Burned. and His Hspss Rsined.
A Philadelphia special says: Az
explosion Of illuminating gas occurred
in the cellar Of the house on the south
east corner Of Lombard and Twenty
fifth streets at noon on Friday, COM
pletely wrecking the house, de-
stroying its contents, and fatally
burning John Geddes, the ten
ant, well-known Republican poll
tician, and badly burning his wife
and adopted daughter. Mr.. Geddes had
Just returned from the oil-works, at
which he is employed as refiner, aud
was waiting for his dinner when his
wife, who, with their adopted daughter,
was standing near the cellar-door in
the yard, asked him to get bottle OF
catsup from the cellar. He started
down the cellar steps, and as he neared
the bottom struck a match.
A terrible explosion followed, the
report Of which was heard for several
squares. Mrs. Geddes was blown up
into the yard, with his clothes in flames.
His wife was blown into the alley
through the gateway. Mr.. Geddes fell
on her face and knees, badly burned
about the head, most Of her hair hav-
ing been singed of. She almost in
stantly recovered her selfpossession,
and, seeing her husband lying nearly
at her feet, unconscious and wrapped
in flames, threw a piece Of carpet over
him, extinguishipg the flames, but be-
ing badly burned about the hands and
arms in doing so. Her daughter, who
had fortunately gone to one side mo-
ment before the explosion, escaped
with few slight burns and the loss OF
her eyebrows and front hair. AL the
clothing had been burned off the upper
part of Mr.. Goddess body, and his
trousers hung in shreds. His death,
which is certain, is expected to occur at
any moment. The flesh in many places
has been burned or torn away. The
force Of the explosion split the soles Of
both his feet and laid them open to the
bone. He said tonight that he expe-
rienced but little pain from his terrible
wound, but complained that his arms
were beginning to feel heavy. He dozed
for few minutes, and later received a
visit from his wife. He was also visit
ed by Charles G. Cochran, for whom
Mr.. Geddes was delegate in the con-
vention on Wednesday last to nominate
a Republican candidate for city trea-
surer. The physician in charge said
that the shock and excitement were
keeping him up, but that he would die
within forty-eight hours.
The parlor and hall floors of the
house are completely torn out, and
every door in the house is torn from its
hinges. The front wall is bulged out,
and cracks extend its entire height and
width. All the furniture in the parlor
was blown to pieces and the carpets
torn into shreds.

The Silver Dollar.

"The American Dollar, and the
Anglo German Combination to Make
Gold Dearer," is the title of a pam
phlet by Mr.. II. W. Trebor, just issued
from the press in Richmond. In it's
preface the following very sensible
views about gold and silver values APP
pear:
THAT hard times are upon our coun-
try and upon all countries is fact OF
universal recognition. 1t may be due
to a great many causes, but the cauSa
cauSans-the cause behind and gen.
Grating all others-is the modern en-
deavor to destroy the monetary value
of half the specie in the world. Ma
lures money-gold and silver-is the
basis Of all currrencies, all credit, all
trade and commerce. In proportion as
this money abounds sprosperity felt in
the occupations and enterprises of men.
Restriction of its quantity, contrac-
ton of its volume. is death to pros
perity. To destroy half Of it in
order that obligations payable in the
other half may be increased in value is
the boldest speculation ever attempted
by the stock exchanges against pro-
perry and labor, by the city against the
country, by mammon against the mil
lion. Many Of the best intellects OF
modern times are in protest against this
sin against Providence. Some Of the
noblest characters of Christendom have
raised their voices in reprobation OF
this crime against nature and the COM
mon veal. The writer has studied to
make this pamphlet a vehicle Of their
utteTances."
tits the Wall-street bankers, brokers,
and stockholders who are fighting to
depreciate silver and advance gold, so
that they may realize rich profits in the
speculation at the expense Of the COM

warfare upon the peoples money-sil-

A state Celored Industrial Associa-
ton.

A state GolOred Iuuustrfai Ass0cfa-
ton.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Democratic rule means peace and
prosperity, as witness the condition OF
the South now as compared with the
horrors of Republican domination.
Every year Of this beneicent rule shows
more and more Of thrift and progress !;
but, better still, more and more of good
feeling between the two races. But for
demagogues, who drive out peoples
reason by infaming their passions, there
would be little cause of complaint of
the negroes anywhere in the South. 1t
is source Of thankfulness that the
career of this sort of pestilent dema-
gogue is nearing its end. The two
races are here to stay, and, under
Democratic rule, the stronger is doing
all in its power to foster the weaker
and to bring it up to the true level Of
citizenship. While the condition of the
colored people in all the States of the
South has been notably improved
of late years, North Carolina ap-
pears to have made the greatest
advance in this direction. Some
seven years ago, and largely through
the good offices of Governor Vance, the
North Carolina Colored Industrial AS
ISOLATION was put into operation. 1t
has held six most creditable fairs at
Raleigh, and will make another exhibit
this fall. The writer has just received
a letter from a bank president in Ra-
leigh IA Democrat Of the intensest
SCHOOL,, and cannot forbear giving your
readers what he has to say about this
Association. Here it is Il" The North
Carolina Colored Industrial Associa-
ton has grounds Of its own at Raleigh,
donated by the State. on which it holds
a fair every year. There is no doubt
but what the organization OF this As
ISOLATION, and the success Of its fairs,
have had very fine effect upon the bet
Ter citizenship Of the race in North
Carolina. All of the better class Of
the white people attend these exhibit
tons, and, in addition to their own ora
tors, they have always had addresses
from Governor Vance, Governor Jarvis,
and other leading men of the State. Our
Governor always attends the opening
of the fair, and lends his countenance
to all their efforts for advancement,
and the display made by them has
from the first been of very creditable
character. The personnel of the man.
agement and attendance has really been
a matter of surprise to their white
brethren. The president of the Asso-
citation is Mr.. John S. Leary, Of Fay
etteville, who is lawyer, a man Of
intelligence, and very conservative"
Now, why can't we in Virginia have
an association OF the same kind? 1t is
hoped that the matter will be fully dis
cussed by our representative men, who
form the State Agricultural Society. at
the approaching State Fair, and the ball
be set in motion.

THE COINAGE or SILVER.
E1.Secretary windom Advocates Double
Standard.

IA->tCTttuES W iudOH iuNOtdtes n
Standard.
CHICAGO, September lS.-Ex-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Window, who
was in town to-day, was asked what he
thought of the proposed compromise on
the silver coinage question.
:" | do not think it will suit the silver
men," Mr.. Window said, although
there are some things to be said IN its
favor. But it will be asked, Why not
issue certificates on iron, or copper, or
anything else where the fluctuations are
not very great: The compromise, if
adopted, will, Of course, do away with
the double standard, silver becoming
simply merchandise. In my opinion
double standard in which silver floats
at its value is the best for this
country, but | also believe that
the present forcing of silver coinage to
cord it up in the Treasury, while not
of immediate danger, is unsafe. Two
moneys of unequal values cannot cir
culate side by side for an extended Pc
Rod. The time will come when the
poorer viii drive out the better. If a
man has ragged one-dollar bill and
bright, new one-dollar bill, he will
always keep the new one. 1t is on
this principle that the gold will
be boarded and disappear from
sight the instant a panic begins.
The result will be, if, as do
not believe they will be, the present
conditions are allowed to run on that
there would be a frightful contraction
of the currency, and, if the alarm be-
came still more severe, to force the
Government to suspend the payment of
the legal tenders in gold. can see the
possible dangers, but not being in a
position where it was necessary, have
not thought out as carefully as other
wise would the means of avoiding
them"
"Can you give in general way your
opinion"
II would like to see gold and silver
the standard, but with enough metal in
the latter to float it Of its own accord.
This Of course would be the gold stand
ard on the start, but flactuation in the
values Of the metals would require an
other adjustment"
