PrrTSBCRO, July 19.—1n response to a telegram sent to Hon. ML S. Quay by the \ Associated Press correspondent of this i city, concerning a report published this morning that he would resign the Chair- j manship of the Republican National ' Executive Committee at the coming i meeting, the following was received to- night: "K. Q., Rochester, Va., July 19th.—It is probable, but not certain, that I will re- sign the Chairmanship of the Executive Committee on the '29th. M. S. (jvay." THE SENATOR INTERVIEWED. Pittsbitro. July 19. in an interview i to-day Mr. Quay said regarding the rumor : that he would retire from the chairman- Khip ofthe Republican National Commit- ', tee: "The time is approaching when ! work for the campaign of 1892 should bo j commenced. 1 don't want to take charge of that work. Still, I dont say positively I will resign from the chairmanship of the committee. It was my intention to ivtire immediately after Harrison's elec- tion, but circumstances well known to my colleagues on the committee pre- vented. My desire is to get out of a place j encumbered with so many duties. They I > never abated, and tho "time now comes when Ifeel at liberty to do so. The com- ing campaign has the forecast of being an \u25a0 educational one, and I think will be con- j ducted with vigor by both parties. The I man who manages the preliminary work i as Chairman of the Executive Committee | should be in a position now and hence- j forth to largely devote his time to its duties." Regarding his probable successor in case he resigns Senator Quay said that j while to his knowledge no letters have l>een sent to the members of the commit- tee asking to have General Clarkson suc- ceed him. it was generally conceded that j Mr. Clarkson would be chosen. He was well fitted for the position, but the Sena- i tor didn't know what action the commit- tee would take. Being asked his opinion of the national outlook. Senator Quay said: "It's too far ahead "to say much about it. I have no doubt that if Mr. Blame is a candidate he will receive the Republi- j can nomination. Mr. Cleveland seems to be in the lead on the Democratic side. | Pattison, I am told, is being favorably discussed by eminent Democrats outside ofPennsylvania, lie is popular, has a clean record, and would be a strong candidate." TIIOSE CONVICT MINERS. Tho laborers Petition for an Extra Session of tho .Legislature Chattanooga (Term.), July i;».—At a meeting of working people here to-day, at which sixteen trades were represented, U was unanimously resolved that tho present trouble at Brycevlllc is tho natu- ral ontcomo of long and persistent viola- tions of the law on the part of the mine owners.

It was also agreed to forward to the <;overnor the following petition: "We, the laborers and mechanic* of Hamilton County, in open meeting assembled, un- der tho auspices of the federation of trades, petition your Excellency to call, at tho earliest moment, a special session ofthe Legislator* to consider the peni- tentiary nnd convict lease system."

While she was examining some rings the man walked about the store, and went > out lor a cigar, returning in a few min- utes. T 1 ••» woman, who made no pur- chase, tin n went out with him. The diamonds were soon after missed, and the couple, having given false name-;, the detectives were put on their track. Howe's confederate has not yet been ap- ' prehended. MRS.

New York, July 19.—Dr. Arthur De Baussct, the French physician, engineer and scientist is here superintending the building of a new air ship, which he will exhibit at the Chicago Fair. The main part of the air ship is a steel cylinder, 72M feet long, the maximum diameter being Hi feet. Attached to tho cylinder is a car, 175 feet long, with accommodations for 200 passengers. The ship will be propelled by eight fan- wheol screws, each capable of displacing 900,000 cubic feet of air per minute. The propellers will bo worked by powerful dynamo engines. Electricity will be sup- plied by two thirty-horse power genera- tors. Minimum speed will be seventy miles per hoar, but Dr. De Bnnsoct claims that there is no reason in the world why Eu- rope should not be reached from America in less than twenty-four hours. The in- ventor says tho invention has been in- dorsed in writing by such men as Lieu- tenant John i\ Finlev of the United States Army, William It. Paine of the j American Society of Civil Engineers, j who was the engineer of the Brooklyn bridge, George \\. Nelvflleof the United Slates Navy, and E. Colbert, mathemati- i dan, as the only real solution of the prob- lem of aerial navigation. Rate War Likely.

The Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo, Wheeling and Lake Erie, and Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroads agreed upon a one-cent rate, and the Transporta- ! tion Committee of Ohio made these roads the official lines. A prominent member of the Michigan I'assonger Association said last night that it would lead to a gen- ! eral smash in rates on all lines. The ( Burlington and Ohio and Big Four would I be compelled to meet the rate or surrender the business, and, if several other big roads follow, the passenger associations ' would have a merry war upon thoir j hands. Steel Works IJurned. Sprixgfield (111.), July 19.—The plate mill of the Springfield Iron Company | was burnod this morning. It was leased to the Carbon Iron Company of Pitts- burg, and used in making the steel plate for the armored cruiser being constructed j by the Government at San Francisco, j The light machinery was ruined and the \ heavy machinery damaged.

Spppini io the Recohd-Uniox. Washington, July 19.—Tho autumn maneuvers of the squadron of evolution will take place in September, probably ut several plae.es between Portland and Del- aware Bay. The naval militia will be invited to join the maneuvers wherever its organisation warrants such participation. Tho militia will probably be called upon to defend its locality when the attacking party pots In an appearance. The general scheme, as at present :u-- ranged, contemplates the division of an enlarged Bquadron of evolution into two bodies of about equal efficiency. <>ue party will represent the enemy, and its movements and intentions will be un- known to the other party, beyond the fact that some portion or portions of the coast described will be subjected to an attack. The other division will be charged with tho defense of the coast. The naval authorities were well pleased I with the recent exercises, in which the naval militia took part. Both the squad- ron and militia were benefited. CZJSVS LAND'S CANDIDACY. Senator Morgan Does Not Think lie Will be Nominated* Washington, July 19.—.Senator Mor- gan has just reached Washington from his home in Alabama and talks freely about political topics and the feeling in the South where he has been since the adjournment of Congress; He does not believe Cleveland will be nominated. "There is," he says, "an earnest and patriotic following among the people of the South in regard to tho Presidential campaign next year. They feel grateful to him for having given them a chance tor the wonderful prosperity they are de- veloping. They have perfect confidence in his integrity and fidelity to Demo- cratic principles and policies. They are proud of liis administration, and agree with him in the suggestions in his tariff message to Congress. Believing this way they are very deeply attached to him and would give him lip with great re- luctance. "The Southern people," continued Morgan, "regard the antagonism to re- monetizing silver and its free coinage as a blow to the rights secured them by tho Constitution. They always have'been thorough themselves In this respect, and acted upon principle rather than refer- ence to mere expedient, and regard the refusal of men in their own party to re- i store silver to its proper functions and rights as a denial of one of the funda- mental doctrines ofthe Democratic party. They deplore the apparent opposition of Cleveland to the free coinage of silver and its remonetization almost as a calam- ity. They might be willing to delay a final demand for free coinage of silver, I but it would be with great reluctance. This is the doctrine and purpose of the I Democratic party, and those who think ! that the Democrats will yield are alto- ! gether mistaken." BEET SUGAR. Something About Its Production and Future In California. Washington, July in. The Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, in the course of a report upon the outlook for the beet : sugar production, has this to say: "The Western Beet Sugar Company of Cali- ! fornia proposes to make a very large I amount of sugar. This company has its j principal place of business at San Fran- cisco, Cal., and its factory is located at Watsonville, Santa Cruz County. The estimated number of acres of beets planted is 2.500. The probable yield in tons per acre is twelve. Tho estimated quantity ofbeets to be used is .;O,<«K) tons, < and the quantity of sugar capable of be- ' ing produced every twenty-four hours j *4,000 pounds. The quantity of sugar lproduced last season was 4,225,000! ! pounds. The estimated quantity of sugar to lc produced this year is 5,000,000 pounds. The Alamcda Sugar Company at Alvarado has l,lioo acres planted and oxiwcts to produce .'^OOO.OOO pounds of sugar. Tho Chino "\ alley Beet Sugar Company has 2,500 acres planted and ex- -1 pects a yield of 5,000,000 pounds.

An Angry M'lfo Chastises Her Un- faithful Husband. Nkw York, July 19. —A man giving the name of Louis Centreaux was among the steerage passengers who arrived on the La Bourgoyne from Havre to-day. Ho had with him a pretty little woman whom he introduced as his wife, but a few minutes later his statements wore found to be false. As soon as he landed an ang y woman met him and began belaboring him with an umbrella. It proved to be his wife, whom he deserted in Paris two weeks ago.

Two Women and Five Children Drowned—Hardships Endured by the SurvlvoTs. Spocial to the Recokd-Union. Halifax (N. S.), July 19.—Particulars were received by mail to-day of a har- rowing disaster on the Newfoundland coast. . The schooner Publico Belle was wrecked and two women and five children were lost. Captain Samuel Butts of the lost ves- sel states that the Publico Belle, with a crew of four men, left Cat-alma on the morning of Wednesday, the Bth inst., bound for St. Johns, with a cargo of lum- ber. There were also on board live women and five children as passengers. There came on a storm of wind and rain from 11:30 Wednesday night until day- light Thursday morning. The vessel lost her main sail and foresail succes- sively, and ran ashore on a cliff at 2:.30 o'clock Thursday morning. The crew let go the anchor, which checked the vessel, but the chum parted. William Rose jumped ashore and the Captain threw a line to him. By this means the rest ofthe crew got ashore. The following passengers were saved: Mrs. Rachel Burton, Miss Julia Burton and Miss Wells. Mrs. Freeman and Miss Caroline Higgins were drowned and the five children were also lost. Regarding the disaster Miss Wells writes: "IT was sitting on a locker and Miss Higgins was lying on part of it. All the others, tho children included, were in their berths. One of the crew came down for a rope. We asked him if there was a chance to be saved, lie said, 'Yes; don't say anything; it will be all right.' Tho water was then coining through the cabin lloor and was soon up to the lookers. All the children were taken out of' their berths and got ready to start for the deck. We were close into land, but a heavy sea was breaking over the rocks. When we reached the deck two of the crew were ashore, having taken off their boots and jumped onto the rocks. "One old man had tied a ropo around his waist, the other end held by a sailor on the rocks. He jumped and got ashore. The Captain was the only man then left on board. We all went over to the side where he was. He tied a rope around Miss Burton and she landed safely. While in the act of placing the rope around Mrs. Burton a heavy sea came and washed us all of the (lock. I caught the end of the rope which was in the Captain's hand and was hauled ashore with him, whilo a wave washed Mrs. Burton upon the rocks. But I never saw Mrs. Freeman or Miss Uiggius at all. Mrs. Freeman would in all probability have been saved had she abandoned her children, but the mother's love was too strong." Miss Wells also told a story of the severe privations met with beforo the party finally came across some men, one of whom took them to his house and cared lor them. She adds that it is her belief that all could have been saved had they been warned sooner. How to Kill a Cat. A number of people are interested in learning the best way of painlessly kill- ing animals, and we may usefully note a communication on tho subject ffom a correspondent of the English Mechanic. Ho writes: "The most merciful way of destroying cats is to chloroform them. Draw a sock (knitted one preferred, as being elastic) over pussy's head so that the toe of the sock is brought to her nose or nearly so: then pour about half a tea- spoonful of chloroform on the sock close to her nose. Almost as soon as she be- comes frightened by the unusual smell of chloroform she quietly goes off to sleep; a little more chloroform is added, porhaps twice, and pussy never wakes again." Tho First Armored Ships. The first account we have of an armored ship is in 1530. It was one of the fleets of the Knights of St. John, entirely sheathed with lead, and is said to have successfully resisted all the shot of that day. At the siege of Gibraltar, in 1782, the French and Spaniards em ployed light iron bomb- proofing over their decks. The first prac- tical use of wrought-iron plates as a de- fense for the sides of vessels was by the French in the Crimean war, in 1853, to be used against the Russian forts in the Baltic. <\u2666 . Patrick Mooro of Minersville, has an odd collection of chicken eggs, the pro- duct of one^hen. Each egg differs from the other in formation, and none bears a resemblance to an ordinary hen's egg. One is shaped like an interrogation point, i one like the letter S, but the most curious resembles a chick. The bead and wings aro plainly developed by the raised sur- face of the shell. HAPPENINGS ON THE COAST. More Trouble Looked for at the Washington Coal Mines. SAILOR MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY AT SAN PEDRO. Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide at Glenbrook Park—Roberts and Mul- ler Fljjht to a Draw at Vacavllle— Cochran, Martha Storry's Brutal Cousin, Jumps Ills Bail and Flees for Parts Unknown. Spocial to the RecorivUjtiox. Skatti.e (Wash.), July 19.—Sheriff Worley and four deputies went to Oil- man to-day on account of further trouble from the striking miners. Deputy Case yesterday took out a number ofrepeating rilles. The negro miners in tho com- pany's employ will move into the town to-morrow to take possession of their houses. The strikers declare that they will make it hot for the negroes. SENSATIONAL, DEVELOPMENTS. An Old Man Kept a Prisoner for Over a Year. Oakland, July 19.—The most startling sensation which lias involved Oakland parties in some time came to li^ht yester- day. This is no more or less than the fact that an old man has been kept in solitary confinement in an outhouse a few miles from here for nearly a year by persons who sought to get his property. The notorious Red House on the San Pablo road, just beyond the county line, is the scene of the story. It was gener- ally believed that this den, which for years had been tho scene of all sorts of gambling, prize-fights and even felonies, had been effectually broken up by Sheriff Hale. Old Peter de Viou still runs the place, however, and he is thought to be largely responsible for the more shocking details of the confinement. Secretary Theobald of the Humane So- ciety discovered the other day that De Vion had Gustavo dcs Rosier locked up in one of his old out-sheds for over a year, and with the evident intention of keeping him there until he would die. The mystery of the plot has beeu some- what unraveled by Mrs. Raves of this city, who is tho niece ot Dcs Rosier. She states that K. F. Simpson, otherwise known as Frank Simpson, a contractor and builder of this place, has been interested in concealing her uncle, who ha^ property amounting to something over |2,000, and that Simpson has taken advantage of tho nlfental weakness of the ' old mar.. Mr. Theobald visited the Red House yesterday and demanded that Dcs Rosier should l>e produced. On a bed in the corner of an out-house lay the emaciated form of an old man fully 70 years of age. His body, which was clothed only in an undershirt, was one mass of filth and sores. Dcs Rosier, it appears, is somewhat de- mented. Simpson, who is no kin to the old man, persuaded him to deed all of his property and money to him, he agreeing to care for the old man tho rest of his days. An effort will now be made to take the property away from Simpson and place it in the hands of Dcs Rosier's relatives. GONE TO THE SPRINGS. Cochran, Martha Storry's Brutal Cousin, Jumps His Ball. Sax Rafael, July 19.—Charles Coch- ran, the man who brutally assaulted his cousin, Miss Martha Storry, has evi- dently lied. Cochran was arrested Saturday on a warrant sVorn out by Constable Creed and was subsequently released after deposit- ing $2,000 bail. Yesterday District Attorney Cochran received word that the young lady was rapidly growing worse, so that her death was considered imminent. The District Attorney on hearing this immediately filed a complaint in .Justice Troy's court and Constable Hawkins of San Rafael was sent to Sausalito to re- arrest tho assailant. Upon his arrival there he made a diligent search for Coch- ran, but he was nowhere to be found. Probably Murdered. Sax Pedro, July 19.—Charles Eckman, a sailor, was found dead with his throat cut this morning. lie was a union man, and was discharged from the schooner Maria EL Smith yesterday. No money was found on his body, and as he was known to have had a considerable sum yesterday, foul play is suspected. The body was found in the part of town known as "Stingray Hollow." Eckman was a native of Finland, aged 33. Pnssenirer Trains Collide. Reno (Nev.), July 19.—The eastbound passenger train No. 2 collided with pas- senger train No. 1. westbound, last night at Clarks Station, twenty miles east of Reno. Three engines and a mail car were badly wrecked, and a tramp, heal- ing his way west on a brakebeam, was killed. The airbrakes of the eastbound train refused to work. Unsuccessful Attempt nt Suicide. Nkvada City, July 19.—William A. Findlcy, foreman of the Nevada County Lead Association's ranch, near Glen- brook Park, last night attempted suicide by shooting himself in the loft breast above the heart. The bullet followed the rib around to the back, where it lies just under the skin. He will probably re- cover. It Was A ' Draw. Vacavili.e, July 19.—Tbo athletic club here gave a boxing match last night for a five-hundred dollar purse, between Roberts and Muller (who defeated Rochotte of San Jose), before a large attendance. It was a good light, but the match was declared a draw. It will be settled some time during the week. Chinese Doctors Preferred. CABBOH (Nev.), July 19.—Ah Sing, ono of the Chinamen injured in the railroad at Lake Tahoe, was taken below to-night in a badly mangled condition for medical treatment by Chinese physicians, as the branch of the Chinese Six Companies here will not allow the local white physi- cians to handle tho case.

The Earl of Shrewsbury recently por- cbased the torture Implements of the Casiie of Nuremberg, and they ana now on exhibition in London. Tho most valuable, as it is the rarest of the whole collection, is the iron maiden [JSiserme Jungfrau). This terror-inspiring tor- ture instrument is made of strong wood, bound together with iron bands. It opens with two doors to allow the pris- oner to be placed inside. The entire doc* is fitted with long, sharp iron spikes, so that when the doors are pressed to these sharD prongs force their way into various portions of tho victim's body. Two entered hi> eyes, others pierced his back, his chest, and in {act, impaled him alive in such a manner that he lingered in the most agonizing torture. When death re- lieved the poor wretch from his agonies — perhaps alter days—a trap-door in the base was pulled open and "the body was allowed to fall into the moat or river be- low. Persons were condemned to death by the embraces of the iron maiden for plots against the governing powers, par- ricide, and religious unbelief. The date of this rare specimen is the fifteenth cen- tury. A great number of torture ma- chines were apparently constructed with such devilish ingenuity that they would twist and rack the delicate human body to the point of madness, and yet not actually endanger life. The torture-bench, about ten feet long, was used for stretching prisoners, the feet being fastened to one end, tho hands to the other across a roller studded with spikes called a "spiked hare." Tho torture-chair, the scat being com- pletely covered with sharp wooden spikes, body, arms and legs being strapped to the Chair, and in Borne eases two heavy stone weights attached to the feet. The metal boots, which, being placed on tue prisoner's feet, molten lead or boil- ing oil was poured into them. A ghastly relic in a black box of coffin- like appearance is the dried head of a child murderess still transfixed on a rusty spear-head. There are tongue-tearers.thumb-screws, mouth gags. Spanish gaiters for squeez- ing the legs to pulp, branding irons, foot- Bcrewß, iron chain gloves, to bo used when red-hot; iron nippers, iron-wire whips, heavy stones to be worn around the neck, thief-catchers, and a large number of two- handled executioners' swords. Of the humorous articles—if, indeed, humor can entjr into such grim companionship —wo may instance the Bhant-masks, or branks, worn as signs of degradation for slight offenses by men or women, those for the nobility having visors to them like hem- lets, so that the features were concealed till; tho penance was over; wooden col- lars, with bells and tassels for BColdsj ducking-stools and 'churn-shaped boxes, known as drunkards' cloaks—an un- comfortable garment fitting too tightly around the neck to allow tho head to be withdrawn, and, while too heavy to walk about in for any great length of time, yet not quite short enough to permit the wearer to kneel down in them. Among the pictures is one of Damien, of whom it may be remembered that, alter four horses had failed to pull him asunder, ho was afterward tortured with boiling oil, and, that not killing him, was finally bound to a stake and burned to death. Appropriately enough, the instruments are in a scries of dungeon corridors and cells that the Messrs. Tus- saud have erected in the basement of their establishment. Tho two cells selected for illustration are copied from the Museum of Antiquities, formerly the Prison of the Inquisition, in Antwerp, and have all the semblance of reality. The first dungeon coll is a small room about eight foot by five, so constructed that the air in it could bo pumped out, so that the inmate died a slow, siulbcating death; perhaps the refinement in cruelly was reached in tho plausible escape coll. It was a false beacon to an escaping pris- oner, a bait to a poor wretch who no doubt thought he was about to regain his freedom, may bo a connivance bought; he would hurry down tho dark stone cor- ridor to where the rusty gate unlocked or carelessly left ajar would welcome him to where the bit of shining sky seen through the barred window would glad- den his heart, and pushing open the gate with eager hands would at once stop into a deep well of water with perpendicular sides. THE THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION. It Has Boen Traced liack to Old Xorse Mythology. Everyone knows the superstitious dread that attaches to tho presence of thirteen around the table at a meal; but few know the supposed origin of the superstition. Of all these minor super- stitions, perhaps the most prevalent is that of sitting thirteen at a table. An idea of its prevalence among all nations may bo obtained by adverting to the well-known facts that tho Turks have almost expunged the number (18) from their vocabular3'; that the Italians never use it in making up tho numbers of their lotteries, and that the thirteenth card ia ono of their games boars the figure of death; that no house in Paris boars tho number 13, and that in that city the Quartorzienes are recognized persons in society who would hold themselves in readiness to be invited to any dinner which otherwise would have the fatal thirteen at the festal board. The thirteen superstition, briefly stated, is that if thirteen persons, either by accident or design, dine together at the samo table, ono will die within a year. Its origin has boon traced back to the old Norse mythology, in which occurs the story of tho gods sitting down to a feast with Loke in the Valhalla. Baldur was the thirteenth at the table, and had to die. It is hardly likely, though, that so obscure a tradition connected with an ancient faith limited to a comparatively small locale would be able to spread its pernicious inllnonce so broadcast over the earth. Tho popularly accepted origin may be taken as tho right one. Tho Last Supper, which so immediately preceded the crucifixion of the Savior, must always have excited a sentiment of awe in the breasts of the faithful, which in an unenlightened age easily degene- rated into a feeling of superstitious terror. Leonardo da Vinci, in his famous paint- ing on the wall in the refectory of the Dominican Convent of Santa-Maria-della- Gracie in Milan, unwittingly, perhaps, gave tho first impulse to the superstition in the minds of the ignorant masses who behold the twelve Apostles and the Master at table. To see before their eyes the fatal feast itself must have affected them far more profoundly than could the most eloquent sermon on the subject. In this picture, too, we see Judas in the act of spilling the salt; thus it is fair to presume that both superstitions have practically the same origin.— Be/ford's Magazine. It is said that in Munich, which con- sumes more beer than any other German city, tho family allowance of the amber riuid amounts to 565 quarts a year for every man, woman and child. WILL THE CABINET FALL? The Political Outlook ia France is Getting Serious. THE OPPOSITION PREDICTS A CRASH WITHIN THREE MONTHS. It Is Not Now IJollovcd That Do Froy- einot Will Resljrn-A Proposed Rus- sian Exposition In Paris—Alleged Troasonnblo Unions in Hanover— Troublo With Lazy Ex-Slaves In Rrnzll. Spceinl to the Rncoßrt-r.vrox. PAUB, .July id.—Tho press is generally satisfied thai IV Kreycinot will not re- sign tho Premiership. /), ,\i, ,7c says; The ruptuie of the Cabinet on such ground would be incomprehensible, alike to the Chamber and tho country. A change in the Government at present wo,ild signally encourage a strike of agitators. La Justice holds that the rebuffs recently experienced by the ministers must not be attributed to any combina- tion against them. Strength in a re- publican < Government must lie measured by the manner in which it responds to public opinion, not by votes having character unworthy of serious considera- tion. Several opposition organs predict tho fall of the Cabinet within throe months, saying that Constance and Perry are plotting t«> oust De Freydnet and seize the reins of Government. UOmte l>o Haussonville, representing ComteDe Harris, speaking at Neulouse, attacked Cardinal Lavigerio's movement in support of tho republic, saying that tho Clericals, desirous of forming a Catholic Republican party, were the vi.tims of an illusion. Tiic watchword of the French Republic was now, as always, "War against religion." It is his place, they say, to lay down the line of conduct for tiic clergy, inn tho policy of Cardinal La- vigore was not tho best way of defending tho interests of tho church. HAD A lIARI> TIME. Treatment of tho Now York's Crew at Iteornoi>. London, July I<>.—Forty of tho crew of tho wrecked British ship New York have arrived at Liverpool. The New York sailed from Swansea. February tith last, coal laden for San Francisco, she was Wrecked at New Year's Island, in tho Pacific, April 2Mb, and one of the crew was drowned. The Governor of Itcoraop, to whom the shipwrecked men applied for assist- ance, not only refused to give them cloth- ing, but compelled them, while bare- tooted, to drag lumber over tho snow. Alter five weeks of this hardship they escaped to Goshia, thence to Sandy roinjb, Where the British Consul sent them home. Brazil's Domestic Service. Washington, July i;».—a letter to the Bureau of American Republics says: "Since the emancipation of slaves in Brazil tho domestic service, as regards agricultural labor, has been greatly de- deinorali/.od. The former slaves refuse to work for love or money. The City Council of Rio Janeiro attempted to reg- ulate the domestic service 1 >yan ordinance, prohibiting a servant leaving a house- hold unless thirty days' notice was given, but the measure has been disapproved by the Minister of the Interior, whoso sanc- tion is necessary." Bismarck Falling. Bkiu.in, July 19.—According to a ru- mor the health of Prince Bismarck is much broken, and in the course of the last six months ho has aged in every way. His figure has become bowed when ho walks, and ho frequently complains of weakness with his sight and hearing. His wife and family arc seriously alarmed at his condition, and it is said that tho Princess has been warned by physicians that her husband is likely to drop dead from heart failure. Argentine AVI 11 Xot Treat. New- York, July 19.—Reports from Caracas state that tho Venezuela Congress refuses to negotiate a reciprocity treaty on the terms proposed by tho United States. Tho reasons given are that tho treaty stipulations would result in a seri- ous loss of revenue to Venezuela without any compensating advantages to her own producers in the shape of increased prices for agricultural products which they would be permitted under the proposed treaty to export to tho United States freo of diuy. Rescinding tho Inhibition. Paris, July 10.—The decree rescinding the prohibition of American pork, which takes immediate effect, simply enacts that the duty on American salt pork, hams and bacon, which paid H francs before prohibition, will now bo 20 francs per 100 kilos. In accordance with tho new tariff all prohibitions will be abolished. Tho immediate application of tho decree is duo to the persistent pressure brought to bear by United* States Minister Reid, es- pecially during the past fow weeks. Striking Railroad Mon. Parts, July 19.—Tho strike of railroad men continues here. Large, bodies of strikers this morning surrounded the depots and endeavored to prevent the men who have not struck from continu- ing work. The police managed to dis- perse the strikers and many railroad depots are now occupied by troops. Wholesale Arrests. Bkrt.in, July 19.—Tho polieo to-day arrested many persons and seized a largo number of documents in tho towns and villages of Hanover. It is said that tho documents prove tho existence of trea- sonable unions and clubs, subsidized by tho Duko of Cumberland. The clerical •papers, however, say this is only an ex- cuse for the confiscation of Guelph funds. Chilean, Revolution. Coquimbo, July 15.—Tho four insurgent vessels, the Esmoralda, Cochrano. Ama- zons and Aconaguia arrived off the bay- last night from Huaseo, and an attack on the town is hourly expected. It is sup- posed that a land attack by troops from Huaseo will be made on the town whilo Baliuaeeda's forces are repelling the war ships. Many persons are seeking safety by flight. Proposed Russian Exposition. Paris, Juljt 19.—A project has boon started with tho approval of several French Ministers to hold a Russian ex- position on the Champ do Mars. It is proposed to invite the Czar to the in- auguration of the show. There is a boy in Centreville, Ta., whoso hair always curls a day or two before the arrival of a storm.

PROBABLE, BUT NOT CERTAIN.

Quay Glvos Information lletrardimz IllsKumored Resignation.

PrrTSBCRO, July 19.—1n response to atelegram sent to Hon. ML S. Quay by the \Associated Press correspondent of this icity, concerning a report published thismorning that he would resign the Chair- jmanship of the Republican National 'Executive Committee at the coming imeeting, the following was received to-night:

"K. Q., Rochester, Va., July 19th.—It isprobable, but not certain, that Iwill re-sign the Chairmanship of the ExecutiveCommittee on the '29th. M. S. (jvay."

THE SENATOR INTERVIEWED.Pittsbitro. July 19. in an interview i

to-day Mr. Quay said regarding the rumor :that he would retire from the chairman-Khip ofthe Republican National Commit- ',tee: "The time is approaching when !

work for the campaign of 1892 should bo jcommenced. 1 don't want to take chargeofthat work. Still, Idont say positivelyIwill resign from the chairmanship ofthe committee. It was my intention toivtire immediately after Harrison's elec-tion, but circumstances well known tomy colleagues on the committee pre-vented. My desire is to get out of a place jencumbered with so many duties. They I

> never abated, and tho "time now comeswhen Ifeel at liberty to do so. The com-ing campaign has the forecast of being an \u25a0

educational one, and Ithink willbe con- jducted with vigor by both parties. The Iman who manages the preliminary work ias Chairman of the Executive Committee |should be in a position now and hence- jforth to largely devote his time to itsduties."

Regarding his probable successor incase he resigns Senator Quay said that jwhile to his knowledge no letters havel>een sent to the members of the commit-tee asking to have General Clarkson suc-ceed him. it was generally conceded that jMr. Clarkson would be chosen. He waswell fitted for the position, but the Sena- itor didn't know what action the commit-tee would take.

Being asked his opinion of the nationaloutlook. Senator Quay said:

"It's too far ahead "to say much aboutit. I have no doubt that if Mr. Blame isa candidate he will receive the Republi- jcan nomination. Mr. Cleveland seems tobe in the lead on the Democratic side. |Pattison, I am told, is being favorablydiscussed by eminent Democrats outsideofPennsylvania, lie is popular, has aclean record, and would be a strongcandidate."

CZJSVS LAND'S CANDIDACY.

Senator Morgan Does Not Think lieWill be Nominated*

Washington, July 19.—.Senator Mor-gan has just reached Washington fromhis home in Alabama and talks freelyabout political topics and the feeling inthe South where he has been since theadjournment of Congress;

He does not believe Cleveland will benominated.

"There is," he says, "an earnest andpatriotic following among the people ofthe South in regard to tho Presidentialcampaign next year. They feel gratefulto him for having given them a chancetor the wonderful prosperity they are de-veloping. They have perfect confidencein his integrity and fidelity to Demo-cratic principles and policies. They areproud of liis administration, and agreewith him in the suggestions in his tariffmessage to Congress. Believing thisway they are very deeply attached to himand would give him lip with great re-luctance.

"The Southern people," continuedMorgan, "regard the antagonism to re-monetizing silver and its free coinage asa blow to the rights secured them by thoConstitution. They always have'beenthorough themselves In this respect, andacted upon principle rather than refer-ence to mere expedient, and regard therefusal of men in their own party to re-

i store silver to its proper functions andrights as a denial of one of the funda-mental doctrines ofthe Democratic party.They deplore the apparent opposition ofCleveland to the free coinage of silverand its remonetization almost as a calam-ity. They might be willing to delay afinal demand for free coinage of silver,

I but it would be with great reluctance.This is the doctrine and purpose of the

I Democratic party, and those who think! that the Democrats will yield are alto-! gether mistaken."

PERILS OF THE SEA.

DETAILS OF A DISASTER OX THENEWFOUNDLAND COAST.

Two Women and Five Children

Drowned—Hardships Endured

by the SurvlvoTs.

Spocial to the Recokd-Union.Halifax (N. S.), July 19.—Particulars

were received by mail to-day of a har-rowing disaster on the Newfoundlandcoast. .

The schooner Publico Belle was wreckedand two women and five children werelost.

Captain Samuel Butts ofthe lost ves-sel states that the Publico Belle, with acrew of four men, left Cat-alma on themorning of Wednesday, the Bth inst.,bound for St. Johns, with a cargo of lum-ber. There were also on board livewomen and five children as passengers.There came on a storm of wind and rainfrom 11:30 Wednesday night until day-light Thursday morning. The vessellost her main sail and foresail succes-sively, and ran ashore on a cliffat 2:.30o'clock Thursday morning.

The crew let go the anchor, whichchecked the vessel, but the chum parted.William Rose jumped ashore and theCaptain threw a line to him. By thismeans the rest ofthe crew got ashore.

The following passengers were saved:Mrs. Rachel Burton, Miss Julia Burtonand Miss Wells. Mrs. Freeman and MissCaroline Higgins were drowned and thefive children were also lost.

Regarding the disaster Miss Wellswrites: "IT was sitting on a locker andMiss Higgins was lying on part of it.All the others, tho children included,were in their berths. One of the crewcame down for a rope. We asked him ifthere was a chance to be saved, lie said,'Yes; don't say anything; it will be allright.' Tho water was then coiningthrough the cabin lloor and was soon upto the lookers. All the children weretaken out of' their berths and got readyto start for the deck. We were close intoland, but a heavy sea was breaking overthe rocks. When we reached the decktwo of the crew were ashore, havingtaken offtheir boots and jumped onto therocks.

"One old man had tied a ropo aroundhis waist, the other end held by a sailoron the rocks. He jumped and got ashore.The Captain was the only man then lefton board. We all went over to the sidewhere he was. He tied a rope aroundMiss Burton and she landed safely.While in the act of placing the ropearound Mrs. Burton a heavy sea cameand washed us all of the (lock. I caughtthe end of the rope which was in theCaptain's hand and was hauled ashorewith him, whilo a wave washed Mrs.Burton upon the rocks. But Inever sawMrs. Freeman or Miss Uiggius at all.Mrs. Freeman would in all probabilityhave been saved had she abandoned herchildren, but the mother's love was toostrong."

Miss Wells also told a story of thesevere privations met with beforo theparty finally came across some men, oneof whom took them to his house andcared lor them. She adds that it is herbelief that all could have been saved hadthey been warned sooner.

How to Kill a Cat.Anumber of people are interested in

learning the best way of painlessly kill-ing animals, and we may usefully notea communication on tho subject ffom acorrespondent of the English Mechanic.Ho writes: "The most merciful way ofdestroying cats is to chloroform them.Draw a sock (knitted one preferred, asbeing elastic) over pussy's head so thatthe toe of the sock is brought to her noseor nearly so: then pour about half a tea-spoonful of chloroform on the sock closeto her nose. Almost as soon as she be-comes frightened by the unusual smell ofchloroform she quietly goes offto sleep; alittle more chloroform is added, porhapstwice, and pussy never wakes again."

Tho First Armored Ships.The first account we have ofan armored

ship is in 1530. Itwas one of the fleets ofthe Knights ofSt. John, entirely sheathedwithlead, and is said to have successfullyresisted all the shot of that day. At thesiege of Gibraltar, in 1782, the Frenchand Spaniards em ployed light iron bomb-proofing over their decks. The firstprac-tical use of wrought-iron plates as a de-fense for the sides of vessels was by theFrench in the Crimean war, in 1853, to beused against the Russian forts in theBaltic.

<\u2666 .Patrick Mooro of Minersville, has an

odd collection of chicken eggs, the pro-duct of one^hen. Each egg differs fromthe other in formation, and none bears aresemblance to an ordinary hen's egg.One is shaped like an interrogation point, ione like the letter S, but the most curiousresembles a chick. The bead and wingsaro plainly developed by the raised sur-face of the shell.

SENSATIONAL, DEVELOPMENTS.

An Old Man Kept a Prisoner for Overa Year.

Oakland, July 19.—The most startlingsensation which lias involved Oaklandparties in some time came to li^ht yester-day. This is no more or less than thefact that an old man has been kept insolitary confinement in an outhouse afew miles from here for nearly a year bypersons who sought to get his property.

The notorious Red House on the SanPablo road, just beyond the county line,is the scene of the story. It was gener-ally believed that this den, which foryears had been tho scene of all sorts ofgambling, prize-fights and even felonies,had been effectually broken up by SheriffHale. Old Peter de Viou still runs theplace, however, and he is thought to belargely responsible forthe more shockingdetails of the confinement.

Secretary Theobald of the Humane So-ciety discovered the other day that DeVion had Gustavo dcs Rosier locked upin one of his old out-sheds for over ayear, and with the evident intention ofkeeping him there until he would die.The mystery of the plot has beeu some-what unraveled by Mrs. Raves of thiscity, who is tho niece ot Dcs Rosier. Shestates that K. F. Simpson, otherwiseknown as Frank Simpson, a contractorand builder of this place, has beeninterested in concealing her uncle, whoha^ property amounting to somethingover |2,000, and that Simpson has takenadvantage of tho nlfental weakness of the

' old mar..Mr. Theobald visited the Red House

yesterday and demanded that Dcs Rosiershould l>e produced. On a bed in thecorner of an out-house lay the emaciatedform of an old man fully70 years of age.His body, which was clothed only in anundershirt, was one mass of filth andsores.

Dcs Rosier, it appears, is somewhat de-mented. Simpson, who is no kin to theold man, persuaded him to deed all of hisproperty and money to him, he agreeingto care for the old man tho rest of hisdays.

An effort willnow be made to take theproperty away from Simpson and placeit in the hands of Dcs Rosier's relatives.

Eckmanwas a native of Finland, aged 33.

FROM THE DARK AGES.Horrible Instruments of Tortnro Now

on Exhibition In I,ondon.

The Earl of Shrewsbury recently por-cbased the torture Implements of theCasiie of Nuremberg, and they ana nowon exhibition in London. Tho mostvaluable, as it is the rarest of the wholecollection, is the iron maiden [JSisermeJungfrau). This terror-inspiring tor-ture instrument is made of strong wood,bound together with iron bands. Itopens with two doors to allow the pris-oner to be placed inside. The entire doc*is fitted with long, sharp iron spikes, sothat when the doors are pressed to thesesharD prongs force their way into variousportions of tho victim's body. Twoentered hi> eyes, others pierced his back,his chest, and in {act, impaled him alivein such a manner that he lingered in themost agonizing torture. When death re-lieved the poor wretch from his agonies —perhaps alter days—a trap-door in thebase was pulled open and "the body wasallowed to fall into the moat or river be-low. Persons were condemned to deathby the embraces of the iron maiden forplots against the governing powers, par-ricide, and religious unbelief. The dateof this rare specimen is the fifteenth cen-tury. A great number of torture ma-chines were apparently constructed withsuch devilish ingenuity that they wouldtwist and rack the delicate human bodyto the point of madness, and yet notactually endanger life.

The torture-bench, about ten feet long,was used for stretching prisoners, thefeet being fastened to one end, tho handsto the other across a roller studded withspikes called a "spiked hare."

Tho torture-chair, the scat being com-pletely covered with sharp wooden spikes,body, arms and legs being strapped to theChair, and in Borne eases two heavy stoneweights attached to the feet.

The metal boots, which, being placedon tue prisoner's feet, molten lead or boil-ing oil was poured into them.

A ghastly relic in a black box of coffin-like appearance is the dried head of achild murderess still transfixed on arusty spear-head.

There are tongue-tearers.thumb-screws,mouth gags. Spanish gaiters for squeez-ing the legs to pulp, branding irons, foot-Bcrewß, iron chain gloves, tobo used whenred-hot; iron nippers, iron-wire whips,heavy stones to be worn around the neck,thief-catchers, and a large number of two-handled executioners' swords. Of thehumorous articles—if, indeed, humor canentjr into such grim companionship —womay instance the Bhant-masks, or branks,worn as signs of degradation for slightoffenses by men or women, those for thenobility having visors to them like hem-lets, so that the features were concealedtill; tho penance was over; wooden col-lars, with bells and tassels for BColdsjducking-stools and 'churn-shaped boxes,known as drunkards' cloaks—an un-comfortable garment fitting too tightlyaround the neck to allow tho head to bewithdrawn, and, while too heavy to walkabout in for any great length of time, yetnot quite short enough to permit thewearer to kneel down in them.

Among the pictures is one of Damien,of whom it may be remembered that,alter four horses had failed to pull himasunder, ho was afterward tortured withboiling oil, and, that not killinghim, wasfinally bound to a stake and burned todeath. Appropriately enough, theinstruments are in a scries of dungeoncorridors and cells that the Messrs. Tus-saud have erected in the basement oftheir establishment. Tho two cellsselected for illustration are copied fromthe Museum of Antiquities, formerly thePrison of the Inquisition, in Antwerp,and have all the semblance of reality.The first dungeon coll is a small roomabout eight foot by five, so constructedthat the air in it could bo pumped out, sothat the inmate died a slow, siulbcatingdeath; perhaps the refinement in cruellywas reached in tho plausible escape coll.Itwas a false beacon to an escaping pris-oner, a bait to a poor wretch who nodoubt thought he was about to regain hisfreedom, may bo a connivance bought;he would hurry down tho dark stone cor-ridor to where the rusty gate unlocked orcarelessly left ajar would welcome himto where the bit of shining sky seenthrough the barred window would glad-den his heart, and pushing open the gatewith eager hands would at once stop intoa deep well of water with perpendicularsides.

THE THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION.It Has Boen Traced liack to Old Xorse

Mythology.

Everyone knows the superstitiousdread that attaches to tho presence ofthirteen around the table at a meal; butfew know the supposed origin of thesuperstition. Of all these minor super-stitions, perhaps the most prevalent isthat of sitting thirteen at a table. Anidea of its prevalence among all nationsmay bo obtained by adverting to thewell-known facts that tho Turks havealmost expunged the number (18) fromtheir vocabular3'; that the Italians neveruse it in making up tho numbers of theirlotteries, and that the thirteenth card iaono of their games boars the figure ofdeath; that no house in Paris boars thonumber 13, and that in that city theQuartorzienes are recognized persons insociety who would hold themselves inreadiness to be invited to any dinnerwhich otherwise would have the fatalthirteen at the festal board.

The thirteen superstition, brieflystated, is that if thirteen persons, eitherby accident or design, dine together atthe samo table, ono will die within ayear. Its origin has boon traced back tothe old Norse mythology, in which occursthe story of tho gods sitting down to afeast with Loke in the Valhalla. Baldurwas the thirteenth at the table, and hadto die. It is hardly likely, though, thatso obscure a tradition connected with anancient faith limited to a comparativelysmall locale would be able to spread itspernicious inllnonce so broadcast over theearth. Tho popularly accepted originmay be taken as tho right one.

Tho Last Supper, which so immediatelypreceded the crucifixion of the Savior,must always have excited a sentiment ofawe in the breasts of the faithful, whichin an unenlightened age easily degene-rated into a feeling of superstitious terror.Leonardo da Vinci, in his famous paint-ing on the wall in the refectory of theDominican Convent ofSanta-Maria-della-Gracie in Milan, unwittingly, perhaps,gave tho first impulse to the superstitionin the minds of the ignorant masses whobehold the twelve Apostles and the Masterat table. To see before their eyes the fatalfeast itself must have affected them farmore profoundly than could the mosteloquent sermon on the subject. In thispicture, too, we see Judas in the act ofspilling the salt; thus it is fairto presumethat both superstitions have practicallythe same origin.—Be/ford's Magazine.

Itis said that in Munich, which con-sumes more beer than any other Germancity, tho family allowance of the amberriuid amounts to 565 quarts a year forevery man, woman and child.
