Augusta, 6a., Oct. 8.—Sunday after- It is a great thing for a party of men to stand for principles and for measures. It is a great thing for people to rally in solid phalanx in defense of that po litical party that offers the best plat form of principles. Hut a party that presents upon its platform a man who is not worthy of ttie confidence of the people, should not be supported. A platform is not worth a cent with out a MAN upon it. ■__1 he Democracy presents the best platform in the country and it has a nan upon it that commands the respect of tbe people. llow is it with the Third party? W itbout discussing its platform, which is worthless, look at the man who is running for President upon it. James B. Weaver, ex-Republican, ex- Greenbacker, present Third party man, and no telling what after the election. weaver on the south. What has he said from the stump about the people among whom he now comes askiDg their support. The fol lowing extracts are from the Congress ional Record, whichj Mr. Weaver couldn’t deny: “1 Want to Congratulate you first, fellow citizens, on the suppression of purely Democratic rebellion, gotten up by Democrats for the purely Demo cratic purpose of dissevering this Union, and perpetually establishing human slavery.”—Wen. J. B. Weaver at Albia, Iowa, July 18, 1806. “Here we have the old fight oyer again. The Confederate Democracy, North and South, in whicL the infa mous copperhead division of Iowa ap pears, are again contesting with Grant for the safety of the Union. As at Donelson, he proposes ‘to move on theii works at once,* and there is no escapt for this rank, traitorous herd, except in another surrender. Charge on them, follow Republicans, and spare not one, not even a deputy road supervisor, from total political annihilation.”—Gen. J. B. Weaver, at Bloomfield, Iowa, Sept. 4, ISOS. “And these men (the Democrats) ap pear and ask for your support. They should come on bended knees asking your forgiveness for the unspeakable crimes they have committed and the wretched miseries indicted upon our comtnon country.— Gen. J. B. Weaver, at Fpirfield, Iowa, bept. 18, 1870. The record of the Republican party appeals to the candid judgment of all men as unimpeachable, save, perhaps, that it was too lenient with the leading Democratic conspirators. The same old gang, save those who were Bbot or hung, are again conspiring to get pos session of the government next year.” —Gen. J. B. Weaver, at Keokuk, lows, Sept. 10,1871. “No Republican can over, under any circumstances, have any part or lot with the hungry, rebellious, man-hating woman-selling gang, corporated undet the name of Democracy, a name so full of stenoh and poison that it should be blotted from the vocabulary of civilized man and banded over to the, barbarism that it so fitly now and in all the past has represented.—Gen. J.B. Weaver, at Oskaloosa, Sept. 25, 1872. “We know that its (the Democracy’s) acts comprise murder, treason, theft, arson, fraud, perjury, and all crimes possible for an organization to connive at.”—General J. B. Weaver at Bloom field, Iowa, Sept. 26,1869. But the Third party men say this was all said just after the war and that Gen- oral Weaver thinks differently now. Nearly sixteen years after uttering these words, what did Weaver say ? Read along further from the Record “The above utterances by General Weaver were quoted by his colleague, Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in the pres ence of General Weaver, JULY 8, 1888. Mr. Weaver replied: “I have no doubt that I uttered, if not the words obtained in the extracts read before the House, equally as forcible and substan tially similar.” Mr. Henderson said: “There id no doubt of that.” Mr. Weaver said: “I HAVE NO THING TO TAKE BACK.” See Vol. 19, Tart 7, Congressional Re cord, page 6,147. Four years have elapsed since then. Has General Weaver anything to take back now ? If he has, isn’t it actuated by the office he is seeking? Can any loyal Southern man endorse him? No. The South will stamp him out. effect -oat on account of the entire ab- ' noon Bob Harris was shot and killed at ° f , cholera from this city since Summerville, better known as the “Sand Sept, iflth, no more hnUetins would be Hills,” by a notoriously bad negro named issued.

City of Mexico, Oct. 3.—The pro ject of the national railroad excursion to the United States has been abandoned on account of fear of the cholera. LONG DISTANCE RIDING. German and Austrian Cavalry Officers Competing for Frizes. Berlin, Oct. 8.—At 6 o’clook a. m. in this city and in Vienna, began a great international long distance ride, in which 141 German cavalry officers will race to Vienna, and 109 Austrian cavalry officers will race to Berlin. The prizes are seventeen in number and valued at 88.000 marks. The largest prize is 29,000 marks, and the smallest ,000 marks. The start here was made from the custom house in Temple of Freld. Herr Keoler, of the Union club, officiated as starter. Punctually at 6 o’clock Prince Frederich Leopold, ac companied by two officers, left the post and the long journey had begun. This party was foHowed at intervals 1 ten minutes by other competitors, who started either single or in groups. At 10 o’clock all the officers who were to start were on their way to the Aus trian capital. Other officers will start 84 hours later, and starts will be made until all of the 141 competitors are on the road. The competition is under the superin tendence of Major Von Metzstaff, three officers of the Guard, Colonel Von Kotz, Major Count Schaffgo and two Austrian officers, delegated on a Vienna com mittee. Among the competitors is Duke Gun ther, brother of the empress. They all ride in uniforms. From Vienna 109 competing Austrian officers will, on the ride to Berlin, corn- iete in groups of thirty-six, starting be- six and a]'* ' Ramsey was beating his wife when Harris, who was the marshal ol the town, went to her rescue. Matthews shot him in the face with a gun. Mat thews was captured and jailed. A mob composed of Harris’ friends, organized to take him out and hang him. Leading citizens urged the mob to let the law take its course, but not until after the mayor had- telegraphed the governor for the use of troops to queH the mob did they consent to disperse. Of course Harris’ friends were highly indignant and began assembling at his residence as soon as the murder became known. The prisoner was arrested and earned to the county jail, three miles away. No effort was made to take him from the officers. At night the excite ment grew more intense and the city and county authorities fearing the jail would he attacked the mayor telegraphed the governor for permission to call on the military. [The sheriff redoubled the county force, in all eighty men, well armed, guarded the jail aU night. Leading citizens met about seventy- five men at the orphan asylmn, all of whom were Harris’s friends. They were quiet, but determined. The citizens met them and gave them a calm talk and showed what the result would be. The sheriff had the jail guarded, and had orders to defend it to the last. These talks had a desired effect. A vote was taken by raising hands, and it was decided to disperse and let the law take its course. It was one of the most aggravated cases of murder ever committed in the city. There is no excitement now, and the jail is unguarded, and the negro will not he ljTiched. Everybody is congratu lating everybody else on the conduct of the mob. The negroes are as quiet as the whites. No excuse or defense is made by anybody for the murder. The negro is a notorious desperado, and has been in many scrapes before. r CHIEF COOLEY KILLED- The Leader of the Pennsylvania Gang of Outlaws Mot His Doom. Uniontown, Oct. 4.—Frank Cooley, the leader of the notorious Cooley gang, was shot and killed Monday afternoon at the home of his father, “Lute” Cooley, between Fair Chance and Smithfield. Early in the morning Sheriff Mo Cormick and a few deputies' from here slipped out quietly to Fair Chance before daylight to avoid the spies of the gang and joined the watchers in the field. Frank Cooley and Jack Ramsey, the two most daring of the gang, came rid ing down to the Cooley house about noon and in the afternoon went back of the house into a field which had been lately cleared of timber and was full oi stumps. "When the sheriff’s party came down on them Ramsey and Cooley were both half lying and half sitting against stumps with their Winchesters beside them. Sheriff McCormick was in ad vance, and while some distance off Cooley spied him. He and Ramsey fired five tunes at the sheriff without getting np, bnt all their bullets missed him. The sheriff had, meanwhile, taken refuge behind a tree, and from this place fired the ball that heart as ho lay ing him instantly, were fired at the outlaws by other mem bers of the sheriff’s posse. Ramsey started off on a run as soon as he saw his chief was kiUed, with some of the sheriffs party on his heels, racing after him, and firing as he ran, but ne got away. Coroner Holbert of Fair Chance was summoned and held an inquest on the body of the dead outlaw, and ha now lies at the home of his father. The greatest excitement prevails in the southern end of the county, and a feel ing of relief is felt over the death of the ontlaw leader. None of the sheriff’s party have returned, being stiff on the hunt for Ramsey. THE HORRIBLE DEATH STEVENSON’S PROGRAM. tween i . eight in the morniug.

AFTER Trying to COMMISSIONER PECK. to Compel 111m to Produce Private Papers in Court. Hudson, N. Y., Oct. 3.—The applica tion of E. Ellery Anderson for a manda mus compelling Labor Commissioner Peck to produce in court the private pa yers from which he compiled his report on the tariff, came up before Justice Edwards, ex-Senator Norton Chase ap pearing for Mr. Anderson and Edward Meegan for the commissioner of labor, Mr. Chase presented papers reciting that Mr. Peek had refused to allow public papers on file in his office and ob tained under the seal of the Labor Com missioner, to be examined, although it was strictly provided that the papers on file in his office were public property. They, therefore, asked for a peremp tory writ of mandamus to compel the production of such documents. Mr. Meegan for Mr. Peek presented an affi davit in which he states that the com munication and letters upon which his report is based were never filed, nor mad* record in his office, and were never the property of the state, but were pri vate letters, and whatever pro L ists in them is divided bet ween the nent and the several senders letters. Mr. Peck further swears: “I am ad vised by my counsel that under the de cision of Woolsey vs. Judd, 4 Deur, 370, and other kindred cases, the injunction would lie against me if I attempted in any way to make public that which I guaranteed should be private matter and held as secret and confidental as the head of the department in qnestion. “I am of the opinion, and so represent to this honorable court, that the public action of names or address of person and corporations who have furnished data upon which my report is based would be greatly injurious to thepublicinterests.” After arguments were heard Judge Edwards reserved his decision. ex- epo- of the i -P. r. makes costive cure* of all stages of Rheumatism, syphilis.

It Will He Some Time Ilefwre She Before the Lights Again. New York, Oct. 8.—Lotta, tho actress lies on a bod in a private sanitarium un der the treatment of a specialist, and it will be many weeks before she will be before the foot lights. Perhaps she i never come back to the public again. Lotta’s mother, Mrs. Crab tee, will not disclose the location of the sanitarium. She said: “My daughter’s illness had its origin three years ago. in Jersey City when she was playing “Musette.” There is a part of the play where she has to fall, bnt is caught before reaching the floor. This time she fell and nobody caught her. She was so injured that she had to be carried to New York on a litter. Her illness was a long one. A year later, while taking a carriage ride in Boston, the horses ran away, and she jumped from the vehicle and again severely in jured herself. She could not walk for six weeks except on cratches. She was not light in weight, as many suppose. She takes after her father in build, and has a long, stocky body and short legs. She was so ill on Saturday last that on the advice of a consultation of doctors she was taken to a sanitarium. Of Lizzie Murray, a ItufTalo Girl Wild Died From a S.iock of Fright. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 4, — One of the saddest results of the switch men’s strike is the death of Liz zie Murray, a sixteen-year-old girl, who died Saturday of shock. When the soldiers of the Twenty-second Regiment charged a crowd of stonethrowers on August 25, and shot young Michael Brod erick, Lizzie Murray was standing in the street. She saw Broderick pursued bytha soldiers, and watched the chase with terror-stricken face. She heard the sol diers cry out to Broderick to halt, and saw a soldier level his piece and fire at the fugitive, who toppled over the fence bleeding and apparently dead. The .strain was too much for her, and she f: luted. When she came to the horrified look seemed stamped on her face, and she screamed and appeared in sane from fright. She was taken home, and was seized with an attack of hys terics, which continued for several day. The best physicians in the city attend ed her, bnt she sank, and heart failure ended her life. Her nights were hours of horror to her, and she sank to dee only to spring up shrieking: “The sol diers! The soldiers 1” Her last cry was for mercy. A Duel by Moonlight, Little Falls, Minn., Oct. 4.—Alex ander Gravel and August Artman, well- to-do farmers, fought to the death with pitchfork and knife in the moolight three miles east of this place. Gravel and his father, Narcisse Gravel, with a young Italian, were on their way home to Gravelville, and Artman overtook them. A quarrel ensued, and Alexan der Gravel, a young man of 22, grap pled with Artman in the road, the for mer using a knife and the latter a pitch- fork. Artman was stabbed in twenty places, tbe fatal wound being mode in the lert thigh. The father of Gravel, a cripple on crutches, was unable to leave his vehicle to separate the combatants. He and the Italian are under arrest. A BOMB IN BROOKLYN. Portable Houses aud Systematic Killing Off of Fowls Whore Many Are Kept. English methods of managing poultry Jiffer somewhat from our own. An ex cellent English authority, writing to The Country Gentleman, tells that in the great majority of cases it is found better to have a number of small houses rather than a large one. The expense is per haps a little more at first, but not when is taken into account that with porta ble houses fencing is unnecessary, and dispensing with that more than compen sates for the greater cost The advan tages of keeping flocks of, say, fifty hens in one lionse, and placing these houses in different parts of the farm, must be obvious. For some unexplainable rea son fowls thrive and lay better in small numbers than when a great many of them are massed together. The writer referred to says: “I have never yet been able to find a reasonable explanation for this, but the fact is one that cannot be gainsaid.

Columbus, Oct. 3.—For some time past the United States authorities have not taken kindly to the mode of punish ment in vogue at the Ohio penitentiary, where a large number of United States prisoners are.confined. Word has been received here that a movement is on foot to make the penitentiary at Michi gan City, Ind., a general repository for United'States prisoners. General E. C. Foster, agent at the department of jus tice at Washington, is investigating the matter. The pnishment of such prisoners would then be entirely under federal control, and the biting humming bird and fright-giving dneking used in the Ohio pen would he unknown there. If the proposed change prevails, all United States prisoners will be taken there from the Ohio pen. Snch prisoners were first sent from other states here under Warden Coffin’s administration, and, as the crop of Ohio criminals never fails, it would suit Columbus citizens to get rid of this foreign talent TBE RESULT OF MERIT. When anything stands a test of fifty ye rs among a discriminating people like tbe Americans, it is pretty gooc evidence that there is merit somewhere. The value of a medicine is best proved by i > continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as w» 11 as by a steady increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with suoh continued snooess and popularity as has marked the introduction aud progress of Branorxth's Pills, which after a tri 1 of c»v r fifty year®, are conceded to be the afest and m< at effective purgative and blood purifi.r introduced to tne public. This is tbe result of uerit, anl that Beakdreth’b Pills actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclu sively proved by the fact that those who . regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them tbe longest. Bbamdbkth’s Pills are sold in every i drug or meiicine store, either plain or sugar coated. Dynamite Thrown in the Center of the Town Endangering Several Lives. New York, Oct. 8.—At 10 o’clock a. m., a dynamite bomb was thrown from a window in the Garfield building, in Brooklyn, opposite the city hall, which exploded on the pavement. The noise of the explosion was heard a quarter of a mile away. Providentially no one was injured, al though the streets in front of the build ing was busy, as it usually is at that time of the day. Lena Doramns, 15 years old, who lives in St Mark’s place, was standing within twenty feet from where the bomb ex ploded, and was badly shocked, but es caped without personal injury, although Cue of her shoes was nearly tom from her foot. Ex-Mayor Hunter was passing within a hundred feet of the spot when the bomb was thrown, and the police think that it might have been intended for him, although they can give no plausible reason'lor this belief. The bomb was made of papier mache. Within a minute of the explosion, hun dreds of people filled the street, and Were with difficulty kept out of the building. No arrests have been made. Strange as it may seem, no damage was done to the building. A Mystery Solved." Columbus, O., Oct. 3.—On the 9th of last month a stranger left a horse and buggy in charge of A. J. Fleming a liv eryman, stating that he would return for It in a few hours. He never came back, and was supposed to have been mur ed and robbed, as he had considerable money with him. The case has attracted much attention in police circles, but the mystery was unsolved until Friday, When it was discovered that the horse and buggy were stolen by J. W.

I—PORTABLE POULTRY HOUSE, such as 1 have mentioned placed in the comer of a field fifty fowls can be kept quite easily, and as it can be moved quickly there is no danger whatever from disease arising from foulness of the ground. I send you herewith illus trations showing sowo cf tho portable houses used in this country, and from them you will see what we have found best. Some time ago I was at a farm iu the north of England, where 2,400 laying hens are kept. These were placed out in flocks of fifty, as suggested, and as the land upon which they were running was also occupied by dairy cattte there was no danger of the ground being con taminated. Around each house was placed a low fence to keep the cattle from rubbing themselves thereon. In this way so large a number of fowls as named are kept in perfect health, and 1 may say that in places where poultry are bred extensively this is the better plan. Of course there is a little more trot* ble involved, in the direction of feeding cleaning collection of eggs aud general oversight than if the hens were al’ placed in one house, but I am sure th» additional trouble is compensated for by the fact that an attendant can better supervise a email number of fowls, see ing that all are healthy, than if there are several hundreds together. At any rate the additional labor is not found to be any drawback to the method I am ad vocating. One of the great dangers when keep ing poultry in large numbers is caused either by great waste of food or star vation of the fowls, and as either is cer tain to bring evil in its train it is most important that careful attention be paid to these questions. I have been in poul try establishments where the amount of food lying about would have kept all the poultry for several days, and in others where every grain was almost begrudged, and the fowls had certainly at some seasons of the year scarcely enough to eat.” There is a further matter to which Mr. Beale calls attention—viz., the im portance of killing off birds regularly. Concerning a pi n .e in Snssex, where this method is systematically carried out, he writes: “Here some hundreds of laying hens are kept, and in their sec ond year, so soon as they show the slightest 6igns of ceasing to lay, they are fed up for a week and killed. The result is that they sell for fair prices, because they are still in good condition, and they make room for young stock. Ha Loved Children. After she had seated herself in the ferry boat little Willie broke away from .her and began rolling around in tho dust and lirt before us all. “Ah, madam,” whispered the old gentle man, “do not try to stop little Willie. I love to see the child have fun.” “Yes, indeed." “It docs my old heart good,” he went on as Willie turned a double somersault; “it carries me back to the early days. I tell you, ma’am, there is nothiug like youth.” “That is true, sir,” she said sweetly. “It recalls to me, madam, the old farm, where I ouce romped, a care free mortal all the livelong day.” “Willie is such a good boy,” she ven tured as William yelled “Rats!” three times and threw up his hat. The old gentleman suddenly let out a roar that echoed over the river. “Wow-wl” he gasped, howling with pain. “Mercy, mel” exclaimed the woman, staring. “Why don’t you teach your boy some manners! He has just stuck a pin in my leg!” “But he is only a harmless child, sir.” “Wow-wl" “And his conduct carries you back to the early days.” “Wow-w!” “And youth fades so quickly, sir.” “Wow-w, ma’am—wow-w, I sayl” "And it reminds you of the days down on the old farm.” “That will do, ma’am,” he gasped, ris ing and glaring at us all. “I see, ma’am, that I am in the presence of a spoiled child—your sweet William. You expect we should all sing and dance, but you are mistaken, ma’am—mistaken to the ut most. I predict, ma’am, that your boy will grow up a burglar and a horse thief, and if he doesn’t break his mother’s heart before he Is twenty-one my name is mud, ma’am, mud, I sayl” And he flung himself out the door. Then mamma took little Willie to her arms and did exactly what all mothers would under the circumstances. She called William her darling boy and kissed him ou the dirty nose.—New York Herald.
