THE GOVERNORS BIRTHPLACE
His Fathers Old House Now Occupied
by an Advocate of Blaine.


by an Advocate of Blaine.
The Rev. r. c. Berry is now pastor of
the Presbyterian church in Caldwell, Es-
sex county, n. j., in which Grover CIeye-
lands father officiated at the time of the
Governors birth. He lives in the old par
sonage. He is Blaine advocate, and a
picture of Blaine stands in the room in
which the Governor was born. The house
sits back from the road 100 feet. Two
noble ash trees stand as sentinels in front
of it. The house itself is a 2I5-storv
building, with front porch and low win
dows, and the whole place savors of an
tiquity.
sit was claimed" said the Rev. Mr..
Berry, "that the Governor was not born
here, but at the other end of the town. but
that is not so. When the CleveIands liyed
here there were only seven rooms in the
house. Four more have since been added.
The old place has been sketched for an
illustrated paper, and 1 suppose it Will
now become quite famous"
Marcus Harrison, an old resident said
that he remembered when Parson CIeve-
land lived down IN the old parsonage. ssIt
would be impossible" he added, ssto keep
account of his children. Young Grover.
as we called him, was then just toddling
around in frocks. He was named after
Stephen Grover, the predecessor of his
father in the pastorate Of the church,
As intimated by DIR. Berry's remarks.
there is quite rivalry between the resi-
dents of the two ends Of the village over
the birthplace Of the Governor. An old
house that stands on the other side of the
town is pointed out by some of those re-
siding near it as his birthplace, but there
is no doubt that the parsonage the Rev.
Mr. Berry occupies is entitled to the
honor.

POISON IN TOMATO CANS.
Suit Against a Canning Firm to r.
cover $50, 900 Damages,

Suit Against a Canning Firm to Re-
cover $4,000 Damages.
Miss Theodore Kolyer, aged % years,
living at 80 Clermont avenue, Brooklyn.
says the New York World, has entered
suit for $4,000 against the firm of Thur
Der, Whyland & Co., of this city, for hav-
ing, as alleged, injured her health. She
ate some tomatoes canned by that firm,
which, she alleges, contained deleterious
substances, the vegetable having been
sold by defendants for a pure article.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants
sold to Nicholas Ahrens, grocer, canned
tomatoes labeled as being Of superior
quality. Relying upon the accuracy of
the representation thus made by the de-
PENDANTS, plaintiffs father purchased the
tomatoes from him. After eating them,
plaintiff became so i'll that her life was
despaired of, and her health has been per-
manently injured. Plaintiff also alleges
that in the soldering of the tomato cans
muriate of zinc, fluX and other poisonous
substances were used, and that the toma-
defendants knew when they caused the
cans to be labeled that they had been sol
dered with poisonous substances.
This suit is based on the result of the
examination made by the Health Depart
ment through DR.. BARLEY, whose report
states that the symptoms were those
which would arise from poisoning by mu-
riate of zinc, which is used in soldering.
Eight other similar suits are awaiting the
result OF this action.

To say that it created a sensation among

''The distribution Of printed matter for

try is one of the courtesies that has long
existed, and has come to be recognized as
almost a necessity by all prosperous

be found at stations of nea Nv all connect

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 14.-At Mount
Holley station, on the Carolina Central
Railroad, twelve miles from this city, a
party of negroes had festival Saturday
night. Eli Barringer got some money
changed, and insisted that the wrong
change had been given him. A dispute
arose, razors were quickly drawn,
and Barringer fell to the floor,
with his head almost severed from his
body, it merely hanging on by a piece of
skin. LOaflin Martin fell with a pistol
ball in his brain. Brass knuckles and
sling shots did deadly work and about
twelve negroes were more or less hurt. Bar
ringer died instantly. Martin still lives,
but there are no hopes of his recovery.
Three negroes were arrested to-day and
carried to Jail at Dallas, where they will
be tried before a magistrate. The affray
occurred in a house and the scene was
frightful. No women were hurt.

CLEVELAND AT HOME.
What is Thought of Him at the Capit,
of New York


Personally the Governor is liked very
much in Albany. Whenever he is spoken
of it is with great favor and respect. He
is not often seen on the streets. and he
rarely appears in any public assemblage,
but whenever one does meet him and
speaks to him he is sure of a kindly greet
ing-one that is remembered because of
the hold that a noble, simple nature
always takes upon the heart. The gath
ering at the Executive Mansion Friday
evening was the result of a'spontaneous
outburst OF sincere gladnesS and satisfac-
tion among the thousands who have
learned to admire the Governor for the
good qualities with which they have be-
come acquainted. People say he is man
OF destiny. That idea is expressed on
every hand, and it is also in many of the
congratulatory messages that have been
sent him from distance. On every side
there is found settled conviction that he
will be the next President, because he is
the man to right the existing wrongs of
the General Government.
Col. Lamont, the Governors private
secretary, had hardly been seated in his
office Saturday morning when an old gen.
tleman who had not been able to attend
the meeting called Friday evening to cele-
brate the nomination, came in for the
purpose Ol expressing MS JOY. II do
WONDER" said he, elf 1 am going to live
to see a Democratic President elected. 1t
is the first time have had any confidence
since the war;" He went away with a
face all beaming with smiles.
The Governor walked over to the Capi-
tOl as usual Saturday morning about 8 :3O
O'Clock, and went at once to his desk in
the main Executive room. He seemed to
be as calm and self-possessed as if the
most extraordinary event of his life had
not occurred the day before. He is GER
tainly a fine-looking man-erect, with
broad shoulders, mighty chest, head
and neck that rise up like column of
granite and face ofrugged power. 1t is
not serene face, not one full of unreas-
ing, censcienceless ambition, such as
Napoleon had, but one of dauntless cOur-
age and unflagging perseverance, tenn
pered with benignity and the softer traits
of humanity.
A mass of kilograms and letters were
lying upon his desk. Part of these he
opened himself and part of them he
handed over to his Secretary, Col. La
mont. When asked for permission to
publish some of them IN the World he
said:
"Oh, well, do not think l ought to al
low many of these names to 90 out, for
large share of them are from Republicans,
who might be in some way embarrassed
at having sent congratulations to Demo-
cratic candidate"

MOVING IN BOSTON.
The Beginning of a Practical ReOrgan
zation of Parties.

The Beginning of Practical Reorgani-
zation of Parties.
The Boston Herald of the 18th inst. says:
In nominating Gov. Cleveland for Presi-
dent, the Democratic party has displayed
the wisdom Of its opportunity, as the Re-
publican party, in nominating Mr.. Blaine,
manifested the audacity Of its desires.
There are corrupt and dangerous elements
in both parties. In the Republican party
they have at last prevailed. In the Demo-
cratic party they have been beaten down.
The Republican party is led by its tail,
the Democratic party by its head. With
a reform candidate nominated by the
Democratic party solely because he is
and has always been a reformer and is
acceptable to the reform voters, it looks
like the beginning of a practical reorgani-
cation Of parties. 1t certainly looks like
the beginning of the end OF the Republi-
can party as at present organized and led.
On the whole, a change is desirable. We
take it as reasonably certain that Gov.
Cleveland will be elected. The independ-
ent voters will all support him. The re-
Volted Republicans have named him as the
one Democrat for whom they could vote.
If his own party does not support him
loyalty, it will be evidence that its time
has come to die. The Democracy at last
deserves success.

NEW ORLEANS, July 14.-A dispatch
from StarkvIlle, Miss, says: 'In October,
1882, b. J. Parish's two boys, aged u and
IA years, died suddenly. 1t now turns
out that they were poisoned by a negro

confided the matter to a colored woman,
who a few days ago told Parish
what she knew about the death
of his boys. Carpenter was arrested.
He said that he got the poison
from a negro doctor, Ned Mack, nOtori-
Gus character, and Mack was also ar
rested. sA posse of half a dozen men
took them in charge and started for the
Jail, but when about seven miles from

A sACKFUL OF DOLLARS.
How a Defendant Got Even With an
Obstinate Lawyer.

Obstinate Lawyer.
A very amusing incident happened in
court last week, says the Henderson, KY,
Journal. Mr.. Nick Becker had purchased
a certain piece of ground and executed
his notes for the same. Later on and be-
fore the last note had become due it was
discovered that the survey did not hold
out by quite a number of feet, and, there
fore, Mr.. Becker declined to settle unless
a reduS BON be made for the loss of land.
Suit Wig instituted, and last week judg-
ment was given for the amount of the
note, less so much for the loss of land.
Mr.. Becker seemed satisfied, and so soon
as he heard the decision of the court ap-
preached the attorney for the plaintiff and
proposed to give him check in full set
tlement. The attorney declined the check
and was asked what he wanted. ''Gold,
silver or greenbacks," was the reply.

shall have it.' And out of the court
room he went. Soon thereafter he re-
turned with man he had hired, and up
on whose back was a great sack, in which
was deposited 875 new silver dollars, 1C
and cents in silver and one copper, max.
ing in all $S75 16, the amount OF the iudg-
ment. He had the sack laid at the feet OF
the attorney, and enjoyed it more than the
one who had to see 1t deposited in bank.

The Franchise Rill

LONDON, July 14.-In the House Of
Lords to-day Lord Wemyss announced
that he would postpone until Thursday
the submission of his motion that the
House consider and pass the franchise
bill.
Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary OF
State, announced in the House of Lords
this afternoon that the government would
introduce bill for the redistribution OF
the Parliamentary seats at the autumn
session if the franchise bill was passed
now.
The last attempt to arrange a compro-
mise of the franchise question has failed.
The Marquis of Salisbury maintains his
position that there should be no franchise
bill passed without redistribution of the
Parliamentary seats.
