OF THE EDICT PROCLAIMING NEXT Nominee* for State Offices. DN THE CONTROVERSY WITH OUH and on the Turf. New York, Sept. a—The United States Express company entered upon oontrol of the express business of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad yesterday. No changes In the methods or official management aside from this were made. The announcement of the sale gave rise to many rumors about the telegraph and railroad properties. It was believed to be the beginning of the end, and rumors that the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph lines had already passed into the hands of the Western Union and the railroad property Into those of the Pennsylvania railroad were numerous and confident. Mr. Qould and other officers of the Western Union Telegraph company declared that these were no negotiations going op with the opposition oompanies, and President Piatt, of the United States Bxpreai company, said that the purchase of the express property and franchiss was entirely independent of other possible negotiations. One story printed yesterday was that the three principal express companies would be united in the shape of an express company trust! President Piatt, of the United States company, said: "This suggestion is piffe 'rot' Nothing of the kind is contemplated. Our purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio express was made on our own responsibility and for our own benefit The statement that Mr. Qould Instigated the trade is equally false. Mr. Gould has no interest in this company." SUNDAY'S MEETING. Pes Mojnbs, la., Sept, 4—The Democratic stato convention was called to order at 10:30 o'clock yesterday In the Grand Opera home. Senator Dodge was introduced as temporary chairman, and in his speech gave the administration of President Cleveland a most cordial Indorsement. Cato Sells, of Black Hawk, was tbe choice for permanent chairman. He made several complimentary allusions to President Cleveland, which were cheered to the echo. After the adoption of the platform nominations followed, and were quickly disposed of. The following is the ticket: For governor, Maj. T. J. Anderson; lieutenant governor, J. M.

El Paso, Tex., Sept. 8.—'Tuesday afternoon United States Consul Brigham and the United States agent of tfce Masceioris Apaches went to the court room of Judge Zubia, magistrate at Paso del Norte, to transact some business regarding the recovery of seme horses stolen from the Indiana They waited until 5 o'clock, and then went to the residence of the judge to see why he did not oome according to agreement He told them his Interpreter was not present, and he had more important business on hand, and the consul and Cowart walked away. The felt insulted, and Brigham said he would inform his government. Zubia ran several steps down the walk, and coming up behind Brigham struck him a heavy blow over the head. Tbe latter started to use his cane and Zubia ran into the house and locked the door. Consul Brigham has telegraphed the affair to Washington, corroborated by Agent Cowart. London, Sept. 2.—A great howl has been raised over the Dublin executive's proclam D- tion of the propoeed meeting at Ballycoree, County Clare, next Sunday, and tbe indignation felt at the government's action is by no means confined to Irishmen. Mr. Dillon, in the bouse of commons last bright, scathingly denounoed the spirit in which the proclamation was promulgated, and defiantly challenged the government to find any justification whatsoever for the act. The meeting, he said, was called solely for tbe purpose of expressing the thanks of the people to Mr. Gladstone and his adherents for their earnest efforts in the cause of securing Irish rights. If the people of Ireland, he said, were not to be allowed even to publicly express gratitude for the sympathy of those who appreciated their miserable condition, nothing more was needed to show that they were persecuted and oppressed beyond endurance. However, he declared, the meeting would be held, in spite of the proclamation, and its promoters, abettors and sympathizers would challenge the government to impeach its lawfulness. Mr. Dillon will be present at the meeting and will be accompanied on his journey to Ballyooree by Mr. Labouohere and other English members of parliament, who will also attend tbo meeting in order to give their testimony to the injustioe of the attempts to suppress it. A large number of English Liberal and Radical members of the house of commons have given their promise to visit and speak in Ireland during the recess, and their protests against the tactics of the Tory government will, it is expected, produce a profound impression upon the mind of the English electors. Although the meeting at Ballycoree has been formally proclaimed, it is not believed that It will be interfered with, but it will quite likely be followed by the issuance of summonses for the leaders and principal speakers, and many persons are curious to know whether any of the English visitors will be included among those ordered to appear before the resident magistrates. Washington, Sept 8.—At the state department a secret is no longer made of the ."act that tbe United States and GrVat Britain have agreed to try und settle tbe Conad'in fisheries question by arbitration, and representatives of the two countries yiU meet in this city at an early day, Secretary Bayard -•ays as soon as the weather becomes cool and pl.asant The secretary takes a very hopeful view of the situation, and in discussing the subject with a correspondent said that the point has been reached when it will soon be known \yhat terms the two countries have to propose, and in the event of a failure to agree the responsibility will be fixed where it properly belongs. He says there has been a dispute between the two countries ever sincft the foundation of our government, and even before that, growing out of the establishment of the boundary line between the United States and Canada. It is true no blood has been shed, but the feelings of the people on both sides Of the disputed line have at times run high, and only the most prudent and cautions handling of the question has prevented bloodshed. He says the United States is anxious that some definite conclusion should be reached in this matter, and Great Britain also seems inclined the same way, as neither of the countries interested cares to disturb tbe friendly relations now existing between them.

Fall Season lHH 7 Judge Zubia, in affInterview regarding his assault upon Consul Brigham, said: "Brigham and Cowart had waited at the court room from 2 to 5 p. m. I did not keep my engagement with them because I had been detained at home by a sick wife. My interpreter says the consul used language when speaking to me that Mexicans would call insulting; and that he did not interpret more than half of it to me. Thereupon I ordered Cowart and Consul Brigham from my residence. On the street the consul continued to use violent language, and I, without any weapon, ran down to him and struck him on the head with my hand." HORRIBLE BRUTALITIES Among the stories which ornamented the Street's version of the Baltimore and Ohio express transaction was one to the effect that officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company were in conferenoe with the officers of the Western Union Telegraph oompany in the big building at Broadway and Dey street Dr. Norvin Green said that none of the gentlemen had been in consultation with liim. Jay Gould was seen subsequently by a reporter with regard to the subject Inflicted on Georgia Convlets—Dropped Niagara Falls, Sept 3.—The fall meeting of the Niagara Falls Racing association began yesterday under somewhat adverse circumstances, as the weather was cloudy and threatening all morning.

OUR STORY IS ABOUT HATS, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 8.—Governor Gordon has received information from Dodge county of a case of brutality to the convicts in Degrees camp, which has been unearthed by the Dodge county grand jury. At that camp, where fifty convicts are worked, the superintendent's name is Bryant One of t'.ie convicts was made to work by the fire. He complained of being sick, but with the lash Bryant compelled him to keep at work, until at last the convict fell dead at his feet. The grand jury has indicted Bryant for murder, but he heard of it, and escaped into Alabama. Tbe other convicts Were equally badly treated. Dead Undar the Lash. Oar stock is here, and is the most complete ever shown in Pitts ton. ranging from a boy's 10c. polo cad to a #3.50 derby dress hat. Derbies—In this line we excel. It is our particular specialty.

(It is onr business), and never offer an oft style hat for a correct one, sizes 6 5-8 to 7 5-8. Prices 11.50 to 13.50. There hare been volumes of .correspondence on the subject between the two governments, but it is concodal that three representatives ol England—perhaps Mr. Chamberlain, 8ir Lionel West and Sir John Macdonald—and a like number from the United States, after a faithful and friendly discussion of the subject at Washington, will be able to reach a fair and a permanent settlement of this long disputed question. Mr. Bayard says he has not decided as to whom he will select to represent the United States on the proposed commission. He says he has a number of men in his mind, all of whom are capable of dealing with this subject intelligently and impartially, and at the same time carefully guard the interests of the United States. Great Britain will probably bs willing to make such concessions as her representatives deem best for her, and the representatives of this country will certainly meet them half way. Washington, Sept. 1— A telegram taa received yesterday by Indian Commissioner Atkins from Indian Agent Co wart at El Paso, Tex., under date of Aug. 81. Mr. Cowart states that be arrived there several days ago to recover some horse* stolen from Indians of the Meecalero reservation. "The horses," he says, "are held in Paso del Norte, Mex., in custody of the Judge of letters, a Mr. Zubia. After postponing the case upon one pretext or another for several days, he promised to give me a hearing. At the appointed hour, with United States Consul Brigham, I appeared at the court room with my witnesses, but Judge Zubia did not come or send any explanation of bis absence. We then went to his residence to ascertain when we might expect action. Nothing qgcurred that oould be construed as offensive, but as we were leaving and were on the street Judge Zubia followed us and struck Consul Brigham from behind. The conduct of Judge Zubia has been disrespectful throughout the case. 1 corroborate Consul Brigham's statement of the matter sent to thv state department" "There Is no truth la the reports," Mr. Oould said. "I have not seen any of the Baltimore and Ohio people, and the telegraph situation is unchanged. I have no connection whatever with the transfer of the Baltimore and Ohio express to the United States company, and know no more about it than what I have seen In the newspapers. I do not own any interest in the United States Express company and have had nothing to do with the reported transaction. I have enough to do to look after the properties in which I am direotly interested." Another case was that of a negro who escaped f«om the camp. The managers supposed that be would make his escape by the railroad, and sent a guard to intercept him. The guard went to a cut below the station where there had been an old mill. After some time they heard the clanking of chains and knew that the negro was coming. The negro came in sight and was shot dead. The guard said be halted the negro and be ran. This statement was controverted by the fact that every shot was fired into the negro's breast in front. The governor, aided by Attorney General Anderson, is investigating the matter. Hartford, Conn., Sept 0.—About 7,000 people attended the third day's races of the Grand Circuit meeting at Charter Oak park. The weather was fine, and the racing unusually good. First race, 2:37 class, purse $1,000; Jessie first, Jesse second, Greylight third; best time, 3:33. Second raoe, 8:33 class, purse $1,000; Ben Star first, AJroy second, W. K. third; best time, 3:13%. Third race, free for all, purse $1,500; J. Q. first; Kitefoot second, Spofford third; best time, 2:18. Tne dispute betwoeu England and Belglum over the fisheries question is assuming a serious phase. The government is now inclined to resent the treatment to which English fishermen have been subjected by the Belgians, and will insist upon their receiving fair play. Preliminary to any official measures of a more drastic character to secure what are held to be the rights of the E igiish fishermen In the waters of the north sea alleged to be controlled by Belgium, Sir El ward Birkbeck, member of .parliament for East Norfolk, will undertake, unofficially, to obtain redress for the British fishermen by resorting to methods of arbitration, and has soma hopes of success. Should he fall, however, tile matter will be adjusted, to the satisfaction of England, at least, through the persuasive power of English meu-of-war. The reduction of rates by the Maokay- Bennett Cable company creates quite a flut»ter in telegraphic circles, and predictions hat the cut will result in an enormous increase of the business of the Commercial company are freely made. At the reduced rate, however, the company doing the most busines is the heaviest financial loser, and knowing ones assert that the cable war will soon be terminated by an increase of the rates. Crush Opera Hats. Philadelphia, Sept. 2.—A prominent Pennsylvania man denies tfce truth of the report that the Pennsylvania railroad "is about topurchase the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. He says no overtures looking to a purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio have been mode by the Pennsylvania road. We offer correot opera shapes (entirely new)fi nished in the rough, durable, fashionable, cheap, #1.25. Other styles 50o. to #1.00 Colors, blue black and new brown. The unsettled state of affairs during the past two years has doubtless interfered with Canadian as well as United States interests, and the sooner an honorable settlement is reached the better it will be for all concerned. Some persons have advocated more aggressive measures on the part of the United States, but Mr. Bfcyard says he feels that there is nA necessity for resorting to bloodshed or becoming involved in an international confliot, when there is a strong probability that better sesnits can be obtained by arbitration. Chicago, Sept 8.—Yesterday's events: First rare, Ave furlongs; Barney Lee first, Long John second, Cuban Queen third; time, 1:03.

Pittsburg, Sept 4—Yesterday afternoon Thomas Joyce, a teamster, while under the influence of liquor, quarrelod with his wife at their home, on Old avenue, about the sale of a team of horses. Joyoe has been on a protracted spree and was very abusive to his family, and has a very bad reoord. Mrs. Joyce kept a small grocery store, and by this means supported herself and seven chiidren. Joyce was leaving the store when he pulled a 38-calibre revolver and fired twice at bis wife, who had followed him to the door. The second shot took effect in the back of her head, the ball penetrating the brain, causing a fatal wound. The oldest daughter, Mamie, came to ber mother's assistance and received a shot in her left hip and another in the right leg. Lizzie, a mere child, rushed at her father, snatched the smoking pistol from his grasp and pushed him down the stairs. Joyoe made and effort to escaps, and savagely fought the officers when arrested on Fourth avenue. Mrs. Joyoe Is reported dying and the daughter, Mamie, aged 18, seriously, perhaps fatally, injured. Finer Class of Soft Hats. Tvj matter Ik regarded at the department as one personal to those concerned, and no international complications are expected to result. The telegram has been placed upon the files so that it may be held in readiness as an answer in case any complaint is mads against the consul by the Mexican governmentIn men's full shapes,$1,50 to $3.00. Young Gents' Nobby Dress Hats, elegantly lined, $1.50 to $2.50. The commission will probably hold its consultations at the state department, and as soon as the British government notifies the state department as to who.its representatives are to be, the names of the American members of the commission will be announced. It is said that one of the United States representatives on the commission will probably be a well known Massachusetts lawyer, who has given this subject much study, while his colleagues may cothe from New York and Washington respectively. Ifsw York, Sept a—About 8,000 people of both sexes attended the thirty-first annual piefcic and games of the Caledonian society yesterday. A dozen of the Thistle's crew were present.
