Canton, o., Aug. 22.-Major Mckin-
ley devoted considerable time to the
work of reading the proof of that part
Of his letter of acceptance which has

have cheap dollars, but dollars just

GOLD VEIN REDIsCOvERED.

Manassas, Va, Aug. 22.-Gold has
recently benn discovered on a branch
emptying into Bull Run, six miles,
southwest of Manassas, on property
owned by daughter of William
Simpson, in this county. Investiga-
lions thus far prove that the gold is
IN paying quantity, and the prospec-
tor is sanguine of striking rich vein.
The lead has been traced from Penn
sylvania, and this is the only point
where it has cropped out sufficiently to
enable the working of it at COMPARE
lively small expense. Before the
civil war this same vein was traced
and worked for a while to point in
Fairfax county, six miles distant from
the present point of discovery, but as
the ore was so far from the ground
surface it was not found profitable
and the work was abandoned. There
is keen interest in this section in con-
sequence oe the rich discovery. Indi-
cations favor the finding of precious
metal on properties adjoining that Of
the Simpson estate.

POLITICAL SENSATION.
Col. Bouck VIII Likely Challenge
Gen. Bragg to Duel.

Chicago, Aug. pa special from
Milwaukee says: One of the sensa-
tions Of the Wisconsin campaign is
an interview with Gen. Bragg at Fond
du Lac on Col Bouck's candidacy for
governor on the free silver ticket.
Gen. Bragg declares that Bouck is a
physical coward" and that his dec
larations that he will be a candidate
are mere wind and moonshine, while
Gen. Bragg says that it is not the sill
yer question that has made Bouck and
himself at odds with each other, but
rather Bouck's insulting manners.
Bouck may, it is thought, challenge
Bragg to fight duel. They live with
in twenty miles of each other.

SUIT FOR BLACKLISTING.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. DIV. 7.
Taylor has brought suit against the
Chicago Great Western railroad for
$1,000 damages. He claims that he
has been blacklisted by the Chicago
Great Western and by other roads
through the intervention of that road,
and is unable to obtain the work for
which he is best fitted, by training and
experience.
Taylor was a passenger brakeman
at the time of the A. r. U. strike. He
claims that he did not strike, but con-
tinued to work for the company until
July 8, 1894, when, by reason Of be-
ing worked over hours, to take the
place of men who had quit, he was
taken sick, and was under the doc
tors care for nearly a month. When
he reported for duty again he says he
was told the company did not believe
the story that he was sick.
Thereupon he was blacklisted. 1t
it said that Taylor's suit is but be-
ginning, and if he wins, the men who
struck and have not been given work
since will bring further suits for dam
ages, claiming that the fact of the
striking does not warrant their being
blacklisted.

Toronto, Ont, Aug. pas a result
of the friendly conference between
Premier Laurier and his colleagues
and the Manitoba ministers at Otta-
wa, Messrs. Cameron, Sifton and Wat
son, a settlement of the Manitoba
school question has been arrived at.
This gratifying result is entirely
due to the conciliatory policy pursued
by NJ. Laurier and his colleagues,
which has had such a splendid effect
in educating public opinion upon the
whole subject.

TELEPHONE
FED A MILLIONAIRE UNAwAREs

Hatboro, Pa, Aug. 22.-Herbert
Pritchard, a foreman on the Trenton
cutoff branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, living at HeatOn, one mile
below this town, rendered his resigna-
ton to the company, and has a pub
lie sale of his household goods adver-
tised, reward for an act of kindness
being the cause of his resignation.
One day last week a shabbily attired
young man came along by the house
of Pritchard and asked for something
to eat. Without any hesitation his
request was granted, and the tramp
was taken into Pritchard's household
and kept there for several days. The
stranger informed that his name was
Flaschman, and that he was worth
So 900 in his own right, and, more
over. that he would reward him ain
money as well as with friendship.
Everything turned out as F1aschman
stated. The young millionaire is alb
sent from his home on account of re-
ligious differences. 1t is said he has
already placed $500 in Pritchards
keeping, and will shortly deed other
property to him. He also introduced
Pritchard to resign his position, and
the latter will henceforth act as COM
panion to the millionaire. They are
making arrangements to sail for Eu-
rope.

DON'T WANT SILVER.

st. Johns, n. F.. Aug. 22.-All banks
doing business in this colony refuse
to accept American silver coin under
any circumstances and demand ) per
cent. discount on American notes.
The policy holders of the American
life insurance company are starting

The uncertainty of the financial and
political problems in the United States
is responsible for this.

HELEN NJ. COUGAR KISSED.

Champaign, ILL.,, Aug. pat the
Twin City Chautauqua Gen. John B.
Gordon, of Georgia, was announced
to speak on 'The Last Days of the
Confederacy." When the audience
had assembled, one Of the largest of
the encampment, Mrs. Helen NJ.
Cougar, of Indiana, who had been
speaking in the forenoon, took the
platform apparently to conclude her
mornings speech. Immediately she
drifted into a free silver argument
and the audience became restless.
Finally tire were Kisses and open
protests, increasing in force with calls
for Gordon, frequently repeated. The
master of ceremonies arose and said
Mrs. Cougar would have to be heard
till she was through.
This did not quiet the protests, and
when Mrs. Cougar attempted to con-
tinue a large number of the audience
left and went to the headquarters tent,
demanding their money back, on the
ground that they had paid especially
to hear Gen. Gordon and would not
submit to free silver speech instead.
In the dilemma Mrs. Cougar cut her
speech short and the senator from
Georgia took the platform.

THE UNIQUE SOLD.
She VIII Probably be Used as Gu
ban Filibuster Craft.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 22-The sale Of
the swift steamer Unique is closed.
The nominal purchaser is NJ. c. Cole,
of Chicago, who is said to represent
other people. The purchase price is
private, but it is stated to be $4,000.
If for the Cuban cause, as is suspect
ed, the Unique will be taken down
the Welland canal and st. Lawrence
river to the Atlantic. She is 1913 feet
long and 80 feet beam. She has de-
veloped a speed of over 20 miles an
hour, but constant misfortune has be-
fallen her by her machinery giving
out. AS filibustering vessel the
Unique can easily run away from any
thing in the Spanish navy. The ne
gotiations have been under way for
sometime.

was blowing from the north west which
alone saved the house. AS it was the
heat was so intense as to warp the glass
in the windows. A barn situated over
200 yards to the south east of the burnt
buildings on the top of hill, was set on
fire by flaming shingles which were
carried by the wind, but the fire was ex-
tinguished before much damage was done.

RECOUNT OF BALLOTS
Cast at the November Election Ordered
by the Judges of the Circuit Court.

Cast at the november EleCLAOn OT0eFeu
by the Judges of the Circuit Court
In the Circuit Court on Saturday, Chief
Justice George M. Russum, in the matter
of the contested election cases of Messrs.
Clark, Williams, Mccullough and Christie
the republican candidates at the last
election for County Commissioners,
States Attorney and County Treasurer
respectively, issued an order which says.
The Court having heretofore to wit, on
the 24th day of January 1896, passed an
order directing the Clerk of this Court to
produce in open Court at the hearing of
the petitions filed in the above entitled
cases before the Judges of the Court the
ballots cast at the election held in Cecil
county on the 5th day of November, 1895,
said order being merely pro form and
passed in view of an agreement which
the Court understood had been made be-
tween the counsel ofthe respective parties,
that should the Court be of the opinion
that the petitioners were entitled to have
the original ballots in Court to be used in
evidence at the hearing of said petitioners,
the counsel for the respondents would
then consent that a recount of the ballots
should be made before an examiner to be
appointed by the Court, and it having
since transpired that counsel for the res
pondents declined to consent to any order
by the Court such as the Court had under
stood as aforesaid they would consent to
and the Court being clearly of the opinion
that the petitioners are entitled to have
the original ballots cast at the election
held in Cecil county on the 5th day of
November, 1895, produced before the
Court at the trial of this case, i'll open
court for the purpose of examination, in
spection and the counting (if necessary
of such of them by the Court as the Court
may deem legal ballots.
The order further directs the Clerk of
the Circuit Court to produce the fourteen
boxes containing the ballots cast at the
election before the commissioner, Joshua
P. McCay, Esq, already appointed to
take testimony in the cases. The ballots
are to be counted by George R. Ash and
Samuel H. King, the tally to be kept by
R D. Rowland and P. M. Groves, and to
be finished by April Fl. A return of all
the testimony taken before the commis-
sioner is to be made to the Court by the
same date. The contestants claimed the
right to have the recount made and use
its results as a basis for sustaining their
charges of fraud irregularity, etc.
Albert Constable and Henry M. Nc
Cullough represented the contestants,
and George A. Blake and c. c. Crothers
the contestees.

Circuit Court.

James Henry Truss, who was
convicted in the Circuit Court for
Cecil county on Tuesday, April Sd
of the murder of Capt. Thomas
Camp, at Chesapeake City, on
January I'd last, received his death
sentence Saturday morning. AS
sociate Judge Joseph A. Wickes
alone sat upon the case. The court
room was thronged with a curious
crowd of people. The murderer
was brought into court shortly after
it convened by Sheriff Harvey H.
Mackey and took a seat in the
dock. He was unmoved by the
sentence that will send him to the
gallows.
Judge Wickes asked the con
demned man if he had anything to
say before sentence should be
passed, and the prisoner in clear
voice, without a tremor, said that
the court had not done him justice.
This was all the prisoner said, and
the Judge then reviewed the case
and proceeded in solemn tones to
sentence the prisoner to be hanged.
Judge Wickes then directed that
the sheriff remove the prisoner to
the Jail. None of Truss's relatives
were present, but large number
of Chesapeake City people were
present at the time.
Thus ends a most notable murder
trial. While Captain Camp was
comparative stranger to Chesapeake
City, the people almost to a man
believed Truss committed the crime
and were anxious that he should
pay the penalty.
The court Saturday afternoon, a
full bench being present, refused
the motion of DR.. Windolph for a
new trial in the case against DR..
John Sappington and G. G. Ely, of
Hartford county, Md. This was a
case for SANDER, the plaintiff claim
ing $40, 200 damages, and was tried
at the September term of this court
and verdict for the defendants
rendered. The case will now go to
the Court of Appeals. G. g.
Crothers and Austin l.. Crothers
represented the defendants and
Young Il Constable the plaintiff.
Conrt adjourned until the Sep
TENDER term.
