There was no lack of enthusiasm about the
Republican meeting in the Brooklyn Rink last
evening. 1t opens the campaign in sig
nifcant way, and leaves 10 doubt that excel

The trouble in which A. s. Warner, promi-
nent Democratic politician in the western part
OF the State, has involved the First National
Bank at Albion is about widespread as it
well could be. Il takes in not only the bank
and Warmers own private affairs but also the
Burrows estate. of which he was one Of four
executors. As was naturally to he expected, it
appears that Warner has been Specializing In
Wall Street. The only singular feature in the
whole matter Is that tho missing president has
gone of taking the combination of the safe
with him. WHY he should have done that Is
hard 10 tell. The safe is probably empty.

old colored man proceeded to get
1t tor him. when the white man,
who was under the influence of
liquor. noticed another colorea
man, preacher by the name of
Hyams sitting in the corner of the
room, and asked him to come ont

to do so. when the white drew a
pistol and shot him, the ball enter

ing nearly through. It was ex-
tracted the next morning by DR..
