Tbree Hundred Men In Pursuit of a Gang of Burglars. A Woman Hires a Alan to Marry Her and then Bids Him Good-by. Nominated for Speaker and Geta 106 VotM on tbe Ballot. O'Donnoll Pound Guilty and Son* Shelby. O., Dec. 3.—Four burglars robbed • safe at New Washington and escaped on a band car to Vernon Junction, where they threw the car into a creek and went to Shelby. The authorities telegraphed to Shelby to have the gang arrested. Marshal Sutter found the burglars near a hotel and ordered them to go with him,whereupon they fired five shots, two of which struck Sutter in the leg and one in the side. The Marshal then shot one of the burglars through the head, killing bim instantly. The others fled towanl the woods, followed by citizens. AVhen two miles north of the town one of the gang turned and fatally shot John Longacre. a Bee Line baggageman. By that time 800 men were in pursuit of the burglars. Two miles further on M. A. Cunningham captured Longacre's murderer nnd took him to town. Almost the entire population then turned out, armed with all manner of weapons, and greatly excited. Ono of the burglars found the horse and buggy of a member of the pursuing party, and started away with it. Finding the buggy an encumbrance he cut the harness and attempted to get away on horseback. Encountering Will May, who was in pursuit, the burglar, at the point of a revolver, compelled him to givo up his pistol and exchange horses. May's horse proved to be slow, and the burglar, meeting two ladies ill a buggy, ordered them, with drawn revolver, to give up their rig. One of the ladies struck him with a whip, whereupon be fired at them, but with the eflect only cf frightening their horse, which ran away. The burglar afterward met a boy with a team, and frightened him so that he gave up the horses. The team ran away, came in collision with*-wagon, and the burglar was thrown out and the wagon turned over 011 hiin. The pursuers soon afterward came up, when the burglar piteously exclaimed, "Boys, I have a nice mother—" and instantly he was riddled with bullets This occurred thirteen miles from Shelby. The body was borne ti-i-umpantly to town. Tbo bodies of both dead burglars were exhibited in an undertaker's establishment, and this increased the excitement to sncb an extent that the cue who was in jail would have been lynched if the sheriff had not quietly taken him to Mansfield. Ex-Speaker Keifer Renominated Erie. Pa., Dec. 3.— A young lady of refined appearance, giving the name of Amelia A. Royse, of Cincinnati, accompanied by a man ten years her senior, shabbily dressed, and avidently her social inferior, giving his name as Charles Traynor, of Utlca, N. Y.. entered the court of Judge Freeman and announced her desire to be united in the bonds of wed lock, her companion meanwhile standing beside her, the picture of sheepish ness. After the preliminary questions were asked, the marriage rite was performed and the judge declared thein mail and wife. The lady then turned to her husband and quietly but coldly intimated that he would lose his train if he wasted too much time. The hint was understood, and the man, bidding the lady goodby, left the room. After his departure the lady, remarking to the judge that some explanation was duo him of tHe strange procedure, said: "There is nothing wrong in all this; no crime, no despair, nothing tragic. 1 am s'mpiy putting it out of my power to say 'yes' to the only man on earth it would please and hurt me most to marry. For private reasons, I cannot marry this gentleman without bringing great sorrow upon him and me' in the futuro and to place myself beyond reach of temptation I have married this stranger. This is ail there is in it. It is not likely that I shall this man Traynor again. He perfectly understands that he was hired to marry me and then go about his business." After requesting tho judge to inform tlio newspapers of tho marriage and to forward copies of the papers to The Baltimore Sun, Washington Critic and Denver Tribune mid laying a i20 gold piece on the table the lady left the court room. Tho judge suspects that Royse is not her real name or Cincinnati her home and that insanity is the trouble she feared to bring upon herself and the man she loves. tenced to Death, by the Republicans Elkct of Ike Tariff Issue on tka Hesult--Cenimenla of Leading England to Defend Egypt—Irish Land Land Agitation to be Continued by Ike Natlonallstf-A Series of Meetings.

Journal* on tke Nomi- nation. Washington, Dec. 3.—Less than a majority of the republican members elect of the forty eighth congress responded to the caucus call. The meeting was held in the hall of the house, and though there is probably 100 republican members in the city nearly one half thsw'number showed their indilTereuce to Mr. Keifer's vindication by absenting themselves from the caucus. The conspicuous absence of George M. Robinson, the last chairman of the republican caucus and the inventor of Mr. Keifer's speakership made it necessary for some one to call the assemblage to order, and Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, did it. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, was made chairman and Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, secretary, Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, being detained at home by illness. The formality of an organization being ended several zealous friends of Mr. Keifer arose to nominate him for the empty qonor of being the republican candidate for speaker. Mr. Win. Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, who was comparatively a stranger to most of the gentlemen, but known by his recent correspondence to be op)Dosed to hii nomination, suggested that a call of the roll would first be in order to ascertain bow many and who'wA-e present. The olD- ject of this motion or suggestion was dis cerned at once by Mr. Keifer's friend*, and there were manifest signs of disapprobation from several members and cries, "We are all republicans." Some older member came to Mr, Phelps' rescue, and, the call being in■isted upon, revealed that only sixty members out of 127 republicans and alleged republicans were present. To obviate the necessity of declaring "No quorum," it was agreed that there were just 118 Simon Pure republicans elected, nnd sixty was, of course, a bare majority. Having made ten independents, the caucus was ready to do almost anything else, and when it was settled that GJ was a majority, Mr. Keifer having mado that majority possible by response to his name, the several gentlemen roso again to urge the nomination of Mr. J. Warren Keifer. Mr. Fbelps thought a motion to adjourn would be the proper thing, and he urged it 011 the ground that one half of the members were not present; that Massachusetts was without any representation, Maino had but one, and he was informed that others of the eastern and middle states were in much the same condition. Washington, Dec. 8.—Mr. Carlisle has been nominated for speaker. He received 106 votes, Mr. Randall 52 and Mr. Cox 30. His plurality over Randall was 62, and his majority over all is 86. He waa nominated on the first ballot, the vote being taken by open ballot. That Mr. Carlisle would be nominated was made certain by the action of the New York delegation. That he would receive such an overwhelming vote none of Mr. Randall's friends believed possible, though Mr. Carlisle said after the caucus had beguu that he would receive 113 votes. The result flhvwi'that Mr. Randall was wrong in his estimate of his strength in Missouri and in Georgia, and that Mr. Carlisle *?as right The first indication that Mr. Randall bad tbat the canvass was going against him was on Wednesday evening after the Georgia delegation arrived. Mr. Randall had been assured by such prominent democratic politicians of Georgia as Senator Brown, ex-Senator Gordon, Senator Colquitt aud others that he would receivo the vote of the majority of* the delegation from that atate. The leading newspapers of tho state bad also pronounced for bim. In addition to this Mr. Randall had received friendly assurances from some of the members themselves. He felt certain up to Wednesday evening that he would get at loast seveu vote* from Georgia. But on the arrival of the delegation he soon learned that there had been some influence at work tlmt made the delegation unfriendly, aud there only remained the chance to regain their support. London, Dec. 3.—The O'Donnell case wat closed by Sir Henry James. He went over the evidence, aud asserted that the theory of telf defense w'as unteniAle. "The prisoner," he said, "shot Carey deliberately lecauso he believed it to be a praisworthy act, ar.d wished to enjoy all the notoriety that would attach to it. History is full of instances of men seeking such glory." Ex-Congressman Clark, of Missouri, was nominated for clerk and John P. Lcedom, of Ohio, fcr sergeant at arms. New York, Dec. 8.—The World Bays editorially: Mr. Randall's election would beyond doubt have been attributed to influences at war with genuine democratic principles. Mr. Carlisle's canvass has been simply an appeal to democratic sincerity. He is not elected as a free trader or an extreme protectionist. He will have no special interests to subserve. He will not be expected to make republican alliances. He is a revenue reformer. In this he is in acctifci with the large majority of i s party and in antagonism to republicanism, which opposes every retrenchment and reform. But revenuo reform is as far removed Irom free trade as beaven is from earth. Free trade is an abstraction. Under existing circumstances it is an absurdity. It is a practical impossibility.Postmaster Suiu'l A. Hewitt, Judge Denman then delivered his charge to tbe jury, which retired to deliberate upon a verdict. The jury came into court wilb a verdict of guilty. Judge Denman thereupon sentenced O'Donnell to death. | |When Judge Dentnan asked O'Donnell if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not bo passed upon him O'Donnell made no reply. But after the sentence was pronounced the prisoner wanted to speak. The judge, however, ordered his removal. The police seized him, whe i O'Donnell held up his right hand, his fingers extended, aud shouted: "Three cheers for old Ireland! Good bye United States! To hell with the British and the British crown! It is a plot made up by the crownj'' The prisoner, shouting, cursiug and struggling was then forciby removed by tho police, amid the most fearful confusion and slamming of doors.

Used Thomas' Kclectric Oil, and was ready tor work the next morning. I have never yet seen ho good a medicine." The Tribune say a: "Mr. Carlisle is to be the democratic speaker of the uext house. We are glad of it. His nomination, which means his election, is an approach toward a frank expression of feeling on the part of the democrats. Their party has 110 excuse for existence if it is not for free trade, aud unless it goes into the national canvass of 1S84 on a free trade platform it will be trying to ride two horses at once. If Mr. Randall had been nominated that would have meant an effort to conceal his jiarty's real purposes until after tho next election. But now we know that the canvass will be an honest one, conducted squarely on the issue* of protection to American industry or a paring down of the tariff and an approaeh to free trade." This action of O'Donnell caused tho greatest excitement and surprise, as he had previously gained the sympathy of the audience by his good behavior. Englishmen generally approve the verdict against O'Donnell. Fonnd Guilty of Poisoning Ills Wife DR. GOERSON CONVICTED Saved the B -by Efforts were made that seemed to promise some success. But effort was met with effort The whole force of the great Carlisle influence in the south and westward was brought to bear, and the Georgia members were unable to resist this pressure, even if they seriously desired to do so. Mr. Randall's Tote in Georgia was lost because of Mr. Randall'* poaltion on the subject of tariff agitation, and Mr. Carlisle's support was obtained because of his views thereon. The London Sunday Observer, commenting upon the result, says that seldom has an English jury performed n difficult duty so well or rendered a more righteous verdict. " My baby, aged fifteen montlix, was attacked, with croup, but was cured with iwo doses of Thomas' Kcloctrio Oil; have lined this medicine (or the older children. Have the greatest faith in it" Mrs. Daniel Mann, 521 Seventh St, Buffalo, N. Y. Philadelphia, Dec, 3.—Dr. Albert G. F. Goersen has been declared guilty of murder in the first degree. About three years ago Goersen married a girl who had just come in possession of some property. In less than a year she was dead. Ten days before her mother, who lived with them, had died. Arsenic was the causo of death in both cases. The theory was that Goersen poisoned theui so that ho might get possession of their property. The first trial resulted in a conviction, but a new trial was granted on the ground that the judge erred in his charge to the jury. For two weeks Goersen has been 011 trial for the second time. This morning, before Judge Ludlow took his seat in the new court house, the prisoner was brought in and placed in the dock. He was dressed in black and was clean shaved, but his broad face was as devoid of expression and feeling as though he was least interested in the proceedings. His mother, his little brother and his two grown sisters came early and took seats to the light of the dock. Atter the closing arguments and the judge's charge the jurors retired. When the state house clock struck 9 this evening and the court house was crowded the jurors walked slowly down the aisle. The pr.soner turned as they approached. He read in their faces his fate, and he covered his face with his hands. In reply to the usual questions the foreman responded, "Guilty of murder in the first degree." Goersen never looked up until hit younger brother touched him on the shoulder.and iHother-in-I.alv. Throughout Ireland but little interest hat thus far been manifested regarding the outcome of the O'Donneil trial. In Dublin, contrary to expectation, the news of the result wo* received with apparent indiffereuce, and caused 110 sensation among any class. The last of tbe (our burglars lias not jet been captured. One of tbe dead burglars was about twenty-two years old. Ho was good looking and had a sniopth face. Ha had $2,700 oil his person. The other was middle aged. A satchel was found containing a full set of BUrgiars' tools and a quantity of chloroform and dynamite. Marshal Sutter is considered out of danger. Baggago Master Longacre is alive today, but it is thought that he cannot live long.

The Sun says: The democratic majority of the house of representatives held their regular caucus last evening to elect their candidate for speaker aud 011 the first ballot Mr. John Grifliu Carlisle, of Kentucky, was selected to preside over the house duriug the present congress. Public feeling lias cooled down about Egypt. The British troops will remain to keep order and' defend Egypt proper if attacked, but will take 110 part in reconquering the Soudan. Things are going badly with the movements against the Malidi. Khartoum is in a perilous state, and no soldiers can be secured for the expedition against the now reorganized Mussulman champion. Baker Pasha, ordered to Suakiui with his two thousand geDdarmes, was deserted by nearly half hit men and the new native force organised by Sir Evelyn Wood is expressly reserved for home service. Absolute ignorance still prevails as to tho jiorsonality and aims of the Malidi, but conjecture points to three possible courses—an advance direct on Egypt, or toward'Tripoli, or for the coast with the view of reaching Mecca aud there proclaiming himself head of the whole Mussulman world. Tho French would have to deal with him in the second case and the English in the first and third cases. The effect of the Mahdi's success on the Mussulman population of India is one oC England's gravest difficulties. In Missouri Mr. Randall had postiive assurance of six votes but the same pressure was brought to bear on the members from that state that had been used in Georgia. There were at least six members of the Missouri delegation who desired the election of Mr. Randall. He had assurances that he would get ■t least that many. But the steady pressure, skilfully directed by Mr. Morrison and remorselessly used, prevailed. Only two of the delegation from the state refused to vott for Mr. Carlisle, and these two voted for Cox. The pressure was wholly the pressure of tariff reform agitation and opposition to Randall on account of his views upotf that subject. With the vote of Georgia and Missouri against him, Mr. Randall's canvass was almost sure to be a failure. The other great democratic constituencies of the south and southwest were solidly for Mr. Carlisle excepting Virginia, Maryland and Alabama. Mr. Randall received a scattering vote here and there from the south and southwest, but his strength in these sections, with the exception named, was trilling. As this selection is one against which we have earnestly advised, we caunot regard it with any great satisfaction; Cut we sincerely hope that all gloomy anticipations connected with the subject may be dispelled by the moderation and wisdom with which the bus nees of the house will be conducted under the direction of the new speaker. The Hon. Thomas M. Browne, of ludiann, caught tbe chairman's eye, and nominated J. Warren Keifer. of Ohio. Gen. Browne made a little speech sustaining Mr. Keifer's course as speaker of tbe last house. Tbe speaker and the republican members of tbe last congress, Gen. Browne declared, had been bitterly attacked by the democratic party for what it had done. In his opinion a failure to pay Mr. Keifer the compliment of. voting for him for speaker would be to admit the justice of tho*D attacks. On the other band, the nomination of the ex-speaker would be a vindication of the last house. The Hon. John R. Thomas, of Illinois, seconded the nomination of Keifer in a speech similar In tenor to that of Gen. Browne. Tbe fourth man of the gang has undoubtedly escaped.

SLAUGHTERED TO A MAN, Tbe Khedive to Abandon Authority "The victory of Carlisle shows the strength of thfc fret trade wing ofthe democratic party. It shows that that faction has the upper hand and that it intends to use it at a time when it lias full control of the lowor house of congress. It indicates that revenue reform legislation will be attempted at the next session, and that the committees will ba flamed with an eye thereto. That this will be resisted no one who knows the temper of the supporters of Randall can doubt, and we may look forward with serene confidence to a bitter and savage war between the free traders and the protectionists in the democratic ranks. It will be a war in which the republicans need take no part, and they can stand on the edge of the crowd and laugh while their opponents are pummeliug one ar other." Over (he Soudan, London, Dec. 3.—The governor of Soudan has sent a special message to the khedive stating that there can no longer be any doubt that El Mahdi's soldiers declined to take any prisoners in tbe fight with the army of Hicka JPasha and slaughtered his army to a man. The governor states that a reliable witness of El Mahdi's return to El Obeid after tbe battle bas arrived at Khartoum and declares that the prophet's soldiers were laden with booty ard drove thousands oi captured camels, bat brought with them not a single prisoner. , It is stated that of the 22,000 Egyptian soldiers who were stationed at tlio different garrisons throughout the Soudan prior to the El Obeid battle fully 11,000 deserted and joined the insurgents. This statement is not fully credited, but it is certain that the Soudanese are at present in such general open revolt against tbe authority of the khedive and are flocking in such great numbers to the standard of El Mabdi that the khedive is seriously contemplating the entire abandonment of all claims to authority over tbe Soudan and confining his jurisdiction entirely to lower Egypt. It i%,reported that the khedive  been encouraged by the British cabinet to do this, and that English interests iu Egypt are arranging themselves in favor of avoiding further menace to Egypt by allowing El Mabdi full suzerainty over the entire Soudan, despite the protests of the porte. Mr. Abraham X. Parker, of Pottsdam, N. Y., said that to nominate Mr. Keifer was to join in the insult to the great republican press of the east, without which a republican victory could nevei* be won. A great meeting of the national leaguers of the county of Londonderry, Ireland, ha* been held in the city of Londonderry. The object was that of devisMg methods of carrying on the nationalist agitation by a series of public meetings which may escape the usual prohibitions issued by Dublin castl* against conventions avowedly In the interest of the league propaganda. It was, after a long discussion, decided to organize a continuous series of anniversary celebrations of episodes in the Irish resistance* to the English invasion. The argument is that the castle authorities will not prohibit or disturb these ostensibly patriotic celebrations, whils the very nature of the occasions will tend to revive the Irish national spirit and make it the more suceptible to league influences. But while with the drift against his estimates in Missouri and Georgia his defeat aaemed imminent, it was not made certain until it was proved that Mr. Cox had not the entire support of the delegation from Hew York. There were at least seven of the New York delegation who were opposed to Randall. These men prevented united action 011 the part of the New York delegation. Meeting after meeting was held. Every effort was made to secure union. There was a fair chance at one time that Mr. Cox, with a united delegation from New York, could hold the balance of power, but by the skillful maneuvering of the Carlisle men it was speedily seen that the delegation was not united, and, therefore, support that Mr. Cox would otherwise have had outside was lost to him. tteeing that this was so, the Carlisle men very cunningly decided to support Cox, feeling confident that they could do so on the first ballot without endangering Mr. Carlisle. Some of the friends of Mr. Randall in the delegation would not play the dummy in this way, and decided therefore to cast their votes on the first ballot for Randall. Seven of them did so. [»r - i J^tr A Lot of Liquor Dealer* to be Ar- Mr. Browne said tbe assaults of the democrats on Mr. Keifer were nlso assaults on the republican majority in the last congress. Tho attacks made by the press were against congress and not against Mr. Keifer. Not to v&te for him was to anathematize the party, and a press tlDut was so powerful ought to be muzzled. A number of members intimated that that was not so easily done, but Mr. Browne continued his remarks, saying that Mr. Phelps was not a member of tbe last congress and knew nothing of its labors or embarrassments and he was hardly the proper perso i to introduce new fangled resolutions. Mr. Browne said he did not vote for Mr. Keifer at any time for speaker, but urged the importance of doing so now in their own self defense. Nkw York, Dec. a.—It is computed thai there are at loast 300 liquor dealers in the city who have been convicted of violation ol the excise law, and therefore cannot legally do business under the license granted them by the board of excise. They are liable to arrest without a warrant as if they bad nc license. Police Justice Smith notified Aoting Superintendent Thorne that he bad reconsidered liis discharge of prisoners brought before him under this reading of the law, and wished an opportunity to bold a few for trial. His wish will be gratified, as all of the ilOC liquor dealers are to be arrested. One of the number is a saloon keeper in the Fourth ward who has been convicted three times for violation of the excise law. He was tried by the excise commissioner! for each offense, and three times they dismissed the complainv on the same evidence on which he had been convicted in the criminal cojrt. — rested. The Herald, democrat, says: "Mr. Carlisle was distinguished in the last congress for the vigor and clearness with which he discussed the ordinarily dismal topic of the tariff. It is his position 011 this question and only this position which secures him the present leadership and will of necessity force an issue between the parties in 1881 on the line which Randall sought to avoid. Revenue reform is to become a living question unless before June next the democrats run away from it. The first of the new series of meetings will be held on the 18th of the present month, which will be the anniversary of one of the most surprising events in the annals of Irish patriotism. It was on this date, in 1809, that some cool headed apprentice boys of Londonderry, while the citizens of the town were ruuning about in wild panic over the reports that a general religious massacre had been ordered and was about to be put into execution, noticing the approach of King James" troops, under Lord Antrim, drew up the ferry gates just as the besieging soldierfc were about to secure their possession, and thus so effectually barred out the enemy that the town was enabled to properly put itself in condition to successfully resist the memorable 105 days siege. Every arrangement will be made to have this Derry celebration as successful as possible. The orations will be delivered by the ablest speakers in the league, and inducements will be held out to draw excursionist* from all parts of Ireland. Much anxiet/ if felt by the league leaders as to what policy the government will adopt towards the jDropos d class of meetings. The Derry mooting will be largely experimental. The leaguers assume that as the Derry resistance to King James was mainly Protestaut, the Orangemen should not oppose the celebration; but the Orangemen declare that the new league scheme is merely a false pretence devised for the purpose of hoodwinking the officials into • tolerance of a dangerous form of nationalist propaganda, and have already threatened to organize couuter celebrations for the purpose of making riots imsninent and so induoing the castle to issue the usual prohibitions. Mr. Parker, of Now York, then nominated Mr. George D. Robinson, of Massachinatts, and its governor elcct, which was seconded by Mr. Charles R. Skinner, of the twenty second New York district. Mr. John R Thomas, from bout hern Illinois, said that "Egypt" stood by Mr. Keifer. The vote wag then taken by members rising, forty four being for Mr. Keifor and fifteen ftr Mr. Robinson. The western members were mainly the ex-speaker's supporters. Those voting for Mr. Robinson were Messrs. Hiskoc», Parker, Skinner, Nutting, Johnson, Millard and Payne, of New York; Hoit, of Michigan; McComas, of Maryland; Phelps and Kean, of New Jersey; Bingham and Atkinson, of Pennsylvania; Wait, of Connecticut, and Poland, of Vermont.

Arrival of a Wrecked Crew. Mr. Carlisle and his manager, Mr. Morrison, have announced to every momber who visited them that the canvass was made on his part on the issue of revenue reform, and on that alone. Mr. Carlisle said to all that be was in favor of immediate effort to secure a new tariff bill, or at least certain further redaction in the present tariff, and that he would regard his election as an endorsement by the democratic party of that position. Mr. Morrison has claimed that Mr. Carlisle's views were in accord with those of the great masses of the democratic party in those sections from which Carlisle drew his support, and it is well understood that Mr. Carlisle will make up his ways and means committee with the view of ,»arly tariff aotion. For this reason Mr. Morrison will be made chairman of that committee. Mr. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, Mr. Hewitt and probably Mr. Cox will also go upon it Two Killed by Jumping.

Chicago, J)ec. 8.—A fire was discovered in the Farwell block, the largest business building in this city, bounded by Adams, Market and Monroe streets and the river. The great structure, however, is broken by heavy fire walls running through it, but for which the entire building would have been destroyed. The fire was confined to Noe. 168 vnd 170 Market street, the three lower stories of which were occupied by Motzler Brothers, notion dealers, and the fotir upper stories by Beak & Bucher, furriers. The latter firm employ 250 girls, all except about seventy five of whom had gene home before the fire was discovered. Those remaining in the building became aware of the approach of the flames by the smoke seeking its way upward from the lower floors. MUSIC HALL, One of the spies says that there are many circumstances which warrant the suspicion that El Mahdi had succeeded in corrupting large numbers of the native troops in Hicks Pasha's army; that these murdered the European officers and betrayed the troops to the Prophet's soldiers.
