 Brief stops were made at Sanborn and at Edwardsport. where over a. thousand people were addressed for a few minutes. At Vincennes a stand had been erected In an open field and 5000 people surged over the two or three acres of ground in their efforts to get near enough to see and hear. Gen. eral Harrison made an intensely earn est speech of thirty minutes, Sn the course of which he argued the silver question as thoroughly as the limited time would permit.
 At Princeton a couple of thousand people met the train at the station and followed General Harrison's carriage to the fair grounds, where from 10000 to 25, 900 had been waiting several hours. General Harrisons speech at this point was about forty minutes in length. He reviewed not only the silver question, but also the other issues brought up by the Chicago platform and pointed Oul lliG lO puOllS pOdSC eN1ei order that might arise from the success of the Chicago ticket at the polls.

 tery-FormerIy of Providence.


 New York. Oct 20.-A woman who gave her name as Mrs. Barbara Orr. and who occupied 8 room in the fur nished room house at AS East Ninth street, committed suicide this morning by inhaling gas. The woman came to the house three weeks ago She told Mrs. Heimerdinger, the wife of the landlord, that she was much fatigued and could go no further. She said she was a widow and came from Provi- dence. Her age was thirty-five She said she was financially straitened. A few days after she arrived her trunk came on from Providence. It was filled with fine clothing. She said her husband, who was physician, died three years ago. They formely lived in Chicago and after his death she came east to Providence, where she had rela- lives. She said she had relatives in New York, but did not give their names. She was looking for employ ment as millinery. but was unable to find work She received number of letters, all postmarked Providence.
 About o'clock last evening gentle man of thirty called and asked for Mrs Orr. He gave his name as MT. Kirk and said he came from Brooklyn Mrs Orr came down stairs and sat with him in the parlor half an hour. She ap- peared to be very harpy and went out for a walk with her visitor, returning an hour or so later. To-day she left the house shortly after o'clock, saying she was going to get breakfast.
 Sine returned about 10 o'clock, and from her manner 1t was evident that she wished to avoid observation. She closed the front door quietly, walked noiselessly upstairs to her room, closed the door and locked 1t. Nothing more was seen of her until Il o'clock, when she was found lying dead on her bed. She had taken the rubber tube off a gas stove, placed one end on the burner and taken the other end in her mouth. She had carefully clos ed the windows and drawn the curtains.
 A number of letters were found in the room and one was also found on the bed near the dead woman's hand as though she had been reading it just before she tock her life. The coroner took possession of all the papers. But little money was found in Mrs. Orr's possession.

BosToN,s SPLENDID DEMOCRAT.
Hon. Frederick o. Prince Accepts the


 Gubernatorial Nomination.
 Boston, Oct 2O.-Hon. F. o. Prince has sent to Hon. Nathan Matthews, jr., chairman, and others of the national committee, his acceptance of the gub- ernatorial nomination of the national democracy, in which he says:
 T am, of course, aware that it has not been made by the convention which has been decided to be the regular or legal agent of the party. If that con- vention had honestly expressed in it's platform the true principles of democ- racy, I should have recognized the con- trolling force of it's action and de- clined the nomination, but it has so grossly misrepresented the fundamen- tai doctrines of democracy that I am compelled to join the large body of dis senting democrats who ignore it's pro- ceeedings because they regard the claims of patriotism as paramount to those of party.
 'The regular state convention has fully endorsed the revolutionary and anarchistic platforms promulgated at Chicago. It is unnecessary for me to consider in this communication the de- tails of this extraordinary political manifesto. It is sufficient to say that in the judgment of those whose opin- ions are entitled to consideration if the principles of the democratic- populistic platform shall control the government the prosperity of the government, the prosperity of the country will be great ly interrupted, it's industries disturbed, its finances deranged and It's reputation for honest dealings fmperilled; further more it is believed that the very foun- dations of social order would be threat ened and even the existence of the government endangered.
 When democratic measures and democratic policy have controlled the republic its material interests have been greatly advanced, it's limits large ly extended, so that the country has at- tained continental proportions and it's consideration among the nations im- mensely advanced. The party has never until now attempted to acquire power with the aid of others who have no sympathy with it's principles; never before attempted to carry election with affiliation with the enemy. Better in- f1nitely better, defeat with its honor and record untarnished than victory acquired by the surrender of it's con- victions.
 Tt Is matter for congratulation that there is reason to believe the good cause will triumph in November and the defeat of the enemy be so crushing and complete that the presidential doc- trines of the democratic-popu fac tion will probably never again become the issues of a presidential contest"

ITS GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Notable Convention of the American Miss
 sionary Association.

blOnhiy <ASbOCAdeAOh.
 Boston, Oct 20.-Congregational from near and far have been assem- bling in Boston during the past few days to attend the long anticipated golden jubilee of the American Mission ary association. The program Of this semi centennial celebration is notable one, and all phases of Christian work will be discussed by speakers repre- senting almost every state in the Union. President M. E. Gates presented the ju- bilee quartet, male and ferrale colored singers, from Fiske university Cover nor Wolcott was then introduced by President Gates to welcome the dele- gates in behalf of the state.
 Governor Woicott said: 1T am glad to speak a word of welcome on behalf of the state of Massachusetts. We of Massac achusetts like to believe that here in Boston is d fitting place for all re- Ngious and educational conventions. [ congratulate you that you are holding this meeting in the old city of Boston. I congratulate you on using the word jubilee I believe that fifty years gives cause for congratulation. So as you meet to-day can well believe, as your minds travel back over this periods that the word jubilee has no empty sound in your ears.
 Where continued beneficence is at work an organization like this takes on new life as the years go on. I should speak from the point of view of a cit izen of this nation. A prayer by these representatives of a colored race pos sesses peculiar pathos. Slavery now seems like$a a dark dream of the past. The blood which was shed in the war did not blot out the sin against the race, for 1t exists to-day and the asso- ciation is doing its part to extinguish this sin ana this trespass.
 You are doing something to heal the wrongs to the Indians. You extend to them the blessing of educational and manual training. Also in Alaska the people under the northern lights are being helped. I congratulate you for what you are doing for American citi- zenship, and I hope that when another fifty years shall have passed those who stand here will bring the tidings of irl- creased good works"
 President Gates then responded brief ly to this welcome, paying a tribute to the memory of Andrews, Greenhalge and Russell.
 Mayor Quincy welcomed the dele- gates in behalf of the city, seconding the words of Governor Wolcott. Tt seems to me- he said, that the work of your association is peculiarly an American work i'll the recognition of the needs of all mankind"
 Governor Samuel B. Herrick, pastor of the Mount Vernon church, welcomed the delegates in behalf of the Boston churches.
 After the addresses of welcome had been made the business was begun and Treasurer Hubbard presented his an- nual report.
 Following the treasurer's report Gov ernor A. R. Lyman Of Brooklyn read the fiftieth annual report of the execu- tive committee.
 The session closed with the henedic- ton.

Talking in another strain, he said the defat of Tillnian in the recent primaries of South Carolina was due to over confidence and that Tillman's power has not weakened in the slightest degree.
