Saved his Child.


~ N. Eutaw ST., Baltimore, Md.
Feb. -, 1880.
Gents Upon the recommends
ton Of a friend | tried BRowS's
1RoH BITTBRs as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
l was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, I was 10th TO
believe that anything could arrest
the progress Of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle Of Browns
Iron BIrrERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored 10 former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs OF Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
quired :" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRoH BITIRRs, responded that Is
a good tonic, take It,"

number of pawn tickets were found in
her possession representing various ar

APPLY MATED.
Some two years ago she was mar.
ried to a burglar named Clarke, who
served a term of three years IN the
state prison, and by him che was
doubtless induced to commit the rob-
berieL 1t wss the knowledge of this
circumstance by the detectives that
led TO her arrest. a few months ago
Clarke was sent to the Presbyterian
hospital TO receive treatment for an
injury he met with, and when he was
discharged recently they watched him
until they discovered that the prison
err was concealed az No. % East 122d
street. When taken into custody she
admitted having lived in some of the
places named, bat on being asked if
he had stolen the property referie ed
to she told The detectives it was their
business to find chat out. In reply to
Justice Blxby she stated that abe was
born in New Jersey, was % years old
aud did not work for a living.
In answer to the question, "What is
your business or profession?" she
answered, "Nothing," and also stated
that she vas not guilty.
1t is rather q coincidence that n
of the aliases she used when seeking
employment, Jennie Rigney, should
be the name of a notorious young wo-
man who created q Sensation some
years ago by making an infamous
charge against an eminent dentist of
this city, and who attempted to boil
ster it up by falsely charging another
reputable professional man with an
equally grave offense. Both gentle
men we're acquitted on trial, and
their perjured sccnser was sentenced
to five years In the state prison.
William Clarke, the husband of tn .
prisoner. appeared in court, there be-
ing no charge against him since he
returned from Sing Sing. Mrs.
Clarke wes committed without bail.
The police will produce additional evil
dence against her ON the trial.

BRUTAL ATTACK.
A Sick Printer Cut and Beaten
Horribly by a NGgrO,
He Lies at st. Joseph's Hos
pital Ia a Critical
Condition

One Of the most brutal assaults aver
perpetrated in tho city was that Of
which James Olcott was the victim,
on Sunday evening.
Olcott Is a man about 80 years OF
age, who has been all crippled up with
rheumatism and become practically
helpless, being cared for largely
at the expense Of the Typo
graphical Union. On Sunday even.
ing about z o'clock he was on his way
home to his room, corner Dodge and
Tenth streets, when he was met at the
gate by a colored nan who in
qulred of him where come party
lived in that neighborhood. Olcott
replied that he did not know, and
without any further warning the col
ored man struck at him either with a
knife or a razor, the latter, it ia sup.
posed. He struck MIN across the
bridge of the nose with q downward
HlOtlOH, anu httidl,f bhoNeo hib nOso
off, for it hung only by d ANAL piece
of skin at one side. The assault must
have been continued with some heavy
instrument, or with a stout fist, for
when discovered the poor printer he'd
his Jaw broken and oil HE front teeth
knocked out, while through the nos
trils one could look right down in his
throat.
DIR. Hyde was summoned as
quickly as possible and rem.
dered every means OF relief
possible, sewing the severed organ
back in its place and setting the
broken bone, yesterday Olcott was
removed to st. Joseph's hospital,
where he will receive the best of care
and attention.
The very nature of the assault,
being without pr~ovocation, as well as
the helplessness and inoffensive char
acter of the wounded man, makes the
attack the more brutal, and it is an
outrage deserving the severest punish
ment. II Is reported that Olcott is in
o very critical condition. The officers
are after the darkey, but had not

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If diseas, has entered the system
the oRly sure and quick wayto drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts arc well
known, and the highes' medical
authorities agree th.t nofhiHg but
iron will restore the blood to IFS
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor

THE DEmoCRATIC EARTHQUAKE .
stand From Under!

Especial to OuAcHrrA TELEaRArH.l
All the Democratic candidates for
Congress in Louisiana are elected, with
the exception of Acklen in the 3rd dis
trict. Hunt in the 1st has 1000 major
ity Ellis 5000 plurality; Blanchard
no opposition King over 5000 MAORI
ty (; Heron, in 9th district, 1900. In
third district Kellogg's majority is
about 4, 500; very few Democratic votes
were cast.
Democratic gains are general
throughout the country, and their
majority in the next House will be
between 20 and so. Probably 200
Democratic Congressman are elected.
Three or four districts are still doubt
full which makes exact figures impossi-
BILE.
AT present Cieavland's majority in
New York may reach 100000; it is
now estimated at 100, 900.
Pattison in Pennsylvania has 81, 600
plurality.
Virginia is still in doubt: all later
returns are in favor of the Democrats,
and Massey may pull through for
Congressman at large.
The news from North Carolina arc
not as favorable as represented in first
reports; but that the Democrats have
the popular majority, and large
minority in the legislature on joint
ballot.
There is probability that the Dem
ocrats will have majority on Joint
ballot in Colorado and Illinois. and
that the Democrats and Antf-Monop-
olists Will control the legislature of
Nebraska. If later returns confirm
these Indications, the next U. s. Sem
ate will be Democratic. In no event
will the Republicans have clear ma
jority. They will have to rely upon
Malone and Riddleberger for enough
votes to control that body, even if they
carry the doubtful legislatures.

There are few who visited Shrove-
port during the war, rs the present
writer did, who will not read the
following from tie Shreveport Times
with realistic sense of tho over revolt
wing turns of tho wheel Of fortune:
We were in error in stating that
Mrs. M. ID. G. Cane had made applica-
ton to the police jury for means of
subsistence. 1t was suggested by
several citizens to the police jury that
Mrs. Cane had been deprived by legal
process of tho last of her large estate
and was now in INDECENT circum-
stances, and as she had donated to the
parish the square at present occupied
by tho courthouse and ten acres to the
city for the purpose Of a cemetery, now
utilized as such, that in view of these
facts the parish should sec that in her
old age she should not want. The
police jury took action upon the sug-
gestion and granted Il donation of SO
per month for the maintenance. If
any injustice has been done any one
in the statement of yesterday il was
altogether unintentional, most parti-
cularly so towards Mrs. Cane.

The election in New Orleans did not
develop any great amount of excite
ment. The patriots were hand in hand
with the hoodlums, and thus, accord
ing to the Picayunc, the day passed
off:
The political contest in this city
yesterday was one of the most quiet
ever witnessed. There was not only
no excitement, but there was a great
deal OF indifference, and the vote was
not heavy one.
The regular Democratic ticket has
carried the city by Il very good MAORI
~. There may have been a Council
man here and there, an exception to
the rule, but the main body of the
ticket is elected without an exception.
There has never been Il freer and
iairer election in the metropolis, and
not single act, that we know of, has
. been committed, calculated to inter.
iere with free expression of opinion
by all parties.
Our two Congressmen, Ellis aud
hiunt, go out of the city with maiori.
ties that insure their election The
vote for both of them. while not nc
large rs 1t ought 10 have been. We,
bears such proportion to tho general
ballot that it shows the high esten,,,
In which they are held.

Mr.. ParamOre promises to send 4
corps of engineers from Pine Bluff to
Monroe rs soon as his main line from
Cairo to TeXarkana is completed,
which will be in the course of 4 month
or two. Rev. Mr.. FaWcett OF our town,
had Il conversation with him when in
st. Louis; and from all we can gather
there seems to be no doubt of his pur-
pose to carefully inspect this line at
least. We arc confident that he will
look upon it favorabIy. There are
many good reasons why this road
should be built.
Later information comes from Pine
Bluff in dispatch to the Times Demo-
crat under date of the 18th
johnson and Morris, contractors on
the Texas and st. Louis Railway, pass
ed through here to-day with &c teams
and n large force of mon bound for the
work on White river. Tho grading on
this road to TeNarkana is completed,
leaving but II miles yet to clear in
Arkansas.
Trains arc running daily between
Pine Bluff and Camden, and the trains
will DO running, within ten days, from
Camden west as far as Magnolia juno
ton, where Il branch is building to
Magnolia by the citizens of that enter
prising little town, to be completed by
the LIST of January.

THE TEXAS AND ST. LOUIS NARROW
GUAGE.

We nave in previous issues directed
attention to the Paramore road Of Ark
ansas and Texas, and to the rapid pro-
gross made in its construction, with
the probability that at an early day a
branch road would be constructed from
Pine Bluff to Monroe. This contin-
gency considered, whatever relates to
the early completion of the road has n
direct interest for q great many of our
readers, especially since President
Paramorc has promised to give atten-
ton to the proposed branch road upon
the completion of the trunk line.
In the ST. Louis Republican of the
Ist we find the following:
One hundred and twenty-five miles
of the Texas and ST. Louis Narrow
Gauge railway are now in operation in
the State of Arkansas: and under the
traffic contract with the Cairo Short
Line, which connects at Cairo, or
rather Birds Point opposite, freight is
being received from this city. The
shipments of general merchandise from
st. Louis to points along the narrow
gauge average from three to four car
loads per day; and already the receipts
of cotton from along the line of the
road aggregate one thousand bales, and
this accomplished within ten days. 1t
is learned that a great deal of cotton is
being piled up at tho stations ready for
shipment. The line passes through a
section that heretofore had poor facili-
ties of transportation. The planters
have had to depend on the White,
Ouachita, Arkansas and Red Rivers,
and even then they have had to haul
the staple in wagons all the way from
| fifteen to sixty miles in order to reach
stations on the rivers named or else to
| the Mississippi. The new road passes
between the Mississippi river and the
Iron Mountain road, and has opened
up IL section of country that is consider
ed as rich if not richer than any portion
Of the progressive and promising State
Of Arkansas. At present a large force
of men is at work in Cairo making the
railway yards, where the transfer of
the boxes Of the cars from the trucks
of the two roads is to be done. In a
very short time this work will be COM
pleted, and then the facilities for hand
ling freight will be great, and ship
ments can be made with dispatch.
The cotton that is to come via the Mar
row Gauge and the Cairo Short Line
will be brought to st. Louis for storage,
and will there be compressed. The
new compress across the river is now
under roof, and will steam up next
week. The building is 100 feet square
and is q solid, substantial one. 1t is
claimed that all the cotton along the
Narrow Gauge will certainly come to
this market.
