The Independent Order of Good
Templars will have a grand fair, ba-
zaar and supper on the evenings of
the 21st and 22tl of this month. This
order is composed of many of our
leading citizens. That a great deal
of good has been accomplished
through the instrumentality of this
order no one will for a moment
doubt. The progress of the temper-
ance movement is something won-
deiful. In 1851 the order ot Good
Templars sprang up in central New
York. Profiting by the errors of the
past, and crystalizing the best fea-
tures of former organizations, it was
welcome for its systematic effort and
thorough discipline, and thousands
rapidly fell into its ranks. It held
its membership of 50,000 during the
war, and after its close people rapid-
ly gathered around this nucleus. In
1867 its membership was nearly a
quarter of a million, and a year
later it was a full half million. Since
that date it has spread over Great
Britain, the Isles of the Pacific, and
the continent of Euiope, and its
poineer flag is constantly being
planted in fresh fields. Its advan-
tages are cordially commended to
those who have regard for the social,
physical, moral or spiritual welfare
ot mankind.
We would suggest, as the fire-
man's ball comes off on the evening
designated for the Good Templar's
fair, that the Temperance folks
change the date.
Mayor's Court.
There were four cases before the
mayor Thursday morning, a case of
drunk and disorderly; two dollars
and costs was the verdict.
1
A case of disturbing the peace
was dismissed.
Tha other two cases, Barney Cun-
ningham and Henry Jackson, charg-
ed with fighting, were dismissed, as
it appeared from the testimony that
it was only a friendly little scuffle,
nothing more.
The mayor then, as a committing
magistrate of the pease, tried Wm.
Hanley charged with thelt. It ap-
pears that on the night ot January
13th, Hanley and two other men
came into Buckey's restaurant,
pjanley |lc|a a box of cigars under
his coat which he offered to sell to
Buckey. Buckey saw Libbe's name
on the box and concluded that they
were stolen. He bought one box in
order to get tangible proof against
the fellow, and asked him if he had
more. Hanley said he had another
box and went out, soon returning
with another box. Buckey told him
he had no more money and Ilanley
returned the dollar and took the box
back. Buckey notified Libbe and po-
liceman Morrell and Hanley was
promptly arrested. He was ordered
to give a bond of $100, and in de-
fault will be taken to Sherman jail.
He appears to be a hard case, and
was only two days ago released from
jail, having been convicted of va-
grancy.
The Orowthers.
The entertainment given last even-
ing at Dunn Hall, by Mr. B. F. and
Lottie Crowthers, was fairly atten-
ded. The audience was composed
of a large sprinkling of the intelli-
gent ladies and gentlemen of our
city.
We cannot judge of the entertain-
ment as a whole, having been pres-
ent for only a few moments. Mr.
Crowthers' impersonations reminded
us of the palmy days of Alf Bur-
nett, when that actor was without a
peer on the American stage in his
peculiar department of acting. Per-
haps the greatest compliment that
we could pay Mr. Crowthers, is to
say that with a little improvement,
he will be fully the equal of Burnett.
He has all the expression of Burnett,
and if lacking in any thing, it is the
stage effect which goes a long ways
towards the succass of an actor.
Mrs. Crowthers is a very fair sing-
er. We are judging the lady per-
haps, without due deliberation, hav-
ing heard her si ng only once. Take
it all in all, the entertainment was
well worthy of the patronage of our
citizens, and we say good evening
with the wish that we may hear
the Crowthers again. They are
artists, who if properly apprecia-
ted will win renown. We believe it
ii the intention of the lady and gen-
tleman to make a tour of the state.
BROWN BRUISED!
Two Would-Be Assassins Tackle
a Typo.
Two Shots—A Knockdown-
No Blood.
-But
The Herald of Thursday evening
contains a blood-curdling account of
the attempted assassination of P.
Sullivan Brown, an attache ot that
paper. We hardly know whether to
regard the narrative as a huge joke,
or a serious matter. Brown says that
he was knocked dow;i with a brick.
Mr. Brown being an officer in the
Good Templars Lodge, it will be a
question for that body to decide
whether or not some person threw a
brick at Brown with malicious ir.-
ten, or whether Brown had a brick
in his hat. Another strange feature
of this remarkable narrative is the
the following:
"I was on my way home, and
when I got opposite the school
house, on Main street, I saw some-
thing that looked like the fignre of a
man concealed in the weeds.''
Will Mr. Brown please explain on
what part of Main street those weeds
grow opposite the school house?
After a careful survey of the grounds,
we failed to find the weeds in which
the blood-thirsty assassins are suppos-
ed to have conccaled themselves.
Then again:
"I jerked out a revolver that I was
taking home from the Herald office."
"Did you shoot?" interrupted the
scribe. "Yes; I shot and did it
with deadly intention. After I shot
I took my hat and fanned the smoke
out ot my eyes. That done I started
for the place where I thought my
man was. About this time I heard
some one behind me and turned and
shot again. No sooner had I done
this than the paity first shot at came
behind me and knocked me clown,
where I lay at the mercy of the as-
sassins. I did not recollect anything
from that time until midnight, when
I became conscious and found that
my pistol was gone. The strangest
part of it is that they never took my
money." "Oh, you had money,"
said the reporter. ''Yes, I had some
but they were not able to find it."
The coolness of Brown must have
excited the lively admiration of ev-
ery Herald reader. Just to think of
it, after being pelted with brick bats
Brown fiies a revolver "with deadly
intent," and then takes off his hat
and deliberately fans the smoke out
of his eyes. Such heroism should
not go unrewarded, and it will be a
matter of justice with the editor of
the Herald to see that Brown's daunt-
less courage receives a proper recog-
nition.
After firing the shot "with deadly
intent," Brown determined to push
matters and started for the place where
he thought the assassin was link-
ing in the weeds, but just then "the
party first shot at" st>>le stealthily up
behind Brown and knocked him on
the head with a brick, "and he lay
at the mercy of the assassins " Ac-
cording to this extraordinary narra-
tive, Brown lay at the mercy of the
assassins from 11 o'clock until mid-
night. Brown told the reporter
of the News Wednesday evening
that his chest was sore, and the
only inference that we can draw is,
that the unfeeling wretches must
have sat down on him. How the vil-
lians must have chuckled as tiny
gazed upon the pallid featuies of
their prostrate victim and listened to
the night bic?ze sighingt.hrough that
beautiful mustache which has played
sad havoc with so many susceptible
female hearts.
But the strangest part of this al-
together strange talc is, that Blown
had money on his person, which
was left untouched by the midnight
assassins; that he had money de-
trays the probability ot the whole
story, for who ever heard of a prin-
ter working on the Herald carrying
money around in his pocket? If
Brown had emitted that part of the
narrative, we should nevei, ba dly
ever, have called into question the
varacity of this Wonder fill story.
In conclusion, we are glad to state
that Brown "has the wojdd-be as-
sassins 'spotted* and intends to ferret
them out that they may be made to
suffer for depredations."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 11, 1880.
Holidays being over, work will
now probably begin. The first busi-
ness that is now engaging the atten-
tion of the house is the adoption of
the new rules, or rather an abridge-
ment of the old rules. The most
serious objection that will be urged
against the new rules is that it takes
the River and Harbor bill from the
committee of commerce, and gives
it.to the committee of appropria-
tions. The proposition I think will
lie defeated, because the river and
harbor bills ^ive each member a
chance to get something for his
"deesti ict," whereas if the bill is
taken from that committee and given
to the committee 011 appropriation,
they would hardly appropriate mon-
ey tot anything except the Potomac
blots opposite the White House.
Did you know that the time of
congress is taken up more with busi-
ness for the District of Columbia and
^the Indian affairs than all the rest
of the affairs in^the United States?
It should not be so but it is so. Ev-
ery person that keeps a boarding
house is a lobbyist, and is eternally
working on the members of congress
that stop with them for their favora-
ble action in some measure for the
District. The Indian bureau is
backed by the whole Methodist
church north and some other de-
nominations. The past master of
this place died, and a fight for the
place commenced. It wat reported
that Hayes had made up his mind
(such as it is) to appoint f. O. P.
Burnside to the position, when some
cuss told Mrs. Hayes Fhat Burnside
attended shooting matches on Sun
day, and moreover that he had sign-
ed an application for a saloon keep-
er mar the P. O. D. While Burn-
side and friends were celebrating
down town that night the joyful
news that he was the man, Mrs. H.
had Rutherford in a private chamber
telling him that it was well enough
lor him to be taken for president by
the outside world, but she wished
him to remember that she was the
man, and that if Burnside was ap-
pointed she would know why.
Rutherford disclaimed any intention
of tjying to be president in fact, and
the next day appointed a Michigan-
der by adoption, but an Ohioan by
birth, to the position.. It' is hardly
necessary to state that the appointee
runs a paper in Michigan and sup-
ports Sherman for president.
The grecnback-labor-saving-com-
munisi-uaiiunal-vvcman's-! ights D>>1-
ly-Varden party, held a meeting here
tor two days during the past week.
Dennis Kearney was the grand mo-
gul. Dennis may be a good man,
but I will bet that if Everheart was
out looking for a murderer, that he
did not personally know, and met
Kearney, he would arrest him 011
geneial appearances. I am not one
ot those who are apposed to my one
advocating what he thinks is right,
for I do that myself and accord the
same privileges to othdis; and in
speaking of Dennis have nothing to
say against any measure of merit and
right that he may advocate, but I
will say that in tiaveling over dif-
terent parts of the world, I never
saw a man with a more villianous
countenance in my life than ban Den-
nis Kearney. Such speeches as he
made would have disgusted the
lowest inmates that ever inhabited
the dens on Skiddy street in by-gone
days. Jennings was present at the
conference, but like an inr. /c< nt boy
just learning to swear, he still had
self-respect en ru^h to be asham.d of
the mot) that were assembled. No
cause under the sun is pure enough-
to stand unblasted by the advocacy
of the men that assembled here in
council last week. The democratic
party is bad enough God knows,
while the existence of the republican
paity is a standing refutation of the
story of the overthro w of Sodom and
Gomarrah, but multiplying all the
faults of the two parties combined
by five, and I would prefer belong
ing to such an organization, than to
be classed as a fellow in good stan 1-
ing with any party that Would recog-
nize such men as come here as rep-
resentative men. Unless something
is done to take measures for crushing
out the adherents of Kearney & Co.,
the day is not far distant in this
country, before the scenes of the
reign of terror in France will be re-
enacted here. Murat was no more
of a bloodhound in feeling, than is
Dennis Kearney. Give him the op-
! p >rtunity, and he would revel in
j blood as did Murat. Both the men
j were and are cowuda hy nature,
and if kept under are decile ; ,h it
give them power wh< e 11toy could
murder without iisi< or danger, and
the hyena could noi exe l them.
The luct that such men find fo'-
I wer among the iguorent but well
intentioned t:la--s of people, should
be a warning to our legislators that
something is radically wrong. The
remedy should be sought, found out
and applied. Radical wrongs exist
and it will be bard work for intel-
ligent minds to find a solution ; but
if the intelligence of the country
does not find a solution to the prob-
lems of to-day, then ignorcuce which
is only guided by its prejudices and
passions will undertake the solution
and confusion and disaster will fol-
low. Therefore I would say to all
good citizens, let's drop sectional is-
sues and ring politicians and elect
men who will think that their duty
is first to country, then to party and
by that means take the grounds of
complaint from under the feet of
these communistic agitators, and by
that means relegate tjiem to private
life.
It is reported here that Tilden ha&
secured control of the majority ot
the stock ot the Pennsyvania rail-
road, which if true means that he
has secured control of Pennsylva-
nia's electoral vote. Uncle Sammy
propose to show the "boys" that the
old man is not dead, neither is be
sleeping. As Jackson cleaned up
everything in 1828 because he was
looked upon as the victim of a con-
spiracy between Clay and Qiiincy
Adams in 1824, so Tilden expects,
in 1880, to haye the wrong righted
hat was done him in 1876. Tot
have this question over suppose we
get the republicans to agree to run
Hayes and Wheeler against Tilden
and Hendricks, and let the people
decide as to the merits of the con-
trovercy in 1876. I do not believe
the republicans would do any such a
thing. Hayes is tolerated by his
party, but is detested by a large ma-
jority, and I do not think that be
will even get a complimentary vote
from Ohio in the national conven-
tion. Four hundred and eighteen
days more and he will sink to his
proper level, never to rise again.
