FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
UNIONTOWN.

Mr.. Thomas Boyd killed a large snake
a few days since. and as it looked in
size about like an old-fashioned bow
legged umbrella, the curiosity of Mr..
Moore and Mr.. Boyd was excited, and a
post HiOTtem examination was the result.
and it was ascertained that the mother
snake had swallowed Sc of her offspring.
"TOny" and Thomas congratulated
themselves that they had ten ahead of
the Enquirer Snake EditOr-but now,
Jacob Lilly reports 125, which is as far
as any mans integrity will stretch with

Mrs. Lee has been closing out the two
stores owned by her late husband. and
the rush for goods has been almost un-
precedented. She is sacrificing heavily,
and persons have travelled a great dis
tance to secure bargains. Shoes sold as
low as 10 cents per pair, and other
goods in proportion. The stock is still
large and of the best, and bargains
await those who may call for them.
Miss Catharine Hays was taken seri-
Ously i'll on Saturday evening, and is
still very low and suffering much pain.
Mr.. Isaac Brokaw is suffering from
the effects of a gathering at the base

The card of invitation issued by the

POLITICAL NOTES.

EX-SENATOR MAHONE claims that
Virginia will give 10000 Republican
majority this fall.
THERE is some talk of a joint discus
sion of the tariff question between
Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Blaine
Hon. ALLEN G. THURMAN has ae-
cepted an invitation to speak at Chel-
tenham Beach, near Chicago, August %.
FIVE hundred workmen for Wickerie
Bros, wire cloth manufacturers of Ithaca
\. Y, have signed petition against
free trade.
Mr.. HARRISON and Mr. Cleveland are
both Presbyterians, but Mr.. Harrison
goes to church on Sunday and Mr.. Cleve-
land goes fishing.
\ NEPHEW of the late Vice-President
Hendricks, who is law partner of Sen
ator Turpie, and has always been a Dem
ocrat, favors Harrison this year.
BELvA LOCKWOOD says the name OF
her real opponent in the contest for the
Presidency of the United States is Fran
ces Folsom Cleveland, and not Grover
Cleveland.
GEN. BEN BUTLER says: Il oppose
free wool now because if we admit it to
the free list We can't keep our granger
friends next year from taking off the
tariff on the manufactured goods"
AN enthusiastic Illinoisan, of Jack
Sonville, who 'went to Indianapolis will,
the Illinois delegation to see our next
President" writes to the editor of the
Burlington Ha1Cbeye: "Of all sweet
words of tongue or pen, the sweetest are
these: we will have Ben"
SENATOR SHERMAN doesn't believe
that the United States and Great Britain
are going to fight about the fisheries, or
else. Senator Evarts is equal
ly sanguine. Senator HOar takes the
same view. Senator Morgan on the
contrary, thinks the danger a real one.
BLAINE, in his first speech, chose New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut as
the battle ground. Blaine was conscious
of the fact that no public man of great
prominence ever lived in either of the
three States, of any party, that was not
a tariff man and advocated protection
in some shape, and that if the Demo
cratic party could be put before the
country as free trade party, victory
in those States would be certain for his
party.

TIE Democratic State Committee are
using the Postmasters to circulate a
campaign paper called "The Tax Reform
Advocate" printed under their direc-
ton, at Columbus, and sent to persons
who do not subscribe, which is a palpa-
bic violation of the law. A, the Bell
aire Post office we saw two persons in
ten minutes open copies of tIis Demo
cratic document which had been ad-
dressed to them, and say that they had
not subscribed for it or authorized it to
be sent to them. Never befDre were
there such clear, open violations of the
law as are perpetrated under his pre-
tended reform administration. Such
documents are only allowed to go
through the mails when the regular
postage is paid in stamps upon the docu-
ment, but there were no stamps on
those handed out.-BeHdire Tribune.

ON THE OHIO SIDE.

The rain began to fall gently at Ii
o'clock on Monday night, but at , the
next morning it became heavier and with
out cessation, during the entire day il
came down in torrents. We are not ap-
priSed of serious damage back from the
river front, but as usual, the streams put
ting in at the river carried a vast amount
of debris, and worked considerable dam
age to roads and railways. At Clark's Run,
Martins Ferry, the water covered the C.
& p. tracks.
No especial damage was done at Bridge
port .iThepike West of that place, at Soap
town and Broekunier's was submerged.
a section of the c. & p. trestle at Whis-
ky Run was washed away, and the c., L.
Il W. trestle at that point was slightly
damaged. Landslides along the main
line of the c., L. Il w. interfered slightly
with the movement of trains but no Sc
rious damage is reported.
In the neighbOrhood of Bellaire the
corn on the lOwlands was flooded, and
the shanties in the low grounds were
flooded. -Some washOuts occurred on the
roads leading to the city.
On the b. Il o. the bridge at Robin
sons Coal Works, West of Bellaire, was
carried away, and some freight cars, it is
said, which were standing upon it, were
carried down. Passengers and baggage
were transferred.
No serious damage is reported to the
b., Z. & c. R.R.
Altogether, considering the violence
and length of the storm the railroads have
come off well.

THE PROSPECTv
New York Sun Dem.)

New York Sun (Dem.)
One of the most unapathetic workers
at present on the Democratic side of the
canvass is Mr.. Henry George, and he dis
cusses the situation with aggressive in
terest and interior information of quail
ty to demand the serious notice of every
Democrat less intimately connected with
the central powers of the campaign. In
his last Standard Mr. George writes as
follows:
''As an indication of the temperature
at the Democratic headquarters, l am
informed by Don Piatt, editor of Bel
.fOrdS Magazine, that he called there a
few days ago with Mr. Robt. Belford,
publisher of the Wagazine They met,
there Col. Tracy, one of the confidential
men in charge of an important depart
ment. Col. Piatt said to Col Tracy:
From information received from the
agents of BelfOrd, Clarke & Co., who
have been instructed to inquire into and
report on the condition of the country
politically, | have learned that we have
at the present lost Connecticut and New
Jersey beyond doubt, and that we will
lose New York unless something is
done Col. Tracy replied: 1T is of no
use; we need not try to blind ourselves
to the fact that we can not stand up
against the cry of free trade"
Mr.. George is irritated at the circum-
stance that Mr.. Cleveland has sin the
official lead of of his fight men who are
against him upon the issue on which he
must either win or lOse"-men like
Chairman Barnum and Col. Brice, for
instance, who, as George alleges, refrain
from the effort to convince the masses
that protection is sham and robbery"
The Presidents splendid chances" he
continues, shave thus far been frittered
away by the cowardice and treachery of
those whom he has had the weakness or
misfortune to allow to run his campaign,
and who will Hancock him if he per
mits it." The only hope, in this emf
nent free traders view, is for Mr.. Cleve-
land to "cut the balky horses in his
lead from the traces"
Very possibly if Mr.. Georges oppor
tunltles OF investigation permitted, he
might find that the most balky horse in
the Democratic team is the Hon. Gro
yer Cleveland himself.
The blatant support, first on free trade
grounds, and next on land tax grounds, |
that Henry George is proffering to the
Democratic party is injurious and dan
gerOus, and we dare say Mr.. Cleveland
it at its real value 1t tends
to make the workingmen of the country
believe that his campaign is in the in
terest of free trade.
No wonder that in the estimation of |
Henry George Mr.. Cleveland balks.

MIR. BLAINE'S HOUSE.

Augusta NIaine) Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Blaine's home is on State street.
on which are the homes of many of the
Oldest and most prominent families of
the city and State. The houses are of
ample and substantial styles of archi-
lecture that prevailed a generation ago,
and Mr.. Blaine's is no exception. His
house was first built in 1880, when the
State Capitol, which is just across the
street, was yet uncompleted. When he
first came to Augusta in 1858 Mr.. Blaine
lived in house in Green street, owned
by Jacob StanwoOd, Mrs. Blaine's father,
and it was not until 1868, while he was
serving his first term in Congress, that
Mr.. Blaine bought the place opposite
the capitol. He has remOdeled and
added to the old house, but it is a house
without any pretensions to magnificance
or elegance. The large, neatly kept
lawn, shaded by spreading butternut and
maple trees, is no more extensive than
many other lawns in Augusta; the only
thing about the whole establishment
that would attract the strangers atten-
ton is the plate on the front door, 81.

not like her first name, which commenced

"the law knows but one Christian name,

"GATH," has interviewed Dunlap, the

work 700 hands. At the last election |
set in for Grover Cleveland and used my
best influence with my men to accom-
plish his election. NowI don't think
he will get vote out of the establish
ment. Mr.. Cleveland has taken the
gratuitous pains to disturb such estab-
lishments as mine, and l think we will
remind him at the election that we ap-
preciate his attention" That is a sam
pie of the drift of affairs in New York
and New Jersey, and no mistake.

A GENEROUS ACT REWARDED.

A GENEROUS ACT REWARDED.
Erie ('a.) Letter, August 90
Four years ago Conrad Shenfield was
a drunken, penniless outcast in this city,
having squandered large fortune ac-
quired in business. His friends and rel
atives had to disown him. Shenfield
went to Murphy's temperance meeting
and took the blue ribbon. He wanted
to go West and make another fortune,
and an old friend, Colonel Chas. Lynch,
loaned him 5000 and the old man went
to New Mexico. Last Tuesday he died
in Kansas City. To-day certified tran
script of his will was registered in this
Court, leaving members of his family
and relations nominal bequestS of a few
dollars each, and S150,000 worth of real
and personal property to Colonel Lynch,
besides valuable mining property at AL
buquerque. Colonel Lynch had been in
bad luck, and Shenfeld's bounty was
God-send.

OCCASIONALLY one hears a Democrat
speak of tariff duties as "war taxes" !"
and complain that because Republicans
are in favor of maintaining a Protect
i've Tariff they are upholding war tar
iff. No osuch thing. The tariff the Dem
ocrats are attempting to strike down be-
came law in May, 1603-only five years
ago, and eighteen years after the close
of the war. The only war taxes now on
our statute books are the internal reve-
nue. taxes, which the Democrats are op-
posed to repeating. There is no question
but what proposition pure and simple
to repeal these taxes would pass both
houses of Congress by large majority,
but the Democratic Boss says it must
not be done, and the Democratic major
ity in the House of Representatives obeys
his orders.

TIE Grover Cleveland Free Trade ad-
ministration has disproven one of the
pet arguments of its advocates that the
amount of duty levied upon foreign
merchandise is added to the cost of the
article in this country. If the duty on
the 1000 wooden blankets purchased by
the present Democratic administration
in foreign country had been added to
the price recently offered to the govern
ment by an American manufacturer
they would have cost $500. But our
home producer offered them for So, ,120
or 81 400 less than they would have cost
if the full duty had been added to the
selling price.

THE GULF OVER ITS BANKS.
HELPING THE RIGHT SIDE

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in general point of view, but
is JudiciOus and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side Of
the body, just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-biliOus medicine of in
comparable efficacy. InactiOn of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache, furred tongue, nausea, occa-
siOnal vertigo, an unpleasant breath, vel
lOwneSs of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver com
plant, routed by the bitUers is accompan-
led by them in its flight Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, dyspep-
sia, rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladies to the early re
lief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in a perfect res
tOratiOn of health. 821m.

find them gentle in their action but true
in their work. Dent be afraid of mer-
curry or anything harmful in them. They
are purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. No use of taking the large, repul-
