WILD WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Chicago Scenes Repeated In the Acade

Commends the Candidates to the
Friends of Good Government.
N KW York ,Oct. 16.—Gov. Cleveland left
Albany on the 6:30 o’clock train this morn
ing, accompanied by Col. Daniel Lamont,
his private secretary, and Mayor Banks,
of Albany. It was the express wish of
Ihe Governor that no demonstration
should be made in his honor along the
route. At Poughkeepsie, however, the
crowd was so large and enthusiastic that
he was induced to show himself to the as
semblage, and for five minutes he shook
hands with all those who could reach
him. At this point Senator and Mrs.
Newbold boarded the train, and the
Governor chatted pleasantly with
Mr. Newbold until Garrison’s was
reached. Here Hamilton Fish got on
board the train and entered the car occu
pied by the Governor. They greeted each
other cordially and conversed together
until the arrival of their train at the
Grand Central Depot, New York, at about
10:30 o’clock a. m. A committee com
posed of Senator Barnum, Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
Abram 8. Hewitt, Senator Gorman, of
Maryland. ex-Mayor Grace, Senator
Gwynne, D. R. James, C. D. Campbell,
H. B. Lighter, J. B. Coleman, Eugene
Kelly, and Messrs Green and Vander
poel, met the Governor at the depot and
after an exchange of greetings escorted
him to a carriage, which he entered in
company with Senator Barnum and Col.
Lamont. The other members of the com
mittee also entered carriages and fol
lowed that of the Governor.
KNTHCSIASTIC CROWDS.
Large crowds had assembled outside,
and when the Governor made his appear
ance cheers were given, which were con
tinued until the carria.es departed.
Large numbers of men rushed toward the
Governor and held out their hands, which
he smilingly grasped. Several times after
the carriage had started the driver was
ordered to stop the horses so that the
Governor could satisfy the desires of those
who wished to shake his hand. The party
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel at 10:45
o'clock, and the carriages were driven to
the Twenty-third street entrance, where
Gov. Cleveland alighted and immediately
proceeded to rooms on the third floor.
Quite a crowd was gathered outside the
hotel and gave hearty cheers on the arri
val ot the Democratic candidate. The
looms of the Governor were immediately
besieged by politicians and reporters, who
were anxious to get a word from him or
his secretary, but Mr. Cleveland remain
ed in bis private room, to which only a
select few could gain access.
Gov. Cleveland appeared to be in good
health and was not at all fatigued by the
journey.
TIIK GOVERNOR’S CALLERS.
Gov. Cleveland to-day received visitors
up to 5 o’clock. Juliet Clayton, a little
miss from Florida, said, when presented,
that she was glad to meet the next Presi
dent, and ex-Mayor Grace’s son, a lad 9
years old, saluted the Governor with,
‘•How do do, Mr. President?” Many local
politicians called. Col. J. Kingman I’age,
who was Franklin Pierce’s private secre
tary, introduced his wife and daughter.
A united delegation from the Pro
duce, Stock, Cotton, coffee, Petro
leum, Mining, Grocers and Dry
Goods Exchanges invited Gov. Cleve
land, through their Chairman, John P.
Townsend, of the Produce Exchange, to
be present at a business men’s meeting in
the evening. The Governor accepted the
invitation. Thomas Hanland presented
the Governor with a silver watch made by
his ( llinland's) grandfather in Norwich,
Conn., in 1790, when Mr. Cleveland’s
grandfather was an apprentice in a shop
in which the watch was afterwards re
paired by the Governor’s grandfather
when he superseded Mr. Hanland as pro
prietor. The repair marks were visible
on the case of the watch. Gov. Cleveland
was much pleased with the gift, thanked
Mr. Hanland cordially, and asked him to
write out a sketch of the history of the
time-piece.
THE BUSINESS MEN’S MEETING.
The business men’s meeting at the
Academy of Music was a complete suc
cess. The building was jammed within
ten minutes from the time of the opening.
Thousands upon thousands of people
gathered in the vicinity of the building to
get a glimpse of Gov. Cleveland, who was
expected. The usual pyrotechnic display
on a magnificent scale was held in the
adjacent streets, and the auditorium was
tastefully decorated with flowers and
bunting. Cheers for Cleveland and
Hendricks were heard on all sides,
the crowds being particularly de
monstrative and enthusiastic. The stage
was crowded with delegations from
the various exchanges. Ex-Mayor
Grace presided, and speeches were made
by Gov. Waller, of Connecticut, and H.
W. Beecher.
During the speech of the latter Gov.
Cleveland was announced. His recep
tion beggars description. Every person
in the vast crowd rose to his feet and
cheered and waved his handkerchief or
hat as though out of his senses. Mr.
Beecher appeared to be greatly affected
by the enthusiasm. Gov. Cleveland came
to the front of the stage and made several
attempts to speak.
CLEVELAND’S SPEECH.
He was not allowed to proceed for five
minutes. At last he said:
Laities and I thank you for this
kind reception, and I am sure it is a cause for
congratulation that so many ot the business
men of this great metropolis have found rea
sou in the pending political struggle for a
united and earnest’effort. It has been my
firm belief that one reason why we, as a peo
ple, do not enjoy to the utmost, the advan
tages of our form of government, is found in
the fact that our business men are apt to neg
lect their political duties. The idea is
too common among them that there
is heroism and virtue in refusing to hold of
fice, and a stern denial of any interest in poli
tics scents to be regarded "by many of this
class as the best assertion of their private
virtue and business integrity. The protection
ami 6afetyof the interests they have in charge
are closely connected with a wise adminis
tration of the government, and it has always
seemed to me that if regard for their position
as citizens did not impel them to take more
active interest in political affairs, the de
sire and need of self preservation would
do so. I believe, too, that the best
administration of the government is
accomplished when it is conducted on busi
ness principles, and it is quite apparent that
the active participation of our business men
in the political campaigns is an effective mode
of impressing these principles on the manage
ment of public affairs. 1 construe this large
aud enthusiastic meeting and the determina
tion on the part of the business men from
which it hau rise as a promise of a time when
they shall find the path of duty as well as in
terest in practical and intelligent interfer
ence with political questions and issues.
Uproarous applause punctuated the
Governor’s speech at every period. The
cheers were deafening.
A LETTER FROM TILDEN.
A letter was read from Samuel J. Til
den regretting that his health prevented
his attendance. He says:
I remember gratefully that when it yfas my
duty as Governor to engage in a grapsfle with
the canal ring, which then swayed an the ad
ministrative, legislative and judicial depart
ments of the State, that a majoritv of the
local organizations of the Democratic party,
and of the organizations of the Republican
party at the New York Produce Ex
change, rallied to my support and
si oo*i by me until the ring was
overthrown. I cordially concur in vonr opinion
that the election of Cleveland and Hendricks
is demanded by the best interests of the coun
try. I believc that their election will be a
substantial victory for the cause of good gov
ernment, that it will assure us ot a safe and
prudent administration of the Chief Magis
tracy of the republic in our relations
with other countries, that it will
restore simplicity and economy and
the needs of the Federal Government, so far
as that result depends upon the executive, for
it will give business men immunity from sud
den changes of policy, and enable them to re
pose under the shelter of a stable administra
tive evstem free from favoritism to particular
classes and interests, aud from the injurious
fluctuations to which such favoritism and
sudden changes always lead.

THE TRIP TO THE MEETING.
Gov. Cleveland was escorted from the
Fifth Avemie Hotel to the Academy by
the committee of members of the different
exchanges. He was cheered all along the
route. The crowd almost prevented the
passage of the carriages. Such a crush
is rarely seen even in New York. On his
return to the hotel the Governor was
visited by John Kelly, Geh. Spinola and
Senator Cullen of Tammany Hall. Mr.
Kellv assured him of the sincere support
of Tammany. The Governor afterwards
reviewed from a porch a profession from
the Fourteenth and other districts, which
occupied over half an hour in passing.
Blaine at Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 15.— Blaine
was accompanied by Gen. Fremont, who
will probably remain with him during
the entire trip in Michigan. He spends
to-night at Grand Rapids.
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1884.
THE BOYCOTTED RAILROAD.
Express Companies Imitate the Action
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and are
Enjoined.
Baltimore, Oct. 15.—Judge Morris,
sitting as Circuit Judge this morning,
granted a restraining order in the case of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany against the Adams Express Com
pany and its servants and agents in Bal
timore, from refusing to accept such ex
press parcels as might be delivered by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany in the usual course of busi
ness, and requiring it to pay
“advance charges” according to the use
and custom between express companies,
and requiring the Adams Express Com
pany to accord all express facilities to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and the Baltimore and Ohio Express
Company. Similar injunctions have been
issued to-day by Judge Brown, acting as
Associate Judge, in New York, against
the Adams Express Company, the Amer
ican Express Company, and the United
States Express Company. A similar in
junction has also been issued in Cincin
nati by Judge Baxter against those com
panies. The bill of complaint filed this
morning in the United States Court
in Baltimore alleges that it
is the usage and custom
for an express company to receive from
connecting companies parcels of express
matter and pay accrued charges and
transmit the same to the point of destina
tion. The bill also alleges that the three
companies named hare made an agree
ment to deny on Oct. 15 to the Baltimore
and Ohio Express Company this facility,
while they still extend it to each other.
Notices have also been received by the
express department from all points in the
country that on this date there would be
a general refusal by all agents of these
facilities to tbe Baltimore and Ohio
Express company. One of these exhibits
filed was a telegram from the general
agent in New York, which stated that W.
Hoey, Superintendent of the Adams Ex
press Company, had said that the action
of the express company in refusing to
“carry the charges” and make transfers
was done In accordance with the action
ot the Pennsylvania Railroad. They have
been advised of what was to be done, and
took united action. The restraining order
granted by Judge Morris is to remain in
force till Nov. 5, and was issued without
the requirement of a bond.
FAILURES IN BUSINESS.
The Number Yesterday Unusually Large
and the Liabilities Heavy.
Providence, Oct. 15.—James Legg &
Cos., owners of the Maple mills at Bur
rille, makers of fancy cassimeres, have
made an assignment to Joseph Fifield.
The firm declines to make a statement for
publication at present. Dun’s agency
estimates the Worcester property to be
worth from $150,000 to $200,000, and tbe
liabilities about $500,000, including mort
gages, mainly held in Boston. Other esti
mates from private sources are that the
liabilities will not exceed $300,000. The
Blackstone and Traders’ Banks in this
city are said to hold some of tbe firm’s
paper, but the amount is not known.
The firm has done business under differ
ent names lor 20 years or more, and has
an extensive establishment in the village
of Mapleville. In 1881 James Legg, Jr.,
purchased the mill in Worcester of the
Adriatic mill for $90,000, mortgaging it
for $85,000 to J allies Legg & Cos. Both
mill and machinery were out of repair,
and after expending a considerable sum
for new machinery another mortgage for
$15,000 was taken by Jordan, March & Cos.
The property of the firm of James Legg*
Cos., at Mapleville, is understood to be
mortgaged for $40,000 to the Woonsocket
Institution for savings. In 1879 the pre
vious firm failed for SBO,OOO, chiefly on ac
count of drafts accepted on account of
the commission bouse of Whittemore,
l’eet, Po6t & Cos., of New York. This
amount was paid in time. In 1883 the
Arm declined to make a statement of its
affairs to the Commercial Agency, and as
it was considered to be involved by the
failure of Geo. Legg fc Cos. the preceding
May, its credit was injured.
woolen dealers closed.
Chicago, Oct. 15.—Heidmeyer &
Steiglitz, wholesale dealers in woolens,
were closed by the Sheriff to-day to satisfy
a judgment by confession amounting to
$75,000.
The liabilities of Heidmeyer & Steiglitz
will probably reach $150,000. The assets,
it is said, will not exceed half that
amount. The firm was an old one.
TWO ASSIGNMENTS AT AUGUSTA.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 15.—1. Silver &
Cos., dealers in clothing, have made an as
signment to B. F. Kohler. The liabilities
are $36,000, and the assets in stock and
accounts nominally $39,000.
James G. Bailie & Sons, dealers in car
pets and groceries, to-day made an assign
ment to John Tilkey. The liabilities are
$75,000. The assets in stock, accounts and
real estate equal SBO,OOO nominally.
A chair company fails.
The Novelty Chair Company of Evans
ville, Ind., has failed and a receiver has
been appointed.
A PUBLISHING FIRM SUSPENDS.
Toronto, Oct. 15.—James Campbell St
Sons, publishers, have suspended. Their
liabilities are said to be heavy. They are
rated at between $40,000 and $75,000. The
Merchants’ Bank is the principal cred
itor.
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS.
Tlie People’s Party Have a Lively Time
In the Eighth Massachusetts District.
Washington, Oct. 16.— The People’s
party’s Congressional Convention for the
Eighth Massachusetts district convened
to-day. Tho leaders of the Lowell dele
gation advocated fusion with the Demo
crats on Charles 8. Lilley, and there were
open threats of desertion if Lilley was not
nominated. After considerable discus
sion an informal ballot was taken, which
resulted in Lilley getting 25 and Hiram
W. Eastman, of Lawrence, 54 votes. A
motion to make the ballot formal was
then carried. The convention adjourned
in great confusion. The Lilley men
openly threatened to bolt the ticket.
The’Democratic Convention of tho Third
Congressional district of New Jersey was
to-day very disorderly. Judge Robert S.
Green, of Elizabeth, who received the
nomination two weeks ago and refused it
because of a bolt made by the supporters
of William McMahon, received the nomi
nation again on the first ballot. Motions
to make the nomination unanimous and
by acclamation were voted down, ana Mc-
Mahon’s supporters left the hall cheeriDg
for Congressman Kean, the Republican
candidate.
The People’s party in Massachusetts in
the First district nominated Dr. Timothy
D. Stow, in the Ninth Henry L. Emmons,
in the Eleventh Dr. James Oliver, and in
the Seventh John J. Baker.
The Prohibitionists of the Seventh dis
trict of Massachusetts to-day nominated
Dr. D. J. Robinson.
The Republicans of the First New Jer
sey district to-day nominated Lewis A.
Brigham.
The Republicans of the Second Louisi
ana district to*day nominated ex-Gov.
Michael Hahn, vice Mr. Herwig, declined.
The Sixth district of Massachusetts
Congressional Convention ol the People’s
party to-night nominated by acclamation
Congressman Henry B. Lovering, the
Democratic candidate, for Congress.
Dudley Now Going to Indiana.
Washington, Oct. 15.—W. W. Dudley,
Commissioner of Pensions, returned here
to-day from Ohio. He did not come back
to resume the duties of his office. After
attending to some private business he
will go directly to Indiana, where he will
use the same methods as he employed In
Ohio, with a view to a similar result.
The President to-day referred the letter of
Everett P. Wheeler, counsel ot the Civil
Service Reform Association, complaining
of Commissioner Dudley’s conduct in
Ohio, to the Secretary of the Interior for
investigation and report. Mr. Dudley
smiled when he heard of the proposed
investigation. He does not think it will
amount to much.
Vermont’s Prohibitionists.
Montpelier, Vt., Oct. 15.—The Ver
mont Prohibitionists met in convention
here this afternoon, with 250 delegates
present. The committee on resolutions
reported resolutions declaring that the
Prohibitionists had nothing to hope for
from either the Republican or Democratic
party on this Issue, and therefore indorsed
St. John and Daniel. Electors were
chosen and a State committee of one from
each county was appointed.
The County Democracy,
New York, Oct. 15.—The County
Democracy and Independent Democrats
met to hold a County Convention this
afternoon, but made no nominations.
Each organization appointed a committee
to confer with the other Democratic
bodies who had not yet named tickets.
VICTORY OUT OF DEFEAT.
THE REPUBLICAN PLURALITY
IN OHIO ONLY 12,000.
Ten Congressmen Elected by Each
Party and One District Still in Doubt
at Last Accounts—Frank Hard Among
the Defeated Candidates—Republicans
go Wild Over the First Exaggerated
Reports.
Cincinnati, Oct. 15.—Both the Dem
ocratic and Republican press this morn
ing agreed that yesterday’s election in
Cincinnati was the bloodiest ever held
here. Democratic papers assert that
Deputy Marshals were employed mainly
In intimidating honest voters, while the
Republican press construes the conduct
of the police force and Deputy Sheriffs in
a similar manner, comparing it to Mis
sissippi politics.
The Republicans this morning claimed
a majority of 20,000 in the State, and the
Democrats concede 10,000.
The following Republican Congress
men are elected:
First district—Benjamin Butterworth.
Second district—Charles E. Brown.
Fourth district—John F. Sinks.
Eighth district—Joiyj Little.
Ninth district—W. C. Cooper.
Eleventh district—Alpiicnso Hart.
Twelfth district—Albert C. Thompson.

Eighteenth district—l. H. Taylor.
Nineteenth district—Ezra B. Tavlor.
Twentieth district—William McKinley.
The following Democratic Congressmen
are elected;

Sixth district—YY. D. Hill.
Seventh district—George E. Seney.
Thirteenth district—Joseph Outhwaite.
Fifteenth district—Beriah Wilkins.
Sixteenth district—George W. Geddes.
Twenty-iirst district—M. A. Foran.
The Third district is close and doubtful.
In the Tenth district the chances are in
favor of Romeis ( Rep.).
HAMILTON COUNTY’S VOTE.
In Hamilton county 96 out of the 108
precincts give the following Republican
majorities on the State ticket: Secretary
of State, James W. Robinson, 2,262";
Judge of the Supreme Court, William
Johnston, 2,435; member of the Board of
Public Works, Leo Flickinger, 3,036; Con
gressional ticket—First district, Benja
min Butterworth 1,5C0; Second district—
Cnarles E. Brown 2,078. County ticket—
Shelriff, Samuel Beresford 4,968; Probate
Judge, P. P. Goebel 2,282; County Solic
itor, Rufus B. Smith 3,464; Coroner, A.
I*. Carrick 3,051; Commissioner, John
Zumstein 3,943; member of the Board of
Control, Morris Bauer 4,205. The re
maining twelve precincts will not mate
rially alter these majorities, which are all
Republican. Beresford, for Sheriff, ran
ahead of his ticket, as did ail the county
officers, compared with the candidates on
the State ticket. Three of the Republican
candidates on the judical ticket, Peter
Suring, J. M. Smith and Joseph Cox were
also elected.
UNOFFICIAL TOTAL RETURNS.
The total unofficial returns from Hamil
ton county, received this morning, show
the following pluralities on the State ana
Congressional ticket: Robinson, Rep., for
Secretary of State, 2,258; Johnson, Rep.,
for Judge of the Supreme Court, 2,557;
Flickinger, Rep., for the Board of Pub
lic Works, 3,147; Butterworth, Rep., in
the First district, for Congress, 1,526;
Brown, Itep., in the Second district, for
Congress, 2,087. The Greenback State
ticket averaged 97. The Prohibition vote
averaged 84. The total vote in the county
was 72,075.
PARTY LINES RIGIDLY DRAWN.
The returns received from all parts of
the State are uniform in showing an in
creased vote. In many places the in
crease Is very marked. Another feature
shows that the people were more than or
dinarily arrayed in the two great parties.
Bott the Greenback and Prohibition par
ties were comparatively insignificant,and
the vote was as distinctly marked as If a
Presidential ticket had been before the
people. A matter of great surprise is the
large vote received by the Republican
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court.
There was a general belief that he Would
fall far below the rest of the ticket, owing
to the disaffection among saloon men oil
account of his opinion on the Scott liquor
law; but contrary to expectation he ran
with the rest of the ticket, and in Hamil
ton county his vote is greater than that
for Robinson. Clarke county, it is esti
mated, will give 2,300 Republican ma
jority and Sciota county about 700, with
Judge Johnson leading the ticket.
Athens county gives Grosvenor, Rep.,
for Congress 1,600 majority. Bellaire
shows a slight Democratic gain. Galien,
Kent, Coshocton, Lancaster, Mansfield
and Somerset counties also show small
Democratic gains. The Republicans are
jubilant. Crowds are upon the streets,
and upon the least provocation shout and
sing. A wagon appeared with a hand or
gan and a flag ana was followed by a
crowd of shouting people. The appear
ance of Ben Butterworth, Congressman
elect from the First district, near the
post office, attracted a large crowd. He
was lifted up and carried some distance
by his enthusiastic supporters. He was
followed by a cheering throng until he
left the street.
Unofficial reports from the Third district
elect Campbell, Dem., to Congress over
Morey, Rep., by a majority of 411.
Coshocton county complete, 22 pre
cincts (unofficially), gives Robinson a net
gain of 26, reducing last year’s Demo
cratic majority to 710. Johnson and
Flickinger ran ahead of Robinson.
WOUNDED IN THE BATTLE.
The following is a list of the persons
injured in last night’s various disturb
ances: Joe Lawrey, shot in the spine;
J. J. Hughes, struck in the breast with a
stone and dangerously wounded; John
Murphy, shot in the stomach, flesh
wound; Andrew Bennet (colored), shot
in the side, not dangerous; John Dalton,
shot in the leg, not serious; Sam Taylor
(colored), shot iu the side, serious; Mike
Gorman (policeman), shot in the back,
dangerous; Henry Sherlock ( policeman),
shot in the back, dangerous; Henry
Brown (colored), shot in the abdomen.
The last three were wcunded iu an affray
at the corner of Sixth and Freeman streets
late last night. Between 50 and 100 per
sons took part in the fight, which grew
out of an attempt by officer Gorman to
arrest a negro. Gorman was shot in the
back by some unknown person, and a fu
silade ensued, 100 shots being fired. The
riot alarm sounded, and the disturbance
was quelled after two policemen and
Brown had been shot. Besides those in
jured, Albert Russell (colored) was killed.
UNIVERSAL INTEREST.
Columbus, Oct. 15.—The interest in tbe
election had not abated in the least this
morning. The streets were crowded all
last night and this morning. Business
men are discussing tbe result in a most
animated manner. Nothing has been re
ceived to change the estimates made last
night. Complete returns have been re
ceived from twenty counties. The reports
were never so prompt before. This indi
cates that there were but few scratched
tickets. A great deal of mystery sur
rounds the Prohibition vote, and UDon
this and the withholding of reports from
a few counties the Democrats base a
hope of cutting down tbe Republican
majority below 15,000. The contest lor
Congressman in the Third district is very
close, but as Morey, the Republican can
didate, runs ahead of his ticket 132 votes
in Clermont county, which makes a
change of over 500 votes in favor of the
Republicans, bis friends claim his elec
tion. The indications are that Johnson,
the Republican candidate lor Supreme
Court Judge, has a majority of 3.000 in
Hamilton county, and that he has run
ahead of tbe other candidates, notwith
standing the opposition of the liquor in
terest. If this is confirmed it will show
that the temperance Democrats scratched
their own candidate and voted for John
son.
THE RETURNS CONSOLIDATED.
Columbus, Oct. 16. 3a. m.—The un
official Republican returns have been re
ceived from all the counties of Ohio ex
cept the five following: Carroll, Geauga,

counties Show the following unofficial Re
publican majorities on the State ticket:
Ashtabula 4,343, Athens 1,600, Belmont
270, Champaign 1,044, Clarke 2,000,

mit 1.700, Union 1,187, VanjWert 200, War
ren 1,745, Washington 106, Wood 600,
total 45,119. The following counties give
Democratic majorities: Adams 77,
Alien 1,263, Ashland 760, An-
glais 2,000, Brown 1,100, Butler
2,850, Coshocton 710, Crawford 2,213,
Darke 1,222, Defiance 1,100, Erie 904, Fair

dusky 667, Seneca 1,215. Shelby 1,228,
Stark 250, Tuscarawas 1,000, Y inton 188,
Wayne 426, Williams 97, Wyandotte 752,
total 41,508. Adding to the above the ma
jorities of 1883 in the five counties not
heard from gives a net Republican plu
rality of 10,679. The five counties will
probably increase the majorities of 1883
so that the plurality will reach about
12,000. Republican Congressmen have
been elected in the First, Second, Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Fourteenth,
Eighteenth, Ninteenth, and Twentieth
districts, a total of 10. Democratic Con
gressmen have been elected in the Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Thirteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Twenty-first districts, a total of 10. The
Eleventh district is still in doubt.

sinks’ success.
Dayton, Oct. 15.—J. F. Sinks, Repub
lican, is elected to Congress from this
(Fourth) district by 150 majority. Mont
gomery county, the returns from which
are ail in, gives 595 Democratic majority
for the State ticket, a Republican gain of
170. The Republicans elected their Sheriff,
Mr. YVeir. The Republican Circuit Judges
in the Second district are elected by 3,500
majority. The citizens were wild in their
demonstrations, and bonfires were lighted
and the roar of cannon and music dis
turbed peaceful slumbers.
THE INTEREST at WASHINGTON
Washington, Oct. 15.—The excited
and uneasy feeling which was prevalent
throughout each of the departments of
the government while the clerks were
awaiting the results of the Ohio election,
has to-day given place to great satisfac
tion among the thousand government em
ployes in Washington, and routine busi
ness is proceeding as quietly as usual.
A number of prominent officials are still
absent from the city, however, and many
clerks are already arranging for leaves ot
absence to go home to vote at the Presi
dential election. Political matters, there
fore, still continue to attract attention on
all hands, and although to-day there is no
appearance [of excitement, the Novem
ber election is manifestly the uppermost
subject of interest.
Department clerks and especially the
ringsters have been hilarious all day over
the Ohio returns. Early in the day they
were informed from Columbus that the
State had gone 30,000. This was too much
for many of them, who thereupon sought
the flowing bowl. Commissioner Dudley
overpowered the “boys” by assuring them
that the result in Ohio had settled the
Presidential election, and a considerable
number of them who had not contributed
called at Mr. Clapp’s headquarters, paid
up and requested that their
names be recorded as financial
supporters of Blaine’s cause. Asa gene
ral thing the Federal officers and clerks
regard Blaine’s success as assured, but
some of the more far-sighted Republican
politicians here are at the newspaper
offices to-night awaiting official returns.
They are afraid that the majority may fall
considerably below the October majority
of 1880.
Private telegrams from Repub
licans in Cincinnati and Colum
bus received at midnight to-night
indicate that the Republican ma
jority in Ohio is cut down by the official
returns to between 10,000 and 12,000.
WEST VIRGINIA’S VICTORY.
The Democratic Majority Estimated at
Anywhere Between 5,000 and 10,000.
Wheeling, YV. Va., Oct. 15.—The Re
publican State Committee concede the
election of the entire Democratic State
ticket by from 3,000 to 5,000 majority.
Tbe official vote in Berkeley county gives
Flick for Supreme Judge 324 majority,
and Brown 11 majority. Maxwell carries
the county by 55 majority. The balance
of the Democratic ticket has a small ma
jority. The Democrats will have the
Sheriff, State’s Attorney, one member of
the House of Delegates "and one Assessor.
The Republicans elect one member of the
House of Delegates, one Assessor, Clerk
of the Court and Surveyor. Brooke coun
ty gives Wilson 04 majority, a Repub
lican gain of 36.
The following majorities have been re
ported to the Republican State Commit
tee: Lewis 79 Democratic majority, a
Republican gain of 66; Barbour 100 Demo
cratic majority, a Republican gain of 234;

lican gain of 36; Pleasant 143 Democratic
majority, a Republican gain of 201; Green
brier 650 Democratic majority, a Republi
can gain of 223; Fayette 175 Democratic
majority; Monroe 300 Democratic ma
jority.
The Republican majorities are: Berke
ley 55, a gain of 240; Marion 100, a gain
of 383; Preston 1,400, a vain of 403; Tav
lor 337, a gain of 161; Ritchie 508, a gain
of 276; Monongahela 800, a gain of 346.
Advices from Charleston, Kanawha
county, place Maxwell’s majority at
1,100, the entire Republican county ticket
being elected by majorities varying from
600 to 1,200. Six out of nine voting
places in Tyler county give Maxwell 236
majority. The other three to be heard
from will increase it to 2,300.
In Marion county the Democrats elect
their full county ticket except for the
Legislature and Prosecuting Attorney bv
majorities ranging from I,ooodown to 150.
Taylor county gives Maxwell 337 major
ity, a Republican gain of 150, and elects
the entire Republican county ticket. Ohio
county, with one precinct to hear from,
shows Wilson’s majority to be 288, and
the entire Democratic county ticket is
elected.
THIS COUNTRY AND THE CONGO.
England’s Demands to bn Supported by
the American Representatives.
London, Oct. 15.—Tho Standard’s
Vienna correspondent states that one of
the American Ministers now stationed on
the Continent and versed on the Congo
question, writes that the American Gov
ernment will certainly accept the invita
tion of Prince Bismarck to participate in
the coming conference upon the Congo
country at’Berlin, and that America will
give full support to England and freedom
of commerce. The writer says that their
interests being identical, any attempt to
baffle English enterprise will find no sup
port from Americans.
It is announced that Prince Bismarck
has acceded to the demands made by
Earl Granville that the business to be
considered by the projected Congo con
ference shall be limited to the regulation
of the commerce of nations with the
Congo country. Communications which
have passed between the governments at
Berlin and Paris show that the French
Government insists that the trade ol the
Niger river and country shall be also con
sidered by the conference.
NO STEAMER WRECKED.
Natives Put a Milder Coloring on the
Reported Manaacre on the Nile.
Cairo, Oct. 15.—The Egyptian Minis
try have revoked the order of suspension
of payments to the sinking fund, and have
ordered a resumption of the payment of
railway and telegraph revenues to the
Caisse de la Dette Publique, to begin to
day, and the resumption of payment of
other revenues on Oct. 20.
NO STEAMER wrecked.
A native, who has arrived at Wady
Haifa from El Obeid, by way of Mora wee,
reports that no 6teamer has been wrecked
but a dahabrich, the crew of which was
murdered within a day’s march of friend
ly territory. A native reports that El
Madhi’s troops occupy the heights along
the Nile, north of Khartoum, and have
thrown broken telegraph wires across the
river.
ARTILLERY’S IRON HAIL.
CHINESE MOWED DOWN BY
HUNDREDS AT FORT CHU.
Gen. de Lisle Gives a Gtapbic Descrip
tion of the Recent Death Grapple
with the Legions of the Celestials—
The Chinese Eventually Beat a Pre
cipitous Retreat.
P aris, Oct. 16. —Gen. de Lisle tele
graphs from Chu on the Upper Loochuan
river, under date of Monday, as tollows:
“Col. Donnier, after a brilliant engage
ment on Friday, carried the heights com
manding the Fortress of Chu, forming the
Point de Auppi, of the large entrench
ment of the Chinese camp, which was de
fended tty five casemated forts. The
Chinese forces were very large. Their
losses during the engagement were heavy.
On Saturday they attempted to as
sume the offensive, but our artillery
strewed the ground with Chinese bodies.

New York Sun, Oct. IS.
About three weeks afro George C.
Brotherton, a well known Philadelphian,
met Mr. Charles Mitchell in Billy Mad
den’s Athletic Hall in Thirteenth street.
Conversation turned on the merits of Mr.
Dominick McCaffrey as a pugilist.
Brotherton finally offered Mitchell $1,200
it he would stand up before Mc-
Caffrey for four rounds with
soft gloves. Madden advised Mit
chell not to accept the offer. He said
that McCaffrey had done nothing to enti
tle him to the honor of such a contest,
and he wanted Mitchell to reserve him
self for Sullivan. The $1,200, however,
was too great a temptation for Mitchell.
He accepted Brotherton’s proposition,
modified by a proviso that Mitchell should
put up SSOO, to be forfeited if he failed to
put in an appearance. The $1,700 was put
into the hands of Harry Hill. It was a
pure speculation on the part of Brother
ton. McCaffrey was only too willing to
meet Mitchell. Brotherton hired Madison
Square Garden, and the match was set
down for last night, Brotherton taking
the receipts.
The battle was fought in Madison
Square Garden last night at 10 o’clock.
Between 6,000 and 6,000 persons were pre
sent, including the usual run ot states
men, dandies, pugilists and leg-biters.
Billy O’Brien stepped to the front, and
called loudly upon John McCormick, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, to act as referee.
McCormick sat at the reporters’ table,
near the ring, and doggedly shook his
head. There had been much trouble over
the selection of a referee, as much money
had been wagered on the fight. A score
of gentlemen gathered around McCormick
and urged him to accept the proffered
honor. He steadily refused to do so,
however, until Billy Madden said that he
would be entirely acceptable as a
referee to Mitchell and his friends.
Then he mounted the platform and
took his station outside the
ropes and near the steps leading to the
ring. Ed Plummer was chosen time
keeper. Bob Smith, who had been acting
as master of ceremonies, then stepped to
the centre of the ring. Madden, who had
been fanning Mitchell with a napkin,
ceased his attentions, and the English
man arose. “Gentlemen,” shouted Bob
Smith, “allow me to introduce to you Mr.
Charles Mitchell.” There were tumul
tuous cheers, and the Englishman bowed.
McCaffrey then threw off his gray woolen
shirt and advanced two steps from his
chair. Billy Edwards laid aside his palm
leaf and Lunt hung his napkin on a stake.
It was the first time that the spectators
had seen the American peeled. Murmurs
of admiration filled the hall, and finally
broke into peals of delight. He seemed
to be physical perfection personfled.
His thighs and legs indicated un
usual stamina, and his trunk,
shoulders and arms were the trunk,
shoulders, and arms of an Antinous.
“He looks as though drawn too fine,”
murmured Ned Mallahan. “In a four
round fight all that’s wanted is to work
the inside fat off and leave all the strength
in the legs.” Everybody, however, agreed
that both men were in magnificent condi
tion, and equally watched in size, weight,
height and appearance. The test was to
be on science and endurance. Both men
were smooth-shaven. Both had extreme
ly pleasing countenances. Mitchell looked
the older. His short, curling locks clus
tered above his temples, and gave him a
more manly expression of face. Mc-
Caffrey’s face was very boyish. He had
the complexion of a mountain milkmaid,
and a skin as white as the riven snow.
Every ipovement was graceful.
FIRST ROUND.
“Are you ready, gentlemen f” shouted
the referee. “Shake hands.”
Both men advanced to the middle of the
ring with smiling faces and gripped each
other’s hands.
“Time,” cried Plummer.
In a twinkling they were circling each
other with gyrating gloves. McCaffrey
guarded his breast with his left hand and
held his right well down. His thews and
sinews seemed made of rubber. There
was a breathless moment of suspense.
Then McCaffrey tapped the Englishman
lightly on the cheek and sprang away
with a cheery smile. Mitchell made a
rush lor him and they clinched. “Break,
break,” shouted the referee, and in
a second they were apart and facing each
other like hawks poised in the air. Sud
denly Mitchell lunged with his deadly
left auke and missed M He followed it with
a quick rush and touched the American’s
nose as he was springing away. It was
ashght as the tap of a lady’s fan. Mc-
Caffrey turned partly around to avoid the
ropes, and the Englishman was on him
again in a dead rush. They clinched like
the snap of a spring, locked so close that
fists were useless. “Break, break,” the
referee cried, and again they parted. A
season of cautious sparring followed. The
good humor had left Mitchell’s face, but
McCaffrey was smiling like a school
boy over a fall pippin. A second
time the Englishman made a
low lunge with his left, and failed
to reach. McCaffrey flew back
like a swallow at play. Mitchell followed
him up, and the American cheeked with
a right-handed blow under the ear. The
cheering was deafening. Mitchell looked
as though intent on mischief, and Mc-
Caffrey was smiling like a Brower House
masher. They were gathering themselves
together like game cocks'when little
Plummer called “Time!” and both men
went to their corners. It had been a
lively round, Mitchell forcing the fight
ing, and McCaffrey keeping away from
him with the prudence of an old and wary
professional. Altogether he had slightlv
the best of it. Billy Edwards was in
ecstasies, but Madden remained cool and
apparently unconcerned.
SECOND ROUND.
In the usual hurried sponging and rub
bing, the minute elapsed, and time was
called tor the second round. The Ameri
can was still smiling, as though engaged
in a frolic with a girl. Mitchell looked
earnestly wicked. lie sawed the air for
three seconds, and then made an infuri
ated rush for the American, catching him
around the waist in an effort to force the
fighting. McCaffrey wound his arms
around his neck, and they were “frozen”
like two billiard balls. “Break, break,”
cried the inexorable referee, and they
rolled apart, Mitchell shoving McCaffrey
in his eagerness to get awav. A third
time he lunged for the pit of McCaffrey's
stomach with his terrible left, and a third
time the boy sprang out of his reach.
Nay, more. He rallied and retaliated,
giving the Engiishmon another terrible
thump on his ear with his right. Ap
parently maddened by the blow,'Mitchell
forced the fighting. There were a
sharp rally and close fighting, the Eng
lishman getting the best of it. The boy
got away, but quickly assumed the offen
sive, leading twice for Mitchell’s noddle
and missing. He received a stunning
blow in the neck from Mitchell’s left.
The Englishman pressed his advantage,
and forced McCaffrey back until he
crashed against the post near the stairs.
The post cracked and bent, but did not
give way, thus saving the boy from fall
ing through the ropes and down the steps.
They were again clinched in a deadly con
test, when the referee shouted “Break 1”
They separated, but the Englishman gave
the boy no rest. He caught him on the
right ear and tapped him on the nose, lie
was making another ferooious rush when
the three minutes expired, and Plummer
called “Time.” It had been a well fought
round, with the advantage on the side of
the Englishman. McCaffrey was some
what blown, but Mitchell seemed as
strong as an ox.
THIRD ROUND.
The third round opened with the same
display of tactics as the first and second.
Mitchell, however, determinedly forced
the fighting. He acted as though he
thought he had the weather gauge of his
opponent. He drove him into a corner,
bending him over the ropes, and they
were again tightly clinched. At the
word they separated, and Mitchell a
fourth time lunged for the boy’s stomach
with his left. McCaffrey again sprang
away and gave the Englishman another
terrific right-hander under the right ear.
The vast hall resounded with cheers.
Mitchell made two separate rushes, and
got the worst of it. He could not trample
his antagonist under his feet. The boy
was still strong on his legs, and apparent
ly as lively as a Croton bug. 'The smile
never left bis face. Mitchell’s
features were moulded in dogged
resolve. McCaffrey met him on his
third rush with a resounding blow in the
jaw. Mitchell again tried to run over
him, and they were both locked against
the ropes. They were slow in breaking
away in response to the call of the ref
eree. The Englishman’s exertions were
so great that the veins stood out on his
neck like whip cord. McCaffrey, how
ever, was still smiling. He stopped a
rush with his right, giving the English
man another fearful reminder on the chin.
Again Mitchell forced the fighting, driv
ing the boy from one corner into the
other in a desperate effort to wind him.
Repeatedly be pressed him against the
repes, and broke away only at the call of
the referee. When time was called he
apparently had the best of it. Tbe boy
was panting for wind, while the English
man seemed to be fresh. Billy Edwards
whispered encouraging words to McCaff
rey, however, and he smiled in response.
FOURTH ROUND.
Mitchell sprang to the centre of the
ring in apparent exultuation. The bov
was still panting, but he took the offen
sive. He led off with his right and missed.
Both men Had their mouths open. There
was no more smiling. Each was terribly
in earnest. It was give and take and no
favors. The excitement was intense. The
hall roared like a blast furnace. There
were two fierce rallies. In the second
one McCaffrey hit Mitchell on the cheek
with his terrible right. The writ leathers
of his glove cut the cheek, and the blood
flew. A second afterward he got the En
glishman’s head in chancery and admin
istered severe punishment. The breast of
his shirt had a scarlet hue, made from the
blood from the Englishman’s cheek. At
sight of the sanguinary fluid the vast
crowd of spectators went mad with
delight. The yells were so great
that the combatants coqld not hear the
referee, and he was compelled to enter the
ring and part them. There was heaw
slogging, McCaffrey getting the best of it.
The men were repeatedly locked
against the ropes, and fighting with the
ferocity of tigers. When time called
Mitchell was more groggy on his legs than
McCaffrey. With his face and shirt
smeared with blood he presented a piti
able spectacle. McCaffrey was without a
scratch, with a face apparently as fresh
as a daisy. His shirt, however, looked
like the shirt ot a butcher and his gloves
were stained with gore. As neither man
evinced a disposition to obey the call of
“Time,” Capt. Williams entered the ring
and placed his baton between them. That
ended the fight.
Referee McCormick decided that Mc-
Caffrey had won It. In a second Billv
Edward’s arms were around McCaffrey’s
neck. He hugged him as a girl hugs her
lover. Billy O’Brien and scores of fiiends
congratulated him. A big floral horse
shoe was nung around his neck, and he
went to his room as a Roman conqueror
entered Rome. Mitchell left the ring
almost unnoticed. He had cleared $1,200,
but he had lost his pugilistic reputation.

Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 15.— The Capitol
Commissioners held a session this after*
noon. All of them were present with
the exception of Gen. Cook, who will
reach Atlanta from Toledo to-morrow, ac
companied by Messrs. Miles & Horn, the
contractors for the capitol building. Com
missioner Crane made a vernal report to
the board upon the subject of the con
tractors’ bond. He said that it was gilted
edged and first class in every particular.
A petition numerously signed was read,
which asked that the board confer with
the contractor at once and see if Georgia
marble could not be substituted for oolitic
limestone. The commission then ad
journed until to-morrow, when the report
of the sub-committee on the contractors’
bond will be read and acted upon.
THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT.
The Commissioners will also commence
getting up their report to the Legislature,
showing what they have done in the di
rection of furnishing the State with anew
capitol. The old court house, located on
the site of the new capitol, was 9old to
day at auction to W. G. Newman for $975.
The purchaser states that he bought it
for Contractors Mil 's & Horn. The work
of tearing down the building will com
mence at once. The building is one of
ancient character, and was erected in
1853 at a cost of $30,000.
The News correspondent was in
formed to-day that the committee ap
pointed to Investigate the charges pre
lerred against Chairman Alike Maher, of
the Street Commission, had agreed upon
a report which exonerated Air. Maher,
and the entire board also passed a resolu
tion of thanks to the commission for tho
efficient manner in which they had looked
after the affairs of their department of the
city government. This report will be read
at the next meeting of the Council.
The investigation of the affairs of the
City Engineer’s office is still going on.
The most prominent charge against City
Engineer Angier is that he allowed an
inferior quality of lumber to be put in a
bridge. A large number of witnesses or.
experts have been examined. The testi
mony is conflicting. Air. Angier claims
that the material used comes up to the
specifications furnished by the Smith
Bridge Company.

THE QUEBEC EXPLOSION.
Many Threatening Anonymous Letters
Received by the Governor General.
Quehec, Oct. 15. — Le Quottdien says:
“The Marquis of Lome, when Governor
General of Canada, received each week
from the United States anonymous letters
full of threats against himself and the
authorities. Let us put together the at
tempt In Quebec last Saturday with those
which occurred at Ottawa last winter,
and at Halifax this spring, and we shall
see that it is the same organization
which is at work. In the month of May
we received from New York several
papers of the llossa party, and these pub
lished just what has occurred, saying that
members of that party proposed to de
molish the Parliament buildings in Cana
da, commencing with those in Quebec.”
Le Journal de Quebec says: “What oc
curred on Saturday last seems to lie the
beginning of the execution of Fenian
projects, against which the authorities at
Ottawa have been on the alert since the
arrival oi the uew Gove, nor General.”
All the other local papers hold to the
theory that the act was committed by a
resident of the city.
