Chattanooga, Tenn., October 11.—
During the presentation of Iltravatore by
the Emma Aboott oompany at the opera
house last night, the performance was in
terrupted by L. G. Walker, oity editor of
the Times, who appeared upon the stage,
and in the name of a large number of the
best citizens of Chattanooga, presented
Miss Abbott with a large magnificent solid
silver yacht, as a testimonial of Chatta
nooga’s appreciation of her courage
ous and well-expressed defense of
her profession ' against the bitter
denunciation of the minister at one of the
leading churches in Nashville Sunday.
The applause that followed the presenta
tion was something never before wit
nessed in the Chattanooga opera hou3c.
Miss Abbott, with a faltering voice, and
tears streaming from her eyes, made the
following reply:
“Ladies and gentlemen, or rather
friends: I cannot think ot you other than
friends. You don't, know how much my
heart is touched bv this kind token of
your approval of my course. I was pres
ent at that church at Nashvillee
by accident, but when I heard
my sister artists and myself maligned I had
to speak even if the whole church had
fallen on me. When I think of Jenny
Lind, who gave a fortune to charity; ol
Parepo Rosa, who is now in heaven; of
Charlotte Cushman; of Mary Anderson;
you and I know their lives it a refutation
o"nll the shameless slanders ho heaped
upon them. I received telegrams to day
from all parts of the United States approv
ing my course, and I feel very grateful for
this, but Chattanooga shall always have a
warm spot in my heart and I shall always
cherish this as the kindest token in my cu-
tire artistic career.

* Fever or Not.
Washington, October 11. —Surgeon-
General Hamilton to-dav received a tele
gram from Dr. King Wilie, president of
the Florida Health Protective Association,
in which he says: “Citizens of Tampa,
and some physicians, arc. dissatisfied and
deny tile existence ot yellow fever on ac
count of tbe low rate of mortality and the
peculiar condition of the patients. Many
of these citizens have had yellow fever.
They request you to order Dr. Guiterus,
of Key West, to come and
decide the question. Will you order him
to go? Passes will be furnished. The
tents you kindly odor are in Tom pa and
consequently cannot be used on quaran
tine service.” Acting upon this request a
telegram was sent to Passed Assistant Sur
geon John Guiteras, at Key West, direct
ing him to proceed to Tampa at once
to investigate the epidemic, tho nature
of which seems to be so much in doubt,
and to repeat the result of his diagnosis
to the marine hospital bureau. A tele
gram was also Sony to Deputy Collector
Spencer at Tampa, authorizing him to
rent a suitable building for tho use as a
hospital, and saying that, the supply of
disinfectants will be forwarded to that
city at once. ^

Following came carriages with local and
visiting reporters.
The party took lunch at noon at the
Minnesota club. A big crowd was. waiting
at the hotel to see the
party Btart, and everywhere along the
route were more people, women and
children predominating, in the residence
portions of the city; and everywhere Pres
ident and Mrs. Cleveland were met with
pleasant demonstrations of reBpect and
interest, which they heartily acknowl
edged. The drive was a revelation to Mrs.
Cleveland of the splendid advancement
of the city since she saw it a school
girl of 14, being only equalled by
her own brilliant deBtiny. At
Summit park, in the very heart of the
beautiful residence portion of the city,
several hundred ladies and children had
gathered, and the shrill treble of the chil
dren’s voices and the waving of dainty
handkerchiefs, oh four white horses bear
ing the presidential couple came prancing
by, made a very animated scene, which
greatly pleased and interested tho visitors.
It is t he boast of the St. Paul people that
no other city has a residence street with so
many beautiful views as Summit avenue,
and the lovely hills on which the city lies
looked their bravest this morning in their
garb of autumnal foliage. At every turn of
the broad, winding avenues were new
vistas of loveliness between the palatial
residences to the smoke-wreathed valley
and purpling hills beyond. Not many pri
vate residences were decorated, but
that of P. II. Kelly was handsome
ly adorned and a beautiful arch
spanned the street in front of it. At the
residence of Mayor Smith, the president,
Mrs. Cleveland and Gov. McGill stopped a
few minutes and partook of some light re
freshments. No other stop was made.
Mrs. Cleveland remained at Mayor Smith’s
residence after the drive, while the presi
dent was taken to the Minaesita club,
where tlie mem lors of t he club were pre
sented and an informnl but elegant, lunch
was served. Congressman Price, Gov. Mc
Gill, Judge Nelson, and two or three
others, coming down with tile gentlemen
of the president’s party. Mrs. Cleveland
was driven down to the station by Mrs.
Smith, meeting the president there at
12:30, when the start for Minneapolis was
made amid the hearty, farewell cheers of ! hud jurisdiction in the mutter in which li

Baltimore, October 11.—There was a
meeting to-day of the finance committee
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, when
the subject of dividend for the past, six
months was discussed. It was stated that
the earnings of the main stem for Septem
ber exceeded the August earnings by $120,-
C00. There was a decided increase in the
earnings cast of tho Ohio river, while tbeie
was a falling oil west of tbe Ohio, it was
determined to declare a dividend for the
past six months, blit it was not definitely
settled whether It will bo 3 or
4 per cent. Garrett was not present
and it is stated that he was not pleased
with the sale ot the telegraph because ho
believes ho cou'd have obtained a million
more for it. The matter had gone too far
now to oppose it. it Is thought, now
among the directors that tlie sleeping ear
system of the road will not be sold, at least
for some time, as the road is in good con
dition. The director stated that Gar
rett controls sufficient stock of
the road .to re-elect himself
president, but it is thought ho would not
do so in regard to the visit of Dr. Metcalf.
A close friend ot Garrett ::t ited to-day that
the visit of that gentlemen was to look at
English pheasants, of which Gafrctt lias a
number at his country place, aud the doc
tor takes an interest in them ami comes to
•see them several times a year. Tho visit
was not professional.
THE STOCK* EXCHANGE.
The Market Activo anil Strong and Price*
Higher.
New York, October 11. -To day’s stock
market was active and strong lrom the
opening almost to the close, leaving prices
materially higher than at the close yester
day. Good buying orders early appeared
in the room, and, while the boars resisted
the advance with vigor, dealings in a few
stocks were attended with jorne excite
ment, and became, to a certain extent,
feverish and irregular. Reading quickly
became the special feature by reason 1 of its
large transactions and deoiaed strength.
Union Pacific was selected by tho
bears as the special object of their
attacks, and it was forced down
over 2 per cent., but its influence on the
remainder was not of special significance.
The weak stocks of yesterday all made
material gains, though iu few coses were
losses entirely made up. Tho opening was
somewhat irregular, but generally weak,
and Now York Central was down 1 per
cent. The market was firm from the first
sales, however, and while gains were con
fined to fraotions, steady progress was
made. Union Pacifie became the one
weak spot, and in the first hour
was depressed over 1 per cent. A further
advance was brought about in the after
noon. and though a slight recession from
the best prices was made in tbe last hour,
the close was steady to firm at or near the
highest prices of the day. The majority of
the active list are higher to-nignt, and
while most changes are for fractions only,
Reading and Jersey are up li each. Total
sales 388,000 shares.
Tho Coupon Crusher Cue*.
Washington, October 11.—In the
United States supreme court this afternoon
Wlr Ham G. Gordon, of Virginia, counsel
for the attorney-general and two common
wealth attorneys of that state who have
been committed to prison hy order of
Judge Bond for disobedience to his orders
in the coupon crusher litigation, made up
plication to tbe court for leave to file peti
tions for writs of habeas corpus, command
ing the United States marshal ior the east
ern district of Virginia to bring the
imprisoned legal officers of that
state before this court for a hear
ing. In the written applications
ol prisoners, filed by their counsel, they
declare that Judge Bond was with
out jurisdiction in tho easts to which
his orders had reference ; that he had no
authority to make such oiders, and that
they, tho petitioners, have therefore,
beta imprisoned without due process of
law.
The court took the paners for considera
tion, and announced that it would render
a decision upon tlie application on to
morrow.

the crowd gathered,
and Mrs. Cleveland expressed tlieniBelvei
as highly pleased with their visit to St.
Paul. The president said of the parade of
tobogganer’s last night, that it, was tlie
finest and most, unique exhibition of the
kind he had over seen, and both he and
Mrs Cleveland were as pleased as children,
says Governor McGill, over the handsome
residences and beautiful views they saw on
their drive this morning.
Minneapolis, October 11.—The presi
dential party arrived here at 1 o’clock p.in.
from St,. Paul, and were immediately is
ed restraining the order, he (McCabe)
did not wish to appear as defying tfiat
court. Tubbs replied that ho intended to
do all in hia power to resist the action of
the usurping courts. That, he meant that
his orders to his court officers should be
obeyed and thereupon ruled Common
wealth Attorney McCabe to appear at the
next term of court to show cause why lie

I St. Louis, October 11.—Although a very
i cold, disagreeable day, from twelve to flf-
| teen thousand people saw the Detroit.*
play a very good game and tlie Browns a
I very bad one in the world’s championship
i series. The home letiiu’H rank errors, par
ticularly those of Latham aud Boyle, gave
' Detroit their Hist four runs. The work of
I the Browns was almost liieless as compar
ed with that of yesterday,their fielding, ex-
| eept O’Neill and Caruthers,being wretched,
i and their base running very sleepy-like.
I Both pitchers were hit freely, but had
Foutz received proper support the hits
charged against him would not only have
been fewer, but the Detroits would not,
have made more than one run. Hanlon,
for the visitors, earned a run of splendid
base running, stealing second and third.

to-day. A do sen bloodstained, smoko be-

lessness or blundering were brought into
tbe village’s little station house early this
morning, and this afternoon the eharrid
corpses, victims of the same blundering ( r
carlussnoHB.wcre laid.upou the station plat
form, while three miles West down the
track of tho Chicago and Atlantic railway,
near the water tank, piles of fearfully
tangled debris marked the spot where a
collision, seldom equalled for terrible re
sults, hud occurred. According to the best
estimate obtainable, for only an estimate
was possible, fully thirty human lives had
been sacrificed outright and hulf that
number oi persons had suffered injuries
more or less serious. As nearly as can be
gathered from the confused stories told
the facts arc that tile pussengur train was
tlie eastdiouml express which left Chicago
at. 7:15 last night, The eccentric strap had
broken and the driving wheels on one side
became useless. Tlie engineer hud stopped
ut a water lank to repair, thinking lie
could do so in u few minutes. lie had
stopped no more than one minute when
tlie fast train loaded with dressed meat
crashed into tho rear of the train. Tho
last carol' tho train wus a heavy Pullman
sleeper. This, when struck hv the freight
engine, crushed three 'ouches i Jfroiit and
appears to have killed or wounded every
lidyinthcm. Be\en persons were in tlie
I sleeper and these all escaped harm except
from tho shock. Accounts vary as to how
I wreck caught fire. Some attribute it to
I tho coal in tho freight engine, blit one
I passenger who wus resell d from the crush
ed coaches says, wh:le fastened between
two ear seats, he bow the g'<s with which
' the car was lighted suddenly fill up the
j upper part of the car with (lames, tlie gas
pipes having apparently boon broken, and
the escaping gas caught from the lighted
burners. No evidence conears in any of I he
stories that the flagman was sent to the
rear when the truin slopped, or that any
precaution wus taken to guard against
such an accident, excepting that the night
telegraph operator at Koutz, says the rear
orakenian on the passenger train hung out
a red lantern when tlie train stopped. The
men on the passenger train were fully
i aware tliut the freight truiu wus following
