Four Roasted to Death.
u-Ki.!iiu. W.Ya.. Mav 30. A terrible
holocaust occurred at an early hour this
morning at Taylorstown, Wa-bington coun
ty. Pa., in which four persons lost their lives
and five others narrowly escaped a horrible
dth. This morning about 1 o'clock Joe
MK'nlluni, of the village of Taylorstown
discovered a house in the west end of the
town to lie in flames. He immediately gave
the alarm and everthing was done to ex
tineuis!i the damn, but they had gained a
Mnmc headway, a'ld the house, which was
asinzle story frame, burned like tinder.
When an excited crowd had gathered around
the burning building they discovered with
horror that the occupants were still within
and although every effort that human power
could make was exerted to save the unfortu
nute beings, onlv partial success was attain
e l. The building which stands off to itself
was occupied by Henry Phillips, an oi
driller, his wife and family of six children
Five of the children were awakened in time
to make their escape thiwgh the windows.
One of the five, a boy. however was serious
ly burned, and dii-d one hour later. Mr.
Phillip and his wife had b.n sleeping very
soundly. They, and a saiall son were too
late to escape the flames, and they were liter
ally roasted to death lx fore the eyes of the
horrified spectators who couid do nothing
to save them, as the building by this time
was a mass of flames. George W. Heigner,

and he also escaped w ith his life. A late
dispateh received from Taylorstowu this
evening savs that Phillips, his wife and
Heigner had all been drinking to excess and
were beastly drunk last night. The charred
remains of a beer keg were found lying be
tween the bodies of rhillips and his wife.
It is supposed that an oil lamp was upset by
them into a batket of shavings.
The Farmers' Alliance tiovernDr of
South Carolina has repudiated the third

candidate for Governor of Minnesota last
fall has pronounced the third party

Alliance interests. President Livingston

there will be no third party in the South
in 18'.'2as far as the Presidential election
is concerned, aud that the South will be
Kolidly Democratic as usual. The new

These bills comprise the important work

A Louisiana Horror.
New Orleans, May 31. The fact of th
lynching of a negro, Tump Hampton, in
Claiborne pariah has been mentioned by the
press, but not until to day were the facts re
ceived by Gov. Nicholls. The information
frjm the penitentiary officials is to the effect
that last yeai Hampton, who wai a resident
of Claiborne parish, was suspected by h
white neighbors of complicity in a hog steal
ing case, and they went in a body one i-ight
to his house for the purpose of correcting or
lynching bim. He warned them from his
house and on their persisting in the attack he
shot and killed one of the members of the
party .
This dispersed the crowd for the night, but
the next day Hampton was arrested for the
killing. An attempt was made to enter the
jail and lynch bim, hot the plans of the
mob were thwarted by the prompt action of
the plieriff. Hampton got a rhangx of yenqc
and stood trial for the killing aud ws ac
quitted. He was immediately rearrested for
bog stealing, and fearing that he would be
lynched if be remained in jail pending trial,
be pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one
year, and the sheriff delivered him at the
penitentiary at once and the lynchers were
again prevent! frou doing any violence.
The crowd was determined to avenge the
killing of their friend, and waited patiently
until Hampton had served out his sentence,
when they had bim arrested on an affidavit
sworn out before a justice of the paoe on
the day of his discharge. 1'pon bis arrival
in Claiborne he was met by an armed mob,
who took him from the constable and burn
ed bird to death. The neit day nothing
could be found of Hampton except a heap
of ashes and a pair of burnt handcuffs.
Has&isbi bo. May The Legislature ad
journed to-day at noon, afier mora than
Ave mouths' session, and now it ia to be
judged by its fruits. The following is a sum
mary of legislation as it reached the Gov
ernor :
Total number of bills received in
414 : approved by the Governor, 122 ; recall
ed, 12 ; vetoed, 17 ; total, 151 ; in Governor's
hands, 2Td ; n solutions, 37.
Il has been a sesr.ion of long and t"nsiliie
debate and of the introduction of measures,
many of which never thould have been wrt
teu, but they will likely bob up at the next
session.
The principal measures parsed were the
Hoyer Tax Revenue bill, the Ballot Reform
bill, the Constitutions! Convention bill, the
Congressional and Legislative Apportion
ment measures and tha Appropriation bills.
Easeett s Trfform bill had a tight squeeze,
and it passed only when, during the closing
hours of the session, the Senate receded from
a position it had taken.
Politically there were troublous femes du
riiR the session, and despite the nicely turn
ed phraser and compliraeLta to-day, that
onld indicate the Democrats and Kepuuu-
cans were duelling aeder the one tentm
peace and harmony, it remains that partitac
politics ran high. With a Ueraocrauc oov
eroor in the chair and not enough Republi
cans to pass bills fcver his veto, the minonty
fell quite at home, and kept the Ilepubucans
busy.
At the start a sort of a c mpact rras agreoa
on that commissions would be issued to ex
Governor Beaver's appointees for Factory
nspector, State Librarian, and Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, and that the Sea
ate would confirm Governor Pattison's ap
pointments. The Senate, in the innocence of
its heart, confirmed the Democratic cabinet,
and several other appointments. So far Li- j
brarian lgle has got his commission but
two Democrats are ready to step into the
shoes of Factory Inspector Martin and Su
perintendent of Public Instruction Waller,
though the appointments have not been con
firmed.
The political bills passed embrace the
Ballot Reform bill, Apportionment bills and
bill for a convention to amend the Consti-
. r- . . il
tutioc. Ibe Mouse ana oeuave sjuiu uui
agree on a Senatorial Apportionment bill,
and that fact will prevent the Governor irom
using his veto power, for it is understood he
will not agree to the apportionment bills.
The Ballot Reform bill and the Constitution-
Convention bill are by many regarded
with favor in their present shai.
Liquor legislation was to be met at every
turn. The most lmponant nui anu me
that caused a genuine sensption when it
came from the Conference Committe increas
ed the retail license fees in first and second
class citiis from to $l,'Xi. The people
who would opKis snth a measure, and for
that matter the people who would approve
it, never had an inkling of what was going
on until the Conference Committee retiort
came and was adopted.
Brooks's Wholesale License bill, putting
wholesalers much in the same position as re
tailers, has pasted both Houses, despite the
hard fight made to substitute theFittiburgh
bill.
The last bill passed permits that bondsmen
anywhere in the county may go on the bond
of retail dealers.
Nsver before in the history of the Legist
ture were so many education bills introduc
ed, and Chairman Cochrane, of Armstrong
county, of the Educational Committee says
that while several important educational
bills bave passed there are others that should
have become laws.
Among the most important educational
bills that passed was Farr's Compulsory Ld-
ueation bill, requiring all the children of the
Commonwealth between the ages of Sand
12 years to be sent to some public, private or
parochial school at least 1G consecutive weeks
each year. It fixes a penalty of $2 for the
first conviction of the person offending by
violation of thw mrt and 5 for each subse
quent conviction. This bill as passed makes
it the duty of the assessor to make a list of
all the children between these ages, giving
the residence of each and the names of their
parents or guardians. This list is to be re
ported to the County Commissioners of the
county, whose duty, it is to furnish the same
to the various boards of school directors. The
teachers are furnished the list by the secre
tary, and it is a part of their duty to report
failure in attendance to the secretary at the
close of each month. It is the duty of the
secretary to ascertain the cause of non-at-
tendanoe, when, if it shall appear that par
ties so offending have sufficient cause, the
costs of proceeding shall be paid out of the
school funds. Teachers of parochial and of
private schools are required to co-operate
with the school authorities in carrying out
the provisions of this act. The main object
of the bill is to get the children of foreign
parents into the public schools and teach
them the common English branches.
Another bill passed requires school direc
tors elected in the future to be sworn before
engaging in the duties of that ofllee.
The most important filature of the session
for those interested in education was the in
crease of the school appropriation from two
to five millions annually.
The rural is ts or agriculturalists did not
get such legislation as they expected. Their
great interest was centered in the Taggart
hill. What has become of it is too well
known to need repetition. The Road bill
aiso went by the board. However on the as
sumption that half a loaf is better than no
bread, they believe the Boyer revenue bill
will greatly relieve them. They are also
pleased with the appropriation of $.'),0io,00
annually for education. Many fence, fish
and game bills were introduced, but few of
them felt the scratch of the Governor's

druggists to keep open their stores on Sun
day for the sale of soft drinks, cigars, etc.
To establish a State Board of Medical Examiners.
A uthorizing married women to organize
corporations and be officers of the same.
To pension retiring judges.
The last act of tbs House was to refuse to
consider the bill prohibiting discrimination
on account of color in the matter of public
appointments in cities.
Mr. Ritter then, on behalf of the members
f the House, presented Speaker Thompson
with a splendid silver set. The usual pres-
en'aiions were made to tbs other officers.
and the House adjourned.
THE KD 15 THE 8EKATS.
Outride of the rejection of the Governor's
nominations, tbs last session of the. SenaW
was not noteworthy. Gen. Gobin was elect
ed President pro ttm according to program,
and the halauee of the time was taken up
with the adoption of the usual complimen
tary resolutions and preseniations to officers.
Killed by a Desperado.
Snmcr, F!a., Slay 3i. A terrible tragedy
neenrred shout two milc from this ; ity late
last night, by which D. I- Alvirez, City
Marshal, and Albert Prince, a colored man,
lost their lives. Prince had accidentally
learned of the biding place of a negro des
perado named Murray, who Is supposed to
be the man who shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff Robinson in Kernar.dina two weeks
ago. Prince could not keep his secret till
morning, but burned into town and tola u
to Marshal Alvarei, who made up a posse of
five men armed with Winchesters, and,
guided by Prince, they rode on horseback to
the rabia of a negro named Frank Auams,
about three miles from here and near the
town of Hampton.
The pose surrounded the house, and
Prince went inside unarmed to arrest Mur
ray. Murray resisted, and finally seized his
gun and shot Prim dead. Alvarex and his
men then opened fire on ilurray, who re
turned the Art. Xo one was hurt. Finally
Alvarez and his men exhausted their supply
of cartridges, and the marshal agreed to
stand guard alone while the posse returned
to town to get more men and a fresh supply
of ammunition. Two hours later they re
turned to the cabin and found it deserted.
Prince lay dead near the porch and Marshal
Alvarex was found in a comer of the yard
with a bullet in his head and stone dead.
Numerous searching parties bave been form
ed aud sent oat after Murray. If captured
he will undoubtedly be lynched.

Highland Stock Farm !
Woolens and Worsteds.
Thk Legislature adjourned on Thurs
day last, and, as is usual in all similar
Loams, much of the important work of
the session was crowded into the hist few
houis of its existence. Owing to the
miserable method of reporting and pub
lishing its proceedings which prevails at
the State Capitol, it is almost impossible
at this writing to ascertain what was the
fate of the many bills on the calendar
and in what shape those that escaped
were passed. As most of the bills' of
general importance have yet to nn the
gauntlet of the scrutiny and veto of ft
hostile Kxecutire, no comprehensive
statement of what was accomplished
during the ftewion can now be given.
The body that hue just adjourned was
no better and no worse than its immedi
ate predecessor, hut no fair judgment
can be passed upon iU work until its
enactments are duly laid before the
jmblic ,
New York Prev. A practical illustration
of the ojwrations of the McKink'f tariff law
is to be found in the decreasing importations
of woolen manufactures and worsted goods
Mnce it went into effect. For the first three
months of 10, under the old law, the im
portations of woolen manufactures were
1.471,400 yards, as against 1,11,100 yards fcr
the firt three months of 1S91, under the
new law. For the same period in 1300 the
importation of worsted goods was lS.MU.JJO
yards, as against 7,2;tG,30U yards this year.
The country's consumption of these good9 is
certainly cot less, but greater, this year than
last. Increasing population alone would
have the effect of making larger consump
tion. The-e figures show as no argument
can show the benefit of the McKinley bill to
the wage earners of the I'nited 8ttea.

Kxw York, June 1. Secretary Blaine, ac
companied by Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Dam
rosch. left the latter' s residence shortly after
9 o'clock this morning and drove to the
Grand Central Depot, where the distinguish
ed party took train for Bar Harbor, Me.
The refusal of the Senate to confirm Gov.
Pattison's appointees for State Factory In
spector, Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion and City Treasurer of Philadelphia was
an enlivening feature of the closing hours of
the session. Charges of broken faith were
freely made. The Democratic leaders up
held the Governor and the Republican lead
ers attacked his action.
Along towardi daylight the Conference
Committee's report on the World's Fair bill
was passed by both Houses. It provides for
thirty commissioners, to be appointed by the
Governor, including the Governor, Lieuten- I s-ant-Governor,
and presiding officers of the J
two houses. Three hundred thousand
dollars is the appropriation.
At II o'clock the bill creating a State
banking department passed finally in the
Senate, with the House amendments. The
Superintendent of the defiartment will ba
appointed by the Governor at a salary of
(4,0x0 and he is given power to appoint a
deputy and clerks. -
The House remained In session all of last
night and until 10 o'clock this morning
when a recess for an hour was taken. Then
the following bills were uken op and passed
finally :
Amendment to the factory inspector act.
Relating to appeals in divorce cases.
Abolishing the office of director of the
poor in cities of the second class.
Authorizing cities to regulate and sup

Harrison not a Candidate.
Chicaoo, May 3". Benjamin Harrison
will not be a candidate for the Presidency
n 1802, so says his son, "Prince" Russel.
The young man came to Chicago to-day.
President Harrison won't be a candidate
in l.syj, Kussel dtciarea to a group oi
friends. Instantly every one in the party
turned to the speaker inquiringly.
What's that ?" spoke up one of the list
eners.
I said that my father would not be a
candidate for re election unless the party
demands it. Should the Republican leaders
nsist upon it, then he will allow his name
to go before the convention, but not under
any other cirenmstnnces. He certainly
would not be a candidate if he consulted
only bis family. Personally he bad rather
retire to private life, but as an ardent party
man he is willing to observe the wishes of
the majority. The life of a President is not
the happiest one. In many respects it is a
very disagreeable existence, and I know
that my father would much prefer private
life."
Is not Blaine working against the Presi
dent ?'' was asked.
Contrary to some of the reports the Pres
ident and Secretary are on the best ol terms.
Thrir relations are exceedingly pleasant. '
What was the cause of your attack upon
Mr. Blaine?"
" I first read that article while in Califor
nia on the Presidential trip. It was printed
without my knowledge, consent or authori
ty. I think it was written by Mr. Arkell,
but know nothing d efinite about it."
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison left for Washing
ton this evening. They will spend Sunday
in Washington. Mrs. Harrison will sail for
Europe Tuesday and Mr. Harrison will re
main in New York and devote himself to
his paper there.
More Lynching May Oocur.
Xw Oeleass, May 28. The situation as
regards the jury bribery cases, in connection
with the Hennessy assassination case, ere
ates much public comment and excitement
here, Tuesday it was discovered that a
terial State witness in two of the cases had
disappeared, and yesterday the cases in ques
tion were continued until the witnetats
cjuld be brought back to the city.
There are many muttering of discontent
a'- the developments in the bribery cases.
Tne apparent spiriting away of one of the
principal witnesses and the assertion that
the law cannot punish bribers of tales jurors,
bave aiade a bad impression oa the public
mind and may lead to serious trouble. The
newspapers are loud in their warnings that
the temper of the public will no longer per
mit the deluy in the purification of the foun
titns of justice. Ttie Xew Mta says : "N'ew
Orleans is not in a mood to be trifled with.
We would greatly deplore a re-enactment of
the scenes of March 14, but on that day the
pjop'.e were destroying not individuals, but
a system, and they are determined that that
sy item, in all its oifshoots and ramifications,
shall be destroyed by legal and judicial
methods, if possible, but destroyed."
Russia's Brutal Methous.
Xkw York, May 31. The I-ondon corres
pondent of the 77 cables : People in the
t nited Stales can get only an imperfect idea
of the extent and brutality of the persecu
tion of the Jews of Russia. England ordi
narily ibinks of Russia as a remote country
but the (act is it is only 30 hours from Lon
don to the Russian frontier, and a sense of
personal coptact with those media val bar
barities is begining to atir in men' mindn
even hers.
Berlin is of course vastly nearer. She may
it detd he cailed civilization's extreme out
post, and already she is overwhelmned by
the advance wave of the flying Jews, driven
on a day's notice from their homes and
swarming westward without money, friends
or any knowledge of where they are or
where they are going. Most harrowing
stories reach us of the condition of the.-e
wretched, homeless pecpl"? when they reach
Berlin, which, indeed, I can compare with
nothing bnt the talc we ourselves have read
of settlers arriving breathless and half na
ked in some western torrn alter hair-breadth
escapes from the sweep of prarie fires, and
this, mark you, is only the little beginning
of what Russia savagely swears shall be
tretched to cover half a million of people.
His Memory Affected.
Kew Y'oec May 29. The 1IVM to-day
says that ex-President R, B. Hayes, who
suffered last v-'iiter from a severe attack of
the grip, has lad his memory affected as an
aftor-effect of the disease. He can talk but
a minute or two when he forgets the topic
of conversation A cloud seems at intervals
to obscure hi mental vision, and he must
pause until 2 passes ana leaves Die minu
clear again. Even then on most occasions
he has competely forgotten what te had

Mr. Hayes feels bis misfortune keenly,
but his friends all hope that his affliction
will not be protracted.
