DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.-The deaths
by lightning are unusually frequent for
so early in the summer. Last week at
Richmond, while there was no clouds
overhead and only small one on the hor-
izou. a colored man was struck dead by
lightning. At Henrietta, Texas, Thurs
day, Miss Lizzie Hutchinson and Mis- Cox
were instantly killed by lightning. The
two ladies were in carriage with Mr.. W..
B, Hutchinson, his wife and child, all OF
whom were shocked. 1t is believed that
Mrs. Hutchinson cannot recover. An
drew D. Robson, nephew of ex-Secretary
Robson, of New Jersey, was instantly
killed by lightning Friday afternoon, at
his farm, near Hunnewell, Kansas. He
was unsaddling his horse in the barn at
the time of the occurrence. His clothes
were literally torn from his body, his
watchchain melted and his face and body
much torn. His horse was also killed and
one end of the barn was torn out. He
leaves & young wife.
On Friday as Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ne
man were driving home near Des PLANES,
ILL.,. under the shelter Of an umbrella, in
a heavy thunder storm, they we've both
struck by lightning and killed. Their
horse was also killed. When found they
we're both seated upright in the buggy.
Mrs. Nleman's dress had taken fire and
burned nearly off. There were no marks
on their persons.

The Republican party which seems never
to need more exciting cause than inter
nal dissensions to fill the air with the
scent of corruption, now has this added to
its other troubles in New York. The
struggle for Senator in the New York leg
islature has brought this result. Mr..
Samuel H. Bradley, of Cattaraugus, mem
Der of the Assembly, has testified under
oath that Mr.. Loren B. Sessions of Chau-
tauqua, member of the Senate, paid him
two thousand dollars cash to vote for
Chauncey M. Depew, Of New York, to be
Senator of the United States. On his part
Mr.. Sessions has sworn that he never Of
fered to bride Mr.. Bradley to vote for
Depew, and never said anything to him
about money. One or the other of these
gentlemen is, Of course, fit subject
for the state prison, but the States Attor-
ney, who resides in Albany, has not yet
heard of it. Bradley is known as Fen
ton ssstriker" and Sessions is as noted as
lobbyist as he is as a senator. Perjury
seems to be looked upon among the New
York Republicans rather as a political
strategem than felony.

The Richmond ewing congratulates
its followers that president Garfield will
give the liberal keadjuster movement in
Virginia his favorable countenance and

it is just here the "Whig" makes fatal
mistake. The Democratic Readjusters of
Virginia are not seekers after Federal Of

Der as many offices in a preconcerted at
tempt to break up the Democratic party,
will have contrary effect on those voters
from what the "Whig" expects.
Senator Sherman in addressing the Ohio
Republican State Convention which nom

"We depend upon the active, earnest

ciples of public policy and have no room or
tolerance for a primate or a boss The
man who attempts it had better make his
will beforehand.

How Durango lColorado) Welcomed Its
First Baby.

Miss Una G. Pearson, infant daughter
of John and Ella Pearson, bears the hon.
ors gracefully of being the first child born
in Durango. The happy event occurred
on Monday, April 81, 1881. We have no.
ticed an unusual number of people going in
the direction of the young ladys domi-
cile for few days past-frontlersmen
who probably had not seen an infant for
twenty years; old miners who would part
with his last nugget for a glimpse of the
fragile bit of humanity; prominent bust
ness men, teamsters, doctors, lawyers and
women all wendell their way to see the
new arrival. One old miner from Silver
ton presented the little curiosity with a
bag of gold dust. McFadden q Son gave
h deed for a town lot on Second street;
Mr.. Muttrell followed suit with a corner
lot on the boulevard; Mr.. Creek sent over
four tons Of coal; Newman, Chestnut 4
Stevens made the little ones heart glad
with a dozen bottles of soothing syrup,
and John Taylor. Jr.. followed with a soft
air BRUSH while Griffin d Carpenter sent
n rubber ring and a box of safety pins.
Mr.. and Mrs. Diamond gave her their little
cross dog Prince to play with when she
gets old enough. Robertson Il ROwley, as
soon as they heard the news, went to work
making baby carriage. Ed. Schiller
wanted to give away his baby steam en-
gine, but it makes such racket that it
would keep the little one awake. so, in
stead, he presented a receipt for a post
cffice box. The Record" put her name
down for years subscription to the dali
w and weekly gratis. Finch. of the N ose
Paint thought his goods were too strong.
so he bought a powder box as his Offering,
for face paint. DR.. Cowen, of the Wind
sor, gave box of toothpicks. that's about
as much as bachelor knows about
babies. Baldwin, the shoemaker, tried to
take her measure for a pair of shoes, but
mis- lasts were all too small. Justice Fla
ger and Craig and Ex-J Justice De Mates,
of Leadville, made d call in body, and
took dispositions that she really was the
first born. Mr.. Eldridge, of Leadville,
presented quilt. Meyers, another old
bachelor, of Meyers q West, brought up a
pony with side-saddle for the young la
dy to take horseback ride. Other and
various things too numerous to mention
we're offered at the shrine of the first born,
take it allin all, no other baby ever re-
ceived such a rousing welcome as this one
in the glorious climate of Durango.-Du.

"A lady from Harrisburg who recently
attended wedding as bridesmaid in Fred
erick, Md, relates very amusing Incl
dent in connection with the ceremony
The bride had, as pet, little dog, ex-
ceedingly ugly, but very intelligent and
very much attached to his mistress. When
The wedding party went to the church the
dog was locked up securely, as was thought.
Alighting from the carriages the process
sion formed and marched up the main
aisle Of the church, which was crowded
with friends OF the contracting parties.
The bride wore a magnificent white bro
caded satin, and the trail spread out over
the Ioor as she took her place before the
alter with her prospective husband. Just
as the minister was about to begin the SER
vice a yelp was heard, and the little dog
came bounding up the aisle and running
to his mistress looked up to her as if to ask
the meaning of this. The dog then taking
in the solemnity of the occasion, stretched
himself out on the trail of the brides satin
dress, and remained there until the mar
Rage service was concluded. When the
parties left the church he lay down on the
bridemaid's dress and got a free ride down
the aisle to the church door. The little
incident created the greatest amusement.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1881

When we recollect with what bitter in
dignation the Democrats of Virginia
viewed for six years the course Of John F.
Lewis after he defined his political affilia-
lions in the Senate to which they had cleo
ted him, the question asked by Mahone's
followers, didn't you vote for him in
1892 would seem intended to arouse that
Indignation afresh rather than get Demo-
cratic votes for him. Men who from 1869
up to 1876 were loudest in denouncing the
"treachery'' of Senator Lewis as they
called it then are now assuring others that
he was Republican when he was elected
and remained consistent one. The
amount of humble pie the Democratic Re-
adiusters, if there are any, who support ex
Senator Lewis, must eat, requires strong
stomach. 1t is stomach that can swal-
low Bourbon Republican but can't stand
Democrat. A stomach on which Gen.
Malone has patent.

the above specifications, but merely pledge
himself ''to do his utmost in the name of
the Lord Jesus. both by example and pre-
cept, to promote the objects of the socie-

pledge himself TO abstain from all drink

any OF the foregoing he may pledge him
self to ''neither treat nor. be treated,
whether in public or in private. and never
