the Richmond Times says
nIt is such comment as this that forces the
conclusion, in spite Of deniais OF senator
Daniel and others, that the Chicago platform
was an assault upon the highest court OF the
laud."
AS many people never read the al
legged assault upon the highest court OF
land, and as many others have forgot
fen it. the full text Of that assault is
again printed for their especial benefit :

REUNITED.

4 wandering husband and a loving
and faithful wife met yesterday morn.
ing in the main corridor of the post
office in Baltimore, and after few
minutes conversation settled their do
nestle difficulties. The interesting
episode happened shortly before noon,
while the building was crowded with a
busy throng, but no one but the well.
dressed couple who talked quietly but
earnestly knew that woman's heart
had been made glad. The couple were
DR.. B. 81. E. Muth, prominent ply.
stefan of Philadelphia, and his wife
1t was through the efforts of Detec'
lives Stunt and O'Donnell that DR.. and
Mrs. Muth met in the postofice. Sew
sral days ago Mrs. Muth called at
Stunt & O'Donnell's Office, and told
them the story of her grief, caused by
the absence of her husband.
She said her husband had done her
no wrong before he left their com.
Portable home, and she had given him
40 cause to absent himself. Mrs.
Muth told the detectives she had
learned that DR.. Muth was in Baltimore
and she was anxious to find him,
because she was satisfied that when she
saw him their troubles would be at an
end. The pleading tones of Mrs. Muth
and her convincing appearance OF true
womanhood caused the detectives to
become interested in the case, and they
went to work with their usual energies.
They inquired at a number of hotels
and boarding houses, but failed to 10.
cate the missing physician. A photo
graph of DR.. Muth and an accurate de-
scription of him was obtained from Mrs.
Mulh, and the search was continued. II
occurred to the detectives that DR..
Muth would probably visit the postof-
fee to ask for letters. In company
with Mrs. Muth, Detectives Slant and
O'Donnell went to the postoffice yes.
terday morning. Mrs. Muth was in
structed to remain on the sidewalk
while the detectives went into the
building. A. well-dressed, tall man was
seen standing at the general delivery
window, and Detective SluDt immedi-
ately recognized his man from the pho

tive O'Donnell. "You slip outside and
notify Mrs. Muth."
Detective O'Donnell went to the side.
walk and informed the lady who had
been patiently waiting that her hus-
band was inside. With quick step
Mrs. Muth entered the building. She
walked up to her husband and placed
her hand on his arm.
DR.. Muth turned and saw his wife at
his side. A short glance at each other
followed, and then DR.. Muth kissed his
wife. They conversed for few min.
utes, and Mrs. Muth passed her satchel
to her husband. Detectives Stunt and
O'Donnel watched the reunion of the
couple from a distance.
When the pair finished their private
conversation they approached the de.
tectives. DR.. Muth said "Gentlemen,
suppose you are detectives, and have
been searching for me-" Messrs. Stunt
and O'Donnell admitted the correctness
of his snrmise, and DR.. Muth then
thanked them for bringing him and his
wife together again.
II left home to better our condition,
said DIR. Muth. This was all the e1-
plapation he would give. The couple
left the postofice together and returned
to Philadelphia.

slaughter and fixed their punishment at
one year in the penitentiary. Sibert
was constable in Shenandoah county,
and he had deputized Rice to assist him
in serving warrant on Bowers for the
larceny of lot of corn. After con-
siderable parley Bowers started to run
away from the officers. Sibert ordered
Rice to shoot, intending, he said, only
to stop the fugitive, but the shot took
effect and Bowers died few days later
of peritonitis. Both Rice and SibeTt
testified that neither of them had the
slightest intention of doing the man any
bodily injury. Both proved good
character as citizens snd as officers. A
motion for new trial of the case will
be argued next Wednesday.

Troublous Times in San Salvador.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. PA
dispatch from Libertad, San Salvador,
states that Bsrrios shot Juan Aparacio,
the most prominent exporter and i'm
porter in Central America, on the day
that the revolutionists took San Mar
cos. Morales and his $4,000 victorious
troops are in Antigua. 1t is said here
that if Barrios is bold enough TO cause
the execution of so eminent a man as
Aparscio, be will not hesitate to carry
out wholesale slaughter among the
people who oppose him. No cause is
assigned for the killing, but there is
every reason to believe that Aparacio
was shot because he refused to give
moral and financial aid to Barrios.

Hurricane Coming, Says Virgins.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 25.-Professor
Virgins says that great storm is near.
He argues: 1.-THE moon will be in con-
junction with Jupiter and Mercury on
the 25th, and Mars on the 9th. The
moon crosses the celestial equator on
the 18th, moving southwark. She will
be in conjunction with the sun on the
26th at o'clock p. NJ, London time,
and will be at her perigee, or nearest
point in her orbit to the earth, on the
2sth. These are all, or nearly all,
dangerous elements to the mariner, for
they indicate storm on the afternoon
of Wednesday, the 29th, instant, with
high tides on the North American
COAST

GENERAL PALMER, who headed the
bolter's ticket last fall, advises the ne
groes at Alton in his State to persist in
their refusal to send their children to
the negro schools provided for them
there, and to insist upon forcing them
into the white schools, in opposition to
the orders of the town officers and the
school board, and hiss volunteered to
secure them in the federal courts q
mandamus to compel the authorities
to admit negro children to white
schools. No wonder the Southern
