SPECIAL TO THE sENTINEIsI
PrTTsBURG, Oct. 3.-A World special
from Alexandris Bay, n. Y, says the
President arrived last Thursday with his
friend f. G. Dun, and went to the Cross
man House, where the parlor floor was
given up to him. The Summer guests
have gone, so the President has the whole
house to himself. THAT extra month,
during which was obliged to remain in
Washington" said he this morning, was
too much for me. I have been here before
and l like the place, and 1 am assured of
perfect quiet. Then, too, I am fond of
fishing, and have enjoyed the excellent
sport since l have been here, having been
out with my friend every day. On satur-
day l caught some fine bass and a muskal-
longe.' The President desires to avoid
and so has had but few callers
since his arrival. This steam yacht Minnie
was chartered by a friend and placed at
his disposal while he remains here. Each
day about II O'Clock he and Dun start out
in her to wing a couple OF boats, from
which they fish on their arrival at the
fishing grounds. To-day the President
caught 10 pickerel and bass. Thursday
next is the Presidents birthday--he will
be 50 wears old-and in honor of the occa-
sion Mr.. Crossmau has arranged a recep-
ton, which will take place after the return
Of the President from his sport on the
river.
Beecher on the Republican State
Ticket.
New YORK, Oct. 3.-Following is a full
account of what Beecher said in his SER
mon on Sunday night. He came out
squarely against the Republican State
ticket: He said Cornell had been set aside,
not because OF his vices, but because of
his virtues. 1t was the result of the sem
timent of %avarice. Let Folger be sent home
by the voters of the State of New York,
and you will never see the tricks played
at Saratoga repeated in any future conven-
ton of the Republican party. l AN also
opposed TO the ~meddling of the General
Government with local affairs of this or
any other State. The Federal Govern
ment should keep its hands off the local af-
fairs of the State of New York, especially
when the Chief Magistrate selects for his
counselors men who would be in State
Prison had they their just deserts. Ought
a man to sit on the Board of Police Com
missioners, in the city Of New York, who
is a notorious receiver of fees, and a bribe-
taker, and is il not a shame when the
Chief Magistrate of the nation takes such
men to his home and makes them his
chief counselors; men who, to say the
least Of them, are notorious for their want
of reputation? If they ask us what we
are going to do about it, l answe that
they will find out when the ballots are cast
and counted.
Not the Missing Husband.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. "a queer case is on
hearing here. VIM. Wacker Lee, once q
resident of California, insured his life for
"a, 600 some years ago. He afterwards
went to Texas, where he was reported
killed on a railroad. His widow went to
the scene, and had his body exhumed.
She Unidentified it and secured other proof.
The Insurance Company was not satisfied,
and refused payment. The case went to
the Courts. In the meantime a man has
been brought from California, who is rep
resented to be the missing husband, but
the wife has denied him. Many witnesses
Unidentified him as the missing man, in
Guiding one OF his brothers, who gave evil
dence in favor of his being the woman's
husband. Yesterday he went on the stand.
and told many circumstance connected
with their life. He was cross-examined,
however, but could not tell how many
children they had, where or when they
We're born, or the names of all of them.
The theory now is that he is Chris.

An Important Decision.

States Court Judge Turnkey decided that
a railroad company must honor its tickets,
whoever sells them, and that therefore a
ticket on its face entities the holder to the
rights Of a passenger between points
