Ad agent of the Prohibition managers was distributing a circular about the grounds aa has been done at other meetings. One being handed to Mr. Blaine by this agent he replied to it ee he had before by showing the folly of the men who pretend to be Prohibitionists and yet advocate taking the tax off whiskey end tobacco. He said that he had not only favored that utz, but be would tavorlnereasing it as long, as there was any .'whiskey sold in the country. He thought that the pohcy of taking the tax off whiskey would help prohibition just about aa much as the organisation of a third party for the purpose of putting the Democrats in power. Mr. Blaine then spoke of the mumfaclurersof Lewiatown and Auburn, pointed out how they would suffer if the Demouets should succeed in carrying out their free trade notions. To the worklngmen present he demonstrated the reduction of wsges and the hardship* that would follow if the free trade policy should prevail.

BLAINE Brooklyn, Aug. 28.—The rtnrtor- regarding the demoralized condition of the Brooklyn stable have a good foundation After the great special race at Sheepsheaa lart spring between Troubadour andfMiss Woodford ft was whispered that the maid had "'gone wrong," but the Dwyers denied the story. It w£B cause a feeling of sincere regret to dtt Invars of horse flesh to know that the rumor* OCtocorning Miss Woodford are true and that rile has completely broken down. Regarding 0m rumors, Phil Dwyer said to-djiy: "It is true that Miss Woodford has broken down, her forelegs having given out completely. 'We shall send hee to Kentucky to be bred to Hindoo some time this fall or next spring. We fed badly, of course, about her misfortune, for we thought * great deal of her outside of har money value. She was a grand horse, and we shall always keep a tender spot in our hearts for her. Tom Martin is also broken down, and I doubt whether he will ever amount to much hereafter. Inspector B. has gone amies, and I 4o not know whether he will be fit for racing either at Sfaeepshead Bay or Jerome Park. He is not broken down, however, and may recover very soon. Tremont, our great 3-yearold, has been retired from the turf for the year. He could not start la any of the 2- year-old events without carrying twelve pounds penalty, adl, as we have worked him hard during thf season, and as he is entered for all the IS-year-oM stakes of next year, we thought it best to retire him. It is not true that his hBof is split. Of course, I cannot say how good he will be as a 3-yeari old, but I know that as a 2-yearold his equal has never been seen in this country, if in the world, litis, of course, unfortunate that all these "complications have come upon us, but the hones have all done good work, and it is the fortune of the turf. We still have some good horses left, including Dew Drop, Hanover, who is yet unbeaten as a 2-year-old, Wlnfred, Pontine, Young Luke, Bramblston, Sichraond, Agnes, Millie, Louise, Bessie June and f Joe Cotton, who will all, I think, give good accounts of themselves before long."

Gentlemen: Your proposition of the 35th inst. was duly received and given prolonged consideration by the local branch of the advisory board of tha Lasters' protective union, together with members of the New England board, and in reply we would say that it is evident to the tasters' Protective nhion of New England that the differences now existing in the city Brockton should be brought to an speedy a settlement as possible for the interest of the manufacturers, the workmen, and particularly the city of Brockton, in which manufacturers and workmen alfke take pride; and in consideration of this fact, after mature and deliberate consideration, we have come to the following conclusions: elation: Islands—Fishery News. Washington, Aug. 38.—J. Harris Sogers has filed with the clerk of the district court his answer to Attorney General Garland's cross bill, in Sogers' suit against the Fan Ktatffc} promoters, which was filed with the courftfjput two weeks ago. Mg Wears, ta respondent, denies all of Mr. Garland's allegations intended to support the defendant's prayer for a dissolution of the Pan Electric Telephone company. He denies that he ever sold Pan Electric stock contrary to agreement, as charged bjp Mr. Garland, and pronounces the attorney general's allegations, which accuse him of violating his contract wholly untrue. He denies that, as Alleged by the attorney general, he was ever hound by any contract, or that be even promtod to devote himself to the protection of his variotas inventions or of any invention, but, an the contrary, he was as free as his associate* and copartners, the defendants, to porme any avocation whatsoever. But nevertheless, Sogers says, he did toil in his laboratory incessantly for the company, while they •ontfibuted nothing. except that, equally with himself,.all the defendants paid soma pitiful sums to mechanics, electricians, etc. Rogers says he always advanced his ratio at fow-tenths of the money needed for exponas*, and in some instances all the money needed, when the defendants were short of funds. Sogers denied that he ever "procured many false and malicious statements to b%4Dubtiahed in the press of the country, both as to the defendant and the company,"' as charged by Mr. Garland, and.submits to the court that since the defendant "never rsod* the newspapers," according to his own freqaent statements to reporters, he has been imposed upon by some malicious person; and be calls upon him to produce in court a single line or word derogatory to the defendant or the company which respondent has caused to be published, except in his original bill of complaint Mr. Sogers answers the attorney general's charge that "the respondent is wholly unreliable" by admitting the charge; "if it be ateant that politicians cannot rely on him to co-operate with them in Qwir nefarious designs to ruin the United OI|Im patent office and the department of justice under secret compacts to advance private interests, aa charged in tlie bill of complaint;" but if it be meant that honorable men cannot rely upon him, he denies the allegation, and in proof of such denial refers to exhibits accompanying his reply, in the shape of letters from Garland, Harris and Atkins introducing Sogers to gentlemen and referring to him as an accomplished and scientific gentleman. Jn this connection Mr. Soger* submits that so exalted a personage as the attorney-general "should not at this late day swallow his own words,, nor preju dice the reputation even of. an obscure young man who had done him many favor* as set forth in the original bill of complaint, and admitted by defendant's answer." Calais, Me. Aug. 28.—Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, opened the Prohibition campaign in this state hero last night, speaking for nearly two hours to a large audienoo. The promoters of the meeting have hitherto voted and acted with the Republican party. Tlie Prohibitionists made no nominatioiis for this county, and as far as is known no attempt was made to dictate nominations to either party. While advising their adherents to follow the dictates of their own consciences regarding local officers, the party will endeavor to poll as heavy a vote as possible on the state ticket. Harrington, Aug. 28.—The Gloucester ochooner Legal Tender, Capt. Oscar Devine, anchored in Harrington bay, on her way botpe from the West bank, with a full tare of cocHlsli. Capt. Devine entered at the custom house, and immediately afterward cleared in due form, but instead of proceeding on her voyage remained in harbor all night. On the following morning it transpired that the Bame schooner, three weeks ago, Ofc her outward voyage, had put  Sag Hal-bor, some twenty miles from Harrington, and the home of Capt. Devine, and shipped several men without reporting at the custom house. For this old offense a tide waiter bearded the vessel, accompanied by another man, and attempted to seise her, but Cttpt, Devine was not ready to receive visitors at that early hour, and besides had his salfa art and anchor weighed, and had started oil Ids voyage to Gloucester. Capt. Devine emphatically refused to obey the tide-waiter's orders to come to anchor or to submit to irmt He kept on out the bay with both officers on board. When a good distance from land the tide waiter came to the conclusion that If he didn't want to go to Gloucester or be pitched overboard hp had better take to his boat and row ashore. This he did while the vessel rounded Cape Sable on her way home. Members of her crew belonging to Shag Harbor had gone ashore to visit their friends. In the belief that the Legal Tender will put into that plaoe to get her men the customs officer* have gone there to lay in wait and capture her. It has been decided to have a great Prohibition rally at Sebago lake Sept. SIX Governor St. John will reply to Blaine, and will devote his entire speech to the Maine statesman. Rev. Dr. Bashford will preside, and Gen. Neal Dow will apeak. There in a report that Gen. Dow will take occasion, before the campaign closes, to indicate his desire that St. John should be again the Prohibftbry candidate for president.. That the proposition received from the Manufacturers' association does not meet with the requirements of the present emergency, inasmuch as it calls for certain conditions which the experiences of! the past have proven to be the source of many labor troubles. CONNECTICUT WARRIORS First—That of creating rules concerning arbitration, etc., which have been given no consideration after their adoption, and it has been demonstrated to our satisfaction, both in the city of Brockton and elsewhere, that better discipline and harmony prevail where differences have been adjusted by the manufacturer* and the Lasters' Protective union without recourse to the intervention of any third party. Hold Bleb Carnival on Their Ijut Day In Camp. "We propose," said a leading Prohibitionist, "to show Mr. Blaine that we are strong enough to defeat him again. He deceived Neal Dow, slapped us all in the face, went back on his word, and now we shall fight him down.' That's all." Niantic, Conn., Aug. 28,—This little vfl. lags never saw such a concourse of people sa invaded it yesterday. It la estimated that fully 10,000 strangers ware present It was ■"Governor1* Day" at Camp Hmith, the moot important period of the week, aqd Connect, lout's militiamen were to show Governor Harrison and his staff what they could do toward defending the state, should an etu«iD gency arise in which their services would be required. Governor Harrison, with his staff, arrived at 10:80 o'clock under escort of the governioi% foot guard. As he drove across the guard line the battery boomed, the consolidated bands played "Hail to the Chief," and the troops presented arms and lowered thefr colors to the commander-in-chief. Governor St. John said: "Mr. Blaine reminds me of the Irishman who knocked down a Jew because he just found out who crucified the Saviour. You'd think, to hear our friend Mr. Blaine talk, that he had just heard of the Prohibition movement. It is a promising thing that the Bepublicaiu are beginning now to notice our existence." Second—To your proposition that the present prices prevail only uiltil Nov. 1 next, we reply as follows: Inasmuch as the present prices are now satisfactory to your associations and the men working them, it would, in our opinion, be "better to have tliem remain in force as they are until April 1, 1887, and thus avoid any dispute that would be likely to arise should the present price list expire November next, as suggested by your proposition. Consul General Phelan, at Halifax, is anxious to obtain official confirmation of the details of the refusal of the customs officer* at- Magdalen islands to allow the American vessel Druid to land her cargo there, after duly entering at the custom house. If the Druid Was a commercial vessel and "fulfilled all the requirements of the law," as the collector admits, the outrage was an unpardonable one, and should receive the immediate attention of both government*. If the Druid was only » fishing vessel the collector's act was equally outrageous, because the Magdalen islands are specially exempt from the nonintercourse clauses of the treaty, and ought to ba as free to American fishermen as they are to Cwnadia— Governor St John read from The Argus . the beginning of Mr. Blaine's speech a boat • prohibition. "The pending contest is marked," lie read, "hy the presence of a third party, organised, as its leaders say, to enforce the prohibition of the liquor traffic ilk Maine." 0 ] The Brooklyn stable has already won nearly 1150,000 during the present season, which is $87,MO more than their total winnings for 1894, and $63,000 more than their 1889 winnings. Miss Woodford's total earning* amount to $109,480, by far the greatest amount over won* by hay horse on the American turf; The great event of the day was the review of the troops by the governor, MUoh occurred at 2 o'clock. After the retfcw the grounds were cleared and the mortar battery, of four pieces, worked by Lieutenant Jones, tT. 8. A., with one company of Connecticut infantry, took part in some shelling practice. The whining through the air of the pro jeotUes was somewhat musical and at the same time rather terrifying. Among the arrivals At camp were Senators Hawley and Piatt. In consideration of the foregoing, we respectfully submit for your approval, the following as a basis for the settlement of the prosent difficulty. First, That the present prices remain in force and be purely applied to the grade of work for which they were compiled until April, 1887. "I wonder if he didn't think tha pending contest wasn't marked that way two yaars ago." » Mr. Blaine says: "The Republican party has, from the day of its organisation, been pledged to prohibition, enacting the principal statute now in force in 1857-8, and since amending it from year to year as the temperance people requested." Second, That no member of the Lasters1 Protective union be dischargad for Uis connection with that.organization. MARRIED HIS STEPMOTHER A Philadelphia!! Marries His Father's The brigade broke camp and left for hoase to-day. Hoping that you will give this your eartiest attention, it is respectfully sabmitijlL, Advisory board, Lif\ V. As the abov* statement distinctly refuses to accept arbitration, many believe that it will inevitably precipitate a Split in the labor ranks, and that in .the contest to follow, the Knightu will side with the manufacturers. Later in the evening the strike was amicably fettled through t.Bi saaik a:eCl intervention of the peace cammHtaa. * " If I talked 111 that way people would call me a demagogue. If I were to toll you only half a truth you would not call oe truthful. Let me tell yon where our friend Blaine failed to tell you the whole truth. He neglected to ray that six years before 1857 the Ant gave Maine (prohibition, oe would have us believe that the t party was the father of prohlbiin Maine. He knew that to be an unl. Why, the very thing that drove Neal WtM the Republioairparty was their failure to have the prohiMnon enactments enforced in Main*. t  Mr. Blaine ought to hBr* told you the' whole truth. It would be enough if one of us little fellows made a misstatement, but the gigantic mind of a great statesman should not be used in that way. Mr, Blaine says that the third party, in their convention, jkeerfully testify that prohibition has been so veil enforced by the Republicans, that in their judgment Maine is a Quarter of a century ahead - of (Ml license states in all that pertain* to the temperance reform. That is unfair. Ska Girt, Stats Camp, Aug. 28.—A wedding which interested many of the soldiers encamped here took plaoe in Manasqnan, a wnall village adjoining Sea Girt Washington Parks, a furniture manufacturer, of Philadelphia, was married "to his stepmother, Mrs. Parks.

Inasmuch as the widow has married again she forfeit* her tliaJuOO, but in conformance with the terms implied in the will the estate goes to her husband. Mr. Parka, who is 36 years of age. always manifested great fondness for his young stepmother which eventually ripened into lbve. Their weddiug created considerable stir in this locality.

One of the letters referred to, dated Washington, Jan. 0, 1883, addreered to Congressmen Hewitt and Cox and signed by Mr. Garland,reads as fallows: New York, Aug. 28.—The executive committee of the Clothing Manufacturers' asoelation adopted resolutions that the action of the intters in ordering a Ktriko at certain shops which employ non-union men is a violation of the just relations between employer and employed; that the demand for the discharge of non-union men is a violation of the principle that every employer shall be at libierty to employ who be pleases; and that after Aug.

Hedging for a Strike. St John said: "Blaine isn't progressive, he isn't honest, and he isn't fair. He is fighting the Prohibitionists to-day, and will carry the light beyond the state. He has already declared that the Republican party is not a prohibitory party in the nation. I have no fear of the result We are right, and therefore stronger than Mr. Blaine. " LoNDOitDiaRY, Aug. 88.—Bev. Dr. Kane, grand master of the Orange lodge of Belfast, who embarked for Canada in the Allan line steamer Circassian to-day, was interviewed by a Cable News reporter ft Londonderry. The chief objects of his tour of .the Valued States and Canada, he explained, were* to refute the slanders which had been circulated by that bureau of slanders, the National league, and to show, the Canadians and Americans that the chief aims of the Parnellfte leaders are to indulge in ptnonal . luxury which would otherwise than by contribution be beyond their t reach, and to gratify their irrational hatred of Protestants, of the crown and of the empire. The National league, ha said, is an immoral and atheistic conspiracy. Dr. Katie repeated his views of the Belfast riots, expressed some time ago, fixing the responsibility therefor upon the Catholics, but grudgingly admitted that the Protestants had in some instances exceeded the bounds of discretion.

The Knights, .who are very cautious about thoir utterances, claim to be strong enough to defeat the company in the expected struggle.

Rogers further submits that the Pan Electric Telephone company is no party to this cause; that the right of subpena is as old as equity practice, and that even an attorney general is bound to bring parties into court before their eause can be tried, and finally Rogers submits that all the allegations of the defendant in this behalf intended to support a monstrous proceeding, as aforesaid, are not only untrue and reckless in the extreme but most impertinent and scandalous."
