Nkw York, Au*. 3. — Rumors hav* been current among the intimate friend* of the lamily of (Jen. Grant for several days to the effect that his daughter, Mi* Nellie Sartoris, was about to leave EnglDi ud and take up her permanent abode in New York. Home of the stories told state tbut Algernon 8. .Sartoris, her lord and master,'la not to accompany bis wife to thin country, bnt will remain abroad permanently to enjoy hi* clubs and bla race* very much in the same manner a* has been his haliit for several years. During the last illness of Geti. Grant there were unpleasant rumors afloat about the indilferenco with which Mrs. Sartoris was treated by her husband, and nono of these stories worn ever formally denied. Those best informed on tho existing state of affairs hint that Mrs. Batoris has at last wearied of this neglect, and, in spite o( the fact that she is almost ldo!i*od by her father-in-law, she has determined to spend her remaining years with bor own family. WluJAKsnuBO, Ky., Aug. 3.—Intelligence eomea from Manchester, Clay county, by a horseman, that a fierce fight occurred at the polls during the to ting Tuesday. The fight was participated in by a acorn or more of men, all having revolvers and bowio knives. Six men were killed outright nnd a nuinlmr badly wounded. Tbo dead men are; Jack HockoTj Dock White, John G. White, Dale Little, two unknown. The first four mon were prominent citizens of Manchester, nnd the uuknown were strangers from the country. Tbo greatest cxcltoment prevails there. There was no attempt on the part of officers to quoll the disturbance^ Lofrisviixc, Aug. 3.—The returns, which ore coming in slowly, indicate a falling off of 15(000 to 30,000 in tho Democratic majority. Knott carried tho state in 1883 by 233 7*,000 and Cleveland, in 1884, by 34,400. Buckner'i majority will not jjo over 25,000 and may fall consider, tbly under SO,COO, Jhief among the •ausos, according o the Democratic eadors, is Demo•ratic apathy. So ong have the London, Aug. 8.—The attempts of Gen. Boulanger's seconds to arrange a duel between their principal and M. Jules Ferry, have assumed phase* affording much amusement to disinterested persons. The bickerings of the representatlvsa of the ex-ministers lufvo gone far to confirm the opinion formed by many, that the affair would ultimately end in a fizzle, and the tactics employed appear to have been borrowed for the occasion from the devoteos ot the present day prize ring. Sympathy, however, is largely with Gea Bouianger, and the suspicion is rapidly gaining ground that M. Ferry will not fight unless he can be assured that the chances of his getting hurt will be reduced to A remote possibility. In fact, men who have given the matter any thought, and there is scorcoly one who has not, find it difficult to eliminate from the things to be considered the suggestion of cowardice accompanying the action of a man who goes out of his way to insult another and, when satisfaction is demanded of him on tho field of honor, insists upon limiting the liability of danger to himself to a single exchange of shots at twenty-fifo paces.

A Famous Old Lutheran Church Struck by Lightning. Ona intimate friend of Col Fred Grant is alleged to have said that Mrs. Sartoris is to come to New York ostensibly for a visit of i month or two, and that her stay here .is to be prolonged from week to week for an indefinite time. Reading, Fa., Aug. 3.—Tuesday night • terrific thunderstorm p assed oyer Strouchsburg, this county, and many fields and buildings were flooded. The historic Christ Lutheran church, about one mile from town, was struck by tho lightning and set on fire, and in a short time the baauXful church was in ruino, the Sunday school organ alone being saved. The loss to the corporation will be $90,000; insurance, $0,000. We know Just what we oan do, and so do our oustomera.

This proposition, coming from M. Ferry's representatives, wm promptly and Indignantly rejected by Count Dillon on behalf of Gen. Boulanger, and his action is applauded by men who previously believed that H. Ferry was justified in his strictures upon Gen. Boulanger, and denounced the latter'* impudence in resenting former's language in the maqper be choae as tending to vindicate his wounded honor. On the other hand, Gen. Boulanger's friends insist more strenuously than ever that nothing but the shedding of If. Ferry's blood will suffice to repair the injury he has inflicted i|pon France's moat conspicuous, if not her gifcatest, soldier. Tbo (hock broke all the telegraph wires in Guayaquil. The Nacion o( July 1 says: "Telegraphic communication with Ouaranda huviug been ro-ostaliliabed, we bavo received a which informs us the earthquake was itnrfully D severe there, ami that it has caused loss i.f life and done much damage."

Thoro has been no issue Leyond the dispute over the management of tho state finances, and in that the Republicans have of late been given the hot end of the poker. In consequence the Democrats, in the rural districts especially, have been over confident and have not gone to the polls. Even in Louisville out of 35,. (XX) registered only 11),000 votes wero cast The Republicans polled noarly their full vote. More attention was given bore to the local option vote than the state race, and consequently Ruckner was left with a pitiful 1,800 majority in order to pile np 11,000 against closing the saloons. Democrats carried "Yes, my sister Is corning to see us and will be hero mmo time this month. Rho does nut know any of the details yot.

British Fair Flajr When Irish Members Are Interested. Nobody doubts that in a'meeting without restrictions as to the number of shots to be exchanged, Gen. .Boulanger would kill M. Ferry if he posaibly could, but that isn't the kind of a duel the latter wants to light M.

For whisky and in the legislative races money was spent freely. For the state ticket hardly anything.

At Bardstown, Greensburg, LitchflsM, Cfnthiana, Henderson and a scors of other places the whisky question engaged much attention, and while the rote for the Prohibition state ticket was light, the Democratic ticket was forgotten. The speaker declined to interfere, saying that the Incident had ended with Mr. Dillon's denial of the chargo and refusing to notice the matter further. Count Dillon, who, it may be incidentally mentioned, is the managing director of the Commercial (Mackaj-Bennett) Cable company, is said to have reftfcrked to a friend alter his withdrawal from the conference of secoedt that a duel between the ex-premte and the ex-minister of war was yet  but if it should be fought according to the methods of safety insisted upon by II.
