New York, Nor. 18.—The wives of Robert Hilliurd, the actor, and Henry E. Dixoy wore greatly annoyed one evening recently by the undue attentions of "mashers" who occupied a box opposite to them iu tho theatre. As the offenders were guests of Fred Gebhard, Mr. Hilliard sent n letter to tho latter instructing liim to demand an apology from his friends. Mr. Gebhard, in reply, denied that there was any cause for apology, and intimated in private that the wholo affair was an advertising dodge. Mr. Hilliard thereupon sent a note to Mr. Gebhard informing him that he must havo satisfaction for the insults which he believes were offered to his wifo and Mrs. Dixey, Edward Aronson, of the Casino, agreeing to act as Mr. Hilliard'3 friend in the matter. fraln from Bloodshed. INDICTED BY THE GRAND JURY OF Butler, Pa., Nov. 18.—For several years a very choice article of beer and ale has been sold in various places in the coal regions of this county which revenue officers were satisfled was being brewed without warrant from the government. All efforts to discover the illicit brewery were in vain. Last week Deputy Collector Thompson, of Westmoreland county, received an intimation tbat brought him to Butler. Representing himself as the agent of a company desiring to purchase coal lands, he formed the the acquaintance of Superintendent File, who has charge of some mines in One of the back districts. The superintendent showed him over the property and then took him into one of the mines. There, far in under the ground and running by the light of many lamps, the pretended agent was taken to as complete a steam brewery as be had ever seen. It was fitted up with all the latest improvements. The superintendent informed his guest that the subterranean beer and ale brewery had been in operation for five years, and that the government officials had looked for it in vain. The next day the revenue officers confiscated the mine brewery and arrested the superintendent. The claim of the government was satisfied by the payment of $3,000. The brewery was releasad and is now again in operation. But the beer will pay the tax hereafter. An amusing adventure is related us having happened to tho Bank of England, which hod committed tho unpardonable sin of refusing to discount a large bill drawn by Anselm Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan Rothschild, of London. Tho bank had haughtily replied that they discounted only their own bills, not tlioso of privato persons; but they had to do with one stronger than the bank. ON A BLAZING STEAMER IN A TER- London, Nov. 18.—It is the determination of the government to have no disturbance of the peace In London that any force of numbers and of arms can check. Ireland may still continue, with her various expedients for contrivance, to defy the officers of the coercion law, and still hold league meetings, but certainly under tho very shadow of lawmaking Westminster, and in govermental London itself, it i3 preposterous that any disturbance should occur. So reason tho authorities, and with this idea in mind vast numbers of special police are being sworn in for service on Sunday next. Among their ranks are two peers of the realm, one member of parliament and numbers of brokers, merchants and workingmen. To-day and Saturday will see large additions to the force already pressed into service. This new action on the part of the authorties amounts to an appeal to tho people to strengthen the hands of the government, and to rise up and protect their homes and property; and undoubtedly Sir Charles Warren will find a satisfactory answor to his appeal in tho numbers of citizens who stand ready to lend their services. It is suspected, however, that the special constables will prove a white elephant on the inspectors' hands on Sunday, when, if there is any real work to do, which there probably will not be, these devotees to patriotism will simply be in tho way. They may, indeed, incite the very disturbance which their services are enlisted to subdue. NEW YORK RIFIC GALE, Ohllla i.nd Fever. Malaria.

"Privato persons I" exclaimed Nathan when Marquette, Mich., Nov. 18.—The heaviest marine loss of tlie year occurred yesterday when the Anchor line steamer Arizonu, with a valuable cargo of merchandise) and fixed freight, was totally destroyed by fire at this port. This was to be her last trip of the season. She left here at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, bound up. The night was starry and pleasant, and no fears were entertained for her safety. A stiff northwester sprung up after midnight, and the Arizona found it impossible to proceed. The Nyack, of tho same line, which went out shortly ahead of the Arizona, turned back when thirty miles out. The .

Yates, Upper Lisle, BrcomoCo., N.Y. r^T65) jW Leonard Jerome and De Courcy Forbes, representing Mr. Gebhard and friends, met Messrs. Hilllard, Aronson and Blakely Hall late yesterday afternoon, and stated that at Mr. Gebbard's request they had come to explain the affair at the theatre. They said Mr. Gebhard and friends were not ogling the ladies in the adjoining box, but were looking at and speaking of a party of friends who Bat in the parquette, but whom they oouid not see except by looking through the box. There had been an unfortunate misapprehension on the part of the ladies. After a long conversation Mr. Hilliard accepted the explanation as satisfactory. The indictment against Most is based on section 4o1 of the penal code, affecting unlawful assemblies and incitement to riot and ai.d kill. The evidence against him consists of not :s of his Saturday night speech, taken liy Policeman Roth and Sechs. The prisoner defies Ihe correctness of the reports. The penalty for the offense charged is ono year's imprisonment or $250 fine, or both. tc. ih—a hundredth—ho never put the pieces of fcoid into tho bag without scrupulously examining them, and in some instances trying them in tho balance, as the law gavo him the right to do. Everything went well until she was within three miles of this port, when a heavy sea struck her, upsetting several carboys containing mixed acids, which ignited. The flames communicated with the ninety barrels of oil on boarU, and a fierce flame shot up like lightning. To add to the horrors of the situation, the fumss of the escaping acid filled the air and a sense of deathlike suffocation at once seiaed the poor sailors, who found every avenue of escape shut off. So terrible was the effect of the accident that the crew was forced to seek refuge in and around the pilot-house, where, by hanging with their heads out on the windward side, they were able with much difficulty to breathe. The day after the Chicago Anarchists were hanged Superintendent Murray ordered all the police captains to look out for unlawful meetings and to send competent officer* to report inflammatory speeches. Moreover, Inspector Byrnes set on foot secret means of getting information about the movements of Most and his followers. Saturday night the editor of Freiheit addressed his 4'fellow slaves" in Kraemer's hall, No. 134 Seventh street. The following is an exact report of his remarks, and on which the indictment is founded: Sleepless nights, made miserable by that terrible cough. Shiloh's Cure is tho remedy for you. Sold oy J. E.

Everything which bears the stamp of eccentricity has alwayB pleased the English. They were, therefore, tho first day very much amused at the little pique of Baron Rothschild. They laughed loss when they saw him return tho next day, at the opening of the bank, flanked by his nine clerks, and followed this time by drays to carry away tho specie.

He wore a medal for the Kaffir war and the Crimean clasp and the Turkish war medal for more recent services. A Fatal Result Feared. For lame hack, chest or side, uce Shiloli'a Porous Plaster.

GRANGERS IN CONVENTION PAIR'- CARNIVAL A Resolution Introduced Asking for Rep- resentation In the Cabinet. Lansino, Mich., Nov. 18.—The National Grange went into session here Wednesday evening. Worthy Master Darden reported that 147 new granges have been established in the past year. The State Grange of Nebraska has been re-established and work begun in Rhode Island, completing the circle of the states. Yesterday afternoon a reception was held in Representative hall, at which 2,000 delegates were present Governor Luce delivered the address of welcome, and was followed by Master Darden, Hon. D. M. Barnes, Ex-Governor Robee and others. Yesterday closed sessions were held, at which the reports of masters of the state granges were heard. Most of them made a good showing. The report of the secretary shows that 140 original charters, 47 duplicate charters, 49 deputies' certificates, and dispensations of 143 new granges were issued during the year. The total receipts wero $3,587. The treasurer reported a balance on hand of $8,054.

Cashiered, and for a time imprisoned, he reeolved to retrieve his reputation by gallant conduct, entered the Turkish service, became a favorite of the sultan and served with distinction in the Ottoman army. Just when it seemed that the end must be at hand the vessel struck the pier with a crash, and the men jumped fur their lives and ran or crawled away from the death dealing fumes of the burning acid. All escaped. Then the vessel swung off and ran along the pier, narrowly escaping tbo immense lumber piles on the dock, and went ashore near the city water works, where she burned to the water's edge. The Arizona was a vessel of SOU tons, and was valued at 190,000. The total loss is estimated at (150,- 000.

Nov. 18.—Robert Bonner's retirement from The New York Ledger will be followed by somj changes in that famous old story paper. Sir. Bonner's three sons, Andrew, Robert and Frederick, will take full control of the paper. Fcr the last ten years Mr. Bonner had not taken a very active interest in The Ledger.

With the succession to the management of the paper of Mr. Bonner's Bons this state of affairs, they declare, will be changed. The Ledger has had good stories all along but the new managers have come to the inclusion that worth without advertising \ ill not insure the highest degree of success. Baker Pacha entered the Turkish service shortly before the outbreak of the Russo- Turklsh war, in order to organize an Ottoman gendarmerie, and on the outbreak of hostilities left the capital temporarily with Abd-ul-Kerim for Rustchuk as a member of his staff. He returned to Constantinople, however, and was not definitely appointed to any actual command until August, 18T7, when, after the Russians had crossed the Danube, the Bultan superseded Abd-ul-Kerim by Mehemet Ali, who summoned Baker Pacha to Shumla, together with various other English officers, and gave him an important command upon the Lom. Baker Pacha speedily became extremely popular with his men, who declared that the "English Pacha" told them to "follow," and not to "go on" like so many of his Turkish col leagues. HUGH J. JEWETT.

A number of cars, side tracked near the compress, were burned before they could be removed. The lots will fall entirely on the insurance companies, as all the property destroyed was fully covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to be of incendiary origin. The scene presented by the burning compresses, which extend along the river front for fully half a mile, was grand and awe inspiring. Fully 80,000 people were on the bluffs witnessing the spectacle. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000.  Authors Carnival EVERY EVENING. Mr. O'Brien Failing. Dublin, Nov. 18.—Visitors to Tullamore jail declare that Mr. O'Brien is greatly changed.

"The business has reached such a magnitudo that it requires all my time. Candidly, if I were out of it I would choose somo other calling. There isn't the money in it that people imagine. Yet it is a perfectly honorable business, and in the whole range of my experience there is nothing I have to bo ashamed of. I buy up tax titles at every sale, and depend for my profits upon the settlements made with parties directly interested. Frequently I let people of moderate means down without any expense to speak of, and I must say that the men of the most moans are the toughest customers I have to deal with. On certain property owned by one of the wealthiest firms in the city, X hold a tax title of twentytwo years' standing. They know it's a cloud on their land, but X can get nothing out of them. They simply Kay that the matter isn't worrying them so long as they don't want to sell, and then they stop. Most dealers prefer titlos on land outside the city. Give me city titles. Settlements aro prompter, come easier and pay better. "There's ono thing tho average business man does not understand. This is tho uncertainty attaching to what evon oxperts may pronounce a perfoct title.

His chief exploits, however, were later on in the war. After Christmas, when the Russians, having captured Plevna and crossed the Bulkans, were in full march upon Constantinople, Baker Pacha and his division skilfully and bravely protected the rear of Chakir Pacha's retreating army. On Dec. SI, aided by Col.
