The Bo-cai led " Learir.s" which the Ways and Means Committee f the House granted to the manufacturers and arti sinsand others who favor protection to o:ir Louie industries have come to an end. It was an attempt on the part of the enic.crats to obtain credit by false pre tense, a roaring farce so far a. protection is concerned. The committee is largely made np of IVmocrats w ho are pledged by theLhicagoplatfjrm to the overthrow of protection, which it denounces as "a fraud and a robbery" and oncons'.ita tional, and the prete: se of hearing argu meiita in favor of protection waa a trans p:rent tifort to humbng the people.

Theirs is the responsibility ; let them work oat their own salvation if they can against a united, determined, aggressive and vigilant opposition. Democracy's Responsibility. From tbe X. Y. Pre. A few silly Democratic organs are still trying to bnmbug their readers by cack ling about the "distrust" caused by the Sherman law. The sham is threadliare. It is time that it was dropped. The Sherman law lias not caused the "di-trnst" that has closed hundreds ol factories, bankrupted thousands of firms and impoverished multitudes of Ameri can citizens. Under a Republican Ad ministration we had the Sherman law in full operation with marked commercial prosperity and the most encouraging in dustrial "development. The t-herrr.an law has given valuable assistance to the West ern silver industry, and furnished the country with about onehunred and fifty millioiis of urgently needed currency, every dollar of which it e-jual in pur chasing power to the gold dollar to-day. With CeDjamin Harrison in the White House the nation knew that the integrity of every dollar earned by toil would be protected by the whole power of the na tional government It knew that the Re publican President stood ready to istce bonds to any amount that was necessary to maintain the public credit. It knew that Tresident Harrison would never sign a bill framed to prostrate American industry and degrade the wages of Amer ican labor to the level of foreign pauper ism. The merchant, the banker, and the wage earner pursued their callings in confidence and security, conscious that behind their just interests there was all the mi,:ht and all the credit of the na tion. The trinroph of Democracy swept away every one of these safeguards. Tiie poli ticians who had threatened to destroy protection and beggar labor came into of fice with full power to execute their tl.rtat. The President stubbornly refus ed to issue bonds to maintain the Treasu ry reserve, and deliberately sacrificed the business interests to make an "object les son." The country knows the rest. The responsibility for the loss and destruction of the last six months belongs not to the Sherman law, but to U rover Cleveland and the Democratic party. " Robber" Democrats. From tiie X. Y. Pre--.

The train hands gave them battle, mortally wounding and caDturinc one of them, while posses of citizens captured the other two. The rob bers got no booty. Three of the train crew were wounded. Tho- who who were hurt in (he shooting during the attack were: Engineer Young, Conductor Oduui, Fire man McDowell, rollier J. L. Jones. Three of the robbers who got on the front end of the eipress car were heavily armed. Shortly after 'leaving Centralia the engineer was commanded lo stop the train, but both be and the fireman refused to obey and were shot. Two of the robbers then went to the express car, bat were greeted with whizzing bullets, and a regular fusilade ensued. With the aid of grappling irons to hold them out far enough to be ont of reach of the aim of tbeexpress messenger and conductor, wbo were firing from inside the car, the robbeis forced their way into the car. Here a battle followed. The messenger and conductor, partly guarded by boxes and bundles, fired at the robbers as fast as they could shoot The thieves fired, loo, but were at a disad vantage. A TCAD BEAD WO!C TUX DAT. Neither side seemed to be able to conquer, when help came to the railroad employes. On the train, dead-heading his way, was P. J. Sanders, a brakeman on the road. He came to the rescue of the conductor and messenger, armed with a shotgun. Heat tacked the robbers from the rear, and though in turn attacked by the third robber manag ed to shoot one of those in the express car through the body. The others, seeing their companion fad bleeding, took to their heels and got away through the fields. The wounded robber was brought to jail here, and made a full confession. He gave his name as L. 15. Jones, and said be was from Kansas City. Jones admitted be was the man who shot the engineer and fireman. Ue said that Le and Charles O'Dwyer, wbo was rah-ed in this city, with Martin Nichols and James Hardin, had planned and put in to execution the hold up. They held their meetings at the home ofO'Dwyer's mother, in theeasurn part of Centralia.

With Po- Sr. JcsErn, Mo., Sept. 25. Train robbers attempted to hold up what they supposed was a regular Council Bluff passenger train at Francis, just outside of this city, last night. In the fight that followed two of the bandits werekiiledand three were captured. The railroad officials learned cf the in tended robbery and notified the police. A dummy train was pn-pared and 1G police un der command of the chief, were put aboard. When the train reached a point two miles north of St. Joseph a man on the track sig naled the train to stop. The eng' --er obey ed and six masked men surrounded the en gine. ne of the robbers boarded the engine and covered the engineer and fireman with a re volver in each hand. The other five ran to the express car and ordered the messenger to ooen the door, which he did. Three of the robbersjumped aboard, leaving two out side as guards. The police were massed in the express car, and ordered the three rob bers to surrender as soon as they entered. The bandits, although surprised, opened fire at once. The police replied and a fusil lade followed. Twenty five shots were fired during the fight. None of the police were injured. During the fight another detachment of police captured the two guards left outside, but the bandit on the engine, hearing tie tiring, realized the situation and escaped. A detail of officers stated in pursuit, and he will probably be captured. A remarkable feature of the fight was the escape of the of ficers from injury. Each bandit bad two re volvers, which were used freely. All the train robbers lived here. Escaped Burial Alive. Sale, Mass,, Sept. 2;. Mrs. R. W. Phil lips knows bow it feels to be laid out for burial and hear the mourning of friends a-id relatives over her supposed death. This teTible eijerience was recently hers, and she is now recovering from the nervous shock that followed her restoration to the world. It was her frantic etfart to assuage her husband's grief tbat caused the faintest fluttering of ber heart and saved he.- from the terrible fate of being entombed alive. She had been sick with peritonitis. She bad severe sinking spells, and in one of those spells she became powerless to speak or move. She heard them pronounce her dead, felt them close her eyes, felt ber husband's arms about her and beard his heart broken sobs. Still, she bad no power to prtvent any uf these manifestations. she says the thought came to Ler during those moments. "Ami dead? Can it be possible that this is death ? Am I to hear my husband's grief and pass away from him with no power prevent it ? No, no ; it cannot be : Jod would never be so cruel." She made a frantic effort to speak, her bnsbind discovered some signs of life a flatter of the heart, and immediately began to pour strong alcohol upon ber and rub her vigor ously. In a short time animation was restored.

A tragedy thai occurred in the aSsylutn for fee ble minded children at Rlwyn, Delaware county, was only revealed to day, when the funeral of Maggie Missensawl, the victim, occurred here. Maggie was 13 years old'and the daughter of Michael Missensawl, of this place. The girl was an inmate of the place, and at the supper table met with an acci dent which made a bath necessary. For this purpose she was given in charge of an older girl, also an inmate, tut of stronger mind, wbo gave ber a bath in almost boil ing water. The screams of the girl attract ed Ihe attention of the autboritiee, but she was so terribly scalded that the died two hours after. I ' i" I I -5 I I El A terrible crime was perpetrated in Roan oke, Virginia, Wednesday morning by a ne gro, named Thomas Smith. Mrs. Bishop, wife of a farmer of Botetourt county, was at market with a load of pro duce and Smith bugut a hix of grapes. He asked ber to go with him to get the money, and, taking her to a bouse nearby, locked ibe door and assaulted ber Then, drawing a ra zor, he demanded her money. She gave it cp, and while doing so, jeiked the razor from his band. The negro choked ber. threw ber down and putimled her bead with a brick, leaving her for dead. Mrs. Bishop shortly regained consciousness, and, returning to the market, told of the outrage. IVtective Baldwin soon arrested the nero and lodged him in jail. A crowd surrounded the building and the militia was ordered ont to the scene. The mob com menced to shoot and the soldiers returned the fire from about twenty five ri fles. During this exciting scene, the pris oner was taken from the jail and secreted. Sjeechea by Judge Woods and others con vinced the mob that the prisoner was gone. and it dispersed after the jail was thrown ojien to be searched. Seven were killed in the melee and others were wounded seriously and will die. THE rRISCS IE LYRVBEt. Thomas Smith, wbo assaulted Mrs. Henry Bishop, was lynched Thursday afternoon. He was found by the mob where the au thorities had secreted him and dragged to his death. Not contented, tbe infuriated mob carried his body to the river, and there. in the presence of a throng of one thousand ildly-excited people, the negro's body was incinerated. A squad of twenty men took the negro from the policemen just before 5 o'clock this morniog, and hanged him to a hickory limb. They riddled bis body wtth bullets and left tag on it saying, " This is Mayor Trout's friend." A Coroner's jury of business men was summoned and viewed the body of tbe ne gro and rendered a verdict of death at the bands of unknown men. Thousands of people visited the scene of banging, and at 7 o'clock the body was cut down. After the jury completed its work the body was plac ed in the hands of ollicers, who were unable to keep back tbe mob. Three hundred men tried to drag the body through the streets, but Rer. Campbell, of the First Presbyterian Church, and Captain Norman, by force and strength, prevented them. Captain Norman bad a wagon, and the body was pat in it and conveyed to the bank of the Roanoke, about a mile from the scene of the lynching. Here the body was dragged from tbe wagon by ropes for about two hundred yards and burned. The body was consumed within an hour. The crema tion was witnessed by several thousand peo ple. Two Important Rulings. Judge Furst made two rulings last wek ia the Centre county court, which will be of interest elsewhere. One case brought before tbe court was a young man w ho had been catching speckled trout with a rod and a line with several hooks upon it. Counsel for the fisherman urged that he had caught the trout with a rod and line, and bad not vio lated tbe law. Judge Furst ruled that no soecies of fish was more protected by law than speckled trout, and that the intent of the law clearly is that not more than one hook should be used to catch them. The defendant w as found guilty. The other ruling was in a dog ca-'cv Mrs. Kale Brown brought suit against Wesley Straw for shooting her dog. The anim-1 was a valuable one, as it protected her proierty and she always took him along with her when she was alone. The dog went away and strayed int Straw's bara yard, where be gave a Hock of sheep trouble. Straw shot the dog. The judge ruled that while the dog was a valuable one to Mrs. Brown, Le was trespassing on another man's property end as the law gave every man the right to shoot a dog when annoying sheep, the de fendant should be acquitted. Licenses Co With Hotels. Tne decision of Judge Schuyler, of Eis ton, in the following case, is one that will interest every hotel renter, and every owner of hotel property, wbo may read it. In this section it has generally been held that licenses were the individual property of the person obtaining them. Under the decision they can be claimed as belonging to the property licensed. The case referred to was that of Zearftiss vs. Smith, Franz Zearfuss is the owner of tiie American hotel on East Third street, South Bethlehem. The hotel was leased to Joseph Gross four ycarj aao for a period of five years. Gross moved out two years ago and the lease was transferred lo John Smith. On August 10;h Smith moved out, leaving an unpaid rent bid of tU." due Mr. Z?a;foss. The license for tbe place was in Smith's name. Mr. Zearfuss asked Smith's consent to have the license transferred lo him. This Smith refuse j to dj nnlejs Ziarfusi gave him $l,2oo for the permission. Smith was evidently under the impression that tbe li cense was bis personal property and tbat no one else could do business in the hotel with out his consent. The case was carried to court by Mr. Z:arfu;s. After lenethy argument. Judge Schuyler decided that Smith must pay all the back rent due, enter tbe hotel, and give se?urity for the payment of the rent nntil tbe lease expires, if he wants to retain the licenss. If be fails to do so the license will be transfer red without his consent. Commissioner Lochren's Report. Washixgtos, Sept. -22. Pension Commis sioner Locbren submitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior to clay. The number of pensioners on the rolls of the Bureau is !V',0I2, with a net increase of during the past year. Daring Ihe year 21.715 ciaims for increase of pension: and 3l,f.J for additional pension under the act of June 27, lS'M, were allowed. In the same time 115 221 ciaims for pensions and I'JT increase were rrjeciecl. 1 be claims pending consideration on July 7th number 71 1,150: The amount of money paid for pensions during the year was SlodJ-kMto, and tbe balance at the close of the year was $J,7.37l. The appropriations for the next fial year, Commissioner Locbren stated, will be am pie and the estimates for the fircal year, ISiii, amounted to $102,tiol,570. The Cjmmi-sioner devotes considerable space lo rases under tbe act of June 27, is:), in which be savs : " Cider this act, aside from the requisite service and honorabVdis charge, there is but one condition that can give any right to pensions. A menial or physical disability of a permaneut charac ter, not tbe result of their own vicious hab its, which incapacitated them from the per formance of manual labor in such a degree as to render them unable to earn a support but by Order lo4, issued October 15, 1 stl. Ibe Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary, directed that the specific disabiii ties should be rated in applications under this ac, as they would have been rated un de-r the schedule then in force if of service origin to $12 per month. " It is perfectly clear that nnder the order c f in I, in granting pensions under the act of June 27, Ih'JO, tbe art itself was set aside and disregarded, with tbe result of granting pensions not authorized by any law." The sixty-day notioe in suspending pensioners, the report says, was not withdrawing the pension, but temporarily withholding it, where it appeared to be unlawful, pending inquiry. The Commissioner recommends an amend ment of tbe pension law, with a view that a few changes be made with regard to merit alone, and in niter disregard of influence and to repeal the act of Congress providing that pension shall be paid no resident wbo is not a citizen ef tbe I'nited States, except for actual disability incurred in tbe service. He concludes as follows: "I recognize to fie fullest extent that my sole duty is to execute and administer the laws as they are enacted fairly and bontetly interpreted." News Items.
