DESIGNS FOB MAIL BOXES.
Wanamakerte Scheme to Facilitate
Delivery of Mall Matter.
Washington, Oct. I—A commission
consi*'lngof Postmasters Van Cott of New
York, Corse of Boston and Harlow of St.
Louis were at the postofflce department to
day examining the samples of mail boxes
that have been submitted to the government
to be used in dwelling houses and business
houses for depositing the mail that the letter
carriers deliver daily. It will be remem
bered that the Postmaster General has been
for soma time insisting that in order to
facilitate the delivery of the mails there
should be letter boxes at the residences.
Nearly 50G samples of boxes have been
sent to the departmeut by persons aud firms
who are hopeful of securing the o intract
in the event of the adoption of the pro
posed plan. Most of the boxes so far exam
ined are comparatively worthless, but there
are some that will answer if the owners of
the designs can make them cheaply enough.
There is a box which is a Boston invention
that is provided with an electric bell whioh
will ri ig whenever the carrier drops
a letter or paper in the
box. If such a box is located
on the ground floor of a business building
ana a letter is deposited, the boll will
notify any one in the top story of the build
ing that the letter carrier has been there.
The owners of this design claim that they
can put these boxes in business buildings at
tbe rate of $5 each and $2 each for dwell
ings.
As the people will have to pay for the
boxes, it is the purpose of Mr. Wanamaker
to haye something adopted that will not
cost much money, but at the same time be
practicable and durable. Under tbe present
methods of delivering the mails in the cities
the carriers lose a great deal of time in hav
ing to ring the door bells at the dwelling
houses. An average of a minute is lost at
each house, and this is a great waste of time
in the cities of the first, second and third
classes.
UTAH’S PBOGBH3B.
The Governor's Annual Report Makes
a Good Showing.
Washington, Oct. B.—Arthur L. Thom
as, governor of Utah, in his annual report
places the population of Utah Territory on
the estimates of the census supervisor at
220,000, an increase in the decade of about
55 per cent. The foreign bom population
brought to the territory under Mormon
auspices was about 1,800 a year. The valua
tion of all property In Utah Territory for
1890 is $104,758,733, an increase of 100 per
ce it. The business prosperity, which com
menced about two years ag > and caused so
great an advance in values, the report says,
has continued to the present time.
status of mormonism.
Of Mormonism the report says nothing
has transpired during the last year to cause
a change in views. As to the Mormon
church’s attitude to polyganmy, the only
evidence attainable as to the position of the
church respecting polygimy has consisted
of statements given by two prominent
church officials in their examinations in
the proceeding* to recover church property
under the escheating provisions of the
Eduaunds-Tucker law, to the effect that the
church does not grant permits
to enter polygamy, and that polygamous
marriages do not now take place. When
tbair attention was called to a notorious
case they disclaimed all knowledge of it.
But admitting their statements to be true,
says the governor, it does not prove that
the church has met tbe public sentiment of
the nation as expressed in its laws, nor does
it prove what is more essential to know
that the church is loyal to law. There is no
reason to believe that any earthly power
can exact from the church any declaration
opposed to polygamy.
'The governor recommeids that the pub
lic lauds be turned over to the state as an
endowment for public schools or irrigating
works.

A CHURCH BOYCOTT.
A Bishop Forbids His Communicants
to Patronize a Church Publication.
Cleveland, Oct. 3.— Bishop Richard
Gilmour, of this Catholio diocese, is out to
day with an older prohibiting the members
of his church from patronizing the Catholio
Knight, a weekly paper edited by J. J.
Grooves. The editor has been attacking the
bishop recently in a very savage maimer,
and the order is the result. In it the bishop
says ho reserves to himself the
right to absolve Joseph Greeves,
the editor of the Catholic Knight, and all
who in any way aid him, whether by being
employed by him as editors, writers, dis
tributors, or in any way whatever; also all
who subscribe to the paper, and all whi *
having paid their subscriptions, receive the*
paper, and also all who receive it free, or
who directly or Kdirectiy support or en
courage the paper, “or who in any way aid
or abet or encourage or counsel said Catho
lic Knight in its cou se of scandal and false
hood and contempt cf law and authority.’’
The order has created much excitement
among the Catholics.
PLEASURE BOAT BLOWN UP.
All Aboard Bescued With Only Blight
Injuries.
Peoria, 111., Oct. 3.-The steamer Golden
Eagle blew up yesterday. The Golden
Eagle is a small pleasure boat, and at the
time of the accident was making one of
her regular trips around the lake in front
of the city. The boat carried fifteen pas
senger*. every one of whom was rescued.
Only one or two persons received injuries,
and these were not serious.
Reports of cause of accident were inflict
ing, but the best authenticated is that a
break in the machinery caused it. A panic
ensued among the passengers, they crowd
ing together in a mad rush for safety, aud
the excursionists swamped the little craft
and she went to the bottom of the lake. The
accident happened a short distance from
shore, and those on terra flrrna put off to
render assistance. The ro-cuers succeeded
in saving the passengers and crew, although
several narrowly eecuped being drowned.

few people in Cbiokering hall st 10:30 o’clock
this morning when Sir James Kilson called to
order the third day’s session of the conven
tion of the British Iron aud Steel Institute.
There was no business to trausaot beyond

“Aluminum Steel,” by R. A. Hadfleld of
Sheffield, and presented copies to be dis
tributed.
Members of the institute who attended
the banquet last night, and other* who wit
nessed the unveiling of the Holley statne did
not feel like sitting tbe morning session
through; nevertheless, a number of English
men made an early tour through the eleo
trioal works of the oity. They started from
Pars Avenue hotel at 8 o’clock under the
guidance of 8. 8. Wheeler, expert
of the beard of electrical control,
and visited tbe offices of the tele
phone exchange in Oourtlandt street,
where the mysteries of the BWitch-board
were explained to them. Thence they went
to the Western Union building, after which
they took a tour to the branob work- of the
Brush Electric Light Company in Elizabeth
street and to the Edison works in Forty
sixth street. They also examined several of
the manholes in the subway system, tbe
workings of which were fully explained by
Mr. Wheeler. .
After the reading of Mr. Hadfleld’s paper

BEBD’B GATLING LUNG.
He Fires Off a Speech Bursting With
Brag and Bluster.
New Haven, Oonn., Oct. 3.—Speaker
Reed in a public speech here to
night said that the first session of
the Fiftieth congress two years ago was as
barren of results as the Democratic party
of the south is barren of wisdom. No man
in the vast audience could tell him the name
of a single result achieved by that session cf
congress. No man could remember
a single act which was passed,
or a single memorable deed.
It was a flat, apparent failure. The first
sessiou of the Fifty-first congress had just
expired, and it had been as fruitful of
results as tbe Laud of Canaan was found
to be by the spies sent in by
Joshua, aud this great work has
been achieved under an enormous dis
advantage. There never met in the balls of
corgrexs a minority so determined to thwart
tbe will of the people as that that had for its
head Mills of Texas when this congress met.
They bad determined we should have no
rules of action that did not satisfy
them. They had resolved that no bills
should pass that did not meet with their
approval and they stood intrenched behind
a century of customs which for the last ten
years had grown worse every minute of
time.
AN INDIAN MESSIAH.
Red Men All Agog Over His Predictions
—Tho Choctaw C ommisslon.
Fort Reno, L TANARUS., Oct. 3. —The Choctaw
commission arrived here to-day and on
Saturday will resume negotiations with the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians at New
Darling for the sale of their interest
in the Indian lands to the government.
Tbe Indians at present take no interest in
tbe commission’s visit. They are all agog
over stories of one of their number, who
has just returned from a visit to the Sioux
Indians, where he saw the Indian inessiah.
He says the inessiah told him all white
people and bad Indians would be destroyed
next summer in a flood of mud that through
which only good Indians would be able to
wriggle their way through to life and happi
ness.
IDAHO’S ELECTION.

Everything in Bight.
Boise City, Id., Oct. 3.—The republi
cans claim the election of Shoup for gover
nor and Sweet for congress by 1,800 ma

Bold Counterfeiter Caught.
Lafayette, La., Oct. 3.—Sheriff Brous
sard captured last evening after a desperate
and hard fought struggle a bold and success
ful counterfeiter of United States silver
coin. The prisoner, who gave his name as
D. 8. Campbell, alias Owen Del ley, rode in
town on horseback last evening late and
stopped at Constaine’s stable, whore he suc
ceeded In passing some bogus monev.
Campbell claims to be from Vermillion
parish. He denies having any molds, but

paris.
Prominent Abolitionhst Dead.

OKLAHOMA’S CAPITAL QUESTION,
Armed Men Take Poaeesslon of a
Legislative Chamber.
Guthrie, O. TANARUS., Oct 3.—The excitement
over the capital location, which reache 1 its
climax yesterday, continued today. After
the demonstration against tipoaker Daniels
and Messrs. Perry and Nesbitt lasi evening
had subsided, S. R. Mitchell, city attorney
of Oklahoma, who chanced to be in t iwn,
sent this telegram to one of bis friends at
home: “Your representatives were mobbed
on the street to day Bead 100 armed men.’
The armed men arrived on the tirst train
this morning and sheered teats of vantags
in the ball of the lower house bef.e-e the
body met. Pally twice as many friends of
the Guthrie measure, equally well armed,
wore also present. The feeling was intense.
NO ACTION TAKEN.
Speaker Daniels was suffering fr tn nerv
ous exhaustion caused by the exalting scenes
of which he was the center yesterday, and
did not preside. As soon as the'House
was called to order Representa
tive Terrill introduced a resolution
calling attention to the presence of
armed men in the chamber, declaring their
pre-enoe to be undesirable and directing the
sergeant-at-arms to eject all spectators,
newspaper men excepted. The resolution
was voted down by 20 to 60. Considering
tiie probability of a repetition of yester
day’s riotous scenes it was deemed advisable
to postpone until to-morrow furtner action
on the capital movement.
SPEAKER DANIELS PROSTRATED.
A reporter called to sue Speaker Daniels
to-day. Ho was uitorly prostrated and con
sented to interview against his physicians’
advice. He said: “I have stood by Okla
homa as long as 1 think I can. I signed the
bill under a misapprehension, and 1 have so
informed the governor.” The speaker was
very weak, but he summoned up strength
sufficient to write a communication to the
House, stating the foots in his interview.
He also framed a resolution, which will be
introduced to-morrow, providing for the
recall of the bill from the Senate. When
this resolution is presented a lively time is
expected.
The Oklahoma force is still here and its
motto is "Fair play for Oklahoma" The
Guthrie force is determined that its city
shall also have fair play, and is on hand to
see that Guthrie gets it.

Bon Roberts - A faithful Congregation
Shocked—The Evidence Complete.
Scranton, Pa., Oct. 8, —One of the most
sensational oases ever heard in the courts of
this (Lackawanna) county, ended to-day
when the jury iu the breach of |>roniiad case
of Annie Husaboe vs. Peter Heberts of the

with a verdict of 68,000 damages for the
woman. Thu oase has been fruitful of sur
prising developments, aud has created a
great sensation among the church-going
people of the oity. The deacons of
Pastor Roberts’ church clung to him
aud beliovod in him during the four years
in which tho case had been ponding in

them, and in oase the young man does not
voluntarily withdraw from the pastorate of

STORY OF Tint CRIME.

immediate marriage to comjxMisate for her
shame ho suggested a criminal operation,
which she Dually consented to. While she

and both returned to tho United
State’. After further complications

Roberts’ attorneys made overtures for a
settlement and once offered SI,OOO to that

it, although she onoo declared she would ac
cept S2OO a year. While these negotiations
wore in progress, Roberts married some
one else.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE).
When tho case carne to trial yesterday It
wns learned that Roberts was lu biding and
Miss Husaboe could not appear, owing to a
nervous attaok. The evidence for the
plaintiff was very damaging. Attorney 0.
K. Pitcher und Dr. Hand both testified that
Roberts confessed the botrayal, and I old of
his advising the core of a
midwife and his violation of his
promise to marry the woman. Letters
from Roberts to tho woman were produced.
In one he says: “I feel exceedingly glad
that you are safely through, but it roauires
great care for some time. It was hard, un
doubtedly, but tho beet thing to do.” He
ends the letter with the remark: “May the
blessing of heaven follow you." In another
letter he says; “If the world is to know
what was between me and you. It will he a
fall to throe others with myself."
It Is said Pastor Roberts deceived his
counsel as well as the woman and his church,
for they presented no testimony iu bis de
fense.
MISS husaboe's condcct.

aud that she brought a breach of promiso
suit there against Lars Jarda, and that
she was at one time an inmate
of the insane asylum. During the six years
of her residence here her oonduct has"been
singular. Sho has been a regular attendant
of Roberts’ church, has moaned and wept
iu her pew while be was preaching, and
and once seated horself beside his wlfs
proceeded to discuss ttie details of the scan
dal lu which shs was involved until like in
nocent wife fled from her presence.

Dublin, Ott. 3.—The hearing in tbe ease
of the government against Messrs. Diilon
and O’Brien and the other nationalists who
were arrested on the charge of conspiracy
was oontinued in the magistrates' ourt at

was elicited. In tbe o iurs* of the proceed
ings the question arose as to the time the
trials would occupy, and Mr. Honan, prose
cutor for the crown, declared that be was
entirely ignorant of the time it would take to
present the oas® for the govermu, nt, or for
the accused to make tocir defense. Mr.

he was in mortal fear lest the trial would

witnesses, a policeman, who testified that
ho followed so viral of the defendants into
the vestry of the Catholic church and tried
to overhear what was said there by them.
This testimony aroused tli i indignation of
the counsel for tho defendants, aud he de
manded to know if the days had returned
when sanctity of tha confessional could be
invaded. Tho court room became a babel
of rrles, and the confusion was so great
that the court was declared adjourned for
half an hour.

ness ’vascross-oxamined by Mr. Harrington,
who called the witness a “shadow.’’ A
magistrate called upon Mr. Harrington to
withdraw the expression. Mr. Harrington
refused to do so and was ordered to leave tho
court. A great uproar ensued, Messrs.
O’Brien and Dillon commenting freely upon
tho manner in which the out was con
ducted. Finally another half hour adjourn
ment was ordered.
AN ANGERED MAGISTRATE.

fend themselves when proceedings were re
sumed. Mr. Dillon has just begun to ad
dress the bench when a cheer was raised for
Mr. Harrington. This so exasperated the
magistrate that he ordorad the oourt
cleared, and proceedings were adjourned
abruptly amid tho greatest oonfusioo.
A large body of police was massed outside

TRADE PROSPECTS GOOD.
BUSINESS PHENOMENALLY AC
TIVE AT ALL POINTS.
Great Increase in Circulation for Sep
tember—Volume of Domestic Trade
Unprecedented - Iron Market Well
Sustained—Business Failures for the
Quarter Leee Than Laet Year.
New York, Ort. 3.—The weekly review
of R. G. Dun & Cos., says; Never before
lias there been in any month eo great an in
crease in the circulation, or so large a pay
ment of the public debt, as lu the month
just closed. Tlie aggregate circulation is
now $1,108,072,700, having Increased $02,-
0'(0,707 in (September. The mouey markets
In all parts of the country have turned to
greater esse.
Congress has adjournal after passing the
tariff bill, aud there are already active
preparations in many cities for new
branches of manufacture or enlarpeinent of
operations. The domestic trade is improv
ing in all directions, and at least for the
time there is also improvement in exports,
which now show for the i>ast mouth a gain
Of 7 jier cent, over last year at New York.
Even in regard to shortness of crops less
is hoard of late, and there is a growing
impression that the loss may have been to
some extent exaggerated.
ACriVB DOMKHTIO TRADE.
Oi tho magnitude of tho domestic trade It
appears that tho actual payments through
clearing houses outside of New York were
iu September lfi’-j per emit, greater than
last year. This is partly duo to higher
prices, for the general average of oommodi
tlus has risen 1 per cent, during tho past
week, and has been over 6 per cent, above
last year for the past month.
The earnings of railroads as far as re
ported for Hepternber show a gain over last
year of TANARUS% per cent, and the movement of
cattle and cotton is particularly heavy.
Hales of wool at Boston ojeeodod 1,0 JO,OOO
pounds last week. Hales of iron ore at
Cleveland thus far this year are 8,500,001
tons, exceeding lost years' to data by one
third.
ACCOUNTS FAVORABLE.
Accounts from nearly all cities continue
highly favorable. Boston nofes a healthy
ami onoournging trade In Now England,
Philadelphia reports mere oo ifldence and
much Improvement in wool. Chicago notes
a larger trade in dry goods than last year,
with prompt collections. St. Louis notes
unusual activity iu all lines. Cincinnati
reports very liberal orders for
clothing, a good trade in tobacco
at favorablo prices, and a heavy
movement of fruits and produce. Milwau
kee notes a very good trade. At Savannah
trade Is very brisk. At Bt. Paul and Min
noa|K)lis, Omana, Denver and Kansas City
it Is very good. At Detroit it is better thau
last year in some Hues. At Pittsburg trad)
is large in volume and strong In tune for
finished iron an glass, but less strong for
Sg iron and rails and for glare chimneys.
any works there are hurrying prepara
tions to turn oat tin plates.
IRON MARKET STRONG.
The Iron market is singularly sustained,
fn spite of unprecedented production, by an
unprecedented demand for plat s, bar, sheet
and wrought iron, which keeps all mills
crowded with work, while rafts are not
strong and pig iron remains unchanged. A
sharp advance lu tin oheed with prices nom
inally 24 cents, though tbe visible supply le
greater than a year ago.
Cotton and coffee have been unchanged
In price, with oil and h gs lower, but the
price of wheat advanced three-eighths of a
cent and corn one-fourth of a cent for the
week, with moderate sates, while oats de
clined 1% cents.
Liquidation iu silver depressed tho price
iu Loudon to 50 pence, but it has since risen
to 61){ pouce per ounce.
TRADE PHENOMENALLY ACTIVE.
Details given show that in all parts of tho
onuntry and in all important branches of
business there is phenomenal activity, and,
nevertheless, there is a comparative freedom
from speculative excitement or disturb
ance. In the stock market there has been
general liquidation, with somewhat lower
prices, but at no time any sign of that fever
ish excitement which threatens a panic, and
there it a prevalent feeling that after the
pressure for monetary supplies in moving
tbe crops and legitimate business has passed
more buying of securities will appear.
The general soundness of trade Is shown
by tha re|>orts of failures which for tbe
third quarter of 1800 are smaller iu number
anil amouut of liabilities than for the same
quarter of 1880, though in Canada they are
rather larger in both respects. Decrease in
number In tho United Htatee was small,
2,100 this year against 2,270 last year, but
tlie liabilities were but $55,432,486, against
$30,227,046 last year, showing a decrease la
the average for each firm failing.
The business failures of the week number
166, as compared with 172 for tbe corre
sponding week last year.
