" THE OMAH! SIXTEENTH( YEAR. EFFECTUALLY DISPOSED OF. Gladstone Does Away With the Tory Cant About Irish Obstruction. HIS GREAT SPEECH AT SWANSEA. Donovan Leaps From London Bridge Into the Thames in Honor of the Queen's Jubllee Year— Foreign News, Gladstone’s Speech at Swansea. (Copyright 1657 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnox, June 6, 4a. m.—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to the Bee.|—It was everywhere, in liberal clubs and home rule circles, claimed that Mr. Gladstone, in his great speech at the Swvansea monster meet- Ing, attended by fully 100,000 people, has effectually disposed of the tory cant about Irish obstruction in parliament. Doubtless the Herald readers will be gratified to have this short verbatim report of what Gladstone gaid. Speaking of the coercion bill he said: “When this so-called gigantic engine of ob- struction came in the way, when the first clause came betore the commons it consisted of twenty-four lines: when it passed through the committee stage ithad nearly 120 lines. ‘What does that show? Why, that the govern- ment did not know how to draft nor conduct their bill. It shows that so many faults were hit, su many weak points discovered, 50 many gaps had to be dealt with, that with all their magnificent majority of 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 they were oblige to let the cause expand from thirty-four lines into something like four times that number. 1 have had a great deal todo with legislation; Ihave been responsivle for carrying what may be called heavy bills through the house, perhaps, than any man now living, but 1 do not recollect ever having introduced a bill of any kind with clauses so badly constructed that a clause of thirty-four lines should, be- foreit was passed through the committee, have swollen to 100. The reasons why business is delayed Is because those who are doing it do not know how to do it. I do not mean to say there have been questions where half an hour or one hour’s discussion might have been dispensed with, but can you be sur- prised that the members for Ireland should be zealous, be cautious to scrutinize with the eye of a lynx every line, every word of a bill of this kind when not only are they threatened with coercion while the eauses which formerly led to coerclon do not exist—but when they are also insulte d by having the proposal to parliament of a per- petual coerclon bill for Ireland.” That his answer, or the whole speech, a full report of which occuples seven columns in the Daily News, is felt to be strong bythe morning tory newspapers, is proved by their denun- clations of it. The consideration of the Irish crimes bill will be resumed in the house of commons to-morrow, when clause 8, which provides for the trial of certain cases by a special jury, will be proceeded with. Donovan’s Latest Leap. |Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNDON, June 5—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the BEr.]—When old St. Paul’s and a dozen churches near the Thames at London bridge were ringing half-past 1, Donovan leaped from it into the river, the probability of which occurrence was yester- day cabled. He was accompanied to the parapet by J. Gaiger, his trainer, and about halt a dozen members of the East London athletic club, He was dressed in a black frock coat, waistcoat and trousers, round hat and undercoat and waist- coat and flannel undervest. ‘“These are the identical things L wore when I made leaps from Brooklyn and Niagara Falls suspension bridges,” sald Donovan. ‘When he got to the center of the bridge he placed his hands on the parapet where it is about seventy feet from tide-water and stood for a few moments, then jumped, holding his hands over his head, and dropped as stralght as if on an nary line into the Thames, striking the water feet first. ‘L went under to a depth of sixteen feet,” he said to me afterward. It was a short time before he reappeared, then he swam strongly for 200 yards towards the boat, which brought him to the Swan pler, near by, where I met him with a great crowd. Ie seemed none the worse for his exertion. Two city policemen now ap- peared, intent on arresting him, but Donavan showed them a medal which was pinned to lis breast, and said, ‘It is not a case of sulcide, It is no use to arrest me. Iam the champion rider and swimmer of America.” ‘The police released him and the crowd cheered. He walkea away in his dripping wearing apparel, attended by his friends. Hesald: “Idoneitin honorof the jubiles year, I intend doing Clifton bridge, which 18 about a 200 feet drop, but do not wish the date published else I way be stopped. I feel as well as I did before I took the jump and would do the same to-morrow only I galn nothing by it. I consider it one of the eagiest leaps I ever done. This jump 1s in distance half the one from Brooklyn bridge and about a third less the leap from tne Niagara suspension bridge,” He is liable to be fined under the old regulations affect Ing bridies, A “Plan of Campaign"” Victory. [Copuright 1857 by James Gorv.on_Bennelt.] QUEENSTOWN, June 5 .—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber|.—Mr. O’ Brien, on his return, will be met with the an- nouncement that the “plan of campaign” has scored a victory on the Ponsonby es- tates by the landlord's acceptance of the terms offered by the tenants, scores of whom were evicted within the past fortnight. Om- inously enou:h, the tenantry of Ponsounby were the first to adont the plan of campalgn. It wason their account that Father Keller ‘was incarcerated, and on this estate yonng O'Hanlan was killed. The victory for the plan is regarded as of the greatest import- ance, because this landlord has been sup- ported by the Landlords Defense union and Orango clubs in resisting-the tenautry, e ‘A Small Fine.

He is Denounced By Some and Up- held By Others. Nrw York, June 5.—At a meeting of the Fifth ward branch of the Irish National league to-day, Ex-Senator Grady made an address, in which he strongly commended Editor O'Brien for refusing to attend the mass meeting last night. Grady said Ire- land’s cause should be mixed up with no other question. Religious prejudices had formerly separated the Irish people. That had - passed forever. No other conflicting element should be allowed to come in. He was loudly applaudes O’'Brien, in his statement of his aealings with the committee of arranzements, says he accepted the invita- tion #olely on condition that theaction should be directed to the service of the Irish cause, and should in no manner Increase the difficulties of the Irish people, Iready sufliciently cruel, by embroiling us in Amer- ican issues and thus estrangine thesympathy of the American people, which is one of the sheet anchors ot our success.” He also says that the committee first brought him resolu- tions to amend as he saw fit and agreed to change the presiding officer (Menlxcknn? in accordance with his objection. They did not come to him acain until Saturday evening. when he learned that the resolutions could not be chanzed and that the objectionable chairman should preside. He then declined to alter his determination. A stormy session of the Central labor union was held to-dav. John McMackin made an address denouncing Editor O’Brien for his action for refusing to attend the mass meeting last night. McMackin said he would hot lower the flag at the command of ecclesiastical power or corrupt politicians. If Catholics were to be controlled by foreign power there would be good cause for the sneer that they were not itizens. Resolutions were adopted denounc- ditor O'Brien for his action. O’Brien has received numerous telegrams congratulating him upon the course he took in regard to the parade last night. Being in- terviewed to-day he said: “I have not the smallest appreliension that the Irish nation- alists will misunderstand my action. They know how many maliguant enemies are watching every word or act of ours in order to torture them into weapons against ~Gladstone and Parnell. I am satisfied they will also feel I have acted under a painful and solemn sense of responsibility to our great leader, Parnell, and from the conviction any other course would have brought utter destruction of the movementata moment when the opinion of millions of Engiish people is trembling in the balance and when the most unscrupulous devices are being used against us.” Mr, O'Brien was astounded at_the statement from the platform in Union Square that he had scratched out the resolu- tion referring to Dr. McGlynn. The resolution submitted by the comittee contained no al- lusion, direct or indirect, to the MecGlynn case, and the only reference was the state- ment that MeGlynn was to be present and speak and to that arrangement he had no ob- {eclinn. Mr. O'Brien added: ‘‘As to he insulting suggestion that I was cap- tured by Tammany hall and other American politician, I can only say that if any Ameri- can politician had been geilty of the remot- est attempt to influence my Yudzment in the direction of urvln§ Amerlcan party inter- ests, 1 should have known how to resent it. 1should have resisted any such attemptas surely as L felt obliged to resist the attempt to identify us with the particular organiza- tion by which the parade was conducted.” The Irish Editor Benounced. NEw YORK, June 5.—At a largely attended meeting of the anti-poverty society to-night Dr. McGlynn was the principal speaker. In the course of his remarks he said that O’'Brien probably did not know before whu John McMackin was, but he knew to-day. O'Brien ought to be ashamed of himself for screening the resolution that the land belongs to the ?eogle. O’Brien is a landlord at heart himself. It is only a uestion of a small percentage between 'Brien and Lansdowne. The speaker sald: “When our friends discovered they could do nothing with O'Brien they de. termined to go on and give him a dose of coercion. “I'hey were going to send their own reeting to Ireland and not what O'Brien hought. We thought the coercion clause would displease O’Brien and some ot his ill- advisers.” McMackin made a speech, in which he said he had only contempt for a man who would goad men to acts of violence. — - CUBANS AND SPANIARDS. The 11l Feeling Existing Between the Two Nations. New York Commercial Advertiser: “Cu- bans hate Spaniards,” sald a Spanish gen- tleman recently, “and do all in their power to show hostility to us. They look upon us as their masters and oppressors who hold the whip over their heads and only await a favorable opportunity to lash them with it. It is true that they are largely em- loyed in Spanish houses here, but they are Pm.clwrous employes, and will try, on the slightest pretext linaginable, to create dissatis- faction and trouble among their fellows. They think we regard them with suspicion and enmity. but such is not the case. We enter- tain no ill-feeling against them whatever, and treat them just as well as we treat our own countrymen. ln many cigar factories owned by Spaniards two-thirds of the men employed are Cubans, and yet they accuse u3 of discriminating againstthem and of mklnq the bread out of their mouths in favor of Spaniards. ‘They are forever striking and enmnelllnF their ewployers to shut down, thus seri- ously injuring their business, and in some instences it has been found neces- sary to remove factorles to distant parts of " the country. I recall one instance of this. A prominent Spanish firm of cigar manufacturers was obliged to remove the fac- tory trom Mew York to Tampa, Fla. A week ago one of the foremen in the factory, a Spaniard, was murdered by some of the Cubans employed in the shop, and another was given twenty-four hours’ notice to leave or be shot, and now the firm expects every day to hear that the book-keeper down there has either been threatened or killed. But the most exasperating thing about the matter is that as soon as a Cuban becomes too poor or too lazy to work and take care of bimself here, he 2oes to some charitable in- stitution managed by Spaniards, the race he hates, and asks to be sent back to Cuba. Americans, too, entertain strange notions In respect to Spanish character. They look upon us s & nation of cut-throats and assas- sins, and class us with the dangerous Ital- fans. Do you suppose an American jury would acquit a rlnilm of murder, how- ever justiiable? do not. U admit that Spaniards are quick-tempered and rash, but they seldom commit crime, as u little thought on the subject will show. The Spaniards here are orderly and industrious, and con- trol vast business interests in this city, B The Chances in Favor of the Gun. ‘WASHINGTON, June 5.—|Special Telegram to the Bre.1—1t is reported to-day that the injury to the new ten-inch steel rifled can- non is not so great as was feared at first and that the chances now are that the damage can be revaired and the gun saved.

Weather Crop Bulletin, WAsHINGTON, June 5.—Following Is a synopsis of the crop bulletin for the week ending June 4: Temperature—During the week ending June 4 the weather has been cooler than the average for a week in all the agricultural districts east of the Rocky moun- tains. ‘The temperature for the season from January 1 to June 4 differs shightly from the normal temperature in the northern states. Rainfall—During the week the rainfall has been znnprnllY in axcess in the states east of the Mississippi river. A slight deliciency of rainfall for the week is reportea in the upper Mississippi_valley, Minnesota, lowa, Dakota and Nebraska. Numerous and well distributed showers occurred throughout the grain regions of the northwest, which appear to have at- fected crops in those seetions favorably. The weather during the week has apparently proved favorable for growing erops. Needed rains have occurred throughout the wheat and gorn regions excepting in portions in l1linols, Missouri and lowa, where light showers have occurred, and telegraphic reports received this morning show that showers have occurred during the past eight hours in the states above named. s THE CLEARANCE RECORD.

More Money Needeu. Drs Morxks, Ia, June 5—{Speclal to the Beg.|—The State Temperance alliance has issued from the headauarters in this city an appeal to the churches of Towa for help in prosecuting the trial of Haddock’s murderers, 1t is stated that in the last trial the prosecu. tion was seriously hampered by lack of funds to secure counsel and witnesses, and that the only possibie chance for success in the coming trials is in being able to procure the best legal talent possible, and all of the witnesses necessary. Althouzh there Is a good deal of feeling that Sioux City and Woodbury county ought to take care ot this trial and secure justica without the assistance of the rest of the state, yet it is also felt that the interestg of the entire temperance cause are at stake, and every temperance man is concerned indirectly in the verdict. So itis proposed to ask from each church organiza- tion in the state a contribution of $2 tor the Haddock fund, and if an average of this amount Is collected, the prosecution will be well prepared to enter the next trial and hope to be able to secure the conviction of the murderers. A DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL BOOM. The gubernatorial campaign has opened rather early and ratber lively so far as the democrats are concerned. Some of the papers had been talking about Captain Melrll". of Clinton, as a candidate, and suggesting that if he had been nominated two years ago in- stead of Cugpv:rhend Whiting, the result would have been different. It really began to look as if & Merrill boom were under way, and if once fairly started there was notelling how much grief it might have for the other candidates, So, to keep it off, the friends of ex-Congressman Frederick, “Our Ben,” as he is lovingly called by his neighbors of Mar- shalltown.” started & counter boom in the shape of a formal m“lest for him to become nrnr\mdnle. to which he responded in the usual wayy expressing his reluctance, of course, to enter politics again, but 1n view of his duty to the public and his party he would accept their very complimentary request to become a candidate, ete,, ete. ‘The “request” contains forty odd signatures, representing sowe fitteen counties, but the lack of names of leading democrats with a state reputa- tion is very noticeable, The most of the names seem to be those of green- backers or obscure democrats, but they will do for starting a boom just as well as Any others, ‘The main thing 1s to give “Our Ben” achance to aunounce himself, and for that purpose a very slight provocation i3 sufti- cient. It is “evident that there is tobea lively struggle for the democratic nomina- tion, not because of m‘fi' expectation that the nominee will be elected, but for the prestige and influence with the present administra- tion that the leader of this party will thus have. The friends of Captain Merrill feel very sore that he was snubbed by the bour- bons two years azo, and they are quite likely to insist that this is the party’s olumrtunily to atone for its mistake then. The friends of Frederick point to the fact that heisa “good fellow,” clever’ with the ‘‘boys,” an industrious worker fot his friends, and what 18 generally called ‘‘a rustler,”” and so the; are confident that he should be nominated, Consequently there are lively times ahead for the democer ‘The republicans will un- doubtedly nominate Governor Larrabee, and 50 are not worrying at all about didates. TRAINS ORDERED DISINF] D, ‘The report of the existence of contagious disenses in large cities outside the state, and the danger to which travelers are exposed by exposure to germs of diseases In the cars, have led the board of railroad commissioners to make a very sensible and appropriate order. ‘Lhey haveissued an order that all Iowa trains running between Chicago and Council Bluffs shall be thoroughly disinfect- ed at either terminal upon arriving at such points, Corrosive sublimate, which as a germicide, is to be svrinkled upon the floor followed by a solution of menthol, and while the train is in motion the closets are to be treated every hour toa dose of “solution No. 27 It is infended by this means to keep the cars thoroughly disinfected all the time, and so far as lowa " is concerned, give travelers the largest measure of protection possible against exposure to the germs of contagious disease. GETTING BACK STATE LANDS. ‘The reversal of several unearned railroad land-grants is beginning to bring its benelits to lowa. The governor bas received from the land department at Washingtou a patent for 600 acres of land which were oricinally given to the state under act of congress of May 12, 1364, The land was assigned to the state to be given as a grant for a railroad from McGregor to Sheldon. But as the title never rested properly in a railroad company it now reverts to tho state, and under an act of the seventeenth general assembly it will go to the claimants who are occupyingz it in 0od faith, under proyisional patents from the state. The lands lie in Humboldt and Kossuth counties in northwestern Iowa, a part ot the state in which there are several other unearned railroad grants, which are in time expected to be thrown open to the public for settlement or to go to the claim- ants now oceupying tnem. IDLENESS AND DISEASE. A valuable line of inquiry and Investiga- tion has beeu started by the secretary ot the state board of health, e has '.\}mlied to the commissioner of labor statisties for informa- tion tending to show the relation between idleness and labor disturbances and the pub- lic health, His theory is that protracted strikes and the enforced idleness resulting therefrom produces many diseasesdependent upl)n_[iuneml debility and depressed mental conditions. The man who is worrying about his employment, or who is out of work and troubled to find employment 18 much more liable to contract epidemics and infectuous disease and less likely to rcover from them than the man who is free from such caves, It may be pussible to trace a direct relation between a strike and general sickness in the community, so that there will be figures to show how much sickness and possibly how many deaths are due to a given strike or lock- out. - When that is done, the men who are re- sponsible for the disturbance can be con- fronted with a terrible respousibility Tor far-reaching consequences, Then before a strike Is otdered the leaders may have to say how many lives they are willing to imperil thereby. A VETERAN KICKS ON CLEVELAND, There is a lively commotion just now in “Grand Army circles over the nvitation of President Cleveland to_attend the national encampment in St. Louis in September. General J. M. Tuttle,department commander of the G. A. R, for lowa, returned yesterday from St. Louis. He had been down to secure quarters for the lowa boys, and while there he 1nvestigated the whole affair. He was very indignant that an invitation had been sent to Mr. Cleveland in the name of the G. A, R., and he declared that the old soldiers of lowa would never submit to having the veto president there to review them. The general 18 a bluff old soldier of the old school, laconie, emphatie, and mightily plain spoken, He punctuates his remarks with an emphasis that makes the air tremble. When he i3 thoroughly aroused as he was at St. Louls, he speaks right out in meeting, no matter whom it hits. According to reports he warmed up the St. Louis committee for hnvlni assumed, in the name of the G. A, R., to invite Mr. Cleveland to be their guest. He told them that if the president came there under sucn auspices, the lowa old soldiers would stay away. T'he G. A. R., he declared, had heretotore kept politics outof their organization, and this scheme for etting Cleveland at St. Louis at the time of e encampment, he told them, was a demo- cratic_plot to help along his boom fora second term. The old soldier is dreadfully in earnestabout it, and since bis return he says the Grand Army of Iowa, lilinois, Nebraska and Kansas will never consent to being a party to any such scheme, least of all to help along a president who has insulted every old iwr in the eouutry and called the G A, R made up of paupers and wmeni- | cants. Ho proposes to make it s lively for the St. Louls committee that in the languace of the song, “They’ll have to make other ar- rangements.” CANDIDATES FOR THE BENCIT, ‘There is an interesting contest going on for the seat on the district bench made vacant by the death of Judge Rogers, ot Davenport. Davenport is in Scott county, an anti-prohibition stronghold, and the bar of that county and the districta well have recommended for the appointment Hon. Charles M, Waterman, of Davenport. He is the choice of the anti-prohibition repub- licans, while the strong anti-prohibitionists, whose headquarters are at Muscatine, have recommended ex-Judge Richmond, of that Delegations representing both candi- visited the governor in their in- The Muscatine people, who are sort of rabid on the subject of Seott county, de- clare that Waterman’s appointment would never do. The Scott county people, who haven’t a consuming love for Muscatine county, declare that nu man from that locality will do. ~ Althouzh they all live in a democratic district, the Davenport people say that 1f Waterman IS appointed to serve the balance of the term, they can then elect him by his personal popularity for the tull term. The Muscatine crowd, who arciafraid that he will not enforee prohibition enongh to suit them, threaten what they will do it he is chosen. And so the fight grows warm. Itis so seldom that the republicans in a democratie district get a chance at an office that, as in this case, they are all very much ex ised over who shall fill it. b ol THE WEEK IN WALL STREET, Holidays Cut Down the Week to Four Days and a Half, NEW YORK, June 5.—|Special Telegram to the Ber.)—With a full holiday on Mon- day and a half holiday, the week in Wall street was a very short one, and while there have been some features of interest in share speculation, generally speaking events were far from being Important. Now and then there were spurts or activity in parts ot the List, but outside of these quietness prevailed for the most part. The room traders had things pretty much all to themselves, and outside dealings, at least such of them as were of any magnitude, were directed to comparatively few shares, Reading was a striking case in point, and on large foreign buying, heavy payments by stockholders on account of first assessment, a gain in earn- ings for April in excess of previous expecta- tions, and the prospeet of a settlement with the Schuylkill Navigation was conspicuous for activity, and at intervals had considerable influence on the market. Jersey Central and Lacka- wanna likewise attractea much attention and both sold than for some time past. “The rise in Jersey Central was equal to about 3134 points, b tin other coalers and usual Iy active stocks was much less, As the week ore along the room trades switched over to the bear side and commenced a vigorous raid, in which they were assisted by Cammack and some other operators, Special drives were made against a number of stocks, notably Fort Wonjh and Pacitie Mail, the former breaking 57¢ and the latter 45 points, with the effect o1 temporarily demoralizing specu- Iation and bringing about a gencral reaction. ‘I'his. movement was short lived, being quick- ly followed by covering and the market re- gained much of its loss. Moderate buying By London and Chicago and favorable rail- way traflic returns tor the last week of May helped alonga late rally. The specialties were strong and week in spots,but wide fluctuation were thie exception rather than the rule. The course of affairs indicated a preponderence ot sentiment in favor of the bull side, but the market is a very narrow one and there Is a lack of leaders for long account, hence it can- not sustaln any prolonged rise. On the other hand, in consequence ot the sentiment just al- luded to, the bears were unable to keep prices down for any length of time, and if anything, are more timid than the b Between these opposing elemen ion has ae- quired a fitful and s ic char: condition which is not ¢ the outside public. Operations in railroad bonds were on a very moderate scale and the market presented few features of import- ance. Governments ruled firm and prices changed but little either way.

When the storm was at its height an immense volume of water came down, suddenly swelling to a razing torrent the little creek whick flows through the town, The stream rose several feet within a tew minutes, filling cellars and in many cases driving the people to the upper stories of their dwellings. One house was floated from its foundation and havoc was played in lumber yards. Three hundred feet of the Lalke Shore railroad track was washed away and a gflsmluzvr train was stopped. The flood subsided almost as quickly as it came, The damage will probably amount to $20,000. ——————— Rilled By Indians, BENSON, Ariz, June 5.—William Diehl, herding cattle near Crowley’s ranch, sixty miles north of Benson, on the San Pedro river, was killed by Indians Friday after- noon, John Seanlan, also on the ranch, de- fended himself and escaped.

Bruner & Co.’s wholesale drug house and Ed Nathan, clothier, were destroyed by fire this mornine. lLoss on former, £40,000; insurance, 000. Nathan’s loss, §:20,000; in Spout, rance, $17 e L Swindling at Monte Carlo, Says the Paris correspondent ot the Lon- don Telegraph: The croupier who acted as accomplice to the persons who lately won the sum of 300,000 franes, or £12,000, from the tables at Monte Carlo has been tried by what is called the higher tribunal of Monaco. The name of the accused is Gardani, and he isa young man of good antecedents. Great in- dignation is caused among the numerous denouncers of the gambling tables because the authorities of Monte Carlo did not bring forward independent witnesses. It is even asserted that the persons who bribed the croupier to allow them to put the extra cards on the trente-et-quarante table are thoroughly well known, Gardani, however, was offered up as the victim, the managers of the casino being said to be afraid of revelations and scandals if others were proceeded against. Be this as it may, the report of the trial 13 amusing, if not instructive read- ing. 'The vresident (M. de Lattre), for in- stance, accused Gardani of having once be- fore been caught using a packet of prepared cards, The prisoner admitted the fact, but added that the managers of the easino had told him not to say a word about the matter, and had even increased his pay. In his de- tense Gardani energetically protested that he did not know prepared cards were used when the 800,000 francs were won. ~ He continued to “cut” with complete good faith until the bank broke. The advocate general con- tended that the cards were and thumbed with use, and that dani could not have helped notieing this. Gardani was eventually condemned to eizhteen months’ imprisonment. A curious feature of the trial was the usual “re@onstruction” of the machinery of the crime in court. This con- sisted in a game of trente-et-quarante, which was played for the benelit ot the tribunal by the manager of the casino and his croupiers, A TRAIN WRECKER JAILED, A Wealthy Ranchman Arrested For Placing Raitls on the Track.

Nearly Two Hundred New Buildings Erected in Eight Months, Charleston News and Courier: Strangers who visit Charleston at this time will find very few evidences of last year's “'shake’ ex- cept in the improved appearance of the houses, the number of new buildings going up on all sides, with here and there a mag- niticent ruin like that of the Hibernian hall, which In the eyes of much-traveled northern tourists so closely resembles the ruins of Pompeii that It seems almost a pity to re- build it. 1t will be borne in mind that over halt a million dollars so generously and promptly contributed by the big-hearted American people has been spent in repairing the houses of those property owners In the city who were unable to repair their own property. T'his amount represents, perhaps, about one-tenth of the loss inflicted on the city ; the commonly received estimate being that between 85,000,000 and 6,000,000 will be required to repair all the damace so far as it can be repalred. The amount spent nas been divided out among the material men, mechanics and others who are concerned in such work, Thatit has been productive of ulmcll'l'gum.l to the community there can be no doubt., But there is another view of the sublect which suggests actual progress outside of earthquake influences and = consequences. The statement that the city, during the eight months that haye elapsed since the earth- uake, has actually made a great stride in the direction of new buildings would seen to be scarcely credible, but it is borne out by offi- cial fisures, They are taken from tho books of the city nssessor, and show that since Oc- tober 1, 18 ermits have been issued for the erection of 163 new buildings In the city ata cost of 153,525, Of these new buildings not over a dozen at the outside were erected to replace buildings destroyed in the earth- quake, for it will be remembered that, while very few buildings in the city escaped seri- ous damage, very few were entirely de- stroyed, outside of those consumed ‘in the four fires of the eventful night of the 31st of August. —— MOBBED THE MINISTER, A New Jersey Revivalist Given a ‘Warm Reception. Special Telegram to the BEE. |—The revivalist Mnason, whose meetings at Park Ridge, N. J.,attracted great attention because of his violent language and the subsequent ducking hegot for calling a cltizen a prinee of the devil, was mobbed 1ast night for further preaching azainst the wishes of Park Ridge citizens, 'The death of Mrs, Storms owing to excessive religious ex- citement there has aroused people opposed to Mnason, and when they learned that Mrs, Storms’ daughiter was under the same in- fluence they laid In wait for Mnason. In his sermon last night he referred to the fact that Mrs. Storms lost her reason before death and said many others had become crazy under his preaching and ‘were going crazy because they were bound by the devil. ‘The mob outside, informed by those who could hear Mnason talk, deter- mined to wreak their vengeance on him. As soon as Mnason started for home after the close of the meeting the crowd followed. Mnason walked ahead with some of his fol- lowers just behind him. Persons in the crowd following asked Mnason why he did not leave the people in the place aione, and receiving no answer, began to pelt him with stones. ~ As he passed a well situated near tho road two buckets of water were showered upon him. His only answer to these cold favors was “Praise the Lord. Amen, Hal- lelujah.” The crowd closed in upon the church people, and, getting between Mnason and the others, knocked the former down in ditch, The only answer to this upon the part of the prosecutéd was their beginning to sine the hymn, “All hail the power of Jesus’ name” Mnason finally escuved. t 30 —— Yellow Fever at Rey West.

He found that treasure to the extent of over £5000,000 sterling had been accumulated in pits and wells sunk in the floors of vaults in palace ~Lenana. The vaults are situated partially under ground, dnyu‘gm being admitted” through narrow openings in whe walls, After removing the earth to a depth of six feet the workmen uncovered a siiooth, level pavement of large flagstones, Wlhen those were lifted they came upon asquare pit, filled to the brim with littering silver, There were several sueh pits, two or three of them containing jewels, but the majority contained each about fifteen Iakhs of Gwa- lior y rees In each pit was a copper plate, on wfi eh was_engraved the amount of the contents and the nanie of the oflicial who placed it there. Asarule, only the freshly- coined rupees had been buried, and Uk cret had been intrusted to a few confidentl servants. ‘The money was dug upin Mr, Westland’s presence and shoveled into bay which were seut to the Caleutta mintin in- stallments of eizhty lakhs each, NUMBER 3853 SCORE ONE FOR THE OMAHAS; The Home Team Wins the Last Game q’ the Series. THE SCORE ENTIRELY TOO LARGE Heavy Batting Characterizes the Cons test-Jack Kilrain Declared *‘Cham- vion of America" (?) — Other Sporting Events, Couldn't Help But Win 1¢, Two thousand people demonstrated thelr love for base ball under any and all eircum- stances, by sitting two hours in sweltering heat yesterday afternoon and watching an indifferent display of still more indifferent skill In the game. The Omaha’s won the contest, after a succession of loosely Gelded innings by their opponents and by some creditable batting toward the last, by a score of 16 to 10. The diference between 10and 16, —0—, was exactly the number of scores which the Leavenworth's allowed the home club to run in on them at the very start. Men went to bases on balls in one, two, three order, and then a strong two base hit started the steeple chase around the diamond. Barston played in Walsh’s stead and Krehmeyer for Harter. Salisbury pitched lazily during the first tive innings, He was not pounded s -lfinmu\ly a8 would have been supposed from the apparent slow= ness of his balls, but the Leavenworths had 10 trouble in running bases on his deliberate delivery, and to secure the first base meant, for these innings, an almost tn}unlly sure pos- session of the second. On the fifth inning ho was sent into the right field and Swift, who had not pitched before this season, was viaced in the box. ‘The Omaha backers among the audience were displeased with the experiment and yelled for Bartson vocifer- ously, while they hissed Swift. In threa minutes the hisses were changed to cheers, and at the conclusion of the sixth inning the congratulatory calls made him lift his cap. ~ lle proved to be a mountain howitzer. If his balls lacked anything of skews and curvesand drops they more than compensated for it In the terrifio speed which his long, sinewy arm gave them. There was no more foolishness about run ning to second base, and during the four in- nings he pitched only a total of four balls were batted by the Leav- enworths. ‘The possibie difliculty with Swift would be to find a catcher who could hold his balls for nine innings, al- though Krehmeyor caught him, errorless, while he was pitching yesterday. It appenred to be Swift's day all around, ‘as he bit for a aser in the seventh inning and it in two scores besides his own, which he obtained on an excusable wild throw from the field. Gening distinguished himself by making & phenowmenal running eatch in center field in the fourth when a score depended on it. ‘The best tielding play of the day, all things consldered, was by the Leavenworths, One Omaha batsman ~“was out; another gained second base on a hit: Kreimeyer struck to shortstop; shortstop fielded to Tirst base put- ting krehmeyer out; first base fielded to third base, but the ball did not reach third until Dwyer who was running from second had passed it and made a desperate dash for home; and the ball was then fielded to the plate, catching Dwyer out.
