PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. / rO& / The most / Cornplete ' Election of (,)TToA Wool ' *XD "El "air Un°erwear "OB e * / Panama, Oct. 15.—fitiatemala has been the scene of most shameful proceedings on the part of the populace. The people generally attend the meetings of Congress in large numbers, and assert the right to indulge in running comments on the debates, and the Speaker is powerless to preserve order. At a recent sitling one of the populace moved "that the portrait of the late. (ien. Karrio*bo removed from the walls of the House" amid yells and hootings. Stones were thrown and a free tight occurred the same night and next day the amusement was varied by the breaking of windows in the President's house anil other public buildings. The press apparently attach no importance to the violent displays of parly feeling. They approve of them as proofs of interest in political matters. The latest accounts are that (Guatemala is under martial law. Trade is very much depressed, owing to tlis unsettled state of nflairs. Have Me No Honest, I ml list rl oust Men Columbus, October 19.—This has been a clay of fear and trembling in political circles all over the State, the points of most interest being Franklin and'Hamilton counties. In Hamilton county it was learned that some three of the ballot boxes were over in Kentucky and the court could not proceed further without them, so that no definite results could be learned from that county. In the Montgomery- Preble district the official count was completed and showed 5<i plurality for Kemp, Republican. The official count in the Marietta district also showed the Republican Senator elected and the same result was learned for the Republican in the casus of a member each from Lucas and Hardin counties. The official canvass showed that the Democrats had both members from Stark county and the Republicans the Senator from that district, while the official canvass gives the Republicans Taylor and Kheppard from this(Franklin) county. The Republicans are, therefore, positive to-night of having 75 to the Democrats' 72 on joint.ballot, and this is on theassumption that Hamilton county will he counted with its four Senators and 10 Representatives for the Democrats which the IJepublieans refuse to concede. Certificates of election have been now issued to 17 Republican Senators ami 58 representative*. Foraker, Republican, received 17,(iSS plurality for Governor. Accusing His Wife of Infidelity. Semiahmoo, W. T., Oct. 2 1885.— Dear Spirit: Here in the extreme Northwest, we are still enjoying warm summer weather; have not yet had a suspicion of frost. From the open door I can look away across the bay, which shines like silver under the afternoon sun, to Point Robert, twelve miles distaut, where the boundary line between the United States and ISritish Columbia slices otl'enough land for a small farm, which is the most northwestern point in Uncle Sam's domain; It is a military rcservtion. I remember how skeptical I was, upon receiving a description by letter of the genial climate of Washington Territory; I knew it lay several hundred miles further north than Pa. and thought that after making due allowance for the ctlect of Pugot Sound, it would still be no warmer than our own State, but the explanation is simple : the Japan Current laves its shores, keeping the temperature comfortably cool in summer and mild in winter, with plenty of rain; thus giving us probably the linest fruit country on earth. The climate is also very healthful; consumption, catarrh ami kindred ailments are very rare here. Your correspondedt is now the proprietor of a "ranche"—farms here are all "ranches" and would say to all seeking homes in the west, that we have still plenty of land unoccupied, hut the choisest is rapidly being taken. I will cheerfully correspond with any one having serious intentions of coming west and give him any information about tlie country that lean. This is bound to be a great country ; we have in l'uget Sound, the very best facilities for transportation ; we have great agricultural resources ; immense forests; and valuble minerals. With all these advantages, and the wonderful climate, this country needs only to be better known in order to fill up rapidly with settlers. Hoping eventually to see some of your readers here, I remain Yours, J. F. G IUFF1N. Flood Iiock is Stiil Sinking, Philadelphia Tuin^. A now gang of counterfeiters was raid oil in Clarion county on Monday and six put of eleven captured. The unsettled or wilderness portions of Clarion. Jellerson and Forest counties have been for years a favorite rendezvous for counterfeiters, owing to the dillicully of tracing and capturing these offenders in a sparsely settled country. Several prominent counterfeiters captured in this section are now serving out sentences in prisou. The discovery of a new gang indicates that the old offenders, who have been compelled to retire from the business, have left behind them a numerous progeny. The settling up of this district by honest, industrious men who are willing to get a living by the sweat of their bnnvs will do more to destroy ihe counterfeiting business than all other agencies combined. A Cut Alarms the (iursfs of it Iturniner Hotel. Atlanta, Oct. 11.—At midnight last night the inmates of the .National Motel were awakened by the incessant caterwauling of a cat. and found their rooms filled with smoke, li was thus discovered that the hotel was on lire, and measures were taken to stay the "allies. One of the lady guests has placed a gold band on the cat's neck. lli:NTi\<ii>o\, Oct. 14.—Social circles here were agitntcul to-day on learning that J. A. Clifton, proprietor of the Morrison House and travelling salesman for .Taiiney & Andrews, wholesale grocers, had made information against one of his hoarders, H. ]!. Machesnev, agent of the Manhattan Life Ipsurance Company, charging him with long-continued intimacy with Mrs. Clifton. It is said that Mr. Clifton, who is often absent from home tor weeks on his commercial trips, has long suspected his wife's infidelity, and that yesterday ho lay in wait to test his suspicions and surprised the guilty couple together. Clifton is a man of line appearance and irreproachable character, while Machesnev is plain looking and has been in several business dillicultios. Clifton is about years of age, and has three children. He will prosecute Machesnev. \  \  \  \ OS Flood Rock continues to sink. The daily rate is variable, but the sinking aggregates in many places four or five feet. The Government diver, Mr. W. L. Quiun, was under several hours yesterday, and examined three sides of the reef. On the north and south sides the rock is so shattered that it can be dredged with comparative ease. On the east and west sides the fragments arc larger, and some surface blasting will have to be done. The whole reef, so far as has been examined, is full of fissures, which follow the trend of the rock's grain. The north side of the nigger heads will probably be examined to-day, and as soon as possible dredgimg will begin. This work will doubtless be done by contract. Mr. Qulnn says the explosion was a completesucccess.

Dublin, Oct. 17.— In pursuance of the Government plan for the suppression of boycotting 200 respectible residents of Stradbally, County Oueene's, have been arrested. The Doublin Branch of the National League sent a lawyer to defend the prisoners, but the magistrate before whom they were brought convicted all of them and ordered them to find sureties for their good behavior. The defendants elected to go to prison rather than furnish bail. The magistrate hesitated to commit them and finally gave them a fortnight in which to consider the matter. — An orang-outang on exhibition in New York is so tame that lie i- allowed to walk about among the visitors.
