News that Judge Joseph Potter, of the supreme court, had granted a stay of the execution of the sentence reached the city from Whitehall yesterday, and an application for Bharp's release on bail will follow. District Attorney Martine, who wns at Long Branch when the news came, says that be will demand that ball be fixed at 11,000,000. He had anticipated that a stay would be granted, and several days ago he applied to Governor Hill, asking him, in case a stay was granted, to convene an extraordinary session of the general term, so that the argument on appeal can be heard at once. This dispatch was sent to the Pennsylvania Prohibition convention at Harrisburg and to a number of camp meetings: London, Aug. 26.—An enormous crowd congregated in the palace yard yesterday afternoon to await the arrival at the house of commons of Mr. Gladstone, and when the Liberal loader finally came he received an ovation fit for a king. Nor did the enthusiastic greeting of the grand old man stop here. His entrance into the house was the signal for a burst of cheering, hand clapping, bat tossing and handkerchief waving that lasted for several minutes. Philadelphia., Aug. 26.—There war. a sad aoene in a coach on the early train from Atlantic City yesterday morning. It was that of a child, abont 2 years old. dying in a heartbroken mother's arms. The mother, a brown eyed, fair faced and intelligent woman of perhaps 28 years, sat moaning in one oorner of the coach ore* a thin faced, sickly looking infant, which was rapidly dying. Not a word did the mother say until after the train had passed Newfleld, and even then it was only four words she uttered: "My baby is dead I" A dozen kindly persons bent over the grief stricken mother, and tried to persuade her that the little thing might lire, but ten minutes before the train rolled into the station at Camden the infant's eyea closed, it gave a convulsive shudder, and was dead. After leaving the train, and having the deed body placed in charge of an undertaker, the woman took an afternoon train for Dubuque, la., her home. —Rochester, 12; Hamilton, 9.

The New York executive oommittee submitted the following outline of a platform, which was sent to the committee on platform: Several whites who live in the neighborhood, hearing of the shooting during the forenoon, armed themselves and started out to investigate. When within about half a mile o( Chapman's house they were halted by about twenty armed negroes, who opened h fusilade. Two of the whites were probably fatally shot and one badly wounded. Four of the blacks were shot down. On behalf of labor we demand the prohibition of the liquor traffic as the most important reform. We also favor the exemption of homesteads, within certain limits, from taxation and from levy and sale for debt; that laws relating to child labor and compulsory education should be strictly enforced and their provisions extended; that the health and safety of workers In the performance of their duties should be seeared by law; that postal savings banks and postal telegraphs should be established. We also recommend that a Judicious system of profit sharing between employers ami their employes be inaugurated; that the establishment of co-operative business enterprises by laboring men be promoted by wise legislation, and that all differences relating to the rewards of labor be settled by arbitration. We ask equal wages for men and women for the same kind and quality of work. We are opposed to the holding of large tracts of land for speculative purposes by any Individual or corporation, and demand that the public lands be reserved for actual settlers. In marked contrast to the reception of Mr. Gladstone by the people assemblud outside of the parliament house was that accorded by the populace to Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Goshen. As each of these gentlemen appeared in view a storm of groans, hoots and hisses arose, and increased in volume until the object of the crowds detestation disappeared from sight The effect of this exhibition of popular disfavor upon Mr. Goshen, in particular, was unmistakably severe, and the spectacle of the chancellor of the exchequer cringing and shrinking before the derisive howls, jeers and hisses of a representative crowd of Englishmen was extremely pitiful Yesterday afternoon a large gang of whites collected and arrested about a dozen negroes, who were lodged in jail. Buckles'* Arnica Salve* The principal grounds on which Judge Potter granted tho stay are as follows: Error In admitting some of the evidence for the proioeution, and those portions of Judge Burrtitt's charge that referred to that evidence. Judgo Potter decides that Sharp's evidence before the senate investigating committee was incompetent on the trial, as was the testimony that soma of the persona indicted with 8harp could not be present to testify against Sharp beenuw of their sojourn in Canada, and the opinion, a supposition of the witness Miller (an 1884 alderman), aa to the purpose or motive of Da Lacy (another 1884 alderman) when he banded Miller the •3,000.

Since 3 o'clock over 100 armed negroes have arrived at Clear Lake, the place where the prisoners are confined, and more are constantly coming. They are very boisterous and say they will rescue come what may. Probably fifty white mon are determined to resist the mob. They have the advantage of a good position, being in houses. Moreover, the prisoners are all chained to posts in the prison yard, and have been told if any attempt is made to rescue them they will b* shot at once. She had had a history as a married voman, and aa the related her trials in the tation there was not one who heard it bat iad moistened eyes. Three years ago she, hen Emily Oatton, was married to Cabal easup, an Australian, who visited her at ler home in Green's comers, near Dubuque, a. Jessup was formerly engaged to a (Oman in Melbourne, Australia, but one year lefore he met Miss Oatton the match was Drolcen off. Emily and her husband ivel happily together, and their union rua blessed with a baby boy. But it ppears that the girl he left in Melbourne, vhon she learned that he had gone to Ameroa, followed him. Before coming east he iad lived in Ban Franciaoo, and to this place he traced him. Being unable to stand her constant annoyance, he went to fit. Louis. Tessup told his wife of his former lore affair ind of his flight, and also why ha had been torn polled to leave San Francisco, but at lothing more was seen of the girl they tried » forget her. One day, however, Jessup »m« home and told hit wife that the firl had traced him, and he had met her in the streets of Dubuque. Just three weeks ifterward the wife awoke one morning to Snd herself deserted by her husband, who liad also taken the baby. He had left a letter, in which he stated that he loved their child better than life, and must take it with him. After this the desefted woman wat tick for a time, but upon recovery sold everything and tried to trace her hutband. First he was traced to Chicago, then to Pittsburg, and later to Philadelphia. He got wind of the fact of his wife's presence in each Instance, and left before he ooold be caught Finally, when on the verge of distraction and contqmplating suicide, the wife learned that Jeesup was in Atlantic City. Finding the recreant husband, she demanded hor child, saying that «he wanted nothing more. This was granted, but she found that her baby was almost at death's door. With the child in her arms she took the train for this city. She refused all offers of assistance from thoee who heard her story, saying that she wat able to care for herself, and would spend the rest of her life in her Iowa home. The absence of Mr. Jobn Morley from his ■est was conspicuously noticeable, and was the cause of much comment of varied character. The Tories claim that his failure to respond to the Liberal whip signifies his dissent from the recent tactics of the English {liberals anent the National league, but this is not the case. The purpose of Mr. Gladstone in moving against the government's proclamation is merely to place the Liberal party squarely upon record as branding the action of the ministry as outrageously unjust and unprovoked, and this can be done thoroughly without necessitating Mr. Morley's shortening his vacation and hastening to London. Had Mr. Morley's voice or vote been essential to the success of Mr. Gladstone's object he most assuredly would have been in his seat. Albany, Aug. 20.—After vexatious dear, caused by severe rains, the circuit raoes at Island park were commenced yesterday. Attendance fair; track rather heavy.

I have been a periodical sufferer from H»r Fever (a most annoying and loathsome affli tion), since ihe summer of 1879, and until I used Ely's Cream Balm was never able to floo any relief until cold weather.

The report is current that the convict farm, eight miles southeast of Clear Lake, h ns;been attacked by a band of thirty armed hlncks, who murdered Mr. Williams, the lessee, and released the prisoners. Judge Potter quote* the resolution passed 3j the senate authorizing the railroad committee to make an investigation, and adds that he is very decidedly of the opinion that the court erred in the admission of such testimony on the ground that the rule at common law and lx*foru the adoption of the constitution of the United States was that a witness should rot be obliged to give evidence which could be used against himself in any criminal trial. That principle is embodied in the constitution of the United States, and is substantially contained in the constitution of every state in the union. Chapman's farm buildings, as well as those of several other whites, have been burned. Sheriff Hicks, of Lonoke, has been notified, and is en route to the scene of disturbance with a strong posse. L.

The Prohibitionists of the Twenty-fifth senatorial and oongressional districts, composed of Cortland and Onondaga counties, held their convention yesterday afternoon, and nominated W. H. 8. Green, of Fabius, for state senator, and F. A. Sinclair, of Skaneateles, for member of congress. Three Hundred Miners. He quotes the E;nory case, which arose before a committee of the! Massachusetts legislature to Investigate suspected bribery of oonstablcs ni'.d policemen, and other cases. "There is no qui-stion of tho legality of the senate committee's status and right to inquire whether the consent of the board of aldermen to the construction of the Broadway was obtained through fraud, corrupt influence and irlbery of such authority," ■ays the judge. The questions put by the committeo were proper, too, but the court cannot btlluve that Sharp'* answers should have been u ed against him on his trial for bribery, bemuse section 79 of the penal coda says: "A perron offending against any provision of any foregoing section of the code, relating to bribery, in a competent witness against another person so offending, bnt the testimony so given shall not be used in any prosecution or proceeding, civil or criminal, against the person bo testifying." The scene in the house when Mr. Gladstone arose to speak was highly exciting. He was tremendously cheered at the beginning of his speech and vociferously applauded at the end, and the howls and cat calls of the younger Tories sank into Insignificance benoath the weight of the avalanche of approving cries. Mr. Gladstone was in splendid form. His voice rang out with all of its aocustomed clearness and resonance, and the vigor of his gestures betokened excellent health and intense devotion to his cause. His utteranoes attested the fixity of the Liberal position, and left nothing to be explained as to its full definition, which, summarized, is that the Liberal party is unalterably op posed to the government's -policy of coercion in Ireland, and equally determined to support the Farnellites in defending the rights of the National league. NautICOKB, Pa., Aug. 86. —Terrible citomcnt was caused yesterday in the fatal No. 1 shaft, at this place, by the breaking away of earth barriers that separated a worked out portion of the colliery from the chambers where mining is in progress, and the sudden precipitation of a large body of water into a gangway, where over 300 miners wore at work. For a long time past a huge subterranean reservoir has been forming, containing millions of gallons of water. This underground lake was 570 feet below the surface. The chamber where the men were at work was 150 feet further down and about the same distance from the mined galleries. The first Intimation the men had that the mine was being flooded was the sudden appoarance of water in the chambers. As it increased in depth many hurriedly quit work and rushed to the bottom of the shaft By this time a regular exodus from all parts of the colliery set in, the miners wading through water waist high before the last of them got out. The work of rescuing the men was proceeded with promptly, the steam carriage taking up twenty at a time. All sorts of rumors were set adrift, and the mouth of the mine was crowded with anxious women and children exhibiting the usual alarm and franctic demonstrations. Luckily all the men were taken out safely. Ninety mules perished. Work will be suspended for an indefinite period, as the water is still running In. Had the earth fissure been wide enough to admit the whole volume of water at ouce, not a man would have been saved. That hacking cough can be so quickly cured by Shiloh's Cure.

Sir Bedvers Bnller, under secretary for Ireland, which was exhaustively discussed at the conference of Liberal members held yesterday. Presuming that Gen. Buller's sources of information as to the state of Ireland were ample and reliable, and that his report embodies the most damaging evidence against the National league that could be secured, the Liberals contend that by Builei's and consequently the government's own showing the ministry's proceeding against the league was without warrant in fact or suspicion.

COLOROW WANTS A TALK Bourke Cock ran, who argued Sharp'* application (or a stay before Julge Potter, heard the news on a flying visit to town on his way to Saratoga, and at once sent a messenger up to Lu How street jail with it. With Governor Adams, Who Has Gone to Meet Him. Denver, Colo., Aug. 26.—A courier reached Glen wood yesterday with information to Governor Adams that Colorow wanted a parley with him and had refused to deal with the officers. He says the soldiers must go back or have a fight. The Indians were intercepted by Maj. Leslie with eighty men of the Colorado cavalry and the Utes number 800. They are in Pot Hole basin, northeast from Meeker about fifty miles. The situation is a fine one for the Indians, as they can resist an attack from more troops than have - been sent against them. McAndrews, the man from Fort "Duchesne, who talks many dialects, has been sent out to explain to the Indians the demands of the whites, that those who have violated the law must be surrendered for trial. Governor Adams left for Meeker last night to meet Colorow and endeavor to induce the Indians to leave for their reservation, where Colorow baa never been for any great length of time. The cabinet council, which was in session two hours yesterday, devoted its time to discussing the National league question, and, it is understood, without reaching any other decision than the one arrived at when the council last met. Evidence is rapidly accumulating that the government keenly feels the peculiarly embarrassing position in which it is placed. It is afraid to go further forward, and dare not go back. Threatened with the loss of popular support on the one hand and the wealth of the Tory squires on the other, tho ministry knows not which way to turn, and the probabilities are that the ultimate result will bo a split in the Conservative party. Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour remained in conversation together for some time after the adjournment of the council. New York, Aug. a#.—As was generally expected, Groves teen & Pell, bankers and brokers, doing business at Exchange place and New street, announced their failure in the Stock Exchange yesterday morning.

Their assets were put at $2,000,000, consisting mainly of the securities of the two now southern railroads. A Heavy Failure. Frxeport, Ilia,, Aug. 26.—In an attempt to beat the record. Jay Eye See, with a running mate, trotted a mile at Taylor'i driving park yesterday in 2:12X- Horsemen generally say that it was remarkable speed, considering the (act that it was the horse's first appearance on the track (or some time. The day was oold and disagreeable, and the track not very fast Mrs. Snarp was alone with her husband. Warden Keating took the note which Mr. Cockran had sent, ami han '.cd it to Sharp as he reclino.1 on his chair. Sharp read it without movi.ig a muscle of liis face or saying a word, lln then passed it to Mrs. Sharp. She Was greatly elated, but her pleasure had no effect on Sharp, who paid no more attention to it than if he did not comprehend it His wife endeavored in many ways to arouse his interest, but she could not Dr. Loomis, who called a little later, said that Sharp was certainly no better. Mr. Cockran soon followed his note. He said afterward: Interstate Extradition Conference. New Your, Aug. 26.—The Interstate Extradition conference adjourned sine die yesterday.

Y.t Aug. 26.—John Ostronder went out into his grandfather's orchard yesterday morning with his gun. He struck an apple with the butt of the gun and the weapon was discharged. The shot entered his neck and shoulder. He is now in a critical condition. "I went to the clerk's office and read the judge's opinion ss soon as I heard the news. Then I went to the jail I found Mr. Sharp in that invalid chair and spoke to him. He received me stolidly, aa be has received every move and change in the case. He did not say anything about it I have had no consultation with my associates about the caw, and will not have until tomorrow. We will not do anything to-day toward getting him out on bail. I will suggest to Mr. Martina that we agree upon a day that shall be convenient to all of us, when an application for Mr. Sharp's release will be made. We will probably goto Judge Potter, for any other judge would be pretty sure to refer us to him, since he is familiar with the case. The decision was no surprise to me. I don't suppose there was a lawyer in the city who expected any other decision. It was the only just view of the case; the only question was whether the judge would have the moral courage to avow his convictions,"Capture of a Notorious Bandit. SWIFT RETRIBUTION.
