ED. CHRONICLE: Presuming some ac
count of .he details of the terrible accl>
dent which occurred here at the Demo-
cI attic Publication on Saturday evening,
I'D inst, by d resident here, Will be ac-
ceptable To your readers, we pen the
following, giving the facts as near aS can

distance away fromthe village buildings.

meeting seemed progressing favorably
until it was more than half over, when

were lookers-On forty feet away; there
were also some Others near. Oliver Dom
ner, standing near, fired a Roman candle
directly over the key, which had some
loose powder spilled on top, and the
leaden screw not being tightened, spark
from the rocket dropped on the LOOSE
powder aud communicated to the conf
tents below. Bewley, Barnes, Loper an
Daniels were each burned by the explu-
sion that followed. Bewley died to-day
about o'clock, funeral tomorrow at l.,
interment at MorristOwn. Barnes is in
an extremely critical condition, and not
expected TO live at this writing. Ed.
Loper is seriously burned, but it is
| thought he may recover. Clark Daniels
was painfully but not very seriously in
jured. .-.-
The poor unfortunates were The mosi
| manly sufferers L ever saw, never utter

rles consisted exclusively of burned
faces, necks, heads and hands, eXcepl
young Bewley. who was lifted up off his
feet and thrown over on his back, receiy-
ing internal injuries from the shock.
The sympathy of common communi-
~ goes out III sorrow to the bereaved
parents of young Bewley. who was a
youth of much promise and a faVerltt
with his young friepds. The young men
were all from l6 TO Is years of age.
We are not aware that carelessness, tU
which criminality may attach, can justly
be laid to the charge of any one, yet
trust the lesson may not be lost for gOol
to those concerned in the terrible affair.
The sufferers recei we'd fatherly care
and excellent treatment 1t the hands OF
Drs. Estep & Parks, whose office present
ed the appearance of a hospital over
Sunday. and all that kindness can sug
gest has been rendered to the sufferers
and their friends by profoundly sym
pathizing community.
Under other circumstances we should
have had some criticisms to place before
our Democratic brethren, upon the pro
prety of such IA meeting, its natural
consequence and effect upon society, es-
pecially upon the Republican majority OF
oar village. but in the presence of this
sorrow we refrain.

THE st. Clairsville Gazette says its
party is about to take possession Ut the
National Government, from which its
enemies have almost squeezed the life"
Twenty four years ago, the so-called
Democratic party was beaten in the Ma
tional election. la all the States south
of the Ohio river the party flew to arms
to resist the administration of the gov
ernment by the Republicans. Mr.. Lin
coin went into Office with an empty
treasurJ-tbe government paying twelve
per centum per annum for loans. and
even at that rate they were difficult to
negotiate. Individual borrowers suffer
ed at like rate. The country was flooded
with "wiId Cat" banks. A man who
went fifty miles away from home had to
carry specie, or suffer heavy shave on
the bills of his home banks. Business
WAS slow-raIlroad building was slow
the development of the country was
slow-and wages were low. This had
been the situation of the country for
wears before the accession of power by
the Republicans.
Au empty treasury,-the arsenals of
the county robbed of their arms by the
revolving Democracy, and a great war
were the assets received from the last
Democratic Administration.
Next March the administration going
into power will receive treasury con-
tanning over S4O0,0OO.O00 of money, a
capacity to borrow at one-fourth the rate

ceiyed by the mind of man, country de-

Not an individual who knows any,
thing of the history of the last thirty
years, but knows that the foregoing
statements are true. and that they are
not in the least exaggerated; and no
honest man for a moment can entertain
the opinion expressed 10y the Gazette.
The prospects are that the so-called
Democrats will get chance TO try their

He Wanted a Change.

A very active Democratic ward poll
tician in Bellaire talked a great depI
about wanting change, during the
Campaign. He was not able to say just
why change should be made, except
that twenty-four years was long enough
for one party to have control. and he
wanted change. Well, Cleveland was
elected, and we understand that the
change our friend wanted has come. He
has had very nice. steady JOB, at which
he has earned 81 25 per day, which he
has been compelled to change from,
to a job at which he gets 81 40 per day.
We apprehend that there will be plent,

change during four years of tariff re-

THE business outlook continues very

than last year. Each succeeding day
since the election, the prospect has be.
come worse, and no improvement is prob
able in the near future.
1t Is conceded that a reduction of taxes

This is disagraeable prospect, bul
manufacturers, and all people in manu-
featuring districts, especially, must pre-
pare themselves to make the best of it.
Except for the Necessity of a reduction

to prevent any further damage to the
tariff laws; but this necessity is press
