THE SOLID SOUTH,
which Threatens D,sruot,ou.


washington, 5.-Bourbons from all
over the south are reviling Malone and
display extreme trepidation at the con-
slant ouicropping Of an inclination to
follow his footsteps on the part of prom.
lnent men In other southern; states. 1t is
believed among republicans very Qener.
ally that the break in the solid south will
soon extend al along the line, and there
are strong indications of split on the
tariff issue between the democratic party
and the Louisiana democracy, the lead
ing sugar manufacturers. A new Or
leans democrat, who Is in the CITY, said
to-day: We want the protection Of our
sugar interests in Louisiana, and that ia
our chief interest. All Of our fortunes
are invested in sugar and we would be
ruined by free trade. Then, the govern
ment is bound by contract to protect
us, for we were told that We would
be protected providing that we
were 10 60 into the business. Then, in
the face OF this understanding that we
were to be protected against Cuban and
all other usgars, here comes the demo-
cratic party and talks about tariff for rev
enue only. That will not do. If can
Tass WAS made in Louisiana, as it might
have been on ttat issue, Hancock and
English could not have carried the state,
ard no party with fee trade plank 10
Its plstform will ever do it again. Now
the republican party is really with US in
our interests. First, there is the matter
of protection; and, second, the republi-
can party is understood to be in favor of
liberal appropriations for national i'm
provemente That suits US. Give US
protection for our sugar and build up
levess on the Mississippi, and we will
make sill the sugar the people Of the
United States need. and more too.

Double Murder.

WATERBURY, VT, March 14.-Mi-
chael McCaffrie, aged 80 years,
while insane on Sunday last. butch
cred his wife and his mother and
hid the bodies in the cellar of his
house near here. Coming TO town
with his seven children to-day, the
eldest gave the first intimation of
the terrible murder. McCaffrie,
who is now in Jail, talks necessarily.
Some doubt his insanity, but every
indication points TO his being de-
mented.
McCaffrie stated that whatever he
had done he thought he did right /;
that he fought the women in self
defence; that they got hold of him
but he made shot work for them :"
that he took til m by the throats
and killed them with a knife, and
threw them down the cellar. The
two youngest child en- of the seven
are twins and are ear old. Since
the murder McCaffric has fed the
younger children with the aid of
the two Oldest, aged IA and 8 years,
and did the chores of the house un-
til to-day, when he brought the
children to Waterbury Centre.
The murder was committed in a
large room, in which all the parties
slept, and the old lady, who was
blind, had one of the twins in her
arms when she was killed. The
neighbors who have seen McCaflrie
recently had not noticed any symp-
toms of insanity about him. lie
came to church here with the whole
family two weeks ago.

Distressing Accident.

ST. LOUIS, March 17.-Yesterday
q horrible accident occurred at St
Joseph. Some boys were digging a
tunnel through hill on the out
skirt of the town for boyish purpose.
They took turns in small parties.
The tunnel was several feet wide, and
had been pushed into the hillside
about ten feet. At 3 o'clock some
of the boys went away, leaving at
work Michael Garrish, aged seven
teen, Allen Fai,es, aged nine, Samuel
Montgomery, aged eight, John
Montgomery, aged fourteen, and
Nicholas Kell, aged thirteen. When
the boys who had left returned at 5
o'clock they found the mouth of the
tunnel closed by a heavy mass of
earth. Their cries to their compan-
ions brought no answer, and hastily
they began to remove the earth. Two
feet from the entrance he protruding
hand of young Failes was encounter
ed. An alarm was then given and
soon hundreds gathered on the spot.
The lifeless bodies of the five boys
were unearthed in the presence of
their anguished mothers and sisters.
Michael Garrish alone showed symp-
toms of life by faint pulsations of
the heart, which ceased almost as
soon as his body was. exhumed.
All the boys belonged to well-to-do
families. A coroner's inquest was
held this morning.

Trouble at a Funeral.

READING, March 14.-Quite ar
excitement was occasioned in this
City yesterday afternoon at the fun
eral of Captain A. C. Greth, a
leading manufacturer here. The
cortege proceeded to st. Peters
Catholic church, and included the
Reading Artillerists and Keim Post
No. rs, G. A. r. The members oi
the post were informed that they
could not be allowed to enter the
church without first removing theiI
badges. A vote was taken and the
members unanimously decided moi
to comply with the order received
from the church authorities. The
secret society therefore remained
outside of the church, and after SER
vice and mass the Catholic clergy did
not accompany the cortege to the
cemetery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 13.-
Capt. James NJ. Davis, Deputy
United States Revenue Collector was
assassinated at 2 o'clock this after
noon, at point three miles distant
from McMinnville. while proceeding
from Beersheba Springs to McMinn-
vile. The shot was fired by unknown
persons concealed behind the bushes
on the roadside. Davis, who was
accompanied by Thomas Vickers,
fell from his horse when the first shot
was fired but arose and was proceed
ing toward two of his party, named
Campbell and Cathecart. when a sec
ond shot was fired and Davis fell
again. Campbell and Cathecart rode
up in time to see several men walk
out from behind the bushes and fire
at Davis, holding their pistols very
near his head. Compbell and Ca
thecart were also fired upon and
retreated, leaving the body of their
commander. The Coroner was given
notice, and, upon examining the
body, discovered 20 bullets in it. The
skull was crushed as if blows had
been dealt upon it by some weapon.
Davis was one of the bravest and
best officers in the South. He had
national reputation through the
numerous encounters which he had
with Illicit distillers. He was "a
years of age. One year ago he kill
ed John Welch, in Putnam County.
Welch had previously threatened to
kill Davis, and broke Davis's skull
in two places, and shot him in the
thigh before Davis ended his exist
ance. John Hampton was also shot
and killed by Davis near Hampton S
distillery, in Lincoln County. At
one time in Tracy CITY. Davis unaid-
ed, fought eight illicit distillers, kill
ing Joseph Haynes, wounding two
men, and arresting one. He en-
countered Campbell Morgan's band
in Overton county in 1873, and dur
ing the battle, which lasted three
days, wounded several. Morgan
was shot in the shoulder by Davis
in contest previous to the Overton
county affair. Morgan afterward
Joined Davis party and did good
service for the revenue department.
The information of Davis assassin
alton was telegraphed to Commits
sioner Raum, who will doubtless in
crease the revenue force and make
a determined fight against the out
laws.

GREExvrLLE. Miss, March 16.-
The backwater in this county is now
about stationery, and it is presumed
has fully found its level in this VI
cinity; hence. the extent of the
overflow can nov i,,' ,i.dicated. A
point Of varying width is maintain
ed almost entire On tie western
bank Of Deer creek. la fropt Of
Lake Lee the places are all above
water; and from Lake Lee to the
Isaquna line, the plantations on the
river front are entirely free from
water, as are also the places on the
west side of Lake Washington.
Those on the east of that Lake are
above water, except the back por-
ton. This is an accurate statement
of the condition of Washington
county-the largest cotton-growing
county in the State. In the south
about half of the cultivated land is
under water, and in most of the
other, crop preparations are pro-
gressng. The people think that the
reports sent from here and other
points are exaggerated. The sltua-
ton, however, is bad enough-al-
most appalling, in fact-when liter
ally stated. The counties above
and opposite here are now generally
inundated, and the distress and
losses are greater than they have
been in Arkansas. There is very
little river land not overhowed, ex-
cept on the circle of Lake Chicot.
This is high ground, and its natural
protection is exceptionally good.

REPORTS of strikes and manifesto
tions of dissatisfaction among work
ingmen reach us from AL parts of
the country. AT Omaha railroad
laborers are on strike and already
rioting has occurred and the militia
ry have been called out. At Pitts
burgh the iron workers in some Of
the mills are on a strike, and in a
spirit of lawlessness are trying to
intimidate others from taking their
places. In the Cumberland district
three thousand coal miners have
struck against a reduction of wages.
In the Lehigh district the miners
have been reduced to half time, and
signs of a strike are apparent. In
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, and at
Fall River, the cotton spinners and
operatives in the mills are on a
strike, and there is a disposition
shown among the Trades Union
everywhere to test their strength
with employers. There is no dis
guising the fact that the business
interests of the country are serious
ly threatened, as general strikes are
always disastrous. 1t has been evi-
dent for some time that there has
been an over production in many
departments of industry, and an
under production in others. Mining
and manufacturing have been push
cd 10 their utmost capacity, while
the cost of living has been increased
by the short crop of last year. La
borers want increased wages to meet
the increased cost of living, while
their employers find the market
dull and prices falling, because Of
the over production, and Of course,
begin to curtail productions and re-
duce expenses then the operatives,
instead of curtailing their expenses
and trying to tide over until the
surplus stock is worked off, and
there is again an active demand for
their labor at good prices, rush into
strikes, and thus deprive themselves
of the wages they are earning, the
mills and mines close, and months Of
distress and want follow meantime
the over production is consumed.
demand springs up, wages go up TO
the old standard, and employment
and content again reign for a sea-
son, and apparently no thought is
given to the millions that have been
wasted and lost during the time of
enforced idleness. Nothing appears
to have been learned from expert
ence. The losses, and crimes, and
misery, and disgrace of 1877 are
apparently forgotten, and it looks as
if the country will be called upon
again to endure the depredations of
lawless hordes of idle men, without
work and without bread.

A Distiisery and Church Burned by
Incendlaries.

New HAVEN, March 17.-Early
this morning Konold's gin distillery
at Grapevine Point, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, whice it is supposed
wos of incendiary origin. The loss
on the building is from $4,000 to
5000; on the machinery and
stock from $4,000 to $4,000 in
surance, $4,000
Mr.. Konold was unable to state
the exact amount of liquor in the
building, the government agent,
Warner, having the material under
government fastening. An hour Ia
ter, ane before the engines were call
ed away from Grapevine Point, a
fire broke out in the Calvary Bap-
tist church. which was burned out,
the steeple and walls remaining
standing. The church was built
fifteen years ago and cost 100000.
The damage by fire is from $4,000
$4,000, and the insurance covers
about $4,000. The fire is also sup
posed to have been the work of an
incendiary.

Three Workmen Killed.

PrrTsBuRGH, March, 16.-An acci
dent occurred yesterday afternoon
at the Rosetraver coal works few
miles up the Monongahela river, by
which three men, named Ira Smith
William Houseman and Arthur
Jones lost their lives. 1t appears
that loaded coal car broke loose
from the top of the incline, which
is about three hundred yards long
and very steep, and plunged into
the tipple at the bottom, where
the three unfortunate men were at
work. They heard the car descend
ing, but did not have time to make
their escape. They were dreadfully
mangled, and two of them died
almost instantly. The other lived
long enough totell how the acci-
dent happened. Two of them leave
families.

How the Wolfe Independents Will
Get Delegates

The committeof seven appointed
by the Wolfe Independent Confer
ence met at the Girard House yes
terday and agreed upon a plan for
membership in their State Conven-
ton. which meets here on the 25th
of May next. The committee of
seven agreed to select one person in
each Senatorial district, and then to
empower the committee of fifty to
supervise the election of delegates to
the State Convention of one from
each Senatorial district, and one per-
son for each Representative. Pri-
mary elections are to be held the
same as other parties. This will
make the convention consist of 251
members. The list of those selected
for the Senatorial districts was kept
secret, because letters were only
sent out last night notifying them
of their appointment, and theil
names will not be revealed until
their acceptances are at hand.

A Capture of Courtcrfeiters.

DURUouE, March 17.-Another
gang Of counterfeiters has been UNI
earthed near Elk Park, Clayton
county. Officers Of Elk Park swoop-
ed down on gang of five occupy
ing shsnty up in the woods near
Elk Port, and succeeded in captur-
ing two Of them. The officers also
captured Fifty new silver dollars
and several moulds. The money
was excellent counterfeit, being
composed in part of glass which
gave it the ring of genuine money.
Only shrewd experts after care
full inspection could detect it as a
counterfeit. Officers are now on
the track of the three who escaped.
The prisoners are pow in Jail at Elk
Port, and will be brought to this
city for trial before the United States
Commissioner. Their names are
Wm. Stevens and w. Ferguson.

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

LYNN, Mass, March 15.-About
seven o'clock this morning boiler
in Goodwin Brothers shoe factory
exploded, completely wrecking the
building. The first man taken out
was horribly mangled, and be said
there were more men in the ruins.
Further search revealed the dead
body Of John Moore, the engineer.
Soon after another body was found,
still exposed to the escaping steam.
But the victim was yet alive. 1t is
feared that there are three or four
more victims in the ruins. Had the
accident happened an hour later the
loss of life would have been much
greater, as there would have been
fifty workmen in the building. A
portion of the boiler weighing one
ton was blown quarter Of mile.
No additional bodies had been dis
covered up to noon. The name of
the second man taken from the ru-
ins is Perley Doyle, who will proba-
bly, recover. Several others are se-
verely injured.
