THE NEGROES of Ohio, where, as
everywhere else, promises OF Office
were made to their ears only to be
broken to their hearts, have declared
that they have served the republican
party long enough without pay and
that therefore they will make other ar
rangements, and, as proof OF that in
tention, they have nominated a full
State ticket for the coming election
there, composed entirely of members OIL
their own race. But those familiar with
their characteristics are confident that
their natural resentment of the treat
ment they have received for their long
and effective support of the republican
party in Ohio is only tenn
porary, and that before election day
Mr.. Hanna's medicine will remove all

Death of George M. Pullman.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-George M. Pull
man, the well-known car builder, died
suddenly of heart disease at o'clock
this morning His death occurred in
his magnificent brown stone home in
this city, where he has resided for many
years. Mr.. Pullman retired last even
ing at his usual hour which was some
what early. He was apparently in his
ordinary health and there was no indi-
cation of his demise, or indeed any pre-
monition even of illness. Shortly af-
ter retiring he arose and attempted to
walk to lounge, but before he reach
ed it fell and became unconscious. Re.
storatives were applied but without
avail, and Mr.. Pullman quietly passed
away without regaining Consciousness.
Mrs. Pullman, who was in New York,
was Immediately telegraphed for, and
ia now on her way to Chicago. Mr..
Pullman's death affected the Chicago
stock market quite appreciably. He
was said to have been heavy holder
OF both Diamond Match and New York
biscuit securities, two OF the most &C
tive stocks listed on the local exchange.
When the announcement of Mr..
Pullman's death was posted on the
bulletin board it caused break in the
latter stobk of St points. A break of
six points in the Pullman Palace Car
stock was chronicled on Wall street,
but rally followed. 1t is believed in
stock exchane circles that Horace Por-
ter will succeed Mr.. Pullman as presi.
dent of the Pullman Palace Car Co.
Mr.. Pullman's fortune is variously es-
timated at from $90,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000.

OBSERVING THE MooN.-No water,

structed. The first observations OF
The moon through this telescope were
made Sunday night at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, Chicago.
F. L. o. Wsdsworth, of the observa.
tory staff, who obtained the first
glimpse Of the moon through the tele-
scope, said yesterday:
The moon is 8 magnificent sight
seen through the Yerkes instrument.
One can see an enormous number of
small details never seen before, such as
small craters and crevasses, but there
are no traces of air or vegetable life to
be detected.
ut is possible that the lines found
on the photographs taken at the
Meudon Observatory, in France, may
be crevssses. I don't pretend to say
what they represent. I only know
that the observations taken here fail to
give any confirmation of the theories of
the Partisan astronomers"

IF THE Southern Railway company
would, now, when labor is cheap, avail
itself of charter that was once offered
it, and that will be again, when Gov
ernor Tyler shall approve its renewal,
which Governor O'Ferrall refused to
do, and make the short extension of its
road from Mt. Jackson to the coal fields
of West Virginia, it would not only
greatly increase its own business, but
restore to this city all lis once large but
now lost coal trade. Should it do so
now, it would have only one regret, and
that would be its long delay.
