4 MUST GET TO WORK. Altgeld Seeks to Put Lukewarm Democrats in line. AFTER WASH HESING FIRST German Editor Slated for Collector ot the Port Republicans Holding Enthusiastic Mass Meetings Throughout the City. "Altgeld has come to town toread the riot act to cetaln influential Democrats who have been rather lukewarm in this campaign," remarked a prominent Democratic worker at the Monroe street headquarters yesterday afternoon. "For example?" "Hesing," replied the Democratic worker, and then he went on to tell how Illinois' Governor, since his arrival In Chicago a few days ago, has entered more determinedly than ever into the political fight, with an eye to the future as well as to the present.

According- to the same information' a combination has been formed between the Governor, William Morrison, and Ben Cable, and the Governor and Ben Cable are in the city at the same time to look after the Interests of -the combination here. By means of the combination Morrison hopes to succeed Senator Cullom or to get tbe Illinois delegation at his back for President in 1896. Altgeld is looking to Senator Palmer'a place. The Governor's first desire, however, is to elect the Democratic Judicial. ticket in Cook countv this fall, in order to vent his personal spite against Judge Gary.

To do this, he finds it necessary to enlist the active services of some of the prominent Democrats who have not been over zealous for the partisan ticket. Washington Ilesing, so the story goes, Is the first to receive the Governor's mandate. It was said on good authority yesterday that Mr. Hesing-'s newspaper, tbe Stoats Zcitung, would take up Altgeld's defense, It was also said that, mainly through Alt- gold's instrumentality, Mr. Hesmg is to re ceive the appointment of collector of the port.

A Democratic politician, who for years has been a Carter Harrison man, who was a delegate to the last county conven tion, and who Is now a Federal officeholder, aaid yesterday "Hesing will certainly be made collector of the port. He is the candidate of the Altgeld-Morrlson-Cable combination. That combination will defeat Carter Harrison and all other opposition when the time comes to do it." Governor Altgeld was in conference during the day yesterday with many of the Chicago Democratic leaders, receiving reports and giving instructions as to tbe work of the campaign. The question of Federal appointments was also discussed by the bosses. It was the general belief that Cable would be unable to make his man, Spangler.eollector of internal revenue, Theodore Nelson, Recorder Chase's deputy and the secretary of the Democratic State central committee, seemed to be the general favorite for this place.

According to dispatches he filed bis application with tbe Secretary of the Treasury yesterday. UKOIN TO YELL. FRACD. Desperate Democrats Trying to Find a Bugaboo That Will Scare. The gang has got 'em again.

This time the Democrats, or those who are managing the campaign in Cook county, have unearthed a wicked Republican plan to disfranchise honest Democratic voters by wholesale. of tbe Altgeld-Harrison managers yesU-rday caused to be circulated rumor that the sending out of so many suspect notices was a Republican trick. They claimed that the Republican clerks of election were sending the notices indiscriminately to Democratic voters, hoping that thousands of them wonld neglect to appear at the polls to-night and have their names kept on the registry books. Tbe story was a very interesting one, but those persons who started it failed to give other Democratic leaders the cue. When it was repeated to Twenty-fourth Ward Jimmy Quinn that astute little politician laughed the idea to scorn.

"I don't see much of a trick in it," he ob served. 'I know that a great many notices have been sent oat, and my ward is full of them. That can be easily explained, however. When Tbe Fair opened, a whole lot of people np my way thought they were going to make a fortune, so they raised the price of houses, flats, and rooms. As a result many persons removed to other parts of the city where rents were cheap.

Now, after The Fair, and when rents have come down, they are going back to their old places. So they get notices, not being known by tbe election clerks. There ain't much of a taick in that." Jimmy Strain, Tom Gahan, and a number of others put the same construction on the so-called "trick," and those persons who started the cry of fraud retired to manufacture another and more formidable bugaboo. Speaking of the suspect notice. Chief Clerk Taylor, of the Election commission ers' ofhee, said yesterday: "After registration it is tbe duty of tbe clerks of election to canvass the ward and see if the men who registered have given the right addresses and whether there be any reason why they should not vote.

If it happens ttiev do not get satisfactory information at any man's house that man Is sent a suspect notice and is required to show why he should be allowed to vote. This must be done Saturday night. It may happen that a man who has voted in a precinct for years may iret a notice. If any man's name is wrongfully stricken from the rolls he' may get it replaced on one of two different dates fixed by the law. The unusual demand for notices' this year I explain on the theory that the World's Fair has caused many re movals on account 01 a raise in rents or desire to get away from the' World's Fair district." Voters who bave received suspect notices and who are entitled to vote at the.

coming election should appear at their respective polling-places this evening between 0 and 10 o'clock and see that their names are not stricken from the registry. Unless they do this they may be disfranchised, so jar as this election Is concerned. 1H MASS MEETING TO-NIGHT. (publican Rallies to Bo Held la Several Parts of tha City.

A notable featuie of the audience was the presence of the professional men of the ward, who have not had time heretofore to attend local political meetings, for there were here prominent physicians who paid the closest attention to the speeches and points made.

Hon. Joel M. Longenecker was the first speaker. He made a powerful presentation of the issues of the pending campaign. Perry A.

Hull was called for and charged Republicans totand by the candidates on tbe Republican ticket. When he referred to the magnificent race McKlnley is making in Ohio there were rousing cheers and a flourishing of hats in the air. The enthusiasm was only heightened when the Third Ward's candidate for Circuit Judge, Elbridgr Hanecv, was mentioned. After MrTHufl came Nathaniel C. Sears, Republican nominee for the Superior court bench.

Mr. Sears discussed the Issues in a lawyer-like way, and tempered his reference to his political adversaries in a way which showed him to possess a Judicial mind. Among other things he said: I May I be pardoned while I answer some of the unjust accusations of a Democratic newspaper. I have no auurrhlstic sympathies. I love law snd order.

1 have no sympathy with a spirit of violence or turbulence or the sentiment which fulls under the name of anarchy. I yield to no man in my personal regard for the venerable Jurist whose name adonis the bead of the Republican list of Judges. I denounce ss unqualifiedly fl the statement that I hare ever been a candidate on any older ticket. I cast my iintt ballot for tbe Republican party and expect to cast my lust one for the same grand party which has always led in American progress, and now. fellow citizens.

Is the time to lay tbe corner-stone in ths rebuilding of the grand temple of prosperity by placing tbe Re publican party in power in tbls great city and county, then the State, and then the Nation." Major EL C. Moderwell, ex-State Senator, made a short but enthusiastic speech, advising voters to cast their ballots for a return to Republican prosperity. By a rising vote the audience pledged itself to the sup port of the straight Republican ticket.

Is Cleverly Pre- A company of yonng people, all more or less clever and as ambitious as they are intelligent, recently organized for the pur pose of giving what Is commonly known as amateur theatricals.

Last evening, they made their first bow to an interested and indulgent audience at the Douglas club, the play chosen being "A Russian Honeymoon," a comedy adapted by Mrs. Burton Harrison from the French of Eugene Scribe. The cast of characters was as follows: Alexis Petrovltch. a journeyman (afterward Guatave. Count Woroask) Mr.

Henry D. Coehlan Poleaka.Jils wife Miss Bertha Epplnghousen iiaroness ladimer, bis sister Miss Hallie Ermine Rh Ivan, a master Mr. s. N. Hoffhelmer Michellne, bis daughter Miss Hattie Fleming houukod uemetroviu Mr.

E. Marshall Stedman, Jr. Oslp, a young peasant Mr. Henry W. Urown It is gratifying to be able to say that these young people all did well, thai they entered upon their respective tasks with zest and cheer, and that the nlav was well rehearsed, if not always well handled from the tare manairer noint of view.

Mr. Coghlan appeared to tine advantage physio-ally, though his face was Told of expression. On the otber hand he read his lines with much intelligence. Mr. Hoffhelmer.

more at ease than the companions of bis sex, was excellent in make-np and naturally alive to the purpose of the play. Mr. Sted man misused his energies by exaggerating, but gavo signs oi dramatic adaptabil ity to eccentric character. Miss Rives and Miss Fleming added good looks to the pictures. Miss Eppinghansen, whoso face and manner are perfectly de scribed by waller in "The Spanish lmel.

made her debnt on the amateur stage and acquitted herself admirably. She was always a picture of aristocratic bearing and beauty, graceful movement, and only unnatural at moments when she pitched her voice In too high a key. It was a de cidedly pretty and fascinating performance, atronir in its contrasts and rich in its in tellectual quality. Truly a decided addi tion to our amateur theatrical forces. Soma Minor Notes.

Les EN frootea," was presented by M.

Ooquelln, Mmo. Hading, and their company last night, and the wonder with the admirably representative audience was that so capital a performance was reserved tor tbe end ot the engagement o( those esteemed artists. This is one of the plays that caused it to be said of Angler that ho waa tho foremost of modern Freaca dramatists, and as a work of art, tho evidence of dramatic genius. and a thorough knowledge of character, it do-served and still deserves the encomium. Sar-dou.

It Is true, has usurped tho place ones ae-eorded to Angler, bat ho is comparable to Augier only in skill as a constructor of seenes and incidents. Augler's characters are alive; they are real, and they are rational. Les Effrontss" a masterpiece, absorbingly interesting in story, striking la incident aad situation, at once a profound philosophy and a delightful comedy, its diction elegant, full of ugni ana snsde In that artistic distinction so characteristic of this author, and through it all run wit and sentiment that are as genuine as nature itself. It Is rather a complex plot, like most of those that Augier wove into his plays, but it Is never confused but is clear and holds the attention la every phase. Every character is sn In te.

eating study aad, happily for the purpose, each part la creditably olaved in the nerformanoe.tho principal ones being admirably assumed. Mmo. Hading impersonates the Marquise d'Auberive, who, hsvlng had aa affair with De Seglnle that was the eaase of her scua ration from the mar quis, la viewed askance by polite society, though her general fame has not suffered because of the altitude of the marquis, -who chose to sacrifice himself rather than bring pub lic dishonor to his Falling to secure the influence snd approval of the marquis in support of a scheme of his own. oae Vornouillet. direc tor of a paper, threatens to make calumnious use of tbe scan.L A calm, deliberate, unscrupulous ernoulllet has associated him with an excellent eccentric, a Bohemian, who affects to have all the vices but is really in the care of most of the virtues, a pcor devil with Latin and Greek and.

naturally, the philosophy of the socialist. This is Glboyer. the part played by M. Couuelin. and though a small part, de cidedly -original and a creation which, through the rare art of M.

Coquelin. becomes one of the vital factors of the evening's entertainment. Vernouillet's slanders, written, 'Indeed, by Glboyer, brlug the Marquis forward as the protector of tbe Marquise, a very excellent episode, gallantly met, the quietest challenge in the world, tho most dignified and gentlemanly ImuntnaMe. Vernoulllet Is the sort of fellow to say: "This duel will be lucky thing for me. It will put everything straight.

The marquis signs my diploma as gentleman. He Is a fine swordsman. He would never be so awkward as to kill me. I'll let him give me a scratch, which will qualify me to refuse all provocation In the future." A fellow of consummate effrontery he bears it to the end. snd because of.

Mme. Hading has a role in tbe Mar quise peculiarly suited to her, snd she portrays It with tbe utmost taste, good Judgment, and finish, giving an excellent performance.

Her exquisite grace and facial eloquence define the high-bred character with a fidelity that Is the more pleasing for being so enriched by the beauty of tbe woman. There are dramatic emer gencies where beauty heightens probability, and the woman gifted with such peculiar charm as that subtle In tbe fare and bearing of Mme. Hading teaches us at once the humanity of error and the readiness of pardon when tbe errant cry aloud for tho restoring grace. Delight fully as her work was done in general, there was nothing In her performance more Indicative of the sentient artiste than the treatment of the incident in tho third act when the Marquise, half incredulous, yet with a kindling gratitude. a rising joy.

stnWKlIn? with the consciousness of wrong, turns as the Marquis declares himself her protector and takes the arm that he extends to her. A beautiful little episode, eqeal to the dramatic strength of the situation, was Mme. lading's acting of the scene M. Coquelin. as Glboyer, was Irresistibly comical.

At first seen with long hair, tha ends carefully tucked under, his face covered with a long, curled beard, the comedian was a typical representative of a class of theorists who have a ready solution of all the problems ot woeful life. The drollery of his manner coincided with the easy humor of his speech, and, though Glboyer is self-depreciatory, it Is obvious enough that he has heart and Integrity and Is by no means from the same moral mold as his con frere snd employer. Later, when Glboyer gets into polite society, we Ond him with trimmed hair and clipped beard, but M. Coquelin shows us In tbe most artistically ludicrous manner possible that these betterments of personal appearance and the ad dition of a dress suit hsve by no means made the fellow less bohemian or more gentleman than he was when wo first beheld him. Coquelin is In but two acts, but ha compensates to ths expectant audience In redoubled pleasure for the disappointment that may have come with the ending of two acts without him.

Capital work was done by Chameroy as the marquis Mr. Hertz was thor oughly commendable as Verioulllet. No less praiseworthy were Messrs. Vol-ney, Maury, and Deroy. Mme.

Du-luo was agreeable as Clemence, and Mile. Baretz was good ss the countess. Indeed, this Is one of the best casts we have had in this engagement, and it will gratify admirers ot the fine art of this company to know that the same bin will be repeated to-night as the farewell performance. THAT COGHLAN ESCAPADE. New York, Oct.

27. SptHal TtUpram.Tae family affairs of the CoChlans have always teen conducted rather quietly. Miss Rose Cozhlan's first marriage, her divorce, and her second marriage having been carried out without any publicity, so that the mere fact that Charles Coghlan. who Is 52, has married, while in Indianapolis Miss Kuehne Beveridge, aged 18, of his company, suddenly snd at night, would not In Itself surprise any one. There Is a very strong feeling In the minds of the people who know Charles Coghlan that that gentleman has forfeited all claim to their consideration by reason of tbe fact brought out by the news ot his marriage Miss Beveridge.

Either he already had a wife with whom he lived In this city, or else he Imposed upon them by palming off a woman who bad no right to the name of wife, and that his daughter, Gertrude, is not the daughter of tbe woman with whom he has been living. Coghlan made an affidavit to the Western-authorities that he was never married before. In March of this year Charles Coghlan, with a lady, whom he introduced ss his wife, rented an apartment at the awell San Kerao. at Eighth avenue and Seventy-fifth street. were accompanied by a young lady whom they said was their daughter Gertrude.

The family was quiet and refined In manner and were accustomed to take a drive In their own trap through the nark. After being at the hotel months the Cogh-lans left the city and wont to Canada. The party had lived in various other parts of the city, and were considered a complete family. It seems that before procuring a marriage license, Mr. Coghlan sought legal advice upon the point of his alleged past marriage, asking whether any relations he might have sustained with any other person in tho past would Interfere with his marriage by the laws of Indiana.

Be gavo solemn assurance that no ceremony had ever been performed at any place, nor had he ever recognized the woman in question as his wife, and waa told that under the Indiana law. no was tree to marry and that too Indiana ceremony would bo bind' ing ths -world over.

CAUSE, BARREL OF WHISKY Two lives Lost and Several People Injured. Many Tenomont-hoo ses Destroyed by Falling; Wall Exciting Scenes and Incidents.

PrmBtrao, Oct 27. Special TtUiram. A whole block of buildings, with their contents, worth nearly one million dollars, burned, two live lost, and a number of men maimed and injured, is tho result of aa explosion of a barrel of whisky la tho warerooms of tho Pittsburg- Storage; company and the Chaatanqua Lake Ice company to-day. The fire, which caused tho destruction of life and property, waa ono of the worst ever seen in Pittsburjr. It broke out at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and seven nonrs later was still burning'.

With the exception of fifty feet the flames leveled everything; on the block bounded by Twelfth. Thirteenth, Pike, and Mulberry streets. Considerable property between Penn avenue and Mulberry street was destroyed by falling- walls which toppled over on tenement honses and small shops, crushing- them as if they were cigar boxes. The thirty or forty families occupying; the honses had barely time to escape with their lives. About half of them lost all they owned except what they could pick np in their wild flight.

To add to the horror tbe ruins took fire, and what was not destroyed by weight was consumed by the flames. The fire was discovered by Edward Spies while packing goods on the third floor of the seven story building. Before be could reach the stairway a sheet of flame drove him back. He took refuge on the coping of a window fifty feet from the ground. The flames swept out and over him, burning his hands and face and tbe flesh drooned Poff.

He hung on to the window bv his blistering hands until rescued by firemen. Uy this time tbe whole third floor was burning. In thirty minutes one wall fell out, burying a row of tenement houses occupied "by twenty families. The latter were panic-stricken as they rushed from their houses. The people were Slavs and Polish Jws, and many were hurt, coming down the stairways.

Women and children were trampled nnder foot and left to get out tbe best way they could. Fortunately all escaped before the crash came, but many were badly injured. Burned Uka Paper. The storage buildings, while apparently all one, were seven separate buildings KAtic 31)0 feet, with three-foot fire walls and doors, which were consumed like paper. They were studded with small windows for ventilation only.

These prevented the firemen from throwing water into the structure. As tbe buildings were supposed to be fire proof no provision had been made for allowing water to be thrown into them. On one floor, where there were no windows, were stored 300 barrels of whisky twenty-five years old. Every drop of it was destroyed. For hours the thousands of spectators wstcbed the firemen fighting the whisky flames, and many a sigh went up on account of the great waste.

In another part of the building were sixty more barrels of whisky, which were also destroyed. Tbe warehouses were filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods stored there by city merchants. Much of the stuff was summer stock, which could not be sold on account of the financial depression and was being held over until next season. The only things saved were seven carloads of merchandise which stood on the ground floor and were pulled out by a- shifting engine through the flames and smoke. The tire, which started in the center of the building ate its way to both ends.

At 3 o'clock the scene was a grand one. Standing four stories high were tbe heavy, gaunt walls, filled with apperttires for windows, the upper edge ragea ana Droaen, wnere tne top stories bad fallen way. Through the small windows and breaks in the wall it looked like a iurnace. Alter tne two buildings were gutted all tbe walls crumbled. The ware house oi tne ttoeveler storage company caught fire and passed the flames along.

In thia connection I can say that the names of the chiefs will bo perpetuated with tbe exhibits from their departments. This work is considered oi so much im portance that tbe Chicago university and the Armour institute, both of which have been soliciting exhibits for.

themselves, have ceased and are now soliciting for the museum. They think it should have the first choice, and that the effect will cer tainly be to tbe benefit of their students. There are now in the field working like Trojans to secure material for the museum Dr. Chamberlain, of tbe Chicago university, Dr. Gunsaulns, and Frank O.

Logan. Others, too, are doing us good service." To Professor Jr. W. Putnam should be given credit for the first suggestion leading to the establishment of the Columbian mu snem. His ideas, and none better have been since advanced, were embodied in a paper read before tbe Commercial club in this city on the evening of Nov.

28, 1S9L Until last August, however, no especial steps were taken toward advancing the work, but at that time the matter was ajrain brought np and shortly after a board of trustees was appointed. For the Dissemination of Knowledge. A charter waa procured which in a general way states the object of the museum to be for the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge and the preservation and exhibition of objects illustrating art, archaeology, science, and history. To this charter are afllxed the names of Edward E. Ayer, Charles B.

The next step was to appoint a eommittee to receive contributions from whatsoever source offered, and to select and purchase such objects of interest as should be deemed of sufficient vsiue to be placed in the col lection destined to be the finest ever at tempted in this or any age. 1 Of that committee Professor Putnam was made chairman, and, as his assistant in the work of receiving- and raring for contributions. Ralph Metcalf, in the office of foreign affairs of the Columbian Exposition, was appointed.

in the arrangement of the museum it is probable that Professor Putnam's plan will be closely followed. He advised that at the beginning the museum should be divided into as few departments as possible, suggesting, principally, five geology, mineralogy, botany, zoology, and anthropology. 1 be department of geology will include everything relating to the structure of the eat th illustrated by the structure of the rocks and tbe method of their formation, the structure of mountains and vallevs and the formation of lakes and rivers. In this department will also be included economic geology, with special reference to rocks used in the arts-ores, coal, petroleum, natural gas, salt, clays, and other products used by man. accompanied by illustrations of the methods by which they are obtained Irom tne eartn.

The department of mineralogy will be devoted to minerals, gems, and ores so ex hibited as to show their structnre and con stituents, their occurrence in nature, and their nsea. In this department will also be an economic division of great practical value. The vegetable kingdom, both living' and fossil, will, of course, be fully represented in the botanical department, the economic section 'showing the use of plants to man, and fully setting forth the thousands essential to his comfort and health in varions Darts of the world. In jurious plants will occupy a section by themselves, while another will be devoted to lower and microscopic forms of plant life. The zoblogical department will contain all manner of animals living and fossil.

stuffed skins and alcoholic specimens, skeletons, and anatomical ore Da rations. The economic sections will be of value as show ing animals nsed by man for food and other purposes. Aias as ne exists to-day, and as he ex isted through geologic and prehistoric times, will be seen in the anthropological department. IS early hall of the articles in the archaeological, ethnological, and anthro pological exhibit will become a part of the museum. Professor Putnam and his sssistants worked for two years on the collection.

All of the products of their labor belong to tbe World's Columbian Exposition company and will be turned over to the Columbian musuem. This part of the exhibit includes the archaeology ot tho Delaware valley from glacial gravels down to the Indians including findings on the sites oi Indian villages, ancient burial places. relics of the mound-builders and models of the mounds the archaeology of the South Barbara islands on the California coast.and smaller archaeological collections from dif-ferent parts of the country.

A complete exhibitef the ethnology of the Northwest coast tribes from the Colombia river to Behring's strait will be made. Thia collection is rich in archie-ologlcal and ethnological exhibits gathered in the Southwest of the United States, where the cliff dwellers lived.

In Mexico, Central America, and South America, through which the history of tbe ancient Aztecs, Toltees, and Peruvians is -studied: also casts of the ruins found in Yucatan. Professor Putnam will also give much from his anthrophological laboratory. Professor Putnam ssys thst in this department the Columbian museum will come into existence much richer than many an old and famons museum and equally as rich as any in the world. Chief Willard A. Smith, of tbe Transportation building, promises that the contributions from bis building will make a picture of the evolution of methods of transportation by land and sea, from the old ox-cart and floating log down to the vestibuled train and modern steamship.

It will also Include odd and characteristic displays from all parts of the world and will show how the children of the earth in every clime shorten time in traveling. Nearly half of tbe mining exhibit as it stands now, will go tf the museum, Chief Skiff says. Almost every State and every foreign nation has expressed an intention of giving something to the museum. Chief Barrett says tbe Electricity building holds practically nothing whiefi would properly belong In the museum. Proyresa in electrical science is so rapid that the appliance or invention of today is useless to-morrow, snd electrical companies are so thoroughly utilitarian that tbe supplanted appliance always goes to tbe melting pot.

The only exhibits of historical value at The Fair are a couple of old dynamos in the German section. However, Professor Barrett baa invoked the assistance of Thomas Edison, the Brush, the Thomson-Houston, the Westinghonse, and the Bell Telephone companies and expects to gather from them valuable historical relics bearing upon the telesraDh. the in candescent and are lights, electromotion, and telephones. Professor Barrett has In the city hall a valuable collection relating' to police telephone and fire alarm systems, which be will turn over to the mnseum. From other departments many valuable contributions will be made.

Chief Allison, of the department of manufactures, is meet ing great saoewa. and will make a report next week. It is even now sure that the museum will from tbe first overshadow in importance even the famous Smithsonian institution of Washington. KO MUNICIPAL BCSIXESS TO-DAY.
