RESOLUTIONS BY THEI.O. GIT.
OF Charleston, upon the Recent
Attempt to Assassinate
Rev. A. Mick.

At the last meeting of Capitol
Lodge, No, 81, |, O. G. T., held on
Monday night, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were adopted ::
WHEREAS, We learn that an attempt was
made at Trap HILL Raleigh county, w. Va,
on Thursday night, october Is, 1883, to assas-
sinate our brother, Rev. a, Mick, of Charles
ton, by some miscreant hurting stone at
his head, through the window behind him,
while he was making a speech in the Bap-
t1st Church In favor of the Prohibition
Amendment, said stone narrowly missing
its aim but singing his neck and the back
of his head with broken particles of glass,
and passing on with great force, some forty
feet or more across the room, making a deep
dent in the plank wall and bounding back
nearly to the middle of the room.
Resolved, That we hereby congratulate
Bro. Mick on his providentia1 escape from
the deadly missile of the would-be assassin,
and congratulate ourselves and the great
cause we represent, that he is saved to us to
further ably advocate the cause of Temper
ance.
Resolved, That we condemn this dastardly
outrage as the natural and logical outgrowth
of the nefarious liquor traffic, and appeal to
all coed citizens to rebuke it at the polls on
November 6.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions
be handed Bro. Mick, and also be furnished
the city and other papers for publication.

s.The First Concern"

Any political party that admits
that the morals of the people and
protection of the home are the first
concern Of good government, and
then offers no adequate protection
to our homes from the ravages of
the rum traffic, is unworthy of the
support of Christian people.-Mich

None of our papers have bolted our
national or any state tickets. The Voice
has not sold out to the Democrats, Tho
Lever has not come out for Cleveland.

Claimed by American Brandenburgers-An An
Immense Estate Near Berlin waiting the
Heirs In This Country.
DENVER, COL, Aug. &C. D. Bell, Of
Louisville, KY, arrived in this city few
days ago for the purpose Of consulting
with his attorney, John G. Keegan, and Is
perfecting the claim Of the heirs to the
Brandenburg estate, situated near Berlin,
Germany, and valued at over f2,000,-
600. Matthias Brandenburg, the only
heir Of Solomon, came to Amer
lea and settled with his family in
Winchester, Va, then they moved to
Mead County, KY, where he was killed by .
horse in 1907, leaving a family Of twelve
children, one of whom was grandfather
of Mr.. Bell. Before his death Matthias
told his family Of the estate in Germany,
and the first confirmation Of his words was
the appearance of an advertisement In
American and German papers In 1862 in.
quiring the whereabouts Of the heirs OF
Solomon Brandenburg. The castle on the
estate is said to be one Of the handsomest
in Europe, and is at present tenanted by
Herbert Won Bismarck.

It may happen In some instances and

The Fiercest Electric Display Known for
Years.

CoNNERsvrLLE, fND, Aug. s.--The
northwestern and southeastern portions OF
this county were visited by storms yester-
day afternoon and last night, In which
lightning and hail played sad havoc. In
Fairview Township Miss Anna Green was
standing in the door Of Joseph Jackson's
residence, when she was shocked by light
ming and doubtless fatally hurt. David
Baker, a prominent citizen Of the same
neighborhood, aged eighty-three years,
was sitting out doors with his arm
resting on rain water barrel, whom

side, tearing his clothing into shreds
and boring a hole through his shoe.
He was only slightly stunned. q. @.

CIRcLEvILLE, o., Aug. S.--Last night this
city was visited by one Of the severest
storms in its history. The lightning darted
hither and thithor along the electric wires,
entering several residences, but doing no
material damage. At Bloomfield two
horses, valued at 5000, were killed by light
ming. They belonged to DR.. J. G. Thomp-
son. A stack of straw on the farm Of
Ralph Daily was ignited by the fiery fluid,
and the flames communicated to a store
house near by, which was destroyed, with
all its contents.
MILLERsBURa, o., Aug. s.-The heaviest
electrical storm for years prevailed here
last night for two or three hours. The
smokestack at the old Mcdonald Machine
Shop was struck, tearing away one side.
The new court house was struck, but the
current was carried down by q rod, and
only slight damage was done. The elec.
tric-light plant was shaken up, but not
much damage done.
OXFORD, o.. Aug. s.-A violent wind.
storm passed over a section Of country
about two miles southeast Of here last
night, doing great damage to farm build
ings and crops Two barns belonging to
Dunham Davis and John Martindale were
unroofed and otherwise damaged. A barn
belonging to VIM. Dewitt was almost
blown down, and other out-buildings
damaged.
