The story of our achievements cannot too
often be told. No people can become too fa-

If history is philosophy teaching bv example this

party supplies since 1860. Itsayed all our Terrific

into men, furnished them with schools, and
gave them the ballot 1t protected the polls
from violence and fraud. 1t declared the
equality of the citizen, it protected bis rights as

the nation itself. Under its policy the national
honor and integrity were indicated. and the
national debt paid with a rapidity nnexampled
in the history of the world. Passing through
the EXTREMIST financial Distress it has yet been
true to itself, until it has reached the solid
foundation of specie resumption. 1t has de-

result is seen in a prosperity more wide

the country has ever before witnessed 1t has

United States of America respected and honored

these States nation. 1t has clothed that ma

great citizenship. So, when we consider that
there is no slave throughout the boundaries of
the great republic, we did it. And when we re-
member that great rebellion in the interests
of slavery was crushed, we did it, And when
we remember that the UnitedS States of America
is not mere league of States, but is great na-

An Indian Brides Devotion.

There are few Instances of devotion
that prove the existence of love in a
higher DECREE than that given by Kit
Carson's Indian wife to her brave and
manly lover. While mining III the West
he married an Indian girl, with whom
he lived very happily. When he was
taken iii, long way from home, word
was sent to his wife, who mounted feet
mustang pony and travelled hundreds
of miles to reach him. Night and day
she continued her journey, resting only
for few hours on the open prairie, fly
ing ON her wonderful little steed as soon
as she could gather up her forces anew.
She forded rivers, she scaled rocky pass
es, she waded through morasses, and
finally arrived, just alive, to find her
husband better But the exposure
and exertion killed her. She was seized
with pneumonia and died within a brief
space IN her husbands arms. The shock
killed Kit Carson, the rugged. miner.
He broke a blood vessel, and both are
buried In one grave.

Indiana Democrats for Garfield.

At the organization of the Garfield
and Arthur Club in this city Wednesday
night 141 persons signed the roll. Of
these nine have heretofore acted with
the Democratic party. Their names are
published, and they are well known.
Another club was organized by the Re
pubhcans In the west end of the city the
same night. Among the membership
are six heretofore straight-out Demo
Gratis, and one of the leading Greenback-
ers of the county, and delegate TO the
Chicago Convention that nominated
Weaver. The latter was also formerly a
Democrat, and lost leg in the rebel
army. They all say Garfield is good
enough for them. In the three other

county there are several heretofore
active Democrats. They may be called
straws. They certainly indicate how
things are going in this part of Indiana.

Sad Accident 10 an Excursion Party.


The steamer Mamie, containing pleasure
party belonging to the Catholic Church of the
Holy Trinity, at Detroit, was run down by the
steamer Garland, in the Detroit river on the
night of the ed of July, and seventeen of the
excursionists found a watery grave. Following
are the particulars of the distressing accident,
as furnished by the Detroit papers
The pastor Of Trinity Roman Catholic
Church. the Rev. Father Rleyenburgb. in ac-
cordance with his annual custom, took to Mon
roe, Mich, for days pleasure, the acolytes
and altar Toys of his church. There they spent
happy ds.y, and on their return. while COM
ing up the Detroit river, at about 10 o'clock at
night at point just below Grassy Island
lighthouse. the yacht was met by the steamer
Garland of. Detroit, having on board the
holders Union and a large party of friends;
when collision took place, the Garland liter
ally running the steam yacht down and almost
running over her.
The Mamie was cut in two and Immediately
sank taking down nearly all the twenty-four
persons on board. Boats were immediately
lowered aud life-preservers thrown overheard
but with the strong, swift current at this point
where the water is thirty-five feet deep, they
were of little avail. Seventeen persons per-
ished, with but little hope of their bodies being
found for several days.
Tie people on board the Garland, and also
Ter wheelsman, say that both boats would have
been all right had not the yacht suddenly
changed her course and shot across the bows of
the Garland. The captain of the Garland re-
fused to give any particulars, but the wheels
man states that he saw light, which he took
to be an anchor-ight, and no red or green
lights. When about fifty feet from the light
he heard whistle from the Mamie, answered
it, and backed the engines. He called to Capt.
Wright to help on the wheel He thinks the
Mamie must have tried to cross his bow.
1t is generally admitted that there was great
lack of nerve and system in the matter of res
cuing, so far as the officers of the Garland were
concerned, and that the accident was the re-
suit of the greatest carelessness and most GRIM
inal neglect, as the night was clear and moon
shining brightly.
Father Bleyenburgh, the priest who had
charge of the boys on the yacht, has taken his
acolytes ON such excursions yearly. His sad ex-
perience in this case has completely broken him
down, and it is feared the nervous shock may
result in permanently injuring him. His par
ish is the largest in the city or State, and the
grief is widespread.

paid off 1897, 100000 Of the national
debt, and reduced the annual volume Of
interest by 81, 000,0 Between 1847
and 1861, Democratic administrations

BIS ARM BLOWN OFF.

Sad Accident to Capt. II. y. Hurter asst
Evening in the Premature Discharge of
Cannon.
Last night, shortly after the penny
trumpet procession had started on its
rounds, un, placed on the bluff OF the
head of Wabsshaw street, near Madison
school, belched forth its first jubilation for
the supposed election of Garfield. The
second roar followed so closely on the heels
OF the first that several people near the spot
suspected that something was wrong, and
hastened to the scene with all possible speed.
MIR. John A. Bazile was the first man to ar.
rive, and he found Capt. Fl. s. Hurter lying
on the ground in semi uncon-
scious condition, with part of his
right arm blown off. Michael
Schoran had already started for carriage to
convey the wounded man home, and Mr..
Bazille, finding Captain Hurter shivering
with cold, took off his own coat and
covered the sufferer with it. Schoran ran
directly to McKinney's stable, procured a
hack and got back to the scene of the acct
dent as quickly as he could, but it had taken
nearly half an hour, and the wounded man
was suffering severely from lying so long on
the cold, damp earth. He was removed
with all expedition to his home on jackson
street, Sixth and Seventh. Drs. Sta1nm and
Brisbln had been called, but they first had
to find hack, and, by mistake drove to the
place where the accident occur
red, and found that the victim of the
disaster had been conveyed home, where
they Immediately repaired, and dressed the
wounded member. They expect to ampu-
tate to- day. The right hand was complete
ly blown away, and the arm half way to the
elbow, and the disaster was caused by the
premature discharge of the gun while Capt.
Hurter was ramming the charge home and
had the rammer grasped tightly by the
right hand. He was thrown several feet
from the mouth of the gun and hurled to the
earth with terrific force, receiving terrible
shock. GLOBE reporter was present while
his hurt was being dressed and his
means were pitlful to hear. The
doctors could not tell last night
whether Inc arm could have to come off
below the elbow or above it, but seemed in
clined to the belief that it would be above
the elbow. Capt. Hurter is we'll known
about the State house, where he was long
employed, and has lately been identified
with settling up the affairs of the defunct
Farmers q Mechanics bank, and is we'll re-
spected for many manly qualities. Peter
Bnrch was thumbing the piece at the time
OF the accident and had the printing needle
blown through the end of his thumb, tear
ing off the flesh, but fortunately not injur-
ing the bone
