The ghost of the colored man no longer
serves the purpose of the political dema-
e-Cdnditt0te M0h0ne's address at the Nor
folk C0ncenti0n..
No? Well, the ghost must have been
laid very recently. 1t was only last Fall
that State Chairman Malone was SO. afraid
that single ghost of Il colored man, y
Hon. Edward Langston, would get to Con-
gress from the 4th district, that he first
tried to beat him out of the Republican
nomination, and failing in that put up Il
candidate against him so that the Republic
can vote would be divided and a Democrat
elected to Congress. The ''ghost Of the
colored man. appeared very awful to the
General then, for he declared that no colored
man should go to Congress. If candidate
Malone thinks the ghost of the colored
man will be any more acceptable to the peo-
pie of Virginia i'll their State government,
than he was to him rs u candidate for Con-
gress, he has very much mistaken the sen
timent of the white people of the State on
that point.

You had as well he prepared for Mahone's
methods; they will be repeated this fall,
When he made the fight to hold the State
government in 1888, one of his methods was
that of intimidation. An old man, over
sixty years of age, and one of the most re-
spected in the county, Capt. William Black

boro, in the height of the campaign, by a
Deputy U. S. Marshal on warrant issued
ON the oath of Negro thief named Charles

been indicted for larceny charging him
with having inundated a voter, 1.-THE said
Negro thief one gear before, at the cleo
ton for congressman in 1882. The veneer
able gentleman was taken from his home
and carried to Harrisonburg. 1t was clear

and our people may look for similar outrag
es in this election.

EX-Gov. CAMERON WILL NOT VOTE FOR
MALONE.

A Petersburg correspondent of the Balti,

"Ex-Gov. Cameron, being asked to-day as to
what part his wing of the party would take in
the political fight next fall, replied that he
could not tell yet but speaking for himself
he should not vote for Malone. He did not
think they would put up any candidate for
Governor, but might have candidates for the
State Senate. Mr.. Cameron said they would
hold a convention some time soon to determine
on some plan of action, but when and where
this convention would be held had not vet
been fixed upon"

HUDSON, N. Y., Dec. 2O.-John Cam eron of Plainfield, N.J., one of the con tractors who are building the Kinder hook and Hudson Railroad, was arrested at tho Hotel Lincoln on warrant is- sued by Recorder Getty. A charge of grand larceny was made by the Kin derhook x Hudson Railroad Company. The amount of the alleged steal is S9, 597, and others are implicated in the theft.
 A report that Cameron had skipped with the wages due his workmen was circulated among the Italians employed on the railroad at Stuyvesant and they became so frenzied that a riot ensued and it was thought that Deputy Sheriff Glow would be unable to cope with them. They threatened to burn the village and plunder the place if the wages due them was not forthcoming at once.
 Bloodshed was threatened and affairs assumed serious aspect. Deputy Sheriff Glow called to his assistance number of villagers to quiet the disturbers. When an arrest was made the other Italians would come to the rescue of their countryman and attempt to take the prisoner away from the officer. Five Italians were finally made prisoners ana brought to this city.

 CLEVELAND, Dec. 2O.--The inhabit- ants of Loveland, this State, are excited over an outrageous crime committed by Prof. P J. Carmichael, superintendent of the East Loveland public school. Carmichael is charged with writing obscene letters to the young pupils of the schools of which he was superin- tendent. The outrageous letters seem to be the handiwork of a fiend. In them is used tho foulest language. It is claimed they were written to boys with girls names signed to them, and to girls with boys names signed to them, and their diabolical mission seems to have been to contaminate the lives of these young people, so that some one else could profit thereby.
 A committee of citizens after inves ti- gating the matter confronted Car michael with the charge. He made a virtual confession and the indignant citizens gave him twenty -four hours to leave town. which he gladly promised to do

 That organization has caused peti- tions to be placed in every county in Iowa. addressed to the General Assem- bly, asking that body to elect Gov. Lar rabee to tue Senate. The petition says the siguers have observed the course of Wm. Larrabce as Governor of Iowa and Wm. E.

AN HISTORIC SPOT

For Waterbury People to Remember,
 While pedestrians are passing the west side of South Main street, looking at the site of the old building which has been torn down, very few are familiar with the history of this memorable'place. In Rev olutionary times this house was occupied by family named Curtis. The head of this family, Isaac Curtis, was patriot of the most pronounced type, and when Washington was passing through this sec tion, Curtis offered him the hospitality of the house; and here for two days the Father of his Country conferred with his boon friends John Adams, Benjamin the year 17S0. The people from all around came to this spot to catch glimpse of the GREAT WASHINGTON. The property has changed hands many times since and always proved a good investment to the owner Here it was that the HON c. B. WEBSTER laid the foundation of his large fortune in the painting business. CHARLES DEAN, the famous police officer also piled the brush at this ancient establishment CHARLES THATCHER, to make his wealth here. Joseph Archan- bault, the successful South Main street grocer, had to leave here for larger q uar- ters Jos Bibro, whose wagons can be seen on the street daily, did thriving business here Miller & Peck, the world renowned dry goods men, would have had the property seven years ago, only they did not reach home from New York before it was sold. They always regretted it. The Hon E. C. Lewis, the wealthy Iron King, who can turn any kind of metal into gold, had his eye on this spot with a view to the erection of PUBLIC ART GALLERY in pemory of WASHINGTON and his compatriots. The property fell into the hands of Charles Pritchard, the MAYOR OF WEST SIDE HILL, who sold it to the Waterbury Furniture com pany in 1883. It was always known as 1.-THE LUCKY SPOT." Contractors Thompson& Hurlburt have preserved parts of the ancient structure to be exhibited in the lobby of the new postoffice when built.
 It is in keeping with the success of the Waterbury furniture company Una, It should fall into their hands, as it will now branch out into MAMMOTH FURNI- TURF HOUSE. When we throw our doors open the first of next March for the Spring trade, it will be to the people of New Haven county like the BIRTH OF A NEW REPUBLIC.
 Our friends will find at eur store on Grand street great display Qfi everything in the Furniture line for Xmas. Come and see our five floors and judge for yourselves. We are little crowded for room at present. but our low prices and character of the house is selling the goods.
 A Merry Christmas, one and all,
 And joy be with you now and ever:
 Buy your goods, both great and small,
 And then from us you'll never sever.

The verdict of the jury has told mora heavily upon him than any one else. because of the feeble state of his health, and he is literally crushed During tho trial he was greatly bnoyed mp by the hope of acquittal held out to him by his attorney. Several times he was. those who watched him thought, on the point of making a confession, but his coun- sol's cheering words, acting like a tonic, reused him from his Respondent mood. The verdict of the jury found him com pletely unprepared and it. unnerved him. He rallied slightly at the thought of a new trial. bringing possibly free dom, but it was only temporary, and he now looks upon such an attempt as a useless expenditure of time and la Dor.

 O'Sullivan insists to those who call upon him that he is innocent of partici- patton or in knowledge of the crime.
 There is story which is probable, though not yet authenticated, that late Tuesday night as the turnkey was pass ing O'Sullivan's cell. he heard moaning and suddenly the exclamation:
 Il cannot face my Maker with this load upon my mind!'
 These words were uttered in the pitt ous tones of desparing man. The turn key stepped to the door and peered through the bars. At first glance he saw no one, but, raising his lantern over his head, he looked and saw the iceman lying on his cot with his face close to the wall. Moans came from him and mumbling, unintelligible to the listener. The prisoner seemed to
 be in great pain.

 O'Sullivan started up in he'd and turn ed a pale face toward the questioner. He stared at him, and for several moments did not answer.
