THE New York San prints an &C
count of shocking affair which oc-
Cured recently in Justice Riley's Court
10 Brooklyn. A giant of a fellow
named Kenney, who had just been
convicted of brutally beating his wife,
a slight woman. who was as helpless
as al infant in his powerful hands,
after receiving his sentence watched
his opportunity aud right there in the
Courtroom knocked the poor creature
down, after which he kicked her in the
face with his heavy boots. 1t is prob

read the accoun of this outrage re-

ruffians shall not only be imprisoned
but also severely logged upon the

PossIBLE.-It is a significant fact
that every member Of Hayes Cabinet
is AN old Wing, with the one exception
of Carl Schurz. who did not immi
CRATE to this country until after the
breaking up of that party. President
Hayes was a member of that political
organization, and his selection of this
particular element. while it may be
nothing nor than a coincidence, still
gives some color to the rumor that he
desires to resurrect that organization
in the South, as a means of solving the
problem of a peaceful solution Of the
troubles that beset that portion Of the
Union. A new party which would
collect around the old Wing leaders OF
the South, and divide the colored vote,
is among the possibilities OF the fu-
ture.

POPULAR suffrage has been put to a
singular test in the village of Ava,
Japan. The neighborhood was har-
assed by a midnight robber, whom no
body could detect. The head of the
hamlet summoned the entire male
population under his charge and di.
rected every man TO write the name of
the person whom he suspected and to
deposit the ticket in q box. Fifteen
ballots bore the name of Abe Tan
ihei, the rest being blanks. The man
whom everybody distrustei was SO
overcome with astonishment that he
made a full confession and went to
prison. Never before in the history of
popular government was a thief elected
with such unaniMity.

Reunion at Fremont, Ohio.

FREMONT, Ohio, Sept. I4.-Since
the reception rendered President
Hayes, after his election, the people
of Fremont have enjoyed no such
gala day as the celebration of the re.
union of the 23d regiment which is
being held to-day. From $4,000 to
10000 people are already in attend
ance from the country around and
hourly trains are bringing more from
all parts to join in the demonstration
The exercises began this morning
at sunrise with firing national sa-
lutte from the site of old Fort Stephen
son. For this purpose the one piece
of artillery used by Col. Croghan, in
his defeat of the English at this place
in 1913, was used. AT 10 O'Clock the
ceremony of laying the cornerstone
of the new city hall in Fort Stephen
son Park was performed by the Ma
sonic fraternity, at which G. A.
Woodward, Grand Master of Ohio,
presided.
The President was present but
took no part in the exercises.
At Ii o'clock an informal meeting
OF the I'D regiment was held at Biz
ehard hall. This was one of the
most pleasant occurrences of the day.
About 800 veterans were present, in
Guiding Gen. Hayes, Gen. Rosecranz,
Gen. Scammon, and Senator Stanley
Matthews; Secretary McCrary. Gen.
Sheridan, Gen. Cox and Judge Force
were also present. President Hayes,
PRESIDENT of the Society, called the
meeting to order and stated that they
would proceed with the election of
officers Tor the coming year, when he
was Immediately placed in nomina-
lion and Notwithstanding his obiec-

REPORTED RUSSIAN DEFEAT.

SuUMLA, Sept l5.-On Friday Os-
man Pasha was attacked by the Rus
slams in great force at Dubuit, on the
road from Plevna to Sofia where they
had fortified themselves in order to
prevent him from receiving support.
The Russians were badly beaten and
have lost several thousand men be-
sides nine guns which they had plac-
ed in redoubt. He asked for rein
forcements several times but General
Levitsky refused them thinking Gen.
Skobeloll had enoug Oh men to hold the
redoubt. Finally.Gen. Kcirloff on his
own responsibility sent a remnant OF
a regiment which had attacked the
lower redoubt near PleYna and whose
effective strength was reduced 10
LOCO men, utterly unfit to go into
battle. Even this regiment arrived a
few minutes too late and another reg
iment sent from headquarters OF the
stall to reinforcc him arrived when
Gen. Skobele1 already had retreatcd.
The loss of these redoubts is disas-
trous TO the Russian attack, as If
seems that the Russians, in possession
OF these two redoubts and the Ggivica |
redoubt, had counted upon rcsumine |
the offensive Immediately, but this is
now impossible until the arrival of
relnforcements. When / left the bat
tle-tield the Russians were still in
possession of the Grivica redonbt.
This redoubt was visited by Colonel
Wellesley, who says it is heapcd full
dead Russians and Soumanians.

County School SUPERINTENDENT.

EDIToRs OF TIE COURIER -
The following communication hay
ing been presented for publication in
each Of the democratic papers of this
city, and having been declined, / avail
myself of your columns.
In the last issue of the OttumWa
Times L observe an editorial no.
tice of w. "A. McIntire, democrat
ic candidate for County School Su-
perintendcnt), which slops over, ad
ndaseatm. The Times praises of this
callow STRIPPING are so fulsome. its
adulations are SO excessive, that they
overshoot the mark entirely and fail
even to compliment the rustic inno-
cent who is the fond object of its
flattery. On the other hand, when
that paper assails Mr.. Clay Wood, the
republican candidate, the abuse Of him
is SO scurrilous, that it has the ten
dency to recommend him to the sym.
pathy of the people, as an injured
man. Whatever imperfcctions as a
School Superintendent Mr.. Wood
may have had heretofore, surely -four
years of practical experience in the
same office to which he now aspires
has emincntly qualified him for the
thorough and efficient performance
of all the duties incumbent upon the
Superintendent. Contrast with this
qualification the timid youthfulness
the ineNperience and rural simplicity
of Mr.. Mcintire, and men of good
judgment will not be long in deter,
mining which of these gentlemen il
the better fitted for the place They
seek. Again, Mr.. Wood is a Chris
tan gentleman OF marked piety. ant
this fact, in the estimation of all gcoC
Christian people, must give a happy
moral influence to the schools OF. oul
county. On the other hand, | an
credibly informed that MIR. McIntir,
is more or less inoculatea with unhe
lief: that, to u greater or less extent
he is scoller at the Christian rc4ig
ion; and rejects the Holy Eiblo a:
the word of God. Will honest and
consistent Christians hesitate long il
deciding who to vote for. Mt the com
ing election?
In conclusion, let me say "a wore
to my fellow democrats. Mr.. Mcln
tire cannot consistently claim the sup
port of the democratic party, hccaus,
he himself does not support that par
! ty. Two years ago Mr.. Mcintir,
bolted the nominee of the democratic
convention for School Superinteud
cnt, refused TO support said nominee
and voted for Mr.. Clay Wood, hi
present opponent. The whole Nc
lntirc family, with the possible cNccp
ton of one, voted for MIR. Wood tw,
! years ago. This they admit, and i
they would be consistent they wonl,
do so this fall, and advise their dem
ocratic friends TO do likewise. Mi
Wood is the same enterprising, ear
} nest Christian gentleman now tina
he was two years ago; and if tn
McIntire's then thought him compe
tent and able, l see no reason VIII
they should not support him in Octo
Der next. Let them do themsclvc
the credit of being consistent.

AUGUSTA, Ga.,. Aug. Con Tues
day last an observant traveller could
have obtained some idea of what
Hampton has already done fer the
colored people Of South Carolina
While riding along the road leading
to the Edgefield Courthouse, / saw a
white man on horseback, behind him
ran black man, his arms tied at the
elbow behind his back, his hands
brought forward on his breasts, and
writs tied firmly together. A rope
was attached to the tied elbows, with
a rope passing around the neck. The
white man held the other end of the
rope at his saddle bow, as he trotted
unconcernedly along. The black
man seemed very much exhausted :;
the heat and dust gave him terrible
look of suffering the wrists were
swollen where they were dashed to-
gether. The two attracted but little
attention beyond stare from those
working in the fields. Home rule
has doneits work already in Edge

THE city of Plevna is the great bat
tie ground at this time between tn,
Russians and the Turks. At thi
writing, after two weeks trial, thu
Russians are no nearer taking in
Osman Pasha than when they com.
menced. The fact is, the Russians
have suffered tremendous losses. II
10 certain that if the Russians finally
win, they will be SO crippled by their
great losses, as to make victory next
to a defeat. 1t is now apparent that
Turkey is no longer justly liable to
the appellation of the "sick man."
The fact is that no nation of Europe
has ever exhibited more bravery, bet
ter generalship or more stubborn
fighting and splendid victories than
have the Turks SO far in this war.
What seemed foregone conclusion
in the commencement of the war, viz !:
that the Russians, by their superior
numbers, would crush out the Turks
in brief time. has become most GER
tainly q mooted question as to wheth-
er the Russians will ever be able to
wrest from the Turks a decisive VIC
tory.
