for nearly two years, under the name of W'il
liam Davis. When approached and ques
tioned Mr. Davis appeared restless, and said
he came to this place from Tennessee. Mr.
Stephens left him and reported to Bcechon
that he was satisfied that Davis was the man
he wanted. Beechon insisted on waiting and
watching the arrival of his visiting
brother, and their meeting would
give evidence of the identity of
the fugitive brother. This was finally
considered not the best poliev. and Mr. S. ar
rested Davis, who confessed that his right
name is John Handon. He was handcuffed
and put in prison, where his brother found
him on his arrival a few hours later, and
whose visit was the unintentional cause of dis
closing his brother’s whereabouts. John Han
don is about 2s years old and a splendid look
ing man physically, and during his stay in this
county has made a peaceable and industrious
citizen, none of his neighliors suspecting that
his hands had ever been imbrued in human
blood. Handou has a wife and one child who
have been with him for some time. Wheu he
left Crawford county he went to Tennessee
and remained there eight or nine months, and
then came to this county, where he has been
ever sice to the day of his arrest. He has
la-en carried back to Crawford county to
stand trial. Mr. Stephens, we understand,
will get half of the siSo reward.
Augusta Chronicle: The streets were filled
w ith attendants nixm the Methodist Holiness
meetings Wednesday, anil the congregations
at St. John's M. K. Church were very full.
The believers in the possession of holiness or
the enjovment of “the second blessing, - ’ as it
is termed, number many of the strongest and
liest Methodists. This class claim to have en
joyed the blessings of a clean heart, which is a
state following conversion and which gives
them freedom absolute from inbred sin. The
blessings of conversion awaken a desire in the
heart of the Christian to live nearer to God;
but the experience of a second blessing ren
di rs one impervious to sin, indifferent to
temptation and absolutely incapable of wrong
doing. Hundreds of those who fe, l this bless
ing are believed to have reached it instanta
neously, to have felt its birth in their hearts
and to have constantly enjoved its protection
throughout their lives, oh the other hand
other memiiers of the church be
lieve that this blessing is contempora
neous with conversion, and' that any
state akinto sanctification can only ba reached
by gradual growth m grace. This wss the be
lief of Bishop Pierce, although his father. Dr.
I.ovick Pierce, accepted the Wesleyan idea
that tlic holiness blessing came subsequent to
conversion. Among the ministers in attend
ance upon this convention are Rev. James
Evans, A. J. Jarrell, W. A. Dodge, W. A.
Parks and many others. Key Mr. Oliver, of
South Carolina.a well-known Presbyterian di
vine. is also in attendance and led the open-air
meeting Wednesday afternoon in front of the
Memorial Monument on Broad street. Mr.
Di ver has not only enjoyed the second bless
ing, but has been cured of a violent malady of
the head by prayer. It is related of him that
he once lay ii|s>n a violent lied of illness, and
that as his friends watched him, hourly ex
pecting him to die, be professed his belief that
he bad enjoyed the faith cure. He soon fell
into a refreshing sleep, and next morning as
tonished his attendants by rising from his bed
and attending services. This wan two years
ago, and he has never, it is said, been sick one
day since that time. 11 is case was almost equal
to that of Mrs. Wimpey, of N'orcross, who
was cured by prayer and faith from paralysis
in a single day, and who, from lieing in a con
dition of utter helplessness, walked to church
and related her experience. The faith cure,
however, is not a necessary attendant of ho
liness. About 200 delegates are attending the
convention. The 6 o’clock meeting Wednes
day morning was an experience and prayer
meeting, and was conducted by Rev. W. A.
Parks. Presiding Elder of ffie Gainesville dis
trict At 9 o’clock Rev. W. A. Dodge and
ti. 11. Pali Ho officiated, and in the afternoon
Rev. W. A. Parker. Dr. W. A. McDon
ald, of Boston, presided at nignt. In
the afternoon two open air meetings
ings were held—one near the Memorial Monu
ment. presided aver by Messrs. Oliver, Parks
and Dodge, and one at the Augusta Factory,
by Messrs. Jarrell, Wight in an, Patillo and
V' tills. These exercises were varied by sing
ing and exhortation and attracted large
crowds. These meetings will continue
throughout the week, the holiness session
closing .Sunday night.

Tampa Guardian: The saloon-keepers arc
already receiving orders not to sell to certain
individuals, and as far as wc can learn the
orders have been obeyed. The better-lialf of
one of the citizens called on the proprietors
of the two saloons and limited that citizen tc
three drinks per day, hut did not mention the
time at which the several drinks should be
given. The citizen called, ord-red a drink,
and got it; ordered another and received that;
he also got a third drink, but after that was
refused Ho then went to the other saloon
and got his three drinks, making six in all.
The result was that after taking down his six
drinks of Tampa whisky he liecame as happy
as he wanted to be. He got ahead of his liet
ter-half that time, but will encounter some
difficulties in repeating it, as he is now limited
as to time.

BROOKLYN GKEETS CLEVELAND
WITH WILD ENTHUSIASM.
Spectators Line the Route of Proces
sion for Five Mile* and Shower Their
Hero with Shouts and Plaudits—The
Demonstration the Most Remarkable
In the Campaign.
New York, Oct. 16.—While Gov. Cleve
land was at breakfast, delegates of the
reception committee in Brooklyn arrived
and entered the Governor’s apartments.
He joined them shortly before 9 o’clock,
and the committee, with their guest, im
mediately descended to carriages in wait
ing at the Twenty-third street entrance to
the hotel and drove down Broadway to
Brooklyn bridge. In the carriage
with Gov. Cleveland were Adjutant
General Farnsworth of his staff and Mayor
Banks, of Albany. At an early hour this
morning the organizations which were to
take part in the reception had assembled
at their respective headquarters from all
parts of the city. They marched with
flags and banners flying to the stations
assigned them in the streets In and ad
joining the entrance to East river, where
they fell into line and awaited the arrival
of the guest of the day. All the spaces
for blocks about the bridge entrance was

the Presidential candidate. The Chair
man of the Campaign Committee, ex-
Senator Murtha, and others of the com
mittee, the Chairman of the Young Demo
crats and Independent Republicans, re
ceived the Governor when he arrived in
his carriage on the Brooklyn side
of the bridge. The vast throng of
people assembled cheered enthusiastical
ly, and above the deafening roar rose the
piercing shrieks of hundreds of steam
whistles Irom steamboats and tugs on the
river. Business houses and private resi
dences in the neighborhood were deco
rated with bunting and every window was
tilled with men and women. The men
added their voices to those oi the cheering
throng below, and hundreds of white hand
kerchiefs fluttered in the hands of ladles.
CLEVELAND’S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
Standing up in his open barouche the
Governor btwed his acknowledgments
in response to the greeting accorded him,
and looked out upon the enthusiastic
throng with a pleased smile. His expres
sion was one of entire self-possession, sat
isfaction and quiet confidence. The Gov
ernor's carriage took its place in the line
of uniformed organizations and assumed
its position. The bauds struck up livelv
marching airs, and the proce -sion moved
toward the Pierrepont House up the
thoroughfare, which was lined with
cheering people beneath flags and
banners waving. As cheer after
cheer broke out and thousands
of ladies at the open windows waved
tbeir handkerchiefs, the Governor repeat
edly bowed one or the other side in re
sponse to the hearty greetings. The plaza
surrounding the City Hair was densely
thronged, and from the building itself
waved the National and State colors, in
honor of the city’s guest. Gov. Cleveland
was driven to the Pierrepont House on
Montague street, where an immense num
ber of people awaited him. Among those
who received the Governor in

shaking hands with the large number of
people introduced to him, the Governor
was escorted to the Art Assembly rooms
connected with the Academy of
Music, on Montague street.
The building was handsomely
decorated with bunting and evergreens
and was densely thronged. The street
without was also crowded to its utmost
capacity. As the Governor appeared on
the street on his way to the Academy he
was again cheered by thousands of voices.
On entering the building he was sur
rounded by those waiting there to greet
him, and for some time he was kept busy
shaking the hands of the hundreds pre
sented to him. Among them were Mayor
Low, Commissioners Fleeman and Par
tridge, Aldermen Kane, Colliers and Ole
na. Corporation Counsel Taylor, Senator
Kiernan and Senator Jacobs. These were
followed by 1,200 members of the recep
tion committee, who filed past the Gover

dreds more awaited their turn to grasp
Gov. Cleveland's hand, but time did not
permit, and he was escorted from the
Academy and once more took his seat in
his carriage.

CLEVELAND AT THE PARK.
On arriving at Ridgewood Park the
Governor was escorted to the grand stand,
and was introduced by Augustus Van
Wyck. The Governor was received with
tremendous cheering. Gov. Cleveland
said:
Amonu the many invitations to visit differ
ent point* which I have felt obliged to decline,
came one from Brooklyn friends to be their
guest to-day. This I could not decline, for I
could not forget the kindness I had received
at the hands of the people of this city, and the
hearty and generous support they gave me
when a stranger to them, I was a
candidate for the suffrage of the people
of our State and looking for their support.
Whether I am justified in the sentiments 1
feel toward the city of Brooklyn or not, I feel
in a degree toward it as one feels towards his
own home. In the midst of such intelligent
thought and independent political sentiment
that prevails here it would be presumptuous,
if it were otherwise proper, for me to refer in
a spirit of positivenesa to the pending political
campaign.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DEMONSTRATION.
This vast assemblage, and the interest and
enthusiasm which pervade its every part,
fully evidences your belief that there is in
volved in this canvas* something of great im
lxirtance u> ,our interests and welfare, and
this feeling is generally arous. and, and when it
leads to calm investigation and deliberate in
quiry, there is no danger that the people will
make a mistake in tlicir determination of the
issue. Our institutions will be maintained in
iiueguty and lienign influence, and popular
government will flll the remotest cor
ner of the land when ail our citizens,
from the highest to the humblest,

neglect it nor follow tlindly on thoughtless

GEN. M’CLKLLAN SPEAKS.
At the oonoluaion of Gov, Cleveland's
speech Gen. George B. McClellau was in
troduced,.and was accorded a rousing
welcome. His audience were entirely
with him when he said! “lam satisfied
that the people of this country oan safely
entrust to Gov. Cleveland all the vast in
terests of the land, for he possesses the
courage, honesty and ability to perform
every function of the Presidential office as
tou ght to be performed. I see it iu your
faoes.” he continued to say, “the same
conviction which I feel myself, and that
is that the man behind me (Gov. Cleve
land ) will be the next President of the
United States.”
It was expected that Mr. Hendricks
would be present to share the welcome
given Gov. Cleveland, but he did not come.
There were four other stands from which
other addresses were to be delivered, each
of which bad a definite programme as
signed to it, but the demonstration was
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1884.
so vast that the programme got bevond
the control of the committee, and all the
stands were used at one time or another.
Among the speakers were Gov. Leon Ab
bett of New Jersey, Gov. Waller of Con
necticut, Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania,
Congressman S. S. Cox, H. B. Scharman,
Judge Kelly of Philadelphia, Gen. Seigel,
and Albert Beschofield of Philadelphia.
30,000 PEOPLE GRASP HIS HAND.
The Governor could not keep at a dis
tance the eager multitude that pressed
forward to shake hands with him, and
throughout the day "he took bv the hand
no less than 30,000 people. The Governor
leit Ridgewood Park at 6:30 o’clock, and,
passing through Lafayette avenue, he re
viewed a number of' organizations that
were unable to join in the morning pa
rade. The enthusiasm was high and the
demonstation was grand all along the
way, and when he' came to the rink,
which he reached shortly after 8 o’clock,
the cheering and size of the crowd were
prodigious. The rink was filled when he
was led to the front ot the platform by
Augustus Van Wyck. The front doors were
thrown open to all. The arrangement
was for the people to enter by the
front door, pass the Governor as he stood
in front of the platform, and go out by
the door in the rear. At first they were
satisfied to cheer and bow and pass on,
but soon the demand to shake the Gov
ernor’s hand became irresistible and he
was subjected to almost two hours of
handshaking. The rink W’as densely
packed with people, many of whom had
secured seats by attending several
i.n advance, and in addition to these
not less than 10,000 people passed through
the building and saluted the candidate lor
the Presidency.
In magnitude and in popular enthu
siasm the demonstration from earl v morn
ing until late at night was prodigious.
All agree that the like of it has never been
seen in Brooklyn, and many say that it
was the greatest demonstration of popu
lar favor ever seen in America, The Gov
ernor and a few friends left the Brooklyn
rink at 10:30 for the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
ST. JOHN AT WORCESTER.
Republicans Excite Uis Ire by Getting
Up a Torchlight Procession.
Worcester, Mass., Oct. 16.—The Pro
hibition rally at the rink this evening
was in numbers and enthu
siasm. Charles B. Knight, of this city,
presided, and on the platform with the
speakers were many of the ultra temper
ance men of the State, and also a number
of ladies. Ex-Gov. St. John, the Presi
dential candidate ot the party, -was the
principal speaker.
A procession of Blaine and Logan
torch-bearers having passed near the
building Mr. St. Johu sharply criticised
the Republican managers for holding such
a demonstration when the Prohibitionists’
meeting was in session. It looked
as if the Republicans were
afraid to let the real issue
of tbe campaign be discussed. The great
er portion of his address was a reply to
the open letter of Rev. William A.
Thayer, of Franklin, Mass., wherein
Thayer takes him to task for destroying
the Republican party. He said that he
had been a life-long Prohibitionist and did
not leave the Republicans until they put
in their platform at Chicago a plank to
catch the votes ot the liquor interests.
Then he left them for good, and was free
to say that they had never done anything
for the cause of Prohibition. He
acknowledged his gratitude to
the Republicans for making him Gov
ernor of Kansas for four years.
He criticized Blaine for dodging the con
stitutional amendment in Maine, charged
the government with inconsistency in en
forcing the revenue laws m regard* to the
sale of liquor, while it cannot guarantee
a free ballot, and urged Prohibitionists to
continue their fight as did the Free Soilers
and victory will come in the future.

Jacksonville, Oct. I(s.—Senator Col

last night to a fine audience, at Metropo

national topics, and was a severe and
scathing denunciation of the corruption
in the various departments of the govern
ment. He assured his hearers that there
was no reason to be discouraged over the
result in Ohio. He expressed entire con
fidence in the election of Cleveland. His
remarks were frequently enthusiastically
applauded. At the close of the speech the
stage was crowded by persons eager to
grasp his hand. He spoke this morning
to a large mass meeting at Lake Gity with
most happy effect.

Close Down for a Week.
Fall River, Mass., Oct. 16.— A written
agreement circulated among the mills to

sons out of work for a week, and the
prospect is that unless the market im
proves the shut down will continue in
definitely. The shut down includes every
cotton goods mill in the city, except those
making fancy goods and a few laare print
cloth mills controlled by a combination of
capitalists which can afford to run during
dull times. The loss in wages by the
stoppage of these mills will be $75,000
weekly.

A BAD BLOW FOR BLAINE.
THE OHIO MAJORITY NOW RE
DUCED TO 10.000.
Government Clerk* at Washington Ter r
ribly Demoralized and all the Lead
ers Chagrined and Crestfallen—Over
•3,200,000 Spent in the State by the
Republicans and Their Treasury Very
Badly Depleted.
W asuington, Oct. 16.—Representative
Ellis, of Louisiana, who is just from Ohio,
says: “The Republicans have carried a
Republican State, Ohio, by a decreased
majority. The Democrats have carried a
Democratic State, West Virginia, by an
increased majority. It will not affect
New York, Indiana, New Jersey or Con
necticut. These will certainly go for
Cleveland in November, together with
the solid South. Tuesday’s vote is one of
the largest votes ever cast in Ohio, and
will reach probably 800,000. The Demo
crats polled a larger vote than
they ever did before, probably. Look
at what the Republicans had to
do to carry the State. They have ex
hausted their treasury and made a show
or their candidate in every wayside town
and corner of the State. In the last five
days the Republican National Committee
sent $1,400,000 into the State,and during the
campaign they have spent over $2,200,000.
In Maine they spent over $200,000. They
can’t do this all along the line in Novem
ber.
THEIR FUNDS NOT INEXHAUSTIBLE.
“Tbeir treasury cannot be inexhaustible,
and when the people, come to know the
methods employed in Ohio they will re
volt against it. All the power of the Fed
eral administration was exerted to the
utmost to carry this State election. Com
missioner Dudley, with the whole power
of his office and official servers, overran
the State. The people in this country
won’t stand such methods. The honest
Republicans can’t sanction them. What
will be the feeling throughout the coun
try when it becomes known that the Re
publican National Committee in New
York shipped arms into the State * Boxes
of arras and ammunition were received in
Ohio and distributed among the lowest
scoundrels that ever prowled through an
alley or slept in a sewer, pimps, vaga
bonds and pickpockets. How much did
the Democrats spend? Something over
$200,000. They are not in the least ex
hausted. They will carry New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut. I
am confident of that. Commissioner
Dudley and his agents can’t be in all these
States at once. Nor can Blaine.”
DUDLEY’S DISAPPOINTMENT.
Commissioner Dudley’s plans were so
affected by the reduction in the reported
Republican majority in Ohio that instead
of waiting until next week, as he had pro
posed to do, he left to-night for New York
to confer with the campaign managers.
He will probably go from there at once to
Indiana. Before leaving he said that he
thought that the Ohio Republican major
ity would not go below 10,000. He added
that while a small majority would not
have the same effect on the other
States that a larger one would, that it
would certainly be large enough to give
Blaine a very decided advantage from
this time on. However, he was not so
sure to-night as he was last night that
Cleveland would not carry a single North
ern State. In fact, he was almost willing
to concede one or two.
THE EFFECT AT WASHINGTON.
The effect of the official returns from
Ohio and West Virginia upon the Blaine
shouters here, who were so enthusiastic
last night, was magical. They have been
in the depths all day. The reaction was
much more disastrous than would have
been the truth had they known it yester
day, especially to those who “celebrated”
last night. There was a panic in all the
departments. Business was suspended,
and the newspaper and telegraph offices
were besieged by clerks with anxious
laces as the Republican claims fell from
23,000 through all degrees to 10,000, and a
telegram was received placing the real
majority at 3,500.
CLAPP CREST-FALLEN.
Contributions to Clapp’s coffers sud
denly dwindled. The clerks once more
expected Cleveland’s election. They saw
that the Ohio “victory” was as costly as a
defeat to Blaine and almost as unprofita
ble. Clapp himself remarked when he
was asked what he thought that he had
a bad cold. Subsequently he said that he
had a telegram stating that the Republi
can majority would be reduced to 0,000,
but that he did not believe it. The Demo
crats were certainly hammering them
down, but he did not propose to yield his
claim of 10,000 until forced to yield.
THE MAJORITY ONLY 10,037.
Cleveland, 0., Oct. 16.—Official re
turns from Tuesday’s election are coming
in slowly at both of the State headquar
ters, and final estimates are made with
difficulty. On figures subject to
revision, the Democrats concede on the
State ticket a majority of 10.037, while the
Republicans estimate the majority at 10,-
792. The Democratic Committee claim
eleven of the twenty-one Congressmen,
while the Republican Committee still
consider the Eleventh district doubtful,
and say that it will require the official re
turns to decide it. No figures are given
on this district in either place.
THE OFFICIAL PLURALITY 11,421.
Columbus, 0., Oct. 17, 2 a. m.— Official
returns were received last night at the
Republican headquarters from Ashtabula
and Wood counties, these being the last
to report and completing the list. The
revised figures give Robinson a plurality
of 11,421. This shows a Republican gain
of 26,050 and a Democratic gain of 2,102.
In 66 counties the Republicans made all
their gains and the Democrats in the rest.
The Republican gain in the rural dis
tricts is equal to their plurality. Chair
man Ogilvie concedes the election of
Ellsberry in the Eleventh district. The
delegation to Congress will stand 11
Democrats to 10 Republicans.
WEST VIRGINIA’S VOICE.
The Previous Estimates of the Demo
cratic Majority not Materially Changed.
Charleston, W. Ya., Oct. 16.—Ka
nawaha, this county, gives a large fusion
majority ranging from 800 to 1,000. Max
well, the fusion candidate, carries this
county with fully 1,300. Wilson, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, will
carry the State by 6,000. The Democrats
in this county lose all the offices, except a
few constables and justices of the peace.
RETURNS FROM THE COUNTIES.
Barbour county gives Wilson 75 ma
jority, a Democratic loss of 320 compared
with 1880. The Republicans elected a
member of the Legislature and Prosecut
ing Attorney. Fayette county gives Max
well 170 majority. Jackson county gives
Maxwell 125 majority. In Summers
county Wilson has 208 majority and the
Republicans elected the Sheriff. Mason

Braxton county 400 majority. In Harri

The Firm of Davies, Atkinson & Cos.
Ruined by a Man Aged Only 24 Year*.
Chicago, Oct. 16.—The house of Davies,
Atkinson & Cos., which closed yesterday,
is the Chicago branch of John T. Davies
& Cos., a pork house of Liverpool. It is
now said that the failure is due to a de
falcation by John A. Atkinson, aged 24,
who has been managing the business
since his father’s death. Young Atkinson
is said to have lost money in speculating.
The amount ol his defalcation is stated at
about $150,000.
HOW THE THEFT CAME OUT.
Yesterday the Continental National
Bank began suit for $25,000 against the
large hog packing firm of Davies, Atkin
son & Cos., which is the Chicago branch of
the Liverpool pork house of John T. Davies
& Cos. A statement was published to-day
that this suit and one brought bvMrs.
Atkinson, widow of the junior member,
for $60,000, grew out of the alleged serious
defalcation by John A. AtkinsoD, aged 24
years, his son, who has managed the Chi
cago house since his father’s death. On
Oct. 3 Mr. Davies arrived from
Liverpool on his annual trip of
inspection into the condition of the branch
house. After arriving at the hotel one of
the employes brought him an unsigned
and unaddressed letter in what se med to
be young Atkinson’s handwriting, con
fessing that he was a defaulter to the
amount of SIIO,OOO, that he began specu
lating on the Board of Trade, and having
made money at first, went in deeper, get
ting on the wrong side of the market in
both buying and selling; that at one time
he was wiihin a few thousands of
being even when a collapse in prices
made him worse off than before. On the
next day Mr. Davies declared a dissolu
tion of the branch firm and began an in
vestigation, which thus far, it is stated,
shows a shortage of $200,000 in young
Atkinson’s accounts, and Mr. Davies be
lieves that it will exceed that sum. No
arrests have been made. It is understood
that Atkinson is at his house in the sub
urbs of Kenwood.

The Furious Torchbearer* Take the
Assassin from Jail and Lynch Him.
La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 16.—F. A. Bur
ton, President of the Blaine and Logan
club here, was shot dead by a man known
as “Scotty” at 8 o’clock this evening
while the Republicans were forming in
procession on Main street. Seven shots
were fired in quick succession. The
murderer was arrested and hurried to
jail before the immense crowd could
realize what had occurred. As soon as
the fact was made known there was
intense excitement, and hundreds of men
in uniform and carrying their torches
hurried to the court house yard
and demanded that the prisoner be
handed over to them. “Lynch him!”
“Lynch him,” was the general cry. At
8:45 o’clock to-night hundreds of men
were beseiging the jail. Sheriff Scott,
Chief ot Police Clark and a posse of police
were at the jail door trying to calm the
infuriated multitude. The body of Bur
ton was taken to a drug store, where an
examination showed that life was extinct.
Every shot took effect.
A COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
Those who stood near the scene say that
the mau advanced from the crowd on the
sidewalk to within a few feet of his victim
and fired the first bullet into
his back, when Burton tell to
the pavement. This was followed with
six shots into the prostrate man’s body
and head. “Scotty” then threw his re
volver at his victim and gave him a kick.
All this was done in a moment, and be
fore anyone could realize the situation.
The motive of the murder has not come to
light. Burton was managing the cam
paign in this section. The mob finding
that they could not prevail upon the au
thorities to surrender the prisoner, at
10:45 o’clock procured coldchiseis, forced
open the doors, and putting a rope around
the murderer’s neck, lynched him.
AN AWFUL SCENE.
The officers were not able to stay the
mob, who refused to listen to argument.
From 9 o’clock to 10 the court house yard
and square presented a scene which beg
gared description. The mob increased in
numbers until the entire space on the
three sides of the jail was a dense mass
of humanity, demanding that the mur
derer be hung. Torches flared above the
sea of heads of white plumes moving reso
lutely about the square. The best citi
zens in the place were present and
watched the fearful scene with blanched
faces, but with no expression of sym
pathy.
COOL HEADS WORK THE VENGEANCE.
There were hundreds of wonen in the
thoroughfares and walks about the jail.
The excitement grew stsadily in force,
and the mob at last found leaders with
cool heads, who went methodically
about taking the man from prison and
lynching him. Beams were procured,
and in a short time the heavily bolted and
barred doors of the Fourth street side
of the jail were battered in by
the crowd, which poured into
the first floor rooms. The Sheriff and his
assistants succeeded in clearing the room
the first and second time, but on the third
rush the mob overpowered them and held
their ground. The interior wooden doors
of the cooking department yielded like so
many platej of glass.
THE CROWD IN POSSESSION.
In the meantime, the heavy oak door
leading to the main stairway on the west
side was battered down, and the crowd
had full possession of the main corridor.
While this was going on, the crowd be
came almost colossal about tbe
place, but aside from the rush of
men at the jail the best of order prevailed.
There were no drunken men in the mob,
the whole work being done by resolute
fellows, who decided to make the murder
er pay the death penalty before they left
the square. Once in the corridor sledge
hammers were used to break in the heavy,
iron doors, two in number, that inter
vened between there and the cell room.
These soon yielded, and as each advance
was made the crowd were appraised on
the outside. The crowd had but little
difficulty In finding their man, and he
was taken out and hanged as related
above.

Raltimore and Ohio and West Shore
Knifing Rates Between New York and
Chicago.
New York, Oct. 16.—The offices of the
Baltimore and Ohio and West Shore Rail
roads to-day received orders to sell tickets
to Chicago at sl4 for second and sl6 lor
first-class fares. These are the rates at
which the ticket scalpers have been sell
ing for five months past. -The rates to
other points are: To St. Louis sl9 and
sl6 50, Detroit sl3 and sl2. “We have
made this reduction in rates,” said one of
the railroad officials, “toprotect ourselves.
I, in a regular office of a road, which I will
not name, bought a ticket to Chicago for
sl6. We do not intend to be beaten in
this matter.” Brokers have made no
change in their rates. The representa
tives of the Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, and other roads, said that
the cut would probably be met by their
roads in a few days.
THE WEST SHORE CUTTING.
Passenger rates have been reduced to
and from New York and to and from all
local stations on the New York, West
Shore and Buffalo Railway between Al
bany, Buffalo and Niagara Falls to sub
stantially one cent per mile. These rates
take effect Friday morning, and will re
main in force every day for all trains un
til further notice, Through rates via the
West Shore route were to-day reduced to
sls to Chicago, with a corresponding re
duction to all other points. The West
Shore justifies its sweeping reduction,
both in local and through rates, by the
statement that other lines have been se
cretly selling tickets at cut rates, and
that they simply adopt publicly rates es
tablished privately by their competitors.
This aotion inaugurates the fight that has
been threatening for some time past, and
the contest between the trunk lines
promises to be the most bitter of recent
years.
John King was to-day elected President
of the New York, Lake Erie and West
Shore Road to supersede Hugh J. Jawett.

resigning.
The Pall Mall Gazette admits that the
Chinese have suffered a repulse at Chu,
but says that the estimate that 3,000 were
killed is simply ludicrous. The Gazette
believes that the report of the victory at
Chu has been exaggerated to cover the
recent French disaster at Tamsui, and to
put the Chamber in humor to vote a cred’t
for carrying on the war against China. '

THE SITUATION.
A Review of the Factions Which Give
Massachusetts to Cleveland.
The largest Republican vote ever cast
in the Bay State, says a Boston special of
Oct. 15, was four years ago, Garfield re
ceiving 165,000 and Gen. Hancock about
110,000. Last year Gov. Robinson re
ceived 160,000, while Gen. Butler bad 150.-
000, the latter being the largest Demo
cratic vote ever cast in Massachusetts,
and it is a well known fact that by a mis
take of the printer, either by accident or
design, several Democratic wards in Bos
ton were without votes for several hours
in the forenoon, and by this error an
estimated vote of 5,000 was totally
lost. As the case now stands the
largest Republican vote ever cast
in Massachusetts was 165,000 four years
ago, and the largest Democratic vote one
year ago of 150,000. Now, considering the
vote this year, there is an excellent fight
ing chance tor Cleveland and Hendricks.
Despite the bluster ot Gen. Butler, a can
vass of the State reveals about 20,000
votes tor the doughty General. In order
to allow for mistakes, that canvass has
been doubled and 40,000 votes allowed the
People’s party, leaving as a Democratic
vote 110,000. exactly what Gen. Hancock
received four years ago. That 110,000
will assuredly go for Cleveland this fall.
Then there is the independent element to
be considered, and there are surelv 35,000
good men and true who will join with the
Democrats for Cleveland. Deducting that
number from 165,000, leaves 130,000 for the
Republican ticket, or rather, for “that
man Blaine.” Add 35,000 to 110,000 and a
result of 145,000 appears for the Demo-
cracy.
There is yet another element to be de
ducted from the Republican vote, the Pro
hibition ticket, and for that allow 12,000
votes, the number that Judge Pitman
called out several years ago when he ran
for Governor. Most ot those ballots are
generally cast with the Republican party,
and that yet further reduces the Republi
can chances in Massachusetts. If these
estimates are approximately correct there
is an excellent chance for Democratic
success in what has always been a sure
Republican State, and the belief is that
the situation in Massachusetts is exaetlv
as here indicated, that is, so far as relates
to the national ticket.
In regard to the State ticket, it is more
than likely that the Independents will
vote with their party, and that the present
Governor will be returned by a strict
party vote, although Judge Endicott, the
Democratic nominee, will draw some
votes from the Independents, who may be
careless or indifferent. Another element
in Massachusetts not considered in this
dispatch is what is known as the Quakers,
or the stay-at-homes, and they will not be
an inconsiderable torce drawn from the
Republican party.
SINGULAR TRANSFORMATION.
A Tount Chicago Lady Suddenly Dis
covers that She Is a Man.
A well-attested case of a change of sex,
says a Chicago special, which, from the
prominence of the parties interested, has
created considerable interest, has just
been made public. Mr. John C. Sprey, of
the Gardner & Sprey Lumber Company,
is a well-known, wealthy and respected
citizen. His residence is upon tne north
west corner of Loomis and West Monroe
streets. His family consisted of four
girls and three boys up to
about two months ago. He now has
four boys and three girls. The eldest
daughter, Miss Eliza Sprey, was married
a few years ago to Mr. John Harvey, of
the firm of Harvey Bros., clothiers, but is
now a widow. The second daughter. Miss
Harriet Sprey, was brought up as a girl
and considered herself as such. Much
care was spent upon her training and ed
ucation. She attended the West Division
High School and was a frequent visitor to
the natatorium. Here she was considered
an expert swimmer. Her powerful frame
and awkward movements and athletic
manner excited suspicion among her girl
friends. She made rapid and satislactory
progress with her studies.
There came a time when a manly down
adorned her upper lip. Her voice, too,
deepened from its not unpleasant con
tralto, and was alternated with the full
chest tones of a basso. The young women
of the school were quick to see all these
indication# and their suspicions were
aroused. There began to be nods and
winks, and tor the first time in her life
Miss Hattie began to get the cold shoul
der. The matter was brought to the at
tention of the teachers and Miss Hattie
was sent home. When Miss Hattie had
been home some days she had a private
and confidential conversation with her
mother, which resulted in the calling of
an eminent surgeon. Dr. Moses Gun, well
known in medical circles, and a prelimi
nary examination and corroboratory cir
cumstances decided all parties that an
operation was necessary.
When this was concluded Miss Harriet,
now Harry Sprey, put on a suit of her
brother’s clothes, had her hair cut, bought
a razor, and entered upon anew career as
a young man. A day or two ago when in
company with his brother he departed for
a school for boys and young men in the
city of Boston, where at last accounts he
was prosecuting his studies diligently and
fitting himself for the battle of life.
A number of physicians spoken with
upon this very interesting case say there
are few like it on record in the books of
medical science.

Liverpool, Oct. 16.—As passengers
were disembarking' last evening from the
American line steamer Lord Clive, from
Philadelphia, an Irish detective arrested
a Hungarian steerage passenger on sus
picion. His baggage was subjected to a
search with the result of discovering 30
packages of dynamite, making about a
pound and a half of that dangerous ex
plosive.
English detectives are closely watching
the ports of Belgium. Special attention
is given to the port of Antwerp, to prevent
the departure of dynamiters for England.
Yerv stringent cautionary measures are
being adopted.
THE STEAMER’S SAILING.
Philadelphia, Oct. 16.—At the office
of the general agents of the line in this
city no information respecting the cable
dispatch about packages of dynamite be
ing found on the Lord Clive could be ob
tained, although one of the employes
said that just previous to the departure ot
the vessel from her wharf, two men, one
ot whom was said to be a detective,
boarded the steamer, and the couple went
into the steerage together. Here they
scrutinized all the passengers, and when
the signal was given for all visitors to
leave the vessel, the two men held a hasty
conference, and then the man said to be
the detective left. The other remained on
board and sailed with her in the steerage.
The detective disappeared irom the wharf
as soon as the vessel started down the
river. The Lord Clive left her wharf at
10 o’clock on the morning of Oct. 4, and
went to sea the same evening. Her steer
age passengers numbered 166.
QUEBEC’S EX PLOSIONS.
The Government’s Private Investigation
Begun—Many Theories Still Afloat.
Quebec, Oct. 16.—John L. Sutton,Pres
ident ot the Quebec branch of the Irish
League, claims that the man who planned
the explosion was familiar with the move
ments of the workmen. One explosion
took place when they were absent, and
the other when the men wers all at the
end of the building. “Was this providen
tial or according to the designs of the per
petrators? There is no necessity for
meetings and apologies or disclaimers
from anybody. We nave a government
and police, and if proper measures are
taken I do not see any difficulty in sad
dling the right horse. Perhaps an inquiry
consequent upon some future political
scandal may develop the fact that the
dynamiter of Saturday last can speak
much better French than O’Donovan
Rossa.”
The private Investigation into the re
cent explosions at the Parliament house
has been begun before Judge Chariveaur
by order of the local government.
Mr. Charelbors, the contractor,
was up lor examination yesterday.
Workmen while clearing up the
debris to-day discovered a copper cap
which is supposed to have formed part of
one of the infernal machines. It is stated
here that the government intends to place
permanent guards around the Parliament
house and the other provincial buildings
here nightly. For this purpose it is
stated that several government employes
have volunteered to go on patrol and 200
receive extra pay in addition to their pre>
sent salaries.
ANNOYING THE GOVERNOR.
A Man and His Wife Ejected from the
Executive Chamber.
Albany, Oct. 13. —There was a sensa
tional scene at the Executive Chamber to
day. Mrs. Samuel Boone, of Chemung
county, called on Gov. Cleveland with her
husband to seek a pardon lor her brother,
Myron Fuirl auk, who was sentenced nine
months ago to Auburn prison for two
years and a half for shooting at some per
sons who were stoning his father’s house.
As soon as Mrs. Boone saw the Governor
she threw her arms around his neck and
began pleading for her brother’s pardon.
The Democratic candidate for President,
taken aback by the greeting, shook her
off and asked her to be seated and talk
the matter over quietly. F/ne then be
came more excited, and her husoand
began to threaten what he would
do in case of refusal. The Governor rang
for assistance and the couple were forci
bly ejected from the Executive chamber.
In the corridor the woman went into hys
terics, and the orderlies had difficulty in
getting her down stairs. She made the
building fairly ring with her shrieks, and
had to be held down because she wanted
to get out of the elevator and return to the
Governor’s room. Her husband was also
much excited. He called on the Governor
about three mouths ago on a similar
errand. Being then informed that the
District Attorney had advised that a par
don be not granted, Boone grossly in
sulted the Governor. He said he would
go home and slap the faoe of the District
Attorney, as that official had given him
to understand that he had sent the Gov
ernor a letter recommending the pardon.
Boone declared that if he found on going
home that the District Attorney baa
written such a letter he would return and
slap the Governor’s face.
Why the Swiss Can Drink So Mach.
London Time*.
Owing to the small proportion of moist
ure in mountain air and low barometric
pressure, evaporation is very rapid. Even
after the heaviest rain the ground dries
in a few hours. The quality t>f the air
tends to make perspiration more profuse
and the skin dry faster than is the case
at lower elevations. There is greater
thirst, the tissues waste luster, and a high
authority has said that a mans tissue is
the only thing which it is his duty to
waste, new tissue being out of all com
parison better than old.
It is probably this rapid evaporation at
great heights, and the thirst which it en
genders, that the Swiss have to thank for
their wonderful drinking powers. The
other week the marksmen of Canton Vaud
held their annual rifle meeting at Pay erne,
a picturesque village on the Broye, and
the local papers mention with something
like pride that the shooters and their
friends drank the place dry. On Sunday,
Aug. 10, which was the great day, they
consumed 6,000 bottles of wine and 5,000
litres ( 4,400 quarts) of beer, the total con
sumption for three davs being 10,000 bot
tles of the one and 7,300 litres of the other.
Everybody who has been in the Highlands
of Scotland, or any Cither mountain land,
and tried the experiment, knows that he
can drink with impunity much more whis
ky, or whatever else the rn du pane may
be, than he can drink at home. This, it
may be as well to observe, is mentioned
as a dry fact, not as an additional reason
for going to the mountains.
