GEO. w. SLOAN, of the town of Water
town, received the democratic nomination
fer superintendent of schools at the dem
ocratic convention last Saturday. The
convention which placed Mr.. Sloan in
nomination was an apathetic and listless
affair and seemed to be: indifferent as to
whom it nominated. This fact is evil
denced by the nominee for superinten-
dent. Mr.. Sloan has no especial fitness
for the position, and indeed we might
say that he isiincompetent to discharg e
the duties Of the Office. The demo
Gratis have before now presented good
many poor men as candidates for county
offices, but never to our recollection have
they placed before the people as weak a
candidate as Mr.. Sloan He has no pro-
fessional standing among men Of his call
ing and will not receive the support of a
single intelligent teacher in the county
We trust that the schools of this county
are not destined to be presided over by a
man who knows as little of school mat
tiers as the democratic candidate His
election would amount to little more
than burlesque.

ga PROPHET is not without honor save
in his own country''-or in other words
the Boss of the Watertown democracy is
Of more consequence politically anywhere
else than he is at home. He worked
early and late to be elected a delegate
from this assembly district to the demo
cratic state convention, but it was no 90.
Others wanted the honors, and of course
the poor boss had to stand aside. But
not discouraged at the little attention
which was paid to his wants in this as
sembly district the would-be great polite
ian sought to be delegate from the SEN
atorial district, and we are glad to say
he succeeded in securing the coveted
prize. The convention had not the
heart to refuse him so small a favor, after
his experience at home. We think the
Watertown democrats are cruel to let
this man do all the thinking and plan
ming for them, and then as soon as he
wants any political favors, which is not
very often as every knows, step on him
the way they did at the assembly dis
trict convention here last week. Such
treatment will dishearten the bravest
spirit in time A continuation of this
kind of business will drive this man from
their ranks, and then who will plan and
think for the democracy of this city?
We would remark incidently that the re-
publican ranks are always open to +, ceive
men of brains and ambition.

a sharp Horse Trade

Yesterday morning, James Crockett
residing at No. ;829 Walnut street, ap.
piled TO Patrick Maloney to trade horses
mr.. Maloney was not satisfied with the
proposition and told Crockett that he
would have 10 let his horse be tried.
He offered Maloney 40 to "boot" If he
would trade, but 1t was refused till after
the tai |. Maloney told Crockett to go
to the sand hole at Thirteenth and Wal
nut where boy was engaged in fauling
sand and let his horse be- put to work.
This Crockett did, and after the horses
had changed places, his (Crocketps)
horse being hitched to Maloney's sand
cart, he told the hoy that Malonev and
himself had ma lie an g nent, where.
1y he was to pay the lad 80 and take a
receipt, and become possessor of the
horse owned by Maloney, and leave his
nag to draw the cart. He boy not sus-
pecting the trick, did this and Crockett
went his way. The horse he left behind
him turned ont to be good for nothing,
it is alleged, giving out before going
fifty yards. Maloney, hearing Of this
took the horse and went to Crockett to
get his own animal, but was shown the
receipt. A writ of replevin has been
taken out.

All About an Awning

A little excitement was created this
morning on Market street, above Fifth,
the cause of the excitement being an
awning.
The premises were No. sos Market
street, which was formerly occupied by
W. b. Jefieris as a dry good store. Since
Mr.. Jefferis removed, the store has not
been occupied permanently, but one day
last week party moved in and opened
an auction room. In front of the store
is pea nut stand, over which there is
an awning to keep off the bright rays OF
the sun.
1t appears that the awning belonged to
the owner of the pea nut stand, land when
he endeavored to put it down one of the
men in the store forbid him doing it,
which command soon led to controver-
sy. the pea nut man contending that he
owned the awning and had right to pul
it down, while the auctioneer stood brave
| ly by and prevented the pea nut mar
from carrying out his resolve to put dow
the awning. A crowd son collected and
pistols were talked of. The auctionee
was unmoved and retained his hold OF
the awning strings.

New YORK, June 11.-Mrs. Jane L..
D. f. Hull, aged so, wife of DR.. A.

An examination of the premises showed
that an entrance had been effected
through the front door, as that was found
open and all other parts of the house Sc
cure. The doctor occupied rooms on the
top floor and his wife alone occupied the
back parlor on the first floor. Mrs. Hull
retired at the usual hour last evening
and no disturbance was heard during the
night.
At 7 this morning one of the servants
discovered her lying dead on her back in
the bed in a semi-nude condition, on3
foot bound to either rail Of the bed, her
hands bound across her breast and tied
d the elbows. A piece of sheeting was
strapped around Mrs. Hulls neck and

tuslons and slight wounds. The mur-
derers cut two rings from her finger, one
containing a large diamond and the
other costly emerald. tits consider

well dressed and intelligent looking man
about 80 years of age with very white
locks, ran out of the car on the depot
platform and acted in very wild man

The conductor, and several who assisted
him had much difficulty in getting him
back into the car. 1t was said by some
that the man was insane and that parties
had paid his fare at Baltimore for New
Y ork and left him to get along as best
he could. Detective Legg telegraphed To
