The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-10-16

At Bedford, Indiana, two young men,
named James Carter aud Thomas
MeCool, became engaged in a quarrel,
in which the latter met his death. the
former was accompanying a young lady,
when McCool, who was drunk, and a
stranger to both Carter and the girl.
caught the girl rudely by the arm and
made improper proposals to her. This
being resented by Carter, McCool struck
him a singing blew in the face. Carter
took a knife from his pocket and used
ii to deadly effect. Becoming fright
ened at what he did, he deserted the girl
and fled to the town and gave himself
up. Public sympathy is with Carter.

The Adrian Disaster.

The structure which gave way and
preeipitsted a mass of humanity to the
ground, at Adrian, a few days ago, with
such serious results to human life, upon
investigation has been found to have
been built in a botchy manner by an
unskilled workman. It has also been
shown that he was warned by mechan-
les that it would not hold a crowd. The
actual figures are, fourteen killed and
n hundred and sixty-three wounded.

King C~etywayo.

A dispatch from Capetown announces
that King Cetywayo has arrived there.
His Majesty was dressed in a neat suit
of European clothes, which it was evil
dent from his actions he found much
less comfortable than his native dress.
He WA accompanied by four of his
wives, four of his followers, and one lit
tie girl, all of whom regarded with
great establishment the novel and strange
scenes about them. The captive King
was Immediately imprisoned under
guard in the castle, but not under con-
ditions Of serYitude.

U-nprontabIe Contrnct..

Complaints from contractors on gov
eminent work are continually received
at Washington. 1t is alleged that ow-
ing to the advance in the price of labor
and material they are making no money.
Many contracts have been abandoned,
but the Government loses nothing by
such abandonment. The contractors
entered on obligations when labor and
material were at a low figure and made
their calculations accordingly. Now
that the price of both labor and mater
ial have advanced they say they can
not execute their contracts without
material loss to themselves. This is
particularly the case with the men who
undertook work under the River and
Harbor Appropriation Bill. All this
work. amounting to about nine million
dollars, was let before the business
boom began.

How Bessemer Learned.

It will be of interest to the reader to
learn that, according to Bessemer's
statement, his knowledge of iron metal
lurgy was at that time very limited, so
that he had to get up the whole of the
subject. He is now, however, of opin-
ion that his ignorance proved of great
advantage to him, as he had very little
to ~unlearn, and could thus approach
the subject free from the bias insepa-
rable from those who have followed a
beaten track and vainly endeavor to get
out of the rut. These words of Besse-
mer require, however, to be carefully
considered. He does not imply that a
state OF ignorance would enable him to
invent, as many schemers imagine, who
put forth crude ideas which are crushed
by practical men. He set to work to
learn the whole business thoroughly,
first from books and then in the foun-
dries. Still it will be seen that here
was a man well on in the world, who set
himself to hard learning, while many of
us think that we can do very well with
out learning at all, or without learning
any more. To the public, who thus get
details at first hand, it is also of inter
est to know that, having built q small
experimental iron works in st. Pan
cras, and begun his preliminary trials,
months rolled on, and he spared
neither labor nor money, but made fail
ure after failure. To the wise man,
however, failure is a way of learning,
and failures are carefully recorded,
first, because they show us the way how
to save our time by not trying the
failure over again ; secondly, be-
cause they show us, through mar
rowing the field, in what way we
must try; and, thirdly. because
theyin themselves often suggest some
further experiment. Bessemer, indeed,
says that during this long time of fail.
ure he was ~accumulating many import
ant facts which could not but Ultimate
ly be of value to him. London So
ctety.

A Negro Man and a white woman.

Rev. Mr.. Allen, a colored man who
has been preaching to a church at Rus
sellville, KY, for some time, and a
young, very handsome, and elegantly
dressed white woman, whose residence
is Nashville, Tenn, but who, a few
weeks ago, met the colored preacher
while on a visit to Russellville, eloped
from that place on Saturday, and was
married in Jacksonville, KY, it is said,
Sunday, taking the train Immediately
after for Indianapolis. The preacher is
a fine looking specimen of his race, and
the woman gave evidence of accomplish
mants.

Your attention is called to the advertisement
Of Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
Pianos and Organs are so well known throughout
the civilized world that they require no words
of c~ommendation from us. Lowest prices, su-
perior workmanship and complete satisfaction
have brought this house prominently forward,
until to-day he stands the only man in his
trade who dares to ship his instruments on test
trial, and, if unsatisfactory, refunds notonly the
price but all freight paid. No fairer offer can
ever be made or even suggested. His Gales now
are very large, and when it is taken into con-
sideration that a few years ago he was only u
poor ~plough-boy, it must be evident to every
reader that Mayor Beatty is the possessor of
rare talent in his vocation,
