The business blocks are locked in holiday attire. From 10,000 to 15,000 strangers are in the city. Mr. Lacombe was out of town. Meanwhile the Western Union people seem determined to take advantage of the situation, and declare they will go right ahead. Although there Is no Official expression from the corporation counsel its yet, it appears highly probable that he will side with the commis- :pEDding against him, says: Mayor William B. Smith is busy with three 6t the best lawyers in the city preparing his defense in the impeachment trial which was favorably reported upon Monday and is Hkely to be ordered by the common council at ita next session. He has been closeted much lately with the few influential people who remain loyal to him still, and every effort is making to secure the intervention of the Republican leaders. tag.

His secretary, Mr. Sefton, says at least that he has heard Mr. Lacombe state privately that the hanging of the wires overhead was a clear violation of the law. Gen. SheraumV address in calling the meeting to order-was brief, but warm and touching. He said: Once more the Society of the Army of the Tennessee Is gathered in annual assembly for business, and to experi- L Mice the pleasure we all feel in each other's i presence as we remember the past We have D met in the beautiful oity of Rock Island on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, about ■ which many of those who served with us had' their homes and about which a good number Of our members live to-day. This locality was the scene of war, but not such a war is we had. It was an Indian war, and over there on the island which lies between.the cities of Davenport and Rock Island, whose guests we are, was Fort Armstrong, where the troops gathered, some of them marching hundreds of miles to reach it Then came soother war, and the possession of this grand river was involved in it The result was that ' now, the Mississippi, as Lincoln beautifully expressed it, flows unvexed to the sea. There is no doubt that Jay Gould is vi Before he was elected mayor he was regarded as one of the cleanest men then prominent in municipal affairs. To-day he is believed by many to be guilty of malfeasanoe In office and of the wilful use of public money for his private purposes. Hi* career has been like that of a sky rocket He dawned upon political life in a blaze of enthusiasm. He is likely to leave it in disgrace. The mayor first appeared before the public when he was elected to fill an unexpired term in select council, in 1880. At the end of that term he was regarded as a positive reformer, and the bosses nominated James Dobeon, a wealthy manufacturer, to succeed him. The Western Union company, it is stated, is prepared for any move that may be made on the part of either the police department or the subway commissioners. JAY Superintendent Green denied that the Western Union was evading the law, claiming the company had made a contract with the elevated roads over seven years ago about stringing the wires to that structure. He forwarded yesterday afternoon a reply to Mr. Flower's communication. In this letter Dr. Green says that he has a right to use the elevated road for placing the wires, and that in doing so the spirit of the law is complied with. He contends that the law was intended to remove telegraph polea, and that the cable under the elevated road is as much out of the way as if it was buried underground. PARSON DOWN8 CHOKED OFF. rh» Baptist Aiwdtlloi Ml Mot Car* to Hear His rl Thrtoe men, one of them Gen. Stewart, the present chief of police, bolted the convention. The same day he was introduced to CoL Mc- Clure, editor of The Times, and that paper brought him out as an independent candidate and warmly indorsed him. The committee of one hundred and one branch of the Democratic party indorsed him and he was elected. Joshua L. Baily, now one of the mayor's most bitter enemies, in a speech declared that the victory was one of the greatest ever won by reform in Philadelphia, and that was the sentiment generally expressed. Smith was elected president of select council to the discomfiture of the bosses, and in 1884, when the term of king (Dom.) expired, he was unanimously nominated for mayor by the Republicans. As it was believed that he had been captured by the party leaders, and as'he had written a letter repudiating the principles of civil service reform, the committee of one huudred arrayed themselves against him. CoL McClure also opposed him, but he wai elected by 12,000 majority, and his victory resulted in the eventual death of the reform committee. The mayor's course from the first has been such as to greatly weaken the public confidence which was at first reposed in him. He had pledged himself to give the city a reform administration, but his term has been a series of scandals, culminating in the eharges 'of illegal use of the city's money, with subsequent disgraceful disclosures, and the recommendation by the investigating committee that he be impeached. The feeling is that nothing but the intervention of James Mo- Manes and other political leaders can save the mayor. Rkaoimo, Mas., Itept 16.—The thirtyeighth anniversary of the Boston North Baptist association was held here yesterday, the local church being picked. The committee appointed to investigate the Bowdoin Square church, of Boston, reported that the association was voluntary and It had a right to sever the connection with it of any delinquent church; for initance, any church which might openly allow its members to indulge In polygamy. The oommittee asked that the association dissolve its connection with the Bowdoin Square church. Rev. W. W. Downs objected to the report, but it Was formally accepted. Mr. Downs was allowed to speak and addressed the association for half an hour, reviewing the scandal with' which his name ham been associated, and protesting his innocence. When Mr. Downs undertook to describe the iff air in Mr. Tabor's room, when the officers burst in the door, he was cautioned to discuss the subject in a proper manner. Be continued to talk until the association voted to cut off discussion. Downs especially requested that his church be allowed to withdraw, and it was unanimously granted. DRAMATIC COURT SCENE. A number of committees were appointed for the ensuing year. Weeping Audibly Over » Son, Brother Gen.

George, on the contrary, has been somewhat of a man about town, and his father very anxious for him to settle down. The young man's choice is in every way satisfactory to the family. Mr. Gould's friends say he fairly beamed when he entered his office yesterday. He had not forgotten the hug the young lady gave him when she landed oh the wharf at Irvington the day before. WISCON8IN DEMOCRATS. Gen. O. A. Woodward Nominated for Madison, Wis., Sept. 18.—The Democrats of Wisconsin met in state convention yesterday, and the greatest harmony prevailed.

An Engineer and Fireman Killed and the Engine Capslsed. Freeman Smith, in an eloquent speech, then stated the case for the defense. During Smith's speech, and while commenting on Webster's unblemished character, the prisoner, the whole Webster family, including father, mother and two sisters and Miss Hall, his betrothed, wept audibly, presenting a dramatic scene. Among .other things the defense proposes to prove an alibi. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 16.—A wreck occurred in the suburbs of this city last night at H o'clock.

The engineer was buried beneath the wreck and could not be extricated for several hours. Both -men left families in Atlanta.  The mayor has for months been throwing his influence in the primaries so as to strengthen his position for a renomination. In other words, he set up as a boss himself. Now he has turned in for the judgeship candidates who are supported by McMancs, and a day or two ago he Bent one of his lawyers to Judge Briggs and told him frankly that be would support him, a thing that was utterly unexpected. It is believed that this is the flrshstep in a programme to have the members of councils who are under the control of the managers instructed to let up on the mayor.

The intemperate and excessive use of intoxicating liquors Is earnestly to be deplored, and we believe the liquor traffic should be regulated by reasonable and liberal laws, but regard the enactment of sumptuary or prohibitory laws, whether general or local, designed exclusively for arbitrary regulation of the personal habits of artisans, as an exercise of legislative power unwarranted by the constitution, and contrary to the fundamental principles of all free government, and justified by no practical results yet attained in th* experience of mankind.
