The Republican Mass Meeting.

On Friday evening the first of the
campaign oratory that has taken
place in this county occurred in Sill
yer. As had been announced, Tom
Wren and Charley belong addressed
our people on the issues of the cam
paign. A stand had been prepared
and placed in the most eligible place
ON Main street, flags were hung, and
band of music from Virginia en-
livened the scene. At half past seven
Frank Kenyon called the meeting to
order. J. NJ. McGinnis was elected
chairman and E. L. Colnon secretary
Mr.. McGinnis, with a close obser-
vance of the prophecies of the bust
ness, made no tiring remarks, but at
once introduced the speaker Of the
evening, Mr.. Wren. Mr.. Wren's dis
course was from beginning to end a
logical treatment of the political
questions that now most interest the
public. If his remarks were printed
they would even carry more convic-
ton with them than they did as they
proceeded from the speaker. Mr..
Wren is noted more in his profession
for depth of reasoning than for fine
finish and floridity of speech. He is
the same on the stump. His audi
ence on this occasion were most at
tentive, and remained with scarcely
an individual exception to the close
the highest honor that can be paid
to an orator, beng respectful and in
teresting attention.
Mr.. Belongs address was IN his
usual familiar style. He was free in
home hits and points that were so
plain that the most obtuse could not
help but feel them. Mr.. belong
always captures the attention of an
audience and has mack of holding
it until he is finished. On this occa-
sion it was the same. The meeting
as whole was most ominous show
ing for the Democrats.

RESISTING AN OFFICER.
A Citizen Forcibly Demurs to a
Legal Process and Is Shot In
the Neck.

Jack Noble received an attachment
to serve on Greeley French, who
operates sulphurets saving appara-
tus about half mile from Silver,
by the side of the Dayton road. The
attachment was issued out of
r, Gould's Court, and was for SAG IS
for labor performed by j A. Hodge.
3 The Constable found Mr.. French at
home when he called to serve the
attachment, but he was so wildly
demonstfstive, SD threatening and so
angry that the Constable concluded
to come back to the Court and get
advice on what was best to do. The
Court told him that he must serve
the papers, and he then proceeded to
do so. In order to have witness to
what might transpire, the Constable
asked Frank Miller to accompany
him down to the place. Arrived
there, the two were met by French
aud his wife. who endeavored to pre-
vent the service of the papers. The
attachment was tucked upon a por-
ton of the frame of q wster-wheel
with no further annoyance than high
words. When the officer and his
companion turned to go away, how
ever, Mrs. French rushed upon them
with rocks in her hauds. Mr.. Miller
received one of the rocks on the side
of his head aud was knocked down.
He now bears striking marks of the
blow aud the subsequent fall. The
officer was hit upon the back of the
head aud had his coat badly torn
by the irate Mrs. French. The latter
received n blow, as she says, from
the hammer which the officer had to
tack the paper up with. She was
yesterday unable to appear in Court
in consequence Of the wound.
SHOT IN THE NECK.
When Mrs. French. wcarying of
her encounter with the officer and his
companion, retired, her husband
rushed suddenly upon them. He
caught the officer by the lapels of
his coat and was shaking him up,
when the latter drew his revolver
and attempted TO use it as club.
He struck French IN the back part
of the head, the weapon being dis
charged at the same time. The ball
passed through Frencl's neck, Just
below the base of the brain. intlict-
ing q painful wound. This ended
the encounter and tine attaching
party and the attacking party each
retired. The officer was Subsequent
ly put under bonds to appear yester-
day at 10 O'Clock before Judge
Gould. Major Foote OF Virginia
was present at that hour to defend
and District Attorney Keith to prose-
cute. The complaining witness.
French, was also on hand. Mrs.
French, being unable tosbe present,
the case was continued till Thurs
day at ii A. n. The attorneys
Visited the scene Of the difficulty
ana saw the woman, whom they
found lying with her head bandaged
up aud in q state Of great nervous ex-
element. The case, altogether, is
rather q singular one. 1t is singular
that man Of French's understand
ing should resist an officer in the act
Of serving properly authorized
papers. Whatever defense he has to
offer for his conduct will be brought

On THE SLIDE.-Sleighing was the
sensation in the city yesterday, and all
the day, from sunrise till midnight, the
jingling bells made music through the
town. Those who engaged in the de-
lghtful sport gave great deal of amuse-
ment to the boys and afforded many ludi-
crous scenes to the people who quietly
sazed from their windows upon the
Lively spectacle in the street. Among
the great variety OF sleighs brought into
service, there were many improrised
runners, rude in fashion. Carriages and
buggies were taken of their wheels and
fastened 10 common seld-runners,
while in some instances few pieces of

made quite an impression on the persons
who braved The storm and inclemency to
attend: such an impression as to result in

The singers are colored people and the
songs of the style peculiar tothem. In
some respects the singing was superior to
that of the Tennesseeans, and in all
respects decidedly meritorous. Mrs.

THERE was little row at Third ward
household yesterday morning, at just
about the proper time for rising. Those
few warm days had deceived both her
and Kim, and they thought spring had
come for sure. They talked it over, and
she said that as warm weather had come
and be had been SO goody-gocdy all win
ter, she would assume the duties of start
ing the morning fire. All went smooth
~ until this last cold snap, but even then
all appeared calm and serene, as she
though. it would not last but day or so.
Butyesterday morning capped the climax,
and when the hour of rising came, she
touched him on the shoulder and said,
John, guess you mad better get up this
morning" John demurred and said
she was breaking the agreement. Now,
John, agreement or no agreement,
want you 10 get up" 81 won't" said
John. you won't eh?" said she. NO
l won't" said he. The words were no
sooner spoken, than her back was against
the cold wall and her feet against his
back, and John landed on the opposite
side Of the room. "Well, l guess you
will, said she, and now that agreeme nt
will have to be gone through with again.

THE DEATH OF aUINLAx.
The Cor0ner's Inquest-Postpore O
ment Of the Examtnation Of Mrs.
Robinson Until this Morning.

Inc SOEOncTb AnYoeSs~E OstpOHo-
ment Of the Examination Of Mrs. !
Robinson Until this Morning.
Yesterday morning the REGISTER con-
tanned full and complete account of
the shooting Of Pat Quinlsn BY Mrs.
Robinson. We also said that there was
little or no hope of his recovery, and his
death yesterday morning at y o'clock,
confirmed that report. Quinlan was
taken from the Columbia House about
seven o'clock to the Hospital, where he
died shortly after his arrival.
Justice OKeefe was notified Of the
event, and he Immediately had jury
summon ed to hold an inquest over the
body. The following persons composed
the jury: Thomas j. Edwards, foreman,
Matthew Altmeyer, Henry Smith, Philip
Medert, Jacob Tucker, William Davis,
George Echart, William Hardenstein,
Henry Michel, Thomas Burk, Stanford
Albertson and William Macer.
The jury requested a post morten ex-
animation OF the body, and it was made
by Doctors Galligan and Ulrich. DR., Gal
ligan, after an examination of the wounds,
stated that the ball entered about an inch
to the left of the messiah line of the
abdomen. just below the cartilage Of the
ribs, passing little downward and
toward tho right 1t penetrated the
ascending colon near its junction with the
traverse colon. Thence, striking rib it
glanced to the left pen etrating the small
intestines After. this it passed toward
the left, penetrating the upper half of the
kidney, passing through the kidney, en-
crying on the outer side of the lower half
of the kidney, whence it was not traced,
/ but, from its course, the doctor sup
posed it to have passed down and
lodged IN the large pelvic muscle. DR..
Gslligan said any of the four wounds in
in the intestines was sufficient to cause
death, either directly Or by producing in
flamation. Quinlan told him he was
over Mrs. Robinson when he was shot.
His shirts, outer and inner, were both
scorLched. The immediate cause Of . his
death was the shock" Quinlan told
him he was trying to ward of the revol-
! yer, when be was shot in the arm. DR..
| U!rich concurred in The statements OF
DR.. Galhgan as to the post norton ex
animation.
Ida Florence, John Wallace and Mary
Clark, were sworn and their testimony
was about the same as that published
in the REGISTER yesterday, in our inter-
views with the above parties.
The jury brought in verdict that the
deceased came to his death by pistol
shots fired by Melissa Robinson.
The legal examination Of Mrs. Robin
son was set for four o'clock yester-
day Afternoon before Squire Caldwell. A
large crowd assembled in the Police
Court room where the examination
was to take place. After some
consultation between Messrs. Good
and Dovener, counsel Tor Mrs.
Robinson, and Prosecuting Attorney
Cracraft and Mr.. Jacob Kemple, his as
sistant, it was agreed to waive an exam.

morning at o'clock. Mrs. Robinson
was remanded to Jail.
