DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-The democrats
of this city closed the campaign last night
with grand maes meeting at the Opera
House The hall was crowded with the
very bone and sinew of the community lin
marked contrast with the audiences COM
posing the republican meetings held in the
came hall last week. and number of ladies
graced the occasion with their presence.

S. g. Brent, L. Marbury, ]. G. Beckham
and q number of other citizens

he delivered mastery address. His ar
raignment of Gen. Malone from the time he
organized the Mozart Hall convention till
severe. he showed how Gen. Malone had
been fal Q to the people OF Virginia and to
her interests sacrificing all that was held
sacred in the old Commonwealth to attain
his own selfish ends.
MIR. W. D Bynum, of Indiana, was then
introduced. He passed over Safe issues
and spoke chiefly of The tariff OF this sub.
ject he appeared to be a master, and pre-.
sented it in new phases, making it plain to
all that the protective 'ariti was not for the
benefit of the laboring men, but instead q
device to enrich the moneyed monopolists
at the expense of the poor. He closed by
telling the colored people that the boasted
love of the republicans for them was @ snare
and that the only use the republicans had
for them was to secure their votes. He
said the democrats felt kindly towards the
coiored men, but warned them that if it
ever came to an issue between the black and
white races, the negto would have to 60 to
the wall.

ELECTRICAL DEATH.
The Superintendent of an Electric Light
Company Fatally Shocked.


Company Fatally Shocked.
NEW York, Sept 3-Darwin A. Henry,
superintendent Of construction for the East
River Electric Light company, was Instantly
killed yesterday at the company's works, 421
East Twenty-fourth street, by receiving
shock from current, said to be of 1,00c
volts He was standing on ladder making
some change in the wires of the switchboard,
when in some way tits not positively known
how, he came in contact with the wires SO
that a current was completed through his
body, from one hand to the other. The
right hand was burned to the bone. The
left hand was only scorched. Henry did not
utter a sound, but fell from the ladder and
was apparently dead before reaching the
floor. Every means known to science was
employed in the attempt to restore life, but
in vain.
Henry was 2S years old, and had been in
the employ of the company two years. He
was unmarried His father, Charles B.
Henry, is superintendent of the Standard
Underground Cable company at Pittsburg
The officials and employees of the company
are very reticent about the matter One OF
the men employed about the works said that
Henry was at work on the incandescent light
switchboard instead of on the alternating
current board, but reporters were rigidly
excluded from the room where the fatality
occurred. It was said that the ladder
slipped, and that in trying to save himself
Henry threw out his hands and clutched
some wires near him, thus receiving the
shock. An inquest will be held.

MEXICAN DlsA TIERS.
Landslides and Floods Cause Much Dam
age to Life and Property.


Cry OF MEXICO, Sept 4--Further par
ticulars of the destructive landslide at Incar-
nation, Hidalgo, have been received from
that remote locality For week previous
to Aug. 25 rain had been falling incessantly,
and on Sunday night it eliminated in
cloud burst, which caused streams to over
flow their banks and loosened the earth on
the mountain in the rear of the iron works
of Mr. Richard Honey.
At midnight large landslide occurred,
bringing down with it the huts Of the labor
ers who had built on its side, and covered
many others and their inmates. The many
laborers employed in the works commenced
to hunt for the unfortunate creatures caught
in the slide They managed to take out sew
eral alive, but woman, her daughter and
an infant were not found until several days
after.
At 8 o'clock the same night another slide,
fifty times as large as the first, rushed
down over the settlement, breaking down
walls, filling doorways, covering gardens
crushing huts and depositing immense rocks
which the men cannot move. This fresh slide
caused great terror to the miners and workers
in the mills, who sought safety in fight
Nearly all of the huts, hundreds in number,
were swept down into the valley and piled
up one above the other Houses at the base
of the mountain were crushed, walls swept
away and the devastation was generally most
complete. For three or four days afterward
searching was carried on in the slide and five
bodies were taken out 1t is believed that
many others were buried in the ruins.
Floods in the states OF Hidalgo and Vera
Cruz are causing much damage. The prices
of food are rising all over owing to the heavy
rains. Washouts have delayed travel on the
Mexican Central railroad 1t is raining
heavily all over the country. Serious floods
also prevail in Tampico and in the surround
ing districts The water is higher than dur
ing the floods last year. Many families up
the river have taken refuge on the high
ground, their houses being flooded Tele-

Afiuence, Poverty, Suicide.

New YORK, Sept. 3.-James S. DeMott, 8
member of the well known New Jersey fam
lily of that name, committed suicide last
evening about 7:SO o'clock by jumping from
the South Ferry company's ferryboat Pacific
as she nearing her slip in this city. He wa:
a son of the late George De Mott, of Bergen,
N. J. His father was wealthy, and when his
estate was settled up James received about
100000 as his share. He was successful in
business and financially became worth be-
tween $780, 700 and $500, 900. He embarked
in business as banker and broker on Wall
street subsequently, and then, owing to un-
fortunate transactions and an extravagant
family, lost his fortune and became actually
pauper. He had, however, made over a
large portion of his inheritence to his wife,
Adelaide. He often complained that when
he met with reverse his wife left him and re-
fused him assistance. He was IS years old

Musgrave & Co. Fail for 100000 ant
Wall Street Is Surprised.

DIusgrave & Co. Fail for 100000 and
Wall Street Is Surprised.
NEW YORK. Sept 4.-The members of the
Stock Exchange were surprised yesterday
afternoon at hearing that the old and well
known house of Musgrave & Co. had failed.
T. B. Musgrave the head of the house, has
been member of the exchange since 1869.
Away back when Henry Keep was one of the
leaders of the street and startled the COM
munity with his bold operations in North
west T. B. Musgrave was on deck and q
prominent figure in Wall street circles. In
deed, he was one of the principal operators
for Mr.. Keep and carried large blocks OF
stock for him in his transactions.
The last really big deal that he went into
proved to be an unfortunate one. That was
the Northern Pacific deal, engineered by
Henry Willard, all of the movers in which
came to grief in 1884 in one of the worst
crashes Wall street has ever witnessed From
the time of that collapse until his failure Mr..
Musgrave has not figured SO extensively in
financial circles as OF yore.
Nothing definite about the failure could be
learned at the office. Mr.. Musgrave could
not be seen, but the head clerk said that there
was nothing to give to the public and that il
would be impossible to tell how they stood
uQUll dlUeT bu6 UOOhS uelu bocll dieAuOnOu
out Concerning the liabilities, this gentle
man would not express any opinion, but the
street had the amount all the way from 800,
600 to about $500, 900, the generally accepted
figure being about 100000.
Within the past three or four months Mr.
Musgrave has been plunging and the older
and more substantial privilege brokers, such
as Russell Sage, S. V. White, Harvey Ken
| ,adv ard avon w g Williams s11ffared So
verely by reason of this lively and unexpect
ed competition Musgraves brokers sold the
privileges at such figures that the older mer
in the business could not attempt to com
pete All told, privileges representing about
65, 600 shares are out with Musgrave's name
on them.
| T. B. Musgrave at one time was reckoned
to be worth $500,000. Originally he was s
dry goods merchant at Park place ant

passionately cried: "It is my child-youI
child, and it has no name. Why don't you
marry me!"
Hamilton, thinking he was really the father
of the child and that the woman was honest
and true to him, felt that it was his duty as
q man to make her his wife, especially for the
sake of his child, and they were married in q
church at Paterson, N. j., Jan. Z, 1899, Ed

Mrs. Swinton said that during the illness
of the first child she told the doctor to try
and save its life, as fortune of 100000 fol
the mother depended on it. She also said
that Eva afterward asked Hamilton to take
