BISHOP STANLEY OF Jamestown, OAK,
IS taking a great interest in the Turtle
mountain Indians and has already made
visit to them. He describes them as
peaceable, quiet and of a disposition to
do what is right. But he says they are
almost absolutely without the comfort Of
life. The Indians will find warm heart
in Bishop Stanley who will not forget
to remind the government of it's duty in
this particular.

lKELAND's PATRON SAINT.

lkELANUS fAIAUM 0AlN /. 10y
We are on the eve of concentrating
the death of st. Patrick-Ireland's pa
tron saint. To Irishmen aud sons of
Ir1shmen throughout the world. this
feast is regarded as one of the first. It
is to st. Patrick that the people Of Ire
land and of Irish descent are indebted
for their religion. From the day that
this holy man undertook the task of con-
Meeting pagan Ireland to Christianity,
until the present day his name has been
revered and cherished. We can but i'm
agine, and barely at that, what a labori-
Gus task it was to attempt the conversion
of ireland at that time. Like all other
pagans, the Scots, as the Irish were then
called, had adopted form Of worship
known as Druidism. Trees, rivers,
mountains, the sun and moon, and all
the other heavenly bodies were worship
ped, and so close did the inhabitants
cling to this faith, that it was difficult
at times for st. Patrick to escape with
his life. But he was not to be defeated
by threats of vlolenae. He was deter
mined to accomplish the purpose of his
mission and he did so. There were
no schools there for the education of the
youth. no churches for the worship Of
the true God, no inconsistencies for the ed
ucation of priests and bishops, no asy-
lums for the care of the orphans, all was
a wilderness so far as the knowledge of
the true God was concerned. The rules
of the different tribes were pagans, and
the introduction of new religion which
taught pennanoe and obedience to Gods
laws, was naturally very distasteful to
them. But perseverance on st. Patrivk's
part overcame all these obstacles. Every.
where he went and preached, the people
were struck with his holy ways. They
saw thas he was more than human. He
was messenger from God, sent to preach
the gospel to them. Princes as we'll as
subjects listened to him with marked at
tention. He tasted, prayed, and worked
miracles. He travelled from the north to
the south and from the east to the west
instructing the people in the true
faith. Everywhere he went he founded
schools and colleges. He
showed the inhabitants how essential it
was to honor God above all things, and
how much their salvation depended on
their own exertions. The faith which st.
Patrick preached to the Irish some four
teen hundred years ago IS the same that
the people of Ireland at home aud in all
parts of the globe cherish so de arly to-
day. THAT faith was planted deep in the
soil and there it is to-day; there it lived
through centuries of oppression, and all
the power on earth could not extingulsh
it. The followers of that faith suffered
much for it's sake. and the sight of the
gibber and the rack had no fears for
Them. In St. Patrick's obedience to the
head of the church, in his humility and
love of prayer we have q noble example
TO initiate. Let the feast which we pro.
pose to commemorate on Monday be OBJ
served as it should and the IRISH Ca:ho-
lies Of Minnesota will have pleasant re-
of the day we love.

President Harrison IN staunton.

+N . ~
On Monday last a telegram was re
ceived at the Western Union Telegraph
Office for President Harrison, which was
the first intimation our citizens had that
the President would pass here on the
o'clock p. m. train, going west. Later,
the Baltimore papers brought the lnlor-
nation OF his visit, and those in the
party, consisted of Secretary Tracey,
Secretary Halford, Marshal Ransdell,
Capt. w. M. Meredith, and Mr.. G. Bishop,
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, in
charge of the party.
A large number of citizens assembled
at the depot, although the fact of the
President being in town was not gene
rally known, and when the cars came
in, hearty cheers were sent up in honor
of the Chief Magistrate OF the nation.
The President appeared on the plat
form, and a number of citizens awaited
of the opportunity to shake hands
with him. The colored band dis
coursed some excellent music on the oc:
casiOn. and u general desire was mani
tested to tender the President a cordial
welcome. Had it been known in time,
the Stonewall Brigade Band would have
been present, but not until the train
moved out was the fact communicated
to that organization.

need in Staunton more hotel accommo-
dations. a. hotelgof modern architec-
ture and all modern conveniences and
well conducted, would receive liberal
support. The hotels and boarding
houses of the city have been crowded
this simmer and fall, and number of
persons have passed us by because they
could not get such accommodations as
they desired. sNotsonly a new hotel, but
a large number of new residence build
ings ought to be erected. We have had
a dozen inquiries for houses Within the
past few weeks from persons desiring to
come here, but there are none vacant.

\ Terrific Explosion at the Coal
Mines Of Rippetoe and Wegner.
SIX MEN SERIOUSLY HURT.


On Friday last, while the hands were
at work on the Mcbride survey, about
IA miles west of Staunton, under the
direction OF Messrs. w. d. Rippetoe and
Harry Wegner, terrific explosion OF a
powder key occurred, which severely
injured six men. 1t seems the men had
retired to frame building near where
they are mining for anthracite coal to
await the discharge of a blast One Of
the men had picked up q piece OF fuse
and as he entered the house set match
to it and was holding it while it fixed
out. There was a key of powder
nearby in the house at the time and
spark from the fuse fell on it. A terri
BILE explosion took place. seriously, and
probably fatally, injuring Mr.. Fried
ley and Mr.. Payne, (colored), and pain
fully injuring two young Rippetoes,
nephews of Mr.. W. D. Rippetoe, and
Mr. Whalen, the boss at the mines.
A messenger was dispatched to Mr..
Wegner, who was at his home in Staun-
ton, informing him of the accident, and
as quick as possible he repaired to the
mines with the necessary bandages,
medicines, &c, for the relief of the suf-
fers. The clothing of several of the
men were ignited, and Mr.. Friedley. one
of them, in a sheet of flame, jumped
into the creek nearby and rolled in the
water to extinguish the fire. He is Sc
riously injured and his. condition very
critical

A New Industry.

er goods and wares made from clay, etc.,
to lay out the real estate of the compa-
ny into town lots, open streets, build wa
ter works, construct street car lines, to
contract for and build houses, etc. The
principal office of the company is to be
at Staunton and the officers for the first
year are: VIM. H. Norman, of Fort
Defiance, president E. A. Fulcher, of
Augusta, vice president T. Ashby War
den, OF Staunton. secretary; j. R. Lig-
gett, of Stanton, treasurer; the above
and J.. w. Splitter, w. w. Patterson, G.

Stuart Boiling, ]. H. Council, Augusta,
directors. The capital is to be not less
than $1O,09 nor more than $65,OOO, in
shares of 800 each. The base of ,oper-
atoms is the farm of Mr.. Cornell, on the
northwest border of the city, the clay OF
which has been severely and successful
~ tested in eastern furnaces. We be-
lievel this enterprise can be made a sue
cess if properly managed, of which we
have no doubt, from the character of the
gentlemen composing the company.

The tone of the market maintains its strength
and the feeling is one Of confidence not only in
active demand for all farm products, but bust
ness generally. Shipments of wheat for the
past week have increased over the week previ-

stiff maintenance of present quotations. We
