Coxemecs, Ouro, August 5.—There is a con- siderable defection of the colored vote from the republican party imminent in Obio in the coming election. Muny of the leading colored republicans do not think they have received a fair share of the offices to be given out by their party. The democrats have tuken pains to re- ward with offices the few colored men who have come into their party in recent years, and this is having thedesiredeffect, ‘The tariff ques- tion will also split off a few colored voters from the old party. The mass of this discontented colored cle- ment is likely to go into the democratic party, but the people's party will catch not a few. A well-informed colored man of this city told Tur.

N.G., arrived home from ite Bay Ridge campaign yesterday after- noon, passing up Pennsylvania avenue sbout 4 oclock. Although looking somewhat dusty and dirty from the effects of the march, they present a most serviceable and business-like appearance. This trip and that of the cavalry troop have demonstrated the fact that our militia can no longer be called “play soldiers.” It was composed of men who are not afraid of hard work, can stand exposure, and are wil- to sacrifice time and money for the sake of acquiring « knowledge of the practical side of ier's life. Of courke the actual fighting and fire disci can only be learned = in war or more extended maneuvers, but it must have been clearly shown to the doubters that we nowhave a body of mer: who can bedepended uponforemer- Gencies and need only encouraging legislation and systematic instruction to be that is nec- essary fora oy eae to thaintain for its protec- tion in time of war. THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED. In this case a body of young men volantarily formed into a military organization under offi- cers of their own selection, make # march across a strange tract of country, caring for themselves, their horses and — guns, piteh car and spend the _— time while there in solid instruction, and make the return march, arriving home in good con- dition and possessed of much valuable informa- tion regarding the art of war, which will at some future time be of great value to the na- tion, and all this largely at their own expense, as Congress failed to make the necessary appro- priation for camp duty this year. Such an exhibition of military spirit is to be commended and enconraged by the substantial citizens of the community and the government anthorities. Goop TIME MADE. The march made by the battery in two days was forty-two miles, a rate of progress which by comparison with past examples of ac- tive service will be found exceedingly good. The return was made in quicker time, the horses being in better condition and_ more ac- customed to the work.

Mr. George Stamp's Heroism. Last night George Kelley was standing on the wharf at Marshall Hall waiting for the re- turn boat to arrive when he fell overboard and would have drowned had it not been for the bravery of Mr. George W. Stamp, who jumped in after him without stopping to remove his clothes. When Mr. Stamp succeeded in land- ing the unconscious Kelly he was loudly cheored. Kelly was brought around after con- siderable exertion and was profuse in his grati- tude to the man who had saved his life.

Business Transacted at the Session This Afternoon in the Academy of Music, ‘There wasa very fair attendance of delegates and interested spectators at the afternoon ses- sion of the Catholic Total Abstinence conven- tion today. There are present today 178 dele- gates, representing eighteen unions, and bear- ing regular credentials from their respective societies, There are thirteen spiritual directors from as many unions and all the unions taken to- gether were entitled to 5% votes. This 178 also includes eleven presidents of unions. In addition to the official delegates there were several hundred members of out-of-town soci- ties present at the convention. It was about 2:30 o'clock when President Cotter called the convention to order and opened the meeting with a brief praye:. REPORTS OF THE PRESIDENTS. The first business on the program was the reading of the reports of the presidents of the different unions, and as each union was ealied upon in alphabetical order the chairman of its delegation arose and read & fow items of interest, such as tho number of societies and membership of each, together with a brief reference to any special work that might be doing. Many of the reports were of a very encoursg- ing nature and there was’ more or less applause at various pointe in the reading.

A NOTABLE EXHIBIT, A Reproduction of a Convent at Palos to Be Sent to the World's Fair. The committee on foreign exhibits of the world’s Columbian exposition have recom- mended the erection at Jackson Park, in Chicago, of an exact reproduction of the old Convent of La Rabida, at Palos, Spain. It will be remembered that this convent is more closely associated with the life of Columbus than any other building in the world. It was here that he applied for bread’ and water for his child, and here he was furnished shelter for two years while he was developing his theory of a western passage to the Indios, and it was here that he lived while Preparing for the voyage, and in the little chapel attached to the convent he attended mask on the morning he sailed. Here, too, he sought refug2 again upon his return_from'the discovery, and here 25 always found a com- fortable and hospitabl> refuge in the days of his trouble and anxiety. It is proposed to make the reproduction ex- act. It will be of the sume dimensions, of simi- lar material, and whenever thers isa blemish or a broken tile iti the original they will be re- produced. The work will be cone unde- tho direction of Mr. Franklin W. Smith, a wealthy, enthusiastic amateur architect, who lives in the Moorish villa “Zorayda,” at St. Augustine, Florida, during the winter, and in the Pomeiian villa at Saratoga during’ the summer. Mr. Smith has had more experience in the repro- duction of ancient architecture than any other man, and tenders his services without cost to the exposition. ENCOURAGEMENT IN CHILI. Lieut. Charles H. Harlow, the special com- missioner of the Latin-American department, who is now in Chili in the interest of the world’s fair, writes in very encouraging terms of the progress that he is making. He says that the revolution is not interfering in any material degree with the preparation of an exhibit from that country for the Chicago exposition. The government commissioners have been appointed and have organized division of labor. The nitrate companies have asked for plenty of space for « large ditplay; twenty-five differ- ent wine manufacturers have united for a Joint exhibit, while the exhibition of minerals from that country promises to be something en- tirely unprecedented. ee England's Champion Cricketer. London Letter to Philadeiphia Bulletin. Tam notaware of the social status of Mr. Jardine, the Oxford captain, but Mr. McGregor, the captain of the Cambridge team, is the son of an Edinburgh hotel keeper. Observe the note of admiration that ends the foregoi sentence. A tavern keeper's son to comman an Oxford ‘Varsity cricketing team! The notion is enough to make an old Blue of the true breed, a patrician of blue, blue blood, shudder again. Now, what is the cause of this? I willtell you. McGregor happens to be the finest wicket keeper in England, amateur or professional. He could not be left out of the team. Cricket levels both up and down. ‘That is one remarkable feature in the constitu- tion of the teams. Here is another. The best bowler on the Oxford side is a gentleman named Bassett. Well, it is a fact that for some time he was looked askant at by “the manage- ment” of the Oxford team_and_ practically left outin the cold. Why? Do not laugh. Be- cause his father is, or his people are, some- thing in the hi sing line. +o Table Talk ina French Home, From the Forum. Children being nearly always at table in France, and conversation often being ani- mated among their elders, hear # great deal that was never intended for them, and they get a sort of education in talkativeness by mere example. They may make little use of this in the ‘presence’ of strangers during boyhood or — but it. bursts out after- ward when they get to n talking age. It is recognized by custom that when a family ix in rivate every one has a right to talk or not, as fo pleases, and silence being permitted, the taciturn will take advan of it. Still, nothing is more national in French life than talkativeness at meal times, even when the family alone is present. ‘This docs at least keep up the national power of talking, though the mill wheels of conversation have fre- quently very little grain to grind. ‘Talk of this kind has some use as a stimulating exercise of the lighter faculties, which in other countries are often left unexercised. The merits of it are its facility for expression and its ample choice of Ia . © defects of it in France may be included under the one head of insufficient or inaccurate information.

THE ODOROUS ONION, The Home Life of That Tear-Compelling Esculent on the Western Keserve. HALF & MILLION BUSHELS OF THEM GROWN IN LAKE COUNTY, OHIO—THE FOES OF THE VEGE- TABLE AND THE CARE REQUIRED Ix WEED- ING—THE VARIABLE PRICES. ‘Correspondence of The Evening Star. Penny, Ouro, August 1, 1801. The long line of yellow Lake Shore coaches whirling along the low southern shore of bine Erie carries the traveler through one of the finest farming regions in the country, and as one gets hurried glimpses of large, home-like farm houses, with brightly painted barns and well-kept yards and orchards, farms carefully tilled and dotted with thrifty vineyards and berry fields and maple groves that seem always to invite to picnicking, one vainly cudgels his think box to remember a more favored bit of the world, One of the most beautiful parts of this region is the historic Western Reserve of Ohio, so famous in war time as the home of Ben Wade and Joshua Giddings and later of the lamented Garfield. The reserve has an even dozen of counties, and if any one of these is to be given first place it must be “Little Lake,” the emali- est and one of the richest counties in the state, famed the country over as the home of Gat fielé—and the onion. NEARLY 200,000 BUSHELS SIFTED LAST YEAR. Onions! Well, to use that expressive Ameri- canism, I should smile, or, to be strictly correct, should weep. Last year this little county shipped away of onions nearly 200,000 bushels, and some years, as in ’88, has rounded out a full 600,000. Of these tremendous amounts nearly half is raised by , the smallest township of this smallest county, and where, instead of the Py “How dv do?” the happy granger greets you with “How's your onions?” erry, no matter where you turn, onion is king and council too. Field after ficld, acre after acre‘of them meet the onion-sick visitor onevery band. Onions everywhere, and few soils are 80 poor as to be slighted. Clay, gravel, sand, loam, all do their share, but the soil of ali soils for the onion is the rich black muck, made by vegetable decay and growing onions of so monstrous a size as to be beyond all belief. A curious thing about muck is that it will burn readily when dry, and has been known to burn to the depth of a foot or more, making it com- pletely worthless. SOWN IN MARCH. In the latter part of March the onions are sown in drills or rows twelve to fifteen inches apart and jn a few weeks are large enough for the first weeding. The rows are Gone over with « “Planet, jr.,” as the cultivator is called, and the earth nade loose and mellow. Then the boys fairly swarm to the fields and the “patches” are dotted with shavers of, all ages toastin, their bare shins in the broiling sun and weed- ing for dear life. The boys generally use to help their tired fingers ‘“w ” ‘made of thin strips of steel, bent in triangular shape andfastened to wooden handles. With these the work is lessened by half and the boys lit- erally “knuckle in” in their haste to get to the end of the field." The weeding must be done over three or four times at least, and if the season be a rainy ono the weedings must be doubled and all the boys out of dresses kept on the qui vive fighting the miserable “‘pusley” or purslain, the plague of all onion fields. ‘Boys of ten to fifteen are p: $1 to $1.50 @ day for weeding and in the busiest times the town must be scoured to find boys enough. In eee fields the weeds are all gathered and lugged away and great care is taken lest any go to seed. THE FOES OF THE ONION. Few crops have more foes than the onion to contend with. Often it is attacked by a kind of louse and almost eaten up. The cut worms and wwice worms levy exorbitant toll, too, and show great energy iu collecting it. Besides, a form Of blight often spreada over the fields andthe thrifty green toy are soon yellow and shriveled. Through all thes: trials the farmer must keep a stout heart, and it the 1s 0 serious set- back it will be ripe and resdy for “palling” by the ist of September. ‘The pulling is generally done by hand and the onions left on the ground till thoroughly dried. Then “topping” or gutting away the dry tops is in order, and the boys have thefr hands full again. “Snip, snip.” go the shears and one at a time the onions go into the crates, while the lad reckons his probable earnings at the rate of 3 to Scentsa bushel. After onions are barreled and are ready for the market, and it one will alight at the litt Perry station at an: time in the fall he will find the quiet little vil. lage hustling with bi and the coopers working wi might and main to keep the ship- pers supplied with barrels. ‘The onion crop ‘alone brought into the county last year over $130,000, and of that amount at least £80,000 went to this little township. ‘THE VARIABLE MARKET PRICE. Nothing is more variable, however, than the market price of these fragrant treasures. I CHINESE GAMBLING CASES. How They Were Disposed of in the Police Court Today. ‘The Chinese gambling cases were disposed of in the Police Court today. The raid, as pub- lished in Monday's Stan, was made on Hip Wah’s house on 4%; street by Detective Block and Lieut. Kelly's officer's, who broke up a game. Lawyer Campbell Carrington appeared as counsel for Hip Wah and George Louce, the dealer in the game, when the case was called in the Police Court today. He agreed that the Chinamen should leave the house within two weeks, and the celestials expressed a willingness to sign a. contract to that effect. Under the circumstances Prosecuting Attor- ney Clagett agreed to allow a forfeiture of $100, in each case, and that action was taken. ese Disorderly in a Street Car. Policeman Hurd, dressed in citizen's clothes, boarded a Washington and Georgetown street car last night to ride to the city, and on the’ seat with him were three colored men who were under the influence of hquor. They bad been across the river. When the conductor came along there was a dispute about the fare, and men became so dis- rly that they were arrested. They gave their names as George Calvert, James Jackson and Henry Lrown. Today ther were tried in the Police Court and Calvert was fined $10 or thirty days on the farm. ‘The others were fined half that amount. $<» Burial Permits.

IS IT GREATER THAN NIAGARA? Mr. Bryant Going to Labrador to Explore the Big Cataract. The mystery which has always hung over the | Grand Falls, in the interior of Labrador, says the Philadelphia Record, is to be cleared away at last, and in a few months the | scientific world will know whether the falls | in Grand or Hamilton river are the greatest in the wosdd or whether the previous accounts | have been greatly exaggerated. Henry G. Bryant, a member of the Philadelphia bar, ac- | companied by Prof. Kenistor of Georgetown | University, is now on his way to visit the falls, | having sailed from St. John's, N.F., on the | next to the last stage of the journey Only two wnite men have ever seen the falls, so far as is known, and they both place the height at 2,000 feet. Both of the men stood high in the service of the Hudson Bay Com- Pany, and although they saw the falls at differ- ent times their accounts agree in nearly every particular. Maclean, the first to reach the scene, conducted an expedition into the inte- rior i 1839 and was stopped by these falls reached them under guidance of an Aroquois Indian who had spent most of his hfe in Labrador. The native Indians give the fulls a wide berth, owing to a tradition long current among them’ that they are haunted by evil spirits and that no man can look upon them and live, Above the falls the river is said to be 500 pm broad, contracting to fifty yards at the ls themselves. If this account be true. then THE ASSAULT ON HUGHES. Wm. Clark, the Negro, Held for the Gran@ Jury. ‘The case of Wm. Clark, the negro charged with assaulting James Hughes by striking him on the head with a brick, as pablished in Tue Srar at the time, was tried in the Police Court this afternoon. The assault charged occurred near 6th and G streets southeast about IL o'clock one night while he was on his way home. Lawyer Carrington defended the prisoner. Hughes said he had been drinking in Tare ner’s saloon and was on his wey home when be was assaulted. When questioned by Mr. Care rington witness said he had drank two Whiskies and five beers, but be was not intoxi- cated. Witness said be was walking slong the street singing. when the prisoner told him to “button his lip.” One man «truck his fist and the prisoner struck him on the head with a brick orsome other hard instras ment. ‘Thos.

A Delegation of Colored Men Present Charges to the District Commissioners. A delegation of colored persons from Soutl, Washington called upon the Commissioners this afternoon and presented charges againet Police man Hendricks, whom they characterized as@ bratal officer, wholly unfit for the position of guardian of the peace. Daniel Stillyard stated the objects of the He eaid that since last fall there had been considerable unnecessary and brutal beating of men by Oficer Hendricks, He said that until recently the people had remained passive, but now they proposed to do all im their power to correct the evil . ©. Cox followed in the same line, Concluding bis remarks, he said We appeal to you for’ protection, preferring to take the proper course first. If'the evil is not remedied there will be some killing in the 2ist district. We will p ct ourselves at cost, and I want to way right here that if thers is a’ colored man killed down there, there will ben white man killedalso. ‘The commisson-rs grdered the reference of the charges to Major ore. The delegation was composed of Messrs. W. ©. Cox, Daniel Stillyard. Lucas, Andrew Clark, Jas. E. Proctor, W. De Cook, K. G. Contee, H. Albert and B. Wilson. —— ‘Trial Day at Police Headquarters.

Niagara's volume of water is far greater, but its height ie only 164 feet. The famous falls of Zambesi are but 100 feet. In the Yosemite valley there is a fall of 2,550 feet, but this is broken into three leaps, and the volume of water is not equal to that of the Grand Falls of Labrador. Thus, taking into account the combination of height and volume, these Grand Fells of Labrador throw all others into the shade. A fall of 2.000 fect has generaliy been, re- garded as utterly inconceivable, however ‘and Various efforts have been made to verity the reports of Maclean and Kennedy. In. 1887 Randle F. Holme of Oxford University made an effort to reach the falls, but his provisions gave dut when he supposed himself within fifty miles of his journey's end and he was ab- solutely forced to go back. r. Bryant hos carefully studied the situa- tion and has made his preparations with co much care that his sacces regarded as as- sured. He sailed from New York June 23 and reached St. John's two days later. All his sup- Plies were purchased there and his final at- Yangements completed, and today he sails for Battle Harbor on the Strait of Belle Isle. An- other steamer will take him to Rigolet, a post of the Hudson Bay Company, in Hamilton in- let, from where a two days’ sail will Jand him at Northwest, from where he will begin his last journey of 300 miles up the Grand river. Besides himself and Prof. Keniston Mr. Bry: ant hopes to take about cight Indians end white man for guide, if he ean get one. The journey.up the river ‘will be made in canoes, Wiiich must be carried around the many rapids and falls, It is estimated that the trip of 300 miles each way can be made in about six weeks and on that estimate Mr. Bryant will get back to Northwest about the middle of September and to Philadelphia about October 1. His idea is, however, to come back by a different route if practicable. in a letter to his mother and brothers in this city Mr. Bryant speaks very hopefully of his trip. The French priest, a’ very. intelligent man who makes pilgri through Labrador, estimates the height of the falls at about 1,000 feet. Mr. Bryant, the head and front of the ex- Pedition, is a’ graduate of Princeton College, and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1886. He has not practiced’ much, however, devoting most of his time to travel ‘and scien tific studies. His present venture is under- taken solely on his own responsibility to settle the long-disputed question of the height of great falls, und, if successful, will make him famous in the world of science and travel. He has « wide field before him, as few portions of Labrador beyond the coast’ have ever been visited by white men, and only the barest out- line of its geography is known.
