Knocked Down in the Pulpit.

A decided sensation was created in Winterstown n,
Pennsylvania Sunday, by J. 81. P. Fulton, we'll
known resident of the village. Rev. j. T. Shultz,
of Shrewsbury, pastor of tho circuit embracing
Winterstown Evangelical Church, some time ago
announced that Sunday he would preach Grant
memorial sermon. Fulton gave notice that such
sermon should not be preached in that church.
But little attention was paid to his threat and on
Sunday Rev Mr.. Shultz announced his text and
proceeded with his sermon, enumerating great
men OF ancient and modern times. Fulton sat
quietly until General Grants name was mention
Cd when he spraug to his feet, brandishing his
arms and cried to the minister, "Stop that! The
preacher continued his discourse and Fulton ad-
Vanced up the aisle. Great confusion prevailed,
which reached crisis when the angry member
sprang into the pulpit and violently assaulted the
minister, knocking him down. A rush was made
by the congregation to defend the pastor. and in
the melee one man received blow from Fulton's
6st and another had his clothing badly torn.
Order was finally restored and the sermon finish.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.

four long wears I followed the fortunes of
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in the field My grand
father was an officer in the War of the Revo-
luton, my father fought in the war OF 1917,
and was on the Southern side.
My principal reason for supporting Lee is
that I like him and don't like his oppo.
nent. I'm against Malone and his party.
If Malone had been an ignorant man l
could have believed he was honest in dis
covering, after being democrat all his life,
that the republican party was right. But
Malone is not an ignorant man and his
political conversion is not honest. Lee IS
an honest man, a patriot and a Virginian.
He's not much of a politician, I think. l
don't believe he's even much of a farmer.
but he's frst-class cavalry officer. | would
rather follow him on the battlefield than
any other officer in either of the opposing
armies of the civil war. He is good,
patriotic citizen of Virginia, honestly in
terested in his own State, and be can be
trusted. Besides, he is in accord with Cleve-
lands administration, which deserves the
support of every good American citizen, for
Cleveland is trying hard to deal fairly with
all.
''The Democratic candidate will get more
| colored votes than ever before or since the
war. The colored people are beginning to
learn that the democratic party has no de-
sire to treat them unfairly, and the repub.
| lcans will no longer monopolize the colored
| vote.
II voted for Cameron at the last contest
for Governor, for as long as the State debt
question was in dispute the Malone party
had some excuse for their existence, al.
though never believed in them, and as a
republican was not in favor of repudia-
ton. l wanted the State to acknowledge
her just debts and pay every cent. That's
republican principle. But that is settled,
and no honest republican who knows any
thing can vote for Malone or his political
associates. In 1880 ran as republican
against both the Mahoneite and the demo-
crat for Congress in the district now repre-
sented by Hon. John S. Barbour. Malone
is going to be extinguished in Virginia this
time. There will bea large turning ever of
both white republican and colored votes in
favor of Lee this fall"

THE GRANGE EXHIBITION.

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE
FALLS CHURCH, August 31.-But short
time remains before the Grange exhibition
opens at Falls Church. am now conyinc,
ed, if the weather is good, that the attend
ance will be quite large and the exhibit
creditable. The people of Fairfax, Loudoun
Frederick, Prince William and Spotsylva-
MIA are taking lively interest in the mat
ter, and in spite of the hard times, the
drought, the newness of the enterprise, the
exhibit of stock, poultry, hogs, horses, farm
produce, household and handiWork will be
very creditable.
The machinery and merchandise exhibits
very good. Exhibitors will be present from
New York, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Alexandria and Fredericksburg A
number of them will have their own tents,
a few will erect permanent buildings for
their exhibits. The Grange will erect q
main building, an agricultural exhibition
building and ladies' exhibition building,
also an eating house lit was intended to
erect three, but the purchase of the privl
eye requested that one large building be put
up), a dairy and several smaller buildings,
and stables, sheds and pens for the cattle
and coops for the poultry. The citizens of
Falls Church will erect six buildings. Alto.
gether from twelve to fifteen buildings will
be put up.
Water will be forced from the fine stream
at the foot of the hill to the
top by hydraulic ram. A large dancing
pavilion will be erected, and a string band
will supply music for the dancers day and
night. The grounds will be lighted up at
night with patent torches, street lamps and
Chinese lanterns.
The tournament on Wednesday is to be a
popular feature, and the list Of knights is
rapidly filling up. A number of innocent
amusements will add to the pleasure of Wis.
itors, and as the whole country is alive to
the Importance Of the meeting, all of the
leading farmers for fifty miles around will
be present, and many from longer dis
lance.
The tenting out feature will be very at
tractive, and if the weather is good pleas
ant and profitable week is anticipated.
Again would urge the business mep of
Alexandria to be represented in force at the
meeting. They should seize hold of the OPP
poytunity offered them to advertise their
wares and advantages, and make the most
of it. ALEX. ]. WEDDERBURN, Sect'y.
