The following peculiar dooumt mt, which

slipped under Register Frazer's office

Little Delaware, which has been
chiefly proud Of her peaches, wheat and
ship-building, has added an entirely new
industry to the list in the shape OF q
glass manufacturing establishment al

Monday morning. Another concern Of
the same nature is ready for operation at
Dover. Whether peach brandy will

be congratulated on these additions to
her productive power, anyway.

The disease is contagious and it's

over the country, when it comes, in
wave. This time it seems to have
come from the west, Walla Walla
horses having been affected with it a
week or two before its presence here
was observable. The symptoms are a
cough, resulting from lung inflamma-
tion, and with animals that are not in
the best condition it's proving fatal

entirely a cool weather disease, when
the animals are particularly liable to
coughs and colds. AT present it ex-

The Rink was we'll filled on Satur
day evening by an audience assembled
to hear the addresses of local demo
cratic speakers. The number in at
tendance seemed somewhat greater
than has ever gathered at a political
meeting in Livingston and comprised
large number of ladies. F. L. MN.
tie, member OF the county democratic
committee, called the meeting to order
and himself delivered an address of
considerable length on local affairs and
national issues and candidates. J. III.
Elder followed with very able speech.
The matter of the address was excel
lent-full of truth, thought. logic and
good language. We have heard some,
who are probably more jealous than
critical, object (for want of some other
faw) to the style as too much after the
declamatory order. That is fault of
all young orators and one that is over1
come by practice. Judge j. A. Savage
followed with recommendation of
the local democratic ticket and then a
speech that scored point after point
against the republicans and their ad-
ministration-the kind of talk that
was appreciated and understood by the
majority of those present as was fire.
quently testified by their applause.
Mr.. D. J. Kennedy concluded the
speech making of the evening. He
referred to the absurd claims OF late
speakers in Livingston that
free trade had brought Ireland to
her present plight and showed
how the cause was the removal of
all the money from the county by non-
resident landlords. He also cited his
own observation as well as statistics
to prove the comfortable. contented
condition of English working classes
who had been pictured by onr repub-
lican friends to be in such miserable
sQuallor. Altogether the meeting was
a great success, and democrats of
Livingston may we'll feel proud that
from among their own ranks they can,
without special effort, produce such
demonstration.

Ohio Election Figures.

From the Associated Press: Un-
expectedly the prohibition and green
back votes in Ohio increased proper
tjonately with those of the democrats
and republicans. The prohibition
vote last year was 1892; this year it
is 9,5l0. The greenback vote last year
was 1887; this year it is 3,700; thus
showing that there was no coalition,
but that party lines were closely fol.
lowed. The total greenback and pro-
hibition vote is 12.447, or 1926 more
than Robertscn's plurality. The rest
Of the republican state ticket has an
average majority over all Of more
than 5000 in total vote of 78O,373.
Last year it was 7l6,l86. In October,
1880, it was 724,967. There is no
change IN the congressman except an
increase of 158 in Romei's majority
over Hurd.

twenty-four hours late. The delay
was caused by the wreck of bridge
and freight train very short distance
this side of Medora AS our reporter
was able to understand it the train ran
upon a rail on the bridge which had
been taken up by the section men and
not spiked down, nor was the train
tagged. AS consequence the loco
motive went upon the wood work OF
the bridge which broke and let the
engine and five cars of stock fall into
a miserable wreck. Of the cattle In
the five cars the number killed is
placed variously at from 40 to IS.
Those that escaped rushed away into
the bad lands. The engineer and fire.
man escaped without injury. The
bridge was repaired to allow the pas
senger trains to cross with the delay
noted.
A later report says the cattle be-
longed TO the Stoddard & Howard com
pany, that 81 were killed and Al es-
capped into the bad lands. The North

PARK NOTES.

The people of Gardiner sent in a
petition to the secretary of the inter-
ior last winter asking the privilege Of
cutting dead wood within the Nation
al Park for fuel or other purposts.
The reason given by the petitioners
were that the dead wood in the Park
prevented the growth of grass, OBJ
structed the escape of game and serv-
ed no human purpose where it lies.
The secretary very kindly granted the
privilege.
Superintendent r. E. Carpenter is
taking advantage of the good weather
by getting in winter supplies of for
age and provisions. The superintend-
ent is rapidly becoming acquainted
with those who reside in and near the
Park. His frank, affable and agreea-
bic manners are winning him many
friends. Even the exercise of por-
tions of his duty that may be rather
unpleasant. is done in such an agreea-
ble manner as to avoid giving offence.
He is firm without being arbitrary
and definite without being aggressive.
This good weather is most favorable
for operations in the Park. G. F. Ho-
bart Is actively engaged getting out
material for new hotel in the Upper
Geyser Basin. G. T. Hobart is bound
to furnish good accommodation for the
