THE CAMPAIGN.

The democratic executive committee will
meet in Richmond to. morrow. Mr. Barbour,
chairman of the committee, is confident of
the success Of the State and legislative
tickets. He is greatly pleased with the
generous reception rendered Gen. Lee all
over the State He thinks such ovations
speak well for the strength of the ticket
Mr. Barbour, however, thinks that close,
systematic work in all the districts CT the
State is equally important to insure success.
General Malone has money, and is using
it literally in the doubtful districts. Sen
ator Edmunds, of Halifax, represents that
Malone is making desperate effort to
carry that county. Although the negroes
are largely in the majority, the democrats
have carried the county for several years.
Of some of the colored democratic workers
close. 1t is expected that the democrats
will carry every county in the Ninth Con-
gressional district except Tazewell and
possibly Lee, and they expect to make gains
in the Eighth district, which has always
given large majority.
Two miles from Bland Court House Sat-
men and so ladies, with bands and banners,
met and escorted General Fitz Lee to the
town, where he addressed the largest crowd
ever assembled at a political meeting in

Senator Hoar presented Congressman
elect Brady, prominent member of Ma
homes party, to number of wealthy repub
licans in Boston On Saturday. He was
placed in charge Of the State candidate for
Treasurer. a member of the State CON-
mittee says Brady is in Boston for financial
help. He calls the Virginia situation criti-
Cal and intimates that more Northern money
and less bloody shirt would be good for bis
friends down in the Old Dominion. He
told men with whom he talked that the
democrats were way ahead in the fight at
this stage, and that nothing but generous
contributions from the outside would give
the republicans a show of saving the State.
Il is understood further that the scheme of
the Virginia repudiationists is to put piles
of money during the last week into the cit
les and towns where there is thought to be
large numbers CT colored people and poor
whites with 81 natural disinclination to vote
for nothing. 1t was represented that thou.
sands of voters are banded together with
the expectation Of being bought. Brady
pictured the crushing effect on the Admin
istration and the democrats generally of
republican victory in Virginia, and the
probability of Senator Mahones being ne.
cessary to continue the party power in tho
United States Senate after 1887. 1t is not
now known what Mr.. Beard was able 10
promise him, but it is said that very little

though Senator Hoar5 patronage undoubt-
eddy gave him respectful hearing.

DEATH FoREToLD BY DIEAM.-Those who
believe that dreams often forctel death aud other
calamities have here circumstance that will
strengthen their belief, and those who are skepti-
cal on that subject will find something nexplain-
able and mysterious something that cannot con-
sstently be attributed to mere accident. Mrs.
Katherine Kessler, the wife of Philip Kcssler, a
German citizen living four miles from Fayettes-
vile, Penn, the other night dreamed that her
aged father, named Mathes >Nerk, who resided at
New Castle lows, had died: that she had been
with him in his last sickness, was present when
he expired and had seen the stamp of death on his
features.
When she awoke she felt greatly troubled, and
the more she thought about the matter the strong
or the impression grew on her mind that the
vivid scenes in her dream had foretold the death
of her parent. The time passed and she received
no news until q week after, when she told her
husband that be must go to town that she know
they would get letter. He came-walkcd in
through the ran-and when he called at the post
office he received two letters from his wifes BROTH
err VIM. Nerk, of New Castle. Tho first that he
opened stated that their father had just taken
suddenly and dangerous i'll, and also stated that
the night before the old man had dreamed that he
had seen his daughter, Mrs. Kessler, weeping.
The other letter, written day or two afterward
his death.

ST. PETER, Mimi, Oct. 12.-There is con.
siderable excitement in Belgrade, this coun-
ty, in settlement of Swedes, over case
of what they believe is witchcraft. A
woman has been sick for three years and
accuses her aunt Of being witch and caus-
ing her sickness. The Swedish church has
held trial and witnesses solemnly testify
to belief in witches, and stated what they
had seen in this particular case. The state
ment was made by one woman that she was
posted in witchcraft, and had seen witches
send the craft of through the air, and seen
it strike persons, who were soon after taken
sick. What will tie Gone with The alleged
witch has not been determined.

GENERAL MALONE, though he neither
voted for nor tried to pair on the Blair ed
vocational bill, though the most strenuous op'
moments of that bill in the House, as IN the
sana,e. were found among the republicans
and though the crowded state OF the HOUSE
calendar was the only obstacle that pre-
vented the passage of the bill, says its de-
feat was due to the opposition OF the "soutn'
ern Bourbons.' But, among the ultra North.

as the one referred to is the Chicago Dun

for eight hours work. Under the present
democratic administration they have TO
work only eight hours, but they are paid

Triple TRAGEDY.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct 12.-News has just
reached here of terrible triple tragedy in
a lonely and unfrequented portion of Frank
lin township. Saturday night Valentine
PGefer, young German farmer and man
named Mcdonald went to the cabin Of
Zacharias Wright, occupied by Wright and
his wife, daughter and two sons. The two
began beating on the door and calling Mrs.
Wright and her daughter vile names. Fail
ing 10 break down the door, Mcdonald
went to the rear of the house and attempted
to enter through window. When half way
he was caught and stabbed in The neck by
one of The Wright brothers, the cut reaching
from the right ear to the jugluar vein. This
was followed by second stab in the breast,
when Mcdonald fell back lileless. When
PGefer saw the bloody body of his comrade,
he drew his revolver and began firing into
the house The second shot struck Adam
Wright in the breast, and the third in the
face. The fourth shot struck his brother
Solomon, who had sprung to catch Adam, in
the left side. PHefer then disappeared, and
has not been seen since The remainder of
the Wright family quickly summoned doc
tors, who pronounced both the brothers in
juries as fatal. The tragedy grew out OF a
quarrel at former meeting, when Pfefer
had been roughly handled by the Wright
boys, after insulting their sister,

ACCORDING TO the Northern republican
press-the fair reflex Of the vast majority OF
Northern republican politcians-the white
labor of the North should not be brought
into competition with Chinese labor. But
the same press advises the white labor of
the South not only to submit to competition
with negro labor, but to make common
cause with it against Southern capital.
WHY the difference, except that it hates the
South aud every thing in it-even the COL
ored people, if they vote the democratic
tickets what no one but Northern re-
publicsn politician can tell.
