Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-12-14


 At 8 o'clock on that night the soft footed and soft voiced detective presented himself at Cations office, and found the lawyer inn patiently waiting for him. Kilsip closed the door softly, and then taking seat opposite to Calton waited for him to speak. The law yer, however, first handed him cigar, and then producing 8 bottle of whisky and two glasses from some mysterious recess he filled one and pushed it toward the detective. Kill sip accepted these little attentions with the utmost gravity, yet they were not without their effect on him, as the keen eyed lawyer saw.
 Calton was great believer in diplomacy, and he practiced what he preached, and knowing that Kilsip had that feline nature which likes to be stroked and made much of, he paid him these little attentions, which he knew would make the detective willing to do everything in his power to help him. Calton also knew the dislike that Kilsip entertained for Gorby, and so, by dexterous manage ment, he calculated upon twisting him, clever as he was, round his finger, and as subsequent events showed, he had not reck- oned wrongly. Having thus got into sym pathetic frame of mind and in 8 humor to bend his best energies to the work he wanted him to do, Calton started the conver- sation.
 "I suppose" he said, leaning back in his chair and watching the wreaths of blue smoke curling from his cigar, ''I suppose you know all the ins and outs of the hanson cab murder?"
 "Ishould rather think so," said Kilsip, with a curious light in his queer eye. Why, Gorby does nothing but brag about it and his smartness in catching the supposed mur- | dereri"

MARIETTA,
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
VI the First Settlement Of the Northwest
Territory.
EVENTS OF 4 BRILLIANT. DAY.
Addresses by Governor Foraker and Senator
HOar.

DeeG! Telegram 10 he Sunday Register.
MARIETTA, W. Va, April IA nation
al salute Of IS guns ut sunset tonight an
nOnneed that the great day of Marietta's
Centennial was over. The weather has
been beautiful as though made for the Oc-
casiOn. The city put on a gala appearances.
Every public building and store and many
dwelling houses were beautifully decorated.
The interior Of City Hall presented a
magnificent appearance. The ceiling and
walls were decorated with bunting, flags,
banners, coats Of srms and various other
heraldic designs. II was the work Of an
artist, and was specially commented on by
many. The 'Relic Rooms were visited
by thousands, and we'll were they repaid
for going. An entire house of eight rooms
was filed with mementoes of the past ar
ranged most attractively. Everything was
nest ancient, numbers of articles ante
dating the revolution by many years.
The fifteenth of July people took this
occasion TO advertise their celebration and
circulated bills of every description. The
rivalry between the two organizations vas
evident in all parts OF the town from the
signs and placards that meet the strangers
at every corner. Probably ten housand
strangers were in Marietta to-day, and
anon, them were noticed 3 large delega-
ton from W. Va. In the two principal
orators: Senator HOar, Of Massachusetts,
and Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker, Of Yir-
GINA, were represented twodifferent types
of the c~iyalizItion Of the United States.
In their oratiOns this difference was ap-
parent. Both addresses were scholarly.
The absence OF DR.. l. W. Andrews, ex-
President Of Marietta College, who is criti-
cally i'll in New Englaud, was the subject
of general regret. Tonight a public re-
ception was held by the distinguished
guests, and the City Hall is crowded to
meet them. To. morrow there will be 70.
Egious exercises Of an appropriate charac-
ter, among which will be a sermon in the
evening by Edward Everett Hale.
Old Marietta, the doorway to the North
west, has had q gala centennial, and the
bonds of sympathy and kindly feeling be-
tween Virginia aud her sons Of the north
west territory are stronger tonight than
ever before.

chicago Democratic Factions.

CHICAGO, April Tt is believed thai
were not the Democratic National Conven'
tion to be held in so short a time Postmss
ter Judd would be called upon to resign,
and it is not at all improbable that he may
hand in his resignation before June next,
There is, and has been, a desperate Ugh,
in the local Democracy, and should what
is known as the Cloudy wing, to which MI
Judd belongs, be defeated, the Postmaster
wcuId have to go. Its argued that should
he be- removed now the Democracy would
be seriously weakened snd the GOudy Gle
ment so a~ntsgouized that the administers
ton would be seriously embarrassed IN
the county. 1t is also said that if the del
egstion to st. Louis is chosen in accord,
aUee with the programme now laid ou'
Judd will surely feel the axe.

this Joyous event
After music Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, U. s
Senator from Massachusetts,, was intro
duced aud delivered his Grafton.
Senator Hoar's Speech. .
Senator Hoar's address was an eloquent
an scholarly resume of the growth Of the
Northwestern States, traceable to New
England's influence. After q vivid pic
ture of the growth of the great territory
now divided into five immense empires,
he referred to the influences that had
wrought this grand development, and the
character Of the first settlers at Marietta,
conveying an eloquent tribute to theil
leader.
GAS I have read the story Of these brave
men-of some Of them for the first time
in the sober pages of Hildreth. the histo.
rian Of the Pioneers, l could not help ap-
plying to Ohio the proud boast of Perciles
concerning Athens: ATHENS alone among
her contemporaries is superior 10 the report
Of her. OF how few Hellenes can it be
said, as Of them, that their deeds, when
weighed in the balance, have been equal
TO their famt?" But what al be said
which shall be adequate to the worth Of
him who was the originator, inspirer,
leader and guide Of the Ohio settlement
from the time when he first conceived il
in the closing days Of the Revolution until
Ohio took her place in the Union % a free
State in the summer of 1903"
Senator Hoar continued giving a graphic
description of the trials of the early set
tiers, and the difficulties under which they
labored.
After the Grafton Of Senator Hoar was
delivered, ex.President Hayes was called
ont and made a brief address. spirited and
eloquent. He was followed by Mr.. Bern
ard Peters, editor Of the Brooklyn IN. Y
Times in a graphic sketch Of the German
pioneers. A recess was then taken for
dinner, and at 1890 a salute Of 100 guns
was fired, and all the bells in the city
were rung in honor of the Maylower's
landing 100 years ago. The invited guests
were taken TO the armory, where they
were served with a luncheon. In the
afternoon several overflow meetings were
held at the churches, while at che city
hall, Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker made an
grafton. He was followed by Hon. E f.

report from Berlin that Prince Bismarck
had had q serious difference with the
Kaiser and wal threatening retirement.

OF Prince AleXander's forthcoming be.
trothal TO Princess Victoria, Of Russia.
How much the denials arc worth IL ia
difficult to say, but It Is at least apparent
that Prince Bismarck is restless and sulky
under the new regime. Heretofore he has
had 10 do with men alone; he finds him
self now confronted with three generations
Of Victorias, all blessed with true Guelphic
sentimentality and obstinacy. No wonder
he Is uncomfortable. Still less II II strange
that he resists the Bsttenberg marriage,
which would displease the great bulk Of
the German people, anger the German
army official classes, enrage and affront
the Car Of Russia and perhaps precipitats
var itself.

BURIAL AT NIGHT.
Strange Secrecy Concerning he Funeral
of Jacob Sharp.

Strange Secrecy Concerning the Funeral
of Jacob Sharp.
NEW YORK, April 7.-Nothing definite
can be learned as to when the funeral OF
Jacob Sharp will take place.
The family refuse to give any informa.
ton on the subject, and even the under.
taker in charge is as ignorant on the mat
ter as the public. He has merely been
told to have everything in readiness to
hold the funeral at any hour lie may be
called on.
1t is thought the body will be taken
from the house for burial 70 -night, the rela-
tives hoping thus to evsde the obtrusion OF
curiosity seekers. Only relatives and the
most intimate friends Of the family are ad-
mitted to the house. The int.rment will
probably be in Greenwood Cemetery.
1t is not at all unlikely that Mrs Sharp
mayisOon follow her husband 10 the grave.
Her untiring devotion to him through all
his troubles has completely broken her
down, and she now lies at her home in q
precarious condition. From the time when
her husband was first brought within the
pale of the law, and covering the period
of his incarceration in Ludlow Street Jail,
her attentions have been unceasing, and
now that the one she loved so well has
been taken away, she has succumbed to
grief and physical exhaustion.

lied labor everywhere. The scale goes
down to the $40 basis. 1t gives one man
the privilege of cutting the price down to
that point and we, the workmen, must
follow. I told Mr.. Carnegie that he was
asking an impossibility when he wanted
men to work IL hours q day in this mill.
It was hard enough to work eight hours.
If the scale wa signed, I told him, very
few of the men who undertook the twelve
hours work would be able to work at all
in the mill by this time next year. We
work all in q lump at this mill, and it
takes even now twelve men to do what
eight men can do in other mills. Then 1t
is an impossibility for rs to accept the
scale.
The deafening applause that greeted Mr..
Jamison's sentiments was sure indication
that the feeling Of the great majority was
against the acceptance Of the proposition.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Stewart, q
bright young colored man, JOS. L. Evans,
David Miller, Blair Miller and John Doyle,
District Master Of the X. Of L.
Mr.. Doyle said that it was not the inten-
ton of the d. A. to order the men back to

NEW YORK, April IA reporter visited
Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, at his resi-
dence, in Williamsburg, yesterday, to hear
what he had to say in regard to meeting
Charley Mitchell, since it is said Mitchell
will again come to these shores. Demp-
sey's attention having been called to the
statement of Pony Moore that Dempsey's
challenge had not arrived yet, he said with
a disdainful smile:
That's all bosh. ! never sent q chal-
lenge. If Mitchell wants to fight he
knows where to find me. My money is al
ways ready, and he need not fear that we
will not give him square stand-up fight.
And, furthermore, the quicker Mitchell
puts in IN appearance the better 1t will
suit me, as it will be the happiest moment
of my life when / meet him in q 24-foot
ring, London prize ring rules, and / want
it distinctly understood that the battle
must be to a finish for from S., 900 to 500
600 a side. l will have nothing TO do with
Mitchell in a four, eight or ten-round
glove contest. l don't call that fighting,
although it may do for a show. I don't
see my way clear as yet. l have
challenged Mitchell often when he
was in this country without receiving any
reply, excepting that I was not in his class.
Now l am making money and doing a good
business, and would like TO be let alone,
and take care of my mother, wife and
child, but Charley Mitchell has aggravated
me so much that l would like to meet him
in the ring, if it is only for fun, and l
don't mean to be a blower, but will do as
l say"
James Wakely said: II don't believe
that there is a man born that can 60 to
England and beat Mitchell. The crowd
will not let him be licked
Mike Gleason, Of Boston, said: "All
the sporting men of the country would go
broke on Jack Dempsey beating Mitchell
at his own walking match. Mitchell could
not get away from Jack"
