The Adrian Guardian Of last week

During the fierce prairie fire that
ragged through, SEC. 1G, 1Oa, 43. friend
Geo. LeGr"ss had al opportunity to

One of the most frightful and de-
structive prairie fires that ever visited
that section since its settlement by
| white men, swept over LeOta and the
| north end of Wilmont townships on
Sunday last. From Mr.. a. J. Rice,
who visited the scehe. we le I'm that
the fire started in Rack county, and
urged on 10y Il stiff southwest wind, it
passed into L"ota, sweeping with re-
leniless fury through that whole Sec

that they are contributing literally to

are to be shipped to New Orleans to the

The Desperate Devotion of an Outlaw

The Desperate Devotion of an Outlaws
Wife in Southern Colorado.
From the Denre' NerS.
The following characteristic story of
frontier life was told the reporter Of the
Ners by Mr.. Nelson Franklin, who is in
the city, and who has lived for some time
during the past two years in Silverton
and other towns and camps in Southern
Colordo:
"a daring robbery had been committed.
The officials of we'll known banking in.
stitution in a town in Southern Colorado,
upon reaching the building one morning,
discovered that side-do0r had been
broken open, the fastening of an inner
door forced, and the safe containing the
bank S valuables drilled and blown, and
relieved of its contents. A careful search
of the premises revealed the body of the
Waterman in an adjoining vacant lot
pierced with knife wounds ard covered
with bruises, showing the evidence of
struggle, and that more than one person
was engaged i'll the murder and robbery.
Soon the whole community was aroused.
and the sheriff, with a posse of armed
and mounted men, was ready to start on
the trail Of the murderers. But who
were they, and where could they be
found, were questions easier to ask than
to answer.
ION the floor of the banking Dom was
found a large brimmed sombero. decora-
ted with peculiar spangles, and which
several citizens identified as having been
worn by one of three strangers who came

IF the temperance men throughout
the country had deliberately intended
to damage the prospects of Prohibition
they could not have hit upon better
plan than the one adopted, Of throwing
away their votes upon St. John. They
knew that a large proportion Of their
votes was to come from Republicans,
and that in states where the vote was
close that the only possible result of
their support Of St. John was 10 weaken
Mr.. Blaine This has proved to be
the case. In New Jersey the loss Of
the prohibition vote gave the state to
Cleveland. In New York co. 900 votes
were thrown for St John, where, should
the final result be in favor of Cleveland
the responsibility of Mr.. Blainc's defeat
will equally rest with them. For what
reason should Mr.. Blaine, and the Re
publican party, be punished by tenn
perance voters? They were intelligent
enough to know that OF the two can
didates Mr.. Blaine was in every sense
more worthy than Mr.. Cleveland, and
of the two parties they represented that
the Republican party contained an in
finitely larger proportion Of voters who
on proper occasion were friends Of pro
hibition. We believe that the pros
poets Of temperance legislation will be
irretrievaJly damaged by the course
pursued by these misguided advocates
ofamcrtorious cause. Terminated from
political issues, there is undoubtedly a
large prohibition vote in nearly every
state in the union. the inevitable re
suit of the precipitation Of this question
in Presidential contest between the
two political parties was to assist in
giving a victory to the party in every
sense hostile either to local option or
prohibitory legislation. Temperance
men have helped defeat the very men
to whom, and to whom alone, they are
to look for support in the future. We
believe that the course pursued by these
advocates of temperance in the present
campaign has done more to injure the
prospects of local option and prohibi-
ton than their best directed efforts can
possibly undo in the next twenty years.

An Address to the People by the Re-
publican National Committee.

The following address was issued late
on Thursday:
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE,
New YORK CITY, Nov. 6. }
The Republican National Commit ee
| rejoices that the returns now received
warrant it in announcing the tri-
umphant election of Blaine and Logan.
The Republicans have carried every
Northern state except New Jersey and
Connecticut. Virginia seems also to
have given majority for the Republi-
can cause and ticket, and there is a
strong probability that West Virginia
has also while other Southern States
are still in doubt. The Northern States
alone, however, give to Blaine and
Logan 255 electoral votes, and insure
their election. In New York attempts
to tamper with the returns have al
ready been detected, The actual vote
cast in New York city, Kings county,
and eighteen hundred and fifty-two
other election precincts gave at the
utmost only I4S plurality to Grover
Cleveland, while the one hundred and
sixty three precincts not yet heard
from gave 2,I7I plurality to Garfield.
There is, therefore, no ground for
doubt that the honest vote of the state
has been given to the Republican can
didates, and, though the defeated can
didate for the presidencyis at the head
of the election machinery in this state,
the Democratic party, which has motor
iously been the party of fraud in cleo
tons for years, will not be permitted to
thwart the will of the people.
The National Republican Committee
calls on the chairmen and the individ-
ual members of all county committees
to take the promptast and most strin-
gent means to protect the sanctity of
the ballot. The Republican candidates
have been honestly elected beyond a
question. Any attempt to cheat the
people, and to defeat their will thus
expressed at the polls, must be sternly
exposed and resisted by every law
respecting citizen.
(Signed) B. F. JONES, Chairman.
SAMUEL FEssENDEN, Secretary.

Careful Examination Shows That Blaine Ha

Careful Examination shows That Blaine Has
Carried New YORK
The Republican State Committee OF
New York on Thursday issued the fol-
lowing address:
In view of the claims made as to the
result OF the election in New York, the
Republican State Committee deem it
their duty to announce that, while the
vote is very close, the returns and esti.
mates from the most authentic sources
justify the belief that the people of this
state have cast plurality in favor of the
Republican candidates. We have re-
ceived copies of the official returns as
filed in the several county clerks offices
in all except eleven counties. Besides
this we have caused re-examinatio tc
be made of the returns forwarded to
police headquarters in New York and
Kings counties. From the remainin.
nine counties we have procured direct in
formation from the most reliable sources
and feel justified in asserting with entire
confidence that the state has gone Re-
publican. The result thus arrived at is
confirmed by an entirely different inves.
tigation. based upon the returns collected
directly from nearly every election dis.
t"ict in the state.
(Signed) JAMES D. WARREN,
Chairman.

the long hair streaming in the wind, and
the bright, sparkling eyes, which glowed
with animation and were sutfused with
tears during the appeal, produced an i'm
preston upon these rough men for which
they at the time could not account. At
the conclusion, however, the other pris-
oner suddenly started up and said: Gen
tlemen, don't believe the stories told you.
This is my wife, who, from her devotion
to unworthy me, has accompanied me in
all my wanderings dressed in the garb of
a man. She has III many desperate en-
counters saved my lite, and, although
delicately reared, has shared in all the
hardships, dangers and privations of my
rough life, and not only had no share in
the transactions of that evening, but
would have prevented them could she
have done SO. Don't believe her; she
would save my life at the expense of her
! own
This streak of manliness in nature
so apparently mean rather staggered the
men in their intentions for few mo-
ments, but presently some of the leaders,
remembering their purpose, ordered that
preparations should at once be made for
the hanging of the man. Suddenly the
woman sprang up like tigress about to
be deprived of her young, and. snatching
a pistol from the belt of one of the men,
detied them to hang her husband; then,
in another spirit, she fell on her knees
and pitiously prayed the stern men be-
fore her to spare her love, her life. The
appeal was most pitious aud affecting,
and at its close she fell into dead swoon.
Carrying her to one side the CHASTITY
preparations We're soon completed, and
but 4 few minutes later the body of Jack
Maitland was swinging in mid-air ano
the punishment for the cruel crime which
had been committed was complete. The
wife was conveyed to town, and, after
lowering between life and death fol
weeks, finally recovered sufficiently tc
be sent home to her friends in the East
who proved 10 be people of wealth and
standing"

An Attack Upon the Baltimore
Custom House.

A band of Democratic roughs, full
to OVERLOOKING with rum and excite
ment, carrying brooms cudgels tin
horns ect., attempted to invade the
Baltimore Custom House on Thursday
last. When the drunken mob reached
the government building, one of their
number cried out: Lets so through
and clean the rascals out :"
A decided move was then made TO
enter the building. The gang proposed
to march around the rotunda. The
Waterman gave an alarm, and in an
instant 80 officials dropped their pens
and rushed from their desks to the
doorway. Those who had them seized
their canes others took rulers, or
whatever else they could find that
would prove useful in an encounter.
One or two felt in their hip pockets to
see if their pistols were there.
The gang was brought to sharp
halt when they saw formidable array
of opponents blocking the doorway.
They yelled and whooped at the Fed
eral officials and shook their fists at
them. Everything was ripe for a first
class fight when a squad of police
pushed to the front and dispersed the
gang of paraders.
This thing was repeated several
times, and the collector Of Customs
and his assistants had their hands full
in restraining the government employees
from wading in and cleaning out the
mob. These Government employees are
mainly old soldiers, and their blood was
up, and it would not have taken much
more to have induced them to give
their assailants some of the same kind
of medicine they gave Southern rebels
during the war.

OUTSIDE Of the result Of this cam
paign Mr. Blaine has made a splendid
record as bold and aggressive cham
pion of Republican principles. His
personal canvass is unparalleled in the
history Of American politics. He has
deservedly challenged the admiration
OF the country, not only by the genius
and tact he has displayed il the multi
piled addresses he has made to the
people, but his splendid physical force,
his wonderful powers Of endurance
have no less challenged public admira-
ton. Day after day, amidst the attend
ant eHcitements Of an exceptional cam
paign, his mind constantly on the
stretch, he has risen after few mo-
ments of disturbed sleep, apparently as
fresh as ever, outrivaling younger men
in his freshness and vigor. President
or not President, he is an admirable
specimen of American manhood, whose
resistive nature neither calumny can
conquer or defeat discourage.

\ Large Republican Majority Certain.
There is no doubt that the Republi-
cans have elected the il State and cleo
toral tickets. The Upper Peninsula re-
ports largely increased maiorities for the
Republican ticket, which overcome much
Of the Democratic gains in the Lower
Peninsula. The Past, Republican, claims
the election of the Republican ticket by
from 10, coo to $4,000 plurality.

The State for Blaine by Not Less than IL 600
"A Gain of Three Congressman.
Republican figures in this State i'm
prove as returns come in from rural and
numbering districts. The election of
seven Republican Congressman is settled
a gain of three. The Legislature is
undoubtedly Republican, securing the
election Of a Republican United States
Senator to succeed Angus Cameron. The
Blaine ticket will probably have not less
than -, 900 plurality.

as to the possible majorities. but the
state was generally conceded to the Re-
publicans both on the state and presi-
dental tickets. The chairman of the
Republican state committee claims 90,
600 Republican majority for governor,
and a Republican majority in both bran
ches of the legislature.
