An Accident to Cincinnatians in Virginia.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Nlli lilldll Efi'lttiANis
Mr. VIM. j. O'Neil, the well known
member Of the Board of Education, with
his family, and a number OF friends are
spending the heated term in the noun
tainS of West Virginia. Among the
number is Miss Kate Armstrong, sister
oi Mr. Frank Armstrong, Superlnten.
dent oi the Western Union Telegraph
Company, a teacher in our puDlic
schools. and one oi the lealing active
members Of the Davenport Club. Mr..
Scheidamantel and family and Major
Evans, of this city, are also
of the party. \ recent paper,
the ERtrPrts, OF Beverly, West
Va, gives an account OF trip made by
these tourists i'm the mountains, and an
accident that came near resulting seri-
unsly to Miss Armstrong. 1t appears
that Mr.. O'Neal and family, Major
Evans and Miss Armstrong, accom-
panied hv a Miss Laura Arnold, of Buck
hannon, W. Va, left Beverly a few days
since on pleasure trip through the
mountains To Greenbrier Springs. As
they were driving through a small place
called Mill Greek, and were passing a
church in which religious services were
in progress, some one kicked dog ont
of the church door, landing him in
the middle Of the street, Just rs the
carriage containing Miss Armstrong
and Mrs. Laura Arnold had arrived in
front of the Church. The horse became
frightened at the sudden appearance of
the yelping dog and ran away, tossing
the carriage around rs though it was a
toy, playing smash generally and throw
ing both ladies 10 the ground. They
landed against a bed of huge and jagged
rocks, and their friends first thought
both were killed. Miss Armstrong was
badly and painfully bruised, but fOrtu-
nately not seriously injured, Her friend,
Mrs. Arnold, was picked up unconscious,
reuloved to Beverly, and the paper quo
ted from states, was in very critical
coalition, with but little hope for her
recovery. They narrowly escaped be-
ing thrown over high cliff OF the noun

CARLISLE, August 5.-About 9 o'clock
last night a negro, whose name can not
now be ascertained, was shot in the back
of the head from the bushes about half
a mile from Blue Lick Springs, this
county, and instantly killed. He had
lust started for home with man by the
name of Pat Rafferty,, with whom he
was living. Suspicion seems to point to
Rafferty,, although no warrant has as
yet been issued.

Joseph Beckner was accidentally shot

Yesterday, by one Smelling, who was at
tempting to shoot another man.

murder which soon after followed, harsh
and angry words ensued between the
murdered woman and the two visitors
who committed the blOod-curdling
tragedy. During the war OF words the
man drew a pistol and shot TinnS

DISASTROUS RAIN STORMS IN GER
MANY.
No Summer, but Rain Every Day; the
Crops Ruined-Speech Of Lord Bea-
consfeId at the Lord Mayors
Banquet-0ther News.
sneech Of Lord Reaconsfield.


A LONDON, August 6.-At the Lord Ma
yor's banquet, at the Mansion House, to-
night, Beaconsfeld replying to the toast
"Iler Majcsty's Ministers" said; When
] last addressed you affairs appeared to
have assumed a very critical aspect.
We were accused of negotiating an en-
tirely impracticable treaty, and it was
charged that under the pretext OF ac-
quiring a scientific Indian frontier We
had launched the country into a war OF
disasters. This impracticable treaty
has been fully executed. Not 4 single
Russian soldier now remains in Turkey.
The Car has hOnorably fulfilled his
engagements, and is now cooper
ating with England and other pow
ers in endeayOrs to maintain peace.
1t has been stated that Turkey has not
been so faithful in executing her en-
gagemcntS, and that consequently we
had not realized the reforms in her
provinces promised by the Sultan, bnt
it is only lust TO consider that her do
mains were only few dBys since freed
from the presence OF the invader, and
that since the signature OF the treaty OF
Berlin questions more numerous and
more difficult in the Encouragement of
the Turkish provinces have risen before
the Sultan than have probably risen
within the same time before any mon
arch heretofore. | do not wish to add
ANYTHING relative to the treaty OF Berlin.
This treaty has taken its place among
the archives OF the capitals OF
Europe. Its end is to assure
general peace, and if dangers
and difficulties supervene in countries
10 which the treaty specially relates, ]
believeits conditions and resources will
suffice Tor every eventuality. Regard
ing the Indian frontier, the object OF the
war has been accomplished with great
precision and rapidity. Relative to the
Zulu war, it is believed that i'll a very
short time news will arrive of the salts
factory solution OF all African questions.
AS to the commercial depression OF the
country, one of the secondary causes is
imprudent speculation.
Damaging Rain storms in Germany.
New York, August 6.-The ErcHing
Post has a letter from gentleman III
Eastern Germany, who says there has
been no summer, but rain nearly every
day. In some place harvesting has
begun, but unless we have some warm,
dry weather soon much OF the grain
must rot in the fields. At least half OF
the wheat was lying flat and tangled in
the fields, beaten down by the rain
storms. Added to this an immense
amount of grain and other food crops
were destroyed by inundations last
month, and # looks as ii America would
be called upon to feed Germany, as well
as France and England, next winter.
The accounts from Russia are also not
very encouraging In short the entire
Weld of breadstuils will fall considerably
below that of last year.
Capital Puni,hment Restored.
PARIS. August 6.-The Landrath OF
the Canton oi Uri, Switzerland, voted to
restore capital punishment lor murder,
and for arson when involving loss of
lie. The law requires to be ratified by
4 plebiscite.

With reference 10 thetwO main points
at issue between Us | have moth
in. further to say. endeayOred TO
stat, my views briefly and without going
into any lengthy argument to support
them. In taking leave OF the subject /
will simply say that do not see any
thing i'm your rejoinder OF this morning
Ia induce me to change the opinions ex-
pressed in my communication Of the
same day. hope We may hear from
some one else on the question.
4 few words concerning bonds in aD-
pciS and certified eases, m refercnce tn
which YOU think | contradict myself;
In denving that the Legislature has the
power to require bond in cases trans
ierrri from a Justice under Sec. 80 OF
Art. :. I base my opinion on the word
ing at the clause itself, which permit me
10 quote:
Where the amount claimed shall eN-
cerd twenty dollars, on the application
Oi the defendant. either IN person or 10y
counsel. made AT any time before trial,
il shall be the duty of the Justice OF the
Peace 10 transmit the papers m the case
to the Clerk Of the County
court 10 De therein tried. This gives
to party positive right, under the
circumstances therein specified, 10 have
his case removed to the county court.
These circumstances or conditions are
three, viz:
|. That the amount claimed shall eN-
ceei twenty dollars.
>. That the deiendent shall make ap-
plication in person or by counsel.
3. That the application shall be made
before trial.
Now, my point is that, in the absence
OF anv general words % that effect,
there is no power in the Legislature 10
impose any conditions ON this right
other than those expressed I'M the Con
stitution itself Concerning aPpealS, i
saii nothing about the Constitution au-
thorizing am appeal But taking your
view as tar aS we can, let us see how TAR
| contradicted myself and whether
there Is no. a distinction, not without a
difference, in the constitutional prOyi-
sions concerning appeals and certified
eases. cur Constitution OF 1872, So
far as have observed, contains no Pro-
vision at all granting appeals from
Justices. Section n Oi article re-
co,nizes the right oi the Legislature
To authorize appeals; and, as the Legis-
lature might or might not exercise tins
right, according aS it might see tit, So
also il could unquestionably exercise II
i'm any reasonable manner that II might
see iii, and make the giving Of bond a
condition precedent 10 the appeal
In the Constitution of lS,r;, Art. VII,
section n, We find this language: "ln
all eases am appeal shall Tie, ,uId'r such
rcJpltiiDi,s as mug D, prescribed by ttT,
from the judgment or proceedings OF
Justice.
Do You observe the wUrlS italicized?
And had Won observed their "conSpicu-
Gus absence from the clause Oi section
33. Art. :, above quoted? Ii SO, hope
YOU can now perceive that your humble
servant may think there is distinction
between the two cases without neces-
sarilv contralicting himself.
Yours, LUCUS.

Is active pursuit of pleasure or gain,
the incstimable blessing Of health is too
often forgotten until disease is firmly
seated, and the fact only realized by
great bodily and mental suffering. The
Liver is the vulnerable point IN most

hence the reason why under the Liver
