BURKE HAS ANOTHER FRIGHT. He Would Probably Confess But for Fear of Being “Removed.” A telegram to the New York Herald from Chi- cago, Ill, August 10, says: Martin Burke has developed another fright, and has begged the jail ofticials to keep @ close watch over him and uot allow any suspicious characters in his vicin- ity. State Attorney Longenecker was asked this afternoon, “What seems to be the difficulty im securing @ confession from Burke?” “Simply this, that he is afraid of being mur- dered,” replied that official. “He shows very Plainly he considers that the danger of being murdered if he should confess is vastly greater than that of being hanged if he does not.” “How many witnesses are there to Burke's identity?” “At least seven.

Exciting Scene in the English House of Commons. (Cable Correspondence New York Sun. The scene in the house of commons on Thurs- day night. when Harrington made an effort to inflict personal chastisement upon Balfour, was the first event of that nature that had occurred since the memorable occasion when Plimsoll crossed the floor, shook his fist in the face of the occupants of the treasury bench and defied that august body tocombat. Perhaps Balfour does not realize how narrowly he escaped a thrashing and parliament a fearful scandal. ‘The wanton and deliberate insult to Harring- ton had inflamed every Irishman present, and the first blow that was struck would have been & signal for a conflict that might have involved the entire house of commons. Sexton had elready picked out his man in Col. Saunderson, whom he bade prepare to defend himself in a voice that was heard above the imploring shouts of the chairman and the din of the fac- tions, Healy was on his feet begging somebod to tread on his coat, and the rest of the Parnel- lites were beginning to turn back their wrist- bands when the badiy frightened Clara, as the members of paliament term the lackadaisical Irish secretary, hurriedly apologized. If Har- rington’s coat tails had been made of less strong material, or had Mahoney, who slid down the aisle holding them. been a stone or two lighter, the angry Irishman would have BAD BALFOUR BY THE TRROAT before he could have uttered his apology. So brutal was the affront to Harrington that not one of the journals, even of Ba:four’s own party, defends his conduct, All circumstances tended to heighten the insult. Harrington, who is a big rollicking Irishman, with a kind word for even his party enemies and not a bit of malice in his moral composition, has only re- cently finished a six months’ term in prison, whither he was sent at Baifour’s instance, and his pale, heavily-lined face bears witness to the suffermg he has undergone. Harrington will not talk to even his closest friends of the hu- miliation he was subjected to in prison, but it is known that the amouyt of his food was re- duced while he was preparing his defence for the Parnell commission, and that by Balfour's orders everything that was possible to break the prisoner's indomitable spirit was done dur- ing those terrible six months, BALFOUR STARTED THE STORM that tossed him by asserting in explaining the refusal of the notorious Rocne and Col. Turner to subscribe to a race meeting because Har- rington was one of the committee, that Har- Tington had written of the police in his news- paper, the Kerry Sentinel, as cowards, liars, and uniformed bloodhounds. It was not much of itself, because the Irish members do not hesitate te term the police cowards, ars, and blood- hounds, as they are; but im this instance, as it bas been in many others, the statement was a falsehood invented for the occasion, as the only means at hand whereby Balfour might excuse the rufiianly conduct of his allics. Conse- quently i rose and demanded to Know in what number of his paper the article had appeared. Balfour flippantly responded that he made the statement on the best anthority, and went on talking. Harrington interrupted Lim to demand what that best euthority was, andthe big Irishman’s voice trembled with suppressed passion. Balfour, without notici the question, went on with his address, an egsin Herrington thundered, “What is the authority?” Then Balfour, looking directly into the face of the man he hadso recently victimized and humiliated, made a gesture in- icative of such utter contempt and scorn, that Harrington completely lost control of himself, It was an imsult that cannot be described in words, but that was not less bitter. The tailor who put in the stitches that attach the skirts of Harrington's coat to the body of that garment is to be credited with having saved the house of commons from as pretty a row as ever was Witnessed ia a civilized legislature. —— eee = President Carnot and the Students. President Carnot yesterday received deputa- tions of American and English students study ing in Paris, who presented him with expres- sions of sympathy as the head of the republic.

Glasgow Special to New York Herald, it has been rumored in Greenock thet Mr. Harry North, the son of the “Nitrate King,” is negotiating for the purchase of the Thistle with a view of giving her another chance for the America’s cup. If the rumor correct Mr. North will have the call in the pick of Ciyde racing men, a they are convinced that the Thistle was not seen at her best at Sandy Hook, The designer of the Thistle, Wateon, has expressed the opinion that the Thistle’s lines are perfect and that ail she wants is « centerboard.

The chief and concluding event of the South- ampton royal yacht club regatta was sailed Saturday. The chief competitors were the Valkyrie, Yarana and Irex. A capital start was made, the Irex and Valkyrie crossing the line together. The Irex was in the lead when the Valkyrie went aground and was compelled to wait for the next tide, as all efforts to get her into deep water failed.

Norwalk, Conn., Dispatch to New York Herald. The information contained in the commani- cation to the State department at Washington from the secretary of the United States lega- tion at Santiago, Chile, of the death of Thos, B. Gunning of this place on May 27 by freezing in the mountains was verified in a letter re- ceived here by Mr. Davenport, an intimate friend of the Gunning family, from Frederick Seymour, of the law firm of Dill, Chandler & Seymour. Mr. Davenport, who is a member of Davenport & Leeds, the New York law firm, told me today that Gunning went from here to New York, thence to India and from there to South America, where he was frozen to death while crossing the Andes. Mr. Davenport is now taking steps to collect the life insurance that Gunning carried. Gunning first appeared in Norwalk about three years ago, when his extravagant notions filled the modest people of this locality with amazement. He married Miss Christine Lathrop, a niece of Senator Leland Stanford, the California millionaire, and it was apparent that he was assiduously trying to run through her fortune. He bought up several of the best farms at South Wilton, a suburb of Norwalk, at the owners’ prices, erected costly buildings for stables, tobacco store rooms, granaries, hen- neries, &c.; purchased the best stock in large numbers at fabulous prices, employed an army of farm hands and servants, carried into prac- tice the most extravagant and visionary ideas of modern agricultural theories and rode around in regal style. Queer stories were told of his eccentric notions before he came here, 4 FAMOUS BARBECUE. Some four years ago the newspapers gave graphic accounts of a gigantic barbecue that he gave near New Rochelle on election day, when he hired all the carriages, coaches and vehicles of every description and all the horses in the town to transport the guests to his place, where whole oxen were roasted and liquor ran like water. Heads of whisky barrels were knocked in and the contents dipped into cups, dippers, pails and whatever utensil: came handy. | Everybody got into a boisterous con- dition of hilarity, and such a reign of terror was inaugurated ‘that even Gunning himself found it advisable to lock himssif up out of harm's way. Last fall there were murmurings among Gun- ning’s neighbors at South Wilton and a growing suspicion that Mrs. Gunning was ek tired of his wild and reckless expenditures, an the climax was supposed to have been reached when Mrs. Gunning caused a lawsuit to be nolle prossed which Guaning had brought against the German coachman for theft, which charge, it seems, was unjustifiable. Gunning left sud- denly a few days afterward, leaving no clew to his whereabouts, but it is supposed went to Canada. He left an enormous amount of debts, among his creditors being the contractors who built his large new barn. It was also said he took with him all the available cash belonginy to his wife which he could lay his hands upon, which amounted to several thousand dollars. MRS. GUNNING DRIVEN INSANE. Later he returned here aud gave bonds to keep the peace, Mrs. Gunning having complained that she feared personal violence at his hands. He then disappeared from Norwalk, and rumor has since located him in various parts of the world. He wasa great traveler, and it is not surprising that he should go to India and later to South America, The estate passed into the hands of creditors and Mrs. Gunning obtained a divorce from her husband. Her mind finally gaye way, and two months ago she was taken to du asylum at Litchfield for treatment. For weeks there was little or no improvement in her condition, but the latest reports are that she is so much better that she has been taken to her mother’s home in Pecenage Oocinas- The house on Mott avenue, in this place, into which Mrs. Gunning and her children moved when it became bea for them to leave the man- sion at South Wilton, is closed, and the elabo- rate furniture and fixtures have been stored. Further details regarding Mr. Gunning’s fate are awaited with great interest by all who knew es in the days of his apparent prosperity ere. —————.90- AT THEIR UTMOST SPEED. Ocean Racers Thronged with Passen- gers on Their Way to New York. London Special to New York World, August 10, The ocean racers started off in fine style from Queenstown Thursday, and the news of their arrival at New York is being watched for with the utmost eagerness, Thousands of pounds have been staked on the race, princi- pally by Americans here, who take great inter- est in the result. Singularly enough, all offer large odds in favor of the City of New York against the Teutonic. Ins group of Ameri- cans assembled in the smoking room of the Hotel Metropole last night one of the men present offered £100 to £10 odds against the Teutonic. He offered to increase the amount in that proportion to any sum for which takers could be found that the Teutonic would never beat the present record of the City of Paris. ‘This gentleman was on the Teutonic during “EVERY INCH AN EMPEROR.” Young Kalser Thousands of Englishmen flocked to Ports- mouth and to Aldershot purposely to see what the young monarch was like. All Americans who could go went, among them Chauncey Depew and Street Commissioner Coleman. Mr. Chauncey Depew saw the emperor when the latter came on board the Teutonic. Questioned by the World correspondent on the subject, Mr. Depew remarked: “I had seen him once before in Tyrol with his grandfather when the chances of his becoming emperor seemed very remote. I oo him then s manly, self-possessed young fellow. Now he looks every inch the emperor in all that the word means from the no in time. His sole i on land and on sea for the protection of the German empire and for the maintenance of its unity and power. He has taken Re careful notes of onc of the great- est naval military displays that the world has ever seen, an array of armament which was intended to astonish him and to show him the yalue of England asan and the danger of having her as anenemy. You should have seen him Jook at those new cannon which fire twelve shots to the minute on the Teutonic. He went fray them like a dose of salts, examiued them inside and out, and turning to an officer at his side he said em: im ‘e must have those gone and ‘quick, too,’ He listened with mild interest to the description of the fine eabins and luxurious accommodations for the passengers, but what he wanted to know all about was those twin screws and what they would do under pressure.” ARE WE SPOILING FOR A FIGHT. Among other things which Mr. Depew discov- ered during his Portsmouth visit was that there is a growing belief over there that the United States is spoiling for a fight with somebody, and would rather prefer to tackle England than anybody else. Mr. Depew found this to be the keynote of the speeches of Lord get Ham- ilton and of other cabinet officers and states- men on the Teutonic, who persisted in harping onthe difficulties with Canada, Mr. Depew astonished them all by making light of their gloomy apprehensions and by treating Canada ag a willing maiden onl; iting to be asked. COME ON, GIRLS. Marriage Without Acquaintance May be a Brilliant Success, From the Chicago Herald. The mayor of Boston has received official notice from the mayor of Tacoma that young women suitable for wives are in great demand in Washington territory and especially in the promising and growing city of Tacoma, He states that there are ten-fold more men than women in the territory that will soon become a state, and that most of them are young, en- terprising and industrious. He asks that the needs of the people residing in the far north- west be made known through the newspapers to the unmarried women of the ancient com- monwealth of Massachusetts, and that as many as can be spared be sent to the country lying about Puget sound, This notification MEANS BUSINESS, It comes square down to facts and figures. It is not intended to catch the eye of “triflers” who often answer matrimonial advertisements, It shows that there is an active demand for maidens and widows of any reasonable age, and that there is a preference for those who were born and bred near Plymouth Rock, Bunker Hill, Cape Cod and Witch Hill. It does not state that any prejudice exists against girls who were brought up on baked beans, dried codfish, smoked herring, spruce gum, cider, apple sauce, pumpkin pie, doughnuts, Emerson’s philoso- phy, Hawthorne's romances, Howells’ novels and Lowell’s try. On the other hand it de- clares that the arms, hearts and homes of the men of the great promised land of the north- west are all open and ready toreceive them. It may be true that the improved Puritan maiden does not like to be wooel and won in this plain, matter-of-fact, business way. There is too much of western bluntness about it. It is not in conformity with the traditions of her ancestors. It is entirely lacking in sentiment. It is destitute of any trace of romance or poetry. More than any or all of these, it conflicts with her inherited ideas of propriety and with her notions of modesty. But girls who have reached or are approaching what is known as the un- certain age should not stand on trifle. To them, more than to most persons, ‘‘delays are dangerous. Ling food prefer a man who can trace his lineage directly to persons who took cabin passage in the Mayflower, whose father graduated at Harvard and whose pedigree can be traced to the time of the conqueror. The: might enjoy a courtship extending throug! five or six years and ante-nuptial presents con- sisting of a bust of Browning and a letter-press edition of Longfellow’s poems, but they must remember that western men are busy. Time and laborare required to make modern im- vements in “the continuous woods where lows the Oregon.” To construct bridges ai roads, to build cities and navies and organize a state demand energy, time and labor. Men who are engaged in these affairs have no leisure to spend in WHISPERING WORDS OF LOVE But they authorize an official to say: on, girls, and we will marry you.” History shows that the happiest marriages were those made on very short acquaintance or without any previous acquaintance, The Sabine women, who were enticed to Rome to witness some games and were made captives, were satisfied with their husbands, and not one of them ever applied fora divorce. The Tahitian women whom the mutineers of the ship Bounty stole and took to Pitcairn Island, just a hundred ears always lived contentedly with their usbands, Marriage with an acquaintance is often ‘a failure.” With a stranger it is gen- erally a brilliant success, There is entirely too much sentiment connected with the orthodox society marriage. oe-—_____- When it is Useful.

Audubon, I think, figured the flower of the tulip tree on the same plate with the Baltimore oriole, because the bird and the bloom have very similar color-markings. Let me present the claims of my tree in short form: 1. It is the noblest plant in America, 2, There is but one species. 3, It is eminently historic in that its wood has been used, from the earliest period of our colonial life down to the present time, in buildin, id furnishing our homes. The fences, stables, barns, houses, even the ‘sugar-troughs’ of the pioneers were made of it. 4. The flower is nobly beautiful in composition, line, color and texture, and has the added quality of keeping bright and beauti- fal for a week or more after being cut. 5. There is no other native flower at all like it and its sole habit at is America, The golden-rod ought not be considered in this connection. _ It is acomposite and presents eleven species, mentioned by Gray, but nearer eleven times eleven in fact,to confuse us withal.
