A FRENzIED oVArI0N.
Thirty Thousand People Extend General
Harrison IA Patriotic Reception,


Muncie, Ind, Oct. S0.-General Harri-
son and his party, including Hon. John
Finley of Boston, made a fast run from
Knightstown to Anderson, where $4,000
to 10000 persons welcomed the express
ident. The same stand from which Mr.
Bryan spoke last week had been erect
ed in the great open field near the sta
ton, and gathered upon the grassy
slopes were acres of people, hardly a
tenth of them able to get near enough
to hear word. He was given an ova-
ton when he reached the stand Gen.
eral Harrison spoke TO Workingmen and
dwelt at length upon the theory that
free silver and an imitation Of the cur
rency would operate as a reduction of
their income.
At Muncie, where the train arrived at
1880, the streets were packed all the
way from the railroad to the court
house square. An incident which oc-
CURED during the morning had keyed
the expectations up to high pitch.
The announcement that General Har-
the court house had drawn together a
great crowd of people, who had taken
UP positions near the stand and were
holding them during the morning until
he should come.
With a fore knowledge of this condi-
tion of affairs, the democrats had
brought Eugene Debs to town and he
suddenly disappeared and made a
speech from the courthouse steps. The
intention was to have him speak from
the same stand as General Harrison,
but the republicans guarded it and
would not permit him to mount it. !,
This ambuscade aroused the wrath as
well as the enthusiasm Of the republi-
cans, and they displayed an almost
frenzied enthusiasm for General Harri-
son upon his arrival He was escorted
through the crowded streets to the
stand where he found the big square
packed with people cheering them
selves hoarse. The ovation given him
upon his appearance lasted five min
utes. He spoke half an hour, address
ing himself largely to the tariff.

H4LLOWE,EN EYE.
Delightfully."- Celebrated by the Pequot
Association.

PGOuOt
Association.
Halloween eve was celebrated by the
Pequot association at the club house.
Morris Cove, yesterday afternoon and
evening. Many came down in the af-
ternoon and attended the sale Of fancy
work contributed by the members of
the Pequot council. There were many
beautiful and costly pieces sold, and
over $100 was realized from this source
alone. The main hall was handsomely
decorated with laurel, ground pine and
autumn foliage. From each chandelier
and side lamp hung hollow pumpkin,
in which was cut hideous face, and
a lighted candle placed inside. In the
north end of the hall was large flower
booth, which was artistically decorated.
American flags and yachting colors
hung everywhere, but ths Halloween
idea was carried out in decorations
only. Caterer Fleming served a very
satisfactory meal, after which followed
an excellent musical program of in
strumental and vocal music, which was
under the direction Of Mrs. f. Howard
Russell The entertainment opened
with Eel Captain" by the Hillhouse
Banjo club. Miss Helen Hofer then
sang two songs, and Miss Lu Della

played Theme Allemsnd," and a fam

and for a girl still in her teens, has a
brilliant future before her Her last
number, "Wieniawskis valse'' was ad-
mirably rendered. Mrs. Russell then
sang two gems, much to the delight of
her hearers. 1t is to be regretted that
her voice Is not heard more often in
public, for as a concert singer, she has
but few equals here. 1t was after 8
o'clock when dancing was begun,
which was indnlged in mostly by the
younger people. Tie weather being so
mild the outside verandahs were util-
lied between the dances. Among those
dancing were Miss Mildred Champion
of st. Louis, Miss Hattie Sanford, Miss
Alice Wells, Miss Annie Banks of Gull
ford, Miss Mae Dow, Miss Fitch, Miss
L. Della Clark of Union City, Miss
Edith Talmadge, Miss Jennie Beers,
Miss Daisy Clinton, Miss George
Hardie, Miss Lillian Wright, Miss May
Warner, Miss Charlotte Bushnell, Miss
Carrie Booth.
Those down to supper included Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Haswell of Hartford, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Ferry, Mr.. and Mrs.
c. w. Pickett, Mr.. and Mrs. N. p.
Bishop. Mr.. and Mrs. c. J. Fox, Mr..

Since the summer season the private
rooms have been plastered and finish
ed, and also the club rooms furnished
with steam heating apparatus, and it
is the intention to hold monthly enter
tainments during the winter. 1t was
estimated that over $500 was realized
last evening.

FIRE IN 4 CARPENTER sHop.
T. l.. Davis Loss About $1OO-Hors'
Runs Through a Crowd of People.

T. l.. Davis Loss About $1OO-HOr Orse
Runs Through aaCrowd of People.
About 8 o'clock last evening a fire
was discovered in a heap of shavings
in the carpenter shop of 7. L. Davis,
over the livery stable of Edward F.
Bishop on Little Orange street. The
fire was extinguished very soon after
the engines arrived. The loss amounts
to about s75 or $1OC; fully covered by
insurance.
The horses in the stable below were
cut loose and a large gray mare dashed
up Crown street and through a crowd
which was watching the democratic
parade, knocking down Sidney Benham
and a little German girl, and running
into baby carriage and upsetting it.
Fortunately the mother was holding
the child in her arms, SO that a serious
accident was avoided. The German
girl was stunned by the blow and was
taken INTO an adjoining saloon, where
she was soon revived with a glass of
wine and she returned home
The horse ran into the telephone pole
and so did not strike Mr.. Benham with
full momentum, which fact probably
saved him from being seriously injured.
The animal turned down Church street,
running between the lines of the parad-
ers, and down Meadow street. Here
the horse knocked down a newsboy, but
did not hurt him much. After running
for quite a distance the horse was final
ly stopped and brought back to the sta

5000 ooLLEa1ANs IN LxNE.
A Picturesque, Noisy Parade Through
Boston's Crooked Streets.

BostOn's Crooked Streets.
Boston, Oct. 30-The first picturesque
and certainly the noisiest procession of
the campaign here was the college re-
publican torchlight parade tonight in
which 1000 or 5000 representatives Of
New England colleges participated. The
line was formed on Dartmouth street,
near Hotel Vendome, and the start was
made soon after o'clock. Arnold
Scott, Harvard '97, was chief marshal,
being assisted by alarge staff of aides.
All along the route of the parade the
streets were filled with people, while
from the windows that commanded a
good view of the paraders were unoc-
cupied AS the line passed through
Beacon street it was reviewed by Sena-
tor Lodge. Red fire and the light from
the torches brightly Illuminated the
streets and with the many flags and
streamers with which buildings are
covered in honor of flag day" made
the scene a most brilliant one.
In the line were delegations from
Harvard varsity, Law school, Medical
school, and Dental school; Tufts col
lege; Boston university and Boston
University Law school; Massachusetts
Institution of Technology, the advance
guard Of the latter being mounted on
donkeys; the Fitchburg Mckinley crew,
minus it's cruiser, however, as permis-
sion could not ibe obtained to run it
over the West End street railway
tracks. There were also organizations
from Newton and other neighboring
places.
s Fifteen or twenty bands and drum
corps did their best to drown the cries
and college yells of the students, with
out success. More than a score Of tai
ly-hos and their vehicles loaded with
students lent variety to the parade, and
the big rubber tired tricycle. that was
used in Cambridge's fiftieth anniver-
sary parade was an interesting fea-
ture. Innumerable transparencies
We're carried which, as they were de-
ciphered, were greeted with Kisses or
cheers, according as the sentiment
thereon expressed happened to please
the crowd.
AS far as learned there was no serious
disturbance during the parade, which
was not ended until nearly IL o'clock.

NOW THE PRESIDENT WILL KNOW.
Special Wires TO the White House VIII
Furnish Election Returns.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The prepara-
tions for the receipt of election returns
at the white house next Tuesday night
do not differ in any respect from the
arrangements which have given salts
faction in past years. The bulletins of
the United Associated Presses and of
the Western Union Telegraph company
will be received at the white house by
special wire, as also personal Dispatch
es from friends of the president in va
riaus states. Two years ago the presi-
dent went to his country home at
Woodley on election night and the
more important bulletins were trans
nitted to him over the long distance
telephone by Private Secretary Thur
Der. This method may perhaps be re-
peated this year, as the Woodley resi-
dence has been completely repaired and
all the ravages of the recent storm have
been effaced.
