The cases were continued until: August 412., The i affair ; bas caused much talk and some excitement m. Salisbury, and there Is considerable conjecture as to what became of the three men who swore out'jt'he indict ments.

COOKT Some Unaeouainted With That Gentle man Have Another Guest Coming." . Tuesday . afternoon - The Tribune published a rumor to tbe effect that a former Democratic office bolder would be .the Republican nominee for the office of Clerk of the Court. Some one evidently . not very well acquainted with Mr. Joo. M. Cook, and altogether -unfamiliar with bis past political rec ord and real popularity throughout this county, picked bim as the man the rumor referred to. - For tbe bene fit of a few such idle gnessers we win etate that in tbe first place Mr, Cook is a Democrat, a real live Democrat, and if any one doubts the fact as to his being a live Democrat as well as a most popular citixen, we respectful-, ly . refer them to the handsome ma jorities be rolled up on each occasioih he was a candidate for office. There are ." several - Republican : politicians whom Mr. Cook put in the "also ran" class, who can bear testimoney as to his being a live Democrat. It is hard ly reasonable that a man would vol untarily give up an office when elected on tfhe Democratic ticket simply; to 'have the empty honor of being a can didate for the same office on the Re publican ticket. ; . Frozen to Death As Cure For Heat' Frozen td death in mid-July, with the temperature hovering around 90 degrees, was the fate of a young man known only as Paolo at Florence." N. J- Monday. Paolo was employed at the Florence iron foundry and m tbe intense beat of the works last Satur day he was overcome. - Carried to his boarding bouse, a physician was called who, seeing that the man's condition was not serious, advised placing ice about bis head.- : The eager friends of the young man took tne advice too literally and placed large cakes of ice about his bead, bis neck and bis limbs. Becoming alarm ed oyer the man's condition, the neigh bors called -in JJr. Board, who discov ered that the man bad been dead some time. The . physician said that too much ice had actually (frozen the man. No one was held responsible for the ueath, due entirely to ignorance, and, as no relatives of the victim were known, has body was buried "in the mPoter's field. -"' The Congressional Nomine. Statesville Landmark. - The result of the Democratic con gressional convention in Statesville Friday was by no means unexpected. in fact there was a feeling, more w hbbs gaarai, i nai Mr. uougnion, navmg a strong, lead at the outset, would eventually! win; and it may also be said, without in any manner disparaging the other candidates, that there was a f eeiuur that be was probably the strongest candidate, uti- uar iuo pecuwar conuiuons easting in tbe district. In any event, the nomi nation of Mr. Doughton has given general satisf actionj not only in the district but throughout the State. This' feeling is not a half-hearted as sent to the will of a. majority of tbe convention but is sincere and - and loyal It is a most auspicious beein- ning of a campaign for the redemption or tne distnot. - In the Recorder's CourV ; : Son 'Moore,- a 14-yeaf-old colored boy was tided jn - the Recorder's court this morning : charged with larceny, : Moore was acused of steal ing a jug of vinegar out of the buggy of Mr. Ed.

Strange Epidemic of Babies Among Cattlt at Oxford, Pa. v , Nine ows bave been killed during Toe past week as tbe result of an epidemie of rabies which seems to be spreading over East Nottongbam township, Pa. Tbe township is great ly excited over tbe prevalence of the disease, and besides a large number of cows and horses, every dog in the neighborhood ia under strict quaran tine. ' 4 ... k ' r . . , . The disease is supposed to be due to a mad - dog wbieh pass through that community several weeks ago; but it is breaking out in places where no trace of the dog having been can be found.' The latest victim is a cow, belonging to Hampdon Asbby, which went mad .Tuesday, and bad to be shot to prevent ber doing serious damage to others. It was not gener ally supposed tbat the mad dog was within two miles of Uie Aehby farm. Others who bave lost oattln are Charles Carroll, Harvy Johnson, John oyivester, Miller Orey, Kirk Fulton ana Amos black. The strangs part of tbe outbreak is that dogs, thus far, seem to bave escaped. Manv ner. sons, bowever, insist that the species vj. iwita wmix wnicn ipne uog was affected is peculiarly fatal to cattle, and much less so to canines. Methodist Women Vote.
