The Philadelphia Times, in speaking
of the competition now existing be-
tween the Western Union and the Bal
timore g. Ohio telegraph companies,
says that the Western Union people are
awake to the fact that something must
be done if they would preserve their
supremacy in the Geographic world and
continue to earn dividends. With this
end in view they have for some time
past had under consideration several
plans by which they hope to crush their
sturdy young antagonist and at the
same time wipe out the lesser opposi-
ton concerns. They have finally de-
cded upon vigorous warfare which
they think will speedily bring matters
to settlement. a prominent officer
of the Western Union is authority for
the statement that the plan adopted will
first be developed by the announcement
at IN early date of a five and ten-ccnt
schedule between all points reached by
the Baltimore d Ohio Company's wires.
The five-cent territory will be that lying
between Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington, including all the
New England States, and the ten-cent
rate will extend from the Atlantic coast to
Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati and other
principal Western cities. This action,
the gentleman referred to says, has been
decided upon and he predicts that it
will precipitate the tiercest telegraph
war which has ever been witnessed on
this continent. With Jay Gould's mill
ions on the one side and the wealth of a
great railroad corporation on the other,
the struggle will appear as the merest
skrmish. In the meantime a new en-
terprise is being quietly put under way,
backed by ample capital and possessing
features which may revolutionize GER
tain branches of telegraphy.

A Lady Burned to Death.

Mrs. Luella Englow, who resided
with her husband about six miles from
Phillippi, in Barbour county. w. Va,
came to her death under very singular
circumstances Tuesday of last week.
Her husband stepped out of the house
but short distance to gather apples.
He was gone but few minutes until
he returned and found bis wife sitting
in chair wrapped in large wooden
blanket. The fire was burning over the
floor and had almost reached the cradle
In which was sleeping their babe. At
ter moments attention to the fire he
turned to his wife. 1t was then discov-
cred that she was unconscious. Upon
removing the blanket the horrible fact
that she was burned to death became
apparent. The theory is that her cloth
ing caught fire in some way, and that
she used the blanket to smother the
flames, and from her clothing the fire
was communicated to the carpet on the
floor

Don't Brighten the Children

A man named w. l.. Clemens, of
North Carolina, went with his wife and
children few weeks ago to Charleston,
S. c., to live. Last Sunday night he
had sad experience which should be
remembered by all parents as a warning.
The story is told by the Greenville
News, which says: "Clemens and his
wife wished to 20 to church. A little son
years old, who had always slept with
his parents, was put to bed with an
older brother in anticipation OF their
leaving the family room dark. He OBJ
jected and cried necessarily. The father
threatened to lock him up in dark
room if he did not hush, knowing that
the child was morbidly afraid of dark
ness when alone. The little fellow
cried louder than before, and the threat
was put into execution. On being lock-
ed in the dark room the child gave three
piercing screams and tainted. On COM
ing to it was discovered that the once
bright and promising boy had become
an imhecile -

John Mccullough, the actor. died at
his residence in Philadelphia last Sum
day noon. Mr.. McCullough's death,
although not entirely unexpected, oc-
Cured quite suddenly, and was due. as
Dr. Hugo Engel, his physician, says,
to "an affection of the brain caused by
blood poisoning" DR.. Engel asserts
that Mr.. Mccullough was not insane,
and that i. was mistake to have placed
him i'm the Bloomingdale Insane Asy-
lum, where he was confined for num-
Der of weeks. His falling mental pow
ers were first noticed in the early part
of January, 1894, and April of that year
he made lamentable failure of "Othel-
10" in Washington. After that, his all
ment manifested itself at various times
in the loss of memory, the prompter al
times being obliged to follow him about
the stage. In the summer of 1884 he
spent some time at Carlsbad, Germany,
and returning TO this country in Au-
gust, he played five nights engage
ment i'm Milwaukee. Thence he went
to Chicago, where he appeared on the
stage for the last time in his life on the
night of September 10Th. 1854, in the
character OF Spartacus in the "Gladia-
tor" His condition that night was so
bad that the curtain was rung down at
the end of the second act. From that
time he has gradually grown worse, oc-
casionally mcnding slightly, but at all
times his condition WI as considered hope
less by his friends. He was brought to
Philadelphia Sunday night, October %,
and taken to the residence of his family,
where he died. At that time he recog-
nized no one, not even his wife or his
two sons, and had no control of his mus
cles. He regained the use of his limbs
slowly, and in few days was able to
raise himself 10 a sitting posture. He
continued in about this same condition
until Sunday, when he died without Il
struggle. Mr.. Mccullough left an es-
tate valued at about $4,000.

The Iowa Congressman will bring to

scheme to get the Government to build
the Hennepin Canal. This year the ca
nal jobbers say that it can be built for
sc, 600, 900, or 81, 600, 900 less than they
said it would cost last year. Congress
should not be in hurry to dig this ca
nal. If the estimates are reduced in the
same proportion for about three years
more the canal can be dug for nothing.

this case is money in the Governments

THERE are great many Republicans
in this country who seem to think that
they are entitled to all the offices, and
that the Democrats should be satisfied
with the honor and labor of electing a
President to keep Republicans in fat
places. This reminds us of the Irishman
and his wife who had the chills and fe-
yer. A physician was called in and pre-
scribed whisky and quinine. These ar
ticles were obtained, and the old man
took the whisky and gave his wife the
quinine. The Republicans are willing
to take the whisky and think the Demo-
Gratis should be satisfied with the quiz

Mr.. CLEvELAND's spinal column did
not need any stiffening, but the recent
elections in New York and Virginia
have impaired some additional rightly
to it. However disagreeable the truth
may be to Jacksonian Democrats, it is
fact that the civil service reform ideas
of the President and his determination
to elevate the administration to some
thing higher than mere house of mer-
chandise for office-seekers, are winning
their way to the respect and admiration
of the people. His policy is based on
solid foundation, and the little breezes
raised by dissatisfied office-seekers will
not prevail against it.
