Flying from Alabama.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 21.-At a
late hour last night, seventy refugees
who boarded the Louisville and Nash
vile train, two miles south of Decatur,
A la, arrived in this city. The officers
met the train at Mallory Station, six
teen miles out, and informed the
refugees that they could not be per-
mitted to stop at Nashville, and
twelve of the number had tickets for
this city. Those who did not pass
through Decatur were allowed t.
leave the train upon its arriv-
al here. The conductor reported
that several stopped at towns along
the road. 1t was learned that great
excitement prevailed. at Decatur, and
that last night many fled in all direc-
tions, going in vehicles and on foot, as
trains are not permitted to stop in
the city, and it is reported that
one hundred more refugees from De-
catur will arrive in the city today.
They will not, however, be allowed to
get off here. Most of them who went
through are bound for points north of
the Ohio river.

prominent San Antonio gentleman
who is expected to arrive here tonigh
has written to the Laredo Improve
ment company, offering to buy large
~ of stock if company can be formed
to build a $4,000 hotel here"
The people of Laredo need not bank
very much on a fellow like that, par
Gicularly when he has let such splen-
did chances for home investments go
by, as the smelter and other industries
and manufactures. A man who will
not support his own town with his
money won't make a good citizen
anywhere else.

Lively STRANGERS.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 2l-Two
men en- route toWashington territory,
overland, stopped at Rock Springs,
Sweetwater county, yesterday noon to
purchase supplies. They became in
toXicated and engaged in a saloon
brawl with coalminers. One of the
strangers drew six shooter, and
empted into the crowd. Dick Davis
was instantly killed, and Phil
Shafer and Dan Harrison wound
ed. All were miners. After
the shooting, the strangers jump
ed into their wagon and drove
rapidly out of town. Two officers
who followed on foot were fired
upon by the emigrants. In the ex-
change of shots, one stranger was
wounded, and both horses killed.
The men were arrested. The miners
tried to take the prisoners from the
officers when Ell route to Jail. There
is every probability that the men
will be lynched. Rock springs was
the scene of the Chinese riot several
years ago, the element which led to
the slaughter of Cinnamon still pre-
dominates there.

MAILING A CAMPAIGN LIE.

Indiana railroad men at Vincennes,
Indiana, the great railroad center,
have held a meeting for the purpose
of deneuncing the campaign lies cir
culated abroad concerning Harrison IS
lack Of sympathy with the railroad
men in the great strike Of 1877. At the
Vincennes meeting Harrison and
Morton railroad club Of 1873 members
was formed, and among the notable
speeches on that occasion was that of
Hon. w. D. Robinson, pioneer rail-
road engineer, father Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and
we'll known in every engineers lodge
in the country. Robinson said:
IA lie has been, promulgated
through the democratic press, by
democratic demagogues, to the effect
is sufficient for any railroad or other
laboring man; and that during the
strike of 1877 he gave utterance to the
sentiment that the strikers should be
shot down. There are three kinds of
lldIS III ulllS WOIlN, SdII uc, hISU, Vic
hereditary liar, who lies from the era
die to the grave because he is born
liar. We may possibly excuse him.
The next is the liar from ne
cessity, and there may be oc-
casions when he may be excused; but
the meanest liar that ever infested
Gods green earth is the liar from
choice. the liar who will lie on six
months credit rather than tell the
truth for cash down. With regard to
this lie against Gen. Harrison, the
demagogues of the democratic party
have arrayed themselves among these
liars from choice. Now 1 am here to-
night, and this railroad club has been
organized, for the purpose of resenting
and Indignantly protesting against
this lie. and out of 233 railroad voters,
as shown by the poll of this town
ship, 1873 railroad men, all of them
voters, have here affixed their sigma
lures for the purpose of mailing this
unadulterated, crystaliZed, BALD
headed lie to the cross"
This meeting will carry with it the
railroad vote of Indiana and means
the addition of thousands of recruits
to Harrison's standard.

THE OFFICERS TRUST.
City and County OFFICERS Combined
to Secure Their Own
Elections.


Elections.
Many wonder why there are peo-
pie in this city who don't want any
| conventions, and who, if conventions
are held, don't want any nominations
for county officers. An endeavor was
made to prevent the recent republic
can convention, but when it was
found that it was inevitable, certain
republicans worked the primaries
and the county convention in such
way, that while it endorsed party
nominations for the state, where
there was no earthly chance
for success, it refused to nomin-
ate candidates for county Offices
where there was at least a good
didates elected. The secret is out.
In January last the city and county
officers formed.a com bination that may
be properly described as "trust" in
which certain democrats and certain
republican office holders of the city
and county agreed to use all efforts to
secure the election of the county
ticket, as amended, and this being
done then the county officer should
help the city office holders in the like
manner at the next city election. 1t
was a pretty game of Scratch me
and I'll scratch you" in which no ac-
count was taken OF the people.
All participants agreed to prevent
conventions if possible and failing to
prevent nominations in their respec-
tive parties.

The plan is to have complacent
friends to select fifty democrats and
republicans on each side, form the
peoples ticket committee and rush
the candidates through. The ques-
ton is, will the people sanction this
fraud and allow it to be perpetrated
in this community.
Steps are being taken to circum-
vent the office holders tricks
and both the straight democrats
and republicans are working to
attain that end. The young mems
democratic club are also against the
trust" There is some hope of break
ing down this huge fraud, but it must
be admitted that the officers combi-
nation is strong one, and it will re-
quire money and hard work to defeat
it.
