N«w Yorx, Aug. 84.—When the steamer Zaamlam arrived at her wharf in Hoboken, the boarding officer from Castle Garden found eight men on board whose names were not on the manifest. They were mem- Iwrs of the shipwrecked, crew of the Nova Scotia bark Bruniga, bound from Parrsboro pr West Bay, N. a, to the Mersey with a load of spruce lumber. Andrew Hakein, the only English-speaking man of the crew, said to a reporter: "We sailed from West bay on Aug. 1, bound to Liverpool. Up to the 9th Inst, we had moderate weather and a smooth sea. On the morning of that day the wind was moderate from the southeast, but suddenly backed in to northeast and commenced to blow. All that time we were under all sail to royals with staysails set. At 4 p. m. we had shortened sail to lower topsails and foretopmast staysail. We were on the port tack, with the sea quartering and the wind blowing a gale. Capt Geitzier concluded to wear ship I was at the wheel at the timo, and when he told me to put the helm up I found it was as much as I could do to obey tho order. Just as the vessel was paying off before the gale the lower foretopsaii was blown from the bolt ropes, leaving only a frame to show where the canvas had been Of coarse this stopped the ship's head from paying off and she commenced to gripe. London, Aug. 84.—Mr. Parnoll has arrived at Dublin to prepare for the i.nnrj ot to bo given in his honor, and for tho iiupirtr ant meeting of the Irish Parliamentary party. lie had it long conference with Mr. Timothy Harrington, secretary of the Irish National league, Mr. William O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, and other leaders of the Nationalist party. There are symptoms of revolt in soma of the counties over the payment of the Irish members of the next parliament. Mr. Parnell insists that each constituency shall be compelled to pay ita own member a salary upon which he can manage to live in London, The electon generally recognize the justice of paying the members so as to secure the services of able men, who could not otherwise afford to devote themselves to politics, but some ot the poorer constituencies object to having the tax for the support ot their members directly assessed upon them. They want a general fund raised to which they, with others in Ireland and elsewhere, shall contribute according to their means, and from which all the members shall be paid alike. Tbey aay that otherwise the richer counties and boroughs will gdt all the good member*, while the poorer ones, although not less patriotic, will be punished for their poverty by having inferior representatives. It is probable that some compromise will be effected by which all the constituencies will be required to pay what tbey can, and that the deficiencies will afterward be made up, and the salaries oqualized by drafts upon the general fund. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 84.—Acting Mayor J. B. Walkup died at 10 o'clock, after suffering for nearly a week from cramps resulting from arseniaai poisoning. His case was correctly diagnosed oa Tuesday last, but he wa* then beyond the reach of the remedied used. At the inquest it was learned that his young wife, to whom he was married on July 28, haif recently bought small quantities of arsenic and strychnine. She was at once placed wider arrest, with Willie Willia. a hoy of 18. who is her second oousin. It was ler,-ued that Mrs. Walkup had incite! on caring for her husband slorne while he Was ill, and there were other suspic!ous cir oumsfances which warranted taking her into custody. Mrs. Walkup is detained in the room in which her husband died, closely watched. Although at the post-mortem examination Mr. Walkup's stomach and intestines were shown to be badly deranged by the arsenic, his wife still maintains her innocence. She is soif-pcssessei, and talks freely upon any topic of conversation. She was busily engaged making her mourning dress, but she has since been dissuaded from hor intention of attending the funeral. Congress to be In on da tod with Several Washington, Aug. 84.—At the approaching session of congress the president will submit twelve reports from the South American cpmmissiou, in addition to the two that were submitted and published at the last session. The commission has been accused of enjoying a Junketing tour, but if the amount of manuscript they have forwarded to the state department is any criterion by which to judge, their industry has beou very great. These report* are accompanied by verbatim interviews with the prominent merchants of every place they visited, covering points that will be of great iinportanoe to all who are interested in building up a trade in South and Central America. The commission was directed "to ascertain and report the best modes of securing more intimate commercial and international relation! between the United States and the several countries of Central and South America," and were also intrusted with important diplomatic duties. Their plan of work was upon their arrival in a country to secure a list at the prominent importing and exporting merchants, who were invited to give their views and such information as they were willing to offer to the commission. They everywhere responded with the greatest cordiality, and seemed to show a deep interest in the object and a desire for the suecets of the work. They gave much useful information regarding trade, the reasons wry the United States has so little of the commerce Ot South America and the means by which more can be secured. As tbey were all men of practical experience their opinions are oi value, and upon them much of the reports of the commission is based. The commission also give the results of the conferences they be.d with the several countries visited, and the answers reoeivod to the propositions the/ were instructed by the late Sjcretary Ft eling huysen to submit on behalf of the United States. These propositions look to morj intim ltd relations between the United States and the other American republics. Very Voluminous Ma ports. "Her mother was Miss Cora C. Stanv bury, of Washington, and a sister of my mother," said Miss Hagner. "She was a member of one of the most prominent families in Washington. She married Henry H. Nourse, a prominent lawyer of Washington, and at one time editor of one of the leading papers there. Laura was born in Washington. Alter her husband's death it was found that his estate was very much involved. My aunt then removed to New York city, where she became a regular contributor to the leading magazines. About six years ago she died, leaving three children. The oldest was Ben, who is now in New Orleans; the next Lau*a, and the youngest a sister who is now in Washington. After her mother's death remained in New York for three years, where she supported herself by literary work. She was a brilliant woman, but her great failing was her pride. She would not be dependent on any one, and determined to make her own living. Laura's family connections on both her father and mother's side is a large one. The Rsv. F. H.

She is also a niece of Professor James Nourse, of the Washington observatory. SUj has numerous other relatives living in Washington." Damage to health, however, was an evil that could not be avoided. He did not expect to breakdown, l.ut he feared the effect of the strain on his wife, whom he bad left in a faint on entering the pulpit, and the lady whose name wai associated with his in the scandal, who was already a nervous wreck as the result of previous trials. A third evil which might result was damage to reputation in distinction of character. The preacher said that even Jeeus Christ died with a bad reputation.

He met the officers on Washington street and opened Ore. The shots were fatal, one striking Camp over the heart, the second striking Gahl below the heart, the ball ranging down. Camp fired five shots from his 44-calibre bulldog after being struck, three taking effect in and near Gardner's heart, killing the latter instantly. Gahl could not get bis revolver out of its scabbard. A negro woman, a bys ander, was struck in the leg, but the wound is not dangerous. Camp died soon after. The dead man waa taken to the police station. -Camp's wife, nearly crazed with grief, threw herself on the dead body of her husband, pleading plteously for (me word or one kiss. Beside the wife he leaves five children. "Then, in order to save the bark from being swamped, Capt. Geitaier gave the order to cut away the mizzenmast. Willing men sprang into tho port rigging, and soon bad cut the lanyards, which caused the spar to topple and fall, crashing over the starboard rail. Still, the vessel nouldnotpay off, and a storm forestaysail was set with great difficuliy. Things weregetting worse every minute. The captain at last ordered the mainmast to be cut away. This whs a work of extreme difficulty, but was at last accomplished. When it foil, the two foretopsail yards were broken in the slings from the strain on tbe braces leading to the main topmast head.

The signal wires broke just as a train came into the station, leaving the signals turned in ■ucb a manner as to indicate to a train approaching from the opposite direction that the track was clear. At that moment a Great Western train came into tb* station and struck the engine of the other train with terrific force. The scene which ensued was horrible. The lights were shattered and most of tbem extinguished, and the narrow, underground tunnel was filled with the shrieks of the wounded ud dying. The driver of the Great Western was killed an I the stoker and five passengers fatally injured. Many others were cut and bruised more or less severely.

Fall River, Aug. 31—There has been trouble between the various branches of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in this city for about a year past, originating in a conflict of authority between the two factions known as the Erin board and the American board. The trouble has waxed hot. The American board paraded to advertise an excursion arranged for Monday. Immediately following the parade came a onehorse wagon, driven by Erin Hibernians, bearing a transparency with, "Wait for the excursion of the Original Hibernians on the 27th." In the "Bowery1' a crowd of several hundred stoned the wagon of Erin Hibernians. The driver was knocked off his seat to the ground. Two other men who were in the wagon Jumped out and the three had a rough and tumble fight with the crowd, during which Andy Hines, one at the men in the wagon, drew a revolver and fired into the crowd, one bullet taking effect in the leg of a man named O'Brien.

After the meeting the marched through the streets with banners flying, growing more enthusiastic as they advanced. Arriving in front of the presidency palace cheers were given for Senor Ekluayen, minister of foreign affairs. tThe premier did not make bis appearance, and the cheers changed to howls and catcalls. Suddenly there arose a yell and about twenty men rushed from the crowd to the palaoe, and scaling the balconies fastened the national flag to the building amid the shouts and cheers of the multitude. All the military and aristocratic clubs hung banners and flags from their rooms, which were saluted with frenxied cheers as the procession passe 1. The procession was headed by prominent, democratic leaders, and did not pass through the street upon which the German legation is located, much to the disappointment of a large crowd that had gathered in the vicinity of the legation curious to sen what the ten pur of the people would lead them to do.

Owing to the several explosions under trains heretofore mentioned and the terrible effect on locomotives which dynamite has, very close watch of railroad tracks has been kept, a patrol being maintained constantly. The Salt Lake express was due at 0:10 a. m., and the Leadvilie express had left at 8:90. A watchman patrol ing the track in the meantime found near the limits of the city, and about the place where two locomotives have already been blown up, a large quantity of dynamite plaoed upon tbe track and so arranged that it could not avoid being exploded under the locomotive of tbe incoming express. The dynamite was taken op carefully and filled the hat, and would undoubtedly have wrecked tbe train, which was a very fast one, at this point, there being a steep down grade. The attempt grows out of the strike in the Denver and Rio Grande shops. Chicago. Detroit..
