sion that has occurred in this city for
some time.
Rev. George ID. Lindsay exchanged pulpits
with Rev. Mr.. Pottle of Bath who preached
effective and interesting sermons. He was
liked very much.
Mr.. ii. w. Jewett has commenced piling
logs along the shores of the mill pond for
winter use. A ten horse power donkey en-
CINE is employed, and the ease with which
they are handled show that no small pile can
be made in one day. Business is booming
with Mr.. Jewett.
Mrs. w. ID. Haley has opened a new mil
linerv store in the Williamson block. 1t has
been newly painted outside and inside and
fitted up in first-class style and presents Il

An Insane Lady Marie. a Negro.

CHICAGO, September 20. At Galesburg,
this morning, Miss Chase (who was nearly
insane was married to a negro named Sam
Monroe. Being sequestered by relatives. she
was brought into town and with her three
brothers and uncle entered the train TO go to
Peoria. Monroe, who had been released from
jail-where he had been confined for theft
appeared on the platform and walking de-
family up to the party said ;-''Good morn
ing. brother Horace" Whereupon the man
addressed knocked HIM down. He then
borrowed revolver and began to shoot.
chasing the negro through the crowd. Monroe
was hit in the arm, but not hurt much, and
eventually escaped. Much excitement exists
among the negroes, who all side with Monroe
and among the white population. whose SYM
pathies are on the other side. conserv ator
has been appointed for Miss Chase in Chicago

Colby University Notes.

We have been kept in anxious suspense the
past week, over election returns. The boys
are aroused to the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm. We are almost unanimous for Gar
fieid.-A very large number went home to
vote, last week. Probably full as many will
go in November.-We had quite an interest
ing time here last Saturday night. 1t was
announced about college in the afternoon,
that the democrats were to have pow-wow
in the evening here, and at Fairfield. What
they were to celebrate over we couldn't de-
vine, but we were finally told that having a
little money left over, they thought they
might AS well waste it in powder and oil as
any other way. In the evening promis-
cuous crowd marched to the depot cheering
for Hancock. We were there to receive
them. and at the signal of one of our num-
Der. Colby gave vent to her feelings. Cheer
after cheer rent the air for Garfield, and be-
fore the train left for Fairfield, we carefully
taught our Hancock brothers the way to
spell the name of the next Governor-DAvIs.
At Fairfield they listened to one of the char
acteristic speeches of a Brown gentleman
who has considerably faded since election
| Tuesday; the immortal tabulator stated he
was 'the happiest man in the State but
Saturday night he saw fit to moralize on the
iTduus ol lhe republican party, HIS Feelings
naturally taking a melancholy turn. On
the return of the Hancock party to Water
vile, they did the simplest and most injudi-
cious thing possible to spite the students.
They brought their borrowed cannon on to
the campus, and blazed away at sold Colby"
We were equal to the emergency, however.
The whole college turned out armed, not
with guns to be sure, but with what proved
to be far more exasperating to our oppo-
nents-tin horns. DO their best, we COM
pletely drowned them out. After contesting
the ground for nearly a half hour, the van
quished crowd ingloriously retired.-There
was a close contest here, Saturday, between
the Freshman and Sophomore base ball mines.
There was sharp playing on both sides. The
result showed victory for the Sophomores :;

the Ewing Guards, and were halted. They
responded with vollev of musketry. The
fire was returned and kept up for five

from both ridges, but scattered and fled pre-
cipitately after the troops had fired two
rounds. They made an effort afterwards to
organize and make another onslaught, but
could not succeed. The striking miners are
said to be returning to their homes at Shaw

the attack is said to have been 800. 1t is
