PRICE FIVE CENTS Current Events Transpiring at the Na tional Capital. A Book for the Benefit of “Hy|wcrlte*>nd Morel Cowerdu”—An Official Altogether Too Sennltlve fior Ererj-.Bay Politics-Secretary Bayaril *ml Mexican Halations. Washington, September 16.—The Critic remises a sensation shortly. It states u at Gen. Thomas J. Brady, ex-assistant postmaster-general, who is residing on a 600-acre farm some sixty miles down the Potomac, Is writing the inside history of the Btar route episode and of the Florida election frand in 1876. Gen. Brady was one of the “visiting statesmen” in Florida, and it is assumed that his statement of the true inwardness of that period of political strategy will create a considerable sensa tion even at this late day. But his revela tion of the full inside history of the star route episode will be most interesting. It is said there is already consternation among certain persons who have hitherto escaped public gaze in connection with the celebrated star route investigation and court proceedings. The general came up to the city yesterday, and in answer to in quiries about his forthcoming book, said : “I propose to place several alleged statesmen and others in the public pillow in order that their fellow-citizens may see them in their true light. Some pe'ople posing before the public as moral saints with a ‘holier than thou’ cast of counte nance. I shall impale upon the points of their own corruption. I shall embellish my book with fac simile autograph letters and jnemoranda which will speak for them selves; in short, it will give the true inside history of the Florida election roturns.of 1876, and of the star route investigation and trials with all the collateral incidents, congressional and otherwise connected therewith. I have shielded a lot of hypocrites and moral cowards long enough, and there is nothing left for me to do but to publish the true iiiside history of these events. They may say of me, as was said of Rousseau’s private memoirs, ‘It is mighty interesting reading, but he was a fool to publish them.’ I can’t help what, anybody may say, it is my time now to speak out, and I shall do so fully and fear lessly.” And the-general’s jaw shut firm, indica ting his determination was irrevocable. The publication of the general’s book is likely to create an earthquake in some quarters, and likely to shake up quite a number of public men. A SENSITIVE~SECRETARY. It Vimse* Ills Sou to Lose it Put Jolt In Govern mental Oireles. Washington, September 16.—Mr. J. M. Thompson, a young man from the south, who has been in business in a cotton house in Memphis, and whose health was suffering in consequence of an uncongen ial climate, came to Washington a short time ago, and, desiring to enter the gov ernment service, he made application to the civil service commission to be exam ined as bookkeeper. He was examined and passed successfully, with a rating of eighty-flve. On Wednesday or Thursday last, Second Auditor Day, of the treasury department, made a requisition upon the civil service commissioners, as he needed a bookkeeper. Four names were sent to him, but of the four, after an examination of the papers of all, he selected Mr. Thompson in consequence of his excellence as a penman together with his ability* as a bookkeeper. On Thursday Secretary Fairchild, upon the recommen dation of Auditor Day, and without know ing that the candidate was related to Assistant Secretar* Thompson, appointed Mr. Thompson ft ". .*1100 clerkship, and he took service under the auditor in the Winder building. The next day Assistant Secretary Thompson, the father of the young man, who had been absent in Columbia, S. C., returned. He was met by his son, who gleefully imparted the news. AssistantSeeretary Thompson was thought ful, rather than dolightel. On Tuesday it was stated that l lie young man had decided, with his father’s approval, to ask to have the appointment revoked. The reason given was that the-supposition might go abroad that he secured his place through the exercise of his father’s official influence. When first Secretary Thompson was asked about the mutter he admitted that the facts were as stated, and that it was true he had counseled his son to decline the appointment. He had not advised him to resign because he doubted the hon esty of the examination and report, but because he did not wish to give the ene mies ofTSivil service reform any grounds upon which to assail the operation of the law. “I am for civil service reform and stronger in my advocacy of it since I have been in office than I was before, and I do no wish to afford anybody’ a chance to sus- S ect my devotion to it.” Auditor Day and ecretary Fuirchild, who selected the can didate and made the appointment, do not consider that Assistant Secretary Thomp son should discriminate for or against his son in such a manner and believe that as the young mau passed the examination on his merits and was chosen for his pro ficiency as a penman and bookkeeper he is entitled to hold his place. Stand* by Sedgwick. Washington, September 16.—Secretary- Bayard continues to stand by Sedgwick. He says he thinks it is only fair to wait and henr what Sedgwick has to say. It is easy enough, he added, to call a meeting ancl adopt resolutions on any subject, pro vided certain ends were sought to be ac complished. He could not say anything about the alleged meeting in Mexico, except what he had seen stated in the newspapers. Mr. Sedgwick, he added, is expected home in about a week, and will then speak for himself. The secretary savs thut there are two sides to every story, and he believes in giving every man a chance to be heard in his own defense. Mr. Sedgwick’s personal character, he thinks, has been assailed in a most shame ful manner. lie is a gentleman of intelli gence and courage and will be afforded every opportunity to answer the accusa tions which have been heaped upon him. Better Protection for Women. New York, September 16,—The Women’s National Temperance Union has drawn up a petition to congress urging that in view of the alarming increase of assaults upon women and young girls, the legal age of consent be raised, as is prom ised in the bill now before the senate, to eighteen years. The legal age of consent in Delaware is seven years. In this state i it has only recently been raised to six- teen. There are 200,000 women represent ing every state and territory* in 1 he coun try now enrolled in the- union. It is not decided yet whether the petition will be g resented at one time, or whether it will ; e sent in by each state and territory sep arately, but it will be presented early in ; the coming session of congress. Another Almshouse Keandii. Waltham, Mass., September 16.—The notorious Tewksbury almshouse scandal gives promise of repetition in this town, r or several days there has been a suspicion that something was wrong with the Waltham alraBhouse, as the city physician’s report did not appear in the joint report of the various city departments. A copy has Anally leaked out, though every effort has been made to suppress it, and it shows a bad state of affairs. It states that conva lescents are obliged to stay in the same room in which there are patients with cases of contagious disease, and that the inmates are frequently left in the room where patients have died, while the bodies are allowed to remain without any enre or attention for hours. The contents of this report are just getting noised around town and there is great excitement. NULL AND VOID. Tlmt I* IVlint the Supreme Court 8fty« of i School Art. Staunton, Va.,September 16.—The Vir ginia supreme court ot appeals, sitting here, rendered an opinion to dav involving the constitutionality of a joint resolution passed by the general assembly oi Virginia on April 26, 1886, relating to the appoint- | ment of county superintendents of public ; schools. The court declares the act rc- I pugnantto the state constitution and null ‘ and void, and the action of the j board of education taken under it null and void and of no avail. Peremptory mandamus is or- ] dered requiring defendant Miller, who ; had been appointed county superintendent i for Smythe county under resolution, to re store office books, papers, etc., to C. W. Pendleton, superintendent displaced. This decision covers all school superintendents in the state who had been removed by the board of education. CHARLESTON SHAKEN AGAIN. Wnrkof The kelieTUunimittee—Fund* Finning 111 Freely. Charleston, September 16.—There was an earthquake shock yesterday morning about 1 o’clock unaccompanied by any great rumbling or detonation, ancl was only noticed by a few persons. Possibly a light shock occurred last night, but this is uncertain, as any vibration caused by pass ing vehicles or .pulling down of walls are apt to be regarded as caused by an earth quake. There has not been a shock in some days worth reporting. The relief committee has issued over a thousand forms of application for assist ance in rebuilding or repairing houses. At tention has recentlj* been directed to the character of mortar used,consisting largely of yellow sand, and the city council will probably take action on the subject to prevent any Buddensick disasters in the hurry of rebuilding. Contribution for Charleston. Montgomery, Ala., September 16.—A contribution of citizens ot Montgomery, amounting to .*1100, was to-day forwarded to Charleston. A sum aggregating several hundred more had been sent previously to to the churches. CAMERON’S CONTRIBUTION. Charleston, 8. O., September 10.—Ex- Senat.ov Simon Cameron, in a letter con veying *1000 into the relief fund, says : “I always associate your city and state with my recollections of your groat statesman, Mr. Calhoun, who occupied so command ing a position in the senate and before the country at my first entrance upon public life, more than forty years ago. He received me in the senate with the greatest of kindness, and during the remainder of his life I was permitted not only to show with others admiration of his singular simplicity, elevation and dignity of char acter, but also to experience almost daily some proof of his personal consideration and regard. It naturally gives me pleas ure. therefore, to associate my recollection of him with this contribution towards re lief of citizens of the state he loved so well.” The fund for the relief now reaches *309,- 118.

St. Louis, September 16.—A special from i Huntsville, Mo., soys: Mine No. 3, the largest in this vicinity, after being idle more than five months, has just reopened on the co-operative plan. The miners are to have the use of the company’s machinery and to pay the latter a royalty of one cent per bushel, retaining for division among themselves the remainder of the profits. Miner*’ Convention. Indianapolis, September 16.—The na tional di.#riet assembly of miners and mine laborers of the United States began its first annual convention iiere yesterday. They represent a membership of 30,000. The order was organized in St. Louis last May, being that branch of Knights of Labor who are miners. Business has been confined so far to appointment of commit tees on laws, grievances, state of order, districting aud nuance. Standing Iji to Hie Knights. Augusta, Ga., September 16.—The Knights of Labor have received over £10,000 to date, sufficient, it is reported, to j pay off debts contracted by the hands of , the Augusta factory for the last ten weeks, j No money has yet been received for the hands in other mills, but Secretary Turner | from headquarters in Philadelphia writes , that tiie knights will take care of Augusta operatives, and they will not return to ■ work until I lie mills advance wages fifteen 1 per cent. He declines now to submit mat ters to arbitration, as offers heretofore made ha, e been rejected. llgi toward Russia is growing because Russia is endeavoring to attenuate, if not to deny, the promises made by her to the prince in person regarding the unification of Bulga ria and Eastern Roumelia on the one baud and the independence of Bulgaria on the other. The Russian representative at Sofia declared that the appointment of the regency was in no wise lawful, inasmuch as the prince had no authority to establish the same. A reconciliation could only be effected if the right of appointing all Bulgarian officers be vested in the ezar. Tliis latter proposal created an exceeding ly unfavorable impression, and is cnlcu- lated to intensify the already existing spirit of opposition. A perplexing situation. The Metropolitan, Clemdht, yesterday unfurled the flags which hud been pre sented by tiie prince of Eastern Roumelian trooos as a sign of the union with Bulgaria. The action of the Metropolitan was a source of displeasure to the more patriotic, as the regency had not invited Clement, but another' bishop, to consecrate the colors. To the astonishment of all, how ever, Clement appeared at the festive scene, and the ministry of war, in order to avoid all cause for scandal, had the weak ness not to order his departure. Tiie measures to be taken relative to tiie possessions of the prince are contained in three paragraphs: (1! All the movable and immovable goods belonging to tile prince shnll be purchased bv the state; (2> the minister of finance shall, with the consent of the prince’s assignees, be authorized to determine upon the purchase price; (3) the agreement shall (hen bo ratified by the ministerial council and thus legalized. The adoption of these measures is assured. The council of ministers to-day confirm ed the boundary regulations agreed upon with Roumauia. bootlicking the bear. Sofia, September 16.—In the subrange to-day it was resolved, after much opposi tion, to send a telegram to the czar saying that the Bulgarians would pray the Al mighty to grant him along and happy life, ana laving at tiie czar’s feet the devotion and fidelity of the Bulgarian people. The hope is also expressed that tiie friendly re lations between Bulgaria and Russia will be resumed, and that the ezar will de fend the. Bulgarians in their aspirations for union and independence. After a heated discussion the expression “defend Bulgarians” was substituted for “protect Bulgarians” ns originally drafted. The sum of f20,000 was voted to defray Prince Alexander’s traveling expenses. Germany. BERLIN BESIEGED. Berlin, September 16.—The bundeirath has agreed to prolong the minor state of siege of the city of Berlin. Ireland. TO THE WORK HOUSE. Dublin, September 16.—The United Ireland suggests that in view of the prob able rejection of Purnell's land bill, all dis tressed tenants in Ireland resort to the work house. While it is disgraceful, says the United Ireland, to enter the work house us a loafer, it would be in the high est degree honorable to occupy the work house us an encampment against land lordism. THE IRISH ARB INDEPENDENT. Dublin, September 16.—The corpora tion of Dublin, by a vote of twenty-seven to six, has rejected the motion to present . ail address to the new lord-lieutenant of j Ireland onMIie ground that lie represents 1 a governniMit opposed to the restoration j of the Irish parliament. Purnell's Rill. London, September 16.—Purnellite members of parliament at an informal ! meeting to-day, agreed to abate their ob- 1 structive tactics after full debate on a vote for Irish police and permit the govern ment to conclude consideration of esti mates. The object of this decision is to enable Parnell’s land bill to reach a second reading on Monday. The plan of the government is to pass an appropriation bill also before allowing a division to be taken oil the Parnell bill. The govern ment whips will mustoras many members as possible and it is thought tlmt the attend ance of the conservatives will be larger than at any time since the opening of the session. No special call lias been issued for Gladstonian members, eighty of whom have paired. Gladstone will speak in the house Tuesday. At the opening of the next session the government intends to introduce new rules of procedure to prevent obstruction of business. ON CHANGE. Columbia and Btart on Saturday evening. They have engaged a train of nine sleep ing ears, commissary oar, baggage and smoking car over the Pennsylvania ruil- road and will visit Chicago before their re turn. Their train will be in charge of Sir Knight Robert A. Parke, of Columbia oommaiidery, of Washington, and their programme calls for complete subsistence en route on the train with exception of breakfast at the Logan house,at the foot of the Alleghany mountains, Sunday morn ing. The delegation will leave St. Louis after a parade of the Flamtio battalion on Friday, the 24th inst., reaching Chicago about noon Friday, and remain there until Saturday afternoon, reaching Washington Sunday evening. u.c LYNCHING A LUNATIC. A (Ttl/.en of Piedmont, West Vlrglnift. Ilnnned from u llridue for Committing an Unprovoked Murder, Piedmont, W. Va., September 16.—One of the most, horrible tragedies in the his tory of this community was enacted in Westernport, just across the river from here, to-day, resulting in the death of one man and the subsequent lynching of another. While Edward White was going ojiis dinner lie was met by David John son, who leveled a gun at him and fired two charges into his head, killing him instantly. The shot took effect in the left side of the head, liiakinga horrible wound, from which the brains oozed out. Johnson was al once arrested and placed in tiie lockup for safe keeping until he could be taken to Cumberland ana confined in Jail. The news of the murder soon spread, and the excitement became intense. All after noon groups of men moved restlessly about, discussing the affair, until about 8 o’clock, when n crowd moved upon the lockup and took Johnson from it and lynched bun by hanging him to a bridge which crosses George's creek near tile lookup. The mo tive for tiie murder is not definitely known. It is attributed by some to a grudge held by Johnson against White, ami by others to Johnson’s insanity. Johnson had for some time been acting as if his mind was somewhat unbalanced, and many bold to the idea that lie was insane, lie hud been a resident of this place for a time, and was respected and well thought of. lie wus about fifty-live years of ago and loaves a large family. Edward White, his victim, was a highly respected citizen, and his death lias east a deep gloom upon ills friends and neighbors, lie was about forty years of age, and. leaves a wife and seven e hildron.

Mr. Jay Gould and Mrs. Gould, George’s two brothers, Edward and Howard, and his twb sisters and Mrs. Kingdon, the bride’s mother, were tiie only persons present lit. the ceremony. Mr. Jay Gould and young George, with his bride-elect and Mrs. Kingdomd sailed up the Hudson to Irvington on the Ala- lanta in the afternoon. The parlors had been prettily adorned with flowers from the conservatories. The bride was mar ried in a black silk walking dress mid her mother was similarly dressed. Both wore very fine solitaire diamond earrings. After the ceremony the little pnrty had dinner. At 7:30 the family carriage drew up to the door, and the young couple—the bridegroom is 24 years old and l lie bride is 22 got into it with Mrs. Kingdon. Pleas ant good-bys were said, and young George and ills bride and Mih. Kingdon reached the depot in tlino to lake the 7:. r >0 train to New York. Half of tho village turned out to see the bridal parly leave the sta tion. They spoke of young Mrs. Gould's beauty and of her Husband’s happy de meanor. The bride is considerably taller than her husband. Young George smiled nil tho way from Irvington to New York and shook hands heartily with a Bun re porter and told him about the wedding. Mrs. Kingdon sat by herself and let the yollng folks onjoy their ride. A carriage met tiie little party at the Grand Central depot and drove them to Mr. Gould’s city home at 579 Fifth avenue. Young Mr. Gould and his bride will to-day run out of town for a few days. The bride was born| in Boston. Her father died in tlmt city when slm was a child, and her mother" came to Brooklyn and married a lawyer, who died a year or two later, leaving only Blender means of support to his wife and her daughter. Mrs. Kfngdon’s brother, Mr. Maughan Carter, is a druggist in this city, with stores at Fourth avenue and Fifty-ninth street and 1201 Ninth avenue. Miss Edith was well educated, and had an inclination for act ing. She ill ado her first public effort in amateur performance : in Brooklyn, where her mother continued to liye. Miss Edith was a member oi' tho Gilbert and several other of the Brooklyn dramatic clubs. She was leading lady in tiie Gilbert, of which Frederick O. Nelson is prosidentand Robt. C.

His time has been devoted to his father’s family circle, to his San Domingo mnhogany desk In the Western Unkin building, and to frequent visits to the theatres. He is a fair boxer and fencer, but two years ago, when he was initiated as a member of the stock exchange and hustled around, he ran the gauntlet with hands down and took his punishment like a brick. He seldom appears on the Stock Exchange nowadays, but when he does the brokers like him for his quiet and unostentatious manners. Tho brokers call him “Kid” Gould. In his leisure moments in the last year he has become a proficient telegraph operator, and now ho spends an hour a day practic ing on a key in his office. Edward F.

A party playing “Youth” had been smii out from tiie Boston theatre by Tompkins ti. Hill. In this region they lost their heroine through secession. The manager in charge was Frederick Stinson, oni < husband of the handsome actress, Sadi- Martinet, and he mentioned the need of a new recruit to Fraser Coulter, nti actor, who hapnened to have .seen Miss Kingdo: perform. “And she is aboard this craft, too," said Coulter, for they were crossing the East river. It was late ui night. Stinson was introduced to her. She Accepted on came He ing the v He understood that she had left Mr. Daly’s company because young Mr. Gould had sent for her. He knew that Mr. Daly was sorry to have her go, but ho could not, un der the circumstances, prevent her from returning to America before the tour of his company was ended. Mr. Rice said-that Miss Kingdon had had ns much success abroad as Miss Rehan, the lendingjictress of the Daly company. Several English newspapers lind awarded Miss Kingdon more praise than they had bestowed upon Miss Rehan. NICKEL PLATE COLLISION. The Knglnerr Write* ft Letter Kvlionrrating lliiu- seir.

The responsibility for the dis aster has been settled, as nearly ns possible, pending full inves tigation. Engineer Brewer has not yet been found, but a letter from him ad dressed to the editor appeared in this morning’s Express. The letter bore no date, and the post mark on tho envelope was that used by tile clerk on the Lake Shore train. In it lie says: “I see that it is reported I ran away for fear tiie blame would bo put on me for that terrible accident at Silver Creek, i have not run away, nor do I intend to, but in jumping Irom my engine 1 hurt my back and hip, and ns J was unable to assist 1 left the wreck; but in regard to my stopping at Silver Creek, I did stop and took on pas- sengers.

Parties at Sil ver Crock assert that Harrington signalled Brewer to go ahead, but that he did so on the supposition that the engineer had no orders to the contrary. There hav ing been no orders given to cither of them at Silver Creek. Railroad officials state positively tlmt.
