JAMES THARP, sola S18 Fst | PARIS BAKERS 2d EDITION. MARRIED TO PARNELL Mrs. O'Shea Becomes the Famous Trishman’s Bride. AND BUTCHERS STRIKE. Death of Col. Fitzgerald, the Philadelphia Journalist. DR.KEMPSTER REACHES WALES PARNELL WEDS MRS. O'SHEA. They Are Married at Steyning in the Pres- ence of Only Two Witnesses. Lowpox, June 25.—It is believed that Mr. Parneil and Mrs. O'Shea were married toda} At 6:30 o'clock this morning a closed carriage left Parnell’s residence at Brighton and was driven by a coachman, who displayefl a white favor, to Steyning, a small town in Sussex county, ten niiles distant from Brighton, where, it is supposed, the wedding | ceremony was performed’ in the parish | church. While it is not absolutely known whom the carriage contained. yet the fact that Mrs. | O'Shea's house adjoins that of Parnell and the further fact that a door communicates between | the two residences, thus making it easy for both persons to depart from the sume house, leaves Yery little doubt that the occupants of the car- | riage were Sr. Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea. Loxpox, June 25,—-The report of the mar- riage of Charles Stewart Parnell to Mrs. Kate O'Sen at Steyning, Sussex, this ‘morning is confirmed. The ceremony was performed by the registrar, the only witnesses present being two of the clerks employed in that function- args office. ; r. Parnell bas written a letter for publi tion in which he asserts that Mrs. O'Shea had the authority of his private secretary, Mr. Henry Campbell, to attach his signature to the letters produced in court at the time of the tril of the action for damages brought against | the Cork Daily Heraid by Mr. Campbell. Later—-There appears to be no longer any doubt that Mr. Parnell was married to Mrs. O'Shea this morning, and that he and his bride started for parte Usknown immediately after the marriage at Steyning. | ‘the registrar of that place, together with | the books used to record marriages, haa’ a parently vanished. It is believed that the registrar has been bribed to hide himself and to keep the books concealed for the present. — PARIS BAKERS WILL STRIKE. They Demand the Abolition of the Registry Offices. Panis, June “25.—A meeting composed of about 6,000 bakers took place in thiscity today. Several speakers addressed the bakers assem- bled and it was resolved to strike immediately. The bakers are in arms against the registry offices, and insist, as the price of their return- ing to work, that these offices shall be sup- pressed. After the strike resolution had been unani- mously adopted the bakers who attended the meeting formed into procession and, with much cheering and inflammatory cries, tried pon the labor exchange. They were headed by. number of their leaders and by men who bore aloft the banners of the bakers’ societies. The police, however, gathered in force across the intended line of march, and when the bakers reached a conveniont point the police officers ordered the rocession to halt and further insisted that the makers should disperse and air their alleged grievances in a more orderly and less demon- strative manner. To these propositions the bakers demurred, claiming that they had a per- fect right to march through the streets to the labor exchange and insisting that they were only.calling attention in an orderly and legal manner to the wrongs from which they suf- fered. DISPERSED BY THE POLICE. The police refused to take this view of the demonstration, and upon the police attempting to enforce the order to disperse the bakers’ procession a free fight between the authorities and the bakers followed, and some lively seenes were witnessed. ‘The police eventually won the day, scattered the striking bakers, who fled ignominiously through the side streets of the neighborhood after leaving their most agitated fotlactta to) bandegt tee tiniorats police men, who triumphantly escorted the prisoners to guard houses in the vicinity of the emeute. AND NOW THE BUTCHERS STRIKE. Asif it was not putting the public toa suf- ficient degree of prospective annoyance to have the bakers of this city striking and riot- ing, the butchers of Paris have just announced that they also have determined tostrike for the settlement of several real or fancied wronge from which they claim to be suffering. ‘THE GROCERS JOIN THEM. And now at 3:30 p. m. in comes the startling piece-of news that the grocers of this very gay capitel have joined the bakers and the butchers in the strike movement. The situation of af- fairs thus brought about, it must be admitted, ie .peculiar, interesting and alarming. the fight of the striking employes i ried on to serious i lengths it will to amiable gardien de Ia paix, who had taken an active part in dis- re the bakers’ procession, pointedly put it. begin Without bread, meat ‘or groceries, m and otherwise, the regular inbab- itants and visitors to this city seem likely to be placed in an interesting position. ily, the city not being invested by the Prussians, there is no danger of any repetition of the scenes witnessed during the famous siege, when hideously compounded black bread was almost worth its weight in gold. Itis also probable that, should the bakers, butchers, grocers and others posh their strike to & warranting such a step, the au- thorities will place several thousand troupiers from the line regiments at the dis- of the master bakers, butchers, and grocers, and that the various halles, mar- kets, forts de ia halle (market porters) and commissaires. male and female, for the latter may join in the movement, will have their work performed temporarily by the red-breeched in- trymen of Paris. ‘Thus far the whole matter is laughed at and is regarded as a huge joke, but there is no dis- guising the fact that a wholesale and prolonged strike of the bakers, butchers and grocers of this city or of any other city would certainly cause considerable inconvenience, to say the least. A COUNCIL OF MINisTERS. Later.—That there really is a serious side to the bakers’, butchers’ and grocers’ strike may be set down as a fact, for this afternoon a meet- ing of the council of ministers was beld at the Ey the Elysee Palace and whale ques. | tion of the present Ixbor — disturb. | ance from all ite points was fully! discussed. The result was that it was decided that in the event of the strike extending the master bakers, butchers, grocers and other suppliers of food must. take measures to pro- vide Paris at least with the required for the daily use of its inhabitants. —————— STOCKS ARE STAGNANT.” ‘The Market Interested in Tomorrow's Action of the Cabinet on Silver Cotnage. New Youx, June,25.—Trading in stocks con- tinues limited. Up to noon today only 64,000 shares were sold. The market opened frac+ tionally lower than last night's closing.

A Warrant for the Son of the Ex-Minister to Hayti. <t New York, June 25.—A warrant has becn issued by the Brooklyn commissioners of chari- ties for the arrest of Ralph Langston, said to be a son of the famous colored orator, ex-Congressman John M. Iangston of Vir- ginia, on the complaint of Miss Helen Graff, 8 white girl, who charges him with wronging ir romise of a Migs Graf says she did not know at the time of ber en- ment that Langston had negro blood in his voles, Ralph Langston is well known here. He is about thirty years old and is known among his friends as a sporting man. He pays con- siderable attention to the racesand race horses, so his friends say, and has frequently sent race “tips” to them from New York. ‘ His friends, so far.as could be ascertained this afternoon, know nothing about the affair alleged against him. It will be remembered that he got into trouble hereabout_four years ago and shot » man near Howard University. — CURRENT GOSSIP BY CABLE. ‘The German Clergy Oppose Raising Funds to Suppress Slavery by Lattery. Loxpox, June 25.—The clergy of the Evangeli- eal church, says a Berlin dispatch, are ver; generally opposed to the proposal to raise by lottery 8,000,000 marks for the work of sup- pressing the slave trade in Africa, the ground of opposition being that the lottery would do avast deal of evil in Germany. ‘Chis stand against lotteries is a surprise to many, and es- pecially to the government officials, who had not counted on any sentiment of the kind when the idea wassuggested. Itixa fact, however, that for several years there hn+ been # steadily FrOWing sentiment adverse to all forme of gam- ling, including the lottery, and that many of y repeatedly warned their flocks toabstain from buying lottery tickets. The sale of such tickets is, however, still extensive in Berlin and the large cities in Germany and is said to be # leading cause of poverty among the working classes. “In the army the soldiers invest a large portion of theig pay in lotteries, although very few ever win prizes. A good deal of wonder is expressed that the kaiser should favor a lottery for any object, as he has set himecif severely against gambling. and only last week quoted to Count Stolberg a remark of the great Napoleon to the effect that he could not trust any one who gambled. ‘There is also a feeling that the money to be xiixed is to be used really for the advancement of German power in Africa under the pretext of putting down slavery. ANOTHER EXPEDITION TO THE CAMEROONS. Advices from West Africa state that the sec- ond German expedition had left the Cameroons who destroyed the former expedition. ‘The force is a formidable one, and inciudes 300 white men and 1,000 friendly natives. They had, however, a powerful enemy to encounter, the hostile chief being capable of putting several thousand well-armed warriors in the field. It spears that some of the Germans captured in the former expedition were cruelly tortured before they died, and there is no‘hope of find- ing any of them’ alive. Lt is believed that by this ‘time the Germans have wreaked a mem- orable vengeance on the cnemy. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR TO ENGLAND. Among the German visitors to England to see the naval exhibition is Vice Admiral Knorr, commander at Kiel, whom Americans will re- member as having been the hero of a naval fight in the Gulf of Mexico in 1870, when with the German gun boat Meteor he damaged and beat off the French dispatch vessel Bonvet, of superior force. Admiral Knorr has received a sailor's welcome among the British naval officers. TO PREVENT INFECTION. The German authorities are taking ex- traordinary precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from the Russian Hebrews who are flocking through the country, and_vis- itors for this reason are no longer permitted to enter the vaults at Charlottenburg where the exiles are permitted to rest, while the fugitives are hurried forward as rapidly as possible to their ports of departure for New York. ‘THE RECMPTION TO THE KAISER. Contrary to recent report, Queen Victoria has no intention of taking the place of the Prince of Wales as escort to the German emperor on the visit of the latter to London. ‘The prince and ail the members of the royal family who can attend, except the queen, will be present. PUNISHING THE MANIPUR MURDERERS. It is said that the government is strongly dis- posed to deal leniently with the Jubraj or Regentof Manipur, now under sentence of death for rebellion against the British. The government is satisfied that the Jubraj kad nothing to do with the treacherous’ murder of the British offi- cers, and it is ible that his sen- tence may be commuted to exile to the Anda- man Islands or some othe pans! colony. The Jubraj has made a pitiful plea for pardon. As for the Senapatti, brother of the Jubraj, his execution is certain, as well as that of the Ton- gal general, who first ordered the murders. a COL. .FITZGEKALD DEAD. The Oldest Newspaper Man in Philadelphia Expires in London. Purapexpnta, June25.—A private enblegram received here today from London. England, gives information of the death in that city last night of Col. Thomas Fitzgerald, proprietor and editor of the Daily Item of this city. Col. Fitzgerald went abroad about » month ago for his health, but his condition was not thought to be serious. Col. Fitzgerald. was born in New York city in 1819. He early in life became connected with the N Yotk Comuner- cial Advertiser, and in 1847 came to this city and established the Weekly Item. Since then the weekly edition has grown into adaily. Col. Fitzgerald was widely known and leaves several sons, all of whom were engaged with him in the publication of the Item. Col. Fitzgerald died from an attack of the grip. His von Riter was with him and every effort was made to save hislife. but without effect. He was the oldest newspaper man in Philadelphia, being seventy- two years of age. eee WILL TESTIFY FOR DUNCAN. Arrival of Dr. Kempster, the Insanity Expert, in Wales.

How It is Proposed to End the Hat Trim- ming Importers’ Fight. Curcaco, June 25.—The fight between the government and the importers of hat trim- mings over the excessive duties imposed on such goods according to a recent Supreme Court decision is likely to be com- promised by the payment of $5,000,000 by the government to the importers. Percy L. Sherman, one of the the importers, has returned from Washiligton, where he has been for some time engaged in jotiations with Secretary Foster to that end, ‘hen he left there the papers had all been for and all that is necessary to close negotiations is the signature of the Secretary. ‘The suits number over 500 and to settle them all in court would tuke years.

Rossel says: “King’s subdi- vision is being built up with @ very cheap class of frame houses, and I see no way, without.a | special law, to change the subdivision. The people living there have « right to demand equal recognition with others. 1 would recom- mend that both streets be renamed, that they be called places, and the parties ‘owning be asked to suggest names.” {he Comminsioners have approved the recommendation.
