COLONEL INGERsOLI, in his lecture on
children, says: Owe lied a thousand
times, but ! never made anything by it.
Lying don't pay" His remarks are no
loabt merely applicable to the lecture
arEiness II is possible that lying does
u pay lecturer, and indeed members
Of that profession so seldom indulge in
lying that we may take it for granted
thy never make anything by it, but out
side of the lecture field it must
be confessed that lying pays enor-
mously. Looking at them from a
purely business standpoint, and Danish
ng all views of their morality or immor-
allty, the liar certainly makes better
showing of profits than the truth teller,
the world over. From the school-boy
who dupes his mates in jackknife trades
TO the railroad king who draws corpora
tion afser corporation into his folds, the
individual who does the tallest lying ap-
parently reaps the richest harvest. And
while this indicates that the surest in
vestment a man can make of his money
is in bountiful stock of lies it by
no means follows that this
is the best thing for him to do.

The Congressional Labor COM
mittee.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The Congressional
Labor Committee spent the forenoon at
the stock yards, and in the afternoon
and evening heard the views OF some
prominent Socialists.
James Taylor, author of american
Currency" and other books, regarded
contraction as the undoubted cause OF
hard times. In this, as in every other
nation, he suggested as a remedy to de.
preston, that we substitute national
security for private credit.
ID. r. 5. Berry, ironfounder, OF Bata-
via, considered convict labor one cause
of the depression. He would have Con-
gress pass a law requiring convict made
articles TO be stamped "Convict."
J.T. Morgan, chairman Of the Socialist
committee TO voice their views, denied
that the Socialists were the incendiary
and blood thirsty lot the press re-
ported them to be. A Socialist was a
man who had studied the problems OF
society with a view to regulating its ills {;
education should be general, not local /;
there should National bureau OF labor
statistics; child labor should be abolish
ed and the eight hour system be insti-
tuted; the Government should regulate
and run things for the people at cost.
Schilling and Meanliff, noted Social
lists, also talked at length.

SHOT DEAD.
Shocking Tradedy at u Texas
Campmeeting.

SAN ANTONIO, July 30.-Last fall John
Baker, young man OF high standing,
was indicted by the grand jury OF
Guadalupe county for the murder of a
young man named Exum Hullaman.
After examination Baker was released
on bail, and has since been at liberty.
The murder being exceedingly atrocious
Bakers release on bond aroused the
people, who talked OF lynching him,
and the consequences was a division OF
the community (Sequin) in which
Baker lived. Bitter feeling was exhibited
on both sides The evidence was purely
circumstantial, but rather strong.
Monday night Baker attended Il
Methodist campmeeting near Sequln,
and while the minister was delivering
the first prayer loud pistol report was
heard, Baker falling dead. A man had
quietly forced his way through the
throng to where Baker stood beside a
post supporting the arbor under which
the services were being conducted, and
placed pistol against his right ear. The
ball passed entirely through Bakers
head. Great excitement followed, the
prayer stopped and the meeting broke
up. Baker was buried TO day. 1t is
feared a serious feud has been engen-
dered,

COLLISION OF CLOUDS.
A TERRIFIC STORM AT WOOSTER, o.,
The Streets Of the Town Turned Into Rivers
-Culvets, Bridges, Fences, Out
houses, Live Stock and Other
Property Swept Away.

WOOSTER, o., July 29.-The heaviest
rain storm ever known visited Wooster
this evening, rain falling from o'clock
until in perfect torrents. The water
rushed down Market and Beaver streets
four feet deep, from Bowman street
south to and beyond the railroad, carry
ing everything before it. Cows and pigs
were swept away by the food.
On East Liberty street, the water
flooded the residence OF q man named
Schaff, and the family were rescued by
ladders.
At the corner OF Beaver and East Lib
erty streets the water was backed up
three hundred feet wide, running
through houses and lots. From East
liberty the water rushed through Gel
lars and yards and down Beaver street
in perfect torrent, filling houses waist
deep.
On South street people were rescued
from the residence of Charles Baver by
passing over the shoulders of men and
on ladders.
A house occupied by Mrs. Avery
Powers suffered considerable damage,
and was nearly carried away by the tor
rent.
The water rushed down to Henry
street, sweeping away fences, outbuild-
ings and dong great damage to dwelling
houses. The water here formed a small
lake and was three feet deep in the
streets.
On Henry street the water did con-
siderable damage to the property OF
William Johnson, moving his barn from
its foundation and filling his cellars.
Beyond the railroad the damage done
was immense. The large stone culvert
at the foot of Pittsburgh avenue was
swept away. The flood backed through
the dam Of the railroad pond across
East South street, carrying away anoth-
er large stone culvert down the valley,
flooding the gas house shoulder deep.
The damage done here cannot be ascer-
tanned, but was immense.
Christmas run, on the west side OF the
city, presented the appearance OF an i'm
mense river as the water came tearing
down, sweeping away bridges and fences:
Several railroad culverts are reported
washed down between here and the
summit, delaying trains from the East.
Excitement ran high all the evening, as
several children were reported missing,
but have since turned up safe.
A mile west and south of Wooster
farmers were at work in their fields
during the storm, and witnessed
strange sight-two black clouds APP
preaching each other, which as they
met, burst and the floods fell. The
amount of damage done cannot be as
certained tonight, but is very large.
Telegraph communication is cut off
from the East by the food.

KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
Fatal Result of an Old Feud.

LOUISVILLE, July 30.-At Frankfort, at
! O'Clock this evening, desperate fight
occurred in Halts' bar-room, corner OF
Broadway and st. Clair street. John
Cole and Barrett Gordon, both from the
neighborhood of Flat Creek, about ten
miles from thatcity, became involvedin a
difficulty and Cole was killed by having
knife plunged into the left side OF his
neck, severing the sub-clavian artery and
letting a great quantity of blood. The
origin of the trouble is not known, ex-
cept that there had been an old feud
existing between the parties, who were
neighbOrs and had married half sisters.
Gordon saya Cole made the attack, and
that he was retreating and defending
himself with pocket-kniie against Cole,
who was also armed with knife. Cole
died almost Immediately, and Gordon
gave himself up to the authorities. Cole
had served about seven years OF ten
years term in the penitentiary for killing
a man in Woodford county, and was
pardoned by Governor Moorehead.

DISCOVERY OF IRON ORE.

Pittsburgh Post.

tlltSDuIBu IOAb
The farmers living near the mouth OF
Montour's Run, little stream which
empties into the Ohio about eight miles
below the city, are greatly excited about
an alleged discovery of iron ore in that
section. A very fine quality OF ore has
been found there in large quantities.
Youngstown and Cleveland iron men
have been prospecting about the
place for two or three weeks, and
a Cleveland man has succeeded in
leasing five acre piece of the
farm of Mr.. John Scott for $1,000. An
offer of $4,000 was also made to Alex.
Stewart, another farmer in the vicinity,
for the lease of twenty acres from his
farm, but he declined the offer. The
farmers near Ewing's mill are also pros
pecting, and Dali about the vicinity the
farmers are Intensely excited about the
discovery, and are asking fabulous prices
tor their land. Our informant says there
is no doubt that ore has been discovered
there. The Montour Run railroad.
branch of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
road, traverses the section. Ii later de-
velopments prove that the belief OF the
natives thereabouts is well founded, the
Pittsburgh furnace men will be likely to
reap the advantage.
