The Richmond Dispatch, in com
menting on recent editorial in the
Star, says:
Keep down the silver agitation this
year and next year will tell good
story for the Democrats"
There is no necessity for introducing
the money issue into the Virginia Leg
lsiative campaign this year. 1t may
have an appropria to place in the con
Test of 1896, but it would be a lack of
wisdom to endeavor to force it into the
fight in our State this fall. Let each
and every campaign be fought on the
issues which appropriately belong to

1t is our candid opinion, says the
Fredericksburg Star, that there is no
better way for any man to prove his
Democracy in the present State of af-
fairs than by bending his energies to
the work of rallying the free silver
and anti silver factions under one ban
ner. 1t will not do for us to go into
the next national contest in a condi-
ton of disorder and generalization,
and there is strong probability that
such may be the result of keeping up
a fractional fight.
No true Democrat can indulge in
creating and intensifying discord. but
all can labor for the promotion of har-
mOny.

MRS. TALMAGE'S ILLNESS.
Slight Improvement in Her Condition Was
Noted Yesterday and Her Hus-
band Is with Her.
fBy telegraph to the N. Y. Herald

by telegraph to the N. Y. Herald.l
DANsvILLE, N. Y, August 3. 1885,
A slight improvement is noted tonight
in the condition of Mrs. T. De Witt
Talmage, who is ill at the Jackson
Sanitarium, in this village.
Mrs. Talmage's physicians express
hope that she will recover. DIR. Tai
mage and Frank Talmage, of Pitts
burg, Pa, their sons, are both here.
DR.. Talmage has cancelled all his lee
ture dates for several weeks to come in
order that he may devote all possible
attention to Mrs. Talmage.
LATTER Mrs. Talmage died on
Monday.-ED. SPEC.
CHARMING PERSONALITY OF MRS TALL
MAGE AND HER WORK IN THE CHURCH.
Mrs. Talmage has been always re-
garded with great affection by the
members of her husbands various con-
gregations. She is deeply devoted to
him, the cause of her illness having
dated from her alarm for his safety at
the last Tabernacle fire. She is wo-
man of very charming artistic tastes
and her Brooklyn home is filled with
souvenirs of her travels with DR.. Tai
mage in the Holy Land and in Russia.
Mrs. Talmage is a member of ali the
ladies' societies in her husbands
church. and was extremely active in
aiding him in his pastoral work. She
is an enthusiast in regard to the ex-
tension of her husbands influence,
and contributed all of the enormous
influence she possessed among her
friends toward this end.
She is DR.. Talmage's second wife.
His first wife was drowned while boat
ing in 1862, leaving him a daughter,
Miss Jesse Talmage, and a son, now
dead. Nine months after this sad acct
dent DR.. Talnage was introduced to
Miss Susie Whittemore, member of a
Presbyterian Church in Greenpoint,
Brooklyn, by his brother, the Rev.
Goyn Talmage. This acquaintance
ripened into a much warmer affection,
and the following year Miss White
more became the second Mrs. Talmage.
She bore DR.. Talmage five children
Mrs. Dorm. Mrs. Mangan, the Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmage and the Misses
Maud and Daisy Talmage.
Mrs. Talmage recently broke down
completely, and her illness threaten
ing to interfere with her husbands
work she entreated him to leave her in
the Evansville Sanitarium and to con-
tinue it. Now, however, it is likely
that DIR. Talmage will cancel his en-
gagements all through the West.

RObberies along the q. & DRY.

The Allegheny Sentinel says that in
Covington Friday night, July Goth,
1.-The residences of Mr.. Ben Carpenter,
Mr.. John Alexander, James Rodgers
and the Methodist Parsonage were all
entered and various sums of money sto-
len; also attempts were made to enter a
number of other residences but were
frustrated. About fifteen dollars we're
taken from the pockets of Mr.. Carpen-
ter's pants in his bedroom, only a few
feet from where he and his wife were
sleeping, and also small amounts in the
same way from Mr.. Rodgers and Mr..
Alexander. and at the Parsonage, the
pastor and his family being away at
the time, only few cents secured were
there, the thief or thieves not seeming
to desire anything but money"
1t appears from the Ronceverte Neaos
that gang of colored thieves have
been operating along the line of the G.
Il o. Ry in W. Va, and have commit
ted robberies at nearly every station.
1.-THE work of this gang, beginning at
Coalburg, has been very successful. At
Sewell they got 5000 from J. w. Craw
ford. At every station on the G. g. o.
they secured money valuables. At Hin
ton, however, a colored man named
Howard was arrested, and on him was
found two watches which were stolen
at INITIAL and Beury. At Thurmond,
So1If
Chicken" Smith, was arrested and
valise in his possession was found to
contain number of watches--all sto.
len property. Both men were Jailed.
At Eagle, Fayette county, Jesse Ruffin,
the ring leader, was arrested and taken
to Sewell. Ruff1n had an elegant trunk,
filled with jewelry and valuables,-all
OF which were identified. While hand.
cuffed in the telegraph office at Sewell,
guarded by deputy, Ruffin made his
escape by jumping over the telegraph
operators head and running up the
mountain side. He was seen next day.
barefooted and still handcuffed but es-
capped all pursuit, and probably was
met by his pals, who filed off his cuffs.

but entered several other houses and
stole something to eat. Our informant
says they went to Buchanan, where
they continued their depredations. 1t |

A Bunch of Accidents.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Proctor met with
bad accident on Monday morning
when their team ran away going down
the Curtis creek side Of Nine mile hill,
and dumped both of them, with con-
siderable force onto tho hard road. Par
ticulars of the accident are not obtain
able, but both Mr-and Mrs Proctor
were badly shaken up and bruised. Dr.
Bruner was summoned and found them
suffering more from nervous shock than
anything else and at last accounts they |
were in favorable condition. At the time
of the mishap, Mr.. and Mrs. Proctor were
returning to their ranch after witness
ing the marriage OF their daughter.
After the Proctor accident, q. B.
Kelly was going up there with medicine.
and when at point near where the
above mentioned accident occurred, his
bicycle struck small rut in the road,
throwing him head foremost down the
grade about thirty feet. He was riding
at full speed and the force of 'the fall
broke his collar-bone in three places
and knocked him senseless. Simp Harp
was following some distance in the rear,
with DR.. Bruner on his way to the Proc
tor residence, so that Mr.. Kelly didn't
have to remain long on the roadside be-
fore he was picked up and properly cared
for. On his return to town, DR.. Bruner
set the injured member and now Kelly,
who is blessed with good health as a
general thing, will soon be again at his
post behind the prescription counter in
the City Drug store.
On the same day (Monday) word was
received here of two serious accidents
to White river people, on the outside.
Mr.. Leon Marcott, who was in Omaha
with cattle, was found in his room in a
hotel there in an unconscious state, rs
the result Of escaping gas. The cause
of this almost fatal accident was de-
ivurr'O S'.o ',,ss 49,
But the most serious accident in the
lot happened to Owen Lunney, who was
also out with cattle and had reached
Rifle on his return home. at this
station the night train doesn't more
than "slow up" for passengers to get off,
and as there was quite crowd dsem-
barking the other night and Mr.. Lun-
ney was the last to make the jump, the
train was going at rate Of fifteen
miles an hour before he made the effort,
and the result was that he landed on his
head and was picked up insensible by
his companions. The top of the injured
mans head was found to be badly
bruised and the skull fractured. Med
ical aid was summoned and Mr.. Lun-
ney's wound dressed. An examination Of
his wounds showed that while not neces-
sarily fatal they were dangerous and
would need close attention. AS soon as
able, Mr.. Lunney came home and is
now getting along nicely under DR..
French's care.
The railroad company is responsible
for the accident.
