THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1896. day, as memory brings vividly before them the | event we now celeorate! Back through the vista of years is the fron- tier village upon the Mississippi and the | sparsely populated pioneer State whose West- ern limit marked the border line of civiliza- tion—to-day & splendid city, s magnificent | State. This is the fitting place for the august | ceremot in which we are permitted to take part. We stand on historic ground. Here the | officials of the old territoriai regime quietly vielded up the symbols of authority to suc- | cessors clothed with higher dignity and power. Here they gathered from far and near—the sturdy citizen, the pioneer, the frontiersman— to witness the wonderful transformation and | bid godspeed to the new State. ‘‘Ring outthe | old, ring in the new.” | The record of iilustrious deeds brightens the pages of your history; but none more worthy of remembrance than of the deeds of the men who led the van, who marked out the path- way, who set up the public defenses, who were | literally the b s of the State. | This hour esses the close of the first chapter—the close of the first hali century of life of this great commonwealth. What sacri- fices, what struggles, what heroic deeds of noble men and women, what marvelous | achievements are bound up in these fifty years | of history! | Another anniversary and what wonders will meet the eyes of those whoupon this historic E nd shall celebrate the first centennial of the State! What has been brought out amid the conflict of the past is but the earnest of | the marvelous achievements of the coming century. The American Spirit is one that knows no rest.

WILLIAM J; BRYAN I\ WEST VIRGINA Wheeling Celebrates the Ar- rival of the Silver Candidate. SOME OHIO MEN THERE. Many Persons Turn Out to See and Hear the Orator From Nebraska. PICKPCCKETS YET WORRY HIM Photograph Fakers Also Join the Crowd That Accompanies the Traveling Aggregation. WHEELING, W, Va., Oct. L—William J. Bryan has reason to feel proud of the reception he received here to-night Wheeling celebrated his preseuce with vigorous enthusiasm. Ohio joined wiih West Virginia in thedemonstration. From Stenbenville came many excursionists, in- cluding the members of two free silver | clubs. One of these organizations was called the Republican Free Siiver Club and cisimed 400 men in line. Pittsburg, Pa., sent 100 persons, A farmers’ delega- tion marched in irom St. Clairsviile, Onio, ten miles away, gathering recruits asthey neared Wheeling. The vast ihrongs on the streets when Mr. Bryan reached Wheeling on a special train, accompanied by Governor McCorkle, Jobn T. McGraw, National Committeeman, and other prom- inent West Virginians, was unprecedent- | ed in the history of the town. How many were in the crowd along the sidewalks is impossible of estimation, but an idea of its size may be gained from the statement that passage was almost impossible to pedestrians for over a dozen blocks. The parade was highly imposing, with its free | silver clubs in uniform and its troops of mounted men. All along the way the enthusissm was of the heartiest kind. The speaking took place on Wheeling | Island, in the Ohio River, and its four oridge approaches—two from the Obio side of the river and the others from ‘Wheeling—were put to their utmost ca- At 4 o'clock the grand stand on the island, said to hold $000 people, was nearly full, and the assemblage increased in size until the time Mr. Bryan arrived there, and the crowd bad becomé a re- markable one in point of numbers com- posing it. Estimates of its size run as high as 30,000, and it is ciaimed that 40,000 people were on the streets. Mr. Bryan was cheered wildly when he was introduced by Paul Reymamn, a Democrat of local prominence.

Mr. Bryan bhad a narrow escape from being robbed of his sleep. Two photograph fakers were taken into custody at Grafton on suspicion of being connected with the gang of pickpockets following the Bryan party. One of them said he had prresented a {letter of introduction to Mr. Bryan and | wanted the candidate summoned to iden- | tifv him. The hearing lasted until 4 A. M.

Y., Oct. 1.—Philip Me- Carron of San Francisco, who was a pas- | gid senger on the steamer Finance, which ar- rived to-day,died of phthisis on September 27, and was at sea, hort speech to 600 people. He was then riven to the falr grounds, where he de- livered a longer address to a larger audi- ence. At the Traders' Hotel Mr. Bryan said: Iam not geing to make aspeech here, be- cause I believe I have an appointment at the fair grounds, and we must hasten out there in order to eatch the next train; and then, as the pie are not in good finmacial econdition, it s not an easy thing for them 10 come all the war to Nebraska in special ears to call on me. [Applause.] As they are not able to get out there, Iam reversing the process atd coming 10 see the people. [Applanse.] At the fair grounds Mr. Bryan said in part: I want to quote to you, not from Demoeratic suthority, but from what the great leader, the Republican candidate for President, saidsix years ago in regard to the necessity for an in- creasing circulation. You will find in his let- ter of acceptance of this year this statement: “It is not more money we wani. What we want is to put the money we already have at work.™ Now remember, my f{riends, that these words were uttered ata time when the circulating medium had fallen off $150,000,- in two years, Let me compare that with what he said six years ago, when instead of having a decreasing volume of currency, we bad sn increase of about §84,000,000 every year. At that time they were trying to sub- sl:‘mll the Sherman law the Bl n ac My friends, what change has taken place in the lest six years? Then he desired to in- cresse the amount of moneyin eirculation and now he believes that all you have todo is to have confidence; that you have emough and you will never motice this loss. [Ap- plause.] My, friends, the Republicsn platiorm upon which the candidate stands declares in favor of the maintenance of a gold standard until the leading comwercial nations of the world joia us in abandoning it. Let me resd you waat the Republican candidate said six {enn lfu iu the discussion of the Sherman ill: “I am for the largest use of silyer in the currency of the country. I would not dis- honor it; I would give it equal credit with gold; I would make no discrimination. I would utilize both metals as money and dis- credit neither. 1 want the double standard and I believe confidence will accomplish this pu ."” He wanted the double standard then; he wants the gold standard now. What change has taken place? [Cheers] If the double standard was SIX_years ago it is good now. [Cries ot " and applause.] Att 11:30 the special train pulled out for Parkersburg, where the largest assemblage of people Parkersburg has ever known heard him deliver an address at Stephens Grove. Excarsion trains brought in great crowds from near-by places. From Washington County, Ohio, the railroads and steamships ied more than 5000 people, ana from 3000 and rrh. elsewhere in u-}’«:r McKinley's State large contingents came. A big parade bad to be abandoned on account of the muaddy condition of the streets. Mr. Bryan pro- ceeded directly from bis train to Ste; Grove, where fully 15,000 people gathered e drizzle and cheered bim wildly. Governor William McCorkie of West Virginia and General Warner of Ohio, president of the National Bimetallic League, had made before the . Bryan, who for some time on the money n. Mr, Bryan recited his oit-quoted extract ens | gif from Jobn G. Carlisle’s speech of 1878 about the emancipation of theindustrial classes from syndicates, etc.,, and after commenting on it in substantially the language used by him before p! ed as follows: "My friends, you must not believe what you sometimes see in the papers that I am about to give Hpe Iam not. If you will let me do this work by degrees, and not compel me to at- iempt 100 much, I will promise to keep it up until the eveniug beiore election and on the last day have in Nebraska the only meeting that 1 expect to have in that State before elec- tion day. At 4:30 o’clock Mr. Bryan left Parkers- burg over the Ohio River Railroad tracks ir another special train provided by the Wheeling committee. The trip along the banks of the Ohio River between Parkers- burg and Wheeling was marked by dem- onstrations at Sistersville and New Mar- tinsville, the oniy stops made. At Sisters- ville the crowd at the station numbered at least 2000 people. The¢y cheered vigor- ously when Mr. Bryan appeared on the back platform, and when the regulation brass band had finished playing he made ashort speech which contained nothing new. The gathering at New Martinsville was composed ot about 1500. They showed considerable enthusiasm. . —_—— BRYAN WILL ACCEPT. Completes a Letter to the Populists Who Neminated Him. WHEELING, W. Va, Oct. 1L—Mr. Bryan has finished the preparation of his letter accepting the Populist nomination. It will probably be made public in St. Louis, Colonel Fitzgerald, the Populist candi- date for Governor of this State, who had his pocker picked of $60 at Cumberiand yesterday, lost all the rest of his money to the light-fingered gentry last night while he was piloting Mr. Bryan through the crowd at Grafton. Two picture fakirs who were arrested on suspicion at Grafton were conironted by Colonel Fitzgerald in the Mayor's office there. Colonel Fitzgerald was once a professor of phrenology, and, after an examination of the heaas of the suspects, he pronounced them both nat- ural-born thieves and accused them of the theft of his money. He could not pro- duce more substantial evidence, however, and they were released on their personal recognizance. —_— PUT THE PROGRAMME THROUGH. New X¥ork Populists Meet to Complete Fusion With Demoorats. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 1.—Twenty Populists responded io-day to the call for a second convention to revise the work of the former convention. At that conven- tion Bryan and Watson electors were named and also a full State ticket. These men were named with the understanding that they would place their resignations in the hands of the State Committee, to be used if fusion with the Democrats can be arranged at the Buffalo convention. The committee sent to Buffalo received no recognition, but according to the Pop- ulist leaders who are here William P. St. John, treasurer of the Democratic party, bas given assurance that fusion will pe made on Congressmen in several districts, oroviding the Democratic electors and State ticket were indorsed. The convention was reconvened to carry out this prozramme. A!l who came went into executive session as a State commit- tee and at some time during the proceed- ings they resolved themselves into a con- vention. The constitution of the People’s party was amended so as to allow fusion to be | made. Then it was found that Candidate Lincoln had not resigned as reported. This was overcome, however, by ignoring the action of the former convention for the reason that 1ts officers had never been sworn and it was thereiore declured illegal. Chairman Fero and Secretary McParly were sworn in and Bryan and Sewall elec- tors were indorsed without opposition, When it eame to indorsing Porter and was some objection, but it was overcome and the programme went through., STy NO BRYANISM IN THEIRS.

L—A band of rebels attacked the town of Canas, near Artemisa, in the province of Pinar del Rio, yesterday, but were repulsed by the Spanish garnson. Before leaving the in- surgents looted a number of stores and burped several huts on the outskirts. ©Of the recently expected 40,000 re-en- forcements 30,300 men have arrived up to date, The rebels derailed a passenger train near Sabinalla in the Matanzas province yesterday, upsetting the engine and the armored car containing the train’s escort. Four soldiers of the escort were injured. Marcelino Elijalde, a prisoner of war, has been sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion. A Governmeant force under the com- mand of Major Martinez has had an en- gogement near Pico Fuerte in the eastern trocha with a rebel force led by Solano. The insurgents, who occupied an in- | trenched position, werg surrounded and finally dislodged. The rebel loss was four- teen killed, including Maruique, one of their leaders.

They attempted to land surrentitiousiy, but were detected and piaced under arrest for violating the quarantine laws. The papers in their pos- session were taken from them by the authorities, NEW YORK, N. Y.. Oct l—Senors Policarpio Lujan, Abelardo Ferrera and N. Lopez bave arrived in this city from Havaua, commigsioned by the Spanish Red Cross Society to collect funds and medical supplies for the relief of the sick and wounded in the: h army. The news of their "% dval'has caunsed considerable surprise in<Caban circles. It is only a week, the Cubans say, since General Weyler, wishing to deprive the patriot army of all resources for caring for their sick, forbade the taking of any med- jcines out of the city without a permit issued by the Spanish military authori- ties. The Spanish official reports of the war often refer to the destruction by their troops of Cubax hospitals, and they almost consider such outrages as signal victories. Under these circumatances the Cubans do not believe that the American people will give their support to the Spanish Red Cross | Society unless it pledges itself to care for the sufferers in the Cuban army. TALKS ABOUT DENAMITERS, Ezx-Secretary Asquith Denies the Stories of Prison Cruelties. LONDON, Exe., Oct. L—The Right Hon. Herbert Asquitb, who was Home Secre® tary in Lord Rosebery’s Cabinet, made a speech to-night at Leven, Scotland. During the course of his remarks he re- ferred to the recent release of the dyna- miters, Daly, Whitehead and Gallagher, whose cases had come before him while he was Home Secretary, but whose release he refused to consent {o. He said he accepted the Government’s statement that the dynamiters had been liberated solely on account of their bad health, but. speaking with the futlest knowledge and sense of responsibility, he emphatically denied that they had been treated in prison with exceptional severity. More- over, when he quitted office there was no ground, gceotdincf to the rules governing the exercise of clemency, then justifying the liberation of the dynamiters. SuRiaty e i The Austrian Reichsrath. VIENNA, Avstria, Oct. 1.—The Reichs- rath resumed its sittings to-day. Dr.von Belindki, Minister of Finance, in pre- senting the budget astonished the House by declaring that all the estimates of for- mer years had been unreal and were cal- culated to deceive Parliament. An aver- age for tke last five years shows the ex- penditures had exceeded the estimates more than 22,000.006 florins. The budget was illusory in other respects. Ur. von Belindki stated that he proposed to estab- lish a separate investment budget to be rhnvmd b’dl:m{l r-nlg.e”n.

Althcugh Married S:veral Times Wil- liam B. Thompson Was Prepar- ing to Wed Again. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 1.—Great zon- sternation was created in the Center-street Police Court yesteraay when it became known that William B. Thompson, an al- leged bigamist, arraigned during the morning and psroled in the custody of his counsel, F, H. Gray, until 3 o’clock, | when he was to appear and furnish bail of $1000, had escaped from the man placed in charge of him. At 5 o’clock a general alarm was sent out for the alleged biga- mist’s arrest. Thompson was arrested upon the com- plaint of Mrs. May Irving Pierson, who, if the result of her investigation is correct, is i the sixth wife of Thompson. The warrant for Thompson’s arrest was issued in the Center-street court Tuesday afternoon and placed in the hands of Detective O’Connor ! of the court squad to execute. O'Connor | was informed that it was Thompson’s in- tention to be married that night to Miss | Emma Orth, the daughter of his iandlady, at the latter’s residence, 1138 Je! n avente, Brookiyn. Detective O’Connor says that while there was no evidence of a wedding about to take place, Miss Orth, who is fine lookin, land years old, hbysterically .mmi Thompson of deceiving her and ruining her life when the warrant was served. | Thompson was brought to New York | late Tuesday night ana locked up in the { Tombs. Yesterday morning Thompson { was before Magistrate Wentworth in the | Center-street Police Court. M. Gray, his counsel, stated that his client was not ready ior an examination, and requested | that he be paroled in his custody in order that he might secure a bondsman. He promised the magistrate that Thompson should be kept in the custodv of a man from his office. Magistrate Wentworth graoted his uest. With hilr:gunuel, Thompson left the court. His wifeentered the court and said to the magis| “I tell you this man will run away if you do not put him under ponds.” The magistrate replied: “You [ attend to your own business and I will at- tend to mine.” Thompson did not put in_an apperance at 3 o’clock. An hour passed and then the magistrate grew anxious and sent Detect- ive O’Connor out to see if he could find Mr. Gray. The detective returned and said be could not find him. In a few minates Mr. Gray entered the courtroom accompanied by a man who said his name was Peloubet.” Magistrate Wentworth was mortified when he was told that Thompson had escaped. Gray, Peloubet, Assistant District At- torney Battle and the magistrate held a consultation for half an hour. Battle said, subsequently that Thompson would prob~ ably ve in court this morning. Miss Orth said last night: _*“Thompson, when I first met him in February last, and to whom I became engaged at ter, always represented himself to me asa single man. When I told him that [ heard that he was married he always de- nied it. The day for our weddind was changed many times, the last date being September 29. Before that day came an- other change was made. Thompson called here this afternoon with his lawyer to secure a small box belonging to him. He had nothing to say to me and went away as soon as possible.” S i S Coursing at Abderdeen. ABERDEEN, 8. D., Oct.

OARS AND CAEW Fatal Wreck of a Freight Train on the Baltimore and Ohio. ALL HANDS ARE KILLED While Running at a Terrific Speed the Cars Jump the Track. TERRIBLE SCENE PRESENTED. Wedged Among the Wrecksge Were the Mangled Bodies of Trainmen and Two Tramps. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. L—A disastrous freight wreck occurred near Filson sta- tion, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, early this morning. The entire train crew, consisting of engineer, fireman, con- ductor, two brakemen and flagman, and- two tramps were killed. Thirty-four cars loaded with coal, together with the engine and caboose, were piled up on the track and traffic is entirely suspended. The train left the track on a sharp curve at the foot of a long, steep grade. The grade on this part of the road is the heav- iest anywhers on the system. For seven- teen miles the track steadily descends at the rate of 125 feet to the mile. The train was a heavy one and evi- dentiy got beyond the control of the crew. It was running st s terrific rate as it reached the bottom of the grade and siruck the sharp curve at that place. Almost as soon as it struck the curve the engine left the track and the whole | train followed and piled up in a tangled mass 1n the cut through which the curve ran. ‘When daylight came, so that the wreck counld be seen, it was found to present a remarkable sight. The engine, the caboose and the thirty- four cars were piled together in inextrica- ble confusion and smashed almost out of resemblance to cars, while over every- thing the coal was scattered. Wedged beiween two of the cars and crushed into a shapeless mass were the bodies of two tramps who had evidently been stealing a ride. The bodies of the trainmen have not yet been found and are undoubtedly buried deeply in the wreck. They will not be reached until the wreckage has been cleared away, something that will take many hours of hard work. PRESENTS 10 JOCKEYS Ope Practice That the New York Club Is Determined to Suppress. President Belmont Warns All ke Riders at Gravesend to Be Careful. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. L—Mr. Bel- mont, president of the Jockey Club, is the first officer of that body to break silence with reference to the recent findings con- cerning irregular practices. Jockey Martin has admitted his case, but there was some curiosity as to why Jockey Coylie should have been sus- pended. When asked about it to-day Mr. Belmont said: “Coylie has been disciplined for bet- ting. Itis trne the amount he bet was insignificant, but he is a young lad, and it was deemed important to teach him at the ontset of his career that no rule of a jockey club is a dead letter.”” It was suggested to Mr. Belmont that reference was made in the finding of the stewards to matters that may come before the State racing committee. ‘{the defendant engage MO TOGETHEY 110, 1896.

IT'S VERY EASY As to the matter of giving presents to jockeys for any reason, the jockey ciub means to stamp it out. In some quarters there is a disposition to consiaer that the motive actuating the persoms giving the presents is what governs. The jockey club means to stand by the principle in- volved. Just after the race at Gravesend to-day Mr. Belmont called all the jockeys at the track before him and warned them that if they were caught with plungers about the paddock they would be peremptorily ruled off all jockey club tracks, no matter what they might be talking about.
