The secent cold wave caused heavy
losses to our planters as all the cane
was cut down and a large amount killed,
thus putting back the crop at least a
month. A great deal OF corn had been
worked out, all of which was killed and
the land will have to be replanted.
Some that was just up was only cut OF
but not seriously injured. Japan plums,
which we're ripening in great abundance,
were all destroyed and other frnit dam
aged more or less. A great many gar
dens had been commenced early and all
kinds of vegetables were far advanced,
nearly all of which are completely de-
strayed. Had the warm weather con-
tinuea many of our citizens would have

The Contradictions.

Special Telegram 10 The Regtster.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA. September ~.
In contradiction OF the IateiIigcnccr'S
report Of the meeting at Wilsonburg
and the injustice to Mr.. Pcndleton, are
the following statements from Mr.
Francis and Mr.. Sommers:
Il was present u the meeting at
Wilsonburg on Saturday night, the eth
inst, and heard the .peech of the Hon.
John O. Pendlcton. The dispatch from
Clarksbuag othe Wheeling Mtcligcnccr
of the 18th, purp0rting to give an
account of said meeting, and stat
ing that Pcndieton'S speech was Il
perfect TRADE against Atkinson. who,
he saws. dared not become 4 candidate
against him, and that he abused every
one connected with the Republican
party and used many of his stock in
trade epithets, isIa pure Justification,
and Justification OH the part OF the IN
tclligcRccr correspondent, who must have
drawn upon his Imagination for his
facts. Mr.. Pendleton'S speech was eX-
tremely courteous to every one, and he
said sothing of the Kind imputed to him
to which any fair minded opponent
could take exception. Having heard
the speech ! write this in the interest
OF truth and in justice to Mr.. Pendleton.
Signed VI. J. FRANCIS.
Il was present a. the meeting re-
ferred TO and endorse the statement of
Mr.. Francis. 1t is absolutely correct.
The report of the H.iclligmccr reporter
is n lie. John O.. Pendleton never
made better Spccci in his life. aud he
used no language that would not have
been proper in the II ost select social as
semblage in the State. He talked tar
! iff and pleased tho people. He dis
Sccted the force bill and the audience
endorsed him. He said that Atkinson
was afraid to rim and that the
Republican bosses were afraid
to nominate him. lie made
that statement, aud that statement is
true but he INDUCED in no personal
abuse of either Atkinson or any other
member Of the Republican party. The
Democracy of Wilsonburg admircS John
O. Pendleton.
! lSignod CAMDEN SOMllEE~.
Mr.. Pcndleton, iusln interview with
your reporter, said that the L4tciii-
Gcnccr had better have its correspond
cnt at the meeting tao next time. He
will then probably try to tell some
! truths. When he H. absent his mag
nation is a dangerous thing to turn
loose in the paper. 1t is further fact
that Mr.. SommerS did not make speech
at the meeting.

Requested to Explain.

OTTAWA, ONr., September 29.-From
what can be gathered i'm official circles
here. the captain of the Government
cruiser Critic has made serious mis-
take i'm scizing the American fishing
schooner Davy Crockett, at Sours, Prince
Edward Island. on the Goth inst.
The commanders OF Canadian cruiS-
crs were instructed To- avoid making
seizures unless under exceptional cir
cumstauccs. II was the wish OF the
Dominion Government that every cause
that might rise a dispute over the At
lantic fisheries should Dee avoided this
year. while the Bering Sea question was
in the balance.
The captain of the Critic has been rec
queStcd 90 explain his action at once,
and if there is a possible chance oiclear-
Ing the seized schooner il will Doe done.

No CHANGE.
VIII sun be Junior Order United American
Mechanics

PrrrsHUEG, September 29.-The name
Jr. O. l.. a. VI. is apt to remain un-
changed. The friends of the change are
beginning to think that the outlook for
them is rather bad. Ohio, which was
expected to give solid vote in favor Of
the new name, is split. The state will
give large majority in favor OF the
change, but it was counted for more
than it can give.
Ncw'Jersey has gone back on the ca
pectatonS Of the friends of the change.
So has Virginia, and Western PennSyl-
vania has disappointed them. In this
State and especially IN this county the
vote has been great surprise. 1t
was thought that Allegheny county
would be solid for the change, but the
vote is virtually q tie. However, Il
number of the big Councils vote to-
night and tomorrow night and these
may change the anticipated result. 1t
is only necessary that a majority vote in
favor of the change. Since 10 is so
close 10 may require some days TO learn
the result
