No New Developments Concerning
the Killing of Bird.

NO NoW OoN61OpnSnJS concerning
the Killing of Bird.
MADISON, FLA, Oct. 16-Nothing new
has been discovered going to show who the
party or parties were who shot the negro
John Bird, an account of which tragedy
has been published in the NOR MING NEWS.
Some Of the negroes say that they think
some Of their own color were concerned in
it. About two years ago, Bird, in striking
at another negro named Charlie Miller
with a billet of wood, missed him, striking
Miller's mother and killing her almost
instantly. Some seemed to think that the
killing Of Bird the other night had so me-
thing to do with the killing Of Miller's
mother, two years ago.
The receipts of cotton continue to be

Powder Explosion in a Factory at
MiIkesbarre.

WILKEsBARRE, PA, February 25.-
A terrible disaster occurred at Ply
mouth, a few milss from here, this al
ternoon, by which the souls OF ten Girls
and one NAH were hurried into eternity.
Back Of the Gaylord shaft stood the
factory OF John Powell, where were
manufactured squibs, used by the min
ers IN lOOsening coal. The factory en-
ployed eighty four girls, their ages
ranging from twelve TO twenty wears.
and several male workmen. While the
majority of the girls were a. their
homes eating dinner the people were
startled by the deafening thunders of a
terrific explosion. They rushed terror
stricken to their doors and windows and
in the distance saw clouds Of smoke
ascending from the squib factory. Soon
large crowd had gathered around it
and women began wriDging their hands
and men turned away from the sight
presented when the charred body of a
young girl was seen IN one Of the rooms
and the fact became known that at
least 20 persons were in the building
at the time of the explosion eating their
MONDAY lunch.
The scene was fraught with terror as
the girls, some Of them bleeding. others
gasping for a few breaths of fresh air.
rushed to the windows and screamed
frantically for help About this time a
doZer miners from the adjoining COLI
cry came upon the scene and as soon as
they saw the bleeding forms of the girls
calling for aid, rushed towards the
building in body, but fate prevented
their proffered succor. As soon as they
stepped near the door another terrible
explosion took place and the entire
building collapsed, burying in the ruins
the forms that a moment before stood
crying for assistance. The brayer OF
the men. when the smoke and flying de-
bris had settled, rushed among the
ruins and one by one the bodies were
found and taken out, charred beyond
recognition, bleeding and mangled.
As mothers saw and recognized some
familiar token or piece of dress by
which they could tell their loved ones,
the scene was one that represented the
extreme throes of sorrow and destruc.
ton.
The bodies as fast as they were taken
out, were removed to an undertaking
establishment, where they were placed
in row. There features were so badly
mutilated that they were scarcely re-
cogniZable. Eleven girls and one mar
were killed and John Powell, the pro-
prietor, was badly injured. Basines:
IN the town OF Plymouth is at a stand
still and a death pail hangs over tins
community. Several kegs of powder
caused the explosion, but how they
were exploded is as yet a mystery.

OBJECTIONS 10 the ballot reform bill
now before the Legislature on the
ground OF expense SAYS the Philadel-
phia Herald sound very odIy indeed.
The measure was in n,roduced by Mr..
Jesse NJ. Baker OF Delaware county on
January % last, and has for its purpose
the adoption of a form Of the "Austra-
lian system" OF voting. This system
can be best described and most highly
commanded by the very brief state
ment that by It fraud and intimidation
at elections are rendered almost impos-
sible. The system has been in force in
the Australian colonies Of England for
nearly thirty years, and has been since
adopted in great Britain, Canada,
Luxembourg and some of the States Of
this country. aud is everywhere received
with great satisfaction.
TAe Distinguishing feature Of the
Australian system is that by it ballots
are printed by public authority and at
public expense and are absolutely uni
form. They contain all the names Of
the candidates to be voted for the given
Office, the voter marking on the ballot
cross or other symbol opposite the name
OF the man of his choice. In the cleo
ton places are booths or stalls Just large
enough each for one man at time and
go arranged that no one but the voter
himself can see the marking which he
puts on his ballot. by this means, as
will readily be seen, absolute secrecy is
obtained, which is the thing TO be de-
sired. Bribery is not rendered impossi-
bic by it or even referred to but il is
made almost useless by the fact that
there is nothing to prevent the taker OF
the bribe from voting just as he sees fit
after having accepted money to do
otherwise. For the same reason intim-
idation, too, is almost impossible, and
in these two respects the system is worth
dozen statutes declaring penalties aud
punishments against electoral cUrrup-
ton.
In this view, therefore. it will be
seen that the objection on account
OF cost Is not worthy of an instant's con
sideration. No American is a full and
free citizen until he can have the privI-
lege of casting one ballot which shall
not be invalidated or nullihed by the
vote OF his neighbor who is for sale to
the higher bidder. The Australian
method is the only one devised which
comes as near as it does TO bringing
about this result. Let It come. Free
dom and citizenship are worth all they
/ cost.
