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. Congressional Nominations. Washington, Oct B.— Congressional nominations were made to-day as follows; Gen. J. L. Nulling, rep., from the Fourth California district; James W.

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. Bancroft’* QOth Birthday. New York, Oct.

New York, Oct. 3.—There were very 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 the reading of the last pnper on the list, “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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bud of a Sensational Breach of Pro mtse Suit—Wronged Mlsa Husaboe Given $3,000 Damages Against Par- 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 Plymouth Congrega iotml church, came in 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 court, but the evidence given has stunned them, and in oase the young man does not voluntarily withdraw from the pastorate of the church his resignation will bo per emptorily demanded. STORY OF Tint CRIME. Roberts graduated at Yale. He met Miss Husaboe at New liaven in 1884, woood, won ami betrayed her, and when she demanded immediate marriage to comjxMisate for her shame ho suggested a criminal operation, which she Dually consented to. While she wus recovering "from this he fled to Wales, whither she followed him. There he re newed his promise to marry her, which had boon given in America, and both returned to tho United State’. After further complications Huberts absolutely refused to fulfill his promito, and a criminal esse was instituted against him which was never pressed. Roberts’ attorneys made overtures for a settlement and once offered SI,OOO to that end, but Miss Husaboe would not oonsider 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. It is ohargod that while in New Haven Miss Husab e was employed as domestic by Ole Dull, the violinist. At the tri ll it was insinuated that she masqueraded under the name of Anderson in Madison, Wis., 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.

I DAILT.ftO A TfcAR. I •j 5 CENTS A OOPY. > I WgKKLY, *1.05 A YEAR. ) 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. KNOXVILLE'S REUNION. Preparations for Entertaining th* Multitude of Guest® expected.
