The Louisville 0iiritr-Jtriiil, that is
undoubtedly high Democratic uuthority,
after scanning the result of the late elec
tion in Kentucky says:
" There is no sort of question that Re
publican sentiment is growing in the
mountain counties. It is highly probable
that the next Congressional delegation
front this State will contain four Repub
licans." The State of Henry Clay is now repre
sented iu Congress by Free-Traders, but
the seed of Protection sown in his life
time :s again sprouting from the ground
and in good time will bring forth an
abundant harvest. S-ctionalism cannot
much longer keep Kentucky in thraldom

ami as Mr. Byvle's future jiolitical and

this struggle, it will lie extremely dillicult
for either gentleman to procure a nomi
nation. Mcanw hile the Democratic par

eens with the factional light that rages
hotly and bitterly, and the probabilities
are that Mr. Ew ing, the Republican can
didate who lias been appointed to the
position by tiuvernor Beaver will secure
the prize, although the district is politic
ally over two thousand against him.
Tue Prohibitionists of this SUte held
their Convention at llarrisburg on
Wednesday of last week, and nominated
Simon B. Chase, of Easton, for Judge of
the Supreme Court and Dallas C. Irish, of
New Castle for State Treasurer. Charles
S. Wolf, was pn.-sideut of the Convention,
and of course its controlling spirit. A
platform containing several flagrant mis
statements and untruths was adopted,
and all the aid and comfort Nihle to
bestow, was given to the iK-niocratic
party. The 1'iohit.it ion jmrty of Penn
sylvania has become an " Assistant Iicm
ocratic party," and is devoting its ener
gies more to the attempted overthrow of
the Republican party than to the ad
vanceuient of the cause it pntfesses to
have at heart. Its right to do. as seeiueth
lHst to it, is undisputed. Its jMiwer.
however, is limited by its virulence, and
the fact that it is being used by iHkiji
lointed demagogues to accomplish their
own political aims. The genuine temper- j
ance people of the State are now here in j
sympathy with it. :
The Republicans of Maryland met in j

containing niillionsof gallonsof water. This
underground lake was 570 ft below thesur
Ciee. The chamber where the men were at
work was ISO feet further down and alsiut
the same distance from the mined galleries.
The first intimation these men had that

appearance of water in the chambers. As it
iiKreacd in depth many hurriedly quit
work and rushed to the liottom of the shaft.
By this time a regular exishis from all arts
of the colliery set in, the miners wading
through water breast high before the last of

fell hack Uin the erpeuilicular sword.
Then the two fishes tackled each other,
dashing the water to a great height in their
fury. Presently the black fish was seen to
leap again. Its stomach was rip-d ien
and its entrails hung down several feet. The
sword fish, who had got in his tine work,
again apjieared under his victim. When the
black tish again fell into the water the sword

by the local Salvation Army organization

rows were inaugurated, but nothing serious
transpired until a dog tight was started by
the owners of two curs. This attracted a
large crowd and In the midst of the canine
controversy a dispute started between John

out, w hen Mayes shot him through the heart
with a revolver, death being iustantatiteous.

time ast confiajed in the Louisville jail, is
gradually starving himself to diuth. This
is the eighth day of bis fast. For two days
he has lain face downward on his not, nut
vouchsafing a wonl to anyone and not even
touching in all that tirao a drop of water.
This morning a liasket of luscious fruit wan
brought to his cell by thoughtful friends, but
he refused to rat and all persuasion is lost
upon him. During the past week he has
been reduced in flesh thirty pounds .and he
is too weak to walk alone. His cell-mates
are confident he is not feigning ilisanity and
that if he cannot Isj made to partake of food
he will not rive a week. ' '
A Horrible Death.
Wn.KCBARRR. Pa., Aug. 36. At 10 o'clock
this morning. Miner ieorge Kyere. a Ortuan
aged 50 years, and a man of family, met
with a horrible death in tbe jay lord slope
of the Kingston coal company, at Plyiaonth.
He was engaged at tlie time in lamping a
drill-hole iu a breast of anthracite, with
powder, prior to blasting. Tlie proceeding
is always a dangerous one, and great care is
generally taken in the work. The drill usid
by Kyere was six feet long and an inch and
a half in diameter. While pounding the
powder vigoniusly it ignited by friction, and
caused a loud explosion. When the neigh
boring miners ran to see what had caused
the trouble, they found F.yere lying on bfs
bark, having been blown some dtstan-e
away, his drill having passed ent inily i hroairh
his right breast, just under the shoulder. He
was dead and covered with blood. His body
was sent to the surface and carried to his
grief-stricken family. ; . , . , .

Queer Freaks of Lightning.
Owosso, Mich., Aug. 25. During a storm
on Tuesday night the bouse' of William
Ketchum. near here, was struck by light
ning, which played some very unusual
pranks. The electricity entered the boose
by the chimney and shattered tlie stove ;
then ms about tlie main room, tearing the
nails from the carpets, the pictures from the
walls aud tlie curtains from the windows.
The moulding around the room from which
the pictures hung was split into fragments.
Many fine pieces, the door-casings and win
dow cases were as though they had been
run throngh a kindling wood machine,
but few of -the window-panes were brii
kcn. In the antry of the house every
article of crockery was broken and theshelves
of the closet shattered into splinters. There
was no burning, no blackening, and no
thunder or uoise accompanied or followed
the work of the element except the noise of
the split wood. .
Nine (s r-ons were at supper, aud all felt a
slight, but not an unpleasant shock. They
sat paralya-d with astonishment and fright
for several moments. Yesterday and to-day
a nu tnl s'r of persons visited the house out
of curiosity and brought away a large basket
of the fine splinters made by the lightning.
A cat in the shed adjoining the house was
killed.
Dying By Thousands.
Wichita. Tex., Aug. 23. It is said tliaf
the nuiorts of the loss of cattle in the tipper
Panhandle, b.v. tlie caiital syndicate, have
not beeu in tlie least exaggerated. The com
pany has thousands, more cattle than it has
water to supply, and they are dying by the
ihuusanils.
One employe of the syudieale said yester
day that the losses for the previous 22 days
would average n0 per day, aud at one large
well a herd of cattle, crazed by thirst, crow
ded on the coverings of the well, -which gave
way, actually filling the well with strug
gling cattle. Seventy-three head were after
ward dragged out of tlie well.
The almost entire absence of winds for
some weeks ast lias kept the wind mills
from pumping water, thus cutting off almost
tlie entire supply. The syndicate has ship
ped a large numlier of horse-tower mills
from here in the past ten days, and as
soon as they can be put in there will be plen
ty of water. Heavy rains are rcHrted in
Lubbock, Hale and Borden counties, filling
all the surface water holes, but no word has
been received from as far north as the syndi
cate ranch.

Pkkveh, Col., Aug. 28 The I'te war situ
ation as far as can be learned, is unchanged
since yesterday. Word has been received
that 6UU I'tes are camped near Thursday's
battlefield and are held back by two conqia
nies of regulars. It is known that the In
diana who took part in the fight were true
I'tes White river Uintah Utes and L'ncom
pahgres and that if necessary over
reinforcements can be raided from this trilie.
The Uucompahgrcs Indians are a very hot
headed race and if their eople were killed
Thursday it is tared the entire trilie will
taae the matter up and precipitate it into a
long and bloody war. If the Indians do not
attack tbe whites before the arrival of Gov.
Adams and Gen. t Took to-morrow there are
hopes that the trouble will be settled. Lieut.
Folsom of Aspen, who was woumled H-ri-ously
during the engagement, died Friday

Millions of Dead Fish.
Galen a, Lll Aug. 2u. Within tin- past
two or three days tlie fish in many ! the
streams in this section have died by tbe
million. The banks of the Galena river and
branches are lined with dead fish of all sizes
and varieties, from the liny minnow to the
catholic cat and sturgeon. At Ihincombe,
Wis., a few miles from this place, dead fish
are so numerous on the luniks that the
stench arising from them is almost milara
hle. At I.aiicaster, Wis., the scene on the
river bank beggars ikcription, upwards of
fifty wagon-hals of dead hVh being in sight.
There are numerous theories alloal as to the
cause ; one is that the recent rains have tilled
the water with mud, so that the fish have
been unable to braithe, and struggling to the
surface for air have died. Another is that
during the hot, dry summer the valleys and
marshes above were tilled with some poi
sonous growth that with the recent ths
were carried into the streams and poisoned
tlie water. '
