The Buffalo Express publishes a two column story to-day about the Ray- monty of Lewiston, which is republish- ed in part: f Cold In death at the undertaking rooms of Robert F. Atkins at No. 68 ' Eagle Street les the body of Willinm H. Rayment, scion of the famous old Rayment family which has given to England's navy admirals, captains and chict officers of honor and renown. In the sanitarium of Dr. George H. Mc- Michael, at No. 75 West Tupper Street, ltes Edward Drury Rayment, his broth- or, it the point of death. Helpless and in a precarious condition in Room No. 58 at he Stafford House lies Mrs, R. In Room No. 54 at the Stafford House, bereft of clear reason, with her mind weakened and clouded, lies Miss E. Rayment, their sister. The story of their fall begins in a proud old English home, crosses the At- lantic to these United States, centers for a time in Lewiston down in Niagara County, then comes to Buffalo and rests. 'Thege four survivors of the Rayment family came to Buffalo on Wednesday, August 26th, 'they went direct to the Stafford House and registered. - They wrote nothing but their names on the register. - Proprietor Warner marked their appearance and wondered whence thy came. He did not learn until long later that they had come up from Lew- iston and were on their way to Ber- mudi. For more than five years they, had lived quietly in the historic little Niagara. They moved there in 1890. 'The husband and father, old Gol. Rayment, was living the village. 'They kept almost entirely then. took the old Roach home- stend two blocks back from the old stage rond whch Is the main street of to themselves, Their neighbors saw little of them. 'The villagers remarked { ; that the old Colonel drank pretty hard, but thit was all. 'They were orderly, respectable folk and paid their debts. 'The old Colonel died in 1898. He was lived out and death was the well-earn- ed end. ' 'The family went Into mourning and kept more aloof. than before. 'The vil- lage often wondered about the family. 'There were only the four. No one ever came to see them.. 'The old Colonel was really an old Commodore and drew a big pension from the English treasury as a retived naval officer of high rank. What possessed the family to come to America, none could learn. Fhe root of the family tree was grounded in the town of Herts, England. Letters fre- quently came to the Reyments at Lew- iston from Reyments inHerts, and re- plies were promptly sent. As the year passed the family showed no inclination to relax its reserve. The two boys came to Buffalo often, spend- ing from two to three days to a week there. At one time It seemed that a bit of romance coupling a minister's name with that of Mrs. Reyment might ereep 'in to break down the bars of exclusive- ness. 'This flashed in the pan and noth- ing more. 'The minister went his way and the Rayments lived on as before. Suddenly it was announced that they were going to leave Lewiston and never return. This was early in August. Within ia week after the announcement, the family had made all arrangements to go. It was announced that they were going to Bermuda, that they would live there n few years and then would re- turn to England, there to abide perma- nently. . 'The gossips grieved, the store- keepers were sorry,. On Wednesday morning, August 26th, the Rayments left Lewiston as they had announced they would. Their household goods wore disposed of nnd their affairs had been closed out. All bills were paid. That same afternoon an old woman, a younger woman, and two men entered the Stafford House. 'They seemed to have been drinking. The younger wo- man seemed stupid as if she bad heen brugged. They registered as Edward Drury Rayment, William H. Rayment, Mrs. R. Rayment and Miss B. Rayment. Edward Drury Rayment wrote the register, 'Then follows a long and painful story of a week's hard drinking, in which the mother proves to have a greater capac- ity than her children. The end finally came after the consumption of an enor- mousmous amount of liquor. The re- covery of Edward D. Reyment was still {loubtful last night. Mrs. Rayment and herdaughter will probably recover, but both are in a pitiable condition.

At the last meeting of the Working- men's Civic League the matter of se- curing legislation in favor of a secret ballot was discussed and action was taken as follows: Whereas, It is universally conceded that the purity of the ballot is essential to the peace andwelfare of the common- wealth, and as the party caucus is the fountain-head of all political action, it naturally follows that intimidation or corruption thereat vitiates the whole system of government, and Whreas, The system of voting at party eaucuses in this state by bqllot does not afford that secrecy and free- dom from surveillance that should pre- vail in order that the electors may in- dicate their choice of delegates and candidates without being liable to inti- midation or interference from any source whatever, and Whereas, A member of Assembly is to be elected in: this district this fall,and we, the members of the Workingmen's Civic League of the City of Lockport, N. Y., deem it of the utmost importance that the person chosen to represunt this district in the State Legislature should be in favor of providing by law for an Absolutely secret ballot for all political aucuses, and be willing to pledge him- self to use his best endeavors to secure the enactment of such a law. | There- fore, > Résolved, That the Secretary of this League be and he hereby is directed to correspond at the earliest possibledate with all the candidates for Member of Assembly for this district nominated by the several political parties this year, inclosing with and as a part of his communications a copy of this pre- amble and resolution duly attested, and request awritten answer from each candidate, over his own signature, within 10 days, to the following ques- tion: Will you, if elected, use your best endeavors to have a law enacted by the Legislature, to provide for an absolute- ly secret ballot at all political caucuses in this State.

Y., in favor of a secret ballot, duly received. I am in hearty accord with the sentiment of that re- solution and I am in favor of a secret ballot as therein set forth and if I were elected to the Assembly I would deem it not only a duty, but a pleasure, to work for and use my best endeavors to procure the enactment of a law that would provide for absolute secrecy in all political caucuses in this State.

THE OLD VICEROY'S TOAST. PAYS A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT TO MR. FOSTER AND HAS MANY KIND WORDS FOR AMERICA-- PROGRAM FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. -Li Hung Chang was entertained at dinner by ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, the guests in- cluding three members of the cabinet, the commanding general of the army and several other notables in official life. The dinner was given at the Arlington, three large parlors being used for the ce- sasion- The decorations were of the most elaborate character, the long tables show- ing clusters of American beauty roses, yellow astors, Chinese nstors and golden- rod and ferns, thus combining the char- acteristic colors of the two countries. The United States marine band was stationed in one of the parlors, and through the ingenuity of Conductor Fan- ciulli played Chinesc as well as American airs while the dinner proceeded. The full list of guests were as follows: Earl Li Hung, his excellency, Li Ching Tong, Lo Fong Fub, Li Ching Lou (the viceroy's second son), Dr. Inwin, medical attendant; Dr. Mak, medical attendant; his excellency; Yang Yu, Chinese minis ter; Senor Romero, Mexican minister in Washington; Secretaries Carlisle, La- mont and Francis, Justice Harlan, Gov- ernor Lowndes of Maryland, General Miles, General Ruger, Assistant Secre- tary Rockhill, E. B. Drew (commissioner of Chinese customs); General J. H. Wil- son and Dr. W. W. Johnson. . When dinner was announced Li Hung Chang was escorted on the arm of Gen- eral Foster to the post of honor. 'To the right of the earl sat Secretary Carlisle, and to his left Justice Harlan. On Mr. Foster's right sat the Chinese minister, Mr. Yang Yu. and on his left Minister Romero of Mexico. The menu was simple but elegant, lacking, how- ever, any dishes of distinct Chinese char- acter. It was prepared by the American cooks. The distinguished guest had taken his dinner before the event of the evening and partook very sparin ly of what was before him and merely touched the cham- pagne to his lips. At the conclusion of the dinner, Mr. Foster made a fow remarks, expressing the pleasure of the company at the visitzof Li Hung Chang to the capital and other prominent cities and regretting that his public and urgent duties made his stay so short. & As he was about to undertake the re- sumption of his long journey across the continent and over the great ocean, the company heartily joined in wishing bim a safe journey and a continued life of use- fulness to his country and the whole world. The viceroy responded as follows: \In acknowledging the hospitality ex- temded to me by my old friend, Hon. John 'W. Foster, I have to thank him for affording me an opportunity, before my departure from the capital of this coun- try, to renew once more the sincere ex- pression of my gratitude and thankful ness to the Amocrican government and cit- izens for the welcome and reception of- fered to mme as representative of my august master, the Emperor of China, and the personification of the Chinese empire. \Since the establishment of our treaty relations there have always been evi- dences of good fellowship between our two countries, but all these evidences, I dare say, have been eclipsed by the cor- diality and warmth displayed by the American government and citizens in welcoming and receiving my special mis: gion. X \Though I regret that my time does not allow me to make a longer sojourn in this country, as I wish, in order to appre- ciate more fully the accomplishment and progress of the United States of America ss a nation, I cannot help during my brief visit here to bestruck and impressed by the liberty and freedom enjoyed by the people; by the welfare and prosperity in their agricultural, industrial and com- mercial pursuits; by the characteristics of their classical, historical, philosophical and poetical literature; by the manner of application of the scientific discoveries and inventions for promoting the happi- ness of mankind and their display of their artistic taste in the architecture of the public buildings, sculpture and paintings of historical figures and facts, which my old friend, Hon. John W. Foster, has been kind enough to show me,. . \These impressions I will carry home, not only as augmentations to my store of knowledgo of the fruits of Western mod- ern civilization, but as the means of en- lightening the millions I represent, facil- itating the introduction of these very means and ends of civilizations into Chi- |. na and amalgamating the oldest civiliza- tion of the Far Hast with the most mod- ern one of the extreme West. \I have only a word to add, that Hon. John W. Foster in his manifold abili- ties, has to me rendered most valua- ble assistance in China's most critical mo- ment. America, whether as a government or as individuals, is to China a friend in need, so she is to her a friend indeed. Gentlemen, I propose the toast to the friend of China-Hon. John W. Foster.\ The dinner lasted probably an hour and after it was over the guests remained an- other hour in social conversation, Li Hung Chang afterwards going to his room and retiring for the night. This morning a reception-to the heads of the several bureaus of the various gov- ernment departments and a visit to the treasury department are on the program, while in the afternoon it is the intention to take the viceroy to Mount Vernon, where he will place a wreath on the tomb of Washington. * noon no wan WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW Distinct Increase of Confidence. | Announced. | PURCHASES ON THE INCREASE, Experienced Men Believe a Revival of Business Is Not Far Of - Slight | Upward Tarn In Prices, Transactions of the Past Week. 4: NEw York, Sept. 5 -R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: There is a distinct increase of confidence, due largely to the continuing and heavy imports of gold, which have put an end to monetary anxiety, and also to politic: 1 events, which are closely watched. While is does not yet start more mil's and factories than are closing for want of work, it crops out in heavy speculathe purchases of pig iron, wool and some oth- er materials, by experienced men, who be- lieve that a revival of business is not far off, and for the first time in nearly two months a slight upward turn appears in prices of manufactured products. The gain in confidence and in willing- ness to lend and invest gives reason to hope that the necessary replenishment of stocks, which cannot be rong deferred, may be liberal enough to stimulate fair activity in trade and industry. Wheat had suddenly risen a week ago, but reagted with better crop news until Thursday, when another advance came of 1 cent, making the net decline for the week of 15¢ cents. Western receipts con- tinued large, 5,215,700 bushels for the 'week, against 4,450,104 last year, making the increase since July about 12,000,000 of §83 per cent. Atlantic exports are also large. Flour included, 2,032,968 bushels against 11,815,645 last year, a gain of 69 per cent. Gloomy stories find little sup- port in such returns. ._ i Corn has reached at Chicago the lowest point ever touched, 20 cents in 1861, and has again broken all records here, declin- ing to 25% cents, at which it closed. Cot- ton fell to 7.87 cents, but with revival of confidence rose to 8.50. although the pros- pect is clearly more favorable than some weeks ago. After many weeks of decline, so that the average of prices for iron and its pro- ducts was the lowest since early last year, prices have started up a shade. Heavy speculative purchases of Bessemer at the West and of Sbuthern iron here, the lat- ter mainly by New Yorkers at $6.40 for No. 2 and $5.90 for grey forge, have so strengthened the market that Bessemer at Pittsburg commands $11.25 and grey forge $9.50 'Tinis weaker, at 18.15 cents for September, bids at 10.87 cents are solicited for lake copper, while lead is a shade firmer at cents. 'The starting of some woolen goods which have been idle and accumulating orders for a short run is still balanced by the stopping of others, and the volume of orders does not increase. No gain as yet appears in de mand or prices. But a marked speculative buying of wool shows belief that prices will im- _ prove, and sales for the week were 4,877,- 600 pounds, of which only 555,700 were forgign, much over half the domestic sales being of Texas and Far Western states, at prices ranging from 7 to 8% cents. ' Cotton goods are growing stronger, more grades having advanced, and though sales are moderate, there are more buy- ers, indicating exhaustion of dealers' stocks, 'The decrease in production by thledmills is slowly reducing the stocks un- sold. . - , In women's grain and buff shoes many concerns have orders for 10 weeks ahead. In raw silk a sharp decline has occur- red,; amounting to 14.7 per cent in August, - Failures for the week have been 334 in the United States, against 186 last year, and 31 in Canada against 38 last year,. Great Storm In Connecticut, GREEXWICH, Sept. 5.-Nob for a great many years has this section been visited by & thunderstorm so 'furious as that which bas passed over this place. For over two houts thunder and lightning were incessant, and the section of the town called Grand View was n sheet of flames throughout the storm. Half a dozen buildings were struck, and several persons were stunned by lightning boite.
