moved an official inquiry into the conduct of the

of July, when. he said, the police wantonly
attacked respectable citizens on the occasion of
the declaration of the poll, causing saturnaia
of violence He said he never before witnessed
such period of horror and excitement. This
remark elected laughter, whereupon Mr.. Lewis
exclaimed, ut is no laughing matter"
Mr.. Sexton-You made the horror and excite

MIR. Morley said the whole case rested upon

Jones, of Florida, would be the signal for the

tire change In the manner, appearance and aims
of the Irish Senator are striking and worthy of
note. Jones no longer drinks whisky dresses
carelessly, talks loudly, or follows with pinug
heart the young Detroit maiden whom he so long
sought to marry: At the timo when the news
papers ali over the country were having little
amusement over Jones' pursuit of the tender pas
sion he was quite lion id Detroit. Then when
no power on earth was potent enough to send
him to his place in Washington he became a
bore. The conyivial young land ,od) bloods
who had made things so pleasant for
him when he first came to Detroit forsook him
in disgust, and left him to his own sweet de-
vices. Jones grew moody and sulen. He be-
came careless in his habits and dress. and drank
more than was good for him. He has at last
sis has taken place Some weeks ago, about the
time Congress adjourned, Jones decided to brace
up and 60 back to Florida, and become candidate
for Senator again. The first part of his good
resolution he has carried out. He has braced
up. and is to-day as gen temanly appearing a
man as Is to be found on the streets Of Detroit.
He has not drunk a drop OF liquor for
four months; the rudy flush of his countenance
is gone; he is no longer found upon the street
corners and in the hotel corridors and bar-rooms
talking politics, and in both manner and dress
he has become quiet, modest, digniied gentle
man. The love mission which brought him to
Detroit. and which has proved so unfortunate
for him, has long since been abandoned as has
been his whilom intention of beginning life anew
in one of the Western States or Territories. He
will 60 back to Florida apologize to the people
for his desertion of them for year and half,
and in January, when the Legislature meets, be-
come candidate for third term in the United
States Senate. Many of his friends have ad-
vised him to pursue this course. and his common
sense of which he has considerable, has urged
him in the same direction. He has bitter enc
mics in Florida, and some stanch friends. In
Detroit bets are about on his success or fail
ure to again obtain seat in the Senate.

In reference TO his failure to go home to Erie
he said: "When read the garbled reports in the

accident on the fiaeman of train No. Al

Brewer, of the excursion train, for caus-

to promise, and testified, throwing the blame on
the fagman, but did not succeed in convincing
the jury. There was a minority report, how
ever, which attributed the accident to misun-

THE NEEDS OF CHARLESTON.
Gen. Fairchild Talks of the Distress and
What the G. A. r. Proposes To Do.
New York Special.

New York Special.
Gen. Lucius Farchild, of Wisconsin, COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Republic, has
returned from Charleston, where he went to see
if the people needed aid. The old veteran was
at the Fifth-avenue Hotel this forenoon, his
armless left sleeve neatly pinned up and the
insignia of his order conspicuously placed on his
broad, double breasted Prince Albert coat. To
a reporter he gave description Of the suffering
and damage done in Charleston by the earth
quake, and what the Grand Army would do He
said:
"The people need assistance in the stricken
city, and the sooner the better. The poorer
classes are especially deserving of charity, and
unless they get help before winter sets In much
suffering will follow. They are nearly all DOOR
and live in small houses Their houses need re-
pairing. and they are not able to do it, When
the widows and orphans are first relieved by the
funds we propose to raise them. the overplus
will be given to the poor men. l think
the Grand Army will respond nobly
There are 5000 posts and 5000 vii
Army men reside. Committees will be
appointed at each post, and the villages will be
canvassed. By this means we hope to raise a
large fund. When / arrived at Charleston never
thought of Sumter, and the sections North and
South never entered my mind, but only feeling
that these were our people, loyal to the same
flag as |, and In distress. feel toward them the
same as 1 would toward any city similarly
stricken at the North. Those who fought in the
war for and against the Union have no bitter
luminosity. have none in my breast / know,
and to-day. il l should meet the soldier whose
aim made this armiess sleeve. would grasp his
hand by the only hand he left me and have no
hard feeling toward him. believe all the Grand
Army men feel as do. / went around a great
deal aud among other sights I stood upon the
battery and gaZed upon Fort Sumter or where
it was once. But did not reflect upon the fiery
and bloody times of the past; only thought Of
what came for-to give relief to the suffering
people. Much of the debris in the streets was
cleaned, and the people had gained confidence to
a great extent"
The General has issued an official order to the
Grand Army, reci:ing the above facts and asking
for aid.
