News and Adveftiser) aa
A briefreport Of the proceedings
of railroad meeting held in Daw-
son on Saturday last is published
elsewhere, to which we invite at
tention.
The people of Dawson are evil
IDENTITY in earnest about getting
more railroad communication with
the outside world. They know, as
almost everybody else must know,
that railroad will, before d great
while, be built between Columbus
and Albany, and they are deter
mined that it shall run through
Dawson, thus placing them in a
direct line of communication with
the West.
Columbus is already moving in
the matter of building aroad from
that city to Albany, and this has
bestired the people of Dawson.
Mr.. G. W. Cheves, editor of the
JOURNAL, Mayor W. b. Cheatham
and Major B. H. Hood, of Dawson,
arrived in this city yesterday af-
ternoon to talk railroad with our
people and enlist their co-opera-
ton in a scheme to take out char
ter at once, and begin grading a
road between Dawson and Albany.
These gentlemen represent the
business men and capitalists of
Dawson, and say they mean
business.
Of course Albany cannot afford
to refuse to take such men by the
hand and join them in their enter
prise, and a meeting of the Albany
Board of Trade has been called at
half past S O'Clock this morning to
take the matter into consideration.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
large meeting OF our business
men, for the subject to be consid-
cred is one of vital Importance to
Albany as well as to Dawson.

The Independents, having defeate,

The Independents, having defeated
Blaine, now assume to be as good Repub-
licans as ever, and have had the impu-
dence in Boston, Brooklyn, and Plainfeld
and other places, to attempt to take part
in Republican caucuses on local issues.
In most instances they have been told
that their room is better than their com
pany. That is right. If an Independent
ever gets chance to betray tho Republi-
can party again it will be the party's
fault. The party is we'll rid of them and
it should stay rid of them. People who
are so virtuous and honest and good, that
they can't abide man whose whole
course of life gives the lie to their charges
of corruption, but who can vote for a man
who is a self-confessed fornicator-suc
men should stay and keep company with
their own kind.

THE MOUNTAIN scouRGE.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 29.-Arthur A.
Loomis, commercial traveller from New
York, was in this city to day, having just
returned from trip through the plague
stricken district of Eastern Kentucky.
Mr.. Loomis said: 81 was four days in
Martin county without making single
sale. The people are absolutely crazy.
They have no use for anything but cof-
fms. A great deal has been printed in
the newspapers about Martin and adjoin-
ing counties, but it has been much less
than all exaggeration of the actual condi-
ton. | know of instances where whole
families have died within a week; where
neighborhoods have been swallowed up
in the grave; where one man has survived
to bury his family and his friends, and
then has been found dead, with no living
creature near him, except, in some cases,
faithful dog. Flocks Of sheep and droves
OF cattle that used to browse on the hill
sides and along the range of the Cumber-
land, are now lying dead and rotten.
White pebbles glsten on the bottom of
the creek beds. Wells and cisterns have
been drained to the bottom, and springs
are no longer to be relied upon for a sup
ply of water. The ground is literally
parched, and where vegetation formerly
bloomed luxuriantly, there is nothing but
decay. Thousands of persons are said to
have died within the past two weeks.

Manner in Which the Democrats Carried



Manner in which the Democrats Carried
Louisiana.
A New Orleans dispatch says: Judge
William Is. Whitaker, who went to Baton
Rouge Cor Governor Kellogg as counsel
in the matter Of the Congressional vote in
the Third district, says "Governor Kel-
logg received nearly 1000 more votes
this year than in 1882. Many of Kellogg's
votes were thrown out by the Commits
sioners of Election this year because they
were placed in wrong boxes or because,
as alleged, they were not printed on wat
erlined paper, although the paper used
was purchased from the Secretary of
State, as the law requires. Yet there is
only about 500 majority claimed against
Kellogg. 10 two Democratic parishes
Lafayette and Calcasien-the returns were
not signed or certified be the clerk of the
court. Upon precisely the same ground
in 1882, the Board of Canvassers, conss
ting OF the Governor, the Secretary of
State, and the Attorney General, threw
out st. Mary and Assumption parishes
and the New Iberia poll, all of which
gave Kellogg large majority In Iberia
parish this year, besides violence practic-
ed, the State Commissioners of Election
did not appear at three large Republican
polls, consequently there was no election
held. BY this action Kellogg also lost
several hundred votes. In Calcasien par
ish at several large Democratic polls the
Commissioners of Election did not swear
to the poll lists or returns, and the names
of all of the commissioners are in tho
same handwriting.

Major-Gen. Gershom Mott, of Borden
town, in company with Col. Chas.
E. Fitting, of Philadelphia, started from
| the Pennsylvania Ferry to walk up CoFt-
| landt street, New York, at 2:10 on Satur-
! day afternoon last He left his home in
| Bordentown in the morning, feeling per.
| fectly well, so he said, On the New York
train, to which city he was going, he
met Colonel Charles E. Etting, of Phila-
delphia. The friends conversed pleasantly
and crossed the North River together. In
going up Cortland street General Mott
suddenly sank 10 the pavement His
companion, greatly alarmed, tried to rem
der the stricken man some assistance, and
was Mortified to find that General Mott
was dead. His body was taken at once
10 the Twenty seventh Precinct Police
Station. Colonel Etting went in search
of some of the dead man S friends, and at
the Office of the Erie Railroad Company.

ton was SO greatly shocked by the unex-
pected news of his friends sudden death
that he was completely unnamed for a
time. Accompanied by Colonels Etting
and Raymond, he went to the station,
where Deputy Coroner Jenkins held an
autopsy, which showed that death had re-
suited from heart disease The body was
taken from the station few moments be-
fore five O'Clock. The conductor of the
five o'clock train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad was telegraphed to hold the train
until the body could be placed on board.
He complied with the request. At the
autopsy Col. Fitting said that he was
frightfully surprised at the sudden death
of General Mott; that he had no reason
to expect anything of the kind, and that
General Mott, up to the moment when he
fell, had shown no evidence of sickness.

"FooLINGn WITH OIL WELLS.

When the oil excitement in Butler
county, Penn, broke out few weeks
ago, two young men from Olean named
Meyer invested 80 900, all the money they
had, in an oil lease. They put down q
well near the Phillips, and it is said to be
the largest oil well in the world. They
refused 100000 cash for their lease, bor-
rowed money, and put down three more
wells. Every one came in dry. The
great gusher' began to decline, and is
now yielding but $50 barrels day In
stead of having $4,000 apiece the men
are now that much in debt.
Near the Meyer and Phillips wells
township school district covers an acre of
ground, which has always been valued at
$500. When oil was struck in the dis
trict the directors refused $50, 900 for the
school property. Since then the surround
ing wells have drained all the oil from
the pool, and the value of the school lot
is once more rated at $500. Farmer Mar
shall, on whose farm oil was discovered,
and who would have taken SO, 900 for it a
week before, was satisfied with an offer
of $3.50, 900 for it when oil was found, and
decided it away at that price.

were appealed to, and by this desperate
method they gained what they call ma
jority for Cleveland. 1t is the burglary of
state, and the thieves propose to be and
offer the stolen goods to the electoral col.
lege, and expect to have them received
and with them to help make Cleveland
President Of the United States. The
frauds have been so plain that the vote
should never be accepted ia the electoral
college.
General Malone, Colonel Brady, and
the other republican leaders made splen-
did fight for Virginia and won a trum-
plant victory at the polls, despite the in
timidation and fraud. The democrats
have stolen the state since the election.
1t remains to be seen whether such ras-
cality can be made successful.

A MIsslNe CAMPAIGN FuND.--A SOM
erville, N. j., despatch to the Philadel-
phia Press says: There is trouble in the
Somerset County Democracy over the
whereabouts of the $1,000 campaign fund
that was put into the canvass here in the
last few days of the campaign for the gen.
eral purpose of helping the whole ticket,
and the particular one of electing the
Democratic candidate for State Senator.
When the returns came in tho Senatorial
candidate ran several hundred behind his
ticket, and was defeated. The State
authorities in the party demanded an ex-
PLANTATION and an accounting for the
money, which, up to date, they have not
obtained. 1t is more than limited that
only small part of IL over got beyond
the pockets of few local leaders.

PHILADELPHIA, DeceInber1
You don't know what we
are doing in furniture. We
know you don't, because you
tell us SO when you walk
through our rooms the first
time.
We are selling more fur
niture than any other house
in town ; a good deal more.
That is of no account, except
because we are new in the
business. We've hardly ever
seen the time when we
could handle furniture as
fast as we could sell it. That's
why we've kept SO quiet
about it.
Our manager says we have
the best collection of furni-
ture in the US. We thought
It a rather strong statement
until we looked about and
considered whom to compare
with. If we were to compare
only the very richest of ware,
there's a house in New York
ahead of us. If we were
thinking only of what is
commonly called cheap
furniture there are plenty
ahead of US. But, thinking Of
a proper assortment for a
trade like ours, a trade that
demands good work of every
grade from "cheap" to the
highest, where is another
such?
Assortment is of some ac-
count in furniture. 1t is easy
to have a large stock, and
still not have exactly what
anybody wants. Our buyer
is everywhere. He knows the
new styles before you see
them. And do you suppose
the largest trade in Phila-
delphia doesn't get its choice
of goods ?
Two or three years ago
we told you that we were
actually making hair mat
tresses out of hair. 1t has
answered our purpose SO
we'll that we have kept on
making them out of hair,
ever since. Some people
imagine that, because a mat
tress is sewed up that it isn't
going to be looked at, and
may as we'll be made out OF
less costlymaterial. Mattress
es we make; furniture we
buy We mean to buy as
well as we make. At any
rate we take the risk.
Look through our furni-
ture, little and big, coarse and
fine. A buyer in Philadelphia
had better not fail to look.
The effects of our fire are
over. Stock is full. And
the furniture is such as you
expect to find where hair
mattresses are made out Of
hair.

There was great deal said during the
late campaign and at its close about ma.
tional campaign funds. The Repnbli-
can National Committee, it now tran
spires, had very little money. 1t was even
In debt at the close of the canvass for
printing and postage, but not $f92. 900,
as the Sun stated, nor the fifth of it. On
the contrary the Democratic National
Committee had, from both regular and
whisky-ring sources, somewhere near half
million of dollars. Mr.. Grace and Mr..
Grant, the candidates for Mayor in New
York, each contributed 100000. Think
of 1t Each must have known their funds
would be used to corrupt voters, not mere
ly to pay ordinary printing and committee
bills. They were, in fact, SO used, and in
New York city. The World tells us this
and adds, as to New York:
The'Judges of the Court of Common
Pleas were assessed $4,000. Congress-
men had to pay according to the close
ness of their districts. Some were as
sessed $50 for each election district, and
there are seventy-seven ia some Congress
sional districts, making an item of SO, $50
which some had to pay to one faction of
their party.
Surely Cleveland is at the head of the
party of Reform,
