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.

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.

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.

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 tiary, and that he was a perfectly reck less person was equally deliberate. Commissioner Sheehan again got after Inspector McLaughlin. He claims that a house was running unmolested when the ihspcctor was captain. Kilpatrick, a builder, claims that he was black mailed by the police, and offers to fur nish Commissioner Kervvin with a list of the builders who paid bribes to the police. 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. THE ADVANCEMENT OFSCIENCE Members of the American Association, Af ter a Rest, Resume Their Session. New York. August 23. —The members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, after a two days’ rest, have resumed their session in Brooklyn. The first event on the pro gramme was a meeting of the Council, which was, as usual, an executive one. A general meeting was then held in the chapel of the Polytechnic Institute. The Californta Academy of Science, the city authoritives of San Francisco, and the University of California extended an invitation to the scientists to hold their next meeting in San Francisco. The meeting will probably be accepted. MISSED ITS PURPOSE. An Order Organized to Keep Religion Out of Politics !s Declining. St. Louis, Mo., August 23.—W. H. garland, a prominent merchant, has written a letter announcing his with drawal from the American Protective Association.

Speculation Regarding Ibe Prominent Candidates. New York, August 23.—Concerning the race for the futurity stakes, which is to be run at Slieepshead Bay on Sat urday. and which is worth 8 *O.OOO to the winner, “Centaur," the Commercial Ad vertiser's turf writer says: The Gideon and Daly futurity candidates will be at Slieepshead today. It is likely that Waltexer,* Keenan and the Butterflies 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, is now at his best, but is not in the fu 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 toga fair will be found to have bene titted Pierre Lori Hard's Liza. SUING SECRETARY CARLISLE. A Discharged .snipping Commander Asks tlie Courts to Reinstate Him. Washington, August 28. Argument on the application of Mr. Littleton 'l'. Dryden, of Baltimore, Md., to the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia, for a writ of mandamus di rected against Secretary Carlilse to compel him to restore- tlxc petitioner to the position he lately held as United States Shipping Commissioner at the port of Baltimore, was begun yester day. The plaintiff s lawyer declared that, the petitioner could not legally be removed from his office without cause, and that Dr. Dryden had performed his duties satisfactorily. Assistant Attor ney-General Whitney, for Secretary Carlisle, held that the court had no jurisdiction to review a decision of the Secretary of the Treasury. The court took the matter under advisement.
