The weather was not just exactly whai the ladies wanted, but it did not deter them from attending nor did it keep the “boys” away.

The ladies were so very covetous of the attention shown by the “vets” that they had a register for all of them to sign. Many of the old nurses have national reputa- tions. Dr. Susan Edson, who was on hand early, held, as usual, a big reception. There is no doubt about her work in the war. Miss E. 8.

Venezuela Sends a Big Yacht in Her Pur- uit. The first starter in an ocean race in which the sand perhaps the lives of the racers’ crew, slipped out by Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock last night, says the New York Herald today. It was the steamship South Portland, reputed to be destined to take aid and arms to the cause of the Venezuelan insurgents and which has been detained at this port for eome days at the instance of the Venezuelan govern- ment. She had received clearance papers and started away for the routhern republic. According to the information obtained by the Herald a second vessel, swift and fully armed, will start in pursuit of, the South Port- land. " ‘The second starter will be under orders from the Venezuelan government to over take and capture, by force of arms if necessary, the steamship said to be bound to the insur gents’ assistance if the latter attempts to land any munitions of war. ‘The Venezuelan government bas in fact char- tered a 1,000-ton steamer in New York city, will equip her with two guns and plenty of small arms, and will place her in commission as o Venezuelan man-of-war.

Coxvunvs, Onto, Sept. 20, 1892, The new system of congressional districts in this state established by the legislature last winter will bring some new faces into the Ohio delegation in the national House of Represent- atives, Only four familiar faces will be seen there probably on the republican side. These will be Congresamen Storer and Caldwell of the first and second districts, who have been nominated, and ex-Congressmen Enochs and Grosvenor, who are candidates in the tenth aad eleventh districts, respectively. ‘The democrats have nominated again Con- gressmen Layton, Donivan, Pattison, Ganz, Dungan, Outhwaite, Hare, Harter and Pearson, bat of theee only Layton, Donivan, Outhwaite and Hare are likely to be elected, 80 that only eight members of the Ohio delegation in the lower branch of the Fifty-third Congress, as it now seems likely to be constituted will be men who are now known in Washington. One other, however, while a stranger to most people at Washington’now, will bring with him the benefit and advantage of a long career in congressional work. Ex-Gov. James H. Ashley of Toledo in referred to. He was nominated by the republicans of the ninth district about Lo'clock last Friday ‘morning after a deadiock that lasted nearly three days. Mr. Ashley was first elected to Congress in 1858, serving in the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, 'Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Cor At the ond of his last term in Congress he was appointed by President Grant governor of the territory of Idaho. Since leaving the latter office he has had little to do with politics, devot- ing his time to railway business, and is now president of a Michigan railway company and quite rich, In his congrossional career some of his colleagues were the late Senator George H. Pendleton, the late Gov. Wm. Allen, “Tom" Corwin, Senator Sherman, “Sunset” Cox, Clement I. Vallandigham, Samuel Shella- barger. now practicing law in Washington, D. C.; Gen. Robert C. Schenck, the late President Garfield, ex-President Hayes afd Columbus Delano. The congressional nominations in this state are almost completed, the few remaining vacan- cies existing in districts that have overwhelming pluralities, so that little interest centers in the nominations yet to be made. ‘The democrats have nominated Robert Bowler against Bellamy Storer in the first dis- trict and Charles T. Greve against John A. Caldwell in the second, but as tho first named has a republican plurality of 3,063 against him and the second a republican plurality of 2,629, they have already secured about all they will get out of the nominations. ‘The republicans have nominated C.C. Douley of Henlo in the third district, but as it has a democratic plurality of 3,439 he is certain to be defeated. The democrats have made no nomi- nation yot, but it is understood that Congress man George W. Houk will, be the nominee. If 80 his will be one more familiar face in tho Obio delegation in the next Congress. C. Layton is certain to find his way back to Congress, coming from the new fourth district. The republicans have nominated against hi C. 8, Monk. a popular gentleman of Rockford, but as Mr. Layton’s plurality is 6,160 he doubt less feels quite sure of re-election. Congressman D. D. Donivan is nominated by the democrats of the new fifth district and will, no doubt, be able to defeat his opponent,George 8. Grifith of Columbus Grove, as ho hasa democratic plurality in his district’ of 3,072. Congressman J. M. Pattison is certain to be retired. His republican opponent, J. W. Hu- jatavia, in the sixth district, has a plu- rality in his favor of 3,518, Congressman Gantz ig His opponeat, George W. Wilson, has a repub- lican plurality on his side of 2,399. In the new eighth district both parties have presented new men as candidates for Congress. M. Strong of Kenton is the republican candi- to, and Fremont Arford of Findlay the dem- Strong has a plurality of 4,735 in his d, of course, is likely to be elected. The democrats have as yet nominated no candidate against ex-Gov. Ashley in the ainth district. The republican plurality in that dis- i@1,769—rather small, considering that ict contains a, large city and the usual ting vote. ‘x-Congressman W. I. Enochs is pitted against Congressman Irvine Dungan in the new eleventh district. Enochs has a republican plurality of 3,441, and will undoubtediy be chosen, ‘The grizzled old veteran politician, Gen. C. H. Grosvenor, has for his opponent in the elev- enth district a new man in Ohio politics—C. E. Peebles of Pomeroy. Gen. Grosvenor has a republican plurality on his side of 2,835, and will, of course, be sent back to Congress, ‘The republicans have not nominated a candi- date against Congressman Outhwaite of this district—the new twelfth—yet, and probably ill not. Mr. Outhwaite hasa district now that is democratic by 2,514. His election is beyond question. Congressman D. D. Hare has been nominated in the new thirteenth district and should easily defent his republican opponent, L. W. Hull of Upper Sanduky, as he has a democratic plu- i 256. republicans are ill at ease regarding the fourteenth district, where E. G. John Elysia has been nominated by the republic aguinst Congressman Harter. Johnson has a republican plurality to aid him of only 1,692, and the Foruker-Sherman fight broke out there in the congressional convention, leaving the party organization in bad condition. Harter 1s ‘a hustler, and his strong opposition to free ril- ver in the last wossion of Congress has mado him popular with the business interests of his district, which are considerable. It is one of the doubtfal districts, but, of course, Johnson has the advantage. No nomination has been made by the demo- crate against H. C. Van Voorhis, a new man jicked up by the republicans in the new fif- Tioats district. Van Voorhis has a republican plurality of 2,523 in his favor, and his election may be counted upon. he sixteenth is another of the republican districts abont which there is some doubt. Con- greseman Pearson is a democratic candidate ud Col. C.L.Poorman, the present secretary of state, is the republican'nominee, The republi- cans have a plurality in their favor of 1,324,but it is feared the labor troubles in Pennsylvania, just across the river, will cause a defection among the ironworkers, who have heretofore voted the republican ticket. \e new seventeenth district is one of those the democrats are sure to carry. It has a democratic plurality of 4,793. James D. Kich- ards of New Ehiladelphia is the | democratic candidate, and Arthur Hl. Walkey of Orville the republican. In the eighteenth district— Governor McKin- ley’s—Thomas R. Morgan is the republican | ndidate and Dr. George P. Ikert of East Liverpool the democratic. There is some talk about the democrats being able to carry this district on acconut of the alleged unpopularity of Mr. Morgan, but the republican plurality is 2,266 and it can hardly be classed ns donbiful, If any congressional candidate in Ohio feels sure of election it should be S. A. Northway of Jefferson, the republican nominee in the new nineteenth district. He has a plurality in_ his favor of 9,039. His opponent is Dr. H. A. Tid- ball of Garrettaville, ‘The democrats have not yet nominated in the twentieth and twenty-first districts, Mh the former W. J. White, ths miilionairo chewing gum manufacturer, has been nominated by the republicans, and in the second, O. J. Hodge, ex-speaker of the Ohio house of representatives, White knw plurality of 2.634 in bis favor and Hodge 1,551. Democrats claim the latter as doubtful, ‘The state was “gerrymandered” to olect fif- teen republicans and six democrats and it looks now as though it would give that re-ult.

This is about the republican majority in the state. Thore was RARE POLIT AL ENTHUSIASM. IT SEEMS TO BE DECLINING. Virginia Worked Up as It Has Seldom Been | Apparent Decrease of the Third Party in Before. padence of The Evening Star. Ricusfoxn, Va., Sept. 21, 1892. {climax of the political canvass in Virginia has deen reached. Interest over the great con- test has continued to increase until the entire state has been aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm rarely witnessed betore. Anything like a safe prediction as to the re- sult this fall is as impossible now as it was two months ago. The coming of Gen. A E. Stevenson and Gen. Weaver to the state are the events that are awaited with eager expectancy by all. Gen. Stevenson will reach this city on the night of the 294, and it is expected that he will speak both on that night and the following day. Congressman Isador Raysier of Baltimore will also come here on the 28d and speak on the samo occasion. On the 1st of October Gen. Weaver will visit this city and will make several speeches in the state in the interest of the third party. He will be accompanied by Mrs, Lease, who will aleo speal ‘The republicans have made no effort to enlighten the voters in the way of stump ing and Gen. Mahone seems to be apathetic ‘as to the canvass. His recent circular calling upon his men not to make nominations for ‘ongress is the only word he hae publicly uttered during the canvass. Tho third party leaders express themselves hopeful of success at the and are deny- ing the statements that the third party sonti- ment is on the wane. THIRD PARTY PLANS. Mr. C. H. Pierson, the editor of the Virginia Sun, the third party organ, and one of the leaders of that party in this state, when sen by ‘Tur Stan correspondent and questioned as to the plans and prospects of the third partyites, said: ‘The plan of the people's party of Virginia is to run a candidate in every district and main- tain an organization intact. We have no idea of fusing with the republicans or any other party. Onr motto is to_keop in the middle of the road and turn ont for noone. We have candidates nominated in seven out of the ten congressional districts in the state and the other three will be named next week. We have good prospects of electing at least five of them. When asked as to the presidential candidate ho said: ‘The electoral ticket will poll a large vote, but we cannot hope to carry the state un- less the democrats, a ing of carrying her for Cleveland, throw their strength for the people's party. The reports received from all sections of the state indicate that the people’ party is rapidly growing and we have every en- couragement to carry out the program’ laid down.” WHAT THE ALLIANCE 18 DOIxa, Maj. Mann Page, the state alliance president, was asked what the alliance organizations were doing now that the state body had resolved it- self into a third party organization. He said: “The Farmers’ Alliance organiza- tion is steadily adhering to its principles, but has been seriously broken in upon by the’ mis- Tepresentation and attacks of the Wall street democracy. Inmin daily receipt of letters complaining about the alliance having become 4 political party, and Lum kept busy correct- ing those false impressions. ‘The Farmers’ Al- liance belongs to no political party, ite mem- bers being free to vote a; they choose. ‘This is aright guaranteed by the constitution, which cannot be infringed upon by any state ‘or na- tional officer ruling to the contrary. All disti- culties of the harmonious working of the alli- ance would be removed if tho partisan press would not persistently endeavor to impress upon the minds of the public that the alliance and the people’s party are one and the same -under the title of tho third party.” THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. Major J. Taylor Ellyson, ex-state chairman of the democratic paaty and nowamember of the executive committes, was eon by Tur Sran’s correspondent and asked for bis views on the democratic outlook. “The situation in Virginia,” said the major, “is everyway en- couraging to the democracy of the state. We will certainly elect eight out of tho ten Con- gressmen and it is not at all improbable that we will have the good fortune of two years ago, to senda solid democratic delegation to Washington. Ihave been in evory section of the state in the last six weeks and I tind our democratic people thoroughly united and full of hope.” JUDGE WADDILL'S VIEWS, All of the republican leadersin the state have maintained a mute attitude as to their plans and prospects during the present campaign. ‘Tux Stan representative, however, succeeded in securing the opinion of Judge Edmund Wad- dill of the republican state executive committee on the situation. When questioned, after some hesitation he said: “There is not much for us to say, as the third partyites and democrats aro waging the fight. The republicans have made congressional nominations in only one district, and as far as I can form an idea the general line of policy is not to make nominations. I think it probable, however, that this courso may be departed from in the second and fourth d tricts, although it isn’t certain that even in these two anything will be done. There was considerable difference of opinion for a long time as to the propriety of securing candidates for Congress, but it seems now that the concen- sus of opinion is not to run many can- didates for Congress, and I think with the exception of the three mentioned none will be nominated. I can’t seo any good reason why several of the third party candidates should not be elected from the present indica- cations. It seems to me that the election of Orris A. Browne, the third party candi the first district, with uo republican in the field, is assured, and the same is equally true in this, the third district, if anything like a fair election can be had.’ This, I think, is Mr. Grant's only trouble, with no republican op- ponent. Itdooks to me safe to assume that the third party will elect at least half of the Con- gressmen in Virginia.” When askod about the fusion his party and the third partyites Judge Waddill said: “Thus far there tas been no regular re- publican plan of campaign marked out, but I think it can be safely presumed that between the third party and democratic nominees the republicans will pretty solidly support the former. “Many or most of the republicans in Vir- ginia feel that the question in which they have the greatest interest is that of securing an honest election, and the third party having de- clared their purpose to repeal the existing elec- tion laws in the state and to advocate laws that will assure frecdom in elections will secure for them the support largely of the republicans. And besides this it is natural that the repub- jican party will suprort an independent party | in preference to their ancient opponent. “As to the electoral ticket, the republicans are all going to vote for Harrison for President, which means that he will carry the state unless some unforeseen accident occurs. In 1888. the state was returned for Cleveland by only about 1,500 votes and in that election, owing to a split in the fourth congressional district, the repub- licans were not given as much as a half of their usual majority. The republicans in that dis- trict have about 8,000 majority, which would have given ‘him - the state by some three or four thourand; and this without taking in account ¥ irregularity elsewhere, notably in the eecond and third districts, In these districts alone I know Mr. Harrison lost about 1,000 votes that | he was entitled to. Isaw with my own eves some 800 men staading ina line in this city vainly trying to vote for him. “Upon this showing it would look as if the re- ublicans are not exactly wild in supposing that Kir. iinerison will carry tho state. “You will observe that Iam not taking into account any losses the democrats may sustain from the third party movement. ‘There is a revailing impression here that Weaver and Fietd are going A.set tome votes. anid T think the repul stand this fight if the dem- erate can."* ‘The nominations referred to by Judge Wad- dill in the second and fourth districts will very probably be ex-C n Bardden and Gen. hone, respectively. The nominee in the ninth district is Maj. H. C. Wood. Col. W. C. P.

This was denied and then it was stated that the doc- tor would vote for Exum, the third party nom- inee. The question now arises, how much of a fol- lowing hus Dr. Mott? Of ‘course his astual fol- lowers will do as be docs. But while some weeks ago he had many it now appears to your ndent that he has very few,-and ence what some persons might teria a split in the mublican party really amounts to very little. organ of the Mott faction is the Signal, ublished here.

At the state convention there were 178 delegates who favored a state ticket and twenty who op it. The latter were run over rough shod. The Mott-Harris faction was lit- erally crushed. No matter how bitter the feel- ing the beagen faction comes back to the ranks again. And therein lies the strength of the party. In the course of a special interview with Mr. C. M.

They put up their own tickets. We know we have a fight ahead. Two things we must do in the east—get our votes in tho boxes and get them counted, and we must have the help of the third party to do this. The que=- tion with us is, will they stick? republican campaign opens about the 20th instant. We | really do not expect money from the national committee. ‘There are republicans enough here | to make contributions.” A rumor has been published that Dr Exum, the third party's nominee for governor, would withdraw. ‘The specific statement was that ina speech ho said any one could have his place for $1,000. ‘Tux Stan's correspondent asked Mr. Denmark of the Progressive Farmer, the third party organ, regarding the matter. He raid that Dr. Exum had stated that there was no | truth in the rumor, He declares that Exum will stick and that bis election is certain, also that it is equally sure that Harrison will not get the electorial vote of this state, but that Weaver will, It is stated that in tho appointment of poll- holders, registrars of election, &c., the third party is ignored. The county commissioners say they recognize only two political parties, the republican and the democratic. A THIRD PARTY VIEW OF THE CONVENTION. The third party organ sa he people's party has been accused of being an annex to the republican party in the state. This is a mis- take. ‘The Eaves blowout in this city last week is the real democratic annex, howover. Tho democrats quietly but effectively got in their work and induced Eaves and a few assc to put out astate ticket, just as we predicted last week. The best men in the republican party opposed the move to the last. ‘The whole thing is run in the interest of the democr: and is aside show to the party. Repubi support that ticket will just simply be aiding the democratic party, for there is no chance for the republicans to elect their ticket owing to the state ele: m laws. E. A. Moye has doctined the third party's nomination for Congress in the first district, The executive committee of that district is ac~ cordingly cal 20 to put another candidate ix i the field. EA ‘Thorne, the third party's congressional nom- inee in the second district, has as yet mado no speeches, and there are fresh rumors that he will make no cany: Many third party men are wavering. The ro- | publican party's contempt for them was shown at the state convention.

Ex-Senator McConnell Says That Idaho Can Be Safely Counted for Harrison, Correspondence of The Evening S Moscow, Ipano, Sept. 17, 1892. Ex-Senator W. J. McConnell of Idaho, who was succeeded in the Senate by Senator Fred T. Dubois, is confident that Idaho will cast her vote for Harrison. The Senator will stamp the state and will make a thorough canvass. In speaking of the situation in Idaho he said: “Idaho can be safely counted for Harrison in November for the reason that ail parties con- sider his administration to have been both able and pure, and while his views on the silver are not in karmony with that of the majority of the people of the state. yet he is more nearly in accor@ with our interest than is Mr. Cleve- lend. “Under the circumstances, as every intelligent citizen must that & vote cast for Weaver is indirectly a vote for Cleveland, the Idaho jcople recognize the fact that their only safety lies in supporting the republ ‘The force bill will play no part in the Idaho cam- paign.

Acclose and impartial survey of the political situation here justifies the prediction that there will be no election by the people, as the two great parties are so evenly divided that the Presence of tho people's party and prohibition candidates renders it more than probable that the election will be left to the legislature. Con- gressman McKinney, the democratic candidate, will make a personal canvass. Mr. Smith, the republican nominee, is a manufacturer, and, as he is but little given to public speaking, will take no active part in the campaign.

From the London Times. An extraordinary tale of witchcraft and mur- der is brbught from Southern India by the last mail. One Pamben, a village headman in the Neilgherries, and three others are chargod with the murder of a Toda tamed Petbolee, whom they accused of being a sorcerer able to bewitch Ladagas, the tribe to which they belong. As told in the Madras Mail, their grounds for be- lieving that Petbolee was practicing witchcraft were. first, the death of a girl, who was a near relative of the headman, in the middle of last year. A charge of witchcraft was made against Petbolee then, but nothing came of it. Soon afterward a little boy, the son of one of the accused and a grandson of another. became dangerously ill, illness was attributed to the malign influence and incantations of Pet dolce, and he was told that if the child dia not recover he would have to pay the penalty. Pet- bolee protesied his innocence of having be- itched the child and his inability to curo him. This was on July 20 and the came day the child died. The following day the three accused went to Petbolee and told him that the hendman wished to sce him. That evening, it is alleged, they fell on him and belabored him with clubs. breaking his jaw, smarhing his teeth and in- flicting severe wounds on his neck. Petbolee died in consequence. ‘Then they removed bis body to the road held in superstitions awe by the Badaga and therefore reckoned a counterpoiee to the Ku rumber sorcerers.

Frm the Chicavo Inter-Ocean. At the last conference of the American Tie brary Association Miss M.S. utter road an interesting paper on the earnings of women librarians. Her examination of the question led her to conclude that “a woman occupying a subordinate position ina Wbrary, where faith- fulness, accuracy and a fair knowledge of books are the only essentials, can expect from £900 to £500. A good cataloguer, or « librarian with average ability and training, ean expect to re- ceive from £600 to $900. A woman with good natural ability and fitness for the work, with @ liberal education and special training, can e pect $1,000 at the head of a library, or of a de- partment ina large library, with a’ possible in- crease to $1,500 or €2,000.

She next imagined that «hs was running home that che met a funeral and from the coffin blood flowed upon the Ground. ‘The bearers placed it at her feet, opened the lid aad exhibited ber hueband, mur- dered and his heart torn out.
