WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION,
Ten Thousand People Pay Respects I
The Prasidant and Mrs. Claxeland-

Ten IhDusADu feOpI6 EAy Respects to
the President and Mrs. Cleveland.
The public reception at the White
House on the night of the 18th was
more numerOusly attended than any
previous affair within the history OF
that mansion. The doors were thrown
open At 9 O'Clock. Before that hour fully
5000 people stood in line waiting for
admission. The crowd began forming at
> O'Clock. The line extended from the
west carriage entrance eastward to
Fifteenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue. It probably numbered TO-
600 IN all, not more than tWo-thirds
OF whom had gained admission to the
grounds when the reception ended.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
were assisted by Mrs. Endicott, Mrs
Whitney and Mrs. Villas. Mrs. Cleve-
land wore her wedding dress OF ivory
silk arranged in the same Style as at
the official reception. Her ornaments
consisted OF a diamond necklace, the
Presidents wedding gift, to which was
attached a beautiful diamond pend
ant; and IN her hair, which was taste
fully arranged in Grecian coils, was a
diamond star, or tiara, OF rare beauty
anu DlH1duCJ. Lie uOEdl luSCOLdJiOuS
We're similar to those of last Tuesday,
and the general arrangements practi-
caLy the same. The President and
Mrs. Cleveland shook hands with all
as the throng passed through the blue
room, and the bride had bright smile
for each one, and kind word for those
she recognized IN the moving crowd.
As the people left the mansion their
conversation was OF the beauty and
grace OF the Presidents bride.
Among the visitors were party OF
deaf mutes. One OF the number car
ried in his hand paper bearing these
words: "The undersigned, five in
number, are deaf mutes. They re-
spectlully present their compliments
to the President and Mrs. Cleveland"
The paper was handed to the Presi-
dent. A slight frown gathered upon
his face as he showed it in his vest
pocket, with the remark, 81 have no
time to attend to such things now;
come around and see me tomorrow"
He supposed it was an application for
office, and expressed great regret when
he discovered his mistake.

MAKING THINGS WARu.
Ap Indtsna Man Gets Drunk, Burns His
Barn and Shoots.

William Garrett, livingnear Muncie,
Ind, has been in the habit of shame
fully abusing his family after imbibing
from the cup which intoxicates. On
the night of the 25th he came home in
his usual state, but found his wife
missing. Enraged at missing his GUS
tomary amusement he took an axe
and smashed his farm machinery
which was stored in the barn, after
which he set fire to the building. He
then took his shotgun and prepared
to perforate those who came to put it
out. Walter Boner was the first on
deck, and received the contents OF one
barrel in the back. The humorist
then fired at Boner's companion, but
fred high and missed him. Garrett
was then placed in jail, where he will
have an opportunity to amuse himself
for some time at the expense of the
state

No Chance for Construction Until the
Emperor Attains His Majority.
The Vossiche Zeitung, published at
Berlin, says that the delegates sent to
China to work up railway develop
ment IN the interests Of German capi-
taIists and manufacturers have re
ported IN effect that there is no chance
for railway construction in China on
a scale which could be made profitable
for European enterprise until the En-
peror attains his majority, which will
not be until the close of 1887. The
paper says that the above report OF
the delegates has been read to a meet
ing OF the German capitalists and
manufacturers interested in the inves-
legations Of the delegates, who further
state that the Viceroy assured them
that China would build railways when
she was s,ble to manufacture the ma
terlals needed in their construction
within her own dominions.

ter of Million In Property.
The New England institutefair build
ing, on Huntington Avenue, Boston,
recently purchased by the Metropoli-
tan Horse Railway Company, valued
at $3.50, 900, was entirely DESTROYED
by fire on the 21st. A arge number OF
men employed in the building escaped,
but at least twelve are thought
to be lost. Four of the bodies re-
moved were so badly charred and dis
figured that identification is impossi-
rle. The names OF the others are be
heved to be as follows: VIM. Taylor,
aged 20 years; Oliver Frost, aged ST
years, married; Patrick Lyons, aged
30 years; Alexander Campbell, aged 20
years, married. The body OF the negro
known to have been burned has not
been recovered. This makes nine
fatalities known to have been caused
by the fire. The foreman OF therepair
shop states that all of the eighty-eight
workmen in the building when the fire
broke out are accounted for, with the
exception OF the four named, and the
other four unfOrtunates were probably
strangers who entered the building
to aid IN removing the cars. The fol-
lowing persons were seriously burned:
Joseph Whidden, car builder, serious
ly burned about the face and shoul-
ders and taken to the hospital; Chester
L. Hazeltine, badly burned about the
hands, arms and throat; T. L. Farren,
burned about the hands and arms
The last two We're employed in the car
shop. Several others had their hair
singed. The total loss is estimated at
$500, 900, divided as nearly as can be
ascertained as follows: Building, fix
lures, etc, S18O,0OO; cars, $4,000;
machinery, tools, etc, S5O,eOO. The
insurance aggregates S11O, as fol-
lows: Building, $4,000; machinery,

in the evening, TO the house OF an &C
quaintance, where they were going to
have kind OF musicale, at which there
was to be some noted pianist, who
had kindly consented TO play a few

piece was announced, saw that the
light was very uncertain. So | kindly
volunteered to get a lampf from anoth-

wrecked British Vessel.
The American ship Frank Pendle-
ton, Capt. Nichols, from San Fran
cisco, February 13, has arrived at
Queenstown. She has on board the
mate of the British BARK Arklow, Capt.
Pye, from Manila for Montreal. The
Arklow was in collision on May s
with an unknown vessel, and WAS cut
to the waters edge. The captain, his
wife and child and ten seamen took
to the lifeboat. The mate put
of alone in a small open boat.
1t is feared that the occu-
pants Of the life-boat we're lost. The
mate had a most terrible experience.
He was for eight days without food,
water Or clothing, the clothing he hav-
irg provided himself with having been
lost by the capsizing OF his boat. He
clung TO the keel for twenty-six hours
and then succeeded in righting the
craft. He hung up his shirt for q sail
and caught 8 few f1ying-fsh, which he
ate. He proceeded slowly for six days,
looking IN vain for q sail, and then be-
came unconscious. While in this con-
dition his boat was sighted by the
Frank Pendietion and hewas rescued.
The rescue took place on May 16.

Being Punctured.
For the past year or more John L.
Sullivan, OF Boston, has been in the
habit, at intervals, OF filling himselfup
with bad whisky and amusing himself
by knocking out women and small
boys, Just to keep his hand in. These
little escapades have heretofore been
settled by money contributions from
Sullivan's pocket. A few days ago,
however, this genius OF the ring pum-
meled gambler named Meehan,
whom, 1t now appears, bas re-
celved similar treatment before at
his hands. The pummelee, after this
second encounter, got gun and went
after his tormentor, with the determi-
nation OF provoking a quarrel and
then doing up" the champion for all
time. The police were ordered to ar
rest Sullivan at the first opportunity,
alive and peaceably if possible, but to
arrest him anyway. While the officers
were looking after him, however, Suli-
van took a train for New York, where
he arrived on the night of the Goth.
He will probably make that city his
home for the present.

Very Monotonous.

Having been deprived Of the more
serious business of carrying on the Ma
tional Government, the Republican
party now devotes good deal of its
leisure time to drafting resolutions.
Those who have met with revcrses are
much given 70 telling what they did in
the days of their prosperity, and what
they would like to do for the benefit of
the human race if they had the means.
1t doubtless SOothed the feelings of the
Ancient Mariner to pour his tale into
the unwilling ears of the wedding
guest. Grief is apt to be voluble. Tlc
Republican resolutions of these DAVIS
are very long and very dreary. There

DRIFT OF THE PRESS.

IN Congress and the Legislature
the most stubborn battles have been
fought by the Democrats in behalf of
the rights Of labor and the curtailment
of the power and insolence of monopo-
lies. The neglect and Indifference OF
the Republican Senate during the past
session of Congress formed striking
contrast to the zeal of the Democratic
House on labor questions. The most
valuable work in the same cause dur.
ing the session of the Legislature wa.
done by DomOcrats.-Albaay Argus.
Yes. the Republicans do love the
working-men and the labor organiza-
tons. Their affection for them il
deep, tender and touching. The
Tribune reveals the hollowness of its
pretended regard for the labor organi
cations when it says cditorially: "Tht
candidacy of Henry George for the
New York mayoralty will not have
been wholly in vain if it shall have

There must be 4 scarcity of or.
binary timber when the Republicans OF
Cincinnati are compelled to renomi-
nate vulgas and indecent Ben Butter
worth for Congress. 1t is not long ago
that this low-down politician delivered
such 4 disgraceful speech in the House
of Representatives that the women in
the gallery left it hurriedly to escape
his vile words. The decent people OF
Cincinnati ought to combine against
Butterworth and bury him under such
an adverse vote that he would never be

There is no greater danger to
the republic than that which turks in
the purpose of the few to rule the
many. The plutocracv which led TO
the fall of Rome differed from ours
chiefly in the fact that it gathered its
wealth from the spoils of war. No
government is strengthened by such
radical departure from its basal prin-
ci2al, as is involved in substituting a
moneyed oligarchy for a manhood
democracy. 1t is the duty of the peo-
pie to resist now, and with determine
ton, the insidious efforts of Repub-
lean plutocratS.-N. l. HoTtd.
Senator Logan accuses the Dem.
ocratic party in power of extravaganza.
In one respect, we admit, it has been
little extravagant-or rather more
liberal in expenditure than its Repub-
lican predecessors. During the fiscal
year ended June 30-the first year of
a Democratic Administration paid
out in one single class of expenditures
81, 600, 900 more than was paid out the
previous year. 1t was for pensions to
disabled soldiers and the widows and
orphans of deceased soldiers. But if
Logan thinks tina: expense unjustifi-
able he ought to take into account that
the Administration saved more than
enough in other items to make it up.
The net saving. in fact, after paying
the increase OF pensions. was nearly
