TANIMANY FOR CLEVELAND.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
New YORK, September {. 6.--John Kel-
ly invited the Tammany Assembly Dis
trict leaders to meet him this evening
in Tammany Hall, to talk over the po-
litical situation. In response to this in
vitation the twenty-four district lead
ers assembled in the big wigwam at
eight this evening. 1t was private
meeting. Mr.. Kelley opened it. He
said that he had called them together
because he wished to get their views as
to the course Tammany should pursue
in the coming election. The districts
were then called, and every leader eX-
pressed his opinion.
The talk was full and free. Several
of the leaders said that many of the vo-
ters in their districts were opposed to
Cleveland; some faYoring Butler and
others Blaine. They thought, however,
er, that Tammany could whirl most of
that vote into line for any ticket which
shemight support.
Several of the district leaders at first
objected to the Endorsement of Governor
Cleveland, giving as a reason the bad
treatment which Tammany had re-
ceived from his friends at the conven-
ton and since their return to New
York. The rest of the leaders thought
that Tammany should not bolt the Ma
tional ticket. 1t had always been a
Democratic organization, they said, and
| its true policy was to indorse Cleveland
and Hendricks.
After all the leaders had spoken, Mr..
Kelly was asked to give his views. He
spoke at some length. He referred to
Tammanys reorganization by the last
State Convention, and to the proceed
ings of the National Convention. He
thought that all differences should be
forgotten, and that Tammany should
support the regular Democratic Ticket.
'Tammany Hall has always been, is
now, and always will be a Democratic
organization" he said, "and as such
must indorsc the nominees ofthe Demo
cratic Convention. This must be done
not only as q matter of policy, but be.
cause we are Democrats and should be
consistent with our record. This sup.
port is meant in good faith,n he added
"Tammany always supports its candi
dates honestly, and will 60 to the polls
and vote for Cleveland Hendricks"
No formal vote was taken, but the
opinion was unanimous after Mr.. Kel
ly's speech that the organization should
support the Democratic ticket. The
Committee on organization will meet
tomorrow evening and appoint a com
mittee to prepare resolutions indorsine
Cleveland and Hendricks. Those res
olutions will be presented to the Tam
many general committee on Friday ev
evening next. An informal talk at to
nights conference brought out the fac
that the prevailing sentiment among
the dis ri4t leaders was that Tamman,
should run straight city and count.

WITH one hundred and forty millions
of surplus public money, taken from
the business and pockets of the people
by taxation, and horded in the treasu-
ry, is it any wonder that there is de-
preston of business and hard times I?
This money should not be collected
from the people annually, but should
be permitted to remain with the people,
Its collection is legalized robbery, and
should be stopped. There must be a
change, and every intelligent man
hopes there will be change for the
better, and cannot be any worse.

Dangerous SpOrt.a

DR.. Peck, of the surgical institute,
yesterday performed a surgical opera
ton on the leg Of IL young girl by the
name of Jordan, from Illinois, sent
here for treatment. The bones Of both
of her legs will have to be partially re-
moved, and the little sufferer will have
to submit to two painful operations.
The cause of her affection is from
jumping the rope" pastime engaged
in generally by young girls, resulting
in necrosis or death of the bone. The
doctor stated to Il reporter, in this con-
nection, that similar cases were con-
stantly occurring from the same cause,
but more frequently resulting IN ne
crosis Of the spine, and that there has
not been month passed but more or
less Of this character came to the III
stitutc for treatment. He says. that
rope jumping produces continuous con-
cussion of the joints which impinso
upon the bone, causing at the first stage
periosititis, and and finally reaultlng
in death of the bone. He thinks that
parents and teachers should be warned
of this dangerous sport, and eradicate
it entirely from the play grounds OF
children, as 1t is ruinous in Its effects,
and is the prime cause of more cripples
among the female portion Of the COM
munity than probably any ether cause
He also added that during the practice
of his profession deaths had been occur
ring coming under his observatior'
which We're the result of this, and SAID:
81 would warn children against rope
jumping, and would advise parents and
teachers to prohibit it under all cir
cumstances '-Indiaaapo1Ss Sentinel

A Boy Carried OFF by u Catfish .

Some time ago boy named Forbes,
living at Rock Falls, was fishing from
the dam and hooked IA catfish. He was
unable to pull it in, and after strug-
Cling awhile the fish turned and start
ed down the stream. The boy went
over the dam head first, holding to the
pole and started for the Mississippi
river, the lead. AS they passed the
paper mill some of the workmen SAW
the boy in the water and went to his
rescue in boat. They overlook him
and took him into the boat. He was
still holding the pole, and hooked to
the line was catfish, which they cap
tured The boy weighed eighty-fve
pounds, and the catfish thirty-fve
pounds nine ounces. Thus it is demon
strated that catfish can get away with
more than twice his weight Of boy.

The Story Of a Love Song.
A YOUNG MAN WHO HIT TIE POPULAR
FANCY AFTER GETTING THE MITTEN.

Upon one of the many hills sur
rounding this old Ohio city is a beau
tiful homestead which overlooks the
smoky e1panse Of the town and the
shining course of the Muskingum riv-
er. Thirty years ago young preach
er walked down this hill from his
home heavy at heart and weary of the
world. Two years before he had come
to GAINESVILLE fresh from the old COL
legiate institution in Columbus, as the
Rev. H. L. d. Webster. He soon fell
in love with Ellen Bloxom, the daugh.
ter of Judge Bloxom, who sang in the
choir of his church. He was privileged
as a pastor to call upon his fair Choir
lister at the home of her married sister,
Mrs. Henry Blandy. The young pen
nile.s preacher proposed marriage to
her and was rejected. The refusal was
given in a kind though firm manner,
and the young man persuaded himself
that his suit was denied because of his
poverty and the pride of the girls
family. He left GAINESVILLE, for he
could not be at peace where the wom-
en- he loved was shining in society.
In 1856 he moved to Racine, and
soon afterward wrote song and gave
it to J. P. Webster, the composer.
This song was the once popular "Lo-
rena." In it Webster wrote the senti-
ment. of his heart to the memory Of
the woman he had loved. People who
remember the songs of twenty years
ago will readily recall the opening
lines
The years creep slowlytby, Lorcna,
The snow is on the grass again
The suns low down the sky, Lorcna.
The frost CLEANS where the 1ow' RS have
been;
But the heart throbs on as warmly now,
AS when the summer days were nigh,
O!,, the sun can never dip so low
!Adown affection s cloudlcss sky.
In the days of the war the song took
a firm hold on the popular fancy. Sol
diers in the camps of both armies sang
the plaintive verses. 1t was the "An-
ME Laurie" Of America. The name
"Lorena was given to all sorts Of
things, and young ladies of to-day re-
spond to the same musical name which
sentimental mothers of that time be.
slowed upon them.
When it became known that Web.
ster wrote the song many of his &C.
quaintances in GAINESVILLE remembered
his love affair there and concluded at
once that Ella Boxom was the original
of Lorena. Miss Bloxon was married
to William W. Johnson, a young law
yer of Ironton, who had been educated
in GAINESVILLE, and who is now the
chief Justice of Ohio and the republi-
can candidate for select-man. Mr..
Webster, who has drifted about from
pastorate to pastorate, was recently
stationed in Oak Grove. lie also Is
married, having now wife and sever
al children.
