TO BE ESTABLISHED BY CATHOLIC8 and on the Tnrf. 8T0RM. Honesdale, Pa., Sept. 8.—It it now a setdad fact that James P. McCabe, the man who murdered Farmer Riley, In Preston township, in the winter of 1885, and escaped from the Wayne county jail a short time before he was to have been executed, has been oyer since In the vicinity of his home near the scene of the murder. For two weeks a posse of men has been searching barns, houws and forests in Mount Pleasant and Preston townships, and twice were right upon the heels of the fugitive. At one time be was in a barn when the men were searching an adjacent farm house. The barn stood near a piece of woods and faced the house. McCabe could not get out of any of the doors without being observed from the bouse, so he kicked off a couple of boards on the back part of the building jtnd fled into the woods. ' Another time was working in a hay field, when the men went to search the bouse on the farm. The farmer's wife blew a horn, which was a signal of danger to McCabe, and h« again fled into the woods. On Satur- Say last it is reported that a pack of bloodhounds was let loose in the forest in which McCabe was concealed. Their howls spread terror among the people who live in the small clearings, and the greatest excitement for a time prevailed. The pursued man soon emerged from the woods, but not until night fell, and the last tidings of him was in Clinton township, where he was seen going in the direction of the coal region* HI8 INFLUENCE Worcester, Mass., Sept. 8.—The state convention of the Prohibition party yesterday made the following nominations: For governor, Mr. Earle; lieutenant governor, Dr. JohnBlackmer; secretary of state, Amos E Hall; state treasurer, J. H. Kilborn; for auditor, E M. Stowe; for attorney general, Allen Coffin. The platform adopted demands the abolition of licensing the manufacture and sale of liquor, declares tho principle of local option to be insufficient to guard against the inroads of intemperance, asserts that there is no prospect of securing remedial legislation through either of the great political parties, and insists that the maintenance of a third party is essential to securing constitutional prohibition.

The object of their visit was to discuss the plans for the Cathollo university. Tho first meeting took place at noon, Cardinal Gibbons in the chair. Among those present were Archbishops Corrigan, of Now York, and Williams, of Boston; Bishops Ireland, of St. Paul, and Keane, of Richmond, and Mgr. Farley, of New York. A discussion arose on the location of the university, and white Washington was preferred by some, Philadelpdia was named, and some point in the west was thought by others most desirable, in view of the growth of the ooun try in that direction. Saved His Ufa. Coopcqstowr, N. Y., (Sept. 8.— In the southorn part of Otsego county a tierce cycloue laid waste quite a large territory yesterday. Dark and threatening clouds made their appearanoe shortly before noon near tho town of Milford. They were followed by thunder and lightning and a destructive wind. Commencing about two and a hull miles south of Milford, the tornado pas od eastward, making a path about 800 feet wide, in which it did great damage. It pastel over Cremhorn mountain and tore down two houses, a school house and a nuiiitur of barns and did considerable damage south of Worcester and upon South hill. Houses were carried a great distance from their foundations, and some of them were badly wrecked. The schoolhouse was completely destroyed, and not a vestige «f it has been found. Trees two and three feet i:i di-msler were uprooted, and fences And other structures laid low. The telegraph and telephone wires are all down, and it is impossible to obtain more than the most meager details. It is reported that three men were killed on South hill, and that a woman and a child' were badly injured on Cremhorn mountain. No names could be learned. It is probable that the dumaje is much more sorious than is apparent from reports which have thus far been received. London, Sept. 8.—Tho Tory press unmercifully pokes fun at the tetter of the Philadelphia committee to Mr. Gladstone, inviting the ex-premier to be present at the centennial celebration of the adoption of the constitution of the United States, and, as though by N*w York, Sept. a—The Banburg-Eikwood match attracted a large crowd to the raoes of the Coney Island Jockey club at 3heepshead Bay yesterday. The weather was pleasant and the track good. First race, purse $500, one mile; Stuyvesant first. Favor wcond, Choctaw third; time, 1:40.

Fourth race, match, 95,000 a side, CI,000 added by the club, mile and a quarter; Banburg first, Elkwood second; time, 2:07*.

Woodward. prearrangsment, ring the changes on the phrase, "the triumph of oentripetal over centrifugal force in politics," which is only one of the many original forms of expression contained in the letter. The Conservative papers assert with perfect unanimity that the assumption of the committee that Mr. Gladstone oould by any possibility represent BngUnit «nj her institutions is as absurd and untenable a* is Mr. Gladstone's programme to disrupt the union. Had the Philadelphia oommittee desired the presence of a representative of extreme anti-English sentiment, one paper says, its members could not have gone far astray in soliciting Mr. Gladstone's uttendance, and it is gratifying to observe that the ex-premier has still remaining, despite the influence of bis new associations, that quality of honor which impels a man to refuse to place himself in a false position before the world and endeavor to appear as that which he is not. It is rumored that the Vatican has intimated its willingness to undertake the task of mediating between the government and the leaders of the Irish party for the final settlement of the Irish question on the lines of a moderate measure of home rule, and it is also said that such a proposal would find favor ill tho minds of the liberal Unionists as a whole, a large number of Tories and not a small portion of the followers of Mr. Gladstone. Whether the project would be satisfactory to the Parnellitea, tho most of whom are committed to a policy of absolute control of purely Irish affairs, is not stated; but the probabilities are that they could easily be persuaded to be guided by tho maxim that half a loaf is better than no bread, and aocept the pope's offices of mediation. The project Is understood to be the result of Mgr. Persico's mission to Ireland, and if it should be carried out to a successful issue would greatly strengthen the Vatican's chances of restoring full diplomatie relations with England. If his holiness could thus finally relieve the government from the harassment of the Irish question, the privilege of tending a papal nuncio to London and receiving in return an English ambassador at the Vatican would seem to be but small compensation for the service rendered. The relief fund for the sufferers by the Exeter theatre fire has reached a sum exceeding £303 and is rapidly increasing. The managers of the London theatres are striving hard to overcome the damaging effect of the disaster upon the attendance at the metropolitan theatres, and are publishing statements showing the abundant facilities for exit possessed by their respective houses, and the marvellously short time in which they can be emptied without resorting to unusual haste, and with no danger of choking up the passage ways. The government will Immediately introduce a bill In the house «( commons prescribing such regulations foi theatres and publio halls as may ha neons sary in addition to the present law* to prevent a repetition of the Exeter horror, and an attempt will be made to lay aside all other business until It shall b» passed. The one exciting episode of the day was over the resolution treating of woman suffrage. When it was read the delegates cheered and stamped, clapped their hands and shrieked till they were exhausted. Then somebody called for a second reading, and the delegates again went wild with excitement After the reading of the resolutions W. W. Nash, of Williamsburg, said that some of the "third party" men thought woman suffrage not only inexpedient, but absolutely wrong, and, as the party could not afford to estrange any of its voters, he offered as a substitute "that the question of woman suffrage ought to be submitted to the people by the legislature."

Bishop Keane, of Richmond, was elected as first rector of the university. A building committee, consisting of Archbishop Williams, Bishop Keane and Thomas Waggaman, of Washington, was appointed. A collecting committee, including aJJ the arohbishops and bishops in the United States, was also appointed. It is said that $8,000,000 will be required to build and place the university on a solid basis. Of that amount about S700,000 has been secured, including the C300,000 donated by Miss Caldwell. The theological department will be the first to be opened, and that will be under the charge of the order of St Sulpice. Buck leu's Arnioa Salve- Tuesday night a band of men was organized in Honeedals to oontinue the pursuit They deployed along the crest of the Moosio mountain, where it was though McCabe would cross to reach the Lackawanna valley, but they failed to capture him. Before daylight on Wednesday a number of buildings in Carbondale and along, the bass of the mountain in Wayne county were searched, but without success. Those in quest of the fugitive completely lost track of him and returned to Honeedala. Where he Is now is s mystery.  Then there was a tremendous row. Man after man got the floor, only to be crowded out by points of order and cries of "Order' and "Question." Tho discussion was continued with great animation, and then the substitute end amendment were adopted by an overwhelming majority.

The stock market was moderately active this morning, while prioes were irregular.
