WAYLAID AND SHoT.-Yesterday W.
C. White, general agent of the Metro
politan Loan Association, of Richmond,
and Temple Harris, State agent of the
same company, were arrested in Par
kersburg, W. Va. 1t is alleged they
waylaid and attempted to murder E. B.
Thaw, general agent of the Columbian
Loan Association, of the same city,
shortly after midnight, while on his
way home from a business trip to
Wheeling. Thaw's condition is criti-
cal. The three men, all of whom be-
long to prominent Virginia families,
went to Parkersburg this spring, organ
izing branches of the rival companies,
and getting many leading bankers and
business men interested in the enter
prises. Shortly after their arrival they
began a series of vicious attacks
through the papers, ending in White
challenging Thaw to fight o duel,
which was prevented by the authorities.
Since then the enmity has increased.

THE cowardice, prejudice, ineficien-
cy and corruption of SO many men on
the police force of the larger cities has
suggested the idea that the substitution
Of soldiers for policemen would be bet
ter in every respect, and n proposition
to that effect has already been made in
New York. That men are incapable
of governing themselves has been de-
monstrated from the first, and those of
this country have done so longer than
was anticipated by some wise men who
were alive when its government was
formed. Soldiers for policemen would
only be another step in the advance OF
the man on horseback.

LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch from
Seoul says q great battle has been
fought at Ping Yang between the Chi
nese and japanese troops, in which the
former we're utterly routed. The bat
lie was opened on Saturday by a Japa-
nese canuonade of the Chinese works,
which was continued until afternoon,
the Chinese responding, but the losses
on either side were small. AIS o'clock
next morning an attack was made by
the japanese columns simultaneously.
The Chinese was completely taken by
surprise and were thrown into a panic.
Hundreds were cut down and those
who escaped death, finding themselves
surrounded at every point, broke and
fled. Some of the European drilled
troops stood their ground and were cut
down to a man. Half an hour after
the attack the positions at Ping Yang
were in possession of the Japanese. Ii
is estimated that 10000 Chinese sol,
diers were engaged in the battle. The
Japanese captured immense stores o.
provisions, munitions of war and nun
dreds of colors. The Chinese loss is
estimated at sixteen thousand killed,
wounded and taken prisoners. Among
those captured by the japanese are sew
eral of the Chinese commanding Off.
GERS, including the commander-in-chle
of the Manchurian army, who was Sc
verely wounded. The japanese loss is
only thirty killed and 27o wounded
The Japanese are in pursuit OF the fugl'
tives who have thrown away their
arms and readily yielded themselves
prisoners. Unless China shall succeed
in getting another army into the PENN
sula, Corea will undoubtedly remain in
possession of the japanese.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 1.-THE
| 10th annual session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, 1. o. o. F., met to-day.
The reception ceremonies were held in
the hall on Lookout Mountain,
beginning at 9 o'clock. Governor Tur-
hey, ofTennessee, and George W. o hs,
Mayor of Chattanooga, welcomed the
visitors. Hon. c. T. Campbell, of Lon
don, Ontario, grand sire of the grand
lodge, responded to the addresses OF
welcome. In his annual report the Grand
Sire said the total membership of the
order was now 100000 or, including the
sisters of Rebekah degree, $4,000. To
this should be added in foreign jurisdic-
tons a membership of $4,000, making
q combined membership of nine-tenths
| of n million men and women The net
increase in membership during the
year had been $1,000. In Canada the
order has made greater progress than
in any year of its history. There had
been NO diminution in the work ac-
complished, and the expenditure OF
three and q third million of dollars for
purposes of relief was a sufficient evil
dence of the activity ofOdd Fellowship.
The military branch known as the
patriarchs militant was reported as
being in a prosperous condition. The
enthusiasm ofthe sisterhood of Rebekah
has continued undated, the member
ship increasing rapidly.
The report of Theodore A. Ross,
grand secretary and a%djutant general
Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, shows
that during 1898 the net gain in the
membership of lodges was 32,S97, and
in encampments 3,54S. Small decreases
in lodges are reported and decreases in
encampments. In the Rebekah lodges,
the net gain in the number OF lodges
was S7S, in membership 21,57S. OF the
increased membership in these lodges,
1889 we're sisters. AS adjutant gen.
eral of the Patriarchs Militant, Mr..
Ross reports that during 1898 eleven
new cantons were mustered.
Tomorrow the grand parade occurs
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and a re
union of past grand sires will follow in
the evening.

Woodlawn Farmers Club.

The September meeting of the Wood
lawn Farmers Club was held at the
country residence of c. F. wilkins on
the Mount Vernon Electric Railway, on
the Sth inst, President Harrison in the
chair. Minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
C. Lukens read a newspaper article
10 regard to the wheat and clover seed
crops in some of the States principally
devoted to the growing of the same,
from which it appeared that about 10
per cent. of the wheat crop would lie
fed at home, 30 it was thought that the
home consumption of so large a per-
centage would tend to somewhat re-
store the equilibrium and eventually
raise prices. From the dicussion that en-
sued it appeared that large amount OF
wheat was being used for feed in this
section also.
A letter in the Washington Post from
a correspondent in Oklahoma who had
travelled through the west and noted
the conditions existing was handed the
secretary to read, which gave an inter
esting account of the drought.
The subject of threshing came up,
reference being made to a report of the
Fishervile Farmers Club, where the
farmers had co-operated to secure re-
duced prices for threshing. The result
was that they had their tbreshing done
at prices much below what it costs
~hereabouts, with NO trouble or labor
on the part of the farmer except to take
the grain from the machine after it was
bagged. The propriety of having the
corn crop husked by machinery this
fall was preached, but the poor crop in
many places, together with the unsatis-
factory condition in which the fodder
was sometimes left, seemed to initiate
against the proposition; besides some OF
The members thought they would not
want anybody to see how poor their
crop was.
Lewis Gillingham exhibited a section
of a new kind of wire fence he had in
troduced in the neighborhood, being
without barbs and with link wire stays,
which seemed to be an improvement
over the ordinary barbed wire fences.

Breckenridge Defeated.

The democrats of the seventh or Ash
land district of Kentucky met in
primary election on Saturday and
by a small plurality chose Will
liam G. Owens as their candidate for
Congress in place of Col. William
G. p. Breckenridge, the famous ''silver-
tonged" orator and defendant in the
Pollard breach-of-promise suit. The
result is attributed to the work of the
women of the district, who made a
moral issue of Colonel Breckinridge's
candidacy. Mr.. E. E. Settle was also q
candidate. The election passed of
peacefully. The absence of trouble at
the polls was largely due to the fact
that the Breckenridge faction did not
enforce their challenge rule as strictly
as had been expected. The vanquished
accepted defeat manfully.
The Lexington ministers finished up
Breckenridge yesterday. At the Broad
way Christian Church DR.. jenkins
caused live of his congregation, friends
of Breckenridge, to leave the house by
his sermon, which was devoted almost
entirely TO the defeated CoDSFtssmah
DR.. jenkins said that it did him good
to know how tho hearts Of Christians
all over the district were %bubbline
over with joy because of Breckinridge's
defeat.
In all churches on that morning the
defeat of Breckenridge was referred to
10 prayer and sermon as a matter for
national thanksgiving. One of the
local papers celebrates the event in
verse, as follows
The tongue that once through Congress halls,
its tones of silver shed,
Nows hangs as mute within its walls, as il
that tongue had fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days, its glorious
thrill is DER,
The tongue that once beat loud for praise Is
silenced

THE G. A. R., by formal resolution
in annual encampment assembled, de-
nounce the "rebels" in Congress and
objurgate the "crime" Of secession,
though the latter was an expressly re-
served right of the States when they
entered the Union, and are patted on
the shoulder and applauded for doing
SO by the republican press of the North;
but when Rev. Mr.. Cave says a kind
word in memory of the gallant and
self sacrificing Confederates who fell in
defense of their firesides, and OF the
cause in which they fought, as he did IN
st. Louis last week, that same press
raises its voice and cries aloud against
him for abiding to subjects that, they
saw tend to revive the animosities OF
the war. OF course their abuse OF
every thing relating to the South is
well calculated to obliterate those ami.
mosilies, if any such any longer exist IN
the South. But lambs always do mud

COLONEL BREcKINRrDGE should have
been defeated for his hypocrisy, the
mesnest of all things. But it was not
for that that the voters of his district
turned him down last Saturday. 1t was
for doing what thousands of other men,
some of whom hold much higher
places, have done, and do, but are for.
tunate enough to escape, not detection,
but suits. According to the people OF
his district, all men having mistresses
should marry them. Society is bad
enough as it is, but what would it be,
i-such were the case?
