DR. TALMAGE ADDRESSES THE ENCAMPMENT
AT MT. GRETNA.

Lebanon, Pa., August 17.?The
American Farmers' Encantymobt at
Mount Gretna, near this city, to-day
listened attentively to a remarkable (lis
course by the ureal Brooklyn preacher,
Rev. T. DeWItt Talmagc. who arrived
Iiere yesterday from the Chautauqua, at
Piedmont, Ga., where he spoke Wednesday
last. The subiect was one peculiarly
suited to the vast audience, being on
"Farming a Gospel Type." I Kings, xix,
19: "Elisha, the son of Shaphat. who was
plowing with twelve oxen before him,
? and he with the twelfth."
Representatives of the?great Farmers'
associations from all parts of the country

advance. The surrounding densely-populated
counties of Pennsylvania are also
fully represented. To-day's services
were held in the open air. An immense
choir, from ihe churches of Lebanon, led
the music. Rev*. Dr. Talmage spoke as
follows:
Farmers of America! Accept my salutation.
Our text puts us down into the
plow's furrow, where many of us have
been before. My boyhood passed on a
farm, and my father, a farmer, your style
of life is familiar to me. One of my
earliest recollections is that of mv father
fnmjnor in from the hot harvest-ticid CX
hausted, therptrdpk/ition streaming from
his forehead and ehlb>^ and fainting on
the door-sill, and my niOsifr resuscitating
him, until seeing the alirfm of the
household, he said, "Don't be frightened.
I got a little tired, and the sun was hot,
but I am all right now." And I remember
mother seated at the table, often saying,
"Weil, I am too tired to eat!" The
fact is, that I do not think the old folks
got thoroughly rested until they lavdown
in the grave-yard back of Somcrville,
to take the last sleep.
Office-seekers go through the land and
they stand on political platforms, and
? they tell the farmers the story about the
independent Hie of the farmer, giving
flattery where they ought to give sym*
pathy. Independent of what? 2s o class
of people in this country have it harder
than farmers. Independent of what?
Of the curculio that stinirs the peach
trees'? of the rust in the wheat? of the
long rain with the rye down? Inde_
pendent of the grasshopper? of the
locust? of the army worm? of the potatobug?
Independent of the drought that
bums up the harvest? Independent of
the cow with the hollow horn ? or the
sheep with the foot-rot9 or the pet
horse with' a nail in his hoof? Independent
of the cold that freezes out the
winter grain ? Independent of the sno wbank
out of which he must shovel himself?
Independent of the cold weather
when he stands theshing his numbed
fingers^round his body to keep them
fron^fHfr frosted? Independent of the
frozen feet? Indepen

A^rilic struggle. And
Ahis great National
^Lnt may do someRihe
burdens of the
with the dew,-and rode the horses wuu
the halter to the brook until we fell olf,
and hunted the mow for nests until the
feathered occupants went, cackling
* away. So we all understand rustic allusions.
The Bible is full of them. In
Christ's sermon on the Mount, you see
the full-blown lillies and the glossy
black of the crow's wing as it tiles over :
Mount Olivet. David and John. Paul i
and Isaiah find in country life a source
of frequent illustration, while Christ <
takes the responsibility of calling God a i
farmer, declaring: '"My Father is the i
husbandman." ^ 11
Xoali was the first farmer. We say ' 1
nothing about Cain, the tiller of the soil, j 1
Adam was a gardener on a large scale, j 1
but to Xoah was given all the acres of i
the earth. Elisha was an agriculturist. 1
not culturing a ten-acre lot. for in my
text you find him plowing with twelve i
yoke of oxen before him, and he with the }
twelfth. In Bible times the land was so
plenty, and the inhabitants so few, that f
Xoah was right when he nave to every .
inhabitant a certain portion of land; [
that land. If cultured, ever after to be \
his own possession. ]
They were not small crops raised In r
those times, for though the arts were j
the plow turned up very rich sou, 11
aud barley, and cotton, and ilax, and all I f
kinds of grain came up at the call of the }
to harvesters. Pliny tells of one stalk ot s
^ grain that had on it between 300 and 400 ^
cars. The rivers and the brooks, through ^
artificial channels, were brought down (
to the roots of the corn, and to this j
babit of turning a river wherever it was {
wanted Solomon refers when lie says: c
"The King's heart is in the hands of the \
Lord, and He turneth it as the rivers of %
water are turned, withersoever He will." ^
The wild beasts were caught, and then r
a hook was put into theimosc, and then ^
they were led over the field, and to that l
God refers when he says to wicked Sen- ]
nacherib: "I will put a hook in thy nose c
and I will bring thee back by the way t
which thou earnest." And God has a j \
hook in every man's nose, whether it be j
Nebuchadnezzar or Ahab or Herod. lie j t
may iniUK inmseu very muepeuucut. uuu .
some lime in his life or m the hour.of ^
his death, lie will iind that the Lord Al- =?
mighty has a hook in his nose.
This was the rule in regard to the cul- ,
ture of the ground. "Thou shall not plow ^
with an ox and an ass together," illus- "
trating the folly of ever putting intelli- T
gent and useful and pliable men in association
with the subborn and the un- /
manageable. The vast majority of '
troubles in the churches and in reforma- J}
tory institutions cornea from the disre- j
gard for this command of the Lord. I s
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and }
an ass together." s
There were larsc amounts of property l
hivested in cattle. The Moa bites paid | s
100.000 sheep as an aunual tax. Job ; r
had 7,000 sheep. 3.000 camels. 500 yoke j r
ol oxen. The time of vintage was n
ushered in with mirth and music. The [ 0
clusters of the vine were put in to ihe | 5
winepresBLand then five meu would get;1
into t'.!e jftess and trample out the juice \ *
' fronrlhe grape until their garments were s
srriurated with the whir and had become ^
Bthc emblems of slaughter. Christ Him- s
I elf, wounded until covered with the c
lood ol crucifixion, made use of this i [
fusion when the question was asked : 1
RVherefore art thou red in thine ap- Y
kirel and thy garments like one who j1
jfeadeth the wine-vat?" lie responded: j *
^have trodden' the winepress alone." j ?
BL all ages there has been great honor j11
to agriculture. Seventh-eighths of i ^
H?eple in every country are disciples i c
of the plow. A government is strong in
proportion as it is supported by an athletic
and industrious yeomanry. So long
as before the fall of Carthage, Strabo
wrote twen tv-eisht books on agriculture;
Hesiod wrote a poem on the same subject?^'The
Weeks arid Da)S." Cato
was prouder of his work on husbandry
than of ail his military conquests. But
I must not be tempted into a discussion
of agricultural conquests. Standing
amid the harvests and orchards and vineyards
of the Bible, aud standing amid
the harvests and orchards and vineyards
of our own country?I want to run out
the analogy between the production of
crops ..and the growth of grace in the
soiu?an lucsc sacreu writers iuumu^
use of that analogy.
In the first place I remark, in grace as
in the fields there must be a plow. That
which theologians call conviction is only
the plowshare turning up the sins that
have been rooted and matted in the soul.
A farmer said to his indolent son:
"There are a hundred dollars buried
deep in that field." The son went to
work and plowed the field from fence to
fence, and he plowed it very deep, and
then complained that he had not found
the money; but when the crop had been
gathered and sold for a hundred dollars
more than any previous year, then the
young man took the hint as to what his
father meant when he said there were a
hundred dollars buried down in that
field. Deep plowing for a crop. Deep
plowing for a soul. He who makes
light of sin will never amount to anything
in the church or in the world. If
a man speaks of sin as though it were
au inaccuracy or a mistake, instead of
the loathsome, abominable, consuming,
and damning thing that God hates; that
man will never yield a harvest of usefulness.
When I was a boy I plowed a field
with a team of spirited horses. I plowed
it very quickly. Once in a while I passed
over some of the sod without turning
it, but I did not jerk back the plow with
its rattling clevises. 1 tnougnt it maae
no difference. After awhile my lather
came along and said: "Why, this will
never do; this isn't plowed deep enough;
there you have missed this and you have
missed that." And he plowed it over
again. The difficulty with a great many
people is that they are on 13- scratched
with conviction when the subsoil plow
of God's truth ought to be put in up to
Hie beam.
My word is to all Sabbath-school
teachers, to ail parents, to all Christian
workers?plow deep ! And if in yonr
own personal experience you are apt to
UIXU (I JLCUICUl< V 1CI> Ui U1JV OIU1U1 omv
your nature, put down into your soul
the ten commandments which reveal the
holiness of God. and that sharp and
glittering coulter will turn up your soul
to the deepest depths. If a man preaches
to you that vdu are only a little out of
order by reason of sin and that }*ou need
only a little fixing-up, he deceives! You
have suffered an appalling injury by
reason of sin. There are quick poisons,
and slow poisons, but the druggist could
give you one drop that would kill the
body. And sin is like that drug; so
cn r?ni<snnnns_ sn fatal that one
drop is enough to kill the soul.
Deep ploughing for a crop. Deep
ploughing for a soul. Broken heart or
no religion. Broken soul or no harvest.
Why was it that David and the jailer
and the publican and Pau^rmde such
ado about their sins ? Ha^PRey lost
,tlieic~s?D&e5-s?Trie ploughshare
struck theai. Conviction turned up a
great many things that were forgotten.
As a farmer ploughing sometimes turus
up the skeleton of a man or the anatomy
of a monster long ago buried, so the
ploughshare of couviciion turus up the
ghastly skeletons of sin long ago entombed.
Geologists never brought up
from the depths of the mountain mightier
ichthyosaurus or megatherium.
But what means all_this_croote(L
BM^^I^P^^^^eason ; I remember
that on the farm we set a standard
with a red flag at the other end of the
Geld. We kept our eye on that. We
aimed at that. We ploughed up to that.
Losiug sight of that, we made a crooked
furrow. Keeping our eyes on that we
mo/la o ctvoinlit fnvmw "\Tmv in this

matter of conviction we must have some
standard to guide us. It is a red standard
that God has set at the other end of
the field. It is the cross. Keeping your
eye ou -that you will make a straight
furrow. Losing sight of it you will
make a crooked furrow. Plough up to
the cross. Aim not at either end of the
horizontal piece of the cross but at the
upright pieee. at the centre of it. the
ieart of the Son of God who bore your
sins and made satisfaction. Crying and
seeping will not bring you through.
' Ilim hath God exalted to-be Prince
md Saviour to give repentance." Oh!
)lough up to the cross !
Again, i remarK 111 sjracu as in me
ield there must be a sowing. In the
tutumnal weather you lind the farmer
;oing across the field at astride of about
Aventy-three inches, aud at every stride
ic puts his hand into the sack of grain
tnd he sprinkles the seed corn over the j
ield. It looks silly to a man who does
lot know what lie is doing. He is doing
i very important work. He is scatter- j
ng the winter grain, and though the J
mow may come, the next year there ,
vill be a great crop. Now, that is what
ve are doing when we are preaching: the
iospel?we are scattering the seed. It
s the foolishness of preaching, but it is ^
lie winter 2rain; ana tiiougn tne snow
>f worldiness ma}' come down upon it,
t will yield after a while glorious bar- |
'est. Let us be sure we sow the right 5
;ind of seed. Sow mullen stalk and *
nullen stalk will come up. Sow Canada
bristles and Canada thistles will come
ip. Sow wheat and wheat will come up.
^et us distinguish between truth and (
rror. Let us know the difference be- J
ween wheat and hellebore, oats and
lenbane.
The largest denomination in this coun
ry is the denomination of Nothingar- <
:ms. Their religion is a system of ne- j
n f ions. You sav to one of them. *'What <
[o you believe?" "Well, I don't believe !
a infant baptism." '"What do you be- ^
ieve ? "Well I don't believe in the pre- j
everance of the saints." "Well, now j
ell me what you do believe?" "Well, t
! don't believe in the eternal punish- !
tieut of the wicked." Their religion is a j
ow of cyphers. Believe something and j
each it; or, to resume the figure of my ^
ext. scatter abroad the right kind of ,

Ired a thousand- the thousand tenthous- j i
and, the ten thousand one hundred
thousand?on, on forever.
Asain. I remark, in srace as in the
farm there must be a harrowing. I refer
now not to a harrow that goes over
Hie lield iu order to prepare the ground
for the seed, but a harrow which goes
oves after the seed is sown, lest the birds
pick up the seeds, sinking it dowu into
the earth so that it can take root. There
arc new kinds of harrow, but the harrow
as I remember it was made of bars of
wood nailed across each other, and the
1 / 1- ? - - /?_ S _ T ?i1_
unuersiae 01 eacn oar was iurmsuea wiui
sharp teeth, and when the horses were
hitched to it it went tearing and leaping
across the lield. driving the seed down
into the earth until it sprung up m the
harvest. Bereavement, sorrow, persecution
are the Lord's harrows to sink
the Gospel truth into your heart. There
were truths that you heard thirty years
aao, that have not affected you nntil recently.
Some great trouble came over
vnn find flip truth was hnrrmvod in. nnd
it has come up. What did God mean in
this country iu 1857? For a century
there was the Gospel preached, but a
great deal of it prodnced no result. Then
God harnessed a wild panic to a harrow
of commercial disaster, and that harrow
went down Wall street and up Wall
street, down Third street and up Third
street, down State street and np State
street, until the whole land was torn to
pieces as it had never been before. What
followed the harrow? A great awakening
in which there were 500.000 souls
brought into the kingdom of our Lord.
No harrow, no crop.
Again, I remark, in grace as in the
farm there must be a reaping. Many
Christians speak of religion as though it
were a matter of economics or insurance.
They expect to reap in the next worid.
Uh, no! Now is the time to reap.
Gather up the joy of the Christrian religion
this morning, this afternoon, this
night. If you have not as mach grace
as you would like to have, thank God
for what you have, and pray lor more.
You are no worse enslaved than Joseph,
no worse troubled than was Day id. no
worse scourged than was Paul. Yet,
amid the rattling of fetters, and amid the
gloom of dnugcons, and amid the horror
of shipwreck, they triumphed in the
grace of God. The weakest man here
has 500 acres of spiritual joy all ripe.
Why do you not go and reap it ? You
have been groaning overyoor infirmities
for thirty years. Now give one round
shout over your emancipation. Y'ou say
Iiotta if e/\ liord* T'nn rmarht if.

You wonder why this great
cold trouble keeps revolving through
your soul, turning and turning, with a
black hand on the crank. Ah, that
trouble is the grindstone ou which you
are to sharpen your siekle. To the
fields! Wake up! Take off your green
spectacles, your blue spectacles, your
black spectacles. Pull up the corners of
your mouth as far as you pull them
down. To the fields! Reap! reap!
Again, I remark, in grace as iu farming,
there is a time for threshing. I tell
you bluntly that is death. Just as a
farmer beats the wheat out of the straw,
: so death beats the soul out of the body.
Every sickness is a stroke of the flail, aud
the sickbed is the threshing floor. What,
say you, is death to a good man, only
taking the wheat out of the straw. That
is all. An aged man has lallen asleep.
Only yesterday you saw him in the suuny
porch, playing with his grand-children.
-Calmlyreceived the message

again. Put him away in the slumber of

night. Grandfather was never afraid of
anything. He will rise in the morning
of the resurrection. Grandfather}^^

her music, and her *oys are scattered all
up and down the stairs just as she left
them. What if the hand that plucked
four o'clocks out of the meadow is still?
It will wave the eternal triumph. What
if the voice that made music in the home
is still? It will sing the eternal hosanna.
Put a white rose in one hand, and a red
rose in the other hand, and a wreath of
orange blossoms on the brow; the white
flower for the victory, the red flower for
the Saviour's sacrifice, the orange bios
soms for her marriage day. Anything
ghastly about that? Oh, no. The sun
went down and the flower shut. The
wheat threshed out of the straw. "Dear
Lord, give me sleep," said a dying boy;
the son of one of my elders, "Dear
Lord, give me sleep." And he closed
his eyes and awoke in glory. Henry W.
Longfellow, writting a letter of condolence
to those parents, said: "Those last
words were .beautifully poetic. "Dear
Lord, give me sleep."
" 'Twas not in cruelty, not in wrath
That the reaper came that day;
'Twas an angal that visited the earth
Ana tooK tne nower away."
So it may be with us when our work
is all done. "Dear Ix>rd, give me sleep."
I have one more thought to present.
[ have spoken of the plowing, of the
sow ing, of the harrowing, of the reaping,
)f the threshing. I must now speak a
noment of the garnering.
Where is the garner? Need I tell you?
Dh, no. So many have gone out from
four own circles?yea, from your own
amily, that you have had your eyes on
hat <?arner for manv a vear. What a
lard time some of them had! In Gctlisemaues
of suffering, they sweat great
Irops of blood. They took the "cup of
;rembling" and they put it to their hot
ips and they cried: "If it be possible, let
;his cup pass from me." With tougues
)f burning agony they cried: ,40 Lord,
leliver my soul!" J3ut they got over it.
riiey all got over it. Garnered! Their
;ears wiped away; their battles ail endid;
their burdens lifted. Garnered! The
Lord of the harvest will not allow those
sheaves to perish in the equinox. Garicred!
Some of us remember, on the
arm, that the sheaves were put on the
!,op of the rack, which surmounted the
vagon, and these sheaves were piled
higher and higher, and after a while the
iorses started for the barn; and these
sheaves swayed to and iro in ine winu,
md the old wagou creaked, and the
lorses made a struggle, aud pulled so
iiard the harness came up in loops of
leather on their back, and when the front
ivheel struck the elevated lloor of the
barn, it seemed as if the load wonld go
ao farther, until the workmen gave a
jreat shout, and then with one last treneudous
strain, the horses pulled in the
oad; then they were unharnessed, and
orkful alter forkful of grain tell in the
now. 0 my friends, our getting into

A DAY OF CRIME IN KENTUCKY.
A Magistrate Killed in His Own Court
ltoom?Other Murders.
t T'.. i ii\ \ n
ajvi 15v iLjiji*, s\y., august li'-?-^iU
epidemic of murder seems to be sweeping
over this State. Four sensational '
killings were reported to-day, with i
other Counties to hear from. In Harlan :
the Howard Turner feud has broken :
out afresh, and Bob Pope, one of the 1
Turner sympathizers and a County :
magistrate, is now dead, while a reward
is offered for the arrest of John Scott. <
who aimed the gun that laid Pope low.
A couple of nights before the shooting
occurred an ox belonging to i'ope
was found dead, with a rifle bullet
through its body. Leonard Scott was
suspected of doing the deed, and was
accordingly arrested and brought before
Pope as the nearest magistrate for ,
trial. Pope refused to try the man for
the killing of his own ox, and ordered
him taken to Harlan Court House.
Scott refused to go. In the meantime
John Scott, a brother of Leonard, came
| to the house. He carried a rille and a
i shotgun, and on entering set them both
j down. After some parley Leonard
J Scott seized the ritle and, declaring lie
j wotdd never he taken away for trial,
j fired it point blank at the magistrate.
! The shot missed its mark, and PoDe
then rushed for his gun to defend himself,
but at this moment the other Scott
took a hand with the shotgun, and
emptied the contents of one barrel into
Pope. The gun was loaded with birdshot
and the entire contents entered
the man's groin.
Pope was a son-in-law of Judge
Lewis, the leader o: the Lewis faction,
formerly known as the Turner. In the
famous Howard-Turner feud the Scott
boys are said to be Howard sympathizers.
The Scotts made their escape,
and. althoueh Judge Lewis has offered
a reward for theirwcapture, they have
thus far baffled the efforts of the officers.
The third affair was in the nature of
assassination. Willis Bell of Oldhain
County was shot from ambush while
on his way home from Lagrange. Ilis
brother-in-law, Jack Max field, with
whom he was not on good terms, is accused
of the crime. Maxfield has been
arrested.
The fourth murder occurred in Ilenry
County, and was peculiarly atrocious,
the object being robbery. B. F. Taylor
was the victim. Yesterday he rode into
Sulphur and drew 840 from the bank
with which to make some purchases.
About dark he turned his horse's head
homeward. The banks of a creek, which
lay in his way aad was near his farm, are
covered with a dense growth of short,
cfnhlw ehrnlilmrv .Tnst-, hp reached
a place where the creek could be forded
two men sprang from the bushes into
the path. Both were masked, and while
one of them grasped the bridle rein the
other pressed the point of a pistol to
Taylor's temple and commanded that
he hand over his money. Mr. Taylor,
without replying, seized the highwayman.
wrenched the pistol from his grasp
and was about to shoot him, when the
man holding the bridle suddenly struck
him a terrible blow in the stomach
with a club. Like a log he fell to the
ground, and. after emptying his pockets,
the scoundrels left him for dead, but
me norse, wnicn nau uecome irignieueu
at the struggle, dashed off toward the
iarm. The empty saddle told the sons
of Mr. Taylor thac something had
happened to their father, and they
started on the hunt for him. He was
soon found, and this morning he was
able to give an account of the affair.
But even then he was thought to be
dying, for he was undoubtedly injured
internally.

lotto has a sensation. In it one of the
prettiest of her daughters is theprinci fefe'tor.
4th of last J une, this city was
'startled by the elopement of Miss Corinne
Xeisles with one Charles G. Lamoine.
Miss Neisler had met Lamoine
in Atlanta where she was visiting
friends, and fromed a deep attachment
for him. Her parents objected to the
match, but under the pretense of attending
the exercises of the unveiling of
the Lee statue, the young lady went to
Richmond, and there met Lamoine.
Iler parents were astonished to receive
a telegram announcing her marrige in
Boston. :
Rumor in the meanwhile was rife. .
It was reported that Lamoine was a j
noted bigamist. Deplorable to relate .
these rumors appeared to be only too (
true. i
Yesterday, in the city of Manchester, (
X. II., Charles G. Lamoine was arrested .
on a warrent sworn out on a charge of <
bigamy by Mrs. C. G. Lamoine of Cin- J
cinati, 0.. who has been on his track '
ever since he deserted her last April. (
Lamoine claims that his Cincinnati ,
wife is the only one he is bound to by the ,
marriao-tt vows, but his wife savs that .
he deserted her four months after the j
marriage and married Corinne Neisler,
and that this is his seventh ma trimonial

Xew Orleans, August 20.?A spec- i
ial to the Times-Democrat from Belton, ,
Texas says that on the 14th, in the northwestern
part of the county, W. II. Tweddle
entered the residence "of A. B. Tyler
during his absence and drew a revolver
on Mrs. Tyler. On Sunday evening
Tweddle returned with his son, George,
and a negro and surrounded the house.
Tweddle opened fire on Mrs. Tyler, 1
wounding her in the hand. Mr. Tyler, <
hearing the screams of his wife in front l

Tweddle shot him, killing him instantly. <

THE GLYMPH MURDER AGAIN.
An Abbeville Tragedy Revived with Peculiar
Circumstances.
This quiet village, just across the Savannah
river, has long been a haven for
divorce seekers from South Carolina, on
account or me siringenz, uivorce taws
in that State, says a Ilartwell (Ga.)
special to the New York World. One
of the divorce cases to be settled soon
is of great interest. The plaintiff is
Mrs. Jennie Glymph, and she asks the
court to grant her an absolute divorce
from her husband, George, with the
privilege of resuming ner maiden name,
Jennie Townsend. At the last term of
the superior court she was granted
legal separation from her husband, the
verdict in the absolute divorce to be
rendered at the coming term of the
court. In her petition she gives the
following account of her life, which is
substantiated by abundant evidence :
Twenty-three years ago there w;is
born to the Townsends. one of the lirst
fa. .ilies of South Carolina, an only
daughter. This child was reared in
wealth, given every comfort and indulgence.
Her beauty was remarkable, and
she had many suitors for her hand and
heart. Prominent among these were
.John and George Glymph, the former
being about her own age, and his brother
being about twenty-five years old.
To the younger of the brothers the girl
gave her heart and promised her hand
The older brother gave up all hope of
winning the girl and appeared soon to
have lived down his love.
When she was seventeen years old
Miss Townsend was being educated in
a prominent seminary in her native
State, but her love for John Glyinph
did not abate, and he proposed an elopement
and a marriage at a neighboring1
IlilUlMCl 5 ilUU SUC U11CICU UU VJUJCVyHUli.
He was to meet her about eight o'clock
at night in the grouuds of the seminary
and take her in a carriage to the minister's
house. The young man took his
brother into his confidence. John was
delayed by something happening, and
George wppt. to the grounds to quiet
the young .ady'sanxiety. When George
reached the rendezvous he found the
girl already at the appointed spot and
anxiously awaiting her lover. Tne
night was yery dark, and as soon as he
came in sight she mistook him for his
younger brother?whom he very much
resembled?and flew into his arms.
Without correcting her he lifted her
into the buggy in which he came and
drove to a friend's, where they were
married. This was made possible by
the peculiar marriage laws of South
Carolina, which neither requires a marriage
license nor a minister to perform
a legal ceremony, but simply to consent
in the presence or two witnesses, xne
girl had not seen the face of the man
she had married until he carried her to
his home, and when she discovered her
fatal error she was crazed ...th grief.
John Glymph, when he reached the rendezvous
and did not find his sweetheart,
was likewise grief-stricken; but when
he discovered his brother's peritidy he
took his disappointment even harder
than Miss Townsend did. Mrs.Glymph
succeeded in keepiug the matter a
secret. Two daughters were born to
the Glymphs, but soon George began to
maltreat his handsome wife. When
John Glymph heard of this he took a
house near the Glymphs, in order to
protect his former sweetheart if there
should be occasion for so doing. He
did so once and was shot and killed by
his brother. George was arrested, but
was acquitted on a technicality. His
wife removed to this place and began
divorce proceedings, and there is little
doubt but that tbe coming term of
court will grant her request.
REPUBLICANS AT SEA.
Fifteen Senators Opposed to the Electlou
Bill's Passage.
Washington, Aug. 14.?The fourth
in the series of Republican senatorial
night and was as ineffuctual as any of
the preceding caucuses so far as definite
results are concerned. It was the most
important caucus yet held, the most
largely attended and the most pointed in
the matter of speeches made. Thirtynine
senators were present and with the
exception of Senator Cullom, who was
ill, and Senator Sawyer, every one remained
till adjournment?a very unusual
proceeding.
There was an extreme diversity of
views manifested and the caucus adjourned
simply because an agreement
was impossible.* It was a very unharmonious
meeting. Senators Quay and Cameron
both made speeches and strongly
represented the political inexpediency of
doing anything with the Federal election
bill at present and urged the necessity of
sarly adjournment from a party standpoint.
Senator Aldrich also was on the
side of those who desired adjournment
md was spokesman for those senators
svho view the embarrasment and delay
Dver the tariff bill as out weighing all
)ther considerations in deciding tne
policy to be pursued. Senator Plumb
ilso spoke and it is understood oppposed
;ne election diu oui ana out.
For the friends of the bill which had
caused these numerous caucuse Senators
Soar and Spooner were champions. The
atter made a strong speech, which some
lenominated "reading the riot act." He
yarned the senators that they must meet
he issue squarely. The elections bill
nust be passed now?at this session?or
lot at all. It would be futile to go before
,he country with any statement that

It was of supreme importance

vithout the election bill being acted on.
Hie number of these senators is placed
it fifteen. Finally about 10:30 an adournment
was proposed, and was finally
'orced by a majority vote. This was
he only vote token. A general underitanding
prevailed among the senators
;hat nothing should be given to the
niblic as to the caucus, and they refer ed
all newspaper men to Senator Ed
lianas, wno is wen Known as an oppon-1
mt of publicity in such matters. The
Vermont senator was chairman of the
:aucus.
One Munt be ? Republican.
The Governor of South Carolina has
jecn making some remarks to the Presilent
of the United States. The Governor
appointed two Demorats, instead
)t one Kepublican and one Democrat, as
commissioners to the World's Fair, as
:he law provides. His attention was
called to the matter by the President,
ind the Governor rcplcd that lie appoin;ed
two Democrats because there was
10 Republican in the State of South
Carolina to whom he was willing to intrust
so responsible a duty. The law
)n the subject is plain, however, and
Jie question now is whether the commission
of one of the commissioners

Regarding the cause of the accident
Division Superintendent French, of the
Old Colony road, said last night: "We -j
nave not maae an investigation, out i j
from what we can leam it appears that
the section men, who were at work on 1
the track, had what we call a 'track
jack' on the rails, and that they had it on
when the train came riving around the
curve. From all indications, although I
we don't know it officially, the jack was
not taken out when the "train came up. ?
Whether or not the danger signal was s
set will not be known till the oflicial in- *
vestigation Thursday." ,
A Globe reporter, in prosecuting his
investigations, found in a lot of weeds,
beside the track near the bridge, the ]
jack which is supposed to have caused
such terrible loss of life. 1
Marks of the fianges of wheels were
plainly cut in the heavy tool and it bore
evidences of having been run over by a ^
train of cars. The sides of the socket of ]
the casting to receive the handles by J
which the weight is raised were pressed
close together and a large hole was cut J
through the casting and the bottom of
the casting was broken off. <

named Welch, could not be found last t

Z. T. llallerton. Macon, Ga., writes :
"I contracted blood poison. 1 lirst tried
physicians, and then went to Hot
Springs. I returned home a ruined man
physically. Nothing seemed to do me
any good. My mother persuaded me to
try BBB. To my utter antonishment
every ulcer quickly healed."
.Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., says: "Qr>me>

limbs, so I could hardly walk, my throat

and surprising as it may seem, the use ,
of five bottles cured me."
A Deed of Heroism.
Anderson. S. C., August 19.?Mam
street was the scene on yesterday afternoon
of a deed of heroism seldom equalled.
in which Frank Miller, a young; ne- I
gro man, was,the hero. A horsp.drivp.piby
Mrs Schirmer, her motiieT^iu-law and
a little girl being with her in the carriage,
became frightened at the engine of the
Rough and Ready Fire Company, which
was throwing water on the square, and
ran away. Frank Miller, who was standing
on the sidewalk near the National
Bank, seeing the runaway ran out aDd
caught hold of the harness, and after I
running some distance at the side of the
horse and seeing that he would have to
turn loose or he struck against a post
toward which they weare fast approaching.
he gave one hound and leaped upon
the back of the running animal, and
gathering up the lines, succeeded in bringing
him to a standstill. Xo one was
hurt, although the ladies were dread- r
fully frightend and one of them fainted.
A handsome purse was at once made up
and Dersented to the rescuer, who had no "I
doubt saved the lives of these ladies at J
the risk of his own. It was a noble act, ^
and one that cannot he too highly ^
commended.^-Xews and Courier. p
