If you want to preserve America
for American industries vote tbe
' Republican ticket
If you want to give English in
dustries a boost at tbe expense of
our own, vote the Democratic tick
et If you want a man in Congress
who is in a party that has a sound
American policy vote for Jacob M.
Campbell.
General Campbell faced the bul
lets of the rebels on the battlefield,
he votes as he fought He is a good
man to represent us.
The great demand of the day in
political circles is an authorative
statement from Cleveland concern
ing his position on the question of
Protection.
The Democrats are making a
great ado because there is a depres
sion in some of our important in
dustries, but they fail to call atten
tion to the fact that the Democratic
manufacturers of forged letters, lies,
libels, scandals and other campaign
material are fairly wallowing in
prosperity.
Mr. David A. Wells, the leading
Free Trader of the country has
taken the stump for Cleveland in
the New England States. After his
address, he passes around a free
trade primer which he requests his
audience to take home and read at
their leisure, yet notwithstanding
this the Democratic newspapers are
trying to make the workingmen be
lieve that Cleveland and his party
do not favor Free Trade.
The Virginia straightoula deserve
the unqualified approval of all lie
publicans for their withdrawal of
their electoral ticket and their ear
nest resolve to faithfully and effic
iently support the ticket of the Ma
hone Republicans. They show by
this act that they yalue the success
of the Republican party more than
they value the success of any one set
of men. They are willing to subordi
nate personal ambition to the cause
they serve. The Republicans enter
the fight with a united front and a
firm determination to win. Speed
the cause!
No party in any country ever ex
isted which has stood so true to the
interests of the laboring masses as
has the Republican party from the
first year of its existence to the
present period. It made men and
women of 4,000,000 laborers which
Democrats claimed only as chattels.
It has protected the weak and help
less by the strong arms of the law.
It has given the Nation the best
currency the world ever used. It
has opened up to the use of actual
settlers .millions of acres of the pub
lic domain. It has fostered man
ufactories and thus protected the la
borer by insuring him good wages.
To talk of American industries and
of the interests of workmen comes
very awkward to a democratic
statesman. In the Ions reign of
the democratic party its statesmen
knew of do labor interests but that
of 6lave labor. This ruled all their
ideas of public finances. The slave
lords and masters believed that the
.interests of Flave labor were antago
nistic to the manufacturing indus
tries of the free States. They wan
ted to trade wholly with England
:and Europe, and to bar out the pro
ducts of the skilled industries of free
labor. The Northern Democratic
party was subservient to this theory
of political economy. It has not yet
learned any other ideas. To talk of
the Xorthira industries and of Nor
thern workmen would require them
to learn a new set f ideas and a
new vocabulary. The Southern
Democrats still hold to the old ideas
of the time of slavery. The Nor
thern Democrats have no other idea
to set Against them, and they have
the old-time habit of servile subjec
tion to the South. This is the cause
of their incapacity in affairs.
The Cleveland Leader speaking
of the course of the temperance peo
ple in that State says, that from
mere vexation and in a spiteful
spirit, they propose to destroy the
only party that ever gave temper
ance legislation to the country, and
hand over the United States to the
rule and riot of the rum party. They
propose to unchain tbe demon, and
then hope that in disgust at the ex
tremity of his outrages and crimes,
the people will turn to a stronger
reform, to a more radical type of
legislation.
As the Herald goes to press the
battle of ballots is being waged in
Ohio. The canvass throughout tbe
state has been one f unusual ex
citement and has been fought with
desperation on both sides ; the skies
have been painted scarlet from the
river to the lake by the flame of
torches and Greek fire. The mag
netic presence and clear cut senten
ces of Blaine have aroused tbe en
thusiam of the Republicans to a
pitch seldom equaled. The Dem
ocrats have a perfect organiEation
and have made a good fight and are
abundantly supplied with money.
Both sides are confidently claiming
the victory but all indications point
to the election of the Republican
ticket by from ten to twelve thous
and majority.
What a protective tariff does for
the workingman is well illustrated
in the recent history of Germany.
Under free trade there in 1S7S,
blacksmiths received $3.50 a week,
but after three years of protection
they received $6 50 a week; under
free trade brick-layers received $3 07
a week, and under protection S3 50
per week ; under free trade carpen
ters received $4 07 per week, and un
der protection $5 50 ; under free
trade plasterers received $3 80 per
week, and under protection So 50 ;
under free trade laborers received
$2 92 per week, and under protec
tion $3 50 a gain of thirty per cent
in the workingman's wages under
protection over free trade. If our
workingmen do not wish a reduc
tion of wages to the free trade stan
dard they will vote for Campbell for
Congress.
Vhen tbe Democratic party was
last in control of the government, it
broke up the National Union. This
is tbe only record it has left by
which to judge what it would do if
it got into power again. What it
would do no Democrat can tell. Its
old character is a very strange and
a very bad reccommendation for
its being again trusted. If it would
come into control of tbe government
again it would be to administer that
which exists against its own invet
erate hostility. It must change its
character wholly, to adapt itself to
the situation, or go to work and over
turn everything. Revenue, justice, j
faith, currency, tariff, credit, Nation
al works, everything regarding pub
administration, even the Nation it
self exists against tbe uttermost
opposition of tbe Democratic party.
What would it do about it? Would
it accept the situation and pro
nounce right, all that the Republi
can party aid, and wrong the entire
cause of the Democratic party?
Would it reconstruct itself? It must
do that, or to keep up its party
character go to work and destroy all
that has been done by the Repub
lican party. Is the country prepar
ed for an entire revolution such as
this would be? Think of it!
If the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency possesses a tithe of
tbe self respect that a man should
who is a candidate for that high
office, the position his party has
placed him in must be a very em
barrassing one. Their platform is
so worded as to be construed by
Democratic papers and campaign
orators in the East, and some small
portions of the South, as favoring
protection, while the majority of
their papers of the South and We6t
insist that it declares for Free Trade.
This does very well for Randall on
the one hand and Morrison or Car
lisle on the other, but it does not
and will not do for the Presidential
candidate. If he speaks on this
leading and most important of all
political questions, his words will be
understood to be a national and au
thorative exposition of the Dem
ocratic position, to be alike binding
in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, in
Massachusetts and South Carolina.
Hence it is that Mr. Cleveland
must keep his lips sealed on this
questioa. If he should proclaim
himself a Revenue Reformer, of the
Carlisle pattern, the Democratic
leaders of the East and North would
at once read hiin out of the party;
on tbe other hand should he favor
incidental protection the West and
South would at once condemn him;
so his mouth is closed, and he pre
sents the curious and disgusting
spectacle of a candidate for the
highest office in the Nation, afraid
to utter a word on the most impor
tant question involved in the election.
On the other hand the position of
the Republican party on this ques
tion is known of all men, and its can
didate is doing tbe most effective
work of tbe campaign by an open
and fearless advocacy of the doc
trine of Protection.
The Democratic party is the party
of blunders.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
No Democrats as yet lias been able
to show that any man ever lost a
dollar by Mr. Blaine's financial op
erations. Hartford Courant: We are still
under the impression that Mr. Gro-

the next President of the United
States.
Buffalo Erprets : "What has the
Republican party done for tbe coun
try ?" shouted a negro Democratic
orator at a meeting in Long Island
City last Saturday night MIt freed
the niggers, you darned fool," shout
ed back a woman in the audi
ence. Democratic claims of carrying
Michigan have grown smaller as the
Republican canvass shows greater
energy. Such political demonstra
tions and enthusiasm as this year is
n-;tniKKino- hare been unknown in
past Republican campaigns in the
state.
A good deal has been said about
Bucks County democrats, who in

letter, does better than that He
whoops it up for Ben Franklin, but

IjOGA.V IX PHILADELPHIA.
One of the Grandest Processions Ever
Seen in tbe Quaker Vitj.
Philadelphia, October 9. Gen
eral John A. Logan arrived at the
Broad Street station at 4 o'clock yes
terdav afternoon, after a pleasant
trip from Washington, in charge of
a committee of tne young tiepupii
cans, whose guest he is in this city.
At the Relay House near Balti
more, General Beaver who was on
his way home from West Virginia,
got on the train and joined the party
in Gen Logans car, where Senator
Cooper also spent most of his time.
General Logan frequently went into
the other cars to chat with the com
mittee. He seemed full of hope but
said little about the campaign.
When General Logan entered the
side door of the Academy of Music
last night the few who saw him
come in clapped their hands. Sev
eral hundred who were massed on
the great stage took up the applause
with hand and voice, and before the
black haired candidate could
make his way to the front three
thousand people were greeting him
with their utmost strength. Every
part of the building from the floor
to the roof was crowded. As Gen
eral Logan stepped to the footlights
the cheering was supplemented with
waving of hats and handkerchiefs,
and the scene was as xciting as the
tumult The object of the enthusi
asm stood in a proud attitude for
half a minute, while the cheering
was renewed several times. Mrs.
Logan was in a private box on the
left of the stage. General Beaver,
who came forward on his crutches
before General Logan had taken hi
seat, was also cheered with great en
thusiasm. Some one then proposed
three cheers for Logan and they
were thoroughly well given, and
three for Beaver, which were given
just as heartily.
lhe five corners wnere ludge ana
Fairtnount avenues and Broad street
meet were a cross between pande
monium and Gehenna for a good
two hours before the great proces
sion moved. The intersection of
the streets makes the place the worst
one in Philadelphia from which to
start a parade. It rained for the
first half hour, then drizzled the
rest of the time.
MAKING A START.
Finally at twenty minutes past
nine, it was concluded that the
Black Eagle's feathers were not can
vass backed enough to Etand the
rain and the procession started. The
Veteran's Club, with their tattered
battle flags, had passed, and the
Young Republicans, with Horace D.
Gaw at their head were well on their
way wheu a closed coupe rattled up
through the crowd. Chief Stewart
and Captain Quirk, looking through
the window, saw a black moustache
on one seat and a crutch on tbe oth
er. They knew that Beaver, the
veteran, who was maimed, and Lo
gan the veteran who went to the
Senate, had arrived. No one else
was in the secret, and the two gener
als remained in the cab until the
grand barouche, with its four horses,
was brought up by Edwin S. Stuart.
Then General Logan stepped cut and
waved his high hat as if it were a
sombrero and he on the plains.
The crowd responded enthusiastical
ly and a yell went up that made the
torches flare. General Logan walk
ed across the wet cobble-stones to
the carriage, General Beaver follow
ed and the procession moved on
ward up Fairmount avenue with an
other yell.
ALONG THE LINE OF MARCH.
The pavement was crowded from
Broad to Twentieth streets. Down
the latter the mass was thinner. As
the long fiery snake of torches kept
on unwinding its coils around the
corner of Broad street and Fair
mount avenue the crowd which was
there densest began to break for
Chestnut street and the Continental.
'"That's the gun from Eleventh
street," said Mayor Smith, as he
strode the corridor of the hotel, when
the Union Republican Club saluted
the head of the column at five min
utes past eleven. Five minutes lat
er the helmets of the six mounted
Reserves showed through the crowd.
Then came the chief marshal and
his aids. A moment more and the
candidate's carriage, which had been
manoeuvred to the head of the pro
cession during the march, rolled
around to the Ninth street entrance
of the hotel and baited.
Its Young Republican body-guard
stormed it and jumped in over the
box, tbe back and the wheels, every
where but the door. General Logan
shook more hands and had more
coal oil dropped down his back in
thirty seconds than ever man had
before since politics were inven'
ted.
ON THE HOTEL BALCONY.
A white-haired lady rushed out of
a bedroom on the hrst floor an in
stant after tbe door of the parlor
wbicb opens upon the stone balco
ny of the hotel had closed on the
General.
"It's too late, Mrs. Logan," said
an excited gentleman.
"Oh dear, I wish he'd waited to
change his wet clothes," was the re
sponse, and bare-headed Mrs. Logan
went straight to her liege lord's side.
Then agatn the sombrero sweep, the
yellow of the crowd and as a steady
ing undercurrent ot sound tbe deep
voiced cheer of the Veterans' Club.
Far up the street could be beard the
howls of the Harmony legion, who
were apparently looking for a dem
ocrat. As the bands crashed louder
and oftener the General's wife crew
more excited. Her handkerchief
beat time to each changing tune and
her face was the symbol of de
light.
All at once there came a cracking
noise, a crash and a yell not of tri
umph, but of fear and pain from
Brownings' old store, at Ninth and
Chestnut streets. Balcony handker
chief stopped waving and the cheer
ing ceased. Haifa dozen policemen
jumped through the crowd and pick
ed up the big bill bill-board, which
had toppled overwith half a dozen
small boys on top of and a half a
hundred people beneath it. There
were bloody noses, scratched hands
and torn clothes, but no serious hurts
and the procession swept on.
WATCHING THE PROCESSION.
It was about this time that Gener
al Logan's attention was frequently
diverted by his wife. Some argu
ment was evidently going on. which
as speedily closed by Mrs. Logan
producing a black skull cap and gen
tly but firmly crowning with it tbe
General's raven locks. Major Bow
man almost immediately afterwards
stepped upon the balcony. He gave
the candidate bis baton and took
from him his hat. Then, while the
last band played "Marching Through
Georgia." the General waved the bat
toon and the Major waved the hat
The great parade spent itself in a
yell and a blaze. It was a kaleido
scope of color. No uniform known
to the world, from that of the Zulu
King's body-guard to the White
Cuirassiers of Prussia, was absent
from it It was a Hades of sound, for
tbe band took care to sandwhich
'A Boy's Best Friend is His mother'
in between "Peek-a-Boo" and "The
Merry War." There were 20,000 men
in it, and the most conspicuous were
the employes of the Twenty-fifth
Ward Gas Works.
General Logan left for West Vir
ginia at three o'clock this morning.
St. John Asked to Withuraw.
New York, October 9. A num
ber f leading Republicans, who are
in hearty sympathy with the prohi
bition movement feel that the candi
dacy of Governor St John is weak
ening the Republican party only,
and by supporting him they may
possibly injure the Republican nom
inees without in any way aiding in
the furtherance of their own princi
ples, They have therefore united in
a request to Governor St John to
withdraw from tbe Presidential con
test The paper is signed by Dr.
Theodore D. Woolsey, ex-President
of Yale College,John V. Farwell and
Judge Grant Goodrich, of Chicago,
,Rev. Dr. Hatfield and Mr. Orrington
Lunt, of Evanston, Ills., Governor
John Evans, of Colorado, tbe Presi
dent of tbe Board of Trustees of the
Northwestern University at Evan
ston, 111., and many of the promi
nent men in the Prohibition move
ment The address embodies four
teen different reasons why the Re
publican party should be adhered to
in the present contest.
First among these that it is their
belief that prohibition will be more
successful when it is submitted to a
vote of the people separate from the
issues and distinct from party poli
tics. "It is unfair," the report con
tinues, "'to patriotic citizens to bring
the question before them in such
shape as not only to require its
friends to vote for what many of
them do not approve, but also to sac
rifice their ballot on all other ques
tions, however vitally important
they may be. Votes for the prohi
bition ticket are three-told thrown
away. They weaken the party,
strengthen the enemy and endorse
an unwise and ill-advised movement
It has not the approval of many
now in the prohibition movement,
and temperance people in Maine,
Iowa and Kansas oppose it to-day."
The fourth reason 6tated is tbe gen
eral confusion that exists in regard
to the purposes of the St John tick
et According to its platform a vote
for it is as much a vote for woman's
suffrage, for Chinese immigration,
from taking the appointing power
away from the President, and for
unjust reflections on Blaine and Lo
gan, as it is for temperance, The
address finally closes with an appeal
to Republicans to stand by the par
ty, md a formal request to Mr. St
John to withdraw from the contest
Felllnc Ins Lynchers.
Evansyille, Ind., Oct. 11. A
mob of about 150 persons formed
at the jail at Cannelton, with the ap
parent intent of lynching the Hen
dershot murderers, father and son,
but made no effort to that end, seem
ing to be without a leader. The ex
pected arrival of a mob from Troy
also discouraged them. At 2 o'clock
officers got tbe prisoners into a
covered express, took them on board
the steamer Henry Logan, which
had previously been chartered for
the purpose, and steamed off down
the river. The people were greatly
excited and would have prevented
the accomplishment of the rescue
if they had had any idea of what
was transpiring. As the boat pass
ed TroJ) with the prisoners a mob
of about fifty endeavored to head
the boat off, but it hugged the Ken
tucky 6hore and pushed on down
the river. The steamer arrived at
Rock port and the priosners haye
been put in jail there.
A Justice of the Peace
with an Axe.
Assaulted
New Haven, Conn. Oct 8. Dr.
Zink, justice of the peace in the
town of Branford, was assaulted
last night with an axe in his kitch
en, where he had eaten his lunch
and fallen asleep in a chair. While
his head was resting on the table,
some unknowu person entered and
struck him a blow on the back of
the head fracturing his skulL Some
time after he gained conciousness
and crawled into the front yard and
rang his door-bell, when the hostler
let him in. Footprints of a bcre
footed person were found near the
house. Patrick Doherty, who had
been fined and sent to jail on Satur
day, and subsequently released,
made threats against bim. Officers
went to Doherty's home at 4 A. M.
and took him out of bed. Tbe foot
prints in the Band correspond to tbe
shape of Doherty's feet Doherty
denies all knowledge of the assault,
but tells conflicting stories of his
whereabouts last night Physicisns
all agree that ir. Zink will die.
Grave Robberies la Ohio.
Zanebville O., October 9. There
have been many mysterious grave
robberies in this section recently.
To satisfy curiosity and to remove
doubts more than twenty graves of
persons buried within two years
were opened and 11 found empty.
The names of the missing are : Wil
liam Elsonby, James Miller, Mary
Brown, Mrs. Alice Morgan, Wm.
Lewis, Peter Lewis, Grace Simmons,
Lewis King (infant), lienry sener,
Alva Rice and Mrs Belle Porter.
When the graves were robbed no
one can tell, and there is nothing
like a clue. The cases Darned are
only a portion of a large number
reported from round about here.
Tea Workmen Drowaed.
Chicago, October 8. Ten men
employed in tbe construction of the
new water tunnel for the village of
Hy de Park, south of this city were
drowned in plain view of the village
at six o clock this morning. . lfteea
men were employed upou t..o work
of sinking tbe tunnel and construct
ing a new crib at a point in Lake
Michigan one mile from shore.
Above the crib had been constructed
a platform forty feet square, sup
ported by poles bound together with,
heavy chains. Upon tbe platform
had been built a small cabin ia
which the men slept and had their
meals, having lived there for the
past three weeks. The platform was
supported bv heavy timbers resting:
on poles. At about five o'clock the
sea became so heavy that portions
of the platform were washed away.
The men awoke about 5 30 and
found the spray with every wave
washing the side of their hut Tbe j
wre not much alarmed and pro
ceeded to get breakfast, which they
succeeded in eating, lhe storm
continued to increase in furv, and
finally a great wave struck tbe cabin
and carried it fairly into the boiling
sea and with it every mas upon the
frail structure. 1 welve ot tbe men
succeeded in climbing upoa the
huge stringers, and lying facedown,
with their arms around the beam,
they awaited the arrival of assistance,
Every moment increased their dan
ger, and tbe waves with tenible
force, tore them one by on from
their anchorage until only eight re
mained, In tbe meantime the crew
of the Chicago Life Saving Station
had been advised of their situation
and were dispatched to tbeir rescue.
1 hey arrived at the scene- about
eleven o'clock, and when they were
within throwing distance a line was
made fast by the drowning men to
the timbers and made tight froo
the boat lhe eight survivors at
tempted the feat of working through
tbe surf to the boat, but only tour
succeeded in making the journey.
One of the men washed off succeed ¬
ed, with the aid of a plank, in reach
ing shore. Among tbe drowned are
William H. Sheanhan and K. Coi -
bin, contractors of the work. The
names of tbe others drowned are
Lewis Ainsworthr Andrew Aim
worth, Charles Manski,Charles Folk :,
D. Smith, Otto Moncefski, Klau s
Klausen. The bodies of the drown
ed have not vet been recovered.
Violal ion of Pledee by tbe Sea -
board' Penn'a auid. Western It. R.
Huntingdon,. Pa., October 9.--
Farmers in the Kishocoquillas ,val -
ley, who gave the right of wav fc r
the Seaboard Pennsylvania and
Western Railway, are threatening
to in tar fere with the constructio .i
of the road, if any attempts should
eyer be- aaade to build it They
say that the conditions upon whic b
they granted the right have been vi
olated. They were assured that
work would te begun early in th e
present year, and thus far there ha s
been no move in that direction. I n
plowing for their fall crops they loft
tbe ground that bad been laid ot.t
for tbe road through their fields uo -plowed,
in expectation that it
would soon be dug up and graded.
In this they have been disappointed,
and some of them claim that they
are released irom tneir contrail
with the company. The right of
wav has never been obtained from
this city to the end of the valley
near Mill creek, this county, and no
effort has been mde to obtain it
within the last six months.
Walked Ont of an Open Window.
New York, Oct, 7. Peter Kraft,
a wood carver, nineteen years old,
walked out of an open window ot
his brother's house, in'thia city, ou
Sunday, and was killed. His
brotner nad been married that day,
and young Kraft attended the wed
ding with a lady friend. Beer flow
ed freely, and when the time came
to go home the wood carver started
for the door, calling upon his sweet
heart to follow him, but mistook the
direction, forgetting that the hall
way in his house across the street
ran in the opposite way. A
front window reaching to the floor
was open, and Kraft walked through
it, falling with a crash to the street
Amid the hysterical shrieks of his
sweetheart and the bride he was car
ried up crushed and bleeding, and
laid upon a bed, where he'died this
morning.
Launch of a Xew Steel Cruiser.
Chester, Pa., Oct 9. The launch
of the new steel cruiser Atlanta, at
Roach's yard this afternoon was at

H. Loring, Chief of the Bureau of
Steam Engineering; Admiral Simp
son, all the members of the Advisory
Board and many others connected
with the Navy Department The
launch took place soon after

Chief Loring spoke very flatteringly
of tbe vessel as to her apparent
strength, architecture and displace
ment The vessel will be completed
as soon as possible.

Vandals in a C'hqrcb..
Reading, Oct. 8. The Doe Run
Cathoiic Church, in Chester county,
was entered ay unknown miscre
ants last night, who ruined the
organ, destroyed a picture of the
Holy Mother, carried off several
altar vessels, damaged the pews,
upset the heaters, daubed the floor
and walls and smashed several raer
morial windows. Last year about
this time the same church was des?
ecrated in tbe same manner. Some
attach the blame to bitter enemies re
siding in that section, while others
say it is the work of rascally tramps.
Hacklaa- Valley Coal Fir.
Columbus, Oct 12. A special
from Nelsonville says: All the syn

Thaddeas Steven Will.
Lancaster. October 9. Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens bequeathed in his
will $50000 for the establishment ana
endowment in this city of a house
of refuge for homeless and indigent
orphans, without distinction as to
race, color or parentage, provided
suitable ground?, not less than two
acres in extent, were given for the
purpose. Tbe treasurer of the Home
for friendless Children of this city
accepted tbe bequest about three
years ago under the prescribed con
ditions, and tendered to the surviv
ing executors, Hon. Edward Mc
pherson of Gettysburg, and Hon.
Antbonv E. Roberts, ot this city, a
deed of two acres of ground.
At a meeting of tbe trustees of the
Home Wednesday it was stated that
although Mr. Steven bad been dead
for over sixteen years there are no
indications of any efforts on the
part of the executors looking to the
carrying out of the provisions of
the will. It was finally decided to
appoint a committee to investigate
tbe condition of the estate, which
consists principally of real estate
situated in Lancaster, Adams and
Franklin counties and if the pre
scribed amount of $50,000 is at the (lis
posal of the executors, take legal
measures to compel the establish
ment of the contemplated institu
tion.
lhe investigating committee is
composed of three prominent cit
izen, who will prosecute the matter
as rapidly as possible, as the trus
tees are convinced that theestablish
ment of the institution has been de
layed too long.
Drowned in the East RUer.
New York, October 11. A neatly-dressed,
medium-sized man got
on the pier at the foot of Dover
street last night and was walking to
the edge when Private Watchman
Ennis stopped him. The Stranger
who appeared to be slightly under
the influence of liquor, said he wan
ted to go to Brooklyn, and could not
bo induced to leave the pier.
Watchman Lem then came up, and
the stranger was removed to the
street.
Ten minutes later the stranger re
appeared on the pier, and flourish
ing his arms about cried out : "I'm
Johnny Dwyer and I'm going to
Brooklyn if I've got to swim there."
Lem caught hold of him, and Ennis
started to look for a policeman.
During Ennis' absence the stranger
broke away from Lem and jumped
into the river. The captain of a ca
nal boat threw a rope to the stran
ger who refused to take hold of it
A life raft thrown within a few feet
of him was also tured aside and in a
few minutes he sank from sight
Policeman Baker, of the Oak street
station secured a boat and paddled
about for nearly an hour, but could
find no trace ot the man. The cur
rent was so strong that the body was
evidently swept away as soon as he
sank,
ine stranger is described as
about 50 years old, with dark hair
and side whiskers. He was dressed
in a dark suit of clothes and wore a
dark overcoat

Dj nana Its Explaatoa In Qasnes.
Quebec, Oct 11. About one
o'clock this afternoon an explosion
occurred at the new Parliament
building, destroying a considerable
part of the masonry and windows
of the new building, which is just
being roofed in. The explosion at
first was supposed to have been
the boiler of the engine for hoisting
material; but this proved not to be
the case, neither can it be attributed
to gas. Tbe general impression ap
pears to be that the explosion was
caused by dynamite; but as none of
this ingredient is used about tbe
works, tbe mystery is bow it got
there. An investigation is now
being held. The workmen all being
away at dinner, nobody but one
man was injured, and he escaped
with a slight cut from a piece of
stone. The shock was very severe
all over the city, and the windows
of the houses in the vicinity of the
explosion were badly shattered.
A Thousand Workmen Discharged.
Albany, Oct 11. Nearly one
thousand workmen, the whole force,
were discharged from the construct
ion department of the new capitol
building last night by Superintend
ent Persy. The wotk has usually
continued through the fall and till
the assembling of the Legislature.
Last winter the Republican Legisla
ture refused to appropriate the usual
amount, and so the work stops now.
The Republicans at that time claim
ed that the force was being used for
political purposes and withheld the
funds. This was denied by the
Democrats, who said they favored
the finishing of the building during
Govenor Cleveland's term.
A 1 oqian Assassinated.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct 7. A
shocking murder occurred last night
near Alpine, Ga. Mrs. Mary H.
Davis was shot and killed while
standing in her doorway by assas
sins in amoush. lo-day her uncle,
J. 1L Dorsey, and a woman named
Jane Wade were arrested forcomplic-.
ity in the deed. It is thought that the
investigation of the case will solve
the myetery of two other recent
crimes in the vicinity.
Shot by a Conoealed Party.
Centralia, Pa., Oct 8. Last
night while Henry Boyer and James
Casson were driving from Roaring
Creek to Orangeville they were fired
on by a concealed party. Casson
received a charge of shot in his side
and is reported dead. The horse
ran away and Boyer was thrown
out over an embankment, breaking
one of his legs. Whether the
shooting was the result of an acci
dent or intentional cannot be ascertained.
Explosion of m Big Goo.
Annapolis, Md., October 7. Tbe
United States steamer Standish is :
achieving a reputation for bursting
great guns. This afternoon at 5.15
tbe second one within a year was
burst to pieces. The steamer was
in command of Lieutenant John F.
Meigs, who had the third division
of the first class of naval cadets on
board, the division numbering
about fifteen. The cadets had fired
five shells at a target 700 yards dis
tant in Chesapeake Bay, when on the
sixth shot the gun burst with tre
mendous crash and shiver of the
timber of the ship. Numbers of
tbe pieces of the gun flew completely
over the ship. One piece weighing
over 500 pounds bounded from one
side of the ship to the other, making
two holes in the deck as it went
against the starboard taffrail. Anoth
er piecd weighing over a hundred
pounds was found lying on the port
quarter, and a third piece of five
hundred pounds was found on the
hurricane deck, and near the boiler,
the deck was broken where it lay.
No one was injured, all the pieces
flying over the heads of the cadets
and crew. The gun was a muzzle
loading Parrot, converted into a
breech-loader. It was run out from
the port side of the quarters, and
fortunately the cadets were steading
the gun on the right side. Had they
been on the other rope a fearful loss
of life would have occurred, lhis
is the second gun of this kind that
has burst on the btandish, and one
of the same make was found crack
ed on the Wyoming. The cadet
who fired the gnn looked alarmed
at what he had done when he real
ized the situation. Considerable of
the Standish was carried away.

A Brandlftaaft-laa Lily.
Nfw Yore October 12. The dis
play of fruits, flowers, plants and
vegetables at the American Institute
Fair, which ended last evening, was
tbe most successful exhibit made so
far and attracted a larger attendance
than on any former year. The gi
ant lily, which is twenty feet high,
will bloom before the exhibition
closes. It will not bear another
for twenty years, at the end of which
time, as it is claimed that it grows
five inches every day. its height will
preclude its being exhibited in the
American Institute Fair of 1904, un
less a very rapid advance in the sci
ence ot building has been made in
the meantime. The special show of
scarlet and zonal pelargoniums will
commence on Wednesday and will
continue until Saturday.

passengers of the steamship America
yesterday were Mr. James Graves
and wife. Graves is a member of
the firm of Fox Bros., jewelers, 12

ation in which he stated he had only
a few dutiable articles of small value,
and was about to leave, when the
Custom House Inspector insisted
on making a more thorough search
of his baggage. He indignantly
protested that he had no other du
tiable articles, and when the In
spector persisted fell to the floor in
a faint Graves and his wife were
carefully searched and $20,000 worth
of unset diamonds discovered.
Both were held for examination.
Family FoIimmL
Catawissa, Pa., Oct 12 Samuel
Sweizert's whole family were poison
ed at Koaring Creek and two of tbe
children are dead. A can of Paris
green was found at the bottom of
the well with the tin rusted through
by the action of the water. How it
came there was at first a mystery,
and for a time suspicions of foul
!)lay were entertained, but it was at
ast learned tha; last season the
farmer had used Paris green on his
farm and had left a small cannister
containing the poison lying in the
barn near the well, and that two
weeks ago the children had been
playing with it, and unsuspicious
of its contents, threw it into the
well. One of the children related
tne story ana dispelled ail suspic
ions of foul play.
