SECOND EDITION
sTIIE MILL MEETING DENIED.

MIR. PHILLIPS DENIES THAT HIS MILL
WAS Used FOR a POLITICAL MEET
ING.
Mr.. Joseph IL. Phillips called on us
this morning and requested us to say
that III" rumor published in the GA
NILE . thursday, TO the effect that
meetil.s. of the Ring Republicans
was held in Price & Phillips mill, last
Sunday afternoon, was wholly untrue
and that no such meeting was held.
He says that the mill was locked up
all day and that he carried the key.
Further, that our authority for the
statement (Which we had considered
reliable) was either misinformcd, or
willfully deceived us.
The article alluded to is as follows;
"RCMoRs Or THE RING--TGE SLATE
FOR NEXT FALL PARTIALLY FINED
ltumor says that the Ring is not dead
yet, and rumor further says that on
Sunday afternoon last meeting of the
leaders, was held in Phillips mill, on
the Brandy wine. The slate which
they partially fixed up is said to be as
follcw
Frr Ma, or--Joshua 5. Valentine.
For President of Council-M. l..
Lichtcnstein.
For City Auditor-Captain +. ].
Doughcrty.
For member of Council from Seventh
| Ward Jos. Il. Phillips.
The great difficulty which the con-
ference could not get over was how to
get rid of ex-Trcasurcr Killgore, who,
they fear, will damage Valentines $
chances for the Mayoralty nomination
Some one proposed that Valentine
should attempt to buy him off by prom
ising to make him Chief of Police, but
they will hardly be able 20 capture the
ex-Treasurer with such small bait.
Capt. Gallagher, so rumor says, is
not to take an active part i'll the cnsn.
ing city campaign. The redoubtable
Captain desires to be the Centennial
candidate for Sheriff, on the Republi
can ticket, and is bending all his ener
gies TO this end. Success to you Cap
tain as far as the nomination is concern
ed; after that the Democrats of the CITY
and county will attend to your case. ,
Capt Gallagher called on us, yes
terday, and said that he desired it tc
be understood that he is out of politics
and will not be u Centennial candidate
for Sheriff, or for any other position
de is in the Poudrcttc business now
and all that he desires is to sell plent,

who lives in this place. states that about
three o'clock on Thursday morning An
drews came to his house and begged for
bread, which George gave to him after
some delay. On Thursday morning a
search was made, and he was found in
the lott OF the negro meeting house.
STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Andrews says that he saw his wife fall,
and that he then ran to the church and
climbed to HE loft-where he had been

to the Department from the Black

the army can do. The army can order
away miners where 1t finds them, but

Halifax, Aug. IA report is in
which was committed two years ago,
and has only now come to light from
the confession of a sailor named Green
wood. He states that the schooner
May E. Jones sailed from Clyde river,
Shelbourne county, for Boston, and
two sisters named Sutherland were
passengers. Shortly after sailing the
two women were brutally outraged by
the captain and crew, then killed and
their bodies thrown overheard. The
crew afterwards landed in boats and
reported that the vessel met with very
heavy weather and was thrown on her
beam ends, and that the two young
women were drowned in the cabin.
The vessel subsequently drifted into
Darlington Bay with the deck load
still on, and no appearance of her hav-
+ ing been on her beam ends were vis-
BILE, and no bodies were found in the
cabin. The captains name was Swain,
and he is now bound for a New
Brunswick port, where he will
be arrested on his arrival. One OF the
crew was lately arrested at Shelburne,
but the magistrate considered the evil
dence insufficient to warrant his COM
initial. Thare is much excitement in
the country about the matter. Green
woods only excuse for not before
telling the truth is that the sailors
compelled him to take an oath that he
would never divulge the criue.
