Buffalo, Oct.. 5. Last evening's ses
sion of the second annual cougrow
of Real Estate Dealers was called to or
der shortly after 8 o'clock. Henry Georgo
ot New York delivered an interesting ad
dress on the "Slnglo Tax Question."
Wlillo Mr. George's theories on this ques
tion were not entirely new to many of his
hearers lio was listened to nttentivoly
Ho advocated his plan .of taxing land
alono, while leaving tho improvements
untaxed, in a vigorus manner and re
ceived much npplnuso.
Tho convention then took up routine
business, receiving reports of committees
which will ho acted on later.
It Is safe to say that there are fully
7,000 delegates and visitors in tho city.
Tho Detroit and St. Louis contingents
came in shortly beforo midnight. Tho
former enmo In n specinl car decorated in
true western style, and bearing banners
modestly declaring that tho City of tho

city camo in about 8 o'clock In the morn
ing. Louisville, Nashville and Cincin
nati delegations arrived an hour later
and the delegates from New York and
Boston, Philadelphia and other points In
the Kaut readied hero about tho same
time.
No sooner did the delegates emerge
from their coaches than they began to
boom their respective abiding places as
tho only place to bo considered for tho
next placo of meeting.
This question will likely prove tue big
bono of contention before tho convention.
At 10 o'clock, tho hour for the opening
ot tho convention, Music Hall was well
filled.
There was considerable delay in calling
tho convention to order and it was 11
o'clock beforo Piesldont Weil brought

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Threatening Letters to a l'atullr Traced
to tliii Wllr.
Lkwistos, Me., Oct. 5. Tho solution
of a mystery that has for some time puz
eled tho Inhabitants and created much
excitement in tho town of Gray, appears
to have been reached.
In April, 1891, a noto was found In tho
hallway of tho resldenco of Leonard
Bennett, then located in Brunswick. Tho
letter purported to come from a sweet
heart of Mr. Bennett In his youthful dnys,
and askeiLto bo given an opportunity to
meet him.
Little attention was paid to the first
missivo, but others came in quick succes
sion, threatening the life of Bennott's
wife and his grown up sou nnd daughter,
and expressing in burning terms lovo and
devotion for the husband and a desire
that they might live together.
To escape this persecution tho family
removed to Gray, but still the letters
camo and the family lived iu constant
fear that tho threats would bo carried
out and that somo member of tho house
hold would bo murdered.
A quiet investigation thnt has boen
going on has resulted in fastening tho
authorship of tho letters on Mrs. Bonnett,
who is believed to be Insane.

London, Oct. G. It is boltoved that
thoro is no hope for tho recovory of Lord
Tennyson. Dr. Dabbs, who Is in con.
stunt attendance, says that his patient's,
condition is very grave. The latest bul
let! fi Issued said;
Lord Tennyson's condition la oxtromoly
critical, lie is much weaker and takes
nourishment with difficulty.
Tennyson's illness began on Friday.
He has suffered from gout for several
years, but the disease has not become
acute until recently. Tho rapid develop
ment of inlluenza early In tho week
brought him to his bed on Friday. He
was strongly opposed to yielding to tho
malady, ns tho special train which for
years has conveyed him from Hnselmero
to the shore opposito his winter homo on
the Isle of Wight had already been or
dered. Ho begged hard to be allowed to
go, but Sir Andrew Clark and Dr. Dabbs
told him that the journey could be rnado
only nt tho peril uf his life. Tennyson
reluctantly consented to remain at Haslo
mere. Queen Victoria, Gladstone, tho Earl of
Eosehery, Emperor William and dozotis
of other dignitaries uro sending messages
and receiving news as to tho poet's condi
tion. The Queen receives reports three
times daily.
Tho only persons at tho bedside of the
patient are tho physicians, who pass prac
tically the whole day aud night iu tho
house, Lady Tennyson, who is a chronic
invalid, Hon. Hallam Tennyson, the
poet's son, and his family.
It seems highly improbable that he will
recover, or oven last moro tlinn two or
threo days, although his physicians re
fuse to speak as to the result of his illness.
He Is 8U years old.
BRUTAL PUGILIST MITCHELL.

Bow Street Police Court nt a morning
trial to answer a charge of assault.
At midnight Mitchell had a row with
an old man named Salvage In a street oft
the Strand.
Both men had been drinking.
How tho trouble started has not been
ascertained, but after a few words Mitch
ell suddenly struck the old mau a savage
blow on the ear.
Tho blow laid open tho old man's scalp
and ho fell stunned to the ground.
A crowd gathered, shouting "shame,"
"shame," etc.
A policeman arrosted Mitchell and
locked him up.
Salvage's wound bled profusely. He
lost about a pint of blood before ho could
be got to tho bosnltal. It is feared that I
his skull is fractured. Mitchell was re -

journed, after electing tho following oftl
cersi President, Chnuncoy T. Black.
Secretary, Lawronce Gardner.
Treasurer, Gov. Roswoll P. Flower.
Tho convention was held In the Acade
my of Music yesterday, and was a most
enthusiastic gathering. Nearly 4,000 deb
egatcs were present.
Precisely nt 10:30 ox-Presldcnt Cleve
land entered nttho left wing, escorted by
Ohauucoy Black, President of the League
Without further preliminaries Presi
dent Black called the convention to order
nnd read amid continual interuptlons ot
cheering his address:
At tho closo of Mk Black's addrs3,
which occupied a little over twenty min
utes in delivery, cheers for Cleveland
were resumed.
As they died away President Black
onco more Rtepped to the front nnd pre
sented Grover Clevelnnd.
The convention cheered Its longest. -Mr.
Cleveland stood with his hands folded toy
ing with his oye-glassos, waiting for it to
subside; but nt his opening sentences
tho cheers broko out again nnd ho said
with somo sternness: "Gentlemen, you
must keep quiet; wo havo had enough
noiso."
Mr. Clovelund then said in part s
Mrt. President and Gentlemen :
It affords mo ospeclal pleasure to ox-
tond to you ou this occasion a hearty
welcome
An a citizen of this proud municipality
I am glad to assure you that our hos
pitality is always open aud gonorouj.
As nn unyielding, consistent beliover
In Democratio principles, I trust 1 neod
not hosltato to pledgo to tho representa
tives of organized Democracy, tho good
will and fraternal sympathy of this Dem
ocratic city.
This then is no holiday assomblago,
but au impressive convocation in further
ance of tho designs nnd purposes, for tho
accomplishment of which you nnd those
you represent, aro uanueu togetuer.
Theso designs and purposes, as declared
bv your association, are: Tho preserva
tion of the Constitution of tho United
States, the autonomy ot the Stnto3, local
self government nnd freedom ot elections:
opposition to tho imposition of taxes bo-
youd tho necessities ot tuo government,
economically admiulsterod, and tho pro
motion ot economy in all branches of the
public service.
Theso pi-oiVsMons embody tho purest
patriotism, ..':d the loftiest aspirations
of American cit izenship. Though at all
times they slumld suggest to us tha
strongest obligation to political effort,
their motive force, as Incentives to polltl
cnl activity and watchfulness, should be
irresistible at a time when tho Constitu
tion is held in light esteem us against
tho accomplishment of selfish purposes,
when Stnto boundaries aro hardly a bar
rier to centralized power, and when
locnl self government and freedom of elec
tions are tho scoil of partisanship. Those
who subscribe to tho creed of this Asso
ciation and make any claim to sincerity,
can hardly excuse themselves for lack ol
effort, at a tlmo when tho necessities ol
the Government, economically adminis
tered, havo but little relation to tho taxa
tion of tho people nnd when extravagauco
In tho public service has become a con
tagious plague.
To thoso who hope for oetterthings tins
1 convention of Democratic clubs is a bright
1 promise of reform. Unorganized good
intentions aud idle patriotic aspirations
cannot successfully contend for mastery
with the compact forces of private inter
ests nnd greed, nor is tho organization
always the most useful which has the
Widest extent.
I am sure that I can say nothing better
In taking my leave of you, than to wish
that your convention may be a most pro
fitable and encouraging one, and that, at
its conclusion, you may resume your
places In your homo organizations, newly
inspired to determined and zealous effort
in the cause of True Democracy.
As ho retired to the back of the stage
at the close ot his remarks tho represen
tative Democrats who formed the "set
ting" of the stage rose and applaudod aud
waved their handkerchiefs; the Harvard
boys yelled; the audience stood up and
cheered, the band played "Four Years
More of Grover" and Mr. Cleveland with
drew. The general business of tho convention
was then entered upon.
