CARD.

Although feel very grateful to the
Prohibition Party for the honor they
have conferred upon me by nominating
me for Superintendent of Schools of
Grant County, think it is my duty to
withdraw my name as a candidate for
that position. | believe it to be for the
best interests of education that this
office, with all other educational posi-
tons, should be removed as far as
possible from party politics, and should
be held by educators and not by poll
ticians. MIR. Charles Harper, having
filed the Office of County Superintend-
ent satisfactorily for number of years,
is an educator whose continuance in
Office would be blessing to the schools
of the County.
Hoping that the people of the County
will return him, with large majority.
/ am, respectfully,
ID. d. MAINE.

FRANCES STRENGTH IN CHINA
The English Fleet Not to be Compared
With That of GauI,

PARIS, Sept. 16.-Ld Temps publishes a
letter sent by the Chinese commanders at
Lang-SOu to Col. Dugenne, Commander of
the French forces, dispatched to occupy
that town before the conflict of arms oc-
CURED. In this the Chinese promised to
evacuate the town as soon as they should
receive orders from the Tsung-li-Y Y amen
directing them where to go. They asked
Col. Dugenne to telegraph to the Tsung-
H-Yamen for Instructions.
Admiral Courbet estimated that his
bombardment at the arsenal at Foo Chow
and along Min river did damage of 81, ,000,-
600.
The London Times correspondent at
FoO-ChOw telegraphs that five of the
French vessels have returned to MatsOn.
Great Indignation is felt at TIE death of
the Lieutenant of the Zephir, and the
French are more severely censured
than the Chinese. The public are agi-
tated at the condition of affairs. Meet
ings are being held to urge mediation or a
French march on Pekin. Complications
are occurring daily which are certain to
involve neutral powers. The cOrrespOn-
dent comments on the weakness of the
armament Of the English fleet COM
pared with that of the French
squadron. The French. he says,
can fire eight guns to the English one,
and tbeIr crews number ten to two of the
English. England, he concludes, whose
interests in China are so per cent. of all
the foreign possessions there, is the only
power that is not making preparations to
defend her property in the event of war.
The Foreign Office has written a letter
to the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow,
stating that the British Consul at ohang-
hal has formally advised the Chinese au-
thorities that it would be to the interest
of commerce to reconsider the cOntem-
plated blockading of the river at that

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
The Exposition Mills Shut Down for Re
pairs with Gloomy Prospects.

The Exposition Mills Shut Down for Re-
pairs with Gloomy Prospects.
ATLANTA, Sept. 16.-At late hour last
night a rumOr was in circulation to the
effect that the Exposition cotton mills
had shut down, for what cause the
rumor did not say. Being too late to
reach the fountain head of information
relative to the health of the enterprise the
NEWS correspondent deferred investiga-
tiCn until to-day. This morning the cor
respondent called upon President d. N.
Speer TO find out what truth there was in
the rumOr. "There is this much truth in
it," said President Speer, ''the mill has
shut down for a few days so that
some Of the boilers can be Overhauled.
We are not financially embarrassed
and are all right on that line.
For some time we have been running the
mill without earning a dollar. The de
pre- ssiOn in prices forced us to sell our
products for about what we gave for the
raw material in them. With this state of
affairs to contend with we have kept the
mill running solely with the view of keep
ing the employees together and giving
them work. How long we will continue
this programme l am unable to say. When
we get our boilers in order we will start
up again ana keep gong unLll our STOCK
OfprObably 80 bales OfcOttOn is worked up
into goods. After this there is no telling
what we will do. Our future action will
depend entirely upon the price of cotton
and the outlook" From the conversation,
nearly all of which has been given above,
the opinion is formed that no rush will be
made to hurry up the repairs on the boil
ers, and that at an early day, unless the
future brightens, the Exposition mills
viii take rest until business in their
line improves.

THE BATTLE IN OHIO.

Schurz's Speeches Expected to Have
Great Weight Among the Germans.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Private letters
from the managers of the Democratic
campaign in Ohio, dated Saturday last,
state that their arrangements are so per-
feet that they feel confident that they will
carry the State, and are now simply
working to increase their prospective
majority. The ten speeches which Carl
Schurz is to make in Ohio, are expected
to conduce largely to that end. His in
fiuence with the Germans in Ohio and
Indiana is very great. Republicans and
Democrats alike. admit that he carried
OHIO and Indiana for Hayes
in 1876 almost single handed
against the heaviest odds, changing ma
jOrlties upon which the Democrats counted
confidently from Tilden to Hayes. He has
Il better case now than he had then. If
Ohio goes Democratic in October, the
Democrats expect to carry OHIO. Indiana,
Wisconsin and Michigan in November,
electing Cleveland without regard to New
York. If not, however, they will not lose
the hope of carrying Ohio and Indiana in
November.
Private letters received to-day from
New York state that the additional Null
ligan letters have had a greater effect
against Blaine than the newspapers have
yet ascertained. They have impressed
men who are not likely to be heard Of in
the newspapers, but who will be heard
from on election day, and who had been
halting between two opinions in the alb
sence OF additional proof against Blaine.

A MIDNIGHT CREMATION.
How an Indian Gentleman was Con-
Verted to Ashes.

How an Indian Gentleman was Con-
verted to Ashes.
The body of an Indian gentleman has
been cremated at Etretat, France, in
curious circumstances. BaboO Sahed
ChaJay, a Marableu gentleman, who had
accompanied his son-in-law, Sampatras.
the brother of the Maharajah Gaekwar, of
Baroda, one OF the chief Princes of India,
to Europe, died recently at Etretat of an
abscess in the throat. Permission was
requested of the Mayor to cremate the
body and he Immediately telegraphed to
the authorities for authorization enabling
the Indians to perform their sacred
rites. He aided them in every possible way
to carry out their intentions. The per-
mission having been granted, at midnight
wood was cartied down to the north end
of the beach. behind a jutting pOintin the
cliff hidden from the town, and there
pile OF > or 3 feet in height was carefully
built of logs crossed and recTOssed, with
the ends toward the north and south. The
ceremony of sprinkling the sacred powder
over the body and amounting it was very
simple. The fire was in a small earthen
bowl and was made of sandalwOOd, which
is difficult to obtain in Etretat. But IN
this case a carved box, a souvenir of
India, was presented for the purpose to
the mOurners by an English lady, who
happened TO have it with her. The body
was laid upon the pile, with the head to-
ward the north, and then covered with
more wood saturated with oil. 1t was
now O'Clock, and the funeral pile was
carefully built. The secret of the crema-
tiOn had been well kept, so that not more
than twenty in all were on the
spot to witness it. The Prince
threw the burning incense in the
bowl upon the north end Ofthe pile, which
instantly caught fire, and the Indians,
with raised hands, again repeated, ''Ram,
RAM" Soon the whole mass was wrapped
in a flame that climbed high up the cliff,
brought the spectators out strongly
against the dark backu Ound and lit the
fOamy crest Of the waves. In an
hour the flames began to subside and more
wood was piled on. Gradually the MORN
ing dawned upon the ceremony. The
wind had blown away mOstof the cinders,
and among those remaining only a few
pieces of bone, keeping their form, could
be found, and those crumbled away when
they We're touched. What human ashes
could be distinguished were gathered up,
a part being thrown into the sea and the
rest sealed up to be sent TO India. By 6
O'Clock every vestige Of the cremation
had disaDneared.

Two More Charred COrpses Taken from
the Ruins and Another Death.
EUFAULA, ALA, Sept. 16.-In clearing
away the ruins Of the burned compress
this morning the charred remains OF Mike
Pickett, General Superintendent and a
universally beloved young man, were
found, as were also the remains of Thomas
Virgins (cOIOred), consisting only of his
trunk. This makes five killed whose
bodies have been recovered and identified.
It will not be known how many perished
till all the debris is cleared away, il then,
for little was left of Pickett but ashes.
His watch, silver coin and derringer
revolver, Whica he was known to carry,
were found among his ashes. A pistol
was heard to explode while the fire was
raging. Engineer Oakes was near Pickett
when the explosion occurred and turned
to rescue him. At that moment wall fell
and PiCkett's body was buried beneath the
bri1k and debris, leaving only his head
exposed. Finding his rescue impossible,
he begged the engineer to cut his head off
and relieve him of his sufIerings. The
quickly rushing flames caused the en-
gineer to seek his own safety in flight and
he barely escaped with his life. One
death occurred among the wounded to-
day, that Of Wimbush, the boy who was
rescued alive thirty minutes after the ex-

BY CHOLERA.

Alameda So 900 jersey Bull Killed
on Account of eurO-PneumOnia in
Illinois.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-The Record
tomorrow will say: In every county in
South and West Jersey hog cholera is
now raging, and its spread is sorapid and
the rate of mortality so large that farmers
are greatly exercised about it. 1t is
thought that it first appeared at Pember-
ton, where it is still epidemic, and from
whence it has EXTENDED. In Atlantic
county and along the coast it is especially
severe.
The Superintendent OF Senator Gas
kilPs farm near Pemberton gives it as his
opinion that the disease is not true hog
chOlera, but something more of the nature
OF pleurO-pneumOniai cattle. The hogs
lungs are affected. Many porkers are
dying in the vicinity of Paulsboro,
Gloucester county. The cholera has also
obtained firm fOothold in Warren and
Mercer counties, and will most likely run
through the entire State.

A CANDIDATE ON WHEELS.
An Accomplishments of Miss Belvi
Lockwood as a Tricycle. Rider.

An Accomplishment of Miss Belva
Lockwood as tricycle. Rider.
1t is but natural, says a Washington
special, that the country should wish to
know more of the latest Presidential can
didate, Belva Lockwood, the nominee OF
the Womans Rights party. The candi-
dates lite, written by an impartial hand,
as the only means for completely supply
ing this demand, will doubtless appear at
an early day. Here in Washington no
book of the kind is needed. She is to be
seen almost any day threading the streets
mounted on a tricycle., head erect,
and feet working with an energy
which is Indicative of the secret
of her success in life. She was the
first of her sex to mount the tricycle.
and demonstrate the right of woman to
ride whatever will best suit her purpose.
AS a lawyer, she rides wherever her busi-
ness calls, and she also rides for the pleas
ure it affords, as others do in their car
riages. And how she does rIdel No lag
CARDS pace is hers. Wherever she goes
she is the observed of all observers. She
is not a devotee of fashion in any respect.
She sets her own fashions. With head in
air and face earnestly, not to say fiercely,
pointing in the direction her industrious
feet are piopelliug her, she wnirls along,
every turn of the crank f1ip-fapping her
skirt with unceasing regularity. She
stops at nothing, and turns aside Only to
pass slower gOers or pick a stretch Of
clear track whereOn to display a pace
which might make Maud S. envious.
OF late demand has sprung up for pic
lures of the Woman's Rights candidate.
In preparing to supply this demand the
artist has been at loss how to take her.
Blaine is generally represented as speak
ing in the House or Senate. Cleveland as
standing on the rostTum. Logan as ca
YOrting on his war hOrse-each in a posi-
tion designed to show the man at his best.
Rejecting on these things, the artist was
not long in coming TO the conclusion that
the proper thing was to represent Belva
mounted on a tricycle., familiar sight in
Pennsylvania avenue, where, as any one
will say, she, too, appears at her best. The
pictures, it is understood, will be ready at
an early day. She might have been taken
pleading at the bar; laying down the law
as any man would, and often better than
many men do; giving it tit for tat, after
the custom of the profession; taking
graceful flights of OratOry, as orators
sometimes do, responsive to a suggestion
from the bench; citing precedents and
cases, principles and practice from a
well-stored repository of learning covered
by that well-knOwh bonnet, or appealing
to the jury for justice for her client. But
after due consideration the tricycle. idea
was adopted as not only the most novel,
but the most truly characteristic.
