A CARD

I deem it duty owe to my friends, as we'll as myself, to address card for publication in your paper to one Abner Johnson, who resides near me in Socor- TO county, New Mexico. Itsppears that this man Johnson lost some horses sev- eral months ago, and 1 am credibly in- formed that am accused of stealing or instigating the theft of said horses. Now this man Johnson has been called upon several times to give his authority for such an accusation, which he de- clines to give. 1 pronounce all such statements of Johnson's wilfully and maliciously false; and furthermore, its author is not wOrthyof notice, and were it not for the fact that there are many good citizens, whose minds have been prejudiced by the stories of this man Johnson, 1 would pass them by with contempt. l have been living within l90 miles of where I now reside for the last ten years, and any one can satisfy himself, very easily in regard to nay past record. This vendor of calumny about his neighbors, I challenge to give his own record in Sansabs and Mccullough counties, Texas, and also to tell the pub lie where and how he obtained certain fine red roan mare, which he accuses me of getting away with. to cover up his own iniquity. This man Johnson would do we'll to cleanse himself of the filth clinging to his own garments, before throwing mud upon his neighbors.

Three Acres of Coal AbIaze.

CoNNELLsvILLE. PA, October 81.
The fire at the Standard mine. near
Mount Pleasant. which originated
yesterday afternoon. is still raging,
and is hourly gaining Roadway.
Flames and smoke, driven by a
strong current of air, leap from the
mouth of the shaft TO the height of
one hundred feet above the ground.
All efforts to check the fire haye been
of no avail. A fire engine from Pitts.
burgh arrived tonight, and the work
of flooding the mine will be begun at
once. This will require several
months. 1t is thought that nearly
three acres of coal are now abaze.
The amount of losses cannot be esti-
mated. for the entire plant will have
to suspend operations for several
months, thus throwing six hundred
men out Of employment. The daily
output of the shaft was 500 tons,
and in consequence of its icing idle.
1t will result in the closing down of
five hundred coke ovens, or one
twentieth Of the whole Connellsville
region.

The End of the World Near.

Rev. Musselman, pastor of the Men
monte Brethren in Christ, preached
a sermon in Faith Chapel, at Read
ing, Pa, recently, in which he re-
ferred to the earthquakes and inn
pending wars and gave it as his
opinion that there are plenty of signs
to show that the time is very near
when the Saviour will come in all
His glory, and The dead shall arise
ard the living saints on the earth,
together with those who died in the
Lord, shall meet the Saviour in the
air. Those who are living shall be
changed in the twinkling of an eye.
Some people believe there will he a

Reaching for the Gulf.

There have been frequent intima.
tiOns Of late that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company will at an
early day extend its linesand connec.
tons to far Southern points. These
reports are not confined to Baltimore
but are also prevalent in Philadel-
phia and New York, and there seems
to be a widespread impression that
the Baltimore and Ohio has some
such scheme in contemplation. This
would be a matter of great interest to
the public and one which they wor d
like to be Informed. But they will
never be enlightened through Balti-
more and Ohio channels, at least un.
til the railroad is ready to put its
plans into execution, or indeed has
actually done so.
The Baltimore and Ohio divul ges
nothing. There is nothing then left
but speculation, Why should the
Baltimore and Ohio not be- DESTROYS
of extending its power in that direc-
ton ? The officials are ambitious and
are playing big game. Flushed

and New York, and being rewarded

SATURDAY, NOV. 6. 1886.

With unfeigned pleasure we con-
graduate the people of the Sixth Con-
gressional District upon the decisive
victory they have achieved in elect
ing Hon. Louis E. McComas for a
third term in the Congress of the
United States. The entire machin-
cry of the Democratic party in the
State aided by the Federal Admins
tration was concentrated upon this
district for the purpose of defeating
our candidate. democratic encour-
agenaent, better known as political
Doodle" was used without stint for
the purpose of corrupting our people,
and, if possible, by means of bribery
and corruption to wrest the old Sixth
District from Republican control. In
all their efforts our enemies have been
defeated, and we have triumphed
gloriously.
The Republican majority, it is true,
has been reduced in the district, hut
this may he accounted for in the fact
that the Democratic candidate is a
very clever and popular gentleman,
and had at his disposal great deal
of "sugar" with which great many
voters were made too sweet to be
wholesome.
We congratulate the people of Gar
rett county especially upon the re-
suit. In this connection we desire &c
call their attention to the fact that in
all the districts of the county except
Oakland and Frostburg there were
substantial Republican gains over the
ordinary vote of the party We have
many reasons for rejoicing, not the
least of which is the fact that our
victory has been won, not by corrupt
practices, nor underhand methods,
but by firm adherence to principle
and an inflexible determination to
stand by the right.
The majority in this county is 100.
These figures may be changed slight
ly one way or the other by the official
vote, but we think not materially.
The majority for Mr.. McComas in
this district is about 424
From Ohio, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, and, in fact, all along the
line. we have news of Republican
gains. and a large increase in the
number of Republican Congressman.
The country has endorsed Democratic
rule "over the left shoulder" the
people rejoice and we say amen.
