No. 8 "Why did you publicly denounce the explosion on the Old Dominion steamer during the New York coal strike? A. Because those explosions were put up by the Old Dominion employers and detectives themselves. Haskell Were not tbe alleged acts of violence on the Southwest system also put up by the detectives? Powderly Yes, sir. Haskell Viewing these eases, then, do you cot think it reasonable to suppose that the Haymarket borr.b, in Chicago, was also thrown by detectives, a&d solely to kill the eight-hour movement and cast odium on the cause of labor! - Powderly No, sir. Haskell Why not? Powderly Because I had from the brother of A. R. Parsons, evidence enough to conviet the men of Chicago for murder, because I have, in a certain safe, documents that prove that many others have used dynamite and violated the laws. I never destroy any papers I receive; Ihey may be useful. 1 kept silent from generosity, although these men have slandered me in horrible way. The Chicago men are assassins, snd can be proven bo by me. 1 had the proofs it it long. Haskell Then, sir, why did you not denounce ihern at once and prove to the world that they ibould rightfully bang;? Powderly I am not a detective, and it was oot any of mv business. Q.

No. 19 Why did you not step to the front to defend Parsons's helpless wife when he was tn jail for the cause of labor, when she was denied the right of free speech, and jailed for opening her mouth by the drunken Mayor of Columbus, O-? A. My answer is because she is not bis wife; because thoy only live together, and are not married, and because it is not my business to look after any woman of bad reputation, white or negro, who tramps around the country as she does. Q. No. 29 Are yon not bound by your oath as a K. of L. to hold your brother, A. R. Parsons, innocent until be is proved guilty, and have you not prohibited by decision the collection of money to secure for this man, your brother, even a new trial where justice could be obtained, and have yog, naLrtone that despotically and without warrant-rf the order; and had you not previously decided that every local controlled absolutely its own funds? A. I hare sat prohibited the collecting of money. You can collect it if you want to. Who ever says I bave prohibited it lies. I have only prohibited Anarchists voting away the funds of other members.

A. No, sir. He never saw the secret work, nor did I ever say anything of the kind to him. Q. No. 25 Is it not a fact that, contrary to the constitution of the K. of L. you have sworn to execute, that you and your friends schemed to have you paid $5,000 a year, or $14 a day, and have your term extended to two years? A. I am offered a position of $15,000 a year now. I am worth every cent of $15,000 a year. Q. No. 32 Are you a Socialist? A. I am'cot a socialist, if it means red flag and dynamite. Q. No. 33 Is Karl Marx a liar, and are John Swinton, Henry George. Dr. McGlynn, Shevitch; McNeill, Foster and Buchanan demagogues, Anarchists and of tbe dangerous classes in your opinion? This Mr. Powderly forgot to answer. Q. No. 3G Why did you assist in killing the great eight-bonr movement of the American Federation of Trades-unions last May? A. I did not. The General Assembly gave me no orders to act with them in the matter. Q. No. 39 Is it cot true that Litcbman converted some thousands of dollars of K. of L, funds into a press and type for the Statesman, which he never accounted for? A. It is not. Q. No. 45 Have you not taught your ignorant followers that compulsory arbitration is a remedy for their wrongs? If so, how can you defend that action to intelligent men? Can there be such a thing as compulsory arbitration? A. I do favor arbitration. X ean settle nine strikes out of ten with it. Q. No. 47 For what reason did you secretly lend your aid to tbe defeat of the United Labor party of Chicago? A. I did not. Q. No. 48 What is tbe Home Club? A. I don't know. Q. No. 50 Why is Montank refused a charter? Why was D. A. 126 suspended for passing critical resolutions concerning the Home Club and yourself? Is not the printers' D. A. 64 under the ban? Why did von send Bailey to fight tho Amalgamated Association at Mingo Junction, and the carpet-weavers and silversmiths of New Yors.1 Why have you just ordered the ironmolders back to work on scab patterns, and who gives your secret circulars to the capitalistio press? A. Montauk does not get a charter because it does not pay what it owes. Printers district No. 64 is not in the slightest degree under the ban. Bailey was not sent to fight the Amalgamated Association at Mingo, secretly. I hope that everybody is satisfied with my defense. OTHER LAIIOR NEWS. Tlia New York Central Labor Union DIscnsses tlie Saturday Night Affray. New York, Sept .9. The trouble with the police at the Progressiva Labor party's massmeeting at Union square, Saturday night, restored the wrangling factions of tbe Central Labor Union to at least temporary harmony at their meeting to-day. Delegate Hawkes. a printer, who is a pronounced George man, offered resolutions denouncing the police for interfering at tbe Union-square meeting, and they were seconded by several George men. Delegate Kayburn, in speaking on tbe resolution, said that tbe circumstances which bad brought about the Chicago Haymarket bomb-throwing were identical with those that precipitated last night's onslaught upon the peaceably assembled workingmen of New York. Tbe resolutions first offered were not deemed sufficiently strong, and they were rewritten and unanimously adopted. They declared that the the meeting on Union square had been called to dicus political questions; that it was a peaceable meeting; that it had been interrupted by the police in a brutal and unwarranted manner; that such action on the part of the police.was apt to bring about a state of affairs when citizens whould be compelled to repel such brutal attacks by unlawful means in defense of their constitutional rights, and that the action of the police must be condemned, as they bad, instead of protecting peaceable citizens infringed upon their rights and provoked a bloody riot A committee was appointed to present the resolutions to the board of police tommisatonera. P. II. Gumming, candidate of tne United Labor partyl for State Treasurer, made a speech denouncing tha action of the police, and asserting that workingmen must stand together against tbe common foe. the capitalists. The German Fresco Painters' Union, which was suspended at the last meeting, was reinttated. The lockout of the brass workers was liseussd and they were assured of the Central Labor Union's support. The new scale of Typographical Union No. C, which goes into effect tomorrow, was indorsed, and a complaint that Peter Doelger, tbe brewer, is employing nonunion men on buildings he is erecting, was referred to tho boycott coamitUOi

R. post took charge of the remains.

A Woman's Strange Find.

MoweaQua, Oct 7.- A lady living near this

place, while cutting up a head of cabbage, a day or two ago, noticed between the leaves what she supposed was a white linen thread. Pulling it out, she found it waa a worm nearly two feet in length. It was placed in a bottle of water, and is still living. It is almost transparent, and seems to have a canalrunning its entire length, in which a dark substance, supposed to be its food, can easily be seen. It is now in the possession of Dr. W. II. Sparling, of this city, who says it is something entirely new to him in animal life. He supposed, however, it came in the recent rains. He will send it to State Entomologist Forbes, of thejlllinois ' University, at Champaign, for examination. An Unfortunate l'oiine Farmer. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Marshall, Oct 9. Gottlieb Spittler, a young farmer, of Anderson township, is a most unfortunate young man. He recently recovered from the effects of the removal of two large tumors, and on Friday went out to fell some trees. He was caught by a tree and his right lez broken in two places; he was also otherwise badly injured. His injuries are very serious.

Brief Mention. A Wabash freight engine switching in the yards at Jacksonville collided with a wagon in which were two boys, Frank Jensen and Frank Gibbons. The former will probably die. In replying to the State Board of Agricultore, the State Board of Live-stock Commissioners say cattle brought to the American fat-stock show in Chicago will be fully protected, and will not be subject to rigorous quarantine regulations. The presence of a virulent form of diphtheria in one of the Decatur public schools is causing much alarm in that portion of the city. Four children in one room have died within a few days, and about twenty-five children have been taken out of the school C. II. Moore, of Clinton, has presented to the Presbyterian Church a $2,000 pipe organ, and publicly to recognize this gift a recital was held, under the supervision of Prof. J. V. Flagler, of New York. Mr. Moore made a similar gift to tbe Methodist Church of Clinton some years ago. "Death to the Sacrilegious." St. Loris, Oct 9. A special from the City of Mexico says there were some very exciting times in tbe suburban Tillage of Guadalupe Hidalgo, yesterday, over the report that an architect had arrived at the Collegiate Church with tbe object of removing the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, concerning which there is much superstition. The native population became alarmed, groups of Indians armed themselves with knives, clubs, etc., and when the architect, Mr. Egea, entered the church, the multitude followed him, threatening his life, and could only be pacified by his withdrawal without the coveted image. The populace are guarding the church, singing, "Death to the sacrilegious."

Citizen Train's Fierce Talk. CniCAGO, Sept 9. George Francis Train gave a lecture this afternoon, in the Princess Theatre.in behalf of the condemned Anarchists, to an audience of a thousand people. His remarks were mainly incoherent, but often sparkled with bits of quaint bumor. They were received with great enthusiasm, and when - he spoke of bombs and dynamite and fiercely attacked tbe press, the applause was deafening. Train showed method in bis madness, tnd waa guarded in his remarks. During his address he was watched by a detail of detectives who occupied front seats. Woman Deliberately Shot Dead. Long Island City. N. Y., Oct 8. Mrs. Charles Schauffert, of Breslau. while walking on a path across tbe garden of Geo. Gaeblein, of the same place, yesterday afternoon, was shot and instantly killed by Gaeblein, wbo was lying iu wait for the purpose. lie immediately buried tbe woman's body, having had the grave in readiness. The husband of Mrs. Sehauffert came the same way later on, and was also shot by Gaeblein, but received only a slight wound in the band. Qaablein was arrested by a constable, and la

now held at Glest's Hotel. After a search by tbe residents Mrs. Schauffert's body was discovered in the crave. The trouble which led to tbe shooting has been of long standing. It was caused by tbe Scbaufferts using the path through Gaeblein s property. The murderer was locked up. He subsequently made a confession, saying that he deliberately killed Mrs. Scbauffert and had intended to kill her husband. The murderer, while under arrest, swallowed a dose of poison, but not sufficient to cause death, as he recovered from its effects.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Information Concerniog the Outbreak of Tellow Fever at Tampa. Fla. Washington, Oct 9. The Marine Hospital Bureau has received a telegram from Deputy Collector Spencer, of Tampa, Fla., of which the following is a copy: There are twenty-six cases in all; two deaths. It is questionable as to the cause of tbe two deaths. The majority of the sick are convalescing. The town is depopulate!, and very little material is left. The doctors disagree as to whether the disease is dengue or yellow fever. Dr. George W. Stoner, chief of the quarantine division, says that if it is dengne there is no cause for alarm, nor necessity for rigid quarantine, but if a doubt exists it is proper to act on the side of safety. Dengue, or, as it is sometimes called, "breakbone fever," is a very distressing infectious .disease, not contagious in the usual acceptation of the term, and rarely fatal unless complicated with other disease. Dengue prevailed in the West Indies and many places in the South about fifty years ago, ana was prevalent ic several Southern cities in 1S50, especially Charleston, where about four-fifths of tbe population were attacked, but only a few deaths relatively occurred. In yellow fever, on the other hand, the mortality is sometimes as high as 75 per cent Dr. Stoner believes tbe disease at Tampa to be yllow fever. Tbe acting Surgeon-general has also received the following telegram from Tampa: Arrangements will be made to fumigate the mails between Plant City and Lakeland, on the line of the road. Through mails from Havana and Key West are fumigated on board ships, the same as has been done all summor. General Black's Boom. Washington Special. General Black's vice-presidential boom, ordinarily one of the most amusing and inoffensive of booms, has managed unintentionally to cause tbe great sensation of the week, and to bring out Commissioner Oberly's fulmination against office-holders' societies. The Commissioner's letter, as is known, was directed mainly against the Illinois Democratio Association, and the Illinois Democratic Association is General Black's boom. How Mr. Oberly came to puncture his friends gas-bag is the question which is agitating Illinois politicians, but the friendliest of them are ready with tbe suggestion, borrowed from base-ball circles, that it was in the nature of a sacrifice' hit. Oberly saw that the boom was getting away with the General, and, as a friend, had to do something. He knew that it was impossible to changn the General s tactics by any mere argument and so he adopted the heroic course. The result can be expressed in a few words. The boom is baily damaged, but there is still some hope of digging the General out of the wreck. Possible Result of Telegraph Consolidation. Washineton Special. A considerable proportion of the heavy volume of government telegraphing to and from this city has been transacted over the Baltimore & Ohio wires. The absorbing of that company by the Western Union leaves Mackey's United and Postal Lines the only competing wires from this point, and will probably lend force to the movement in the next Congress to establish some sort of government control over tbe telegraph service. It has been suggested that an effort will be made to extend the principle of the interstatecommerce law to telegrapic communication. General Notes. Washington, Oct 9. Senator Voorhees will be at the Ebbitt House until Wednesday, when he will return to Indiana. Miss Voorhees has been in delicate health for some time past, and it is doubtful if she will come to Washington this season. ... -!! At the conclusion of her visit to friends in Yonkers, Mrs. Lamont will go to Bridgeport, Conn., where she will be the guest cf Miss Anna Warner, who spent several weeks with her in Washington last winter. Miss Theresa Blackburn, who has ever been so great a favorite in Washington society, will be married on the 19th instant to Mr. Stewart of Cincinnati. The wedding will take place at the home of her father. Senator Blackburn, at Versailles, Ky., and will be largely attended. Already 1,200 invitations have been issued, and guests are expected from far and near to witness the nuptials of the Senator's attractive little daughter, who has, for several years, so graciously dispensed the hospitalities of her father's house while in this city.

OCTOBER MAGAZINES. A Glimpse at the Literature of the Month Something to Please All Tastes. The North American Review for October contains several articles of unusual interest. Among them is Rev. James Freeman Clarke's creed as given under the head'of Why 1 am not a Free Religionist." Following after Wong Chin Foo's reasons for being a heathen, and Rev." O. B. Frotbiifgham's arguments in favor of free religion he sweeps away the sophistries of those writers without effort. To tbe strictly orthodox who are accustomed unthinkingly to regard Mr. Clarke as something of a heathen, this exposition of the lofty and devout Christian faith will perhaps be in the nature of a revelation. Stephen W. Dorsey points ont the falsity of the charges recently made by George W. Julian in regard to "Land Stealing in New Mexico," and indulges, incidentally, in some very pointed and personal comments on tbe writer's record and the nature of tbe service he has undertaken to perform for the administration. In a very calm and dispassionate manner Henry Clews, the banker, clears away some of the popular "Delusions about Wall Street" Mr. Hugh Black, of Kincardine, Ont, thinks he has discovered another Bacon cipher in Shakespeare's celebrated epitaph. This cipher when applied to the inscription he undertakes to demonstrate not only discloses the assertion that "Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays," but, together with collateral circumstances, brings out the probability that Shakspeare took this manner of acknowledging the truth. Mr. Edward Gaston Clark has investigated Black's theory, and gives his approval of it. If this remarkable discovery be accepted as correct, Donnelly is outdone since it will no longer be necessary to apply his cipher to the body of the work, the epitaph being sufficiently convincing. The fifth paper of the series in "Forsible Presidents," sets forth the merits of David B. Hill. James W. Watson writes of his acquaintance with the King of Dahomey, and General Beauregard contributes a paper on the battle of Petersburg. Several articles of a political nature complete the number. The reading public is apt to assume that the best periodical lecture is monopolized by the half dozen or so- magazines popularly known as "first-class," and inclined to look with some distrust upon the claims of new candidates for their favor in this field. An examination of some of these young and ambitious publications, however, is convincing proof of their error. Among the several recent ventures of this sort, none has established itself so rapidly near the front rank as the American Magazine. Beginning as the Brooklyn Magazine, it passed into other hands a few months ago, was removed to New York, the best writers of the country secured as contributors and editors of ability and discrimination placed in charge. The result is not only pleasing to the public to which it caters, but must be gratifying to the publishers. The October number opens with an illustrated article by Arthur Howard Noll, descriptive of Mount Popocatapetl, or "The Mountain that Smokes.' Another illustrated sketch bears tbe enticing title, "A Pot Hunter's Paradise." C. B. Adams writes entertainingly of American experiences in China, Oscar Foote gives the history of the Washington Monument, Paul Pastun discusses Longfellow's Method, Grant Allen describes, in a somewhat egotistical way, his lares and penates. and Z. L. Wbite writes of natural gas and the Pittsburg gas field. One of tbe most interesting and suggestive papers is that by Anna B. McMahon on '"Some New Factors in Social Evolution," said factors being the increasingly popular schools for young women and the tendency to educate girls to a higher point of culture than that attained by their brothers. The fiction of the number is eood. The serial, "Olivia Dolaplaine." is in Edgar Fawcett's best vein. The "Twins of Weasel Branch" is a curious study of the primitive conditions of life in the Tennessee mountains. Kate Putnam Osgood and Maurice Thompson are among the poetical contributors. The editorial departments are well conducted, and have some features oat of the stereotyped order. The Century for October is of the even merit which its readers have learned to expect, and contains no especially noticeable features. The onening paper is one of Miss Van Rensselaer's interesting architectural studies, Ely Cathedral being chosen as the subject. The Lincoln history has reached the first chapter of the secession movement, and relates the part taken in the preliminary proceedings by traitorous members of Buchanan's Cabinet, considerable private correspondence being given to show the double part they acted for months. "Uncle Tom in Kentucky," by James Lane Allen, is an account of slave life as it was in that State when Mrs. Stowe made her studies of Uncle Tom and his family. An excellent portrait of Mrs. Stowe forms the frontispiece of the magazine as an accompaniment to this article. Frank Stockton's "Hundredth Man," a story not in the writer's best vein, reaches its conclusion in this issue, as does also Joel Chandler Harris's "Azalia." "The American Game of Foot-ball." with diagrams and illustrations, is a paper to please those who are interested in athletie sports. Edmund Clarence Stedman contributes an interesting study of English poetry, under the head of "Twelve Years of British Song." The installment of war papers consists of an account, by Capt Daniel Oakey, of the march through Georgia and the Carolines; of Sherman's march from Savannah to Bentonville. by Gen. W. H. Slocum: and of the battle of Bentonville, by. Wade Hampton. The poetry is of the usual mac azine quality. Among the "Topics of the Time," discussed editorially, are the jury system and tbe restriction of immigration. The October Wide-Awake is a particularly good one. There is a greater variety of subjects than usual and some new names appear among the contributors. Maurice Thompson tells about one of his boyish freaks in a sail-boat in the Gulf of Mexico, having started out to be a pirate. Grant Alien gives a lesson in botany, his snbject being "The Pitcher Plant" "The Story of Keedon's Blnffs," bv Charles Egbert Craddock, is concluded, and Mrs. Catherwood's "The Secret of Roseladies," is continued in her happiest vein. There is a beautifully illustrated poem, by Mary Barker Dodge, called "The Dairy Maids of Dort," which is a fit companion for the illustrated article, "Concord; Her Highways and Byways.' by Margaret Sidney. In the latter, one learns about the haunts of Thoreau, and gets a glimpse into the studio of French, the sculptor, and the old Concord Library. In the "Successful Womea" series, the story of the life of Alice E. Freeman, president of Wellesley College, is told; and there is fairy tale by Louis Imogen Guiney and another chapter of "War Times at LaRose Blanche." Taken all together, it is a charming number. In the October number of tbe Magazine of American History Rev. Philip Schaff, D. D., begins a series of papers on "The American Chapter of Church History, or the Relationship of Church and State in the United States." A portrait of Daniel Webster, which forms the frontispice of this issue, shows him to have been remarkably handsome as a young man, and forms a curious contrast to the more familiar portraits of this statesman taken later in life. A portrait study, which forms the frontispiece of the English Illustrated Magazine for October, is not confirmatory of the common impression that the best engraving appears in American periodicals. In fact, all the artistic work in this magazine is a refutation of that claim. The "Story of Jael," which begins in this number, creates a bad impression by the head-line to a chapter which reads, "A Jail-oress." One does not enjoy puns in novels. The fifth number of the Century's war papers includes among other apers Gen. Lew Wallace's account of tbe capture of Fort Donelson, and Rear Admiral Henry Walke's description of the work performed by the Western flotilla at Fort Donelson, Island No. 10, Fort Pillow and Memphis. These papers are accompanied by notes and explanations which connect tbe independent chapters and give a unity to the history. Tbe American edition of the Illustrated London News for Oct 1 contains a full-page illustration of Miss Mary Anderson as Hermoine, in a "Winter's Tale;" pictures of the new Chinese naval squadron, and an illustrated article on "English Exploration in Egypt," besides other articles of interest and pictures of merit. Dealers now furnish this periodical for 10 cents a copy. The contents of Popular Science Monthly for October fully sustain tbe right of the magazine to its title. Prof. Joseph LeComte answers the question, "What is Evolutionl" Miss Gordon Cumming writes of strange medicines used in different part of the world; Pro! Eawari

Moore tells what American zoologists have done for evolution; M. Alfred Fonill discusses the language of the emotions, and Henry J. Philpott continues his series of social studies. Other contributions are of equal interest. American Art, which completes its first year with the October numb-r, has demonstrated its right to a place in its particular field of labor. The publishers announce that they have met with ait encouragement that has has not only enabled them to maintain their promises to the public, but will permit them to broaden the scope of the magazine. The Connoisseur, the little art quarterly, issued by Bailey, Banks & Biddle, of Philadelphia, devotes considerable space in the autumn number to an account of the artist Monks and his works. Several illustrations from bis etchings accompany the article. . The frontispiece is a beautiful little etching of a female head. Maurice Thompson, who is contributing a series of studies of prominent novelists to the Philadelphia Book News, takes "Alphonse Daudet" for his subject in the October issue. A portrait of Dr. Weir Mitchell, Philadelphia's literary physician, forms the frontispiece of the magazine. The black and white studies and illustrations in the October Art Amateur are particularly meritorious. The colored supplement is a landscape by Hilliard. This magazine is offering special inducements to its patrons for the coming year. 23 Union Square, New York. A feature of Outing for October is an illustrated article on fencing, entitled "A Bout with the Foile." by Eugene Van Schaick, of the Knickerbocker fencing club. The other contributions ar breezy out-of-doors papers by tourists and lovers of athletic sports. The special feature of the October Overland Monthly is the diary of H. W. Bigler, which is pronounced the most authoritative record of the California gold discovery. Apart from its historical interest, this diary is readable and interesting. BOYCOTTEBS CONVICTED. A Judicial Designation or Facts That Constitute Conspiracy. Washineton Special. There is consternation among union men iu this city becanse seven members of the Washington Musical Assembly and one journeyman tailor, also a member of the Kniehta of Labor, were convicted of conspiracy to-day in the police court They were sentenced to pay a fine of $25 each, or in default to be imprisoned for thirty days. This was a case of boycott against a member of the Musical Union named Kraus and his band for the non-payment of a fine imposed by the assembly for some violation of its rules. Tbe judge, in a very interesting opinion, after quoting numerous legal authorities to show vthat constituted a conspiracy and to prove that actual violence was not necessary in committing the offense alleged, said: "No question is made in this case as to the rights of laboring men to do all they can to improve their condition, increase their wages, and protect themselves against the domination of capital or capitalists by all lawful and peaceable means, including all forms of organizations. In nnion there is strength. The theory of our institutions is that every man is to have all the liberty consistent with another man's liberty, which permits him to exercise all his natural rights and to nse his property as he pleases, provided he does not injure another man's rights or invade another man's property. "The present case shows that Kraus and his associates were musicians and members of the Washington Musical Assembly, that he was fined, and suspended for non-payment of the fine, and that there was a meeting of the assembly and measures instituted to enforce the payment of the fine. Committees, consisting of these defendants, some appearing at one place and others at different points, in pursuance of instructions, visited beer-gardens, steamboats and restaurants for the purpose of securing the employment ostensibly of union music. In this there was no violation of law, but if this were not their real purpose, but a pretense, the case is different "We can only judge by what they actually did. Kraus bad refused to pay his fine, and it bad been decided by a vote ot tbe assembly to discipline him and compel the payment of the finer and force his submission to the rules of the assembly, or in the language of Wilde, 'to down him' not by due process of the law, but by the instrumentalities of annoyance to his business, and interference, by requesting and persuading bis employers to discbarge him and bis associates and to employ them L e., the Washington Musical Assembly musie or nnion music. "If tne committee made up of these defendants went to the patrons of Kraus and told them that Kraus was not in good standing in tbe community or elsewhere, had been suspended by tbe Washington Musical Assembly, was a scab and had scab music, with the design to prejudice him in his business as a musician, and secure his discharge when employed and prevent bis employment by others; if by such influences and by offering pecuniary inducements to break contraots already made, or not to make future engagements with him in relation to his business; or if they talked about a 'boycott' and ten thousand or sixty thousand men back of them, that the employment of Krans might be derogatory to business; if such talk was made with the purpose to create fear, arouse apprehensions, and thus secure tbe discharge.of Kraus and his associates, or prevent his employment whether the purpose was actually accomplished or not, the acts are unlawful acts, within the meaning of the law, and make the participants guilty of conspiracy." The defendants noted an appeal.

A KEJUINXSCENCE. General Scott's Political Tour of the Country Things that Cleveland Should Study. , Hew York Worla. In 1852 Gen. Winfield Scott znade a tour through several of the States of the Union. The ostensible object of the journey was to locate the site of a Soldiers and Sailors' Home at the Blue Licks in Kentucky. The real object was to let the people of the country see the great General and to win their support for him in the election for President, Scott being the Whig candidate. He was accompanied officially by General Wool and Surgeon-General Lawson; but he had been well coached by Hot ace Greeley and William H. Seward in the political portion of tbe show before he started. At all the places he visited General Scott was enthusiastically received and welcomed by great crowds of people. Wherever the train on which he traveled made a stop hundreds of persons gathered about the platform, anxious for an opportunity to shake him by tbe band. At the cities he visited there were receptions, extraordinary demonstrations and banquets, and the hand-shaKing was relentlessly exacted. The General, wbo was not accustomed to judge of the real sentiments of a crowd, supposed from tho magoitude of the demonstrations that his election to the presidency was assured. VThen the poils were closed on election day General Scott had carried but four States. Scott received 42 electoral votes and Pierce received 254. General Scott did not know that the people flocked to see him because he held a distinguished position in the country and was a candidate for the presidency. They were willing to do him honor and to gratify their own curiosity. He made very few mistakes on his trip, and his short speeches were by no means bad ones. The people received them with much favor. But when they went to the polls probably not a single vote was influenced by the General's electioneering tour. Interviewed In a Bath-Boom. Chicago Mail. Imagine a big, well-built man, with snowwhite hair, scanty, short, grizzled beard, brown face, purple lips, "and white teeth capering up and down in the hot room of a Turkish bath, while a sweating reporter jotted down his utterances. Then you bave a picture of the circumstances under which a reporter secured an interview with Georee Francis Train. He wouldn't shake hands. "No," said he, "you'd tap me of my psychological foree. and I should be reduced to the level of the common herd then. I am full of electricity. 1 and Eckert. of the Western Union Telegraph Company, are the only men in the world with sufficient nerve force in the body to telegraph one thousand miles without the aid of a battery. If I imparted that strength to everybody I should come down from the mountain-top wbre I was born and where I live. Look here," be said, closing his band violently and as quickly throwing it open again, "see that lightning flush of red! That shows the vigor of my health. See how bright that red is. That means two hundred years of life to me." It wasn't five minutes before every man in the bath was opening and shutting his hand to see how long be would live.

SENT FROM SWIFT CASS. Experiments lu Telegraphy on Movlnf Train Its Working Described. New York Coriraercial Advertiser. The question of telegraphing between and to and from moving trains has long interested electricians and railroad managers, aud the , rapid strides that have been made by experiments in this direction have been eagerly ' watched by those interested. At a meeting of the Electric Club, of this city, held on Sept. 15, the subiect was discussed at lencth by Charles ' A. Cheever, and tbe members manifested so much interest in it that the company which controls the system invited them to a practical exhibition of its workings on the New Jersey division of the Lehigh Valley railroad to-day. A large number of scientists were present, including the chief inventors, Thomas A- Edison and Lucius J. Phelps, and many railroad officers. Forsevoral months Mr. Edison and Mr. Phelps experimented separately on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, Staten Island & New York, New Haven & Hartford railroads. Tbe system of each was more or less imperfect, and in April of this year they united in forming a new company, called the Consolidated Railway Telegraph Company. This company has been operating on the Lehigh road with the combined systems for some weeks. Messages are daily sent from the trains on the road, and it has been found that under the conditions of weather tbe transmission is as accurate and complate as in the case of ordinary telegraph messages no matter how fast the train may be moving. EJRailroad officers recognize tbe invention as one or great significance. Its general introduction, if found practicable, they say would be of incalculable benefit in preventing accidents and in doing away with the large number of isolated telegraph stations which are now required in desert places merely to keep the train dispatchers posted as to tbe movements of trains. Electricians regard tbe invention as a great advance in the direction of communication by induction . telegraphy. Mr. Edison has great hopes of extending the system so as to establish communication between moving ships at sea. Already he has succeeded in sending messages to and from a vessel 200 feet from shore by this means, f and on one occasion communicated with a vessel ' more than 500 feet off. The party 0 electricians and others boarded a train of the Lehigh road at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon. On the train was a car bearing the inscription: "Telegraph office on this train. Messages sent and received while the train is in motion." At the end of this car sat an operator with an ordinary telegraph instrnment before' him. A wire ran from the instrument to the metal root of the car, where it was fastened in a brass damn. This is all that is required. The principle of the system is that when tbe train is running along parallel to the telegraph wires a message sent over the latter jumps from the. metal roof of the car and is received by the operator below. He takes it by means of a small telephone, of which receivers , are strapped to his ears. It has been found that a message will jump through the air in this way a distance of from ten to twenty feet The regular telegraph wires can be used, but the company prefers to run a wire along special, short poles.

I fills SHERIDAN.

The Delightful Home Life of the LieutenantGeneral of the Army. V7ashinjrt(0 Special. Lieut -Gen. P. IL Sheridan is not a candidate for tbe presideury. He laughs at the jdea. He is no orator or statesman, but just a plain, blunt soldier, and no cn know bis limitations better than he. He was and is a great fighter and a good soldier, but something more is necessary in the President of the United States. A soldier must be a Grant or a Jackson to make a President of the United States. Personally "Little . Phil" is as eood as gold and as handsome as helooks. His heart is a good deal bigger than his body. He is a delightful companion at ail times, whether in his own home, on Rhode Island avenue, surrounded by his charming family, in his office iu the War Department, at the Metropolitan Club, or at a dinner party. He is simple, frank, manly, kindly to everybody, and the best friend in the world. He is. a natural story-teller, his Irish wit and imitative powers giving every story a rare flavor. He lives very simply but comfortably in the house on Rhode Island avenue, bought with the fund presented to bim by admirers after the war. He is at his office early every morning, usually walking down in fair weather, and back again at 5 o'clock. If raining, he drives down in a plain carriage drawn by two fine black horses in plain harness. He likes dinners, theaters, races and eards, but his chief entertainment is found in the company of his little ones. They are handsome, healthy children, dressed in very picturesque costumes, which attract the attention of strangers who may not recognize the gray-haired old soldier with them as Little Phil. To take them to a matinee at the theater, or circus, or for a stroll down one of the broad avenues is pleasure enough for one day for tbe Lieutenant-general cf the army. Sheridan receives as Lieutenantgeneral of the army a salary of $11,000 a year, an allowance of $1,200 a year for quarters, and sundry other allowances which bring bis income up to $13,000. He married for love and not for money you can't imagine him in the son-in-law business. He is a devout member of the Roman Catholic Chuurch. occupying his pew ia St Matthew's, on H street, at high mass every ' Sunday morning and listening witn interest to the eloquence of Rev. Dr. Chappell. No one in Washington will miss the brilliant pastor of St Matthew's should the latter be made Bishop of New Orleans, as rumor will bave it, more than General Sheridan.

The President's Fassme Wonder Kansas City Journal. A peculiarly touching incident of the President's journey from St Louis, to Chicago occurred when the train passed Joliet prison. A large number of Democratic politicians, formerly of Chicago, were drawn up in line in their striped clothes, and at a sienal from the guard, gave three cheers for Grover Cleveland, their choice for 1888. And as tbe President wiped away a tear he said softly to Daniel: "I wonder if those poor fellows will be out in time to votel"
