never before in its history has Miller's Falls experienced such damage by water as was occasioned by Sunday's freshets. Between the town and Erving, a dis tance of six miles, are twenty-five wash outs and eleven landslides by actual count. During Sunday's violent rain a torrent of water came rushing down the mountain road, just east of the Fitch burg depot, gullying it badly. In a short time the flat was buried under three feet of water. Just east of the passenger station is the freight depot. This the water totally undermined, TEARING A CHASM sixty feet wide and twelve feet deep through the gravelly soil. Passing un derneath the side track it dropped freight and coal cars into the chasm end up. The torrent rushed down the steep incline to the ijver 200 feet, tearing a gorge twenty reet deep and fifty feet wide, undermining the coal shed and shade trees in its passage. South of the Lake house is another gully ten feet deep and fifteen feet wide. On Sunday the Lake house was com pletely demolished by angry floods. A portion of the south end of the build ing is undermined. Sections of the Fitchburg railroad yard tracks are under mined in places quite badly. The high way .bridge at Northfield farms is washed away, and the highway bridges between Millers Falls and Ewing are all gone, so that travel by teams is im possible, on which account a transfer of passengers can't be made. The Ewing highway passing through the woods near the river on the flats is six feet under water, and the culvert over the ravine at the mouth of Miller's river is washed out twenty-five feet deep. All travel between Miller's Falls and North field is cut off. A prominent railroad man said this afternoon that if the rail road puts on its entire force of workmen it will •"-.; .:'•■':"•" TAKE FULLY TWO WEEKS before the road is anywhere near re paired. The sweeping away of the iron railroad bridge below here this morning further complicates matters. A report has just reached here that a stone dam at Erving . and I the Erving, mill dams have been washed away, but it is not yet confirmed. - A large number of Boston passengers are delayed at Mill er's Falls, unable to get- through, and are liable to remain several days unless the water subsides so that passage by team can be made around the scene of the disaster. Of the twenty-five wash outs mentioned, above,, either one is large enough to engulf a train, and it is a wonder ; that no fatalities have resulted. There is a general blockade of traffic both sides of Erving. About a mile and a half east of Miller's Falls station is a washout under the track thirty feet long and six feet deep. A mile beyond this, at the bank wall, the track is gullied a distance of 100 feet and forty feet deep. Between that point and the spot where the bridge went down morning are twenty-five other washouts ranging from ten to thirty feet in width by four to twenty feet in depth. Nidi's highway bridges are down and ail the roads badly washed. Harris' mill dam. Goddard's dams, Allen & Eben. Colliers' saw dam, in the vicinity of Erving are all washed away. Most of the damage on the railroad and highway was caused by the swelling of small mountain streams, which rushed from the hillsides, mad, racing torrents. A bridge near. Alden's pond is washed away and 200 feet of the highway is badly gullied. " NO TRAINS PASSED EAST of \ Greenfield to-day. '.'. A "waterspout struck the highway between. Greenfield and Lake Pleasant - Sunday, •tearing - a hole thirty feet long, four feet deep and ten; feet -wide. " The '- principal culverts on the highway between Montague and Montague City have '. been -washed out, seriously delaying travel, and all the hill towns have suffered severely. Al together these are the worst washouts that Franklin county has experienced in many years, and singularly enough they are all within a radius of six miles. No mails or papers got through from the East since Sunday morning. The Erving sectionmen say they hope to get the highways repaired sufficiently to transfer the mails tomorrow. The ticket office here has coniform ly stopped selling tickets to points east of this sta tion. Heavy stock trains have blocked the sidings here to-day awaiting trans portation. To-night long traing of cat tle, sheep and swine were transferred East via the Connecticut river road and Keen "..;;x v^; A DAM CARRIED AWAY. Dover, N. H., July 25.— A1l rivers in this part of the state are higher than ever known before in the summer. Freshets in Lamprey river, New Market, this morning, carried away a large por tion of the dam of the New Market Cot ton mills, also the foundation of No. 1 Picker mills. The loss cannot now be estimated. A dispatch from South Ber wick says that • five members of a fire engine company there, and horses haul ing a hand tub, en route to a fire Satur day night, were prostrated by lightning. The men were insensible for some time, and one of them had his foot burned. HALF A 'MILLION LOSS. Boston, July 25.— A Globe special from- Great ;Barrington says that the greatest damage by the storm was in the valleys of the Green and Black Grocery rivers, the major portion" of the flood passing down the . latter, river, causing great destruction on the New York side. Hillsdale Was the first victim of the overflow. "- Bridge after bridge was cast from its foundation with a force that crushed: staunch timbers and left them dancing ' and plunging in the eddies until cast upon the shore. The iron works of the Mallorys at this point became a target. The foundry of the concern on the west side of the Black Grocery - river, however, withstood the shock- and managed to hold together, yet its foundation - was badly damaged, as was also : a large amount of valuable : machinery and stock. - Half a dozen employes, who worked bravely -to save a part of * the contents, had a narrow escape with their lives, they being ; submerged almost to their necks atone time. A big bridge spanned the stream at this point in front of the foundry, and after vigorously withstanding the : force ar rayed against it began to crumble at its eastern"end, where the water surged; 'over and cut under the - massive : stone work. The abutment was completely GLEAN, BRIGHT, NEWSY, |§g is THE POLICY OF THE XJX JL XI JJi GLOBE! Its Reading Matter is Fresh, Its Makeup Attractive.

A NARROW ESCAPE. , \ Port Jervis, N. J., July 25.— At 7:30 last night a washout occurred son one road near here. The coast track ,was carried away just as a train loaded j .with cheese was - passing. Twenty-one •-S cars were totally wrecked. The engine and several cars passed safely. -; DAMAGE AT CONCORD.

To-day it again seems in danger of * being lost, as the Merrimac river has risen nine feet since yesterday noon and is still rising. THE MOHAWK VALLEY. Canajoharie, N. V., July 25.— heaviest rainstorm for the time of dura tion in years visited the Mohawk valley to-day. : Growing grass was washed down and roadways were washed out. •' I Stone cellars are flooded and creeks are greatly swollen. AT RANG OR. ■'.'."■ Bangor, Me., July 24.— A heavy rain storm since Saturday up to to-night has resulted in serious washouts on the Maine Central road between Vassalboro S, and Burnham. Five washouts are re ported. The Pullman train for Boston _% is cancelled. ' A Mine Disaster. Wilkesrarre, Pa., July 25.—An other terrible disaster occurred 'at 7 ~ o'clock this morning, in the fatal No. 1 slope of the Susquehanna Coal com pany at Nanticoke, whereby three lives were probably sacrificed— Anthony Braoki, George Phillips and Edward B. Loeber. A blast exploded an accumu lation of fire damp that knocked the three men against the ragged sides of the chamber, mutilating their bodies in a horrible manner and burning them frightfully. When carried to the surface the blackened flesh of the three unfor tunate miners hung in strips from their bodies. Four of Loeber's brothers were killed in the great disaster in the same mine in December, 1885, and are num. :■ bered among the twenty-six whose bones " are still entombed in the fatal chamber that has never been reached. A Powder Mill Explosion. Thomaston, Me., July 25.— The War ren powder mill blew up this morning , at 8 o'clock. They had started up the Kernelling mill, in which were thirty kegs of powder three minutes previous to the explosion. George Shepperd,aged - • thirty, workman, was killed, being lit erally torn to pieces. The same mill was blown up six months ago. — - Horses Cremated. . . .; New YoKK,jJuly 25.— fire broke out at 5 o'clock this morning in buildings 43 to 49, West Thirteenth street, in which 100 horses were stabled, and 48 of them were burned to death.

He was well to do and had a daughter named Maud, who, while not extremely beautiful, was well educated. The Stockraisers' bank contained nearly all Smart's money, and when it failed in . March, 1870, Miller was ruined. His daughter obtained employment <in a large dry goods store in Sydney and supported him. A young- man named Hart became very attentive to Maud, and proposed marriage, but she had al- ' had already given her heart 1 to Arthur Wellesley, a graduate of the university of Sydney. Arthur was Jre markably handsome and of a famous family. His father was second cousin to the present Duke of Wellington, and was directly related to the hero of Waterloo. The father had made a for tune sheep-raising. Arthur proposed . marriage to Maud, but his family opposed it. . Then the lovers eloped and went to _s Tasmania, where they lived happily for ■ two years, being - supported by remit- . tances from Arthur's mother. Then it was learned in Sydney that they had , not been married, and the young man . " was formally disinherited aud the sup- • plies cut off. A child had lieen-born to them whom they named Garnet. Wolse le'y, after the general. They determined to come to America, and Arthur, being - finely educated, had no doubt that he would get on. They came by the way of Liverpool, taking passage from theie on the ill-fated Ore- -.. gon. Arriving in New York the young man sought employment, but being of a taciturn, rather secretive, nature made W_ no friends and lost one situation < after " another. Finally when almost in '.want they came to Boston,' spending the last of their money for railroad fare. Young ;.' Wellesley tried hard to get remunerative "yy work, and finally, to keep himself and family from starving, he took a place as cook in a miserable place -on Bennet street. Another child had come and they lived in squalid quarters. The young woman had of late become dis pirited and seemed disgusted at her lot. Last night when Welieslley went home, after working all day,he found this note from Maud: Do not follow me. I have gone to New York and am to be married to John Hart. ' God bless you. '■:'.,. - " ' • She had taken the two children and • many of the keepsakes they had re- ' SS tamed through misfortunes.
