It is announced that Mr. Day,

One of the convicts of the Utah

serving in the vile place for no oth

three of the loveliest wives in the
United States, together with twenty
three pretty children."
That Reverend political acrobat
Henry Ward Beecher, has seen the
hand writing on the wall in New
York, and has flip-flapped Lack in
to the Republican ranks with the
announcement that the Republican
State ticket ought to be elected.
It looks as if there was need of a
new reciprocity treaty between the
President and his party. There is
no mistaking the fact that they are
not pulling together, and that the
President will havo to go back on
bis professions if he wishes to main
tain party unity.
The Democrats who last year
howled themselves hoarse over civil
service reform, are now busily de
fending Southern frauds on the bal
lot box. For unadulterated hard
ness of cheek and unblushing im
pudence nothing will compare with
the modern Democrat
the great surplus in the Treasury.
) We do not hear anything of it now.
And yet by refusing to use it to re
duce the debt it has been constantly
accumulating, and is to-day greater
than under the Republican admin
istration. The pile makes Manning
and Jordan feel proud just to look
at t occasionally.
Thure are now In the vaults of
the Treasury at Washington fifty
million silver dollars which contain
only eighty cents' worth of silver.
The government cannot force this
coin into circulation, and yet the
coinage of this currency, that is not
current, 6till goes on. It is simply
a bare-faced attempt to keep up the
market value of silver, for the bene
fit of a few owners of silver mines,
at the expense of the taxpayers of
the United States.
The New York Time and Even
ing Post, "Independent" Republican
journals which supported Cleveland
for President, are openly and ear
nestly opposing the election of Gov
ernor Hill, the present Governor of
the State. The New York U rnU,
one of the most energetic Democrat
ic supporters of Cleveland, is also
opposing Hill's re-election, and on
the whole it looks as if the State of
New York will go Republican by a
handsome majority at the coming
election.
A chart has been prepared in the

WHOLESALE LYNCHING.
The New York Timet, a leading
advocate of Cleveland's election, in
its issue of Wednesday last says :
"The Democratic State Conven
tion has bid defiance to common
" 6ense, common decency and to the
"President of the United States.
"And it took down a portrait of
" General Grant which happened to
" be in the hall in which it met, and
put it out of sight" In another
article in the same issue it talks as
follows :
" Possessed with the spirit of Re-
"elzebub and led by Tammany
" Hall, ihe New York Democracy
" has rushed violently down a steep
" place into the sea. The choking
will be attended to on the 3rd of

Huntingdon, Sept 30. Since the
suspension of work on the South
Pennsylvania Railroad a portion ol
the country through which it pass

pads, there nave been so many
attempts at highway robbery that
people fear to travel by the ordinary
m ethods and the usual routes with
out protection.especially after night
One of those on whom an assault
was recently made is Hon. William
Horton; ex-member of the Legisla-
lature, who was attacked near aide
ling Hill tunnel while on his way
home from. McConnellsburg. He
bafHed his assailants. These at
tempts are attributed to discharged
workmen, who in utter desperation
have taken to the road. They over

Gxrqk W. Curtis, the editor of
Harper' Weekly and the great Mug

the election of the Republican can

that his success will be an indorse

to civil service reform. Queer fel

The Scranton Ripuliiican insists
that the clerk of the Orphans' Courts
of the several counties should pro

place as the clerk's general office.
Hon. B. F. Meyers retired from
the editorial chair of the Harrisburg
Patriot on the 1st inst and was sue
ceeded by W. P. Hastings, of Jeffer

years' lease of the paper. Mr. Mey
ers was one of the ablest Democrat
ic editors in the State, and his party
as well as the profession will miss
his versatile pen.
George W. Ccktis, the great Mug
wump leader, insists that the best
way to sustain President Cleveland
is to vote the Republican ticket in
New York. Mr. Curtis sees that
the Republicans whom he led astray
last year are returning to the fold,
and while following them back into
the party, tries to cover up his tracks
by still hallooing for Cleveland.
A few so-called Republicans in
Philadelphia who supported Cleve
land for President and attempted to
get up an organized movement
against Blaine, are now attempt
ing to effect an Independent organi
zation against Colonel Quay. They
are finding but little encouragement
outside the Democratic ranks, and
I he campaign now on band is
only the entering wedge of the great
battle of next year, when a Govern
or, Congressman and other impor
tant officers will be elected. Repub
licans should see to it that a full
vote is polled for Colonel Quay. His
election by a triumphant majority
assures a victory next year. Tbe
Democrats are organizing for a still
hunt not with the expectation of
beating Col. Quay, but to so reduce
the Republican majority as to have
an effector next year's campaign.
Both wings of the party are heart
ily iu accord ; both are earnest in
their desire for his election, and
there is no doubt of his having a
magnificent majority if there is a
full vote polled. Let it be the aim
of every good Republican to see
that the vote is out
Pittsburg, Sept 30. About two
miles from Hays Station, on the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charlestown
Road to-day a sand-bank caved in
on six workmen, burying them out
of sight A tool bouse which stood
above the bank collapsed, many of
the timbers being imbedded in the
sand so that they were difficult to
remove, and forming a roof over tbe
imprisoned men, whose families
gathered about and much impeded
the eltoru of tne men who came to
the rescue. The last to be dug out
was Bernard Milligan. All the time
his groans could be distinctly heard.
His courage, he afterward said, was
kept up by tbe cries of his wife to
"cheer up, Barney, you will Boon be
out." Mifligan was wedged in by a
rafter. There was a juyful scene
when his prostrate form was uncov
ered, and all who witnessed it were
moved to tears. The six men were
painfully but not seriously hurt

Pittsburg. Oct 2. Shortly after
.7 o'clock this morning a battery of
boilers at the Solar Iron Works of
CLuke & Co., on Thirty-xth Street,
exploded, and nearly score of pep
sons were injured. The night turn
had just been relieved by the day
force when the explosion occurred,
and that portion of the works in the
vicinity of the boilers was filled with
a cloud of steam. Through the dense
mist came shrieks and groans, as
soon as the steam cleared away a
rush was made for the spot where
the exnlosion occurred, when it was
ascertained that the mud drum of
the boilers bad exploded, and that
the escaping steam had, scalded sev
enteen men. Closer InTestigation
showed that of this number four
teen were badly burned, and that
three were fatally injured. " Two of
the latter have since died.
The injured were found lying as
they fell Some were so far away
from the battery that it seemed im
possible that they could nave been
injured by the explosion. The large
number of boys hurt is accountedfor
by the fact that they were employ
ed the in hoop! iron which was roll
ed in the mill nearest the boilers.
It was fully twenty minutes after
the explosion before the boy Frank
Murray was taken out from under
the truck where he was thrown. In
addition to bein? scalded he was
terribly crushed by the weight of
iron that was piled on top oi mm.
James Cattoe and Frank Mar
tin suffered the most from the escap
ing steam. Both died after being
taken out
Those most seriously injured were
taken to the hospital, while the oth
ers were removed to their homes.
The interior of the finishing mill
presented a terrible sight of desola
tion after the accident The boilers,
six in number, form a battery which
is located in the extreme Southwest
corner of the mills. The mud drum
runs lengthwise under all six boilers.
It was the end ot this which blew
out With such force did it explode
as to scatter destruction on all sides.
All the boilers were unseated. Two
of them were tilted back and some
of them are on end. In the rear
the whole wall of masonry was
moved outward. A very remarka
ble feature was Xhe jamming of the
mud drum's head against one of the
engines, mis engine was situated
few yards North of the boilers.
The burst iron blew directly against
the cylinder head of the engine,
smashed it to pieces and blew the
whole head inward, r rom this the
steam rushed out with a loud, his
sing sound. Large stacks of hoop
iron were blown all over tbe milt.
Machines were upset, rolls turned
over, and, in one instance, a wheel
barrow was trundled through a door
Tbe iron machines and benches
were all thrown together in inextri
cable masses, under which several
of the men were buried.
The Philadelphia Time says:
"The Democratic organs of this State
are only hurting themselves and
their candidate for Stite Treasurer
by unfairly stating Colonel Quay's
military record. It is true that the
Republican candidate resigned pre
cisely six days before the battle of
Fredericksburg, on account of con
tinued ill health, but it is also true
that several days later, when he
learned that a battle was probable,
he returned to the camp and insist
ed on going to battle with his regi
ment Whatever Colonel Quay has
been or done since the war there is
no question as to his personal
bravery in the field, and attempts to
misrepresent it can only react on
those who make them."
The above is true, and tbe battle
referred to is that of Fredericksburg,
and after it Col. Quay was specially
complimented in general orders for
his bravery.
There was an immense Republi
can mass meeting held in Cincinnati
last week, far exceeding in numbers
any ot the Blaine meetings ot last
year. The desire of the thousands
present was to hear Senator Sher
man discuss the new form of in
equalities caused by the political
frauds in the South. He replied to
the speech of Judge Hoadly, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
and among other things said :
What did Judge Hoadly aay when he
All difference between Christian
L. Magee, whose candidate for the
State treasurership nomination was
defeated, and Colonel Quay, ho
defeated him, appear to have been
healed. Ihe young leader from
Pittsburg and the older statesmen
from Beaver were both registered at
the Continental Hotel yesterday,
and they spent several hours togeth
er in friendl7 chat Mr. Magee ar
rived in the city several days ago,
and on last t nday, in a long talk
with Chairman Cooper, renewed the
assurances of bis active support of
Quay. Yesterday these assurances
were repeated to Colonel Quay per
sonally. Mr. Magee said that Re
publicans in the Western part of the
State, especially in Allegheny, were
united, and that the full party vote
will be polled for the State ticket.

fiTTSBURO, uct o. ihe corner
stone of the old House of Refuge
at Woods Run disappeared when
the building were torn down to
make room for the Riverside Peni
tentiary. Last evening it was un
expectedly discovered in a mortar
covered, mud bespattered blook of
sandstone out of which a mason
was trying to chisel a piece of curb
ing. The first blow of the mallet
disclosed a carefully sealed opening
out ot which tumbled a flat tin box
about twice the size of an oyster
can. The box was found to contain
a plea for a reform school in Wes

building by J. W. Kerr ; a report of
the institution for 18o2 : copies of
the "Commercial Journal," Pitts

place named French, the bead or
baggage section broke in two while
going up a heavy grade and ten or
twelve can went flying back at a
terrific rate. On the rear of the train
were three sleeping cars, occupied
bv workmen, over 200 in number,
all of which were sound asleep and
not aware of impending aanger.
The cars which bad broken loose
increased their speed as they ap
proached the second section or cage
section, and probably had run a
mile before they struck it
The engineer of the rear section
saw the cars approaching, but bad
only time to stop his tram beiore h
struck him. The brakemen on the
loose cars tried to put on brakes,
but they had;difficultly in running
from car to car on account of the
wagons which impeded their pro-

was too late and the cars sti uck his

The result was soon apparent, as
more than 100 men were buried in
the debris. The scene can hardly
be described. The night was fearfuly
dark and the groans of tbe men
were appalling. The people in the
near vicinity at once began tbe work
of removing the victims nve oi

patched to this city and a train
in charge of Superintendent Vining
at once hastened to the scene, and
the dead and wounded were brought
here. The work of removing the
men from the debris was a sorry
task. A man alive and uninjured
was taken from under two dead ones
and it was simply a miracle that he
escaped.

Salt Lnkk City, U. Oct 2.
Edward Brain was convicted of un
lawful cohabitation to-day. His
latest wife, a Danish girl testified
freely as to their marital relations.
Brain made a long statement to the
Court, maintaining the truth of his
belief, of which he said he was as
sured by a direct revelation of God
to himself. His covenants, he said,
were made for all eternity and he
would stand by them at all hazards.
Judge Zane reminded Brain that
two of his wives in this "eternal cov
enant" of which he spoke were al
ready diyoroyd from him. , His first
wife was dishonest in her old age.
To talk of this being an "eternal
covenant' under divine command
was blasphemy, and be was tired of
hearing such hypocritical cant The
Court sentenced Brain to six month
in jail and pay a fine of f 300. .

Raleigh, NT. C. Sept 29. During
ing tbe night of Saturday, Decem
ber 24, 1883, Mrs. Olive Gunter, aged
89, and Miss Jane Gunter, aged 64,
were murdered at their home in the
McQueen Road, near Piltsboro. Mrs.
Gunter's grandaughter, a child of 8
years, was also beaten insensible,
and when she recovered her mind
was' a blank as o what bad happen
ed. On July 4, Edwin Finch, aged
70, Miss Susan Finch, aged 81, and
a negro boy who lived with them,
were found with their brains beaten
out at tbeir residence, which was
near that of the Gonters. It is be
lieved tbt all the crimes were com
mitted by tbe same persons, and
Jerry Finch and wife, who were for
merly slaves of Edwin Finch, Lee
Tyson and John Pattishall, all col
ored, were arrested and taken to the
Piltsboro jail. On the night of An
gust 24 disguised men took the wife
and sister of Jerry incb, hung
them to a limb of a tree and tried to
extort information from them as to
both murders, but they persisted in
declaring that tbey knew nothing.
DEMANDING TBE KEYS. .
Last night a large body of dis
guised and armed men rode up to
the jail and demanded the keys.
They were refused, and the door was
broken down with axes and the mob
rushed in. The negroes had been
awakened, and knew their doom was
at band. Harriet Finch screamed
so loud and long that she alarmed
the citizens, but it was too late;
the cell doors were broken down
and the four negroes each put on a
horse with a disguised man astride
behind each. The men made no
outcry save to protest their inno
cence, but the moans of Harriet were
heartrending. A mile was quickly
passed, and the cavalcade stopped
in a grove. The negroes were tied
bands and feet, and made to stand
up on their horses. They were giv
en five minutes to make any confes
sion and to pray. They protested
their innocence to the last and as
they prayed the horses were led out
from under them.
At noon to-dav the bodies were
still hanging, and were looked upon
by thousands. No caps had been
put over tbeir faces. Ihe men
looked natural, but the features of
Harriet Finch betokened abject ter
ror. In the opinion of tbe people
who have followed the investigation
step by step and are well acquainted
with the evidence, four innocent ne
groes have been hanged. It is as
serted that there was not suffcient
evidence for the grand jury to have
found a bill against any of the lynch
ed persons.
