GEMS" moved our Market street neigh
Dor to argue at length that States Rights
were not involved in the matter. II the
question was not directly involved, the

Inquirer, says that the country has been

pithy maxim just quoted. The United

our contemporary, aud some Of the con.

centralizing movement. AS the Inquirer
says, they arc no respecters Of State

with States, and, except for certain for
malisics required by the laws under
which they are operated, the States, for
them, exist but in name; as the agents

REPRESENTATIVE FlTcu, Of New York,
made q very short speech on the inter.
national copyright bill the other day,
but it vas full OF good points in favor Of
the measure and the surprising thing is
that more members did not appreciate
the force OF his argument. It is strange
that more American statesmen cannot
understand the necessity for the lcgisla.
ton, and that they cannot give it re.
spectiul consideration. The question is
Of principle rather than economy.

An antitrust bill has just passed the

The Second District,

Our esteemed Democratic contempor-
airy, the Fairmont Inder, owned and
edited by Governor Jennings Secretary
Of State, seems to be very much con-
cerned over the talk, on the part OF Re-
publicans. Of nominating Hon. S. B.
Elkins for Congress in the Second dis.
trict, and is horror stricken atthe idea OF
a gentleman from New York" running
for office in West Virginia. Mr.. Elkins
is as good a citizen OF this State as our
worthy Secretary Of State, and has con.
tributed quite as much, if not more, to
i's welfare as have those who raise the
carpet-bag cry whenever a Republican
who does not happen to be ito the
manor born steps to the front. Who
ever is nominated by the Republicans in
the Second district this year will give
Hon. Free Trade Wilson a very close
race. The Second is one Of the West
Virginia districts in which the Protec-
ton sentiment is constantly growing.
1t is not at all strange that the Democ-
racy is in trepidation at the idea Of SO
distinguished a Protectionist leader as
Mr.. Elkins being chosen US the Republic
can standard. bearer, or that he will be
in the district to work for whoever else
is nominated.
Mr.. Wilson, the present representative
OF the Second district in Congress, has
three times narrowly escaped defeat, in
spite OF the fact that the district was for
merly in the habit Of giving in the
neighborhood Of fifteen hundred major
ity. Mr.. Wilson's free trade pr~oclivities
are accountable for the remarkably close
he experienced at least twice
his career as a statesman. He
continues to stick to his British idol, and
the people OF his district will next fall
vote for u friend Of the American sys-
lem. Whether it is Mr.. Elkins or any
other one Of the many able Protectionist
OF that section Of West Virginia,
the Republicans will have cause to feel
encouraged.

THERE is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases

was supposed to be incurable. For a

with local treatment, pronounced it in.

Mrs. Pages statement is as follows:
81 was awake up 70 the time the accident
occurred, although in bed. Just before the
accident heard sound as il chair
moved in the hall downstairs, and followed
by the slamming Of the front door as Of
some one going out. I asked Mrs. Billiard,
who with her husband occupied the adjoin-
ing room, if there was any one down
stairs, and Mr.. Billiard said no;
that he had just come upstairs
and there was no one down there. Mrs.
Billiard said she supposed IL was one of the
boarders. She had hardly finished speak
ing when the explosion came. lt sounded
like clap of thunder. 1t sounded as If it
were located about midway of the hall on
the first floor. This was Immediately fol-
lowed bv the fall and crash of the walls,
which made quite different sound from

Rescued together"
This closed the testimony for the day, and,
on motion of Juryman Hubbell, an adjour
msnt was had until 3 O'Clock this afternoon
for further inspection of the ruins. Mr..
Rimes will be examined to-day.
ALL SORTS OF THEORIES.
There were theories and theories of the
people which visited the ruins. Many be-
ieved that the building collapsed through
faulty construction, and that was the
theory of many contractors and builders
until the debris had been cleared
away from the foundation and
the evidences of an explosion
were laid bare The floor of the hall, where
the explosion occurred was gone, and
deep hole underneath showed the down.
ward force of the explosive. The base Of
the west wall was blown outward into a
narrow alley leading to the rear of the
house.
What the explosive agency was
there is no positive evidence yet to
disclose, but the general belief is that it was
dynamite or nitro-glycerine. The further

that he went 70 bed at s o'clock the night
before. His mother tells different story,
that he went TO bed at dusk. Whether
Maxwell had anything to do with blowing
up the building is, of course, impossible to
say. He will be held to await the result Of
the coroner's investigation.
DIGGING AWAY THE RUINS.
City Marshal Wade and Deputy Marshal
Kelly were on the ground early yesterday
morning with force of men clearing away
the ruins, and all through the day Congress
street and Franklin square. in the neighbor-
hood of the wrecked building, were packed
with curious sightsesrs, and the wonder was
often expressed IL the workmen would fed

death.
The front door was blown, with other
debris into the square as far as st. Julian
street, and bricks were blown on top of the
Hart building on the north side of Congress
street and in the rear of the old Seaman's
bethel For a space Of four feet In the
hallway and at the front entrance, in the
space indicated by the dotted lines in the
diagram Of the first floor of the building.
not a vestige of the floor remains. 1t is not
known how far the floor was blown up, as
the heavy rain which set In between
and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon caused
a suspension Of work. The indications,
show that the explosion was upward and
downward as well as outward.
THE RUINS UNDER GUARD.
A guard Of police was placed at the ruins
last night, and this morning the work of
clearing away will be resumed. Orders
have been given that none of the debris is
to be removed beyond the first floor, as the
coroner's jury will visit the ruins at 3
o'clock this afternoon to see how far the
floor is affected by the explosive employed

THOUGHT THE LAST DAY HAD COME.
Jacob A. Rimes, an employe of Bacon,
Bryan q Co., who was the fifth to be res
cused, said to a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday that his impression was that all
the houses in the city were in the same
common ruin. When he could collect his
thoughts he began to think the end of the
world had come. and he remembered the
Biblical prophecy that the last days would
come like thief in the night. He
said that he lay for what
seemed TO him to be about ten minutes, CIV
ing up ali hope and resigned to his fate,
when the heat became so oppressive that he
began TO think the ruins we're on fire.

whose voice recognized, crying out, ooh,

can see me. Helpr Then began to call

Mr.. Rimes gives the following account of
the events of the night: II had been down
on Zubly street 30 spend the evening at
Mrs. Van Bracksl's, at my old boarding
