PHILADELPHIA LETTER
New lark's Day at Uic t entciMilnl.
WHEAT OVATION TO GOV. TILDEN.
From our Regular Correspondent^
Phileelphia, Sept. 23.
Centennial visitors do not now
come singly, but like trouble in bat
talions, they overun everything, they
inundate the streets, hotels, board
ing houses, and Ceutennial grounds.
It is estimated that there are at
least a quarter of a million of them
iu this city now, and the long over
laden truins arrive hourly with
greater numbers than they take
away. So that the crowd is constant
ly increasing, and Philadelphia, to
speak elegantly, is actually slopping
over with visitors. On Wednesday
of this week there were over 100,000
paid admissions, and, on Thursday,
New York day, the number of paid
admissions was 115,000. It is not re
markable, under the circumstances,
that the commitsfon has recinded
its order making the remaining Sat
urdays half pay days, since, at the
rate visitors are now coming in, they
would certainly lose by it.
NEW YOKE, GOV. TILDEN’H RECEPTION.
On New York day the citizens of the
Empire State were very numerously
represented. It is estimated that
45,000 New Yorkers were on the
grounds. Conspicuous among these
were 600 New York policemen, whose
presence led many to suppose that
the city was left unprotected, and
that the wicked would have high
carnival, but the Metropolitan po
lice force numbers more than 2,400,
so that the precocious villuge was not
left entirely unguarded.
At one o’clolock, not less than
twenty-five thousand people had con
gregated upon the green sward and
Hower beds that surround the New
York State building, when a private
carriage drove slowly through the
dense masses up to the front door.
The curiosity to see the candidate of
the Democratic party wus intense,
aud us he asceaded the steps accom
panied by Ex-Governor Bigler of
Pennsylvania, the cheering wus
earnest, loud, loug, and ail pervad
ing. A number of Ceutennial Com
missioners, headed by Gen. Haw
ley,! followed! Governor Tilden
to the reception room, where a
scene was enacted that was
both ludicrous and trugic.
The front door of the reception
room is readied by a flight of steps,
and living masses lifted by the press
ing throngs in their rear rolled off
these steps like apples from an over
heaped barrel. A number of persons
fainted from the suffocating and dan
gerous pressure. For an hour an
anxious throng of people poured in
at the front door and out at the east
ern entrance, shaking hands as they
passed with Governor Tilden. At
the end of the hour it became evident
that if he waited to shake hands with
the constantly increasing multitude
outside, he would have to make at
least two days of it, and there being
other ceremonies in the day’s pro
gramme, he was prevailed upon to
go to the lower verandah and make
a salutation en masse. This he did
in a very happy and entirely im
promptu manner, without uttering a
word that could have the remotest
reference to politics. Among tne co
incidences of the day were his intro
duction on this occasion by General
Hawley, the author of the Cincinnati
Republican platform, and the pres
ence of Gen. Grant in the adjoining
British building. Ho was there, it is
said, by invitation to eat and drink
and smoke, with the British Commis
sioners, a role in which lie is the
greatest of all our Presidents, but a
sense of propriety would have kept
him strictly to business, and pre
vented his appearing on the front
portico in an apparent effort to ap
propriate the attention that all bad
come to pay to the coming man. As
the spectator approached the build
ing the most prominent figure, aud
one that could be seen from afar,
was Ulysses, standing in the door,
looking on with that admixture of
vanity, craftiness and stupidity,
which are mirrored in the tout ensem
ble. that the Republican party has de
creed shall hold the nation up by the
tail no more. Since the party has
called another hero from another
abyss of inanity, the great silent
man mooes around pageantry, and
obtrudes himself upon the public
gaze in a melancholy way that would
be pathetic if it were not ludicrous.
After Governor Tilden concluded
his verbal salution to the immense
concourse of people iu front of the
New York Building, he took the
arms of Mr. FrededickConkling, and
Mr. Havemeyer, his host, and, pre
ceded by three members of the Cen-
THE DAILY TIMES.
tennial police as guides, they went
through the principal aisles oT the
main building, without pausing, and
then, in the same manner, through
Memorial Hall, the art annex, across
the Hortlcultual grounds, through
the United States Building, and
thence, back again to the New York
Building. "Governor Tilden’s escort
endeavored to make him acquainted
with the wonders which they passed,
but, with no great success. The
Presidential candidate is not remark
able for physical stature. He is no
taller than the first Napoleon, and
it was almost impossible for Inin to
see anything over the hats of the
ladies and the heads of the gentle
men who surrounded the little pro
cession, and crowded the aisles. As
Mr. Tilden re-approached the New
York State Building he wus saluted
with presented batons by the entire
force of the visiting New York police
that had been formed in 1 in, under
the command of superintendent
Walling, to receive him. Ascending
to the upper verandah, he addressed
a few words to the police corps, com
plimenting them upon the eflloieuey
of their drill, and, after they had
countermarched in review before him,
he entered a carriage with Messrs.
Havrmeyer and Conkling and was
driven away. Governor Tilden looks
very much like his numerous pic
tures, and speaks iu a voice not re
markable for strength, but that is
earnest and distinct. His dress is
plain black broadcloth with little or
no padding, high silk hat with crape
baud, and boots comfortably large.
When he got into the carriage the
crowds surged around to take him by
the hand, aud the carriage starting,
while ho was still standing, aud at
the instant his hand was in the grasp
of a powerful fellow citizen, he al
most lost his .equilibrum and quite
lost his hat, but lie regained the
former with thealacrity of a younger
man, and, the latter was handed him
by somo one wlio caught it.

Tell ilroeck's Ureal Ha it.
Louisville, Sept. 27,-jTho grounds
of tlie Louisville Jockey Club wero
more than crowded ttf-day, thousands
of home people gathering there to
witness the famous Ten Broeck make
his run against time. Fellowcraft
made four miles, in 1874, at Saratoga,
iu 7:IUJ. Since then it has been
thought, that, this time could not be
equaled, and up to-day it has not.
TIIE BETTING.
The betting was about even last
evening, but to day, with a clear sky
and good track before them, the peo
ple of Kentucky put their money on
the horse, letting strangers look after
time.
THE FIRST MILE.
Add was entered in the race with
Ten Broeck, and at the send off led
him by half a length. He soon took
second place,and from there on stead
ily dropped behind. The llrst mile
was made in very slow time—l:s2J.
THE SECOND AND THIRD MILES.
Mr. Harper. Ton Broeck’s owner,
stood at the string and excitedly
moved his hat to go on. The jockey
complied and scored the second mile
in 1 :151, and the third in 1:46J.
FOURTH MILE.
At the commencement, of the fourth
mile. Add was a dozen lengths be
hind. Anew horse was joined in the
race, running up alongside of Ten
Broeck. The two galloped along to
gether a quarter of a mile, iVben Ten
Broeck shot forward and was never
again caught by the fresh horse.
THE FINIBH.
As he came down the finish, the
thousands who had been quiet as
possible previously, now feeling that
Fellowcraft’s time would soon be
wiped out, gave forth loud, long and
enthusiastic cheers. The last mile
was made in 1:50$.
THE TIME.
The entire distance was made in
7:15j, or seconds quicker than Fel
lowcraft’s time, and 4 seconds less
than Lexington’s at New Orleans in
1855.
Mr. Frank Harper, his owner, was
congratulated by hundreds amid wild
scenes of dancing, shouting and hat
throwing. Willie Walker rode the
victor. Bobbie Swim was on Add,
who on the finish was at the distance
pole. An offer of $120,000 for Ton
Broeck has been rejected.
How They Hatch Esks in China.
In Minturn’s “from New York to
Delhi,” we are given the following
account of egg-hatehing in aoutheru
China: “On our return from the
gardens wo stopped at an egg hatch
ing establishment. This was a large
wooden barn-shaped building on the
river bank. The eggs are purchased
out of the produce boats that go down
the river, and are here arilicially
hatched. The process employed is
singular, as using only the natural
heat of the egg, and is as follows:
Large baskets, each twice the size of
an ordinary barrel, and thickly lined
witli hay to preveut the loss of heat,
are filled with the eggs and then care
fully closed with a closely fitting
cover and twisted straw, the eggs are
now left for three days, after which
they are removed from the basket,
and replaced in different order—
those eggs which were before on the
surface being now on the lowest tier.
At the end of three days the position
of the eggs is again altered, and so
on for fifteen days, after which the
eggs are taken out of the basket and
placed on a shelf in another depart
ment and covered with bran. In
course of a day or two the chicken
bursts its shell and makes Its way
out of the bran, being at once taken
charge of by an attendant, who is
always on the watch. The whole se
cret of this process is in the fact that
tlie animal heat of the whole maß3 of
eggs being attained by the basket,
which is formed of materials which
do not conduct caloric, is suflicient
to support the animal life of any one
particular egg, and to foster its de
velopment. This is the only egg
hatching process I ever heard of
which did not require artificial heat.
I should think it might be practiced
in America in summer.”

Till! YELLOW FEVER.
Hall Ui'iairtH Irmu Navtiiuiali.
Tim Morning News of Thursday
j says: “With a clear sky, cool weath
er, and a brisk northeasterly witid
| prevailing yesterday, a much bright
! er hope was begotteu that the rava
j ges or the epidemic would be some
what checked. This hope was par
tially realized hv tlio mortuary re
port, published iu the evening, from
which it will be seen that the num
ber of interments were 31, from all
causes, of which 22 were from yellow
fever, showing a decrease of 3 in the
total, and a decrease of ti of yellow
fever cases. From a comparison with
the figures in the several vears of
yellow fever, ’54, ’56 aud ’SB, it is
found that the fever began to abate
about the last ot September, corres
ponding with tho time at which the
diminution of fatality occurred this
year, and it is hoped that these in
dications will be sustained from day
to day uutil its final disappearance
from our midst.”
Tho Constitution of Thursday has a
special from Savannah, from which
we extract the following:
To-day has been decidedly cool.
The change set in last night. It is
feared that the effect of the chauge
will be unfavorable upou those al
ready sick. Among those dead are
several well known in this city and
elsewhere whose loss will be sorely
felt. W. P. Blue and N. P. Smith, of
the firm of J. W. Lathrop & Cos.; E.
W. Drummond and E. C. Grover,
of tlie wurehouse firm of Groover,
Stubbs & Cos., are among the dead,
There were one hundred and fort}
new cases to-day, among whom are
the following: J. K. Munnerlyn, in
spector of dry culture; Lieutenant H.
H. Woobrldge, of the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards; Alex Finly, agent of
McLear & Kindall’s carriage reposi
tory, and Col. E. C. Anderson, jr.
At Whltesville, Lieutenant Sandford

with the fever last Monday, is this

Hen. Hill s Acceptance.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 21,1876.
Gentlemen: I have received your
letter of the 13th fiist., inwhich you
say;
“The delegates of the Ninth Con
gressional District, assembled this
day in convention, and with a una
nimity seldom witnessed in political
bodies, have selected you as their
candidate in the approaching elec
tion for Congress,” and that you
were appointed a committee to give
me official notice of the nomination
and to request my acceptance.
The approval ofagood conscience is
the highest possible reward for any
service or action iu tnis life. Next
to this to a public man is the ap
nroval of his constituents. In the
light of the circumstances surround
ing me, and in view of the labors I
have endeavored to perform, tlie ac
tion of the intelligentdelegates com
prising the Gainesville convention,
so unanimous and so cordial, is
peculiarly gratifying, and the nomi
nation is accepted.
To make the Union orice more a
Union of equal States, resting in the
consent of the people; to restore the
Southern States to their full consti
tutional place arid power in that
Union, and to make all sections
again united, cordial, prosperous,
peaceful and happy, is now the
grand mission of the Democratic
party; and to aid in this glorious
work is iny chief ambition. The
complete vindication oi the Southern
people from tho calumnies which
unscrupulous partisans, in their
greed for power, have so industrious
ly sought to fix upon them, is an in
dispensible part of this work, and
must be performed largely by our
owu Senators and Representatives in
Congress. Without the approval of
the people themselves, tho accom
plishment of this great end would bo
impossible, and Us merit itself would
be brought into serious question.
With my thanks for the kind
words you have employed in con
veying to me the action of the con
vention, and with tho expression of
my high regard for each of you per
sonally,
I am, very trulv yours,
Bent. H. Hill.

A Hurl Iu Hie Death.
Correnpcinileuco Denver Nowm.)
Colorado Springs, Sept. 11,1876.
A most, fearful and startling trug
edy occurred iu this vicinity on Sun
day afternoon. Dr. Solly was told in
tho morning by a Mr. J. A. L. Sehles
singer t,o call at the post office at 3 :30
nuu get a letter ho was expecting
frem France; that tho lotter would
contain matters of importance,which
he wished rho doctor to telegraph to
him at Pueblo, whither ho was going
on tho 2 o’clock freight truiu. Dr.
Solly called at the appointed time,
but found there uo letters for young
Schlessiugor, but two for lumself
from the young man; one apologiz
ing for the deceit, but stating that
his object was to cot him (Sollyj
to go to the post office—tho other,
marked private, saying that lie was
going to fight a duel that afternoon,
that he expected to fall, and desiring
the doctor, if not back by 4 or 4:30 p.
si., to send to Lawson’s ranch for bis
body. By the lateness of tlie mail
these letters were not secured till
after 5 o’clock. Dr. Solly consulted
with soimi of his frionds aud decided
to ride out to tlie point indicated.
In company with Mr. Rlsely aud Mr.
Weitbock they proceeded to the
ranch, forgetting, however to pro
vide lights, or even matches, anil so
they had to wait the rising of the
moon to further their investigations.
Some thirty yards from tlie ranch
is a deep ravine, whore the water
rushes in the wet season, but leaving
a suypotti surface when dry. In this
they found tho dead body of tho
young man, with a pistol shot wound
entering tljo right breast and pussing
entirely through the body. He had
evidently fallen in his tracks. A line
was marked out on tho sand, as if by
the heel of a boot, aud on it lay the
stiff cold body. Further search reveal
ed a similar line twenty-five feet to
to the south, on which were distinct
ly traced tho marks of a mini’s feet.
The letter stated to Dr. Solly that if
he fell, his opponent would never be
known ; that all plans wero matured
for his escape from tlie country, and
that all plans for himself were also
perfected should the other dio, in
which ho (Solly.) was to destroy the
letters, as the only evidence that
could trace the crime lmok to him.
The letter also told of a sealed pack
age at his room, which, if lie fell, tlie
doctor should destroy. The opening
of this sealed paper or papers this
afternoon before thqooroner and jury
muy reveal other facts, and the key
to uuravel tho wholo mystery. A
jury, consisting of Major McAllister,
Major Wagoner, Dr. I. K. Palmer.
Captain D’Courcy, 11. F. Cruvell and
William McComber, was empaiinell
ed and is now receiving testimony.
Young Sclilessinger came here last
April with Gen. W. J. Palmer, Presi
dent of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad, and has since acted as his
private Secretary. No possible clew
has yet been obtained us to the mur
derer, but It is confidently believed
t hat the sealed package confided to
Dr. Holly will reveal enough to put
tlie officers on his track.

LOVE.
From tbu St, Paul Pioneer Preaa.J
When our now prosperous city was in
its infancy, a young blacksmith anil his
wife lived near tho junction of what is
now North First street ami Hennepin av
enue. Not successful in business at that
time, tho young husband, whoso real name
was John Felix, though ho over boro tho
most tender affection for ills young wife,
as tho sequel shows, startod for tho fur
West with the determination to obtain
wealth and Independence. Hero ho re
mained until tho breaking out of our civil
war, when ho enlisted and became a Union
soldier. While under the command of
Gen. Sherman ho mot a oomrado from our
city, who told him of tho sad misgivings
of his former wife and of her marriage to
a second husband (sho having never hoard'
from him, though he had written her sev
eral letters.) Felix then informed his
oomrado that ho should never return to
Ills homo until ho had acquired the inde
pendent fortuno he had first unsuccess
fully tried to obtain. Upon the closo of
tho war ho once more turned his
sorrowful footsteps towards tho
West, and there soon laid the basis of that
fortunejxo had so long been searching for.
Starting on a ranch in Wyoming Torrito-,
ry, ids Hock grow in number, and fortuno
smiled as blandly as Ills ambition could
desire, and tio was most naturally, os
time passed, overcome with the desiro to
visit onco more the spot whore his happi
est moments had been spent. About six
months since ho wroto to his son, who, at
the time, happened to resido nenr Minne
apolis, and received the letter. The boy,
who was an infant at tho time or his fath
er’s departure, and never knew him, could
not understand its moaning, and gave it
to his mother, who instantly recognized
the writing, and with a woman’s nature,
her llrst love so dwolt in her heart that
she told her second husband without a
momont’s warning, that she could llvo with
him no longer. During tho week past,
John Felix, after an absence of 18 years,
roturnad to our city, and having learned
that sho who was onco his wife was keep
ing a boarding-house on First street
north, immediately went thither. 110
called and recoguized her voice and Jflguro
and thoso charms ho had admired In days
past. He appoalod to her charity by toll
ing her that he had no money. Blie told
him ho was welcome to such faco as her
home afforded. While waiting upon him
ho asked tier numerous questions, and
finally would up by asking her if sho ever
knew a mail in the city by the name of
John Felix. Her curiosity boing greatly
arousod at hearing a namo pronounced
sho had seldom heard for years, and di
vining through tlie magnetism of love
who tho man before her wap, she threw
herself into his arms, and gave way to
the joyful tears that remained unwept
through all hor long waiting, and John
says ho cried too. John further informs
us that ho intends soon to return witli his
family to tho land that has prospered
him, and where wo are creditably inform
ed ho is reckoned among tlie first of those
wealthy ranchmen who inhabit the fertile
plains.
Murder Will Out.
A few yore ago "August Flower” was
discovered to boa eortain euro for dys
pepsia and liver complaint, a few thin
dyspeptics made known to their friends
how easily they had boon cured by its
use. The groat morits of Green’s August
Flower became heralded through the
country by one sufferer to another, until,
without advertising, its sale has become
immense. Druggists in every town in
theUnitod States are selling it. No per
son suffering with sour stomach, sick
headache, costiveness, palpitation of the
hoart, indigestion, low spirits, etc., can
take three doses without relief. Go to
your druggists, Dr. Gilbert <fc Thobn
ton, and get a bottle for 75 cents and try
it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
