a. "A. STEPHEN SWEEPS rnr STATE,


Elected Governor of Georgia by Fifty
thousand Msjority-Ben Hlli's Sue
cessor.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 4.-The State cleo
ton passed off quietly. The vote is about the
average. The negroes did not vote solidIy
for General Lucius j. Gartrell, Independent
Democratic candidate, who was indorsed
for Governor by two Republican conventions
during the past two weeks. Alexander H
stephens made several speeches, and the
State was thoroughly canvassed by number
of popular speakers. Gartrell ran as an
Independent Democrat and had little
help from prominent men In this county.
Nearly 00,00O votes were polled and
Stephens has 800 majority. Ferguson, indie
pendent, defeats IIoyt, the Democratic
nominee, In the State Senatorial dist rict.
The counties polling the heaviest negro vote
are not yet heard from, but the returns re-
ceived up to midnight show Stephens has
swept the State by from 10000 to 81, 900.
The Legislature is entirely Democratic, with
the exception df about 20 Independents and
three or four negroes.
1t is conceded that Governor Colquitt will
be elected to the Senate as the successor to
Ben Hill, HIS chief opponent Is Chief JUS
lice jackson, but enough il known of the
complexion OF the Legislature TO assure
Cplqueits majority IN both branches
Stephens will be inaugurated in, November.

Democratic Victories All Along
The Line.

A political cyclone swept over Ohio
on Monday, which struck the party OF
"great moral ideas" making a coD-
plete wreck of it. From every quarter
come the joyful shouts of glorious vic
tories won. Cincinnati. Dayton, Co
lumbus, Cleveland, Toledo, have gone
Democratic by most decided majorities
and in All the cities, towns and villages
throughout the State the Democracy
have been completely victorious or
made decided gains, while the Repub-
lican hopes for making up for their
losses by gains in the rural districts
have not been realized. They are woe
fully detected over their overwhelm-
ing defeat, and attempt to account for
it by declaring that it was brought
about by the whisky interest" II
that be the true cause, then their own
victories for these many years past
have been won by their catering to
that interest, and now that they have
thrown off the mask their hopes oi
success in the future are utterly blasted

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.
WhatIt Requires.

The so called Pond Liquor Law
which passed the House on Thursday
last, and had previously passed the
Senate, provides substantially as fol-
lows:
Every person engaged in the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, distilled, ferment-
ed or malt, in the State of Ohio, shall
pay an annual tax for the privilege.
This tax in cities of the first class
shall be $500 for each dealer; cities OF
the second class, $3.50; cities and viii
lagos having population of from two
to ten thousand, 5000; villages less
than two thousand Inhabitants, $3.50
in districts outside of either towns OF
villages, 800. This tax goes into the
county treasury. The provisions OF
the law extend to take in the territory
adjoining any city, town or village
within two miles of the limits thereof
For Instance, every person keeping q
saloon or selling liquor in Ravenna OF
within one mile from the city limits
will hereafter have TO pay 5000 per year
for the privilege of so doing, and this
applies TO all dealers, wholesale and
retail
The remainder of the law is regula-
tive and penal. First, every dealer
must give bond to comply with the
law, and he cannot sell or open up a
saloon until he has given the required
bond. The bona shall be for 81 900,
and shall be filed in the Probate Court
with two freehOlders for securities.
Engaging in the business without
having filed this bond shall throw the
offender liable To Il fine of from $500 10
81 900 and Imprisonment from thirty
days to u year, or both. If any dealer
sells TO any other dealer without giving
the required bond, he shall forfeit the
amount of the sale be fined from $2tN
to $1,000, and suffer imprisonment
Any person buying liquors from par
ties outside the State shall be subject
to the same penalties as though buying
in the State. In prosecutions under
the law no Indictment by the Grand
Jury il necessary, but shall proceed
upon Information filed in Court by the
Prosecuting Attorney, who will re-
ceive ten per cent. of all fines collected
as fees.
The funds collected under the law
shall lie divided between the corpora
ton and the county, the latter getting
one-third.
Saloons shall be listed by Assessor.
and record kept by the County Audit
or.
The only exception is in the case o
druggists, who may sell upon the pre-
scription of physician for medica
purposes, or physician may sell him
self for the same purpose without pay
ing tax or giving bond.
All laws heretofore in force regula
ting or restraining the traffic remain
in force end are unimpaired by any
thing in the new law.
The law goes into effect on the frs
Monday of next Nav.

This is the way in which our neigh
Dor of the Rep. Dem. expresses his
views of great leading measure be-
fore the "reform" Legislature of Ohio:
" Smith, of the Ohio Legislature,
proposed an amendment to the Stubbs
law, so called, (" prnhihit the sale of
beverages on sunday. Last week the
Smith family held ii convention at Co.
lumbus, and Resolved that the bill
ought to pass the SeIlate, as it had al
ready passed the House. Hon. Dick
Smith presided, and Mr.. Smith of the
Legislature made speech. The beau-
ty of all this is, that all the cities and
incOf porated towns have now Sunday
ordinances, and there is no moral sen-
timent to see that they re enforced.
So the Legislature is asked to make
itself ridiculous by passing the Smith
bill, merely to have more stuff on the
statute book, that nobody will enforce.
The outlook is. that the Senate won't
pass the Smith bili-that is to say,
there is a shade more of practical sense
in tue Senate than in the House.
When will the Professors of Reform
begin to, know enough to know that
a great shout made at Columbus never
has and never will be the token OF ac-
complishment However it is to be
hoped the Smith family are happy.
So mote it be.

Fatal Accident.

Between eleven and twelve o'clock
last Thursday forenoon, Mr.. Truman
Durham, one of Cleveland's most en-
terprising and valuable citizens, met
with sudden death by violence, at the
Linseed Oil Works, in that city, of
which he was president and part owner
He went into the basement of the
works for the purpose Of making an
inspection of the machinery, when, it
is supposed, his foot caught in belt
and he was thrown against large
wheel which was revolving at rapid
rate. Shortly after the engineer hav-
ing occasion to enter the same place
for the purpose of regulating the water
supply to the boiler, found his employ
er dead, lying in a pool of bleod under
large lelt that passed under two
pulleys. Mr.. Dunham had been a
citizen of Cleveland since 1863, and
besides his connection with the Lin
seed Oil Works, he was president oil
the Amherst Stone Company and was
identified with other enterprises. He
was a trustee of the Water Works of
the Forest City and as IA business man
and citizen highly esteemed.

Correspondence.
Another of our oldest inhabitants,
whose earthly pilgrimage numbered
four score and ten yeals, has been gath
cred in by the Great Reaper. On Sat
urday, March Is, occurred the death
of Mrs. Rebecca Richardson Pierce,
relict of the late VIM. Pierce of Man
tua. Mrs. Pierce was born in Lem
stead, n. H, April IS, 1892. While
yet child her parents changed their
residence to Wegtern Vermont, where
her youthful days were spent, until
she was q years of age, when she was
united in marriage with her late hus-
band, and three years later they emf
grated to Norfolk, st. Lawrence Co.,
N. Y, then Il wild, heavy tinbered
region, near the borders of Canada,
where with patient endurance and un-
tiring industry they encountered the
trials and harlships of a pioneer life
for fifteen years, making for them
selves II pleasant and comfortable
home. Two visits, only, were made
to the dear old home and relatives
which she had reluctantly left in Yer
mont, making The tedious journeys in
Winter, over snow covered fences and
the ffy'Zen surface Of Lake Champlain.
Ten children were born to them, of
whom eight lived TO years OF maturity,
tie eldest, boy OF two and a-haif
vaopG ,Uac hlIriaI in Vapn,put o,,, fl ~
youngest, daughter Of twelve years,
died in Mautua in 1856. In 1884 they
became imbued with that restless
spirit of enterprise and adventure
which prompted so many to leave
| their eastern homes and seek new
homes and fortunes in the Far West,
and taking their little flock they trav-
! eled, by way of Lakes Ontario and
Erie, TO Ohio, landing at the village of
| Cleveland, then containing less than
| 5000 Inhabitants. After encOunterng
the various changes and vicissitudes
of life incident to making home in a
new country, the family reached Man
tua in 1912, and ten years later, were
established in q home of their own.
| Here the husband and father died in
1855, and since then the widowed
mother has been surrounded by a low
ing band of eight childred (only once
broken by the death of her oldest
daughter, Mrs. Sophia Lamb, ia 1879,
whose tenderest care and NEST devoted
affection have been cheerfully bestow-
ed to render the declining years of a
loved parent full of comfort, ease and
happiness. Her home for many years
has been with her eldest son, VIM. H
Pierce, a thriving and prosperous
farmer, living near Mantua Center.
In 1855, under the ministratious o
Elder John Errett, she laid hold of {
hope of eternal salvation through

8 ealing to Prevent starvation.

There has been much suffering along
the Wabash, caused by the high wa
ters. A few miles above Vincennes,
on the Illinois side poor laborer, with
a family of children who had not had
food for two entire days, went to mill
in the neighborhood to ask credit for a
twenty-five cent sack of earn meal
For reasons, the propriety of which it
is not necessary to discuss, the miller
refused. The man driven to despera-
tion by the vision of his starving little
ones which rose before his eyes, seized
sack of the coveted meal and hasten
ed to his home as fast as his legs could
carry him. The miller did not give
chase, but went instead to constable,
and sent him to the house of the hun
CRY hief to either bring the meal back
or arrest the man. The constable set
out on his mission and arrived at the
home of the starving family in time
to witness most extraordinary sight.
Fearing pursuit, and impelled by hun
ger TO make hay while the sun shone, ;
figuratively speaking, the man, woman
and children were mixing up the meal
with cold water and eating it raw.
fearing that delay necessary to its cook
ing would be disastrous. The consta-
ble, disgusted with the motive of his
visit, quietly stole away, leaving the
poor people in the enjoyment of their
meal, to tell the hard-hearted miller
that another officer than he must be
selected to make the desired arrest
