The Democrats held a ward meeting near the Nail Works last night, which was attended by about two hundred people The escort started from their headquarters at the corner of Fifth and Cherry streets, and followed by a noisy crowd of volunteer torch carriers, marched to the crossing of Thirteenth street and the E. & T.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Lockport last evening and the meeting proved an increase in interest in that locality.

BRAZIL, Aug. 28.

Harry Montgomery returned yesterday from an extended commercial tour in Illinois.

The infant child bf Mr! and Mrs. J. B. Richardson died suddenly yesterday morning.

The city and most of the county schools begin one week from next Monday, immediately after the institute.

Several light showers which fell here yesterday afternoon greatly refreshed and invigorated the earth. The drouth is tre mendous.

The Knightsville Republican Club met last evening and were addressed mainly on the Constitutional Amendments, by W. M. Ridpath. m.

Brazil was well represented during the middle of the week, at the Bridgeton Fair. The horse. Bay Frank, owned by H. D. Smith, formerly of this place, took itlie first prize for speed.

Rev. Mr. Mickels, of the Methodist church, of this place, will go to the annual conference of his church next Monday, and will be absent for at least two weeks. So far as can be learned his return to this appointment is unanimously desired, and such will probably be the result. "lit

The furnace has steamed up and will be in operation as soon as everything can be got in order and the state of the weather will admit. The excellent demand and advanced price of iron during tho past year has made the business more profitable than formerly and gives encouragement for the future.

Homer Hicks has been spending his summer vacation in the south part of the county visiting relatives. He started on his return yesterday to the Indian Territory, where he has been engaged for several years as a teacher in the Indian schools. His experience as a teacher among the half-civilized Indians is curious and involves his personal safety in constant jeopardy.

She Was Not Dead Nor Yet Did She Sleep. The clearest case of resurrection ever witnessed by us was at the Haifcock and English meeting last night in the Sixth ward. A fellow with two girls in a buggy were standing in front of Qayhart's grocery where the crowd was drinking beer, when the horse became frightened and ran away. In turning a corner the buggy struck afire plug and threw the occupants to tho grounds. The man and one of the women jumped up and began looking for each other as it was as dark as it could be on a night when there is no moon and none of the gas lamps arc lighted. While in search of each other they were startled by groans and found that their companion was apparently very badly injured, when the man asked her if she was hurt. Her reply was "You have killed me you know you have, 00-00-00. Alight was brought and after lying there for awhile she became ashamed, and getting up fhe "pitched into" the fellow with a vengeance, but—fortunately no one was hurt.

••-•Terre Haute Council No. 2, Royal Templars of Temperance, initiated twenty new members last evening, at Odd Fellows' hall, on Main street, where they hold meetings every two weeks. This order is rapidly increasing in the middle portion of the United States, north of the yellow fever region. Male members have an insurance on their lives of $2,000, and female members, of $1,000, who pass a satisfactory medical examination, and to* tally abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors. It is claimed to be one of the safest orders for life insurance, on account of no deaths from intemperance.

This Council has been in existence fourteen months, and has had only nine assessments. They have lost one mem ber by death, and $2,000 was paid the widow of the deceased member within fifteen days after his death. The office of the Supreme Council is located at Bulla o, New York*

WASHINGTON,

DEBT REDUCTION

WASHINGTON, August 27.—The Treasury receipts to-day, reached a million and a half of dollars, over one million being from custom receipts. This is the largest •mount received from custom in a siugle day in many months. The decreose in the debt this month will reach at least twelve millions of dollars.

FLOOD OF CAMPAIGN LITERATURE. The Republican Congressional Campaign Committee to morrow will issue a new campaign document, making the forfy-thira on their regulsir list. It is entitled: "Home Rule in the Solid South." It treats of repudiation, election swindles, ballot-box stuffing and suppression of votes. There is also a chapter ou educa tion in the South, or rather want of it. The number of documents which the Committee is spreading over the country is simply immense. More than a dozen men are employed in folding documents alone. In no previous campaign has there been such a scattering of documents broadcast treating of such a variety of topics as are issued from headquarters here this year.

SIIKKMAN-HANCOCK COKRESPONDKNCE. The Sherman-Hancock correspondence attracted considerable attention here today, especially in army circles. It is conceded, nowever, that "there is nothing in the correspondence that justified the fiigh if not the sensational expectations that had been raised. The ^tartliis afternoon reflects the prevailing sentiment when it says: "This correspondence shows that our army officers are thoroughly loyal to our republican institutions. In this rerespect they differ from the great generals of somo of tho countries of Europe, notably of France, where the^y have aided on more than one occasiou betraying the nation into despotic hands."

SOUTH CAROLINA CENSUS FRAUDS. United States Marshal Wallace,of South Carolina, who has been in the city for a few days, left for New York to-day. Wallace is a South Caroliatiian by birth, his father having served several terms in Congress. He says that the census just taken in that State is stuffed and fraudulent, and should not be allowed to stand. He had an interview with the President yesterday, and with General Walker today. The President said there were suspicious looks about the matter in conneo tion with the census down there, but ho hardly thinks there have been systematic to perpetrate a fraud. He refused to order the census retaken as the case now stands, but probably will if full returns carry out present suspicions. But at present, on evidence already received, he does not think himself justified in sum marily ordering the census retaken.

UNPOPULARITY OF LAXDERM.

INFLUENTIAL INDIANA DEMOCRATS DISSERTING THE PARTY. LOUISVILLE, IVY, August 27.-—It is announced that W. C. DePauw, of New Albany, will not support Landers. Dem ocratic candidate for Governor. DePauw, next to Mr. Euglish, is the richest man in Indiana. The reason he has renounced the Democracy is his fear of the inability of tho party to conduct safely the affairs of the Government. New Albany, is in Clark, which has heretofore been a Democratic county.

The Ledger-Standard, a Democratic hewspaper, refuses to support Landers, whom it denounces daily. Others have signified their intention to scratch him.

The New Albany Republicans are a* busy as beavers, and hope for a consider able change. Thff' Democrats have a heavy loaa to carry in Landers, but there is no doubt English will run stronger than he, and it is not prudent to think otherwise. He is reported by a gentleman who is known to be in his confidence that not a day goes by that he fails to work fifteen hours. Money is up now, and more will follow. Kentucky voters know this..

A COLORED MAN NOBLY DEFENDS HIS CASTLE.

ATLANTA, GA., August 27.—Night before last a terrible tragedy occurred five miles from Cochran. Ga. A body of armed men, and masked by having handkerchiefs tied over their faces, and their coats turned, went tothe residence of a colored man named Jno. Brown, and bursting open the door to his cottage, began flnng guns and pistols inside at Brown and his family. Brown seized a doublebarreled shot-gun and fired both barrel# at the men standing in the doorway. They both fell, mortally wounded, their heaas being shot nearly from their bodie*.

The other assassins fled at once. The two men killed were Frank and Mick Dykes, brothers. The Coroner held an inquest, and the vcrdict of the jury that it was justifiable homicide. Much excitement prevails in Cochran and the neighborhood to day. Efforts are being made to ascertain the names of those who escaped-
