Three superstitions Negroes Del

Three SuperstitiODs Negroes Deiib-
erateiy Court n Horrible Death.
B1aMlNaHAM, Ala, Aug. IS. The most
remarkable religions craze has seizsd the
negroes near Bessemer and the country
intermediate between that place and Bir-
minghan. For some tims past Tobias
jackson, an old negro, has been pro-
claiming himself as "Daniel the Prophet"
and doing all kinds of wild and queer
things.
On Saturday last he persuaded three
young negro men that they were repre-
sentatives of Shadraeh, Meshaoh and
Abednego. He claimed that furnace
where iron is melted and cast into all
kinds of forms was the furnace of Nebu-
ohadnezsar, and, that they should enter
it and pass through without the smell of
FIRE.
The three negroes, under the influence
OF their new prophet, deliberately en-
tered the gate Of the cupola OF the fur
mace and rushed hsadlong into the white
heat of the melting iron. When they
failed to come out, jackson, the prophet,
proclaimed that he saw them rising in the
air with the smoke Of the furnace, at
tended by angels, and said that they would
revisit the earth next Sunday. The me-
groes propose to meet at church next
Sunday and pray while awaiting the de-
scent Of the three children of Israel.
The mother OF one OF them said that
she felt sure her boy was in heaven.

CLAN-NA.GAEL PICNIC.


The $4,000 Proceeds 10 he Used i'm
Prosecuting CrOnin,s Murdefers.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-Ths Clan-na,
Gael OF Philadelphia gave the largest
picnic in the history of the organization
yesterday. 1t is estimated that $4,000
people paid an admission fee of 50 cents
each. The entire proceeds are to be
devoted TO fund for securing the arrest
and conviction OF the murderers Of DR..
Oronin.
The enormous turnout sets at rest all
stories of sympathy of the Philadelphia
Clan-ns Gael with the assassination of
DR.. Cronin. DIR. Peter MuUahey, who
was the murdered mans intimate friend
and associate, was the most active man
in getting up the demonstration. 1t is
estimated that the picnic will net $40, 900
for the fund. There we're number OF
prominent Irish Americans present from
other cities. The Caledonian Society OF
this city also sent committee of nine to
represent the societies.
There was an elaborate programme of
Irish games. II was expected that the
tug OF war would be the most exciting
but when it came to the deciding heat
the Napier Tandy team conceded the
contest to the Thomas Davis team. In
the five mile foot race the element OF ex-
oitement was the plucky race made by IA,
| years-old James McManemin of Atlantic
City, who outran three adult professionals
and came in fourth. He did not secure
place, but generous purse was raised
for him by the enthusiastic spectators.

IsDIAEApoL1s, IND Aug. l3.-The con-
gregadon of Mount Zion Baptist Church
WAS in court yesterday for having par.
tieipated in q general fight inside the
church. There has been trouble over
the pastor, Elder Morton, for some time
the congregation being about equally al
vided in opposing and supporting him.
He was looked out of the church at the
direction of the trustees and this pro-
voked threats Of violence from his fol
lowers, but with view to bringing about
an adjustment OF the difficulties the elder
was Induced to tender his resignation.
Elder Williams was brought to the
church as his successor. One OF the
deacons declared that he should not
occupy the pulpit. The elder replied
that he proposed to preach the gospel il
he had to fight. With this the row began.
The PASTORS nose was smashed and q
general knock down followed; several OF
the brethren were badly disfgured.
The contending factions swore out
warrants for the arrest OF each other on
charges of assault and battery and dis

CHESTER, Aug. 13.--Tt ia stated upon
good authority that the large works at
Thurlow, below this city, lately operated
by the Chester Oil Company, have passed
into the control Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, and that work will be resumed
there within a few weeks. The Chester
Oil Company of Philadelphia, built the
establishment In 1881 and equipped IL
with the most improved appliances for
refining oil. The works became so Inn
portant that a government signal station
was established there few years ago.
Last winter the company decided to move
the plant to Bayonne, N. j., and all
the machinery and movable property was
taken there. The industry employed
about 400 hands and the resumption Of
work will be Of immense benefit to tho
southern section OF this city. .

"There ia an epidemic Of crime In
South Carolina, which seemingly is one
result of the amazing verdict rendered
in the McDow case," says the New York
Tribune. Merely stopping to remind the
Tribune that that amazing verdict was
rendered by jury made up Of seven
negroes and Ave whites, it is interesting
to note what constitutes an epidemic OF
crime" measured by itH standard. 1t
amounts to dozen shooting or cutting
ARRAYS, several of them terminating
fatally, scattered over the whole state Of
South Carolina and week Of time; an
average Of barely two per day. Even
this showing is indefui.e and probably
exaggerated, but, admitting it's truth,
would two shooting and cutting ARRAYS
per day among population of over one
million, dispersed over corresponding
area Of northern territory, be regarded
by the Tribune IS constituting "an cpl
demic of crime2"

The Republicans of Pennsylvania, in
stote convention assembled last week
set forth that: Protection is the corner
stone of our political faith. It's greatest
blessing is that in protecting the Ameri-
can laborer and manufacturer it
strengthens and builds up all interests,
resulting in the promotion of business
enterprises and home market"
One year ago there was an excursion Of
coal miners to indianapolis, there to
greet the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. Among the banners car
ried by these miners was one which bore
the words: Protection and Plenty"
On another was inscribed: "Free Trade
and starvation"
In addressing General Harrison the
spokesman for the excursionists said:
"This visit ia made for the purpose of
atteating our devotion to the great princi-
Piles of a protective tariff. These men
want suoh policy adopted as will enrich
US rather than that other policy which
tends to the pauperism and destitution Of
our people,"
The newspapers OF last Sunday week
contained the following in their telegraph
columns:
CHICAGO, July 27.-Mayor Cregier and
the Chicago miners relief committee dis
trlbured 80 tons OF provisions and 81 500
In cash yesterday among the suffering
strikers OF La Sale and Spring Valley. The
whole hungry population OF the two towns
turned out 10 welcome the visitors, but IL
was the sight OF carloads of fOoa which
gladdened their hearts. The relief corps
found that the coal company at Spring
Valley own about 500 houses, occupied by
the strikers, and that many OF the tenants
have been given Ave days notice to get out
on penalty OF eviction. Two thousand
starving men, women and children bare
footed, bareheaded and almost naked, met
the committee at the Spring Valley depot,
and 500 in the same deplorable condition
greeted the arrival OF the relief train al
La Sale. A portion OF the money contrtou-
ton Will be applied to the payment OF rent
Tor the Spring Valley colliets, who are
threatened with eviction by the sheriff
Next week another trainload OF provision.
will be made UP for distribution among the
Streator miners.
Recent impartial investigation among
these starving miners. We are told, shows
that the average price for mining Goa
was II cents per ton; that the average
wages per month was $685. that the
married men had to pay IS or more pei
month for house rent and to make theii
purchases al the stores owned by thei
employers, and that every strike amont
them has been the signal for fresh i'm
portation of Italians or Slovscks.
Why has not ''protection" saved thes,
miners from dastitution ? Why did no
protection" stand between the workmei
in Carnegie's Homestead mills and thei
i recent cut in wages? Why has not "pro
