PMLADRLpliI6, October 5-Fiity or six
ty curious people gathered last evening in
the hall Of the Assembly Building, Tenth

Logan explode the "Gtea: Ross Bubble"
After some preliminary practiciug on the
piano by a young lady in bright red
basque, who apparently labored under the
delusion that "Maiden's Prayer" had never
before been heard by any OF the audience,
Mr.. Logan appeared in evening costume
aud announced himself as man who ney.
or asked any fIvors Of anybody, but al.
ways YVES ready to grant them to every.
body. Therefore, he would not be disap-
pointed Il his lecture did not produce the
desired effect upon the minds OF his hear
ers, because for nine years he had been
laughed at and called q crank. BE did
not care about such trifling matters, for he
had sworn to unravel he Charlie Ross
mystery and he would do co. crank or no
crank, ii it took him his lifetime.
MIR. Logan then proceeded to unfold the
rsslts OF bis researches in a rambling dis
course, which lasted over two hours and in
which he repeatedly charged that Charlie
Ross had beei stolen by his father,
Christian K. Ross. AT the close OF his
address Mr.. Logan asked his audience and
the influential meu Of Philadelphia to back
him up with their influence, so that he
could obtain q requisition from Governor
Pattison 10 bring Charlie Ross and his
present captor from vt. Louis, where they
are now living, to this city. This he de-
clares he could DO within ninety days.

RIcHMoSD, Va, October 5.-Mahone
made a speech at zuni, southampton
county to-day. The occasion was Coal.
ihon barbecue and oyster roast, which
had been extensively advertised for weeks
past. The meeting was largely attended by
white and black Coalitionists from this and
surrounding counties. Ex.Copgressman
Dezsndorf, who has been making 1t lively
for Malone in this State, announced some
time ago that he would be present at zuni
10 day and tell Malone to his face that he
had sold out to the Republican party In the
Senate In consideration OF the bestowal
upon him ti the federal patronage in
this State. Dezendod claims that Presi-
dent Arthur some time back admitted as
much to him. For some reason the ex-
Congressman did not put in an appearance
to-day, but may meet Malone later in the
canvass. Malone spoke for nearly three
hours. His remarks were confined almost
entirely 10 State matters. He spent much
Of his time in explaining to the negroes the
benefits bestowed upon their race by the
Coslitionists. Most ot thisspeech was made
up OF statements on issues already thread:
bare in this State. He seemed purposely
TO refrain from touching upon national
politics and questions. He commended
Arthur's administration for his liberal
treatment Of the State.
Southampton is Mahone's native country
and he is particularly anxious for his party
to be indorsed by the vote Of its people this
year. Malone carried 1t in 1881, but at the
local election in May 1t went against him.
A few weeks prior 10 that contest a white
MAhonite killed Strsight.out negro in the
Tha. fact was used with good
effect against the Mahonites in the May
els ction in Southampton, as well as several
other large negro counties adjoining it. |
The negroes were indignant at the murder
Of one oi their race and left Malone in |
troops. On Monday night Sam Prescott, a
colored Coalition leader, shot and killed a
Straight-out negro named Prescott at
political gathering at franklin, in South
ampton county. The murder has created
great indignation among that race in the
conniry and will. embarraes Malone in
his canvass. 1t was talked, ofamong the
negroes at the Zuni meeting today. It:ist |:
