GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM. TAE TROUBLE THAT WILL ESTRANGF THE IRISH-AMERICANS From the Republican Party-The Hoosier State.Safe for Democracy-Something will -Drop- on the Pacific Slope in November. Campaign Money andj Literature-Black mailing Racket-The Would-be Mr. Jer sey Lily Despondent. Nw Yenx, August 28.-President Cleveland's message on the Senate's rejec tion of the fisheries treaty isstill the upper most theme in political discussion. It is impossible to overestimate the astonish ment and consternation which this well timed bomb caused in the camp of the enemy. It shattered the main string of their campaign fiddle-the pro-English proclivities of the Democratic party as seen through protection spectacles. In the opinion of the directors of the Democratic campaign at the national headquarters, Mr. Blainte's rabid utterances in point will still further entran the Irish-American ele meat from te publican party. .One of the visitors at headquarters yes tercFay'was Chairman Jewett, of the Indi ana Democratic State Committee. At no time since the Chicago Convention, Mr. Jewett says, has there been so much en thninaa in the Hoosier State for the Dem ocratic ticket. He thinks the State is safe beyond peradventure. His committee have organized the State thoroughly by coun ties, and a rough poll of the voters shows tmaterial net increase of the Democratic There was a messenger of good tidings from California also yesterday in the per son of Ex-Governor Stoneman, who says that without any doubt the G.

C., August 30.-Yester dayafternoon at about 6 o'clock, W. C. Quten,. section master on the Three C's road, struch andkilled with a spiking ham --mer,3ary Dye, colored, an employe of oaf the road. The homicide was a brutal and cruel murder, and the good people of Lancaster are much incensed over the out rage. The cancumsannces of the killing are as follows: Dye, who was carting dirt on Major Adams's force, got the wheel of his barrow fastened between the iron rail and a plank at the crossing. Outen told the negro to "get that thing out of there." Dmade some reply when Outen said: 'you mean to give me any slack talk?" and struck him, with the result above men tioned. Outen made his escape and has not yet been arrested. "Caress" is the name of a new post office In West Virginia. If it were in Maine now, what a picturesque address it would be for a young lady-Caress, Me. The time to live is now. It is folly to spend the days of middle life preparing to BUSTING OF A BUSTLE. A Lady Knocked Down in Church by an Explosion-A Suit for Damages. (From the San Francisco Examiner.) Those persons who attended the read ings of Charles Dickens, Jr., at the First Congregational Church about two months ago, will recall, when their memory is refreshed, a peculiar and em barrassing accident that happened to a lady who was present one evening. Mr. Dickens was delivering in his most English style the story about Dr. Mari gold, the philosophical "cheap jack," and had almost awakened a feeling of interest in the minds of his audience. A tall, finely formed lady, with pat rician features and dignified gait, entered by the left door about this time and walked up the aisle. She was accompa nied by her husband, whose military bearing added effect to the aristocratic appearance of his better half. On reaching a seat a few yards from the platform she gave a swing to her dress as she attempted to sit down gracefully. But her foot caught in the carpet and she stumbled and fell heavily on the seat. As she did so a muffled report was heard, and the lady was observed to collapse with a lurch. Her face turned first a deathly pale and them a carmine hue, and she sprang to her feet in great confusion. Mr. Dickens stopped a moment in his iesding at the sound of the explosion, if such it was, and the finding that noth ing serious had apparently happened, he continued his efforts. A titter, com bined with a broad smile, however, pass ed from one to another of those who divined the nature of the trouble. The husband, who possessed a man's hardness and who could not sympathize with a woman's chagrin and tender sensibility, clasped his arms around his wife's waist as she arose, and told her not to look and act so foolishly. But the explosion of a patent bustle is no small matter to a lady, and although she at length consented to stay, she evi dently felt ill at ease all'the evening. A large shawl was thrown over her shoul ders to hide the blushes which even stole around the back of her neck. It was an accident deserving of the most sympathetic consideration, but in stead-it received only ridicule. No one dreamed that this story would be the subject of a civil suit, and as it was not published at the time, through sympathy with the lady, it was thought by those present that it was lost on the air. Justice of the Peace Boland found yesterday afternoon that this was not so, when Mrs. Elsie Wilkins was sued by Miss Margaret Towan to recover $20 in the Justice's Court, on account of goods supplied and work and labor performed. Mrs. Wilkins was the wearer of the bustle and Miss Towan her dressmaker. Miss Towan took the stand, end said: "The defendant-urdered me to make a dress for her, which must be a perfect fit. iShe purchased the rich, dark brown material, so I was to charge $20 for my labor and a bustle. 1 took exceptional pains to fit her, but it seems to me that she varies in size from day to day, and re quires an alteration of her dress after every meal, as she etxpands and contrsots cons iderably. "As to the bustle, I would say that I am the agent of importers of the bustle in Chicago. I only give the printed guarantee of the firm and a caution to purcasers. I hear that the bustle burst when the lady sat down in church, and she was so enraged that she refused to pay my bill, but I-ean swear that I told her what the iconsequences would be if she were not careful in sitting down." "Do you maintain that theaskirt ofth dress fitted Mrs. Wilkin?" queried Attorney W. W. Matthews. "I do, sir.,, "Don't o know that it was discarded "There was no reason for it, if such was the case." "What kind of a bustle was this?" "It was in shape of across between a football and a birdeage. The outerocover ing was of rabber, and bymeana of a screw in the rigithand corner it could be openedshea innte by using a tube tht-anmpaie it; then 'the orifice could be- closed and the bustle made air-tight.' This style is called 'T'he Eclipse,' and for grace and comfort it eclipses all the other protuberanoeszmade of wire or other materials." The witness then procured a similar article to the one in dispute, and it was a source of amusement to his Honor and the spectators present, while the ladies slyly touched their cheeks with powder rasto hide their blushes. ayGilbert, a ~ beautyin a cream oteddress, 'ai she was one- of Miss Towan's assistants, and could swear that no special guarantee was made that the bustle would not explode under any Petriek Dufisaid- he found the re mains of what he thought was a toy balloon when he swept out the church next morning but it proved, however, to be the coeo of the bustle. Mrs. Wikn then retired into the Judge's chambers, and reappeared in a few minutes wearing the dress in ques tion. She said it was too tight across the hips and impeded her progress in walk ing. When she tried to sit down the tension was too great and the dress improver accordingly burst. The plaintiff had extolledthemerits of "The Eclipse," and guaranteed that there would be no danger-of any such distressing predica ment as that in which she had been sub 'case being submitted, Justice Boland closely inspected the dress and specimen bustle and then said: "This is a most peculiar case. I have read of bustles being made of horsehair, muslin, newspapers, pillows, bird cages and even quilts. I have heard of alarm clocks atikn the hour within the folds of alaysdress. Smuggled cigars, jewel ry andm.d have also bebrought to light, but never before heard of an air-tight bustle explodirgin ca:.ch, and being made the subject of a civil suit. Not being married yet the situation is somewhat delicateand perpiexing to me, but still looking at the case from a legal standpoint, I think wecan adjust matters satisfactorily. The dress appears a little tight, but still very becoming, and were a non-explosive bustle used, this might never have been brought." His Honor then deducted $8.50 from the bill, as the detendant set upaclim for damages for the explosion trouble. He then rendered judgement in favor of the plaintiff for $11.50. The glory of youth is hope; the glory of old age is memory. An error gracefully acknowledged is a victory won. While walking in the snshine don't for get that the shadow is only across the street. "Numerously gowned" is the way to speak of a woman who has an abundance of dresses. If this is the best time to buy coal, as we re informed by an exchange,g why shouldn't January be the best time to lay A RUSSIAN COURTSHIP. "Be mine!" said the ardent young Saw milegoff. In a voice with emotion quite husky; "My fondest . devotion. 0 please do not scoff, Katinka Pojikaroluski!" "Techernyschevsky, my friend," the shy maiden replied, "Your people are noble and rich: Would a Golgusoff's granddaughter be a fit bride For a nephew of Maximovitch?" "I care not a kopeck!" he said. "In my droshky I have you safe now, and I laugh At the wealth of a Klitkin or Overhau loshki, Gojavnik or Pullerzedoff. "You are worth more to me than the gold of Slugmiski, Brakemupski or Sumarakoff! Katinka Pojakaroluski, it's risky, Sut I'm.going to carry you off!" And this is the way the young -Sawmileg off Put an end to all further discussion; 'Twas a simpler proceeding to carry her off Than to go on courting in Russian. CAN'T TELL THE TWINS APART. Comical Errors Arising from the Similari ty of Two Cruisers. The similarity between the new steel cruisers Atlanta and Boston are causing a great deal of confusion in the Brook lyn Navy Yard, where the batteries of both vessels are now undergoing alters tions. They are twin ships, and are so exactly alike that even neither com manders nor crew can distinguish one from the other even after reaching the deck. The Boston is lying at the wharf di rectly at the foot of the road from the main entrance to the water front, while the Atlanta lies to the east of the big dry dock. Going from the entrance to the Atlanta the officers of that vessel are obliged to pass the Boston, and very often they walk on board, mistaking her for their own vessel. Recently Captain Francis M. Bunce, who commands the Atlanta, boarded the Boston and walked down into the cabin. The arrangement of the furniture was somewhat different from that in his own vessel, but it was not until he had taken off his hat and seated himself that he noted his sur roundings and recognized his error. The surgeon of the Atlanta did the same thing. He walked into the state room in the Boston corresponding with his own on the other vessel, and it was the absence of some trinkets that adorn his quprterm thit led him to inquire where he was. The beat joke of the whole trouble, however, is on Lieutenant Bradley A. Fiske of the Atlanta. He was outin the yard a day or two ago drilling his gun squad, and when retreat from drill was sounded he marched the whole squad on board the Boston. He was at the rear of the squad, and his men had formed in line on the Boston's deck when he walked over the gangplank, and was saluted by Captain F. M Ramsey, who inquired: "Is this a boarding party?" A hearty laugh and explanation fol lowed this sally, and then Lieutenant Fiske marched his men back to their own quarters. The work on the batteries of the two vessels is progressing rapidly, and the Boston is expected to be ready for sea by to-morrow night. Monday she will steam three miles out to sea, try her and then return to the Navy Yard. eA Aata will also be in shipshape very soon. THE BURNED COMPRESS. A New One Going Up Beside it Before the Iron was Cold. (Charlotte Chronicle, Aug. 80.) The first intimation that a good many of our citizens had of the burned cotton com press, was when they opened their papers yesterday morning and saw the local, "still smoking" as it were. Crowds flocked to the platform all day yesterday to see the ruins, which were an odd looking sight, by the way. The frame building had been burned from around the compress, leaving the hugh iron machinery standing high in the air, the steam chests, cranks, beams and "teeth" warped by the heat. The ponder ouis machine was unbroken, but was ren dered useless by the heat. The platform for yards around had been burned on top, and looked as if somebody had given itsa coat of black paint, the sheds of the Rich mond and Danville depot were charred, and a half dozen blackened bales of cotton were scattered around. The next thing that attracted attention was a gang of workmen engaged in tearing up the platform just north of the still smoking ruins of the old compress, and digging a foundation for the erection of a new, Improved and more powerful press than the old one. The new press is to cost $50,000 and will be built by the Richmond and Danville and the Carolina Central roads. It will be of the latest improved Morse patent, and will have a capacity equal to that of the largest presses in the South. The build enclosing the press will be of brick. The excavation for the foun dation was almost completed yesterday, and will be finished up this morning, when brick laying will begin. It is expected to have the new press put up and in working order inside of sixty days, so that the de struction of the old press will not materially cripple the shipping business at this point. The new one is to be located half on the Richmond and Danville ground and half on the Carolina Central ground. The rail road had decided upon its erection some months ago, and the workmen and materials were en route here even while the old press was burning. The losses and insurance were as stated in yesterday's paper, $50, 000 on the press, with an insurance of $20, 000. The burned cotton belonycd to Mr. John Vanlandingham, and was insured. The fire originated on the second floor of the compress building, where there was a lot of waste material. It was beyond doubt the work of an incendiary. The en tire interior of the building was in flames betore the fire was discovered. Twenty-three New Cases of Fever. JAcxsoNVILLE, August 30.--Twenty three new cases of yellow fever were re ported to the board of health for the twen ty-four hours ending at 6 o'clock this after aoon. Among them are the members of several leading families, Father Kenney, Mtrs. Dr. R. P. Danial, Mrs. Susan Lengie snd 0. S. Keene. There were three deaths luring the same time: Lafayette Dancy, ::onfidential clerk of the internal revenue >ffice; Mrs. D. J. Crowley, wife of the manager of the Western Union Telegraph ,ftice, and David Luigie, an Italian. A aumber of patients have been discharged, but the record of discharges is no longer sept by the board of health. Young women whose hair is premature Ly silvered are at a premium in society just low.

A Big Al-American Team Will Snow the Australians the Game. (N. Y. Star, August 29.) Mr. A. G. Spalding, who returned fom his trip to Fire Island yesterday. was seen by a representative of the Star at his office regarding his Australi:n trip. on which he will be accompanied by the Chicago team, of which he is backer. His arrangements are about completed, and he has selected nearly all the players who are to accom pany him. "We will leave Chicago between October 20 and 26, and will sail from San Francisco November 15," said Mr. Spalding. "We have practically chartered the 3,000-ton steamship Alameda, and will have ample accomodations for from 75 to 100 passen gers. besides our own party, many of whom intend to take their fatpilies with them. "For the All-American team I have so far selected Mr. John Ward, of the New Yorks. as captain. The others are Fogarty and Wood. of the Philadelphias, Carroll, the catcher of the Pittsburgs, Tiernan, of the New Yorks, Hanlo-,, captain of the Detroits, and Mr. Kelly is waiting to close a contract with me. "I did not pay much attention to base ball while away, but the Chicago team is working very hard for the pennant, and should the team have the same luck as the New Yorks they will come very close to winning it. I suppose it is looked upon almost as heresy here in New York to say or even intimate that the New Yorkers will not win the pennant. "I will stand all expenses and pay all salaries. I am responsible for the success or failure of the trip. My object in visit ing Australia is to introduce our national game there, believing that when they see it played by professionals, the Australians will find enough merit in it to follow it up. Whether they will or not is a question." Mr. Spalding intends to make quite a point of cricket, and thinks on account of the superior batting ability of the ball players, that they will be able to give the Australians a lively tussle at their own game. Many of the Chicago team, are dailing practicing at cricket. Mr. Spald ing will take along two good bowlers; one of them, Rogers of the Detroit Cricket Club, is a wonder. Mr. Leo. S. Lynch went to Australia last February, and he arranged for the grounds and other details. He writes that the officials of several of the cities there will render all assistance possible to make the visitors comfortable and their trip a suc cess. Mr. Spalding left last night for Boston to confer with George Wright, the cricket player. If it is possible Mr. Spalding will induce him to make the trip. Fighting the Jute Bagging Trust. ALNTA. August 30.-Reports that insurance men would not take risks on cotton unless baled in jute bagging seem to be without foundation, so far as the riumpanies. in terc i are conceined. The agents of insurance companies at Wilmington, N. C., seem to be the only ones taking that stand, and they are only local agents, with no power in the Southeastern Tariff Association, which regulates such matters. A prominent officer in that association said to-day that there was no reason why cotton cloth or any other substitutes for bag ging should not be used; that jute bag ging was one of the most inflammable stuffsthat could be used, and so far as the insurance companies were concerned any substitute would be allowed. Wil mington merchants say they will not take cotton except in jute bagging. On the other hand Charleston factors in telegrams to cotton planters of Wilkes county, in this State, urge them to send their cotton and say they will receive it in cotton cloth or any other suitable substitute. In North Carolina pine straw cloth, such as matting is made of, is being used. *In North Georgia some factors are buying cotton- done up in pine boards. In other places non-com bustible cotton cloth is being used. The .farmers seem bound to break the back of the trust and they are receiving the moral support of the people. Very small sheets of note paper that go into the envelops without folding represent the very latest thing in fashionable station ery. Experience courts for a great deal in dis covering sea serpents. Men who have seen snakes in their boots are generally those who see sea serpents in the surf. There is no accounting for taste. The Chicago girl, for instance, gets just as much enjoyment out of at kiss as her Bos ton sister from interlabial communication. A man who was struck by a two-inch stream from a fire engine the other day has prepared a bill for the legislature, requir ing all fire companies to confine themselves to the use of soft water.
