MASSILl0N'S MASH.

A Great Crowd Thronging the Streets OF
the Little Mining Fown-SOme People
Say 100, 900 People Were Present at the
Blaine HippOdrome Performance.
MAsSGLLON, O., October 8.-This is the
biggest political field day ever known in the
history of Stark county. At 10 o'clock the
streets were a dense mass of people, and
half the people had not yet arrived. The
Akron delegation alone numbered 1000
persons, and long trains arrived every few
minutes during the morning from towns
within a radius of 100 miles of Massil-
Ion. Nearly every business block and
private residence in town is decorated. The
streets are becoming simply impossible and
hundreds will be unable to find food or
lodgings. Upwards of 100000 people are
already thronging the streets. The NAM
mouth parade was to have started at ii
o clock, but the crushing mass of humanity
prevented any movement on the part Of the
procession. Mr.. Blaine and his party were
driven over from Canton in decorated car
riages drawn by four horse teams. He
arose this morning at 9;20 after refreshing
eep.
Tne procession moved shortly before
noon. Mr.. Blaine and party reviewed the
parade from large grand stand in the pub
lie square. There were over 10000 men
in line. Many of the banners and trans
parencies were novel. Portraits of Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield were displayed. Just as
the parade was closing heavy rain storm
swept over the town, and thousands Of peo.
pie were unable to secure shelter.
The Afternoon.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the procession
formed again and marching to the residence
of the gentleman who was entertaining Mr.
Blaine, escorted him to the speaker stand.
Republicans are jubil~nt over the affair and
Democrats feel satisfied.

The workmen in Oliver Brothers Pats-
burg Mills Not United as to wases-The
Outlook for n Settlement Not Good.
PIrrsBURG, October S.-Woods Run, Al
legheny, was on the tiptoe of expectation
to-day to learn the result Of the mill mems
meeting this morning, as it was expected
that some definite move would be made
towards settlement. 1t was intended to
hold an open meeting on a vacant lot op-
ppsite the Hartman House, and q crowd Of
more than 500 workingmen assembled at
this place shortly after o'clock By 3
o'clock the crowd got impatient and began
get through with it" Shortly after sn'clock
be held in the Hartman House, and
would be strictly private, no outsiders being
admitted. Two brawny mill men were
stationed at the foot Of the stairway and
two at the door Of the meeting room, with
strict orders not to allow anyone in who did
not belong there. Shortly after the meeting
opened two American workmen came hur-
riedly down down stairs looking anything
but pleased One Of them said: Those
cursed tools want to stand out for Sl.25 a
day, and keep other men out Of work, when
they know they cannot get that much.
There is more beer than brains up there
anyhow" he added as he hurried away.
When the meeting closed. the statement OF
the men as to the Sl25 demand was con-
frmed, although the officers of the meeting
positively refused TO impart any information.
All they would say was that a committee
had been appointed, but would not divulge
tie names.
The Meeting.
From one who was in the meeting full
account Of the proceedings was obtained,
the object for which they were appointed.
A motion was made that the men stand out
for 81 25 a day, the wages for laborers be
foie the reduction to $l.l2!s six months ago
As teeler, all who were in favor Of return
ing to work at the old wages, Sl.l2!, were
asked to step to one side Of the room, but
not man stirred.
A resolution was passed not to return to
work at the old wages, and the meeting adj
ourned.
Ii was very evident today that tSere is
dsaffection in the ranks Of the workm"n
and split will result il work is not re
sumed in day or so. The better class of
workmen do not favor the Socialstic views
of the German workmen, and want to re.
turn to work, and will do so on the first op.
portunity.
A number of the American vorkmen met
this morning and propose TO ioin together.

They believe this course would settle the
trouble at once, and all the men would re
turn to work. Nothing definite was done,
but some Of them express their determine

Document.

Betting on the General Resuit-No Bets on
West Virginia-A Few on ohio-A Blaine
Document.
WASHINGTON, October 8.-One of the
shrewdest and best informed sporting men
in this city remarked to-day that the betting
on the result of the Presidential election was
very unsteady. Said he: 'One day Blaine
is the favorite and in less than twenty-four
hours Cleveland has the call" All bets on
the general result are placed very cautious
ly. Sporting men prefer to bet on majori-
ties. Since the conventions were held there
has not been time when Cleveland was
not the favorite so far as New York
is concerned. Almost any Of the gen.
tlemen who frequent his place of business
will take all the even bets they can get that
Cleveland will carry New York. He now
has in his possession $500 which is to be
placed that way. He also has $500 belong
ing to another party which is to be placed
on the general result in favor of Blaine. A
number of small amounts have been put up
on the Ohio election next Tuesday. The
odds are to that the Republicans do not
carry the State by 10000 majority. There
have been no bets on West Virginia There
are number of gentlemen who will bet al
most any amount that the State will go
Democratic, but they cannot find takers.
A document intended for political use
has been prepared by direction of Senator
German, chairman of the National Demo
cratic Executive Committee, to be used
along Mr. Blaines route and in answer to
his protection arguments. 1t consists of
figures relating to wages tabulated from the
census reports, and, according to the fig.
ures presented, shows that the wages of
workingmen in this country employed in
all the principal industries fell off from 20
to 10 per cent. from 1870 to 1880. This
table is designed for distribution in Ohio

A Touching Sequel to the Tragic Death O
C',,rIaa Tnstar

A Touching Sequel to the Tragic Death OF
Charles Foster.
BROoELYN, October S.-A deeper shadow
was thrown upon the sad fate of Charles. Fos,
ter, who was killed by a panther on Boone s
Mountain, near Dubois, Pa, yesterday.
Gustave Bing, Of SO Grand street, formerly
a roommate of Fosters S, was the informant.
Mr.. Bing said that the hunting knife found
in the stomach of the panther killer by Peter
Bear on the mountain, last Friday, was one
that belonged to Foster. In Mr. Bing S
possession are few letters belonging to
Foster, which tell tale full of psthos.
The first letter. which poor Foster did
not live to mail was addressed to his
daughter, who is living in Baltimore. 1t
ran thus:
"MY DARLING GIRL-You have been sep,
arated from me since the death of your
mother, and l have now determined that
shall have you by my side. have little
money and am going to purchase home,
of which you shall be the little mistress
You are the only one have in this world to
love, and you may be certain that we shall
eat our Christmas dinner together.
Your loving father,
CHARLES FOSTER"
The Second.
The second which was unfinished, was
addressed to his mother in Wilmington, Del
Dear mother" it began, ut is such long
time since you have seen me that don't sup
pose you would identify me if you saw me
on the street But in q few weeks | am 60

nice little home for you and the little girl

around and although you may think my
heart is too hardened, yet every time !
enter a happy home and see the
father and his children playing
around him / can feel the tears rolling
down my cheeks But will have no cause
for envy when have you" Here the
letter broke Off And so at the moment
when the fair young girl who called him
father, and the aged mother, so long parted
from her son, were gladly waiting for the
summons to his home their loved one $
bones were whitening on the mountain
side.

of police to write the New York German
Consul yesterday to ask if Seitert was want

the skeletons are those of travellers robbed
