Last evening was the regular meeting of the Jackson Democratic Association at Odeon Hall, | #24 strectand Pennsylvania avenue. Though it might be that there would not be a large attendance, many of the “dyed in the wool” democrats were present. Among the first to arrive were Messrs. J. W. Barker, Geo. E. Kirk, J. J. Peabody, Jesse Mann, T.¥, Noonan, Carl Wallach, T. A. Tolson, C. W. Pettit and | BR. E. L. White. The causes of the democratic defeat formed the theme of conversation, Some attributed it to one cause and some to another. Mr. White claimed that if all had Deen as true as the Jacksons’ the result would have been otherwise. Mr. James L. Norris. who had entered the | room with Mr. W. W. Kirby, closely fallowed by Dr. F. X. Dooley, said ‘Et was the false issue, the charge of free trade, that did the work.” Mr, Kirk said that “the largest major- ities were in the manufacturing districts.” Mr. Fred Kelly suggested that he had heard of @ place where the Ga te of a company were given tickets which could be distinguished from others, aud they were obliged to vote them. “Then they were slaves —white slaves,” re- marked Mr. T. V. Noonan. Mr. Norris re- marked that the election of Mr. Harrison was more than a mere defeat; it was a disaster—a step backward.” ‘The cause,” said one, ‘was that the republicans worked the protection racket and made farmers believe that they would keep out European cabbage and pota- toes, 60 a8 to keep up the prices here.” ‘THE BUSINESS DONE. At this point the association proceeded to business, Mr. Norris called the meeting to order, and Mr. R. E. L. White acted as secretary. Mr. G. E. Kirk reported from the committee on ar- | rangements for election night that they had performed their duty, und ‘40 far as he heard } the arrangements where highly complimented. Mr. White said that the Jacksons had been com- plimented on their arrangements, for they had given out the dispatches as received. aud were perfectly fair. The chairman (Mr. Norris) said that they all felt grateful to the committee. THE MISSIONARY COUNCIL. Great Episcopal mvention to be Held Here Next Week. An important Episcopal council will be held, as stated in Tax Stan, next Tuesday in Epiph- any church. It is known asthe General Mis- sionary Council. This body met for the first time last year in Philadelphia. Tho general eonvention, with its house of bishop; and its lower house of clerical and lay deputies, about 400 in number, is the “Board of Missions” of the Episcopal Church. But it meets only once in three years, and it is deomed desirable that there should be an annual meeting of a large body of bishops and others to keep a live inter- est in missions and to consult wisely for tho guidance of that intstest. With this end in view, the generat convention in 1886 established the “Missionary Council.” It comprises all the bishops of ‘this church, an equal resbyters, and an equal num! The bishops ere members ex-officio. ‘The presbyters and yey were nominated by @ joint committee of houses, and by vote in each house “appointed.” The whole num- Der of members is abgut.200. The local com- mittee of arrangements consist of the Rev. Dre. Elliott, Townsend, and Leonard, Mr. Wm. D. Baldwin, and Gen. E. D. Townsend, the latter having taken the place of Mr. C. M. Matthews, who, on account of sickness, was unable to act. Gen. Townsend is local the py missions. es one are arrangements for the en- ‘erlatamet of the distin, ied men who will be in the city at that time. They Will be entertained in private families. Bishop Will- ams, of Conneeticut, who is the senior bisho) by consectation, will preside over the council. He will be the guest of Rev. Dr. Leonard. Nearly every state and territory will be repre- sented, and it is expected that the total attend- ance will reach 150. Among the distinguished members of the council are the Rev. Drs. Dix, Huntington, Rainsford, Satterlee, Greer, Shij man. and Hoffman, of New York; Rev. Dr. Hall, of the diocese of Long Island; Rev. Drs. Me- Vickar, Davies, and Nichols, of the diocese of Pennsylvania; Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks, of Massachusetts; Rey. Drs, Eccleston and Hodges, of Maryland, and Rev. Dr. McKim, of Louis- iana; Mr, Lemuel Coffin, Cornelius Vanderbilt, A agent of Thanks were voted to the committee—Messrs. Kirk, Noonan, and Sardo. The subject of finances was discussed, and it was stated that while there are some outstand- ing bills, the aggregate is small, aud the asso- ciation is practically out of debt. The execu- tive committee was instructed to consider ar- rangements for the annual banquet on the 8th of January, ‘MB. NORRIS’ SPEECH. Mr. Norris addressed the association at some length on the result of the election. “In the first hours of disappointment,” he said, ‘and what seemed to be our national defeat, it is neither wise nor just to ourselves, nor our tra- ditions, nor to the great party throughout the country with which we are affiliated, for us to indulge in mere impulse of feeling or in ebul- Iitions of censure upon the management of the campaign. We have professed our belief in and devotion to the doctine and policy of the present democratic Administration, and in com- mon with our democratic brethren throughout the country$we have labored strenuously to maintain these doctrines and this policy. We still adhere to them even though a majority of the voters of the land may have for the time being rejected them under the pressure of all kinds of unfriendly influences and through much misrepresentation and many —— arguments sophistically, cun- ningly and ey acme by every known political instrumentality on the part of our opponents. They endeavored to force the people to the belief that the demo- cratic party favored free trade.

The proceedings in the council are those which usually take place ina deliberative body, and do not consist of formal addresses. The council will be opened, however, by a service on Tuesday morning in the Church of the Epiphany, at which Bishop Whipple. of Min- nesota, the senior bishop of the American Episcopate in the late conference at Lambeth, will preach. On the evening before a mission- ary meeting will be held in the same church, when addresses will be made by Bishop Tuttle. of Missouri; boreal of Minnesota, and Rev. Dr. E. A, Bradley, of Brooklyn, 'The council will probably continue in session Tues- day and Wednesday. During its sessions the bishops and other members meet in one body, and not in two separate houses, as in the gen- eral convention. On Thursday a meeting of the house of bishops will be held in St. John's Hall, on 16th street. But this meeting does not belong at all to the proceedings of the mi8sion- ary council. It is for the purpose of electing a successor to the late Geo. K, Dunlop, bishop of New Mexico. COLORED MISSIONS. While the mission work of the church, which will be considered by the conncil, comprises both the home and foreign fields, yet the work among the colored ern receive a good share of the attention of the members.

The members of this committee are as follows: Rt. Rev. Dr. Dudiey, bishop of Kentucky; Rt. Rev. Dr. Potter, bishop of New York; Rt. Rev. Dr. Randolph, assistant bishop of Virginia; Rt. Rev.

A party of Norway and Oxford ladies and gentiemen visited the ice caves of Greenwood Wednesday of this week. These natural curi- osities are abouta dozen in number, and are situated some three miles from the little vil- lage known as Greenwood City. It is a good road from Norway to within a quarter of mile of the caves, and we enjoyed every part of the way. The caverns are on land owned by Mr. Eben Wentworth, and the entrance to them is about two-thirds of the way up Mount Split, as he has named this elevation. It is rather a suggestive if not an appropriate designation. ‘The path to them lies through a heavily-wooded tract of land where there is no opportunity of seeing the surrounding country, and had it not been for Mr. Wentworth, who acted as guide, it bg er sag been difficult to have followed e trail Having rested, we moved up the mountain and soon reached the mouth of Walley's cave, one of the largest in the whole lot. It is a double-storied cavern, the lower chambers be- some 400 or 500 fect _in length and about en feet in width, The exit is at the top of the mountain. The upper chamber is very much smaller and is connected with the first by a passage e enough for half a dozen to Not ctueest’ Wide cave wee named by the te Dt. True, of Bethel, for Mr. Walley, of Boston, whose daughter was the first lady to pass through the entire length of the cavern. One of the caves is shaped like a well and is from twenty to thirty feet in dep:h. There are egular steps which wind around the sides to the bottom. Here are two chambers running in opposite directions, one of which leads nearly to Obwervation rock.’ It is called Snake pasuage, and to best through it one is obliged to crawi on hands and knees. The other chamber leads = into a cavern which is large and somewhat tri- angular, hat several chambers, one of which connects fell cave, The walls of this chamber rise upward some seventy-five feet or more. In one of the caves ice is to be seen ail the year round: Our torches produced a beautiful lasay surface of the ice and the cavern walls, enhanced ne et dark- our lights, There is an exit to the cavern on the other side of the mountain and one into Amphi- theater cave, ‘There are two great rifts in the mountain, one running cee on aeet 3 Whe ite direction. are great curiosi- and sentt Se srentioe of all eet acme © § tended at full upon it down from the rock into amphitheater be- ‘low, they were startled by the exclamation of faith, who was seated in tho “palpi,” « small wre et from tape, Nou don't now where you are!

His wife was, however, and she said that it was all nonsense to make such 9 fuss over a little plece of red calico which was nailed to @ pole by one of her children. The red rag, she added, was left over from the decorations used at the celebration of the ening of the new Free Bridge. Mra, Schoen- thal said she thought the whole matter was a piece of spite work on the of some one against her husband, who was no dynamiter of arnachist. “I certainly respect law and order,” she added, “and believe that the law should be more strict in its dealings with the anar- chistes.” annual AssoctaTED Cnazitize.—The regular meeting of the first subdivision of Associated Charities was held yesterday afternoon at the office of the secretary, 1218 Sist street, when the following officers were elected: President, F.

One of the most’ extraordinary things about St. Petersburg is the unevenness of the side- walks. It must surely be accounted for bya reaction against the prevailing flatness of Rus- sia, Even in leading thoroughfares the side- walks, instead of being made, as with us, 08 level as possible, abound in the most treacher- ous ups and downs, How drunken men survive a walk through the streets is to me an unsolved mystery. In Middleborough it used to be pro- fanely said that the Quakers, who laid out the town, purposely clevated the sidewalk a couple of feet above the roadway in some of the streets in order to break the necks of drank- ards. Possibly a similar benevolent motive prompted the constzuction of the trottoirs of the Russian capital. People get used to anything, and after 'a week in the city you be- come so acoustomed to the sudden shiftings of Bec as hardly to notice their existence. the same way you become accustomed to the dvornik, who sits dozing dutside the door of every public building or tenement house. At first nothing seems more monstrous than the resence of this sheepskin-clad mortal at the loor of your hotel, motionless and somnalent all through the night, but after a while you cease to notice him. He is supposed to be a substitute for police, and, as he survives the winter, he may be ‘supposed not to fecl the frosty nights of a Russian spring. The weather was extremely capricious during the early part of May. A bright warm sun in tho morning might be followed by piercing winds, with sleet and snow in the afternoon It was never safe to stir abroad without’ an overcoat. Natives admonished me solemnly, as if Thad been manifestly bent on suicide, because I left mine at home whenever the sun shone, Every one wore topcoat in St, Peters- burg till well into June. The ice in Lake Ladoga, I was told, was the great refrigerator of St. Petersburg. It was not till past mid- summer that summer could be said to have sct in on the Neva.

In an interview on the return of the repub- licans to power in the United States, Sir John Macdonald, the Canadian premier, said: “I have no reason to believe that the republicans are hostile to Canada, They favor a protective tariff not unlike our own, ‘There is no urgency in settling the fisheries question. The fishi season is over for this year, and operations wil not be resumed until next year. The treaty negotiated last year is dead. It was rejected by the United States Senate, not by the Cana- dians. Of course, if negotiations were ro- sumed 4 new treaty could be framed on the same terms, At any rate all the negotiations will have to be commenced anew, but I can’t | to forget that the Washington treaty of 1872 was negotiated by @ republican President, with » republican majority in the Senate. It is not, therefore, improbable that the republicans of 15s will exercise the same spirit that they did fore.” ee ae. A Remarkable Decision. From the Philadelphia Call. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania last week rendered a remarkable decision relative to the trials of persons charged with murder, It was decided that a disagreement of the jury in murder trials is equivalent to an acquittal, and that the accused person cannot be again arraigned for trial after ono jury has failed to agree. The ground for the decision is the Con- stitution, which says thata man cannot more than once be put in jeopardy of “life and limb,” The Supreme Court in its decision declares that the Constitution is very clear on the point raised. and this fact makes it remarkable that the point was never raised before. Many men have been tried for murder a second time, con- victed, and hanged, and it would be interesting to know how miany have been hanged uncon- stitutionally in Pennsylvania. The decision will have the effect of releasing several men who are now awaiting trial after juries in their first trials had disagreed. —20r Deraviten Axworriy's Davauter Maznrep. Joseph B.
