And they are their own winding sheet I;
And their lying mayhap caused their
If not, twas their festive dead beat.
For no flood that ever swept DER us,
No fire, or hot desert blast,

As the dues fall thick and fast.

But this was not unexpected
Twas for want OF "rocks" that they

Who seeks out their last little grave-pit-
The Sheriff of the county is he.
They fell in the heat of the battle,
And gave up the ghost in the test;
But many of them had, it is certain,
But the ghost OF life at the best.
Their.cause was worthy Of vict'ry,
And they fought till life ebbed away,
And proved their loyal devotion
In this, that they fought without pay.
Here are tears for the loved and departed,
May their rest be that of the Just,
But may none that are here represented,
Like them go down in the dust

THE CLAY COUNTY MINERS.
Their Visit to General Harrison Year
Ago Recalled.
Harrisburg Patriot,

The members of Clay county, In
diana, who are without employment
because they refuse to work for &c
cents day are doubtless thinking
just now of the visit they made to
the home of General Harrison on
July 26, 1888. They recall, it is
quite likely, the speech of Mayor
Carter, who in introducing them to
the new president of the United
States, said:
1.-THE visit is made for the purpose
of attesting our devotion to the great
principles of protective tariff.
These men want such policy adopt
ed as will enrich us rather than that
other policy which tends to the pau
perism and restitution of our people.
In short, they want high wages, plen-
ty of work and plenty Of good bread
and butter. They believe that you,
sir, are the typical representative of
the great principles that underlie the
platform of the Republican party,
such as high wages for our working
men," etc.
That "policy to enrich" of which
Mayor Carter spoke, year ago next
Wednesday, is in full operation, yet
in spite of it hard working miners
are asked to toll for the munificent
compensation of &C cents day. Per-
haps when the next presidential
campaign comes around the Clay
county miners, at least, will know
enough not to be misguided and
hoodwinked by blatherskites of the
Carter kind.

YOUNGSTOWN Physicians Again Estimate
the Dead, and Place Them
at the Above Number.

JoHNsTowN, PA, June 24.-All the
local physicians met accidentally. at
the Bedford Street Hospital last
night. They represented all parts
Of the stricken city, and after dis
cussing the calamity, all joined in
the conclusion that not soul less
than 10000 people were lost in the
food.
On account of the general knowl-
edge of the people possessed by the
physicians the estimate is looked
upon as reliable.
Two new cases of typhoid fever
were reported among the workmen
this morning. They were taken to
the Red Cross Hospital. The Red
Cross people have opened additional
headquarters. This organization is
still doing much good.
August Bumgardner, resident
here and foreign laborer employed
in clearing up the wreckage near the
P. r. r. Bridge, were reported dan
gerously sick with blood poisoning
in their arms, the sun having bis
tered their barred arms and the fetid
water poisoned them. The arms of
both the men were swollen out of all
proportion and the physicians ex-
press little hope for the recovery of
either. The foreign laborer was sent
to Pittsburg hospital and Bum
gardner is at his home in Kernville.

II anybody expects new court
house to be built in this county with
out some kicking by some tax payers,
they are expecting something that
has never yet come to pass in the
history Of any public measure.
There never was and there never
will be public enterprise that did
not find somebody to oppose it, for
some reason or other, however fimsy.
There is in every population large
class of people who are put up like
mules, with the ruling impulse a
tergo. They kick spontaneously and
Of necessity at everything and any
thing within sight.
They cant help it They are bound
to kick. 1t is no criterion therefore,
of the propriety or improperly of
building a new court house, that we
find some people kicking. 1t is no
guide in determining the needs of
the county in this behalf.
The one thing to be deliberately
determined is whether it is essential
to the public interests to have new
building.
If it is, that ought to settle it. If
it is not, that ought to settle it..
fit COMFORTS with the public well
fare to wait for an old building to
fall down before putting up new
one, then we don't want a new one
yet.
The NEW DOMINION has no interest
apart from the general interest in
the matter. 1t believes that the
county commissioners ought to de-
eide the matter from business
standpoint and without regard to
outside clamor, for everybody knows
the county is abundantly able to
build court house if it needs it.
1t could build it and never feel the
expense.
Nevertheless we are not averse to
public discussion of the matter.
If any tax payer wants to vent him
self either for or against the project,
he can be heard through the columns
of the New DOMINION free of charge.

The admission of females into the
collegiate department of the State
University is a mistake Co-educa-
ton has been tested in the Universe
ties of Germany and Austria and
has been abandoned. Man is natur-
ally rude and woman naturally re-
fined, but constant contact has more
Of a tendency to make woman rude
than to refine man. Woman is not
fitted as man is for the active duties
of life. Intellectually she may be the
equal of man but not otherwise.
Nature has incapacitated her from
active duties for nine months in the
year to enable her to bear children.
1t is the experience of the world that
the less contact there is between the
sexes the better.
The above paragraph from the
Clarksburg Mems is a sample of the
objections to o-education offered by
the few State papers that offer to
criticise the Board of Regents for
-theisaotion in admitting ladies to
the University. There is nothing in
it that calls for reply. We repro
duce it merely to call attention to
the absurdities it contains. To say
the least, il is remarkable that in the
light of this nineteenth century,
sentence like the one at the close of
the paragraph quoted, should find
its way into the columns of reputa-
BILE newspaper.

POSTPONED.

The restriction in the title TO the
seminary lot has induced Mr.. j. X.
Durr to decline the purchase of that
property, and our summer hotel is
indefinitely postponed.
We are sorry for this break in
what was to this town, very prom
Using enterprise. We are sorry too,
because we had faith in Mr.. DUR,
above all other men, making it a
great success.
But we do not believe that the fu-
ture popular summer resort, is there
by defeated. The natural and pre-
eminent advantages which this town
offers in this direction will eventual
ly draw the right man to improve the
opportunity. When the river is
opened for navigation to this point,
a summer hotel will be among the
first and most urgent necessities of
the situation.
Nevertheless, little attention and
little effort on the part of our people
may greatly expedite the matter.
We believe it entirely practicable to
secure a man or company to under
take this within the present year.
If a committee of citizens will seek
out man and correspond with him,
he can be found and he can be in
duced to take hold. Money is be-
ing invested in summer hotels every
year in localities that do not prom
Use as well as this. What is needed
is to toot our horn, and "put our
wares on the market.
A summer hotel would do more to
bring our town to the notice of CAPT.

points than anything we could do.

they are on such an errand they have

resources would be known and APP

tai would be developing them. We
could do more to advertise ourselves

What we want is to keep this
hotel project in view-to
talk it up, and it is sure to come
for there are millions in it, more or
less.
