The Greatest Day in the History
of Kentucky Politics.
TOWS' FAIR SWEEP AT LEXISCTOX.
Tufnty Thousand People, Seven Thousand
of Who,., Are Ladles, Applaud His
I-very l tterance—The 1 ight
in the Ashland IHstriet,
Lexington, Ky., August 23.—Yestet
day was a gala day for Owens. Coun
try people attended the Owens barbe
cue at Woodland Park in swarms, all
wearing either a badge or a button
showing their choice in the now highly
sensational congressional race. Scarce
ly a t ettle or Breekinaidge badge could
be seen and it seems as’ if everybody
favoring the election of either of these
candidates had left the town or were
keeping indoors.
Owens was up early and ready for the
gieatest day in the history of congres
sional politics in Kentucky. P,v the
time trains from different points began
to arrive the streets were alive with a
surging mass of humanity. The Breck
inridge forces were distributing little
slips of paper on which was printed:
“Breckinridge and brains.”
There were thousands of women on
the streets and the cars could not carry
the people to Wdbdlund Park fast
enough. The Payette Owens Club,
•1500 strong, formed on Main street to
join in behind the Woodford, Scott
and other delegations which came in on
the {Southern road. The street cars
brought the bulk of ladies who came
with the Georgetown delegation but a
great many of then liad to walk.
Mr. Owens accompanied by President
Barney Tracey, Ji '.go C. \V. Binkead
and 1). K. Frauzee, headed the proces
sion and when passing under the large
Breckinridge banner on Main street
Mr. Owens raised bis hat. The carriage
was followed by the State Guards and
then came the Woodford delegation,
1,000 strong. The Scott county dele
gation followed with 2.135 men in line.
A large handsome banner bearing the
picture of Mr. Owens was carried just
behind the band of music. Numerous
banners on which “Faithful to his trust
is lion. W. C. Owens," “After the fun.
the shoutiikg*" •’He lias never betrayed
a trust,” “Scott County endorses
him,” etc.
From Georgetown there was 415
ladies. This delegation was followed
by the Georgetown colered band and a
banner on which was printed, “The
Ashland district will be proud of him.”
There were probably 8.000 people in
line.
The speaking was of the highest char
acter ever herd in this district. There
were over 7,000 ladies alone in the audi
ence and oyer 10,000 men. All speakers
were enthusiastically received. Owens
was at his best. Politicians in general
pronounce the occasion Breckinridge's
Waterloo.”
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Young Boy in Florida Struck as He Kilters
the Door of His Home.
Anthony, Fla., August 23.—Yester
day Willie Stranathan, aged 12 years,

ear and run down the right side and
leg, passing out at the foot and tearing
a hole in the floor. From the boy's
right ear to the little toe of the right
foot there was a dark blue streak. His
clothing on the right side was slit as
though cut with a sharp knife and his
right shoe was torn to pieces.

OTHER SIDES HEARD
Testimony for Pullman and the
Railroads Submitted.
REST ON THE WITNESSES FOR LABOR.
The Investigation Before the National
Strike Commission Still On. ami the
Interest in the Testimony
Grows—l.ast Witness.
Chicago, August 23. —At the opening
of yesterday's session of the National
Labor committee. Chairman Wright an
nounced that the majority of the wit
nesses for labor had been heard and
that the railroau.s and the Pullman
company would now be allowed to pre
sent their side of the case. “We have
still." continued Mr. Wright, "a num
ber of labor leaders to hear who live
outside of Chicago, but who have not
yet been able to get here. They will
be heard at the proper time. In the
meantime, we have been furnished by
the Pullman company and by the rail
roads with a large number of names of
witnesses. These will now be called in
the order in which they appear on the
list.”
The first witness was Frank W. T.
Glover, a Chicago real estate agent. He
said from an outside inspection of the
Pullman houses (he had never been in
side of them) they were much more in
viting than the ones rented by him at
Kensington for sl2 a month. He said
there was no sewerage at Kensington
and no repairing there as there is at
Pullman. Pe declared rents had not
been reduced at Kensington.
Paul Hermes, an ex-employe of the
Pullman companj’, now a news agent
there, testified that lie thought his resi
dence of nine rooms in Pullman was
cheap at $35 a month.
William K. McKay, a reporter for the
Chicago Mail, testified that, he had been
present at many labor meetings and had
never heard the strike leaders counsel
violence.
Alex Lunggruen, a Pullman employe,
was the first witness to testify at the
afternoon session. He thought he had
been treated fairly by the Pullman
company. Employes, lie said, were not
afforded an opportunity to tell their
grievances; that was the main difficulty.
He returned to work at Pullman after
the striks and was obliged to sign an
agreement to have nothing further to
do with the American railway union in
order to get his position back.
AS THE LABOR STANDS IDLE.
The Practical Result of the Textile Strike
Among; Pall River .Manufacturers.
Fall River, Mass., August 23.—The
spinners at the Sanford Spinning com
pany’s works went oat on a strike last
night, refusing to work under a fur
ther reduction. The back boys in the
Globe yarn mills have left their work
and the spinners there are idle. The
following corporations have shut down
for an indefinite period : Ana wan, Bar
nard, Cornell, Durfee's Nos. 1 and 2 ;
Flint, Hargrave’s No. 1 ; Granite No. 3;
Laural Lake, Robinson. Sagamore, Bor
den City one mill, Stafford two mills,
Tecumseh one mill, YVampanoag two
mills, and Weetamoe one mill. The
Shove mills will close today and the
American linen mills will close Satur
day night. The number of looms run
ning in the other mills varies from 50
to 1,000.
It has been learned beyond question
that the executive committee of the
Manufacturer's Association met yester
day afternoon and voted all mills under
their control to close tonight for an
indifinite period. The order will cause
the throwing of 2,500 people out of
work, and the stoppage of plants vari
ously estimated at $40,000,000 to $50,-
000,000 in value.

Spent the Day in Getting a Quorum.
Washington, August 23.—The ses
sion of the senate yesterday lasted only
an hour and tlir-'e-quarters— most of

attendance of absent senators, and.
after waiting more than an hour, it

lowed.

MAYOR BROWELL’S CALL.
Deplores the Coudltions at New Bedford
and Urges Conference Settlement.
New Bedford, Mass., August 23.
Mayor Browell has issued the followipg
call: "The fact that 10,000 operatives
in our city are unemployed is a public
calamity of 80 much importance to all
classes of citizens that I feel justified
in making an attempt to relieve the city
of this unhappy and embarrassing situ
ation so fatal to New Bedford's inter
ests. I feel that if citizens represent
ing our mill management or interests,
and also those representing the opera
tives, will come together and confer
and consider the situation in the spirit
of the greatest good to the greatest
number, some course may be
mined upon which will be of benefit to
all concerned. A fire is much more
easily extinguished at its commence
ment than after the structure is afiame
while the saving of property is vastly
greater. I therefore invite representa
tives of the mill corporations and opera
tives to meet in room 4. Library build
ing. this Thursday evening at 8
o'clock. Let us meet as citizens imbued
with a spirit of reconciliation and a de
sire to accomplish what is for the best
interests of our city.
Stephen A. Browell, Mayor.”
CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Indications That the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association Will Do Ahead.
Coney Ist.and, N. Y., August 23. —
The Southern Railway and Steamship
Association was called to order yester
day afternoon in a meeting supple
mentary to that held here in July,
when the questions regarding rates
and the continuance of the association
for another year were discussed. Gen
eral J. tV. Thomas, president of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
road, of Nashville, was chairman. Sec
retary W. L. McGill, of Atlanta, Ga.,
reported that the tentative agreement
to restore rates until September 1,
after the cutting which prevailed from
June l until the July meeting, had
been signed by all but about a dozen
roads, which are apparently waiting
the outcome of the present session. As
the meeting adjourned soon after roll
call until 10 o’clock today", it is evident
that the session is to last two or three
days. It seems probable that the asso
ciation will be continued for another
year if present indications of harmony'
prevail, and Colonel E. B. Stahlman
will evidently be continued as commis
sioner, unless some opponent for the
place and salary of $15,000 comes sud
denly in view.
RATE WAR IN THE WEST.
By Contriving: a Person Can Travel Very
Cheaply.
St. Louis, August 23. —Advices
Texas show that a red hot rate war has
resulted in the ha” ling of passengers
from Waco and Houston to this city for
95 cents and sl. At AA’aco. round trip
tickets over the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas to AAkishington are sold for $25,
the rate from Texas points to AVashing
ton. on account of the i/ational encamp
ment of the knights of pythias. In
selling tickets, scalpers allow those de
siring it a rebate at St. Louis of $24. At
Houston'the rate for the round trip to
St. Louis is sls, but the scalpers are
having the agents extend lay-over time
at St. Louis onJ,he S2O AA'ashington tic
ket. The scalpers can thus send a man
to St. Louis and back for sl.

the result of a previous dispute be
tween the negro and white men. Mur
rell was arrested and Linchard escaped.

THE WORLD CHANGES
Name of Pulitzer Dropped From
the Pages of the Great Daily.
SPECULATION AS TO FUTURE PLANS.
Believed Tlmt a Stoek Company lias Been
Organized, and That the Publication
Will l>e ( entinued by the Same.
Sensation In Press Circles.
New York, August 23. —A report was
current along Park Row this
morning that the World newspaper had
either experienced a great change in
management or had been made a stoek
company. The reason for this report
lay in the fact that the name of Joseph
Pulitzer lias disappeared from the head
of the editorial page, where it has ever
been since he bought the property.
Last Saturday this was the heading at
the top of the tirst column :
"The World —Joseph Pulitzer —Pub-
lished every day in the year at Nos.
53-63 Park Row.”
On Sunday it ran thus:
“The World —Published by the Press
Publishing Company, 58 to 63 Park
Row.”
It has continued to read thus ever
since, with the exception tiiat yester
day the number “58” was changed to
“5:3.” the former being probeibly a typo
graphical error, as Frankfort street,
on the corner of which the Pulitzer
building stands, begins at No. 53 Park
Row. This change in the heading of
the editorial pag’e recalls the fact that
a similar disappearance of the name of
James Gordon Bennetc from the head
of the editorial page of the Herald
went two or three days before tlie an
nouncement that the lterald had been
formed into a stock company, of which,
however, Mr. Bennett continued to be
the chief owner.
The “Press Publishing Company” has
for some 1 time been the title under
which the World secured copyrights
for its articles of especial value. Colo
nel Jones, editor, and S. S. Carvalho,
manager of the paper, are both out of
town, and in their absence none of the
staff would deny or confirm the report.
STORY OF CORRUPTION YET ON.
Fifth Days’ Trial of Now York I’olicemen
On Charges of Kriberfy.
New York. August 23. —Yesterday
was the fifth day of the trial of an as
sorted lot of policemen on bribery
charges. It was another day of spats
and bulldozing between counsels and
commissioners. Some of the testimony
on Saturday aifd yesterday was as
unique as it was unexpected. One wit
ness. Hoffman, who testified that he
wanted to open a house of ill fame, and
to his consequent dealings with Cap
tain Devey and Wardman Glennon, was
discounted. His declarations were very
flat-footed, but his admission that he
had been three time's in the peniten

DRAWING THE PARALLEL.
Republicans Use Cleveland's Fetter to Wil
son as a Campaign Document.
Washington, August 23.—The repub
lican congressional campaign commit
tee has sent out over 590,000 copies of
the Congressional Record containing
the letter of President Cleveland to
Chairman Wilson denunciatory of the
senate bill. It will be used as the
strongest card in the fall campaign and
republican members generally antici
pate sme remarkable results from it.
They reason that Mr. Blaine’s charge
that the McKinley bill did not open a
foreign market for a bushel of wheat or
a barrel of pork was one of the causes
that led to the remarkable reversal of
their political fortunes in 1892. Mr.
Cleveland, they think, has done for the
democrats what Mr. Blaine did for the
republicans at that time.

will go to the post, Martin will prob
ably ride Keenan and Griffin will have
the mount on Butterflies. This filly
has all her speed, and with Trainer Hy
land's careful nursing may last long
enough to win the great prize for the
dark blue colors.. If the race was run
tomorrow she would be by all odds the
favorite. Hyland's skill will bepnt to a
supreme test with this filly, and all
lovers of the thoroughbred will- wish him
success. The colt Monaco has been do
ing well. which is also true of Mr. Bel
mont's brother to Potomac, and Byron
McClelland's Halma. By Thursday the
futurity field will be pretty well known.
Counter Tenor is doing his work much
after the fashion shown by him in the
spring. Ilis stable companion, Gotham,

turity. Mr. Ruppert will probably
start Manchester, as well as Counter
Tenor. Connoisseur is sure to. give a
good account of himself and the Sara
