well satisfied with the outlook.

Chased by DIoodhounds.

SPRINGFIELD, O., July "a man
rushed into Justice Bradford's office
in South Charleston, and shouted
breathlessly. Il want a warrant for
man who has run off with my
wife" He was directed to con-
stable, and, accompanied by the of
ficer, hurried into the country. AT.
ter long journey the truant wife
was found munching crackers and
Bologna with married man named
James Tillman, OF Clifton, o., with
whom she eloped. The pair were
marched off to the City Hall, where
matters were investigated and
strange story developed.
The woman, Ollie Brierlv, married
Lou Briefly at the age of 10. Hel
husband seems to have been want
ing in kindness, for she has been
without shoes and stockings for some
time. Near by lived James Tillman,
married man, and it was not long
before the pair concluded to elope.
After a short courtship they struck
out from Clifton, their home, one
day, and after resting in the woods
all night arrived at South Charles
ton the next day, the fair Ollie still
barefooted.
When Briefly found his wife gone
he engaged the services of Lou Dud-
ley, colored man, and pack OF
bloodhounds. The hounds started
off in full cry and followed the trail
of the fugitives until they were dis
covered as above stated

Not a Ghost. put = Maniac

DAYTON, O., July 9.-The people
in the neighborhood of Milton. a
small place about eighteen miles
north of this place, have for the
past two weeks been terribly exer-
cised over a ghost frequently teen
during that time in the neighbor-
hood. 1t had been seen by different
people and all gave the same de-
scrip,ion of the phantom. Last
night it entered the village, when a
young man named Furnass, arme d
with a gun, pursued the spectre. He
followed il into dense wood, when
ne gained on it, and finally saw il
was woman. He went up to her,
and to the question "Who are your
she answered. Nobody | died this
morning" She said her husband
was dead and in nell. The woman
had nothing on but a light gown,
which was in tatters, while her long,
black hair hung down her back in
matted punches. The woman was
taken prisoner and upon examina'
ton was found to be a rsving mani

confinement at Coyington Her
name is Babalon and she has been
mad for nearly twenty years.

ed, and the population has sudden
ly decreased from 14.000 to 5000
Those that are left feel fated, and
make hardly any attempt to ward
oft disease. Many who are attacked
drop senseless as they are walking
about, and expire before aid can
reach them. More than one-tenth
OF the soldiers in the garrison, in
Guiding six Offices, have died with
in Il week. Half of the remainder
are in the hospital. Every one OF
the Sisters of Mercy sent to nurse
the cholera patients have caught the
plague and are dead.
There are no coifins left in the city
to enclose the dead aud the few
hearses are practically useless. The
bodies of the victims are left by the
roadside, wrapped in blankets, and
are gath cred in the city dust carts,
in which they are taken to the GEM
eterIes and cast into trenches.

A Mob Kills Four Men.

GRENADA, Miss, July S.-A mob
of l50 persons took from the Sheriff
yesterday man named Felix Viii
liams, who had just been sentenced
to prison for life for being concerned
in the murder of two peddlers. The
mob next went to the county Jail
and brought out Perry McChristian.
Both men were taken about a mile
and hanged from the same limb.
They then started for two other men
implicated in the same murder. Will
liams had confessed, stating that
Bartley. James and John Campbell
had assisted in killing the two ped

about ten miles from Grenada, and
hanged him to a tree. They then
went to Campbell's house. Camp
bell fired upon the mob, woundIng
one Oi them, it is reported, and then
made his escape. 1t was rumored
here this afternoon that at dayll ght

THE nomination OF Col. Mathew
S. Quay by the Republican State
Convention last week, was simply
q ratification in form, of the choice
of the Republicans of this State.
Public sentiment pointed SO unmis-
takably to Mr.. Quay's nomination,
ia advance of the Convention, as to
leave the delegates but little else to
do thar register the wishes of their
constituents.
In many years there has been no
such unanimity exhibited in favor
of an aspirant for popular favor,
All of the rival candidates were
gentlemen of great personal worth
with irreproachble public and private
records, but SO great was the esteem
in which Mr.. Quay is held by the
Republican masses, that he receiv'
ed more than three fourths of the
votes of the peoples Representatives
on thefrst ballot. For years Mr.. Quay
has been an acknowledged lead er ir
the Republican party, and although
holding important and prominen,
positions oy appointment, this is his
first appearance as candidate seek
ing public support. His conceded
ability, his great political sagacity
and his high personal character hav,
given him a foremost place in the
ranks OF his party, and with this
''coin of vantage" his nomination
was almost an assured fact from the
moment he entered the canvass. Ir
turning to a candidate of his well
known pronounced views, the Re.
publican party of the State givel
evidence ofitspolitical rehabilitation
and of its intent to move forward a,
of old, regardless of the malcontent.
who have attempted its wreck, be
cause they could not control it. The
characteristics which have made Mr.
Quay strong with his party, will o
course draw upon him the hottest
fire of the enemy, but with a nom
ination so unanimous, and with /,
reunited party at his back, under
his skillful leadership, the resul
cannot for a moment be considered
as doubtful.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-07-15

By THE unanimous nomination oi
Colonel Quay the Philadelphia Press
received stinging and humiliating
rebuke. Under the pretext of a
self-sacrificing devotion to the wei
fare of the Republican party in this
State, that journal waged malicious
warfare against Mr.. Quay from the
date of his announcement as cam
didate. By bluster, by innuendo, by
misrepresentation of his strength
by attempting to revive past divis-
ions and strife in the ranks, it labor.
ed TO compass his defeat. Its utter
lack of influence is shown by the
fact that nearly the entire delegation
from its own city voted for Mr.
Quay, that on first ballot he receiv-
ed the votes of more than three
fourths of the delegates in conven-
ton, and that among his warmest
supporters were many of the former
leading Independents whom it at
tempted to array against him. From
a self-constituted and arrogant lead.
er, the Press has fallen to be q mere
camp follower, the butt of the great
army it vainly fancied it was COM
manding.

er against the second. the Republican
members have properly discharged
their Constitutional duty in the
premises, their action is unequivo-
caily endorsed, and the responsible
iity for the failure of this legislation
rests With the Democratic party.
6. We especially commend the ac-
ton of the Republican Legislature
for the high regard which il mani
tested toward our manufacturing,
mining, farming and general labor
interests, and its patriotic aud sue
eessful efforts TO represent the inter-
est of the grand army of soldiers
which Pennsylvania contributed to
the support OF the General Govern
ment
z. The yearning hearts OF the Re-
publicans OF Pennsylvania go out
with sincere affection for and SIM
pathy with the old hero, General
Grant, in this hour of his sad affiic-
ton. They revere and love him for
the great services he has rendered
his country, and honor him for the
noble, manly fortitude with which
he faces his inevitable fate. Death
may rob US of him; but he will live
forever in the hearts of his country
men

Another Deadly Feud In Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, July "a bad state
of aiiiirs is reported from Greene
county. A Courier journal special
from Greensourg states that near
LittIeton, that county, George Ed
wards and his little son, together
with Henry King and one Dooley,
are barricaded in a barn, armed with
Spencer and Winchester rifles, while
on the outside is besieging party,
composed of several members of the
Dowells family, the Pendleton boys
and others. During sharp shooting
yesterday Tom Dowells got a rifle
ball through his body, which dis
abled and will perhaps kill him,
and one of the Pendletons was shot
through the hand and shoulder.
1t is another case of factions. The
Edwards party have been hemmed
up in the barn for two days without
food or water and the besieging par
ty swear that they will starve them
out and kill them. Dowells' party
received reinforcements to-day and
now numbers about fifteen men.
The officers of the law claim to be
powerless, but citizens are agitating
the question of banding together
and arrestiDg both parties. The sit
uation is reported as most serious

MT. McGREGoR. July S--The
warm, clear weather tempted Gener-
al Grant out Of doon this morning,
and be spent nearly an hour sitting
with Mrs. Graut on the veranda.
Between one and two o'clock the
General again took seat on the pi-
azza. A board was placed across
the arms of the willow chair in
which he sat. and, using this as d
desk, the sick man wrote for a con-
siderable time.
Among the visitors who came up
the mountain at 4:25 this afternoon
was the Rev. Father Edmund Didler
pastor of the Saint Vincent's Church
Baltimore, Md, who unattended
mounted the steps of the cottage ve-
randa where General Grant was sit
ting. Approaching the General the
visitor said: II am Catholic cler-
gyman, General Grant, and then
presented his card.
The General at once indicated a
desire that his visitor should be
seated, and when the clergyman had
seated himself beside the patient the
latter took up his pad and wrote
that he was unable to converse even
in whisper The clergyman then
said: 1--WE are all praying for you,
General Grant, The General, by a
nod, indicated that he had heard
what Was said and continued writing
and the following is his note in full
to the Catholic clergyman:
Il regret very much that | cannot
converse, not even i'll whisper"
I've are all praying for you, Gen
eral, said Father Didier again. The
patient then wrote the following:
Yes, | know, and | feel very CRATE

land for their prayers in my behalf.
There is no sect or religion, as
shown in the Old or the New Testa-
ment, to which this does not apply
Catholics, Protestants and Jews and
all the good people of the nation, of
all politics as well as religion, and
AL nationalities seem to have united
in wishing or PRAYING for my i'm
provement. l am great sufferer
all the time, but the facts | have re-
lated are compensation for much of
it. All that | can do is to pray that
the prayers of all those good people

U. S. GRANT, July s, 1885.
Twenty editors of the Mexican

eral at half-past 6. After they had
paid their respects the patient wrote
as follows, while the entire party
stood in silence:
My great interest in Mexico dates

VIII Lose Their Eyes.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July S.-An
accident of peculiarly horrible ma
ture occurred near Harrison yester-
day. A Blue Line freight train was
derailed aud in a car half filled with
lime were two colored tramps.
When the accident occurred the car
was overturned and the lime thrown
over the tramps. Their screams
betrayed their presence, but it took
an hour to dig them out, by which
time they were fearfully burned, ,and
will lose their eyes if not their lives.
They were brought to the hospital
here.
