Impossible 90 Resist the ConciusIon That
RIaIne's Utteran IS Are Intended to Stir
up strife 1t the south.
II Blaine's malignity were mere sore
headedness IL might be overlooked. But
when his inilammatory u%tterances are
taken into consideration with those of
Fred Douglass and such blatant organs
as the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. it
IS impossible 10 resist the conclusion
that they spring from a deliberate pur-
pose 10 stir up strife al the South. It's
hoped very evidently that the negroes
can be moved to such a display Of ami
mostly against the whites rs to arouse
the latter I retaliation. Then will
Blaine and his followers come 10 the
front with a prompt I'VE told you 50"
| and a combined effort 10 fasten respon-
sihility for the result upon the election
Of Cleveland.
The design Is so patent. however,
that the ultimate purpose of the schcmers
i sure 10 be defeated. If a a con-
flict does come in the South tie people
both North and South will understand
very Vel who has done the infamous
work Of fomenting strife and inflaming
passions. Mr.. Blaine Is a magnetic
man and a plausible. But he has neither
magnetism o plausibility % deceive
the people a. to his responsibility for >
war Of races should such a war unhap-
pilv come. A solemn and heavy respon-
sibility it will be. too. n from which
he NAV well shrink. He knows some
thing Of the feeling Of a people express
ing their condemnation Of corruption in
office and their hatred Of living. But he
will find the breeze which blew him
one side on the fth Of November but a
summer zephyr in comparison with the
whirlwind Of wrath and Indignation
which will visit him and his Cocoon
spirators If their present wicked scheme
proves successful.
Meanwhile il II the duty OF all
thoughtful. sensible men. North rs well
as South. to see that the scheme does
not succeed. The influence which these
infiammatory appeals Of Blaine and
Douglass and other wicked demagogues
are having and likely 10 have upon the
colorcd people Of the South must be
countcractei by showing them the true
character Of such appeals and the alb
sence Of ans ground for fear that the
change in the National Administration
means ANYTHING but good TO their race.
With the intelligent colored men this
will not be difficult. Indeed. they are al
ready telling each other that the cleo
ton Of Cleveland will be a Srneft "a

NEW HAVEN. CONN. December q.
Last night at eleven o'clock, as Captain
8. T.. Thrashcr, Superintendent Of the
Seamsn's Bethel, was preparing 10 90
home, he felt q distinct jar Of the earth.
Looking out he saw lamp posts shaking.
The shock was more severe than that
experienced here last summer, although
Il was comparatively unnoticec, oc-
curing as Il did at a late hour. The jar
wal also felt at the Central Police Sta
tion. II Is now believed that there was
CONFUSION OF the earth la Long Island
Sound directly OF this harbor, or near
by, for AT a quarter past eleven o'clock a
tidal wave, crowned with foam, aud fully
eight feet high, came rolling into the bay
from the south, traversing the entire
length of the harbor, which Is four miles
long. II had a speed OF b twelve
miles an hour, and moved with an omln-
ous rushing sound, like the blast OF a
hurricane, carrying In It's
path.
IL WAS uAIk anu l0lu anu rainy ~ tAI
time, and q light fog, which has been
growing denser ever since, was forming.
Ii Is impossible TO ascertain the full sx-
tent Of the damage done. There are 200
vessels in the harbor bound eastward.
The first one TO take the force Of the
mysterious wave was the schooner Nellie
Grant, bound from Jersey City to Ports
mouth, n. H., with coal. The wave
struck her with such force as TO tear the
windlass out, and part the chains on both
her anchors, sweeping her away 70 the
north. The Captain hastily rugged sail
enough to keep steerage-way, and picked
his way with difficulty through the fleet TO
the inner harbor, where she Is now re-
pairing.
Near astern Of the Grant lay the
schooner Onrest, = Providence vessel,
bound home from Hobokcn with coal.
One Of the vessels crew heard q 0
roaring sound, and throwing on his
clothes rushed 10 the deck. just as he
did so. a wall Of water struck the bow o.
the schooner. breaking over her and I'LL
Ing her fun OF water. From the great
weight Of her load. the vessel did not re-
spond and SO literally buried herself.
The Captain was greatly alarmed, and
realized that unless the vessel parted
from her anchors she must sink. The an
ch0rs held, aud the wave tore away the
matches and burst into the cabin. The
vessel began TO sink instantly and the
Captain with his wife and four men hasti'
" got into the yawl boat. just as they
got clear Of the vessel she went down IN
about four fathoms Of water. The crew
lost everything.
Several coal barges and other vessels
were either sunk or badly shaken and
damaged.
An ominous find has been made Al
Morris Cove, near the eastern most poin'
of the harbor. IL was a wrecked yaw
boat, q quantity OF sailors clothing
splintered spars and loose rigging, an'
thirty-two matches swept from vessels
decks by the waves. II is now fearc'
that other disasters have occurred.

Really Mr.. Blaine's account Of his
own defeat leaves il quite uncertain that
he i not vet victorious. The Irish DEM
ocrats, thousands Of them. voted for
him. the Germans didn't desert him.
and the independents had no following
worth mentioning. According 70 his
ANALYSIS Of the vote he seemed TO have
gained everywhere. and yet, curiously
enough. to very little purpose. This j.
a surprising result Of a political contest
lie appears 10 lay the most direct blame
on Providence and DIR. Burchard the
former under the guise Of 1.-THE weather
and the latter as ian irtolcrant and
highly improper minister with a weak
ness for ALTERATION. The interview.
which was evidently furnished for the
purpose Of general publication and
letting Mr.. Blaine down gently
after his political miscarriage. was
mo- contriyed in good taste. Blaine,
as usual. appears as his own
culocist and defender. He says in effect
10 the country. only for sundry acci-
-"
dents. and ..if'' so and so had not hap
pencd Blaine would have been elected.
AL this kind Of speculation may BE- true
enough. but 1t i not to the point; IL
leaves unsaid the only thing that he
should have said. viz: A manly.
straightforward admission that he was
beaten In a square fight. and a magnan-
imous recognition Of the public worth
Of his opponent and a patriotic express
sion Of his respect and support for the
peoples choice. No. Blaine will never
we fear, be anything but a brilliant
partisan. and his defeat will in no wise
remand him to private life. II he car
not have official position he will q
least live publicly and manage to at
tract notice. Almost simultaneously

Is HE a CROOK

The Question Which Now Agitates the
Authorities of the City.
On last Saturday, man named l.. Hill,
who resides near the Belmont mill was ar.
rested on a warrant sworn out by his wife,
for wife beating. He had hearing before
Judge LETTERS and was sent to the Work
house for thirty days. Yesterday it was be-
lieved he was connected with a gang Of
crooks, and a search warrant was procured
at Squire Ankles, and search of his resi-
dence brought to light large number Of
tools, KEYS &c. Among the lot was a fine
pair of shackles, 9 star-shaped badge on
which was cut the words: The New De-
tectine Association" The tools were
taken to the Squire's Office. Whether they
belong to a burglar outfit or not, is not yet
clearly proven Hill claims to have come
here from Pittsburg.

Everything Has a Rosy Appearance at
Bellaire.
For some time past the Bellaire Nail
Works has been idle because of a difference
between the company and the steel workers.
The company had given notice Of a reduc-
ton in wages following the reduction al
Homestead, Pa. The company and the
steelworkers could not agree as to what the
reduction at Homestead really was, and
the outlook for starting the mill was
rather gloomy, but on Saturday last
the company withdrew the notice Of reduc-
ton, and the talk now is that the works
will start up some day this week, though one
of the men in position to know remarked to
q reporter last Saturday afternoon that the
mill will not start very soon at least no &C.
ZION looking toward a start has been taken"
However, this morning it was said that the
works are to start this week. The with
drawal of the notice Of reduction
is taken as 8 good omen aud
causes a better feeling to prevail not
only among the workmen, but among bust
ness men generally, and the announcement
was hailed in all parts of the city with gen
uine qualification. The Nail Works distrib-
utes about $4,000 every two weeks among
the employees, and when it shuts down, and
all of the flint glass factories, too, it makes
be volume of money in Bellaire rather
limited. Hence, when there is word ofa
,,art being made soon it naturally enough
,reaies better feeling among all classes,
