NEWPORT,
THURSDAY, AUGUST o, 1892.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
NO I'm A TION.
FOR PRESIDENT OF TIE UNITED STATES,
HENRY CLAY,
Of Kentucky;
FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE U. g.
JOHN SERGEANT,
of Pennsylvania.
NEWPORT,

The Legislature of this State met in
this town on. Tuesday last, ugrecably to
adjournment--the two houses formed
quorum at 10 o'clock and joined in Grand
Committee tc receive the proxy votes for
General Officers, and appointed COM
mittee to count the votes.
Henry Bull, esq. presented mcmori-
al signed by himself and some ten or a
dozen Jackson men, praying that the
votes Of the town of Newport might be
rejected, because Henry Y. Cranston,
esq. who acted as moderator of the town
meeting in July, was not at that time a
frecholder in contemplation of law, the
Deed Of his real estate not being on re-
cord.-It was also alleged in the memo. .
rial, that the vote of the said Cranston
was challenged and he required to take
the oath presented in the 9th sec. of the
election law, and was received without
his taking the oath.
The trial of the petition occupied the
Grand Committee until near O'Clock in
the evening.--A number Of witnesses
were examined, among whom were sew
erul Of the petitioners, who swore that
they knew nothing of the statements in
the petition except what had been told
them by Mr. Bull and others.--The Hon.
C. G.. Champlin swore expressly to that
fact.
From the testimony it appeared, that
when Mr. Cranston was nominated for
moderator, Mr. Bull objected to him be-
cause he was not legally qualified to act
in that capacity, inasmuch as the evil
dence of his freehold was not on record.
Mr.. Cranston stated that he owned suf-
ficicnt freehold, and that his Deed was
lodged with the town clerk for record,
which was afterwards testified to by the
town clerk. When his vote was chal-
lenged by Mr. Bull he was asked by
Benz. Hazard esq. if the challenge were
made for want Of sufficlency of estate, OF
on suspicion of the Deeds being fraud
ulent, but he refused to nnswer.-Ml
Cranston expressed his entire willingness
to take the oath, but it was objected by
Mr. Hunter, who convinced the frecmeI
and the moderator, that under the Law
no one had the power to administer tho
oath to the moderntor.-The objection
TO the vote was waived by consent ant
the vote was rcceivcd.-It was not pre-
tended but that Mr. Cranston had bon'
fds deed of sufficient estate.
The petitioners were heard at consid
erable length by Messrs. Turner an
Hunter, and the subject was discussed j
the Committee by Messrs Tillinghas
Hazard, Simmons, Brayton, and +. II
Potter; all of them agreeing that ther
was no objection to counting the votes

With great respect, sc.
WIN. TURNER.
DIR. J. c. WARREN, Boston:

p. S.-This town has been unusually
healthy since the lst of July; circum-
stantial evidence Of which is, that with a
population exceeding eight thousand,
only six deaths have occurred during the
month-exclusivc of the above two chol-
era cases-two of them were Of stran-
gers, one of whom arrived here but a few
days previous to his decease III the last
stage of protracted liver complaint, and
the other was the victim of pulmonary
consumption--of tho remaining four
deaths, one was instantaneously killed by
n stroke of lig ghtning. W. T.
Since the death Of the two Cholera ca
scs in Spring street, above described, we
have heard Of three other fatal cases of
bowel complaint, occurring in one iami-
ly in this town, (the mother and two chill
dren) pronounced by the attending ply
sicians to be spasmodic cholera.
Whatever may have been the immedi-
ately exciting cause in these instances,
we have no reason to doubt that the sub
jects were predisposcd IN the highest de-
gree TO be affected with severe bowel
complaint, by causes confined to the
spot, calcclated to produce the most Of
tensive and unwholesome cxhalations.
This, we understand was evident to
the physicians and other persons who
went to the house before it was cleansed
who found the foul air there generated d
excessively offensive.
A suitable Asylum, we are happy to
learn, has since been provided upon the
airy hill part Of the town, for the rccep'
ton of destitute and unfortunate persons
similarly c,rcumstanced with the family y
above alluded to, if any such cases should
occur.

Yesterday, about / o'clock. during the
middle vacation Of my school, one mile and
a half from this place, the children were
suddenly driven TO the house. to seek shell
tea from An approaching cloud; but alas! the
asylum which they sou@ht could not sh,cld
them from the subtle lu,d, with winch the
cloud was surcharged Al The moment they
reached The house, there ,9as 80 hide rain
that the boys remained outside, the girls
were in the house wife me. Ga hearing the
thunder, which was not at that timc alarm

occurrence which had but a few days before,

burst with a crash, and the liquid steam Of
fire descended upon the Chimney OF me
house. For a moment after, all was stIll as
death! then followed the heart renting
shrieks OF the PROSTATE, ali lighted children.
Ga recovering from the shock, having N.Y.
self sustained but little injury, (only a little
PAIN ia one foot, which prevented my rising
for several minutes,l my fist emotions were
those OF gratitude TO God for sp4ring my
lie. Ihe first object that presented itself,

OF the little girls lying on her face in the
fire place, apparently lieless, another on the
Roor crying for help, being unable torise;-
three boys outside the house were struck
aown and crying aloud for aid; the others
fled Immediately, except one who remained
with me
With the assistance Of a negro man who
had taken refuge IN The house, from the rain,
which was then falling in torrents, and the
youth who remained with me, the boys out
side tho house were taken in, and all the aid
in our power afforded TO them. But the
most affecting part Of this narrative rs yet to
be told An interesting son OF Mr.. Abraham
Jones, a near ncighbour] about 10 years old,
had just returned from dinner. and was
standing IN the corner Of the chimney when
the lightning struck it,. Ia tie twlnkIlug of
