in the f-Tc iront of the column wa

the leading journal of the county.
Now is the time to subscribe only
Fifty Cents from now until the
c!o?e of the campaign.
The news from Louisiana indi
cates that the State will cast its elec
toral vote for Iilaineand Logan.
Tnr; Louisville Courier-Journal
thinks "a Prohibition candidate
should Ue a uiau who can carry wa
ter on both shoulders."
Solon Chase, the old Greenback
leader in Maine, announces himself
in favor of FI;r!ne. 'Them steers"'
have pot tired pulling against the
Republican team.
Mr. IIu.sscll Sage, who lost the tri
file of four million dollars during the
late financial flurry in New York, is
smilingly hammering away at his
old business in "puts and calls."
The Democrat have dropped the
story that Blaine was a Roman
Catholic, and now are swearing that
he was a Know Nothing. You pays
your money and you takes your
choice.
In Iowa City they 6how their ob
jection to a distasteful law by tarring
the lawyer employed to advocate its
enforcement. This method will,
however, hardly lead to the repeal
of the law.
The bitterest and fiercest politi
cians of this campaign, and those
who have the most eager longing for
the bolters scalps, are those who
were bolters in former years, but are
"regular" this year.
'Down South" they are regulat
ing religion as well as politics, with
the shot-gun. In Tennessee, on
Sunday of la.t week, a body of
raa?ked men attacked a Mormon
meeting that was in progress, and
phot down four persons in cold
Wood.
Blaine's campaign is booming in
Maine. The opposition to him in
his own State is very feeble, and it
only appears to be a question f
what his majority will be. Instead
of failing, as reported by the Demo
cratic press, his strength is daily in
creasing. The Democratic press dare not
deny Cleveland's libertinism, but it
is attempting to apologize for it on
the ground taut it is not ho bad as
was first asserted; which reminds us
of the girl that plead in extenuation
of her offense, that "it was euch a
little one."
They have a good, tough, long
winded, spunky set of Democratic
conferees in the Second Congression
al district of Maryland. They hae
had several meetings, ppent three en
tire days in balloting. Lave taken
1,099 ballots, and are no nearer a
nomination than when they started
in.
i?r. John, the Prohibition candi
date for Prudent, made a speech at
a camp-moeting near ' Rochester,
New York, in which he denounced
both the oH parties as equally bad.
The Republican party was good
enough for St John so long as ititratedin New York and Indiana
kept him in office, but when he fail
d of an election he suddenly dis
covered that it was "no good" any
longer, and t.ow aims to cripple it
by running as a third party candidate.
Delaware County Republican Con
vention, on Thursday last. This
will make the third consecutiye
term in the Senate for Mr. Cooper,
and proves the high appreciation of
his services by the people who know
him best
And now the news comes through
Democratic journals that the dread
ful "Steve" Elkins has begun to col
onize Ohio with negroes. All of
which means that the Democrats
have abandoned the hope of carry
ing that State and are manufactur
ing reasons to account for their de-
fltaL
The "American Political Alli
ance" having nominated General
Grant for President, and informed
him of the fact by letter, he said in
reply to an inquiring friend, "I have
not answered the letter and do not
intend to answer it I am a Repub
lican, and I hav no interest in the
Alliance or its action."
Blaine has gone a gunning for the
defamer of his family honor, and ev
ery decent man in the country will
applaud his course. The cowardly j
scoundrel who attempted to wound j
him by assaulting the character of
his wife, will find that he has stirred
up an ugly customer, and the public
will be gratified to 6ee the villain
hunted down.
Up to the breaking out of the re
bellion Logan and Iltndrioks were
both Democrats of the strictest sect ;
but when that event occurred Logan
showed that he was a patriot, and
forgetting party marched bravely
to the help of his imperilled country.
Hendricks on the other hand sym
pathized with the men who did their
utmost to destroy the government,
and remained through the war a
viruent copperhead. The patriotic
voter will find no difficulty in mak
ing his selection.
One of the funniest things of the
campaign is the preparation of his
letter of acceptance by Cleveland,
the announcement that it would be
published on a certain day, and
then its sudden disappearance into
the wilds of the Adirondacks in the
pocket of its author. Meanwhile the
Democratic editors are pining and
sighing for a sight of it, and Bold
Ben Butler is stamping around dar
ing the Democratic candidate to
come out like a man.
General Ix;an is travelling in
the interior of the State ot New
York, and is received by enthusias
tic thousands wherever he goes.
Crowds meet at every station the
trains on which he journeys with a
party of friends, and welcome him
with cheers, the music of bands aud
the roar of cannon. The General
and Mrs. Logan, with Senator and
Mrs. Miller and others, are on their
way to the Thousand Islands, for a
week's recreation.
The Democrats of West Virginia
are preparing to intimidate the col
ored voters in that State, and have
begun to cry fraud and corruption.
Congressman Gibson was prancing
around Washington last week, and
accused the Republicans of import
ing negro voters into the State, and
said "that the result of an attempt
to present them at the polls will be
to prevent a negro vote being cast,
and it mav lead to bloodshed."
Gibson is a very light weight
Bourbon, vicious enough to attempt
holding the State in the Democratic
ranks with the shot-gun. and fool
enough to blab about it in advance.
The State is likely to. go for Blaine
and Logan, and this blatherskite
thinks to prevent it by shrieking
fraud, and threatening murder. A
barking dog don't bite, and Gibson's
vawp is si id pi v an admission that
West Virginia is lost to the Demo
crats. The horrible story of cannibalism
said to haye been indulged in by the
survivors of the Greely expedition
should be received with many grains
of doubt, until the facts are estab
lished beyond controversy. Al
though the charge is made that the
body of one of the dead mariners
has been disinterred and found to
consist merely of bones from which
the flesh had been cut, yet in view
of the mauy contradictory state
ments made by those who ought to
know, it is well to suspend judg
ment until an official investigation
has been made. Lieutenant Greely
has made an official report of the
execution of private Henry, and has
asked for a court martial to investi
gate his action, and this court will
necessarily elicit all the facts.
Should the dreadful story prove
true, the survivors are to be pitied,!
not blamed, for sustaining life as
they did, in the horrible straits to
which thev were reduced.
Six States will hold elections be
fore the Presidential contest comes
off in November. The Arkansas
election occurs on the 1st of Septem
ber. Vermont holds hers on the
second; Maine follows on the Sth ;
Georgia holds hers on the 1st of Oc
tober, and Ohio and West Virginia
on the 14th. Arkansas and Georgia
are certain to go Democratic, W
mont and Maine Republican while
the Democrat allege that Ohio, and
the Republicans that West Virginia,
are doubtful States. The results La
Arkansas and Georgia will indicate
nothing, neither will those from Ver
mont and Maine, unless exception
ally large majorities are given.
Should Ohio go Republican and
West Virgiuia Democratic, the Pres-
idential fight will then be concen
but should the Democrats carry
Ohio aad lose West Virginia, the
tide will be in their favor ; while if
the Republicans carry both these
States it will be taken as a presage
of victory in November.
The Indianapolis Sentinel ou the
Sth inst contained an editorial
charging that Mr. Blaine had seduc
ed hi3 present wife in Kentucky and
then fled to Maine ; that she with
her father followed him, and there
at the point of a shot-gun he was
compelled to marry her. As soon as
this reached Mr. Blaine, he tele
graphed Col. Richard HoUoway, of
Indianapolis:
I have this moment received the atrocious
libel of the Indianapolis .Sentinel. It is utter
ly and abominably false i" every statement
and iu every implication. Political slanders
I do not stop to notice, but this editor as
sails the honor ol my wife and my children.
I desire you, without an hour's delay, to em
ploy the" proper attorney arid have the re
SM"iiNitilc publisher of the Smtind sued fur
libel in the United States District Court of
Indiana. It is my ouly remedy. I am sure
that honorable Democrats alike with honor
able Republicans will justify raein defend
ing the honor of my family, if need be with
my life.
Colonel Holloway at once placed
the matter in the hands of the law
firm of which Senator Harrison ia a
member, and a prosecution was com
menced, "Hunt the rascals down."
There is a great deal of loose talk
about throwing the election of Presi
dent into the House, and shus de
feating both Blaine "and Cleveland.
To get the election into the power of
the House, Blaine and Cleveland
must both fail to secure a majority
of the electors, and to prevent either
of them from doing this, Butler or
St John would have to carry at least
one State. The total electoral vote
is 401, the constitution requires a
majority to elect, and therefore the
successful candidate must secure not
less than 201 votes.
It is not probable that either But
ler or St. John can carry one of the
States, but should either of them
succeed in doinc so, and thus throw
the election into the House, what
chance would he have of securing a
majority of the yotes when it lis re
membered that the vote of each
State must be cast as a unit, each
State having but one vote and the
votes of a majority of the States be
ing necessary to a choice ? The talk
of either Butler or Cleveland having
a chance of election in the House is
rot.
The offence for which Henry was
shot was of the gravest nature under
the circumstances. The party was
stranded on an inhospitable coast,
hundreds of miles beyond human
habitations. Their supplies were
greatly diminished, and the party
was disappointed in its expectations
of finding cached supplies at certain
points. This required a most rigid
husbanding of such food as remain
ed. Every man was put upon an al
lowance which would enable the
party to prolong its search for sup
plies and sustain life, though at a
low ebb.
Under such stress any man who
robbed the larder struck a foul blow
at every other member of the party.
Private Henry was detected on sev
eral occasions, abstracting rations
from the stores. He was admonish
ed, but in vain, and at last he was
put under arrest and kept under
surveillance until the waning ener
gies of the party demanded the em
ployment of the strength of every
man. The first use this unfortunate
man made of his liberty was to re
turn to his habit of stealing food
from the common store. He was
caught in the act, and the party de
manded his execution. It was one
life against a dozen, and the dozen
were not willing to starve that the
one might be prolonged. Twice the
party unanimously demanded his
evecution, and twice Lieutenant
Greely interposed to save his life.
But at last it became necessary to
make an example of the man whose
selfishness was jeopardizing the
lives of the whole. He was led out
and shot.
Mr. Xtlaine Confident.
New York, August 12. Emmons
Blaine, the eldest son of the Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency,
entered the headquarters of the Na
tional Republican Conmittee, at No.
242 Fifth avenue, yesterday, bearing
a commission from his father to the
campaign managers. He was at
once conducted to the conference
room, where he remained in conver
sation with Chairman Jones, Secre
tary Fessenden and Mr. Stephen B.
Elkins. Whiie thus engaged, ex
Senator Chaffee, of Colorado, and
John C. New, the representative of
Indiana on the committee, arrived.
Thi9 was Mr. Chaffee's first appear

night, he having been absent in the

from Indiana. Mr. Blaine, after the
conference was over and he had d is
charged hia mission, received a re
porter, and in regard to the sensa
tional story that his father had be
come despondent, as published in a
Butler organ yesterday, said :
"Father was never in better health
or spirits in his life than he was
when I left him, and he is thorough
ly confident of success too."
A Mob liiaacn xown.
Iowa Citk, August J3. The city
is in great excitement to-night. The
streets are crowded with peopl and
fears of violence pervade all good
citizens. This afternoon at the trial
of two brewers of the citv before a
justice of the peace in a country
township near by, a mob of two
hundred attacked a prosecuting law
yer named W. H. Baile, stripped his
clothing off and tarred him. His
life was narrowly saved by a deputy
sheriff. The mob, many of them
crazed by drink, tried to catch the
principal witness named Swafford,
and would have hanged him had
they found him. A constaple was
severely cut with knives. The roughs
came to town this eyeing and for
an hour bad possession of ,th,e streets,

A C&krt Awfat Slory.
Roches TEn, August 14. The re
mains of Lieutenant Kiflingbury,
one of the victims of the Greely ex
pedition who died amid Arctic snow
last June, were disinterred this mor
ning, and the fact was established
beyond all question that cannibal
ism was restored to by the starving
men of the Greely expedition, and
that the lives of those saved were
preserved only by eating the dead
bodies of their companions. Liu
tenat Kislingbury's relative there
were filled with horrible doubts as
soon as they learned that disclos
ures had been made in New York
regnrdmg cannibalism -among the!
members of the' expedition, and
they determined to learn the truth
by exhuming the remains and hav
ing them examined by competent
Jhvsicians. The service of L. A.
effreys, undertaker, were secured,
and this morning, with the assistance
of five men, he accomplished the
work of taking up the casket from
its resting place. This was done in
the presence of Asfistant Superin
tendent Mandeyille, and the remains
were taken, as unearthed, to a chap
el near the entrance of the ceme
tery. the casket opened.
At eight o'clock the casket was
opened by Mr. Jeffreys and Samuel
R. Carter in the presence of Frank
W. Kislingbury and John P. Kis
lingury brothers of the deceased ;
Dr. Charles Buckley, Dr. F. A. Mand
eville, Superintendent Stillson, As
sistant Superintendent Mandenville
and two reporters.
Dr. Buckley, who had put on a
pair of black leather gloves, uncov
ered the lower portion of the coffins
tenant and then it appeared as if
one of the legs the right one was
missing; but when the waste was
all removed it became apparent tkat
the limb was tied under the left
one.
THIS REMAINS EXAMINED.
The casket was next placed upon
the floor and the enshrouded form
taken from it and placed upon a
table. On the bottom of the now
empty receptacle were noticed two
large spots of blood, but they were
pronounced a common occurrence
at burials. The hands of the under
taker and physician now began to
cut the stitches and unwind the
white sheeting which formed the
first covering. The sheet was taken
awav.the tarred rope entwining the
blanket cut and the work of taking
off this last covering began.
Slowly the blanket was removed,
The blackened, fieshles face, show
ing marks of the
9 Arctic soil, bore
to the dead wan-
no semblance
The skull. The sightless sockets
and the half-opened mouth gave the
dead man a look of mute appealing
agony. The remain were com nlete
ly indenlified as those of Lieutenant
Kislingbury.
The physicians made a thorough
examination and the remains were
then placed back into the casket
and again lowered to the grave.
THE IXESH NEARLY ALL tiONE,
Afterwards Doctors Charles Buck
ley and F. A. Mandeville mad-? a
joint affidavit, in which they re
counted the facts of the exhuma
tion and examination of the remains
and said that the, body, in their
opinion, weighed about fifty pounds.
On examination of the head no signs
of wounds or injuries were visible.
The skin was not broken. The ears
and nose were intact. The eyes
were sunken and wasted. The hair
was thick and from five to six inch
es long. The skin and muscles of
the interior portion of the face and
neck were intact. From the upper
portion of the sternum and clavi
cle to the lower border of the fifth
rib on the left side the tkin and
muscles had all been removed down
to the ribs on the right tide. The
6kin and muscles down to the lower
border of the last rib were gone.
There were two openings between
the fourth and fifth in tei costal spa
ces into the thoracic cavity. The
muscles and skin of the anterior and
posterior of the thighs were entirely
removed except the skin on the an
terior portion of the knee joints ;
muscles and skin of left leg removed
to within three inches of ankle joint
On right leg skin and muscles re
moved to within five inches of
ankle joint Both . feet were
intact. There was no vestige
integument or muscles on either arm
including the muscles of the shoul-
derblades to the wrist joints, except
on the right forearm, the interosseus
membrane remaining. 1 he exami
nation of the posterior portion of
body showed that the skin and
muscles of the bacfc, from the sev
enth cervical vertebra, had been dis
sected or cut completely away down
to the bones, with the exception of
pieces of skin from two to three inch
es square on each side of the upper
portion of the sacrum, lne llesa
removed was cut away with some
sharp instrument. That remaining
on the feet, hands and face showed
no 6igns of decomposition.
A Tricky Thief.

breaking into the post office at Roch
ester, Pa., on Monday morning. He
was arrested and confined at Beaver
to await removal to the Allegheny
county jail. Information was made
against him and a warrant was plac
ed in the hands of Deputy Marshal
i...n u-.iu .rk
Campbell, lie went down to Beaver
Monday afternoon, but did not reach
the city until nearly 12 o'clock at
night He concluded to keep the
prisoner in Marshal Rutan's office
until morning, and made deliberate
pieparations to prevent him liom
escaping. He handcuffed himself
securely to Fitch, locked the door of
the office, and the two sat down to
while away the hours intervening
between midnight and daybreak as
best they could.
Finally Campbell concluded to
take a short nap, and when he
awoke, which was about three o'clock
yesterday morning, he found that
the prisoner had mysteriously dis
appeared. The handcuffs were still
dangling from the deputy marshal's
wrist but the other end did not en
case the wrist of the prisoner.
The office door had been ppencd. 1
evidently with the key, which, al
though if had been secreted the
night before, was resting quietly in
the Jock. The prisoner was not sat
isfied with securing his liberty, but
he took the deputy marshal's poek
etbook, the warrant which bad been
issued for bis arrest and also a gold
watch and chain, which had Attract
ed his attention during the time he
remained a prisoner. As soon as the :
disappearance was discovered thejtheRey. H. M. Collison, pastor of
police were notified of the escape.
Thus far the fc litive has not been
captured.
THE MCKDERED MORMOXS.
Details of Th Tenne Tragedy.
Nashville, August 14. A dis
patch from Centreville corroborates
the report of the murder of Mor
mons in Lewis county by masked
men last Sunday morning. The raid
ing party numbered about fort-.
Thirteen attacked the house of Mar
tin Condor, where a Mormon meet-
mg was in progress, r orcing open
the door they were encountered by
Condor, armed with a gun. In au
effort to disarm hiai one of the raid-
era was was struck with the gun, un-
masking him, but he drew his pis-
tol and shot Condor in the bowels.
Condor was shot again by one of the
party witli buckshot and instantly
killed. At the same time another
attacking party tired upon a Mor
mon elder named Gibbs, who was
partly hidden behind the wife of old
man Condor, killing Gibbs and se
verely wounding Mrs. Condor in the
thigh. The party then fired again
at a Mormon elder named Berry,
who was hiding behind a bed, kil
ling him instantly. Another Mcr
mon elder in the house, who ran
out by the back door, was pursued
by an attacking party etatioried out
side. They fired on him as he ran,
but it is not known whether or not
he was killed.
After killing Berry the masked
men started out of the house, and
just as they got out J. 11. II udson
tired and killed David Unison, one of
the u.asked men. One of the Ilinaon
party stood over the body and fired
two loads of buckshot at Hudson,
literally riddling him. The Mormons
in fear of another attack,
did not make a search uti-
i til Monday, when they found toe
Mormon that ran away from Con
dor's dead. It is rumored that the
other missing elder has been found
dead.
HOW THE HOSTILITY UKKW.
About four years ago a company
of Mormon missionaries srttled in
the vicinity of Centreville and began
to earnestly dissemminate the doc
trines of this sect. The eiders saw that
the intelligence of the community
and the extreme decorousness of the
quiet natures Uy whom they were
surrounded forbade the attempt
to establish the prime feature of
their faith and the grafting of poly
gamy upon the enlightened institu
tions of the counties of Hickman
and Lewis,whiuh adjoined,nd they
contented themselves with the un
obtrusive dissemination of other ar
ticles of their creed. They gradu
ally crystahzed around two points
jhady Grove.in Hickman countv jf
and ftne creek, in Lewis. Thtsei1."
points were made the bu.se of opera
liuiis, and here were held their meet
ingo, and thence were sent to other
sections and other States the apos
tles of their creed. The presence of
the sect was the source of no little
annoyance to the citizens, who were
educated with the idea that marriage
was most sacred and abhorred the
existence among them of those who
though they did not openly attempt

which involved the obnoxious prac-
tict; of polygamy. This aversion to
the new sect, while deep, yet gave
no potent expression of its existence
until the terrible deeds last Sunday, i
which shocked the counties from ce li
tre to cirenmference. The Mor
mons did not allow the year to pass
by unfruitful of results, for they grad
ually gathered to their belief suffi
cient strength to render places of
worship necessary, and at Shady

None of their names are positiyely
known save that of Dtve Hinson,
who was killed. He was a farmer
of dangerous character, who had
been a noted guerrilla in the late
war. His body was carried home
and buried by neighbors, but the
whereabouts of those united with
him in the terrible deeds of that

Washington, Aug. 14. The fol
lowing is Lieutenant Greely's report
of the excution of Private Henry at
Camp Clay. near Cape Sabine:
Portsmouth, N. H., August 11.
1SS4- Adjutant General, United
States armv. (through Chief Signal
Officer. United States army) Sir: I
have the nonor to repon mat on
June G.1SS4. at Camp Clay, near
Cape Sabine, Gnnnell Land, it be
came necessary for me to order the
military execution of Private Chas.
B. Henry, Fifth Cavalry, for contin
ued thieving. The order was given
in writing, on my
sibility, being
essential for the
ing members of
Ten had alread
and two more lay at the point of
death. The facts inducing my ac
tion were as follows :
Provisions had been stolen in
November, lSS-, and Henry's com-
phcity therein was more than sus
pected. March 24, 1884, the party
nearly perished from asphyxia.
While several men were unconscious
and efforts were being made for their
restoration, Private Henry stole
about two pounds of bacon from the
mess stores. He was not only seen
by Eskimo Jens Edwards, but his
Btouiach being overloaded, he threw
up the undigested bacon. An open
investigation was held, and every
member of the party declared him
guilty of this and other thefts. A
clamor for his life was raised but was
repressed by me. I put him under
surveillance until our waning
strength rendered his physical ser
vices indispensable. Later he was
found one day intoxicated, having
stolen the liquor on hand for general
issue, a second time his lite was
demanded, but I agiin spared him.
On June 5, thefts of provision on his
part having been reported to me, I
had a conversation with him, ia
which I appealed to his practical
sense, pointing out that union urn
necessary to our preservation. He
promised entire reformation ; but,
distrusting him, I issued a .written
order that he should be shot if de
tected stealing. On June he not
only stole part of the shrimps for
our breakfast, but visiting unauthori
zed our winter camp, stole certain
sealskin reserved lor food. I then
ordered him shot. On his person
was found a silver chronograph
abandoned by me at Fort Conger
and stolen by him. in his bag was
found a laro quantity of seal skin
and a pair of seal skin boots stolen
a few days before from the hunter.
Suspecting complicity on the part of
several. I ordered his rxcution by
iree of the most reliable men.
Alter his death the order kha read
to the entire party, and w as concur
red in by every member as being
not only just, but as essential to our
salety. 'lo avoid public scandal I
ordered that no man should speak
of this matter until an cflicial report
was made of the facts. 1 have the
honor to request that a court of in-
uejru'. . court-marua.

secretary of War deem either advis-

have not asked since our rescue,
July 22d, whether opinions concur

not, leaving such questions to your

My Friends : I came here to-day
not to speak, but to hear. I have
been too long accustomed to attend
every political gathering in Kenne

ter,) and so 1 came from old habit
just to see if they were held as well
as tney were in me om days, when
I so often imposed upon you for
your suffrages, an exaction which I
can say with candor I never had any
expectation of again laying upon
you. But I am once more before the
people of Maine, a people whom I
never trusted in vain." (A voice,
"good," and applause.) "I am de
taining you by this simple word
from the enjoyment of hearing a
great orator from the west I am aa
anxious for the treat as you, so
yield the platform."
