The news from all the noun
tain counties Of our district is to
the effect that the Democratic can
didates for Congress, Kendall and
Beckner, will each carry the full
Democratic strength. There is no
enthusiasm among the Republicans
and the Democrats are making the
more aggressive campaign. Every
indication points to an increased
rather than a decreased majority
for the standard bearers in the old
Tenth.

Judge Isaac NJ. Vanarsdell died at
his home on Queen street, in this city,
on Saturday evening. Judge Vanars-
dell was 50 years &c age, and in all the
years of his life he mad borne among
his fellowmen the reputation of an
honest man. He leaves q wife (nee
Emma G. ShuberD to whom he w&s
married in 1878, and three sons to
mourn his loss.
Born and raised in Bath county, he
moved to Menefee county, where he
served two terms as County Judge
and one term as County and Circuit
Clerk. He discharged his public
duties with credit and fidelity. Four
teen years ago he was stricken with
paralysis, and since that time, although
almost continuously chained to his
chair, he bravely and manfully kept
up his struggle to win for his family
the necessities of life. His was the
brave and manly struggle of a manly
man against most adverse fate. His
life is a shining example of the
strength Of manly courage, that
against such overwhelming odds, has
built up from its inter desolation, the
fair Southland, till now it blossoms as
the rose. His life, too, puts to the
blush those who are Inclined to MUIR
muir at the small ills that have fallen
to them. His manly life is well worth
study at the hands of all of us.
And the example it gives to the world
well worthy of imitation.
For some weeks past, he had been
been confined to his bed, but was
slightly improved. On Saturday
evening he was sitting in his chair
and had eaten his supper. His devo-
ted wife retired to the dining room to
join the rest of the family in the even
ing meal, but was scarcely seated till
she heard noise in his room. They
ran to him, but found, that in the dim
light, he had reached for a bottle of
medicine he was accustomed TO take
after eating, and had unwittingly
swallowed Carbolic Acid instead. He
only lived some twenty minutes.
His funeral was preached at the
at the Christian church yesterday
afternoon, and he was afterward
buried by the members of the Con-
Tolerate Veteran Association,in Mach
pelah Cemetery, he having served
with crelit in the Ninth Kentucky
Confederate Cavalry.

property contained 1900 acres of the
finest timber and plantation land Of
the South. One of the attorneys for
the Trust Company, gave as his opin-
ion that by economical management
and the marketing of these timbehi
in period of a few years, III
would have paid more than $65,0N

Us that this would have been the reali.'
cation, had the property been properN
operated and managed; but as it is the
Trust Company has forced it on the
market at cash sale and realized,
only $4,000 gross, which less costs,
will be reduced to $4,000, A loss TOT
the stockholders of the New Farmers
Bank of $4,000. With this kind of
management it is now being estimated
that the depositors OF this institution
will receive less than 80 per cent, and
even that will be long time coming.

The friends of those Republican
who wanted to make the race for the
several county offices, and who were
so summarily set down upon by the
friends of Orear, Kirkpatrick and
McMahan, are not taking things very
quietly. They recognize the snub and
may yet take steps to see that a full
ticket is in the field. This is their
fight. The Democrats would las
soon fight them all along the line as
at one or two points. The only adj
vantage to us is to be found in the
strong and widespread disaffectiOn in
the ranks of the Republicans, because
of this crowding off the track Others
who wanted to run. But let them
come singly in trios or all in bunch,
all alike, they will go down in Novem-

the case was tried lRst week and the
jury found verdict against him and
fixed his punishment in the peniten-
tisry for term of two years. lie at
once applied for new trial which
was grented. This is evidence that
the Court did not believe the verdict
a just one. For the enlightenment of
our readers VIC state the case as given
to us by one conversant with the
facts:
Mr.. Mitchell was cashier of the Full
ton Bank, and testified as to the stand
ing of one of his depositor's accounts
with the bank. His credits were
properly given, and concerning this
no question was made. Also the de-
bits were correctly made and were
not questioned, but in making his
statement under oath the amount
was given different from what the
books showed, caused by numerical
error in subtraction and because
of this Mr.. Mitchell was charged for
false swearing. This is the third
time he has been granted new trial.

AGRICULTURAL DECAY IN ENGLAND

The report on the agricultural condition
of Essex is gloomy reading indeed. The
present year will witness a downfall more
disastrous in its consequences than any
stranger to Essex could possibly appre-
bend. If three-fourths of the farmers
who have served notice to quit in 1891 act
upon them thousands of acres will be left
tenantless and it requires a stretch OF
imag ination more than / can make to
suppose that new tenants will be found.
The decay Of agriculture in Essex began
after the year 1879 and it has been adj
vancing by leaps and bounds ever since:
Since that unfortunate year more and
more farms have been given up and the
land which Mr.. John Morley, in one of
those odd bursts of lyrical enthusiasm OF
his, once prophesied of destined to be
waving with golden grain has been left to
run to weed and waste. Landlords, ten
ants and agricultural laborerS have, of
course, been suffering with annually in
creasing severity and now the terrible
drought of SO has brought matters to a
climax The low price of produce, COM
bined with the increased price of labor,
has broken the back of the farmer.
That. too, has come to pass in spite OF
reductions in rent SO enormous that the
figures read more like extracts from
''Monte Cristo.' than sober Statistics

Far From PencenhIe.

PunXsutawney, n. Y, June H.-Wal-
ston tonight contains about 1900 for
eigners, who are in an attitude far
from peaceable, the mine officials are
powerless and the Huns are running
things at the mines to suit themselves.
An additional lot of fire arms were
purchased today, and the hardware
merchants could have sold a hundred
Winchesters if they had had them.
Very few English speaking miners are
now in Walston.
The citizens of PunXsutawney and
Walston are much alarmed at the pres
ent critical situation. The bumpers
were compelled to leave the pumps,
and the mines are rapidly filling with
water.
John Snyder, mine superintendent at
Walston, was compelled to leave, and
has been staying in this town. The
militia is expected tomorrow.
The foreigners understand the troops
are coming, and the highway leading
from this place into Walston is
swarming with hordes of Italians and
Huns, who are greatly agitated The
greatest fear now is that there will be
an attack upon the English-speaking
miners and their families They have
been driven from their homes and in
the darkness fathers and husbands have
been separated from wives and chill
dren and the children are running
around crying for protection.
