As we have previously given an account of the removal of the I)r. Harter Medicine Co. from St. Louis to Dayton, Ohio we omit that part. Suffice it to say the train carried a jolly party consisting of the managers and employees of the Medicine Co. advertising managers I from St. Paul and Chicago and editors from four states, Missouri, Illinois,

Dr. S. S. Boots representing the Herald, Harry Strickland the Tribune and W. S. Montgomery the REPUBLICAN, joined the excursion at this city and enjoyed a very delightful trip. The trip was marked by large crowds at all the stations especially Richmond where dinner was eaten. A slight accident to the engine near Dublin in which the dome was injured caused a delay of an hour. Upon the arrival of the train at Dayton it was greeted by the blowing of all the factory whistleB aud the ringing of the fire bells of the city. The people also were out in enormous numbers and gathered up the advertising matter distributed from the train. The company and its guests were taken to the Atlas, a fine new hotel, where all were entertained. The Greenfield party, accompanied by J. C. Ochiltree, editor of the Richmond Telegram,

took a trip on the electric cars to the Soldiers* Home, which is indeed a magnificent place. It has many grand and splendid buildings, lakes, water falls, fountains, flowers, monuments, pieces of ordnance, groves and hundreds of acres of elegantly rolling land, beautified both by nature and art. The Home now contains about 6,000 old soldiers, and one thing peculiar we noticed was that the larger pumber of them were Irishmen.

At 7 o'clock the Board of Trade had prepared for a grand industrial parade, showing how well they appreciated the coming of a new industry. There were nearly two hundred carriages in line containing .the managers and business force of the .Dr. Harter Medicine Co., their guests and members of the Board of Trade. In addition there were a large number of floats representing the company's business, and many express wagons, all abundantly supplied with fire works.

houses along the line of

march were decorated and illuminated, and the people were out ea masse, lining both sides of the street, so that it was a great sight. One man remarked that Dayton was only estimated to contain 80,000 people, but he was satisfied that he saw F00,000.

The banquet at the Atlas Hotel was a superb affair, and showed to a great degree the secret of Dayton's success as & commercial and manufacturing city. Her businessmen are thoroughly united in advancing tlieir own, thur neighbors and the city's business. They greet all newcomers in a broad-minded, liberal and hospitable manner that shows the welcome to be of the true kind. Covers were laid for 150 ^'guests. The cuisine and service were of the highest quality and all enjoyed the banquet to the greatest possible extent.

After dinner came the oratory. E. M. Thresher, president of tliel3oardof Trndeand Toast Master, delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by W. M. Hayner, manager of the company. who neatly introduced Hon. Thomas 1 Kyle, of Troy, O., the company's attorney, who spoke at some length in a happy and pleasing style. This was followed by not nuss a number of Dayton's leading business Tallin men who responded to toasts in such a style as to merit continuous applause. Dayton's merits were set forth in glowing terms and the magnitude of her business astonished even the home people, who had hardly realized its great growth. There are 150 corporations representing §25,000,000 and 700 firms representing as much more. The banks haveacapi-

Dayton is a beautiful city, with elegant homes, splendid business blocks, finely paved streets, electric railway system and everything that goes to make up a city of the best class.

Dayton will do much for the Dr. Harter Medicine Company, and the company will do much for Dayton with its 20,000,000 pieces of advertising matter and its hustling business representatives. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kahoe, of the Herald, Mr Huffman of the Times and' News, and Abraham and Charles Bickham of the Journal, all succeessful and genial Dayton newspaper men, who are continuously advancing Dayton's interests. There are no drones in that busy business hive all are workers and pushers, and the success Dayton has won is the legitimate rewards of well-directed labor. Daytonians are locally loyal and liberal and we fell in love with their style. To W. M. Hayner and W. 8. Kidder, managers, and W. H. Yeazell, of the Harter Medicine Company, the representatives from Greenfield are under obligations for many courtesies. May they and their company live long and prosper.

ECKERTY, Ind., Aug. 9. While Michael Baugha was passing through his pasture, 011 his way to church, he was attacked by a maddened horse, the animal biting the fleshy part of the arm below the elbow almost away, and forcing the man to the ground, where it continued to attack him until attention was attracted to several persons but a short distance away. This saved Mr. Baugha's life.

Mrs. Ella Walton of tho second group, who attempted to escape by running, was overtaken by the horse and struck down by its fore feet and crippled for life, if not fatally injured. The horse was then shot and killed before further damage -was done. Both Mr. Baugha and Mrs. Walton are critically hurt. Mrs. Walton was married less than 12 months ago.

MEETING OF OPERATORS.

A Determined Fight For the Filty-One Cent Until October 1.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 9.—There was another meeting of Indiana bituminous operators yesterday to make more perfect the combination to resist the demand from miners for the GO-cent rate. At the meeting Tuesday night about 90 percentage of the tonnage of the state was represented, and yesterday practically all the remainder were brought into line.

It was agreed that the operators would no longer have any dealing with' the United Mine Workers, but that in each district the men are to be dealt with through committees. It means a determined fight for the 51 cent until Oct. 1 and GO cent from then until next May.

The vessel struck at 2 o'clock in tho morning. Jfc was soon seen that there was

possible chance to save the ves­

One of the boats reached Forst.rr yesterday, but the others have not been heard from, and it is feared thoy lnivo been lost. There were a large number of Australian and English passengers on the steamer.

A tug which has just returned from the scene of the wreck saw nothing of the remainder of the passengers and crew of the steamship and there is now little doubt that GO persons were drowned, of whom 40 were Chinese. Second Officer Langfir, who had the watch on deok at the time of the disaster, states that tlie night was very dark.

THE QUICKNESS OF AN OUTLAW,

Frank James' Display of Skill When He, Surrendered to Governor Crittenden.

While Thomas T. Crittenden, consul general to Mexico, was in. this city recently, some new details wore related of the great event of his term as governor, the death of Jesse James, the outlaw, and tho disruption of the gang. Finis' C. Farr, who was Governor Crittenden'e private secretary and is now an attorney in the city, was present when Franfc James surrendered, and it was in connection with the surrender that one story was told. Governor Crittenden has always been very proud of the fact thai he was the means of ridding the state of tho James gang. After he had arranged. for the surrender of Frank he invited: several gentlemen to be present to wifcnses the scene.

Negotiations for the surrender of. the outlaw had been made by Colonel Johu Edwards, who was ar that time editor of the Kansas City Times. The guests assembled at the appointed time in the reception room of the governor's mansion. Promptly at the hour designated Colonel Edwards appeared with Frank James. The two walked arm in arm, and Colonel Edwards advanced and introduced the governor to James. With the guests standing about him, James acknowleged the introduction and said that he had come to surrender and to become once more a citizen who observed the laws of the state. In token of his surrender he unbuckled his belt, oiii which swung two large revolvers, and laid the weapons on the table in front of Governor Crittenden, remarking that as a citizen he would have no further need of them.

The surrender was acknowledged by the governor in a few words pleasantly spoken, and then the guests and the outlaw were all introduced and seated Conversation did not proceed very briskly, for constraint was felt on both sides. James was seated in front of the door and sat with his eyes at all times directed toward it. Every noise in the hali attracted his attention and caused hins to watch the door more closely. He was evidently uneasy without the pistols^ that had so long been IDS constant eora panions.

Finally, after some time had poc= od in that manner, one of the guests made bold to say to tl:e outlaw that for yeais* it had been common report that no mar in the country could draw a gun ami get ready for dciense so quickly as Frank James. Then he asked James show how quickly sneh work could btv done. Evidently tho proposition plca^suJ James, for he smiled and .said he wonV do so if the gentlemen wished it.

James sat about six feet, from the. table, 011 which lay the weapons he had put aside," said Mr. Farr in tolling tin story. "While all wore watching his actions he suddenly arose, sprang towaro the table, seized the belt and swung around his waist, as lie brushed his lous coat aside, and in tlie shortest, time im- ew aginablo he snapped the fastening, his hands crossed on his body, and tlin from the belt, lie brought forth two pistols and stood with them presented. All this was done in a second, it seemed teme. I was watching him as closely a? possible, and it surety did not seem to be more than a .-t\ n.ni from the moment I10 rose from his chair until he stood with two pistols presented, ready for war or deieiise. It was so marvelous as exhil'ition that the i.'tlemen present and congratulated !!el dexterity. r, peaied to please mi led as he heard acknowledgment? miking. He soou.

were all astonished the man on his skill "Tho compliment: him greatly, for he them and bowed hi: to tho men who v.vi changed the conveisarioa to another subject ami the matterwat not mentioned, again." ^Another point brought out is that despite the fact that Governor Crittendeii arranged with the Ford boys to slay-

Jesse James at his home in St. Joseph friendship has always existed between. Governor Crittenden and Frank James. After his acquittal Frank James presented Governor Crittenden with Jesse James'favorite pistol, which lie had justlaid asido when Dob Ford shut liiin tho back. Governor Crittenden still has tho weapon and carries it with liiin in his travels. He had it with him during his visit hero aud showed it to many of his friends. It is he. weapon that was used when Billy West fall, the Rock Island conductor, was shot and killed at Winston during a train robbery.—Kausas City Letter in Now York Sun. 'v-

Wliat Sir Walter Scott Thought Ilot.

Wo complain of our hot weather, and. yet wo can scarcely realize what it must bo to foreigners, as the British, who have never known the thermometer to mount above what to us is an autumnlike temperature. We consider England raw and cold, and still the Scotch talk as Scott did of the Anglican youth's better manners, as "ripened by the sun of the south." Sir Walter made some entries in his journal which seem very odd to us, with 90 degrees of heat by no means a rare thing in our experience. He dolefully indited that he was obliged to walk in the shade of the houses, because it was 68 in even that shade ono day, and began another entry: "Hot! Hot! Hot I Sixty-five here.
