FORT WAYNE. Ind. Oct. 1.-THE crowd
that was in Fort Wayne the day that
James G.. Blaine attempted TO speak here
came to be a proverb and was the criterion
for estimating the numerical strength of
visitors before and since that day. but the
crowd that visited Fort Wayne to-day far
surpassed the famous Blaine day" At an
early hour the visitors began TO arrive.
Every train that came In added hundreds
to the multitude already on the streets
and every thoroughfare leading to the city
had long professions OF vehicles bringing
the country visitors to town. All railroads
entering Fort Wayne ran excursion trains
within a radius of one hundred miles. The
business section has been all day a sOhd
mass of people. There has been entertain
ment for everybody, and crowds have been
divided between the BAND contests in the
public square. the baseball game at Lake
side and the military prize drills at the
driving park. Notable among the visiting
delegations was that from Peru. which
came by special train over the Wabash.
Several hundred of the Peruvians were
handsomely uniformed and were headed by
the famous Peru band.
The courthouse square and the streets ad-
jacent were a crush of humanity this fore
noon, all attracted thither by the band
contests. Two bands were entered, both
of the first class. The Auburn band of
twenty-five men, under direction of L. o.
Buchtel, of Auburn. rendered three selec-
lions that won round after round Of ap-
piause. LaPorte's superb Military band
followed and gave melody OF a rare order.
The LaPorte BAND consisted of twenty-five
men. under the direction of Prof. John i.
Verweir. The judges gave LaPorte first
prize, $3.50. with Ga 1-3 points out of a pos
| sible 80; Auburn second prize, SIPS: 81 2;
points.

FLEEING FROM THE MALTA.
A Kentucky Tailor Applies to LoRans-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Oct. ia man
giving his name as H. L. Colford. a tailor,
of New York, last night applied to the po-
lice for protection. and told an insane
tale Of persecution by the Malta. The man
not drunk and appeared to be per-
fectiy rational. He said that until Aug. z
he had been working at his trade in Owens
boro, Ky. On that day he incurred the
enmity of the Malta. and since then has
been bounded all over the country by cut
throats from this society. His first ex-
p~erience with the Malta was when he was
seized on the night Of Aug. z and taken
to a thick wood near Owensboro. 1t was
the intention of the Malta to cut him to
pieces. A brother from New York heard
Of his capture and succeeded in aiding him
to escape. The brother was, however,
caught and beheaded. he says. Twice
afterward was Colford retaken and re-
turned to Owensboro, for 1t seems that this
cutthroat society wants to kill him at that
place. ,Colford was last captured in In
diana. His success in escaping has caused
the society to change its plan, he says. and
now he is to be shot down whenever OPP
portunity is presented. For the past two
weeks Colford claims to have been lodging
members Of the society in northern In
DIANA. Iney ndu MIN arrested at Marion,
hoping to get a chance to kill him, but the
Mayor spirited him out Of town and he
came here.
Last night he went to a hotel, and, ac-
cording TO his story, five members of the
Malta soon followed him there. He realized
that his life would be taken If he remained
there. and. watching his chance, he made
his escape by climbing out of the window.
He then hunted up a policeman and asked
fer protection. TIL police were nonplussed,
but the man begged so piteously that he
was finally locked up in the county Jail.
