LOYAL CITIZENS CHEER AT CANTON Pennsylvanians Journey to the Home of Major McKinley And Bring Assurances That the State Is Safe for the Candidate. SANDUSKY SENDS ITS QUOTA. Prolonged Applause Greets the Stan- dard-Bearer When He Tells of Fuature Prosperity. CANTON, O=r0, Oct. 19.—A delegation of about 300 voters from the Lehigh Valley istrict of Pennsylvania arrived in this y at 10 o’clock this morning to pay their respects to Major McKinley. The visitors came from Shamokin and a num- ber of other towns between that place and Wilkesbarre. Hazelton and Freeland were pretty well represented. Owing to the continued inclement ' weather the party was hurried by the Canton citizens' receptior committee to the Tabernacle. Congressman Charles L. Brumm of Potts- ville, Pa., acted as spokesman for the vis- itors, In hisremarks to the candidate he predicted that Pennsyivania would send & solid Republican delegation to the next Congress besides giving McKinley a ma- jority of three-quarters of a million votes. Major McKinley in response dwelt at length upon the tariff question. *“We have more free trade 1n this country,’”” he de- clared, *than any other country in the worid, but itis free trade at home and among our own States. We want all that kind of free trade we can have, but we want no free trade with foreign countries.” He concluded by urging the necessity of a sound currency. usky County sent a big crowd of its nts to cali on the major this af- on. They came in sections by differ- routes, and when they had all congre- zated at the Tabernacle there were fully 1000 in the party. Despite the rain they were unusually enthusiastic. ~Clyde, Bellevue, Fremont and Green Springs were among the towns represented. Among those who accompanied the dele- was Scott Hayes, son of the late nt Huyes. Afier the singing of campaign songs by an uncome y good glee club which came with the visitors, R. D. Dewey, an attorney ot Olyde, acting as the spokesmen of the party, made the introductory address. He eulogized the late President Haves and spoke of the magnificent war records of the late Generals Buckland and Mec- Pherson, the remains of all of whom rest within the borders of Sandusky County. When Major McMnley responded he was greeted with great applause.

[Laughter and applause.] After listening attentively to the ad- dress of Major McKinley a procession was formed and the more enthusiastic mem- bers of the party, beaded by a band of music, marched through the rain and up to the McKinley residence. There they presented to Mrs. McKinley a beautiful collection of roses, the gift of the ladies of Sandusky, It is expected that October 14, which has been designated as Illinois day, will be the most notable day of the campaign this city.

CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 13.—Executive Comimitteean Durbin returned from Indianapolis to the Republican Nationai headquarters and reported the result of his conference with ex-President HanlClmoxniA. October 17th, 19th aud 20th, I THE GREAT POPOCR -r:t/% &) son relative to that statesman stumping his native State for McKinley. Mr. Dur-, bin was successful in arranging a schedule of thirty-six speeches for Mr. Harrison, not including numerous short talks which he will make from the specia! train that will take tke party through the State. Mr. Durbin said the great demands which had been made on General Harrison by personal ‘and political friends and party organizations throughout the Union to deliver addresses had no doubt forced him to the necessity of declining to speak out- side of Indiana. United States Senator George W. Mec- Bride of Oregon came to headquarters from the coast and assured Chairman Haunna that a great change had come over the voters of that State favorable to Me- Kinley, and the same was true of Wash- ington. Committeeman Payne said he had received a report from the Washing- ton State Committee informing him that there had been & landslide of Republi- canism in the last ten days. Committee- man Cummins returned from a fifteen days’ trip to Iowa. He said he had made a careful canvass of his State and esti- mated McKinley’s majority would not be less than 40,000. ‘He declared the majority had increased every day he had been in the State. Congressman Boutelle will speak in Los Angeles next Saturday, in S8acramento on the 19th and San Franciscoon the 20th. During the Jast week of the campaign Speaker Reed will go o California and de- liver several adaresses. The first will be in Los Angeles October 27. Governor Merriam of Minnesota was at Lheadquarters and arranged for speakers in that State to close the campaien. Special attention will be paid to Nebraska and Kansas for the remaining three weeks of the campaign. They will be liberally supplied with speakers. Sobogoin Loos IT WOULD BE DISASTROUS. Governor Coral of Somora Tells of the Lvils of Free Silver in This Country. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—Governor Raymon Coral of the State of Sonora, Mexico, accompanied by BSecretary of State Ortez, is staying at she Waldorf Hotel. Governor Coral, speaking to-day upon the silver question, said : *“The conditions obtai~.ing in my coun- try on a silver basis and those in the United States on a gold basis are so radi- cally different that it fs ‘impossibie to make a comparison batween them. Each country must be considered by itself. *‘The result in the United States if the Cl}icngo platform should be adopted,” he saia, “‘would be disastrous. *For myself, I do not believe that if Bryan is elected his party will dare to pass the free-coinage law proposed. It would not only be disastrous, as I have said, but would precipitate revolution. It is nonsense to say that the United States is able to establish and maintain a finan- ciul policy of the character proposed in- dependent of the rest of the world. “There are two things no Government can do. One is to create an artificial value and exact it; the other is to isolate itself from the rest of the world and achieve permanent prosperity.” e St BOUTELLE COMING WEST, The Maine Statesman to Deliver Speeches in California. CHICAGO, ILn., Oct. 13.—Congressman Boutelle of Maine, who spent some time at Republican National teadquarters to- day, was assizned to make speeches for the rest of the campaign in the coast States. He will arrive next Baturday at Los Angeles and deliver three speeches in | He wint .peni in Onéon October 22d and 23d, and the rest of the campaign, from «October 26th to November 2d, he will ‘stump Wasuington. His speeches will ‘deal with the tariff question, the instruc- tions from headquarters being that all National Committee speakers shall give the Pacific Coast what they are asking for—the tariff talk. Mr. Schoonmaker of New Jersey, who is stumping on the coast, has been allowed by Chairman Haons to remain there for the'rest of the campaign, the leaders there having asked for him, Mr. Hanna, commenting to-day on the letter of Archbishop Ireland, said itstruck the-keynote which the Republican orators were now sounding all over the country in presenting tue tendency of the Chicago platform toward revolution. Mr. Hanna said the tanff was now the chief topic of the speeches beinz made by the committee orators, and he did not place much faith in a concentration of forces and successive demonetrations in Cook County the last two weeks of the campaign. He said the number of voters who could be induced to change. their opinions at that Jate hour ‘'would not affect the general result. Russell Harrison, son of the ex-Presi- dent; United States Senator Brown of Utah, Chairman Samuel J. Robérts of the Kentucky committee, Senaior Saunders of Montana, Governor Hastings of Penn- sylvania and Congressman Dolliver of | Iowa were among the callers at headquar- ters. Chairman Roverts said for Ken- tucky that, of the 40,000 gold Democrats, 60 per.cent would vote for McKinley, ac- cording to the poll made. He did not pe- lieve there were half the silver Republi- cans claimed by the Democrata, Hon. Bourke Cockran of New York also called to see Mr. Hanna. Baturday, Octo- ber 24, has been designated as a day of speech-making and parades all over the country by the railway sound-money clubs all over the country. TQ DIVIDE AN ARCHDIOCESE. Archbishop Corrigan. May Give Up Some of His Territory to Bishop Keane. * NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—It is re- ported to-night that to-morrow at the residence of Archbishop Corrigan, Cardi- nal Satolli, Bishop Keane and many other Catholic digniteries will consider the question of dividing the archdiocese of New York. Archbishop Corrigan, whose province embraces all of New York State and Newark and Trenton dioceses, has long found his work too heavy. 3 Bishop Farley acts as his assistant, and should the diocese of Buffalo be made into an archdiocese, the diocese of Rochester and Syracuse would probably be added. It is said that the Right Rev. John J. Keane would be appointed Archbishop to preside over the new archdiocese. It will be remembered thut the Pope offered to make him titular Archbishop when he was removed from the rectorship of the Washington University. Archbishop Corrigan is ‘said to be in favor of the division, and if made, his rovince would be the dioceses of New ork, Long Island, Albany, Ogdensburg, Newark and Trenton. A Arcibishop Martinelli also is said to favor the plan, which Cardinal Satoll in- dorses. Father Connolly, secretary to-Arch- bishop Corrigan, to-night refused to con- firm or deny the report of the meeting. S i : Treasury Gold Keserve, * WASHINGTON, D.

G . 1 THE CASTLES MAY NDW BE CLEARED Released on Bonds Pending a Trial of the Case by Jury. An Unfortunate Affair That Promises to Be Speedily Terminated. MRS. CASTLE’S SAD CONDITION. Friends ‘of: the Accused See a Favor- _able Indication in the Nearness of the Hearing. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 13.—Notwithstand- ing the hope of the friends of, Walter M. Castle and his wife, Ella, that ofie or both would be released at the examination in the Great Marlborough-street Court to- day, their ples of *‘not gnilty’’ was not ac- cepted. When the case was called Solic- itor- Abrahams, who represents the ac- cused merchant ana his wife, made a formal motion for dismissal in the case of Mr. Castle on the ground that he had had no connection’ with the alleged thefts. His defense for Mrs. Castle was klepto- mania, as had been outlined. * On behalf of Mrs. Castle, expert testi- ‘mony was introduced to show her mental irresponsibility. X The Public Prosecutor introducea the three tradesman from whose shops the furs 'had been taken, They testified as to the loss of the articles found in posses- sioh of the Castles, and said Mr. Castle accompanied his wife when they were taken. Evidence as to the finding of the property in the room of the accused mer- chant and his wife in the Hotel Cecil was also introduced. On this showing the magistrate refused to uccept either plea. The defense was given the option of having the case dis- posed of there and then by the magistrate, who could fix sentence, or of having it re- manded for trial by jury. They accepted the iatter alternative and the cases were set for trial on Tuesday of next week. Counsel for the accused asked that they might be released on bail and the request was granted, though bail was fixed at the large sum of £20,900 each. The accusea were returned to prison pending the ar- rival of bail bonds, for which their M immediately began to make uwi The physicians-of Holloway jail stated to the court that the deténfion of Mrs. Castle in jail had been and would con- tinue to be highly injurious to her heall The prisoners were then admitted to| bail in the sum of m,om(mmm their appearange in court next Tuesda they having been further re: that day. Bail was farnish: ties of £5000 for Mrs, same for Mr. Castle, and the; own recognizances for £10,000 each. sureties included Julius' Simon ‘of the, AT DRAGOIN, ~The Chinese Idea of Scaring Opponents Won’t Work in America. r-An'lo-Cnli!orninn Bank; Adolphus Co- hen, diamond merchant, Holborn, and Louis Weill, goldsmith, Hatton Garden. The fourth surety was Charles Guthrie of the firm of Chalmers, Guthrie & Co., bankers and merchants of 9 Idol lane, London. Every effort will now be bent to make a complete defense when the case shall come up for trial next week. In addition to expert medical testimony from London physicians’ testimony from California will be introduced to show kleptomania in Mrs. Castle. Notwithstanding the unfav- orable result of fhe plea of not guilty in the case of Mr. Castle his friends here are confident that he will be acquitted at the trial. The fact that they were given the privilege of bail, and that their trial was set for as early as next week, is considered a favorable indication. WITH TERRELL ON DECK.

SUFFERED FOR NINE DAY Resc'ne of the Crew. of the Nor- wegian Bark Lovize From Open Boats. After Rescuing S:i'ors From a Sink- ing Vessel the Heroes Abandoned . Their Own Craft. PRILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 18. — The steamer Evelyn arrived here to-night with the crew of the Norwegian bark Lovize aboard. The Lovize was abandoned while on avoyage from Mobile for Rosario, Ar- ‘gentine Republic, and after nine days of suffering in an open boat her crew was picked up by the Evelyn. The Lovize left ‘Mobile on August 16, with a cargo of pitch _pine. On Beptember 1 a heavy gale of wind was encountered, before which the bark scudded for two days.

Fi- nally the two boats were lashed together and a sea anchor put out, and in this way they rode out the gale. For nine days the men drifted along un- der the tropical sun, and with but one drink of water a day suffered great agony and anxiety. When they had nearly abandoned hiope they were picked up by the steamer Evelyn. The Lovize was a bark of 1053 tons and hailed from Christiania, Norway. Z pelidelds R ] SPREAD RUIN ON ALL SIDES. Great Barrington,?as.. Swept by a Most Disastrous Fire, Causing Great Destruction. GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass., Oct. 13.—The fire which swept over this place last night spread disaster on all sides. The business portion of the town was almost completely destroyed. The telephone and telegraph wires were burned out. Some estimate the extent of the damage at $300,000 and others at a much higher figure. - The fire was got under control at daybreak and at 5 o’clock-was entirely ex- tinguished. Along Railroad avenue every building was gutted. The Church block, the principal one here, was utterly de- stroyed. About sixty firms, representing all kinds of business, and many families were driven into the streets. The railroad station was one of the few places that es- caped. The Mill Hotel was also badly damaged. Another fire broke out at 2 o’clock this af- ‘ternoon in the annex of the hotel, but was quickly extinguished. 3 ———— . RECIPROCITY 1S REQUIRED.

DISASTER NEAR PACIFIC GROVE Moonlight Driving Party Hurled From a Steep Embankment. One Life Lost, Ten Lads Injured and Their Four Horses Killed, TO0 THE BOTTOM OF A GULCH. Football Players Returning From Salinas Lose the Road on the Toro Grade. PACIFIC GROVE, CarL, Oct. 13.—One life was lost, four lads were dangerously injured and half a dozen badly hurt in a disaster last night on the Toro grade, be- tween this city and Salinas. A four-horse wagonette, carrying the Pacific Grove High School football team from Salinas, where it had played against a high school eleven, plunged over an enbankment to the bote tom of a gulch forty feet below. Allof the horses were killed and the occupants of the wagon were pinned down under the wreckage, or under the bodies of the ex- piring animals. Frank Oyer died soon after being extricated. He was the 17« year-old son of a Pacinc Grove capitalist, The seriously injured are: James Mori, a Japanese, legs badly crushed and bruised about head and arms, Eddie Rich, chest crushed. Lewis Dangerfield, nose broken and arm badly cut. Frank Hart, hurt about head and shoulders. William Johnson, fingers crushed. Thomas Gordon, a cripple, badly bruised and cut on the body. Frauk Ellis, leg cut badly. Charles Little, the driver, cut about the face and head. ! Yesterday’s game of football was the first ever played in Monterey County. The Pacific Grove boys rode to Salinas in a large four-in-hand rig. The game began at 2 o'clock and was over by 4:30. At 5 o’clock the boys, after having been de- feated by the Salinas athletes, started on the homeward trip. It was a beautiful moonhght night, but when the road ran through the canyon two miles this side of the Laguna Seca ranch the sideZlights of the wagonette were lighted. The dust tong this part of the road at this time of the year is frequently from six to eight inches deep. After proceeding down the canyon for a half-mile the driver finally drew rein and got down and extinguished the lights, for the reason that they were a hindrance rather than a help to -him in showing the roadway. Quite a breeze was blowing up the canyon from Monterey Bay, and this tended to keep the dust in circulation, so that at times all four horses were entirely enveloped and the driver was unable to distinguish his leaders. At these times he could not see the road at all,.and would stop until the dust blew away before trying to proceed. Charles Little was driving the team. He is an old stagedriver and had been over this road probably fifty times without an accident. In another four-in-hand rig there were seated twenty of the high school girls, who went over from this place to “root” for their school team waile it played foot« ball, - They were just ahead of the boys all the way from Balinas, and_were gaily singing their college songs and giving the school yell. Sometimes the boys in the wagonette behind would answer. Thus they went along, all trying to make the long ride as pleasant as possible. Suddenly, as the horses drawing the boys’ vehicle were trotting slowly down the long grade, the front wheel slipped over an embankment, the wagonette cap- sized and went tumbling down fully forty feet into the gulch below. About fen feet from the top there was a large box culvert projecting out from the bank about three feet. This hindered the plunge of the rig downward, and it is believefi by all the boys who escaped without serious injury that this culvert saved their lives, foras soon as they struck it they attempted to climb out of the vehicle and jump. Foronly a few seconds, however, did the wagonette remain in this position. The four horses were unable to free them= selyes from the harness when they went over the embankment, and they fell on top of the large canopy covering. This extra weight snapped the boxing of the culvert, and wagon, horses and boys went cruninf through the trees to the gulch below, landing all in a heap. One boy was straddled on the brakerod, with ane other one on top of him and a large horse on top of both. The horses kicked and plunged, driving their hoofs with fury against the human bodies around them, All of the occupants of the vehicle mar- vel that more were not killed. The large wagonette was completely demolished and all four horses are dead. The rig was piled in a hopeless wreck, with the boys beneath it. The accident took place on the Toro grade, about seven miles from Monterey and on_the county road to Salinas, The roadbed by neglect has been atlowed to wash and wear away, so that the roadbed proper at the point of the accident is just ten and a half feet wide, while the other part of the road on both sides of the gulch is fully twenty-five feet wide. The hero of the party was John Willey, the 16-year-old son of R. H. Willey, an attorney of this city. He was the first to free himseif from ‘the wreckage at the bottom of the gulch. Then he 1mme- diately jumped in among the struggling horses and attempted to save his come panions.
