Mrs. Burrows. of Kaufman, Texas, was
seated at her tea-table on Tuesday evening
OF last week. a sharp cry from his wife
caused Mr.. Burrows TO look up. She held
her tea-cup in her hand, which was half @ay
up to her lips. Mr.. Burrows asked what
was the matter and she replied 'I'm shot
through the head" AS she spoke a second
electric current envelOped her head. The
cup was knocked from her hand. She tried
to get uo but was Knocked insensible by a
quickly following current. Mr.. Burrows was
not touched. The poor woman was ratiOna
on the following day, but could not open her
eyes. Last year two men and three animals
were killed within few yards of the same
house.

LIFE-AND- DEATH STRUGGIF-Tt now
seems probable that Pittsburg is ahout to
witness an extensive and prolonged struggle
between capital and labor. The trouble IS
anticipated between the iron nanufacrur-
ers and the Amalgamated Association of
woods Run. A conference between the
representatives of the two great interests
was held yesterday. Mr. Jarrett for tbe
ANA lgamated Association, presented the
modified scales adopted at the District unnet
ing, and the manufacturers retired for CON
suitatlon. At the end of five minutes thev
returned, and their spokesman announced
that they were willing to discuss the proDos-
ed equalization of the wages of scrappers
'AS to the other demands, i" he saiG eve can
not grant them. On this point we are fully
decided, and it is therefore useless to discuss
them Is this your ultimatum 2" asked
MI Jarrett. 1T is, . replied the spokesman

Amalgamated Association. " said Mr. lar

MICHAEL DAvITT in a speech at Manches-
Ter yesterday. says the New York World Of
the 25th, put the Irish question truly and
forcibly when he said that if Mr. Gladstone
really meant to suppress crime in ireland
he must deal with ireland as England deals
with Canada England holds Canada by the
same tenure of conquest by which she holds
ireland. When England conquered Canada
Gahada was peOpled by race as foreign to
England in blood, speech and religion as the
inhabitants of Ireland. Within very recent
times the English rule in Canada has been
menaced by rebellion, and TODAY there are
thousands of Canadians who regard the SOW
ereiSnty of England over the Dominion with
dislike Does anybody in his senses belle We
that England could hold Canada and main
tam order there under n system sucb e Is To-
day administered to Ireland bv the Fnolish
Cabinet through Dublin Castle? And vet
during tie brief century and a half which
has elapsed since the flag Of France was ex-
PEELED by arms from the soil of Canada tbe
treatment by England of the Canadian ppo-
pie has been the perfection OF human reason
ana human Justice in comparison to treat.
ment meted ont by England to the DeoDie of
Ireland not for a century and half but for
seven centuries past. If Canada is loval
now to the English Crown il is simnIv he
cause the Canadian people are permitted uD-
DER tue English Crown to manage their own
ahatrs 10 their own way, and being permit
TED TO do this, find advantages in the connec.
ton with England which indispnse them to
disturb 1t. If the connection of ireland with
Great Britain is really advantageous to the
Irlsn people, the Irish people, who are at
least as intelligent as the paODIe of Fooland
may surely be trusted to appreciate that
tact and to govern themselves accordingly.
certainly the English Radicals are bound
not only TO believe this but act on their be-
llef. Mr.. Gladstone who signalzed himself
years ago by cutting loose the Ionian islands
from their dependence upon England on the
ground that the people of those islands had
the right to choose their political associations
for themselves, is the last man alive who can
consistently refuse that right to the people
of Ireland.

IF Senator Cameron and his lieuten-
ants still have any doubts as to whether
the Independent movement will amount
to anything in Pennsylvania this fall
they will probably be removed when full
accounts reach them of the rousing mass
meeting which was held in WelIstoro.
Tioga county, on Saturday afternoon.
The representatives of two thousand re-
publican voters were there ard thevsex-
pressed themselves in regard to Gamer
on and his methods in away that neither
the boss nor anyone else can mistake.
The stalwart Oligarchy is characterized
In the platform of principles, which was
enthusiastically- adopted, as ga danger
ous, dOmineeTing and autocratic power. ,
The platform 2endOrses Wolfe undualifi-
edly, and 'plank'was received with
stlong manifestations of approval. Sen
atOr Mitchell has done well in this. as
Wolfe is his ablest supporter and has
been greatspart of the backbone of the
independent movement. Mitchell has
talked good deal aAd vaciIlated n good
deal, and his course has given rise to
much doubt as to whether be could be
depended upon to-lead the'Independents
with required vigor. But his speech at
WellSbOrO on Saturday will place him
on firm footing as thezleader of the
movement. There was no uncertain
tone in his utterances. as will be seen by
the following extract from his speech
The new party has come and it has come
to stay. regret to have to say all this but
say it as patriot Pennsylvania and an
American. Put this abOminabIe boss system
and polls system down if the best man living
goes down with them. cloud applause J
we Will put up men who own themselves
VINO nave titles to their own manhood and
we Will ask the people Of PENNSYLVANIA to
vote for them. If Mr.. Cameron thinks he
owns this State we will give him a good op-
portunlty this year to get title to his prom
erty II you want TO grant the title of Cam
eron forever 20 you and your State 90 and
vote his ticket"
The boom given to the movement in
WellsbOrO' will be felt in other parts of
the State and Senator MitcheII's manly
utterances will add to his numerous
friends throughout the commonwealth.

North Carolina have always maintained
that to their forefathers belong the
credit of having been the first of the

himself of a copy of the Mechlenberg
document, incorporated certain portions
of it into bis own immortal Declaration.
