TflinM TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCn.l
Cincinnati, Aug. 20. Of the twenty
fiivc ambitious young men who reached
first in the great bat
tle of the rival hard
luck, onlv three of
them got through
tiokcK One Rc.il
earned his passage.
So did one of the
Pittsburg, but the
others lipped through
on blunders. In
every inning of the
game did the Reds
hae men on bases
and the sam; specta
cle was presented by
the Pennvl vanias
second. It was Ned Hanlon
who prevented the Reds from getting there.
With McVheeon first, the result of his hit,
Latham dro e the ball into deep left. Han
lon bv a great run caught it. So great was
the speed he had attained that Mcl'hcc who
had turned second was unable to hurry back
and "save a double play. Hollielay who bad
scored th:Vc failures to send in runs added
another to his record and
PlTTSlintO MOVED UP
on the guardians of seventh place
Ton minutes before the time for calling
plav a telceram arrived from Omaha which
gave the licels. legal possession of Halligan,
and he went into right, relieving Curtis,
ltcilly's hand was still very tomato tinted
and Kccnan covered flr-t. The IJeds got four
men on liases during the first three innings,
but none of them succeeded in breaking by
llieibaucr. Three accented gilts from Bald
win and Latham cracked out a doublo into
right. The Pittsburgs did 1101 get so many at j
fiist, but Ilicrbauer sot nil the wav round. 1
lie put out a rather scrub oy bit past hcenan
"With two out 1:1 the third. "Little Person''
lid not look elimrerous, but he Mim-hed the
liallorer Halligan'-. iicad. .iocfco' ccs were
slow to locate tlic ball, and he threw up his
liand? in vain as it passed over. Shugart ran
to third, where lie wn-. lett on Miller's fly to
thcGladiaieir. It na. IJrovwiing who opened
lip the foul th withn sharp drive into left,
ltboundcd into Hanlon'a hands, and tho
late
inspector or red lights
was compelled to hustle to reach second.
Xc-cnan's tap wat taken in by liiei bailor,
but it enabled Fictro to reach third and ho
took desperate chances and bcored after
Hanlon had cauglit Ilalligan's short fly.
l'ittsburc at once drew away and the run
that Hanlon scored proved to be thew inning
one with two out Hanlon hit to Keenan
undas Itlnnes was slow in covering first the
throw was beaten out. It as a talal blun
der. Keilly's hit was a corker to center field
nnd Hanlon leached third. When Keiily
Malted lor eeoml Harrington throw the
ball to intercept him. Neither Jicl'hee nor
frmltii co ei-ed second and the sphere passed
between them and Ilaulou scored. In no
other inning did Pittsburg cct a man past
M-cond. but ilalligan's gnib ol Hi-nlon's live
Ilv in the eighth did nothing but spoil a
liome run. Attendance. 70s. eoi-c:

SOME M0EE SUGGESTI0KS.
Our Eastern Friend Has a Tew Additional
TTonls to Say About tbo Local Team.
Sporting Editor of the Dispatch:
I see by this morning's Xew York ..Sim that
the Pittsburg club has signed Ward, of
ilinneapolis, and Lally, of Xew Haven: also
that tht, club is after Johnson, or Cincinnati,
and Arthur Whitney. Word, is a good man
and Lally may do well, though he is by no
means the best man that could be secured
from the Eastern Association, cither in bat
ting or fielding. His batting average is .20
and fielding is .3.0 Daly, of Portland, has
.31."! in batting and .010 in fielding. I certainly
hope tho Pittsburgs will fail to get both
Whitney and Johnson. Whitney is a good
fielder, but never was and never will bo a
good batter. Johnson is one of the "has
beens" inevcry enseof tho word. Ho is a
lusher, a poor fielder and as a batter an
entire failure. He was net good enough for
the Cincinnati and why should Pittsburg
want him? The day lor playing on past
reputation is cone.
Oorkhill is another illustration of a plaved
out batter, though he is still a good fielder.
In the Western Ast-ociation there aio still
several good batsmen. Among them are
Kyn, a deaf mute, ot Minneapolis: Hurkett,
of last year's N'ew Yorks. If a good third
baseman is needed why not try to get Pickett,
of Kansas L'itv?
In my opinion no better third baseman
than Jewell is needed. Ho came with a
most biilliant record both as batter and
fielder, and jet is given no lair chance. Is
this talr to him or to tho patrons of the
game? Hanlon is goingalong making errors
almost every day, and it is no sccrot that ho
does not care whether Pittsburg wins or not.
Can-oil has improved greatly m his batting
latelj, and shouhiffivowavnoithcr to Hanlon
orCorkhili. I beliee. as I have bolioved
for some time, that as long as Hanlon is in
the team it will not be successful. It is a
fact that cannot be disputed that tho team
won a greater percentage of tho games it
plajcd without than with Hanlon. Evcry
maii that Pittsburg ever got trom tno West
ern Association has proved a success. Their
names, are IJcckley, Staiey and Shugnrt.
Then why not try some more of the samo
medicine and not cling to the fallen stars of
other clubs? Yours, J.C.J.
Xew York, August 19.
CABE0LL AND NEWELI. EELEASED.
TwoMoro Local Players Cast Adrift An
other Onttleldcr May Bo Signed.
As anticipated in Wednesday's DisrATOH,
Ficd Carroll, together with Now ell, were re
leased by the local club j-esterday. Their
release were unconditional and cannot well
surprise local patrons of baseball. Every
player on the team has recently come in for
Mich a big dose of public criticism and cen
sure that there need bo no surprise at any
body's release. It is this public censure that
is forcing tho cliib officials to take action
and doubtless moie releases will follow
shortly.
Fred Carroll is one of the oldest members
of tho local baseball organization. He has
weathered the storm with tho local team for
a number of years, and there was a time
when his nanie coupled with that of Morris
struck terror to opposing nines. "Morris
and Carroll" w ere indeed, a famous battery
and gave Pittsburg probably a greater
inominence than any other battery hero.
:"rcd at all times has done his best and when
his best was successful nobody was prouder
than Fred. It is to be hoped he and Xewell
will soon find a place on a good team.
It may be that another outfielder mav be
signod within a few da vs. Elforts' are being
made to sign a first class man.
Somewhat Mixed Up.
rSrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
Braot-ord, Aug. 20 There were no games
to-day in the Xew York and Pennsylvania
League, owing to the mixed state of affairs
in the combination. The League will hold a
meeting in olenn to-monow to dotermino
whether or not they will continue with four
clubs.
Lincoln Is Out.
Ltncoltt, Aug. 20. Lincoln is no longer n
member of the Western Baseball Associa
tion. At a meeting last night it was decided
to disband the club. The players are pre
paring to leave the city.

MAXSriELn has secured a good man in the per

should be gieu his walking papers, as he knows
1 ery little about umpiring.
IT Isamvstery to most of thepeopleln the lower
part of Alleghcnv why the Climax club has not
wpn more games this season, as they plav good
ball right along and are strong in everj position.
If the matter Is looked into closely, however, it
would not teem such a mystery, for they are lack

Srr.iJ.oriELD, Aug. 'J.O. Speed was lacking
among the harness races at Hampden Park
this afternoon, as not one of tho heat run

tho 2:17 trot had to bo postponed after ono
heat.
C. J. Hamlin's triple team canght the slow
fever that affected tho other cracks, and
only made a milo in 2.-21X. Justina was
most to blame, as shomadc a couple of mis
takes after they had gone to the half in 1:10,
the last quarter was a 2:12 gait. Ploy Boy

but it was an unlucky day for him. His
mouth was tore and he would not keep
steady. In the fourth heat his troubles cul
minated in a collision with tho rail on tho
upper turn, and as .the sulky went over
Golden was hurled out, and the stallion
ran clear around to the quarter beforo ho
was stopped. Golden got cinito a shaking,
but was able and' anxious to cro on If tho
judges had been willing. As no one was to
blame but the horse, he must be distanced
despite the amonnt of money on him. Dyn

finished first in tho fifth, but had quite a

Margaret S Breaks Down in Her Race
"With Nancy Hanks at Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 20. Thero were over 6,000
disappointed spectators at Washington
Park to-day. Both the Hawthorne and Gar
field Park tracks closed down and the large
crowd went to Washington Park, expecting
to see a strand contestbetweenNancy Hanks,
2:12l-, nnd Margaret S, 2:12, for a special
purse of $2,000. After two preliminary races
had been decided the two famous trotters
were called to the post. Xnncy Hanks was
first out, and, as she cantered by tho grand
stand with Bndd Doblo behind her, a great
cheer arose. A moment later Margaret S,.
driven-by George Starr, the "Snapper" Gar
rison of tho trotting turf, mnde her appear
ance and received a wnrm welcome. After
scoring once they were sent awav on oven
terms, and traveled neck nnd neck around
the turn and into the back stretch. When
well straightened out, Xnncv Hanks began
to draw away, and, like clockwork, came
strong, w inning the heat easily by two
lengths. When the time 2:20J4 was posted
onlookers could scarcely believo their eyes,
for the track was lightning last.
Tho t-econd heat was a repetition of tho
first, only that the timo was lkf seconds
faster. At this Juncture President Mitchell
announced from tho judge's stand that Mar
garet S was wholly unfit to race and that
Mr. Starr had asked permission to witlidraw
her. The request was granted, nnd Mr.
Doble expressed his willingness to send
Nancy Hanks against time, but a heavy rain
set in and tho remainder of the day's pro
gramme was postponed until to-morrow.

Cheers II I m.
Columbus, Aug. 20. Edward Blair has
led a career of crime from early youth. He
is one of six children, whose father is a
shoemaker living at East Monroe, High
land county. In early life he organized a
gang who were the terror of the neighbor
hood. Blair escaped while a convict in
1889 for robbing a man named Johnson.
Under the alias of Joseph H. Hill he
fell in with two crooks known as Shoe
maker and Stoops. On the night of March
17, 1890. they planned to rob Arthur Henry,
station agent at Hartsburg, Putnam county.
AVhen they entered the place
Blair drew his revolver and ordered
Henry to open the safe, which contained
about" 73. This he flatly refused to do, and
the refusal cost him his life. The murderer
then escaped, and some weeks later was
captured at l'arkersburg, W. Va. He was
tiied at the November term of court, found
guilty and sentenced to hang April 29, 1891.
He was respited twice.
During the day Blair maintained a stolid
demeanor. Father Logan was with him a
short time. He spent the afternoon with
his sister Laura, who has taken a deep in
terest in securing another respite. She
parted with her brother at j r. 31. She had
to be carried to the warden's quarters.
The coffin was brought in, in which the
body of Blair will be sent to East Monroe
to-morrow for burial. To-night Blair ap
pealed to Governor Campbell for a respite,
dictnting a long letter, setting forth that
his accomplice, Shoemaker, who is to have
a hearing, may throw some light on the
crime. The Governor positively refused to
interfere.
Blair was brought to the scaffold at 12:07
this noon, accompanied by Father
Logan, his spiritual adviser, and the "War
den and deputies. The work of adjusting
the straps only occupied a minute, and
when asked "it he had anythtng to
say, replied in the negative, except that
he bade goodby to Manager Watkins,
of the Prison Board. Blair kissed the cross
before the black cap was drawn over his
face. He wore a conscious smile from the
time he came on the scaffold till the trap
fell. The body writhed forseveraUminutes;
and the opinion was expressed that the neck
was not broken, but that he died from
strangulation. Death came in 12 minutes
and 20 seconds.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Millionaire Woodman, of the Linseed
Oil Trnst, tho Victim.
SOME INDICATIONS OP SUICIDE.
Discovered bj a Girl First in a Deep Sleep,
Afterward Lifeless.
A LETTER MAY SOLVE TILE 1UYSTERY
Chicago, Aug. 20. The dead body of
Clark Woodman, one of the wealthiest citi
zens of Omaha, and a director in the Lin
seed Oil Trust, was found this afternoon in
his room at the Grand Pacific Hotel. The
general supposition is that the death was a
suicide. The cause for such an act is still a
mystery, and all the circumstances do not
by any means confirm the theory of suicide,
which is, however, strengthened by a few
strange and unexplnined facts.
Mr. Woodman arrived at the Grand
Pacific late Monday night. No one in the
office remembers seeing him after he retired
to his room at that time. On Wednesday
evening a chambermaid entered the room
and found him lying across the bed fully
dressed, with the exception of his coat.
Hearing the sound of his breathingshe sup
posed that he was merely sleeping.
THE DEAD BODY TOUND.
She did not re-enter the room until this
afternoon. She found the body still in the
rame position, but the face was horribly
discolored anil the odor of the room indi
cated death. Dr. E. W. Steger was at once
summoned and found that such was the
case. The condition of the body made it
plain that he was breathing his last when
seen by the chambermaid Wednesday night.
On the table were two bottles, one con
taining ammonia and the other spirits of
camphor. The bottles stood on a piece of
letter paper, on which was written, "3 oz.
chloroform, -1 oz. ammonia." Something
else had been started below this on the
paper, but it was not completed. Astampcd
and scaled envelope addressed to H. C.
Clark, Omaha, was also on the table. Tho
handwriting on the envelope and on the bit
of paper did not correspond.
ALLEGED TO HAVE LOST ON GRArN.
Mr. Woodman was a member of the grain
commission firm of Woodman & Harris,
with offices at 917 ltookery building. The
current rumor this afternoon was that Mr.
Woodman, whose estimated wealth is in the
neighborhood of 1,000,000, had lostalarge
part of his fortune during the recent rise in
the prices of grain on the Board of Trade.
No one could be found to confirm this
minor. The junior member of the firm, J.
V. Harris, claimed that except in company
with himself his partner never visited the
Board of Trade, and that even then lie did
not go outside the regular work of the firm.
Strangely enough, however, Mr. Harris did
not know that Mr. Woodman was in the
citv until he learned of his death. He had
not seen him for a week, and presumed that
he was in New York.
"I can imagine no conceivable reason for
suicide," said Mr. Harris, who was evident
ly greatly shocked at the event. Mr.
AVoodman has been my partner since 1888,
and before that time 1 lived at his house in
Omaha. In all that time I have learned to
know and like him thoroughly.
NO DOMESTIC TP.OUBLE.
"If you were to ask any one in Omaha
for the happiest family iri the city, I think
the first names to be mentioned would be
Mr. and Mrs. Clark Woodman. If death
came at his own hands it would appear im
possible that family troubles could have
caused it, and, personally, I know of noth
ing in a business way "which could have
done so.
Mr. Harris' statement was confirmed by
his'brothcr, George B. Harris, Vice Presi
dent of the Burlington Kailroad, who had
known the dead man intimately, although
they hadn't met for some months. Mr.
Wooebnan was a tall, handsome man of
about 5o; with snow white hair and mus
tache. He was not a drinking man nor had
he any known dissipation. His friends
hope, despite the circumstances, that death
resulted from heart disease. If it was that
of a suicide the letter which he left ad
dressed to H. G. Clark at Omaha may ex
plain the mystery. Mr. Clark is one of his
oldest friends, a wealthy citizen of Omaha,
and at one time was in that city interested
with Mr. "Woodman in a linseed oil mill.
Other facts may, however, be developed
at the inquest, which w ill be held to-morrow
morning at Klaner's undertaking estab
lishment, where the body was taken to
night. For the present Dr. Steger, who was
the nhysician summoned, refuses to give
any information based on the condition in
which he fouud the bodv.
THE COSMOPOLITAN EELIGI0N.
Cardinal Gibbons Eulogizes the Catholic
Churcii at the Milwaukee Festivities.
Milwaukee, Aug. 20. The festivities
connected with the conferring of the pallium
upon Archbishop Katzcr were concluded by
a banquet this afternoon at St. Francis Col
lege. An address was presented to the
Archbishop by Father Etschmann, the
senior priest, on behalf of the clergy, and
many toasts were drunk.
Cardinal Gibbons spoke of the cosmopoli
tan character of the Catholic Church. A
family derived from many nations, differ
ing in language, habit and tastes, they were
all united in the bonds of a common relig
ion. In no country in Christendom were
the members of the heirarchy more united
and more compact, and this fraternal feel
ing was all the more to be admired as a
large proportion of the Bishops of the coun
try are descended from different nations of
Europe. If was well shown, he said, to-day
in the gathering of so many bishops and
priests coming from different and remote
Jiartsofthe country and uniting to pay
lonorto the distinguished prelate whom the
Sovereign Pontiff has placed over this arch
diocese of Milwaukee.

The Negro Intimates That Chalkley Lcco
ney Killed His Nltce.
Camden, N. J., Aug. 20-For the first
time since the jury found him guilty
of the murder of Mrs. Annie
Miller Francis Lingo talked of
the crime to-day. Under Sheriff Porter
was passing his cell and was surprised when
the negro jumped to his feet and said ex
citedlv and with great emphasis:
"If "some one had been convicted of tho
murder of Annie Leconey, I tell you that
Mrs. Miller would be alive to-day. I wish
to add that if I had run away, as Murray
did, I wonld never have been tried for mur
der, but some other negro would have been
arrested and tried."
This was all Lingo would say, though
Under Sheriff Porter tried to get him to
talk more. As the "some one" mentioned
by Lingo was Chalkley Leconey,,who was
acquitted of his niece's murder a year ago,
Lingo's hint has created a sensation about
the Court House and jail.
SON RUSSELL'S PAPER
MAKES SOME INSINUATIONS AGAINST
JAMES G. BLAINE.
An Editorial Inquiring Why, Ir nis Health
Is Gooel, He Does Not Take Part in tho
Ohio Campaign An Utterance From
Young Harrison.
Helena, Mont., Journal. 1
It does not seem to have oczurred to the
well-meaning but injudicious Blaine organs
of Montana that they are inflicting upon
their chief an obvious injustice in trying to
create a JPresidental boom for that gentle
man at this time. Ah attempt has been
made to educate the people to the belief that
Blaine's reputed illness is a figment of the
imagination, born of a malicious desire to
thwart the purpose of those who are anxious
to effect his nomination for the Presidency.
There is of course nothing in the allegations
of this character. We know of no disposi
tion to deal other than fairly with the inter
ests of the Maine man and his friends. But
Blaine has ample reason to demand deliver
ance from his friends at a time when they
are so industriously seeking to compromise
his political honor.
Blaine is either a sick man, breaking
down from a complication of disorders from
which he has long suffered, or he is not a
sick man. If his vital powers are not equal
to the hopes and ambitions of his friends
and to the tremendous responsibilities of
an active campaign and a successful admin
istration, his availability is not a
debatable proposition. Like Tilden in
1880, he cannot afford to wager his
vitality against the drafts upon his
strength drawn by his party and his coun
try. If, on the contrary, he is, as pictured
by his Montana advocates, basking in the
sunshine of perfect health, friends of pro
tection, who recognize in that question the
chief issue of the next canipaign, have a
right to inquire why the powerful influence
of the Maine statesman is not on duty as a
factor in the great struggle for supremacy
in Ohio.
If Blaine is a well man his duty is plain,
and insisting upon accrediting him with
lion-like vigor his newspaper friends are
placing him in a compromising position
relative to a question that Itepub
licans interested in party success
cannot afford to ignore, when placed
upon its preliminary hearing before the
voters of MclCinley's State. In the event
of Democratic success in Ohio; and the sub
sequent nomination of Blaine, it is easy to
foresee that the Democratic press would
place the Republican standard bearer in a
negative attitude toward the issue in chief j
in the national contest for supremacy.
The Journal believes that Blaine should be
fairlv treated, and that his political honor
and Iiis fidelity to the great principles of
the Republican party should not lor one
moment be questioned. It believes that his
lack of interest in the Ohio campaign is due
alone to his delicate health, and we
indulge the hope that Providence
will deal kindly with the brilliant
New Englander and revive the 'energies
that have so long been dedicated to the ad
vancement of the party to which he be
longs and which have popularized his name
within its ranks. It is unjust to inflict
upon his reputation the thought that he
is sulking in his tent in the pride
of his manhood, when the skirmish
lines of a mighty battle are being formed.
Blaine is a sick man. When he recovers
his health and strength, and gives public
evidence of his physical ability to shoulder
the burden of a great campaign, it will be
time for his admirers to advocate his claims.
In no other way can he be protected from
the unjust imputations of the Democratic
press and retain the political prestige to
which his honorable career entitles him.
STRUCK SOWN IS THE PAEK.
A Milwaukee Business Man Dying From a
Mysterious Assault.
Milwaukee, Aug. 20. William Had
ley, a wealthy business mon, partner in the
latefirm of Bosworth& Sons, wholesale drug
gists, is dying from wounds inflicted upon him
Inst midnight in the open park directly iu
front of the Union depot. Passersby found
him lying in a pool of blood where the as
sailants had left him for dead. During a Incid
spell he tried to name his assailants, whom he
evidently knew, but his tongue had been
nearly torn from his mouth. He is now un
conscious, and, the doctors have given up
hope.
The clew on which the detectives are work
ing points to two or more prominent busi
ness men. Hadlev has n nephew, J. P. Hop
kins, who secured a partnership in the old
and wealth)' house of Bosworth & Sons, onlv.
as alleged, to wreck it. At any rate the
elder Bosworth has since died a pauper and
his only surviving son is suing to recover
S1,")0,000, which he alleges Hopkins and
Hadlcy appropriated out of the firm's fund
to their own use. Hadlev has since bought
a partnership interest, while Hopkins has
invested in real estate, which has since
enormously risen in value.
Detectives are working on the theory
that Hopkins believed Hadlcy knew too
much for his (Hopkins') safety or that
Bosworth undertook summary revenge on
one of the men who had got his money.
There is another theory that there is a
woman in the case and that the assailants
mistook Hadley for someone else.
DB0WHED WHILE BATHIHO.
A Prominent Member of Dr. Talmage's
Church Selzeel With Cramps.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, Aug. 20. Claudius Fran
cisco Valdes, proprietor of a cigar store in
Brooklyn, was drowned while bathing at
Far Rockawny this afternoon. It is
supposed that he was seized with
cramps. His body was found floating
face up, with the arms folded
lacross the breast. Mr. Valdes had a chec k-
ered matrimonial career. He was a slight,
but handsome man, about 50 years old. He
was an active member of Dr. Talmage's
church. His wife, too, was popular with
the congregation, She had numerous ad
mirers, among whom was Herman F.
Boehne, the proprietor of a tailor shop. Al
though he had a wife and two children he
became infatuated with Mrs. Valdes.
In the summer of 1884 the pair eloped. A
year after her husband's elopement Mrs.
Boehne obtained a divorce and married the
foreman of her husband's shop. Valdes
also obtained a divorce from Mrs. Valdes.

HIS JOTJBXEY FROM BEMttfiGlW.
Ex-Senator Arkell Surprises Harrison With
a Quaker Meeting'.
MANY COMING PLEASURES IN STORE
Mt. McGeecok, N. Y., Aug. 20. There
was quite a gathering at Bennington station
nt 9 o'clock this morning to see the Presi
dcntal party off.
The train arrived at Mt. McGregor at
10:30 a. m. The President looked much
refreshed after the fatiguing exercises of
yesterday. The train made a short stop at
Johnsonville, where the President stood on
the rear platform of the car and shook hands
with men, women and children who had
gathered. This is the President's 58th
birthday.
It was intended that the passage of the
President through Saratoga, north of Mt.
McGregor station, should be private, but a
large crowd had already gathered at the
station of the Fitchburg Railroad to welcome
him.
at general grant's cottage.
The run to Mt. McGregor was made
much more quickly than usual. Reaching
there the President was met by "W. S. Ar
kell, to whom he offered his arm, and the
two advanced to the piazza and up the steps
of the Grant cottage. There were calls for
a speech, but without responding he pro
ceeded to the cottage of W. J. Arkell.
In honor of the President's arrival, Mr.
Arkell had arranged for a pleasant birthday
dinner at the Balmoral Hotel. It was
served at 2:30, and about 120.guests partici
pated. There were two long tables and a
cross table at one end set in the large dining
room. Ex-Senator J. Arkell presided. On
his right were President Harrison, B. Gil
lam and General John Palmer, Commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic. At the
other tables were Russell Harrison and the
members of the President's party; William
Barnes, Jr., Spencer Trask, John A.
Sleicher, H. B. Hanson and J. G. B. Wool
worth, of Saratoga. The banquet room was
handsomely decorated with flowers and
green shrubbery and flags. Shortly before
5 o'clock Senator Arkell rose and said:
AGREED TO A QUAKER MEETING.
Tho President of tho United States, who Is
"our guest to-day, on acconnt of his worn
lungs and throat, is solicitous that this bo a
Quaker meeting, one of unspoken eloquence.
Lot me sav, however, that this being tho
5Sth birthday of tho President, wo can pro

and most sincere wishes on the commemora
tion of the anniversary. Applnuse. We ex
tend to him the best well-wishes and birth
day greetine. His administration will be
knon n hereafter, not so much perhaps as a
Republican administration, as an American
administration. Cheers.
President Harrison arose, and amid great
cheering began:
Mr. Arkell and Friends:
It was a part of the covenant of this feast
that it should be a silent one npt exactly as
a Quaker meeting. Us Mr. Arkell has said,
because silence is apt tobebrokenbya mov
ing of tho spirit. Tnat is not a safe rule for
a banquet. Laughter. I rise only to thank

A TRIBUTE TO GRANT.
Wearogatheredherein a spot which is
historic. This mountain has been fixed in
the affectionate and reverent memory of all
our people, and has been glorified by the
death on its summit of General Ulysses S.
Grant. Applause It is fit that that great
spirit, that had already lifted its famo to a
height unknown in American history.should
take its flight from this mountain top. It
has been said that a great life went out here,
but great lives, like that of General Grant.

A FIEBCE BATTLE EXPECTED.
The Chilean Insurgents' War Vessels SaU
Away With 10,000 Men.
Lima, Peru, Aug. 20. Advices received
from Chile, under date of August 11, are to
the effect that the Junta's transports and
warships, including the Huascar, Abtao,
Esmeralda, Amazones, Biobio, Almarante,
Cochrane and Magallencs, were to have left
Caldera on or about August 15, with 10,000
well armed men.
Their object is either to effect a landing
in San Antonio Bay and march by land
upon the southern stronghold of Balmaccda,
or else attempt to engage the forts of Val
paraiso. Whatever course is taken by the
Junta's fleet a fierce fight is expected within
a few days.
The feeling of the insurgents against the
United States, on. account of theltata affair,
continues to grow in bitterness. It is be
yond their understanding why the vessel
should be detained so long in California.
The Government forces in and around
Santiago number 12,000.
Great interest is naturally manifested in
the movements of Balmnceda's new war
ships, the Pinto and Errazuriz. It is
rumored that- attempts will be made to pre
vent their reaching Chilean waters. Dan
ger may lurk for them in the islands of
the Straits of Magellan.
LABOE'S SABXEST PLACES.
A Frightful State of Affairs Revealed
in
Chicago Sweater Shops.
CniCAGO, Aug. 20. A committee of the
Trades and Labor Assembly to-day visited
the "sweatees" shops in this city in which
ready-made clothing is made. They found
a dreadful condition of affairs in many
places.
In dirt-begrimed cellars, attics and inte
rior rooms, ill-smelling, ill-ventilated and
ill-lighted, miserable beings were huddled
together so close as to touch elbows. Some
of them were children, girls of 11 years and
upward. They were worked from 14 to 18
hours a day, including Sundays, for wages
ranging from 1 to (" per week.
Delusions of the Hop Crop.
New York Telegram.!
"I have heard a great deal nbout the prof
its to be made in hop growing," said Cap
tain W. C. Stericker, of Seattle, Wash.,
"but I have never seen them. On the con
trary, I know by actual experiment that
you can drop money faster in hop farming
than you con coin it. I lost $15,000 last
year in hops because the lice got in them,
and that cured me of an'y desire to be a
millionaire by raising hops."

SHE WAS TALKED TO DEATH.
Inscription an Illinois Widower Had Placed
on nis Wife's Tombstone.
A curious tombstone stands in a cemetery
near Boulder, Clinton county, 111., and this
is its story: Thomas Phillips, having buried
his wife, went to the marble yard of Frazier
& Leffel, in Centralia, II!., to get a tomb
stone. A suitable stone was soon found and
here the work began. The inscription must
be just so. He must have cut on it just
what he wanted and just as he wanted it.
He was willing to pay his money for what
he wanted, but didn't want any assistance to
say what that was. The undertaker tried in
vain to suit him, but to no avail. He
couldn't catch the spirit of his dream.
There was something in thi3 case that out
reached the rigid experience of many years.
Finally the patron said: "Get me yourpen
cil and I'll tell you what I want."
And here is what he wrote: "Kiss me,
and I will go to sleep. Alice, first and last
wife of Thomas Phillips. Talked to death
by Friends."
No date of birth, no date of death is given.
The age is omitted., Thomas had but two
purposes in his mind one was to let tho
world knoiy that he would never marry
again and the other was, to let it know that
his wife had been talked to death by the
neighbors.
"There, now, I want it jnst as I write it;
nothing more and nothing less. I propose
to pay for just what I want." Being assured
that his wants would be strictly complied
with, he paid for the monument, and, giving
directions where to place it, departed with,
the satisfied air of a man who felt that hs
had gotten even with somebody.
THE SAFETY FUSES.
Mission of tho Soft Wires in Houses Lighted
by Electricity.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.I
The insurance companies insist on tha
placing of "safety fuses" wherever there is
an incandescent lamp connection. Thesa
fuses are called by the linemen "bugs."
They consist of little oblong wooden blocks,
carrying, by means of two brass screws, a
bit of very soft wire. The current to each
lamp goes throngh this bug instead of pass
ing oTer a continuous wire. Thea if there's
trouble anywhere on the line, such as wires
crossing, a short circuit or a "ground," tha
current, which is trebled at least, fuses tha
soft wire and the circuit is broken, the lamp
goes out, and there is little danger of fire or
personal injury.
The extra enrrent would otherwise break
out through the weakest point, and might
fuse the socket of the lamp and blow it all
to pieces, or escape through a bad connec
tion and start a fire.
"MUSIC AS A MEDICINE.
The Violin May Some Day Become the Rival
of the Drugstore.
Canon Harford has just coutributcd an
article to the Lancet, the great English med
ical journal, in which he says that musics
may prove some day a great curative agent.
The worthy minister is confident of the power
of sound. According to his own account,
he succeeded in curing a friend of his, tha
Vicountess Combermere. bv plaving the
violin in her presence. Canon Harford de
velops his theory and gives several musical
prescriptions.
'To cure insomnia," he says, "all that is
necessary is for a contralto and a soprano to
sing together, accompanied on a violin."
