GEN. CoNEY is said to be very
much elated over the fifty odd thou
sand votes he received for Governor
OF Ohio. AS he and his friends
counted on very much larger vote,
we take this exuberance of spirit on
the part of the eccentric statesman
from Ohio to be nothing more than a
whistling in the dark to keep the
courage up. 1t is said, too, that
CoXey proposes to start paper next
year to be called Sound Monev,
which will advocate the free coinage
Of silver.

BEATEN BY THUGS.-On the night
of the Goth ult., at Huntington, Mr.
Il. b. Vowel, of the Times news
paper. was assaulted on the street by
four or five murderous thugs and
brutality beaten. The Times had
been making war on these tOughs,
and they took this cowardly method
of revenge. They were all arrested
and should be severely dealt with.
Huntington has also had sensa-
ton in the arraignment by Judge
MCGinnis, of the Criminal Court, of
the editors and proprietors of the
Times for contempt, their offense
being IA criticism of the action of the
Court in the trial of certain parties
charged with prize fighting. All
were fined and in addition Mr.. Vow
ell was sent to Jail, but was promptly
released by Judge Harvey, of the
Circuit Court, on writ of hd6edS
corpus. From the account Of the
proceedings given in the Times,
Judge McGinnis seems to have had
an exalted opinion of his own dig
nifty, and used the power of his
Court to inilict punishment the JUS
tice Of which may well be ques-
Toned

EXTRA SESSION Of our
State exchanges are urging the Gov
ernOr to call an extra session of the
Legislature this winter to re-arrange
the judicial circuits and to supply
deficiencies in the appropriations for
the expenses Of the State govern
ment, which the Legislature, at its
last session, ignorantly or wilfully
failed to make. The Legislature
with false idea of economy and in
its desire to make little cheap po-
litical capital, failed to perform a
plain duty imposed upon it by law
that is to provide the means neces-
sary for the proper conduct of the
various departments of the State
government. This neglect of duty
will greatly embarrass the executive
department of the government, and
may necessitate the heavy expense
Of an extra session, though it is not
probable that the Governor will con-
vene the Legislature if there be any
possible way by which an extra SEES
sion can be avoided.

THE UNITY CLUB.
Another Highly Successful Seasons Work
closed-Freeins the Lithsow Library.

The meeting this week, closed another
season for Unity Club and completed
the programme of Living American
Authors" This study has been enjoyed
by all and has brought out much original
thought and many personal "reminiscences,
which have been especially helpful to the
younger members of Unity. The etten-
dance has been good and the president,
Judge O. G. Hall, has rarely failed to be
in the chair promptly at $50 on alter
nate Monday evenings. The parts of each
programme have been thoughtfully pre-
pared SO as to best present the style of
thought and expression peculiar to each
author At the last meeting Prof Chas.
4. Cook read Il fine paper, telling in a
clear concise and entertaining way of
the life and writings of James Parton
and William Mathews. Miss Ellen Ham
len Butler was present and favored the
club with two original poems, ''When
Spring Comes up the Kennebec, and
"Comforted. Miss Robinson sang with
much expression "The Dawn and
Spring. The course of study for next
winter was discussed and the new pro-
gramme will soon be announced. The
members of Unity are ever awake to the
interests Of the city and believing that
the great underlying principles of good
citizenship is the education of the people
and that it is of the utmost Importance
that every means possible should be en-
ployed to advance that education, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted at the last meeting of the club
held April s.
Whereas, Unity Club recognize the
value of Lithgow Library as an educa-
tional factor and realizes that it's influence
would be increased by making it free
therefore be it
Resolved That we believe that the
highest interests of the community would
be advanced if the city government would
make such provision for the library as
would make its use, under reasonable
rules, free to all the inhabitants of Au-
gusta.

One of the funniest 10 kcs that has been
related for long time came to the notice
of one of the journal men the other day
and plainly demonstrates the easy man
ner in which a well known man in this
city cvaded paying bill on a certain
night 1t may not be out OF place at the
beginning of this story to say that he
was obliged to step up and pay later, de
spite the fact that tho collector treated
upon cigars for the fine joke played upon
him. 1t seems that only week ago II
man was sent to this city to collect some
bills for "A firm and was provided with
the list of names of the parties whom he
was to callupon. One Of the gentlemen he
was to see was Mr.. Jones, at least it will
at this time be assumed that was his
name, or non dc plume, just as you wish
Mr.. Jones lived on certain street and
the collector started from the North to
find his victim. He was not familiar
with the lay of the city and was of course
somewhat puzzled to find where Mr.. Jones
resided On his way TO the indebted
mans home he was ovcrtaken by man
whom he asked where Mr.. Jones lived.
II am going quite near there and will
show YOU, said the good samaritan who
had overtaken him. "Ah 1 will be very
grateful if you will, was the quick re-
ply of the man who was travelling with
the intent of relieving Mr.. Jones of quite
a fair sum of money. Finally street
corner was reached and the man informed
the collector the house in which MIR.
,Joros lived, receiving for his kindness
half dollar. The two parted and the
collector approached the home of the man
he had been looking for and rang the bell.
Mrs. Jones responded and told the coilec-
tor that Mr.. Jones had gone down town
and that he must be on the way home
now as it was time for him. To cut the
story short the man whom the collector
met was Mr.. Jones and he received the
money in order to play the joke upon the
collector.
