The husband could not credit his eyes, and the wife’sjoy was so great that she could not speak. Finally she pro claimed to them the glad tidings that God had saved her. She taught the children their Sunday school lessons for that afiernoon, and herself attended Sunday school, ascending with nimble step the church steps, to the amazement of all present. The dauiclkter, on her return from said vi-it, instead of finding her mother a corpse or sick nigh onto death, as she apprehended, found her at the Tenuille depot with words of welcome and gladness. FLORIDA. Ocala’s new brick church is nearly com pleted. The public schools opened generally through out the State last week.

On Jan. 1, 1884, says the Journal of the Military Institute, there were 28,54 b bags of saltpetre of 180 pounds each, under control ol tne importers, and about 20,000 bags in the bands of consumers, repre senting altogether about 12,000,000 pounds of powder, and this quantity of nitre would, it is fair to assume, be available upon a declaration of war. Government has, besides, sufficient nitre in store to bring our powder supply up to 17,000,000 pounds. Furthermore, "oil Jan. 1, 1884, there were in the market and in consum ers* hands about 125,000 bags of sodium nitrate, representing, in case of necessity, aliout 20,000,000 pounds of powder, doubt less ol inferior quality, but still usable. The supply of sulphur need not be consid ered, for il required it can be obtained iu abundant quantity from Nevada, Califor nia, Utah, Wyoming and the Yellowstone Park. Without special pressure Nevada produced in 1880 1,200,000 pounds. The records of our late war show that expen ditures of small-arm ammunition aver aged half a cartridge per day per man. Quadrupling this allowance for the better weapon of the present day, we would need for an army of 1,000,000 men 2,000.- 000 cartridges jer diem, requiring 20,000 pounds of powder for their manufacture. Allowing two field guns per 1,000 men we would have 2,000 pieces which, with an average of one round daily, would consume 3,000 i>ounds of powder, Our powder consumption for the active army during the first year would thus be about 8,500,000 pounds, or one-half of our pos sible saltpetre powder product, leaving the other half for seacoast defense, and having in final reserve a possible 20,u00.000 pounds of the inferior sodium nitrate powder. In the course of this first year nitraires would have to be started throughout the coun try, as was successfully done in the Southern States during the war, and a further supply of nitre be obtained by lixiviation. It is patent that a great na tion should not be dependent upon either foreign sources, or the precarious process of nitrification lor a supply of this absolutely indispensable military salt. Nitrates are found in the South ern and Western States and Territories. I deem it a military necessity that gov ernment should assure their development by proper legislative aid. The high ex plosives that bear so prominent a part in modern warfare are almost all resultants of nitrio acid decomposition, and this must le obtained from the nitrates. The producing capacity of the pow der mills w orking on high grade powder, including all kinds, for small arms, field and heavy guns, is aliout 100,000 pounds per day, au output that could be doubled by utilizing all available plant. This would meet all available demands. AN UNREWARDED GENIUS. The luTentor of Steam Navigation, Le Marquis Claude Jouffroy. It may not be generally known that the French claim the invention of the steam boat tor a Frenchman whom they have this year somewhat tardily sought to honor by erecting a statue to his memory at Besancou, inaugurated on Aug. 17 last. Claude Francois Dorothee, Marquis de Jouffroy d’Abbans, was born at lloche sur-Rognon, Haute Marne, in 1751. After spending his first youth in the court as page to the Dauphine, he entered the army jn 1771, and devoted all his leisure to the stud; of mechanics, which, indeed, had been the passion of bis boy hood. On challenging his su perior officer to a duel, he suffered two vears’ exile in the Isle of St.“ Marguerite, where the constant sight of the sea and of shipping led him to conceive the possibility of applying steam as a motive power in navigation, liis exile terminated in 1775, and he ar rived in I’cris nearly simultaneously with the first Watt engine, which had been brought from Birmingham bv Eerier, the engineer. Eerier aud Jouffroy shortly became acquainted, and the idea of apply ing steam to boats was quickly taken up bv the former, the leading engineer in Paris. Experiments were begun, when Jouffroy pointed out the defects in Perier’s w rk, but in \auii, the result being cha grin and disappointment cn one side and failure on toe other. In due time jouffroy left Pans, aud at Beaumes les Dames, a small town in Francke Comte, without any other help than that of the village smith, be constructed his first steamboat, 13 metres long and 2 broad, which he launched on the Doubs in June, 1776* He afterward spent many years iu improving upon this nide invention, of which the principles VQ re sound enough; but he had greatly himself and was depressed by the professional tion to which he was constantly subjected alter the failure of Perier. In 1790 came the revolution, when Jouffroy, as a peer and a royalist, became an exile, and for a time ah enemy of the republic, being intrusted with a command in the Armee dtt Conde. He finally returned to France after the restoration ot the Bourbons in 1815, but ruined iu purse and broken In health, lie was eventually admitted as a pensioner into the Invalides, where he died of cholera in 1832. The Anglo-Ameri can Fulton, to whom we chiefly owe the introduction of steam into English navi gation. and who spent some years of his life in Paris, honorably acknowledged his obligation to Jouffroy "as the elder inven tor. Jouffroy's memorial at Besancon is due to the initiative of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, by w hom it was publicly inaug urated. Thrice Assessed. W ASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—The Pennsylva nia clerks in the departments received yesterday a third assessment circular from the Pennsylvania Republican Com mittee. This time aid is earnestly asked in order that the Republican Congress men may be elected. Bo*adalii. Rosadalis is a great remedy for Scro fula. and all taints and diseases of the Blood. It should be taken at all times and seasons, especially in the spring and fall, when the sudden changes induce dis ease.

My wife' sent tor a doctor, and he attended me nine months. He said he could do me no good; but one bottle of Rosadalis did me more good than all the medicine the doctor ever gave me. J. A. Walker, Moore’s Creek, N. C. ALL POINTING TO VICTORY JOHN KELLY SURE OF NEW YORK FOR C LEVELAND. The Disruption of the Solid South Blaine’s Only Hope—The Democrats Confident of Carrying New York, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey aud Nevada. Washington, Oct. *29.—William Dick son, of the Democratic Central Committee of the District, yesterday received a letter from Jcbn Kelly, of New York, saying that Tammany Hall is doing its very best to elect Cleveland and Hendricks, no matter what may be said to the contrary by those who may be suspicious. The letter states; “It is impossible to sav what mav be the re sult here in this State". Butler "will poll a comparatively large vote. How many no one, of course, can determine. On the other hand the Independent* and German Repub licans, who have hitherto voted the Republi can ticket, I think will lie an offset to the same. Il is said by good judges that St. John will ioll from 1.i.000 to 2U.000, about eight tenths of whom have hiterto voted the Re publican ticket. I believe wc will carry New York without any doubt in view of these facts.” BLAINE’S LAST HOLE. S retary Post and his assistants, who are in direct communication with the national headquarters in New York, to-day expressed themselves as feeling confident of Cleveland’s election. They declared that all their advices from New York showed that the Republicans were not counting upon that State, but were fighting to elect Blaine without it. One of the principal officials at headquarters said: ‘•The press dispatches say that Chaffee has gone to Florida. Of course he has money. Other Republican agents have gone to Vir ginia, North Carolina and Louisiana. The pcheme of the Republicans is to capture a Southern State, if {Kissible, notwithstanding the bloody shirt bowl. They do not believe they can elect Illaii e in the North, but if one of the Southern States—even Florida, with four electoral votes—can be carried for him it may defeat Cleveland. Our advices from all the Southern States are that no matter what amount of money the Republicans may spend there the South is sure for Cleveland. They also have an eye to Virginia. Mahone has been liberally supplied with money and thev will make a desperate fight for the State.” Secretary Post said that in liis opinion Blaine's last hope was to break the solid South. DRUMMERS TO VOTE FOR CLEVELAND. A leading merchant of this city said to a re porterto-day: "The commercial drummers all teem to be going back to New York to vote for ( leveland. They have been coming in my store in numbers for some days asking for or ders, and i-aving they were en route home to vote for Cleveland. One of them who travels a great deal in Texas was in this morning. I asked why he was not in Texas, and he re plied: ‘Every man traveling for our house lias had orders fiom the boss to be in New York by Nov. Ito vote. The head of the firm wrote one of us that it was the interest of the house aud of all business men to elect Cleveland,and lie would like for us all to be on hand and vote for him. <if cour.-e the firm's interest is our interest and we will ail be there to vote the Democratic ticket. He said that the firm was to pay all the expenses incurred by their employes in going home to vote. California is so far oft' that very little politi cal news comes from there, but now and then Senator Farley and Representatives Rudd, Sumner and Tulley have advised the Demo cratic managers that they expect to carry the State. The Democrats here claim New York, Ohio, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey and Ne vada. • FLORIDA ON THE WIRE. Democratic Hosts Filled with Enthu siasm All Over the State. Jacksonville, Oct. 29.—Ex-United •States Senator Chaffee and the local lie publican leaders held a caucus Sunday. They are actively engaged iu making arrangements to control the electoral vote of this State. It is thought that the Ohio plan of appointing a large force of Deputy Marshals will be attempted, with the distribution of a considerable cor ruption fund. The Democrats are on the alert, and will use every effort to counter act the purpose. They are determined not to submit to such methods in Florida. The electoral vote may be of the utmost importance to the Republicans. Gen. Perry arrived here this morning, and will speak here to-morrow. Avery large attendance is expected. Excur sions have been arranged from all parts of the State. Many clubs will be present from other cities. Houses will be illu minated all along the route of the proces sion. A large number of business men will be in line. Mr. Dougherty had an immense meet ing at Orlando this morning. Thirty-seven hundred registrations in Orange county give assurance of a good majority lor the Jemocrats. Tallahassee gathered three thousand strong yes.erday to hear Gen. Perry, Mr. Davidson, and others. FLOCKING TO JACKSONVILLE. River Junction, Fla., Oct. 29.— The Perry Guards,JiX) strong, and the Escam bia Rifles, accompanied by 100 or more excursionists lrom Pensacola, passed here this morning en route for Jackson ville to hear Perry speak. Mac Williams made a short speech to a crowd that had collected on the plattorm to meet them here. The cars were decorated with bunting and much enthusiasm was shown. FRAUDS IX CALIFORNIA. Republicans Preparing to Carry the State by Illegal Methotls. Washington, Oct. tt9.—The Demo cratic Congressional Committee here has been warned by correspondents in Cali fornia of a contemplated election fraud in San Francisco. The registration lists in that city have been swollen enormously, exceeding by 20 percent, all the estimates ol increase from natural causes. In fact, it has been generally held that the popu lation ot the city was nearly stationary, and only a small increase, if any, was expected. The result ot the registration sows, however, an increase of over 6,000 names. The President of the Board of Registration called tbe attention of the members to the extraor dinary increase, and asked if any ex planation could be given for it, but ob tained no reply. Many respectable citi zens believe that an enormous fraud is to be perpetrated by the Republican mana gers which is to mage good the confident claims of Blaine managers to a great Re publican majority in the State, and at the same tijne sweep into power in the city an irresponsible and unworthy city ticket. CONGCESSION AL CAN D1 DATES. Evans Refuse* fa Make Way for M houe In the Fourth Virginia District. Petersburg, Va., Oct. 29.—Hon. Jos. P. Evans, the colored Kepublicau candi date for Congress in the Fourth Virginia district, and an opponent of Col. Jas. D. Brady, the candidate of the Mahone wing, to-day received a letter from B. F. Jones, Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee, requesting his prompt withdrawal from the contest in favor of Brady. In his letter, which is dated New <>- Oct. 29, Chairman Jones says: ticpariv has put up “Now that the Demo... r —-i or >al dia a candidate in the Fourth Conjfrt,.- trict and are pressing h>B candidacy, hoping by a division of the Republican vote to elect their candidate, the Nutional Committee feel constrained to ask that you withdraw from the contest, and that you Will support active ly, earnestly and cordially, the regular Re publican ticket.” To tois letter Evans returned a tele gram declaring that under no ciecum statices would he give up his nomination. Busy Days for Cleveland. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 29. — Q6\. Cleve land, accompanied by his private secre tary, Col. Earnout, leaves to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock for New Haven, re turning to Albany the same night. On Saturday morning he leaves here for New York for the purpose of reviewing the parade of business men, returning to Al bany Saturday night. Gov. Cleveland will go to Buffalo to vote, and will return to the capitol Tuesday night, receiving the returns of the election at the Execu tive Chamber. THE NEW HAVEN PROGRAMME. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 29. —Goy. Cleveland will review a State parade in this city to-morrow afternoon. He will leave Albany in tbe morning for Pitts field, Ma 9 , and will take the Hoosatonic Road to Bridgeport, and come deuce via the New York, New Haven and Harilord Road to this city'. Low Water on the Chattahoochee. Eufaula, Ala., Oct. 29.—Passengers for the lower Chattaboocliee river have to come from Columbus via Eutaula to Fort Gaines, boats being unable to proceed above there. Clerk Ed. Sheppard, of the Hays, was soill when the steamer reached Fort Gaines that a telegram was sent to Columbus to send someone to fill his place. He passed through here this after noon en route to his home in Columbus, Capt. Walter Fry meeting him on tho way to occupy his place. SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1884. DEFALCATION AT AUGUSTA. President O. T. Jackson, of the Enter prise Mills, 960,000 to 9100,000 Short. Auglsta, Ga., Oct. 29.—For several days past there have been rumors afloat of a heavy defalcation on the part ol George T. Jackson, President of the En terprise Cotton Factory, and a committee was appointed to investigate the books of the company. Jackson confessed to de falcation, but cannot give the amount. He claims all responsibility for the deficit. Enough is already known from the inves tigating committee, however, to state that the defalcation is over $60,000 and may reach SIOO,OOO. The money, it is stated, was lost in various operations. Notwith standing the defalcation, the company is reported to be solvent, and the mill will continue to run until the stockholders’ meeting on Nov. 8. The matter creates general surprise, as Jackson has been one of the most prominent and public-spirited of Augusta’s citizens. It will be several days before the full amount of the defalcation is known. The loss in running the Enterprise Mill and the defalcation will together amount to SIBO,OOO. These losses will make the mill as it stands cost the stockholders, in round numbers $1,000,000. It is capital ized at $500,000 in st< ck and first mortage bonds to the amount of $250,000. The mill cost, when finished, over SBOO,OOO. The developments have created a sensa tion. VERDERY A CO. FAIL. M. J. Verdery A Cos., brokers, of this city, have failedi Their liabilities are not stated. They were rated at from SIO,OOO to $20,000. JUDGMENT CONFESSED. Bloomington, 111., Oct. 29.—Har wood Bros. & Cos., wholesale hardware dealers, confessed judgment last evening and the Sheriff took possession of their place. The liabilities are about SIOO,OOO and the assets $50,000. FAILURE IN DRY' GOODS. St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Lyon & Sou, deal ers in dry goods and gentlemen’s furnish ing goods and notions, have assigned to Meyer Jacoby. The liabilities are about $60,000, and the assets about $50,000. GRESHAM’S SUCCESSOR. Republicans Look upon His Doctrines as Too Democratic. Washington, Oct. 29.—The Blaine Re publicans do not like the appointment of Secretary McCulloch. They say very truthfully that on the tariff question he is as much of a tree trader as Cleveland, and his appointment seems to take the edge off of Blaine’s protection argument. The President simply smiles. Secretary McCulloch’s tariff views are not distaste ful to him. The commission of Mr. McCulloch was signed by President Arthur yesterday afternoon, and mailed to Raritan, N. J., to be countersigned by the Secretary of State. Consequently it can hardly be re ceived by McCulloch before this evening or to-morrow morning, and as he cannot qualify before he receives his commis sion, he will not enter upon the discharge of his duties as Secretary before to-morrow. He paid a short visit to the Treasury Department this morning, and conversed with Secretary Gresham on the affairs of the department. While Judge Gresham is nominally Secretary of the Treasury, to-day he is not acting as such. The mail Is being signed by Assist ant Secretary French as Acting Secretary. Gen. Gresham will remain iu Washing ton for a few days to close up his private affairs, and will take his seat upon the bench in Chicago about the middle of next week. THE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT. Brig. Gen. Benet Submits the Annual Report to the Secretary of War. Washington, Oct. 29.—Brig. Gen. S. V. Benet, Chief of Ordnance of the United States army, has submitted to the Secre tary of War his report of the operations of the Ordnance Department during the past fiscal year. The report refers to the condition of our seacoast defenses as being a matter of grave concern, calling for immediate action, and recommends a liberal and permanent annual appropria tion fbr them. He urges Congressional action to relieve the War Department from the difficulties under which it now labors in attempting to secure suitable material for gun construction, aid recommends the passage of the bill pending in Con gress relating to the formation ol militia organizations. The report details the various experiments made during the year in the manufacture of ordnance, with the multicharge gun and various high explosives, and concludes with a statement that should Congress, after a full investigation and consideration, de termine on appropriations liberal enough to encourage the manufacture ot gun steel and to procure a plant for gun factories for the proper and speedy armanent of our coast defenses, the country can rest se cure in the belief that this department, through the labors of its officers, will at tain the same prominence in this regard that it held twenty-five years ago. AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Work on tlie City Sewers—Result of the Fulton County Primary Election. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29.—This evening the street force was reduced to thirty-six men, thereby throwing seventy-five out of employmeut. Much work has been done on the street sewers this year, fully $300,000 worth. Considerable work now under way must be finished. The year’s work is being closed up. The work can be completed with a reduced force. E. H. l’ughe, a well known printer of Savannah, writes that he knew Dr. George W.

A HERO KILLED AT A FIRE CHICAGO THE SCENE OF A THRILLING CONFLAGRATION. Having Led all His Handglnto Safety the Foreman Returns to Make Sure that None were Left Behind-*Cut oft' by the Flames He Attempts to Descend by a Rope which Breaks and He Is Dashed to Pieces—Other Fires. Chicago, Oct. 29.—A large brick build ing situated on the southeast corner of La Salle and Michigan streets, the lower floors of which were occupied by hide dealers and the upper part by Fisher’s cigar box factory, caught fire about noon and was completely gutted. One man was killed by jumping from a window and two others were smothered on the stairs. Factory girls on the upper floors escaped with the greatest difficulty. The loss will reach $106,000. The building was owned by Mr. Culver, of Culver, Page & Hayne, and was a five-storv struc ture occupied by Schnabel & Cos., barbed wire manufacturers, the Campbell Print ing Press Company, Danheizen Bros., chewing gum manufacturers, and W. E. Fisher, cigar box manufacturer. The latter was "on the top story and employed 21 men and 18 girls. The foreman of Ahe 6hop, James Carr, got all of the 37 souls together In good order and coolly led them to the tire-proof stairs and Jaiely to the ground. CARR DASHED TO PIECES. Troubled with doubt as to whether any were left behind, Carr quickly returned to the fifth story, but re mained a few moments too late. The flames cut off every avenue of escape. He hurried to the roof, and amid wild excitement of thousands ot people he was thrown a rope from a building on the opposite side of the street, and mak ing the line fast he commenced his peril ous descent, while the firemen held a heavy tarpaulin beneath as a precaution. Suddenly the rope snapped under the man’s weight or was burned by a burst of flames, and Carr’s body shot downward headforemost, and to "the horror ol the crowd of people went directly through the tarpaulin and he was picked up lrom the street with his neck broken and mangled almost beyond recognition. Another thrilling scene was taking place at the fire escape from the chewing gum factory. Eighteen young girls, panic stricken, came down pellmell, and when 25 feet of the ground the last eight jumped to the pavement, falling in a contused heap. Fortunately only three of them were se riously injured. They received painful cuts and bruises. A BAINBRIDGE SAW MILL BURNED.

Scores of Lives and Many Vessels Lost In the Pacific. San Francisco, Oct. 29.—The follow ing further particulars of the storms on the coast of Lower California were learned this morning. The news was brought here by the Captain of the steamer New burn, from Guaymas. He says that the steamer Estado de Sonora left Mazatlan, Sept. 29. The first storm broke out on the following day. It raged with such terrific fury that the Estado was unable to put back, and it is supposed that she rolled over and went down with 57 souls on board. Nothing whatever was after wards heard of the passengers or crew. Oct. 14 the Newburn passed a large quan tity of wrecked stuff near the entrance of the Gulf of California. Among it was a pilot house, mast with the band attached, and a lot of brass work which had been picked up by the natives of the San Jose Islands. identification impossible. They had stripped off all the wood part and burned it, leaving only the brass work. Tnere were no marks on any of these, but it is believed that they were all from the wrecked steamer. Some of the brass work was sent to Guaynias for the purpose of identifying it. The Estado was commanded by Capt. Rode, a nephew of Capt. Charles Wilson, formerly Danish Consul in this city. The second storm began Get. 22 and lasted several days. It was even more violent than the first one. The particulars received are from Cape St. Lucas. There was such a tremendous sea run ning that the Newburn was unable to reach the cape. She passed through fields of loose candles, believed to have been part of the cargo of the schooner Dora. Out of the small coasters only one has been heard of. A small sloop, whose name is unknown, had five souls on Imard, two of whom were saved, a young hoy, son of Mr. Greenmonger, at Cape St. Lucas, and a sailor. The latter held the boy 16 hours in his arms in the water. Of 9 schooners lost 4 were the San Fablo, Pedro, Cesne and Antonio. The names of the other 6 are unknown. THE SUGAR INDUSTRY. Frof. Wiley Reports a More Favorable Seasou In the North than Fast Year. Washington, Oct. 29.— From advance sheets of the report of Prof. H. W. Wiley, Chemist of the Department of Agricul ture, the following facts, relating to the Northern sugar industry are taken: Sorghum. —The season lias been more favor able than the preceding one and the yield of sugar greater, nevertheless the total yield of the year is not likely to exceed 1,500,000 pounds. The yield of syrup is about the same as last year, viz.: 30,000,000 gallons. There is no immediate prospect of sorghum sugar be coming an important factor in the markets of the country. Sugar Beet.— Sugar beet continues to pros per in California. The factory at -Vlvardo had a good season and made a large quantity of sugar. This is now the only beet sugar factory in the United States, The ou.look is more hopeful for sugar beet than for sorghum. The department, however, is hopeful of the Anal success of both. Louisiana Cane. —The department has estab lished a laboratory in Louisiana to study the chemistry of sugar manufacture, it being thought that planters may receive rjiUvh help and ipauy valuable suggestions from careful chemical supervision of the different processes of manufacture. The crisis in the sugar industry of the world, I rof. Yv lley sayr, is felt with peculiar effect in this country. New methods of manufac ture will have to be introduced if prices re main as they are or the sugar industry of the county Will languish. The yield in Louis iana iliis season will probably be below tlie average. EVOLUTION DISCOUNTENANCED. South Carolina's Presbyterian Synod Al lows Only its Expository Teaching. Charleston, 8. C., Oct. 29.—The Pres byterian of Synod South Carolina at Green ville ha 9 been engaged several days In a discussion of the Darwinian theory of evo lution. The issue arose from the fact that Dr. Woodrow, a professor in Columbia Theological Seminary, with the avowed purpose of fortifying young ministers in scientific knowledge, had set lorth the theory of evolution "in a lecture, express ing his own belief in if in a modified form, and declaring it not inconsistent with Scriptural teaching. The discussion ot Dr. Woodrow’s position was warm and spirited, most of the leading divines of the synod participating. A settlement of the question was reached last evening by the adoption ol the following resolution: fieeolred. That in the opinion of the Synod the teaching of evolution in the Theological Seminary at Colnmbia,except iu a purely ex pository manner with no |n;cf.t,Qn of incul cating its truth, is herebvjdwapproved. This was carried by GO yeas to 45 nays. Negro Troubles In south Carolina. Augusta, Ga., Oot. aft.— At Parkes ville, 8. C., on Sunday last there was a white church dedication. It is reported that colored men disturbed the service by firing pistols. The bad feeling aroused by this aotfon continued until to-day, when it culminated in the killing of Joseph Blackwell, an officer wbQ waa at tempting to make arrests, by a volley fired by negroes barricaded in a house. Great excitement exists and further violence is anticipated. Gov. Thompson has been advised of the situation. T*llow Fever tn Mexico. Wasaington, Oct. 29.—The Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service has received information that yellow fever has again broken out on the west coast of Mexico in most malignant form.

BLAINE AT A BANQUET. Prominent Monopolists of the Metropo lis Dine the Republican Candidate. New Y'ork, Oct. 29.—The dinner given Blaine at Delmonico’s to-night by citizens fot New Y*ork was a brilliant affair. Among those present were William M. Evarts, who presided, Cyrus W. Field, Levi P. Morton, Charles E. Coon, Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury. ex-Senator Platt, William H. Robertson, Jesse Seligman, Whitelaw Reid, D. O. Mills, George Bliss, J. D. Vermilye, Cornelius N. Bliss, E. H. Merritt, Lloyd Aspinwall, Andrew Carnegie, John Jay Knox, John Roach, B. F. Jones, Russell Sage, Attorney General Brewster, Jay Gould, Walker Blaine, Charles Emory Smith and Emmons Blaine. Mr. Blaine was escorted to the post ol honor bv Hon. Wm. M. Evarts and Cyrus W. Field, and took bis seat amid cheering. The room was elaborately decorated and the tables were laden with rare plants. When the guests were seated, grace was said by Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field. At 9:40 o’clock p. m. ex-Secretary Evarts rapped tor order, and in a long speech introduced Mr. Blaine. The guest of the evening was greeted with cheers. He thanked those present for their reception, which he said he felt was given him only as a representative of the principles which they held in common with him. He said that it was fitting that the metropo lis, 70 per cent, of the entire property of which had been acquired since the inaugura tion of Lincoln, should lead in the expression of views on iinjxmaut questions to be decided on Tuesday next. HIS VIEWS OF A CHANGE. He dwelt upon the importance of the manu factoring interests of New York city and State, and said: “Though it is usually thought that a change of government means but little, it is worth while in remember that the United States is proceeding to-day upon a given basis of public policy. It has a great finan cial system, a great currency system, an im portant national credit, a levying of duties so adjusted that the iudus tries of the country are favored and encouraged thereby. It has *,hree important constitutional amendments ttiat grew out of the war, upon which great issues hang.” He asked: “Are we to understand if we should ba invited to step down and out and our oppo nents to step up and in that these policies are to be reversed. If we are to so understand we should one and all prepare for a great dis aster." Continuing, Mr. Blaine asked them to re member that the repeal of ten lines in the na tional banking act would restore to vitality and vigor the old State hank system. That if the present, policies of the government are to be reversed they win have to recast their accounts and review their ledgers and pre pare for anew, and what he might term a dangerous departure. A PEACEFUL FOREIGN POLICY. Speaking of foreign relations, he said that it is the safeguard of tlie republic; that in defensive war it can defy the world, but in his judgment it lias before it a great duty whicli will make its pre>ent profound peace permanent, and will abolish war on this con tinent. He indicated that this dutv was the bringing about of a peace congress of the American nations. “All the independent powers of North and South America,” he said, “are ready to agree to a settle ment of any differences by arbitration.” Coming to another branch of his subject, Mr. Blaine said: “The Republican party is not on trial to-day. In its 28 years of rulership it has advanced the inteiests of this country far beyond that of any of its predecessors in power. It is not arrogant when it claims the credit of organizing and maintaining the in dustrial system which enabled the country to make its marvelous progress of the past years.” He spoke of the Republican party as now united. He was sure that factional strife within it had ceased, and was equally sure that New Y ork, looking to the future, cannot afl'ord to reverse, and will not reverse, the great policies of government upon which it lias grown and advanced from glory to glory. On tne conclusion of Mr. Blaine’s speech the company adjourned to the uarlors, where Mr. Blaine held on informal levee. AMERICA’S ABORIGINES. Commissioner Price Reports on their Enlightenment and Needs. Washington, Oct. 29.— Hiram Price, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has just made his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior of the operations of that bureau during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1884. He prafaces the report with a statement that more Indians are living in houses and fewer in trees than there were one year ago, and that more are cultivating the soil and fewer following the cha-se; that there are more in carpenter, blacksmith and other mechani cal shops trying to earn an honest living ami fewer at the war dance, scalp dance and sun dance; that there are several hundred more Indian children in industrial, agricultural and mechanical schools, fitting themselves to become useful and intelligent citizens than there were twelve months since, and that during the same period many In dians have, with the proceeds of their own labor, purchased improved machinery, agri cultural implements, and are making great headway. He says that tlie Indian appro priation is too small, if it is expected lo traus iorm the Indians from being wild, roving no mads into peaceable, industrious and self supporting citizens in any reasonable time. inadequate punishment. He complains of tie inadequate punishment of offenders against the law forbidding the sale of liquor lo Indians, and says that the penalty should be made not less than S3OO fine and not less than two years’ imprisonment. He adds that the Indians themselves complain of the government allowing white men to furnish liquor to their people, and in some cases do ail in their power to cure this evil by severely punishinz their own people who in dulge in the use of intoxicating liquors. Con siderable space in the report is devoted to a statement of the pressing necessity for a law providing for the puuishmeut of .crimes and offenses among the Indians themselves, and in connection with this subject the Commis sioner calls attention to ttie'importan'ce of es tablishing a United States Court in Indian Territory, in accordance with treaty stipula tions. School work is aso reviewed at length and statistics liberally furnished. The Com missioner says that the value of day schools among ihe Imiiaus ia proven, and that for iiO.OOO Indians their establishment is virtually required by treaty stipulations. Some pro gress is being made toward compulsory edu cation, it having been successfully tfied at four agoncli.*s, >* mpuuiun at two taking the form of withholding rations, and at others of withholding annuity payments. A large portion of the"report is devoted to a discussion of attempted settlement* by whites in Indian Territory, and vhe*commissioner says iimt recommendations have repeatedly been trade for an amendment of the laws re lating to trespassers on Indian lands so as to make such offenses punishable by Imprison meet, as well as by fine, and that without the passage of some stringent law of this kind in truders can only be kept out by troops. Should they at any time be temporarily withdrawn for any purpose the Territory wha! j he rapid ly overrun, ALASKA'S UNKNOWN KIVER. Ll6ut.

New York. Oct. 29.— This morning the gentlemen’s parlor ot the Fifth Avenue Hotel was filled with clegymen of various denominations, gathered to meet Air. Blaine and formally express their re spects. Rev. Dr. James King, of the Eighteenth Street M. E. Church, called! the assembly to order. Rev, Dr. Burehard, of the Murray Hill Presbyterian Church, was chosen Chairman, and Rev. Dr. Mc- Arthur Secretary. Rev. Dr. King then presented resolutions which declared in substance that they believe that a triumph of the principles of the Re publican party is essential to tlie welfare of the country and to the preservation of the re sults of the late civil slrife, and consequently that the election of its representatives in the persons of Hon. J. ti. Blaine and Hon. J. A. Logan is imperative; that they believe in the purity of the personal character of those standard bearers, in their capacity as states men to meet the claims of the high offices for which they are in nomination; that thev pro test against the coronation of a conceded per sonal impurity as represented by the head of the Democratic ticket, aud regard such nomi nation for the Presidency of the republic as an insult to Christian civilization; that they are oposed to putting a premium on disiovaltv as represented by the candidate for Vice Pres ident of the Democratic party. ST. JOHN OPTOSKD. That they desire to exhort all well meaning and loyal citizens, regardless of part.-, when purity is at stake, not bv voting for the Pro hibition candidate to cast a half vote for the Democratic candidate with a semi-election of impurity and dissipation, nor to cast a whole vote for a man who is now a conspicuous synonym of incapacity and incontinencv, but to cast one vote for virtue in the home,tor pro tection of the rights of the humblest citizens at home and abroad, for protection for American industries, for the settle ment of international differences by arbitration, for war against polygamy, for decent treatment of the Indians, for tlie preservation of the results of the war of the revolution and rebellion, for every sacred interest of the country, by voting the Re publican ticket at the ensuing national elec tion. Mr. Blaine came down to meet the clergy men iu the corridor leaning on the arin of Rev. Dr. King, while Minister Levi P. Morton, Walker Blaine, Mrs. Blaine and her daughters were on the landing above. Dr. Burehard addressed Mr. Blaine, welcoming him. He said that those present were Blaine’s friends, notwithstanding the calumnies that have been urged in the papers against him, and expect that he w ill ho President of the United States, and that he will do honor to his name, to the United States, and to the high office. THEY WERE REPUBLICANS. He said: “We arc Republicans and don’t pro pose to leave our party to identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism and rebellion. We are loyal to our llag. We are loyal to you.” A number of other ministers ihen spoke,after whom Mr. Blaine replied. He spoke of the as semblage as being remarkable beyond any of which he has known in the history of political contests in the United States. lie was very deeply impressed by it, he said, aud felt that he was speaking to great congregations and great religious openings that was behind them, and that he realized the full weights of the influence they had tendered him. The Republican party from its very outset stood upon the impregnable platform of opposition to the extension of human slavery, and it stood on that platform till it was drifted by the hostility it provoked into a large association of national sover eignty, and thence into a bloody conflict to maintain it. From that onward lie defied any man to point to a single measure of the Re publican party which could not challenge the approbation of Christian ministers and the approval of God. HIS TARIFF STAND. Alluding to the statement that he narrowed the issue when he spoke of it coming down to a question of tariff, he explained that when he had spoken of the tariff as tlie conclusive issue that he had meant its step3 to the front—not in the exclusion of a thousand im portant issuep, but for tins critical occasion, und stands forth as that issue which repre sents bread to the hungry and clothing to the naked and is therefore a ma terial issue, distinct and separate from great moral Canes, because you cunnot impress a man if he is hungry with any thought than that he shall be fed; if he is naked, with any other thought than that he shall he clothed; aud, therefore, that public policy and that statesmanship is the highest and best that attends to the | rirnal needs of human nature first, ami says here is bread for tlie hungry, here is clothing tor the naked, and a tariff which protects labo-ers, tlie American capitalist in bis investments, the inventive talent of Vhf> country’in Us enter prise—an isshe which lies at the foundation of the prosperity of the American people aud tlie very foundation of the success ot theUhristian religion. An Ardent Canine Fisherman. Rutherford, N. J., Oct. 26.—William Farrell, of this village, has a blooded liver and white pointer dog Vf’qicu has de veloped great fondness for fishing, and he fishes with such skill that the family have been furnished with several messes of grass pike and catfish. The discovery of this accomplishment was made ty a member of the family one day last week. The dog, whose name is Duke, was missed from the house, and, after a long search, was found stand ing flank deep in a mill pond near the house. The pond is fail of catfish and grass pike, anu the long dry spell has left the water quite low. When discovered the dog was pointing at something in the water, and suddenly thrust his head be neath the surface. When he withdrew it he held in his mouth a large catfish. He came ashore with it and laid it on the bank, where he had already deposited four others. He then went back, and in a short time had captured three grass pike jn the same manner. Since then Duke will fish whenever he ig permitted to, and is al wa,.yg aager to get into the water and ex ercise his skill. Franco-Cliineae Affairs. London, Get. 29.—Official advices from .

BETTING ON THE EMMHION." • Investments that Have Been MaUe’on' the Presidential Struggle. “There has been a good deal of betting on the general result of the Presidential election ever since the nominations were made,” said Mr. James E. Kelly, of Messrs. Kelly & Bliss, Monday evening to a New York Herald reporter, “but the majority of the early speculations were made in a ‘hurrah’ sort of way, and they did not indicate the drift of public opin ion, perhaps, as much as the wagers made more recently. Within the past 10 days more betting has been done daily in New York than took place in a week Immediately after Blaine and Cleveland were put in the field. Everybody now seems to have caught the disease—from the man who can only afford $5, to the man who puts up thousands. Well, our firm has placed about $60,000 already for its customers. This amount is bet in many ways. For instance, we were commissioned to make the following bets: SI,OOO to SBOO that Cleveland carries New York State. SI,OOO to S7OO that Blaine is elected and $2,800 to S4,IKK) that New Jersev goes tor Blaine. “Our books show, among others, that the following investments have been made: $2,000 even Cleveland against Blaine. $2,500 even that Cleveland carries New York State, $4,000 to $5,000 that Cleveland is elected, and about a dozen bets of SI,OOO even on Cleveland. There is much interest among sporting and bet ting men throughout “the United States regarding the probable results in this State, and enormous sums have already been staked and will be during the week on this issue. It is harder to“ find men now willing to bet on the general result than It was two weeks ago.” WHAT A HOTEL MAN SAYS. “1 am a tavern keeper, not a politician,” remarked the proprietor of a large down town hotel where crowds congregate dur ing the day, “but for all that I have seen a good deal of betting on the election, and I am bolding a good deal of the ‘boodle.’ The betting one month ago was iu favor of Cleveland. He had the call, SI,OOO to $750 or thereabouts, and bets were made that way. Then there was a turn, and for two or three weeks the Blaine men grew confident, and were bold and ag gressive. I hold thousands of dollars. Some of the bets are very large. I won’t say how much. Men I do not know have come to me to hold their money. I made them all put their business in w riting, for you can bet I don’t want to be left on the day of settle ment. Since Friday the Cleveland men have bet their money freely on this State. There is something in the air. I don’t know what it is. One thing is certain, Cleveland had the call in this State to day. Two bets were made in my presence this afternoon and I hold the money. The first was SI,OOO even that Cleveland would be tbe next President, and the sec ond, of the same amount, that Cleveland would carry this State. “Yes, things will be hot in a day or two, and you can just bet somebody is going to lose a pile of money, and I think I can guess who’s who. ‘Stand from under!’ will be the cry one week from Wednes day. ON THE STATE. The Mahoney Brothers, book makers, have wagered $26,000 or $30,000 on New York State, betting that Cleveland will carry it. Their last bet was on Friday or Saturday, when they laid a Louisville gentleman $5,000 to $4,500 that this State would go Democratic.
