Morgan, of Bat ton county, was nominated tor Con- gress by the Twelfth congressional convention, held at. Nevada, last. Thursday evening. Charley Morgan is a man ot fine ability, a good speak- er, a courteous, sociable gentleman and the posssssor of great common sense. He is no novice at law mak- ing. having already served two terms in Congress. In 1874 he run on the Democratic ticket in a Republican district and was elected by a large majonty. He was reelected in 1876, but was defeated in the con- vention of ’78 by Waddill, who was renominated in ’80 and was de- feated by Hazeltine, the present in- cumbent. While in Congress Charley Morgan proved himself the friend ot the laboring classes and opposed to monopolies; ever upholding the rights of his constituents, laboring assidiously in their behalf. While we would have preferred the nomi- | nation of our own brilhantAbernathy, we think the convention has made a most excellent and distinguished choice, and one in which we heartily concur. The indeed mantle has fallen on worthy shoulders, and pre- sages a glorious victory tor the Dem- ocrats of the Twelfth district at the coming election. We haye no hesi- tancy im saying that Charley Morgan wilt poll a larger vote than any other «an we could run, and our majority is not so large that we can run any unnecessary risks by putting a weak man on our ticket. He is a mau who will fight to the bitter end this pres- | ent power, and break the giant grip which, for twenty vears, has been! grinding the laboring classes and} honest voters to the earth. Let us; alt rally around that banner and let the battle cry be “Charley Morgan | and Victory.’’ : | An attempt was made to wreck | an excursion train near Alleguippi, } Pa., last Fnday, by laying a large | beam across the track. The ob-/ struction was discovered in time to | stop the train, otherwise it would | have been thrown down an embank- | ment A distance ot forty feet, and, with the precipitation there would} have been terrible loss of tife.

They returned | living two miles and one-half north- | ache, habitual constipation, torpid liver, to their homes with faith shaken am human nature and feeling they had. been badly treated. . While the Congressional conven- tiun was in session on the sixteenth inst. at Sedalia, word was brought the chair that the building in which the convention room was situated was in danger et falling down. Mr. Anthony arose and an- nounced the fact and requested the immense crowd to proceed quietly and in an orderly manner from the room, and proceed to Smith’s Hall, where the convention would im- mediately reassemble and proceed with the business. Judge Lacy ad monished them to proceed with coolness and not let a stampede oc- | cur, and it was owing in a great measure to his encouraging words and excellent example that no one | was hurt. or We are informed by parties pres- ent that Hon. Jno. W. Abernathy, in withdrawing his name from before | the convention at Nevada last week, made a very able and logical speech, one worthy of special mention. By his broad and liberal views he gained many friends among those who heard him. lessness of holding the convention together any longer; that individual interests were subservient to party good, and he would heartily concur in any choice made by the conven- tion. The Nevada Ledger, a patent radical sheet, spits out its venom at ove our most worthy and respecti- ble citizens, Hon. John .B. New- berry, because that gentleman found it necessary to teach the httle fel- low his place at the convention. ‘Senator Newberry-is too well known in this section and throughout the State to need yindication from us and abuse. coming from such a source will not hurt any one. The ladies ot Nevada presented the delegates to the convention each with a button-hole boquet and a large one to the-chairman, at the Saturdav night session. The chair, in behalf of the convention, acknowledged tie | receipt of the Nowers in ahappy littie speech in which he said they came as an omen of victory for the gallant standard bearer to be named by that convention. Two Georgia women, both being | evamored with a young man, +greed to settle the matter in the prize ring.

He was very indignant and con- | siderably puzzled, but, atter thinking the matter over for a while, he said | to a Lrother officer: | “Say, ve struck it!

If that ain’t selfishness then I'd like to know whatis!’’ A $20,000 Hanl. ; Chicago, Aug. 14.—The Morn- ing News Kewanee, IIl., special says: This afternoon two men called at the First National Bank of this city, and asked permission to leave a satchel for a short time. About 6 o’clock, while cashier Pratt and his lady assistant Miss Palmer, were cashing up, the men knocked on the door and asked for the satch- el. Miss Palmer opened the door, when one ot the men grabbed her by the neck and kicked her nearly in- sensible. The other man rushed by her towards the vault, near which Pratt was standing, and struck him on the head with a revolver, knock- ing him senscless, Pratt and Miss Palmer were then forced into the vault, when the men secured about | | $20,000, of which $6,000 was in ' gold, and walked out of town. Pratt and Miss Paliner, aiter work- jing over an hour, succeeded in | breaking the lock and released them- | | selves. Both were badly injured. | Parties are scourmg the country in }every direction.

J., on Sunday of Mrs. Mary Smith, the wife of Henry Smith, well-known butche: engaged in bu ness in Bordentown. Inorder to save the life of the mother the operation of embryotomy was performed, and the ' monstrosity only I'ved a few hours after being brought into the world. | So wonderful and perfect 1s its for- | mation that Dr. Dye, one of the at- tending physicians, has had_ the double babe preserved in alcohol for by physicians. Mrs. Smith is a healthy woman of 24 or 25 years. She 1s already the mother of twins, which were born two years ago unattended by any unusual cir- cumstances. The birth on Sunday | last took place in Greenville, about three miles from Bordentown, at the house of Mrs. Smith’s mother, Mr: Van Blunt, and was attended by Db Young, of Borcentown, and Dr. Nye, of Crosswicks. There was nothing apparently in the physical condition otf Mrs. Smith previous to that she was about to become the mother of any other than a natural child. Dr. Dye was called in first, but certain indi- | cations pointed out the necessity of calling another physician in consul- tation. Dr. Young was summoned, and seven hours atter his arrival the monstrosity was born. An exami- nation showed that it was even a more wonderlul being than the famous Simese twins. The heads, arms and legs were separate and distinct. A fleshy ligament extend- ing trom below the shoulder blades down the sides, covering almost ene- half of each abdomen, made the bodies appear almost like one. There was no malformation in the individual bodies except where the connection was made. Each infant, to speak of them us two, was naturally proportioned and of normal size. The weight of each was seven pounds and the sex female. It was found t the connecting band of i fl was iilled with arteries and veins, and that the lite of one was dependent upon that of the other. Whether there existed two sets ot ribs on the side where the bodies joined it was impossible to determine without an autopsy, but trom all external appearances it seemed that there were two sets of mbs that were only partially developed The lungs were separate, but it could not be ascertained whether there were two hearts or not. The monstrosity pos- sessed two backbones, two stomachs and two sets of livers, while the pievis seemed to be joined at its anterior portions. Taken altogether, there was such an intimate relation | erally escorted te the water by an} j armed guard, in order tokeep them | | fromrunning away. An exception | jtothe usual custom was recently | | made at Frankfort, Ky., in the case | ot about thirty inmates of the peni- | i tentiary, who had beea led by the | exhortatiors of Evangehst Barnes to i see the error of their way and to re- | j pent. These convicts rode in wagons | to the river, the guards accompany- | ing them with joaded rifles, and | ready to peur a volley of cold lead | into any believer who should take a | notion either to swim away or to run. The immersion was performed in safety, and in as decorous a manner as was consistent with the extra- | ordinary circumstances. The bap- j tized bretheren were duly returned jto their places within the prison | walls, and the penitentiary echoed | with the sounds of praise, as did the ‘Jail at Philippi, where Paul and Silas | sang hymns at night eighteen centu- i ries ago. | The Colored Voters of Georgia. i To the editorot The New York | Sun—Sir: Allow meto inform our North’n friends that the purpose of the stand we have taken against the white | Republicans of Georgia, known as } | the Syndicate, is to break up the | gang.

It was regretted by the physicians that the wonderfulinfant had to be de- ' stroyed, but the mother’s life was at stake, and it was absolutely neces- sary to crush one of the skulls in or- der to save the mother’s life.

His death will be regretted in every } section of the land. Hisdisease was cancer of the tongue, been suffering agonies tora year.
