Frayxrost, Kr., Oct. 1.— Through the efforts of the National humane society and the Kentucky division of that body s conditional pardon has been obtained from Governor Buck- ner for Linnville Combs, the youngest life con- vict ever sent to a penitentiary. Young Combs is to be placed in the industrial school of re- form at Louisville to remain until he is of age. He lived with his mother and step-father in Breathitt county. There was a baby in the family and one day this baby was missed. Livnville was questioned and finally led the neighbors to where the baby’s body was found in @ creek, its head crushed in. He said he had hit the child on the head with a poker and killed it, after which he tried to burn the body. not | It did not burn fast enough and he threw it into the creek. He also said his father had promised him a pair of new red-top boots if he would kill the baby. tong J an infant in law his testimony against the old man was value- less, but he was sent to prison for life. He had never heard of God or the alphabet and did not know right from wrong, At the time of his conviction he was ten years old and now,at the age of twelve. he can read and write and is very bright.

Muskgcox, Micu., Oct. 1.—A report has just reached here that half the town of Grand Haven was destroyed by fire this morning. The report says that a fire started in the center of the business portion of the city and before it could be extinguished had swept through half the city. A fierce wind was blowing from the lake, and the flames got beyond the control of the firemen shortly after the fire started. The telegraph office was destroyed, and it is impossible to get full particulars. The damage cannot be estimated, but as several large establishments where agricultural imple- ments are manufactured and one large factory containing u big stock of woodem ware were de- stroyed the loss is probably very heavy. pest ache a Rs The Big Four Gets Another Railroad.

New Youx, Oct. 1—The bark Jane Law, eight days overdue from Havazia, arrived to- day. There were reports that yellow fever was raging on the vessel; that all hands had been stricken down and that it had been lost. While the stories were exaggerated it was learned that yellow fever had been on board the ves- sel. One of the sailors, E. Spardt, a German, thirty years old, was sick from it for seven days and then escaped from his confinement and disappeared. He is supposed to have jumped overboard. Two other sailors were stricken down by the fever, but they recovered. The bark is quarantined, ae Telegraphic Briefs.

United States Delegates Confer With , Secretary Blaine. ‘OBJECT QF TRE CONGRESS—ITS PURPOSES AND METHODS—PROMOTION OF GOOD FEELING AND COMMERCIAL RECIPROCITY—A CORDIAL RECEP ‘TION TO THE FOREIGN DELEGATES, ‘The American delegates vo the Three Amer- jess congress called on Secretary Blaine at noon today, sccording to the instructions sent out from the State department. Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge of Massa chusetts was the only delegate who did not appear, being detained by his busi- ness in Boston, where he will join the party later. The ites were shown into the diplo- matic ante-room and afterward escorted by Mr. Walker Blaine into the diplomatic reception room, where they were presented to the Sec- retary. The conference lasted some time. THE DELEGATES ARE: Ex-Senator John B, Henderson of Missouri, Hon, Cornelius N. Bliss of New York, Charles Studebaker of Indiana, T. Jefferson Coolidge of Massachusetts, Wm. Hei Trescott of South Carolina, Andrew Carnegie of Pennsyl- vania, ex-Senator Henry G. Davis of West Vir- inia, Hon. Morris M. of California and F. Hanson of Georgia, PROMOTION OF GOOD FEELING AND MUTUAL AD- VANTAGE. There is yet much doubt as to what turn the congress of Three Americas will take. The foreign delegates are invited here to discuss certal estions eae all a = tions ing 6 ‘ongress; they lousy hero ivlr ions genacal spirit—that of friendship and with o ire to derive as much benefit as possible from a closer commu- nication and association. They are received with the most cordial friendship, and the pur- pose onall sides is to draw as much advantage as possible from this mutual good feeling. ther than this nobody knows. How the desired advantages are to be gained isa thing to be brought out in discussion and by friendly conference, Itis hardly te be expected that the guests from the other re- publics will all be of the same opinion. Individually their interests are more or less separated from each other, in the sense that ours is from each of them; but the idea is that to a great extent all these interests can be partly joined by CLOSER COMMERCIAL RELATIONS. It is not believed that any spirit of rivalry will arise in the Congress, All the delegates appear to be without instructions and sho without authority to Pledge | their Tespective countries to any eof action. The most they can do is to discuss the several F Sapanteone each looking out for the interests of his nation, and try to agree upon some general recommendations to make to the home governments, Of necessity, how- ever, each delegate will reserve the right to report to his own government just such im- pressions as he individually may derive from the discussion. . The discussion will be conducted, of course, in a way to bring out fully how far the ihterests of the several nations lie in one direction, to what extent they are antagnostic, if at all, and what can be done to more completely harmon- ize them, THE FOREIGN DELEGATES held another conference this morning to come to some plan of procedure satisfactory to them, and the United States delegates had a confer- ence with Mr, Biaine, as stated above. THE FIRST QUESTION to be considered is that of organization, This in accordance with diplomatic usage for a mem- ber of the delegation representing the countrs issuing the invitation to preside: but thero seems to be a generous disposition on the part of our people let the guests have this honor if they desire it—possibly to select as a presiding officer a representative of one of the smalleat republics represented. ‘here is no determination in this matter as yet, however, and it is not unlikely that Mr. Blaine will, by unanimous voice, be asked to preside. All this and other matters of organi- zation will be settled by committees appointed on both sides, Meanwhile the delegates will be becoming better acquainted with each other and come to « fuller understanding of each others ideas as to the things to be accomplished by the congress, THE SOCIAL FEATURE OF THE OCCASION will be the most prominent from this until the 13th of next month, and~every effort will be made to give comfort, convenience and plé&sure to the guests, and every possible opportunity will be given them to get a full knowledge and underatanding of the people and conditions in this bagesd G ‘The visiting delegates are an able set of men, skilled in diplomacy and representing tho culture of their respective nations. The im- ———- they have made as a body, upon the lelegates on the tof the United Statewand all others with whom they have met, is most flattering to them. The questions to be discussed relate to com- merce, finance, and the general well-being of the neighbor nations, COMMERCIAL MATTERS occupy the minds of them all more especially. As far as can be learned the prevailing idea with the visiting diplomats sppears to relate to reciprocity of trade, The delegates of the United States seem to be thinking more of the ss of steamship communication by subsidy. An ies advanced to a Srar reporter by a public man who has been dee; ly interested in the matter looked to the subsidizing of steam- ship lines, without regard to mails, at 35 cents per ton, and the establishment of a re- ciprocity, when & rebate of 90 per cent would be allowed in the duties on rgw materials shipped to the United States from the southern evs and shipped back in manutactured ‘orm. MRS. BURNETT ATTACKED. A Bold Charge that She Did Not Write “Fauntleroy,”? " A London cable to the World makes the an- nouncement that Mrs, Frances Hodgson Bur- nett’s claim to the authorship of “Little Lord Fauntleroy” is disputed by Mrs. A. T. Winthrop. Under Mrs. Winthrop’s authority the Lon- don critics flatly accuse Mrs. Burnett of steal- ing the entire plot and most of the dialogue of “Little Lord Fauntleroy” from an aspiring American lady who had appealed to her for advice and guidance. This startling accusa- tion is based upon the following letter, dated Baltimore, July 1, of this year, which has never yet seen daylight, but which has been discussed during the past week at the Garrick and Atheneum clubs, and which will be published all over London me f on the authority of Mr. Saville Clarke, one of the best-known literary reviewers and playwrights in London: He says that he received the letter from Washington from Mr, A. A. Hayes, to whom it was originally addressed: Baxtmworg, July 1, Dean Sm: I understand that you feel some interest in the history of the little book written by me some years ago from the fact of its hay- ing been so closely reproduced in the far- famed ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy.” After writ- ing my story, “Wilfred,” { naturally was anxious to find a publisher. Knowing that it would be difficult to do so unknown and un- aided, I wrote to Mra. Burnett, although a stranger. asking her if she could suggest a publi: house. She wrote a kind an: lite reply advising me to apply to Messrs. Scribner &XSon. They declined the MS. as being unfit for any of their publications, Then Isent it to Messrs. A. D. ¥ Randolph & Co. of 23d street, New York, on my own cet bear po They accepted the book and it appeared car! iy in 1880, about February or March. In acknowl- edgement of Mrs, Burnett's courtesy I mailed hera copy. Some weeks afterward I received 8 note of thanks dated 18th June, 1880, in which she says: ‘I have only so far been able to glance through the book, butI have gathered enough of the story to feel sure that children will like it very much.’ That the matter and I thought no more about it until “Little Lord | tober Fauntleroy" di. found that she had indeed my story to make her book the very c part of mine.

A Reception by the President—Deco- rating Masonic Temple. Chairman Parker of the triennial committee was granted an interview with the President this morning and the result was that the ar- rangements for the reception to be given by the President to the visiting Knights Templar were finally and definitely settled- Mr. Parker had e consultation with Maj. Ernst as to the details, The reception will be gived Wednesday evening, October 9, and last from 8:30 to 10:30. The Marine band will be in at- attendance and the White House grounds will be illuminated under the direction of the triennial committee. The doors of the mansion will not be open until 8:20 p.m. or ten minutes before the reception No one but Knights Templar and their Iadies will be admitted through the ates, The great number of “Enights ‘omplar visitors expacted as the guests of the city makes this exclusivences necessary at a reception given by the President eapoctally in compliment to the visitors. It was thought if a general reception were given the crowds of general visitors would be so $ that the Knights Templar would ve but small chance to see and greet the President. The grounds both north and south of the mansion will be illuminated and in case the evening is pleasant the south grounds will afford a beautiful resort for the promenaders into which the crowds from the mansion can overflow. DECORATING MASONIC TEMPLE. Mr. Aldrich, the decorator, began his work today at Masonio temple. He about com- pleted the interior decoration of the large main hall in which the Grand encampment will meet in conclave. The walls are almost hidden by flags and streamers 100 and wrought into graceful and appropriate forms, The heraldic arms of the different states form conspicuous features of the decora- tion, _ bein, arranged on the walls near tho ceiling, “About” the platform there is some very tasteful ‘apery. Along the walls on either side are placed tem- devices, lances, helmets, shields, all of glistening metal and + effectively grouped. from the center of the ceiling, radiating out in all directions, are red, white and blue streamers which make graceful, downward curves and terminate at the cornices, at the sides and end of the hall. THE ROPING OF THE AVENUE ON PARADE DAY. Several days ago Taz Straw referred to the interview of M. M. Parker and Harrison Ding- man with the Commissioners relative to the roping of the avenue the day of the urade. Today the Commissioners received a etter from Mr. Parker calling attention to the interview and the fact that he has seen Mr. Marean, the superintendent of the Western Union telegraph company, who says he is will- ing to furnish the necessary wire for the pur- ee his letter to the Commissioners Mr. Parker farther says that he assumes the Commission- ers would want to put it up under the direction of the District government, but the telegraph company would prefer to take it down. The letter has been referred to the engineer depart- ment for reply. THE MILITARY PARADE. It hasbeen decided to postpone the dress parade of the District national guard from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon to avoid conflict with the parade of the Mystic Shrine, which had already been announced for Wednesday afternoén. ; A CONTRACT AWARDED. The triennial committee has awarded to 8. M. Plumley the contract for erect- ing the stands at the south of the Treasury and the reviewing stands on K street and in front of the White House.

The matter was referred to Mr. Howard for report. He answers the com- laints in order, and, in concluding his report, Baas that itis proper to state that when weights are once stamped officially the law does not require them to again be stamped,and were he to make ita rule to subject ali dealers to frequent tests of all weights heretofore stamped, while it might increase his fees it would be unjust. He de- nies all charges of dereliction of duty and re- fers to the host of dealers of all kinds who come within his range of duty for a vindication. BUILDING PERMITS have been issued as follows: Jackson Pum- phrey, one brick dwelling 403 4th street north- east; $2,000, E. W. Woodrutf, oue frame dwelling on 17th street extended; $3,500.

Unrtep States Covurt.—The detention of Judge Hughes at Lynchburg prevented the swearing in of the grand jury of the United States court yesterday and they were adjourned by the clerk until this morning. One of the matters which will be adjusted during the ses- sion of the court will be the contest over the $24,000 which remains of the $39,000 for which the Alexandria canal soldatter the attorneys allowances and the costs of suit are paid. Under a compromise, which has been agreed to, the sum on hand will be divided equally between the United States avd the corporation of Alex- andria, The Washington admiralty cases here- tofore mentioned will also come up. ‘The court will probably ait all the week. Aut Niost Liont.—Following the sug- gestion of Tae Stan the electric lights on the streets were kept shining all night last night, and will hereafter shine all night and every night. This settles one phase of the electric light question. The method of lighting such alleys as the police think should bo illuminated will now have to be considered. The cost of maintaining these sixty-two elec- tric lights will, it is estimated, be from 23,500 to $4,000 per annum. The cost of the one hundred and seventy street gas lights at the pricg paid in Washington for each light of sixteen can jes, however, would be for the Alexandria street lights, but as Alexandria city manufac- tures its own y ratios cost would be somewhat less, probably less than $3,000. SipgwaLxs to BE MzNnpEp.—The Bateman ¢ase, although it resulted in favor of the city, has had the effect to call special attention to the condition of many of the sidewalks of the ‘ich are out of Many of the sidewalks on the early ved streets are worn so thin that it is almost poms to keep them in place.

BOTELER. He Will Be Tried by the Police Trial Board. ‘The case of Lieut. James E. Boteler of the Police force, charged with intoxication, will be heard before the police trial committee Thure- day morning and not before the Commis- sioners, as the police supposed it would be. The hearing of ex-Lieut. Arnold was before the Commissioners and it was thought that the pre- cedent established at that time would be car- ried out in this instance, but this is not s0, as the case will come before the trial board. The name of the person who gave the informa- tion on which the charges were based has not yet been made public, although the charges have been made out and regularly sworn to. When the information was first given to the Commissioners the matter was referred to Major Moore and by him to Night Inspector Pearson. That official investigated the case, and as the result of his inquiries he swore tochargos against the lieutenant, The hearing will be conducted with closed doors, so that the public cannot have an opportunity to read the testi- mony taken. The witnesses summoned are not required by any law to attend the hearing and give evidence, and need not appear unless they chose to do so. Lieut, Boteler ion been on the force nearly twenty-three years and bas never been Bes charges before, It is thought likely that Commissioner Douginss will be sum- moned as a witness for the defense to explain in what manner and by whom the information was furnished to him. ——~—»__ HARD TO MANAGE, A Barber on a Spree—He Is Shot at by a Boy—The Bullet Hits the Lad’s Sister. August Miller is a barber, also a good citizen except when when under the influence of liquor. He formerly lived in Uniontown, but recently he has been boarding at the house of H. D. Clarke, No, 804 C street northeast. Last night between 10and 11 o'clock Miller returned to his boarding house under the influence of liquor and made trouble and the whole Clarke family could not eject him. During the squabble Mr. Clarke's fifteen-year-old son procured a’ re- volver and fired at Miller, but the ball struck his older sister, Stella, in the leg and inflicted a slight flesh wound. The pistol shot was heard led Policeman H. » who went to the house, where he found the members of the Clarke family upon the obstreperous boarder. The ofticer was unable to manage Miller and had to tie his hands before he could take him to the station. Miller was taken to the Police Court this morning and fined @5 or 15 days, LOCOMOTIVES VERSUS RACERS. A Baltimore and Ohio Engineer Fined for Running His Train Too Fast. In the Police Court this morning Thomas C. Hopkins, an engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was charged with running his train ata rate of speed greater than 12 miles an bour. Mr. Colbert, for the defendant, en- tered a ples of not guilty. Lieut. Teeple, Ser- geants McTaggart and Wall and Officer Curtis | appeared a8 witnesses for the prosecution. | Their testimony was to the effect that a quarter- mile stretch had been measured between 5th | and 9th streets. Lieut. Teeple and Sergeant McTaggart stood at a point near 7th street, while Sergeant Wall and Officer Curtis took Positions at each end of the quarter stretch. When the train, which was an incoming one, reached the 9th-street end of the stretch Sergt. Wall dropped his handxerehief and Officer Cur- tis dropped bis when it reached the 5th street end, eut. Teeple had a stop-watch, which indicated that the train made the timo in 31 seconds, TIMING TRAINS AND TIMING RACE HORSES, The engineer, in giving his testimony, argued that the time could not be taken in that way and Mr. Shillington referred to the manner in which race horses were timed. “Butrace horses,” said Mr. Colbert, “do not 0 25 miles an hour.” “Oh, yes,they do,” said the judge, “andmany times thousands of dollars depend on a second lave you anything to say?” asked the court of Mr. Shillington. “It seoms paradoxical to me,” said the prose- cutor, ‘to bring the Baltimore and Qhio rail- road here ona charge of fast running of their trains, Ido not think that a little more speed on their Bay Ridge trains last summer would have caused @ violation of the police regu- lations even outside of the District” Mr. Colbert argued” that it was unfair to select a quarter-mile stretch so near the Boundary, where the speed of trains is neces- sarily faster than when in the city, Judge Miller decided the case against the railroad and imposed a fine of $5. Mr. Colbert said he would note an appeal. — ORGANIZING THE JURIES. Opening the New Term of the Crim- inal Court. This morning the October term of the Crim- inal Court of the District was convened by Judge Bradley. The grand jurors drawn on the 18th of September were called. John A. Adams was reported not found; Davis Baker and Andrew Barber, over age; Mark B, Au- drews, under age; J. R. F. Brown, in govern- ment employ; Robert Boyd, in ill health, and all were excused.

Hunt alias Joseph Rrown, she diamond thief, is said to have relatives im Lewisburg, W.Va.

THE XPORO BURGLAR, Columbus Sewell, the negre burglar, whoalso left the jail in an anceremonious maoner, isa clever thief, and is probably smart enough to keep from being recaptured. He has friends in Maryland not far from Rockville, and it is thought that he probably went there. Circalara have been isened and sent to all parts of the country giving descriptions of the escaped con- victs, THEORIES OF TRE DETROTIVER, It is generally thought that the escape was planned and effected by Buck and his friends, but the detectives are of a different opinion, They beheve that Sewell not only planned the escape, but that he, with the assistence of an- other person, made it a success and was paid by Buck's friends to get him out. Tt has been ascertained who the cab map was with whom they rode Sunday night, byt be has not been interviewed yet. It is not believed, however, that he knew who his passengers were. Gen. Crocker, the warden of the jail, has hot yet returned to the city, but is expected shortly, FIRST CASE OF PRISON BREAKING AT THE NEW ally The authorities are somewhat chagrined that the escape was made, inasmuch as it has always been a matter of pride that an escape by break- ing jail here was out of the qnestion.
