i KSTIDLISIiEn IfcftO. ) 1 J. H. KfeTILL, Editor and Proprietor. 4 CLEVELAND IX GEORGIA.; HE RUNS INTO A RAIN STORM AT CHATTANOOGA. The Reception Programme Greatly In terfered with in Consequence-A Hickory Cane from Lookout Moun tain and an Album of Views Brought Away as Souvenirs—The Arrival at Atlanta. Nashville, Oct. 17. —Nashville, this morning, had something the apiiearaueo of a city in the throes of an exciting national convention. Middle Tennessee claimed the President for its own for a brief half day, and had sent its representatives in hun dreds, from all quarters, to do the honors of entertainment. The streets of the city were crowded as they never wera before since the days of “Pap"’,Thomas’ occupancy, and were decorated from cellar to crest in the richest conceivable manner. It is not strange that some enthusiast should have imagined a Confederate flag among the odd devices, for no possible combination of the national colors seems to be missing. Yet a search by responsible authorities failed to bring to light anything to which the most devoted loyalist could object. Mammoth pictures in every grade of artistic excellence spanned the thoroughfares or covered the fro nts of prominent buildings, and banners nomi nating the guest of tne day for a second term were as thick as blackberries. CLEVELAND ASTIR. The President and all his party at Belle Meade were early astir this morning, and after a leisurely breakfast made their way to the picturesque little railroad station upon the place and were waiting with Gen. Jackson, their host, who wore the badges and regalia of the grand marshal of the day, when the special train backed up from Nashville. Mrs. Vilas, the reported invalid of yesterday, came aboard smiling pleas antly, and, with all the others, declared her self as well as usual. A short run of lifteen or twenty minutes brought the train to the fair grounds in the outskirts of the city, where the passengers alighted amid the pomp and ceremony of the day's reception. The Governor and his guard, mounted, all brilliantly uniformed, and a corps of marshals, were in attendance. The guests were placed in carriages, driven within the fair grounds’ enclosure and to the handsome dub house of the association, where the members of the committees, and others con nected with the reception ceremonials, were presented to the President. AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY. At 8:45 o'clock the procession formed and the march to the city began to the music of the Presidential salute by the artillery. The route lay through the fine grounds of Van derbilt University. The pupils of the insti tution were drawn up in front of the uni versity building, and as the President’s car riage came up they received him with cheers, in acknowledgment of which he raised his hat and bowed. Chancellor Gar land addressed the President, expressing the pleasure it gave to all connected with the institution to welcome him. Students waved their hats and cheered again, and the march was resumed. As it proceeded the several divisions of the procession, consisting of military and civic organiza tions, benevolent orders, the State, county and municipal authorities and the city schools were passed in review, and fell into their places behind. The principal streets of the city were traversed, the populace, of all grades and condition being out on the sidewalks. When the Maxwell House was reached Mrs. Cleveland and her escort alighted and entered the hotel in whose spacious and beautifully adorned parlors she held a reception to the ladies of Nash ville. THE SPEECH-MAKING. The President and the procession made its way to the Capitol where, upon a stand erected for the purpose, the necessary for malities took place. Gov. Taylor’s speech was a brief but eloquent expression of the hospitality of the city. Major Kereheval welcomed the Pres ident so the city, and Col. A. S. Colyar also delivered an address of welcome. He said "he became President at a time when a vicious policy had impaired and greatly lessened the efficiency of civil service—the very life of good government. With cour age and intelligence he under took the perilous work of re form, and our enlightened people, if he succeeded, as his efforts so far indicate, will honor his name for saving the ship from its greatest peril. When he entered on the duties of his high oflice estrange ment of the sections of our common coun try, growing out of the errors of the past, hung over us as an inheritance of the war. Himself standing as representative of all sections, the people have reflected back his wisdom, and to-day our mottoes—tne na tional flag, the union of alt States—find a readj’ response in every home of the South. 1 trust the plaudifk of the people a id honors which they in their majesty are showering upon the man who had the patriotic courage to say, “Office or no office hereafter, I will do my duty,” will be a lesson for ambitious men to study as long as the republic shall last. I now introduce the President.” To these President replied us follows: 1 regret that my stay to-day at the capital of Tennessee must be necessarily so brief as to curtail the coveted opportunity to see more at leisure this handsome city and its hospitable people. Nashville s beautiful location, tne fee i lllty of its surrounding country aniN he weal! h of the mineral resources in its immediate neighborhood, gave early promise of its material growth and greatness. The variety and per fection of the agricultural products of your re gion. your extensive business and your superior horses and live stock of every description demonstrate that your advantages have not been neglected, while your mineral riches, which hare not been fully developed, assure ad ditional prospects in the future. Ido not. pro pose to dwell upon the details of your present commanding position among tin* cities of the h"oth. only mentioning that the activity and enterprise of your people has placed Nashville among the largest centres of Lrade and mer chandise south of the Ohio river, and iusomede partments near the head of all the cities of the lund It happened that early in your muuici- P >l life your cit isenssaw the advantages of educ t-Uon, refinement and culture, and that as ’he city grew, they became entwined in its growl h and spread around their branch until this is now deservedly known as the Athens of the oosth. The number of your colleges and universities, and institutions of learning of every Sind located in the midst of your activities where all. whether white or black,' may fit themseves for usefulness, and best citizenship may secure yoor possession to the title you have earned. 1 7 is not an unimportant fact that your city is ’-h" bead quarters, so to speak, of Southern Methodism and place of the publication and distribution of its literature. Nash ville and her vicinity have furnished two stiisyessful candidates for the Presidency. I o the grave of Andrew Jackson millions of Jour countrymen turn with reverent euthu sissm. and you arc fort'unate in numbering among your residents the loved and honored widow of our eleventh President. You have also furnished from your neighborhood, l think, live members of Presidential Cabinets, nine United States Senators, two Speakers of the of Representatives, and one Justioe of jus I nited States Supreme Court. With such a mstoiy and K qh sur.ti examples the State of lennessee and Its capital have been brought ■to relations with the Alteration of the general ,'!o'einment, and may well claim a large share ,:1 Us glory and beneficent results. The influence of the sentiment engendered by these relation* and traditions ouicklv won back the Up |Bofntno citizens of the State and city to theirold love for the Union after a sad interruption and restored them to the brotherhood in which they had found a noble and honorable career. In years to conn; 1 am sure nothing but continued and increasing growth and development await the people of Tennessee, constantly adding to the splendor and importance of her capital city. Upon the conclusion of his address the President was reconducted to the rotunda of the Capitol, where ho received the pub lic. Strong military lines were placed from the entrance to the exit, to which the peo ple passed rapidly and with good order throughout. OFF FOR THE DEPOT. Thousands of people passed through, and a few minutes before 1” o’clock, when it was time to depart, a long line still stretched away, apparently unending. At the Max well House thousands of ladies were re ceived In- Mrs. Cleveland and each taken by the hand until the time of departure cut the ceremonies short. Mrs. Cleveland and her escort took carriages and at Vine street ware joined by the President nffd his party, and a long procession escorted them to the train. Here again several thousand people packed all the adjacent streets and wildly cheered the party as they passed. Promptly at 13 o’clock the train pulled out for Chatta nooga amid the shouts of thousands and the waving of handkerchiefs. The assemblage, in numbers, enthusiasm and good humor, excelled any ever seen in Nashville before. A STINGING REBUKE. During the President’s reception while many poorly dressed people, evidently farmers and workingmen and women, were passing before him Mr. Cleveland adminis tered a stinging rebuke to a number of well dressed people, who having been presented had stepped back of him and were mak ing unkind remarks touching the personal appearance of those passing along in the front. Hearing the remarks and laughter the President said: "These good people are here out of respect to me. lam not willing for you to make sport of them. It is not right.” The laughter and comment ceased. WE VOTE AS WE MOB. “Excuse our mob,” said Secretary Ridley, of Nashville, to the President as the latter hoarded the special train. “We vote as we mob.” The occasion was one of most en thusiastic disorder. The time of departure was fixed at 11 o’clock, but there was plead ing for more time and a compromise had been made upon 13 o’clock. Mrs. Cleveland arrived at the train twenty minutes before its time of leaving, and a large multitude came on foot behind her carriage. The President came from his reception at the Capitol ten minutes later, and an irregular army of people came also with him. The military kept the masses back for a time, but manj' had lieen denied the coveted chance for a close view of the President, and the pres sure was something enormous. There were anxious inquiries for the remaining mem bers of the party, and it was proposed to pull out and start on ahead of time, for the endearments of the people were becoming threatening. The police and military kept order on one side of the train, hut on the other the people climbed upon every pro jection, peering into the windows, cheering and giving vent to their enthusiasm in the wildest manner. BROUGHT IN IN STATE. Dr. Bryant and Mr. Bissell were on time hut had difficulty in reaching their car. They were finally brought in in great state witli the escort of an entire military com pany. The pilot train pulled out at once and the special followed with but a few minutes interval, the crowds breaking and following as long as they could keep up by running. The members of the President’s party, without exception, brought away from Nashville happy memories of the hos pitable city. Not only had the citizens made elaborate preparations for the public welcome to the President, but an especial entertainment of one kind or another seemed to have been provided for each one of his followers. Mrs. Cleveland’s car was half filled with beautiful bouquets by friends she had never seen before. The last moment before the departure a gentleman brought in and presented, as a more lasting memento of her visit, ia costly lap-robe, artistically embroidered and lettered, “To President and Mrs. Cleveland.” The run from Nash ville to Chattanooga was delightful. CHATTANOOGA’S ENTHUSIASM. Chattanooga. Oct. 17.—Upon arriving at the Chattanooga Union depot, one of the largest in the South, the President’s train was greeted by a mass of humanity that filled the building to overflowing. As the train pulled in it was greeted by the boom ing of cannon and shouting and cheering from the vast multitude. It was with difficulty that the police kept order and a way open from the President’s oar to the platform. The President and his party were met by a reception committee. Mayor Sharp escorted Mr. ami Mrs. Cleveland to their carriage. The city was thronged with people, who came from East Tennessee, North Georgia and North Alabama, fully 30,000 visitors being in the city. A drizzling rain set in about 3 o’clock, and the crowd, fearing that tlie programme arranged by the committee could not tie carried out, thronged to the depot, which was packed with curious humanity eager to get a glimpse of the President. The city was profusely decor ated with bunting and flags, and four large arches were erected on Main street, sur mounted with portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and painted mottoes, “All Hail to the Chief” and ‘ ‘ VVeicomo to the Gate City of the South.” All along the line of march private residences were profusely decorated. The President’s carriage was handsomely upholstered with satin plush and was drawn by four cream-colored horses, preceded by mounted escorts. Notwithstanding the rain, which fell continuously, the lino of march arranged was carried out, with the exception of a visit to the historic heights of Cameron Hill, from which the Federal forces during the late war shelled the enemy on lookout mountain. The visit to that point, owing to the weather, was abandoned, much to the regret of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. NO STOP AT THE PLATFORM. A large platform appropriately draped and arched and bearing patriotic mottoes had been erected at the court house, where ic was intended that the Mayor should formally welcome the President and his wife, but owing to the lateness of the hour and the rain this was abandoned. The drive about, the eitj r was not barren of in terest. All along the streets the procession, which was composed of nearly 100 carriages, was greeted with cheers and shouts of “Hurrah for Grover Cleveland.” Men and women along the rout e pressed for ward in the rain to shake hands with the President, and to every one he graciously held out his hand, receiving many “God bless yous" from sincere hearts. When the party arrived at the depot it was 5:1.7 o’clock, and a dense throng had collected in and about the depot and car-shed. When the Presidentapproaehcd the throng opened, and his way to his car was made easy amid continual cheering. Before lie had entered the ear .‘Speech!” “Speech!” was shouted from 5,000 throats. Owing to the din and confu sion of many voices, it was impossible for him to have been heard even if he had at tempted to speak. Hundreds of jieople pressed forward to the rear platform of his car and shook bis Wbnd. One old negro who has uniformly voted the Democratic ticket since (the war was hustled over the heads of the crowd and he held out his hand saying: “God bless vou. Mars Clevelnn’. SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1887. you’re my man.” The President shook the old fellow's hand cordially, The train moved off as the President was shaking hands with the enthusiastic crowd, and then Mrs. Cleveland appeared on the plat form. From that moment until the train moved out of sight, the din was deafening, shout after shout rending the air for “Gro ver Cleveland. ” QUITE A LARK. “I enjoyed it ever so much; it was quite a lark,” said Mrs. Cleveland to the Associated Press reporter as the train moved off. One of the noticeable incidents of the day was the aopearanoe of Lookout Post No. ”, Grand Army of the Republic along the line of inarch cheering the President as he passed. Mr. and Mi's. Cleveland were the recipients at their car of a most unique, and at the same time beautiful, souvenir in the shape of a handsome album containing views of Chattanooga, the battlefields, Missionary Itidge, Lookout. Mountain, and Chieka maugua, and other points of interest about the city. The book was bound in silk plush, beautifully inscribed, and on the back was a large chip from a pine tree, taken from the Chickanmugua. battlefields, in which was lodged a long piece of Federal shell, fired in one of the famous battles about Chattanooga. The souvenir was presented without any demonstration, and liecauso of its historic value anil the motive that prompted it, it was accepted by Mrs. Cleve land. President Cleveland was also pre sented with a hickory walking-cane, cut from the battlefield of Lookout Mountain by an ex-Confederate soldier. The entire Chattanooga reception committee accom panied the President and his party in the special train to Atlanta, leaving a few min utes after the President's car. The rain aud the shortness of time allotted to Chat tanooga interfered with the reception, yet the President and his wife expressed grati fication at the reception accorded them, and regret that they could not visit Lookout Mountain and other historic points about the city. STARTING FOR ATLANTA. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17. —The President and his companions returned to their train at Chattanooga shaking the rain from their beavers and overcoats, laughing over their experience and sympathizing with the people who had made such elationite preparations for their brief demonstration of an hour. Gov. Taylor and his staff had come from Nashville on the pilot train to assist in doing the honors of the occasion and hail prepared a little procession of their own, which was to make its way to the court house and there be in readiness to receive the President on liis arrival. The two processions got mixed up in some way, and in the gathering darkness some carriages of the President’s party followed the Governor, while the President, and Postmaster General were being conveyed with much pomp away in the rain toward another quarter of the town. The Governor seems to have arrived at the rendezvous, but for some reason not yet explained to the excursionists, the President's procession brought up at the station without ever having visited the court house, where 10,000 people were waiting to see the pageant. A little later the President’s com panions, who had been led astray, discovered their predicament, and, fearing they would be left behind, on their own hook made their way to the station. The decorations of the town were superb, and the heartiness of the people merited a better result. At Big Shanty, Ga., Senator Brown boarded the President’s car for a moment to pay his respects, and a little later C. A. Collier, President of the Atlanta Ex position, H. W. Grady, Vice-President, and Judge H. B. Tompkins, one of the directors, entered the President’s ears, paid their re spects and made known to him certain pro posed changes in the programme for to morrow. A stop was made opposite Kennesaw mountain to witness some fireworks, but lowering clouds intervened and the display was marred. AT ATLANTA. The approach to Atlanta was signalled by the firing of cannon, rockets, red lights and other indications that an event of impor tance was at hand It was about 11 :B0 o’clock as the train drew into the station. Military were in line. Gov. Gordon and staff were at the stopping place and a throng which seemed in the confused light of the red lights, to be a veritable ocean of human faces tilled every street. Deafening cheers greeted the travelers, who, amid signs of most en thusiastic welcome, were escorted to the carriages in waiting and driven to their quarters at the Kimball House. Military guarded every foot of the way,and sentinels were stationed in strong force in the corri dors of the hotel, through which it was nec essary for the President to ]iss, preserving the utmost ordei. Everywhere else, both in tho hotel and out, however, there was such a jam as Atlanta has never known. Gov. Gordon estimates the number of stran gers in this city to-night at 100,000. The Presidential party entered their rooms at once and did not, again make their appear ance. It had been arranged that at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning the President should lie taken out for a ride, but the au thorities having him in charge delicately bethought themselves of his comfort, and have tnado arrangement for his first public appearauce at a later hour. HAD WEATHER. When Atlanta got up this morning heavy and threatening clouds were hanging over her. About noon it commenced drizzling, and in the afternoon commenced raining in good earnest. It is still raining heavily to night, with no prospect of an abatement. The city is drenched and all of the decora tions are in anything but good condition. The city is filled with visitors, who wander about the si rect.s hunting shelter. The entire surroundings present a most pitiable sight When the Presidential party reached here to-night it was raining heavily. Fully 10,000 jieople were congregated nboul the depot and along the line of the railroad track from Whitehall street to Pryor, where they had been standing since dark, and ail of them were ns wet as drowned rats. As the train moved Into the depot a salute was fired from the Broad street bridge by the Atlanta Ar tillery. The ['resident and party were driven to the Kimball House, with an escort of 100 men, wiio carried torches. CAN’T GET TO ATLANTA. Jacksonville, Kla., Oct. J7.—The Gem City Guards, of Palatka, appluvi to the quarantine board here to-night for permis sion to pass through en route to Atlanta, but the request was denied. WASHINGTON WILL WELCOME HIM. Washington, Oct. 17. —It is proposed to give President Cleveland a welcome home on his return to Washington, if it will bo agreeable to him. The leading citizens favor it. He wifi probably lie communi cated with before any arrangements are made. The militia and the civic organiza tions are all ready to parade. Appeal of the Anarchists. Washington, Oct. 17.—Hon. John Ran dolph Tucker, one of the counsel for the con demned Anarchists, had an interview with Justice Harlan to-day in reference to the so called Anarchists’ ease, and arranged with the latter to meet, the Attorneys for the de fendants on next Thursday morning at 10. HO o’clock, in the conference room of the Su preme Court, in reference to the application for a. writ of error in "*** A SHAKSPKARE FOUNTAIN G. W. CHILDS’ GIFT DEDICATED AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON. A Large Number of Distinguished Per sons Present -Henry Irving Makes the Dedication Speech—A Poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes and a Letter from James Russell Lowell Read. London. Oct. 17. —The Shakespeare me morial fountain, presented by G. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, to the town of Stratford on-Avon, was dedicated with imposing cere monies to-day. Early trains brought large numbers of distinguished persons to attend the dedication. The weather was fine. There wa“ an immense crowd in attendance, and much enthusiasm was manifested. Dr. Maeauley represented Mr. Childs at the proceedings. Just before noon the invited guests formed in line and marched to the towm hall and thence to tho site of the fountain. Henry Irving made the deiii cation speech. He said he admired Mr. Childs’public spirit and energy, which were worthy of Philadelphia. Ills generous deeds were widely known, and ho was ffreatly respected. Mr. Irving concluded lis address by presenting the memorial in the name of the donor to the town. The Mayor read a letter from James Rus sell Lowell, eulogizing Mr. Childs for his gift, which deed recalled the fact of the kitiared blood of the two great nations who are joint heirs to the work of Shakespeare. MH. LOWELL’S LETTER. Following is the letter from James Russell Lowell, which was read by the Mayor: 1 should more deeply regret my inability to be present at the interesting ceremonial of Oct. 17, were it not tliat my countrymen will be more fitly represented there by their accomplished Minister, Mr. Phelos. The occasion is certainly a most interesting oiie. The monument which you accept in behalf of your townsmen com memorates at once the most marvelous of Eng lishmen ami the jubilee year of tin* august lady, whose name is honored wherever the language is spoken, of which he was the greatest master. No symbol could more aptly servo this double purpose than a fountain, for surel.v no poet ever poured forth so broad a river of speech as he. whether he was the author of "Novum Or f'anum" also, or not; nor could the purity of u*r character and exiuvple be bettor typified than by the current that shall Him forever’ from this fountain. It was Washington Irving who first embodied in his delightful English the emotion which Stratford on Avon awakens in the heart, of the pilgrim, and especially of the American pilgrim who visits it. I am glad to think that this memorial should bo the gift of an American and thus serve to recall the kindred blood of the two great nations, joint heirs of the same noble language and of the genius that has given it cosmopolitan significance. lam glad of it be cause it is one of the multitudinous signs that those two nations are beginning to think more and more of the things in w hich they sympa thize, and less and less of those in which they differ. (Cheers.) Common language is not. in deed, the surest bond of amity, for this enables each country to understand whatever unpleasant tiling the other may chance to say about it. As I am one of those that teiieve honest friendship between England and America is a most desirable thing I trust that we on both sides will think it equally desirable in our inter course, one with the other, to make our mother tongue search her coffer round for t he polished, rather than sharp cornered epithets she lias stored there. Let us by all means speak the truth to eaeh other, for there Is no one else who can speak it to either of us with such fraternal feeling for the weak points of the other, but let ns do ii in such a way as to show that it is the truth we love anil not the discomfort we can inflict by means of it. [Cries of "Hear! Hear!"] Let us say agreeable things to each other and of each other when ever we conscientiously can. My friend, Mr. Childs, has said one of !hese agreeable things in a very solid and durable way. Common literature and common respect for certain qualities of character and ways of thinking sup ply a neutral ground where we may meet in as surance that we will And something amiable in each other, and from being less than kin be come more than kin. [Cheers ] In old maps the line which outlined the British possessions in America included the greater part of what is the territory of the United States. Tin- posses sions of America in England are laid down on no map, yet he hold- thi m in memory and imagination by title such as no conquest ever established and no revolution can ever over throw. The dust that is sacred to you is sacred to him. The annals which Shakespeare makes walk before us in flesh and blood are his no less than j’anrs. These are the ties which we recog nize. mud are glad to recognize on oc casions like this. They will he yearly drawn closer as science goes on with her work of abolishing time and space, and thus render more easy t inn peaceful com merce twist different shores which is so potent to clear away whatever is exclusive in nation ality or savors of barbarism in patriotism. I remain, dear Mr. Mayor, faithfully yours, J. K. Lowell, t Enthusiastic cheers were given when tho Mayor finished reading Mr. Lowell's letter. The Poet Whittier had also written a let ter to Mr. Childs, in which he said the gift during the present year was a happy thought as connected with the Queen’s jubileo and would go toward atoning for foolish utterances about England coming from some American citizens. This portion of the letter was received with cries, “Hear, Hear.” The poem, written for the occasion by Oliver Wendell Holmes, was read by Mr. Henry Irving with splendid effect amid plaudits, as follows: The following poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes was read: Welcome, thrice welcome is thy silvery gleam, Thou long imprisoned stream! Welcome the t inkle of thy crystal beads As plashing raindrops to tbe flowery meads, As summer's breath to Avon's wispering reeds! From rock-walled channels drowned in rayless night, 1-eap forth to life amt light; Wake from the ilarkness of thy troubled dream, Aad greet with answering smile the morning’s beam! No purer lymph the white-limbed Naiad knows Than from thy chalice flows; Not the bright spring of Abie's suuu.v shores, Htarry with spangles washed from golden ores, Nor glassy stream Blandusla sfountain pours, Nor wave translucent where Sabrina fair Braids her loose flowing hair. Nor the swift current, stainless as it rose Where chill Arveiron steals from Alpine snows. Here shall the t raveler stay his weary feet To seek thy calm retreat; Here at high noon the brown-armerl reaper rents; Here, when tbe shadows, lengthening from the west. Call the mute song-bird to Ills leafy nest. Matron and maid shall chat the earns away That brooded o'er the day, While flocking round them troops of children meet, And all the arches ring with laughter sweet. Here shall the steed, his patient life who spends In toil that never ends, Hot from his thirsty tramp o'er hill and plain. Plunge his red nostrils, while the torturing rein Drops in loose loops beside his floating mane; Nor the jvior brute that, shares his master's lot,— Find his small needs forgot Truest of humble, long-enduring friends. Whose presence cheers, whose guardian care de fends! Here lark, and thrush and nightingale shall sip, And skimming swallows dip. And strange shy wanderers fold their lustrous plumes Fragrant from bowers that lent their sweet per fumes Where Ptrstum's rose or Persia's lilac blooms; Here from his cloud the eagle stoop to drink At the full basin's brink. And whet his beat against its rounded lip. His glossy feathers glistening as they drip. Here shall the dreaming .poet, finger long, I'ti-leii.i in .Ii e line throe*' Nor lute nor lyre his trembling hand shall bring; Here no frail Muse shall imp her crippled wing; No faltering minstrel strain his throat to sing! These hallowed echoes who shall dare t o claim Whose tuneless voice would shame. Whose jangling chords with jarring notes would wrong The nymphs that heard the Swan of Avon's song* What visions greet the pilgrim's raptured eyes! What ghosts made real rise! The dead return,- they breathe, they live again. Joined by the host of Fancy's airy train. Fresh from the springs of Shakespeare's quick ening brain! The stream that slakes the soul's diviner thirst Here found the sunbeams first: Rich with his fame, not less shall memory prize The gracious gift tliat humbler wants supplies. O'er the wide waters reached tho hand that gave To all this bounteous wave. With health and strength and joyous beauty fraught: Blest be the generous pledge of friendship, brought From the far home of brothers' love, unbought! Long may fair Avon’s fountain flow, enrolled With storied shrines of old, Castalia's spring, Egeria's dewy cave. And Horeb's rock the God of Israel clave! Land of our Fathers. m*ean makes us two, Bui heart to hoart is true! Proud is your towering daughter in the West, Yet in her burning life-blood reign contest Her mother's pulses beating in her breast. This holy font, whose rills from heaven descend, Its gracious drops shall lend, Both foreheads bathed in that baptismal dew, And love t .akeone the old home and the new! "Hail Columbia” was sung and cheers were given for the Queen and President (Move land. Luncheon at the town lmll followed the ceremonies. The flay was observed as a holiday and the whole town was en fete. The procession from the town hall to the fountain was led by tbe municipal authori ties. While the proceedings were in progress the following telegram was received from the Queen: “I am much gratified by your kind and loyal expression and am pleased to hear of the handsome gift of Mr. Childs to Stratford.” Henry Irving, in reply to a personal toast, said: As an actor I can crave no higher distinction than that of being prominently associated with some public work in connection with Shakes peare's memory in Shakespeare's native town. It is to the lasting honor of the actor's calling that the poet of all time was a player and that lie achieved immortality by writing for the stage. Of all the eloquent tributes which have been paid to Shakespeare one over recalls the words of his fellow-actors, to whose loving care we owe the first edition of his works and who tell us that he was as happy an imitn tor of nature as he was a most gentle expresser of it. In a few days 1 shall sail for the great country when* any worthy representation of Shakespeare on the stage commands just as staunch support from the public as in our own land. I shall carry as your ambassador to Mr. Childs your appreciation of his generous gift. MANITOBA AS A REFUGE. The Chief Whip of the Liberals Makes a Suggestion. London, Oct. 17.—William S. Caine, chief whip of the Liberal Unionist party in Parliament, writes from Manitoba sug gesting that the government, instead of eni -1 larking in the dangerous policy of land purchases, help the distressed Irish families to emigrate to that magnificent country. Lord Harrington to-day presided at a meeting of the Unionist leaders, including Mr. Chamberlain. It was decided to hold a general conference of tho party early in December. CHAMBERLAIN STIGMATIZED. Dublin, Oct. 17.—At a meeting of the corporation to-day the Ixird Mayor stigma tized Mr. Chamberlain’s attack upon them as a display of malice, ignorance and un truthfulness. “Mr. Chamberlain,” continued the Lord Mayor, “would have done better to devote his eloquence to the furtherance of his suit with the Tory Countess, whose hand he has been led to believe he will ob tain as tbe priceof his political apostasy.” SANDERSON’S SAVAOKNKSS. Belfast, Oct. 17. —Mayor Sanderson, the well-known Orange leader and member of Parliament for North Armagh, made a speech here to-night. Ho spoke in terms of high praise of the jioliey of Mr. Chamber lain and his followers, and said the govern ment was not worth its salt unless it sent tho Parnellites to plank beds and oakum picking in Kilmainbain jail. RIOTING IN LONDON. The Trafalgar Square Mob Again on the Rampage. London, Oct. 17.—A deputation of un employed workmen went to the Mansion House to-day and demanded that they be supplied with work. The Board of Aider men referred them to the workhouse. When the deputation reported the result of their mission to those who had sent them the mob became infuriated and started marching toward the city. They were sur rounded by a force of police. The mob proceeded without committing overt act until the Strand was reached, when they turned upon the police and at tacked them with stones. The po lice charged upon the crowd and scattered them, capturing a number of banners. The mob then returned to Tra falgar square, where several of the leaders made speeches, which had the effect of ex citing the crowd. The police again made a charge, and after some resistance, succeeded in clearing the square. After a time the mob, which had now gained some rein forcements, attempted to again enter the square, hut after a general fight, they were prevented from doing so by the jxilice.

New York, Oct. 17.—A four-story build ing, in course of erection, at No. 443 East One Hundred and Fifteenth street, to be used as u school house, tumbled in this afternoon and many workmen were buried in the ruins.

A search was at once commenced and, at 6 o’clock this evening, six dead bodies had been taken from the ruins. Four men were taken out seriously wounded and almost suffocated. The supposition is that them are still fourteen men underneath the debris. Most of the workmen were engaged in the lower part of the building at the time of the accident. The side walls fell immedi ately after the front wall gave way. The workmen wem all Italians, and the school house was intended for the education of Italian children.

New York, Oct. 17, 11 r. m.—A later re port says that live (icrsons wem killed and over a dozen more or loss wounded. (If the latter Father Armelinn Keener,the priest- in charge of the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, will probably die. He was standing on the fourth story talk ing to the foreman at the time of the crash, and was thrown to the forward part of the wreck, landing on his feet, sustaining spinal injuries. Lynch, the foreman of the building, escaped, l>ut cannot now lie found. There were a number of miraculous escapes from death. The killed are: John Duncan, a bricklayer. Henry Roinitz, a blacksmith. Two Italians and one unknown man. The building was begun about four months ago under the supervision of Father Kernel who hoped to save money by doing without a contractor. The cause of its fall is said to have been caused by a violation of the building laws, no central supports having been placed under the beams of the first floor, which were simply run into the walls, hut central supports were used on some stories. It is also charged that the walls were run up too hastily, and that the mortar was not given time to dry. Besides this, the constant jar ring from the donkey engine used in hoist ing material caused the weak walls to oscil late, and they finally swung over from east to west, carrying down both side ones. The walls were only sixteen inches thick in some places. The budding, when finished, was calculated to accommodate 3,(SKI children. AVENGING REV. RYAN.

W hen the fever first made its advent in Key West many of (he people of this city left Orlando, but more has left since its apiiearance in Tampa. It was but natural that the first reports should eause alarm and the bulletin boards were eagerly sought by the more nervous particularly as reports were of a meager nature. Aside from the first appre hension, which lasted only four or five days, this city has experienced no further uneasi ness. Business is carried on the same as usual.

A negro loafer attempted to get on the train and when the reporter told him to get off, he laughed ami said, “YVhy, boss, I’se duz that ev’ry day.” At this the doctor’s patience again gave way and as he made a memorandum of the occurrence, he remarked, "We’ll see if this is continued much longer.” He was greatly displeased at the la ex of precautions there, and said it must be remedied at once, or the trains wouid not be permitted to run through Palatka.
