It is T. B. McUuire and John Garrett that defeated Morrison in Illinois. Morrison said, 'damn the eight hour and the expression lost him his seat" The discussion ran along in this vein for hours, nearly every delegate and member of the executive board having something to say. At times the uproar was deafening.

General Secretary Litchman made a speech, defended the administration of his office at length, and several delegates charged that the general administration wag honeycombed with mismanagement When dusk approached there were loud calls for a vote and it was claimed that the administration was staving off an expression of opinion because it knew that several delegates were compelled to leave on the night trains. Finally, however, the debate was adjourned until Monday and the tired and perspiring delegates filed from the ball. A paper-was put in circulation this evening, and it is claimed has received tbe signatures of thirty delegates, which pledges the signers, in the event of the administration carrying the day, to attend a conference to be called some time next month.

Springfield, Oct 15.

George Sad Life History of a Beautiful Brooklyn Girl. Brooklyn Times. In a little white frame cottage on Liberty avenue, near Wyckoff street, in the town of New Lots, twenty-seven years ago, lived Louis Hart and his wife, Catharine. They had four remarkably pretty children. Three were boys, and the other, the youngest.

Marguerite, was a beautiful little girl but eighteen months old. She, of course, was tbe pet of the family. The father of this interesting family was a hard working man, and earned but small wages, barely sufficient to supply the necessaries of life. In addition to this he was affected with lung trouble. He was a brush niakerby trade.

Next door to the Harts lived a middle aged gentleman by the name of Edward Wilder. This Wilder was a rich man. His east New York residence he occupied only a few months in summer. His winter quarters were in New York city, not far from Fifth avenue. He formerly had a butcher stand in Washington market, where after years of patient labor he amassed a competence.

He then retired from business. Some lucky investments in real estate made him a millionaire. Mr. Wilder, although passionately fond of children, had no little ones of his own. He often called upon the Hart family, and admired the little Marguerite.

He had noticed the struggles of the head of the family to keep the wolf from tbe door, and observed with sorrow that the poor man's strength was unequal to the tasks imposed upon it The baby antics of the little Marguerite had also worked-upon his affections and a great love for the little one arose in his heart One day Mr. Hart returntd from his work sick in body and mind. Destitution staring him in the face. His rich neighbor's sympathy was aroused, and calling upon Mr. ilder, the latter made a proposition to him.

He stated how he had become attached to bttle Marguerite; how he had noticed their circumstances and wound up by offering to adop the little one. The poor man could not bring himself at once to let the child go and s.ked for time to consider the matter. But Mr. Wilder had set his heart on gaining possession of tbe little one and offered to settle an annuity upon the boys if his proposition were accepted. He also offered ot divide between the boys a valuable plot of land lying in tbe northern part of New York state.

He stipulated that when he should once have possession of the child it should never again be reclaimed by its parents under any circumstances, and that Marguerite should never be made acquainted with the fact that he was other than her own father. Quite an affecting scene ensued. The parents did not want to iet the child go, but at last came to the conclusion that it was the best thing under the circumstances, and gave the child into Mr. Wilder's keeping. Mr.

Wilder immediately took Marguarite to his New York establishment and she grew up to be a very beautiful young woman, admired by alL She was of the blonde tvpe, with deep blue eyes and golden hair and skin like alabaster. Her figure was superb. She was the belle of her set and many were her suitors. But she had not as yet met her affinity. In the summer of 1SS3 her father took her to Newport, where she was the acknowledged belle.

It was generally known thot she was an neiress, and that with her beauty, brought many suitors to her feet Among them wa3 a handsome young lieutenant of the United States navy. He was a young man with many virtues and but few faults. He was a frequent attendant at divine services. They met at church. A mutual raciprocation sprang up between the young people and they were often seen upon the sands of Newjiort enjoying one another's society.

They were "a handsome couple, admired by all but envied by none. Society began to whisper that it was a match. Society for once was right The friendship of the young couple in course of time ripened into a warmer feeling, and one beautiful moonlight night the young man rose to the occasion and tbe inevitable "proposal" was made. Marguerite had been expecting it for some time, but, like a dutiful daughter, asked for time to consider her answer, and in the meantime referred the whole matter to her father. Her reasons for so doing were that she was an heiress and he was comparatively poor.

People would look upon this as a misalliance. She was not sure but that her supposed father might also. Mr. Wilder listened attentively to Marguerite's story, and at the conclusion he smiled, and, clapping her to his bosom, kissed her, at the same time assuring her that if he found the young man's character and antecedents to be satisfactory, his poverty need be no bar to the consummation of their happiness. That same day Mr.

Wilder went out and did not return until late. He appeared to be uepresseu ana went to oea w-itnout saying a word. The next day at the breakfast table he proposed to his little family that thy take a trip to Europe. Marguerite had noticed his altered manner, and when this proposition was made she understood it as meaning that her father would not give his consent to her marriage, and her heart failed her for the moment There was soinetning wrongv She asked him for his answer. Mr.

Wilder evaded her question as long as he could, but when she stated that if she did not get his consent to their union she would leave her supposed parents and go to her lover, the oid man was obliged to divulge the secret of years, and informed her that the man she loved was her own brother, Frederick Hart The poor girl fainted. When she came to she was delirious. She was removed to her bed, where she remained for several weeks, and when she arose it was seen that her brain was seriously affected. Her lovers name was constantly on her lips. When Mr.

Wilder started out to inquire into the young man's character and found that he was none other than his adopted daughter's own brother, Fred Hart he was stunned. The young "man was made acquainted with the fact of his relationship and took it to heart A few days afterward his body was found in the river. After Marguerite had recovered sufficiently to hear the news her adopted parents told her of the death of her lover. She became affected with melancholia and has gradually grown worse, until now it is thought necessary to place her in some institution where she will receive proper treatment and possibly recover. With that end in view Mr.

Wilder visited a well known medical expert in this city yesterday and arrangements were made for placing her in a private institution in this county. Music or No Music Toledo Blade-Study your child with reference solely to herself, her own capabilities, her own powers, and without regard to your wishes and ambitions. If she have a taste for music and it is 'easy enough to discover whether she has or not then do your utmost to have her learn it thoroughly. Besides acquiring an accomplishment that, if necessary, will bring her bread, beside possessing a power that will draw the pleasant thoughts of those around to her by the delight she is thus able to give, she will have what will be to herself a perennial spring of happiness. No matter if the sometimes grows weary with the drudgery of acquirement and young girls with bright gifts in this direction sometimes do hold her to her tasks.

She will thank you by and by. If, on the other hand, she cares nothing for this glorious art, if at all times she sees only the labor and never the reward, if she has little or no conception of tbe meaning of music, then your time, your efforts and your money are foolishly bestowed. Better far teach her how to make good bread, for that is something which will be of use so long as she lives. Yet there may be some other taste that cultivated will bring you pride and satisfaction. Though she cannot be a a good musician she may be able to draw or paint welL Perhaps she can write so that the public will rejoice in what she may give them.

If she have none of these gifts, then be content to make ber a cultivated, in tell l- fent woman, who will do her part well in ife, whatever that may be. If not so brilliant as to win racial distinction, or tbe world's applause, she may satisfy the heart ten thousand times more and bring to your loving heart far greater happiness.

Demands ef Got. Ogleaby That Be Set Him at Liberty A California Sensation. Ciscikkati, Oct 15. At 12:45 this afternoon an alarm of fire wai sounded from box 158, which was immediately followed by a second and third. Before the full relay ot engines had arrived, the blaze had assumed the importance of a coniagration.

The fire originated in an old, unused chute that came down near the furnace of the saw mill of Calvin. Crane at 735 Eastern avenue. The chute was filled with combustible material and tbe employes being at dinner did not notice the fire until it had spread to the upper part of the mill building, and from there communicated at once to the lumber yard and dwelling houses in that neighborhood, with remarkable celerity. The flames devoured tie millions of feet ot lumber, then attacked back's saw mill, wiping it out like a flash. Still unsatisfied, the fire leaped npon the frame dwellings adjacent and one after another, ai if they were paper, swept them out of existence.

Tbe terrified people frantically piled their effects into the streets on the hillsides anywhere that seemed to oler a place of safety. Children set up their cries of fear and women fainted. Strong men became weak and only the fire seemed to systematically perform is work. The fire department exerted its utmost efforts to stay tlie racing element, but for hours without tbe least perceptible effect The area covered was extensive and the water supply limited. Tbe burned district was the block bounded by Bayou and Lumber streets.

Eastern avenue and the Ohio river in the extreme eastern part of the city. Besides tbe saw mills and lumber yanls, eleven dwelling houses and a livery stable were totally destroyed. The St." Rosa Catholic church and parsonage was damaged to the extent of $5,000. Nearly filty persons were made homeless by tbe conflagration. At 2:30 the wind changed and blew towards the west, and this alone prevented the spread of the flamea.

At 3 o'clock tbe fire was under control. Fifteen structures were burned as follows: Crane's saw mill and lumber yard, loss the residence of Sam Furst, loss 3,500: John Kramer's residence, fM.OOU, and his livery barn, Jacob Gardner's residence and two stables, $3,500, Lewis Glenn's two story tenement house, fS.OUO: saloon and tenement bouse of Joseph Blassing, Jamee Ferguson's fine residence, Charles H.

A renomination by acclamation was this afternoon tendered Judge Gary of the anarchist trial fame by tbe silk-stocking, or Goody-Green wing of tbe democratic party in Chicago.

of L. The Anti-Powderlj Delegates Make a Fierce Fight on the General Master Workman. 1 Barry and Bailey.the Obnoxious Members of the Executive Board, Lead tbe Assault Without Reaching; a Test of Strength the Convention Adjourns Till Monday Careful Observers Place orderly's Strength at Thirty Majority In the Assembly Much Interest Taken In the Impending Tote. i Minneapolis, 15. The report that General Master Workman Powder ly had resigned at 12:30 this morning created a genuine surprise.

It was not generally believed. Powderly was seen early this morning. He emphatically denied having written his resignation. Regarding the lack of harmony among the members of the executive board, which had been given out as the cause of this alleged resignation, Powderly refused to express himself. Although the press committee Would make no report this noon, it is learned that the general assembly spent the forenoon in red hot discussion over the resolution introduced last night, changing the manner of appointing the executive board, which was for the purpose of getting away with Barry and Bailey.

It is understood that no decision has yet been reached. Since the convention opened Barry and Bailey have been known to advocate every measure presented by the "antis.P This has been strikingly true of Barry. He took issue against the administration when the anarchist question was being discussed, and made a sensational speech supporting the resolution that the general assembly protest He also advocated the side of the "antis" in tbe fight over the Chicago stock yards matter. In each case the "antis" were defeated by a heavy vote. It is asserted that Barry has been making a fight on personal grounds.

There is no doubt he and Bailey have many warm personal friends among the delegates and that they have been working hard to gain more. They knew the fight was to be made to get rid of them in the present convention and they have been making preparations for it, but none too soon. It is now on and bitter it promises to be. There seems to be little doubt that the "antis" will be routed. For nearly ten hours, barring a brief intermission for lunch, the general assembly of Knights of Labor was in the most secret of all its conclaves an executive session.

The subject under consideration was the proposition introduced last night nominally under the auspices of the committee on laws, but in reality emanating from a Philadelphia assembly, in close sympathy with the administration, and which not only reduces the membership of the executive board from six to four, but confers upon the general master workman the power of selecting the membership of that body. The friends of T. B. Barry of Michigan, and Bailey, tbe Ohio miners' champion, saw in this proposition an attack upon themselves and resolved to fight it to the bitter end. The result was that the proceedings of the day were the most sensational and noisy that have ever transpired in any previous session of the general assembly since the order was brought into existence.

The anti-administration men started off the fight today by renewing the charge that the proposition was aimed at the two "B's" and delegate A. M. Dewey of Detroit was called upon to explain the report that lie bad said certain things derogatory to those gentlemen, both in Chicago and this" city. In response Dewey said tliat without mentioning names he had made the statement that it would be for the best Interest of the order for two members of the executive board to be retired at once. Barry flung the lie into Dewey's teeth by stating that he had named him (Barry) as one of the two.

From this time on the debate waxed hot and furious. At last Barry obtained the floor and made a vehement defense. He said it was sought to down him because he, from the time that he had entered the executive board, had set his face against the financial manage ment, something sunn to Doodlerism which prevailed at headquarters. Then he went to give details. He said that a certain master workman of New York, naming Thomas O'Reilly, who had been appointed an organizer, ana naa Drought only five assemDlies into existence during the year while he permitted the previous membership to fall away, had been paid $1,250 without authority, and that Powderly had promised that'the money should be refunded.

Powderly, interrupting, said that be had made the motion to refund the money himself. Resuming, Barry said that this was a virtual addition that he considered it illegal. He charged that General Secretary Litchnian had discharged clerks in the office without notice or reason, in spite of his (Barry's) demand that no person should be discharged -except for cause. Then there was the case of a Miss Rvan who was employed in the office in spite of the fact that she refused to affiliate with the order on the ground that "the women of the order were not proper associates for her. Continuing, he charged that the general executive board employed a lady telegraph operator in the office who was not a member of the order, on the ground that she had given valuable information during the southwestern strike.

The present stenographer, he said, was not a member until he and Bailey protested, whereupon she was proposed and balloted for and elected the same night by Litcbman, O'Reilly and Eayes, despite the fact that the constitution said that nb person should be balloted for and initiated the same night i 1 He then attacked the general executive board for bringing female employes to' the city and boarding them at the leading hotels at considerable outlay, and read an affidavit from a former stenographer of the board, detailing alleged trickery resorted to by several of its members and employes to work up sentiment against himself and Bailey. "It has gone around the country charging that I am an anarchist," said the excited speaker. i "I have said so only once, and that in a meeting of the board," shouted Hayes. "Now I sav so again." "It is a lie," responded-Barry. am as loyal a son of this republic as any an upon this floor.

No man can call me an anarchist upon the outside." Resuming, he said that in the face of tbe I falling off in membership the expenses of the general offices had doubled during tbe past year while only half the work of the previous one had been done. Barry went on this strain at length, and at one stage advancing to the table he shook bis fist and exclaimed to Powderly, "Presently, when you get into a sentimental mood you will stand up here with tears in your eyes and offer your resignation. Don't go too far. I warn you that this assembly is in no mood to entertain the one man idea. It wants no king and will have none." This was greeted with applause and hisses.

At another stage he charged a delegate with having declared that he and Bailey wouldhave to go, and the delegate rising to his feet denied the impeachment "You did," "you did," "you said it to us," yelled a half dozen delegates in chorus. After Barry had concluded, Hayes took the floor and made a long speech in self defense. He 'said that be had broken up his business by his devotion to the order, and had gone to Powderly and given in his resignation, "Mr. Powderly said," continued Hayes, "if you go I will go to. Good God, I replied, if you and I would go, what would become of the order?" i This was greeted with roars of laughter on the part of the anU-admimstra-tionists.

Resuming, he explained the charge' that he had boarded his family at a hotel in Philadelphia at the expense of the order, saying that he did so in order that himself and Powderly might remain on the board and save the organization. Several delegates asked him if he had not spent a considerable portion of his time in political work in New Jersey. He replied in the affirmative, and said that but for the traitor like work of the labor members from Patterson he would have dictated the United States senator. I Another delegate asked him if he had gone Memphis and Nashville Welcome tie President's Party. A.

Gloom Cast Orer the Occasion by the Sad and Sadden Death of Judge 1 Ellett of Memphis. Immediately After His Address of Welcome He Sinks Unconscious Into His Chair An Eloquent Address Responded to by the President Briefly The Status of the Sooth the Leading Theme At Nashville the Party Proceed Immediately to the Homes of Prominent Citizens. Where the Sabbath Will be Spent. Tobmphis, Oct 15. Judge H.

T. Ellett, who made the welcoming address to President Cleveland here this morning, died on the stand before the ceremonies were over. The tragic Incident occurred just as Presi-ient Cleveland closed his remarks in response to the judge's welcome. Though the day waa not uncomfortably warm, the spot in the center of the court square where the rpeaker's stand had been erected was an exposed one and Judge Ellett, who stood for a time with his hat off as the- president was- speaking, sat down and was soon overcome with the heat Dr. Bryant of the presidential party took the direction of affairs and remained with the unfortunate gentleman while the president was escorted to the cotton and merchants' exchange.

Judge Ellett died just five minutes after the president left the reviewing stand. The fact has 10 far been kept from the president. Judge Ellett was a man of high local repute. His speech, which was not' for Memphis alone but for the whole south, was a memorable one. President Cleveland's response was no less notable.

The other aspects of the occasion had combined to make the affair extraordinary in all respects. The decorations visible everywhere were more elaborate and general than those of any place visited by the president, with the possible exception of and it was remarked that twice as many people were on the streets as had ever been seen in Memphis. When Judge Ellett sank into his chair in a fainting condition, some confusion ensued. Dr. Bryant, assisted by Postmaster General Vilas and CoL Robert F.

Looney, caught him as he was falling. Several gentlemen of the entertainment committee aided in the efforts to restore him, as did also some of the ladies. Dr. Kennedy Jones came to tbe assistance of Dr. Bryant and the two worked with the prostrate form but without avail.

President Cleveland, who bad just finished his address, stood looking at the efforts being made to restore the venerable jurist with a sad and sympathetic countenance, while Mrs. Cleveland seemed deeply affected. The presidential party had left the platform before Dr. Bryant arose from over the body and said to an acquaintance, "Let us join the president's party." In answer to inquiries as to what was the matter with Judge Ellett, Dr. Bryant answered: "He fainted and has not recovered consciousness." This was said to dispel the shadow of doom that might otherwise have been cast upon the festivities.

The immense multitude did not know that death had come among them and rushed after the president to the exposition, leaving toa few friends the sad duty of conveying the lifeless remains of the venerable judge to his home. In his speech welcoming the president. Judge Ellett, referring to the celebration of the huntrrethj anniversary of the formation of the constitution of the United Statrs in which the president bad participated, said that the southern heart was in full sympathy with that interesting occasion and that no where in ail this broad land will yon find more loyalty to the constitution, and to the government created by it, than among the people of the southern states." Speaking of tbe war and its results. Judge Ellett raid: "The southern people have bowed to the stern logic of events until they have in a frank and manly way accepted the result of the struggle as a final settlement of all questions in dispute, and they have since labored with rare courage, fortitude and cheerfulness to accommodate themselves to their new condition, to resonstruct their broken fortunes and to contribute as far as possible to the general prosperity and happiness of the whole country." In responding to Judge Ellett's address the president said: "The patriotic sentiment expressed in your behalf by your honored fellow citizen in his address of welcome; I am wire 1 may say will be graciously responded to by your countrymen of the north. They want, I believe, rest from sectional bitterness, and they know the prosperity of the country is only to be achieved by true union in sentiment aVid feeling as well as In name.

The business interests of the peo- Ele are too alert and intelligent to be sacri-ced or injured by selfish appeals to passion which should be allayed. They only insist that all the results of the arbitration of arms to which reference has been made shall be fully retained and enforced." After leaving the stand the president drove to the ootton exchange where a reception" to the public was held for an hour. The President and Mrs. Cleveland were assisted by Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas.

From the exchange the party was escorted to their train and at 1 o'clock left for Nashville. AT BARTLETN. Bartlett, Oct. 15. The presidential train was on time at this point.

Tbe president was greatly shocked at the death of Judge Ellett, which has just been conveyed to him. He expressed the wannest sympathy for the bereaved family. Dr. Bryant says he found no signs of life when he reached the unfortunate man side, out said notning un til he wsj relieved a few minutes later by the local physicians, to whom he said that the judge was dead. A STOP FOR SUXDAY.

Nashville, Oct 15. At McKenzie the presidential train was shifted from the tracks of the Louisville Nashville to those of the Nashville, Chatanooea tSt. Louis railroad While the change whs being made the president, Mrs. Cleveland and Postmaster General Vilas alighted from the train and being escorted to a platform adjoining the station proceeded to shake hands with as many persons as tliey could do aunng toe stop. uenerai Manager 1 nomas, with his special car, a wanted the switching of the president's train, and as soon as it was connected gave the signal to tart.

The French military scandal oecupies the attention of both public and official circles. It is impossible to deny that the revelation gratifies German sentiment toward France, chiefly because of the disclosures of internal disorders and of corruption and discord in places which helps to thwart revanchist designs and even tend toward abating the revanche rancors. Gen. Boulanger's conduct is especially condemned by the whole press, whose opinion is practically unanimous that he has irreparably injured himself. This consciousness of newspaper opinion is not quite shared by official circles, where the resurgance of Bou-langer an a military leader of the radicals and revanchists is predicted as tbe certain ultimate issue of warfare of parties.

Gen. Boulanger's innocence of anything but an indiscretion is accepted here as unassailable. Another noteworthy aspect of German feeling is the tendency of sympathy for the French people. The Vosxiche Zeitung claims for the French as national qualities, morality, sobriety and industry, and says it would be unjust to hold them responsible for vicious social excrescences. The relations between Germany and Russia are becoming more embittered.

No mask is now worn on either side. The press of St Petersburg and Moscow is now permitted to indulge in its natural disposition to abuse Germans. The inspired press here is not backward in responding in kind. Diplomatic intercourse between the two governments is limited to unavoidable com munications. DEPEW MISQUOTED.

Jay Gould and several others to belittle the prosperity of the country and npset things generally "That is all nonsense. In the first place I will explain that I find no fault with the papers for printing the interview where I spoke of the real estate and financial condition of the country generally. But I wish to say that the newspaper correspondents failed to catch my meaning and considerable mischief has been done in consequence." Mr.

Depew, in talking of the roads over which the party bad travelled, said: "AU the roads are doing a.flne business. Dividends are assured. Mr. Vanderbilt and the other gentlemen who accompanied me on the western trip were greatly pleased with almost everything they saw. There are certainly no indications of a great financial crisis.

The general outlook is good. People who own standard railroad stock will do well to hold fast to them." Alluding to real estate, the railroad magnate said: "While I deeply deprecate otfbr investment in certain quarters as far as real estate, railroad building and stock speculations are concerned, I must not be understood as attacking good reliable business enterprises.

Both Robbers Killed. El Paso Oct 15.

Ernest Smith, together with J. R.

Beards-ley, clerk in the Wells Fargo office at Ft.

Read Keith list of prizes at the head of the want column for their grand drawing December An Exemplary French Millionaire. Paris Dispatch to London Telegraph. A French millionaire cuts but a very indifferent figure in comparison with an English one. The Gallic variety has but the trifling sum of 1,000,000 francs, or 40-000, placed to bis account when his countrymen one and all accord him tbe title. A real substantial millionaire from the English point of view has, however, been discovered in the person of M.

Arnaud Oyarcabal, who has just returned from South America to his native town of St Palais, in the Basque provinces, where in his youth he helped his father to sell goat's milk. From his own countrymen's point of view the successful goatherd is thirty times a millionaire, for be posseses 30.O00.0U0 francs, or 1.200,000 sterling. Fifty year, ago Arnaud Oyar-cable went out to Buenos Ayres with his father. For a long time the two Basque peasants found the Argentine republic anything but an El Dorado, where as in the imagination of many a poor emigrant, men pick up gold in the streets. They suffered so much hardship and misery that the elder man died, and his son became a servant in the house of a wealthy land owner who lived in the outskirts of Buenos Ayres.

The landowner has no family, and he was so thankful for the devoted attendance of his Basque servant that he made Oyarcabal big sole legatee. On the death of his master the ex-goatherd purchased several lots of land between the Paraguay and the Salado, and these he sold in a few years at ten times their original value. M. Oyarcabal 8 return to his native town of St Palais has, of course, made a great sensation in that rather primitive locality, and he is the wonder of tbe day all over the department of the lower Pyrenees. Far from dissipating his doubloons amid tbe distractions and temptations of Paris, where he might have a Renaissance villa in one of the Bois do Boulogne avenues, a stud of racers, a box at the opera and be chronicled diurnally, like many of the millionaires from the new world, as the giver of Lucullus like dinners and the cultivator of exotics, he prefers to spend the evening of his days in the shadow of his native hills and to do good to the people among whom his early life was passed.
