The National Grange.

The National Grange at its late session
in Indianapolis re e'eeted the old officers,
including Capt Put Darden of Missis
sippi, Overseer, and Mrs. Put Darden,

unusually interesting, and among the
most important was the one from the
Committee on Agriculture, of which
Capt. Darden was Chairman.

Fayette Chronicle. !

Fayette Chronicle.l
On Tuesday night the down freight
jumped the track near Cannonsburg, and
Conductor A. T. Bowie lost his leg and
some of the brakesmen were slightly bruis-
ed. Mr.. Bowie's leg was cut completely of
just below the knee by the apron of the en-
CINE when attempting to jump off, and was
afterwards amputated above the knee.
With praiseworthy generosity, the
management of the N, j. & c. Road

COLUMBUS, ONO, December 7th.-The
State Canvassing Board on the vote fol
Congressman in Ohio, found the face o
returns showing Al majority for Morey il
the Seventh District, but agreed not to issue
certificates till Monday next, as James E
Campbell gave notice of mandamus in the
Supreme Court to issue to him instead of
Morey, as Clermont county returned 3,5I7
votes for H. T. Mercy and other three
counties of the District for Henry T. Morey.
Telegram.
Here is case in point. The Ohio
Returning Board postponed issuing a
certificate after canvassing the official
abstracts Of the votes in the 9TH District
to await the issue of a writ of mandamus
Of which notice had been given by one
Of the candidates. It might have been
better if our Secretary of State had pur-
sued a similar course after service of
the writ issued by Judge Wharton.
The explanation of the discrepancy be-
tween the certificate Of the Tate county
Commissioners and the accompanying
memorandum was received two DAYS
afterwards, and there yet was several
days left under the law for the Secreta-
ry to make his report to the Governor.

OuE able contemporary, the New
Orleans States, reminds THE CLARION
that Kellogg is very detestable char
acter in Louisiana. We know it, and
know there are sufficient reasons for If.
But this could not enter into the con-
sideration of the question of issuing his
certificate after the people of the Dis
trict had elected him as their Represen-
tative. A Democratic Legislature re-
districted the State The place to have
beaten him was in the District, and the
election was the time-a job that might
have been easily accomplished if the
Democrats of the District had taken a
becoming interest in the election, mas
much as it contained cOlored majority
of but about 1900.
The States reproves us for "arraign-
ing" the Governor of Louisiana, for what
seemed his intention to withhold GER
tifcate from Kellogg, and remaining
silent, when by one or two Democratic
votes he was permitted to usurp seat
in the Senate as pretended representa-
tive of Louisiana. If the States had
been informed of our course, it would
have spared us its reproof. 1t so hap
pens that THE CLARION did express
itself on that occasion. 1t held that
Kellogg ought to have been dismissed,
no. because he was not an ''inhabitant"
of Louisiana, but for the all-suficient
reason that be was usurper-that he
was "elected" by a mob, bogus Legis-
lature, which never had a legal exist
ence according to the known facts and
the decision of the Hayes administra-
ton itself We 'will venture to say
that if Kellogg has no better claim 10 a
seat in the House of Representatives,
than he had to the seat he now occupies
in the Senate, he will be hoisted.

Death OF J. n. wanraYcn.

John 81. Walraven, well known
notion merchant of this city, died
at his residence 713 Market street, at
midnight last night, IN tbeI62d year of
his age. Mr.. Walraven was born in
Christiana Hundred, and at an early
age went to Philadelphia and was ap.
prenticed in carpet manuSactory.
After he had learned his trade he mar.
ried in that city, and engaged In keep.
ing trimming store. He then moved
to Wilmington, and after a few years
went back to Philadelphia and his
last move was back to Wilmington, but
he was all the time engaged in the
same business at which he secured q
comfortable competence to leave his
family. Mr.. Walrayon was a gentle
man remarkable for his even temper
and genial disposition which made
him very popular and his society was
much sought after. He had often been
importuned to allow the use of his
name for official positions, but he firm
ly declined all offers of that kind, being
content to enjoy the quietness and
sweetness of life by pursuing the even
tenor Of his way and letting others en-
Joy the offices. For some two OF three
years past Mr.. Walraven has been suf-
fering from a cancer of the stomach
and enlargement of the liver which
gave him great pain and discomfort.
He went down to Rehoboth where he
has a cottage some three months ago
intending to stay there during the sea

Greece and Turkey.

LONDON, Aug 29.-On Sunday morn
ing Turkish troops attacked the Crooks
all along the frontier from Zorbas tC
Degani. The fighting was continued
to day.
The Greeks lost four killed and ten
wounded. The government has dis,
patched one thousand infantry, artil-
lery and gendarmes to the frontier. The
Turkish account of the battle is as fol-
lows:
Some Greek troops attempted to take
forcihle possession of the disputed terri
tory of Karalik Dervend, on the Thes-
sAlian frontier, but they were repulsed
with heavy loss by the Turks, under
Ragheb Pasha. There were eight men
killed and ten wounded, on the Turkish
side. The Greek minister at ConstaD-
tinople had a conference with Said
Pasha, Turkish minister of foreign af
fairs to- day.
CoNsrANTINoPLE, August 29.-M.
CondOuriotis, the Greek ambassador,
repre- 3ented to Said Pasha that the collis-
sioO was provokedsby a violation of
Greek territory by the Turks.
Said Pasha replied that last month a
detachment of Greek troops crossed the
frontier and cut the telegraphic com.
munication between Turkish military
post and village. The Turks, requir.
ing supplies, were obliged to pass
through part of the Greek territory.
They were opposed and fired upon by
Greeks, and retaliated, driving off the
latter.

The murder Of s.Jack" turner.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga gentle
man from Alabama, who has been
prominent In that State in both Judi.
cial and political circles, said that
though he had been absent while the
Choctaw County troubles had been
brewing and eliminating he had been
careful to inform himself as we'll as he
could, and he believed that the hanging
, of Jack" Turner was not only an un-
warranted political murder, but that
the political mnrderers had carried the
matter very much further than they
first intended. By the alleged finding
of papers which they used to excuse
the arrest of Turner as showing an i'm
pending crisis, they stirred up popular
feeling which maddened the commun-
ity and before they knew 1t the man
they expected to land In the Penitenti-
ary was made corpse.
The gentleman said shat he believed
1t would react. As evidence sustaining
his theory he mentioned that several
others of the blacks In Choctaw county,
who had been prominent politically,
are now in jail as conspirators. He
believed that it was the original inten-
tion to put these men In Jail and keep
them out of politics until after elec-
tions, by putting few leaders in. close
confinement, to so intimidate the other
colored voters that they would have no
trouble from them, The political char
acter of Choctaw county was 30 dan
gerously independent that the Demo-
Gratis found this course necessary to &C.
cure the same harmony with their ideas
in that section that they were sure of
the State.

Louisville a Fortunate city.

This city has been singularly fortu-
nate, as several Citizeng have of late
gotten small fortunes in drawing prizes
in the lottery. The last fortunate one
is Mr.. VIM. W. Irwin, clerk in the
Auditors OEce of the L. & N. r. R.,
I'd and Main streets. Mr.. Irwin yes
terday, while working in the office, re-
ceived an official looking document
bearing the N. 0. post-mark, and dis
covered, to his great joy, official notifi-
cation that he had drawn one fifth of
$4,000 in the Louisiana State Lottery,
amounting to $4,000. The lucky ticket
was No. 85,003. Some time ago Mr..
Irwin purchased his first lottery ticket,
very near the number which then drew
the capital prize. He then thought he
would again, and this time produced
such golden results. Mr.. Irwin is a
middle aged man, married and has a
small family. He has been connected
with the L. & N. for several years, and
has been faithful worker, and many
friends are profuse in their congratula-
tions. Louisville Courier journal,

Heavy Cost of q strike.

A special despatch from Cohoes, New
York, says: The Harmony Mill strike
eaded to-day. With very lew excep-
tions the "sJay outs" have returned TO
work under the ton per cent. reduction.
A review of the strike and its conse-
quences give some interesting facts.
The number of employees, including
every grade, is nearly 1000, and the
payroll every four weeks will average
$4,000, The weavers are the most i'm
portant of the laborers. They number
1900, and operate five looms each.
Their daily wages will average $1.l0,
and their total loss during the "stay-
out" reaches $116,600, besides $l2, 900
to overseers apd section hands. There
are one hundred and thirteen pairs of
mules, and the loss to the overseers,
mule spinners and spinning.roJms
hands amounts to $34,940. In the
carding. rooms there are 900 employed,
on whom loss in wages of $44, 900 has
been entailed. The spinning depart
ment is operated by children, and their
addition to the general loss will exceed
$25, 200. Spoilers and Wrappers would
have earned $4,000, and the dressers
and all other department, including
laborers, would have been credited
with $l6,500 The total loss in wages
amounts to $267,24O. These figures
are under the 10 per cent. reduction

SWDpIyIHx Reef,

The New York letter to the Philadel-
Ihia Ledger of to-day says
There is much tribulation among the
market men and butchers here over a
daring piece Of enterprise on the part
0f Chicago, in shipping beef by the
carcass to New York, and uuderselling
local dealers to ar extent, which, if un-
checked, promises to drive the laCter
from the field. The Chicagoans, it
would appear, have made very sue
cessful preliminary experiment In this
way at Baltimore, and with such en-
couraging results as to warrant an ex-
tension of their operations to New York.
Philadelphia in due time will also be
taken in hand, no doubt. AT Baltimore
the local dealers had been charging
their customers 20 25c. per pound for
meat, but the Chicago operators say
they can put the same quality in the
market at from y to 16 cents, and make
money by it. If they can accomplish
the same result in New York, then they
will not only make fortunes for them
selves, but receive the thanks Of CRATE
full consumers. Latterly, a number Of
Chicago firms have been shipping to the
-EhSbEIu GlUISb ilUO bheah @bOhO AOAtJ
car loads day, or about 150 dressed
cattle.
This meat is shipped in refrigerator
cars, some by express and Others by
freight, and the meat itself is delivered
as fresh and as sweet as it was when it
came from the slaughter house. The
principal advantage in shipping the
meat dressed over the old custom of
shipping it on the hoof is found to be
the saving in freight. One car would
carry thirty. five dressed cattle, whereas
the same car would not carry more than
half that number alive-a saving of one
half in freight alone, to say nothing of
the economy Of handling dressed over
live cattle. With this saving Chicago
shippers predict shat it will be impos.
sible for the Eastern butchers TO handle
cattle alive as in the past, and under
take to compete with those dealing in
the dressed article furnished by the
West. The new order of things, there
fore, they contend, would be of great
advantage to Eastern consumers o1
Western products, in that they will
not only get a better article of meat, buI
alsoget it cheaper. The New York
butchers and market men, however
view the M after from far different
standpoint. They say it simply meant
''ruin," but what they propose to dt
about it remains to be seen.
