Henry Arno bounded up the stairs.
Unlocking the door and striding rapidly
forward to where the prisoner was appeal
Ing to the bushwhackers for freedom, he

II you dare cry out or show yourself

his fist in his fallen foes face.
Come out, Mr.. Eddles; we want to talk
with yer" said the Captain in q persuasive
tone.
"You can talk with me from where you

This appeared to be as fair MS the Cap

Come, boys, we'll 60 in. And they began
to dismount.

"Boys, give it to the sneaking hound!"
the Captain yelled.
The mansion door closed with bang,
and none too soon. for at once the rattling Of
shot and bullets against the mansion began,
and the heavy oaken door was pierced in
many places.
An instant later single shot from the
house replied and one bushwhacker ceased
hostilities. John rushed for his rifle.
Springing to a window he took aim at one OF
the enemy, and as he fred blood curdline

1t has been discovered that Director
Putin of the secret police of st. Peters

OF thieves and has received a h .avy trib-
ute fIon the proceeds Of their robDeries.
Political correspondence at Vienna,
says the negotiations between Russia
and the Vatican for the establishment of
diplomatic relations have collapsed, ow-
ing to the opposition Of Pobiedonesteff,
procudator of the holy synod in Russia.
OF the Polish clerical authorities in Aus
tria and of the ultranontane cardinals il

Bitter feeling has been engendercd at
Pittsburg, Pa, over the establishment
of parochal school by the Catholics in
the first ward public school building.
Seven Protestant ministers denounced
Catholicism from their pulpits on Sun
day. Arrangements were made for mass
meetings in that city and also in Ale
gheny to protest against the use of public
school buildings for religious purposes.

A strange malady has affected the vii
layers Of Franklin Park, N. j. About
four weeks ago a sailor named Garrett
son returned from trip along the
Southern coast, and soon after his return
was stricken down with disease which
the doctors called ship fever. He died.
Within u few days number of those
attending the funeral were stricken down
with the same disease, aud in the past
three weeks six Others have died, and
now there are number sick with the
fever, many of whom, the doctors say,
will die.
Counterfeit five and one-dollar bills are
being extensively circulated IN New
York. The sub-treasury officials say
they are SO skilfully executed that they
would deceive almost every one unless
carefully scrutinized. The paper in the
ive-dollar bill is trifle thicker than it
should be, and the head of Gen. Grant,
which adorned the bill, is somewhat
rougher and less evenly executed than en-
the genuine bill. The one-dollar coun-
terfets: the paper is more nearly like the
genuine paper, but the same defect is in
the head OF Martha Washington as in the
head of Gen. Grant

A SEED WHEAT SHARPER.
How a Farmer Narrowly Escaped
Being Swindied.

A Grain and Seed Company of Gin
cinnati has an agent operating what is
believed to be a swindling game in the
southern tier counties of N. Y. State.
A Delaware County farmer, who came
near being caught in the net, gives
the following account OF his experiences:
A man of business-like appearance and
address called upon him, representing
himself as an agent for the Grain and
Seed Company, aud offering for sale an
alleged new variety of wheat for seeding
purposes, styled tgold medal wheat"
The agent represented that the variety
was something new, and of which his
company controlled the whole supply in
the country, and he exhibited to the
farmer lot OF certificates alleged to be
signed by prominent Western wheat
growers, stating that they had tried the
new kind and had found it extraor-
dinarily prolific and valuable for -four
ing uses. The agent offered to sell the
farmer 10 bushels of seed wheat, to be
sowed this fall, at SIS bushel. and to
take note for the mount ($150), pay
able on the LIST Of next July, and, to
secure the farmer against any possible
loss in the transaction, tho seed Com
pany would give him bond agreeing to
pay him $l5 a brshel for 10 bushels of
his crop, and IS bushel for oil he rails.
ed in excess Of that quantity. The
agent figured that eight acres of land,
seeded with 10 bushels of this wonder
fully valuable variety of wheat, would
return crop of 500 bushels of the value
of not less than 50, 500.
The farmer was captivated with the

Her mother came unto the pair in haste.
Scolded Miss Julia. but admired her taste,
Dismissed the Abbe with simpering frown,
And talked to Julia, while she srnoothed her

You should respect our honored church ut least

But Julia cried, and begged, and called him boy,
And like child, would have no other toy

And BY decree in cloister was interned

One Of the longest strikes on record,
that of the brick makers at Havers traw,
N. Y, has been settled. 1t lasted near
~ two years. The original point at is
sue was tho employ ent by tho bosses
OF non-union men. That point appears
to have been yielded by the mon, while
tho bosses. on their part, have taken
back tho union strikers. 1t is said by
the Timcs- Democrat that during their
long strike the men have received very
little aid from the organization towhich
they belonged.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Every vote for the
Rhoads ticket is vote for the ring, for
fraud, for corruption. Every vote for the
Wolf ticket is vote against the bosses and
for the right in politics. The issue is plain
and cannot be mistaken. 1t is between
Frank Rhoads and all the gang of political
strikers and corruptionists who follow
his lead, on the one SIDE and decency and
good government on the other side
A vote for the Rhoads ticket means an
Endorsement of the gross frauds in the
Fourth Ward. A vote for the Rhoads
ticket means rewarding of the men who
practice fraud at elections and boast of their
ability to run in fraudulent votes. A vote
for the Rhoads ticket means that the voter
is in favor of being cheated, and that
he thanks the ring who cheat and
defraud him of his rights. A vote
for the Rhoads ticket means the giving the
bosses the control of the Fire Department
as political machine, where no man can
obtain employment unless Endorsed BY
Frank Rhoads. A vote for the Rhoads
ticket means that the gamblers, under the
plea of protection by the city authorities,
and the bosses, are to be permitted to make
money by Matchmaking them at SO much
per month.
A vote for the ticket headed by H. c..
Wolf means to rid the city of gambling,
the Police and Fire Departments of politics,
the bosses of their power, the Republican
party of bad leaders, and the politics of Sac
ramento from fraud and corruption.
Let every citizen vote for the entire ticket
headed by H. C. Wolf. CITIZEN.

CANDIDATES AND PERSONALITIES.

A correspondent asks: "What can you
say against Mr.. Elkus" The correspond
ent mistakes the purpose and principle of
honorable debate. Neither the RECORD
UNION, nor, probably, any Republican in
Sacramento, has any warfare to make upon
Mr.. EIkus 1t is not essential to the
establishment Of principle that candi-
date upon an opposing ticket be assailed.
MIR. Elkus is a highly reputable
citizen, whom under ordinary cir
cumstances the Republicans of Sacra-
mento could cordially support. He is an
old-time merchant, capable and intelli-
gent. The difficulty is that this gentleman
cannot be supported without giving in
dorsement to vicious and demoralizing in
fluences that put him forward, to cover
with the cloak of his good character their
infamous designs. Behind him they pro-
pose to continue to "boss this city. In
his name they hope to deal blow to re-
form from which it viii not recover. The
RECoRD-UNIoN, nor none of the fair-deal-
ing Republicans for whom it ventures to
speak, assail Mr.. Louis Elkus, for his
standing forbids it. But they do deplore
the fact that he has permitted himself to
be put before the people as a shield to the
ring that has sworn to rule or ruin the
Republican party in Sacramento.
By uplifting his name they hope to con-
ceal their cloven feet From behind his
character they are striving to stab the effort
to give law-abiding, self-respecting men a
chance to be politically free Principle is
the great end in this contest for which we
do battle, not men. We assail wrong and
invasion of human rights, not those who
are so unfortunate as to be advanced to the
front, themselves innocent Of i'll design.
Therefore, let no one say of the legion of
Republicans who will tomorrow vote
against the infamy of vicious boss rule, that
it is an assault upon Mr.. Elkus person
ality-for it is not-but protest against
crime and corruption and the destructive
influence of odious bossism.
