Campaign Lies.

The public press has a right, and in
deed it is its duty, to discuss the careers
and characters of candidates for office:
but it has no right, and it is an abuse
of its powers, to circulate scandals and
to magnify ordinary incidents for po-
litical purposes. 1t is an unfortunate
feature in American politics that ma
licious personal assaults on candidates
are too frequent, and in connection with
such attacks it is humillating to note
that many respectable journals and in
dividuals, incapable pc haps of origi-
mating such falsehoods, do not hesitate
to circulate them when some meaner
person has given them birth. The most
serious result of this evil is that it grad
.ually educates the people to certain
indifference as to all utterances respect
ing the past acts of candidates, and
leads the II to vote according to polit-
ical proclivities irrespective OF such
matters. 1t has grown into familiar
adage that "a man never knows b m
self until he is nominated for Office,
and personal abuse OF candidates is re-
garded as an expected feature of every
campaign. When Garfield was nomi-
mated for the Presidency, the discredit-
able facts in his Congressional career
were known and demonstrated. The
record had been made up and officially
published by leading members of his

Death Of a centsnarlan.

MOUNT Gn.EAD, o., August 2s.-To-day
will be buried in Bryn Zion Cemetery, east
Of this city, lady who probably had
served out greater allotment of years
than any woman now living within the
State of Ohio. Mrs. Nancy Linn died yes
tsrday morning at the advanced age of
one hundred and four years, having been
bcrn near Baltimore, Nd, in February,
I580 She had been in comparatively good
health during the greater portion of her long
life, and only within the last few months
had her mental faculties been impaired,
and, stranger than all, for thirty-five days
prior to her decease not q morsel of food 1r
q drop of water passed her lips. She
seemed to gradually sink into deep sleep,
which at length terminated in death. She
was the mother of FIVE children, the oldest
one now living having attained the ripe old
age of seventy>six years. "Old Aunt
Nancy,n as she was known all over Cen
tral Ohio, was in early years endowed with
Q remarkably strong mind and intellect,
and an excsllent memory for notable
events which transpired in her youth.

SHANGHAI, August 30.-All the French

Admiral Courbet left Min River with the
intention of going to Canton. Chinese mil

HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.


DENVER, COL, August 29.-The burning
of circus car nine miles north of Greeley,
was attended with indescribable horrors.
The burned car was next to the engine in
train of seventeen cars, containing Orton's
Anglo>American circus. The train was
nearing Windsor; small station neai
Greeley, running about twenty-five miles
an hour, when Engineer Collepriest dis
covered the car on fire. reversed the engine,
threw open the whistle valve. There were
sixty men in the car arranged in three
tiers of berths on either side. The forward
side-door was closed, and men in hunks
sleeping against it. The rear side-door was
also closed, and the men who awoke dis.
covered the lower unoccupied berths next
to it containing rubbish on fire, filling the
car with smoke, cutting Off escape in
that direction. The only means of egress
was through small window
between the car and engine. 1t is impos-
sible to get complete list of the dead,
as many were engaged but day or two,
whose names are unknown, but eight dead
bodies have SO far been recovered. Seven
sufferers lie in the Hospital in Denver,
some of whom will die. Anumber of the
rescued agree that in the car were two BAR
rels of gasoline, which were exploded
either by sparks from The engine or from a
naked torch with which the men are accus-
toned to light themselves to bed.

$3.50 this morning terrific tornado, accom-
paniedsby rain and hail, struck this city,
coming from the west, and continued with
unabated fury for an hour. Water descend

streets were flooded. Fhe most widespread
destruction took place. When the storm

was seen, it presented terrible sight.

The scene on the river was awe-inspiring.
The waves lashed themselves into unspeak-
able fury, and dashed twenty and thirty
feet high. Small steamers and tugs were
broken from their moorings and grounded
or blown up the river to the sand bar, where
they went hard aground. The Louisville
and Nashville transfer barge, with six
cars, was blown from the railway dock
and went hard aground on the bar, two
miles from where it started. The steam
ers Josh V. Throop and Silverthorn were
caught by the wind, the chimneys blown
overheard, and the boats otherwise badly
riddled. The James Blackman was blown
out in the river and swamped. But the
most horrible and saddest news of all is the
sinking of the transfer steamer Belmont
and sixteen passengers who were on ooard3
The Belmont left here at 1880 this morning
with the south>bound train on barge.
About eight miles below here the storm
came up, and, part of the passengers, hor-
row-stricked, fed from the cars to the
steamerfor safety. The barge was torn from
the steamer and driven in shore hard
and capsized it, the boat going down BOT
tom upwards. The pilot, cook and engi-
neer jumped on the barge as the steamer
went down. All others were in the cabin,
and unable to escape. The only officer of
the boat lost was John II. Smith, the cap
tain. Those lost are as follows: Mrs. M.
s. Lyon and two daughters Mrs.
Sallie' Bryan and Miss Laura Lyon,
Mr.. E. G. Roach and son, of this city; Mrs.
Woodville, of Henderson; Mrs Addie MUIR

ored women and an old gentleman and
wife, names unknown. Three bodies have
so far been recovered. They are Mrs.

an attack of armed strikers, variously
estimated at from seventy-five to one

quite a number were shot on the other
side, but impossible to ascertain names.
Until recently Snake Hollow has been
guarded by thirty-ive Pinkerton guards.
A few days ago they were transferred to
other points and replaced by guards from
Logan and that neigbborhood, twenty y-two
in number, armed with breech-loading shot
guns and brace of revolvers apiece. At
the time of the attack but seven guards
were on duty. They gave the alarm and
opened fire. The rest of the guards rallied,
and for ten minutes q continuous fire was
kept up. More than one thousand shots
were exchanged and. the strikers at last
driven back. William O'Harra, OF
Logan, an old veteran of the late
war, was doing guard duty at the
time. The strikers no doubt knew his po>

men, have mercy" and was instantly shot
dead. more than forty buck-shot entering
his body, literally tearing away his
shoulder. He was an Industrious man,

He leaves a wife. Jacob Lift, ex-police
officer, of Logan, was shot through the calf
of the leg by buck-shot, not
considered dangerous. Adam Baurer,
a German and unmarried, aged
about twenty-five. was shot in the

the others escaped.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 31.-MIDNIGHT.
Sheriff McCarty of Hooking County, has
inst sent a telegram asking for troops.
The Governor arrived at midnight. The
Columbus Battalion of the Fourteenth Reg.
ment has been called to headquarters, aud
will leave on special train for the mining
district as soon as a train can be put in
readiness. Continued firing is reported at
Longstreth, and communication by teles
graph with that point has been
cut off for the past hour. At
half-past one o'clock Sheriff McCarty,
of Hooking County, telegraphed from
Logan that he has five points in his county
where the riot is beyond control, and is
unable to get at them so as to give definite
information as to what is being done. The
Governor replied that $50 troops were on
the way, and more were under marching
orders if needed. Owing TO lack of COM
munication advices directly from points OF

MUsKEGnN, MICH, August 31.-The crew
of the wrecked schooner Brigham arrived
here on board the schooner Walter Smith,
which picked them up in mid-lake Thursday
forenoon. They are four in number, J as. Leary
Captain; Patrick Powers, Richard Bird
and Edward Atkinson. The Brigham left
Muskegon Saturday, the 23d inst, with
cargo Of lumber for Chicago. Sunday eve
ming a violent squall struck her, and she
nearly swannped. The men stood at the
pumps all night, but the storm increased.
Monday forenoon the Brigham capsized, and
shortly after careened bottom up. All day
the men fioated about on temporary raft.
Seas swept over them, and their suff .rings
can not be told. Tuesday passed, one
vessel only being seen, the attention of
which they failed to attract. The situation
was unchanged until Thursday morning,
when they were rescued by the Walter

LONDON, August 30.-The Government has
ordered 100000 pounds more of Chicago
compressed beef for the Soudan expedi>
tion. Four transports at Woolwich and
two at Liverpool are loading stores and
munitions Of war for Egypt. The trans
port Poonah takes 75O troops to Egypt.
Certain particulars with reference to the
relief expedition up the Nile have been
6naily arranged. The force which
will proceed south of Assouan
viii be composed of 5000 British
troops, 500 Egyptians, and q fotilla of
950 river boats. The boats will be manned
by 600 Canadians, 800 Kroomen and about
1000 Egyptian and Nubian boatmen. The
cost of the campaign Is estimated at
&,000,0 900. 1t is reported that General Lord
Wolseley, before accepting chief command
of the expedition, insisted upon being
granted carte blanche as to strength and
equipment of forces. The total number of
British troops in Egypt at the present mos
ment is 10,12S, of whom COL are on the
sick list. When all the reinforcements
destined for Egypt reach there, the total
number will be $4,000. The exact compo-
sition of the force which will take part in
she yexpedition to Khartoum will not be
decided upon until General Wolselev
reaches Egypt. General orders are already
given, however. to eliminate from the
troops all men whose ply renders it
likely that they would be unable to endure
the privations to which the expedition will,
no doubt, be exposed. Several special cor
respondents leave London for Egypt to-
night.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Republican newspapers have
columns about the Morey letter. which
10 dead issue, and not word about
Blaine's official record, which is as
thoroughly alive as If it were in its very
prime.
The slush that General Logan is
ladling out to the public Is enough to
make angels weep. It will be mercyif
there is not another earthquake as re-
suit of it that will take us all out of an
outraged world together.-M r Graphic
The Boston Herald has it ON the
best authority that fifty of the leading
men of Portsmouth, N. H, who are
Republicans will vote for Cleveland. It
will not be strange if New HampshIre's
ele toral vote goes to the Democratic
candidates.
The New York Star intimates-
that the report that Tammany will
covertly aid Blaine or Butler, while os-
tensibly supporting Cleveland, is an
absurd, malicious falsehood. 1t looks
as though John Kelly's braves will fall
into line, after all. They have made mp
their minds that they can not afford to
commit political hari-kari. - Chicago
