WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... AUG. 16, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. GENERAL BENJAMIN F. BUTLER is making a splendid run for the presidency in 1888. An earthquake in New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities on Sunday last varied the monotony by causing a scare and no damage. The Pacific Coast can no longer claim a monopoly in the temblor line. The Agricultural Department at Washington estimates the wheat crop of the United States for the present year at four hundred and eighty-five millions of bushels. We will have no famine for two years to come. Cleveland assumed the responsibility of a child to shield two married friends, and this explanation is perfectly satisfactory to Henry Ward Beecher. The Democracy is certainly in rough water and clutching at a very small straw in the scandal case. The assessment rolls for the present year having passed the scrutiny of the State Board of Equalization, show an increase of property values in the State during the year of nearly twenty five millions of dollars. Many of us would remain in total ignorance of our wealth did not the assessors inform us. The canning business has assumed enormous proportions, and is still rapidly increasing in importance. Statistics show that the annual production of canned fruit, meat, fish and vegetables in the United States aggregates five hundred million tons, or about ten tins for every man, woman and child in the country. A horrible story is told by the New York Times charging: the Greely survivors with cannabisism. It is alleged that the TESTIMONY FROM BUFFALO. It is somewhat remarkable that the attacks upon Grover Cleveland emanate principally from Buffalo, his home, where he ought to be popular and respected if he deserved to be. It ought to be a matter of pride with the Buffalo people to protect Cleveland's good name, because a patriotic people generally consider themselves personally gratified when one of their fellow-townsmen is honored in a conspicuous way. But the citizens of Buffalo do not consider themselves honored; on the contrary, they consider themselves disgraced, and the few who have come forward in Cleveland's defense have performed their task in a lukewarm and shamefaced way. Rev. Mr. Robinson, pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian Church, having a relative residing in Buffalo, whom he knew had facilities for knowing the truth or falsity of the charges against the moral character of Cleveland, wrote to him for information on the subject. The following letter was received in reply: BUFFALO, N. Y., July 29. MY DEAR BROTHER:—Yours of July 221 is at hand. The charges made against Grover Cleveland by the Evening Telegraph of this city are, without a doubt, strictly true. They have been denied by neither of the papers here which favor his candidacy. A prominent Democrat in conversation with me this afternoon, defended Mr. C. against the charge of seducing Maria Halpin by claiming that she was a loose woman previous to her intimacy with him. He did not deny that the Governor has a son by her. This is too well known in Buffalo to admit of denial. All of the Telegraph's charges are supported by overwhelming evidence, and there are other charges for which there is ample testimony. The Telegraph, up to about a year ago, was a good-for-nothing, little penny paper. At that time it passed into other and worthy hands, and though still an evening penny sheet, it is the cleanest paper in this city, always upon the side of law, of Salbath observance, of temperance and of religion. It has printed this scandal out of a solemn sense of duty, and only after consultation with and the approval of many CHICAGO, August story about Blanche with a woman whose last been given public city this morning about the matter in Bourbon county, Kentucky descriptive verbs: That in 1853 years ago, one Colonel had two schools near the Westion Military other a seminary for a young man, was the boys school, wore a stunning nodding plumes that he might have "Plumed Knight" the female deputy petite teacher to wives court, spending tween Friday evenings in her company; that began to go around signs of the resulting; that it became young woman was tortion; that the scandal that Blanche left, never has not been buryed. Thus is all. The man is not given any affidavits are public name except that offered, even that of whom the alleged act been made. Although made is very weak. It has been known proof-slips of this story of a number of persons for publication days ago Henry Ward Beecher journal said his paper, but that the story and explode he and his paper will find no counterenough. LOUISVILLE (Ky.) the Paris True Keeper printed at Paris, Kansas story, to the ed Blaine was teachin Ky., he had seduced girl who was teach fashionable boarding at Lexington. The that when the matter filled from popular young lady with his man, a semi-week which J. Stoddard The canning business has assumed enormous proportions, and is still rapidly increasing in importance. Statistics show that the annual production of canned fruit, meat, fish and vegetables in the United States aggregates five hundred million tons; or about ten times for every man, woman and child in the country. A horrible story is told by the New York Times charging the Greely survivors with cannabisism. It is alleged that the bodies brought back were mutilated in a shocking manner and the records of the inhumanity of the survivors has been given to the Navy department, constituting a terrible story of human suffering and maintenance of life by using the flesh of those who died from cold and starvation. At the Mechanics Fair in San Francisco an improved wine and color press is exhibited by the inventor, a Grass Valley man, who only secured a patent last December. It is rectangular in form, built of oak and iron, and will hold about 500 pounds. The pressure is obtained by a false sold in the storing box, which is pushed against the grapes horizontally by the turning of a crank at one end. The machine is now in use in Nevada county. The manufacture of sewing machines has reached a magnitude of great dimensions. According to the last census there are in the United States 106 sewing machine establishments with an invested capital of more than twelve millions, giving employment to ten thousand persons, paying them wages amounting to five million dollars yearly. It is but a few years since that there was much opposition to the sewing machine by the labor element on the ground that its use would deprive a large number of the labor class of the means of livelihood. Much of similar silly argument is being used in the present political campaign. As Albany dispatch to the New York World says: "A large number of those visiting the Executive Chamber are ladies, who call with their husbands and brothers to congratulate the Governor. Republican papers which are in the balist of calling Cleveland 'a moral leper' will please take notice." No Republican paper has so designated Mr. Cleveland. The expression was used by William Purnell, Democratic nominee for President Election at large in the State of New York, when asked his reason for resigning the nomination, and published in the New York Sun, the leading Democratic paper of the United States. Republican papers have merely published it as an interesting item of political news. San Diego Union. As the husbands and brothers of the ladies accompany them, there is no great danger that harm will befall them. Cleveland, ex-Sheriff of Erie county, New York, is not booming in a very rapid manner. All of the Telegraph's charges are supported by overwhelming evidence, and there are other charges for which there is ample testimony. The Telegraph, up to about a year ago, was a good-for-nothing, little penny paper. At that time it passed into other and worthy hands, and though still an evening penny sheet, it is the cleanest paper in this city, always upon the side of law, of Sabbath observance, of temperance and of religion. It has printed this so candid out of a solenin sense of duty, and only after consultation with and the approval of many of the leading men (including several of our most prominent ministers) of the city. As to his being a religious man, I cannot learn that he is a member of any church; that he ever rented a pew in any church, or in short was ever seen inside of any church in Buffalo. One of our ministers, I know, told him when he went to Albany that he ought to rent a pew in some church there, out of respect, at least, for the Christian people who voted for him. Some forty of our clergymen, embracing all denominations, present at one of our meetings recently, had never seen him nor heard of his ever being in church. I know of no first-class family in the city whose door has ever been open to him. Society never recognized him. I am an independent politician, and voted for Mr. C. for Governor. I did not then know these things. For some reasons, I know not what they were not brought out in the State campaign. Now, I would consider it a national disgrace to see him in the White House. For obvious reasons, as a minister of the gospel, I do not wish to become involved in politics. Please have regard to this wish in whatever use you make of this letter. School Statistics County School Superintendent Hinton has made his annual report. From it is copied the following statistics: Number of white children between five and seventeen years of age: boys, 7,029; girls, 6,982; total, 14,010. Number of negro children between five and seventeen years of age who live under the guardianship of white persons: boys, 16; girls, 17; total, 33. Total number of census children between five and seventeen years of age: 14,082. Number of children under five years of age: white, 6,096; negro, 25; Indian S; total, 6,127. Number of children between five and seventeen years of age who have attended public schools at any time during the school year: white, 9,010; negro, 25; Indian S; total, 9,039. Number of children between five and seventeen years of age who have attended only private schools at any time during the school year: white, 4,095; negro, 12; Indian S; total, 4,136. Number of Mongolian children under Mr. Cleveland. The expression was used by William Purnell, Democratic nominee for President, at large in the State of New York, when asked his reason for resigning the nomination, and published in the New York Sun, the leading Democratic paper of the United States. Republican papers have merely published it as an interesting item of political news. — San Diego Union. As the husbands and brothers of the ladies accompany them, there is no great danger that harm will befall them. Cleveland, ex-Sheriff of Erie county, New York, is not booming in a very rapid manner toward Washington. His availability as a presidential candidate is proving unavailable. The New York Sun says: Less than a month has passed since this available nomination was made, and how is it quoted now? Has availability gone up or down in that time? What has the Democratic party gained by lowering its standard of public merit, and by sacrificing its most splendid names to a promoted accident? It has gained, or hopes it has, some small quantity of votes, the votes of Republicans who hate it as badly as they hate Mr. Blaine, and who have intended to vote for Mr. Cleveland as being about the same thing as voting for a Republican. It has gained also, the county or great numbers of laboring men who have hitherto been willing to support it. It is safe to estimate that for every dissatisfied Republican whom the demi-Republicanism of the Democratic candidate has won over, it has turned two Democrats away disgusted. This is the fruit of putting up a candidate whose course, however sincere may have been the motive that prompted it, has only secured Republican votes by alienating Democratic. And now, to make this brilliant triumph of availability still more resplendent, the Democratic candidate must go through the campaign with the burden of an old scandal weighing him down. It is a wretched business. Surely, if mediocrity was to be honored and exalted by the Democrats, there was mediocrity enough to be found against which, in private life at least, no shameful accusation would be brought, and in whose defence no painful confession would have to be made. But to public abilities of the highest order, to private lives without a bluenish, the Democrats preferred availability! The result has been that already there is doubt where there should have been assured confidence, and the fatal seeds of division and disaster may be already springing up in fields where victory was looked for. If a woman loses her voice driving out the chickens, could she be called a blacksmith? She certainly would be a hoarse-shooer. New York, August 13.—A rumor that Chas. B. Henry, of the Greely expedition, was killed and a portion of the body eaten caused much excitement in the neighborhood of Cypress Cemetery. Application has been made to Coroner Robinson by persons not related to Henry, to have the body examined and an inquest held. The laws in this State, in cases where the person died outside of the State, but was buried in it, permit the Coroner of the county to determine whether there is cause to hold an inquest. The Coroner will take counsel on the matter to-day. The Times this morning publishes some additional statements concerning the horrible Arctic story of yesterday. It says the sailors now admit it. It is more than probable, the Times adds, that Dr. Octave Davy., the surgeon of the expedition, shared a similar fate to that of young Henry. Dr. Davy's body was one of the four swept out to sea. In Greene Co., Indiana, on Saturday night George Rankin, aged 19, was showing his brother James, aged 13, how to handle a self-cocking revolver, when the weapon was discharged, the ball striking James below the right eye, inflicting a fatal wound. George, thinking he had killed his brother, turned the revolver on himself and sent a ball through his breast, from the effects of which he died at noon. The death of his brother is expected.

Logan is the black man's railroad man's widow's friend; Hickman's friend; and Butler's friend. This leaves the Chinese without dential canvass. CHICAGO, August 10.—The long-promised story about Blaine's alleged peccadillions with a woman when he was a school teacher in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky has at last been given publicity. The Times of this city this morning published two columns about the matter under date of Millersburg, Bourbon county, Ky. Omitting unnecessary descriptive verbiage, the story is as follows: That in 1850-51, or nearly thirty-five years ago, one Colonel Thornton J. Johnston had two schools near Millersburg, one called the Westion Military Institute for boys, the other a seminary for girls; that Blaine, then a young man, was employed as teacher in the boys school, was called Major Blaine and wore a stunning military uniform, with nodding plumes [Correspondent suggests that he might have secured the title of "Plumed Knight" from this fact]; that in the female department was a pretty and petite teacher to whom Blaine paid assiduous court, spending most of his time between Friday evening and Monday morning in her company; that after a time whispers began to go around that there were visible signs of the result of all this billing and cooing; that it became an open secret that the young woman was in an interesting condition; that the scandal broke up the school; that Blaine left, never to return, and that not long after the young woman also left and has not been heard of since. This is all. The name of the young woman is not given. A number of alleged affidavits are published, in which every name except that of Blaine is carefully omitted, even that of the alleged notary before whom the alleged affidavits profess to have been made. Altogether the accusation is made is very weak. It has been known for some time that the proof-slips of this story were in the possession of a number of leading Democratic papers for publication. In New York a few days ago Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal said it had been offered to his paper, but that his men had investigated the story and exploded it, and that as far as he and his paper were concerned, it would find no countenance. LOUISVILLE (Ky.), August 11.—In 1876 the Paris True Kentuckiana, a weekly paper printed at Paris, Ky., published a scandalous story, to the effect that while James G. Blaine was teaching school at Georgetown, Ky., he had seduced a pretty New England girl who was teaching in Miss Jackson's fashionable boarding school for young ladies at Lexington. The same paper also declared that when the matter became public Blaine fled from popular indignation, taking the young lady with him. The Frankfort Yeoman, a semi-weekly Democratic organ, of which J.

Blaine was teaching school at Georgetown, Ky., he had seduced a pretty New England girl who was teaching in Miss Jackson's fashionable boarding school for young ladies at Lexington. The same paper also declared that when the matter became public Blaine led from popular indignation, taking the young lady with him. The Frankfort Neo-man, a sent-weekly Democratic organ, of which J. Stoddard Johnson is the editor, followed up the story printed in the Paris Kentuckian with another one of much the same import. Shortly after the scandals had begun to go the rounds and not long before the National Republican Convention of 1876, the Louisville Courrier sent a reporter to investigate the charges, and the result was the complete vindication of the statesman's character and the lady's virtue. The Courrier Journal at that time editorially disproved the charges. A representative of the New York Herald, who had been sent to Scot and Payette counties to inquire into the tense awareness of the scandal, returned to Louisville today. To-night, in conversation with your correspondent, this gentleman declared that the charges were utterly without foundation, and had been invented by a few old maids and village gossips who envied the young woman and her dashing lover. What he Vetoed The bill regarding hours of labor that Grover Cleveland vetoed was passed by the New York Legislature at its last session and read as follows: SECTION 1. On and after the passage of this Act it shall be unlawful for any officer or agent of any railroad corporation in any of the cities of this State whose cars are drawn by horses, to exact from conductors or drivers employed by them more than a twelve hours' labor for a day's work, and such corporations shall out of said twelve hour's labor allow such conductors and drivers a reasonable time to obtain meals. SEX. 2. Any officer or agent of any such corporation who shall openly violate or otherwise evade the provisions of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not to exceed three hundred dollars or imprisonment not to exceed six months or both fine and imprisonment for such of fines. Cleveland declared this to be class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. But why should he have prevented the test of its constitutionality being made before the Court? The laborers referred to had the right to test it. They were and are entitled to protection from the slavery of necessity to which the street railways of New York hold the key. The people were entitled to service by men not overworked. Suppose railroads worked their switchmen and dispatchers such hours as to render their service a serious risk to the traveling public, shall that not be prohibited by a specific act directed toward that class? Notoriously the car employees of New York are overworked, and the State has a right in its own interest to forbid it, and of right, in the interest of the employees, it should intervene.

NASHVILLE (Tenn.), August 12.—An organization established by a Mormon elder in Lewis and Hickman counties, in this State, about three years ago, was broken up on Sunday by the killing of all the elders by a band of masked men. Mr. Depriest, United States mail carrier to Bowen, Ivy Mills and Centerville, Hickman county, gives the following account of the massacre: "Three elders were leading a meeting at Mr. Conder's farm, Cane creek, Lewis county, Sunday morning, when twelve masked men on horseback rode up to the house and ordered a young man named Hutson and young Conder to surrender. They showed tight and one of the masked men knocked Conder down, breaking his skull. Hutson then fired and one of the masked men fell dead. He was found to be Dave Hinson, a citizen of Hickman county. He lived at Brush Fork, on Beaver dam. The masked men then shot and killed two of the Mormon elders. The third elder ran toward the woods, from which firing was soon afterward heard, and, as the elder has not been seen since, it is supposed he also was killed. It has since been ascertained that the masked men, before going to Mr. Conder's farm, stopped at the house of a man named Garrett, near Mr. Conder's house, and found a Mormon elder there. They left two masked men in charge of this elder. Shooting was heard there shortly afterward, and that elder has not been since seen. When the firing commenced at Mr. Conder's house one of the elders hid behind Mrs. Conder, and in shooting at him Mrs. Conder was wounded." Hutson was buried today. The scene at Conder's house was terrible. The form of Hutson lay where it fell, his shotgun at his side and his horse tied a few feet from his head snorting and trembling in its fright. Just inside the front door lay the body of a Mormon elder, his brains scattered on the wall and floor and on the greensward beneath the window lay the other elder with a load of buckshot in his breast. Logan is the black man's friend, Blaine is the railroad man's friend, Cleveland is the widow's friend, Hendricks is the rebel's friend, and Butler is the laboring man's friend. This leaves the newspaper men and the Chinese without any friend in the presidential canvass. The Georgia Democratic Convention met and nominated the present Governor, H. D. McDaniel, for Governor.

Late advices from Vera Cruz, Mexico, say that myriads of locusts have appeared in that State, and notwithstanding a large quantity were killed the greatest destruction has resulted. In Yucatán and Southern Mexico a hundred square miles of the country are covered with the pests, and the corn, grass and other crops are destroyed. It is said that a thousand families who are dependent on small crops will have to be supported by the Government during the next six months.

It is supposed to have been printed from a wood cut, but it is likely to deceive ordinary judges of money. It is of the series of 1884, G. W. Scofield, Register; James Gilfillan Treasurer. The note is one-quarter of an inch shorter than the genuine. The paper is composed of two thin layers, with silk parallel lines of fiber between them. In the star in the back, where it should read, "and all public does and when so received," the word "all" is entirely omitted, and the words "when so" are run together as one word. There are numerous other defects which judges of paper money will readily discover. Notice.
