CARDINAL SATOLLL To-night at New Gonzaga College Hall, one of which was laid by Car- his Eminence was tendered rewell reception by the students, the occasion also being the dedication of the new hall The auditorium and gallery, which are of spacious dimensions, were crowded to the fullest extent, and when the Cardinal ered, accompanied by Archbishop nelli, the entire audience rose and eeted them with applause as they passed alonz the ais their way to the stage, and when the curtain arose exhibiting a rden scene, i d with pots of chiys- themams, palms, geraniums and other lowers, with the Cardinal and the Arch- hop clothed in their robes of scarlet d dazzling jeweled insignia, surrounded a number of prominent Catholic clergy- men, appearing as a living center piece, there were renewed demonstrations of favor from the audience, at which both the Cardinal and the Archbishop raised their hats. Grouped about them ¢n the stage were several clerzymen. The function, which was altogether social in its c.aracter, opened with addresses from the students of Gonzaga College, all of which tended in the direction of expressing the great re- gard felt for the Cardinal and mingling grets for his departnre with praise and ‘Welcome for his successor. And when one of the youthful orators, bestowing his meed of praise, alluded to greater honors in the future that may be awaiting the guest of the evening, the Cardinal opened wide his eyes, which had been half-closed in meditation, and with a somewhat sad smile, made a deprecatory gesture at the thought. Father Dow, who delivered the address of the evening, made a speech which was repiete with brillant witticisms and en- tertaining to the clergvmen upon the stage as well as to those in the body of the hall. Several ailusions in his address called fortn marked signs of pleasure from the Cardinal and Archbishop Martinelli, and at the close, Father Rooker arose and spoke for the Cardinal, wno made no remarks himself, — CHOCTAWS BURNED TO DEATH.

Many of the students had their hair singed and were burned about the hands and face, but those named above are the most seriously hurt. a7 oo CRAZED BY EXCITEMENT. Suicide of a Californian After He Had Escaped Death in a Kansas Train Disaster. TOPEKA, Kans.,, Oct. 4.—Locomotive 858, attached to a Santa Fe eastbound passenger train (No. 2), exploded while running at full speed at 4:38 v’clock this morning near the village of Peterton, thirty-one miles west, instantly killing Engiveer S.runk, Fireman 0. H. Hollis- ter and four tramps, injuring two other tramps and frigntening a passenger so badly that he committed suicide by shoot- ing himself through the head with a re- volver. Mrs. Edna B. Maxwell was the only pas- senger injured, although the train was heavily loaaed. C. L. Shirman of Kansas City, a helper in the express-car, was con- siderably bruised by falling boxes. The man who killed himseif is said to be William Beckier. His ticket read “from Los Angeles to Chicago.” He was greatiy excited after the accident, and gave his money and watch to a passenger. He stood around where the men were dig- ging in the wreck for dead bodies, and cried and acted strangely, but finally re- sumed his seat in the car and became | quiet. Suddenly he drew a revolver, and, vlacing the muzzle against his left temple, fired.” He tumbled into the aisle dead, without uttering a word. The mangled remains of the dead were brought here this afternoon. The ill-fated passenger train was about thirty minutes late. A short stop was made at Osage City for water, and then the engineer pulled out for a fast run to Topeka. Ina few minutes the whistle sounded for Peterton, three miles from Osage City. Almost immediately the explosion occurred. The locomotive went to pieces. Engineer Strunk was hurled into the air and fell forty feet from the track. Fireman Hollister was hurled downward and crushed beneath the tender. DIAMOND WATCH DEAL President of the Company Re- pudiates Moore Brothers’ Operations. Examiner Walker Says the Concern Is Not Liable for Notes Issucd Without Authority. CHICAGO, IrL, Oct. 4—A morning paper says: President O. C. Barbor of the Diamond Match Compa in a circular to stockholders which will be issued in the | rext day or two, wilt announce as his opinion that the $798,767 which was used by the Moore Bros. as margins on the 750 shares of stock purchased for the account of the company was iliegally used, and that it is a claim against the Moore Bros. which will be held against them until it is liquidated. President Barbor will send the stockholders a report from Edwin Walker, the new director and general eounsel of the company. Examiner Walker gives it as his opinion that notes issued by the Diamond Match | Company were issued without authority, and that the Moores mav bas held liable for that amount. Mr. Walger also says the Diamond Match Com pany is not and cannot be held to be implicated in any speculative transactions for the Moore Broth-rs, and that the full extent of its liabilities 1s theamount of the notes issued and discounted at the banks. The com- pany, in his opinion, is not bound to take, the stock boug.t in the name of J. K. Robinson, trustee, and for the account of the Diamond Match Company. e FREDERICK COUDERT RETURNS. Says the Venezuelan Commission Is Do- ing Much Toward Bringing About a Settlement. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 4. —Hon. Fred- erick R. Coudert of the Venezuelan Com- mission returned this morning after nearly three months’ abroad, in Paris, in Holland, at The Hague and several weeks at Hamburg, Germany. Coudert’s trip was made partly for recreation, but mainly in connecticn with his duties relative to the Venezuelan matter. In this connec- tion Mr. Coudert said: “I see by the newspavpers that they have completely settled the Venezuelan com- plications, and I know every man on the commission would be satistied if they had been arranged in a manner satisfactory to all parties, but I regret to say that such is not the case. ‘“‘Professor Burr of Cornell has been ex- amining all the records in this controversy and has spent two or three months in Holland. Heis a fine Dutch scholar and has procured the history of the whole mat- ter. Pretty nearly every document that exists on the subject he has seen and studied thoroughly. “He has also examined the records in England. Every facility has been placed at the professor’s command. He has probably concluded, or very nearly con- cluded, his labors by this time, and will be able to make a report at an early date,” Mr. Coudert said he did not know what the report would embrace. “While we have a general knowledge on the subject, there are many facts 0 be disclosed by the report which will be use- ful in bringing avout what we hope will be a successful settlement.’” ki gl Ly THE BULUWAXO EXPLOSIUN, One White Man and Nine Blacks Killed and Thirty-Two Injured LONDON, Exg., Oct. 4 —A dispatch to the Central News from Buluwayvo gives further details of the explosion which oc- curred in that town yesterday, resulting in loss of life and extensive damage to property.

HELD CAPTIVE BY A PADLOCK. Threw the Key Away That He Might Not Escape to Injure Others. CLEVELAND, Ouro, Oct. 4.—Details of a gruesome tragedy in the little town of Hinkley, in Medina County, on Saturday have been received here. Nearly twenty yea:s ago there appeared in Hinkley a stranger of whom nothing was known but his name, which was Bernard Sherman. The inquisitive country folk, after a year or more of curiosity, left the man undis- turbed in the solitude of a decrepit old hovel ‘'which he had rented in the lone- some outskirts of the hamlet. The hut gradually became surrounded by anair of mystery. The dweller rarely visited the village and then only for the necessaries of life, which he seemed 1o have plenty of money to pay for. One night in the early part of last week several boys were silently passing the place when they were terrified by pro- longed and blood-curdling human ravings. The old man was never again seen alive. Afraid of the scoffs of the incredulous the boys held their silence, but the deserted appearance of the oid hut finally attracted attention and an investigation was started. There was only one room in the house, yand when the door was broken in the old man, was found lying dead, chained toa post with a locked chain. The condition of the body told of a death struggle most horrible and the doctors ascribed death to hydrophobia. Just outside the hovel was found the body of a big St. Bernard dog, the sole companion of the recluse, the beast’s death having been cavsed by an ax-wound in the head. The supposition is that-the brute went mad and bit his master. The old man, realizing that death was inevitable, had locked himself in when he felt the madness coming on, chained himself, locked his fetters with a padlock and threw the key away. Buried under the floor of the hovel was found $i3,000 in gold. There was nothing that could shed light on the mystery of his life. In one pocket was found an ocean steamer check from Liverpool datea November 9, 1874, and on the wall hung an oil miniature of 8 woman and a child. The body was given decent hurial, TYNAN STILL IN PRISON.. Unfounded Rumor of His Release—Haines and Kearney Reported Expelled From Holland. LONDON, Exa., Oct.4.—The United As- sociated Pressesis in a position to state that the report circulated last night by J. Tynan, the alleged dynamiter, had been released by the French authorities and that he was on his way to the United States, iy absolutely without foundation. The French officials have not yet decided what disposition shall be made of his case. In the méantime the prison at Boulogne- sur-Mer, where Tynan is confined, is closely guarded by armed police. It is believed that nothing will be done in Tynan’s case until after the Czar leaves France. ROTTERDAM, HoLiaxp, Oct. 4.—The police here refuse to give the slightest in- formauion regarding the release of Kearney and Haines, the two Americans who were arrested here on the charge of complicity in the Tynan dynamite plot. There is scarcely any doubt that the two men were expelled from the country yes- terday, but the police evidently mean to keep secret all the circumstances of their departure. It was stated yesterday that ibey had been escorted to the frontier, but it is possible they were placed on board some steamer bound for America.

The dispatch adds that the leading feature of tbe agreement is the tion of a Chris- tian Zone, on the of the Jewish Pale in Russia, in which security of life and property will be assured the Armenians by all the powers, or some of them, any necessary active operations to be under- taken by Great Britain, France and Rus- sia, and perhaps Italy. The Daily News will to-morrow publish an interview had by its correspondent in Geneva with Garo ana_Hrateh, two of the leaders ot the Armenian refugees. They give a graphic des lon of the recent outbreak in Constantinople, and declare that the revolutionary :‘:z-wu wait for perhaps t:m_ to see whe the powers would act; if they did n::,‘hfi: committee would again write to the em- bassies asking whether they would keep their promises. They professed to have no knowledge of the precise linesof the next upheaval, if such action was neces- sary, but said that it would be terrible. Thev repudiated any animosity against the Turkish nation, saying that they warred only against the Government. ‘When it was proposed last August to set fire to Constantinople they had necatived the proposal because it would have been cruel. They bad supported the plan to attack the Imperial Ottoman Bank in preference to doing anything that would cause suffering to the residents of Con- stantinople. They added that they would not hesitate to kill soldiers and policemen, but would not injure peaceable people. The Government ,they significantly said, might reflect on the scheme for burning Constantjnople: that it mightjhave been more easily effected than the attack on the bank. The Constantinople correspondent of the Chronicle telegraphs that the Ottoman Bank and the representative of the Credit Lyonnaise are sending away large quanti- ties of securities. It is stated that the latter forwarded 1,000,000 francs worth of securities to Paris a few days ago. PER SR e ARMENIAN USURERS BLAMED, The German Embassador to Discusses the Massaeres. BERLIN, GERMANY, Oct. 4 —The Lokal Anzeig'r publishes an interview with Baron Von Saurma-Jeltsch, the German Embassador to Turkey, anent the situa- tion in that country. The Embassador says he does not think that the recent horrors will be soon renewed. The Turks have been somewhat frightened by their own acts, and the decided attitude of the powers has calmed the hotheads. Con- tinuing, Baron von Saurma-Jeltsch de- clares that the demands of the Armenians are unjustifiable and impracticable. They have great freedom in religion and in trade are very prosperous., Their un- scrupulous manner of doing business has stirred up much bad blood between them- selves and the Turks. They have no re- gard for anything oranybody. They haye plundered Turkey for centuries, and are usurers and dishonest deaters. The Turks were only wrong in their manner of crushing the rebellion; that is, in not -distinguvishing the innocent from the gulty. In reality, there was only one revolutionist among a thousand Armen- ians. The leaders of the revolters were mainly ambitions students who had im- bibed revolutionary ideas at Geneva.
