Neighbors came with lanterns, but the only sign of the assailants was a single barreled gun found in the grass about fifty yards from the house. and Mr. Flint, who is one of the best informed men on Brazil in the city, interpreted this communication to mean that the Brazilian army had revolted, but that the navy had remained loyal to the empire, and that the two forces had come into hostile contact with the result of the death of the miuister of the navy. Mr. Flint regarded the matter as a serious one, not only as regards Brazil, but as regards the trade of the United States with Brazil.

The county constables were started out to find him, but .no trace of him was discovered until last night, when Tony Robinson, an old colored man who lives about a quarter of a mile from Sisco's, found him in his hay mow, faint and probably fatally wounded.

The persons who were injured by his shots were taken before Justice Westervelt, of Bergen Fields, and swore to a complaint against the prisoner, charging him with atrocious assault and battery with intent to kill.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16.—The committee on land resumed its report immediately after the Knights of Labor convention was called to order and continued until the arrival of Col. L. P. Livingston, president of the Farmers' alliance. With Col. Livingston came Judge Henderson, commissioner of agriculture; R. F. Gray, editor of The National Economist, and Mr. Henry Brown, editor of The Georgia Farmer. Col. Livingston was received with immense applause. He said that other work had prevented his studying the objects of the Knights of Labor, but he felt sure that when the convention met at St. Louis, Dec. S, the confederation would be formed, and he also felt sure that it would be equally beneficial to both orders. In Mr. Powderly's reply he thanked God for this day, and said the day when the farmer and mechanic should stand side by side and work for the same object had always been a dream of his. The entire meeting was most enthusiastic, and every mention of the confederation of the two orders was met with thundering applause. Universal Suffrage in Spain. The Brazilian province of Para, which is the great source of rubber used in the United States, had long been dissatisfied with its lot under the imperial government. There was an annual assessment of duties of $6,000,- 000 on the products of Para, of which about 11,000,000 was devoted to the local government of Para. The other $5,000,000 went into the general Brazilian treasury. The people of Para had long considered this distribution unjust, and were consequently likely to seize any opportunity to make a change. If Para had joined the revolutionists the rubber exportation to the United States must be seriously affected. But even if Para had remained loyal to the empire the revolution would still interfere with the exportation, and the rubber trade of the United States would be affected seriously.

Lock Haven, Pa., Nov. 16.—The evil effects of the June floods on the health of the people of this city and adjacent river towns are beginning to appear.

He said ht was perfectly satisfied with the legislation and work of the meeting, and with the ad dKion of Brooklyn and Cincinnati he considered the League stronger now than it ever was. The increase of the bond to bC given by each club to $25,000 not only insures the financial responsibility of th« League, but is a guarantee to the playen that any contract made between a League club and a player can be enforced by the player. The League by the abolishment of the "sales" system and the classification rule, and by the payment of $250 to Sutcliffe, has given the players more than they asked for, all of which carries out my promise to Mr. Ward that the matters referred to in our June conference could safelj be intrusted to the League for a fair consideration and settlement.

These gentlemen have been charged to conceal no unfavorable facts, and not to underrate anything that is of a hopeful nature. If they flud the canal to be an impracticable undertaking they will decreothe loss of £50,- (XX),000 or £60,(XX),000 of French money. If, on the other hand, they say the work ought to be persevered in they will have perhaps added further to the responsibility of their position. About a month before that speech was made the emperor's life was attempted. The would-be assassin was pronounced a lunatic, and the Republican party immediately disowned all sympathy with or participation in the attempted crime. 34 Luzerne Ave., WEST PITTSTON. Notice to Taxpayers. The most powerful enemies of the government are those created by its most truly liberal action—i. e., the emancipation of its remaining slaves—about 500,000—last year, without compensation to the owners. Even the hostility of that class did not weaken the position of the government at the recent elections, and if that can be taken as a true indication of the tendency of the people the day of a republic is still distant from Brazil.

Mr. Spalding saic it was the opinion of some of the most prom inent lawyers of the country that Buch an injunction will hold. He had seen no opin ion from any lawyer to the contrary.

It was decided to keep the fact of the shootiug quiet until Button, who was suspected of the crime, could be found. The county constables were started out to find him, but .no trace of him was discovered until last night, when Tony Robinson, an old colored man who lives about a quarter of a mile from Sisco's, found him in his hay mow, faint and probably fatally wounded. Constable John V. B. Westervelt was notified and the wounded man was carried into the house. He "admitted that he fired two shots and said he crept into the barn because he was not able to travel any further. The persons who were injured by his shots were taken before Justice Westervelt, of Bergen Fields, and swore to a complaint against the prisoner, charging him with atrocious assault and battery with intent to kill. All of the occupants of the house were hit, and it is feared that some of the shot lodged in Henry Sisco's stomach. The Desperado Captured. Charles Brown, aged 20, of Pennsylvania avenue, Newark, N.

Gray, editor of The National Economist, and Mr. Henry Brown, editor of The Georgia Farmer. Col. Livingston was received with immense applause. He said that other work had prevented his studying the objects of the Knights of Labor, but he felt sure that when the convention met at St. Louis, Dec. S, the confederation would be formed, and he also felt sure that it would be equally beneficial to both orders. In Mr. Powderly's reply he thanked God for this day, and said the day when the farmer and mechanic should stand side by side and work for the same object had always been a dream of his. The entire meeting was most enthusiastic, and every mention of the confederation of the two orders was met with thundering applause. Universal Suffrage in Spain. The Brazilian province of Para, which is the great source of rubber used in the United States, had long been dissatisfied with its lot under the imperial government. There was an annual assessment of duties of $6,000,- 000 on the products of Para, of which about 11,000,000 was devoted to the local government of Para. The other $5,000,000 went into the general Brazilian treasury. The people of Para had long considered this distribution unjust, and were consequently likely to seize any opportunity to make a change. If Para had joined the revolutionists the rubber exportation to the United States must be seriously affected. But even if Para had remained loyal to the empire the revolution would still interfere with the exportation, and the rubber trade of the United States would be affected seriously.

The League by the abolishment of the "sales" system and the classification rule, and by the payment of $250 to Sutcliffe, has given the players more than they asked for, all of which carries out my promise to Mr. Ward that the matters referred to in our June conference could safelj be intrusted to the League for a fair consideration and settlement.

Notice to Taxpayers. The most powerful enemies of the government are those created by its most truly liberal action—i. e., the emancipation of its remaining slaves—about 500,000—last year, without compensation to the owners.
