THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Notwithstanding the shortness of
crops, the result of the drouth, every
thing points to brisk and prosper
GUS fall and winter trade throughout
the country. The beginning of Oc-
tober finds business in a most en-
couraging state in all sections of the
country, and the outlook is that
lively times will continue up to and
into the winter months. The whole
sale houses in all the business CEN
tres are overrun with orders, and
the manufacturing interests every
where are in healthy and flourish
ing condition. 1t is conceded that
the boom is legitimate, and not spec
ulatiYe, and is, therefore, likely to
be permanent, unless there should
occur disastrous break in the pres
ent advanced prices of grain, which
is not anticipated.

Abducted on His Wedding.
Day,

AN ENGLISH RECTOR CARRIED OFF
IN A CLOSE CARRIAGE-HIS RE-
LEASE.
Rev. Robert Bruce Kennard, rect
or of Marnhall, Dorsetshire, Eng.
land, has recently been subjected to
gross insult. He visited London
for the purpose of being married to
young lady on the 18th of Septem-
Der, but failed to keep his appoint
ment at the parish church, and the
bride and her friends had to return.
On inquiry at the Castle Hotel, it
was aScertained that he had been
taken away the previous evening by
three gentlemen in a close carriage,
he believing that he was going to
the residence of his intended bride.
Twenty four hours later he made
his appearance and the postponed
wedding then took place. He says
that he was induced to enter the car
riage by pretended message from a
Mr.. Frasher, relative, but immedi-
ately suspected four play when he
found three men in the carriage.
He was treated with violence when
ever he attempted to call for aid and
was finally confined in a small room
in house in Hunter street. He
was told that he was detained for
lunatic and would be taken to an asy-
lum as soon as the doctors provided
a certificate of his lunacy. His
keeper added that, if the doctors did
not appear by noon, he would be set
at liberty. A bride of a G5 note,
obtained his release before noon but
it was too late to keep his appoint
ment at the church. Mr.. Kennard
is about Ga years old and his bride is
38. The house to which he was TAX
en- was clearinghouse, in which
apartments had been taken by a
stranger who paid weeks rent in
advance. The bride and bridegroom
are absent on their wedding tour,
and, no regular complaint bening
filled, the police cannot take any &C
tive steps to arrest the perpetrator of
the outrage or ascertain the motive
guiding him. 1t is suspected that it
was planned by the relatives of the
reverend gentleman to break off the
intended marriage.

OHIO.

The election for Governor and
members of the legislature will come
off in Ohio on Tuesday. Ohio is not
a safe State to bet on in off years.
When the vote is out, it is pretty
safely Republican, but the indica-
tions point to a comparatively small
vote on Tuesday, and this will be
decidedly adverse to the Republican
ticket. With a large deficit in the
aggregate vote, and 10000 to $4,000
cast for the temperance ticket, Gov
ernor Foster will be beaten. In any
event, he will have no big majority.
The same causes may not effect the
result on the legislature, as the tenn
perance party are not running legis-
lative tickets in but few of the coun
ties. On the whole, it looks as if the
result would be close, and yet it may
be that the returns will furnish one
of those surprises so peculiar to cleo.
tions in Ohio.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS.

There is a good deal Of speculation
just now as to how Senator David
Davis will vote on the organization
of the Senate which meets next
Tuesday. The Senator maintains a
sphynx-like reticence in regard to
the matter, and the only data for
conjecture is his speech in the SEN
ate last March, explaining his pollti-
cal position at that time. The cir
cumstances now are very much the
same, but the Senator may have
''aopped" since then. In that speech
he said:
81 have never acted distinctively
with the Democratic party, and un-
less its methods are changed and its
wisdom is broadened, there is little
prospect of my reversing opinions
calmly formed. The country would
be materially benefited by the recon
struction of both parties, especially
since the errors Of one seem to per-
petuate the power of the other. /
have voted on all public measures
according to my;convictions of right,
and propose to continue that course.
An honorable recognition Of the
trust generously confded to my
keeping by the Democratic voters in
1877 requires me to sustain the ex-
listing organization Of the Senate,
for which / disclaim all responsible
ity. Parts of it are neither agree
able to my taste nor to my judg-
ment. In giving this vote it is
proper for me to say, whatever may
be the result, that / can accept no
honor at the hands of either side.
The country needs rest from Sec
tional strife. The voice Of patriot
ism demands peace and fraternal
fellowship North, South, East and
West. Every good citizen should
desire the success of the administra-
ton, for we all ought to have a COM
mon interest in the greatness of the
Republic. Measures intended to ad-
vance either shall have my cordial
support. The President and his cab.
inent are entitled to a fair hearing
and to be judged impartially by their
acts. If they fail to justify public
confidence it will be misfortune
which has overtaken other admins
trations having equally good inten-
lions and prospects. l shall vote
for the appointment of all these COM
mittees except the judiciary COM
mittee. | wish to retain my old
place in the judiciary committee,
and although l am thankful to my
friends | must decline the position

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

Considerable interest has been
manifested in the struggle in New
York between the Conkling and
ti-Conkling Republicans in the
election of delegates to the State
Convention. 1t was supposed that
Mr.. Conkling would control the
Convention, or in the event of fail
ure to do so, would seek to split the
party. The Convention assembled
on Wednesday, and contrary to ex-
pectations was a reasonably harmo-
NOUS body. The authorizing ele-
ment was largely in the majority,
and while they had complete control
of the convention seemed not dis
posed to act arbitrarily with the mi
nority, and this course acted as oil

NOTES AND COMMENT.

All indications point to re-organ-
ization of the Cabinet.
The Ohio election will take place
on Tuesday.
When the Senate meets on Tues
day, will Malone be in a "devil of a
fix" again ?v
General Hancock Is friends are paw
ing the way for his denomination
in 1884.
President Garrett, of the B. & o.,
rather got the best of his great rival,
President Vanderbilt, in their re-
cent controversy.
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden is neither
asleep or inactive nor has he di-
verted his eyes or his ambition from
the White House. He is taking a
quiet hand in passing political
events.
President Garfield was the first
Knights Templar who filled the office
of chief magistrate of the United
States. Some Of the other presi-
dents were Masons, but none ha /
advanced to the dignity of Templar.
L. Ferry Young, a son of Brig
ham Young, died on board the
steamer Knickerbocker, which ar
rived at New York, Saturday from
Mexican ports. He was i'll when he
went on board.
The Bear swamp, about three
miles from Trenton, N. j., On the
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
has been on fire for week, and un-
less rain soon falls, it is feared con-
siderable damage may result. The
peat has been penetrated to the ex-
tent OF five feet, and the continuous
woodlands are in eminent danger.
Bill Ryan, one of the James Boys
gang, who has been sentenced to
twenty-five years in the Missouri
penitentiary for the great Glendale
train-robbery, was convicted on the
testimony Of a confederate. The
witness was Tucker Basha m, who
was pardoned by the Governor 50
that he might testify in the case.
He had plead guilty for the part he
took in the robbery. Basham's life
is threatened by the gang, and while

Apples as Food.

A raw, mellow apple IL digested
in an hour and a-haif, while boil
ed cabbage requires five hours.
The most healthy dessert that
can be placed on he table is a
baked apple. If eaten frequently
at breakfa last with coarse bread and
butter, without meat or flesh of
any kind, it has an admirable eff
feet upon the general system, often
removing constipation, correcting
acidities, and cooling off febrile
conditions more effectually than
the most approved medicines. If
families could be induced to sub.
stitute them for pies, cakes ar
sweatmeats. with which their
children IRE frequently stufft !,
there would he a dimunition in
the total SUM Of doctors bills in a
single year sufficient to lay in a
stock of this delicious fruit for the
whole seasons use.

The irresponsible editor of the
Statesman has filed a half column
with an attempt, as usual. to fling
at me all the froth and scum of his
heated imagination.
/ pass over in scorn and contempt
the puerile twaddle which occupies
the greater part of his production.
Two charges, however, deserve some
attention. He says / did not write
the four line communication in the
office of the Statesman. / did write
it in the printing Office of that paper,
and brand him with publishing a de-
liberate falsehood until he proves
that | did not. | have from very
respectable young man in his Office
that Il. s. Eichelberger did not re-
ceive my letter but read 1t in the
State snadn on the day before it was
published. Was my letter not open
ed before it was published, and was
it not printed before the Junior ed
itor had seen ii? What is intercept
ed ? 1t is Latin derivative which
means to stop and seize on the way.
When sealed private letter is TAX
en- from the Post-office and instead
of sending it to the person address
ed is opened by another party and
used for base purpose, would any
man in his senses say it was
not intercepted ? What does
Smith Eichelberger, Esq, mean ?
Has he had fit of his incurable all
ment.
If | were as bad as Smith Eichel-
berger would have me to be, | could
not possibly get five cents credit in
any store in Martinsburg. On the
contrary, have been assured since
his vile diatribe appeared that the
Statesman has already spent itself,
and paradoXical as it may seem more
than one gentleman in this town and
county has courted its abuse and
profted thereby.
Some months ago there were two
candidates for the Martinsburg
Post-office. The appointment hung
in the balance till the columns of
the Statesman with its lovely enco-
NUNS were exhibited. The APP
pointment was at once made.
These facts can be proved by sever
al respectable witnesses. Smith
Eichelberger accuses me of not using
in his presence "a single charitable
or christian word" of my neighe
borS. He knows this is false, aud
that have frequently spoken in the
highest terms of them. OF all men
in creation Smith Eichelberger Esq,
ought to be silent on religious ten
ets'' for he can treat the most sac
red doctrines of the Bible with as
much profanity as Hobbies or Tom
Payne. A common expression is,
Don't mind Smith Eichelberger he
can't hurt you"

upon the troubled waters. The con
vention nominated the present in
cumbent for Secretary Of State, and
adopted platform that seemed to
suit both factions. In short, instead
of row, as was expected, there was
a clasping of hands across the chasm,
and regular love-feast, in which
Conkling and anti-Conkling men
participated alike. And thus an
other example has been furnished Of
the fact that ''you can t most always
tell" just how bitter party faction
fights are from surface indications.

MULTUM IN PARVO.

DR.. Agnew, in his inaugural ad-
dress at the opening of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, on Monday,
gave expression to the following
golden truth:
president Garfield was a canal
boy whose poverty did not prevent
him from rising to the first place in
the nations gift, and to the fore
most place in the nations heart.
Ancestral blood, divorce l from all
else, constitutes a valueless posses
sion, and some of the greatest fail
ures in history have been those
whom the world recognized as men
of genius, or, as Carlyle would term
them, men with prodigious capac-
ity of carrying troubles"

sharp edge Of the Ratchet struck the

The appalling spectacle was witness
