QE8TION OF THE LUNG®. Nkwark, Nov. —Secret Service Officer John 8. Bell arrested Theodore Forrest at the Chrome Steel works, in Brooklyn, on a charge of making counterfeit Ave, ten and twentyfive cent coins. Forrest and his two tons, Theodore and Eddie, aged 13 and 8 yean, were taken into custody. The arrests resulted from the fact that the lower portion of the city has been flooded of late with counterfeit coins, which have been traced to the children of Forrest by the secret service officer. When arrested Forrest was at work in the factory, and came to this city willingly. A search of his home at No. 12 Jackson street, failed to reveal auy spurious coin, molds, or anything, except a drunken wife and six children, who were obliged to shift for themselves and prepare meals. Forrest was arrested in Birmingham, Conn., in 18S4, together with his wife and a man named George Smith, for counterfeiting, Forrest being sentenced to one year, Smith to two years, while Mrs. Forrest jot off without any punishment. After his return last February Forrest came to this city, and ujD to two weeks ago did nothing, but at that time he procured a position in Brooklyn at $4 a day.  HURLED AT HI8 HEAD. Wkkwspobt, N.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov 25.—Col. Albert Howell was mortally wounded by Henry C. Pope, in a dispute at the Union depot. (Jol. Howell is a brother of Evan P. Howell, editor-inchief of The Daily Constitution, and is the general manager of the Union passenger depot. He is considered wealthy. While in his office, a fow minutes before 11 'a. m., CoL Howell was approached by Mr. Henry C.

"An expert," said be, "in the cattle business Is as useless as a fifth leg on a street car mule."

London-, Nov. 25.—The report of the death of King Alfonso, though it was not unexpected in well informed circle*, caused a. panic on every bourse in Europe. All efforts to get an absolute confirmation or denial of the report have thus far been foiled by the vigilance of the prejn censorship. The report duds many believers in London in consequence of the precarious condition in which! the young king's health is known to have ;C been for the past year, the taint of scrofula; in his blood and his obstinate indulgence in ! unwholesome pleasures. On the other hand - there are many who believe that the report' has been floated by a clique of speculators in various cities for the sole purpose of affecting the markets. Last week it was rumored, that the king had had a relapse, and all sorts of securities at Madrid were seriously affected. Those who were in the secret of that manipulation are said to have made small fortunes, and it may be that they have been repeating the operation on a larger scale and in a wider field. sailing Vessoin attempted to cross Sandy Hook l*r to go tone*. , Off Ocean Bench, the (hip Malta, from Antfc*rpfor New York, stranded early in the morning- One sailor jumped overboard nutl mi drowned.

Mr. Pope replied: "You are a d d liar." Quick as thought Mr. Howell grabbed an inkstand and hurled it at Mr. Pope, hitting him near the nose on the left cheek, knocking him down. Pope immediately got up, and though he had been badly cut and bruised by the heavy glass missile and his wound was bleeding profusely, he staggered back to the ticket window and asked Mr. Howell: "Where and when can I see you and settle this matter?" RIEL WANTED $100,000. Mr. Cunningham, of Texas, then addressed the convention upon cattle industry in Texas, which subject be handled very ably, claiming that the Texas fever would be robbed of all its tertm when it became thoroughly understood. Doreey Committed the Confesses How It Was Done. Newport, Not. 25.—Ever sine® the arrest of Allen W. Dorsey and bis wife for the murder of the latter's father, abundant startling and convincing evidence of their guilt has been continually received by the coroner, A .clear explanation of the whole affair was given in a confession by Emily Burton, Mrs. Dorsey's sister. Sunday morning she was taken with hemorrhage, and fearing death, made a secret confession to Detective Hammond and Coroner Stanhope, in which she is said to have stated that on the morning of the murder Mrs. Dorsey went to her father for money. The latter flew into a passion, refused her request, and said some hard things about Mr. Dorsey, which she repeated to the latter. Dorsey decided to "fix" the old man. All the tenants in the house were out save Mrs. Frank Trager, who was in the back yard. Mrs. Dorsey was sent out to entice Mrs. Trager into a remote place, and she (Emily) was sent up stairs to keep a-lookout Dorsey then crept into the dining room in his stocking feet and oommitted the crime. He to Alleged to Hare Asked That For Withdrawing. Montreal, Nov. 28.—Father Andre, speaking of the interviews between him and Riel, says the latter asked him to use his influence to obtain from the government a bribe of $100,000 as the price of Riel's withdrawal from the oountry. The rebel bad arrogantly declared that the Metis question was himself. In a subsequent interview Riel reduced his price to 9115,000, and afterwards said he would take whatever he could get. TOO LIBERAL FOR THEM. "You can see me right here and now," answered Howell, whereupon Mr. Pope walked through the inside entrance to the office, but could not get to Howell as there was a counter and iron screen around the private compartment. Mr. Pope drew his pistol and flred at Howell without hesitation, hitting him in the upper right breast. Howell staggered, but held his feet and drew a pistol, which he snapped at Pope with no effect, and it was afterward ascertained that the chambers of the pistol were all empty. At this juncture Watchman Porter, who is a special policeman as well, interfered and arrested Pope, and Howell sank onto a lounge near by. A carriage was summoned and orders given for the driver to proceed directly to Mr. Howell's home, but Mr. Howell countermanded the order and ordered tfeat he be taken to the offioeof Drs. Westmoreland and Howell. Dr. Dan Howell is his brother, and the wounded man there received every attention possible. He was placed on a cot bed in the private office, and only a few of his relatives were admitted. Mrs. Howell and her three children were summoned, and were greatly overcome. Clergymen Object to Governor Currier's . Co if cord, Nov. 26.—For many years it has been the custom in New Hampshire for the clergymen to read from their pulpits the governor's Thanksgiving proclamation on the 8unday preceding that holiday. As is well known Governor Currier is liberal in his religious viewB, and it so happened that in making up his proclamation this year the usual "thanksgiving to Almighty God" was omitted, and the people were merely called npon to observe the day as one of "thanksgiving, recreation and rejoicing," without Thanksgiving Proclamation. The cure of St. Eustache, County Two Mountains, positively refused to chant a service for the repose of Riel's soul. He said bis mind was made up in regard to Riel. Mffr. Fahre, bishop of this diocese, said: I would not refuse any priest the right of saying divine service on behalf of Riel, for, notwithstanding the fact that he erred for many years and must now be suffering iu purgatory for it, he forgave all his enemies, reconciled himself to the Roman Catholic church and expired like a Christian. It is sciui-officially announced from Madrid that the king is not only alive but that he is in exceptionally robust health. If this be true it is very remarkable that he has not been seen outside of his palace at El Pardo for nearly a fortnight. It is now known that at the beginning of the present month Queen Victoria was privately informed of King Alfonso's real .condition, which was then reported to be alarming, if not hopeless. Her majesty was much affected by this information and at onoe ordered a message of inquiry and sympathy to be forwarded to the king through the British legation in Madrid. Since that time die has received frequent bulletins of the king's health, and it is ■aid that these have lately grown more and more alarming. any itian that the people should meet in their respective places of worship and engage In religious exercises. Many of the clergy throughout the state refused to read the proclamation at all, while other* read it with various comments and ■crit Interns, and in many churches President Cleveland's proclamation, which suited the strictest church member, was read in place of the governor's. THEY WANT HIM HUNO. A Kail road Man Insane. Kentucky Citizens Angry at a Murderer's Trot, N. Y, Nov. 35.—Charles H. Fisher, for-many years chief engineer of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, is suffering from softening of the brain. He was some time ago retired on half pay. Mr. Fisher's mind has been wavering for many months, and it is believed that it will soon become nor wry to place him under restraint. He was one of the most successful railroad engineers in this country, and under his direction many of the great improvements to the Central-Hudson system were made. He is usually kept at home in Lansingburg, but frequently gets away and visit i the. stations in Troy and Albany, where ho tells the employes that Mr. Vanderbilt and the chief officials of the road are dead, and that he is in sole charge at the property.

The news of the reprieve of Robert Fowled, who so brutally murdered his niece, Miss Lydia Burnett, a handsome and accomplished young girl, 18 years of age, at Union county, oo Sunday, Aug. 16, for refusing his hand in marriage, anf who was tried in the September term; of court, convicted and sentenced to be hanged at Morganfield, Friday next, Nov. 27, has been received with indignation, and talk of mob law is again heard.

The reason for this is that the revenue ha* been very small •during the entire month. A halt has been called in all Wholesale and importing businesses. This is the season when the year's books are balanced. The great business of this month is of a retail kind for the holidays. The small dealers have nearly all made their purchases. On the other hand, the expenses of the government are fully as great as any other month in the year. The above is • reason that wCm£l, if nothing else, make it a bad time at which to make a call of bonds. There is no probability of anything of the kind being done at present, although much pressure is being brought from certain quarters to bring it ELECTIONS IN ENQLANC. Osb Meagre Returns—Pa Jubilant. tellitea So Far London, Nov. 25.—The election excitement is in full swing, and, notwithstanding the wretched weather, the streets, especially in the vicinity of the newspaper offices, are filled with eager and impatient crowds. The results promise to be full of surprises. There were elections in fifty-one constituencies. The polls dosed at 8 o'clock, but owing to the .Increased franchise and the cumfcaous methods of counting the vote it is not probable that the results in all the constituencies will be known to-night. At this hour complete returns have been received from only twenty boroughs and divisions. These give ten seats to Liberals, eight to Tories and two to Parnallites. The latter is just twice the number of seats the Parnellites expert/id to iMt from these places, and they are jubilant changed by washing away, and the damage . to shore improvements is serious.

Said he: "I want civil treatment and when I asked Mr. Howell concerning the train 18SA so as a gentMow and expected treatment as such. Mr. Howell aqfwered me in such a way as to arouse mv temper instantly and the result you know." Mr. Pope seemed irritated by the event and labored to retain his composure. He was having his wounded face dressed. Pope, a brother of tBe Mr. Pope who was in the difficulty, said: "I know nothing about it except such as I hear." Fowler has asked to have his sentence Commuted to imprisonment for life.

Ottawa, Nov. 25.—Lord Melgund, secretary to the Marquis of Lansdowne, governor general of Canada, baa resigned his position and will return to England at once. The reason assigned for his resignation is the advanoed age and weakness of his father, the Karl of Mlnto. Lord Melgund is heir to his father's title and estates. There is also a rumor afloat that ope of the reasons for Lord Melgund's retirement is a disagreement with the Canadian military authorities, which occurred while he was on duty in the northwest suppressing the rebellion. Lord Melgund was second in command of the Canadian forces under Gen. Middleton, but while the battle of Batoche was in progress he received a telegram ordering him back to Ottawa.

"I arrived here on tha 21st Inst on my way to the mouth of the Lena river. From Tomsk the roads were the worst known for years, owing to the almost constant rains during the past summer. In many places tha regular track could not be followed at all, and temporary roads or paths lay ttuvogh swamps, cultivated fields, or forests. Owing to this unexpected delay I shall have to wait here until the winter road opens to Yakutsk, probably in the early part of November. I shall then proceed to Yakutsk aa rapidly as possible, fit out the expedition, for the north coast, and, returning from the Delta, try to reach Irkutsk before the spring breaks up.

The Central people appear to regard the injunction with contempt, and will probably be virtually, if not nominally, in contral of the West Shore, aa it is likely that as a last resort Mr. Vanderbilt would take it himself. Many brokers profess to believe the delay in berving the injunction part* of a scheme by which Jay Gould, Philip Armour and the Standard Oil company, by joint action, hope to foree down the stock and oil markets.
