He did not discuss the tariff ijui-stioii to
any gnat extent, saying that he thought
tiiat ijuestioii well understood already in
l'i;tsliurg, a city founded and built and
nourished on pmtectioii. On the se-oiil
I point, he said Unit tlie Nation s comnienv

j nsmgiiizing the equality of all iiilen-sts iu

j Sjs-akiug ou the temperance ipu-stion he
j said : ' The object of the Republican jiaily,
as I understand it, is fodivonv this question

lature to the vote of the ptsiple, irnvH-ct ive

I the Constitution which shall cover the cn-
tire (iiiestioii. If the majority of the people
are ill fax or of such an amendment to the

right and should have the privilege of saying
so. If the majority of the tn-oplc are oppos

Mr. Kiack says in hi letter of acccptaiKe
that he is opiscd to "sumptuary laws."
while he also is "in favor of laws, however

Iu concluding he defended the rights of

when an old soldier in rand Anny uniform

when General Logan was introduced. He

He commenced his address; by sieakiug of
the pleasure ri fforiIed him to appear before
a Pittsburgh audience. He reviewed the
history of tlie Rejsuhlican and Democratic
rtieji, and excused himself lor treating of
tlie past on the ground that that jieriod
showed w liat partie amounted to. He analy
zed the financial theories) and practices of the
two wrtie and devoted a large share of his
talk to the discussion of tlie tariff question.
Coming to the present Adininistratioiu be
arraigned it for it false economy and the
crashing of the gnat shibuihier.
Then lie touched ou the veto of the 102

to the expenditure of money to the relief of

liKs-VKB. Od., Sept. 2:1. A shocking atfair
ojx-urnsi on the Whittemore ranch, near (iol
deii. at an early hour yesti-nlay morning.
H. B. Whittemore, while in bed shot his
wife twice, thinking she was a burglar. One
liall entensl the left side of her liack and the
other the right shoulder-blade. The story
of the slnsiting as told by Whittemore is as
follows :
" When we retin-d I had with which
I intended to liy a debt. This I hid just
la-fore 1 went to sleep. I remember my w ife
said she could not Is-ar the new flannels she
had ou and would change them. About 1
o'diM-k in the morning I was suddenly
awakeiasl by a noist- in the riiom and saw a
dark fonii la-twecn me and the w indow. I
immediately tl ought of my money, and was
certain that I- rglars wen-in the house. I
raised my-lf in la-d and fired. The figure
came straight toward me and I finsl again.
We then clinched, and I discovenil it was
my w ife, who had got up to change her flan
nels and whom I had mistaken for a thief."
Mrs. Whittemore, ill whosp presence the
slory w as told, was asked if it was i-orrect.
She maided assent and tried to s-ak, but
could not. although she made the uiost pit
eous attempt to do so. The husband is
almost crazed with grief over the unfortu
nate affair. No arrests w ill I made, as
everylsaly is wnvinced that the shooting
was entirely accidental. The physicians say
it is iniissible for the woman to recover.
Diseased Cattle.
Washington, I. C, Sept. 2a. Commis
sioner Colnian, of the Iciartmeiit of Agri
culture, w ho sent Dr. Salmon, of the IlurcaU
of Animal Industry, to Chicago to ascertain
if the disease that has broken out there is
pleuro-pneuiuouia, received by telegram to
lay the follow ing rejsirt :
"There is no doubt that the cattle disease
here is plcuro-piieunionia ; authorities find
much difficulty in dealing with it. Scvelity
tive thousand dollars' worth of cattle are to
he slaughtered, and less than fifty thousand
dollars are available in the State appnipria
tion. The Department cannot faiy for dis
eased cattle here because the State law te
qtiire their slaughter without conia-nsutinn.
i have offered for the Dejiartmciit to meet
the exis-iises of slaughter, excepting the
o-mia-nsition of ow ners, disinfecting, and
also to make an iiisjas-tion of susjax-teil dis
tricts. Do vmi approve of what I have done?
The State Commission is now arranging do
tails of slaughter."
Commissioner Column sent the following
reply :
"Telegram received and your action ai
proved. You are also authorized to take any
steps ilcctncd necessary and exMient to
still further confirm your diagnosis and sat
iety the most exacting that the disease is

Exhaustingthe Supply of Pine Lum
ber. t uiCAiai, Sept. 24. The Lumlarr Manufac
turers' Assiaiation laigan it annual conven
tion here to-day. The President, Mr. A. C.
Van Schaick, in his address to the Conven
tion, said :
"The timber supply of the Northwest Ls
Car too small for the pnispective demand.
Minnesota has not sufficient pine timU-r for
the future wants of her jasiple alone. Wis
consin could not Msihly supply the entire
future demand from IHikota, Iowa. Nebras
ka. Kansas, and Missouri and what her own
aople will consume. And how long could
Michigan ami Canada supply the demands
from the remaining Suites and the exsirt
trade with white pine?
S-cn'tary Hotchkiss said in his report thi-t
if the estimate supplied by individuals were
correct, the lumber pnshiciug region of the
Northwest had on Sept, 1st, a huge-up stock
of fnmi one and a quarter tti one and a half

Ex-President Arthur's Health.
New Yokk, Sept. SI. Kx-Presidcnt Arthur
has decided to return to New York on Mon
day and occupy his house on Lexington av
enue thus winter. Sherman W. Knevals
sa-tit Sunilay with him at New Loudon. He
says that the ex- President's health due not
show any improvement, neither can he be
considered worse, than when he left New
York. He is certainly somewhat thinner,
and is confined to his chair the greater art
of the time, but his appearance would not
lead a stranger to think him an extremely
sick man. His skin is fresh and nisy as ev
er. He no longer sutlers from insomnia, his
apjs-tile is only occasionally capricious, and
he is bright and cheerful. He take a lively
interest not only iu his own personal affairs
but in all the Hiblic questions of the day.

WONDERFUL ELECTRIC STORM.
Lima. U.. Sept. 24. A severe stonu of ruin
wind ami lightning burst over this city at 7
o'clock this moming. The lightning struck
one of the oil wells on the Bmtherton trail
and set fire to the oiL Tlie flame quickly
spread to several adjoining tanks containing
about 3.4O0 barrels of oil, all of which was
consumed. The dames and thick smoke
from his an!higratiou,accomiuiy the storm
had a terrifying effect upon tlie tx-ople. Ex
plosions occurred at frequent intervals, ad
ding to the excitement. All the machinery
and tanks at the well referred to were des
tniyed. Alajut 1 o'clock lightning struck and set
fire to the gas works oil well, and 1,2.! bar
rels of oil iu tlie tanks, together w ilh tlie
derricks and machinery, were siaiu consum
ed. The gas works were saved with ditticul
ty. The blazing oil ran iu all dipvlions,
threatened a general conflagration. The
railniad bridge taught fire several times, but
by great exertion this and other structure
were saved front total destruction.
Late iu the afternoon a dense column of
black smoke anise in a southeasterly direc
tion fmm the city, and it was reported that
the five wells known as IJow man's Holmes,
Mcljiin, Hoylc and Sluakey's, hadbceii set
on tire by lightning and were burning out.
Meanwhile rain continued to tall all itay in

Frigmtened by a Fool.
C,haki.i:sTon, Sept. Si. The Wiggins pre
diction has done more to unnerve tlie jasiple
of Charleston than all the siesmic disturii
ances that have occured finceSept 1. It Is
useless to say that there can be no founda
tion for the prediction. Kven men who
know the utter alisunlity of it, but who have
Imvcii through the earthquake, were unnerved
at reading it. The w omen and children w ere
utterlv pnis! rated by it. The Xnaawl four
far this morning tried to show- the Wiggins
prophecy to la- without fouiidation. hut then
is no use to attempt to argue with men,
women and children w ho have ls.-n living

Afraid of Thieves.
Boston, Sept. 24. Edward Watson, an
aged man living in Prultville, Chelsea, w ho
has accumulated over il2,nno by hard lalair
for over forty years, lately became a mono
maniac on money, proliably fmm reading
the press notices relating to the large
amounts of funds embezzled by bank officers
and treasurers of corporation. He thought
that his money was not sate out of his ais
sessiitn. and that the flunk would 1st- stolen
from him. A few weeks since he had manu
factured a small, solid cast-iron laix of double
thickness, lined with metal.
He placed his money iu the same, scaled
it so as to maks it air ami water-tight, anil
then dug upni his premises, lisatioli not
known, a large spiu-e over 2U feet dt-ep, laid
stone ami brick embankments, firmly ce
mented the hohs, and dcjaisitcd his treasure
box. Near the top of the vault lie plaits I.
alsmt a tiait la-low the ground level, a heavy
flat stone, and then tilled ill with small
stones, cemented and soldered. ' He says
that none of the world's a-ople will ever
fiini the hidden treasure until he has a.sscd
fraiii this world.
Huntingdon Veterans.
Hr.vrisoooN, Pa., Sept. 2;. The soldiers'
encampment to-day was again the means of
drawing thousands tif Strangers to this city,
and t he exen-iscs were all that could la d
sinsl. Reunions, sham liatiles, dress parades
and satvhes were the onler of the ilay.
The sham buttle on the Fair gmuihls
was Kirticiuifd in by :i veterans, and the
manlier iu which the rifles, canes and big
lire-crackers were flourished was quite war
like. Three meiulH-rs of the Isaac Rogers i
Post, of Orbisonia. were pretty severely ill- I
jun-d during the battle, two by having their
face bunied wilh laiwdcr fnun the artillery,
aiid the other suffered a deep pish in the
forehead by the butt of a rifle. Thiscveniiig
a performaui-e was given in the Oja-ra house.
The eiicainpmt-ut has la-cn a great suct-ess in
every resa-ct, and it is altogether pmliable
that it will be held annually at some central
point.

in a quarrel. He was arrested, uud placed
in jail in the adjacent town of Ketmett. Oil
Sunday night the Sheriff of Ilttiikliu county,
with a posse, left Ketmett with the prisoner,

Alsmt five miles fmm Maiden the party was
met by alaiut lim masked men, who demand

and a few mills farther ou lie was hanged to

body was cut ihiw n and buried at Maiden.
I'axton was a man of considerable wealth
and stiaal high iu the community. He hail
employed the lavst lawyers, who had arrived
at Maiden. His wealth and sis ial standing,
the array of legal talent and other ilidka

The Situation at Charleston.
Cbaki.ks-toii. September 24. There was no
earthquake shiak here to-day. but the fears
of nervous -ron itave been greatly excited
by alartniiig report fmm Sumnierville.
where, it is said, two distinct vibration were
felt . -
G. B. Newonnib, an employe of the North
western Railway Conijwiiy. reports that the
foliage on many of the trees in the neighbor
IhkkI of Ten-Mile Hill has been killed by tlie
water which spouted up from the sand cra
ters on the night of tlie earthquake. He ex
amined the country immediately east of the
railmod track for a distance of half a mile
and found it badly torn up by fissures. One
of the rent seemed to extend acre the
whole an, being four feet wi.le at some
idace and marked at intervals by hole
fmm which water had evidently siamied.
The foliage on many of the young pine trees
in the neighlairhoial had la-cn w ithcred and
killed by the water.
One of the great evils that have followed
in the train of the recent calamity is tlie in
flux of large numbers of idle negna.- from
the surrounding country. They have been
attracted by the hope of free rations. and they
lounge about the streets in gmtips. But few
of them are willing to work. -A striking il
lustration of this aversiou to labor wais given
liwlay. A crowd of the bummers was ap
pmached by s man w ho announced kit he
wanted some laborer and asked if any of
I hem w auled to work. One of the rmwd
baikcd up lazily and remarked : "How
much dia-s you caikellate to pay ? ' " What
wages do you want?" " Dollar' n a half."
replied the negro. " All right come along
eight of you," said the man, thinking that
he had secured his men. Only one mall fol
lowed him. The other sat quietly on the
sidewalk and went on scowling and "look
ing ou."
A Strange Tragedy.
Kky Wkst, Fla., Sept. 2.'v.. A singular
story reaches here from a charcoal camp on
Pine Key. Day before yestenlay, a man
named Ciaqa-r visited lainaldson's camp,
when the latter asked him to return a knife
which he had lairrowed a few days la-fore.
Caia-r threw it on the fliair, saying: "There
it is." Doiialsou' picked it up and walked
alsmt twenty feet fmm camp, when without
any warning Cai-r shot him in the hack,
and when he fell he ntu up to him saying :
" You aim tk-ad. I'll finish you."
" Doiialsou Issggisl fir his lite, and Caia-r
left, saying: " Lie there ami slitter am! die."
OaiaT then re-liaidetl his douhhsbarrcieil
gnu w ith buckshot and went to tlie camp of
Bain and Hunter. Bain was cooking in
front of his tent, w hen, w ithout any warn
ing, be was shot iu tlfe Ikiwi-Is. tearing out
his cutmiis. Bain cried out : " Why did
you shiait tne? Did 1 ever harm you '.'
Caia-r ansft'cnsl : "No, I only sltut you
to plca.se my own mind."
Ciaiper again loadtsi his gun and went to
the front of the tent when Hunter, who w as
inside, attempted to run, but was shot
through the heart and instantly kilieil. A
limn named Carey, who was out in a laxu.
heard the shots and came ashore, when Ciaie
cr ran him into the woiaU. He went down
to tlie iamp of some other men. and came
luck with them and hmught the dead and
Wounded men to Key West. Cooper left in
a I mat . A reward of sl is olicred for the
rapture of the murderer.
Another account states that Ciai'a-r mine
lo Pine Key fmm the Bahama Islands and
entered a homestead, from which for months
iast the men he killed have la-cn trying to
drive him, in onler to secure it for them
selves. D-s-aTH!.oii, caused by the la-rsis-teniy
of their alleged ja-rsecutioii, is given
as the cause of the tragedy by the account.
