MILWAUKEE, Sept. 16.-Last night a mob
of several hundred men and boys made an at
tack upon the rink, one of the largest and fin
est buildings of its class in the country, and
RACED it to the ground. The police did not

The city has had trouble in getting the lessee
to surrender his lease in order that an exhi-
bition building might be built on the ground

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE weather is beauti-
fUl and the streets along which the procession
is to pass and the adjacent thoroughfares are
so crowded that it is Difficult. to move on
them. Business is entirely suspended, and
there is every indication thai the memorable
Bunker Hill celebrations will be dwarfed
when compared with to-day's events. The
literary portion of the celebration was held
in the old South church at $40 o'clock. The
governor of the state and mayors of cities,
invited guests of the city, occupied platforms
extending the entire length of the church.
Mayor Prince delivered an grafton, the deliv-
cry of which occupied two hours, and at the
conclusion the mayor and guests were taken
in carriages and escorted In line of process
sion.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE following was
received this morning at the headquarters of
the national democratic committee from
Portland:
Returns from 46s towns gave Plaisted 10,
019 and Davis 70,69S, a republican majority
of go. There are still So towns and planta-
lions to be heard from, which in 1876 gave
342 democratic majority, and will now give
more than 1000. The republican papers
pretend to claim a majority for Davis, and
are trying to confuse the retur ms to assist in
the attempted fraud, but there is no doubt Of
Plaisted's election.

dred feet of rope piled upon them. Three o

are dead. 1t will be some time before thu
others can be got out.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Gorham, of Califor
MIA, has just returned from stamping thu
state of Maine, and was interviewed yester
day. He believed that the result, although
not equal to what was expected by the repub
licans, would inspire them to work. He as
cribed the republican defeat to the lavish ex
penditure of money by the democrats, and tt
the fact that the latter supported the green
back nominee without any assurance from
him that he was at all in sympathy with tn
democratic party. Plaisted he described as
republican who had accepted the %greenbacl
nomination because he felt that he had beef
sighted in the distribution of offices in hi
own party. He felt certain that neithe
Weaver nor Plaisted would do anything tina
would be likely to let the democrats gain an.
electoral votes in Maine, as they are both re
publican-greenbackers.
