knell or mufiled drum upon the heart of
Charles J. lngersoll, for the death of

Of course, therefore, we cannot expect
the peace party of 1912 to praise Harri-
sons "services." 1t would be too great
an outrage on their feelings, too severe
shock on their sensibililies. Tef.
The WHEELING CONFERENCE.-The
Convention of the friends of "Harrison
and Reform" which took place at Wheel
ing, Virginia, on the Bird instant, passed
Oft well, and was another mammoth assem-.
blage. Western Virginia, Western Penn
sylvania, and Eastern Ohio, sent their
thousands and tens of thousands. The
numbers which were present from this
last State, notwithstanding that she has
either county or district conventions of
her own nearly every day, show oonclu.
slvely, that the extraordinary enthusiasm
which has prevailed here since the 22nd
February last, in the grand cause of Liber-
ty and the People, is neither dying away
nor to be killed off.
With reference to the entire number of
persons present at the Convention, the
Times says:
We have often been asked how many
there were at this Convention. We
must reply in the language of another.
"Count the drops Of water in the falls Of
Niagara, or the sand on the sea Shore"
and you may be able to enumera.e them.
When the procession had arrived upon
the hill, we looked at the people gathered
in front Of the main stand and the num-
Der scattered over the hill, and we are
convinced that there could not be less
than thirty FIVE thousand in all.

FATAL AcciDENr.--Last Sunday morn.
ing Mr. Michael Shannon, married man,
boarding with his brother John, in our viii
lage. after all the family except himself and
brother ]. had gone to the Catholic church
to which they are attached, while looking
for some articles that had been mislaid,
with a pipe in his mouth, turned up an
empty barrel which proved to have key
nearly full of powder under it, the head Of
the keg being out. A spark from his pipe
fell into it, and by the explosion, the uI-
fortunate man was perfectly .fayed from
his hair to within about four or five inches
Of his ankles, and pieces of flesh from two
to four inches in circumference fastened
like waters to the side of the room! The.
whole of his clothing, except the waist
bands of his pantaloons, was blown off,
his face perfectly chdrred and left black as
an Africans. He presented the most ago
nizing spectacle we ever beheld, and sur
vived until o'clock, bearing his torture
with great fortitude and expressed his de-
sire to live only until his spiritual friend
and pastor could aid him to prepare for
death. He would probably have been
killed Instantly but for the fact that the
house was unfinished. There were nine
large windows in the lower story, all of
which burst inwarls, and hay stack,
near the house fired and consumed, the
wind being favorable to save the house.

THE MIss1sslPPI.-Ont the 22nd August
the Mississippi at New Orleans had rece-
ded 10 within thirty inches of low water
mark. Its fall had been accompanied by
the sinking of most Of the wharves from
Madison to 81. Louis streets. The Com
mercial Bulletin of the Oath has the fol-
lowing reference to the subject.
sOn Saturday another sinking of the
deposits occurred along the inside Of the
levee in front of the first Municipality,
between Cont and Toulouse streets.
The mass sunk down ten or twelve feet,
and the wharves that had been erected
are consequently nearly useless. This
must result in considerable damage to
that part of the city. The same thing
has occurred occasionally for the last
twenty years at least, and it may well be
doubted whether the Mississippi will not
regulate its banks in all time to, come,
without regard to any city ordinances"
The Picayune of the 23d is more par
ticular:
"Between three and four o'clock yes
terday afternoon, an extensive slip OF the
levee occurred in the First Municipality.
The land sunk with sudden impetuosity,
heaving fish in the air, and rocking such
water craft as were in the vicinity with
all the violence of all ocean surge. The
Bayou Sara wharf is completely swept
away. and all the timbers of it. not two
Of which remain together, are now moosed
in a floating raft close up in the gap Of
the broken levee. The damage extends
along the landing places two or three hum
dred Yards, and several other wharves are
more or less injured. some Of them rem
dered utterly useless. Deep cracks in tho
earth are seen nearly half way between the
former edge Of the levee and the store
