THE PLEASURE SPOILED BY RAIN And the rretty Costumes Are Bedraggled - and Pestioved. MATOK GOUELEY TICKLES THE CROWD. Upward of 18,000 people, tlie bulk of whom were dressed id white, attended the Lutheran picnic at Idlewild Park yester day. The jrreat crowd went from Pittsburg, Altoona, Johnstown, Indiana, Uniontown, Connellsville, Scottdale, Greensburg and other points in "Western Pennsylvania. The Catherine was cosmopolitan. The banker, with his wile and daughter and his domes tic and her beau, were there in great num bers, and all mingled together in an almost fruitless eflort to eet come little enjoyment out of a decidedly disagreeable day. Enough rain (ell in Idlewild Park yesterday almost to float the Little Bill across the continent, and each drop as it tell brought distress and discomfort to every soul in that immediate neighborhood. The clear skies of the bright morn'ng taxed the Pennsylvania Kail road in carry ing the picnickers to the park, but the ad vance guard ot the great outpouring had just arrived at the dclightfui resort when a furious rainstorm dampened their ardor. bedraggled their airy costumes and made them weary of the world in general. Crowded the Accommodation. There is an abundance of shelter in the magnificent gro e, but as one special train followed another and dumped their bur dens into the park, the sheltering places became crowded, and those who came late were forced under the trees for protection, which was little, if any, advantage over positive exposure. It was dinner time when all the special trains had arrived, and the lunch baskets were opened up to dull and uninteresting appetites Instead of all gathering about a regal feast supplied by dainties from every Lutheran household in this end of the State, each family took their own contribution to the best shelter obtainable and ate and dodged the rain and thought unpleasanfcand uncomplimentarv thoughts of the kind of weather supplied them. Not a few of them abandoned their lunch baskets altogether and went to the Ligonier hotels for their dinners. JIayor Gourley, who was the principal speaker of the occasion, arrived at the park just before noon. He did not abandon his tr.un, however, until he reached Ligonier. He dined with friends at Frank's Hotel and was about to derlare his engagement for the da oQ when the clouds broke away and a bright sun burned out like a mother's smile. The major hurried off to the park where a committee of ministers and the Greensburg band awaited his coming. Mkj-or Gourlej'a Warm Reception. "While the reverend gentlemen greeted His Honor the band played an old Italian nielodvand the woodlana rang out ajovous welcome. The Greensburg band is admit tedly one of the best musical organizations in the State and their concerts during the afternoon went for toward making the day bearable. The reception to Mayor Gourley at tracted and centralized the great crowd about the dancing pavilion and the exer cises of the day were opened by the gather ing uniting in siuging a hymn. The band ot 20 pieces led the singing. Rev. Alex ander McLaughlin, who was introduced as an Irish Lutheran, announced the hrmn. Kev. M. L. Cutler, of Apollo, offered prayer. Kev. A, L. Tont, of Greensburg, made the first speech, llev. J. "W. Miller, of Leechburg, announced the second hymn, and Jtev. J. K. Melborc, of Frecport; de livered the second address. Kev. G. W. Crist, of Jennertown, announced the third hymn and Kev. J. H. Muellor, a Kussian, of Altoona, delivered a short address in German. Then Mayor , Gourley was in troduced. There was a shuffling about in the vast audience when the Mayor's name was mentioned. He was introduced as "the Governor of the Smoky City," and a liberal round of applause was accorded him as he bowed with the air of a Chesterfield to the sea of anxious faces that were turned to him. Br mid to Hare a Speech. The Mayor said he bad prepared a speech for the occasion. He had hoped to be the first speaker, but as he had been put off to the last he would reserve his little talk for some other occasion. "Go on: go on," some one in the audience shouted. "So, I will be merciful, " the Mayor replied. "You have been punished enough already," he con cluded, while the expansive pavilion fairly shook with applause.' He did go on, how eer, and tor fully 30 minutes he held the largest audience ever seen in "Westmoreland county in deep concern for his every word. He was frequently interrupted by applause, and the audience seemed to inspire him to eloquence. He told of the great occasions and the great men in the world's"history, and he concluded by an interesting review of the life and work's of Martin Luther. He said Lutber, like all the great men of his tory, was a child ot poverty, and he asserted that the works of the great religious re former were the noblest of his race. " The Mayor had scarcely concluded his talk when the sun sank back behind a cloud and a lively rain storm followed. The erowd was stampeded by the elements and all the people scattered about for pro tection. It was well into the evening when the last train left the park, and most of the people had been fairly drenched be fore they got away. Had to Klde on the Knclne. "When Mayor Gouriey arrived in Pittsburg shortly after 8 o'clock last night, he was completely worn out. The crowd was too much for him. In leaving the park he was uuauie 10 ooara me train on account ot the crowd. He was finally given a seat in the engine until he arrived at Latrobe. "I am a very tired man," the Mayor said last night at his home. "After I made my speech during the afternoom I spent three hours waudenng about that great park in Eearch of a seat but I was unable to find one. "With their shelter and protection covering acres of the grove I could not find room enough for a seat for myself and I could get consolation only in seeing thou sands ot other people in the same predica ment. I have not been at a picnic tor five years until to-day and I can now say with some authority that 1 am not likely to go to another for five years to come. The oc casion would have been a grand one had they been blessed with favorable weather." SHE SHOOTS HEE BETEAYEE, And Then Off. ra Him the .Smoking ristol to ltetnrn the Shot. Paterson, X. J., Aug. 1L Patrick Quinn, the Western Union operator at Delaware station, who was shot by Miss llattie Acres in the telegraph office there Tuesday night, lies in the hospital in this city in a critical condition. He has refused to make any statement except to say that he will not prosecute Miss Acres, as she had cause to shoot him. He admits that he promised to marry her and then wronged her. Miss Acres is held in custody in Warren county, pending the result ot Quinn's in juries. It was reported that she attempted to commit suicide by taking poison, but she denies this. After she had fired two shots at Quinn while he was alone in the tele graph office, she offered the smoking pistol as he fell to the floor and told him to shoot her, as she did not want to live. Miss Acres is an attractive young woman, 22 3 ears of ace, and belongs to a respectable family at Cresco, Pa. BOSTON PEOPLE EXCITED Over ths Binder Mystery at Fall River Ko Apparent Blotlv to X.aad Liiale Borden to Commit the Deed Massa chusetts frond ot Her Judiciary. W. J. Lempill, of Boston, was at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday, and dis cussed the Borden mystery at Fall Hirer, Mass. He said the people of Boston were much exercised over the crime, as Mr. Borden was well known in the city in manufacturing and financial circles. "The general belief there," he went on, "is that Lizzie Borden is guilt less of the crime, or that it she knew, any thing of it she acted upon an insane im pure. She is a jfirl under"20 years, and it is difficult to imagine any motive that would impel her Jo commit such a crime. The girl had everything she wished. She is the youngest ot two children, there being an efder married sister. The parents were aged and had considerable money, all of which would be inherited by the two chil dren. "That much of interest may be brought out at the inquest there can be no doubt It is a wise law that gives a coroner the privilege to withhold information, when publicity mav lead toTailures to clear up a mvstery. This is well illustrated by the the success of Massachusetts in putting down crime. Massachusetts ranks sixth in population and is eighteenth in the crimi nal calendar. "We, who hail from that State attribute this to the divorcing of politics aud the bench. Onr judges are chosen by the Governor with the concurrence of his eight executive counselors, and serve until 70 years pf age, when they are permitted to retire on half pav. Even the municipal judges are so appointed. The History oi tne state is compara tively free from mysteries of a criminal na ture and the action ot tne authorities in withholding important information is large ly due to this. The police are discreet and seldom say anything that will interfere with the performance of their duty and as a consequence the escape of a murderer is a rare exception. This, of course, meets with the hearty approval of the public although they are fully as curious as people in other States. "The Borden case is certainly most mys terious. The brutality of the person who committed the murder seems to be so un usual thatkit is difficult to think a' young woman, and particularly a daughter, could conceive such an act" FOUB TOUGH SHINEES Go Into the Blot Business and Are Sum marily Suppressed. Four tough bootblacks caused a sensation down on Diamond square yesterday after noon. The boys each aged 18 or 19 years, were drunk and in a mischievous mood appropriated a farmer's horse and wagon standing at the curb. As they drove along the Etreet yelling and swearing Officer O'Hara went to arrest them. He stopped the horse, but was lashed across the face with a whip in the hands of one of the boys. O'Hara jumped into the wagon, seized the lines and was about to drive the party to Central station, Officer Crossan having come to his assistance, when one of the young desperadoes dealt Crossan a blow with a club, knocking him down. Before Crossan regained his feet two ot the boys had iumped on O'Hara, and one had drawn a revolver, which he was just pointing at O'Hara's back when Crossan knocked it from his hand. A number of citizens finally came to the rescue and the boys, still fighting and kicking like fiends were taken to the Central in the patrol wagon. There three of them give their names as Joseph Kuff, Frank Mullen and Geo. Smith. The fourth one would give no name. Huff and Mnllen were recently paroled from Morganza. THE FATE OF "UNBELIEVERS Discussed by the Biennial Evangelical Lutheran Conference. New York, Aug. 11. The biennial Ger man Evangelical Lutheran Conference of the United States is in session here. This is the second day of the conference. Twenty-three States are represented. Key. Dr. Hading, of Milwaukee, was re-elected President and conducted the session. The meeting will be continued through Tuesday next. The proposition of debate this morning was if the unbelievers are lost eternally it is their own fault This afternoon a long re port on negro missions was read. It stated that six missions had been established in New Orleans and one each in Little Rock, Concord, N". CL, Meliessin, Va., and Spring field, 111., upon which during the past two years 52.500 has been expended. An appro priation of $3,000 was made by the Confer ence for continuing the work. TEEEIBLE KEVENGE ATTEMPTED. Men Try to Wreck a Fast Train Because It Wouldn't Stop at a Station. Cincinnati, Aug. 1L Two men living in Campbell county, Ky., whose names are known Dut suppressed, boarded the cannon ball train on the Kentucky Central Bail road at Falmouth last night and asked to be let off" at Yisalia, a station at which the train does not stop. Upon being refused they got off at Butter. They were seen to place rails on the track some distance from the station. A man who had seen them hurried down and re moved the obstructions just in time to save the Falmouth accommodation from a wreck. Officers and citizens are searching for the miscreants. HAY HEVEB SPEAK AGAIN. Henry Hart, Whoso" Tongno Wag Niarly Bitten Off, Llkrlv to Be Dnmb. Henry Hart.the Southside puddler whose tongue was bitten off during a quarrel with his mother-in-law, is still at the Southside Hospital. The physicians are afraid that he will never fully recover the power of speech and say that the , chances are that even when the wound is entirely healed he will not be able to speak so that he will be understood except with difficulty. Hart insists upon his original statement that his tongue was bitten o2 by his mother-in-law, although it is hard to imagine how the wound could be inflicted in that way. No Revolutionist to Be Fonnd.
