Tuesday, October IS, 1STO.
Geneual HonEUT E. Lke died last
Wednesday morning at his residence in
Virginia from a paralytic fctrokc.
The President has issued another
neutrality proclamation forbidding the
enlisting of men, or the aiding in any
manner of any nation or government with
whom we arc at peace, and cautioning all
those who by enlisting men, arming or
equipping vessels, or in any other manner
act contrary to the neutrality laws, of
the penalty of such action.
At ono of the Election Precincts in
the Southern part of the city of Phila
delphia, it was necessary to bring out the
Marines to enable the colored voters to
reach the polls. The doing of this was
the cause of an angry correspondence be
tween the Mayor and the U. S. Marshal.
It is the opinion of many persons that
the unprecedented freshet in the James
and Shcnadoah rivers was not caused by a
continued rain, but by something like
the bursting of a water-spout on or about
their head-waters, and their sources are
not a very great distance apart. The
flood came down in the Shenadoah in
ureat waves succeeding each other rap
idly. The Election.
In this county the result of the election
was an entire defeat of the l'epublican
party, the Democrats electing their whole
ticket. As the ticket, presented to the
voters of the Republican party was the
best that has been nominated for years
and was generally acceptable to the vo
ters of that party, we can lay their defeat
only to luke-warmness, and dissatisfaction
created by the passage of the Fifteenth
Amendment.
In several other counties in the
.State, the Republicans havo been defeat
ed, where they usually have had a majori
ty, while in Wayne and Luzerne county,
heretofore Democratic stronsr holds, the
Republicans have a good majority.
Dy this election the Democrats proba
bly gain three Congressmen and perhaps
tour. In the btate hegislature the Re.
publicans will have a majority of ono in the
feenate, while the Assembly will be large
lv Republican.
In Indiana both parties claim the vic
tory and the vote is so close that tho re
suit will only bo determined by the official
returns, though wo think the chances
are that the state has been carried by the
Democrats, by a small majority.
J&Sj cuits Have been brought, in the
District court of tho U. S., in Cincinnati,
to recover $G, 000,000 of unpaid revenue
tax in tho Third Ohio District. The
Philadelphia A'e says it will bo shown
if tho matter is pushed, that all the rev
enue officials of tins district have been in
collusion with the distillers.and others, to
defraud the government.
JBSy" John Ppcer, an Internal Revenue
Collector, has been arrested in Kansas,
charged with embezzling $159,000 of
government money, hpcer seems to have
been a good fellow at " Collecting," but
very " costivo" in pavinjr over. He was
allowed to go on a bail bond of only
about one-third the amount ho is charged
with keeping which looks a3 if " the
jury all had a piece of tho pork."
JBS7 A Kansas lady, on retiring to her
room ono night, found it literally, fdled
with martins, which had flown in during
her absence. Instead of harshly turning
them out into the cold, the kind-hearted
lady captured nearly all the little crea
tures and hud them served up, the next
day in a pot-pie.

A Gauntlet of Fli c.
A railroad train coming from Toledo
to Dayton, last week, accomplished a des
perate feat safely. When near Anna's
station, two immense stacks of wood on
each sido of the, road, were discovered to
be on fire, tho flames shooting up high
in the air, and lapping each other
across the track. None of the passengers
were aware of the danger ahead.
Tho train moved at fearful speed, and
tho passengers wondered at tho rapidity
at which they were going. Rut the rea
son was soon mado clear. For an instant,
as tho train passed through the roaring
flames the heat was intense, tho flames
licking the sides of tho cars and leaped
over the train. The fright this daring
feat occasioned among the passengers
lasted but a moment, and joy was depict
ed on every face when the danger was
passed. The train slackened up its
speed and arrived safely at Dayton.
IK-i?" Sunday afternoon last two women,
Catharine Rrady and Elizabeth McAnul
ty, were fearfully cut and torn by a fe
rocious Siberian blood hound, owned by
I'eneburg, New Brighton, Staten Island.
The girls, who were in the employ of
tho above gentlemen, were walking to
ward home, when the animal sprung upon
Miss Rrady, and in ono bite tore her
right breast from hcrbody-
Thc other girl, in attempting to save
her companion, was set upon by the
hound, who tore her arm in a shocking
manner. Their lives were, however,
saved by Officer Mead, who fired three balls
into the animal's body and killed him. .
The girl Brady's life is despaired of.
and she was not expected to live until
this morning,
The other young woman is in a very
serious condition.

B6s?A very singular trial for wife
murder has just concluded at Wayne

ceased woman had suffered most unheard
of torture at tho hands of the prisoner;
that he had been in the habit of beating
her with hickory sticks, and ho used to
compel her to do field-work while in a
waytobeeomo a mother; but, notwith
standing nil tho evidence! of nnifdtv. thn

had been murder, and acquitted the
prisoner.
IQT Mrs. llorcck, residing at No. 100
Twenty-first street, it was supposed by
her friends died on the morning of tho

being n mystery, an examination of the
supposed case was made by Dr. Miller,
who discovered that the woman was not
dead but only in a trance. Up to a re
cent date she remained so.
