PAT GILMORE'S
Band q Great Success, Continues to
Give Concerts in Germany-The
Statement that he was q
Failure Untrue.

New York World: The World reporter,
on entering "Aschenbrodel Verein" in Fourth
street, last evening, found number of must
clans discussing the success of Gilmore s
band, as reported In a dispatch from Boston
last evening. The Boston Journal had said
that private letter, just received from a
member of the band, dated July 18th, repre-
sented the band as being IN Germany fulfill
ing engagements for eighteen concerts. It
further announced that they had everywhere
been received with enthusiasm; that their
salaries had been regularly paid every week,
and that they had flattering engagements Of
fered them for all concerts they can possibly
give in the autumn.
SIS this the truth, do you SUPPOSED" was
asked of one of the Aschenbrodels.
This much is true, he said; II have just
received a letter from my father, dated July
18th, at Lille, France, in which he says:
"'We played last night to packed house;
the band was splendidly received. We intend
to play here again tonight, and go hence to
eff the band have made hit in Cologne"
he continued, "where they were billed to play
July 18th, goth and 2lst, they will continue
on their German tour along the Rhine. They
will take in Dusseldorf and Elberfeldt and
other cities, and wind up finally at Ham
buro, whence they return to England for the
fall"
'Have any of the band sent home money!"
On, yes; several. 1nere nave come In
stalments of forty dollars, fifty dollars, and
one hundred dollars at q time, since the big
success at Lille"
The informant was young Mr.. Jordan,
whose father plays the cornet.
A letter of similar purport had been written
by Mr.. Zlim, a horn player; another by Mr..
Beck, horn player, and still another by Mr..
Bernstein to his brother. The latter showed
the reporter also a batch of French papers
containing laudatory notices of the band.
1t appears that at Paris Mr.. Gilmore had
received loan of three thousand dollars.
Twenty-Five hundred dollars had been laid
aside to pay the return passage Of the COM
pany in case of disbandment. The Lille
trip raised the spirits of everybody. Mr..
Koch, who had been the advance agent, had
resigned his position, but a trip to Cologne
impressed him with the belief that the peo-
pie there were on the tip-toe of expectation,
and that the band had prospects of great
success. He Immediately rehabilitated him
self with Gilmore, and good news is expect
ed to-day or tomorrow from Cologne.
''But the report that before the band
reached Lille they had been successful in
France is all nonsense" added Mr.. Bern
stein. ''The dividend declared when they
left Paris gave each man one dollar on ac-
count of salary DUE

JACKSON, TENN.
The Madison County Democracy APP
point Delegates to the state Con-
ventiOn, and Declare for Cen
eraI Campbell for
Governor.

From an Occasional Correspondent OF the Appeal
JACKSON, TENN, August 5.-We had
convention of the county Democrats to-day,
and appointed delegates to our State conven-
ton. No platform of principles was adopted,
and General A. w. Campbell was declared to
be the choice,of Madison county for governor.
Campbell made an eloquent speech in re-
Spouse to the resolution, in which he paid a
high compliment to Colonel Fleming, of
Knoxville, asserting that he was his choice
(Campbell's) for governor; that he deserved
well of the rebel element of the Democracy,
having defended it in the dark days of
Brownlow rule. General Campbell is in
splendid health, and is really the most effect
ire stump orator in Tennessee. He has per-
sonal magnetism, high courage, and knows
than Gardiner, of Weakley, and could rally
the young men of the State to his standard
If he wants the position, there is no doubt
he can get it. What does Shelby county say?

THREE BOSTON MOUNTAIN
MOOnshiners Captured by the United
States MarshaI's Deputies-ReV.
Thompson Mutt Dollar and
his Two Brothers.

Little Rock Democrat: Saturday night,
Ham Woodward, a deputy United States
marshal, with a posse brought to the city
three prisoners charged with violating the
United States revenue laws. Their names
are Rev. Thompson Mutt and Freeman and
James Dollar. This morning they had a
hearing before United States Commissioner
Ralph Goodrich, and Parson Thompson and
Freeman Dollar were bound over in the sum
of one thousand each, while James Dollar
was acquitted on the ground that there was
not sufficient evidence against HIM to con-
vict. The Dollar brothers have had an I'M
enviable reputation IN Pope coun-
reporter interviewed Parson Mutt
for the purpose of eliciting information in
regard to them. The parson promised his
remarks by saying that he was as innocent
of the charges brought against him as new
born babe, and could account for his arrest
on no other ground than malice. He stated
that he had known the Dollar brothers for
some time, and two of them at least had
borne good characters. Of William Dollar
he knew little, but James and Freeman he
considered as good citizens. With very
few isolated cases, he thought Illinois bayou,
where they were captured, which lsson the
border of Pope county, Is composed of as
good and law abiding citizens as any place In
the State. Freeman Dollar is about thirty
of the desperate air about him which we ex-
pected to find. His brother James is
three years younger, slim and sal
low complexion, while Parson Mutt
is tall, dark featured, an excellent talker
and very agreeable. VIM. Dollar, whom the
officers failed to capture, has terrorized over
the people of that section for years, and is
now in the woods, armed cap-a- pie, and
swears he will kill any officers of the State or
United States government who cross his path.
Boston mountains are considered one of the
worst, if not very worst, sections of Arkansas
for moonshiners, and ever since Marshal
Torrans entered upon the duties of his Office
be has exerted every energy toward breaking
up this illegal business and to bring the Of
Tenders before the law. AS an evidence of
how well he is succeeding, it is only necessary
to- mention that since he inaugurated his
raids In the Boston mountains he has cap
tured over sixty persons charged with illicit
nearly all of whom have been con-
victed and sentenced.

Outraged by Two Black Rrutes.

Baltimore dispatch of the fifth to the Gin
cinnad Enquirer: Intelligence was received
in this city this evening of fendish outrage
at Elkton, Cecil county, on Friday last the
victims being Mrs. Wilson, wife Of J. E. VIII
son, prominent lawyer, and his niece, a
young lady Of eighteen, who was visiting in
the family. About eight o'clock Mrs Wilson
and her niece started down the avenue to
make call In the town. When about half
the distance had been traversed, they heard
stealthy footsteps in the underground border
ing on the road, and at the same time saw
two men creeping toward them. The terri
lied ladies' had not taken ten steps before they
found themselves In the grip of two brawny,
repulsive-loo negroes, who threatened to
kill them If they made an outcry. Mrs. Will
son screamed wildly and endeavored to break
away from her assailant, who choked her in a,
brutal manner to make her desist. The young
girl Joined with her aunt in screaming, and
fought frantically with the second man who
had clasped her in his arms Being naturally
strong and rendered stronger by fear, the girl
finally succeeded in wrenching herself free
from the scoundrel's embrace and ran up the
avenue toward the house shrieking. Her as
saiiant followed, and finding he could not
overtake the girl returned to the scene where
Mrs. Wilson was still feebly struggling with
the second brute. The elder lady was in q
senseless condition when found a moment
later by a young man who, hearing the
screams, ran to the scene. The two negroes
had disappeared, evidently frightened off by
his approach. They were, however, subse-
quently arrested, and are in jail. Mrs. Will
son lies in critical condition. The young
lady is considerably bruised, and had all her
clothes torn off.

THOSE SPOONS
And the Swords of the Late General
Twigg-What was Done with Them
Vouchers well Kept.

Washington letter to the Detroit Post: A
daughter of General Twigg called on Butler
to secure the return of her fathers swords.
Upon stating the subject of her visit, after
surprising polite reception, General Butler
told her the history of the two swords.
after their capture l sent them to Wash
ington, with the suggestion that one of them
be donated to the Annapolis academy and the
other to West Point, as exemplars of what
base uses may be made of honorary weapons,
sometimes said Benjamin, unmindful Of
the lady s slight writing upon this applica-
ton OF the thumb-screw. But my advice
was not taken. They were subsequently,
safe keeping, and one of the duplicate keys
handed over to me-" With a few more
words as t0'how they might be regained, Mr..
Butler added, "but, my dear madam, you
have never asked me about your family plate,
with whose gorgeousness / have been sup
posed to decorate my festive board, and
through the agency of which various

madam, almost Immediately upon the
evacuation of your fathers premises, and

laying his hand on an orderly pile of papers,

HOW Miss saith was Buried.

The Hartford Times supplies some addi-
tional interesting "reminiscences of the Glas-
tonbury sisters, and thus describes Miss abb
gail 81. Smith s burial on Thursday after
noon: "Their religion, like their fathers,
has been peculiar. He ceased to be preach
err because he said it was not right for any
minister or professional exponent of the laws
of heaven to stand between any person and
his God; in matters pertaining to the soul
and the future life, he said, every individual
should be left to commune with heaven di-
rectly, or at least in his own way, without
direction from any s6-called minister of the
gospel This belief was shared by most, If
not all, of his family. The result has been,

Kate sotbern,s .Punishment,

Macon (Ga.) Messenger, 9th: This bloody
dame is reported to be very serene and happy
in her penitentiary quarters, and gets along
on about half the work she would be required
to do at home. Nor, according to letter
published IN the Savannah NeiCs, written by
the famous Kate herself, is she even required
to wear the usual striped garments of the
convict. With her husband close at hand,
and drawing better pay than he has earned
in his life before, the wonian-slayer seems by
no means to be an object of sympathy or pity.
The Old Capital says it has been suggested
that Hates husband Dob Sothern) lease her
himself and carry her home; but it is proba-
bic that Kate wouldn't listen to such a pro-
posal. This is bad showing for the convict
lease system. 1t may save the State some
thing and prove highly profitable to the
lessees, but as a punishment for crime the
experiment is wellnigh worthless. Moderate
work, with good rations under the free vault
of heaven, and doctors bills and all expenses
paid, might well be regarded as a godsend
by the average tramp and vagsbond. Where,
save in the mere partial duress, is the punish
ment?
