Night song.
WEDNESDAY.

The editors met in the Business Men:
rooms at 9 o'clock and proceeded with
the business of the session. Many val
liable papers were read and discussed
In the evening we had the pleasure OF
/ listening to an address by James W
Scott, ofthe Chicago Herald, and one by
the noted Opie ?. Ried, of the Arkan-
saw Traveller This is treat that the
country editor seldom has the oppor-
tunity to see or hear such of the fra
ternity. We met both gentlemen and
found neither Of them twelve feet tall,
yet Mr.. Ried is a tall heavy weight
man, while Mr. Scott Is short and thick
set. Their addresses were excellent.
President Price introduced Professor
Henry f. Stembach, of Chicago, as the
| champion either player of the world.
Prof. Stembach's first number was a
battle scene, in which he gave almost
perfect limitations of the bugle calls,
beating of drums, firing of cannon, and
rattle of musketry. His playing capti-
waited the large audience, and when his
number was concluded he was again ard
again called back, giving as a second
number "Snow Gallop," and as the
third a "Cat Serenade," each being
received with loud applause. Prof.
Stembach is unquestionably master OF
this little instrument, and his playing
last evening was the finest ever witness
ed by the writer.
Gov. Hoard, who occupied a seat on
the platform, was called to the front and
made few timely remarks, stating that
it was not often that we had the oppor-
tunity of mineling together-the people
and the press-in more pleasant, con
duciye and cheering manner than in
GAINESVILLE. He never knew OF a city
where a man could mingle with more
contentment than in GAINESVILLE. Every
body had an opportunity to mingle.
GAINESVILLE never puts on airs, but she
gets there just the same. GAINESVILLE
never boasted of her spires bat they
were as high as anybody's. He had
been very much interested in the meet
ing, and was glad that the lines had
been cast in such pleasant places.

HAD TO STOP THE FIGHT,
Tommy Russell Beaten So Badly that the
 Spectators Interfered.

Spectators Interfered.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider" and Tommy Rus, sell, also of Harlem, fought a rattling battle in New Jersey last night. The match was with hard gloves, ten rounds, the referee having authority to order additional rounds. Russell weighed 11O pounds and Kelly about IA. Kelly did nearly all of the lead ing, but Russell stopped many of his blows neatly. Kelly got in hard on Russelrs face. Russell won first blood in the third round, but in the sixth Kelly hit Russell right and left all over the ring and finally knocked him down.
 Russell was game, and fought as hard as he could in a groggy condition. At the finish of the tenth round Russell was still on his feet, but the beating he got in the sixth had taken away his strength. Two additional rounds were ordered. In the twelfth, Kelly landed blow after blow on Russelrs mouth, nose and eyes, and had him bleeding so badly that the spectators asked the referee to stop the fight, This was done, and the victory awarded to Kelly.

HAMILTON IS DEAD.
No Doubt Now of the Unfortunate Mans
 Tragic Fate.

No Doubt Now of the Unfortunate Mans
 Tragic Fate.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Letters have been received by Schuyler Hamiltons brother of Robert Ray Hamilton, from John D. Sargent, the keeper of the ranch where Hamilton was staying, and from Casimir De R. Moore, who was visiting there at the time, giving full particulars of the sad story.
 Of course, all the details can never be known, for no one saw Hamilton die. He was miles and miles away from any living human being at the time, and his body was not discovered until more than ten days had elapsed after he met his terrible fate.
 The letters state that the body was buried at & spot overlooking Mary Mere Lake and the Teton Mountains, where Mir. Hamilton asked to be buried in case he died in the West.
 No Suspicion of Foul Play.
 General Schuyler Hamilton, father of the drowned man, said to a reporter {; "There is little room for hope now, he said sadly; "the two letters received by my son Schuyler end all uncertainty as to the truth or falsity of the report of my sons death. I have no doubt that he is dead, and that he died in the manner indicated in MT. Sargent's let ter. There is nothing in the details so far received to justify suspicion of foul play. MT: Sargent was we'll recom- mended to my son by Mir. Wendell Goodwin and other friends, and see no object that any one out there could have in bringing about my son's death, Neither do think he committed sui- eide. My son was too brave to take his own life, and had plenty of courage to live down the cloud which temp or arily overshadowed his career"
 Mir. Hamilton's fortune is estimated at $500, ,000. It was inherited fram his grandmother chiefly, and consists of real estate in buildings.
 The family of MT. Hamilton anuouce that the body will be brought to New York and buried in the family lot in Greenwood Cemetery.

NOW FOR VICTORY.

The democratic state convention at Hartford yesterday did its work well. A winning ticket was offered to the voters, and platform was adopted that will meet the approval of every fair mind ed man and consistent democrat. Judge Morris, the nominee for governor, is one of New Haven's most honored citizens. Upright in his dealings with others, having the courage of his convictions, loyal to every trust reposed in him, learned in law and experienced in prac- tical affairs, Judge Morris has fairly won the esteem in which he is held by all classes. The gentlemen associated with Judge Morris are capable, reputable men and will add strength to the ticket and give dignity to the offices which we honestly believe they will be called upon to fill. The platform is n model of strength and was evidently built by a master hand. Its vigorous denupciation of the infamous Mckinley bill, and revolutionary force bill, will give confidence to the party and attract those without Its ranks who believe in lower taxation and home rule. The un- American policy of Czar Reed is de- nounced and an amendment providing for the election of state officers by a plurality of votes is favored. The plat form as a whole is a strong one, on winch Judge Morris and his associates may stand with hopefulness.

Now that the Maine victory is won a controversy has sprung up as to who is entitled to the glory. In his stump speeches Blaine declared for reciprocity
 and said nothing of the force bill. Reed and his assistants howled for the Me- Kinley bill and bayonets at the polls.
 Which of these men was it who touched the hearts of the people and brought out the republican vote will always remain . mooted question. The friends of the "Fat Czar of the Cumberland" will al- ways accord the glory to the speaker. while those who bow to the white plume

PENSION COMMISSIONER RAUM will probably stir up as big sensation as his predecessor, the great Tanner. Raum has not only advanced the cases repre- sented by claim agent George E.

The way he has been imposing on people everywhere, is startling to read. Presi- dent Harrison will soon be obliged to look out for another pension commis- sioner.

Cleaning FIles bx EIectrIortx.

The file manufacturers are not dis posed to regard with much complacency the recent application of electricity to the cleaning of files, oy which process the tools are made virtually as good as new. After being cleaned and wetted, the files are dipped between two car bons into acidified water, and the cir cult of an electric current is established by means of a piece of metal upon which the file rests. The water is de- composed by the current, the oxygen acting upon the cuttings of the file, while the hydrogen bubbles settle in the teeth and protect them against the action of the calculated water. The file is then brushed to remove the oxide of iron, and immersed in an aka line bath to remove all trace of the acid, and the process is complete.- Commercial Advertiser.

IT was supposed that when Mary An derson became Mrs Navarro we had seen the last of "Our Mary" on the stage. But now it is said that not only is Mrs Navarro inclined to appear in public again, but that her husband is willing and anxious that she should do so. This does not come from a desire for the pecuniary revenues. Navarro is rich, and so is Mary, but there is an irresisti- ble facination about the stage which lures it's votaries on.
