A DISTRESSING CASUALTY.
Miss Emma Breedloye Drowned In Big
Cabin Greek.

Last Thursday evening about seven
o'clock the distressing announcement
reached the city that Miss Emma
Breedloye had been drowned in Big
Cabin, at the Co1eyville ford, some
five or six miles above here. The re-
port was difficult to believe and at
Erst incredible aud only when the do
tails were learned could many COM
prehend its truth.
At the close Of tho public school that
evening, of which Miss Brsedlove was
the teacher, the lady went out for a
drive with Mr.. Green, at whose house
she boarded. II was the intention to
visit his farm near the scene OF the
accidentand the crossing was reached
at about $50. In some manner (which
will never be clearly understood) the
depth Of the water was misjudged and
the buggy had no sooner struck the
channel than it was washed around or
tipped over aud the occupants thrown
into the stream. In floating down
Mr.. Green holding to the LADY.
they passed near some bushes which
he grasped, when the current carried
them below the surface. At this june
ture the unfortunate girl was severed
from her companion and we believe
was seen no more. Mr.. Green's shouts
soon brought some men from near by,
who, after searching for half an hour
for some trace OF the missing girl,
rescued Mr. Green from his perilous
position in the water. One Of the
horses were drowned. A message was
at once dispatched to this city and in
response hundreds Of people repaired
to tho scene Of the catastrophe and a
continuous search for the body was
hept up until it's recovery between ten
and eleven O'Clock next morning.
Friends and relatives were summon
od from Prairie City, Muskogeo aud
elsewhere as soon as the shocking
news reached here, and they arrived
during the night. The burial occurred
on Saturday at the cemetery north of
town and at the grave the impressive
Episcopal service was read by Rev. Mr..
McCrary, of tho Methodist church.
Sadness and sorrow were depicted up
on every face, for the deceased was an
especially popular and prepossessing
young lady, aud further than that the
manner of her death was such as al
ways appeals direct to the heart.
The young lady's parents reside at
Prairie City, but her relatives can
probably be found in every district in
the nation. Col. II. l.. Owen, U. S.
Indian agent al Muskogee, is cousin
and was present to do his utmost 10
assuage the grief and to comfort the
bereaved mother in this hour oil
her deepest anguish.
The previous day Miss Bree llove
had been one Of a merry group who
enjoyed a fishing party at Lelietta
near Gibson.
The most uncommon number oil
deaths which have occurred in oui
midst within the last three weeks
bring to mind with especial force Tho
lines -
Leaves have their time to fall.
And flowers to wither at the north winds

And stArs TO set-but all.

DEATH
We know when moons shall wnns,
When Summer birds from far shall eross

When autumn's hue shall tlnge ths
golden grain
Bat who shall teach US when to look for
thee?''

Last Friday morning a shooting was

he lived nine hours. The night before

Of the town, Black well standing just

tolls, took place. Middleton seems to

HoRsK THIEVES IN TRoUBLE-Last
Monday morning, near Adair, Marshal
lsbell and party of guards and cti.
zens arrested four persons as horse
thieves for whom search had been GO
ing on for a number OF days. Their
names are Joe Mobley, Bud MoField,
Jess Cochran, Jr, and George Coch-
ran. The latter is the young man who
was convicted last season for killing a
man, and sentenced TO tho national
prison for ten years. Under our laws
his time will he doubled. The young.
or Cochran seems TO have been only a
driver in the employ Of the gang and
will very likely secure his liberty. The
other two are reputed to be very hard
characters. Mobley is from Jack
county, Texas, where IL is said several
cattle stealing indictments are held
against him. These parties left their
rendezvous above Tulsa two weeks ago
last Monday with twenty-one head OF
horses, and went to Arkansas with
them. AT Bentonyille they traded for
a large gray stallion aud at Maysyille
for very good buggy. They also
traded or bought three barrels Of whis-
Ky and started back with it but in
some way learned that the officers
were on the lookout for them aud
probably hid 1t in the vicinity Of
Grand river. Information Of their
camp ground was brought up Sunday
night and before they awakened next
morning the officers were upon them.
There has been an unoommonly large
amount OF horse stealing this season
aud much of Il has been done by an
organized band, Of wkich these men
are without doubt members. seven Of
tho horsee which they took away on
the recent trip were brought in from
thew west night or two before they
started.

and a policy that will best conduce to the welfare of the country. When such men carry their enthusiasm to the pitch of tramping through acres of mud and rivers of rain it is a pretty significant in dication that they see in the democratic candidate and the democratic policy the highest hope of business and industrial prosperity. And there are hundreds of conservative business men throughout the country who, like their fellows that tramp ed in Saturdays parade, will oppose any change in the existing order of things.
 President Cleveland has shown himself a
 wise, prudent and safe executive, and they are opposed to setting up new admins | tration at this time.
 Business men whose patriotism and judgment are not sunk in partisan pref | udice are for Cleveland and continued prosperity. Their sympathies and hopes l are with him in his campaign.

MEN OF BUSINESS.

That was a grand display which the business men of New York made on Satur- day. Thousands on thousands of men rep resenting all manner and form of com mercial life, marching through mud and rain, shouting themselves hoarse and com municating their enthusiasm to the thou sands of bystanders-it was grand, glorious and gallant sight. It was the best answer that could be made to the bugaboo that business will suffer from the success of the democratic ticket. This scare was worked for all it was worth four years ago the result showed that there was nothing tc it business has been especially active and the country wonderfully prosperous during the administration of President Cleveland, and business men propose te lend their aid to it's continuance.
 The pulse of business is quick to note premonitions of danger, and it is quici also to note indices of prosperity. If thu election of President Cleveland meant any thing but continued and renewed prosper ity such sight as that of Saturday would not have been witnessed. There were il that line hundreds of men who have nt partisan interest in politics, whose on' care in the matter is the choice of ma1

HARRISON's DOLLAR A DAY.

General Harrison has caught tartar. The tartar is Edwin F. Gould, the Indian apolis knight of labor. General Harrison apolis having given him a clean bill, that he said that "a dollar day was enough for any workingman," MT Gould returns to the charge and makes ont a casesswhich even the acrobatic Harrison will find diff fcult to dodge.
 MT Gould in letter te the republican candidate says that he has secured sworn testimony from railroad strikers of 1887 who were present at the conference be- tween citizens and strikers at which MT Harrison presided, notwithstanding he was employed by the railroad as their attorney to defeat the strikers. The rec ords of the court show that he was so en- ployed. The sworn testimony of these men-men whom Mir Gould vouches for as reliable and trustworthy-is that General Harrison declared that the men should be forced to return to work, even at the point of the bayonet; that a dollar day was enough for any workingman, and any amount, be striker. To MT Harrison's mind no man has @ right to strike, even against the merciless oppression that Gould and his | associate monopolists deal out to those in their employ. Fortunately such men as Chief Arthur and Master Workman Pow derly think differently, and they will be regarded as rather better friends to the workingman than General Harrison, re- publican candidate for president of the United States. The charges as made by MT Gould and substantiated by reliable men present when the remarks were uttered were revived at the Chicago convention, and men high in the standing of the re- publican party maintained that they could be proven.
 MT Gould announces his willingness to have his affiants prosecuted for perjury, and intimates very strongly that General Harrison is afraid of this test of his guilt. On this point MT Gould says:
 am in possession of propositions from 8 large number of reliable and trustworthy citizens of Indianapolis, one of them all ex-city officer, some of them prominent re publicans, agreeing to testify against you in the event of being summoned. The ex- city officer ayers that he will swear that he sat by you; heard you say that ''Pie and cake, sugar and coffee, &c., were luxuries that workingmen and their families seldc II indulged in; that the coarse living of { workingman rendered it possible to live or l 1o~
 adds that he will also corroborate other sworn testimony concerning the treatment , imposed upon the strikers at your own in
 vestigation. He says that his business anc
 employment would be placed in jeopardy
 if he voluntarily affirmed under oath any thing derogatory to your character.

"DUTIEs should be so high that our man ufacturers can fairly compete with the foreign product, but not so high as to en- able them to drive out the foreign article, enjoy monopoly of the trade, and regu- late the prices as they please.

George M. Stearns of Massachusetts, who has been stumping Connecticut and who is one of the most astute political calculators in the country, believes this state will go for Cleveland. He gives these reasons for the faith that is in him
 "First, it is a democratic state. Second, see no evidences of loss to our side. The scare don't work. There are many small manufacturers who want free raw material or reduced taxation upon the material they use in their business, and l am sure we are getting gains through them there. Third, Connecticut is a bright, thoughtful and smart business state, and the issues are so plainly on our side that the voters will act upon them correctly"
