FOR VICE-PSBSIDSSrT, 1LLEH p THUM?N, ; ?F OHIO. EDITORIAL ITEMS. A serious acerden-t eeearred oa> the C. C. & A. raffroad bet Saaday. Some one had p?aeed a ^nicking punch,r o? the raSa?an impassable ob ject?and tfcetraa straek h going forty miles an hoar. The crash was terrific. No lives were, fosfe, bai several seriously injured, the fireman r Jobs Parks of Columbia probably fatally, since bath legs were crtxsbeS, and amputation ren dered aeceasa*?. The fiend, if eatsg?t will probably be lynched. The passen gers passed resolutions complimentary to Engineer James Alexander's eootocss and eoaragft. General Phil Sheridan died at Non ?rattt, Mass., on Sunday evening last at ten o'clock. The end was sudden and due to h*art?fe?iare. The dktiagoisb ed dead has- been Hi several month*. He has bad the best of skilled attention, Bat to bo ava& beyond the prolongation - for a fevr week*, of * ftfe aow ended. SheridaB was- a great soldier. It was he, more than Grant, who compelled Lee's surrender. Bis military services are too wall known fo need repetition here. Had. it not been for his peremp tory refusai and ri-l health he woald have doubtless bees nominated by the Republicans for ^President, at the Chi cago Con-veatioo. * .Sheridan was oaly fifty-seven years old. He achieved >h is honors as a yoc-ng mail. As a soldier, ? he was ranked by Grant, with Napolesn and Frederick the Great. A part?! estimate, doubtless, bot one that shows his greatness nevertheless. The papers are-?t? of .eulogistic comments^ The two extraordinary panics that occurred at the democratic mass meet ing in Charleston are furnishing food for much satirical* commeBt. The en terprising local correspondent of the Columbia Register says he eaanot ac count for it. He is an old stager and knows as mach about such things as anybody. The bass dram is saddled j with most~&f the responsibility, as its j 4boooV resembled the soand of o&e of the familiar 'shakes" of two years ago." Possibly dynamite was dreaded^ Anyhow a harvest of coats sud bats and umbrellas was reaped by the aneak thieves present. A number of persons tffere more or less injured, bet .none fatally. Altogether the occurrence- was a strange one. Gapt. Dawson, not being personally assailed as be alleges, did not reply to Ben. Tillman as was expected, in Charleston on last Friday night. Per haps the gallant Captain had adopted j C- i Uaskeirs plan on Ben, and taken Ut :he club where over a bottle of JuV?V^ia p^rt they came to an ander- j* -t?r^?g. These clobs, Ben says, are j J*:;c.-:v-a3 and seductive places. At j. x^y ra*i'i; ;he whole episode of Ken hunt-: ng the Captain all over the State and ihn Captaia s anxiety to meet -hic, coc-1 plod with the fact fbat when rbcy did: jic&t si I-st, no fur flew, k comparable j zz.\y to the MoiberGoose rhyme: 'Tbs kiag ?f'France and twenty thou sand ?en l>rew their swords and -put tJieui vp Norwich, Conn, is the proud posses sor of a citizen, one Col.

J i T he anneal Encampment of the farm era is in fail bhrst at Spartaaburg, as I Tee go to press. Oa Tiie>day Senators ! Vcerhcss and Butler were in attesd- i ance, the farmer making a ringing ad-j dress which was warmly received by the large crowd preheat. A grand bau- i quet waa tendered the distioguir-hed visitors last night. To-day Senator . j?ut?er ppcals3 on rr.?e tariff, and a .spieu did pyrotechnic cl?.-p?aj is promised for this evening. To day is cou?idered the * Uig day'' of the eucairpoient. We H*c ? > rem irk that if it is as warm up there as it is here, waterworks are more in order than fireworks. It is stated by the correspondents that the encampment this year is* in every reaped an improvement over last year's. _' the agony ovbb* The State Democratic caavasser? fin ished up their work at KraekvrFle last Monday. It may have been a wise policy to pursue to pat the candidates "-for* State offices in tbsrpositions in which they found themselves from Hodge's to Barn well, but we have our doubts. It ;is a fact that everywhece more atten tion was paid Tillmaa "than -any other speaker, except, perhaps, Col. Earle at this place, whew coolness, courage and skill tamed the tables on Tillman. This excepted, the small and nnenthu siastie assemblages that greeted rtbe distinguished speakers, were tnore in terested in the spats between %?r.- Gon ; sales and Mr. Tillman than in tbe speeches of the candidates. j\Jt. Yer ner related some racy an/edotes which tickled the crowds a?d proeared him an attentive hearing, *Fhe 'Governor was heavily handicapped in various ways, and Mr. ftfauidm's soiatica preveuted bis froca feeling-much of an iaterest in anything except that. Sut k^-over tfflast. The"Statehas beeu 'traversed 'from the mountains to the eecboard, and about five or flix thousand out -of *tbe million aud more ipseple 'in ihe State, have seen and 'heard out "State canvassers. -We hope all parties aTe satisfied.

Two years from this will be an "off" year in national politics. 'Perhaps the seeds sown by Beu this year -will boar some fratt by that time. BADLY MIX?bT" That Moultrieville electron last week is one of the most mrsed affairs in his tory. Crouch and Foster were the op posing- candidates for Mayor. The Crouch party said they were in favor of welcoming everybody and everything to-'j Moultrieville that by any possibility eould benefit tbe town, and alleged that the Foster party were obstructionists and -wished to welcome nobody and nothing .into tbe sacred precincts of the seagirt-isle. The Foster party charged the Croceh , party in identical terms, and virtually-said, **You are another !*' J?etween such crimination and recrim ination, it is dificuit to ascertain the exact facts. The Foster .party finally triumphed in the elcctioc, and claim everything, alleging tbat they are and will be the saviours of Sullivan VIsle, and tbe benefactors-? of thehumaa race. We add oer-siccere hope that it may be so, and that Moultrieville may-soon be joined -to the o-aialaad by a bridge : which no tide can cover and no storm j sweep* away. Tiren with their Soaview Railway MoUltrisviUkas -will be ia a position to compete with Coney Island ers in seaside attractions, and will also bave a way of escape ^ h en an ecuiooc- ; rial of nnusaal dimensions comes boom ing along. We regret to sec. that eer>friends at j SuuKDcrvilie have -gone to quarreling j over the site ef their proposed $50,000 hotel. 'If begins to look now as-if tbe hotel project might prove a failure, though it was begun with such a prom- . ise of success, and seemed to have en listed the hearts aud pooketa ef the people in the plan. As the News and Courier points ou?, Summerville is one of the only?:twe places mentioned by Dr. Page-the emi nent specialist of.Mew York, as among a O those to whieh consumptive .patienie i should be taken. 'It is a "low dry alti tude in a pioe wood region" where* the "air is charged with derivatives of tur pentine.'* In face of this fact iit - seems-a great pity t'uat the people of -Summerville should have disagreed as to the exact site of their hotel. The-siaio thins.-is to.get the-hott?. Che-site is plainly a subordinate consideration. -We sup pose it is the same old 6tory of some body with an ase to grind aod the dis appointment incurred ia missing his opportunity, that 'has brought about this unfortunate ecjuabtb. It shows! how necessary it is that cren should sink their individual preferences and profits, in order to acceoplisb anything j requiring united-action. We trust that j thiswiil yet he <2oue. (Frcm our Regtr?ar Corresj>;i:.dent,) WASHINGTON XETTER. VVa?er*yro>;, t>. C, At:?. 3, 3 888. The''President returned from his well earned four lizj vacation trip in ample ; time to sign the y>\ul resolution extend:- ! ing the old appropriation bills T>r thirty j days longer, U:us disappointing the republicans very much as they rrere all ready to raise s- cf7 of neglect ??' : public ; duties. That is ruic accusation th3t no : one can truthfully make against Mr. ' ;Cleveland. It is doubtful whether this ; country cv-er had a ?President that at- ' tended as closely to his daties-ss'Cleve land, we have cc:iai;;iy n-jl Lai one since'Lincoln. Senator Kock has ?iv:n notice that he wit! in the future object to unani mous consent bring given for the pas- j sage of any bill. He believes in ! taking the bills as they stand upon the calendar, and bringing them up in the Fegalar w.ty. i It is now said that the repoli tca-na of the Senate will not have their substi tute for the Mills biii ready before the j 20th inst.. if they do then. It is fur ther sai'l that rh?y do not propose to at tempt to pas? a bill at/fca-is session, but will only repe.rt it, w aa to give thero a chance to gain votes thU fall, byrem ising to amend it before it is passed, to ; suit anybody whose vote c ui be had The slow 2L?? deliberate manner in whicb the Senate committee is aotiag, has gamed many believers for the re port that no attempt will be maile to pass the bill. Commissioner Colman will probably in abh?rt time be Secretary ^Colman. The House bill making the Agricultu ral department-a-t* e-xee?teve department has been favorably reported to the Sen ate, and as there is prscrieally no oppo sition to it,* now that the clause trans ferring to-the Agriculiural Department the weather bureau, has been stricken out, its early passage is expected. ?ne of the President's callers this week was a boy aged six, named Grov - er Cleveland Washington. Representative Mills endeavcred to obtain unanimous cousent of the House to- have August .7 assigned for the con sideration of bills from the labor com mittee, with t?e exception of the Coq^l vict Labor b&I, but there was objection. A bill has been reported to the Sen ate to grve the Richmond, <Va. and the Augosta, Ga , expositions, the surplus from the appropriation made for the *)hio Valley Centennial. The Senate has agreed to the resolu tion for the appointment of a committee1 of seven, .to investigate ocr 'trade re lations with'Caoaxi-e. The Senate bill appropriating $30,-. 000 for the erection of an equestrian statue to Gen.'Sachar? Taylor in this city, has been favorably reported to the -iiouse. -Representative 'Byetnvtif -Indiana, says the ^Senate will not pass a tariff bill a?d that while they may be sfcle to agree in committee-to the extent of're portiag?.measure that will ^please the: most of the republican Senators, it is impossible to please them all, apt? no' bill can be -passed without:the "-votes of them all. Mrs. Cleveland and'b?? mother -are at home again. The House committee cn mannfac-^ tures, in theh^prelioiinary report ea'the trust investigations, say that the trusts have been organized carefully, so as to avoid the law against conspiracy. " It is generally understood that the Kiver and Harbor bill will 'be signed by the President. Jimmy Blaine threatens to over shadow Benny Harrison entirety. Chief Justice Fuller has leased an elegant resideEce in this city for a long term of years, which he will occupy in September. Representative McKinley "has accept ed an invitation to deliver an address before the Chatauqua Society of Atlan ta, Ga., sometime during this month. The "Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, which has been passed by the Senate, has had so many amendments tacked on since it ;passed the "Rouse, that when tt: gets back'fo that'body'it w?il be hardly pecognixable. Representative @utwaiters bill for the settlement of the 'Government's cla-inrs' against the TJirion Pacific ?lailroad, has been favorably reported to "the* Senate. Daring the temporary absence of Speaker Carlisle, Mr. McMillan, of Ten nessee, has been chosen Speaker "pro tern. The Pan Presbyterian Council met^n London on the 4th July. Lord Cairns is pending. The statistics represent 4.000.000 communicants and 20,000, 009 adherents. The report says : "Sixty thousand communicants had been gathered into the Presbyterian Ghnrch from heathenism, and over five Landred ministers had been sent to preach the Gospel to the heathen." The report from the American branch was verj* favorable. It was represent ed as never more prosperous or aggres-. sive,-freer- from unbelief and heresy, or more -spiritual than to-day, because it was never more alive to missionary effort. mm am August Meteors The nights from the 8th to the 12th inst., will be enlivened by the -'display of meteors -which are sure -to descend throtigh the at mosphere re gv<aler or less numbers. The i meteors, as is well known, come from ibe great meteoric zone whose perihelion is on the earth's orbit and whose aphelion extends-be yond Neptune, the mast di?tftat -planet of the soiar system. The earth about the J-C-ih plunges through thezone. 'The meteors are set oo;"Sre by the concession of the earth's atmosphere and descend in the'form of shoot ing stars. The radiant point of the August meteors is in the constellation of Perseus, and they are. therefore called Persic's. tPerseos rises on the 10tb . in the "Sortheast abont 9 o'clock, and observers who watch the sky in that direction will be rewarded by the sight of several hundred meteors, ae the bcurs of the night pass on. Many of them will be brilliant and as large a3 stars of the first mag nitude,'and many ?cf them-?will leave trails of-luminous vapor lasting several seconds. If you have lost your pockelbook, you will listen to any one who ran tell you bow to get it back. If you have lost your health, ? which is more precious,?listen to-os.
