New York, Oct L Tho Herald's
City of Mexico special says:
Dr. Bengerba, a son-in-law of Gener

route to the United States to present
his case to President Harrison. He
makes a statement that when Bar
rundia embarked on the Acapulco,
Pitts guaranteed hJs life.
The slory of the murder aboard the
Acapulco as given by Bengerba is
that before Pitts read Mizner's order
two officers went below, and after
the order was read "Barrundia.
who was in his undershirt,
asked permission to put on his
clothes, and while in tho act -was shot
through one of his cabin windows, the
bnllet wounding him slightly. He
then grabbed two revolvers and

Pitts ran. Fouseca opened iiro from
behind tho smokestack, as did also
four policemen, one of the balls,cuter;
ing Barrundia's faco directly under
tho eye, ho falling to tho deck dead.
Torrieto then rushed from his hiding
place and commenced kicking the
body. All this passed within two
minutes. Barrundia did not fire a
single shot
"jVIy wifr," said Bcngorha "in
tended to liro n sbot at Alizner from

was setting with Agent Loverech and
United States Consul-Gcneral Hos
racr. Levt rech on seeing her was going (o
leave, but Mizner said "don't leave me
alone, that is Barrundia's daughter."
To this sho replied "Ye?, this i the
daughter or Barrundia that comes to
call you to account for her father's
assassination, you ate an assassin, yon,
who arc hero representing so great a
nation as the United Stales are noth
ing tout a great villaiu." She wn
ejected from the legation after these
ntl erar.ee.
The night following the murder
Mizner visited the minister of war and
the iulerior at the National palaco.
Ho received him with his hat on and
made him wait, in fact, treated him
wilh the greatest contempt. Ho is
despised by everybody in Guatemala.

meeting between Peter Jackson and
jcranK r. aiavm in tbe rooms of tho
Melbourne Athletic club within tho
next six mouths. A Tjnrsa of 3.00f)
has been guaranteed.
Thero is a new industry in tho Da

breeding of buffaloes. This nearly ex

breed well in captivity, and the cli

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.
Persons whose blood Is thin, digestion
weak and liver slupRlsh. are extra-liable to
the attacks of malarial disease. Tho most
trlfllnt; exposure may, under such condi
tions, infect a system which. If healthy,
would resist tho miasmatic taint. The only
way to secure Immunity from malaria in lo
cahllei where it Is prevalent, is to tone, and
legulale the system by improving weakened
digestion, enriching tho blood, and giviug
awholesomc impetus to blharv secretion.
These results are accomplished "by nothing
so efleclUely as Ilostctterti StomachJJit
tcrs, which long experience has proved to
no the most reliable safeguard against
Ieerand ague and kindred disorders, as
well as the best remedy for them. Tho
Bitters are, moreover, an excellent Invig
oraiit of the .organs of urinations, and an
active depureut, eliminating from tho blood
those acid impurities which originato rheu
matic aliments.
THE IRISH PARTY.
The Meeting this Month Will be
an Important One.
Special to Thkastorian.i
London, Oct L The meeting of
the members of the Irish party has
been fixed for October 16. It will
probably be a very important affair
and at it Mr. Parnell is expected to
take very decisive action. Ho will
either resign his posision or -will
como out strongly for a plan of cam
paign. Tho need of money over
shadows all questions, and an Amer
ican trip is the most important item
in the program. Parnell has ordered
all members to cancel their engage
ments for the 16th. A supreme effort
will be made to conciliate tho American-Irish
to " unite with the party
here.
A report that the Vatican had de
termined to put a pressure on the
Irish Bishops to enforce Papal re
script receives confirmation from a
pastoral issued Monday by tho Bishop
of Kildare. The Parnellites are anx
ious to avoid any breach with the
church and it is thought that no fur
ther attempt will be made to put the
plan of campaign in force. Parnell is
anxious that homo rule should again

Canadian Talk.
At a meeting of the Canadian Com
mercial Union club at Toronto lately,
Professor Gold win Smith said that the
fisheries question will bo easily settled
whenever Canada shall elect her own
governor general. That, of course, al
ludes to Canadian independence. Tho
remark must bo taken in connection
with the audience to determine its
significance. It was made to a club
of men eager for reciprocity, or even
absolute commercial union with tho
United States. Could they overcome
Canadian conservative sentiment and
American objections, and elect a gover
nor general, or a president, if
tho word be more appropriate,
to suit themselves, there would bo no
trouble whatever about settling pend
ing questions between the two coun
tries. This club, howover, represents
only a portion, presumably a minority,
of the people of the Dominion. As a
matter of fact, throughout this con
tention Canada has been tho aggres
sor and Great Britain the pacific
factor. Tho mother country has no
interest in tho quarrel except as the
reluctant backer of her colony. Sho
would prefer not to meddle with it,
and undoubtedly the governor-generals
she has appointed have been in
structed to observe a moderate attitude.
A chief magistrate elected by the Do
minion would reflect tho sentiment of
tho majority. Heretofore that has
been in favor of cro ding the United
States at all possible points to obtain
commercial concessions. Perhaps if
Canada stood alone she would bo less
obstreperous. She is like a saucy
little boy who makes up faces and
throws stones from behind his big
brother. In that view of the matter
Goldwin Smith's remark may have
been measurably correct It must be
remembered, however, that the United
States has not been influenced by any
fear of Great Britain in considering
Canadian complications.
The capital stock of the Illinois
Central railroad compauv, amounting

Pecan-nut farming is one of the

tho quality of tlto nuts.
Cure of Spinal IVcrticncsK.
E.F. Woolston, Yates, Orleans Co.
N. Y., writes:
"Sly wife, five years ago, was confined
to her bed with inflammatory rheuma
tism of the muscles of the back. The
doctors thought her case hopeless, and
doomed her to be a bedridden invalid.
Tho violent pain kept her awake al
most every night She lost over thirty
pounds in weight. To case her pain 1
thought I would put on Allcock's
Porous Plasters. 1 covered her
back with them. To my great delight
sho began to sleep well. Tho pain very
much abated in one week. I then took
the plasters off, washed her back, and
put on fresh opes. At the end of the
second week, she insisted on getting
up, and by the third week was entirely
well and able to attend to her house
hold duties."

San Francisco, Oct 1. Y. C.
Bognc, chief engineer of tho Union
Pacific system, is in this city attending
to some important business in which
his company is interested. fc It is
rumored in railroad circles that his
mission is in connection with tho ex
tension of the lines of tho Union
Pacific to this city.
"When seen' to-day Mr. Bognc denied
that his visit was on such important
business. He said: "There is no im
mediate prospect, 130 far as I know, of
an extension of the lines of the Union
Pacific system to San Francisco.
Thero is without doubt, plenty of
business to warrant tho extension, but
tho company havo never seriously
considered such a move. It is pos
sible that some of the other
companies contemplate running
out here, but I am not informed in tho
matter, as I have been, during the
greater part of the year, in the state

put off a street car in San Francisco

traveled through the west, and his
friends, in a spirit of humor and friend
ship, had a gold-headed cane made
which contained m tho handle a com
partment sufficiently large to store
100 5-cent nickels. Tho simple
pressure ot tne tnumb releases a
nickle, and another slips into place
readyg for use, like tho cartridges
in a magazine gun. On the hands was
engraved 'United States Senator J. P.
Jones, with the best wishes of his
Utah friends.' Tho cane was formally
presented to the senator by ex-Governor
"West, of Utah, in the presence
of a number of senators and repre
sentatives. Senator Jones made a
happy acknowledgement, in whioh he
suggested that ultimately the state of
Nevada and thef -ferritory of Utah
would be consolidate. This sugges

an idea which is rapidly growing in
