Lexington, Ky., Aug. 22.—As early
as 8 o'clock Cnie morning people com
menced swarming the screens here, pre
paratory -to amending the Mg Owens
barbecue at Wood hind park. Country
people are here by tne score, all wear
ing either a badge or -a butron showing
thoh- choice la -The now highly eens-a-
tioiKit congressional race. Bciurcely a
Seale yr -Breckinridge badge could be
been, and ][ seems as If everybody
favoring -the election of either of these
oandid.nces (had left the town or were
keeping Indoors. The day is beautiful
and -.-ae bright sun cast its rays
-through the beautiful oak treea In
Woodland park and added- to the
Cheerfulness of the scene. There
everything was In perfect readiness.
Scores of beeves arid sheep have been
cooked and burgoo. Is ready ■ to be
dished out by the gallon.
The street in front of Florentine ho
tel bidding was so lull of people it was
almost Impossible to pass on main
street. Those who will pantl'dpalte in
the oratory were aUso on the streets
early. Owens was up and ready for
the greatest day in the (history of con
gressional politics in Kentucky. By
the time trains from differenlt points be
gan to arrive, the street* were alive
with a surging mass of humanity.
The Breckinridge force* were distribu
ting little sips of paper on which was
printed: "Breckinridge and brains."
There were thousands of women on the
streets and lire. oars could not carry
the people to Woodland park fust
enough. 1
The FVayette Owens cltfb, 2,600 strong,
formed on main street to Jolrf In behind-
the Woodford; Scoot and other delega
tions, which caipe in on the Sout-hern
raid. The street cars breugnt the bulk
of -the ladies' who came with- the
Geoigetown delegation, bun a great
many of -them had to walk. Mr. Ow
ens. accompanied by President Barney
Tracey, Judge G. W. Klnkend and D.
E. Frazee, headed the procession, and
when passing under the atrge Breckin
ridge banner on Main street, Mr. Ow
ens raised his -h,.a;. The oarriage nvu3
followed by the state guards and then
oame the Woodford delegation, 1,000
strong. The Scot* County delegatljn
followed with 136 men in line. A large,
handsome banner bearing -the picture
of Mr. Owens wa* - carried Jus;, behind
the band of music. Numerous banners
■were borne, on which "faithful to his
trusts is, Hon. H. V. Owens,” “after
the fun, the aborning," “He has never
betrayed a trust," Soott county en
dorses him."
From Georgetown there were 416 la
dles, -Uhls delegation -was followed by
the Georgetown. oolored band and a
large banner on which mis printed
“The Ashlaud district will be proud of
him." There .were probably 8,000 peo-
pcl In line.
Judge J. R. Morton of this city made
a thrilling address. Introducing Hon.
George -B. Klnke'.d. Judge-Morton said
that it was unfortunate that there was
a division of the strength opposed to
the renomtnatlan of Breckinridge. He
thought the people would finally tri
umph in the defeat Of Breckinridge nnd
that Mr. Settle, the third man tn the
race, would not recelvo much support,
as soon as It was found that Owens Is
the contending man against III -kla-
ridge. He said the 20,000 people leav
ing their homes today and turning out
in one mighty protest against the re-
nomtnatlon of Breckinridge would seul
hts doom.
Judge Klnkead’s arraignment of Col.
Breckinridge was one of the most bril
liant ever heard. He fold ot the In
consistency of Breckinridge, reviewing
hla entire life and putting In a dramatic
way the proceeding* of Judge Bradley’s
court in Washington. "See him ns he
introduces hts mistress Into the school
at which your daughter are taught and
of which he la a trustee," he Bald, In
a bunt at eloquence. Ansumlng Ibe
role of Marc Antony, Mr. Klnkead tokl
of the deception praqtlced by Breckin
ridge oh Mrs. Blackburn, the widow of
a man whom Kentucky was proud to
ton or.
He was fo'Jooved by Professor C. M.
Albert, a local politician, who went
after Breckinridge for Unit axing, he was
was the only man in the district fit to
represent It In congress. "What a ca
lamity would befall us If he were to
die." sai l Che speaker, and the applause
which followed tasted several minute*.
Mr. Owens’ arraignment of Ool.
Breckinridge was the most scathing
•that has yet been delivered In the cam
paign. lie told how the colonel would
quake when In battle, completely dis
figuring his war record. In referring
to Breckinridge’s repentence for hla
long years of dual life, he said that
should he commit a crime for which
a negro would be lynched in Kentucky
tomorrow, he would tell his friends he
wa* penitent and declare to those who
disapproved the deed that he was a fit
subject to send to congress and defy
them to way aught against him. The
address of Mr. Owens win heartily re
ceived and the 8.000 women present ex
pressed much cnthusliem.

John Fitzgerald, assistant fire marshal
of Chicago, read a long list of cars, tow.
ers and other railroad property burned,
showing great loss to the railroads. The
oldest person ho ever ••uw setting Are
to cars was 19 years of age. All the rtst
were m**re boys. He had seen no railroad
employes doing Incendiary work. One?
railroad men helped him to extinguish a
blaze. He bad r.een a man cut fire hose,
but did no; recognize him. The crowds
hod never obstructed the work of tho
department that he knew of. I£e did not
know' If f!ie Incendiary boya had been
Instigated bjr the strikers. One hundred
and forty-seven cars, flvo shanties six
depots and eight towers were burned In
his district from July 6 to July 8 Inclusive,
thla being the period of greatest violence
of ’ Incendiarism.
Dr. John McLean of Pullman told of
the attitude of the company toward tho
men .injured while at work. His duty was
to care for all such men until they re
covered. He did not think a hospital
necessary at Pullman. He anid the com
pany paid the expense* at a hospital down
town of ell men hurt while Ip Its employ.
In the charges, men whose hands hud
been hurt, the witness said, fhey had
employed another Junior doctor, and there
by ignored the company In the matter.
Payment.ol their expenses at the hospital
had been refused by th? company on
that*account. Dr. McLean asserted tbwt
the trouble at Pullman was, in a measure,
due to the use of liquor by the employes.
In 4.909 cases of Injun-' the witness had
never seen the company refuse to pay all
the expenses connected therewith, besides
drug store bills amounting to II.7W an
