These boys intend to start out to-morrow morning with a subscription list for themselves as thej' find it difficult to maintain themselves on the pay of 2 cents a message.

An ample supply of a solution of corrosive sublimate is Kept on hand at the corner of Forsyth and New uan streets. Applicants are supplied with the solution and directions for its use upon application. OVERCOATS COMFORTABLE. For several nights overcoats have proved comfortable to those who have been weak ened by the prevailing disease, and to-night is almost cool enough to mako ouo dream of hoar frost and snow storms. For three or four days past the resident physicians have found time for some rest, and to-day even the medical bureau was a rather quiet place, the calls for doctors being comparatively few. Dr. C. J. Ken worthy, the city health officer, said to-day that the epidemic which seems to have gone out to the suburbs is rapidly abating, and there is much lass sickness in the outlying wards than was the case a week ago. RESOLUTIONS ON DR. EDDY’S DEATH. The medical staff of visiting and home physicians assembled this afternoon at the headquarters in the Barrs block to adopt suitable resolutions on the death of their as sociate, Dr. L. T. Eddy.

T. Eddy of Louisville; and Whereas, We admire the grand, noble and self-sacrificing impulse to which he responded so cheerfully and quickly, and the tireless charity with which he labored, the absolute forgetfulness of self in exposing himself con stantly to a deadly pestilence: and Whereas, There was no thought of reward of ever so faint a shadow for the Christian fight in which he fell, be it Resolved, That we mourn for our dead hero, and the stricken of Jacksonville have lost a faithful and fearless champion and we an hon ored counselor aud an invaluable friend: and be it Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions he sent to his family, to the press of his native city and the public at large.

REFUGEES RETURNING. This measure is taken on account of the return of a number of people whose cour age had revived. For ten days no iuaii matter lias been permitted to leave Jack son, so none of the anxious inquiries re ceived have been answered except by tele graph.

Generally throughout the gulf states the weather was faiv able for cotton picking an i seeding wl,it. A light frost fell in the northern portion of the gulf states, over the tobacco region of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia and the middle Atlantic and New England states, which will probably result in some damage to growing crops, but warnings of these frosts wore issued to the threatened sections in time to enable those receiving them to secure the greater portion of the tobacco crop not previously cut.

One of tho Bodies Horribly Mutilated —One of the Crimes Committed Be neath the Rooms of a Crowded So cialistic Club, and Not a Sound Heard. London, Sept. 30.—This morning the whole city was astounded by the startling news that two more murders had been added to the list of mysterious crimes that have recently been committed iu White chapel. At an early hour this morning another woman was murdered and a report was also current that there was still another victim. This report proved true. The two victims, as in former cases, were dissolute women of the poorer class. ROBBERY NOT THE MOTIVE. That the motive of the murderer was not robbery is shown by the fact that no at tempt was made to despoil the bodies. The first murder occurred in a narrow court, off Banters street, at an early hour this morning, beneath tho window s of the Foreigners’ Socialistic Club. A concert was in progress, and many members of the club were present, but no sound was heard from the victim. The same process was fol lowed as in the other coses. HOW SHE WAS KILLED. The woman had been seized by the throat, her cries choked and tho murderer with one sweeping cut had severed her throat from car to ear. A club man on entering the court stum bled over the body which was lying only two yards from the street. A stream of warm blood was flowing from the body into the gutter. The murderer had evidently been disturbed before he had time to muti late his victim. THE SECOND CRIME. “The second murder was committed three quarters of an hour later in Mitre square,five minutes’ walk from the scene of the first crime. A policeman patrols tho square every ten minutes. The body of the unfortunate woman had been disem bowled, her throat cut and nose severed, the heart and lungs thrown aside, and the entrails twist and into the gaping wound around the neck. DIABOLICAL DEXTERITY. The incisions show that the work was done with the utmost haste. Pending the report of the doctors it is not known whether or not a portion of the vicera was taken away. The doctors, after a hasty ex amination of the body, said that they thought it must have taken about five minutes to complete the work of the mur derer, who then had plenty of time to escape the patrol. MITRE SQUARE. Mitre square, the scene of the second mur der is a thoroughfare. Many people pass through the square early Sunday morning on thoir vay to prepare for market in the notorious Petticoat lane. The publicity of the place adds to the boldness of the crime. The police, who have been severely ontl cisod in connection with the Whitechapel murders, are paralyzed by these latest crimes. ACTION OF THE POLICE. As soou as the news was received at police headquarters, a messenger was dis patched for Sir Charles Warrou, chief commissioner of police, who was calied out of bed, aud at once visited the scene of the murders. The inhabitants of Whitechaoel aro dis‘ mayed. The vigilance committees which were formed after the first crimes were committed, relaxed their efforts to capture the murderer. At several meetings hel lin Whitechapel to-night it was resolved to re sume the work of patrolling the streets in the districts in which tho murders occurred. The Berners street victim was Elizabeth Stride, a native of (Stockholm, who resided in a common lodging bouse. The name of the other victim is not known. In consequence of tho refusal of Home Secretary Mathews to offer a reward for the arrest of the murderer, the people of the east end Saturday petitioned the queen herself to authorize tue offering of a re ward. MASSACRE OF THE GERMANS. All Died with Their Faces to Their Savage Foeman. London, Oct. I.—Advices from Zanzibar say the Germans murdered at Quiloa died while nobly .defending themselves. A Ger man gunboat was present, but was unable to give assistance in the face of the thousands of armed natives lining the beach. The corpses of the murdered Germans wero terribly mutilated. LIVES SAVED AT LINDL An English guuboat saved the lives of the Gormans at Liudi. Tho Germans escaped from Mikindari half an hour before the arrival of the in surgents, who fired volleys at their dhow laden with thousands of pounds of gun powder. The entire wealthy community of British Indian subjects at Bagomoys left that place to-day terror-stricken, owing to a rumor that a desce..t upon that town by natives was imminent. DERAIL’ D BY A OOW A Brakeman Killed and Several Other Men Injured. Chattanooga, Sept. 30.—A freight train on the Cincinnati Southern railroad, south bound, struck a cow six miles south of Spring City at 10 o’clock this morning, and was thrown from the track badly wrecked.

The assets are about equal. CONGRESS’ LONG SESSION. All Previous Records Beaton bv Twenty-four Hours. Washington, Sept. 30.—When the two houses of congress are called to order at 12 o’clock to-morrow the session will have be come the longest by t wenty-four hours in An oilcan history. Tito longest preceding session was that of 18.50, the yenr of the Missouri compromi-e, which was adjourned at noon Sept. 80. Constructively the session of IStVS, following the impeachment proceedings against President Johnson was longer, adjournment sine die having taken plaoe Nov. 10, but, as a matter of fact, con gress tix>k a six weeks' recess from July 27, and never afterward had a quorum or at tempted to transact any business. The House of Representatives has not had a quorum for several weeks, but such busi ness ns could be done "by unanimous consent” has Iteon done, amt ns one of the mutual appropriation bills, the general deficiency, is still before the c mfurees of the two houses, It cannot yet be said that the year’s regular work for either house is finished. programme of the senate. The tariff bill will be reported to the Senate Tuesday or Wednesday of this week and is to lie taken up for debate on Monday of next week. The unfinished business of the Senate is the bill to forfeit tho unearned portion of tlie Northern Pacific land grant, upon which Senator Berry will to-morrow deliver a political speech defending the public land record of the democracy in answer to tho speech of Senator Plumb last week. It. is expected that Senator Dolph will also make a speech upon tho measure, after which it is likely to pass. Senator Chandler's resolution for an in vestigation of political methods in Lou isiana is likely to furnish the text for further political speaking during the week. The territorial admission bills aro still recognized os having certain rights of way, anti next to them c moderation of the Sher man bill is recognized as a possibility. Tho Senate, however, lias consistently dis regarded all its programmes for several weeks past, and nothing but purely political measures can be held to lie probable sub jects for debate during tho remainder of tho session. The sessions of the Hotiso of Representa tives will probably be sh .rt, and little busi ness of interest is likely to he transacted by that body during the present week. The general deficiency appropriation bill now in conferencs is expected to reach tho House Tuesday or Wednesday. AMERICAN BEER KINGS. Some of the Men Who Have Grown Rich Out efthe Amber Liquid. New York, Sept. 29.—The thirsty drinker who exchanges a simple nickel for the foaming goblet with which the modern beersoller serves bis patrons seldom realizes that be is contributing toward a series of fortunes so great as to already attract pub lic attention and to throw into tho shade the smaller accumulal ions of the more es teemed vocations. Yet this is far from ex pressing the true state of the case. The past thirty years have done much toward con verting the American people into a beer drinking nation, aud in so doing have ad ded to tho list of millionaires the names of at least forty lager beer brewors. Of these the pioneer is George Ehret, a rugged, solid, stolid and meth dical Ger man. To-day he is worth many millions, yet thirty-five years ago he was a poor boy Knowing but little of the English language and still less of business methods. His own description of his career applies to that of uearly all his rivals, and is an iuterestiug commentary upon tlie changes in American habits in the pa t three decades. “When I began business, the lager beer industry was in its infancy. It grow but little at the outset, but receiver! its first great impetus during the civil war. At first we lost mouev through trie dishonesty of retailors, as well as through their ill-luck. In the latter case we often advanced money to help them tide over their troubles, and to securo ourselves, took a chattel mortgage or bill of sale of tb saloon as collateral security for the loan. Before long we found that thoro was considerable profit in the practice and extended it in various ways. A cus tomer over whom you hold a mortgage can n>t defraud you of any largo amount and seldom will change his custom to another brewer. In some cases ho was too grateful to do the latter; in others, too fearful that you would foreclose without notice; in still others that he would ‘get into law’ or still further injure his credit. At any rate he seldom changed his brewer. The profit on beer bolng moderately large, the brewer so n found tha: he could save money by not charging interest on these secured loans, es pecially when small. This sooms paradoxi cal until you remember that a good cus tomer who could pay libs interest to a conser vative brewer, could easily borrow the amount of his debt an I iutere.t from some rival brewer who would gladly forego tlie interest ton times over for the profit of this retailer’s custom. In this wise these chattel mortgage loans soon became invest outs which paid no interest but secured profitable trade. They also e :abled the breaertodo something else. When a debtor proved dishonest, drunken or incapable, they en abled the brewer to foreclose, buy the placo and put it in charge of some abler man. There aro many places in New York an 1 other cities which nominally have belonged to a score of owners lieforo they became successful in the hands of the last, and yet, piacticaily, all that time they were owned by one brewer who paid neither rent nor other exiiensu, and who, above all, niff red little or uo loss no matter how great tue losses of his so-called customers." William Kramer is another plutocrat whoso wealth came lergely from lager, but in bis case from retailing and not from selling. He is a German by birth who en joyed no advantages in bis youth and came to this country to better his condition. Iu the fifties he started tlie Atlantic Garden, then a little saloon and cheap restaurant ou the Bowery, in part ership with Louis Hamprecht and Christian A. Goetz, hot i since deceased. At the start the three part ners alter ated betwoeii the positions of cashier, bartender, cook, wai or, scullion and cleaner. Their energy and goodfeliow sli pas well as their beer and good cooking soon made them popular a .and their husiuoss profitable. Tlie three men lnve toil their profits in improving, l-autifying and there after iu enlarging their place. With ouch step lu this direction came an men u n iu business and celubritv, until the pirtnera wero all comparatively wealthy and their place had become a favorite roeort for work ingmen and especially Gormans. In the seventies the partnership terminated, two members of the ilrtu desiring to enter new vooa ions. Kramer bought their interests for a very largo sum and remained iu per sonal chargo of the place, where be is still to be found every day. W. E. 8, Kales. Close of tho Pope’s Jubilee. Rome, Sept. 80.—Tho pope celebrated high mass for the dead in St. Peter’s to day to tolemnize the close of his jubilee. The congregation numbered 26,000 (jersonx, Admittance was by ticket. His holiness was given an enthusiastic reoeption, and was greeted with prolonged cries of "viva.” He appeared to be deeply moved. A GREAT CHAMPAGNE CONSUMER. A Police Justice Who Spends ft For tune for Wine Every Year. New Yokk, Sept. 29.—Among the 1 igr chanii'ngne drinkers iu New York one of the most prominent is Andrew J. White, the police justice aud politician, whose recent de fection fi 0111 the County democracy has been no of \he surprises in the present p litioal campaign in the metropolis. White, whom thenewspain'rs have only recently cared to mention by the familiar soubriquet of “Andy,” Is one of the characters of thii l>in town. Dickens or Thackeray woul l have delighted in his acquaintance, and would undoubtedly have made him im mortal. Ignorant, and without the slightest amount of culture, he is yot the boon com panion of some of our foremost citizen , and is reputed to have a larger personal following than any other politician iu New York. Iu acquiring his personal friends the champagne habit has assisted him U> a con s durable extent, although that is by no m ans his only hold upon them. It is White’s boast that he never drank a drop of whisky, and that ho has indulged iu malt liquors, brandy and ordinary wines only oc casionally. It is well known that his salary as police justice, SB,OOO a year, does not begin to c iver his ch impaguu bills for half that period. Tlie larger part of bis income is derived from the contr ct with the city for the dis posal of its dead horses and other offal. The day on which While opens less than a dozen quart bottles should be mark td with all the shades of red ill his calendar. lie has no particular brand apparently, hut the yellow-labeled Clicquot seams to bo his favorite. * His love for the gaseous fluid has led him into doing some curious things; for in st iiico: lio was sitting in one of the up town resorts at the time that Abram 8. Hewitt was elected mayor, and while the police wore writhing in one of their virtu ous spasms and were rigidly enforcing the excise law. Hupt. Murray was striving heroically to catch all offenders who kept their side doors open oil .Sundays, and de tectives iu citizous’ clothes were prowling about town with suspicious eyes. White would not forego his morning bath in champagne nevertheless. W ithin a few doors of the police court is a snloon which wields a power in the ward, a id to tuis White resorted every Sunday morning be fore ascending the bench and there drank a quart of’his favorite tipple. At that time arrests for violating the excise <law were frequent and lie invariably found a string of prisoners awaiting him when be assumed his judicial duties. The->e he hold strictly to account, those who could not furnish bail being sent to i risen. Wlien the court cl .sed he would once more wend his way to ;he saloon, this time in the company of •some of the lawyers that frequent the court. Usually the party numbered four or five, and they found s ats around a table in a private room. White did all the treating aud, if the capacity of his companions had been equal to his own, the quantity con sumed would have been enormous. As it wa, a case of quarts usually proved sufll eir.it.|l I his was before dinner. After a drive up the road behind a te%m of swift and handsome horses lie would betake him self to the Manhattan club, of which hois a member, and would invite two or three friends to as-ist him in disposing of dinner aud more champagne. The quantity would depend on tno size of the party and the tastes of the members. As long as any one else could stand it the wine flowed unceas ingly. I liavo soon White drink champagne with a small party of friends at the cafe of tho M rton house until my head grow dizzy counting the bottles. At an informal gathering in Harlem, where he is at home and whence he derives his political follow ing, he recently began one of bis champagne sprees, and he did not stop until lie Imd eighty quart bottles on his bill. Hi i fame a* a champagne drinker has become so g eat that several of tb > loading champagne houses have offered him tho same privilege they have extended to such social lights as Tom Howard and Ward McAllister and tho ex-King of Dudes, Evander B. Wall—.hat is, to drink as much as ho pluses free of cost, provided lie drinks their sjieciul bran is only. That is an opportunity extended only to tho man whose evprcsse i preference would influence a largo number of others. But White prefers to remain unhampered and to pay fur what he wants rather than to drink for nothing at the dictation of others. H.s entire income exceeds $60,000 a year and ho spends it all. He might tie a mill ionaire if tie had practiced the ordinary economy of rich men, but it is doubtful whether much would remain after his funeral expenses were settled if he were to die to-morrow. While the politicians are doubtful nb the result of his leaving his old poll! al affiliations, his standing as a consume, champagne cannot be affected. John Hob. A FLOUB MILL. IN FLAMES.

The Masterpieces of the Creator a Fa vorite Bible Simile—The Wind the Harnessed Steeds of the Biblical Vehicle of Vapor—The Blessings Dis tributed na It Rolls Along. Brooklyn, Sept. 80.—The hvran sung at the opening of the sorvi es in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning was: “Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Rord arise." After expounding appropriate passages of scripture, the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., took tlie text: Tsalm civ., 3: “Who maketh tho clouds bi3 chariot (” Dr. Tal mnge said: Brutes are constructed so as to look down. Those earthly creatures that tmve wings when they rim from the earth still look down, aud the eagle searches for mice in the grass and the raven for carcasses iu the field. Man alone is made to look up. To induce him to look up God make* tho sky a picture gallery, a Dusseldorf, n Louvre, a Luxembourg, a Vatican that eclipses all that. German, or French, or Italian art ever accomplished. But. God has failed so far to attract the attention of most of us by the scenery of the sky. Wo go into raptures over flowers in the soil, but have little or no appreciation of the “morning glories” that bloom on the wall of the sky at suurbe or the dahlias in tho clouds at sunset. We urn m echtaclos over a gobelin tapestry or a bridal veil of rare fabric, or a snowbank of exquisite curve, but see not at all, or see without emotion, the bridal veils of mist that cover the face of the Catskills, or the swaying upholstery around the couch of the dying day, or the snowbanks of vapor piled up iu the heavens. Aly text bids us to lift our chins three or four inches aud open the two telescopes which under the forehead are put on swivil easily turned upward, and see that the clouds nro not merely uninteresting signs of wet or dry weather, but that tboy are em broidered canopies of shade, that they are the conservatories of tho sky, that they are thrones of pomp, that they are crystalline liars, that tney are paintings in water color, that they are the angels of the mist, that they arc great cathedrals of light with broad aisles f raugelie feet to walk through aud bow at altars of amber and alabaster, that they are the mothers of the dew, that they are ladders for ascending and descend ing glories, Cotopaxis of belching flame, Niagaras or color, that they are the master pieces of tho J,ord God Almighty. The clouds are a favorite Bible simile and the sacred writers have made much use of thorn. After the deluge God hung on a cloud in concentric bands the colors of tho spectrum siying: “I do sot my bow in the oloud.” Asa in >untain is sometimes entire y hidden by the vapors, so, says God, “I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions.” David measured tho divine goodness and found it so high ho apostrophized: “ihy faithfulness reacbeth to the clou Is.” As sometimes there are thousands of fl ■eces of vapi rs scurrying across ti.e heaven*, so, says Isaiah, will be the convert* in the mil louuiutn “as clouds aud ns doves.” A* iu tho wet season no sooner does the sky clear than there copies anotbor obscuration, so, says Solomon, one ache or ailment of old folks has no more than gone than another pain comes “as clouds return in tho rain." A column of illumined cloud led the Israelites across tho wilderne s. Iu the book of Job, Elihu, watching the clouds, could not understand why they did not fall or why they did not all roll together, the laws ct evaporation and condensation then not be ing understood, m i he cried out “Dost thou know tho balancing of ha clouds?” When I read iny text it suggests to me that the clouds are the Creator’s equipage, and their whirling masses are the wheels, and tho tongue of the cloud is the pole of the ce lestial vehicle, ami the winds are the har nessed steeds, and God is the loyal occupant aid driver “who inuketh the clouds his chariot.” To understand the psalmist’s meaning in the text you must know that the chariot of old was sometimes a sculptured brilliancy nude out of ivory, so mime* of solid silver, and rolled on two wheels which were fastened to the axle oy stout pins, and the awful defeat of (Knomaui by Relops was caused by tlie f .ct that a traitorous charioteer had inserted u linch pin of wag instead of a linch pin of iron. All of the six hundred chariots of Pharaoh lost their linch pins in the Red sea, for the Bible says: “The Lord took off their wheels.” Lmk at ihe long flash of Solomon's fourteen huudred char iots, and the thirty thousand chariots of the Philistines. If you have ever visited the buildings where a king or queen keeps the coaches of s ate, as I have, you know that kings and queens have great varieties of turnout. The keeper tells you: “Tin* is the state carriage, and used only on great occasions.” “This is the coronation car nage. and in it ihe king rode on the day tie took the throne.” “Iu this the queen went to open parliament.” “This is the coach iu which the czar and the sultan rude on the occasion of their visit.” All costly and tes solated and e richer! and emblazoned are they, and when the driver takes the reins of the ten white burses in his hands, and a nid mounted tro< ps and bands in full force rounding the national air, the splendor sta. ta a id rolls on under arches en twined with banners, and amid the buaza of hundreds of thousands of spectators, the scene is memorable. But my text puts all, such occasions into insignificance, as it represents the km; of the universe coining to the dour of his paluce, and the gilded vapors of the heavens rolling up to bis feet, aud he, stepping in and taking the reins of the galloping winds in his band, stai tsin triumphal ride under the arches of sapphire, and over the atmospheric high ways ot opal and chrysolite, the clouds his chariot. My hearers, do not think that God belit tle! himself when he takessuch coovev aoce. Do you know that the cioudsaro among the most wondrous and msjestio thing* in the whole uuive s 1 Do you know that they are flying lakes and rivers and ooeansl God waved his hand over them and said: "Coma up higher!" and they obeyed the mandate. That cloud instead of being, ns it seems, a small gathering of vapor a lew yards ids anil high is really seven or eight miles across, and is a mountain, from its base to its top, fifteen thousand feet, eig teen thou sand (cut, twenty thousand feet, and cut through with ravines five thousand feet deep. No, David did not make a fragile or unwortoy representation of God in the text when ho spoke of the clouds as bit chariot. Bur a- ( suggested iu tho ca-e of nn earthly king, he lia> his morning cloud efia iot and his evening cloud chariot—the cloud oba iot iu which he rode down to Winai to open the law, and toe cloud chariot in which he rode down to Tabor to honor the gos(iel, and the cloud chariot in which ho will coma to judgment. 1 When he rides out in his morning chariot at tsis season, about Bo'clock, he puts olde!. coronets on tho dotuee of cities, and til vert the rivers, ami out of the dew makes a dia mond ring for the Anger of every grant blade, and bids good cheer ur invalids whu In the night said: "Would God it weif morning. ,r From this moruiug cloud cUur*
