Mobile, Sept. 28. Special. A sad accident occurred this morning at the residence of Mrs. Baarcke, corner of Adams and Jackson streets, by which the was so Horribly burned that it is feared death will ensue.

She was lighting a gasoline stove, when its whole surface blazed np, the flames completely alive before help could be rendered. Three negroes, named Lee Matthews, Sylvester Roche and Henry Johnson, who were arrested yesterday morning on the charge of being drunk, were tried by the mayor and lined $10 each.

The first test was with seven simultaneous streams in close proximity and an eighth of a mite distant, the purpose being to see if there was an equal force of water on Savannah and St. Micheal streets. Chief Sloan ears he could see no difference. The second test was of two Streams from four fire plugs at the several comers of Bienville square, making tight streams in all, and this too was til that was expected or' desired. No due now doubts the ability of the new water works company to supply all the water needed for the use of the city, and the impression is they will work a revolution in the operation of the fire department.

Theresultof his investigations as to the university at Oxford will appear in the next issue of the Clarion and will be followed by letters addressed to the committee relating to the other institutions named.

VICKSBURCL Acting Democrats to be Held to Discipline.

Vicksbcrg, ILiwL, Sept. 28. Special. 1 It has been the political rule here for certain parties to go into the Democratic conventions and nominate men and then secretly and in some instances openly support the independent candidates in opposition to the regular nominees. The party is getting tired of this sort of business, aud to-day the Demo -1 cratic executive committee passed the following resolutions: it i.

Houstox, Sept. 28. Special. The uprising of the negro rioters in the southeastern portion of Matagorda county is at an end temporarily. The Houston Light Guards, under command of Captain F.

A. Reichardt, arrived in Houston at 9:45 to-night. In an interview with the soldiers the following facta, were developed: The Light Guards reached Columbia yesterday afternoon and took the steamer Emily P. for Brazoria where they met the Prairie Guards of Richmond and a company of volunteers from Alvin. While quartered and preparing to advance to the front, Sheriff Hickey of Brazoria county notified the military that their services were not needed on aoconntof the death of Hawkins and four other negro leaders.

Oliver Shepherd, the main instigator of the riot, is described as a mulatto of fair education, a splendid horseman and a dead shot. His scoats, when they saw tbe Light Guard arrive at Brazoria, imagined that they were United States troops and so reported to Shepherd, who advised his followers to disperse, and himself fled the country. It is said he has relatives in this county, and the supposition is that he is heading for. Houston. Officers all along the route ars on the lookout to capture him.

The story of the killing of the negro constable by the whites is thought to be the invention of Shepherd to instigate a rebellion similar to others daring the days of slavery. The first two fights occurred in the cotton and sugar plantations between Caney oreek and Hawkinsville, Matagorda county. The population is aboat five negroes to one white. The disbanding of the negroes is thought to be only temporarily and fears are entertained of another uprising, The sheriff and several posses will remain in that vicinity for several days. Were the negroes to wage war on the settlers unawares, the entire white population would be.masacred in a night.

Two of the seven negro leaders are in prison at Brazoria and nnless properly guarded grave fears are entertained that they will be lynched. Previous to the flight of Shepherd every plantation for twenty miles in the vicinity of the fight was entirely deserted. The whites are desperate and say the next uprising will mean a general slaughter of the rioters, AUSTIN. The Allesed Train Robbers on Trial One ot Them Proves an Alibi A Hotel-Keeper In Debt.

I TiTTlTnT XT I 1 CI I Gladstone's Critique of the History of the Irish. Union. Sir WiUiam Vernon Harcourt De nounces the Government's Course. Emigration of the French. Princes to Rassia Opening of the Papal Jubilee Eecep-tions at the Vatican.

London, Sept. 28. Mr. Gladstone has a critique in the Nineteenth Century on the inglorious history of the Irish union. He says tbe recent work is not history at all.

It offers no inquiry into tbe graver charges against tne an mors of the union, and does not show even rudimentary knowledge of the leading fantanf Irish affairs. Gladstone says he himself, after long striving to obtain an acquaintance with the experience of unhappy Ireland, now knows just enough to be aware mat ms Knowledge ox it is imperfect, and to have an inkling of the magnitude and complexity of the task of the future Thucjdides of the Irish union who have not yet mounted above the horizon. Inquiry into the facts presents unusual difficulties. The records of the Irish government for over thirty years before the nmon are kept secret, there being something approaching systematic extinction of documents by the individuals concerned. The inference is that the history of tbe union is so black that it mast be hidden from the eyes of men.

Gladstone proceeds and shows that the charges of corruption- broueht against Lord Cornwallis are true. Referring to the list of promises to supporters of the union which Lord Cornwallis sent to the duke of Portland, he says The stench of this shameful record is too foul for the public, even after two generations have passed away. Not only corruption but flagrant intimidation and savage repression were used to obtain the union. "Cornwallis declared in July. 1799, that the forces in Ireland sufficed to preserve the peace but not to meet foreign invasion.

What a picture of an nnhappy country! A force of 125,000 men neoessary to keep the peace among a disarmed people of 4,500.000." He contends that the methods taken to nromote the union stoooed the tend ency toward the growth of religious harmony, replaced tnetrrotestant clique in Dower and arrested the (rood disposi tion of the Irish parliament, reversed the balance of strength of the parties by transferring the British and castle influence to the nnion side. In order to sustain this "policy religions passions were let loose: orange- ism was founded to inflame those passions and the party of united Irishmen was driven into disaffection and taught to depend upon foreign aid. Through the continuance of this sys tem a reign of terror was established, and a portion of the people previously distingnisbed for loyalty were driven into rebellion under circumstances which warrant the belief that such rebellion was fostered by the government in order to promote a system of ferocious repression. After the rebellion was repressed came a system of intimidation actively upheld by robbery, devastation, rape, torture and murder, which were practiced continually, the government shielding perpetrators. In conclusion uiadstone argues that the Irish parliament was not oonstitu- tiona ly competent to surrender its power, that the opposition of the conn- tion of 700.0UO.

Irishmen vras never invalidated by subsequent change of national opinion. 81r William Vernon Bareoort Denounces the GoyernmenCs Policy. London. Sent. 28.

The Withdrawal from the Fool of the Southern Pacific Bond. The withdrawal of the Southern Pa-cino Railroad from the Texas Traffic Association at their recent meeting in Texas has not caused any changes in traffio matters thus far, bat when the storm may break and war be declared is believed to be only a question of time. The Southern Pacific Eailroad and connections is a most powerful organization, and has been considered as me backbone of the Texas Traffic Association, which consists of several powerful railway organizations, hence should a war of rates be inaugurated.it would be a most determined and bitter one. Some time ago the Santa Fe Road withdrew from the Texas Traffio Association and the result was that the combination of the roads left in the association opened np a war of rates, which terminated only when the Santa Fe Company came back into the association.

What the result of the withdrawal of the Southern Pacific Company will be will soon become apparent. Connection Made Between Kansas City "-'V and Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala Sept. 28. Special.
