GRAFTON, W. Va, October9.-!The train
bearing Gen. Logan, which was scheduled
to arrive here at o:3o did not come until
nearly 0 o'clock tonight. An immense
crowd had been waiting all day to greet
the gallant soldier, but had diminished
when he came. As the locomotive cast its
first glimmer along the rails all the engines
IN the yard broke forth in shrill notes,
caunons doomed, the band played, and
from thousand throats went up wild
hurrah for Logan. v.
The enthusiasm was intense and the
hurrahs and excitement continued until
Hon. John W. Mason appeared, and
stepping on the tender OF the engine which
was backed up for him, he wis then intro.
duced. Gen: Logan stepped beside Mr..
Mason on the engine and again cheers
went up, more enthusiastic II possible than
before. AS soon rs silence WIS again OBJ
talned the General expressed his pleasure
ut meeting so many Of the citizens OF
Grafton and regretted his inability to
speak at length to thcm., He had met
many OF the citizens OF West Virginia and
was everywhere cordially received. He
felt gratitied for this and would carry away
with him pleasant memories Of West vir-
ginia. Bowling his thanks for the demon
stratlon in his honor, the General retired
to his car and passing quietly through it
was conducted to supper in the Grafton
Hotel.
After supper as many OF the crowd us
could gain admission passed through the
dining hall and shook hands with the
next Vice President. Many ladies' were
present and great number OF old soldiers
we're anxious to see him. One Of them
said after shaking hands with Logan,
"Oh, l saw him, and he pressed my
hand hard when | said, COM
rade." The delay to the train
Is regretted, us preparations had been
made for his reception in West Grafton,
where he was to speak ii the train had ar
rived on time. Nevertheless he was
greeted by an immense throns and given

uEALY'S REMOVAL
VIII Cost Grover Cleveland Que Thousand
Votes in Albany County.

VIII Cost Grover Cleveland Que Thousand
Votes in Albany County.
ALHASY, October 0.-The sequel to the
Butler meeting in Albany at which the
eggs werethrown at Grady, is the removal
Of Chief Clerk Healy, who, presided on
that OCCASION: Healy was formerly Repre-
sentative in the Assembly from one OF the
Rochester districts. While in the Assembly
Of 1855 he introduced the bill which estab-
lished the present Bureau OF Labor Statis-
ties of the State of New Yorla. and it is in
a large degree owing to his able adyocacy
that there is such bureau to-day. He
WIS also Chairman OF the Executive Boari
of the :. National Organization OF the
Knights OF Labor Tor the United
States and Canada. From the fact that
Healy owed his place in the Assembly
to his identification with the interests OF
workinsmen in his district, and that he
had always been known as champion OF
the laboring mans cause, it was naturally
expected that to him would be awarded
the new commissionersiip OF the bureau,
created by the bill which he had intro
duced. His membership OF the Assembly,
however, made him constitutionally in
eligible to the office, and Mr.. Peck was
appointed. At the expiration Of Mr..
Healy's term Of service in the Assembly,
he was appointed chief clerk of the new
bureau, and from that day to this has
been regarded in Albany rs the brain OF
that Office. and rs the man who did what.
ever Of efficient work was done. IIe was
the intimate friends OF several of the State
officers who now support Cleveland with
such visor. His removal by Peck was on
trumped up charges that he had allowed
the bureau to pay for sll worth OF private
kilograms, a charge that he clearly dis
proves. - .es5 ~
Peck, in his statement, says: "Nothins
had occurred to disturb the harmony OF
our relations until saw in the press that
he was to preside at the meeting in this
city in Buffers interest" This confession
shows the animus OF the action Of Peck.
To-day the workingmen all over the State
arc up in arms. The labor unions of Troy,
and Albany are so incensed that many OF
the members have left Butler and declar-
ed for Blaine as the surest way to rebuke
the doctrine that the holder OF the State
Clerkship has no political freedom. Some
even Of the Independents are ipccnsed at
the violation Of the civil service by de-
partment head who sought to coerce his
subordinate, as the latter threatened
Healy before the latter presided ut the
Butler meeting. 1t is estimated that
Cleveland will lose ], 900 votes in Albany
county through the action OF Peck.

SHOCKING CASE OF CRUELTY.

-sa Two Yenrs. tf -Erl
X PlrTsBuRGlt, October "a pitiiul case
was developed yesterday by Officer Sam
uel OBrlen, OF the Humane Society, and
Detective Shore. Patrick O'Rourkc has
been confined for over two years in the
coal cellar of his home on Bridge street,
Ihirty.sixth ward, by his inhuman family.
The old man MAS found in a cranped cel.
lar. not more than seven fret square, and
with no means OF ventilation or liuht ex-
cept the door and n partly broken tran
door in the roof. He WIS half living and
half sitting on . rough board placed
against the stone wall OF the cellar. His
hair IN beard were shaggy and unkempt,
and h., was in horrible filth. His feet
We're bare and his clothing scanty, and 50
dirty that its original c"lor could not be
discerned. As long as his wife was pres.
enta he would not speak, but when
she left him, he unbosonled himself. He
said he had worked for Singer 4 Nimick
for twelve years, but tina. two years ago
his legs became paralyzed, since which
time his wife had kept him in this cellar.
Last winter he almost iroze to death. and
earnestly wished that he might die. Ere
quently lie has not had even a crust of
bread nor n cup of water fora tlav and a
halt. He had often trie,tto call the a,ten-
ton of tn. neighbors to bis condition, but
the stone walls were so thick that he could
not be heard. Mrs. O'Isoi,rke denied that
she kept her husband in the cellar, but
said he was contrary old man and went
IN OF his own accord In the sprinp be-
cause it was cool. She said, also, it
was nobody's business il she chose 10
keep him in there, as she has enough
trouble without proviiing for him.
Mr. Matt Hodge lives about fifty feet
from O'Rourke's. Mr.. Hodge has been
IN invalid for six years, and he saws he
has heard O. 'Rourke moaning and CRYING
on the bitter cold nights last winter, and
saying, 81 wish was dead" Mr.. Hodge
could not sleep for his cries, and if he had
been able to leave his house world have
notified the authorities long ago. fle had
heard him moaning that he was freezing
to death, and had heard the .lnd of
blows. These noises he had heard for
nearly two years. A Mrs. Murray, who
lives in the same house with the o. 'Rourkes
said he was treated like wild beast. Mrs,
ORonrke has attempted to commit suicide
five times recently, by lying down in front
Of trains on the Pittsburgh soathern road.
It appears that nothing can be done to
punish the woman, as there is no law to
cover the case. .:.!.slS re - :

Posr JARVIS, October "a wealthy
middle-ased widower named Doninick
Mines, owns a farm on the border OF
Wayne and Luzerne counties, Penn. It
is occupied by farmer named Obert,
and Mines bearded there with his family.
Ohert's daughter Lena is pretty girl OF
IS years. Both Obcrt and his wife are
noted ior being extremely close-fste.l, and
for IN almost insane desire to be rich, A
month or SO ago Mines offered to make
Obert a deed OF farm near the one on
which he lived if he would give him his
daughter in marriage. Although the
daughter was entirely ignorant OF the fact
that the widower Mines desired to marry
her, her parents eagerly accepted his offer.
They said nothing to the girl about their
intentions toward her, and Mines never
alluded to the subject in his daily con-
yersutions with her. The Oberts at once
began to prepare for the wedding, which
was set down for the evening of October
|. Week before last AIRS Obert greatly
astonished her daughter by telling her
that she intended to give large party.
She gave her no hint, however, rs to what
the occasion OF the party was to be. The
people who were invited were also not
informed OF the true character Of the
gathering.
The fact that the Obcrts were to give a
party created great surprise in tile neigh
borhood, as they. had never been known.
before to extend the slightest hosnitaiity
to any one. 4 new dress was ordered for
Lena, and it was brought home from
Scranton by her father on the afternoon Of
the day OF the party. With it were so
many things that suggested bridal apparel
that the girl laughingly said to her mother
that If she wore them people would think
she was to be bride. Her mother there
upon told her all; and that the ncighbors
had been. invited to witness her marriage
TO Dominick Mines. a neishbor's eirl,
who had been engaged to help in the
house on that day and evening, saws that
upon hearing the. truth about the party
Lena stood for some time staring at her
mother, pale and sneechless. Then she
seized the wedding garments and, tearing
them into shrehs, scattered them about
the room. After denouncing both her
father and mother for their unnatural
conduct she left the house. She walked
all the wny to Scranton, where she has
friends, with whomtst-lfis still. The
true situation at Obcrts'nw was explained
to the guests rs they arrived for the party.
and all OF them left the house filed with
indignation ut the parents OF the girl and
with feelings OF sympathy and admiration
for the daughter who had SO hravely re.
fused to barter herself ior their gain.
