Saturday night some roughs from Richmond
took possession Of the Pullman train, going west,
while returning from Bsrnum's Menageric, and
in a fracas that occurred Bow6oinham man was
assaulted and so badly beaten that his life is des
paired of. Similar things have occurred before,
and respectable persons are beginning to think
that when they cannot attend any entertainment
up river without endangering their lives in return
ing. it is about time the railroad authorities take
hold of the matter.
Monday morning about two o'clock the farm
buildings, consisting of house, barn and stables
of Messrs. Alva Parlin and Fred Small, about two
miles from Richmond, were burned. together
with 80 tons of hay. 1t was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiarv as it was fired some time ago,
but discovered in season to prevent damage Most
of the household furniture and the cattle were
saved. The property was insured in the Roger
Williams Co. for 81, 900.
During the thunder tempest last Thursday night,
the house Of Mr.. Joseph Call Of Richmond, was
struck by lightning which tore msdly about the
sitting room, where were Mrs. Call and two chill
dren who fortunately escaped injury. The pas
tering was nearly all torn from the room and the
house Otherwise shattered.

GRANT CAUGHT AT lat.


Some astounding facts have been de-
veloped recently by q Democratic Invss-
,iga,ine Committee and We hasten to lay
them before our readers. in tho hope
that the vile corruption and trickery Of
our Republican Chief Magistrate will
now be made apparent to the dullsst
comprehension. 1t WAS proved on the
most unimpsachablc testimony that
General Grant is tho owner Of q farm
neal st. Louis; also that he 10 guilty Of
maintaining there q track and sundry
horses, which he actually has the auda-
city to exercise at certain stated times in
that contraband track. These facts In
themselves when proven against a Presi-
dent OF the United States, should dss-
troy all confidence In his administration.
But worse is to come. II was developed
by the testimony. and. uuiortu-
nately. it cannot be disprovsd.
that that wretched track at q
certain specified time needed straightsn-
Ing. Under what constitutional pro-
vision the President Of the United States
claims the right to own a horse track.
and prssumss to allow that Truck to get
out Of order. we have failed to discover
after q most diligent search. II would
seem. after these startling developments,
that the depravity Of the President had
been probcd to its depths. Not so. 1t
was sworn to by competent witnesses
that the horses at a certain specified Pc
ROD were urgently in need Of being
shod. Comment OH this strange freak
| OF General Grants horses is unnsces-
sary. But what will the intelligent
reader say when he learns that John
Herman. an army blacksmith, volun-
teerei to shoe the horses, and Captain
Robinson. OF the regular army, offered
to straighten the track? that the Presi.
dents superintendent accepted these
offers, and actually hal the audacity to
offer payment for the work donsI and
that this payment was refused because
no Government material was used. and
the men were glad to get the job to pass
away their idle timeg Verify. tho cor.
ruption Of this Administration is almost
past belief. These things have been
proven. gentle reader. before a Demo-
cratic investigating committee. There
is no room for doubt. Is 1t not our
duty N honest citizens to rise up and
put down this President who owns
horses AMI tracks in defiance Of the Con-
stitution, anil dares to have tho one shod
and the other Strengthened?
