CIURREn TO DEATH.

Will a heavy club, striking from be-
hind bis victim, Ernest Mullen, felled
and killed Warren O'Hare at Water
ford, Loudoun county, Monday night.
O'Hsre was an employe at the navy
ward ia Washington, and had been
spending his vacation at Waterford.
he was very attentive to q young lady
of that place, about whom Mullen Is
alleged to have made an indecent re-
marx. Mullen made no denial OF the
story, and there was a heated dispute
between the two men, which ended,
however, without more serious trouble,
O'Hare offering to fight Mullen then
and there and the latter declining the
combat. Not more than ten minutes
later, while O'Hare was standing in
front OF livery stable talking with
Victor Schooley, Mnllen, with heavy
club in his hand, sneaked up behind
and struck with vicious force upon
O'Hare's head, and then, with great
rapidly, dealt two more blows before
his victim fell. Throwing aside biz
club, Mullen then jumped upon
O'Hare, who, py this time, was stretch
ed upon the ground and kicked him
brutally. While the bystanders were
still dazed by the suddenness Of the at
tack, Mullen left the scene and made
for the country, nobody stopping him.
Yesterday morning, however, he was
caught and sent to Leesburg to jail.
O'Hare died without knowing the
cause OF his death. He did not see
Mullen approach and was stunned by
the frat blow. He lived for. about
thirty minutes, and just before he died
he regsined CONSCIOUSNESS and asked
ths'physician who was attending him il

Penniless in a Foreign Land.

London, July 25.-The story describ'
ing the discharge of Canadian yolun-
teers from London hospitals in home
less and penniless condition has created
a sensation and fear is expressed for tee
bad effect of such action on Canadian
loyalty. The official explanations say
that those discharged were iucapitated
by sickness. The explanation adds
that the soldiers "were given shilling
day and thus there was ample pro-
vision, but nothing can be done to pre-
vent q man squandering his money I"
This explanation is regarded as adding
insult to injury, as one shilling day
might sustain life in the Wnitechapel
slums, but is barely sufficient for one
meal in decent parts ofthe city. Hence,
the discharged men have nearly starry
ed and spend their nights on park
benches.

that forty-one years ago negro slavery
existed in the South. He forgets thai
some wears earlier it existed in Massa'

prevails even now in the mills and fac

ONE OF the most pronounced repuo-
lican Northern new papers says the

the absolute assurance of the electoral
votes of the eleven @stes of the "old

South sticks in the crsw of the average
Northern republican yet, and, next 10
public plumber, is the strongest cement
that binds them together. But STILL
whenever there is anything to be gain
ed 10 the North by the help OF the
South, 'bygones are bygones." The
South tried to secede in 1861 because
she was denied the rights guaranteed
her by the Constitution. New England
tried to secede in 1872, because her ship
ping interests were in danger. Bu'
while the republicans love the latter
thew hate the former.
