IT rs DECIDED

that the Republicans can no longer rely
on the Eastern States to influence the o.
tober vote in the West. In Vermont,
while the Republicans gained So per cent,
the Democrats gained seventy three per
cent-a gain, that if carried out in the
country at large, would give them almost
every State in the Union. In Maine, the
home of Mr.. BLAINE, who, with his friends,
made every personal effort, and where a
large vote WAS understood to be vindica-
ton of him, personally, they have fallen
short again. In 1868, the Presidential
year, the Republicans carried that State by
s2,OsS, in 1872 the next Presidential
year they carried it by 1895, and this
year they have carried it by only 1900.
Like the election IN Vermont, the relative
Democratic gains in Maine are much
greater than the Republican, and if any
thing like the same proportion should hold
throughout the country, which is looked
upon as highly probable, the Democrats
will carry every one of the doubtful States
by large majorities. This settles the last
hope of the Republicans influencing the
Western States by great successes in New
England. After ali their efforts they hare
not beer, able to poll their cote! the rank and
file have stayed at h ONE.
And now the Democra cy may turn with
easy hearts to Indiana, where CARL
SCHURTz has just been withdrawn from
the canvass on the complaint of Indiana
Republicans. because he abused the ad-
ministration of GRANT.

A Photograph of Mystery and
Death.
[ 'From the Reading ''Eagle."l

| FlpH INC RS.uiiiS SsdSlC.
The small shop at the southwest corner
of Ninth and Penn streets is occupied by
a German matchmaker. He has III his
possession the photograph of a young lady,
who formerly resided on North Ninth
street, in this city. The most wonderful
and mysterious history is told concerning
the picture. The young lady, about nine
teen years of age, was in excellent health,
rosy checked, dark-eyed, and in the best Of
spirits, about five months ago. She re-
went to Il Reading gallery. In the course
of few days she got the pictures and took
them home. What is said to have follow
ed was told to an Eagle reporter by the
matchmaker a few mornings ago. She
took the photographs home and showed
one of them to a member Of the family.
The mother examined the picture awhile
and then said to Gertrude, "Why, this
picture has Deaths head on it," She
pointed to the tie worn about the lady's
throat and what looked like a skull was
distinctly seen on the picture, and it at
tracted some curiosity. No attention was
paid to this, and in a few days afterwards
one of her photographs was looked at
again, and to their great astonishment
they discovered that the figure, or what
greatly resembled it, of another skull had
appeared just above it. This was also
pointed out to the young lady, and she be-
came deadly pale, and took to her bed.
She slowly sank, and in two months after
she had her picture taken she was a corpse.
The reporter asked to see the photograph.
1t was shown. 1t represented stout,
healthy, fresh and progressing young lady.
When she had her picture taken she wore
a rose at her throat. This flower was so
shaded that it represented a skull. Below
outlines of another strange looking face.
1t is a strange freak at best, and must be
seen to be properly understood and real
lied 1t is stated that the young lady died
from fright.

Stery of am Augusta Judge.

(From Whiteheads "reminiscences of the Nelson
Bar in the Lovingston Examiner)
My friend Judge Shelley, outside of his
eminent abilities, his promptness, his quick
ness of apprehension, and his learning, was
noted for long sessions, short recesses, and
scant meals.
l was once counsel in a case, and had to
conclude the argument for the plaintiff. I
had eaten a small breakfast .at seven
O'Clock, had had no time at two for a
lunch, and it was six P. M. when he said
he would go through the case that night.
Mr.. Coghill had to conclude for the defen-
dant.
[ said MI. G. might speak, but did not
intend to conclude for the plaintiff that
night. The Judge said that might not
depend OF me. 1 said it did; that had
been in court for nine hours without any
thing to eat or drink he might hear Mr..
Coghill, and send the jury out, provided
he would enter on record that | refused to
speak, for the reason above stated, adding
at what hour the jury retired. L said lis
Honor should remember that counsel were
not made of iron. He said after awhile, the
jury might be adjourned, and he would
hear both Mr.. Coghill and myself next
day, but added, if all lawyers were not
made of iron, he knew one, at least, who
had as much brass in his composition as
any one he ever saw. [ had carried nv
point and let him enjoy the triumph of his
happy hit, Pickwickian, of course.

going to vote one way for Tilden and
Hendricks, and all the deputy marslals i'll
the world couldn't keep them from it.
One of brother Taft's U. S. deputy mar
shals is no more than constable in Vir-
ginia. He can take it out in summonlng
people, if he likes, and finds the proceed
ing any comfort to him. There is fine
for not coming at his call, and that is all,
and if the United States can collect the
fine it will be more lucky than the State
authorities have been in the last hundred
years.
In this election the great trouble the
Republicans are having, is that they can't
deceive the North or intimidate the South,
and the main cause for both failures is,
that the day for both experiments is pass
ed. They came nearer the mark when they
started the money issue, but when they fell
to deputy marshals' writs they gave up
the game. You can't bully man into the
Presidential chair in America yet, You
have to vote him in, and Uncle SAM TIL
DEN has the vote.

A WAR zsemiasiscGFa0e.

An interesting meeting between Col R
W. Baylor, an ex-confederate officer
and Con. B. F. Kelly, of the federal army
was recently held at the home of the former
gentleman in West Virginia. Col. Baylor
was captured during the war by Gen
Kelly's troops, and was tried by order OF
Secretary Stanton for an alleged violation
of the rules of war and sentenced to be
hanged. In locking over the papers relating
to the case, which were brought to him for
approval, General Kelly became convinced
that the fact did not justify the action of
the court martial. Therefore he disap-
proved Of the finding of the court and sent
the papers to the Sec'y of War. The Sec
rotary was not pleased with the action of
the General and referred the papers to an
other officer, who agreed with Gen. Kelly.
This did not safety the Secretary, and he
referred the documents to Judge Advocate
General Holt, who said there were infor-
malties Oh the trial. and the Secretary
ordered another court martial. which
was had, and a similar verdict and SEN
tence was the result. Gen Kelly again
disapproved the finding, the Secretary of
War again referred the papers to other Of
ficers, who this time agreed with General
Kelly, and the sentence was annulled.
Some time afterward President Lincoln
heard of the case, and sent dispatch to
General Kelly thanking him for his action
iu the matter, and saying that he was glad
to know that an officer of his army had
the courage to do right in spite of the op-
position of courts martial and his superior
officers. By the chances of war, General
Kelly was afterWard captured by the con-
federates, and, although in no such peril
Gus position as was Col. Baylor, he receiv-
ed every kindness and attention that it
was in the power Of that officer to give.
They have not seen each other since the
war, until Gen. Kelly and his wife accepted
an invitation from Col. Baylor to visit him
in his West Virginia home. New York
World.

Pole-raisings are all very well; public

and copy the name of every white voter.
Divide them off in tens; then assigna man

his duty be to see that the voters under
his charge are talked with, at least once
before the election, and reminded Of the
Importance OF going to the polls.-Then

The Camp-Meeting Disturbance.

EDITORS INDICATOR My attention
has been called to communication in the
last VINDICAToR, signed by Benz. T. Ball,
purporting to correct certain statements
contained in your issue Of the LIST inst,
| with reference to the unfortunate difficulty
which occurred at the Campaigning.
Mr.. Ball. who | believe, is Methodist
Minister. has certainly allowed his par
| tia!ity to lead him very far from correct
statements of facts, and into the perpe-
| tration of an injustice upon Mr.. Walker,
which [ cannot conceive can be recOnciled
| with desire to make plain unvarnished
| statement.
The facts of the case, which can be
proven by a number of witnesses, are these:
| The insult offered by Mr.. Thomas to the
Young ladies, was wholly uncalled for and
unwarranted. and whether or not the re
| buke.n as MI. Ball terms it, was publicly
administered' it was distinctly heard by q
number of persons.
But even granting that it was not "pub-
liclv administered" would Mr.. Thomas be
any more excusable for insulting lady in
the most secluded spot on earth than he
would for insulting her before d congrega-
ton ? or would Mr.. Walker be less justi-
fable for resenting an insult simply because
| it was in private.
II is true that, when confronted, Mr..
Thomas denied saying the parties were
mot ladies,'' and Mr.. Walkers response
was that he would take their word be-
fore MIR. Thomas. - 1t was then that Mr..
! Grabill came up and said," was vii ness
| to what Brother Thomas said, and his
statement is correct" Mr.. Walker again
responded, ''My sister and the other ladies
state differently, and l believe them in
preference to Mr.. Thomas or YOU" Ora
| bill then replied, "What Brother Thomas
states is true, and any man who would
| talk that way to a minister is q scoun-
drel." By this time, Walker and Grabill
were directly against each other, too close
for either to strike, when Walker pushed
| Grabill from him and then Grabil struck
at him, and then Walker dealt him a blow
| in the face, which rolled him backwards.
These, Messrs. Editors, are the plain
facts of the case, as can be abundantly
| proven.

Remarkable Deaths of Little


(Fr0m Tazewel Co., W. letter in the IshchOufa
We have had an epidemic OF fearful ma
lightly pre- yailing here for more Than SIX
months, in the form of gangrenous sore
threats, or what physicians call "Cynanche
Maligna.''
1t is confined principally to children
but adults are not exempt from 1t. We
have had two hundred and fifteen cases
fifteen of which were fatal, all the fatal
cases being children from two to fourteen
years Of age. During its prevalence the
fish in Clear Fork Creek have been dying.
There bodies are covered with gangrenous
ulcers, and in many instances their Inns
have been removed by deep and extern
sive slough.
Those children W no have died, though
some were mere infants, furnished on theil
deat1-beds arguments in favor OF a future
state of existence unanSWerabie by all the
sophistry Of nfdelity. Such as the follow
ing we've the dying expressions OF many.
George Stephenson, years OLD, said
Mother, l am going home," and calmly
gave directions where to bury him. Robert
johnson, 6 years Old, said: SISTER, am
going home" embraced his parents and
sister, said he was not at all afraid to die
gave directions about his burial, and
quietly fell asleep. Hattie Perry, years
old, awoke from sleep, and exclaimed: u
am going home, there is the happy shore
She babe farewell to all around her, an6
quietly departed. George Gregory, years
old, said: 'Jesus is with me-" and to his
little sister, who died a few minutes be
fore, he said "Uome on, Sallie," exhort
ing those around him to follow on tt
heaven, he breathed his last. Frank Nell
9 years old, when dying, looked to fis
mother, and said, Mother, home, home
These children died, generally, on thu
appearance of their bodies indicated TOT
plainly the malignant character of th'

DEATH OF HENRY A. WIsE.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Wise died in Richmond on Tuesday
last, at noon. The "Dispatch'' gives the
following about his last moments:
The General was conscious up to the last,
and talked clearly and distinctly to within
an hour of his dissolution. Yesterday
morning early he was apparently stronger
than during the previous night, and in the
course OF conversation concerning himself
he said,. II never robbed the poor, and
what is better, never robbed the rich"
Later in the morning while talking to his
son John, and giving him advice concern
ing the rearing of his children, the devo-
ted father said "Tske hold, John, of
the biggest knots i'll life, and try to unite
thcm-try to be worthy OF mans highest
estate-have high, noble, manly honor.
There is but one test of anything, and
that is, Is it right If it isn't, turn right
away from it.'

emo document SO partisan in character,
upon power, so regardle. of historical
truth, so utterly insubordinate of the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court of the United
States, has in the history of our country
issued from department; not only acting
as all departments should act, under the
sanction of law, but looked to by all other
departments Of the executive as itself the
fountain of law for them.''

THE latest and most ridiculous effort OF
Radcalism. is the attempted intimidation
ofsome of the Southern States which are
sat down as doubtful" by Secretary Zach
Chandler of the National Republican Com
mittee. Mississippi, Louisiana and North
Carolina are wanted, and to that end At
torney General Taft has issued an order
giving U. S. Marshals authority to carry
out the Enforcement act, and to summon
as many deputies as they choose to aid
them. The Administration has evidently
mistaken 1876 for 1868. Eight years ago
such orders created apprehension F.; now
they only excite ridicule. In Virginia ev-
erybody votes who has right to, accord
ing to our laws. which are in accordance
with the laws of the United States-so we
won't be bothered much. AS for North
Carolina and Mississippi, there is no hope
of the Republicans carrying them, and in
Louisiana they are not the sort of people
to be frightened by deputy marshals calling
troops from the vastly deep of Sitting
Bulls domains.
Radical rule in this country is only scat
tering gravel in its expiring kicks. No
body will be hurt by it,.

A Daring Assault Upon "a Bank

A Mortified, MIMI, special says about
2 O'Clock last Thursday evening. five men,
well mounted, entered the town and pro-
ceeded to the bank. Three entered it and
sprang over the counter, ordered Cashier J.
L. Haywood, with a knife to his throat,
to open the vault, and at the same time all
persons in the bank, A. E. Bunker, assis-
tant cashier, and Frank Wilcox, clerk,
were ordered tQhold up their hands.
Mr.. Haywood REFUSED to obey orders and
open the money vault. His reck had been
slightly graZed with the knife, and still re-
slsting, the robbers put the muzzle of a
pistol to his right temple and fired. Hay
wood fell dead. They then turned to Mr..
Bunker and ordered him to open the vault.
He said he did not know the combination.
AS the robbers made demonstration to
wards him he ran out of the back door.
They fired at him, shooting him through
the shoulder. Mr.. Wilcox was not inter
fered with. While this was transpiring
within, the people of the city without We're
doing good work. Two of the robbers
were killed outright and one wounded. The
man was taken away by his comrades. The
robbers did not get into the vault, nor did
they find the cashiers drawer. except the
nickel drawer, and handful Of nickelS
taken from it were thrown to the floor
The robbers were well mounted, and armed
with navy revolverS.
When the robbers entered the town they
drew revolvers, and putting their horses
into full gallop dashed through the
streets, shouting to the people on the walks
to get inside. While three men were en-
gagged in the bank the others stood on the
street threatening to shoot any one who
interfered, and firing several harmless
Shots Pistols and guns were quickly Sc
cured by the citizens, and young man
named Wheeler, from the window of the
opposite building picked off one of tue
villains, shooting him through the heart.
Another shot FRUSTRATED another, when
the robbers mounted their horses and beat
a retreat. The third robber was hit, but
escaped.
A band Of fifty citizens was organized,
and headed by Wheeler, started in pursuit.
AT last accounts the robbers were only
twenty-five minutes ahead of the pursuers,
and are almost sure to be overtaken There
are all sorts of rumors as the robbers, many
believing them to be some of gang here
tofOre operating in Missouri and Kansas.
