An Unfortunate ROOfer Instantly Killed BY
Contact with an Electric Wire.
New ORLEANS, Oct Another cleo
trio horror occurred yesterday on the
roof of the building at the corner OF
Camp and Gravier streets. Several tim
smiths were engaged in repairing the
roof of the gallery, which is made OF
tin. The roof was wet with dew and is
overhung by numerous electric wires
several of which were suspended direct
~ over the cutters. One of the work.
men, Joe Clements, twenty years OF
age, was engaged in cleaning out the
dirt which had accumulated in the gut
ter and stopped under a large cleo
trio light cable. He was not aware
that at this point the insulation
cover was worn of for dis
lance of about four feet, and the unfor-
tunate man, possibly cramped with his
STOPPING position, rose up and touched
the wire. To the horror OF the fellow
workmen who were on the roof with
him he fell in heap on the roof, gave
one or two convulsive shudders and was
dead. The ambulance was summoned.
There was no distortion Of the features
and no burns about the body. Mr..
Bemis, OF the Edison works, said that
not less than 1000 volts had passed
through the mans body. When the
body was examined q broad dark-col-
ored stripe was seen across the back,
Just below the shoulders, where the
fatal wire had touched him.

to the wcst-Grected by Crowds.
PRomA, Ill, Oct Yesterday was
ono OF ovations for the Chief Magistrate
of the Nation. Kentucky, Ohio and
Indiana 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 daylight
when the Presidents train passed
through Newport and Covington, but
the President was up and bowed his
Acknowledgements to the bustling, en-
thusiastic Kentuckians that crowded
the depots as the train passed through.
Cincinnati was reached at 7:3O o'clock
and here Hon. John C. New, Of Indian
apolis, United States Consul-General to
London, and Congressman C. II. Gros-
venor, OF Ohio, joined the party. De-
spite the early hour, several thousand
people gathered ut the Central depot to
greet the President, among the number
being his nephew, Archibald Eaton, OF
Cincinnati.
The principal event Of the day was
now to come, and 1t was all the more
interesting to the President that 1t was
not unwitnessed by the usual crowd
that gives birth only to the sentiment
OF exuberance. Near North Bend, O..
the old Harrison homestead was reached,
and the train came to stop just abreast
the house in which BENJAMIN Harrison
first saw the light and but
few yards from the white shaft
that marks the tomb Of his illus
trious ancestor, 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 by the rest OF the
party, who delicately left him to the
solemn memories that the scenes of his
childhood and youth called forth.
HARRISON AT TERRE HAUTE.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Oct Sat four
o'clock yesterday afternoon President
Harrison and party arrived here. While
passing through the railroad yards, To-
connective whistles and factory bells
seemed to compete with each other in
making the most noise as salute. The
crush was so great that platoon OF
police had great difficulty in keeping
passage way clear to the stand. After
the welcoming address by the mayor.
the President was loudly cheered and
made short speech.

CHAMPAIGN. Ill.,, Oct s-A large
crowd, including the students Of the
University of Illinois, received the Pre-

The President spoke briefly. After
leaving Champaign the train made no
further stops until Bloomington was
reached, at 9:1G o'clock.

REPUBLICAN, CONTENTION.

The Republican State Central Committee
met in Baltimore on Thursday of last week.
OF the contesting delegations from the city
the Henderson delegates were seated, who
make large majority of the committee anti
Administration.
Oakland was adopted as the place TO hold
the Congressional nominating convention
and August the 2lst as the time.
Thomas Hodson was elected chairman to
succeed Daniel Il Conkln, resigned
Resolutions were passed favorng the
tariff bill, supporting Reed and the election
bill and regretting the stigma and disgrace
Archer's embezzlement has left upon the
State and the ignorance and neglect of the
State officers"
The purport of the resolutions is brazen
impudence in keeping with the infamy of
the Republican party. To swallow all the
villainy committed by the Republican party
like it was creased, and then meet in con-
vention and denounce the Democratic par
~ because one member of it committed a
theft seems To us to be ridiculous enough for
the handful OF Republicans, (backed by a
par i of negroes, to laugh over to them
selves il their attempt to impose on the
guilibility of the people of the State.

Senator Germans Tariff Views.

Intimate personal friends OF Senator Cor.

a statement recently published throughout
the country to the effect that the senior Sen
ator from Maryland has undergone change

a time since he became prominent in poll
tics when he was not in thorough accord
with his party on the tariff and all other
important issues and subscriber 10 its de-
clarations. The subject was quite freely
discussed to-day between Senator German
and several Of his associates, and it is given
out that there is not member of the mi
nority who has any doubts about the quail
ty of Senator Germans democracy.

OUR PRESENT P0PULA TION

The supervisor of census for the Third
Census District of Maryland, which in
cluded the whole of the Sixth Congresson-
al District, has forwarded his completed re-
turns to Washington. That official states
that his enumerators did very careful,
prompt and accurate service, and the Super
intendent of Census paid him special com
pliment for the manner in which his work
was done. Following are the results in the
five counties composing this Congressional
District:
"Allegany county, 4l,362; Frederick, 49,
oO9; Garrett, 1897; Montgomery, 265O1; !;
Washington, 40,012; total, 170,751."
In 1880 the census returns gave Mont
gomery county population of 24,759. The
figures above given show gain of 1,742.
At first glance this may appear to be but
an inconsiderable gain in population for
county like ours in the period of ten years,
but when it is remembered that our popu-
lation increased but 1850 souls from 1890 to
1S70-a period of eighty years-the present
increase will not be considered at all discour-
aging. 1t is safe to assert that the greater
portion Of the increase shown has been
made within the last few years of the decade
and that the county is more rapidly increas-
ing in population at the present time than
at any other period in its history. It's only
Of late that the many attractions and ad
vantages OF Montgomery have been known
to the outside world, and our section is con
stantly growing in popularity with those
who are seeking the health and comforts
of the village and suburban homes.
The population OF Rockville, according
to the census returns, now lacks but two o
reaching 200 souls-agai of $40 over tht
census of 1880. AS these figures do not in
clude the large number of summer boarders
now sojourning in Rockville, the increase
shown may be considered fiattering, and
taken in connection with the fact that the
only "boom" in our history has but recent
ly struck the town, should not shake tht
confidence of those who believe that tht
county seat is slowly but surely climbing
to the dignity OF a great and populous city

Nasal Catarrh

is a dangerous disease. From its tendency to
extend TO the throat, bronchial tubes, and
finally to involve the lungs in consumptive
disease, it should be promptly cured, that
these grave dangers may be averted. So con-
fident are the manufacturers o. Dr.. Sage's

The Ominous Outlook and Rotatsas-Its
Only Remedy.

1t appears from statement of the First
Assistant Postmaster General that the mum
Der of postoffices in operation on July /,
1890, was 62,400, an increase of 9,358 since
$780, In ten years nearly 10000 new office
holders have been added TO the civil service
by the Postoffice Department alone. OF
course, the increase is much greater in this
than any other Department of the Govern
ment, but in all the Departments the max
ing of new offices goes steadily, if more
slowly, on. The salary of many fourth
class postmasters is only a trfle, but that
fact doesn't prevent their adding to the
strength of the Federal machine. The more
postmasters there are the harder il is for the
party in power to be turned out. Senator
Sawyer has. just brought in bill for the es
tablshment of postal telegraph. We Won

The Grangers in the West are asking for
Government control of the railroads. Ac-
cordng to "Poor's Manual for 1885," there
were in that year $4,000 persons in the
employ of railroads. Government control OF
railroads would mean, at the start, an army
of more than one million officehoders, and
the number would increase rapidly every
year. This would be pretty sort of free
government to live in if the officeholders
were to be counted by millions. Observe,
moreover, that the advocates of the nation
alization of the railroads and telegraph lines
insist upon civil service reform. The stand
ing army of officeholders is to serve for life
or till each man gets pension. The Demo-
cratic rule is the safe one: AS few offices as
possible, and rotation in office,-N Y. Sun

Throughout the country a strong senti-
ment is developing against the passage of the
election bill pending in Congress. 1t is
crying out in the North, South, East and
West, by business men, Republicans and
negroes. The commercial South is think

upon what course to pursue in case the
