Roller Skating Blink.

On next Tuesday evening at the Rink will
occur the finest exhibition of fancy skating
ever given in this city. Prof. VIM. E. Live
sey, the English champion, has been engaged
for that evening and will give one of his un-
paralleled exhibitions of fancy skating such as
was never witnessed before. The Professor,
who has been in this country little over
year, has skated in all the principal Kinks in
The country and is pronounced by competent
Judges to be the finest roller skater in Ameri-
Ca The movements of this skater present a
marked difference from previous ones, and he
is especially noted for the intricate movements
which he performs. No one should miss this
opportunity of seeing this marvellous skater.

Allegea Attempted bribery.

Democrats propose to carry Ward One by
bribery, if necessary, and that money will be
laid out in that ward in buying votes because
the DEMOCRATS think there is better chance
there, than in other Republican wards, of
electing their ticket They claim they shall
elect Democratic alderman in place of Mr..
ThurstoD, and Democl attic councilman in
place of Mr.. Kicker. If the Republicans in
that ward look sharp, and we think they will,
these prophets ''will prove without honor"
One THU is sure. The men who propose to
do the bribiDg win be closely watched and, if
detected, as they cannot fail to be, will be
dealt with according to law,

ABOUT fifteen thousand people witnessed
Judge Hoadly's temperance in the Ohio
campaign which was made at Cleveland.
The Judge was kept housed all the day pre-
vious and his speech was thoroughly revised
by the Democratic leaders who were fearful
lest he should commit new some of the dis
astrous blunders of which he was guilty be-
fore he was stricken with malaria. His
speech was largely an arraignment of the
Republican party and glorifcation of Dem
ocratic virtues. One of the most astound-
ing features of the arraignment was the ac-
cusation that the Republican party had been
false TO protection, and he asked his hearers
to vote the Democratic ticket because Re-
publican Congress had Withdrawn protective
duties to the amount of $35, 900. 900. He de-
tined his position on the tariff by borrowing
the lucid language of Democratic platforms.
In regard to the temperance question, he
said he favored a license system because the
control of the traffic would be more COM
plete than under any other plan, while at
the same time more adequate protection
would be furnished the dealer. His speech
seems to have been sufficiently committal
on the liquor business and non-committal
on everything else to please the majority
of the Democrats.

pushed with all their might. Women
caught in the crush shrieked, men swore,
and children trampled under foot cried pitt
fully. Not until half dozen more officers
lent their assistance was it possible to close
the gates, and then the crowd began climb
ing up on the stone coping and cambering
over the railing.
The ceremony at the grave was brief an
simple. Dr. Syle made few remarks and
preached sermon in the Chinese language
The coffin was lowered into the grave, nine
then nine handfulls of rice. The hard-faced
grave-diggers filed up the hole rapidly, and
when their task was finished the square
flags were planted at the head and foot of
OF the grave. The basket of provisions was
placed on the rude mound. and the stranger
10 strange land was buried according to
liberties and ceremonies of his forefathers.

Leon Abbett's challenge to the Republic
can press of New Jersey, to point out in his
legislative record an act of his inimical to
the interests of the people, bids fair to cause
that Democratic statesman a heap of trouble.
Not only.has it been shown that he opposed
including the name of Abraham Lincoln in a
vote of thanks after the capture of Richmond,
but also 1t is demonstrated from the record
that he sought indirectly to increase his sal
airy while member of the Assembly by vot-
ing that the members of that body be paid
In gold instead of greenbacks when gold
was $l.97, and that he left the speakers
chair and went on to the floor to oppose the
State prison reform bill, measure which
was designed to correct the abuses and ex-
trayagance which had grown up in the man
agement of the State prison. Mr.. Albeit
when he issued his challenge was either
strangely forgetful or imprudently auda-
cious
