CINCINNATI, ONO, July 12.-The Commercial
Gdzette's. Paducah, Ky., special says:
Shortly after O'Clock last evening, while the
city council was in session, the chief of police
threw bomb in their midst by announcing
that report had just reached him that 200 or
800 negroes, armed with Winchester rifles, had
congregated in the vicinity of the Jail, prepared
for an attack. The council at once adjourned.
The mayor at once sent a dispatch to the gov
ernor asking him to order out company c Of
the sta te guard. located here. Every able-bodied
man Is now ON the streets, and everybody that
can obtain arms of any kind is doing so. The
sheriff has charge Of posse, composed Of fifty
or seventy-five men, armed with shotguns and
revolvers, procured from the various hardware
stores.
The underlying cause Of the uprising is the
hanging of Charles Hill, the negro who made
an assault upon Lydia Starr some weeks ago.
They have been secretly obtaining arms for
some time, and something OF this kind has been
looked for at most any time.
The immediate Cause Of the outbreak, a
stated by a negro last night, is the arrest of q
colored man named Thomas Burgess. At II 80
Jail from round Of the squads of negroes, who,
when the mayor and marshal promised that no
violence should be done the prisoner in the
Jail, promised to disperse, and began to do so.
The marshal addressed the crowd Of white peo-
pie and told them to go to their homes, as the
negroes were dispensing and no violence need
now be feared.
This the people began to do and in q few
minutes the crowd was reduced to the militia
and about forty armed citizens.
At exactly IL o'clock q band Of seventy-five
negroes suddenly appeared, marching down
9Th street, and they opened fire upon the men
collected at the Jail At the first fire Elmer
Edwards, young man of twenty years Of age,
fell. shot through the abdomen. He is dying.
He was a member of the militia company and q
harness maker by trade. The fire was returned
by the militia and the armed citizens, and the
negroes beat PERCEPTIONS retreat. The militia
also retreated in disorder back Of the court
negroes had disappeared down the street.
1t is thought some of the negroes are
wounded, although it is impossible as yet to
learn the particulars. The jail and court room
are now filed with the militia and armed citi-
zens.
The negroes retreated back to the Odd Eel
lows Lodge, at which has been their chief head
quarters during the night The police have
arrested over fifty negroes who were found
carrying arms and they are guarded to prevent
any attempt to release them.
The MORALLY wounding Of young Edwards
has aroused a storm of indignation that is kept
from breaking out with difficulty and an at
tempt to avenge his untimely death is almost
certain to be made. Excitement runs high and
at 1 O'Clock this morning the stseets are still
filed with people.

CAMPAIGN POETRY.
A Couple Of Samples From Private Score.

Couple Of Samples From Private Secre-
tary Halford's Collection.
About this time Of the year look out for sun
dry and divers sbullitions of campaign poets,
says the prophet. Verify, hath he wisely
spoken. The Presidents private secretary can
bear witness to it.
Every mail now brings to the White House
copies Of the campaign songs produced
by the budding hureates Of the country.
Truly motley collection they are, too.
The campaign song writer. the comic
valentine writer and the campaign
poet form three of a kind IN ridiculous litera-
ture whereof no two pairs have yet been found
extant to beat them. To the faithful student
Of language the perusal of these creations of
the poets brain would form an intensely
fascinating study, for here would he find the
queens English used with q reckless abandon
betokening the existence of the most luxurious
profusion Of words; he would see the poet cast
on the trammels Of the conventionalities of
language and soar into the blue empyrean Of
license with vigorous wing. exhibiting that
scornful disregard for the petty usages Of verse
and its measurements which only great minds
dare to own.
fantastic nature suitable to the text or gal
Looping, tingling strain, accompanied by asoents
into higher keys, with the blare Of the bassoon
when derisive reference is made 10 the oppo-
sltlon.
Here are few sample of songs received to-
day:
'The trouble has begun and well have lots of
fun;
Boom. boom, da, d. Boom, boom, da, da,
boom!
You get q horn and I'll get gun, and we'll
elect the best republican.
Doom da, ad infinitim, sd nauseam.)
1t may be a close call before the end Of
fall;
ONCE only in four years this chance appears;
VOL be sure, now remember, to get there be-
fore November;
The dems. are not in it, not for . single
minute"
(More boom da's.)
Here is another style:
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, once ran for the
election;
They beat the opposing democrats and did
II to perfection.
We are going to keep it up; keep it up, re-
member.
II you want to see some fun wait until No
vember."
(Nine more verses Of the some style.)

GLADsrONE's SUCCESS CERTAIN.


Liberals Have Made Enough Gains to Garry
Him Into Office.
LONDON, July 12-The results of today's cleo
tons. so far as known up to O'Clock p m,
show sufficient liberal gains to wipe out the
governments majority and assure Mr.. Glad
stones return TO power. The net liberal gain
thus far Is thirty-siX. This gives q majority of
four against the conservatives on division.
The voting Of yesterday brings the aggre-
gate Of the conservative and uniOnist pcll up
TO .344 ,453. and the aggregate OF the liberal
poll. including the labor vote. up to ,41S, 712.
The election in which greatest interest il felt is
progressing in Scotland today. This is in the
Midlothian district of Edinburgshire, where
Mr. Gladstone is opposed BY Col. Wauchepe, q
liberal unionist Party feeling in the district
is raised to fever heat. and the polling was
never before known to be 30 heavy. In
1855 Mr. Gladstone had a majority of 4 1851, and
in 1886 he was returned without opposition.
This year the unionists decided to put q candi-
date in the field and Col. Wauchepe was nomi-
mated to oppose the liberal leader. So FIR as
can be judged from the polling at this stage of
the election there promises to be a large reduc-
ton in Mr.. Gladstones former majority.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the total returns
received show the election of 209 conserva-
tives. 179 liberals. 80 liberal unionists, Sc anti
Parnellites and Parnellites.
RIorIYG IN IRELAND.
Serious rioting has occurred at Kilrush,
County Clare, Ireland. A band Of Parnellites
made an attack upon Simons Temperance
Hotel and completely wrecked it. Several other
houses on More street. including that OF lady
who is not identified with either Of the sections
of the Irish party, were also wrecked.
Mr.. Mcguire, the Parnellite candidate in the
west division Of County Clare. had q narrow
escape from q shower of empty bottles that
were thrown at him while he was entering Q
hotel
The Independent Parnellite) says that in ad-
dition to the petitions which will be lodged
against the elections Of Mr.. VIM. O'Brien and
Mr.. Timothy Healy on the ground Of clerical
interference a series Of petitions through
out Ireland is threatened on the same
ground. Wicklow, Lester. West Kerry, Tyrone
and Galway have all been scenes not only
Of violent political speeches from the altar, but
Of physical violence under the aegis Of clergy
men. Among the ballots was found piece Of
paper on which was written, AS Father -
told me-" the voter evidently having forgotten
the name.
The report Of Mr.. Gladstone's having been
taken seriously i'll after his speech at Penncuick
Inst night is unfounded. Mr.. Gladstone is in
his usual health.

lated.
LONDON July 12--In response to numerous
kilograms from the United States, saying that
it was currently reported there Mr.. William
Waldorf Astor had died in London yesterday
afternoon. the representative q the Associated
Press called at Iansdowne Hodse, Mr.. Astor's
London residence. at an early hour this morn
ing and learned that Mr.. Aston was not dead
He at once csbled this information to the
United States, but further inquiries were re-
ceived stating that il was generally published
in the United States that Mr.. Aston was dead
Again the representative Of the Associated
Press went to LansdOwne House, thinking that
perhaps Mr.. Aston had died since his last visit
As he approached Lansdowne House the cheer
full appearance Of the mansion bclied the story
reJidenee.
The windows were open and q lady was sitting
out on the veranda reading.
Mr.. Astor's valet informed the Associated
Press representative that his master had passed
good night and that he had partaken Of q
hearty breakfast. The condition of Mr.. Aston,
he said, was so much improved that he intended
to rise from his bed during the day.
Inquiry made at Mr.. AstOr's Office in Surrey
street elected the information that his agent
saw Mr.. Aston last night. He was suffering
from severe cold, which at one time threatened
to develop into pnuemonia.
Further inquiries were made at the Lans-
downe House at noon today az to Mr.. Astor's
condition. The butler said that Mrs. Aston
was not at home and that Mr.. Astor's nurse had
just gone out for walk.
1t is reported that Mr.. Astor's health has so
much improved that he will go out tomorrow.
Mr.. Henry White, secretary Of the American
legation, saw Mrs. W. w. Aston today and was
informed that Mr.. Aston was making rapid
progress toward recovery. Mrs. Aston declared
that her husband had never been in the slight
est danger.
Mr.. Astor's physician confirms the statements
that Mr.. Astor's illness was not dangerous and
that he is now recovering.
Mrs. Aston went out driving this afternoon.
The Aston family have become annoyed and
hurt by the persistent inquiries that have been
made Of them by various persons that they re-
fuse to make any further answers to questions
regarding Mr.. Astor's health.
Mrs. Aston says she would be glad to know
who originated the cruel report Of her hus-
bands death.
The American public can be assured that the
reports sent out by the Associated Press regard
ing Mr.. Astor's sickness and his present cOndi-
ton are absolutely true in every particular.

THE SILVER BILL.
It's Advocates Apparently Despair os Pass
Ing H.

ITS Advocates Apparently Despair of Pass
ing H.
The action Of the silver men Last night In de-
termining TO amend the Stewart bill WINS an sv-
idence Of their despair Of passing the hin.
Their hope 10 that by amending IL they may re-
cover some Of the ground they have lost. and
may possibly pass the bill in an amended FORM
They have lost 50 much ground. however, that
this hope hangs on q very slender thread. The
chances are that there win be no necessity for
cioture rule from the committee on rules. and
that the fight viii be ended with comparative
promptness. The silver men are feeling very
sore over the situation, but n their own men
desert them there does not seem TO be ANYTHING
for them but 10 take the best they can get and
pray meanwhile that they may get In by q
scratch.
The silver men say that they would rather 20
TO the country with the record 81 having passed
having assisted In passing bill that IL Acknowl-
edged to be detective and give 10 the repub-
lican President the opportunity OF vetoing IL on
= technical objection.
The anti-free silver men do not hesitate 10
acknowaedse that the effect Of the adoption 81
the proposed amendments 70 the bill will
strengthen 1t, but not sufficiently TO ensure its
passage.
The Senate does not appear TO be in humor
favorable for further discussion Of the silver
question. The finance COMMITTEES this morning
held its regular weekly session, but no account
was taken Of the possibility that the House might
send the bill back to the Senate in q few
days and indeed the subject was not touched
upon in any way. In the senate itsolf Mr. Pal
mer came near precipitating another silver
debate by the presentation Of letter be had
received from the Treasury Department in rela-
tion TO the accumulation of silver in the treasury
vaults, but while Mr.. Morgan was. as usual.
fully prepared and even eager for the fr~v, the
other Senators appeared 10 breathe sigh OF
relief as an objection from Mr.. Allison cut of
the discussion.
1t is understood that the republicans have
finally decided upon the course they will pur-
sue with relation to the silver bill and that
they will assume an aggressive attitude, leading
the fight against the measure.
