enveloped in mystery. Lieut.. Schwatka
found q skeleton of ole of Sir Johns
men about FIVE miles from the spot where
the box was discovered. They spent
the summer and fall of last year in
thorough search of King Williams Land
and the mainland near the mouth of
Backs River. They travelled over the
route taken by the crews of the lost ships
in their last toilsome and fatal journey,
and buried several skeletons that had
thus far been denied sepulture. Frag-
ments of the boats which the men had
attempted to drag with them. and one
of the drag ropes were found and brought
away. They also brought the remains
OF Lieutenant John Irving, third officer
of the Terror, prize medal found in his
grave having served for their indentifi-
cation.
1t is worth noticing that most of the
stories told by the Esquimaux of the
fate of the white men who visited their
country thirty years ago have been in
one way or another corroborated by the
discovery Of relics. We may therefore
accept as true their statement that one
of Sir John Franklin's ships drifted down
Victoria Straits, and was scuttled and
sunk by the natives off Grand Point in
1919. Whether this was the Erebus or
the Terror cannot be ascertained, nor is
anything known of the fate of the other
vessel; but the fact that one of them was
sunk disposes of the myth that the two
OF them were seen by some mariner in
1851, fast locked in an ice foe, drifting
about in the Northern Atlantic. Lieut..
Schwatka and his men returned to De-
pot Island last March, and narrowly es-
capped death by starvation, the Eothen
having neglected to leave store of pro-
visions The Arctic regions will con-
tinue to be a favorite field for daring ex-
plorers, and some future expedition may
find the hiding place of the Erebus or
Terror, but the chances of such discov-
cry are very remote, and we may reason
ably conclude that the sad history of Sir
John Eranklin's attempt to find the north
west passage is now finally closed.

OR, RATHER, WITH NONE AT ALL.

WARREN, Sept. 30.-The agony is over,
the greatest effort of the republicans in
the Ohio campaign is past and Garfield
is not saved. The greatest of all repub-
lican travelling shows, with Grant as
ringmster and Conkling in his unparal-
leled Illusion act, gave an exhibition here
to-day to large crowd and the specta-
tors are probably the most disguised lot
of people to be found in this county,
GraItl.nd Conkling, the greatest of re-
publican stars, were brought here into
Garfeld's own district to boom a big
boom for him 80 as to brace him up at
home, where he sadly needs it on account
of the disaffection and luke -warmness
among republicans. The meeting though
large, was cold and clammy, no inspira-
tion seized the mass of people, while the
speeches were the dampest damp blank
cts imaginable. Grant could not be
heard ten feet away, the shorthand
reporters even couldn't hear him. After
he had spoken about half minute he
took roll of manuscript from his pocket
and read the balance of his piece. From
those who we're in the very front row it
is learned that he did not refer to Gar
field in any way, shape or manner. The
people were anxious to know whether he
would or not and to say that they are
terribly disappointed because he did not
is expressing it mildly. Nor did Conk-
ling mention Garfeld's name or say a
word or give the remotest hint in favor
of him, which was double disappoint-
ment as it was supposed that was what
he was brought here for. Then his
supercilious, naughty, maddenirg man
ner disgusted everybody. To cap the
climax, neither Garfield nor Arthur was
here, although both were advertised
Grant, Conkling & Co., left after the
meeting by special train for Mentor,
where they proposed to make brief cali
because they couldn't very well help it.
| A great pressure was brought to bear on
them to spend the night at Lawnfeld,
for the purpose of conference, reconcilia-
| ton and harmony. But they stubbornly
refused, though they consented to make
this flying call to rather take the curse
off and will then push on to Cleveland to
spend the night. Strenuous efforts were
made to persuade Grant to stop over in
Cleveland tomorrow night to preside at
the meeting, with Conkling as speaker.
But he refused and stated that he will
leave your city to morrow morning for
| Chicago.

Put Only Safe Men ON Guard.

From the brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Garfield said, among other things,
the other night:
"And the Republic rises on the step
ping stones of its dead heroes and great
struggles to a higher and purer and
better National life.- Hence, we must
stand guard over our past as soldiers (;
we must stand guard over our past as
patriots we must stand guard over our
country as the coming heritage and
blessing of us ALL
Well, it seems TO us that the man
who stood guard at Gettysburg can be
trusted to do all this quite as we'll as

* than the war.

The death of exGov. Bigler is much
regretted here. Few men in this country
have led such blameless lives as Gov.
Bigler, and when his services are reck-
oned up, he will be classed with Benton,
Buchanan and Lewis Cass, with more
humility than the one, more honesty of
word than the other, with the same
great love of country as the third, and
greater, kindlier hearted than all three
put together. Peace to Lewis Cass, rest
to Buchanan, honor to Benton, but all
these doubled with love and gratitude
to the memory of William Bigler.

goes into action he achieves his purpose
and comes out with smaller list of
casualties than any of them. Bold he
is, but not rash. Why, gentlemen, do
you know what his record was at West
Point ?"
And Mr.. Lincoln went to his book
shelf and, taking down an army register,
showed the position in which Hancock
had graduated, and that, furthermore,
in O class that was one of the most
distinguished that ever graduated at
the military academy. Continuing to
speak of him in the highest terms, he
further said;

An Appalling Railroad Disaster.

NINETEEN KILLED AND FfYTYFfvE IN.
JURED ny AN ACCIDENT ON THE WEST
JERSEY AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD
LAST WEDNESDAY.
The sensation Of last week was the
fearful accident, on Wednesday, at
Mays Landing, on the West Jersey
and Atlantic Railroad. Thirteen hun.
dred persons went on the excursion of
the st. Ann's Literary Society, of Phil.
adelphia, to Atlantic City, n. j., that
morning. At 6 p. NJ, the train started
to return. IL was in two sections, the
latter, consisting of eight cars, only
two minutes behind the first section,
which consisted of sixteen cars. While
on the bridge over the Egg Harbor
River, seventeen miles this SIDE OF At.
lantic City, the section in the lead
stopped TO switch on side track TO
make way for the 5.l0 down express

Fifteen persons were killed, four have
since died, swelling the number of
deaths to nineteen, and fifty.fve were
more or less injured. II is said the
rear section OF the train should have
been at least FIVE minutes distant from
the first section. and as the distance was
only two minutes, the conductor and
engineer of the second section have
been arrested for manslaughter.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
From our regular Correspondent,

From our regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. l6, so.
Both the committees, Democratic and
Republican, have now got down to hard
work and are stretching the traces on
their respective sides. Here, above
every other place in the country, the
Republican campaign committee ought
to be jubilant and happy. But they
don't seem to have an excess of good
feeling. The Democratic concern has
been in good shape all along. There is
more talk about Pennsylvania than
there has been for a long time. The
eagerness for news is greater than it has
ever been here at this stage of cam.
paign. The correspondence received at
the Democratic headquarters indicates
deep determination TO win. Old Dem.
ocrats often ask why is it Pennsylvania
is now considered such solid Republi.

days they used to rely on old Pennsyl
vania coming in with her good Demo.
cratic majority as surely and certainly
as we now look TO Kentucky or Mis-.
souri,. The fact is Pennsylvania on a
general count up has supported the
Democratic nominees for President
oftener than any other northern State.
She strikes her colors to none of them.
A rather curious table has been pre-.
pared showing how many times the
several States have voted for and against
the Democratic candidates for Presi
dent. Pennsylvania has voted 13 times
for and against New York, II times
for and 8 against; New Jersey, 10 for
and l0sgainst. Pennsylvania has voted
for the Democratic nominees for Presi
dent oftener than any State in the
Union with but four exceptions, viz
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Virginia. She outranks Kentucky in
her support OF the Democratic candi
dates. Kentucky has voted IL times
for and against the party. Up to the
breaking out Of the war Illinois was :
steady Democratic State. She has cast
her vote 10 times for the Democratic
candidates for President, and s against
them. Illinois got demoralized on the
Douglass and Buchanan fght, and has
been Republican ever since. James w.
sheehan, who was Douglass right bower

owned, in answer to some cool advice
from Pennsylvania editor, replied
