A PROPHETIC SYMPATHY.
The PremODitiOn Which the Mother of
Sergt. Gardner Had of His Death.


In connection with the sad death of
Sergt. Hampden Sidney Gardner of the
United States Signal Corps, one of the
Greely explorers, by starvation in the
Arctic regions, says Baltimore special,
a peculiar story is told by an intimate
friend Of Sergt. Gardner's parents, who
reside in Philadelphia. May IA, while on
a visit TO Philadelphia, the friend met
Col. Gardner, the father of the Sergeant.
who is in the employ of the Post Office
Secret Service Division. The latter
stated that he was extremely anxious
about the health Of his wife. who
seemed slowly failing. For a long
time something had been proving
on her mind. That morning she
was too unwell to eat, and then confessed
that her trouble was caused by an upcop-
trollable impression that her son was
starving. She had reasoned with herself.
without avail, that the expedition had
stores which would last them wears. but
she had suddenly been seized with the
premonitIon that her boy was starving,
and that it was killing her. That day
especially she was quite overcome. Col.
Gardner said that he was much worried
about her. Strange to relate, it was on
that day, May IA, that the last rations
were issued 10 his starving men bv Gree
ly, and June II young Gardner died. the
last of those who perished before the res
cue. His mother seemed to be prepared
for the news OF his death when the sad
tidings were received.

in Operation at Cleveland.


in Operation at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o., July 27.-The first
electric railroad for public use in America
went into operation in this city yesterday
in connection with the East Cleveland
Street Railroad Company, which has just
completed mile of road. The experiment
was so successful that the company expect
to change their entire system, comprising
over twenty miles, into an electric road. The
system used was a combination OF the
Brush and Knight and Bently systems,
and the current was carried on under
ground conductors laid in conduits like
those of cable roads. The cars were start
ed, stopped and reversed with the greatest
ease. Any number of cars, UP to fifteen,
can be run at one time on single circuit
and from one machine, which is a result
not attained by any of the European sys-
TENS now in operation.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The admins

dissolved for the time being than now. 1
doubt if there is another CabmeG meeting
for two months. The Secretary of State

sickness of his wife's mother. Secretary
Chandler is in New Hampshire getting
ready to receive the Greely party. Secre-

Gresham have gone to their Western

A Child's Narrow Escape from Death.
A remarkable story comes from Wood
land, says the San Francisco Alta. A lit
tie child Of that town, aged about 2
years, has been ailing for some time, and
as the local physicians could not discover
the cause, the parents took the child to
san francisco. where ii was examined nv
the leading physicians, who were equally
as unsuccessful in their search for the
ailment. 1t seemed that the infant nust
slowly die, and the parents resigned All
hopes Of saving its life. But while the
little one was receiving the CUSTOMARY
morning bath short time since, knot
about the size Of an egg was discovered in
its side, which had formed very suddenly
ana seemed to contain some hard sub
stance. a physician was called and de-
clded 10 cut open the knot. Upon doing
SO, II was found to contain a china doil
ABOUT TWO inches long, which the child had
swallowed about a year since. The little

Local Government in Finland to be Sup
pressed on Account of Plots.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-The Car
has appointed a commission to revise the
laws relating to Finland in the direction
of the complete suppression of local gov
ernment. The diet of Finland will be
limited to consulting vote. The initiate
of ali laws will be delegated to a Cover
nor General. The reasons for this are
that Nihilists are making Finland the
basis of plots against the Gar and his
government, and that the plots are con-
niyed at by the Finland authorities and
people.
In consequence of the inquiry into the
conspiracy at Warsaw it has been ar
ranged that the Car will arrive at Fort

JosIyn's Jars with Chandler.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The decisions
OF Acting Secretary of the Interior JosIyn.
that IN pension cases the applicant for a
pension, and not the government, is to
have the benefit of the doubt, is criticised
as executive legislation, which upsets the
uniform practice Of the pension Office and
opens the door to fraud. Several bills are
pending In Congress having for an object
the engrafting upon the law of just such
a principle as Judge Joslyn has now
established by a decision. Possibly
Secretary Teller may reverse Judge
Joslyn's decision when he returns, as he
did last summer after he got back and
discovered that Joslyn had changed the
practice Of the department.

A Regiment $50 Strong Goes Through
Review and Dress Parade with Ma
ehine-like Precision for the Next Pres

shown Honor by the Guard.
Gov. Cleveland went to the State camp
at Peekskill with Adjt. Gen. Farnsworth
this morning, says an Albany, n. Y,
special, and returned on a late train this
evening. The decision Of the Democratic
National Committee to be in Albany on
Tuesday next, to join with the National
Committee of Notification in waiting on
Gov. Cleveland, has led to preparations
by the local managers for a mon
ster ratification meeting on Tuesday
evening. Both opera houses have
been secured, and outside meetings will
also be held. At Peekskill the first visi-
tors of the day were 80 cadets from West
Point. who, as representatives of the last
half of the senior class, came charging
into camp in true cavalry style, under
command of Capt. Aucur. They were
accompanied by several West Point Off
GERS. They monopolized the attention of
the camp until / O'Clock, when word went
round that Gov. Cleveland and staff had
crossed the creek IN safety, and were at
that moment climbing the bluff. A deco
rous stampede toward the entrance to the
camp Immediately occu1 ed; the guard
was turned out, and the Governor was re-
ceiyed with 2l guns and full military
honOrs. The excitement haG almost sub
sided, when an entirely new cOmmotiOn
arose on the side Of the camp facing the
open country.
"Turn out the guardw
The order went down the line in amaze
ment, each man asking breathlessly:
"Who is itY' Is it Arthur or Gen. Sher-
Idang" 1t was neither. 1t was Henry
Ward Beecher, who, with a small party
Of friends, drove over modestly in
a caTria from his farm, a mile
and half distant. People stared
in surprise when they saw the
guard turned out. but the officer who
gave the order explained his action on the
ground that Beecher was a chaplain, and
that he 'had a reverence for clergymen,
any wayp
Mr.. Beecher acknowledged the honor
graVely, and soon afterWard was shaking
hands in hearty, old-fashioned way with
Gov. Cleveland. The regiment was so
elated by the presence of Cleveland-and
Beecher-to say nothing of the array of
distinguished officers and gentlemen who
came in unberalded-that every man be-
came veteran at once, and shone with
added splendor for the rest of the
day. The result was. in the highest
degree satisfactory. When the regi-
ment turned out for review by the Gov
ernOr at O'clock every man was like
an animated machine. There were $50
well-drilled, able-bodied men in line. I'M
mediately after passing in review the
men reassembled for dress parade. At
the conclusion of the maneuvres it was
declared by disinterested judges that the
the work
by the regiment during the week. Par
ticularly noteworthy was the echelon
which the companies executed
on returning to their quarters. Gov.
Cleveland made a brief address to the
soldiers, complimenting them upon their
fine appearance and the excellent manner
in which the camp was maintained.

THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.

Gov. Hendricks Fully Satisfied-PrOba-
bic Effect of the Prohibition Ticket.
Gov. Hendricks, says an Indianapolis
special to the New York World, is fully
satisfied with the present status of the
campaign in Indiana. The Democracy
are organizing all along the line, from the
lake to the Ohio. There is not break
anywhere. The Republicans of this city
seem to have lost all the backbone they
ever had. Heretofore they have always
been impudent and aggressive. The Gov
ernor said if the Republicans could truly
say: "There is no need of a change: let
well enough Alone" they might possess
an argument powerful enough to force
people to vote for Blaine; but the Well
defined uneasiness in business circles
and the recent bank failures here have
swelled the current of those clamoring for
a change.
Senator Voorhees, was here the day Of
the great Fletcher bank failure, with it's
$500 depOsitors, and witnessed the crowd
of patrons surging up against the doors of
the bank clamorOus and angry.
"That," said VOORHEES,, ''is the biggest
and most emphatic Cleveland ratification
meeting l have seen so far in the cam
paign." The Governor thinks that the
great pocket nerve Of the masses has been
at last touched.
The action of the State Prohibition
lists has probably settled the ques-
tiOn so far as Indiana is concerned. Their
full State nominations will defeat Mr.
Calkins heavily, and the electoral ticket
will effectually settle Blaine's aspirations
so far as the State is concerned.

The action of the republican county
convention, when viewed from q geo.
graphical standpoint, presents some
interesting features. A line drawn
through the county from north to
south so as to pass down Broadway, in
the city of Yanktop, would very nearly
divide the county into two equal parts,
the west part being trifle larger than
the east. The convention in making it's
nominations selected ten of the county
officers from the east side Of this line
and two from the west side. In choosing
its delegates to the legislative convention
1T took ten from the east part and two
from the west part. In making up it's
central committee it gave to the east
part eleven members and to the west
part four members. A little simple addl-
tlon shows without counting justices of
the peace and constables) that the con
ventlon gave to the east part OF the
county thirty-one positions and to the
west part of the county eight positions
Without any desire to unjustly criticise
the action of the convention, we call at
tention to this distribution Of places and
cannot but conclude that it is unfair to
the west half of our county, which is al.
ways on hand with its proportion of re.
publican votes.

intentions and desires, but they have
inadvertently permitted themselves to

the party. in manner which cannot be
endorsed by those whom they attempted
to serve.

Whatever the convention may have
