BRAxToS @. H. W. Va, July 15.-Yes,
terday the Democrats OF Braxton county
met here for the purpose Of holding
convention to send delegates to the State,
Judicial, Congressional and sena'
torial Conventions. That "true Dem
ocratic harmony" that our friends the
enemy boast Of prevailed, and ere the
convention proceeded far the title Of q
wild mob could Justly be given it. The
fight was over the Judgeship OF this cir
cult. The candidates for nomination
are W..G. Bennett and @. o. HigRin-
botham, whose friends had each a can
didate for chairman and claimed ma
jority. After wrangling some time over
the vote, Major w. D. Rollison, OF Salt
Lick Bridge, the Bennett candidate,
withdrew. and made a motion to elect
F. ]. Baxter, the Higginbotham candi-
date, permanent chairman by acclama-
ton, which was done.
Resolutions being next in order, one
was offered by the Bennett men that
the convention be divided by districts
and that each district select three dele
gates to each of the conventions. A
substitute was introduced by the other
side, that the chairman appoint commit
tees TO select such delegates, but before
the vote was had on the substitute it
was withdrawn and an amendment was
offered to the original resolution to the
effect that delegates TO all except the
judicial convention be selected by the
districts and that the iudgeship be set
tied by primary elections. Before q
vote was called, however, the convention
was declared adjourned amidst the Wild
est excitement and confusion. Ben
nett's friends then called their men to-
gether and moved the convention down
the street, where John White was called
to the chair. A majority Of the former
convention being present they proceed
ed to business, elected delegates to the
various conventions and adjourned.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 15.-A seri'
ousshootingafray occurred here tonight
in which William Dunn, married man
employed at Kingan's pork house, was
probably fatally wounded. Four men
were engaged in conversation, when
Dunn approached the group and made 9
remark about General Harrison. One
of the men, Frank Ernshaw, remarked
that Sunday was no time to talk politics,
whereupon Dunn replied that he could
whip Ernshaw or any man in the crowd.
Robert Hardpense took exception to
this remark, when Dunn struck at him
but missed, and upon a second attempt
Hardpense drew his revolver and fired,
the ball entering just above Dunn's
right eye. Dunn was removed TO q hos
pital, where he lies unconscious. Hard
pense was arrested. Both men were
under the influence OF liquor.
George w. Ferrand, farmer residing
eight miles south OF here, this morning,
shot and killed William Naples. The
latter was drunk. and, seizing rail from
the fence, rushed upon Ferrand.
The latter retreated, at the
same time warning Naples to
desist, but he continued to advance aud
Ferrand drew q revolver and fired two
shots, which struck Naples in the breast

BERLIN, July l5.-The Emperor sailed
for his visit to Russia yesterday after
noon amid much cannonading and the
plaudits of a vast multitude. The
whole occasion was historically brilliant
What the two cousins will do, however,
when they get their heads together no
body appears to understand.
1t is known that Germany thinks 1t is
a pleasant visit, and Russian opinion is
that it concerns Bulgaria. France fears
that it means the last possibility of any
Russian alliance and Austria and Italy
are i'll at ease. The most amusing and
deplorable feeling exists at Con-
stantinople. The Turk has come
to the conclusion that it is to
be a renewal of the Three Emperors'
League, and that Germany and Austria
propose to sacrifice Turkey to the Car,
while England is unable to render any
assistance, having enough to do to take
care OF herself.

BERLIN, July l5.-The domestic drama
which has been disgracing Wiesbaden
for the past week, came to an end this
afternoon, when Queen Natalie, after
having been robbed of her son, was
banished from the German empire. The
poor woman Justly has the sympathies
Of all fair minded people in Europe.
From the beginning Of his efforts to get
rid OF her Milan has lost no opportunity
OF adding insult to injury. Gen. Pro-
itch, whom he sent to take away her
son, is the husband OF the lady whose
relations with the King caused the. first
break.
The decree of divorce sought for by
the King is an unjustiiable one in every
point under Servian law and could be
accomplished only by the servile &C.
clesiastics and subservient ministry.
Milan has been determined to get red OF
her, and Bismarck's assistance gives color
to the report that her successor is to be
n German princess, The parting between
mother and son was most trying scene,
and the poor Queen set out for Vienna
this afternoon, childless and entirely
miserable.

Emperor's disease and he moreover adds
that upon telling the mystery the EN-

command, that Mackenzie received a
vigorous rebuke from the Princess. He
was naturally disgraced; then came the
death OF Emperor William and once
more the British sun arose resplendent
and bristling with audacity. Since the
death OF Frederick, continues the cores
pondent, Mackenzie has discovered a
cancer, and the final word has not yet
been spoken.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, July 15.-Fire
broke out yesterday morning in the old
Ben Holiday stone mansion on the
ophir Farm, about three miles from this
place, now owned by Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, OF the Tribune. The building was
one OF the famous landmarks in West
chester county, having been standing
for over two hundred years.
Last year Mr.. Reid purchased the
place from the estate Of John Roche and
commenced the reftting Of the interior
upon magnificent scale. His dining
room, fifty by twenty-three feet, was
finished in hard wood, with heavy cary
ings over the doors OF clusters OF fruit
and various kinds OF game. The fresco-
ing OF the fourteen rooms on the first
flooris magnificent.
There were in all fiity-four large rooms
in the castle, which were all finished and
decorated.
The origin OF the fire is not definitely
known, but 1t is due TO defective flue
or the presence Of the electric wires
The loss on the building will reacl
nearly $500, 900; insured for about two
thirds that amount. The question O
rebuilding the castle will be determine,
in the future, after the condition Of th
walls, which are still standing, hay
been examined.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 15.-on We'd
nesday last there was a reunion of Con-
federate soldiers at Merritts, Lexington
county. This place is many miles from
any railroad or telegraph line. News of
a fatal fight at the reunion has just
reached here. Among those present at
the gathering were two brothers named
Reedy and Manuel Williams. The Reedy
brothers were wild, rough men, who had
the reputation OF being great fighters,
While Williams was mere youth, and
was quietly disposed.
The two Reedys attempted to run
over Williams and amuse themselves at
his expense. Williams finally resented
it, and attacked the Reedys. The young
man was armed and knew how to use
his weapon. Drawing a pistol with one
hand apd knife in the other he planted
his knife into the heart OF one OF the
Reedys and shot the other dead. He has
made no attempt to escape, and has not
been arrested.
