THE FIGHTS AT THE PRIMARIES.

The contests at the primaries yesterday.
viewed as struggle between the veterans
and the new aspirants for political honors,
resulted in nearlv a drawn game. But as
between the individual candidates there
was nothing doubtful in the results.
The most important fight in its bearing
upon national issues was that between Col
onel Bayne and Mr.. Shiras for the Congress
sional nomination on the Northside. The
returns last evening showed very decisive
victory for Mr.. Bsyne. who will thus be re-
tained in the seat which he has held so
long. Mr.. Shiras, while he has displayed
the qualities of good campaigner, will
have to await the future to satisfy his Con-
gressional aspirations.
A contest even more hardly fought was
that between Senator Rutan and Mr.. Neeb
for the nomination to the State Senate in
Allegheny. In this fight the younger man
seems to have carried off the victory by
heavy majority. On this side of the river

THE CAUSE OF CALAMITIEs.

The West and Southwest are now supply
ing their quota of wholesale disasters. The
loss OF IA lives by the Oakland draw-bridge
calamity is accompanied by the burning of
big tinder-box hotel near Fl. Worth, Tex,
in which four lives were lost and a dozen
serious injuries were inflicted.
The reports of each calamity leave little
room for doubt that the loss of life in both
cases is due not only to the immediate cause
OF carelessness on the part of employees, but
to the ultimate causes of negligence and
stupidity on the part of superiors. There does
not appear TO have been any attempt made
to prevent such a disaster as took place at
Oakland. A very slight expense would have
provided a barrier to make it impossible tor
train to run on the bridge with the draw
open. But no such precaution was sought
for by the managers of the road. 1t does
not appear that even the piliful device OF
bringing trains to stop before they get the
signal to go on the bridge was in force.
Such an idea as spending time or money for
the protection of the lives of the passengers
was utterly remote from the management
As to the Texas fire, the case is even
clearer. 1t is hard to see for what other
purpose the hotel was built except to pro-
vide big bonfire. 1t was of that peculiarly
tinder-box construction which catches fire
at 10 o'clock and is burned down at 1880.
As if the danger from its very nature were
not enough, it was made additionally in
fammable with cotton draperies, live oak
moss and grass; and then ball was held to
set the thing off. If any unfortunate people
got themselves burned, that was the newt
able consequence OF the order of nature.
OF course, this sort of manslaughter will
continue as long as the high authorities who
are responsible for such things can keep
them up with impunity. The subordinates
who are Immediately the cause of such
calamities are cuIpable, of course; but If it
is desired to stop the sacrifice of life, the
penalties for manslaughter and criminal
careiessness must be applied higher up.

SOME CHOICE SNAKE STORIES.

A SEDALIA. Mo-. editor was presented with
a snake lately. When it arrived it was whole,
but in day or two it uDjointed itself and is now
in three pieces. The moral of this paragraph
is to shun the first glass.
WHILE two ladies and gentleman were out
riding at st. Augustine. Fla a day or two ago,
a huge blacksnake fell from limb of an over
hanging tree upon the top of the carriage. The
snake crawled down into the carriage by the
side of one of the ladies' She screamed and
the snake slid down the side of the vehicle and
made for the palmetto bushes. The driver
slashed at it with his whip and secured as
trophy a piece of the snakes tail.
JUDGE BAILEY. of Jackson, Ga, while fish

Thinking it was a sea serpent the Judge at
tempted to harpoon him with his hook. Max
ing an artistic cast he succeeded in hooking the
monster through the body Then it was pull

Judge. At last the snake made q dash at the
log upon which the Judge was standing, when
the legal luminary took to the water, yelling
for help. He was at last rescued by his friends
and his snakeship was killed.
d. J. GUYToN, living at Cartersville, Ga,
killed q snake under peculiar circumstances.
His cow had failed to come up at the usual
time and he went out in search for her. After
a long hunt he found the animal in a field and
when he attempted to drive her homeward she
would not move. Upon closer inspection Mr..
Guyton met with surprising sight. Wrapped
around one of the legs of the COW was large
snake. the head of which was doing effective
service in drawing lacteal fluid from one of the
teats. 1t took only few minutes to kill the
snake, which was found to be of the chicken
variety. measuring feet and inches.

STATE COURTS TO DECIDE.

The Leechburg habeas corpus case as de-
cided by Judge Acheson yesterday contains
several intimations that the way of the
original package vender may not be as
smooth as it was expected to be.
The Judge in refusing to discharge the
Leechburg liquor dealer does not dispute
the application of the Supreme Court deci-
sion, but decides that he will not interfere
with the right of the State Court to hear the
case and recognize the binding force of the
q. S. decision. II that recognition should
not be made as it was in Maine, of course,
the United States Courts will be obliged to
hear the case.
But this disposition warns the dealers in
the original package plan that they must
stand trial in the State courts under what
will probably be a strict construction of the
ruling by the United States Supreme Court.
What this may mean is foreshown by the
claim of the prosecution in the Silverman
case that the beer which be sold was not
shipped directly to him, but was first
shipped to Plttsburg and theLce reshipped
10 Leechburg. Beyond that there is the
question whether the decision in favor of nom
resident agents will be held to extend to resi-
dent agents. 1t would be somewhat unique
If non-residents had rights that are denied
to residents; but it is not more strange than
that foreign brewers, distillers and dealers
have rights that local ones cannot eniov in
their own State.
1t is this division between what is legal
and illegal on purely arbitrary lines with
ont reference, reason or morals, that ex-
hibits the Supreme Courts decision in its
least satisfactory light A reductio ad db-
SurduDl necessarily carries the implica-
tion of false logic, and the judicial decisions
as to State and Federal powers which give
man privileges superior to State law merely
because he is not the citizen of the State,
proves that the judicial reasoning is erron-
eously adjusted. Congress is evidently
going to correct the error so far as it applies
to the liquor traffic; but the judicial blunder
Will continue to confuse the public and
legal idea until some case arises by which
the Supreme Court can explain how much
of its remarkable ruling was not meant.
At present. however, it is likely to pro-
duce restraining influence on the un-
licensed liquor dealers to know that while
the principle of the decision is necessarily
beyond the controversy of the State courts,
they have got to make their title clear to its
protection before they secure exemption
under it.

ST. LOUIS, May 3l-Among the crowd at the
Union depot when the morning trains came in
was Mrs. Wilheminie Freeman, who was
awaiting the arrival from Texas of her little
daughter. She was much excited at the pros
pect, and when at last she recognized her child
she wept for joy as she clasped it in warm en-
brace and covered its face with kisses.
There is very pretty story attached to this
little meeting. Mrs. Freeman's husband and a
soldier named Shipley were in the army to-
gether. They were great friends. After Free
mans death Shipley re-enlisted, and was sta
toned at ST. Louis He called repeatedly on
Mrs. Freeman, and became attached to her lit

Mrs. Freeman fell sick, and while in the hos

casion as usual. but did rot return. When the
lady returned home she found that her hus-
bands friend and her little child were at Fort
Apache, Arizona. She wrote the commanding
officer, to whom Shipley admitted having no
claim on the child, but said he had no means to
send her home. At last, after seven years. wait

the child was sent home from Fort Bayard.

THE SCOTCH.IRISH.

BY KATE BROwNLEE SHERWOOD.
From Scot and Celt and Pict and Dane,
And Norman, Jute and FrIsian,
Our brave Scotch-Irish come
With tongues of silver. hearts OF gold,
And hands to smite when wrongs are bold,
At call Of nfe and drum.
BY king and priest and prelate racked,
By pike and spear and. hslberd hacked;
By foes ten thousand fiayed;
They flung Drumclog and Boutwell, Brig
An answer to the gown and wig.
And freedoms ransom paid.
They fell, alas, on marsA and moor;
They signed their covenants firm and sure
With letters writ with blood.
With sword and Bible on their knee
They taught their sons OF liberty,
And felt the foeman's thud.
Upon the sodden heath they lay,
Hard harried like the beasts Of prey,
In hunger and in pain;
Their goods and gear were scattered sore;
Tho exile ship its traffic pore;
But Scotia lived again.
The Cameronian cry arose
Above the jeers of friends and foes:
Scotland, forever freel
No priestly yoke, no tyrant's chain,
'CnrlsI' 3 iTOWn ana covenant again
Upon our banners see.''
And some set sail across the sea,
To lift the flag OF liberty
At Derry and the Boyne;
The slopes of Ulster and Of Down
To people with the bold renown
or Clelznd and Lochgoin.
Heaven speed the Caledonian Scott
The land is lean that knows him not
His banners bright unfurled;
For bark, the Bruce and Wallace cry,
'tFor liberty we dare, or die,''
He echoes through the world.
So Patrick Henry sped the word
That thoughts of Revolution stirred
In forum and in school;
And Carolina's1ri Scot
His burning declaration brought
Defy1ng kingly rule.
Heaven speed the Caledonian Scot!
He bears free speech, he bears free tho ught,
He manumlts the soul;
Beneath his feet let error die,
Above his head Gods guidonshy,
The while the seasons roll.
Inscribed on the old Scottish banners,
