Did you ever see sbarbecue?


Minneapolis never enjoyed such a
spectacle until last night, but will
never forget it. Many persons, doubt
less, have seen a barbecue under Ordi-
nary circumstances, with the crowd, the
roasted steer and the campaign enthu-
SiaSm: but these never saw barbecue
unless they saw it at night, with the
fare of the torches, the glare OF the
bOnfires, the CLINT of the electric light,
and all OF this magnified and intensified
by a murky night, with its weird
enlargement and enchantment. Such
was the barbecue last night. Crowds.
enthusiasm, WeirdneSS and all, it was
conspicuous success in every particular.
The bad day and threatening night
overhead were against it, but, nOtwith-
standing these, it was a bowling, novel
and UNIQUE success. Had the night been
fair. there would have been an inSuffer-
able crush and no room for the crowds,
for as 1t was the ball park was uncOm-
Tortably crowded at every point OF at

THE SPECTACLE
seen from a little distance, as upon dis

station. the ball park presented a scene
lOt often witnessed in the midst of

mist, the reflection of the myriad lights
upon the murky clouds which Overhung

a huge bonfire sprung up and shed a
ruddy glare upon everything in the
neighbOrhoOd. Twelve electric lights
assisted in dispeliing the darkness,
while around the entire surrounding
fence, and all over the grand stand,
were hundreds Of campaign torches, Civ
ing a lurid glare that was hemmed
in by the moist, murky atmosphere.
The scene within was an inspiring one,
and the pen of Scott or the brush of
a HOgarth could alone do it justice.
Crowds of men and women. variOuSly

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The registration
of yesterday in New York and Brooklyn
exceeds all estimates, even those of the
most sanguine Democrats. In a great
Democratic stronghold the per cent of
gain must tell in favor of Democratic
candidates, and the figures of yester-
days list put bevond all question the
success of the Democratic electoral ticket
in New York city by a plurality of not
less than 10000, and in Brooklyn by one
of $1,000 or upward. In New York, as
compared with 1884, the registration has

two days is about equal to that in New

causes are operating in both cities, and
that the people are taking even greater
interest in the presidential contest
than any one has believed. TAX
ing both cities together 214,000 votes
are registered, as against 172,nOO the
corresponding time four years ago. This
means that $4,000 more people have
qualified themselves to vote in Cleve-

oualified at this time in 1884. Of these
AZ. 900 new votes, more than 27,000 are
certainly Democratic, so that, assuming
no Democratic gain in other localities of

on the Lehigh Valley road. in which
seventy-five persons were killed and

cieties took place at HaZelton to-

was run from WiIkesbarre for the occa-
sion, composed of lodges, bands and
sight-seers from Wilkesbarre, Nanti-
| coke and other points along the line.
The excursion train was run in two
sections and upon the return trip to-
night the rear section ran into the for
ward section at Mud Run about o'clock
with disastrous results. Several cars

the obtainment of details extremely

above with approximate accuracy.
The rumor of a terrible accident near

railroad trains, who report a
most horrible condition of affairs,
the groans of the wounded being heard

Capt. Healy, of the Queen, said this
afternoon; Il was not on deck at the
time of the collision. But Second Officer
Jackson, who was OH the bridge at the
time, says he saw white light off the
port bow of the Queen. He therefore
supposed that it was boat at anchor.
His course would have taken him by
her. The Queen was sailing west three
degrees north at the time of the col
lision. the wind was southeast, and we
were making ten knots an hour. Her
usual rate is eleven knots an hour.
1t was slightly hazy at the time.
The captain of the MadelaIne gave
the wrong signal. He afterwards
explained that he only wished to
call attention to the fact that
they were there, and did not intend to
indicate the port or starbOard side. The
collision occurred in longitude 4S de-
gree, % minutes, and latitude 46 de-
grees, l minute. The French boat was
cut right in two. put the Queen back
that the wreckage should not get in the
blades of the propeller. All the men
we saw were the captain and three
sailors. A boat was lowered within six
minutes. The passenger of the Queen
felt the shock and many rushed on deck,
At first there was quite panic. but
Fourth Mate Taylor reassured the pas
sengers by telling them that the steam

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.-General
Master Workman Powderly, of the

Journal of United Labor, says: "COn-

there is way it should be pointed out

EIGHTY KILLED OUTRIGHT.
The Most Awful Disaster That
Ever Happened in the State.


WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 1O.-The ac-
cident ON the Lehigh Valley road at
Mud Run, near Penn Haven. is beyond
all question the most awful dIsaS-
ter that ever happened in this
portion of the state. Though
no details can be learned,
there is no doubt that the number of
killed will reach nearly eighty, and the
injured nearly double that number.
The trains were excursion trains re-
turning from the celebration at Hazel
ton, the annual parade of the Catholic
temperance societies of the Scranton
diocese.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
went down to Hazleton from the towns
of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.
Seven trains, with the cars filled to the
doors, passed through White Haven
this morning, taking the old route by
Penn Haven. On the return the
first train left Hazleton about
p. m.. the others following as
rapidly as deemed safe. The
first three sections came through with
out accident, the disaster happening to
the fourth and fifth sections. For some
reason not explained. the fourth section
was standing on the track near the little
station of Mud Run, five miles below
White Haven, when the fifth section

cars were smashed and broken and
hurled off the track. The road lies
close beside the Lehigh river, steep

the cars rolled down this and others
were crushed against the cutting on the
other side. Up to this writing Q2:3O a.

At / O'Clock this morning reports
about the accident are still very con-

dispatches received at the depot that
the accident is quite as bad as
at first reported and that at least
eighty or more are killed. Nothing Off
cial can be obtained at the company's
office, which is closed to reporters and
all others. One train has been started
from the wreck and it is expected to ar
rive here about 4 o'clock this morning.
Most of the injured are said to be from

BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 10.-Quite
breeze was raised here to-day as to the

having been held that he was neutral or

the local Republican committee to-day
received an offer of Mr.. DOnnelly to make
a speech here for Merriam some date
next week, which was accepted
with alacrity, and tremendous meet
ing is to be worked up. The announce
ment creates no small amount of agita-
ton among the labor vote, which is
especially aimed at, and which, as yet,
does not give full credence to this re-
ported step. The labor vote bid fair up
to this time to divide on all candidates,
but this movement, if confirmed, will
only return the mass of it to the old par
ties, as it existed originally.

THERE was probably never a greater
fasco than the reception Of James G.
Blaine in New York. 1t had been her.
aided for months that on his arrival one
of the greatest political demonstrations
ever recorded would take place. His
majestic presence was to do wonders and
his bugle notes were to reverberate across
the continent. As result Of all this fuss
and feathers we have been treated to a
lot of rhyme that would make the sweet
singer from Michigan forever thereafter
refrain from claiming poetical license,
and to fervid tribute to the worth Of
Judge Thurman-a tribute SO warm that
his perfunctory praise Of Harrison seems
tame in the comparison. The fond hope
entertained by California Republicans
that Blaine would come to the Golden
State and try to rally the disorganized
forces of the party here has been dissi-
pated. He has announced it to be his
purpose to confne his oratorical efforts
to States that he knows to be infexibly
Democratic. This will be unpleasant
intelligence to the misguided Republi-
cans who have permitted themselves to
be nominated on the several local tickets
in this state. The Man from Maine has
too unmistakably shown his lack of be-
lief in the Republican outcome of the
present election to leave them any hope.

UNTIL the Times revived it yesterday
we had almost forgotten the following
venerable chestnut:
"Here in Bradford see more Cleve-
land badges worn than l warrant you
will see in the same time on Chestnut
street in Philadelphia. The working
people of England are like man nearly
starved by hunger. Every minute seems
an hour with them and the English
people until the election of Cleveland.
Let us hope that that day may never
come. Ii it should, some writer will yet
say, as I have said of Ireland, Poor
Americav"
This is supposed to have been written
by Philadelphia merchant in England
to the Press of the City OF Brotherly
Love. 1t was quite popular, about six
weeks ago, in the columns OF our Re-
publican contemporaries. 1t was lie
then, as it is now. The mendacious
scrub who wrote it knew. as every
sensible man in America knows, that
not an Englishman, in all the range cov-
cred by drum beats on which the sun
never sets, ever donned Cleveland
badge. Such stuff is too childish for
even the readers of the Times.
