ANOTHER STEAM WAGON.

ANOTHER STEAM WAGON.
BELoIT, June 4.-For months past the
people of Beloit have been watching
with an anxious interest the manufacture
of a selfpropelling steam road wagon,
the invention and make of Mr.. George
A. Gilmore of this city. At last the
wagon made its appearance upon our
streets, making a successful trip from
the west over the bridge and up and
down some Of our principal streets on
the east side of the river, and finally to
the depot for shipment. The motor is
the result of long conceived idea, and
the inventor has been applying his mind
to the working out OF the problem which
this exhibition proves he has succeeded
In doing. Mr.. Gilmore has gotten up
his engine with special reference to the
level prairies and large farms of the
west, whittier he has shipped it, Hutch
inson, Kansas, being its destination.
THE OHIO SITUATION.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-There has
been much talk at the capital to-day con-
corning the Ohio nominations. The
democrats are universally delighted with
them and strangely enough the seem to
give equal satisfaction to the republicans
The republicans are pleased because the
fight is now narrowed down to financial
issues, upon which they contend Ohio is
q republican state. They say the Ger
mans will not support Ewing, because Of
his greenback theories. Per contra, the
democrats insist that the republican par
~ is a minority of the whole number of
voters Of Ohio, and that Ewing will sure

elect him by handsome majority. 1t
see as to be admitted on all hands that
Ewing and Rice form the strongest COM
bination that could have been made by
the democrats. Bishop being q Tilden
man, and Rice pronounced advocate of
Humans claim for the presidency, the
nomination of either Bishop or Rice as
governor would have created discord in
the democratic ranks. Ewing was not a
partisan of either Tilden or Thurman,
and it is claimed that in this point Of
view happy medium was struck by
giving him the first place on the ticket,
with Rice another Union soldier of ex-

SECRET MALEFACToRs IN PALERMO.
4 secret society of malefactors called
Fratuzzi has recently been broken up at
Palermo. tt was duly organized under
one chief, with subdivisions of labor, a
council of directors and its own physi-
elan notary, councillors and apothecary.
An oath bound the members to mutual
defense and succor, and all iufringements
of the rules were punishable with death.
The rites of admission were horrible
The finger of the candidate was pune
turcd, and with the blood issuing from
the wound tie image of some saint was
sprinkled, and the image was then
burned and the ashes were scattered to
the winds. The neophyte was afterward
conducted to the hall wherein was placed
o crucifx. The candidate was stationed
opposite. \ pistol was put in his hand.
and he was required to fire at the cruel
fix. It is supposed that the man who
shoots at the image OF the cruciied Re
deemer will have no sc-uple in killing his
father, son or brother at the will of the
society, and after this proof of his
courage the candidate is dubbed Fratuzzi
and made full member OF the craft,
