timore american
CUMBERLAND, ND, July 2, 1886.
Editor American In your issue of
to-day a letter is published from your
correspondent in this city, in which
the following paragraph occurs. 1.-THE
congressional campaign in the Sixth
district Is beginning to look as if one
of Allegany county's distinguished
citizens would be the nominee this
fall. The friends of George L. Wei
Mngton, of this city, are urging his
claims tor the above honor. Mr..
Wellington, beyond a doubt, will
have Allegany county. and number
of other districts to 60 to the conyen-
ton. Whilst Mr.. McComas has a
number of warm friends in AlIegany
county. they do not favor a third
term"
The above misrepresents the peo-
pie of this county to such an extent
that feel constrained to publicly
contradict it. Mr.. McComas is the
choice of a very large majority of the
Republicans of this county, and will
carry the primaries for denomination
beyond any reasonable doubt. So
far from objecting to a third term,
our people now realize the import
ance Of keeping such man in Con-
Rress. and that their interests have
heretofore been sacrificed by too fire.
quent changes. / feel sure that even
his prospective third term will be far
from ending the useful congressional
career of this exceptionally able rep
reseutative. The blooming" of Mr..
Wellington has been done principally
by the. Democratic organ of this coun-
ty-the IImcs-and proceeds from a
natural desire to have the Republic
cans nominate q weaker candidate
than Mr.. McCOmas.
Very respectfully.
VIM. BRACE.

Representative McComas has pre-
scented petitions from certain citizens
of Frostburg and Hsgerstown, pray
ing for the passage of the following
bills: Repeating timber culture, pre-
emption and desert land acts; for
adjustment of railroad and other land
grants; making presidential and con-
gressional election days legal holt
days; prohibiting aliens from hold
ing land in the United States, and
sundry other measures. Nearly every
member Of the House has been sup
piled with similar petitions, which
have been presented and referred to

Three Different Doctors.

DoNGoLA, UNION Co., ILL, 8, 1873.
Dear Sir IL have been in had
health for three years, suffering with
chills and fevers. and costiveness of
the bowels. I have tried three diff
ferent doctors, and taken quinine,
tonic. pills, and various kinds of
medicines that were recommended
for the above diseases, and found
but little relief until l purchased a
bottle of "ARoMANNA." l have
taken about two small bottles and the
chills have stopped. and my bowels
are in better condition and more reg
ular than they have been during the
past three years. l can say that
"ARoMANNA," is the best medicine
to regulate and put the bowels in ac-
ton of any that ever used in all my
life, and l am tolerably old, being
sixty.five years. IF sufferers similar
~ afflicted knew the great merit of
this remedy it would be'imp0ssible
for you to supply the demand. ]
highly recommend "ARoMANNA"
and hope it will reach the hands OF
all sufferers.

The ceremonies attending the in
vestiture of Archbishop Gibbons. Of
Baltimore, with the red berretta of
the cardinalate at the Cathedral in
that city .on Wednesday of last week,
were of the most imposing character.
The mass was sung by Archbishop
Williams, OF Boston, and the sermon
preached by Archbishop Ryan, OF
Philadelphia. The berretta was pre-
sented by Mgr. Straniero, the Papal
messenger, and conferred by Arch
bishop Kenrick, of st. Louis. There
was a dinner at st. Mary's in the af-
ternoon and a general jubilee at night.
The procession was witnessed by over
10000.

Boycotters Sent to Prison.

F%JEw YORK, July 1.-THE convic-
ted boycotters of Thesis, the proprie-
tor of concert garden, were arraign-
ed in court to. day for sentence. Judge
Barrett made some strong remarks to
them on the lawlessness of the crime
of which they were convicted. He
said that this was violation of peace
to a country that welcomed foreign
born citizens, to country that offer
ed freedom and the privilege of right.
They had violated public rights and
opinions, and their offence was not
short of blackmail. Their conduct,
if unpublished, would lead to savag-
cry. The judge then sentenced Paul
Whiting and Henry II Oldorf to two
years and ten months at hard labor.
Michael Stroh and Julius Rosenberg
to one year and six months impris.
onment. Daniel Dannshausen, the
most violent of any of the boycott
tiers. got three years and three months
in state prison.

Grit to the Death.

A special despatch from Gatesville,
Texas, says: Much, excitement pre-
walls throughout the neighbOrhoOd
over the duel that took place Monday
between James Cooper and Thomas
Van Winkler. 1t was one of the
bloodiest fights within the memory
of the oldest inhabitants, the story
that has previously been sent out
failing to describe il with anything
like accuracy. Each man literally
carved the other before the eyes of
his neighbOrs, the whole struggle
lasting so short a time, however, that
interference on the part of the by
ISLANDERS was useless almost as soon
as it was thought of. Both men are
well.tod0 and highly respected, and
the cause of the trouble can only he
conjectured. Rumor has it that Van
Winkler, who is handsome man,
has been paying marked attention to
relative of Cooper, much against
the wishes of the latter. Meeting in
the street on Monday evening. the
two men were observed to be engag-
ed in an animated conversati on, the
supposition being that Cooper was
insisting that Van WinkIer's atten-
tons to the young lady should cease.
Almost simultaneously both men
reached for their revolyers, and the
trouble began.
From an eye witness it is learned
that Van Winkler, who was the
more ready Of the two, got the drop
Oh Cooper and fred several shots in
to the latter's head without re.
spouse. By that time, however,
COOper's weapon was brought into
play, and without moments pause
he emptied shot after shot from his
Colts navy revolver into Van Wink
ler's bowels. The latter fell forward
on his face, but retained sufficient vi
taiity to raise one arm and fire two
more shots at Cooper, who was be-
ginning to real from less of blood.
AT this juncture an attempt Was
made to separate them, which, how.
ever, proved futile. Throwing away
their empty reyolvers. they rushed
at each other with knives, Van
Winkler having an ordinary two
inch horn-handied pocket knife, and
Cooper welding hunting knife In.
Simultaneously they slashe, each 9th
er in the stomach and breast. Every
body who witnessed il declares that,
although the whole encounter Occu-
pied only a little over two minutes 1T
was the most terrible fight within
their recollection. The men howled
and cut like maniacS, and only de>is
ted AZ last from sheer exhaustion.
When this remarkable duel was
over, bothlmen presented sickenine
spectacle. Van Winkler's intestines
were exposed, while his arms and
face and, in fact. his entire body wa'
sIashed and bleeding from the effec
of both knife and pistol. Cooper hac
solid piece of flesh cut from one
side of his face, and his head was /
mass of bloody spots where the BALI
had entered. 1t is impossible for the
men to survive.

One never likes to be laughed at un-
der any circumstances, but the minister
mentioned in the following incident
probably laughed himself over the mis-
take he had made. He certainly did if
he had any sense of humor. He was
visiting recently the Jail at Vinton, to
minister to the spiritual wants of the
prisoners
On entering the jail he met two men
in the corridor who looked as if they
might need a little good counsel. Being
prompt, outspoken man, the minister
went straight to business, first Address
ing the elder of the two men, when
something like the following dialogue
occurred:
Minister-How long have you been in
herep
"About two hours"
There was short pause. The clergy
man looked at him curiously for mo-
ment; then he turned to the younger
man and said:
'sHow long have you been in hereP'
.sI came in with him, I" pointing to thi
elder man.
| Another pause ensued, and another
question was fired at the elder of thu
| two:
'sWhat are you here forp'

pipes" was the prompt answer. ''D'

q GOOD START.

% Aunt Marjorie Precept" Gives Bit Oh
Good Advice to Boys and Girls.
Iheard certain lad-I will not men
ton names just now-ask the maid one
evening, not long ago, to be sure to
call him when she should rise IN tn'
morning. .I have work to do" he
said, sand must be up an hour carrier
than usual" Let me whisper here
that sometimes good startfor the day
| is gained by beginning the night be-
fore. For example it is a much better
| thing to finish all the school-work-
lessons, themes, exercises-before go
| ing to bed, than to leave 1T to the
chance of rising an hour earlier than
the accustomed time. 1t makes, you
see. the difference between certainty
and an accident.
In the case of my young friend the
good start he had counted upon was
lost by the fact that the maid forgot
his request, and never thought OF 1t
until she rang the bell to awaken the
rest of the family. Many another boy
loses his good start by not getting up
when he is called.

much needless trouble they give their

of going to sleep again after they have
