An nvantfnl Voyncc.
Nnvv YOIIK. Oct. H [ Special Telegram
to the HIKI : The last voyage of the steamer
America seems to have been an eventful
ono. The following Is the story as given by
the log : The America left Queenstown
Thursday morning n week ao with fair
weather , but within two hours after loivlng
the harbor a storm came up whloh the oftlcors
of the ship describe as the most violent that
the vessel over passed through. Captain
Hraco went to the bndgo at the llrst sign of
bul weather and remained there for forty-
two hours , exposed not only to the wind and
rnln but to the waves which , during Thurs
day night , was clear over the bridge , tilltne
the life boits with water and clearing every
tiling from the decks that a foico of ten fet't
of water could move. In the midst of the
storm the stoker , who had narrowly escaped
being hurled into thu lire by the pitching of
the vessel , deserted Ids post and rushed up
on deck with the avowed intention of jumpIng -
Ing overboard rather than risk again the
danger ot his work. Ho was forced bacK to
the furnace room , but his fright soon devel
oped Into Insinlty , and he was found crouch
ing between the two furnaces in abject ter
ror , nwaltlug ntiothur opportunity to commit
suicide. Ho vvns placed in irons. At the
same timeamnlc was created in the steerage -
ago bynn alarm of "lire , " and several hun
dred men and vv onion lushed to the hatches
endeavoring to cet to the boats. Dense vol
umes of what seemed to be smoke thiough-
out the ship caused alarm nnd the
olllceis in charge had a desperate lisrht for
some time to control tlio frightened steerage
pa MMieers. Investigation snowed that the
"sinoki ) ' " was merely steim caused by some
water having washed over the hot steam
pipes , but airaln flighthad developed Into a
case of Insanity , and ono ot tlio steerage
pa semersnn Encllshinnn who had deserted
his family and his position on an Kn-jlish
imllcn force , now attacked the stewards with
araxorand threatened to kill nny ono who
tried to prevent his jumping overboard. He
was placed under watcli after being dis
armed , and became quieter after thu stoim
had subsided. The cook was severely In
jured during the storm by being thrown
across the kitchen withn knifu in lit : hand ,
cutting nis head. About noon on Saturday
Captain Grace left the bridge , the ship being
entirely out of danger , but his forty-two
hours'exposure without sleep ami the nerv
ous strain caused bjtht ) clnpter ot incidents
icfeirod to was too much forliim. Five min
utes after coming ol ! duty the leactlou de
veloped into a congestive chill , nnd at 11-33
. he died. His daughter was with him.
& n Saturday morning the insane Englishman
succeeded iu4 > reaking away from his guards
In the steeraire , and amid great excitement
among the men , women and children who
witnessed the strmrsrle , he leaped oveiboard
and wns drowned. " On Monday a baby died
in tno steerage nnd It was buried at sea the
next morning. The deatli of Captain Grace
caused deep grlet among the cabin p.isson-

PiTTsnuiio , Pa. , Oct ; , 23. The action ol
the Knights ot Labor atj Klchmoiul , In inak
Ing a plea for mercy In bphalfo of the con
victed anarchists at Chicago , has caused con
sideruble comment among the conservative
labor leaders of this city. . There were othei
measures adopted and recommended af tin
Ulchmond convention which are quietly bin
nevertheless severely criticized by member
of the order In PHUburg. Thomas A. Ann
strong says : "The plea lu behalf of the an
nrchists Is very much out of place. It Is i
disgrace to the order and Is not In accord vvltl
the sentiments of a majority of the members
We have nothing In common with anarchists
no more than we have with murderers , am
the line should be clearly drawn. The nn
arotusts of the country will construe tin
net ion of the Klchmond convention to mcai
that the knights are Inclined to sympathize
with them. It demonstrated one thing , thi
Homo clue element which ruled the 8 onven
tlon and which passed the resolution jester
day is more or less In sympathy with the an
nrchistic element. This faction will not tx
allowed to prostitute the noble purposes o :
the order. Reports from the Richmond con-
yentlon showed that there was war in tin
ranks , and it will continue until semi
wrongs are righted. " Mr. Armstrone voicet

foi that rcnson none the le s In earnest.
Each feels that ho is smicthliigiiiore than an

representative of the thousands of voters
who people this state ; that ho Is the advocate
of principles which his constituents mini-
tnin ; that tlio triumnh of the principles of

In spite of the admonition ot doctors nnd
ftiundsnnd throat troubles ho lias stood on
the pint f 01 m day after day for nearly four
moiuhs and advocated the cause of repub

four \\hlte horses , A joint procession con
sisting ot M\eral bundled men lolloped

in this "A ar of the loses , " as the ii ce has
been termed bj Uob Taj lor , the democratic
candidate. This being the closing ot thu
cauipaien , greater Interest than nsuil vvns
taken in this mooting. Alf , the re
publican candidate , was the first to speak.
Ho lauded the honesty of purpose of
the brave confederates who for 516 ? a mouth
In confederate money took their lives in their
hands .nut bled fioiu shoeless feet for a lost
cause , still believing their pilnelples were
right. He arraigned tne leaders of tlio demo

the masses , statin , : that the democratic party
reptesented dead Issues , while the ictmbli-
can uaity eamo Into power icpresuntlnt : free
thought , free speech , and protection to honest
labor. While the democratic patty of Ten
nessee fa voted tlit * convict leise nnd scr nt
systems , tha republican pirty was opposed
to tho-o iniquities , and if ho was elected gov
ernor lie would hnvo those evils abolished at
.anv cost. Hocontlnued :
Much has been said ot the nttltudo which
the republican party sustains to the question
of submitting a prohibitory amendment to
thepcoDta. In the bill of rights which was
reserved to'the people when the constitution
was framed , the power of amending the con
stitution Is expressly specinod , and they
should not be robbed ot that rlcht I gc
even further than tne convention did when
it announced itself in iavor of submitting
the question to the people for a vote , and
say that the people have tfie right to vote on
nny and nil questions which nffeet their
rlehts as citizens of n Rteat government. The
icpublican party favors the education of the
masses at the public expense. It has placed
itself so upon the recoul by Its advocacy
of the policy embodied in what is known
its the Ulalr educational bill. This was
xiasscd in the republican senate and > oi
would have supposed from the piofesslons of
friendship to the people whien the demo-
ci , its have made that it would have been
passed in the house , where they have a ma-
joiityof at least seventj-hvo , in live minutes ,

Hob Tn > lor was then Introduced. His
speech was an arritrnment of the republlcm
partv , together with the hackneyed jokes
w Itn which ho has rojaled his audiences dur
ing this canvass as he did with the luldle in
his race for congress tour > ears ago. Jit
hung mound the neck of the republican
party the following millstones , which were
to drag the party down to the bottom
of the sea. The contraction ofan immense
debt ; thu destruction of the navy :
the jostorinK ot monopolies ; the Credit .Mo
bller case ; the star-route trauds ; the Indian
rings ; a henvy war taxation twenty years
after the war ; voting aw ay five times as initcli
for educational puiposes as would be ob
tained by the provisions of the Ulalr bill. In

a recurrence of the dreaded forest lues tint
have caused such havoc and destruction In
[ list j ears' The fear of the llames has at last
n renll/cd. On Mondiy night a spark
from an engine on the Hew Jeisey Southern
railroad started a contlagiation that has
Inco been sweeping through nmu > thousand
acres of land In Atlantic and Hurllngton
counties , and doing Incalculable damage to
the trrow Ing trees nnd cranberry boas.
When tlio nlarm was given the lire tmd at
tained considerable headwav and was sweepIng -
Ing with rcilstli" force In the direction of
Taunton mm Medford , The lire near Herlln
was stopped beloie It had done much dam
age , but atterwards broku out afresh and
made its appearance on the borders of Ulrch's
cranberry bos. It then swerved nrounu as
the wind changed and moved In a northerly
direction toward the extensive bo s of
Josepn Hlndimin. A lire brigade was sent to
the icene , and another contingent kept back
to guard the buildings nnd storehouses
from a tire In the rear. The long drought hail
dried up the sipnngs-and water-courses , nnd
tho' ground ivas as dry ns tinder. The only
way to head off the flames vvns by back-thing
or cutting down the undcibrush and digging
a trench , which In several instances was
successful and sived manv valuable cian-
bcrry bogs fioin dcstiuction. The weiry
file lighters had to be relieved nmeral times
during Tuesilav nUht. At n little illitanco
from the scene nbioid sheet of llamo could
beci'ii above the tn'o tops , advancing with
staitling rapidity , and accompanied by n roar
like that of a cataract. The wind canlcd a
shower of sparks which set tiio to the woods
in advance , causing the hio brigade
to be constantly on the lookout
lest they should be suriounded by the llames
botoru tlie.v knew It. Once they cnmo neat
being hemmed In. and escaped almost by a
miracle. Many fo.\e3 , rabbits and other
pime were seen fleeing from the tlames , and
many were destroved. Ycslcidiy mnintnirn
party went out from Medford to relie"o the
men who had been at woric nearly all night.
and a Ftrons effort was made to get the lirr
under control , but It was not successful.
Already many valmblo cedar swamp- * have
