is the substance of a notice given by
the county executive committee. The
offices to be filled by election are
sheriff, county trustee, and criminal
and chancery judges. Judge Nc
DOwell, the present chancellor, has no
opposition is acceptable to all class
es, regardless of party, and will doubt
less receive the full vote Of the county.
The people begin to see that a Judge
should not be the creature of a
political party, toward whose
members he might be suspected of
partiality after the election. There
should be chosen to wear the ermine
on account of their ability, fair mind
cdness and knowledge Of law. They
Is strong feeling in the community
in favor Of retainingJ udgeHorrigan on
the bench. A good judge is not picked
up every day, and we have not found
many Horrigans yet. He has con-
sented to serve if elected
and as no other democrat has been
put forward, he will probably be nom
mated by the county convention,
which ensures his election. For the
oftice of county trustee, Mr.. j. j..
Duffy and Mr.. James Riley are both
named favorably. Mr.. Duffy, we be-
lieve, is candidate for the nomina-
ton. For the Office of sheriff
there is not likely to be any con-
test, from present appearances.
The most prominent candidates,
Sheriff McGowan and Captain P. R.
Athy, rather than have a scramble in
the convention, agreed that one or the
other should withdraw. The propo-
sition, we have been informed, came
from Captain Athy's friends. Each
one appointed seven gentlemen to
consider the case, and decide between
them. The result was that Captain
Athy was withdrawn, and Sheriff
McGowan left on the track.
This was a matter between
two gentlemen, and the mode chosen
Of arbitrating their claims is as fair
practically and theoretically as the or
dinary conventions. Asa matter of
honor it is binding upon Athy and
McGowan, and goes no further than
this. If they chose not to have a con-
test In convention, and to settle it
privately which one should decline to
be candidate, no one has any right
to complain. 1t would be something
unusual to say that man
has no right to consult his
friends privately and to decline to
run. That is all there is in that.
Those who object loudest to this ar
rangement are the very men who have
been secretly or openly fighting con
ventions-that is democratic conven-
tions only,-and opposing democratic
nominees for the last ten years. Sheriff
McGOwan's candidacy before the con.
vention does not interfere with any
other democrat running for the
nominal ion, except Captain Athy,
who has agreed to abide by a decis-
ion that will keep him out. The
many friends of Captain Athy are, of
course, disappointed; and if the de.
cision had been the other way, the
many friends of Sheriff McGowan
would have been equally disappoint.

BY CABLE.

PARIS, June 2S.-Members of the
bar of Lyons, BezArs, Tournon,
Rennes, Lemans and other towns
have pronounced against the religious
DEGREES.
BERLIN, June 2S.-Negotiations for
compromise between the various
factions have progressed so far as
almost to insure the bare passing of
the church bill in a very modified
form.
CABUL, June 2S.-An answer to
the British ultimatum has been re-
ceiyed from Abdurrahman Khan. It's
tenor is said to raise doubts as to
Khans sincerity. He seems to ig-
more the fact that the British have
informed him that Candahar has been
forming as a separate province. He
states in his letter that he is to rule
over exactly the same territory as his
grandfather, Dost Mahomed. In other
respects the letter is satisfactory. He
proposes to advance to Sarivon, north
ern Kahistan, and there conclude
final arrangements.
VIENNA, June 2S.-The powers
have consigned to the establishment
of religious freedom in Morocco.
Warlike preparations are proceed
ing here. There is much activity at
the arsenal. The porte has tele-
graphed to the authorities on the
Greek frontier provinces for exact re-
ports Of the number of Albanians
under arms, the condition of the
country, and its resources.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 2S.-The
gravest apprehensions are said to be
entertained at the British embassy
in regard to the turn of affairs in AL
bania. The Albanian commissioner
has dispatched 1900 men to Daligcio.
LONDON June 28.-The master of
the cotton spinners of Mossley re.
fused the advance of five per cent. on
the wages, and spinners and winders
struck. Eight thousand persons are
out of employment.
BERLIN, June 2S.-Much notice
has been taken Of an article in the
Paris Temps affecting to discard all
responsibility on the part of France
in the event of Turkeys refusal to
obey the voice Of Europe. 1t points to
England as the ultimate executor of
the will Of the powers as having ex-
cited them to express it in the con-
ference.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 28.-The
Gazette announces that the visit of
the Chinese ambassador to France is
again postponed. Itis believed nego
tiations are thus postponed by China
to gain time for war preparations.
LONDON, June %. = Ielegraphic
communication with Buenos Ayres is
entirely cut off.
SYDNEY, N. s., June 28.-Kelly
one of the gang of bushrangers, has
been captured. Four persons we're
shot in an encounter with the officers.
The gang is notorious for bank rob
berries.
BERLIN, June 28.-Lotters from
Corfu state that ten English officers
engaged interpreters and proceeded to
main land, ostensibly to inquire into
the feelings of the inhabitants of Ja-
nina and that district, relative to an
nexation to Greece, but it is thought
really to make strategical surveys.

Pittsburgh Post: Smiler Colfax is
out in a long letter to the public on
the credit mobilier scandal affecting
him, revived by the charges against
General Garfield, in which be calls on
heaven and all the angels to witness
that he tells the truth when he de.
clares that he never owned dollar of
the stock; that he never saw the "pay-
s.-c.-or bearer" check until years after
it was drawn, and that all the world
will be convinced of this at the last
great day. Schuyler don't say any
thing about being in the pay of a
government contractor, which caused
an Allegheny county congressman to
cut his acquaintance from that day
to this.

Royal BetrothaI.

Prince William, eldest son of the
Prussian crown prince, has just been

Augusta Victoria. The aged emperor
brought in the bride, and beamed
with qualification as he presented
Bismarck and other guests to her.
She has great personal attractions, and
is Ia her twenty-second year, nearly
the same age as Prince William. She

Too many of the orators at Cincin-

But as there are two prominent dem

they agreed between themselves that
one or the other would get off the

Sheriff McGowan. If there are other

IXSANELY JEALOUS.
A Lover Who Shot His Sweet
Heart and then Himself

CINCINNATI, June 28.-Yesterday
afternoon, at Elkhard, Indiana, Geo.
Elliott, young man, borrowed pis
tol from a friend on the street and
went back into his mothers house and
called Miss Mamie Darcy, his afi-
anced, into az bedroom saying
he had something to tell her, locked
the door and began firing at her.
She fell after the second shot, and he
then placed the revolver to his head
and shot himself dead. Miss Darcy
recovered consciousness, but the ply
sicians pronounce her case hopeless.
She was native of Dunkirk, N. Y.
where her parents now live. Elliott
was insanely jealous, and was also
given to drink. He has seen another
young man walking with Miss Darcy
in the afternoon, and this was the
immediate cause of his action.

The Latest Trimming for Rom
nets.

London Figaro.l
A leader of fashion having appeared
on the racecourse at Longchamps
with bundle of radishes in her bon
net, the matter has, of course, caused
considerable agitation in fair circles
and there is much discussion as to
whether vegetable trimmings are to
become the mode. Now, as we have
already seen birds'-nes and birds
fruit and flowers of all sorts. grasses
oats, beetles, and butterflies in our
ladies' hats and bonnets, we really
sec no reason why vegetables should
not have their turn. A fair ones
bonnet may then be trimmed at an
unusually cheap rate, and the radishes.
watercress, asparagus, or what not,
used for the mornings trimming, may
become part of the evening meal.
What pretty effect, too, might be
produced by actually having bonnet
with mustard and cress growing lux
uriantly all over 1t, on the same prin-
eiple as it sprouts on the flannel Gov
cred bottle A pretty trimming too,
might be made Of green peapods grace
fully hanging around, while the
peculiarly feathery appearance of
asparagus and fennel when run to
seed will surely recommend themselves
to the milliner In short we, think
paterfamilias may await with compos
ure, if, indeed, net delight the proba-
bic introduction of vegetable trim
mings. There is one thing against
them though, and that Is they are so
suggestive Of leg Of mutton.
