Disastrous EInnds.

Mild weather and heavy rains have swelled
the streams throughout Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania to overlooking and immense
damage has been inflicted. Bradford, Pa,
was visited by the flood on the mig hit of the
Sd, which inundated about 500 houses. The
lower part Of the city was submerged in some
cases to the depth of ten feet. Five bridges
were swept away, and several houses along
the bank Of the creek were badly damaged or
totally destroyed. Eighty-five families on the
fiat between Bradford and Tarport, living in
one-stOrv houses, had to flee for their lives
when the lce-gorge broke, leaving all their
effects, and many of the houses were swept
away. The damage between Pttsburg and
Oil City will amount to several hundred thou
sand dollars. Ktaning is partly inundated,
The damage at Akron aggregates $50, 0J0, of

The Republican Meetings.

A series of public meetings running
up to Monday evening next are now
being held in this county, and are
unusually well attended, showing
that Republicans are alive to the inn
portance of the present election. The
meetIngat McHenry, Thursday even
ing of last week. is said to have been
the largest political meeting ever
held there. The meetings at Kitz-
millersviile, the Shook Shop, Frank
lin Mines. New Germany and Grants
vile were very well attended. and
great enthusiasm pervaded all these
meetings. These meetings were adj.
dressed by Hon. H. Wheeler Combs,
w. P. Townshend. Esq, and Mr.. Ed.
H. Sincell.
Meetings will be held at Accident
Friday afternoon, at Selbysport Sat.
urday afternoon, at Ira r. Friends
school house Saturday night, and at
Bloomington Monday night.
Republicans generally throughout
the county feel assured that we will
elect our entire ticket by good ma
jorities. This feeling, however, should
not cause them to cease working, but
should rather stimulate them to con-
tinue to do all they can for the ticket
until the close of the polls next Tues
day. We have a majority of voters
in the county, we have the best
ticket, we have harmony in our par
ty. All we need now is good, hard
work, and all will be well.

The Execution of John Smith.

AS heretofore announced John
Smith will be executed for the muir
der of Josiah Harden, on the 10th of
the present month. Preparations are
now being made for that event, by
enclosing a sufficient space adjoining
the jail with high fence, in order to
have the execution strictly private,
as provided by law. AS large num-
Der of the citizens of our county and
others have expressed their intention
to be present, and have made appli-
cation to Sheriff Jamison for permits
sion, it is well for them to know that
only limited number are allowed
to be present under the act of 1882,
such as relatives of the condemned,
his spiritual advisers, the Jail physi-
clan, &c.
The following letter from the At
torney General of Maryland will ex-
plain itself:
BALTIMORE, MD, Oct 18th, 1888.
EDMUND JAMESON, Esq,
Sheriff Of Garrett Co..
Dear Sir:
/ received
your letter of October 10th this morn
ing.
If you have reason to apprehend
that any attempt will be made by the
prisoner, John Smith, to escape from
your custody before, or on, the day
of his execution, you are authorized
to command as many of the male in
habitants of your county, as you may
think necessary, to assist you in pre-
venting such escape.
This power over the posse comitdtus,
which you possess, is sufficient, if You
exercise it, to ensure the safe keeping
of the prisonerauntil he is executed.
Ifyou can find space enough within
your Jail walls to execute the sentence
of the law, in the presence of the des-
ignated persons, 1882. chap. 403, exc
cute the prisoner in the Jail. If the
building afford no such space, enclose
a yard, adjoining the Jail, sufficient
in size to contain the scaffold and
those whose attendance is provided
for by the law, with a strong fence,
high enough to exclude the execution
from outside view, and see that such
fence is guarded, upon the outside,
on the day of execution, by sufti-
cient posse cOnaitdtus.
Yours respectfully,
G. j. M. GWINN,

Vote the Whole Ticket.

Our adversaries are pursuing their
usual game of endeavoring to break
the value of the coming election by
securing Republican votes for some
of the names on their ticket. Our
ticket as a whole has been duly NOM
mated by Convention. which was as
legitimate an embodiment of the
views of the party as any ever held
in our county. The candidates have
accepted the positions for which they
were named, and have thereby pledg-
ed themselves to the party platform,
which distinctly enumeratesthe meas
ures of Reform it claims are needed in
the State. By doing this they have
claim on the party vote, which in
this county, is largely in the major
ity, especially when fully brought
out. Let then this claim be met, and
the evening of election-day will show
a large majority for every name on
the Republican ticket. Let there be
a solid vote and the election will re-
suit in solid victory that will glad
den the hearts of Republicans every
where.

You shall weep and sigh no more.

In Christ alone we must depend,
All through the christian race;
The foe may e'er assail,
With might on every hand,
But Jesus strength will never fail,
Till we reach that heavenly land.
CHORUS
Affections, sore and long,
May bear upon the heart,
And in the hours of mirth and song,
Our joys may quick depart,
Our dearest friends may die,
And we be left alone;

LONDON, Oct. 28.-There are re-
newals of the earthquakes at the
eastern end of the Mediterranean, in
yolving an extensive loss of life and
property. Smyrna had been warned
in time and the people were prepar-
ed to escape, so that the loss of life
was small, but the loss of property is
very heavy. The walls which have
stood since the crusades were thrown
down, the ancient aqueduct was des-
troyed and mosques and churches
ruined. The people are panic strick-
en-, and the town is temporarily al
most deserted, the inhabitants camp
ing on the frontier. 1t is said that in
some of the smaller towns the loss of
life has been very heavy. The
Kgean sea was agitated in many
places. The shocks have been felt in
Greece, and at CapauvioIa alone 40
persons are reported as having been
hurt.

THE MINERS DEFENDED.
BY a Friend, in the Garrett County
Court.

Correspondence OF LOnacOninS REVIEW
OAKLAND. Nd, Oct. %, 1888.
In these times of political discus
sions 1 have thought that word or
two from Garrett county might be
interesting to your many subscribers
both in this and Allegany county.
! l want to say a few words to the
miners and working men, who live
and vote in Garrett county, about
| Mr.. III. Wheeler Combs, one of the
candidates for the Legislature. on the
Republican ticket, and / will start by
saying that if he is elected the miners
of Garrett and'Allegany counties will
have no one in that whole body who
will be their warmer friend than he.
l have known him for years and he
has always advocated the right of the
workingmen to protect their labor by
peaceful combinations and unions.
He was raised among the miners of
Georges Creek, and knows their needs
as we'll as any man on the Creek, and
if elected they can go to him and
know that he is their true friend.
During a recent trial here of man
charged with horse stealing Mr..
Combs who defended him offered evil
dence to prove an alibi. An attor-
ney from Cumberland, once the States
Attorney of Allegany, was employed
to assist the prosecuting Attorney of
this county. and when he came to
argue the case he said that an alibi
was always the resort of scOundrelS
and rascals and that he remembered /
time in the history of Allegany
county when the miners and boat
men there could prove. an alibi for
nearly every person charged with
crime. Mr.. Combs came forward
with noble and manly defense of
the miners. He said that he was born
and raised among the miners of Allie
gany county and he remembered no
such time in the history of the
miners Of Allegany county that it
was a SANDER upon that people with
whom he had lived and who he knew
long before the gentleman had left
his Virginia home that if he wanted
to point out good, honest, manly, |
handwriting, community he would |
not need to go beyond the coal re-
gions to find it in the people who
worked those coal fields. In conclu-
sion he said 81 came from among
them and I am proud Of it; the asser-
ton made by the gentleman from
Cumberland is a SANDER and 1 refute
it. His tribute to the high character |
of the miners was spontaneous, elO- |
quent and manly, and if | had not |
known him it alone would have con-
WINGED me of his warm friendship for |
the miners. Now let me appeal to |
the miners of Garrett county, with.
out regard to party feelings, to give
Mr.. Combs solid vote and send him |
to the legislature to help the work
ingmen's friends from Allegany Sc
cure their rights. | am a working
man and | guarantee that there will
be no one in the legislature who will
be better friend to the interests of
the labOring man than Mr.. Combs, |
of Garrett county. Hoping Mr.. Edi-
tor, that in the interests of your
subscribers, the miners of Garrett |
county, you will find space for this,
| am
Yours respectfully,
