In Victory and Defeat.

There never has been, and it is per-
fectly safe to now assumed that there
never will be again, so intolerant a
party sss that which took the name Re-
publican. lis members assumed all
the virtue, all the morality, all the
knowledge and all the capacity at the
time e,Stant. They took it for granted
that they were actually saints and their
opponents in reality sinners. After
swelteling in prosperity for a quarter
of century they reluctantly turned
the offices over to their opponents
under protest, regarding the edict of
the people as akin to smallpox epi-
demic.
And even then they showed their
contempt for the great party which had
elected its candidate for President, by
continuing to oppose it in the smallest
and most contemplate ways. The
statements in the report of the Post
master-General are nothing newNsto
those who note the difference between
Republicans victorious and Republic
ans vaaquished. In at least fourteen
States the Postmaster-General has Off
cial cognizance of the fact that the
united influence of the Republican
party is being used against the Demo-
cratic postmasters appointed in place
of Republican postmasters. In all
these localities the influence of party has
been exercised to diminish the emolu-
ments Of recent Democratic appointees
to these offices.
There is no room in a newspaper to
express an opinion in full upon the
men OF set of men who do these things.

Inhuman Treatment to Which Farm Out

Inhuman Treatment to Which Farm Out
Paupers We're Subjected.
RUSSELL. MASS, December 13-For many
months there have been rumors afloat of
cruel treatment of the town paupers by
KeeperChapman,w who has for three years bid
off the towns poor at an average of about
seventy five dollars year for each pauper
The Selectmen have persistently denied the
rumors. Two officers-of the State Board
of Health, Lunacy and Charity
have just completed an inves-
tigation. Some of the details of their re-
port are too revolving for publication. The
inspectors found filth Astounding and
stenches too loathsome for human endu-
rance. Not a few of the inmates had for
beds nothing but pillar Of husks upon the
floor, and for covering only old clothing.
Upon such bed an aged. man named
Thompson died without attention. The
meal, mixed with water. Starvation,
rather than disease or old age, hastened
his death 1t is alleged that in his last
moments he called for water to cool his
Parched lips, but though his cries were
Not long ago another inmate, once a prop
erty-owner of the town, died similarly of a
terrible disease. One man, q school teacher
and public lecturer, after enduring assaults
and hunger, finally ran away. The general
par with that given in the above described
cases. The Selectmen are charged with try
ing to kill off the paupers to get rid Of
them

WRECKS BY THE WAY.

How the Policy of Hate and Sectionalism
Has Worked upon Several Presidential
Aspirants.
In the general collapse of Republican
hopes OF election day the bursting of
sundry Presidential booms, which had
been up to that time most tenderly
nurtured and solicitously watched
over, escaped general notice. The
wrecks of those booms have been dis
covered among the ruins, presenting a
sorry sight and inculcating lesson on
the danger Of counting ones chickens
before they are hatched. There is the
Sherman boom, so long wrapped up in
a corner Of the bloody shirt, and the
Logan article of the same kind, which
occupied whole sleeve of the ensan-
guined garment. They are but men,
ories now and will, probably, be lost
to memory when the next Republican
National Convention comes around.
Sherman made the serious mistake of
supposing that what was good enough
for Ohio should suit the rest of the
country. When he dangled the badge
of sectional hate before the Buckeyes
and they made no sign, he was encour-
aged to try the same performance in
New York and Virginia. He did SO,
and the result was highly disastrous to
him. His boom is like Mark Twain's
good little boy, who went fooling
around a nitroglycerine can. There is
not enough of it left for coroner to
sit on.
Logan, flushed with his accidental
success in Illinois, quilted the bound
less prairies, donned the bloody gar
ment and made raid on the stump in
this State. He is now searching for
the scattered fragments of his boom.

Morrison turned from the clerks desk
Perry began to use some abusive language
toward Morrison and the woman. Nor

said: II have notion to kill you
and her and myself, and end this
trouble" and as he spoke drew large
army pistol and shot Morrison, the ball en-.
tering below the left eye. Death was in
stantaneous. Perry then turned and fired
at the woman, who was retreating through
the back door of the restaurant. His aim
was good, but some one saw the revolver
ieveled in that direction and pulled the
woman aside. The ball shattered her right
arm. Perry then placed the pistol to. his
own head and blew out his brains

O EATON. OHIO. THURSDAY DECEMBER
A SEWER CAVES IN.
-Four Men Killed and Three Others Nor
tally Wounded.

AKRON, O., December 9.-Late this after
noon a sewer which was being constructed
caved in, burying seven laborers, four of
whom were crushed to death, and three
others injured so badly that they will
probably die. The cave occurred without
moments warning. The ground, which
had been frozen for two or three days, was
softened by thaw to-day. Three of the
men were standing on a scaffolding and the
four others at the bottom of the sewer,
of twenty-five feet. Suddenly the
timbers began cracking and the water
soaked earth for distance of twenty feet
on each side of the sewer rolled down upon
the unfortunate workmen. VIM. McGill,
one of the men ON the scaffold, escaped,
but an the others were caught by the mass
OF timbers and earth A great crowd Of
people soon assembled. The groans of
the men who were but partially
buried were heartrending They called
for assistance, but for some time no
one would venture near the hole. Finally
a large force of men was set to work with
shovels, and in half an hour two of the vic
Tins were taken out. They were yet alive,
but in terrible agony. Another hour of dig
ging brought them to a third man. whose
groans had guided the rescuing party. Near
him was found the body of a fourth man,
dead. 1tbeing apparent at that time that the
others We're dead the search was abandoned
for the night. The list of the killed and
wounded is as follows: Max Rosensweg,
age %, single, dead; Henry Frigert, dead;
unknown Italian, dead; unknown Italian
dead; John Wyckoff, age 3S, married, chest
and abdomen crushed and leg broken; will
die. Henry Walter, age 35, married, legs
crushed and scalp wound; may recover
Augustus Krebst, age %, believed to be
fatally injured.

Another Battle in Which the Servi-

A Terrible Fire at Plymouth, England,-A
Number OF Lives Lost.

BELGRADE, December 13.-A telegram
from the front states that long and
bloody engagement took place yesterday
between the Servians and Bulgarians The
town of Veliki-Izoor was wrested from the
the Pirot Division of the Bulgarian army,
who attacked the Servians Upon finding
themselves outnumbered the Bulgarians
made signs that they wished to surrender.
The Servians, who were mostly elderly
men belonging to the second reserve,
shouted in reply: "You have
already deluded our children
(meaning the youths of the first reserve) in
that fashion, but you can not deceive u.s."
Thereupon they charged the Bulgarians
with the bayonet scattering them in every
and wounded on the field. fhe Servians-
claim brilliant victory. Much enthusiasm
ismanifested in Belgrade over the success

sights were witnessed by the large crowd
assembled in the streets, but powerless
to help. One lodger, young man named
Bickford, clung to q window sill for
several minutes with his little sister under
his arm. If he had been alone he could
have dropped to the street in comparative
safety, but the child had swooned and was
a dead weight. At last he had to let go his
hold, but he managed to fall in such a

The firemen worked heroically. Several Of
them were detailed to enter the burning
building, which was then a veritable fur
mace of fire, and rescue the survivors.
These ife-savers plunged into the seething
flames, followed by the pipemen, who kept
playing the hose upon them and upon each
other. In this way several lives were
saved. After the fire was extinguished
twelve bodies were found burned to crisp.
Two dodgers are still missing.

RIoToUs MINERS.
Ten Men Injured in the Melee, One of
Whom will Die.


Whom will Die.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, December 10-Pine
Run was the scene of another riot this
morning between the striking coal miners
and the men who have been working for
the past two weeks at the reduced wages.
This morning, about half-past 8 o'clock,
when about twenty-five miners we're on
their way to work in Lynn's mines, a
squad of two hundred masked men met
them and demanded that they return to
their homes. This they refused to do,
and the mob then made an attack
upon them with clubs, sticks and stones.
The riot lasted two hours, and about ten
men were injured. One of them, New
ton Campbell, a driver, was set upon by
six strikers and beaten to insensibility.
His injuries are fatal Richard Hall and
Samuel Myford were also seriously injured
The others got away with slight cuts and
bruises. After standing their ground
lists were driven off and fled to places of
safety. The strikers then stayed In the vi
cinity. of the mines until daybreak, waiting
on more miners to come to work, but none
made their appearance. The mob then
wedged the switch of the private coal road
running to the mine and disappeared over
the hills. A train coming along a short
time later was thrown from the track
and the engine upturned, but no one was
morrow morning. The strikers camped in
the woods some distance from the mines
but will not allow any one to approach
them. The people living in the vicinity
are greatly alarmed and fear q general
raid along the river.

LONDON, December 10-The Servians to-
day attacked the Bulgarian outpost at st.
Nicholas, Izoor and Krivofer, and were re-
pulsed at all points. The extension Of for
ty-eight hours which Prince Alexander
gave to King Milan in which to reply to
the formers cOunter-proposal of peace ex-
pired at noon to-day. The Servian King
sent no reply to the Bulgarian terms, but
definitely broke the :. uce by renewing hos
tilities, as stated above. The Servian army
is now echeloned between Nissa and the IT,
mok River facing the Bulgarian army, which
occupies a strongly intrenched position,
stretching from Pirot to point about ten
miles to the northwest, with its left resting
on Pirot The conditions are favorable
for q general engagement, and it is not i'm
probable that fighting on a large scale will
begin at daybreak tomorrow morning.
Prince Alexande r commands his troops in
person, but King Milan has turned over
the chief command of his army to Colonel
Harvetovitch. The Bulgarian Prince says
he will have no more parleying with the
enemy until he has captured Nisch, when
he will dictate terms of peace in that me-
tropolis of Southern Servia.

gave exhibitions on the streets, while the
women and children solicited aims The
