A Serious and singular Loss.

BALTIMORE, October 1l.-Mrs. Emma
Simms, residing at No. 1928 Fifth street,
northwest, Washington city, but stopping
in Baltimore, dropped package Of notes,
amounting 10 S1,390, from her pocket on
north Gay street near Dallas street about 10
O'Clock to-day. The money, somewhat scat
tered about, was picked up by Mr.. John
Myers. He remembered that it was the day
Of the grand procession, aud looked upon
the shower OF greenbacks as a sham or
some advertising deluson. lie at once re-
solved to make it a complete giye-way, and
handed around the money to all who de-
sired il with an abandon beautiful to behold.
Scenes that were udcrous in the extreme
ensued, though their ending was serious
The idea OF Mr. Myers took readily, and i've
cent cigars were cOOlly lighted with twenty
dollar notes, nearly all the money being
in notes OF that denomination. Street
gamins pasted few around on awning
posts to deceive unsuspectug strangers. A
boy sold one S20-note for 25 cents, and 1t is
said $500 additional were sold Tor the same
amount. lady, residing not far away,
got q S20-note, which she said she would
keep in memory Of the great celebration.
A friend begged her for it that she might
frame it and keep if, and the lady gave 1t
to her. Mrs. Simms meanwhile informed
Officer Gibson OF her loss. He FASTENED TO
the spot and managed to recover $3.50 OF
the amount, among it the S2O-note gotten
by the lady mentioned above. The dis
covery OF the facts caused CONSERVATION
among those who bad so freely made away
with what they believed to be bogus trea-
sure, and much regret was expressed for
the loss sustained by Mrs. Smms. The
case is decidedly one Of the most singular
on record.

The closeuess of the alliance between the
Republcans and the Readjusters received
a significant testimony last night at mass
meeting OF the negroes held in Jackson
Hall. Resolutions denOuncing the action
of General Williams G. Wickham in issuing
a circular calling upon the Republicans to
support their own party nominations, and
no other, were unanimously adopted. AS
Republicans" say the negroes, "we VIII
not obey the behests OF one Williams Wick
ham and a political iunta at Richmond
eaeued with our old enemy the Bourbon
Democracy OF Virginia" The meeting
also petitioned The National Committee 10
remove General Wickham from the cleo
toral ticket, declaring that under no
circumstances will they support him,
and endorsing Frazier for Congress
and Garfield for President with the
warmest feeling. G.. NJ. Wicklitfe, who
was State Treasurer OF Louisiana, and
who goes by various aliases in this neigh
borhood, addressed The meeting. and urged
the support OF the Readjusters' ticket en-
tire on the ground that the Republican
party In Virginia was dead. But the col
0red brother didn't see it in that light, and
resolved TO divide bis fayors between Gar
field (minus Wickham) and the roaring Fra
Zier.
A new Hancock and English club has
been organized at Brookneal, with r. n.

Campbell Courthouse on yesterday, and all
hands agree that the General disposed OF
him very neatly and completely. Speeches
were also made by Hon. Thomas White

emf husastic response was made by the atl-
dience, who are all red-hot for Hancock

Torn 90 Pieces by n Tiger.

G.. A. Courtney, proprietor and manager
OF the Biological Circus bearing bis name,
wrote to the New York Clipper from san
Domingo, w. l., September l6th, as under
Last night at IL O'Clock the well-knOwn
lion-tamer, Herr Elijah Lengel, OF Phila-
delphia, Pa, entered the den OF Brazilian
tigers attached TO this circus, and had nearly
concluded bis performance with them when
he made false step, and one OF the tigers
caught him by the head and neck, and in
less Than five minutes he was torn to pieces.
His jugular.vein WAS cut, his ear on the
right side completely eaten of, and his
body was a mass of maDg led flesh aud bones.
The tent was densely packed with people,
and the sceHe that followed it is impossible
to describe. The guard and also few pri-
yate individuals commenced firing with re-
yOlyers and rifles at the tiger, and soon
killed 1t, thereby enabling the attaches TO
drag the body OF Lengel through the COM
partment. The remaining living tiger at
once fell upon The dead animal in the pre-
seuce Of the audience, and tore 1t into ira2-
ments. No pen can describe the horror OF
this scene"

Now this IS pretty state OF things. The

resentatives. These Pennsylvania mouopo-
lists are no doubt GARFIELD Republicans,
who have subscribed ten times as much
money towards the waving of the bloody
shirt and paying for iibels upon the south

FRAZIER to defeat Ran. TUCKER.
Let the farmers OF the Sixth district re-
sent this attempt from abroad to put down
. faithful public servant who has reflected
honor upon Virginia and upon his con-
stituents.
We have had the above extract In our
possession several Gays. We would not re-
produce II until we had allowed the Wig
ample time to deny its truth. Our neigh
boris silence seems to be confession that
the statement is true, as 1t Is hardly posi-

not only 10 the Lyncbburg Yirgi1Gon but
in the DanviIle Post, from which latter pa
per it yesterday quoted several paragraphs.
At any rate that journal can now say wbe-
Their the statements contained in the above
extract are true. We do not mean to say that
there is anything wrong in furnishing as
many copies OF the Waig as Mr.. FRAZIER or
any body else chooses to subscribe for and
pay for. What we want to know is whether
the Wing is engaged in and approves Of this
conspiracy Of the bloated monopolists OF
Pennsylvania-th enemies OF Virginia and
OF her interests and the enemies OF the
Democratic party-to defeat one OF the most
honored Of Virginia's congressman Surely
the voters OF the Sixth district will rush TO
the polls and put the seal of their condemna-
tion upon this attempt OF the Republican
party, through it's agents in Pennsylvania,
to force congressman upon them who will
vote as these Pennsylyanians tell him to
gOte.

ORGANIZATION OF A DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
CLUB-A THRIVING TOwN-sUDDEN DEATH.
Correspondence OF the Richmond D!spatch.l
OCTOBER IL, 1880.
A Hancock and English and Garrison club
was organized here on the 9Th instant, with
John A. McKenna, Esq, as president. 1t
started with sixty members, and promises
TO do much good. A great deal OF enthu-
,iasm prevails, and its members seem in
earnest.
We expect to have a pole.raising, at
which time speakers will be invited from a
distance.
The prospect for the regular ticket and
Judge Garrison is very encouraging in this
section. In the upper part OF this county
there are few ResdI who will vote
for the 7th-of.July ticket, but in the lower
part there are but few Readiusters, and
they, almost without an exception, declare
their pun pose to support the regular ticket
John w. WollZ, Esq, Republican clndi-
date for Congress from this district, spoke
here Saturday night. He has very serious
opposition in all this section from his own
party, and does not stand a ghost OF a
chance.
West Point is thriving. More building
is going on here than has ever been known.
The Piedmont Airline is carrying an i'm
mense quantity OF freight through here.
The cotton freight has been especially heavy.
The agent tells me that they carried one
million pounds more OF freight during this
than last September. The artesian well
lately dug here in order to supply the en-
gines OF the railroad company with water is
a great success and quite a curiosity. The
water is strongly impregnated with sulphur.
A negro man employed at the wharyes
died very suddenly Saturday morning. He
had been engaged all night loading one OF
the ships, seemingly well and cheerful, and
died about O'Clock the next morning.

UNACCOUNTABLE SUICIDE OF A RESPECTABLE
CITIZEN CONDITION OF Mr.. GRADY, WHO
WAS INJURED AT BIG BEND-THE EVE OF
ELECTION.
Correspondence Of the Richmond DisDatch.i
OCTOBER III, 1880.
Mr.. William Allen, a highly-reS pecJed
citizen OF this county, was found dead in
his barn Yesterday evening suspended by a
rope from the roof above. Shortly previous
Mr.. Aliens wife, daughter, and son-in-law
left him in his room at home and went after
some chestnuts. They were gone about
three quarters OF an hour, when Mrs. Allen
left the woods for home. her daughter and
sOn-in-law going across The field 10 their OVID
home. When she reached home, not find
ing Der husband in the room, she feared he
had gone out and perhaps fallen and tainted,
as he was very weak, and went out to search
for him. Not finding him in any Of the
houses near the dwelling, she went off to
the barn, and getting to the passage-way OF
the barn she saw her husbands hOdy
hanging from the roof above. She attempt
ed TO lift il, but was unable 10 do so.
She then went outside and screamed loudly,
running for her son-in-law's home. From
the time she saw the body in the barn she
remembered nothing till some time after
wards, the great shock Grazing her for a
time. This morning l.. NJ. Dunn, justice
OF the peace, aud DR.. BlUbaugh, left town
for Mr.. liens residence TO hold an inquest
over the dead body The jury rendered
verdict Of voluntary hanging. The sad az
fair has cast gloom over the whole COM
mupity. No cause for the act is known, as
Mr.. Allen was in good circumstances, own
ed Gne farm, aud has been for many years
member Of the Baptist Church, often
prayed publicly, and his neighb0rs say had
no enemy. He has been for some time
great sufferer from chronic disease, which
caused him great distress.

Stuff.

What does the Richmond correspondent
Of the New York Herald mean by telegraph.
ang to that journal such stuff as that which
the Wig Of Yesterday reproduces, yet re-
produces without the least confidence in its
truth, as Is evidenced by the comments made
apen it.! From whom did he " have" his
:" weiLauthenticated rumor to the effect that
beading authorities OF the Democratic party
will not risk an election with two HANCOCK
tiGkets In the field"? The story is Absurd
on it's face. There are no leading authori-
tiesv in the Democratic party In Nir-
ginia except the State Central Commit.
Tee and the State Executive Committee.
These have given indubtable proof
that they have no idea OF Withdrawing the
regular Democratic ticket by refusing to go
into q primary election with General MA
HOMES "faithiul 0llies." That refusal was
sent to any such election 10 which negroes
were not permitted to participate. Does
not the Herald man iknOp, therefore, that
h is "rumor" Is unworthy Of repetition?
II Mr. K0rNER, or Mr.. KELLEY, or either OF
their committees, had had any desire to get
theregular ticket out Of the field, it would
have been the easiest matter in the world
1ortbem to have agreed TO submit the ques-
tion OF its retirement to the negroes of
Virginia, who would have voted 1t of the
track with shout oftriumph. The Wig
says'that it "places no great reliance upon
itforsthis reason-thattbe hell-bent FuDder
leaders in Virginia care nothing for the
election OF HANCOCK and ENGLISH unless
they 'cas carry Virginiaior themselves, and
will prefer to help the Republicans carry II
Cor GARFIELD and ARTHcR II thereby they
can defeat the Readiusters." The Herald
nan ought to be more careful Of his own
reputation aud Of the reputation OF the
great journal which be represents than to
telegraph as worthy OF psibiicalion sen<a-
tional rumors which the one party discred-
ft& as above. and the other pronounces abb
sapd and false.
