BosToN, April 90.


Isaac B, Sawtelle, better known as "Yan-
kee Doodle" died in Boston last night. He
was one of Bostons quaiutest and best known
characters. He always dressed in homespun
or jeans with a plug hat. and could be seen
most any day within the last fifteen years on
the streets with old boots slung over his
shoulders and whistling Yankee Doodle. He
was a shoemaker by trade. He amassed a
fortune of nearly sl50,000' According to a
statement made by himself, he dreamed
about eighteen years ago, when in straitened
circumstances, that he could get rich by ad'
vertising, and his way to advertise was by
whistling the tune Yankee Doodle. He start
ed out the next morning in his uniform of
jeans as cobbler, and built up large busi-
ness which he continued up to year ago.
He was "A wears old.

OHIO ELECTION FRAUDS.
Difference of Opinion as to Who are
Elected to Seats.

COLUMBUS, O., April 2S.
The reports of the investigating committee
on the Hamilton county Senatorial contests
have been completed and agreement
entered into by the party sections of the com
mttee that they shall be submitted to the
Senate, Thursday, be printed and come up
for final action next week. The confidence
of the members of the committee has been
abused, and leading points of the reports
have already leaked out. The republican
members review the frauds in Hamilton
county, in general, and concentrate on spe-
cifc frauds claimed to have been shown in
the fourth ward, precinct A sixth ward, pre-
cinct ID, and precinct G and ninth ward pre-
cinct F. These give the democrats 1858 and
the republicans l79 votes.
The report shows by an accumulation of
evidence that the returns from these precincts,
were so permeated by fraud as to be wholly
worthless and recommends that, under the
first proposition of the agreement of the
committee of six, which provided that a COM
mittee should, in the precincts where there
was evident fraud by officers OF election
throw the entire vote out, thus cutting down
the vote of the democratic candidates 1858,
and of the republican candidates l79, and
| electing all republican sentorial candidates.
The report of the democratic members
claim that there were both republican and
| democratic frauds, and states that under the
second proposition adopted by the committee
of six which provided that in the precinct:
where frauds were committed by others than
| officers of election, the committee should
ascertain the extent of such frauds and elimi
nate the fraudulent votes returned in foul
democratic precincts, including notorious
precinct A, fourth ward, and in nine republi
can precincts. Throwing out these thirteer
precincts majority of about 1000 is glver
for the democratic sitting members. The,
find, therefore, that the democratic members
are entitled to seats. The reports agree II
some respects as to the precincts which shall
be thrown out under the rule.

CHICAGO, April 2S.
One of the morning papers publis es the
interview with all the leading iron and steel
manufacturers of the city, who declare that
the present eight hour movement among their
men had been badly conceived, that the real
laboring men are not back of it, but that it is
fermented by the laboring agitstors and that
they will MOI accede to the eight hours de
mand. The eight hour movement has taken
firm hold of the men employed in the brass
foundry and finishing shops of the city and
by the end of the present week all the firms
in that business will have heard from com
m ttee of their men and have taken stand
for or against the adoption of the short
day. Some of the larger manufacturers OF
brass and copper goods have already received
notice from their employees that they
will want the eight hours work with ten
hours pay.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal tells this
story: When the Rev. DIR. Tappan was
the agent OF the American Home Mission
Society he once made trip through the
northeastern part Of Maine on horseback
On arriving ut Mattawamkeag, where he
was pleasantly entertained, he was told he
had better remain over night there, as the
place where he intended to make his next
station was rather rough and uncomfort-
able, and the landlord was rough and
blasphemous man who might not use him
we'll. But DR.. Tappan was anxious to
carry out his itinerary as he had planned
it, and journeyed on. lie arrived at bis
destination at dusk. The landlord came
out, greeted him cordially, took his horse
and put him up, hastened in to help en-
tertain his reverend guest, prepared nice
warm supper for him, and was as polite as
Lightning rod agent,
just before DIR. Tappan retired the lond-
lord and all his family arranged in process
sion, according to their ages, filed into the
room with much decorum, and the doctor
was asked to lead them in family worship
which he cheerfully did.
The next morning, after the doctor bad
dressed, the host, his wife, his boys, his
girls, all neatly attired. came in again and
the same request was made and granted.
After good breakfast the preachers
nag was brought to the door, saddled and
bridled, and the good man prepared to go
his way. He asked for his bill.
Not cent, said the landlord, cheerily.
The doctor thought this reply was
strange from landlord preceded by such
an i'll reputation, and said: Why! must
pay you for my entertainment.
You don't owe me cent, said the inn
keeper. The fact is that tin peddlers
