with Whalen and while seated on the
projecting pilings he saw the hoist

his seat the rail would have come
down ten feet from him but the sense
of danger evidently confused him
and he ran to escape the swinging rall
and unhappily missed his bearings for
the rail descended with great velocity
and struck him on the back of the
head, crushing him TO the earth. The
scene was sickening and large crowd
gathered around the poor victim. De-

PIrrsBURa, October 29.-rhe Ran
dali club of this city celebrated the
first anniversary OF its organization
with a banquet at the "Old City
Hall" last hight. Addresses were
made by Hon. Samuel j. Randall, W.
N. Heard and others. About one
thousand persons were present.
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Randall said: "a year ago we were
told that the success of the demo-
cratic party would result disastrous
ly to the country; that If the demo I,
cratic party got into power II would
be tearing down instead of build
ing up; but now we have demo
cratic president, and where is all the
disaster to business, which was pro-
phesiedY We have stronger admin
istration than we think. Grover
Cleveland may facetlously be called
"slow," but hels building up the par.
ty in a strong and firm manner, and
II we only have little patience hi
will accomplish the work that the re
publican party promised for years
but could never DO"

GEN. CHANTS roms.



New York, October 29.-During
several weeks past there has been
much speculation Ia the minds of
New Workers rs to whether General
Grants remains would remain here
or be removed from the state. These
doubts grew out of a recently pub
lished statement, attributed TO Hon
orable j. b. Chaffee, to the effect that
the family of General Grant did not
wish the generals body to remain In
this city, and that congress, at its next
session would take action In the mat.
ter. In order to make sure about the
matter, the Grant Monument associa-
ton decided TO take action and on
the 10th inst, Mayor Grace, Its vice
president, wrote letter TO Mrs.
Grant, stating the rumors at some
length, say ing they were likely TO in
terfere seriously with the raising of
the fund for the monument and ask
ing her to make q def
mite and positive statement
upon the subject, to be given
the public. Her reply was as follows:
