MANSFIELD.

MANSFIELD, Ohio, August o.-Our
city was thrown into high state of ex-
element about a quarter after FIVE this
morning by the shooting of John Nc
CURE by bold and daring burglar, who
entered the clearinghouse of B. Flan-
merry for the purpose of stealing what
ever of value he could get his hands on.
He succeeded in going through one room
and relieving T. Hogan of his watch
and twenty-seven dollars in money, af-
ter which he entered the room Of John
Mcclure, who awoke at his entrance,
and inquired Of him what he wanted, to
which he replied that he was in the
Court house, whereupon Mcclure
sprung from his bed and grasped him,
when the thief drew a revolver, which
Mcclure succeeded in knocking out Of
his hand, when they clinched and fell.
Mcclure called for help, and one Of the
boarders coming to the door and seeing
them and a revolver, which the thief
succeeded in getting hold Of again, went
out, whereupon he shot Mcclure, the
shot taking effect about two inches be-
low the left nipple, wounding him NOR
tally. After that the murderer sprung
through the window on to porch and
made good his escape. Mr.. Flannery
and two of the boarders pursued him in
their night-clothes for about half mile
when they gave up the chase and re-
turned. Then the fire-alarm bells we're
sounded, which brought out great
many citizens, who started at once to
scour the woods in different directions,
but up to this time, 5 P. NJ, have not
succeeded in capturing him.
Mcclure, though still alive, can not
possibly live. He is a man about thirty
five years of age, and unmarried.
Hon. John b. Netscher, Mayor Of the
city, has offered a reward of three hum
dred dollars for the capture Of the muir
derer. A large meeting Of citizens was
held at the Courthouse this afternoon
for the purpose of deyising upon some
plan for his capture. Pickets were ap.
pointed to go out some six or eight miles
and guard all roads, as he will be apt tc
take the highway, having left his shoes
and hat in his fight, and of course
would not travel in the woods barefoot
ed. The excitement runs high, and
there is strong talk Of lynching him il
caught. kilograms have been sent al
over the country.

HEAVY DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN
THE SOUTHERN STATES.

RALEIGH, N. c., August Large
Democratic gains are reported from
every section. Wake county has gone
Democratic by a gain Of some Goo
votes. The State has gone largely
Democratic, with almost certainty Of
seven out of the eight Congressional
districts. The Legislature will be large
ly Democratic. 4..,.. .. ,~aE
There is great rejoicing and much en-
thusiasm among the Conservatives.
Business is generally suspended, every
one being eager to obtain the latest
news. aip. 0,U3f sH.r Hir..
The State is Democratic by from ten
thousand to twenty thousand majority.
Seven Democratic Congressman out Of
eight have been elected. There is a
Democratic gain of some twenty in the
Legislature. There has been great re-
joicing in the city, public speaking in
the streets throughout the day, and the
booming of cannon. Wake county is
Democratic for the first time in fourteen
years. ~ r..uJ .iR 1aI
THE RETURNS ALL ONE WAY, ,l
WILMINGTON, N. c., August 1.-THE
returns received to-day from all over
the State are confirmation of last
nights dispatches. The Conservatives
have swept the State like whirlwind
The Legislature is Conservative by a
largely increased majority. In this (the
Fourth Tudiciall district the majority for
Mckay Conservative will probably
reach 500 or 100. The returns now
coming in are all one way. 1t is impos
sible to estimate correctly the majority
for the State ticket, but it will probably
reach 900.

KENTUCKY

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 1o.-A spec
ial to the Courier Journal says: D. B.
Main, jeweler, in Midway, Woodford
county, KY, while on his way home
last evening, was seized by four masked
men, and no trace of him has since
been found. Evidences of a struggle
were found in the neighborhood where
he was seized, and tits probable he was
murdered and his body hid. A man,
who, hearing Mains cries, came to his
rescue and was driven back with threats
of death. Several negroes little later
saw the men carrying Main away. He
was struggling and groaning. 1t is not
known whether the object Of the mur'
der was robbery or revenge.

TENNESSEE ELECTIONS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August y The
Conservative victory yesterday is much
larger than was supposed by the most
sanguine supporters, the Conservatives
having carried every ward in the city
except the Sixth. which only gave a ma
jority of 20 for the Republicans. The
Conservative majority in the city is s.
5o3, and the total vote is 10000, or about
1000 more than the ordinary vote.
This is accounted for on the ground Of
the hostility to the Civil Rights bill and
mixed schools, and business being al
most entirely suspended all went to the
polls. The Conservative majority in
the county will be over 1900.

SERIOUS RIOT IN AUSTIN

Of no forest tree Of Stark county Of which we did
not see some specimens; nor, on the other hand,
did we notice any forest tree of Kentucky which
does not grow also in Stark county, except the
pine. We found the latter the predominant forest
tree in some places; growing tall, straight and
beautiful; and other localities which we did not
see were reported to be heavily timbered with
magnificent pines
The Mountainous and hilly regions Of Kentucky
and Tennessee have long been noted for their sa-
lubrity Probably no part of the United States be-
tween the two oceans Is healthier, or furnishes
more cases, in proportion to population, OF extra
ordinary longevity. The climate also is among
the best The extreme heats of summer are not
so intense as farther north, while the winters are
shorter and, for the most part, mild.
There Is one feature which we noticed as char
acterstic of the people, that deserves particular
mention II Is that the women and children do
the larger part of the work that gets done at ALL
The grown men either lounge lazily about or
amuse themselves at little gatherings here and
there; or else they perform only the least repug-
nant labors. Here we found, in actual use in eve
ry family, the old spinning wheel, and in many
the little wheel and distaif which men of our age
remember that our mothers used when we were
children fifty or sixty years ago. The yarn is here
woven into cloth by the hand loom, and lax is
spun as It then was by our mothers for the men
will not buy anything which the labor OF women
and children can make, In one field we saw two
women pulling up by theroots the fax which was
doubtless destined to the distaf of the domestic
household to which they belonged Ihe iuel
used for cooking is bits of wood gathered by wo-
men and children from the neighboring forest
AT the only place where we had light to sit by In
the evening South of the Cumberland) It was
light made on the hearth by blazing pine spliners
gathered in the same way. These are specimens
Of their entire system Of industry.
But now that the Cincinnati Southern Railway
Is about to penetrate into the land of these Old
forest homes, we may anticipate that amore OF
less rapid change will take place, and that these
staqnant abodes will awake to new life. This
road Is being graded from the Ohio river through
Kentucky and some distance into Tennessee,
From Somerset south our route lay very near that
of the railroad all the way, and the contractors
shanties and their work are already beginning to
give an air of activity to the rugged wilderness.
When the road Is completed 1t will open TO the
markets of the world not only an immense min
eral region but also vast tracts of forest in which
the quantity of lumber now appears almost mex
haustible. In few years this part of Kentucky
will wear new face, inasmuch as q progressive
and enterprislng population will be added to the
stationary and sluggish one which has so long oc-
cupled It to so little purpose. ..... .f,T

named Hamilton, while attending the

something, stood upon a bench and
flourished a pistol. Thomas Shaw, one

him, and coaxing him out of doors.
When outside, Shaw told him the pen
atty of the law for his offense, where
upon Hamilton shot Shaw through the
head. The congregation came out,

there being no telegraph office nearer

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 1.-THE
election in Knoxville and throughout
Knox county yesterday was the most ex-
citing for many years. Horace May
nard III ide two speeches during the can
vass, indorsing the Civil Rights bill as
party measure. Senator Brownlow was
openly hostile to the bill, which he
termed the sum of villainies and quint-
essence of denominations. The result Of
the election was a complete revolution
throughout the city and county, with
sweeping majorities for the Conservative
anti-Civil Rights ticket. The city was
wild with Joy last night, and the country
people are crowding into the town to-
day rejoicing over the unexampled vic
tory.
