This City where Noticed In the COUNTY
The shock was distinctly felt in all parts OF
the city shortly before 10 o'clock. Many
people who had retired for the night were
awakened by the noise window frames were
ratified In the sashes aud furniture was shaken
The noise made was something like tbuu-
der or an explosion. Many people ran out
into the street, thinking that an accident had
occurred. In East Walnut it appeared that
nearly everybody ielt the shock. At the
Penn iron works the shock was so heavy
that the clock was stopped at 1850. Persons
were loss to know what was the matter un-
til this morning when it was found that the
shock had been felt over nearly the entire
country.
At Quarryville the shock was quite severe,
and the NOISE was similar to that of an explo-
sion. Many persons had retired, but upon
feeling the shock hastily donned their clothes
and ran out of their houses.
At Smithville there was similar noise,
and In the store of George Smith articles
we're shaken from shelves. Reports from
other parts OF the county show that the

IN MEMORY OF MIR. TILDEN.
4 ddress of Lyman TrumbuIl Before
the Cook County Club of Chi.

caaO.
My personal acquaintance with Mr. Tilden
was limited and not sufficient to justify me
in attempting to analyze his character. His
fame rests rather on what he wrote and said
than on any of his official acts. He was a
writer of remarkable power No man has
lived in our generation who more forcibly
pointed out the true principles of Democ-
racy. The most remarkable man with the
pen in this country was Thomas JEFFERSON.
His announcement of the principles Of gov
eminent and arrangement of George III. was
the most remarkable in any language. Mr..
Tilden greatly resembled him. l speak what
l do know when l say he was fairly and tri-
umphantly elected president Of the United
States. was one of the persons who went
to New Orleans to watch the canvass of the
vote of Louisiana. He was UNANIMOUSLY, in
cautiously aud fraudulently counted out.
Some persons have blamed Mr.. Tildeu for not
asserting himself and claiming the office TO
which he was elected. 1t was trying time
in the countrys history. I was one of those
who did not believe we ought to submit to the
outrage. l believed that it was destructive
of republican institutions to allow fraudu-
lent minority to overthrow the votes of the
majority. Some members of his party
thought it was better to bring on another
contest. The party was divided on the course
to pursue. Subsequent events have shown
it was best to submit to arbitration. You all
know commission of Judges of the supreme
court was chosen to decide the matter. A po-
litical result was reached. Eight Republi-
cans did not consider the votes as they were
cast, and counted ballots that had never
been voted. If ever the same thing should
occur again, hope there will be strong arms
and stout hearts in the Democratic party
which will refuse to submit, and will act on
Jackson's motto: ASK nothing but what is
right and submit to nothing wrong
While the country will suffer great loss do
not despair. Other Tildens will arise. Lovers
of the rights of man and individual liberty
will not let republican institutions perish.

The Shakespearean polecat.

1t isn't impossible that Bacon wrote
''Shakespeare's" works, but MIR. James
Quincy, who writes to the New York Even
ing Post ''How l Became Baconian,n is
not champion who will greatly strengthen
the theory he espouses. The fact is that
almost every schoolboy reads Macauley's
essay on Bacon, which is devoted mainly
to the belittling of that most eminent crypt
ographer, so that more ridicule is thrown
on the ''BacOnian theory" than it deserves.
1t has been reserved for Mr.. Quincy to
discover an italic mark of interrogation after
roman letter, contrary to all the rules
of Typography" on page SO of the First
Folio. But that is not all. Brother Cur
ney continues:

word in question, ''powlcats," was clearly

Exactly so. Polecats, even when spelled
after the First Folio fashion. intimate to
all human beings. with noses the vicinity
of scent" and a strong one. M. Cur
ney seems to have rejoiced when he struck
it, in which respect he differs from most
polecat huntsmen.
But the fact, and the scent, remain. and

THE PENSION vETOEs.

A correspondent asks whether it is not a
fact that the pension bills vetoed by CLEvE-
LAND were those that had been presented
to Republican pension commissioner and
refused. The bills vetoed by the pres
ident were of various kinds. While they
all originated in congress, some of them
had before made their appearance in the
pension bureau. There some had been al
lowed, some had been disallowed and some
were still pending. Special legislation was
sought principally for two reasons, first to
secure the allowance of pensions which had
been refused chiefly under Republican
ommissioner, on the ground of insufficient
evidence; and second, to expedite the
allowance of claims which in the
ordinary course Of business would
not be reached by the bureau
for some time. Very many, then,
if not majority of the pension bills
hurriedly passed by congress, as is its pc
culiar custom, had already been disallowed
by the pension bureau and Mr.. CLEVELAND
in vetoing them, while following the die
tates of justice and common sense, also
acted in accordance with the precedent
established in the very same cases by Re
publican commissioner of pensions. This
fact, though, the Republican organs found
it convenient to lose sight of when, for the
purpose of manufacturing cheap capital,
they attacked the president for his course
in vetoing the bills.

STILL A GRANARY.

In view of the fact that Russia and En-
gland are once more engaging in a squabble
which may have a serious outcome, 1T is a
comforting reflection that America still re-
mains the granary of the world, in spite of
the reported crop disasters, and is thor
oughly able to supply not only the contend
ing countries, should a conflict occur and
the Indian wheat be prevented from reach
ing market, but is able also to provide for
the wants of other countries. Following
the semi-official statement that the Dakota
wheat crop is not nearly so short as had
been supposed, but is nearly up to the
usual standard, comes the August report
of the agricultural bureau, which proves
that there was much eXaggeration
regarding the injury done to crops in other
portions of the country. The total yield it
is stated, will be about 431, 900, 600 bushels
of wheat, while the first report only gave
total of 400, 900. 900. In addition to this
there is surplus of 10000. 900 from last
year still on hand. 1t will thus be seen
that there is no immediate cause for alarm
over shortage in the American crop.
Of course, on general principles, war is to
be condemned, but if England and Russia
must fight it is a consoling reflection that
they will not have to want for breadStuffs
so long as America has so much more wheat
than she knows what to do with.

him from marrying the girl and finally ht
tore Ip the marriage license and contract
with the excuse that he did not wish to TAX,
the required oath. The bride burst int
tears and there was an exciting scene anon
the guests. Then the brother and brother
inlaw of Miss Weiss took hand in tn,
matter and Fucker was informed that h
must fulfill his agreement toemarry the girl
but he still hesitated. BY this time tn

of spectators had assembled in the street
Everybody took sides with pretty Mis-
Weiss, who could be seen weeping inside
and the police had to be summoned to keel

Weiss, looking very sad, and they wer'

convention of delegates to nominate
congressional candidate in the
Sixth Mississippi district, held at
Mississippi City to-day MIR. jeff Davis, who
the stand and invited to address the con-
vention. The venerable eX-president of
the COnfederacy, after an enthusiastic
reception, uttered substantially the follow
ing sentiments He spoke of the assembled
Mississippians as brothers and fellow coun-
trymen, and said that there was a time
when he could call them fellow citizens,
but that time, alas! had passed. Yet he
felt proud to call them fellow Mississippi
plans. for he was Mississippian from head
to foot. He referred to the importance
of the work about to be done,
and the selection of man who should not
not only represent his state and section, but
the entire country. He spoke OF
the temptations to which q
congressman was exposed, surrounded
by contractors. agents and others DESTROYS
of advancing their interests OF schemes. 1t
was not difficult to send an honest
man to congress, but to get one
who could Withstand temptation and come
back honest was not an easy task. He re-
called amusing anecdotes of ante-bellum
Mississippi congressman, and re-
ferred to the brilliant records OF
Poindexter, Roberts. Brown and other
representatives, stating that the old record
of the state was as brilliant
as that of any of her size
in the Union. Concluding, Mr.. Davis said
that although he could not vote, he was
proud to be held in such high esteem by

IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.

The Republicans of the First district
have succeeded in getting into snarl that
is beautiful to look upon. They opened
their congressional convention yesterday
at Kasson by selecting a LOVELY man for
chairman, but there is no evidence in the
proceedings that Mr.. LOVELY gained a
single point, after that officer was selected.
Thirty-eight ballots were taken for a con-
gressional candidate, but the thirtyeight
stood exactly as did the first, 80 for
LOVELY, 50 for WHITE, for DUNNELL
and for MULLEN. The expected big
break in the Winona delegation did not
occur, only one Wnona county dele
gate changing over to WHITE, and his vote
was several times cast by the chairman
for LOVELY, while the backsliding dele
gate was outside seeing man. What the
outcome of this deadlock will be is exceed
ingly difficult to say, but that a dark horse
will secure the nomination in the end is
looked upon as the most probable solution
OF this very knotty problem.
