10 attend Mr.. Scott. At DR.. &. 9 first visit,
last Saturday, he prescribed for intermittent
fever, having FIRST inquired about the sore
hand, and being told that it had nearly
healed. The next day, however, he found
Mr.. Scott suffering with raging fever and
covered with s'button farcy." The disease
was unmistakably "glanders," and had been
communicated from the glandered horse
through the break in the skin of the hand.
Mr.. Scott suffered the most fearful agony and
delirium throughout the day, and into the
night Of Sunday, when death ensued. Cases
Of persons suffering from ''glanders'' are
very rare, but occur often enough to remind
horsemen that the proper way to deal with q
horse suffering from this fatal disease is to
have him killed at once. A horse may have
chronic s'glanders" and live long time,
keep fat and work without difficulty, yet in
oculate man and beast with the deadly virus
that is slowly sapping his existence Cecil

An 1mpud.nt Robbery.
The hotel Of Sylvester Clements, Esq, at
Summit Bridge. was robbed last Tuesday
night under circumstances Of the most i'm
pudent and outrageous character. About II
o'clock that night two men drove across the
bridge from the northern side, and in short
time returned and hitched their horses and
walked back to the southern side. They
then went 10 Mr.. Clements house and asked
for and obtained lodgings for the night and
retired. In little while after two other
men came to the hotel under the pretense Of
getting drinks, and were joined by the former
two from up stairs. The party then told Mr..
G. that they were q. S. detectives and charg-
ed him with circulating counterfeit money,
and seizing him, hand-cuffed him and en-
forced silence upon him by placing loaded
pistol to his head. The bartenders room
was also visited and the inmate served in the
same manner. The rascals then ransacked
the house and robbed it Of 5000 in money
and other valuables. Having accomplished
their object they started for their teams on
the other side of the bridge, but were sur
prised to find the draw turned of, preventing
their passage. They called to the bridge
tender but Mr. Kane's suspicious had been
aroused by their above mentioned maneuvres
and be refused to put the bridge on, and
finding they could not get across they left on
foot. In the meantime the bartender sue
ceeded in freeing himself from his handouts
and raised an alarm too late however to cap
ture the plunderers who had made their es-
cape. Mr.. Clements and his bartender are
generally the only occupants Of the house
which fact was probably known to the
robbers.
1t has been since ascertained that two of
the men hired the team in Wilmington, at
Dickinson b Bros livery stable, under the
pretense Of taking some ladies to New Castle.
Messrs. Dickinson & Bro. at first refused to
hire them the team but were induced to do SO
on the recommendation of Eugene Whitlock.
The team was returned to its owners by Mr..
Clements, on Wednesday morning. No clue
has yet been obtained to the burglars.

Store.
To the Public /;


To accommodate our growing manufactur-
ing interests we have built large additions TO
our Buildings in Smyrna where we will short
ly remove our shoe machinery. From this
some have inferred that we would relinquish
our RETAIL Boot and Shoe trade here. We
gratefully acknowledge generous support
from this community, and assure them that
the STORE will be continued, and, by em-
ploying cheap home labor and home-tanned
leather and morocco, make shoe that will
give the most wear and comfort for the least
money. Our stores require the labor Of about
twenty five persons throughout the year, and
keep about Sis, 600 at home that would other
wise 60 to prosper some other locality. We
have made some mistakes, all manufacturers
will, but we shall use materials of known su-
periority in the several grades of our shoes
hereafter. We are supplying most of the best
trade around Smyrna and here, and filing
orders from many of DeHaven's former Gus
TONERS all over the Peninsula. We will give
you an exhibition of Boots and Shoes of our
own make at the coming FAIR, and will ask
a verdict and continuation Of your patron
age. Very respectfully,

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES IN INDIANA
AND WEST VIRGINIA..
OHIO STICKS TO HAYES

The tremendous excitement and po-
litical enthusiasm which has racked the
states Of Ohio, Indiana and West Vir-
ginia for some months past, eliminated
in one Of the hardest fought election
battles, on Tuesday last, that has ever
taken place in this country. The con-
test was exceedingly close; in many
districts so much so as to require the
official vote to decide it. Enough, how
ever, has been obtained to render it
pretty certain that the Democrats have
carried Indiana and West Virginia by
large majorities, and the Republic
cans Ohio, though by somewhat de-
creased majorities.
Nearly complete returns from Ohio
indicate the election of Mr.. Barnes. the
republican candidate for secretary Of
state, by about 5000 majority, and the
remainder Of the republican ticket by
majorities ranging from 5000 to 5000.
Of the Congressional districts the re-
publicaus have carried - and the dem
ocrats 8-a republican gain Of 5 con-
gressmen. The Legislature il also re-
publican.
Returns from nearly all the counties,
official or otherwise authentic, indicate
that Mr.. Williams, the democratic can
didate for Governor, is elected by over
5000 majority, and the rest Of the dem
ocratic state ticket by between 5000 and
1900 Of the delegation in the next
congress the democrats will have three
members and the republicans seven.
The fourth district is still 10 doubt. The
republicans will have q small majority
in both branches Of the Legislature.
WEST VIRGINIA.
The entire democratic ticket is elect
ed, including the three representatives
in congress, by majorities ranging from
5000 to 10, 900, which it is thought, will
be increased, perhaps to $4,000. The
democrats have large majority Of the
Legislature, which will secure the elect
ion Of two democrats to the U. s. Sen
ate to supply the places Of Senators
