WASHINGTON, August 2l.-The editor oil
the Valley Tirgiaian, published at staunton,
where Wade Hampton made now cele.
brsted speech, reiterates the correctness Of
the frst report Of that speech. He says:
"No one in this community ever ques-
toned the correctness OF the report. Dem:
ocrats as well as Republicans commented
particularly on the speakers declaration
that the principles involved in this Issue
we're the same for which Lee and Jackson
fought and to this day no denial has been
made by those who were present and
heard the sentences when they were ut
tered. General Hampton we believe TO
be a man OF truth, and We are confident
that be will not deny having uttered every

deny Il tell hiHl there are Democrats oi

upon the stand, will make affidavit to the
substantial correctness OF the Virgtnian's

the Executive Committee TO make an
effort TO get Col. Campbell, OF Cincinnati
to address the club on Saturday, Septem,
Der 4th, the meeting adjourned to meet
next Tuesday evening for the transaction
OF special business.
James Gardner, a farmer Of Washington
county, Pa, came to the city to-day and
stopped In the barber shop,of Campbell
Minton ON UpperMarket st. TO get his boots
blackened. On paying his bill he exhib.
tied a pocket book with some money In II,
and Immediately after leaving the shop he
missed the pocket.book and contents. He
went back to the shop, but the occupants
oi the same denied having seen 1t. The
police were informed and proceeded tothe
shop, but Minton was not TO be found.
Later he was arrested and q $50 bill was
found on him. The pocket-book con-
tanned a $50 bill, q s. bill, and a note for
5000. He will have his hearing tomorrow.
Another barber scrape is also reported
where q couple OF the craft got hold Of an
old man from the country, got Kim drunk,
took him of into very quiet part OF the
city, and went through him, getting about
$2S, and leaving the old man without o
nickel. As the case was not reported to
the police we cannot learn the names.
A man by the name Of Higgins, claim.
ing TO be brother OF DR.. Higgins, Of
Chicago, fell and had his leg broken, or a
bone fractured last night. He was very
much under the influence OF bad whiskey,
and didn't know whether he had fallen of
train Of cars or what, but it is almost
certain that he fell into q cellar on Water
street. His leg had been broken by an ex.
plosion some years ago, and 1t is the opin.
ion OF the doctors that this is simply a
fracture Of the old break. He was moved
from the lookup TO Green's boarding
house, on Sixth street.
The Democracy held It's meeting last
night, and was addressed by Henry Nc.
Fadden, Of the Gazette. his remarks were
very brilliant, as one might we'll suppose,
but the average attender Of the meetings
would rather be entertained with very
common brand OF rot gut than to hear
all the speeches possible to be turned out
by Democratic machines, aud the meeting
was thin, and adjourned at an early hour.

We have had quite heavy rains within
the past two days, that Of last (Friday)
evening being accompanied with great
deal of thunder aud lightning. A cloud
seemed to hang over the neighborhood
for about three hours, and most Of this
time the rain fell in torrents, flooding the
streets and filling up cellars. This heavy
rain fall seems to have extended
some distance from town as we
hear that fences, ETC., were wash
ed out in several localities. Many OF
the small streams were soon without
bounds. Mr.. Jeilreys, OF the Internal Rev.
enue Office, was returning to this place,
and when about four miles from town, in
attempting TO cross what Is known as Mill

barely escaped. One OF the horses was
'ound dead last night, but the other vas
doubtless carried into the river. The

stream.

near by; first 1t struck Governor Pier

chimney and throwing the stove down and
otherwise indicating It's presence. After.
ward three sheep were killed in one OF Mr..

hree trees were also struck, but we have
heard OF no other more serious damage.

A storm occurred here on the afternoon

was not much wind, or great fall OF rain,
but heavens artillery opened with terrific
flash and roar. Vivid, dazzling bolts Of
lightning followed each other in quick
succession. Sharp deaIening peals OF
thunder followed just as quickly. 1t was
not "The deep thunder peal on peal aiar,"
butthe binding fash and instant crash.
The air seemed alive with the dread ele-
ment. Tomany it was appalling. Happily
the duration Of the storm was short. But
short as It was the lightning struck four
times within the corporate limits OF the
town. Twice tho objects struck were
lightning rods, once tree and once a

asked whether she desires to be German,
French or autonomous. France and Ger
