To Shrewd Political Observers the Dem- ocrats Seem to Have the Advantage, Special Dispatch to Tax EvENIxa Stan. Pamaperura, Oct. 25.—The political cam- Paign in Pennsyivania has been the most heated, with probably the single exception of that has ever been witnessed. It is | doubtful whetier the memorable contest | between Hartranft and Buckalew for the gubernatorial offices approached in violence that which has been going on for weeks be- tween Delamater and Pattison. The excitement certainly never ran higher than now. Every- body is talking politics and everybody is read- ing all the campaign literature that appears in the daily papers. SENTIMENT THREE WEEKS sao. Until about three weeks ago the republicans were conducting their contest in a half-spirited way. They were on the defensive, and the leaders, including Chairman Andrews of the | state committee, seemed to be in daily fear of fresh charges, both against the gubernatorial candidate and Senator Quay, who is credited with the responsibility of naming the head of the ticket. The democrats, oa the other hand, with their candidate, who has always found favor in the eyes of alarge class of republicans of inde- pendent prochivities, entered the contest fall of ope and confidence, CHAIRMAN KERR CONFIDENT. Chairman Kerr of their state committee, from the day of the opening of the campaign, has impressed every one with whom he has been brought in contact with the sincerity of his declaration, He is today even more sanguine of success than six weeks’ ago. Now he predicts the election of Puttison by @ majority of at least 25,000. ‘The democratic managers have found in the inde- pendent republicans, under the lead of George Kt. Mapes, powerful allies. ‘Their campaign, while againet Delamater and for the success of Pattison, 18 for the overthrow of Senator Quay. Today they express confidence in the result and talk of the election of the demo- cratic candidate as a forgone conclusion, REPUBLICANS AGGRESSIVE, The republican fight has been made ag- gressive since ex-Chairman Cooper has been called in to assist Andrews, Hope has been inspired, but with the apparent change that has taken place there are many active men who look with fear upon the result. All the powerful agencies that can forcibly be em- ployed are bemg brought into the contest by the republican managers, and yet it is a signifi- cant fact that there are few willing to stake money upon the issue. Viewed by shrewd political observers the fight at best is a close one, with the advantago | in favor of the democratic candidate for gov- ernor. The demoers.tic organizations in the contest have been exceedingly active and ap- —— indicate that they have not been lacking for the necessary funds, Hon. Geo. D. Wise to Be Opposed.

John Mitchell, the editor of the Plunet (colored) of this city, will no doubt be nominated on Monday.

New Yorx, Oct. 25.—The stock market was very narrow this morning, and while there was amoderate degree of activity, the interest and the business done were almost all in the few’ stocks to which the bears paid particalar attention yesterday.

At Chi- cago tho excursion divided, one part going up around the great lakes, but the larger portion to Alabama and Tennessee. This southern ex- cursion has brought forth statements from prominent Englishmen that thero is no place in the world where iron can be so cheaply roduced as in’ the southern United States, The last stop made by the southern contingent was at Luray Cave, and from there they started for this city on three special trains made up of the finest sleeping cars, hotel, tourist and pri- vate cars that could possibly be obtained. It was found yesterday that the three trains were too heavy and some cars were taken from each and a fourth made up that was put in ahead of the third section. At Riverton the engine of the new section jumped a switch anda delay of several hours was occasioned the: THE NORTHERN PARTY arrived in the city a few hours later. and by 9 o’clock the corridors of the Arlington, Willar: and the Ebbitt were scones of bustling act Y. Such an imposing array of Englishmen hi probably not been seen in this city since the year 1814, when a number of the previ- ous generation came on less friendly purposes intent and succeeded in doing considerable damage to the Cc 1 _and other public buildings, A more agreeable and welcome party of guests could sked for than the present collection of Eng! and German iron men. The formerso largely outnumber the latter, however, that they give a decided British tinge to the whole party. They are a fine looking bod; of men, with @ clean-cut, beef-fed, healthy ‘air about them that showed evidences of good living and plenty of out- door exercise. A large number of young men are in the party, big strapping fellows, who looked like cricket and tennis players, every one of them. Their clothes, boots and hats, fresh from London, and the genuine English accent that they bad with them, were quite a revelation to the local admirers of their style, and shrewd guessers on the avenuo today were prophesying A FRESH OUTBREAK OF ANGLOMANIA, Almost every man in the party was provided with a short English pipe, and more men were to be seen on the streets today puffing # more or less fragrant briar than 1s often the case in this country, It is safe to say that hereafter pipes will iS quite the proper thing. One noticeable fact, though, was that many of the younger set have taken up with the seauctive American cigarette, and make use of them on every possible occasion. No sooner were the visitors safe at the hotels than the members of the locai_commit- tee on reception were besiege with the ques- tion: “And how soon may we have our lug- gage, don’t you know?” But the preparations that have been made for days ahead did not go astray in any particular, and before 10 o'clock great wagon loads of trunks, pasted over with allsorts of foreign looking marks and tags, were dumped down in front of the hotels, and many of the travelers disappeared into their rooms. In a little while they came forth look- ing as fresh and comfortable as though aed lived in the city and had never thought of suc! things as jumping from town to town ina hurry and living in trains for a month. THEY WANTED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW. But how they did ask questions! ‘Where are 2" “Te that the Capitol down the jow do we go to get to the navy yard?” “Where does Mr. Harrison hold forth?” “What are the plans for the day?” and a thou- sand and one beside that were enough to drive most people distracted. But several members of the local committees were on hand to answer and to plan for them. _Sec- retary Day was here, there and everywhere, and it was not long before order was brought out of what had looked like chaos. It was not chaos, though, for the travelers have been on the road too iong not to know how to take care of themselves under any circumstances if nec- essary. SIGHT SEEING. Ateach of the departments and points of interost geutlemen were on hand and deputed to look ont for the sight seers, and the guests were told at the hotel where to go first and how to go to get there. Some started out at once to do the patent and post offices and to be introduced to the heads of the depart- ments, Others headed first for the Treasury, while a large part went to the Capito! and from | there to the navy yard, where they had been told they would see a greut deal in the new ordnance works that would interest iron men. For several days past Jarge quantities of mail with foreign postmarks have been accu- mulating§ at the hotels and in the hands of the local committee, and the visitors who were lucky enough to get a share delayed their departure from the hotels awhile on thaf account. The waiting rooms were crowded all through the morning and letters by the score were sent off, presumably giving an account of first impressions of America’s capital city, THE LOCAL COMMITTEE having in charge the comtort of the visitors is composed of tho following gentlemen: Maj. J. W. Powell, chairman; Dr. David T. Day, secretary; Gen, A. W. Greely, Prof. 8, P. Lang- Jey, Gen. W. 8. Rosecrans, Dr, F. bP. Mclean, Dr. E. Richards, Mr. Herman Hollerith, Prof. C. Mendenhall, Commander F. M, Barber, Mr, Aruold Hague, Mr, 8. F. Emmons and Dr. Y. M. Chatard.’ All their preparation: for the entertainment of the distin- guished itors. «were made days in dvance, and as a result of their care and fore- | sight everything has gone off smoothly aud de- lightfully #o far and nota hitch bas occurred to mar the pleasure of the stay im this city. Still they wi ut in force today to look out for emergencies and to play the part of hosts, BRITISH LADIES ENJOY A DRIVE ABOUT THE CITY. In the party are betwoen sixty and seventy ladies, matrons and pretty English girls, with their clear, healthy complexions and bright eyes, As a rule they were dressed in plain, business-like traveling gowns of tweeds and cheviots, and broad, low-heeled shoes were the Dr. Day, thinking that very likely the ladies had had about all the sight- seeing and visits to iron works that t for, had planned another sort of amusement for them. At 10 o'clock @ tally-ho coach rlington and a few moments later a six-horse coach ap- peared on the scene. In a short time they were covered with ladiew and then started off on a rapid trot for # long drive around the city, to the monument, the Capitol and out through Soldiers’ Home. This occupled sev- eral hours and the ladies did not get back un- til 1¢ was almost time to start for afternoon reception at the White House, THE VISITORS WELL PLEASED. All were enthusiastic over the success of the they have taken through the country and the hospitable treatment they have received on all sides. They were unanimous in their praise of the country, the peoplo, and in short every- thing. Washington has’ already taken first place with them as a picturesque and beautiful city, but it must be admitted that, looking at it from the point of view that iron men cannot very well ‘taking, Washington is not “in it” for a moment with Pittsburg.

At$ o'clock the President held s special re- ception for the two institutes at the White House. Owing to the fact that the Executive Mansion is still in the hands of the decorators and re ers, thus rendering many of tne rooms unavailable, the reception by the Presi- dent was necessarily an informal one, ‘The local committee have issued invitations all the guests for a promenade concert at the Arlington, which promises to be a brilliant affair. In addition to the visitors only the members of the cabinet, the diplomatic and avery tew prominent people of the cit; have been invited. The ine Ban will furnish the music and there will probably be singing by some local musical organizations besides. Monday morning the will leave bere for Sparrow's Point, near Baltimore, to inspect the car works there, and then New York will be the first stop. It now looks as though the trip would have no formal ending, for a number of the party who have been on the southern trip will continue their excursion north to Niagara and to Canada, as they have been invited by the Canadian and Ottawan governments to visit a number of their cities and towns, This will postpone their re- turn to New York and their departure for home until about the middle of November. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR 18 DUE, The two men who deserve the lion’s share of the credit for the success of the whole excur- sion from New York through the west and back again are Secretary Kirchhoff of the general committee of arrangements and Mr. W. P, Shinu, the president of the institute of mechanical engineers and chairman of the committee of transportation. It was due to the efforts of the latter that the visitors were supplied with such magnificent railroud ac- commodations, and that the whole trip has been made without any trials or tribulations, Secretary Kirchhoff was standing in the lobby of the Arlington whena Stak reporter found him this morning. Mr. Kirchhoff is the editor of the Iron Age aud is a man of stand- ing in the iron trade. He is a skilled linguist in addition, for he was answering questions that were fired at him from all directions and was talking equally well in English, German and French, for there aro a few unattached Frenchmen in the party, But hoe managed to get in a little conversation in good, plain American with Tue Star man, when he was asked if it was altogether un easy task to man- age an excursion so large as this one is, NOT 80 EASY AS IT 100! “Well, not altogether,” said he, “Of course Mr. Shinn deserves most of the credit, but really I think I can say that the whole affair hasbeen a great success from beginning to end. But whet left New York—well, if you think it isan easy job to start off a party of that size you are away behind the times. At the beginning there were about 600 in the party, though, of course, a good majority of them have dropped out from time to time. But think of supplying berths and meals on the trains for that number and you have some idea of one small part of the work that had to be done, especially if you take into consideration the fact that more than two-thirds of the party had never been in an American sleeping car before. Why every last one of them expected a lower berth, and the to turn in was pretty likely to be the ones tha: took them regardless of how they were allotted. Of course this was only at the first, for we soon managed to get things somewhat straightened, and it did not take them long to learn the ropes. THE AMERICAN SPIRIT OF HOSPITALITY. “From first to Inet the wholo party have been treated with the most lavish hospitality and everything has been done togive them a good time. It is amazing at first thought, for there was nothing to made out of it—no axes to grind, you know. No such consideration as that could possibly have entered into the matter. ascribe it all to the innate spirit of hospitality in the American people. Here they have a large body of foreigners who are in a sense their guests and they have seemed determined that isitors shall not go home until they know just how well Americans can do things when they try. The whole affair has been a big un- dertaking and I am only too glad that it is turning out as well au it seems to be.” ‘Then he turned away to tell a representativ» of the English nobility where he would prob- ably find his luggage and to inform » young German when the next mail from the father- land would arrive; in two languages and both at once, —_——_— UNDERGROUND WIRES, Permit to the United States Electric Lighting Company.

Samuel Walker, a colored man supposed to be insane, was released yesterday aftor- noon from the workhouse, where he had served two months for vagrancy. He reached the home of his sister, Emma Walker, No, 809 Grant avenue, soon after sun- down, and his actions impressed his relatives more than ever with the suspicion that his mind was affected, Between 8 and 9 o'clock p.m, he extinguished a lighted lamp and pees the oil on the floor. While doing this eo was singing a hymn, Then he got some matches and set firo to the oil, Fortu- nately the flames were extinguisheg before the house was injured much and Sam was locked up for arson. He was taken to the Police Court this morning and arraigned by Clerk Potts, who asked if he was guilty or not guilty. The penne response was: “I am inclined to fulfill the scriptures.” Judge Miller heard evidence as to the prison- er’s ivsanity and the papers were certified to the Secretary of the Interior in order to have him sent to the insane asylum, peste Important Real Estate Sales.

Just afterward the judge took a bowl of beef tee with apparent relish and then sat down in ® large arm chair. A girl came into the room to comply with some request of the judge, who said to her, “Thank you,” and a minute later he was dead.

He graduated st Bowdoin College about fifty-five years ago, and for some years he engaged in teaching at St Albans Academy in Hartford. This occu- pation he left to study law and, being admitted | to the bar, settled in Fairfield. Here he built up a successful practice, and when the war came on he took an active part in the raising of troops, contributing his means as wel! as his influence. and in November, 1861, he entered the service ax captain of company B, thirteenth Maine infantry, of which Neal Dow was the colonel. ‘This regiment served during the war inthe department of the gulf, and Captain Snell's services were such that he was brevetted first major and then lieutenant colonel. After the war Judge Suell came to this city and when the Police Court was established he was appointed to the judgeship, holding the position for three successive terms of six ears each, On being succeeded by Judge | Miller he, with Mr. Howard L. Prince (the | former clerk of the Police Court), entered into | law practice,having an office opposite the court house. Since then he had been actively en- | gaged. having some important cases, among | them that of Nelson Colbert, charged with the | murder of Philip Wenzel. He had been president of the board of mana- gere of the Associated Charities of the District of Columbia for the past five years, in which work ho took # deep interest, For the past two yeurs ho was also member of the board of di- rectors of the Industrial Home School of the District of Columbia and of the board of di- rectors of the Suburban Building Association. In religion he was a Methodist, for many years being one of the most active members of the Metropolitan Church. He was a member of crete ee Lodge, No. 23, F.A.A.M., of this city. He had just purchased his home at 937 K street and had nicely furnished 1t. He leaves jow, one son and one married daughter, his son being @ practicing phymcian in Maine, and the daughter being also, as stated above, & resident of that state, OUNCEMENT IN THE POLICE COURT. This morning, soon after the Police Court convened, Mr. Campbell Carrington announced the death of Judge Snell. Mr. Carrington said that it seemed but a day since he had seen the judge on the bench. “We are here today,” he | said, ‘to eay what we said when our departed friend was with us. The departed judge was true to the high trust reposed inhim. He held the scales of justico with an even and impar-! tial hand. The judicial ermine that was placed upon him nearly twenty years ago was laid down as pure and unsullied as he first wore it. Our departed friend bore the white flower of ® spoticss judicial life, marked by absolute honesty, unswerving integrity, marked legal ability, a wonderful knowedge of human na- ture, and above ail a broad humanity aud char- itable kindliness that marks not only the firm, upright, mereiful judge, but the warm hearted Christian gentleman.” Judge Miller said that Mr, Carrington had properly mentioned the death of the one who for vo many years dispensed justice with an im- partial haud. It was with inexpressible sorrow that he mentioned the death of Judge Snell, who, by long years of distinction, had won the | good will of the people and the proud appella- tion of a just judge, and it was right that some action should be taken to honor his memory, now that he is uo longer with us. In the Equity Court today Mr. A. B. Duvall announced the death of Judge Snell in feeling terms and moved the adjournment of the court in respect to his memory. Judge Bradiey made some appropriate remarks in ordering the adjournment, r. Perry Carson has called a meeting of the colored friends of the late Judge Snell at his hotel on Monday evening to take action in reference to the judge's death, Jurors Drawn.

EXPLORING ROCK CREEK, Horseback Excursion of the Park Com- mission Today. AN EXHILERATING RIDE THROUGH THE PICTUR- ESQUE VALLEY—PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS WITH A VIEW TO LOCATION OF THE GREAT PARK—LOOKING FOR A BOUNDARY STONE. The Rock Creck Park commission is ap- proaching the conclusion of its survey labors. Its members have seen the tract in which the great rescrvation will located and they have about made up their minds as to where the lines will run. Another day or two of exploration will settie this and then Capt.Rossell can start out on the final surveys, from which a map of the park will be constructed. That will ease the minds of some people and disturb the equanimity of others, THE START. The cool nor'western zephyrs were bunting around this morning for whiskers to blow | through when two members of the commis- sion assembled on P street just west of Iowa circle. They were Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian Institution R. Ross Perry. The former arrived on the scene in his carriage; the latter awaited his arrival while leaning against the English saddle that was burdening the back of a chest- nut mare. It was to be a horseback excur- sion, so Prof. Langley sent = messenger after the animal he was to bestride. Capt, [Rosell drove up in his buggy, leading behind the vehicle a _pale-colored equine of meek demeanor. Tue Stax reporter was there. Gen. Casey was not. Business of an urgent nature compelled the chairman of the commission to forego the pleasure of hav- ing his interior department jarred out of poxi- tion while seeking new beauties over the hill and dale with which the Rock creek region is 80 liberally supplied, Gen. Boynton was ready in front of his home on Rstreet between i3th and 14th when the imposing procession approached and there was no delay. The occasion was a somewhat mem- orable one for the general, it being only the | second time since the close of the war that he had indulged in equestrianiem. But he hasn't forgotton how to ride, ENJOYING THE OZONE. The delicious air along the Broad Branch road was remarked upon frequently and evi- dently appreciated. Pierce's mill was passed at @ rapid gait, and at times the quiet country folk might havo easily imagined that a horse race was in progress, From the Military road the party branched off into the Daniels road; literally and truthfully into it, for the soil was moist, to put it mildly. A path crosses the termination of the Danicis road and along this toward the Brown place. HUNTING FOR A BOUNDARY STONE. Ata tumble-down cottage a halt was made in order that information be obtained as to the whereabonts of one of the boundary stones, A young colored woman, surrounded by severai children, numerous pigs, a number of tacless dogs and an assortment of chick- ens, could throw no light on the subject, so Mr, Perry and Capt. Rosse:., thejlatter now mounted on his pale horse, moved over the hills in search of a guide, while Gen. Boynton and Prof. Langley spread a iuge map out beneath @ persimmon tree and talked business, During tue absence of the boundary seekers a messenger arrived with the professor's saddie horse. and when Mr. Perry and Capt. Rossell returned in com- pany with a guide, but without the stone, everybody was ready to move on. HUNTING FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK. Led by Mr. Cummins, one of the landowners whose property will be required of him, the party filed into the adjacent timber to look at the monument which marks a portion of the northern line. As a search it resembled very much the popular pastime of hunting for | needle in a haystack and it was just about as uccessful, All the members of the band of explorers, with the exception of Gen. Boynton, stuck as closely as possible to Mr. Cummins, GEN. BOYNTON MISSING. The general went off by himself, and when the others had come to the definite conclusion that there wasn't any such thing as a boundary monument within 7!¢ miles the general was no- where tu be found. Of course no one supposed that the veterau woodsman, soldier and jou: list would allow himselt to be seriously laced, but every one did fear that he might id ave ' more than a little troubie in finding his way out of the deuxe growth, which was in places too thick tor the horses te break down or pene- finally be | and Mr.) ono of his rider's legs by forcibly rubbing it against a particular rongh tree, The experience was a most interesting one and would have been very enjoyable if it had pot been for the absence of Gen. Boynton; at least that is what Mr. Perry sad, 4 G00D ROAD—THE Lost FOUND. Thero was some stumbling over fallen trees, a little jumping of gullies and then followed a climb which made every horse eligible to membership im an Alpine club, Through the pines, from the brow of the hill—th» site of an old cemetery—the road was fairly good, and when in the open was seen the carriages and the long-lost commissioner everybody felt as though there was something still left to live for, jobody found Gen. Boynton, He found himeelf. and he was at times unkind enough to insinuate that he was the only member of the | Party who was not lost, GEN. BOYNTON'S DISCOVERY. While his companions were floundering through the labyrinths along the creek he had discovered beautiful landscape and to it | he conducted Prof. Langley and Capt, Russell. Accompanied by a newly-found guide Mr, Perry started off to find tiat boundary stone, and although the natives around insisted that that the stone aud the landscape could be reached on horseback there was an unani- mous sentiment in favor of pedestrianism. ‘This was at first regarded as somewhat singu- lar, When the landscape had been suff- | ciently admired and the stone found the | party one more met where the carriages were Waiting and then junch was disposed of, HOME AGAIN. From the Daniel's road the ride was con- tinued to the vicinity of Pierce's mili and at about 3 o'clock the Commissioners returned to the city, meeting half an hour Jater in the War Department, where Gen. Casey, who had been out —_horseback-riding, sat im his office awaiting bis collearues Two afternoons next week will be devoted to inspecting the region where the Zoological Park will adjoin its larger brother, and that will eud the survey labors of the commission, GOVERNOR HILL’S FSCAPE. His Train Kun Into by an Express at Moundsville. Caxerox, W. Va., Oct. 25.—Governor Hill and party, accompanied by T. §.

ROUGH RIDING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS. It was a comparatively easy thing to say, “Let us ride down to the creck.” It was some- thing else to do it Dead leaves and moss and twigs covered the sloping and muddy soil to such a depth that the horses frequently sank until their knees were almost hidden in the decomposing mass. Sprincy branches and elastic saplings gave way grace- fully as the leader pushed them aside, and then they bounded back just in time to smite somebody's nose or cheek. Hands and faces were scratched and the hard hats worn by: some of the adventurous ones looke: as though they might have been res- cued from beneath a few tons of brick. Green vines, many of them prickly as cactus, insinuated themselves between the knees of riders and the saddies, almost u nhors- ing the victims,and while attempts were being made to get clear of the interrupting creepers one man’s horse tried to amputate || They both tipped the beam ut 157 from Pottstown.
