SUNDAY IN MADISON. Tba President asd Eis Wife Spsad tis Diy Qaietly at the Vilis Htniioa. Witeotsin'i Capita x Pretty Tuwii Well Adapted to Securing Rest, 1 Eesntial Location Not Yet Ucl ul at a Populw Slam Rw:rt. Beady for tbe Start for St. Faul La Cionae Scnra m Dispensation Begin. nlng of Another Week's Journey. MADisojr.Wia., Oct 9. The President and Mrs. Cleveland have remained in their quarters at the Vilas Manbion, resting in preparation lor tne iatigues 01 anotner week of journeying. It was expected that tbey would go to church this morning, and the Vilas pew in the Episcopal Church was reserved for them, but the heavy threatening sky and the raw chilly wind fresh from the lakes, the mud In the unpaved streets and the clouds of falling leaves from every tree top were forbidding, while the grate fires in their parlors were very tempting. They have seen no one except their fellowtraveiers and the members of the Vilas family, including the mother and brothers of the l'cstmaster General, who were invited to a family dinner with the President and Mrs. Cleveland at 4 o'clock. Tbey could not have been freer from iniennption at the White House or at Red Top than in Mad hon. A little group of a dozen or more individuals have been seen nearly all day in front of the Mansion waiting for a possible glimpse of them, but the towns people for the most part have respected their wish to be left in quiet. The house is well situated for the purposes cf seclusion and rest, Btandiag well back from the street, and being surrounded by an ample stretch of green sward, clean shaved and well shaded. Tne e tincture itself, though not a pretentious one, is a good tpecimen of tbe Villa of a dczen or tileen years ago, square shouldered end wide spreading, though rendered light end egreeable in outer appearancs by verandus, bay windows, and a conserve tcry of llowers. The town of Madison is a phenomenon m its way. It ii perhaps the only placs in all the broad West where its inhabitants admit tbat business is not "booming," and tbat things are quiet. Jts quietude is not that of stagnation by any means, but of rest and competency. It is the home of a class cf well-to-do conservative people who find tmotg these low rolling hills and beautiful fres-ii water lakes a choice retreat from the stir and bustle of the larger western centers, and who would not have a ' boom" if they could. In fact there is not rcom for much growth, for lakes hem the place in north and south, their shores beiog hardly a mile apart. Its thirteen or fourteen thousand inhabitants spread themselves over es mum area as three times their number would require ia a New Roglacd town, but they ara indispesed lor the most part to build closer tore'.he r, and would find themselves crowded" if i quired to do so. It la a beautiful spot, its streets opening vistas between lofty shade trees down to, and across tha cool bice waters to the purple aud yello ridges beyond, miles away. It sbo ws little other reason for existence than ths fact that it is the State capital and the location of the State University. It might be a popular summer resort, for its twin lakep, Mendota and Monona, have beauty spct3 upon every kaoll and projeation, and the younger generation are beccmirg resiles?, and whispering about "organization" for the purpose of securing a change, but the time has not yet come. Gray squirrels, monstrous fellows half as large as cats, and f ally as tame, play abont the etxeets, and no urchin or dog In all the place is so lost to a sense of the proprieties of life as to disturb them. With all this there is nothing provy or commonplace about Madison. Its State capitol, occupying the middle of a large open square, which forms a focus to Its 8 j stem of streets, is a creditable structure in the and architecture, and its university bail dings are commanding in form and situation.-Its inhabitants are up with the times in all that makes progressive citizens and good fellows. No approved "modern improvement" long waits a market here, and whatever contributes to make city life comfortable Is to ba foand in its hotels, stores and dwelling. Its hospitality is boundless, and if there lies beneath it a desire to advertise anything, one must remain, longer than the Presidential party has been here to discover the fact With the subsidence of last Friday's ebullition, alia in assumed their every day aspect, and there Is a promise that the visiters shall depart to-morrow morning without more of a demonstration than wonld be accorded to any other honored guest. The rpecial train leaves at 9 o'clock f jr PA: Paul. A concession has been made to La Ctoffb, at which point the train will tarry about twenty minntes to-morrow scon, and the party will take carriages to Eee the place ard be fen by its people. LEAVINGCHICAGO, The Presidential Party Starts for Wisconsin' Largest City. Chicago, October 6. Swarms of people again rilled all the approaches to the Palmer House this morning, eagerly watching for a glimpse of President Cleveland when he should emerge for a drive to the International Military Encampment. Crowds of workmen and shop-girls on the way to their daily tasks forgo, for the time being, the toil before ttem and pressed forward through tbe jam of country people, and well drexed city sight seers. A half-dozen mounted police had no little trouble clearing a pe-ssage for the President's carriage, which was drawn by four spank irr; bays. Tha sky was lowering,' and every one was predicting rain would fall before the President could make a start. Not a drop fell, however, and at 8:45, Mr. Cleveland, looking but little werte for his wholesale handshaking of the previous day, appeared at the arched door-way. With hat doffed and many a good natnred bow to the cheering crowd, he lightly sprang into the waiting carriage, and in a trice was whirling through the thick of the business district and out Washington boulevard to the encampment. He was accompanied by Mayor Roche, General Terry and a down lesser dignitaries. Early as it was and threatening as was the day, the sidewalks along the entire route were lined with people, Including thousands, who, notwithstanding strenuous all day and evening efforts yesterday, bad failed to see the President or his wife in the general contusion prevailing. A ludicrous incident occurred at the entrance of the encampment grounds. The President's carriage got stuck in the mud. There was not a moment's time to spare, and the prancing bays were smartly lashed with the whip. It was nip and tack with the mud, that was made thick and sticky by the rain during the night. Finally tbe vehicle containing the chief magistrate of the nation gave a terrific lange forward; and was gone from the laughing, cheerio? crowd. A rapid drive past the two or three thousand troops drawn up in line, a thundering salute from the artillery, aud bows and smiles to the couple of thousand spectators In tbe stands, completed the ceremonies at the encampment Without delay, the President boarded a train for tha J depot down town, from, which the start for

Milwaukee was tobe made. It lacked but five minutes of ten, the schedule time of the start for Milwaukee, when he arrived. Mrs. Cleveland had preceded him by half an hour, slipping qaietely into a carriage at the hotel and being driven to the depot comparatively unobserved. The hundreds of spectators crowding the waiting rooms when sbe arrived, had grown to thonranda In the short interval before the President came. Behind the long railings on tbe platform, parallel with the Presidential train it seemed like the quarter, oa Derby day, so closely paked and thoroughly excited were the people. Mrs. Cleveland gtzed from the window ot her car with decided interest that heightened when the President stepped from the Incoming train on an adjoining track and briskly walked to her side. At once t chores of entreaties went up for them to come out on the platform. "We want to aee Mr. Cleveland," and "Three cheers for Grover" were the cuts. When Mrs. Cleveland. In her green traveling dress and the President with head uncovered, appeared at tbe rear door of the train, a mighty cheer rolled through the depot Just then the train began to move, a burst of sunshine lit up the scene ; and while the multitude yelled itself hoarse, the President and his fair young wife waved a farewell to Chicago. BEGINNING THE JOURNEY AGAIN.

Tha Presidential Party Leave Hadisea .for St. Pavat Along tbe Konte. Uampow, Wi , October 10. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Vilas took a carriage at half past 8 o'clock this morning and drove to tbe railroad station. The President and Col. Vilas walked. The soectal train left for ßt Paul at 9 o'clock. There were a few hundred people at the station to bid the city's guests a good speed, but there was no organized demonstration of any kind. The skies were bright bat the temperature is cold and tbe steam healers cf the train are in fall blast. Porta e. Wis, October 10 The President's special train reached this point at five minutes past lOanJ stopped five minutes. The entire population was at the station and the President and Mrs. Cleveland appeared upon the platform of their car giving the people a good chance to sea them. As many as could get near enough had an opportunity to shake the President's hand. A brass band was in attendarce and serenaded the party during its stay. New Lisbox, WIb, Ostober 10 The President's train which reached here at quarter past eleven, stopped four minutes. Between two and three thousand people were in waiting at the station and ths time of the President was fully taken up in handshaking. Mrs. Cleveland appeared at the window of her car and divided attention with the President She looked rosy and bright and gracefully smiled her acknowledgements of the respectful greetings cf the people. An artillery salute was fired and the W. P. Mitchell Graml Army Post, which wss in attendance with their flag flying, gave the President three rousing cheers as tbe train palled out Lacrofk, Wis., October 10. The President's eptcial train reached Lacrosse at I o'clock. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired as tbe train entered the station. A throng of people numbering 6.000 or 8,000 awaited the arrival of the train and loudly cheered the visitors as they alighted and croeted the platform to the carnages. The steam whistles of saw mills and steamboats of the Mississippi screamed their loudest. The station and tho principal buildings of the city were tastefully decorated with bunting. The party were escorted through the principal streets by the Governor's gnsrd. The Mayor aud President of tbe Board of Trade accompanied the President in his carriage. The entire population, with a great number from a cistenee, were on the streets. The train stopped twenty minutes. PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

The current swept away into the woods, carrying trees and all the waste around to the Nashua river behind. The river rapidly rose and was covered by yellow foam for a mile below. The mills immediately shut down, and there is no telling when they will resume work, as the damace will take weeks to repair. The flood has thrown 3 000 employes out of work for an lndenmte time. An Echo of tbe Dig Wheat Deal. Chicago. October 10. An echo of the big wheat deal which excited Chicago board of trade men recently, is heard In Judge Gar sett's court to-day. When the explosion consequent to the explosion of the corner came, it rent the firm of O. J. Kershaw & Co. A bill was then filed by Kershaw t Co. against Hamilton Devar. Charles is. EggleBtOQj Morris .Koseabaujn, and, others

for the appointment of a receiver for the limited partnership. To this Morris K isenfeaum, William R. Linn and others filed a cross-bill to have tbe special partnership declared general and asking that the re-' ceiver be directed to take charge of the property of tbe individual members ot the firm and of the real estate which was alleged to have been fraudulently conveyed away by Charles B. Eegleston and which amounted to over $1,000,000 in value; the cross-bill also charged that Eggleston was a general instead of a special partner. The cross-bill waa directed against C. J, Kershaw, Hamilton Dewar, C. B. Eggleston, Charles E. Mosel y, J. J. Mitchell, A. L. Dewar, Maggie B. Egg'eston, William Mason, James B. Mitchell, and the American Exchange National Eank, and was made by Rosenbaum Bros., Walker & Co., William R. Linn. Blair fc Co., Orr A Comes, Charles Raymond & Co., and several other creditors of the firm of Kershaw & Co., reprecenling claims for 07er $1,000,000. To this cvo88-bill Kershaw and Eggleston demurred, and this morning the arguments on the demurrer were commenced. This argusaent is of strict importance to the creditors as the court will be compelled to pass upon the questioa of whether Eggleston is a general partner as charged in the cross-bill, and, therefore, liable for the debta of the firm.

THE OOUNTRY'S CROPS, Their Condition According to the Government's JUoathly Report. "Waseisgtok, October 10. The statistical report of the Department of Agriculture makes aa increase of only half of one psr cent In the condition of corn. The past month has been very generally favorable, but the status of a large part of the crop wss fixed at the date of the previous report. The general average of the condition Is 72 1 instead of 72 32. The average of the seven surplus States is Ci 9 instead of Gl 2 in September. This is a lower condition than has ever been reported, except in 1SS1, when the average was nearly seven points lower and the average yield 1S.G bushels. The indication is now for a yield ot a email fraction over twenty bushels per acre. Tbe exact area, exclusive of that cut for fodder as not worth harvesting is not yet determined. Slight uncertainty regarding it may cause a variation in the final record of one or two per cent, from 1,500,000 bushel The test ot threshing has not materially enlarged the average rate cf the wheat yield, which appears to be about 11.3 bushels, or four tenths of a bushel Im tb an last year. The increase of acreage, -which is large in Dakota, will make partial compensation and bring the product nearly or quite to 450 000.000 bushels.

BANDED MURDERERS. Negro Masons Who Avenge Injuries to Their Brother Members. Gkeekwood, Miss., October 10. Prophet Begur, Mike Brown, Robert Brown, Mai ot Macjohn Hinton, llobert Owen, Wash Johnson and Wash Scott, the negroes charged with the killing of Harry Taylor and wile, after a hearing Deiore Justice Parker, have been, with the exception of the last named, who gave bond, committed to tail without the beneht ot bond, to await the action of the grand jury and have been brought here for safekeeping. Morton Ford, who is also in jail, will have a preliminary examination to-day and probably some others not yet arrested. There is clear evidence against them and tbey will no doubt be convicted. Daring tbe preliminary trial it was discovered that a resolution to kill Mr. Kerney, a white man who had a fight with one ot their brothers, whose arm he had broken, was paeeed during one ot their meetings, tut the time appointed for the deed had not yet come. Two days were consumed in taking testimony and . many other negroes have been Implicated. There is no doubt that a colored man, a member of the Dry Bayou Lodge of negro Masons, was killed by Harry Taylor, and that both Harry Taylor and his wife had disappeared. A body answering to Taylor's being found in tbe river with marks of violence upon it The body had been weighted down. The lodges in this country were organized by a negro named Stringer, who claims to be working under the authority of the Grand Orient of France. Their lodge was founded in 1882. Several other lodges have been founded in this section. The colored Masons are not recognized by the white Masons at all, and their or-ter is not under the authority of the old York order of Masonry. It is hard to Bay whether they have an obligation that teaches them to avenge, slay, etc., or whether thev construe the obligations they take to suit themselves. The white people of the country are determined to break up their lodges and to punish the guilty members of this death dealing order. Tbe Circuit Ccurt, when it meets, will decide upon matters.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Delegates at Minneapolis Plensed at Powder ly 'a Reports as to tbe Cliarctt. MiKKiAroLis, October 10. The Knlghta of Labor AsbembJy convened ai the usual hour this morning, but little business of importance was handled, the time being consumed in hearing the reports and appointing committees. There was not a very full attendance, and the hotel lobbies awarmed with Knights. Among tbe majority of those here was an unmistakable feeling of satisfaction at the sentimeut presented by Mr. Powderly in his report on the attitude ot their order and the Catholic Church. The Associated Press representative talked with Knights of all religions denominations, and they were loui in their praise ot Mr. Powderly'a report and his personal attitude. Master Workman Lowry, ot D. A. ill, Bradford, Pa., sa'.d: "Yes, I must confess there was considerable doubt with regard to Mr. Powderly'a feelings, as well as some speculation as to what the sentiment of this report woold be, but I am certain that every man in my district is satisfied this morning. There are not such a large number of Catholics ia my district and I am a Methodist a denomination which to-day I think is more opposed to Catholicism than any other in existence. I think that religious beliefs have nothing to do with our ort er, and I am proud of Mr. Powderly, and refer with satisfaction to his remarks as to keeping ap the dignity of the order. The remarks as to tue attitude toward Anarchism also struck home, and to-day we stand upon a well defined and independent platform that every member understands. John A. Uauer, Master Workman of D A. 178, comprisiag fjurteen assemblies, with bette" quarters at Springfield, Ohio, is a pleasant gentleman of unasauming manners, lie faid: "There was some misgivings among certain memberi of our district as to wtat;tbe resultjin question would be, but personally I nevtr swerved for a moment in my belief that Mr. Powderly, although a devout Catholic, would do just as be has done. I am an English Lutheran, and there is a predominance of that denomination in my district. There has been much outside speculation with regard to reliRlcns sentiment embody ing any portion of onr platform, but now no one can believe that sectarianism eyer had a mention in our constitution, and we stand on our personal dignity, and every member is free to believe and think as he pleases." ANGRY WORKINGMEN. They Denounce the Interference of the Police at Union Square. New Yoek, October 9. Ine trouble with the police at the Progressive Labor party's mass-meeting at Union Square, Saturday night, rf stored the wrangling factions of the Central Libor Union to at least tempo) ary harmony at their meeting to day. Delegate Uawkes, a printer, who is a pronounced George man, offered resolutions denouncing the police for interference at the Union Square meeting, and tbey were secondi d by several George men. Delegate Ksjburu, in speaking on the resolution paid that the circumstances which had brought abont the Chicago Hay market bomb throwing were identicsi with those that precipitated last night's onslaught upon the peaceably assembled workingmen of New York. The resolutions first offered were not deemed sufficiently strong, and they were re-written and unanimously adopted. They declared tbat the meeting on Union Square had been called to discuss politic tl questions ;that it wus a peace lb le meeting; that it had been interrupted by the pa! ice in a brutal aud unwarranted manner; that such fcciion on the p&rt of the police was apt to bring about a state of affairs when citfzrns woold be compelled to repel such raal attacks by unlawful means in the defense of their constitutional rights, and tnat the action of tue police must be cjndemLed, ss tbey bad, insteid ot protecting the petceable citizens, infringed upon their rights and provoked a bloody riot. A cemmittee was appointed to present the resolutions to the Board of Police Commiwioners. P. H. Cumming. candidate of the United Labor party, for State Treasurer, made a speech denouncing the action of the police and asserting that workingmen must stand together against the common foe, the capitalists. The German fresco painters union, which was suspended at the last meeting was reinstated. The lockout of the brass workers wss discmsed. and they wen assured of the Central Libor Unions support. The new ecale of Typographical Union No. 5, which goe3 into effect to morrow, was endorsed, aad a complaint that Peter Doelger, the brewer, is employing uon-Union men on buildings l.e is errecting, was referred to the boycott c immitte e.
