Occasion Requires His Record In Part. Plymouth, Mass., Nov. 8.—The accident to the Pavonia and the captain's mistake in supposing Duxbury beach to be a part of the north shore, recalls similar mistakes made by mariners. Masters of coasting vessels. Nova Scotia men in particular, have taken the Gurnet light for Thacher's island light, and steering southward, have only discovered their error when they found themeelvee aground near Manomet point Some years ago, a Cunarder, inward bound, sighted the Gurnet light, and supposing it to be the light on Thacher's island, bore to the south in the direction of Plymouth bay. Two lady passengers of Kingston were ooovlnced that the spit of land they saw was the Gurnet, and the captain, finally made aware of his error, altered his oourse and came safely into Boston harbor. Thacher's island light, like that at the Gurnet, isa double light, but the lights of the former are further apart, and one is higher than the nther. Among the wrecks cm this shore, that of the Volma, a Mediterranean fruiter, which went to pieces on the rooks of Manomet, is still fresh in the minds of many. Still later came the law of the Little Belle, a small pleasure steamer bound from Boston to New Bedford. She had on board a number of passengers, among whom was ex-Mayor Richie, of fioxbury. The day was a windy one in March, and the steamer at nightfall cast anchor near High Mta| ledge to ride out the gale. There she was seen by the dwellers at Brant Bock. In the morning she was gone, having foundered during the night, and all on board perished. In the opinion of seafaring men hereabout? the second officer of the Pavonia made a fatal blunder in not returning to the vessel upon discovering where she lay. Then the steamer would not have taken a southerly course upon getting afloat, woald not have struck on the Manomet shore and would, have been in Boston harbor an hour or two earlier. When lie returned from Plymouth it was too lata Capt Holmes, pf the life saving service, is also criticked for not boarding the steamer instead of conveying the officer to Plymouth. Capt. Holmes could easily have given the Pavonia her bearings and piloted her Into safe waters, and delay would have bsen avoided. It is evident that ill feeling between Capt Holmes and the officer—the result of a misunderstanding—prevented the carrying out of thg proper plan, and thus endangered some 400 Uvea N«w York, Nov. i—The career of Luujs Bieral, who shot and severely wounded Surveyor of the Port H. a Beattie yesterday, to redolent of adventure. Bieral to a native of one of the republics of South America. Although 78 years old, his hair to black as a raVen's wing. He to below the medium sise, and has a swarthy complexion. Bieral came to this city about forty years ago, and has since then led a startling life. Sporting men have been his principal associates, and he to personally known to many of them all over the United State*. At times he has been a prize' fighter, gambler and politician. Hp has always been a soldier of fortune. One of his first adventures was a prise fight up the Hudson river in the vicinity of Tarrytown. Bieral was declared the winner. He to noted among his followers as being handy with the knife or pistol. Previous to the war he was arrested in Boston on the charge of killing his mistress. Jealousy was said to be the motive. The woman's body was fonnd in the Charles river riddled with bullets. Bieral was tried and acquitted. He subsequently went to the war and fought in Sickles' brigade. He made a record for brave and gallant conduct as a member of CoL Baker's California regiment at Balls Bluff, when Baker was badly wounded. Bieral carried him off the field on hia shoulders amid a raking fire. It was a matter ot rumor among the men that Bieral had "killed his man" in California, but the rumor to not known to have been substantiated. On returning to New York, after the war, Bieral opened a gambling house. In 1869 he was one of the men employed by the anti-Fisk party to attack the Grand Opera house, then known as "Fort Brie," and to oust Qould and Flsk. It Is said to have been in reward for hto services on this occasion that Bieral wu appointed a night inspector in the custom house. OetL Kiokles, by whose infioenoe it ii said Bieral got the place, was counsel for one of the Erie factious at the time. On the trial of Ed. Stokes for the murder of Ftok Stokes accused Bieral of having been hirec by friends of Ftok to waylay him. Bieral ii accused of a murderous attack upon a fellov inspector named Voges some years ago. Hi is said to have acted as second for John S(or rissey in one of the tatter's fights. He hai at one time considerable reputation himsoL In a personal quarrel between Foreman Welder and Junes Matthewson, a member of the committee which called on Swift to obtain an advance In wages, the foreman discharged him, not, he said, because he served on the committee, but for cause. The Knights, however, say that he was discharged owing to the service he had rendered to the organization. It was understood that the men would receive an Increase of 50 cents per day for the difference caused by the return, and they are very well satisfied. They appeared at 7 o'clock and even went to work. The beef pushers, the men who carry the cut meat about, and the other laborers came to inquire whether their wages would be raised any, and when told the raise did dot apply to them they refused to go to work. They said they were willing toi work ten hours if the ooolers reoeived twenty five cents more per day, and the iceman twenty cents per hour. Mr. Swift said the advance would be ooncedsd. Hie men, however, refused to go to work and quit, and the 1,500 butchers left with them, making a total of 2,000. Nels Morris' beef loaders and laborers were waiting to see the outcome of the parky at Swift's and when they heard the others refused to return they left, but the beef butchers here, numbering about 1,400, refused to accompany them. Not having any one to carry off the meat when cut, the Morris house was soon full of it, and the butchors had to stop work in consequence. About 1,600 or 1.700 men are out of work there at present Armour's men will not go out They ase satisfied with their pay and the ten hour system.The Friends of the Candidates In Nineteen States To-daj Striving to Save the Country from Utter Rain by Electing Each Their Own Party's Representatives—From Figures Duly Authenticated New York Will Have Three Mayors—Random Notes Here and There During the Battle of the Camden, N.

OP INTEREST TO BANKERS. New York, Not. a—the large hall of the Cooper Union *u packed with people last evening and hundreds more were unable to gain admission to hear Grand Master Workman Powderly speak for Henry George. Mr. Powderly was applauded for several minutes when he appeared on the platform. He said that he had come to New York to refute tho slanders against the labor cause that had appeared in certain papers. He had come to ask the people not only to vote for Henry George but to urge their neighbors to vote with them. They were not voting for this city alone. The eyes of the whole western hemisphere were turned toward New York. They wore expected to redeem the city from disgrace and to disprove the insults that had. been cast upon them to the effect that they were enemies of social order and at honestly acquired and justly held property.. He believed, as Mr. George did, that it was possible under a just social system for every man to earn enough to support himself and family comfortably. In other words, he believed it possible to abolish poverty, and to do so without impairing the rights of property. He believed, as Mr. George did, that no nan had a right to monopolize the use of . thdse things which God had JUao to TieaiUJj pselals—The Attorney Oeseral's Opinion. WABHnrovoir, Not. &—The opinion of the attorney general that none but interest Hearing bonds be used as security for national bank oircvlatlon was anticipated by treasury officials, but It to nevertheless a subject of great interest in treasury circles. The great expense Involved m replacing called 8 per cento with other imjre expensive bonds makes it probabie that many banks will prefer to surrender a portion of their currency, and this presents to trftsnry officials a* important and difficult problem respecting the Maintenance and regulation of the circulating medium of the country. Treasury peopfe are not disposed to dlfcpaatha question at present, preferring to await the course of events and to give the matter careful consideration. Richard Moore fell from a ladder in the npera house and was killed while Mr. Blaine was spoaklng. Moore, who was the property man of the house, had ascended the ladder to restore a flag that had got out of plaoe. Mr. Blaino spoke here in the evening and closed the campaign. The election day to progressing quietly and a full vote is expected. The Republicans have hopes of cutting down the majority to a minimum, if not to wipe it out.

Hartford, Nov. 2.—Election day finds the leaders of both parties claiming certain victory, yet the situation a* a matter of fact is one of the greatest uncertainty. The Republicans are confident that the legislature is thoirs without a doubt. Their majority last year in the house was eleven, and they expect to increase it this year. On the other hand, the Democratic still hunt for members of the house has been effective, and William H. Baruum, who will in all probability be rewarded with the United States aonatorsli Ip in cose of a Democratic suooess in the house, Ijau put in a tromendous amount of hard work, and a Democratic house may be among the surprises of to-night. "The strikers," said a Knight of Labor, "have merged the affair into a question of hours and will stick for eight hours. If the employers do not give in Armour's men will be called out." A packer said that he didn't think the strike would last very Ions, and that all the men would return to work by Wednesday. There was no likelihood of the pork hand* becoming involved, as they were apparently satisfied to work ten hours. Another packer expressed similar views. (riven to land, the air, the water. He knew that George would make an honest and efficient mayor, rooting out costly and demoralising abuses, and be hoped that the people would then put Mr. George in the White House to extend the good work. (Cheers). The triumph of Henry George's ideas would mean industrial freedom, and this alone would bring true national prosperity, the prosperity not of a class but of all the people. Mr. Ggprge also spoke. He sold the people could elect hfcn U they exerted their full strength. Even If defeated, the cause had achieved success. The discussion which had begun In this campaign would never be checked until society should bo reorganised upon a basis of Justice and equal rights to all men. ; Mr. Fowderif and Mr. George subsequently addrewud overflow meetings in the vicinity of the hall.

Hare than thpt, serious charges have been preferred against President Tomlin, of the eastern league and laid before General Master Workman Powderly and the executive committee of the Knights of Labor.

On 'change the betting quotations wore as follows: Even money that Beaver has 35,000 plurality; $50 to $100 that he has 15,000 plurality, and $50 to $5 that be has 10,000 plurality. Occasion Requires His Record In Part. Plymouth, Mass., Nov. 8.—The accident to the Pavonia and the captain's mistake in supposing Duxbury beach to be a part of the north shore, recalls similar mistakes made by mariners. Masters of coasting vessels. Nova Scotia men in particular, have taken the Gurnet light for Thacher's island light, and steering southward, have only discovered their error when they found themeelvee aground near Manomet point Some years ago, a Cunarder, inward bound, sighted the Gurnet light, and supposing it to be the light on Thacher's island, bore to the south in the direction of Plymouth bay. Two lady passengers of Kingston were ooovlnced that the spit of land they saw was the Gurnet, and the captain, finally made aware of his error, altered his oourse and came safely into Boston harbor. Thacher's island light, like that at the Gurnet, isa double light, but the lights of the former are further apart, and one is higher than the nther. Among the wrecks cm this shore, that of the Volma, a Mediterranean fruiter, which went to pieces on the rooks of Manomet, is still fresh in the minds of many. Still later came the law of the Little Belle, a small pleasure steamer bound from Boston to New Bedford. She had on board a number of passengers, among whom was ex-Mayor Richie, of fioxbury. The day was a windy one in March, and the steamer at nightfall cast anchor near High Mta| ledge to ride out the gale. There she was seen by the dwellers at Brant Bock. In the morning she was gone, having foundered during the night, and all on board perished. In the opinion of seafaring men hereabout? the second officer of the Pavonia made a fatal blunder in not returning to the vessel upon discovering where she lay. Then the steamer would not have taken a southerly course upon getting afloat, woald not have struck on the Manomet shore and would, have been in Boston harbor an hour or two earlier. When lie returned from Plymouth it was too lata Capt Holmes, pf the life saving service, is also criticked for not boarding the steamer instead of conveying the officer to Plymouth. Capt. Holmes could easily have given the Pavonia her bearings and piloted her Into safe waters, and delay would have bsen avoided. It is evident that ill feeling between Capt Holmes and the officer—the result of a misunderstanding—prevented the carrying out of thg proper plan, and thus endangered some 400 Uvea N«w York, Nov. i—The career of Luujs Bieral, who shot and severely wounded Surveyor of the Port H. a Beattie yesterday, to redolent of adventure. Bieral to a native of one of the republics of South America. Although 78 years old, his hair to black as a raVen's wing. He to below the medium sise, and has a swarthy complexion. Bieral came to this city about forty years ago, and has since then led a startling life. Sporting men have been his principal associates, and he to personally known to many of them all over the United State*. At times he has been a prize' fighter, gambler and politician. Hp has always been a soldier of fortune. One of his first adventures was a prise fight up the Hudson river in the vicinity of Tarrytown. Bieral was declared the winner. He to noted among his followers as being handy with the knife or pistol. Previous to the war he was arrested in Boston on the charge of killing his mistress. Jealousy was said to be the motive. The woman's body was fonnd in the Charles river riddled with bullets. Bieral was tried and acquitted. He subsequently went to the war and fought in Sickles' brigade. He made a record for brave and gallant conduct as a member of CoL Baker's California regiment at Balls Bluff, when Baker was badly wounded. Bieral carried him off the field on hia shoulders amid a raking fire. It was a matter ot rumor among the men that Bieral had "killed his man" in California, but the rumor to not known to have been substantiated. On returning to New York, after the war, Bieral opened a gambling house. In 1869 he was one of the men employed by the anti-Fisk party to attack the Grand Opera house, then known as "Fort Brie," and to oust Qould and Flsk. It Is said to have been in reward for hto services on this occasion that Bieral wu appointed a night inspector in the custom house. OetL Kiokles, by whose infioenoe it ii said Bieral got the place, was counsel for one of the Erie factious at the time. On the trial of Ed. Stokes for the murder of Ftok Stokes accused Bieral of having been hirec by friends of Ftok to waylay him. Bieral ii accused of a murderous attack upon a fellov inspector named Voges some years ago. Hi is said to have acted as second for John S(or rissey in one of the tatter's fights. He hai at one time considerable reputation himsoL In a personal quarrel between Foreman Welder and Junes Matthewson, a member of the committee which called on Swift to obtain an advance In wages, the foreman discharged him, not, he said, because he served on the committee, but for cause. The Knights, however, say that he was discharged owing to the service he had rendered to the organization. It was understood that the men would receive an Increase of 50 cents per day for the difference caused by the return, and they are very well satisfied. They appeared at 7 o'clock and even went to work. The beef pushers, the men who carry the cut meat about, and the other laborers came to inquire whether their wages would be raised any, and when told the raise did dot apply to them they refused to go to work. They said they were willing toi work ten hours if the ooolers reoeived twenty five cents more per day, and the iceman twenty cents per hour. Mr. Swift said the advance would be ooncedsd. Hie men, however, refused to go to work and quit, and the 1,500 butchers left with them, making a total of 2,000. Nels Morris' beef loaders and laborers were waiting to see the outcome of the parky at Swift's and when they heard the others refused to return they left, but the beef butchers here, numbering about 1,400, refused to accompany them. Not having any one to carry off the meat when cut, the Morris house was soon full of it, and the butchors had to stop work in consequence. About 1,600 or 1.700 men are out of work there at present Armour's men will not go out They ase satisfied with their pay and the ten hour system.The Friends of the Candidates In Nineteen States To-daj Striving to Save the Country from Utter Rain by Electing Each Their Own Party's Representatives—From Figures Duly Authenticated New York Will Have Three Mayors—Random Notes Here and There During the Battle of the Camden, N. J., Nov. 2.—Mr. Blaine addressed a large audience at the opera house at Trenton yesterday afternoon, making a strong tariff speech. Afterward he was tendered a reception at tho Lochiel club house by the Young lien's Republican club. Later he left for this city in company with Senator SewelL Mr. Blaine In Jersey. OP INTEREST TO BANKERS. New York, Not. a—the large hall of the Cooper Union *u packed with people last evening and hundreds more were unable to gain admission to hear Grand Master Workman Powderly speak for Henry George. Mr. Powderly was applauded for several minutes when he appeared on the platform. He said that he had come to New York to refute tho slanders against the labor cause that had appeared in certain papers. He had come to ask the people not only to vote for Henry George but to urge their neighbors to vote with them. They were not voting for this city alone. The eyes of the whole western hemisphere were turned toward New York. They wore expected to redeem the city from disgrace and to disprove the insults that had. been cast upon them to the effect that they were enemies of social order and at honestly acquired and justly held property.. He believed, as Mr. George did, that it was possible under a just social system for every man to earn enough to support himself and family comfortably. In other words, he believed it possible to abolish poverty, and to do so without impairing the rights of property. He believed, as Mr. George did, that no nan had a right to monopolize the use of . thdse things which God had JUao to TieaiUJj pselals—The Attorney Oeseral's Opinion. WABHnrovoir, Not. &—The opinion of the attorney general that none but interest Hearing bonds be used as security for national bank oircvlatlon was anticipated by treasury officials, but It to nevertheless a subject of great interest in treasury circles. The great expense Involved m replacing called 8 per cento with other imjre expensive bonds makes it probabie that many banks will prefer to surrender a portion of their currency, and this presents to trftsnry officials a* important and difficult problem respecting the Maintenance and regulation of the circulating medium of the country. Treasury peopfe are not disposed to dlfcpaatha question at present, preferring to await the course of events and to give the matter careful consideration. Richard Moore fell from a ladder in the npera house and was killed while Mr. Blaine was spoaklng. Moore, who was the property man of the house, had ascended the ladder to restore a flag that had got out of plaoe. Mr. Blaino spoke here in the evening and closed the campaign. The election day to progressing quietly and a full vote is expected. The Republicans have hopes of cutting down the majority to a minimum, if not to wipe it out. The Democrats, liowevor, fully count on the usual majority. In Connecticut. Gen. Van Allen'! Batata. Newport, R. t, Nov. a—A declaration baa been filed in -the probate ooort of the personal property of Gen. J. H. Van Allen, who committed solcfaU in August last by tapping overboard from the steamer Aurania while in midpoean. The inventory amount? bo $1,980,000, which is bequeathed to Us son and grandchildren. The deoeaa«d, while bequeathing the paintings in his Ochre Point cottage, valued at 180,000, to his son and grandchildren, Inserted a prvvtpion In his will by which the Museum of Art at New York may posgihly receive them. Hartford, Nov. 2.—Election day finds the leaders of both parties claiming certain victory, yet the situation a* a matter of fact is one of the greatest uncertainty. The Republicans are confident that the legislature is thoirs without a doubt. Their majority last year in the house was eleven, and they expect to increase it this year. On the other hand, the Democratic still hunt for members of the house has been effective, and William H. Baruum, who will in all probability be rewarded with the United States aonatorsli Ip in cose of a Democratic suooess in the house, Ijau put in a tromendous amount of hard work, and a Democratic house may be among the surprises of to-night. "The strikers," said a Knight of Labor, "have merged the affair into a question of hours and will stick for eight hours. If the employers do not give in Armour's men will be called out." A packer said that he didn't think the strike would last very Ions, and that all the men would return to work by Wednesday. There was no likelihood of the pork hand* becoming involved, as they were apparently satisfied to work ten hours. Another packer expressed similar views. (riven to land, the air, the water. He knew that George would make an honest and efficient mayor, rooting out costly and demoralising abuses, and be hoped that the people would then put Mr. George in the White House to extend the good work. (Cheers). The triumph of Henry George's ideas would mean industrial freedom, and this alone would bring true national prosperity, the prosperity not of a class but of all the people. Mr. Ggprge also spoke. He sold the people could elect hfcn U they exerted their full strength. Even If defeated, the cause had achieved success. The discussion which had begun In this campaign would never be checked until society should bo reorganised upon a basis of Justice and equal rights to all men. ; Mr. Fowderif and Mr. George subsequently addrewud overflow meetings in the vicinity of the hall.

This spurious coin is nearly a perfect counterfeit of the genuine, the only difference being that It is a trifle light*-. Borne 111,000 of the stuff was found concealed in a cave near Cedar lake. Hindle confessed to the detectives that it Is made by a well organised gang located near Omaha. Hindle has served a term in the Wabash penitentiary for safe blowing. He also confesses that a gang has been organised to burglarise several of the prominent banks and business houses in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Buffalo, Nqv. 2.—President Cleveland lost his vo?e in this city this year, having changed his residence. His name has been removed from the poll list of the first district of the Ninth ward, the list being marked "removed from the district" Judge Daniels will receive a heavy vote in this county.

He-to known by some of his friends as a Frenchman, by others as a Portuguese, and by others as a Spaniard. A custom house official said that Bleral bad always kept up his acquaintance with sporting characters, and was a chum of Billy Edwards, the famous light weight, now "bouncer" at the Hoffman house. After Btoral had calmed down at the station house he said to a reporter: VJ only want to say this. That man Beattie was my Judge, jury and executioner. I was given $8 by a lady and for that be discharged me. All my friends went and asked him to give some reason for discharging me. He refused to do so. He convicted me without any evidenoe and gave me no ohanoe to defend myself. No man oan hare a fair show from him. When I found nothing else would do I determined to shoot him. I %*ied everything else first He ruined my family, (or I oould get nothing to do to support them." Tbe Favonia is again afloat and brought safely to bar dock. The work of pumping out tbe water was continued until the ship was lightened enough to leave her cradle of mud. Two large holes in her bottom were filled with blankets and other smaller i leaks were partially stopped by a big robber cloth that was drawn over the steamer's bottom and tightly fastened. With this huge plaster over her wounds tbe steamer was easily kspt free from water by using the pumpe. j ■any1 Wage Workers Involved* Philadelphia, Hot. & y Arrangements have been made (or %ooot»reno» on Wednesday between Master Workman Powderly and the aid committee of. the Manufacturer? association looking to » settlement by arbitration of the trouble between WflliaihPTTroth, Jr. & Co. and their employes.
