JT. on Saturday ft How She Passed the Fourth at Joliet Penitentiary. Joliet, July 5. The glorious Fourth was celebrated with much spirit by the convicts in the penitentiary. The exercises began at 9 a.

m. in the chapel and consisted of songs, speeches, recitations and music. Afterwards they were given the liberty of east cell-house yard and supplied with all the cigars and lemonade that they could desire. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon the thiity female convicts were brought down from their quarters on the fourth floor of the Warden's house and conducted to the lawn in the eastern part of the grounds. All of them seemed prepared to enjoy themselves, except Dora Henzelman, received several years ago from Peoria, with sentence of sixteen years for the murder of her husband.

Theresa Sturla, the murderess of her lover Stiles, the caller of the Chicago Board of Trade, was the most noticeable figure among the group. Sne was dressed in a neat gingham gown, like all the others, but there was an appearance of neatness about her that was lacking with all the rest Sturla possesses a rich and well cultivated contralto voice and on the request of the matron consented to sing. At first she manifested much reluctance to continue her singing, but after a little hesitation she went on and gave her hearers "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River;" an Italian song "Goodby My Dover, Goodby," "By, Baby, By" and several other songs. She was loudly applauded for her efforts. After a few songs by others of the women, dancing was begun and ail joined the figures except Sturla, who declined to take part The entertainment was witnessed by a numoer of outsiders.

9 817, S19, S21 Fifth Between Franklin Av. and Union Market. Delegates Make Speeches in Which Railroads and. Other Monopolies are Bitterly Attacked Preparing the Platform To-Day's Proceedings. Chicago, July 5.

The national anti-monopoly convention was called to order in McCormack's hall by Edwin Lee Brown at at 10:45 o'clock yesterday morning. He said that the principles upon which the convention was to deliberate were the following To labor to restrict corporations in their greed, preserve public lands for actual settlers, battle for an equity of rights, organize a new paity, and favor the election of United States president by a direct vote of the citizens, W. Root, of Nebraska, was elected temporary chairman; C. C. Post, editor of the Chicaeo Express, temporary secretary; J.

R. Buchanan, of Colorado, assistant secretary. After some further routine business the convention adjourned until 2:30 o'clock. At the afternoon session G. S.

Reynolds, chairman of the committee on credentials, presented a report showing that California had five duly accredited delegates, Colorado 1, Dakota 2, the District of Columbia 2, Riinois 67, Indiana 13, Iowa 13, Kentucky 1, Kansas 17, Missouri 7, Michigan 38, Maryland 2. Minnesota 2, Nebraska 12, New Hampshire 2, New York 35, Ohio 5, West Virginia 1, and Wisconsin 124. Dennis Kearney and his lieutenant, Stephen May-bell, insisted that they should be allowed to take seats as additional delegates from California. A heated wrangle followed. Mr.

Barr of Chicago ottered a resolution recommending that the report be recommitted, with instructions that the names of Kearney and Maybell be added to the California delegation. Reynolds, chairman of the California delegation, stated that the papers of Kearney and Maybell were fraudulent, and that he would resign If the motion was adopted. A tempestuous scene followed immediately. Secretary Post read a letter, signed by George Houston, chairman of the California provisional organization, denouncing Kearney and Maybe.lt saying that-Kearney was in the pay of the Central and Southern Pacific railroads to do their dirty political work. On motion of Mose Hull, of Pennsylvania.

Kearney was given an opportunity to reply. He said that it was'not true that he and Maybell were seli-appointed delegates, but that there were 2.000 people at the meeting which elected him and Maybell delegates. It was not true that he sold out the workingmen he has never opposed the reduction of railway fares Killed a Young GlrL Erie, July 5. Albert Kuhn, while riding on a street car yesterday afternoon, recklessly fired a pistol from the window and instantly killed Miss Mary Steiner. Frank Kuhn, Albert's brother, committed suicide at night DETAILS.

Two brothers named Kuhn, clerks In a store, were riding in a street car, both bein intoxicated. The younger, Albert, fired a revolver out of the window, and a little girl, nine years old, named Steiner, playing on the sidewalk in front of her parents' residence, was shot through the heart. After Albert was placed in the police station, his brother Frank went into the cell and had a long talk with the murderer, but nothing known of the conversation. Leaving Alliert he went over on the West Sido to see a young lady who was engaged to be married to him. She was visiting his sister-in-law and he bade them good-bye, shaking hands with both ladies and saying they would never sea him again.

He was excited, said his brother had committed an awful deed and he was going to hang himself. Both the ladies supposed he was joking, and his sister-in-law offered to LEND HIM A ROPE. An hour afterward he was found -in tha basement of the store where ho clerked, hanging to a beam and dead. Another brother. George, took a horse aud bujigy to drive into the country to tell his father of the double tragedy.

The nisrht was dark and he drove off an embankment wrecking the carriage and narrowly escaping. The child shot was distantly related to tho murderer, and it is supposed he lired the revolver merely to frighten her. He claims he thought it was loaded with blank cartridges. Frank was greatly excited over the shooting, and being under the intluence of drink and thinking his brother would be convicted and hung, it is supposed his mind became unbalanced and he hung himself while in thai state ot mind. Both coroners' juries have adjourned to subpoena additional witnesses.

A WARM CONTROVERSY. Editor Knott, of the Texas Sittings, to Fight 31 r. Sheehan. New York, July 5. A rumor was current up town last night that a southern editor, now stopping in this city.was to fight a most sanguinary duel to-day.

The facts in the case, as stated by interested parties, are as follows Mr, John A. Knott editor of tha Texas Sif tings, and Mr. T. B. Sheehan, a sculptor at No.

842 Broadway and several other gentlemen, among whom were H. F. Mc-Dermott, John Hamilton, and James Roach, were dining on Fourteenth street Tuesday evening. After dinner; the party went to Mr. Sheehan's studio, where all engaged in talk on current polities, and finally Mr.

Sheehan and Mr. Knott settled down into a dispute on the rights of the negro. The discussion grew warm, and it is said Mr. Sheehan coupled the words "Texans and horse-thieves, and that immediately after Mr. Knott called Mr.

Sheehan a hard aame. Then both rose excitedly to their feet and challenged each other to fight a duel. Mr. Knott went to the Union Square hotel with Mr. Mc-Dermott, whom he had retained as his second.

The latter finally went in SEARCH OF MB. SHEEHAN yesterday, and found him on Fourteenth street. He delivered a note from Mr. Knott, in which the latter offered to meet Mr. Sheehan when and where that gentleman desired, but suggested an apology.

In answer to this note Mr. Sheehan said he would never retract, aud requested Mr. Knott to name time and place. Mr. Roach was with Mr.

Sheehan when this answer was seut to the editor, and endeavored to keep him from answering the note, and sought to have matters amicably arranged. Mr. Sheehan would not, so it is said, be dissuaded, however, and as Mr. Roach was pressing his opinion and wanting Mr. Sheehan not to fight, the latter at once discharged Mr.

Roach from the position of second and ELEVATED MR, THOMAS STETJT to the vacancy. Mr. McDermott and Mr. Knott held a long interview after Mr. Sheehan seut his request for the editor to fix the time and place, and then Mr.

McDermott went to see Mr.Sheehan's second.and late last night it was decided that at 11 o'clock, this day, at Weehawken.the Texas editor and the New York sculptor 6liould settle their difficulties. At a late hour last night Mr.Sheehan had not returned. Mr. Knott had not been seen in the city since morning. Notwithstanding the publicity given to the matter by the persons interested, no report of the intended letting of blood had been received at police headquarters last night.

OFF FOR THIS FIELD. New York. July 5. CoL J.Amoy Knott, of the Texas Sif tings, and one of the principals in the impending duel, left town at 6 :30 a. accompanied by his second.

H. F. McDermott. He left word with the clerk of the hotel that he would be gone until tomorrow. Nothing could be learned in regard to the whereabouts D.

B. Sheehan. He is supposed to be in Jersey. It is probable the meeting may take place to-day in the vicinity of Uobonen. St.

Maktins, July 5. Archbishop Purcell died at 11.45 a. yesterday. The Her. John Baptist Purcell was a native of Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, where he was born February 26, 1800.

Eighteen years later he came to America and worked as a private tutor in East Maryland for two years, after which he served as a student and teacher at Mount St. Mary's college, near Emmitsbursc, and at the age of twenty-three received the four minor orders from Archbishop Marechal. Having completed his studies at the seminaryif St Sulpice in Paris, he was ordained a priest in 1826, and returned to America, becoming professor of philosophy in Mount St. Mary's college. At the age of thirty-three he was chosen Bishop of Cincinnati, succeeding the Eight Rev.

Bishop Edward. Fenwick. After taking part in the second provincial council of Baltimore, he went to Cincinnati, at which time that diocese had only one church and was in anything but a flourishing condition. Under his able administration the condition of the diocese was greatly improved. In 1850 he was appointed archbishop and from that time on the diocese grew rapidly, over thirty-live churches having been erected in it and a number of nourishing ecclesiastical institutions established.

During the war of the rebellion the archbishop was a staunch supporter of the Union. The financial troubles which darkened the later years of the prelate's life are too well known to require lengthy ailusion. The archbishop stated that he had never received for his own use a cent of the money deposited, which amounted to 3,672,371 57. In 1880 Bishop W. H.

Elder, of Natchez, was appointed coadjutor and took charge of the diocese. Shortly afterwards the archbishop and his brother went to live on a private property adjoining the Ursuline convent at St. Martin's, where, in December, 18fc0, the brother died, and the shock which this event caused to the archbishop hastened the death of the latter. PARTICULARS OF HIS DEATH. Cincinnati, July 5.

Bishop Elder arrived to-day from the death-bed of Archbishop Purcell. The reaction of yesterday was slight, but Kev. Dr. Caliaghan, the faithful secretary of the archbishop, who was constantly by his side, was greatly rejoiced at the signs of returning consciousness. They did not include the power to converse, as the archbishop's tongue had been stilled by paralysis.

He was able, however, to give some tokens of recognition to nis friends. His death at last was peaceful and apparently without physical pain. TINNERS' STOCKOF ALL KINDS FOK SALE BY EXCELSIOR MANUFACTURING CO. and freight but wanted the rates based on Bishop McLaren Criticizes Rev. Arthur Ritchie's Ritual.

Chicago, July 5. Bishop McLaren, of the Episcopal diocese of Chicago, has addressed a letter to the parish ot the Church of the Ascension, in this city, presided over by Rev Arthur Ritchie, in answer to one sent him one week ago. The controversy had arisen over the high ritual observed by the pastor of the Ascension, and which apparently induced the bishop at a late diocesan convention to announce his views upon the matter. Rev. Ritchie recently tendered his resignation and a letter from the parish to the bishop urged him not to accept it, and in addition proceeded to discuss the question of ritual.

The bishop responds in a mild tone and expresses affectionate solicitude for botn the pastor and the parish, but asserts that the order of solemn mass, when there Is no communion of the people, -as printed and used at the Church of theAscen-sion, is not the order for the administration of the Lord's supper or the holy communion, as set forth in the book of common prayer. It is doctrinaily and liturgically a different service, says the bishop, and no priest Roman, Greek or Anglican save Mr. Ritchie celebrates tha eucharist by means of such an office. The bishop asserts he has no prejudice against a lawful ritual of an ornate character and has no sympathy with that kind of Control which seeks to regulate every detail of a clergyman's work, but he cannot make a compromise with law-breaking which is apparently the case in this instance. It is thought the controversy will result In an attempt to reform the new church, observing an extreme ritual.

He was born March 8, 1833, in Ballinahinch, County Down, Ireland, and came to America with his family four years later. In 1852 he graduated from St.

At length Kearney was forced to retire from the platform, and toe motion to reject Kearney and Maybell's application to be allowed to sit in the convention was carried by a vote of 118 to 64, many of the delegates not voting.

Little progress was made this morning at the national conference of anti-monopolists. The proceedings were marked by good order, all present being recognized as delegates. The committee on resolutions was not ready to report, and the interim was filled with speeches on the advisability of organizing a new party and the stand -it should take on the tariff. Letters of encouragement from the anti-monopoly bodies of Oreg on and New Jersey were read to the convention espousing the objects for which the assemblage had been called. Mr.

Brand, a delegate from Nebraska, while in favor of free trade, was willing to put the question aside provided the platform contemplated the suppression of all kinds of monopoly, and particularly railroad monopoly. Samuel Crocker of Iowa characterized tiie present tariff system as a scheme of robbery, and he asserted that the delegates from his state were not present to keep quiet on questions which involved the robbery of the former class. Sir. Wolff of New York urged the convention to confine itself to the question of anti-monopoly, and not to attempt to organize a new party until it had a million votes at its back. Mr.

Lamb of Kansas said the conven. tion had been called to organize a new party, and it was bound to abide by tins resolve. Kansas had the -nucleus ready for a new party. Wm. Dodga of the District of Columbia made a speech at the railroad companies of the country, claiming they had robbed people of two hundred millions of acres of the public domain.

Ex-Congressman De La Matyr of Indiana discussed the greenback question and stated that in his beiief the country was ripe for the organization of a new party directed against monopolies. He declared that in a nation where the average salary of the working people was $3oo a year and another class had incomes ranging from 100,000 to $1,000,000 annually, there was every prospect of revolution. Rev. R. He-ber, Newton and A.

In July, 1881, Dr. McMuIlen was appointed to the see of Davenport, of which he took charge July 30, inaugurating an energetic and successful administration.

A Pugilist Knocked Out, Remaining Insensible for Twenty Minutes. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, July 5. About an hour's journey into Long Island, going Flushing-ward, is a small roadside inn made memorable by many contests between game fowls, dogs and sometimes men. Here it was that a crowd of about 150 sports assembled to witness a fight with small hard gloves between Ed.

McDonald, of Brooklyn, and Thomas Rose, of New York. The stake at issue was a 100 purse, and both men had trained as assiduously for this event as though thousands of dollars were at stake. The ring in which the contest took place was of the orthodox style and of the full size. McDonald was looked af te by Benny Greene and Bob Mace, while Rose had as his esquires Bob Turnbull and a friend; Billy O'Brien acted as referee. Round 1: Altera little sparring for an opening McDonald led off with a left-hander and the pair soon worked lo half-arm work, McDonald having a little the best of the exchange.although Rose hit him often and heavy, too.

The affair was under the Marquis of Queensbury rules, which call for THBEE MINUTES FIGHTING and a minute's rest. Round Rose tried to take the lead, but his blows either fell short or lacked steam, and he invariably got a hot counter for his temerity in trying to land his left hand. At close quarters he showed to much better advantage. The round closed in favor of McDonald. Round 3: This time McDonald rattled away with both hands, and punished his antagonist pretty badly.

The iatter, however, fought as gamely as possible, but he was clearly overmatched, and McDonald landed left and right just when he wanted to. Kose was weak when time was called. Round 4: To the surprise of all Rose tried to take the lead, but he was too BADLY PUNISHED. Besides, his antagonist seemed to be in much better condition. The round was closed by McDonald planting both left and right on each side of his opponent's head, sending him down in a heap.

Round 5 and last: No sooner had the combatants faced each other than McDonald landed his left on the face, and, swinging his right hand with telling effect on the point of the jaw, knocked Rose off his feet and insensible. This of course won the battle for McDonald in 17 minutes and 50 seconds. It took just twenty minutes to bring Rose to, and even then he asked for another trial. This his backers will give him at some future date. gave way under the hard labor, and it be clfifiMa NONEGENUlNEl WsleiAsuPERiORFORCoA OnePound unless EEARIN3 himwiM to Vt1 OL'RTRADEMARK boneless CONTAIN NOTHJNE PLEDCoCooOMELEd THROUGH CHTHE IT- CDD FISE LVmlnv ANDCHEAJt LINES, hMISKjCOMPRESSED cao came necessary for him to make a tnn to Lower California, which, however, did not give mm permanent Denent.

Goshen, N. July 5. A shocking accident, which resulted in the death of Frances Quackenbush, a little girl of nine years, occurred at Bellvale a few days ago. The girl had been playing about P. E.

Sanford's mill. Suddenly her dress caught in the cog wheels of a revolving shaft and in an instant she was drawn in with it.

By Telegraph to the Fost-Dis patch. Lono Branch, July 5. Twenty thousand persons visited here yesterday. The great attraction was Mrs. Langtry bathing.

That lady, accompanied by Mr. Freddie Geb-hardt, arrived from Coney island by the 2:15 p. m. train. A great number of persons witnessed her feats in the water.

She emerged from her bathing-room dressed in an olivette bathing costume of blue flannel trimmed with red. Mrs. Langtry swims with a chest stroke, taking long strokes. The crowd frequently applauded her, to which the lady, smiling, responded by swimming under water and doing various little oddities. Freddie stood looking on from the bluff.

He was dressed in a duck suit, white muslin cravat and straw hat lie seemed to enjoy the applause immensely, and was by no means sparing of it himself. The full perfection of Mrs. Langtry's figure was seen at its best In the new role she assumed as one of thegoddesses of the sea. Her motions were easy and graceful. Altogether she was perhaps three-quarters of an hour in the water.
