FOEEIOT AFFAIRS.
Legal Decision..
Richm ontl, \W,UJCWDer 20.—in
the United. States circuit court to-
day, Judge Bond declined to allow
the Dutch bondholders to be made
parties defendant to the suit in
the matter of the Atlantic, Mis-
sissippi and Ohio railroad, as the
trustees are acting for them as
well as for the English bondhold-
ers. He stated, however, that
should occasion arise necessita-
ting an appeal, the petitions would
then be considered as to the par-
ties for that purpose. Judge
Hughes, dissented, thinking that
the petitioners ought to be made
parties now. The opinion of Judge
Bond, however, stands. The court
next took up the motion submit-
ted by the trustees and English
bondholders, for a foreclosure of
the mortgage and sale of the road.
Richmond, Va., October 26.—In
the United States circuit court to-
day, in the matter of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio- railroad, on
the motion for a decree of fore-
closure of mortgage and sale of
the road, Judge Bond ordered the
reference of the master’s report
back to him for a new report of
the assets of the company, with
the liabilities and liens upon the
property, in just the order of pri-
ority, to be returned in thiaty
days. The case, upon the original
motion, will come up for final hear-
ing January 15th.
His Gun Went Off.
Boston, Mass., October 26.—A
dispatch from New Haven says
lhat while Rev, W. H. H. Murray
was entertaining a party of ladies
and gentlemen from Boston, yes-
terday with duck shooting, near

tering his right hand. It is feared

tenth district nominated J. O.
Parsons.

lin special says that Bayard Tay-
lor has undergone a very serious

rick’s church, has been appointed

Officially Notified.
Washington, October 26.—The
Spanish charge d’affairs called at
the state department, and officially
notified the acting secretary of the
attempt on the life of King Al-
phon80} of Spain.
“1 CAME HERE TO KILL THE KING.”
New York, October 26.—A spe-
cial dispatch from Madrid says
that Joan Moncasi, who attempted
■fcrishoot Alphonso yesterday, was
arraigned for trial to-day. When
asked what was his object in leav-
ing his home on the Mediterra-
nean and coming to the capital, he
replied definitely: “I came here
to kill the King*” He was then
returned to his cell. He has asso-
ciated with Internationalists since
arriving on Saturday last. The
council of ministers had a protrac-
ted session to-day. It is reported
that the King has requested that
Moncasi be not executed, but that
he be imprisoned for the term of
one year. Te deums were sung
to-day in the cathedrals and
churches of the city, and congrat-
ulatory telegrams were received
from all parts of the world.
THE GLASGOW FAILURE.
London, October 26.-—It is be-
lieved that the call for $25,000 per
share, of which the liquidators of
the City of Glasgow bank gave
notice yesterday, will exhaust the
means of the smaller shareholders,
and throw the burden of the as-
sessment on a few wealthy ones.
This assessment will.he further
increased by the fact that the
bank itself had a large amount of
its own shares, to such an amount
that about four and a half million
dollars of the present call wenld
have been assessed thereon, and
which must consequently be made
good by the shareholders. The
first installment of the present
call is made payable on the 22d of
February, and the second on the
24th of February next. It seems
inevitable that it will be followed
by future and larger calls on those
not bankrupted by the present.
BULLION.
Berlin, October 25.—Specie de-
creased 885,000 marks,
THE OLDHAM SPINNERS.
London, Oainbor QfL=—The mas-
ters and cotton spinners associa-
tions of Oldham have resolved to

RESOLVED TO STRIKE.

ed to strike, against the seven and
a half per cent reduction of wages.

thousand. The members are de-
termined to enforce the reduction.
VIOLENT STORM.
Havre, October 26.—A violent
tempest prevails here, and the
General Trans-Atlantic company’s
steamer Pierre, and the Hamburg-
American line steamer Pornmor-
ania, which were to have sailed
hence to-day, will on account of
the storm defer departure until
to-morrow.
BANKRUPTCY.
Edinburg, October 26.—Bank-
ruptcy is announced for John
Jones, Wright & Co., of Glasgow
and London. Wright is one of the
imprisoned directors of the City
of Glasgow bank- He and his
partner, William Scott, are heavily
indebted to bank on acceptances.
A BIG FRAUD.
London, October 26—A Geneva
dispatch says that frauds to a con-
siderable amount in connection
with the payment of the workmen
on the St. Gathard railway, have
been discovered, and the cashier
has been arrested and the entire
personnel of his department dis-
missed from service.
The Last of Kearney.
Dennis Kearney, the sand-lot
operator, appears to be losing his
grip 011 the working classes of
Massachusetts. It has dawned
upon them that he is an obscene,
vulgar fellow, with plenty of pro-
fanity in his mouth, and very few
ideas in his head. The Boston
Herald describes a scene at the
open air meeting in East Bostonr
where Dennis undertook to har-
angue a motley crowd of people.
It says:
“He had scarcely uttered a Hun-
dred words, when whiz! went an
onion past his nose, and zip! came
a potato, striking one of the lan-
terns near Kearney’s head, and
causing great confusion. To say
that Kearney was mad, is a very
mild way of putting it; he fairly
boiled over with rage, and literally
turned black in the face. It was
a pity, too, for when he smiles,
Dennis is quite a good looking fel-
low, and lots of the girls get sweet
on him in the country towns. The
East Boston girls who witnessed
his display of temper, last even-
ing, ‘went clean back 011 him,’ and
most of them long before he ceas-
ed his harangue started off for
Meridian street in search of a man
with a sweeter temper. Glaring
about, Dennis raised his voice to
a pitch that was terribly sugges-
tive of the ravings of an escaped
lunatic, and yelled, while the per-
spiration fairly streamed from his
face: “Oh! you slimy imps of hell!
you miserable blood-sucking bum-
mers !—oh ! you sneaking thieves
in the employ of political cut-
throats, sent here to do their filthy
work!—if I could find the dirty,
contemptible who threw that on-
ion, I’d shoot him-as I would a
dog!” The scene that followed
this exhibition of temper on the
part of the honest, peaceable apos-
tle of reform, who as recently as
last Saturday night declared his
close relation with the Trinity, al-
most baffles description. Yells of
derision, shouts of laughter, hys-
terical screeches from the women,
mingled with the baths and badi-
nage of the men in the wildest
confusion. Kearney made several
attempts to again gain and hold
the attention of his audience, but
it was all of no avail.”
Mum 011 the Subject.
Washington, October 26.—Sec-
retary Sherman, in reply to a
question, said that he had nothing
to say concerning James E. An-
derson’s retraction" of Ms story
about the alleged Sherman letter,
further than that he had always
been satisfied that the truth of his
story would vindicate him from
the charges and aspersions in that
connection, and that he would
assist rather than delay or ob-
struct a thorough examination into
the facts.
Weather Report.
Washington, October 26/—Indi-
cations for the South Atlantic and
Gulf States—Colder partly cloudy
or cloudy weather with frequent
rains ; northerly winds and rising

The Turf.
Pimlico Race Track, Baltimore,
Md., October 26.—First race—one
mile, for two year olds ; Dan Spar-
ling first, Boatman second, Lillian
third; time 1:48.
—The greenback vote in Colo-
rado revealed one conspicuous
fact. Every Democratic prose-
lyte of the new organization voted
the straight greenback ticket.
The Republicans, however, “went
back” on the third party, and
marched to the polls squarely in
the ranks of the radicals. It has
always been the fate of Demociats
who go foolishing around after
false idols. They invariably are
made the .victims of the political
cunning of their old adversaries.—-

The Fire Record.
Buffalo, N. Y., October 25.—The
slaughter house and pork packing
establishment of Chris. Klinch, in
East Buffalo, one of the most ex-
tensive of its kind in western New
York, was burned this morning.
The fire is supposed to have been
communicated from the smoke
house. Only about forty bead
out of four hundred live hogs,
were saved from the flames, which
spread very rapidly. An immense
quantity of pork, lard and dressed
bogs was destroyed. The loss is
estimated at $160,000; insurance
$85,000.

Washington, October 26.—John
P. Bulinger has been appointed
| postmaster at Madison, Ala.
—Moses Howe, of New Brad-
ford, Mass., has just preached his
eight thousandth sermon. Holy
Moses!—Oil City Derrick.
—A notary public is no doubt
a well meaning fellow, but he pro-
tests too much to make him pop-
ular in mixed society.
—Any printer will admit a pun
can pi.—Rome Sentinel.
—The mosquito employs no cob
lector to present his bill.
