Adelbert Hamilton, a local attorney, was chairman, and introduced J. P. Bushe, of New York, as first speaker. Mr. Bushe briefly outlined the fundamental principles of State Socialism. He declared that believers in Socialism were in no sense Anarchists or sympathizers with Anarchists, and thai the delegates present at the convention were not there to pass resolutions regretting the hanging of Spies, parsons and the rest. He declared th{it Socialists were loyal to the government arid believed in centralization of the executive and distribution of the legislative power.

This is the keynote of the whole situation. Gen. Schofield and Adjt. Gen. Kelton have given the matter considerable attention lately, and have received suggestions from a number of the leading officers in thejervice as to the proper remedy to be applied to correct this growing evil. A court of inquiry has been appointed on the subject, and will meet at Jefferson Barracks,"Mo., on Tuesday. Fears That She Can Never At Brooklyn— Brooklyn.

Gillan to Father Sullivan. Outbreak. New Yoitx, Sept. 31.—A special to The Times from Philadelphia says: Relatives in this city of Marie Kevins Blaine, the beautiful young wife of James G. Blaine, Jr., have received the startling intelligence that she cannot recover from her recently developed illness. Since her removal from the house of her friend, Mrs. Doremus, in New York, to the home of her parents at 238 West Fortysecond street, her condition has changed for the worse. The inflammatory rheumatism with which she was struck down five weeks ago, while attending a rohearsal at the Lyceum Theatre, has defied all the efforts of her able physicians. The letters of her par.ents to her relatives hero show that they have almost abandoned hopo. Brooklyn, Sept. 29.—After expounding the appropriate passages of Scripture In the Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., gave out the hymn: Judge Bookstaver the Only One to Kxcape the Grand Jury's Wrath. Chicago, Sept. 30.—The Tribune says it is at last able to throw new and positive light on the mystery of Millionaire Snell's murder. It has discovered that three men took part in the crime. One stood guard outside the house, two went in, cracked the safe in the basement, and together shot Mr. Snell. One of these two was James Gillan, a noted thief and ex-convict. It has ascertained that Oillan made a full confession of the crime to Father Sullivan, of the St. Jarlatte's church, the uight before his death, six months ago, at the county hospital. More important still, a statement made by Gillan the morning after the murder to an old and reputable lawyer, whoso services he wished to retain in the event of his arrest, has been obtained in the lawyer's writing. A mass of collateral details, though not needed to verify the fact of Gillan's guilt, which is established by the confession and statement, has been collected with a view to the detection of his accomplices. * Ottawa, Sept. 30.—British Columbia advices say that the United States cruiser Rush will soon call at Victoria on her way south, and it is feared trouble will arise between the crews of the seized sealing schooners and their friends and the crew of the Rush if the latter attempts to anchor in the harbor. The crews of the sealers, most of whom are now at Victoria, are in the wildest state of excitement over the loss of their summer's work and the confiscation of their skins. They say that if they cannot get redress through the British government they will tako it out of the United States cutter that "stole" their sealskins. Other Games, At Newark (first game)— New York, Sept. 30 —To-day was the day set for the final action of the Grand Jury in the Flack case, and the Recorder's court was crowded to its utmost capacity this morning at 9 o'clock, when the proceedings of the oay were begun. Various rumors as to the Graud Jury's action had been circulated Saturday and yesterday. One was to the effect that Flack alone was indicted. Another gave it as a certainty that everybody implicated in or in any way connected with the infamous divorce conrpi'acy had been given a liberal allowance of jury indication. There was, however, no truth in any of them, for until the foreman banded in the returns to Recorder Smythe this morning absolutely nothing was known as to what bad been done. Flack and all of his compeers are indicted. The only one to escape was Judge Walter Bookslaver, the official before whom the original decree ot divorce had been argued and by whom it bad been granted and subsequently annulled. This was no surprise, as thcra was at no time anything in his conduct to warrant an indictment. At most he was indiscreet and unwary. He was merely a victim and tool in the hands of the wily ex-Sachem of Tammony. The case will now, according to District Attorney Fellows, be pushod vigor"utly.Newark 1 000200 1 0— i Hartford 0 0 8 3 0 1 2 0 2—11 Batteries: Dooms and Trott, Smith and Derby.

Winnan, the next speaker, said the party could not countenance any sort of a combine with any other party, as such action would injure Socialism without helping the laboring man a particle. The board will oonsist of Lieut. Col. Henry W. Lawton, Inspector Gen. and Capt. Frederick H. E. Ebstein, Twenty-first in"antry. While this court is ordered exclusively to inquire into the causes of the large desertions at Jefferson barracks, it will also go into an investigation of the whole subject, with a view of arriving at tho best possible remedy for an evil which, if not corrected, will sooner or later cause much trouble in the service. Both Gen. Schofield and Gen. Kelton are thoroughly convinced that the time has arrived" for taking some decided steps in this direction. So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine To prove the doctrine oil divine. The subject of Dr. Talmage's sermon was: "The Shorn Locks of Samson." He took for his text Judges xvi, 5: "Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to affiict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver." The sermon was as foliows: Tommy Mongan, the local Socialist leader, followed with one of his characteristic speeches. He said that by reason of the private ownership of land and products monopolies were easily created. These pools were so strong that they defied even the law. Four men control the meat market, eight own the hard coal, and sixty families all the railroads. The standing of the pri associations to date is as folic The National Lei incipal baseball ows: igue. runs The militia is to be held ready to prevent any attack on the cutter. There are many men of tho rougher element of Victoria who would join the indignant sealers if the latter attack the rush. The Militia Heady. One thousand pounds, or about fire thousand dollars of our money, were thus offered for the capture of a giant. It would take a skillful photographist to picture Samson as he really was. The most facile words are not supple enough to describe him. He was a giant and a child; the conqueror and the defeated; able to snap a lion's jaw and yet captured by the sigh of a maiden. He was ruler and slave; a commingling of virtue and vice, the sublime and the ridiculous; sharp enough to make a good riddle, and yot weak enough to be caught in the most superficial stratagem; honest enough to settle his debt, and yet outrageously robbing somebody else to get the material to pay It; a miracle and a scoffing: a crowning glory and a burning shame. There he stands, looming up above other men, a mountain of flesh, his arms bunched with muscle that can lift the gate of a city, taking an attitude defiant of armed men and wild beasts. His hair had never been out and it rolled down in seven great plaits over his shoulders, adding to his fierceness and terror. The Philistines want to conquer him, and therefore they must And out where the secret of his strength lies. A REWARD OFFERED. In the regular session of the convention little was done. Chairman Bushe called for the report of Secretary Kosenburg, of New York. The reading of it occupied over twc horn's. Mr. Rosenberg denounced Sergius 8. Schevitch, editor of The Volks Zeitung, and Lucian Sanial, of the Progressive liaboi party, as boodlers, and produced papers and documents to support his assertions. She Suffers Great Torture. New York Boston . . MORE BOND FRAUDS. Mrs. Mary S. Neil, an aunt of Mrs. Blaine, whose home is at Forestdale, but who boards the greater part of the timo at the Aldine hotel in this city, has been in constant communication with Col. and Mrs. Nevins. She took more interest than anybody else in the accomplished young woman's aspirations for the stage. The latest intelligence as to Mrs. Blaine's condition has so thoroughly alarmed Mrs. Neil that she intends to hasten at onca to the bedside of her niece and remain there till the end. The severity of Mrs. Blaine's illness is indicated by the statement of her attendants that it is necessary to keep her under the constant influence of opiates, in order that she may not be thrown into fatal spasms by the excruciating torture of her malady.

Kansas City Three Mexican Female Gamblers Commit Suicide After Being Beaten at Cards. Morula, Mexico, Sept 30.—This phce has long been known as a resort of gamblers and shady characters The sponing element has by no means been limited to the male sex. Many women are known to be among the most adept gamblers of all. This morning a melancholy spectacle was witnessed at the gaining table of Juan Espredo. Three young ladies, belonging to respectable families, were playing. All were wealthy. The game ran high. In it were several sharpers, who kept winning from the girls until they had staked everything. Upon the last deal they lost. Thereupon the trio arose from the table, passod out and a few moments later three revolver shots were heard in the parlor of a neighboring inn. An investigation showed (hat the shots had been fired with suicidal intent by the young women, who were found stretched out dead on the floor. Upon the table was a note, signed by each of the three, in which the fact of their having lost everythiog at cards was assigned as the cause of their rash act. The affair has caused intense excitement in this usually sleepy and quiet little Mexican village. Glllan's Alleged Statement* "Just as I got the parlor door open flooked up and there stood the old man at the head of the stairs. He saw me and swore at nie. I lost no time in getting inside of the parlor, and was about to try to open the connecting doors when a shot was fired from the hall or stairway. This 'rattled' me a little, and, not daring to make a noise by forcing the doors, I went back to thrf door I had come in by from the hall. When Snell saw nie the second time at the parlor door he again began his loud talk, saying he had me in a hole and he would catch me and break every bone in my body. Just then my companion showed at the rear of the hall and head of the basement stairs. The old man had been trying to fire his revolver at me, but could not make it go off for some reason. He now turned to the man at the head of tho stairs. I thought to take advantage of this diversion and step past Snell through the hall, but could not. At this time he succeeded in again firing his revolver, and toward mo. It is estimated that 50,000 persons greeted the ex-queen.

This summer "Jocco" Walker and one Darry were carried over the Horseshoe falls when it was supposed they, too, were trying to reach the island; but these casualties did not prevent Anthony Walker, a well known river pilot, from attempting the trip. Taking an old scow, he rowed over to Grass Island, and amid much excitement made the trip successfully. Good luck more than good management landed him on the island. Still Fooling with the Falls.

The Philistines are secreted In the same building, and then Delilah goes to work and coaxes Samson to tell what is the secret of his strength. "Well," he says, "if you should take seven green withes, such as they fasten wild beasts with, and put them around me, I should be perfectly powerless." So she binds him with the seven green withes. Then she claps her hands and says, "They come—the Philistines I" and he walks out as though there wore no impediment. She coaxes him again and says, "Now tell me the secret of this great strength;" and he replies, "If you should take some ropes that have never been used, and tie me with them, I should be just like other men." She ties him with the ropes, claps her hands and shouts, "They come—the Philistines!" He walks out as easy as he did before—not a single obstruction. He Shot His Sweetheart. Newark Worcester Baltimore, Sept. 30.—John Frieze, aged 22 years, has been paying court for several months to Miss Georgie Stone, aged 19 years, who lives in the northern suburbs of Baltimore, and it was understood they were engaged. Frieze met Miss Stone walking on the Falls road with Robert Moore. The jealous Frieze upbraided the girl and told her if she did not cut Moore's acquaintance he would cut her'a She told him he could do so at once, whereupon Frieze drew a pistol and aimed three shots at Miss Stone. The first struck her in the eye, the second in the abdomen, the third missed the mark. Frieze then fled and has not yet been captured.

The future of Mrs. Blaine's little child is already being considered by her relatives. The boy is now with his mother at the home of his grandparents. Either they or Mrs. Neil will probably take charge of him if Mrs. Blaine does not recover. It is known that the Blaine family will have nothing to do with the child in any event. James G.

The Tribune says: "As to Tascott's part in the tragedy there are excellent reasons for believing that Gillau's St'I turnout exonerating llim from direct complicity may bo correct. It is known from Gillan's former associates that he had been in the habit of using Tascott, who was not under the suspicion of the police, as an agent between himself aud the purchasers of his stolen goods. It is the opinion of those who knew Gillan best, that, he being aware that Tascott had left the city about the time of the murder, put the papers from the Snpll safe in Tascott's stove, where they were found sixteen days later. There were Bpecial reasons why suspicions opce directed toward Tascott would take root, and they were not unknown to Gillan They related to the fact that Tascott was acquainted with the family."

The colonel's reply is to the effect that the family "are ready to accede to any plan which the nation may decide upon, provided that fhe expressed wish of Gen.

The deceased had twioe been an inmate of a lunatic asylum. Whr Ta#cott Fled from Chicago. Brutal Murder at Boston. Jn this connection it is said on the authority of Tascott's brother that Tascott, on hearing while in Madison, Wis., that he was charged with the murder, came to Chicago on funds supplied by the brother to declare his innocence and stand trial. He consulted a Lrt Salle street attorney. The attorney ihvestigated tho circumstantial evidence which hud been heralded as sufficient to convict him, and advised him to stand trial. Tascott learned, however, of the discovery of a lot pf stolen property in his closet which he had gecrOtiug for Gillan. Ho learned that this property, of fine guitars, mandolins and silverware, had been identified |Dy various west side residents whose houses Gillan had pillaged. He realized that if he escaped on the charge of murder ho would \)G convicted for receiving stolen goods, if not for robbe ry. He determined to leave Chicago again and did so.
