The Collapse in Iron.
ON the St. Paul Dispatch.

From the St. Paul Dispatch.
Tho revival of business prosperity produced
by and coincident with the resumption Of spe-
Gle payments came upon the iron interests with
suddenness for which the most far-seeing
were upprepared and an intensity beyond the
dreams of the most sanguine. For: mary
years the iron manufacturers had been losing
money-keeping up their work more for the
sake of their employees than with any hope of
benefit to themselves. With the revival of
trade came great demand for iron. Every
commodity increased in value or in price,
and the quotations for iron in every form
went up ON the topmost wave: Not only the
men who were naturally anxious to recover 3
part at least of their losses, but spectators Of
degree Joined in to carry the price Of iron far
beyond its natural value. The effect soon be-
came apparent. Tho market Of England was
full of iron, accumulated during the long de-
preston. The American market opened 3
vent and An exporation Of iron to this coun-
try began in such proportions g to threaten
the entire iron industry Of this country. More

James Abraham Garfield.


The Chicago convention, after long
and stormy session of six days, succeed
ed in making nomination, and Hon.
James A. Garfield is the man. He is un-
doubtedly the strongest candidate that
the Republicans could have nominated.
With Grant the nominee the success of
the Democratic party would have been
assured. No blunders that the Democ-
racy could make would have been suffi-
cient to place Grant in the presidential
chair. The nomination Of Garfield puts
the result of the election in doubt; but
if the Democratic national convention
does not act wisely in selecting candi-
date, the question will no longer be one
of doubt, but will be settled in favor OF
Garfield. The Republican nominee for
Vice President, Chester a Arthur, of
New York, would be disgrace to any
ticket. Garfield is a man of integrity,
intelligence and firm convictions, but
Arthur cannot righfully claim any Of
these characteristics. He is corrupt,
intriguing politician of some promi,
.nence, and a special friend of Conk-
ling's. 1t is understood that this bum.
mer was put on the ticket to please Conk-
ling. On the second page of this issue
there is very complete report of the
proceedings of the convention up to Sat
urday evening. Though the convention
met on Wednesday, balloting fora candi-
date for President did not begin until
Monday, on which day ballot was taken
twenty-eight times, with nearly the same
result each time. Eight more ballots
were taken on Tuesday, making thirty
SIX altogether. AS there was but little
variation in the first thirty three ballots,

Careless handling of fire arms came
near resulting in fearful tragedy in the
town of Penn a few days ago. On Sum
day, May 9th, Mr.. F, Borkhardt and
wife went away from home leaving the
house IN charge of the children. In their
gambols a boy of about fifteen years of age
took down an old musket which he sup
posed was not loaded and in endeavoring
to "play soldier" pointed it at his little
sister eight years old and pulled the
trigger. The musket happened to be
veteran and showed itself incapable of
refusing to any military duty required of
it by accompanying the boys touch on
the trigger with discharge and lodging
its contents in the breast, neck and lower
part of the little girls face. Luckily 1t
contained small charge of mustard seed
shot which merely buried themselves just
below the skin causing painful but not
dangerous wound. Such criminal negli,
gence should be efectually punished.

Last Sunday evening an eight-year cid son
of Joseph Zigan, of Hartford, went after the
COWS about half mile from home and was
lost. His father told him not to go beyond a
certain meadow, but when the little fellow got
there he saw the cattle on . hill just beyond
and determined to 60 after them When he
reached the place where the cattle were he was
completely turned around and instead Of driv.
ing the cattle toward home he tried to drive
them in the opposite direction, but they re-
fused to go. = After several attempts he gave
it up and started for home, as he supposed,
but in reality in an opposite direction, going
west into the heart Of the great forest. His
father soon missed him and at once suspected
the truth. He informed the neighbors who
turned out and fired guns and awoke the
echoes Of the forest with their cries, but moth
ing was heard Of the boy. Early Monday
morning he came out into road in sight d
his uncles house and also near to . party shu
were searching for him. He was almost
chilled 70 death, being thinly clad and wet to
the skin by the cold rain and and vet bushes,
and had slept in . tanarac swamp the latter
part of tho right. He was taken to = house

We will not argue the question re-
garding the virtue or value of lightning
rods to buildings. Sensible, practical,
scientific men differ widely in their opin>
ions on the subject. Volumes have been
written on both sides, IN which, in our
opinion, the weight of testimony is
against rods as a reliable safeguard.
Yet, if people feel safer with them, it is
certainly their privilege to use them.
If lightning rods lessened danger from
fire, insurance companies would make
concessions in their favor, as they do
when buildings are made of stone or
brick. That they do not, is ample evil
dence that in the minds of insurance men
rods are no protection.

siding in the vicinity ofst. Joseph's church;
wasfata1ly injured by being go.ced and trampled
by an unruly COW. The animal first made an
attack upon Mr.. Rausch. who made his es-

throwing her down, crushing her left shoulder
and goring her terribly. One horn entered
her mouth, tore up the right cheek bone and
protruded through the skull just back of the
eye. Dr.. Northrup was summoned and upon
examination, found the unfortunate woman to
be also injured internally, and that the case
was q hopeless one. She lived, however, until

Gen. Logan had his convention opened with

Nourse evidently has no doubt as to the poll

of the remarkable production: "Almighty
and all wise God, we come to thee at this crit
ical moment Of our national history, and ask
thee in thy wisdom to make US wise, and out
of our confusion make thine order. We de-
sire the success of this party, believing that it
will further commercial prosperity; that it
will favor morality and will do things which
are right in thine eyes; and therefore we pray
that thou wilt show this convention the men
whom thou hast chosen for the offices that arc
to be filed. And VIC pray, . God, that no
mistake may be made to-day or during the
period of this convention, so that our political
opponents may not go into power on Our mis-
takes. We thank thee that there are so many
good men from whom to select. In thy wis
dom, help US to choose the men, and we ask
it all in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen"

sions at Cornwall, and all that has al
ready been done on 1t will be razed to the
ground, so that every trace of what was
once intended to be one of the finest

The grounds around it will be plowed

within two weeks. The work of demoli-
ton will be commenced at once. On
Wednesday afternoon the remains of his
wife, who died recently IN Paris,
France, were brought in special train
from Philadelphia to Lebanon, and con.
signed to their last resting place under
the new Episcopal church, now in course

operations of Mr.. Coleman ceased work.
The death of Mr.. Coleman's wife is sup
posed to have led him to the above de-

A circumstance happened at Highland
Falls, N. Y, last week, that will serve to
check reprehensible practice, to say the
least. Students are prepared at Highland
Falls for admission at the West Point
Military academy. Ayoung man named
Buck, from Dallas, Texas, had lately en-
tered as a pupil; and, as usual when new
corners were admitted, the boys proposed
to have some fun with him. Buck did
not receive insults and abuse in kindly
manner, and after enduring these things
for while his patience gave out, and he
shot the leader of his tormentors through
the abdomen, inhicting a wound that
will probably prove fatal. The young
man who was wounded is son of John
G. Thompson, of Columbus, Ohio, SER
geant-at-arms of the house Of representa-
tives. We hope this will teach the young
fellows to be civil to new corners.

for better prices. Only when the stock on

shut out spectators and gamblers, and to
keep such grip upon the market as will pre-

A Mule That Broke Up a Picnic

On Saturday, in Talbot county, thu
colored people gave q picnic, to which
Their friends in the surrounding conn
try were invited. The forenoon was
passed in an enjoyable manner. The
dinner was all that could be wished,
and after disposing Of it many engaP-
ed in a dance. The fun continued for
an hour or SO, when several shouts nea
ct hand caused all to run in that direc
t;on, when a most ludicrous sight was
presented. A long meek looking null
bad his eals set forward, and was do
ing his utmost to demolish with hls
heels a couple of bee hives, The bee'
were resenting the attack, and III large
numbers were singing him. Tins
causedthe mule to kick 0 wildly.
Several persons attempted to unite thu
animal, but came off with face and
hands covered with bees. BY this
time the party was forced to scatter OLE
account of the bees. which were attack
ing all whom they met. All sought
protection ia house. At last some n
succeeded in cutting the halter, and
the mule made a dash. This broke up
the picnic. The mnle had been bor>
rowed by a negro whom he had kicked
abent aye4f since. anl for revenge. j
is supposed, the negro tied him near
the hives.
