HILL AT PHILADELPHIA.
NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR TALKS TO
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.

He Urges Them to Elect Their Lieutea-
Chair-Blaine and the Tarifr-An Al
legged Letter by John Jarrett Against
Morrison of IL linois.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ]. Governor Hill
OF New York addressed great Democratic
mass-meeting at the Academy of Music Fri
day evening. He was received with uproar.
ious applause He began with the remark:
II come here tonight to ask you to follow
the example of New York and elect your
lieutenant governor to the governorship Of
your state. That will be true civil service
reform. There are many reasons why he
should be elected, but there is one which is
sufficient to me: He is a Democrat" and
then, after asserting that none of the evils
predicted by Republicans to ariso out of DEM
ocratic administration had como % pass, said
the Democracy had not accomplished all that
lt desired because I'VE have been thwarted
by q Republican senate of the United States
You must bear in mind that there was little
use for the Democratic party i'll the house Of
representatives to frame measures which
were only to be ptgeon-holed by a Repub-
hcan senate. The people of this country have
no right to hold us entirely responsible for
what has been done or omitted to be done II
they will in the few states in which elections
are now to take place SO vote as to give US
the control of all the departments of the gov
ernment, then we can properly be held to re-
Sponsibility. And we will accept that re-
sponsibility."
He then turned his attention to Blaine's
speeches on the tariff, claiming that the
Maine statesman had changed his mind when
he spoke for the upholding of the tariff, as
he had written letter (which was produced)
in 1888 in which he said the surplus was $780,
OO0,OOO too large and should be reduced The
governor then declared that Blaine was also
In antagonlsm to the Republican national
platform of 1884 which declared for revis |
lon OF the tariff, and that, said he, was all |
the Democrats wanted. He denied that the |
Democrats of the south had suppressed the |
negro vote, and said the Republicans had |
better turn their attention to Rhode Island. |
where foreign born citizens were not permit |
ted the right of suffrage until they owned |
real estate.
At the close of Governor Hills speech the |
meeting was addressed by Congressman Ran |

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
No Immediate Improvement of business
in Sight-Railway EarninRs

No Immediate Improvement of Business
in sight-Railway Earnings.
NEW YORK, Nov. Special kilograms to
Bradstreet's, while recording a somewhat
improved movement in merchandise at Chi
cago, Burlington and Davenport, Iowa, at
Kansas City and New Orleans, reflect on
the whole continuance Of the late check to
general trade. While this appears to be Of
a seasonable character, after the recent
period of active trading, there is little in
sight at the moment to suggest an immediate
improvement, although public confidence in
its appearance in the near future is un-
abated From a number of points word
comes that mercantile collections are made
with less ease, which is attributed in part to
the low prices Of staple farm products. At
most Of the cities reporting better business
cooler weather preceded it.
Special reports of earnings of forty-five
railway companies during the third week in
October give a total of S4,697, 12S, against
$4,5S3, III in 1885, a gain of ~ per cent.
The western money markets generally con-
tinue quite firm with the current of funds
still to the west. The demand for funds for
general commercial and industrial enter
priSes at most large cities continues masked.
The transactions of the New York stock ex-
change for the week were 1,760, 153 shares,
against 2,52S, ,275 shares last week. The dis
tribution Of dry goods from eastern centers
has been noticeably checked, though prices
are strongly held. The demand for raw wool
from manufacturers is not so large as in
September, though the decreased demand
from the eastern knitting mills has caused no
weakness yet. The strength recently shown
in iron and steel is fully maintained.

A Remarkable Letter Alleged to Have
Been W ritten by John Jarrett.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. IA letter bearing the
date: THE American Timed Plate associs
tion, Room 49, Lewis Block, Pittsburg, Pa, =
from John Jarrett, ex-president Of the Anal

morning in The Belleville News Mr.. Jar
rett intimates to the Belleview gentleman
that as Mr.. Morrison, the Democratic candi

ponent. Mr.. Jarrett.says that although he is
only workingman him self and honorary
member Of the Amalgamated ass ociation,
and an active member of the knights of La
Dor, still he can manage to pay the Belle

AN APPALLING DEATH SCENE
Ali Eyewitness Describes the Fearful
DEATH of Mrs Scaarar

All Eyewitness Describes the Fearful
Death of Mrs. Scherer.
CHICAGO, Nov Capt. James Dwight
or st. raul, Mlnn., was On the Inflated Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul train which was
wrecked at East Rio, and described the
scene to a reporter Capt Dwight said:
II was all through the war, but never
witnessed more frightful death scene thar
that of the poor woman, Mrs Conrad Scherer.
When got to the day-coach it was ablaze.
The flames lighted up everything around.
Mrs. Scherer's face was 1lainly to be seen.
She partially leaned out of the coach
and made two or three efforts to extricate her
limbs from the wreckage that held her down.
We pressed forward to her aid. Quicker
than thought she had lifted a little child 3 or
4 years Of age and placed it in the arms of
the first man to reach her. The little thing
screamed and chung to its mothers neck, but
she tore its hands off and fairly threw it
from her. She turned back into the car,
took up another baby, clasped it to her
bosom, and then forced it from her into the
hands stretched up from without to take it,
"'Give them to their father she gasped.
His name is Scherer and he lives in Wi
nona.'
Just then saw two men grasp her on
either side. The light was so bright that
their figures and faces were perfectly dis
tinct. One Of the the men at once recog-
nized as Bishop Whipple of Minnesota. They
tried to lift her out, but she was weighed
down. They endeavored to move the debris
but it was unavailing.
"'You can not save me. Save yourselves
said the woman.
''She threw up her hands and moaned in
her agony. Her head fell forward and
though her body was erect she seemed nm
conscious. The good bishop was still vainly
trying to extricate her from the weight that
held her fast The flames were creeping
upon him and already singeing his clothing
and hair. Then, when a fresh volume of
fire burst up directly in his face, he reached
forward and half supported the dying
woman. He placed one hand on her head
and turning his face upward his lips moved
as if in prayer. Then the man who had
aided him in his endeavor to save her pulled
him away.
"The woman's figure burned until it was
black and charred Across the car from
Mrs Scherer some one was wedged down out
of sight, except the arms. The hands moved
wildly for space, then futtered convuls
lively, and finally dropped out of view"

1t is generally supposed that it is the
duty of the sheriff to capture other people,
but the order was reversed last Saturday
evening, and the sheriff himself was the
captured party. He was not only captured.
but was confined in jail-hoist with his own
petard, as it were. 1t happened in this wise;
His good wife had let it be known that il was
Johns Dist birthday, and his friends, to the
number of thirty or forty, determined to make
a raid on him, which they did, taking him so
completely by surprise that he surrendered
at discretion.
In the course of the evening, Mr.. Todd
was presented with an elegant easy chair. as
a token OF the regard and friendship of his
assembled friends. He undertook to acknow
ledge the gift, but, realizing that he was o
prisoner, abandoned the attempt. An elegant
supper was served by Mrs Todd, which all
enjoyed to the utmost. After spending an
exceedingly pleasant evening, the company
broke up at a late hour-almost Sunday
morning-wishing the genial colonel and his
family many happy returns of the day.
