No change is reported in tho aspect of affairs, hut the strikers' condition is hopeful. It was stated that 10,000 kogs of beer arrived in this city yesterday from Albany, and Toledo. Tho strikers say that every saloon keeper in tho city is soiling beer manufactured by tho Union Brewers. A Lunatic Attompto to Kill a Priest. June Heilly, of Smoketown, a suburban portion of the town of Olyphant, created the wildestex- citement at that place on Sunday morning by an attempt to assassinate Rev.

Father O'Rourko during the celebration of mass. Reilly returned home from tho Danville Insane Asylum a few months ago and has boon frantic at times Kinco then. On Sunday morning he marched through tho principal streets to the churoh carrying a loaded repeating rifle. Upon reaching tho church ho passed up the centre aisle to tho altar and aimed his gun at tho priest. Several men caught him before ho could fire and forced him from tho church.

A Severe Btorm, ST. Juno storirf on Saturday night extended over nearly all of Minnesota and was accompanied by much lightning and heavy wind. All railroads wore more or loss affected, and telegraphic communication was interrupted on all lines. Communication has not yet boon restored, A special from Northfiold says that a most ferocious wind storm, accompanied by a perfect sheet of water, with thunder and lightning, struck that place at (5 o'clock last night. In thirteen minutes after that time two inches of water had fallen, and the wiud blow at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour, as near as could bo calculated.

The streets in many places are impassable by reason of fallen trees, many of which are fourteen inches in diameter. The steeple of tho now Congregational church, which was one hundred and nineteen feet high, was blown down, and the whole building backed six inches out of plumb. The wind blew tho windmill belonging to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad into 100 pieces through the tank house, about two aud a half feet out of plumb, and carried one empty car standing on tho side track a distance of twenty-flve feet. The loss cannot yet be accurately estimated, but it will reach into thousauds.

It is believed that tho wheat crop is not far enough advanced to suffer seriously from the storm. The grain is doubtless prostrated in many fields, but it is thought it will rise again. It is probable that the heavy rain will bo injurious to the'wheat on the low lands. Mr. and Mrs.

Chaflco, Jiving in the town of Lara, were killed by the blowing down of their house. The barn of p. Prahor, iu tho same towu, was unroofed, buryiug Jug daughter in the ruins. She taken out in an unconscious, condi- the effort may expected at, any moment. Already the leaders of the democratic wing have a grind dual to say about tho invalidity of these proceedings, claiming that tho use of money in the canvass Hhould vitiate tho seal of any candidate who may finally bo chosen.

Tha joint convention mot tit noon, with Lieutenant Governor I losklns in the chair, and proceeded to vote for a senator to fill the vacancy caused by tho resignation of Mr. Conkling, with the following result: Wheeler, 10; Conkling, 24; Jacobs, 20; Cornell, lingers. 12; Lapham, Fol- gor, Bradley, Tromaino, -I. No choice. Mr.

Spinola offered a resolution that pairing hereafter shall not bo recognized and no leave of absence shall bo granted. Mr. Husted raised the point of order that tho resolution was not in order, which point was sustained by tho chair, on tho ground that according to the law of congress, tho voting must bo taken for tho other vacancy; after that tho convention could act on tho resolution if they saw fit. Tho convention then proceeded to vote for a senator to fill tho vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Platt, with tho annexed result: Dopow, 80; Kernan, 27; Folger, Platt, 21; Crowley, Lapham, 2.

No choice. Mr, Spinola called up his resolution. Senator Robertson was heartily in favor of so much of tho resolution as refers to not recognizing pairing. After some discussion Mr. Spinola asked that tho matter lie over until to morrow, which was agreed to and the joint convention adjourned.

Suicide In the Woods. NonniHTowN, Juno Wild, a Frenchman, lift.y-four years of ago, was found dead in tho woods near West, Manayunk Station, this county. Sunday morning. A pist'il with three empty chambers was found at his Coroner Akins, of TMdgoport, hold an inquest, when it was discovered that Wild had shot himself in tho mouth, tho ball entering his brain, whom it was found by Dr. P.

Y. Eisenbroy. No other marks of violence wore found on tho body. The Flames. DRTUOIT, Mich Juno village of Ludington, situated on Lake Michigan, at tho terminus of tho Flint and Pore Morquetto Railroad, was visited by a most destructive conflagration on Saturday night, which nearly wiped out tho entire business portion of tho town.

This con- llagration is a terrible blow to this young mill tin- lint In thf- village of Pniidupnrn, hard by the town of Mavatthi. there lived a girl, who by tasting a turtle's egu contracted a great liking for hen's eggs. Tho hen seeing the greedy girl eat ing the egg she laid daily bore a grudgn against her, and strong wish arose within her that in her rebirth she might hecomi! ghoul and eat up tho giiTti offspring. In the course of timo tho hen died and became a cat In tho Synod and same house, and tint girl on her death became a hen in her mother'H house. Whenever the hen laid an egg the cat, out of grudge to her, ate it up.

After this had happened several times, the hen prayed that she might bo so reborn as to bo tiblo to devour tho cat ami all her progeny. The girl dying and leaving the condition of a hen was reborn as a leopard, and the eat in duo timo reappeared as a deer; tho di-er gave birth to a fawn, and the leopard, who still bore her a grudge, ate them both up. In this way, during tho whole course of 500 existences, each of them devoured the other In turn. In their last existence tho girl regained her liu man form and tho cat became a ghoul, and both wore converted by the Buddah's discourse, which was to this effect: No ono must boar a grudge against another, saying, Ho has injured mo, he has beaten, ho has robbed mo, ho haa conquered mo," for if ho does this, hatred will bo repeated successively in future existences; but if no grudgo bo borne, enmity subsides." This round of rebirth often brought about HOIIIO very curious and complicated relations, as in the case of the uncharitable Brahmin who always dined with closed doors and windows, lost ho should bo distui bed by importunate boggars. One day, whim ho was dining, along with his wifo and ohild, off a bowl, Buddha appeared before him as a mendicant, and upbraided him for his inhospitable conduct and with tho family disgrace in which ho was involved.

In a former birth, tho bird, tho Brahmin had just oaton was his father; the little boy, his son, had been a demon and had oaton tho father, and his wife in former clays had boon his mother rary Local News.

Tho building which belonged to Neweoinb, Buchanan contained 10,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco, together with some fine machinery. Tho total loss is estimated vt $40,000.

Dr. Sadtler in behalf of Muhlonberg College presented an additional report, roforring more particularly to tho pros- poets of the institution at the present and more especially tho German Professorship. Thun far $2,200 have been col looted directly by tho ofl'orts of tho German Professor; $1,800 have been transferred; $2,000 is a bequest and private obligation sufficient, to make the entire endowment for the Profossorship up to this time something over $2,200. The candidates and ordained ministers were then introduced to Synod and welcomed by tho President. After a lengthy discussion on tho establishment of a Lutheran printing house, the matter was referred to a committee of flvo to report at tho next annual meeting of the Synod.
