Mr Gladstone Entertains the

Crown Heads.

The Berlin correspondent of the " Now York Sun " writes:—Mr Gladstone returned to London yesterday in fine health and spirits from his triumphant excursion to the north. Tho ectire Continental press was in convulsions over his meeting with the Emperor of Russia, which was taken to possess the deepest political significance and to portend nothing less than an English and Russian alliance as an offset to the threatening compact of Germany and Austria. Even now tho wildest con jectures are afloat about it. But the truth is that Mr Gladstone was simply enjoying a splendid spree at his own expense around tho Scotch coast, and, the weather being fine, it was decided to go to Copenhagen for a day. On arriving there the great English commoner did what no commoner ever did before him. by inviting to luncheon with him, on the Pembroke Castle, the entire aggregate of Imperial and royal splendors as sembled in Copenhagen, consisting of the Emperor and Empress of Russia, the King and Queen of Denmark, the King and Queen of Greece, the Princess of Wales, and Crown Princes and Princesses, Ambassadors, Ad mirals, and statesmen without numbers. Mr Gladstone did tho honours of his table on board his vessel with unaffected cordi ality. Champagne corks popped just as at feasts more democratic, the various crowned heads unbent into positive geniality, drank freely to the various sentiments proposed, and underwent with exalted good nature a reading of selections from his own poems by Mr Tennyson. Such an indulgence in formal festivity, to say nothing of the actual human relaxation involved, was never known on the part of assembled royalty before, It remained for Mr Gladstone, the only Prime Minister of England who ever took a holiday out of tho country, to accom plish the feat; and with his private Radi cal proclivities and his strong senso of humour, he must have enjoyed it immensely.

Narrow Escape of a British Vice- Consul at New York.

New York, Sept. 25.—There was great oxcitement in tho neighbourhood of tho British Consulate this afternoon, caused by the report of two pistol-shots and the spectacle of a hatless man running at the top of his speed. The fugitive was pur sued and captured by a policeman. He gave tho name of Feeney, and it was, then learned that he had attempted i the life of W. R. Hoare, second . British Vice-Consul, by firing two shots at him. When the prisoner was taken to the station-house, he described himself au John A. Feeney, aged 26 years, on Irishman by birth and a coachman by trade. Hia appearance was sickly, and he said he had recently been discharged • from a hospital in Buffalo. He declared that he had come from Canada on purpose to kill th« British Consul, who had been libelling his character. It was evident that he was of unsound mind. A complaint being preferred against him by Edmund Prentiss and David Oaks, jun.,of the British Consul's office, he was taken to the Tombs Police Court for examination. When Feoney entered the room of the British Consulate he drew a seven-chambered revolver and fired two shots, apparently without any definite aim, and without hitting any ono. He was arrested imme diately after. Feenoy was held for trial, although he Is evidontly insane. He will bo examined by a physician. In Court he acted in a wild, excited manner, shouting out that ho wanted to kill the villains who had accused him of crime and published stories against his character. To a roporter Feeney said he had been ar rested in Dublin without cause and locked up in Kilmainham Gaol. While there ho was offered £500 to swear falsely against a fellow prisoner. He refused, and when it became known that ho had informed others of the offer made to him ho was locked up in a stage coach and conveyed to Liverpool, whero he was placed on board the Circassia and landod in Toronto, Can. There he was S'nced in the insane ward of a hospital, c was finally released and went to Buffalo five weeks ago, On Monday he came here intending to try and get baokto Ireland. Yesterday he went to the British Consulate and asked what commissions they had received from London about him. He was told that they knew nothing about him. To-day ho went thero again and asked the name of tho person who was pub lishing blasphemous stories against his character. " They laughed at mo," he said, "and I then criei, 'Defend yourself; I'll lose my life for my charactor,' and fired," Nothing is known about Feeney in this city, and no doubt of his insanity is expressed.

A Brutal Criminal Burned to Death.

Nkw York, October 15.—A despatch to the " Herald " from Calcasieu, La., says :— A negro named Lewis Woods was tried and convicted at the last term of Court for criminally assaulting a coloured girl, but escaped from gaol in less than a week. After his escape ho committed the same crime on a white lady, which so enraged the people that everybody turned out to pursue him. He, together with another escapod convict—a white murderer named Martin— was finally captured by a sheriff in Texas, and were taken on the train for Lake Charles.

When they reached Edgerley station, however, a large crowd had gathered, The Sheriff perceived this, and throw a quilt, which was in the oar, over Martin, so that the mob saw only ono negro. They seized tho latter and dragged him a short distance from the depot, where they chained him to a tree and oovered him with pine knots and chips. The pile was then lighted. The agony of tho man was bo intense that his horrible cries and shrieks could be heard a long distance After he was dead the crowd started for tho gaol to gefc-fe murderer Martin qaJL»bct~&e Sheriff had secreted himn--^' -

Swift Justice Dealt Out to a Carolina Brute.

Chicago, September 23.— Tho "Tri bune's" Columbia (S.C.) special says: In tho .northern part of Sumter country, in what is known as tho Bull regi»n country, a burley, brutal negro named Dick Single ton, who is of immense size, assaulted a little white girl named Bettio Dickson, the daughter of a highly-esteemed planter. The girl, who is but 12 years of *ge and qn usually intelligent and attractive, was in the company of an elder sister somo little distance from hovn.e, p.n, tl^e borders of a piece of woodltrnd., Tvhere they had gone to gather grapes. TJie eld.er sister, Trh.o. fought with almost superhuman strength to protect the younger sister, was stabbed by the negro. At first it was sup posed the wound was not dangerouß, but later developments indicate that it is probably fatal. The negro, who is married, filed to his cabin and made no further effort to escape. Last night, about two hours after the crime, a sufficient number of citizens had boon notified and a meeting was hold. It was rosolved without ft dissenting voice that tho negro should bo shot. They mounted their horses, and, without masks, rode quietly down to the negro's house, surrounded it, took him out tc the scene of tho outrage, tied him to a tree, riddled him with bullets, and left the body tied to thetree. The little girl lies in a precarious condition and will probably die. •

The Czar's Sentence to Death.

New York, October 14. —The^ " ing Journal" says : Tho story cabled from Europe during the past week that the Czar has bepn. formally sentenced to death by the Nihilists created quito an excitement among the Nihilistic and Socialistic revolu tionists in this city. It has been known for somo time that Russian detectives have watched the movements of these worthies in New York, and reports that one of thorn had left for Europe on asteamer yesterday seemed to give point to the rumour that one of tho Now York Nihilists was to take an active part in tho threatened assassina tion of tho Czar. A woll-known detective says : " Tho man who sailed yqatovday is a notorious opn?pirator, and is well-known to the authorities of this country. My own acquaintance with him datos over six months back. He is a round-headod, foro oious creature, and by his bulldog propen sity to lose sight even of his own safety in clamouring for vengeanco upon tho Czar, we have learned much easily that might other wise have cost time and infinite trouble." "Isn't it possible that the despatch may have been purely a sensational one?" "Whether it be sensational or not, the Russian officials in this country are worked up over tho matter, and en the other side of the water police precautions have been redoubled. Private advices received from St. Petersburg assure us that members of the royal family are deeply concerned at the aspect of affairs, and that even the iron nerve of the Czar has given way beneath his incessant and cruel apprehensions." The news from St. Petersburg shows a singular renewal of activity among the Nihilists." A great sensation has been caused by the summary arrests at the Miria Institute of several daughters of fhft ncihloat families in Russia, Not only have the pupils been arrdsted, but seizures of pro perty have been made, including, many thousand treasonable pamphlets and'propa

gniida tracts. It is said to be the beginning of a series ef arrests consequent upon special Information received by the police.

The Woolwich Rocket Factory Blown up and Many Buildings Destroyed.

London, Sept. 24.—The rocket factories at the Woolwich Arsenal exploded to-day. The explosion was caused by a fire in the main building, which included tho labora tory. The building was destroyed within half an hour after the fire broke out. It con tained an immense number of war-rockets, which were filled with destructive missiles. The latter flew in all directions, many being projected to and falling upon the other side of the Thames. Tho explosives caused a fearful destruction of property through out the town and in the surrounding district. The fire was extinguished at noon, when the rockets ceased their ex plosions. Old soldiers hero declare that the explosions of rockets during the fire were as frightful aa if occurring in an actual siege. Two bodies of victims of the ex plosions have been found. Some of the war rockets were projected a distance of five miles. One of them went through the wall of the arsenal, and another struck the artillery barracks. Rockets also fell in Erith, Elshara, Charlton, and Ilford. One of them plunged into a school for infants at Plumpstead, another entered a draper's shop in Woolwich, and still another wrecked a grocery store. Thero was the wildest panic in Woolwich, but there was no loss of life with the exception of the two persons mentioned, who were employed in tho arsenal. The principal damage was confined to the rocket factory, which will involve a loss of f2,000.

Thirty-eight Women Perish in a Synagogue in Russia.

London', October 15.—A shocking acci dent is reported from Bodolia, one of the Russian provinces, In the town of Cracow, during service in the synagogue on Satur day, some person cried out that the edifice was on fire. A panic immediately en sued. Men, women, ond children arose and attempted to gain the doors. The strong trampled on the weak, and for the period of a minute the situation was appal ling. 38 women were either trampled to death or suffocated, and nearly 50 were eerioußly injured. Five aged men and at least a dozen children were taken out dead. Tho number wounded, while not exactly stated, is said to be large. Nearly 2,000 persons were in the synagogue when the alarm was sounded. Many of the women in the galleries leaped down to the main floor, and were so bruised and stunned that they could not extricate themselves from the panic-stricken throng. It was not until late in the afternoon that the wounded were cared for. An official investigation of the disaster has been ordered.

German War Preparations.

New Yobk, October 14. —A - cable special from London says: Warlike pre parations all along the Russian frontier are incessant. The Germans are working on the lines of defence night and day. A number of ironclad turret ships are being con structed. It is said that the fortifications, when completed, will be greater than thoie of Metz. The gunboat stations on the Vistula have been increased. General Gourke began this week a fresh military in spection of the Russian lines for the defence of the Vistula. In an interview which recently took place between Princo Bismarck and Ghazi Mukhtar Pasha, it we(j reported that he persuaded Mukhtar to advise the Porte that the Sultan should enter the German alliance.

The Situation in Peru.

Pavama, October 14.—Matters in Peru continue to improve, and it is believed that before the present- month expires the Iglesia troops will occupy Lima. The people are commencingto flock to Montenero's cause now, as they gee he is acquiring strength and prestige, and really works for peace. The whole of the north is now governed by his officers, who probably may have to break up some small Montenero bands which are prowling about the Cordilleras. In Lima and Callao the opinion is almost unanimous in his favour. Montenero, how ever, refuses to resign or assist in the pacification of the country, so the Chileans have determined to surround him, and compel him to surrender.

A Maniac Mother's Crime.—She Kills Her Five Children and Commits Suicide.

New York, October 4.—A special to the "Herald" from Laredo, Tex., gives full particulars of a moat horrible tragedy that occurred on Wednesday near that pla.ee. Mrs Valdez killed her five children and then herself during a fit of insanity. On one of the large ranches about twenty miles to the southward of Lampasas there lived for four years past a quiet, well-to-do Mexican named Antonio Valdez, whose family consisted of a wife and five children, the age of the eldest child being 10 years and of the youngest 2 years. The wife, who was about 30 years of age, had been subject to epileptic fits and spells of melancholy of long dura tion. During the past few months she has exhibited many evidences of insanity, and when in such mental aberration invariably sought to do violence to her little emeu. On "Wednesday the afflicted woman was at taokefl with a fit of unusual sorority. When sho had recovered from the spasm her hus band went to work to herd a flock of sheep belonging to the ranch. He had been gone but a short time when his wife rose from her couch, and with a huge butcher-knife, which had been carelessly left within her roach, began her terrible work of destruc tion. Her eldest child, a sweet girl of 10, was the. first to fall a victim to her maniao .mother's cruel blows, her hei\d twig almost severed from, her body■ With thftt method peculiar to insane peraon.s, tho woman in (mick succession slew the other children, hacking and stabbing them in a shocking manner.

The frantic woman, after the five bleed ing corpses lay at her feet, viewed then) with grim satisfaction, filling the air with wild and weird exclamations. Suddenly, taking a parting look at the dead before her, sne plunged the knife into her ovrn breast, reeled to a corner of the room, and fell dead. During all the time th.ja horrible tragedy was being' <ro.aote4 her. servwg woman a won, was powerless to prevent it, from, ftpject fear.' The husband was sppn appryjea of what b,a.d happened., His }amen.tations were pitiable in the extreme, and he could not be consoled. In due time tho neighbours oame, and speedy arrangements were made to bury the dead. Six graves were dug, and the next morning the funeral rites were performed.

Fatal Boiler Explosion.—Disas trous Accident in a Pittsburg Iron Mill.

Pittsbdro, September 20.—Between one and two o'clock this afternoon a shock was felt throughout the city which shook many buildings to their foundation, smashed win dows, and terribly frightened the residents of the south sido, who rushed from their houses into the street. Immediately after the shock an alarm of fire was struck. Upon investigation it was found that the large boilers in the flanging department of the Sligo Iron Works had exploded with f oarfpl violence, scattering the flying fragments in every direction, setting fire to the Lake Erie Railroad shop and a number of dwell ing-houses in the vicinity. News of the disaster spread like wildfire) and. soon thousands of people wero on the way to the spene of destruction. Upon arriving there, a fearful eight met their gaze. The boiler department, a brick structure, was a complete wreck, as were also a number of passenger and freight cars, and the master mechanic's shops of the Lake Erie Railroad, while a row of dwellings on the opposite side of %\\q street wero in flames. Men, women, and children wero runnjng about wringing their hands and calling for friends whom they supposed were either' killed or ■wounded in the ruins of the flanging de partment. Scattered around. wero t the dead anddyinjjj, some with arms and legs off, some disfigured almost bbyb'nd recognition, and others suffering from painful burns and soalds. By this time the police had arrived in force, and the work of removing the killed and injured from the ruins was begun. It was found that at the time of the ex plosion twenty men were'at work. Of these nine were reported all right. Three men were killed and eight badly injured, four fatally, while four children of Charles Douglass, who lived across the way, were also bu/Uy hurt. The neighbours did all they oould to relieve the sufferers. The boiler was an upright one, six" feet in diameter, and was split into four frag ments, the largest being blown 200 ; feet^ landing in the middle of the MonongaJiela' River. It is not known what caused the explosion. It was just after tie* dinner hour, and steam hud b,een, turned on, oiily a few minutos wjien it expjodpd. $he Coro ner hag empaneJVeil ;i jnry, and a 'thorough investigation will be made. The Sligo Iron Works were formerly owned by Lyon, Sharp, and Co., but are now the property of Phillips, Merrick, and Co. Their loss is estimated at $10,000. The loss to the

Jririe Eailroad and dwellings U about •toy following persons were instantly killed :—John W. Allen, top of head blown off; Charles Douglass, side of head blown off; John McGavigan, scalded and sides crushed in. The following were injured :— Louis House, leg and arm broken and other wise injured, probably fatally; William Stewart, both legs broken, injuries believed to be fatal; William Rodeman, compound fracture of the right leg and other injuries probably fatal; Thomas Smith, hand blown off and other injuries, probably fatal- Christopher Miller, badly scalded; Edward Malley, badly hurt by falling debris • Patrick Lee, leg and arm blown off, serious • Patrick Welsch, shoulder-blade fractured • John Douglass, boy, scalded seriously- Jessie Douglass, little girl, scalded seriously- Willie Douglass, injured about the head • Baby Douglass, scalded with steam, very serious. Later. —Louis House and Jessie Douglass have since died, and William Stewart and Christopher Miller are not expected to live through the night. A White Man Brutally Tortured by Six Negroes. New Orleans, October 4.—At Province Natchitoches parish, on Sunday night, six negroes, section hands on the New Orleans and Pacific Railroad, and^Ned Bradfield, or Bradford, sat down to play a game of cards. Luck was in favour of Bradfield, who suc ceeded, during the progress of the game, in winning all the money of the other gamesters. The losers, incensed at their losses, became violent in their demonstra tions against Bradfield, and insisted on his returning tho money he had won. Naturally he refused. An attempt was then made to take from him his money. Ho resisted violently, and so angered his as sailants that in their rage they threw tho unlucky winner upon a log .fire and held him down over the blaze, holding him by each leg and arm. Bradfield in his agony managed to wrench himself from the grasp of the negroes, but not till he was terribly burneJ. His hair and scalp, one hand and arm were completely burned away. In this mutilated condition he managed to walk several miles in search of assistance. Remedies were applied, but the man died in great agony on Monday. The fact* of the murder were kept concealed until yester day, when warrants were issued for the arrest of the perpetrators. They ore known to be a desperate gang, and are believed to hare killed their section boss a few days before the assault upon Bradfield, although up_on preliminary examination for that crime they were discharged, it being lm» possible to secure evidence against them.

A Disastrous Earthquake.

ConstantinopliT, October 17.—1t Is re ported that much damage to property 'and great loss of life has oeen caused by an earthquake on the peninsula between Chesme and Menor, opposite Chios and Vourla, on the southern coast of the gulf of Smyrna. All villages in that region art de stroyed. It is believed upward of 1,000 per sons perished. Survivors of the disaster art suffering fearful privations. A complete panic prevails.

FIELD NATURALISTS' CLUB.

Members of this Club with their friends, to the total Dumber of 112, left Queen-street Wharf in the p.s. Tainui, at 9 o'clock on Fri day morning, bound for Rakino Island, out side of Motutapu, The run down occupied a pleasant two hours, at the end of which the steamer came to anchor in a semi-circular bay, opposite the island's only house A large proportion of the excursionists landed 1b boats, while the rest went on further in the steamer to one of tho two Otatou Islands, hoping, as ardent naturalists, to bo rewarded with new and rare plants, and possibly animals. Their expectations, however, were scarcely real ised, for they got no new vegetable speci mens, and schnapper, which was caught in abundance, can scarcely bo reckoned a rarity.. Mr Checseman, the Club's inde fatigable secretary, found a specimen of the only melon indigenous to New Zealand (sicyos.angulata). Its fruit, at maturity, is only about the size of a bean. Other rarities were the hymenanthua, and the rhagodia (very uncommon) which latter also occurs at Rakino. Several orchids, most of them common, were found. On tho beach at Otatou was picked up a human jaw-bone (lower), with all the teeth save one intact, and perfectly sound. Each of the first double teeth was ground down in the most singular manner, as if the owner, when living, had been in the habit of masticating very hard food (say fern-root.) Judging from the teeth, Dra. Moore and Purchas diagnosed the fragment to have belonged to a male Maori, aged between 50 and 60, who was possibly drowned in the harbour years ago. Those who had landed at Rakino were mast hospitably entertained by Mr Sandford, who lives here with his family, and raises sheep and cattle. The Club hod evidently been expected, for esctensiva preparations had been made, and food and drink were supplied throughout the whole day. The excursionists had reason to be thankful to Mr Sandford and family for their very courteous at tion. Rakino did not seem to yield anything very remarkable from a natural ist's point of view, and ferns and plants worth taking being rare, some attention was directed to oyster-gathering, and, i* must be rsnfessed, with great success. Oysters at> -end on the rocks surrounding tha island an j. Are to be had in cartloads. About 4 p.m., ti.e Tainui arrived from Otatou, and re-embarkation commenced. The last' stragglers were on board about 5.10, and a start was made for home. Tho route taken was the alternative one round the outside of Motutapu, by Raneitoto Reef, and through the Channel, Queen-street wharf ■was reached shortly after 7, and the.excur sion hod. proved a most enjoyable one.

Partisan Chairmanship.

(To the Editor).

Btß t —The second, and, it is to be hoped, tho lost public debate on " Conditional ImnunS tality" is conoluded. I don't propose to say anything about the subject of discussion, for most people have had enough of it, but I wish to draw attention to a few specimens of the Chairman's conduct of the proceed ings, becauee I think it is important that men who assume the control of public meetings should have some slight idea as to the proper method of doing it. During th« firat night of the last debate Mr Laiahley was so manifestly unfair to Mr Dunn that several of Mr Brown's friends to whom I have spoken admitted that such was th« case. On the second night he gave the extraordinary decision that it is the duty of the negative to disprove tho affirmative before the latter is called upon to establish his case. The most juvenild member of any debating class oould put Mr Laishley right in this matter. The very form of the discussion convicts Mr Laishley of his error, The first half of tho debate was a.n affirmation by Mr Brown of the truth of eonditionalimmortality. Mr Dunn denied, and Mr Brown opened the discussion. .The second half was affirmation by Mr Dunn of man's immortality. Mr Brown denied, and Mr Dunn opened his case. The same rula holds good in courts of law, and the foot of Mr Laishley being a lawyer of consider able experience makes his decision the mom astounding. To be consistent, he ought the next time he defends ft prisoner prove his innocence bofore the prosecution," who affirm his guilt, produce their evidence. Again, ho called Mr Brown to order foy complimenting Mr Dunn on his "eloquence," and subsequently rebuked Mr Dunn for alluding to Mr Brown's; "ability." Whoever heard oi such expres sions being ruled out of order before i. When, howe\ er, Mr Brown Jn his closing address charged. Mr- Dunn with "misrepre* sentlng" him, and expressed his opinion that he had "miserably failed," tho sapient Chairman smilei appro vingly and let it pass. But the most inoxcusabie thing of all was the Chair man's closing speech, in which he assumed the position of a partisan, and made a violont attack on the orthodox doctrine and the conduct of the clergy. This, I consider, was a most unwarrantable ahu.se of bis position. Had the audience been. composed of anything like equal propor tions, a protest might have been successful; but when Mr Mason made an attempt to bring the Chairman to his. senses by showing him the injustice of his conduct, he was promptly hissed, hooted, and yelled at by tho "intelligent majority" of "impartial inquirers after truth," till he was com pelled to relinquish his hopeless task. If any further debates of a similar character should, ever take place, it is to be hoped that the disputants will secure a chairman who knows his business and is able to do it.—l am, &c, Spectatob. _
