A Memorable Scene When the Cas-
cOgne Tied Tn.

1t was a memorable scene when the Gas
cogne landed her passengers at New York
yesterday. When the big, black hull ran
along the end Of the pier the crowd gave
three wild cheers and began rushing out
to get as near as they could. But, of course
as she was not to land there, and then the
crowd surged and shifted under the dock
shed again. The tugs We're pulling and
pushing the big steamer about so as to run
her into the slip. The gangways of the
pier became jammed There Is very little
space there any way, owing to the large
number of boxes which had been brought
for loading on the Gascogne last week.
The crowd clambered upon these boxes.
Men helped women up. On the top of one
of the highest piles of boxes stood two
PauliSt fathers waving their handkerchiefs
AS the steamer giided past the gang
plank opening, her decks, which We're
crowded with people, presented a moving
panorama of joyous, excited faces. At in
tervals the loud-voiced crowd burst forth
in wild cheers. Capt. Baudelon was dis
covered standing serenely at his post on
the bridge.
dry goods boxes cried: Three cheers for
that brave man." The cheers echoed
against the shed roof The captain smiled.
The first passenger down the gang plank
was seized by the wild, bowling crowd. He
was a young man, dressed in a big. fur
trimmed overcoat. He looked very glad to
get on shore. The next was a big man in
a silk hat. His wife was in tears at the
foot of the plank The third was a young
and pretty girl, and before she reached the
bottom she was seized and madly kissed by
a young man with little mustache. The
crowd yelled with delight and gave more
cheers.
Suddenly there was wild shout from a
man near the gangway. THE captain, the
captain, Captain Baudelon." Some one
cried Hip, hip" everybody Joining in the
cheer. Some college boys gave a Prince
ton cheer; then a Yale one.
Then Captain Raudelon came striding
down the plank with his head uncovered,
smiling and bowling from right to left. A
woman threw him a large bunch of violets.
He deftly caught 1t and held them to his
face as he stepped down toward the crowd.
Here ne was seized by eager hands on all
one tried to get one of his hands, the wo-
men In the crowd being the more demon
strative in this respect.
Three Of them pushed their way toward
him, and when he saw who they were he
fastened toward them. They all kissed
him at once. Harry Watson, the handsome
bar steward Of the ship, was also Rugged
and kissed over and over again by several
pretty women, who had been waiting at
the pier since early morning. The crowd
cheered Watson. too.
Outside the dock there was a long line
Of cabs and carriages, and as soon as the
landing passengers could be hurried
through. they drove off. Considering the
size Of the crowd and the excitement I'm Ii,
the steamer and dock officials managed
very we'll. 1t was good-natured crowd.
Every one Yves excited. But every one was
happy

Collisions mt Sen.

Secretary Gresham is endeavoring to Sc
cure legislative action extending the time
when the law Of 1890 for the prevention of
collisions at sea shall take effect. This
law was enacted upon the recommendation
Of an International maritime conference
and 1t was understood that the code of
signals agreed upon should be of universal
use. The law was to take effect March /
next. Mr.. Gresham stated today that some
of the nations to the conference are not
prepared to enter into the arrangement as
yet. He has suggested a postponement on
that account, promising in the meantime
to furnish full information in writing as to
the status of affairs in response to a reso-
luton Of inquiry introduced by Senator
Vest.

That Leland Powers is master imperson-
ator, was delightfully."- verified at the Opera
House, Saturday night, by the large audi
ence whose privilege it was to sit under the
spell of his fine genius. His equal has nev-
er been in Ravenna.
His delineation of character and individ-
ual idiosyncracy is truly marvellous. In five
minutes he will have touched the strains of
almost every emotional vibration, and like
the fitting Borealis, he flashes in brilliant
passage from characters the most opposite,
yet with infinite fidelity to each. One mo-
ment the high thoughted brow of the philos-
pher, and the next, in 1mperceptible modus
operandi, the features of a dull-faced, SIM
pering dude. David Garrick, the King of
English actors, raised from the tomb-sleep
of century, by Leland Powers, the King of
Impersonators! What Saturday nights
treat it was and the people of Ravenna ap-
precIate it, too. We must surely have him
again at some future day.
Negotiations between T. F. Thompson, the
we'll known dealer of this city, and A. c.
past week, have resulted in an agreement
providing for the sale to the latter of thai
part of Mr.. Thompson's business embracing
agricultural implements, &c. No invoice
has as yet been taken, but it is expected that
the transfer will be made about March
Mr.. Thompson, we are pleased to know, viii
retain his wholesale harness business.

Our attention has been called to the "dead''

Our attention has been called to the "dead"
or cast away telephone wires that cucumber
various alleys and roadways about town.
They constitute the accumulation of worn
out wires which have been replaced by new
ones and are source of positive danger to
horses. Only last waek a gentleman was
driding through one of these side thorough
fares and his horse becoming tangled in an
apparently endless string of these defunct
word :conveyors, he was obliged to alight
from his sleigh and spend some time IN ex.
Treating the animal, which was nearly
thrown in its struggles to free itself. Weare
told that shortly before this another horse
was quite badly cut in the same manner.
The publication of these facts should be sui.
ficient to cause the parties responsible to
gather up the dangerous trash and dispose
of it, and to discontinue the practice Of leav.
ing it at the roadside.
The Buckeye Chair Co. have sent out .
catalogue from the press OF the Ravenna
Republican, that tells in artistic medium Of
the fine equipment and stock of this enter
prising establishment. 1t is superior spec
linen of the printers art and speaks well for
the capabilities of our neighbor.
| Mrs Almira Strickland returned TO her
home in Ellsworth, Wis, last Thursday. She
had been in Ohio since last October, the
greater portion of which time was spent with
her brother, Hon. L. D. Woodwork, OF
Youngstown. She also visited relatives in
Newton Falls, and for week preceding her
departure was the guest in the family of her
brother.in.law, George Strickland, of this
place.

The Home Missionary Rally at the Con
gregational Church on Wednesday afternoon
and evening, was conducted by DIR. Frazer,
of Cleveland.
A large number of people from other towns
| were present at the afternoon service.
A great deal of enthusiasm was enlisted
| by descriptions of the life of missionaries in
| the far West. by Mrs. Caswell, Secretary of
the " National Woman's Home Missionary
Union" Mrs. Caswell is charming lady,
very pleasant speaker and deeply sympa-
thetic. The way the people crowded round
| her at the close of the meeting, showed the
deep impression she had made upon the au.
dience.
Another interesting feature of the Con-
vention was the stirring appeal, afternoon
and evening, of Secretary Wizard, of Chicago
Mr.. Wizard has had large experience in the
West, as Missionary among the Rocky Noun
talns and in California. For several years
he was Superintendent of the work in South
Dakota, after which he was State evangelist
in Illinois. He is now Field Secretary oi
the entire West. His genial nature and high
| ability as an orator, as we'll as his practical
common sense, his sincere and unpretending
Christian spirit has made him great sue
cess in all these fields of labor.
DR.. Schauffler was prevented from being
present, and remarks were made by his as
sistant, a native Bohemian.
At the close of the afternoon service, DR.
Frazer called upon the Pastor of the Church
Rev. w. G. Schoppe, to tell of his expert
ence in the far West. He gave brief out
line of his vacation experiences, in the sad
die, on the ROCKY MOUNTAINS, stopping
nights with cowboys or in mining camps
Then gave brief statement of life at Helena
Montana, where he was located.
The inability of Mrs. CasweH to be pres
ent, and the Fastening away of DR.. Wizard
to catch train, somewhat marred the eve
ming service; but it is hoped that the enthu
siasm enlisted will have permanent infiu
ence upon our people.

Burglars at Work!
Safe Blown at the Erie!

Some time during Tuesday night burglars
raised window at the Erie freight office and
walked in. The safe, which stands on the
north side of the room, was drilled and the
door blown open and badly shattered, and
portion of the contents of the safe scattered
about the room. The cash drawers were
taken to the section house, near the Atlantic
Mills, where they were found this morning
with all their contents, except $23 in cash.
which constituted the sole reward of the
burglars. A lot of postage stamps in plain
view were undisturbed.
w. J Patson, the night operator, says that
about o'clock, just as the Wells, Fargo Ex-
press passed the station, he heard a some
what mufaed report, which he supposed
came from torpedo on the C. & P. tracks,
but the theory now is that the cunning bur-
glars waited for just this opportunity in
which to explode the safe. There is no clue
to their identity or the direction of their
flight
