Pri m's flag escapade will make him as

This price is . purely speculative, and a

Whk.v the l'resident attends the Grand
Army encampment at St. Ijouis, he can
explain to the veterans why he ordered
the captured rebel flags restored to their
(tinner owners.
Ik the Confederate flag business had
turned out a boom, as was intended, the
President and his friends would not now
be whining that the Secretary of War
au.1 the adjutant General mislead him
A destrotivk tire in Ixiaisvilk, Ken
tucky, on Saturday morning, destroyed
two acres of buildings in the tobacco
quarter of the city, in which were stored
thirty -five thousand hogsheads of tobac
co. The loss is estimated at at least half
a million dollars.
The flag incident brings out a long
whine from the Democratic press alxiut
reviving the oil animosities of the war.
We would like to know if anything else
than the old war feeling and hatred of
the North, keeps the South solidly in the
Democratic ranks?
Ix Xew York they have enai.-ted a law,
which goes into effect in May next, ban
ishing woven from all passenger ears, un
der a penalty of f KM a day for each day
that the law shall be violated. Here is a
chance for some genius to invent a car
heating machine, that will not burn up
jwssengers in cases of accident.
Secbetabv Lamab frankly cont
that he w uld like to have the vacant
sent on the bench of the Supreme Court,
and the report comes from Washington
that the President n disposed to gratify
his wishes. Some people will think that,
a man who took up arms against the gov
ernment, is hardly a fit interpreter of the
constitution and laws he attempted to
overthrow.
Thk statement of the United StaU
Treasury Ieartfnent shows that the con
dition of the national finances is not such
as to -all for hastT measure for reducing
the surplus. So great will lie the drain
upon the Treasury on aeeount of the
licnsioiis and for other expenditures un
der ainnpriations fir the approaching
Cscal year, 'that the surplns for some
month to come will lie bv no means un
manageable.
It is reported from London that Mr.
Blaine is receiving much attention from
the " high mucky mucks " of society, and
it is added that he is pursuing a very dis
crete and discriminating course in his ac
ceptance of invitations. Mr. Blaine is
too old and tio exiierieneed a diplomat
to be caught by adulation, or to be tick
led bv attention from the nobility. He
is an American democrat all over and all
through.
Evev Jeff Ifevis is down on Cleveland
for his promised surrender of the battle
flags. He says: " The order of the War
IV'partmcnt to return the captured flags
to the late Confederate States was a vio
lation of all know military precedents.
You will find in my history of the late
war that there were but twenty-six n-gi-ments
of regular tro 'i in the army of the
Xorth, and of the total of .W Confeder
ate flags captured, it. is questionable if
these twenty-six regiments cajrtured 50.
The flags were captured by the volunteer
armv of the North, and In-long to the sev
eral Stales, and have no right to lie in
the Natioual Capitol." Of course Jeff
idill sticks to tb old State rights doctrine
and asse-W that the captured liags belong
to the several Stat, and not to the t-n-
ral government.
The Fidelity National Bank of Cincin
nati and its chief officials failed last week
for over &ven million of dollars, the
moue Ix'ing lost iu speculation on w heat.
Since '.he failure ,f the Marine Bank in
New York, which through the rascality
f its managers, ruined General Grant
and his sons, there has lxen no grosser
Ix'trayal of a public trust, than that
which isdim losed by the failnre of this
Cincinnati bank. Its funds were totally
abxortied by its swindling officials, its
depositors lose everything, and it col
lapse will carry ruin to many business
men aud biu.iieH firms throughout the
wintry. The Government official have
taken cuarge of its liooks and empty
vault .uid its oliieers are in jail pending
criminal prosecutions, when iu accouuU
and the method of keeping them are
examined.
Gkseral Hawlet says in the Hartford
Omnwit of the President intended sur
render of the captured Imttle flag :
The incident reveals and illuiuiwteg
tlie nutn'c character. It fa what waa to

Reference to the tabulated returns on
the adjoining page will show the result
of the primary election held on Saturday.
The ticket nominated is a strong one. Jts
individual members are all active, influ
ential Republicans who stand near the
public heart, and their election .w only a
question of time and of majority. The
struggle for the different Kutiona on the
ticket was an esrnest but amicable one
and has left but few soars behind. Of
course there are the usual disappoint
ments among the friemla of the defeated
candidates, but the popular verdict will
lie cheerfully acquiesced in by all. It is
now the duty of every Republican to add
his individual mite towartl swelling the
majority, t very man who cast a bain t
for his favorite candidates at the primary,
is in honor bound to sustain the ticket
then and there nominated, from top to
bottom, whether his hopes and wishes
were gratified or not, In no other way,
except by ready aequisccnee in the jxip-
ular verdict, when fairly expressed, can
party organization be preserved and jiarty
success be certainly assured. We urge,
therefore, upon every Republican in the
county to give this ticket his earnest,
hearty and zealous support. A good, old
fashioned majority for it will place the
party in good shajic, solidly united, for
the all-iinjMjrtant Presidential campaign
of next year. Close up the ranks, friends!
Let there lie no straggling !
Lack of Unity.
There is now only one sex-ion of Congress
liefore the heat of the next President iiil cam
paign. In that nessioD the I HMiiocrat ic. ma
jority can hardly afford to make another and
last ojK-n confession of its lack of unity.
Iu the last sesiou it never dared t hold a
caucus lor the formulation ol a iHiry; m
the next it will lie ooliged to make a prt
telise of policy.
But how can the vinegar of Mr. Carlisle's
ai;;?reessive fn-e tree tle be made to unite
with the oil of Mr. Randall's proposed tlieft of
nator Sherman's policy? Mr. Carlisle
seems to bo very much in earnest just now,
and Mr. Morrison, who joins the office of
Interstate Commerce Conimiasioner to that
of a leader of the lk mocratic Congress out
of doors, is at t lie side of the Speaker, and
the twain have announced that they will lie
iu Washington ou or ubout the first of next
month to take council with " I teiuocnttic
hiulers., as to larifl reform and the reduction
of the surplus." But now who are thelVjii
ocratic leaders? If Mr. Randall, Mr. timdy.
Senator rngh, Senator Yoorliecs. the editors
of the Nashville Hnnttrr and the Macon 7W
araji'i are to be considered as leaders, there will
be no decisive effort at " tariff reform." If
they are to tie considered as leaders, there
will be vomething like mutiny in the camp.
Tliintrs look so equally tluit the Prcsid-.-nt
is reported as less desirous if au extra ses
sion than he was some time ago; indeed, it
is likely that be would be ;lad if he could
M along without even a regular session for
this vear. He himself is a fn-e trailer, and.
on the whole, it looks an if a tariff tinkering
and internal revenue iatcliing policy would
prevail, an economic ollapodrida with noth
ing distinctive in flavor, but with sufficient
injudicious admixture of repuguaut ingred
ient to offend the palate and produce irrita
tion of the Xalional stomach. Mr. "arlisle
will see to it that then- is enough free trade
in the nuns to irritate thecoinmen'ial ronval
esivtice of the new South, ami Mr. Randall
will inject enough internal revenue reduction
to alarm the magnates of the toliacto and
whiskey trade. A cohesive Kilicy can not
lie frame! of such an ineohesivp muss ascon
stitutes the IMmsnutic majority in or out of
Coiigr&a. Intrr Ocew.
Why Not?
The Xew York TrUmne a.-ks : Why not
takedown and hreak up Bunker Hill Mouu
mitit ? It seems to perpetuate a victory over
" the mother Country " ami then-fore is well
calculated to hurt the feelings of England.
Shall a child go on for an indefinite period
gloating over the fact that it got the liest of
ita mother? Perish the monstrous tliought.
Bunker Hill must go.
Why not sujierwdc the star-siaiigleil lian
ner? its studied retention of Uie flagstaff of
the North unpleasantly reminds ex-rebels
tliat their desjierate efforts to haul it down
wre unsuccessful. Why needlessly hurt the
feeling of a section of our common country?
Let us have a new fla. a flag fraught with
no nneomfortable associations for any per
son iu the United States. The old tlag must
go.
Why li"t read tlie riot act on the Orand
Army of the Ucpublic compiling it forth
witii to apologize and disband? The or
ganization is notoriously oomMed of men
who went for rebels, went for them ou pur
k.c, went for them energetically and often
fatally. Its prolonged and active existence
cannot commend .'tself to ex-rebel is an un
commonly sensitive individual, the growth
of his ex-jost facto iatrioti-tm depending
upon his not having his finer fcc!itig hurt.
The Orand Army of the Ri-pnblic must
go.
Why not exclude Ilccoratiou Day from
the calendar ? The ceremonies with which
it is anuuaily olwerved keep fragrant aud at
the fore the memory of the grandest division,
the division tliat is "off duty forcverv," of
the . A. R. How can highstrung, chival
ric ex-enemies of the Union regard the lay
as anything except a desire'to hurt their
(eeliags? lecoratnm Day must go.
Why not attolisU the American Union
and form another form of fiovemmciit the
vote for which shall be unanimous? It is
well known that the South did nut approve
of the Union ; in fact the South hud herself
out to tl.oot the Union to death. So king,
therefore, as the North selfishly insist upon
having her own way, that is. selfishly insist
u Kin the Union, slip is doing ponspicuou
violence to I he known wishes of the South.
She is hurting the South's feelings. . The
North as the conqueror can well afford tu be
magnanimous. Why then would it not lie
a graceful act on the North's part Ut invite
the South to pick out the style of Govern
ment that best suit her fancy, and that done
generously tooons nit to it general adoption?
The old Union must go. Aud why not add,
that a commission shall be uppoiuU! to ool
lect from the mem iters of the Grand Army
the 2.Vi1000 buttons made from captured reb
el caiioout. They mint be very offensive re
minders of the fact that the war of tbe Uuiou
was evertastingly right, while tliat for the
Kouth was everlastingly wrong! Why not.
President Cleveland, try to pleasp pvery
aody in these various ways?
Knock ad Off a Train by Lightning.
Dokaldsoii. fk., Jane 14. One of the
severest storm that ever visited thi section
occurred last night. Tree were uprooted
and carried way, and tlsrre was a henvy
tall of hail. Lightning struck in a num
ber of place. At tbe New Lincoln colliery
Charles Brandt wa struck by lightning and
knocked off car platform of thp miner'
train. He fell under the wheels of tlie train
and both his lugs were horribly mangled.
FIVE ACRES OF ROAST PORK.
A MammothPackingHouae. Daatroy
ed by Flr... .
Chicaoo, June 20. A million and quar
ter dollars went up in smoke at the UnioB
Stock Yards to-day. Early ' this morning
one of the employe of the ;hicao Packiuf
and Provision Company discoftred a fire In
the tank room." In a few minute onetank
exploded, auttteriujc the burning lard over
the adjacent buildings and a doatn fires wB
stKdi coiujieting m-ith each other in the de
struction of the immense establishment.
Though the fire wm struck out this even
ing, 141 hours after it had started, the smoul
dering ember continued to laden the air
w ith the fumes of roast pork, and a five acre
rrren will remain on the premises red hot for
at least a couple of days.
The Chicago Packing and Provision Couir
any's works occupy about six acre of
ground, but the fire was kept within the dis
trict bounded by Fortieth street. Centre ave
nue, Forty-ecoud street and the railroad
tracks, a block west of Centre avenue. This
territory contained four large buildings. The
main building was 3"X be 472 feet. In it a
portion of the killing wan done, and the
hanging, cutting, ) ticking, cut-inn aud other
work incidental to a slaughtering establish
ment Except the curing-room, in which
were I.uuo,oo0 pounds of short ribs, the
main building and its contents are a total
oss. The curing room, 100 by 100 feet and
fo ur stories higli, lost its roof, but stone tire
walls saved its contents a portion of them
in a roasted condition. On the east aide of
the main building was the warehouse, VJO by
400 feel, with four stories and a liasemeut.
The two upjier stories were used for killing
purpose. Iufhe warehouse were 17,0(10 liar
rels of mess pork belonging to Armour A Co.
The building and much of the pork was
wholly destroyed.
About 3,000 live hogs were in the building
when the fire started, bnt the company's em
ployes succeeded in getting most of them
out. Between Moo and 700 hogs were burned
alive in the building. Back of the main
buildiug was the fertilizer factory, 100 feet
square, and the engine house, 50 by 05 foot.
Boih structures were burned completely,.
Mr. Armour valued his 1 7.000 barrels of
pork ut :ijo.ou0. He said that with the sal
vage and insurance it would come out even.
He was unable to give the amount of insur
ance. The plant of the ' "hieago Packing and
Provision Company was valued at $300,000
and the stock at $700,0t0. large portion
of the stock in store belonged to othor par
ticw and the loss will be sustained by them.
About half of the Chicago Packing and Pro
vision Oimyany's 2,000 employes will be
thrown out of work.
Michigan Town Wiped Out.
Milwai kke. Wis., June 'Si. A fire almost
swept the town of Marshfield out of exist
ence this afternoon, and 2,000 people are
homeless. The loss is not less than $1,009,
0i0 . The communication by wire is cut off
and it is impossible to leant particulars. A
locomotive spark started a blaze at noon in
the lumber yard of the Uplmm furniture fac
tory and it rapidly developed into a raging
tire that spread toward the town. Insuffi
cient fire protection facilities prevented any
resistence and soon several flourishing facto
ries, the business blocks along main street
and adjoining resiliences were wrapped in
flames. The people gathered such house
hold effects as they could and fled to the
woods. The heat was so iutense that 2,500
fcef of the Wisconsin Central track, which
runs along one end ol" the town, was bent
and twisted into the most grotesque liape.
It cannot be repaired on this account until
to-morrow. Specials from Stevens Point
and Chipisiwa Falls conveyed fire engines
to the place, but the tire was beyond all con
trol. But one store and a lew half-burned
houses remain of the flourishing town.
Many people were transferred hy sjn-cials to
neiglilioriiiR towns and others camped on
the outskirts. Among the buildings thut
were destroyed Were a wwidcn-ware factory,
tbe grist-mill, saw-mill and factory of the
Uphiim Manufai-tiiring Ojmpany, the Trc
mont and several minor hotels, warehouses
along the Wisconsin Central, its det, four
churches and the entire business centre. The
insurance is less than one fifth of the loss.
It is impossible to obtain detailed particu
lars of the fire to-night. The meagre ac
counts received of it come from neighboring
towns whose hospitality has licen thrown
OjN'n to the2,ion inhabitants. But few have
availed themselves of it. however, most of
the people being ltouscd lor the night under
wagons, rudely-eotuimicted shells, blankets
ami such household furniture as was
saved. Tlie scene is a pitiable one. Tlie
wearied men and depressed women are
watching the remnant of their homes and
isissessions, promiscuously scattered around
in the surrounding woods, which arc lit up
to-night by the glow that comes from the
still burning mass that covered acres and
represented a thriving village. So rapid was
the spread of the fire that little could bp
saved. Frantic men and women used vehi
cles of every description to save Rooils.
Blaine Abroad.
IiOMms, June 27. The jubilee is over and
most of tlie crowned heads and great digni
taries have departed. People are now paying
greater attention to the distinguished per
sons who remain with them. James !.
Blaine bids fair to become a great social lion.
Invitations from the most distinguished
families in Iindon are pouring in upon him
and it is one increasing swirl of diallers and
parties and receptions. In the American
colony Mr. Blaine's advent is hailed with
delight. American politicians here however
are beginning to talk knowingly alxiul the
frequent conferences held between Mr.
Blaine and Senators K rye and Hale, of Maine
and aver that it has some political signifi
cance in regard to '88. This, however, is
shi'er nonsense. The frequent conferences,
if such they may ba termed, arc merely the
result of three old friends being in a foreign
city togi-ther. wh take the opportunity of
having a friendly little chat over their visit
to Kuglaud. This evening Mr.' Blaine met
Joseph Chanilierlaiu, having been invited to
dine at Mrs. Teure's for the express purpose
of making tlie acquaintance of the Birming
ham ILidicaL Mr. Teure's salon is well
known to all distinguished politicians
Jay Could's Tribute to Washington.
WasuinoTos, I). C, June :?. The Mount
Vernon estate, where the remains of Wash
ington lie entombed, has been enlarged by
the addition of a tract of land of 33 acres on
the northern side where the old Washington
mansion stood. It was secured through tlie
generosity of Mr. Jay Gould. While on hi
way up the Potomac, in bin yacht Atalanta
Mr. Gould stopped at Moil ht Vernon and
was sbowu around the grounds. He ex
pressed great interest in the place and the ad
mirable manner in which it is cared for. In
the course of conversation tliSuicriutendent
remarked that the tract in question Was much
needed to protect the property from encroach
ment. Mr. iould immediately authorized
the purchase of the ground at his expense,
and it has been bought and turned over to
the Mount Vernon Regents. The price paid
is not known. ''
Daring Jail Delivery.
Black Fikjt, Ikauo, June 27. A most
daring and successful jail delivery otxurred
there last night. Henry Nickersou, In for
horse stealing, was furnished with a revolver
by bis wife, who has been visiting him daily.
With the revolver Nickerson held up the
guard who had accompanied his wife to the
cell. The air disarmed tlie guard and
locked him in the cell. They then liberatod
Aleck Woods, the negro wife murderer, 'and
one William, also convicted of murder,
both sentenced to hang July 22, and another
horse thief, and locking up the rest of tlie
watchmen, the entire party escaped to. the
outside where horses were waiting for them.
Woods, weighing 2."0 jsmnds, would not
trust the horse and took to the brush on dot.
Tlie otlicrs fled on horseback. The sheriff
returning an hour later organized a posse and
soon cajiturrd Woods, bnt was still in pur
suit of the others at last accounts., As the
criminals are armed a desperate fight i
likely.
War tha Medals In Danger?
A remarkable tact connected with the bat
tin flags, say a Washington corresjiondeutof
tlie New York fa that by tar the greater
part of the medal awarded to Union soldiers
under the resolution of Congress, approved
July 12. 1862, and Section 8 of the aot of Con
gress approved March 3, lWi3, "lor distin
guished ervice during the. War of ttte Rebel
lion," wcregivcu for theeapture of flags from
the enemy. An alplwlx4ical list of these
medals was compiled under the direction of
General Drum, The first name on the list
is that of Private F. C. Anderson, Eighteenth
Massachusetts, who got his medal for cap
turing tbe flag of the Twenty-seventh South
Carolina ou the Weldon Railroad. Next
do lues that of . privata J,. FJkdauia, First
West Virginin Cavalry, who eatured the
flag o? the .Fourteenth 'irginty Cavalry a
Nineveh 'Third on the! list is Private IL W.
Ammeniutn, One Hundred and Forty-eighth
Pennsylvania who captured the flag of the
Light h North Carolina af Spottsylvania. Ho
the list goes om Out of the first eighty
the proportion is still greater, tio fewer than
fifty-three receiving the medal for the cap
ture of flags from the enemy. Another re
markable joint to be noticed In this list is
that a very groat number of tlie receivers of
the medal were private soldiers. Of the first
thirty mimes no fewer than sixh-en were
those of non-commissioned officers. It is
certain that most of those heroic, achieve
ments were performed by enlisted men, their
comrades being witnesses to their prowess.
Accordingly, it is not surprising that the
project of the President and bis War Secre
tary fo get rid of these visible emblems and
proofs of gallant deeds, should have aroused
a storm of indignation among the veterans
in every State which furnished men to the
Union Army.
The Champion Works In the Hands
of a Receiver.
Si-RlNoriKLD O.. June 23. There was a
flutter of excitement throughout the city to
night when it was learned that the linn ol
Whilely, Fasslcr, fc Kelly, manufacturers of
the Cluitnpion mowers and rcajiers, was in
the hands of a receiver on abdication of the
Champion Bar and Knife Company. Wil-,
liam X Whilely, senior member of the firm,
was apHiinted receiver.
Whitely, Fasslcr d Kelly are jicrhaps as
widely known as any manufacturing concern
iu America, . It does au annual business of
$5,000,000. . This season's business is the
most pro"iierous of any in the history of the
firm and the following was given as the of
ficial statement of the affair :
William X. Whitely was to-day appointed
as receiver in the Court of Common Pleas for
Whitely, FasslerA Kelly, and that company
has sent tbe following telegram to all its
creditors :
"Unexpected losses have temporarily forc
ed us into the hands of Wm. N. Whitely, as
receiver. Kindly have representatives from
banks in your city with power to act attend
a meeting here at our office on Tuesday next
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Murdered by a Maniac.
Fort Worth. June 23. W. T. Grigsby,
proprietor of the Unique Sample Rikiius. be
came suddenly insane last night from brood
ing over financial troubles. He stood lean
ing on his safe before a crowd of friends,
toying with a 45-calibre revolver, making
elalsirate preparations for suicide and keep
ing the crowd at bay with the weapon,
threatening to kill any that approached.
D. B. Kennedy, his best friend, came into
the saloon at the time and, running toward
Grigsby, said: "He shan't be allowed to kill
himself, poor fellow. I wil! save him." Not
heeding the command to half, Kennedy
pressed on and was shot through the. heart.
The maniac realizing what he had done, sank
lo the floor helpless, moaning: "The gallows,
the gallows, 1 am going to the gallows."
He is now a raving maniac.
The Chicago Bricklayers.
. Chicago, June 24. It is difficult to esti
mate with accuracy the full extent of the
financial loss resulting from the strike which
the bricklayers declared off last night. The
local loss in Wiiges can be clearly computed,
and Chicago merchants estimate the amount
of trade which has been sacrificed. '
Aside from this, however, miners are idle
in Pennsylvania, and saw mills and their
operatives ill Michigan and Wisconsin;
thousands of men are thrown out of work in
the stone quarries adjacent to the city ; the
prcssed-briek trade is affected all over the
United States; thousands of dollars have
been lt to the railroad companies; every
branch of manufacture is a direct sufferer
from the strike. A careful estimate matte of
the loss in wages to striking and loeked-out
employes in the vicinity of Chicago alone
foots up nearly two and one-half million
dollars. It would be difficult to name a
trade or business not directly a sufferer from
this protracted strike.
HorseWhipped A Reporter.
Jackson. Mich, June 25. Mrs. W. P.
Heaton, wife of the editor of the Courier, at
noon publicly horsewhipiiedSidney Corbett,
in front of the Courier office. Mrs. Heaton
was assisted in her efforts by her sister, Mrs.
Briody. of Cold water, Mich. The fracas
grew out of the publication in a Detroit pa
per last Sunday of a scandalous story alsiut
Mrs. Heaton and her niece, and she charges
Corbett with , furnishing the sensational
items from which the article was written.
In the fracas to-day Corbett admitted that he
attempted to get the article published in
another Ilctroit pajicr than that in which it
apieared .
The horsewhiiping was a fearful punish
mcnt to Corbett, as Mrs. Heaton was armed
with a vicious rawbide, and the sister look the
reporter cane from him and beat him un
mercifully while Mrs. Heaton used tbe raw
hide upon his face and neck, w hich are badly
lacerated.
The fight continued until the jioliee came
several blocks and parted them.
The affair is the most sensational of any
thing that has happened here for years, and
a great crowd stood by and hooted and yell
ed. ' Prosecution will follow.
Standing In the Graveyard.
. Cokey, June 23. This evening Joseph,
son, of Thaddcwa Williams, strolled to Pine
Grove Cemetery, and there, standing on the

DIED IN THEIR EOOTS.
Craig Toliiver, the Kentucky
Desperado, Shot Down.
A BLOODY BATHE IN' MOREAD.
End of a Feud in which 21 Lives
Have Been Lost.
ni.LLL:.. ;
Lexisctok, June 22. The worst criminal
hi Kentucky is dead. Craig Toliiver, assas
sin and dewppcndo, was shot down "in the
streets of Morehead, Rowan county, this
4iiruihg. '.With him dlufl his brother Bud
and Jay and Hiram ( oopcr. They died with
their boots on, and Craig and tbe men who
were killed with him in one of the blomlicst
affrays on record will help to swell the long
list of assassinations for which they have
been resinsihle.
Morehead has been in a state of pcrjietual
terror for several weeks. With his hands
reeking with gore, Toliiver, a short time ago,
got himself elected a Judge, simply because
eople who feared him dared not vote a
gainst him. Since their be has been paying
olf old scores. Dr. Logan, an old time ene
my, was arrested on trumpeted-up charge
aud throw n into jail. Then Toliiver sent
his deputies to arrest Logan's two sons.
They did it, but the two sons were shot
dead first.
, VENOKASCKONTOLLlVtlR.
The immediate catbse of Toliiver, murder
to-day was the cold-blooded assassinution of
the Logan boys. Thoroughly cowed, many
of the best jieople of Morehead hud fled from
flic place where Toliiver reigned supreme.
Things were in a lmd state. A few days ago
the Rovernor set Ir. Ixigan free. Toliiver
and his band of murderers were highly in
censed and swore vengeance. So did Logan,
aud he heartily entered into a plau of the
Sheriff to rid the county of his enemies. ,
Sheriff Hogg, presumably acting under in
structions from the State authorities, for he
recently visited Frankfort to See Governor
Knott, has liceii lor about a week quietly
organising a very large sse of determined
men in the upper part of Rowan county and
in the udjoiuitig counties for the purpose of
arresting Craig Toliiver, or all the party who
were implicated in the murder of the Logan
boys two weeks ago. Craig had received in
timations of this, but they were so vague
that he supposed the party would lie regula
tors instead of a Sheriffs posse. Toliiver and
his iarty, consisting of aliout ten men, were
quite vigilant and went heavily armed to
meet every eastward-lsiuud train at the de
pot to search fir suspicions characters and to
see that no one got off at Moreheud but those
whom they desired.
AIiVANCINI ON THE TOWS.
Sheriff Hogg eqilipiicd his large party with
Wi nc! lester ri lies and the ammunition was
s-rctly conveyed to his rendezvous while
he was organizing the posse. Everything
was ready for the move on the Toliiver gang
several days ago. but as it was known that
neither he nor any of his men would w.ice
ahly submit to legal arrest of any kind it was
deemed be-it to have the plans thoroughly
matured btfore taking any decisive stej.
It was finally determined to attempt the ar
rest of the assassins in the day time, to pre
vent any women, children or inoffensive
citizens from being killed by accident. Ac
cordingly, at au early hour this morning
people living on the line of the railroad,
within two or three miles of Morehead on
each side of the town, were notified to stop
i all trains and inform the conductors what
was going on in Mon-hesd. so that the pas
sengers and trainmen would not lie placed
in danger.
' Sheriff Hogg's band of resolute men, num
ticring pmhahly more than two hundred,
appeared suddenly at Morehead alsiut
1 o'clock this morning. A conlon was first es
tablished around the towu iu the brush,
w here the men could not lie seen. Tho Sher
iff then entered the town at lite head of
one hundred well-armed men.
A BATTLE IS TOW S.
Craig Toliiver and his ten follower imme
diately retreated to the Cottage Hotel, which
they had previously barricaded in such a
manner as to make it quite a formidable 6r
tress. Sheriff Hogg thin notified Toliiver
that he had warrants fc.r the arrot of all the
men impliciitwl iu the kdliugof tbe Loguii
boys, and asked that idey all submit -c--bly
lo arrest under the law. Tolliver's n
ply was tluit neither he nor any of his men
Would be arrested anil that a hundred men
could not take them. Hin party then open
ed tire on the Sheriffs ise. yuiteabrisk
rattle of musketry ensued and the fighting
was kept up probably for two hours. The
only casualty for a time was a flesh-wound
received by one of tlie Sheriff's posse. The
attacking Iarty. however, were gradually
drawing their lines closer around Tolliver's
fortification and the besieged lrty, finding
things growing too warm, finally concluded
to make a bold rush for liberty, cut their way
through the Sheriffs Hisse and take to the
adjacent brush, which when reached would
afiord them a secure escape. But then they
were met by a tremendous volley, which kill
ed Craig Toliiver, Bud Toliiver, Jay Toliiver
and Hiram Cxper. They were all sliot
through the heart ami died instantly. Craig
Toliiver seems to have been a general target,
as he was so thoroughly riddled as to be
scarcely recognizable. The other men of the
gnng got through safely, but a they ap
proached the brush they were met by a vol
ley from the outside cordon, a line of men suv
tioned ten or twelve feet upart all around the
town. This volley wounded Cafe Toliiver, a
twelve-year old Isiy, and three oilicrs, all of
whom were captured except Cate Toliiver,
who crept into the brush and ocaped. Tlie
other three also cseajied. but one was captur
ed afterwards. This brought the battle to au
end.
HOW THK rKt'D BKOAS.
The Tollirer-Martin feud dates from the
August election in lSN4.and like most of these
mountain veiidettas,origiuatcd in politics. It
is probable that the hut red of the hostile fami
lies was fanned and kept alive by shrewd pol
iticians to nerve their own ends. In lsst
Cook Humphrey, a young man of 25, was
the Republican candidate lor Sheriff ugainst
Sam G.Hslwiii, a Democrat'. Tbecoiinty had
ordinarily gone Democratic by a small ma
jority, hut Humphrey, being very popular
personally, was elected by twelve majority.
The feuds engendered by this contest are still
alive, although thut is more than can be said
for a score or more men engaged in them.
The Martins allied themselves with the
Humphreys, and Toliiver with Goodwin's
cause. Craig Toliiver. the lealer of tbe lat
ter taction, whose, name in Kentucky has.
grown as notoriously familiar as was that of
Jesse James in Missouri several years ago,
swore after the election that Humphreys
should never ride Rowan county as Sheriff.
Since that date life ufter life has been offered
up on the altar of hatred and bad blood, with
increasing frequency, despite the best efforts
of judiciary and militia, hacked by the strong
arm of the State government. The male
members of the Martin family, the original
enemies of Craig Toliiver und his taction,
were obliterated long ago and tlie home bur
ned to thegroumL their women and children
barely escaping with their lives. The Lo
gan's etqiouscd the Martin side of the feud,
and although three of the younger Logan1
have been killed, two of them but a short
time ago, the elder Logan headed Hie attack
which has ended tbe career of Craig Toliiver
and his brothers;

Berk County Taxes.
RluuuMi, June 23. Judge Krnieiitroul,
speaking from ihe licneh to-day to the grand
jury, gave crooned jioliticiali and corrupt
otUcu-iioider such u stare as they never had
before in Berks county. It was his charge
to investigate the lax collectors who have
wit duel J the taxpayers' funds from the
county treasurer for jirivate galu. In a con-(-
way be quoted the law, and eX phoned
the severe . iJi y for what liiestatut make
cmls-z.Ieiiieiif. '
" A tax collector,'' he said, " having once
misapplied the public funds, cunnot make
rcpanilioii by paying over the money any
more than a thief can be released by paying
over what he had stolen when he is overta
ken ill crime."' '
.. A wck ago Gvrge W. Kerslmer, colh-ctor
oftlicSi-Vrtiitli Ward, was charged with re
taining 10.000 iu taxes collected by him.
Iu a fe days he got together 2.i aud this
morning be paid iu $7,1. The grand jury
ho 'taken Judge Kniieut rout's advice
and directed a bill of indictment against him.
The case of George H. Reiilcr, of Amity, who
has $.''.,000 will also be acted ujiou.
(Jointly Treasurer Hoitzman was closeted
with the jury all iifterivsiu, mid bis Issiks
disclosed a worse state of affairs thuli the
new.-pacrs hud as yet discovered, and it is
likely a dozen or may lie a score of collectors
will lie indicted aud tried for emlM-zzIemcut.
Judge Ermentrotit'scliarge, which for fear
lessness has never been surpassed by a lierks
county Judge, acted like a iNUubshcil in the
corrtiptionist ring. Rcganling the county
commissioners' board, of which D. C. Kellar,
president of the Liquor League, is chairman,
he said : " The practice of borrowing money
for the use of the county aud paying interest
thereon while taxes are outstanding for an
unnecessary length of time is like burning a
candle ut both ends. It is unwise, is not
honest, it is not good government."
The grand jury will to-morrow begin in
vestigating the county commissioners cttice.
Rkuii.no. Pa., June 2i Tbe Berks county
grand jury, which has Is-en in session here
during the past week investigating frauds
among tax collectors, to-day returned bills of
indictment against eleven tax collectors, all
prominent citizens, for misappropriating and
misusing public funds, ranging in amount
from $5uo to $10,000, and aggregating nearly
$10,000. It is thought that about thirty oth
ers will also iie iudictisl.
Battle Between Fayette's Sheriff
and Hungarians.
Cossellsvillk, June 24. Ever since the
riot at Jimtown ut the beginning of the
present coke strike, there has been more or
less trouble in the region, and the attempt
to arrest any of the participants usually re
sults in ojien defiance of law, and resistance
to the otHit-rs. This morning Sheriff Miller,
accompanied by four or five deputies, went u
West heisenring to arrest some ofthe parties
implicated in the Jimtown riot.
The Sheriff made one arrest and was aliout
to leave, when he observed an immense
army of Hungarians advancing toward him,
with tue evident purfsise of making au
attack. There were between 200 and .'li iu
the horde of assailants, every one of whom
was " armed to the teeth." Some bore clubs
many flourished revolvers, w hile others dis
played knives which glistened iu the morn
ing sun as they were brandished aliout by
their ignorant owners. The scene was a very
startling one to the sheriff and tbe foreign
ers seemed to become more infuriated every
step that they advanced. They never baited,
bnt tfu need upon the officer and bis posse
and in a very few minutes seen red the re
lease of the prisoner, who made good his
escape. In the attack it is estimated that
some 400 shots were tired, the Huns ktvping
up a continuous tin-, w hile the sheriff and
his deputies poured the contents of Spring
field rifles into the attacking jmrty. Strange
to say only one s-ron was injured, but he
fatally. He belonged to the Huns and it is
supjiosed that he was shot by one of hisown
party." The ball entered m-ur the heart and
will prove fatal. The sheriff and his depu
ties ecaped without any injury. .
Pennsylvania Crops.
Hakkikui ru. Juno 21. Secretary Edge, of
the Pennsylvania State Board of Agriculture
says the wheat crop of this State witl lie the
smallest fir many years. The falling off is
attributed to dry weather at needing time
laif full, to m' ere frost und high w inds dur
ing the winter when the ground was bare,
und to damage ilmie by the fly. The yield is
estimated ut in.7Vi.'iio hu-diel from l.i'si.Oisi
acres
There will lie a fair crop of corn. The
area of oafs has been increased hecau-e many
wheat fields, owing to llie poor stand of tbe
tereal, were plowed np and sets led to
oats. About 1,1 l.,o0u acres have been devot
ed to oats. There w ill Is- an average crop of
grass.
Live stock is in good condition. Owing to
the large hay crop last year there has been
less loss from disease than in the last ten
years. The woo! clip is above the average.
Tbe quarantine of Cook county, HI., lias
caused a rush of thexe fitnlers into the mar
ket which has kept prices from making the
usual Mav rise.
The Supreme Court Bench.
Washihotos, Jnne 27. It is accepted us a
certainty now that Secretary Lamar is to
succeed Justice Woodson,the supreme bench.
Who .is to succeed Mr. Lamar is unceriai-t.
Mr. Lamar is 02 years old older than Mr.
Cleveland would like the new justice to lie
but he is active and able to till such a po
sition with honor, und the president has con
cluded that he is a suitable man for tlie po
sition. The senate committee, when they
rcxirtcd favorably upon the nomination of
Judge Merrick to tbe supreme bench of the
District of t 'oliunbij. adopted a resolution
fixing it as a rule of action that in the future
they would not report favorably upon any
one for such iiosilion who was over 00 years
old. Mr. Lamar, however, was but lately
their colleague, and senatorial courtesy would
duniuud that they violate this resolution in
bis case. SliouSd il hapieit otherwise, he
would find himself suddenly relegated to
private life.
The President and Mr. Endlcott.
. Wasuisuton, June 2j. Reports are in ac
tive circulation that the resignation of Secre
tary Endicott has been asked by the presi
dent. These rumors can be traced to sources
that ought lo Ik.- truntworthy, and then; is a
general belief that a cabinet row is in pro
gress over tbe tlag episle. The publication
of the opinion by Attorney General Garluiid
written only a month ago to the president on
the necessity for congressional action liefore
certain relics of the Lt family captured at
Arlington, could be returned, is regarded as
a parallel case wl.icli should have been used
as a precedent iu the flag episode.
Theprosiaition fo put Endicott out may
lie checked by the production of Garland's
opinion, us it leaves the responsibility for the
flag blunder squarely on the presiilent who
is proved to have hud warning and legal ud
vii ou a case almost identical with that pre
sented to him by Adjutant General Drum
and the secretary of war.
New York Republicans Score Cleve
land. New York, June 22. Tiie Republican
Club to-night passed resolutions stumping
the first order of the President, directing the
return of the flogs, as a direct violation of
law and contrary to usages ofthe nation and
as an indignity Ui the soldiers who fought
lo preserve the Union. They denounced Mr.
Cleveland's use of the term " Confederate
States," which term in the mouth or from
the pen of President Lincoln would, It was
believed, have resulted in his impeach
n rent.

Attemt to Deface Boston's Old State
. House.
--s Jfawros, June 22. An attempt was made
abont 'i o'clock this morning by a gang ot
lilns men to pull down the figure of the lion
and the unicorn which decorule the front of
the ol J State House. Whoever fastened the
ro-s to the effigies was etidetitly familiar
w ith... the building. The uldc disr Was for
ced and access to the roof was; gained.
When the roof is reached the di-.Uiice to tho
figures mentioned is eucominmscd with many
dangers, but they seemed to have been
braved by at least two men, one of whom
tastened a rope lo the lion and another man
a rotie to the unicorn. The basement is oc
cupied by the Mutual District Telegraph
Conqwuy, which t open all night. The
marauders locked the Mutual District em
ploye in before attempting their Work, The.
manager noticed the unusual sight of a num
ber of men iu tbe street pulling at ropes,
aud availed hiumrlfof aside-door which the
invaders did not know of As soon as lie
mode bis appearance the men at the ropes
fled. A detail of "climbing firemen was
necessary to remove the lines from the fig

connected with tbe antagonistic feeling tow
ard the celebration of the Queen's jubilee in
Fuueuil Hall last night.
A Peculiar Well.
Pakkehsbiro, W. Va., June 27. A man
named John Hughes, living near Fayette
ville, in this State, owns a well that is iu
itself a wonderful natural curiosity. His
farm is on a table land about l.ooo feet above
the bed of New river. Some years ago he
dug a well and reached water ut a depth of
thirty feet. Thjs well is near to New river.
It has never been known to go dry, but what
is most remarkable about it is the fact that
the column of water in it rises and falls
with New river. No matter how small or
how great tbe rise or fall in the river, this
well marks it exactly. Raftsmen who wish
to know the stage of New river come to this
well, saving often quite a long journey and
getting just as accurate a record. This pe
culiar condition of things is vouched for by
some of the best citizens of Fayette county.
