THE GRAND STAND ITEM.
FIFTY Persons injured. by a Crash at
CEsiilicoIIar. Chic.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, May l2-Ten persons
were seriously and about forty slightly
injured by the falling Of the grand stand
at the baseball park near this city. The
first of the Ohio league games was being
played between the Lcgans of this city and
the Riversides at Portsmouth. About 800
people were in the grand stanI, one-third
of them being ladies' At the end of the
second inning a cracking was heard at
the rear of the building, and imme-
diately afterward the entire structure col
lapsed with tremendous crash. A scene
of indescribable confusion occurred. Pale
faced, horror stricken men rushed to the res
cue of tia unfortunates in the wreck. Every
body was wild with apprehension, but cool
headed men instantly set about releasing
those buried in the ruins, and in a few
minutes al had been liberated, or had sue
ceeded in lbarating themselves. Most exag-
gerated reports reached the city, and in a few
minutes a stream of hacks, carriages and
people rushed to the ball park.
Fortunately none were killed, although
some may die. To add to the horrors of the
affair the horses attached to carriages in the
field came near stampeding, and but for the
strenuous exertions of a few cool men another
catastrophe might have trod on the heels of
this one.
The total casualties foot up about fifty.
The greatest wonder is that some one was
not killed. The timber used in the stand was
very light, but the carpenter, Moses Miller,
in turning it over to the club, said he would
stake his reputation as carpenter on its Sc
curity. That he did not do his work properly

CINCINNATI, May 12--The Euquirer's spe-
cial from indianapolis has the following:
Something of stir was raised among the
Hendricks following over a report that Maj
Farley, of Springfield, Ohio, had returned
from a visit to Tlden, bringing the informa-
ton that the sage of Gramercy park is will
ing to be candidate for the presidency,
but that he was not willing that Mr.. Hen
bricks should go upon the ticket with him
Further, that nothing but the fear that he
woult advance the interests of Hendricks
had kept him quiet so long. Maj Farley is
also credited with saying that Ttlden wants
Payne, Hoadly or Bookwalter, of Ohio or
Mcdonald, Of Indiana, giving preference to
PAYNE and Bookwalter.
There were evidences that the Calkins and
Dudley booms for governor are on the wane
and there is a disposition in some quarters to
take up ex-Congressman Baker, of Elkhart,
as a compromise candidate. The objection
to Calkins is in his anti-temperance senti-
ments, and to Dudley in his wellknown pro-
hibition views, besides which the personal
feeling between their respective factions
makes the nomination of either a delicate
matter.

CINCINNATI. May l2-"Gath," telegraph
ing to The Enquirer says:
still think, though am liable to change
my statement if the events correct me, that
the Republican nomination is liable to go TO
either Gresham or Lincoln. do not believe
that Eimunds will be found available. He
has been at different times a corporation
lawyer and an anti-corruption legislator. He
has not the we'll harmoniZel clements of
character which make good executive
chief, and, while he is a very well
informed man, he has curiosities
of disposition; bordering on crank
iness. At ne tine has he been called
forward where he can show the relations of
his temperament to the multitude, the COM
bined pliancy and firinness which constitute
so much of executive influence If l am
right in my supposition that Gresham and
Lincoln will finally divide the Republican
vote, should think that the sentiment of
the convention would go toward Lincoln
while the reason and information of the con-
vention would turn toward Gresham. But
am not overlooking the fact that Senator Ben
Harrison is to be in that convention, and that
he occupies remarkably good relations with
the Blaine interest and with the Sherman in
terest. | discovered this, as far as Sherman
is concerned, by a few words had with
Amos Townsend a few months ago. Three
years ago discovered from one of the most
intimate friends of Mr. Blaine that the Blaine
interest was partial to Harrison. 1t is sup
posed that Harrison and Gresham have not
9layed into each others hands much, but
hardly think think that there is enough ami
mostly between them to amount 10 any
great rupture. Gresham is little handi-
capped by Arthur, who has got him into the
cabinet, and is gaining upon Gresham's sense
Of chivalry Either Harrison or Gresham
would suit the Republican masses very well.
Harrison's name is almost as good as Lin
coins, and Gresham without any effort has
succeeded at Washington in being admired
By everybody. He has not the least element
of Pharisee in him, and he has not Harrison's
indifference to friends Both these men
stand high up in firmness of character, self
understanding, training, and both were in
the war like men. Bob Lincoln was in the
war. l was talking the other
day with George Gorham, who said
How strange to see Bob Lincoln coming up
for the presidency, and having the vice presi-
dency already within his grasp as far as our
nomination goes. Why" said Mr.. Gorham,
seen. Grant told me that while he was in the
army Bob came ont Of college, and Abraham
Lincoln said to Grant: L would like Bob to
go on your staff, if you have no objection.
He wants to have some interest in the war.
don't know that he can be of any use to
you, and l viii not ask you to take him il
You have any hesitation whatever Grant
said, Send him along and Bob Lincoln
went on the staff, and Grant says he was

Non. Union Mouldsrs Fired Upon by
Masked Men.
QUINCY, Ills, May 12.-While the nom
union moulders were going to work in
wagons Saturday morning under guard Of
policeman in each wagon, the first wagon
was attacked by some twenty masked
men at the foot of Washington street. The
team was stopped, when the rioters began
firing into the wagon. Padeford, the driver
of the express wagon, was shot in the wrist
and one non-union molder in the arm. The
others jumped out and escaped
LATER--The excitement is getting to fever
heat The Wabash train, due at 1850,
brought in another lot of non-union men.
The strikers were posted and were at the
depot. A telegram was sent for the men to
get off at the "Y," a mile north of the depot,
but the strikers heard of it and were there
as soon as the train. When
the men got off rocks began to
fly and shots were fired. Several were hit;
one was knocked off the platform and is very
dangerously beaten. Dick MeAffee, who had
charge of the non-union men, drew his re-
volver and returned several shots. Unless
the officials show more determination to
quell matters, a serious riot is imminent. The
bad element among the strikers is ap
parently going to lead to mischief

Confidence in Gen, Logan.

WASHINGTON CITY, May l2.-While the
Arthur and Blaine boons are being pushed to
the utmost, and will be for the next three
weeks, the friends here of Gen. John A.
Logan express growing confidence that, in
the final outcome, he will be the nominee of
the Chicago convention. 1t is known posi-
lively that he is the second choice of many
of the Arthur men in the southern dele
cations, and nearly all the Blaine men in the
eastern and western delegations. A
strong Logan man remarked at the Briggs
house that: at is now plain that
neither Arthur nor Blaine can get votes
enough, bat we can count on enough of the
friends of both Arthur and Blaine who will
be ready TO go for Gen. Logan, if they can't
have their first choice, to insure the generals
nomination" And he added very emphati-
cally, "Gen. John A. Logan will be the nom
inee and the next president of the United
States that is now the most likely thing to
happen that will happen"

New YORK, May IA rumor was cur
rent on the street that Jay Gould was il
difficulties. The report was widespread, and
for time was quite generally believed. The
great financier was not to be found in his
Office, and he was intlustriously hunted for
by armies of messengers from those who
would be likely TO be affected by his down
fall. Latter on in the day the rumor was
authoritatively denied.
NEW YORK, May 12-Numerous inquiries
reached the city in regard to the financial
condition OF Jay Gould, as he vas reported
to be in difficulties. Gould was sought and
an explanation requested. Mr.. Gould said:
"This question is not the only one of the kind
asked here. A Wall street news agency set
atioat entirely unfounded state
men5 that Union Pacific would pass the July
dividend This was dore from a set purpose
to influence Union Pacific stock There was
not even meeting of Union Pacific direct

on the street that there would be an attack

pose the information on which your
inquiry is based was telegraphed
broadcast over the country. | have received
numerous dispatches inquiring INTO the truth
IF the statement that l was in financial diff
sulty. 1t is needless to say there is not a
word of ruth IN it. The whole purpose of
the rumor was to create a Generalization
in the market, so that purchases could be
madeR BY heavy buyers at reduced figures"
Il am inclined to think" added Mr.. Gould,
with twinkle of the eye, and glancing
toward the ticker, chat they were disaP-
pointed. Both the stocks named are firm, and
my information is that buyers are strong
men"
An intimate friend of Gould informed re-
porter that he Could had recently given
substantial aid tomany who were crippled by
the late troubles in Wall street, and has been

story of his financial difficulty ridiculous
