The Buffalo Times, which earnest

candidacy, has had no answer yet to
its demand that the Governor deny
ex Senator Grady's charges of cor
ruption. In public meeting ex-
Senator Grady, delegate to the
Democratic National Convention,
and only two years ago leader on
the Democratic side in the Senate of
New York, said in public meeting:

Mr.. Blaine's speech to the people
of Lancaster, Ohio, on Saturday
night, in response to serenade, was
one of the happiest that could be i'm.
agined. His illusions to his school
days in that town; to Ewing, Stan
bury and Hunter, to Gen. Sherman
who chad come home from West
Point, a tall and very slender young
man, straight as an arrow, with a
sharp face and full suit of red hair"
to Gen. Grant who "about the same
time from a country town to the
southwest of this place was sent to
West Point to Phil Sheridan, ga
short, stout boy" who "livsd right in
the adjoining county of Perry" and
to John Sherman "who had just left
school and was civil engineer on
Muskingum river improvements,
made up the most attractive material
possible for a pleasant talk on such
an occasion. AS has been before re.
marked, Mr.. Blaine's aptness in
adapting his little speeches to the 10
calities in which they are made
giving to each spot something Of Pc
culiar historical or industrial interest
to that particular place-is one OF
the remarkable exhibitions of the
breadth and varied accomplishments
of the man. His short addresses
from car platforms, lumber piles, de-
pot steps and hotel windows, as he has
been whirled from town to town with
in the last fortnight, form a collec-
ton of curious historical scraps
which would be interesting at any
time or place, besides setting forth
in the most terse and epigrammatic
language the cardinal points of Re.
publican policy.-Detroit Post.

He was kept in conversation by spirit

The knot slipped round under his chin

slowly strangled. BY desperate effort
he got his right hand up to the rope and
tore the black cap from his face, ex-

eyes. After he tore the black cap away
his hand fell down by his side. Con-

Railway News Notes.

Mr.. Warder Cumming, Superinten-
dent of the Texas & Pacific railway,
possed through the city yesterday morn
ing en- route to Marshall, his headouar-
ters, from st. Louis.
IL is learned from an authentic source
that the Missouri Pacific will, on or
about the 10th, begin running through
trains from st. Louis to San Antonio Via
Dallas instead of making Fort Worth
the first main point for through trains as
is the case at present. The local accom-
mediation Hrain between this point and

about six hours apart. Through trains
will leave Fort Worth, going north,
about $ p. m, and Dallas at 9:2O D. m,
and will arrive at Dallas, going south
at a. m. and Fort Worth at 1880 n. M
Orders have been issued to put q COM
netent force to work on the line between
Dallas and Denton TO put the track i'm
good repair by that time.
Orders have been issued by the man
agement of the Texas & Pacific railway
for the building of a cutoff from Was
kouns Statlon, twenty miles east Of
Marshall, to point n
few miles below Shreveport
on the line of the New Orleans Pacific
Railway division of the Texas " Pacific.
The new line will be about fifteen miles
in length, and will shorten the distance
between Marshall anS New Orleans
about fifteen miles. This action on the
part Of the Texas Il Pacific is rendered
necessary by the fact that the lease on
the road between Waskoms
and Shreveport, which has
been operated by them for a
number OF years, will expire early the
coming year, and desire to have an in
dependent line of their own. The leased
road is the property Of the Vicksburg,
| Shreveport * Pacific railway, into
whose hands it will pass when the lease
expires. The building of this connect
ing line by the Texas & Pacific will he
of great advantage to that road, which Is
already the short line between San
| Francisco and Now Orleans, and enable
Them to handle ..bu.h passenger and
freight traffic n>fr 't,sfactorily and ex.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Aug. 1.-The
Greedy relief squadron arrived in sight
early this morning. The Alliance put
out at a. III. from Portsmouth with or
ders relative to holding the reception
Saturday, but Secretary Chandler had
since changed the time appointed to p.
m. to-day for naval reception in the har-
Dor. The programme as arranged for Sat
urday will be substantially carried out.
Mrs. Lieutenant Greedy arrived at noon
with General Hazen and party. Lieu
tenant Greely's mother is also
here. At just about sunrise this
morning the United States steamer,
Alliance, which has been stationed
outside harbor in expectancy of the
earlier arrival of the Arctic fleet, dis
covered a double line of smoke, and,
steaming out, soon became aware OF the
arrival of the Greely Arctic relief eXpe-
dition. The announcement of the Ali
ance was brought into play and gun
after gun thundered forth poals of well
come, to which the cannon of the Greely
boats responded, doubtless in grateful
recognition.
Shortly the Alliance came within
hailing distance of the approaching
steamers, and with bells ringing and
whistles screeching, the Alliance hailed
the Bear and the Thotis.
Shortly after sunrise the Bear and the
'rhetis and the Alliance steamed to Il
point off the isle of shoals, where the
first Stage of the homeward voyage OF
the Greedy Relief expedition was fin
ished' Gracefully they came into the
harbor with yards squared and stacks
pouring forth clouds of smoke, fully
twenty-four hours before the fleet had
| been expected.
There was little about the three YES
sells to denote the severe experience
which two of them had passed through.
| When it became known that the Artic
squadron had arrived outside
the harbor the excitement on
board OF the men-oi-war at
