THINK that Col. W. L. HEARN Is
making very sad mistake in allowing
the Republican politicians to use him as q
stalking horse in their campaign. We
also think the Republican politicians are
making sad mistake. They are angling
for labor votes with the wrong bait. We
are convinced that the Colonel is not seek

Thrilling Experience of q Train Load Of

HAGERsTOwN, Nd. July 1S.-An ex-
cursion on the Shenandoah Valley Rail
road had the thrilling experience Monday
night of riding behind locomotive at the
throttle OF which was msdman. The
Shenandoah railroad connects with the
West Maryland road at that place. The
excursion was to Pelmar, on the Blue
Ridge mountains, and the train wan re-
turning when the exciting episode oc-
Cured. 1t was about 8 o'clock. The
lamps had been lighted and the train was
speeding over the mountains south of
here. The conductor was collecting tick
els, when he and the passengers were
startled by the train suddenly stopping
and series Of wild yells from the direc.
ton of the engine. The conductor hur-
ried forward. In the baggage car he met
the engineer and fireman, their faces
blanched with terror. Just then the train
began slowly moving, my Good"
exclaimed the engineer, there
is a crazy man in the cab. He excitedly
related how at q station just passed the
man had jumped on the tender, and after
covering the engineer and fireman with o
pistol he had forced them to leave and
climb back in the baggage car. No time
was to be lost. All brakes we're hard down.
The train was moving slowly. The con-
ductor jumped to the ground, while the
engineer climbed back over the tender.
The conductor picked up large stone and
called to the crazy man to jump down. He
responded with shot. As he fired out Of
the window, the engineer crawled in,
seized the throttle and stopped the train.
The conductor threw the stone, and it
cut terrible cash in his head. He turned
out to be Henry Miller, Of Bentonyills,
Va, who had been crszsd by liquor. The
passengers were badly frightened.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The pottery
schedule, which had been passed over by
the House, was taken up this afternoon,
and the duty on decorated ware was re-
stored to so per cent. sd vslorem, the bill
providing only As per cent. The ire
pressibla Buchanan, of New Jersey, offered
an amendment to have the other grades re-
stored to those now in force
THE MOST AGGRAVATED DEBATE
of the day followed. Buchanan illustrated
his remarks by samples of coarse and high
priced ware, and insisted that the reduc-
ton proposed would come entirely from
the pockets Of the workingmen. Repre-
sentative Wilson, of West Virginia, who
prepared the Pottery clauses in the pend
ing bill, took issue with the gentleman
from New Jersey, and explained that the
lower rate proposed in the present bill
gave as much protection as under the pres
eut law. The reduction on crates and
hogsheads, direct advantage to the Amer
lean manufacturer Of Pottery, was
EQUAL To A TEN PER CENT. ADVANCE
iu tariff, as protective feature. Further,
the rebate for broken ware coming into
this country was abolished, and the regu-
lations of the Treasury Department in pre-
venting undervslustions, was another ad'
vantage to the home manufacturer. These
two circumstances were the equiva-
lent of a direct levy Of ten per cent
on pottery imported, as far as the Ameri-
can potter is concerned. Buchanan OBJ
jscted to the hogshsad and crate argument,
but failed to make his case. There was
an amusing incident in the course Of the
debate. General Goff, who had been
coached upon several items in the pottery
schedule tried to trip Representative Will
son with some technical questions. The
latter not claiming to be an expert could
not answer readily, and Golf called upon
Chairman Mills to answer.
GOFF CALLED DOWN.
"You don't know what You are talking
about YOURSELF" said Mr.. Mills.
~ fancy know something about it.
Try me and see," said GOff, confidently.
Congressman Bynum, Of the committee,

decorated stone ware dinner plate.

Bynum, as a test of Mr.. COTS expertness.
81 can't see at this distance" said Mr..
Goff, beginning to crawfish.
Come over here and look at it then"
said Mr.. Bynum.
The gentleman from West Virginia
weakened. and sat down, amid the laugh
ter Of the House. His reputation as a
pottery expert is gone. A vote wss taken
when the confusion subsidized, and Buch-
snan's motion was lost.

IRON MEN DISSOLVE.
fHB WESTERN IRON ASSOCIATION Is NO
MORE.
The Manufacturers Hold Meeting and Conclude 10
DissOlvs-All Firms Absolved From Thar
Plsdgse-A General Resumption
Looked for Very Shortly.

PTTsBURG, Pa, July 18.-The West
ern Iron Association is dissolved. The
Conference Committee of the Association
met here to-day, and after q long sitting
came to the conclusion that 1t was better
70 dissolve. The several firms which had
vowed allegiance to the Association and
who agreed with the other members to
stand ont against the Amalgamated scale
breaking faith and singing. caused the
fatal disruption of the organization. The
committee adopted the following:
Resolved, That the conference committee
efmanusacturers be dissolved, and that al
members of the association Of manufac-
turers of iron, steel and nails who have
not sigued the Amalgsmated scale, be
absolved from all pledges, written or other
wise, and are authorized to act in their in
dividusl capacity regarding the starting Of
their works.
A GENERAL RESUMPTION IS NOW LOOKED
FOR
in few days. Up to date 3s firms, en-
ploying about 25, 900 men, have signed the
scale. The latest acquisition is Coleman,
Shields & Co., Of Niles, o., who signed
this afternoon. 1t is probable that q new
organization composed of the manufac-
turers west of Pittsburg will be formed,
similar to the one in existence eight years
ago, when the Western manufacturers Sc
cured reduction to Pittsburg rates, hav-
ing previously had to pay fifteen centsss sd-
ditional.
This evening Zug & Go. placed their sig
nature to the scale. The works will be
started once. Spang, Chalfant & Co. have
succeeded in importing nearly enough men
to operate the steel and iron plant at Etna.
As many of the new men are foreigners,
they are hooted 9 great deal and trouble is
anticipated.
