BARNEsvILLE, o., February 2.-The
farm Lafayette Bolon, which lies five miles
south east Of this place, was the scene Of
destruction and death to-day. About
seven weeks ago Martin Gilldow of Quaker
City placed saw mill on the Bolon farm
which was in operation until twenty min,
utes past l o'clock this afternoon, when
the boiler burst, instantly killing the
manager and sawyer, John Arnold, and
an employe named Charles Sullivan.
Benjamin Travis, abystander, aged nine
teen, was struck and knocked q distance Of
over one hundred feet aud cannot recover.
Joseph Stubs was terribly scalded and
bruised, and his brother, Samuel Stubbs,
was badly burned. Frank Warrick, an
other bystander, was also injured, but with
several others he escaped serious results.
John Arnold was a resident of Quaker
City, about forty-6ve years of age, and the
father of five children. His son Abe
was engineer of the boiler,
and left his post few
minutes before the explosion. He became
fearful of the boiler, which had reached a
pressure Of lis pounds, and exchanged
places with his father, who was standing
by the saw. The fathers face was terribly
torn and his body mangled, but the son
escaped without injury. The force had
some difficulty in saving log
when the engineer fred beyond the capacity
of the wornout boiler, producing the hor-
rible accident.

Special Correspondence Of the ReGiSLer.
/ CHARLESTON, February Last night
about fifty Republicans responded to call
20 meet at the Court House TOR the purpose
of organizing club, to be composed of all
Republicans who have the good OF the party
at heart BY way of a reminder, Abe Bur-
lew suggested that the whites and blacks
organize separate clubs, az each could then
do more effective work. This suggestion
caused Lawyer Bsggs to rise in his
seat and praise the grand old
party for what it has done
and predict glorious victory next fall.
TIE idea Of organizing separately
brought Jim Campbell, descendent of
Ham, TO his feet. and he really believed it
TO be Just the thing, as the colored folks
could work in their own way.

all to have one club composed of whites
and blacks. 1t was finally agreed that the
colored people could settle the matter
among themselves and report AT the meet
ing next Friday. After forty-two whites
and colored people had placed their pames
on the roster, an adjournment was effect

licans were conspicuous for their absence.
The Greenbackers were bound to see

final disposition of unclaimed deposits
was passed in the Senate to-day.
A bill to provide for the election of an
additional Judge Of the first division oi
the Sixth Judicial District, passed the
House. The necessity for the legislation
is due to the fact that, Judge Clarke Irvine
who had for many years been an active
maD in public affairs, became mentally in.
capacitsted after being on the bench few
years, by reason Of overwork. Strong
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
However, when the bill came up in the
Senate to-day on special order, Radical
Senators like Alexander Rannells and Ford,
jumped on the bill with both feet and pro.
ceedsd to abuse the unfortunate Irvine in
severe terms because he couldn't resign
and give Governor Foraker q chance to
appoint good Republican.
The further consideration Of the bill
was postponed for ten days. Much sympa,
