THE BUCKEYE CAMPAIGN ‘Views of a Despondent Democrat. HE THINKS MANY OF HIS PARTY WILL VOTE THE PROHIBITION TICKET. Some of the Ohlodemocrats who are in Wash- ington frankly admit that their party in the Buckeye state is not in the best trim for the coming fight at the polls, One of them who has been an active partisan for years, and who Is well informed with regard to the politics of his state, sald to a Stan reporter to-day: “Hoadly’s renomination was not a compliment to him, nor was ft intended assuch. His administra- tion has not been popular even with his own party. The last legislature was a disgrace to the party and tothe state, Votes were bought and sold, and its acts of omission and of com- mission ‘shamed the people. Now nobody else wanted to take the fleld and the task of defend- ing Hoadly’s administration and thelegisiature which served with it. The y concluded to let Mr. Hoadly defend his own administration. It was deemed right and proper that be should do so. Hence he was renominated, practically without opposition. I have heard aernio- rats of years standing say they intend to yote the prohibition ticket. What for? Why they ‘say they propose to teach the Germans”a “lesson,” Last year the Ger mans, who had found the democracy their best friends, and whohad voted with the arty on State issues for thelr own benefit deserted us. ‘There are democrats who would be glad to elect the prohibition ticket as. means of re- tallation upon the Germans, Ibelleve our folks will pay more attention to the legislative fight than to the state ticket. I expect tosee the state ticket sacrificed wherever votes for demo- cratic candidates for the legislature can be ained thereby. If we can get the legislature ‘hurman will be sent to the Senate unani- mously, and then we will have a leader in that body who can aid the democratic admlinistra- tion. But Ican tell you this much, it is {die at resent to speculate upon the outcome in Ohio. lobody can tell what the prohibition vote will be. It is well understood among the democrats that this is Sherman's fight and they know that means plenty of money ior the republicans. I expect tosee both parties concentrate efforts ‘upon the legislature and make the state ticket ‘a secondary consideration. ——— An African Conqueror. A _MAHOMMEDAN ARMY OF 100,000 MEN WAGING WAR AGAINST PAGANISM—THE CURIOUS STORY TOLD BY CONSUL LEWIS. United States Consul Lewis at Sierra Leone Africa, has sent a dispatch to the State de- partment, giving an account of an extraordl- nary movement among the Mohammedans ot the Nigritian regions, extending from Timbuc- too to the west coast, It appears that in 1880 a Mandingo named Samudu, of extraordinary Intelligence and energy, conceived the idea that he was called of God to wage a war for the suppression of paganism and the openinj the roads to the coust, which, in certain dis- tricts, have been for generations subject to ex cessive blackmail and to the plundering of vagabond tribes. During the last five years he has collected an army, consisting of foot and horse, of about 100,000 men. Mohammedan youth, wherever he goes, flock to his standard, anxic notonly to secure the reward in the after promised to those who fight for their zion, but to carry off the rich spoils of time which these expeditions that battle for the faith are sure to v Consul Lewis says that the army is divided etions, one of which is operat- into three ing In the regions of east Libera, and by. sup- pressing the disturbing elements, untettering trade and introducing a knowledge of religion and letters, is in one sense opening the way tor negro immigrants of intelligence and energy from America to push out from the Atrico- American republic to the healthy and fertile regions of the interior.

THE CONVENTION IN MANASSAS—AN INSTANCE SHOWING THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS, Correspondence of Tar EVENING STAR. MaNassas,Va., August 22, 1885. This village has been filled for several days with colored citizens attending the annual ses- sion of the colored Baptist association of Vire ginia, They come in on excursion trains, They ride in on every kind of quadrupeg and in every imaginable conveyance. While all is Jollity and good humor outside among the stands, booths and tents, the deliberations of the body itself are marked with a dignity and characterized by a deference to parliamentary law that would honor any assembly of their white brethren, ‘The address of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Rich- mond, secretary of the board of foreign this- sions of the colored Baptist church, was excel- lent, and informed his audience that they had sent and were supporting six missionaries in Africa. ‘They proposed to raise tour thousand dollars for foreign missions this year. That these colored men are making progress was shown by the hearty applause given to one ‘aged brother, who spoke as follows: “Brethren: Don’t none of yo! get off that old toolishness to yo" congregations “bout not knowin’ what yer Koln’ to preach "bout when yo’ goes into the Poolpit, I tell yo!, breth’rin, we must sweat and pray—yes, and study, too, before we can find acceptable words to tell the story of the cross to this generation.

THE YACHT THAT WILL RACE WITH THE GENESTA. ‘The Boston sloop-yacht Puritan won the third and last of the trial races yesterday that are to decide which is the fastest center-board sloop- yacht in Americaand the one best fitted to do battle with the English cutter Genesta in the early part of September. Of the three trial races, Puritan won the first in a strong breeze, Priscilla won the second In extremely light weather, and Puritan won the deciding one yesterday in a moderate breeze and smooth water. While it fs not actually decided that the Puritan {s the yacht that will be selected to de- fend the American cup, it is almost certain that she will be chosen at a meeting of the New York Yacht club to be held during this week.

A MARYLAND FARMER'S WIFE ASSAULTED AND HIS HOUSE ROBBED, Last Saturday Mr. Kline, an aged farmer, re siding near Benevola, Washington county,Md. left his home to visit his son, living ‘near Breathedville, with whom he intended to take the train the next morning for Washington Grove Camp. Mrs, Kline, who isalso advanced in years, remained at home, and about mid- night she was awakened by the nolse of some one walkiag in the room, and by the dim light ofa candle she distinguished two masked men. Attempting to rise from the bed, she was struck on the heud with a sand bag, and, by accident, the candle was extinguished. Upon, the candle being relighted, Mrs. Kline was cons fronted by the men, with drawn revolvers in their hands, who demanded what money was in the house, She directed the robbers to where $240 in cash was concealed, taking which they quickly left the pen Mrs. Kline failed to recognize the thieves, but the ression is that they reside in the neighborh and knew of the absence of Mr, Kline and the existence of the money in the house. Mrs. Kline, although con iderably prostrated by the occurrence, is gradually recovering her usual strength. Yes lerday afternoon the police arrested Edward Ludwig, Hiram Kline, George Kline, his son, of erstown; Harry Hill, who claims to be from Philadelphia, and a stranger who refused togive his name,on the charge of having as- saulted and robbed Mrs. Kline. Upon being searched $121 was found on Hill, $50 on Lude wig, and smaller sums on the rest. ‘The pris- oners Were comunitted toJail for a hearing. so Was the Body Preller's? Dr. E. H. Graham Dewey, of Boston, who was acquainted with Maxwell and Preller, the prin- cipals in the St. Louis tragedy, when they were in Boston, confirms to this extent the former's statement that the body found in the trunk was not Preller’s, but one which he had procured in Boston. He says that Maxwell, whom he describes asa crank on a medical subject, asked him to get a dead body tor him, but before he could do so Maxwell called again, sald that he had obtained a body, and asked ‘Dr. Dewey to go with him and see it. This the doctor declined to do. He says, further, that he never knew Maxwell to go by any other name. “You might say,” continued Dr. Dewey, “that I believe Maxwell has something that he is holding back Teception | you the body, by the city council and officials, and_ the mar- | appeai that will act in his favor and possibly clear hint, I see that he is perfectly cool and self-possessed at St.Louis.

ASt, Louis dispatch tothe New York Times says: One crank, who writes from New Orleans, and signs his name Louis Daubignick, speaks of Maxwell as an old friend, refers to an inter. view had with him at the Southern hotel, and says: tYou Ought, to understand the position tn which you have placed yourself.

At the start Wood- side took the lead, which he maintained up to the third lap, when Brooks shot ahead, —Wood- side again came to the front, making the mile in 8 min. 1sec. This feature was maintained throughout the race, Brooks forging ahead on a spurt and then failing bealnd, The Second mile was made in 6:02, Woodside ahead; the third in 9:07, the fourth In 12:08, the latter being made by Brooks, who spurted inagnificently in 2:58, which Is the best mile ever made in this city,’ On the 11th mile Brooks made a spurt o the last lap and took the lead, completing th eleven miles in 34:14 4-5, beating the America record ivr that distance."

From this "point to the last lap Woodside held the lead and finished the nine- teenth mile in 59:15, the American record ain being broken. Gn the last lap both men Were doing their best work, and Brocks who was behind did not seem to make much fn pression on the gap between his whee! and that of Woodside. The men glided around to the last turn, Woodside still leading. The specta- tors, who’ had been watching tc see if Brooks could make one of his brilliant dashes at the supreme moment of the race, felt that he was going to full. However, on the last turn, he Wwas Seon to creep up, then as the whicels, swept into the home streteh, Brooks was evidently drawing ahead. With backs bent to their Wheels, the men were putting Into their pedals all their ferce, but Brooks was slowly drawing ahead, and the spectators cheered as they wit nessed this exhibition of power after an ex- hausting contest. As the men passed the line, Brooks led by five feet, and the Judze announced that the time of the race was one hour two min- utes and twenty-one seconds, thus breaking the best previous American record by five minutes two seconds. .

Since the first ot July last there has been a great improvement made at the dog pound by M:. Einstein, The old wood pens in which the dogs were confined have all been torn out, the place cleaned and a gentle grade made on the ground floor and iron pens constructed ofheavy beams and wire six feet by eight feet and five feet hight. There are three of these pens with convenient opening so as to put the dogs in and take them out when wanted. The foor is of briek covered by the best Portland cement and with a six-inch square gutter or trough extend- ing through the three pens, with » constant flow of Potomue water running through all the time, giving all the water necessary. With the ald of agulta-percha hose these pens can be kept as Clean asa parlor, and no unpleasant smells can be detected anywhere about the premises, Mr, Einstein says there shail be no room for criticisms, us heretofore, about his und. Mr. Blatzheim did the iron work for the pens and they have been fitted with remarkable suc- cess, ‘The season for cutching dogs commenced on the 10th day of August, and during the in- terim in which no dogs have been caught there have been at the rate of twenty canines taken to the pound by their owners, who surrendered them, not desiring to keep them. ‘The appropriatfon was but $200 for this ser- vice, and its judicious expenditure has made agréat advance in the right direction, ——* MARRIAGE LICENSES. — Marriage licenses have been issued by the cierk of the court to Chas.
