THE most appalling disaster which has
occurred in Cleveland, except the via
duct horror last winter, when a loaded
street car plunged 100 feet into the river,
occurred at 8'oclock on the evening of
Thursday July 16. While fat bottom
ferry boat loaded with between forty and
fifty laborers was crossing the old river
channel, it was capsized and all the men
thrown into the channel, and between
fifteen and twenty drowned. The acct
dent was due to panic among the men
on board. The boat was so loaded that the
gunwale was only three inches above
the water, and passing tug made waves
which came into the boat. At once
there was a rush to the other side and
the boat went under and spilled the men.
They were all members Of gang of ore
handlers and were going to their homes.
The scene in the river as described by
the men Oh the tug and the steamer
Langdon, which we're passing, was one
of wild struggle for life. Lines and life
preservers were thrown from both ves-
sells and many we're pulled aboard.
Others of the unfortunates we're res
cued by small boats and some swan
ashore.

cago is undoubtedly the triumph of pop

ton of the Populist party in the West
and South we're originally Democrats
and left that party because it was DOM
mated at every national gathering by
Eastern Democrats who represented
Wall street and the monopolists Of New

They Say Mckinley Will Yet Win
Ont.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Tclcphonc messages
and personal callers kept the campaign
managers in Il consistent state OF ac-
tivity to-day at Republican national,
State and county headquarters. The
rank and file of the party were concern
ed about the effect which MIR. Bryan's
campaign in Cook county might have on
the election day result in the city and
state. To all such inquiries the Rcpub-
lican leaders returned the answer that
the eleventh hour effort OF the Demo-
Gratis To capture the majority of the
Chicago voters would not change any
material number of voters already fixed
on the Republican side, and there was
no fear expressed at any headquarters
that n stampede was possible. The big
crowds were accounted for by the fact
that this was Chicago's first real chance
to see and hear the Presidential numi-
nee, and hundreds of Republicans went
TO each meeting only from curiosity.

fected in the least hy the arguments Of

II feel justified in increasing the fig
ures of McKinlcys estimated majority
IN Cook county as. a result of Bryan'a
visit. There is no such thing as defeat
here. The Bryan and .AltEcld mana
gers are straining every effort To carry
Illinois on the theory that this state
holds the key 10 the Presidential sitIa-
ton. The labor vote here for McIIin-
ley will be bigger than the Democratic

nine. eleven. thirteen or fifteen. This fact
and the knowledge OF 1t cost several men in
my neighborhood very dearly a few DAYS
ago. y farmer who raises q small crop of
corn and who has always been regarded
as of rather weak intellect, concluded that
he saw chance to make some bets Early
in the season no carefully scraped from q
dozen ears of corn just formed one of the
rows. The corn ripened, and the remain
ing rows grew together, SOFAS to hide the
evidence of the one removed ever havinf,
existed. Then the farmer offered to bet
either that the others could not or that he
could find ears of corn with odd rows He
had no trouble in getting some very good
bets on the latter proposition, but, of
course, none on the first. He then found
the ears he had fixed. and made az much
money on the dozen ears as he did on the
entire crop of corn. Now, any suggestion
fight in that neighborhood."
