The oharred Body of William Mann
Found IN Hut at Grubb's Corner.
The dead body Of William Mann was
found in the hut where he had lived for
some years on the Fork Road, near
Grubb's Corner, just after dark last
evening.
A neighbor who had occasion to pass
the shanty looked in the widow and
thought he saw the body of q man lying
on the floor. The man went to the post
office and informed the postmaster Of his
discovery and together they went to the
hut and made an examination.
From what they saw it was evident
that the man had been burned to death,
his clothing being almost cons imed.
They did not make a close examination,
however, as they had only a limited sup
ply Of matches with them which were
their only means Of making a light. Cor
oner Gamble was notified land went this
morning to hold an inquest.

Goods that Everybody Wants.

The dozen or so of sorts
that we hold up here hardly
serve to give you a notion of
what we've been doing. In
every case the reductions are
from yesterdays prices, and
they were away below the

point to as going from 371ac
to 3oc, for instance, in reality
drop from goethe opening
price of the season; the 2oc
goods from 25c, are, in fact,
regular 371ac kind. And so
on all through the list.

CoLLIs P. HUNTINGTON, the milliona-
ire railway magnate, does not know who
Amos Cummings is There are probably
many others who do not know the
founder Of the New York Evening Sun
and the representative in Congress from
The Ninth District of New York. Th,r,
are probably many other interesting and
important facts which Mr.. Huntington
does not know. 1t is one Of the popular
errors Of the age to attribute knowledge,
benevolence and wisdom to rich men.
Rich men usually know very little more
than the trade or the arts, sometimes rep
rehensible, by which they obtained then
riches. Frequently they do not care t.
know anything else.

ers the New York Sun says:
One OF the most extensive OF these
drinking places is the Union League Club
itself The income from its bar is fully
ten times the average income of the rum
shops OF the town, as this report esti

makes on the sale Of wines aud liquors,

It not for the bar the club could not

The Union League Club is a Republi-

half a million dollars to Quay's campaign
fund. II is now open for unlicensed
Sunday tippling and ''gentlemanly
drunks" while assisting the Law anC
Order Society to drive honester men out
of business. The Sun continues;
The temptations to over-indulgenc'

ALONG with the usual am cunt Of non
sense the COMMITTEES on Ways and Means
is hearing some sense. Yesterday George
A. Macbeth OF Pittsburg said be manu-
factured two hundred styles of lamp
glass, only twenty Of which were COM
peted with by foreign producers. One Of
the principal articles used in his business
was soda-ash, which now bore duty Of
23 per cent, and he favored the reduction
OF the duty on that article He would
take the duty received from soda ash
last year and buy ! the sodaa sh
manufactory at Syracuse four times
over. He bought foreign soda ash though
he could get the domestic ash cheaper
That soda ash factory is the only one in
the country. 1t is another contradiction
Of the theory Of protectionism. The
tariff only on soda-ash has not induced
other factories, though the one is not
sufficient to supply the demand. Thus
one by one, on examination, the fallacies
are exposed. We have been protecting
glass which did not need protection and
soda-ash which did not supply the de
