Ward, editor of the Exam iner. and the commonwealth's attorney for Washington county, while about to enter the Colonude Hotel, yesterday, about 4 1\ M was fired upon by Hr Win. W. White, inde pendent candidate for State Senator, who had been concealed in a store room opposite the hotel. White stepped out of the door and dis charged a shot gun. loaded with duck shot, at Ward, who fell, but recovering and rising on lus knees, drew a pistol and tired three shots at a young relative of White's, who was on jthe opposite side of tile street, behind a tree. White, in the meantime, stepped in door and hearing the firing came out _ and again fired at ard, who again fell. While he was lying on the ground two of White's relatives walked up and fired seven shots at Him, all of which took effect. Judge Ward is in a very critical condition and it is thought he cannot live. Hr. White and his two rela tives have been arrested and were bailed in the sum ot 87000 each. Great excitement exists in Abingdon and vicinity. Sued for Libel. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 28. The Sunday Globe of this city yesterday printed a story purporting to be a true story of the death of Jumbo and charging that he was purpoaely put in the way of the train by Barnum'a directions. Barnum has today instituted a suit for libel against the Globe. The office of the paper it attached. The damages are set at *50,000. The suit will come on at tbe October term of the superior court. SPORTING. the yachts. The Geue*ta Hina the nace for the Cape May Challenge Cup.—The Daunt less Beat by About Tbiity Miles. Atlanta City. X J Sept. 28. The Genesta rounded Five Fathom light ship at 3.35 P M Sunday. She was accom panied by the tug Luckenbuh At 5 45 the Dauntless was sighted off Hereford Inlet bound down and at least 20 miles behind the Genesta. The Genesta was becalmel off Bargate on Saturday night and did not pass there until midnight. At 8 o'clock Sunday A. M. she was off Atlantic City. Very light winds from the west and south prevailed on the ourse to the lightship. Alter 8 o’clock Sunday night a light wind prevailed and the Genesta was probably again becalmed. Light northeast winds came in rendering her return to Sandy Hook very slow. Sandy Hook, Sept. 28. The Genesta passed Sandv Hook lightship! at about 10.15 under mainsail, fore-topsail, jib, jibboom and sprit-topsail. Her correct! time could not be taken from shore, as the weather was hazy. The wind was light from the southeast. She was afterwards taken in j tow by the Luckenbach, which has kept her! company and is now passing the Hook. The j Dauntless is not in sight. The Genesta car ries below the signal of the Koyal Yacht Club, i at the masthead, three of her private signals, probably telling that she has won three races, j New York, Sept. 28. The British cutter Genesta which raced with the American schooner yacht Dauntless for the Cape May challenge cup has scored another victory. She made the distance from j Sandy Hook buoy No. 5, around Five Fathom Bank lightship off Cape Mas, and the return to the Sandy Hook lightship, a distance of 275 miles, in 42 hours, 14 minutes and 4f canvas except that in place of the fore-topsail she had the main topsail and the fore-topmast had gone by tin board It is not known how she came to lose her topmast, hut it is supposed that in carrying her balloon-topsail a gust of wind snapped it oil, it having probably been weak ened in the storm she encountered in the Brenton’s reef race. About 5 50 the Dauntless took a tack to the southeast and the steam tug went over and found that with the exception of the damage mentioned she was all right. At 0 20 the tug returned to watch the Genesta sight Absecon light, 10 miles off her port how. Little Egg Harbor light was made at 10 55 and at 11 Barnnegat light was sighted hearing northeast. One-forth mile off this point to the end of the race the trip was un eventful. At exactly 10-11-52 she rounded the Sandy Hook lightship. Her official time of the race was 42 hours. 14 minutes and 55 seconds, and her actual time 42 hours, J4 minutes and 40 seconds. She was then taken in tow bv the tug Luckenhach and conveyed to her an chorage off Tompkinsville, S. I. Dozens of yachts fired salutes tYom small guns mounted on their decks which the victor acknowledged by dipping her colors. .1. Beaver Webb was in charge of the cutter in the race. Sir Richard Sutton having gone bark to England. The Dauntless is expected to arrive at Sandy Hook lightship about 5 1*. M. Yachtsmen are at a loss to know how her topmast was broken off. THE TURF. Fast Karo* to be Held in Connection With the St. Loui« Fair. St. Loris, Mo., Sept. 28. The trotting races which will be held here in connection with the great St. Louis Fair that opens on Monday, October 5th, w ill be by all odds the best ever held there. All classes have filled well and the faster ones embrace quite a number of the swift horses in the conntry. including Maxey Cobb, j Phallus, Harry Wilkes, Joe Davis, Phyllis,; Sparkle, Adelaide, Bonnie, McGregor, Mam* brino and others. Among the pacers will be Richball, New Hope. Mike Wilkes. Billy J. and others. In addition to the purse races, for which 815,000 is hung up, a stake race lor two, three, four and five-vear-olds, in w hich will compete quite a number of the most noted young trutters from ali sections ol the country. The track is in fine condi-, tion and some very fast time is expected to j be made. The races will be undoubtedly one of the leading features of the Fair. base ball. Haverhill*. 6: Newburyport*. 4. Nkwhtryport, Sept. 28. The last league game between the Haver hills and Newburyports was played here this afternoon. Dilwotth and McDermott, lately released from the Newburvpors. formed the battery for the Haverhills and the “phenomi nal pitcher'’ was too much for the home team, they only making five hits off him. The score: Haverhills, 6; Newburyports, 4. Portland*. 9; Brocktoks. 6. Brocxtok, Sept. 28. The Portland-Brockton game today was witnessed by 405 people. The visitors out batted and outfielded the home team and won an easy victory. The Brocktons were unable to hit Weidel except in the fourth inning when two doubles and a single as sisted by three errors netted four runs, two earned. Fulmer and Wheeloek did fine work Bignell split bis finger and was obliged to retire at the end of the third inning. The score: Portlands, 9; Brock tons. 6. League Uane>.

Boston, Sept. 28. Savings Bank Commissioner Carry today made application before Justice (’has. Allen for a temporary injunction in case of the Framingham Savings Bank. Order of notice issued returnable Oct. 27 next, for the officers of the bank to show cause why this injunc tion should not issue. It is slated that recent developments show there w ill probably be a deficiency of about 8228,000; that the exami nation of the deposit books bring to light many financial irregularities, and tends to show that the late treasurer of the bank, Coleman Adams, was a defaulter and had ap proprited the funds of the hank. The ap propriation was made by not giving full credit in the deposit books for the lull arnouut de posited, and in falsifying dividend accounts. Its thought by placing tile bank under injunc tion it may be able to tide over the present financial embarrassment. The arnouut due depositors is about 8150,000. He states that tiie 8228,000 deficit referred to has come from the failure of Cashier Adams to enter part ol the dividends declared in the deposit account of his ledger, and the rest of it consists of deposits received which have not been ac counted for. and also of drafts which have been entered as paid in excess of what actually had been paid. These leaks extend over a period from 1870 until a recent date. The investigation is far from complete, and no final statement can be expected for several weeks. A Framingham special says the bank offi cials refuse to say anything in relation to the matter, as the aflairs of the bank are in the hands of the commissioner, and anv state ment of its condition should come from him. Such was the confidence reposed in late Treasurer Adams that many find it difficult to believe that the experts revelations can be true. The mystery is how he has disposed of the large sum of money. He was never known to engage in stock speculations, anil the only theory is it may have been used to support losing investments, or to help out side parties. The bank’s surplus w as estimat ed at about 8100,000 and the treasurer's bond was 820,000. The suspension of the bank will entail much suffering upon many of the depositors who are poor people whose all was in the hands of this bank. At the time of Adam’s suspension the directors assured the depositors that the bank was perfectly sound, and some feeling is manifested against them now on this account. It should be said, however, that none of the officers, as far as known, withdrew their own deposits at that time. _ HEAV Y ATTACH Al ENTS Placed Against Jordan, Alar-h A- Co., by New York Alaiiulartnrerw. Boston, Sept. 28. On Saturday attachments to tin* amount of .*'.>0.000 were granted by Judges Barrett and Donahoe of New York against Jordan. Marsh Co., in this city, in behalf of certain New York cloak manufacturers, and it is said that other attachments of the same sort are to be placed today. Mr Jordan says in relation to this that the claims made by these parties amount to lie tween §175,000 and §200,000, and that they propose to contest them and that if the court decides against the firm the claims w ill tie paid. Mr. Jordan thought the affair was a conspiracy against them through the medium ot one of their employes. B. F. Brooks, counsel of Jordan. Marsh Co. said Monday, “The ground on which mv client refuses to pay these claims is that it is a conspiracy to cheat. These goods have never been bought or received by Jordan, Marsh Co. Tire alleged claims are of re mote dates and there is no record of them whatsoever. It was done to head off anv legal action on our part. It is a case of fraud and w ill be treated as such.” The counsel said that the parlies who brought these suits were already trying to settle. These parties are well aware that when the tacts are brought to light their rep utation will he ruined forever and they have already begun to hedge. It could not be learned that any more attachments had been placed todav. New York, Sept. 28. The fourth attachment was obtained today from the supreme court in behalf of the firm of A. Friedlander Co., against the property in this city of the firm of Jordan, Marsh Co., of Boston, Mass., upon the balance due for goods sold and delivered betwee+i Aug. 1884, and June, 1885. amounting to $39,454. 1 The firm's property in this city has already been attached by the sheriff.

A Letter to the President—%n Import* nut Oecisiou by the Postmaster Gen eral—The Crow Creek Reservation— A Letter troru the Secretary of tbe Navy to the Naval Hoard—The Special Delivery System—Prevention Against Small Poi—A Faithful Officer Forced to Resign. Washington, Sept. 28. On the President's return from the Adri ondock Mountains he fount! awaiting him at the White House the following letter from Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, a well known authoress and advocate of Indian rights, which was written by her days before her death, Aug. 12th. 1885. To Grover Cleveland. President of the United States. Dear Sir—From my death bed 1 send you a message of heartfelt thanks for what you have already done for the Indians. I ask you to read my “century of dishonor.” I am dying happier for the belief I have that is is your hand that destined to strike the first steady blow towards lifting this burden of infamy from our country and righting the wrongs of the Indian race. With respect and gratitude. (Signed) Hklkn Jackson. The postmaster general has just rendered an interesting decision touching the right of creditors to attach the salaries of their debtors who may he postal employes. The post master at New York recently informed the department that attempts had been made to gurnishee the salaries of employes in his •ffice and asking for instructions in the mat ter. The postmaster general has decided that the salaries of postal employees cannot be attached for debt and will t miorrow send out instructions to the postmasters to disregard the attachments issued by state courts but to appear individually in court and state that he is possessed of no property belonging to the debtor. The salaries are to be regarded as United States funds until they pass from the hands of the postmaster into those of the em ployees. Agent Gassraan has telegraphed Commis sioner Atkins he has notified every settler in Crow Creek reservation to quit in accordance with the President's proclamation an 1 lie ex presses the belief that they will obey the notice. The commissioner declares that the settlers must leave the reservation even if it requires the whole military force to accom plish their removal. A letter has been sent bv the secretary of the navy for information and guidance of the naval hoard recently appointed to appraise the work ami material of the uncompleted cruisers. The secretary says “In view of the many authorized and erronous statements which have been made in reference to the contracts on the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago and for the purpose of guarding against any contusion in the minds of any member as to what specific provision you are called up »ti to perform, I make this communication to your board. First—The contract is your only reference for you authority and only under your ap pointment. The validity of the contracts have never been, as tar as 1 know, by any person assailed, an 1 I know' of no ground 1 on w hich they can be. There is no specific requirements as to the speed of these three ships to be found in the legislation author- I izing them and hence the ground on which the Dolphin contract, criticised by the ai torney general, does not exist in these eases, j Your are to assume, therefore, that the terms of the contracts and plans and specifications which are part of them mbody tin* record to 1 which you will make reference in the per I formance of vour duty. Second—Other nnstatements have been, widely circulated that this department has questioned the character of the work upon these ships and deems the contract not prop erly performed in this regard No sugges tion or intermaiion of the kind has ever been made bj this department and you will allow no such supposition to prejudice you against the contractor or ship. Your will of course deal fairly with both government and con tractor and as you find facts to be. Third—You are not assisting in the carry- 1 ing out of any secret compromise or arrange- ment between the parties, the terms of which you are not advised of. Work having been stopped the government has proceeded under the contract to take possession,and have an in ventory and appraisal made, and hereafter will doubtless find it wise tj complete the vessels where they he, hut all this is simply carrying out the duty of the government in the contingency which has arisen and calls for no consideration from you. Fourth—The duty which the contract im poses upon you under your appointment is to examine the work and materials on three ships, and ascertain and declare a fair market value thereof, including the reasonable and customary margin of profit upon so much of the work as shall have been satisfactorily performed. It mav simplify your preliminary deliberations somewhat and enable you to settle in your own mind the basis on which its proper for you to determine this question ot market value, if I state to you what seems to me he the course winch you are to pursue. In one sense, the market value of a partially completed naval vessel, useless for mercan- j tile purposes, would he almost nothing. Its saleable value might be said to be its value tor the purpose of junk. This is not the in terpretation to put upon the words as used in the contract So far as the government is concerned you j can treat the work performed and material at hand a« parts of the completed ships. You can determine the value by pro rating the work satisfactorily completed with the entire work required, and ascertain thereby the pro rata proportion of the contract price that work, represents. One of the ships is so near completion that as to it the following method of deurming the question might be adopted, assuming the value of the completed ship to be the contract price, by ascertaining the amount of expenditure necessary for her completion up to the requirements of the contract, would leave the value of the work performed, and its possible that the same j method might be more readily adopted in the other cases. In ail these matters its entirely proper for you to receive suggestions from the other parties to the contract, and in making this suggestion a- to your method of procedure, I may state I have done so after consultation witn the counsel ot the contrac tor and with the assignees, and they concur with me in this matter, but you will under stand that the method of determining the value is for you to decide and these sugges tions are made simply for vour consideration The postmaster general it about to istue an additional circular of instructions to post masters where the special delivery service has been established. Among other things the circular will advise the postmaster to im press upon the senders of letters bearing special delivery stamps the necessity of an accurate address, giving the name of streets j and the numbers of houses, wherever practi cable, or failing in that respect an indication j of the business of the person addressed. This last precaution is deemed necessary in small towns where no system of numbering houses prevails, and where there may be two or more individuals bearing similar names. The public will also be reminded of the ad vantage to be derived from writing requests for returns of non delivered matter upon the envelopes. The amount of silver dollars put into cir culation directly from the mints during the past two or three month is nearly double the amount simMarly issued during the corres ponding period of last year. The amount issued from the mins during the week ending Sept -*lth was 87:16,5*7 as against $455,895 for the corresponding period last year. Capt. Sherman O. Johnson, chief of the division of records, files and mails of the treasury department, has at the request of Secretary Manning tendered Ins resignation, to take effect Sept. 30th. It was accepted today. Capt. Johnson was appointed from Ohio in 1869 and has been constantly in the service ever since. There are no charges against him. His successor has been select ed and will be appointed in a few days. The secretary of the treasury has issued the following circular to custom officers in regard to the prevention ol small pox “In spectors and other officers of customs on the Canadian frontier will aid the sanitary in spectors of the Marine Hospital service, and similar inspectors acting under state author ities as tar as practicable without interfer ence with their regular duties, and furnish them such facilities for the examination of baggage as may be practicable.” The sec retary has appointed the following officials for duty on the railroad trains entering Ver mont from Canada; l)rs.

The Tribune reporter today interviewed Gen. Butler regarding the proposed Warner silver bill. The General had not read the bill but took advantage o! ihe opportunity to give an exposition of his financial views gen erally. lie declared that the withdrawal from circulation ot the one and two dollar bills was illegal law. tie declares there shall be so much greenback circulation outstanding and when it comes into the treasury it will be reissued. Manning says the ones and twos that come into the treasury will not go out again, if he may do that with the ones and twos he inav do it with the fives and tens and twenties. The law says he shall not do it with either of them. “Do you know why it is done?" “It is done to save the hanks from being forced by the people into the issue of frac tional currency.” To the reporter's suggestion that the sil ver question would be prominent in Con gress this winter the General responded “Let them keep it up, pile it all on the people, this and more, and in the end they will rise and throw off the yoke.” “Do you expect serious trouble?” “1 ilo. 1 Imve gram) children who will live to see the Vanderbilts and Goulds taken out to the nearest lamp-post and hung in the most scientific and skilful manner. After there has been bloodshed we shall settle down again for awhile. These money kings sec danger already, but they do not seethe reme dies.

Every man is a communist now in the eyes of the commun ity who preaches equality of men. As a head of the labor element I could have set tled this whole railroad question as no other in in could settle it. My mistake I made in running for the presidency was like running against a stone wall. 1 knew the people of all ages bad failed themselves in every crisis of importance to themselves. It is tile history ot ages, but I was foolish enough to think that the people had grown wiser and better, that the world had progressed in the direction ol human knowledge and under standing and power of consentration. 1 thought the laborers nt the new republic were more intelligent. They are not intelligent. They were afraid of me because 1 had a little prop Tty. They were lust as foolish as Gould. But that is not all. as II out of 10 of lie ni would sell their votes for a piece. It was a fool to think this age was any different from any other.

In consequence of the inauguration of the compulsory vaccination, today, about 7 this evening a howling mob surrounded the east end branch health office and completely wrecked the building. The police were pow erless and the mob gathering strength from this marched upon the central office in City Hall. By this time, however, the riot alarm had been sounded and a strong force of con stables were gathered inside, hut having no one to command them, the mob drove them out of their way like sheep. After the mob had smashed the central office they turned their attention to the central police station and soon had all the windows in that building broken. Revolver shots were freely find at the police. To scare them the police fired over their heads, only to be received with jeers and laughter- Things now looked so had that the police were armed with rifles with fixed bayonets, hut happily it was deem- ed necessary not to use them. i he constable! have now charged the mob, clubbing right and left, and succeeded in dis persing them, hut not before they hail wreck- i eil the greater portion of the Court House windows, which are opposite City Hall.

The executive committees of the Le high and Schuylkill coal exchanges have agreed to make a alight advance on the price of coal. The faster ocean steamers can travel the better for the passengers, no doubt; but quick trips are an expensive luxury tor the companies. The amount of coal con sumed is enormous, and the quantity of tuel carried diminishes the freight-carry ing capacity. The sportsmanlike conduct of Mr. Jay Gould in declining to race the Stiletto, but offering to bet 82,600 that he can drown Iter, is calculated to till the owners of slow boats with envy. The fondness for a sure thing induced by Mr. Gould’s financial habits clings to him in his hours of recreation. If, in defiance of treaty and other legal provisions, the permanent pioneers of the Northwest are in danger of being over whelmed by the “yellow misery,” as the Australians call the Mongolian invasion, they are certainly entitled to sympathy. They have unquestionably, however, by their conduct, which has been brutal and cruel to the last degree, estranged this sympathy in the breasts of every one humane enough to feel sympathetically towards anybody. While the cautious and deliberate pro cesses of diplomacy are still relied upon to solve the lluumelian problem, it is no ticeable that military preparations are still going on, secretly or openly, indicating that the question may, after all, be left to the arbitrament of the sword. Turkey on her part lias sent several battalions to the Koumelian Irontier, one of which is said to have marched over the border and oc cupied a village on the Maritza, proba bly to secure a point id crossing, should this become necessary, The Turkish fleet is also hurriedly preparing for work, and would undoubtedly make its first de scent mi the (iulf ot lioorglias. on the Kouiuelian sea-coast. The two Bulgarins, if so they may be called, are, on their part, tearing up railways, cutting tele graph, tortilying roads at narrow defiles, burning bridges, garrisoning the Balkan passes, and making other preparations for defense. Bulgarian cavalry has arrived in L’hilippopolis.and mounts lor other vol unteers are collected. Kven the women are already making clothing for the troops, and the speeches of Prince Alexander to' his new subjects are full of fight. Prof. Nichols, editor of Boston Journal of Chemistry, has declared that alcohol is no longer a necessity in any of the arts or sciences. Fifty years ago Prof. Muzzey at the head ol 1 Dartmouth Medical School, said in a lecture “1 admit that alcohol is something convenient; (but what is that taking into view the danger?) 1 deny that it is essential in physio or surgery. In a fainting fit we have amni mia and the vio Jatile oils. Is it required for tonic effect? the tonic roots, herbs and barks impart their invigorating properties to water or acid. The black drop is one of the best solutions of opium ever invented. As to medicinal resins, they may be given in a fine powder, rubbed with some inert triable substance, or dissolved in an essen tial oil, or made into an emulsion. The ordinary mode of using them does not carry them into the stomach in a stale of solution, as they are instantly precipitated in a floeeulent form on mixing with water or saliva. (As camphor.) As for the essential oils, they may be given in the form of liquid soap or emulsion rubbed with alkali, or sugar and water, then is no fear of undesirable results.” Ferdinand Ward says that on the night when lie consented to convey his property to W. S. Warner his wile gave him two doses otchloral to calm his nerves and that in consequence he “did not know what he was about.” It might be be supposed that he took the doses to drown thought of Grant A- Ward creditors and of his tran sactions with Warner. F'or all that War ner had to do when he wanted to make some money was to step in and say: “Well, what can you do for me to-day?” and straightway a contract giviug him 20 per cent per month profits was the result. Did Ward recall this and take chloral Did he remember that all these “profits” were paid from the money of others Ac cording to his own story, he had done all this for Warner without getting any ad vantage for himself. He had picked up Warner as an acquaintance and within a few months had been pouring millions in to his pockets, all for nothing! There was no division of the spoils; the profits all went to Warner. Why Bscause, of Ward’s generosity. He would have the public believe that was the sole motive actuating him. We are yet far from get ting at the truth concerning these amazing transactions. A Woman’s Speech. Mme. Salomon, the Ftench wife of the black president of the black republic of Havti, has exerted great influence on his ca reer. Prof. John M. Langston, late United Statea minister to Havti, related to me in her presence the other day, while she was here on her way home from Paris, the story of a speech made by her at a banquet in Port au Prince, which illustrates her force of charac ter and power. The banquet was given to President Salomon by the business and com mercial men of the Hajtien metropolis to refute the reports spread by his enemies that the m ineyed interests of his country were opposed to his administration. There was also talk that his rule meant French rule. Mme. Salomon was toasted and the president briefly returned thanks for iter. As he closed, 10 every bod. *s surprise, Mme. Salomon her self rose up. as she said to the banqueters, wholly against custom, to say for herself how much she thanked them for their courtesy. She went on speaking for ten minutes, while she said in substance that, though a French woman by birth, she was llaytien by mar riage, and that in her marriage to a black man she considered herselt married to the whole race, identified with it in every respect, and hound by every tie to devote herself to Havti and the black people. Her speech raised a round of applause and brought a support to the President that strengthened him immensely and at once. Indeed, Prof. Langston says, it put an end to ail the cabals then existing in opposition to Salomon Madame Salomon said to me in imperfect English, but with great feeling, “Something within me prompted me to speak. I could not have resisted if I would. But I trembled as I stood up so that I thought I should fall, and w hen I sat down and lifted mv glass my hand shook like a leaf in a gale.”—Cor. of N. Tribune. numerous Elephants. A young friend asked me once to show him some elephants in undress, and I took him along with me, having first borrowed an apron and filled it with oranges. This he was to carry while accompanying me in the stable, hut the moment we reached the door the herd set up such a trumpeting—they had scented the fruit—that he dropped the apron and its contents and scuttled off like a scared rahit. There were eight elephants, and when I picked up the oranges I found I had twenty-five. I walked deliberately along the line giving one to each; when I got to the extremity of the narrow stable I turned and was about to begin the distribu tion again, when I suddenly reflected that if elephant No. 7 in the row saw me give two oranges in succession to No. 8, he might imagine he was being cheated, and give me a smack with his proboscis—that is where the elephant falls short of the human being—so I went to the door and began de novo as be fore. Thrtce I went along the line, and then I was in a fix. I lud one orange left, and I had t" get hack to the door. Every elephant in the herd had his greedy gaze focussed on that orange. It was as much as my life was worth to give it to any one of them What w as 1 to do? I h *ld it up conspicuously, coolly peeled it. and sucked it myself It w*as most amusing t notice ttie w ay those elephants nugded each other and shook their ponderous sides. They thoroughly entered into the humor of the tiling.— (nknown "Sam I Iff df She Paid Him. •‘Wo have many queer experience* in the practice i r. id before him. “Only the other day I drove over to Ossian, seven miles away, to visit a patient, an old gentleman suffering from an incurable disease, that I had been treating for some months. Tying m\ horse, I walked to the house and entered the sitting room without knocking. Judge of my surprise to see lying on a stretch er the dead body of my patient clad for hu.ial, inti his coffin upon the bier awaiting its occupant. 1 had just time to note these things when the wife came in, and simply saying, ‘Oood morning,’ she slipped to a cup board, and taking out an envelope containing money emptied u upon the coffin lid, and counting out my fee, handed it to me, re placed the envelope in the cupboard and left the room without saying a word. 1 bad often been paid in the presence of mv recovered patients, but never before with the stiff, stark ew fence of the ineffectiveness of my favorite ‘patliy’ staring me in the face. I fled.”— Uaiper's Hazai. Kissing the Yiitfm In the old town proper of Baden-Baden there are some very ancient monuments and relics. The Schloss is still called the New Castle, although it was built hack yonder in the year 1471b The most curious things about this wonderful chateau are the vast and gloomy subterranean apartments which un derlie it, and about which mysterious and bloody legends are related. Ttiey of course include a chamber of torture, in the floor of which a trap door opens on the Virgin Kiss. The poor devil who had been condemned to death was brought here to be told that he wa-» tree. Then he was led close to a statue of the Virgin Mary that stood in the room, and asked to return thanks to her for his re lease and to kiss her on the lips. Iiis* doing so touched a spring that opened the trap un der lus feet and the unfortune man dropped d >wn forty feet to fall into the outstretched arms of a female statue, which was as thick ly covered with sharp spikes and razor like blades as there are quills on the fretful por cupine. Moslem Hatred of Christians. I am speaking from my own personal ex perience, recalling my intimate iut.-rcourse wiili Indian Monammedatis ot rank and posi tion, in many lands of the Islam world, and especially calling to my. mind the troops of half-naked, savage-looking ami raving der vishes, all of them Indians by birth, who are wildly rushing through the eoumries of Islm. and appear to their fellow-believers of a foreign tongue like some dread beings en gendered by intense religious mania I have observed the same feature in princess and ex-princesa, dressed atier the European fash ion and speaking English fluently, who are living on the rich fees obtained for their crowns, in pomp and high state on the Thames, and are overwhelmed with marks of distinction by the queen and the aii-tocracy of the land, but who, although they make at times concessions to European usages, are, nevertheless, inspired by the wildest and most intense hatred of everything that is Christian.—Prof. Vauibyre. A Hemiine Indian Sergeant-at-arms of the House Leedotn, who was with the Holman Indian Committee, believes Ked Cloud to be a loafer and dead beat. Sa\s the Washington Sur: “'He is the only one ol aii the chiefs the commut e has visited that steadily refuses to allow his children to attend school. Red Cloud tills his people that as long as the lireat Father knows that they are unable to support them selves, thev will be provided with rations,but T they become self-supporting they will re ceive no more help. When it was suggested to him that Ins men should learn to farm, he said -Our farmer,’—iheir instructor in agri culture—is not of the right kind. He cornea here and wants os warriors to work. Wbat I we want is for the Great Father to send as white men to plant our corn, boe it, reap it, and put it in barns which they should build us. We are warriors and don’t work.

Amusement*. The Horses. Lewis Bristol’s educated horses, ponies and mules are at the Gardiner Coliseum, where they will remain one week, giving a i performance each evening, and a matinee j Wednesday. Friday and Saturday afternoons. Last evening was the opening night, and the i theatre wag thronged to welcome the world famed Equescurriculum The performance was indeed wonderful, and merits all that has been said of it. The mule Lenner, when the curtain rises, is discovered ringing a bell for the rest of the horses to come to school. They enter one by one, carrying books, slates, etc. During the school Denner acts as monitor, reporting several of the horses for punishment. The horses went through the routine of school work in a manner to bring forth well merited applause. During the school the different horses perform acts, such as receiving punishment, erasing figures on a black board, bringing money from a closed drawer, distinguishing colors, etc. At recess a general good tioiw* is had. Mattie catches a ball in a manner that would aston ish a professional, and at their games the horses prov# themselves fully as good as at their studies. In the second part of the en tertainment the feats performed are even more wonderful, and can only be fully ap preciated by a visit to the theatre. The ap plause that greeted the horses showed that they have aire dy become favorites with the people, and indeed, how could it be elsewise, for they are all, and even more than has been claimed for them. Special trains will be run every evening from Augusta, returning im mediately after the close of the performance. Colby A ole*. The Seniors held their class election Sat urday morning.

A Sunday paper, in the interest of the beer trade, reflects upon the policy of our city in seizing beer marked for the Togus Home for soldiers. The facts are that beer has been brought to Portland thus marked and sold here. And in the same car with the beer marked Togus Home, were some eight bar rels and as many half barrels not marked for the Soldiers’ Home, hut intended tor Portland probably. The officers would have been di relect in their duty not to have seized the whole. It is not for the officers to discrimi nate, but for the courts to decide. The officials here will not allow themselves to be hoodwinked with the beer sellers, bringing beer into Portland marked 1’ogus Home tor Soldier or intoxicating liquors of any kind marked kmkluml City Liquor Agency. If this beer i a i b i:i he car going through to Augusta, Hi P nil.o.d officers would have allowed tne Augu-tn .mi uorilies to have been the censors. Hut it u comes under the cen sorship of the Portland officers, the courts will in i v ry case he tin* judges whether it is contraband or legal.—Argus. fiiLl.ou OHiourn Houston, Joseph Stringer and (ico.

S. Latiin has closed the barber shop on the corner of Water and Winthrop streets, ami gone to work for I) K. Jewell. W. Kowe will move in where Laflin moved out. A boy was before the municipal court last night for making an alleged disturbance at the barracks of the Salvation Army, Sunday night. It seems that he went to pass into the building at the meeting, when the fee-taker at the door, who was Charles Smith, nudged him, at the same time say ing “silver collec tion." The boy paying no heed to this con tinued on, when Mr. Smith again said, “sil ver collection." No notice was taken and the young man going forward was standing quietly, when Jacob Bickford, one of the Salvation officers, siezed him and took him back to the door-keeper, with whom the young man had some words. Finally the boy was forcibly ejected into the entry by Bickford and Smith, when a relative of the youngster came up and pay ing the entrance fee, both passed in. The boy was lined SJ and cost; appealed. He now proposes to bring a suit against Smith and Bickford for assault and battery, and it is also proposed to prosecute the Army tor taking entrance fees on Sun day. A. W. Goddard, Ksq., defended the respondent and gave Bickford a dressing down. Charlotte Thompson. This charming actress appeared in Granite Halt last evening in a very vivid and realistic representation of “Phyllis Denohr,” support ed by one of the best companies in New Eng land. Miss Thompson is well known as an actress of rare talent. From the rise of the curtain at the commencement of the peform ance until its drop at the close, she held the audience in rapt attention, and aroused their sympathies in an unusual degree. Her ap pearance this evening as “Jane Evre" is looked forward to eagerly by a large number of theatre goers, and there will probably be a large advance sale of seat*. The annual fair of the Kennebec Agricul tural Society commences at Keadtield Corner to-dav. continuing three days. This is al ways one of the most successful and enter taining fairs in this section, and there is usually a large attendance of Augusta people. Small Hoars Cure. During the past fifty years the proprietors of Brandreth s Pills have received thousands of voluntary testimonials of the wonderful cures effected by these Pills. They not only cure rheumatism, dyspepsia, piles, diarrhaa, liver complaint and all levers, but greatly prolong the human life. One or two at night on an empty stomach, for a week or two is sufficient. sept29deod&wlw WIJTTHROP. Rourkablc Drcanlag af a Pud-Tain Klaarod. The following true story is too good to be loat. One night last week Winthrop’a moat famous hunter dreamed that he went hunting and shot twenty-seven English snipe. The nert day he went on a hunt and killed just twenty-seven snipe. He is the owner of a first class double barrelled breech loading shot gun that he prizes very highly. That night he dreamed that coming home from his hunting tour he accidentally broke one of ths “hammers” to one of the locks off. This dream so impressed itself upon his mind that in the morning, to satisfy himself that his favorite gun was all right he removed the case and stood the gun in the corner behind the door. When turning around his coat caught the gun some way, and it fell to the floor breaking the “hammer” short ofl, just as be had seen it in the dream The above is absolutely true, and will some one explain it. Surely the time for revela tion has not passed —Many ot our citizens visited the fair at Lewiston and pronounce it first class.—A. N. Berry, Esq., of Boston, has been stopping with Dr. C. A. Cochrane for a few days.—The Xelke boy of Xorth Wayne who it will be remembered was so seriously wounded, is on the sure road to complete recovery. It was a most wonderful escape from instant death, and a remarkable recovery.—The Salvation armies, regular and independent, continue to hold me fort Captain McCartney still maintains a good lead over the regulars, and bids fair to dis tance his competitors a false and scurrilous story started by some of the regulars about him, has gained for him much sympathy. He is apparently accomplishing much good. haying Very Kittle About Morton. A Washington special to the Boston Her ald reads There are Maine democrats at all the hotels. They will make strenuous eflorts thia week to get some more appointments for Maine. But thia is not a good time for the attempt. The President is very tired of office seeking delegations. The last two which called were sent empty away. The Presi dent is not disposed to make any more im portant appointments till after the fall elec tions. It is said at the White House that no application has been made for the appoint ment of Col. Morton of Augusta, to any office. The Maine men are saying very little about him. They are talking about the Port land collectorship. Cleaves is regarded as ahead in the race for it. Installation of Kev. K. A. Wilson. Kev. K. A. Wilson, a graduate of Bowdoin College, class of '73, and of Bangor Theo logical Seminary, class of ’82, was installed pastor of the Congregational church at Biller ica, Mass Wednesday, Sept. 23d.

Smith Baker of Lowell. Rev. Mr. Wilson has been acting pastor of this church for three years. A special and beautiful feature of the occasion was that the congregation came up after the sermon and gave the pastor the hand of fel lowship for themselves.

The Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad is doing a large business at the present time, which appears to increase every day. Hence the boom in the stock.

Dr. Jones mechanically took the paper which the man handed to him, It was an official hand-bill, issued by the police, con taining the description of a certain An struther Meadows, a quondam city specu lator of considerable quantity of plunder, after ruthlessly robbing many of his cus tomers and friends. Dr. Jones had heard of the man, and, indeed, his name had recently been on everybody’s lips. The hand-bill was headed w ith an offer of a reward for £500 for his apprehension, and a full and de tailed description was given ol his per sonal appearance. Dr. Jones glanced through this abstract edly, and then his eye lighted upon a rough wood cut, purporting to be a like ness" of the defaulter, which appeared in the margin. Alter a moment's scrutiny, the young man sprang from his seat with an invol untary exclamation. ‘•Do you know him?” inquired the bailiff, quickly. “Know him! Xo! How the deuce should 1?” said Dr. Jones, controling himself. “I was ’oping, for your sake, that you could lay your linger on him, for there's a very nice little reward offered,” returned the man. ••Five hundred!” said Dr. Jones, rather contemptuously, as he glanced at the docu ment. “Aye, a tidy sum, ain't it, sir?” said the man. "But Lord bless yer, it’s all flummery—all a blind, He’s hoff long ago. a-livin’ in Aruerieay, as I said, just now.” “Well, whatever he is, he has got a tor turn: with him,” said Dr. Jones, handing hack the document with an animated ex pression. “Make yourself at home, my man,” he added “order what you w-arit. As you say, 1 daresay this little matter of mine will soon be arranged.” He hurried away as he spoke, and en tered his consulting-room, where, after locking the door, he commenced to stride] about in a strangely excited manner. After a while, happening to catch sight of his (lushed lace, as he passed the looking glass, he paused, and gravely addressed himself: "Come, Clarence Jones, steady your self. This looks like a stroke of good luck. It may even be the foundation of your fortune. Hut you musn’t be so very sure. You may be mistaken. In any case, you need a cool head to play your cards properly. This soliloquy had a soothing effect, for he seated himself in the patients’ arm chair, and deliberately knitted his brows to think. The result of his deliberations was that he started off with composure to his club, and spent several hours in going through the newspaper tiles of the past mnnth or two. lie met a city acquaintance, ot whom lie made particular inquiries concerning Mr. Anstruther Meadows. Altogether, he evidently considered that he had passed a profitable evening, lor, upon his return, lie saluted the man with a friendly slap on the back, and promised him a five pound note for himself if his hopes as to paying him out the next day were real ized. When he arose the next morning, Dr. Jones wrote a little note to Dr. Hal my re, stating that In* had a great desire to pay a visit to his asylum and adding, that, hav ing been summoned to attend a consulta tion in the neighborhood of the institu tion, he should he glad of an authority to inspect it. lie sent the letter round by a servant, who, in reply, brought back one of Dr. Hal my re’s cards, with a few words in (he great man's handwriting scrawled on the back of it. An hour later. Dr. Jones presented himself at the door of Dr. Hal myre's establishment. lie was very civilly received by the medical gentlemen in charge, by whom he' was conducted over the spacious, gloomy building. It course he expressed himsell highly gratified and deeply inter ested in all he saw, though, in truth, his mind was entirely preoccupied with other matters. At length, as they were strolling through the grounds, lie said, carelessly “Hy-the-way i signed a certificate yes terday for Dr. Halmyre. Has the patient arrived hat name Do you recollect? “Roberts, I think." "Oh, yes,” was the reply. “He came in yesterday evening. Would you like to see him "Well—yes. 1 think 1 should.” said Hr. Jones, carelessly. “His ease rather interested me. Don't trouble to come if you are busy. He is quiet enough.” “Yes. he is quiet enough, so perhaps you’ll excurse my running away from you. I must go my rounds. Hi, Ed wards he called to an attendant, “take this gentleman. Dr. Jones, to see William Roberts, No. ltd.” A minute later Dr. Jones was ushered into a small, private sitting room, where he, found Mr. William Roberts, whose ae quantanee lie had made the previous day. Sir. Roberts gave a palpable start as his visitor entered, but immediately assumed a vacant expression, and dropped his eyes on the book he was reading. “You needn't wait,” said Dr. Jones to the attendant, in a confident tone. “I want to have a little chat with my friend, here.” 1 he man, somewhat hesitatingly with drew, while fit r. Roberts, manifestly ill at ease, stole a hurried glance at the doctor out of the corners of his eyes "Well. Mr Roberts. You remember roe, 1 suppose?” said I»r. Jones, pleas antly. when they were alone. Mr. Roberts grunted, without looking from his book. "1 see you do," replied his visitor, with increasing aflability. “Rut, really—as no one is in hearing—there is not the least occasion for playing comedy. Yesterday I did not interfere, because it was, t course,desirable to deceive m\ colleague.” “1 don't know you,” said Mr. Roberts, glancing up at him. and then turning sulkily aside. “That is quite immaterial. The impor tant tact is, that I know you. Mr. An struther Meadows,” said l)r. Jones, in a very low voice. The moment his name yvas pronounced, the man turned as white as marble, while beads ol perspiration burst upon liis fore bead. He cast a terrified glance at his visitor's calm, determined face, and ap parently realized the uselessness of deny ing his identity. "Are you a detective?” he gasned. "My good sir, if you will reflect, you will remember that I am a doctor,” re marked Dr. Jones, quite soothingly. “Oh, yes; to be sure,” said Xleadows, recovering himself. “Well, how did you find me out t “I recognized you yesterday, the mo. ment 1 set my eyes on you, notwithstand ing that you have shaved off your mus tache and whiskers, and have dyed your hair," said Dr. Jones, unblusbingly. “You see I am not hostile to you.” “Thank God for thatmurmured the man. “I suppose your design is to remain here until the hue and cry has died out, and then to quietly slip away when the police have entirely given you up,” said the doctor, very smilingly. “That was what Ainslie did," returned Meadows, mentioning another notorious rascal. “Well, it is an excellent plan, no doubt. The police would never think ot looking for you here,” laughed Dr. Jones. ,‘Hewever, to come to the point—of course I have no wish to denounce you." “That is your game, is it?" cried Mead ows. with a tierce oath. “Well, you see your secret is worth something,” said the unwelcome visitor, in business-like tones. “I could get the reward of £.100 by raising my Unger. But I prefer—for my own sake, as well as yours—to make terms with you.” “I thought you were a gentlemen,” sneered Meadows. “People used to think you were,” said the doctor, quite unmoved. “But, alter all, the title is an empty one.” “Hang you, then, name your price!” said Meadows, after a short pause. Dr. Balmyre has put yon up to this; you are both in the swim ‘•Dr. Balmyre has oetrayed no confi dence,” said Dr. Jones, pricking up his ears. “No one has any suspicion ot my discovery.” “Well, I suppose I can rely on you?” “Implicitly. Ii you give me my price, I shall he in your power.” “Well, yon are a cool hand, anyhow,” said Meadows, with a laugh. “But what you say is true enough. Come, what is your price to be Dr. Jones named his figure—an uncom monly stiff one, judging by the rage and indignation of Mr. Meadows. An angry argument then ensued, which, however, ended, through the doctor’s firmness, in his terms being agreed to. Meadows ac cordingly gave him a letter to an individu al in the city, through whose agency, in a round-about way. the requisite sum was to be paid. “It is very hard lines that I should have had to pay through the nose twice for coming to this place,” grumbled Mead ows, at the conclusion of the interview. “However, as you declare Dr. Balmyre did not put you up to it, I suppose it was an unlucky accident—for me.” “Dr. Balmyre has never breathed a word to me, or to anyone else,” said Dr. Jones, solemnly. “Remember he has his reputation to consider. My strong advice to you. is, not to frighten him by reveal ing what has passed between us to-day. This for your own sake.” “And a little for yours, i dare say,” said Meadows, who apparently could not help admiring his visitor’s coolness. “However, perhaps you are right. Mum is the word for all of us.” Dr. Jones did not pause to exult over the success ol his manoeuvre, lie went straight to the city in feverish haste, and never rested until the ransom paid by Meadows was safely lodged at his bank. Then, having got rid of the friendly biilitf, and sent round cheeks to his most pressing creditors, he indulged in delight ful self-congratulations, and revelled in the agreeable prospect of continuing his professional career with his debts paid, and a substantial sum standing to his cred it in the bank. "It only shows.” he murmured com placently to himself, “that some people arc destined to make fortunes and others ain't. Look at that fool Graves. He sus pected the man was shamming, when I didn't, and yet he never troubled his head to get at the bottom of the mystery. Graves will probably die a workhouse surgeon, while 1 shall be a baronet rolling in wealth For, by Jove, there is more to lie made out ot the business! I'm not going to let Halmvre ntf—the sly old fox I could ru in him if I like, but I won’t. I Hatter my self that I know a trick worth two of that, Ify Jove!” lie added, energetically slap ping his knee, "he has an only daughter, and he is as rich as (’nestis. l’il keep his secret, but i’ll be his son-in-law, or my name is not Clarence Jones!” Subject for Discussion. In subordinate Granges for October as suggested by the lecturer of the National Grange: Question (>7. I)o we as an organization, employ co-operation to the best advant age Suggestions—-Organization implies co operation, tor it requires united effort to form organized bodies for any purpose. The order of Patrons of Husbandry was instituted for the purpose ot uniting the fanners into a traternal association, with a view of bringing them regularly togeth er in their Grange meetings, and there to cultivate our social natures to a more friendly feeling and closer associations among ourselves, and to improve our in tellectual facilities to greater usefulness to ourselves, and to the world. And in proportion as these two features are ad vanced in any Grange community will rest the financial advantages to its mem bers. The social advancement in a Grange will aid much in its educational work.and the educational advancement leads to financial advantages. Hut to accomplish either ot these, co-operation must be em ployed—it is indispensible in making Grange meetings a success—a lack of prosperity in these, prevents social cul ture. and hinders educational advance ment. and the failure ol these prevents financial benefits. If these are made suc cessful in every Grange, then co-operative business enterprises will become so firmly established that it will place them beyond all doubt ot failure, for successful results will lie assured. I he success of Grange meetings, the advancement in the social and education al work, as well as the success and pros perity of all business enterprises depends upon ourselves. Our acts, efforts, means and influence must be united in a co-ope rative wav and success is assured. This subject loses none of its interest: it is an all-important question upon which rests everything connected with the order, its very life depends upon the co-operative efforts of its members. In considering the subject the following questions present themselves: 1. Do we, as a Grange, unite in our work, and co-operate in making our Grange meetings what they should be? 2. Do we eo-oi>erate as a Grange in considering and discussing questions per aining to our interests and our welfare? 3. Do we unite our efforts, means and influence to the financial advantage of our members? If we desire to build up our Grange and make it a useful instrument in the com munity for trood, for the advancement and elevation of ourselves, our families and our neighbors, then we must take deeper interest in Grange meetings to make them interesting and profitable. If we desire to profit by the educational work in the Grange, in improving us in-1 Baldness. If you are troubled with a diseased scalp, if your hair is falling out, if it is weak and thin, or if you have become bald, your hair may be restored to its original healthful condition and color by the use of Hall's Hair Benewer. This efficient remedy combines the most desirable qual ities of the best preparations for the hair, without the use of any objection able ingredient. Mrs. Hunsberry, 344 Franklin ave., Brooklyn, X. Y., after a severe attack of erysipelas in the head, lost her hair so rapidly that she soon became quite bald. One bottle of Hall's Hair Be newer produced a new growrth, as soft, brown, and thick, as in youth. Gray Hairs are honorable, when they are associated with advanced age, but to be prematurely gray is unpleasant, to say the least. If you cannot renew your youth, you may, at least, attain the appearance of it, by the use of Hall's Hair Renewer. Randolph W. Farley, Nashua, N. H., quite a young man, whose hair had become gray, like that of a very aged person, applied Hall's Hair Renewer, and now his locks are a beautiful brown, as In youth. He says: The effects, in my case, from the use of Hall's Hair Renewer are truly marvelous.’’ Mrs. E. Elliott, GlenviUe, W. Va.. says: “One bottle of Hall's ITair Renewer re stored my hair to its youthful color.” IJ A I I JQ VECETABLE nnLL O SICILIAN Hair Renewer Is not a dye, nor does it contain any coloring matter whatever. It restores the hair to its original color by exciting the scalp to a natural, healthful action, and is, also, an efficient remedy in eases of scalp disease. Walter Burnham, M. I)., Lowell, Mass., writes: Having, by accident, seen Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer used for restoring the hair, where inveterate eruptions had resisted various kinds of treatment, I found that not only was the hair restored to its natural beauty, but also the disease of the scalp was completely cured. I have since recommended the Renewer, fre quently, In similar cases, and always with the same success.” The beauty and vigor of the hair is easily maintained by the use of Hall’s Hair Ite uewer. Mrs. Susan II. Scott, Stoddard, X. II., writes: “The Renewer will cer tainly restore gray hair to its original color. I have used it ten years, and it has given perfect satisfaction. It keeps my hair In splendid condition.” Mrs. E. M. Rittenhouse, Humboldt. Kansas, writes: I have used Hall’s Hair Renewer for years, tt keeps the scalp clean and healthy, the hair dark and glossy, and pro duces a new and vigorous growth.” J. R. Duncan, Laredo, Texas, writes: For a number of years my hair had been growing thinner, until at last I became quite bald. The use of two bottles of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer has restored to my head a fine, healthy growth of hair.” II. Erriekson, 4 Chest nut st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: When I commenced the use of nail's Hair Renewer, the top of my head was perfectly bare. I am now using my fourth bottle, and my head is covered with a nice growth of new hair.” Hall s Hair Renewer, PREPARED BY R. P. HALL CO., Nashua, N. H., U. S. A. For Sale by all Druggists.
