Dead Torn from Their Graves.

The Polish church war at Plymouth,
Pa, of which mention was made last
week, has again been renewed. The
other day Martin Wilkes, leader of
the Polish faction, was arrested while
on a business visit to Wilkesbarre.
When the Polish faction heard of the
fate of their leader they called a meet
ing and raised S400 to employ a law
yer to get him out of Jail. When court
assembled the prisoner was released
on habeas corpus. As soon as Wilkes
was released and left the court room
he swore vengeance against the Llth-
uanians. He said all the dead Llthu-
anians now buried in the Polish Gem
etery would be taken out and their
bones scattered to the winds. When
Wilkes reached his home in Plymouth
he at once proceeded TO carry out his
threats. He summoned about twenty
of his most devoted followers, and
arming themselves with shovels and
pick-axes the party left for the Gene
terry. Arriving there they opened the
graves of two Lithuanian children
buried the day before. The collins
were broken open with pick-aXe, and
the bodies thrown over the fence into
an adjoining field. One of the bodies
was badly Iacerated. The pick axes
had been driven through it in several
places. AS soon as the grave robbers
had completed their nefarious work
they fled. The eXhumed bodies We're
afterward placed in a rough box and
are now in the cellar of a house near
the cemetery. The Lithuanians are
cunning for Wilkes. They say they
will shoot him on sight.

Death of a Great Circus Man.

Adam Forepaugh, the veteran
Snowman, died at his home in Phlla-
delphia last Thursday morning OF
pneumonia, following an attack OF
the grip. He was nearly GO years OF
age, and leaves a widow and one son,
Adam Forepaugh, Jr., who has been
associated with him in circus enter
prises. Mr. Forepaugh was born in
Philadelphia February 20, 1880. His
education was neglected, and from
the age of nine years he worked foI
his living, at first as butchers boy,
the West. When he had accumula-
ted small fortune he returned and
became a dealer in horses there and
in New York. In 1864 he sold forty
four horses to a circus proprietor, and
took all interest in the show as pay
ment. From that time on he has
been engaged in the business con-
stantly, rivaling Barnum in the mag
nitude of his undertakings. His first
circus was known as Dan Rice's, but
since 1867 the shows have been under
his own name. He has been very
prosperous, and has accumulated real
estate estimated TO be worth half a
million dollars. A few days ago it
was reported that an English syndi-
cate had secured an interest i'll Fore
paugh's circus, which had been CAPT
tailed at S5,0O0,000. The story was
not credited, though Mr.. Forepaugh
himself said, There will be no more
Forepaugh's circus" Adam Fore
paugh. Jr., is an elephant trainer of
distinction, and is expected to con-
tinue in his fathers footsteps.

Mr.. Cleveland and 1892.

Morrison Mumford, editor Of the
Kansas City Times, called on EXPIRES
ident Cleveland in New York last
week and found him as earnest as
ever in the cause of tariff reform and
gratified at the interest which the
people are taking in the subject. In
reply to a suggestion that the demo-
cratic party was looking to Mr.. Cleve-
land as its leader in 1892 the eX-Presi-
dent said : LAS to that it is the cause
and rot personal considerations that
should concern Us. L am so well
situated now that if | consulted my

who have elements of leadership de-
velop rapidly and it is a long time

but of principles. 1t would be pity
not to carry forward the work which
the party has so grandly inaugural
ed, and there ought to be no halt I'M

and the people are in full possession

into existence by apathy on one side

What a Cigarette Did.

For some weeks one hundred labor
ers have been at work trying TO dig
down a small mountain in Wilkes
county, n. c., and make a cut through
it for the Wilkesboro extension OF the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail
road Several days ago they began
TO drill a large hole into a rock for
the purpose of blowing it up with
giant powder. Wednesday they com
pleted that work and soon had two
full kegs of powder packed into the
rock. George Hendly was adjusting
the fuse and at the same time care
lessly putting away on cigarette
He was almost ready TO touch fire to
the end-of the fuse and the other la
borers were preparing to run when Il
spark dropped from Hendly's cigar
cite and ignited the powder, which IN
an instant sent up an explosion which
Jared the earth for miles around.
The rock was sent dashing up in a
thousand pieces and an entire side OF
the mountain was blown up. Several
men were sent whirling skyward by
pieces of the broken rock, and falling
they were soon buried by dropping
earth. Some were knocked to the
ground and killed by rocks or dirt
falling upon them and others escaped
without any injury. 1t was some
twenty minutes after the explosion
before the smoke passed away, and
the agonizing cries of the dying were
painful in the extreme. Some men
were found with large rock upon a
leg which was crushed into the ground
and others partially buried by drop.
ping dirt When those who escaped
nnhurt got to work digging out the
dead it was found that five had been
killed and thirteen wounded.

A Farmers Trust that Seems Successful.

The farmers are deriving great ben
eft from the alliance. 1t has saved
them in Georgia alone 100000 in a
single year on the purchase of fertili-
Zers. Ii has lowered the cost of every
article they use, food, clothing, farm
implements. wagons, buggies, and
even the few luXuries that Georgia
farmers have been able to enjoy. 1t
has taught the farmers the use of the
most powerful weapon in the strug-
giles of peace or war-co-operatio
Divided, they were the easy prey of
the monopolists and trusts but united
in a phalanX 10000 900, with one ring
resting on the shores of Maine, the
other on the Pacific coast, the farm
ers have become a power. They are
the people. and they must rule. The
membership is steadily increasing,
and its field of usefulness steadily
broadening. Our reports from the
South Carolina Alliance is particularly
encouraging The order is making
rapid progress in that State and has,
as the Georgia Alliance, a settled pol
icy of uplifting the people and pro-
tecting them from the designs of mo-
nopolies and trusts. The alliance has
a good work before it. 1t has accom-
plished much, but it has much more
to accomplish. Fortunately for the
people, it has the courage and the
ability to wage war successfully and
to fulfill its mission.-1tldnta (Gd.)

Five Strong Points Of S. S. S.

First. 1t is entirely vegetable, con
tains no minerals or poison Of any
kind, and builds up the system from
the first dose.
Second 1t cures Cancer Of the
Skin. No other remedy or treatment
has ever cured it.
Third 1t cures Hereditary Blood
faint, even in the third and fourth
generation. No other remedy has
ever done it.
Fourth 1t has never failed to Grad
icate Scrofula from the system.
Fifth 1t cures Contagious Blood
Poison in all its stages by eliminating
the horrible virus from the system,
thus giving relief from all the conse-
uuences of this bane of the human
family.
S. 5. S. builds up the general health
of the patient, instead of pulling ii
down, as is the case with the Mercu-
nv, Potash and old Saraparilla mix
lures. 1t is harmless to the most del
icate woman or child, yet such is its
healing power that it searches out the
poison in the blood and roots it out
entirely, thus giving nature an oppor-
tunity TO assert itself, and as conse-
quence the general health is rapidly
improved, and the cure Is effected.
We have an interesting treatise on
Blood and Skin Disease which we will
mail free to those who will send US
their address.

The Eighth Wonder Found.

The eighth wonder Of the world has
been found. Living about twenty
miles from Columbia, s. c., is an aged
lady who for the last forty years has
had snake in her left upper arm.
When first noticed, forty years ago, it
was very small, but ii has now grown
to be about one foot in length. ,
1t lies in a U-shape, with the tail
and head pointing to the elbow. 1t
is just beneath the skin and can be
plainly seen. The head and eyes can
be clearly distinguished and the pull
sations of its heart felt. The scales
of the snake can also be felt and
when much disturbed n slight move
ment can be seen about the head and
tail.
The possessor of the strange pet has
always been unwilling to have the
serpent cut out, but has consented
to allow it to be done after death.
How the snake ever found its home
in such n place is not known, but it is
known that the lady was bitten by a
snake about forty years ago.

Farmers Should be Protected Too.

J. II. Brigham, of Delta, Ohio, a
worthy master Of the National Grange
of the Patrons of Husbandry, APP
peared before the ways and means
committee at Washington last week.
He stated that the organization
which he represented was composed
of men of every shade of political be
lief. They differed on the question OF
protection and free trade, but they
were substantially agreed that what
ever policy might be adopted for
other Industries and interests should
be applied to agriculture. If the
manufacturers were TO be protected
the farmers should also be protected.
Whatever protection could be ac-
corded to agriculture ought to be
given. He asked for the imposition
of the following duties on farm pro-
ducts: Barley, % cents bushel; bar
ley malt, 30 cents bushel; beans, %
cents bushel; peas, % cents n
bushel hops, - cents bushel pota-
toes, - cents bushel hay, "a ton
hides, 10 per cent. adj valorem eggs,
cents a dozen; apples, % cents a
bushel. He thought that adequate
protection should also be given to
raw silk and live animals, but could
not give the exact duty that should
be imposed

Six Killed, Twenty Hurt.

Passenger train No. l, on the Louis
Vile, New Albany and Chicago Rail
way, which left Chicago Sunday night
at i1.55, was wrecked Monday morn-
ing at Z so one mile above Carmel, a
village Is miles north of Indianapolis,
Ind. The train was running at rap
id rate and was approaching the long
trestle across Wilkerson creek, when
the tender of the engine jumped the
track. The engineer reversed his ell
CINE, but before the air brake could
check the speed Of the train the loco
motive and baggage car had cleared
the trestle, but the four coaches at
tached went over into the creek The
ladies' coach Immediately caught fire,
and in an incredibly short time was
reduced to ashes.
Fortunately for the occupants OF
this coach, train No. 2 had been or
dered to meet train No. l at Carmel,
and as soon as word of the wreck was
received the passengers hurried to the
scene and went earnestly TO work res
cuing the occupants OF the burning
car. a horrible scene met their eyes.
In plain view of all were two boys and
woman All were dead, but their
bodies were being rapidly consumed.
The arm of one projected through the
side of the car and could be touched
by those on the outside, but the open
ing was not large enough to draw the
body through. Immediately in front
OF the boy was lady who got on the
train at Frankfort, unidentified. Her
body was enveloped in flames, but
there was no possible way to get her
out of the burning coach. Across
from this lady was Mrs. Eubanks, OF
Broad Ripple, Ind. Her head was
horribly crushed The brakeman ard
u passenger seized her by the arms
and by desperate effort pulled the
body through the window. Life was
not vet extinct, but she lived only u
few minutes after being taken out.
Another Of the rescued, but who has
since died, was Mr.. Deming, of Sherl-
dan. He was pinioned TO the floor by
timbers and horribly crushed. Some
heroic men seized axes, and after a
few minutes work cut away the TIM
bers that held the body, which was
removed to the north side OF the track.
There was nomedical aid present and
the man died in a few moments.
Buckets having been procured from
the farmhouses near by, the flames
were soon subdued and prevented
from communicating to the sleeper or
other coaches. As soon as it was pos
sible to do so a search was made for
the dead. The body of a woman,
identified as Mrs. Lizzie Fitzpatrick,
was soon found. 1t was burnt to a
crisp. The Oldham children We're
found side by side, the heavy stove
lying across their bodies. In all, six
persons were killed and twenty hurt.

A Blood Sucking Sect.

A new religious sect has gained a
foothold in the territory adjacent to
the Blue river, just east of Kansas
City, Mo. According to the reports,
the practices of the sect were
founded upon the biblical injunction
to do good to the sick, but the sect
has degenerated into band of blood
suckers About year ago there APP
peared in that neighborhood a man
named Wilcox who openly advocated
the drinking of blood for all diseases,
giving as authority for such action
the fact that the Bible taught that
the blood was the life. At the home
of John Wrinkle have been found two
emaciated children. On the bed lay
Wrinkle, who was apparently in the
last stages of consumption. The
limbs of the children were covered
with sears, showing plainly the effects
of the bleeding. Wrinkle acknowl-
edged that the children had willingly
given their blood TO restore him 10
health. The man was in such con
dition that he could not be moved,
but the children were taken from the
house and placed in the Children ;
Home. 1t appears there is no law
which covers the case and nothing
can be done
