CHAMBERLIN.-Mrs. Elery Chamber
lin died at her home at Paddock vii
lage Thursday evening, under peculiar
ly trying circumstances. She had been
preparing through the day for Il little
birthday party of family friends to eel
ebrate her sons 25th anniversary.
About four o'clock she complained to
her youngest daughter of pain in her
stomach. She grew rapidly worse and
before her daughter could get her un
dressed for bed she was comparatively
helpless. The son coming home at
this time went at once for doctor.
profusely and grew cold. Warm
drinks were administered and mustard
applications over the stomach, but all
to no purpose. She seemed perfectly
conscious and when asked by her
daughter if she did not think she was
dying, replied in the negative; but she
passed away between 5 and 6 o'clock,
before a physician arrived or her son
had returned. Mrs. Chamberlin had
been vigorous, hard working woman
all her life and was in usual health the
day she died. Physicians attribute
her death to either apoplexy or heart
disease. She leaves a husband and
three children Marion, Adah and
William. Her maiden name was
Martha Rollins and she came here from
Concord, N. H., 25 years ago. She had
been member of the North Congre-
gational church for the past II years.

Harrison and the Blair Bill.

We are perfectly agreed that
those who mean to vote for Cleve-
land shall continue to fire away IN
the opening of the campaign, at
Gen. Harrison, charging him with
all sorts of things, which are very
soon to be quickly disproyen. The
reaction will help Harrison and
protection and will injure Cleve'
land and free trade. The charge
that Gen. Harrison opposed the
Blair bill is a sample. On Mon
day of last week the 9Th INST
Mr.. Houk, of Tennessee, on the
floor of Congress, boldly nailed
this charge in the following fash
ion: He referred to the statement
coming from Democratic sources
that Gen. Harrison had opposed
the Blair educational bill, and de-
clared that the fact was that Sena-
tor Harrison had on one occasion
voted directly for the bill, aud the
second time, while declining to
vote for the bill, had stated that
he was paired with Hawley, and
if that Senator was present he
would vote aye. Therefore he adj
iured the Democrats to quit lying
about it. We presume this settles
that one l-BriStOl Ne,cS.

ANOTABLE DETECTION.

One of the most sigidcant detec-
tons from the Democratic party is
that of Mr.. Charles S. Higgins, OF
Brooklyn. Mr.. Higgins has been
a presidential elector on the Demo
cratic ticket in New York and a
member of the Democratic State
Committee. lie has held various
places of importance, and he IS
now a trustee OF the Brooklyn
Bridge, an appointment that came
from Democratic officials. In al.
dition to his prominence in the
party, he is a wealthy man, and is
we'll known throughout his city and
state. But Mr.. Higgins is also a
large manufacturer, and is the
employer of hundreds of men, and
he cannot stand free trade atlll-
iations. He explains how the
Mills bill would operate in these
words:
"Ihe reelection of Cleveland

that ever happened to this country.

This is the plain statement oil a
business man whose business sagac'
lty IS greater than his craftsmanship
He sees Just what the Mills bill
would do, and he wisely puts all
his influence against the admins
tration that has made open war
fare on the principle of protection
There are thousands of other leyel-
headed Democrats who think just
as Mr.. Higgins does.

SEVEN MEN KILLED BY STEAM.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2O.-Two
firemen and seven deck hands we're
killed this morning at l o'clock by
the explosion OF steam pipe on
the towboat Canary at a point near
Westport, Ky, II miles above
Louisville. The Canary was re-
turning to Pittsburg with a tow of
empty coal barges. The men were
killed by scalding to death in the
after cabin. None Of the officers
we're hart. The Canary came back
here this morning with the bodies.
The dead men were all from Pitts
burg and vicinity.
LOUISVILLE, July 20.-When
the boat reached the west port,
twenty-six miles up, everything,
according to the first mates story,
was running smoothly. lie took
a walk back to the cabin and
found all quiet. He stopped and
talked to q friend, George McCann,
who was lying on a lower berth
near the door. The latter half
rose in his bed and remarked "Pll
soon be at home with my family"
Then he lay down to sleep. The
mate returned to the pilot house
and was cOnversing With Captain
Reno, the pilot. They we're then
two miles above Westport. Sud
denly there was terrific explosion,
the whole boat became enveloped
in steam and the machinery stop
ped. The captain, who was asleep,
hurriedly dressed, called his men,
and made preparations to land
The yawl was lowered, a line taken
on, and the boat was towed ashore
and made fast to tree. Then the
captain proceeded to the after
cabin where the explosion had &C.

was in his berth. His death must
have been instantaneous, for he
lay in the same position as when
he retired. Robert Jones was on
the floor and barely alive. He was
terribly burned, and lived bat
fifteen minutes. He died with his
wife's name on his lips. Charles
Luster was found outside lying on
his face. lie was not dead, aud
told them that he had run o1t
there az soon as he could recover
from the shock of the explosion
He was almost baked, his skin was
parched, and little jets OF blood
stood out from the pores of his
body. In two hours he was dead.
Geo. McCann lay dead in exactly
the same position he was In when
the first mate left him but half an
hour before.
Mr.. Kelley was pulled out from
under his bunk and was alive, but
he was also terribly burned. Chss.
Chambers, the other man who slept
in the cabin, was blown out OF the
door and had q miraculous escape.
The officers of the boat can give
no conception of the accident, and
say that the machinery was in.

then in excellent condition. An

Street corner politicians may
talk glibly about the advantages OF
free trade and present arguments
for which the uniformed can find
no answer. WOrkingmen may thus
be convinced that free trade is Just
the thing which is needed to cure
all the evils of their condition, and
place them on the high road to
prosperity. Bat it behOOves work
ingmen to be exceedingly careful
how they pin their faith to such ar
guments, however plausible they
may appear to them. Workingmen
cannot afford to allow themselves
to be deceived in this matter. This
is no trivial affair with them. It's
something which is traught with
immense consequences to their
future. 1t is worthy of the most
careful consideration that it is pos
sible for them TO give any subject.
1t is of vital interest to them to
give it this consideration. If they
make a mistake now they will not
find it an easy task to correct it. If
they suffer themselves to be delud-
ed by the specious arguments of
the free traders, and vote against
the policy which has elevated them
30 far above their brethren OF other
governments, it may be half a life
time before they will be able to
correct the mistake that they
make. The workingmen have more
at stake IN this contest than any
other class. They are reaping bene-
fits from the protective tariff which
1t would be dire distress to them to
be deprived of. 1t will be well for
them they accep, this fact as true,
and close their ears to free trade
sophisuy. There is no country in
the world where the labOrlng classes
enjoy the comforts that they do in
America. Til : ia a fact which it
requires no argument to prove. All
who are acquainted with the facts
know it to be true. Is the pro.
tective tariff in any wise response
BILE for this ? The free trader, seek
ing to create discomfort in the
minds Of the wOrkingmen, says not.
But a system which guards the
