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.

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,-

Miner*’ Convention.
Indianapolis, September 16.—The na

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,

No money has yet been received for the

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.

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.

They have engaged a train of nine sleep
ing ears, commissary oar, baggage and

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

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

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

very fine solitaire diamond earrings.
After the ceremony the little pnrty had
dinner. At 7:30 the family carriage drew

out to see the bridal parly leave the sta

beauty and of her Husband’s happy de

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

The bride was born| in Boston. Her

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

If the above statement is true it relieves
those in charge of tho freight train and the
train dispatcher from responsibility, and
places ii solely upon Conductor Harring

Brewer to go ahead, but that he did so
on the supposition that the engineer
had no orders to the contrary. There hav

at Silver Creek. Railroad officials state
positively tlmt. Browers’ orders were to

Reading One Grent Feature of the D»).
New York, September 16.—Reading
was one great feature in to-day’s stock
market, business in that stock being one-
flftb of the entire amount done. Many ru
mor. were afloat in regard to tlmt proper
ty. The only excitement in the market
was furnished by that stock. Jersey Cen
tral was materially helped by stories
about Rending, and it was announced i
that it was receiving large remittances !
from tho latter|company. There was consid- I
erabie trading in Louisville and Nashville,
Union Pacific and Pacific Mail, which were
notably strong. Outside of tiie Htoeks i
mentioned, however, fluctuations were I
small and dealings of little interest.
The opening was comparatively quiet, |
though firm. There was some heaviness j
apparent in the early trading, but this up- :
peared before 11 o’clock, after which prices [
moved up slowly but steadily throughout |
the remainder of the day. In the after- |
noon the market, however, was dull and
unrelieved by any feature. There was |
more strength displayed in the last hour ,
than any time during the day. The mar
ket closed quiet but strong at the highest
figures reached. Sales 266,000 shares.

“Hu is young and strong and capable,

drops them,” Mr. Huge said, “while I
have no one to come after me.”
Young George is short uml dark-eyed,und
his hair and short mustache are jet black.
His skin has an olive or bronze tinge. His
voice is modulated almost, to softness, and
in business life lie is as quiet and reserved
as Ii is father. He dresses neatly and gen-
j erally in dark clothes. Like his father he
wears no jewelry except atiny gold thread
for a watch chain. He preferred experi
ence in his father’s office to college life.
His vacations can be numbered on his
fingers since lie determined to tread the
pathway his father had laid out for him.
