CLEVELAND GOING BACK.
THE DAY AT MONTGOMERY ONE
OF THE TRIP’S BEST.
flplendid Order Preserved Everywhere
the Visitors Went—Gov. Seay De
livers the Address of Welcome—The
President’s Reply of the Same Kind
as His Speeches Everywhere.
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 20.—After a
good night’s rest on the special train the
Presidential tourists arrived hero at 8
o'clock this morning. There were the usual
large crowds in waiting, but the strictest,
order prevailed. Commerce street, from
the station to the hotel, nearly half a mile
away, was lined by troops on each side who
kept a wide avenue open from curb to curb.
Gov. Seay, Mayor Reese and Col. Newman,
President of the State Agricultural Society,
who composed the receptiou committee,
were within the lines, and conducted the
guests at once to their carriages and then to
the hotel. The manner of the reception
made an exceedingly favorable impression
upon the minds of the President and his
companions. At the hotel Senator Pugh,
Senator Morgan, the members of
the Governor’s staff, the Presi
dent of the Senate, the Speaker
of the House, ex-Gov. O’Neil, Congressman
Davidson and a number of ladies greeted
the city’s guests in the hotel parlors, where
half an hour was spent in making or re
newing acquaintances. The Presidential
party breakfasted at the hotel with Gov.
and Mrs. Seay, Col. and Mrs. Newman,
Mayor Reese and daughter, ex-Gov. O’Neil,
Senator Morgan, Senator Pugh and a few
others, after which they reviewed the
troops from the balcony of the hotel. There
were about I.OUp men in the column, includ
ing a troop of cavalry and a battery of ar
tillery.
NEW ORLEANS’ PERSISTENCY.
The President has received a telegram
from the Mayor of New Orleans, stating
that a committed Is on the way to ask that
his trip be extended to that city. Col.
Lament replied that the President’s impera
tive engagement* make compliance with the
request impossible. After the review and
before the party took carriages for a ride
about town, to Mrs. Cleveland was the sur
prised recipient of a unique and beautiful
souvenir. It is a jewel case in the form of
a bale of cotton, about 8 inches in length
and proportionate in depth and width. It
is made of pure silver and is a very artistic
production. Its sides are of oxydized silver,
representing the bagging of a bale,
while frosted spots bear a striking resem
blance to snowy cotton bursting from its
confinement. The plantation mark upon
the end of the bale is “G. C., 1888,” and the
warehouse mark on its top is “F. F. C.”
The inside of the cover bears the inscrip
tion, “presented Mrs. Grover Cleveland by
the Mayor and City Council, as a token of
their regard on the occasion of her visit to
Montgomery, Alabama, Oct. 20, 1887.”
The presentation was made byMayorßeese
inthe name of the mnncipality. The ride
through the beautiful city was a most
enjoyable feature of the day’s demonstra
tion. Public and private buildings were
elaborately adorned, and everything wore a
gala appearance.
GOV. SEAY’S ADDRESS.
The welcoming address of Gov. Seay,
which was delivered upon the arrival at the
fair grounds, was as follows:
The Chief Magistrate of 65„000,000 of free,
self governed people, having traversed thous
ands of miles across the great continent, which
is their home, comes to visit a State which, in
material resources, in population and sentiment
constitutes one part of the most superb and
greatest fabrics of government which has ever
been erected by man. From the great lakes to
our doors he has come unheralded, tenderly ac
companied, but surrounded by no guards.
There is no crown on his brow nor
any sceptre in his hand, but a
reality of dignity and power attends
him greater than that of any king. He finds us
in the grace of a beautiful harvest, the answer
of earth, air and sky to the labor and skill of
the husbandman, and in the realization and
materialization of a material development sur
passing the dreams of the visions of our past
and above and beyond all. and priceless in the
supreme enjoyment of the blessings of civil
liberty secured by just laws and a well ordered
commonwealth. The successor in the right line
of Washington, of Jackson and Lincoln, he
represents in law and in fact the unity of the
American people. Mr. President, in the name
of the people of Alabama I welcome you to her
borders and to her capital city.
THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
To this the President replied:
1 am very glad to be able at the conclusion
of a most delightful, and, I hope, improving se
ries of visits throughout the country to s >e a lit
tie of the State of Alabama and its jieqpie and
its capital city. 1 believe that no Southern
State ha.-4within itself more elements of agricul
tural growth and development than Alabama.
There is hardly a food product which is not rep
resented in its agriculture. It has
within its borders abundant for
ests of useful and valuable timber
waiting for utilization to the needs of man,
while its mineral resources, marvelous and in
exhaustible. give assurance of wealth and com
mercial greatness. In means of transportation
your State is hardly less favored. About two
thirds of your counties are bounded or inter
sected by rivers navigable fir easily made so-
Your railroad facilities, already great, are con
stantly increasing, and your outlel to the ocean
is found in the largest and fine*: bay on the
Gulf of Mexico. A State thus favored by nature,
and so profusely blessed by the gifts
of Providence, cannot but occupy a com
manding position in the Union of
States which constitute this great nation, nor
can any have a greater stake in the welfare and
progress of the entile country or in the har
monious and friendly feeling upon which these
depend. As you gather your agricultural pro
ducts and as you increase their volume and
variety you are not only enriching yourselves
and your State, but are adding lustre to our
national glory. Your iron ore taken from the
same field to its manufacture supplies a power
ful element of national cohesion, and in its
manufacture you are preparing the
strongest bonds of national unity.
Every ton of iron you are enabled to furnish a
Northern State goes far toward destroying sec
tional feeling. Your fellow countrymen appre -
date the value of intimate and profitable busi
ness relations with you, and there need he no
fear that they will permit them to be destroyed
or endangered by designing demagogues. The
wickedness of these partisans, who seek to aid
their ambitious schemes Jjy engendering hate
among a generous people is fast meeting ex
posure, and yet there is and should be an in
sistence upon strict adherence to the settlement
which has • been made of dis
puted questions, and upon unreserved accep
tai ce of such settlement. As against
this I believe no business consideration should
prevail, ami I firmly believe that there is Ameri
can fairness enough abroad in the laud to insure
proper and substantial recognition of the good
faith which you have exhibited. We know that
you still have problems to solve involving con
siderations concerning you alone: questions be
yoml the reach of Federal laws or interference,
and with which no one but you should deal,
l nave no fear that you will fail to
your manful duty in these matters,

shall return to my official duly grateful to the
people of your State and capital for the cordi
ality of their welcome, fully impressed with the
greatness of Alabama, but also with a feeling
that she cannot evade, if she would, the re
sponsibility to the entire country which her
greatness and commanding position have cast
upon her.
It was due to the remarkable self control
and good order preserved by the audience,
of perhaps 20,000, at the fair grounds that
both speeches were audwleto the very out
skirts of the throng. The President’s ap
pearance to respond was the signal for a
wild outburst of cheers, and he was fre
quently interrupted by applause, and oc
casionally a fervent interjectory “God bless
you” from the speaking stand. The party
were escorted in their carriages about the
fair grounds, this being for the limited time
at the committee’s disposal a more accepta
ble mode of giving the people an opportuni
ty to see the President than by the ordinary
way of passing the multitude before him.
The special train was brought to the fair
grounds and the party boarded it and started
for home at 1 o’clock.
A BIG FEATHER IN THEIR CAP.
Calkra, Ala., Oct. 20.—The good order
in Montgomery was maintained to the mo
ment of departure. It seems to have lieen
the result of the forethought of the author
ities and the excellent plans made by them,
based apparently upon the experiencies of
the travelers in other places and described
in the Associated Press dispatches. The
hotel people temporarily surrendered
their functions to the Governor and
Mayor, who for the moment became
both landlords and dictators. To guard
against remote possibilities of delay of in
conveniences in case the members of the
Presidential party should liecome separated
from their fellows, they were supplied in
advance with cards bearing the signatures
of the Governor and Mayor authorizing
them to pass the guards anywhere at any
time, but no occasion was found for their
use,
Montgomery somehow reminded the vis
itors of Madison, \Vis., both in points of re
semblance and those of contrast. Each is a
type of its section, combining the pictur
esque features of a roomy country village
with the advantages of a modern city.
CHARACTERISTIC SCENES.
The President’s entertainers in Mont
gomery lamented or apologized for much in
the architectural features of their town
that was ancient, but the visitors would
have nothing changed. Broad streets, lined
with old-time mansions and cottages, shad'd
by magnificent trees and surrounded by
flowers and shrubs, even the negro cabins
with their quaint groups of men, women
and children, were all in keeping and
were the elements of a scene fa
miliar to strangers in pictures of
the South, but never before witnessed in
fact. The travelers having within ten days
had a chance to experience the hospitalities
of all sections of the country between Min
neapolis, where snow actually fell upon
them, and Montgomery, where banana trees
were found growing in the open air, turned
their faces homeward with a promise from
the railroad people that a run of forty-two
hou*s should land them in Washington.
A TURNOUT AT ROME.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 20. —Ten thousand peo
ple gathered at the depot of the East Ten
nessee road at Rome, at 9:30 o'clock to-night,
to greet the President and Mrs. Cleveland.
Huge bonfires blazed up and down the
track, and over it were thrown two mag
nificent arches of electric lights. The im
mense concourse of people gave expression
to its enthusiasm in frequent cheers for
President Cleveland, and louder and even
heartier cheers for Mrs. Cleveland,
AT DALTON.
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 20.—The people of this
region are not behind those of the North
west in the matter of bonfires. Rome, Ga.,
was all ablaze and a crowd of several thous
and was at the station with the military and
a brass band. The authorities have been
telegraphing for three or four days urging the
President to stop, and were very reluctant
to take “No” for an answer. President and
Mrs. Cleveland stood on the rear platform
as the train pulled slowly through Rome
about 9:15 o’clock, and the people had a
good chance to see them. Piles of pine
knots and torches were burning, and all the
way stations, and many lonely negro cabins,
made a show of demonstration. The train
passed Dalton, Ga., at 11 o’clock. The
tourists were about retiring, promising
themselves a full night’s sleep.
A Newspaper’s Humiliation.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 20.—The
Tribune to-day publicly acknowledges the
error it committed in publishing any mat
ter uncomplimentary to Mrs. Cleveland
during her visit to this city. Will E.
Haskell, junior member of the Tribune
Company, will assume over his own signa
ture the responsibility for the Cleveland
editorial and entirely exonerate Mr.
Blethen from all knowledge, participation
or responsibility in the article.
CAPTURED SEALERS.
The Order for Their Release Was
Looked Upon as Fraudulent.
Washington, Oct. 20. —The correspond
ence between the Department of Justice
and its officers in Alaska in regard to the
release of the British vessels seized during
the summer of 1886 for alleged violation of
the seal fishery laws was made public to-day.
It shows that Attorney General Garland
telegraphed United States Judge Dawson
and United States Attorney Ball, at Sitka,
on Jan. 26 last to release the captured
British sealing vessels Carolina, Onward and
Thornton. The United States authorities at
Sitka for some reason regarded the tele
gram as fraudulent and did not obey it.
The Department of Justice does not appear,
from the correspondence, to have discovered
that its order had not been obeyed until
Oct. 12, 1887, when the Attorney General
again telegraphed United States Marshal
Atkins, at Sitka, to release the vessels, and
three days later wrote a letter repeating the
same instructions.
AGRICULTURE'S CONVENTION.
Interesting Papers Read--Officers
Electea for the Year.
Washington, Oct. 20.—At the Agricul
tural Convention*his morning papers were
read on “The Work and Needs of Experi
ment Stations” and “Experiment and In
vestigations Demanded by the Farmers of
lowa.” Officers were elected under theaiew
constitution as follows: President, George
W. Atherton, of Pennsylvania; Vice Presi
dents, S. I). Lee of Mississippi, 8. H. Pea

H. Cook of New Jersey; Executive
Committee, Edwin Willets of Michigan,
James A. Patterson of Kentucky, H. E.
Alvors of Massachusetts, C. W. Dabney of
Tennessee, and Charles K. Adams of New
York; Secretary, Charles E. Thorn, of
Ohio. After adopting a series of resolutions
endorsing the proposed celebration at 'Wash
ington of the celebration of the inaugura
tion of the government under the constitu
tion, and the 400th anniversary of the
discovery of America, the convention ad
journed.
Death of An Editor’s Wife.
New York, Oct. 20.—Mrs. Stone, wife
of David M. Stone, of the Journal of Com

last night of paralysis of the heart.
SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1887.
INCONSISTENCY DENIED.
GLADSTONE SPEAKS TO 4,000 PEO
PLE AT DERBY.
No Such Coercion Measure as That
Passed at the Last Session of Parlia
ment Ever Passed While He Was in
Office-Evictions Still in Progress.
London, Oct. 20. Mr. Gladstone re
ceived an address from the Irish residents
of Nottingham to-day. In replying to the
address Mr. Gladstone expressed the con
viction that the discord between Catholics
and Protestants would cease once home rule
was established in Ireland.
Mr. Gladstone addressed an audience of
4,000 persons in the drill hall at Derby to
day. He was supported by Sir William
Vernon Harcourt and, Baron Wolverton.
The crowd climbed to the girders of the
roof. When the orchestra played “God
bless the Prince of Wales” hisses were heard
from parts of the hall. The air of
the song “Joey and Jesse,” which refers
to Messrs. Joseph Chamberlain and Jesse
Collings, was also played and loudly
groaned. Mr. Gladstone said their oppo
nents were growing weaker, while their own
forces were becoming stronger. He was ac
cused of co-operating with those whom ho
once denounced as marching with rapine
and murder towards the disintegration of
the empire. All the objections then pre
sented had passed away. He did not believe
that any Irish member of Parliament now
contemplated or desired dismemberment of
the empire. They wanted a union of hearts,
not a union on parchment and paper.
INCONSISTENCY DENIED.
Why, he asked, should he be accused of
gross inconsistency beca use he allied himself
with Mr. Parnell and the Irish party, who
were acting on lines of moderation which
assuredly would in the end secure home
rule. He flatly denied that his course was
inconsistent. When told that he had passed
coercion measures he could only say that a
measure such as was contested at the last
session of Parliament had never been passed
while he was in office. That measure was not
aimed at the suppression of crime so much
as at the liberty of the press and
the right of public meeting, as its applica
tion proved. Lawful meetings had been
prevented. The act had been used in such
a manner as to painfully and flagrantly
show that its provisions were different from
those of any act previously passed. It was
more sifbtle and piercing and fatal to the
liberty of the people than any bill hitherto
passed. It was enrolled as a per
manent piece of legislation as much
as the reform bill and the bill of
rights. Coercion had utterly failed. In
stead of trying to drive the disease inward
ho believed the Liberals bad found a plan
which would, by their Home Rule scheme,
solve the long formidable problem. It was
said that Ireland consisted of two nations.
Italy was once in the same condition, but
the parties there coalesced and formed one
united kingdom. Why should not Ireland
do the samet
ULSTER MISUNDERSTANDS.
Mr. Gladstone said he believed that the
people of Ulster were simply laboring under
a misunderstanding. They doubtless wanted
assurance that connection between Ireland
and England would be maintained. It was
an utter mistake to suppose that any action
of the Liberal party would have any other
result. He believed that a satisfactory ar
rangement could be made by which Ulster
would be united with the rest of Ireland,
and that in the end all would give willing
obedience to the Queen.
On leaving the hall Mr. Gladstone was
heartily cheered.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, who resigned
the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland on
account of ill health, has been assured by
his physicians that he can now safely re
sume political life.
A CONSERVATIVE RESIGNS.
Mr. Evlyn, Conservative, has resigned
his seat as member of Parliament for Dept
ford. He declares in his letter of resigna
tion that he cannot support the Irish policy
of the government. “The government,
he says, “are inflicting on Ireland
under the name of law a system
of one-sided tyranny. It is not a govern
ment, but a confession of inability. If we
cannot govern Ireland, the only way is to
let Ireland govern herself.”
Lord Randolph Churchill in a speech at
Sunderland to-day denounced as immoral
Mr. Gladstone’s proffer to make disestab
lishment of the church in Wales a plank of
the Liberal platform in return for the sup
port of his Irish scheme.
ONE VOTE PER HEAD.
Mr. Churchill said at Sunderland to-day
that he was willing to support the principle
that one man should have only one vote,
unless the Conservative party opposed that
principle, a contingency unlikely to occur.
Mr. Gladstone, he said, expressed his ideas on
all subjects in the vaguest manner. He
spoke of abolishing entail. If he meant
simply reference to the lives of children yet
unborn, he (Mr. Churchill) ngread with
him, as did, probably, a majority of the
members of Parliament, but he was opposed
to a mere radical innovation. Ho thought
the protection question was subject for
meditation. The main reason why he
himself had not joined in the argument was
that he believed that only low
prices for the necessaries of life were com
patible with stability of a democratic con
stitution. He favored bold legislation in
the direction of temperance, not on moral,
but on economical grounds. He was
strongly op [toned to the disestablishment of
the church either in England, Scotland or
Wales. Nothing but unmitigated
evil and dissolution could possibly
result from the appropriation of
religious principles for secular purposes.
Mr. Gladstone was silent on the greatest of
all domestic questions —questions of reform
and retrenchment in the finance depart
ment and of public education. He (Lord
Churchill) advocated the cause of temper
ance and free education as conservative
measures. Unlike the Glndstonians, the
Unionists were to deal with these questions
immediately. He had yet to learn how a
majority of 100, when led by in
telligence and courage, could bo
successfully resisted by a disorganized and
vicious minority. Even if Mr. Gladstone
succeeded in forcing dissolution and obtain
ing a majority, the home rule pro[xwnls
would lie fought to the last grip, even to
the aliolition of the House of Lords, thus
certainly postponing these vital reforms
until at least 1891.
The registration bill foreshadowed at the
Nottingham conference is really a reform
bill, granting manhood suffrage, abolishing
revising barristers and political agents, etc.
Mr. Gladstone is the author of the measure.
EVICTIONS STILL IN PROGRESS.
Dublin, Oct. 20.—Three tenants on the
estate of Lord Clanricarde have been
evicted. One of the tenants, named Patrick
Canipliell, strenuously resisted the officers,
and during the inelee his daughter Margaret
was struck on the head with a crowbar and
severely injured. Eight women and two
men wore arrested.
A number of ejectment notices against
tenants on the Kingston estate has been
posted in Mitchellstown.
United Ireland, Mr. O’Brien’s paper,
prints six columns of repivts of mootings
of suppressed branches of the national
league.
Application was made before Judge
O’Brien, of the Court of Queen’s Bench
here to-day for a writ of certiorari to quarii
the verdict of willful murder rendered by
the Coroner’s jury against the policemen
who did the shooting at Mitchellstown.
The application being unopposed by the At
torney General, was granted.
The appeals of Messrs. O’Brien and Man
deville, from the sentence pronounced upon
them will be heaixl by the Recorder of Cork
at Mitchellstown, Oct. SI.
The eviction of Clancy from his holding
on the Vendeleur estate was null and void.
The evicting party could not find Clancy,
he being concealed in a box in his shop.
davitt’s arrival.
Michell Davitt was given a splendid recep
tion on his arrival at Queenstown to-day
from New York. In a speech thanking
the assemblage he declared that the Irish
race in America was more earnest than
ever in the cause of home rule, and that
American public opinion was unequivocally
pronounced against coercion. He consulted
courage, determination, and self sacrifice
as a sure means to secure the early success
of Ireland's cause.
Asa result of the revision of the lists of
voters the Nationalist leaders claim that
they would win three other Ulster seats in
the event of an election Messrs. Cox and
Kheehy, the Nationalist members of Parlia
ment,"will be prosecuted on account of the
language they used in recent speeches in
Clare.
LONDON’S MOB.
A Red Flag Causes a Stampede in
Hyde Park.
London, Oct. 20.—A number of Socialists
and unemployed workmen gathered in
Hyde Park to-day. One of the speakers un
rolled and waved a red flag, crying: “The
glorious Commune.” A section of the mob
thereupon stampeded. Scores of persons in
the crowd were thrown dowu and trampled
upon. Those who stampeded reassembled
later in another portion of the park. The
erewd appointed a deputation to visit the
home office. Upon the arrival there of the
deputation they found that the
Home Secretary was absent, but they
secured an interview with a minor secre
tary, who promised that he would present
their views to the Home Secretary upon his
return. A large crowd hod followed the
deputation from the park to the Home
Office and congregated about the building.
After the interview was concluded the
police charged the crowd, but were mot
with resistance. A short but sharp struggle
followed, in which the police were finally
successful in dispersing the mob. Many
persons in the crowd were injured and a
number of arrests were made.

ciergerie.
Detectives in with Criminals.
Moscow,Oct.2o. —Eleven detective officers
have just been found guilty of conniving at
crimes of notorious robbers. Five of them

were few, but the Czar commanded that se
vere sentences be imposed. A well-known
thief named Tokolow denounced the officers
to the Czar in a private letter.
An Australian Steamer Wrecked.

KANSAS’ PROHIBITION LAW.
Its Constitutionality at Stake In the
Supreme Court.
Washington, Oct. 20.—1 tis understood
that the Attorney General of Kansas and
the Prohibitionists of the State aro feeling
much regret at the fact that when the
liquor case of the State vs. Ziebold and
Hazelin, which involve* the constitutional
ity of the Kansas prohibition law, came up
for bearing in the United States Supreme
Court on the first day of the present term,
there was no oral argument in the State’s
behalf. The failure of the Attorney Gen
eral to appear and argue the case orallv is
said to have been due to some misapprehen
sion with regard to the ilay
for which the case was assigned.
In order that the questions involved in
that case may not be decided until the
court shall have heal’d oral argument in
support of the Kansas law, Samuel W.
Packard, of Chicago, will ondoavor to
morrow to get the court to entertain a
motion to advance similar cases from lowa
and one from Georgia presenting the same
questions, and to postpone the decision
of the Ziebold and Hazelin case
until the oral argument shall have
been heard in the former. To-morrow is
not a regular motion day in the United
States Supreme Court, but in view of the
possibility that the decision may be an
nounced on Monday in the eases already
submitted and [tending, the Prohibitionists
who are interested in tho question to be do- 1
termined are anxious that the motion should
be made to-morrow. If the court' will not i
entertain it, end if a decision should not tie j
rendered in the Ziebold and Hazelin case on
Monday the motion will then lie renewed.
If the decision should tie in favor of the
liquor men the prohibition movement would
have to wait an amendment of the United
State Constitution, for the State could not
enforce prohibition laws.

BOSTON’S MAYOR BLACKBALLED.
The Charitable Mechanics’ Association
Refuses Him Membership.
Boston, Oct. 2U—At the quarterly meet
ing of the Massachusetts Charitable Me
chanics’ Association, held last evening, mi
unusual thing occurred. A candidate for
membership of good social and business
standing was rejected. This is re,markable
on account of the two-thirds vote electing,
and more remarkable, doubtless, on
account of the rejected applicant
tieing tho Mayor of Boston. The adverse
vote upon the Mayor’s application for mem
bership is the talk of the town to-day. At
the City Hall the news created a sensation.
Everybody talked aliout it and wondered
what it meant. The Mayor’s Secretary
told a reporter that hi* honor did not care
to make any statement about the matter.
All seem to agree that it is a matter of
politics. _

A SOCIETY AFTER NURSES.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20.—Jacob
Huff, Grand Dictator of tho Knights of
Honor of this State, was on the streets here
this morning searching for yellow fever
nurses to go to Tampa to nurse the members
of that order who are sick there.
Tho Knights of Pythias have a very flour
ishing lodge there, and it is understood here
by members of the order that they are
doing good work in assisting sick and desti
tute memliors of the order. Private letters
received here indicate much suffering, and
the indications are that aid will Vie asked
for from abroad. It should be given with
a generous hand, for Tampa has suffered a
blow that will be felt for years.
The Palntka ladies are braver than the
men, judging from the many who remained
there instead of leaving in the first mad
rush. It is said that one of the first to leave
“on business” was a prominent puysician
and a so-called yellow fever expert. Speak
ing of the spunk of tho Palatka fair ones a
lady there sent by mail to-day and ordered
a quantity of fancy worsteds, saxony yarns,
etc. This sensible one desires to keep fully
employed, and her selection of material
shows she is not alarmed at all. Another
lady, one residing near the Woolsey house,
where the death occurred, wrote to a friend
here in reply to sympathetic messages, and
said she was not alarmed. Sho added that
she did not leave, as at that time they (her
self and children) bad been exposed to all
the infection they would be likely to, and
if they were to lie sick at all she preferred
to be at home, where comfort and good care
and attention could lie had.
Tho Health Board met at 4 o’clock this
afternoon for a short session, A permit
was given for through |>assengers from
Havana and Key West, via the Plant

per hour. No communication is allowed at
Tampa, the train backing down on the
wharf 1,000 feet from the shore. Dr. Wylly
to-day telegraphed for funds to carry ou
tho cordon, as he has spent the $1,500 given
by Orange county. Five hundred dollars
were voted to be sent at once, and more
will be sent soon.

gramme arranged for to-day at the races

with a party of friends, had
left the judges’ stand and gone to the club

tion was prompt in trying to relievo him,
but his condition was soon made manifest.
He had died of heart disease.
When the announcement was made that
Coi. Montgomery was dead the saddest of
scenes was introducced. His three
daughters and son, S. B. Montgomery, Sec
retary of the jockey club, were grief stricken
and they were not the only mourners over
the dead body. Every one in the room was
affected, and the scene of joy was at once’
changed to that of sorrow.

*7 FOR THE ANARCHISTS.
A Meeting of Sympathy Which Didn't*
Net Much Money.
New York, Oct. 20 —Cooper Union Hall
was well filled to-night in response to a call
issued by the Central labor Union for a
public meeting to protest against the execu
tion of tiie seven Anarchists iu Chicago. A
collection was taken up for the Anarchist
and fense fund and for the expenses of the
meeting. The amount, realised was $57.
As the rent of the hall was $5O there re.
mained only $7 to go to the Anarchist fund.
Speeches were made by Cortland Palmer.
Samuel Gompes. of the Federation of
Trades, and William McCabe, of Typo
graphical Union No. 6, disavowing sympa
thy with anarchism, but advocating every
right of the condemned Anarchist® to a free
and impartial trial.
THE APPEAL.
Washington, Oct. 20. —Gen. Roger A.
Pryor and Messrs. Black and Solomon ar
rived this evening and had a conference
with ex-Represeutative John Kundolph
Tucker at the latter's office, to-night, pre
l>aratory to the hearing which Associate
Justice Harlan, of the United States Su
preme Court, will give to-morrow morning
to their application for a writ of error in
behalf of the condemned Anarchists. The
principal point which the counsel for tha
Anarchists will make in support of their ap
plication is that the Illinois statute of 1874,
providing that talesmen shall not be consid
ered disqualified as juror* bt cause they have
formed impressions from newspaper a<
counts is contrary to the constitution of tha
State of Illinois and also to the constitution
of the United States. They have other
claims but this seems to be the chief one.
Gen. Butler agrees perfectly with them.
They all expect that the application for tha
writ of error will tie granted. The case
might hang in the Supreme Court for three
years in that event, ir it should not be ad
vanced, but it undoubtedly would be ad
vanced.
RAHWAY'S MYSTERY.
A Belief that the Dead Girl's Identity
Has Been Established.
New York, Oct. 20.—Evidence of an im
portant character, pointing more directly
to Annie Ingraham as the murdered girl
found at Rahway, was found to-day. She
has been identified by means of a picture of
the dead girl, by a knife, chemise, English
jietticoat, fur cape, and the ring found on
the dead girl, by different persons
in whose employ she was in this country.
Detectives Gregory and Fitzgerald have
tlirown suspicion on her second husband,
Crawford, who cannot be found, but was an
inoffensive, though drinking nun. Mean
while they have sought to connect Martin
with the mystery.
