well-known evangelist, will begin
series of meetings at Sharon church,
Bennettstown. Rev. Eichleberger,
who will do most of the preaching,
is said to be very effective speaker

productive of much good in this vi
cinity.
With an apology for the sudden
change from religious to secular
matters, Camille would report a well

AS Mr.. Jas.B. Radford was, one day
last week, going from his home to
Howell, he had the misfortune to
lose his pocket book containing twen-
ty dollars. Diligent search was in
stituted but the missing purse was
not found and Mr.. Radford thinks it
was picked up by negro boy who
passed down the road soon after him
self.
On last Saturday two belligerent
darkies in Garrettsburg, became en-
gagged in fist fight and one, Warren
Vandyke, was severely bruised about
the face and body. These fights,
usually consequent upon an indul-
gence in too liberal draughts of spir-
its are unmitigated nuisances and the
iron hand of law should be laid heav-
lily upon such offenders. Let the
majesty of the law be vindicated
and these petty quarrels suppressed.
The protracted spell of dry weather

The coffin for Gen. Grant was
manufactured by the Stein Manu-
featuring Co., of Rochester and was
completed last Sunday. The public
was allowed TO view it before it was
shipped, and it is estimated that
10000 people looked upon it. The
scene was at times very touching.
The eyes Of many soldiers were be-
dimmed with tears as they saw the
coffin which was to contain the re-
mains of their old commander. The
coffin is known 10 the trade as the
"Style E. State caskct, cloth covered
metallic Ii is six feet long, banded
with solid silver frames and portals
The metallic part, which isinside the
red cedar covered shell, is of highly
polished copper one-eight of an inch
thick. The top is of French plate
beveled glass, opened full length.
The inside of the coffin is lined with
light cream satin, beautifully tufted
with an elegant pillow, OIL which in
raised letters on an embroidered rib
bon, are the initials "U. S. g." The
handles are of solid silver, specially
designed for the coffin. The outside
box is of Imported cedar, highly pol
ished and decorated with handsome
mOuntings, and is lined heavily with
lead. The cedar portion is covered
with deep purple plush. The coffin
is perfectly air tight and practically
indestructible.
An attempt was made on the night
of the 26th to rob the American eX-
press car attached to the Chicago
train on tue Omaha road, which left
Minneapolis at noon Friday in charge
of Major Pierce, the messenger. AT
Black River Falls large black box
was loaded OH board. In some way
Pierce was led TO suspect that the
box contained human freight. lie
piled boxes and bundles upon it, and
photographed to Elroy for posse. Al
that place six men boarded the car
and proceeded TO smash the box with
an AK. AT the second blow an OPEN
ing was made, through which mans
knee appeared. a loaded revolver
was thrust in and the question asked
"Are you armed 2" There was no an
swer, and the question was repeated,
with threat to shoot. At this
sullen eyes" was the response. GLAND
out your weapons" was demanded,
and two revolvers were passed out
the slit. The box was then broken
open and man released, attircd only
in his underclothes. lie was appar-
emily thirty-eight years old, and had
sandy mustache. lie was escorted
to the lookup and chained to the
wall. Subsequently developments
showed that the box came from Eu
Glare on Wednesday to Black River
Falls, where it was called for by the
man so cleverly captured. The box
was taken to his room at the hotel.
Shortly before the train arrived he
told the hotel people TO put his box
OH the train. lie then went to his
room, undressed, and got in the box
and fastened the lid. lie had also
with him besides the revolver, a billy,
bottle of acid and a bottle of chic
reform. Two supposed confederates
were also arrested on the train.

Why was it that Beverley Kelly,
COL, was elected coroner in 1882 by
only 81 votes? Because he was a
colored man. Why was he not de-
teated like Wyatt Watt? Simply be-
cause the white Republicans in the
northern districts thought he was a
white man and voted for him till
dinner, not knowing he was "nig-
ger?" 1t is fact that numbers of
them tried to have their votes chang
ed when they found it out. Then
why should Kelly or his friends vote

in her right to use the name as her
