banquet given by the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club and the Democratic State COM
mittee here to-day by presenting the name
of Secretary of State Richard Olney as the
candidate of Massachusetts and New Eng
land for the presidential honors at the hand
of the Democracy of the United States. The
name was received With unbounded enthu-
s:asm and 1t was several minutes before the
speaker could continue his grafton. During
the applause. a voice rang out What has
become of Willie Russell?' but the query
was neveJ answered. The banquet was pre-
sided over by Judge John w. Corcoran. and
he had as guests Judge Josiah Patterson. of
Tennessee; Ex-Governor John Davis. of
Rhode Island: Hon, ID. j. McGillicuddy, of
Maine, and several local lights.
Mayor Quincys address dwelt at length on
the Venezuela question. and said that the
action of the United States would restore
peace and set a standard whereby all inter
national difficulties would be settled in the
future He said that on that record the
Democratic party would have one Of its
strongest points in going before the people
at the next election. He then said that Mas
sachusetts can but present as its logical cam
6jdate the name OF Richard Olney, and he
believed that If that gentleman will allow
the use of his name the Massachusetts, del
egat:on and probably the delegations from
all the New England States would support
him in the national convention. and if nom
mated the party would go before the coun-
try with a creditable candidate and with
certain hopes of success.

UNLUCKY NAMES FOR SHIPS.

New York Press.

New York Press.
Never name vessel after saint or
an inland town. If you do, while she may
not be unlucky, she will never be what
you might call fortunate" The speaker
was an old salt who spends great de2l
Of his time down on the battery. and the
remark was occasioned by the stranding of
the ST. Paul at Long Branch. The sailor
man folded the paper he had been reading,
pocket, lit an aged. but still strong. stub
pipe. and, pleased with the land lubber's
attention, went on: Now. you men who
live ashore call some OF the sailors beliefs
superstitions; you can call them anything
you want to, but these beliefs are founded
on facts. Look at the ST. Paul-she was
troublesome when building, stuck on the
ways in launching and broke an air pump
on her maiden trip. Last December she
burst a steam pipe and killed nine men.
And now she has gone ashore. She's a
fine boat and we'll run-but her name is
too much for her.
Ever hear of the Spanish Armada?"
continued the old fellow, he warmed up.
We'll, most of the vessels in that fleet
were named after saints; what happened
to them? Perhaps you remember the ex-
pedition which France fitted out and sent
over here to destroy the ports on the New
England coast; il never reached its cesti-
nation-more saints. If Columbus had COM
manded the Pinto instead of the Santa
Maria he would have discovered America
just the same, and instead of dying in ig-
nominy and poverty he would have realized
some of the benefits of his discovery.
Look at the vessels named after inland
places; how many of the .Alabama's vic
Tins were named think of the Cum
beriand and Minnesota in Hampton Roads.
Do you remember the Camperdown? OF
modern steamers the Paris has never been
as fortunate as the New York, although
they are sister ships and built exactly
alike; the Spree has broken her snaft, run
ashore and mad harder luck than all the
other vessels of ner line put together.

majority OF vessels named in this are un-
fortunate. 1t is not a superstition. it is
fact. have been a captain for over thirty

ocean liners, and, being cussed Yankees.
were inclined to brag little. At the other
end OF our table sat an old English captain
who had retired years ago. He broke in on
us by saying: All right, Yanks, crow
away, but you want TO cut the saint of

A NEW STORY OF GREELEY.
Once Indicted for Felony by a Vir.
Einfa Grand Jury.
New York Mail and Expres,

The birthday of Horace Greeley, Feb. 3,
makes opportune a bit of Greeley history
unknown to his biographers and perhaps
unknown 10 himself. 1t is hard to believe,
bat TX is nevertheless a fact, that the
blessed old man was indicted for felony by
the grand jury of Harrison county, Vir-
ginfa- Three copies OF Greeley's weekly
Tribune were taken in the county, and his
abolition editorials were considered so Of
fensive to the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth that the Harrison county
grand jury finally took action in his case
Col. Benjamin Wilson, attorney for the
Commonwealth, drew the instrument. The
witnesses against Greeley were Amaziah
Hill and Seymour Johnson, subscribers for
the Tribune. The indictment recited that
on July 5. 1885, Greeley did write, print
and publish in New York the Tribune,
1.-The object and purpose OF which said
New York Tribune is 10 advise and incte

With the Indictment was filed copy OF
the weekly Tribune of July ;. 1856. in which
appeared an editorial touching the introduc-
tion OF slavery In Kansas. IL was under the
head. I'VE Will Subdue You" The text of
the article was not particularly offensive,
nor did the matter directly advise and In

that could not go unchallenged.

TWO DRAWN BOUTS.
Good Exhibitions of Boxing Wit
messed by boston Sports.

BOSTON, Feb. 22.-Upwards of 1000 per-
sons witnessed two of the finest exhibitions
OF boxing that have been held in Boston
Armory. under the auspices of the Suffolk
Athletic Club. A twelve-round go between
Nick Burley, of California, and Charley
Strong, of Newark, ". j., heavyweights and
a fifteen-round bout between Solly Smith,
or New York, and Johnny Lavick of Cleve-
land, We're the features, and both contests
resulted in draw. Burley was Unexpectedly
defeated by Strong in one round, at the
armory, Feb. 10, and in order to get on the
match for this evening his hackers were
obliged TO give Strong the entire purse and
a good bonus besides. The odds were 10
TO on Burley. Both men started in at
rapid pace. and the first three rounds were
of the whirlwind variety, with the odds in
favor or Burley, but in this round Strong
landed a heavy one on Burley's right hand
which he had hurt short while previously
with it during the rest of the contest. Bur-
ley drew first blood, in the third round
and twice during the contest his opponent
was saved by the gong from being Knocked
out Burley escaped without a scratch.
The Smith-Lavack contest was the star
bout of the evening. 1t was fifteen rounds
of speedy fighting, and were 1t not for the
excellent condition of Lavack he would have
been defeated. Both men weighed in at 125
pounds. Smith was handled by Benny Muir
Boston; George Truesdell and Joe Walcott
were in Lavacks corner. Capt. Bill DAILY
was referee. In the last round Smith forced
matters throughout. Sharp fn-ighting was
indulged in. Lavack got in telling uppercut
just before time was called. Both men were
in excellent condition at the end of the bout,
and the referees decision of draw was
received with favor by the entire audience.

WORRIES OF RAILWAYS.
Rate Troubles Of Western ROads-The
TranscOntinental Agreement.

CHICAGO. Feb. 22-Lines in the Trans
continental Passenger Association brought
a five days session TO a close here this
afternoon. 1t was the first meeting they
have had since their organization was ac-
complished. and they all agreed that it was
the most satisfactory they have ever had.
Under former arrangements the freight
and passenger associations were combined.
In consequence attention was concentrated
on freight affairs, to the great neglect of
passenger interests. Under the present ar
rangements passenger matters get the un-
divided attention of those having them in
charge. The attention of the meeting was
largely devoted to routine work relating to
putting the new agreement into practical
operation. One of the most important
matters disposed OF was the adoption Of
a form of agreement for the local asso-
Citations TO be established at all the i'm
portant points throughout the territory of
the association. The agreement as adopted
is almost Identical with that now in force
in Western Passenger Association territory.
Only such changes as were necessary to
meet the local requirements were intro
duced. Much time was devoted to the cir
