The Cunarder service lost one of its passengers just as it was leaving the dock t'lis afternoon. The incident had a sufficiently roman-tic flavor to ser.--e for state-root- n and steerage gossip during several hours. The parties most interested were Miss Kate Walsh, a pretty telegraphic opera-tor in Birmingham, who had embarked from Liverpool, and Mr., Feeley, who hails from the same city;'" Young Fee-le- y has been very attentive to Mis Vt also for a long time, and was quite disconsolate when she left for America. After the steamer sailed yesterday he made uy his mind that he could not live without her. He resolved to overtake the steamer at Queeostowo. He board-ed the Cunarder and found the pretty operator, whom he begged to go ashore and marry him. She consented, but said to her once bashful lover.-- . "You should have asked me before, you were almost too late." OPEN TOJE PUBLIC. The Secret Oath of the Fenian Brother-hood Abolished by the Conven-tion at Patterson, IT. J, TEOUBLE IH THE IEI8H S00IETIE8. The General Secretary Said it was Caused by the Handa of Designing Men-N- ew Branch of the Order. New York, Oct. 22; The biennial convention of the Fenian Brotherhood closed at Patterson, New Jersey, last night after a three days session. More than 200 delegates were present, repre-senting all aections of the United States. ' By far the most important action of the convention was the unanimous en-dorsement of the recommendations of the general secretary abolishing the secret oath of the organization. Here-after all transactions of the brotherhood will be open and the public will be free to attend all meetings. In bis report, the general secretary attributed the disruptions and disasters to Irish organizations in the past two years to the faot that men with selfish personal ends had, through the misuse of the secrecy clause in the constitution, forced themselves into power. There was no dissenting voice when the resolution was put to a vote. A special committee, appointed on the future of the organization, in their report recommended that the Fenian Brotherhood hereafter be an open or-ganization: that military and naval companies be organized, and ninety per cent of the receipts may be devoted to this purpose; the companies to be known as the Fenian Volunteers and to be held in readiness to assist the United States in case of a foreign war. The following oouncll was elected: George Smith, chairman; Captain Dris-cal- l, John Dowling, Francis Rea, B. O'Hara, Thomas Simpson, . Whalen, James Barrett and Roderick J. Ryan. John Murphy was; reelected treasurer. j IN RECARD TO PENSION ACENTS.o Agent Harolay, or riltitonreh, Uewllaaa la "ll New finnii-- Vasihi;tox.

The question as to 'whether this act was Intended to apply to all agents or only to such as see fit to avail them-selves of (he provisions of this act, was referred to the assistant attorney gen-eral of the Interior department, who hold the opinion that the provision re-ferred to was mandatory, and all pen-sion agent now in olllee are by It re-quired to give bonds. Pension Agent Barclay at Pittsburg has notified the department that tir will not tile a new bond and Secretary Noble says he will be dismissed, burned. Mail Agent C. L.

A serious tail end wreck occurred this morning on the Union Pacific near Armourdale. Nine persons were seriously injured and the engineer fatally. The eastbound freight which leaves the depot before the Union Pacific passeuger train was delayed near the scene of the accident, and, as thero was a very heavy fog, placed torpedoes on the track to warn the following train. The pas-senger engineer, warned by the torpedoes, stopped his train," and be-fore the flagman could be sent back to work the east bound Rock Island trains following it, it crashed into the Pullman sleeper of the Union Pacific. The Rock Island engine was completely wrecked. The engineer was buried un-der the debris. The fireman jumped out and received severe bruises. The damage is estimated at $60,000. .The following are the injured: Pat Clellan, engineer, will die. John Duff, fireman, fractured jaw and internal injuries.

A passenger train on the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham railroad which left here at 0 o'clock last night, west bound, went out leaving a sleeper and its conductor in the station. Discovering the fact six miles out of town, the engineer began backing into Birmingham. At Thomas' furnace, three miles out of the city the backing train met an outgoing freight, and there was a ter-rible collision. Several passengers in the rear coach were killed and a num-ber wounded.

A disastrous collision occurred at 4:40 o'clock this morning on the Cincinnati & Southern railway in a tunnel a quarter of a mile north of Sloan's Valley station, between a freight and passenger train. The latter lelt Cincinnati, at 8 p. ni. An-other passenger train left Cincinnati an hour earlier. ' Both of these were held at Somerset, Ky., two hours or more on account of a freight wreck south of that place last night. When the track was clear the foremost Cincinnati train started out from Somerset first, and met and passed safely the northbound freight. Then the other passenger started out. When the first Cincinnati train pass-ed out the crew of the freight appeared to have overlooked the fact that an-other was to follow and they pulled out and started northward. Less than a quarter of a mile away they entered the tunnel, one-sixt- h of a mile long. It was the most hopeless place a train ever meet death. The engines of the two trains dashed into each other and the cars followed. A horrible confla-gration followed. No description of the scenes is given. Only the bare results were telegraphed to the officials of the road here Firemen Gould and Welsh, Brakeman JohnE. Montgomery, Express Messen-ger Edward Ruffner, and the mail agent were killed.' Engineer Taylor of the passenger train, and M. D. Timlott of the freight were badly burned. The baggagemas-le- r was injured. No passengers were killed. If any were injured their names have not yet been ascertained. Later Young Paine, a commercial traveler, had both legs crushed, and has since died. The delay to passenger trains by an-other wreck was caused by a mistake of the engineer and conductor of the freight train. Fortunately the passenger train had not entirely gone into the tunnel when the crash came and so the three sleep-er- a, which did not leave the track, served as a means of escape for the passengers. All of the train except the three sleepers was burned.

REIGN OntllON. Irelatd, ayi Gladstone, is the Last Fort-ress of Miira'a and Op-pression. MIZ2B TO THE TlpriBABT CASE The Government a Perfect Pattern of Il-legality A Tw Comment oo the B mxL Loxpo, Oct. 83. Gladstone a4 dressed an audience of 5000 people at the Corn F.iclunge at Edinburgh last evening. Ireland, he said, routinued to overshadow all other subject. The country taw fully recognised that th Irish question must be settled before another. The opponent. of home rule had hoodwinked and deluded theircoa-stituenc- ie by pledging Ihcmselve against coercion, promising local and expressing themselve agaiust the granting of larger advance to the British government to buy out landlords. Yet. their first favoriM measure after gaining power wa coer-cion. Local government was vanishing in thin air, and there wa a proposal before parliament grantiug 40.000.000 to buy out the landlord. The cooeerr-ativ- e administration of the law wa worse than the law lleelf. The govr-me- at itself wa a perfect patters of Il-legality. (iladstone referred" to the Ttpperary affair. It was grossly Illegal, he Mid, to close the door of a courthouse against the people. The appointment of Magistrate .Shannon to try the rate was a groea scandal. If such trick were played In England by wanton-nea- a of power very shortly a way would be found to remedy sucb abuse. Alter the example of police miscon-duct at Mirhrll.iown and Tlpperary It was impossible to rpect the police or administration of the law by then. Their brutality and harshness const-lute- d the crowning lusult of absentee stnthegriMset that could be Indicted on the people at surh a time. The nt vaunted Itself oo peace in Ire-land, yet kept sli time more police-it.c- n there than lu England and Scot-land. The British tax payer paid over a million and a half pounds yearly la the Irish police, simply to esjt In col-lecting rent for landlords, On this great .utt.n of Ireland, Gladstone concluded, the last of the fortms of misrule aad oppression) would go down before the liberal' at-tack. ' The Chronicle rank Gladstone' speech among his tinsl oratorical efforts, and say his scathing exposure of the common reign will tell upon the ministerial position. The Telegraph sav even the hark-neye- d nature of' the sutjfwl failed to render the speech dull. (lu theoilii-rhsnd- . the Time aavtt "We entild conceive of nothing duller or more threadbare."

Indian Commluioner Morgan Continue! In Hie Opposition to Their Removal. ' Washington, Oct. 22. Indian in his forthcoming annual report to the secretary of the interior, will persist In his opposition to the removal of the southern Utes. After reciting the fact that the agree-ment with the southern Ute Indians of Colorado in the fall of 1888, which has excited groat popular interest through-out the country, is still pending in Con-gress, the commissioner will say: "Friends of the Indians are loth to bclisve that it will be for the best in-terests of the Indians to take them from the fertile valleys of their present reser-vation and settle them upon the barren unproductive lands of the proposed reservation in Utah. They believe they should bare lands alloted to them iu severalty on their present reservation, where it would be reasonable to expect they would eventually become g citizens. ' The southern Utes are the only In-dians now remaining in Colorado, and they number less than 2000. Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin each have over three times as many, Montana five and California six times as many. North Dakota and South Dakota four and ten times as many respectively, and the state of Washington five times as many, so that in the distribution of our Indian population to those who regard their presence as a detriment, Colorado seems to have been much more fortu-nate than many of her sister states."

The independent feeling which existed yesterday among the members of the various conference committees has been strengthened and become a determination to stand by t,he course already outlined by each committee. It is admitted that the present state of affairs is due to the ac-tion of the players in forcing cheir way into the committee conference of the Flayer's league. The question asked by all tiiis mprniug at the met'ting was whether the Na-tional league would ' confer with the players. Ward, Uanlou and Irwin of the conference committee of the Na- - tional league, said they would not, and the capitalists of the Flayers league said they would not enter into any such conference. During the morning the various committees held private con-ferences the result of which could not be ascertained. LATE LOCAL.

The Gold Htandard of Austria-Hunga-ry Affected It. London, Oct. 22. One cause of the decline in the price of silver since the recovery which followed the final pas-sage of the American silver bill, has been the anticipation of a movement in Austria-Hungar- y toward the adoption of the mono-metalisti- c gold standard. This movement has certainly been pro-moted by a strong party in the kingdom of Hungary, where the agricultural in-terest has become alarmed at the pros-pect of lower prices, and where there is a strong political feeling in favor of a closer alliance with England. The adoption of a gold standard by the Austria-Hungar- y would of course throw a fresh mass of silver on the markets, and develop a demand for some 25,000,000 sterling of gold. Dur-ing the past week the subject has been mude interesting in London by arrival here of Herr Lang, who comes as an agent, accredited by the government of Counszapary. to study the situation in England, and to look into the feasibility of the operation. He has had confer-ences with some of the magnates of this city, and it may be said with some con-fidence that the prospect of the adop-tion of a gold standard by Austria-Hungar- y is by no means promising.

He will be remem-bered for his universal courtesy and obliging disposition by every English-man and American who ever did busi-ness at the United States consulate, and he has given more time to taking up the cases of destitute American sailors and others of his cauntrymen and wo-men stranded in London than he has spent in his dinations. Johnson leaves the consulate because he pines to get back to his original vocation, journal-ism, and he will probably identify himself hereafter with some New York paper. Tho Bourbun Legislators.
