sEoLEvELAND's SURE VICTORY.
Treasury Solicitor Carey's Views on
the Great struggle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Hon. Charles S.
Carey, solicitor of the treasury, who lives
in Olean, N. Y, has just returned from a
visit to his home. He says the claims made
in the republican newspapers as to western
New York are simply prepos;erous. He
says there is no tariff scare anywhere in
Western New York, and that more republi-
cans will vote the democratic ticket than
democrats will vote the republican ticket
on the tariff question.
THE IRISH VOTE.
The significant feature of the situation in
New York is, he says. the change in the at
titude of the IriShmen. Had ditnot been for
the democratic Irishmen who voted for
Blaine in 1884. Cleveland would have had
10000 majority. This year at least 50 per
cent. of those Irshmen who voted for
Blaine in 1884 will vote for Cleveland. Mr..
Carey says the democrats will make gains
in Albany, Buffalo ard Rochester, and in
other cities outside of New York.
VOTE OF THE RURAL DISTRICTS.
The republicans will come down to
Harlem bridge with .less than $1,000 ma
iority The vote in New York city will be
the larger for the triangular mayoralty
fight. The democratic factions will watch
each other to prevent trading. As for the
west, Judge Carey, who was recently In
Chicago also, and got the democratic news
from half a dozen states at the lroquois
club, predicts that the republicans will be
astonished at the majorities against them.
QUAY A BAD BARGAIN.
They are unfortunate in Chairman Quay.
he says. Mr.. Quay may have done well
enough in Pennsylvania, but he can't make
his Pennsylvania methods fit a national
campaign. There are too many patriotic
ment in the country. Mr.. Carey SAID:
~ have no doubt that to-day there are as
many men saying to themselves quietly that
they will rebuke bribery by their party
managers by voting the opposite ticket as
those are who are planning to sell their
votes"
81 believe" concluded Mr.. Carey, s'that
President Cleveland will get the largest
electoral vote that any democrat ever got"

Two Cases Postponed by the United
States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The case of the
North Carolina special tax bonds was called
in the supreme court Of the United States
to-day After the counsel on both sides had
announced their readiness to proceed, the
justices held an informal consul
tation. The chief justice then announced
that the court desired full bench TO hear
this case, as it involved constitutional
question. AS Justice Matthews was i'll,
the court would adjourn the hearing
for the present. Justice Miller then stated
that there was another reason beside the
illness of Judge Matthews. The court
might be equally divided on the question
involved, aud that would not be satisfactory
to either side. The argument was then adj
journed for a hearing before the full bench
The case Of Bernard B. Hans VS.. the state
of Louisiana, involving a similar question,

Causes Collision.

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. 16.-A coils
ion occurred on the Pottsville division of
the Lehigh Valley railroad, near Tamenend,
about o'clock this morning, between a

train.
SIX LABoRERS KILLED.

six Of whom were instantly killed. Twen-
ty-six were injured, two of them dying
while being conveyed to hospital

The injured were removed to the Miners
hospital at Ashland
The killed and injured men were all on
the gravel train with the exception of one
brakeman on the Pennsylvania train, who
was killed on his own train. So far as is
known, the responsibility rests upon the
shoulders of the hagman, who failed to flag
the freight train in time to prevent an ac-
cident.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Much surprise and
dissatisfaction was expressed by the cable
car men of the north division when they
reported for duty this morning and were
informed that the grip cars were thereafter
to be run by the new men hired during the
late strike. The old employees were allowed to
run grip cars Yesterday, and they supposed
that they would continue to do So The new
grip men are entirely from Kansas City. BY
this arrangement about 100 OF the old men
found themselves with nothing to do to-day.
The superintendent informed them that the
new men would continue to run the grips,
and that the old men who were displaced
would be distributed among the various
horse car lines. The grip cars were guarded
by police, but no violence was offered the
new men.
A BLOCKADE AND RIOT.
The inexperience of the new grip men
resulted in the cables being broken in sew
eral places to-day. Twenty cars were
stalled this evening in the La Sale street
tunnel and Just when traffic is usually the
busiest.
A riot occurred at North avenue and
Halsted street. Two horse cars, driven by
new men, were showered with stones and
nearly demolished by angry crowds on the
sidewalk. Only the timely arrival of a
patrol wagon saved the imported car men
from being stoned to death within the
cars, where they had taken refuge. Quite
a number OF passengers were hurt.
