ST. PAUL'S GREETING.

Thi Prsicr.tixl Fxrty Hue & Pieisint Jcurrej Frnnllidisss. Mr. Clivelnd Tttaki St. Pri People For Hot Spoilt His Wife in Youth. The City Cr&nt dad With Visitors luiions to 8 tbs Nation's Executive. Ibe Formal Welcome Conducted to the Hotel The President's Apartments The Evening Reception, St. Paul, October 10. The special train containing the President, Mrs. Cleveland, the Postmaster-General and his wife, and the gentlemen composing the party which left Washington with the President, reached St Ftul exactly on time, at half-past five this evening, having left Madison, "Wis., at 9 o'clock thi3 morning, The run from Madison was, perhaps, the most enjoyable day's journey the party has experienced titce its departure from Washington. All had bt en thoroughly reated during the stay at Madison, and were in the best of health andipirits. The weather for the greater part of the day was as fine as if ordered oa purpose, and tho region through which the travellers passed Is cue of the pleasantest eections of the Northwest. The foliage at thia season is comparable to nothing so well u tss gTeat Persian rug or a gaudy Pavajo blsniet, eo bright are the colors and so vivid the contraatj. Nor were the wilder aspects of i ature wanting in the panorama. Huge pieces and queer necks of rock reared their jagced heads from the plains of Western Wisconsin, their brow spread out in gold and purple, their fronts grey and f rownic g above above the tree tops. Along the Mississippi tnld bluffs pushed the stream to one side or, the other, and now and tfcen attention was called to some pointed or castellated formation like nothing in art and nothing else in nature. The people along the lice, and at the smaller stations were much less demonstrative than those of the regions passed through earlier in th? trip. They gathered at maty points in little knots of from fifty to three or four hundred, on the platforms, swung their hats and handkerchiefs, but with few exceptions made no attempts at decoration, and seemed intent only upon satisfying their desire to see the President, in which purpose cone were disappointed. At La Crosse where the train tarried twenty minutes there was a little gem of a demostration, which was highly praised by its recipients. Though there were ten thousand people at the station with twice as many more lining the etreet3 of the town, and though their entire enthusiasm was of the liveliest kind, there was neither crowding nor haste. Rich carpets covered the platlonn fcr a hundred feet between the train ind the carrisgsa and a wide avenue, into which none but the receiving delegation penetrated, was left open for the visitor?. The bells of the town rang merry peals vnd the Eteam whistles of milla and steamboats screeched their wildest, but from the moment Mayor Anstin took the President's hand and welcomed him, to that when he expressed the wish that he might have made a longer stop, the utmost order prevailed. At Fortnge, New Lisbon, Sparta and Lake City where five minute stops were made, handshaking took place, of the now familiar character, yet with a difference. The lcok of excitement almost as intense as that of men in battle was missing. The leople jcsiled and crowded, but they laughed as they did eo. The interview was with them not to evidently one of business as of pleasure. Not a tenth of the numbers gathered had a chance to shake the hand of the President, but their cheers as the train pulled away were none the less hearty. Just north of Wirona a throng of workmen were gathered, anions cn horseback rode no to the flow moving train to present to Mrs. Cleveland with their compliments a hand Eome bouquet. He reached it out and thought it safe in her hand, but unluck ly It was not and fell to the ground. The mounted man was embarrassed for a moment, hut an athletic fellow fron among the workmen leaped a ditch and picked up the Cowers, none the worse for their fall, and amid the wüdeat hurrahs of his companions, delivered them. lie will remember the lady's smile as long as he lives. The special schedule time of the train to-day was considerably faster than any heretofore. TEX CKOWD IH ST. TAÜL. Flying clouds and a frosty air ushered in the day for which St. Paul has been preparing with eager expectation for a month past. Towards the middle of the afternoon the sun came out and the weather moderated somewhat, but is still to-night dejcidediy bracing. The crowd is unparalleled in the eity's history, and the oldest inhabitant recalls the Villard expedition, the Garfield obsequies and the winter carnivals in vain to remember its like. With J1 the regular train3 packed, twenty long peciaJs and the contingent that came yesterday a conservative estimate places the number of strangers in the city at .50,000, which added to the resident population of thrice that number, makes tedestri&nism attended with difficulties. But it is a good natured and courteous crowd, eager to sea but patient to wait, while the excellent police arrangements prevented any delay of the President's movements throughout. A large contingent aahered at the Union Depot long before 5:30, and s few minutes before that hour the carriages containing the reception committee drove op. Among .them were Colonel Kerr, Aldermen Collen, Dowlas, Sanborn, Hamm and Bryant, Congressman Rice and P. H. Kelly. Passitg through the throng of people the reception committee walked forward to the depot platform where a passage was preserved np the center. Kliding down the track came the Presidential train, the engine front gaily decorated with flags and bung with colored 'drapery in graceful lea toons. The reception eommitte boarded the end of the car, and the open door revealed the President and Mr. Cleveland standing in the parlor beneath the electric lignt. The small apartment was hung aroanl with featoons of flowers and green wreaths. 1. II. Kelly was the first to greet the visitors, and he ia torn introduced the rest of tha committee, each belog received with a shake of the hand and a pleasant smile rem the Presidential pair. The brief ceremony over, Congressman PJce assisted Mrs. Cleveland to light, and Col. Kerr stepped to the platform with the President. Then escorted on one side by Col. Kerr and on the other by Jndgw Flandrean th Prem dent jXOCttded dowa the platform, Mja, Cleve

land following on the arm of Congressman Rice. The band of the Twenty-fifth Infantry stationed on the roof of the station and commenced playing. As Mrs Cleveland walked down, three little girls Miss Esther Kelly, Miss Msguire and Miss Barclay, stepped forward and presented her with three loveiy bouquta of pink rcses. The President, Col. Lamont, and Col. Kerr got into the first carriage; Mrs. Cleveland and Congressman Kice in the Eecond, and the committee and press representatives in tiw remaining vehicles. The President's carnage was drawn by four white horses. The first battery M. N, O., stationed near by, began the Presidential salute as the party emerged from the station and the cheering was almost continuous. Taeprocesiion moved up Third to Jackson. Here the streets were literally jammed with a surging multitude of humanity, which surged after tne carriages like great waves. Every window, every balcony, and even the tops of buildings were thronged with people, who caught up the cheers from below as the procession moved by. At the Byan Hotel a mass of people curi

ous to catch a glimpEe of the President thronged the streets, and as his carriage moved up a shout went up that fairly made the air ring. The President alighted and was escorted into the hotel. Escorted to the handsomely decorated parlors of the hotel, the President and his party were introduced to Mayor Smith, who delivered a very brief speech of welcome saying: 'Less than thirty-four years sjo a portion ot this queenly city, to whose hospitalities we now welcome you in behalf of its citizens, was occupied by the red men, now covered by churches, school houses, mansions of the wealthy, cottages of the poor, workshops, manufactories, and all the evidences of modern civilization. TEE FEESIDEKT'S SrEECH. The President delivered his response in a strong, clear voice, as follows: "I was reminded by the invitation which I received to visit the State of Minnesota and the city cf Saint Paul, that a distinguished statesman visiting here in 18C0, spoke of this place as the center of the continent of North America, and stated his belief that the ultimate last seat of government of this great continent would be found some where not far from the spot on which. he stood, at?tbe head of navigation of the Mississippi river. At the time of Mr. Seward's visit the population of yonr State was 172,000 and that of St. Paul, its capital city, 10,000. What shall I say, who, after twenty-seven years have pa sed, find here a State containing nearly a million and a half of inhabitants and its capital with a population nearly as great as that of the State itself in 18W. And while one is considering this immense growth, he is actually amazed by the fact that sixty per cent, or more of the population of the State has been added within the last five years, and that the population of St Paul has more than trebled within the same time. "Whether you are to have here the seat of government of this great continent or not, I do not know. These of us who are enraged in the business of the government at Washington are certainly not at present preparing to move here. Put the seat of those things which control the government and make it great, is fast moving this way. The center of the country's population ia rapidly moving Westward, and the increase of the wealth and products of this wonderful region are more than keeping pace with the movement in your direction of the Nation 'a population. "The marvelous ciiy of St. Paul, scorning the ordinary steps by which cities reaeh the lead, and springing almost at once to prominence and greatness, her people established a trade, as if by magic, immense in its volume and constantly increasing; erecting without fear or hesitation bnsiners blocks rivaling in expense and splendor those of the largest and oldest of our cities,exhibits possibilities and achievements ia which every American citizen can claim a share of pride and satisfaction. "All this has been accomplished by our fellow citizens ubon American toil and under the impetus and encouragement of American institutions and laws. Your state, with all the energy and enterprise of its inhabitants in the direction of business and the development of its material resources, baa lot overlooked those things which create and foster valuable citizenship. Its common schools and other institutions for the education of the people are numerous and abundantly sustained, while the improvement of neglected and dependent children is especially provided ior by law. In the maintenance and support of its charitable institutions, Minnesota is quite abreast of the older States, and illustrates the benevolence and care of the American people for their pocr and unfortunate. "My visit to 3 on being a social one, and trusting that we have a sort of friendly feeling for each other, I want to suggest to you a reason why I am particularly and personally interested in Saint Pan 1 and its people. Some years ago a young girl dwelt among you, and went to school. Ehe has grown up to be a woman and Is now my wife. If any one thinks a President ought not to mention things cf thia sort In public I hope he or she does not live in St. Paul, for I don't want to shock anybody when I thank the good people of this city because they neither married nor spoiled my wife, Laughter and applause. "Hereafter you may be sure that her pleasant recollection of school days will be re-enforced by the no less pleasant memory of our present visit, and thus will our joint interest In St. Paul and its kind citizens be increased and perpetuated." If Although the President and party had dinner on their car, another dinner was waiting for them in a private dining-room to which they were now escorted. They were then taken to their rooms to rest and prepare for the events of the evening. Parlors A and B were prepared for tha President and Mrs. Cleveland. Parlor A was fitted tip aa a chamber. The top of the dressing case was covered with potted plants and streamers of trailax fell at the sides. A brass bedstead with gorgeous canopy and an antique oak set of costly pattern and design, with full length mirror, completed the furniture. Parlor B is the receiving or sitting room. It is hand' somely furnished in antique oak. Begonias and tropical plants occupy places on the window sills and the eat lowers are distributed about in all the places capable of holding them. A Wilton carpet covers the floor. An etching of a happy couple strolling through a beautiful vale stands on an easel in one corner of the room. TBI PROCISSIOX. At 7:45 the Presidential party again took their carriages and were driven about the illuminated and crowded streets, down Jackson to Third, where the Toboggan and Snow Shoe Clubs were drawn up In line o? either side of the street, and backed up by the general crowd, and arched over by myriad spans of colored lights, made a triumphal sway, up which the carriages dashed amid contiuous cheering. Tne display of banting was profuse, bat the beautiful vista of colored lights obscured evr tj other splendor. 4. Bridge's square

the President and party mounted the reViewing stand, and the procession passed before him. The Tobogganers, to the number of 1,500, were yelling their club calls. The most notable exhibit was that made by the Windsor toboggan club, the oldest organization of the kind in the city, which turned out eome 200 strong; its forty or fifty lady members being borne on a beautiful float In radiant banks of loveliness. The scene from the reviewing stand as the procession marched up Third street and turned into Wabash was most inspiring, a rea of faces and brilliant colored costumes glowing In the myriad of lights, while in front of the President was a huge arch with the legend "Hail to the Chief," written in electric lines of tire. On returning to the hotel the general reception to the public began. The President and Mrs. Cleveland were surrounded by the reception committee and their wives, all In full dreFS and wearing the badges of thtir office. Thein traductions were made by Col. RockwelL The first comers were the members of the Windsor and the Nushira toboggan clubs, the two organizations whose lady members were among the paraders. The were followed by General Roger and staff, in full uniform.from Fort Srelline. and these in turn by the

members cf the Militär Order of the Loval Leeicn. Gen. John P. ilea, com mander-in- Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was among the callers. General Pea, it is understood, will ride in a carriage with the President to-morrow. Then came the miscellaneous public They passed in review at the rate of about a hundred a minute for two hours, having an oppor tunity to see a President at close quarters but not to shake his hand. To-morrow the i party will be taken for a drive about the city leaving for Minneapolis at noon. EXCEPTION AT MIKKEAP0LI8. Minneapolis, October 10. President Cleveland and party will arrive in the city at 12:25 p. m. to-morrow. The excessive inconvenience occasioned the President by the public receptions elsewhere has led the local committee to make arrangements to omit that ceremony from the entertain ment programme. A reception com mittee, consisting of Mayor A. A. Ames, Hon. W. D. Washburn, Commsnder-m Chief J. P. Rea, Hon. A. T. Ankeny and Hon. Seagrave Smith will meet the party at the depot and all will pro:eed in carriages, with mil itary escort, to the West Hotel. Lunch will be served in private apartments at 1:30 and at 3 the party will start on a long drive through the city with a mounted 03 cort of twenty men. Ke turn i Dir to the hotel the carriages will be joined by a mil itary escort end proceed to the exposition, where Mayor Ames will make a short speech and the President will respond After viewing the exposition and taking supper at the hotel, the party will be es corted to the depot and leave for Omaha at 8 0 clock. The Fidelity Bank Cash. CrsciirsATi, October 10. It is understood that Ammi Bald winy late cashier of the defunct Fidelity Bank, has made statement of affairs ia the institution, which gives an inside view. It begins with giving some news regarding the condition of the Third National Bank, in which Baldwin was cashier. In 1S31. he says. Handy. Harper, and others were ennured in the big wheat deal at Chicago, and one me.it found the bank with only $1,600 in cash on hand. Some of the directors went to Chicago that night, and by 11 a. m. the next day bad telegraphed $375,000 to the bank and saved it. The other directors never anew until now how near their bank was wrecked. Baldwin's brother, also In that bank, embezzled $18,000. Ammi cov ered it up for him, he Bays, with the help of Harper and others, and then got into Harpers hands. When the latter founded the Fidelity, he took Baldwin along with him. The Fidel ity was run on wind and by the one-man power of Harper alone, who knew all the details of the business and kept all the se crets of the business, save such as he shared with Miss Josie Holmes, the exchange clerk. Harper was bound to keep the stock of the bank up, and at the premium bought every bodys stock: who wanted to sell. Baldwin was sick and absent for a few weeks, and on his return found Harper had at sumed the duties of cashier, and continued to do so on the plea of relieving Baldwin of his work. Harper had balances ot $1CO.POO or so on hand nearly all the time. The money seems now to have come mostly from hypothecating the banks stock and from the discounting of accom roodation paper, yet so adroitly was it all done that Baldwin did not suspect the true state of anairs until the crash came. He had often heard Ben Hopkins the assistant cashier, say that Harper must be worth at least gö.iiAUUQ. Trafficking or Frcuch Decorations. Paris, October 10. Gen. Ferron, Minis ter of war, opened the Lycee at Chartres, yesterday. He delivered an address in which he said that the manufacture of the new rifles for the army was being carried on with undiminished vigor. He referred to the Ca Car el affair and said: "Yon need not anticipate from me the slightest weakness in dealing with faults aerainst honor and discipline. The higher the mili tary position of the guilty parties, the more teverely I shall deal with them. The errors of one man do not stain the honor of the whole army. Keep Intact the con sideration and esteem in which yon hold it." In the house of Mme Limonsin, who has been arrested in connection with the Caffarel case, there were discovered about 300 letters to M. Wilson and others from M. Herbette. Gen. Thibaudin and Gen. Boulanger. It is believed that if the gov ernment had known the extent of the scandal, Gen. Catfarel would not have been arrested, Baron Kieitmayer, the German implicated in the affair, was ostensibly a horse dealer. It Is suspected that he and Mme Limonsin obtained and translated military papers for Germany. Madame Ratazzl has been arrested on charge of being implicated in the Caffarel affair. It is semiofficially denied that Wilson Is involved in the scandal. A tradesman named Bayle, a gentleman named Levallois Perret and Madame Conrtenil have also been arrested. Many incriminating documents were found in their houses. MtwYwk Pi inters' Troubles. Naw Yoek, October 10. Seven of the book and job printing bosses to whom the new scale of wages was pi esented to-day, consented to the scale with the exception of the clans relating to strict card offices. These are T. J. Devinne, Traw's Directory, Putnam it Son, the Churchman, Middle dichs, Tyrrell's and Smith & McDougalla. The men employed in these shops struck this afternoon. Five hundred men left work. The Master Printers' Association met this afternoon, and representatives of fifty of the largest houses in the city were present. It was resolved that the demand to make houses strictly union offices, could not be granted. The decision involves the throwing of 2,500 compositors out of employment. There are 1,000 pressmen employed in the establishments involved and they are in sympathy with the compositors and will go out too. The newspaper offices all icceaed to the demands of the compositors except the Catholic News acd Churchman,

NO LABOR PARTY YET.

Powdirly Opposed to Party Orgaimticn for Sems Time ta Come. in Anarchist Resolution Creates Cccsiderabla Excitement Ruled Out of Order After a Hot Speech by Fowtlerly An .Appeal Taken and De. feated Minor Hatters. MrsKixroLis, October 10. An expression of opinion on the advisability of the Labor party movement, was obtained from a large number of Knights of Labor to-iay. The result of these interviews shows that the general cmcers and more conservative element in the Order as a rule regarl the time as not yet ripe for a separate party movement, while the rack and hie ant the more radical of the officers, like Thomas Barry, of Michigan, are eager for a labor party, the sooner the better. Powderly ia the general choice for President, .but only a few have any idea that he would accept a nomination. George is mentioned fewer times than most people would have expected. A remarkably lare rumber of those interviewed are Republicans, or were Republicans before affiliating wiA the in dependent movement. There are only three or four Democrats In the to tire list. The labor vote in the whole cauntry a year hence is put all the way itoa. 500.0 )0 to 1.0C0.C0O, Opinion Is about evenly divided aa to the effect on the old parties )f a heavy labor vote, the idea perheps prevailing that the Democrats would suffer most by it. It ia the most unanimous sentiment that the George movement in New York this fall will defeat the Democrats if it is not itself successful. Mr. Powderly declined to talk, but from members of the executive board it ia learned that he is opposed to a separate party movement for a pood while yet. He believes that the workiagmen are not ready lor it. ANARCHY DISCVSSIOJT. There was only one cession of the Knights of Labor General Assembly to-day vvben that was called to order at 2 o'clock p. m. It was found that the committees, for whose accommodation the long recess was taken, were not yet ready to report. They were grantel further time and tho convention taking up mis cellaneous business an opportanity was presented for bringing up the long looked for Anarchy discussion. James F. Quinn, of District Assembly 4), of New York, the lamous "kicker" and Home Clcb man, pre eented the following resolution under bus pension of the rules: Considering that the development of the hu man mind in the nintteent' century has reached a point expressing almost universally gainst capital punishment or taking of human lite by judicial process as a relic of barbarism, uereiore De u Etsolved. That this convention express sor row that the men in Chicago were doomed to death, and that it use every endeavor to secure the commutation ol the sentence of death passed vyon mem. The convention was at once thrown into the wildest excitement, scores of the dele gates trying at the same time to obtain the llcor. General Master Workman Powderly oecicea the resolution out 01 order. Jo eph Evans, of Pittsburg, appealed from the dtcision. The appeal was lost by a .vote of 151 to 52. Before the appeal was taken. Mr. Powderly called Grand Worthy Fore man Griiliths, of Chicsgo, to the chair and in a short but vehement speech called upon the convention to defeat the reso'.a tion. He said no true Knight could be an Anarchist He appealed to the delegates In impassioned words not to pervert the t urpoEes of the Order by the passage of any such resolutions. It was tho hottest speech Powderly was ever known to make. Quinn, who offered the resolution, voted aje on the appeal in order to move a reconsideration. T. H. La wry, of Pennsylvania, also made a warm speech, and was followed by a number of others. This was the principal episode of a rather quiet day. Just after the call to order at 2 o'clock, resolutions on the death of B. S. Heath, the Chicago editor, who was Iod? associated with Thomas A. Armstrong, of Pennsylvania, were adopted. The general executive board held secret session in the West hotel whicv i -. Aei all the forenoon. The general ion among the delegates to-day is that no serious f ght will come up cow before the convention closes Its work, A sharp discussion is likely to occur over the Jaw governing the national trade districts, it is said that tie trade districts delegates will ask that the law be changed materially eo aa to give than more power. This request will be- onpsed, and very strongly, too, by the delegates representing the mixed districts, as the demands of the former would, in a measure, tend to utterly destroy the power of the latter. The fight, that it was supposed would be made against Powderly and the other general officers, is said to have been given up. A prominent Eastern delegate said on this matter this morning : "The delegates who came here to fight Powderly and some of the other general officers, have pulled in their horns. The fact that they oould find nothing to bafe a light on has greatly demoralized them. They will not now demand that the convention do as they ask on various legislative matters, but will, instead, request that they get what they atk without a fight." Irish Affair. Dmiic, October 10. Several of the sup pressed branches of the League in Cork county, held meetings, yesterday without the knowledge of the polico. At a meeting at Maccroom there were constables present but they did not interfere. Several secret meetings were held in the Mitchellstown district At Ballygiblin, a meeting was held in open defience of the law, and father Sexton, in speech, defied the government to intimidate people in honest and open combination. Afgr. Perslco, the papal delegate to Ireland, in a termon delivered in this city jeiterday, said that he was gratified at the devotion of the Irish to the Pope. Their devotion was manifested throughout all Ireland, Including Ulster, lie stated that he was grieved at the poverty which existed in the West of Ireland but rejoiced that in other parts of the country such an unhappy state of affairs did not'exist ODciujit, Octooer 10. The Coroner's inquest in the case of Lonerganland others, killed in the affray between the police and people at Mitchellstown, was continued today. During the proceedings there was a violent scene between Harrington and Crown Council Murphy, Condon, M. P., becoming excited, jumped Into the body of the court, threatening to chaste jaoxphy,

and spat at him. A mob of spectators yelled in approval. Finally the Coroner

interfered, and the tumult was quelled. Afteiward, Condon, on being examined, declared that the police at the Meeting square persisted In irritating the people in order to provoke a row. He saw them using batons before the riot began. Lokdok, October 10. Gladstone, Earl ßpencer, Morleyand Lord Raseberry are at Hawarden, where they will hold a conference with other Liberal leaders to-mor-row. It is believed that they will consider an important pronanciamento which, it is said, will be made at the Nottirgham meeting next week, as well as the Epeech to be delivered by Mr. Gladstone at that meeting. The Liberal Unionists will hold a meeting in London, Monday, Lord Hartington presiding, when the Government's failure iu Ireland Kill be considered. It is expected that a Cabinet council will be held at the end of next week. The con sensua of opinion is that a crisis will arise before the end of the month, which will force a modification of the cabinet Jcseph Chamberlain and Jesse Collings departed from Birmingham to-day on an Irish tour. Large numbers of friends and followers gathered at the station to see tfcemcf There was much handshaking and applause. Both gentlemen made brief speeches in which they referred to the claims of the minority ia Ireland. Los vos, October 10. An immense meeting under the auspices of the League was held Sunday at the confluence of the Sair and Barrew rivers, Ireland. The was covered with boats and barges bearing the participants to the meeting. The usual resolutions, denouncing the course of the Government in Ireland, were adopteJ. Tha police were completely outwitted, having no knowledge whatever of the meeting. DrtLiw, October 10. An immense meeting was held in the Round room to-day to protebt against the prosecutions directed by the government against the press, and Thomas Sexton, M. P., presided and Eevtral English journalists were present. Afttr an address by William O'Brien, M. P., Solutions were read declaring that the struggle for the freedom of the pres9 must be continued. The resolutions were carried amid great enthusiasm. A Heavy Express Bobbery, Little Rot k, Ark., October 10. A heavy robbery of the Pacific Express safe some where between Little Rock and Northern Texas, on the Iron Mountain road, occurred several days ago, but facta only developed in a qaiet way to-day. The robbed safe was one with a combination known only to agents at principal stations. A few days ego on reaching Texarkana with hiß! run, the m essen eer in charge of this had his waybills checked "O. K." He said he had to go to Dallas and eee the Superintendent about some claim. He went, returned, then went to St Louis, and thence over to Illinois. Down in Texas a couple of day s later the discovery was made of 1 he robbery. The amount is not exactly known, but it is estimated from thirty to sixty thousand dollars. The agent here couli cot tell but knew the sum was large. The name of the messenger, whose absence caused suspicion to arrest him, is J. B. Owens, one of the oldest, most trusted messengers in the service, and who recently delivered $150,000 safely. Since the discovery of the robbery detectives have been searching for Owens, hut thus far without success. The theory is that if he robbed the safe he was in collusion with come agent or clerk who knew the combination which is carefully kept from messengers, and which it is not believed he could have obtained otherwise. Arrested for Blackmailing. Clkvelakd, Ohio, October 10. Ruth Whitfield, nineteen years of age, and her aunt, Emma Whitfield, forty years ot age, who live at No. 42 Howlett etreet, were arrest d this afternoon on a charge of blackmailing preferred by Professor Albert A. MicbeiEon, of the Case School of Applied Science, and one of most widely known educators in Ohio. Ituth Whitfield, until within a few days, was a domestic in the family of Professor Michelson. Last Satnrcsy, the professor claims, the girl and her aunt visited him, and after charging him with having attempted liberties with Ilutb, they offered to settle the ailttir. Kutfi wanted $100 and hr sunt 25 as her share for refusing to xrcsp the Professor. Mr. Michelson pretended to accept the terms and invited them to call at his office in the Cass School Monday noon. The women were on hand at the appointed hour and two witnesses were situated conveniently near to hear the conversation between the Professor and his accusers. Alter the demands made on Saturday were repeated, Mr. Michelson stepped to the door and called to a detective and a patrolman who were ia waiting. The women were openly accused of blackmail and the officers took them to the Central Station, where they were locked up. The Fvr Scare in Florida. Jacksokvillk, October 10. A telegram from Dr. Wall, President of the Board of Health of Tampa, received to-night, says: The fever is still spreading. Six new cases and one death to-day. Several patients are in a critical conditon." Professional opinion that the disease is not yellow fever is not accepted by the board of health officers anywhere. Astonishment is felt here at the action of Superintendent Nash in ordering the mail route agents to go into Tampa. The following official statement was issued to-night: "Upon authority of the Hillsboro board of health and of by6icians ot Tampa, the Dural county oard is convinced that yellow fever prevails in Tampa. If, therefore, General Superintendent Nash persists in compelling his postal clerks to enter that city, and refuses to order fumigation of mails, the board will not allow such infected mail matter to be received within its jurisdiction, and will quarantine his clerks on the borders of the county." Signed : Neal Mitchell, M. D. President of Duval county Board of Health, A.Z liorribl CMC of Destitution. Nashville, Tenn., October 10. Sunday attention was called to a pitiable case of destitution and suffering on the banks of the river, a short distance from the city. The parties were a Mrs. Jane Smith, and her daughter-in-law, who had no home save the shelter of a large overhanging rock. Tom Smith, husband of tfce younger woman, came to the city and remained spending any money he may have had upon a woman who resides on College street. This evening the old lady died and was taben to the undertakers M. S. Combs & Company. The dead body, presented a most revolting appearance, only partially covered with rags reeking with filth and the bones in places actually protuding through the emaciated frame. Neglect and starvation was found to be the cause of ceath according to the testimony before the coroner's jury. The daughter was taken to the hospital where she has become a mother. Tom Smith, the degenerate son and husband, was committed to jail to await trial for vagrancy. Bar a Burned. Sbelbvvile, October 10. Special. The barn of John K.

national Interest lhe object of the convention is to decide upon ways and means of obtaining a channel way from the lower endcf Like Michigan to the Mississippi river of sufficient capacity to accommodate large ized Mississippi river boats; that the products of the country may be carried from the lake to the Gulf without breaking bulk, also to enable vessels of war of considerable capacity to pass freely from the Gulf of Mexico into the defenseless waters of the Northern lakes, should the exigercles of our foreigh relations ever require. This city has a double interest in the sc cce SB ot the scheme, as, if carried out it would not only increase the importance of the place as a shipping point but afford the city a main sewer big enough to discharge the sewerage matter collected here for all time to come.
