NORTHAMPTON, Mass.,, Dec. 14.—A serious accident occurred at the Norwood Engineering Compsny’s works at 6 o’clock to-night. While the workmen were ‘‘pour- ing off’” in the foundry and had 4500 pounds of melted iron in the heavy ladle, they lost control of it and the hot iron ran out on the men who were working it. ThYee were severely burned—William Driscoll, William Flaherty and John Lap- ping. Flaherty’s condition is serious. All were taken to the hospital. et g COLORADO STOCKS WEAKENED. Millions of Shares Sold During the Past Week. DENVER, Coro., Dec. 14.—Stocks weak- ened along the entire line to-day under a continued desire of many small holders to unload their holdings. The quotations at the close of the week, however, show a general though slight advance over last week’s list. The brokers report a great amount of inquiries from the East witha few orders mostly for the high-priced stocks. The local buying far exceeds the total from without. It is impossible to obtain an authentic estimate of the total sales of the week; probably 7,000,000 shares will be a con: servative zzgregate. | COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Dec. 14.— The weakness of yesterday’s stock market was reflected to only a small extent in to- day’s trading. The list as a rule main- tained a firmer tone. The attempt to bear Consolidated was shortlived, all the stock being quickly absorbed by anxious buyers. The _decline in value is due solely to manipulation by a large holder. The total | sales for the week in this city were 11,- 000,000 shares, representing a cash value of nearly $700,000.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. 14.—About fifty men of all parties, from various parts of the State, met here to-day and organized the Nebraska Silver League. The object of this organization is io wage a decisive campaign in the primariesof the four parties and to nominate candidates in favor of the free coinage of silver. An ex- ecutive committee, consisting of Governor Silas A. Holcomb (Pop.), ex-Congressman ‘W.J. Bryan (D.), ex-Congressman G. L, Law (R.)and W. H. Hardin (Pro.), was appointed. County organizations will be formed in all parts of the State. e GOVERNOR BRADLEY’S AMBITION. Republicans of Kentucky Will Support Him for President. CINCINNATI, On10, Dec. 14.—A special to the Post from Frankfort, Ky., says: Governor Bradley is a candidate for Presi- dent. It seems to be settled beyond ques- tion that he will be indorsed by Kentucky Republicans and missionaries who go to Washington and make the reports to Southern and neighboring Northern States in his behalf. Bradley fills the field with extraordinary prestige, and his managers from the residents of such district a com- | popular branch of the Legislature. Members of the Foreign Affairs commit- tees of both houses hold the opinion that Bayard will ultimately resign. He is a proud, high-spirited man, and though he doubtless ascribes the actions of the House to an excess of party zeal and bitterness, he will not be able to escape the fact that he is discredited as few men have ever been in the role of diplomatic representa- tion of this Government. With any one but Bayard this vote of lack of confidence would be likely to impair his status at the court to which he is accredited, but Bay- ard is very popular in Lor.don, where he is looked upon as the representative of the best there is among American people. A prominent Republican member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said vesterday it was a pity to see such a great and honorable career clouded by an indis- cretion, such as that of which Bayard is clearly guilty. “Itis another object lesson to diplomats the world over,”” he adaded. “All that Bayard said on that occasion he might have said in this country without giving offense to any one. Gentlemen in the diplomatic service must learn that they have not the same right to free speech that other men enjoy. Iam very sorry for Bayard, but bis offense is too great to pass unnoticed.” CALL OF THE POPULISTS, The National Committee to Meet and Select a Conven- tion Site. There Are Yet Two Secretaries of the Party, Owing to the Trouble at Omaha. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., Dec. 14.—Chair- man Taubeneck of the National Committee of the People’s party was here to-day, and, with Treasurer Rabkin, authorized the publication of the following cali: ““At the direction of the executive com- mittee of the People’s party, we hereby call a meeting of the National Committee, to be held at the Lindell Hotel in St. Louis, January 7, 189, at 10 o’clock A. M., to fix the time and place for holding the Na- tional Convention and to transact other business. 1t is desirable that we have a full representation, and we kindly request all to be present.” Thére are {wo secretaries, owing to the trouble at the Omaha convention, when WAS TRULY PITIBLE, German Ministers Failed to Defend Venerable Prince Bismarck. TIRADE OF HERR BEBEL. Slanders and the Wildest Viola- tions of Truth Were Not Refuted. REPRESSION OF SOCIALISTS. Fifty-six Convictions for the Offense of Lese Majeste Within Three Months. BERLIN, GERMANY, Dec. 14.—The cham- ber of the Reichstag was almost empty to- day during the debate on the bill defining and prohiviting illegal competition in transactionson the Bourse, the members’ seats being almost deserted and the specta- tors’ galleries about as meagerly filled. The bill was finally referred to a commis- sion of the Chamber consisting of twenty- one members. To-day’s proceedings were -in marked contrast to the perturbed atmosphere per- vading the House while the Radicals and Socialists attacked the Ministers in regard to the Government’s measures of repres- sion against socialists. these measures, which lasted four days, showed how lamentably defective is the debating power of the occupants of the ministerial benches compared with that The Conservative deputies remained almost mute throughout the discussion, leaving the Ministers to respond as best they could to the brilliant and impassioned ora- Hauss- mann and other leaders of the Socialist and of the members of the opposition. tory of Herren Richter, Busel, Radical parties. The remarks made by General Bronsart von Schellendorf, the Imperial Minister of ‘War, warning the Socialists that the army had not forgotten the insults heapea upon the head of its venerable leader in 1870 and declaring if the police failed to sup- press the Socialists the latter wonld find the action of the army to be no child’s play, was felt even 1n Government circles The character of the general’s remarks, how- ever, enabled Herr Haussmaunn to char- acterize his speech as a tirade suited only to excite applause in regimental mess- rooms and admiration in barrack-yards. 1t was pitiable, too, to see how the Min- isters and their adherents sat stolidly in their seats listening to Herr Bebel without remonstrance as he soiled the memory of Prince Bismarck in connection with the Government’s adoption of the former as an exhibition of coarse invective. Chancellor’s policy against Socialists. Among the many newspaper comments upon this incident, the Boersen Zeitung “Not one of the long row of Ministers rose to rerute Herr Bebel's slanders and his wildest violations says, and justly, too: of the truths of German history. Even when he assails the Germans who have written that history with their blood, it is sorrowful to think that nobody on the Government benches possesses the courage or ability to cope with Herr Bebel in polit- ical combat.” Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, from whom some response was expected, completely ignored Herr Bebel's references to Prince Bismarck, but promptly sprang to his feet to defend Assessor Weihlen, a minor of- ficial in the Foreign Department, when that gentleman’s name was casually men- tioned in connection with the infamous Herr Liest, formerly Chancellor of the Cameroons, in the scandals and outrages which caused Liest’s prosecution and dis- missal. The Foreign Minister boiled over with rage at the attack upon his subordinate, but he allowed his old chief, Prince Bis- marck, to be stigmatized in the open house as a forger of dispatches without raising a word of protest. Except in the case of the Conservative press, the consensus of newspaper opinion becomes more and more opposed to the continuance of the repressive measures against socialists. The Vorwaerts, a lead- ing socialist vaper, publishes a list of fifty- six convictions for the offense lese majeste within the last three months, the persons counvicted including members of the Reich- stag, journalists and even cc?mic singers introdnced allusions to the who have Kaiser in their songs. terance of alleged sonal spite, have caused arrests upon real or spurious charges.

The Commanding General Inspected the School and Post. FORT MONROE, Va., Dec. IL—Qananl Miles passed a busy day inspecting the artillery school and post. He was sta- tioned here thirty years ago and is thor- oughly familiar with its resources. Ad- miral George Brown, commanding th_e Norfolk Navy-yard, accompanied by his staff and a number of officers and ladies from the yards, arrived here at 3 P. M. and called on General and Mrs. Miles at the Hygeia Hotel. A salute was from the fort in honor of the visit. At 4 P.

CHICAGO, ILvL., Dec. 14.—When shown a dispatch to-day from Key West, Fla., stating that a Madrid newspaper charged him with assisting the Cuban in- ::fients financially, George M. Pullman id there was no truth init. It was al- leged that while in Paris Mr. Pullman had met Cespedes, a Cuban chief, and had agreed to aid the insurgents, in return for which he was to receive valuable conces- sions in Cuba in case the rebels were vic- torious. Mr. Pullman said that he had not been in Paris in seven years and did not know Cespedes. —_——— Edward McPherson Dead.

The Frost at the Cooper-Union Meeting Will Check the Visitor's Blatancy. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 14.—The Allen Memorial Church, in Irvington street, was crowded this afternoon by an audience composed chiefly of Hebrews, who came to attend the meeting to protest against Rec- No address was made in Hebrew or by one of that faith, all the speakers being Christians. Dr. Gabelein opened the meeting. He said that those who were present had come to this country at the invitation of its Gov- ernment. “‘We are all American eitizens,” he said, “and Herr Ahlwardt has no more right to come here and persecute us than he has the native-born American of Puritan an- cestry. We have the same rights here as any other citizen, and the Americans will not permit us to be assailed by this man. They will not only refuse to hear him, but you will see that other cities, now that they know what he will say, will refuse to permit him to come there and revile us.” Dr. North read a letter from Dr. Charles Parkhurst, in which he said, among other things: ‘Yt is a matier of deepest regret that I am unable to attend the meeting, but I shall take the privilege of so far coptribut- ing to the occasion as to address you in writing. I have no sympathy with Jew- baiting, and it is my hope that the cold reception accorded to Dr. Ahlwardt at Cooper Union last evening may have the effect to repress and discourage his impu- dent blatancy. He has come to the wrong country for that kind of propagandism. It is part of the American idea to give every man and every nation a fair chance. ‘While I differ in my religious views from the Hebrews, I nevertheless can never for- get it is to them we owe the law. That has been the stronghold of all subsequent civilization. and it is the Hebrew patriarchs and prophets we have to look to as the source of divine revelations, and upon which all later revelations have to rest.” The other speakers made short addresses in much the same strain as thatof Dr. Gabelein, and, like the letter of Dr. Park- hurst, evoked much applause. RELINQUISHED ALL CLAIMS. Harry Hayward’s Father Will Not Profit by Miss Ging’s Death. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixx.,, Dec. 14.—W. ‘W. Hayward, father of Harry Hayward, has relinquished all claim to the $10,000 insurance on Catherine Ging’s life, which was assigned to him by his son. This action is taken as an admission that Mr. Hayward Sr. is convinced of bis son's guilt. Julia Ging, sister of the murdered women, has made a claim for the insur- ance money, but the insurance people will probably contest payment on the ground that the policies were assigned to Hayward. ASSIGNMENT OF A BANKER. The President of Several Financial Institu- tions at Richmond Forced to the Wall. RICHMOND, Va., Dec, 14.—James B. Pace, the well-known banker, made an as- signment this afternoon. The liabilities are placed at about $200,000. The assets are not given, but are thought to be ample to meet all of his obligations and leave a very considerable balance. Besides being president of the Planters’ National Bank, the Virginia Trust Com- pany and the Columbian Building and Loan Association, Mr. Pace was largely in- terested in many other industries here, as well as having important busiress interests in the North, West and South. None of the institutions with which he is connected will be in_any way impaired by his mis- fortune. Mr. Pace had transferred to the bank some of his most valuable property in settlement of the $253,705 73 debt to that institution. Before the assignment deed was filed Mr. Pace sent in his resignation as presi- dent of the bank, building and loan asso- ciation and the trust company. e e Earnings of the Santa Fe.
