At Norwalk the whole population of Haron county was congregated. The Blaine party was conveyed in carriages to a stand at the intersection of the principal streets. The houses on the line of march were decorated with rare beauty and skill. The train was resplendant with flags and bunting. It was red letter day in its liistory. President Hayes was on the speakers' stand and spoke a few words. The next great ovation was at Sandusky. Mr. Blaine spoke from a beautiful pavilion in the public square before the high school building. He was heartily and repeatedly cheered. Twenty thousand persons listened to him and every one in that great assemblage was deeply and pleasantly impressed with the man. Mr. Blaine is giving the public some brilliant bits of oratory on this tour. He has the happy faculty of saying the right thing in the right place. At Clyde there "I *.« was another eager crowd waiting for the train. The decorations in Mr.

Blaine's honor were very pretty. Over

*his path to the speakers stand hung a huge banner of evergreens I bearing the words, "Welcome to our

IP next president, James 6. Blaine." At |j Fremont ex-President Hayes intro-

The train rolled into the depot there at 4 o'clock. A dense crowd cheered Mr. Blaine till he was driven away to League Park, where he addressed 3Q,000 people. In the evening the city blazed with torches, and fires of gorgeous hues flashed brilliantly from every street corner. Mr.

Blaine reviewed the parade in

hiB

honor from a stand in the street. There were 12,000 men in line. The lake counties of Ohio are ablaze with enthusiasm.

The Press Account.

CLEVELAND, O., September 29.—Several thousand people were in the Lake Shore railroad depot this morning to see Mr. Blaine start. When he arrived at a few minutes before 9 he was cheered and the people gathered around the rear platform and clamored for a speech. Just before the train started Mr. Blaine appeared on the platform and said:

The start was made promptly at 9 o'clock. The train and engine were gaily decorated with the American flag and Blaine and Logan banners. The party was the same that came to Cleveland Friday evening with the addition of ex-Secretary Windom and a' local reception committee from Norwalk. As the train passed the freight depot of the Lake Shore road, the workmen ran out and ch%ered and there was alike scene at the fcorks of the Lake Erie Iron company. Mr. liidine bowed his acknowledgements.

OBKRLIN, O..Septetaber 29.—Thefirst stop was at Elyria, the place viBited by Mr. Blaine on Saturday. There was a large crowd at the depot. At this station the delegation from Oberlin boarded the train, headed by Hon. James Monroe, ex-member of the house of representatives. Rev. Mr. Brand, of Oberlin, was one of the party. A little after 10 o'clock the tram reached Oberlin. The arrangements here wore better thai, at any other place so tar in Ohio. There was a passage way, guarded ly uniformed clubs, from tne train to the stand. The stand itself was carpeted and beautifully decorated. The crowd was very large and •inenthusiastic. Hundreds of people from the country sat in their wagons -s »*i and every tree in sight of the stand

was

loaded down. Mr. Monroe introduced Mr. Blaine, who, as soon as the applause with which he was received had subsided, said: "Mr. Monroe, iadies and gentlemen: I do not know

any

more appropriate thing for a can-

t'Vt didate who represents Republican principles than to pay a visit to Oberfin, for if there be any one place in the

United States above another where Republican principles were planted originally, and matured, veloped, and strengthened to

radicalism, if yon please, which iy taught from its start, the great battle it waged, the immense success it attained, without donation from the national or the state government, bat merely from the generous benevolence of the men who believed in the principles it represented, mark it as an event not merely in the educational world, but in the political world as well. I am glad to stand here to pay my tribute to this great institution, to acknowledge, as the representative, as 1 am for the time, of Republican principles, the debt which that party owes to the great institution at Oberlin. (Applause.) I thank you for your kind welcome to this place. I thank you for the generous outpouring of this

fknow

eat audience. I thank you because what it represents, and because 1 know that you know what I report. [Edtbnaiaatic cheering.] If anything could add to my pleasure in this visit it would be that I have been presented to you by one with whom I had the honor for many years to be associated in congress, and when I came to know him, to respect, to esteem, for in all my public services I met no more honorable, no more pure, no more effective member than James Monroe, of the Oberlin district.

tinguish6d candidate. Mr. Gardner introduced Mr. Blaine, amid great cheering, who said: "Mr. Gardner, ladies and gentlemen: It was my pleasure eight years ago to visit your beautiful town and to address a large audience of the Republicans of Huron county in the interest of the election of the distinguished representative and noble son of Ohio whom I am glad to see on this platform to-day, Ex-President Hayes. [Applause.] I do not forget the hospitable welcome I then received. I am impressed by its repetition to-day. [Applause.] I came then only as a private citizen. I come now in a different capacity, and I am sure that as a New England man on the western reserve of Ohio I am always at home. [Great cheejing and cries of "yes," "yes," 'come again."

Hon. A. W. Tenney aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. On one Bide ot the stand was a Cleveland and Hendricks banner extended across the street, and on the other side a Blaine and Logan banner, and Mr. Tenney, after speaking of the relations of the English to the Republican candidates, pointed to the Democratic banner and said: 'Iffake down that banner and add another name, so that it will read, 'Cleveland, Hendricks and England.' Raise that banner higher/' pointing to the other, "and let the inscription on it read, 'Blaine, Logan and America.'" [Tremendous cheering.]

Mr. Blaine continuing, said: For the Western Beeerve of Ohio is New England transferred to the shores of Lake Erie yes, the equal of the good old land to the east along tho rock bound coast of the Atlantic, and it is one of the chief honors of New England that its sons have borne the essential features of its civilization to this broad expanse of the west. I say, therefore, that when I como here, I feel at home among you. I feel that on public questions, I think as you think, and represent tho issues which you hold dear. ["Yes," "yes," "good," "good" and cheers.] Personally permit me to thank you again for tho great cordiality with which vou greet me, to wish for you in the future the great prosperity you have enjoyed in the past. [Prolonged cheering.

Mr. Windom followed. At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Hayes stepped to the front of the platform, ana Mr. Blaine said:

LADIES AND GBNTLKMBN: I have the honor of introducing to you a man who needs no introduction to the people of Ohio, nor to the people of any of the thirty-eight states of this Union, ex-President Hayes. [Loud cheering.]

Mr.Hayes said: MY FKLLOW CITIZENS OF HTTRON COUNT?: I am" very glad to respond to the call that has been made. I am very glad to have the opportunity in his presence to. thank my friend, Mr. Blaine, for the work that he did with you eight years ago [Applause.] I am very glad, indeed, to unite with you in honoring the Hepublican candidate for president of the United States. [Cheers and cries of "Good, good. I am very glad to meet this vast multitude of the citizens of Huron county, who have come here to see and to hear and to give friendly greeting and an old fashioned Ohio welcome to James (i. Blaine. [Enthusiastic cheers.]

At the station in Clyde there was a large and enthusiastic crowd. Sandusky was reached at a little before 1 o'clock and the party was driven in carriages to the court house SQuare, where there was a very large meeting. Ex-President Hayes was in the carriage with Mr. Blaine, and the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, was on the

I have no speech to make, gentlemen, except to express the great pleasure I have enjoyed on my visit to thiB city during the last two days. I have renewed many old associations and platform. Mr. Blaine was received made new ones, all of which have been most with great cheering. He said: H-bl. .o »•, d.p« to ...n*., with a sense of having enjoyed myself as much

one railroad line into Ohio extending from hereto Cincinnati with a gap in the middle that you had to travel by stage, and this end of it was what was in thoee days termed the "Old River Line" with strap rails and a lively chance for "snake heads" through the cars as one traveled at fifteen miles an hour. I Laughter.] I recall this because it images to my mind more than anything else 1 know the gigantic progress of this great state, and

if

you here preeent, the great ma­

jority of you many years my Junior, could see Ohio ne it then was contrasted with Ohio as it is now, you would thank God that you live under a free government and have had tho opportunity to work out these great results, and von wouldn't think me trenching on partisan grounds

the

larger part of the progress that has been made in these intervening thirty-six years has been made since the government of_ the United States came under the control of the Republican party and the country has been blessed with protection to American labor and American capital. (Applause.) To me the contrast of the scene of this hour with what I recall ot the past is a lesson which I never can forget and which 1 am sure you have learned already.

Mr. King said the people having heard the man who was to be the next president, he would next introduce one who had occupied that high office -ex-President Hayes. (Applause.)

Mr. Hayes made a brief speech on the tariff issue. At Clyde a short stop was made to enable Mr. Blaine to be presented to a large crowd which had assembled. He responded very brieflv. paying marked tribute to the character and career of General Mcpherson, whose remains repose in a cemetery near by.

At Fremont ex-President Hayes escorted Mr. Blaine to the stand and introduced him to his friends and neighbors, asking for himacordial receptien as an old friend and as the standard bearer of the Republican party, whose success he

was essential to the

prosperity of the country. Mr. Blaine was received with great demonstrations of applause and spoke as follows:

It gives me great pleasure to be thus welcomed to Frement and to be introduced by exPresident Hayes to his neighbors and friends. I am glad to have an opportunity to Bay to® that it was the enviable fortune of yoordisinguished fellow citizen, ae president of the

a

United States, to leave the people of the country in afar more prosperous condition than that in which he found them on the day of his inauguration, and that he steadily gained in public esteem throughout his whole term of office. I thftTifa- Mm and I thank yon for this personal compliment and for its public significance, and I ask of yarn the considerate judgment, which I know yea will give, to the weight and meaning of Ohio's race in October. [Enthusiastic cheats.]

Immediately upon arrival at Toledo Mr. Blaine was escorted by the local committee to League park, on the outskirts of the city, where a meeting was in progress. As soon as it was known that Mr. Blaine had come, the people crowded into the park in large nam bera^so that in a short time there were probably 10,000 in and around the enclosure. Mr. Blaine's appearance on the stand was the signal' for most en thusiastic cheering. Mr. James M. Brown, chairman of the Lucaa_ county committee, welcomed Mr. Blaine in a brief speech, and introduced him to the audience. Mr. Blaine said:

MB. CHAIRMAN AND GKNTLKMKJT :—I should at any time deem it unprofitable to speak disrespectful of political opponents. I should in my preeent position deem it altogether improper. I should rather be the victim of slander than the author of it. (Great cheers.) But there are some things which I do not think it unbecoming in me, holding the position I do, to call your attention to. The Republican party has governed the country for twenty-four years in the spirit and according to the measures of a broad nationality. The progress under our government in that spirit has far transcended all the progress made in all the previous years of the nations history. [Applause.] To remand the government now to the control of our opponents who do not believe in the constitutionality of the measures which have given this progress would be a step backwards into the dark. [Enthusiastic applause and Bhouts of "correct" "correct."] When we argue the question of a protective tariff- we are not allowed to regard it merely as one to be settled on the basis of expediency because the large majority of our opponents hold a protective tariff to be nnconstitutionaL There is not one 'great measure that the Republican party has adopted nor one great Btep the party has taken since the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, in 1861, that the Democratic party has not opposed and has not considered unconstitutional. ("That's so.") So that to-day to remand the government of the United States to the control of the Democracy is not merely an ordinary change of parties. It is a total reversal of the entire policy that has distinguished the government of the United States since 1861. (Renewed applause. It is giving to the narrowing dogma of state rights the precedence in that grand march which has been made and which could only be made under the banners of abroad nationality. ("That's right," and cheers.) It is on that great plane that the Republican party has done me the honOr to present me as a candidate before you. (Applause.) It is on that plane, with all that it implies, that I am before you and before all die people of the United States to-day. (Enthusiastic cheering.)

Judge WeBt followed Mr. Blaine. His remarks were loudly applauded. The meeting then adjourned, and Mr. Blaine was driven to the hotel. Many of the houses along the route were decorated with Republican flags and banners. At once after dinner he was waited upon by the local committee and taken to the headquarters of the Boys in Blue, where he was very warmly received. He made a few informal remarks and then went to the rooms of the "Silver Greys," an organization of grey haired Republicans, where there was alike scene. Then ne wasdriven to the grand stand from which he reviewed a great torch light procession, many of the organizations coming from the adjacent country and some from quite distant towns. This Republican demonstration was to have taken place on Saturday evening and its postponement till to-day brought it on the same evening with a prearranged Democratic parade which also was very large. The rival processions, between them, seemed to have taken possession of the entire city, but everything passed off peaceably. The programme is to leave Toledo at 9 o'clock on Tuesday and reach Dayton in the evening, making brief stops at intervening places.

DAYTON, O., September 29.—Arrangements have been made for a grand reception to Blaine to-morrow.

The "Sabbarti of Sabbaths"—The Moat Holy ot All Days In the Year to Israelitles.

Yesterday, of all days of the year, is regarded by the Israelites as the most holy. The day is called "Sabbath of Sabbaths" in the Bible but the Jews designate the day as "Yom Kippur. Probably no other denomination is so steadfast and devoted in the observa tion of any days as the Jews of this day. The day is given entirely to fasting and prayer.

The biblical command for the observance of thiB day iB: "It shall be unto you an everlasting law in the Beventh month, on the tenth of the' month, ye shall afflict yourselves and do no manner of work, both the native and the stranger who dwelleth among you, for oh that day He will atone for you, to purify you from alt! your sins ye shall purify yourselves before God." (Lev. xxvi.)

And again: "A Sabbath of Sabbaths it shall be unto you, and ye shall afflict yourselves, on the ninth day of the month, at evening shall ye begin, from evening until evening shall ye celebrate this your Sabbath." (Lev. xxiii.)

The sixteenth chapter of the same book of the Bible is devoted to an enumeration of the sacrifices which are to be made upon the celebration ef the fast day by the high priest, who upon this day, and this day alone of the whole year, was pertnitted to enter "The Holy of Holies. The abolition of theBacrifices renders the afflction of the person the leading feature of the holy day, while the greatest affliction seems to "be in a total abstinence for twentyfour hours from every species of re freshment, still the affliction goes still further, and permeates the entire conduct of the day, so that little if any is done that tends to promote bodily comfort, and the season is given up to prayer and repentance.

The Jewish-repentance is dissimilar from all others in that there is no mediator between the person and his Maker. A Hebrew belifves that man is a free agefit and can plead for himself. He believes that by God's powe»? love and mercy, He alone can and will receive and forgive the suppliant True atonement consists in man's firm will to renounce his wrongs to ask pardon of thoBe he has wronged to orgive his enemies and to live abetter life in the future. This is believed to be the only sacrifice necessary.

The days service is very solemn and impressive, the entire congregation uniting in prayer and chant. This denomination has retained the old spirit of devotion, humiliation and self-ex-amination, and observe the day as nearly as possible in compliance with the ancient customs. The services began Sunday night. In the morning at 9 o'clock the congregation assembled and engaged in a service called Scharith, meaning morning. It lasted till about noon-time, when Mussag, '-'the additional service," commenced. Between these two morning prayers the solemn act of. reading from the Holy SiSroll takes place, which will be followed by a sermon. Mincha- "the afternoon service," follows, .at which likewise passages mostly from the Scroll, mostly from the Book of Jonah, are read. Then-follows a sermon. The last service of the day is called Meilah, "the closing service." At each of these five services the general confession of sins is repeated. Highly solemn and impressive is the conclusion of .the services when the whole congregation, in one chorus, joins in repeating- the watchword of Judaism—"Hear, O Israel, the Eternal Our God, the Eternal is One," and in proclaiming seven times the words in which Ancient Israel at the time of the Prophet Elijah, on Mt Carmel, expressed their belief, "The Lord, He is Our God." Then the Shophar, or ram's horn, is blown, and the holy day is at an end.

The day was generally observed by the Hebrews of the city. Nearly all the stores owned by believers in the faith, remained closed all -day. A largely attended meeting was held in the synagogue, in the building next to the Express office, Sunday evening. This morning the congregation reassembled, and another service, consisting of prayer, music and a lecture. Dr. Hite's prayer book was used, and all present joined in the solemn service. In the absence of an appointed Rabbi, Mr. David Goldman delivered the lecture. The meeting continued until about noon, and the exercises of the day were closed.

USsTRUCK BY A TRAIN.

A Poor, Pennllesa Follow Killed on the I. A8t. L. Trestle West of the City—An Incident.

"I think we struck a man back here on the trestle," said the conductor of the I. & St. L. passenger leaving here at 3:18 Sunday morning, to an Express reporter, as the train was flying toward Indianapolis at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. "I'll know at Greencastle." When Greencastle was reached the conductor said, "Yes, we struck a man and killed him."

James and George LindBey, brothers, worked on the T., C. & St. L. narrow gange near Charleston. They failed to get their money, and having no funds to pay their passage, started to walk to Morgantown, Brown county, Ind., their home. About three o'clock Sunday morning they were plodding their way east in a driving storm, with frequent flashes of lightning for their only light. They were on the long trestle in the river bottoms. When near the center the east-bound passenger came thundering behind them To jump meant death, and to remain was almost as reckless, yet there was a chance. George caught hold of a water barrel placed on the side of the trestle and leaned away from danger but James was not so lucky. The train struck him and he was instantly killed. The coroner held

an Inquest Sunday and rendered a verdiccof accidental death, "|)id yon ever hear of many accidents at the trestle?" said a man to tbeTreporter. "Well, I suppose you hMVp, but I'll warrant I once knew a mad who went through an awful experfence on that trestle soon after it waabuilt. He was crossing the trestle andTlooked back and saw a train coming. Did he jump Did he lie down andlet the train run over him? Not muqh. He waited until the train got near him and then dropped down and hung untU the train passed over him, and ne bad just strength enough left to raise himself. He went home and when he took off his hat his hair wasn't black like it was when ho left home in the morning—it was white. Turned white from fright, you know."

HIOHAEliMAS DAY.

Anniversary of tne Day of the Saint Who Fought the Devil About the Body ot Moses.

Yesterday was Michaelmas day, properly named "the day of St. Michael and all angels." It iB a great festival with the church of Rome and the church of England. The only remarkable thing connected with the day is a widely prevalent custom of marking it with a goose dinner. St. Michael is regarded as the chief of angels or archangel. He is mentioned five times in the scripture, and always in a warlike character. He is mentioned by Daniel thrice fighting for the Jewish church against Persia, once by St. Judeas fighting with the devil about the body of Moses, and once by St. John as fighting at the head of an angelic troop against the dragon and his host.

THE COMBS CASE.

Tfee Police Board Investigates Charges Against Him.

the

Two. Young Women Testify That They Hever Agk*d Him for Protection—A New Charge.

Tne police board met yesterday morning to investigate the charges agaihst Officer Combs. The board is composed of Mayor Armstrong, chairin Councilman J. H. Briggs, secretary Conncilmen Wimer and Poths. Lieutenant Dundon preferred the following charge:

Whereas on the night of September 25th Officer Bobeft Combs, when asked by me the names of the parties connected with the Agar affair replied: "It is none of your business." I think him guilty of insubordination and request your investigation,

JAKES DUNDON,

Lieutenant of Police.

In snpport of the above charge Lieutenant Dundon said there was some talk in the newspapers about the case, involving Combs and Agar, and he called Combs to one side, Thursday evening, and asked him who the girls were that complained to hi.m about Ajtftf"WKT1rts companion, so the girls could be seen. He replied, "It is none of your business. I'll go and see them ana get them to prefer charges against Agar."

Combs—"Didn't I say, when asked, *IH see them myself!'" Dundon—"No. You said, 'It's none of your business. I'll Bee them myself.'

Lieutenant Dundon stated that it was not the first time he had used disrespectful language, but indirect testimony was ruled out.

Combs testified that last Thursday night Lieutenant Dundon called him to one side and asked him who the girls were,and he replied "I don't know their names, and it is none of your business."-

Dundon—"Didn't you tell me you knew the ladies' names Combs—"No, I did not."

Combs stated that he did not know the young women tben, and does not know them now. The mother of one of the girls came to him Wednesday evening, the evening after the incident, and asked him not to bring-them into the scrape, and he promised he would not. He never saw the girl's mother before.

Mayor Armstrong—"Why, if you did not know the girl's name, did you make a pledge not to divulge her name?"

Combs—"I told her I would not bring her into court." The mayor—"How could yon have brought her into court if you did not know her name?"

Combs—"That I can't exactly tell. I wanted to arrest Agar that night, but the girls wouldn't let me."

The Major—"Can you produce those girlB in court Combs—"I don't think I can."

Combs also stated that he could say that Lieutenant Dundon had not treated him with respect.

TIIB AGAR CASE.

The second charge against Combs was read, and was as follows: On the night of Tuesday, September 23d, 1884, Charles Schaffer and myself wore standing on the northwest corner of Seventh and Main when two ladies passed,' with one of whom, Hiss Sallie, Barker, I am acquainted, and to whom 1 said: "flood evening." Officer Robert Combe tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Look here, do you know thoee ladieeT" I replied: "If I did not 1 would not speak to thenr." He then said: "If I catch you speaking to any ladies yon don't know, I'll hammer your head off with this club." ABCHIK AGAR.

Agar testified that lie and Charles Schaffer were standing at the corner of Seventh and Main streets Tuesday evening, and had just come over from the wigwam. Two young women passed them, and one of *tbem, Miss Sallie Barker, he knew, and he tipped his bat and said "Good evening." She returned the salute. Oilicer Combs tapped him on the back and said if he caught him speaking to girls he didn't know he would hammer his head off with a club. The yonng women were going north to the wigwam. He did not see anv other women pass at that time, and did not speak to any other girls that evening.

Charles Schaffer testified that he and Agar were standing at the corner of Seventh and Main streets, when two women passed. He did not know them, but Agar spoke to them, and one replied, "Good evening." Combs stepped up and told Agar if he canght him speaking to any girls he didn't know he would hammer his head off. They did not 'speak to any other women that passed.

Combs said two young women complained to him and said insulting remarks hail been made about them as they passed. He told them to pass again and hei would watch. As they passed Agar and his companion Agar stud, "There they go. Which one will yon take?" and like remarka He stepped up to Agar and said, "If you don't stop talking to girls you don't know you may get your head knocked off." Neither of the girls was Miss .Barker, for he knew her. He said he knew the girls by sight,

know their names. He saw one of the girls the following evening. Agar said that Miss Barker and her companion were the two girls, as Combs pointed them oat when he made the threat.

Officer Lewis said he was with Combs at the corner of Seventh and Main streets. Combs said he would go over to the wigwam for a few minutes, and as he crossed the street he met two girls, and they stopped and talked a while. He could not hear what was said did not know who they were, and saw Combs follow them. Beyond that he knew nothing.

Officer Thomas stated that he went to No. .234 south Eight street where the girls reside. They refused to attend the trial,, said they had not been insulted and slammed the door in his face.

Chief Vandever said he would go and see if he could induce the girls to attend. He returned in about half an hour with two young women.

Miss Sallie Barker said she was at Seventh and Main streets Tuesday evening. Agar tipped his hat to her and she replied "Good evening." She was not insulted by him or any one else never asked Combs or any other policeman to protect her did not know Combs never spoke to him in her life. Miss Holloway, in substance made the same statement as Miss Barker. The other witnesses were excluded, and when Combs reentered he stated that they were not the young women who complained to him.

Mayor Armstrong said it was essential that he should produce the young women, and Combs replied if he could get them he would do so.

HENBY APMAN COMPLAINS. At the conclusion of the Agar the board adjourned until 2:30 p. and on convening the following complaint was read

case

On the night of Saturday, September 27, 1884,1 spoke to Officer Veach in front of W. Pritchard's saloon on east Main street, requesting him to break np a dance in a vacant house east of fay residence, as it was 12:80 o'clock and I could not sleep, when Officer Coombs interfered, saying, "Apman, you are getting to be a regular drankazd.

McCUIiLOUGH BREAKS DOWN.

His Mind Weakens on the Stage and the Audience Hisses Htm. CHICAGO, 111., September 29.—John

MeCullough's appearance in "The Gladiator" at McVicker's to-night created a most powerful impression. He was manifestly unable to cope with the requirements of the part and was vigorously hissed in the early scenes but later a reaction set in wnen the cause waB seen to be physical weakness and he was called before the curtain at the close of the »y. The Inter-Oeean to-morrow „.11 say: "Quickly detecting in the initial scenes how evasive of his mental grasp were the lines of his part, Mr. McCullough permitted the annoyance to intensify the nervous strain undet which he Buffered and from forgetfulness he soon passed to bewilderment his manner became purposeless his capabilities for action were entirely suspended and he moved waveringly, listlessly, helpless through a successive of scenes, his vain endeavor to keep his lines in mind becoming more and more painful and his lamentable unfitness for work more and more apparent. He wandered about the stage without precision or animation, uttering his speeches in broken, halting undertones, acting like one in a dazed state of mind and nerveless condition of body. His faltering, so clearly the result ef physical prostration, was a melancholy spectacle to those friends who looked with anxious solicitude upon the increasing relaxation of his powers, but there was no sign to lead to the gross misconception that his condition was due to excesses and the conduct of that portion of the audience that raised a tumult of cruel censure was infamous. vv WASHINGTON-

Main Street to be Better Protected—A Large Fore* in the Near Future.

Chief of Police Vandever presented, to the police board yesterday a plan for keeping Main street under police surveilance until 12 o'clock at all hours from 7 p. m. One man will be taken from the districts north, and south of Main. The ones on the north Bide will patrol on the north side of the street as far as their district extends, and those on the south side will do likewise. One man will be kept in each of the districts .bordering on Main, but away from Main street, until 12, when they will be joined by their partners ana patrol as before. The chief is of the opinion that it will only be two or three years qfttil the force will have to be increased to forty or forty-five men. In some of the districts the men have as many as teu to twelve miles of Btreets and alleys to patrol. It will be seen that it is impossible for an officer to be every place at once. There are twenty officers on night street duty, including the depot policeman, or one te every 1,550 in« habitants.
