on Freight.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 3O.-Early this
morning the Dayton Short Line
freight depot, of this city, was with
its contents consumed by fire. The
building was worth $25,O0O., There
was an unusually large amount OF
freight stored in the building, prin'
cipally for merchants in the city
Loss on freight variously estimated
from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred thousand dollars, upon
which there is very little if any in,
surance. AS the law makes the rail.
road responsible for the safety Of
goods stored in a freight house only
for period Of twenty-four hours, q
large part of the loss will fall upon
the consignees as most of the freight
had been stored two or three days.

The funeral of Anthony Carter, the col
ored man who was assassinated in Indian
apolis by the democrats on the day of the
recent charter election was an affecting
and impressive ceremony. Men and wo-
men, who had never heard his name be-
fore the bloody deed was done, thronged
the streets to participate in the last sad
rites. The act of the assassins was of the
most iiendish character. Carter was an
innocent victim as were all the others.
He was standing quietly upon the side
walk, half mile from the polls. While
there some unknown democratic assassin
crept up behind him and stabbed him in
the back. The wounded man fled for his
life, but was pursued. knocked down and
stabbed again, this time the awful work
being complete. Immediately the riot
was raging in all its fury. Clubs, pistols
and dirks were flourished by the demo-
cratic rioters, and the cries "kill the
damned niggers" filled the air as the at
tack went on. 1t was a dastardly act OF
barbarity hat would disgrace the South
Sea Islanders Yet the bloody deed found
its aiders and abettors among the democ-
racy of Indiana. That, however, was to
have been expected as it was the work OF
the democrats themselves.
