Republicans Destroy by Kerosene a
 Democratic Insignia of Sherman's
 Befeat.
 COLUMBUS, Oct. 16.-A new banner was suspended across the street opposite the headquarters of the Democratic State com mittees to-day. It is in the form of large shirt suspended by the outstretched sleeves, painted here and there gory red. Upon one sleeve were the words 'sNew North," on the other sNew South," while below the bo- som appeared "A New Deal; The Last of the Bloody Shirt'' The Democrats claim to have a majority of the legislature on joint ballot and this remarkable banner was in tended to signify the retirement of John Sherman, the so-called apostle of bloody shirtism, from the United States Senate. About three o'clock several members of the G. A. R. seeing the banner became indignant, held an impromptu meeting and sent rep resentative to the Democratic headquarters to have it taken down.
 None of the committee was present at the time, but one of the clerks consented to take it down. While it was being lowered some enthusiastic Republicans grabbed it and started for the Republican headquarters. They changed their minds, however, and saturated it with kerosene and brought 1t back in front of the Democratic headquar- ters, where they made bonfire of it, while one of the number made a little speech. The affair attracted large crowd and caused considerable excitement at the time.

Most of the Cars Running and the
 Police Force Reduced.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-There is little to be said about the street car strike. All the roads are running nearly if not quite full complement of cars, without molestation, ,and the police guard has been reduced more than one-half. The railway managers regard the strike entirely over, and seem to have no fear for the future. On the other hand, the strikers claim that they will fight, that the new men handle the cars and stock badly, and that the railway managers will yet yield to some sort of compromise and recall them to work.
 The resolutions passed by the public meeting on Wednesday night demanding that the Municipal assembly pass an ordinance creating the office of street railway inspec- tor, who shall control the running time and have power to regulate the number of cars to be run, and calling on the municipal assem- bly, and State legislature to pass laws govern ing such interpretations as are subject to their control, and prohibiting the employ ment of human labor for @ longer period than twelve hours per day, have caused considerable comment and have found many advocates.

 CINCINNATI, Oct. 16.-To day there were low but earnest protests against the frauds on Tuesday last, perpstrated on the ballot box. Both parties came in for share of condemnation. It was from men, however, who had no thought of resorting to mob vio- lence to right wrong, but rather citizens who could find remedy for evil doing in the courts. Only threats against life and property have been by drunken and irresponsible persons and this has given color to the runnors that a riot was imminent From all appearances the people are calmly awaiting the official count. The city is ut terly quiet tonight and no trouble is appre- hended. An evening paper reported 2 riot at Columbus and this led the chief of police to order extra men on duty, but their ser vices were not required,

GuflfOfd,

MT. Henry Heeney and wife, of New Lon don, are visiting their Guilford friends.
 Bicycling is becoming more fashionable in this place stimulated, very likely, by the frequent presence of wheelmen on our streets during the summer, the latter passing over our roads to other towns or watering places at the shore. MT. John Wingood and MT. Frank Knowles have each recently purchased bicycle and enjoy frequent exercise upon them in the bracing autumnal atmosphere. They ought to have more time for dinner, and consequently better digestion.
 H. Pendleton, jr., has moved into the Cap tain Crampton house on Boston street and Dr. Hamilton will occupy the house that he vacates.
 Rev. MT. Bingham, of Woodstock, Conn, is trying the recuperative power of the Guil- ford atmosphere.
 MT. Alpha Morse, who has had charge of this towns poorhouse for several years past, is moving into his house on Boston street and Mr. Hiram Thomas is about to take his place.
 Miss Katie Fisk is visiting in Ansonia. The beautiful scenery around Quampaug Lake in North Guilford has attracted several picnic parties of late who admired the views so much that they did some amateur photo graphing, thereby securing those scenes as an ever present source of enjoyment. MT. s. A. Richards (one of our druggists, starts Tuesday next on an extended tour l in the South. Making short stop in New Atlanta Ga., where he visits his father and thence journeys to Florida where he visits several friends in different parts of that State, returning via Atlanta and Washing ton, D. C., reaching Guilford in about one month from his departure and will, undoubt- edly, find that his business was well cared for during his absence by his competent and faithful clerk, NIT.

Tons of Iron Allowed To Run Into .
 Mammoth Mould.
 BOSTON, Oct. 16.-At the South Boston iron works this afternoon the casting of fifty four ton twelve inch breech-loading rife-gun took place in the presence of large con- course of people, which included many mil itary men. It was the third attempt made to cast this gun, two previous attemps hav- ing failed. At 12:4O Foreman Wood gave the order and from two furnaces holding over fifty tons of metal each the moulton iron began to flow, sending forth streams of golden stars as it ran fiery mass to the re- ceiver and thence into the mould. A few minutes later the third furnace was tapped and for fifteen minutes the flow of metal went on without interruption. Suddenly g dense volume of flame shot up in the air, fol- lowed by clouds of steam. The furnaces were shut off, but after careful investiga- tion the iron was again turned into the mould There is possibility that the core arbor of the mould is damaged somewhat, but from present appearances the casting is 8 success. Over 105 tons now are in the flask or mould. By tomorrow it will be known what, if any, mishap has occurred.
