SAD OCCURRENCE.-Last Saturday week
the little child Of Mr.. Jonas Hageman, one
of Staunton's most enterprising and pop
ular young business men, died in it's moth
er's arms, while on the train returning
from Rockbridge Alum Springs, where it
had been taken for its health. The re-
mains were conveyed to Charlottesville,
the home Of Mrs: Hageman's parents, and
buried in the Jewish Cemetery of that
place. A few days before Mrs. Beecher

AT coyINGToN,

At Covington, on Tuesday, the candidates
again met, the terms for the discussion being
alternated. Capt. Bumgardner led off in an
hour forty-eight minutes of which were con-
sumed in discussing reconstruction. the remain
ing twelve minutes being given TO the tariff,
Blair bill and other issues. Yost followed in one
and quarter hours, devoting three fourths of
his time to the tariff and Blair bill, and pressing
his competitor to define his position upon those
two prominent measures In his reJoinder.
Capt. Il. declared that had he been in Congress
he would have voted for the consideration of
the Morrison bill and against Randall and the
Republicans. He did not regard that vote as a
vote upon the bill itself, and he would have adj
ded amendments to that bill after it came up for
consideration. On the Blair bill he commended
that he stood on the democratic platform that
there was no constitutional power to take the
money from the pockets of the people except
for the maintenance of Government. That the
money proposed to be distributed by the Blair
bill had been wrung from the people by excess
siye taxation. II it could be returned to the
very parties that paid it, that would be proper
distribution of it. But inasmuch as such a dis
tribution was impossible, he favored as near an
approximation to 1t as possible.
AS q matter of fact his real position was in
accordance with the:Crain bill, which proposed
to distribute the money to the States in proper
ton to population.
It is needless to say that Mr.. Bumgardner's
Views are not popular in Allegheny county.
The crowd was good one, the Republicans hav-
ing, from observation, the majority.

nTullhatton Loose Again

The Texas romancer, known to the
newspaper world by the name of Mulhat-
ton I'VE believe that is the way it is
spelled is loose again, and this time COM
mences his work in Lexington, Va, as is
evidenced by the following dispatch to the
Baltimore San
LEXINGTON, VA, Sept. Capt. JAS.
Bumgardner. Democratic candidate for
Congress, and Mr.. Jacob Y ost, the Repub-
lican candidate, met to-day in joint dis
cussiOn. The discussion was conducted
in courteous manner, but Mr.. Bumgard-
ner carried the day.
The same dispatch was sent to the Rich
mond Dispatch, with the exception that
Hon j. R. Tucker also addressed the udi
ence. Reliable gentlemen of both political
parties, who were present, represent things
somewhat different from what Mullhatton
does, and give an entirely different i'm
preston. That the crowd was two to one
and probably three to one against Capt.
Bumgardner, is the concurrent opinion of
those we have heard speak of it, and if
the day was carried by Bumgardner, it
was not visible to those present. Our cor
respondent, however, who was present and
took notes of the discussion, gives truth
full recital of facts and to them we refer
the reader.
Capt. Bumgardner IS clever gentle
man, but he represents a bad cause and
stands on mixed and contradictory plat
form and consequently he is not to blame
if he gets worsted in discussion, Mullhat-
ton to the contrary, notwithstanding

Geo. E. Bowden the Republican nominee

Thos. Bayly Brown, in the Fredericks-

most highly respected families in Virginia.
They are gentlemen of high character,
admitted ability and well educated, and as
business men and citizens are without
faults. But they are Republicans, and
this is cause for the Democratic papers to
refer to them in the most contemptnous
terms and abusive language. Are the peo-

audacious insolence, and condemn men
simply because they have opinions and dare
to express them, different from those en-.

sent what is falsely called the Democratic

Rev. Mr.. Pratt, being absent through
June, July was observed as Children's
Sunday. The church was appropriately
decorated, and although the day was
almost insufferably hot, yet it was well
filed, to listen to the singing and recita-
tions of the children and also the well
timed remarks of the pastor, after which
nine of the children we're consecrated in
baptism, and nearly as many more
will receive the rite on next Communion
day. All seemed to enjoy the happy
occasion. Mr.. Pratt is evidently doing
good work with his people, who are ap-
preciating and responding with kindly
spirit. At the close of the services Sun
day the school was arranged in the front
of the church and pictures taken, which
will be disposed of for the benefit of the
school. Mr.. Pratt having taken his va
cation early, this church will be kept
open through July and August, where
many who are not yet familiar with our
doctrines are becoming interested in the
successful work going on, may be found.
With the prevailing spirit of this society
success is certain.
