HiHI BK IN OHIO.
He Thinks Blalae'a Defeat aPahlle Beeeeelty.
ft II Sept. 23 ?Carl Sohurzspoke to-night in the People's Theatreon tbe issues of the campaign. He spokeinGerman Schurz said to-day, in aninterview: "Iexpect to make a verythorough tour of Ohio, makiug apeecheain every section of thaState. The cam-paign is growing more spirited and tbeattendance at public meetinga ia verylarge. Thia shows that the people arearoused and are thinking, andI am iv great hopes thattheir better judgment will prevail.No; I am not making the temperancequestion a prominent feature of myapeechea to tbe Germans, but merelypress nt ingthe attitude of two csndidsteaon that question. I think the Germanswill be largely iufluenced in tneir votesby the question of the official Integrityof the candidates. The German peoplebave very fixed views infavor of honesty,
aud cannot be deceived by explanationsor excuses. If tbe election was held to-day Wiseonsiu, Illinois snd Miohigaawould rote for Cleveland. Seventy peroeut of the Illinois Germans would votsfar him. I think the defeat of Blame apublic necessity- For that reaaon Ithink every man whodesires an honestnational administration should vote forNewman for Secretary of State. TheOhio vote in October will be taken ss adeclaration of tbe sentiment of the Stateon national issues, by other sections ofthe country. If Newman ahould beelected in October it wotild practicallysettle the contest, as I think Wi cousin,Illinoisand Michigan would then oasttheir electoral votes against Biaiue."
Mr. Schurz was aaked if he had seenthe statement that he is receiving $250 aspeech from the Democratic managers."Yes," waa his reply. "I hays noticedthat such a story is being circulated.Thefacts are that 1 am not receivingone oent from any eource for my speech-ea in thia oontest aud that I am payingall my awn traveling expenses."

Thousands ofpeople streamed through the room untilnaif past 4, when the reception termi-nated and Blame drove back to the Con-tinental Hotel for dinner. While theparty was -till at dinner, Senator DonCameron came to bid Blame good bye.As soon as it was known in the hotolthat Blame had returned from the UnionLeague, guests began to gatherin groupeaia the corridor leading to hia room,and just ss dinner ended some Udiescashed open the door far enough to seethe distinguished gusat and asndidats,and stood gszing at him. When Blame'sattention was called to them he turnedfrom tho gentlemen with whom he wastalking and shook bands withtbe lubes.
Atabout 7:30, Blame, protected on oneside by Klkins.ond on the other by Presi-dent Baker, of theLeague, made his waythrough ths uaual crowd to hia csrriageanal was driven to the private entranceof the Club House, where again the po-lice hod to hold the people incheckwhile he made his way into the build-ing. Tho Club House was relslivelymove crowded than the atreet and BlameWas again compelled to uudergo a handshaking ordeal. Ata few minutes pasteight Mr. Sanson, the first President ofthe League, requested all but Blame andhis party to withdraw from the room,which waa becoming very close.Tbis request was complied withslowly and while the gentlemenin tbe room were leaving there wereothers begging to be allowed "a wordwithBlame," bnt Benson was oompelledto be inexorable. Blame was thenescorted to a platform erected In frontof the building where he reviewed aparade led by General Hartranft asChief Marshal. The procession passedthe stand and was enthusiastically ap-
Elanded. From the Union League clubouse one could see about a mile and a

Neweouiu. Buchanan a('o. Kuancially Wrecked.
Loumvilli,Ky., Bept. 23.?The de-velopmeuts thia afternoon iv the assign*mental Newoomb, Buchanan A Companywere of a sonsational nature. Hereto-fore ibe assignments of the company wereconsidered as formal petitions for an ex-tension of time in which to take up theirpaper. This time the assignment wasmade general, snd Mr. Geo. W. Norrlswas namsd as assignee to make a nasidisposition of ail tbe property of thepartners for the benefit oi theircreditors.Very Rtlte sensation was occasioned, thepredominant feeling being one of regretthat the firm had gone under. GeorgeC. and Andrew Buchanan left the oity onSunday, leasing no olue to their where-abouts. It was then that the suspicionof crookedness was first aroused, and ru-mors were set afloat. The tumorsto-day say that the firm hasmade an improper use of moneysent tbem by customers topay taxes onwhisky which they sold. Another Isthat they have hypothecated receiptsfor whisky out of bond which did notrepresent tbe goods described upon theface of these receipts. The rumors firattook a .augible form this afternoon whenMr. George W. Noma, the assignee ofthe company, resigned aud turned theentire affairs over lo tbe Fidelity TrustCompany. Tbe cause of this step, itIssaid, on the part of Mr. Norris, was thefinding of the affairs in such a oompli-etted condition as to oauae greattrouble in straightening them out.It is aaid that the affairs ofths linn are in a much worse condi-tion than the most despondent creditorsever supposed The holders of receiptsimmediately rushed to the collector'soffice to see if duplicate had been madeaud it is positively stated, but not bythe Internal Revenue department, that$10,000 bonded warehoese receipts havebeen discovered which have been dupli-cated. Agenilkinau who has had inti-mate business aud personal relationswith both members of tbe firm und is ina position to know positively what heasserts to be true, said to an AssociatedPress reporter: "Yon may safely saythat the indications are that George audAndrew have joined Payne, Viley andEuo and tbe rest of them in Cauads.The tbory of suicide will not do,for surely both partners did not Incomeinsane at the same momeat. There is noexplans tion except crookedness andflight from the laws." The asselsof theBucbanaua are immeuae but cannot bemade immediately available. Liabili-ties unknown. The first aasignment inMarch, 1878, amounted to only a sus-pension. At that time the liabilitieswere $1,630,000, and included ia theassignment about 1500,000 of personalproperty which was exempt from cred-itors. Anextension was granted until1882. Tbe company was successful initaoperations and discharged about one-
fifth of tbe liabilities when anotherassignment was made. This time thedebts of the firm aggregate 91,000,000,wilha total value of assets of $330,000.
POLITICAL AMHKMSMKVTN.
Aa Kxprenelen From a Member efthe CivilNervier CosslmKi
Washington, Sept. 23.?ProfessorGregory, of the Civil Service Commis-sion, has written a long letter upon thesubject of political assessments. Thechief points are contained in the follow-ing extracts: The grand interest ofthose sections of tbe Civil Service actwhich relate to contributing for politicalpurposes were two fold. First, to pre-vent the nee of government places andgovernment funds as forces tocontrolelections. Second, to protect govern-ment employes from compulsory contri-butions to political funds. A clerk isemployed to work for the people and notfor a party, and hie pay oomee from thepeople and not from hia party.What he earns is, therefore, hitown and tt ia gross tyranny to extortfrom him any part of his earnings byathreat of removal or by a promise ofpromotion. The clerk, outside of hisclerkship, is stilt a citizen and aa a citi-zen haa the common interest of sll goodcitizens tn the progress and welfare ofhis country, and the common right tovote and express opinions, to form asso-ciations with those of like opinion andto use his money in all lawful ways topropagate his opinions, butas an officeror employe of the government he isstrictly under the authority of Congressivsll his official work and relation andmust not violate any of the fourprohibitions of the Civil ServiceAct, bnt outside of his officiallife aud relations, beyond the realmof his duties lo the government and be-yond his connection with governmentpeople and places, be becomes a simplecitizen and has all the duties, intercutsand rights of his fellow citizens not inpublic employ. The Interpretation oftbe civil service law Is easy and thepath of duty required by it ia plain toall' who honestly regard as Its grandaims tbe abeotute defenss of the ballotbox from all corrupt or corrupting offi-cial influence and the protection of gov-ernment officials from political assessments, for these two great public de-mands of the law must and willbe fully
and fairly enforced.
Railway AsTalra.Chicaoo, Sept. 23.?The Transoonti-
nsntal Railway Association met to-day.The principal subject under discussionwss ths apportionment of territorysmong tbe various lines. The NorthernPacific was conceded all the territorynorth of Portland, Oregon, bat whetherthe road will be admitted as a competi-tor on California business proper was notdecided. The catting of passenger ratesby the Sunset Route was referred to acommittee of general passenger sgents,with Instructions to report to-morrow. The relative positionof the parties lo the great strugglewas sharply defined to-day by a state-ment from both sides. General Man-ager Robinson of the Atchison, Topekaand Santa Fa said he had not changedhis position regarding tbe tripartitealliance, and will antsr into no agree-ment regarding the Colorado and Utahbusiness so long as tha tripartite com-pact is anforded. General ManagerCable says that tha Directors of theRock Island have voted that tbe tri-partita must stand and intend to see itcarried oat.

The official count of the number ofschool children in Santa Anaand Pomo-na, wherein tbe former was beaten bytbe Utter, eight to seven, must have
acted aa a first class opiate upon itsfighting proclivitiea; but it haa spokenagain, and the burden of the speech isthat that town will poll more votes thanPomona. We sincerely hope SanU Anawill poll 500 votes as tbe Herald of thatplace claims it will. Of one thing waare sure, if Santa Asa hod enjoyed amoiety of the prosperity aud settlementthat Pomona has enjoyed, and is nowenjoying", she would be able to poll 2500votes without an effort. But we do notbelieve it willpoll 500 votes. Itonlyvoted 456 two years ago, since whichtime that voting precinct has beenlargely curtailed and is left now with a
?redact only about four by six miles,o our knowledge, no one has ever
claimed that Pomona would at the com-ing election out-vote SanU Ana. Weexpect here to poll between four andfive hundred votes, but there are at leasttwo hundred new-comers, actual settlersof voting age who cannot vote on ac-count of not having resided one year inthe State.
Postmaster French is puzzled. Theother day there came a package throughthe office rolled up in a newapsper andaddressed to Santa Ana. An examina-tion of the singular package broke himup. It is a cotton garment branded inUrge letters double X, domestic queen,wsrrsnted Ac. It ia about three feetlong and a foot and a half wide, has alow top to it with a lacing around theneck and opens in front and is adornedwithedging, is flounced at the bottom,
and has awfullyshort arms, with crochetworkaround the sleevee. We assisfedtha P. M. in examining it, snd afterlooking through the latest pattern book,a couple of books with fac similes offoreign flags. Japanese costumes forfunerals Ac, we surrendered, leavingthe P.

We were shown yesterday a fewtwigs from olive trees 'grown'en Rev. C.F. Loop's place. They were literallyloaded with fruit, which is of extraUrge sise. Agentleman just down fromSanU Barbara and who had just visitedEllwood Cooper's olive orchard beforecoming here, says that the trees theredo not bear so heavily and the fruit ismuch smaller than that from Mr. Loop'sgrove. The cultivation of the olivepromises to be one of tbe most profita-ble industries of Southern California,and from what information we are ableto gather, the lands along the SierraMadre range are proving the very beat
for this kind of fruit.? Pomona Timet-Courier.
Ayoung man by the name of Proudy,who has been at work in Bear Valley,was r«turning yesterday, packing aUrgenavy six-shooter aud, in endeavoring toextract the cartridges, by some slip tbepistol was discharged, the ball strikingone of hie legs below the knee, rangingdown through the flesh and passing outthrough tbe bottom of his foot. For-Innately no bones were broken, and amere flesh wound of tbe kind is likelyto soon heal. The accident ooeurred
near Forsee'a place, and Proudy wasbrought iute town on a buokboardwagon and placed In tha hospital. --SanBernardino index.

Mrs. Edison.
Mrs. Mary Stlllwell Kdisou, wife ofthe inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, diedsuddenly at 2a. m. yesterday at her lateresidence at Menlo Park, N. J. Shewas 29 years of oge and leaves threechildren. The story of her marrisge toMr. Edison is a aisgularly atrauge andromantic one. When he firat formedher acquaintance he was about 25 yearsof age. He had juat uiveuted thechemical telegraph, by means of whichoould be transmitted, he claimed, on aeiugle wire, 3,000 words a minute. Thetelegraph, notwithstanding thia, how-ever, became euhservieut tv the Morsesyatem. While working on tbe chem-ical telegraph heemployed several youngwomen to puuch the hotea in the paper.Among them was Mies Mary Stillwell.One day he was ataudlng behind herchair examining a telegraphic instru-ment.
"Mr. Edison," remarked Miss Still-well, suddenly turning arouud, "I canalways tell wheu you are bchiud me ornear me."
'.How do you account for that?" me-chanically asked Mr. Edison, still ab-sorbed inhia work,
"I don't know, lam sure," ahe quietlyanswered; "but 1 seem tofeel when youare near me."
"Miaa Stillwell,"aaid Mr. Kdiaon.turn*lag round now in his turn and lookinghis interlocutor in tha face, "I've beenthinking considerably of you of late, andifyou are willingtohave me, I'd like tomarry you."
"You astonish me!" exoUhned MissStillwell. "I?l never?".
"I know you never thought I wouldbe your wooer," iuterrupUd Mr. Ediaon,"but think over my proposal, Miss Still-well,aud talk itover withyour mother."Then he added, in the same off-hand,business-like way, as though he mightbe experimenting upon a uew mode ofcourtship: "Let me know as early aspossible, aa if you consent to marry tne,
aud your mother ia willing, we can bemarried by next Taeaday."
This was the extent of Mr. Edison'scourtship. It ia hardly ueoeesary toaddthat the highly-favored ladr laid the ab-rupt proposal before ber mother.
"Ma has consented," aha tjldMr. Edi-son the next day.
"That's all right," said Mr. Kdiaoa iareply. "We wilt be married a weekfrom to-day."
And so itwaa. The two were marriedina week and a day from the beginningof Mr. Ediaou'a novel and preciptUtecourtship. Inconnection with hia mar-riage, however, a atory ia told quite assingular, but fully in keeping with theone already given touching his court-ship. It issaid that directly followingthe marriage, he entered his laboratoryin his wedding suit, and hastily throwingbis coat on a bench began work.
"Why, surely, you are not going towork on your wedding night?remon-,r-strated bis chief assistant.
"Suppose itia!"he quickly answered,setting to work withrenewed zeal; "theGold k Stock Company don't care forthat. They want their instruments to-morrow, and they've got to have them,marriage or no msrriage; so here goes."
The weddiug trip of Mr. Edison raninto the mysteries of inventions. Hiswedded life, however, is said to havebeen a singularly happy one.? iVewYorkHerald.
Upon the reliable authority of theHon. Wm. H. Jessup, member of theState Board of Horticulture, we learnthat thirty-sixof his oherry trees, cov-ering one-third of an acre, yielded 2,523pounds of cherries, which sold on theground for $186.61. Between these aametrees were gjoseberry plants, which alsoyielded the aame year 7,534 pounda offruit, which sold on the ground for$925 30, thus making the total yield forthat year of one-thi id of an acre the sumof $1,101.91. Apricots are recognizedas a more profiUble crop.? PteatantonStar,
