bold BurgIaFS.

CANTON, o., February A. Three
masked burglars entered the residence
of Isaac Markly, wealthy farmer
near Greentown, this county, attacked
Mr.. Markly with clubs, and at the
point of revolvers made him go to bed
while they went through the house.
They secured a gold watch valued at
SIS and money to the value of SIS.
After ransacking the house they bound
the man, his wife and son, with ropes,
and warned them of instant death il
they tried to follow them. They were
traced to Canton, and the officers have
a clue which in all probability will
lead to the arrest of the rascals.

THE Republican papers are deep y
concerned about the condition of the
Democratic party. One would natur-
aIly suppose that to heal the troubles
and dtssensions in their own ranks
would occupy about all their spare
time. When they have wrought out
the "reforms within their party
which they have been SO long prom
ising. they can better afford than now
to direct their attention to the affairs
of their neigh6ors. They should not
neglect the important work of pluck
ing the beam out of their own eye.

A Milne Horror.

RICHMOND, VA. February 3.-In-
formation was received tonight OF
gas explosion at Grove Shaft, Midlo-
Ihian coal mines, Chesterfield county.
Thirty-twO men are caught under the
ground.
A later dispatch states there is little
or no hope for any of the thirty-two
men in the shaft. Gas testers went
down nearly to the bottom of the pit
three times, but were forced to return
on account of suffocatiOn by the smoke
and gas. They report the pit Oh fire,
but will make another effort in the
morning to search for the unfortunates.
News of the disaster spread very rap
| idly, and in a short time crowd had
gathered. The scene is most distress
! ing, as nearly every one had some rel
atives or friends among the entOmbed
miners. OF those entOmbed ten were
whites and twenty-five negroes.

The Tariff Comm ission.

RICHMOND, VA, September 26.-The
tariff commission held a session here o-day
in the rooms Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Il. E Blankenship, president of the Cham
ber, delivered speech of welcome, III
which he said the citizens of this city en-
braced both protectionists and free traders,
but the majority were in accord with the
spirit that prompted the formation of this
commission. and believed the time had
come for revision of the tariff. VIM. G.
Crenshaw, president of the Atlantic and
Virginia Fertilizing Company, and vice
president of the Sulphur Mines Company,
of Virginia, thought that Con
gress would not, and ought not
to entertain the idea of putting duty on
fertilizers, although they werr imported
last year to the extent OF hundreds of thou
sands of tons. The point which he wished
to bring to the attention of the commission
was the proposition of Joseph Campbell,
made to the commission to admit Spanish
pig metal free of duty. As representative
of the Sulphur Mines Company, he argued
against that proposition, and said that in
stead of Spanish ore being admitted at 20
per cent. ad valorm as an eunimmunerated
article, it should be taxed So a ton, which
would be an equivalent tax on copper and
iron contained in that ore.
w. n. Jones, of Petersburg, a sumac
manufacturer, made an argument in favor
of increasing the duty on foreign sumac
from 10 per cent. advalorem to 500 ton.
He stated in the course of his examination
that the rate was equal when originally i'm
posed to about $15 ton, and was equal at
the present prices of sumac to about s. SO.
He wished it increased to $40 ton specific
duty. Various other arguments were made
exclusively in the interest of protection.
Mr.. Blankenship again addressed the
commission, this time in the capacity of all
iron manufacturer, representing the Old
Dominion Iron and Nail Works. He gave
an encouraging account of the condition of
the iron trade in Virginia, which he said
had been built upon the present tariff. He
advocated specific duty on iron ore, and
said generally that the action of Cress in
the spring convention was the action of
Virginia iron men. So far as his acquaint-
ance was any guide, the mass of Virginians
are protectionists not all of them, per-
haps, in the broad sense in which he him
self is, but all go as far as the tariff for
revenue, with the incidental protection. He
thought that, barring bad legislation, the
outlook for Virginia is very promising.

speedy and terrible death at the car shed

the engine to special train of three or
four coaches, to be taken by Capt. Il. j.

without effect. Bacon came along and pro-
posed to assist. He was standing between
the front coach and the tender of the en-

the time, and was arranging the coupling so
as to motion back. Just at this juncture
