Charleston

t Mayor Sale, Of ofCharlcston, has form
ally expressed his determination to run
for tho Democratic nomination. He
says hc representative straiglhout Dem
ocrats who never ftsed, boltctl or ran
independent. lie wishes a primary
election. This is all right, provided il
Is properly conducted. But in all the
talk about primaries in Charleston we
have never seen the all-ilnportant point
stated as to who shall be entitled to
vote. This is the marrow of tho whole
matter! No faircr way of nominating
can be devised than primary election
confined to the actual bona Rde men,
bers of tho party, those who have
proved their faith in former elections,
and who swear to abide by the dcci-
sion Of the primary then pending. To
let in the rag-tag and bob-tail Of the
opposition, who call themselves Demo-
Gratis only 50 long as they arc actually
voting, and who crowd in merely to
defeat the majority of bona ,ade voters
is to court certain ruin for the party.
IN all those counties in which dissatis-
fhction with tho primaries resulted, it
arose from the loosonoss or the absence
OF qualifications for voters. In sew
eral instances a split was imminent,
because 1t was charged that Radical
negroes under tho guisc OF newly
1ledged Democrats were allowed to
turn the tide in favor of certain candi-
dates. Fairfield was wise enough to
require the written endorsement of
''nembcrs ion solemn pledge on enrol
'mani and furthermore, ut the time of
voting, rrdU;rea pledge to abide the
nominations HAT might be madc. In
this, way every cause for complaint was
removed. ........ .u..
... NNh'lc we approve Of the primary
system, we do not see how it can be
adopted in Charleston yet. The con-
stltuLion Of Tie party does not author
1zc 1t, and that constitution cannot be
Altered except by convention. An
executive committee has no authority,
nor has it moral right to make, of it's
own volition, such a sweeping change.
Why does not the executive committee
call conventional once for this pur-
pose? If The people desire q primary
thoy" can surely select delegates to a
convention that will adopt the primary
system. If convention, fresh from
the people, adheres to tho convention
system, thenitis evident that tho people
mustprefer the old plan. At any ratio
an expression fresh from tho people is
needed. The executive committee has

Lifetime OF A LOCOAroTIyE.-Th

than horse Of flesh and bones. The
ordinary life OF q locomotive is thirty
years. Some Of the smaller parts re
quirc renewal every six months; tho
boiler tubes last five years, and tho
crank aNlcs six years; tires, boilers
and tirc-boXcs from six to seven years
the side frames, aXlcs and other, parts,
thirty years. An important advantage
is TINT broken part can be repaired,
and does not condemn the whole loco
motive to the junk shop; while, when
a horse breaks a leg, the whole animal
is only worth the flesh, fat aud bones.

By an explosion of fire damp in the Della
ware and Hudson coal mine, at Mill Creek,
Luzerne County, Pa, on the I'd, five men
were instantly killed.
jesse James, the famous outlaw and des-
perado of Western Missouri, was re-
ported shot and probably killed on the 2d.
One account of the affair states that a por-
ton of the gang engaged in the recent Glen
dale train-robbery, comprising Jesse James,
James Coffman, Bill Cummings and Henry
Miller, had been encamped in the tim
ber few miles north of Short
Creek, Kansas, where they were
joined by George Sheppard, former COM
panion- -in-arms of the James brothers, but
not engaged in the last robbery. Sheppard,
on account of his cid acquaintance and pre-
sumed friendship for Jesse James, was
cordially welcomed by the latter, and as the
party moved off, the two named rode side by
side, bringing up the rear of the column.
Watching his opportunity, when his
companions face was momentarily
averted, Sheppard drew his revolver and
shot Jesse through the head, at the same in
slant wheeling his horse and fleeing, closely
pursued by the remainder of the gang, who
fired several shots at him, one taking effect
in the leg. Sheppard says that Jesse fell
headlong from his horse, and the
supposition was that he was killed
Sheppard joined the gang, it is said, at the
instigation of Marshal Ligget of Kansas City,
and in hope of securing the large reward Of
fered for the capture of the robbers, dead or
alive. He had posse of friends hidden in
the brush not far away, and it was his inten-
tion to lead the whole gang of outlaws into
ambush, but his plans miscarried. The
country was being secured by detectives and
others, in hopes of running down the re-
mainder of the gang, who carried off with
them their wounded or dead companion and
leader.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

Bill Young, who was recently tried for the
murder of Lewis Spencer and his four chill
dren, near Luray, in Clark County, NO., two
years ago, and acquitted, was taken from his
house by a mob, in broad daylight on the
10Th, and hanged. The mob was composed
OF several hundred men and boys, none Of
whom were masked or made any attempt at
concealing their identity. On the day
following his acquittal, Young was mar
ried in Kahoka to young lady from
Ohio to whom he had been for some time en-
gagged. He had been fully warned Of the
threatened .ynching, but defiantly returned
to his home with his bride from Keokuk,
Iowa, where they had spent their honey
moon. Upon the approach of the mob he
barricaded his house, and in answer to their
demands for him to come out, he
and his son opened fire upon
them. Several shots were exchanged,
Young being wounded in the stomach
and breast, when he fell bleeding and ex-
hausted. II was threatened at one time to
burn the house, and hay was piled up around
il and set on fire, but afterwards eXtinguished
by the mob. After Young had ceased firing, IA
squad of men entered the house, brought
him out, placed him on wagon, ran IL under
an arched gateway leading to the premises,
and placed a rope about his neck. lie was
then ordered To confess, but declared his in
nocence to the last. After allowing him 10
make his will, the wagon was driven off, and
he was left hanging until he was dead.

Next morning we left for Uncompahgre in
charge of Capt. Cline and Mr.. Sherman. To
these gentlemen we were indebted for a safe
and rapid journey to Ouray's house ON the
Uncompahgre River, near Los Pinos. We
rode on ponies, 40 miles the first three DAYS,
and reached Capt. Cline's wagon on a small
tributary Of the Grand. Here we took
a blackboard wagon, and travelled the next
day to Gunnison River, and the next
and last day of fear we travelled As
miles, and reached the house of the good
Chief Ouray about sundown. Here In
spector Pollock and my brother Ralph met
me, and was happy enough.
We found carpets on the floor and curtains
on the windows, lamps ON the tables and
stoves with fires. We were given the whole
house, and after supper went to bed and
slept without much fear, though mother was
still haunted by the terrors she had passed
through. Next morning we breakfasted
with Mrs. Ouray, who shed tears as she bade
us good-by. Then we took mail wagons and
stages for home.
In closing this letter, want to thank Chief
Ouray, his wife, and Gen. Adams. To them
we owe our escape.

SUCH loss of life and property has
followed the wanton cutting down of
entire forests, for years past, that sew
eral European Governments have ap-
pointed commissioners to interfere in
this, and instead of removing at once
the entire growth of forest lands, they
now thin the trees out only when attain
ing their full growth, and in their prime.
In this way, just as large, if not
larger, product of lumber is obtained
during half or a whole century, and
the roots of the trees left standing and
the underbrush act as filters for power
full rains, retard their otherwise rapid
flow, and prevent their washing away
the soil. The streams in the valleys are
consequently not filled SO soon in days
as before in hours, and no destruction
of farms, villages, and their inhabitants,
herds and tiocks follows. Nothing is
more unsightly in a landscape than the
thick stumps left on the ground after
cutting off noble forest. If the trees
be gradually thinned instead of cutting
all off at once, this ugly, depressing
sight is avoided.
