Considering that it was an afternoon meet
ing and that the weather was unfayorable, the
Republican mass meeting at the Court House
here on Monday was fairly attended, though
many Democrats helped to swell the number.
The meeting was called to order by Dir. W..
l.. Seabrook, who proposed DR.. j. }. Weaver,
of Uniontown, for president. DIR. Weaver
introduced Hon. Hart b. Holton, who was
greeted with applause, and said he was graft
fed at his reception and to see so many per-
sons present. ssThere is to be an important
election in Baltimore next Wednesday, said
the speaker. ''There the honest Democrats
had united with the Republican party to over
turn ring rule, and there is an effort being
made to get rid of boss rule in the state.
The Democrats elected reform Governor,
but had tied his hands, and the Legislature
was controlled by the bosses. If am elected
will give you all the reform promised by the
Republicans. / hope you have nominated
good. honest Republicans for the Legislature.
We must have an honest Legislature to have
REFORM Mr.. Holton made some other re-
marks in his four minutes effort, but said
nothing of any Importance.
Mr.. r. Socket Matthews followed. He
spoke of the contest in Baltimore and the
bitter denunciation of Democrats by Demo
Gratis and said that all the charges against
the IlIt8 III the are SiudlI1 WIN ~
gard to the state He quoted from Governor
Hamilton letter and Landed him as the re-
form Governor. He then turned his atten-
ton to the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, and spoke of him as soft and silky
fashionable man, without strength, moral
courage or honesty of purpose. The state of
Maryland, he said outside Of the city of Bal
timore, is Republican, and any man who
denies this is liar, as is the man who asserts
there has been fair and honest election in
the city of Baltimore in the last fifteen years.
The career of the Republican and Democratic
parties was next reviewed in the state and
country the former being landed as the party of
morality and reform, bringing countless bles-
sings, and the latter condemned as corrupt
and dishonest He closed with a sarcastic
and humorous description of the late Demo-
cratic convention.
Col James Wallace also spoke in the after
noon, and Hon. Hart B. Holton, Col. j. G.
MuIlikin, Col. VIM. A. McKellip, Capt. A.
Billingslea and VIM. l.. Seabrook spoke at
meeting at night.

behind time, with clear track, was ordered
to make all time possible to Richmond, when

Now golden Autumn from her open lap
Her fragrant bounties showers; the fields are shorn;
Smiling inward the proud farmer views
The rising pyramids that grace his yards
And counts his large increase his barns are stored
And grcaning saddles bend beneath their load.
This month was called October from being
the eighth month in the year, according to the
ancient Latin calendar. 1t seems unfortu-
nate that September, October, November and
December, should each bear within its name
a numerical designation that does not accord
with its true place in the calendar. But no
attempt seems to have been made to correct
this obvious soecism. The Saxons called
this month HyRmoRath, or the wine month.
Poets and writer's of all kinds arc never tired
of praising this delightful month. It's bril-
liant suns, its cool brisk atmosphere, the var
led glories of the woods, the autumn fruits,
the woodland sports, all render it one of the
most enjoyable in the calendar. Alexander
Smith has superbly described it in one line:
Applied Autumn, golden-cheeked and tan.
A line indeed that seems to picture the whole
scene. We see the grape purpling on the
trellis, the pippen golden hanging from the
richly laden boughs; the ripe yellow maize
bursting through its husks; the nuts dropping
thickly in the forests; the woods in their
crimson and russell tints; the partridge piping
in the stubble fields, and all Nature in serene
and mellow radiance, filling the trimming
cup of human happiness to Overlooking.

explosion of Gas at the Taylor works.

The Chambersburg, Pa, Valley Spirit of
Wednesday says -"Shortly after five o clock
on Monday evening last an explosion occurred
at the gasoline reservoir at the Taylor Works,
by which Superintendent Beck and Foreman
McCollum were injured, the latter quite seri-
ously. A weakness of the light in the shops
at that time indicated that something was in
terfering with the supply of gas. The gen
tlemen named, carrying light, repaired to the
reservoir which is enclosed by brick building
probably fourteen by sixteen feet in size, and
adjacent to the main building. AS soon as
the door was opened and the light brought
near thereto an explosion occurred, the gas
leaking from the reservoir having been ignited
by the fame of the lantern. Messrs. Beck
and McCollum were somewhat burned about
the hands and face and both were thrown
considerable distance by the force of the ex-
plosion. The building surrounding the reser-
voir was almost wholly torn away, the roof
being supported by little else than the frame
of the door and corner of the wall. The
injuries to Mr.. Beck and Mr.. McCullum are
very painful but not serious. Their escape
from fatal injuries seems surprising"
The many friends of Messrs. Beck and Nc
ColIum in this city, heard of the above acct
dent with regret, and extend congratulations
on their fortunate excape from serious injury.

APRoPos Ct the bill introduced in
the New Jersey Legislature placing
all bank cashiers under $50, 900 bonds,
the New York Times hints that the
adoption of the Chinese law for the
protection of depositors would per.
haps prove more effectual In prevent
Ing embezzlement. 1t seems that
some seven hundred years ago, in
China, Li.Tuk-Ho, the able prime
minister of the renowned emperor
Wsn.Lurg, devised a law so simple
and yet 30 binding that since it's
adoption no Chinese bank has been
known to fail. 1t provided that upon
q banks suspendirg payment the
heads of the prenident, cashier and
directors should be neatly Topped of
and piled up in one corner with the
assets. This gave great satisfaction
to the creditors of several bank(
which ualuckily happened to fail just
rs the law went into effect, but fcon
that time to the present day ne
Chinese ~depositer has ever had cause
to regret his confidence.
