Meeting or 5000 People, who wouId
Not be Denied His Presence.
CH1LlcorHE, O., October 4. The Re-
publican meeting held last evening in
front Of the Court House, which was
briefly addressed by Senator Blaine and
Hon. Chas. Foster, and at length by Gen.
Gibson, was the only mammoth affair in the
way of political meeting which has been
held in Chillicothe during the present
campaign. There was an intense desire
in the city to hear the distinguished orator
from the Pine Tree State, and large mum.
ber OF them had made preparations to at.
tend the meeting at Portsmouth, where
he was billed for speech in the after.
noon. After q while, however, q report
got atloat to the effect that arrangements
had been made whereby. the Senator
would speak In Chillicothe at the Gibson
meeting, in the morning, and the general
disposition TO go TO Portsmouth was &c.
cordingly abandoned.
After Senator Blaine and Gen. Gibson
left Portsmouth. Superintendent Peters, OF
the Valley Road, concluded that 1t would
not do to stop the train, which was reg.
ular one, for the Senator to come up into
the city, and dispatch conveyed this in.
telligence TO Chillicothe. Then there was
trouble again. Messages without number
and worded as strong as language could
make them, flashed over the wires and the
Superintendent and the Senator were
alike compelled to yield to the pressure.
A handsomely decorated rostrum was
erected in front Of the Court House, and
that building was magnihcently hung with
Chinese lantern and lighted with engine
headlights.
Upon the arrival OF the train, Senator
Blaine, Hon. Charles Foster and Gen.
Gibson were hurried into carriages and
driven rapidly to the Court House, where
an audience OF near 5000 people were
waiting to receive them. Senator Blaine's
speech was brief, but to the point, and
carried weight. Fosters vas signally
brief, but Gen. Gibson spoke for nearly
three hours, holding his vast audience
spellbound throughout its entire delivery.
All three Of the speakers produced an
excellent impression, and their speeches
will have their effect.

CHICAGO, October S.-A dispatch from
Gen. Merritt OF October 5, on Milk River,
was forwarded to General Sheridan to-

Payne's command at $50 o'clock this
morning. We found the command much

The casualties were twelve killed and
forty.three wounded. All the animals of
the command were killed, except l2 mules
and three horses OF the four companies OF

Capt. Payne and Lieut. Paddock are both

to my gallant officers and men for their
admirable conduct during the march. In
something like 4S hours my command has
marched about 10 miles over miserable

pany, To be used in connection with the
hotel elevator cab, was drawn up to the
top Of q well eighty feet high. The heavy
wire cables had been disconnected, and
nothing remained to hold the elevator but
a single line. .H..,.
The company to make the descent was
made up Of FIT. Adams, agent for the
improvement; ]. II. II. Williams, OF San

Of the house; John Williams and Samuel

ready, and the chosen eight were ID their
places; the inventor blew his whistle sig.
nal to come down, and In o trice the single
line holding the elevator was cleft In
twain, and the cab, with It's precious load,
went tearing down into the abyss below,
Those in the cab fell sixteen feet In the
FIRST second, thirty.two In the next, and
inside Of the third, with their hearts al.
most In their mouths, were brought up
with terrible crash at the bottom. A
feeling Of horror at once took possession
OF the assemblage. ~ 80 T'7' '.i
While the bravest were collecting their

covered with mortar, emerged from the
cab, pale and mystiaed. fhe other in.

Parker was found In 4 heap insensible on
the floor. He revived soon after. His
spine, head and legs are badly injured.
Robinson, the elevator boy, sustained a
severe bruise on the forehead, but soon
revived; but complained OF trouble With
his back and legs, hips and nose, while
DeYoung had bis spine aud head injured.
Nlllett was badly Injured on the back,
while the others were terribly shaken up.
Several gentlemen among the spectators
were cut by flying glass.
An investigation showed the cause Of

on the lower floor was not strong enough
