Today, Saturday, the last day al
June, in the year of our Lord 1855,
will be laid the corner stone of Il
building, in this city, that will in al.
probability be standing thousand
years hence. Long years--ages after
the men who projected the enter
prise, AS well AS those who erected
the editice, have crumbled into for
gotten dust, the Temple of God
whose foundation stone is laid today.
will remain--a monument to those
men whose zeal and enterprise prop
erly directed have eliminated in n
structure which, when complete.
will be an honor to its protectors and
"a glory to the God whom they delight
to worship. First aud foremost
among the list Of these instruments
in His bands, whose energy and
means have contributed more than
any other one mans 10 make the
erection of such building possible
at this time stands the name of John

We are led to this conclusion from

A few weeks ago negro by the
name of Dan Crawford murdered an.
other negro, a few miles below Mem.
phis, and was promptly jailed iu that
city. Since his incarceration he ha.
at various times acted like mad
man. Whether his insanity was ae-
tua or simulated will probably new
er he known till the last trump shall
sound, He acted so much like era
~ man, however, that DR.. Will
ford was appointed a committee of
one to investigate and report
Among other stories told to prove
his insanity was one to the effect
that his skull had been fractured
several years ago, and "A silver plate
let in to I'll up the crack. Or. Will
ford, with two assistants and all ne
cessary instruments started in to
search for the alleged crack in the
skull, and adjacent silver mine. At
ter placing the patient under the in
iiueDce of chloroform, he proceeded
to cut and whack away for the object
uf his search. He failed To make IA
find. so the expedition didn't pan
out anything. In the mean time,
h however, the negro died while the
search was going on. a coroner'S
jury found that the negro "came to
his death from failure of the heart"
No doubt this verdict will be emf
nently satisfactory to the dead mans
friends-if he has any. 1t would
have been quite as satisfactory to
have found that.he died for the want
Of breath. 1t seems to us that there
is good big moral lying around
loose, in this connection.

There came very near being gen
eral Jail delivery in Grenada las
Wednesday night. There are sevel
persons in jail, six colored aud one
white. They succeeded in getting
on, of the cage, but in making
some noise attempting to get ont OF
the house they attracted the atten-
ton of jailor Wright, in time to pre-
vent their escape. Two of the ne
groes are charged with murder, one
broke into DR.. Gu0dwin's house sew
eral monthe since and stole lot OF
jewelry; another is in for breaking
into Bro. Mitchell's house and steal
ing a chicken pie and some other
valuables. The other negroes are in
for minor 0flenses. The white man
was sent in last Wednesday, by
squire Tnrnipseed, for carrying con-
cealed weapons. 1t seems that the
negroes had been working on bar
of the cage for the last three weeks,
but could not succeed In cutting it
in two till the white man above mem
toned lent his assistance. He told
the negroes, sOCn after he was put in,
that he would get them all out In
twenly-four hoursif they would stand
up to him, and he came very near
making good his promise. seems

MIR. Blaine VIII Start the Ball.

PoRTLANp. ME., July 2-It IS understood
that the first great Republican rally OF the
campaign will be held here, when Mr.,
Blaine will open the STATE and National CAM
paign at the same time. Delegates from all
the local Republican organizations will meet
enters Maine until he reaches Augsuia he
will be received by the local clubs and politi-
clans, and will, it is expected, speak very
briefly on the platform of his car.
The great State meeting here will be fol-
lowed by other meetings at central points.
After making tour of Maine, Mr.. Blaine
will go to other States. Republicans who
have always been known as Blaine men
say he will be the central figure the nation
al campaign. They say that, following the
lead OF Mr. Blaine, the Republicans will
make the greatest fight they ever made.
d" Blaine will strike the keynote OF the nation
al campaign, said prominent member OF
the party who gave the above information.
II is also true that the Blaine men all say
that he will go back 10 Washington as Uni
ted States Senator There is a report that
General Harrison is ia meet Blaine in New
York and go with him to Maine.
One of the Maine delegation to Chicago
says they were urged to do nothing which
could give any one reason TO say, Blaine is
trying TO dictate the nomination What
Manley said Mr.. Blaine wanted was TO be in
Il position to support whoever might be
nominated

General Sheridan Removed.

WAsHISGroS, July 1.-The Swartara, with
General Sheridan, accompanied by his wife,
physicians and nurses, sailed yesterday for
Nonquitt, Mass, where the Generals sum
mer home is located.
Misleading statements prevented the usual
gathering. A detachment Of police were
drawn up in front of the Sheridan residence,
at II o'clock, and when the ambulance left
it was escorted by detail of mounted police.
Only few colored men, working in the vi
cinity, witnessed the departure. Eight ma
rines carried the cot from the ambulance to
the swinging cot in the cabin of the Swar-
tara
The fact that the removal was made while
the weather was damp and the sea rough, is
interpreted to indicate that the removal was
urgently necessary, and that the only hope
sued before the yessal sailed said that Gen
eral Sheridan rested well Friday night, and
after reaching the vessel was in as good con-
dition as when he left home
NORFOLK, Va, July 1.-The Swartara,
with General Sheridan on board, arrived
heie this morning aud anchored in Hamp-
ton Roads General Sheridan's condition
tonight is reported about the same as when
he left Washington yesterday, and if the
weather and everything is favorable. the
Swartara will weigh anchor and sail for Nom

Harrison's Strength in Indiana

In 1876, says the New York S,,a, General
Harrison despite the disadvantages under
which he ran, was in that year about 2.O00
votes stronger than the rest OF his colleagues
on the ticket Thirteen Congressmen were
voted for on the same day that the Governor
was elected. and the combined vote of these
on the Republican side was 2O4, 4,4l9, SO that
from this comparison il would seem clear
that General Harrison was from 5000 To 1000
votes stronger than the Republican o-gani-
zstion in the State at that time. He was
beaten by plurality of 50s4 in total vote
Of 43i, ,479. There was that year Greenback
vote Of IL 900, most Of il drawn from Repub-
lican ranks, -Four or five Thousand votes of
difierance DO not usually matter much, and
in most States they would not affect the re
suit at all. But Indiana has always been
uncomfouably close, and it gave at the last
State election Republican majority of 1894.
II General Harrison develops strength and
popularity enough TO retain or increase this
lead the Republicans will prove correct in
their calculation that the chances of win
ming Indiana are decidedly in their favor
