Bk a p the ticket 'did not read "for

the Democratic candidate for Clerk of the

steps to contest the result with his sue
cewful Republican competitor, who was
elected by about ftti najority. He is not
likely to make much headway as it has
frequently lieen ileoided by the courts
that the intent of the voter is what must
be considered and h is very evident, no
matter what may have been the technical
defect in tlie Republican ticket, that a
majority of the voter of the county in
tended to elect tlie Republican to the of
fice. PswiiiKXTCif vela mi's Free-trade mes
sage will be found on another agv of
this paper. In more ways than one it is
one of the most remarkable documents
of the kind ever sent to an American
Congress. It is short and confines itxelf
strictly to the one topic that of reducing
the public revenue. All other questions
are excluded a of minor interest or im
portance Of all the messages that have
emanated from the White House there
bus not been one wt ojienly out and out
hostile to American capital and labor as
this. Not one that has so decidedly at
tacked the American system of manu
factures. He would let the entire system
of internal revenue stand and would reduce
the surplus by a broad, w holcsale slaugh
ter of the Protective duties. He declares
that the internal taxes affect nothing lint
iuxurii-a, and aims his whole blow at the
tariff laws. He w ould place wool, iron
ore, ooai and lumber on the free list and
would greatly reduce if he did not alto
getber abolish the duties on manufac
tured articles that are imported and come
into competition with our own American
manufactures. The President has placed
himself and party fairly and squarely on
Free-trade and bravely throws down the
yauge of battle. He is to be credited for
bis courage in attacking Irotection and
of inviting battle between American in
dustry and its opponents, between the
friends and the enemies of American
manufacturea, between the policy of Pro
tection and of absolute Free-trade. It
very questionable whether the President
will be able to carry with him a sufficient
number of his party in Congress to secure
legislation in acmrdance with his recom
mendations. Should he do an it would
possibly result in bis defeat for a re-nom-iuation.
Hi message, in all human
probability w ill secure the election of a
Republican to be his successor. The

there are grave objections to it. He

tvpe and the following is the way Sena
tor Inalls sird bim up in a conversa
tion ht-ld Friday, lie said :
" I presume Mr. Lamar will be confirmed, j
a be is bo vunc tban maoy othor appoint- j
menu the Presi.leM ha ten com pel lea u
make in the interests of his party in the
Snutb. Mr. Lamar ha been intimately and
prominently connected with political affairs
tr nearlv tliirtv Years. He never nas been
admitted to practice a', tlie Bar of the
stu-
preme Coon. He was only classified as a
lawyer, never having seriously engaged in
the practice of the professiim. In Congress
hefore the war he wis tlie mrt violent,
truculent and malevolent of all tlie secession
leaden in his avowed hostility to the Fniou
and liu advocacy of tlie constitutionality of
slavery sod seowoiou. Having been the
txMitidential friend of Jelfcrson Davis and
the Diplomatic aait of tlie C'on6Jeracy, at
the close of tlie war lie disappear.d from
public aflairs and became ideutified with a
provincial institution of learning in Mii
sippi a nominal Professor of Law. It is not
known that he ever apiwd in court in the
interval between the death of tlie Confeder
acy and hU re-entrance into public life, ex
cept todt-frnd murderers and assassins who
were charged with violating the election
laws and overthrowing by blood aud riot
the political riirlito of the froedroen of the
txmtli. Mr. Lamar entered the Senate a the
beneficiary of tilt most brutal and inhuman
conspiracy which ever disgraced hamaiiity.
It was Mtbwqueutly known as tlie Minsia
hippi plan, and was the invention of bis
qtiomlaiu collnigue, the pncul Senator, Mr.
(rforjie. Mr. Lamars political sincerity is
Hluttratcd by bis declaration in tlie Senate
that Ji-fforson Davis would occupy a niche in
history by tlie side of John Hampden and
ieorge Washimrton.and biHintcllectual dex
terity is evident by his eulogy of t'harles
Sumner in the North and John C. laliioun
in the South. He represents everjtliing bad
in the past, dangerous in the present, and
ominous in the future."
Ml Larmak's rank at the bar would
never have made him a Supreme Court
Judge. This is the testimony of many
who are familiar with lib-professional ca
reer, and who declare that his actual le
gal experience has been inconsiderable.
Mr. Lamar's still rebellious sentimentB, as
exemplified by his angry denunciation
only two wears ago of those who dared to
call Jefferson Davis "a traitor," do not
point to him as a man to be intrusted
w ith the decision of matters grow ing out
of the late w ar, ami his responsibility for
Mississippi repudiation is not reassuring
an tu the stand he might take upon similar
questions. It remains to lie seen wheth
er personal and social influence, and Sen
atorial good-fellowshsp, will make his
w ay to confirmation easy. Xetr Tori Tri
tnun. Ma. Rlaie is a private citiaen, at pres
ent travelinein Eurojie. The President of
the United States after some months of
incubation, delivers a stump speech on
the tariff, in place of the annual message
which bis official duty requires. Twenty
four hours after its publication in this
country there comes from Mr. BUine in
Europe a reply so thoroughly Ans?rican
in spirit, so keen in its comprehension of
American interests and needs, so accurate
in facts and so crushing and' complete in
its argument, that leading papers of the
party which support Mr. Cleveland do
not dare to place it before their readers.
His friends see that the reply will kindle
the enthusiasm of millions of Americans
fr the policy of the Republican party,
and for the strong leader who so swiftly
and surely represents American interests
and A ulerican thought Mr. Cleveland's
message not only divides and dismays his
friends, but delights the London newspa
pers and the British manufacturers.
The fatal blunder of Mr. Cleveland was
in attempting to make the people take it
for granted that duties for the protection
of home industry must be removed or
lowered, in order, to diminish the reve
nue. The people know better. Mr.
Klaine, three thousand miles away, tells
the President that taxes on tobacco and
on spirits used in manufacturea can be
cut off, and the tax on whiskey applied
to the defense of seaports, and that it is
simply inexcusable to retain internal war
taxes for no better purpose than to de
prive home ind wtries of the legitimate
measure of defence which a tariff ade
quate to raise the needed revenue would
give. Coast defence, so ably and elo
quently urged by Mr. Tilden, has never
lieen fairly considered by Mr. Cleveland,
and may easily be forgotten by a Presi
dent w ho values British commendation,
courts British favor, and considers Brit
ish rather than American interest.
lYotcction for home industries has not
been directly awaited by any President
expt Mr. Cleveland since Jauten Bu
chanan went out of office in disgrace. It
remains to be seen wln-ther President
Cleveland can with safety rely upon tle
influence of importing agent and foreign
manufacturers, even in New York and
New Jersey, to uphold him in trying to
break down the tariff which has so grand
ly developed and now defends American
industry. .V. Y. Tribune.

CtsctiOAU, Dec. 8. The Enquirer to-day

purport to have been sent while in jail by
ex-Vice President Harper, now on trial, to

was oonvspoudiuKlj kiud to Harper and be
came his mesneiucer to earrr tatera to and
from Miss Holmes. While performing this
office he began to suspect that Harper was
arranging to shirk upon his father the re
sponsibility of all transactions with the grain
brokers, and young Hopkins, to plane Har
per within his power, conceived the design
of concealing the letters and delivering ver
bal nxmiges only. In the Court room to
day Harper gaw bis usual polite attention to
his wife, and showed but little trace of trou
ble. His wife, however, sat like a statute,
as though oblivious to Iter surroundings.
There is no doubt of the authenticity of the

Wakhisc-tos, Dee. 8 -Cbicag., fbr the
third tiroa. has won the contest r the Re
publican Vational Convention priie. Three
ballots were required to determine the mat
ter, but the victory of the Windy City when
It was won was decisive. Jo we 19. liW, was
determined as tlie diue.
The committee met at the Arlington hotel.
Chairman Jones, in calling the meeting to
order, said :
' Gextlex k or tbc Committee: As sta
ed in the call, this meeting is fbr the .pur
poseof whs-ting a time and place for hold
ing theiext Kejroblifwn National Conven
tion ; also, to consider such oilier matter as
may be brought before It,"
As everything connected, however re
motely, with the government of this great
country is important, our action to-day may
have far-reaching results. We should, there
fore, carefully consider such subjects as may
be brought before us. that we may decide
wisely."
We may congratulate ourselves on the
improved prospect of the Republican parry
since the National Committee met in thia
city four years ago for the same purpose that
we are now assembled. At that time the
majority against tlie Republican party in the
North at the last preceding general ate
elections counted up into the hundreds of
thousands. The great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio had Democratic
Governors. Sew York's waa elected by
nearly 300,000 plurality, which wa reduced
for the same candidate at the Presidential
election to leas than, 1.100.
" Though by accident tbe Democratic par
ty have tlie Presidency and the prestige of
success, the signs are auspicious for the elec
tion of a Republican President in ls8. Tlie
momentum acquired by 25 years of the prev
alence of Republican principles has not yet
lost its force, and the material interests of
the country are still pnwiering as the result
of Republican industrial lejpslagation. Re
cent utterances, however, indicate a deter
mination to end this pKnerity by adverse
legislation forced nioii tbe country by an
administration hostile to American indus
try ; and also indicate the necessity of the
return to power of the Republican party in
tbe National Government so that American
industry, wool growing and sugar raising,
equally with iron making and textile pro
duction, may have continued proarity,
and the employes constant employment and
continued good wages, such as American
workmen should receive."
CHKAlio'S fSfAL IXCK.
The committee adjourned tc the r.Kims of
the National Republican Ijeague, the claims
of the various cities were heard and the vo

On tbe first informal ballot the vote stood:

On tbe next ballot tlie vote stood : Chica

On the third ballot Chicago received 25,
one more than a majority ; Cincinnati 13,
Minneapolis s and Omalial. Subsequently
this vote, on motion of Mr. Morey. of Lou

Quite a long discussion followed a motion
to admit six dclegat-t-!arKe from Dakato
to the National Convention. This proosi
tion was finally amended, and as adopted
allows Dakota and Washington Territory
each four contingent delegates in addition to
tlie two tegalar delegates. T:ie dutirman
and secretary of tbe committee were then
instructed to prepare the call lor the conven
tion. A request from tlie National Republi
can League of Washington to be permitted
to docamiin work in the Southern States
under the direction of Natiotud Committee,
was grunted. General Syplier, of the Lnurie,
announced that with these instructions the
League contemplated doing campaign work
witli tariff documents in some of the South

National Committee.

WHAT BLAINE SAYS.
HI View on Cleveland' Extraor
dinary Maaaac Rapoal the To
bacco Tax but Lat That on
Whiakey Ramain. .
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Tribvu cables a report to that paper, giving
the views of Mr. Blaine on the President
message.
Mr. Biaine said to the TVAwm representa
tive: I have been reading an abstract of tbe
I'resident's message and have been especial
ly interested in the comment of the London
papers. Those papers all assume to declare
the message is a free trade manifesto, and
evidently are anticijwtiug an enlarged mar
ket for english fabrics in the United Slates
as a consequence of the President's racom
niendations. Perhaps thai fact stamped tbe
character of the message more clearly than
any words of mine can."
You don't mean actual free trade without
duty ? " queried the reporter.
' No,'' replied Illaine. " Nor do the Lon
don paiKTS mean that. They simply mean
that the President has recommended what in
the flitted States is known as a revenue tariff,
rejecting the rotective feature as an object
and not even permitting protection to result
freely as an incident to revenue duties."
" 1 do not know that I clearly comprehend
that last point," said the reporter.
"I mean," said Mr. Blaine, "that fbr the
lira time in the history of the Cnited States
tiie President recommends retaining the in
ternal tax in order that the tariff may be
fumed down even below the fair revenue
standard. He recommends that the tax on
IoIhicco be retained, and thus that many mil
li.HiM annually shall be levied on a domestic
product which would far better come from a
tariff on foreign fabrii-s."
I favor the repeal of the tobacco lax."
said Mr. Klaine, " and I would ure that it
be done nt once, even before the Christmas
holi.biys. It would, in the first place, bring
great relief to growers of tolmcco all over the
country and would materially lessee the
price if the article to consumers. Tobacco
to millions of men is a necessity. The Pres
ident calls it a luxury, but it is a luxury in
no 'thcr sense than tea and coffee are luxu
ries. Tue only excuse for such a tax is the
actual necessity under which the govern
ment fou id itself during the war and the
year's immediately following. Toietain the
tax now in order to destroy the protection
which would incidentally flow from raising
the same amount of money on foreign im
ort is certainly a most extraordinary poli
cy fi;r our government."
' would you advise tbe repeal of the
wlo-key tax alsti, Mr. Blaine?"
' N il would not. Other eoni.lerdtioiis
than those of financial administration are to
U- tiiken in account with regard to wRiskey.
Tl.fie is a moral aide to it. To chcaie!i the
!-'. of whi'-ki-y is to increase the consump
tion , iiormously. There wi u Id lie no sense
in iirintr. the reform wrought bv high li-cei;-e
ill other State it" the Nation:;! Govern-lni-;it
neutralizes the good effect by making
whiskey within the reach of every one nt Jit
cents a gallon. Whiskey would be every
V. here distilled if the surveillance of the gov
ernment were withdrawn by the remission
of the tax, and illicit sales could not then lie
prevented even by a policy as rigorous and
searching as that with which Russia pursues
the Nihilist. It would destroy high license
at once in all the States. Whiskey has done
a vast deal of harm in tlie Vnited Slates. I
would try to make it to do some good. I
would use the tax to fortify our cities on the
seaUwrd. In view of the powerful letter al
dresseil to tbe Democratic party ntilbesub
jst of fortification by the late Samuel J.
Tiiden in IntA. I am amazed that no atten
tion has been imid to tbe subject by tlie
IVnioeratic administration."
Further, Mr. Blaine informed the Tribmtt
representative that he would maintain the
tax on whiskey " so long as there was any
whi.-key to tax, and when the National Gov
ernment would have no use for the money I
would divide the tax among the Federal
Vnion with the sjieeilic object of lightening
the tax on real estate. Tlie bouses and farms
of the whole country pay too large a propor
tion of the total taxes. If ultimately relief
could be given in that direction it would in
my judgment, be a wise and bcne6cent
policy." "
Presidential Nominations.

Senatorial courtsey." which has usually
led to tbe compliment of a confirmation
without reference lo a committee when a
Senator or ex-Senator has been nominated
to any otlier office, has never prevailed iu
respect to nominations to positions of the
bench of tlie Snpreme Court. The last case
preceding that of Mr. Itnar was that of Mr.
Conkling. who had been out wf tlie Senate a
much shorter period than that of Mr. Lamar.
Mr. Conkling' nomination was sent to the
Judicary Committee and reported back. He
was con tinned by tlie .Senate and then de
clined tiie office. It is probable that the
nominations sent to the Senate will not be
formally laid before the body until tae com
mitters are formed.
M r. Dickinson will he the youngest mem
ber of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. He was

went to Michigan when Don was a small
boy. The ir Postmaster General was
educated at the State t'niyersity at Ann

later he receivsd his diploma from tlie kiw
school and began to practice. He took into

Preaa Comments on the Measace.
Cleveland M;nr (Rep ): The Democratic
S party ha? not. ince the war, dared to come
; out so opeuiy in favor of a reduction of the
tariff. - :
Omaha fcywWirw Rep There i no
statement tn the message favoring tariff for
revcRueonly that has not been met by con
vincing counter Matemenui. ;
St. Louis KrjMbXcaM (Im.(: The Presi
dent's messai.'e means business. Mr.. Ran
dall must frll in or fall out. He can do
either he pleat, but he must do one or the
other. . ' - ;' . " " ' ; .. ' '"" .
Detroit Tr&wu (Rep.j: Thanks, Mr.
Cleveland, for the issue yon have raised.
On that itie the Republican party will
gladly do battle in 18 and win in every
Northern Slate. - ,
New York Saw (Dem.) : It i a hold thing
to do, and the President deserves credit fbr tbe
plainness of his speech. Nobody can accuse
him of hedging, of haggling, or juggling with
words.
New Orleans !jtaia (Dem.) : In short, it is
a sound, healthy Democratic document, and
outlines the plan of campaign by which the
Democratic President must be elected next
year.
Kausa City Jjumal (Rep.): The Presj-
I dent's message is a confession, in three col
j umns, of tbe incompetency of the party
j which is now responsible for the management
I of tlie government,
I Philadelphia -Yorta American ( Rep j : Tlie
country now knows exactly where Mr.
Cleveland stands, and if it doea not approve
! of his position, it aiso knows just what to do
I when the proper time arrive.
Atlanta Vwutitulknt (Dem.) : That a man
of practical common sense like Cleveland
should walk into such a trap is surprising,
but he has not walked in without a protest,
as hia reference to the Chicago platform
shows.
New York Keening (Mugwump) : Mr.
Randall and his handful, who have fought
ever)' change in the tariff, large und small
may now go over to the enemy. There is
no more room for them in any party which
sustains Mr. Cleveland.
Hartford OmntHt ( Rep.) : It is a free trade
argument all the way through, and w hile he
l bypoicritieally begs that free trade and pro
; lection be dmpjied from discussion, tiie fact
i remains that every argument he makes ia
'' directly an argument for free trade
ftostoti TVoreUo-fRep.) : His grossest blun
der is when he says that "the question of
free' trade is absolutely irrelevant." The
i vital issue is free trade versus protection.
; The President has rendered one imimrtant
! service in that he has made this issue dis-
tinct.
; Pittsburg Vommertvil Guette- (Rep.): In
i other words, a wholly unnecessary tax is to
he contined on wlii-ky and tobacco that a
I democratic free trade administration may
strike deadly blows at the manufacturing.
) mining, aud agricultural industries of the
j country.
New York Timet i Mugwuiup) : If the pro
j tectionist in the Democratic party carry out
I their own diirea, or to do what they have
, continually declared that they would do,
i Mr. Cleveland has done the one thing by
i which he conld imperil the prospect of his
j own rcnomiiiation.
1 Atlanta Constitution (Dem.) : The message
of the President concerns itself solely with
I the tariff question, and he discusses almost
j exclusively from the standpoint of Brc'r
Bill Morrison, of Illinois, who was let at
j home by his esteemed constitutents, on ao
i count of his extreme views.
New Orleans Timer-Uemocrai (Dem.) : We
'. do not agree with the Pcresideiit in regard
to the non-reduction of the tobacco tax. It
is true that tobacco is not a necessity, but
! the tax is troublesome and burdensome to
the agricultural producer, and Cost of its
j collection is considerable.
Indianapolis Jimmnl : Politically, the mes
sage is a terrible arraignment of the Demo
cratic party. Tbe Democracy have for sev
eral years had control of the House of Repre
sentatives, where alone revenue measures
can orginate. They have neither amended
the tariff nor made any honest effort to do
so.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. (Rep.): Tlie
Republican party would reduce the revenue.
Mr. Cleveland's recommendations, while
attacking American industries, would in
crease the revenue. Thus, while home labor
would be impoverished, there would be an
increase rattier than a reduction in the
revenue.
Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.) : To the
party itself the President's message makes
clear that in 1HKS it will he tariff reform or
nothing. No words could have been spoken
which will so effectually ecfcrelhe harmony
which so many de-ire as the clear, bold,
emphatic declaration of party principle and
party purpose coming from the President.
New York Tribune (Rep.) : Credit is due to
the President for making tbe issue boldly
and distinctly, so that no man ran hereafter
claim, with a show of reason, that the the
ories and aims of ultra opxinents of pro
tection have not in him a nealous advocate.
On the iasue thus presented, the people can
not dcchle too soon, and upon their decision
will largely depend their future prosperity.
Philadelphia Year (Rep.) : Mr. Cleveland
has fixed the position of his party, and there
is no escaw from it. Few even of those who
fully agree with him would have ventured
as far as he has gone, but now that he has
plunged into the abyss they must follow
him. The small band of Democratic protec
tionists are left stranded and homeless, but
tlie Democratic tarty must go with the
President .
New York 'nm (Rep.): Upon the whole
the message is a declaration in fav.or of tariff
fbr revenue only, and as such it must be re
garded. If Mr. Cleveland is to tie the
nomiuee of the Democratic rty in 1484 tiie
protection ami free-trade issue will be clearly
drawn. His utterances are those of a free
trtfler, his arguments are in the same line,
and to put his pniioals into execut ion would
ilesimy American, industry, turn our home
market over to foreigners, and reduK tlie
com pensat ion of those who labor for a liv
ing. '
Anarchist Most'a Sentence.
New York, Dec. 8. Johann Most, the Au
arehist, who was convicted of misdemeanor,
was arraigned in the Gene ral Seasions Court
to-day. His counsel, Mr. Howe, argued for
a new trial, contending that Most had not
been convicted on any fair evidence, but
that an unfair prejudice had been instilled
into the case. Assistant District Attorney
Nicoll said in reply that be hoped Judge
Cowing would not subvert all precedents of
law by reviewing the verdict.
Judge Cowing said he would deny the mo
tion. I Hit that he would grant a certificate to
tbe Supreme Court In General Terra, when
the whole case might be heard.
When the Clerk of tbe Court asked Moat
what be had to say why sentence should not
be pronounced on him Most appealed to the
Judge to use his discretion in setting aside
the verdict and protested his innocence, say
hht conviction had been brought about by
perjury and prejudice. Judge Cow ing's only
reply was: "The sentence of the Court is
thai you be confined in the penitentiary ior
a period of one year without the fine."-
A Pistol in the French Deputies.
Paxes, Dec. 10 M. Jules Ferry was fired

THRU IPCSTANT DECISIONS.
Validity of the Prohibition Law In
Kansas Affirmed.
The first opinion was read by Justice
Matthew. nd was concurred in by all the
other JaMticea except Harlan., It sustains
tlie position of the State of Virginia in what
is familiarly known as the "coupon case."
and reverses the position assumed toward
Slate authorities by the Circuit Jud:e Bond,
'wis canned certain of them to be Imprisoned
for disobeying a restraining order forbidding
them lo bring uits fbr the collection if
taxes in case where tenders have been made
of tax receivable coupons cut from State
bonds. The Supreme Court, in other words,
now decides that the Federal power cannot
be legally exercised to prevent the State of
Virginia from po railing any course she may
choose with regard to her State debt, which
was a contract made, not by individuals
with individuals, but by outside individuals
with a State. The imprisoned officials are,
therefore, discharged ; and the effect of the
decision, in tlie second place, upon the debt
question, will undoubtedly be to settle that
question finally and forever. The English
creditors will now probably accept the set
tlement offered them by the last Legislature
of Virginia, and thus end this vexatious
matter.
The other decision was of yet greater im
portance, sustaining, as it did, the constitu
tionality of the prohibitory law of Kansas.
It will be remembered thai this was regarded
as a test case, involving the right of a State
or other community to pass laws calculated
to break up an established business, like
that of liquor selling. It was claimed on be
half of the liquor interest, that in cases
where liquor seller's business had been in
terferred with by such laws, they were
entitled to coniiensation, and that proh ibi
tory laws were unconstitutional, because
they abridged the liberty of the citizen and
destroyed his property without due cause.
The Court held that the right of determining
w hat measures are necessary for the preserva
tion of the public morals, health and salVty
had therefore been vested in the States by
the constitutional right given them under
the police power to regulate their owu in
ternal concerns. The State of Kansas had a
right to prohibit the liquor traffic. It did
not thereby take away tbe projierty of the
brewers. It simply abated a nuisance. The
property is not taken away from its owners ;
they are only prohibited from nsing it for a
specific purpose which the Legislature de
clared to be injurious to the comunity. If
the Supreme Court had sustained this claim
it is hardly iiossihle to estimate the conse
quence. The damages due to liquor sellers
in State where prohibitory laws have been
already enforced would have probably mount
ed into hundreds of millions of dollars, in
volving many communities and States in
prospective bankruptcy ; the Prohibition
party would have been given it coup de
grace, and there would have been othei im
portant and far-reaching consequences. Hut
the Supreme Court, it apiwarc. decides the
other way. It says Justices Harlan de
livering the opinion that a State, in the
exercise of its police power, has a right to
suppress the liquor traffic, if it considers that
tartttc subversive of public jieace or morality
and that in that case the parlies whose busi
ness is injured have no claim to damage or
compensation. This will undoubtedly rank
in future as a notable decision and prece
dent. In the case of William H. Council colored
vs. the Western i& Atlantic Railroad Com
pany, llie inter-atatc commerce commission
has decided that colored ieople may he
aligned separate care on equal terms, with
out disadvantage to either race, ami with i
increased comfort to both ; that the car j
furnish colored people, who buy first class j
tickets, accommodations equally safe and I
comfortable with other first-class assen
gers. .
Literally Roasted Alive.
Whkeusu, W. V., Dec. 9. John Hagger
ty, an emloye of the Wheeling Company's
steel plant, met with an accident this morn
ing which, while leaving him with slender
hold uon life, was of the most horrible na
ture. Haggerty is a shear man, and stepped
too dose to a pair of rolls just as a white hot
steel ingot had been passed between them.
He was knocked, down and the ingot, from
which little rivulets, of melted steel were
tricking, slid across his body. Haggerty
was mil noticed however, and the ingot was
reversed and again passed through the rolls,
resting as liefore upon the poor man's body.
It was then that he was first seen, hut not
until he had placed his naked hands against
the hot metal, and attempted to push the
ignot from him.
Wlien removed the bones were sticking
through the flesh, which was litterully fried
and was banging from him in shreds. At
his left knee, where the protruding bone
come in contact with the ignot, it is burned
lo a brown color. His death is a question
of but a few hours.
Another Plea for Weston.
Habrihbcbc, l'a., lw 8. Au application
to the Pardon Ikwni for a relit-nriug in the
case of Milton Weston was filt'l today by
Mayor Mct'allin and Colonel Gray, of Pitt
bury:. The rwtsons iriven arv tliut the im
prisonment Weston brut suffered is Minlcieiit
punishment, and that at the former hearing
opponents of the application rave as a rea
son against pardon that Weston should have
been convirted of a higher grade of erime
than involnntary manslaughter, whereas
the finding of the jury slioiil.l he taken a
conclusive on that point.
