The strength, character and enthusiasm
OF the meeting was evidently a surprise to
the members of the opposition who were
present. They had not expected to see
such turnout on an "off day. 1t was
III STRIKING contrast with many gatherings
that had been previously held and proved
that the leaven of liberalism is permeating
the county, and that even the citadel OF
so-called democracy may be shaken to it's
foundation ere another year passes.
There was something else quite evident,
also, which did not contribute tothe peace
OF mind of the opposition. The taffy
thrown out to the colored people at Lynch
burg didn't catch worth a cent. The
dulest blackskin i'll the audience was able
to see through the thin veil of deception
and set his face against all such frauds.
There was nothing more apparent in the
meeting of Saturday than that the colored
voter was not and could not be fooled BY
the promise of placing the schools for his
children under the exclusive control of
men Of his race.
The candidates selected are both worthy
and excellent gentlemen. Mr.. Hamilton
IS prosperous, substantial farmer, and a
man well known and popular throughout
the county. He was formerly the efficient
Treasurer of the county. An active worker,
a good organizer, thoroughly energetic and
alive, he will industriously canvass the
county and leaVe,no stone unturned that
will contribute to the successful termina-
ton of the issue.
Mr.. Fulcher is also popular, go-ahead
man. At the election in May, he
was chosen supervisor for Beverly Manor
district, over one Of the ablest and most
efficient officers the county has ever had.
MI. /. is farmer and also owns and oper-
ates a large distillery on Middle River.
He is one Of the most, untiring and sue
cessful canyassers, and will make his power
felt at the polls on the 9th of November.
Taken either separately OF together the
ticket is strong one, and will not only
poll the entire strength of the party, but
lead in many recruits.

HE LOCAL OPTION MOVEMENT. AT a
recent meeting of the Women S Christian

lions were adopted
WHEREAS We believe that the sale of intoxi-

Freight Discrimination.

Senator Lee has introduced another
bfll to regulate the freight charles of
railroads. 1t seems to embody Mr..
Governs ideas. The Legislature will
hardly adjourn before satisfying the
popular demand in this matter with
some measure of legislation. There is
but one thing wanted and that is 50
eminently just that honest railroad
presidents will be as anxious 20 concede
as the people are eager 10 demand it..
1t is simply that for like service every
man shall be charged alike: that all
business men shall have an equal chance
for prosperity SO far as equal rates
Tor the carriage of their goods
can give it to them. Ptnnsyl-
vania is tired of being made a mere
highway for the carriage of West
ern products free of charge across her
whole length and breadth. The charges
on freight brought from the Mississippi
and the lakes would not suffice to enable
it to reach as far as Pennsylvania S
borders, il the rates were the same as
those charged for freight moved in
Pennsylvania alone. Unrestricted com
merce between the states is u good
thing but commerce within the states
should be as free of burthen as thai
across them. And so let our Legislature
see to it that commerce in PENNSYLVANIA

A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE.
A Woman Bound, Gagged and Robbed

A Woman Bound, Gagged and Robbed.
Joseph Pinter, night Waterman at
1uengling's brewery, Pottsville, came
home early to see his wife. who is 53
years old and who remains in the house
alore, lying on the floor in dying condi.
ton. Her hands were tied behind her
back. A handkerchief was found stuffed
into her mouth. Her nostrils had been
filled with paper. She was unable to move
and was very weak. When released from
her bonds she could not rise or stand with
out assistance and blood gushed from her
nose. She was at once placed in bed,
where she now lies in q pitiable condition.
1t appears that before Mrs. Pinter went
to bed she walked through the house, in
order to see that everything was in order
for the night, when, suddenly, she was
seized by man. To prevent her from
making any outcry he tied a handkerchief
between her teeth.
The fellow then unlocked the front door
of the house and admitted an accomplice.
The two bound the woman, as described.
They found 50, it is said, Oh the premises
and with this decamped. They did the
woman no further injury that to bind and
gag her, and then leave her lying on the
floor, where she remained during the long
hours of the night, enduring physical pain
and mental anguish of the most active
character. The burglars are still at large.
That evening an unknown man had
come to see Pinter, and the unsuspecting
wife went for her husband, leaving the
stranger alone in the house. When they
got back the stranger could not be seen.
They searched the house, but he could
not be found. 1t is now known that he
was secreted in az upper room.
Desperate Fight Between Car. Drivers.
A desperate fight occurred in Philadel-
phia last evening between John Gardner,
aged so years, and Daniel Cavanagh, aged
24 years. in boarding house at No. 1913
North Twcnty-third street. The men are
horse car drivers, and there has been a
feud between them for some time, owing
to the refusal Of Gardiner, to whom Cav
anagh had heon committed for instruc-
tions, to report him as sufficiently
proficient to take charge Of a car.
This caused Cavanagh's discharge.
Both men were drinking freely
and Constantly pickering. They came to
blows in the dining room. when Cavenagh
knocked Gardner down. The latter sprang
to his feet and, seiziDg . butcher knife,
cut Cavanagh to the bone on the right
| forearm, slashed through the muscles Of
| tho same arm with the second blow, aud
then as Cavanagh turned to escape he
hacked at his head, cutting him in seven
| places about the skull before his rage ex-
| hausted itself. One Of the cuts Oh the
| crown OF the head laid the skull bare. The
other wounds on the head were not SO
severe. l. is thought that the wounded
man will die. Gardner in in Jail. He

TWO Men who Sent comic Valentine Meet
With Painful RetributiOD.
Away back in the West End, on Gest
street, Cincinnati, where three Or four
days ago the waters of the flood stood
three feet deep, there was lively cow
hiding late last night. Mrs. Wendell
Daemmerling gave a terrible thrashing to
George Meyer and Henry MishIer, two
employees of a distil!ery, who had each
sent her comic valentine, and on which
we're inscribed, in their own handwriting,
some obscene sentences in the German
language. 1t was the writing that was
offensive, and by that Mrs. Daemmsrling
identified the scnders. Her whip was a
drayman's S black snake. Her first victim
was Meyer, whom she held and whipped
till he yelled for mercy, while Mishler
looked on and laughed. Once through
with Meyer the woman laid her formida
bic grasp upon Mishler and dealt him
double dose, while the people looked on,
cheered and laughed. Meyer was too
badly cut up to enjoy the entertainment.
Mrs. Daemmerling seasoned her blows
with choice admixture of half German,
half broken English, exclamasions, and
wound up the business with the remark
addressed to the spectators, 81 gesh dem

Pleasing Republican Picture OF Social
Life at the Capital-Whst is In Store
For the senators.
Denver Tribune (Bep.) Feb. lG.
On tho night of March 2, 1883, Senator
Edmunds entertained select party Of
friends at his rooms on K street in Wash
ington. The guests were Senators Tabor,
Hoar. Sherman, Cameron, Logan, Ingalls,
and Beck, and pale, slim gentleman
whom Senator Tabor introduced as Mr..
Hopkins, of Colorado. This genial party
sat around tho stove and 81 pped wine,
smoked cigarettes and recounted literary
"reminiscences of Rabelais, Boccaccio and
Balzac until finally Senator Hoar proposed
small game. Mr.. Hopkins, the pale,
slim gentleman from Colorado, confessed
to knowing very little about poker, but
the rest of the party insisted upon his
sitting in with them, and he was too
much of gentleman to hold out. Ac
cordingly, when the group arranged
themselves around the table, it was in the
following order
