BOWMAN", of Somerset Twp JOSEPH W. MEYERS, of Mil ford Twp. Senator Tli mb, of Kansas, says that all report that the Democrats can carry that State are absurd, and predicts that Blaine will have GO.OX) majority. Mr. Blaine contracted a violent cold last week and was confined to Lis bed for a day. This was magni fied into a serious illness by imagin ative reporters. The death of Hon. John Leisen ring, of Carbon county, causes a va cancy on the Republican electoral ticket of this State which will have to be filled by the State Committee. Hendricks writes a letter to say that Cleveland ought not to with draw, and says he thinks the statute of limitations has been succeesfully pleaded against the "scandal" of his early life. Vermont vetes to-day (Tuesday,) and Maine on Monday next. Both States will go Republican. The size of their majorities will be taken as buoys marking the swell or ebb of the current setting towards Mr. Blaine. Elsewhere in this issue we pub lish an editorial article from the Pittsburg Christian Advocate, and another from the Independent, which will be interesting reading to all those whose moral sensibilities are not subordinated to their political sentiments. Jeff Davis, in a letter addressed to the Confederate soldiers who last week held a reunion in Monroe county, Georgia, calls the pension ing of Union soldiers "offensive fa voritism." The old traitor thinks that men who fought against their country are as much entitled to pen sions as those who fought for it. A State Convention of the Na tional Greenback Labor party has been called to assemble at Bellefonte on the ISth of September. Inde pendents and all other kickers, are invited to join in forming a people's party, and placing an electoral tick et in the field, that if elected, will support General Butler for Presi dent. . Thursday next September 4th is the last day under the law that voters can be registered. Every man that wants to vote for Blaine and Logan should see to it that he is properly registered. It is the duty of all committee men to examine the lists, and see that all Republican voters of their respective precincts are registered. We are having the usual campaign talk about probable Republican vic tories in Southern States. While this is very desirable, it should not di vert attention from States nearer to home. Our best efforts should be put forth in New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana. Here is certain success, and consequent assured victory in the end, if the proper et- lort is made. Don't throw away a certainty for an uncertainty. This is the last week of the cam paign in Maine, and both sides are making it hum. The Republicans will hold four hundred meetings in different portions of the State, and the Democrats have also arranged for a large number. It is reported Also, that the Democracy are lavish ly supplied with money, and alto gether, thjre will be a lively week of it Tlje election on Monday next will undoubtedly result in a targe Iiepublicfvn majority. TtE mining troubles in Hocking aiiej, Omo, have culminated in xiot aud bloodshed, and the Gov.- rnor has teen compelled to Bend ersops to several places to assist the -skenffj in suppressing the riots an protecting the non-striking miners. Several persona have been killed and all speedy communication pre vented by cutting the telegraph wires. At latest accounts Governor Hoadly had started for the scene ol action. Focr years since, the Democratic fusion ticket carried the State of Maine. The Democrats are now howling that, if Blaine does not car ry it next week by at least fifteen thousand, the State will be doubtful in November. The same species of reasoning would make all other Northern States doubtful. There is no doubt of the result in Maine, and the Republican majority will be quite sufficient to knock Democratic brag and bluster into a cocked hat Gen. Butler visited the Grangers picnic in Cumberland Valley, on Friday last, and made a speech to the Pennsylvania farmers there as sembled, whom he advised to drop both the old parties, and form and vote for a party of their own. The General either forgot, or didn t know that a large portion of his au dience are still voting for Jackson, and will die in the faith that the old hero still leads their forces. A new party forsooth ! for such men a3 these ? We are shocked at the Gen eral's lack of perspicacity. The Democratic Congressional campaign committee at Vashington has just discovered a mistake that is causing no little amusement. By some error in delivery, they have been receiving from the folding room and mailing to their constituents, laree quantities of tariff and other Republican documents, which the Republican committee had ordered for distribution. The old moss-back?, who have re ceived sound Repnblican documents under the franks of their Democrat ic members, will think that the en tire party is bolting into the Blaice and Logan ranks. The Farmers' Picnic which was held at William's Grove, Cumber land county, last week, was more successful than any of the previous ones. It is estimated that 70,000 persons were in attendance during th3 week, and the sales of machinery and agricultural implements ex ceeded $180,000. One of the feat ures of the week was the number of speeches made on various subjects, including tint of politics. Leonard Rhone, orator of the State Grange, and Lieutenant Governor Chauncey F. Black, in their addresses made bitter attacks upon corporations, and Girard Brown, of York, and Victor E. Piolett, aired tiieir opinions of Free Trade and Protection. The Democrats and Independents are again resorting to forgery as a campaign weapon against the Re publicans. Their papers have leen publishing a letter alleged to have been written bv General Green B. Raum, late Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, threatening govern ment clerk3, to whom the bogus let ter was supposed to be addressed, with dismissal unless they contribut ed to the campaign fund. General Raum at once denounced the letter as a forgery and a fraud, but all the same, as was the case of the forged letter against Garfield in the campaign of 1SS0, the press con tinues to print it as true, and with apparent indignation comment upon it In accordance with a bargain pre viously made, the Greenbackers of Iowa held a State Convention at Des Moines on Thursday last, and nominated part of a fusion State ticket and then adjourned, leaving the balance of the ticket to be com pleted by the Democratic convention which is to assemble this week. Electors were nominated for the First, Fifth, Seventh, Ligth and Ninth districts, leaving the remain ing six to be supplied by the Demo crats. A Denocrat was also nominated for Supreme Judge, and Greenbackers for State Treasurer and Secretary of State. The Demo cratic journals are very jubilant over the success of the dicker, and are vo ciferously claiming that this makes Iowa a "doubtful State." Hox. Thomas V. Cooper, chair man of the Republican State com mittee, lias been rather ostentatious ly proclaiming for several months past that conciliation had done its perfect work, and ths "Independ ents" were again lovingly clinging to the party standard, narmony had spread her peaceful wings over the entire organization, bruised arms were hung up as monuments of past folly, and, in short, everything was lovely, and union and victory were the watchwords of the re-united party. Brother Cooper's labors were lately rewarded by a unanimous re-nomination for Senator from the Repub- lican convention of his own county of Delaware, and the political skies assumed a still more roseate hue to his charmed vision. But, alas! within a few days clouds oWcast the peaceful horizon, rnutterings of discontent were home upon the winds, the heavens assumed a lurid hue, and forked lightning corus cated about the carmine head of the hopeful chairman. In brief, the In dependents have kicked against his nomination, they have formed, or are about forming an alliance with the Democrats to put an Independ ent candidate in the field against him, and although they will proba bly not defeat him, they will give him trouble, and epoii hifi enjoy ment for a season. Chairman Coop er is now obtaining a personal knowledge of what he has frequently ward from other portions of the State, that the Independents are al ways ready la? conciliation when they are on top, but Tailing to secure this position, they at once cccm.ence to kick like steers. Ihe lessons of; the late war should have taught all observant men the folly of attempt ing to conciliate traitors. "Give them an inch and they demand an ell." The eamrtalsTi committees of both parties complain of a painful lack of funds. J he civil service rules nave shut the pockets of1 government em ployes, a dearth of business has rramnfld the nurses of the manu facturers, and a wonderful lack of enthusiasm delays contributions from the politicians. A campaign without money is an anomoly, and we are likely to have, for once, a contest of principles which will un doubtedly prove disastrous for the Democrats. To counteract the defection of the Irish Democrats of the city of New York from Cleveland, the Democrat ic leaders arranged for a meeting of Irish citizens and their descendants, which was held on Thursday even ing last According to the Herald and other Democratic papers, it was an immense success, and "Blaine's Irish bubble was burst" In an Irish governed city like New York, with a multitude of local offices con trolled by the Irish Democracy, it would be singular indeed, if a crowd of dependants could not be assem bled whenever desired. But the very fact that it was deemed neces sarv'to hold a meeting of the Irish yoters, and appeal to them through the mouths of distinguished orators, to stand by the party whose bread and beef they were eating, is a most significant one, and proves beyond dispute that the stories of large de fections from Cleveland to Blaine are founded on facts, and have alarmed the Democratic leaders into making this special effort to retain their grip upon a body of voters whom they have hitherto undisputedly controlled. Hon. Thomas C. Pounds, hitherto a Republican, who has been Lieu tenant Governor of Wisconsin, and served three terms in Congress, has announced in a long letter his in tention of bolting Blaine and sup porting Cleveland, whereat the hearts of many Democratic journal ists are made glad. The reasons assigned by Mr. Pound are similar to those given by the Curtis crowd of Independents, for their bolt Experience proves that the much heralded defections of these little great men amount to but very little in the end. Thier griev ances, imaginary or real, are person al, and but seldom affect others than themselves. Political leaders often induce their followers, when going with the tide, to swim to the right or to the left, but our political histo ry has no example where large bodies of men have been induced to turn araund, and squarely breast the current with which they have float ed, because a so-called leader has be come dissatisfied. A case in point is that of Andrew G. Curtain, the once great "war Governor" of this State, whose bolt from the Republican party to the Democracy, created scarce a ripple on the political tide in a Commonwealth where he was pre vious to that time, very close to the hearts of the people. Mr. Pound may be a very worthy gentleman, but we conclude, there fore, that his defection from the Re publican ticket will not set the for ests of Wisconsin ablaze. IiOgan at Chicago. Chicago, August 27. The dem onstration last night marking the return of General Logan to his home was one of great magnitude. The Republican torch-bearing organiza tions ol the city made their first ap pearance in this campaign, and the aggregated marchers numbered about 5,000. In addition to the lo cal organizations, uniformed bodies were present from a number of neighboring cities. General Logan arrived from Pullman on a special train, landing at the Twenty-second street depot at 9 o'clock. The ad vent of the train was announced by the firing of artillery and a brilliant display of fireworkp. A mounted escort was in wailing, and, the dis tinguished parties having entered carriages, the cavalcade took up the line of march northward on Mich igan boulevard to Lake Park, where stands had been erected for the speakers of the evening. It was 10:30 o'clock before the last of the inarching escort had reached the point of rendezvous, and General Logan was escorted to the speaker's stand. The crowd then in the park had swelled to about 30,000. On the stand were General Oglesby,- Gov ernor Hamilton, Hon. Joseph- Med- ill, Hon. Charles B. Farwell, Wm. Penn Nixon, Congressman Davis, Dunham Adams and an array of Vice Presidents to the number of fully 200. General Logan was re ceived with great chsering and in response spoke at considerable length. The crowd was so great about the stand occupied by General Iogan that speakers proceeded to occupy adjoining; platforms and ad dressed portions of the crowd from them. Among others speaking were oeneral Olesby, Governor Uamil- ton and Senator Collum. The scene in and about the park during the speaking was made brilliant by an increasing display of pyrotechnics. The speaking continued until 11:30, at which hour the great crowd began to disperse. "?" Freemont ia Loyal. New York, August 31. The fol lowing letter received by Chairman Jones, of the Republican National Committee, explains itself: My Dear Sir I have just learned by the morning papers that I am an nounced, without authority from me, to speak at a Greenback-Labor-Anti-Monopoly mass meeting this evening in Union Square. I need hardly assure you that I still adhere to the Republican party, which did me the honor to place me at tne head of jU ticket in 185C,and which is now so tobly represented by Mr. Blaine and General Logan. I am, my dear sir, yours truly, J. C. Fremont. Prohibit Jon Ticket. Laxsixg.

GREAT FIGHT IX TO.VQriN. The French Troops Annihilated. London, August 27. It is report ed that there are 75,000 Chinese troops in the vicinity of Foo-Chow. According to reports received at Sontay S0.000 Chinese troops have invaded Tonquui and have already had an engagement with the French troops. In this battle.it is asserted, the French were annihilated, while several thousand of the Chinese were killed. A telegram from Shanghai states that 80,000 Chinese troops, who had been secretly massed on the frontier, suddenly invaded Tonquin, and, af ter desperate fighting, completely annihilated the French troops in that province, the Chinese losing several thousand killed during the different engagements, which follow ed in quick succession. According to the above dispatch the massing of this large force on the frontier of Tonquin had been going on for some time under the supervision of expe rienced military leaders, and so well did they conduct the affair that the French commanders were unaware of the proximity of any well-regulated Chinese force until the latter swept down upon them like an av alanche, with the above result The French troops, it is said, fought des perately and repeatedly charged the Chinese lines, but as fast as they were broken into they wereclosd up again with remarkable military precision, and many hand-to-hand encounters ensued, the French finally succumbing to overwhelming odds. According to a dispatch from Shanghai to Reuter's Telegram Agency, "the French loss in the bombardment of Foo-Chow was sev en killed and fourteen wounded. The Chinese lo3S is estimated at 1,- 000 killed and 3,000 wounded. The Chinese man-of-war Yangwu was exploded by a torpedo after ii had fired a broadside at a French torpedo boat The boiler of the latter was exploded by means of hand grenades thrown from the Yangwu, after which the boat was sunk by the Volta to prevent its being captured by the Chinese. The French expect ed to occupy the heights command ing the Pagoda anchorage." admiral cocrbet's report. The official report of the bom bardment at Foo-Chow has been re ceived from Admiral Courbet It is dated Sunday morning and is as fol lows: A good beginning has been made. We opened fire yesterday and in four hours nine Chinese men-of-war and twelve junks were sunk and the Krupp batterycommanding the arse nal was silenced. Our loss was six killed and twenty-seven wounded. The fleet suffered no serious dam age except that the boiler of a torpe do boat was burst. The Chinese losses were heavy. During the night the fleet was beset by burning wrecks and log3. The torpedo cutters will clear all this away to day and after wards we will bombard the arsenal. We shall not leav the river before the 20th or 30th. The officers and men are animated with the greatest ardor. One of our torpedo boats sank a large Chinese cruiser. The vessels which took part in the action were the Volta (which hoisted iny flag,) the Duquay, the Trovin, the ; Tnomphante, the villars, ihe Ve Staing, the Aspic, the Lynx and the Vipere, together with two torpedo boats. THE CHINESE HOLDING OUT. Private telegrams received in Lon don report that the Chinese forts on the Min river are holding out well against the French bombardment The French gunboats are still una ble to pass down the river. The Chi nese authorities are confident of the strength of the forts. Elaine's Health. Bar Harbor, Me., August 27. A gentleman who called at the Blaine cottsge this morning found Mrs. Blaine and the family on the porch enjoying the fresh air and watching the antics of a jet pony which two little girls of the household were rid ing up and down on the lawn. Mrs Blaine, on being questioned with re gard to Mr. Blaine's condition to day, said : "He's all right now ; down stairs, in fact. Of course he is a little weak after bis illness. The truth is, he caught a severe cold by the sudden change in the weather, and any way he has been constant ly annoyed by the cold weather of the season." Walker Blaine, who was met later on the street, said : "Father's all right now ; the illness has been greatly exaggerated." G rcen back - Lead era.

Last night a 3-year-old son of Robert Maxley while out playing, fell into the cistern and was not found for nearly two hours after it fell in. The same child fell in the same trap some weeks ago but was rescued. The warning was not heeded and the 6econd time proved fatal. The Drought Knded. Lynchburg, Va., August, 29. The damaging drought ot seven weeks' standing was broken last night and to-day by copious rains throughout this section. Splendid corn and to bacco crops, which have been threat ened with rapid destruction, are now insured. A Manatoba Cyclone- 'Winnipeg, August 2S. A storm of cyclonic character prevailed thioughout the province last night, doing incalculable damage to vari ous towns and villages, and injuring crops to a considerable extent. At Winnipeg tho roof of the Hudson Bay stores was blown off and torn to pieces, damaging the surrounding buildings. The rain poured down upon the stock doing much damage. A street car with a number of occu nants was blown from the track. A frame house, and a stable occupied by horses, owned by William Burke, was blown awav. ihe house was carried twenty feet, and the stable blown in the Assinabon river. No less than fiftv building's in the city were damaged by storm. Koots were carried away, ends were blown out of houses, chimneys were blown down, plateglass windows were brok en, signs were knocked endwise, tel ephone and telegraph wires were prostrated and general havoc com mitted. At Headingly, a large number of stores, dwelling houses and farm houses suffered. The store of Mr t rancis was bfown down and is a total ruin, the stock being scattered over the prairie. The station house was lifted off its support A dwell ing house house owned by Mr. Tay lor, and occupied by a young mar ried couple named Buchanan, was completely demolished. It was pickt-d up by the wind and carried several rods away before it struck the ground, when it was shivered in to fragments. The occupants had a narrow escape from death. Mrs. Buchantn was blown in a ditch and badly shaken. The English church was blown over and torn to pieces, and its fragments cover the ground in all directions. Mrs. Luxston'a house was also destroyed, being turned over completely, and a large barn on Mr. Cashion's farm was car ried away. Mr. Morgan's hotel and two houses, and John Tait's and D.

Four men were shot during a trial before Justiee Mull, at Fairview school house, six miles south east of Har rard, yesterday morning. J. H. Terry had been pulled off his horse some days ago, and a revolver taken from him by Ed. Reed and George Estes. He had them arraigned be fore the J ustice on a charge of lar ceny. During the trial Reed and Estes, with a revolver and a club made an attack on Terry, who drew his revolver and shot both of them killing Reed. In the scrimage Ter ry received a shot in the shoulder, and a bystander, name unknown, was slightly wounded. In all about a dozen shots were fired. There has been trouble between the par ticipants several times before and not long ago shots were fired into Terry's house by parties supposed to be Reed and Estes. Both parties went to the trial yesterday morning armed and evidently expecting a row. ' . Mistress and Servant Dead. St. Louis. August 23. News of a terrible tragedy has just reached here from O'Fallon, a town on the Ohio and Mississippi Railway, seventeen miles northeast of St Louis. Per sons visiting the house of Mrs. Mc CormicK, a relative of J. H. Vancourt member of the Illinois Legislature found all quiet there this afternoon and, suspecting something wrong, went out in the rear of the premises and there found the body of Mrs. McCormick, lying sturk and dead. Her clothing had been torn from her in shreds and her brains had been literally battered out with an axe which was found lying by her side. A further inves tigation of the premises disclosed the dead body of a Norwegian ser vant girl, who, from all appearance had murdered her mistress and then committed suicide by poisoning. Bloody marks were found upon her hands and arms and her dress was also stained with biood. It is thought that fhe two quarreled and that in. a fit of passion the girl pick ed up the axe which was near, and battered out the brains of her mis tress. A Darioe Feat. Washington. August, 27. A dar ing feat was in progress at the Wash ington monument yesterday, though witnessed by but lew. It was the inspection of the outer work from bottom to top. All day long a work man in a sling moved slowly up and down the five hundred feet of marble inspecting every block and joint to note any irregularity -of subsidence or of masonry. Perhaps he was also looking for some possible result of the recent earthquake. The man in the 6ling8wung slowly up and down against the smooth marble, shaft, looking very much like a fly now pausing by signaj to more closely inspect some particular point now rising again toward the clouds looking all the time as cool as if he were Bwinging in a hammock under the trees. The work was found in excellent conditiou. Bound and Gagged- Meadvilee, August 27. Early this morning an attempt was made to blow qpen the safe of the Athens Mills Lumber and Planing VVorks, in the northern part of the city. The night watchman was seized and at the points of four revolvers was bound and gagged. After being se curely tied three holes were drilled into the safe, but further efiorto in some manner were frustrated, as the sale blowing was not completed. Detectives are on the track of the desperadoes. Work of the Rangers. Bkow.nsviixe, August 29. Yes terday a detachment of State IUng ers joined a party of Ruralea (Mexi can Rangers; on the other tide and j 6tarted up the Uiver on a raid of the island in the middle of the stream, a noted haunt of Mexican and Amer ican bandits. They found the inland almost entirely deserted, the inmates having been run out by former raids of the otlicers. On the Mexican side of the river, however, five dead bod ies were found swinging, too much decomposed to admit of recognition. They are supposed to have been hung by the Mexican Rangers. Six Hour Fight la Lima. Chorillos, Peru, August, 23. via Galveston. In Lima yesterday there was a storm of bullets for over six hours. Cacer8 entered the city with a rabble, who yelled and fired in the greatest disorder. The night before all the Government troops were withdrawn iuto the Cuartel and the Palace, and the entry of Ca ceres, although not unexpected was somewhat of a surprise. His men captured the Cuartel and and the churches of Merced and San Augus tin, from which they kept up a fusi lade. They also attacked the Guad alupe station. About 1"0 persons were killed in Mercaderes and Bode gones streets, and near the palace souare. where the fire was hottest. Finally the Government troops made a sortie and drove out the mob Caceres was accompanied by about ninety horsemen, lney appeared to have been traveling all night and were not in condition to tight witli troops well fed and fresh from their beds. Three hundred prisoners were taken. Caceres escaped. The Ger man proprietor of a cigar store was killed while looking from a balcony All the telegraph wires were cut for miles out of the city, and no trams ran. Nothing occurred at Lhorii los. The cable staff are all right Heavy guns were heard for some hours, but no news to the Iocalicy of the firing has been received up to d.M a. m. All is quiet this morning in Lima. Dead men and horses are being re moved and pools of blood cleared up. The fight in the San Augustm Church proceeded with closed doors Caceres is said to have 1300 disci plined troops, who were to have at tacked Callo. These may return. Last night there were no guards in the streebi ; all were in the Cuartel and Palace. Shot hjr a Footpad. York, August 30. This evening about eight o'clock, as farmer Eman uel Smith and his wife were return ing home from m?rket, at a point near tetuni s ore bank, about one and a-half miles from town, a man who was desenbed as bping well dressed, stepped out of a cornfield close by the road, and to the rear of the wag on, and deliberately fired a shot which took effect in the back of Mrs. Smith's head. The lady fell back into the wagon, crying out that she was shot A stream of blood poured from the wound into the wagon. The husband at once called at a farm house close by for assistance, and couriers were dispatched to York for medical assistance. The nersoa who summoned the doctor said the wo man would probabl v die. After the shootinff, the assassin turned and fled down a lane in the direction of York. He has not yet been arrested. and his whereabouts are unknown. Officers are scouring the country in pursuit of him. More Xegroea Altai ted. Bcfauli, Ala., August 30. Five additional cases of hydrophobia de veloped to-day on the plantation of Punch Doughtie, where o2 negroes were already suffering from the dis ease from eating the flesh of hogs which had died from the effects of a mad dog's bite. Mr. Doughtie, on whose place, five miles from the city, the sick people are, was in town to-day, surrounded by crowds of ex cited people, listening to his graphic account of the incidents of the terri ble epidemic. To-day he was oblig ed to kiil a mule on which he was riding when it was attacked and bit ten by another. Several of the mules of the herd which escaped have bsen recovered, and are kept in confinement for the observation of veterinarians. AH the hogs at tacked were of the Berkshire breed. The symptoms of the disease were frothing at the mouth, blind staggers and fits. Dr. Johnson, the attend ing physician, has not changed his opiuion that the majority of the eases among the negroes will prove fatal. Mechanics v bo Will Support ISlaine Milwaukee, August SO. An im portant and very significant political document is published here to-day. It is an address signed by about one thousand mechanics of Milwaukee to their fellow-craftmen of the State, giving in forcible language the reas ons why they cannot vote tor Gro ver Cleveland, and why they will support Mr. Blaine. Of the signers fully one-third have hitherto steadi ly voted with the Democratic party. The address states that Mr. Cleve land, as Governor of New York, has steadily vetoed almost every meas ure passed by the legislature of that State in which the working men took an especial interest, and that for this and other reasons they will oppose his election and vote for Blaine and Logan.
