Democrats Enthusiastic Over Letter
From the Ex-Prcsident.
BROOKLYN. n. V, Nov. Ex-Governor
Hill addressed an audience of 5000
people in the Academy of Music Friday
night after John p. Adams, chairman of
the local Democratic organization. had
caused the following letter to be read:
John r. ADAMS Presiaent:
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Dear Sir: I have re-
ceived your invitation rendered on behalf of
the Democrat organization of Kings County
and confess that it is difficult for me TO de-
cline the courtesy or disappoint the wishes OF
such kind party friends. can not. however
satisfy myself that ought by accepting your
invitation to depart from the course which
have followed in all similar cases. know how
ably the speakers who address the meeting will
present the topics which are prominent in the
canvass and how well the claims Of our candi-
dates to public confidence will be advocated.
The thought which is uppermOst in my mind
leads me to suggest that this is time for the
Democrats of our State to guard against the
Indifference and lack Of activity which are apt
to result from the reaction Of recent Presi-
dental campaign. and which also too often ex-
list when the grade and character OF the offices
to be filled are not such as to inspire the great
est party enthusiasm. We should constantly
bear in mind that every election involves Dem-
ocratic principles SO important to our party,
and that Indifference should not be permitted
to invite defeat when fit and worthy men and
true Democrats are presented as candidates
for pubic Office
In the pending campaign though the cam
pagn has to do with State policy and State Of
fce., it can not be denied that it is also related
in an important way to fundamental party prin-
ciple>, and it should be our pleasure as it is our
duty to give active and earnest support to the
worthy and honest men and the tried and true
members of the Democratic p Irty who are our
candidates. 1 hope that your mass meeting
may be the means of arousing that Demo
cratic cari ify, watchfu'ness ard enthusiasm
which will insure Democratic success. Yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

son Cottage.
CHICAGO. Nov. I'm the Cronin trial
yesterday Mrs. Annie Carlson was.
placed on the stand. The young woman
began her testimony very timidly. AZ
ter few questions she became so nervous
that her replies were almost inaudible.
1t frequently became necessary for the
court stenographer to repeat aloud the
barely uttered sentences which fell from
her lips.
The witness told how. on the 2Sth Of
March. while she was at the CarlSon's,
man came TO rent the cottage which
stood near the house. He said his sis
ter was to keep house for him. and that
ne had some furniture he wanted to
move in at once. He gave his name as
Frank Williams.
Mrs. Carlson" said Lawyer Mills,
do you see that stranger in the court
room nOw?"
Will you point him out to the jury?"
There he is" the witness said. point
ing directly to Martin Burke.
do you mean Martin Burke-that
man." continued Mr.. Mills, pointing to
Burke again.
Yes" replied the witness.
Jonas Carlson. the owner of the cot
tage, was the next witness. He corrob-
Grated the testimony of his daughter-in-
law about the stranger coming to rent
the cottage. He told about the stranger
renting the cottage for a month for Sl2,
and paying the money down.
The witness described the Carlson
cottage, the furniture and other sur
roundings: told of conversations be-
tween parties who rented the cottage
and was finally asked if he saw Frank
Williams. the man who rented the cot
tage. in the room.
The old gentleman hesitated. glanced
at the jurors. inspecting each closely,
swept his eyes over the audience. looked
at the reporters, lawyers, then settled
back in his chair with shake of the
head.
"Step down from the stand and look
again.
The old man left the stand, walked
about among the reporters, attorneys.
for the defense. and finally his gaze
rested on Martin Burke.
He smiled. waved his hand and re-
turned to his chair.
You see the man. do you. who called
himself Frank Williams when he rent
ed the cottage?'
Ives, sir
''Where is he?"
That's him sitting there" pointing
to Martin Burke.
That sealed Martin Burke's doom and
cold perspiration Oozed out all over his,
face.
Defendants attorneys took the wit
ness through vigorous and rafting
crOsS-examination as to his eye-sight,
memory, hearing, events at the cottage,
but failed to shake him in single de-
tail

KILLED IN A FACTORY.

Fifty Working Girls Killed by the Falling
of a building ut Glasgow, Scotland.
GLASGOW, Nov. "A terrible disaster
occurred in this city yesterday. The
gable wall of building that was being
erected along side of the Templeton
carpet factory, on William street, was
blown down. An immense mass of de-
bris fell on the roof of the weaving de-
partment of the factory. crushing it in
and burying fifty girls and women en-
ployed in the weaving room. 1t is prob
able that forty of those buried are
dead. The accident happened shortly
after the wOrkmen had left the build
ing. There were 40 girls at work in
the carpet factory. The majority of
them made their way out safely, but,
many had narrow escapes. The build
ing was 800 feet long. There is a rumor
that the foundation of the building was
laid over disused coal pit. Survivors
of the accident relate that sudden ex-
tinguishing of the lights was the only
warning. All made rush for the
exit, which became jammed. There
most of the bodies were found
during the search. The tremor result
ing from the fall of the building was
felt for a great distance. Many pathetic
scenes were witnessed among the pa
rents and other relatives of the vic
tins.
Later-Twenty-fve bodies have been
recovered. The search for more bodies
is being vigorously prosecuted. The
latest estimate of loss of life by the fall
is that fully fifty persons have been
killed. The loss of property aggregates
fully e15,OOO.

Report Of wheat-Growers Convention.
Mr.. Lamm was interrupted by an Indiana
farmer, who wished to say a few things on
the tariff, since that economic question was
in order. The chairman tried hard to call
the Indianian to order with his gavel. but
it was useless And the gavel was a mighty
one, too. 1t was constructed to look like a
%six-pound sledge-hammer; it wasn't at all
like the ordinary croquet mallets which
the chairman taps on a block of marble.
and then says: 1.-THE society will now come
to order.n 1t was a decided sledge with a
long handle to it. The chairman took this
in his hand and nearly smashed the table
to smithereens trying to call the Indiana
delegate to order. But the Indianian did
not see fit to stop until he had delivered
himself of an extensive protection speech.

in less than ten days after his arrival had
earned three gold dollars. which was more
money than he had seen at any one time
previous to that date. Since then he had
had plenty Of money in his pocket at all
times. and thought that fact was due to
our protective tariff.
