OUTPOURINC OF Citizens
General Hastings and Party Are Given
Great Ovation.
FIVE MONSTER MEETINGS HELD
sands to Greet the Speakers-Sp speeches
Made at the rockingham
and the Armory.

IF the outpouring of the voters of
this city and its vicinity yesterday to
hear General ID. H. Hastings and other
state candidates and representative

issues of the campaign is any true in

tion of the way political sentiment is
drifting among the thrifty, hustling
people of this valley.
From the time that General Hastings
and his companions arrived in this
city at 1.07 yesterday afternoon until
he retired last night he was the re-
ciepient of one continuous ovation. At
Providence West Side and South Side,
citizens turned out en- masse and made
the air resound with cheers, for Hast
ings, Latta, Grow and the other state
candidates.
1t is years since such earnest, enthu-
siastic public meetings have been held
in this city.
All of the suburban meetings were
largely attended, and last night the
rockingham was thronged and the
armory comfortably filled with all
classes and conditions of men. Many
ladies also graced the occasions with
their presence, a circumstance which
proves the growing interest of the
women of the land in matters political
and the widespread interest that is
| felt In the approaching battle.
Escorting the Speakers.
Although nothing in the nature of
street demonstration had been ar
ranged for the evening, large delega-
tions of citizens gathered at the Wyom-
ing, and headed by Guth's and Bauer's
bands, escorted the speakers to the

first speaker at the overcrowded Froth-
ingham, and he paid handsome trib-

noon drive about the city would never
be effaced, and he would go back to his
duties as editor OF a Pennsylvania
newspaper better equipped for his
work by reason of his visit here and
with firm belief in the future of the
marvellous Electric City.
General Hastings was the first speak

close attention of his audience through.

RECEPTION TO HASTINGS.
Hundreds Crowded About the Station Il
Welcome Him to the City.

Long before the arrival of the 1.O7
train yesterday afternoon on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western road
bearing the governor and party, hun
dreds of people went to the station or
secured slightly standing room along
Lackawanna avenue. 1t was an or
derly crowd, composed principally of
mechanics, laborers and well known
business men of the city, who, while
waiting for as glimpse of the distin-
guished soldier and candidate, jostled
and elbowed each other on an equal
and good natured plane. The most
conspicuous and dense portion of per-
sons surged about the station platform
and on the square. The interest and
enthusiasm, good humor and numbers
was considered happy omen and one
which bore particularly upon the vote
of election day, and was all the more
gratifying In view of the fact that the
arrival of the train occurred stimuli
taneously with the dinner hour.
General Hastings and party left Phil
adelphia early in the morning via the
Pennsylvania road to Manunka Chunk,
where they changed to the Lacka-
wanna road and occupied seats in the
regular chair car.

UNCONSCIOUS ON THE TRACK.
Isaac Van Nault Picked Up Dying
from a Fractured Skull.
Discovered by the Engineer of an
Approaching Train.

Isaac Van Nault, whose residence Is
unknown. is dying in the Eastern Dis
trict Hospital, Brooklyn, to-day, from a
fractured skull. A train on the dun
my road from Glendale was dashing
along through Ridgewood at II o'clock
last night, when he engineer saw some
obstruction on the track, n by prompt
use OF the air-brakes managed to stop
the train only a few feet from II.
Then It was discovered that the object
lying across the track was an uncon-
sclous man. To Ambulance Surgeon
Neesen the engineer declared that just
as he noticed the man on the track he
saw n horse and wagon being driven
rapidly across the track and along the
road that leads to Jamaica. The en-
gineer believed that the man had fallen
on the track.
III police think that the man was
intoxicated, went TO sleep on the track
and was struck by the dummy engine:
The crew OF the train deny this, and
point to the fact that the man was ~
Ing across the track, while II he had
been brushed off the track.
The place where the man was found
is within Il stone throw of the place
where Lizzie Behler was murdered two
years ago. and In the last few years
there have been a number OF murder
mysteries in the ~neighborhood, none OF
which has ever been solved.

HOTEL 10 MILES FROM LAND.
Its Erection in the Ocean Off Long
Island Proposed.
Curious Legal Point as to the Pro-
lection of the Structure.

A hotel on stills in the Atlantic Ocean
is the latest novelty to catch the change

C. NJ. Coen. with Offices at 3 Union
square.
THE matter is In its infancy as yet"
sain Mr.. Coen to-day. In fact. 1t IL al
together too young to be talked about.
The plan Is to erect "A large pavilion on
iron piling at least ten miles off the
Long Island coast. Regular trips would
be made to II by steamboats,, and tran
silent n permanent board would be
furnished.
However. II has not yet been deter
mined II the idea is feasible. We don't
know whether W. can procure a foun-
dalton that would make such a struct-
ure perfectly safe, nor have we made
any efforts to raise the necessary cap
ital to carry the scheme out.
Il have written to the proper authori-
ties to ascertain whether police protec-
ton would be given to such an estab-
yet. Anyway, the thing is not suti-
GENTLY advanced for me TO say anything
about II at this time"
An associated Press despatch from AL
hany says Of the question Of protection
for the proposed hotc! at sea:
The Acknowledgement finds that he
can give no absolute answer on the sub
jcct, but he makes a number Of sug-
gestions based on theory. He says the
hotel will be built on lane to which the
state OF New York not only has no title,
but in which no title vests in the United
States.
The only theory on which the hotel
could get any protection is to consider
Itself in the light OF IA vessel at sea;

of a nation on the high seas are to be

police officers for services upon excur-
sion boats putting out from New York

would run such boats, | DO not care to
assume the resp visibility OF advising
you that upon the arrival OF an eXCur-
sion boat the said officers could land
there and assume the duty of keeping
the peace, hut il seems to me that this
would be a procedure strictly in line
with common sense, | would prefer
