NUMBER 3949. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1886. TWO CENTS. 1 COLD WATE IS COMOCf. THE POISONED ICE CREAM.

EDITORS Off STATE POLITICS THE LIBERALS' HOPE GONE THE CAVALRY OX THE FIELD TOO COOL FOR CONGRESSMEN by remarking that the day and its lessons taught the value of all sections. Before the war it used to be said that no North, East, West or South should bo known. The war proved the need of knowing and feeling all parts of the oountry before we could attain a perfect Union. We had to thank God for the sections. The picnic in the woods was a striking feature of the day's events and was very much enjoyed by all the voterans.

After the luncheon, Tipton, the battle field photographer, of Gettysburg, got an excellent picture of Hampton and Gregg and again of the groups of important Federal and Confederate officers present. The whole affair was a genuine love feast and when it broke up the Confederate officers were especially pleased at the manner in which they had been received. They will carry back with them to the South fresh arguments for the proposed reunion of the representatives of both armies at this point on the twenty llfth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. It was near nightfall when the veterans returned to town. They are resting here to night and will leave for home to morrow.

This closes a series of reunions which have lasted since the 1st of July, during which more than 30,000 people from all parts of the country have journeyed to this battle field. It is really amazing what an interest both the old and young are reviving in these grand war memories, r. a. b. .1 It Did Sot Reach the City Yesterday, It is on Its Way.

But There is a cold wave coming, but it is not here Just yet Irhas swooped down on Chicago from Manitoba, sending the mercury down 60 at that point, but It had not reached Philadelphia at a late hour last night, nor had there been the least Indication during the day that the people east of tbe Alio ghenles would set a zephyr from it There was a very warm wave In this part ot the country. Yester day was a scorcher. While there was a pretty good breeze blowing during the day It was not the least bit like a cold wave. It felt hot when it fanned the cheek. It was sweltering hot The thermometer in the observatory on top of tbe Post Office building at 8 P.

indicated a tempera ture of ninety degrees. The humidity at the same time was fifty five degrees, being nine degrees above the average of July at 3 P. M. last year. The ther mometers on the Bbady side of Chestnut street at o'clock varied from ninety three to ninety six degrees.

The highest point was reached by tbe mer cury at McAllister's. Chestnut street was deserted during the afternoon by all excepting those whom business brought within Its heated precincts, and when tbe tide of Bhop girls and clerks set noniewaru me side upon wnicn tbe sun beat was Dare, wnue tno shaded walk was thronged. The humidity of the atmosphere Indicates the approach of a storm from somewhere. That a rain fall would follow close upon the heels of this heated period is presaged by the prevalence of rain through out tne ouinern states, me cities ol the Houtn reg istered within the past forty eight hours on an average ten degrees lower than the Northern cities, which is tbe reverse ot this rule. If the cold wave does not reach here from the West the rains that have cooled the South will probably extend their ro iresning mnuence mis way in a tew oays.

The thermometer registered In Pittsburg yester day so: Boston, S3; rortiana, Ma, 94; Keokuk, Iowa, 95; Indianapolis, 9.1; Leavenworth, 91; Albany. 92 Cincinnati. 91. and New York city. 93.

The only case of exhaustion reported besides a lew car norses was mat oi josepn stoker, employed in Funk Keller's brewery, at tbe corner of Broad and Cumberland streets, who was overcome by the neat in the afternoon ana taken to the Hospital. NEW YORK SOCIALISTS. A Meeting at Which the Conviction of the Boyeottera Was Denounced. Special Dispatch to The Times. New Yore, July 7.

A vast crowd of working people gathered at the Cooper Institute building this evening and as many as tbe hall would bold went Inside to express their loyalty to the boycott and their disapprobation of the action of Judge Barrett and his associates in sending boycotters to prison. The meeting was held under the auspices of six labor unions and tbe Social Labor party, an organization of Germans somewhat but not closely allied to the social revolutionists. At least seven eighths of tbe audience were Germans. A large forco of policemen were present Shortly after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by George Bock, who Introduced Robert Bliasert as the presiding officer. Mr.

Blissert was cheered enthusiastically as he stepped forward. He made a long address, in which he declared that uthe eyes of tho civilized world are upon us." A casual reference to Judge Barrett brought out a storm of hisses and hoots and other demonstrations of anger. Ho was followed by John Swinton, who made a characteristic speech, filled with classical allusions. He expressed in unmeasured terms his contempt for the Court that condemned the boycotters and his sympathy for the convicted men. Resolutions were adopted expressing the sentiments of the meeting in regard to the convictions.

During the evening the Marseilles was sung with much enthusiasm. DR. KIBRNAN'S SUICIDE. The Lntrnbe Physician Tried to Kill a Girl Before Shooting Himself. Special Dispatch to The Times.

1'ITTSBURQ, duly I. A highly sensational sequel to the suicide of Dr. J. O. Klernan at La I robe yesterday has Just come to light It seems that the doctor had been paying attention to a young woman named Fannie Glogger, who worked as a dining room girl at the Parker House.

Klernan Beelng tne result of bis shot, and suppos ing he had killed the girl, Immediately turned the weapon to his head aud seut a bullet crashing through his brain. The true version of the affair did not come to light until Fannie Glogger was compelled through pain from tbe wound tu ask for medical aid. sue then admitted that she had been shot by Dr. Eiernan aud related the foregoing story as tiie cause.

Sire is a very pretty girl aud is a daughter of the artist of tbe same name wbo lives in Alle gheny City. The Poisoned Picnickers at Conltervllle. Coultebville, 111., July 7. The mysteri ous sickness that made its appearance here on Sunday last continues to be the subject of much popular concern. Two children, Bessie aud Ada Wilson, aged respectively three and seven years, died on Monday and their mother is now quite ill.

The physicians at first thought that the sickness was the result of some uuknown atmospheric cause, but since then it has been generally attributed to mineral poison contained in ice cream and lemonade which was dispensed at a picnic on Saturday last A large number of the residents of Coulterville and many from adjacent parts of the country celebrated tbe Fourth of July on Saturday and it appears that nearly everybody who partook of the ice cream or lemonade on the occasion was taken sick on Sunday and has been more or less affected since, the symptoms denoting the presence of mineral poison and it seems to oe now tno common Doner mat tne vossels In which the fee cream was mado were not in proper condition and that this 1b the real cause of the sickness.

White House, N. July 7. The greatest excitement prevailed at New Germantown to day and hundreds of people came irom adjacent villages to witness tbe proceedings of the Coroner's Inquest on the death of David Welsh, the victim of the Pottersville poisoning. Among the two hundred people who crowded Into the room in Which the hearing was held, fully one half had suf fered from eating poisoned Ice cream and clearly bowed its traces in their faces. Ellis T.

Bartles, village storekeeper at Pottersville. testified that he bought the two freezers In which tbe ice cream was frozen, and that they were thoroughly cleaned under his direction before they were used. Dr. Francis Apgar, of New Germantown, explained tnat wnue attending Welsh he noticed symptoms of cholera morbus. Later symptoms led him to think Welsh was suffering from an Irritant iu his stomach and at his doattt he was satisfied he had boon poisoned.

The emaciated appearance of the body, contracted abdomon and congested appearance of uie siomacu, as snown at tne autopsy, Dr. Apgar held to completely verify bis opinion. Drs. J. F.

Berg, of North Branch, aud Byron Thornton, of Pea pack, practically Indorsed Dr. Apgar's views, aud Dr. Thornton stated that on testing some wator which contained sediment of the fatal Ice cream, he found precipitate of one form of Scheeles Paris green. Ker. William Schmitz.

He denies it and will to morrow tell his story on the witness stand. MAXWELL'S FIGHTS FOR LIFE. A New Trial Refused An Appeal to the United States Courts. St. Louts, July 7.

Judge Van Wagoner, of the Criminal Court, to day overruled the motion made recently by Maxwell's attorneys for a new trial. As soon as the pris oner shall have been sentenced an appeal will be taken to tne Supreme Court. If this shall prove un successful the case will be taken to the United States Court on tbe ground that the State law which allows the prosecution more challenges of lurors than the defense Is unconstitutional. Making Children Pay Full Fare. There was considerable growling in the southern section of the city over the action of officials of the Lombard and South Street Line In notifying the riders on tho road that all passengers, except Infants In arms, would be compelled to pay the regular fare, five cents.

President Parsons, of the People's Lino, said, In referring to the matter: "For some time past we have received innumerable complaints from riders on tbe road that tbe seats were filled with babies and children, for whom no fare or only half fare was charged, white they were compelled to pay the full fare and stand up. The company was losing trade on account of It aud the directors thought that the best way to adjust the trouble was by issuing the order. It was issued and It will be enforced. Exactly what an Infant in arms Is I am not capable of Judging; that will have to be left to the discretion of the conductor." Charged With Killing a Man.

Republicans Who Think the Outlook Rosy for the Ticket, Bat 8 General Fear That the Legislature is In Danger Demo crate Conservative and Hopeful. Special Dispatch to The Times. Atlantic Citt, July 7.

Wherever you turned to day you could brush up against a Pennsylvania editor, with his wife or daughter or somebody else's daughter, taking in the sights from the Inlet to the Excursion House, They oovered the new iron pier, filled tho horse cars, hired all the yaohts and were regular boarders at meal time. In the dining room they kept the waiters on the jump, and a more energetic and ambitious gathering of hun gry mortals could not have been found in the length and breadth of the land. They were rapacious in their demands for copy from the kitchen and the only regret was caused by the absence of the 100 pound Cnoper Stahle drum fish, which had been faithfully promised for dinner to day. COOPER AND STAHLE'S FISH. That fish, which was claimed to have been caught by both the Delaware and Adams county mon, disappeared mysteriously.

Cooper declares that Stahle bought It, while the Gettysburg Com piler editor holds to it that ho landed the finny monster with a boat hook. The story is told that Colonel (Juny was tbe successful fisherman and sent it to the hotel for the association to feed uoon, when it was intercepted by Stahle, who scored a point on Cooper, to whom it was consigned. Drum fish is on the bill of fare for to morrow, with sauce a la Cooper or Stahie, as tho guests may desire. Not a single editor had the nerve to go fishing to day, some for fear that they would not eaten anytntng, some that they could not equal the Cooper Stable record and the most of them because they were satisfied nobody would believe them if thoy brought in a ton of the finest fish in tho ocean. One little incident ploasod Secretary Thomas in particular and the association in general.

The hackmen gave in early in tho morning and after twenty four hours' boycott announced that thoy would carry the editors at the rogular rates. Still it did not do thoin much pecuniary good, as the visitors had by that time learned how to.go to all the main points of interest at considerable less expense than by carriage. This evening the asso ciation visited the Virginia Garden In a body by invitation and witnessed an acceptable performance of the "Mikado." When the performance had ended the youngor folks came to tno uotei ana aanced until midnight. DIFFERENT VIEWS OF POLITICS. While the association had journeyed to the city by the sea for recreation, rost and pleasure, as the avowed purpose of the visit they neces sarily could not forogo little chats about the political situation.

At the same time the edi tors were chary about saying anything for publication, and the large majority preferred to hold off from giving their impressions to the publio until all the tickets have been placed in the field. Senator Thomas V. Cooper, of the Media American, was in his usual jovial mood and talked quite froely. "I am not a bit scared over the Prohibition plank or Norris' speech. The ticket will grow in strength, and will be elected by a handsome majority.

The Prohibition plank has been well received, anj ha9 served tho purpose of killing off Charlie Wolfe as a candidate for Governor. Norris' speoch at Gettysburg only told of whnt he considered to be the facts of the case, and I know he was right in some of his statements, because I was in the Third Corps at the time of the battle. At any rate, it is only one of those old nrmy differences, and has nothing whatever to do with politics." H. J. Stahle, of the Gettysburg Compiler, was of the opinion that tho Democrats never had a better chance to carry the State, providing they put up a first class tiokot.

He slyly expressed the hope that the Republican candidates would start at their speech making as speedily as possible, and said that the Prohibitionists would be a more important factor In the light than was generally believed. K. H. Thomas, of the Mechanicsburg Farmers' Friend, speaking for the Granger elomont, remarked: "I have leon so busy with this trip since the Republican Convention that I know very little about the situation. Tho Grangers will hold oil until the Democrats make their nominations.

My present conviction is that the Republican Grangers will vote the Republican ticket and the Democratic Grangers for their own candidates." THE LEGISLATURE IN DANGER. Luolus Rogers, ol the McKean County Miner, was quite enthusiastic in the belief that Beaver and the whole ticket will be eleotod with but little he added, I nm very much afraid that We may lose the State House of Representatives and with it the Legislature. All of the close districts, or nearly all ot them, are likely to go against us with the present feeling about prohibition. I do not like the outlook in that direction at all." Thomas M. Jones, of the Harrisburg Telegraph, who was standing by, was of the same way of thinking.

It looks to me," he said, as if we would probably lose Harrisburg. We only have about two hundred and fifty majority nt any time, and besides the Prohibition elomont we have about seven hundred colored voters who are greatly displeased at not having one of their race sent to the State Cauvontion. The situation is not a pleasant one to consider, although the ticket is taking well." J. K. Bogert, of the Wllkesbarro Leader, said "I find that the Republican State ticket takes fairly well in our section that is to say Beaver and the rest are acceptable without any great amount of party enthusiasm being displayed.

Nevertheless the olks up our way think that Norris, in his speech, has been very foolish to say the least of it and he has jeopardized his chances of election. Then again Quay's prohibition plank suits nobody. It will catch none of tho regular Prohibition voto and has embittered the liquor interests, Republicans and Democrats alike. What our party will do I don't know. Chauncoy Black would suit a great many Democrats, but the prevailing belief is that Wnllaoe would make the stronger candidate for Uovornor.

it is thought that ho would make a oampaign like Hill did in Now York. For Lieutenant Governor the only man talked about is Bruce Ricketts, whoso battery annihilated the Louisiana Tigers at Gettysburg. His nomination would square up tho soldier business, as no man in the State has a better record than Captain Ricketts." BLACK A FAVORITE AT SUNBURV. J. B.

Fisher, of tho Waynesboro Keystone Gazette, spoke warmly in praise of the Republican tickot ana predicted lte easy suooess from top to bottom. W. L. Dowart, of the Sunbury Daily, was equally confident that the Democrats could win. He believed that Chauncey Black would be the nominee for Governor, although Wallaoo might have it if he wanted it very badly.

Mr. Dowart bad some hopes that the Democrats will oapture the Legislature, and then," he snid, William A. Wallace Is the man to elect to the United States Senate." E. L. Christman, of the Washington Daily lie porter, said "We are all right for Boaver and the whole ticket out on the Ohio border.

Wo havo some local difforonoes and a few impracticable Prohibitionists, but they will not hurt us much. Blaiue was born in our county, and we will help to carry the State this year, so that we can name the next Presldont." A. J. Hughes, of the Port Alleghany Revorter. remarked that there was trouble in the Republican camp of the northorn tier.

"I roally can't see," he continued, that there is much difference between now and when Charlie Wolfe ran for State Treasurer. He is very strong, and if the Prohibitionists nominnto him there will be some trouble in the northorn tier for the Republicans. Tbe Democrats hope to have a strong tickot and think that thoy can win." D. J. Godsehalk.

of the Bethlehem Times, thought that it was rather early to talk politics. The faot of the matter is," he said, there is no great principle involved and it is a grab for the spoils. Norris has hurt himself more, probably, than he appreciates at this time." J. I. Steel, of the Ashland Advocate, said I suppose the Republican ticket will poll pretty nearly the party vote iu our county, and Sam Losch will labor just as hard to oarry Schuylkill county as if he was on it.

We Democrats only ask for a good ticket and will then work to make it win. Wallace has a groat many friends, and so has Black, for Governor, but I think Curtln would run bettor than any of them in the mining regions." Colonel Kinsloe, of the Lock Haven Republican, cheerily remarked: "The tioket is all right. Beaver is very strong, although he is not the strongost man by any means on the tickot. I won't say who is at this time, but the eleotion will prove what I say. I don't think wo should lose the Legislature.

I know that if the Democratic dissensions can be kopt up that we can gain a Legislator in Clinton county and probably tho Senator, but it is wonderful how these people come together on election day. I know that it is necessary for us to gain wherever it Is possible, as the Legislature Is in more danger than the State tioket. I hope the Prohibitionists will Dominate Wolfe for Governor, because the conscientious ones will not vote for him; The setting down he received at Willlamsport, where he was oozzenlng for the nomination, showed him up in his true eolors. On the whole, I think Beaver will get the full Republican vote and perhaps a little more." THE HOUSE ENDEAVORS TO WAHM UP WITK DISCUSSION Oi? THE TEIOES. Republican Efforts to Force a Democrat! Quarrel Defeated The Majority Stand the President Waving the Bloody Shirt In Torrid Atmosphere.

Special Dispatch to The Times. Washington, July T. The political pot fairly boiled and bubbled la the House all the afternoon. President Cleveland's pension vetoes were stacked up ot the Speaker's desk, and these dooumenU of blue tinted paper, tied up with pink tape, caused as hot' an afternoon in doors as it was out of doors. Members talked and roared and sweltered.

Tbe Republicans made the most of their opportunity and did the most of the speech making. Nearly every new member on that side got in some good work of the bloody shirt order. It was altogether remarkable how much gore could be squeezed from that garment. The Democrats did quite as well as might be expocted where it devolved upon them to uphold the President for his vetoes and justify themselves for having passed the objectionable measures at the same time, JDuring the dlsoussioo both sides became very muoh excited and cheered and jeered each other's speakers alternately, sometimes both at once. The debate was interesting in spots.

REPUBLICAN TACTICS DEFEATED. The aim of the Republicans was to have definite day set for the considoration of each, veto as it was announced, and, falling in that, to instruct the pensions committee to report the bill and veto back by Friday. These motions were made half a dozon times, but were each time rejected by a party vote, and thus the) amiable desire of the Republicans to force the Democrats who had voted for the pensions to show their hand against the administration was defeated. One of the most violent speeches of the day was made by Jackson, of Pennsylvania, who said that the President vetoed those beoause he was in sympathy with the party opposed to pensioning Union soldiers aim did not propose that any Union soldiers should be Densionert if hn inlH avoid it. It was said the President meant riuht.

Ho jdid mean ribt to ploase a certain element in the country, but not riirht to nleasa honest, loyal people. DEFENDING THE PltESIDENT. Matson and Bragg brought out trreat aDDlausa by doclnring that the Democratic party would stand by the President. Bragg said that there seemed to be an Idea in the House that it was tho duty of tho President to abdicate his office in favor of a majority of the committee on invalid pensions, whenever, in the exercise of tha constitutional prerogatives given him, he examined legislation to see whother or not it was provident and wise, it was chargod that he had perpetrated an outrage on the American poople. He (Mr.

Bragg) maintained that the President was honestly discharging his duty when, in the exercise ol his judgment, he sent legislation back to tho House with his reason for withholding his approval. The House Rhould act upon tha question not with demagogical speeches, but with judicial and doliberate consideration. Mr. Bragg was glad to find that at last there was a man iu the executive chamber who had tha nerve and courage to place his hand upon legislation when he thought it improper whether it wore pension or railroad legislation. Biiyno.

of Pennsylvania, resented th Proof. dont's language as throwing slurs on Contrrasa and tho Union soldier, and Cannon threw the Democrats Into fervid excitement bv accusing Cleveland of playing for the solid vote of the South in the next Democratic National Convention. Then the Republicans refused to vote. No quorum could bo obtained and tha Hnnna ad journed. EXPLANATIONS IN THE HOUSE.

Lavlshneas of the Senate In Rejecting Amendments In Favor of Economy. Special Dispatch to The Times, Washinoton, July 7. Another day was spent by tho Senate in considering the river and harbor bill and it Is likely still another will be required to finish It Half the session to day was dovoted to the amendment appropriating $150,000 for the purchase ot Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan Ship Canal and Harbor of Refuge. Tbe ameudment was finally adopted by a vote of 3(5 to 16. As a rule, tho Senate has shown even greater liberality than the Senate committee on commerce and iu every important instance where the committee reduced the appropriation the Senate rejected the amendments, thus restoring the old amounts.

Tiie amendment appropriating SMO.000 for beginning the construction of a dam at Hen's Island, la the Allegheny rivpr. near Pittsburg, was agreed to. The clause appropriating 1121,200 for the Improvement of the Monouguhela rlvor, In Pennsylvania and West Virginia, was passed over.

Salisbury's Friends Counting on a Purely Conservative Government The Premier Calls the Cabinet Decide Upon a Course of Action Latest Betnrns. Special Cable Telegram to The Times. London, July 7. At midnight thetotal returns from the polls are as follows Tories, 240 Unionists, 47 Liberals, 119; Parnellites, 55.

Thus, with 461 members of the 670 eleoted the Gladstonians have but 174, while the opposition count up 287. Every poll shows an increased Tory vote and the counties are going strongly Unionist. Somerset, Warwick, Hereford, Derby, Denbigh and Shropshire, in which centres the agricultural vote, have returned Conservatives. Scotland continues Gladstonian. Numerous county polls have not yet been taken, but it is impossible to reverse the defnut of the government.

The Unionists are confident of an ultimate strength of 370 against 300. The Conservatives are certain that, with a compact phalanx of three hundred members, Lord Salisbury will form a purely Conservative Ministry. A Cabinet oounoil will be held Tuesday to decide on the course to be pursued in view of the results of the elections. To day's returns have but confirmed the defeat of Gladstone. It the contest had not now progressed beyond tbe stage of oloseness such a triumph as that which Sexton has achieved in carrying the West division of Belfast might have given a fillip to tbe spirit of the Gladstonians, but it was hardly noticed in tbe face of the discouragement that came in from tbe English counties.

What was the value of the gain in Belfast when it was accompanied by the loss of suoh ordinarily staunch Liberal districts as North Cambridgeshire, North Shropshire, West Somersetshire and Northeast and Southwest Warwickshire and Carnarvon Their defection was all the more disheartening because the rural voters proved to havo deserted in troops to the Unionists and thus the ray of hope van ished. A dismal prospect. Despair was felt at the Liberal centres by 3 o'clock this afternoon, when the totals showed that of the 444 candidates returned up to that time the Tories had elected 235, the Unionists 45 and the Gladstonians 164. The Tories had gained 42 seats, the Unionists 2, the Gladstonians 18 and the Parnellitos 1 a not gain of 25 for the opponents of home rule for Ireland. Gladstone would then have bad to carry 172 of the 226 seats remaining to be filled to obtain a majority of ono in the House.

Everybody folt that the question was more than settled, and curiosity turned upon the point whether the Tories might not elect a clear majority of the House without tho neip oi tne Liberal dissidents. loet street has been crowded all dav with people watching the election bulletins. The Tories vigorously applauded when thoy found that the county elections show the same decrease in jjiDerai votes and the same Conservative gains. both in seats and votes, as in the boroughs. Tho Parnellites are applauded for their gallant and successful light In Ireland, but elsewhere tho Liberals confess the counties show no more enthusiasm for Gladstone than did the boroughs, HOW THE HOUSE WILL STAND.

The Liberal estimate is that England will be practically solidly Tory against a solid Ireland. with Wales and Scotland so divided as to give Gladstone little aid in his home rule plans, The Liberal defoat," savs the Pall Mall Gazette, Is degenerating into a rout. Yesterday's polls are simply fatal; 1886 will replace 1874 as that which marks the lowest low water mark of Liberalism In England. To day our tide ebbing fast. No ono can say as yet how far it will recede.

All that can be seen is that we re colvod a blow boforo which even Gladstone, doughty veteran that he is. must reel baokward, Yesterday our defeats assumed the proportions of a catastrophe. The popular vote in the constituencies declared yesterday Bhowed last No vemoer a Liberal majority of 9.853. That has now entirely disappeared. Its place is taken bv a conservative majority oi nor tne nrst lime, also, in tbis eleotion the dav polls do not snow any railing on in tne conservative vote.

He was defeated by a Liberal in tbe same district last election by a majority of 121. The Leominster returns were the first published from the couuty elections to day and the result caused profound excitement among the Tories all over England. Mr. S.

Waddy (Gladstonian) carried the Brlgg division of Lincolnshire, but by a majority over 8,000 less than that obtained by the Liberal candidate at the last election. This news, published alongside of the great Tory victory In Leominster, put the Liberals In a gloom.

Tbe Tories have gained the North and South divisions of Westham, aud the Accrington and Soutbport divisions of Lancashire.

How Be Received Bli Sabre Cat Marking Oat the Place. Where the Trooper Met Some More Unwritten History Special Dispatch to The Times. Gettysburg, July 7. I should like to have got one ewipe at him with my sabre, though," was tho closing remark made by Wade Hampton, as he told to a small group of ex officers of both armies the story of the sabre out he received on the 3d of July, 1863, at the hands of an officer of the Seventh Michigan Cavalry. The distinguished ex Confederate cavalryman and present United States Senator was standing on the ground where, in the cut and thrust of that day, he received not only the Michigan man's sign manual on his face, but later on a wound from a piece of shrapnel, which still remains in his body.

Major General Gregg, V. S. who commanded the Union cavalry, engaged and othor distinguished officers belonging to both armies were grouped around Wade Hampton, as, in order to prove how hot the fight became, he told this incident: "I don't bear him any animosity, but I would have liked to have got at him as I clubbed my pistol and threw it in his face. All the chambers were empty. Yes," he added, with a half humorous twinkle in his quiet eyes, I think even now that would have been a satisfaction.

A HOT CAVALBT FIGHT, The incident illustrates the hot give and take of that broiling afternoon of July, 1863. It was charge and counter charge, cut and thrust, rally and sally, the most vigorous and splendid cavalry fight for the number engaged of the war. And the men who led and commandod on either side, generals, colonels, Held and company commanders, with the brilliant staff officers, who bear the hardens of administration and are often so little known, were there in perfect peace and good fellowship, assisting the representatives of the government they either defended or assailed, in definitely locating the places of their several commands. Gregg and Hampton, Mumford and Mcintosh, MeClellan and Trowbridge and Gray and Jenkins, Irwin and Powers and scores of others stood together describing and indicating in the sorene beauty of the lovely scene about them the various places of their several commands, with all the circumstances which attended their movements. There has been no drum or trumpet parade to day, yet the cavalry reunion, with its romarkable gathoring of representative officers from botn sides, has unquestionably been the most notable military reunion had here sinco the war closed.

No set oration or oven accidental speeches have attended its progress. It was a very business like affair. At two o'clock Senator Wade Hampton loft the field and the friends, old and new, he had met thereon to return to his important dutios at Washington. The utmost good feeling and courtesy prevailed among all who were present. One of the pleasant features was an open air luncheon provided in the woods to the south of the eavalry monument, which were once occupied by the First Brigade of Gregg's division, under command of Colonel John B.

Mcintosh. THE BATTLE FIELD. This cavalry fight of July 3, 1863, was the greatest fought by that arm of the service during those few fateful days. There were about soven thousand men engaged besides artillery. No finer field for such a combat could have been found, and the objects aimed at by General Lee, through General Stuart's troopors, were commensurate with the strength displayed and the efforts mado.

The battlo fleld lies about four miles north of Gettysburg on the east of Cemetery Iiidge and the linos occupied by the Union army. Stuart moved out by the York turnpike and then deployed into a heavy body of timber to the east of the road, with opon and gontly sloping fields, whosa linos ran southwurd in his front. The timber afforded a perfect mask for tho Confederate formation, while a mile away along the Hanover road the Union brigados waited unsheltered, and in the open to the east about two miles was General Meade's headquarters and the roar of the Union position. On the right, to the southward, was the ordnance train, parked in full sight of Stuart's position. It was superbly chosen.

If the culminating effort of Lee in ordering the mighty assault of Pickett's on that third day could have been helped in any strong way by a cavalry attack Stuart hold the best position from which to launch it. There Is no doubt that such was the objeot for General Stuart. It was the torrible thunder of Pendleton's guns boyond the ridge that shot Stuart from behind his timber screen, to encounter three Union brigados of cavalry under General Gregg and General Custer's famous brigade of Michigan troopers. The latter properly belonged to the division posted below tho Hound Top under Kilpatrick. Custer was always spoiling for a light and, being on the ground, had a full measure of his desire.

THE GROUND MARKED OUT. This was the fight which was considered, debated and marked out to day. For four hours the several groups of officers and troopers moved to and through to salient places, pointing out where their several commands were placed or engaged on this'flold of fighting horsemon. It was sometimes said Who evor saw a dead cavalryman, or who ever knew of the actual crossing of sabres in a charge 1" Yet here ono of the most distinguished Confederates was slashed in the head by a Union trooper. The Federal command did not exceod 3,500 men and one fourth or that force was reported killed and woundod.

Of this total Custer's wolverines lost over 600. The work done to day was necessary and it was eiucionuy periormea. ine work tnat must arise from the gathering has but just begun.

The work began with tho Confederate position nt Cress and Wolf hills, at the northern part of tho Rummel farm. General Hampton was especially considerate in the indication of the lines on whlcb General Stuart moved and whero, within the timber, his own command was placed. Major MeClellan was able to point uut where the various commands bad boon aligned. Some of tho narratives were intensoly interesting and thoy were all simply told in a dlreot soldierly way that gave them excellent point. One of the most Interesting circumstances was the narration of Captain Miller, of Carlisle, who described the dash made by tbe two squadrons detached and under bis command, that were stationed to the Confederate right and south of their line, within the open field.

At the cavalry monument the Union ofHcors took up tho tnlo and aided eaoh other in pointing out the several movements of the eventful day. A little friendly dispute arose as to whether or not there had been for a briof period any withdrawal of his troops by General Custer owing to an order reported sent by General Kilpatrick. All the Michigan officers present declared that there had uever been a single moment's withdrawal on their part from the Hold. Captain Wugner, of Pennsylvania, serving on the First Brigade staff, confirmed this by showing that the misappre bouslon arose from the nature of the ground, which led to General Mcintosh's mistake. During the talk General George Gray, colonel Of the Sixth Miohigan, made a happy little bit a a TWO SHOTS IN THE ROOM.

A Poverty stricken Father Kill. His Bleeping Son and Himself. New York, July 7. i John Warner, a tall, bald headed man, with a fringe of gray hairs showing under his hat and a black moustache tinged with gray, hired a hall bedroom on tbe fourth floor of the flat No. 193 West Tenth street, about two months ago.

lie was accompanied by a boy of fourteen, a likely young fellow, whom he introduced as his son Joseph. Beyond the casual observation that be was a Canadian no one knew much about hfm. He came and went at regular hours, and at night he add the boy always slept together in the house. Early this morning pistol shots were heard coming from their room. When the door was broken open the boy was found in bed in his night shirt with a bullet In his brain.

It was clear that his father bad shot him as he slept and he died soon after being taken to tbe hospital. On the floor was the body of the father in a pool of blood and a big pistol in his hand. He bad evidently gone about tho terrible deed with deliberation. On the window sill stook a small looking glass, beside three or four cartridges. He had apparently used tbe glass in fixing his aim, so that the bullet should not fall to kill him after he had taken his son's life.

Tbe father after shooting his son turned the weapon to bis own bead, sent the bullet through his own brain, and dropped dead in his tracks. There was nothing In the room to furnish any clue to the mystery of the double crime. From the plainness of the surroundings, the appearance of the clothes woro by both Warners, which wore cheap and well worn, and the fact that no money was found In the room, it would appear that poverty was the motive oi me iatner's crime. It has boon loarued that Werner was for many years a ladles' tailor and made a fortune In the business. Fiftoon years ago he marriod a young actress known on the stage as Anuie Stuart and in private life as Annie Stone.

Five years ago, while playing with a traveling company In Buffalo, she died. Soon after this Werner retired from business, and, with his son, lived in comfort and ease until, for the sake of having something to employ his time, he began to dabble In Wull street He was unfortunate in all his veutures, and in three years had lost bis whole fortune. Last he had tp give up bis comfortable rooms, and, with bis son, took up lodgings in the poor quarters where he ended his life. Ho is said to have relations In Iowa and Iudlana, and he has many frlonds in this city who would have helped him. A NEW STREET RAILWAY.

The Thirteenth and Fifteenth Street Company Buy an Old Charter. In 1858 a charter for a passenger railway was secured by Kobort Wright, Robert Buchanan, Daniel Dougherty and others, to run over the following route. From the Intersection of Fifteenth and Chestnut streets and thence along Fifteenth street to Vine street, to Sixteenth street, and thence to Walnut street, and to connect with any passenger railway now constructed, or hereafter to be constructed, to give to said campany a complete route from Fairmount to the Exchange, at Third and Walnut streets." Under the charter the com pany now possessing It could go over the following route: Starting from the Fairmount Water Works, down Spring Garden to Twenty second street, down Twenty second street to Arch, down Arch to Fifteenth, down Fifteenth to Chestnut, down Chestnut to the Exchange, out Walnut to Thirteenth, up Thirteenth to Arch, out Arch to Twenty third and thence to Fairmount using the tracks of the Hustonville and Mantua and Traction Companies and coming Into lively competition with not only those companies, but the People's Line. It was said yestordny by a gentleman who does not wish to have his name mentioned in connectiou with the matter that ho had been privately informed by interested parties that William Harding, who for a number of years has been in possession of the charter, bad lately disposed of it to the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Streets Passenger Kailwav Company, and that a spocial meeting of the directors of the company had been held sometime during tbe last 48 hours to take immediate action In the matter, and make preparations for securing the advantages conferred by tho charter. HURT WITH A BASE BALL.

An Inhuman Surgeon Refuses to Attend the Dangerously Wounded Man. Jersey City, July 1. Several members of the Jersey City Police Base Ball Club were practicing this afternoon in tbe City Prison yard. A ball thrown by Detective Pear son struck Patrolman Mlcbaol McAnally In the groin, rupturing him frightfully. He fainted throe times while bolng removed to the station house.

Police Surgeon Andrews, who was examiuing applicants for appointment to tho force, was requested to attend McAnally, but refused to do so. lie claimed that he was only required to attend officers who wore injured In the discharge of their duty. He became augry when urged to attend the suffering officer and positively refused to have auy tuiug iu uu wim me case. City Physician Gray was summoned and treated McAnally, who was subsequently removed to the City Hospital. Ills condition is serious.

Figures of Railway Bankruptcies. Chicago, July 7. The Railcay Age, in an article on Foreclosure Sales and Keceivershlps for Six Months," says "While the financial condition of the railways of the United Slates has been gradually Improving for the last two or three years, the results of the previous depression have continued to be shown in the closing out by foreclosure sale of many railway companies which had for some time been in the hands of the courts. The record of foreclosure sales for the year 1885 showed a large increase over tbe previous year and that for the first six months of 1S86 is still more discouraging.

It shows a total of seventeen road having a mileage of S.19S miles, bonded debt of $103,550,000, capital stock of $149,070,000. It is gratifying, however, to find that a comparatively small amount of new work is being laid out for receivers. Tho total for tho six months is sevou roads, with a mileage ot 1,881 miles and a bonded and stock Investment of 115,310,000, and Is much less than has been shown uudor i he head of receiverships for a similar period In many years."

The motion to dismiss the cases of the Anarchists charged with unlawful assembly and Indorsing the action of their Chicago brethren during the Haymarket riot was argued this afternoon in the Court of Criminal Correction. Judgo Noon an sustained tbe motion to dismiss, holding there was nothing to show that the alleged unlawful resolutions as offered were adopted. It would be impossible to prove the Chicago trouble without trying the Chicago cases over luthis city. The ploadlngs were unsound and the method of presenting tbe pleadings Impracticable. If the resolutions were only offered and not adopted the sentiments expressed therein were merely opinions and every one was entitled to bis opinion In this country.
