To the Editor OF EVENING JoURSAL.
The situation between the warning
faction of the Democratic party in this
county remains the same to-day as at the
close of the county convention, only the
former dislike and differences have been
intensified by the exposure Of the Wat
SON Wolcott deal, which clearly explains
the origin and animus OF the Smyrna
Records letters. Il would have been
next to impossible to have made q ticket
to which both factions would have given
a hearty support, even had the three
minority hundreds been Justly dealt with,
but after the unfair insulting and tan
talizing manner in which their delegates
were treated in open convention and the
trampling under foot of all former usages
and rules such as have always been used.
and attempting to read them out Of the
party. they have now taken the position
of open hostility TO the whole of the rep
resentative branch of the ticket on the
principle that fraud in part corrupts the
whole of their work This will also ieop-
ardise the election Of their sheriff, as he
is credited with being kicker in 1850.

This gives the opposition all the prece-

satisfied brings the retort ''As they

them at the election in November. and If

1t is now three weeks since the conven-
ton, and their county committee has not

after the convention. The facts are that
they were terrible ratified when after the
convention, they realized that Kenny $
words in convention had been no idle
threat when he said: You may nOmi,
nate to-day, but who will elect in No

to slaughter Congressman Pennington
that they might receive portion of the
! colored vote has been exposed, it leaves
them more demoralized and disheartened
than before, while il has solidiied the
opposition against them, and many old

excitement has prevailed here today over the
attempt OF a colorcd man named David Brax-
ton 20 outrage Miss Tile Schramp, a respect
able German girl Of this city, wlom he chanc-
Ell 70 meet about dark last evening when che
was walking alone in one of the l~onclicst
parts OF the town. Suddenly she heard 3 step
at her side, and a voice asking where she was
going. AT the same time she was seized and
thrown on the ground and told TO keep quiet
or she would be killed. Realizing her situa-
ton she screamed for help, but her assailant
held her down, and had almost accomplished
his Infamous purpose when the sound Of
Schramp managed to reach the nearest house
and alarm George Glauder. who in answer to
her appeal armed himself and started In
search Of Braxton. Meeting James Crutch-
field, a colored man, he mistook him for the
subject OF his search and fired upon him, In
nicting a painful If not fatal wound in his
back. Cr1.chfield escaped, but was arrested
later and lodged in jail. Braxton was arrest
ed at the stone quarry near here this morn
ing and lodged In Jail. He was brought face
to face with Miss Schramp who declared him
to be the man who had assaulted her. He
was very much excited when confronted by
her, and acted like a guilty man. Having been
identified, he was removed to his cell. He
refuses to talk. Miss Schramp was then
taken To the Jail TO see Crutchfield, whom she
declared she had never seen before.

ELMIRA, n. Y, May 4-The little hamlet
Of Mcintyre, Pa, about forty miles south of
this city, on the North,rn Central railway,
years ago WAS a lively mining place, but re-
Gently was partially abandoned and DOW is a
thing OF the past, having been wiped out OF
existence by fire. There were about fifty
houses, besides a coalbreaker, church, store
houses, a coalshed and repair building, all OF
which were destroyed. The flames started in
the woods some distance from the place and
spread so rapidly that, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the people and those of Ralston
another mining town one mile south, the
flame swept through I'd. town like q cyclone
and continued on it's way in the dense pine
forests near by. The fire burned over . vast
area of forest, and was only checked by a
copious rain. The loss falls on the Mcintyre
Coal company, and is considerable.
