KEEP YOUR BOAT NEAR THE
SHORE,

II wont do for certain interested indi'
viduals to howl about a war, the orphans
Home at Xenia, or johnson sherrlCK'
There will be no war Except among he,
publican politicians about election tlme)
the Orphans Home will go right along
as usual-and Senator Sherrick, or any
other member of the Senate, has no Du'
siness rushing into print" to reply 70
every unknown fyste that chooses to Dark
at him. These individuals had better
endeavor to enlighten rather than con
fuse the minds of the masses. The lat'
ter policy has prevailed long enough In
1874 they tried to make the people oe'
lieve that all Democrats were drunkards;
in 1875 that they would divide the tchool
funds; in 1876 that they would pay all
rebel claims and the rebel debt. Now
they insult the intelligence of their Vo'
ters by reasoning to them as though they
were pack of idiots. -. -,
Voters of Carroll county will consider
local questions. They will bear in mind
there will be no "war," but if Harvey
Eckley is elected Prosecuting Attorney,
they will have four years more OF mol
lying" such as they had under d. NJ
Brown. Harvey was Browns law part
ner and assistant while in office. Browns
record is EckleY'srecord. They are both
college graduates" both Temperance
men" and one is as good lawyer as the
other. They are a fine pair. Behold
them, ye voters, who pay for their blum
ders! $50,
The Auditors Office, under A. L. Bill,
man, will become an "Orphan's Home"
for Wash Butler, where he can have con,
stant employment fixing the books"
at a fine salary. 1t will be a good three
years berth for such brave old soldier
Workiugmen will never think OF John
son SherrlCk when the time comes TO
vote against Judge Adams, their special
friend (?). The last Report of the Audi
tor of State, and the official figures OF the
last Republican primary nomination are
suggestive and demand explanation. Ger
tain individuals had better explain these
matters, instead Of talking about wars
and rumors of wars."-C Carroll Chronicle.

SLIGHT ENGAGEMENT IN BOSNIA
WITH THE INSURGENTS.

Vienna, August I3,-The Twentieth
Austrian division has not yet been able
to reach Sewornik. Its outposts fought
battle with the insurgents near Gratsa
chanitza on the 4th inst. The division
was also engaged on the Sth, 9th and 10th.
1t advanced close to Lubia, but, in cons
sequence of the scarcity Of supplies and
exhaustion Of draught animals, fell back
on Gratschanitza to secure its Communi-
cations.
Vienna, August I3.-Gen. Phillipovick
and the Grand Duke of Wurtemburg eff
fected a junction and are reported march
ing on Serajeyo, which, it is believed in
surgents will evacuate.
1t is also reported insurgents have
evacuated Senitza. 1t was their main
body which was defeated at Sheptcha.
The Twentieth Austrian Division was
obliged to retreat because the insurgents
had received large reinforcments. In
consequence of this occurring close to
the Servian frontier, a report is current
that corps will be sent to watch Servia
with orders to adzance into the country
at the first sign of bad faith.
Constantinople, August I3.-Accord,
ing to advices from Serajevo, the insur-
gent Government has sent Hafz Pasha
to meet the Austrians and ask leniency
for the insurgents. 1t is thought to be
impossible that the Bosnians can pro-
long their resistance. With view there
fore to tranquiIze them, the Porte has
Mehmet Ali Pasha as its COM
missioner in Bosnia.

MURDER AT MANTUA.
The Mystery Of Dead Man-ShOt Through the
Head and Robbed.


Particulars have been received Of a
supposed murder, which occurred We'd
nesday last at Mantua, small town nine
miles north of Ravenna. A brakeman
on freight train passing through Man
tua at o'clock Wednesday evening no.
ticed a man lying under tree near the
track>side, whom he supposed was drunk.
Thursday noon some brakeman saw the
man lying in the same position. On ar
irving at the depot they gave the alarm,
and party Immediately repaired to the
locality and found man apparently
about thirty years old, lying in gully,
partly covered with weeds, The body
was taken to the depot, where Doctors
made an examination, resulting in hndS
ing two gasnes cut over the temples on
each side of the head,
In the mean time, an examination had
been made of the ground in the neigh,
borhood of where the man was found,
administrations as if a struggle had taken
place were discovered, and short dis
tlnce from the spot revolver was found.
These facts were conveyed to the Doc
tor, when another examination was made
and disclosed the fact that bullet had
entered the head over the right ear. In
the pockets was found an envelope ad-
dressed to John Tenipphahn, Io2 StockN
weather avenue, Cleveland. A dispatch
was sent to that address and brought
the father of the man on the evening
train.
In regard to the affair the father says
that his son has been engaged in cigar
making in Cleveland. Having some diff
fculty he drew some of his money from
the bank and was supposed to have gone
to Toledo. The father discredits the
story of suicide which was started. No
money was found on the body, and this
together with the fact that two tramps
were noticed in his company Wednesday
afternoon, show pretty conclusively that
he was murdered. Officers are invests
eating the affair but as yet have made
no arrests.
LATER.-A Ravenna dispatch, August
10th says: The coroner this morning
held an inquest over the body of John
Tenipphahn, found dead at Mantua Sta>
ton, Thursday, and found that death
was caused by bullet fired by party
unknown. The officers are working the
matter and are confident of arresting the
guilty party.

PENNSYLVANIA is little excited over
the discovery that there has been an
Overissue of about seventy. five thousand
dollars of State bonds, of which there lie
no record. Ever since last March an in
vestigation has been quietly going on,
which has resulted in the discovery that
the overissue was made in 1858, when
John NJ. Bickel, of Philadelphia, was
State Treasurer. 1t appears that he was
a defaulter, and the bonds were issued
and sold to cover up his defalcation. The

is undeniable; because the books con-
tanning record of the issuance of the
1853 loan have been lost or destroyed,
and no method can be invented to dis.

Consequently the Legislature must be
invoked TO authorize the payment of the
