With hi, plan, for a Kiwi rest at Washington disarranged by the action of the Delaware escort committee. Will. InmJ. Bryan started out from Ilaltlmore thta morning at 0:26 o'clock for Dover, Del., to All mi engagement to speak this afternoon. It wa, a wearisome beginning of the week's campaign ing. Mr. Bryan might liar, remained over nlitlit at Washington and hare taken a train fruni there at 7:80 A, M. that would hare biought htm to Dorerln plenty of time, but the lielanara committee told him he wonld be obliged to ko to Baltimore last night and taka the tli'.'S Pennsylvania Railroad train to oblige people at Porter's Station. Del., a plaoe that would have been omitted from'the Itinerary It lie had gono on the later train. Mr. llryan wa, up at S o'clock, after a few hours' sleep, lie left the Carrollton Hotel In Baltimore In company with Jotephu, Daniels, National Committeeman from North Carolina, who will accompany him to New England, and with John F. Salisbury and Itlchard R, Ken ner, the Delaware escort committee, proceeded In a carriage to the Union station and boarded the Pennsylvania train leaYlnir at 0:29. The first incident of the day wa, at Havre da Grace, wheru a score of people boarded the day coach In which Mr. Bryan was sitting and shook his tore hand. At Perry ville, lust across the Sua quebshna Hirer, and at North Kaat mora peo ple entered the car. The first chser of the day was given at Elkton, reached at 8:11, About lHty persons made up the crowd. At nearly every station somebody explained to Mr. Bryan that his early coming would disappoint many who were relying on adherence to theaohedule which tlio Delaware committee had oaused to be changed. ov it. Del., Sept, 21, At Newark Mr. Bryan changed cars to a little branch line that carried him to Porter's Station, six miles away. Some Dclan are college boys at Newark gar him an i rlglnal Urj an j ell, and Mr. Bryan went out on the platform and shook hands with them. When he reached Porter's he found there not the hundreds of excursionists on whose ac count be had been persuaded to lose his night's rest but the members of the Dover reception committee. It was for their sake that Mr. l)ran had been routed oat of bed and rushed to an early train before his eyes were fairly open In the Dellef that he would disappoint a great crowd it he did not make the connection for Porter's. The journey from Porter's to Dorer was mad orerthe Delaware dlrlsion of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Bryan was accompanied by the Dorer reception committee, and a delegation from the Young Men's Democratic Club of Wil mington. Among those In the Dorercommitte, were I Irving Ilondy, Democratlo candidate for Congress, ex-Gor. Robert J. Reynolds, and ex-Secretary of State John D. Hawkins. Mid dletown had out a brass band and about 300 persons. Mr. Bryan made his first Uttie speech of the day there. He said that every commu nity he entered was solicitous about his voice null anxious for him to speak there and not to peak auywncro else. He Intended, he said, to ate his voice as much as possible and keep II. all through the campaign, and he wanted eacn of his hearers to make a ellrer speech at the polls on election day. The crowd cheered as the train drew out. Ex Gor. J. 1'. Cockran Joined Mr. Bryan at Mlddie tosrn. 'mere were more cheers at Clayton, hut Mr. Hr an did not make a speech. Mr. Bryan ascertained definitely to-day that he would make two addresses in Brooklyn Instead of one, and that the speech scheduled for Wednesday next had not been postponed until SDt. 2D. Mr. Bryan reached Dorer at 10:32 A. M. A big crowd at the railway station gare htm a cheer and then followed his carriage through the streets to the Capital Hotel, to whloh be was accompanied br Gov. Watson, A short In formal reception was held, and when It was orer Mr. Bryan was spirited ont ot a side door down to the bouse of Gen. It. K. Kenney, where be immediately went to bed to make up some of tit ilef p he bad lost. .Much refreshed by his nap. Mr. Bryan went from Gen. Kenney's to the Capital Hotel, where ! he bad dinner, and then proceeded to the Stat Fair ground, wbsro 5.000 persons, seated on the grand stand and gathered on ihe track and enclosure, received htm with cheers. Among tliosenn the speaker's stand were Gov. Watsou, ex-Gcr. Reynolds. Ebe W. Tunnell of Lewis, Democratic candidate for Gnrarnor: John H. HoCtcler. the Addlcks candidate for Governor: L. In mg Handy. Democratic candidate for Con gress; ex-Congressinen causey and Penning ton, Congressman Willis, and Judge D. T. Mar vel ol the Superior Court. The state Fair will begin to-morrow and many of the side-show people had put up their tents and were giving performanres. Pickpockets were alio on band, and oue ot them was cap tured. Mr. Bryan was introduced- by ex-Con-grn-man John A. Nicholson at 2 o'clock. Just after he began to speak many ot those In the rear of the platform began shouting for the can didate to turn in their direction. The noise bo came so annoying that Mr. Bryan was obliged to stop and appeal for quiet. This did not bare the desired erlect, and others added their ap peals to his. Quiet was secured Dually, and Mr. llryan proceeded without further annoyance. His speech was in part as follows: "I want to talk to you awhile about onr finan cial condition. If things are good then there I, no reason why we should niako any change lu legislation. If our present condition Is satlsfac tort, then we ought to lcare it alone and not inak. a change. No one can advocate any kind of remedial legislation except on the theory thai there is something that needs remedying. Our opponents confess the condition, and when I tell ) ju that on cannot remedy the present condition erept by financial legislation, our oppo lents -ay ihat the trouble is In the tariff Question, and that if we could Just have mora tarin then time, would get good again. I want ti read ) oti nn extract from a speech made on last -aturdn) by the Republican candidate ror 1'resident nt Canton. He raid : Under the Re publican protective policy wo enjoyed for more than thirty ears tho most marvellous prosperity thai hut uver been given to any nation of the worll. We not only had Individual prosperity, hut we had national prosperity.' "Now there is a statement made within a week by the Presidential candidate on the Ke P jolintii ticket, pointing back for thirty years, from 1MU0 to lr.00, and telling the people that d iring that period wo enjoyed the most mar-vellou- prosperity or any nation In the world, ami thai we bad both Individual prosperity and r.at.onal prosperity. I want to show vim t) this tame witness' very testimony, given six intra ago. that after thirty ears of hs Und of policy tho farmers of this country were not prosperous.

"Let me call your attention to another thing which Prince Bismarck snld. Our opponents tell us that we are arraying one class against another. Let me show you what Prince Blsmnrrk has said In regard to the classes on the questions which concern agricul tural depression.

"My Irlends, divide society Into two classes; on tho one side put the non-producers and on tho other side put the producers of wealth, and you will and that in this country the majority of the laws arc made by the non producers instead of the producers of wealth, and Just as long as the non-producers make the laws Just ao long It will be moro profitable to bo a non-producer or wealth." WiLMINCiToxf. Del., hept. 21. On the trip Xrom Dover to Wilmington Mr. Bryan made a short apeeoh In New Castle, where a stop of about half an hour was made, to a large audience. His car was detached, tear ing the train to proceed to Wilming ton, ana was picked up again by an exonrslon special. He reached Wilmington ata:S0o'clock, and was recelred at the railway station by ser eral hundred, perhaps a thousand, persons, who cheered him heartily. He was escorted hy the local reception committee to the Clayton House. This evening Mr, Brran addressed about 6,000 rsople In the Auditorium. The building was packed, and when the doors were ODened there was a terrible rush and some womsn were badly bruted. When Mr.Bryan entered the Auditorium there was a wild outourstnf applause. Irving Handy, Democratlo candidate for Congress, intro duced him. Mr. Handy, In his presentation speech, mentioned the name of William Mc Ivlnley, and there was an Immediate response from the audience. Cheers, hisses, and groans were Intermingled for a minute or two. Mr. Bryan said: ' I want to talk to yon awhile to-night about tho financial policy of the Government. I ask our attention to two features of the financial question. First, what uso shall wo make of the silver dollars already in existence ? becond, shall we have any more silver dollars Sut Into existence? In the first place our silver ollar is not redeemable in cold by law. Our silver dollar Is a legal tender for all debts, public and private, unless the contract ex pressly excludes the silver dollar. Our Government has a right to pay every coin obligation In either gold or sliver, whichever the lio eminent desires. Ap- Elause. Furthermore this Government as nogold obligation except gold notes and frr erery note there is a gold dollar In thn Treasurr ready to pay it. This Government has nogold bonds. This Government has no paper outstand ing excepting the gold notes upon which gold can legally lie demanded. What use shall wo make of the sliver dollar? The Chicago platform declares that the ellver dollar shall be used Just as the gold dollar is and that the Government shall not discriminate In faror of one or against the other In the treatment of coin. 1 speak of this be cause all the conditions of which we complain are brought about by the failure of the Govern ment to exercisi Its rights to redeom its coin obligations In either gold or silver." Mr. Bryan also said: "If this Government Is going to admit that It depends for Its financial existence upon the banking firms, one foreign Rothschild and one domestic Morgan then pnts itself where those people can change this Government whatever they please. I am not rouchof a financler.butray Idea Is that. Instead of hiring those men to let us alone, we ought to try them as they do any other men who conspire against the Govern ment and punish them for conspiring against the country." unsBiiAir wishes ne hadn't. Sorry Ha Threateaad to Pat Alt the Bis. eat Ilea Oat sfTsvnssr, John C. Sheehan was sorry yesterday that be had said so much about traitors to Brran and Bewail in the Tammany Hall organization. HI, threat to discipline some of the best men In the organization. If they persist In their opposi tion to the Chicago platform and ticket, raised such a storm of protest about his ears that ho considered it politic to disavow one sentence In the statement which he fathered the day before. The sentence which he thinks was a bit too harsh and which should be modified Is: "No man can remain a member of Tammany nail who does not vote the straight National and State tickets next November." Thn modification which Mr. Sheehan sug gested was that such a man could not be con sidered a trnsted member ot tne organization. To a reporter of The Scn he said he would Ilka to have the sentence altogether eliminated. This will lead him, saying that a member who does not do bis best to help elect Bryan and Eewall will hate no standing In the organiza tion and will be marked as a traitor. It was suggested yesterday ibat Mr. Sheehan would like to lose the other sentence because it nroposed fealty to thn State ticket about which Tammany now has some " traitorous " emotions of its own. POPVLISTH DEKAMt 1TAXSOX, A. Farmer's Alliance Orsss Bare It Is Watson or Bole. Ralcioii. N. C. Sept. 21. Tho Proorrjwirs Farmer, the organ of tho National Farmers' Alliance, to-night gives notice It will bolt Bryan unless Watson Is on the ticket- It warns the Populist Executive Committee not to accept Democratlo propositions for a division of elec toral votes In North Carolina, and says: " Woe be unto both committees If the attempt to thwart the will of the peoplo und cast the electoral vote for that arch-gold hug, Aithur bewail of Maine. This will be dune directly or Indirectly If the Democratic proposition Is ac cepted of five Populist Electors and six Demo cratic elector. Th s Is an actual condition, not a theory, Sewall Is dragging Bryan down dangerously near defeat. If tho Democratlo Executive Committee has power to gls e five out of eleven electors to Watson, It has power to settle the entire trouble by mulling it Bryan and Watson. Give Watson with Bryan, or else Nor ton and Watson will be the tlckrtof the farm ers and meuhanlcs of this country." Naaied for the Assembly. A. O.

FLUNKED THE WATEliDUEL XECKAIt WAS JtBADT AT TltK HOSE, JIBT WORTH fllfJA'T COMA. lie Waa tha fhalleacter. bnt Sent tVord that lie Conldn't Utnad the l'nnltcltrs and niaannolated a lite Crowd-Then tba Firemen Clave II I in a, Ilnrlesqne rlerenada John Worth, assistant engineer ot tha Union Uttl Fir, Department, will have to hustle ror months to redeem th, reputation as a fireman that he lost Inside of half an hour last night. Over S.GOO citizens of Union Hill turned out on the Broadway Boulevard to tea htm fight a duel with fire bote with Assistant Foreman William Neekar of Columbia Hose No, 2. Keokar was on deck nt 0 o'clook at the fighting ground with the nozzle ot Columbia hose in his hand, ready to begin the duel. Ho waited In rain for half an hour for Engineer Worth. The latter didn't appear or send a note of apology, and th, disappointment of the citizens found rent In the unanimous verdict "Johnny Worth Is worth nit In th, department after this." For tha benefit of benighted New Yorker, who nerer witnessed the thrilling spectacle of a duel with fire hose It should be explained that the chief requirement of the battle was that the two combatants should stand thirty fast apart and squirt streams of water at each other until one or the other dropped his nozzle and took to his heels. When the fact Is stated that the water pres sure of Union Hill Is great enough to throw a tream of water seventy-five feet Into the air without the aid ot a fire engine It will be under (tood that the duel was something or a porten tous undertaking. It struck squarely In the ohest by the stream from the nozzle of the hose either duellos t would have been Instantly sent pinning head over heels. What added to the Intensity ot the feeling In Engineer Worth's disfavor last night was the fact that It was he who was the author of the remarkable challenge. The challenge grew out ot an Incident at the practice " wash down" of the Columbia Company last Tuesday night. Once every month during May. June. July, and August tho company meets for fire praotlce on the vacant sward at the Broadway Boulevard between Fourth and Firth streets. The praotlce Includes steam throwing, hose laying, and management of tho hose nozzle, which Is a task requiring skill. Worth, who Is a shoe dealer, volunteered to go Into actlvo fire service as a member of the Colum bia Hose, and, as Is usnai, tha members ar ranged to Initiate him hy giving him a ducking. Worth backed out from this ordeal of being drenched with water, and the sixty members guied him unmercifully. Neckar. who is an undertaker as well as a fireman, was particu larly Jocular. He succeeded In nettling Worth. " I'll bet I can stand as mneh wetting as any fireman In tb, department," cried Worth to thn crowd that stood around in Martin Fllon's cafe on Fourth street. "For how much money?" queried Under taker Neckar. tanntlngly. " For enough lo buv the suppers for the en tiro company." retorted Worth. "I'll go you 1" cried Neckar. delighted. "We'll flghladuelat 0 P.M. on Monday night." and the agreement was clinched, with Fllon and Foreman Phil Dlenerof the Columbia and Hro Chief Getchw Indt as w itnestes. The sixty firemen of tho Columbia hoso decked the hose cart gaylyand marched from the engine house on Bergen street at tl:ii) o'clock last night. Ahead marchsd the Lincoln fife and drum corps, composed of sons or the firemen and vet erans ot the town. So great was the popular lntnrnst In the expected duel that Illuminated trolley cars were run to the duelling ground from all parts or Hoboken and Union Hill. The young men took their best girls with them on the trolley cars, and by a quarter ot U, when the Columbia Hose reached the scene, both tides or the Boulevard were Jammed wltb sightseers. The crowd set up an echo'ng cheer as the Ore laddies came dash ing into the arena. Undertaker Neckar was recognized by hundreds In the throng. The girls clapped ibelr handset him. and the men gave him a ringing round ot buzzahs. Two long lines ot hose were uncoiled In double quick time by the firemen. " Where the thunder is Worth ?" bellowed the fire laddies when they found that the challenger hadn't arrived yet. "Worth! Worth! Where le Worth T" roared the crowd of spectators Impatiently. Under taker Nectar, who waa In a plain cutaway suit, growled at the absence of his rival, and, hltoh ing one line of hose to ablg hydrant at the Fifth street corner of the Boulevard, walked down till be reached the nozzle end and waited. Fore man Dlemer hitched the other hose to another big hydrant at tbe Fonrth street corner and wailed. Then the crowd took up the yell again. " Worth ! Worth 1 W here la Worth ?" Fifteen mlnntes passed and still there was no sign nt the challenger. The firemen were an noyed. "Give them a show, Billy." they j elled to Un dertaker Neckar. "Don't let us disappoint the ladles anyhow." The undertaker waited ten minutes longer and then gave the word to an assistant to turn the water on. He held the hose, and the water shot upward In a parabolic shower fifty reet In thn air. The arch glistened llko arambow In the sheen of electric light. Iho under taker sprayed the stream, ssnt It up straight like a skyrocket, made it cut the figure 8, and did other tricks that made the girls applaud admlrlnglr. Foreman Dlemer set his bydiant going presently, and shot a column of water eren higher into the air, and tho electrlcHlgbilshoi Irrldescent hues over tbe showers of spray. Both men kept It up for a quarter of an hour and then shut the hydrants down. rive minutes after it was all over a man came with a erbal message from the missing Worth. "Hnsas there has been too much publicity over this thing." the messenger said, "and that he rather thinks the Joxn is on Neckar." Hundreds of the spectators turned away dis gusted when they neard the reason for tbe in terruption of the night's fun. Some of the fire men were mad clear through, and talked of expelling Worth at tho next meeting. Cooler counsels prerailed, Ihongh. home of the older hesds said that Worth would have been foolish to risk the danger of pneumonia In fac ing nn avalanche of water on a chilly night. Neckar said he wos not afraid of tho oold. The men spectators growled In disappointment. Homebody rigged up two banners of linen, on each of which waa painted the inscription: " Where is Worth ?" The Lincoln fife and drum corns formed In line in front of the men, who lifted the banners high In air. Then the fire laddies seized tbe ropes of Columbia hose, and, forming two nbrc-ast. dragged it after them, tramping to the shrll music of the drums and fires. Tho crowd followed, cheering and shout ing for Worth. Tho eirls In tho crowd laughed as ihn banners were swayed so that eerybody nlong tne route would be sure to see them. Thn Columbia boys hod made up their minds to give Worth a burlesque serenade In revenge for thn trick ho played on the 2.600 cillnus who had come out to see tliewaterduel. And that's Just why Johnny Worth will have to hump himself if ho expects to get hack bis old popularity. JITS JIEAJt WAS STVCK IX THE MUD.

On Sept. 0 ten Insurgonts started to attack a band of Spanish guerrilla, about a mile and a halt from Las Vegas, prov ince of Hat ana. On tho way they saw a column of Spanish troops approaching, and to avoid being surrounded they retreated to some high brush near by. As the Spanish troops passed tha Insurgents fired a volley, killing two anil wounding three. Tho Spaniards fired, but hit no one. Tho column then went to Ihe planta tion of Pablo Diaz, near the village ot Las Vegas. There were twenty-five persona on this planta tion, i-lx ot whom hid In tho cane. The re maining nineteen were six men. five women, and eight children. Col. Agullera, commandor of the Spanish column, asked If they had not seen tho Insurgents. They replied that they had not seen any one. Tho commander then ordered the troops to kill nil. The six mon were placed In lino nnd shot. Tho women nnd children wero butohersd with bayonets and machetes. The guerrillas went to Las Vegas and boasted of what thoy bad done. Tho Havana papers re ported this as an encounter between a large party of Insurgonts and a Spanish column from Nueta Paz, commanded by Col. Agullera. The papers say that tho insurgents were completely routed, nineteen wero lott dead on the field, and many killed nnd wounded wore carried away by the Insurgents. On the 10th this rame Col. Agullera went with his troops from Nuova Par. toward the Central plantation, near that plaoe. On the way they came to a homo In which thero were three small children. The oldest was 10 years old. Tho Colonel asked them where tholr parents were. The children said that they had cone to gather fu I for their breakfast. Col. Agullera thon or dered tho troops to lock the bouso and set fire to It. 'Ihe troops at first refused to dolt. Tbe Colonel then told them It was a military order, and every man who refused to obey would be court mnrtlaled and shot. The troops then obojed bis order. The houso and children were burned. On the same day Col. Agullera went to Ma rengo, about three miles from Nueva Paz. On the road he met an old man about 70 years old named Agular, accompanied by two colored men who were carrylnc vegetables to tho vil lage. Thesu three men w ere killed by the Span ish troops. The body of A gular was thrown Into n is ell, and the bodies of tho two negroes were cm to pieces with machetes and thrown Into a small cava. 1 ne largo Increase In the number or arrests hi re Is now being attributed ns much to Porrun, Ibocitil Governor or thn nrownceof lias ana. as tiiWojItr.

On Saturday afternoon tho pile driver which haa been on tho hay ofrtho Edgemero Hotel for a week began, driving piles in Norton's Creek under the direc tion of Contractor John O'ConnellorNewYork, who has been authorized by the Landcaster Soa Beach Improv ement Company to dam the creek. Each succeeding storm widens the stream, and i It now seems that unless something Is dona ' ' tbe big hotel built two years Lgo just west of " tbe creek will be undermined and carried out to' S sea. The peoplo or this village, as represented-" -by the Board of Health, are etrongly opposed to I closing this waterway. They contend that it I would be greatly detrimental to the health of . the place, as tho sewage which now takes It, t course through the creek wo jld spread to tha ' adjacent meauows. causing contagious disease. , As soon as the report reached them that tho Landcaster peoplo had commenced work with the pile drivers the Board of Health went to thn i scene of action, where they found O'Connell I bnrd at work. When Mr. Bench. President of I tbe Board of Health, urdored him to stopO'Con- hell retorted in strong language.

"I will order Constable Johnson to shoot." "Shoot, nnd be damned!" replied O'Connell, "I will tnke a Uttlo hand in tho game myself, No shooting was done, however, nor was there nn) turning on of the hose. O'Connell received the documents which President Roach handed him which gave hlui legal notice lo slop tha work. Ho glanced contemptuously at them and ordered his men lo go on with their work.
