6 THE LONDON STRIKE. The Terms Agreed to by the Compa- nies Refused by the Dock Laborers. London dispatches yesterday said that the dock companics have agreed to the demand of the strikers, but the rates of wages to be paid are to continue as at present, the advance rate not to go into effect until January1. It is made a condition of the arrangement that all the strikors shall resume work on Monday. The strike committee has announced that the strikers will not accept these terms, The strikers held another large meeting in Hyde park yesterday. The proceedings were orderly. Mr. Burns,ina speech,declared it was mistake to suppose that he had agreed to the proposal of the arbitrators, He invited the strik- ers to declare whether or not they would accept the proposal. A loud shout of “No” went up from the crowd. Mr. Burns, continuing, ssid the strike committee were prepared to hold out for three weeks more, but he believed the directors of the dock companies would concede the strikers’ terms before another week had passed Mr. Tillet visited the lord mayor last evening and pro) d new terms to commence in Octo- ber. The lord mayor demurred, but promised to use his best endeavors to persuade the dock directors to agree to the terms. + The lord mayor of London, Bishop Temple and Cardinal Manning have written a joint letter in which they Cy iy surprise at the strikers’ repudiation of the terms agreed to by the dock companies, and declare their opinion that if the men continue the strike the forfeit the sympathy hitherto accorded them. = 0s THE ANTWERP DISASTER.

The case of Denison D. Dana, treasurer of the Douglas axe manufacturing company of Boston has been taken in hand by the police. A warrant was secured charging Dana with embezzling $25,000. This is only a small part of what he actually took. Inspector Dugan learned that the treasurer's son, William Dana, had not been seen since Tuesday. As this was the day of his father’s disappearance the police attach a great deal of significance to the cir- eumstance. An involuntary petition in insol- vency was filed against the company Saturday at the Worcester county insolvency court. —~—————— New Indiana School Books to be Tried.

It was late in the afternoon when Mr. Edison returned to the Hotel du Rhin and began to dress for the dinner party at the American minister's. ‘But you have forgotten your dec- oration,” said one of Mr. Edison's friends as the inventor took up his hat to start. “Oh, I haven’tany.” “Yes, here’s one.” and Mrs. Edison fastened in her husband's lapel a bit of red ribbon. Later in the evening, in Mr. Reid’s drawing room, s correct diplomat, who knew that Mr. Edison was an officer and not a knight of the Legion of Honor, pulled outa # rosette and substituted it forthe bit of rib- bon.

MONDAY, Lf € BROWN-SEQUARD’S PROCESS. He Objects to the Word “Elixir” and Condemns Ignorant Experimenters. Paris Special to New York Herald, Sept. 8. Dr. Brown-Sequard, who recently returned to Paris from Brighton, where he has been pass- ing his summer holidays, is still pursuing his investigations and experiments in reference to the methods of increasing vitality. His studies are now directed toward accomplishing for women the same result that he maintains has been reached in the case of men. As I handed Dr. Brown-Sequard # voluminous package of cuttings from American papers referring to ex- periments made with his inoculations he smiled rather sadly and said: “Why, I thought I knew your countrymen tty well, but it seems that I was mistaken. it mever occurred to me that so many of them would go off at half cock, as it were, and under- take experiments of this kind without first thor- oughly mastering all the preliminary details.” “Your elixir has certainly caused a great sen- sation in America.” “Please don’t make use of that word ‘elixir.’” exclaimed Dr. Brown-Sequard, ‘I never mado use of the word ‘elixir,’ still less of the words ‘elixir of life.’ These are ali expressions or in- ventions Of sensational ne‘ pers, If quacks or ignorant men in America have killed people, as stated ao New York pay they would have avoided committing those murders had they paid the least attention to the most ele- mentary rules as regards the subcutaneous in- = animal substances, or even if they ad carefully read the paper on the subject that appeared inthe London Lancet of July 20.” NO SPECIAL DANGER, “Are injections of animal matter attended with special danger?" “No,” replied Dr. Brown-Sequard. ‘Injec- tions of animal matter have no danger, asa rule, unless the substances begin to be decom- posed. When this condition of things exists no good can be obtained and there is grave —— of inflammation, abscesses and even death. There is, of course, also great danger unless the strictest attention is paid to the cleanliness of all vases and instruments, Per- 80us wishing to make use of my process ought to bestow on the small operation that it in- volves as much care as they would upon an operation of the amputation of the thigh, for instance.” “You seem to have got many letters from America,” I remarked, glancing at a huge pile ode envelopes bearing Gaited States postage stamps. “Yes, Ireceive about twenty-five letters a day from America, I have no private secretary and never will have one, as I hate to have any one about who thinks he knows all my affairs, so that I answer as many of these letters as I can myself and let the rest remain until an- other day,” NO HAPPY MEAN, “What is your opinion of the way in which your process has been received in America and in England.” “I am prepared to say with the utmost frank- ness that the appreciations of the method seem to me to be either too laudatory—absurdiy so, in fact—on the one hand, and too deprecator —too vindictive, I may say—on the other han Public opinion has gone to the two extremes. There seems to be no happy medium of criti- cism. The views expressed by Dr. Loomis of New York seem to me to be very just.” “Do you think that your old anti-vivisection- ist enemies are the cause of the vindictive views expressed in reference to the process?” “Yes, [am afraid that the anti-vivisectionists are at the bottom of a great deal of it, but what annoys me most is that experiments should made promiscuously, as it were, without Proper study or precaution. Why, while I was at Brighton an experiment was made and when blood poisoning ensued from an utter disre- gard of the ordinary precautions taken in sub- cutaneous injections of animal substances the fact was made known to me end my advice asked for. I replied: ‘The mischief is done now. Why didn't you ask me about it before the operation?’ ” ——_———_+e0—______ 45 Misvtes to Bartiwone.—Take the B, and O.'s 45-minute flyers on your next visit to Bal- timore; $1.20 for round trip during exposition week, —Adct. ——_>___ FATE OF THE HATFIELD GANG.

Gillespie are yet to be tried, they being now confined iu the Pike county jail charged with the same offense. A Lexington dispatch to the New York Her- ald Saturday says: The conviction of the men virtually puts an end to the famous vendetta, which was probably the most notorious of Kentucky's mountain wars, as out of it grew the famous habeas corpus proceedings which threatened at one time to strain the friendly relations existing between West Virginia an this state. verdict upon that occasion was in favor of Kentucky, hence the result above stated, hier Philli hea! of the men who participat the kidnaping proceedings at that time, came here with the Katara Taig 4s an officer, It was he who killed two of their number who were attempting to escape. It is safe tosay that the country where this band committed its depredations will rest easy for a while, at least, until the surviving members of the banican rally forces, which promises at present to be far away in the future.

Old Ocean Makes it Unpleasant for Guests at the Seaside. A tidal wave that swept on the beach at the resorts along the Long Island and New Jersey coasts yesterday afternoon caused great con- sternation. At Rockaway Beach the wave came about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, rolled 70 feet up the beach and broke over two or three thousand persons, men, women and children, who were on the sands. It came without warn- ing and, though a rush was made for shelter, few escaped being drenched. In receding the wave carried a number of women and children some distance with it, but fortunately all were saved, A large number of small buildings, stands, &c., were washed away. At Atlantic City an unusually high tide mens along the beach front about 7 o'clock, doing considerable damage. About 200 feet of Jackson's bath-houie pavilion, at the foot of Virginia avenue, was entirely destroyed, and the debris washing against the supports of the pr ogpicee weakened the structure consid- erably. Mrs. Ayers of Philadelphia, was on the walk watching the havoc being wrought by the sea, when an extraordinary wave broke over the board walk, drenching the crowd and creating a ic, during which she was forced over the ling into the surf below, James Alberts, the pedestrian, and A.

Beyond nervous prostration Mrs, Ayres suffered no se- rious injuries, A section of the board walk in front of the ‘Tramore was destroyed and the water flooded the street, compelling the guests of the Wind- sor and Traymore hotels to leave by the rear entrance or use carriages. The builwark in front of Disston villa also suffered severely. At Sea Isle City, N.J., while the sea was run- ning high Benedict Blunschei, a Philadelphia oung man, was drowned and three young dies from the same city narrowly escaped a like fate while bathing. Blunschei,was carried beyond his depth by a tremendous undertow. ‘The body has not been recovered. The re ladies were brought ashore in an exhauste condition by abd pred men, At Coney Island many small booths and piers were carried away. Three men were drowned by the capsizing of their row boat in the heavy surf off Rockaway Beach during the afternoon. Another boat containing four men capsized and the men were saved with great di ity. Came WINSTON AND THE SHAH. He Accepted Four Elephants and Went the Shah One Better. From the St. Louis Republican, The revival of the rage about the shah of Persia has led to a story on Fred Winston of Chicago, who for a short time represented the United States at the Persian court. When he arrived at Teheran he was met outside of the city by the chamberlain of the court, who, in the name of the shah, presented him with four elephants, Winston, who had never seen an elephant outside of a menagerie, was paralyzed at his situation, but managed to express his thanks for the shah’s kindness, After he had been presented and had assumed the duties of his office his greatest official burden was the care of his elephants, Relief came on the second day, when the intimation was politely conveyed that the shah expected a present from him. “Certainly,” said Winston, as wreathed his face. a smile “I have only been wait- ing to secure one worthy of so great a ruler.” That afternoon he proceeded in state to the palace and presented the shah with five ele- phants. The chamberlain seemed to regard the animals with suspicion, but Oriental polite- ness prevents the inspection of a gift horse in the mouth, and anyhow the extra elephant re- moved all doubt. “That extra elephant cost me $100," said Winston, in telling the story afterward. ‘But considered myself getting out of a bad scrape cheap at that.” — 00 A HARD FIGHT WITH A BEAR. Hunter Peter Markie Kills Bruin After A Desperate Struggle. A Kingston, N.Y., special to the Philadel- phia Press, September 7, says: News comes from Samsonville, this couuty, of a desperate struggle for life witha bear near that place yesterday. Peter B. Markle left his home early in the morning to go to Ellenville. He was accompanied by his daughter, twelve years old, and his dog. The journey was through woods and over mountains, When crossing the mountiin the dog, which had been run- ning leisurely alongside of the wagon, rushed into a clump of woods and soon began to bark. Markle knew that the animal had sighted some game. He jumped from the wagon, rifle in hand, and ran into the thicket. He had hardly got out of sight before he heard the screams of his child, whom he had left seated in the wagon. “A bear! a bear!” she shouted ai the top of her voice. Hastening back Markle found a large bear treed by the dog. It was about twenty feet from the ground. A terrific battle then ensued between man, dog and bear. The bear had seized the dog as soon as it recovered from the shock of the fall to the ground, and the canine was soon howling with pain from huge gashes in its body made by the shaggy brute. Bruin then turned his attention to Markle. His huge paws were quickly imbedded in the man’s flesh and his clothes were torn from his iy. the butt of # revolver, Markle succeeded in stunning the bear with many repeated blows on the head. Two bullets at short range jierced a vital spot and settled the fight. larkle put the bear in his wagon and took it to Ellenville. It weighed over 300 unds, Markle is the son of an old soldier and a bear hunter and he has himself captured more than @ acore of bears in the forests of Ulster and Sullivan counties, A TWO MILLION DOLLAR FIRE. A Large Brooklyn Refinery Destroyed and Several Men Hurt. A disastrous fire broke out Saturday morning in the mammoth sugar plant of Dick, Meyer & Co, on North 7th and North 8th streets, in Williamsburg, ‘The fire started with an ex- plosion, the exact cause of which is not known, It is supposed to have been caused by the ex- plosive nature of finely powdered particles of sugar which had permeated the air in the mills where the granulated sugar was reduced to the powdered product, There were three mills at work reducing the granulated sugar to the fiuely powdered article. The entire estab- lishment, which consisted of a collection of buildings eight stories in height, extending about 400 feet on North 7th street, 300 feet on North 8th street and 250 feet along the dock, was reduced to a mass of ruins. It was filled with very valuable machinery and the loss on the buildings and machinery is estimated at about $1,500,000. Within ‘the building were 1,700 barrels of sugar valued at about half a million dollars, making a total loss of about 2,000,000. There were a number of men in- jured by the ss plosion or burned by the fire. e mills employed about 200 men, who will be thrown out of employment.

Among those who ap- plied was John Barth, an old and highly es- teemed citizen of this place, For five years he has been a sufferer from # complication of diseases, Long ago he was compelled to give up a lucrative business on account of ill health, and he was gradually growing more feeble. Several times within the last four years his Ee and friends have given him up as opeléssly ill, but each time he rallied, became alittle stronger and was able to take short walks. It was during of these spells of convales- cence about a moth that he determined to apply at the hospital for an injection of the elixir of life. The first injection was made and its its good results astonished him. On his way home he was heard to remark that he felt like a young man again, and his Flee gratified his friends. A few days ago he visited the hospital asecond time and the experiment was repeated. For a short time Mr, Barth felt invigorated,but it did not last long. He went home and took to his bed, and a short time afterward he became unconscious, At the end of sect oatt hours he died. He suffered great pain before he be- came unconscious, and during the last few hours of his sickness his skin turned a ~~ yellow color. After he died the color change: to a black, and even in ice his body could not be preserved longer than two days. Yesterday he was buried. ———-+ee_—____ A VILLIANOUS PLOT. A Man Said to Have Been Lynched toIn- sure His Silence. A special from Wheeling, W. Va, says: In- vestigations by the grand jury in Fayette county, this state, have brought to light a fiendish plot, About a month ago a white man named Charles West was waylaid and butchered by Bill Turner, a worthless negro who had been criminal all his life. West was a prominent citizen and a committee of regulators lynched Turner, Curiosity about the motive for West's murder was aroused and rumors of a statement that Turner had made just before he was strung up became so numerous that the grand jury, then in session, took cognizance of them and began an investigation, One of the lynchers, John West, a cousin of the murdered man. was summoned, and during his examination broke down and made the following remarkable confession: “Charles West was politically obnoxious to a mnum- ber of persons of Fayette county and they determined to have him removed. He was too prominent a man to be killed without ex- citing a searching examination, which might prove unpleasant for his murderer, and he could not be provoked toa quarrel, in which he might be shot in self defence. The plotters were in a dilemma and held several conferences, At last they hit upon the plan of hiring Turner to do the deed and then lynching him before he had a chance to implicate them. thus destroy- ing all trace of their guilt.” West was killed and Turner was lynched, but before they conld strangle their hired bravo he let fall’a few words that gave aclue to the officers of the law. The investigation has not been conciuded, but those concerned in the plot are known and will be indicted at once. ‘three of them have become alarmed and have ieft the vicinity, abandoning their property, but the rest are being shadowed by deputy sheriffs and will be arrested if they attempt to go out of the county. ae HIGH LICENSE IN BALTIMORE. Some Interesting Points from the Re- port of the Grand Jury. In their report the grand jury of Baltimore Saturday recommended some radical changes in the existing law. In the first place they recommend a high license law similar to that in Boston, The report asks for a license of $1,000 with a provision prohibiting the selling of liquor between the hours of midnight and Tam. It says: ‘If the legislature will give us a high license law and extend the jurisdiction of the police magistrates the grand jury will be relieved of one-half of its present work and will have time for more important investi- gations.” The report also says: “There is but little difficulty in enforcing the law against the grosser forms. We are assured by those who ought to know, for instance, that fortwo months there has been no game of faro played in this city, but we found numerous so-called social clubs, pro- tected by charters from the courts, where the most insidious sort of gambling seems to be in- cessant. In order to suppress these resorts there must be some change in the law, and we earnestly recommend that the courts be allowed to exercise their discretion in granting such charters and have the power summarily to re- yoke them when it appears that they are abused. We also advise some change in the law so that the various pool rooms now open in this city may be closed.” Leaving » Large Estate to the Public. A New Haven (Sept. 7) special to the New York Tribune says: Mrs, Ellen M. Gifford died at her home in this city this forenoon. By her death $600,000 will come into the possession of city and state institutions, She was the only surviving heir of Phillip Morett, a Frenchman who came to this city in 1864from Boston. He died in 1869, leaving a fortune of over #700,000 in trust to his wife and daughter, to be divided at the death of the last surviving heir as follows: One-fifth to the Connecticut hospital society, the income to be used for keeping free beds; one-fifth to the city of New Haven, the income to be used for the indigent, aged and infirm Persons, not paupers; one-fifth to Yale college, the income to be used for scholarships in the academical department; one-tenth to the New Haven orphan asylum, one-tenth to St. Francis | o orphan asylum, one-tenth to the city of New Haven for books for the Young Men’s institute or any other public library, and one-tenth to to the state of Counecticut, to be used for the spp of an institution for idiots and imbe- ciles, Mann and Mrs. Swinton Held. Josh Maun, the lover of Mrs. Ray Hamilton, and his mother, Mrs, Swinton, were Saturday held in New York in @1,500 bail each for the action of the grand jury. Heiress to a Missing Legacy. An interesting story comes from Chicago. Some days ago Chief of Police Hubbard re- ceived a request from Dr. J. H. Brewer of Sioux City, Iowa, for the full names and ad- resses of all the Adamses in Chicago. About | “4 twenty years ago'a man named Andrews eloped with Miss Viola Adams, the daughter of a wealthy resident of Chicago, The father cast his daughter off. The young husband soon be- (ral to treat his wife harshly «nd finally she left jim and returned to her father, bringing her baby daughter with her. Subsequently the child was stolen and all efforts to find her were unavailing. The ‘grandfather left the missing child a legacy of $40,000. It now appears that she was stolen by her father, who placed her in the family of & Norwegian named Nelson, in Des Moines, Iowa, where grew up as their daughter. Recently Dr. Brewer discovered the facts in the case and secured a confession from the father, who had been playing the rols of a friend of the Nelson family. It was his inten- tion to take the girl to Chicago and secure the legacy for himself. The young lady is now with Dr, Brewer's family in Sioux City and the pee is endeavoring to find her Chicago rela- ives, ——_—_-+ee______ The Duel Did Not Take Place, e SEPTEMBER 9, AUCTION SALES. ‘THIS AFTERNOON.

Hewsade” ee rd br saver BEEN CO) & FE WY PRAT M FACTS THE EVENING STAR is a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nee of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classed of news, but especially so in regard te Local News and District Affsirs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORB THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day a full | Feport of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. —:e:—— By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of | time in its favor, it is also able to give | ite readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news trom Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. — Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa= cific Oceans, —:0:——— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 2 A aa a rary > —:0:——_ THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR | SUBSCRILGERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It ts de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ie in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THB OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGE1HER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST (N THE CITY. —0:—— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STARK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are leas® uble to stand. public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below.
