Marietta Journal: Just over the counlv
line, in Paulding county, lives Mr. Manning
Phillips. He has a well 45 feet deep, walled
up vvnh rock 40 feat. He could get no one to
fro down in it to finish the work desired, until
' oiday, when Mr. James Poes, a fear
less, able-bodied fellow, said he wasn't afraid
to go in the old well. A rope was fastened to
his body and he was lowered nearly to the
liottom, when those standing around the well
on top of terra firma heard a rumbling noise
and were horrified to see the rock wall and
dirt tumbling in u]>on the living man in the
denths below. There came up a faint cry for
help. His audible voice invoked the presence
and prayers of the preacher. The holy man
of Go 1 replied, “Pit do what I can for you,
Jimmie.” And thus completely walled in
with rock above him, below him and around
a’ out him, be was unable to move his body,
but managed to get his band to his mouth and
push the dirt away. The rope around his
body was cutting him fearfully. The men
above thoughtlessly tugged away at the rope
and. were a out to pull him in twain. He suc
ceeded in getting his knife out of his pocket
a’d severed the rope tuat bound him. The
men worked for dearlife in removing the rock
and dirt and to rescue Mr. l’oss from lus
suffocating tomb. For s*ven hours and a half
lie was thus imprisoned. When he was
reached he was almost unconscious, but the
fresh air soon revived him. He thanked God
and his rescuers for deliverance, and said he
went down iu that well a wicked man, but
from henceforth he would lead a different
life. “All's well that ends well.”
Americas Rec-nUr: Monday afternoon
Sheriff swindle, of Mitchell county, and Col.
C. <>. liavis came up from Camilla for the
pur|*e of attaching Doris’ circus. It was the
vt Holing up of the trouble w hich occurred on
the cirrus trafb between Thomasville and
Albany, when some twelve or fifteen negroes
were thrown off the train by the white em
ploye.*. One of the negroes thrown off died
from his injuries, another is in the Mitchell
county poor house, ami nine others who
were injured are being cared for by the
Mitchell and Dougherty county authori
ties. The negroes entered siiil against
Doris for 124,000 damages through their at
torney. Col. C. O. Davis. An attachment
was levied on the circus property by Hu-riff
'vvindle Monday afternoon, and it began to
look as though the show would quarter here
for a time. Doris claimed he had a right to
l*oint out the property to be attached, ami
wan to I Swindle to take his elephant and
hyenas, vvnich the Sheriff politely declined.
The matter was finally compromised by Doris
paying about *3OO damages. .Sheriff Swindle
also had warrants for a couple of white
in. u iielonging to the circus, but when
they were looked for it was found
they had -kipped. Mr. Doris claimed the
trouble grew out of a row between some of
the white and colored hands in Thomasville,
and w hile the show was on its way u* Albany
the troublesome negroes were ejected from
the train by the white men. The negroes say
that the circus was due them wages, and after
they had requested a settlement some white
men threw ihcm off the train to get rid of
them after which they sued for damages and
had an attachment served on the concern.
The matter was adjusted, ami the circus
pulled out Monday night.

tion of any sort, in accordance with Gov.
Cleveland’s expressed desire.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT PITTSFIELD.
PiTTSFiELb. Mass., Oct. 30.—1 t having
been learned this morning that Gov. Cleve
land would pass through here en route from
Albany, via die llousatonic Railroad, to New
llaven, though by many the rei>ort was con
sidered to lie unfounded, more than 1,000 per
sons were at the depot to meet him. The
Governor’s stay here of half an hour was
celebrated by' cheering, music ami can
nonading. Twenty-five citizens of New
llaven, including Congressman Mitchell,
Mayor Lewi*, and other prominent men, met
the Governor at this place, and the Selectmen
of the town and leading Democrats were his
escort from the Boston and Albany cars to a
special train on the llousatonic Railway. It
was with difficulty that a way was made for
him through the throng. He seemed greatly
pleased by the reception, which was entirely
unexpected. When introduced by George N.
IMitton of the Berkshire Independent Asso
ciation as the next President, his attempt to
speak was defeated by the cheering crowd.
He appeared on the platform of the car anil
bowed his thanks to the enthusiastic crowd.
Everybody went through the car shaking his
hand. The train moved off with bands
playing, cannons firing and great cheering.
A BIG CROWD AT GREAT BARRINGTON.
Canaan, Conn., Oct. 30.—At Great Bar

1 looming of cannon and the cheers ot the vast
assemblage.
A CONTINUOUS OVATION.
New Milfokii.ctnn., out. 30.—Great crowds
gathered at Canaan Fail*, West Corn well, and

THE ARRIVAL AT BRIDGEPORT.
Bripohobt, Conn., Oct. 30.—Gov. Cleve
land arrived in this city by special tram at
4:20 o'clock this evening, in company with
delegates from New llaven and Bridgeport.

UNPARALLELED EXCITEMENT.
New Haven, Conn . Oct. 30.—1n tniscity
ram had fallen heavily throughout the day.
All the arrangements for ihe day hail been
completed, but they ended after all iu total
cancellation. At 10 o’clock i:i the morning all
idea of a parade had been given up. At the
l nion depot at 2o'clock crowds began to pour
in. At 3 o’clock over 3.000 people surged in
ami out of the depot awaiting Gov. Cleveland's
arrival. Despite the heavy down-pour ttie
multitude pressed upon the platform,and when
positive news of Gov. Cleveland’s arrival at
Bridgeport was received, the excitement of
his drenched admirers visibly increased. The
special train left Bridgcuort at 5:15 o’clock,
tut the announcement ot this fact was made
only to be followed by bogus telegrams,
stating that bad weal her would prevent t lie
Governor’s arrival. But the crowd *t the de
pot would not be disappointed, and us pu
licnce met its reward. The special train
from Bridgeport rolled into the depot some
momenta before ti o’clock. There was a strug
gle for pos’l'ons of advantage. Sober and
citizens cheered themselves hoarse in a
mad rush. The crowd was practically be
yond control. The enthusiasm was almost
frenzic 1. Inside the depot, even the luncli
counters were appropriated for standing
room, and all the while an army of hacks loic
down from the city's centre and deposited
fresh additions to the welcomes.
MR. CLEVELAND ALIGHTS.
When the police had cleared a passage way
Gov. Cleveland descended from lrs train.
Cheer after cheer echoed through the depot,
and struggle to get a glimpse of the Governor
was renewed by men wild with enthusiasm.
Gov. Cleveland, with Col. Lamont and Gen.
Farnsworth of liis stall’, was followed to his
carriage by ex-Governors Charles It. lugersoll
and J. K. r.nglish, ex-Mavor J. it. Robertson,
Congressman Charles L. Mitchell, Alexander
Troup, and a score of other prominent Demo
crats, and driven at once to the New llaven
House, where supper was served. It was
finally decided to hold a reception at the City
Hall. Here at 7 o’clock the corridors were
filled with ail audience such as lias
been rarely seen in New Haven.
The committee in charge could hardly keep
back the surging tide of enthusiastic human
ity. Soon the familiar face of New York’s
Governor was seen on the stairs. The cheers
which went up were deafening. From the
lloor to the vau ted roof the cry of wel
come broke forth again and again. The
crowds pressed forward, and were marshaled
one by one and passed by the visitor. Some
of them were allowed to press his hand.
Some were not. So anxious was each man in
the crowd to get a chance to see the Governor
that order could not he enforced for some
time, and it wa* only when a squad of police
arrived that hand-shaking was made com
paratively easy.
CLEVELAND'S ARM LAME FROM SHAKING.
At 8:30 o’clock the torture ceased, and the
Governor, his forehead covered with perspira
tion, was escorted into the Mayor’s office and
allowed to sit down. He complained of the
strain to which he had been subjected. “My
arm,” he aa.d. with a smile, “is slid from this
cordial handshaking. I will certainly carry
away with me a good opinion of New Haven’s
strength. If you Democrats vote like you
shake hands there can be no resisting you.”
Urief introductions followed, Mayor Lewis
doing the honors of his office. When the City
Hall was comparatively cleared a band which
had been playing a> frequent intervals formed
in front of the building, and hundreds of
citizens, despite the rain and mud, formed
into an escort to attend Gov. Cleveland on
his way to the Bridgeport train. It was ab
solutely impossible lor the Governor
to make the briefest of speeches
during his visit to New Haven.
After supper, at the New Haven House, the
Governor had liecu driven at once to the City
Had. From the moment that he entered the
building until his carriage rolled away the
noise of cheers repeated and the music of
bands would have prevented an address or
response to the magnilicent ovation which
hsii been offered. The escort of citizens ar
co iipauied Gov. Cleveland to the Union depot.
Tlie large crowd at the depot on his arrival in
the city, the multitude which occupied the
street and platforms and surged out upon the
rails at his departure was still larger and
still more enthusiastic.
AGAIN AT BRIDGI’ORT.
Bridgeport, Conn., Oct, 30. 11:50.p.m.—Gov.
Cleveland returned here from New Haven at
about it o'clock, aud was at once escorted to
the Atlantic House by Chairman W. 11. Bar
nutn, where a rest of nearly an hour was
taken. Notwithstanding a severe northeast
storm a crowd of several hundred persons ac
companied the Governor to the hotel. A large
gathering had assent 1 led at the reception hall
long before Gov. Cleveland’s arrival in the
i ity, ami was addressed by local speakers.
Shortly before 10 o’clock Gov. Cleveland and
his companions came on the stage amid im
mense enthusiasm, and Mr. Cleveland was in
troduced by Bernard Keating, President ol
the meeting. Gov. Cleveland said:
“I cannot forbear at such a time as this to
express the pleasure I experience in this sin
cere and heartfelt welcome that the people of
New Haven, Bridgeport and tHe State of Con
necticut have afforded me. If this welcome
was a tribute to me as an individual, I could
only express my gratitude; but when I find
that I represent an idea that is the same with
you as with me, it is with a sense of solemn
responsibility that I Stand before you.
[Cheers.]
THE WORLD’S GRANDEST SPECTACLE.
“The world has not produced so grand a
spectacle as a nation of freemen determining
its own course. In that position you stand
to-night. [Applause.] At such a time the
leader stands in a solemn position, and the
plaudits of his hearers can on ! y serve to in
crease the feeling of responsibility, ir he is a
man true to his country and to the best in

thoughts': He surveys the field of coming con

by a vast army of officeholders, long ia (lower,
rich in resources, both of money and influ
ence, but corrupt to the core. To
day they seek to control the religious
element of your country, to-morrow they
will try to gain the interest of your millionaire
magnates for the pur(ioso of raising money to
carry on their campaign. There should be no
mistake about this contest. It is an attempt
to break down the barrier lie tween the people
of the United States and those that rule them.
The people are bound down by a class of
officeholders whose business it is to make
money out of tlieir positions. If you are to go

people give us the power of government we
hold from the people a sacred trust.”
Cheer after cheer followed Gov. Cleveland’s
speech. The audience rose to their feet
in a body and hats were thrown into the air.

HENDRICKS AT HIS OLD HOME.
The Injustice of the Present Tariff
Clearly Explained to His Old Kriends.gß
Indianapolis, Oct. 30.—Gov. Hen
dricks, in accordance with his usual cus
tom in former years of addressing the
Democracy of Shelby ville, his old home,
during the lust week of the campaign,
spoke there this evening. He had been
engaged for a barbecue on Sept. 20, but
canceled it to visit Columbus, 0., much
to the regret of his old constituency. The
meeting to-day was attended by 3,000 per
sons.
In his speech he c muscled the Democracy
of Shelby county to close up their divided
ranks aud sustain hint once more by their
suffrage*, as they had in the past. He told
the people that he wahted their vote*, al
though some dudes charged that it was not
proper for him to a=k for votes. The speech
proper was devoted to three propositions,
namely, that the tariff should be limited to
the needs of the government; that the Repub
lican party by its policy had driven our carry
ing trade from the ocean, reducing it from 83
per cent to 15 per cent , and that the surplus
in the Treasury should be reduced.
REPUBLICANS CONFESS INJUSTICE.
Upon the tariff he said: “Iu their platform
the Republicans assure the country that they
will remedy the inequalities in the tariff sys
tem and remove excesses. Is that not an ad
mission that the tariff law of this country is
not equal anil that taxation is not equal upon
the people, that upon one man taxation is
higher, heavier and harder than it is upon
another? I think mi. What have they been
doing in the nineteen years that have passed
by since the close of the war and the
Republican party has been all the time
in power? Why is it that they
have come before the people and admit that
the revenue system is not equal and just?
" by is it tiiat they have to admit that there
is an excess collected through the instru
mentality of the revenue law? How much
shall the people he taxed? The answer is a
plain one. Taxation shall equal but not ex
ceed the wants of the government economi
cally administered. That is what President
Arthur said two years ago. It is what the
Democratic Convention said last July at Chi
cago.’s
isenator William*, of Kentucky, followed
Gov. Hendricks, and Judge Campbell, of Il
linois, spoke to-night.
BUTLER’S SALE TO BLAINE.
The True Story of tlie Meeting at Ports
mouth, When the Trade was Con
summated—Butler’s Evasive Denial
Exposed.
Portsmouth, N. H., Oct. 28.—0n
Saturday, July 26, Gen. Butler arrived in
Portsmouth at 10 o’clock in the forenoon,
called at the room of Postmaster Pierce
and a few minutes after took a carriage
to the navy yard landing, whence a steam
launch immediately conveyed him on
board the Tennessee, then in this harbor,
where he met Secretary Chandler, and
was closeted with him some two hours.
At 3 o’clock In the afternoon he
returned to town and took the
train westward. This was six days
before the arrival of the Greelv ships,
ami a week before ltandall came here.
Monday afternoon, July 23, Chandler left
here on the Tallapoosa for Bar Harbor,
where? he had a conference with Blaine.
Chandler and the Tallapoosa returned
here before the close of the week and
were here at the Greely reception on Mon
day, Aug. 4, on which occasion Chaudler,
Butler am) Randall were present. Alter
the reception Chandler and Butler went
to Cape Ann as per Butler’s letter, so
Chandler had seen Blaine before this sec
ond meeting with Butler. Compare the
facts with Butler’s denial of a bargain
with Blaine.
NEW JERSEY’S ATTITUDE.
Gov. Abbott Looked to to Thwart Some
Rascally Flans.
Trenton, Oct. 28. —The closing week
of the canvass in New Jersey promises to
be full of excitement. There has been for
some weeks a vague notion among Demo
crats and Independent Republicans that
the managers of the Republican national
campaign will make a desperate effort to
loosen the State from her Democratic
moorings. Never in the history of the party
has the Republican State committee been
known to' make so energeiic and earnest
canvass as that which is being made
under the leadership of ex-Senator Garret
A. Hobart. A significant circumstance
is the appointment of the Deputy
Marshals by United States Marshal
Deacon. Tde character of the ap
pointees is the thing that has drawn
special attention to the new armv of
i ifieials with whom Marshal Deacon'pro
poses to man the polls. They are, with
out exception, taken from the ranks of
Democrats who are easily influenced, or
from among the bullies who are Republi
cans. The State authorities are in con
sultation about the matter. Gov. Abbett
has the reputation of being a political
leader of great nerve, and he is looked to
for the action or lor the suggestion that
may defeat the attempt to stifle or over
come the lawful expression of the senti
meut of the State.
COLONIZERS CAUGHT.
Col. Freeman, Colored Republican, aud
Some of His Hals Held In Hail.
New York, Oet. 30.—C01. John J.
Freeman, founder of a colored Repub
lican association here, was arrested to
day, by order of the District Attorney,
on a charge of violating the election laws.
The District Attorney claims to have re
ceived information that colonization was
being carried on in the Ninth Aseemby
district. Two colored detectives were
put on the case, and after a short time
found that the work of colonization was
being carried on by Freeman, hence his ar
rest. Freeman tried to get the detectives
to register as living in the district. At
tempting to induce men to register ille
gally is a felony under the present laws.
Joseph Sands (colored), Henry Solomon,
George O. Estricher and John Stephens
were also arrested on the same charge,
indictments having been found against
them by the grand jury. They were each
held in bail for trial. Freeman was at
one time attached to the District Attor
ney’s office, and is now employed in tho
Surrogate’s office. Six arrests for illegal
registration were also made in this city
to-day.
SCIENTIFIC BUREAUS.
The National Academy of Science Favors
Consolidation.
Washington, Oct. 30.—The National
Academy of Science has recently been
considering the question of the consolida
tion of the various scientific bureaus of
the government, with a view of making a
report upon that subject to the committee
appointed by Congress at its last session
to inquire into the organization and work
ot those bureaus. The academy has pre
pared its report, and will submit it to the
committee when the latter meets in No
vember. It is understood that the report
favors the establishment of anew govern
ment department to comprise all the
scientific bureaus of the government, in
cluding the signal service, hydrographic
office, coast and geological surveys, light
house board, naval observatory, and that
branch ol the aimy engineers’ service
now employed in the improvement of
rivers and harbors.

TROUBLES OF WAGE WORKERS.
Fears of Violence at the Brake Coal
Mines in Alabama.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct, 30.—There has
been a long strike among the miners in
and around the Warrior coal field against
a reduction in the price of mining, which
has resulted in desperate feelings against
the coal operators.
Manager Clark, at the Brake mines, is
first to gain the reduction of 10 cents per
ton. Work was resumed at that place on
Oct. 22, after being idle 51 days. A posse
of 250 men made their appearance on Col.
Brake’s premises on the day work com
menced and ordered the workingmen out,
who declined on account ot’ an existing
contract signed by the committee
and half of the regular force.
Mr. Clark, in charge, anticipates
further trouble and has equipped his
men with arms to protect themselves with
iu case an attack is made. The sheriff
has been advised to hold himself in readi
ness to come with the Birmingham mili
tary should the indications mark out
dangerous intentions.
It is supposed that the trouble will
eventually be settled upon the same basis
agreed to by The J. Brake Coal Company
and their miners, which ought to be en
tirely satisfactory according tc the pres
ent outlook of affairs.

BLAINE AND HIS RIG HOUSE.
A Candidate Who Hires Labor at Cheap
Kates—Remarkable Parsimony of the
Man from Mnine— His Building Con
tractors Lose Much Money.
Washington, Oct. 28.—When Mr.
Blaine was in Ohio the fact was widely
circulated that, in a dispute with the man
who built his mansion in this city, he had
declared that $2 a day was enough for any
carpenter or journeyman, and $1 a day
for a common laborer. Blaine tele
graphed to Washington for a dental of this
assertion. Secretary McPherson, of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
drew up a flat denial of the charge, and
asked Robert T. Fleming, a builder,
to sign it. 31 r. Fleming was one
of the two referees to whom
was referred the contractor’s bill for extra
work on Blame’s residence, which was
disputed by the present candidate. Find
ing it bearing too strong a resemblance
to the more famous inclosure in the letter
Warren Fisher did uot burn, Mr. Fleming
declined to sign this ready-made denial,
on the ground that he did not know its
contents to he true. The most that Sec
retary McPherson could get was a simple
statement signed by Air. Fleming and W.
B. Gray, the other referee, to the effect
that they awarded Robert Davidson &
Cos., the builders of tlie Blaine house,
$9,783 of a disputed bill of about $15,000.
Then the Blaine managers announced
with a flourish that they had a complete
denial of all that was charged against the
man irom Maine.
The facts about the matter are these:
The Blame residence, as it stands, cost
about $65,000. One ol the referees men
tioned says ir, could not be duplicated for
less than $90,000. Davidson & Cos. hid
about $50,000 for the job. This was sev
eral thousand dollars less than any other
bid. It was made low because the princi
pal contractor had some government con
tracts on hand and hoped for favors in
that direction through Secretary of State
Blaine. He lost heavily in the transac
tion. Many changes in the plans for the
house were ordered by Blaine as the work
proceeded. For the extra material and
work thus caused a Li Ii was rendered for
about $15,000. 31 r. Blaine refused to pay
it, but finally' agreed, in writing, to abide
by the decision of Alessrs. Fleming and
Gray. These referees cut the bill down
to $9,783. This sum was made up of about
50 items. 31 r. Blaine objected to each
item, including those for the pay of car
penters and laborers, which were put by
the referees at the lowest prevailing rates
of wages. The ref rees, however, refused
to make a small allowance and he had to
yield, being bound in writing. During the
dispute one of the referees told Mr. Blaine
that if be paid the bill for extras and gave
the contractors $5,000 as a present, they
would not be getting too much for their
work, for they had lost money on the job.
Blaine replied that he had nothing to do
with the losses of tne contractors. He be
lieved be was being swindled, he added,
and he had no sympathy with the builder.
REDCOATS READY TO MOVE.

TEN YEARS IN AN ASYLUM.
The Nephew of an Earl in a Long Island
“Home.”
Judge Bartlett, in the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, Tuesday, says the New York
World, granted a writ of habeas corpus
in the application of 11. W. Leonard for
the release of Charles E. Richards, con
lined iu Dr. J. \V. Barstow’s private asy
lum for the insane at Flushing, L. 1. In
his petition Mr. Leonard says that Mr.
Richards is restrained from his liberty
and was committed without process. The
writ was made returnable on Nov. 1 at
10 a.m. Mr. Leonard is the lawyer who
secured the release of 31rs. Wiley, who
was confined in the same asylum. It is
the same institution in yvhich Henry
I’rouse Cooper was a prisoner, and is
known as Sanford Hall.
The case of Charles E. Richards is one
of special interest. He is a handsome
man, between 35 and 40 years of age, over
6 fleet tall, with sandy moustache and
beard. He has been in the asylum since
1874, and though it is claimed that he is
perfectly sane be has been kept in solitary
confinement. He comes from one of the
oldest and most respected families of
Philadelphia. Ilis father was Benjamin
W. Richards, who was Mayor of Phila
delphia in years gone by. * His mother
w T as a sister of Lord Dundas, an earl of
Scotland, who same to this
country and established n business
iu Philadelphia. His place was on the
corner o!' Chestnut and Fourteenth
streets, and was known throughout the
State. Lord Dundas never returned to
Scotland, but accumulated a fortune and
eventually died in the Quaker City. Be
fore his death his sister was married to
Benjamin VV. Richards, a representative
of one of the oldest families in the State.
Mr. Richards was very wealthy and
owned a large portion of the property
which now constitutes Fairmount Park.
This property he subsequently sold to the
city. He had four children, Benjamin
W., Jr.. Selina, Howard and Charles E.
Howard Richards is a prominent lawyer in
Philadelphia and was married to a Miss
Mayo, a niece of Gen. Scott. The only
daughter, Selina, is the wife of Gen. R.
Lawrence. A gentleman who has known
the family intimately for thirty years said
to a World reporter yesterday:
“Charley was a tall, handsome blonde
and one ol the most jovial fellows 1 ever
knew. He never, during all the time that
1 associated with him, showed any symp.
toms of insanity. The last time I saw
him was, I think, in 1869. I did not know
what had become of him until the other
day, when I was told that he was in an
asylum. I was amazed. 1 knew his
family well. Charley and his mother, who
was a sister of Lord Dnndas, spent a num
ber of years in Paris. It was’ there that
Mrs. Richards linally died. Mr. Richards
died in Philadelphia. Ho left consider
able property, which was divided
among his children. Charley was a bach
elor and spent a portion of his time in
Paris and this city. His brother, I be
lieve, considered him somewhat wild. He
had romn9 in this city. When the war
broke out I enlisted and Charley served
in the city regiment which went out from
Philadelphia. This body was composed
of a number of well-to-do young gentle
men, all of whom were tall, well-built
fellows. As 1 have said, 1 did not know
that he was in an insane asylum until the
other day.”
Mr. Leonard says that his attention
was called to the case by persons who
were connected with the asyiurn. Miss
Addie Price, who was a nurse in the in
stitution for four months, first spoke to
him of Mr. Richards. She said that she
believed him perfectly sane. Mrq, Henri
etta Wiley, whose release from the asy
lum he secured on Sept. 7, said that she
saw Mr. Kichards there. He always
acted like a perfect gentleman ami never
showed any symptoms of insanity. Mr.
Leonard says that he also leceived iutor
mation from other sources which go to
show' that the man is unjustly restrained
of his liberty. Ten years ago, he savs,
Richards quarreled with his brother in
the law office in Philadelphia. Shortly
after that he was brought to this city and
thence taken to Flushing under the pre
tense of seeing a friend. He was placed
in Ur. Barstow’s asylum without a legal
commitment, as it is claimed. Twice he
attempted to escape, but each time he
was captured la-fore he could get away
from the village. Dr. Barstow, Mr. Leon
ard says, is receiving $45 a week for
keeping Mr. Richards. As far as the
lawyer can learn there is no motive for
depriving Mr. Richards of his freedom.
The unfortunate man is worth $35,000 or
more, which was left him by his father.
The money is invested in real estate and
stocks.

Meets with a Severe Rebuke—Thieves
Plving their Trade with Considerable
Profit.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 30.—Twenty thou
sand tickets were sold to-day to the State
Fair, representing that many visitors.
The exhibition was a most brilliant suc
cess in every particular. The city is
crowded with strangers to-night and
trains continue to come heavily loaded
with human freight. To-morrow promises
to be as grand a triumph as the preceding
days. The horse races to-day attracted
thousands of spectators. Pool selling
and betting was very heavy. The first
contest was a running race for all ages
in a two-mile dash. Baritone ot Colum
bus won, with Commodore Berry second

with Dan second, Fred D. third, and Lady
Mac fourth.
The third heat Fred D. won in 2:43.
Belie B. was second. Lady Mac third, and
Dan fourth. The result of this heat
caused much surprise among the crowd,
aud some indignation, as it was evident
that jockeying was going on. During the
race it was plainly seen that Cook, the
driver of Belle 8., was holding the mare
back so as not to win the heat.
THE DRIVERS CHANGED.
The judges immediately decided that
Cook could not drive another heat, as a
lair race was desired, and they appointed
Hughes, another professional driver, to
pull the ribbons over Belle B. in the suc
ceeding heats.
The fourth heat Beile B. won in 2:44] 4 ,
with Fred L). second, Lady Mac third and
Dan fourth. Belle B.’s victory was loudly
cheered from the grand stand.

one mile and an eighth dash, purse $200;
Montgomery, entered by \V. T. Burch,
won. FJy Boy, entered by E. F. Gerst,

\V. L. Lewis, with 0 miles and 5 laps, re
tired at the second hour. H. J. Davis, of
Savannah, with 18 miles and 10 laps, re
tired at the fifth hour sick. He will
doubtless not appear to-morrow,as he has
no chance of winning the match. He had
been very sanguine that he would win the
race.
Page, with 16 miles and 4 laps, retired
at the fourth hour. Prater, with 7 miles
and 10 laps, retired at the second hour
quite sick.
CLAY PIGEON SHOOTING.

The city is filled with pickpockets and
thieves, drawn here by the fair A gen
eral bweep was made last night at the
Lanier House, eeveral Masons losing
watches and money from their bedrooms
artor they had retired. Grand Master
Davidson had a sum of money taken from
his pockets.
Two white men, strangers in Macon,
had a difficulty to-day, in which James
Mason severely stabbed Henry Jackson.
This was the only disturbance among the
great mass of people in the city visiting
the fair.
The train from Atlanta, due at Macon
this evening, did not arrive owing to the
burning ol tbe railroad track a few miles
above Barnesville. A ear load of cotton

distance.
The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons adjourned to-day to attend the
fair.
ENGLAND’S PARLIAMENT.
A Motion Adopted to Give the Fran
chise Bill Precedence Over
London, Oct. 30.—1n the House of Com
mons to-day the motion granting prece
dence over all other business to the fran
chise bill was adopted without debate.
Lord Randolph Churchill moved an
amendment to the address in reply to the
Queen’s speech, ot which he gave notice
Tuesday. This censures Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, President of the Board of
Trade, fcr inciting by his speeches inter
ference with the freedom of political dis
cussion and justifying riot and disorders.
In making the motion Lord Randolph
charged Mr. Chamberlain with moral and
direct complicity in the recent Astor
riots.
Mr. Chamberlain, in replving to Lord
Churchill, said that he did not believe the
stories that the Liberals had hired roughs
to upset the Conservative meeting at
Birmingham. He could not have pre
vented the counter demonstration, and
would not if he could. He deeply re
gretted the annoyance suffered by Sir
Stafford Northcote, who was a generous
opponent, and he promised that if he
visited Birmingham again he would have
a respectful hearing.
This evening a vote was taken upon
Lord Randolph Churchill’s amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne, censuring Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain. The amendment w T as re
jected after an embittered debate. The
vote stood 178 in favor to 214 against its
adoption. This result was received with
cheers from the Conservatives, to which
the Liberals responded with counter
cheers. The Parnellites voted with the
majority.
The Radical members of Parliament are
combining to oppose the government com
promise for the Lords or government
solving the difficulty by the creation of
Liberal peers. The aim of the Radicals is
to widen the present breach and maintain
the agitation for the abolition of the
House ot Lords.
James O’Keily, member of Parliament
for Roscommon, will retire from Parlia
ment at the present session and go to the
United States to engage in journalistic
pursuits. He was at one time connected
with the New York Herald.

Chinese Repeatedly Repulsed—Rumors
of the Acceptance of Mediation.
Paris, Oct. 30. —La Teleqraphe states
that Prime Minister Ferry has accepted
England’s offer of mediation between
China and France for a settlement of the
difficulties and differences.
An official dispatch from Gen. Briere de

garrison of Auyen Quan repulsed several
attacks of Chinese on Oct. 14 and 19,

M- Waddington, the French Ambassa

overhauling by the French fleet of English
vessels in Chinese waters was discussed.
ANOTHER POLITICAL MURDER.
A Drunken Indianian Fires Into a Crowd
of Democrats and Kills a Republican.
Vincennes, Ind., Oct. 30.— Lincoln
Keith was shot in the head by Dick At
kinson at Edwardsport last night and has
since died. Atkinson rushed out of a
saloon greatly excited and said that he
was going to kill some d—d Democrat. A
Democratic rally was being held in the
vicinity and he 6hot into a crowd ot by
standers with the above result. Atkinson
has been arrested. Keith is of an excel
lent family, all of whom are Republicans.
The feeling is intense, and it is feared
that a mob may visit the jail and lynch
the prisoner.

TENNESSEE FOR CLEVELAND.
The Republican Managers See the Ab
surdity of Hopina to Carry the State.
Nashville, Tknn., Oct. 30.—Hon.
Church Howe does not seem to have met
with a very cordial reception from the
Tennessee Republican leaders, although
his coming South was in answer to ur
gent appeals and representations made
by them. They made such positive and
persistent claims that there was an ex
cellent chance to capture Tennessee that
the National Republican Committee was
persuaded that a little “soap” judiciously
used would accomplish that much desired
object. It was not once considered ju
dicious, however, to trust the Tennessee
Republicans with any part of the national
campaign fund. Hence, the Hon.
Church Howe was deputed to es
tablish a branch of the National
Committee at Nashville, and while
placing the “soap” allotted to Tennessee
where it would do the most good, he was
expected to look after such other portions
of the solid South as might be attacked
with any hope of success. From what
can be learned he has not trusted South
ern Republicans with any considerable
sums and does not intend to do so. This
is, of course, a bitter disappointment to
Southern Republicans, and there is a
want ot the entente eordiale between
them and the lion. Church Howe, which
greatly impedes the operations of the
branch Republican Committee. I am
told that Houk and the balance of the
Republicans in Tennessee have been
heart-sick, disgruntled and disgusted
ever since the National Republican
“soap” dispenser appeared at “the lront.”
The Hon. Church Howe himself has not
been happy since his coming South. His
missionary work has been a failure. At
the very outset his address to the people
of the South fell with a dull, sickening
thud, which might have been anticipated
by any one who knew anything about
them. So far, about the only recent ac
quisition to the Republican ranks is one
Bell, who represented himself as the van
guard of the old Whig element, which
was to desert the Democratic party al
most en masse on account of its “free
trade” tendencies. It turns out that Bell
is a brother-in-law ol Judge Reid, the Re
publican candidate for Governor, and ex
pected to get a fat place of some kind in
case by accident the Republicans should
capture the State.
THE HON. CHURCH 18 THOUGHT TO HAVE
ALREADY ABANDONED
his mission practically. There is no evi
dence of his having done anything except
to send a few dozen men to Louisiana
and Florida, doubtless to drill the hordes
of United States Deputy Marshals who
are to serve on Tuesday next, and to send
a few hundred pistols to arm the deputies.
1 learn to-day, incidentally, that the
Democrats here will not be wholly un
prepared for the outrages of the Deputy
Marshals, and the moment these reputed
officials step beyond tho letter of the law
their course will lie arrested summarily.
Col. Hillsman, Secretary of the Tennes
see Democratic Executive Committee,
kindly introduced me to Mr. Anderson,
Secretary of Hon. Church Howe. 3ir. A.
appeared to be a very clever man and
was not at all backward about talking on
such topics as the crops, the resources of
Georgia, etc., but on political subjects he
was hot communicative. The only per
son 1 saw about tho Republican head
quarters, except the Secretary, was a
correspondent, of the New York Tri
bune, a very affable gentleman,
who showed a disposition to enlighten
men on the importance ot protection to
American industries. I take it that the
branch committee is only kept open now
lor appearance sake, na it would not do
to have Us failure advertised by its with
drawal from the South. It is likely that
the manager will only make another short
visit to Nashville before the election.
Hon. Church Howe is a native of
Massachusetts, and was a member of the
Sixth Regiment from that State, which
distinguished itself—or its antagonists, I
have forgotten which—in a conflict with
the mob in Baltimore the first year of the
war. After the war he went to Nebraska,
and having some means, he founded a
town, which he modestly named “Howe,”
and engaged largely in farming and stock
raising. He became quite wealthy by
the appreciation of his lands and the de
velopment of the country, and be
came also a banker in a small way.
He is what is known as a Western “hust
ler,” and is credited with great energy,
enterprise and shrewdness. He has never
been known before in national politics,
being anew member of the National Re
publican Committee, but got his title of
“Hon.” by having been for two or three
terms a member of the Nebraska Senate.
He is about 45 years old, five feet nine or
ten inches high, and has a bluff but un
candid air that does not invite confidence
or command esteem.
GOV. BATE HAS RETURNED, THE CANVASS
having ended, and nothing more is to be
done except to wait for the verdict of the
people. The Governor is in splendid trim,
and has no fears as to the result of the
election in Tennessee. He has given his
opponent, Judge Reid, a complete whip
ping on the stump nearly every day for
the past two months, and for a week be
fore the canvass closed the latter has
been too badly rattled to more than
go through the formality of speaking,
and has failed to take advantage
of his right to reply to the
Governor. Gov. Bate is a mar of more
than ordinary ability, and his adminis
tration has been singularly pure and dig
nified. He has made some enemies by
his refusal to stoop to the tricks of the
petty politician, but he will be re-elected
by from 25,000 to 40,000 majority. If Tues
day should be a fine, bright day, the latter
figure will be very near the mark. The
Democrats are greatly gratified at gains
made in East Tennessee, heretofore the
hot-bed of Republicanism, and many of
the bitterest Republicans there will ref use
to vote for Governor on account of Reid’s
Confederate record, which he abjectly
apologized for at Knoxville, and after
wards boasted of in Middle and West
Tennessee. Reed on one occasion de
nounced the Brownlow administration of
the State government, and now John
Brownlow and all the Brownlow crowd
arc in arms against him. Gov. Bate’s
principal enemies are the gamblers, and
their hostility grows out of his refusal to I
pardou one of their number who was sen- i
tenced to the penitentiary in a case in !
which they proposed to “test” the new
law in this State making gambling
a felony. As many of the leading gam
blers have left the State, the influence aud
power of this class are not near as great
as they were afe w years ago. Leading
Democrats here say that tnere would be
no doubt about Tennessee giving the
Democratic ticket 50,000 majority were it
not for the great confidence in Middle
Tennessee, which make a great many
people think it unnecessary to ge to the
polls.
GOV. BATE TOLD WE
this morning that he had no doubt about
the election of Cleveland and Hendricks.
He says we are sure of the solid South’s
153 votes, New York’s 36, New Jersey’s
9 and Nevada’s 3, which make 201,
not to mention Connecticut, Indiana,
Michigan and California, and some other
States, which the Republicans cannot
claim as sure to go for Blaine.
The hottest contest In this State is be
tween the candidates for Railroad Com
missioners. The Republican candidates
have conducted the canvass with consid
erable shrewdness, and will command the
support of some of the railroad interests,
but theijj is little doubt that they will be
beaten from 10,000 to 15,(XX) majority.
Feeble attempts have been made by the
agents of the Republicans to make divi
sions in the Democratic ranks by getting
up Butler and St. John electoral tickets,
but these candidates will get no support
worth speaking of in Tennessee. They
are not to be considered. As to Cleveland
and Hendricks, it seems to be pretty gen
erally conceded that their majority in the
State will be larger than that of Gov.
Bate, for reasons that oan be gathered
from a paragraph above. Wayfarer.
Irish Affairs.
Rome, Oct. 30. — A cable dispatch from
America stated that Bishop O’Farrell, of
Trenton, in responding to words wel
coming him home from Europe last Sun
day, said alluding to the audience which
he had with the Pope on the Irish ques
tion, that His Holiness assured him that
he felt sympathy for the Irish people, and
he hoped that they would soon be able to
free themselves from the government of
England. This statement Le Asservatoire
tfowmo pronounces absurd. It says: “It
is impossible to suppose that the Pope ex
pressed himself in such a manner con
cerning the government with which he
desires to retain the best relations.’
The Scott Law in Canada.
Toronto, Oct. SO.—'The Scott tempe
rance act was carried in the county of
Bruce by 1,000 majority, in Dufferin by
700 majority, in Huron by 1,500 majority,
in York, N. 8., on the question of repeal
by 300 majority, and was defeated in
Prince Edward by 126 majority.

Brooklyn, Oct. 30.-Mr. Blaine held
an informal reception at the Mansion
House, in this city, this afternoon, at
which hundreds of people were presented
to him. Later he was given a reception
at the Academy of .Music by the ladies of
Brooklyn, which was largely attended.
The assemblage was composed
of women, though a great tuunv men were
present. Rev. Dr. Behrends introduced
Mr. Blaine, who was warmly received,
everybody rising and cheering. Mr. Blaine
addressed the assemblage in a brief
speech, in which he dwelt upon the
strength of the influence woman wields
in polities, and upon the devotion of wo
men to the Republican cause and to tbcir
assistance to the party from its birth.
He alluded to that literature which sprang
Irom the pen of women, and did much to
concentrate that great army or lreedom,
which in the conflict that came upon the
country destroyed the institution of
slavery, and he evoked applause bv refer
ring to “that lady whose gifted pen im
parted the spirit and soul to the anti
slavery agitation when she gave to the
world ‘Unde Tom’s Cabin.’” He said
that the great moral strength which in
spired the Republican party for its strug
gles and triumphs has come trom the
gracious and pure influences of woman.
BLAINE'S OLl> HOBBIES.
Mr. Blaine addressed another large
audience at tho Academy of Music to
night, and from the Academy went to
the Grand Opera House, where he made
a speech, and thence was driven to Wil
liainsburgh, where he addressed an open
air meeting. At all three places he spoke’
on the tariff question. He held the Re
publican party up for admiration as the
champion of protection to A merican labor,
said it began its career by freeing the
slave and naturally became the champion
of free labor. The effects that would fol
low Irom a contlnuanceof the Republican
party in power, he said, were that cur
rency, now at par with gold, would be
held at that point, the system of duties
which affords encouragement and protec
tion alike to laborer and capitalist would
be maintained, a just system of settle
ment on public lands and conservation of
these lands lor actual settlers would bo
upheld, the munificent and magniticent
system of pensions which has rewarded
the fortitude and valor of our soldier,
would be retained in honorable laith,
die present encouraging improvement in
the civil services, the work of the Re
publican party, would be continued and
lurther developed, and those great amend
ment to the constitution, which are the
embodiment of w hat was gained by the
war—the emancipation of the slave, the
declaration and delinition of tho rights of
citizenship, and the guaranty ot national
credit, would be maintained with fidelity.
He warned his hearers that to place these
laws, the outgrowth of the civil struggle,
under the domination of another party,
would, if it did not destroy, seriously im
peril their Usefulness and perhaps exist
ence.
