Rauid Transit to Matrimony.

7. j. Munson, living few miles from
here in La Crosse county, should be cred
tied with one of the shortest courtships
on record. Last week he went to see
the sights, and while eating dinner at
one of the restaurants was smitten with
the waiter girl, whom he engaged in con-
versation. In few minutes they were
friends, in an hour lovers, and before
sundown were man and wife, he return
ing Saturday night with his bride, hav-
ing been gone from home but three days.

Tariff Sophistries Presented to the Ohioans
by Major Mckinley.
M1LLERsBuRa, O., Oct. 7.-Congressman
Mckinley opened his campaign in the Six
teenth district here this evening. This is
the county seat of Holmes county, one OF
the democratic strongholds added to his
district by the gerrymander passed last
winter. The major was greeted by fine
audience. He spoke briefly of the gerry
m snder, aud devoted most of his remarks
to a discussion of the tariff. In the course
of his remarks he said that there is not an
item upon which protective duties have
been laid that has not been reduced in price
to the people who buy it. The republican
party fifteen years ago gave the country
free coffee and tea, and has now given it
free sugar. We have as result free, un-
taxed breakfast table. The duties under
this bill are lower those of any bill since
1861. We have reduced the duties wherever
it would not interfere with or injure home
industry, and have increased it only where
our interests demanded. The duties on
wool all have been made protective. II in
1888 you farmers of Ohio defeated the re-
publican party for reduction in the wool
tariff, as the democrats then claimed, it is
your duty now to vote for it for the repub-
lican party has not only restored the duty
of 1863, but made it stronger by high tar
if on all substitutes for wool. The Amerl-
can market IL the best in the world, and
it has been made 80, and can be maintained
90, only by protection. They say we have

NORTH VERNON, Oct. To day has been
one of ovations for the chief magistrate of
the nation. Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio
have joined in doing him homage, and in
the land of Dixie the greeting was no less
warm than in the native state of President
Harrison. 1t was hardly more than day
break when the presidential train passed
through Newport and Covington, but the
president was up and bowed acknowledge
ments to the bustling, enthusiastic Ken
tuckians that crowded the depots as the
train went through. Cincinnati was reached
at 1880 a. m. Despite the early hour several
thousand people gathered at the Central
station to greet the president. At eight
o'clock the train left. Near North
Bend, Ohio, the old Harrison
homestead was reached and the
train came to a stop just about in front of
the house IN which Benjamin Harrison first
saw the light of day. and but few yards
from the white shaft that marks the tomb
of his illustrious ancestor. Ex- President
William Henry Harrison. The occasion was
not one for words, and as the president
passed to the rear of the platform he was
unaccompanied. The rest of the party del
icately left him to the solemn memories
that the scenes of his childhood and youth
called forth. After a brief stop the train
passed on, but the president was visiblv
affected BY the sights that brought SO many
tender memories to his mind, and when
the little town of Lawrenceburg was reached
his voice was heavy with emotion as he ad-
dressed the crowd of neighbors and friends
that thronged to greet him.
Washington, Indiana, quickly dem on
strated that the village, which was reached
at one p. M, had many old friends of the
president. An old gray-haired man bowed
his way sturdily through the crowd to the
president and grasping his hand said. "How
are ye, Ben? am glad to see ye. I voted
for your grandfather, and then voted for
you, and hope, Ben, I'll have chance
to vote for you again. You don't mind if I
call you Ben?' Great laughter from the
crowd. The president assured his visitor
that to his old friends he hoped always to
remain Benz as of yore, and the crowd
loudly applauded the sentiment. This en-
couraged an old lady to exclaim. as she
grasped the presidents hand, II feel as
though am related to you. Mr.. Harrison.
Your grandfather and mine ate roast turkey
and pig together and that makes us related,
don't it?" Great laughter.] The presi-
dent bowed affirmation to this logic and the
train moved rapidly out.

DUPONT POWDER MILLS.

They Blow Up with Frixhtful Rssults-
Many Workmen Blown to Atoms.
WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 7.-Several start
ling explosions in quick succession at $50
p. m. announced to Wilmington the disas-
ter to the Dupont Powder works on the
Brandywine. A rush was made for tele-
phones, but nothing could be learned be-
yond vague reports Of damage. Later the
news was received that the first explosion
occurred in one of the packing mills, where
workman named Grau was receiving q
can of hexagonal powder to be shipped for
the use of the United States government.
In some way spark was communicated to
the can and it blew up. Instantly the
packing mill exploded, and the other mills
in the upper yards, seven or eight in
number. followed at intervals of less
than one second. All these except one
were rolling mills, in which the ingredients
of gunpowder are pulverized by vertical
rollers of stone turning slowly around 9
center post. Immediately after the explo-
sion, the large building known as the re-
tinery, located near the center of the vii
lage, took fire. 1t was a matter of life and
should be extinguished before it communi-
Gated with the powder the building con-
tanned. The Dupont fire brigade succeeded
in extingnishing the flames. Had the roof
fallen in it is doubtful if any man, woman
or child in the vicinity would have escaped
death or serious injury. About fifty fam
lilies are rendered homeless by the disaster.
There are some fifty houses inhabited by
employees of powder mills clustered here
and there at the scene of
the explosion and all are wrecked.
The damage to property can
not be thoroughly estimated tonight. The
force of the concussion even broke win
dows in some parts of Wilmington, four
or five miles away. The following is par
tial list of the killed: Martin Dolan, James
Dolan. William McGarvey, John Martygan,
William Dennison, John Dietz, Thomas
Hurlike, John Hurlike, Patrick Dougherty,
John Newall, William Green and woman
named Rose Dougherty. Several others
are missing.
The more seriously injured, as far as
learned, are Daniel Harkins. William Lo-
gym, Annie and Marie Dolan, James Wards,
Hugh Ferry, John McDougall, Mrs. Viii
liam Mcdowell. her two-year.old daughter
and Lydia Anderson. The Office OF the Du-f

and broken glass, but none of them SER
