The Democrats Raise a Banner.

The Democrats rallied on the Green last evening with torches and plenty of red fire. Some of them had brand new uniforms, which looked pretty. There were few transparent cies. The town pump furnished the enthu- siasm for the occasion After marching around and making more or less noise the small boys fell in and marched down Chapel street. First came an advance guard of boys, all said to be for Cleveland; next carriage; more boys; Landrigan's band; Mitchell Pha- 1anx; Mitchell Guard; small boys; Mitchell Escort, Seventh ward; William J. Mills Els cort Seventh ward F. s. Andrew Escort; Sixth ward Mills Zouaves; German York Phalanx; Cleveland and Reform Phalanx; rear guard of Cleveland boys.
 There was some fire thrown away on the march down Chapel street. The procession passed over Tomlinson's bridge. When that structure was reached the column -haked and some one proposed that all the banners, torches, etc., be pitched into the water and the boys and men go in swimming. The mo- ton seemed popular, but an ''old liner" or dered the band to play and the column pro ceeded to the old stone house on the east shore, where the banner was raised
 J. B. Sargent presided over the meeting. He mad @ short address and introduced Congressman an Mitchell, ,who made an effective speech. Charles H. Fowler and Sylvanus Butler also made short speeches. George F. Holcomb of the Board of Public Works was serenaded by the Mitchell Guard at his resi- dence on Chapel street. He acknowledged the compliment by few fitting remarks.

Death and Devastation I'm Its Track.
 CLEAR LAKE, Wis, Sept. 10.-Late yester- day afternoon cyclone struck this place and awful devastation was the result. The great CT portion of the town is in ruins and three lives were lost. The scene after the storm passed over was horrible in the extre1ne. Men, women and children were running about in a perfect frenzy of excitement and fear Here and there people could be seen coming out of their cellars almost paralyzed with fear One house was taken from it's foundation and turned completely around. A large barn was blown away, leaving only the floor and managers, with the horses peace fully eating their supper. A little child was taken up by the tempest and landed in the branches of tree but slightly injured One large frame housewas blown completely out of sight; not one particle of house or furni- ture could be found, though search for a mile in the track of the storm was made. The family had fortunately taken refuge in the cellar Many families are left destitute, not vestige of their worldly possessions remain iOo

VICTORIA AND HEB scMILLING.

The Young People Married and Try ing to Appease the Angry Papa.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 10-Captain Mangin of Tonkers, two of his officers, Inspector Byrnes and half dozen Central office detec- tives secured the city last night for Miss Vic toria Morosini, the blonde daughter of Jay Gould's colleague, and her fathers coach man, E. J. Schi1ling. To-day they discover
 ed that they had reached New York ealry
 last evening and were married by Baptist minister in East Fifty first street for $6. On the discovery, Inspector Byrne sent out the i following general alarm: 'Vietoria Morosini and E. J. Schi1ling married. They cannot be arrested.'' It is said that Schilling ! is of noble birth but is impecunious and Miss Victoria, it is stated, met him first at Delmonico's where he was em- pIoyed as waiter. The supposition is that he went into Morosini's employ as coach man in order to be near the young lady. She I has, it is said, magnificent voice, and the probabilities are that unless Mir. Morosini relents and takes the couple into his home now that they are married she will go on the stage as an opera singer, as she has often ex- pressed such desire and intention. The young lady, it is said, had thousands of dol lars worth of diamond jewelry which she
 
 The marriage was performed by the Rev. Mir Hauser, German Methodist minister, in
 his home in East Fifty-ffth street about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. In answer to
 the clergyman's questions the bridegroom gave the name of John Ernest Hulskamp, which indicates that the name of Schilling was an assumed one. He said he was thirty one years old, born in Germany. The bride gave her name as Victoria Agnes P. Morosini. She said she was born on Staten Island; that her fathers Christian name was Giovini and that her mothers name was Julia. Huls- kamp said he was anxious to catch the night boat for Troy (which leaves at six o'clock) and After waiting a little while he became ner- vous and got up and went away on foot, ac- companied by his wife. The parties being of full age MT. Hauser had no reason to sus- peet them. Inspector Byrnes said the couple did not go to Troy and that he knew that they had passed last night in this city. He declined to tell where they put up.

A Card.

In what hitting words can thanks be ex-
 pressed to the gentlemen of the New Haven
 Steamboat company for fulfilling the prom
 ise of last year and again taking the family
 of the New Haven Orphan asylum out upon
 the water Clear skies and warm breezes
 tended to make a perfect day. With evi- dent desire to have the excursion reach and do good to as many possible, the Elm City was filled with an orderly and happy company. All that studied forethought could accomplish was done to make all on board comfortable. Every expressed want was supplied with alacrity and every one in the employ of the company seemed pleased to render needed service. The band of mu- sic, which was employed by several inter ested gentlemen, played at intervals through out the day. It drew together large and ap- preciative crowds, and was exciting and ex- l hilarating to the children. The piano which was loaned proved useful accompaniment | to those who wished to sing. The ice cream and peaches, supplied in large quantities l through solicitation, were most acceptable on 1 so hot a day The gentlemen and ladies who ! helped in the care of the children rendered l invaluable service. Hearty. thanks are ex- l tended to all.

THE TOBACCO CROP.
The Best in Growth and Quality fo
 Many Years.

The Best in Growth and Quality for
 Many Years.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 10s-Exhaustive reports on the tobacco crop from 800 core spondents of the New England Homestead, covering all the seed leaf tobacco growing sections of the United States, indicate that the crop now nearly harvested, is the best in growth and quality that has been raised for years. The total average may be slightly less than in 1883, but the proportion of Ha- vana seed leaf has greatly increased. Fully thirds of the entire seed leaf crop is of the Havana variety, the balance being com mon seed leaf. The tobacco counties of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana are the only sections reporting unfavorably. There drought and grasshoppers have done more or less damage. In New England, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin there has been an almost entire absence of hail. Only in few limited localities has it been de- structive. Winds, rust and feas have done comparatively little damage. Very slight harm was done by the light frost of August 25, principally in Chemung county, New York. Green worms have been phenomenal ly scarce, and the leaf is remarkably sound, while it's good size will make it a good wrap per crop Buyers generally inspected the crop as it was about being harvested. The actual offers for the new crop show that Ha- vana is likely to command good prices From fifteen to twenty cents per pound has been offered in New England for Havana, fifteen to thirty cents in New York, and in one instance in Pennsylvania as high as forty cents In Wisconsin eighteen to twen- ty cents pound has been refused for Ha- vana. the growers expecting higher price. The common seed leaf does not attract at tention. except in the favored sections of the Connecticut Valley, embracing the towns of Glastonbury, East Hartford and the Wind sors, always famous for their fine seed leaf. While the crop is large, 1t bids fair to be the greatest wrapper crop ever grown. This IS one reason for the good prices.
 Old tobaccos are pretty thoroughly used LID: indeed, the shortage has not been so great for years The 1883 crop, now about sampled, is not up to the average in quality, while in quantity it was cut short by the early frosts last fall Its popularity was questionable also. The present defective tariff on tobacco will be remedied by the next Congress, compelling all Sumatra wrap pers to pay seyenty-fve cents per pound duty. There are sound and incontrovertlble reasons why fair prices must and will pre- vail for the 1884 crop. At the same time the large crop will make it a dubious policy to hold for extreme prices. As whole, there fore, the 1883 seed-leaf crop is one of the old fashioned kind that will make money for growers, dealers and manufacturers.
