Another officer said that the Baltimore anchored off ship John Light until Friday, the weather being too rough for a test. Friday morning a preliminary trial was had, and Saturday she wont for her regular four hours official trial, under command of Capt Joseph Steel. She made for three hours an average of 20 2-10 knots an hour, in a pretty good sea. This is allowing for all errors in calculation, log lines, etc., and indicates, it is said, that she is the fastest vessel of any ship of her tonnage afloat, and the fastest man-of-war of any country. The run was straight ahead, no occasion arising for a stop. It is also stated that she will probably go more than 10,000 horse power. The contract called for only 0,000 horse power.

London, Sept. 10.—The workmen of London held a monster demonstration at Hyde park in the afternoon to celebrate the victory of the dock laborAs in finally securing from the dock direct »-s almost every concession which they contended during the heroic struggle of the past month. John Burns was, of course, the chief speaker, and when he arose to address the audience from one of the numerous stands which had been erected in different parts of the park ho was greeted with doafeniug cheers, and so great was the enthusiasm of those present that for fully five minutes Mr. Burns was compelled to stand, hat in hand, bowing to the right and to the loft of him in acknowledgment of the increasing ovation, but uuable to utter a syllable for the deafeuing shouts which rent the air. Niagara Falls, N. Y.. Sept. 16.—Walter G. Campljell, despite the predictions of all who knew anything about the whirlpool, has passed through and liv.vc to tell the story. During the morning he bought an old clinker boat, which was taken down the to a point some distance above the Maid of the Mist landing and hidden behind a rock. Early in the morning, fearing arrest, he went down the road to the landing and dressed in his suit of tights, heavily padded with cotton, over which was strapped a cork life preserver. In the boat was a cockerel spaniel encased in a lifopreserver, which accompanied him in his perilous trip. Louisville.... 1 0000010 0-2 Batteries: Tei ry and Clark, Ehret and Vaughan.

Do Witt Talmage, D. D., preached at the Tabernacle today to a vast congregation on "The City Streets." His text was: "Wisdom crieth without; sha utteroth her voice in the streets." Prov. i, 80. He said: Charles Freito, 85 years old, an engineer employed in Rupport's brewery, New York, was killed by being caught in the machinery in the icehouse. St. Joseph, Sept. 16.—One of the most memorable febturts of the burning of the immense Exposition building here last night was the rescue of Geo. Lafayette's carriage by a band of Arrapahoe Indiana. The catriasro hail been on exhibition ever lince the opening of the exposition and had attracted much attention. When the flames broke out in the section in which it was located, a cry at once -irose to save the valued relic of Revolutionary days. Nobody seemed to respond. Sudderlv a fquad of red-skins, commanded by thtir chii f, Arrow Face, who had been in attendance at the exercises, burst through the crowd, ma4e a dash through the writhing flames, grabbed the tongue of the coach and bore it like a flash to a place of safety. The action elicited cheer after cheer. The standing of the pri associations to date is as follC incipal baseball ows: The National 'HgUC, Six Firemen Beported Killed. During the hottest iDart of tho conflagration a wall fell and a thrill of horror passed through the crowd, as it was passed from mouth to mouth that six firemen had been caught by the wall as it fell and were buried in the debris. Edward F. Miller, 50 years old, a guest at the Manhattan hotel, New York, fell down a flight of stairs and was instantly killed. We are all ready to listen to the voices of nature—the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea, the voicos of the storm, the voices of the star. As in some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, so in the great cathedral of nature day responds to day, and night to night, and flower to flower, and star to star, in the great harmonies of the universe. The spring time is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God's love; and the winter is a prophet—white bearded—denouncing woe against our sins. Wo are all ready to listen to the voices of nature; but how few of Us learn anything from the voicos of the noisy and dusty street. You go to your merchandise, and your mechanism, and to your work, and you co;ne back again—and often with an indifferent heart you pass through the streets. Are tb »re no things for us to learn from these pavements over which we pass? Are there no tufts of truth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with the feet of toil, and pain, and pleasure, tho slow tread of old age, and tho quick stop of childhood!

Boston New York... Philadelphia Chicago — Nothing Could Stay the Flames. The building fronts on Main street, between Sixth and Seventh. The alarm struck at 11:10 o'clock, and in ten minutes flames were bursting from the windows on the third floor. Five minutes later part of the roof went in. The fire department was out in full force promptly, and ten minute* after the first alarm half a dozen streams were playing on the burning building, but it was soon clear that nothing could save it, and the hose were then turned upon the Louisville hotel, two doors away. That building was smoking, and it was a sharp half liour'a light to make its safety reasonably sure.

In an instant the boat shoved out from shore with several people in it. A landing was made at the Maid of the Mist landing, and all but Campbell stepped ashore. Precisely at 3:20 o'clock Campbell pulled away from the landing, heading obliquely for the Canadian shore. Standing up he drew in the oars, laying one in the boat and using the othor as a paddle to straighten the course of the boat, and passed under the Cantilever aud suspension bridge at 3:38, forming a picture never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it in breathless silence.

D When from sheer exhaustion the men desisted and a measure of quiet was restored, Burns delivered what was evidently a carefully prepared speech, showing more than ordinary thought and study. Ho declared that the strike now so happily concluded was only a preliminary skirmish with which was opened the great battle yet to come. A federation of labor would forthwith be organized throughout England, and when this work was once completed the war would be 'carried into Africa. The thanks of the whole civilized world, he said, were due to the generous contributors to the strikers relief fund, and the victory of the mon was in no small ineasuro due to their timely aid. Every penny of the fund, he said, would be Accounted for by the East End unions, under ivhosA direction it han been distributed.

Mr. Charles Merkol, cf New York, vice president of the Kraus-Merkel Malting company, is now in this city attending a meeting of the directors of that organization. Mr. Merkel's business brings him into intimate relations with the brewers. In an interview he said: ri.UDS. Their Portraits Will be Unveiled at the United States Military Academy.

The first pitch was passed over, the boat going out of sight for an instant, but when seen again Campbell was still hanging to the boat. Opposite the first elevator below the bridge is another pitch, when the dog was thrown out and could be seen swimming ahead of the boat, which was still right side up, but full of water, and Campbell still hanging on. Opposite Buttery's elevator the boat was thrown clear of the water and Campbell was out of it struggling in the rushing water. The Do| Atlantic Asi CLUBS. Losses and Insurance. LIFE IS FULL OF LABOR. The fire originated in Bamburger, Bloom & Co.'8 cellar, and Watchman McGrath, who turned in the alarm, saw the whole cellar was aglow when he discovered it. .in explosion occurred soon after, and a fireman just arrived was knocked- over by it, but not hurt. A conservative estimate of the loss on Stock is $750,000. The insurance is heavy and will about cover the logs. The building was a double six story, owned by the firm and valued at $75,000. In tho first place, the street impresses me with the (act that this life is a scene of toil aud struggle. By 10 o'clock every day the city is Jarring with wheal*. and shuffling with feet, and humming will- voices, and covered with the breath of smoWncks and a-rush with traffickers. Once in a while you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though he had nothing to do; but for the most part, as you find men going down these streets on the way to business, there is anxiety in their faces, as though thoy had some errand which must bo executed at the first possible moment. You are jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to sell. Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with a roll of bills, on this dray with a load of goods, digging a cellar, or shingling a root, or shoeing a horse, or building a wall, or monding a watch, or binding a book. Industry, with her thousand arms, and thousaud eyes, and thousand feet, goes on singing her song of work! work! work I while the mills drum it and the steam whistles fife it. All this is not because men love toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as lazy as he can afford to be." But it is because necessity, with stern brow and with uplifted whip, stands over them ready whenever they relax their toil to make their shoulders sting with the lash. Can it he that, passing up and down these streets on your way to work and business, you do not learn anything of the world's toil, and anxiety, aud struggle? Oh I how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried, how many losses suffered, how many battles fought, how many victorioe gained, how many defeats suffered, how many exasperations endured — what losses, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitudes went hither and yon, and It has seemod to be a groat pantomime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed and turned aside, and dashing ahead, and driven back—beautiful in its confusion, and confused in its beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest, in tho woods from which the eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam, sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is the best place to study God; but iu the rushing, swarming, raving street is the best place to study man. Qolng down to your place of business and coming home again, I oharge you look about—see these Signs of poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of bereavement—and as you go through the street*, and come back through the streets, gather up In the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all the suffering, all the bereavements of those whom you pass, and present them in prayer before an all sympathetic God. Then in the great day of eternity there will be thousands of persons with whom you iu this world never exchanged one word who will rise up and call you blessed; and there win be a thousand fingers pointed at you in heaven, saying; "That is tie man, that is the woman, who helped me when I was hungry, and sick, and wandering, and lost, and heart broken. That is the man, that Is the woman," and the blessing will come down upou you as Christ shall say: "I was hungry and ye fed me, I was naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and In prison anil ye visited rae; inasmuch as ye did it to these poor waifs of the street, ye did it to rae."

Crushed to Death, | Burns ttud his wife while walking on the Strand were recognized, and to escape the attentions which were at once showered upon them by the crowds which lined the street, they were compelled to seek refuge on the top of a well filled omnibus. In this way they escaped the immediate proximity of their crowds of admirers, but many followed the 'bus for several squares, sending up cheers for Burns and his plucky little wife.

Gen. Lew Wallace, who was president, was selected to make the presentation address, but that gentleman, on account of pressing engagements, was compelled to decline. Thereupon Mr. Childs selected Gen. Horace Porter, whose association with Gen. Grant and whose personal knowledge of Shernuvn and Sheridan make the selection very proper and fitting.

Billings and Washington Matthews, will on Tuesday morning, at the Army Medical Museum, examine Capt, Geo. A. Amies as to his sanity. Capt. Armes recently figured in a court martial at the war department for having pulled the nose of Gen. Beaver not long after the inauguration. Some weeks after this a letter was filed with the secretary of war by a certain person to the effect that Capt. Armes was not responsible for his actions. The letter was, of course, signed, but was of sufficient influence to have the writer's name kept a secret, and it will not be made public during the examination. The two physicians have been instructed to go thoroughly into the matter, and the private and public lii'a of Copt. Armes will be submitted to a n ost rigid investigation. Prominent army officers are of the opinion that the board will not make any finding, and the matter "will eventually go to the courts. W. C.

L, Sept. 10.—The United States cruiser Chicago, which has been here for a month waiting for the board and for favorable weather for her trials, had her first trial Saturday over the measured mile. Commodore Walker and other members of the board wore on board. She was tested first at forty-six revolutions and made a speed of eleven knots; then sixty revolutions, making fourteen knots. Then she blew out a stop oock in the engine room, and in conse-. quencc her fastest speed was not tested. The accident was repaired in a few hours. Her fastest speed will be seventy-five revolutions, and she is expected to make seventeen knots. The weather conditions were favorable. Capt Robertson and members of the board are satisfied with the rocord. The Chicago will make her final trials on Monday, and sail on Tuesday if possible. I.oss, One Quarter of a Million.

The flames started in the north barn and quickly spread to the other buildings. Nothing could be done to stop the progress of the Are, and the barns, which contained about 1,200 bushels of wheat, 800 bushels of oats, 300 bushels of barley and a quantity of hay and clover, were, with their contents, entirely consumed.

Sig. Crispi, though still suffering considerable pain, is able to attend to the affairs of Ills ollleo without interruption. Among those who have sent congratulations are Prince Bismarck, Lord Salisbury, Mr. Gladstone and Count Kalnoky. After throwing the first stone the assailant, Caporale, jumped partly into the carriage and struck Sig. Crispi on the chin with another stone, which was vary sharp and made a deep cut. He also cut a gosh in the jawbone and struck the prime minister on the ear, causing blood to flow. A priest who was near by ran up and seized Caporale and prevonted his escape.The Russian Zlear's Ambition Threatens the Peace of Europe. Iloth Parties Confident in Montana. Baltimore, Sept. 10.— Fred Raine, lately consul general at Berlin, has just arrived, from Europe. In speaking of affairs in Europe Mr. Raine said that he does not think a war imminent, but believes tha t the smallest spark may at auy moment cause a disastrous conflagration. The Conservatives of France and Germany do not desire war, lie says, but Russia's ambition ai\4 pan--elavistlc agitation may lead to It at any moment. Mr. Ralne entertains the opinion that France and Germany should be friends Instead of enemies, as he considers Russia and the semi-barbarian elements under the sceptre oi the czar the dangerous antagonist of both. With the Russians war means the ascendancy of autocratic ideas, the death knell of republicanism and constitutional government. The thinking men of France are not blind to the objects of Russia, and show but little inclination to encourage the cry of reyenge against Germany, rather believing that sooner or later something may turn up to establish an entente cordiale between Qermauy and Helena, Mont., Sept. 16.—There was a largely increased registration to-day. Both parties are confident of victory. The chances apparently favor the Democrats. Lynchbuiw, Va., Sept. 1(1,—A Mormon emigrant train on the Norfolk and Western railroad wild wrecked about four mileB below this city. The wreck was caused by a small bridge giving way after the engine and baggage car had passed over it.

A large number of men were in the woods hunting for moose, when one party consisting of two men, named Taylor am} Apnand, saw at a distance what they took to be a moose. One of them fired and immediately a fearful shriek was heard. On hurrying to the spot they found that the single shot had killed two anon, whom they had mistaken for a moose. The victims were two young men, named Mitchell and Webber. The shot struck one of them in the breast, passed through and struck the other in a vital part of the neck. Both were dead when found.

A real estate mortgage for $8,315 and two chattel mortgages for $4,000 were filed by the First National bank of Creston, which is also assignee. Liabilities and assets are yet unknown. The large stock dealers in this locality are complaining of close times, and say the beef combines are threatening them all with ruin by suppressing competion and fixing their own prices for beef cattle. He Will Meyer Do It Again. "Tell the people," said Campbell, "that I have accomplished the greatest feat on record. I did not lose my head only for an instant, and that was just as I entered the whirlpool. I remember distinctly when I left the boat." When asked if he would repeat the trip Campbell replied: "No, sir. You could give me New York state and then pile all the others on tr.p and I would not go again. I am going home now." Patrick Henry uttered a sublime truth when ho said, '.'It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut cur eyes against a painful truth and listen to that song of that siren till she transforms us into beas's." We are apt to shut our eyes while colds, catarrh or consumption are getting the better oi up, hoping not, when our plain duty is to get some remedy like the Golden Medical Discovery of Dr. Pierce, and take it. We should not listen to the song of the siren, but rather heed Longfellow, who tells us to "Act, act in the living present." That means before it is too late. The "Discovery" is one of the great successes of tbe age—a safe, pleasant remedy to take, and can be had of all druggists. It is guaranteed to benefit of cure, or money paid for it will be refunded. Royalty Will Hear tlie Phonograph, i, Berlin, Sept. 16.—Mr. Ellison has gone to Heidelberg for a brief- stay. He will return here before the close of the week to exhibit his phonograph to Emperor William, Prince Bismarck and Count von Moltke. Pnnxsutawney's Strike Successful. A School Teacher's I)UaiDpf^«iic«. To Silife at tlie W orld's Fair. Brockwaville, Pa., Sopt 16.—The strike in the Punxsutawney section has been settled. The men get everything they ask for. This will no doubt have the effect of settling the strike on the Erie road, as Superintendent Robertson said last week that if the raise were granted elsewhere the Northwest company would not be behind anybody in giving the advance. This will have the almost certain effect of influencing Reynoldsville and the other sections to follow during the week. The early victory is a surprise to everybody. Bi.jOklyn, Sept. 16.—Miss Virginia Wagner, aged !i4, a school toacher, has been missing since July 3, when she left her hoarding house and was supposed by her acquaintances to have gone home in Paterson, N. J., to spend the school vacation. This supposition caused delay in making her disappearance known, and her parents later made inquiries privately and refrained from notifying the police on account of a desire to avoid publicity. Detectives are now, however, at work on the case. Miss Wagner was tall and handsome, and a fine musician. Her father is agent of the United States Express company at Paterson. The young lady was devoted to study and had few male acquaintances. There is no clew to the reason for her disappearance, nor to her present whereabouts.

Doty, dealer in rubber goods at No. 08 Park row, who is now in Chicago at the Tremont bouse.

Miss Itlaine's Rumored Engagement. Augusta, Me., Sept. 10.—There is every reason to believe that the rumor of Miss Margaret Blaine's betrothal to the famous musical composer, Mr. Walter J. Damrosch, of New York, is genuine, and that after the marriage of Emmons Blaine with Miss Mc- Cormiek, and when the Blaines have returned to Washington, tho engagement will be formally announced.

She received him in her room, and immediately two pistol shots resounded through the house. Both were found with bullet holes through their heads. The girl died immediately. YVallace is still alive, but cannot recover. A lovo affair is supposed to be at the bottom of the tragedy. Again, the street Imprests me with the (act that all classes and conditions of society must commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusivene63. Intellect despises ignorance. Refinement will have nothing to do with boorish nets. Gloves hate the sunburned hand, and the high forehead despises the flat head; and the trim hedgerow will have nothing to do with the copsewood, and Athens bates Nazareth. This ought not to be so. The astronomer must come down from his starry revelry and help us In our navigation. The surgeon must come away from his study of the human organism and set our broken bones. The chemist must come away from his laboratory, where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes of people are compelled to meet on the street. Tiie glittering coach wheel clashes against the scavenger's cart. Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meets wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of people meets every other class. Independence and modesty, pride and humility, purity and beastliness, frankness and hypocrisy, meeting on the same block, in the same street, in the same city. Oh 1 that Is what Solomon meant when he saidt "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all." I like this democratic principle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on one nnd the same platform.
