IRISH AMERICANS FOE PROTECTION

Thousands of Them Turn Out to Hear
Blaine In New York-nc DenOunces the
British Minister for EIectioneerInG for
Cleveland.
New YoRK, Oct. 2j.-Irishmen turned
out in full force tonight to attend the
mass meeting of the Irish Protectionists
at Madison Square Garden. The i'm
mense building was crowded to over.
flowing half an hour before the meeting
was called to order, and the adjacent
streets were thronged with peo.
pie eager to get n glimpse OF james
G. Blaine, the attraction OF the night.
Seven thousand persons were in the
building at o'clock when Judge A. L.
Morrison, Of Arizona, read on behalf OF
Chairman Patrick Ford an address in
which these passages occurred: "We
are here tonight not rs Irishmen to
consult for the interest OF Ireland, but
us Americans to discuss American affairs
with American ends in view."
Patrick Egan and DAVID Healy spoke,
and Mr.. Blaine commenced after mes
sage from General Harrison had been
read. MIR. Blaine said:
Mn. CnAIRMAN:-I speak tonight to
men OF Irish birth, but not in relation to
their connection with the British En-
pire. l speak to them in relation to
their citizenship Of the great American
republic. Applause.
So great is the agricultural wealth Of
ireland that only forty years ago she
shipped greater amount OF produce
across the channel OF England than the
United States exported to all countries
greater than the empire OF Russia sent
to the other countries OF Eu-
rope, and with all OF this where
is Ireland to-day? She shares the
fate OF Ill countries purely agricultural,
she shares the fate that would in larger
degree overtake the United States il the
free trader should have his way and re-
duce us to an agricultural people. Zap
plause.
And yet tonight the fear is that ma
jorty OF the Irish voters OF America, OF
the Irish-AmeFiean voters, will cast
their ballots on the 9Th day OF November
as the present government OF England
would desire them 10 cast IL. Cries Of
"No," "No."l / wish | could make
that no n large majority OF the Irish vote
of the United States. For the last
four months the Democrats have been
denying and the Republicans have been
affirming that the first and last and
constant wish OF England was that Mr..
Cleyeland's administration should be
sustained by the whole force and effect
OF English public opinion. And Just
when they had begun to make
an expression and an impression
upon the American people, that such
might not be the fact, we have the letter
of the British minister to Washington
himself [groansl urging the recollection
of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Blaine spoke al
length on the recent letter written by
the British minister urging Cleveland
election. He said the action OF West IL
view of his position was disgraceful,

Special Dispateh to he Iaie'iigenecr.
CLARKsBURG, W. VA, Oct. 25.-An ac-
cident of somewhat peculiar character
occurred at the B. & O. railroad depot
this morning. As the Cincinnati and
St. Louis express train rolled into the
station one of the car couplers broke,
causing the train to separate. The bell
cord broke in the day coach, causing
the little brass coup.er that connects
the cords to become detached and strik-
ing the Rev. Father Tracy on the head,
inflicted flesh wound an inch and a
haif long. The train was fortunately
brought to stop before any further
damage was done.

put on holiday appearance this morn

called upon General Harrison during the
morning, and the General took him for
a drive. 1t was $3.50 o'clock when the
head Of the column entered the circle
from Meriden street. The column
opened ranks at General Harrison's res
idenGe, and the Generals carriage with
escort passed down through the enthus-

The parade, while q creditable affair as

Of Brooke county late Wednesday after
noon. It came about in this manner:
Archibald Campbell, OF Holidays Cove,
Hancock county, was out driving Tues
day afternoon, and when about opposite
the residence OF Mrs j. II. Osborne,
also OF Hancock county, he pulled out
his handkerchief for the purpose, rs he
says, OF blowing his nose. Mrs. Osborne,
who was watching him, took it rs an in
suit, however, and about 5 O'Clock We'd
nesday afternoon called him to an nc
count by going up TO him and shooting
him with revolver. The ball took
effect in his right arm, about four inches
below the shoulder joint, inhicting an
ugly wound. No arrests have been
made.

otAIl Registered Letters.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The mail pouch
which left Boston Tuesday and arrived
in Chicago last evening over the Nichi-
gan Southern railroad was robbed Of all
the first class mail matter it contained.
The stolen packages consisted of regis.
tered letters, and the supposition is that
a large amount OF money was secured by
the thief. The riAed pouch came to this
city in charge of Railway Mail Clerk
Stevenson, to whom it was turned over
at Cleveland. On reaching the Chicago
postoffice he Immediately reported the
robbery TO Inspector Kidder.
The bag had been cut open, the thief
taking the package containing the first
class matter. This leads to the belief
that the perpetrator OF the robbery was
some one connected with the postal SER
vice. The robbery is supposed to have
been committed sometime after leaving
Boston and before reaching Cleveland.
The bag was transferred but once since
leaving Boston-at Albany. Mail Clerk
Stevenson is confident that the deed
could not have been done on his run,
as none but the regular men were in the
car, and none OF these approached that

In the trial OF Van Baker for the mur-

at Wellsburg yesterday, Sheriff Robert

that he stood near when Barley Camp

Baker said: every well, am

innocence" and that he did not say "My

William Chapman, Deputy Sheriff,
also denied that Baker said when ar
rested "My God you are not going to ar
rest me for this crime" He said he was
ready to go, or something OF that kind.
Other witnesses testified favOrably to Ba-
ker's conductthe evening OF the murder.
Some medical evidence was also heard.
The defense seem to be laboring un-

called fail to respond and one sent word

By others this missing witness sent
word that he would come and q dispatch

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-The fact
that orators who were advocating the
election of Cleveland frequently seem to
be at loss for language in which to ex-
press the appreciation which they feel

these same speakers really have any
personal liking for the gentleman now
in the White House. A letter has been
received here froma appointment Democrat

on the stump during the present cam

for an important office, in which he says:

Season.


Season.
DETROIT, Oct. 25.-The cabbage ship
ping season is now in full blast, and the
roads leading from the country to the
various railroad freight yards are
thronged every morning with wagons
loaded high with cabbages. They are a
leading crop around this city, and the
shipments now average 10000 heads n
day.
The shipments go to Cincinnati, Lou
isville, Evansville, Nashville, Memphis,
Baltimore, Columbus, Richmond and
Norfolk, Va, and an occasional car to
New Orleans. Last year Detroit cab
bage raisers did very good business.
The crop here was large, while it was n
practical failure around Chicago. This
made Detroit take leading place and
the urgent demand sent prices up.
Raisers in some cases received rs high us
81 per hundred heads, the average being
about 81 so. This year the crop is plen-
tiful here and elsewhere, and more are
offered than this market can absorb.
Twenty cars per day could easily be
loaded here at present II the demand
would justify it. AS usual in such cases,
prices are lower, and market gardener
this year receives about 81 50a2 90 per
100 heads. Shipments from Detroit this
season will reach over 100000 heads,
which will be sufficient to produce
nearly 10000 barrels OF sour kraut.

NEw YoRK, Oct. 25.-Nothing in this
campaign has so stirred up the Irish peo-
pie of both political stripes as the i'm
pertinent and insulting letter Of Lord
Sackville-West, British Minister, of
Washington, intimatlng that it would
be source OF great satisfaction to the
British Government to see Cleveland
reelected. Loud denunciations OF Cleve-
land are heard on every hand here, and
Irish Democrats whose national pride
is thus touched by this attempt of
foreign minister TO spread the
idea that Cleveland is in direct
sympathy with the British Government
rouniiy anathematize the whole thing.
Conspicuous Irish-Americans here de-
clared to-day that Cleveland was always
British when he has had the chance and
that his administration has taken every
possible opportunity to promote British
interests, resisting every effort OF Con-
gress to put stop to outrages against

is in sympathy with the movement
which is the enemy of Ireland and

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25.-The worlds cham.
pionship base ball contest, between the
st. Louis and New York teams, was
settled to-day by the overwhelming de-
feat of the Browns by the Giants. Buck
Ewing's all around work is largely re-
sponsible for the Browns defeat not
only in this game, but throughout the
series. His presence in the team to-day
went far towards securing the victory, as
he not only caught Keefe in mastery
style, but he knocked out home run
in the first inning and with three men
on buses in the third, sent them all home
on his three.bagger to center, which
Herr irightfully misjudged. Keefe
never pitched in better style and was
magniiicently supported. The New
Yorks have clearly outplayed the
Browns in the series and they deserve
their triumph. The score was as
