Portland milkman, was found dead sitting
bolt upright in his wagon. Heart disease
was the cause.

supposed murder here turns out to be no
murder at all. The coroner's jury returned
a verdict that the man. name unknown, died
from exposure.

Athens fire. 1t is generally thought to be
incendiary, though some think it might have
resulted from the lighting of pipe or cigar

AT HARTFORD
Mr. Blain, Addresses Five Thousand
People in the Evening.
HARTFORD. No'

HARTFORD. Nov. /.
Mr.. Blaine and his son Walker reached
this city at 6.35 and were met at the depot
by Hon. NJ. G. Bulkeley, the republican
candidate for governor, at whose residence
they dined. At 8 o'clock he was escorted by
the Bulkeley Battalion to the First Regiment
armory where 5000 people had assembled.
He was introduced by Hon. W. f. Simonds
and was received with long and continued
applause. He said that the resent campaign
was a great uprising in defence of the prin-
ciple of protection. He believed that the
defenders included a majority of the people
and trusted they included the majority of
the people of Connecticut, the State which
furnished the best illustration of the benefits
of protection. He believed that if she
voted to sustain protection, Illinois, Wis
consin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, (by 100, 900
majority aud New York would be with her.
He then dwelt upon the danger of the su-
preme courts passing into the control of the
democratic party, as they certainly would if
Cleveland was reelected. He charged the
democratic party with deliberately disfraa-
chising seven hundred thousand white men
in Dakota by keeping her out of the union
If she were in the union her six electoral
votes would place the result beyond doubt.
That is why she is kept out.
Blaine spends the night at Bulkeley's
house and will leave for New Haven tomor-
row morning.

a dramatic incident The chiefs were given
front seats. One of these happened to be-

of it, objected, and the chief was put in an
adjoining pew. The young man quietly and
firmly remarked that his brothers sayers

BERLIN, Nov. l.
The National Ieitung says: The frivoll-

provoked by pol oltical factions in America is
especially evident in the Sackville affair.
After the republicans set a trap to catch a
strkingy harmless English minister AMI dis
credit Mr. Cleveland as the candidate of the
foreigner, Mr.. Cleveland himself tries to
cross this mauuuvre by exaggerated
severity against Lord Sackville. This con
duct appears comical from the fact that Mr..
Cleveland does not leave England in doubt
as to his aim in SO acting. This kind of
thing is scarcely calculated to raise the repu-
tation of the American republic"
