NEW? ”YORK, Sep. 29.—The Rev. Dr. Benjamin Labaree,'recording Secretary of the Presbyterian ‘ board of foreign mis- sions, has received news from Oroomiah, Persia, of the brutal murder of an- Ar- menian Christian in that city recently at the hands of a mob of Mohammedans. The name of the victim of the outrage was Agah Jon. He was an Armenian by ' birth and was a prosperous merchant in the city of Oroomiah and a prominent memberof the Presbyterian church in that place, having been converted to Christianity sOmo time ago by the mis- sionariesbf the board at that station. Ac- cording-to the accounts, Ajah 'Jon acted as the agent of a Mohammedan woman, who .wished to purchase a piece of prop- erty. EEShe called at. the shOp of her agent on the day in question 'and he reported that had not as-yst been able to make the rchase of the land she desired to obtain. Much angered at the delay in carrying out her wishes, the‘womau went to some Of the most influential among the. natives and told them that Ajah Jon had grossly insulted 'her. These people quickly spread the rumor abroad and in a short time a bowling mob gathered in front of the un- fortunate merchant’s store. The crowd broke down the doors and dragged the poor man out into the street and then car- ried him to the mosque. There they of- fered him his life and a large sum of money if he would renounce Christianity. He refused to comply with their demands and, after torturing him cruelly, they dragged him aloft to the top of the mosque and then threw him bodily to the ground. As he lay prostrate and scarcely breath- inga heavy stone was dropped upon him from a great height, which crushed all the life out of him and broke every bone in his body. Not satisfied with their accom- plishments, the mob savagely attacked the corpse with knives and daggers. A wife and five children survive him. . GOOD \YORK GOES ON.

Henry C. 'Young of Cincinnati has just been disclosed in the supreme court chambers before Justice Ingraham. The general has thrice tried to get rid of his wife, but has not yet \succeeded. When he married her in Connecticut, in August, 1886, she was the divorced wife of. Robert Smith. She- and Gen. Young did not live happily together and he began a. suit against her in Cincinnati for absolute di- vorce. He discontinued that action and began one for abandonment, .but . it only a. month for her support. to this city and sought to have .his‘ mar- riage annulled on the ground that the di-. vorce obtained by Smith forbade Mrs. Smith to remarry, but the court held that the marriage was valid in Connecticut, and being valid there was valid in all other states. During all this trouble - Mrs. Caroline M. Collins, Gen. Young’s sister, remained his wife’s firm friend, and about this time sued him for $6,000 for neces- saries furnished to her. Gen. Young in his answer, charged his sister with conniving at his wife’s infldel~ ity and allowing her to meet a. male ac- quaintance in her home. Thereupou Mrs. Collins sued him for $20,000 damages for libel, and obtained judgment by default. Now Gen. Young’s counsel moves to have the default opened, claiming that his client was in Paris at the time judgment was obtained against him and that his counsel had made a mistake as to the time when the suit was to be called up. » Justice Ingraham has granted the mo- tion. LESSONS FRODI THE VICTORIA. Arguments Against Large Ironclads and Cruisers. LONDON, Sep. 29.—-The annual meeting of the Armstrong and Mitchell company of shipbuilders, who constructed the war- ship Victoria, sunk in collision with the Camperdown, was held in London yester- day. In speaking of the collision Lord Armstrong contended that the arguments against building immense ironclads were unassailable. The same arguments, he said, held as good, however, against gi- gantic cruisers as against gigantic battle- ships. Thc collision off Tripoli had cer- tainly taught a valuable lesson. The strength and stability of the Camperdown’s prow ram were quite insufficient to enable her to deliver an effective blow without peril to herself. The same defect probably existed in the other rams. The life of a battleship, however, was fartoo valuable to be staked on the use of her ram. Besides, a big battleship was too unwieldy to give full effect to her ram. Lord Armstrong advocated, therefore, the building of several vessels especially designed for ramming. “These vessels should notbe too large,” he said, “and should be kept free from the costly com- plications of battleshlps. Personal dash on the part of the commander would be the principal quality needed in handling such arammer. The occasional loss of such an inexpensive vessel would be of small importance as compared. with the loss of a greatibattleship like the Vic- toria.” FATAL RETRI BUTION. Two Negroes Will Die from an Explosion or Stolen Powder. -_,q SAVANNAH, Sep. 29,—A special from Asheville to the Morning'News says: Two negroes, Shade Lee and Gus Alexander, met last night at Lee’s house to divide some stolen goods, among which was a 250-pound can of powder. In dividing the powder~ some was spilled on the floor. Shade threw a spoonful of this into the fire, which flashed and set off the remainder on the floor. This _in turn caused the can to explode, which demolished the house . and dreadfully mangled the two thieves. A shot gun lying near was also discharged, the load wounding Lee’s wife. Alexander was placed in jail, but he will probably die. Lee is expected to die. The Cruiser lildntgomery.

MILD Dir m toms HOW SOME' s'romes KEEP oomo Senator Peffor Does the Talking on the Sliver Question—Federal Election Laws the Topic of Debate in the House, With . Occasional Personuli ties. E WASHINGTON, Sep. 29.-—'The senate yes. terday was in a calm and quiescent mood, ryery diflerent from its condition the pre- “ ‘,ious day. There was only one instance in which there was a ripple on the surface of its proceedings, and that was over a matter of ancient historywhich Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mas'a,) brought up in the ,way of personal explanation on behalf of aformer colleague of his in the house of representa- tives, now long dead, Mr. Hooper. This senator was chairman of the committee on banking and currency at the time of the passage of what is commonly known as the silver demouetization 'act of 1873. A story has been in circulation to the effect that Mr. Ernest Seyd, a French writer on finance, has had much to do with the pas~ sage of that act by the usepf a corruption fund of $500,000 contributed by foreign capitalists. The absurdity, and falsity of the story have often been exposed, but it. always comes up again. A .recent letter from Mr. Seyd’s son asserting that his father had not been in the United States since 1853 was supposed to have given the slander its death blow, but it seems that even that statement failed of its purpose. In order to contradict it, an extract from one of Mr. Hooper’s speeches was published a few days since in the Peoria Journal (and a copy of the paper sent to Mr. Hoar) in which a reference to Mr. Seyd was made and the words “Now here” were fraudu. lently interpolated. In . denouncing the fraud Mr. Hoar forgot his usual benignity of manner and language, and characterized its author as belonging to the species of Mr. Cullom (rep, Ill.) came to the de- fense of the editor of the Peoria Journal, as a man who would not knowingly com- mit such a fraud and forgery. And it appeared, after much discussion, that the extract from Mr. Hooper’s speech has been floating about (thus falsified) for the last 15 or 20 years. ‘ The only speech made on the silver pur- chasing repeal bill was by Mr. Peffer (pop, Kas.). His remedy for the finan- cial trouble is the adoption of an amend- ment. offered by him 'to restore the free coinage act of 1837. With that amend- ment, he said, the repeal. bill could b passed in 25 minutes. E . The debate in the house yesterday on the federal election repeal bill was produc- tive of but little excitement. Mr. Breck- inridge of Kentucky and Mr. Johnson of Indiana became involved in a personal controversy, which at one time promised to become exciting, but finally lapsed int’o insignificance‘p Prior to this time there had been a a colloquy between Mr. Morse of Massachusetts and Mr. Fit-hian of: 1111-: was passed, but this also ended amicably;- TREASURY STATEDIENT.

Thenewspaper women of France are comparatively few. They are constant- ’ - ly accused of a total lack of the critical faculty and of a want of perception of the ridiculous. Furthermore, theirideas on ethics and philosophy are said to be “stale.” Nevertheless it is ' true that their contributions to magazines and pe- riodicals are impatiently awaited and widely .read, after which many Of’the masculine writers go into mental con- vulsious and tear their vocabularies in tatters in trying to prove that these femi- nine effusions were worse than worth- less. The women who, in spite Of this, per- sist in writing do not have sinecures.‘ Not long ago at a celebrated criminal trial a woman journalist presented her- self at the court as the judiciary reporter.I of a leading morning newspaper in Paris. The police are said to have been aghast when Mme. Severine drew forth her pad and pencil and demanded admission to the press tables. The guards'were some- what takeu aback, and, with a deplora- ble lack of French chivalry, wanted to turn her away. But, by wit or wiles of some sort, she gained her point and cleared a pathway for .all women report- ers who shall come after her. : Mme. Edmond Adam is another wom- an journalist, perhaps the leading one in Paris. She is a politician, author and editor. She has been honoredby the mu- nicipality of Paris in having her name given to one of the streets of the capital, an honor rarely bestowed on a person during his lifetime. It isn’t much of a. street, to be sure, the Rue Juliette Lam- ber but it is young and may grow some day. Under Napoleon III Mme. Adam had a salon in oppositiOn to the imperial government, and there she reigned. She was young and handsome then, with Soft, pretty hair and bright blue eyes. She was an intense, republican and a. great friend of Garibaldi. At the close of the Frafico-PrusSian war she had no one in France to particularly Oppose, so she se« lected Bismarck. Such phrases-as these have been attributed to her: “Bismarck and me!” “Bismarck was to have been overthrown by me l” “At last the czar condescends to follow my political views 2" She is a good speaker and can talk on al- most any subject. Her dinners are de- cidedly interesting. One-fourth of her guests are usually officers of the French army, another fourth is composed of po- iitical men, and the others are artists and literary people. The dinners are usually followed by receptions, which are at- tended by cabinet ministers, deputies. senators, There are, except on special occasions, few women. Mme. Severine is both more valiant and more sentimental than Mme. Adam. Severine, as she is familiarly called, is a well known figure in Paris. She has been nicknamed Mamzelle Gavroche and Jenny L’Ouvriere, and although she is much given to literary floods of tears, 'she" Writes vigorously and well. She has her own particular conceptions of good andevil. Severine imbibes her political views from The Cri du Peuple (The Voice of the People),‘and Mme. Adam drinks of the fountain of La Republique Fran- caise, founded by Gambetta. Severine’l ambition is to secure the abolition of capital punishment. ' Mme. Yver is a. curious figure in the 'nc'wspaper world. She frequents the. prefecture of police, and is remarkable for her- persistent praise of the police and the justice they dispense. “Good," in her mind, is represented by the prefect of police, the detectives and the gen— darmes, but never by the prisoners. Gyp is another woman journalist, but her name—Mme. de Martel—is better known in connection with novels on Pa~ riSian high life and as author of a few comedies. She is a noted contributor, in a very light vein, to that lively publi- cation, La Vie Parisienne. Gyp is popu- lar, and, besides being a. writer of great talent, paints with success. Perhapsthe most successful newspa- per women in Paris are those who write about the thing they know best—fash- ions. But men are encroaching some- what upon this territory, and altogether woman’s place in French journalism is not all that could be desired. —Ncw York Sun .

There was not a thing , to be learned about the British champion which could be learned from her perform- ance. She went drifting about the lower bay, stretching her newly bent sails, and when the evening was approaching she sig- nalled a tug and was brought back to her anchorage OR the Atlantic yacht club house. To the observers, the sails of the British champion did not appear to set Well, but that was not at all surprising considering that this was the first time they had been tried. To those who saw the Valkyrie, she did not seem to have the facility of driftingdey veIOped in such a remarkable degree as the Vigilant. That also proved nothing, as no eflort was made to take advantage of even the light airs which wandered from ' the northward over the almost unruflled surface of the waters. Thus from an in- ‘quisitive point of view and from one of more or less anxiety, the first sail of the Valkyrie proved nothing and showed noth- ing except that her nails did not set well at first. While the Valkyrie was stretching her sails the Vigilant was being hauled out of the water at City island. She went over from her anchorage off Mr. Iselin’s house at N ew Rochelle early in the day and will remain on the ways until Monday, when she will again be put in the water.
