The supervisor of Rutland was served
with an injunction Monday last to prevent
him from issuing bonds in aid of the
bridge here. The contractor is going on
with the work. 1t looks little like spite
work because Marseilles did not vote Day
ton bridge If the Dayton people and
that part of Rutland near Dayton want a
bridge, this is hardly the way to get it..
There would not have been half the oppo-
sitiOn to the Dayton bridge had not the
people felt that the taxes for the Mar
settles bridge were enough for one year.
The license faction, or, indeed, the whole
board of town trustees, were enjoined from

TO the invaldity of which was satisfactory.
Sunday afternoon last, the 20 pasSen-
ger was behind time owing to fracas at
Joliet John Malone, New York tough,
was put off the train at the depot, and in
revenge he threw stones at the windows of
the coaches Several of the panes of glass
were smashed before he could be arrested.
The patrol was called and the officers had
a terrific struggle before he finally gave up
which he did from sheer exhaustion. Miss
Eta Cooper, of La Sale young lady re-
turning home from Notre Dame University,
where she had been attending school mar
rowly escaped being struck on the head by
one of the stones. Malone was next day
fined 5000 and costs and is now in Jail,
where he is apt to stay.
The Joliet Duty Ne,rS, in the guise of
humor, throws out some sharply pointed
home thruSts at its subscribers, and what is
true of the Joliet subscriber is more than
true of the Ottawa one. That paper says
"Besides raw paper and carrier boys there
is also another tritle: 1t costs $4,000 for a
press of our kind aud something more for
type, and the repairs and interest are a tri-
tle. Then the pressman and feeder both
want little change to keep their families
in confectionery, doughnuts and mission
airy money. The engine wants some coal,
and we are compelled to buy water Of the
Starr business. The press wants ink and
greasing. There are also a few printers
and foreman, the book keeper, taxes, in
surance, rent royal blue and streaked coal
oil, the street sprinkler, and, last of all, the
business manager and the editors, all
greedy fellows, who insist upon eating
costly viands and wearing silver plated
harness. But we are not complaining.
The advertisers and those who have job
printing to be done help pay expenses, but
we sometimes think the subscriber ought
not to teel that he is paying more than his
share"

The County Prohibition convention met
in Cincinnati on Friday and nominated a
full ticket. The platform declares that in
asmuch as the prohibition doctrine had not
been recognized by the Democratic or Re-
publican party this year, it is the sense of
the convention that the purposes of its par
ty are only to be accomplished by placing in
the Legislature men who are friendly to
the Prohibition cause. The resolutions ex-
press the highest confidence in the sincerity
and ability of DIR. A. B. Leonard, the par
ty candidate for Governor, and the disbe-
lief in the aspersions that have been cast
upon him during the campaign.

MORNING, AUGUST q, 1888;
THE CHOLERA.

A Madrid dispatch of Saturday says
The condition of Granada remains pitiable,
and hundreds of people are attacked by the
cholera in the streets nearly every day.
There are no doctors and no authorities to
look after the victims, who often pass
through their agonies in the streets, and ex-
pire unattended in the cutters. Most OF
the unaffected population have fled, and the
few healthy citizens that remain are dis
heartened and apathetic. Corpses remain
uncoffined and unidentified. The very mis-
cry wrought by the plague has become a
nuisance and the Government has resorted
to the desperate expedient of compelling
soldiers and convicts to carry on the work OF
removing from the public ways and inter-
ring the bodies Of unknown dead.
King Alfonzo has donated $4,000 to the
Granada cholera fund. The money was
badly needed at that place. There were re-
ported throughout Spain on Saturday 4,519
new cases of cholera and 1920 deaths from
the disease, as against 4, ,4S3 new cases and
1,441 deaths on Friday.
The cholera is spreading in Marseilles.
Thirty localities are infected and there
were 14O deaths from the disease on Satur-
day.
Several cases OF cholera are also reported
near Nice, Italy.

The Mississippi Democratic Convention
met at Jackson last week and adjourned last
Saturday afternoon, a deadlock having ell
sued over the nomination of Attorney Cen
eral, which was ended on the sixtieth bal
lot by the nomination of T. M. Miller, of
Vicksburg. Governor Lowry was renom-
mated on the first ballot, over Darden, by a
vote of 100 to 42. A full State ticket was
nominated The Convention numbered 6lS
delegates In reference to the present adj
ministration the following resolution was
adopted:
That in the policy of President Cleveland,
so far as disclosed, we see not only nothing
to condemn, but everything to inspire con-
fidence in his wisdom, integrity and states
manship, and we hereby express our un-
qualified endorsement of the same.
The Ohio Democratic Convention which
met in Columbus on Thursday, adjourned
on the same day, after harmonious session.
Governor Hoadly was nominated for re-
election by acclamation. The adminstra-
ton of President Cleveland was endorsed
by the following resolutions:
. Upon the election and inauguration of
the Democratic candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States. These
fortunate events and the wise administra-
ton that has followed have already dis
PEELED the illusion that Democratic success
is inconsistent with the business interests OF
the country or perilous to the rights of free
men. The revival of prosperity and the
increase in value of property have already
begun to demonstrate the benefcence of
Democratic principles, and even before
session of Congress has enabled the country
to realize the full fruition of their applica-
tion by legislation.
We congratulate President Cleveland and
his Cabinet upon the auspicious. beginning
they have made in the necessary reforms OF
government and heartily endorse their ad-
miniStration

STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS.

The State Democratic Convention of Iowa
met at Cedar Rapids on the 10th instant,
and adjourned on the same day. plat
form of principles was adopted endorsing
the national platform, commencing the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland and de-
claring in favor of the repeal of the pro-
hibitory liquor law. The resolution endors-
ing the administration of Cleveland was
received with much enthusiasm. On the
subject of prohibition the resolution is as
follows:
We pledge ourselves to favor and use our
best efforts for the enactment of the license
law of 1880, with power to increase from
$3.50 to 81 900 as may be deemed best for the
public interest in the various localities of
the State as expressed by the constituted au-
thorities of the locality. We pledge our
selves to favor and use our best efforts for
the enactment of law which shall pun
ish as criminal the manufacture and sale OF
all adulterated liquors, such being the dl-
rect cause of intemperance and destructive
to health.
The first formal ballot resulted in the
nomination for Governor Of Hon. Chas. E.
Whiting of Monroe county, a farmer, ex-
Judge and member of the last Senate. Hon.
w. III. Brannon, of Muscatine county, was
nominated for Justice of the Supreme Court.
A spirited debate on fusion resulted in the

THE FAMOUS GAsToN SUIT.-The cele-
brated case of Davenport VS.. Mckee was
concluded in the court at Shelby last Satur-
day evening, and resulted in favor of Nc
Kee, after the jury had completed a few
hours wrangle with one refractory member.
The amount to which Mckee is entitled by
this decision is to be announced by Judge
Shipp, in this city next Saturday. This is
a suit between ex-Sheriff Mckee, of CASTOR,
and Mr.. Davenport, the treasurer of that
county, to recover S1,700, which Mckee
claimed to have paid Davenport in settle
ment, but which. Davenport denied. Nc
Kee produced receipts for the money signed
by Davenport, but the latter held that the
signatures were forgeries. Though we
have not been so informed, we will state
that this case is probably destined to meet
its end in the Supreme Court.-Charlotte
