7 ACCIDENTS.
ONE VICTIM OF THE RECENT FRANKLIN, 0.
POWDER EXPLOSION DEAD.
And Another Not Expected 10 Lys-Robert Laihsr
While Hunting Near the Same Place,
Accidentally and Fatally Shot

Last Friday the REGISTER chronicled the
fact that a severe and perhaps fatal powder
explosion had occurred at Franklin, seven
miles west of Bellaire. Since then MIR.
Robert Hall, the owner of the store IN
which the blow-up occurred, has died
from his injuries, and James Wise, an
other of the victims, appears to be grow
ing worse. so that his condition at this
writing is critical. Mr.. Hall is a Mason,
and belongs to the Lodge in Bellaire. his
funeral will take place this morning ut
1880 o'clock.
The people residing near where the ex-
plosion occurred had hardly time to
reconcile themselves to the condition OF
things ere it was learned that the dead
body of Robert Lather had been found In
the woods about one mile back Of Frank
lin. Lather and two friends were out for a
days hunting, Saturday, on the Gifhn
farm. The sportsmen divided, each IL
ouest of a trail of some kind. Lather's
friends heard the report of. his gun and
surprising he had captured some game,
made haste in the direction Of the report.
They found their companion groaning in
the last agonies of death, on II side OF a
brush fence, willie his gun laid on the
other. They tried TO get him to speak,
but the dying man was unable to make
use of his vocal powers, but from the flow
of blood from the back of Lather's head
they guessed the whole story. The
wounded man was carried to a house neal
by, where he soon died. ,
Itappears that Lather was on tie track
of game, and attempted to cross a brush
fence with his gun cooked, when the trig-
ger caught in a twlg and discharged the
weapon, the contents lodging in the IN
fortunate's head, just back of the left ear:
Deceased was thirty years Of age, and
leaves a wife, but no children. He was q
member of the X. Of L., and will be buried
under the auspices of that order at Glen
coe, this moring.

a Tough Gang.

Saturday night about twelve o'clock a
gang of men raised Hades on Locust street,
between tw~enty-sixth and twenty-seventh
streets, awakening all the people along the
street by their loud and vile language.
1t appears that two of the men in the
party wanted to fight, or made believe
they did, and their friends were at
tempting to prevent them. A woman's
voice was heard callingin plaintive accents
upOnOne of the men, but he seemed to
pay no attention to her. The whole
crowd was evidently full of booze of the

GENERAL GOSSIP.

The prohibition campaign is some
thing in the nature of blackmail con-
spiracy against the republican party
The leading principles of the demo
cratic party are free whisky and free
wool.
The third party prohibitionists, who
are generally protectionists are doing their
best to secure the success of democratic
principles.
The Wausau Central Wisconsin re-
marks that according to the democratic
press, when Alexander Mitchell favors the
election of a democrat, he is sage and a
patriot, but when he comes out in favor
of Gov. Rusk, he is a bondholder and
monopolist."
The democratic politicians of Wiscon'
sin are severely denouncing "Gabe'
Bouck for refusing to accept the demo
cratic nomination for governor. Other
people regard it as an indication of his
excellent good sense.
There are said to be 10000 Knights of
Labor in Ohio, and the Democrats nomi-
mated member of that order for the
office of secretary of state in hope of
capturing the whole vote. IT will be in
teresting to note the result.
1t is difficult for the ordinary mind to
comprehend by what process of res son
ing Mr.. Bayard has reached the conclu-
sion that it is none of the public's bust
ness whether Envoy Sedgwick was drunk
or not in the city of Mexico. But Mr..
Bayard's mind moves in mysterious
way its duties to perform" and ordinary
mortals should not be too inquisitive.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, speaking of
presidential candidates for 1888, says the
republican National Convention will dc
but one certain thing, and that will be to
nominate the man whom they think most
likely to win, irrespective of other inhu-
ences. That is the way to talk, and that
is the way to feel about the matter. The
persistent advocacy of any particular
candidate two years in advance of the
convention is entirely premature.

A Cow Dies by Her own Horn,
West Chester News

Abiah Dickinson East Bradfort, found
one of his cows dead in the pasture field
Her death was from a most singular
cause. She was smallsized Attorney,
had crumpled horns, and when found one
os her hind legs was at her head, and on
closer examination it was found that the
horn had penetrated through the leg, just
above the hoof and 80 tightwas it that the
man who took off the hide was unable to
remove it and had to cut off the leg be
fore he couldado So The supposition is
that the cow was lying down at the time.
when she was stung by some incect and
attempted to brnsh'it off with her hind
foot, when it caught on the horn, and in
her endevors to pull the foot away drove
the horn in still deeper, until it passed
entirely through the leg. Mr.. Dickinson
thinks that death from so singular a caure
as this never before occurred.

How He Got His Start.
~ ~ ~ -

Ex-senator Spencer who is here gave
me the other day the story of his first
piece of good luck, which illustrates the
fact that fortune has quite as mucn 10 do
even with mans getting good start in
life as mere merit Spencer says that he
went TO Des Moines, Iowa, when he was a
young fellow, and arrived there with Just
$75 in his pocket. He was alone and
without friend. He was very homesick,
and went TO bed early 80 escape the blues.
While he was in bed he was awakened by
conversation in the next room. The
conversation was on such subject that it
attracted his attention Immediately. He
got .up and listened at a crack in the thin
partition in his room and the next and
heard the two commissioners who had the
locating of the capitol of the state of Iowa
discussing whore they would place it, They
finally agreed where they would go, and
then made arrangements to buy certain
tract of land adjacent to the location, the
only part that was for sale. Mr.. Spencer
said that he got up very early in the
morning and went TO the owner of this
piece of land. He asked him what he
would take for it, and he said 81 800 cash.
Spencer said: "Well, | suppose thirty days
is cash is it noty l am here from New
York, and it will take me about that time
to get the money The man said:
Thirty days is good enough if you can
pay something down" So Mr.. Spencer
paid $50 and took receipt for it. An
hour later the man wanted TO back out of
sale, but the RECEIPT held it, Spencer sold
that peice of land so as to clear $1,000
within the next ten days This gave him
his first start. He went to Nebraska, and
from that state went into the war While
he was in Nebraska he lived III hotel with
five friends, each of whom afterward
came to the United 5s2tes ser2te. These
men we're Kellogg, Paddock, Hitchcock,
Upton, Saunders.

women then were AS agreeable, and the
men as brave and forceful, as in this age.
But II is certainly interesting to consi'er
whether, by reason of cheap and chopped
up literary food, we are coming round
practically to the Middle Ages relative TO
reading, that is, to reading anything ex-
cept what is called news, or ingenious
sorts of inventions and puzzles which
can be talked about as odd incidents in
daily life are talked about. Reading to
any intellectual purpose requires patience
abstraction and continuity of thought.
This habit of real reading is not ac-
quired by the perusal of newspapers, nor
by the swift dash which most people give
to the cheap publications which are had
for the picking up, and usually valued
accordingly. 1t is an open question
whether cheap literature is helping US
any toward becoming a thoughtful and
reading people.
