in excellent fighting condition. Since 1878 also'
there has been considerable increase OF Northern
population in the State so that there is every Iea
son to suppose that, with fair vote ana a ialr
count this year, the Republicans may easily che 'se
not ONLY the Presidential electors but the Governor
and Legislature Occurring United States Senator
in the place of JOnes and at least one representa-
tive.
Ex-senator Osborn, who arrived lately in Wash
ington, has said to THE TRIBUNE correspondent
that he considers Florida as hopeful State for
the Republicans as several in the North that are
confidently counted upon, and morally safe II the
Democrats do not resort to great frauds in counting
"How do YOU hope to prevent such frauds any
way 7" Mr.. Osborn was asked. =,
I'm the first place, he said. "the Democracy ltscii
is much demOralized. Senators Jones ana Caii
do not work at all harmoniously together at nome'
and the frauds in Bsbeos district in the last election
have diseusted many Of the Democrats. They were
so patent and indisputable that many are ashamed
of them Still, if the candidate of the Republicans
for the Presidency is man who tho Democrats
think is going to be beaten, or, If elected VIII over
look their fraudulent performances there VIII DE no
hope of our having fair count. Under Quiet cli-
cumstances we may get II. 49, =, ,,.,.

General Grant, althOuglI our delegates may not
be instructed. But choice is OF very itte con-
sequence, anyway. Our Convention will lie ono OF

contest will be practically decided. Besides there
is no disposition the part of the Republicans OF
our State to press upon the party in the North cam
ddate which the majority Of its members 30 not
want We should not mourn if Mr. Blaine should
be the candidate, bnt our first choice is Grant.
Blaine and Grant are the only names one hears
mentioned among Republicans in Florida"
From other sources 1t is learned that there every
reason TO believe that the eec Oral vote of Florida
may be secured to the Republicans by proper. we'll

GOOD LUCK,
A COnnellsville Man Receives Round
100000.

Mr.. D. G. Iveson, of Connellsville, Pa,
has come into the possession of com
Portable fortune, through the death of
brother, near Dumfries, Scotland. Mr..
Iveson came to this country from Scot
land in 1888, and has lived in this vi
cinity the greater part of the time since
then. After the death of his brother,
which occurred about % years ago, Mr..
Iveson expected to receive the bulk of
the large fortune left by him, but the
administration of the estate fell into
dishonest hands, and has been in con-
slant litigation since that time, compell-
ing him to make several trips to Scot
land. When he last visited his native
country, he arrived just in time to hear
the administrator of the estate testify
that he had died in this place fifteen
years ago, and his timely appearance in
court had the effect of not only deciding
the matter in his favor, but the admins
traitor was sentenced to twelve years
Imprisonment for perjury. Through the
decision of this case Mr.. Iveson will re-
ceive, in trust, for his son, who is the
legal heir, about one hundred thousand
dollars, besides a sum exceeding five
hundred pounds year. due since his
brothers death from rents and interests
accumulated. Mr.. 1veSon is hale and
hearty old gentleman, having reached
the ripe age of eighty-fve years. He is
an old veteran, having fought in the
battle of Waterloo in 1915. and also four
years in the late rebellion. AT present
he draws pension for wounds received
The lucky winner of the handsome
little fortune above referred to, d. c.
Iveson, at the opening of the war, was a
resident of this place, residing in an old
building which stood on the Keller lot,ad-
joining Vests Drug Store, where he car
ried on the tailoring business on small
scale, and kept kind Of medicine shop
in which he kept some of his own pre-
parations. At the outbreak of the war
he enlisted in Capt. Charlesworth's
company of the 25th Ohio, and served
until he was injured in some way, when
he was discharged the service. After
the close of the war he married Miss
Melissa Billingsley, daughter of oul
townsman, James Billingsley, and short
ly afterward removed, we believe, to the
region of Cadiz, and thence to Pennsyl
vania, where he has since resided. A
! year ago last March, the brother, por
tion of whose estate he inherits, died
and dishonest steward attempted tc
swindle the old gentleman out of his
portion. Mr.. Iveson, being in somewhat
limited circumstances, was unable t.
prosecute his claim without aid, whe1
one of his relatives in this place ad
vanced the funds requisite TO push it tt

The Best Varieties of AnnIes.

Mr.. Slater Brown, Of Colerain town.
ship, who is very successful fruit
grower. has this to say about the best
varieties of apples for this latitude:
AS we received the first premium at
our county Fair, for the greatest variety
of apples, our opinion has been asked, as
to what are the best varieties of apples.
We have about fifty varieties in cultiva-
ton; if we were about to plant another
orchard of one hundred trees, we would
plant, forty of Smith cider, forty of Rome
beauty, ten of Grimes golden, five of
maidens blush, three rambo, and two
early harvest or summer queen. This
would be our selection for upland free
stone soil. Many varieties that have
been highly esteemed in,times past, must
be discarded. The Bentley sweet, was a
great favorite few years ago, but is
now a sad failure. The Baldwin, 2. Rus.
set, northern spy, king, and several
high praised varieties, are very un
profitable.

THE barn of Esquire John White, re-
siding in Warren township, near Bur
toms Station on the Central Ohio rail-
road, was destroyed by fire about seven
o'clock on Saturday morning. Seven
hundred dozen wheat, 500 of oats, and
ten tons of hay, were in the barn when
it burned. The fire originated in to-
bacco packing-house near the barn from
which it communicated to it. How the
tobacco house took fire is not known,
but it is srmised that tramps carelessly
set it on fire. The barn was one of the
finest and most commodious in the coun-
ty. Loss $4,000. Insured for $500 in

coming the occasion. A large crowd of
people was attracted to town by the
promised demonstration. No set pro-

saw proper Joined in tOrch-light pro-
cession which paraded the principal
streets and made the air glad with shouts
of joy over the victory won. Republi-
cans generally Illuminated their houses
and gave evidence in a hundred ways
that they were happy. The general
racket was added to by the boom of the
"Union Gun," which was kindly furnish
ed for the occasion by the patriotic
Capt. Mccoy, postmaster at Cadiz, which
has been used to celebrate Union victo-
ries for sixteen years. Fireworks, rock
cts and Roman candles in prOfusion, add

no speeches were made, the evening will
be long remembered as the occasion of
the celebration of a victory important in
our country'S history.

THE VICTIMS.
Frank Bedenbaugh, the murderer, is
about thirty years of age. Jasper Be
denbaugh, his father, is of German birth,
and has ten children. He is well-to-do
farmer, living about four miles south of
Calais, where he owns a far of some
four hundred acres. One son, John, is
a saloon keeper in Wheeling. The old
man purchased the farm where Frank
lives several years ago, and presented it
to him. Frank was a man of immense
physical strength, as were the whole
family. He was not man of bad dis
position, though the whole family had d
reputation as fighters. He was not a
hard drining man, though. like most
people in that neighborhoOd, he would
take drink. He was married only two
or three years ago, and was the father of
one child. He was also raising the
eldest child of Betsy Stephens. The
family relations of the Bedenbaughs were
pleasant, so far as known, and there
could have been no motive for the deed
Before his marriage Bedenbaugh worked
one year for Armstead Carter, near
Tempsranceville.
Elizabeth (or Betsy Stephens was a
somewhat noted character i'll that part
of the country. Her father is Wash.
who lives near Bailey's Mills,
about four miles west of GAINESVILLE
Betsy was about forty-five years of age,
and was very large. weighing over two
pounds. She was single, but
was the mother of eight or nine illegiti-
mate children, She was considered a
rather harmless old body, handy to have
around in case of sickness, and made her
living by going around and doing house
work. The child which Bedenbaugh
had taken to raise was about ten years
old, and had lived with him two or three
years. 1t was to visit this child that
Betsy and her youngest child went to
on Friday evening.
Mrs. Bedenbaugh was daughter of
John Jetfers, who lives near Temper
and niece of Plus Jeffers, of
GAINESVILLE. She was lady of excellent
family, and OF amia5le dispOsitian, and
her married life had been pleasant one
SO far as is known. Like her husband,
she was of Catholic family.
