Fatally Gored By A Bull.

CHESTER, Pa, Aug, "a firghttul
accident happened to William Boyd, son
of Robert Boyd, OF Tinicum, last Friday.
Young Boyd is strong and powerful
fellow, over six feet high and weighs 217
hounds. He was driving the COWS out
from the barDyard after they had been
MIXED, and an imported Alderney bull
ATTEMPTED to break through the openig
into the milking pen. Youn Boyd seized
a heavy stick and began beating the
animal which became very much in
furiated and made rush for the young
man.
The bull seized him with his horns and
tossed him high into the air. Again and
AGAIN was he treated in this manner, each
time his injuries becoming NOR serious.
Finally, as he lay unconscious and bleed
ing on the ground, the mad bull charged
on him and gored his body. The bull
was finally forced to retreat by two gun
shot wounds from farm hand. Drs.
Johnston and Morton were hastily sum
moned and made an examination of
Boyd's injuries. His stomach was ripped
open to the inner covering. One horn
entered the left hip, entering cleanto the
socket, Three ribs were broken, and
very dangerous "ouhu wac i''o' "
the mans loins.
At later accounts young Boyd was
still alive, but no hopes are entertained
for his recovery. A week ago the large
barn on the Boyd place was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground. A
few days previous to that Mrs. Boyd,
mother of the injured son, fell down
stairs and broke her arm. The triple
affliction has almost Frustrated the men,
bers of the family. Young Boyd is but
% years old, is married and has several
children. He has held several public
offices of trust, and at present is Assessor
and Tax Collector for Tinicum township.
His strong constitution is point in his
favor toward recovery, but this is hardly
| looked for.

Mr.. Barnes Compton, chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, following the example OF his party
associates who WELD the editorial pen,
has sounded his slogan cry to the
Democratic clans Throughout the State
in the shape of lugubrious address,
which is chiefly distinguished for its
serio- comic appeal to the fears OF his
followers, and the too apparent mental
distress of its author, that all is not
we'll with the Democratic party either
in nation or state. According to Mr..
Compton elderly hangs trembling in
the balance" and the "ghastly night
mare of the fabric of our government
careering upon the precipice of ruin
stares US in the face. Q
Mr.. Compton is evidently suffering
fromthe effects of a torpid liver, elslhad
his disordered vision, never pictured
such doom Of disaster.
And all this because the Democratic
party has lost its ascendancy in the ma
ton, and is threatened with what it
deserves through its weak and imbecile
administration of State affairs, the loss
of power in Maryland.
But as one of our exchanges smil-
ingly observes, "The fate of the nation
does not tremble in the balance. The
liberty bird of America disdalnfully flops
his wings at the "Force" bill. Uncle
Sam, the titular patron saint of this
glorious hemisphere, is still upon the
ramparts of freedom daring the mlnions
of despotism to tread on his coat-tails.
Columbia. the immaculate queen of
nations, is still famed by the sweet
zephyrs of an ever-Ioyal patriotism.
Get you to your liver regulator Mr..
Compton.

The Philadelphia Press IS sending a
staff correspondent through the South
to gather and report local sentiment III
both parties with respect to the Federal
Election Supervisors bill. The first
letter OF the correspondent was written
from Richmond and contained the
views of prominent Republicans and
Democrats.
Colonel Frank G. Rufin, Second
Auditor of the State of Virginia. Demo
Graf, uttered this sentiment:
Il think l may safely say that l for
mulate the opinion OF nineteen-twen-
tieths of the white voters of Virginia
when l say that any white Democrat in
a black state who could buy or intimi-
date a black voter and compel him to
vote against the Northern Republicans,
and who refuses to do so deserves to
be hung"
And this is the class Of political bar,
barlans that controls the destinies of the
South, that manufactures majorities out
of minorities, that suppresses the votes
of whites and blacks who are not in
political sympathy with them and who
cry out "negro supremacy" as soon as
an effort is made for honest elections.

missed their end through ignorance.
Prices will not rise SO long as the gold
standard is maintained.
MIR. Giflen admits, however, that the
other object-a rise in the value OF
silver-is being attained. Gle believe .,
nevertheless, that the rise will be only
temporary. and thinks even the present
rise to some extent nominal, forming
part of the general rise of prices in gold
incidental to a period of good credit.
So far as it is not nominal, what the
owners of silver and silver mines gain
the rest of the world lose. He looks
forward in any case to grave monetary
troubles arising out of the attempt tC
make gold and silver both a standard
"a thing that is impossible" and warn:
the people of the United States thai
they are running most serious risk O
financial disaster.

One step towards the righting of that
stupendous wrong, the murder of John
M. Clayton, has been taken by Con-
gress in the unseatlng of the man who
seeks to profit by this crime-Mr. C..
r. Breckenridge.
That murder OF John Nj. Clayton
forcibly says the Philadelphia Ledger
will not out. Ii is what the illustrlous
poet and apostle of equal and exact
justice among all men brands as a
damned spot. The impunity of the
ballot-box burglars, and the IMMUNITY
of the murderers, and the wretched
sham of the pretence of desire on the
part of the public authorities of Ar
kansas TO pursue and capture the crimi-
nals-would be ridiculous if the crimes
were not so atroclouS.
Suppose the ballot-box showing the
election of Mr.. Breckenridge had been
the one upon which that rape and out
rageous fraud had been committed
Suppose that fraud with others had
thrown Mr.. Breckenridge into the posi-
ton of contestant, and that he, while
engaged in making up his case as
conestant, had been deliberately muir
dered from an ambush? What swift
retrlbution would have pursued the das-
tardly acts. How like the lightning
stroke would have been the course of
that Arkansas justice which pursues and
kills the vlolators of the law, and the
perpetrators of outrage when it suits
There would have been no federation
of the laws delay in that case.
How the claim of chivalry pales and
fades out of sight in view of the history
of the atrocious frauds by which John
M. Clayton was cheated out of his
Congressional commission, and of the
dastaNly and cruel manner by which
he was deprived Of the power to pre-
sent and prosecute his title by sitting
his voice in the grave NobleSSe or
lice. There was chivalry once-even
IN Arkansas-that would have declined
commission stained as this one, by
ohlch Mr.. Breckenridge has hitherto
held his seat in this Congress, which,
In case like this, would have instantly
said II do not believe l was returned
by fraud ; but, as my competitor has
been killed by men charged as being
my abettors, l resign and ask that
another election be called, protected
by all the fair and legal safeguards my
opponents may ask" And there was
once-and still is in some places-an
instructive public sense of the chivalry
of fair play among the people that
would imperatively demand, under such
circumstances, such resignation.
No such ''chivalry' or sense of right
has been manifested in this instance,
either by Mr.. Breckenridge of his party
constituents. Can they wonder that
men who are otherwise fair and reason
able in their politics are willing to form
stringent Federal Election laws to cope
with such unpublished and unexcused
wrongs.

He Works an Atlantic City Hotel-Keepe
and a Number of Merchants.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August A
youthful dead beat, who was registered
at the Stockton few days ago as John
Collins, of Grafton, w. Va, today duped
the hotel people and number of bust
ness men around town. He is apparently
not over fourteen years of age, and on his
arrival at the Stockton he handed the
chief clerk letter purporting to be from
his father, which requested that the boy
be taken care of until he could join him,
and that he be furnished with any small
change he needed. The young scoundrel
was assigned to s25 room and treated
like lord, his repeated calls for cash
being promptly met at the hotel office
He used the letter which was SO potent
at the hotel, with an equally agreeable
result among storekeepers and others, all
of whom now mourn his departure.
Last night he hired bicycle, and has
not since been heard from. 1t is sup
posed that he left on an early train this
morning, having previously disposed OF
the bicycle, and that he is now operating
in Long Branch. A description of the
clever young swindler tallies exactly with
that of a boy named George Sheppard,
who recently worked similar successful
beat at the Girard House.

MIR. Robert Giffen, perhaps the first
of living English statistlcians, contri-
butes to the August "Nineteenth Cen
fury" an elaborate paper on "The
American Silver Bubble" The title
sufficiently shows what view Mr.. Gifen
takes of the recent silver legislation.
He expresses, however, many interest
ing opinions, and ventures on some
predictions. He asks whether the soft
money party in the United Ssstes9nd

or ase- likely to secure their two in
consistent objects, imitation and raising
the price OF silver. They have failed
in the first, insists Mr.. Giffen. He says :
"There can be no initiation all at once.
The silver notes to be issued will have
exactly the same sort of uses as the
silver certificates now IN circulation
no more and no less. So long as the
quantity of notes issued IS strictly limi-
ted, and the Government receives them
freely for taxes and dues, and pays
them out only in exchange for the
equivalent of gold, they will remain on
a level with gold. That they nomin.
ally represent silver is of no conse.
quence whatever. They will really BIZ

India and British Wheat Prospects

A foreign correspondent telegraphs /:
"The Revenue and Agricultural Depart
ment of the Government of India have
issued final memorandum, dated
Simila, June 80, 1890, on the wheat
crop of 1850 90, based on the final
provincial reports already issued. The
memorandum observes that throughout
the wheat growing area the rainfalls
seems to have been both sufficient and
timely up to August or September, after
which there was little or no rain, except
in March or April, when it was too late
to benefit the crops. When the sowings
commenced the soil was unusually dry,
and was insufhciently moist when the
crop was ripening. The sole exceptions
to the above conditions were Bombay
and Karnatha, which had heavy winter
rains, and Scinde, where the inundation
of the Indus was extremely favorable.
A comparison with the averages for the
five years ending ISSS-S9 shows fall
ing off both IN area and yield in every
province excepting Scinde and Bengal.
| The latter is remarkable in exhibiting
smaller acreage but larger yield than
normal. Taking India as whole, there
is decrease IN area of 10000 acres,
or 5.74 per cent, and in outturn of 955-
900 tons, or 1916 per cent.
GAS regards the condition of the
stocks and probable exports, it is re-
marked that generally speaking the
stocks are not specially abundant any,
where. No serious deficiency, how
ever, is reported from any province.
On the whole, it will be safe not to ex-
pect larger export, but there is no
reason to fear further serious falling off.
The ton mentioned in this report is
81 bushels of 60 pounds each.
''The weather in England for the
past fortnight has been favorable for

for two weeks more fair crop may be
expected. If the weather should be
