FOUR DELEGATIONS
Cold Weather Cannot Keep
the People from Canton.
0HI0AXS AND WEST VIKGIXIANS
Tbe Plans or the Republican I'aity
Mark Uauua Well Pleased With
the rolltlcal Situation. "
Cantos, Oct. 7. The rains of yester
day, which drove the McKinley crowds
indoors, were dried up by a bleak, cold
wind today, which made it necessary to
carry oat the 4ays programe, save one
early meeting on the lawn, at the Taber
nacle. There were tour demonstrations,
by as many delegations. Two Ohio
counties sent crowds, and it was intend
ed to double them up, but they .were so
much larger than expected that the
doubling-op process would not work.
Combined, they filled the hall twice
over. .
A particularly enthusiastic delegation
closed the day's doings. It came from
Parkersburz, W. Va., and filled a special
. train pf 10 cars to tbe platforms. This
party was iofroduced by Hon. E. M.
Caldwell. .
, National Chairman Mark Hanna
stopped over in Canton between trains
this evening. He was met at the depot
by Major McKinley, and was a guest for
dinner at the major's home. He ex
pressed himself well pleased with the
political situation and spoke in the most
sanguine terms of tbe result.
"Coin" Harvey Almost Mobbed.
Clinton, la., Oct. 7. W. A. Harvey,
author of ''Coin," narrowly escaped
being assaulted at a meeting here last
night, when ho spoke on free silver, but
turned bis address into an attack upon
Generals Sickles, Alger, Howard and the
others of the celebrated veterans who
are traveling through Iowa and Illinois.
He referred to the generals as "old
wrecks of the rebellion who have lost
their honor and patriotism, and are tbe
tools of political Shylocks." His words
were greeted by a storm of hieees and
cries of "Shame, shame," which ren
dered it impossible for him to make
himself heard. He tried to continue,
but gave it up as tbe storm continued.
A lartje number of Grand Army men
were in the hall and took Harvey's
words almost as a personal affront.
There were loud yells of "Throw him
out." "Drag him off the platform," and
"Put him in the street." .
Grizzled veterans leaped from their
seats on all sides and started into the
aisles, shaking their fists and yelling
threats. The cooler beads interfered,
however, and restrained the old soldiers.
The majority of them, instead of return
ing to their seats left the ball in a body.
They were joined in- their exodus by
many of tbe audience.
TBS KOSKBUKO ACCIDENT.
The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury Finds
No One Guilty.
Robeburg, Oct. 7. The coroner's jury
today beld an inquest on tbe bodies - of
Albert Toy, John McGonigle and George
K. Happersett, who were killed in tbe
collision yesterday on the Southern Pa
cific. The jury found no one guilty of
breaking the regulations of running, but
there was a deficiency in' judgment as
to the distance from the fog that would
make them safe in commencing to flag
again which, according to the evidence,
they were intending to resume.

ABOUT THE , "SLGPPER."
His Researches in the Garbage Recep
tacles and Ills finds.
"That man U a slopper," remarked a
police officer to a Washington Star
writer a few, mornings since, "and he
and his class give us amy amount of
trouble. If he stole we could reach
him. by law, but as he only finds we can
not easily reach him." , In further ex
planation he said: "A stopper is a taan
who searches through the garbage cans
iu the alleys in. the rt'ar of hotels, board
ing1, houses and private houses. Some
search for spoons,' knives and forks
that are thrown into the garbage recep
tacles by careless servants, for it is a
fact that there are more silver spoons,
and knives and forks thrown away
with the garbage than arc stolen by
servants, though the contrary is gen
erally believed. The slopper is gener
ally an hour or so ahead of the garbage
collector and he is often more regular
and careful in his rounds than the gar
bage man. ' L
" 'By industry we thrive,' as the line
in the copy-books used to contain, and
by industry on. a good west end route,
especially; one which takes in a num
ber of boarding houses or hotels, a slop
per can find enough tableware to pay
the expenses of his tour. Often he
makes a rich find. Very frequently he
has permission to 'slop?- the can from
the owners of the house themselves, for
he teila.them he is on the lookout for
stray pieces of meat, etc-, which he sells
to those who have dogs to feed. Some
stoppers are honest enough to return
any silverware they- may find for' the
dog-meat privilege,, but it is a terrible
temptation to many and one they can
not or do not at times withstand."

WELCOMING A RIVER.
A JTojfnl Oceanian to tbo .People of a
l'ortioa of Pern. . :
lu the long coast ?J desert of Peru,
which is some S,CC0 miles in length,
but only 120 miles broad at its widest
part, the rivers, Maj. A, F. Sears says,
disappear in the dry season and begin
to flow again in February or. March'
when rain falls in the Cordjil?ia3. One
of the most important.of these rivers is
the Piura, the return of whose waters is
welcomed with great rejoicings by the.
inhabitants ; of its banks. About the
time when "the coming of the river"
is expected, says the Youth's Compan
ion, eager inquiries as to the progress
of the water are put to all persons who
chance to .come from the head of the
valley, and when, the water approaches
the town of Piura processions go out to
meet it, and escort its. first trickling
stream down the dry river-bed with
music and fireworks. At the outskirts
of the city thousands of people greet its
arrival. 'The. valley of the l'iura.ia said
by Maj. Sears to produce excellent cot
ton, although its possibilities in this
respect are not well developed for lack
of systematic irrigation.. Once in a
period of from five to seven" years rain
falls.upon the coastal plain, whereupon,
with magic quickness, grass and flow
ers cover it, axid cattle browse in its
pastures, but in a fevr weeks everything
withers, and desolation reigns once
more upon -th a barren sands.-
