William Martin, secretary of the amalgamated association of iron and steel workers, (aid: ▲ Pilot Boat Bun Down off Firo Uniontown, Pa., Dec. 4.—It has been agreed by the counsel on both sides that the case of the commonwealth against Jama* Nutt for the murder of N. L Dukes be commenced on Wednesday morning of this week. All the attorneys are here with the exception of Senator Voorhees, who will arrive from Washington at 8 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Struble, the stepfather of Dukes, has employed Judge Curtis, of New York, to conduct the prosecution, and he will arrive here tomorrow. The case will consumo all of this week and probably part of next, as there will be some hard lighting over the admission of much of the testimony. from Foreign Lands. Parir, Dec. 4.—It is f emi-cfficially an. tounced that England, Germany, America, Hussia and France will participate in a joint grotection of their subjects and interests in China in the event of war between France ind China. The object is to protect the lives and property of Europeans and Americans in the event of the recurrence of inciiento similar to the Canton trouble last summer. In order to accomplish this tho iivo powers would form a flotilla of gunboats on the Canton river, tho command of which would bo given to the power having the largest naval force iu Chinese waters. At the present time France has the greatest number/jf vessels thero. A dispatch from Hai-Phang, Tonquin, says that owing to the attack by the Chinese upon Haid-Zuong on Nov. 17, a state cf siege has bean proclaimed at the latter place by Admiral Courbet. Some Annamite mandarins who have been convicied of connivance at the movements of bands of Chinese have been arrested.

"I am sorry for Mr. Carlisle's nomination, as he is a pronounced free trader. I have no douljt that his election will have an immediate •fleet upon our industries, but he may appoint a ways and means committee that will affect us. We have ruined industries today, the result of want of protection. Take, for instance, the tin plate trade. There has not been a sheet of tin manufactured in this country for over four years. Whyl Simply because our manufacturers cannot compete with foreign production in prices. I cannot understand what the democrats mean by this move. Had they ohosen Randall they would have been sure of the presidency in 1884—no doubt about that; but they have arrayed t)ie worki#pmen solidly against them by electing Carlisle. Free trade means pauper labor, and I see no other way than for the labor organisations of the country to combine against.any further reduction of the tariff. 1 understood thero was a quiet movement on foot before this nomination, which beyond depute would have been successful to revise the tariff in favor of better protection, but 1 am afraid it is foiled now." orten Before the Meridian of Life is reached, tho teeth decay.

Calamity. New York, Dec. 4.—The steamship Alaska, of tho Williams and Guion line, ran into a pilot boat, cutting her down. The pilot boat sank almost immediately, and ull on board went down with her. The night was starlight and intensely cold. Capt. Murray was on the bridge at the time, and those who witnessed the disaster express tho opinion that it was not due in any respsct to the management of the steamship. Of course the greatest excitement prevailed, but two of the Alaska's boats were immediately lowered but were unablo to save anyone wlio had been on board of the illnfuted vessel. London, Dec. 4.—Mr. Cullinane, the proprietor of The Western News at Ballinasloe, has added his namo to the Jist of those who have, by their indiscreet patriotism, incurred tin displeasure and punishmeut of the law. He was convicted of publishing a seditious article in his newspaper, and sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment in Galway jail. On leaving the court a crowd assembled and wildly cheered the prisoner. Tho road to the railway station was lined with people who gave loud expression to their disapprobation of the severity of the sentence, and sympathy for Mr. Cullinann. At Kilconnel, Woodlawu and Atheney, stations en route, were other crowds who shouted and groaned by turns. A strong force of police met the prisoner at Oalway and conducted him to the jail. Washington, Dec. 4—After the balloting for speaker had been completed, which resulted In the election of Mr. Carlisle, the iron clad oath of office was then administered by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, the oldest' metnfeer of the lionso In continuous service, and Speaker Carlisle called' the bouse to order. The states were then_ called alphabetically, and the representatives as their names were called came forward and qualified. After the other members had been sworn in iff. Springer, of Illinois, presented a memorial from the governor and others officials and a number of citisens of Kansas claiming that under the constitution and laws of Kansas Mr. FBters was inelgible. He desired to have the memorial printed in The Rtcord, and would offer a resolution referring the memorial to the committee on elections when appointed. He would then withdraw his objection to Mr. Peters being sworn. Mr. Peters was then sworn in. Crowds of people from the surrounding country are here to attend tho trial, and the story of the Dukes-Nutt tragedy is on every lip It will be remembered that on the evening of Juno 13 last a number of people who were standing in the vicinity of the postoffice heard a shot and saw ono man swiftly following another, firing from a revolve!' as he ion. The first man soon fell on the stone pavement in tho postoffice at the head of tho steps leading/rom tho street, and In a few minutea tho whole town knew that Dukes had been killed by James Nutt, and that the death of Captain Nutt lmd lieen avenged. Postmaster Sniu'l A. limit t. Of Monterey, Mich., delivers himself in this wise: "For colds, burns, soro throat ai.d rheumatism, Thomas' Kiloclrie Oil cannot 1« beaten. 1 say keep it up to tlio standard, and it will satisfy the people. I shall send for a new supply soon." The Alaska after the accident stopped her engines and laid to in the locality. "Tho boats of the steamer wero manned and every effort made to secure some traee of the sunken boat or her occujiants, tut without success. When struck by the Alaska tho cries of tho unfortunato men were plainly heard on tho stoamor. That the sunken vessel was a pilot boat is certain from the fact that she displayed a masthead light and a torch, a custom followed by no other boats. There was little or no exeitomont on board the Alaska when the accident occurred. Most of tho passengers wero not awakened, as tho shock was so slight. Those of them who did come on deck were not in the loast alarmed.

II. Allen, 315 First Ave., New York City. The trial of Dr. Coilofly, his brother Patrick anifsister Catherine, at Limerick, on a charge of conspiring to murder, resulted in ii disagreement of the jury, and a new trial will be necessary. The failure of tho jury to arrive at a verdict is probably due to tho complex character of the evidence which has been adduced, Portions of the evidence gave a political color to the offenso charged, whilo some witnesses swore that private ends only wero intended. A ITIan Outrunning a Mustang Pony. Philadelphia, Dee. 4—1-,. C. Smith's mustang pony Nedr which defeated Jam'js Henderson, the champion live mile runnel' of Delaware county, in a 200 yards running race at Eeho park on Tuesday last, was distanced iu a 100 yards raeo by Fred Rogers, of Trenton, the champion of Ne-.v Jersey. A large number of well known sorting men were present, and the betting was two to one in favor of the man. Tho distance waj fifty yards straight away and return. The starting pistol was fired by £rthur Chambers. Rogers and the mustang got off well well together, but at tho turning post Rogers was slightly in advance. Rapidly swinging around the post he m Dde a spurt for home, and finished in eleven seconds. The mustang was four seconds behind, three seconds being last at the turn. The race was for 4l0o a side. Nutt i as been very quiet and non committal since he has been in jail. His mother and sister and other friends have frequently tailed on liiin, and a large sum of monoy has been sent vto pay the expenses of the defense by persons all over the laud. Thero is no doubt the defense will bo emotional insanity. Isaac Cline, pres. "■■nt of tho national association of window gins; blowers, said: '"The elect on of Carlisle is a death blow to the democratic party. There must be a new protective party formed, and it will command the support of every labor man in the land." Mr. Converse, ot Ohio, rose to a question of high privilege and asked that a certificate of election, iamed by the governor of Mississippi, to Van H. Manning, aud representative from the second district of that state, Ik read. Mr. Keifer said Mr. Manning had flled with the clerk of the house a statement that be had never accepted the certificate and hftd pot on file with the clerk a statement that he would not be sworn in. Was it proposed to force him in against his will] Mr. Converse asked that the certificate be read, and it was read. This geutlemim lives in Emporium, Pa .

Jones, tho head of the iron firm of Jones & Laughlin, said: "Following the election of Carlisle, a further depression on the iron trade will occur, but it will not be lasting. X think tho iron trade is down to hard pan now almost, but the country is in a good condition, which is a t! ing to bo thankful for. This move of the democrats will help the republicans in 1884." A Disagreement Amonj Cigar Fnlons Missionary Staiw, of Tainatave fame, baa received £1,0(10 from the French government, as a portion of tlie indemnity which he claimed for the injuries ho sustained by the bombardment by tho French iloet and bis subsequent confinement. This sum has been forwarded unasked and the spontaniety displayed by the French authorities In pacifying so troublesome a customer, is cjnsidered as being indicative of their desire to soothe the English government en avant for some of the possibilities of the prospective Tonquiu campaign. —Other I,alDnr Troubles. Their fears were soon allayed. Others slept soundly throughout the night and were not aware of the collision until daybreak. When the extent of tho disaster was fully known, the cabin passengers proceeded without delay to raise funds for tho relief of the families of the unfortunate seamen. The absence of any knowledge bearing upon tho identity of the sunken boat or the composition of the crow in no wise deterred them, and in a short while the sum of 11,200 in gold had, been subscribed and paid in. The Alaska proceeded to her pier, which was reached shortly after noon. Chicago, Dsc. 4.—Only 190 out of 1,200 members of the cigar manufacturers' association carried out tho resolution adopted by tho association, ordering a general lockout of members of union 14, or tho internationals, for refusing to work with the members ol tho Progressive society. About 400 men in all are locked out. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, asked that papers flled with the clerk by Mr. Chalmers bo read. He claimed that there was a certificate by the secretary of state given to John Chalmers.Saved the B.by. Max N. Moorhead, of Moorhoad, McLean & Co., iron manufacturers, said: "The iron trade is down to such a basis now that I don't think the election of Carlisle will hurt it much. His election is a good thing for the republican party, however." " My baby, aged fifteen month*, was. attacked, with croup, but wos cured with two doses of Thomas' Kelectric Oil; have uneA this medicine for the older children. Have thn greatest faith in it." Mrs. Daniel Mann, 621 Seventh St., Buffalo, N. Y. It is expected that the number will be increased. All the mombers of the international union of cigar makers have struck against the employment of Progressive union men. Over 1,000 men. representing all the leading manufactories are out The trouble grows out of a long standing feud ia Now York city between the rival unions. Norfolk, Dec. 4.—The steamer Conoho, of the Roanoke, Norfolk and Baltimore Steamboat company, bound from Baltimore to Norfolk Saturday night, when off Cone Point, ChuaBiK-ako Bay, collided with and sunk the schooner Three Sons. The schooner sunk in five fathoms of water. The steamer laid by over an hour, saving the captain and two of the men. The balance of the crew were lost. The Conobo lias arrived here with the rescued. Sank in Chesapeake Bajr. Mr. Belford, of Colorado, desired to call the attention of the democratic side to a precedent. He came to the forty fifth congress With a certificate from the governor and backed by a majority of 2,700 honest vote*. His competitor, knowing they had n vast majority and expecting to be seated by partisan partiality, came here, opposed his admission, and he was sent to the committee on elections. If the democrats were honest, then let them be honest now. Binns, the new hangman or Butcher Binns as he is now called, did a most bungling piece of work at Liverpool. A man named Button was executed. lie struggled iu a most horrible manner for two minutes and his pulse beat eight minutes after the drop fell. The doctors who were present denounce Binns iu the strongest terms and say that his syrtem is entirely opposed ta tho practice of Marwood,his wonderfully successful predecessor. The scientist join with the doctors in their denunciations, and say that the rope which Biuns used is too short and the noose is wrongly placed. It appears that Binns believes in tho methods formerly practiced by Calcraft but whiclj are now considered by good judges to bo obsolete. Joshua Hhodcs, president of the Pennsylvania tube works, said: "The election of Carlisle will work disaster to the iron interests of the country. It canuot be otherwise, for he is a free trader, and our industries demand ample protection. There will b i a great deal of uncertainty and a generally unsettled condition in the trade until his policy is fully defined."

It acts on the blood nervea and muscles and regulates every part of Uie system. At the office of the pilot commissioners no information beyond the foregoing facts had been received up to 2 o'clock. It was impossible to say which of tho vessels in the pilot service was the ono which met with the accident. A report that pilot boat No. 19 was the unfortunate vessel was promptly denied. It was considered probable that several days would elapse before the identity of the boat would be disciosed. The numlier of persons on board of ihe various pilot boats varies: some carrying four or five, and others as high as ten or more. The cost of the various boats range from $12,000 to $17,000. By some it was thought possible that the sunken boat was No. 6. This, however, is mure surmise, and nothing definitely can be said upon tho subject. Des Moines, la., Dec. 4.—Four hundred bricklayers are on a strike, owing to the refusal of the contractors to pay for an extra hour on Saturdays. Mr. Mills, of Texas, said that the certificate of the governor showed that the election was held on a day not authorized by law. The chair decided that the papers suggested by Mr. Calkius could only be read by unanimous consent. Mr. Converse, of Ohio, then offered a resolution reciting that Manning held the certificate in due form and that he immediately qualify without prejudico to the final right to the seat. On this he demanded the previous question, and the ayes and nays were ordered.. 'The previous question was ordered—yeas 162, nays 128. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, offered a resolution referring the certificate of the governor, tho certificate of the secretary of state, aud other papers to the committee on elections to report as soon as practicable on the prima facia rights in the case without reference to final determination of the rights of the contestants. Pending action on this latter motion the liou-xD on motion of Mr. Cox, of New York, at 3:40 p. M. adjourned. Other manufacturers expressed the same genoral vie .vs. New Orleans, La., Doc. 4.—The arbitration coiumittue of the trades assembly and similar committees from exchanges are again in session this morning eudoavoring to reach some solution of existing difficulties with freight handlers and thus avert a strke. Newspaper Consolidation. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 4.—The Evening Telegraph company today purchase 1 The Evening Chronicle, of this city, and after the 1st of January the united papors will appear as The Chronicle-Telegraph.

Ala., Dec. 4.—Sigmund Vogel, who failed on Saturday, died of a brokeu heart. He was enterprising and presumably successful in business. He had a large house aud a full st ck ai.d advertised extensively. For two weeks before his failuro he ate nothing and could not sleep, aud, even after making a virtual assignment to whom ho thought himself under most obligation, he got no rest. His largest creditors are in New York, one firm being owed over 111,000 and another nearly #8,000. It is doubtful if the Mobile preferred creditors, the purchasers of his estate, will realize the full amount of their claitu. His failure and death aro the sensation in Mobile and this section of tho state. President Jenkins, of the Bank of America: "I don't think Mr. Carlisle's election will have much influence on the financial question."Captain Murray, of the Alaska, upon the arrival at the pieiD made a verbal statement of the accident to the superintendent of tho Williams & Ouion line. Captain Murray was ou the bridge at the time the accident happoned. It was about midnight, and tho ship at the time was seventy-five miles of Fire Island, bearing - south southeast. "We made the pilot boat," said he, "on our port bow, bearing southwest, the wind northwest, ship heading west, that brought tho pilot boat on our lee bow. We slowed down, having reversed the engine under. a full head of steam, .making lee, as we supposed. The pilot boat ran across our bows from leeward to windward, and in the act of running across our bows she struck the (hip. That was tho last we saw of her. Boats were immediately lowered, but we could find nothing of any one. We then threw lighted buoys overboard in hopes that if there was any one swimming around or floating they would secure one of the buoys. "We stopped the vessel and we lay to until daylight hoping to find some traoe of the occupants of the boat In tho meantime the boats we had sent out were cruising about, but do all we could we could not flnd the slightest trace of either the pilot boat or its unfortunate crew. We did not run into the pilot boat, it was she that ran into us." A Hevolutlonary Plot In Spain.. The quick and liberal responses to this call of tho Wesleyan's for funds have caused a good deal of comment in the public prints, and some writers scoifiugly remark that it is a pity that religious sentimentalism should devote so large a sum to the building of an unnecessary edifice, when it might be much better spent in the construction of industrial dwellings devoted to the elevation and coinfort of the working classes. Valencia, Dec. 4.—The newspaper Lai Provincias, of this city, publishes a letter from Barcelona, stating that an insurrectionary plot has been discovered among the members of the battalion of rifles forming a part of the garrison thera A captain, two lieutenants, and two ensigns have be?n arrested and sent to Madrid. It is believed they belong to the republican military association.President Murray, of the United States National Bank: "I have known Carlisle for a number of years. He is a very bright and an extremely cautious man. Whilo he has been considered somewhat as a disturber, yet he is a man to take on large responsibilities and to appreciate them, and from his sublime honesty of purpose he will draw an influence which will outweigh any semi-political influence If we are to havo u free trade man and a democrat in the speaker's chair, I know of no one who personally, or from the higher standpoint of public policy, I would prefer, as he is tho top of his kind." Vice President Olcott, of the Central Trustcompany—"I don't think the democratic party is likely to do any radical thing just before the presidential election." ROYAL ViZm P II® At a democratic caucus the question of distributing the' patronage was deferred until a future meeting. Tlie caucus agreed to adopt the rules of the forty seventh congress, to remain in force until two weeks after the new committee on rules shall have been appointed. Two hours were spent in discussing the Chalmei's-Mannlng Mississippi election case, and a resolution offered by Mr. Wills, of Kentucky, which was substantially the same as the one offered in the house today by Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, was adopted. It was also decided to postpone action looking to permanent organization until the meeting of the next caucus. The session was not altogether harmonious. A sensation has been started among the clubs in London by a report,emanating from the very highest authority, that Tennyson, the poet Laureate, lias been offered by the queen, and has agreed to accept, a peerage. It is understood that her majesty is supremely pleased with a recent "In Memoriam" composition formed by the poet as her especial request, and which, it is said, will immortalize the virtues of the English John Cloning of ttao State Canals.

J President Dowd, of the Bank of North America—"Mr. Carlisle lDeing an outspoken free trade man, he will have to carry out the views of the democratic house. Without a democratic president and senate be will not be in a position to do much." Active preparations continue for the reopening of the road to the Soudan via Suakim and Berber. Two battalions of troops Will be dispatched to upper Egypt, probably to Keneh, the capital of the province of Keneh Cossier, or Esueb, twenty five miles south of Berber, the headquarters of the Sennaar caravans.

A Question to Mr. Blaine. President Cox, of the Mechanics' bank— "I am pleased with Mr. Carlisle's election to the speakership. I think it is the best selection that could have been made. His eleotion will have no bearing on the financial question." iKDHMMirouB, Dec. i. — Gov. Hendricks has this to say of Mr. Biaine'B proposition: "I would like to know what Mr. Blaine is driving'at; would like to see his objective point. I think it an adroit move on his part to make the tariff and internal revenue systems leading questions in the next campaign and set a trap for his unsuspecting enemies. The proposition has its iDopular features, but I think the sober sense of the people is not in favor of the government enforcing a loan to give away. I think we should not collect in taxes any more money than we need." Mr. and Hendricks leave here this week for a trip to Europe in company with the Hon. Frederick Rand, of thia city. They will be abeent until spring. Tbrce Children Burned to Death. Absolutely Pure. his powder never varies.

London, Dec. 4.—llie execution of O'Donnell hts been definitely tixeu for Monday, December 17. New York, Dec. 4.—The negro, Boston, who was arrested in this city on Saturday on suspicion of being the murderer of Phoebe Pauline, near Orange, N. J., was the subject of much curious conjecture at the Orange police station. Ho proved himself a most voluble, if not expert, exponent of the art of mendacity, and told no end of contradictory stories abo it himself to those who questioned him. His motive for these misleading statements about liis antecents became apparent when Chief McChesney received a dispatch from Officer J. A. H. Campbell, of Coxsaekie, N. Y., stating that John Watkins was "wanted" there. The disjDatch did not state for what he was wanted, but Watkins under a fire of interrogatories admitted that he had been recently employed at Coxsaekie, and that somebody there had lost $20. Ho would frequently "clar to God," however, that he knew nothing of the latter circumstance. President, of the Stock exchange—"I don't think Mr. Carlisle's election will have an unfavorable effect upon finances. The new speaker is a very fair, luDnq$t, and conservative man, one who aspires to be a statesman ratbor than a demagogue. So that so far as his personal influence goes I don't think he will further any very radical legislation, or any legislation which his judgment could lie convinced was calculated to be injurious to the country. Knowing Messrs. Carlisle and Randall both personally, I should not have felt that there would have been any great difference so far as the business interests of the country are concerned by the election of either of them." Awarded $25,000. Brooklyn, Dec. 4.—A decision was rcn dered by Judge Clement in the city court in the suit of Jacob Lorillard against Willianj P. .Clyde.

Warner, of Ohio, will take au early opportunity to introduce in the house a bill providing for the retirement of the trade dollar. He says that its coinage was a mistake, there never having been a t!tne when the same amount of silver in the form of standard dollars would not purchase as much tea in China or India as if coined in trade dollars. Several other members of the house are preparing bills for the same purpose. M. W.
