The elections in Ohio and Iowa
will occur on the second Tuesday of
October, and both attract unusual
attention because they will largely
indicate the probable result of next
year's Presidential contest In both
States all th anti-temperance ele

forces, are arrayed against the Re
publican party.
Last week the Democrats of New
JerseV nominated Leon Abbott for
Governor. Out of the C3'' votes in I
the convention, be secured 3.'5, or
fourteen more than a majority. A
motion to make bis nomination
unanimous was bowled down, and
the delegates rushed out, without
adjournment. There is fun ahead,
in the little State of peaches and j
mosquitoes.
Hendricks, of Indiana, the late
candidate for Vice Trtsident, and

claim that party to be the friend of
the working man and of protection
to his industry.
The Cirubria Freeman charges the
editor of the Cincinnati Times with
being a "political guerilla," because
be will not support Hoadly, the
Democratic candidate for Governor
ef Ohio. Last year the Frecmin
thought that the "Independent" Re
publican editors of this State, w ho
opposed General Beaver, were brave,
patriotic, glorious Reformers. What
& vust difference it makes as to whose
ox is gored ! !
According to its published state
ment, the Western I'niou Telegraph
Company earned during the year
ending June SOih. f 16,454 ,,002 ; its
expenses wtre ?1 1,704,553, and its
clear profits $7,000,349; dividends
amounting to seven per cent, were
paid, and there is a surplus of Su,
782,0SG on hand. No wonder the
operators were "knocked out" when
they attempted to buck against this
pile.
General Beaver has sent the fol
lowing reply to Chairman Cooper,
who invited him to take the stump
for the ticket :
Bellefoxte, Sept 7.
My Dear Cooper : My Louie en
gagements are numerous and press
ing, but if I am needed you may
place me among the reserves. It is
next to impossible for me to speak
in the open air and most particularly
at night Subject to these necessary
conditions I wish to do all in my
power to win this fall. You can put
me wherever I can do the most good.
With 60 good a ticket and with all
the issues so decidedly in our favor,
there should be no question as to the
result
Cordially yours,
James A. Beaver.
Samuel J. Randall, Democratic
Member of Congress from Philadel
phia, and candidate for Speaker of
he next House, was drawn as a ju
ror, and is serving as such in one of
the city courts. The fact that Mr.
Randall is discharging a duty in
cumbent upon every citizen, appears
to have excited the highest admira
tion in the hearts of the Democratic
editors of the State, and his every
look and act is watched and fully
telegraphed as a matter of gTave mo
ment Really, Mr. Raddall's conde
scension is too, too admirable.
The Record will prove, that from
an early period of the extra session,
the Republicans have constantly
urged an adjournment, while the
administration leaders Gordon, in
the Senate, and Ammerman, in the
House to every proposition ol trie
kind, have come forward with the
statement that the Governor would
keep the Legislature in session until
the crack of doom, if apportionment
bills were not passed, and the power
of the Democratic caucus was invok
ed to back up the Governor, and
whin recalcitrant members into
standing by him. There wa9 only
one way to end the useless session,
and save the daily squandering of
$3,000 of the eople's money, and
that was, to stop the rations. Ac
cordingly, the Republican Senate,
by passing a concurrent resolution to
stop all pay after the 10th of this
month, closed that leak, the Demo
cratic House not daring to refuse
concurrence. Now comes the news
from Ilarrisburgthat the Governor
has determined to veto the resolu
tion, and so the $3,0i daily expend
iture will have to go on. What do
the tax payers think of that for a
''Reform Governor ?"
The Republican Senators on Tues
day of last week determined to
adopt heroic treatment of the extra
session malady. Accordingly, they
passed a bill stopping all pay after
the 10th inst, and this bill being
carried in the House, over the heads
of the Administration bosses, by a
combined Republican and Demo
cratic vole, an appropriation bill
covering expenses to the date fixed
upon, was passed in the Senate, and
then it was further agreed upou in a
conference of Republican Senators,
that twentv-one Senators should be
present on every Tuesday and then
immediately adjourn to Friday; then
w- . 1 1 1 A
meet on 1-rulay ana najourn 10
Tuesday, and neither make speec hes
themselves nor allow any to be made
by others to entertain any proposi
tion or resolution whatever. Nine
Senators are to be relieved alternate
ly to go home or do with themselves
as they see proper. This bold effort to
force the adjournment of a session,
which it was long since demonstrat
ed was utterlv useless, and was sim
ply wasting the people's money, is
justifiable on the principle that des
perate cases demand desperate rem
edies. Now, we shall see how long
after the $10 per day has been stop
ped, their solicitude for the injunc
tions of the Constitution will keep
the Democrats in session. The issue
has now been squarely made. Let
the Republicans stand fast, and the
people will render their verdict
when next they go to the polls.
The Democrats of Ohio have be
come so tinctured with the "Inde
pendent"' doctrine, preached by their
ieaders last year, for the sole benefit
of Republicans, that they have con
cluded to "try it on" for themselves.
Accordingly, by a most energetic
kicking against the "bosses" and the
"machine" we believe that's the
way they put it last year they have
inaugurated quite as lively a shindig
as the Republicans of New York and
Pennsylvania indulged in a year
since. The Cincinnati Imjuirer, the
leading : Democratic- paper of the
State, reads U. S. Senator Pendleton
out of the party, and uses the follow
ing language in regard to him :
Mr. lVmlleton thoull for once take ofT liis
(lisjruiw, place liiti)M.'lf at the iieal of the
KetoriiuTN ami finally fa'.l into the i:.'inl(
liran party, with which he has mnnil'ouvi
svnipathv ever since he entered the Senate.
The lVniK-rats of Hamilton county are al
most a unit in regarding him as a man who
has done his utmost to bring confusion to
them. If he ha not been an out-and-out-traitor,
he has been an obstruction and a
drag, diseouraKiiij; important IVmocratic
enterprise's and winking at dissensions.
And the "respectable" Democrats
of Cincinnati have kicked to one
side the "machine made ticket,'"
which they charge was nominated
by shameless fraud and corruptiou,
and have put an "Independent"
ticket in the field. We don't exact
ly know what kind of an animal a
"respectable" Democrat is, but we
suppose respectability consists in
kicking against what you can't con
trolat least, that seemed to be the
idea in this State last year. Howev
er, we have it on undoubted Demo
cratic authority, that 05,000 "respect
able" Democrats signed the call for
the convention that placed the In
dependent ticket before the Cincin
nati Democracy.
Thi3 reveals a most unexpected
number of "respectable" Democrats
in Cincinnati, as well as a surprising
amount of independence in that
party. It is very evident that all the
good seed sown by the Democratic
press last year did not fall upon
barren soil, but has germinated
where least expected or wished for,
and produced a beautiful crop of
dragon's teeth. Of course, we re
joice in this evidence of the growth
of a "healthy, manly independence,"
of a determination to "throw off the
shackles of party," the breaking to
pieces of the "machine," the "over
throw of the bosses," this bold, brave
"declaration of independence," this
"uprising of the people against their
taskmasters," this "glorious Reform."
If we have forgotten any of the cur
rent phrases, wherewith the Demo
cratic leaders, last vear, hissed on
the Independent Republicans, we
most humbly tender our regrets, but
we do assure them, that we enjoy
the sight of the engineer hoist by
his own petard ; the spectacle of the
cunning knave falling into the pit he
digged for another.
GLEANINGS.
The protective tariff is a barbed
wire fence upon which Democrats
find uncomfortable rest It has ru
ined the political pantaloons and
spoiled the peace of mind already of
a host of Democratic statesmen, and
the worst torn places have not yet
been seen.
Wherever you find a man that was
a Greeley bolter in lS72,or a Gaston
bolter in 1S74, or a Tilden bolter in
1S7G, or a iriend of bolters in New
York, Pennsylvania, New Hamp
shire, or elsewhere, there you win
surely find a man who ha3 the per
petual fidgets for fear somebody or
or other is going to turn traitor to
the Republican party. bomn lrav
tiler. A story is told of a certain politic
al caucus in Maine which was attend
ed by only two jersona, Hannibal
Hamlin and one other. Mr. Ham
lin elected the other man chairman,
and proceeded to transact the busi
ness in hand. Rut the credentials
of the delegates certified that they
were elected at "a large and respect
able caucus of the Republicans of
, because," as Mr. Hamlin ex
plained to the puzzled chairman,
"you are large and I am respecta
ble." There is a refreshing directness in
Colorado politics that is not without
its charm. Mr. Jerome B. Chaffee,
who wants to be the next Governor,
writes a red-headed letter to Senator
Rowen, in which he says: "You
can't be friendly with Hill and me
at the same time. You can't ride
two horses." To which the wrath
ful Rowen answers : "I wish you to
understand, damn you, that neither
can two horses ride me." The gram
mar of this may not be all that is
desired, but the point and the pith
of the interchange are relishing.

What Blaine Says.
Rostox. September 11. Recently,
in answer to the inquiry of a friend
as to his opinion respecting the Re
publican prospects in las-i, Air.
i5laine said :
"At the present time I regard the
prospects of the Republicans in the
campaign of JS4 better than they
were a year before the campaign of
1SS0, and in every way more nope-
ful than they were a year prior to
the election of 1S70. For years there
has not been so general a feeling of
harmonv in the Republican party
as exists at the present time, while
the absence of anything like unity
of sentiment on the leading issue,
the tariff, by the Democratic lead
ers leads intelligent men to distrust
that organization more than ever.
Being asked about available canai-
dates he said that he thought a
western man would be stronger, all
things considered, than an eastern
man.
Illainc on Hutler's Future.
Augusta, September 12. Hon.
James G. Llame was called upon
this evening for the purpose of as- j
certaining what foundation there ;
was for the story published on Tues
day purporting to give his views
touching Butler's political future.
Mr. Blaine says the views attributed
to him were precisely the reverse of
those he held. He said that he did
not believe General Butler could be
re elected Governor of Massachusetts
and that he had the fullest confi
dence in a Republican President be
ing chosen next year. The Repub
lican party, he added, would be
found far stronger in the elections of
1SS3 than it was either in 1S75 or
1S7"J.

Highwaymen Who Used Pepper.
Williavsport, September 11.
About midnight last night as con
stable John J. Kohn was going home
on West Third Street, and within
two blocks of Park Hotel, two col
ored men jumped in front of him
and threw pepper in his eyes, which
blinded and bewildered him so that
he fell an easy prey to the highway
men. They relieved him of his wal
let, containing sixty-eight dollars,
and a large pocket book tilled with
papers and escaped. This morning
pepper was found liberally sprinkled
on the pavement where they assault
ed him, but no trace of the robbers
could be found. The constable's
eyes are very much swollen and inflamed.

Vest
Missoula, Montana, September
12. Senator Vest and Delegate Ma
ginnis, of the Indian Commission,
returned to-day from St Mary'8
Mission, Bitter Root Valley, at the
Flathead Agency. The Iudians re
fused to sell any portion of their re
serve or to move to another reserva
tion. They said that they had no
grievances, and were highly pleased
with their agent, Roman. All they
desired was to keep whisky away
from their young men. The St Ig
natius Mission Schools, also on the
reservation, were visited by the com
mission. Tho schools are well con
ducted by Sisters of Charity and
priests. About hfty Indian girls
and about the same number of boys
are being educated, and they show
remarkable proficiency in the differ
ent classes. Senator Vest speaks
hisrhlv of teachers and pupils. The
council at St Mary's Mission yester
day was rather dramatic Charlos, a
Flathead chief, with a few hundred
Indians, has steadily refused to go
upon a reservation. The Indians
cultivate a few ranches, but are stead
ily growing poorer, and the valley
is thickly settled by whites. The
reservation Indians and the whites
want these Indians removed to a
reservation to avoid anticipated
trouble. In the council Senator
Vest and Delegate Maginuis sat op
posite the chiefs. Through an in
terpreter Senator Vest explained his
mission. Charlos, who is a noted
brave, gazed defiantly at the Sena
tor for a moment and then began
his reply. He said: "We are poor
and weak ; you want to place your
foot upon our neck and grind our
face in the dust, liut l win not go.
I will not iro to the plains." "Nez
Perces Joseph tried to go to the
plains." broke in Senator Vest
"There are no plains now. The
white men are as thick a3 leaves
from ocean to ocean. If you do not
get a title to your land here, like
white men, soldiers will come Borne
dav and place vou upon a reserva.
tion." "My hands and those of my
people are free from the white man's
blond." said Charlos. "When the
Nez Perces came here we protected
the whites. Why does the white
man take his heart from us now."
Then he took off his hat, threw it
upon the Moor, stamped upon it, and
with blazing eyes, gazing upon &ena
tor Vest, he shouted: "lou may
take Charlos to a reservation, but
there will be no breath in his nos
trils. Charlos will be dead. He will
never eo there alive." Senator Vest
answered the tawney chieftain in
language as emphatic as his own
that he must obey the white man's
laws as explicitly as did the white
man ; if he did not he must go where
the Government cnoose to sena mm
Before the council broke up Charlos
agreed to co to Washington with
agent Roman and talk the matter
over with the Great Father. The
commission leave to-night for Hel

to Fort Assiniboine to meet the
northern tribe9.

Shocking Death of a Painter.
Cincinnati, Sept 11 The first
accident in the history of inclined
planes here, which daily lift tens of
thousands of passengers to the hill

Haj.eton, September 13. The
dead lody of an unknown man, per
haps thirty years of age, was discov-

i leih this afternoon, with a bullet
wound in the head. A revolver,
with two chambers empty, lay upon
his breast His clothing indicates
that he was not in destitute circum
stances, and as no one has thus far
recognized the body, nothing is
known of his identity. Upon his per
son a paper was found containing
some German writing. Thecircum-
stances indicate suicide.

Stormy
Falling from High in Air.
Pittsburg, Sept 13. Professor
Harry Warner, the aeronaut, who is
under engagement to give balloon
:isceusions at the Exposition grounds,
had u terrible and thrilling expe
rience in mid-air to-day, part of
which was witnessed by at least ten
thousand people. The . Exposition
w as attended by an unusual crowd,
and the big grandstand was black
with spectators when tLe hour for
the ascent arrived. Some difficulty
was experienced in getting the gas
bag inflated. The Professor's inten
tion was to take a passenger with
him on his trip, but it became ap
parent that only one could go up.
and in a few minutes the Professor
gave the word, and, dangling from
the trapeze bar suspended below the
basket attached to the neting, he
swung off' into the air. The crowd
cheered and the band played, while
the athltte went through a series of
evolutions on the bar, floating high
er and higher.
Finally a heavy gray cloud sus
pended over the city hid him from
view as the air-ship entered it and
disappeared. The crowd filed -off
the grounds and stand. W hen they
were recalled by cries of "He's com
ing down !" "Look, look !" up in the
air, almost over the heads pi the
horrified thousands, they saw the
balloon careening from side to side,
6aying and apparently turning
over and over. 1 lie trapeze bar was
empty and the aeronaut could not
be seen. The gas bag looked like
an umbrella covered with netting.
It fell with terrible rapidity until
when within a few hundred feet of
the earth its descent became less
precipitous. It landed on a frame
dwelling house on Robinson street
and tumbling into the back 3-ard.
Professor Warner dropped out of
the folds of the balloon, and strik
ing against a feDce was stunned for
a moment, but springing to his feet
called to a man, who rushed to his
assistence to hit him on the back.
He did so, and then the aeronaut
stumbled into the house and fell
down. Medical aid was summoned
and an examination made. Noth
ing but a few bruises marked the
damage an the outside, buthe had
inhaled 60 much gass that he was
insensible for some time. To-night
he was resting easier, and when a
reporter called on him he was able
to tell the story of his terrible ex
perience. "1 had the balloon innated under,
my personal supervision." he 6aid,
"and considered her all right When
the men let go I shot right up into
the air. handnu to the trapeze bar
and inakinS my usual revolutions
I went un very rapidly and in a
short time the Exposition grounds
were hidden by a heavy cloud. I
continued to exercise, for it was quite
chilly, until I was about a mile and
a quarter above the earth. I paused
to rest a minute, when i heard a
faint sound overhead and looking up
saw a white smoke pouring out of
the iras-ban. I knew what was
wrong in an instant and got up into
the basket as quick as I could and
then clirned into the netting. I
never thought about the safety valve,
but began to throw the sand-bags at
tached to the netting overboard as
rapidiy as possible to lighten the
tall. 1 knew what was coming.
There was a second of suspense and
then I began to shoot down like a
piece of lead, while the balloon
swaved tenibly. I hung on with
feet and hands to the netting, or I
should have been thrown off. All
at once the envelop collapsed or
turned over and I was thrown right
into the centre, the envelope form
ing a parachute. I was nearly suf
focated with the gas. while the bal
loon was pitching and rolling terri
bly. 1 don't know how long I was
in coming down. I remember of
seeing the city below me, and then I
felt a shock and tell into somebody b
yard. A man rushed up and I told
him to pound me on the back to get
the gas out of my lungs, i was
stunned by the fall. I guess I am
an riiUii now.

Bkookvillk, I lit., Septemeber
14. For several weeks past a couple
of Mormon elders have been prowl
inil around i' different parts of this
county preaching their creed when
ever Uity could secure the use of a
church or schoolhouse. They spent
considerable time in the neighbor
hood of Laurel and were given accom
modations by Mr. D Y. Adams,one
of the best citizens of that neighbor
hood. They left there for oilier
fields, and on Monday last an eight-
teen year old daughter oi Mr. Aifauis
disappeared from home.
beared was instituted and she was
ftiund concealed in a house at Cedar
irove, where the elders are stopping.
She had been enticed away from her
home bv one of the elders, and was
a candidate from Utah. She, how
ever returned home with hr father.
Indignation ran high. The elders
last "ight were stopping at the res
idence of Mr. Ellison, a couple of
miles from Laurel, and dui ing the
night the' were called on by about
2UU of the best citizens of that neigh
borhood. They were forced to un
dress and were then given a good
coating of tar and feathers and given
ten hours to get out of the country.

A Thrilling Experience.
Bradford, September 13. Wm.
Batterson, a Buffalo man, who had
business interests in the McKean
county oil regions, tells the story of
a most extraordinary adventure
which he and his wife and two chil
dren had in the Kinzua wilderness a
few nights ago, the entire family be-
ini: saved ironi a most horrible
j death through the merest accident
The nartv left Bradford in the even-
ing 10 unve 10 an isoiaieu eeiue
ment known as Howard Hill. Mr.
Batterson lost his way and his horse
wandering at random through the
woods, happened to strike the track
of the Jacksonburg Extension of the
Erie Railroad. Feeling that neither
his wife nor children could stand a
night of exposure in the mountains,
he resolved to drive along the rail
road track, in the hope of coming to
some road crossing track or some
station near by. After about a hun
dred yards they came to a bridge, on
one side of which was a narrow
plank walk, the railroad track occu
pying the remainder of the bridge.
This was the great Kinzua Viaduct
which spans a ravine at the bottom
of which flows the Rinzua creek.
The bridge is the highest railroad
bridge in the world, being 300 feet
above the creek, and ia nearly half a
mile long. lie determined to cross,
and started the horse on the foot
path, the wheels running roughly
over the timbers. A gust of wind
blew out the lantern which he car
ried and he could not relight it He
succeeded in getting over in safety
and entered a deep, narrow cut,
and wrapt in still greater darkness.
That they were not ground to pieces
in that way was owing only to the
fact that a coal train which was due
at the cut at the very time was de
tained a mile below by a hot journ
al. The party emerged from the cut
and discovered the light at Palen's
switch. The horse and carriage
were turned from the track into the
road leading alongside of it to the
station, and Mrs. Batterson and her
children had reached a place of safe
ty just as the train rushed by and
thundered into the cut. Mrs. Bat
terson fainted as soon as she realized
the danger she had so fortunately
escaped.
ltioting at Canton.
London, September li. Additional
details from Hong Kong of the out-
beak at Canton on Monday, says
that the riot began at S o'clock in
the morning. As previously Etated
the trouble was caused by a quarrel
between some Chinese aud a Portu
gues watchman on the quay. . Dur
ing the latter part of the riot some of
the merchants armed themselves to
defend their property. The party
consisted of nine Germans and three
Englishmen. They fired into the
mob, killing five" Chinamen and
wounding many more. The arrival
of Chinese troops finally checked the
mob.
There are now two British, one
French and five Chinese gunboats
moored in the river abreast the for
eign settlement The Chinese have
placards on the walls of the city ap
plauding the action of the popula
ace and calling upon them to kill the
Europeans at the next opportunity
which presents itself. The different
consuls at Canton admit that the sit
uation is very serious, and that the
future of the European colony is
gloomy in the extreme. There is
almost open war between the native
and foreign elements, aud it will be
necetssary to have men of war in the
harbor for a longtime to comes as a
measure of protection.
The houses burned by the mob
included ten English, one American
two German and one French. The
consuls have forwarded to the Vice
roy an indentical note, holding him
answerable for the destruction of the
properties, becaus hefailed to promp
tly snd troops when advised of the
disorder, three Chinamen, who
were caught in the act ef plundering
property, and the Portuguese, who
were the immediate cause of the
outbreak, are now imprisoned at the !
British consulate.
A Halx- in the WoihIh.
Quite an exciting time was hail in
the neighborhood of Smicksburg,
Indiana county on Sunday night,
occasioned by a four year old ton of
Mr, Jesse Williamson getting lost in
the Woods. Sunday afternoon Mr.
Williamson started for the woods and
the boy followed and the father sent
him home, and thought he had gone
but upon his return found that he
had continutdjon through the woods.
The alarm was given and the neigh
bors set to work hunting for the
lost child but on Monday morning
he was still missing. Word was then
sent to Smicksburg for help and 100
willing hands set forth and in a
few fiours found the child about two
miles from his home almost frozen,
having wandered about all night.
Found Dead.
Ashland, Ph., September 11.
William Runyan, a farmer, and and
hi.- wife were found dead in bed to
day at their residences, at Millville,
Columbia county, with their throats
cut from ear to ear. They had ap
parently been dead alout a week.
Some of the neishbors believe that
Runyan killed bis wife and then
committed euictde, while others are
of opinion that the couple were mur
dered by a party of tramps. A knife
was found in the bed. There were
no signs of a struggle having taken
place. Thecouple had lived happily
together. Run van was 2 years of
age, and his wife 20.
A Horrible Crime.
GiiKK.NsnciW!, September 12. A
horrible murder was perpetrated tj
day two mile," from this town. An
Italian railroad laborer, Joseph Pin
ne, was discovered in a potato patch
in the actof etealing potatoes. Four
unknown men came upon him. put
ting a ball through his head and
several olhers into his body, killing
him. After this they carried the
body in an unconscious state to the
railroad track near by, and placed it
across the rail, so as to make it ap
pear as though the man had been
ruu over by the cars. In this posi
tion the body was found by an
unknown map.
Fifty Mule Burned.
Lexington, Ky., September 12.
A tire broke out this morning in a
stable of the Lexington Street Car
Company. Fifty mules, fourteen
cars and the entire lot of harues
and stock of feed and the new sta
bles were totally destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $40,000, well in
sured. Three cottages and stabless
adjoining were also destroyed ; value
$1000, insured for $750. The fire
was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendiary, as no fire was permitted
about the stables. The stables are
within 100 yards of the race track
stables, which were unharmed.
Death ta the Dark.
Denver. Col . Sept 12 The de
tails of a bloody affray, which oc
curred at the McLain lancn, m
Elbert County, on Sunday night, in
which eight cowboys were engaged,
have just reached hero. Sunday be
ing a day off, they all went to Agate
Station, on the Kansas racinc hoau,
and opened the festivities with sev
eral drinks. Thence they rode to a
neighboring ranch, where they ob
tained a supply of liquor and started
for home. On the way two of their
number, named Ross iter and Mc
Keever, engaged in an angry dispute
on a trivial matter, and all repaired
to the herders' quarters to settle the
difficulty. As soon as they were in
side the men clinched and both fell
to the ground, fighting desperately,
their companions urging them on.
The tables and benches were re
moved, and in an improvised ring
the men beat and tore at each other
with the ferocity of tigers. The on
lookers, in their excitement, madly
howled and danced about, brandish
ing their revolvers and encouraging
their favorite in the fight While
the orgie was at the highest, the oil
lamp was knocked from its place,
The men, now completely mad, ran j
upon each other, and in a minute
after the light had been extinguish
ed the melee was general. The door
was locked, and, there being no
means of egress, each man fought
for himself Amid the resounding
blows and curses a pistol shot rang
out, and the death cry of the victim
paralyzed whatever of reason was
left in the party. Almost before
the cry had left the lips of the
unfortunate man there was a wild
fusilade, and. for a moment by fit
ful flashes, the gloom was lighted.
Rossiter was dead, two men named
Jones were weltering in their blood
and three others were wounded, one
at least fatally. Rollins and Mc
Keever, the only ones not injured,
fled, and have not yet been appre
hended.
A Bloody Quarrel.
Galveston, September 12. At
Trinity, yesterday, Major H. B,
Hurlock a mill owner, and his son,
W. II. Hurlock aged 22 years, was
shot by one of their employees named
Roseman, 23 years ol age. W.H
Hurlock is now dead and his fathers
wounds are pronounced mortal
The shooting occurred at a house
near Hurlock's mill. A young son
of Major Hurlock had been aunoying
Roseman, who in endeavoring to
make him desist, accidentally injured
the child's foot, whereupon the Ma
jor showered abuse and blows upon
lloseman. The latter declining to
resent this treatment the Major call
ed to him to come out and
whip him. The son's blows quickly
put Roseman on the ground, when
the latter drew a revolver and shot
his adversary though the head and
heart. The Major then reached for
his pistol when Roseman shot him
also. The murderer then coolly
went upstairs, procured another
revolver and barricaded himself.
The mill employees had by this
time gathered on the premises. The
lady of the house entreating Rose
man to leave, he complied, remark
ing, "I will for you; you are a wo
man." When Roseman left the house
the men opened fire upon him and
after filling him with goose-shot, se
cured him. After Roseman's capture
Major Hurlock, despite his wounds
beat him until the bystanders inter
fered. Causes Her Death.
Chicago, September 13. In the
county court to-day another chapter
was recorded in a sad story of dom
estic source. It seems that several
weeks sinte Miss Paula Heil, an ac
complished young lady, arrived from
Saxony, with her trosseau all pre
pared to wed Johann Schilling, a
well-todo young man to whom she
was betrothed a year ago in the
f.itherland. She found to hers jrow
that her lover had been faithle.-s and
transferred his affections to another.
Johann soon marrie.l ms new loye
and, the fullowiig ii.-v iV fiir but
heartbroken Paula made a will be
queathing to Julian n's wife her trous
seau and considerable property, at.d
sent a farewell letter to her old lover
embodying a fearful curse upon his
perfidy, and adding that she would
quit the world, she disappeared
and a week later her lifeless body was
found upon the lake shore she hav
ing rowed in a boat away out in the
lake and leaped into the water with
a stone tied to her neck. At the
morgue Johann indentified the body
but appeared next day and mildly
stated he was mistaken as he had
seen Paula in the park. He became
more and more excited and claimed
the dead girl followed his footsteps
day and night repeating her terrible
curse. Overwhelmed with remorse
the poor man became distracted and
to-day was sent to the asylum undei
a strong guard, a raving maniac.

From Bath, Me., we hare receire-J, and er date
of May l i, 1SS3, the following statement of Oeo.
W, Harrison, the popular pruprietorof "The Res
taurant" : "A few yean since I was troubled so
severely with kidney and bladder aUection that
there waa brick-dust deposit In my urine, and
continual desire to urinate, with severe, darting,
sharp pains through my bladder and side, and
again dull, heavy pressure, very tedious to en
dure. I consulted one of our resident physiclans(
but I received no benefit from the treatment, and
fearing that my symptoms Indicate Bright'
Disease, the most dreadlul of all diseases, I made
up my mind that I unit obtain relief speedily or
1 would be past cure. I consulted my druggist,
He. Webber, and alter ascertaining my symptoms
he recommended the oe of Hunt's Remedy, as
he knew of many Sucuetisiul cures effected by that
medicine In similar cases here In Rath. I pur
chased a bottle and before I had used all of it I
found I hid received great benefit, as 1 sutlered
less pain, my water became more natural, and I
began to improve so much that the second bottle
eQeeted a complete cure, and my thanks are due
to Hant s Remedy for restored health, and 1
cheerlully recooiumend this most valuable and
reliable medicine to my InenJs, as I consider it a
duty as well as a pleasure to do so. "
" Being well acquainted with Mr. George W.
Harrison at the time of his sickness, referred to
in the loregoiDg testimonial, I can testify to the
correctness of the statement made by bitn."
