GROWERS LITTLE CHECK.
Clevelrnd Sends $4,000 to the Democratic
Campaign Committee.
New York SUM-

President Cleveland has enhanced
the ardor of the Democrats in charge
of the national campaign by sending
them his check for $4,000. A very
cordial letter accompanied the Presi-
dents contribution. The members of
the Cabinet have also sent very liberal
contributions, and altogether from the
personal friends of the President in
Washington Sl50,O00 has thus far been
handed in. All the contributions have
been accompanied by encouraging let
ters. One letter said it would be nee
essary for the Democrats to threaten to
"fry the fatn out of the manufacturers
that the friends of Mr.. Cleveland
would see to it that the committee had
all the money necessary for the legiti-
mate expenses of the campaign. This
demonstration of support from the
President will, it is believed, incline the
stareyed goddess from the blue grass
country to alter her opinions somewhat,
and admit that Mr.. Cleveland believes
in self-help quite as much as anybody
else. Anyway, the Presidents check,
and the contributions of the Cabinet
and his friends, coming right on top Of
Canadian retaliation message, have
cheered up the mighty.

MILLIONS FOR AMERICAN HEIRS.
A Claim to be Pressed for the Branden
burg Estate in Germany.

WICHITA, KAN, August 22.-The
Brandenburg estate, near Berlin Ger
many, while the property of Solomon
P. Bradenburg, was confscated by the
German Government about the year
100. In 1860, or thereabouts, it twas
restored by Kaiser Wilhelm. The only
heir of this Solomon Brandenburg was
Matthias 'Brandenburg, who came to
this country and settled in Virginia,
afterward moving to Meade County,
KY, where he died in 1907.
Col. J. r. Taylor, Of this city, a
great-grandson of Matthias Branden-
burg, is one.of the heirs to this estate,
which is valued at $S,O0O,0OO. In con-
junction with G. D. Bell, of Louisville
KY, another of the relatives, Col. Tay-
lor has traced the relatives through
Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, some
half dozen heirs being discovered.
The evidence accumulated was some
time ago forwarded to Minister Pendle-
ton, at Berlin, an old friend of Col
Taylor, who now advises the colonel to
go to Berlin and assert his claim, as
he is satisfied it is perfectly valid.

The fact the entire Uncapher family,

Harrison Men Don't Like It.

AsHBURY PARK, n. j., August o.
The Democrats of this place have been
much amused lately by large national
flag of China which floats daily above
the building occupied as headquarters
by the local Republican Campaign
Club. Considering the attitude of
Candidate Harrison on the Chinese
question, this flag has a significance
which the Democrats are not slow in
calling attention to. The flag is foated
by e. E. Bobst, the importer of Chinese
wares, who has control of the building,
and is used to advertise his business.
The Republicans have made Intellectual
efforts to have the use of the flag above
their club rooms discontinued.

SHE FORGOT HER BUsTLE,
And Left 81 1,6o6 Tied Up in it at Kansas
City Hotel.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August &c.
S. M. Ballingsley, a wealthy business
man and farmer Of Bronanga, small
station near Nevada, Mo-, and his
wife, have been stopping at the New
Albany Hotel for several days. They
left yesterday morning for home. Last
night Chief Speers and the proprietors
of the hotel received kilograms stating
that Ballingsley had lost $1,000 in the
hotel. The clerk made a careful search
of No. As, the room they had occupied,
but could find no money. Sergeant
Boulware was assigned to the case, and
after careful examination of the en-
ployees Of the house decided none of
them had found the money, and anoth-
er search ofthe room was begun. The
money was finally found between the
Stats of the bed and the mattress. It
was done up in strange fashion.
Around the long leather purse that
contained the money piece of coffee
sack had been sewed as tight as twine
could sew it. Around this was wrapped
a towel which was also tightly sewed,
and the whole was bound up in ancth-
er towel loosely stitched together. Mr..
Ballingsley arrived this morning and
got his money. he explained that his
wife had done it up in that manner so
that she conld wear it as hustle. In
her hurry to catch the train yesterday
morning she forgot to put on her bus
tie aud did not discover the fact until
they had reached Nevada. 'My wife
was almost crazy" said Mr.. Ballings-
ley. "Just as we stepped off the train
at Nevada she slapped mein the face.
Great Heaven! what did you hit me
for? I exclaimed I did't hit you, but
I forgot the money!"

BURNING THE WIND.
A Coast Line Train Makes the Run from
Columbia to Charleston in Two
Hours and Fifty-Six Min
Register, September 1st.l

lieSiSlel, CepLelNOeE ISL. -.
Lately there has been some extra
ordinary running down on the Coast
Line between this city and Charleston,
but the trip made by Engineer D. J..
Justice on Thursday night tops the
record so fa7. On Thursday evening
the Coast Line train left Columbia:
thirty-one minutes late, caused by
waiting here for the train from Char
lotte, and was again delayedat Lanes
ten minutes, making the tram forty
one minutes behind time when leav-
ing Lanes. The regular schedule on
this road is very fast, being nearly fifty
miles per hour, but, notwithstanding
the delay of forty-one minutes. Mr.
Justice made every one Of the regular.
stops, and carried his train into Char
lesion on time-an extraordinary feat
for any engineer to do. The distance
from here to Charleston, 137 mules,
after making eleven stops, was run in
the wonderful time of two hours and
fiGty-six minutes, the fastest time ever
made on the road. The speed at which
the train run was sixty miles an hour,
and for portions of the road faster even
than that. -
The engine making this run was No.
10, of the Rogers make, one of the
"smartest" on the ine-sixteen-inch
cylinder with five and a half feet
drivers. Conductor Vincent was in
charge of the train and Mr.. D. J. JUS
tice engineer. This shows what the
coast line can do. What road is there
in the South that can beat it?

NOW COME THE FIREWORKS.
New York Preparing 4 Grand Reception
for Judge Thurman.

New YORK, August 3O.-The Thur
man reception, which will take place
on September 6, in this city, promises
to be the greatest political demonstra-
ton seen in this city for many years.
AS soon as the news was received from
Judge Thurman yesterday that he
would certainly be here on September
6, Colonel Brice sent word to ali the
local organizations, and tonight there
will be meetings from all over the city
to make arrangements for the recep-
ton. The time is short-only one
week-but local Democrats have taken
hold of the affair with such enthusiasm
that a few days will suffice to complete
arrangements.
The reception will be under the i'm
mediate direction Of the National Com
mittee, assisted by the State Commit
tee. Col. Brice has already arranged
to have Madison Square Garden for the
night of September 6, as a very large
attendance at the speaking is expected.
There will be four stands outside. At
the inside meeting the speakers will be
Allen G. Thurman, Gov. Gray of In
diana, Gov. Green of New Jersey, EX-
Lieutenant-Governor Black of Penn
sylvania, president of the association of
Democratic clubs; Gov. Hill, Senator
VOORHEES, of Indiana, Senator Black.
burn of Kentucky, Senator Kenna Of
West Virginia, and Congressman Col
Inns of Massachusetts,.
There will be two overflow meetings
on Twenty-sixth street, and two on
Twenty-seventh street. One stand
will be under the county Democracy,
one for Tammany Hall, one for the
United German Democracy, and one
for the Harlem and Young Mems
Democratic Clubs.
A meeting will be held tomorrow at
the Democratic headquarters at 3 ?.
NJ, to select speakers for the outside
stands and vice-presidents and secre-
taries for the meeting. Local organi-
zations will have separate places as
signed to them in the garden. 1T is
proposed to make this demonstration
the starting point Of the hurrah part
of the campaign.
In the enthusiasm which prevails
over the Thurman ovation nothing is
any longer heard about Colonel Brice's
inactivity. He has simply followed
out the plan which he outlined two
months ago-to devote the first two
months to educational efforts, and
then bring out the orators and brass
bands.
The Germans are very enthusiastic
about the reception. Herman Oelrichs
said to-day; "a big pile of letters from
German organization has come in this
morning asking to take part iii the
affair. The Germans have always had
an affection for Judge Thurman. The
whole of the German Democracy will
turn out to receive the old Roman"
William r. Martha, chairman Of
executive committee of the Democratic
state committee, said that the Demo-
cratic organizations all over the state
would take part in the demonstration.
It is not yet decided how Judge Thur
man will be received when his train
reaches this city. Probably delegations
from Tammany Hall and the county
Democracy will be on hand to greet
him.
