of hundreds of ladies , wives sisters nnd
daughters of the nobles and the knights , nnd
to tno lasting urodit of Tangier temple bo it
recorded that In making up Us program of
outertammeut amnlo provision was made for
the members of the fair sax who added so
much grace and loveliness to this Interesting
occasion.
Another Informal but dollehtfuHv cordial
reception was tendered the visiting laalcs ill
the Pnxton parlors from ! ) to fi yesterday
afternoon. " Mrs. Judge Struwn and the
ladies of the Tangier nobles gave the visitors
a warm-hoarted , western welcome.
At fi o'clock the tnlly-hos and coaches were
brought to tbo door , and the cntiro party
was driven to Fort Omaha. General Brooke
had ordered an earlv d-ess parade for the
especial benefit of the strangers , and to
many of the castc'rn visitors It ws a novel
as well as an Inspiriting eight. Of course the
comp.mv of Sioux Indians nnd the tcpeus no-
cupled bv their fnmlllos cumo In for a goodly
slmro of interested attention.
For the evening a concert was planned at
the Paxton , and Mr. Whitney Morkridco nnd
Miss Grai.0 Altny of Chicago were engaged
to provide the program. They wuro assisted
by Miss Edlin Wagoner of this city. The
spacious parlors were throtixcd with ladies
and , despite the banquet at the Millard
thcto wis a liberal sprinkling of gentlemen
In evening dross and scarlet let.
The program won opanod by Mr. Mock-
ridge , an Omaha fuvorlto , who tola an Imas
Inarv maiden in thainostswcRtlysoiittmontil
tones that ho was waiting to brjatho tils love
Into her oars. No maid of ordinary suscep
tibility could have resisted the pleading of
so romantically exquisite a tenor , and the
audience gave thoyoune mau tnc encourage-
niontof Its approval.
Miss Wagoners taper fingers played with
quick nnd deft touch a pretty harmony of
Jncob Ludwig Follx Mendelssohn's , and won
a ripple of well bred applause.
When Miss Alrav dnwnua upon the com
pany lu the glory of blonde bo mty , n gnn-
crous but symmetrical tlguronud a hurdsoino
evening gown , n murmur of admiration
swept through tbo parlor nnd alone the corridors
riders and out upon the balcony. Miss A liny
has n line soprano of rather unusual slicngib
nnd f'-ilhirss , and she sang "Tho Son. Hath
Us Pearls , " ou exciuUlto ballad of love bv
that dreamy , philosophical , sentimental
Teuton , Hoinc , who of all men knew tno art
of Infusing music as well as soul Into cold
words.
Each perforator appeared several times
und the following Is the program ( except the
encores ) with which they made a delightful
cvonine for the assembled company :

Liosnox , Aug. Ifl. INovv York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Bf.n.l l or the Ilrst
tlmo In half n .century thuto Is todav n
duchess of Devonshire. Forty years ago a
bright , handsome Gorman girl , daughter of
Count von Alton ofjlahovor was si nt over
to England to bccotno the wlfo ot the duke
of Manchester , nnd'jh tlmo mother-in-law of
Miss Consueln Yzusgn of Now York.
The txvo great families of Montague and
Cavendish had ninny adulations , and It was
only natural that tt > duchess of Manchester
should tnko n matcraal Interest in the affairs
of the motherless . ' 'marquis of Ilortlngton ,
who WOF five or slxjyonrs her Junior. This
friendship wns contlnuod without break until
tbo death of the oldjduko of Manchester , two
years ago , when gossips began to spread a
rbport that tho' noble marquis would soon
wed the friend of his youth , who wns now
on tbo slirdy ildo of.alxty.
Whatever truth Ljay In this rumor was
stilled for the time being by the death of
the duke of Devonshire , whoso memory had
to bo respected by hls chief mourners. I
know , too , that the jJdwatrcr would have mart
rlod aguln Immediately nftor the mourning
season bad ulapso < - but the sudden and
alarming Illness of pr son , the duke of Man
chester , formerly yU'countMandoville , again
frustrated the planih A decided chaugo for
the better In hUgMCO's condition during the
past week giivo tlTei.cslroil opportunity , nnd
today the duke bj , Devonshire and the
dowager duchess of'Manchestor became man
and wlfo. < '
Tno ceremonies ftt Christ church , Down
street , were comhipted with the utmost
secrecy , probably Because the duke desired
to direct as far as possible the attention of
the public from tho''nffiilr , which , though ho
tmiv regard It as p"oullaaly his own , has be
longed to socIety' OaslpYor many years.
I have , no doubt-fyoliig ! Victor Cavendish ,
at present heir tojtho dukoiiotn of Dovon-
shlro , who last week .divided a legacy of
$9,000,000 with the ! , bjjdogroom of today ,
will offer his sineo'rest congr.itdlallons to the

Identified with thy radicals has been np-
polntod to a cabnufippiitiou. ! The old set
are mailerifof 't ltuatio"n. < Minber3 , of
old whig families and liberal medi
ocrities having , aristocratic * connec
tions , never associated with extreme
views , have boon Mr. Gladstone's exclusive
choice. Even Mr , Stan Held , who in the last
Gladstone cabinet , represented democratic
opinion , has been sholircd. Report says that
Mr. Bryce may yet como in as first commis
sioner of wqrlis \\ith n scat in the cabinet.
but this Is only JiUoly to happen if Mr.
Gladstone finds the storm of radical Indigna
tion to overpowering as to compel the ap
pointment of Mr. Bryce.
The ofliciul list , when scanned tonight at
the National Liberal club , awoke vehement ,
protest. Member ; of strong radical tenden
cies turned from the announcement with ex
pressions of scorn and anger. "Was it for
this undiluted list of old mon associated uith
traditions of whlggoryT" with some now re ;
crults from tbo territorial and aristocratic
class , that the radicals had given their
money and tholr tllndJi1 Th s was tha gen
eral Question and the responsive picdictlon
followed that such a government could not
last three months offer I'alllamcnt resumed
business. . . .
Clmruetor of-tlio Cnliliiot.
Apart from radlcat'oplnlon , the cabinet Is
really composed of eminently reputable men.
Mr. Gladstone ban preferred collecting
around him tried colleagues , accustomed to
subordination and Certain not to deviate
into strange ways. His three now cabinet
minister , Messrs. Apqulth , Arnold Morlcv
and Acland , are sound liberals. Mr. Asqultb
alone Is slightly tainted with radicalism , but
he has a legal mind with such n stroug bias
toward high ofllco as makes him malleable
ou principles. Arnold Morley Is lu everything -
thing Gludstoniun. Mr. Aclund has potent
old whig family connections and is heir to
'liirgo estates.
Probably Mr. Gladstone will try to
strengthen his position by olTcrint' minor
posts to Mr. Stuart , the radical loader of thn
London county council , Mr. Hunter , now tno
leader of the Scotch radicals , Mr. Burt , Mr.
Bonn and others. Air , Sbnw-Lofovra is
likely to got the ministry of agriculture , but
nothing Mr. Gladstone can oftor will prevent
the radical loaders. , Immediately upon thu re-
rssembling of parliament , from showing re-
sontmontut tholr exclusion from oflluo.
Why l.iLby Wn l.vtl Out.
Fortunate ministerialists explain tonight
that the name of Labpucbere was on thu list
which Mr. Gladstone presented to the queen ,
but that her majesty btlngirrocoiicilnblor > 1r.
Gladstone was forced tjb olldo iho name. Mr.
Luboucbero's friends 'refuse to credit thU
statement und poiut to the omission of
other radicals as prqViiiK the hollowness of
the excuse. The op a truth is that Mr.
G adslono detests 'Mr.jLaboucUoro und that
thu laltnr heartily reciprocates. Nothing In

New Oiit.niss , La. , Aug. 10. Tno Plcny-
uno's Houston , Tex. , special sayii : Tbo
democracy Is rout In twain and n double-bar
reled convention Is the result. The same
scones as wpro enacted in this city four years
ago , during the Stewart-Hutcbmson cam-
puln , occurred today. It was a foregone con
clusion that If the Hoj people , who had
about two-thirds of the Instructed delegates ,
nltcmptud to control the convention as they
had a perfect right to dc , the Clark people
would bolt. They hud agreed upon n line of
policy nt their secret caucuses today , nnd
they carried ( tout , the convention never com
pleting , or oven going into temporary organi
zation.
When Chairman Finley "called the dole-
sates to order ho counseled moderation nnd
falrnoss , and told the delegates to smother
the passion and prejudice which had been
engendered during the bitter campaign of
the past thrco months , warning them of the
dangers of a divided democracy. IIi > an
nounced that the Ilrst thin ? was the election
of a temporary chairman. J. L. Snbpard of
Camp county wns nominated by the Ilocg
people and Jonathan Lane ot Fayette , a con
tested uounty , by the Chirk faction. Chair
man Flnloy ordered tbo secretary tp road
the roll by counties nnd then a mighty yell
of opposition wont up.
Full of S.mmt mill Fury.
In numbers the Clarlc people had them.
For the 20J votes thov had fl.OJJ men to cast
them , and the convention , Instead of bnlng n
body of constituted delegates , was in the
hands of the multitude. Ex-Senator Mat
tock moved that the vote on * election of
chairman bo taken viva vocc. Chairman
Flnloy ralod this out of order nnd
than the storm of indignation broke
out afresh. Hundreds of delegates
were en tholr feet wildly gesticulating and
endeavoring to secure recognition , while the
thousands In the ball were howling llko
darvlsbos. Through the din of voices Mat
tock appealed from the dscUion of the chair.
With stoical Indifference Finloy refused to
entertain the appeal nnd ordered thn clerk to
proceed with the rollcall. Many Clark
common refused to voto. and tbo call bv
counties showed that Sbopard was over
whelmingly elected.
Just as the result was being announced ex-
Senator Mattock jumped on n chair and de
clared that the minorlly had been stilled and
bulldozed. Thu chulrhad , ho said , violated
all parliamentary law and custom , nnd ho
asked nil these who favored the election of
Lane for tomrorary chairman to sigulfv by
saving "ayn. " The Clnrk delegates and the
spectators all chimed In nnd u mighty shout
went UP from ( S.OOO throats , and Mattock de
clared Lane elected.
I'lstulH llnd Ivn vos In Air.
In an Instant the Clark banner was hoisted
and then a mighty rush was jpado for the
platform to.securo half of It. Tbo scene Is
indescribable. Men In angry passion were
surging , pushing and pulling at tbo tables
and cbulrs nnd nil the time yelling and cur *
ing. Several lights were going on lu tbo
audience und pistols and dangerous looklac
knives wore flourished. For sevoi al minutes
It looked as though a bloody scene of carnage
would bo enacted. Ono reporter who had
gained a seat of vantage was In the mad
itumpodo hurled a dlstnnco of thirty f.ot on
the heuds of some of the crowd below.
At last a semblance of order was wonicd
out of ohaos < As though by mutual consent
the murderous looking pistols and knivrn
were put back In packets and each side took
half the platform and h'all , Shepard presid
ing over the Hogg convention nnd Lane over
tbo Clnrk legion.
Both sides at last gotdown to business and
begun the work of organization bv appoint
ing the usual committees , when an adjourn
ment was taken.

troubles over tbo employment of convicts at
the coal mines under the Icitso system In this

Spring this morning ,
Early this morning about 003 free minors
were observed by Hnid Warden Farrls op.
pro.ichlng the stockade. They marched la

exclaim : "Closo up. boys , nnd lot's
take 'em. " The warden yelled back , "Como
on and got us If you con. " Then the miners
opened n hot fusllado from two sides and
firing contlnuod for some tlmo , the minors
advancing nil the tiiro. The guards , ln
trenched behind the stockade , responded
with a galling lira nnd soon two or throe ol
iho miners were seen to fall and one guard
was wounded. The miners hoisted a Hag ol
truoa and asked permission to carry off tholr
wounded/ . This wns granted nnd throe
wounded men worn removed , and the minors
sullenly withdrew to cover and prepared for
a second attack.
Milltln to thn Kront. ,
The news of the skirmish was flashed nil *
over the state , the lint ofllclal confirmation
jolng a dispatch from the adjutant itonornl
to Colonel Calor Wood directing him to or-1
.lor out the Third roglmont of the Tennessee ]
National guard and report with all available ,

alarm was sounded nt the courthouse and
soon mounted officers ware soon In all parts

BIWAI.O , N. Y. , Aug. 10. There were no
sensational developments In iho switchmen's
strike during the night and the situation has
Improved. With two excellent regiments of
the national guard in the Held and the police
reinforced by 20J specials , the feeling Is
much more reassuring than yesterday. The
police claim to bo able to handle tbo ttrlka
within the city limits.
Thuro wore no Indications this morning of
a strike on tbo Central. It Is known that A
committee of switchmen was Rent to Super
intendent Burrows of the Central , however ,
yesterday , for a conference. ) Mr , Burrows
was out on the road , but a statement wai
forwarded him. A reply was received , but *
it gave the men DO satisfaction.
A special from Lyons says n great Amount
of perishable and tlmo froiuat is arriving
Uiero from Buffalo and bolus transferred
o the Fall Brook to run down to Corning ,
und thence over the Erie to Its destination.
Owing to the action of the Fill Brook nnd
Central Hudson accepting freight from tha
Lohich and Erie It Is thought u general otrlk
may bo ordered on these lines. Ofllcials nt
Lyons think It probable switchmen will bo
ordered outnlongtho Central and WostSbora
In sympathy with the Lohlgh and Erl6
stilkers.
"Sympathy" Toured on tlio Central ,
