MlcARAeUAN SOLDIERS KILLED
Fired Upon. by Mob while Trying 60
Make an Arrest.

NEW York, Aug 18.-The American
schooner George Whitford arrived yester-
day from Corn Island, Nicaragua. The
Whitford brings news Of an encounter be
tween some Of the natives and few Mic
araguan soldiers on July last during
which four of the soldiers were killed and
two wounded. From what could be
learned aboard the Whitford 1t appears
that lawyer named Russell, who is a
Jamaican, called on Governor Maxemo
Diaz in reference TO a lawsuit in which he
hau been retained as council The gov
ernor declined to examine the papers, as
they were not in Spanish, and this led to
heated discussion between them and
ended by the governor tearing to pieces
the lawyers papers.
This enraged Russell and he proceeded
TO lecture the governor severely. The
governor threatened to arrest him, but did
not do so, there being no one present at
the time except the governors secretary.
Russell defed the governor to do his
worst and orders were sent at once to
Bluetields for troops to aid the governor
in arresting the lawyer. Meanwhile Rus
sell had gathered about him several of his
friends and openly defied the governor TO
arrest him. On their arrival the troops
were ordered 10 arrest Russell at once.
Russell refused to surrender, and his party
fired on the soldiers, killing four and
wounding two. The governors secretary
was slightly wounded, as was also q mer-
chant, who was riding on horseback
through the street.
Russell and his friends thought their
victory a good opportunity to settle other
grudges, so, with eight others, they set
out to wipe the Nicsraguan officials from
the face of Corn Island They ran up
against the remainder of the troops, three
In number. Two more were killed. The
only one left wentin hiding, leaving the
governor and his secretary to the tender
mereies of the jamaican and his follow
ing
Russell advanced on the government
house, and the governor and secretary re
treated to the cellar and barricaded them
selves. In the shooting the secretary
, who was wounded, opened fire with a
horse pistol winging NJ Gale, one of Rus
sells friends. Then the rebels retreated
. to the bush. From thence they made an
other onslaught, burning two government
houses and the pier.
On the following day Gale and several
others, presumably confederates, were
captured Russell and Lincoln escaped in
a dory, but later were captured at Port
( DimOn. Dias emerged from his retire
ment and put all hands to Jail. Then he
resigned, leaving a strong recommends
tion that the prisoners be sentenced TO the
full penalty for the insult to Nicaragua

ship.
At 1910 p. m. the convention adjourned
until 1880 to give the committees on ere
dentials and resolutions time to prepare
their reports.
A LITTLE TIFF.
Just before the convention was called
to order at las this afternoon an animated
conversation was overheard between
Charles A. Snyder, the reading clerk, and
Chairman Meyer
Mr. Snyder accused the chairman of be-
ing a Greenbacker and said 10 had been
so long since he (Moyer) had voted the Re-
publican ticket that Meyer had forgotten
the time and that he (Moyer) could not
come any of his Greenback tactics in the
convention.
Chairman Meyer made little reply, but
said that some of Mr.. Snyder's work as
reading clerk was opposed by the chair
that he exceeded his authority in the posi-
tion.
The gritty young clerk carried his point
however, and continued his duties.
LosCH GAINS TWO DELEGATES.
The afternoon session was taken up
until three o'clock on a fight over the
seating of two delegates from the Fifth
ward of Mahanoy City.
IL was charged by Mr.. WhitehOuse that
the vote taken at Scheurman's place was
illegal and the regular vote was the one
taken at Jones' place
The delegates elected at Scheurman's
were William kellet and William Jones
These two delegates were strong for
Brumm.
The delegates elected at Jones' place
were David Jenkins and William Hale.
They were supposed by some to be
Brumm men, but it was generally be
lieyed they would flop over to either
Shoener or Losch.
Mr.. Kellet answered Mr.. Whitehouse by
saying that Scheurman's was the place
ordered by the committee, and because
they could not have a fair count at Jones
place.
After much wrangling a vote was taken
and motion to seat Kellet and Jones was
defeated by 139 Sc ayes and l29 % nays.
Accordingly Jenkins and Hale, the dele
gates elected at JONES' were directed to
ia ke their seats.
At 3 o'clock Mr.. whitehouse took the
platform and commenced the reading of
lengthy report by the committee on
resolutions.

THE ticket placed in the field by the
Republicans to-day is wo orthy of the sup
port Of every member of the party in
Schuylkill county. While there will nee
essarily be some disappointment felt by
the friends of the unsuccessful candi-
dates before the convention, we believe
all will realize the great necessity of a
united party. The people are anxious for
a change Of administration, and with a
tied party success is assured.

WERE WE RIGHT d?

over two years ago the HERALD warned |
the citizens of Shenandoah that they |
were being deceived by the people who
were agitating new water works, that the |
instigators were making false proclama- |
tions and could not build the proposed |
public water works for anywhere near the |
amount the schemers estimated. For this |
service the HERALD was boycotted and
prosecuted by the water works agitators,
and its reporter was denied admission to
the Council chamber But that did not
intimidate the HERALD. 1t continued to
advocate that the estimates of these
people were wrong, that by following
them the taxpayers were plunging them
selves into bottomless abyss, and the
only salvation was a truce with the old
water company, or purchase of the
plant,
To all these warnings the public water
works enthusiasts tauntingly replied that
they could and would establish works
superior in every respees to the old plant
for anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 and
in less than ten years the works would
more than pay themselves and the in
come from them after the expiration of
that period would reduce the tax rate of
the borough to a nominal figure.
Wac was right2
held the enthusiasts abandoned the S70-
900 and $4,000 theory when they asked
the people for an allowance the figure was
placed at $4,000. For this they were to
give the people an excellent plant lone of
the best in the state, some said, complete
and ready for operation. But where is
il ? Part of it lies at Davis Run with an
enormous black eye; another part is
struggling for an existence at Fowler
Run, and the rest is still unborn. And
yet we find that the two.thirds, we will
say, of the plant which have been com.
pleted have cost, according to the Dor
ough's own engineer Ss1, ,S4456 and the
cost of completion will be $35, ,s44. So more
making grand total of Sl2s, ,s44.56!
Who was right
Verify the developments Of the presen
day form balm for the HERALD whicl
1T can most heartily appreciate. TIT
borough's own figures show that in all it
predictions as to he project the HERALl
did not lie.
And now the question arises where /
the excess of s35 s44, &c. in addition to tn
sum which is to be paid for the Torber
and other lands, to come from Are tn
people to be consulted in the matte
through a special election Or, in spite G
the warning given by the late Judg
Green that the Councilmen would rende
themselves liable to criminal prosecutio
II they expen nded cent above the $93,0C
for water works, do the CounCilmen il
tend to go ahead and draw upon the bo
Ough treasury as occasion may demand

matter.

undoubtedly make record in case of his
