Emer was a foreman in the cooper shop of H. CI a men & Hons' brewery on East Fortyf-ovonth street, and Helmer was a workman uuder him. The latter was a morose and unsoeiable man, not mnch liked by his companions on general principles, and particularly because he was not a good union man. He was a member of German Coopers' Union No. 1, but did not pay his dues regularly. He Anally became so much in arrears that the walking delegate of the union notified Foreman Emer that the other men would not work with him any longer. About 5 o'clock on the afternoon of July 30 Emer stepped over to where Helmer was at work and told him of this: Rvntii of Foreman Kmer.

DISCOURSE BY REV. DR. TALMAGE ITS PROCLAMATION, Bbiwbtirs, N. Y., Aug. 22.—A defalcation in the Putnam County Savings bank, accidentally discovered last week, fell like a clap of tbundpr from a clear sky, and is the topic of the hour. Fortunately the defalcation was not overwhelmisg, and the institution, having a healthy surplus, is not likely to collapse. The offender is Ferdinand A. Hoyt, a man past middle age, who has lived here the greater part of his life, has been town clerk twice, and is trustee of the Baptist church. State Bask Examiner Richardson came her* last week and made an examination similar to 6n6 two yean ago, but the results were radically different. On Wednesday he found that about $25,000 were missing, and, on calling the attention of Cashier Hoyt to it, was surprised to hear him confess that he was responsible.

Lokdok, Auk. 23.—Not only will all the Tories be on hud {or Thursday's debate on the league proclamation, but the Liberals will (urn oat in full force also. Urgent whips hare been issued by both parties. There is an eager interest shown in the expected proceedings, and already most of the available room for members and spectators has been secured. DaifVBR, Aug. 22.—Instead of Sheriff Kendall being caught in ambush by the Indians, as was reported, he sent word by a courier who arrived at Glenwood Springs Saturday, that he would leave with 150 cowboys, and expected to have some hard fighting. Kendall reports that the Utes are receiving reinforcements all the time. Another courier from Meeker has arrived at Glenwood Springs, and says there is no change in.the condition of affairs at Meeker except that Capt. Gusline. with his Aspen company, hod arrived. The arrival of this company, affording better protection to the women and children at Meeker, will enable Sheriff Kendall and the cowboys to leave and hunt up the Indians, who am reported to be camped to the north of Meeker. The other state troops win have been collecting at Glenwood Springs are now en route to Meeker and expect to arrive there Sunday. Home express the opinion that the Indians are hardly aware of the rapid transit of the state troops to Meeker. There was no definite news from ths frontier yesterday, but by this time Gen. Reardon's command will have reached Meeker if they have not encountered the Indians on the way. Gen. Reardon has tried to guard against the possibility of an ambush by the use of scouts. Couriers were stationed at a distance of five miles from each other, with instructions to ride at fuil speed and to spare neither horse nor man if they had an important message. There will be considerable anxiety uutil it is known whether or not the troops have passed safely through the narrow and dangerous canyons leading to Meeker. Washington, Aug. 22.—The president has b-en at the executive mansion but little during the past week. He is living an ideal summer life at Oak View. In bis suburban home he ia completely the master of his own time and movements. He is free from the constant importunity of the offloe seeker and can work or rest as may best suit his humor. Tne cloee of the week will probably see Mrs. Cleveland under the same roof with him. The Hamptons, Aug. 21.—"The Facta Proved" is the subject of discourse by the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., today. His text is from Acts xv, 8: "We are witnesses." Following 1s his sermon In full: Sunday's games: At Cincinnati—Brooklyn, 11; Cincinnati, 9. At Cleveland—Metropolitan, 7; Cleveland, 5. At Baltimore- Louisville, 8; Baltimore, 3. At St. Louis— Athletic, 5; St. Louis, 1. In the days of George Stephenson, the perfector of the locomotive engine, the scientista proved conclusively that * railway train could never be driven by steam power successfully and without peril; but the rushing express trains from Liverpool to Edinburgh, and from Edinburgh to London, have made all tha nation witnesses of the splendid achievement. Machinists and navigators proved conclusively that a steamer could never cross the Atlantlo ocean; but no sooner had they successfully proved {the Impossibility of such An undertaking than the work was done, and the passengers on the Cunard and the Inman and the National and the White Star lines are witnesses. There went np a guffaw of wise laughter at Professor Morse's proposition to make the lightning of heaven his errand boy, and it was proved conclusively that the thing could never be done; but now all the news of the wide world, by Associated Press, put in your hands every morning and night, has made all nations witnesses. So in the time of Christ it was proved conclusively that it was impossible for him to rise from the dead. It was shown logically that when he was dead he was dead, and the heart and the liver and the lungs having oeased to perform their offices, the limbs would be rigid beyond all power at friction or arousal. They showed it to be an absolute absurdity that the dead Christ should ever get up alive; but no sooner had they proved this than the dead Christ arose, and the disciples beheld him, haard his voice and talked with him, and they took the witness stand to prove that to be true which the wiseacres of the day bad proved to be impossible; the record of the experiment and of the testimony is in the text: "Him bath God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses." Mr. Gladstone is expected to make an interesting, if not important speech, and thera is some curiosity to hear what Mr. Chamberlain will say. His speech at Birmingham Saturday night is not regarded as committing lii:u to support the Tories, though ha left no doubt that he would C.ct with them on the whole, and w mid certainly not go over to the Glidstouian ranks. It is suspected that he will assume an independent position In the «le' 'ato and give the government some hard knocks. He is now about in the lama position aj w'wa lie branched off from the Lilxn 1C •rurally. He is a party all by hirai.'lr, » in no.-icy o one, and except for his rem.iruuble facility for making bitter apeeciici*, is not a very formidable quantity In political affairs. He is a melancholy example of the late which attends mere opportunism in E'litlish politics. His Birmingham apcech s clii fly important as indicating that the government cannot probably count on the f.iii .support of the Unionists. Although President Cleveland has travel Di far less than most men who have reached his years and have had his exporionce in publio affairs, he promises to make a good record as a tourist before this year is over. When he was elected president be had never been further west than Cleveland, and the visit to that city was made when he was a young man. He had visited Wnshlngton on business for a day some ten years ago, but he had never been in New England. He was not fond of (ravel and his business did not give many opportunities to do so, had he so desired. Baltimore, Aug. 22.—Jim Davis, the third baseman of the Baltimore club, was reinstated yesterday and left in the afternoon for St Louis to join his club. The 2lub has been weakened to such an extent by the laying off of Davis that Manager Barnie lecided to pocket his pride aiA put Davis to work again. "Take your tools away when yon knock off," he added, "and stop at the office for your money. I will have to lay you off." The oashier promised to make prompt rssitution. He explained that the deficit had wen a nightmare to him for year*, and his Dnly consolation was that some day he night be in a position to make up the deficit without disgrace. He began his filching in 1883, and continued it for several years under the very eyes of the trustees. From time to time he restored part of his stealings and covered up his crookedness by false entries. The bank is under the same roof as A. F. Lobdeli & Go.'t country store, of which Cashier Hoyt had a third Interest. The defaulting cashier met the bank officials and begged, with tears In his eyas, for mercy. He made an assignment for the benefit of the institution which, with property contributed by his wife, more than covered the amount of his peculations. He rated his store interest at 115,000 and real estate at 110,000, exclusive of bis home, which he mortgaged for C11,000. The repentant cashier resigned, and the bank engaged him at (100 a month to manage the bank's interest in the store and make himself generally useful in the bank. As he turned away after thus speaking Helmer struck him in the head with his heavy cooper's hammer and felled him to the floor. He struck the prostrate man again and again until his shopmates pulled him away and took the hammer from him. He tried to draw a knife and menaced them, but tlicy held Jlim fast until Policeman Maloney, of Capt Wart's command, arrested him. By this time Emer was able to go to the station house and make a complaint against him. He was advised to go to the hospital, but refused and went home. The standing of the League and American Association clubs to date is as follows: The Championstp Record. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. Won Lost. Won. Lost. Detroit 68 84 St. Louis.....

Helmer was committed next day to await the result of the foreman's injuries He is now in the Tomb*. Dr. Kataenmayer, Emer's physician, has been importuned nearly every day since for a certificate that Emer was out of danger, so that Helmer could be released on bait. But the doctor was not able to declare the patient out of danger, and refused the certificate. Tbe president has notioed that it is with expressions of commendation that the preas generally has commented on the short trips he has already taken away from Washington and that hi* proposed long trip this (all meets with general approval. No one of his predecessors ever had such urgent and impressively delivered invitations from so many communities as he, and these have brought out the' fact, which he has, with no little pleasure, observed, that there will be no disposition to criticiss his trips ss junketing tours. AN AVONDALE FARMER TV.is 1 act, taken together with the probable (Hfilrui!,)' of getting a full attendance of the disheartened Tories through the remainder of tho nenrion, may cause the government* good (I ill of emliarrsssment. There is an •excellent opportunity for a "deal" as matters st ind, by which Home of tho Unionists could feather their futuro nesth at small expense of ■principle. It was to avoid such a transaction, involving the government in a possible •defeat in the closing days of tbe session, that -Mr. Smith | ut so much urgency into his whip, almost b-gging the Conservatives not to desert the House until the adjournment. Baa a Desperate Struggle with Two Thieving Farm Hands. Avondalb, N. J., Aug. aa—The residents of Avondale are on the trail of two German (arm hands, who brutally ana ill ted and tried to rob Jacob Gillman, their employer, who is 76 years old, and his wife, who is seven years younger, on Saturday morning. The old man is a truck farmer, and came to this city on Saturday morning to dispose of his produce. SAVED FROM CRIME YESTERDAY'S DROWNINGS. The most Interesting scene at Glenwood Springs yesterday was;tbe services at the Catholic church, which were conducted by Father Edward Downy. Before mass he said: "I have not time to preach to-day, for tbe boys near Meeker need me. It is my parish, and my duty is to attend the calls of the sick. I start after mass. If I get scalped or anything happens to me, you must know that the dear little church in Glenwood Springs does not owe one dollar. If all goes well I hope to say mass here next Sunday. If not, we'll hope and trust in God." Simple as the words were they were eloquent. Every one in the audience was fairly thrilled by the calm manner and simple talk of Father Downey. Some of the women and children eried and men used to tbe hardships and dangers of the frontier were deeply affected. After mass the women and those men who could not go to Meeker came forward to bid tho brave priest good-by. Many devout prayers ascended last night that the heroic priest may pass through the mountain canyons in safety. The excitement at Glenwood Springs is increasing and will continue to do ro until the safe arrival of the troops is known, and until the result of the fight be tween Sheriff Kendall's little band and the hostile savages is known. Ily the Prompt Action of HI* 17-Tur- A College Professor Loses Bis Life at Old Danghtsr. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28.—Dr. Nathaniel Archer Randolph, professor of hygiene in the universit/of Pennsylvania, and residing at No. 133 Price street, Germantown, was drowned yesterday afterpoon at Longport, at;the lower end of this beach. Dr. Randolph and his wife were bathing in tbe surf, and getting beyond their depth became exhausted and called for help Mr. Topliff Johnson, of Germantown, went to their rescue and succeeded in getting both ashore, bM in an unconscious condition. Dr. Remington Frischmuth, who was present, made every effort to resuscitate Dr. Randolph, working at it for over three hours, but without avail. Mrs. Randolph was restored to consciousness. Atlantic City. Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—Pretty 17-yearold Mary Gallagher, of Wrightsville, Camden county, N. J., was wounded in the hand yesterday afternoon by the accidental discharge of a revolver, which shs was trying lo take away from her father. Mary had just returned from Sunday school, and as she entered the front yard of her home she heard the voice of her father in violent altoroation with a neighbor named David Thorpe. She hurried through the house into the back yard and there saw her father excitedly brandishing a revolver in Neighbor Thorpe's face and threatening to shoot him. The young girl at once begged her angry father to put away the weapon and besought the neighbor to leave the grounds. Both msn were too angry to heed her, and, fearing that her father would commit murder, she rushed between the two men, and, crying "Papa, don't shoot," grasped her father's arm and tried to take the pistol from him. Be resisted, and in the struggle the weapon was discharged, and tbe young girl dropped to the ground with the blood flowing from her wounded hand and her face pale with fright and pain. It is his intention or hope to visit the Pacific slope next year. Returning home at noon, he went up stairs to take a needed rest. No sooner had he left the dining room than Herman, one of the farm hands, seized Mrs. QiUman, bound hor feet and hands with a rope and gagged her with an old shirt. The old man, hearing the noise made by the scuffle, hurried down stairs, only to be met by Carl Spieler, the other hired man, who grabbed him by the throat and demanded his money. lb; Times says: "Mr. Chamlierlain simply urge* that tbe policy of tbe government will dCD thC-1 aguo good rather than harm. He is «. p.ir.ited from the government on only a small question of oxpediency, but he is divided from the opposition by a vital difference in principle. It would therefore be only by a highly artificial process of reasoning ■m l it total forgetfulnesi of polltioal perj Mjiective that he could vote against the government."Fatal Quarrel Over a Love Affair. Little Rook, Ark., Aug. 22.—A terrible tragedy was enacted in tbe Chickasaw Nation on Friday last. Two families named Harrison and Graham were traveling through tbe territory to Tekas. Harr&on and Graham became involved iu a quarrel about Harrison's daughter, whom young Graham wanted to marry but the girl's father declined to allow the marriage. TV young man threatened to shoot Harrison, and the hitter's son believing his father's life In danger shot Graham, Inflicting a mortal wound. A young brother of tbe wounded man, seeing his brother fall, shot young Haarison through the arm when the elder Iltrrison, who had armed himself, reappeared and was also shot by Graham. Members of the families, who were absent from the camp, hearing tbe firing came up and prevented further bloodshed. The three men will die. Now, let me play the skeptic for a moment. "There is no God," says the skeptic, "for X have never seen him with my physical eyesight. Tour Bible is a pack of contradictions. There never was a miracle. Lazarus was not raised from the dead, and the water was never turned into wine. Tour religion is an imposition on the credulity of the ages." There is an aged man moving in that pew as though be would like to respond. Here are hundreds of people with faces a little flushed at these announcements, and all through this house there is a suppressed feeling which would like tospenk out in behalf of the truth of our glorious Christianity, as in the day" of the text, crying out: "We are witnesses!" At this juncture Herman became frightened and ran away, and Mrc. Gillman, who had succeeded in untying the rope that bound her, seised an old gun and tried to brain Carl. He evaded the Mow and wrenched the gun from her hand. Then he ran up stairs, closely followed by the old man, who had in turn seised the gun. The Garotte says: "Mr. Chamberlain must now clioose whether he will become a Liberal or Join the ranks of the Coarcionists. We will rejoice to see him moving in the right direc'.iou." The Post regards the different between Mr. Chamberlain'* views and those of tho xovernment as possessing an academical and not a practical character. "His lata spewh," it says "entirely sets at rest any ridiculous supposition that he intends to secede from tbe Unionists." Burlington, N. J., Aug. 22.—At 9 o'clock yesterday morning little Maud Carter was drowned In the river, in front of her home, and in the sight of her parents. The girl was 9 years of age and tbe daughter of Frank S. Carter, of the firm of Patrick & Carter, the Philadelpnia electricians. He resides in an elegant villa on the green bank above St. Mary's hall. Maud was playing in a boat near her father's steam yacht, tho Laura Buck. She was suddenly taken with an epileptic lit and fell into the water. The father and mother were at the time standing on the lawn in front of the house, but before they oould reach her she had drowned. The body was recovered. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 22. — Emanuel Zwalley tried to save Harry Fisher from drowning yesterday in Conastoga lake, but was pulled down by Fisher and both perished. They wan each 14 years old. When Gillman reached the upper room Carl was hanging out of the window. Using the gun as a club, the old man struck him, but the blow was not heavy enough to stun him and he made- his escape to the woods. Frederlok Gillman, of Newark, a son of the old couple, organized a party of neighbors, who are still in search of the would be assassins The fact is, that if this world is ever brought to God, it will not be through argument, but through testimony. Tou might cover the whole earth with apologies for Christianity and learned treatises in defense of religion—you would not convert a soul. Lectures on the harmony between science and religion are beautiful mental discipline, bnt have never saved a soul, and never will save m soul. Put a man of the world and a man of the church against each other and the man of the world will in all probability get the triumph. There are a thousand things toeur religion that seem illogical to the .world, and always will seem illogical. Our weapon' In this conflict is faith, not logic; faith, not metaphysics; faith, not profundity; faith, not scholastio exploration. But then, in order to have faith we must have testimony, and if 600 men, or 1,000 men, or 500,000 men, or 5,000,000 men get up and tell me that they have felt the religion of Jesus Christ a joy, a comfort, a help, an inspiration, I am bound as a fair minded man to accept their testimony. I want just now to iDut before you three propositions, tho truth of which I think this audience will attest with overwhelming unanimity. The first proposition is: We' ahe witnesses that the religion of Christ is able to convert a soul. , The Gospel may have had a hard time to conquer us, we may have fought it back, but we were vanquished. Tou say conversion is only an imaginary thing. We know better. "We are witnesses." There never was so great a change in our heart and life on any other subjefct as on this. People laughed at the misEionarixtf in Madagascar because they preached ten years without one convert; but there are 83,000 converts in Madagascar today. People laughed at Dr. Judson, the Baptint missionary, because he kept on preaching in Burmah five years without a single convert; but there are 80,000 Baptists in Burma h today. People laughed at Dr. Morrison, in China, for preaching there seven years without a single conversion; but there are 16,OQ0 Christians in China today. People laughed at the missionaries for preaching at Tahiti for fifteen years without a single conversion, and at tho missionaries for preaching in Bengal seventeen years without a single conversion; yet in all those lands there are multitudes of Christians today. A physician was summoned and tbe wound was dressed. The young girl uttered no complaint, and expressed her gratitude that It was no worse. The father is completely overcome with grief, and continually reproaches himself for allowing his temper tt bring him so near to crime. The ministerialists are in a bad enough sita-ition at best, and naturally wish to avoid the additional humiliation of going before the Country burdened by the dlsgraoe of a chance defeat in a division of the house. A SLIDING SCALE OF WAGES, Ilyaa's Glenbrouk Ruined.

The delwte on tbe proclamation itself will, it Is thought, be very brief. A division may be reacheJ Friday, and there is no doubt tbat tbe government will on this occasion be sustained by nearly its usual majority, but the danger of a defeat through "dry rot" will come afterward, unless a speedy dissolution of parliament is arranged. Pittsburg, Aug. 21.—A sliding scale has been agreed upon between the colters and tbe Carnegie interests. An all day confer euce with Superintendent Lynoh and the joint committees of the Miners' Amalgamated and Knights of Labor organizations on Saturday resulted in the affixing of the signatures of tb« interested parties.

The Angry Socialists. Mr. lleuly's language at Hawick on Saturday night, to the effect that tbe league will be more dangerous now than before, is '.generally regretted by the friends of the liberal cause. Mr. Healy went distinctly beyond Mr. Parnell's sufficiently defiant ground, and besides b;lng imprudent, his remark was unnecessary, as everybody recognises now that coercion is sure to be a thing of short life, not worth gettiag revolutionary •bout Coke selling at $1.85 is taken as the minimum. For every advanoe of ten cents per ton tbe wages of all employers shall be advanced in equal proportion. Tbia scale is lower than the one offered by the operators at tbe conference in Seottdale on Aug. 11; but, aside from the rates of wages, the provisions aro almost identical. It is thought that the scale, as adopted at these works, will prove satisfactory throughout the region, and that farther trouble will be obviated. New York, Aug. 83.—A Socialist massmeeting was held . in the Cooper union last night to denounce the United Labor party. Vrooman, Oppenheim, Weinstein and Moran were the speakers. Henry George was donounoed by all except Moran, who tried to defend him, but was howled down. St. Loois, Aug. 23.—A ghastly dieoovery was made last evening in a room in the Laclede hotel.

He came here two months ago to manage the cyclorama, but owing to lack of business he was last week compelled to give np his place. He was last seen on Friday morning in the rotunda of tbe hotel. His room was forcibly entered last night, and his body was found on the bed with a knife wound over tne heart. He had been dead for two days.

Killed While Robbing a Poatofflce. The proposal of Russia to Turkey, to jointly occupy ea tern Bulgaria and Roumulia is not regarded here as meant to be taken seriously. It is believed to be a feeler thrown out (or the purpose of testing the oonsensus of opinion among the powers as to Prince Ferdinand's status. No action of the kiud suggested would be taken until all other moans of ousting Ferdinand had been exhausted. England would seriously object to tbe arrangement even then, and there it already a feeling of resentment noticeable among English commentators on the subject Later—It is rumored that at the request of a i. umber of Nationalists tbe government h-i- agreed to postpone a discussion in the house of commons, of the proclamation of the league until after next Thursday, the time appointed.
