Ingalls, is Sorry He Spoke.
New York Graphic.

The indications are that Mr.. ingalls,
made the greatest mistake of his life in
that ill-advised speech on Tuesday.
Until that TRADE came from his lips
he was regarded as standingan equal
chance for the presidential nomination
with Sherman, Hiscock, Hawley and
all the dark horses
Now he is out of the race entirely.
That is what his friends say, and his
friends out to know. They deplore the
fact that ne should have made such a
bitter attack on the eSouthern people and
at the same time made such a palpabl"
bid for the nomination by appealing to
the sentiment and war memories of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
It was an insult to the intelligence of
these veterans. They saw through the
subterfuge at once, and it looks as if
they will resent it in way that Mr..
ingalls, will understand.
ingalls, is sorry he spoke.

Cleveland can reconcile a second term
with his published statement to the
effect that he was opposed to a second
term. Mr.. Cleveland has said nothing
about the matter recently. The officer

THE DEADLY WEAPON.


the smallest end, two inches at the butt,
murderous weapon. The butt end
was covered with blood. This club had
been used upon Mr.. Buff.
At the back Of the house were found
evidences that the murderer, surprised
by Mr.. Kraft, had dashed through the
window and fallen upon MS hands and
feet. His tracks showed that he had
sprung up and made for the railroad,
running across the cotton patch at Il
high rate of speed. Judging by his
tracks, this man must have weighed
about $50 pounds, and he wore pair
Of No. : shoes, which We're coinpara-
lively new.
Mr.. Buff was in bed in the front
room of his house. He gained con-
sciousncss now and then, but could give
no intelligent answers toany questions.
His skull is not broken, and it IS bel!cv-
ed that the reason he is still alive is that
the first blow was struck by the muir
derer when he was two feet below his
victim and that the blow lost much of
its force.
MRS. BUFF's STATEMENT.
The reporter crossed the river and
called at Mr.. Huttman's residence,
where Mrs Buffwas. The poor woman
was in bed with her head bandaged.
She was suffering very much and did
not expect that she would live. She
said that about 80 last evening man
was talking to her husband on the
porch and Knocked him down, and that
then Il stout, heavy set negro rushed
into the room where she was and
knocked her to the floor. She tried to
get up, but he kicked her about the
room until she WAS nearly dead. Her
husband called to her and the man told
some one outside to hit the old man
again, and she heard the blows of the
club. The negro demanded tie keys
to the desk and to an clubhouse. She
told him the desk w;is open and to take
everything but their lives. The man
went into another room, and the next
thing the poor woman knew she found
herself on the Lexington side of the
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1888-03-07
Warned While Asleep

ION the night before the battle ot
Fredericksburg my companion had

ground" said Captain Isaac Cooper, a
Jolly veteran at Pelham. 1--WE were
ali very tired, so it was no wonder that
as soon as L laId down l was fast
asleep.
That night 1 had dream. The
only part of it that could remember
the next morning was that 1 had lost
my leg. How my dream had me lose
1t could not recall though L tried hard
to recollect. 1t was a very singular
dream, as after events proved.
My regiment was in the thick of
the battle. We fought very hard. The
roar of the cannon was appalling and
men fell all around us. As the battle
was growing thicker our standard
bearer suddenly jumped In front and
fell to the ground dead. at the same
time one of the 'rebs, noticing this,
sprapp forward intending TO capture
the colors, but was too quick for him.
| grabbed him and we began TO wrestle
for the flag.
ssThe wrestle was cut short by can
non ball striking US, killing the poor
.reo' instantly and carrying my leg
away entirely at the same time. fell
TO the ground, still conscious, but re-
tanning my hold on the colors until one
of INV comrades took them from me.
