Manchester, Sept. -The Hon. John W. Yerkes addressed fairly large audience here this afternoon. Many of his hearefs had come a long distance just for the novelty of the affair, and the opportunity to see candidate for Governor, as gubernatorial candidates had heretofore studiously or otherwise avoided going to the county seat of Clay.

A great many of the crowd were freely imbibing moonshine, having a good time generaily, and seemed unconscious of the fact that a political speech was being made. Mr. Yerkes' speech was made along the lines of his former addresses in this campaign, until he reached the point in his speech designed to tickle the ear of his mountain listeners. He made a desperate play to show his hearers that the people of the mountains of Kentucky had been the worstwronged set of people on the face of the earth, and all at the hands of the Democratic party. He said they had been called murderers, red-handed.

mountaineer assassins; that Congressman Wheeler had stated that these mountaineers did not do and act as he did and would not go to the same place when they died. He next assured big audience that It was to their credit that they had never atolen offices, and would lose nothing by not spending with Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Yerkes then took up Joe Blackburn's alleged statement tha: "if be (Blackburn) had his way, would blow the Eleventh congressional to hades," and talked about this at length.

Mr. Yerkes severely criticised Gov. Beckham for saying "he would never, 10 elected Governor, pardon one of the men convicted of the Goebel assassination," and said this was judging the cases in advance and without any investigation, and that any man who would do a thing of this kind was not worthy the office of Governor. Mr. Yerkes made a number of references to the Goebel assassination cases, and left an impression that if elected the accused men would fare better than anything Beckham had promised.

His audfence cheered madly while Mr. Yerkes was touching upon these points. Mr. Yerkes and his escort will go to London to-morrow. He had the London brass band with him, and the Altamont colored band and a delegation from London will meet the Yerkes party and escort them to-London.

Mr. Yerkes will speak at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and a large crowd is expected. RAINO IN But They Are Too Late To Benefit Materially the Maturing Crops.

the first time since the passage of the Chinese exclusion act the Government and the Savannah authorities have clashed over the disposition of a Chinese crew. The steamship Ettrickdale arrived Tuesday with twenty-nine Chinamen in the crew. Health Office W. F. Brunner demande1 that they be made to sleep ashore, in accordance with the city ordinance requiring crews of vessels in port to sleep on land during the months of September and October.

Capt. Stewart declined to give the Chinamen into the care of the city, stating that he could not land them. The matter has been taken up with the Marine Hospital authorities In Washington. The Treasury Department has advised the Collector of the port that the Chinamen must not be allowed to leave the vessel and guards have been stationed about it to see that they do not get on shore. Health Office Brunner is determined to have the rights of the city defended and will take the matter to the highest authority possible.

It is said to be unhealthy for crews of vessels to sleep on board ship during the months named. Bankrupt Proceedings Against Brokers.

She was well dressed and left valuable jewels. Her father is said to be Albert J. Dudley, of New Haven. An autopsy will be held, followed by a Coroner's inquest, which alone can determine the cause of her death.

MAMIE MAY WEEDON TOOK HER LIFE. Was Found Dying By Her Six- YearOld Child- -Separated From Husband. Her six-year-old daughter found Mrs. Mamie May Weedon dying. The mother had taken morphine.

Last evening she died. Her three children, utterly unprovided for, are left for their grandfather, Coleman Ramsey, to support. Their mother was afraid to live, and at the last she was afraid to die. Mra. Weedon was just twentyyears old.

Those who knew her best called her a handsome woman. She was married some years ago, but at the last she and her husband did not live together. It is supposed that this had something to do with her death. She stayed at the home of Coleman Ramsey, an old soldier, and the best-known tollgate-keeper around Loulsville. Now he has the first gate out from Louisville on the Seventh-street road.

From last Sunday on, Mrs. Weedon was very much depressed. She would not tell the cause or exactly what she was going to do, but she kept the family alarmed by veiled threats and myeterious mutterings about another world. Mr. Ramsey treated it all as a joke.

"Don't be worried," he told the other members of the family, "Mamie is not going to kill herself. She's afraid." At bedtime Wednesday night, little Mamie MAx alx years old, went to her on the bed breathing loudly. The little girl pulled at her mother's dress. "Mamma, mamma!" she called. She got no answer.

Then the child began to cry. The others rushed in. Mr. Ramsey took one look; then he went to the dresser and picked up a bottle marked morphine. The bottle a was empty.

For twenty-four hours Dr. Crost and the family worked with the mother without avail. The Rev. H. H.

Barber, of the Meadville Theological School, Meadville, and Professor of Homiletics and the History and Philosophy of Religton, will occupy the pulpit of the Church of the Messiah, Unitarian, Sun. day, September 30.

Barber is one of the ablest men in the Unitarian Church, and is an entertaining and instructive teacher. The Rev. Frederick V. Hawley, who has been called to the church, will not be able to come until November 1. It is likely that the Rev.

J. T. Sunderland, formerly of Ann Arbor, and who has recently had to London, England, will occupy the pulpit of this church during the month of October. Funeral of Fireman Currin. The funeral of John Currin, the fireman who died on Wednesday morning, will take place from St.

SEMI-DAILY OBSERVATIONS. Loulsville, Sept.

21. Dew Barometer. Temperature 3 APATHY Prevailing Among West Virginia Voters. THEY ARE HARD TO AROUSE, THOUGH THE PARTY MANAGERS ARE WORKING HARD. CAMPAIGN FUNDS IN PLENTY.

The Democrats Doing Some Gum Shoe Work That May Prove Effective. FIGHT ADMITTEDLY CLOSE. Charleston, W. Va, Sept. is the queerest that was ever seen in West Virginia.

Ordinarily the native West Virginian takes to politics long before he is voter, and keeps at it until the coffinlid is screwed down, in season and out. Generally there is more politics: in West Virginia when no candidates are in the feld than there is this year. The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties and the partisan editors and correspondents have been making brave efforts to unhorse old General 'Apathy, but 1 he is harder to throw down than Murphy's famous duck. It is no fault of the and the candidates, for they are working with unprecedented vigor, and they seem to have all the money they need. They are running up and.

down the State like scared hares, and they are all scared, too. The candidates on the State tickets, especially the candidates for Gov. ernor and Attorney General, are makIng from two to half a dozen speechea every working day, and are putting in their Sundays concocting schemes to win votes. The Republican headquarters at Parkersburg are a veritable beehive of industry. Chairman Dawson, Secretary Hall and Treasurer Woodyard are in their offices from early morning till late at night, and they have for assistants dozen of the best political workers In the State.

There are stenographers galore, the outfit filling without an inch to spare one whole floor of a big bustness block; while the offices of several Republican lawyers have been annexed to accommodate some of the field workers who get to headquarters occasionally, and have not room to turn round in the building. The stenographers and copyists who write addresses on wrappers for campaign documents are workovertime, and are paid more than union wages to get them to hustle. Democrats' Headquarters. The Democratic co utee has its headquarters mete, and while the quarters are not so elaborate, and the facilities for work so complete, still they are doing more than was ever done before by a Democratic committee. The force is ample for all purposes and is kept as busy as men can be.

The Democrats also have headquarters at Parkersburg, under the management of Secretary Byrne, for the purpose of keeping an eye on the doings of the Republicans and covering the northern part of the State. As for money, both parties have more of it than in any campaign in the history of the State. In 1896, the Republicans had a big fund, and were hardly able to spend it without waste, but this year they are working on a scale that indicates that the '96 fund was a mere bagatelle. In '96 the Democracy was on Its uppers, and the treasurer of the committee spent most of his time squaring himself with the bank that reluctantly acted as a depository for the funds. This time they are better supplied.

Senator Scott, who is one of the gEst men on the Republican committee, is seeing to it that West Virginia lacks neither spellbinders nor cash nor literature, and they are all being used with vigor. Dozens of men of national repute have already canvassed the State. and Roosevelt is. positively scheduled, and McKinley promised. Voters Apathetic.

In spite of all this, the voters will not enthuse. It is a campaign of the professiona! politicians almost exclusively. There are hundreds of clubs in State, but in nearly every case the club is the composed of a -few mer who expect something and who are taking this means of winning prominence, and a few others who miss meetings, and will not drill. The meetings of both parties not only lack numbera, but lack enthuBiasm. The silver tongue of Romeo H.

Freer, who used to be able to set the boys wild at will, can conjure up no that will stir them to more than passive applause. When such men as Charles Emory Smith get audiences that in years gone by district schoolhouse orators would have been ashamed of, there is little use trying. Heretofore the leaders have tried to believe that the energy of the leaders and candidates was indicative of the condition of the voters, and excused, the slim meetings and cold receptions on the ground that the campaign was yet young. But this will not serve any longer, for students of West Virginia politics know that when the middle of September passes without an awakenIng, there is hard work ahead for the committees. What the Managers Say.

Secretary Hall, of the Republican committee, said a few daya ago: "Why, in 1896 the meetings held themselves. All we had to do was to fur. nish a few dodgers, and any old kind of a speaker, and the voters would flock out in droves and cheer him to the echo. This year the speakers, no matter what their, capacity, get cold receptions, and to get a crowd at all requires the hardest kind of hustling. It may change by the 1st of October.

but It looks The Democrats admit the same sort of conditions, and find no remedy, Bryan's meetings were big, and, to a degree, enthusiastic, but he is a candidate for President, and can not be classed with anyone except McKinley for comparison. Admitting that there is great apathy among the voters, the leaders of the two parties are discussing what the effect will be on election day.

RHEUMATISM numbers, and as the blood-quickening impulse is lacking as much in one side as the other, the parties may be expected to suffer about evenly in the loss of votes from nonvoting electors. However, the Republicans feel the greatest fear.

Besides, It is admitted that the Republicans more frequently vote outside party lines than do the Democrats, and the Democrtas, especially the candidates for members of the Legislature, are makIng personal appeals to Republican voters. Some Gumshoe Work. In fact, the gumshoe brigade is doing work, and apparently making more of a success in getting votes than are the speakers and distributors of literature. For these reasons, the Republicans are straining every nerve to get things wakened up.

They want to see a fight, and. are willing to see the Democrats active, for Democratic activity begets activity and loyalty 1 in their own forces. The Democratic leaders are making no wild claims. They say that they believe they carry the State by a small majority, but offer no figures, They hope to elect their Congressmen In the Second, Third and Fourth dis- tricts. SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE At the Williamstown ReunionSpeeches By Congressman Berry, Col.

Young and Others. Williamstown, Sept. 27. -The annual reunion of the Fourth Kentucky cavalry, C. S.

was held here to-day. The event brought fully 7,000 people to town from Grant, Owen, Scott, Harrison, Pendleton and Kenton countles. They came in buggiee, in carriages, in farm wagona, on horseback and on foot. At 9 o'clock the streets were jammed with people. At 11 it was almost impossible to drive a vehicle through town.

A dozen Marshals and deputy Sheriffs were sworn in to handle the great crowds. At 10 o'clock a procession formed, headed by a band from Cincinnati, and marched to the grounds. M. D. Gray delivered the welcome address.

He was followed by Judge Dorman, of Owenton, and Col. Allen, of Cincinnati. Afterwards the Hon. S. Berry spoke.

He made an anti-imperialistic speech, which evoked prolonged cheering. Col. Bennett H. Young, of Louisville, spoke in the afternoon. It has not yet been determined where the next meeting will be held.

This one far excelled the expectations of the committee and all are highly pleased. A Death At the Reunion. Williamstown, Sept. -Miss Myrtle Shawhan, of Elliston Station, this county, died on the reunion grounds to-day. She had consumption and was very weak, and it is thought the excitement and heat produced her death.

RUMORS OF A MOB To Take Bill Orick and Travis Brown Out of Jail-Did Not Materialize. Albany, Sept. A. Cross, Jailer of this county, received word from two different sources that a mob was forming to come and take Bill Orick and Travis Brown out of jail and lynch them. Cross prepared himself, but the mob tailed to appear.

Orick is charged killing Wade Rains at Concord, county, last "this month. Brown is charged with killing Miss Cella Jones, aged fourteen, at her home, near Cartwright. Orick and Brown were told about the rumors of a mob coming. Orick was scared and prayed, while Brown remained cool and calm put on his clothes, saying he wanted to be ready for them.

The Presbytery held for a modifled revision of the confession, rejecting the iden of a new creed. supplemental statement or of a short working creed. as an addendum to the confession.

The Presbytery would leave the confession now is with certain eliminations and verbal changes. The "arithmetical clause," which is the statement of those elected to be damned, is recommended to be omitted. This, it is claimed, does not throw out the doctrine of reprobation, but only the former cruder statement, which the Presbytery regards as an unnecessary intrusion of harsh logic into a divine mystery. Another urgent reason offered for this alteration to that the former clause as to elect-infants has been changed so as to include within redemption all. dying; in infancy.

The idea of non-elect infants is thrown out. The Presbytery further urges the changing of the clause terming the Pope anti-Christ, so that It shall desIgnate him as assuming and usurping the sole right of Christ as the head of the Church. The Rev. Dr. Peyton S.

Autumn yesterday made Its second It cost John Block just $22 to walk past the corner of Preston and Marshall streets last evening, and he was glad to escape with his life. Now William Taylor and Rob Morris, colored, who took everything else he had, are in jail on charge of highway robbery, while Detectives Bouteiller and Ahern are spend. ing their reward money in advance for arnica to dress bruises gotten in the struggle with the robbers.

It all happened just after dark last evening. Block was on his way home, going out Preston street. It was the hour for the evening meal in that portion of the city and not a person was in sight for squares. As he reached Marchall street two negroes stepped suddenly from around the corner. Block tried to brush past, but one of them stopped him.

costs money to get by here," the negro said, Block struck at him and in a moment the two blacks were on the white man. They got the money. He went down. They were on top of him, and then Block heard far away some one yelling and the sound of men running on the brick pavement. Detectives Bouteiller and Ahern had heard the noise of the fight from Vanderespt's drug store, a square away, and were coming to the rescue.

The highwaymen darted up Marshall street. Before Block could scramble to his feet the pursuers rushed past him. Midway between Preston and Jackson, on Marshall, is a shed which extends out to the pavement. Upon this shed the highwaymen scrambled and stood defying the officers. Like a tomcat on a board fence big Joe.

Bouteiller went at that shed. The negroes tried to beat him over the head and kick him in the face, but the detective caught one by the foot and jerked him from the top. Ahern caught him as he fell, Then Bouteiller clambered on top of the shed. The remaining highwayman dropped on his knees. "Please, boss, doan trow me off," he cried.

At the station the men gave their effort to supersede summer. It fairly well, and the prediction for to-day of fair and cooler weather would indicate that summer had about been downed.
