WONDEf.FUL ITINERARY OF CHRIST'S
WALK TO NAZARETH.
Bethel aud the Sea of Galliee-Farewell
to the lilstoric Mountains Arocud Jeru
salem....wfr.1 Tragedies of the Olden
Times.
BRoOKLYX, Nov. 9.-To-day Dr. Tal
mage preached the seventh of his course
of sermons on his recent tour in Pales
tine. The following is the sermon from
the text. "So I lifted up mine eyes the
way toward the north" (Ezekiel viii,
5:)
At 1 o'clock on a December after
noon through Damascus gate we are
passing out of Jerusalem for a journey
northward. Ho ! for Bethel, with its
stairs, the botton step of which was a
stone pillow; and Jacob's well, with its
immortal colloquy; and Nazareth, with
Its divine boy in his father's carpenter
shop, and the most glorious lake that
ever rippled or 11ashed
Blue Galliee, sweet Galliee,
The lake where Jesus loved to be;
and Damascus, with its crooked street
called Straight. andl a hundred places
charged and surcharged with apostolic,
evangelistic, prophetic. patriarchal,
kingly and Christly reminiscences.
In traveling along the roads of Pal
estine I am impressed, as I could not
otherwise have been, with the fact that
Christ for the most part went afoot.
We find him occasionally on a boat,
and once riding in a triumphal proces
sion, as it is sometimes called, although
it seemi to me that the hosannas of the
crowd could not have made a ride on a
stubborn, unimpressive and funny
creature like that which pattered with
him into Jerusalem very much of a
triumph. But we are made to under
stand that generally he walked. How
much that means only those know who
have gone over the distance traversed
by Christ.
We are accustomed to read that
Bethany is two miles from Jerusalem.
Well, any man in ordinary health can
walk two miles without fatigue. But
not more than one man out of a thous
and can walk from Bethany to Jeru
salem without exhaustion. It Is over
the Mount of Olives, and you must
climb up among the rolling stones and
descend where exertion is necessary to
keep you from falling prostrate. I, who
am accustomed to walk fifteen or twen
ty miles without lassitude, tried part
of this road over the Mount of Olives,
and confess I would not want to try it
often, such demand does it make upon
one's physical energies. Yet Christ
walked it twice a day-in the morning
from Bethany to J er usalem, and in the
evening from Jerusalem to Bethany.
VIEW FROM MOUNT SCOPUS.
Likewise it seemed a small thing that
Christ walkea from Jerusalem toNaza
reth. But it will take us four days of
hard horseback riding, sometimes on a
trot and sometimes on a gallop, to do
it this week. The way is mountainous
iu the extreme. To thosa who went up
to the Tip Top house on Mount Wash
ington before the railroad was laid I
will say that this journey from Jeru
salem to Nazareth is like seven such
American johrneys. So all up and
down and across and recrossing Pales
tine, Jesus walked. Ahab rode. David
rode. Solomon rode. Herod rode. An
tony rode. But Jesus walked. With
swollen ankles and sore muscles of the
legs, and bru.sed heel and stiff joints
and panting lungs and faint head,
along the roads and where there were
no roads at all Jesus walked.
We tried to get a new horse other
than that on which we had ridden on
the journey to the Dead sea, for he had
faults which our close acquaintance-I
ship had developed. But after some
experimenting with other quadrupeds
of that species, and finding that all
horses, like their riders, have faults
Kwe concluded to choose a saddle ,on
that beast whose faults we were most
prepared to pity or resist. We rode
down through the valley and then up
on Mount Scopus and, as our dragoman
tells us that this is the last opportun
ity we shall have of looking at . eru
salem, we turn our horse's head toward
the city and take a long, sad and thrill
ing look at the religious capital of our
planet. This is the most impressive
view of the most tremendous city of
all time.
On and around this hill the armies of
the crusaders at the first sight of the
city threw themselves on their faces in
worship. Here most of the besieging
armies encamped the night before open
Cing their volleys of death against Jeru
salem. Our last look ! Farewell,
Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount of
Olives, Mount Calvary ! Will we never
see them again? Never. The world
is so large and time is so short, and
there are so many things we have never
seen at all, that we cannot afford to
duplicate visitss or see anything more
than once. Farewell, yonder thrones
of gray rock, and the three thousand
years of architecture and battlefields.
Farewell, sacred, sanguinary, triumph
ant. humiliated Jerusalem i! Across
this valley of the Kedron with my
right hand I throw thee a kiss of vale
di~ctorv. Our last look, like our first
.look, 'an agitation of body, mind and
soul indescribable.I
THlE CORP'SE CUT I NTO) TwELvE IECEs.
And now, like Ezekiel in my text, I
lift up mine eyes the way toward the
north. Near here was one of the worst
tragedies of the ages mentioned in the
Bible. A hospitable old man coming
home at eventide from his work in the
fields finds two strangers, a husband
and wife, proposing to lodge in the
street because no shelter is offered
them. and invites them to come in and
spend the night in his home. During
the night the ruffians of the neighbor
hood conspired together, and surround
ed the house, and left the woman dead
on the doorstep, and the husband, to
rally in revenge the twelve tribes, cut
the corpse of the woman into twelve
parts an:J sent a twelfth of it to each
tribe, and the fury of the nation was
roused, and a peremptory demand was
made for the surrender of the assas
sins, and, the demand refused, in one
day twenty thousand people were left
dead on the field and the next day
eighteen thousand. Wherever our horse
to-day plants his foot in those ancient
times a corpse lay, and the roads were
crossed by red rivulets of carnage.
Now we pass on to where seven
youths were put to death and their
bodies gibbeted or hung in chains, not
for anything they had themselves done.
but as a reparation for what their
father and grandfather. Saul, had done.
Burial was denied these youths from
May until November. Rizpah, the
mother of two of these dead boys, ap
points herself as sentinel to guard the
seven corp'ses from break of raven and
tooth of wolfe and paw of lion. She
pitches a black tent on the rock close
by the gibbets. Rizpah by day sits on
the ground~ in front of her tent, and
when a vulture begins to lower out of
the noonday sky seeking its prey
among the gibbets Riizpah rises, her
long hair dlying in the wimd, and swing-i
ing her si ms wildly about shoos away,
the bird of prey until it retreats to its
eyrie. At night she rests under
the shadow of her tent, and sometimes
falls into a drowsiness or half sleep. I
But tLe step of a jackl among the dry
leaves or the panting of a hveua
arouses her, and with the fury of a
maniae she rushes out upon the rock
crying, "Away ! Away !" and then,
examining the gibbets to see that they
still keep their burden, returns again
to her tcnt till scme swooping wing
from the midnight sZy or some growl
ing monster on the rock again wakes
her.
TiIE GIBBETS IN A31ERICA.
A mother watching her dead chil
dren through May, June, July, August,
September and October! What a
vigil: Painters have tried to put upon
canvass the scene, and they succeeded
in sketching the hawks in the sky and
the panthers crawling out from the
jungle, but they fail to give the wan
ness, the supernatural courage, the in
finite self sacrifice of Rizpah, the moth
er. A mother in the quiet home watch
ing by the casket of a dead child for
one night exerts the artist to his ut
most, but who is sufficient to put upon
canvass a mother for six months of
midnights guarding her whole family,
dead and gibbeted upon the moun
tains?
Go home. Rizpah! You must be aw
fully tired. You are sacrificing your
reason and your life for 'those whom
you can never bring back again to
your bosom. As I say that from the
darkest midnight of the century Riz
pah turns upon rue and cries: "How
dare you tell me to go home ? I am a
mother. I am not tired. You might
as well expect God to get tired as for a
mother to get tired. I cared for those
boys when they lay on my breast in in
fancy. and I will not forsake them now
that they are dead. Interrupt me not.
There stoops an eagle that I must drive
back with my agonized cry. There is
a panther I must beat back with my
nlub."
Do you know what that scene by our
roadside in Palestine makes me think
of? It is no unusual scene. Right
ere in these three cities by the Ameri
,an sea coast there are a thousand cases
this moment worse than that. Moth
ers watching boys that the rum saloon,
that annex of hell, has gibbeted in a
living death. Boys hung in chains of
vil habit they cannot break. The
father may go to sleep after waiting
ntil 12 o'clock at night for the ruined
boy to come home and, giving it up, he
may say. "Mother, come to bed; there's
ao use sitting up any longer." But
mother will not go to bed. It is 1
'clock in the morning. It is half-past
L. It is 2 o'clock. It is half-past 2
when he comes staggering through the
aall.
Do you say that young man Is yet
live? No; he is dead. Dead to his
rather's entreaties. Dead to his moth
er's prayers. Dead to the family altar
where he was reared. Dead to all the
oble ambitions that once insplred
aim. Twice dead. Only a corpse of
what he once was. Gibbeted before
3od and man and angels and devils.
Chained In a death that will not loosen
ts cold grasp. His fathe: is asleep, his
brothers are asleep, his sisters are
isleep; but his mother is watching him
in the night. After he has gone up to
ed and fallen Into a drunken sleep his
mother will go up to his room and see
hat he Is properly covered, and before
;be turns out the light will put a kiss
ipon his bloated lips. "Mother, why
lon't you go to led ?" "Ah! she says,
'I cannot go to bed. I am Rizpah
watching the slain!"
But I must spur on our Arab steed,
and here we come in sight of Beeroth,
;aid to be the place where Joseph and
,1ary missed the boy Jesus on the way
from Jerusalem to Nazareth, going
iome now from a great national festi
val. "Where is my child, Jesus?~" says
MIary. Where is my child, Jesus ?" says
Joseph. Among the thousands that
are returning from Jerusalem they
thought that certainly he was walking
on in the crowd. They described him,
saying. "He is 12 years old, and of
ight complexion and blue eyes. A lost
child!" Great excitement in all the
crowd. Nothing so stirs folks as the
news that a child is lost. ,I shall not
forget the scene when, in a great out
door meeting, I was preaching, and
some one stepped on the platform and
said that a child was lost. We went
on with the religious service, but all
our minds were on the lost child.
After a while a man brought on the
platform a beautiful little tot that
looked like a piece of heaven dropped
down, and said, "Here is that child."
And I forgot all that I was preaching
about, and lifted the child to my shoul
der and said, "Here is the lost child,
and the ntother will come and get her
right away, or I will take her home and
add her to my own brood!" And Eome
cried and some shouted, and amid all
that crowd I instantly detected the
mother. Everybody had to get out
of her way or be walked over. Hats
were nothing and shoulders were noth
ing and heads were nothing in her
pathway, and I realized something of
what must have been Mlary's anxiety
w~hen she lost Jesus, arid what her
gladness when shie found her boy in
the temple of'Jerusalum taiking with
those old1 misters of .religion, Sham
mai. Ililitel and Betirah.
A CUR IIST IAN WOMAN's PRAYER.
Out on the western prairies, was a
happy but isolated home. Father,
mother and child. By the sale of cat
tie quite a large sumn of money was one
zight In that esbln, and the father was
away. A robber who had heard of the
money one nirht looked in at the win
dow, and the wife and mother of that
home saw him and she wa helpless.
Her child by her side, she knelt down
and prayed among other things for all
prodigals who were wandering up and
down the world. The robber heard her
prayer and was overwhelmed and en
tered the cabin and knelt beside her
and began to pray. ie had came to
rob that house, but the prayer of that
woman for the prodigals reminded him
of his mother and her prayers before
he became a vagabound, and from that
hour he began a new life. Years after
that woman was in a city in a great
audience, andl the orator who chtme on
the platform and plead gloriously for
righteousness and God was the man
who many years before had looked into
the cabin on the prairies as a robber.
The speaker and the auditor immedi
ately recognized each other. After so
long a time a mother's prayers answer
ed.
But we must hurry on for the mul
eteers and baggage men have been or
dered to pitch our tents for to-night
at Bethel. It is already getting so
dark that we have to give up all idea of
guiding the horses, and leave them to
their own sagacity. We ride down
amid mud cabins and into ravines,
where the horses leap from depth to
depth, rocks below rocks, rocks under
rocks. Whoa: Whoa! We dismc'unt
in this place, memorable for 'many
things in Bible history, the two nmore
prominent a theological seminary,
where of old they made ministers, an'l
for JTacob's dream. The students of
this Bethel Theological seminary were
called "sons of the prophets." IHere
the young men were fittedl for the min
istry, and those of us who ever had the
advantage of such institutions will
evelhstingly be grateful, and in the
calendar of saints, which I read with
especial affection, are the doctors of
divinity who blessed me with their

But most distinguished was Bethel
for that famous dream which Jacob
had, his head on a collection of stones.
Ie had no trouble in this rocky region
in finding a rocky pillow. There is
hardly anything else but stone. Yet
the people of those lands have a way of
drawing their outer garment up over
their head and face, and such a pillow
I suppose Jacob had under his bead.
The plural was used in the Bible story.
and you find it was not a pillow of
stone, I suppose, so that if one proved
to be of uneven surface he would turn
over in the night and take another
stone, for with such a hard bolster he
would often change in the night. Well
that night God built in Jacob's dream 1J
a long splendid ladder, the feet of it on
either sIde of the tired pilgrim's pillo w, I
aid the top of it mortised in the sky.
And bright immortals came out from
the castles of amber and gold and put
their shining feet on the shining rungs
of the ladder, and they kept coming
down and going up, a procession botht
ways.
I suppose they had wings. for the I
Bible almost always reports thetm as:
having wings, but this was a ladder on
which they used hanas and teet to
encourage all those of us who have no
wings to climb, and encouraging us to
believe that if we will use what we I
have God will provide a way, and if we
will employ the hana and the foot he
will furnish the ladder. Young man.
do not wait for wings. Those angels I
folded theirs to show you wings are not
necessary, Let all the people who have I
hard pillows-hard for sickness, or hard 1
for poverty, or hard for persistence- I
know that a hard pillow is the landing It
place for angeis. They seldom descend i
on pillows of eiderdown. They seldom I
build dreams in the brain of the one
who sleeps easy.
The greatest dream of all time was t
that of St. John. with his head on the I
rocks Patmos, and in that vision he!
heard the seven trumpets sounded, and I
saw all the pomp of heaven in proces- t
sion cherubic, seraphic, archangelic. t
The next most memorable and glorious t
dream was that of John Bunyan, his I
pillow the cold stone of the floor of Bed
ford jail, from which he saw the celes- :
tial city, and so many entering it he
cried out in his dream, "I wish myseif t
among them."
I notice that those angels, either in I
coming downor going up on Jacob's lad
der, took it rung by rung. They did not s
leap to the bottom nor jump to the top.
So you are to rise. Faith added to
faith, good deed to good dwed, industry C

That night at Bethel I stood in front 1
of my tent and looked up, and the t

and all up and down the heavens were I
angels of beauty. angels of consolation,
angels of God, ascending and descend- I

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Look Well to Your Pockct Change-You,
May Get Some of It.
LorISVILLE, Ky., Nov. .-The start
ling announcement has reached this
city from the chief of the United States t
secret service, that this city was t
thought to be flooded with counterfeit
S2 silver certificates, so perfect in mark
that it was almost impossible for an I
expert to detec:t the difference betweent
them and a real one. The letter wvas
received by Capt. Baurer, who is at thee
head ot the department in this district. 1
Acting in accordance with the letter, 1:
Capt. Bauer began at once to work onc
the case, and in two hours he had a
found two of the bills, both of which g
had been accepted as legal currency.f
One of the certificates had been receiv
ed by an official at the postoflice, whilea
the other iWas accepted by a prominent a
merchant. t
The imitation is so complete that t
nothing short of the most careful scru- h
tiny on the part of an expert can de- t
tect th 3 difference. The discovery is t
very important. for since two of the
bills were found so soon after the
search was begun, it is probable that
the city is already flooded with the
worthless -money. The very fact of one t
having passed through the hands of a e
postoflice official without detection, is e
sufficent evidence of the cleverness of I
the work, and Capt. Bauxer pronounces I
the counterfeit far superior to anye
work that was ever done by Miles Ogle,v
the "King of Counterfeiters." He
warns every one to observe the great-n
est precaution in receiving and paying
out $2 silver certificates.
In the letter received by Capt. Bauter,
the following is said of the counter- t
feit money : "The bill has a small,f
round, pink seal, and the signatures,e
'W. S. Riosecrans,' register of the treas- s
urv, C. N. Jordan, treasurer. upon the
face. No closer imitation of the geniu-s
ie bill has been distributed in this f
country for years. It has no silk thread. '
but they have been so pressed as to prne- e
sent the appearance of having onea
when held to the light. In the wordb
'register' the '1' is not dlotted; neitherr
is there a period after 'treasurer.' asd
there is in the original. So d:uneerous It
is its character Jhat the uttmost carep
must be taken in receiving S2 silvero
certificates."
The counterfeit bills have been tioat- b
ing in eastern cities for several weeks, I
but not until recently was it known t
that they were in circulation here. k
Capt. Bauer is exerting every effort on
the case, and he has specially detailed i
several of his men to work on it. It is s
probable that a large number of bills l1
wll be found here, and tmany persons 'l
may find that they have sustained a a
loss by receiving them.

oof frout the o(1 party, and decided to
nake their own nominations and go it
ilone. The reason for this difference
n the poliev of the organization in the
wo sections was doubtless due to the
act that while in the South the Demo
:ratic party was already committed to
nany of the prmciples advocated by
he Alliance, the llepublican party in
he West and clsewhere was committed
o no single one of them. The Alliance
n the South was satislied i: the mafin
vith Democratic policy, and only
spired to control that party so as to
hape its legislation in certain direc
ions, but in the W est the Alliance was
eartily disgusted with lepublican

4' the party in Congress left no lope of
ecuring any of the desired reforms at

In Alabama the Alliance nearly suc

tinany others, where they failed, the

he single exception of the sub-Treasury

says:
"It is what might be termed a polit
cal volcano eruption, is It not ?" he sai
with an expressive smile. "There 44
two principal reasons. which I thin
will embody the primary root of th
great revulsion of feellnir. The irst j
the fact that the people of Kans~s ar
awakening to the importance and al
solute necessity of a pronounced pos
tion on the part of the people of th
north against sectiontalisin. Put it wa

malice and sectional party" hate. t

explosion of which has culminated I

Thev had been his life-long friend:
both in a personal and political sensf
but they would never countenanc

in that speech.
"A meeting was finaily held in 2.larel

passed.repudiating any mian who wxoul,
support Ingalls in hi! course. Th
resolution w.s heartily indors:d .b.
thousands, awl ltd to the organizatioi
of the late movement.
"Sectional agitationm has serveil th
purposes of political demagogiues i:
the north in holding the ltepublicai
party together. When they saw th
necessity of abandioning the blood;

fro:n personal knowledge of the statu

that the patriotic men of the south wil

A SECRET MARRIAGE.
e I
I C Romance in Real Life-A Skelton In
the Blonnerhassett Closet.
et ST. LoUIs, Mo.. Nov. 6.-An extraor
i dinarv case has developed through the
1 filing of an application for a change of
name by Miss Theresa Blennerhassett, a
member of the historical family of that
t name. The petitioner is the daughter of
s ilichard S. Blennerhassett, the youngest
son of the Blennerhassett of Burr con
spiracy fame. She states in her petition
that Oct. 40, 1871, at Odin, Ills., she was
married to John Calvin Adams, and
lived with him until November, 1871,
but that at the instance of her family she
kept her marriage a secret. IHer hus
band was killed a few weeks after the
marriage, and so, still at the solicitation
of her family she continued to be known
as Theresa Blennerhassett. In August,
1672, she gave birth to a female child,
who was always known as Mary Blen
inerhassett. Petitioner says her mother
. and all the other members of her family
'are dead, save a twin brother, and her
family patronymic is a historic name of
r which she is justly proud. -Moreover,
she has acquired property since her hus
band's death, the title of which in in
. vested in her maiden name of Theresa
. Blennerhassett. She prays the court to
fix and establish her legalname as Ther
esa Blennerhassett Aaams.
The story back of this petition is ro
mantic. Theresa Blennerhassett, in
spite of the bitter opposition of her rela- I
tatives, fell in love with Adams, who was
a traveler for a St. Louis business house.
She went on an ostensible visit to rela
tives at Odin, and there met and mar
imied her lover, and togather they went
on a flying trip to the East. She return
ed to her home on account of the sud
den illness of her mother, and arranged
with her husband to follow her in three
weeks. Ile did so, but was thrown
from the train by an accident and kill
ed. The world was in ignorance of the
clandestine marriage, and was unfortu
nately kept so, even after the birth of
the child. The advent of the little one
was kept a secret, and Therese Blenner
hasset in due time announced that she i
had adopted a little girl. Her child has
grown up in ignorance of her true rela
tion to her foster mother, and is now a
beautiful girl of 18. The present pro
ceeding, which lay bare a family secret,
are brought as much to protect the girl
and insure her title, as they are to satis
fy th'e mother's longings to have her le
gal status deiined. Theresa Elenner
hassetL is now about fifty years old and
has always been looked upon as an old
maid. -____ __
FRIGHTENED BV( A BALLOON.
The Panic Which an Airship) Caused
Among Russian Peasants.
IST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 8.-An ac
count which recently appeared in the
Novoe Vremya of a balloon voyage
from St. Petersburg to a point not far
beyond Lake Ladoga conv'eys a strik-1
ing picture of the benighted condition
Iof the Russian peasantry, even wIthin
a few hundred miles of' the capital.'
The balloon in question, containing a
Col. Pomostzeff and Count Covauko,
descended at a place called Moustoi, in
1the government of Oletz, 300 versts]
I from St. Petersburg, and caused a gen- I
eral panic. The peasants thought that,
>antich rist was descending from the sky,
iand that the end of the world was 1
,come; women screamed, children cried,
and all the Inhabitants were well-nigh
I out of their wits from fear. Soon from
I the wood came thd women who hadi
-been gathering mushrooms, running as
fast as their legs could carry them. 'A
.house,' they cried, 'has come down -
from the sky with wonderful stranger4
Sin it!' The peasants thereupon all hid
.themselves in the village as best they I
could, with the exception of a few bold I
fellows, w~hio took their hatchets and I
cudgels and proceeded cautiously to<
the forest. It was long before these
latter, who assisted to convey the appa
,ratus to the village, could prevail upon
itheir fellow villagers to come out of
>their hiding piaces. The aeroiiputs
-spent the night in this village, and in
ithe morning marched back, the balloon
>being packed on a sledze because there
was not a wheeled vehicle in the place.
At the next village. Podboria, there
was another scene. The descent of the
balloon had also beeni observed here.
and the inhabitants concluded that it
was a visit of holy saints from heaven.
So in every' cottage the shrine lamps
were lit, and the peasants fell on their
knees and prayed the heavenly visi
tants to favor their village also with
their presence. When, therefore, there
appeairedl on the road to Podboria a
sledge surrounded by a crowd, the
whole villag: w~ent out to meet it, and
great was their disappointment on
learnig the actual state of affairs.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH
An Engine 1asses Through a Crowded
Car Without Fatal Results.
CNCic1 xT1, Nov. 7.-A miraculous
escape from death by the occupants of
the Jacksonville. Fla., sleeping car oL
the Cincinnati Southern Ratircad hap
pened at Junction City at 3:30 o'clock.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
crosses the Southern at this point, and
when train No. 8 of the Southern road
had reached the station on schedule
time and stopped at the usual place,
Middlesboro. directly across the track of
the Louisville and Nashville, on the
latter road a heavy freight was coming
from the West. It should have stopped
two hundred feet from the crossing
until the track was clear. but for some
reason the freight did not stop. It is
said that the breaks would not work.
At any rate the train came rushing on
and struck the sleeper in the centre, the
engine plougiling through, breaking the
car to pieces and throwing the occupants
right and left on either side of the
track. The engine left the track and
crasned into the baggage room of the
Louisville and Nashville depot. Fortu
bately the wrecked car did not take fire
and no one was killed outright. The
injured are: Herbert F. Tousley, Bell
vedere. Ill., concussion of the brain;
Mrs. S. W. Wheeler, Milwaukee,
knee cut slight; Jennie R. White,
three years old. Milwaukee, injured
tbout the head. These are at Junction
City. Kentuckg, under medical treat
ment. Others injured were: D. J.
Wheeler, Findlay, Ohio, slight scalp
ound and bruise on neck; Ered A.
Shaler. Findlay, Ohio, slight bruises;
David B. Shaler, Findlay, Ohio, com
pressiou of the chest. These three are
le to travel and will reach this city
this afternoon. W. T. Hardie, Jackson
ville, Fla.. general freight agent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western, was
badly injured about the spine; B. N.
A.ustin, assistant general passenger
igent of the Northern Pacific Railway.
St. Paul. Minnesota, was badly injured
ternally. These two were brought to
lhis city on the delayed train and were
taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
A. sad feature of Austin's misfortune is
hat he had gone to Jacksonville, Fla.,
o take home the body of his mother,
vho had recently died and her body was
n the baggage car at, the time of the
tecident. Austin was in great pain
luring his journey to this city, and as
ie moaned, lie thought he was dying,
d said: "1 shall soon join my moth
r." McLean, conductor of the sleep
r, was slightly injared, as was also the
ngineer of the freight train. Mr E. L.
orthrup of Elicotsville, N. Y., was a
>assenger in the wrecked sleeper. He
rrived here to-day and said he could
2otaccount for the escape of any body
n the car. The engine crashed through
t with such force that the whole car
vas in ruins and the sleeping passen
,rs were thrown" promiscuously among
he debris. The delayed train reached
incinnati over three hours late, a
ittle after ten o'clock to-day.
REPUBLICAN REVENGE.
Reducing the Wages of Democratic
Worlrmen.
CLINTON, 0., November 7.-This
norning forty-seven Democrats em
)oyed by Russell & Co, of Massillon,
!uit work because their wages had been
-educed 33 per cent. The wages of the
lepublicans were not changed, and the
nly reason given for reducing the Dem
crats' wages was that they voted for
ohn G. Warwick, the people's candi
late, and against Major McKinley, the
'iend of the monopolists. The city of
Iassillon is ablaze with indignation on
he part .of the workingmen of both
arties against the tyrannical action
Ld an indignation mneeting will be held
)y the citizens to take action in the
natter.
The shops of Russell & Co are im
nense concerns, in which six or seven
mndred hands'find employment in the
usy season. over four hundred being
~mployed the year round. The firm
nanufactures agricultural machinery,
team enaines and similar articles.
uring the campaign the Russells, who
ire stanchl Republicans, interested them
elves deeply in the election of Mr Mc
~imey. Yesterday a large number of
Democrats received their cards with the
rices revised, a cut of 33 per cent. being
nade on every ainicle.
Upon hearing it Lieutenant Governor
Varwick could scarcely bring himself to
elieve it. Investigating the story, he
ound it to be only too true, whereupon
I said:
"What an outrage ! What a shame ! It
s terrible, terrible. I am shocked and
urprised. indeed, by this mnfamous act.
3riven from work because they voted
or me!"
At once Mr Warwick began to make
reparations to relieve tile men who
Lad been so outrageously treated. A
legram was sent to Michael D. Harter,
'f tie 15th district, who has large shops
.t Mansfield, asking him if h6 conld not
nake room for those who had been
iracticallv evicted.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Mr C. H. Rus
ll was accosted at the postoflice by
)tto Young, Democratic candidate for
'roate Judge and i leading lawyer of
Jassillon. ~Mr Young asked the mannu
acturer if it was true that the reduction
tad been made. lie was frigidly re
ived, Mr Russell evading the question.
nsisting upon a reply, Mr Young re
cived the harsh response:
"Hereafter in our shops free-traders
all receive free-trade wages."

DEMOCRATIC BOYS AT THE CAPITAL
HOARSE FROM YELLING.
The Greatest Time in Washington Ever
Known-Republicans are Exceedingly
Blue-Who Is Responsible for the De
feat-Reed and the Force Bill.
WAsHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The Demo
crats have yelled themselves hoarse and
are tired of whooping. The poor old
Republicans in this town hunted their
holes early, and they have not the
slightest deisre to make their appear
ance in public places In large numbers
since. Here and there you could meet
a group of Republicans, and they are
truly a mournful set. A conversation
overheard was to this effect:
First Republican-We seem to have
been avalanched.
Seco n d Republican-Avalanched?
Worse than that, my boy. I never saw
anything like it.
A few prominent Republicans now
in the city cannot be induced to express
any opinions on the result. They are
simply stunned, and have, as a rule, no
theory, except that it is a rebuke to
President Harrison. They are not will
ing to admit that the tariff and election
bills and Porter's census have been re
sponsible for the avalanche, but insist
on placing most of the blame on poor,
unpopular President Harrison. It is
no secret here that.the rank and file of
the Republicans regard Harrison as a
distinct failure in the executive chair,
and now that the Democrats have ap
parently captured the earth, they are
abusing Mr. Harrison, and are trying
to throw the whole blame upon his
shoulders.
The Democrats are. quietly enjoying
their great victory, and those who come
down town are constantly dropping in
to the newspaper offices to hear the
latest returns.
The returns from the congressional
districts In all portions of the country
continue to be of the most encouraging
character, and there was no let up for
the Democrats in the gains. Some of
the Democrats began to hope that the
gains would cease, as the number of
Democrats elected to the house was
frightfully large; but they finally began
to laugh, and, as the thing was running
their way, declared that they might as
well have a hundred majority in the
lower branch of congress as fifty.
Some of the Republicans, remember
ing Treasurer Hustod's recent remarka
ble Interview in regard to President'
Harrison and the Lord, are wondering
whether Harrison or the Lord carried
Indiana for the Democrats.
Great interest was felt here in the
contest in Cooper's district in Indiana.
The hirelings of Raum and "Pension
Shark" Lemon confidently expected
that the young Democrat would be
laid out, but they had long faces when
they hunted the returns. Every bul
letin Indicates the triumphant re-elec
tion of Hon. Geo. IV. Cooper.
It is believed that Raum's days in the
pension office are numbered. The ad
ministration is bound to unload him.
He has been practically condemned by
the house committee, who investigated
him and he has been in some nasty
scandals. The henchmen of Lemon
and Raum are gnashing their teeth
over the news from Cooper's district,
for the latter has won, in spite of the
slush fund of Lemon and the ranting
of Raum on the stump in Indiana.
The Democrats here are keenly re
joicing over the defeat of McComas, in
Maryland. He went out of his' way to
make a mean, bitter speech in favor of
the infamous force bill, and his people
have severely rebuked him.
One of the sweetest pieces of news
that came from the west was that Row
elI, the chairman of the house commit
tee on elections, had been defeated in
the Bloomington district in Illinois.
Rowell Is one of the rankest radicals in
the house, and It was he who led the
deviltry that resulted in the robbery of
so many seats in the present house.
There Is not adoubt that old Virginia
and Maryland have each elected solid
Democratic delegations to congress,
making a net gain of three in each state.
The returns received here indicate that
this was a bad year for the Democratic
bolters and soreheads. Frank Hume
tried to beat Gen. "Rooney" Lee In the
Virginia district just across the river,
but Gen. Lee's majority is larger than
ever. Hume has plenty of money and
spent it liberally, but principle knocked
out boodie in that contest, and Hume
wvishes now that he had kept outof the
way of the engine.
Congressman Gear, of Iowa, the Re
publican who has been knocked out, is a
member of the committee that framed
the high tax bill, and is an ex-governor
of his state.
It is the general opinion here that if
the Maine election for congressman had
taken place in November instead of in
September, Boss Reed might have had
a shaking up. too.
The question is being asked on the
streets, "Will Boss Reed and Henry
Cabot Lodge now have the gall to press
the force bill?"
There is great rejoicing here among
the Democrats that "Kreutzer Sonata"
Cannon has been defeated in the fif
teenth district of Illinois. When the
bulletin came in practically concedin
his defeat, the Democrats chuckle
greatly. One of the greatest surprises
commented on here is the reported
election of four Democratic congress
men in the city of Chicago.
