ST. LOUIS, October 4.-NOthing has
vet been heard OF the missing balloon

baltimore Tobacco Market
BALTIMORE, October >, lS1.


Correspondence oi the Register.
Our market for Ohlo Tobacco during
the past month has shown less anlma-
tton; the total transactions amounting
To about 800 hhds. Early IN the month
the French agents made further pur-
chascs oi 23l hhds. on their contract,
and Messrs. Bros BOningvr also bought
81 hhds of common grades, the balance
of the sales consists principally oi
spanglcd grades bought for Bremen and
Austria. Ol late We have made no sales
Of spangled descriptions as We did not
want 10 sell at decline and cndcavor.
French agents are at present not IN the
market and are holding back With
view oi buying at lower prices.
As regards the purchase OF the new
crop our friends should be very careful.
Ohio tobacco in now moving of very
slow, and the stock here is daily ac-
Cumulating; il is evident that the crop
of last year canuot bc disposed of this
season and that a considerable amount
will have to be carried over. Conceding
even that the new crop should bc les,
than half al an average crop. yet, with
the old stock l,lt on hand there will bc
sufficient supply for all the demands
Of the trade fer next year.
We can hardlyrNpec that the French
government viii issue large contract
for Ohio tobacco next scason, as We
have always observed that whenever the
crop in Ohio is small they have curtail-
cd the amount in proportion to the size
OF the crop. As there has been no fail
urc m the crops raised in Kentucky,
Virginia and Maryland, We do not be-
lieve that Ohio tObarco will command
high prices il other kinds az tobacco
which are generally preferred by buyers
can bc bought for less. Taking these
circumstances in consideration We
would name $3.50 to stOO average n
the outside price that buyers can afford
o. pay.
Owing 10 the deficiency Of bright
grades in the Kentucky crop, air-cured
Ohio tobacco was taken this season as "A
substitute and commanded high prices.
but rs an unusual proportion of bright
tobacco has been raised in Kentucky
this year, il IL not likely that air
cured Ohio tobacco will be- wanted for
this purpose; consequently IL bought on
the strength Of this years prices II will
likely sell with heavy loss, therefore
we think air.cured tobacco should be-
bought at the same prices a. fired to.
bacco.
The total inspections Of Ohio tobacco
up 10 date amount 81 lb,527 hhds.,
against 5,l0i hhds. at the same time
last year. Yours truly,

A MINE HORROR.
Nine Men Precipitated Down a
Shaft-One Killed and the Rest
Fatally Injured.

SAN Francisco, October A Bodie
dispatch says as the 6 O'Clock shaft was
being lowered in the Tioga mine, with
nine men on board. the engine escaped
from the control OF the engineer, and
it went down to the five hundred foot
level. One man is now dead, and all
are injured in such a manner as to
warrant the belief that they will not re-
cover. The men injured by the acci
dent are John Cassidy, both legs broken;
Pat Banner, dying, mashed to pieces;
Sam Marster, both legs broken; Mr..
French, both legs broken; Manuel
Alvars, injured internally; Harry Rich
ards, killed; Joe Rodery, injured SER
iously; Pete PluiT, one leg broken. 1t
is the opinion of the physician in
charge that all the injured will die. The
Miners Union Hail is place OF mourn
ing again, and bears resemblance 10 the

At ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, October 5.-The chair
makers of this city have caught the
strike fever, and have demanded Is per
cent advance in wages. One large fac
tory, employing 40 men, yielded to the
demand, and will continue work.
Only one foundry now stands out
against the striking mouiders, the EX-
celsior works OF Giles Filley. All the
other stove and hollow ware works, have
agreed to the moulders' demands and
resumed work.
The cigar makers strike is about
ended, almost all the manufacturers
having accepted the terms of the
strikers.

FALL RIVER, October Sit is expect
ed the manufacturers generally will
commence tomorrow to pay the work
ing spinners by the piece and charge

strike. The city has been free from
disturbance the past week, except an
assault on three working spinners last
night, where the assaulted party chal-
lenged the asSailants.

Opinions OF officers at the War Depart.
ment are that General Porter never aa-

wheli-ingly in his favor and that all he
ever expected was relief from the dis
honor of the sentence gathering him.
IL is thought 10y headquarters officers
that the court martial in 1862 rendered
a just sentence from the evidence be-
fore them. but that the later evidence
shows that Porter was not unfaithful to
the interests of the service, but that he
was unjustly antagonistie TO General

Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1879-04-17

ACCORDING TO the late Secretary
of the Senate in his testimony before
the Wallace committee, it cost $780,
900 to elect the 122 Republicans to
Congress, who now vote 10 maintain a
standing army to terrorize and control
honest voters at the polls. This money
was squeezed out Of the ofFice-holxlers,
with Hayes and Schurz's consent. 1t
cost over a quarter of a million besides
that for United States marshals and
supervisors. This amount was stolen
from the taxpayers by order of Dew
ems and Hayes. On the. other hand
to put the 14S men into Congress who
voted last Saturday for a free ballot
and unintimidated elections, IL cost
less than $4,000, accord TO Mr.. Dun
can s. Walkers testimony, all Of il
the free-will offerings Of men who be-
lieve in Democratic principles. Care

owe do not think the DEaocEAT ought
to complain of Mr. Yocum for voting with
the Democrats on the army appropriation
bill. - WatchnaH.
The Uidtchmdn labors under n great
misapprehension. The DEMOCRAT did
not complain of Mr.. Iocum's vote on
the army bill; it only stated fact.
The Democrats did not need his vote
to pass the bill, and that is about all
we said on the subject, except that
leading Republicans charge him with
violating his pledges made to them
when he was n candidate. If all the
Greenbackers in the House had voted
in the negative with the Republicans,
the army bill would still have passed
by majority of four votes, so that
the Democrats were not in the least
dependent upon outside help for their
success. Whatever Mr.. Yocum's mo-
tives may have been, 1t was not our
purpose to criticise his vote either
iavorably or uatavorably, and We
shall not do SO now. "As an honest
man." he is at liberty to vote as he
plcases, though his Republican sup
porters do think it somewhat strange
that, "as an honest man." he does not
pay more respect to his promises.
Perhaps he was also under promises
to another class of supporters? But
into that We will not inquire. Wheth-
er he does, or does not hereafter show
good judgment, good sense and man
ly independence" We are entirely will
ing that he shall improve his opPor-
tunities while he remains under the
excellent tuition, tender nursing and
gentle care of the WdtchmdR.

we therefore feel justified in giving them
publicity.
