A GREAT DAY
For Republicans on the Battle Ground Of
Tippecanoe, Indiana.
Mr.. Blaine Receives Prolonged Ovations
from fhrong OF People.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. II.
The day for the great demonstration on the
Tippecanoe battle ground opens clear and
warm, not threatening cloud visible. En-
thusiasm runs very high and the crowd is
enormous. 1t is calculated that 30, 900 men
are assembled on the battle ground.
Messrs. Blaine and Alger, Gen. Gibson
and other distinguished speakers arrived on
on the battle ground at l2.40. Their arrival
was announced by booming of cannon and
10 900 men gathered around the little station
The confusion was great. Blaine was not
feeling very well, he having caught slight
cold, but followed Alger and Gibson to the
tabernacle half an hour later. The NAM
moth building was crowded to sutfocation
and 0,0o0 people camoring on the outside
to get in
EI-Secretary Richard W. Thompson was
made permanent chairman. Gen. Alger ad-
dressed the multitude for half an hour, when
he declared that Gen. Benjamin Harrison
would be the next occupant of the White
House. The crowd went wild with cheers
which were re-echoed back by thousands on
the outside.
Gen. King of Baltimore was the next
speaker. In the midst of his speech Blaine
arrived. The multitude rose and cheered
frantically for several minutes.
Chairman Thompson announced that
Blaine's voice would not permit him to make
a speech today. His general health was
good but his throat was troubling him and he
must be excused. Blaine came forward and
received another ovation. The confusion,
however. was so great that he did not attempt
to say a word. Gen. Hovey tried to speak
hut was constantly interrupted by the con-
fusion. After remaining a few moments
Blaine retired to his car and left at 2.40 for
Chicago.

Meal Without Danger
EnRr WAYNE Ind Oct IL

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. II.
The day of the democratic barbecue at
Fort Wayne, Ind, dawned clear and bright
and early this morning the crowds began 10
appear on the streets. The people came by
train, wagon, floats and every conceivable
conveyance. Transportation was entirely
inadequate. After grand procession the
people assembled in the Hamilton fields
where grand glands had been erected for
the occasion.
About 1000 strangers came to town to-
day to see and honor Judge Thurman. A
procession of campaign clubs from all over
northern Indiana was reviewed by the Judge
from the balcony of the Wayne House. 1t
was almost an hour in passing. The Frances
Cleveland club, composed of girls, formed
an attractive feature. The Judge was driven
to Hamilton's fields, whittier the crowd pre-
ceded him. His appearance upon the plat
form was greeted with prolonged cheers
which continued until, without being intro
duced, he advanced to the front and spoke.
In the course of his remarks he said
Having been democrat all nv life it was
impossible for me TO see the zeal, energy,
and patriotism of the party without feeling
my heart swell with emotion and h.aking
me prouder than ever of this great worthy
democratic State. Enthusiastic cheers.
| say this democratic State because, although
am not prophet or son of a prophet, | am
about as good guesser at political results
as ever you saw laughter -, and when | am
told by your governor, by Senator Voorhees,
by my old friend Joe Mcdonald, and by di-
vers others of the patriarchs and sons of the
party, that Indiana is safe for Cleveland and
Thurman, | believe it is as | believe in the
democratic doctrine. (Applause.)

A Useful Invention.

At the invitation of Capt. J. S. Chase,
sentative of the journal visited his pleasant
home on Patterson street yesterday after
noon to witness the workings of new inven-
ton.
As the science of hygiene progresses the
fact becomes more and more &C rtan that the
health of community depends in great
measure upon the purity of the drinking
water, an easy process for the Qualification
of which has for some years been an i'm
portant problem for physicists. Capt. Chase
has just completed simple invention which
bids fair to solve the difficulty. The appar-
atus consists simply of a teakettle, piece
of tin tubing and hollow corrugated cylin-
der, the cross section of which would be
shaped like hub of wheel with extended
spokes. Capt. Chase filled the kettle with
a mixture of lye and salt water and then set
it upon the stove where it soon boiled merri-
ly. The steam passing through the tube en-
| tered the narrow spokes Of the cylinder,
presented to the cool air it rapidly condenses
and a stream of absolutely pure water
| trickles out. The invention has Just been
patented and will be rapidly pushed by g
Boston company. 1t will be invaluable Ia
people on shipboard and to those unable tc
procure a supply of pure water elsewhere
The small apparatus exhibited makes abou
one gallon an hour and larger ones can b,
constructed which will distiI any amount

Cox rose to a question of privileges and
went into an explanation and denial on the
charge of the New York Tribune that he used
his frank ON unfrankable matter. There
was a general discussion of tne illegal use of
the franking privilege for campaign pur-
poses During the discussion Cox said
that the Postmaster General stated that un-
fankable matter had been sent through the
mails nnder the frank of representatives
Hovey of Indiana, Kean of New Jersey and
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Hovey
stated that the use of his frank was not au-
thorized by him. The department had re-
ceived no explanation from the other gentle
men. Cox said that unfrankable matter
was still sent out by Quay and others not
wthstanding the Postmaster General had
called attention to it. The Postmaster Cen
eral SO stated and Mansur of Missouri told
him that Missouri was being flooded with
such documents under the frank of Senator
Quay He held in his hands certain docu-
meuts directed to r. X. Hurd Newburn, n.

of Senator Quay.
Bayne showed that the docments sent un-

sending out campaign documents to call at
tention to their contents by such means.
Discussion ensued as to whether the use of
sub-heads rendered unfranka5le matter
otherwise frankable, the weight of opinion
being that it did not Bayne called attention
to the fact that Breckenridge of Kentucky
was sending out speeches with sub-heads.

Jupiter is still the most conspicuous object
in the evening sky on moonless nights. At
the end of the month Venus will divide the
honors with it. Although Jupiter is moving
to the eastward its pace is slow compared
with that of the sun and Venus. Jupiter
now sets about two hours later than the sun.
while at the end of the month it will sink
below the horizon about an hour and a
quarter after the sun goes down. Mars, like
Jupiter, is still a prominent object in the
southwesterly part of the armament for two
hours or moye after sunset. In the early
days of September, Mars passed to the east
ward Of Jupiter, and the distance between
the two luminaries is steadily increasing.

PETROLEUM EXPLODES
On Board French Steamer, Tearing Oft
Deck and Sides

CALAIS, France, Oct. II.
The force of the explosion of petroleum
yesterday, on board the French steamer Vile
de Calais, which arrived here Oct. 10th from
Philadelphia, tore off the deck and partly
carr ed away her sides. Only the forward
portion of the vessel sank, and the fire is
raging tercely in that portion above water.
The wreck is lying at the upper dock.
Another ship, the King, lying in the vicin-
ity of the steamer, was much damaged by
the explosion.
1t is feared that the loss of life was great.
Portions of dozen bodies have been found
lying about in shocking confusion. The
Vile de Calais was steel screw steamer of
1921 tons, and was built at New Castle, Eng
land
