SPECIAL TELEC.ItAM TO THE DISPATCH
New Yobs, Oct. 12. When the 3:30
o'clock Boston express rolled into the
Grand Central station this afternoon it bore
among its passengers a tall, erect, dis
tinguished looking man. This man had
close-cropped white whiskers which made
his rather pale lace seem even paler. His
nose was a strong feature, and his counte
noccc was suggestive to all who noticed
hia of that of some person of public note.
The white-whiskered gentleman, with a
sprightliness which seemed to belie his ap
parent years, alighted from the train and
walked down the platform, where he was
greeted cordially by a tall and rather
spare man, whose pleasant face was set
oil with a somewhat scrubby iron
gray moustache and a small goatee.
The second gentleman bad been waiting in
the crowd, but few had recognized in him
the original of the many portraits which
adorn Republican campaign banners just
now. It is not to be wondered at, perhaps,
as few of the portraits resemble Hon.
Whitelaw Reid, Vice Presidental candidate
of the G. O. P.
Blaine's Meeting With Keid.
Fewer still recognized in the traveler on
the Boston express the man whose portrait
might have been exhibited on campaign
banners in the place now reserved for that
of Benjamin Harrison had the minority of
the Minneapolis Convention prevailed.
The traveler was the Hon. James G.Blaine,
of Maine, ex-Secretary of State, father of
reciprocity, and the beloved leader of a
creat section of the Republican party.
Mr. Reid, after the exchange of greetings,
conducted his distinguished guest to the
Harlem Railroad station, where they
bearded the 4:15 o'clock express for White
Plains. Mr. Blaine was not recognized
when he reached the little Westchester
village. The loungers at the station knew
that Mr. Reid had arrived on the train.
Mr. Reid is the great man of the place, and
his comings and goings arc always noted.
Tlie Arrival at Mr. Kcid' Farm.
Mr. Reid's carriage was waiting his ar
rival, and he and Mr. Blaine were soon
whirling through the village and along the
two miles of beautiful w ooded drive which
leads to the candidate's residence, Ophir
Farm. Mr. Blaiue said of the drive that it
was delightfully reminiscent to him of
Fome of the forest roads in AVestern Penn
sylvania and Kentucky because of the char
acter of the trees which lined the road.
Within an hour of Mr. Blaine's arrival at
Ophir Farm he was visited by a reporter of
The Dispatch, who found Mr. Reid and
his guest cosily seated in big easy chairs
drawn np before the cheerful blaze of a
mammoth fireplace in the great hall. A
small table n car them bore the remnants of
a luncbeon.
Mr. Reid was surprised to find that the
visit of Mr. Blaine had became a matter of
public news so soon. He said that Mr.
Blaine had taken advantage of an invita
tion of long standing to pay bis first visit to
Ophir Fa.m on the occasion of his leaving
liar Harbor.
Mr. Blaina Looking Very Well.
The ex-Secretary of State was looking re
markably well, though it was evident that
he had been considerablv tired by his jour
ney from Bar Harbor, which he lett at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. His figure
was erect, his eyes bright, and the pallor of
bis face not so marked as on the occasion of
his last visit to New York. The puffiness
under his eyes which had been remarked
heretofore has entirely disappeared. His
foice was strong, and his handshake firm,
nuscular and vigorous.
Mr. Blaine expressed a disinclination to
jeing interviewed, saying, with a pleasant
mile: "I'm not worth being interviewed.
. have been ill all summer, and am hardly
n a position to know anything of interest
n the situation, much less to talk about it"
While he was talking, Mr. Blaine, who
lad risen from the enveloping upholstery
if the easy chair, stood belore the fireplace
rith his hands behind his back, twiddling
lis thumbs in the lieht of the genial blaze.
Too 111 to Make Many Speeches.
It was suggested to Mr. Blaine that the
act that he had been ill did not detract
rom the public's interest in him and his
ttitude in the present canvass, and that
is presence as a guest of the party's can
idate for Vice President in a place so ac
essible to the managers of the Republican
arapaiga makes it likely that he will be
raited on by Chairman 'Carter and his
ellows in the management of the canvass,
nd requested to make one or more speeches
n the issues and on behalf of the candi
ates. "I have reallr been too ill to make a
peech or take an active part in the can
ass." he said. "My health has improved
jmewhat, but as to my being asked by the
rational Committee to speak,- that is a mat
:r which I have not considered."
Mr. Blaine turned the subject from politics
j his trip from Bar Harbor and personal
sminiscences. "I have been whisked over
22 miles of railroad in 20 hours," said he,
and feel rather shaken up."
' Ills, Family to Join Win Soon.
When Mr. Blaine started for New York
om Bar Harbor, yesterday. Mrs. Blaine
a'dthe rest of his family went to Augusta. I
They are expected to join him as guests, of
Mr. Reid, at Ophir farm, in a few days, and
will gp from White Plains to Washington,
where the family expects to spend the
winter. Their stay at Ophir farm ii
indefinite. ..
Although Mrjiiiaine seemed disinclined
to discuss the'political situation this even
ing, he told Mr. .Reid that he could express
his views as strongly as possible regarding
the duty of Republicans in the present con
test, views which he had made publlo in bis
letter to Joseph H. Manley, of the National
Committee.
While it is well known that Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Reid are w.rm personal friends,
and that their mutual regard has been of
long standing, the politicians will, natural
ly, not accept this as the only reason for the
visit of the Maine statesman to Ophir Farm
at this time.
Expected to Make One Speech.
It has been broadly hinted recently that
Mr. Blaine will ret ont and sneak for the
ticket, and it is believed that he will do it
at a monster meeting to be held in this
city. What lends color to this belief is
that
son
the
and
Chairman Carter, General Clark
and Joseph H. Manley, - of
Republican National Committee,
possibly other prominent men
in the party will sit down with Mr. Blaine
around Mr. Reid's hospitable board' at
Ophir Farm lo-raorrow night On this oc
casion there will probably De a great deal
of politics discussed, and narticularlr the
effect which a speech by Mr. Blaine would
havein arousing enthusiasm in the party.
It is the belief of the Republican mana
cers that one good, ringing speech from
Mr. Blaine for the party issues and candi
dates would do very much to change the
character of the campaign from one of in
difference to one of enthusiasm and
old-fashioned hurrah. That they will
be successful in getting many
speeches from Mr. Blaine is doubtful, for it
is evident that he is not capable of endur
ing the strain of an active and continuous
campaign. While not one whit less strong
in intellect than he ever was, he is still too
weak physically, after his illness of last
summer, to undergo the rigors Of a stump
ing campaign.
Hill's Example Must Be Counteracted.
The particular idea which Chairman Car
ter has in getting Mr. Blaine to come out
in a speech lor the ticket is to offset the
effect which Senator Hill's action in going
on the stump and warmly advocating
the election of Cleveland and Stevenson
has had on many Democrats uho were
inclined to indifference. As the delegates
from this State went to the Democratic
National Contention in Chicago bitterly
opposed to the nomination of Mr. Cleve
land, and warmly espousing that of Sen
ator Hill, so the big majority of
the delegation to the Republican
convention in Minneapolis, under the
leadership ot Thomas a Piatt and Warner
Miller, shouted themselves hoarse for
James G. Blaine, and did their level best
to present President Harrison's renomi
nation. The efforts of tbe New York dele
gates in both conventions were unsuccess
ful, and the defeated ones Republicans
and Democrats took their discomfiture
sorely.
Senator Hill's action has done much to
restore a better feeling among the dis
gruntled Democrats, but Chairman Carter
feels that the cflorts of Piatt and Miller, by
their speeches at Cooper Union, to bring
the Republicans together, ought to be sup
plemented by a speech from Mr. Blaine.
After that he believes all sores will be
healed and the full-vote of the party will be
polled.
Mr. Carter is conGdent. it is said, that
n ith the assistance of Mr. Manley, Mr.
Blaine Mill be persuaded to make at least
one speech, which will be a companion
piece to hits letter, and will be sent through
out the land a" a campaign document

QUAY ABOUT CURED
And Ho Says That He Did It
All Himself by Dismiss
ing His Doctors.
HE'S GOING TO NEW ,Y0BK
To Have a Good Talk With the Boys
Gathered at Headquarters,
WHEN HE WILL BE BETTEE POSTED
As to What Is Going- on in the Bnsj World
of Politicians.
THE CAMPAIGN IS TOO APATHETIC
Senator M. S. Quay was a passenger on
the Chicago limited express last night
homeward bound. When seen by a Dis
patch reporter he was cheerlessly contem
plating a midnight ride overland from
Rochester, where he must leave the com
fort of his Pullman car, to Beaver.
"I would't make that trip for a good bit,"
he remarked, as he cast a furtive glance out
of the window for a moon that never came,
"but I'm going borne, you know, and when
a sick man gets this near home he feels
like making tbe most of his opportuni
ties." "So von consider yourself a sick man?"
"Well, I do and I don't. I have been in
a bad way, but now I feel that my health,
strength and spirits are returning. A week
ago I was pallid; now, yon notice, the color
has returned to my face. A week ago I
could not rest at night; now I sleep like a
top. I have taken no medicine, but have
simply let nature reassert herself.
The Senator Was Alarmed In Florida.
"While in Florida some things developed
that frightened me. I went from insomnia
to vertigo. No sooner would I lie down
than my head would begin to whirl and
swim, and a most excruciating unconscious
ness, if I may use the expression, would
seize me. I had been smoking too much, I
thought, and I concluded to give that up.
There was no improvement. So I came to
the conclusion I was not smoking enough,
and I returned to the use of the weed. Still
no change.
"Finally I grew so much alarmed that I
started for home. At Philadelphia I con
cluded to consult physicians. My first
night in the city was the first that I bad
passed lor two months without that visita
tion of vertigo, as I believed it to be. I
waited another night, supposing the trouble
would recur, but I passed it in unbroken
sleep. Like the boy whose toothache
stopped at the door of the dentist's shop, I
seemed cured tbe day I started after the
doctor.
Much Better Without Physicians.
"However, I concluded to visit a special
ist the next morning, did so, and that night
my poor head swam and revolved the
moment it struck the pillow. Straightway
I concluded to let the doctors alone, and
since then I bare had no trouble. I
'learned one thing-, though: I nave no -vertigo.
The fact that my trouble occurs at
night, while I am in a reclining position,
knocks out tbe vertigo theory, the physi
cians sav. I go back to Beaver a new man
cured without medicine and by abstaining
from physicians."
The Senator laughed merrilv at what he
evidently considered a good joke on the
apostles of JEscuIapius. In answer to a
query as to his plans for the immediate
luture, Mr. Quay said:
"I Mill remain in Beaver until Saturday,
when I will likely start East At national
headquarters they want to see me, and I
am anxious to see them, for I have been out
of the channels of politics so long that I am
rather in the dark. No, I cannot express
any opinions as to results. The Democrats
seem to hi) unusually sanguine, but I have
vet to be shown botr they can hope to carry
New York,
A Wonderfully Apathetic Campaign.
"The apathy of this campaign is some
thing remarkable. I rode all the way from
Florida to Philadelphia without hearincr
one political argument on the trains, and
the only time I heard politics mentioned
was once when two drummers began to dis
cuss a Hill speech and mutually discovered
that neither one bad been able to make any
thing out of it
"How do I account for this apathy?
Well, we will say that it results lrom the
fact that both Harrison and Cleveland are
thoroughly known throughout the country
and personalities have not iound place in
the campaign. Now, see here, mv boy, if
there s any political information to be
given, you must give it You have been on
the scene and I haye not After I have
had a talk with the boys at New York
headquarters I may know more?'
The limited had stopped just longenough
for Mr. Quay to tell what he did not know
about politics, for at this point a belated
porter swung to the last platform and the
tracks were bare.
ONE MILLION FOE PEOTECTIOH.
A Nice ContrlDutlon to tho Campaign Fnnd
From Manufacturers. "
New Yobk, Oct 12. Spectall The cof
fers of the Republican National Committee,
over which Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss
exercises a watchful care, have at no time
during tbe campaign been in a depleted
condition. Money has been plentiful to
meet all needs of the committee, which
are many, in view of the numerous
bureaus and movements it is supporting
with its financial aid. Nexl week,however,
tbe goodly sum already at the disposal of
Treasurer Bliss will be swelled, it is said,
by a round million of good crisp dollars,
which can be used to great advantage dur
ing tbe latter days of the campaign, and
especially on the last election day. '
This big sum is the donation of protected
manufacturers, and business 'men and im
porters, who have been selling more goods
and makinc bigger profits since the Mc
Klnley bill became a law. Most of his
money, which has been collected in this
State, is expected to be expended here jn
the attempt to carry tbe State for Harrison
and Reid,

A CONVALESCENT EPILEPTIC.
Surgery's I-atest Remarkable Triumph
The Portion of the Drain That Controls
the Thumb Removed A Speedy Cure
Effected.
Philadelphia, Oct 12. SpcciaL
Surgery has learned a new secret of the
brain. An operation performed not long
ago at the Orthopedic Hospital is referred
to briefly in the recently published report
of the county visitors to the State Board of
Charities and will probably soon be the
talk of the profession throughout the coun
try. Tne patient, a woman suffering from
epilepsy, had attacks which showed them
selves in ber thumb. With marvellous
skill the operating . surgeon placed his
finger, so to speak, on the exact portion of
the brain whose activities control the
thnmbremoved a part of the brain which
was causing all the trouble, and brought
quick relief. At last reports tbe woman's
attacks had ceased, and with her head still
bound up she was moving cheerfully about
the hospital wards.
A convalescent epileptic is so rarely
known to tbe medical and jturgical profes
sion that the apparent recovery of the
Orthopedic Hospital's patient is triumph
enough in itself. Still more remarkable,
however, is the exact location in the brain
of the thumb's movements.
Tbe surgeon responsible for the operation
refustrs as yet to make known any details.
In pursuance of a well-known rule of his
profession's etiquette he will give it
scientific exposition in a medical paper and
probably prepare a more popular article for
one of the magazines.
AN ENVOY FROM THE POPE
Arrives In America, Charged With Several
Important Missions.
New York, Oct 12. Archbishop Satolli
arrived here to-day on. the steamship Ma
jestic. He comes on an important mission
from the Holy See as a Papal delegate aud
is accompanied b Monsignor Dennis
O'Connell, bis secretary and inter
preter. The general good of the
Church will be considered in a
broad way by the representative ot the
Vatican. He will investigate the condi
tion of the church in this country, its mem
bership and recent growth. The
Faribault school system will be studied.
Mgr. Satolli comes, also, to repre
sent the Pope at the opening of the
World's Fair. Leo XXIlL has taken a
deep interest in the World's Fair. He has
engaged space through Archbishop Ireland
in which to exhibit some of the choice
treasures Of the Vatican.
Tne visitors were received by a deputa
tion Bent by Cardinal Gibbons, with wheni
the Papal Legate will pass his first official
visit Tbe Papal Legate and the Balti
more delegation will proceed to Baltimore,
and thence to Chicago by a special car.
The legate may lemam a year or more in
tbls country.
SNOW, SLEET AND WIND.
Colorado Having Every Variety of Dis
agreeable Weather All at Once.
Denver, Oct 12. The snow, rain and
sleet storm which set in last night, added a
heavy wind to its variety to-day, and all
day long an unprecedented storm prevailed.
From meager reports from points in the
State, it is shown that the storm is general
in Colorado and also in parts of Utah. All
communication by telegraph to towns in
Colorado have been entirely interrupted
during tbe entire day, and as the storm still
continues the prospect of restoring the
wires to-night is very poor.
In Denver signs were blown down, cor
nices blown off and hundreds of trees were
either uprooted or split by the wind. Sev
eral persons were hit by flying objects.
Probably the most damage was done by
falling electric light and street car trolley
wires, for at least a dozen horses were
killed by live wires.

JUST WEEEE IT 13 TO BE OBSERVED
rsrKCIAL TEIEGItAM TO TnE DISPATCII.1
Peinceton-, N. J., Oct 12. Taylor
Reed, Assistant Professor of Astronomy
here, last night sighted from Princeton Ob
servatory Jupiter's new satellite, thus
making, so far as is known, the first corrob
orator of Prof. E. E. Barnard's discovery,
announced about a month ago from the Lick
Observatory. Prof. Young, iu tulking of
the observation to a Dispatch correspon
dent to-day, said:
"As Soon as the discovery was announced
I turned the telescope upon the region
about Jupiter, where, from the information
we had received, the new satellite ought to
have been, but thongb we searched night
after night under the most favorable cir
cumstances, I failed to corroborate Prol
Barnard's statements, as reported by the
press. I was much puzzled, though not in
clined to doubt the truth. So I wrote him
for more definite information. His reply
came a few day;, ago. and from it wearer;
soon cdic to fee inereason oi our laiinrrv
"In the accoSnts we had reeelved,Tiie
period in time revolution of the satelli te
was given as 11 hours aud 50 minutes, but
owing to tbe few observations which had
been made, at the time of tbe publication,
this statement bad not been sufficiently
verified, and was found to be incorrect
From Prof. Barnardfc letter, in which he
gave the nosition of the satellite as ob
served by him September 10, 12 and 14, 1
was able to work out for myself the correc
tion. I found the true period to be 11
hours, 56 minutes and 40 seconds This
difference in a month would place tbe satel
lite on the opposite side of Jupiter from
where we were looking.
"As soon as we received the correction
Mr. Reed continued the searcb. The first
sight he got of tbe little body was Mondav
night This observation we corroborated
again last night, so without doubt the body
we saw is the satellite discovered by Prof.
Barnard. Several astronomical papers
have now published over 200 different ob
servations of it made by him. There can
be no doubt, therefore, that Jupiter has
five satellites instead of four, as Galileo
and all astronomers since bis day have
thought This one last discovered is the
nearest to the planet"
B00DLERS EAVESDROPPED.
A Concealed Stenographer Takes Down
Every Word ol the Toledo Bargain.
Toledo, Oct. 12. In the trial of Daly,
one of tbe indicted Councilm'en, to-day,
Stenographer Bassett explained that he was
employed by Mr. Lorenz, Vice President
of the Pluto Oil Company; that an opening
had been cut in the floor underneath
Lorenz's desk, and that he and AugUBt
Machen went into the cellar, climbed up on
store boxes and were thus enabled to hear
all that passed in the office through the
opening. He took stenographic notes of the
conversation between Daly and Mr. Lorenz,
in which the former demanded 5,500 as
the price of passing tbe ordinauce granting
the Pluto Company the right to pipe cer
tain streets to furnish fuel oil to manu
facturing plants. Mr. Lorenz asked him for
the names of tbe men in the combine, and
Daly named 11, including himself. The
price demanded was $500 each.
Secretary Machen corroborated every
point in liassett's testimony. The indict
ments were found on the testimony ot the
Pluto Oil Company. Mr. Lorenz bad ex

THEANXIOUS WATCHERS
ler Bedside Unable to Do Much
'to Relieve Her Saffering.
PRESIDENT IS CAREWORN,
And Ills Frfcnd3 ire Kow Getting Wor
ried About His Health.
HE CAJT ATTEND TO AFFAIRS OF STATE
rpriCIAI. TIXIOnAM TO TrtI DI1PATCIT.J
Washington, Oct. 12. Mrs. Harrison
is still lingering between life and death.
She cannot live many days. The President
and the anxious watcbers at ber bedside can
do nothing to relieve her, except to oc
casionally move her when she becomes rest
less and uncomfortable or administer to her
small quantities of liquid nourishment
The President has been absent from his
office the greater part of to-day, for -he could'
not concentrate his thoughts upon affairs of
state while his wife was dying in an ad
joining room. In spite oi all that has been -written
on the subject, the statement made
by Dr. Gardner last night showing how
near the sick woman is to death, and pub
lished exclusively in The Dispatch this
morning, was in the nature of a paintul sur
prise, not only at the White House, but
throughout the city.
While there has been a general convic
tion for several weeks past that the Presi
dent's wife could not recover, only a few
persons were prepared foe tbe frank but
distressing message of the family physician.
Tho Crisis Near at Hand.
Even Secretary Halford, who makes sev
eral visits daily to the living portion of the
Executive Mansion, could hardly realize
that the crisis is as near at hand as indi
cated by Dr. Gardner. Mr. Halford did not
go to New York, as was inadvertently re
ported !at night He is on duty as the
President's representative, and is almost
the only official of the administration in
the city.
The change in Mrs. Harrison's condition
which set in on Monday night portends the
near approach ot the end." Whether that
will be reached a week or a month from
to-day is, of course, a question that medi
cal science cannot answer. There ha3 not
been a moment of the last few davs not
filled with the deepest anxiety for tbe
President and his family.
So long as Mrs. Harrison can partake of
nourishment, her flickering strength can be
revived. From one hour to another there
is practically little change manifested. She
is ever and always the same sweet, patient
sufferer, trying as far as she can to brighten
the sadness of the President and her chil
dren by always appearing to feel better.
Last night passed as all the nishts have
lately, in short periods of sleep. She is
still taking considerable nourishment, such
as malt, etc., and of a kind where the
smallest possible amount will afford the
greatest sustenance. Mrs. Harrison has
been in bed now nearly eight months.
The President- Looking Careworn.
Tresident Harrison is lookia-xbadly. He
strain' on his mind the-last lew month?, that
bit family almost compel him to go out
every day for a walk or a drive. His sad
face betravs more than it is possible for his
lips to utter, the grief of the approaching
loss of his wife.
At 1:30 o'clock there was no decided
change iu Mrs. Harrison's condition. Sne
was resting easily and had partiken of some
light nourishment, broth and egzs. The
President came down to the East Room at
noon to shake hands with about
75 persons who called, and
retired immediately afterward to the sick
room. He spent but a few minutes in
bis office to-day, being almost constantly at
the side of his wife, and althoiish, as stated,
there has been no decided change in the
condition of the invalid, the air of depres
sion in the White House is more percepti
ble than heretofore.
When the President came down stairs and
shook hands with the visitors in the East
Room many persons spoke to him words of
sympathy, "to which the President's falter
ing lips could frame no reply.
Unnsnal Sympathy Is Aroused.
The critical illness of Mrs. Harrison has
aroused Unusual sympathy. It has intensi
fied the interest which people naturally
feel in the ivife of the President of the
United States. Her sickness and the prob
ability of her death in the near future have
served to draw the public closer to her.
Men and women everywhere are learning
that Mr. Harrison, although not self-advertised,
is a remarkable lady. She is
strongly domestic in her tastes and shrinks
from notoriety, but has great ability as well
as refinement Her illness has stirred the
affections of a cenerous people as nothing
else could, and the world at large is coming
to know and admire her in spite of herself.
The President said to a friend a tew days
before Mrs. Harrison was taken to Loon
Lake that his poor wife was worn out with
her social duties. "She loves her friends
and is very sympathetic, but she dislikes to
be the center ot attraction among curious
people. She can't bear to be stared at She
realizes that people who see her have only a
friendly interest, but it hurts her to be
made conspicuous."

Lida Pastorius Arrested for RcccUlnc; and
Concealing Stolen Goods.
TJniontown, Oct 12. SpedaC Lida
Pastorius, the "Queen of the Cooleys," was
brought to jail here this evening by Deputy
Sheriff Pegg. She was arrested at her
home, two miles south of Fairchance, and

cealing stolen goods. Deputy Sheriff Pegg
drove to town this evening with the fair
prisoner, and took her immediately to
'Squire Wilson's office, where the commit
ment naoers were made out An anxious
crowd gathered to get a glimpse of Frank
Cooler's sweetheart, bnt she was quickly
taken to jail. She bore in ber arms an
infant child, whose father is said to be tbe
dead desperado. She is a maidenly-looking
woman, and rather handsome,
It was Frank Cooley's love for this
woman that induced him to return from tba
West after he bad fled there for refuge last
March, and it was ou account of her that be
remained in the county. Mrs. Cooley
stated to-day that had it not been for Lida
Pastorius, Frank would have gone out
West several months ago and given up bis
career of lawlessness.
