Parties familiar with Globe
Mills cassimeres need only a
hint. Our pants stock today
shows lines of these goods in
winter weight, and the price
is $5 instead of $7 or $8.
This is certainly a generous
price for such fine material,
stylish shape and strong sew
ing, and should be taken ad
vantage of by those who wish
high qualities at the very
bottom of price.
We wish extravagant peo-
" pie to see a line of the finest,
most elegant Montagonac
Beaver Overcoats just in from
our custom department.
PRICE $40.
Particular people to see fall
and winter overcoats ranging
in price from $13 to $20.
Not particular, $S to $12;
and not particular at all, $2.25
to $5.
In this long range, $2.25 to
$40, a man ought certainly to
find one overcoat to every way
suit him.
We can head you off with
fall derbys for $1.50, $2 or
$2.50, and we've only begun
the hat season. Soft hats as
well. Boys' caps better. We
have variety enough to suit
the most fastidious.
There is a day or two or
three in a month when gum
coats are essential to health
and comfort. Will you think
of them a day like this ? The
very poorest of gossamers $ 1 ,
to the best of pure gum. war
ranted, at $7, are here in com
plete lines of sizes. For $2,
$2-5, $3. or $3.50, you get a
good, serviceable rain excluder
without dickering.
Underwear for men at about
25 per cent, less prices than
you think of paying.

lort that ex-Town Treasurer Josiah Carter
has been arrested for embezzlement of the
town funds. The amount of the deficiency
Is said to be SS0.000. The selectmen were
In session all day today, and the arrest took
the form of a summons by Sheriff
Xash demanding Carter's presence before
Judge Tucker this evening. The hearing
was private. Carter" is 70 years old, a
carpet-dealer, and has always been regarded
as a most estimable man. He w as town
treasurer for twenty years. He was an
easy-going, kind-hearted man, and his
methods of book-keeping were very care
less. He declined to serve when re-elected
In 18S3 because the selectmen had discov
ered that he was 53,000 short Carter has
transferred all his property within the last

A SUPREME TRIUMPH !
Magnificent Ovation to Gen. Bobert
Kennedy at Bellefontaine
Last Night.
P.
Spring nrlJ Depopulate Itaelt to Do Hon
or to Iter Hero A Furlong of Conch
es Loaded to sjnITorratlon A
Demonstration that Will
Be Historic.
General Kennedy said Friday night from
the steps of his own resldeuce, after the
crowd had surged down there from the pub
lic square: "I bid )ou a hearty welcome to
these grounds. We have prepared a lunch
for you, but If everybody Is not served,
please remember we did not expect all of
Springfield to come up tonight"
When it was first proposed that the
workingmen of Springheld should tender
General Kennedy an ovation at his own
house, those In the head of the movement
expected to take 1,200 or 1,500 ieopie. As
matters developed from day today, they
had their Idea of the crowd somewhat
exalted and Friday afternoon thought
possibl) two thousand men might go up, so
arranged for running two sections of ten
cars each, which would accommodate that
number. But when the people began gath
ering at the depot shortly after six o'clock
last night, they began to wonder what they
would do with them all. Before the second
section had backed into the jard It was dis
covered that the aecomoditions were not
sufficient and a third section was hastily
made up. Fully
THREE TIIOISAM) PEOPLE
were finally carried out of the city to do
honor to the next congressman from the old
reliable Eighth district.
At the depot and on tne streets, and In
the Market square, nearly as many more
people w ere gathered, men and women,
w orklngmen and citizens, to see this out
pouring of enthusiastic republicans bent on
doing honor to Bob of Logan. Bands were
pla) ing. and the crowd was surging, and
men were trylnc to find a way of getting on
cars which were already loaded out to the
lower step.
Several transparencies were observed,
which w ere afterwards seen in the proces
sion at Bellefontaine. One bore these
words on Its four sides: "Antietam and
South Mountain." "Capt Kennedy, bring
the battery ot artillery here at once." "23d
O. V. I., 2d Ileut. capt, ass't adj. gen.. It
col ," "Brev. brig gen.. It gov. of Ohio,
congress Sth dlst" This had been prepared
by Comrade Henry, of Gen. Kenned) 's old
regiment On a three cornered affair were
the words : "Stick to old Logan county."
"John II. Thomas. Pie In 18S4. Politics
in lbS8." This Is what knocks," with a
representation of one of Gen. Bob's famous
gavels. On still another, "In the sweet of
thy face thou shalt eat bread." "Let 'er go
Gallagher." "Springfield worklngmeu's
Kennedy club." Very conspicuously In the
crowd at Bellefontaine, also, ap
peared an immense gavel, made
up of an old barrel with
the ends knocked out and muslin stretched
over, and mounted on a long stick for a
handle. "
The first section of eleven cars pulled out
of the Springfield depot at 7 o'clock, rail
road time, and the second section about fif
teen minutes later. Every caron these two
sections was loaded clear out to the lower
steps and almost
EVERT SEAT CARRIED THUEE
persons. It came about as near as an) thing
could, to holding on by the e) ebrows. The
cars avenged fully one hundred passengers
each. The third section of eleven cars,
which was made up Impromptu, to carry
what was left behind by the others, was
not so crowded, everybody having a good,
comfortable seat These cars averaged
about CO people each.
The first section arriv ed at Bellefontaine
a short time before nine o'clock and the
men were at once formed In line and
marched up Chllllcothe street to Main and
then through the principal streets back to
the court house. On Main street in front of
the court house the procession passed be
tween double lines of the Bellefontaine
Kennedy club, by whom the Springheld
boomers were greeted with a magnificent
display of roman candles, rockets and other
fire works. Throughout the entire line of
march, the private residences, business
houses and offices were brilliantly lighted
up and ducorated with Chinese lanterns.
aid the effect was striking In the extreme.
On Columbus street was an arch with the
word "Welcome," and decorated profusely
in bunting and Chinese lanterns.
Each of the other sections as It arrived
went through the same proceedings as the
first as to reception and marching and coun
termarching, all bringing up in the end at
the court house grounds. A platform had
been erected in front of that temple of Jus
tice, from which the speaking took place.
As it is estimated that seven thousand peo
ple were in the town, from the county and
surrounding villages, before tbe arrival of
the Springheld delegations. It ma) easil) be
surmised that all the v isitors did not get
within hearing of the speakers. In the
street a fearful din was kept up, which cut
the range of the speakers' voices still
shorter. But several thousand people gath
ered around the platfonn and joined in the
cheering and applaus w hicli greeted the
striking points.
Hon. Duncan Dow, president of the
Bellefontaine Kennedy club, rapped the as
sembly to order at about ten o'clock and
presented Wm. Marot of the Kennedy
Worklngmeu's club of Springfield, as the
chairman of the evening.
Mr. Marot said: "General Kennedy and
citizens of Logan county: I have a pleas
ant duty to perform. I have been chosen
by my fellow-w orklngmen to present them
to )ou. You have hea'd, and the world
has heard of the labor trouble in our town,
and how the democratic party lias sought to
fasten the
ACTIOS OF ONE MAN
on our party, and how it lias been said that
the workingmen of old Clark would forget
the past of the republican party,
Its glorious record In favor of
freedom and right and that, to
revenge themselves ononeindivlduahwhom
they consider has done them a wrong, they
would desert the party and vote against
)ou, the chosen standard bearer. We
workingmen of Springfield, come to say to
)Outhatit Is false. We come, over two
thousand strong, to tender )ou ouralk
gience as the chosen standard-bearer of the
party. We pride ourselves In following the
standard of one who stood so firmly as ) o j
did for human rights and against public
wrong, last winter.
Fellows of the Kennedy Workingmen's
club and fellow citizens of Clark county,
this is our Bob, the democratic King Bob,
OUR NEXT COKORESSMAX.
General, we are workingmen with
our hands for ourselves and our fami
lies, and we propose to be workingmen
In this political campaign. We will stay
In the fight and see to it that ou are our
next congressman. Loud applause.
General Kennedy was receiv ed w ith great
applause and said: "My fellow-cltlzens
and men of the Workingmen's club of
Springfield, I did not exjiect all of Spring
field up here tonight, but ) ou hav e come
and you hav e made a grand demonstration.
I ought not to forget the magnificent turn
out ) ou made last ) ear w hen 1 was a can
didate for lieutenant governor, and OU
came up to pay) our respects, nor the hand
some returns )ou gave later at the election.
And I believe )ou will
CIIVI. THE USL'AI. MAJOIHTV
thls fall. I might as well have tried to
make a speech at Antietam as to you to
night with all this din about But there
are some things I want to say to you. Last
winter the democrats were denouncing tne
from ocean to ocean. They called mo a
king, a despot They said I had no re
spect for law, that I did not
even take into my confidence the republi
cans. Yet all this time the republicans
were standing-back of me. Now, they are
going about saying I have no backbone,
that I am simply asserting the opinions of
somebody else, that I am being handled by
somebody else. Now they are telling that
because I am a follower, I am going to
break up the republican party. Well, 1 im
a republican, nnd while I have not been
afraid to assert my opinions heretofore, I
will never be afraid hereafter. I will say
that no man holds a club ever me. In all
councils of honest men I will not be so ob
stinate as not to council with or believe
those who are as good republicans as my
self. It has been said that Bob Kennedy
once said a w orkingmau was not entitled to
more than sevent)-five cents per day.
Voice, I think It is a lie. And I know It
Is. I desire to say that it is an Infamous
lie. I never believed It never thought
It or nev er dreamed it The perpetuity of
this government depends on the laboring
men of this country. I am not here tonight
to talk like a sjcopliant I would not be
w orthy to stand In congress If I had not
justified in) self b) my past record. 1 be
lieve in judging a man by what he has done
in the past as to what he will do in the fu
ture. Any pretense I might make would
go for naught If my past record does not
warrant it
"I have heard It said that a collar Is around
my neck. Tbe collar around my neck Is
THE UEITBLICAV COLLAR,
a collar that will fit the neck of any honest
man on the face of the w hole country. I
want to sjy this: 1 don't want an) body to
vote for me because I am a free trader, be
cause if he does he w ill throw away his
vote. I believe In protection. I don't
care how- high the tariff is. I am going
to protect the men. I w ant to make the
tariff so high that you will purchase ten
tenths of American-made goods. If I was
a subject of Great Britain I would favor free
trade, but because I am an American I am
in favor of protection."
The general attempted several times to
stop on account of the opposition noises on
the street and the difficulty In making him
self heard, but was urged up by the cries of
"go on ! go on !" and he did proceed at
some length making one of his usual able
off-hand efforts. He especially paid his re-
ipocts'ln quite vigorous language to "Gen"
Cowan, who had served in his regiment as
a private, above which grade In had never
arisen, and who in an article signed "Gen"
Cow an has been attempting to show that
General Kennedy never was in a fight
during the war. Incidentally he paid
a fine tribute to the private
soldier, of wbom he said, "I think he is
the
OUANDEST C1IAKACTLU OF THE WAR."
Closing the General said, "My friends, I
am ver) grateful to )ou for this demonstra
tion. I am glad to see you alL I didn't
know there was going to be so earthly
many of )ou though. 1 want to take all
by the hand and welcome )ou and Invite
) ou dow n to my hou-e after the speaking
Is through here. I am coming down to
Springfield next Thursday, and I will have
something more to say to )ou then." Three
cheers were called for "Bob," and given
with good will.
The chairman introduced J. Harry Rab
bltts, esq., who briefly addressed the audi
ence in his happiest manner. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen: I am sorry for you.
for I know the object of the meeting has
been accomplished and )ou are ready to
disperse. I am a citizen of the city of
Springfield, of w hieh there Is no city of
which it can as truly be said tliaf'for It
RI.rUlILICAMSM HAS DOVK so MfCH
and democracy so little. And Springfield
republicanism is as unswerving as the daily
course of the sun. I come here tonight to
speak for the workingmen of Springfield.
They are not only the men who- muscle,
b-ain and skill are sending the emblems of
Springfield's fame to the uttermost end of
the earth, but they are the main stay and
but w ark of the republican party. These
men will from now until election day work
earl) and late for the success of the party.
They realize that General Kennedy was not
put in the position he desired last fall, but
one of ten times more responsibility, and
now the) propose to reward him by electing
him to congress. We are for him because
he is a republican, because he represents the
Views held by that party on currency and
Uritl.
Harry speaks In a nervous, impassioned
wa), that makes an) thing like an accurate
transcript of his remarks impossible, but it
is only necessary to remark that he sustain
ed himself well as an Impromptu speaker,
and many of his points w ere roundly ap-
p auded.
Comrade E. E. Henry, of the 23d O. V.
I., General Kenned) 's old regiment was
next introduced and devoted himself more
particularly to the General's w ar career,
sa) Ing that "We did not come here as a
political party, but Just came on a social
call." He said General Bob received his pro
motions, step by step, b hard lighting In a
regiment which had for Its officers at differ
ent times men whom it was an honor to fol
low; winding up bysa)lng "that is the kind
of a man )OU want to send to congress.
You ant to send a soldier, then they w HI
respect him."
The tall, striking form of Judge West,
the
III INK MAV M.OO,i;ENT,
appeared ou the platfom, just previous to
the beginning of the speaking, and numer
ous calls were made for him. Although a
programme had been made to Include other
Springheld speakers, the calls for "West!
West!" could not be Ignored, and he was
led to the front of the platform, to be
greeted by loud and protracted applause.
He did not speak long, but among other
things, said, "Republicans of the Eighth
district for I am told you are pretty much
all here, I am sorry 1 cannot see you, for
they say y ou are a confounded good looking
set of people. We have some good looking
people here, and I expect one or tbe other
of you is the best looking.
Now, gentlemen, I have listened to one
of your good citizens, my friend Kabbltts.
It U the first speech I ever heard a rabbit
make. Laughter. I was most agreeably
Impressed with the ters-jness, force and
vigor of tho gentleman's remarks. We hav e
an election near at hand, important as are
all elections, state and national. Repub
licans on one side, democrats on the other.
They occupy the same positions that they
occupied during the war. The democrats
went for Kennedy. They and Charlie Con
stantino are going for him now. Voice
"But he'll never catch him." In this dis
trict we expect to go to Springfield with
FIFTJEN III MIIlKI) MAJORITY
From old Logan, and gather up 1,500 more
at Urbana. We expect the Champion City
to do Its duty. Will )ou do it ? Chorus of
voices: "We will." If Springfield does
not do its duty, instead of fif
teen hundred laboring people laboring
for fair wages for a fair da)'s work,
Springfield will become a deserted city.
Gentlemen, ev er) thing depends on ) our vot
ing the republican ticket. Tommy McMiliin,
he Is our neighbor. I uuderstaml that at
Springfield he got up a new theory. That
the workingmen of Springfield were held
In a slaver) worse than that of the black
man before the war. Prove that you are
not slav es. Prove that you do not wear the
democratic collar. The judge's brief but
pertinent remarks were liberally sand
wiched with applause.
At the close of Judge West's speech the
vast audience was invited by Gtneral Ken
nedy to repair to bis residence and grounds
and make themselves at home, which they
proceeded to do. No order was observed In
the going, but they arrived in good shape,
where they found the general's
EXTENSIVE AND IIBAUTIFUL LAVVX
handsomely decorated for the occasion.
General Kennedy welcomed the crowd in
the words quoted at the beginning of this
account Ever) body made themselves at
home, as invited, and munched sandwiches
and coffee, dispersed by the fair hands of a
committee of young ladles.
The return trains did not get out of Belle
fontain until nearly one o'clock, and tbe
Intervening time was put in In waiting and
wishing wishing for a snug berth at home.
A few of the men filled up on Bellefon
taine beer and came near bringing disgrace
on the whole affair by their ungodly actions.
But the decent part of the crowd, fortu
nately, caunot be held responsible for what
some few do.
At the railroad restaurant right at the
Bellefontaine depot trouble occurred. It is
alleged over some colored men
attempting to go out without
paying for what they had ordered
and war between the clerk In charge and
the colored men ensued, which assumed the
aspect of a small riot Beer glasses, rocks
and beer kegs were thrown and the front
and side windows of the building were ut
terly demolished. Six shots are also said to
have been fired, bnt no fatal or serious dam
age was done. The reports on the streets
today are magnificent exaggerations of the
whole unhappy occurrence. A number of
persons were cut and bruised up, hut be
yond that there is nothing in these highly
colored reports. The tow n police were un
able to do much and did not attempt to
make an arratt The racket lasted nearly
a half hour. Some other minor trouble also
occurred up town. As tbe first section was
pulling out of Springfield, some hoodlums
threw some stone and rotten cabbage,
through which one man lost his hat, and
several received bruised heads. But on the
whole, the raid on "our Bob" was a grand
success, and will hav e a good effect as show
ing that the republican workinguien hav e
not all gone of! after strange gods.

FIRED FROM THE CUPOLA.
A Small niazaat the Thom-u Works La.t
KlEht Damage Trifling.
Just a few seconds before six o'clock last
e ening and just as the firemen at the cen
tral engine house were) about to sound the
gong to indicate the hour, messages reached
the house almost simultaneously by the
the telephone and by a breathless boy, that
that there was a fire In J. H. Thomas &
Son's shops, comer Limestone and Monroe
streets. Instead of striking "six o'clock"
on the gong, therefore, box No. 3, central
engine house, was keyed In. The depart
ment got out promptly, but their services
were scarcely needed. The tire was found
to be located In the roof of the foundry,
which. had caught from the cupola. The
smoke was boiling out from under the tin
roof and the firemen found it necessary to
chop away quite and area of tin before It
could be gotten at It was then extinguished
by a deluge from the chemical engine. Tho
loss will not excede $25, but It might have
been a bad fire.
The Mln.trels La.t Night.
McNIsh, Johnson & Slav in, with their
jolly company of burnt cork artists, drew
out a very large audience of Springfield
theater-goers last night at the Grand opera
house to hear their famous jokes and popu
lar songs.
The fun-makers were loudly enchored
and the audience highly pleased with the
performance from beginning to end.
The evening's entertainment which
wound up with the after piete, "A Little
Fl) Coon," was extremely laughable and
quite a take-off on the popular comic opera.
A little Tie Coon, In his "Silence and Fun"
act Johnson's funny sa) ings, and Slavln's
dry wit Is enough to draw a packed house

The orchestra was unusually good, the
time perfect and the finest ever In Spring

The Hospital Scheme Buns Against a Snag
In the Columbia Street
Cemetery.
The firound. Available to the CUy for
Cemetery 1'urpo.e. Only, or a ''Hury
lnc A'ard" Two Co.iljr and Inter
minable Method, of Proceedure.
When the hospital commissioners, John
11. Thomas, the committee of citizens and
.Messrs. Kidder and Netts, of tht council
committee on hospital, all met a few da) s
ago at the stand-pipe grounds, they were
struek with the manifestly unsuitable char
acter of that place for the projiosed hos
pital. Accordingly no action of any char
acter was taken and the matter was left
open. At the samo time, there was a
lavorauie sentiment low arn the old grave
) anl on Columbia street and before the
commissioners and the others separated. It
was agreed, informally, to look into the
city's title to the old bur) ing ground afore
said, with a view to securing it If possible,
for the purpose named.
F. M. Hagan, esq., is a member of the
hospital commission, and he has spent a
large portion of the past week in examin
ing the records of the old graveyard and
canvassing what steps would be necessary
in the premises, for the city to secure It It
Is Mr. Hagan's Judgment that the city will
have Interminable difficulties In securing
the place and that under the most favorable
conditions It would be months and possibly
years before the matter could be settled.
And even then, the city must take the
chances of being worsted in the matter.
As a matter of fact there are few or no
records on the old cemetery that can lead
to lucid conclusions as to the title. In 1814,
James Demlnt one of .the pioneers of this
locality, recorded a plat of that portion of
the country, which was then a portion of
Champaign county. The acre and a half
of ground now occupied by the moss-grown
stones and sunken graves of our ancestors,
was simply marked on the plat "burying
yard." The original document Is still on
hie in the records of Champaign countv,
and a transcribed copy of it may be seen In
the office of Capt J. A. Todd, recorder of
Clark county, in Book "B."
This record shows conclusively that the
grounds were made over to the city, or per
haps to the county, for cemetery purposes
only, and the- city clearly forfeits its right
and title to the grounds whenever it at
tempts to make other use of them than the
purpose named. The grounds are simply
held as a resting-place for the early dead.
for the city prohibited interments there fif
teen years ago. But the city can hold tin
grounds forever, so long as they do not at
tempt to utilize them in a manner foreign to
the sentiment of the deed.
There remains, then, two ways by which
the old cemetery can be secured for a hos
pital site. The first is by buying out the
reversionary interests of the Demlnt heirs,
which would come into effect as soon as
other use was made of the groui-ds. This
would be an undertaking, perhaps, that
years would be necessaryto accomplish. It
would take no end of time and Investigation
to find out who the Demlnt heirs are, and it
might require a small lifetime longer to
make terms with them on the purchase of
the grounds by the city. It would be natu
ral for them to run up their prices as soon
as the city evinced a desire to purchase the
grounds. This could be met however, with
the argument to the heirs that so long as
the city held the grounds for nominal ceme
tery purposes it was of no benefit to them
(the heirs), and consequently they had bet
ter sell at a decent figure and realize a pro
fit In the event that it abandons tbe
grounds for cemetery purposes, the city
must remove the bodies Interred, at Its own
expense. There are no lots owned in the
cemetery', and consequently no private
rights.
The other method by which the city could
get possession of the cemetery for a hospital
site would be the formal condemnation pro
ceeding. The value of the grounds would
ba assessed by a juty of citizens, and the
city would have to pay the fnll value
of the land and all incidental costs. The
city has the power to do this, but not the
money. The ground are unquestionably
valuable, are located right in the heart of
the city, and even at the fair assessment
that a jury. In condemnation proceedings
would assess, they would bring at least $3,
000 or 56,000.
It will be seen that there is little light
ahead for the hospital in the direction of
the old cemetery'. Proceedings there w ould
be painfully slow and decidedly risky. If
the commissioners should decide to ntilize
the old cemetery. It puts the completion of
a hospital this year out of the question.
"What 1 would like to see done," said
Mr. Hagan. this morning, "is this: Give
up both the old cemetery and the stand-pipe
grounds and buy an available, desirable
site somew here else in the city. For five
or six thousand dollars we could do this.
We are going to have a perfect gem of
a hospital and It is a shame to waste it by
erecting it in unsuitable surroundings. We
are handicaped in the matter of ready
money, however.
"But" he continued, "there is loose
money lying around In odd funds I believe,
that If collected together, would go a long
way toward buying a site. The hospital
scheme that Hon. S. A. Bowman and oth
ers attempted last winter, has about 35,000,
I believe, l)tng Inactive, that could be used
very handily In this direction. And again,
there is some money in the old Rover Fire
company organization, that belongs to the
c ty. This ought to be turned over."
The outcome of these annoying delays
and difficulties, seems likely to be that
Springfield will have no hospital this winter.
X A Pastor Su.rprl.ed.
Last night about 9:30 o'clock; the resi
dence of Rev. Wilton R. Boone, pastor of
the Second Baptist church, was besieged by
a pahy of about eighty two members and
friends of the above name church, who
came with the intention of surprising their
pastor. The undertaking was a success.
But in this engagement while the reverend
gentleman was completely taken by sur
prise, he is of the opinion that he was the
victor. For in looking over the spoils last
night he said he was sure his grocer's bill
would be remarkably small for the next few
