one OF the most remarkable cases
IN record is reported by reliable
physician, DR.. Peete, of Humboldt,
Tenn. About eight months ago, a
hegro man living thee bad a person
encounter with a sable bother,
Pnd was badly wounded in the face
pya thrust from an umbrella. The
Nound was sewed op by physician,
md in the course of a few weeks en-
lreIy heated over. The negro made
good crop this year, workings all the
lmo. Several days ago he began to
Euller considerable pain from the old
wound and experienced greaE diff
putty in opening his mouth. Finally
he sent for DR.. Peete at Humboldt, to
reat him. Upon examination, the
'octor decided that the blow from
he umbrella had probably fractured
| bone of the face, which created the
trouble. He made an incisiOn just
below the cheek bone, and extracted
P'o piece of bone, but the end of the
umbrella handle, about five inches
''' length. The handle had penetrat-
e' the face and broken off. The bro
piece was about seven inches long
anu three-fourths of an inch in di-
""eter. The case is certainly re-

THE ANARCHIST SIBYL.

Mrs. Anarchist Parsons lis spending the
time with friends in New York" say the
dispatches. In conversation with q re-
porter she said:
This is the evolutionary stage Of An
archism. The revolutionary period viii!
be reached when the great middle classes
are practically extinct. The great mo-
n~Opolies and corporations and Syndicates
met with on every hand are now rapidly
extinguishing the middle classes, which
we regard rs the one great bulwark be-
tween the monopoly or wealthy class and
the great producing or working class.
There will come = time when there will be
in this world only two claSSeS-the pos
seSsing class and the non-pOSseSSing but
producing class, the middle class having
been forced into the wage-claSs, owing to
the enormous capital now needed to re-
main in the field OF production. These
two classes will therefore find themselves
arrayed against each other; a struggle,
the revolutionary stage, will come and the
order Of things in the world will be chang
ed by the people themselves
There is some truth in this, no matter
who said it. This is the evolutionary
stage of Anarchism, " but if the proper so
eial conditions in our civilization are
maintained the Acknowledgements evolv-
ell by this process of evolution may be-
Monster Of such hideous mien
That to be deSpiScd needs but to be seen"
But if once the great middle class, the
bnlwark of the country, disappears and
the people are either very rich or very
poor, the words of this AuarchiStic
prophecies have a meaning. But as long as
the large majority of the people have
homes and property OF their own nothing
is to be feared. The duty of our statesmen
is to keep it as easy as possible for men to
build homes. This Oft quoted senti-
ment from Goldsmith will be true for all
time:
III fares the land to Fastening ills a prey.
Where wealth accumulatesa and men decay:
Princes may flourish OF may fade,
A breath can make them as 4 breath has made.
But abOld pesssntry, their cOuntry's pride
When once destroyed, can never be supplied

clock in the cathedral at London. Every
hour two horsemen came out Of the eloci
to encounter each other, a door few oper
disclosing the Virgin Mary on a throne
with Christ in her arms, people are gath
cred round presenting gifts, and two
trumpeters are sounding their horns. This
clock also showed the month, day Of the
month, and all festivals and holidays OF
the year.
In the village of Pettenween, in Scot
land, about fifty years ago, there vas made
and exhibited by Mr.. Smith, a clock and
matchmaker of that place, an autOmatieal
clock which, from the description given OF
it ut that time appears to have equalled
anything of that kind ever produced. 1t
comprehended a very striking illustration
of the musical and religious character OF
the people Of Scotland. The case, which
was Of finest mahogony, was seven feet
high, huted columns upon each side. The
upper part of the clock vas ornamented
with carving, fret work and gliding, with
a golded bird having its wings extended
standing in the center. The case contained
a large eight-day musical clock, with three
dial plates and a chime of sixteen bells.
The whole clock was divided into five
different parts, each of which had its own
particular weight. The first was the go
ing part: the second kept a small musical
band in motion. The band played a favor
tie tune over once before striking the hour.
The third part struck the hour; the fourth
moved a large musical band, containing
eight celebrated Scotch tunes, one of which
PLAYED every three hours with great exact
ness. The front dial plate, or face,
which was about eighteen inches in diane
ter, had an arch which showed the hours,
minutes and seconds, with the name and
date of the month, without variation dur
ing the entire year, even on the 18th OF
February. The clock turned out all the
odd days in one night and brought out the
1st of March on the follC wing morning. In
the plate there were also two small hands,
one of which discovered the day OF the
week. When Sunday ( me there appear
ed the words: Remember Sunday" and
ut II o'clock the mus stopped playing
anti II o'clock on Sunday night. The
music then began again, aud continued I'M
til the next Saturday night. On the right
hand was another dial plate eight inches
wide, with an arch. 1t contained a hand
that pointed to the mama of the tune the
clock played. The dial plate on the left
was of the same size a. the one on the
right. 1t represented the front Of house
with a door in the middle. At each side
of the house stood a sentinel, with his
arms, in the livery of the city guard of
Edinburg, painted on brass. In the side
o fthe center Ofthe door was seen the macer
or clerk of the lords of the council, dressed
i'll his robes, with his mace in his right
hand. As soon rs the clock began to play
he took off his hat with his right hand and
walked past the door, followed by fifteen
lords in procession. The figures were
painted on thin brass, and very. much
reSembled life. All this was but n part of
this wonderful eight-day clock.

ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR WHEEL
INC

ANO Their RAILROAD FOR WHEEL
ING.
THE presence of representatives of Eng
lish and American capitalists in our city
to take a look at its industries and calcu-
late the advantages to be gained by eN-
tending the Mt. Vernon, COshOctOn &
Wheeling railroad to Wheeling, may be q
matter of much moment to people.
They have already been looking over the
ground between here and Mt. Vernon, o.,
the present terminus of the road. 1t
seems TO us that no more suspicious time
could be chosen for building this road. 1t
would certainly be a profitable road to
the company. 1t would get 4 large share
of the carrying trade of Wheeling and the
Ohio Valley. This trade is
large now and with Wheeling and the
neighbOring towns building up
under the benign impulse given by nat
ural gas and cheap transportation OfcOurse
the road will share the prosperity. So tar
rs Wheeling is concerned, the road would
help along the boom wonderfully. Moth
ing would do the Wheeling people more
good than to pay over to the company the
$3.50, 900 voted two years ago to be paid
when the first train enters the city. VIZ
trust that u visitors may be so t~ayOrably
impressed with the advantages of our city
that the capitalists will make great haste in
pushing the road to completion.

DIsCHARGING THE LAST DEBT TO
GOFF.

THE contribution in this mornings is
sue from a former ,GOFF Democrat is
good reading for the Democrats Of this
District. II WAS the Democratic admirers
of Gen. GOFF that elected him the last
time. Their personal friendship for the
man or the thought that they were under
some obligations to him for some real OF
imaginary favor induced Democrats to
support the General that they might pay
a debt of gratitude As the Harrison
Democrat who writes this communication
says, whatever debt of gratitude was owed
for all real and imaginary fayOrs has al
ready been fully paid, and the debt owed
t o the Democratic party, its principles and
its administration is to be paid this cleo
ton. For a Democrat to vote for GOFF
this election is Just Is ineNcuSable As yO-
ting for BLAINE and LOGAN and al the
Republican host of candidates.
But We cannot see that the Democrats Of
this District have owed Gen. GOFF any
thing else than to vote for him and stay at
home. They must have been looking
through reversed glasses. The only re-
naming debt should be paid on November
2, before the General has aehance to shave
the notes.

some newspaper correspondents are
trying to make it appear that the reason
Mrs. CLEVELAND was not present at the
Richmond fair was that JEFF DAVIS
daughter was to assist in the reception.
Such reports do great injustice to Mrs.
CLEVELAND. She is a too sensible and
noble woman to be carried away by any
such whim. 1t is not likely that any such
idea ever entered her head. The receP-
ton at Richmond was intended to be 4
time of good cheer and no bitter recollec-
tions of the past were to be called up by
any one to maj the pleasures of any one.

COMPARISON OF DEMOCRATIC
AND REPUBLICAN TARIFFS.

COMPARISON OF DEMOCRATIC
AND REPUBLICAN, TARIFFS.
Ex-senator DAVIS made the following
striking comparison Of the Republican and
Democratic tariffs showing how much
more favorable to West yirgiuia's great
products, iron, coal, and wool wa the
DmOentic tariff:
West Virginia is most interested in coal,
iron. lumber and wool. Let US see how the
Democratic tariff of 1916, and Republican
tariff of 1888 affect those three articles:

The above figures were so striking and
were the occasion of 50 much comment
among those who heard or read Mr.. DAVIS
speech, that some of our Republican
friends have been trying tOpersuade them
selves to doubt the correctness Of the
figures. Mr.. DAVIS in order to leave no
room for doubt for himself or any one else
sent the figures to Mr.. SPOFFORD librarian
of Congress that he might look over the
records and verify them. Mr.. SPOFFoRD
sends Mr.. DAVIS the following letter:
Ny DEAR SIR: l have received your
figures enclosed and find them substan-
tally correct, except as to the duty on
wool lunmanufactured) in 1sS6 This could
hardly be averaged rs high rs tencents per
pound. since about half the quantity inn
ported paid only 2! and > cents per pound,
included in class 5 Of wOOls,) while the
other half paid 10 cents per pound,
~lclasses l and p Very little wool OF the
highest class valued over - cents per
pound is imported and this bears the
maximum tariff rate OF II cents 4 pound.
Very respectfully,
A. X. S%POFFORD,
Librarian Of Congress.
This leaves no room for doubt. tshOws
how West Virginia's great products
have been Disseminated against by the
Republican tariff.

LETTER OF ENQUIRY.

Rev. 1. B. Grandy, of Logansport,
Ind, writes THE UNIvERsALIsT the
following letter of enquiry
What has become of the following per-
SONS; viz: Q) The two Adams's, of But
falo and Dunkirk, Presbyterian, who re-
jected the doctrine of endless punishment
few years ago? ~ Rev. Mr.. Roberts, of
Kansas City, Mo-, Baptist? 81 DR.. Hol-
land, Episcopalian, formerly at st. Louis,
Mo? az Rev. N. s. Sage, who left us some
years since? (5 Rev. J. A. Dobson? The
readers will be interested in hearing of
them, perhaps.
We answer as follows:
a. The present residence of the
Adams's is not known to us. We have
not heard of them in years. Probably
some of our New York readers may be
able to inform us Of their present where
abouts.
III Rev. j. E. Roberts is now in the
Unitarian ministry and settled over a
Western parish. just at this moment
we cannot say where he is located, but
in one of the Western cities and over
an established society of the Unitarians.
(3) Rev. DR.. Holisad is now, or wa
recently, the pastor of large Episco-
pal church in New Orleans. He has
never recanted his opinion as to the
wickedness of the doctri e of endless
punishment, and has only lately de-
clared it as false as mumbo jum-
b." He is very strong preacher, and
enjoys the liberty of the Episcopal
church to protest against the doctrine
which was stricken out of the creed of
that church over two hundred years
ago.
a. Rev. N. s. Sage is preaching for
the Methodists somewhere in Illinois.
He has never held any prominent posi-
ton in that church, has principally
served on circuit, and rarely comes to
the surface. His position must be a
constant crucifixion. Notwithstanding
his recantation, he is no doubt con-
WINGED by experience, of the truth of
Universalist doctrine, in one particular,
at least he gets his punishment as he
goes along
Is Rev. j. A. Dobson is also preach
ing in this State. He has recently re-
linquished the Congregational fellow
ship and joined the Baptist church.
We noticed his last change few
months ago in paragraph which
Zion's Herald, of Boston, recently cop
led, and expressed the hope that the
brothers piety would survive his vari-
Gus changes. In this hope we also rest.

DEATH OF A MINISTER'S WIDOW.

Mrs. Wilee, relict of Rev. B. N. Wiles,
died at her home in Davenport, Ia, Aug
IA. The body was brought to Macomb,
ILL.,, Monday, and funeral services were
held In the Universalist church on Tues
day, conducted by the pastor, Rev. George
Crum.
Mrs. Wiles will be remembered by many
of our people, as a kind, tender-hearted
and sympathetic woman. The pastorate
of her husband at Macomb, of some six
or eight years, made them many warm
friends both in and out of the church in
that place. Mrs. Wiles was self sacrific-
ing woman for the cause of righteous
ness and truth. She had been a sufferer
for many years, but was patient through
all. Universalism sustained her in life
and sustained he, in death.
