In the faee that the Republicans had it

aresimply astounding in Ohio; there

A NiQht Attack.

A party of eight boys or young men
rode into North Middletown Friday
night and found negro congregation
just dispensing. The drunken boys
(or ii is presumed they were on a
drunken frolic) threw rocks and clubs
into the church; at remonstrance
from the negroes, some firing was
done by the mob. The marshal at
tempted to make some arrests, but
the mob fired on him. The mob
being too much for the marshal, he
retreated for achievements, and
later on when the crowd came down
the street, few shots were exchang-
ed between the Marshal and his possee
and the mob. The mob then rode
away without any of them being rec
ognized. A negro man, Burt Morris.
was severely but not dangerously
wounded.
1t is also claimed that three of the
mob were shot. The probability is
that the mob was composed of some
neighboring boys who had secured too
much bad whisky.

MT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER IA, il
Tried to Rob a Train.

Grant Collins and John Ballou,
aged eighteen and twenty-tour respec-
lively, of Mount Vernon, ditched the
fast express, No, 26, on the Louisville
and Nashville road. between Alta
mont and Hazel Patch, by removing IA
rail on Friday. They broke into the
tool-house and securing the necessary
tools, removed the rail at dangerous
point. The engine, baggage, mail
and smoking-cars plunged fifty feet
down very heavy fill, but, as good
luck would have it, no one was SER
ieusly injured.
Section Foreman Caldwell, feeling
confident he could name the criminals,
started out, and in less time than It
will take to tell it had them safely
lodged behind the bars at London,
KY. Collins, fearing he would not
come out all right, made full confess
sion, saying they intended to ditch the
train and rob the mail and express
cars, but being SO young and timid,
their hearts failed them. When the
train was ditched they made their
way to the house of Collins brother,
whore they were arrested.
This 10 the second time that Collins
and Ballou have been heard of in this
business, and it is expected a mob will
be formed to try the strength of their
necks.

ECHOES OF THE WORLDS FAIR.
How a MT. Sterling Wife Came
Near Creating a Scandal.

Mr.. STERLING, KY, Nov. 11.-One
of the best Worlds Fair jokes of the
season on Mt. Sterling parties has
just leaked out. We will explain it
Just as we heard it and will call the
parties Mr.. and Mrs. Jones and Mr..
and Mrs. Smith. That, however, is
not their names, and we mean no dis
respect to the Jones and Smiths. Mr..
Smith and wife and Mr.. Jones went
to the Fair and Mrs. Jones remained
at home. After they arrived at the
great exposition Mr.. Jones was so
greatly surprised that he telegraphed
his wife to come on and gave her the
name of the hotel and the number of
his room. In the meantime he changed
rooms with Mr.. and Mrs. Smith. On
the receipt of the telegram Mrs. Jones
started for the Fair, and on the train
met a gentleman from this city, who
promised TO see that she got to the
hotel safely. When they arrived at
the hotel the gentleman thought he
would surprise Mr.. Jones, so he sent a
note up to his room, that formerly
was, but later occupied by smith and
wife, to come down, he wanted to see
him. The bell boy took the note and
in few moments returned, saying
Mr.. Jones said he and his wife had
retired and, if not important business,
would wait until morning, Right
there Mrs. Jones screamed: "Take me
to his ROOM" They took her. She
knocked at the door and Mr.. Smith,
who, you understand, was occupying
the room, opened the door slightly
and she rushed in. After a great deal
of explanation the circumstantial
evidence of agreat scandal was cleared
away, aid they all saw the Worlds
Fair and were happy.-Lexington

The joke above referred to has been

BRUTAL.
The Home of Evans, the Rape
Fiend. Blown to Atoms
And His Mother, Wife and
Daughter Probably Perish.
And His Mother, Wife and
Daughter Probably Perish.

The Courier Journal has the follow
ing special from Bardstown, dated
Sunday:
The fury of at least part of the mob
that would have hsged Phil Evans has
at least vented itself in an awful man
ner. At IL o'clock last night the
home of Evans, two miles in the woods
back of Samuels' Station, was blown
up with dynamite, a fusillade of shots
fired for some unknown reason, and
the fragments of the dwelling burned
until nothing but few bricks is left.
The aged mother of Evans and his
wife and daughter, though known to
have retired last night, are nowhere
to be found, and there is every reason
to believe that they were blown to
atoms.
The only thing that causes any one
to doubt that they were killed is the
difficulty Of conceiving how such a
horrible butchery could be executed
by human beings. Simply on this &C
count, there are some who think that
they were driven from the country
at midnight; yet they would certainly
have been seen by some one to-day.
AT midnight the people of that
neighborhood were startled by TIVE
blasts of dynamite that shook the
houses for half a mile around. Hardly
before they could spring from their
beds until the stiffness of night was
again broken by the discharge of about
forty shot-guns and pistols, and in a
few more minutes the remnants OF
Evans home went up in a blaze. No
one ventured to the scene until day
light, but everything was reduced to
cindeTs, and if a human body had been
in the house it is hardly possible that
enough bones would be left to estab-
lish the fact.
Up to late hour tonight nothing
had been heard from Evans family
Sheriff Pence was ill to-day, but to,
morrow he will make a thorough in.
vestigation. The better element in
the county denounce the action as al
outrage, and they threaten to mob the
perpetrators, even if the family es.
capped, for they are very poor. Evans
said to-day that he did not want an.
other trial because he was afraid they
would mob him.

For Assessor.

Mr.. Albert Bridges is announced in
this issue as candidate for Assessor
of Montgomery county. Mr.. Bridges
is representative young Democrat
who win rally to his support FARCE
number of the young men of the
party. Popular, genial and energetic,
be will not disappoint the expectations
yof HE friends. His record as Demo-
crat is without scratch. He has
always voted and now for the first time
asks little recognition at his party's
hands. His circle of acquaintance is
wide, his experience in farming and
stock raising fit him to be fair and
impartial judge, of the value of such
products, added to these qualifi-
cations, is the fact that his entire life
has been spent in the county, where he
first saw the light. He manfully and
respectfully asks your support, pledg-
ing you faithful discharge of the
dutiee of the Office if entrusted with
them. Give thiseyoung mans claims
your thoughtful consideration.

THE VOTE EACH CANDIDATE
RECEIVED.

The election for city officers Of Mt.
Sterling passed off with but one little
disturbance to mar the quiet. This
occurred near the polls of the Third
Ward, and for few minutes matters
looked pretty vicious. AS usual, the
disturbance was over "foater;" but
before any serious damage was done
the Sheriff appeared on the scene, and
the crowd vanished.
The election resulted in the selection
of Democratic candidates, except for
Councilman in the Third Ward. In
this ward the Democrats had nomina-
ted ]. w. Burroughs and Matt S.
Kelly for Councilmen. Afterward
the Republicans nominated j. D. Will
son and Walter Banks, a negro, for
CounCilmen. To complicate matters
still more, W. 7. Fitzpatrick and DR.. B.
f. Cox declared themselves Independ-
ent candidates. 1t was plain under
this state of facts that it was impossi-
BILE for the Democrats to elect their
nominees. So Mr.. Kelly withdrew,
hoping that by leaving the Democrats
free to vote for Burrough, the Demo-
Graf, and Wilson, the Republican, they
might possibly defeat the negro. But
their scheme did not work. Wilson
and the coon both went in. 1t is all
nonsense to talk about the Democrats
helping to elect the "coon;" they may
have aided, and probably did aid in
electiug M. j. D. Wilson, most esti-
mable gentlemen, who is not parts
an in any sense; but because one or
two hot-headed boys and a man or
two, whose personal dislike for Mr..
Fitzpatrick led him or them to say, II
would rather see a negro elected than
Fitzpatrick" it is wrong to charge
the Democrats with aiding in the
election of the negro. The entire
glory Of this thing belongs to the Re-
publicaus and we want them wear it,
Below we give the city vote:

The Midwinter Exposition already
much talked of, bids fair to rival the
great fair that has just closed at
Chicago-not in size, perhaps, but
certainly SO in originality, in richness,
and in delighted visitors, who will
unanimously agree that the Pacific
Coast is worth many times the time
and money spent to visit it, in its re-
turn of delightful climate, mellow sun
light, wondrous growth of vegetation,
ard the heretofore unheard of net
work of industries connected with
fruit raising, and the shipping of the
product. -.
The Queen Il Crescent Route is the
desirable line to and from California,
at the first step to this end, California
rates have been reduced, and every
one may find the cost of such trip
within his means.
