The NeIt Presidency.

Washington Correspondent Philadelphia
Press (Rep)
Gen. Logan is steadily growing
in public estimation. He is march
ing right along discharging his
duties in a manner that constantly
gains him friends. ] see by the
newspapers that some persons are
trying to create the impression that
there is lack of cordiality between
him and Mr.. Blaine. This is abso-
lutely untrue. Gen. Logan and Mr..
Blaine are warm personal friends
and the two men stand closer to
each other than the mischief max
ers who, protesting friendship to
both, are vainly striving to put
them asunder. Gen. Logan would
undoubtedly be glad to receive the
nomination, but he has the wisdom
to see that the convention will
make its choice solely upon the
judgement of the majority as to the
most available man. Mr.. Blaine is
of the same way of thinking, |
have no doubt, and whoever is
nominated will be cordially sup
ported by both these distinguished
Republicans.

A Terrible Crime.

News of a most heartless and
barbarOus crime has been received
from RObinsOn's Fork, Doddridge
county, w. Va. Thomas True and
his wife, it seems, had some family
trouble which enraged and embit-
tered True against his wife to such
an extent that he drove her from
his house in the most brutal man
ner and swOre he wOnld kill the
man that should keep her over
night. The homeless women went
to the house of Robert Miller, a
farmer, not far distant and begged
for shelter. Mr.. Miller took her in
and the woman stayed all night.
The brutal husband hearing Of this
went to the field where Miller was
at work, armed with shotgun.
True deliberately fired at Miller,
placing twenty.three slugs in his
breast, killing him instantly. True
fled anc is still at large. The most
intense excitement prevailed after
the affair became known, and the
neiqhbors Immediately formed a
posse and scattered in search of the
heartless murderer. If he is caught
there is not the least doubt that
the indi .nant people will lynch
him.-Shcpherdsto,cn Register.

flames spread with almost incredi-
bile rapidity, and the entire fire de-
partment was called out, but a
brisk wind carried the fire to the
adjoining buildings, and they were
badly damaged before the water
could exert its influence. The total
loss cannot be less than 100000,
and the insurance is mostly in out
oftown companies. The origin of
the fire is unknown.

The Louisiana sugar planters are
on the war.path, and Free Trade
Democrats, in and ont of Congress,
are given fair notice that the Demo
cratic party has either to drop Free

it doubtful whether the party will
be longer trusted even with the
most earnest promises to reform.

There is a great denl more sociability in
the English public house than in the Ameri-
can sample room. In the lanes and side
streets of the fashionable part of London may
be found the same character of old-fashioned

regular customers, and its " snuggery" in tho
evening is generally full of its patrons who

and "gontlemen's gentlemen otherwise

just as frequently now as they did
in days gone by. The railroad and telegraph
have had wonderfully little effect in some OF

a Swan Republican concerning the out

1T is dark. and the clouds are thicken-

ago our side nominated Alex Swan for

that he was defeated by treachery in cur

spises tricksters. and, knowing thut they
could not use him, this class bolted and

A Saco man who was addicted to strong
drink had worn his wife's patience entirely
out, and the much abused woman finally de
cided to apply for a divorce. Her husband,
who could but acquiesce in the justice of the
decision, and perhaps wishing to begin his
career as n single man with a reputation for
amiability hired a team to carry her to Alfred
and hunted up n friend to give tho needed
testimony to his bad character as n husband.
The divorce was decreed and with n bill in
her pocket the lady came down the stairs to
meet her ex-husband, who had waited ON the
doorstep so as to improve the first opportu-
nifty to try To again pop the question. So
much devotion won the lady's heart, and she
at once agreed to the proposal to try IL
again. All this happened half a dozen years
