fifteen minutes afterwards. They were
near the edge of the oorniield whom he
came up with them. While talking with

he shot her with 29-calihro ball
and when she turned around shot her
with u o. callbrc ball, killing her IN

run when he followed and caught her.
She begged 50 hard for him to let her 80
that he says he came very near allow
ing her To do 20. He did lot her go,
but knowing she would tell, he followed
aud caught her again, threw her down
and cut her throat, Ii was fifteen or
twenty minutes after knappenbcrgcr

went home. When the father of the

HARRIsBURG, Pa, June S.-There
is no mistaking the sentiment of this
section on the Blaine and Logan
ticket. The ratification meeting last

lucky in that the convention gave it

From the N. Y. Tribune tRepD

James G.. Blaine has been nomi-
mated by the people and will be
elected by the people For a quar-
ter of a century no other candidate
has been more clearly preferred by
the voters. Patronage had no part
in his nomination. Even in the
hour Of their defeat his opponents
did not attribute his success to any
unworthy influence. BY them it
was admitted, as it must be admitted
by all, that the people desire the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine The
national convention wisely preferred
him to any other representative of
his ideas. Having deliberately
adopted those ideas in its platform,
the convention has selected Mr..
Blaine himself to represent them.
The nomination. Of Gen. LOGAN
for Vice President was also especial
ly fortunate. He has great strength
in the west, and with the soldiers
everywhere, and his name will kin
die the enthusiasm of the Republi-
cans at the South. The ticket can
not be beaten.
