ROMANCE OF A BOTTLE. BT ELWOOD BTJBKE.

It was a beautiful day in nudaum-ier,

sad the half-a-hundred-odd cabin passengers ou the good steamship Nantic

wen listlessly lounging about the deck. They were already nine days out from j Liverpool, and owin to an unfortunate accident, wbieli bad occurred early on the voyage, only half the distance to their port of destination had been, accomplish m1. The accident had been attended with no danger to the precious human freight, but the nsonotony of the Toy age was becoming; unbearable, and the passengers were beginning to grumble. Every artifico had been resorted to to relieve the tedium of the slowly moving days, and now they were literally at their wits' end. Charades, mock trials, sfcettlew, and amateur theatricals, had in turn been resorted to, but now, with their faces turned longingly toward borne, they lounged about the deck, and bemoaned their aad fate.

A particularly discontented group

leaned against the port-rail, amldsnip,

composed of two young ladies, showily dressed, two young men who looked ratter jaunty ia their semi-sailordress, a stout, red-faced, course-looking man,

and an equally stoat, red-faced, and

coarse-looking woman. The two 1 attar were called "papa1

and "mamma by the simpering young ladies, and deferentially addressed as

Mr. and Mrs. Gale by the young men

in semi-sailor dress.

They wen venting their indignation

against the ste.unship, and the combination of untoward circumstances that

bad delayed their voyage.

Standing; a little apart from the group was a slim, pale-faced girl, in a dress of Quiet-oTay, unrelieved save at

the throat, where a bit of cherry-col

ored ribbon watt gathered into bow.

Thai waa Elsie Annabel, and she was

td sad companion to the

Gale, who were named respectively

Agnes and Eunice.

She took no part in the conversation, bat there was a sad and-wistful look hi

the gray eyes, she turned her face

toward the western horizon.

"Ifs outrageous!" cried Papa Gate.

"Shameful I" echoed his wife. It's killing me!" sighed Eunice.

"I am really faint with ennui"

chirruped Miss Agnes.

"Ifs deneedlr unfortunate !" chorused

the young men. . "H something would only happen!1

"I toll yon what?" cried the elder of the young men, addressing Miss Eunice,

in particular.

"Well?" interrogated that young

lady, with a Hst Jess attempt at interest.

"Let's write tetters to our fnei

enclose them in bottles, and throw

them overboard. They're no doubt

considerably worried over oar long bbsence, and as it's impossible to tap

the cable and telegraph them a z

sage, well make old ocean's waves our

letter earner.

"Pshaw, Bob !" retorted Miss Eunice, shrugging her shoulders. "Bow sentimental yon lire! As though a letter put

into a bottlf i ard thrown into the would ever reach anywhere V

"I've read somewhere," said BobCar-

ringtoB, "that ship-wrecked sailors often send messages to their friends that way. We're about as bad as ship

wrecked, why can't we?"

"Let's ask the Captain !" said Eunice;

and she walked toward that officer,

who was moodily pacing up and down

the bridge. The others followed.

"Yes, Mi as,' answered the Captain,

when Eunice had asked him about flie possibility of the bottles being washed ashore. "I've no doubt they'll ranch land somewhere. The Steward

will furnish yon with bottles, if yon

desire to make the experiment."

There was something novel in the

idea, and ever;' empty bottle on shipboard was soon brought on deck. Everybody, young and old, began to write letters everybody except Elsie Annabel. Xo waiting Jcmdrcd- anxiously expected her return, and the only real, friend she'had ever bad, handsome Guy Chalmers, wat lost to her. " " Two years lfore, she bad engaged herself "to tie young artist, bot,they had quarrelled, and separated, in anger;.

as lovers .waL "

She was too proud to ask bis forgiveness, and he; was too stubborn' to ask bars. ; Gradually they had drifted apart, and finally loi-t all sight of each other. IJhoe sighed as these thoughts of the east surged through her mind, and she sfriwft a hjftiir, in--""ff

Papa Gale was a rich pork merchant,

and, in Bis rough way, was kind to

her.

Be paid ber liberally for the service

she rendered in polishing up the somewhat neglected educations of his two daughters, bnt they were selfish and capricious, and ber let was not, by

any means, a happy one. The steamship's deck now rang with joyous laughter and merry jest, as the passengers prepared the messages that they confidently hoped would be wafted shoreward. All sorts of letters were written, read over laughingly, placed in their frail receptacles, and cast into the sea. Even tbe Bailors been me interested in the experiment, and sent out messages to waiting friends, or anxious sweethearts, in dear America. "Have you written your message yet, Miss Annabel?" asked Agnes Gale,

halting for a moment beside her maid, as she leaned over the rail and watched the tightly-corked bottles, as they bobbed up and down. "My message?" eried Elsie, with a guilty start, for she had just been thinking of Guy Chalmers. "Ah eh really I have no one to write toF "So one?" persisted Agnes. "Nor was the low answer, and Elsie's eyes dropped. "That's too bad!" said Agnes, com-

miseratingly. "Everybody is sending

onts message. If I were you rdjust write something and send it off at random. Yon could sign your name and

address, and perhaps some one would find it who'd be anxious to know v.ho yon are, and would write. That would

be romantic f

"Pve no taste for romance !" answered

Elate, bnt she nevertheless procured

bottle, and, after a moment's thought,

wrote on a piece of paper.

Ix Mid-Ocean, os SriER Nasnc, Aug;

12. An accident which happened to our pro-

peUor has delayed our voyage, and ws are

nine days out from Liverpool. The uaptain

says we are just half way between mat port and New York. Everybody ia well.

"Elsie Aknabbl, "Care of John Gale, Esq., 'Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio." She placed this simple message in a

bottle, corked and sealed it, and tossed it overboard.

The bottle was particularly long-

necked, bright green in color, and her inexperienced hand had smeared the whole top with red wax.

She stood watching it a long time,

bat finally it disappeared, and with a

weary sigh she turned and went below.

The Naatic ultimately reached New

York, and Mr. John Gale hurried back

to Cincinnati, to attend to his pork.

Bob Carrington and his cousin,

Arthur Stevens, bade the Misses

Gale farewell, and secretly promised

to correspond with them.

The Gales bad been home nearly a

month, when one morning a hired hack came slowly np the long carriage road which wound through the rich pork-packer s extensive grounds,

and, when it finally reached the house, the door opened, and a young man

leaped lightly to the ground.

Be enquired of the servant who an

swered his ring for Miss Elsie Anna

bel, and the man showed him into the

back parlor.

Elsie was considerably surpiised

when told that a gentleman wished to

see ber below, but she went down, and

timidly approached the back parlor.

She halted for a moment on the

threshold, and the gentleman, who had

been idly drumming on the window,

turned.

At sight of his face she reeled, and

would have fallen had he . not sprang

forward and caught her in his arms.

"Elsie, my darling 1" be said, holding

her very tightly. "Have yon no word

of welcome for me?"

"Oh, Guy 1" she murmured, as her

eyes met his. "Have you really come

back to me? I have been so lonely without you! Forgive me for my

eruelr!"

"It ia I who have come to ask for

giveness !" said Guy, leading her to a

. "After we parted, two years ago,

and I got over my stubbornness, 1 tried

to find yon, bnt yon had disappeared, i

leaving no trace behind yon, I was inconsolable, and reproached myself for my harshness, because it was all my fault Finally, however, 1 grew nic ody and cynical, bnt I could never bring myself to think of yon with aught but love and tenderness. Six months after yon disappeared my old uncle died, and left me his heir. Since that time I have hunted for yon, far and wide. Last summer I took a run along the eosat in my yacht, stopping at every port. Two weeks ago we were lying off Cape Breton, in a dead calm. One of the sailors called my attention to a bottle that was drifting by us. I fished it up with a scoop net. It was sealed, and all gathered around to see what it contained. I broke tbe neck, and found this little note;" and ho produced from an inner pocket the identical message she had written on board

the N antic, in mid-ocean. "You can imagine my joy at the strange discovery of your hiding-place, and, a breeze springing np, I ordered the yacht put about, and we ran into Halifax. I have

come to you as fast as steam would carry me, to ask your forgiveness, and assure yon that I have never ceased to

love yon," What answer she made him win but

be imagined.'. Anyway when Papa

Gale returned to dinner he beard tbe whole story, and declared in his hearty way that he'd' give away tbe bride. Accordingly, as. soon as a suitable trousseau could be prepared, the two,

so strangely re-united, were made one.

I The Misses. Gale officiated as brides-

:maidsj and Bob Carrington and bis cousin were the groom's best men. Jspa Gale, true to his word, gave the bride away, and the great pyramid of flowers which occupied the center of the banquet table was crowned by the identical bottlo that was responsible tattehjgJV event

IMS FAULT STATED. Senator Sherman Replies to the Speech Hade by G)vernor Hoadly,

And

Restates tile Issue of the Pending Campaign, W lich the Governor Evaded in His Speech at Hamilton.

Senator Sherman delivered hia second speech of tbe presont campnigu at Lebanon, Ohio, on the evening of September 8th, before a large audience. The speech was principally in answer to Gov. Hoadly's speech at Hamilton. Mr. Sherman said that he always desired in the discussion of public questions to get directly at ths issues in which, for the time being, the public took the deepest interest, and, as Go r. Hondly had undertaken in his recent speech at Hamilton to

reply to some remarks made by him at Mt. Gilcad, he would call attention to some

parts of Gov. Hoadly's speech as the best

means possible of ascertaining the position of the Democrat e party in this canvass.

"1 wish to answer Gov. Hoadly with nil tbe respect due to his high office and his personal character and ability. "I do not think he f airly maintains his

rermtation in his recent speech at Hamilton,

but I can forgive him to some extent by

reason of bis present political associations, I think ho owed it to hiu past record, and, I believe his conscientious conviction, to answer aretunent8 rather than to evade or

nvoid the nosition of his adversaries by

cant phrases about the blood v shirt and the

use. J. will tto wnat i can to see iiiuv n

shall understand distinctly the issue we

present to him. and I hone he will meet it

"In his speech he has not fairly stated my porition. Upon the important issues growing out of the condition of affairs in the South, he has evaded and avoided, with the skill of a lawyer, in a way practically to

admit all that I claim, and tins is tue less excusable in him, for during the greater portion of the long struggle In respect to slavery, he was a Ei?pnblican, and agreed with me on the issues of the war. "He claims to be the friend of the eolored people, .but does not do them the justice to truly state the iuiustice done them accord

ing to his own well-considered opinions in tbe pat.

"In mv speech at Mt. C Head I stated that

the war was over, and tint I was willing to forgive and forget all that the rebels did in the war, and only den: anded what was fairly won by the Union soldiers as the results of the war. He agreed with me in

snnrjortinc all the cons' itutional amend

ments, and all I ask, or have ever asked, is that thev shall be fairly observed and en

forced. Six million people were emancipated and enfranchised by the war, and the amendments mode with his hearty approval,

ana as a result or tnis iney were enuueu ;o vote, and were granted representation in Congress, and in the Electi ral College. They

have been denied many (if the necessary

incidents of hbertv, among the most precious of which is the righ". to free discussion; they are no disfranchised, and thus, openly and boldly, deprro-d of all the saf eonards bv which alone their liberties can

be preserved. He does not deny this. H he did. then the nroof is so clear upon the

records that the argument between us would

soon be ended. At first tntsy were exciuaea

Irom tbe rrancaise Dy acts or violence, amounting in thousands of cases to murder,

in the States where they were largely in the majority, but where, from their feebleness and want of discipline and organiza

tion, thev were riowerless to resist. By

such means the Democratic parry obtained absolute power, and then, tiougn the violence became less, the disfrtuchisement of Ibe colored people became absolute and complete by fraud 65 gross and universal that in scarce a district in :he South waa there any pretense of a fair election. "In some cases election districts were organized so that the negro could not vote. In others they were openly cheated and defrauded by the use of tissue ballots, and every device which the inger.uity of crime could invent. These facts vere over and over again admitted, and justified on the ground that the white people of the South would not submit to what they chose to call 'negro rule.' The result is . complete and effective disfranchisement cf the colored people in every diBbict where their votes would probably change tho result Can Governor Hoadly deny this in die face of the accumulated testimony )mom to him -noTfanilv nail? TT does nit attemnt to

deny it, and yet he pretends -jo be the friend

of tbe colored man. "Bnt. not only is this unjust to the col

ored men, but it is unjust to the white men of the North: Thirty-eight members of Congress, and of the Eleotoial College, are based upon tbe six million of colered people in the South. The effect of the crimes I have mentioned is to confer upon the white people of the South not only the number of Totes to which they are entitled for the white population, but also t'ae thirty-eight votes based upon the colored population, and, in this way, in some ol! the southern States.every white voter possesses the political power of two white voteis in tbe northern States. The colored peop e have, practically, no voice in Congress, and no voice in the Electoral College. Mr. Cleveland is now President of the United States, instead of James G. Blaine, by reason of these crimes. "I claim that this should be corrected. An injustice so gross and palpable will not be submitted to by the colored people of the

South, nor by fair-minded w bite men in me South who hate wrong and injustice, nor by the great body of the northern people by whose sacilflces in the Union cause the war was brought to a successful termination. It will not be submitted to, and Governor Hoadly, from his former poiiltion, ought to

be one of the first to demtind and insist upon a remedy, and not ovodo or avoid or belittle it by cant phrases. "I confess there are difficulties in the way of

apfoperremedy. This may be brought about first by an appeal to the South to correct an injustice and wrong which 'nil, as long as it lasts, tend to make oar pditics sectional, and inspire the samerenistat.ee to the Democratic party encountered a; the beginning of the war. In eveiy State in the South there are thousands of patriotic men who feel as I do about it, and th jy would make their voice heard but for an intolerant sentiment which will not even (.How discussion

of the subject, or the formation of parties in the Sonth based upon this issue. Still, this appeal has been made, is now being made, and will continue to be made, in several of the States, and especially in Virginia and North Carolina. In South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and, perhaps, in other States, a fair election would at once correct this ovil, but it will be resisted, as a matter of oourso, by the dominant elements that now control the South. In Virginia and North Carolina a distinct presentation of these questions, followed by a fair election, would, as is shown by the returns in the recent eleotion, place theso two powerful States upon tae side of justice and right. We will, its a matter of course, be resisted by most of the lawless elements of the Sonth, and by the Democratic parly of the North, which is now, as it always has been, absolutely opposed to the rights of any portion of our people where these stand in the wi.y of their suo"If theuoliovof the past is to bo pur

Thft Rneaker waa (hen a classman, a more

exalted position, he asserted, than he had tvor reached since, although he bad been

reasonably successful iu life. One day

tinmber of the classmen were perming a

regarded as a somewhat singular name, and

Tie speaker knew very HUe of Grant while at West Point because one- was a classman and the other was a plebe, and classmen would hardly deign to notice plebes. Grant's rep. u'ation while seriiug in tbe Fourth Infantry in the Mexicin war was that of a willing officer, ever ready to do the fighting, extremely social and frivndly wilh his fellows; but in no sense did he display those qualities that were developed during the civil war. It was the old commander who had restored order when chaos had been let loose and the gates of hell were wide

open all around. He raised tbe aarx curtain tiat enshrouded tha Federal commanders when hs won the victory at Belmont, so that it was only necessary to follow the course mapped out. He did not care how a bottlo was fo lght so long as it was won. Gen. She! man then dwelt on the iu justice done Grant by Gen.

Shall one white man in Mississippi wield twice or three times, tbe influence in national affairs wielded by me white man in Ohio? Vi'lien men tell me that it is impolitic to call attention to such

monstrous uulairness, and that to oppose snch rank injustice is to risk party defeat, I answer by saying if the Republican party has no longer the

courage to defend the right and insist upon iuitice and equality of sections of

tbe Union, it ought to be defeated. I

had rather be permanently ret red from public life than seem by silence to consent to the suppre sion of tho colored vote in the South aad the injusiice resulting therefr. m to all parts of the country. The northern people

are not fully awsUe to tlie importance

of this issue. 1 deem it a pal riottc duty to arouse the pub io conscipn -a on a

Uapid Bridge-Building. Probably the most rapid bridge-

building on record is that described in

'Ihe Sctenitno American as done at

Aarau, Switzerland. The firm, havino constructed a canal in connection with their works, were obliged, by tho town

After standing about two months the bridge was brought into use, and has been in constant service for heavy traffic ever sineo, without cracking or settling. The span of the arch is thirty-nine feet, four inches, rise six feet, nix and three-fourth inches, and width of roadway thirteen feet, one

and one-half inches, the total weight of the structure between the abutments being 211 tons. The second bridge

given at about SffiOO.

the results they desired, not canng how he accomplished them, and his record would stand the test of time. He believed in following up the "rebel armies in a war of aggression, not maneuver. From Belmont to Chattanooga his tactics were the same, and it was his stubborn courage that led him on to victory. It was a good thing for ths country durinn those perilous times that Lincoln and Grant were on duty the one to think and the other to execute. Grant, in the speaker's opinion, was a greater soldier than either Alexan-ler, Csesar, Napoleon or Wellington. These were all great soldiers iu their times, but Grant belonged to the nineteenth century. In closing, Gen. Sherman said it was fitting that the dead hero should find his last rest ng place in New York, and hoped that any monuments to he erected would, like himself, be stro g and tiniple.

i resh at the start, and increased toward tno sinish to half a gale, resul ing in a lumpy nea. A New York dispatch s-iys of the great raoe: The cup won by the America more than it generation ago was never in such peril as to-day. Its possession has been often oballenged and warmly contested, butneier iDefore has Great Britain sent a champion io hard to vanquish. Had it not been for

:he building Of the Yankee yacht and the jailing of the Yankee skipper we might aaie b.-en compelled to yield the trophy which we have so often defended, and dwavs with much greater ease than to-day, when for tho first time American vachls have had to bend their sads in competition w.th an antagonist to be feared in any weather. There never was snch a race in American waters. There probably never was sailed before, in the history of ya ching, a fac iu which the laurels hung tautalizinglv before two famous rivals unlit the very "end of a long fifty-mile course. No boat but the Puritan could have t-aved tl.e day: none but the Genesta could have made vietoiy so dubious. It was a grand raoo from tho moment that the fleet-winged racers crossed the imaginary line unt:l the wh' sties blow and the guns belched forth their welcoming to tho returning conqueror. The yachts looked grand as they dashed across the line. Both we: e taken in tow by the tugs Scandinavian and Luekenbaeh and caBt oft at their Staten Island anchorage. At 6 o'clock the race was over, and the America's cup was still retained on this side of ihe Atlantic. In speaking of the race ex-Commodore Smith, who has seen every important race for the last thirty

years, said: "It was tne grandest race ever seen in the world, and if the Pnritan had been properly handled she would have

beaten tne cutter more yet.

Another correspondent says: It was a

handsome triumph. It is all the more

cause for exultation that the races were so fairly sailed that no cause for complaint can hn made bv the defeated Euelisbmen. Sir

ttif-hnrd Sutton and his erew took their de

feat in a becoming manner. Indeed, the

conduct of the managers of the Genesta

rtnrioor the time thev have been here has

shown that they are gentlemen in the best nensa of the word. The victory of the

Pnritan shows that th-i English have yet

something to learn from tbe Yankees in the lin of naval architecture. They are obsti

nate, howt ver, and our yachtsmen need not

be surprised u tn unions ao not give up th eiToit to eet the cup. They have an

other crack yacht, the Galatea, wh'ch may ba in our waters before long and make ,.tl,.. fil frtr tllft ttvmhv.

Panama dispatch! . The latest advices from Lima give details of the battle at Canta on-the 1 th ult On the morning of -that day detachment of X5overnmeut troops occupying the town of Cantn, sixty miles from Lima, in the valley running parallel to that of the Bimac. was surprised by a division of Gen. Cacercs' army i and after a sharp action of several hours was forced to fly fn disorder. The Government troopyoperatinrngiinst Canta were 5151' men of the line, wi h one Catling gun. 50 rav.iliymen, and 50 mounted gonadarmas, the whole force being commanded by Col. Torres. Canta had oeen occupied for several dnrs. the -mnntoneros or irrcsu ar revo.u-

tio'nary forces re iring on the npproach of this detachment. On Friday evening news arrived nt tha approach of a cons derab e

division of the enemy, and upon Cs. Bus- I

tamente s advance it was deemed to aeiena

the town.

On Saturdav at 7 a. m. the hills inclos

ing Canta were occupied by the enemy, apparently l,r00 or 2,0(10 strong, and with

doom alio cavalry, xno iaum uic optioned at the outlets of - the valley leading

toward the coast and to the Interior, so

from the first the Government forces were effectually corraled. CoL Torres had p'aced his .men in the barracks, situated ia the principal squr,re of the town, having also

small outlying squaas oeninu nuuie ui mo walls in the subu.bs. Caceres' artillery, four small neldpieces, opened fire from the hill at Huayhullani at half-past 7, and in a few moments the f ring became general.

positions oi we comoatanw tumuu , the fire being all the time very heavy. At midday the defenders of the place slackened tieir fire, for their ammunition was rapidly becoming exhausted, and for an hour they received without refly the volleys of the attacking pony. At 2 o'clock a desperate effort was made to drive tho rebels from the town, which tW hud than entered, at the point of the

bayonet This failed, and then the defeat was accomplished. The fight wits hand to hand in the streets, no quarter being given, and the most dreadful scenes of carnage occurred. Houses where some of the defeated sildiers hod taken refuge were broken open and all found with n murdered without distinction of age, sex, or character, and then were burned. A few of th? most determined of the Government cavalrymen, headed by Colonel Pachas, cut their way through their opponent and made good their escape. Col. Bustamente, to whose counsel the defeat was due, seeing that a. was lost, blew his bndus out on the field of action. Col. Torres escaped early in the fight, and the Government has named another officer to command the decimated "Cagamarica." .

Of the five hundred or six nunarea men engaged on the Government side, probably two huudred escaped by flying to the mountains or following Pachas. They are still coming in in parties ofritwo or three. Very few prisoners were taken, for, as has W afafa-l nn OWll-to WSS ffiVeil.

The Cacei ists were commanded by CoL Morales B nnudas, nnd it is stated that Caceres with his staff arrived at Canta the day after the battle. The losses of the revolutionary forces are not known. From tbe fact tuat the Cagnmarica battalion was decidedly tho finest in tha Government service the jartisans of Caceres here are jubilant over his success. Tbe 6,000 soldiers in garrison at Lima are aot as all affected by the reverse, and their officers are confident of their loyalty in case of an attack on flu city. Energetio precautionary measures are being taken. The church

towers ore oscupied to-nigm oy strong uetachme ts of riflemen, and the Prefect has

issued a notice ofienng a rewara oi irom

50 to l.OOD soles to any one who may de

nounce the (Xistence of conspiracies or aiu the police in their efforts. The Government forces hsve been withdrawn from Chosica, and are now stationed at Santn Clara, fifteen miles nearer to Lima. Nothing positive is known regarding the whereabouts of Caceres.

Pro- true story: Somewhat oer a year ago. Dr. '

Bowles was called to treat a lady in MiidlouCounty. She bad -.then been a longtime-, Bick. The doctor used every remedy which he thought would reach the case, bnt, in spite of his scientific- treatment, and tbe most careful nursing, she gradually grew weaker, until she became absolutely helpless, being unable to feed herself, or turn her body in bed. She had the greatestcon- -fidencc in her physician, but appeared void of the proper will-power, and was entirely effortless. Her friends despaired of ber recovery, and daily expected her death. Lite in" the spring, when she was reduced , tthat point where death seemed imminent. Mrs. Maris Woodworth went into the neighborhood and conducted one of her wonderful revival meetings, which arouse all the people to a state of religious fervor . to them before unknown, earning of the illness of Mrs. Diltz, she visited beT home, and, by permission of the physician, prayed for her recovery. Mrs. Diltz is a devout Christian woman, and was at that tune a fervent believer in the efficacy of prayer,, and at once placed implicit confidence in Mrs. Woodworth. At the close of the prayer she appeared of better cheer, and tha next morning surprised her friends by getting out of bed, dressing herself, and taking her place at the table a thing she had not done for several months before ate a

tnat 1 hearty breakfast. For one '80 thin, she

seemed to possess- unusuai nusu,i " from that time oh she rapidly improved, until now, in the language of the physician j -. "she is fat, rugged and rosy." Outof gratitude to Him w ho she beheves has cured her Mrs. Diltz has decided to enter the field as an evangelist. ' '" A Venerable and WeLVPrMwrvedIayThere is in Biqhmond a most remarkable -old lady, who has been familiarly known and referred to as "the venerable Grandmother Hancock" for thirty-odd years, and of later .veal's each succeeding change of season has been expected to be the last she would ever witness.

A Defaulting Ex-'

The Board of Madison Count' Commissioners Have authorized tbe County Attorney to institute suit against ex- County Treasurer George Boss, upon bis official bond, to recover the amount of his defalcation as Treasurer. At the time of surrendering his office to his successor, Mr. Boss o wed the county 71,703.06. There is no report on file in the Auditor's office showing that any part of this amount has been paid, but it has been ascertained that Mr. Call, his successor, has receipted to tea . 1 for $27,500. It has also been learned tba

Boss has assigned in trust to v. A. J. Brnnt, for the benefit of-the' county, all his property, consisting of real estate, notes, aud accounts, estimated to be worth $36,000. The present value of the latter w ill not, in nil probability, be mow than half that amount, and the -ctual deficit . wUl reach about $25,000. Heavy Damage Suit Against Brown County. A claim for $10,000 damages has been filed with the County (mmfesimers against Brown County by the administrator of Archibald Goodrich. The complaint alleges that Goodrich .was-arrested-on a charge of petit larceny, and, on preliminary examination, was found guilty- His bail ( was fixed at $200, which he failed to give t and went to jail, remaining over one mouth; when the Grand Jury failed to nnd any indictment. Goodrich sickened and died soon after his release, the complaint:aWeges, - from diseases caused from tbe dark, damp, noisome, noxious, and unhealthy condition of his cell in jail. If payment is refused, -suit will at once be brought c gainst Uie county for tbe amount in damages. t DoUcato Surgical Openatlon?
