Sprinufield, Ohio, Aug. 17. The experience of a young married couple in Hicksville, Ohio, a small town in te, reads more like the crea tion from the brain of some of the writers in the comic papers than a sober reality. G. L. Rider and Miss Hattie New comb, living near Hicksville, were married the night before last. The ceremony had been performed and the guests were just about to do -justice to the wedding supper when fifteen hungry and villainous looking tramps put in an appearance and held up the house as completely as any stage robbers in the far West could have done it. First, the tramps yelled: "Hands up!" and proceeded to search the guests for money and valuables, and as none of the guests had thought of coming armed they were com pletely at the mercy of the tramps. Having obtained all the guests' be longings, the tramps then proceeded to drive them into a milk house, in front of which they established a guard. They then sat down and ate up the entire wedding supper to the last crumb. Among the other things taken from the wedding party was the groom's coat, in the pocket of which was the marriage license. Three of the tramps were afterward arrested. Lord Russell Arrives. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Nbw Yobk, Aug. 16. Lord Chief Justice Russell arrived today on . the Umbria.

' " . , CURSED HER HUSBAND. OUle Clouse .Leaves the City After some Difficulty With her Husband. Ollie Clouse, a rather good looking woman in brown dress and a red flower garden of a bonnet, created a deal of excitement by talking bois terously and cursing her husband, a painter by trade, who was attempt ing to prevent her departure, at the depot this morning. The trouble at the depot started with the crowing of chickens this morning, when Mrs. Clouse, en raged with her husband, sent her trunk to the depot. Soon ufter, the husband sent a messenger and re moved the baggage, .while the wife stood by and cuased. She then res cued the trunk in the absence of her husband and had it checked to Dur ham. As soDn as Mr. Clouse discovered that his wife had rescued the trunk, hostilities were renewed. The husband hastened to the de pot and upon sight of his wife made a rush and attempted to take her watch. The woman's piercing screams rang through the depot and attracted the attention of the crowd. Officer Upchurch seperated tbem as they were engaged in tustle over the watch. In confiding her-woes with, Mollie, waitress, the woman became so bois terous that she was warned by a policeman, who afterwards also per suaded the husband to leave the depot. The woman bought a ticket to Durham, but at that place purchased a ticket to Danville and nau trie trunk re-checked, this, as she told the crowd, to "throw her husband off the track. " At Durham she was joined by a little girl, for whom she also bought a ticket. It was said at the depot in Raleigh, however, that the child remained with the hus band. The couple are well known in Raleigh to frequenters of magis trates' and mayor's courts, appear ing there frequently in cases arising from domestic "spats." MR. BRYAN'S PLANS. Will Take a Kcst and prepare UN l etter of Acceptance. A New York special to the Wash ington Times says: "Mr. Bryan is able to announce definitely his plans for the next few weeks. The decision arrived at last night that he should take a rest at some quiet resort to recuperate from the effects of the severe strain imposed by his tour from Lincoln to New York, and to give him the. oppor tunity to write his formal letter of acceptance, set Mr. and Mrs. Bryan to thinking about a suitable place, and it was finally decided to accept an invitation ' tendered some time ago to visit Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Per rine, at their home, Upper Red Hook in Duchess county, N. Y. A telegram was sent Mr. and Mrs. Perrine, and when the answer was received this afternoon, saying that the visit would be agreeable at this time, Mr. Bryan announced his pro gram. Mrs. Perrine was a teacher at the female academy in Jacksonville, III., while Mrs. Bryan was a pupil there. Mr. Br van also knows her well, as he was a student at the same time at Jacksonville College. They expect to be with the Per- rines a week or ten days, and on the conclusion of the visit they will start West. Mr. Bryan said he expected to stop at several places on his Wes tern journey, among them Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland. He was not prepared to give the dates, but it is known that he will be in Buffalo, August 27 and in Erie on the 20th. At the latter place he "will ad dress the Democratic Clubs of Pennsylvania. He will reach Lin coln about September 1, and proba bly receive the notification commit tee of the National Silver party at that time. Beyond the information contained in this statement Mr. Bryan had nothing to say. With re ference to Ms physical condition he told a United Associated Press representative, with a smile, that while he felt that he had not reached the end of his physical strength and power he felt it was necessary to have as much rest and quiet as pos sible while engaged in the composi tion of bis letter of acceptance. - Mr. Bryan will not make any speeches, according to present in tentions, on his trip to Upper Red Hook. He said his speaking pro gram had not been arranged, but that he might apeak in New York again before " the election. Mr, Bryan's voice is still husky, but he looks well and strong. The decision to proceed' West im mediately after the visit to Upper Red Hook is understood to mean an entire abandonment of the contem plated visit to Mr. Sewall at Hath, Me. Whether Mr. Brayau will visit New England during the campaign is doubtful, but it is said that his personal inclinations are toward a New England campaign. WAIVED EXAMINATION. Henry Christmas Bound Over to tho Next Term of Superior Court. The case against Henry Christ inas, who is charged with shooting a pistol at a crowd of boys and men near Pullen Park, came up before Mayor Russ today. The Mayor's office was tilled with people who came to hear the testimony of the witnesses, but therein they were disappointed, as the defendant waiv ed examination until the next crimi nal term of Wake Superior court. The counsel for the State made a motion to increase Christmas' bond, but this was denied by Mayor Russ, who bound Christinas over to court in the sum of $100. The witnesses were reoognizdd to appear at court in $25 bonds. Counsel for the defence sought to reduce tlio number of witnesses in order to make the costs as low as possible in Superior Court. Such a galaxy of counsel as tilled the bar in the Mayor's office has not been seen iu one ease in some time. The attorneys for the defense were C. M. Busbee, l' H. liusbee. Col. Argo, W. H. Snow, Ex-Judge Mc Rac, J. C. L. Harris, K. A. Johnson and D. P. Lane. The Slate was represented by Armistcd Jonesand Col. Thos. Dev ereux. HOKE SMITH'S REASONS. Why liemocrats Should Vote for the Chi cago Nominees. A special from Augusta, (in., says: Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, replying to an invitation to attend a Bryan Sewall ratification meeting at Augusta, after express ing regret that he cannot be present, says: "To opinions which I then ex pressed on the financial question I still adhere, but I also had occasion to say that when the national Demo cratic convention had named candi dates for President and Vice Presi dent, no matter what might be the action of the convention on the finan cial question, all democrats should support the nominees. This propo sition I then believed to be cor rect, and I am prepared to sustain it with equal sincerity now. The Democratic party does not confine its platform to a single issue, nor will its power to serve the people cease with tho solution of that issue. It stauds for just taxation; for the suppression of monopolies and trusts; for the government according to the constipble of the land. With us in Georgia it also stands for honesty and capacity in the management of our State and county affairs; for the defense of property, home and per son. The Democrat who fails to vote for national Demoera'-'c ticket strikes a blow at Democratic State organiza tion. I urge each Denioerat .to vote fjr Bryan and Sewall. even though he may in no wise have participated in the selection of dele gates to the Chicago convention. I can scarcely feel that it is necessary to urge supportfromthoseGeorgiatis who took part in the selection of delegates. For myself, I consider the action, when delegates were being chosen, fully committed me to support the nominees. I regret that I cannot be with you at the ratifica tion meeting, but I shall be in Geor gia later on in the campaign and will endeavor to aid as much as possible toward Democratic success." Lodge Visitation. On tomorrow evening Palula Idge at Cary will pay a fraternal visit to Capitol Lodge No. 147 I. O. O. F. of this city and take part in the initia tory degree.'

Lancaster, Penn., Aug. 17.

STKEET CAE MIX UP Horse and Wagon Caught hy a Car and Drugged AlongHorse Injured. What came near beinganothar bad street accident was narrowly avoid ed this afternoon near the corner of Davie and Salisbury street . Henry Johnson, colored, of Holly Springs township Was driving a one horse wagon up Davie street just as a street car turned from Fayette- ville street. The countryman jumped out of his wagon and seized the bridle at the horse's head, as soon as the street car hove in sight. The horse became frightened and began to back, placing the wagon on the track as well as himself partially. The street car never stopped but struck the horse on the rump and overturned the wagon, after drag ging them several feet. The driver was not h u rt. The horse was bruised , and was bleeding in one or two places, where the car struck him. It is stated by an eye witness of the accident that the motorman saw the countryman jump out of the wagon to hold his horse, but that no effort was made to stop the car. Another witness says that the horse did not show signs of fright until the street car was upon him. There is a city ordinance, providing that a motorman shall stop his car as soon as a uorse snows trignt. it should be enforced by all means. AUGUST CROP REPORT. -'lgures Showing how Much the Crops have Deteriorated l ately. The August crop report, as sum- arized by the Agricultural Depart ment is now out. The July report showed much damage to crops from excessive and continuous rains. The reports for this month show just the opposite climatic conditions. Ex cessive dryness and intense heat have caused a good deal of appre hension among the farmers, together with leasing the prospects gener ally, while in some localities the drought was extreme. The general averages given below, represent a considerable decrease in the condi tions over last report. While the damage has been considerable, with favorable weather as has been the case since the August returns came in the real conditions may improve from now on. The present condition of corn is reported at 89 2-3. This shows a shortage of about 10 points less than last month, which was 99. The prospect for 1895, same month, was 93. The prospect for the cotton crop is figured this month at 90 4-5. Last, month it was reported at 99. For '95 general conditions were reported at 74. As many reports reached the department before the full effects of the dry season became known, it is believed that the present condi tion is several points higher than the facts would now indicate. Tobacco is also short, present con ditions being 851, as against 91 for last month. It is about the same as in 1895, which was 86 for the month of August There cannot possibly be any future figures that will show a better condition of this crop. The condition of fail planting of Irish potatoes is reported at 841. This is about the same figures as re ported last year for the same month. Apples are 35, peaches 32, grapes A FIXE yfYICE. The Southern s Lxcencnt New SK-r:mLr Line on Chesapeake Hay. There is no more pleasant expe rience, especially at this season of the year, if you are going north, than to make the trip over the Hay line, and the Southern Railway service over that route, which was recently inaugurated, affords a thoroughly delightful journey. The Chattanooga and Norfolk special makes connec tion at Norfolk with the new South ern Bay line boats, the Atlanta and theCharlottee, plying between Nor folk and Baltimore, and passengers who leave Raleigh on this train at 11:45 a. m. find themselves in Balti more at 7 o'clock thcfollowingmorn- fng, and reach New York at 12 o'clock by one of the Baltimore and Ohio Royal Blue, fast ffyers! Pas sengers on the Southern's Bay boats are struck by the elegance and comfort of the boa'.s, the sumptuous fare served on the tables, and most of all by the obliging and courteous attention shown to passengers by the officers. This is in refreshing contrast to the indifferent demeanor which often characterizes steamboat officers. On another boat the other day we saw the passengers somewhat startled by a colored deck hand coming out on deck and bellowing at the passengers to go up to the purser's office and hand over their tickets. The passengers did not, however, recover sufficiently from ths shock to face the high and mighty purser and that individual finally came around himself and collected tin- tickets. On the Southern s boat, the Char lotte, on the Bay, C'apt. J. T Rig- gans is the gentlemanly and obliging purser and it is a pleasure to travel with such an officer, ('apt. J no. S. Bennett is Captain of the boat and Mr. P. G. Day, Jr., is the clever baggage master. These gentlemen are always on the alert to do every thing they can for the pleasure and convenience of the passengers, and it is such courteous conduct on tin part of the officers that is obliged to make the line popular with the traveling public. Thesupperswhich are served on these boats we do not believe can be surpassed any where and the service throughout is such as to reflect the highest credit upon the management of the Southern Railway. It holds its own with any which has ever been afforded tin public over Chesapeake Bay and has no rival to fear. The new line has found favor with the traveling pub licand isexceedingl v well pat roni.cd. CAPTAIN GOSLIN DEAD. h'ditor of the Winston Kepuhlican hilleJ in Tailing from a Car, The shocking intelligent was re ceived here today of the death of Mr. J. W. Goslin, editor of the Win ston Republican, which occurred at Winston last evening. It seems that Mr. Goslin fell from a car while he was in the act of alighting and struck his head on the ground, fracturing his skull. Mr. Goslin lived only an hour or two af ter the accident. The news will be nceived with sadness over the entire State, for he was one of the most prominent Republicans in the State. The ex pressions of sorrow were general this morning when it was learned that he was dead. Mr. Goslin served as a Captain in the Confederate army, winning the distinction of being a gallant and brave soldier. He has been honored in many ways by his fellow citizens and at the time of his death was actively engaged in editing the organ of the Republican party in the State. Judge Russell received a telegram this morning announcing Mr. Gos lings death and inviting him to at tend the funeral which occurs to morrow morning in Winston at nine o'clock. Won by Mr. Vernon Whitaker. The Bingham School scholarship, given by Senator Butler in compcti tive examination, was awarded Sat urday. The examination was held here Saturday in the court house by Prof. John Graham. There were seven applicants in all, some of them being grown men. Young Vernon Whitaker, son ol Ex -J udge Whitaker was the success ful competitor for (he scholarship making an excellent average. The young fellow missed the scholarship offered through Congressman Strod by only a three-quarter fraction, but he was undaunted and went ahead next day and took another scholar ship. Vernon is abrightand apt boy. RUSSELL'S CAMPAIGN Iteginx Saturday in HendcrsonvlUc Will Advoeatc McKinley's Klectlon. Secretary Hyans, of the Republi can State Executive committee, is easting his eye about for headquar ters. It is his desire to secure a comfortable and centrally located cottage. Chairman Uolton. Mr. Hyans and Mr. Patterson, of the central committee, will likely be lo cated in Raleigh. His Fatness. Judge Daniel L. Russell, is still anchored at the Park. He will likely remain here until the latter part of the week, when he leaves for the western part of the State to formally open his campaign. J udge Russell will make his first speech in Henderson ville Saturday. He will speak at other points in the extreme west before returning. Judge Russell was asked if he would speak in support of McKinley and Hohart in this campaign. His reply was that he would advocate the election of McKinley from every stump. TODAY'S MARKETS.

Kditor Ramsey says editorially : ( ,"Tho personnel of the ticket nomi nated is good. It is a strong ticket, and the platform is not bad. But we don't know what is behind it, before it nor around it. The whole thing is enveloped in mystery. "We feel lake telling an old story to illustrate our position. Once upon a time a man owned a steer. He ed to use a team one day, and hitch ed himself to a wagon alongside of the steer. The steer becaiW". fright ened and ran away. As the curious team was passing down the road at a 2 04 gait a man cried out tothe man yoked with the steer: "Where arc you going?" "Don't ax ne," said the man, "ax the steer. " Of course the above yarn is as old as the hills. We are told that Capt. Noah used to kill time on rainy days by telling the man and steer story to his friends on that celebrated cruise in search of a patch of earth. But the application isjnew in this in stauce, and we repeat, "ax the steer. " It wouldn't take an obtuse mind long to see that Butler is the steer referred to. Local Liquor Dealers Lcav.
