Wills POINT, $50 p. IN, September
II This morning crowd OF some
three or four hundred armed men APP
preached this place from the direction
of Canton. AS may be supposed, their
presence occasioned much alarm.
There were hurried conferences, aud
groups OF anxious men were seen on
every hand. Old guns aud new ones,
large pistols and small ones, were
brought out and put ON a war footing
in great haste. The Cantonites de-
manded the restoration OF the records
or the blood OF the defenders. We
have bat one hundred men with which
to meet this array. The officers of the
II Xas and Pacific railway at this place
are anxious about the safety OF the
oompany's property. The fear is that
the town will be fired. We have sent
a committee to wait on them. They
are highly indignant and, at this time,
will listen to no sort of compromise or
delay.
3P. M.--The attacking party refuse
to compromise. The Texas aud Pa.
ciic people fear they will be COMPEL.
ed to leave the Office. Governor Hub
bard has ordered the sheriff to hold
the records. The Canton party have
blankets saturated with coal oil, with
which to fire the barricadc OF cotton
bales erected az fertilization. Here
is noble field for few militia COM
panies.
6:05 p. M.-There is compromise,
aud things are to remain In Stdtu quo
until morning. Every one is on the
watch, and not too much confidence
is felt in the quiet of the approaching

THIRD DISPATCH.

Special to the Dallas Herald
WILLS POINT, September IA
mob OF about two hundred well armed
and mounted men came from Canton
and the lower portion Of the county
and demanded the county records,
which were removed from Canton to
this place, some months since, by
regular process of law. The demands
Of the mob were refused by the sheriff
and posse OF one hundred armed
men. The mob then arrayed them
selves In line OF battle and threatened
to burn and plumber the town, their
cry being "The records, or fire and
blood.n They were commanded by
T. J. Towles, representative in the NTH
legislature. They had wagons loaded
with whisky, coal oil, guns, etc. The
mob was at last dispersed by COM
promise, which appeared to be obnox-
ious to both parties, more or less.
The mob generally acquiesced, but
some have made threats that they will
do their work to night; that they came
after the records, and they were not
going home withoutthem. However,
at this hour, 1880, all Is quiet on the
Potomac, with about sixty armed men
around the court house. Governor
Hubbard has been telegraphed to for
help, as the mob far outnumber the
sherifi's posse.

NEW York, September 1.-THE fol-
lowing has been furnished by the
Turkish minister to the United States
"a telegram from the governor gem
eral Of Adrianople, dated the 2lst Of
August, reports fourteen lsraelites Of
Kezanlike, massacred by the Russians

who WAS devoured by the dogs. Forty
three lsraelites OF Kezanlike, men aud
women, the greater part wounded and
sick, have been saved with the Mussel-

others, to the number Of three hundred,
have been carried of by the enemy

A dispatch yesterday to the Asso-
ciated Press from this city contained u
Reuters Constantlnople dispatch, dated
the 10Th, saying the grand vizier had
informed Minister Layard that 0sman
pasha defeated the Russians on SaturN
day, and also contained n statement
that the London Observers CONSTANT
nople special repeated reports current
there Of the defeat OF the Russians.
1t was also stated In the dispatch
that II was possible that telegraphic
delays might have caused confusion Of
dates, and that the grand vizler's COM
muncatlon might refer to the attack
kobeleif on Wednesday. 1t is certain
that inference was correct. The Turk.
ish reports referred to events already
known from Turkish sources,
1t seems equally certain that the re-
port contained to-day In the Times
Bucharest special, that the Turks had
made seven Intellectual assaults in an
attempt to recapture the Grievica re-
doubts, and lost ten thousand men, ID
one OF the many groundless rumors Of
of which Bucharest IL full, and that
there has been no serious engagement
since the defeat Of General Skobeloff,
on Wednesday, In which, according to
correspondents with the Russians, he
lost half of his command.
The daily News, strong pro- Russian,
sums up the mornings intelligence In
the leading article, as follows: Look
ing impartially on facts, as presented
this morning to the public, we are una
BILE to form any other conclusion than
that the attack on Plevna has not only
failed, but 80 failed that II cannot be
renewed under the conditions which
| the Russian commander finds himself
placed. He used up his slight superb
0rity OF men with extraordinary ra'
pidity. He IL liable to be attacked
at any given part of his front by a
force larger than any which he can rs
semble there
In u word, he Is beaten. The battle

must have been, II at all, at a village
five miles northwest of Vratza, on the
Brature road Report says that Osman
pasha has fortified u poDition, almost
IMPROBABLE naturally, at Vratza, upon
which he will retire II driven from
PlevEa. Anyhow, the Roumanian at
tempt to cut off his communications
seems to have failed.

"a RUM swear"
How a Boolklke-per was Cured Of a
Cold.
[From the Chicago Tribune.l

Colds are bad things. and . severe cold
requires severe remedy. but the Sc.
verest remedy experienced by mortal
man fell last week to the lot of Sam
Quilldriver, bookkeeper for Sandsugar &
Co., wholesale grocers, and he now
swears that all the consumption, oatarrb,
bronchitis and pneumonia in the world
won't scare him into undergoing what
he did at the period indicated. Sam is a
very modest baohelor--in fact, over
modest--and has nice suite Of rooms
in fashionable boarding house on the
West Side; and Sam was recently the
victim of one of those severe colds which
lay man flat on his back and make him
wish be had never been born. Wishing
to get rid of his cold-which stuck to
him like dead beat to free lunch table
Sammy wrote to his aunt, living few
squares off, to know what he must do to
be cured.
Aunty. being sympathetic. consulted a
lady friend who was something OF a
"nedicine man" in petticoats, and the
twain decided that Sammy should have
what is called rum sweat"-a species
Of torture which consists of the victim
being--well! alb! --naturalized-or not to
put too fine point on it, stripped to his
pclt. enveloped in blanket or two,
seated in cane-bottomed chair over a
pan of alcohol. or other burning fluid,
to which kind friend touched q match
at the word "go," and the victim stands
1t % long as he can, perspiring at the
rate of gallona minute. Well, TO make
n or oh ha kvuN lod of
arranging the necessary preliminaries.
retired to an adjoining room and waited
while Sammy got ready, and then came
in, finding the victim over the caldron,
modestly wrapped in the necessary blan.
ket, but blushinR like girl. Ascertaining
that all was ready, Aunty lifted Just the
edge of the blanket, struck a match, and
touched it to the fluid. simultaneously
there came from the vicinity of that
chair ALOUD "pbut! from the fumes of
the fluid as they exploded, covering
Sammy's legs; screeoh from the lady
who fred the Ephesian dome. and yell
like Choctaw war-cry from Sammy,
who the next moment was cavorting
around the room minus his blanket. and
looking like peripatetic meteor.
That being a part Of the performance
not on the programme, the two ladies
struck up an hysterical yell, and
scrambled over each other. out of the
door and down stairs. yelling "Fire!'
at the top OF their voices. bringing into
that room all the boarders on that floor,
male and female, in hurry--the latter,
however, retiring in equal haste as they
quickly diecOyered that IL wacn't a "a "a
