At Brunswick and Augusta demonstrations wore made, and at the latter place the crowd gavo the president an old fashioned Maine cheer. On leaving Augusta the president sat down to lunch with Senator Hale. The repqst was interrupted by the arrival of the train at Watorville, where there was a large crowd assembled on the green in front of the depot., A •alute graata&fhe president as he left tlie train for th. first time since the departure from Boston. He was escorted by the governor's staff to a platform near by, and was Introduced to the people by Mayor Meader, who said: Liverpool, Aug. 9.—The feeling with reference to the verdict In the Maybrick case runs very high in Liverpool, one section maintaining that the prisoner should have had the benefit of the doubt set up by the conflict of medical evidence as to the cause of death, while others maintain that the jury, upon the evidence and the summing np, bad no other course open to them than that of .finding the prisoner guilty. Two memorials have already been set on foot, one from the bar and the other from jnorchants and brokers. "What is the matter with the tenmf You are disgracing the Boston public and Music hall is filled witlj hisses daily. You had better put Madded, Johnston and Smith in cotton.

There is a large and sudden demand for pig irou and prices are advanciug rapidly. Under the act of Maroh 8, 1885, •1.899,000 was appropriated for the construction of two cruisers nnd two gunboats. The'Newark, cruisar No. 1, and the Yorktown, gunboat No. 1, were contracted for with W. Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia, at the prices of $1,- 248,000 and $455,000 respectively. The former is not to be completed until October 27 next; tho Yorktown was accepted and is in commission. ALIVE AND THRIVING.

Mr. P.ckford, tho junior counsel engaged with Sir Charles Russell in the defence of Mrs. Maybrick, has placed the following petition in the Barrister's library at St George's hall, where it was numerously signed: "It is our glad and pleasant privilege on this beautiful summer day to welcome to our state our beloved and honored president, and it is my special privilege to infrtxiuco to you Benjamin Harrison, president of tbe United States."

The sleepy bridge policeman did not observe StepheQ, and be bad no trouble in climbing oyer the railing and flndlng a comiurtable place to leap from. The distance to the water wag only a little over sixty feet This, iu Stephen's estimation, was "a pudding." He jumped, feet foremost, aDd landed in a smother of loam. He swam without assistance to the left bank, 200 yards below the bridge, and climbed up without a scratch on him. Jlrodle'. I.ate.t Jump. IN THE BASEBALL WORLD. EvEBSorr, Pa., Aug. 9.—Later—Tha coke strike is sett'ed and the men hava won. At a conference between the operators and men, whiclflasied six hours and was very lively, the strike was settled on the 05 cents per hundred bushel rate. This is an advance of from 15 to 20 cents in some instances and (50 per cent in others. A pacific clause has also been put in the scale that no man shall be discharged for participating in Ihe strike. About 11,000 ovens will start at once. This is a great victory to. the men, and will be the means of strengthening their organization.To THE Right Hon.

Mr. Hamlin said: An Immense Crowd at Hunger New York, Aug. 9.—Ferdinand W. Hoefle, partner of E. S. Allen in the iron business, has beeii arrested, charged with complicity in Allen's issue of forged street railway stocks. On being questioned by Inspector Byrnes Ho. 03 said that be first became acquainted with Allen in 1879, tha occasion of tbe acquaintance being that he was manager of the Bovvory theatre, and Mrs. Allen, known on (lie stage as Ethel Allen, got an engagement there. Afterward Hoefle and Alien went into business together, Hoefle assigning to Allen a number of patents, for which Allen gave him in ail 668 sharas of the railway stock, worth $180,000. Hoefle bypothc cited these with various banks, borrowing §90,000 on them, and putting the money into the business. His interest in the business was one-fortieth and Allen's thirtynine-fortieths.The morebnnts and brokers pray that the sentence of death may be respited with a view to commutation or reprieve, on the ground that there was no direct evidence of tbe administration of arsenic by the prisoner to the deceased; that the case against the prissier on general facts was unduly prejudiced by Ihe evidence of motive; that there is room for grave doubt whether the circumstAutial ovidence relied on by the prosecution was weighty enough to justify conviction; that there was a strong body of medical evidence on behalf of the defense that death was ascribable to natural causes; that there was not Mitfloient evidence on the part of tho prosecution that it was due to arsenical poisoning; that having regard to the conflicting nature of the medical evidence nnd the very widespread doubt as to the propriety of the verdict on general grounds, it would be in the highest degree unsafe to permit an irrevocable sentence to be carried out.

Mrs. Maybrick added she had an inward conviction that she would not be hanged, for many who would remain friendly to her are making every effort to obtain reprieve. It had, she considered, been conclusively proved by medical evidence of the most weighty description that her husband had not died from arsenical poisoning. She felt that if the modical evidence alone was placed before the home office authorities they would never indorse the sentence of the jury—a sentence which, despite her terror and anguish at the time, she knew perfectly well was not in accord with the feeling of the general public.

Affairs in Haytl. Chicago, Aug. 9—It is now positively known that the reunion of old soldista to be held in Milwaukee on ths occasion o{. the Twenty-third G. A. R. Encampment, during the last week in August, will be a magnificent success. Notwithstanding the ill advised circulars issued by a few department commanders, requesting comrades to refrain from going to Milwaukee on account of their failure to bulldoze the railroad companies into making excursion rates below the actual cost of transportation, the rank and file of the Grand Army aro going to the reunion in overwhelming numbers. The advice of Commander-in-Chief Warner to "go, if possible," seems to meet the inclination of a large majority of the ve tarsus who fought to save the Union, and who, now that that the war is over, refuse to be "ordered" by individuals poosossed of a little brief authority. . The City of Milwaukee hss renewed its invitation to all te come; its Common Council has appropiisted $40,000 to pay for tents and barracks; $10,000 will be spent in arranging for a Naval Battle to be fought on Lako Michigan in full view of a quarter of mlllit n of spectators, aod other thousands of dollars will be contributed by public spirited citissns for the entertainment of the city's guests. 1 he railroad companies terminating at Milwaukee have heartily co operated with the Citizens' Committe and have demonstrated that their tendencies are liberal in many ways. Private residet cee will be thrown open, hotels wilt be reasonable in charges for board, schools, churches snd halls will famish abundant facilities for lodging those who have not made previus preparations for places to lay their heads. There will be plenty to eat and drink, and tTie only thing to remember is: "Leave yoor trunk at home and bring only such baggage as can be curried in a satchel in your band." Don't forget thia particular injunction. Milwaukee extends a hearty greeting to tbe bojs in blue and their families and their friend#, and expects to see in the grand parade a larger convoutse of veterans keeping step to the music of the Union thso hss been gathered together since the close of the war of the rebellion. Tenner Refuged Ilelease. There were also provided for in the act of 1889 a harbor ram of the plan designed by Admiral Am men, and a dynamite cruiser of the Vesuvius type.
