THE LIrTLEroN RED MEN.
Arrest OF the Alleged AssaiIers of Long
weil-The Preliminary Examination In

Mnos, W. Va, August II, 1880.
Editors TntelligencRr.
Yesterday morning Special Constable
Lindsey Furguson arrived with Morgan
Smith and Rance vanedine, two Of the
men charged with taking Robert Longwell
out Of his house on last Saturday night
and giving him such brutal switching.
Considerable delay was had on account OF
the prosecution not being able to secure
counsel, and the case was not called until
about s r. NJ, Esquire j, d. Lancaster ap-
pearing for the State, and Esquire Clark
Connolly for the defendants. 1t was very
clearly proven by Longwell that he, recog-
nized Smith and Vanedine by the flashes
OF lightning while they had him down.
and were using the withes on him. And he
also stated that he followed them quite a
distance, and there was such storm OF
rain and wind that they were lost sight OF
in the darkness OF the night, but he still
kept up pursuit, went and got the assist
ance OF some OF bis neighbors, end while
they were preparing to start in search OF
them who had made such villainous as.
sault on him, it was observed that parties
were passing them, and they were watched
and tracked to their place OF concealment.
1t was shown that they had sought
shelter from the rain and storm
in an old building near where
Longwell had lost sight OF them and
he had passed within very few feet of
them. The only way he could see any
object was by the flashes OF lightning.
After the evidence was all taken, the Jus.
tice held them in bond OF $1,000 each
for their appearance at Court. 1t ia the
opinion OF most all the citizens oil Knob
Fork, where they reside, that they have
got the right parties, and 1t is the express
ion OF the community that this pilht
raiding has got to be broken up AtlOP.
NJ, the case va Longwell charging him
with perjury (Dr. Degarmow prosecutor)
was called and continued until 2 r. NJ, to.

business here seems, II anything to keep

Thinks tho Prospects the Finest Eyer
Yet offered.
MONTREAL, August ls.-Hanlan will sail
on the City OF Richmond, from New York
to England, on September 4th, in charge
OF George Hawthorne, steward Of the
Toronto Rowing Club, who has taken the
place OF Heasley, his old trainer. During
the past month Ward, Coulson, Booth,
Sterling and others of his old hackers,
have been considering the feasibility Of
having the people Of Toronto make
up spot" and send 1t in charge
OF an agent, to be bet against the
"pile" OF the Australians, but within a
week, this project was given up. Ward,
Coulson and the other hackers will follow
Haplan across about September IL, and
will bet on Hanlan their bottom dollar.
They, as well as Hanlan, consider the
prospects offered In the coming race as
the most brilliant yet offered, as the peo-
pie in England are inclined 10 bet very
heavily on TriCkett. The Canadian is
now rowing on Toronto bay with his old
time speed and skill, aud feels confident
Of winning. l
ELLIOTT WANTS TG MAKE A RACE.
William Elliott states that he will make
match to row either Geore Hosmer,
American; Blackman, Boyd, Ross or Lay
cock, over the Tyne course in February,
for El00 or E200 side.

Hold Communion with His Maker"-
commencement of the Burr's MILL
Camp Meeting.
BURR's Mill CAMP GROUND, August II.
EdltOrS Intelligencer.
To-day begins the tenth meeting held
in this beautiful grove. The sound OF the
hammer is about all that can be heard.
Busily are the families moving in; go
busy are they that there will be no services
until evening. The meeting will be in
charge OF the new Presiding Elder OF this
district, Rev. Gray. Many will remember
the face and form ol Rev. Carr, who, for
four years has conducted these meetings
with such kindly dignity that all respected
him.
We could not help thinking that all the
care in the setting OF stoves and all the
array OF dishes, and inquiry after eatables
betokened greater care for the bodies
here assembled than could discover for
the immortal souls.
Sawdust has been placed about the
walks, making a pleasant freedom from
dust. Gates have been placed at the en-.
trance to the main circle, the object OF
which Is to stop the incessant promenad.
ing which has always been 80 annoying to
those who wished TO hear the sermons.
The family Of ]. Camp, OF Bellaire, who
were occupying cottage here, have been
obliged TO return home on account OF the
severe illness OF their daughter Annie.
We notice great quantities OF wheat
being bought into the village adjacent TO
here, for shipment Ninety cents Is the
price paid.
We questioned a wool buyer from Bel
mont, two miles east on the q. o. R. r., as
to the market there. He says there is but
little offering at 40 cents, which is the
highest offered. He expressed the opin-
ion that S5 cents would buy 1t after q
while.
This evening will be held the first relig.
ious services, Of them | will apprise you
tomorrow.
A telegraph station has been established
here during the meeting, and All effort will
be made to have all trains stop, which will
no doubt be done, as the railroad company
have always done all they could to accom-
modate persons here.

| ing mill, on Twenty.flrst street, between
Market street and Clark avenue, the
largest and costliest establishment OF the
kind in the city, having twenty run Of
burrs, took fire at half past ten o'clock
last night and is now q mass OF ruins. A
row Of two-story brick residences oppo-
site were very badly damaged, and some
small houses adjoining the mill on the
north were burned. The mill extended
eastward to the tracks Of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, on which. were
several coal and box cars. Some
OF these were also destroyed. The loss
cannot be given at this writing, but 1t will
be heavy. The probabilities are the mill
aud contents are well insured. The mill
was in operation and the fire Is said to
have caught from the over heated ma.
chinery. About an hour later the old
skating rink, a very large wooden building
on Nineteenth street, extending from
Chestnut 70 Fine, took lire and was en-
tirely consumed. The loss on this is
not known at this writing. The mill was
built about three years ago at q cost OF
$4,000, since when some 1000 Of i'm
provements have been added. Insured
for $2S5 900 in from eighty TO ninety com.
panies, mostly eastern and foreign. The
rink was owned by Colonel Charles L.
Hunt, and was used as ariding school and
artillery drill. The building was OF little
value, and the contents not worth much.
