Miscarriage of Steve Elkin'S Attack Upon q

"Among the multitude OF campaign storie

chickens had not found its way into print"

Near BY was a farm which was noted for its
fine chickens.

the chickens, and it would not do for the

raiding the chicken roosts and the farmer
was on the alert. He had hardly appeared at
his door when he blazed away with both bar

sElkins who was great big fellow, and
very clumsy, in getting down fell from the
tree, knocking the breath out Of himself. He
had hardly reached the ground when he was
captured by big dog, who held him fast

believing he might be put in jail. 1t was al
most impossible to get him to return To at
tend the exercises of his graduating class.
He had an Grafton to deliver that he took
great pains in preparing. The day before he
was to deliver it the Indictment was nolle
pressed and he gained complete confidence
in himself. Elkins prided himself upon his
oratorical powers, and expected to create
favorable impression upon his audience.
When he came to the part with the spread
eagle business one of the boys turned a
chicken loose In the hall. Elkins did not
exactly break down but the latter part OF his
speech was a failure.'

BAD WRECK ON THE GRAND TRUNK.
TORONTO, Sept. 25.-Three Pullman and
the private car of Chief Engineer Hannaford,
of the Grand Trunk express, for Montreal
and Boston, left the track near Pickering
station last night, owing to broken frog,
and went over'an embankment twenty-five
feet high. At the time of the accident it
was very dark, and the rain was pouring in
torrents and the crash of the falling
cars, the shrieks of the women and the
groans of the wounded, combined with the
darkness, made the scene horrible. The
horrors multiplied when Engineer Hanni-
ford's coach took fire. The flames burned
fiercely despite the pouring rain, and quickly
communicated to the Pullman coach that
came next, though the flames were here
stayed. large number sof towns people
quickly gathered and assisted in rescuing
the passengers from the burning Pullman
as quickly as possible. The passengers col
| lected together and the roll was called when
it was found that about dozen were injured
but none seriously. How all escaped is a
mystery. One of the coaches is smashed
into kindling wood. All were whirled over
and over several times, yet many escaped
absolutely unhurt, while most of the wounds
are of slight character. The injured were
taken to Whitby and medical aid procured.
! The damage to track and rolling stock is es-
timated at 100000.

FURNISHING THE CORPSE.
THAT Is WHAT FLETCHER SAYS THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE FOR
THE DEMOCRATS.
The "DoSs of Peace" Scheme of Ydgary
Conceived 6y the Gitl1allan Organ.

The Gilfllan organs, in their zeal to assure
their readers that the Republican congress
sional candidate has a certain thing, do not
scruple to prevaricate. The following ap-
peared in the Tribune yesterday under the
heading ''The Dove of Peace"
'In conversation yesterday with Tribune
representive, the Hon. Loren Fletcher said
in substance; II am entirely satisfied with
the outcome of the county convention and
the ticket placed in nomination by it. So
far as am concerned the war is over and
am in favor of doing everything that is hon
orable to promote the integrity, harmony and
success of the Republican party in this
locality. l am not disposed to place a
straw in the way of Mr.. Gilfllan as a candi-
date for congress and / shall take no other
attitude unless com PEELED to by the assault
of others. consider the action of the county
convention as a complete vindication of my
position in demanding that our temporary
congressional quarrel should not be lugged
into county politics. am now for peace.
1 think Mr.. Langdon also holds the same at
titude. 1t is time by-gones should be by
Cones"
SENATOR LANGDoN's VIEWS.
sMr. Langdon said to Tribune reporter
yesterday that the action of the convention
on Tuesday had satisfied him and he was
out of politics for the time being, anyhow.
He was going east but would return in less
than a month prepared to work hard for the
success Of the county ticket. When asked
if he would include the congressional ticket
in the above he declined to answer"
a representative OF the GLOBE found Mr..
Fletcher last evening and the following con-
versation ensued:
Reporter-Mr. Fletcher, didn't the Tribune
place you in wrong light, this morning, on
the congressional fracasl
Mr.. Fletcher-To say the least, the Tribltn,
stretched the truth nightly.
R.-Well, what is your positionl
Mr.. FL am not running Democratic
campaign, but Will say this much; we have
furnished you with the corpse, and if you
cannot bury it respectfully you are not as
sharp as you should be.
R.-You are right. But borrow no trouble,
the Democrats will erect fine, but cold
stone monument in November, to the mem
DRY OF a defeated Republican congressman.
Mr.. Langdon is out OF the city and could
not be interviewed, but the reporter was told
by many Of Mr.. LIS warmest persona
friends that the war would be carried int
Africa. When Gilfllan declared his inten
ton to run, and when Charley Johnson an(
the central committee practically endorsed
the candidacy, Mr.. Langdon declared tina
he should proceed to lay him (Gilhllan)
out" and to believe that Mr.. LangdoI
would back out before the fight is ended i
