ssHAsD.oN, MALONE. Mcssrs. Chea.
die, Of Indiana, and Brumm, OF Penn
sylvania, were invited by Geqeral Ma
honeto stump the State Of Virginia IN
his interest. They had an appointmen t
at Cumberland Court House, in Cum
berland County, which hes very
heavy Negro majority, and the Dcmo-
Gratis made no attempt to meet them,
supposing it would be hopeless case to
make any contest there. So the two
Republicans alone, addressed very
large negro assembly, discussing at
length the intricacies of the tariff aud
other questions Of national Importance
and went on to speak in the highest
terms of General Malone, his Rcpubli,
caDism, his friendship for the negro and
how much he had done to elevate them
and help them assert their rights.
A negro In tho audience by tho name
of Hughes, before the meeting ad-
Journed, requested that he might be
frsm tho North, and 4s 4srdtfKfsRa tKR Ssm IS .? len
Cheadle as Mr.. Beadlc, aud MIR, Brumm
as Mr.. Bruen, sarcastically likeniug
them to the animals those names repre-
seuted. After discussing other matters
agitated in the campaign, he. finally
took up the question of General Ma
homes love for the negro, saying he
would illustrate how much tho General
loved the negro by repeating dream he
had bad the night before. III

Then General Malone said: You get

The sequel was that this county OF
Cumberland, which ha! previously
given 800 Republican majority, was
carried by the Democrats by about 15O
and the first time thoy had carried it in
20 years.

raised by phantom farmer, who is
nightly seen plowing in field The
apparition Was first discovered about
three weeks ago by fern

from courting 4 pretty maid.

Il sCpulchral voice commanding n

that moment the new moon stolo over
the nclghbor!ns tree tops, and in its
misty light the rural swain plainly
saw the phantom farmer. 1t was
clearly outlined against the dark back
ground, and its two hands held in
steady grasp the projecting handles Of
plow. Before it marched pair Of
spirited horses. dimly outlined in tho
misty light, their heads erect and
their eyes flashing fire rs they moved

that Cooper was drawing the long bow.
The upshot Of the matter was that the
crowd adjourned to tho alleged scene

making a Board OF thirteen. We
would nominate as one of the six
Trustees TO be elected, Capt. j. H.
Shanklin, the honorcd President of
the Oconcc County Farmers Alli-

liberal education, his counsel in
the organization Of the College and

A Terrible Catastrophe at Gas Well in
Indiana.

KEOKoMA, IND, October 9.-The
second accident in the history of the
Keokoma gas belt occurred at Jerome,
fifteen miles east of Keokoma, on Mon
day night, in which Chusa Norman
was instantly killed, Frank I.arue had
had leg broken and amputated, Hi
ram Overnan had his skull fractured
and John Hague was probably fatally
burned.
A large crowd had gathered at this
well, which is the strongest one in the
State, to witness a gas display. Sixty
feet Of four inch pipe was laid from the
well, terminating in a vertical elbow
four feet in height. The young man
who applied the torch foolishly turned
this elbow down to lie on the ground,
and just as the gas ignited the tremen-
dous force flung the sixty feet of pipe
around, striking and burning every
thing within its reach. A large num-
ber were injured in addition to the
aboye. Mormon was a preacher in the
Friends Church, was IS years of age,
and had been long resident of this
city. He leaves a wife and five grown
children. He was pinned to wire
fence by the end of the flaming pipe
and was roasted to death, being almost
consumed.
