J. H. CORNING, ‘Tile Shop, 520 1Sth at. you THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTERS. Results of the Analysis of Recent Votes by Mr. Frederick C. Waite. Frederick C. Waite, the expert statisti- cian, in a lecture at the Columbian Univer- sity, Tuesday night, gave an interesting statement of the result of his study of re- cent election figures. Mr. Waite said: “Another ‘tidal wave’ of disapproval has been recorded at the polls. Let us analyze the returns in the light of sixty years of election statistics. From my statistical chart, ‘comparing the political complexion of elections for twenty years | with those of forty years previous,’ you will | see, that during the last twenty years, and j also the twenty years ending with the | breaking up of the whig party, the demo- erats carried every alternate presidential | election and yet were always defeated at the intervening presidential election. “To the democrats, 1836 and "76 brought victories at the polls; '40 and '80, defeat: "44 and 'S4, victories; “48 and ‘SS, defeat: "52 and "92, victories. Moreover you notice that during both periods the democrats carried every off congressional election ex- cept the one during the Mexican war. “A year ago in a lecture at Johns Hop- kins University, having thus pointed out in detail that the election pendulum swings the mantle of supremacy from party to party with mathematical regularity when- ever there is no great issue between the political parties, I said: “There is nothing surprising to the statistician in the Cleve- land vote. The republican farmers have not become democrats.’ This year I add, that the democrats have not voted the re- publican ticket, but have merely allowed the election to go by default. “Since the republican vote for Harrison in 1883 equaled a larger per cent of the total number of legal voters in New York than the greatest democratic vote ever poll- ed, it is fair to assume that of the voters not affiliating with the lesser parties one- half are republicans and the other half are democrats. Therefore, by subtracting from the republican half the republican vote in 1893, and from the democratic half the dem- cratic vote, we find that 190,000 republicans and 210,000 democrats did not vote, if we assume that those voting cast their own | party ticket with the exception of, say, 5,000 democrats. “To show that the republican farmers did not vote for Cleveland I analyzed the elec- tion returns, town by town, throughout the rural districts of New York, and discovered that the rural vote for Cleveland was even less in 1802 than in i888 in every agricul- tural county of the empire state. So great was the decrease, that it more than offset the Cleveland gains in New York city, Buffalo and the cities of the interior. In vas just the same. Cleveland’s vote ess in” 1892 than in ISSS in the rural townships of all the agricultural counties. The Stay-at-Home Voters. “Hence, the only reasonable conclusion is that last year the dissatisfied republican | farmers, and this year these and other dis- satisfied republicans and discontented dem- ocratic laborers by the hundreds of thou- sands, have joined the stay-at-home voters. Last year the stay-at-home vote in Penn- sylvania numbered 270,000, this year 5: Quo; in New York 200,000 last year, this year 400,000; in Virginia 75,000 last year, | this year 150,000; in Chicago 55,000 last year, this year 180,000: in Nebraska 40,000 in 1888, this year 12v,000, It is the stay-at-home party which has made such phenomenal gains, while, without an important excep- tion in any state which has had an elec- tion, there has been a decrease in the vote of the republican, democratic and all other Parties except one. “The people's party has made insignificant gains in some of the states, large gains in count of the doing away with fusion. Mary- land has not cast for the democratic state candidates such a small per cent of her full vote within 25 years. In Pennsylvania the democratic party has not polled such a small per capita vote for half a century. “The astonishing features of the recent election are the same as those of last year, when 1,000,000 republican farmers stayed 1 votes on the strength of visionary promises. Aithough many of those promises have been proven to be worthy of as little consideration as those giving utterance to them are worthy of support, yet the popu- lists have held their vote remarkably well, even in those states where they were suc- cessful last year only because of the aid of the democrats. “Census and registration statistics dis- close the fact that the states having elec- tions this year have furnished their full quota of 6,000,000 stay-at-home _ voters. They and the populists are the two potent and ever in- creasing armies of discontent. Plans are being laid to unite these forces under one banner. Their utter lack of leaders of abil- ity seems to be the only obstacle. A Prediction for 1896. “The general discontent and profound un- rest produced and reinforced by such po- tent economic forces, and combined with the possibility of a labor vote, may be expected to debar the republicans from gaining the necessary maj in the next electoral college. As 1806 is not the year on. which democratic victory will fall according to the law of political cycles already noted, the House of Re atives to be chosen in 1894 will pro! lect the next President of the United States.” ———a A number of the creditors of the Gilbert car works at Albany have already signed | the agreement by which the works will be continued in operation until such a time as they may be sold advantageously. one, and apparent losses in a few on ac-/| . while their populist brethren cast | | strikers to work for the railroad company. | Valley Railroad Company in this county. | dictment will hold them securely. LEHIGH’S BIG STRIKE. No Perceptible Change in the Gen- eral Situation. TRAINS AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS, Armed Guards Stationed on Some of the Cars. SCENES AT BUFFALO. een LoS eae BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 23.—“Trains will be moving on the Lehigh road the same as ever within three days.’ That is the pre- diction of the officials of the road this morning. They say they have already hired new men enough to man the entire road and that when they are ready to open the service again the trains will start with a rush. The strikers ridicule such statements as the above and say the road Is further away from resuming traffic than it was the morn- ing after the strike. They say there have been no desertions of any account, they are in good financial condition and can fight the road all winter and that new men will be useless when the snow begins to make railroading a difficult matter. A secret meeting of the executive commit- tee of the five organizations in the federa- tion was held last evening in room No. 11, board of trade building. It was learned from a reliable source that the result of the conference may be a tie-up on three other eastern trunk lines. The New York Central, West Shore and Erie roads will be asked to accept the Lehigh freight from western centers at Buffalo and suspension bridge. If they take the freight and at- tempt to handle it the strike will be ex- tended to those lines forthwith. It is said that was the subject under consideration and the decision reached at the meeting last evening. Superintendent Van Eaton of the New York Central has been in Buffalo for sev- eral days and yesterday Superintendent of Motive Power Buchanan joined him. This would indicate that the Central officials are making preparations to meet the trouble, should it occur. Division Superintendent Jackson of the}. railway mail peEvige has ordered the trans- fer of mails hitherto sent over the Lehigh to other roads to prevent any possible de- lay. ‘The brotherhoods’ held a meeting last night, and by a unanimous vote decided to cail out the engineers and crews of xny road which hapdied a pound of Lehigh freight. It was reported that the New| York Central had agreed to take Lehigh freight, but when this was investigated it was found to be untrue. No road in Buffalo has yet handled any Lehigh freight, and it is understood that} the Lackawanna and Central have refused to handle it. Grand Master Wilkinson telegraphed last | night to the trainmen’s headquarters at Gaiesburg, Ill, that the situation for the Strixers is improving. Freight business is completely paralyzed, and but few passea- ger trains are running. No Change at EASTON, Pa. Nov. strike situation at noon is practically the same as yesterday. The strikers have in- duced two engineers and two firemen, who came yesterday, to return home, and they have also “scooped in” a number of men who came here to get places as brakemen. | The company is most pressed for en-| gineers. Foreman Turner of the round) Easton. 23.—The Lehigh} house in South Easton reports thirty en- gineers at work. Most of the passenger trains are running with old engineeers, | though a number of new men are also to| be seen at the throttle. So far as possible | new men are put only on freight engines until they learn the road. | ‘The statement made yesterday by the’ strikers that three locomotives had been burned out is flatiy contradicted by Mr./ Turner, who pointed out two of the engines | hauling cars this morning. | The freight train which left Jersey City | last night reached here after midnight. It} lett cars here and then went on up the read. Local passenger trains are running on time, 1 The through night express from Buffalo} arrived only a little late this morning, and proceeded to New York. The express from Wilkesbarre, due at 9 a. m., was one hour late. The express from above Wilkesbarre, due at 11:11, was received on the Lehigh division from the Wyoming division only thirty minutes late. It will run that much behind schedule time into Jersey City. All passenger trains from New York are on) time. One freight train for the east left the Glendon yards this morning. This is an improved showing over yesterday. The strikers are standing firm and solid. Not a n.an has deserted. The Law in the Case. PHILADELPHIA, Noy. 23.—An act of) assembly was passed at the last session of the state legislature, called the Losche act, which provides for the settlement of the strikes in this state by arbitration. The act directs that when a strike occurs an application shall be made to the county court, and that under the direction of the court each disputant shall appoint three ar- bitrators, and the court three more, in- cluding presiding officer. This board of nine shall investigate the dispute under the direction of the court. If either dis- putant refuses to apoint arbitrators, the parties making the application shall ap- point three, and the court the remaining six of the board. A member of the Lehigh Valley grievance committee said last night that the leaders were not going to take any action under the act and that if the Lehigh Valley rail- road did there was no law to compel the Tied Up at Pottsville. POTTSVILLE, Pa., Nov. 23.—For several hours this morning the Lehigh Valley coal | branches were tied up completely. Not a whtel of any kind was turning. The offi- clals finally dispatched one passenger train under the name of “mail” train from Del- ano to Hazleton and later a mail car to Pottsville. At 10 o'clock Superintendent Blakeslee was trying to organize several Passenger crews out of his assistant offi- cials. The tie-up is the result of the meet- ing last night. Dep Sheriffs Sworn in. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 23.—Fif- ty deputy sherit’s were sworn in here this morning to protect property of the Lehigh It is understood that an attempt will be made to move freight trains today. a ed by Armed Men ELIZABETH, N. J., Nov. 23.—The first west-bound Lehigh Valley train over the Central railroad of New Jersey passed through this city last evening, and the first east-bound train passed through at 9:28 this morning. Both trains were guarded by a force of armed men. Some of their men jeered and shouted at the guards, but no violence was offered. — WILL PREVENT THE FIGHT. Attorney General Lamar of Florida Will Not Permit The Big: Contest. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—A special from Tallahassee, Fla., says that Atrorney Gen- eral Lamar, in an interview yesterday on the subject of Florida statutes as applicable to prize fighting, said: “Prize fighting is unlawful in: this state. Prize fighters may be punished under Florida revised statutes. Spectators who attend, aid, abet, cheer on or encourage prize fights can be indicted and punished. There ts no weakness in our statutes.

THOUSANDS OF KNIGHTS. Preparations for the Great Assembly of the Pythian Order. A Grand Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue—Prizes to Be Awarded—A Vast Gathering Expected. Washington was the birthplace of the or- der of the Knights of Pythias, and, for this reason more than usual interest attaches to the meeting of the supreme lodge of the world, to be held in this city next August, which will be attended by a grand conclave of knights. ‘The members of the order in this city are fully awake to the importance of the occasion, and are energetically work- ing to prepare for an event which they be- lieve will surpass in numbers, interest and effect all former efforts made by the or- der since its organization. News received here shows that great preparations are being made by divisions throughout the country to attend the demonstration in this city. The entire Ohio brigade have signified their intention of coming. It is estimated that 25,000 members of the uniformed rank will join in the parade on Pennsylvania avenue, and that the whole number of visitors to the city at that time will be not less than 200,000, A recent order issued by Maj. Gen. Carnham, uniform rank, from his head- quarters at Indianapolis, announced that the executive committee having in charge the arrangements and preparations for the reception and entertainment of the supreme lodge and the uniform rank at Waghington during the fourth week of August, 1894, has given to the supreme chancellor and major general full guarantee that every- thing is now so fully secured that there can be no doubt but that. the encampment of the uniform rank will be upon a grander scale,than ever before in its history. The Prizes. ‘The major general has also issued general orders making the following announcement: The major general is authorized by the supreme chancellor and the executive com- mittee to notify the Uniform Rank that the funds are now raised to pay the successful competitors the following prizes at the close of the encampment: Division Prizes.

Dr. and Mrs. Gallaudet have received news of the death, at Las Cruces, New Mexico, of their son-in-law, Prof. Ffancis L. Kendall, lately of Williams College, who, it will be remembered by many, was mar- ried to their daughter Grace last May. Prof. Kendall was in somewhat delicate heaith at the time of the marriage, but it was then confidently expected that a winter spent in a favorable climate would fully restore him. Mrs. Kendall will return shortly to her father’s home at Kendall Green. Prof. Kendall had many friends here, to whom the news of his death will be a severe shock. He was much respected for his many excellent qualities of mind and heart. The~members of the family have the sincere sympathy of many in their bereavement. a Mr. Stump Construes the Immigration Laws. An important decision, construing the immigration laws, was rendered by Super- intendent Stump today in the case of Ed- ward Lowe, a steerage passenger on a recent trip of the Cunard steamer Cam- pania. Lowe was debarred from landing at New York because he came to this coun- try from England under contract to work in a cotton mill at Fall River, Mass. His affidavit on that point was clear and posi- tive. On a rehearing of his case before a board of special inquiry, the evidence that he came to this country under contract was also positive and Lowe was directed to be deported by the steamship company that brought him to this country. —+ 4 A Colorado Appointment.

Opposed as a Method of Advancing Total Abstinence, THE BAPTISTS DISCUSS TEMPERANCE, The Subject of Education Also Re- ceives Attention. THE LAST DAY’S SESSION. Radical opinions were expressed on the temperance question during the discussion at the session this morning at the Calvary Chureh, Sth and H streets. of the third day of the annual meeting of the Columbia as- sociation of churches. All the sessions during the three days have been well at- tended, but perhaps the audience that ‘lis- tened to the reports and the discussions this morning was one of the largest. It is evident that the interest on the part of the Baptists in this meeting increases with each day. Those who attended this morning were rewarded by hearing a debate on the subject of temperance which differed from discussions of this character for the reason that while there was not two sides in the sense that one argued for the liquor traffic and the other opposed, there was a differ- ence of opinion expressed as to the advisa- bility of enforcing, by church discipline, to- tal abstinence. The discussion was based on the report of the committee on temperance presented by Rev. E. Hez Swem. which took strong grounds as to the duties of church mem- bers. Rev, Mr. Smith, however. expressed the opinion that there was a difference of opinion among church members as to total abstinence and he made a plea in favor of liberality toward those who may differ from the more pronounced temperance peo- ple. He did not hesitate to express his per- sonal conviction in favor of total abstinence and advocated the utmost exertion to bring about the prohibition of the liquor traffic. The Ci e of Education. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Green Clay Smith and then the busi- ness of the day was entered upon. The re- port of the committee on education was read by Rev. Dr. Stakely, which stated that the Baptist Social Union was now an accomplished fact. The importance of en- couraging young men to enter the ministry, especially in the foreign field, was emphi sized. Reference was made to the excellent work done by Columbian University and Wayland Seminary. The hope was ex- pressed that the latter would soon be de- veloped into a college. The proposition that the sum of $100,000 be raised in this District for the endowment fund of Columbian Uni- versity was heartily indorsed. It was rec- ommended to the Baptists of the city that they send their sons to be educated in this university. The advantages afforded there for a liberal education were set, forth. The president of the university, Dr. J. C. Welling, who was present, was invited to) address the association. He spoke of the! university as having grown up here and had now developed into a great institution. At had done this without laying any great burden on the denomination at large. He spoke gratefully of the benefaction of the late W. W. Corcoran and pointed out how much wider the scope of the influence of the university would be if the endowment Was great enough-to make it possible to | take advantage in full of the unrivaled op- portunities that lay before this university. ; He commended the recommendations of the committee report in regard to raising a fund of $100,000 and in showing their feith in the work of the university by sending their sons and daughters there to be ed- ucated. He asked that they keep before them the interests of the university and assist as much as possible in advancing it on its career. Wayland Seminary. Dr. King, the president of Wayland Sem- inary, also responded to an invitation to ad- dress the association. He said that the same MA@*of argument advanced by Pres- ident ‘Welling enlisting the sympathies and prayers’ of the Baptists for Columbian University applied with the same force to the institution over which he presided. He spoke of the plan he had in view of selling | the present property and buying larger grounds in the country. But the Home Missionary Society had decided against this plan and it was now intended to erect a building on the ground south of the present building; to give up the present preparatory department and to establish a collegiate course, so that the students now obliged to go elsewhere can remain here. He said that it was not the intention in making these changes in the character of the institution to depart from the mission- ary work which had been carried on. He spoke of the influence of the seminary among the colored Baptists and the im- provement that had taken place in their churches during the past years. The Mary- land graduates, he said, were making them- selves felt. Rev. H. H. Barbour of Falls Church, Va., in the course of a discussion on the report called attention to the gratifying fact that } the Baptist denomination stood at the head in the work of education. R._W. Fenwick, Rev. M. McCullough and E. B. Palmer of Philadelphia took part in the discussion, and then the report was adopted. Various Matters. A resolution was adopted commending to the various young people's societies within the churches of the District the Baptist Young People’s Union of America, and rec- ommending that they accept the invitation to affiliate with that organization by send- ing delegates to the next session of the union, A motion was made by Rev. J. J. Muir and adopted which provided for an amend- ment to the rules that the committee on order of business be made a standing com- mittee. ‘The record of mortality during the year, it was stated by the committee on obitu. aries in its report, has not been great. The list of dead whose names were men- tioned in the report included that of the Pastor of Anacostia Chureh. n point of numbers Calvary Chi stood at’ the head, with a list of nineteon dead. Churches and Temperance The report of the committee on total | abstinence, as presented by Rev. E. Hez Swem, was in the form of resolutions, and was as follows: Resolved, That all churches can best serve their Master as total abstainers, Resolved, That the covenants of all our churches should emphasize the duty of ab- staining from the use and sale of intoxi- cating drinks as a beverage. Resolved, That the member: churches should positively tefane mo prvse 4 all applications for liquor licenses, and ine fluence others to oppose liquor interests, Resolved, That the children should be urged in the homes and Suni be total abstainers, Soe esolved, That Baptist churche: : be the best temperance societies © "204 An amendment was proposed by Rev. Mr. Naylor to the effect that no Baptists should 1 with grocers who sell liquors, “Do you know of any Baptist who deals with such grocers?” asked Rey. ar. Swem. Rev. Mr. Naylor did not mention any names, and Mr. Vinal asked Mr. Swem if he knew any Baptist who had signed a Nquoz license. Rev. Mr. Swem replied that he hoped not, and then asked Mr. Vinal the same ques. tion. The latter responded in the negative. Rev. Mr. Swem then went on to say that temperance reports were apt to be colorless. There seemed to be a fear of boomerangs. This .committee was perfectly willing to accept any amendment covering any point | that might seem important to any member. He preached temperance in his own pulpit, | and told his members that those who sign. ed liquor licenses ought to be disciplined. | But ministers could not always have their, own way. He then went on to speak of | the importance of teaching the children at| the homes in temperance. He alluded to, the neglect of home instruction in religious matters, and ventured the opinion that not one of ten Baptist families in the city had family worship. | “You are speaking for your own church,” observed Mr. A, M. Clapp. “I speak for all churches. My church and the E Street Church,” retorted Mr.| Swem. “Our pastor speaks for the E Street Church,” observed Mr. Clapp, who is a member of that church. Rev. Mr. Swem went on to say that if INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. *MUSEMENTS..... ATTORNEYS. AUCTION BALI BOARDING... BUSINESS CHANCES, CITY ITEMS... COAL AND Woop. COUNTRY REAL ESTATE...... DEATHS...

He said that when he first came to this city he found that the practice of church members in regard to temperance was irregular and uncertain, He thought that been a change in this t, and he was in favor of the attitude of the churches be- ing more pronounced. The discussion, which promised to pro- voke some feeling, was given a turn in the more regular channel by an earnest speech made by Mr. F. A. Vaughn, who dwelt on the evils of the traffic and its influence on the young. He protested vigorously against the practice of Christian men sign- ing liquor licenses. He said that if the Christian men would stand firm against this evil the effect would be felt all over the city. In his temperance work he want- ed to feel that he had the members of the church behind him. All Not Total Abstainers. Rev. Green Clay Smith said in a humor- ous way that he would like to speak about five hours on this subject, but he hesitated about making a start, as the lunch hour was near. He w informed that other matters of business might prevent the con- sideration of the report in the afternoon session, and so he decided to go on. He said that he was a believer in tota! absti- nence, but he saw difficulties in the way of *he general adoption of this principle. Un- less the Savior came he did not believe that the people of this country would come around to this point of belief for some years. He then went on to say that all Bap- tists were not.total abstainers; neither did some of them believe that it was any harm to take a drink now and then. He thought that care should be exercised about boycot- ting any one. A few years ago liquor sell- ers were allowed to be church members. This is not the case so much today. The church has not advanced as fast as some would like. Temperance, however, should be preached in the pulpit and in the home. The hope of this cause lay with the chil- dren and he believed that if temperance principles were taught faithfully to the young in a quarter of a century this would be a prohibition government. But he thought that little can be done with the old men. They are “sot in their ways.” The women, he said, were not all temper- ance women. That was even the case in this city. Some thought that if the women were in control the reform would be made, but he did not believe it. This change must be made slowly. He believed that resolutions should be Prepared to be presented to the Commis- sioners and that they should know that the constituency represented by the four thou- sand members of the association were be- hind it. Certainly such a representation ought to have more weight than the 1,500 saloon keepers of the city. Then appeal could also be made to Congress. He realized that as a citizen he did not have much to say in his local government. When he came here and first appreciated that fact it made him mad, then he became indifferent. In the latter frame of mind lies the danger, he said, to all human liberty. He then went on to say tha people did not start right with their children. They brought up their girls and let their boys bring themselves up. That was the reason there were more men in the penitentiaries than women. He suggested, in closing, an amendment Protesting against opening an additional saloon in this city and that the saloons no: licensed be closed as rapidly as possible. The ume for adjournment having been an- nounced, the consideration of the report was deferred, on motion of Mr. P.S. Foster, until the afternoon session. i A recess was then taken until the after- noon. GEORGETOW WINs, Her Reserves Bent the Lafayettes at Foot Ball. The reserves from Georgetown College had an easy thing of it yesterday afternoon in their game with the Lafayettes. The game was played at National Park in the presence of a fair-sized crowd, and when time was called at the end of the second half the Georgetown boys had piled up a score of 38 to 0. The Lafayettes showed a grievous lack of team practice, while their opponents played a hard, sharp game from beginning to end. The elevens lined up as follows: Georgetown reserves—Green, left end: Kelly, left tackle; O'Leary, left guard; O'Brien, center; Burke, right guard; Doug- lass, right tackle; Gaynor, right end: Smith, quarter back; Fortescue, left half back: a right half back, and Roach, full ck.

No Need for © J. Hampton Hoge to Come Here. ‘The case of Mr. J. Hampton Hoge of Virginia is practically disposed of and there is no longer occasion for him to come to Washington on government business. He was appointed consul to Amoy, China, early in the summer, but for reasons best known to himself he did not start for his post un- til about a month ago. He had proceeded on his way as far as San Francisco and was about to take the steamer for China, when he was summarily ordered to Wash- ington by the President to explain certain questionable financial transactions which tended to discredit his usefulness as a rep- resentative of the United States in the flowery kingdom or in any other country. He has had ample time to reach Washing- ton, but so far has failed to put in an ap- pearance. At last accounts he was in El Paso, Tex., penniless, friendless and thirsty. He may have made some progress toward his home in Roanoke, Va., since then, but | if the present temper of the State Depart- ment officials holds it will be a waste of time and money for him to continue his journey to this city. It is said at the de- partment that Mr. Hoge is no longer in the service of the government and that his accounts for traveling expenses will be allowed only up to the time of his ar- riv: at San Francisco. In cther words, his appointment was revoked by the Presi dent at that time and his subsequent reer has precluded all chances of his re- appointment. Range of the Thermometer.

Cooper, chief of the misce- laneous division of the Interior Depart- ment, usually entertains his visitors with stories of life in the far-down south. To party of friends who clustered around him this morning he told the following yarn: “At a camp fire in south Florida a friend of mine, one of the natives, said: “Did you ever hearn tell of how Bill Sprowles onct ketched a big ‘gator? I said ‘no.’ “Wen? he continued, “when Bill and I lived in Polk county we lost lots of hogs by "gators, and one time me and Bill was a ridin’ through the woods in our range lookin’ up some meat hogs, when we come to a little lake, about forty acres, I reckon, or about 400 yards wide. Right in the middle of ita big black hog was a floatin’ dead, and a swimmin’ near it the biggest "gator I ever |seed—he must have been twenty foot long if er inch. Bill was a high-tempered man, and he got powerful mad and swore land cussed and said he knowed the hog was hissen, and though he didn’t have nary gun with him, he'd be blamed if He didn’t git that blasted ‘gator anyhow. “I tried to stop him, but it warn’t no use» he tuck and cut a stick about as big ‘round’/ as my wrist and about two foot long and sharpened both ends, then he tuck the | twenty-foot rope he had for a halter and tied it to the middle of that stick, he shucked off his ee — — > stick and rope, as nal as he was . he commenced to swim out to that all-fired ‘gator. At first the ‘gator didn’t pay any *teation to him, but kept a swimmin’ ‘round | the dead hog, but when Bill got in about fifty yards of him, he turned and headed for Bill. Bill he stopped swimmin’ and just hilt the stick in front and shuck it from side to side, to make a splashin” sound. Then that ‘gator started for Bill, slow at first, but faster as he came, till the water fairly billed, and when he got in about ten foot of him his jaws flew open and I could see his tusks a shinin’ through © the fog of water and his mouth looked tea foot wide. Gee Whiliikens! 1 hollered | “Good-bye, Bill,” but no, siree! Bill he just | kept his place and hilt that stick at arm's. length in front of him, and when the “gator got close enough just shoved it into | his mouth. That cussed ‘gator shet down on it with a snap, and it just stuck at both ends and propped his mouth wide open. The ‘gator stopped and shet one eye and looked at Bill, he hilt his holt and looked at the ‘gator, the ‘gator tried to turn his | head one way and the other, he tried to go backward and then to go fored, but it warn’t no use. Bill hilt on and a usin’ one arm and hand swam back to the shore, a bringin’ the ‘gator with him, and tied him to a stump, and then he said: “You durned old amniverous cuss—which means you eats meat and likes hog best—‘I'll go home and git an ax and come back here and finish ye ooty friend having concluded this re- markable narration took a long whiff at his pipe and regarded me earnestly. Despite my efforts to be politely creduious my ex- pression, I fear, did not exactly please him, for he said a little stiffly, “That is a solemn fact, as true as gospel, and you may be- lieve it just the same as if you had seeh it yourself.” I expressed my regret that T had not had that privilege.” The flagship San Francisco sailed frot Colon today for Cartagena, Colombia. Her movements indicate that affeirs are quiet on the isthmus. 4 The Dolphin sailed from Boston yester- day for New York. ‘The Kearsarge has arrived at New York, and the Michigan is at Erie, Pa.
