serious accident.

BEEN 4 sTALWART BLAINE MAN.
But Thinks Talk of the Latter Now Is n
IeflCction ON linn.


Judge John q. Long, of Florida, and a
delegate at large to the Minneapolis con
vention, is in the city. He says that his
delegation will vote solidly for Harrison
as long as his name is before the conven-
tion. He says he has always been a Blaine
man, but the latter's timely declaration on
this important question should be accepted
in good faith. Anything short of this
would be u reflection npon Blaine. "Be-
sides this, Republicans everywhere are
pleased to point with pride and enthusi-
astic admiration to Mr.. Harrison's superb
administration"
Some Democratic Speculation.
Interest in the Republican situation, the
convention being so near at hand, has
rather put the Democratic campaign in the
background. On the Democratic side the
only thing apparent is increased con-
fidence and activity on the part
of the Cleveland men, and this
seems to be intimates connected
with news from New York. The New
York situation has ceased to give Mr..
Cleveland's friends who are here any un-
easiness. They are prepared to show
the convention that the Democracy OF
New York is perfectly harmonious, so far
as the interests of the national party are
concerned
The Lamb Inside the Lion.
Ex-Speaker Reed, it is said, was jokingly
asked by Republican associate, referring
to the report that he had joined the Blaine
forces, if it were true as reported, that the
lion and the lamb had lain down together.

Notes of the Situation.

The New York Herald has been obtain
ing figures and says that the sentiments
of the delegates to the Minneapolis con-
vention are as follows: Harrison, 366;
Blaine PCS; doubtful, 23S. Free coinage
For, %; against, S25. Tarif-For protec-
tion, every delegate.
Robert j. Ingersoll says that Blaine
could get the nomination but would have
q strong opposition when it came to vot-
ing. He favors dropping both Blaine and
Harrison and nominating Judge Gresham.
Chauncey NJ. Depew denies that he has
written ststement giving a majority Of
New York's delegation to Harrison.

I" My jack"

That ever popular melodrama "My
Jack at the Gaiety Opera House, drew
a large crowd of theatre goers last even
ing AT the initial performance. AL
though it is play that has been
seen here many times vet the
peculiar pathos and interest which per-
vades the unravelling of the plot kee ps
its popularity at the hi hest pitch. The
elaborate scenery and well spoken lines all
tend to invest the performance with
a realism seldom met in the stage work
of to-day and the trials and tribulations
of the hero are followed with the most
intense interest by the audience. All
the parts were we'll taken, the character
work of II. Aug. Anderson, as the william,
being fauitless. Charles Frew as an
Irish sailor furnished the comedy ele-
ment and proved himself more than
equal TO an emergency. Tue performance
throughout passed along smoothly and
was without noticeable hitch
The prominent members of the cast
were Frank X. Mills, the hero; Edgar
Forrest, an escaped felon; p. Aug. Ander-
son, a vagabond Greek: George l.. Mont
serrat, baronet; Edward Ames, re-
tired seaman: Charles Frew, a sailor; Lii
liam Brainard, the blind widow; Marguer-
tie Fealy, her daughter; Annie Shindle, a
landlady.

"Mr. wilkinson's widows. 4"

The company presenting the farce
comedy of 'Mr. Wilkinson's Widows"
this week at the Opera ii puse is not the
same which presented the play last year,
although the best of the old company,
with perhaps one or two exceptions, are
in the present cast. 1t is hardly neces
sary to say much in regard to the play
itself, as IL is more or less familiar to
play-goers in this city. IL is improbab
lit almost might be said TO be impossible
but it abounds in amusing situa ions,
bright and sparkling dialogue. Mr..
Wilkinson has died leaving two widows

both afterwards marry and by chance. at

from Chicago to-day. The trip OF the

RHODE ISLAND party was concerned.

THE CASE CONTINUED.
Rhodes Cornell Will Probably Be
Tried in December.
IsPEcIAL no TnE NEwsA

EAST GREENWICH Oct "a. At the hour
for opening the adjourned term of the
Supreme Court this morning the court
room was crowded with those who had
been attracted by the intimation that
Rhodes Cornell would to-day be put ON
trial for the murder of John Gaddis Oct
81 of last year.
Last spring this case was tried and the
jury disagreed, standing nine for acqut-
tai against three for conviction. AZ 10
A. M. to-day Justices Wilbur and Doug
lass occupied the Supreme bench and Col.
Walter Stiness announced that owing to
an affection Of mis- throat, due to bron-
chiaI troubles. he would ne unable TO rep
resent his client, Rhodes Cornell, and
had secured postponement OF the case
TO some date which the court will deter
mine later.
The opinion prevails here that the On Sc
will be called before "a final adjournment
is reached in January. probably about
the middle of December. Col. Stiness
declares the sensational reports circu-
lated some time ago that the defence
would ask for change of venue on the
ground that fair trial cannot be secured
IN this county, TO be as senseless AS they
are unfounded.
His client is thoroughly satisfied with
the treatment he has received since his
incorporation aud during his trial at the
hands of the people of Kent County, aud
has no idea OF petitioning Tor a change Of
venue.
1t is apprehended that considerable
difficulty will be met In securing jury
whenever the case Is called, because
nearly every man eligible To duty AS a
juror in this county is familiar with the
case.
Court Transactions.
The aDpealed will case of John A
Arnold against the probate court Of Cow
