E. P. Smith. w. H. Jennings. and Z
R. Cochran proved last SATURDAY. that
at least one of the ways by which peo-
pie sometimes die, was not spre-
destined for them. At dinner time
they all sat down upon some ties under
an overhanging rock on Section 4 on
the c. d H. V, R. R., just opposite
Monday Greek. While eating their
dinner small stones and gravel were
observed falling down from the rocky
face of the cut, but no ones attention
was specially attracted by the occur
renee.
They were probably half an hour
there, when all got up, leaving the ties
and their dinner pail on the ground,
and walked off toward their work
They had gone scarcely a hundred
yards before they heard a terrible
crash, like the falling of heavy body,
behind them. Returning to learn the
cause. they found the ties and dinner
pail, which they had left but mo.
ment before, crushed to pieces by a
large rock which had fallen down, and
now covered the whole of the space
where they had been sitting. They at
once voted themselves lucky fellows

Why Meat Is So High.

1t is often subject of remark that
meat, including beef and pork, have
not undergone reduction in prices
since the war, as is the case with other
necessaries of life. Butter, eggs, lard
&c, may be put in the same category.
The wherefore of this, the Pittsburg
Commercial explains as follows;
"How is this? The solution may
probably be found in the fact that our
cities and non-grazing communities
have increased beyond all proportion
to the product of live stock or beef cat
tie. Maine, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania. North Carolina, Georgia,
Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio show a falling of,
and in some of the first named States
cattle raising has become almost ex-
tinct. 1t is true that some of the
States beyond the Mississippi show
large increase in the production of cat
tie, but these regions are remote, and
their transportation necessarily involves
expense which must materially enhance
the prices. In the Southern and Mid
die States the high price realized for
cotton and tobacco does not favor the
raising of live stock there, and although
the vast regions of the West may still
be devoted to grazing. yet the advan
tages of the past are to be expected to
afford criterion of the future. If,
then, the high prices of meat continues
to rule, the substitution of cheaper food
will necessarily follow, and it may,
be to our advantage that it
it should be so. Do not our people |
eat too much animal food?-
The American people, it is well known,
eat a larger proportion of meat food |
than any other in the known world. -
The day laborer considers it essential
that he should have meat at least once
a day, and generally has it twice, while
in some European countries, the same
class are satisfied with it as many times
a week. The Irish live on potatoes and
The Chinese on rice, and while itwould
not be well to see Americans reduced
70 the same standard of fare, yet in
giew of the inprobability of a decline
n the prices of meats fer some time,
t is not improbable that some modi-
ication will be necessary in our modes
If subsistence.

Terrible Calamity.

Richmond, Va, last Wednesday,
was the scene of the most appalling
calamity that has occurred in this coun-
try for years. While the Court of Ap-
peals was in session in the second story
of the Capital Building. the room being
densely crowded in view of some i'm
portant decision about to be announced,
touching their municipal affairs, the
gallery fell, and the shock, together
with the added weight, caused the floor
of the Court room to give way, pre-
cipitating i. its occupants, with the
wreck, to the room below. Over six
ty persons were killed, and two hun
dred or more wounded. Many of the
wounded are in a critical condition, and
are not expected to live. The lower
room was occupied as the Hall of the
House of Delegates, but fortunately
there were but few members in at the
time, else the number of dead and
wounded would have been much larger.
Business in Richmond, for days, was
entirely suspended, and the citizens oc-
cupied in administering the last rites to
the dead, and in relieving the distress
Of the living sufferers.
Among the killed are E. NJ. Scho'
field, brother of General Schofeld;
DIR. S. B. Brook, city editor of the En-
quirer; Julius A. Hilson, city COllec-
tor, , and General Wilcox. Ex-Gov-
ernor Wells had two ribs broken, and
ex-Speaker Bocock has had a limb am
putated. ss., g.,
The Capital building was erected in
179e,e and was quite seventy-eightI
years old. 1t is believed it will now
be abandoned as public institution.
The scenes of despair and anguish
in the vicinity of the disaster were be-
yond description. Dark mourning COW
cred the whole city. The burning of
the theatre in the same place. in 1911,
where large number of persons, in
many ladies, perished, is the
only disaster in the history of that city
that affords the slightest parallel to this
terrible calamity.

H We would have peace in the
country, and to that end are disposed
to -extend the hand of friendship
and forgiveness to our late erring
brethren of the lost cause; but such
feelings are chilled By the recital Of
scenes like the following, and the

Withdrawn at. .iheir@reading.--Says
the Madison Courier: 53ifxuE :
"Martin Hart, cripple, aged
about, so years, living in Trimble
county, Kentucky, about three
miles from Milton, on the farm adj
joining the Della Webster place,
was taken from his bed last night
between one and two o'clock, tied
up to tree, and given over three
hundred lashes on the bare back
We saw Mr.. Hart this morning and
examined his wounds, and can tes-
tify to the severity of the whipping.
His back is lascerated from the
shoulders to the loins in a most hor-
rible manner. He says he was tied
up for nearly two hours, and during
the whole time his tormentors were
applying the hickory withes. The
only reason they would give him
for the treatment was, that he had
once fed Trust Smith, a suspected
horse thief that his son was a SOL
dier in the Union army, and that he
was a id Eincolnite. Mr.. Hart
says he counted sixteen men, and is
satisfied there were at least thirty
persons present, but he could recog-
nize none of them in the darkness.
he says the only "offense" Of which
he has been guilty is that of voting
the Union ticket. Mr.. Hart former
ly lived in North Madison, where
he now has a son residing. The
above is the statement of Mr.. Hart.
We know only that the beating was
inhuman, brutal and barbarous, and
an offense against the law-if there
is any law in Kentucky"

Defalcation Of a Radical On
cfal

Mr.. D. A. Shepherd, the Radical
Treasurer of the Corporation of
Bellefontaine, and also of that
township, is a defaulter to the
amount of 81 800 He is one of the
many Radical officials who are con-
stantly stealing peoples money; but
the great majority of whom are
smart enough to keep their rascali-
ty hidden. Shepherd is one of the
unfortunate ones, who has been di-
rectly caught in the act.
We cut the above from the Near
thur Enquirer. That Bellefontaine
Radical is undoubtedly bad man,
and deserves to go the way Of all
transgressors, but then it takes just
one hundred such cases to equal the
stealings of the Democratic Treas.
urer of Butler county. Hunt up
ninety and nine more SINH lar defal-
cations, Mr.. Enquirer, and then, in
that matter, you will be nearly as
good as a Radical.

Protection at the West.

The st Louis Tribune thus re-
spends to those journals and repre-
sentatiyes who boast of what the
West will do against Protection after
her power in Congress shall have
been increased by the Ninth Cen
sus:
ga large msjority of the Western
people are Protectionists, and the
minority is becoming smaller every
day. There is q great deal of mis-
apprehension on this subject iu the
East, growing out of the fact that
leading journals of our great cities
supported by dealers in foreign
goods, are Free Traders. People in
the East do not know that our coun-
try press is nearly all in favor of Pro-
lection. While dealers in foreign
goods, moreover in our large cities,
are naturally Free Traders, our larg-
est and best merchants, Who deal in
American products, are mostly in
favor of Protection. The President
of the Board of Trade in st. Louis
major Shryock) is a Protectionist;
so is MIR. Louis, the President of the
Merchants Union Exchange, the
Governor of Missouri, moreover, is a
Protectionist. So much for this
State.
SIN Iowa, it is we'll known that two
lifelong Protectionists have recently
been elected to the U. S. Senate; and
Minnesota stands on Protective Tariff
platform. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that the three great States west of
the Mississippi are decided Protec-
tionists. So also are the three great
States east of us: Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin. The great newspa-
pers in the great cities may make it
appear otherwise to distant people,
but it is nevertheless true. 1t must
from the nature of things be true.
The Western people are just begin
ming to build up their industry. They
want fair play, and no foreign com
petition. They do not use foreign
goods as the people of the East do;
but wear home made clothing, and
are not only satisfied with it, but are
proud of il. We intend, as soon as
possible, to make all we want in
every department of life. Woolen-
factories are going up all over this
country, and soon we shall go into
cotton manufacturers. Iron works |
are multiplying on every side and |
now we are going into the manufac-
ture of Iron and Steel Rails, and
SHALL soon be able to supply all the
western railroads. Protection to
Home Industry is, therefore, to be
hereafter the great economical doc
trine of the West. Even to day, the
W estern people are more in favor of
q Protective Tariff than the Eastern.
There Is good reason for l.: our in
1ustry is still in its infancy: that OF
the Eastern people well established.
They can endure foreign competition;
zoe cannot, nor will our people per
nit it, as the elections of Congress
men will show. The Free-Traders
will be left at home and Protection
SITS only will be returned. With our
increased representation, Congress
will then be more Protectionist than
ever, and the American people will
enter upon the high road which leads
% great, rich, and powerful nation.

IRoNToN AND CoLUMBUs RAILROAD.
On Saturday last dispatch was
received from Waverly stating that
the engineers surveying the pro-
posed route for this road were at
that place, and the impression pre-
vailed that q more available route
would be found for this road by fol-
lowing the Scioto Valley from Ports
mouth to Waverly, than the one
heretofore spoken of and just gone
over by the engineers, viz: from
Ironton to Jackson and thence to
Waverly. The object in telegraph
ing, was to ask, if the engineers sur
veyed the route down the Valley to
Portsmouth, the expense for the sur
vey in Scioto county would be paid
by her citizens. Answer was sent
back. telling the engineers to come
on, and we suppose they are coming
down the Valley. The question of
the practicability of the two routes
will soon be ettled.-Portsmouth
