A Magnificent Ovation Plumed Knight Yesterday. Special Dispatch to the Express.

CINCINNATI, O., October 1.—Mr. Blaine's ovation commenced shortly after breakfast this morning when he was called into the hotel parlor st Dayton and presented with a beauti tifol polished horse shoe wrought from American steel by an Irish-American who never voted the Republican ticket in hp life, but would vote for Blaine and Logan. The gentleman who made the presentation speech said that the motto on the horse shoe "Good Luck," represented the feeling ef thousands of Irish-Americans toward Mr. Blaine. At 9 o'clock the party was driven in open carriages over the three .miles of smooth turnpike between Dayton and the Soldiers' Home. At the Home Mr. Blaine was loudly cheered by the blue-coated veterans, and he made a speech to thenoP in Memory" hall IFwhich was warmly applauded. Tile party took a long drive through the beaniful grounds, then boarded the train at the station in Dayton. The Lincoln club, of Cincinnati, received Mr. Blaine with cheers. The Cincinnati delegation which came out to meet Mr. Blaine, numbered 300. His receptions in the west have been friendly. The people cannot do enough for him. At Hamilton, to-day, a Democratic city, 20,000 people came to see Blaine. He was met at the depot and rode through the streets at the head of a procession three miles in length. Hamilton, like all oth^r cities and towns visited by Blaine, had a bigger demonstration than was ever acceded any man. Mr. Blaine reached Cincinnatl^about four o'clock this afternoon. When tbe trains appeared in the yards all of the locomotives and factories in the vicinity sounded their whistles for several minutes. The crowds about tbe station recognized the signal and cheering, such as few men have ever heard, rent the air. At the depot 10,000 people surged to and fro seeking to get a glimpse and the shouts were deafening. The Lincoln club formed and escorted Mr. Blaine to the hotel. The a

carriage was followed

all the way by a ruBhing, cheering crowd. The streets at the hotel were densely packed. The lobbies of the hotel were filled. Standing room could not be had. The scene that ensued when Mr. Blaine appeared beggars description. It surpassed the wildest moments of excitement which have been seen at national conventions. Thousands of bats and hbnds wpved in the air. Mr. Blaine spoke from the balcony in the evening. He was the guest of the exposition commissioners and dined at the great exposition hall. Thousands flocked there to see Mr. Blaine. He made a brief speech. Mr. Blaine remains in the city till Friday morning, when he departs for Columbas, where another tremendous reception is in store for him. At one of the theaters last night, before an enormous audience composed largely of GermanAmericans, an. actor exclaimed, "Progress, progress, progress," meaning Blaine. He was cheered and recalled. 4*.

Dayton to Cincinnati.

DAYTON, O., October 1.—Mr. Blaine, accompanied by ejc-Governor Foster, Senator Frye, and others, was driven out this morning to the Soldiers' Home near Dayton. He was received by tbe governor of the home, General Patrick, and shown through the buildings and grounds. While he was entering the pretty music hall a large body of the soldiers followed him and began calling ''Blaine," "Blaine," "speech," "speech." Mr. Blaine thanked them for the kind reception given him and remarked that the beauty and comfort which he saw around him in this, the chief Soldiers' llome in the country, confirmed biga in his opinion as to the good of these institutions and rewarded him fot the part he had taken as a member of tho military committee of the house of representatives in their establishment. In response to the calls of tbe veterans Governor Foster made a few remarks. Tbe Boldiers cheered Blaine as he retired. He entered his special oar and proceeded on his journey towards Cincinnati.

Before Blaine left for the Soldiers' Home, this morning, the halls and parlors of Uie Beckel house were thronged with citizens, many of whom were presented to the candidate. At 9 clock he was conducted to the gentlemen parlor and presented with a horse shoe, manufactured of American steel, and uponwhicb were tbe words: "Good lock to James G. Blaiue." The shoe was forged by James Ryder, a life-long Dem i'-rnt U-j warmly greeted by Blaine,said: 'I accept this with very great p!ewnri\ not only as an evidenc ot your skill as a mechanic, but asan i-vitlence of your faith in the Republics party.

with Mr. Blaine. He was in his private state room, but they discovered him and crowded around the window. He shook hands with the ladies and children that could get near, but had to refuse to gratify the men, as his hands were getting sore from a too frequent repetition of the operation. One of the ladies who spoke to Mr. Blaine was a native of the town in Pennsylvania where he was born. He seemed greatly pleased at meeting her and talked a few minutes about old times there. Then a pretty little girl who wanted to kiss Mr. Blaine was held up, and when Mr. Blaine kissed her the people cheered.

At Diy ton the president of the Cincinnati exposition and other gentlemen connected with it came on board the train s.lso a delegation 200 strong from the Lincoln club of Cincinnati. At several small stations and at many of the farm bouses along the road, the train was saluted as it passed with cheers and the waving of flags, and in re plly to every such sal ate the Lincoln sent back a ringing cheer. The train barely stopped at Middletown, where there was a small but enthusiastic crowd. At 12:20 the train arrived at Hamilton. Here Mr. Blaine and party were driven through the town to a stand in front of the court bouse where there was a gathering of many thousand people.

At the Hamilton

meeting

Hun. H. L.

Morey introduced Mr. Blaine -as the most distinguished representatives of the American The great crowd cheered heartily and repeatedly. When order was restored Mr. Blaine said:

Citizens of Ohio, it is now forty years since the question of protective tariff engaged the attention of the Atni-rican people as profoundly as it does to-day. It was in the contest between Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk in 1844, that the' great national debate on the question took place and the protective tariff was defeated not by the popular vote but by the bad faith of the party whioh succeeded in the election and beg to call your attention, the attention of a large mahufacturirg population to the fact that the policy of protecting American industry has never been defeated in the United States by a popular vote. [Groat cheering.] A contrary policy ha« been forced on the people at different times through the bad faith of their representatives but never, I repeat, by a popular rote upon a deliberate appeal to the people in the primary capacity. [Renewed cheering.] It, therefore, would eeeir. the duty of the people of the United States if by majority they believe in the polioy of protection to see to it that that party is sustained which can be trusted to uphold it. [Good, good and cheers.] 'Yes, bnt,'said a gentleman to me yesterday, 'Protection does not always secure abundant prosperity. There area great many idle men now in the country.' Well, grant it. There has never yet been a policy devised by the wit of man that will insure through all times and at all seasons a continuous flow of prosperity. But the question whether over a given series of years there has not been a large degree of prosperity to the people under the policy of protection than under the policy of free trade. The question is to be gauged an$ tested not by the experience of a single year, but by the experience of a series of years. We have had a protective tariff -now for more than two decades, and I ask you whether there has been another period in Which the United States has made such progress as during the last twenty years. ("Never," "never," and cheers.) But it is true now and then there will come a little lull and a little reaction in business. There will come a little lull and a little reaction even in the laws of nature. You had a great drought in Ohio this year, but you do not on that account avow that you will have no more rains, (Great cheers.) On the contrary, you are the moro firmly persuaded that rain is the only element that will restore fertility to your soil, the verdure to your fields and the richness to yonr crops. So in this little slongh, this little dullness in tho bnsiness of the country, the one great element that can be relied on to restore prosperity is the protective tariff. [Renewed cheering.] The question then iB for Ohio to decide on the 14th day of this month. You will have an opportunity to tell the people of this United States whethor you believe in that doctrine. If you do you will secure not only its continuance, but its permanent triumph. [Applause.] But if on the other hand you should falter and fall back it might produce disaster elsewhere. The responsibility is on you. Is your courage equal to your responsibility? ["Yes," "yes."] Is your confidence-equal to yonr courage? It is," "it is," and cheers.] Then I have nothing more to say except to bid you good-bye. [Enthusiastic and prolonged cheers.]

At Glendale and Loveland the people cheered as the train slowed up, and at 3:40 it ran into the depot at Cincinnati. Here a great crowd had been waiting since 1 p. m. As soon as Mr. Blaine appeared there was a scene of wild excitement and confusion. The people cheered and yelled and pressed around him so that it was impossible to keep an avenue open by which he and his party could reach their carriages. Mr. Hanna, of the Republican state committee, and Judge Foraker had to struggle out through the cheering crowd. Once in a carriage My. Blaine was driven slowly along Fourth street. The sidewalks were fully occupied all the way. A great many windows were decorated and every window and doorway was crowded with spectators. When the carriage turned on Fourth street into Vine street to go to the Burnett house it passed through a dense mass of people filling Vine street above and below the hotel for a long distance, and cheered and shouted, who waved handkerchiefs and flags, and made every possible demonstration of enthusiasm. They continued shouting "Blaine!" "Blaine!" until Mr. Blaine came out on the balcony at the corner of Third and Vine streets. Here Judge Foraker presented him to the people. When Mr. Blaine got,a„qhanceto speak he said:

I you and all the good people of Cincinnati for Jhis cordial, hearty and magnificent reception.

The crowd cheered again and again as Blaine retired into the hotel. v?

At the Cincinnati Exposition. CINCINNATI, October 1.—In the muL titude who received Mr. Blaine to-day were many workingmen. At 6:30 Mr. Blaine was escorted by the reception committee, of which Mr. Wm. Dudley was chairman, to the exposition building, which was already crowded. For awhile Mr. Blaine held an informal reception in the commissioners' office, where some gentlemen and many ladies were presented to him. Then he was escorted to the stage, and upon being introduced was greeted with an outburst of applause from all parts of the great hall. He waited for it to subside and then said:

LAD 1*8 AND GBNTLMDM: I thank yon for the cordiality,of your welcome. I am glad to bo in Cincinnati. I am glad to be able to recall old associations and form new ones. It is forty years this year sinoe I first saw your city, so that I am enabled to measure tor myself its marvelous progress. I remember it was a city of 40,000, and I see it to-day a oity of nearly 400,000—a city not only with all the great railway transportation of the country favoring its growth, but connected with an inland navigation of nearly 80,000 miles and, situated as near to the Gulf of Mexico as it is to the Atlantic ocean, its future growth is assumed. The grandeur of its future needs no vouching and no prophecy. I congratulate you on what yoa have, I

you still more on what is before

von. These expositions are now only

city bnt of the whole country. Yon have before you in these halls an epitome of the growth of the country of-which you form so important a part. The growth of the country promisee to be aniimited, and in that fact Cincinnati reads her •destiny. (Enthusiastic applause.) Thanking you again for the -very kind welcome yon give me to yonr beautiful city, and asking for you a prosperity proportioned to your merits, I bid you. good evening. (Prolonged applause.)

Senator Sherman, Judge Foraker and Congressman Follett also made remarks. After the speaking Mr. Blaine was given a complimentary dinner by the commissioners of the Exposition. The party dinedin anappartment adjoining restaurantan part of the building, ner was going on the people outside got as near to the entrance as the police would allow and sent forth at intervals cheers and calls of "Blaine, Blaine," that at last Mr. Blaine had to rise from the table and go to the door and show himself. He stood a few seconds bowing while the crowd cheered and then resumed his seat and soon after at about a quarter before 10 o'clock retired from the hall and was driven to his hotel. The accasion was, of course, entirely nonpolitical and there was no speaking at the dinner, at which several locally distinguished Democrats were present. Blaine will spend Thursday at Cincinnati.

Mr. Blaine on the Campaign. CINCINNATI, O., October l.—On the

brain was a happy crowd of politicians, business men, friends, and correspondents. Mr. Blaine looked the least bit tired and sighed somewhat with relief when it was said Cincinnati was a few miles distant. "I have always liked to visit Cincinnati," said Blaine. "I was tempted to go there years ago after leaving Lancaster, where I had been at school. I often thought I might do well in the city when teaching in Kentucky. But if I did not live there I found myself treated well. I know there is always a great German population there. Wherever you find Germans you find great geniality, hospitality, and a natural outflow of good welcome and cheer. My first visit to Cincinnati was in 1848. I was only a boy of nineteen, on my way to Kentucky. I remember with what relief I reached the city. We then traveled from the east by lake steamer, and had come from Sandusky partly by rail, and partly by stage. I was very tired. You may imagine what a contrast there is between that trip and the quick traveling of to*day." "What do you think of Ohio, after going through it?" asked the reporter. "I had heard at home that Ohio lacked enthusiasm. If the scenes along our route hfive been a lack of enthusiasm, I should like to see the state when it is stirred up. I believe this campaign is for the business men, for the manufacturer and mechanic, for the laborer and farmer—every one who has a dollar to save. The voice of Ohio will not Tie doubtful. In that belief I am willing to leave it. This is a campaign to give preference to American labor, and to extend the area of American industry.

Ben Butler at Fort Wayne. FT. WAYNE, Ind., October 1.—Gen. Butler arrived in the city at 3:15 p. m., and was met at the depot by the committee in carriages, headed by the city band. Gen. Butler waB at once driven to the fair grounds, where he addressed about 3,000 people. Upon being introduced to the audience Mr. Butler ordered the coachman, who was sitting in his carriage in the midst of the crowd and obstructed the view of those behind him, to move on, saying: "We are Anti-Monopolists here, and no man shall take up more room than actually belongs to nim." Gen. Butler Bpoke for an hour and a-half. He left tor Logansport at 8:40 p. m.

PITTSBUKO, October 1.—At the leading iron works in this vicinity it is found that trade is brightening np. At the American works about one hundred tons of finished iron are being turned out each* day. The cotton tie trade is fast finding its way. back to this city from England. At the Pittsburg forge and iron works all the heating furnaces are being rebuilt so as to introduce natural 0

At these works the puddlers are at all times on double tinie, and the finishing departments use tbe muck iron as fast as it is turned out. Tbe same may be said of Graff Bennett's works. 01 the output of muck iron the Union mills of Carnegie & Co. are turning out 150 tons of finished iron

per day, for bridges principally. Altogether, there are more puddling furnaces in operation here than at any time for several months. As a general thing the steel business is yet slack. The Bessemer plant is in operation, but not to its full capacity. It is turning ails dWly. out 400 tons of rails

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS.

Statements were made and the taking of testimony began. Mrs. Eleanor Story, aged 83 years, an aunt of Moses Soules, stated that she had known soules all his life. She knew him when he was married, but she would not dismiss from her mind a feeling that something was the matter with his mind. He would sometimes act queer, and she thought sometimes he was putting on.

Elisha Baker knew Soules was raised with him, in fact they had "grown up as weeds together.' He knew Soules when he was at Keokuk, Iowa, and he acted all right there. When Soules returned from the war he acted queer.

Wm. Lpw5 said Soules sometimes had queer actiong. He met Soules one time in the woods, and he acted like he was wild or crazy.

Samuel Lowe said he had frequently noticed Soules' queer actions. He was generally called "Crazy Soules."

Jemima Henry had seen Soules on several occasions when he acted like a man of unsound mind. She saw him in bed once when they said he was crazy, but she had a horror of crazy people and she did not talk to him.

Alma Green, a cousin of Soules,said Soules returned from the. west in 1859 or 1860, ~and he acted queer. Sometimes Soules would talk, then again he would not. He said the d—d stickers were boring and eating him up. "He would talk to himself and twirl his

^^ames Henry said he had known Soules for thirty-five years. He would sit about the house and would not say anything unless he was spoken to, and sometimes not then. Mr. Henry thought Soules had been of unsound mina for twelve or fifteen years. He had one peculiarity of going to church With a soldier coat on, buttoned up, whether it was cold or hot.

Tbe Effort Being Hade to lake Property Left Him by His Wife.

The case of Thos. Kittle et al. vs. D. W. Henry, guardian of Moses Soules, a penon of unsound mind, was on trial in the Superior court- yesterday, and will probably 'occupy the attention of the court for the remainder of the week. Moses Soules married a daughter of Adam Kittle in 1856. Kittle died and left his property to his daughter, and

Bhe

left it to her hus

band when she died. Soules was adjudged of unsound mind some time ago, and D. W. Henry appointed his guardian. Thos. B. Kittle, a brother of Adam Kittle, claims that Soules was insane when he. married, and therefore the marriage was void. This was the import of the complaint filed in court, and the defense demurred. The demurrer was overrated, and now1 it remains for the pTaintiff to bring in his testimony and prove that he was insane when the marriage was consummated. The case will prove very interesting.- Numerous witnesses have been summoned and the legal talent employed embraces the Republican ana Democratic candidates for circuit judge and prosecutor.

The resignation of the pastor The following paper

We, the members of the First Congregational church and congregation .of Terre Haute, assembled this first day of October, 1884, to consider the letter of reeignation of our beloved pastor, Rev. Charles Croft, do hereby reeolve,

That i£ Is with deep regret we hate read this letter asking for a severance of the happy relation that has bound pastor and people, the shock of which has hardly been leesened by the premonitions we have felt for some months past of its possible necessity. To us this separation seems a mysterious dispensation'of Providence—a relation so perfectly harmonious, so productive of good, to be thus broken seems strange indeed yet it becomee us to believe that it comes from the hand of Him that doeth all things well.

That the few years of his ministry have beeif happy and prosperous'years. That his constant kindness and forbearance, his liberal views, his wisdom in the guidance of this church and his faithfulness in all things have now our admiration and respect and have so endeared Mm to our hearts as to' make tbap separation painful in the extreme.-

That the loss of our pastor is a IOSB to us, each individually to our families, to this community, to the Congregational church of this state and to the whole ministry.

That his disability through disease^ a dire necessity, alonepermite us to accept his proffered reeignation whioh we now do, Invoking the blessing of God upon him and upon ourselves in thin strait, upon him that his-health may be quickly reetored and that the desire ef his heart to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ may be again gratified.

The God of Peace sanctify him wholly, sustain him in this honr of trial and bring him with us to a bleesed resurrection through Jesus Christ our Lord.

United States Marnhals* Accounts. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Ootber 1,

The majority report of the Springer committee on United States' marshals' accounts is made pnblic. It is signed by the Democratic members of the committee, and says: "A stream never rises above its source, and as long as thoee who possess the power of appointing those officers have no appreciation of the true dignity of publii service and regard offices only as rewards to be bestowed upon their most unscrupulous political allies, there is not much reason to hope for any great improvement in the character of our appointed officers." The testimony before the committee clearly shows that utter inefficiency and criminal praotices have prevailed in many parti of this branch of the public service for many years past, and that the govern* ment has been a heavy loser thereby.

XHE SHAIili POX OASES,

Action of the City and Coanty Boards of Health. Readers of the Express are familiar with the report of the small pox cases near Prairieton. It was reportad yesterday that a death had occurred and that there were several new cases. The report, however, is not corroborated.

Dr. J. R. Crapo, of the county Board of Health,~*rote to E. L. Elder, M. D., of Indianapolis secretary of the Indiana Board of Health, and received last evening a letter of which the following brief extracts are taxen:

I can see one good that may result from it viz. the demonstration of tbe value of a county health officer. You now have an opportunity of showing what legalised sanitation can do. I would here emphasise the following: isolation, disenfeotion, vaccination and revaccination. These are sufficient weapons to stamp out the malady. But to succeed yon must not shrink from, the most rigid enforcement of the requirements necessary

cany these into

practice. I send yon to-day 200 preventable diBd&se circulars and a dozen copies of our rules and regulations. I would send a circular'to every family in the neighborhood infected. Let me urge the necessity of a complete vaccination and

vaccination of every

person exposed, no matter how recently vaccinated. Again, be very careful to procure fresh bovine virus. Do not trust anything you do not know to be direct from the farm. This, to my mind, is very important,

Boon as yon get parties under the umuence of vaccinia, variola cannot harm them. Another thing, do not allow any Infected clothing or bedding to remain undeetroyed. Yon have absolute authority and the law will sustain yon in the adoption of all reasonable precautions against the disease.

The letter closes by stating that the board should be firm and pay no regard ^"kickers and bulldozers.'

The city and county boards of health met last night in Dr. Weinstein'B office. Drs. L. J. Willien, E. F. Stetson, L. J. Weinstein and J. R. Crapo, were present The following is the report of the secretary and is Belf explanatory:

Second,'all communication with theinfected district shall be cut off.
