CAMPAIGN IS BOOMING
Both Sides Working With
Redoublcd Activity.
EACH CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

What Is Doing at the Different Head
Quarters Claims of Partisans and Rea-
sons for same--CarIisle Explains His
Failure to Register - Notes of the
Canvass.
NEW YORK, Oct 31.-The last week of
the campaign for the Democrats finds
Senator German, Mr.. Whitney, Mr.
Croker, Edward Murphy, jr., and Lieut.. =
Gov. Sheehan with their heads very close
together.
Mr.. Murphy was hurt in carriage &C
cident at Troy yesterday, but he was at
the Hoffman House in the evening con-
sulting with Mr.. Sheehan. The Demo.
Gratis are especially delighted to find the
Maryland Senator in such close commun-
ion with his old friend Mr.. Whitney and
Mr.. Croker and the leaders of the State
machine. This fact more than any othe1
has contributed to the confidence of the
betting men that Mr.. Cleveland is to
carry New York State.
The gentlemen in charge of the cam
paign said that they were confident of
MIR. Cleveland's election, but, for all
that, they would not relax their efforts
and that they proposed during the week
at hand to put in their best ticks.
The Republican fighters, National and
State, had all sorts of delegations visiting
them in the afternoon and evening. Most
of the committeeman are in town, and
most of them will remain on the scene
until after election. The National Com
mitteemen were the most confident lot of
citizens you ever met in a national fight.
AS has already been said, if they are
blufing, they are dandies at the bust
ness.
They emphatically declare that Harri-
son will win. They base most of their
arguments on the figures received from
the different StaJes and from what they
say is the trend among business men,
who write that they are opposed to any
change in the Administration at this
time.
In view of the claims at both head
quarters it is difficult TO attempt any
prophesying. The betting in New York
State is entirely in favor of the Demo
Gratis. The offers are still even on the
general result. There was a whisper
| last night that the betting men will see
| some fireworks this week.
There is good deal of interesting, ii
not actually valuable, figuring among
expert political leaders just now as to
how the Electoral College will stand af-
ter the votes have been counted. The
total number of electors is 444, and the
| majority necessary to elect is 223. The
officers of either of the National Com
mittees have not yet authorized any ia
BILE showing their claims, but the follow
ing .tgures have been privately approved
by some of the Republican officers and
come as near as possible at this time to
boing an official statement of the mini
mum Republican claim. The purpose
| of these figures is to show how Repuo1i-
pon victOrV iS nrOha hla with the
| loss (Which is not conceded) of New York,
Connecticut, NewlJersey and West Vir-
| ginia, as we'll as of Nevada, which is now
conceded to the Third party,

boat Blown of.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The steam
chimney of the steamboat Wakefield, be.
longing to the Potomac River Steambo at
company, blew off at II o'clock yesterday
morning, and killed three men, probably
four, and more or less seriously injured
three others. The steamer was ON the
return trip to Washington, and when off
Maryland Point, about so miles down
the river, the accident occurred.
Alexander Tolman and James johnson,
colored fremen, were instantly killed by
flying fragments, and William Clark, a
colored bootblack, was blown off the boat
by the shock and drowned. Another col
ored man is missing, and it is believed
he met the fate of the bootblack.
E. L. Gordon, a white assistant en-
gineer, was badly bruised about the head
and arms. He was brought to his home
in Alexandria. William Motley and
William Carney, colored deck hands,
were badly scalded and otherwise injured.
They were brought to Washington and
are now at Providence hospital.
The Wakefield was only slightly dam
aged, and Immediately after the accident
was towed to a landing at Quantico,
about 40 miles from Washington. She
was used principally as a freight boat,
stopping at all the Potomac river land
ings for distance of So miles down, but
occasionally transported passengers.

Thinks Cleveland Sure Winner-His
Failure to Register.
NEW YORK, Oct. Ex-senator John @.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, arrived in New
York late last night. Being asked
about the report that he did not register,
he said
"a good deal of importance seems to
be attached to my fai ure to register,
The simple fact was that l was in Frank
fort attending the Court of Appeals. l
understood, and it was generally be-
lieved, before L left home, that the City
Council of Covington would pass an
ordinance allowing two additional days
for registration.
''But the ordinance was not passed,
and when l arrived in Covingtou l found
the registry lists closed. That is all there
was to it,"
The Senator says the outlook for
Cleveland is exceedingly encour aging,
and that there is no doubt of his election.

TsnnysOn's Successor Heard
From.

The Hustlers of the valley.
1.
Many moons have passed away
Since first we met each other;
found the lady of my choice
Out shopping with her mother.
our friendship grew and one bright night
! tried my heart to rally;
Twas passing by that famous store,
The Hustlers of the Valley"
The thought had often crossed our minds,
That we should be united;
The very thought, indeed It's true,
Made both our hearts delighted.
But thought and practice are two things
That do not always tally,
And yet we kept our minds upon
The Hustlers of the Valley"
III.
We waited-tried to save the cash,
But single that's a trick;
Sunday nights would come and go,
The cash kept going quick.
At last we bolted,-boldly struck
A bee line through an alley
And landed in that famous store,
The Hustlers of the Valley"
".
We first examined all the stock
On their spacious floors;
The busy clerks were kind, polite.
SO different from other stores.
The stock was all the heart could ask,
With prices suiting Tom or Sally;
And soon we found ourselves at home,
With THE Hustlers of the Valley"
v,
One year has passed, and now we say
To friends on every hand;
Don't hesitate, but go at once,
To South Main clear to Grand.
OF all the stocks that we could find,
There's none with them could tally;
Now don't forget, but keep in mind,
THE Hustlers of the Valley"

rality of about 1000 instead of Repub-

Scarcity of Water.

NORWICH, Oct 31.-The prospect of a
water famine here is rather alarming
and if rain does not come soon the lack
fof water will seriously affect business.
At present the water in the reservoir has
touched the lowest point it has reached
since it was introduced twenty-five
years ago. Nearly all the water motors
in town have been cut off and if the dry
weather continues many other drains on
the supply will have to be stopped also.

Patience until l become a butter

ing with a caterpillar, while it was
yet caterpillar. At last the moment
of its Transformation came. On q
beautiful summers morning it arose
out of its dark sepulchre, dressed in a
rich golden attire, and strong in the
strength of new life. Yes said
she, as she looked upon herself, ssnow
l am satisfied with nature, now I am
safe" But alas, she erred. A single
leaf could screen the dark hued cater
pillar from many enemies, even from
the sharp-sighted hunter of insects

and saw only too soon the impossible
ty of eluding them all. In vain she
piled her newborn wings with dill
gence, in vain she flew fearfully from
bough to bough, from flower to flow

her after all, and on the third day she

glory is often the forerunner of de-
struction.

KALKED TO JERUSALEM.

About two years and half ago
Father Meunier, monk in the Bel
gian hermitage of Saint Thibault,
read an anonymous manuscript of the
church made on foot rom rome TO
Jerusalem. The forgotten story in
spired Father Meunier with an ambi-
ton to make a similar journey to the
sacred city. He obtained an indefi-
mite leave of absence and in few
DAYS was on his way. He was not en-
numbered by an ounce of any kind OF
baggage, nor did he have so much as
a penny in his pockets. He proposed
to make the journey in the apostolic
manner, ON foot, alone, and without
money.
Father Meunier has successfully
carried out his laborious project, and
a few weeks ago he read an account of
his tramp of 1900 miles before the
Geographical Society of Brussels. He
gave his audience a rapid review of
his walk through France, the north
of Italy, and the Balkan peninsula,
and devoted most of his talk to the
story of his wanderings in the lesser
known country between Constantine
pie and Jerusalem. He did not arrive
at his destination until eighteen
months after his departure. In Asia
he crossed Asia Minor and Syria, visit
ing Nazareth and other famous towns.
The passport that he received at Con-
stantinople described him as a pill
grim, q physician and a monk" In
this triple. character he made his way
across thinly peopled regions, meeting
the most generous hospitality every
where, though u few embarrassing in
cidents occurred. He found, however,
that nearly every one regarded his
pilgrimage in kindly manner, and
desired to help him along. He won
the gratitude of invalids by prescrib-
| ing for their ailments, and at times
| his fame as a doctor outStripped his
own pace, and he found the sick wait
ing for his coming.
He travelled very slowly, enjoyed
good health, and returned as he had
gone, spending about two years and a
half OH the round trip. He had seen
a great deal, endured some hardships,
but OH the whole had enjoyed himself
and gained much useful knowledge
without spending a cent, except an
occasional coin that was given him
The enterprise was purely experiment
tai and sometimes hazardous. A large
part of his journey was made through
regions where only Mohammedans
are found, and it was not certain
what kind of reception they would
give him. 1t is believed he could not
have gotten through Asia Minor, beg
ging his way as he did, if it had not
been for the passport issued to him al

him as the most melancholy city he
ever saw. 1t resembles no other city
in the world. 1t is neither an ancient
nor a modern town. When he wal
