The Trelght blockade.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept. 1O.-The
freight blockade caused by the enor-
nous shipments of wheat from the
West seems to be about raised, but
there is still much complaint by the
grain commission men and small grow
ers that they cannot get prompt serv-
ice from the railroads. Monday morn
ing last there was scarcely foot OF sid
ing in any of the switching yards, all
the tracks being packed by loaded grain
cars. The Santa Fe Company had 2, i52
cars on its side track here and the other
roads we're almost in as bad condition,
Now the blockade seems to be partially
raised, but only partially, and the roads
have been compelled to make herculean
efforts to accomplish that much.

New YoRk. Sept. 1O.-The managers
Of the Granite Association Of Hobokep
have everything in readiness for the
great contest that is to take place at
the clubs quarters tomorrow night be-
tween Jack McAuliffe, Of Brooklyn, and
Austin Gibbons, OF Patterson. The

gent. Some bets were booked at odds
OF $l0O to SO.

sTEUBENYILLE, ONO, Sept. 1o.-This
was one of McKinley's field days. He
made two speeches, each time to an
immense crowd, and each meeting was
notable for the enthusiasm displayed
The morning meeting was at Mingo,
and the afternoon meeting in this city.
When Major Mckinley arrived at
Mingo this morning he was given
more enthusiastic reception even than
he had expected, and was honored as no
other public man has ever been hon.
ored at that place. The great steel
plant, the nail and rolling mills and the
blast furnace were all running when the
Wheeling 4 Lake Erie train bearing
the great protectionist leader arrived ut
the depot. A brass band composed en-
tirely OF workmen in one Of the mills
was at the station to meet him. Every
member was dressed in his working
clothes, and they escorted their distin-
guished guest to the mill, where he was
accorded most enthusiastic reception,
hundreds Of the workmen shaking him
by the hand and expressing their SYM
pathy for the cause Of protection 10
American industries. At II o'clock the
whistles of the mills blew and every
wheel was stopped to give the employees
an opportunity to hear the speech. MIR.
Mckinley spoke for an hour on the
tariff question, and his remarks were
greeted with tremendous enthusiasm.
The distinguished party arrived at
Steubenviile shortly after on the Q. d
p. road. They were met at the station
by large concourse Of people, and head
ed by brass band and drum corps,
the latter consisting OF drums made OF
American tin plate, were escorted to the
corner OF Fourth and Washington
streets. The city was handsomely dec
Grated in honor Of the occasion, flags
and bunting abouI ding on all the
streets. The parade stopped at Major
Sherrard's lawn, where the owner had
prepared q free dinner. The tables
were waited on by handsome young
ladies dressed in white, who served the
good things to hundreds OF people rep
resenting all classes and shades OF polit-
ical opinion. At the conclusion OF the
dinner Major Mckinley was escorted to
the court house square, where he spoke
for two hours on the issues OF the cam.
paign. No more enthusiastic political
meeting was ever held in Steubenville.
The Republicans are all aliYe here.
There were large number OF farmers
at to-day's meeting, and they were
among the most enthusiastic OF the
Majors hearers.

NEw YoRK, Sept. 1o.-The tale OF the
horrible disaster in Park Place, result
ing in the death of sixty odd human
beings. is now ended with the verdict
of the jury. /
The jury found that tho people killed
lost their lives by the collapse OF the
buildings No. IS, 70, II and "a Park
Place, caused by the giving OF the sup
porting iron columns near the middle
ofthe ground floor, due to some sud.
den shock applied to said columns and
not primarily due to their apparent in
herent weakness. The jury was un-
able to find whether the breaking OF
these columns was due to an explosion
or not.
The Jury recommended legislation
authorizing the fire department to per-
iodically inspect all buildings used for

CHICAGO MYSTERY.
Strange Disappearance of a
Wealthy English Woman.
WAS DOING MISSIONARY WORK
In tho sIums of the Windy City and
Received Letters Threatening Her
Life--Her Ride to Priests House,
From which She Did Not Return.
IsIt Another cronin CrimeP

CHICAGO, Sept. l0.-Nliss Ava, a
wealthy English woman, who came to
Chicago recently to raise the standard
of living among the slums, is reported
to the police as missing. She has been
living at the residence Of Rev. DR..
Bottom. Last evening Miss Ava and
Mrs. Bottom drove to the Catholic
church on West Twelfth street. Miss
Ava entered the building and Mrs. Bot:
ton waited for her in the carriage.
Miss Ava told her companions she only
intended having talk with the priest.
Miss Bottom waited q half-hour aud
finally became alarmed when Miss Ava
did not return. She remembered that
the missionary had spoken Of receiving
letters in which her life was threatened
and feared she had come to harm. Mrs.
Bottom at once notified the police de-
tectiyes, who were sent out and learned
from the priest at the church. that Miss
Ava had called and after fifteen min
utes' conversation had gone away. All
efforts to trace her have thus far been
fruitless.
Miss Ava came to Chicago the first Of
last month to carry on work which
she acquired fame for doing in London.
Miss Ava is said to be very wealthy
and has devoted her time and money TO
indulging her hobby for stunning"
Her friends say that her crusade
against wrong has made her many en-
emies, who have threatened her life,
and sworn to serve her as DR.. Cronin
was treated.
THE MISGAYs MYsTIFIED.
Francis Mingay and family, who are
in charge of the house at No. 34S West
Monroe street, are very much mystifed
over the. sudden disappearance of Miss
Ava. Mrs. Mingay, an elderly lady,
SAID that Miss Ava came to her five
weeks ago and requested her to take
care OF her residence at the above
number. "Niiss Ava left the house yes
terday afternoon" said Mr.. Mingay in
very excited manner. "a carriage
was waiting ut the door for her, and |
cannot imagine what has become OF
her. When she first came here she
continually complained about the
Catholics, and that she was afraid they
would take her life. Tuesday
she received letter, and when
she read 1t became unusually
excited. From what she said to my
daughter, who waited upon her, the let
ter contained threats to do away with
her. Iheard her say that she was afraid
that bomb would be placed under the
house by her enemies to blow her up.
Miss Ava often said that she was
wealthy, but she never displayed any
money to confirm her story, and. as
can be seen from the appearance OF
these rooms, 1 hardly knew whether to
believe her. It tseems strange that she
should go to the Catholic church and
talk to the priests, as she hated that re-

say she was ignorant OF Miss Ava's
doings.

The heavens smiled on the associaf
ton. There never was lovlier day.
The sun was warm, but in the shade q
bracing breeze was perceptible, and to-
ward sunset light overcoats and fall
wraps were acceptable and almost nec-
essary. Tho sky was of that clear blue
which is seldom seen in this smoky
cline. The track, the grounds every
whore, the walks particularly, were US
fine as anybody could wish, and yot not
dusty. The race course had that springy
smoothness which has in year made
the course at Independence, Iowa, fa-
nous, and enabled several speedy ones
to lower the records in their classes
The effect was seen in very lively going.
The pools did land Office business
Yesterday, while the book makers had
all the custom they could wait on.
The wheels and dice games were also
well patronized, and every fakir aud
privilege man" on the grounds was
glad to be there, and found the rent he
paid good investment.
It was amply demonstrated by the
days experience that the State Fair Is
OF great value to the city. Hotels, res
taurants, saloons all did all the business
they could, and until almost all the re-
tail stores closed Mt noon to give their
clerks holiday they were unusually
busy.
NOT ROOM FOR THE CROWD.
Something else was demonstrated by
the past two days, and that is that tho
town has not hotel accommodations for
the crowd. There was no excuse for
anybody going hungry, but night be-
fore last, and again last night, hundreds
OF people walked about the streets, un-
able to get room or even cot. Every
hotel was crowded beyond its capacity,
and anybody who had q bed or cot
could dispose OF 1t. Even the chairs in
hotel Hobbies were filled all night, and
in one barber shop the chairs were oc-r
cupied by sleepers.
It is a decided credit to the manage
ment that with such an enormous at
tendance there was SO little dissatisfac-
ton and SO little cause for it. 1t re-
quired hard work to avoid accidents.
There was no disorder to speak OF, and
the most experienced handler of largo
crowds might be proud of the record
the association made yesterday. Last
night Secretary Otte was tired but
ju6ilant. He has worked hard, and
had the fair failed he would have been
severely criticized. Now that it is q
glorious and unprecedented success, he
certainly should have the lions share
Of the credit, though everybody con-
nected with the management is covered
with glory by the outcome OF the State
Fair OF '9l.
