4 MAN TERRIBLY INJURED BY AN EXPLOSION
AT THE READING IRON-wORgS.

4 MAN TERRIBLY INJURED BY AN EXPLOSION
AT THE READING RoN-woRgs.
A terrible accident took place at the roll
ing-mill OF the Reading Iron-Works Sat-
urday afternoon, in which Aaron Ecken-
road was fearfully burned by an explosion
Of hot cinder. A telegram says carriage
was run full OF cinder from the furnace
and drawn outside to cool off. Meanwhile
Eckenroad went to his supper. When he
returned he pulled the carriage into the
yard to dump it, thinking the cinder had
entirely cooled off. He emptied the Gin
der on the snow, when terrific explosion
followed, throwing the carriage twenty
feet in the air. The cinder flew in all
directions and raised a cloud Of smoke.
Eckenroad received the full force OF the
explosion, and his clothing was literally
burned from his body. He presented q
fearful appearance when picked up. His
face aud body were covered with cuts and
burns. There were two holes In his side,
one touching his ribs; his chest and lower
limbs were burned, and his condition to-
night Is critical.

Virginia is to-day, so far as heI material
interests, her reputation at home ana
abroad. her every prospect for the future,
are concerned, much better on than sne
was before the late election. In the defeat
of the Malone party heavy load has been
lifted from the social ard industrial wei
fare Of the whole South. The hopes OF the
people are encouraged, their seli-respect Is
heightened, their progressive spirit Is slim
uIated. and the principles Of fair and hon

ground imprcgnable to all further conspi-
racies against their supremacy Washing

The idea OF running Mr.. Pendleton for
the yice-presidepcy Is purely senti-
mental one. His Greenback record would
embarrass him more than II did in 1S8S.-

Nobody will seriously propose to nomi-
nate any Greenbacker as the Democratic
candidate. Nobody who was led off by
such phantom as fiat money can be elect
ed President or Vice-Presidcnt OF the
United States. But In justice to Dir. PEN

crazy of this state to secure at least three,
and possibly four, members of congress
Hon. 'Ignatius Donnelly, it is said, will be
urged by his Democratic friends to take the
field against Maj. Strait, and If he does there
can be no question as to the result. In the
first district Hon. A. Bierman can, and WILL
defeat Milo White In our own district the
contest is a peculiar one, and reminds us of
Mr.. Goodhue's joke about the race between
the steamboat Otter and Dayton's lime kiln.

any reasonable man doubt the issue

sire to be represented in the congress of the
United States by a man Of magnetism and
innuence-by one who will faithfully repre-
sent them and secure such legislation as
may tend to promote their interest, then they

President Hill,s Late Yiaiton.s.

President Hill, of the Manitoba seems to
have struck good lead in his efforts to in
duce the Dakota farmers along his road to
take greater interest in fine stock. The
Mimic Journal says
President J. j. Hill did very graceful
thing this week. He extended an invitation
to a number of gentlemen in different parts
of Walsh, Grand Forks, and Nelson counties
to pay visit to his big stock farm near st.
Paul, coupling with the invitation, passage
over the Manitoba line. The fortunate gem
tlemen were glad to avail themselves of the
invitation. The party when it reached st.
Paul consisted of twenty-one persons, of
which number fifteen were from Walsh
county. Mr.. Hill took great pains that his
guests should see every thing there was to be
seen, and made the visit very pleasant for
them. They returned well pleased with their
visit, and fully convinced that Mr.. Hill in
the course he has taken, viz: of distributing
animals from his heard through the counties
on his line of road; is doing a great benefit
to our country which cannot be too heartily
apprecated.'

been any question of reform. tits conserva-
tive to an extent which bears the appearance
of being obstinacy, if not a species of I'M
yielding mulishness. II has especially OPP
posed all measures for reform in the fran
chise, and by its attitude in this respect, it
managed to retain the parliamentary fran
chise without change from the fifteenth to
the nineteenth century. In 1882 reform
franchise bill passed the house, and was
thrown out in the Lords, and was only fiual-
ly passed by few riots and threat to ere
ate enough new peers to overwhelm the OPP
position. In the removal, of the restrictions
against Catholics and Jews, the House of
Lords was found on the illiberal side. All
these occurrences provoked opposition to the
upper house, until there came time when
men began to question its value, and to
openly assert that it would be for the benefit
OF the country to secure its abolition. OF
late years, there has been no lack of public
prints which openly and boldly take the po-
stion that the House of Lords is an encum-
brance, and its total extinction would be a
great advance in the interests of just
method of administration of the affairs of tho
government.
This indicates a great change in the posi-
ton Of the peers. AT the time of the obtain
ing OF Magma Charta, and for centuries
thereafter, the peers and the king held the
greater part of the powers of government
Now, the House of Commons occupies tine
ground once possessed by the king and the
peers, and the position is reversed. The
e,rs have fallen in the public estimate, and
have been gradually shorn of many of their
privileges. Ten years ago the House of Lords
possessed substantially the rights of a SUI
preme court with power to revise the judg-
ments of all the lower courts. The creation
OF supreme court in 1875, took these powers
from the Lords, and thus very largely re-
duced their sphere of activity.
While the more radical of the English
newspapers and orators are not hesitating to
demand the abolition of the Lords, it is likely
to be the case that the latter will not con-
tinue to brave the storm which is raging.
When the critical moment comes, the peers
will conclude that it will be safer to go with
the popular current than to endeavor to dam
its progress. They did SO in 1882, and in
1881 they were equally mindful Of the posi-
Bile dangers of too prolonged opposition to
the will of the House, and yielded to the de-
mand of the country for liberal legislation
for the relief of Ireland. The upper house
may once more yield its opposition and Sc
cure temporary immunity, but these contin-
ued efforts to defeat the will of the people
are having an effect on the popular mind of
of England which will, in time force the
downfall of this parliamentary branch. The
people are beginning to see that class which
has no distinct representatives, or constitu-
encies, and which holds office from the acct
dent of rank is not only not an essential in
free government, but is positive detri-
ment.

The New York Savings Institution.

NEW YORK, July 23.-In the inquiry into
the management of the New York savings
institution which recently failed, the testi-
moDy Of Fisk & Hatch, already taken, was
read In the latter part of 1882 Fisk &
Hatch wrote Dodd, president of the Newark
Savings institution, and asked him to lend
them $3.50, 900 of seven per cents, which he
did, the firm agreeing to have in their office
$3.50. 600 other bonds as security for their
return. During the year the deposit account
OF the savings institution was over $1,000
COO Fisk said on his return from Europe
in May last, he discovered the affairs of Fisk
& Hatch were in bad state. On the 18th
of May he got tore.ier what securities be
could from the Newark Savings institution
and found they had 81, 800. 900 to cover the
bonds. Then he found about $20,0 more
of odds and ends. These were all put in
boxes and marked ''the property Of Newark
Savings institution" He sent for Dodd
next day and told him about the situation.
Dodd took the securities out to Newark and
gave the witness a receipt Fisk said the
firm had a right to use the bonds as they did.

TIE HoUSE OF LoRnS

The question of the greatest importance
which is occupying the attention of the peo-
pie of England is not the Egyptian settle
ment, or the advance of Russia towards
India, but the attitude of the House of Lords
towards the Franchise bill. As is known,
the Lords refused to pass the bill as it came
from the Commons, and the result is great
popular excitement in which there is very
perceptible menace of the existence of this
branch of parliament Between this time
aud October, when parliament shall reas-
semble, there win be discussion of the ac-
ton of the House of Lords, whose scope win
be not merely the action of the Lords in re-
gard to the franchise bill, but the continued
existence of that house as part OF the legis-
lstive body. Il has long been growing
opinion in England, among all classes out
side of the peerage. that the House OF Lords
is of no value in assisting in the creation or
furtheranee of legislation; and that. as q
matter of fact, it has grown to be Obstructive
and should be abolished
In one respect, the House of Lords has al
ways been consistent in its action, that is, it
has alwavS hean in onnositian rhan ths-e he's

Madison, Dakota.
Special Corresponding lof the Globe. |

Especial Correspondence of the Globe
MADISON, July 22.-One of the worst cy-
clones, wind and hail storms ever known in
this section, passed over this (La1e) county
yesterday. About 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
threatening cloud from the west and north
west appeared, presenting dark greenish
color. A large number of our people. took
refuge in the cellars The damage in Wown
was very light compared with other portions
of the county. Winfred our neighboring
town, twelve miles west was the first to suf-
fer to any great extent. The track Of the
storm went southeast from there down the
Vermillon valley demolshpg buildings,
and in many cases causing utter destruction
to the growing crops. j. B. Jones and son
Charles well-to-do farmer in the Vermillion
valley, were badly hurt They were in their
barn, fine building just completed last sea-
son, which was destroyed in the storm. Mr..
Bowell a large farmer seven miles southeast
of Madison, says that he had over 100 acres
of small grain he valued at 81 900, which is
utterly worthless now Doctor Clough has
just returned from Prospect, fifteen miles
southeast, and states that the school building
there was blown over with the teacher and
twenty small children. Fortunately none
were injured except Mrs Powels, the teacher,
who had one rib broken. Much credit is due
to Mrs. Powels for the presence of mind
courage and heroism shown by her on this
trying occasion.
After the school house was demolished and
her twenty pupils scattered over the prairie
by the wind and storm, and she with
rib broken and otherwise injured, collected
her frantic pupils together in the midst of
the storm and hail and with them crawled
nearly half mile through grain field in
search of some place of refuge from the
bowling storm.
Sheriff Lee received a telegram stating that
his mother had been killed in the storm at
Dell Rapids. News has also been received
that another person had been killed and
eighteen buildings demolished at the above
named place. AS far as can be heard no
lives were lost in this county, but the de-
struction Of the growing crops and property
is very great. Merchants and business men
from this city are out this morning visiting
the cyclone districts.
