000. Government bonds weaker: four per
cents, 119%; three per cents, 100 bid. State
bonds steady.
Stocks were weak and depressed to-day on
the announcement of the withdrawal of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company from
the trunk line passenger pool, the rumored
resignation of Commissioner Fink, reports of
of rate catting at the West and the confirma
tion of the sale of New Jersey Central stock
by W. H. Vanderbilt. Grangers, coal aud
trunk line shares were the weakest. Early
Pacific Mail and Union Pacific were strongly
held, and advanced to 55)4 for the former and
56)4 for the latter. Subsequently there was a
reaction of 2(#1% per cent., respectively, and
in sympathy with the break in the other
mariet. At the close there was a rally of l
per cent., for Lackawanna. Short interest
nas matcriallv increased by the circulation of
the unfavorable reports given above. Com
missioner Fink’s resignation was denied later
in the dav. Compared with yesterday’s close,
prices are )4@2)4 per cent, lower. Sales 219,-

Chicago. Oct. 11.—The wheat market to
day was merely an exhibition of determined
grit on the part of heavy holders to keep
prices up against the persistent attacks of
sellers. It is a battle that has been going on
for a week or two, and which has resulted in
keeping the Chicago market higher in pro
portion than at any other prominent point.
November wheat opened at 78%c, ana re
mained within a range of %c during the fore
noon. December opened at 80c, sold up %c,
then fell down below the opening, but the
process was slow and prices went down hard
in spite of all the efforts to accelerate their
soeed. Liverpool reiiorted rather more in
quiry, while Mark Lane was steady. The re
ceipts here and at Milwaukee and Toledo
were leas than yesterday, but King A Cos., of
Toledo, telegraphed to prominent dealers
here that the next visible supply report would
show an increase of 3,000,000 bushels. The
closing figures were the lowest of the day,
l>eing 78)s<#73!4c for November, 79)g#79%c for
December, and 80%c for January. In the
corn pit there was another sudden rise in
prices: The special drive of to-day was iu
October, which opened %c higher at 55%c and
in an hour advanced nearly Sc, with rather
livelv having by the “shorts." November fol
lowed but at a’much sower pace, while all
the year and May remained quite steady un
der the circumstances. The “bulls were
helped along by the tenor of the t reign ad
vices, which were strong on corn, with an ad
vance of 60 per quarter at London. The re
ceipts here were light, oeing only 150 care.
The market closed at 56%c for October, sj%c
for November, 4t%c for all the vear, and 41c
for May. Oats ruled strong, closing at 2,%c

BORN TO BE IN POLITICS.
TWO FAMILIES YYHO HAVE BEEN
IN EVERY CONGRESS.
Senators Bayard and Harrison the Rep
resentatives Who are at Present Keep
ing np the Record of Their Ancestors
—Secretary Frellnghuysen’s Family
Service Almost as Long.
Correct t.>nd*nc* of th* Morning Mow*.
Washington, Oct. 10.—The recent an
nouncement of the nomination of John
Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, for
Congress calls attention to the grip that
certain families in this country have on
public life. The John Quincy Adams in
question is a grandson of the illustrious
person whose name he bears, and conse
quently a great grandson of that other
Adams who was father of the son, and
President before him. He is also a son of
Charles Francis, who, although not a Pres
ident, as was his father and grandfather,
has been a member of Congress,
as they were. Had he not declined,
the Forty-ninth Congress probably would
have not only had the honor of
having in it a grandson and great grand
son of Chief Magistrates of the United
States, but also of having in the same
person a member of a family whose every
generation has been represented in Con
gress since the country had a Congress.
John Adams, the second President, was a
member of the Continental Congress be
fore he became President. His son, John
Quincy Adams, was a member of Con
gress before he became President. Charles
Francis Adams, bis son. was a member of
Congress before he fell a victim to the
bunco man.
This somewhat remarkable succession
in Congressional office of the Adams fam
ily by every generation leads to some fur
ther inquiry upon the subject, and devel
ops the somewhat interesting fact that
there are now two men in public life
whose families have been represented in
Congress by every generation since the
days of the Continental Congress, and a
third whose Congressional record runs
back to within a few years of the Conti
nents! Congress. Two of these three are
now in the Senate; the third has been
i.>. ii, i, mii ..UK..,,
SENATOR BAYARD, OF DELAWARE.
Taking them in alphabetical order, the
first of these three is Senator Bayard.
His grandfather, James Ashton Bayard,
was a member of the Ffth, Sixth, and Sev
enth Congresses, and became a Senator
in 1805, holding the position for many
years. His son, James A. Bayard, fol
lowed in his footsteps later on, being a
Senator from 1851 to 1869, at which date
the mantle fell upon the present Senator,
his son, who has since served, the Bayard
family having thus monopolized the seat
In question lor more than halt ot the pres
ent century.
Secretary Frelinghuvsen is another of
this celebrated trio. He was, as is well
known, Senator from New Jersey for a
number of years. He w'as also, the reoord
shows, the nephew and adopted son of
Theodore Frelinghuvsen, who was also a
Senator, and who was, in his turn, a son
of Senator Frelinghuysen, who entered the
Senate in 1793 after a considerable service
In the Continental Congress.
The third in the list is the present Sena
tor from Indiana, Ben Harrison, and he is
entitled to special mention beoause he Is
fourth in succession and direct descent as
a member of the Harrison family in the
Congress ot the United States.
His father, John Scott Harrison,
who was in the Thirty-third
and Thirty-fourth Congresses, was
son of President Harrison, who was in
the Fourteenth Congress before he became
President, and was a son of Benjamin
Harrison, a member of the Continental
Congress. Thus Mr. Harrison has the
“record” thus far, for beside being the
grandson of a President, he is fourth in
direct succession of the generations of
Harrisons who have been in Congress
from the Continental Congress down.
Should Mr. John Quincy Adams succeed
in his ambition, however, he will lower
the record on the proud Benjamin, for he
will not only be fourth in generation of
Congressmen and grandson of a Presi
dent, as is Mr. Harrison, but great-grand
son of another President in the same line
as well.
SENATOR BEN HARRISON, OF INDIANA.
It is a curious fact, and one worthy of
mention in this connection, that, asid#
from the sons of Presidents Harrison and
Adams, no President’s sons have been
members of Congress. George C. Wash
ington, who was a member of the Twen
tieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-seoond
Congresses from Maryland, was a grand
nephew of Washington. Another inter
esting fact worthy of mention in this oon
neotion, and one probably not generally
recognized, is that all of the Presidents,
except Grant and Taylor, were members
of Congress before their election to
the Presidency. This does not relate
to the present occupant of the
position, though he was for a
brief time a participant in the affairs of
the Senate by reason of his position as
Vice President and consequent Presi
dent of the Senate. Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were in
the Continental Congress. Jackson, Van
Buren, Harrison, Pierce, Buchanan,
Johnson and Garfield were Senators,
though Johnson’s time in the Senate was
but 20 days, and that after his term as
President had expired. Harrison, Tyler,
Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lin
coln, Johnson, Hayes and Garfield were
members of the House.
SECRETARY FRELINGHCYSKR,
Asa rule few Congressmen are succeeded
in Congress by their descendants, though
there are illustrious exceptions to this
rule. Congressman Cox, of New York,
for instance, is a grandson of James Cox,
ol New Jersey, who was a member of the
Tenth Congress from New Jersey, dying
while a member of that body, John Brown
Clay, who was a member of the Thirty
fifth Congress, was a son of Henry Clay;
and Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, who is"a mem
ber of the present House, is also a member
of the same illustrious family. Howell
Cobb, who was in the Twenty-ninth,
Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirty-fourth
Congresses, and was Speaker of the House,
was a nephew of Howell Cobb,
who was in the Tenth, Eleventh
and Twelfth Congresses. Enoch
and Levi Lincoln, who were in Congress
several years ago—one from Massa
chusetts and the other from Maine—were
sons of Levi Lincoln, who was a member
of the Sixth Congress from Massachusetts.
Benator Colquitt, of Georgia, is a son of
W. T. Colquitt, of Georgia, who was
in the House and Senate many years ago.
John W. Crockett, of Tennessee, who
was in the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth
Congresses, was a son of Davy Crockett,
who was a member of the ‘Twenty-first,
Twenty-second and Twenty-third Con
gresses. James and John Findlay, broth
ers, were in the House in the Nineteenth
Congress, while another brother, William,
was in the Senate at the same time. B.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, was, a Sena
tor to succeed W. P. Johnson, is a grand
son of John Brown, who was in the Con
tinental Congress, whose brother
was a Senator from 1813 to
1823, and afterwards Minister
to France. The late Zachariah Chandler
was a nephew of John Chandler, who was
in the Ninth and Tenth Congresses, and
whose brother was a Senator from Maine.
Senator Don Cameron, as everybody
knows, is a son of Simon Cameron.
Clement C. Clay, who withdrew from the
Senate to become a member of the Con
federate Congress, was a son of Senator
Clay, of Alabama, who was in the Senate
from 1837 to 1841. John C. Breckenridge,
in the Thirty-second and Thirty-third
Congresses, was grandson of Senator and
Attorney General Breckenridge. Jeremiah
Black was a son of Henry Black, who
was elected to Congress, hut died before
taking his seat. T. F. Marshall, of Ken
tucky, was a nephew of John Marshall,
and T. A. (Marshall was a son of
Humphrey Marshall, all members of Con
gress.

Donahue, who had ridden Economy, was un
hurt. It seems that Richard L. on the out
side had crowded in Lucy B. and fallen.
Lucy B. fell over him and Topsey, and Econ
omy coming up immediately behind, rolled
over the first two. Rivers on Richard L, and
Farley on Lucy 8., were badly hurt. Garri

AMATEUR OARSMEN.
The Bxeoutlve Committee Determine to
Look Into the Murphy-O’Brlen Match.
New York, Oct. 11. —The Executive
Committee of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen met to-night in the
Gilsey House. Henry YV. Garfield, of
Albany, presided. The other gentlemen
present were Isaac W. Houghton of
Boston, C. G. Peterson of New York,
W. P. Tucker and H. K. Hinchman
of Philadelphia, and M. A. Mullen of
Newark. The resignation of J. K.
Stevens, of Saginaw, Mich., as a member
of the committee was accepted, and E.C.
Parsons, of Dickson, Ills., Commodore of
the Mississippi Valley Rowing Associa
tion. was chosen in his place. The report
of the Chairman of the Regatta Committee
raised the question of the status of
John J. Murphy, James Pickington and
P. E. Nagle, of the Metropolitan rowing
club, of this city. The committee re
ceived intormation that although Mur
phy is the owner of a grocery store and
barroom in Boston he devotes himself
exclusively to rowing in the rowing
season, and travels about the country
visiting places where regattas are held in
company with a number of men who make
a living by betting. Messrs. Garfield and
Houston were appointed a sub-committee
to investigate the circumstances con
nected with the match that is arranged to
take place in the Charles river on Oct. 15
between Murphy and O’Brien, of Boston,
it being suspected that $1,600 has been
deposited with J. T. Ormond as a stake
on this match. The cases of Pilkington
and Nagle were not acted on.

RANGLES ON DANDIES’ WRISTS.
How the Single Eye-Glass Interferes
with the Process of Inserting the Soup
Spoon.
1 regret to say, says a New York letter,
that the number of men who wear bangles
on their wrists Is slowly increasing in
New York. The fashion has not spread
with unusual rapidity, but is surely and
slowly gaining ground, and the notice
able part of it is that the affectation is
more prominent among Americans than
among foreigners. I have observed that
the same thing is true of the single eye
glass. In Delmonieo’s at all times one
may see anywhere from five to a dozen
men attempting to eat soup and hold their
glasses in their eyes at the same time,
and it is a rare night that does not wit
ness one or two accidents from this affec
tation. When a man is opening his
mouth in the vicinity of the soup spoon
the muscles oi his face naturally relax
and the eye-glass drops from his eye. Of
course it drops on the edge ot the soup
plate, and that is the end of the soup, the
eye-glass and the dude for that particular
evening.
Tattooing Among Alaska Indians.
A man who has passed much time trap
ping and hunting in Alaska says; “Al
though the Yukon Indians have aban
doned many of their old customs, under
the teaching of occasional missionaries,
all of them still keep to the queer habit of
tattooing. The way they do this is differ
ent from any I ever saw or heard of. In
stead of pricking the stuff ia with sharp
ened bones or needles, they make a paste
out of charcoal and greasa, soak a thread
in it, punch a needle through the flesh so
that it comes out a different hole from the
one where it entered, and then draw the
thread through under the skin. The ope
ration is painful, for the flesh swells up
and looks very much inflamed. Men
tattoo only their bauds and wrists with
pictures ol the aobler animals or fish, but
the women ta.ctoo their faces also. These
latter begin the process when they are
quite your.g, making birds, turtles, or
some oth'-T insignificant things on their
hands p.nd wrists, while they draw lines
of different kinds on their chins and the
lower part of their cheeks. Asa rule
thi j tattooing is done entirely in blue, but
r.ow and then there is an Indian has
. dotted red spots through the blue.’’

Correspondence of the Morning Metes.
New York, Oct. 10.—The distinguished
men and aristocratic personages who have
had streets named after them in this city
would not feel complimented if they knew
to what base uses some of those thorough
fares are put, and how given over to pov
erty, if not to crime, they nearly all are.
Asa rule the more distinguished the
name a New York street bears, the more
squalid and poverty-stricken it is. Wash
ington street, for example, which in Bos
ton is the chief thoroughfare of the city,
here is lined for the better part of its
length with tenements, and nowhere is
worthy of its name. Franklin street is a
great improvement on Washington, but
the street named after the distinguished
English contemporary of Washington and
Franklin and sympathizer with the cause
which they represented—the great Lord
Chatham—has become a synonymn for
roguery and dishonest dealing. A Chat
ham saloon-keeper, by the way, has the
announcement outside his premises, “Pe
ruvian cocktails a specialtj.” 1 wonder
whether they were Blaine’s favorite drink
when the plumed knight was Secretary
of State! Madison, Monroe, Jefferson and
Jackson streets bear evidences of having
seen better davs, but are equally evidently
on the downward path. The same may
be said of Clinton, Montgomery, Morris,
Roosevelt, and a host of other down-town
streets with distinguished names. De
lancey street commemorates the Tory
leader of the Revolution in an unsavory
manner, but Judge Jones, his fellow Tory,
who, like a true patriot, left his country
for his country’s good, is remembered in
the still respectable Great Jones street,
which marks a boundary line of the Jones
farm.
The site of the St. Charles Hotel, on
Broadway, near Bleeeker street, is ap
parently all that there is left of that farm,
and, despite Its situation, owing to cer
tain circumstances, it is. far from paying
property. It is left in trust to the chil
dren of the survivor of two members of
the Jones family. Mrs. Seabury, widow
of a descendant of Bishop Seabury, and
her brother. Mrs. Seabury has the rental
of the hotel, but as that merely covers the
taxes, she is not much the gainer from it.
Of course, the antiquated structure
should be pulled down and a busi
ness building with modern improvements
erected in its place, but Mrs. Seabury is
naturally not inclined to spend a lortune
in improving property which may never
be hers, and her brother of course has not
so much interest in rendering the premi
ses valuable as she has. Consequently
the spectacle is presented of a building
on Broadway renting for no more than
enough to pay taxes and repairs, and this
has been going on for years.
WHILE ON A SIMILAR BUBJECT LET ME
TELL YOU
a bit of family history connected with old
John Cochrane, the candidate for Alder
man-at-large on the Tammany ticket.
The story is an old one—older even than
Gen. Cochrane himself—but it has proba
bly never been told in print, and it is in
teresting, as it treats of a parent possess
ing a harshness usually found only in the
hard-hearted fathers of fiction. Gen.
Cochrane’s father, who also had some
military title—l think it was Captain;
Generals were not so common in those
days—was in love with the daughter of
Peter Smith, the founder of Peterboro, in
the central part of this city, and father of
Gerritt Smith, the great Abolitionist. Bis
suit was not countenanced by the lady’s
parents, her father being especially
averse, but he was nevertheless allowed
to visit her. He was even permitted to
take her out driving—in those primitive
days it was not considered improper in a
young woman being alone with a young
man—and he made use of this privilege
one [day to drive to a magistrate’s and
get married. This done, the bridal pair
continued their drive to the house of
James Kip, one of the family, after which
Kip’s bay in the East river is named, in
Utica, where they spent their honeymoon,
Mr. Kip being a friend of both bride and
groom. Peter Smith never forgave his
daughter, and when she attended her
mother’s funeral, father and daughter
went to the grave in the same carriage
without speaking to each other. He also
punished her in his will, it 1 remember
rightly, by cutting her off with the pro
verbial shilling, but her brother Gerritt,
who, fanatic as some considered him, was
equally just and generous, repaired in a
great degree his injustice.
While, as the secret marriage of Miss
Kernochan last winter, as well as the
more recent coachman elopements, show,
it is perhaps as easy for maidens to mar
ry against the will of their parents now as
it was in the days of Peter Smith. Young
people of the social standing of Miss
Smith and Capt. Cochrane would not now
be allowed to be alone together as they
were, at any rate if they were New
Yorkers. A properly brought up New
York girl only sees young men in the
presence of others. Her callers are re
ceived either in the midst of the family
circle or with the other members of the
family surveying the scene from an ad
joining room. She goes to balls with her
father or brother, such a thing as an
escort not related to her not being
tolerated. The young man who asks
her to go to the theatre must ask a mar
ried woman to accompany them to play
propriety; and, as so small a party would
be stiff, not to speak of three not being
company, he generally feels obliged to
ask others, so that a theatre party, with
the acccompanying supper at Delmon
ico’s or some other expensive place, is too
expensive for any but the possessor of a
fortune to often indulge in. Such a girl
is only called on in evening dress, and the
result is that a man may know a New
York woman for years and never see her
alone, while, unless he has time to go to
alternoon receptions, she never sees him
in anything but swallow tails!
MUCH IS CONTINUALLY SAID OF CLEVE
LAND’S UNPOPULARITY
with the working people. Now the Lon
don Theatre in the Bowery is principally
frequented by this very class. How un
popular Cleveland is is shown by the re
ception which his name met the other
evening when one of the performers in a
song enumerated the different Presiden
tial candidates. Blaine's name was
passed over in silence; Butler’s received
a few scattered cheers; when Cleveland
was mentioned the entire audience arose
as one man, and cheer after cheer rent
the building. It was some time before
the performance could go on.
A newspaper man, in whose judgment
1 have great confidence, told me a few
days ago, as the result of a fortnight’s
tour in Ohio, that, while the Republicans,
in his opinion, will carry the State, their
majority will be kept under 10,000, and
the result would, therefore, not affect the
general election one way or another. He
acknowledged that the Democrats were
confident of victory, but he does not be
lieve their confidence justified in view of
the tremendous efforts the Republicans
are making. The latter know that if they
cannot hold their own in Ohio—and Ohio
has gone Republican in the October ot
Presidential years every election since
the foundation of the “grand old party”—
their candidate might as well withdraw,
and, if money will carry Ohio, money will
do it.
A FRIEND OF MINE MET GEN. CHRISTEN
SEN,
business manager for Drexel, Morgan &
Cos., between the banking house and the
sub-Treasury building the other day.
“What do you suppose those two men are
carrying?”" asked the General, pointing to
two negroes who preceded him with an
iron box between them. My friend giv
ing the conundrum up, the General an
swered it himself. “Thirteen millions of
dollars!” On my friend expressing sur
prise that such an enormous lot of money
should be carried through the streets so
openly and apparently so unguardedly,
the General called his attention to six de
tectives who, with himself, formed a guard
for the $13,000,000, Each of the negroes,
too, WBB handcuffed to the handle of the
box which he hold, so that their burden
could not have been carried off without
taking them too. Thesa precautions
against robbery certainly seemed suffi
cient, in view of the fact that the distance
to be traversed was but a few yards, Gen.
Christensen, by the way. Is a Republican,
who ardently supports Cleveland, and he
has no little influence among his Scandi-
navian countrymen.
John McCullough, the actor, whose re
cent breakdown in Chioago excited sym
pathy even in those who knew the cause,
arrived in town yesterday. He seemed,
weak in body, but showed little evidence
of his mind being out of order. The Pjost
abnormal peculiarity he presented was
refusing all invitations to drink.
Unless WaUaok’a Theatre, when it
opens for the regular season next week,
gives us something good, the theatrical
outlook is not promising. “Tin Artist’s
Daughter,” at the Union Square Theatre,
is generally considered a failure, and i>a
lp’s new adaptation from th ■> German,
“A Wooden Spoon,” is too farcical tor a
comedy. It is certainly too muen of even
a good thing to have three theatres at
once given up to long-drawn-out farces
such as ‘A Wooden Spoon’ and the two ver
sions of the “Secretary,” especially when
two others are devoted to plays of the
Black Crook variety. Italian opera, how
ever, takes the play of “Sieba” at the Star
Theatre in less than a fortnight, and there
is the spring season to look forward to.
D.
AN EXODUS OF NEGROES.
Trains for the River Counties of Ohio
and West Virginia Filled With Them.
Guests leaving this and other mountain
resorts, says a White Sulphur Springs
special of Oct. 8, have viewed with grow
ing wonder during the past week the
rows of dusky faces that fill the windows
of trains bound westward. The faces be
long to men. It is rare that a woman or
child is seen among them. So large is the
exodus that separate smoking cars lor
white persons are called into requsition
lor nearly every train, by night as well as
by day. "Train men report that similar
phenomena are observable at Charleston,
where the river division of the Ohio Cen
tral terminates; at Ashland, from which
the Scioto V alley Road runs to Columbus,
and at Lexington, where the Cincinnati
Southern abuts the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Each car is under the charge of a Cap
tain.
Where these excursionists are going, at
whose expense—clearly not their own—or
for what, is something of a mystery. They
are without traps, except what they wear,
and talk of their homes in Virginia as
though they were to be away but a short
time. Each car load is made up of ac
quaintances, and they make a jolly trip
of it. Such allusions to politics as crop
out in their talk are involuntary and are
quickly smothered, the captain of each
car being very alert for transgressions in
this line. The men answer no questions
as to their destination, but their talk
turns frequently to speculations on the
kind of people they will find “along the
river.” The river, of course, is the Ohio,
and the people “along It” will vote in the
State of that name and in West Virginia.
The river counties of both States contain
so many negroes that they offer unusual
openings for a brisk smuggling trade in
persons of that complexion. If there is
any disposition to colonize for election
purposes it can be done along the river
counties with less expense and less
danger than in the interior of either State.
The excursions have been in progress
through this State tor about a week.
During the week remaining before elec
tion, if the Scioto Valley and Cincinnati
Southern shall do as well as the Chesa
peake and Ohio is doing, 5,000 voters can
easily be laid along the river counties of
the two States. One-half of that number
would give this State to the Republicans,
unless expectations of gains from the
Greenbackers are mistaken; while the
other half would probably be quite as
heavy a quota as Ohio could stand from
the South and as large as would be needed,
considering the fertility of Indiana, Penn
sylvania and New York for such enter
prises.
CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.
A Statement That 63,315 Republicans
are Pledged to Vote for the Democratic
Candidate.
Secretary Post has returned to the city,
says the Washington Star of Oct. TO, and
was at Democratic headquarters to-day.
He met with a most glowing reception in
his district, and says he has heard noth
ing but good Democratic news since he
has been away. He says that while on
the train coming here he met one of the
most prominent Republicans of Frank
Hiscock’s district in New York, a busi
ness man who employs many men, who
told him that New York was as sure as
any State in the Union to go for Grover
Cleveland. He was a man who has
always been a Republican; was a dele
gate to the Republican convention at
Chicago, and says he never voted
any but the " straight Repub
lican ticket in his life. He took from
his pocket a private slip, upon which it
was stated that the “undersigned, a Re
publican,” pledged himself to vote for
and support Grover Cleveland for the
Presidency. These slips, he said, were
prepared by the Republicans who were
organized to support Cleveland, and were
used as pledges by Republicans who
wished to bind themselves to vote for
Cleveland. He said that in his election
precinct, which always gives a Republi
lican majority of over 80, he had gotten
42 of those slips signed by leading Repub
licans and sent them to the Independent
Republican headquarters in New York,
and he knew of 16 more men who
had not yet signed the pledge, but
who would vote for Cleveland, fie told
Mr. Post that the Independent Republi
cans had thousands of those slips circu
lated throughout the State, and were
making the poll in that way. Ten days
ago, he said, when he sent in his last
batch of pledges, the Secretary of the
commitee wrote him a letter saying tnat
up to that time tney had received 63,215
pledges of tne kind from all parts of the
State, and they were still coming in. He
said, also, that it was not the followers of
Curtis who were most bitterly opposed to
Blaine, but the stalwarts, who two years
ago had been told that Cleveland was a
good enough man to beat Folger, and wib
now thought him a good enough man to
beat Blaine.
GRAVE ROBBERIES IN OHIO.
Wholesale Desecration Discovered in
the Cemeteries Around Jonestown.
In the past five years, says a Jonestown
(O.) special of Oct. 8, fully 100 graves in
Wood county have been rifled by ghouls,
the facilities for reaching Columbus, Cin
cinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and Ann Ar
bor and the sparseness of the population
affording peculiar opportunities for carry
ing on the nefarious business. Several
time efforts to catch the ghouls were
made, but proved unsuccessful except in
one case in Delaware county, where, at
least, one man was sent up for three
years, with the additional punishment of
$1,003 fine. About six months ago
tremendous excitement was created
by the discovery of four or five
rifled graves at Baydor. An organ
ized effort to stop the desecration was
then determined upon, and a detective
was employed, who is still at work, but
so far without result. The excitement
had abated to a considerable extent, when
last Friday the grave of Miss Dyer, at
Fostoria, was discovered to have been
robbed, and this was followed by a rumor
that the ghouls were at work at Jones
town. Two fresh graves in the village
cemetery were examined and found
empty, the bodies taken being those of
Henry Snyder and Maria Jacobs, both
middle-aged people.
To satisfy curiosity and to remove
doubts more than twenty graves of per
sons buried within two years were opened
and eleven were found empty. The dis
covery has ereated a profound sensation.
Several families of those interested are
prostrated, and one death, at least, is
Erobable. Other towns in this neighbor
ood also report many graves robbed.
WHY MRS. PARNELL OPPOSES
BLAINE.
“We Don’t Want Corruption in Public
Office, and We Do Want Honest Gov
ernment.”
Mrs. Parnell to-day prevented the State
Woman’s Suffrage Convention from in
dorsing Blaine, says a Buffalo special of
Oct. 8 to the New York World. The cor
rospondent afterwards asked hert
“What decided you to support Cleve
land?”
“Blaine,” was fhe answer, sharp, short
and laconic. “We don’t want corruption
in political office,” she continued, “and
we do want honest government. Those
are part of my reasons for supporting
Cleveland. Moreover, the Democratic
party has always been the party which
has been most friendly to the Irish and
which has done the most for them. Blaine
is fooling the Irish with promises of inter
ference or of measures which they
think will lead to trouble. That
is political clap-trap. He will do
nothing. Garfield, four years ago,
had vast plans which pleased the Irish
and made very decided promises of help.
Blaine was his first lieutenant. Looking
back, how could he have done anything
in ihose four years even had he lived.
B\aine will do no more; nor could he if be
would. I do not think the Irish vote for
i Blaine is going to be large. The few
Irishmen who are going for him are Re-
Sublicans, and have been for a long time.
Lany of them have had office from the
government. In my opinion the inde
pendent Republican vote will much more
than counteract it.
PAVING THE WAY FOR FRAUD
A Scheme to Clear the Path for
Fraudulent Ballot and a Fraudulent
Count.
The Dem'orats here, says a Chicago
special, thick they have discovered the
true reason for Butler’s candidacy, and
that the charge that he is acting in col
lusion with the Republicans is receiving
added proof every day. The latest and
strongest evidence is the course pursued
by the Republican State Central Commit
tee. The United States laws provide
for the appointment of Government
Supervisors of election by the United
States Marshals. The only restriction is
that the two to be appointed for each dis
trict shall l>e of different political parties.
The Republican State Central Committee
is making up a list of names for recom
mendation to that important position. It
does not recognize the Democratic party
at all in the matter, but is making two
complete lists, one Republican and one
Butlerite, for each district. As “Long”
Jones is both United States Marshal and
Chairman of the State Central Committee
it is to be presumed he will make the ap
pointments as recommended.
There is a shrewd suspicion that Uni
ted States Marshals who are not chair
men of State committees will be called on
elsewhere to do a like favor for the G. O.
P., and thereby shut out the Democratic
party all over the country from having
any supervisors ot election in their behalf
at the polls.
Sister Grimes’ Mistake.
Tribune-Republican.
Sister Grimes, after hearing the an
nouncement from the pulpit of the annual
camp meeting, at once determined to go.
“Ef the weather parmits,” said she to
her friend, Miss Simpkins, “and Provi
dence is willin’, 1 shall go an’ stay
through the meetin’.”
Accordingly the ancient hair trunk was
packed and Sister Grimes 6et out. The
first, few mileß were uneventful, and were
passed in counting the telegraph poles and
musing upon the infinite. Suddenly a
change came over the spirit of her dreams.
She sat upright with a startled expres
sion, which soon changed to one of indig
nation. Suddenly sue faced about, and
addressing a mild-looking man with a
white necktie, who sat behind her, in
quired in a voice of terror:
“What do you mean by insulting me in
this manner?”
“Indeed, madam—”
“You needn’t ‘indeed, madam,’ me.
You know you did it and you needn’t deny
it, you sanctimonious old hypocrite.”
“Pray, excuse me, madame, but—”
“I won’t excuse you, you reprobate.”
“ What is the matter, madam ?” inquir
ed the conductor, who was attracted by
Miss Grimes’ indignant tones.
“Why, this old sinner has been insult
ing me.”
“What has he done, madam?’ 4
“He has—well, he has been pinching
my ank—that is, my feet.”
“Madam,” said the solemn-looking
man, “what a monstrous fabrication.”
“Suppose you arise for a moment,”
suggested the conductor.
“There, he’s just done it again,”
screamed Sister Grimes.
“Bless my soul!” ejaculated the ac
cused.
Sister Grimes leaped from her seat to
the aisle, with fire iu her eye, and the con
ductor pulled from beneath the seat a
large bag, from a hole in which protruded
the head ot a large game cock, glaring
fiercely about and lunging with his power
ful beak at whatever lay near.
“Madam,” said the solemn-looking man,
“you see it was your own wretched bird
that has done the mischief. You have
accused an innocent man of a heinous
offense, while you, yourself, are on your
way to attend a cock fight. Thus it is
that Satan betrays his followers.”
A Pittsburg dispatch says a meeting
will be held in that city next Wednesday,
Oct. 15, which will w<#k the completion
of the preliminary arrangement ot one of
the most important railway projects of
the decade —the construction of an air line
over 1,200 miles long to connect New York
with Chicago, Council Bluffs, la., and St.
Louis. Mo. The idea of constructing such
a line was conceived over a year ago by a
number of prominent gentlemen, includ
