MRS. Anna X Dearborn, widow of
the late +. c. Dearborn, who was clerk
of the circuit court in Dade county,
has appealed to the voter in behalf of
the candidacy of S. O. Fits for this
office. Mr. Dearborn was elected two
years ago for four year term, and at
his death his widow was appointed to
the office till the next election. BY the
election of Mr.. Fits the benefits of the
Office will go to Mr.. Dearborn's family
for the four year term the same as if
Mr., Dearborn had lived to fill out his
full term. 1t remains to be seen if a
widows appeal will have the effect of
arousing the gallant blood of the sons
Of the good old county of Dade.

et. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Grand
Duke Nicholas Nioholaievitch, presi-
dent Of the council of national de-
Tense, narrowly escaped assassination
at the hands of the imperial guards in
the guard camp at Krasnoye-selo. It
appears that the grand duke was per-
sonally reviewing, maneuvering and
putting the troops through blank fir
Ing practice when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp-like hiss Of bull
lets about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched. The command to cease FIR
ing was Immediately given and the
soldiers of the regiment from which
the bullets came were marched back
to their quarters and an investigation
was begun in the hope Of ascsrtaining
from the barrels of the rifles which
Of the soldiers fired ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to have
been made.
Afterwards it was definitely estab-
Nshed that the shots were fred by the
First battalion of the sharpshooters
Of the guard, who advanced in rushes,
while making a sham attack on an
entrenched position. Fully 100 shots
were fired, but the impatience of the
eonspirators led them to open fire at
such distance as to Illustrate their
object.
