DO those figures show such an ad.
vance in prices Of the necessaries OF
life between 1860 and 1884 as that the
laborer's net gain was not quite 10 per
cent, although his wages had advanced
"a per cent? The figures give the
highest and the lowest prices. The
assrage prices, therefore, are:

"The investigation showed that ever since
1880 there has been a steady upward ten
depcy of both wages and prices the former
advancing more rapidly than the latter;
that during the low-tariff period, from 1880
70 1880, the average Increase In wages In
twenty occupations was sc. q per cent: while
the cost OF living advanced only l2.7 per
cent, so that the workingman gained al
most as per cent: but that during the high
tariff period, since 1860, the average in-
crease In wages in twenty-four occupations
has been only Y4.4 per cent, and the ad-
vance OF prices las per cent, 80 that the la

DEArn FRO 4 AN OVERDOSE.
| Young Nan Takes an Ounce OF Chior-
ate of Potassium.


A Young man Takes an Ounce Of ChIor>
ate of Potassium.
Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30 julius
Fremder, son Of Edward Fremder, died from
the effects of an overdose Of medicine. The
circumstances of the case, as near as
could be learned gre as follows: The IN
fortunate young man, who is about thirty
years of age, has been afflicted with o dis
eased mind for some time past and has
been in the Asylum at Weston. About
three days since, he came home on q visit
70 his parents who live on the east
side OF Market street, opposite
the lower end of the Fifth ward market
house. since his return he has eaten very
little and on Saturday he sent his father to
a drug store to get an ounce of iodide OF
potassium, which wish was complied with.
The young man was q graduate of a phar-
maceutical college and his parents had con-
idence in his knowledge of what
he was doing and allowed him to have his
own way j IN the matter. This was about
noon on Saturday and by evening he had
consumed all Of the drug. This did not
have any apparent bad effect upon him,
so Yesterday morning when he
wrote chlorate of potassium
on a sip Of paper and asked his father to
oct an ounce oft for a gargle, he did 50,
asking the druggist from whom he pur-
chased The medicine in what proportion to
use it. He was told to dissolve it in a pint
of water and use about two t~easpoonstul at
a dose. 1t appears, however, that the son
dissolved the potash in a glassful of water
and drank the whole dose at once. The
parents evidently did know this or did not
realize any danger from it, again relying
upon their sons acquaintance with drugs
preventing him from taking an overdose Of
medicine.
For this reason probably they did not
think it necessary to call a doctor, but
about 4 o'clock the young man became so
limp that they became alarmed aud sula-
moned DR.. Edwards. When the doctor
arrived young Fremder was in a total state
Of collapse. The potash had resulted in q
suspension of the pulse, while the heart
had ceased to beat except with q mere
hutter. An attempt was made to restore
him, but it was too late, and shortly after
the young man was a corpse. The un-
fortunate victim OF bis own misjudgment
was affected with hypochondria and was
always o great medicine taker and it is
supposed he got it into his head that pot
ash would cure his ills.

A PLEASANT EXCURSION.

The Fraternal Visit OF the Ohio Valley
Trades Assembly to S~teubsnyille.
Yesttr isy morning a large crowd boarded
the excursion train on the "PSky," which
conveyed the Ohio falIey Trades Assem-.
BY to S.eubenville. The train consisted
Of four coaches and all Of them were we'll
filed with members Of the Assembly and
their friends. The train left at 9 o'clock,
stopping at the Top mill to take on those
going up from Martins Ferry. The trip
was exceedingly pleasant and everything
passed off smoothly. When S%teubenvills
was reached the excursionists were met
by q large delegation Of citizens
and members of the Jefferson county
Trades Assembly and escorted to CARROTS
Hall. Mr.. McConnaughey, President of
the Jefferson county Assembly, called the
meeting to order, and q committee OF ar
engagements was appointed for the after
noon exercises. Then the meeting ad-
journed until 2 o'clock p. m, and ali pres
eut dispersed to partake of dinner.
In the afternoon the hall was packed
and after the meeting was called to order
Mr.. Tom Irwin, OF this city, was made
chairman, and Messrs. Richard Robertson,
of this city, snd Al. Beach, of
Steubenville, were appointed secre-
taries. Mr.. John EhmAnn, Secre-
tsry Of the Ohio Valley Trades Assembly,
was fist introduced and made q telling
speech, taking for his subject, "Organiza.
ton" He advised all branches OF labor
to organize, especially in SteubenVille.
His remarks were listened to with close at
t%ention. Mr.. j. Il. Burt slso made a
pointed speech on the labor question, in
which the present condition Of the nail
ers' strike was discussed in all its
bearings. Other talks on the wage
question were listened to and
all heartily ~applanded. The meeting was
as profitable as it was pleasant, and at its
conclusion the guests were escorted to the
depot and left for home about $50, arriv.
ing here one hour later. The gentlemen
in charge of the affair deserve credit for
the manner in which things we're conducted.
and it can be truthfully said that the K
cursion was one of the quietest and most
enjoyable that ever left the city. 1t is
hoped that the Jefferson County Assembly
