BALTIMORE, Aug 30-The circuit court
here has annulled the marriage of Leonard
T. Caughy and c. Nellie Neal This matri-
monial affair has been the cause of great
concern in high society here in which circle
the Caughy family moves. On July last the
parties were married. Miss Neal says she was
out enjoying herself with Mr.. Caughy, and as
to what passed during the latter portion OF
her company with him, she has not the slight
est recollection The next morning she found
her marriage certificate in her pocket, and
didn't know where it came from Mr..
Caughy, whose mind has long been affected
is now in an insane asylum under treatment,
and remembers nothing, and, if he did, was
not responsible for his acts The suit was
instituted by the young mans father. The
decree was given, as both parties at tn. time
were in no condition TO make contract
The affair has created quite a stir.

CARRow CANNON HOUSE,

NV Dear Mr.. Gallagher-For the last
month | was engaged in almost q life and
death struggle against the enemy. For
the last five years have been almost sim
glehanded fighting the worst landlords
ever in Donegal-the landlords of this
union. No coercion act would reach me,
but at last they resorted to new plan to
drive me out of the country if possible.
They brought an action for libel against
me, laid its venue in Derry, selected
twelve Orangemen to try the case, and of
course the result was not for moment
doubtful. The judge who tried the case
declared that | had libelled the govern
ment, and of course must be punished.
The jury retired, and in two minutes
brought in a verdict against me for t100
and cost, which will amount to about
G400 Thus they think they have silenc-
ed me in future But am not through
with them yet. Enough on this subject
as you will probably see letter from me
in the Irish American papers in Il few
days.

Republican and Get. But tell me. is u
possible that any number of our country
men will vote the black Republican tick

face of the treatment received, by Irish
Americans abroad during Blaine's admin

on the subject, but, in the meantime you

LISTEN to the Indian story, told unto a
new Longfellow: Beyond the mighty
Mississippi, where the sun does all his
setting, in the land about Nebraska; there
they tell a brand new story, while lie
ears of corn are roasting and the braves
are sampling bug juice. IT'S the tale of
old Chief Nooga, of the mighty Sioux a
warrior, whose great soul sighed for ad
venture in the side shows Of the pale face
far beyond the ocean briny Gathered he
his Sunday blanket the same he used to
wear at pow-wow, sort of political
caucus, called he then on Mrs. Nooga,
hollered then he for his daughter, greas-
lest she of all the Sioux. And they Jour-
neyed DER the water, journeyed even into
Europe, saw they there the naughty
Spaniard, beer they drank at bars Tue
tonic, split the gawks wide ope in Hol>
land, howled before the awful Russian.
And for many moons they travelled
making many hundred dollars, but at
Paris Mrs. Nooga spent her dimes
for beaded Jerseys, bought she many a
fancy corset for the trosseau of her daugh>
ter, when perchance she might be welded
to some young buck in Nebraska.
Bought she many gay suspenders, plug
hats, canes, and colored ribbons till she
had as tlne wardrobe as any belle in the
country But the while our old friend
Nooga, with the brandy of the French
man made his stomach quite familiar
quarts he hid in his interior; drunk he
stayed through all the sprlhgtime, while
lower waned the family fortune. Their
said thrifty Mrs Nooga, tightening both o.
her suspenders, ugh, ole man, you come

and drink UNI bug juice, be again an In

and sailed he then for Columbia. Landed
once at Castle Garden, Nooga took an
other bender, got the best of New Yorl

found him at Misthur Riley's counter,
grabbed him by his buckskin pantles,
whacked him one across the scalp lock,
hustled him right out the doorway and
landed him aboard the steam cars. Then
again they journeyed homeward, and old
Nooga took tho Jim jams, took 'em while
the train was running. tried to scalp he
all the brakemen. scared to death the bold
conductor till strategetic Mrs. Nooga
reached out for her club tremendous, and
dubbed her lord into submission; thus it
was she cured the jim jams. Finally
they reached Nebraska, erected there a
handsome tepee, where old Nooga quaffs
mis- bug juice, and eats his dog with hearty
relish, but his spouse's club tremendous,
hangs in corner of the wIgwam, and old
Nooga knows its proves, knows that it
will cure the Jim jams. so he boozes very
lightly. This is then the yarn they're
telling in the land about Nebraska, and
the daughters of the paleface can learn a
profitable wrinkle from the skill of Mrs.
Nooga in her treatment of the Jim jams.

the statement made by him. all he has to
do is to write to certain residents of this

of Negro Raytsher.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 30-A letter from
Refuglo states that last Sunday night
dastardly attempt was made to out
rage the daughter of the county
treasurer, and on the following morn
ing the crime was fixed indisputably
upon one Robert Riley, colored He was
captured by the sheriff and placed in jail and
guard placed on duty, as the community
was intensely excited at the author of the
dastardly crime. The guard was dispersed
by party Of unknown men who, after an
unsuccessful attempt TO break the Jail door
down, threw lighted tJnpentine balls through
the grated window, and shot the miserable
negro literally to pieces
A good deal of bitterness between the ne
groes and whites has grown out of the affair,
and the negroes have been around in squads
since, threatening vengeance. George Halves,
one of the ringleadels, was shot beyond re-
covery in attempting to bully the mob when
they attacked the jail Mr. Sweeney, one of
the guards, and an estimable citizen, was also
seriously wounded in the leg, which it is
thought will have to be amputated Further

closure of its mortgage, is void be-
cause made in disregard of the Hag-

CLEVELAND told his friends that it was
far better to be beaten than to attack the
private character of his opponent In
this, as in other matters, the sentiments
of the democratic nominee are widely
different from those of Mr. Blaine, who,
if he does not personally advise attacks
upon Clevelands private character, at
least tacitly endorses them.
