His visit brought forth the one pre-eminent fact that the present fight over the Eighteenth Illinois district's seat in Congress has never fer years been as hot as it is this fall, and partisan feeling has never reach ed its present height. Nbt only are the different committee! straining themselves to their utmost ou behalf of their respec tive candidates, but the nominees themselves are down among the boys working like beavers. Every factory, ev- eryfoiling mill, every place where men are congregated in the district is visited by Needles and Morrison, and every effort made to influence tne voters one way or another.

Atlanta, October 21.—The little town of Kington, on the Western and Atlantic railroad, just above Cartersville, was the victim of a destructive fire this morning. The two hotels of the town, the Johnson House and the Couch House, and thre •Lire buildings, making up a block just arro-s fro u the depot, were totally do •iny^d. Thr fire was so hot, I am t id i ha the schedule trains fontid it imposdble *o stop at the depot hm ran on through, and even then the rides of the coach were considerably scorched. At this time I have not learn ed the e t innte 1 loss, or the amount of into mice, but these facts will be forth- c tiling latrr.

Forty-fifth, Fortv-sixtb, Forty- seventh and Forty-eighth Congresses. His renomination has been a stereotyped affair, and bis election almost a foregone conclusion until this year, when a man of a new type is put up against him, and one who has the power to concentrate all the forces of the opposition. Huch a man is Mr. Thomas Neelies. If Mr. Morrisou thinks that bis election this year will be accomplished with the same ease qs it has in the past, he has been deceived as to the true feeling of the people, and the popu larity of hta present rival undereitimated to him. You ask the ordinary voter of the district why he votes for Morrison, and he will go on to tell you what a d—d good fellow Bill is, how ne makes friends with everybody, how he corns* to all the balls and public meetings and how thor oughly he is one of the boy*. But this year there is a man opposed to him who has all these qualifications, too, whose stronghold in his social popularity and persoual magnetism, and who has come 1 adopt the same tactics that have proved successful to Mr. Morrison. This fact forces the enemy to took around for new methods and to find some issue which, in addition to his personal charms, rnay meet with favor in the eyes of his constituents. It is in exactly thii necessity that can be recognized the cause of Mr. Morrison’a probable defeat next raontb. When he turns to the most prominent question of the canvass be finds that he is on the wrong side of it, and is obliged to spend a good deal of protesting against being call ed a free-trader. This ia where Mr. Needles has the advantage. When he goes among the factory and mill bands he tells them that the prosperity of the country and their own thriving condition are due to the protective policy now in foroe, and that Mr. Morrison wanted to change it all by reducing the tarifl and admitting foreign competition. This di rect appeal to their own interests is more werful than All the arguments that can used to show the truth of the free trade theory, and consequently they are inclined to vote for a roan who pledges tick by the protective policy. jng-mdl hands who, marched iu Baturday night’s torchlight procession have always uu to this year voted the Democratic ticket and Supported Mr. Morrison, but now they are dlsaati-fied with bis free trade tendencies and have decided to work for Needles. A Crave Crisis- New York Star. We have always contended that the kind of advocacy Indulged in by the New York Times, Herald and Post has been harmful rather than helpful to Governor Cleveland. And now, at the gravest crisis of the cam paign, these journals show their real ani mus by declaring, almost in so many words, that the first duty of the Democra cy is, not the election cf Cleveland, but the defeat of Tammany. The leaders of the County Democracy and of two or three little guerilla factions, professedly devoted to the Democratic na tional ticket, are scouring the city in quest of some Democrat endowed withmoro money than brains or patriotism, to head a second Democratic ticket and, if possi ble. electa Republican mayor over Hugh J. Grant. Noting such tactics here on the heels of the Ohio contest, it is not surpris ing that the Troy Standard should exclaim: “In every campaign since the war the Re publicans have been given abundant evi dence that the party opposed to them is nothing more formidable than any organi zation of political idiots. Give the Dem ocracy rope enough and it will commit suicide when its prospects are the bright est.” It cannot truthfully be said that Demo cratic prospects for gaining the Presidency are superlatively bright just now. Wheth er the party shall commit suicide or shall make a bold rally for soccers, depends mainly upon the aciion to be taken in this city. There is a strong, clean, popular local Democratic ticket in the field. The record and character oi every man upon D will bear the sharpest scrutiny. Let all Democrats indorse it without haggling or hesitation, and the tidings of union and harmony will go forth to inspire the work- era elsewhere, giving them confidence and courage. On the other hand, let an opposition Democratic ticket be pat np here and the old cry ol dissensions and betrayal wiil go out to paraivze hope not only in New York, but in New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut. Every man of intelligence knows that a moral certainty of carrying New York is the only thing that can in fuse enthusiasm into the other doubtful States we have mentioned. Let there be a factional fight in the metropolis and it will be extremely doubtful whether the Democracy carry a solitary Northern State. It has been repeatedly said, and unjust ly, that Tammany's first thought is for the local offices. Tammany, however, is not ■wui uim.c.1 Ulail jr , uuwclDIi 19 UUb in the attitude of a kicker or malcontent this time. It ia the Connty Democracy, the organization so favored by the Govern, or, that pronoses to make all the trohble over local offices, regardless of the discs trons effect upon Cleveland’s fortunes. Doubtless it will be charged that these remarks of the Star are obviously calcula ted to bring aii Demucrata here Into line for the suDport of the ticket headed by Hngh J. Grant. Perhaps that may be, too; but the Stor has simply stated facts, and the Star has rot gone far as ray in its reckonings throughout the campaign thua far. M. FRASER CRANr’S OlSAPPEARANCE. FERDINAND WARD IN JAIL. Hit Unruffled and Exemplary Life as It Ap pears to the Warden, ff. V. Sun. Ferdinand Ward still occupies his old quarters in Ludlow street jail. The only callers ho has are his wife, who spends three or four days a week with him, and his counsel, who appear about once week. “He's a nice, quiet soul,” said Warden Phil Klernan, “and is thankful for any thing that I do for him. If he feela well he says to me that he feels obliged, and when the sun shines he Isn't latlaSed un less I smoke one of his Relnas. He' afraid to look out of the window for fear a reporter will fee him. He says to me, Reports About His Business Transac tions in Savannah. Savannah News. The disappearance of Mr. H. Fraser Grant and hla reputed crooked business transactions were the general topic of con versation yesterday. Humors of all kinds were afloat, and the extent of the losses of those who had trusted to bis integrity was placed at fijnres ranging from *39,000 up to as high as *00.000 Yesterday being Sunday, it was dlfflcnlt, In fact almost lm possible, to discover the full particulars of Grant's shortcomings. He had con ducted a large cotton, naval stores and rice business in this city for a number of vears past nnder tbv name of If. F. Grant & t.'o. This Arm was dissolved a month or so ago by the withdrawal of Mr. E. E. Cheatham, since which time the business has been carried on in the name ol H. F. Grant. Grant was also a rice planter, and last year was president if the Savannah board of tra»le, and was conildered a mer chant of the highest commercial integrity. The report, therefore, that be had gone wrong waa like a thunderbolt oat of an unclouded sky. He was probably one ol the last men in the city who would have been suspected of doing anything open to ihe slightest suspicion of irregularity. From the many rumors aflost, tne fol lowing appears to be about the facts in the case: On Saturday. Mr. C. h.

Spending Two Nights Alone at Sea on a Sinking Yacht. New York Sun. Mr. Ernest Hastings, of Bath, L. I., the owner of the sloop yacht Bonita, invited Eli6t Smith and Emlen Franklin, of this city, last week to join him in a three- weeks'duck-shooting cruise along the Jer sey coast. On Tuesday morning at 10 clock the sportsmen started for Barnegat Inlet. Franklin, who is only 18 years old, and who studied navigation on the choolshlp St. Mary’s before be.became a clerk in'his grandfather’s store in William street, took the helm. He carried the cht ten miles an hour under reefed main sail and jib until Sandy Hook was reached, and then let the sans out a reef to increase the speed and make the inlet early in the •veninK. Towards the close'of the/lay the wind blew so stiffly that the young hels- man couldn't manage things with the ease had hoped to, and finally, before little party of duck shooters fully real ized their situation, the yacht was driven clean out of her course, and was tumbling in the heavy white-caps that broke with a roar on the Barnegat shore. Young Franklin saw thedanger and flung himself against the helm to turn the yact away from the shore. He bore too heavily on the rudder, and the next instant the yacht jibed, and everything movable, Including the yawl boat, the water cask, the two sportsmen, and Franklin himself, were tumbled indiscriminately into the Atlan tic Directly afterward the yacht righted and started out to sea of its own accord on a starboard tack. It was jnst&p. m., and the water was as cold as ice and the breeze blowing like a steam whistle. Hastings and Smith struck out with shireiing vigor, and, after an uncomfortable struggle with the waves, canght on to the over turned } awl and water keg. After being unmercifully usedi by the angry breakers for half an hour, they were finally washed ashore with a thump by a big wave. It was near life saving station 16 at Barnegat, and they were hospita )Iy treated by bluff Capt. Allen Allgore. The whole life saving crew made a search along the beach for young Franklin’s body. They came back -* dawn unsuccessful. At 7 o’clock on Thursday morning the lookout of the steamship Rio Grande, bound for Galveston, narfrtil nl Mm Bonita bnffeting the waves. A bronzed young man, who was wearily working a in with one hand, waved a white dkerchief wildly with the other and hoarsely shouted for help. The rail of tbe yacht at this time was awash. A boat put quickly •ut off to it. As it bumped against be sun wales, Franklin, in dry clothes, with two handsome fowdng pieces under one arm and a valise unoer-the other. ; umped into it, dropped his luggage, seized he c jxswain’s horny hand and wrung it for about two minutes. “You’ve saved my life,” he said, thank you, and I’ll not forget it.” Three hours later the Rio Grande sighted the Sau Marcos of the Mallory line, bound for New York city. Franklin bade the Rio Grande folks good-bye heartily, slid into the longboat, and was transferred to the in-bound steamship. Quartermaster Howard Fay stood at the ladder as Frank lin clambered up, again laden with bis two fowling pieces and his valise. He started back In amazement Then he rushed for ward and seized Franklin’s hand. “Why, Len, I’m glad to see you,” he cried; “we haven’t reen each other since we were on the 8L Mary’a together.” Franklin told tbe story of the adventure. “I caught a rope attached to the sail as we went overboard, and clambered aboajd when the yacht righted. I tried to beach the yacht, but the idea wouldn’t work in the squall. I waa awept further out to sea every minute, and soon the yacht began to fill with water from the waves that broke over her* and it kept me steadily at the pumps pret ty nearly all the time for almost two days and nights to keej> things from going un deraltogether. It got warmer after the At the Bottom of a Field of Coral. Interview with a Diver. “One of the most remarkable sights that I Observed,” remarked the diver, “were the coral beds.

He boarded at a quiet old farm house, where it had been a late season for civilization and the arts. The old farmer didn’t know hiuch about pictures. One day the artist had retired into a dark corner of the barn to sketch an effect through the open door. He heard a conversation oi tside. “Good mornin’. Fanner Jones.” “Good mornin’.
