Tie meeting was ealled to order in a Cloak room at the rear of a large ball, with Mr. James A. Ross, ot Pailadelphia, in the chair; R. W. Toompson, of Indjana, « ficiated as secretary. R.G. Still, of Penn- s}lvanie, was named as permaveut chairman. Several letters of regret were presented. Ove of these was trem Recorder C. 4.3 Taylor. It was said that Mr. Taylor visited the building early in the evening, and su filing the battle decided that diseretion was the better part of v lor. Tne assembly refused to allow his letter to be read, because one of the members said that its three pages coatained ovly one senience that was not personal A'l the letters, therefoe, were laid | upon the tabie. Mr. Ross made a strong stand | for order in the weeting, but he Was overwhelmed.

Mr. Ross’ speech was fall of oratorical harmouy, but it failed to luspire peace. When he had fia- ished the war notes were sounded in earnert and some of the far-see- ing ones sent for the officers of the p-lice. Sergt. Keefe, with Officers O’Brien and L-e, respouded and remained on duty in the building the remai:der of the evening. Finally a committee was chosin to prep ire an address. Remarks favoring harmony in the rapks were made by Lawyer A. A. Mossell, of Philadelphia; Rev. R. W. Christian, of Kentucky; Lawyer L W. Palies and Lawyer J. W. Ross, of New York. The aidress, which was adopted, assert ed that the meeting was called f r the purpose of harmonizing the alleged factions in theic ranks, and that it was the wish of the meeting to demonstrate to the public that there is unanimity of sentimeat and purpose among the negro Democrats. The address stated the reason why the members of the ass mb!y were Dewocratr, and eulogizsd Presideut Cleveland as the recognized head of the whole party. I: represented the necessity ot a division of tbe negro vote, in- dorsing, aiso, the President’ Alawai:an policy and the repval of the Sherman silver law.

London, Dec. 31.—The British bark Osseo was wrecked in a gale at Holy- head yesterday morning, and with her perished her entire crew of twenty-six men. The Osseo was driven ashore tack of the Holyhead breakwater. Her signals of distress were first heard by the coast guard about 4 o’clock in the morning. At that time it was pitch dark, and great waves were washing over the breakwater. In spite of the danger of being washed into the sea, the guard proceeded along the break- water, and, having rigged up the rock- et apparatus, began firing life lines in the direction of the wreck. The faint light of the rockets soon disclosed the fact that the vessel had broken in two amidships, and that the main mast had fallen, crushing the lives out of several of the crew. A few survivors could be seen clinging to each half of the vessel, and their piteous cries for heip could be heard above the roar of the storm. After many failures the coast guard succeeded in firing a line over the wreck, but by that time all on board had perished. A lifeboat vainly tried again and again to ap- proach the wreck. Not a vestige of the bark could be seen to-day, and there is no prospect of any salvage. The Osseo was a bark of 1,399 tons. She arrived at Falmouth on December 15 from Taltal, and had been ordered to | Anderson. Reports of stormy weather ; continue to be received from all parts of Europe. Numerous small wrecks and casualties are reported in Great Britain and Ireland. Many lives were saved by lifeboats. A severe gale is blowing on the Baitic, and navigation is suspended at Copenhagen. PARKHURST DISSATISFIED. An Understanding Between Lexow and Supt. Byrnes. New York, Dec. 31.—In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Dr. Park- hurst was asked: “Have you an idea from reading the testimony of Supt. Byrnes inat’there was « previous un- derstanding between the Superinten- dent and the Lexow Committee?” He replied: “There is not the slightest doubt about it. In fact, I am free to say that I knew some time ago that there was an understanding between the committee and Mr. Byrnes. I am not prepared to say that Mr. Goff had any knowledge of it, but the under- standing involved the manner in which Mr. Byrnes was to be treated. Just what the understanding was I decline to state, but I knew that Byrnes was not to be badly damaged. I first made up my miind that there was an under- standing when I heard that Byrnes was supplying the committee with in- formation. My sentiments in regard to Mr. Byrnes are the same now as they always have been. I have been fighting Mr. Byrnes three years, and he has been fighting us, and I am firm- ly of the conviction that if I care for the safety of our organization I can- not afford to become allied with the enemy in any way, shape or manner. I look upon Supt. Byrnes as a consti- uent part of a system that is corrupt, and for that reason I do not believe it is wise to have any dealings with him.” A Chinaman Suicides. Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 31. — Lee Ling, a Chinese, aged eighteen, who had been a prisoner in the county jail here since November 19 on a charge of assault, committed suicide in his cell yesterday afternoon by hanging. On November 19 Ling entered a laundry, of which his consin, Charles Jim, is proprietor, and demanded $200, say- ing he wanted to go back to China. Jim refused to give him the money, and Ling, armed with a long knife, thereupon rushed upon him, cutting his arm and inflicting other slight wounds. Ling had been in this coun- try only two years. A Hermit Frozen to Death. Wichita, Kan., Dec. 31—Emile Lan- nes, a hermit for a dozen years in a canyon in Beaver County, No Man’s Land, was found frozen to death in his rude hut. A crucifix was grasped tightly in one hand and a rosary in the other. He was ninety years of age and was said to be a son of one of Napoleon’s marshals. The hut he lived in contained nothing but a rough table, a few cooking utensils and about fifty_ volumes of French religious books. A Fire at Sing Sing. Sing Sing, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Fire was discovered in the storehouse and laun- dry of Sing Sing prison yesterday morning. Although the firemen re- sponded promptly the flames had gain- ed considerable headway. The burned buildings are located in the northeast portion of the prison yard. The loss is estimated at $2,500, and is not in- sured. The cause of the fire is a mys- tery. Stamped Envelopes Cheaper. Washington, Dec. 31.—Third Assist- ant Postmaster-General Craige has is- sued a circular informing postmasters of a reduction in the prices of stamped envelopes and newspapers after Janu- ary 1, 1895.

Pocomcke City, Md., Jan. 2.-- The Parker Hotel was the scone of a ro- maiitic marriage yesterday. tracting parties were Douglas L. Som- mers and Miss Florence Lewis, of Bloxom, Va.

Fearfui Storms Along the British and French Coasts. London, Jan. 2.—Fearful storms are reported from all parts of the British and French coasts. It is estimated that at least fifty lives have been lost. The Ramsgate (Kent) lifeboat crew put to sea at midnight and returned at noon with the crew of the schooner Union, wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. It is regarded as certain that the col- lier Napoli and the fishing steamer Nordsee both foundered off the Dutch coast on Saturday. There were twen- ty-five persons on both vessels, and there is hardly a doubt that all of them were drowned. A number of fishing boats which left Cherbourg on Satur- day have also been lost, and probably their crews. The Girl Was Savea. New Brunswick, Jan. 2.—While skating on the Raritan River yester- day afternoon, opposite this city, Mamie Farrington, aged fifteen, a daughter of Patrick Farrington, of No. 120 Burnet street, and Charles Cros- sin, aged nineteen, of No. 11 Hassart street, narrowly escaped drowning.
