The sensation or the lily tho case de cision, by which all oC the old sinners' pile goes to pretty seventeen-year-old Florence, was nothing at all com pared to tho sensation caused by a story which followed closo to the heels of the decision. In one of tlie fashionable San Francisco clubs, there is a handsome young bachelor with whom a lot of his chums hnyo fun on his pretended anxiety to inarry rich. Of course the iilythe decision was the occasion for lots of this nonsense, and the night that pretty Florence was awarded four million, a gay party of men formed the young bachelors into a "Syndicate Marriage Association, Limited." Stock was sold at a bottle of wine a share, and stockholders were to realize when the syndicate bachelor was married to Florence Blythe. It was the joke of the night; it served to entertain a dozen blase men, to swell the wine re ceipts of the club bar, and that was the last of it. At least so thought the men concerned, but it is now told as a solemn fact that one of the club's members, hearing of the joke, took it seriously, and actually approached " Bill" Foot, one of Florence's attor neys, with a proposition for a certain division of the millions in the event of Mr. Foote bringing about a marriage between the young heiress and the enterprising promoter of the scheme. Tho attorney slapped the man's face, and made a statement of the affair to the directors of the man's club, who have since allowed him to resign. This story has developed tho fact that a majority of the lawyers engaged in the case; the administrator of the Blytho estate; the agents; friends of Florence's grandfather, and in fact nearly everyone in any way associated with the girl, received proposals of marriage for the girl before Judge Coffey's decision was twenty-four hours old. The foreign mails are yet to be opened. Tho great Leary log raft, worth S15,000, reached New York last Thurs day from Nova Scotia. The raft con tains 10,000 pieces or "sticks." They are forty to seventy feet long,,with twelve to twenty-inch butts. The cribs or "lockings," as the lumbermen phrase it, are about 155 feet long. They are about forty feet thick later ally and twelve feet bigb. When in the water they are snbmergod about nine feet, making a draught as great as many good-sized vessels, to say nothing of the resistance caused by their ungainly bulk. The logs are stowed in. some full length and others heads and points. Tho statistics of water transporta tion on tho Pacific slope, excepting tho territory of Alaska, will be collected by Thomas J. Vivian, of San Fran ciseo, CaL, who litis been appointed special agent of tho eleventh cousus for that purpope.

No freight train3 were sent out to-day. but the railroad oinciais say muy win be run regularly to-morrow. Vice president Webb said to-day in regard to the talked-of conference with Mr. Powderly : "I will be most happy to seo that gentleman, but I cannot say what the result will be." 'Will you treat with him as a labor representative on the present issue?1' "Now, I cannot answer that ques tion. The publio will doubtless hear of it soon enough if I do," was Mr. Webb's reply.

I'VIILIC SYMl'ATUYVA rOKAllT.E Spocxal by Tho Uxitkii 1'kks. Bloomsbukg," Pa,, Aug. 17. A shocking tragedy occurred at Danville last night, details of which havo just reached hero. Tho reports as far as received do not say that the principals of tho affair wore killed instantly, but subsequent developments show that their wounds are fatal The names of tho victims are Frank Schuraski and Patrick Mbnohan. John "Slinies, who committed the crime, is now in jail awaiting to-morrow's hearing. Pub lic opinion is in sympathy with the prisoner, ns the evidence as far as can bo learned shows ho committed the deed while resenting an insult to his wife. Schuraski and Mouolnm went to Minies' during the night un der tho iutluenco cf liquor. After reaching it souio noise was made, which attracted tho attention of Min ies, who appeared in tho door with a lamp in his hand, followed by his wife. Ouo of tho men told her to go in and mind hor own business, but this she refused to do, at the same time mak ing a retort, but beforo it was fin ished tho lamp that her husband hold was gripped and thrown across the room in the direction tho woman was standing. Minies at once became frightened, and seizing a knife slashed right and left with terrible effect The light was now extinguished and a ter rible struggle ensued. Mrs. Minies was knocked to the floor senseless, where she was found when rescuers arrived. Minies was also overcome by a blow on the head, bnt soon rallied. Monahan was found on tho step with his skull split A deep gash was cut in his shoulder, and ho was otherwise bruised. His companion, Schuraski, was found in the house where he had been knocked down by a blow on the fordhead, which was split clear across. Neither of the men canTrecover. Jnt Think of It The pesky scientists generally keep fooling away their time in figur ing and obtruse philosophy, but here is one statement wnicii accounts for a great deal of the recent dryness: "The amount of water the sun raises from the earth is estimated at the enormous weight of 37,000,000,000 tons a minute. The quantity of coal that would be required to produce a heat in any way equivalent to tho sun's is .calculated to be 12,000,000, OOO.OOOjOOO tons!" Gracious! There is nothing like being accurate in such matters, but just ponder for a moment on the amount of water tho sun will raise during this long and dry sum mer and the great economy, of having the sun to do the raising!

THE NATIONAL APIT0L !A BBjnlcan Canons to Consifler the Order of Business. THE ELEOTIOiiS BILL DEAD. Pacific Ooast Senators Watching the Proceedings in the Interest of their Constituents. Special by Tuk United Pit ess. Washington, Aug. 17. It is likely that a caucus of Bepublican senators will be held, probably Monday night, to consider again the order of busi ness for the remainder of the session. When the caucus of Thursday night adjourned it was without any definite agreement but with the understand ing that the committee on rales would take no action on the proposi tion of debate on pending measures until another caucus could be held and some agreement reached as to the order to bo followed. The elections bill is dead for this session at least Everj'ono recog nizes that fact now, except a few advocates of the bill who still have hopes of its resurrection. Tho caucus Thursday night settled absolutely the fate-of the bill, which had not been in doubt, however, for many weeks. The Bepublican senators recognize the impossibility of doing anything with the tariff bill and other import ant measures at this session, unless some arrangement is made with the Democrats to pnt off the consideration of tho elections bill until December. It is understood that a resolution will be presented fixing some day in Decem ber for tho consideration of tho bill, but there is serious doubt of its passage at tliat time. There is so much business before tho senato during tho short session that it cannot waste time filibustering over ovon the most im portant subjects. Tho senators from the Pacific slope are watching with some interest the process of attempting to arrange a schedule of business for tho balance of tho season because there are two or three measures which they are especially anxious to have considered before adjournment and for which they will ask a place in the event of an order of business being agreed upor. Senator Dolpji is opposed to fixing an order of business and it is understood that ho said "as much to Bepublican senators in caucus Thursday night "If the senate wishes to agree upon an order to allow bills to go over let it do so' said the senator yesterday to a United Press correspondent. "I am opposed to fixing a regular order of business. I am particularly anxious to havo the Indian depredation bill aud tho bankruptcy bill considered. 1 do not know what chances the?c measures have, but I wonld prefer to have them take their legitimate chance for consideration instead of making them a part of the regular program." TO EXPLORE ALASKA. A llilt to Appropriate 810D,UUO For Xlmt Iurposc. Special to Tiik AsTontA.l Washington, Aug. 17. Since tho present congress convened there has been a great deal of discission among members relative to Alaska and the possibilities of utilizing the great na tural resources of the iuterior of the territory. A bill for the establishment of a military post on tho Yukon river near tho head of navigation was in troduced, but much opposition was made by members of the military committee to wich it was referred. The opposition was on tho ground of impracticability. Conferences be tween members of the committee and Lieut Kennon, who is familiar with Alaska, were had, and congressmen were led to the conclusion that the bill did not cover the objects desired. At a meeting of the committee Friday last it was decided to report a substi tute for the bill appropriating S100, 000 for scientific exploration by tho war department of tho Yukon river and the adjacent country. The secre tary of war approves of tho substitute and has already outlined the program to be followed by the exploring party, should tho bill become a law. Tho expedition is to bo in charge of an army officer who has had experi ence in Alaska. He will bo designat ed by tho secretary, of war. The war department hopes to have the expedi tion fitted out and ready to start early next spring from some port in Oregon or Washington. The party will bo conveyed to the Yukon in n light draught steamer. A smaller steamer in which it will bo possible to push a considerable distance up the river and row boats to explore the tributaries will also be taken. A part of tho equipment of the party will be a saw mill with which timber to bo used in building a stockade, and a house can be prepared. Preparations for actual exploration it is expected will consume most of the summer, so that the expe dition will not begin objoctivo work until next year. The members of the committee on military affairs arc very hopeful of tho accomplishment of groat results by tho party. IYoticc. GOIVo HLESSlNG TO HUMANITY So Says an Oregon 1'ioHeer Ninety Years Old.

There was an exciting scene on Second street just below Pine, early last evening. The dramatis personam consisted of a muscular young lady wearing a natty cloth cap, a liigh standing collar attached to her shirt front, and a plain navy blue skirt, a broncho, which the average livery stable keeper would pronounce sound and kind, not afraid of locomotives or anything else, .and several interested spectators including tho re porter. The youug lady was mounted on the broncho and a glance was sufficient to inform the casual observer that it was her first attempt at holding down a side saddle. Sho managed to keep heri seat siuoways ior awne,wuen snuueii ly the broncho, out of pure cusscd ness, stopped short and refused to go forward. Tho lady had a short cane handled English riding-whip in her hand, with which sho prodded the beast, who commenced to back to ward ihc sidewalk. Then he stood up ou his hind legs and pawed the air. Dropping down he placed his head between his legs and secured a favorable position for buckiug. Apparently hi3 rider know what was coming and unmindful of the ''horrid men" who were enjoying the spectacle sho quickly threw the other limb over the offside and wrapped her sturdy legs around tho bctist Now that lady did not wear a Jeness-Miller divided skirt, but she didn't care even if there was a display of sturdy limbs. Sho didn't propose to get off that horse un til sho was ready and sho wasn't rcadj' just yet by a large majority. The pony tried all sorts of tricks to dismount his fair rider, bnt sho held on liko grim death and kept prodding him in the neck with the whipstock while the way sho sawed on tho bit would have made the for tuuo of a Skagit river lumberman. Finally, the broncho adopted new tactics and started down Second street on a dead run with tho young woman slill astrido or him and plying her whip at overy jump. Her name? Well, sho is tho wife of a prominent physician, and sho proposes to learn how- to rido without asking tho advice of any one Seattle Telegraph. A Voice From The Judicial JBcncIi.

The Excited People Attempt to' Enforca Lynch Law, and Hang the Shooters High. Special by The Unitsd Pkeso. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 17. The most disastrous day. in the history of the railway strike closed to-night Fif teen Pinkerton men, one of the sur geons aud five citizens arc so badly wounded that there is some doubt-of their recovery. Tho Pinkerton men were arrested and one of them was so severely handled by a mob. that the police surgeon had to dress his wounds. The trouble is at Vauwarts crossing, a few blocks west of the passenger depot, where the freight trains run on a bridge. This morning early crowds began to gather. Everything was quiet until at 11 o'clock, a freight b train canio in from West Albany car rying on top of each car two Pinker ton men, armed. As the cars passed they nourished iheir" guns. Sud denly, without any provocation, ono of them fired and Bichard Dwycr, a boy lo years of age, was shot in the thigh. The excitement was intense and a rush was made for the train. So successful was it that James Haltou, who iired the shot, was caught Tho police charged the mob and rescued the man just as they had him up against a tree to hang him. Ho was battered up when locked up. A few minutes sifter John Honck, a lumber handler, was arrested for stoning the train. At 3 o'clock a freight train bound west came over the bridge guarded by Pinkerton men. When it reached tho city several Pinkerton men, withont provocation, opened fire. Mrs. Tims. Hogan was shot through the leg and a small boy was shot iu tho thigh. The crowd by this time was wrought up to a fearful pitch, and it was only by the efficiency of the police, aided by com mittees from the strikers, that they were kept back. At 4 o'clock, when the excitement had begun to cool down, another train came in aud Pinkerton men again fired into tho crowd, a boy named Frank Parks receiving a bullet in his arm. An officer jumped on tho train and tried to find the man but was unsuccessful. He wa3 carried back to East Albany on another train and there he was assaulted by a Pink erton man, although ho was in full uniform. All the polico of the city arc at this point, and trouble 13 expected to night. Bobcrt Pinkerton asked for the release of Burke, who was arrested under arms, but Chief Willard re- Ifused, saying that tho men were incit ing the people to violence. Pinkerton said that it wis simply a matter of protecting the new brakemen and was necessary. Tho fivo Pinkerton men arrested last night were arraigned in tho police court thi3 morning and four were admitted to bail for further examination. Only freight trains moved to-day, being refrigerator and empty cars. The blockade at West Albany is -almost sis bad as on the first day of the strike. DID THE DOCTORS KLUNDEIt. EdKon, the Great Electrician, Gives His Views ou the Kenimler Execution. New Yokk, Aug. 7. The fault in the mal-execution of Kemmler lies wholly with the doctors. Theoretically they are right no doubt The nerve center o the humau system lies in tho base of the skull, but practically they are all at sea. Here wo have had something like thirty perfect examples of instantaneous death by electricity in accidents that have happened in and around New York. How was electricity applied in these cases? Never in tho head-. Of what use has been tho death of these thirty men. In every case tho mortal charge entered through the hand. In no case was the strength of tho current nearly half what was to have been passed through Kommler's skull. Tho reason why contact by the hand is so much more fatal than through tho head is that electricity travels through tho water in tho body. Tho hair of tho head i3 a non-conductor. You see that when you comb your hair with a rubber comb. Anything that electricity at tracts is a non-conductor. Tho bones aro also non-conductors, and iu elec trical executions like that of Kemm ler he bones of tho skull have to be penetrated. Had he 'received the whole 1,300 volts into hiS" body it would hayo burned him up. 1 testified as to the resistance of various parts of the human body dnr ing the Westinghousc litigation in New York last spring. I havo experi mented upon 100,000 people, and I know whereof I speak. I said then , as I say now, that tho true way to exe cute a criminal is to send the enrreut through his body from one arm of the death-chair to the other. The arms, hands and fingers are full of blood, which is a good condnctor of elec tricity. Let the hands be properly cleansed and moistened, and the charge would pass through the heart, causing in stant death. It is trnc that I recommended the electrical machinery used at tho exe cution. I seo no reason to find fault with tho machinery. I have no doubt the electrical exerts who assisted at the execution handled the machinery inj Iho best possible way. The trouble, to my mind, lies wholly in tho application of tho current to tho vic tim's body, according to tho doctor's theory, m tho face of the plain demon siraiions oi experience. Thomas A.

Special to The AstokianJ London, Aug. 17. The late Duke of Manchester showed his jealousy and irascibility in his will which has just been admitted in commons. His wife he knew was not with him in heart He was aware of the sincerity of her attachment for Lord Harting ton. He reasoned that on his death bed she would marry Hartington, so while he was constructing an eccen tric instrument he decided that the duchess could havo a share of the pro ceeds of his estate only so long as she remained a widow and loyal to his. memory. He knew that his lady would not remain long a widow, so the bulk of his estate would remain for the benefit of his sons. As has already been stated the dowager duchess and Lord Hartington are to be married next April. The present duke, better known by his former title, Lord Mandeville, is bequeathed a third interest in tho estato for life so long as he shall not become bankrupt and seek to anticipate the payment of his portion. This protects tho duke against creditors and money lenders during life. The present duchess of Manchester, who was formerly a Miss Consuola Yznaga, of Bavenwood, La., is not mentioned at all in the will. SENSATIONAL DIVORCE CASE. A Scauilalons aud Coiuplicatel Mat rimonial Affair. oossrr von i.oxnox society. Special by The Unitki 1j:ks. London, Aug. 17." -London has been entertained with a spicy divorce case. This case, just decided, which has been christened "The Story of a Lady and Two Captains," began in that trysting place of easy virtue, "Burlington Arcade," where Capt Lyon, of the Life Guards, met with out introduction a fascinating lady who called herself Mrs. Stanhope, who turned out to be the mistress of an other and wealthier captain named Warner. Lyon, unaffected by this little detail as well as by the fact that sho had led an immoral life since sho was 1G yearn old, offered himself in marriage and very naturally was ac cepted. But here came in a financial question. She is now Mrs. Captain Lyon, well pleased with having re ceived tho stamp of respectability. Sho looked with less complacency upon giving up a comfortable four or five thousand pounds, which Capt Warner has allowed her, and set her wits to work to solve tho problem of combining tho rich captain's gold with the poor captain's matrimonial con cessions. This she succeeded in doing, but whether with the knowledge of the poor captain is a question. What brought matters to a crisis was an action brought by a tradesman named Pickett, who, in tho short space of eight months catered to Mrs. Lyon's vanity to the extent of 19,000 worth of dresses. Mr. Pickett has been paid on previous occasions by Captain Warner and these dresses were also entored to his account. Pickett, not having heard of the marnage with Captain Lyon, at first brought suit against Warner, but failed to recover tho money. He then sued Captain Lyon. Mrs. Stanhope, or Warner, or Lyon tried to help the costume r as well as her paramour by asserting that ' her husband knew of tho bill and told her to make Captain Warner pay it. She further declared Capt. Warner had continued his relations with her since her marriage and that Capt Lyon, her husband, was well aware of thi3 state of allaira aud encouraged her to continue in it in order that he might profit by the money sho got from Capt Warner. This is conclu sively shown to be false from her own letters, apart from the denial of Capt. Lyon on oath, but a lie more or less would not make much difference to 'a lady of Mra. Stanhope's character and turn of mind. The whole jury did not believe her e'lameless story, although one of the members seems to have taken the un usual view that the tradesman onght to get his meney: if not from the right person, then from any ono who camo first On that theory he stood out and. consequently there was a dis agreement The judge yesterday or dered a verdict for the defendant, and there is no doubt that Capt Lyons stands exonerated from ever' charge but that of having been grievously mismated for life. For that offense ho has had and will havo to suffer bit terly. Points to Government Ownership.
