The efforts of a portion of the division to prevent the doctor from being invited to lecture were unsuccessful, after causing much comment The latest phaas of .the atjair is that the eminent and venerable priest, Father Bylvester Ualone will probably be present at the lectors.

Mr. Macomber »vus county clerk of Erie county for ten years, and Was afterward appointed port warden of New York by Governor Tildeu. He held a prominent position 'as a leader of he Democratic party in Erie county for tiany years. He was a ready talker, and was regarded as one of the shrewdest politicians in the state. He was also the warm personal friend of Mr. Cleveland They were together constantly. Maoomber 1s credited with being the first man to urge Mi*. Cleveland's nomination for sheriff of Erie county.

He canD*-by way of Rawlins, and brings the latent and most direct news about the Ute troubles. He is surprised to barn of the excitement which has been caused by the news from Meeker, and say* the real facts have been greatly exaggerated. There was some causa far apprehension at first, be says, but he considers that all danger to settlers is now over. He has a herd at 600 horses in the neighborhood of Meeker, and says he would 9ot have left the country had be considered that there would be any danger to them. He thinks the Utes are on the retreat, and that the sheriff and his force of 150 cowboys will never catch them, as the Indians do not want to fight. The move will have the good effect, though, he says, of driving the pests out of the country, leaving settlers free from molestation. He thinks the sending in of the troops had much to do with the retreat of the Indians. London, Aug. 23.—Mr. Frank H. Collier, of Chicago, was the recipient of a private audience with the queen, at Osborne house, yesterday afternoon and presented to ber majesty the jubilee address of the residents of Chicago of British birth or parentage. In presenting the address Mr. Collier said: "Your majesty, in 50,000 people of the city of Chicago of British birth or parentage, it gives me great pleasure to preeent to you this congratulatory jubilee address. Though separated far from °ur mother laud, our hearts sljlll beet iarmly with love and veneration for England's queeu." VV ilkbsbarre, Pa., Aug. 83.—A fearful riot took place Sunday at Glen Lyon, five miles from Nanticoke, In which SOU miners were engaged. The combatants wero composed of men of all nationalities, Irishmen, Welshmen, Hungarians, and Poles being largely represented Strangely enough the mad occurrence was inspired by a Methodist preacher named Taggart. It seems that it has been the custom of several Hungarian and Polish merchants of Nanticoke to send peddler* to Glen Lyon ialiy to supply certain boarding house keepers. These latter, In many instances, are hired by young unmarried men who club and live together. They order goods of the poddlers, who trust them. The Susquehanna Coal company always selects Saturday for pay day. Heretofore it has been their practice to pay at Nanticoke on Saturday. On this occasion, however, they paid the men at G!en Lyon, or Morgantown, on Sunday, which day has always been chosen by the ' merchants to make their collections.

Macomber was one of Mr. Cleveland's most active supporter* for mayor, and later for governor and president. In his early career Mr. Macomber had considerable wealth, butjost it all through reverses, and when Mr. Cleveland became president, Mr. Macomber moved here with his family, and became claim agent. He had the entree to the White House, and was instrumental in securing the appointment of a number of his friends in the government service. A little more than a year ago he had a stroke of partly sis which rendered him incapable of work. A. few weeks age he had another stroke. The New England Tea Company of Boston have rented the store room No. 69 Main timet, Butler House building, where they will establish a branch of their main "store at Boston. In'order to introduce their choice .goods this oompany will fot a few days put a souvenir la every can of tea and coffee sold, such aa solid gold and silver watches, genuine diamond, ruby, sapphire, pearl, emerald, aud turquoise jewelry, with solid gold settings, and other articles of less value. Every can oodtains a souvenir. The tea can ajd contents weigh about one and a half pounds, the coffee can and contents weigh about three pounds These really choice goods' will positively be sold on their merits in a levf days by the 00mptny's agent at the same price, same quality and same quantity, but without the souvenir, the tea and coffee alone without any regard ta the souvenir being worth .more than the price asked. "Certainly I do. In my estimation, and that of my brother, Rev. Sylvester Malone, Dr. McGIynn was unjustly excommunicated, and as good Catholics we must follow the dictates of our own conscience, which forbids us from severing our connection with Jiim." The queen replied: "I thank you and the people you represent for the address, and thank you personally for your own kind words. My answer to the address you will find in this paper." The queen then handed to Mr. Collier her formal reply to the address, which is as follows: CHIOAOO, Aug. 83.—Yesterday's events: First race, five-eighths of a mile; Hattie D. first, Contempt second, Comedy third; time, 1:04. Second race, one mile; Ira E. Bride first, Cardinal McCloskey second, Lemar third; time, 1:48%. Third race, seveneighths of a mile; Biddy Bowling first, Dyer second, Hattie third; time, 1:87}{. Fourth race, three-quarters of a mile; Barney Lee first, King Nero second, P. D. Q. third; time, 1:23. The quarrel in the Hibernians over this matter is attracting much attention in this city. The friends of Dr. McGIynn assert that his opponents are being Instigated by Boas McLaughlin because of Dr. McGlynn's influence in the United Labor party. The county board of the Ancient Order of Hibernians met last night to consider the McGIynn matter. After a stormy session i£ was voted to revoke the charter of Division 3 for inviting the doctor to lecture. Members of Division 8 say that the lecture will take place, nevertheless, and they will appeal from the action of the county board A large majority of the division take this ground  "I thank yon (or the address you have presented to me. Coming, as It does, from persons of English birth beyond the seas who retain feelings of love for their mother country au.l sympathy with her welfare, I receive it with peculiar satisfaction. That the people of Chicago should have given expression to these kind sentiments, not only toward the Angle-Saxon race of these realms, but also toward myself, is to me a source of much gratification, and sustains me in the belief that' the friendship and good will which now exists between the two countries, and which I liave always endeavored to promote, are of a real and enduring character," Mr. Collier was driven from Osborne House to Cowes iu one of the royal carriages and returned to London last ironing. He was asked by a press representative last night whether he kissed the queen's hand, and replied: "No; I did not, for the reason that it woul 1 have been improper, as I am not a British subject, but I am prond to be an "Americau citizen. I consider the fact that the queen granted a private audience for the purpose of presenting the address a compliment not only to the British resident* of Chicngo, but to citizens of the town genally."Last week the discovery was made that ttacoyiber and his family were In very destitute circumstances. They had not the means to bay medicine or any of the actual necessities of life. A friend took it upon himself to •vrite to CoL Lamont, asking him to call the presidents attention to the destitution of his j)d friend and companion. The president's response was very prompt He sent a letter to Mrs. Macomber, expressing his sympathy and inclosing a $50 bill, which he urgqd her to accept The same day a grocery wagon drew up before her door loaded with a large supply of table comforts. Mrs. Macomber asKed who had sent them, but the driver said be did not know; his orders were simply to leave them at the house. Rev. Mr. Taggart, of Qlen Lyon, has frequently preached against this desecration of the Sabbath, and finally determined to put a stop to It if possible. Sunday he organised a posse of his church members for that purpose. The men got wind of it, and made up their minds to resist any overtures of the kind. The collectors made their appearance, and the natural excitement of the moment was augmented by a universal indulgence in beer and whisky. Mr. Dreyfus graphically depicts a stirring border scene which occurred in Meeker last Wednesday, the time of the. greatest excitement there. Over 900 women and children of ranchihen, seeking protection in the city, were huddled together in the two hotels of the place, while the men guarded the little town. Scouts and sentinels were sent out into the adjacent country, and the signal Area of the Indians could be seui In the mountains. About 1 o'clock in the morning the town was thrown into mad excitement by one of the scouts coming in and reporting that a band of fifty Utes were near the town, and that an early attack might be expected. A wilder scene probably never before existed in a frontier town. The women were crowded in hotels with babies in their arms and children olinging to their skirts, and men rushed around and woke up the sleeping guards who were off duty.

When t1 it Physicians Arrive They Find As the day advanced the churchmen became alarmed at the situation and kept themselves in hiding. The feeling of antagonism Was so iatense, however, that it dually culminated in a free fight between men of opposite nationalities and maddened with drink. Soon 300 men were furiously engaged with sticks, stones and oluba for weapons. , ..VIM! AS * aw Four rfead Bodies. Marina Intelligence. Kit Wist, Fla., Aug.

THE CAPTAIN WAS LOST, ltnt the Vassal Saved from Destruction Baltimore, Aug. 23.—The British steamship Propitious, from Carthagena, arrived it this port yesterday afternoon in a badly battered oondition and without a captain, that officer having been lost on the voyage. The chief officer reports that on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, sixty miles off Cape Henry, the Propitious encountered a terrific {ale, which lasted until 3 o'clock in the after- by a Peculiar Accident. The riot lasted a half hour, and men were struck down on all sides. Dozens were carried away with cracked and bleeding heads to their homes. A few women mixed in the fray, and several of them were badly beaten. About daybreak four Utes were seen approaching the town on horseback, but it was teen that they carried a flag of truce. A delegation was sent out to them. The Utes had come, they said, to represent • band of eighteen Indians, who had come in from the Uintah reservation. They had heard of the trouble and wanted to know what It was all about. The other fourteen Utes, they said, were camped a couple of miles away. The four Utes were invited into towif, and thus the terrible massacre scare was ended TTie riot ceased only when the participants were too few to carry It on, the wounded requiting the attention of many who did not return after they left the field. It is now reported that over sixty of the rioters are seriously hurt, many of them fatally. The town is in a fevor of wild excitement. The affair will be investigated. The indignation meeting to protest against the government's proclamation of the National league, which is to be held in the rotunda at Dublin to-day, can scarcely fail to exercise a potent influence of the future action of the ministry in the enforcement of that part of tne crimes act relating to what the government may see fit to consider dangerous associations. Tha meeting will not be composed of a class of persons that the government can afford to Ignore, but on the contrary will include a: large number of highly respectable and' responsible Irishmen and Englishmen, exclusive of the scora or more of British members of the of commons who voluntarily signified their willingness to be presents* soon as the fact was made known to them that the meeting was projected. Since the announcement of the proclamation several Qladstonian members of parliament have become members of the league to accentuate their sympathy with that body and their dissent from the policy of the ministry, and many more stand ready to follow their example. It is asserted by league officials that eighty English Liberal members, not Including those already enrolled in the league, bavs indicated their intention to join the organization. noon.

At the time of the desertion he was with troop L, Seventh cavalry, stationed at Fort Lincoln, D. T. Arrested as a Deserter. Mr. Dreyfus says the ranchmen are now harvesting their crops in squads, working in bands of from ten to twenty and going from ranch to ranch. The women and children are still in Meeker. Ha says that Sheriff Kendall undoubtedly precipitated the trouble by his rashness. When be first visited Colorew*s oamp he had four men with him. There were only a faw Utes among the scattared tepees. The sheriff ordered the Indians to throw down their rifles. This they did Thsn ha told them to throw their knives to the ground The Utes reluctantly complied. "Hi cover them now while you pick up their arms," said the sheriff to his followers. The Indians judged from this that they were about to be massacred, and started pellmoll for tha adjaosat bushes. An Indian known as Uintah Frank grabbed a rifle from a neighboring tepee as he ran. Several shots were fired at him, one of which struck him, wounding him in the wrist The same bullet struck and slightly wounded another buck, and glancing into a tepee also Imbedded itself in the leg of a pappoose. When Uintah Frank reached tha bush he continued to fire at tha sheriff's men until they retreated This wis the opening of the general hostilities which followed, and which have cost the state $100,000 to date.
