A Bridge Demolished.

HARRIsBURG, August 21.-The
Lebanon Valley Railroad bridge
which spanned the Pennsylvania
canal at this place was totally wreck
ed at 9.35 this morning. One of
the cars of a freight train consist
ing of forty-five cars jumped the
track about thirty yards west of the
bridge. This train was running
at a great speed and it and sixteen
cars that preceded it were safely
landed on this side of the bridge.
The car which had jumped the
track thew others following it off
the rails on the bridge, and they,
striking the heavy cylindrical sup
ports the latter gave way, and the
bridge. with its freight, was precipi-
tated into the canal. Seven cars
were wrecked, six Of them loaded
with coke and one with lumber.
Two of the wrought iron columns of
the bridge struck the Union News
Company's Office and damaged it
considerably.
At the time of the accident seven
newsboys were in the office, who
made narrow escapes from the fly
ing glass, one of the windows being
smashed into fragments. A brake
man on the train made narrow
escape, the bridge being in process
of demolition as he ran over the
tops of the cars. The total loss is
about $4,000. On August IA, 1880,
an iron bridge at the same point
was wrecked in an almost similar
manner and $4,000 were expended
in replacing it. The present wreck
is even more complete than the
first

COTTAGE CRY, Mass. August, %.
The United States ship Tallapoosa,
from Boston to Newport wss sunk
in collision with the schooner
James S Lowell, of Bath, about three
miles northeast of Oak Bluffs, Mar
tha's Vineyard, at Ills last night
The ship was struck by the schoo-
ner, the latter cutting clear through
to amid ships. She sunk in about
five minutes in 10 fathoms of water,
in mid-channel. She now lies on
what is known as Squash Meadow
Flat, and the smokestack and the
mast alone are visible. The Schoo-
ner commanded by Captain Reed,
was bound from Baltimore to Port
land with coal. She was damaged
somewhat about the bow. AS the
Tallapoosa went down her whistle
was blown as a signal of dis
tress.
The whistle was heard by the
Boston and Savannah steamer Gate
City, bound for Savannah She came
to the sinking ship Immediately,
and with the schooner Mary A..
Hood, which happened to be near
by, rescued the men and officers,
with two exceptions. The Tallapoosa
had 140 men and officers, and SO far
as known only two are missing
Assistent Surgeon c. E. Black and
George A. Foster, landsman.
After rescueing the officers and
men the Gate City blew her whistle
and the steamer Fish Hawk, lying
at the wharf at Woods Holl, sent off
her steam launch, The Gate City
lay to until 3 IA. M, transferring the
rescued men TO the launch, by which
they were landed at Woods Holl.

Certainty In Ohio.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-Juoge
Lawrence, of Ohio, who is, perhaps,
the best informed man in Washing
ton on political matters in this state,
said to-day that the Prohibitionists
would poll about 5000 votes in No
vember. Ohio will give the Repub-
lican ticket at least 10000 in Octo-
Der, and Blaine will carry it by 30,-
600 in November. The defeat of
Representative Converse for re-nom-
ination is pretty severe blow to the
Democracy. Converse is a tariff
Democrat, and had been especially
active in trying to get a bill through
to increase the tariff on wool. There
are 5000 wool growers in Ohio and
probably 2,500 are Democrats. In
1882 the Republicans lost a good
many votes, because the Democrats
charged that the Republican Con-
gress had reduced the tariff on wool.
The Democrats issued and circulated
among the wool growers a pamph-
let. saying in substance that it was
the Republicans who reduced the
tariff on wool, and that the Demo-
cratic party would do all in its pow
er to secure the restoration of the old
tariff. At the last session of Con-
gress. when Converse tried to get his
bill up, nearly eyery democrat voted
against it. The Democrats in Con-
verses district have laid him aside
solely because of his tariff views.
The Defeat of Converse, Judge Law
renee says, is worth 5000 votes to
the Republicans of Ohio, because it
will be regarded by the wool growers
as a condemnation of his course in
favoring protection.

Grady TO Speak for Butler.

New York, August 21.-Ex-Sena-
tor Thomas F. Grady, who was
Tammany's loud-mouthed spokes-
man at Chicago and who is bitterly
opposed to Cleveland, to-day sent in
his resignation from the Democrat
ic Subcommittee. He says the
reasons for the act are obvious. He
is the man whom Governor Cleve-
land prevented from being re-elect-
ed State Senator, because of his
(Grady's) course IN Albanyin oppo-
sition to the Governor. Grady's
action now is undoubtedly the re-
suit of the knowledge that Tamma-
ny Hall, as an organization. will for
mally supper: Cleveland and Hen
bricks. 1t is thought that while
there are good many Tammany
men who will not vote for Cleve-
land, still there is large majority
who will, and besides this Tammany
does not dare to oppose the regular
Democratic organization. As for
Grady, he will probably take the
stump for Butler, and those who
know what influence he exerted in
Chicago can't wish General Butler
any worse indorsers.

FOLLOWING the withdrawal of the
Independent from the support of
Cleveland, comes the Pres5yterlan
Banner, an able journal that is in no
sense a partisan paper. In its issue
of the 18th inst. it says editorily:
We are pained to learn from leading Dem
ocratic journals and from the published ad-
missions of his personal friends, that Mr.
Cleveland, the Democratic nominee fer the
Presidency, has not lived a cbaste life
We are confident that, had this fact been
generally known. be would never have re
eeived the pomirstion of a party which has
in It's ranks SO many men of national. fame
and Of spotless reputation. 1t would be q
stapendous blunder should the political
leaders of either party disregard the moral
character of their candidate. The vast ma
iority Of American citizens unite in desir.
ing that the executive head of our great Re
public, to whichever party he may belong,
should be a man whose Life had been above
reproach-a man TO whom Americans of all
parties might point with pride.
When the non-partisan religious
press is thus constrained to speak
out against the impurity of the
Democratic candidate, it is evident
that the moral sense of the public
has been shocked by the disclosures
made, and a true respect for the de-
cencies of life and for the character
of the Republic will induce thou
sands, who under other circumstan-
ces would have supported Mr..
Cleveland, to cast their ballots
against him.

Lean for Presiding Judge of the dis
trict composed of Adams and Full
ton counties. W. Scott Alexander
of this place was elected Chairman
of the county Committee for the en-
suing year. This was the most en-
thusiastic Republican Convention
held in the county for years, and
the ticket formed will in all proba-
bility be elected, as there is great
detection in the democratic ranks by
reason of their State ticket.

The Drouth in Ohio.

NEwcoMERsTowN, August 20.-
Another severe drouth now prevails
throughout this section, and unless
rain soon comes it will be more Sc
rious in its effect than was the
drouth last month. In this immedi-
ate section we have had little rain of
consequence for about three weeks,
aud vegetation is rapidly drying up
and corn fields, where the ears are
forming, are in serious danger of the
corn not filling out. The ground is
hard and the weather SO hot that
farmers can scarcely plow foF wheat,
and pastures are becoming brown
and bare. In Guernsey county,
Just south of here, the drouth has
been OF longer duration and its ef-
fects more biting. In a drive
through portion Of Guernsey coun-
ty on the road from Gilmore 10
Kimbleton, the observer could not
see green blade of grass save here
and there, and found that immense
numbers Of grasshoppers, which in
have nothing to feed
upon. have attacked the corn and al
ready fields Of this grain have been
stripped Of all the blades and only
the bare stocks are to be seen stand
ing across the fields. Unless the
drouth is soon broken more serious
damage will follow.

SHAMoKIS, Aug. 21.-Fire broke
out yesterday in the Buck Ridge
mine slope. fifteen hundred feet from
the surface. The company bought
the Greenback colliery adjoining,
the workings of which are higher
than those of the Buck Ridge col
liery. The intention was to bore a
hole thirty-six feet in length from
the Greedback to the Buck Ridge
colliery. turn the creek into both
collieries, and by flooding them put
out the fire. While the men were
engaged in this work to-day, gas sud
danly poured in from the burning
mine, and before they could escape
seven men fell victims to the deadly
gas. 1t is impossible to reach their
bodies, and both mines are full of
gas and the fire is increasing. Elev-
en- mules were also burned.

Now that Clevela nd's letter of ac-
ceptance has been published, people
are wondering why he took to the
woods to wrestle with his thoughts
in secret. The mighty struggle has
not evolved single new sentiment
or idea. The letter is made up of
political platitudes conveying no
definite meaning, and giving no
idea of what may be expected in
case its author should be elected. 1t
is remarkable more for its evasion
OF the issues of the campaign, than
for what it enunciates. and might as
well have been written the day the
committee waited upon him. If we
were given words that we might
Herewith conceal our thoughts, this
letter comes as near saying nothing
as so many words could possibly be
made do.

IuPaled on a Pitchfork.

STEUBENyILLE, August 20. = A
frightful accident happened near
Fernwood, this county, yesterday
evening. William Parish, a farmer,
was engaged in threshing. Coming
down from the hay NOW he slid to
the floor, distance of about eleven
feet, and came in contact with q
pitchfork; one of the tines penetrat-
ed his right hip, and broke off one
half inch from the upper end, leav-
ing about twelve inches in his body.
Drs. Shane and Elliott, of this city,
were called out. and after admins
tering ether made an examination
and found a piece of the tine broken
Oft. All efforts to find the main-
ing piece, about 10 inches, were un-
ayailing. The piece is supposed to
he inside of the bony part of the
pelvis. His condition is critical.

WHEN General Hancock was a
candidate he considered the tariff a
mere elocal ISSUE" and of course of
but little importance, but Judging
from Cleveland's letter of acceptance,
he has evidently never had an opin ,
ion on that question, or thinks that
the people take not the slightest in
terest in it. But the authoritative
statement was made by Professor
Perry, of Williams College, some
time since, that Governor Cleveland
"stood fairly abreast Of Speaker Car
Isle and Chairman Morrison in the
demand that revenue reform be
made the controlling issue of the
campaign" He is therefore a Free
trader, to all intents and purposes,
and as is customary with Democrat
ic candidates, is trying to dodge the
issue.

has rained steadily and hard for
twenty-four hours. Reports from
the West show much damage At
Belfield, 100 miles west, the crops
were entirely destroyed by hail, and
at Little Missouri it is reported that
eleven miles OF railroad tack were
washed out. No hail fell at Bis
marck, but steady fall Of rain.
Harvesting is about finished and will
be damaged but little.
FARGO, Oak, August 20.-An un-
usually heavy shower fell on Monday
and yesterday, and in the afternoon
it poured down in torrents. There
has been no such fall of rain for two
years. 1t will cause delay of the
harvest and may have caused scrloss
damage.

Fatal Quarrel.

WHEELING, August 20.-A special
from Glenyille, Gilmore county, re-

near there yesterday afternoon. Oil
yer P. Cox bad impounded some
hogs belonging to neighbor named
Fisher, and, in accordance with a
provision of the hog law, prepared
estray notices which he instructed
his son. Franz, to post. While do
ing this, Franz was accosted by
Fisher. who proposed to thrash the
young man then and there. Franz
defended himself with ahatchet that
he had been using. He threw it and
it lodged in Fishers left cheek, max
ing horrible CHASTITY wound that
will result fatally. A fend has ex-
listed between the two families for a

OK Tuesday of last week General
Butler gave his address to his con-
stituents" to the press, and he now
has the satisfaction of knowing that
no other man in the country can
command a larger share of public
attention. As lecture on the po-
litical methods of the day it is a
success, and nothing that has ap-
peared in the press for many a day
has elected such varying and antag-
onistic comments. 1t is witty, sar-
castle and egotistical, and merciless-
ly drives the knife into Cleveland
and the free trade plotters and thin
bic riggers who formulated the plat
form of the Democratic convention
at Chicago. After sharply arraigning
the Democratic British" party, es-
pecially in regard to the tariff, it ex-
alts the interests of the laboring
men, charges the Republicans with
being in the interests Of the monop-
olists, and urges the formation of a
peoples party" and declares that
he who votes for third party will
not lose his vote, as before eight
years this proposed new party will
triumph. 1t is breezy document,
entirely too lengthy for our columns,
but impressing US irreslstibly with
the conviction that it will be helpful
to the Republican cause. Summed
up as platform for the new party,
its salient points are, hostility to
monopolies, protection to labor, a
continued greenback currency, wo-
man suffrage, equality of wages for
men and women, and the correction
of government abuses. II is the long
net of an able and cunning dema-
gogue, set to catch the votes of the
laboring men.

4 Fatal Disease.

DEs MONIES, August 20.-Cantreli,
a village of 200 inhabitants in Van
Buren county, is being scourged by
a very fatal disease which is believ-
ed to be very violent type Of gray
or bloody fiux, though some OF the
physicians pronounce it cholera.
The disease comes on with cramps,
succeeded with bloody discharges
and spasms. The deaths are one in
every four attacked. Thirty-two
persons were sick on Monday, and
ten deaths have occurred. Three
died Monday night, two children
and one old lady. The disease has
been increasing for the past two
weeks.
At Wilton, FIVE miles west, one
death had occurred which the ply
siclans ascribe to cholera.

What Judge Lawreace Thinks of
Ohio.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, who is a good
political observer, predicts that the
republican majority in that State
will be at least 10000 in October,
and that Blaine will carry it by
10000 in November. Judge Law
renee allows the Prohibitionists 5000
votes. The Judge thinks that the
defeat of Converse, who was a pro-
nounced protec.ionist on the wool
question, will be worth 5000 votes
to the Republicans, as the refusal to
renom mate Converse will be inter-
preted by the people as indicating
the opposition of the Democrats to
COnverse's tariff course.

which ten persons were killed and

that the number of killed will ag-
gregate 100. A dynamite bomb
was found under the window of the

plosions are feared. A large body Of
soldiers are removing the wrecked
buildings blown up On the 18th,
and the authorities are on the alert
to prevent outrages of a similar
character.

BoLTING is bearing its legitimate
fruit in Huntingdon county. After
vast deal of billing and cooling, the
Stalwart and Independent Republi'
cans agreed upon a satisfactory
county ticket, and everything looked
lovely, but the leaven of kicking has
so leavened the whole lump, that
another bolt is threatened. This is
but the legitimate result of the bolt
of 1882. Bolting was then encour-
aged, the people were taught that it
was praiseworthy, and now a gener-
al looseness of party ties follows the
false doctrine TO the permanent in
Jury of the organization.

the body of his victim, bat the fire
had gone out after the flesh on both
legs had been burned to crisp.

THE New York Sun, the ablest OF
the Democratic journals, is decided
ly against Cleveland, and is anxious
to have him Withdraw and let Thur
man take his place at the head OF
the ticket. II is not probable that
the Democracy will attempt the
dangerous feat of swapping horses
while crossing the stream, but it is
most painfully evident to the lead
ers that the disclosure of Cleve-
lands hagrsnt immortality has, as
usual, placed them in their old-time
position between the devil and the

Woman Horse Thief.

LANCASTER, August 20.-Salome
Whitman enjoys the notoriety of
being the first female ever
convicted in this State of horse
stealing. She is fine looking young
woman, and after the Grand Jury
had returned true bill she made
a clean breast of the theft. Her story
was that she was going home one
night in company with a son Of
Abe Auzzard, the outlaw, and he
told her to steal the team. She did
SO, drove the team to her home sew
eral miles distant, and it was recov-
cred there the morning after the
theft. She was sentenced to-day to
one year and eight months solitary
confinement.
