Robinson & Co. has caused much surprise to the people in this city. The failure is attributed to their losses in the Baltic mill in Connecticut and to recent failures in Providence. Their headquarters are in Boston, with branches in this city and New York. The New Bedford member of the firm, Will iam A. Robinson, declined to state the amount of liabilities, and said that he was unable to make any estimate of the percentage the firm will be able to pay. It was impossible for him to say what the Connecticut cotton mill and the oil refinery will sell for. The creditors are not numerous, being eight in this city, two in Providence and some in New York and Chicago. Some of the firm's paper is held by the Mechanics' National bank and the National Bank of Commerce of thii city, but no other home banks are involved.American Congress Was to Haft Be«n She Could Have Done at Alexandria*.

The sidewalks by 7 p. m. in the vicinity of the mansion were thronged with Sir Knights and lady companions, and long lines of people two and four abreast extended for squares in - different directions, waiting for the reception to begin. At 8:30 the doors of the White House were opened and the people began to enter. The mansion was handsomely decorated for the occasion, potted plants, tropical flowers and beds of roses being everywhere in profusion. The spacious East room was brilliantly illuminated and perhaps, never before, with the gorgeous uniforms of the Sir Knights and the handsome costumes of their ladies, has presented a more animated appearauce. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 10.—Fir® which started in the lower hydraulic cotton compress yard destroyed that compress and the Tyler compress and five warehouses, with 4,900 bales of cotton. The British steamships Napier, Cypress and Carlton were in great danger, but were towed safely from the wharves. The Carlton was somewhat blistered. The wharves took fire, but were saved.

Fiske were present to witness the test and report the result to the navy department. It was required by the remaining provisions of the contract that five shells, each having the capacity to contain 200 pounds of explosive gelatine, should be fired from each gun in ten minutes with a force sufficient to attain a range of 01* mile. Berlin, Oct. 10.—An imprecedentedly virulent and malignant epidemic of small pox baa broken out id Prussian Silesia.

Love, Ph.D.'' Da*tarCfty Attempt Upon Father Kelly's Received in tlio Red Itoom Oneida, N. Y., Oct. 10.—Rev. Father James Kelly, of this place, is seriously ill, and the circumstances connected with his illness point to a crime of murderous intent. He celebrated mass in the rink and partook of about two teaspoonfuls of the wine, when he was at once seized with great pain and a burning sensation at the stomach, which he regarded as symptoms of poisoning. He quickly retired from the altar, and making known his situation, sent immediately to a drug store for an antidote. The emetic had the desired effect of relieving his stomach, but none too soon. A physician was summoned and applied the best known remedies for poison. Father Kelly was deathly sick when conveycd to his home. Life at Oneida, N. Y. "Tippecanoe Place" Destroyed. South Bend, Ind., Oct 10.—About 3 a.m. "Tippecanoe Place," the mansion of Hon. Clem Studebaker, ono of the finest in the northwest, was discovered to be on fire. Mrs. Stud -baker noticed smoke in the house, and after a search found the fire in a closet on the first floor. When she opened the door the flames rushed out, ran up the elevator and a stairway to the fourth floor and roof. Owing to the absence of Mr. Studebaker, who is with the American congress on its tour through New England, and her son and daughter, who are in Cincinnati, Mrs. Studebaker was alone with her grandson, Miss Isabel Milburn, and several servants.IN THE BASEBALL WORLD. Before each discharge communication is opened between the storage and the firing reservoir until the pressure in the latter is shown by two gauges to be 750 pounds per square inch. The communication is then sent off. Seven hundred and fifty pounds is always the initial firing pressure. The firing valve opens communication between the firing reservoir and the gun barrel, allowing air to flow into the latter i . rear of the shell, starting the latter on its flight. The longer the valve is left open the greater the range of the projectile. It is the function of the firing valve, therefore, to cut off this flow of air at different intervals of time in order to vary the range of the projectile as desired. The president received the guests in the red room, assisted by Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Windom, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Rusk and all the members of the cabinet, except Secretary Proctor, who is out of the city. They were at first introduced to the president by Eminent Sir Knight Myron M. Parker, of Washington, and he shook hands with each; but as the throng in waiting seemed endless, the president soon abandoned hand shaking to c xpedite the passage of the crowd. The Sir Knights and ladies then pa«*sed along rapidly, saluting the president as they passed by. The guests entered the front doorway and passed out on the rear portico into the grounds south of the White House, which were brilliantlj' illuminated with Chinese lanterns and colored lights. A steady stream poured in and out of the mansion until 11 o'clock, when the front doors The robbers who chloroformed the household of Mrs. Mary J. Ross at Elizabeth, N.

Rather a Ghastly Joke, " The Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public. At Baltimore- Baltimore  Association. City of Mexico, Oct. 10.—Some bakera in a large baking establishment in this city, as a joke, put one of their number in a vacant oven and clcsed the door. The unfortunate man was soon asphyxiated. When his companions learned his fate they threw the body into a furnace to cover up the crime. They have been arretted. A hearing is fixed for tc-morrow.

One of the parishioners went to Syracuse to have the wine in the bottle analyzed. Several tests wero made, each disclosing the presence of arsenic in large quantities. The theory is that some one entered the rink by means of a false key Sunday or Monday night and put the deadly drug in the small bottle of wine left there, as arsenic was found scattered on the altar. It had been calculated that a fall in pressure in the firing reservoir from 750 pounds to 680 pounds per square inch would throw a regulation shell to a distance of one mile, and this calcu at ion was shown to be correct.

A Proposed Pennsylvania Ship Canal, Almost a Shell a Minute. It is said that flour barrels can now be made out of cotton duck. The experiment is said to be a great success. Washington, D. 0., Oct. 10—J. P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon, Pa., was to-diy elected Grand Master of the Knights Templar, at the grand encampment here. Hugh McCurdy, of Michigan, was chosen Deputy. Harrisbukg, Oct. 10.—In pursuance of a joint resolution passed by the legislature Governor Beaver has appointed a commission to determine the feasibility of connecting Lake Erie and the Ohio river by «a ship canal, as follows: John A.Wood and Reuben Miller, Pittsburg; ex-Congressman W. S. Shallenberger, Rochester, Pa.; Eben Brewer, Erie; John M. Goodwin, Sharpsville, Mercer county. This commission is empowered to survey and lay out a route for the canal if feasible, and to estimate the expense of its construction and make report thereof to the next legislature. For the expenses of this commission $10,000 has been appropriated. Governor Beaver is authorized to fix the compensation of the commission. This is a project which has excited great interest in the western part of tho state. Five shells were next fired from the starboard gun in six minutes and fifty-eight seconds, the losses of pressure in the firing reservoir being 118 pounds, 112 pounds, 105 pounds, 130 pounds and 118 pounds respectively. With one shell loaded in the port gun therefore the fifteen shots were fired In sixteen minutes and nine seconds, or, taking into consideration the time necessary to load all fifteen shells—that is, starting with the three guns empty—the fifteen shots were fired in sixteen minutes aud fifty seconds. Keystone Sabbatli School Convention. Sheriff Flack, Will Flack, Referee Moeks and George D. Hart, the principal persons interested in the notorious Flack case, have pleaded not guilty.

Every section of the state is well represented. Committees wero appointed and reports from officers read. Dr. W. S. Ross, chairman of the executive committee, suggested that a state secretary should be appointed by the association, on a salary, to devote his entire time to the work. In the afternoon the Sunday school scholars of this city paraded and participated in exercises in the Academy of Music and Second Presbyterian church. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. J. A.

Louisville (Ky.) commandery followed and showed the spectators the perfection it had attained in the various difficult evolutions which thoy executed. De Molay commandery of Louisville, Ky., came next, and its execution of the hollow square and Maltese cross called forth rapturous applause. The Detroit commandery, sixty members, came next, and for so large a body of men did excellent work.

When the test began the air pressure in the storage reservoirs was 2,000 pounds per square inch. After the fifteen shots had been fired the pressure was between 1,200 and 1,300 pounds per square inch, which was sufficient for at least ten shots more. Had the air pumps been kept running during the firing five more shots could have been provided for. It is thus demonstrated that the Vesuvius can fire thirty shells—all that she can carry— without stopping to fill the air reservoirs. This is dcuble thg capacity demanded by the contract, and the rapidity was nearly twice as groat as was required.

Magnificent Cloaks Jay Goald at a Ball. Henry Shaw's Bequest. Well Known Men at Dinner News from Johnstown, St. Louis, Oct. 10.—Jay Gould and party attended the Veiled Prophets' ball, and were the center of attraction in the box occupied by Governor Francis and staff, Miss Fisher and Miss Gould were tendered an invitation to dance by members of the Veiled Prophets' train, but declined. Mr. Gould said that if the world's fair went to the city with the prettiest women, St. Louis would get it surely. "Had Admiral Seymour's fleet included a Vesuvius that vessel could have placed herself behind any one of the huge armorclads of the attaokiug squadron, and from t.bat position could have easily landed within the shore forts at an angle of fall of about 25 degrees projectiles filled with the enormous charge of 500 pounds of dynamite, the effect of which can be imagined. Conversely, had the shore works possessed one or more dynamite guns, the attacking fleet probably would not have calmly delivered its flre from an anchorage position within a 1,600 yard range." St. Louis profits largely by the will of Mr. Henry Shaw, its noted philanthropist, the founder of the Shaw botanical garden. Hit estate is estimated to be worth nearly $5,000,- 000.
