AN APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.
mississippi Republicans on tn,
Withdrawal of Their Ticket.

JACKSON, Miss, October 19.-The Repub-
lican State Executive Committee were in
session here today, and decided to withdraw
the remainder of their ticket from the field,
Chalmers and Frazer, candidates for COVER
nor and attorney general, having already
withdrawn from 1t. The following resolu-
tions were promulgated:
As Republicans Of Mississippi, we are compell-
ed TO withdraw our State ticket We knew that
our votes would be stolen and our voters driven
from the polls, but we hoped in the larger towns
and clles, at least, that semblance OF free
speech might still remain to us; but our candi-
dates are not safely allowed to discuss or protest.
we desired especially TO go before the whole peo-
pie OF the state and challenge the Democracy TO
comparison OF principles and records. Our
course has always been conservative. When the
armed revolution of 1875 wrested the State from
us. mississippi was the only Southern State not
burdened with a State debt. She has Demo-
cratic one today
The Constitution of the United States guaran-
tees to each State republican form of govern
ment Mississippi is governed by minority des-
potism, and we appeal to our country for redress.
The constitution tnat We adopted is the only one
in the South so satisfactory that it has not been
changed. our laws stand substantially unchang-
ed and unrepealed, but we are Republicans, and
this Is or uoifonce. That we are not actuated by
cowardice in withdrawing from the contest is
shown by our past. For Ia years. ever since the
infamous Mississippi p an was adopted, our path
has been marked by ade o,vSo Sa u our SIAN; not

How Young Biddeford Man Has
Become Millionaire.

BIDDEFoRD, October 19.-Cyrus P. Berry
an employe of the water power machine
shop, and formerly clerk in the Portland
the death Of an uncle in California, by which
he will come in possession of million dol
lars.
The deceased uncle was Silas Emerson of
Mountain View, California, who went from
Harrison, Me-, at the time of the gold dis
covery., He leaves property estimated to
Berry, today told the story of his uncle,
who was born in Harrison, this State,
about IA years ago. After he had learned
the builders trade, he went to Boston, where
he became acquainted and afterward en-
gagged to young lady, who, Influenced by
her relatives, broke the engagement and mar
ried Boston lawyer. Somewhat disheart
ened, he lost all desire to live where he
should always see her, and, actuated by this
more than by rowing nature, he took the
first boat for California during the gold fever
of 1849. After he had lived as the miners
lived for a few days, he surrendered his
claim, and began to build huts where the
city of San Francisco is now. He invested
in real estate, and made his first purchase at
Mountain View, and afterward bought a
ranch at Santa Clara, where he commenced
to raise stock. His real estate now embraces
$4,000 acres of prolific land, stocked with
some of the finest western cattle. and alto
gether he must certainly have been worth
$4,000, 900. AS far back as 1879 his property
was valued at $7,000,000, exclusive of his
bank account and two or more blocks in
San Francisco.
Nineteen years ago Mr. Emerson visised
his old homestead in Harrison, and ON his
return called upon his nephew in Biddef0rd.
In conversation with friends he remarked
that Cyrus was the favorite, and that he
would see that he got his share when he
made his will. There are some five or six
heirs, but one Of these. a brother Of the de-
ceased, was given ranch some years ago,
with the understanding that it was the only
share that he was to receive. The other
brother is In Harrison. Besides Cyrus there
are two other nephews, one an engineer on a
New York steamer, and the other one was
In the South when last heard from.
Mr. Berry will leave for California at an
early date, and after the estate has been set
tied up will return to Maine.

This lock was in use in Alfred, Me-,
prison, York county, A. d., 1877.

and small brass tag informs the pssser-by
that the lock was manufactured by John
Griffen. qss
Obtaining a two-foot rule, the writer found
tnat the old paddock was exactly one foot
long, eight inches wide and three and one
half inches thick, while the hasp which was
evidently forged out of heavy iron bar, was
an inch and a half in diameter.
Just think of paddock Of the above ex-
traordinary dimensions being used at the
present time, the key for which weighs over
one pound and which Of itself weighs over 25
pounds. II seems as IL 1t ought TO be big
enough and strong enough to keep any pri-
son door safely locked, and yet 1t has been
superseded by smaller, but better ones. The
owner of this remarkable paddock said to
the writer;
'The lock came into my possession about
four years ago, and has been hanging where
it is now for some time. put those brass
tags on it but otherwise 1t is exactly the
same as when used upon the old prison,
which, by the way, was torn down over 100
years ago. There have been two other prI-
sons erected on the same spot, however. and

A motion was made to strike out the words:
Grant him the fruition of his just desires,
and carried.
The prayer then read: so everlasting God,
we commend to thy almighty protection thy
servant for whom we pray. Defend him from
the dangers OF his journey; guard him from
sickness and all hindrance. and preserve bis
going out and his coming in, and make him
grateful for all thy mercies, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.'
A. vote was taken and the motion was car
ried.
DR.. Hart moved the adoption of the third
section, providing rubrics, etc, before offer
tory. sentences on page 10 of the book OF litur-
gical revision. The motion was lost. The
fourth amendment was then put before the
House. lFor the first offertory sentence:
Remember the words of our Lord Jesus
Christ, how He said it was more blessed to
give than to receive; the vote was taken
and the alteration declared adopted.
The fifth alteration, for an additional
offertory sentence before "Thine, 0 Lord, Is
the greatness" was nOn-concurred in. The
sixth, THAT it be provided that the proper
preface for Ascension day be used until
Whitsunday," met the same fate. DIR. Hart
then read the seventh amendment: THAT
in the prayer of conservation, instead of the
word. That He may dwell in them and they
in Him. there be substituted, That He may
dwell In us and we In Him."
The motion was declared carried.
The eighth alteration adopted by the
bishops was that at the end of the COM
munion office the following rubric be inserted
after the first rubric:
There shall be no celebration of the
Lords supper except there be some to COM
municate with the priest.'
The motion was adopted by vote Of 12i
to 81.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 10.-Mr. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, in his speech her to-
night denied that home rule was the real
motive power in deciding the recent cleo
tions. The Gladstonian successes he de-
clared were due to the Socialist agitation.
The Irish tenants wanted home rule In order
to get power to appropriate somebody's prop
erty. Mr. Gladstone might not look beyond
home rule, but Mr.. LaDouchere and others
cared less for home rule than for social spoli-
alton. The Glads.onians were trying to de-
bauch the nation and destroy the union. He
could not believe permenant power would
be secured by party that outraged the fun
damental principles upon which every civil
lized society rested.
