Text of Ex-Speaker Reed’s Remarks at Boston. The third annual dinner of the Republi- can Club of Massachusetts was held in Music Hall, Boston, last evening. The first appearance of ex-Speaker Reed in New England during the campaign and the announcement that Congressman Dalzell of Pennsylvania, was to speak, and also that all the prominent republican state candi- dates were to be present, drew the largest crowd the-club has had at a dinner. Nearly 900 plates were laid. Soon after 7 o'clock Chairman Simpkins opened the speaking with the sentiment: “Massachusetts republicans are in ear- nest. Earnestness means _ succes: He presented as the first speaker Candidate Greenhalge. Mr. Greenhalge spoke of the campaign, which, he said, had been con- ducted in a manner worthy the common- wealth. He said: “I have attempted to rise above any mere spirit of the jockey, of the gambling sa- loon, and to carry on this battle in the spir- it of Harvard, fair, manly, true, and above trick or device.’ Mr. Greemhalge spoke. fifteen minutes and was loudly applauded. The next speaker was Roger Wolcott, candidate for lieutenant governor. He was followed by Congressman Dalzell. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. Reed. He received an ovation, and spoke substantially as follows: “It is my purpose to make not a partisan speech, but an unbiased address, and, to start right, I commence with a citation from the only unbiased newspaper I know of the headline, ‘President Victorious.’ Over what? The democratic party. “Let us give the President credit for his firmness, but there lies at the foundation of our government system no worship of man, but an honest belief in the intelligence and good sense of the people. The members cf the majority party determined there shouid be a disgraceful compromise. “When the men who arranged it came to the republican side they found us a solid rock, backed by the universal judgment of the people, and after that came the demo- lition of the compromise. Stronger than all of us stand the people, and so I trust it will always be. “For the first time in the history of this land, the Senate is the subject of flouts and jeers of ali mankind. Is that a situation of things which the American people can af- ford to have? “It is not true that the people are the rulers only on election day. There is never a time when their magnificent power can- not reach out to a President against~a re- bellious Senate, or to teach a party in pow- er that its days of power are numbered unless the edicts of the people are obeyed. —_—__+e-+-—. ONLY A WATCH. But Its Manufacture Requires the Ex- ercise of Grent Skill. From the Locomotive Engineer. Open your watch and look at the little wheels, springs and screws, each an indis- pensable part of the whole wonderful ma- chine. Notice the busy little balance wheel as it flies to and fro unceasingly, day and night, year in and year out. This wonder- ful little machine is the result of hundreds of years of study and experiment. The watch carried by the average man is com- posed of ninety-eight pieces and its manu- facture embraces more than two thousand distinct and separate operations. Some of the smallest screws are 80 minute that the unaided eye cannot dis- tinguish them from steel filings or specks of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying glass a perfect screw is revealed. The slit in the head is 2-1,000 of an inch wide. It takes 308,00 of these screws to weigh a pound and a pound is worth $1.58. The hairspring | is a strip of the finest steel, about 9 1-2 inches long and 1-100 inch wide and 27-10,000 inch thick. It is coiled up in spiral form and finely tempered. ‘The process of tempering these springs was long held a secret by the few for- tunate ones possessiug it, and even now is not generally known. Their manufacture requires great skill and care. The strip is & to 20-1,000 of an inch, but no meas- uring instrument has yet been devised ca- pable of fine enough gauging to determine beforehand by the siz2 of the strip what the strength of the finished spring will he. A_1-20,000 part of an inch difference in thickness of the strip makes a difference in the running of the watch of about six minutes per hour. The value of these springs when finished and placed in watches fs enormous in pro- portion to the erial from which they are made. A comparison will give a good idea. A ton of steel made up into hair springs when in watches is worth more than twelve and one-half times the value of the same weight in gold. Hair spring wire weighs one-twentleth of a grain to the inch, -One mile of wire weighs less than half a pound. The balance gives five vibrations every second, 309 every minute, 18,000 every hour. 432,000 every day and 157,680,000 a year. which makes 137,100,099 every year. In order thnt—we may better understand the stupendous amount of Ithor performed by those tiny works let us make a few comparisons. Take, for instance, a locomotive with six- foot driving wheels. Let its wheels be run until they have given the same number of revolutions that a watch does in one year and they will have covered a distance equal to twenty-eight complete circuits of the earth. All this a watch does without other attention than winding once every twenty- four hours. oo ____ The Georgia legislature met yesterday at ae Ga. It will remain in session fifty ys. BURNED IN A WRECK. Three Lives Lost in a Railway Disaster. WAR ON THE PRUE FIGHTING CLUBS. Suicide Caused by Despair Over Reverses, MACHIAS LEAVES NEW YORK. TRAGEDY OF A TENEMEN'r. Shooting Affray Followed by a Des+ pernte Suicide. BOSTON, Oct. 26.—In an attic tenement on Billerica street last night a shooting af- fray occurred which resulted in the death of one man and the wounding of two others. The tenement is occupied by John Glass and family, Glass and a man named Simon Martelson have been interested in some real estate matter with Louis Warsofsky, a Russian, Warsofsky, who, it is said, had been drinking, went to the Glass tenement last night and was dozing on a lounge when Glass and Martelson arrived. Some talk ensued about property matters, when War- sofsky suddenly jumped up, drew a revol- ver and commenced firing wildly about the recm. Glass received a bullet in the right wrist and Martelson was shot in the neck. Warsofsky then shot himself in the left breast and jumped through a window sash wares four stories to the pavement be- neath. When found he was dead. In one of his pockets Was found a letter directed to Glass in which Warsofsky spoke of his business troubles and said that he had de- cided to end his life. He wrote affection- ately of his mother and asked that certain of his effects be sent to 189 Monroe street, New York, where it is supposed his mother resides.

Gov. Matthews of Indi a Determined in Hin Opposition. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct.’ 26.—Gov. Matthews has recefyed a communication from Fishers Station, where the brutal ‘Evans-Johnson’ fight took placé yesterday morning, asking {f prosecution was pos- sible. The governor replied that it was and urged the owners to carry the affair into the courts. The governor having been notified that a new athletic club was organizing in north- ern Indiana has requested the secretary of state not to incorporate it until it could be learned if the state can refuse legal life to such an organization. The question will have to be determined in the courts.

Mitchell Wants a Contest With a Limited Number of Spectators. A meeting which was to be held yester- day in New York between Charles Mitch- ell, champion heavy-weight boxer of Eng- land, and William A. Brady, James J. Cor- bett’s manager, was postponed owing to the sudden fliness of Mrs. Brady. Mitchell has agreed to wait several days miore. In an interview with a United Press re- resentative Mitchell said he felt satisfied that if the fight could not take place in the state of New York it could not in any other state; that his object in coming to this country was to fight Corbett, and he has now reduced his weight from 297 to 194 pounds, although he has not yet gone into what might be called active training. Mit- chell is in fairly good shape, although he has done no training further than to run from fifteen to twenty miles a day. In a conversation with a few friends Mit- chell said: “About the only plausible proposition that I can make to Mr. Brady and Mr. Cor- | bett, providing no purses are in sight, is that we fight for the stake of $10,000 a side, | winner to take all, each side to have from | five to ten men:” | It is very probable that the Olympic Club of New Orleans will make some effort to get the Corbett-Mitchell battle should the two men decide to cintest in that city. The contest committee of the club met last night in their club rooris for the purpose of studying the exact situation. The review of the matter Is that 200,000 out of 250,000 in |that city are anxious to have the fight j take place there, but should they find too strong an opposition they probably will jleave the contest’ alone. The committee that discussed the matter thoroughly be. | lieve that the public opinion will not at- | tempt to stop the battle. Both of the men have expressed to, the club that if New York will not furhish the battle ground the New Orleans club will have the | battle, The club will not offer a large purse for the men, but will make a bid of | about $20,000. None of the members of the committee would speak on the proposed plans, but they acknowledge that they will | pull the international contest off with the | aid of the police. | The proposed fight before the Coney Is- {land Athletic Club in December has been | officially declared off. Judge R. V. Newton, who succeeded in signing both Mitchell and | Corbett, met the former last night and in- | formed him that the authorities of Kings | county had notified the club officials that ; the fight could not take place at Coney Island. He added that the club wouid re- compense him and Corbett for the time lost in training. Mitchell was greatly disap- pointed over the failure of the club to pull the fight off, and he intends to start for | England in a few days. ee A Busy Seribe.

A Majority of Nine Counted on in the Senate. How the Vote is Divided Among Polit- ieal Parties—Senators Who Are Ab- sent—How Individuals Will Vote. There has not becn a time before now during the fight on the silver question in the Senate when one could, with any cer- tainty, make an estimate of the final vote or and against repeal. By this time, how- ever, the Senators have taken public atti- tude on one side or the other, and a cal- culation as to how they will line up on the last struggle may be made with safety. Should there be no defections from either side the majority for repeal on the straight question will be about nine. It may be eight or ten, yet nine is the figure that is generally accepted. Counting all Senators, the repeal vote is made up of twenty-two democrats and twenty-five republicans, while the negative strength will be com- posed of twenty-two democrats, thirteen republicans and three populists, making forty-seven for repeal and thirty-eight against. But this list includes several ab- sentees, seven in all, and so the final vote | ts not likely to be quite so large. Of these, five are for repeal, namely, Senators Alli- son, Chandler, Hale, Morrill and Wilson, and two are pronounced silver men, Mitchell of Oregon and White of California. Pre- suming that the silver absentees will be paired with two repeal Senators not in their seats—though this is not certain—there will be but five votes to be taken from the total j ralpepaia al a8 amateot 8 t tally should The following-named Senators are booked for votes for Democrats, Brice, Caffery, Camden, Faulkner, Gibson, Gor- don, Gorman, Gray, Hill, Hunton, Lind- say, McPherson, Mills, Mitchell (Wis.), Mur- phy. Palmer, Ransom, Smith, Turpie, Vilas, oorhees, White (La.)—22. Republicans, Aldrich, Allison, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dixon, Dolph, Frye, Gallinger, Hale, Hawtey, Higgins, Hoar, Lodge, McMillan, Sanderson, Morrill, Platt, Proctor, Quay, Sherman, Stockbridge, Washburn and Wilson—25. The silver strength is thus classified: Democrats, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Butler, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Daniel, George, Harris, Irby, Jones (Ark.), Martin, Morgan, Pasco, Pugh, Roach, Vance, Vest, Walthall, White (Cal.)—22. Republicans, Cameron, Dubois, Hans- | brough, Jones (Nev.),Mitchell (Ore.),Perkins, | Pettigrew, Power, Shoup, Squire, Stewart, Teller and Wolcott—13. Populists, Allen, Kyle and Peffer—3. Though Senator Berry is properly classi- fied here as a silver man, in accordance with his expressed views, it is likely that he will be found on the repeal side on the final vote. He is the only uncertain element. ————_—+ 0+ ______. GEORGETOWN AGAIN WINS. But the Y .M. C. A. Team Put Up a Good Game. The best foot ball game of the season was played yesterday afternoon at National | Park between the Y. M. C. A. and George- | town College. It was the second game | between these two rivals this fall, and, as jwas the case with the first, victory perched | ightly upon the banners of the college boys. | This game, however, was much closer and more exciting than the first, and the score by’ sharp the battle was. Details of the Game. The Georgetown team was rather weak in defensive work, and the presence of sev-" eral subs on the team did not improve mat- ters. There were five of the regular eleven absent, and the substitutes did not add any strength. The Y. M. C. A. bucked the center repeatedly with great success, and for a time had the collegians on the run. The Y. M. C. A. lacked team work, but in individual plays showed to better advan- tage than their rivals. Harder played a| fine quarter back for the Christians, and his work was the feature of the game. Just before play stopped on account of dark ness Harder was injured and forced to with- draw. Hooker took his place. The first scoring was done by Georgetown. After some sharp playing Carmody gained five yards on a double pass, and Comer- | ford followed with a similar gain. Craig then carried the ball over the line for a touch down, and Carmody kicked goal. On the line up Johnson gained ten yards on) the flying wedge. Davidson fumbled, but | Y. M. C. A. still held the ball. Repeated | buckings of the Georgetown center advanc- ed the play to within fifteen yards of | Georgetown’s goal and Harder carried the | ball over for a touch down. Leet failed to kick goal. In the second half there was a general improvement in the tackling of both teams. | The first had closed with the score 16 to 4 in favor of Georgetown, but in the second | Leet made a touch down for the Y. M. C.| A.’s, bringing their end up to 8. The score stood at 16 to 8, with the ball in Y. M. C. | A. territory, when the game was called on | account of darkness. | The Two Teams. The two teams were as follow: Georgetown. E. Mahoney.. O’Brien. . Rainier. Umpire—Mr. Cat- ns: Georgetown—Craig, 1; Carmody, 1; Murphy, 1. Y. M. C. A.—Leet, 2. Goals kicked—Carmody, 2.

Arrangements are now being made for a sparring exhibition at the Columbia Athletic Club next Saturday evening that promises to be one of the best exhibitions of the | Sort ever given at the club. The several | classes will be filled from among the best | boxers in New York and Wilmington, Del. |The Warren Athletic Club, of the latter | j city, is now trying several men in each | class with the view of sending down the | best to meet the entries from New York. | |The latter are as follows: Michael Mads | den, 115 pounds; Jerome Gerian, 120 pounds; | Wm. Baldock and John Ford, 125 pounds, jand Wm. Healey, pounds. Joe Bate- |man, the popular C. A. C. sparrer, will | meet the best 110-pound man the Warrens can send. Admission to the exhibition will be by card. FAST TIME AT TERRE HAUTE. Despite Chilling Weather and Sou east Winds Good Records Are Made. With a chilling southeast wind and clouded skies, horsemen lost hope of seeing records | 80 down yesterday at Terre Haute. Under these unfavorable circumstances, however, | several of the trials were remarkable. This |was notably true of Manager's effort against his mark of 2:06 3-4, made last week. With Doble up, the gray pacer came with a terrific burstgof speed into the home | stretch. Doble, in plying the whip, dropped j one of the reins and had to make two ef- ; forts before recovering it. Manager kept his stride, but would, in all likelihood, have lowered his mark but for this mishap. Knowing ones declare that Stamboul’s mile in 2:09 3-4 yesterday is the best he has ever shown, the mark of 2:07 3-4 given in California last fall always having been dis- credited. The pole team, Zembia and Aubine, went a weil-rate mile in 2:13 1-2. Reina and Au- bine will go against team record on Friday. Nancy Hanks showed up well yesterday in her work-out miles, and will be sent today against her own world’s record. Greenlander, who took a lower mark yes- terday, will, on Friday, be sent against the two-mile record of 4:11 1-2, — THE COURTS, Equity Court, division 1—Chief Justice Bingham. Yesterday—Waggaman agt.

WINTER RESORT: SERSESaor ase al fa a ak at a SErEutce TLE Eee ESSSSsrre THEY MUST FREEZE. The Police Court Will Probably Get No Storm Doors. ‘When the cold weather sets in and the wintry winds play havoc about the street corners Judge Kimball anticipetes that some of the Police Court employes will have to fight against a game of “freeze | out.” Last winter's experience was enough for the judge, and before the beginning of the first fiscal year he impressed upon the officials connected with the office of Build- ing Inspector Entwisle the absolute neces- sity for the construction of storm doors. improvements needed, but the judge thought that this was ne- cessary, in order to protect the health and comfort of persofis about the court. This was one of the last things the judge men- tioned before he went away on his summer vacation, and much to his surprise when he returned he discovered that no storm doors had been put about the building. _ Then he directed to the building inspector a letter making inquiries about the matter, but no response was received, and then the judge sent a letter to the Commission- ers asking for a statement of the appro- priation. In response to this the judge re- ceived the foliowing, and today he turned it over to Deputy Clerk Harper, who will make a report upon the items stated therein: The letter from the building inspector ppropriation for repairs to Police Court building, 1893-4... a Amounts expended: Furnishing and hanging wire door, building closet, &c.

It was thought that the work covering the item charged at $244.20 was done dur- ing the last fiscal year, and could not be paid out of this year’s appropriation, but Inspector Entwisle told a Star reporter that such things were done by the engi- neer department. Most of the work, he | said, was done during the last fiscal vear, | and the job was finished so that the bil were not rendered until after July 1. All the work done, he said, was inspected, and the bills rendered were correct. From present appearances there will be no storm doors put up in time to protect the building from the cold weather this winter. —_— She Thought Paris Provincial. From the Chicago Post. An American girl who has lived in Paris declares that that great metropolis is ab- solutely provincial and countrified in many respects. Here in Chicago one may go her way undisturbed, though she wears a tub on her head, but there one has to sub- scribe to traditions. The girl in question tells how at one time she bought a pretty little felt cap, very | much like a Tam O'Shanter, in the Latin quarter. Naturally, having bought it, she put it on her head and went out. yw it seems that these particular hats were worn only by men, though the fact did not dawn upon the American girl until she! found herself with a following of smail boys,who hooted at and gibed her, and men who spoke rudely to her, and women who laughed tempestuously. It really looked as if she would have to call a closed in order to get home alive, but she sud- denly bethought her of a more speedy and economical plan. “She snatched off the of- fending cap, rolled it in her hand and went on bareheaded. At once she ceased to be an object of attention. The grisette, you see, often goes bareheaded, even when she is very nicely dressed, and so, disguised as a grisette, the “frank and free young Yan- kee maiden” got home in beautiful safety. She never donned that cap again while she remained ins Paris—never. But when she returned to her native heath she wore it complacently, and sttll wears it when the fancy seizes her, and no one looks at it twice or seems to care. Whereupon Paris seems countrified by contrast, or so she says. ——_— see Mayor Harrison id the Policeman. From the Pittsburg Times. Mayor Carte> Harrison of Chicago, boasts that he is one of the people, and so he would not go down to the fair in a carriage on Monday. He started to go by boat, but the crowd was so great he could not get on one. Then he tried to climb over a picket tence to go to the railroad train, but a policeman caught him and exclaimed: “Ah, theze, you old :skate! What are you doing | Filis Spear. on that fence? Get off or I'll run you in. “My friend,” said the mayor suav must get to the fair. I am to ring the Lib- erty Bell. Chicago day will not get on without me.” “It makes no difference. Get back or I'll run you in.” Then the mayor drew himself proudly erect, showed his gold star and said: “I am mayor of Chicago. “That's different,” said the policeman. “Put your hand on my shoulder and I'll help you over the fence.” And the mayor reached his train. ————————— FINANCIAL. ©.
