Charles Martin, Il young man of
this village, was killed last Friday by
the overturning OF a load OF wood he
was hauling from the timber south
east of Cresco. Not returning as ex-
pected his brother went to ascertain
the cause of detention and found him
beneath his load of logs and pole
wood by the side of the road, dead.
He seems to have been walking BY
the side of his load when the runner
dropped into a ditch that was oh
scured by the snow with the result
above stated. He was about "a years
Of age. His parents and friends have
the sympathy of the public in their
sudden bereavement.

Duncan Acquitted.

Dispatches from Carnarvon under date
of Tuesday the l4-h, state that Mr.. R.
&. Duncan has been acquitted of the
murderous attempt up III the life of his
wife, upon the ground OF Insanity. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty. Evan Eva ans
quarrymau, testified as to how he had
found Duncan on May 81 STOPPING over
the PROSTATE form OF his wife and hold,
ing a large blood covered stone in his
hands. Mrs Dune IN S head was terribly
battered. The prisoner SO soon as he
saw Evans shouted:
"MY wife is i'll; fetch doctor! My
wife has fallen down the rocks"
The witness afterwards sent for DR..
Jones, of Dolwyddelan.
Duncan, it appeared from futher testi-
mony, told the doctor that the injury
was caused by Mrs. Duncan falling from
the rocks
Medical evidence was introduced by
the prosecution which tended to contra
dict the prisoners theory that his wife
sustained her injuries by falling upon her
head, and DR.. Jones also testified that
Duncan had admitted to him that he
had inflicted the injuries upon his wife
adding that he had lost $50 900 recently,
that he was penniless and that he inten-
ded to drown his wife
The prosecution insisted that there
was no ground for the plea of insanity
I made by counsel for the defense. Dun
cans actions, according to abe prosecu-
! ton, showed that the prisoner had plan
ned crafty, premeditated murder, and
that, failing to drown his wife, he inten.
ded to murder her in some other way
and then escape to the United States.
| Counsel for the defense replied that
United States specialists i'll insanity had
examined Duncan two years ago, and
had declared that his mind was unhinged
Consequently, these physicians advised
| the prisoners relatives to have him con-
fined in an asylum. Duncan's friends,
however, preferred to send him to
Europe in the hope that change OF
sence. life and climate would have a
beneficial effect upon him.
| After further testimony had been been
furnished for and against the prisoner,
the latter was acquitted on the ground
| Duncan be detained in custody.

That Democratic Ticket.

PEINCIrIO, July 0, 1891.
EDITOR WING =
Having made a careful study of the
political tricks and lodges resorted to by
the leaders of Young Democracy, as we'll
as of the feeling of the people in regard
to the same, | write few lines for your
paper. The convention was nothing short
of "a colossal fraud, and has fomented
factional bitterness more than anything
that ever happened within the ranks of
the Democratic party of Cecil county.
In this, the Sixth district, the campaign
began two months prior to the primaries
Money was lavishly spent in buying
votes. These vampires or men who specu-
late on the elective franchise, paid from
two TO five dollars head for those who
could be bought to support the Writ
ticket. Where the money came from |
do not know, but surely these politicians
do not spend money for the glory there
is in politics Then what kind of legis
lation may we expect at their hands
should they be elected? We may expect
them to willingly serve corporations and
MOI opolies of every kind for it is to
these huge corporations that they must
look for reimbursement. In the dis
trict over the creek, there was no pri-
mary held, aud tho men who represented
that district had no more right to sit in
the convention than so many meu from
Baltimore Citv would have had, and
there is not a man on the ticket whose
nomination was not illegally made, aud
gigantic proportions. Do the planners
and plotters of it imagine that honest
Democrats are gong to stand by ticket
gotten up in such a manner as this one
was. II they do, they will realize their
mistake on election day. The people
everywhere are dissatisfied and they are
speaking in no uncertain tones. Even
some OF the candidates are getting
scared, and well may they tremble with
fear, for tie hand writing will appear ON
the poll books, telling of their defeat
which means hat the days of ring rule
have passed away. Mr.. Writ offered a
resolution requesting the delegates in
case they should be elected, to vote for
the re- election of Senator German. This
resolution makes plain the fact that these
delegates accepted the nomination, bound
and tied hand and foot to MIR. Writ and
his ring. But any one who is not binder
than mole can plainly see that this reso-
luton was but blind.
Mr.. Writ has always been pronounced
enemy to Senator German 1t is to be
hoped that honest voters may get tc-
gether and select ticket of men who
will know swindle when they see it,
and have the blck bone to step upon it
when they do see it. Then as the waves
OF the sea vainly dash against the rock
of Gibraltar and foam out their wrath
and fury there. SO will this political gang
waste their energies aud scatter their
hopes. STRAIGHT GOODS.
