Another Dismal Day Promised the Celebration at Montgomery, Ala, For THX H02CX-8THETCH BEACHED. Atlanta. Oct. 10. It officially stated that tha Praddent's (pedal train, which is expected to leave Montgomery at 1 o'clock to-morrow, will make no stops on iu way to Washington, except poasiuly at Aaherule, JJ.

where it may tarry nfteen minutes. A statement to the contrary has been made with regard to many places along the way, but tha people who may ba brought together by such announcement will ba disappointed. The train will run slowly, as heretof re, wherever people are gathered to see the President, but the public demonstrations of the tnp will positively end to-morrow, with the possible exception named. The Preataential party breakfasted with Senator Colquitt at 10 o'clock this morning. There were about thirty other guests, including most of the people of note in town.

The party is expected to dine with Senator Brown and his son. Mr. Junius i. Brown, at the residence of the latter. The principal event announced for to-day was the military parade and sham battle, but the mud and rain somewhat interfered with it.

The crowds are somewhat thinned out thi morning, but the famine in town continues. It is just learned that the engineer in charge of the engine which runs the dynamo of the President's train was arrested last night by some over -efficient policeman, and spent the night in the lock-up. He is as honest a man as ever pulled a throttle, and has commended himself to several members ot the party by the pluck exhibited in rescuing them from the embrace of the crowds several times as the train wasabout to start. Last night was the first tame he had ventured away from the train since it left Washington. Measures have been taken to set him at liberty at once.

The churches were opened last night and were crowded with people who had no other place to sleep. XOT ALL LOVKLT. The day has been rainy throughout. The President and Mrs. Cleveland entered the flower-bedecked carnages at 11 o'clock, and with an escort of cavalry and artillery made their way through muddy streets to the Exposition grounds, three miles sway.

There were probably forty thousand uncomfortable being waiting there, who mads brave but not very successful efforts to cheer the city i guests, snd who changed wearily from point to point ia the rain, searching for solid ground to stand upon. It was a sadly-depressing spectacle. The rainfall, though never severe, was persistant, and the lowering skies gave no promise of change. The procession moved slowly around the racetrack aud brought up in front of the grand stand, where it was intended that the distinguished party should alight, but the President, after considering the mud through which it would be necessary to wade to reach the reserved place, determined for Mrs. Cleveland and himself not to venture.

His carnage was then driven close to the inner railing, and there be awaited the passage of the troops in review before him. Umbrellas had been procured for Mrs. Cleveland and himself, but their companions, Messrs. Collier and Grady, occupying the front seat, turned up their collars, tipped their hats to the northeast, whence the wind came and braved the storm like Spartans. They could be seen to smile in a sickly way from time to time as they conversed with their guests, and tney probably did their bet to make the occasion interesting.

There was a delay of one mortal hour before anything happened. The troops were all on hand, but for some reasons thoy could not be brought into position. Drums were heard beating in a despondent way in the distance, and every few minutes a mounted policeman came up and drove little knots of people from one spot to another. At laxt a discharge of bombs, a burnt of music, and the troops, perhaps a thousand men, came marching and slipning past the President, who stood up in his carriage and held his umbrella over him to receive them. When the column bad aied the carriage was with home difficulty extracted from tha soil, turned round, and the proposed military reception having been abandoned the party returned to town.

DINNERS AND RKCEPTTOSS. In the afternoon the President was enter tained by Bon. Julius Brown, son of Senator bionn. There were present twenty-five invited gnests. The menu, which had been worked iu feathers in Mexico, was presented to Mr.

Cleveland at the close of the dinner. At the same hour the moat magnificent entertainment Riven Mrs. Cleveland on the triu was Drovided by Mrs. Henry W. (jrady.

Mrs. Grady is a charming hostess and did the honors of the occasion with tact and skill. or two hours the ladies of the City caiied there and paid their respecta to the President's wife. In the evening a general public reception was given at the Executive mansion by Governor and Mrs. Gordon.

The people marched in in streams, but there were so many of them that wnen the event closed, thousands still stood oubude unable to gam admittance. The great event of the day, after the sham battie, was the TORCHLIGHT PROCKSHIOIf of the Young Men's Democratic Leagues of the Stale. A drenching rain was failing, but that did not dampen the ardor of enthusiastic citizens who thronged the streets with flaming torches. A libera! display of tire- works lent brightness to the scene, and between toe cheers of the people and the countermarching of the torch-bearers, there was such a deoioustratiou as is seldom seen. When the torch-bearers bad gathered around the artesian well where President Cleveland stood in review, he arose and said: -I shad nut soon forget, my friends, the our.

Women Demand Ihe Privilege of Reg isteriag la Mew York City A Strange Blunder la Brooklyn. Wrw Tobx, Oct. 19.SpectaJ.-Thsr were a few attempts to-day among the women of this dty who believe in woman's suifrage to register. The custom now is too time-honored to be allowed to pass without some observation, even if it is mere form. Among the few who to-day kept up their brave tight against the obdurate Inspectors were Miss Annie Johnson and Mrs.

Eliza D. Burns. Miss Johnson is the librarian of the workingmen's free reading-room Clinton place, and is armed with good looks and an excellent knowledge of politics generally. Mrs. Burns is a quiet, dignified old lady, with old-fashioned manners, but she can give the inspectors, the corporation counsel, and the President of the United States plenty of points on election lew and qualification for voting.

The two went to the place of registration in West Kourth street and opened tire. Mrs. Burns catechised the inspectors and Miss Johnson read extracts from the Constitution of the United States aud of this State on voting. "Kv-ery citizen may vote," read Miss John- ine word exDlained Mrs. Burns, "does not disqualify women from "Everv umon mnlinml Ti Johnson, 'ferson," explained Mrs.

Burns, "can mean either man or woman. "1 wish I could let you register, ladies." said the inspector in charge, "but I can't." You may be sure we wish you could, sighed the other inspectors, with remembrances of past sieges. The ladies retired satisfied that the inspectors were gentlemen, even if they were officers, and gratified with their courteous treatment. A biz and costly blunder was committed in Brooklyn yesterday, wbch may result iu the throwing out of 37.4TB names of voters who registered in the different districts of the city on that day, and may compel every oue of i this great army of citizens to register again i or lose their votes on election day. It all came about through an error on the part of the Board of Elections in holding the poll on Tuesday of this week instead of Tuesday of next week.

The law calls for registration days on the hut Tuesday I of 3epteinber, and the second Tues- I day of October and the Tuesday occurring two weeks before the day of election. This is very simple, but the calculation as to when the election day takes place is more complex. It was in this calculation that the mistake was made. The board and its clerks were all at sea to-day when their attention was called to the mistake, and knew not how to get out of the dilbiiima. They finally de cided to submit the case to the corporation counsel, and be will give his opiniou to-morrow.

The possibilities of the blunder are alarmingly manifold. Any candidate, whether he be on the local, county, Assembly or senatorial ticket in Kings, or on the State ticket in any part of the State, may, in case the matter is not settled distinctly by the courts, challenge the vote of any or all of the other candidates and raise political Cain generally. It will be a bard tangle to straighten out. It would never do to deprive any citizen of his right to resistor oh next Tuesday, when the law gives him that right, but by having another registration, day Brooklvu would nave four days for registration, instead of three, as tue law status, ineo the blunder will represent about additional cost to the city in an extra day 's pay to the registrars and in extra advertising in the newspapers, aud no one has authority to pay for this.

What Is Said Hv Eastern Creditors of the Unfortunate Firm. "kw York, Oct. 19. Special. The failure of Timothy Brothers, the Nashville dry goods firm, the adnouncement of wuich was made here to-day is of interest to a number of New York unportais.

In fact, ot the liabilities tlti.uuu are on the books of the New York creditors. The orinciual I one of the latter is the farm of II. B. Clattm wbo holds ot Timothy Broth-j ers' paper. Among other firms, with amounts of the aocuuuta, are the following: E.

The firm was rated at that time by R. 6. Dun Co. in the S40.0UU to ciass, and stood high as to credit. When the tire broke out there was stock valued at SlJO.OOU In tha building, all of which was sillier totally destroyed or damaged so as to be nearly valueless.

The insurance amounted to toU.UUO, but there was some difficulty with the companies which delayed its payment. The firm could not resume business, was crowded by creditors and went to the wall. The assignee was Henry Meta, a relative of Timothy Brothers, to whom they owe A5.0UU. It was ascertained to-day that one of the Timothy Brothers had been here for several days last week, and had consulted with H. B.

Speeches were made by several members, and new members admitted. Secretary Propper, of Missouri, gave his inter view with Commissioner Oberly, which go ahead with the organization; address all political communications to the residences of the 'Terrified; call upon him for contributions outside of office hours." An official high in office has promised a check of wnen the sssocistion get into iu new quart- Col. Samuel A. Walton, of Kentucky placed upon the Executive Committee. Civil-service Commissioner Edgerton, who returned to the city to-day, was asked by the CouBxaa-JouaoiAA, reporter if his views agreed with those of Commissioner Oberly, as expressed in his recent letter to the Illinois Democratic Association.

"They certainly do said Mr. Edgerton. "I do not believe in extreme or strained ouastractions of the civil-service law. These State organisations have as much right to exibt as they ever had. There is nothing in the law to prohibit it.

A man is not prived of the privileges ot citizenship be cause be holds public office, and I think the idea that a man should abandon his residence in a State, or bis dnzeuship, when be takes office in Washington, is proposter-ous. The legislative power is above us all. and if the law is to be applied so as to de prive man of their rights as citizens, the danger is that a demand will be made upon the ieeislative power to wipe it out. There is no necessity for anything of the sort. The law is all right, and it only needs to be construed in accordance with common sense and practical experience.

In that report they said of Mr. Webster, the ilimiinaid clerk: 'Strong political views Web ster had a right to entertain, and, daring the time he held a public place, it was hti right to give, at proper tunes, strong expression to those views.

The opinion is not to be tol-erwved thst because a man occupies a place in the classified civil service be must there fore surrender his right to take an interest in the politics of the oountrr.

TI108E MISSING PAPERS. Inventor Rogers lias Another Say Relative to the Lost Pan-Electric Evidence A Card r'rout Attorney Chandler.

Washirotoh, Oct. 19. Special. In regard to Attorney General Garland and the lost or stolen Pan-Electric papers. Dr.

Rogers says to-day: "The loss is much more serious than at first supposed, for Mr. Chandler, being counselor only for the demurring parties and not for Mr. Garland, and though willing to do all in his power, can not restore the exhibits pertaining to his wing ot the case. On the other band," continued Mr. Kogers, "the Attorney General's answer and cross bill (he having other counselors land refusing to join in the demurrer) can be replaced only by true copies.

if such exist; and a new answer, even if the Attorney General should make one, would not suffice. Eminent counsel have assured me that the Attorney General was already beaten on his own answer, and the plaintiffs! replication, and tne pleading being closeji, it would be manifestly unjust to permit a new answer. Some of the exhibits which go to the merits of the case can not be recovered, and the plaintiff is in danger of losing not only the appropriated by the defendants and Western and Southern stocks, but all his patents, the labor of half his life, for which they have never paid a farthing." In conclusion Mr. Rogers said, with a touch of sarcasm, "The Department of Justice, not being in Mexico, but the United tttates, some remedy may be found." Jeff Chandler makes the following statement this afternoon on the subject: "Eorroa Camo There have appeared in your paper, and iusome of the New Yora papers, sea-sauoual statements conoerning the alleged loss of tne original papers in the suit of J. Harris Holers vs.

Mr. Garland and others. The precsw facts are as Is said by the clerk of tue court that the origiinsVliiil aud exhibita are not in aiaoatog. He holds a receipt, signed by a young man In my omoe, upon a piece of paper which has no title of any cause upoa it, but inasmuch aa a is in the place where the court papers ought to be, a may fairly be presumed to be a receipt for the Borers bilk When and for what reason he gave the receipt be can not remember. I have bad a our-revt copy of the bjl ever since I was employed uwthe case.

This, and the eThihiu. are all the pajiera that I ever had any use for, and never, to the best of my recollection, did I have the original papers ia my ofBce. or out of the court-room. Assuming, however, that I am mistaken and that the receipt above mentioned was given for me and that tha papers are not to be found, I proposed to Mr. Hot ers' son, who ceiled upon cut for the pspers, that I would go with hua totheeourt and have it sulkatiluied by agreement for the original bill.

He said that this would not Supply the exhibita I proposed that tnasmnrs- as all the frrhihtts were printed, ooptea satisfactory to hum might be by hiss sujsMiesv I Had tlnee seetnsr hl tH.t lumvw a XS7, Kogers himself had prepared and filed to the eepreme court of the thatrlct of Columbia a printed copy of so much of the record as he deemed necessary te the hearing of his ease on appeal.

No complaint was made about the loss of papers, and 1 attended the court for several days waiting for the case to con up is Its order.

Jsrr. CaAsmxa." M. Kl'STEJt EFFENDI DEAD. Death ot the Tarklsh Secretary of Lecaiioa at Washington. Wa8buotos.

Oct. 19. ISjMciaL'i M. Rusteca Effendi, Secretary of tha Turkish Legation, died in this dty this morninz at o'clock at the Buckingham, McPberson square, where he has been living since the early summer. The deceased has been indisposed for a fortnight, and his illness finally developed the fever that terminated bis life.

He was about forty years old. He was often delirious In the paroxyfaans of the fever, but begged, in his lucid periods, that his body be sent to Europe. His landlord had hired an attendant for nun. he had the professional at tendance of Dr. Rarmoud.

This morn ing his body was embalmed and awaits the order of his chief, Mavroyeoi Bey, the Turk ish Minister, who has been notified by telegraph at Tuxedo Park of his Secretary's death. M. Rustem Effendi was a pure Turk, a Mobainedan in religion, so that it would be difficult to hare the religious rites be desired performed on his burial in this country. It is not known what disposal will be made of his body, as there is no word from Mav royeoi uey at this hour. M.

Effeudi was for nfteen years the Turkish representative here. holding the dual office of Minister at the Capital and Consul General at the port of rvew York, with his headquarters In the latter city. He was wout to come on here for all Stats occasions, aud was a familiar figure at the White House on New Year receptions ami diplomatic dinners aud receptions in his red fes cap and other Oriental peculiarities of drees. His colleagues all speak in the ten-derest terms of him, and regret deeply his untimely taking off. Baron P.

Paumgart-ten, of tle Austro-Hungariaa Legation, who has known him for several years, testifies to his gentle, generous nature, and to his excellence in the conduct of the affairs of his Government in this country. He has many friends among the club men of this city, and the deepest regret at his death is expressed by his friends. WITHOUT WORK OR MONEY. Tbe Reports of There Being Danger oi Aa Outbreak of Idle Laborers at Colon. Wasbiiiotox, Oct.

19. ISpecial.y- The Stat) Department has no information from Panama that would confirm the statement of "acini engineer," telegraphed from New York Saturday, which said that a large number of laborers are at Colon without work or money, and are unable to get away, and that in consequence the merchants and respectable olasa fear aa outbreak. While nothing official has been received at the department, i prominent officials are not surprise at the iateliigenee, aa some time ago the department was notified that on the canal was slack and that thefe were Urge numbers of, idle, money lees men there. The laborers are men recruited Irous every place under the si in, and would not hesitate to resort to violence tney found tbeiaeeives without money or food, with no chanpe of obtaining either. The ouiy interest this country uas down there is in protecting American citizens and lueir property, and ia keeping the transit open, as fre did ia lt.

The Nary Department is also without official advices on toe subject. At present the American flag does not wave at Colon, The Iroquois aud the Alert are at Cailao and couid not reach Colou in less than a week. The Maflou is now en route to Panama and will arrive there the last of the month. The three vessels carry about bUU men and officers and could laud 400 if necessary. In lst5 about 7UU men were sent ashore, but then the situation was moi critical than it could possibly be now, because at the time a revolution was in progress, while now, if there was any outbreaa, it would only be that of a mob, and 4otl American blue jackets and marines ought to be able to maae it warm for a mob ten times as large.

It.

Th General Assembly of the Knights of Labor remained in session ail day, only taking final adjournment at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. All business wss disposed of, and th Eleventh Assembly has th record of accomplishing more than any of its predecessor. Many of the delegate left for home by the evening trains, but a number, including th General ofhoars, will remain in the city a day or two. Among the enormous number of documents passed upon to-day, rather the most important was a resolution granting cigar-makers who belong to the Ugarmakers' In ternational Union, which was expelled by action of the Richmond convention, the privilege of reinstatement without payment of fee. This is in accordance with Pow-derly's recommendation in his report.

The session wss opened this morning with additional reports from the Committee on Law. A recommendation that the maintenance of a co-operative fund be mad optional with locals was adopted, as also was one that there be no change in the management of the "Journal." Further action provides that th general Executive Board shall have nothing to do with strikes, unless called upon to interfere by th District Assemblies or National Trades Assemblies involved. Assemblies desiring new rituals must return old copies before receiving the new. The anarchistic element received another backset when the Assembly resolved by a vote ot 112 to 29 that Knights of Labor in parade shall carry nothing but tb Stat or National colors. There can be no more rd flags ia Knight of Labor parades.

An attempt to prevent Mr. Powderly's further activity in th order in the event of hi resignation was frustrated when the assembly refused to accept a propo sition to strike out the section which provides: "A Past General Master Workman shall bare ail th rights and privileges oi a representative. The rule prohibiting tb sal of liquor at picnics was sustained against a motion to chang. by a rot of 104 to 48. Hereafter organisers must pay does in ad-vane for tb time of their commissions, and locals must not propose and Initiet candidates for nsembership on tha mm aught; week must intervene.

Th committee reoommead4 ttettto General 'Master Workman be authorised to appoint a member of the order ia England to take charge ot affairs, as requested in the letter from D. A. 308 of England, received some days ago. Documents providing for making th Stat Assembly the highest authority in its geographioal limits, except in trad matters; asking tb rejection of the new constitution; ceiling for abolition of the State Assembly, and suggesting plans for th reorganisation of the order and for making it a political party, were rejected. After adopting iu recommendation that the date of the meeting of the Assembly fa changed to the Tuesday after the second Monday of November of each year, the Assembly discharged th Committee on Law.

The committee on appeal and grievances reported the charges against General Secretary Litchman as groundless. In the rase of D. A. 126, the committee could make no suggestion, offering as aa excuse that John Morrison had brought two valises of evidence and th Executive Board had half a ton; there was too much for it to grapple with. A motion to refer it to an arbitration committee of three did not meet favor, and an amendment to the effect that A.

D. VM be reinstated upon complying with th law of the order was passed. This leaves the matter just where it was before. It was moved to provide for granting charters to Chinese assemblies, but th measure was lost, it being regarded as detrimental to the order in the West. Complaints war introduced against the Ray, the alleged labor paper of Troy) N.

by New York delegates, who charged it tb having made scurrilous attacks upon them, and iu name was ordered withdrawn frcm the list of papers indorsed by the "Journal." A report from the Committee on Finance recommended economy for the coming year. The invitation from Indianapolis was accepted, and th convention will be held in that city next year. Among other resolutions adopted in quick succession was on au thorizing tn uecutiv Board to defend the members of District Assembly 40, now under arrest at the instigation of the Old Dominion Steamship Company. THE RESULTS GRATIFYING. Th Knights of Labor Pleased With the Work of the Convention.

Minhkapous, Oct. 19. Tb feeling among the majority of the delegates to the assembly is that th general results of th present session are most gratifying. While there have been lively fights over several matters, th organisation is as strong as aver, and legislation has been enacted which will of great vain to th order ia th future. Mr.

Powderly said: "In a nut-shall, I think tbs legislation passed at tbs present session will be greatly beneficial to tb organisation. A good many important changes ia tb constitution have been made, and th a mend men adopted will, I think, in the end prove to be just what is needed. I look for a healthy increase daring th coming year." A. A. Carlton, of Masse.

Iiueetts, regards th last tow days of th session as productiv of good resulta and looks forward to a harmonious and prosperous year. Ira B. Ayles worth, another member of th Executive Board, said: "I regard tb action of th assembly on trades anion matter and the Ogarmakers' Union, aa two moat important oi iu doings. These moves will do much to streugUiea the oroer. W.

Archibald, delegate from A. 49. of New York, said: "lb majority of Eastern dslsiriVT will go bom feeling ex ceedingly well pleased. I look for a large Inn sen in membership in th order ia to East from now on. Th fight ia th convention will do th entire organisation very much Hugh Cavanough, of Crariwnatl, a strong administration man, said: "Tb delegates from my section are all well pie sad with the result of tb assembly's deliberations.

Chicago, was very bitter ia his denunciation of the way the work of the Dresent session had been carried out.

Pow der Iv and his friends have been able. he, 'to get everything they asked at the hands of the assembly with the exception of getting rid of bailey and Barry." Chas. K. Seib, another delegate from District Assembly No. 24, Chicago, said: 'Powderly has been the boas of the present General Assembly.

He baa got everything be asked. His will has been law." Joe Labadie, of Detroit, who is usually ceiled an Anarchist, and wbo is generally in favor of radical measures, said: no. I don't think there will be any split. The opposition are too wise." A. M.

Dew, the special organiser, said: "This has been the best of seven sssetnolies I have attended. The action taken on the question of the Journal paves the way to the introduction of mv plan next year. The action sustaining Powderly in the Chicago strike matter will not injure the order in city." LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS. The Twenty-Foarth Aannal Meeting ol th Brotherhood Chief Arthur's Address.

bjf Cobl. Gladstone's Irish speech will be followed today by th enunciation of a prograsaa which repreeenta a large advance on Radical lines. Ihe inevitable result will ba a eever-anc of the Whig wing on th bom raks question. Soros Radicals, however, are inclined to think the conference does not go far enough; that manhood suffrage and a larger infusion of social legislation should be included in the Nottingham program me. Gladstone's speech yesterday was a brilliant re, reduction of facts, which go to show the utter illegality of tb Government's course in Ireland.

This is th result of tb searching -to which Gladstone subjected Prof. Htuart oa his experiences ia Ireland. Tn Unionist press, of course, say Gladstone has now Hstirl Art himself with tb cause of illegality In Ireland. This is a carious niiiretwsntstinn, for th whale object of Gladstone's speech was to prove the Government is breaking the law, and that no sympathy could meted out to law-breakers. Gladstone's voice, aa usual after a long rest, was weak and husky at first, but gathered strength toward th close.
