silver loving cup, the gift OF more than
1000 members Of the dramatic profess

not 80 much rendered az an apprecia :
tion of his artistic achievements as for
his noble qualities az man." by John
Drew, Frank Mayo, MIR. Jefferson and
Mrs. Agnes Booth Shoefel.
Frank Mayo made the preaents ton

1--WE are here to-day to tender, IN
simple, honest words, an expression OF
that love and affec sion in which YOU are

Senator Thurman's Condition is Worry
Serioua.

Senator Thurnan's Condition lie Worry
Serious.
COLUMBUS. o, Nov. Son Friday
evening last Judge Allan G.. Thurman
had fall which resulted in a serious
injury to his hip. No bones being bro
ken and his constitution being so won
derfully strong, led to the belief tina. he
would soon regain his accustomed
health. The effect of the nervous shock
soon appeared to have passed away and
Tuesday and Wednesday he had i'm
proved 80 much that his ph physicians and
friends thought he would undoubtedly
get up again in short Tina.
Yesterday. however, a s-vere relapse
occurred and there Is to-day but little
hopes that he can recover. His viRor-
GUS constitution may yet pull him
through, but the chances are all against
1t. This information comes from mem
bers OF tho family. MIR. Thurman was
alone when he fell. he thought he was
strong enough to walk to the library
and back to his chair. In returning to
his chair he fell.
Judge Thurman was suffering con-
siderably Tonight from the injury Of
mis- hip and from rheumatism, but
otherwise is much better, having FULLY
recovered consciousness. He Is able 70
take nourishment and may survive for
several days or weeks.

w. II. Collier Shoots and Kills Himself In
His State. room
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--W. FL. Collier,
well-dressed man, apparently OF some
means, who Came here recently from
San Francisco. shot and killed himself
this evening in state room on The
steamer Norfolk just before it left the
city for Norfolk. He was the handler of
the output Of saw mills.
From papers in his possession 1t ap-
pears that he had spent some time in
Norfolk during the past summer; also
that he was member of the Islam
Temple of the Mystic Shrine and of
Ukiah Chapter Royal Arch Masons of
California.
The suicides connec lions are believed
to reside in Michigan. az there wss evil
dence that he had on several occasions
sent the sum of 500 to Mrs. Hattie Col.
lter, OF Fife Lake, in that State, and
there WAS also an Identification check
by which some presumably insurance
concern in Michigan was TO be notified
in case anything happened to him.
There was some evidence to show that
he had lived in Lansing, Mich. The
man was about years OF age.

NORFOLK, Nov. S.-The crew OF the

Seweil's Point tonight. they heard two
vessels crash together and tho cries of
men In distress. The fog was heavy and
the distance prevented them from reach
Ing the scene In time to be of assistance.
All they cav WAS two masts sticking q

1t Is quite certain that the Norfolk and

News collided with three masted

port News was the tug Katie, belonging
to Captain John Twohoy, OF this city.

IN HONOR OF CHAUAcEY DEPEW

Buffalo Last Night.
IN his speech He Said. Abiding to the
Wealth of This Government and Its
Beneficence, That Our Processes OF
Development Are Not Accidental, But
Automatio-Re Compliments Copfed-
crate Soldiers aud tho President.

BUFFALo, N. Y, Nov. s-Neyer has
THIS city seen more representative
BODY otcitizens than Assem- bled to night
In the Buffalo Club to do honor to Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew. The dinner was
rendered to Mr.. Depew not alone be-
cause OF his prominence in affairs OF
commerce, but quite as much for the
special interest he has always mani
tested in the city.
Hon. Edgar b. Jewett, mayor OF But
fsla, presided and welcomed the guests
OF honor in speech which elaborated
the sentiments that inspired the ban
quet. John N. Scatcherd, president of
the Bank Of Buffalo, was toassmsster.
The chief speech OF the evening WAS
that OF Mr.. Depew. He spoke In main
as follows:
"Thirty-t three years ago, as o young
law student, l made my first political
speech at Buffalo. The question OF the
hour was slavery and secession-the one
the highest moral issue a people had to
do with. have lively recollection OF
that speech, my frat in q city and to a
great audience. l am afraid that it
justified criticism passed upon it by an
old lawyer-that it had more frills than
shirt. 1t was certainly more lurid than
logical, though the intensity OF feelings
and passions OF the hour gave it an en-.
thusiastic reception for its declaration.
l remember lying awake all nigh.
thinking the district attorney would
come and take me before the grand iury
to justify the charges I had made
against President Buchanan and his
cabinet for conspiring the overthrow of
the Government in the interest of the
slave power"
Speaking Of the wealth OF this country
and of the beneficence of it's govern
ment, MIR. Depew said:
Our processes of development have
never been historical nor accidental. but
automatic. Our form OF government il
the only form capable of Indefinite ex-
pansion without weakening It's cohesive
power. 1t is not possible to conceive of
revolution dangerous to our existence
or TO the integrity OF our institutions or
TO the conservative safeguards OF life
aud prosperity Of which we are so proud,
which will involve the whole republic
Tho Debs revolution, with COVER
nors OF States and mayors OF cities in
sym patty, WAS q remarkable test
Though 1t involved one-third Of the
States and one-half of tho Territories,
yet with the Confederate veterans of
the South eagerly proffering their SER
vice to tie government and sober sense
OF the New England and Middle States
sustaining 1t, WAS dissolved almost as
quickly as 1t sprung up"
He paid warm tribute to two citi-
zens of Buffalo who, he said, each in
his time, did right, the one (Elbridge
G. Spaulding) in opposing limitess In
f1ation of the currency, and the other
(Grover Cleveland) in protecting the

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Demnnd for Textiles With In.
creased Strength In Iron.

>~oHhhu0 IOr textiles With In
creased Strength In Iron
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Bradstreet,s to-
morrow will say: The interruption 70
general trade throughout the countrv
incident to election has been emphasized
oy unusually mild weather, which
cnecks demand for clothing, heayy-
weight textiles and other season.ble
goods. Jobbers at most of the larger
distributing centers report that orders
now received are largely of q filling-in
character.
Except for iron, steel and cotton the
larger portion of advances in prices of
commodities reported since March last
mas largely disappeared. Earlier an
Hcipations OF continuous advances In
prices and demand this year, the out
growth OF the activity Of two and three
months ago, have met with disappoint.
ment. But there is little reason for the
reaction in sentiment by many who dis
cuss business conditions.
Every wave ofincrea,ed demand since
the ti1e began to rise in March has re-
suited in net gain. The sentiment of
traders generally is that the outlook
promises an active spring trade, and
that the holiday season will prove sat-
isfactory. The feature Of the business
week among larger Eastern cities is an
improved demand FOR textiles with in
creased strength in iron at Pistsburp
after the recent reaction.
