A (lect ins the World. New Yobk, August 2L Decimated as Is the business community to day. the reported difficulties of Mitchell, Vance Co. aro the subject of talk wherever business men have met.

Only oue member of tho firm is' in the city nnd his Hps are padlocked and double fastened. There is good reasuu to suppose, however, that at an early day, Kosibly to morrow, application will be made in court for a receiver for the firm, witu the view of a'ljmtlug its airairs. It is said that the firm will be reorganized and that all lejfnl proceedings will be shaped with tho view io a friendly solution 01 the various problems presented by the business showing of the past year or so. To the end Unit he plans of tboso who bring the actio progress iu the line desired, it Is said thai Charles L. Mitchell, nephew of the senior member of tho company, bus been agreed upon by tnoso directly interested as mc receiver.

Mr. Mitchell is a man of wealth and position, living at New Haven, cod having a tine country seat on the Sound few miles from that city. A trip to New Haven was made yesterday by the company' secretary prooamy to arrange this maitcr. No one should understand that the company will suspend business or do nuythlug else that rnav imuair its reontalioti or credit. It is the largest manufacturer of metal gtKids In tho couutrv, and has de servedly coined fortunes lor lis managers.

Of late, however, 11 claims tt have sintered from insufficient business. The expense attending the company's operation is enormous, and nothing short of princely Income can make ends meet. That Income 1h said to have been disappointing of lute, hence tho proposed uctlon through tbe courts, the course suggested being the one ally rcouired of coroora tions, Mitchell, Vaace Co. are lncnrH raled. Naturally as soon as il becamo whis pered nnoui inm something or the Kind proposed was likely business men remembered tiie unfortunate speculations of Mr.

Wilcox, once president of tho company, and the rumors fotlowiug his suicide. Next they began to ask each other whether his losses might not. have undermined th firm and whether a consequent collapse inlgbt not be impending. Ku mor soon became busy with the names of outer nouses uigu iu iue mercantile worm whoso members from time to time have goue un like a rocket and come down like a slick In speculation. All such lalk is of course aiscreet, tor consciouceiess as wan street may be aud sharp as is business com fietltion, great caution is observed iu circu atiug rumors that may alfect buslucss credit.

The time for open legal action in case of Mitchel, Vance A is probably so near mat nothing can tiegaiued by repeating any of the rumors alfectinif that houseor others. It may be said thai should the company's posilton turnout to be us above outllucd, and should no other large mercantile house become In auy way compromised within a short time, a great load will be lifted from me business community. STABBED IN" THE BACK. Daniel Coyle Cut Charles Johnson and Makes His Escape. At 6 o'clock last evening, Charles Johnson, a man 41 years of age, who lives at No, 9 Queen street, was stabbed in tbe left side of the back at Swansou and lueen streets by Daniel Coyle, a notorious down town rough, about 22 years of age, who escaped.

Coyle aud Bovoral com panions were standing on the corner of Kwanson street, and as Johnson passed them with his drunken wife leaning upon him, Coyle laughed and said, "Full ugaiu, I see." Johnson resented tho remark and told Coyle that It was none of his business. Coyle swore back at Johnson, who left his wile on a aoor slep and walked up lo coyle. They began to tight nnd Johnson overpowered the rough, who drew a big biaded Ceukulfo and Jabbed it Into bis opponent's ack. Johnson dropped and Coyle took the ad viceoi his companions aud "smppea.

A Second district olflcer found Johuson lying on the sidewalk and sent blm to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Hi drunken wife was asleep on the step and was too much under the influence of liquor to he told of her bus band's mishap. Tbe doctors al the hospital say that Johnson's cut is not fatal. The police are looking down town for Coyle. A PAIK OP RUXAAVAYS.

They Make It Exciting for the Crowds on the East. Park River Drive. As a carriage and pair was being driven past tbo boat houses In Fnlrinouut Park yesterday afternoon, the horses, a dappled gray and a brown mare, took fright and dnshed at a tremendous pace along the new drive. The coachman, James ftharp, lost all coutrol of tbe animals, and though he tried bard to arrest their headlong course, his efforts wore entirely powerless. A number of carriages and other vohieles were being driven ahead of the runaways, and as the latter dashed along it Beemed every moineut as if a collision wu Inevitable.

The greatest excitement prevailed among those driving ahead of tbe team and the pedestrians who lined the pathway. Home of the latter made efforts to stop tho horses, but only frightened them more and redoubled I heir speed. Close on the Ulrard avenue bridge they were pretty well winded and, as iney were passtug underneaiu the brown mare stumbled and fell, dragging tho other horse with her and pulling the coach man on tue nox. The horses escaped Injury and the only damage done the coachman, who was tbe only occupant of the carriage, was a slight abrasion of the leg. A BLOODY AFFRAY.

The convention of employes of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company called for the consideration of various matters in dispute between the employes and the company, assembled here to day. Although not distinctly a Knight of Labor convention, it was composed exclusively of members of that organization.

The delegates numbered about two hundred, representing the whole line of the road lie.tweeu Philadelphia and Willianisport. They were in appearance a decidedly intelligent hody of men, comparing favorably with tiny political convention ever assembled in this county. The early part of tho day was occupied by those of the delegates already on thu ground in discus sing unolKcially the various questions expected to come before the convention am! awaiting tho arrival of those frmn more distant points, and it was three o'clock before the convention, which met i i Knight of Labor Hall, was called to order. The meeting was strictly secret, and although representatives of the leading papers were on the frronnd reporters were rij'idly excluded. This exclusion was extenued to neu who were both Knights of Labor and employes of the Kcadiug Railroad, none but accredited delcgaies being admitted.

The afternoon session continued until 6 o'clock, thu time being spent ill the discussion of a variety of triovanccs, but without reaching a determinate conclusion upon any important subject. The convention at that hour took a feciss until 8 P. M. The evening session continued until midnight. A variety of grievances wcto presented and discussed and referred to committees for adjudication with the officials of the company.

The most important of these were the quest ion of color blind examinations and the dismissal of the three obnoxious officials at Heading. As to the last mentioned of these Secretary Benjamin and the other officers of the convention declined to give for publication any information in regard to the action taken. The whole matter of the color blind test was recommitted to the original committee of thirteen which has held conferences with tho Heading oflicials with power to act, their action to be final. This committee will meet the Reading officials at once, and the probability is that an amicable agreement will bo reached. Tho tone of the convention was conservative throughout, and after adjournment the spirit of the delegates indicated that they did not apprehend any serious trouble.

B. J. Sharkey, of Philadelphia, presided Delegates were present from Elizabeth, N. to Williamsport, Pa. GLOUCESTER'S FIRE EATER, Dancing: a Jig In His Hare Feet on Red Hot Iron Flatus.

Of the galaxy of freaks that have flocked to Gloucester since beer can't bo had in this city on Sunday the king of them all arrived yesterday, and hisraveuousappetito for red hot iron, melted sealing kerosene oil and steel swords gained the admiration of all who put up ten cents to see him, The fire eater performed Inside a little can vas euclosure just back of Billy Thompson's new pavilion, ball' way up the beach to Miko llaggcrly's. The fire eater was on ex hloiliim every hour Just outside the enclosure. He wore a striped Jersey cap and a iaaca green sun covered witn spangles aud a pair of old black and while He looked like a Turk "on his The ouiiu uaa unuouoieuiy seen oeiu tiaysaua looked as 11 il uad been worn by some eor geous knight In a circus ring mauy moons ago. While the fire eater posed In front, with his breast beaviug with pride, a young man sang out in a hiuh key "This is Professor Mnrtog, the greatest living wonaeroi me world, tie is nre proor, ladles and gentlemen, absolutely flre nroof. He could lay Iu a burning building until only tbe walls were left aud then get up und walk out.

Just step inside and watch this wonder of the world eat sticks of red hot iron as a baby would bite a mint stick. Look at his tongue. It's like piece of iron." At this Juncture the "Professor" opened his mouth nud stuck out his tongue.

It was very black and looked like the tongue of an old shoe. After the crowd of men and boys hnd gazed ou the Professor's tongue In adinlrliig wonder for a minute or two, tbe "Professor" closed his mouth and again folded his arms aud struck an attitude something like Ajax defying the lightning. Then thcyoung man continued: "why. when the l'rofenor dies the Medical College is going 10 taae uis oooy. i ney re going lo pav for It.

They're going to cut blm up and pickle him. Bui don't believe me. Head the newspapers. You've nil read about the Prolcssor In tbe newspapers of course you have. One hundred and twenty five thousand dollars is a good deal of mouey, you'll think, but the Jefferson Medical College ain't going to slop at any price to got tho professor's body.

Now, walk right In and pay on the Inside." The "Professor" disappeared and about fifty of tho crowd euUired and paid their dimes. There was no roof to the enclosure and no seals. Gloucester sand was the floor and the Professor" performed on a rough hemlock stage one foot hieh nnd five feet square. He had a furnace handy, tilled with rods of irou. The first act was placing a bur of steel, five feet long, between his teeth and theu bending II double Willi his bauds.

Then the "Professor" took a rod of red hot Iron om of his furnace, ran il over his tongue several times and then smacked bis lips as if be had Just swallowed a dainty morsel. Then be bit off about two lucbes of the iron aud rolled It around In his mouth aud spll II out. The fire eater was very Jolly, and Interjected his acts with bits of wit that had been gathered up for years with a traveling circus in tbe provinces of Great Ilrituin. Then bo took four swords, each three feet long, put them ou top of each other, opened bis mouth wide and swallowed the cold steel up lo the hills. Then he pulled one sword outol his throat at a time, threw them down ou the rlenely stage and grinned, while his audience applauded vigorously.

The Professor'' next took oft" his moccasins and took two roil hot Iron plates out of the furnace and twirled them ou to the stage, and after dipping his feet In a pall of water he began lo dunce what he called a Itmlirhl have been a mode of torture during Ihe Spanish Inquisition, the performance looked so cruel, but tho "Professor'' dldu't mind It. Tim Jig looked more like the antics of au Indian medicine mini I Imn lie regulation Jig men ou the variety singe. The l'rofiwir" danced for dear life lor or lour in lun ten in bis bare feet.

The Booty Recovered The Boy Read Dime and Will Go to the House of Itefuae. The picinresaue home of Ex Receiver of Taxes John Hunter, on Lansdowne avenue, between Fifty fifth, and Fifty sixth streets, was invaded by an incipient burglar yesterday Mr.

Hunter recently closed up his residence and weut to Asbury Park, leaving the fine old mansion in charge of his gardener. Several squares above, ot 5809 Lansdowne avenue, lives William Tonilin, an old aud experienced member of the Fire Department. He is tho father of a fburteeii year old terror, Willie Tomlin. The boy is a devoted admirer of five cent literature of tho dime novel order and he has several times given his father considerable trouble by imitating the lawless actions of his pet heroes. DIME NOVEL DID IT.

Little Willie read a story last week by one of his favorite authors. It was called Dark Lautern Jimmy, tho Young Burglar of Phil adelphia," aud it fired his youthful ambi tion. He determined to win as much famo and booty as the mythical hero of the story, and yesterday morning, while his mother and sister were at church, little Willie donned one of his father's old slouch hats, two sizes too big for htm, and started out ou his career of crime aud glory. John Hunt er's house was selected as the most available spot for his nefarious purpose. Often had tho lad stolen apples from the fruitful orchard, and had lied from the vengeful wrath of the faithful old gardener.

The embryo housebreaker knew every nook aud cranny of the place, and he knew just where to go in order to break into the bouse in the easiest possible manner. The boy scaled tho fence surrounding the back prem ises and crept cautiously up to a rear win dow looking into the kitchen. JUST LIKE A REAL BURGLAB. After cautiously glancing around In tho most approved burglar like manner and satisfying himself that he was alono and unobserved the hopeful disciple of Jack Shcppard dashed his fist through a pane of the wiudow aud unfastened the catch. He noiselessly raised the shattered sash and climbed inside.

All the valuables wero se curely locked np, but the lad pillaged the place thoroughly, managed to gather to gether a lot of household odds and ends worth probably about $25 and then prepared to decamp. He first tied the booty into a convenient bundle with a lot of string which be found in the dresser drawer. Then he wrapped a figured red table cover around it and dropped it out the back window. Then the nimble young robber jumped out after it and started homeward. But he was not destined to escape so easily.

The vigilant old gardener, who was busilv inspecting his beloved plants, saw the wayward boy pick up the bundle and run, and he gave chase. CHASED BY THE GAItDliNER. Hampered by the heavy package Willie made slow progress and the gardener rapidly gained on him. Finally he realized that it was impossible to save himself and the booty too, and tho boy dropped his bundle and soon distanced his pursuer. The gardener did not stop to pick up the handle, but went down Lansdowne avenne to look for a policeman.

Then the hoy did some thing that few desperate cracksmen would have done. Although he had been detected and identified by the gardener, who was well acquainted with the lad, he returned to the house he had robbed as soon as he saw the gardener go down the road and secured the bundle which he had been forced to drop. He lugged it borne and managed to get it in the house without being seen by his parents, He hid it in his room on the top floor. THE BCROLAB CAPTURED. The gardenor found Officer Hngan, of the Sixteenth district, and told him of tbe robbery.

The policeman went to Willie's homo and placed him under arrest. The boy was badly frightened when the burly olhccr laid his hand upon his shoulder, and he confessed everything. Ilogau found the stolen goods and took them to the station house. He did not lock the boy up, as his father promised to bring him to tbe station house for a hearing this morning. Mr.

Tomlin says the boy is wild and unmanageable, and he will probably be committed to the House of Refuge, where ho will be kept until be is of age. SCHOENISERG OB STBAUSS. HI Wire Admit lie Ha Gone West and Doe Not Expeet Him Baok. The tory of the Identity of Forger Hcboen bergandan adventurer named Mtrauss, In New York, published exclusively In The TlMnsyesterduy, caused no little sensallou in the city, and many of the victim of tbe plausible brewer are blaming themselve that they did not look up tbe career of the muu who was supposed to have million, but whose only fortune was the possession of a smooth tongue and confiding mnnuor.

She acknowledged thai schoenberg was out West and she did not think he would return. Hho did not intend to follow hliu at prinent, a she has her private fortune to live upon.

Carried Out by a Treacherous Undertow and Unable lo Gel Back. His Wife, Who Was in the Surf With Him, Rescued by J. Top liff Johnson. Dr. A.

Kandolph, professor of physiology at the University of Pennsylvania, was in the best of health and buoyant spirits at noon yesterday. Tea minutes later he was a corpse. Ho went in bathing at Lougport, at the extreme end of Absccon Island, shortly before 12 o'elock. Thcro were several of his friends in the surf, principally people who live at Germautown and who form a little 6uinmer colony this season at Lougport. Professor Kandolph lived at 132 Price street, Germantown.

Ho bad been scampering about in the ocean for half an hour before he met with his tragic end. The sea was not running high and Professor Kandolph went out with his wife a guod ways to meet the laggard breakers, whose curling wreaths of white caps biuke far out beyond where tbey dash in sprc.y on a windy day. Nobody ihought that they were out too iar. There was no fear for their safety because Professor Kandolph wa3 considered a good bather, and whilo he was a short, stout man, weighing nearly 200 pounds, ho was agiie and sure fuolod. CABBIED OUT BY THE UNDEB TOW.

Ill going to meet the breakers, however, Professor Randolph went to his death. Ho had let go his' wife's hand and was caught by the deadly undertow that carried him swiftly aud almost imperceptibly into deep water, and then when be discovered that he was being taken out to sea he tried to get back, but the current was too much for him. He struggled hard to get back into shallow water, but his strength failed him and it is supposed that his fright and his struggle to save himsolf brought on heart trouble and when he sank out of sight behind a big roller there was only one cry and that died in the breakers' roar because thero was not sufficient wind to carry tho dying man's voice back to the shore. Thosa who saw him sink the first time did not see him rise. His body was recovered late last night.

MRS. RANDOLPH'S NARROW ESCAPE. While her husbaud was struggling for his life Mrs. Randolph was beyond tho bound ary line of safety for tboso who are not ex pert swimmers. Apparently she did not realize hor husband's fate or see that ho was drowning, for a breaker had lifted her off her feet and she was also struggling in the water.

Among the bathers was J. Top liff Johnson, the well known law book publisher of No. 535 Chestnut street. who lives at 211 Winona avenue, Oernian town. Ho hurried to Mrs.

Kandolph and caught her in his arms just as she became unconscious. She was carried to the shore and immediately taken to her rooms at the Hotel Aberdeen, where she remained thor oughly prostrated during the day and last night. Nobody told her of her husband's death and she was kept in ignorance of it for tear that it would atlect her recovery. PROFESSOR RANDOLPH'S BUSY LIFE. Professor Kandolph was one of the best known physicians in Philadelphia.

He was even bettor known among his profession than physicians of a much larger practice, He was known to his colleagues through his busy pen, and be burned many lampsful of midnight oil in contributing to contempora neous medical literature when most of his fellows were asleep. He and Dr. C. W. Dulles wero the editors and publishers of the Med ical and Surgical Reporter, a weekly; the quarterly Compendium of Medical Science and The Physician's Daily Pocket Register: a Guide for Physicians." Their offices were in the second story at the north east corner of Thirteenth and Walnut streets, over Stryker Ugden's drug store.

There wore also consulting rooms tor nhvsicians ana tneir omoes have been a sort ot profes sional dropping in place for physicians, where they could find all the medical newspapers anu magazines in the country on Hie. Pro fessor Kandolph was graduated from the university ot Pennsylvania in 1SH2 and shortly afterward became instructor in Phv siology. He was very popular with tho stu dents. He was only aboutas years old. He had a full, round face, a heavy black mous tache aod was very jolly and fond of telling stories.

While Dr. Dulles reported the proceedings of medical meetings for the Medical and Surgical Reporter Professor Kandolpl: wrote ail tne editorials and wielded an in cisive pen. A promiuent physician said last night that the news of Dr. Randolph's death would be a great (hock to those who knew him aud that he was one of the most promising men in the profession iu Phila acipuia. The physician also said He rose more rapidly in his profession, both as a practitioner and a writer, than one doctor in a hundred does." Professor Kandolph was a member of the lollego or Physicians and the County Med cal Society.

Ho was to have attended as delegate the International Medical Congress which is to be held In Washington on the in ot septemher. HIS LAST PROFESSIONAL WORK. Dr. Dulles, the dead man's partner in medical literature, has been very sick for some time, and is now confined to his bed nt the Wiscasset Hotel, Mount Pocono, Monroe county, near tho Delaware Water Gap. Dr.

Kandolph had been prescribing for his sick partner right along. Last Friday alter noon he went into Stryker Ogdcn's drug store, and wrote out a prescription and told Mr. hiryter lo forward the medicine to Mount Pocono at once. That was the last prescription Professor Kandolph wrote. An hour afterward he left the citv for Longport.

Dr. Dulles had been so ill for a time that his friends feared he would not recover, and Professor Kandolph frouiiently went into the drug store and while writing proscriptions for his sick partner remarket! his fear that ho would not get well. Only a lew flays ago lie remarked 'May bo boll pull through and outlive me. DROWXED IN THE DELAWARE, Little Maude Carter Loao Iter Life In Ihe River nt ISurllngton. RrmLiNOTOx, August 21.

Ohio has had a say for Sherman, with Foraker as the marplot be tween Sherman aud Blaine. Pennsylvania has eiiren Blaine a wink with a strong ma terialization of Sherman in the background. Next it will be New York's turu.

Indiana Republican politicians say that their delega tion will bo untrummelcd by instructions, although there will be Gresham, Harrison and Porter men in it. They will keep their eyes open to the main chance for the first place, but if tho choice should go East they will make a strong pull for the second place for Harrison. They claim that his fight in the State last year developed such elements of personal strength and expert management that he would be able to carry the ticket with a good man at the head in the contest of next year. They do not mention Blaine, however. As he is the only Eastern candidate who might beat the West on a choice the prospects ot the Indi ana Senator do not appear very luminous.

The Indianiaus might be williug to throw their votes into the B'aitie hopper at the proper time for a similar courtosy oa the part of Mr. Blaine's friends.

Tbe daily average temperature for the season, from January 1 to August 20, has ranged from onedegree to two degrees abovo the normal in the central valleys, und it has been slightly cooler than usual at stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and from Lake Superior westward to Montana.

Saved From Immediate Death by His Friend, But Will Die All tho Erutes Effect Their Escape. Pesqualc Lamanaio, a handsome young Italian, 33 years oil, lay unconscious on a cut in the Pennsylvania Hospital last night with five ttjly kaifu wounds iu his body. He was the victim of a gang of toughs and was being cut to death on the street last night when Frank Bartilucci, an eaglo oyed, courageous little man, rushed out of his cijj'ar store, at 75 South Seventh street, with a club and drove back tho cowardly gang, but not bsforo Lamanaio had been stabbed near the heart.

Lamanaio was on a visit to his friend, Cigar Dealer Bartilucci, when beaten and stabbed. He and Bartilucci wero hoys together in their native village in the interior of Italy, about ninety miles from Naples. Lamanaoi's father was an officer in an artillery corps of the Italian army. The boy was expected to become a soldier, but ho preferred a mora peaceful pursuit and learned the trade of cabinet making. Six years ago he came to this country and has been working at his trade on Brown street, between Fourth and Fifth streets.

A COWARDLY ASSAULT. Yesterday evening he left his home at 640 Carpenter street to call on hiB friond Bartilucci. About 9 o'clock ho was sitting in front of tho cigar store chatting with Stanso Pctro and Capace Antonio, who had como up from their home at Seventh and Morris streets, when a crowd of ten young men came down Seventh street. Get onto do Dagoes," shouted a swaggering tough, and tho next minute his companions turned toward the three Italians. They paid no attentiou to the crowd when a comedian in tho gang niado an alleged funny remark, and then the roughs pushed each other against tho chairs of Lamanaio and his friends.

The Italians did not resentthe insult until the big tough caught Lamanaio and ordered hiui to git cigars for the crowd," when the young Italian jumped up. lie was about to walk away when he was struck iu the neck and knocked against the house. The gang had made a combined attack on tho Italians when Lamanaio saw the Hash of a knife and snatched up a chair to defend himself. As ho raised it to guard his face one of the, toughs stabbed him in the abdomen. STABBKD FIVK TIMES.

As Lamanaio reeled tho crowd followed him up, and tbe knife was buried in his arm as he threw it up to ward off tho gleaming blade as it was aimed at his neck. He made a desperate rally against the gang, but tho murderous roughs closed in ou him on all sides. While some were slugging him on the back tho knifo was buried in his left shoulder. A blow meant for his head missed him, but he soon felt tho steel in his left side. The blood was pouring from his wound and he was staggering for the street when the man with tho knife again rushed on him.

With an oath the tough struck him with his left fist and the next instant sank the knife into Lamaniao's breast. The glistening knifo was raised to be again buried in the young Italian's breast, when Bartilucci, who had been in the second story of his house, rushed out in time to knock the uplifted knife from the hand of the rufhan. I'etro and Antonio had fought their way into the cigar store and the gang made a combined rush for Lamanaio and his rescuer, when Lamanaio pulled the wounded man into the store and barred the doors against the gang. THE ASSASSIX8 ESCAPE. The murderous work had been quickly done, but an excited crowd of Italians and Russian Jews were running from tho neighboring alleys and streets when the cowardly assassins made a break in different directions and escaped.

It took but a glance to show that Lamanaio was dangerously stabbed and his friend immediately took him to the Pennsylvania Hospital. The wound in the left breast, a deep knife thrust, almost touched the heart, aud tho other wounds in the side and abdomen were found to be of a serious nature, whilo the slashes on tho shoulder and arm were ugly and painful, llo will probably die, although the handsome Italian's magniliceut physique will be a strong ally iu his battle for life. When the surgeons had dressed tho wounds of tho stabbed man an Italian youth, almost breathless, rushed into the receiving ward, Whoh ho saw tho pale face ot the unconscious man there was a pathetic scene as tho youth urged tho wounded man to speak. Tho boy said ho came from Lamauaio's native village, und that the unconscious man had taken him and was teaching him tho trade of a cabinetmaker. He said Lamanaio was an industrious and sober man.

Ho seut part of his earnings to his mother iu Italy while he supports his two sisters at his homo on Carpcuter trcct.

The Coining Trip West and South. Blaine's Indorsement by Pennsylvania Causing Discussion. Washisgtok, August 21. The departure of Colonel Laraont for New York has left the President the sole occupant of Oak View. Even the prerogatives of supreme rank have their inconveniences.

The President's daily vibrations are between the Executive Mansion and Oak View, and now that his private secretary is not on hand to lessen the monotony of official and social isolation the household at Oak. View is dreary enough. With Secretory Witney in town the proximity of Grassland made an exchange of visits and informal dinners a pleasant mode of diversion, but he has gone to Bar Harbor to take a tarn at fashion, sea air and salt water for the whole mouth of September. Sirs. Cleveland's early return Trill once more re tore life to the lonely household at Oak View.

It is noticeable iu the domestic vocabulary of the President's family that its members when speaking of Oak View invariably call it "home," while the official residence of the President is always the Executive Mansion." The only members of the administration who are in the city are Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild. Tho Misses Bayard, who are enjoying life at Kchoboth Beach and on the Ne.r England coast, will not return for sev cral weeks. Meanwhile the Secretary livesd alone at his Washington ice. Secrc tarv Fairchild and Mrs. Faj 1 will'leavc Wednesday for Bar Harbo after which they will pass lovt visit, as at the usual with Mrs.

FairchilcYi Linckhien mansion atCaz Secretary Entlicott has joined his cott homestead at Salem. Garland is restoring his primitive surroundings away down iu Arkansas, cral Vilas is quietly of his Vice Presidential the Endi General the Hill." Gen trains hi'M esi dence at the capital of Wi Lamar is cooling the an lal duty and matrimony in tho eh osphere of the White Mountains. The President has no plans in view which contemplate leaving tho capital until his departure for Philadelphia. Mrs. Lamont, with her two children, lias been spending the summer at her home in Cortland county, New York.

That will be the objective point of Private Secretary, Lamont visit, but the interest ot tne art ministration in tho approaching State Con vcution will not be overlooked. The coming gathering of theDemoci New York is likely to lead to some ven niucant developments. While the rounders were clamoring for places would not be comforted because they were not forthcoming, the President, with tho aid of his private secretary, has been quietly perfecting an organization which will make itself felt within tho next twelve months in the affairs of the Democratic party and the national campaign. In this important work the President could not have found any where a person more competent to fill its requirements than Colonel Lamont. He held practically tho same relations in party mobilization and movements to Samuel J.

Tilden during the most vigorous campaigns of the Democratic party within the past ten years. It was Mr. Manning, that shrewd judge of men and' merit, who discovered the political astuteness of the young man from Cortland county and brought him to tho attention of the Sage of Groystone. With such a field before him it did not take long for Lamont to demonstrate his usefulness, and naturally he was recommended to tho new Governor, who had not given much attention to politics beyond the limits of Erie county. It is interesting to take a retrospect of the past two years and a half of Democratic politics.

The President entered his office with a very clear idea of what he proposed to do iu a party sense. Under the circumstances of his surroundings aud tho pressure which has been brought to bear from all quarters, not to speak of threats and clamor, ho has succeeded better than any of his predecessors who have undertaken such a herculean task. The reason that tho mutterings of disappointment are no longer heard is because the young, vigorous and aggressive men of the party, who are abreast of the times, have been brought to the front, and tho ancient barnacles who helped to scuttle the Democratic ship have been sent to the bottom. The political rubbish of the last quarter of a ceutury has been thrown overboard and tho ship lightenod and trimmed for the campaign of 18S8. A careful and disinterested inquiry from competent sources very conclusively sets forth the fact that the talk of the inability of tho President to poll the vote of his party, has no other foundation than the vauishing reverberations of the first twelve months of the administration.

Even those who wero foremost then in criticism are now not idle in their efforts to catch on. Tho President has quietly, and insensibly to the outer world, reorganized the Democratic party. Its leaders under the new regime are the nctive men of this political generation. In the campaign twelve months hence they are to determine the measure of the contest which is to decide whother the Democratic party is to continue in power or whether the Kepublicansareto return to their old place at tho head of affairs. The President's trip West and South will consummate what he began against so many odds and antagonisms.

A short eighteen months ago it would have been anything but pleasant to have made a journey from the capital to Kansas City and the Northwest. Now the whole country is waiting to receive him. llo will have an ovation which few Presidents have enjoyed. Even the howling Hoosiers of the Wabash aro in a state of exuhcrenco over his prospective coming and propose to "paint the town red when ho visits their capital. When tho political machinery of the campaign of begins to revolve it will he found that tho administration is at tbe head and the man nt tho helm has nut been idle while others have been finding fault.

Tho emanations of tho Pennsylvania Republican Convention on tho subject of Mr. Blaine's candidacy attract attention in political circles, more on account of tho subordination in which it places the State as a political factor than on any very Important bearing it will have UHu the final results. From what Is gathered from various sources the expression of preference will have tho effect of crystallizing opiuion in the State as to candidates, and promises to make a troublesome contest beforo the nomination is made. It looks now us if it would give tho opportunity which Cameron and others have been wanting to assert themselves iu Slate politic. It is well known that as a matter of preference the Scuator would tako Sherman.

Quay as a Senator now stands on the same piano as Cameron, llo is no longer a subordinate factor, but a leader, In fact as well as in name.
