ITEMS FROM THE SOUTH.

INTELLIGENCE of a sad accident comes
from Onacock, Va. -Four small children at
that place undertook to build fire with
coal oil, when the can exploded, throwing
the burning oil over the children, igniting
their clothing. There were no grown per-
sons in the house at the time, and the chill
dren were SO frightened that they ran out
with their blazing garments into the open
air. Their cries soon brought help, but not
before the children had been SO badly
burned that two have since died and the
other two are fatally injured.
A. A. STEAGALT, charged with incest
with his own daughter and with numbering
her babe, was taken from Jail by a mob at
Henrietta, Tex, and strung up by the neck.
After he had hanged five minutes the Sher-
itf cut him down. He lay as if dead for some
time and then began to rave like maniac.
He is now in a critical condition. The
crowd hooted and shouted while he was
hanging and after he was cut down.
A SPECIAL from Monroe, La, says Geo.
Robinson, colored, charged with having
shot and killed NIillard F. Parker on the
night of the 18th of last December, was
taken from the parish Jail by party of 100
men and hanged near the scene of the mur-
der.

Agriculture state that the quality is poorer

which looked to product of about $780,

CANNON CAPTURED.
Tho Mormon Apostle, Altar Lsaping
from . Train, Safely Collarsd
BY the Marshal

l03N LAKE Upoclel.I
The city has been in state of great excite
ment and deep anxiety all day. The United
States Marshal, with his prisoner, George
Q. Cannon, was expected on the train at II
o'clock. Many hundred people gathered At
the depot, and some were apprehensive that
an attempt would be made at rescue.
Shortly before the arrival Of the train dis
patches were received saying that at day.
light this morning at Promontory. at tho
north end Of Great Salt Lake, Cannon
jumped from the train and escaped. Those
were followed by other kilograms announc-
ing his recapture, since which the town has
been flooded with rumors and improbable
stories that Cannon fell from the train; that
he jumped through closet window mud
broke leg; that on q second attempt to
escape he was shot dead BY the Marshal:
that he made good his escape, party with
horses having been in readiness to carry him
away. All these stories tended to increase
anxiety and intensity excitement, the aifnis
being almost the sole topic Of conversation.
The facts are that Cannon either jumped
from the train with intention to escape o.
fell accidentally and was slightly hurt. He
was missed in a few minutes. The train
stopped and the officers returned, finding
Cannon at tho station house. They then
decided to keep the prisoner there till moro
force arrived. and he has been guarded Nil
day, several friends and members OF his
family being with him. This cvcring :

THE action of the coke workers at their
recent convention at Scottdale, Pa, in re-

a tendency to increase the bitterness of the
struggle, and settlement seems further

garians armed with rifles, reyolyers, hatchets
and clubs marched with military precision
through Mt. Pleasant to the Standard
Works. 1t had been reported that work
was to begin there on that day, and the
parade was for the purpose of preventing
the resumption. No attempt however. was
made to start the works.

UNHAPPY BLAINE.

Hon. George G.. Gorham, eX-United
States Senator from California, ex-Secre-
tary OF the Senate, and de ,facto the most
rabid and stalwart Republican in North
America to-day, in letter to the New
York Sun, thanking that journal for its
fairness in speaking of his criticism of
Blaines book, ends his letter as follows:
In citing to-day my charges against Mr..
Blaine as evidence that he acted with the
States Rights Democracy and against his
own party, by the grace of which he then
held the third office in the land, you score
point against the London Times. He was
an anti-coercionist when coercion, still re-
garded as possible, was a test of Republican
ism. But in order to be perfectly fair with
your transatlantic contemporary, ought
you not to say that ever since the South cast
Its electoral vote solidly against him in 1884,
he has been as belligerent as drum major
on general muster dayY See his Augusta
speech Immediately after the Tribune ceased
claiming his election.
This change is no more remarkable, how
> ever, than his sudden enthusiasm on the
Irish question. Throughout all the dark
and terrible days of the sway of the Coer-
clon act in Ireland, Mr.. Blaine was as silent
rs an oyster.
The Irish cause is surely gaining ground
WueH III CHI elllSU Sucn recruits. L rejoice
most heartily at the fact.
GEo. G. GoRHAM.
WASHINGTON, June 8.
1t is an old saying in California, that
when Gorham camps on mans trail,
that mans name is cleft" Mr.. Gorham
knows Mr.. Blaine by reason OF many
years spent in the same political atmos-
house, he is what the street gamins call
"a holy terror" at smashing glass in the
domocles OF political hypocritcs, hence it
is on the boards for the next Republican
National Convention, that Blaine will
think the solid earth rose up and smote
him when George c. turns his vocal hose
on him.

THE DOLPHIN CASE.

Captain Meade says in his report of the
Dolphin's trial trip that the vessel is kind
of naval crazy quilt. This refers to her de-
sign, and not to her construction. He con-
siders her fairly well built vessel of no
particular use to the navy. This seems to
lift the burden in some degree from Roach
and place it on Chandler's Board of Ship
Arohitects.-St. Louis Republican.
As we have shown, over and over again,
Mr.. Roach and Mr.. Chandler's "Board of
Ship Architects We're practically identical.
-NelO York Sun.
Roach had built the Dolphin on contract
and under the direct instructions and super
vision of Government directors.-Sdh Lake
Tribune.
In line with the statement OF the New
York Sun, the DEMOCRAT will publish, at
the right time, indisputable proof that
Roach's and Chandler's Board OF Con-
structors" were identical. A journal that
indorses the imputation Of dishonesty to
an officer Of the navy under Whitney's
administration, will have hard time
backing up denials of dishonesty under
such man as Chandler.

The Hon. S. S. (Sunset Cox, our Min
lister to Turkey, has been making hay in
his customary manner, and has so
worked into the good graces Of the Sultan
as to cause that monarch to present him
with the Grand Order OF the Heftikat.
But why go to Constantinople to fight
tleas and drink strong coffee, in order to
get the Iieftikat? Ii the honorable Sam
