Tenney F ires th e O p e n ing Gun—An E loquent an d Convincing Speaher—“ P r o tection to A m e rican L a bor ” tlie I s s u e —A u spicious O p e n ing of th e C a m p aign — B e p u h licans Should T u r n O u t E n M ass. To-night the opening gun of the cam paign will be fired at the Kink, when Hon. A. W. Tenney of Brooklyn, will address the p«jople o f Port Jervis in behalf of the Eepublican candidates. Mr. Tenney comes fresh ftom the vic torious battle ground of Maine, where he has been speaking with Mr. Blaine. Pour years ago Mr. Tenney made a trip west ward with Mr. Blaine, and the fact that Mr. Blaine this year asked for Mr. Ten ney’s assistance at the meetings where Mr. Blaine would also speak, was a very high compliment to Mr. Tenney. Mr. Tenney delivered a speech at Mid dletown last evening, and though he has for years been a favorite speaker at Mid dletown, we are informed that he never made a more convincing argument than he makes in this campaign, in behalf of Protection to American labor. There never was a campaign where the interests of the laboring man were so largely at stake as in this, and it is to be hoped that the meetings this year w ill be largely attended. W e ask all Kepublicans to turn out to the meeting to-night, and to bring their Democratic friends with them. The auspicious manner in which the campaign has opened, and the breaking away from the Democratic ranks o f labor ing men who renounce, its free-trade sym pathies, leads to the belief that a glorious victory awaits us in November. Let the meeting to-night be an auspicious opening of the campaign, such a rally as will strengthen every Harrison and Morton man for the faith that is within him. B E F O B E JU S T IC E ALLEBTON. A P r o m in e n t Citizen T ried for A s sault Y e s terday A fternoon. Yesterday Mr. Edward O. Beirne was a defendant in Justice Allerton’s Court on a charge preferred against him by Mrs. Edward Bryme, she alleging that Mr. Beirne had attempted improper liberties with her. The proof in the case was rather conflict ing but the jury, after hearing all the evidence, rendered a verdict of not guilty. John W. Lyon, esq., appeared tor Mr. Beirne, and H. B. Fullerton for the complainant. SULLIVAN IM P B O V IN G . Dr. J. P. Bush of Boston left Treton Cottage, Crescent Beach, Thursday after noon, after a visit to John L, Sullivan. He found the sick athlete in about the same condition as Wednesday, no better and no worse. He does not think Sulli van’s case hopeless. There is a complica tion of diseases, the stomach and liver being most seriously affected, but less powerful men have come out of a more dangerous condition. The interest in the progress of Sullivan’s case is widespread, and cable messages are sent to England frequently, giving an account of every change. At 3 30 p. m. Sullivan was slightly better, and Dr. Bush said that with good care he would recover. A KEMINDEK. Do not forget that Sunday is the third anniversary of the Railroad Y, M. C. A. W. E. Tenno of New York will apeak to railroad men, at 3 o’clock, in the opera bouse. Mr. Tenno,having been a railroad man for some time, will no doubt make it interesting for the men of our town. Mr. Geo. SanfOld of Newburg will also be present. There will be singing by a male qnartelte of our townsmen. The after noon meeting is for men only, but every one is invited in the evening to the Pres byterian church, when the same gentle men will speak. AT T H E O P E R A HOUSE. Tlio R h o a iles Com p a n y Give theii' F a r e well Performance. The Rhoades Company gave their fare well performance at the Opera House last night. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a large and appreciative audience of hrst-class theatre-goers, were present. Before the rise of the curtain in the first act, the io wer part of the house was well filled, and the galleries were abso- lutely packed. The increase of attendance at the final petformance of this company, teemed to indicate that the public were well pleased with their previous efforts, and anxious to avail themselves of the last opportunity,which would be afforded to a Port Jervis audience, to see the com pany in their popular and meritorious impersonationa The piece presented last night was a border drama entitled “ Clip.” It is to all appearance, a hold plagarism of the well-known and popular play, “ M’liss,” in which the famous Annie Pixley achieved such extraordinary success a few years ago. Miss Rhoades in the title role of “ Clip,” which corresponds to “ M’liss’ inevitably, challenges comparison with Miss Pixley in the same part, and while comparison with the incomparable Annie is, of course, to her disadvantage, ,it is, nevertheless, true that she rendered the part in a highly meritorious way. In the quick transitions from fun to pathos, she was especially effective. This is a part which affords scope to a wide variaty of stage talents and it is no small compli ment to hetjto declare that she achieved a commendable degree of success. On the Whole we are inclined to rank Miss Rhoades as among the best of traveling stars. Mr. W. S. Drake as Judare Bees- winger, created great merriment by his successful and admirable rendition of the eccentric California Judge, who insists that all things must be done in accordance with the sta-toots. Yuba Bill was im personated by Mr. Norfork Kirby, who in physique and all external attributes, satisfies all the requirements of the part. Unfortunately the impression produced by the otherwise admirable actor was somewhat marred by an inadequate voice. Prank Holland as John Gray sustained the reputation which he achieved at p r e vious performances. The part of “ Bum- met” Smith, father of the capricious and fun-loving “ Clip,” was admirably sus tained by Mr. Gilbert Ely. The support «?as good, and as a whole the piece was well rendered. The trial scene was es pecially effective. Yuba Bill and Judge Beeswinger elicited great laughter by their admirable acting in the funny situa tions that arise during its progress. On the whole we can conscientiously recommend the Rhoades company to the patronage of the theatre-going public, and we trust that the time is not far distant when Port Jervis will again be favored by a series o f their admirable impersonations.

B iemingham , Ala., Sept. 20.—A dis patch from Decatur states that great ex citement prevails there over the outbreak of yellow fever. Ten new cases have been reported to day and the citizens are getting out o f town as fast as possible. There is almost a panic. Many of the stores are closed and business is at a stand- Btill. Much alarm is felt in the northern, part of the state over the situation. Yes terday the Montgomery, Ala., authorities contemplated raising the quarantine to morrow against Decatur, but to-day’s de velopments there caused the Board of Health and the Mayor to reconsider and refuse to raise the quarantine.

W ashington , Sept. 20.—Persistent ru mors have been in circulation here- to-day alleging the existence of a case of yellow fever in this city, the location given being Defreea street. Dr. Townsend said that hehadlnot heard of any case of yellow fever here and for that reason he did not believe the rumor to be true. Two refugees from Florida were living on Defrees street, and this, may have given rise to the report. GOV. H I L L IS ANGRY. T h e “ N o n -P a rtisan ” State F a ir M ade a H ill Boom . After Governor Hill finished his brief address! at the fair grounds at Elmira Thursday, President Wadsworth intro duced Roswell G. Horr of Michigan, for a few minutes speech. Governor Hill was very angry. Mr. Horr is a Republican, who sjwke at the mass meeting Wednesday evening. Of course the occasion was non-partisan, but, notkwithstanding. Governor Hill was angry that a Republican, though he was a guest of the Agricultural Society, should be asked to speak. He expressed himself very severely to President Wadsworth, charging bad faith toward him on the part of the society. Governor M il said it was an outrage. Not a word of politics was uttered by Mr. Horr, but Governor Hill’s protests were so vehement that the Presi dent stepping up to Mr. Horr said : “ Cut it short.” Mr. Horr stopped. There is considerable indignation felt o W the incident in the city. Governor Hill and his friends think he was insulted, and the society think the Governor had no right to accuse them of any discourtesy or bad faith.— Bing7iamion Daily Repub lican.

RESULT O F F R E E TRADE IN ENGLAND H . J . F e ttifer’s C o n trast B etw een E n g lisli and A m e rican W o rkingm e n . About 1,200 people assembled m Tre- mont Temple, Boston, Wednesday even ing, to hear H. J. Pettifer o f London, the secretary of the Workingmen’s Associa tion for Defense of British Industry, and Nathaniel McKay, who has just returned from a tour among England’s laboring people, speak In behalf of the maintenance of the tariff.. Mr. Pettifer made an exceedingly strong and appealing argument by contrasting the condition of the English and the American workingmen. He said the re formers said that staples were cheap in England. This he admitted— cheaper than anywhere in the world, but he said there is the worst kind of a famine in England to-day; 2,500,000 people are absolutely without the power to purchase the products of labor. What is the use of talking to them of cheapness? He said he thought Henry George was the squarest free trader in America to-day, for he admitted that he only advocated it as a means to his great end, socialism, knowing as he did that he could not at tain this end while American laborers were prosperous and happy as now. He warned his hearers that what they must look out for was not the great sledge hammer of free trade but the thin edge of of the wedge of tariff reform, which, if it got in, would give the sledge hammer the chance to strike its blow. His remarks were received with great favor and en thusiasm. Mr. McKay’s “ object lessons” were not so successful; he was canstantly in terrupted by a disturbing element in the hall, and was finally compelled to close. ATOPENTIONt REPUBLICANS I We learn by telephone from Middle- town that the Republican meeting in that place, last night, was a rousing success, notwithstanding the fact that rain fell m torrents from 7 o’clock until 9. The Casino was so crowded there was no longer standing room. The demonstration was one of great enthusiasm. Mr. A. W. Tenney of Brooklyn sounded the opening note of the campaign, and scored a great success. Mr. Tenney will be in Port Jer vis to-night. Republicans, see to it that Port Jervis does not fall below Middle- town in enthusiasm and zeal. Let us “ see ” them and go them one better. PERSONAL.

They have also a gang of men wdrking on repairs about the shops. To-day the machine shop is re ceiving a new tin roof and a number of other repairs are being made. Work has also been begun on^a coal trestle, to take the place of the old oue near the entrance of Bali street, which is used for receiving coal to burn in the stationary engine.

A Good D e a l o f K icking A b o u t th e R a il road A c c o m m o dation. One hundred and twenty-five tickets were sold at this station for the Orange County fair, at Goshen, yesterday, the ma jority o f them being for train 6, which left at 12.15. Over 1,000 were sold at MlddletoWu, of which nearly four hundred were for num ber 6 alone. About 200 were unable to find even standing room on the train, and were forced to remain at home or take number 10, at 2.50 p. m. The Erie com pany, for some reason failed to provide any extra train service, or even an extra coach, for the accommodation o f the large number o f passengers they had every rea son to expect from that place, and as a result the city people are doing a good deal o f “ kicking.” The Erie officials claim that, owing to the large demand for cars on the western part o f the road, on account of the El mira state fair, they have been unable to supply the demand for the Goshen travel. A aUDDlETOWN MAN IN3UEED. Frank Backey, a resident of Middle- town, either fell or jumped from the front end o f engine number 32, which was pulling the Mountain express west last night. The train was approaching Hamp ton station, when the engineer saw the nian fall from the pilot. He immediately reversed his engine, but too late, the wheels had passed over the toes of both feet, crushing them very badly. He was picked up, placed on the train and brought to Middletown, where he was given in charge o f the station agent. Backey was a single man, aged about 25 years. It is thought that he was stealing a ride from Goshen to Middletown, and as the train was going to stop at Hampton, he tried to get off so as not to be detected. He was not qmck enough, however, as the train struck him almost before he struck the ground. The engineer or engine 82 did not see him,until he was on the ground, and he brought the train to a stand still as soon as possible. ANOTHKK BBAKEMAN INJUBED. Wednesday afternoon, while the Horn train, Wilcox conductor, was doing some switching at Monroe, Edward Green, a brakeman of Carpenters Point, had one of his feet caught in a frog, while making a coupling, and before be could extricate it the train backed down upon him, crushing the flesh and muscles of the lower part of the limb, but fortunately no bones were broken. Although his injuries are very painful, it is believed that his leg will be saved. He was taken to his home at Carpenters Point, on the Mountain Express, and Dr. Hunt was called and attended to his injuries. SXEUOK BY AN ENGINE. Thursday morning at about ten o’clock, Martin Lyden, an employe of the Erie company, was struck by a locomotive at Thompson, and run over. His right arm was crushed so that amputation was ne cessary. His right leg was also b dly in jured. Drs. Birdsall and Fletcher o f this place, were called and gave the unfortu nate man the necessary attention.— Sus quehanna Journal. NOTES. The Erie was very badly used by Mon day night’s storm. Two or three serious washouts occurred on the Delaware divi sion, and caused a detention to the early morning express trains. Superintendent “ Billy ” Starr was out, however, with the workers, attired in the garb of a Nova Scotia fisherman, and under his direction the filling in and ditching processes were hurried to a rapid termination, and trains were moved forward. “ Billy ” always works more than he talks.—iVi Y.

A telegraphic dispatch was received yesterday by Mr. John L. Bonnell of this village, announcing the sudden death at Hawley, Pa., of his son inlaw Mr. Robert Millard and summoning him at once to that place. In response to this telegram, Mr. Bon nell left town yesterday on the Mountain Express. We have ascertained the fol lowing facts with reference to Mr. Millard and the circumstances of his death. For some time past he has been suffer ing from what he supposed to be ordinary indigestion, and although a great sufferer it was not supposed by either Mr. Millard or his family, that the difficulty was of a serious nature. A s> consequence his sud den death was unexpected and came as a great shock to the members o f his family. Mr. Millard spent the most of his lif q in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where for many years he carried on large and extensive operations as a building contractor. He remained there, until he became identified with the OoUingwood Lumber company at Wilsonville, Wayne county, Pa„ near Hawley where he continued to reside to the time o f his death. Some years ago Mr.“Millard contracted a marriage with Mary, the daughter of Mr. John L. Bonnell of this yillage. He is well known in this town and his death will cause pabaful surprise to a large circle of friends. Mr. Millard leaves behind him two mar ried daughters, one of them residing at Montreal, Canada, and the other at Poughkeepsie, in this state. A married son residing at Hawley, Pa., also survives him. These were all the children of a former marriage. The funeral will take place at the family residence at Hawley on Monday, Sept. 24th, at 3.30 p. m. The remains will be brought to this village on train 8 and from this station will be taken to Poughkeepsie on Tuesday morning for final interment. W IT H PE N AND SCISSORS.

The message found no favora ble response, but instead there was a re pudiation of it by a large share of the Democracy. The land-slide away from the Democratic ranks was apalling, and it must be stopped. Now it is campaign abuse, siander, etc., which emenates from Democratic journals. The latest tricto and it is a contempti ble one, which the Democratic Gazette has DUt out to the public, is an effort to scare the people away from the rink, where Re publican meetings are to be held. It says that the floor is flimsy, etc., and that the location is unhealthy. Now, don’t trouble yourself, neighbor, we select our own meeting places, and the people will go and hear our speakers, not withstanding your efforts to prevent them from doing so. tVhile there never was any doubt as to the stability of the rink, it has been ex amined by competent builders, and pro nounced “ entirely safe.” In fact, the floor is but four feet from the ground and no serious damage could possibly happen, even though the floor timbers should The attempt to prevent people from at tending, “ because it is unhealthy,” shows the desperate measures resorted to by the Democrats. They have just disooveredthat a terrible fate awaits all who may go to the rink for a couple of hours. They did know this fact for the past three months, when the Delaware Hose boys were there lirilling, or when, upon public occasions, it has been well filled with people. Hitherto they have had no word of warn ing, but now they sound the advice, keep away from the rink. As between the Rink and Opera House for a public gathering, the safety of an audi ence is much better guaranteed in the Rink. In ease of alarm by fire the ways of exit are many, and no narrow stairway would become crowded with panic-stricken peo ple, It is a first floor building, which are always considered most desirable for pub lic gatherings. But the public know the animus prompting the Qazem utterances. It means, don’t go to the Republican meetings. Perhaps the people will take its advice.* We can tell better when the campaign is over. W A R N E R M IL L E R AT E L M IR A. H e M akes a N o n -Political Address to 20,- 000 People a t t h e State F a ir . E lmiba , Sept. 19.—Warner Miller reached Elmira by special train this morning and addressed a mammoth aud ience at the state fair. About 20,000 people were on the grounds. The speech was non-political, Mr. Miller preferring not to make use o f such an occasion for political effect, though given the privi lege o f doing so by the officers of Qie state fair. The address was devoted to a review o f the progress in agriculture and the causM thereof.
