GERMAN PRorKcTIoNIsrs.


 Herr scItus l.. Kapf of New York
 or Germans fin Turn Hall-An Kn-
 thusfastlc Rally.
 An enthusiastic republican rally WAS
 held by the German republican voters of
 this city in Turn hall last evening. MT.
 A- Sonnenberg was chairman of the meet
 ing, and the speakers were Herr Sertus L.
 Kapf, lawyer from New York city; Gen.
 eIal s. E. Msrwin and General S. W. Kel- logs. The hall was filled and great inter- est was evinced, and the meeting was one of the most rousing rallies held this fall. The Second regiment band and the Young Mems Republican clubs glse club were in attendance and the latter rendered some pleasing campaign songs during the meet ing. The committee on arrangements, who, by the way, represent all the organ izstion of German republicans in the city, consisted of Messrs. Henry Hillman, J. B. Deibert, N. Sonnenberg and J. B. Frey singer. The committee has made arrange menus to hold the next rally on the 4th of November.
 Alderman Sonnenberg introduced Gen eral Merwin as the first speaker of the meeting. The principal campaign issues that he touched up were the tariff and the old "wild cat" banking system. After selection by tine glee club General S. W. rousing speech. He referred in forcible manner to the ante bellum tariff law which was signed by President Buchanan when he was 6 congressman.
 MT. Kapf was then introduced and after @ few remarks in English he made the principal speech of the evening in the Ger man language. He said that while e great many Germans left the republicans four | years ago because they thought the repub- | licsns had formed some compromise or agreement with the prohibitionists, but that now, thanks to tine honest term of | presidency which President Harrison has | just given us, they are again re- turning to their original party. He | also spoke in a most convincing and en- thusiastic manner of the tariff and the old | state banking system. He told of how de- Il precisted the value of money became under | this system. Now if you have 8 dollar | you can go from Maine to California with put the dollar changing in value. This is | the result of having uniform system | Under the old regime people lost 8 great deal of money and always expected to lose certain per cent.
 After MT. Kapf's speech all heartily ap- plauded.
 The rally was one of the largest and most representative sssemblsges of Ger nan republicans ever held in this city. MT. Sonnenberg, who was chairman of the committee of arrangements, is to be much praised for the energy and good policy he las displayed in bringing this rally about, md it will doubtless lead to the formation if @ republican club.

M. Bristol & son.' Fall and Winter

M. Bristol & Sons' Fall and Winter
 Opening.
 The fall and winter opening of M. Bris- tol & Sons we'll known shoe store oc- cured last evening. The store was very handsomely decorated with potted plants. Conspicuous ss one entered was a fine pict- ure of the late Miles Bristol, father of the present owners, who thirty years ago es- tablished this business, which prospered during his lifetime and has been improved and enlarged under the management of his sons. The failure of the firm named the Bristol Shoe Manufacturing Co. did not affect the credit and standing of this firm. The store has been restocked and has full line of high class footwear bearing such famous trademarks as those of the E. O. Burt & Co.,, Baldwin 6 Lsmkin, Johnston & Murphy and M. Sheedy & Go. College men will find shoes to their liking, both in style, fit and material. A very popular shoe is the Baldwin 6 Lamkin cork sole. Burt's opera and party shoes and many others of high grade for ladies and gentle men are to be found at this store. During the evening Cohn's orchestra discoursed music to large assemblsge of people, in cluding many prominent citizens who had been attracted by the handsome display. After the crowd had dispersed the proprie- tors of the store gave supper to the clerks at Loper's. This was done in appreciation of the past faithfulness and attention to business of the employees, and it is certain that they will serve customers in the future with the same attention and courtesy.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

General Schoheld's Report to the
 War Department-The New Com
 merciaI Treaty With Spain.
 WASHINGTON. Oct. 10-The annual re- port of Major General Schofeld, submit ted to the war department to-day, shows the discipline and state of military in- struction throughout the service to be in a highly satisfactory condition. The drill regulations have proved satisfactory and justify the belief that with corrections in minor details they will fully meet the ne- cessities of modern drill regulations. A substantial beginning has been made in the Notifications and armament of the sea- coast. He renews his recommendations of last year in regard to the reorganization of the artillery and infantry arms of the service. The report says that domestic violence in some of the states has rem dered necessary the use of military force in support of the civil authorities. For tunstely, in all cases except two Qdsho and Wyoming), the state troops have proved entirely adequate to the emergency, and they have reflected honor upon the national guard organization of the country by their prompt movements, admirable discipline and faithful discharge of duty. In regard to small arms and field artillery he reports that when the troops are furnished with | the magazine small arms selected by Q board they will be as well equipped as any troops in the world. General Scho- | field earnestly recommends that no time be lost in providing @ full supply of these arms for the regular troops and the organ ized militia.

Several TOpmOst Tiers of Seats Give
 Way-The Smallest Pupils or the
 Public Schools PrecIpitated to the
 Ground.
 WEST TWISTED, Conn.,, Oct. 19-Eight hundred pupils of the public schools, with principals and teachers had marched the streets with 8 drum corps for a marching drill and went to the rink to practice chorus singing of national airs for the big Columbus day celebration. Temporary seats were erected in tiers to the height of fifteen feet to hold 1000 children. They were being seated on the upper seats and the first 400 had been seated when the five top rows collapsed. Three hundred chill dren fell to the floor in heap and the wreck and their screams caused a panic among the others who escaped, while sev- on the spot to rescue the children, some of whom were pulled out with broken legs and collarbones, and otherwise hurt, some being unconscious. All the town doctors were summoned and many teams were pressed into service to take the children home None were fatally hurt. The smallest children, those from five to twelve years old, occupied the top seats, which had evil dently been carelessly constructed. The community is excited and indignant, and there have been threats of lynching Car penter Curtis, while there are said to be many lawsuits in store for him.
 The children were to be the principal feature in the Columbus celebration, but the accident has greatly interfered with that part of the program.

Stivetts and Young were in the box again. Mccarthy won the game for Boston by pretty base hit that brought in the run needed to break the deadlock. Clevelsnd's base-running was not up to the mark, or the result might have been different. Cleveland started briskly in the first inning with two runs on single by Childs, double by Burkett and 8 single by McKean. In the same inning Boston got one on a single by Mccarthy, a stolen base and single by Ganzel. In the second Boston tied the score with Lowe's single and Quinn's two base hiG.
