Mahone Wil Open His Campaign at Abingdon. BE WILL MEASURE FORCES WITH SENATOR DANIEL WHOM HE HAS DEFEATED FOR GOVERNOR ON ‘TWO OCCASIONS—A GREAT AMOUNT OF POLITI- CAL LITERATURE BRING SENT OUT. Prrersavao, Va., Sept, 21. Special Dispatch to Tux EVENING hTaR. Nothing has yet occurred of a very startling nature in the Virginia campaign. Mabone has unstacked arms today and tonight will set out for one of the stragetic points of the contest— the town of Abingdon and county of Washing- ton in southwest Virginia. Abingdon is on the line of the Norfolk and Western railway and has easy communication with a rich, enter- prising and populous region of the atate This road is » great arterial highway, ranning from Norfolk, on the Atlantic, to Bristol on the dividing line of Virginia and Tennessee. and is made up of several links or divisions of road as they were originally chartered and built. It was —— who ig — : opr them into their present grand entirety, and under the name of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio he was elected first ident of the first formidable system of railways at the south. His salary was $25,000 per year, # fact which the democratic Brier oar ‘are still harping on. A large coterie of one’s personal aad political friends will go with him from this city. Monday is court day at Abingdon and an immense concourse of persons is sure to be there at the measuring of forces BETWEEN MAHONE AND DANIEL. But there will be no joint debate or other friendly intercourse between these rivals. They have not spoken for years, Daniel's first ap- pearance in public life was in the reconstruc- tion period or 1869. He was sent by Lynch- burg to the lower house of the Virginia legisla- ture, and for a period of eight or ten years con- tinued to serve his city one or the other of thetwo branches of that body. Durin; most of this time he was in hearty accord wit Mahone and especially gave valuable aid to all Mahone’s railroad legislation, of which so much that is derogatory of Mahone and his methods is now in daily use from the press and speakers of the democratic party. The breach between them came when both wanted the democratic nomination for goy- ernor, now nearly ten years ago. Mahone, finding it was a little beyond his reach at that time, determined to defeat Daniel anyhow, and to that end combined his very large fol- lowing with a smail number of the friends of Col. Holliday of Winchester and gentleman an easy victory over popular antagonist, . Four years later and Daniel was nominated by his party. It came almost by acclamation, but readjustment had then become an over- shadowing issue in Virginia politics, and Ma- hone had no trouble in electing his candidate, Col. Cameron, over Daniel by about 15,000 ma- c to that is far more jority. DANIEL 18 NOW PAYING UP OLD SCORES, and in his speeches in the present canvass has several times made use of language quite of- fensive to Mahone. Mahone’s committee and their clerks are sending out a great quantity of Campaign material in the form of speeches and other papers of a political nature. A great deal of it is matter touching netional politics = — to the tariff, the Blair educational , &e. McKinney's np ig made in Charlottesville at the opening of the campaign Mahone seems to conser worthy his closest attention. Thou- sands of that speech are being distributed from republican headquarters here. The democratic candidate on that occasion denounced severely the tariff and was most and inflammatory in his remarks but that speech rela- AMONG THE RUINS. Efforts to Extricate the Victims of the Quebee Landslide. Quezec, Sept. 21,—Although rain fell inces- santly last night the work of digging out the victims of the landslide was carried on throughout the entire night. The efforts of the workers were concentrated on the spot where m man named 4 o'clock im to be seen at a distance en would shout “police, man is either hereto INSANE OR IN A DELIRIUM. Aman named Beauchamp, who, with his two brothers, had worked at the wreck with- out sleep ever since the landslide, crawled into @ small opening to get at Kemp, who was lying about 15 feet away under an immense pile of stones, but had not got 6 feet under the pile when the whole mass came down, on his back.

MILLER—GOOD TENNIS PLAYIN : ~ lieations arising from the arrest and Despite the threatening weather yesterday afternoon an interested audience, numbering about 150 people, witnessed the final contests in the tennis tournament on the grounds of the Bachelors’ club. The rains of Wednestay had ® good effect upon the courts, which have mever been in better condition this season. ‘The first match called was between Miller and Post, which was commenced at 3 o'clock. Both men were in good playing trim and each felt quite certain of a victory. Miller won the first set and in the second set seemed to have his own way, his opponent se- curing but one game, the sixth. The great iead of two sets to love made by Miller, eeemed to nerve rather than to discourage Post, The third set was by far the most interesting of the match and it was a singular fact that each man won his serve for twelve alternate games. The playing on each side was spirited and skillful, mse 4 volley displays being the features of e Bel Post finally secured the game. ‘The set stood five all, Miller wanting only two games to win the match. But this was not to be.

This set was played in better form by Post | than any of the four which preceded it and went to him without much difficulty by a score | of 6-3. The result of the match was some- what of a surprise, as Miller was fully expected to win and certainly should have done so after | getting the fret two sets, and bringing the { games to five allin the third set. This is | Miller's first defeat by Post, and places Post a | eg higher in the scale of prominent northern | ennis players, Points in game—Post, 164; | Miller, 161.

The spec- tators were clad in winter garments, and, al- though not raining, umbrellas were freely used against the wind. THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH was called at 1 o'clock, at which time the wind ‘was blowing a perfect gale and the dust clouds from the courts made the playing exceedingly difficult.
