Cleveland Speaks at the Opening
Meeting in Kings County.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Democracy
OF Kings County turned out i'll force this
evening to aid in firing big Democratic
gun in the present campaign in this
county. When Grover Cleveland entered
CIermont Rink, accompanied by Hon.
W. II. Furey, the audience went wild
When it was reduced to order, Mr.. Clevc-
land was introduced, and was greeted
with Three cheers for our next Presi-
dent'
Mr.. Cleveland, after acknowledging
the greetings, made a speech of some
length, calling the attention of his hearers
10 the importance of the campaign, and
generally scoring the Republican party
That party, he said, in its ma
tlonal methods and management is
boldly seeks to thwart the intention OF
voters If they are Democratic, and to
stltie the voice of the people if they
speak in Democratic tones. He touched
on the force bill, and asked if there is any
democrat so dull as to suppose that the
republican party IN the State is not of the
same disposition as the party in the ma
tion. lie charged the Republicans with
pnfairneSs and evasion of the REQUIRE
Inents of the Constitution in regard To the
enumeration and legislative apportion-
loent of the State. He said that If the Re-
publicans get control of the next arrange
lnent of the congressional districts there
is no likelihood of their dealing fairly by
the Democracy of the State.
In conclusion, Mr.. Cleveland said: I'm
your relation 10 the pending canvass,
every Democrat who likes his country
and his party must acknowledge the mn
lbrtant services rendered by the repre-
sentatives of King County. in aiding in
the formulation of the declaration OF
financial principles in the platform which
the Democracy presents to the voters OF
the State, which leaves no room to doubt
cur insistence upon sound and honest
money for all the people"
At the conclusion OF the ex-Presidents
speech, an old, gray-haired man arose
Upon his seat and yelled out, "Mr. Cleve-
land, did you get my letter? What have
YOU done toward preserving life and pre-
Venting death from collisions on the rail
roads? What have -" The rest of the
sentence was lost amid the Kisses which
greeted the old man, who was hustled
lnceremoniously out, protesting against
them depriving him of the right Of free
sDeech.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 14.-At the session of
the Prison Congress this morning reso-
luton was adopted requesting the minis
ters of the United States and Canada to
regularly observe the fourth Sunday in
October as Prison Sunday, on which day
a collection should be taken up for the

AT the evening session Frederick H
Wines of Springfield, ILL.,, delivered an
address on Crime in the Census of $780,"
Wines said a comparison with the census
of 1880 would show great increase in
crime. The increase in the number of
prisoners was forty per cent, while the
population increased twenty-five per
cent. The greatest increase, however,
was in jails, and in minor prisons.
After other papers were read, the con-
gress adjourned to meet in Baltimore

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Congressional
loan of S5,000,OO0 to the Worlds Fair,
Major Handy and his Department OF
Publicity and Promotion and Director
General Davis report were considered by
the Board of Control OF the National
Commission to-day, while the Executive
Committee of the Chicago Directors were
struggling with the same subject. Both
meetings were lively, and another conflict
between the commission and directory
appears to be on.
The directors senta request to the Board
OF Control Tor 4 special Joint conference
on Friday. This, it is said, is called to
consider the advisability of abolishing
the entire department of which Major
Handy is chief.
The significance OF this move is ex-
planned on the basis thRt Handy draws
~ 800 year from the directory, and has
o largo number of assistants. President
Baker and other directors seemingly
have an idea that the Worlds Fair does
not need press department any longer,
and that the different sheets can attend To
that work.
The Board of Control decided to-day
that their Committee on Legislation had
exclusive jurisdiction in the loan matter
The draft of the loan bill to be presented

Among the victims were George White,

Sunday afternoon in two boats to fish for

The crew of three men of a two-maSted

Sunday afternoon Charles p. Frey let
out catboat and six small boats at Hol-

boat carried fishing party of five men
and the small boats eleven men. They
went up the bay toward the inlet. Moth

washed up on the meadow lands.

save their lives. The houses were swept
away by the current. The inundation
lasted two days, and during that time the
inhabitants in the woods had neither
matches to lightsa fire nor blanket with
which 10 cover themselves. When the
river had gone down to its natural level
they came out of the woods to find them
selves homeless, and the fourishing town

IT Is Not Believed That Negotiations
Have Been Broken or With China.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA cablegram
published this morning stated the Lon
don Times had received a dispatch from
Shanghai which said that the foreign
Ministers in China had broken Off nego-
tiations with that Government and have
announced to China that now their own
Governments must act. 1t is ascertained
at the State Department that the report
cannot be true so far as the representative
Of this Government is concerned, for the
reason that no instructions of that char
scter have been issued by the President,
and the Acting Minister in China would
hardly presume to take such an import
ant step in the absence of positive in

MERGED, Oct. 14.-This morning James
Sullivan shot and instantly killed James
Shelly. The slayer used forty-four
caliber Smith q Wesson revolver and
fired five shots. The fatal one entered
just above Shelly's heart.
Shelly was foreman over gang of
graders working on the Crocller- Huff
man works, and last night he, with Sulli-
van and others, came to town and
drank quite freely. On their way to
camp Shelly and Sullivan quarreled, but
did not come to blows. This morning the
quarrel was renewed, and Shelly gave
Sullivan a severe beating. Sullivan i'm
mediately came to town and procured a
revolver, and returned to camp, where
the shooting took place.
Soon after his return the shooter gave
himself up to an officer and was brought
to town and placed in Jail. He is we'll
known here, having been a laborer since
1872 and has never been known as quar-
relsome, but, on the other hand, has been
considered quiet and orderly.

Scandal Investigation.
NAPA, Oct 1.-THE Board of Trustees
of the Napa State Asylum have investi-
gated the statement made by D. L. Hass
that he had paid Trustee J. f. Lamdin
$500 to assist in securing the election of
DIR. a. NJ. Gardner to the position of
Resident Physician of the asylum,
which he now holds, and that he (Hass)
had further promised to pay Trustee
George NJ. Francis for the same purpose.
The statements of DIR. Gardner Hon.
Dennis Spencer, Directors Lamdin and
Francis, and of DIR. Hatch, Medical Di-
rector of the State Insane Asylum at Ag-
news, were taken, and the board reports.
as a result of the investigation, that they
find Hass did approach Gardner and de-
mand repayment of money which he
claimed to have expended in securing
Gardner's election, Hass stating at the
time that positions of this kind were
always secured for money consideration,
and that the late DIR. Wilkins of Napa
tanned their positions.
The board announced that they had
been furnished with written statement
made by Hass, in which he acknowledged
the falsity of his represen tations to Gard
ner, and they find from further evidence
that such representations were made for
the purpose of obtaining money from
Gardner under false pretenses.
The board commends DR.. Gardner and
Trustees Lamdin and Francis for their
course in demanding the investigation,
and declares its full confidence in their
