in Homestead.
There have been many reports pub

Gated near Washington, Pa. which
would be broken at the first OPP
portunity. and the men brought
to Homestead. SO persistent became
these rumor that the locked-out

Washington about nightfall and were
directed to the camp. They gave out
at first that they were agents of the
Carnegie Steel Co., Qimited.) They were
directed to a Mr.. Hallam. who had
charge of the men. He told them that
the men were employed grading and
digging sewers in Washington. The
committee then went among the men
and tried to hire some. There was

Monster Meeting In Madison
Square Garden.

New YORK, July 21.-The first deci-
sive gun of the democratic campaign of
1892 was touched off last night in Madi-
son Square garden in the presence of a
vast assemblage. The huge auditorium
was packed from pit to dome, and as
the place holds 10, 900 persons comfort
ably, it is estimated that almost twice
that number were present The occa-
sion that brought this vast throng to-
gether was the notification ceremonies
of the two great leaders Of the demo-
cratic party-Grover Cleveland and
Adlai E. Stevenson.
As early as 6 o'clock the crowd began
gathering about the doors, and at 7:30
p. m, when they were finally opened,
the streets about the garden were filed
with a pushing, struggling, perspiring
mob which flowed into the auditorium
with the roaring sound of a cataract.
Neverhad the garden held such a crowd,
nor had more enthusiasm been displayed.

Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio; Senator Pasco
and VIM. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, and
a host of others.
Mrs. Cleveland and party entered a
box about s o'clock, and this gave the
crowd a chance to give vent to some of
their pent-up enthusiasm
Quiet had scarcely been restored
when a mighty cheer broke out, and
there was universal waving of hands
and arms, hats, handkerchicfs and fans
Then John NJ. Bowers, escorting Adlal
f. Stevenson, appeared. Mr.. Steven
son gracefully acknowledged the plau-
dts with a bow. Gov. Flower and Gen.
Sickles were the next arrivals, and they
were also vigorously cheered.
The concert pitch of enthusiasm was
struck at Sis p. m, at which time the
chief figure in this memorable meeting
came upon the scene Surrounded by
q group of notable men the leader of
the democracy and of tariff reform
made his way to the front of the plat
form. The cheering and plaudits that
had gone before were as nothing com-
pared to the ovation rendered the man
who has so wound himself in the hearts
of the people.
Mr.. Cleveland looked impressed with
the magnitude of the gathering, and
the wondrous scene it presented as each
and every man and woman stood on
their feet applauding in the most en-
thusiastlc n He bowed his
thanks again and again, but the din
and noise continued for many minutes,
and the secretary of the notification
committee, Nicholas NJ. Bell, finally
arose in despair and entreated the
crowd to be silent. 1t was, however, a
fruitless task, and nothing was left but
to begin the exercises
Col. VIM. L. Wilson, of West vir-
ginia, approached the rostrum and
Grover Cleveland rose to listen to the
speech of notification.
In notifying Mr.. Cleveland of his
nomination, Mr.. Wilson said:

Faith of Italian Fishermen

The blind faith of the Italian fisher men in the efficacy of holy relics is pa- thetic. Many of them keep themselves in state of utter impoverishment in providing necessary amulets and charms. Not only is the fisherlnan's person GOV cred with these, but his boat must also possess all possible saving power through these religious appliances. Should some great storm arise and genuine danger come, one by one these objects are cast upon the waves with faith that is posi- lively sublime. Meanwhile his wife ashore, possessed of the same implicit and pious confidence, gives her most precious relics to the sea that her hus- band may come safe to land. And have no doubt that when fatal disaster comes, as it always does, this man sinks into the silence beneath the tempest with his last spark of vital consciousness an un- dimmed flame of trust and faith. .-Ex- change.
