UR. BRYAN TOO HOARSE TO MARE SPEECHES TO-DAY.

Mr. Bland In DoIhk It For Him—Tl»<s i Trip Throuab P« nn«ylvanla — At Campnlffn H«*a«l»|iinrterr—Other S- Political Matter* ol the Day.

Pit tabu ry, Pa., August 11.—The Hon. WUIiam J. Bryan and party left Kttabury at 7:30 ttol* morning on the day express over the main line of the Pennsylvania reed and continued their Journey eastward. It was an early hour to start after (leviny retired so l&te last niffht, and another hard day’s work was begun by the Democratic presidential candidate. The Pittsburg reception committee, headed by Chairman Howlev, called at the hotel at 7 o'clock, and five minutes later the proceslson started for the Union station. There was no brass band to speed the parting guests, but a good-sized crowd had gathered In front of the hotel to catch a glimpse of the "boy orator.” When he made his appearance, a lusty cheer went up. He looked tired and sleepy, and It is little wonder after the ordeal he has experienced since last Friday. All along the route to the station the - party was greeted with cheers. Quite a crowd had gathered there, and, as the distinguished party hurriedy embarked on ‘ Che waiting train, the members received * hearty send-off. The day express is a Cast train and will make but few stops on the eastward Journey. Between Pittsburg and Altoona the only points are Greensburg,. Latrobe and Johnstown. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, over whose line the Bryan party, traveled from Chicago to Pittsburg, furnished special parlor and sleeping coaches for the party and did all that was possible to make every ope feel safe and comfortable. The run was made through a portion of four States without accident or delay, and, while stops were frequent, the train arrived at Pittsburg but a, few minutes behind time. Though all were glad to leave the train on account of! the heat, pH were satisfied that the railroad company had more than performed its duty as a dommdn carrier of passengers, and felt accordingly gratified to the officers of that corporation. The newspaper men aboard the train were afforded every facility by the company for filing and forwarding their dispatches. The Hon. James Kerr, ex-raember of Congress from Pennsylvania, and ex-clerk Of the House of Representatives, at Washington, chartered a special Pullman car and invited Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Mr. and Mrs. Bland, the newspaper representlves and some personal friends to be his guests on the trip from Pittsburg to New York. It was a kind and happy thought on the part of Mr. Kerr, and was much appreciated by his guests. MAKING NO SPEECHES TO-DAY. Mr. Bryna la Too Hoarse — Hts Trip Tltroaali PeiiMsylvanla. Harrisburg, Pa., August 11.—The Bryan party, after leaving Pittsburg this morning, had a pleasant ride over Che mountains. The first station! but wa« Irwin, where about BOO people had gathered, but the train went through without stopping. It arrived at Greensburg at 8:31 a. m., and only stopped for about two minue*. About 1,000 people were at the station. Mr. Bryan appeared on the rear platform anOswas greeted by a hearty cheer. He refused to speak, however, and bowed his acknowledgments. Mrs. Bryan also came out on the platform and shook hands with a number of those present. During the stop several "crooks” p}ied a thriving business, and relieved a number of oitlsen* of their

valuables.

It was understood that Mr. Bryan will do little 1-f any speaking on the route to New York. In fact, Mr. Bryan has done - what he was frequently cautioned by Mrs. Ijiryan he would do, that is, he has talked himself hoarse before toe raacaed New York. This morning he was practically forced to restrain his incHnatlans toward volubility, and enter upon a system of vocal culture. He Is quite hoarse, and If he does not mend his voice before Wednesday night it will materially affect the force of his anticipated speech at MadIso*- Square Garden. Mrs. Bryan also shews evidences of over-exertion of the voice, and is quite hoarse, but what most (won led her this morning was that during her stay in Pittsburg she lost the engagement ring given her by Mr. Bryan when

he won her In 1834.

When the Bryan train reached Latrobe about tyro hundred people greeted the candidate with a shake of the hand. Approaching Johnstown, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bland were escorted to the rear platform

by the committee in charge, for the purpose of permitting Mr. Bland to Introduce Mr. Bryan to the large crowd of people

who were assembled to greet them. Bland attempted to make a little speech. He said: "Fellow Citizens—I am glad to see that even In staid Pennsylvania large crowds can be assembled. Last night, at Pittsburg, fully fifty thousand people w-ere In the streets and at the opera-houses." He succeeded In getting no farther in his remarks. The people wanted to see Mf. Bryan, and not to listen to any talk. Their shouts and cries drowned the speech-making, and Mr. Bland desisted from his effort, simply Introducing Mr. Bryan to the people. The demonstration was enthusiastic., as usual, and during the five minutes' stop hand-shaking and fraternal greetings and congratulations were indulged In. The train moved off amidst

a shout of enthusiasm.

The train bearing the Bryan party passed Cresson, Pa., at 10:30 o'clock, with all of the party except Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr. Bland occupying the open observation car. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr. Bland remained In the coach, and •scaped the friendly salutee proffered gen•fdnalyJ&y the people living all along the route. Several hundred people visited the train at this point, and shook hands with

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. KatbMlaam at Altoona.

Altoona was stirred up somewhat over the passage of Mr. Bryan through the city, and several thousand people were at the station to give him a cordial welcome. The rail Inclosure was filled with Jubilant and clamorous men and women, while ihe streets outside the restraining fence were packed full of people for a distance of two blocks or more; hundreds of Bryan badges were seen. There was one group of 900 workmen from the railroad shops who constituted but a very small proportion of the aggregate gathering. Crowds surged around the train, and the scramble for recognition by the distinguished visitor was as Intense as only rugged workmen could make It. Mr. Bryan shook hands with as many as possible during the live minutes’ stay. Cheers were continuous, and persistent demands were made for a speech. Owing to the condition of his voice and hi* desire to retain in a measure the power of speech, Mr. Bryan declined to speak, although be was manifestly greatly pleased by the demonstration. In his stead Mr. Bland responded, saying; "Ladles and Gentlemen—Demonstrations •Er h ** h ? ve «rr® at Political stgmfioance. They show that the people are rising in their ra’ght. This audience that I oee before me now is only a repetition of what I have seen along the line, and If the silver sentiment continues to Increase from oov oh, as it has in the past, we w.U sweep Wtllam J. Bryan Info the Wh.te House by an overwhelming major!:v. (Great applause and loud cheeringj The people of this country know that—" here Mr. Bland was interrupted by the loud cries tor "Bryan, Bryan.” When the noUe had subsided, Mr. Bland again proceeded^ saying: We propose to put the labor.ng people in this country to work and not have them tramping for work (great applause and cheering), and this is the great coming up of the plain people

of this country.

Again the crowd interrupted the speaker, but In a few moments the silver leader •f Missouri continued: “You have got a aiivahr c i U b? ^Crles of ‘Yes. yes.’)

hundreds of workmen strung along the fences of the Pennsylvania road’s great shop yards, waved their toli-sta.aed caps In greeting to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, who returned tne salute. When the Bryan train reached Tyrone about 250 men and women waded through the rrrud and water in a ditch beside the track to catch the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, cheering meanwhile with spirit and effect. Again Mr. Bland responded to the calls for Bryan, saying: “Ladies and Gentlemen—At every station we have passed and the train has stopped for a few moments, we found the people congregating to cheer and shout for Mr. Bryan and the free coinage of silver. We know, my friends, that this is a campaign of the people and not of the bosses and leaders. The people themselvea have taken up this cause, and Intend to make a success of it. The great masses of the laboring people of this country are interested more than they have ever been heretofore in the issues of this campaign. One thing is sure—they want a change in our financial system so that It will not be necessary to have a continued bond sale.” (Great applause.)

TOO HOT EVEN FOR POLITICS. Quiet nt •National Headquarters— The “Business Men’s Campaign.” Washington, D. C., August 11.—Political affairs are quiet at the several headquarters. The weather seems to affect even the politicians. At Republican headquarters letters received from Kansas, Iowa and Missouri all spoke of Improvement In the political outlook, and said that all that was needed at this time was great quantities of financial literature. The Democratic congressional campaign committee issued a document to-day on "The Business Men’s Campaign.” It says that the Republicans propose such a campaign, and that the Democracy accepts the issue. The document first quotes Mr. Bryan's declaration that the farmer or the hired employe la as much a business man as the banker or the big merchant. It then gives a list of the number of persons employed in fourteen useful pursuits. Including agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation, etc., the purpose being to show the comparatively small percentage comprised under the head of bankers, brokers and wholesalers. The document comments on these figures, winding up with the assertion that from the Republican standpoint only the few bankers, brokers, wholesalers and corporation officers are business men, while from the Democratic standpoint the millions of farmers, producers and laborers of all classes are aa much business men as the few who live, thrive and grow rich by trading in the products of labor. 8 Senator Jones, chairman of the national Democratic committee; Senator Faulkner, chairman of the congressional committee, and Lawrence Gardner, secretary of .the latter committee, have gone to New York to attend the meeting of the national committee and to meet Mr. Bryan on his arrival to-night. STEWART’S SILVER SPF.ECH. The Treasury Officials Send It Out By Mistake. Waahlngtot^ D. C., August 11.—Some consternation has been created at the Treasury Department through the discovery that in some unexplained manner the bureau officers had been guilty of circulating some of Senator Stewart’s silver speeches. To answer comprehensively all ctf the many questions relative to currency questions that have been pouring in Secretary Carlisle some time ago caused to be prepared “Circular No. 123,’’ a pamphlet of fifty-three printed pages, giving much Information respecting bond Issues, paper currency and the like. Whenever an application for information was received the answer to which could be found in this little volume, the bureau chief receiving the letter would simply mail one of them to the applicant In place of writing out an answer. This has been going on for at least a week, and there is no telling how many circulars had been sent out when a letter came to hand from one of the recipients calling attention to the fact that the department hud sent him in answer to his question a copy of a strong silver speech delivered by Senator Stewart in the Sen--ate September 6, last. An examination of the piles of circulars lying in the departmem showed that In some way the public printing office had bound up In the cover purporting to state the contents of the pamphlet a number of the silver speeches. The officials say- they have found only seventeen of the speeches so far, but there Is no means of learning Just how many of them have been sent under the guise of eouud. financial statistics. Coxey at Marlon. Marlon, August ll.-J. S. Coxey, of the Commonwealers, addressed 2,600 people at Sw&yzee yesterday afternoon. He advocated his non-interest-bearing bond bill, the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and the election of Bryan and Bewail. At the conclusion of his remarks he Invited those present to come forward and subscribe for his paper, Coxey’s Honest Money. Coxey says that he has thus far campaigned In four States, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, and that the stampede into the Bryan ranks is wonderfuL He left to-night for Michigan, where he will preach the doctrines of Populism. One of the features in the meeting to-day was a wagon drawn by sixteen white horses, with one old goldcolored plug In front. “Langs, Lunacy and Larceny.” New York, August 11.—In a sermon on “The Coinage of Heresy,” delivered Sunday night in Calvary Baptist church, in West Fifty-seventh street, by the Rev. Dr. Robert S. McArthur, he said that most of the speeches he had read on free silver were made up of equal parts of lungs, lunacy and larceny. The men who voted for the Chicago platform were voting to enrich the silver barons and to gratify the laudable ambition of a young man to become President of the United States. The text froffi which Dr. McArthur preached was "Provide things honestly in the sight of all men." For the Indianapolis Convention. PorUand.

The poet and his Wife were lovers even In their old age. Lord Tennyson was forty-one when they were married, and he had known her when she was a mere child. Indeed, they had been companions from her girlhood. Her mother was a sister of Sir Jo-hn Franklin, the great Arctic explorer, and her youngest sister was the wife of Charles Tennyson Turn-

As a young woman she had a beautiful, delicate and refined face, and with ago she lost but little of any of these qualities. Her eyes were large and expressive, and her great quantity of wavy brown hair was dressed in the loose ringlets that were fashionable about the time when the po?t wooed and won her. The marriage took place on June 13, 1850, and for a few years after that they lived at Twickenham, which was hallowed by association

New York. August 11.—There were about 190 deaths from the heat in the "Greater New York” district yesterday, although the highest point reached by the temperature, as officially reported, was but 90 degrees. On the streets, however, thermometers recorded 100 degrees and more. The ^suffering was most intense in the tenement sections, where poor people are unable to get breathing space. In these sections the charitable organizations have had. their hands full, many infants and children succumbing to sunstroke. The hospitals were obliged to call on the police departments to aid them in responding to calls, as their ambulances could not cope with the number of cases reported. So police patrol wagons were pressed into service to carry the heat victims to the hospitals.

KUbum, superintendent of banking, was posted on the door of the Murray Hill Bank to-day: “This bank is closed, pending an examination of the condition of Us affairs." The bank Ls one of the oldest State institu-

tions In this city.

The deposits amounted to' about 31,250,000, and .It is believed that they will be paid in full. One reason advanced for the suspension is the fact that the bank had to take a considerable amount of real

estate for loans.

The Murray Hill Bank was organized in 1870. It has been regarded as one of the stronger ot the smaller up-town Institutions. The customers of the bank were chiefly local tradesmen, and it had some brewery accounts. The capital of the bank was 3100,000. Mr. F. T. Hopkins is president, and the directors are: Rufus M. Stivers, John Weber, James Carney, Bernard Metzger, F. T. Hopkins, Phillip Diehl. R. O. N. Ford, Charles H. Helmburg, Albert H. Gale. F. T. Steinway, Thomas McManus, William D. Bruns. Another Bank Suspend*. Duluth, Minn., August 11.—The Security Bank of Duluth, capital 3100,000, one of the leading banks of the city, closed Its doors this morning. Heavy withdrawals of depositors and impossibility of making speedy collections are given as the caulfe. M. D. Kenyon, State examiner, is In charge. The bank’s deposits are In the neighborhood of 3300,000. A Private BanlTFail*. Chicago, August 11.—The private bank of L. D.

Secretary of the Silver Committee— Font Play Sn*peeted. Washington, D. C., August 11.—A. W. Pile, of California, secretary of the national silver committee, was found dead yesterday under circumstances which lead to a suspicion of foul play. He had been missing since last Thursday. Hls body was found under the aqueduct bridge. When last seen he had considerable money on his person, but the money was missing when the body was discovered. A silver watch, however, had not been disturbed. There is no evidence of suicide. The police thus far to-day have failed to secure any clew as to the mystery surrounding the death of Mr. Pile, who was a son of ex-Representative Pile, of California. When the body was found In the Potomac, the shoes and hat were missing, and these are being searched for. There is a theory that he was the victim of "knock out drops" a»t some of the up-river gambling resorts, but this is in part overcome by the fact that his Oliver wq-tch was found or him. It Is smted that Pile hod been drinking when last seen, on Tuesday night a week ago. He way fond) of games pf chance. While evidences of foul play have been found, the police have found nothing to indicate that the dead man committed suicide. They are generally inclined to the belief that hls death was accidental. It may be that because of the excessive heait he went over to the river fiont and removed his shoes and hat In order to get cool, and accidentally fell overboard.

Bangor, Me., August 11.—Dr. Wlhner L Presaey, a Harvard medical student, wo* killed by lightning at uis mother's summer cottage at Isles boro yesterday after noon, while hls right arm rested on the shoulder of his fiancee. Hls body was peculiarly marked by the lightning bolt, and a bright red acar was left over his heart. Mr. Pressey, who was twenty-two, left the public school* of Bangor to studymedicine In Baltimore, later going to Cambridge to continue hls course. Meantime he had become betrothed to *Mlss Brown, whom he met at Islesboro, down the bay. This summer the young woman’s family decided to come to the hotel at Ryder’s Oive, attracted there as much by the beaut)' of the placf as by the fondness for It which their daughter had conceived. Dr. Pressey left a hard winter of work and study in Cambridge to come to islesboro and he brought with him hls yi*ht Mallard, for a cruise about the bay with Mr. Brown and hls daughter. The Browns stayed at the hotel and the Presseys were In a cottage on the shore front, north of the hotel and the steamer pier. Yesterday afternoon all the residents along Penobscot bay were treated to an unusually severe electrical storm. ‘ Miss Brown was in the Pressey cottage passing the afternoon, and the rest of the family were at the hoteL In the Pressey cottage there were four other persons.

Mrs. Pressey, her son Frank, and Margie Blssell were In the dining-room In the front part of the house. Dr. Pressey and Miss Browu were In the living-room, adjoining and opening out of the front of the house by a wide door. As the shower appeared to grow in Intensity Miss Brown became timid. She stood by the table and Dr. Pressey stood beside with the lemon squeezer In the right hand. As she expressed some terror at such a brilliant display of lightning he threw hls right.about her shoulder to reassure her. Killed Instantly. While Dr. Pressey end hls betrothed were thus conversing, the air was suddenly filled with a dreadful flame, the house and all about It wefre shaken by the deafening crash, every Inch of air seemed 66 crammed with blase and noise. When the first shock had cleared away Dr. Pressey lay on th« floor, while over him kneeled the distracted girl to whom h« had Just been offering assurances of safety, trying with bare hands to beat out the flam.s that burned hls clothing. Dr. Pressey had died Instantly on the striking of the bolt The lightning had struck the right hand, which lay as a shelter on the shoulder of Miss Brown, and which also clutched th* lemon squeezer. This latter Instrument was crushed to splinters by the contact. Ths lightning struck the back of tke young man’s head and ran down his arm. Then it went Into hls right side *nd then to hi* left, leaving a bright red mark on hte breast, and passed out of the body hear the heart, which it stilled forever, Th* flame of the fluid must have been Intense, for it burned the hair and eyebrows on the body severely. Without doubt the presence of Dr. Pre*sey’s arm on hi* fiancee’s shoulder saved her life. The shattered house was a sorry; sight. The lightning had wholly perforated Its every part, and signs of lt» terrific force 'were to be seen everywhere. In the kitchen, the cooking utensils were piled up in disorderly heap* and punctured through and through by the electricity, while every joint of the building seemed to be wrenched apart. Large kettles In the kitchen were bored through as if by a steel projectile, and from one side of the house to the other passed an enormous bolt which, measured by the hole tt made, must have been several Inches in diameter. The ledge ort which the house stands was struck by ths departing lightning, which cut a piece a* large as » washbowl out of the solid rock.
