County Agricultural Society have
asked us why We advised that the
award OF premiums at tho Fair OF
1883, should not be published. Pre-.
suming that there arc yet others
who desire to know why VIC so ad-
visei nd to whom we cannot per.
sonally give our reasons, we take
this method Of putting ourself right;
for the reason that we cannot allow
the controversy going on over the
matter to place US In afalse position.

such was not the case. We attended
the meeting for the annual election
OF officers, arriving after that was

the resolution to pay the indebted

the payment OF premiums awarded.
We favored the action taken by the
society.

the action Of the society In regard

BUrFALo, July III Exclusive. The
political situation in Buffalo is of far more
than local interest. Toward.this beautiful
city BY the lake the eyes all the land have
been and are directed. How does Cleye-
land stand in his own home is the univer-
sal question. So far the Cleveland cam
paign as conducted by his friends has been
actively aggressive, The effect of this is
to greatly dishearten the Republicans
who daily grow gloomier When Blaine
was nominated the leader OF the German
population gave fair warning that they re-
garded the tattooed man as national enc
my. The speech made by DIR,
Stock last evening had a telling effect,
for to-day there has been a steady exodus
from the Republican camp to the Cleveland
ranks. Chief among those who came over
was Jacob F. Schoellkopf who is probably
the wealthiest German manufacturer in the
city. He was seen this evening by your
correspondent and was found to be very
enthusiastic for the Governor. Mr.. Schoell-
kopf is a thorough protectionist, but he be-
lieves Cleveland to be able and honest, and
is for him out and out 1t is safe TO say
that within week the great majority of the
German leaders of the city will have rallied
to the Governors support. The Republi-
cans tried to have procession this even

nearly reached the open water leading to
that point when the heavy ice pack began
to close. A nip in such ice meant destruc-

passage throug III it, bur all in vain. AT a
quarter before 8 p. m. the vessel was again
nipped. The matches were opened
and Lieutenant Darlington. with
Sc, eral men got the most necessary articles
ON deck. They were thrown on the ice and
another patty transferred them to a safe
place. There was something for everyone
TO do and the men labOred as men can only
do in such desperate extreme. Heavy
boxes of provisions were thrown overheard
TO be carried to safe quarters. Extreme
exertions were often needed to save them.
The ice was breaking through the starboard
bulwarks and crushing in that side: The ves-
sci pressed over to port. The engine boiler was
expected to explode every moment The hold

Stacked and the vessel sank rapidly. Her
masts were stripped of her yards as she sank
through the ice. Dogs and pigs were soon
scrambling among the general debris, and
the whole presented most horrible wreck

representing cash outlay Of twenty-five
millions in land and ocean lines, enter into

Ex-Alderman Joseph c. Hacker criticised
severely the action takeu by Col. Roehr,
and it is reported was mainly instrumental
in securing the passage o. resolutions by the
club calling for the boyeotting Of the Free
Pres. and asking for Col Roehr's expulsion
from the association. The club is small

Story in Detail.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, July IL EX-
elusive. ". B. Archer, a prom
inent attorney of Writ county, and
we'll known here made an assignment Of
his effects and has gone out West to grow
up better man il is to be hoped Dark
rumors are afoat as to the causes which
led to the sudden departure. In addition
to the practsce of law Archer engaged
in merchandising and also acted in the
capacity broker for a Chicago. stock gam
bling concern, in which he lost heavily.
After exhausting all his spare cash and
being driven to deportation and hoping to
recover his losses the developments indicate
that he was tempted to use the funds in his
hands, derived from transactions made with
different parties among whom Parkcrsburg
creditors suffer. He held for collection 500
of paper belonging to the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, part of which he had
realized upon without making due
returns. In one or two cases where parties
had renewed their paper Archer had the
renewal made in his own name. He assign
ed some or had them discounted and pOck-
eted the proceedings Several other notes
are missing and it is surmised Archer
collected them and used the cash in his
wild speculation His credit was always of
the highest character and many honest
hard-working old farmers in that vicinity
loaned him money and mourn the loss Of
hard earned cash. Such was
his standing with the Parkersburg
Citizens National Bank that it permitted
him to everdraw his account to the amount
of 81, 500. The exact amount of his liabil-
ties has not been aScertained but il is large
ly in excess of his assets which will not ex-
ceed $4,000 Others here are victimiZed
in amounts of from $2j to 500 Archer
is supposed to be in Kansas.
