Bumble-Bees Prevent a Burial.
New Albany, Ind., Aug. 24—
Bumble-bees created consternation
at the Mineral of James Brackin,
who was buried at Bradford yester-
day afternoon. As the funeral cor-
tege neared the grave the horses
attached to the hearse stepped into
a bumble-bees' nest. The bees
swarmed out and attacked the in-
vadsrs of thsir home. The horses
became frantio from the stings and
reared and plunged until the l.earse
was nearly upset. The driver was
stung so badly that both sven were
oloasa in a few minute* an<\ he was
foroed to flee. A number < f the
mourners were atung, but courage-
ously ran t) the bearee and un*
bitched the horses, which ran away.
The greatest excitement prevailed.

Last Saturday a nigger base ball
game was played on the vacant lot
opposite Mr. W illinrd's residence
but across the railroad. And of all
the noise and racket that we ever
heard made in one short evening
we believe that they made the worst.
Aug. 27, 1900. Cor.
In a recent magazine article Gov.
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
nominee for vice president, refers
to the deceased Confederate chief-
tain, Jefferson Davis, as an arch
traitor, because of his efforts to per-
petuate a Confederate government.
Such words are an outrage to com-
mon decency, but, coming from the
source they did, have awakened
very little censure; for every one
knows that Roosevelt is one of the
most heartless and blood-thirsty
men living teday. It is also a fact
that he is doing more to rekindle
the smouldering embers of the civil
war than any other man on tUe
American platform. Always ag-
gressive and bigoted to an absurd
degree, he will find no favor ami
receive but little commendation for
such rabid utterances in the South.
Jefferson Davis was one of the pur-
est men the world has ever known,
**nd his name will be revered long
after Roosevelt is laid away in the
tomb of forgetfulness. By the
united efforts of such men as Joe
Wheeler the bloody chasm between
the North and South has been
bridged over, and it will take some-
thing more powerful than an intel-
lectual pigmy with a flimsy war rec-
ord to tear down the struelure.
The people of the south will, at, the
November election, show their con-
demnation of such uncalled-for ut-
terances. Merkel Mail.
