show, was terribly burned. his flesh hanging

the dying within the car. The roar of the

the scene terrible beyond description. The

Word Anent Mr.. Blaine.
Lie Nailed.

bourbon (Ky.) News
Isaac r. Purnell, Of Dover, Ind has been
interviewed by the Richmond Ind. reporter
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Mr..
Purnen says that he, with most of the viii
layers of Millersburg, witnessed the marriage
of James G. Blaine to Miss Stanwood, in the
parlor Of the seminary, aud also witnessed
their departure in hacks for Paris or
Cynthiana, where they took the cars for
their wedding tour. We wish to positively
refute this lie by stating these facts: o.
The records of the County Court in Bour-
bon, Harrison and Nicholas show that no
license was ever issued for the mar
rage of the parties. (2) That no rail-
road existed at either Paris or Cynthi-
ana at the time (1S51) that Miss Stanwood
took her departure from Millersburg, and the
railroad was not completed until several
years later. 81 That it can be proven that
Miss Star wood left in 1851 by fifty citizens
in and near Millersburg. (4) That the
schools at the Blue Licks and Millersburg
under the control of Colonel Thornton John
son were removed from Millersburg in 1851
TO DrenDon Springs, Henry County. The
very idea that Ike Purnell having witnessed
the marriage of Blaine is too ridiculous for
consideration by any one who ever lived in
MillersbuTg, and Blaine himself would laugh
at the absuIdltY.

Editors Plain Dealer:
The Herald of yesterday contained 'spe-
cial'' from San Francisco to the effect that a
sister OF Mrs. Blame stated that the latter
never saw the ''Plumed Knight" until six
years after the death of their father, which
occurred in January, 1855.
The Leader also had the same statement
and a characteristic editorial this morning
Mailing the Calumny" claims that the
"strociOus calumny" is literally torn to
pieces and scattered to the Winds"
But let US seek little. According to the
sisters statement the "Majah" could not
have met the lady IN question prior to Janu-
ary 1851 The Augusta Age, published at
Mr.. Blaine's home, says the inscription on
the tombstone before mutilation read: Born
June Is, 1851. Died July 81, 1854. Doubt
less the dates have been read by hundreds of
citizens. We know it has been claimed that

graphed statement, and 90 through the pre-

Of June following, exhibits a degree Of
smartness which good old-fashioned people
would hardly want to see heralded in the
papers. The defense seems to prove alto
Sether too much. and the advice OF the
Washington Republican to Mr.. Blaine to

PIRATE.
By the way, We nave not seen the an
