A Hard Grind.

A hand-organ man was making his
way up Adams Avenue yesterday when
boy met him and asked:
How many tunes do you playa
"Zixteen shunes-nice, sweet shunes,"
replied the man.
My father is fond of music, but heis
a little deaf" continued the boy.
"Oh, dat make no Difference max
him hear .r-
The boy led the way up street to where
plaster bust of Sir Isaac Newton had
been arranged in bay-window to look
like a living man, and the Italian spit
on his hand and began on the crank.
He ground out all the tunes in rotation,
and then began at the bottom and ground
back up the scale till he got all the tunes
in the garnet of the box again. The man
in the bay window didn't move hair,
and the Italian drew long breath and
sighed: L--
"Play moar muzeek-mak him hear
soon"
He ran out eight tunes and then threw
some gravel at the window. The bust
didn't even work its ears, and the Ital-
ian leaned the organ on the fence and
loudly sang:
Oh who shall drinks of me som moar
When l am far way!
The seven other tunes were ratified of
at a lively pace, while the man coughed,
whistled kicked on the fence and en-
couraged dog-fght, in order to attract
the deaf mans attention. q
"Sing louder-play harder!" called
the boy from the next street corner.
The grinder secured brace for his
feet, unbottoned his vest, and the way
he roared brought out the citizens by
score. He kept his eyes on the bust,
and gave no heed to the crowd, and the
organ box was smoking hot when he let
up on the grind Resting the music on
the ground he leaped over the fence and
cot square look at his victim. His quiet
Grin faded into look of woe and mis-
cry, and murder, and getting his eyes on
the boy, with the red neck-tie, he ran
/ him four blocks and under a carpenter
shop. before still, small voice whisper

engaged Besrsley 10 move his family,
consisting OF himself wife and grown

county, Mo. They reached here yester-
day morning and passed through the
city southwark. Besrsely and the two
women roed in the wagon and Willis
walked on the side wax. Wills sp-
psrently got confused snd lost sight OF
the wagon and wandered about the
streets s. me time, but finally received
the proper direction and fastened
on 10 overtske the wagon. In
the meantime Besrsley had gone
on with the wagon and reached point
about Two miles south OF the river, where
be halted and wsited for Willis, who ar
rived out of breath and In towering
rage. He at once charged Besrsley with
attempting 10 run away with his wife
and niece This BearSley denied, and
said he and the women had been waiting
near AL hour for MIN. Without paying
any attention. TO this, Willis went 10 n
wagon, took from 1t dOuble-bsrrelied
shot gun and fired charge of buckshot

A RUGLE BLAST.
Democratic State Committee Join
the ChOrns Of KejOictDx-The Duty
Of the Democracy OF IPennsylvanis.

PHILADELPHIA, October l0-2A A. NJ
Chairman McClelland, OF the Democratic
State Committee, has issued this address:
To the Democracy Ct Pennsylvania:
The Republican organization is de-
fested in It's stronghold by an over
whelming majority. Ohio, the home OF
its President, has voted for the Democ-
racy. The Importance of this victory
cannot be overststed, tor in its wake Will
come the utter overthrow OF Radlcallsm
here. Disinteeration and defeat have
promptly followed the crime that denied
to the people their chosen President, and
the evidences ,tnsi surround you here
are full proof that Pennsylvania is pre-
pared 10 render similar verdict.
The prestige of the opposition Is gone;
their unity upon principle Is lost; their
leaders quarrel; their active men are dis
gusted with official management, and the
people dIstrus, them everywhere. The
utter loss of their political power will
now follow with rapid strides the ini-
tiative thus taken by Ohio. The country
owes debt of lasting gratitude to the
inder endent patriotic people who, re-
gardless of party, have joined the De-
mocracy to achieve this decided victory,
and the people OF Pennsylvania will
affirm the verdict of Ohio by tens OF
IN November. On behalf of
the committee,
VIM. MCCLELLAND,
Chairman.

The trial of the spirit msterlalizers in
Philadelphia has occupied considerable
attention in that city, and some of the
testimony given has shown at least q
perfect willingness on the part of the de-
luded ones to be victimized. The an
swer given to the question: "How do
spirits materislize2" was, "By gather
ing the particles of the atmosphere to-
gether with those taken from the medl-
um necessary TO form material substsn
ces." Now, If outsiders don't under
staEd all about it, it surely is Dot for
want of lucid explanation.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

This is the way ALEX. MCCLURE's
Philadelphia Times looks at it: The
stunning Democratic victory in Ohio
surpasses the highest hopes of the sue
cessful party and strikes the vapquished
dumb with amusement. 1t is not mere
defeat; it Is q revolution, and 1t leaves
the Repubhcanism that has woven the
greenest chsplets OF our history IN lt'
better days, In the stsrless midnight Of
hopelessness. 1t is idle to explain that
Greenback, Labor and Prohibition di
versions decimsted the Republican
party while the Democracy stood
in solid ranks when the de-
cisive battle came upon them. kepub-
licanism was disintegrated, not because
its voters loved Greenback, Labor or
Prohibition doctrines better, but because
they demanded some channel of egress
from the befouled Republican temple;
and the Democracy stood to their guns
because they were out OF power; because
they wanted to win power, and because
Republicanism opened its own gates for
the enemy to enter and overwhelm 1t.
The verdict of ONO is unmistaksble.
1t is crushing defeat for President
HAYES, and it comes from those who
should have been friends as well as from
co nsistent foes. 1t comes from incon-
gruous elements which found unity
without arrangement to strike the fatal
blow. He was hated for his faith to the
peace of the nation; he was smltten by
thousands who felt that he wears anoth-
er's crown, and he WAS deserted by
many because of the distruSted
leaders who gave him halt hearted
support and yet loaded HIM with their
friendship. Judge WEST opened the
campaign by fatal stab directed at h's
own vitsls, and the party foundered
under his awkward efforts to retrieve
his lrretrievsbe blunder. STANLEY
MATTHEWS YVES double milestone about
the neck of the President and dead
weight upon the tottering party, while
cross purposes and general spirit OF
vengeance within the Republican house
hold, made it an easy conquest for the
practically united Democracy.
Whether the majority for BISHOP shall
foot up twenty or thirty thousand mat
ters little. 1t is not less than twenty
and more is needless, for it carries the
Legislature and United States Senator,
and dates the final destruction of the de-
bauched Republicanism that was first ar
ranged at Cincinnati in 1872. 1t will
sweep down the last vestige of hopeful
opposition to Democratic success in Penn
sylvanls, and even Philsdelphis will
swing from her Republican moorings in
November.
