" "ARTHUR RICHMOND"

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Within the past decade there has been
no event in the American world of letters
which has provoked such wide comment
and excited so large a measure of curiOs-
ity as the publication in the North Amer-
lean Rerie1C of a series of letters to prom
inent persons under the nom de plume of
Arthur Richmond" The two distinct
i've characteristics of the letters were the
extreme bitterness of personal and parti-
san feeling which they betrayed and the
marked excellence and vigor of their lit
erary form.
Shortly after the recent death of Mr..
Allen Thorndyke Rice an attempt was
made to establish conclusively and per
manently the fact that he was not only
responsible for their publication, but that
he had written the Arthur Richmond let
ters. After this attempt was made Mr.
Rice's close friends thought that the real
authors should come forward and assume
the responsibility for the letters, but as
they have not done SO the veil of mystery
has been lifted. We have it on unim-
peachable authority, in fact, from the
mouth of gentleman who was a close
personal friend of Mr. Rice and had Op-
portunities to see the manuscripts, that
this series of letters was written by Julian
Hawthorne and Gail Hamilton.

Foraker's all right.

LET us have no gang ticket in Bel
mont County this year. The tendency
in some quarters is Enthusiastically in
the wrong direction.
Republicans of the County must be
aroused to this danger, and see that nc
combinations nor other hurtful things
unnecessarily load them down in the
canvass before them. They must or
ganize themselves against the improper
use of money in nominations, and against
combinations to control their COnyen.
tion.
THE CHRONICLE has no candidate fol
any of the offices to be filled, but does
insist that good men shall be nominated
and that the candidates chosen shall be
the free choice of the Republicans of the
County. Any other kind of ticket
will endanger party success.

1sel1,tn1tt Chronicle.
THURSDAY, JULY IL, 1889.

BELMONT COUNTY voted in Conven-
ton solidly against the denomination of
Governor Foraker. Probably there was
no County in the State in which there
was more clearly defined opposition
among Republicans to his denomination
than in this; but there is goOd-natured
acquiescence in the action of the Con-
vention, and our Republicans will 10y
ally support the ticket.
The distinct declaration of the Gov
ernor that he is a candidate for nothing
else, and that if elected he will serve the
term through, has simplified matters
greatly. His administrations have been
brilliant, successful, honest, and econ
omical, and command the respect of the
people. The office has, practically, nc
patronage, and the declaration that
man should not ill it six years in sue
cession is absurd.
Foraker's all right.

ANOTHER IOHNST0WN

Saratoga IN. " Special, July 3.
The people of Amsterdam state that a
waShOut at Aiken, n. Y, three miles
West of there, has torn up 400 feet of
track and cut off communication with the
West. A'h6ther the washout was caused
by clOud-burSt at Aiken, or by the
breaking of dam at .JOhnstOwn, y. Y,
as rumOred, can not be aScertained Am
sterdam reports an exceedingly heavy
rainstOrm ia that section just before com
municatiOn was cut off. Aiken is on the
New York Central, and creek, which
furnishes water-pOwer to several mills,
runs through the place. .JOhnstOwn is on
the JOhnstowp and GlOyerSville railroad,
four miles North of Fonda.
Troy IN. W Special July 8
There are reports here that three big
dams were washed away near ,johnstOWn,
and that crowds of people got on bridge
to watch the flood and it was carried off
and several people were drowned.
1t seems impossible to get any particu-
lars here this evening as to how bad the
break is or how long it will take to repair
it. Some of the trains hurrying to make
up lost time narrowly escaped the cloud
burst. but all did escape.
LATER-A telephone from JOhnstOwn
says: The town is in total darkness. Nine
bridges were washed away, and also three
skin mills at Mayersville. One body has
been recovered. The water is three feet
deep in the town of Fonda.
At II tonight rain is falling in torrents
in JOhnstown, and the flood is assuming
terrible proportions. Mills and sheds are
being carried rapidly away.

with clubs, stones and pistols. was fired
upon by the police in turn and was only
routed when charged upon with the
bayonet by the militia. Two persons
were killed outright and fifteen were

mob rule was the quick mobilization of
the police and militia and their prompt
action.

The best portion of the town caught fire

made homeless.
