The Treasury Department Receives a Letter From London Giving: Warning of Hags JJing Shipped From Infected Districts. WASiirjJGTO.-.ISept C The Treasury Department has received a letter to-day from Dr. Hill, United States health officer in London, asserting that the importation of rags into this country from Ea;land is fraught with great danger. Smallpox, he say., is, and has for some time, been prevalent in London, where quantities of rags are collected and shipped to America, and large quantitie? cf continental rags are forwarded to London for shipment to American ports. Thee raus undergo no process of disinfection previous to exportatioo, and are very likely agents to convey the infection of cholera or smallpox if collected in infected localises, Twentytnree tales of ras were recently shipped to New York by the Lydian Monarch upon the representation that they had not been colIf eted in ar.y infected district, but investiTUtoa tbowed that they came from Dunkirk. France, where the cholera has just broken out. Lire quantities of continental ray? are now belnj forwarded to America from dangerous ports. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. At the Elmira (N. Y.)

I am well acquainted with I'eter Yoorhees. having lived neighbor to Lira for six years ia Illinois, aai I knew this was a lie, and so denounced it here at Mr. Yoorhees old homestead. I wrote h'.m a letter about this report, and have this day received his reply, a copy of whisa I inclose. If you think it worth publishing you are at liberty to do so. Yours respectfully, Leo sard Butts. Mr. Voorliees Letter. AuGisr 30, ISil. Mr. L. Halts: The statement in the West Lebanon Gazette, in regard to my political change, is a Ilepnblican campaign lie. The author dare not give his came. The Gazette shall give their author of the slander. The Democratic party in Newell Township is on the gain. I can give the name3 of republicans that will not vote for Blaine. I think I will be in Yeedersbur in a few days, and will see you. Respectfully yours, Peter Vooruees. Governor Cleveland at Elmira. Ei.miba, N. Y., Sept 8. This is a gala day for Elmira. It is estimated that there are öGu0 people on the Fair-grounds. Governor Citveland. accompanied by Private Secretary Colonel Dan Lamont and Adjutant General Farnsworth, arrived this morning. At the Governor's special request no demonstration was made at that hour aside from a salute of twenty-one guns by the Cleveland Lattery. The party was met at the depot by Lieutenant Governor Hill, Mr. M. II. Arnold, and a number of prominent citizens. Governor Cleveland commenced speaking at 2:4"), and Epoke from a carriage in front of Manufacturers Ilall. and was introduced by the President of tbe fair. Immediately after Cleveland arose a great cheer went up from the outlet, 15,000 people shouting themselves hoarse. His remarks were listened to with great attention, and were often interrupted with cheers. even thousand men were in line to night in the parade in honor of Governor Cleveland. The procession wss turo hours in passing the reviewing stand. When the parade was dismissed the Governor entered his hotel and üeld an informal reception. In the course of the evening the Governor was presented with a banner bearing nis portrait, the head encircled bv four stars, typifying Sobriety, Justice, ilonesty and lieform. Behind the hills wa3 seen, just rising, tbe sun, labelled, "Victory." The Governor retired for the night. To-morrow he attends the funeral of Secretary Folger, at Geneva. Democratic Hopes. Nxw York, Sept. "i. Senators Gorman and Jonas, and B. B. Smalley were in charge of the Democratic National Headquarters today. State Senator James Pierce said: I have been spending some time in Maine.and I believe Rted will be beaten for Congress. I was surprised to find so many Republicans there against Elaine. The Llaine Ilepuolicans are, however, making desperate ellorts for a lar?e majority General Durbln Ward, of Ohio, said: "We Lave hot ts of Ohio. We have carried it in the last two October elections, and I see no evidence of detection. We have, on fortunately, oar own internal feuds and strifes la the State, but they are rather personal, and will not afleet the canvass. Of course, we have difficulty in carrying the State. We never have carried it in any Presidential contest for thirty years. We have not carried it twice in succession for twenty years until the last two year?. This fact gives me hope that the gain is permanent." Arpalling News From Labrador and Newfoundland. St. Johss. N. F., Sept. S. The latest Labrador news is appalling.

MR. HENDRICKS

Enthusiastically Received at Mnn clo by a Vast Assemblage. The 3Iot Enthusiastic Democratic Mass-Meeting Ever Held in Eastern Indiana. Gray and Hendrlca Loudly Cheered On Their Arrival Hendricks' Personal Popularity. He Briefly Reviews the Career of the Republican Party Since the War Colaed. A GALA DAY For the Democracy of Delaware County An Immense Crowd and Treineudous Enthusiasm Speech of Governor Ueudricks. Epeclal to the 8ent!nel. MrxciE, Ind.. Sept, 7. The greatest Democratic mass meeting everheld in Eastern Indiana was held in this city yesterday. Karly in the morning the streets were thronged with people, at least ninety per cent, of whom were enthusiastic supporters ot Cleveland and Hendricks. They came in lare delegations from- Madison, Jay, Grant and all adjoining counties. Wagons, drifen by from four to eight horses, loaded with la dies elegantly dressed and wearing Cleveland caps, came in from several points. Bands cf music and drum corpj were numerous, and added greatly to the enthusiasm of the day. At noon Governors Gray and Hendricks were met at the depot by several hundred people, and were escorted uptown, being cheered all atom; the line. Their speeches at the grove were listened to by 7,uC0 to 10,000 people, and were well received. Colonel I. B. McDonald was also present, and spoke to his comrades in arms in a most telling way. At night Governor Hendricks received his hosts of friends at the residence of Mr. Frank Leon. Whenever he was seen the people sent up a shout which 6howed the estimation in which he is held by them. ?IR. HENDRICKS' FTEECn. In the course of his speech Governor Hendricks said: It is now twenty-Eve years that the Republican party have controlled the administrative and executive affairs of tr.ls country, and It is of first importance that yon and I should consider the jueation whether tbat is not a.- long as one set of men ought to continue In absolute control. In other words, the question is before u. ought there not to be a change.' That is the first quostlon that 6tiites your attention and mine. IIow much has tianspired since the Republican party came into power, and I do not choose to include in that period the ;eriod of the war? I ask your attention only for the last nineteen year, darin? which that party has controlled the administrative and executive aflairs of the country. I csuld not find figures or words to express to you the enormous funis of money that nave been collected, and the enormous sums of mouey tbat have been paid out. I will refer, by way of illustration, brietly to one year, the last year as rep rted by the Secretary of the Treasury. Tbe collections and expenditures amounted to SG63,0t0.0OO. The history of tiicee transactions are found in many thousand volume, and they were recorded by many thousands of men. men belonging to one party only. No Democrats have been allowed to participate In any of the a Hairs of the coun'.ry. I speak in subnance. An occasional Deinocrat may have bea allowed an ofhee, but for great purposes in administering the anairs of the Government Democrats have been excluded, and to you men the question is presented now, "Ought there not to be a change ?" Who knows what is wrong in the looks? Should they be opened? Shall there be opportunity for we men to know what has been wrong in the records of the country, so that we may know whether it is well or ill with the country? THE MATTER ILLUSTRATED. May I ask your attention to another Illustration on tnls subject? I do not claim tbat one political party in first place in its Organization is probably any more honest than another. If we had nt political parties In this country, and we were Koing to establish two political parties, and were we to run a line through this crowd, aud men oa that tide were to be of one party and men on this side of the other party, the chances are that there would be just as many honest men on one side as on tbe other, and as many rogues on one side, perhaps, as on the other. But take another step in this thought. Suppose this party comes iuto power, and it becomes established that it is going to retain power for twenty years; have the control of offices, control of the money and of the country, don't you see teat all the rogues on this side would gradually come over aud join the strong side? U not that human nature? And more than that. Don't you know that as ttey came over they would eradually push honest men on this side, back and bacic, until they would take control of the dominant party themselves? To a very largo extent that would prove to be tbe human nature of the Case, without dittenssing the que-lion whether the Republican party has been guilty ot great fraud, fori leave that to your own reaction. I assume thit on theprourd that no putythat has been in power exclusively, not allowing tne other party to participate in the aOmrs of the Government for a long period of time. Then tbi-re ought to bo a change, that the people iray cou j to know, with iome degree of c"t -ity, how It i4 with their affairs. I cries of "We'll uave it this fail."i WOST TL'RN THEM ALL Ot T. I do not expect, gentlemen, that all the men now in face will be turned out. I don't desire tbat. When a Republican, governed by Ms conscience and convictions, has been In ollice and proven himself to be a true and honest man in the administration of that otlice. 1 do not ask that Le be turned out. but I sx tbat honeet men shall be placed in office, sufficiently numerous to give the people of this country information iu regard to their affairs. I have one step further to go in this argument. I am trying to establisn the proposition that there ought now to be a change. I do not know why the Republicans for the last nineteen years have said to every Democrat, "Vou ball bave no position in the control of tba afTaira of the Government." They have seen lit to occupy in that position a cruel prescriptive policy, excluding every man that did not ajrea with them, ml what do you think of it, tny countrymen ? btiail it be continued any longer T Ciies ot No."l THE TREASURY. To what condition have we come: Irefornow to tbe statement made by Mr. Calkins, Itepublioia candidate for Governor, in his speech at Richmond ft few weeks aco. He said we now have SltO.COO.COO in the Treasury. Do you know how be came to say tbat! tie said tbat by way of braggadocio; by way of taunt to tbe Democrats, lie fsid the Republican party, when it cane into power, found an empty Ireafiiry, and now It has StcO.OCO.OOO in the Treasury. Da you want to hear we express my opinion of what is a fortunate condition of the country 1 Well, it is not in bavin? a Treasury ovetllowing. It 1 not in collocLni from the people untold millions of money that It it may bo hid away in the vaults of the Treasury. At Washington, to dy, they are digging new vaults, and aJdlng to the ol 1 vaults, fo as to find room for putting away the people's currency. It Is a matter of wag war. Is it true that the Republicans have now in the Treasury flUO.OOO.OiOT And that, gentlemen, is onehalf of the paper currency of the couutry. There is locked up in tbe Treasury SlOO.ooo.iiOO. D; you d(iretbat? If so, vote for Mr. Calkins; voto for the Republican candidate, for President, for they boast to you that they haTe locked np $100,000,000 of your money. What rlsht haa a Government to use tltO 0OO.0C0 of tne people's money that it hs no occasion to use in the administration of its all's ire? What would be the etlect if taxes were reduced so that money would come back into your pockets and into the channels ;of trade? Don't you know that it would stimulate enterprise? Do you not know tbat it would give employment to laborers? Shall I stop now and speak of the present condition of our countiy ? THXM AND NOW. Four years ago. when you knew it was flusher times and everything was well with the people, wheat was worth 11.20, and labor was well paid,

end Republican orators came to you and said. "My countrymen, won't you let well enough alone? Are you willing to turn the party out that has brought you such prosperity, and put a party in that you do not know wnat will be the consequences? and to that appeal the people listened. How is it now? Are men employed? Are furnaces throwing out fire and smoke, that Indicate sue echini enterprise and industry ? I have here a clipping from an Indianapolis paper of yesterday, the Kvening News, perhaps the best editel paper of tbe Republican party in that city, tbe statement of the amount of the frilures that have recently taken place in the country. It is a dispatch from New York, and says that the business failures throughout the country for the last seven days, reoricd to R. O. Dun A: Co. and they are great authorities on tbat subject. The number for the t'nittd States, 19'J; Canada, 11; total, 213; as against a total of i'.'d last week, showing- an increase of seventeen failures this week over last week. In other words, it is 8 per cent, more for the week that ended yesterday than for .the week before that, an increase in failures of S per cent And how can it be .otherwise when there is this enormous portion of the people's currency locked up in vaults at tne Treasury? Send that money out more iuto the channels of trade and wheat won't tell at a begsins market for C2 cents, 72 cents and 73 ceuts a bushel. It is 50 cents a nushel lens to-day than it was when vou elected tne Republican candidate four years iio. who made James U. hlaine Secretary of State; and if you have your mortpaas to pay or the interest upon it, counting one buhel for one dolur, it will take a ßood many more bushels now to pay the interest on your mortgage debt than it did four years ago, and whc:i you come to pay your mortfage oil it ill iRke a good many more hundred bushels than it did a good while ago. Tney do cot say to you now as they did four years mo, "let well enough alone."' It is not weil enough. It is bad enough. SOMETHING WRflNi;, When you see men out of employment yo;i may knew there i trouble somewhere, iod wrote it in the early days for our race that by the sweat of his brow mn shall earn his bread. Bnt it did seem that there was coupled with that divine sentiment that perhaps a man should haveacnanc? to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, but it 1 not to now with all. There are some that can not get employment to earn t.'ieir bread. I hara understood that one of the establishments of tbis cay that cave employment not long since to lj hands is now closed down. Ihere is no employment there any more, ind so it is with the roi. 1:1,5 mill at Indianapolis, tbat formerly employed hundreds of men. It is as silent there nowasint'ie praveyaid aero.-s the way. The siimnlant of Int. r, the stimulant of enterprise, of life, ot activity, is lead. it is locked up in tne Nation's tr-a-iury, and the Democrats sa; hange the policy, reduce the taxation, and " make it easier upou th people, and the burden lightened. There are a few otner matters about which probably I oaht to speak to you this afternoon. Tne Republic!! have pretty much Riven you and me up. ty ordinary fellow-citizen, they do not expeet any mortj to ctrt votes of the natives of this country, tboe that were born here. Tiiey bave pretty Each given up our Ccman citizen; they havj pretty much siven up the swtdes and Danes. ao'I 1 believe, they have come down hard aud heavy upon our Irish fellow-citizcna. When they come to the conclusion that they can get tne Irish voters they are pretty mucli gone up themselves, ft tvi'I le pretty much of a disappointment when November comes around. Tbat la my prediction. I thii;k 1 know it is so in tne tei;TLborhood whera I live. Why, I said the oiher day at Conncrsv.lle that the irishman was a natural Democrat. That is pretty much the truth, i'or ICO years ho hi beta with the Democrats. He recollects the tim i when the alien law was pieced there in trie actministration of John Adams, and was takeu oflTby Thomas Jcficrson. He remembers the day when Know-Nothingism was rampant in this country, and that was tho Democratic party which ciia 3;pions free religion and foreipners' right to occupy our country along with tbe ret of us. 1 thin it is a baa day when the Republicans have to rdr on the Irish votes. Tho Irisn know waere tiiei'r friends tave teen ia the past SCCVEfS AS31T.EP. 'ow, my fellow-cltlzcn. I think I can say to you this afternoon that our cause will be successful this year. We bave a candidate for I'residont that has borne himself with distinguished credit and honor in Ihe hiph oilices which be lias hitherto filled, Lie has borne himsslf with great credit as Chiel Magistrate of thegrcate-t State in this U;ion. Substantial objection has not been made a5wast his adrainlttrittion. He is to-day supported by the ablest men of tbe Republican party. The ladependents of Xew York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and of Indiana say be is worthy their support. Ttey have many reasons for that sunoort. There are better assurances of gooi government, of American protection everywhere and nnlr all circumstance. If Governor Cleveland be tuade Frcfident instead of James Ci. Rlaine, and with tuch a support in addition to the tamest zeal of the Democracy in Javor of bis election, I can entert' no doubt of the result. A paper the other day found fault with me because, with my hat in my hand, 1 stood in the presence of my countrymen and asked of them their support, aud if they fail to Und any other Charte agaiiut me except that they may go to Halifax. ILanshtcr. As I have stated before I did not desire the nomination for Vice President eicht yeais aso; I did not desire it at Chicago when, with absolute v.ianimlty, it was conferred upon me; but now that I have been nominated and have accepted the nomination, 1 come before you, my fellow-citizens of Indiana, and say to you that my heart's earnest desire is to receive your support, 1 will le sJad to receive every Democrat's support. I will bo very proud of the support of my Renublicau friends, of my Greenback aud Independent friend?, and when it is all counted up I have a sort of impresMou, very ron& now, that it is going to be a decided majority in November. I do not l-elieve I have any doubt of Indiana. I do not think you tave. If the successor my party does not mean better government, cheaper government, a more economical administration of public atfalrs, 1 do not want to succeed. But upon my faith only, I have a right to ask you to try once more this patty. When it was in power before it was economical i:i its administration. It cost only a few million dollars in the admit Istration of Jeckstm, of J'ierce, and we have come to a pciioJ when young men cm not add it up.

TUE FIRE RECORD. A Terrible Conflagration at Cleveland-. Ten Acresof Lumber and Frame ItuUdiog on Fire at Once Help Telegraphed for to Yarioua Places. Clevelakd, O., Sept. 7. A great conflagration is raging on the flats. The entire lire department is in service, and telegrams have been Eent to Akron, Youngstown, Tainesville, Erie, Sandusky and Toledo for assistance. The origin of the fire is unknown. Incendiarism is suspected by some, but the most probable theory is that sparks from a tug set lire early in the evening to a pile of Shavings, from which flames spread until Woods, Terry fc Co.'s extensive lumber yard was ablaze. The fire continued to extend, defying all efforts of the firemen. The lumber yards of Totter, Birdsail Sz Co. and C. G. King it Co, were also consumed. A yßriety of iron worki are destroyed; Stanley's candle factory is burneJ, and part of Eherwin, Williams it Co.' s varnish works, and at 10 oclock the conflagration threatens to become still more extensive. About ten acres cf lumber aud frame buildings were aflame at one time, and huge cloudi of smoke, thickly studded with blazing cinders, were blown by the changing wind for miles, rausiDg intense excitement lest the myriads of sparks should kindle fires in every direction, and perhaps lay waste a large part of the city. The a-arm was turned in at G:50 o'clock by the night watchman, Jce Simmons, and Lis story throws no light on the cause of the lire. He said: Iliad just completed my rounds and arrived at the mill. I went, as usual, all over the ground on both, sides ot Carter street and along the river, and made sure there was no fire et anything else wrong in the yard. I went through the mill, and, after this, was going to sit down outside the door when I saw a bright tiame shcot up in the air right on the middle of the lumber piles between our vard and Mr. King's. It was in our No. 1 alley, and the moment I opened the door I ran for box 13, under the New York, Tennsylvania and Ohio bridge, on Carter street. Thea I came back, and the engiuts were here in a few moments.1 At 7:30 tbe fire was confined to an area20O feet square, and in the midst of this the flames were tavagely burning and sending out myraids of sparks and light pine torches. Slowly the fire

gained on the firemen, the sparks being carried over their heads by the wind, which had begun to rise, and would set fire to a small spot in the center of a pile of lumber, because of the height and the fierceness of the flame nothing could be done until the flame reached the end of that pile, when a stream would be directed that way. The lanes, or alleys, . were ao narrow that it was impossible to get a stream to play on any but the edges of the difierent sections of the lumber. The spot where the lire started wa3 built of green lumber, and put in from the Michigan pine woods, and though it wouldn't be expected to burn well, "the heat was so intense that tbe element ccntinued beyond the power of the department to control. By 8 o'clock it was in alleys 3 and 4, and as the area of burning wood became larger the men were forced to spread out, and less effective work could be done. At this time some firemen were in alleys almost completely surrounded by lire, and to keep them fiom burning tne stream of water was directed against them. Nearly every man was thus wet down, and only thus could they secure comfort At 8 :CU o'clock Carter street became impassable. The heat prevented any one from jroirg by the buildings, and only in some places could the firemen stand. The owner cf the Variety Iron Works had been on the roof of their large brick building for a half hour past, throwing water and guarding it, in hopes that the fire might be kept in bounds, and they ecare without loss. They succeeded in putting out the flames in several places which had caught from sparks, nntil the region cf their building became red-hot, and they were successful in their object; but at s o'clock the lumber in the yard of C. G. King caugh. fire frcm the east end of the Woods, Ierry Sz Co. yard, and loon the 4,000,000 feet in that yard v. ere iu a partial b!az?. The heat along tbat side cf the central way soon became too Intense for comfort, and despite the brisk westwind which had sprung up tha !Ume3 crept ud in a southerly direction and very nuickly reached tbe street. The Vanity Iron Works cought on thereof, and these llaaie3 were subdued after a short fight. At the s.tme time the wooden building of a good sized $Led, belonging to Woods, Terry 'c Co., west Of this shed, also caught on the front side from the heat cf the burning lumber just Opposite, and attention was directed to that. Then the firemen were called to the ironworks building, end at 9 o'clock both these tuildingä were burning, and the lire was under such headway that engines whi;rt coa'd b? kept in street were unable to cope w ith it. Much cause for delay was found in the water. It was dirty, and the engines would get closed. In this manner one of the engines, which had been throwing a stream on the southwest side of the yard, near the railroad, was forced to suspend work for a time, for repairs. At 1 o'clock the fire seems practically under control. Kelief engines arrived from Akron and Erie, and others are expected. Tbe entire militia of the city is ordered to be in readiness, if necessary, to do police duty, Lut have not yet been ordered out, o serious accidents are yet reported. The loss will aggregate from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000.

TOE MAINE ELECTION. The State Election in Maine, With the Retnrns as Far as Received. Poktlahd, Sept, 8. The citizens of Maine will to-day elect a Governor, four members of Congress, thirty-one State Senators, 151 Representatives and full boards of county officers. The gubernatorial vote in 1SS0 stood: Plaisted (Fusion), 73,713; Davis (Republican), 73,541; scattering, 545; total, 147,802. The Presidential vote stood: Garfield, 74,052; Hancock, C5,2U; Weaver. 440; Neal Dow, 16; scattering, 13:); total, 143.003; showing a Republican plurality of 8,811, against a minority of 109 in the gubernatorial election in September. The Presidential rate generally gains on the gubernatorial vote of the same year owing to the slackened exertions of the defeated party. Therefore, to the winners et the majoritv to-day may be added a fair increase for the Presidential majority in November. The vote of 1SS0 was the heaviest ever cast. Governor Robie has served one term; he is popular and of the highest character. John C Redman, the Democratic candidate, is a younger man, popular, everywhere respected, and there is no reason why each should not command a full party vote. Although the interest is in the Presidential contest, and outside comparisons will be made with 1880, the figures of the most recent vote, that of 1SS2, will be used for press comparisons in conformity with usual custom, in order to give the closest possible estimate of what the present year's vote will be. The election passed oir quietly. Augusta, B'ame's home, gives Rooie, Republican, 1,270; Redman, Democrat, 621; scattering, 42. In ISiO Davis, Republican, had 1,105; 1'iaisted, Fusion, 809.

Returns from all over the county show a Republican gain of 30J or 400. Poktlahd, Me., Sept 8. Sixteen towns in the First District show gains for Reed of 231 1 over 1880, Biddeford not included. A large loss is repotted there. Reed a plurality in 1880 was 117. The Republican Committee reports indicate that Reed will be re elected to Congress by a fair majority. Reports from Aroostook County give that county to the Republicans by an increased majority. The Lewiston Journal (Republican) gives

Robie 12,000 majority, and claims that all the Congressmen are elected. Portland, Me., Sept. 9.-12:25 a. m. The Republicans claim 10,000 plurality for Robie. The Democrats concede 12,000.

ANOTHER NATIONAL BANK ROBBED. The effect of the Wrecked Bank on the Town ia Crushing Tbe Wildest Excitement Prevail. New BnrsswicK, X. J., Sept. 8. Mahlon Runyon, president of the National Bank, cut his throat in the water-closet of the bank. He was implicated in Cashier Hill's thieving. Great excitement exists. The bank was compelled to suspend payment on Saturday evening, although at that time Runyon declared he had enough assets to pay all demands, and several of tbe directors sent to New York for the cash to tide over the crash. M. C. Martin, one of the directors, said: "The deficiency left by Cashier nill is about ?2G0,000. Mr. Hill was the trustee of two estates, and had 200,000 of securities belonging to one estate, and over $50,000 belonging to another in boxes. The President's box is empty, and so is that of the big estate. There is another half a million gone. The President admits that he was speculating too. I believe that he and Hill were together." The excitement over the double suicide of the President and Cashier of the National Bank of New Jersey has become intense. A statement furnished by those officials in June of the current year showed: raid up capital, $250,000; surplus, $125,000; undivided profits. 78, ISO. There has been nothing in the public history of the bank siuce that date to cause any uneasiness to stockholders. The suicide of President Runyon, while strengthening tne testimody of giant frauds in the management, causes unbounded astnnishment to the general public President Runyon was a farmer sixty years old. He leaves a wife and four children. He had been President of the bank for five years. Runyon was not generally regarded much of a financier, the late Cashier, Hill, being considered as running the institution pretty much in his own way. Tbe National Bank is in chaos. Over a million dollars have been stolen by Hill. Mahlon Runyon, the President, implicated in the thefts of Hill, expected to be arrested when he took his leave. The city is wild. Crowds blockade Church street where the bank stands. Acting Cashier Campbell Is expected to be arrested for complicity in tbe conspiracy. Millionaires are trembling, and more than two suicides are predicted. The mob threatens to burst open the bank, and was subdued by the police. Walter Carroll, a depositor, cut his throat on account of his losses. Martin A. Howell, who withdrew as a director years ago, said: "I saw it coming. Charley Hill was too liberal. The Republican party went to him as- their banker for funds. He doubtless took the bank surplus to aid his friends. Knowing the condition of affairs I quietly withdrew." The eCect on the town is crushing. The wildest excitement prevails. Streets are thronged with country depositors. Fears of a raid on tbe bank are increasing. Hundreds of special police have been sworn in by the Mayor to surround the bank property. The Coroner's jury in the case of Mahlon Runyon's death returned a verdict of wilful suicide. Acting Cashier Campbell was seen. "What do you know?" the reporter asked. "I aoa amazed and horrified over the affair. My heart's blood might have been spilt for Charley, but when I see what is about to occur the fall of the whole institution my heart bleeds; but," he added, "I am innocent. Hill was never my confident, although I undertook some of his greatest missionsJ as messenger from Hall, Garten it Co., to New "1 ork. I have taken money for investment to them. Don't know the result. I have had fears of the present result for six months, bnt kept my mouth closed. I feared expulsion by tbe directors." Jcsepa Fisher, Sr., custodian cf the Yoorhees estate, refused to divulge why he had not signed the release proffered by Hill, when the sale of bonds might have been effected. "No, sir," he said; ''I am not such a rascal as to take landed estate from tne Yoorhees boy?, and you will find me always on the side of the weak." This Week's Failures. New York, Sept. 5.

AXOTITEK LIAR.

A Sample Correspondent of a Republican Organ. Westfield, Ind., Sept. 4.I notice in yesterday's Journal the following from this place. I give it entire, and it speaks for itself: Westfield, Ind. Sept. 3. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Major Calkins and Senator Spann at this place last night. It was a meeting got up in one day, and everybody was surprised to see so large a crowd. There must have been fully l,20o voters, besides ladies and children, on the streets of the village and at the meeting. Senator Spann made a most eloquent address, which was loudly applauded at various points. Major Calkins spoke for about twenty minutes. The Democrats had a meeting appointed for the same hour, but did not hold it, for the reason, as they said, they did not want to interfere with the Calkins meeting, but the true reason was that there was nobody but Wat Rvans and Frank Trissell, of Noblesville. to listen to their speaker, Hon. T. B. Waid. I Lave analyzed the above article carefully and can not find a single sentence that borders on the truth. The as3ertion that there were 1,200 voters present, and that Judgo Wand did not speak, and that no one was there to hear him except Wat Evans and Frank Trissal, is about as near the truth ay Tom Lindley, Dock Pettijohn and Joe Gray ever get. The facts are Judge Wand did speak for one hour and twenty minutes to an audience of about 200 people, who were very attentive and who preserved the most perfect order. If I am not sadly mistaken his speech, together with the gentlemanly behavior of the Democrats, when contrasted with tbe bombast and abuse emitted by Mr. Spann and Calkins, and the intolerance shown by a lev of the Republican manager?, has male an impression on a lare number of the fairminded Republicans that will not soon be forgotten, lNPr.rE.vpr.XT Reitixicax, TAMMANY. The Tammany Committee on Organization Hold a Meeting, at Which John Kelly Freeddes. New York, Sept. 8. The Tammany Hall Committee on Organization met to-night. John Kelly presided. The front steps and entrance to the hall wjre blocked by people long before S o'clock. The first business of the meeting was the reports of the district representatives. All reported the voters ready to stand by the decision cf the organization whatever that might be. Then General fc'pinota offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That it te referred to a committee of one from each assembly district, to which tho Chairmen of this committee be aaded, to prepare an address and resolutions to be presented to the General Committee lor its consideration, at a meeting to be held on .Friday next, and tbat such, address and resolutions shall explain and dehne the position of this organization toward the State and Nation upon the political questions now btiore tbe country as well as upoa tuZ action and results of the late Chicago Convention, and that all motions and resolution?, in any way alluding to the action of raid convention or its caudidates', hall be referred to said committee without debate. The resolution was received with applause. Ex-Senator Grady was loudly called for. As he arose he was loudly cheered. He said: "I rise principally for the purpose of saying to you that I have taken no side in snpport of or against any candidate, nor will I take side nntil Tammany Hall, in its meeting of the General Committee, has spoken. Applause. I am involved in no deal, nor am I engaged in transferring any vote other thanmyown. I never was in the market in a political campaign, and I don't propose to go in now." The resolution was unanimously adopted, and a committee composed of the district leaders appointed, and the meeting adjourned. o - SUING FOR A DIVORCE. A Husband's Surprising Discovery After an Absence of Three Tears Ealtimore (Ud.) Special: Suit was instituted in the Circuit Court today by Dr. W. Perry, of the United States Navy, against his wife, Margaret Sophie Ferry, for absolute divorce. The bill of complaint disclosed a sad story. The ceuple were married, in this city in 1878, and for some time their married lite was a happy one. The complainant being in the service of the United States, the 31st of August, 1SS1, he joined the flagship Richmond, Mid was continuously absent from his wife and family ia foreign lands nntil his return in August, 1884. Prior to his departure two chiidrea were born to them.

Spencer, a prominent attorney and influential citizen of this place, who has been actiDgwith the Republican party heretofore, comes out for Cleveland aud Hendricks. The following letter to Mr. Jo F.

Colvmbvs, Sept C, 1SSL Mr. Jojcph Gent, Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, ol Bartholomew County: Dear Sir The people of this country are now engaged in a great conflict for the election of a President of the United States.
