One of the most impressive scenes of
the Republican rally at Fort Meigs
Saturday was noticed by only few peo-
pie who were viewing the sights. 1t
was during the speech of ex-Goyernor
Foraker when the large crowd of peo-
pie seated In the natural amphitheatre
were quietly listening or loudly ap-
plauding the excellent speech of one of
the nations great men, that the form OF
Colonel Brewer, editor of the Sentinel,
Everybody knows he is an editor, be-
cause the JOURNAL has ADVERTISED him
as such) standing upon the summit of
the hill just back of the speaker and
viewing the animated scene below. He
stood alone, apparently unnoticed,
but with a smile OF self-cousciousnes
upon his classic features, and as he stood
there and gazed upon the many peo-
pie, and the numerous aspirauts for
political honors he seemed to say
"Ah! Thou art all beneath me; with my
mighty power some Of you have
been regulated to the rear; others
have been permitted to secure
honors and others have been
made famous. Great am But
for my presence here to-day this null
titude would have remained at home.
Greater man ne'er trod the sacred soil
of TT. Meigs than I. What glorious
monument would make with which
TO decorate this historic point" AS
his massive brain continued on in this
strain the common people who were
viewing the magnificent spectacle,
conscious Of their inferiori,y, quietly
stole over to Maumee where they
might lose themselves.

organized at Findlay and started from
that place to the scene of action and
how this city had the pleasure of well
coming the remnant of that regi-
them the freedom of the city

address which was interesting in the
extreme, but as it was printed in pam
phlet form and presented the MEM
bers of the regiment we omit further
mention.
Capt. b. Cusac responded to the ad-
dress Of Mr.. Dunn and said experiences
had taught the members of the 2lst
that the citizens of Findlay were true
friends of the soldier and judging by
the past, the veterans had no doubt OF
the warm hearted welcome they would
receive in that city.
Following this there were short
speeches from various comrades and q
committee appointed to draft resolu-
tions OF respect on the death of "Moth-
er" Niebiing.

and one of the most prominent features
OF the programme was the address o.
Rev. Herbert.
Capt. t. J. Horbaugh made an ex-
cellent speech which was full Of patri
otism. Rev. Harbaugh wore the blue
himself, and could sympathize and ap-
preciate to che fullest extent the SCR
vice of the soldiers.
A quartette rendered several select
ions which were highly pleasing.
The meeting of Friday was larnel
attended and very interesting.
The principal feature of the after
noon and closing session was the ad
mirable adress by Rev. Jameson, who
is powerful and eloquent speaker, ant

OVER rHEIR GRAVES.

IRcspectfully dedicated to Col. D. W. II. How.
ardl
The linnet in the rocky dells.
The moor lark in the air;
The bee among the grassy cells,
That hide our soldiers fair.
The cattle browse above their breasts:
The wild birds raise their brood.
And they for whom the brave ones rest
Have left them solitude.
1 ween that when the graves dark wall
Did first those forms retain,
They thought their hearts could ne'er
recall.
The light of Joy again.
They thought the tide of grief would
flow
Unchecked through future years;
But where is all their anguish now,
And where are all their tears?
Well, let them fight for honor's breath,
Or pleasures shade pursue
The dwellers in the land of death
Are changed and careless, too.
And II their eyes should watch and weep
Till sorrows source were dry,
They would not in their'tranquil sleep,
Return a single sigh.
Blow, west wind, by those lonely
mounds,
And murmur, proud Maumee.
There is no need of other sound
To sooth the soldiers dream.
THE above poem was written by Miss
I. j. Martin OF Detroit, who edits the
"Town Topics" of that city, and who
was one OF the visitors at Toledo last
week. She seems to be the only "poet
laureate" of the occasion and we take
great pride in being permitted to pub
lish the poem, the writing of which
was the result of inspiration received
while visiting old Fort Meigs.-ED.

The fact that large numbers OF New
York State women have signed petit
tion to the legislature, in opposition to
the efforts that are being made to have
legislators pledge themselves to give
females tie right of suffrage, might be
construed as an indication of reaction
in the matter of woman's rights. These
women say they do not wish to be bnr-
dened with the unnecessary RESPONSE
bility of the ballot.

Three Men Lose Their Lives

by Foul Air While wording in water
Well.
Foul air caused the death Of three
men ut Pemberville on Saturday last.
The dead are:
HENRY FAPEL, married and leaves
family.
LEWIS WEGMAN, single.
CHARLES WEGMAN, married and
leaves family.
The particulars of the affair are as
follows.
A water we'll had been sunk to the
depth of about 80 feet, and a charge of
nitro-glycerine was lowered and shot.
The result to all appearances, was
quite satisfactory, and after waiting
half an hour, Henry Fapel went down
to see the condition of things below.
Those above waited short time for
his return and as he gave no signal the
two brothers Wegman went down to
see what had become of Fapel. They
failed to report and as soon as possible
measures were taken to relieve those
below, but it took considerable time to
arrange for the safety of the one who
went down, and then it was too late.
All three OF the men we're dead when
taken out, death resulting from as
phyXiation.
Just how the air came to be poisoned
is unknown.

mother two weeks ago and made a con-
fession as to her condition. About the
first OF May, the father OF Miss Walker
had an intimattion OF the condition Of
his daughter, and one day told Hay.S
that IL his suspicious materlalized he
would kill the guilty. man. On the 18th
of May, Walker was taken suddenly and
violently In, and was taken to his house,
where ne soon died In great agony, hav-

some reason the case was not reported TO

inferred without any inquest or post NOR

Coroner Harris heard OF the facts, he
went to the rlace for the purpose OF
having the body exhpmed, and an analy-

Hayes seems to realize his precarlous
condition and expressed a wish to PUT
