CLEVELAND IN BUFFALO,
A Warm Welcome by HIS Fellow Glitter
His Speech.

BUFFALO, Oct. 3.-Not more than two
hundred people gathered at the depot in
Albany to see Gov. Cleveland off foI
Buffalo, his home, yesterday. Not a
word was spoken, not cheer was heard,
and the spectacle is decribed as painful
even to his political opponents. At Utica,
Syracuse, Batavia and Rochester brief
halts were made, and the Governor was
greeted by large crowds of people, to
whom he bowed his acknowledgements.
On the arrival in Buffalo it was s O'Clock
and rain was falling heavily, but the
streets were thronged and the city was
illuminated. The sight was brilliant
one. Governor Cleveland was escorted
to the Genesee House by procession
several miles in length, and was there
presented to the people. He responded as
follows:
Fellow. citizens: l can hardly tell the
people of Buffalo how l rejoice tonight,
and how grateful am for the demonstra-
ton of the confidence and esteem of my
friends and fellow citizens.
have resided among you in this city,
where all my success in private life has
been achieved, for nearly thirty years.
Tonight come to you after the longest
absence that has occurred in all that time;
and yet, within the few weeks tlrat have
passed since | saw you last, an event has
happened of supreme importance to me,
and that places me within the Nation s
gaze. The honor it has brought to me ]
ask my fellow townsmen to share, while
[ acknowledge with grateful heart
all that they in the past have done for me.
Applause But two short years age
you stood steadily by my side in every eff
fort Of mine as the chief executive of ou1
city to advance its interest and welfare.
Whatever l was able to accomplish oil
value to this community was largely due
to your strong and intelligent support.
Nor can l ever forget the generous in.
dorsement you gave my candidacy fo1
the high Office which l now hold in the
State; and assure you that in its admin.
istratlon have received no greater en-.
cOuragement than the approval Of my
friends at home. What have seen and
heard to night has touched me deeply.
1t tells me that my neighbors are still
my friends, and assures me that | have
not been altogether unsuccessful in my
efforts to deserve their confidence and at
tachment. In years to come shall deem
myself not far wrong if still retain their
good opinion; and if surrounding cares
and perplexities bring but anxiety and
vexation, shall find solace and comfort
in the memory ofthe days spent here, and
in recalling the kindnesses of my Buffalo
friends. But other friends are here to-
night aud to all who tender me their

AT the Chmaber OF Commerce.

At 1890 Mr.. Blaine was escorted to the
Chamber of Commerce, where he was
very warmly received. Mr.. Blaine said:

NEEDLES IN A woMAN,s BODY.

LoCKPoRT, Oct. 3.-Mrs. Seeley, liv-
ing the town of Sardinia, some time sin ce
complained of pain in her arms. A ply
stefan discovered that there were needles
in the muscles. He made sore,
applied poultice, and a few days
afterwards took out several needles.
The other arm was similarly affected, and
was similarly treated, with like results.
At last accounts he had taken from the
woman's arms forty-six needles. All
were broken. Some had fine points, and
others were broken at both ends, resem-
bling pieces Of wire. The woman claims
to be unaware of how or when the nee
dies were introduced into her system.

No. 2773, of Harrisburg, and Swatara

were also present from Mechanics
burg. The funeral was largely at

known in this community, and highly
respected for his probity. There was
no more familiar parsonage than I'm
Gle Davy upon our streets, known
and respected by all. He was an old
member Of Wesley church, and much
indignation exists here against Rev.
Bell, of Wesley church, who not only
refused to officiate at the services, but
refused to allow the remains to be
inferred from the church, because Of
a refusal of the relatives to comply
with his request to bury the deceased
on Saturday. Notwithstanding the
heavy shower which took place on
the afternoon Of the funeral, a large
number of persons paid their best
respects to the deceased. M. V. u.
J. w. Simpson, conducted the beau
tilul and imposing services of the
Order, assisted by NJ. V. P. J. T.
Compton. The eulogy was delivered
by Rev. Drew, of the Bethel church.
There wus nothing to mar the
deep solemnity Of the hour, but the
pastor of his church refusing to bury
him, or to allow the corps to rest in
his church. His reasons were as
follows;
1. 1t is sin to bury the dead on
Sunday.
2. The Odd Fellows only wanted
to make frolic out of the funeral.
3. He was opposed to Sunday fun
erals.
4. The widow and Odd Fellows
had no right to set the day and hour
without first consulting him.

A Marriage That Was Postponed.

Staid old Harrisburg has its social SEN
sat:ons and romances just the same as
larger and more pretentious cities. The
last to come to the surface was brought to
light by the arrest of progressing
young man for beating several landlords
out of board bills. He was a plausible
chap and told several likely stories He
also was an adept in the refined art of
love making, as it appears since his incar-
ccration in the county Jail that he was en-
gagged to an attractive young lady on Boas
street and was to have married her yester-
day. She is reported to have first met
him in New York. The parents are said
to be opposed to the match, but the girl is
inflexible and declares she will marry him.

Most of these adventures, however. are
