In an interview at Binghamton, N. Y. yester-
day Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who is there as coun-
sci in a pension case, stated that she would I'M
doubtedly become c candidate for presidential
honors next year. Heart and soul she is in the
cause Of woman's right to win. During the
past four years the party has materially in
creased and plenty Of funds have already been
subscribed by men having the aid of down
trodden womanhood at heart. which will be
used in campaign that will open the eyes OF
both political parties and carry the nation by
storm.

dispatch from Rome says A fearful snow
storm in the Apprentices has overwhelmed 200
laborers who were returning by the railway to
Sulmona, In Abruzza, from Isenia OH the west
ern slope Of the mountains. The storm came
with such swiftness and fury as to put stop to
all traffic, and of the 200 large number we're
buried beneath the tremendous snow fall. 1t is
believed that scores have persisted. Fifteen
dead bodies have been recovered Such an
overwhelming and destructive storm has not
been witnessed for years in that vicinity.

Cable Car Accident at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-One man was killed
yesterday and several injured, some Of
them it is feared fatally, through the over
crowding of the cable cars bound for Lin
coin park. G. B. Banks, while riding on
the front end of trailer attached to one
of the many north-bound trains, fell from
the foot board while the train was going
through the LaSalle street tun-
mel, and was crushed to death.
Shortly after Banks was killed q
similar accident occurred, the vic
tim this time being Adolph Marks, who
was seriously injured internally and may
die. Later in the afternoon a north
bound car was run into by cable train
as it entered the tunnel, and A. n. Dresser
and Wolf Fishback, who had been stand
ing on the platform, were thrown to the
ground Drrsser's left knee was bad y
crushed and Fishback's back was so badly
injured that he may die.

Sudden Recovery of Speech.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Oct. S.-After being
speechless for nearly seventeen years Otto
Wirthner, well-known German, sur
prised himself and his friends Tuesday by
ronversing fuently in both English and
German. When IS years old he was strick-
en with illness, and upon recovering was
Mortified to find that he was mute Since
then he has never spoken a word until
Tuesday, though travelling throughout
the country selling pencils and notions.
Wirthner was induced to try electricity,
and upon a battery being applied his
speech suddenly returned. He had learned
the English language by hearing it spoken
and converses freely, as though it was his
mother tongue.

GREAS DAY FOR CHICAGO.
Two Hundred Thousand People at the
Grant Monument Unveiling.

Grant Monument dwelling.
CHICAGO, Oct S-The vicinity of the
Grant monumsut in Lincoln park was
scene yesterday never to be forgotten.
Packed in deuse masses along the new
breakwater and esplanade, north and
south of the monument on the unreserved
portion of the Lake Shore drive, and
among the trees west, north and south,
must have been 200,000 people of this city
and from various parts of the country
The statue of Grant was hidden by the
folds of the flag he fought to sustain,
while out in the lake opposite the monu-
ment werea score of steamships, including
the Michigan and the revenue cutters
Andrew johnson and Fessenden, with a
large tiotilla of smaller craft, all decked
out gaily with bunting
The Procession Comes in View.
A little after 3 o'clock D. M the
procession, headed by dozen platoons
of police, marching with a swing
and regularity that elected loud ap-
plause, came into view, and for two
hours the tramp was kept up until the
slopes around the monument were brill
liant with color, and cleaning with the
fash of bayonet and scabbard At
a:3) gun was fired as the signal for
liminary speeches little daughter or
General Strong-an old and valued frier l
of General Grant-pulled the cord that
unloosed the flags, which dropped grace
fully away, and to the music os tremen-
dous cheer the old commanders tatue
stood exposed
Music Out of Discord.
At the same moment the signal was
given on the Michigan and a gun flashed
from her port. The whistles of the
steamers were blown, the shrill shrek of
the smaller ones blending with the dia-
pason of the larger and the boom of the
guns, making a magnificent choral that
echoed over the waters and the
land and was musical in spite of
the discor6ant elements of which
it was composed. After national salute
had been fired and the massed bands had
played the "Star Spangled Banner, Judge
Gresham delivered the grafton. an elo-
quent and touching tribute to the memo
ry Of his old commander and friend, and
1t was dark before the enormous crowd
moved out of the park, and the hero's
statue was left in solitude Mrs. Grant
was present during the ceremonies.
