The Tiu-Plate Consumers Association
which has recently been organized will
represent two thousand establishments
heavily Interested In tin consumption.
In d speech made before the association
by Congressman BUNTING, who is HIM
self interested in the canning business,
he said:
The canning industry now consumes
more than one hClf Of the tinpiate import
cd. and this was SS,OO0OOO yearly, because
it was made a market for the disastrous
discrimination. The industry counts near
Nv 200 establishments and gives employ
meut. directly or Indirectly, 70 nearly :, co.,
O02 people. All the promises Of the concerns
which were 20 embark ia the tiDplate busi-
ness within thirty days from the passage
of the 0,t have proved myths. They are,
still Glowing the tin horn OF prom
ise 20 the phantom tinplate industry
and adding 70 the reality Of their iron
roofing plants.
Instead Of depressing the price of tin
plate, as MCKINLEY predicted, Nh.
BUNTING asserts that the act made it
possible for spectators to anticipate
the proposed advance in making sales
In nine months to such an extent that
consumers paid an advance on tin-plate
almost equal to the Increase in duty.
He quotes Henry Nash & Co., Of Liver
pool, TO the effect that spectators made
a profit Of 100000 in Rine months.
He asserts that the American Timed
Plate Association played confidence
game on MesSrs. ALLISON and MCKIN-
LEY, which can only be corrected by the
repeal Of the duty on timed plates by
the next Congress.
Mr.. BUNTING produces figures show
ing that the increased cost TO con-
sumers OF canned goods, by reason of
the duty on the tin in the cans, is
enough TO pay -, coo workmen salary
Of $500 a year, with 100000 left over.
II would require 10000 acres Of land to
grow the corn represented by this
waste. In the absence of the duty the
Gamer could pay the farmer 25 per
cent. more for the fruits, etc, canned,
and still sell them for the old prices.
The meat packers used 600, 900 boxes
of tinplate in the year ending March
/ last. OF this $4,000 boxes were used
at home. The duty which the con.
sumers paid was Sl,295,75O, or enough
TO pay for 56,2S7 more head Of cattle
which would have paid the farmer So
a head aud would have required fol
grazing over 100000 acres. This in
crease in stock raising, packing and
marketing would mean employment fol
10000 persons. This Is about the mum
Der Of persons living of the tinplate
I industry in the world.

APATIENT MAN REWARDED.
He Grows Rich and WEEDS the Daughter oil
the Woman He Was Too Poor to Marry.

the " OlllhH w 40 AcO 49,
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, October u.
The marriage OF John Ring, aged 20,
of Cabell county, and Miss Mary Don
nan, aged 20, Of st. Adams, which has
Just taken place, is somewhat romantic.
An old friend Of the aged groom says
that Ring was at one time in love with
Miss Domains mother, but on account
of his then comparative poverty was
forced to see her wooed and won by her
present husband. He remained true
to his feeling, however. and when
his present bride was q little girl
became much attached to her. In ap-
pearance so much like her mother, the
old gentleman found in her childish al
lection a solace for the loss OF her
mothers love. AS the girl grew to
womanhood the old gentleman became
a wealthy man, and when he sought the
hand of Miss Donnan short time ago,
found the mother a ready helper in the
match. The groom has just purchased
a fine farm near the Donnan home and
will enjoy his last days in the sunlight
of the smiles of his young bride.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A NAN IS HORRIBLY CRUSHED At TIKI
WHEELING STEEL PLANT.
John Kelly, Engineer, Is Caught Between a Cross
Bar ard Cylinder Read, and Sus-
tains Paial Irjuriss.

A horrible fatal accident, which will
result In the death of John Kelly, en-
glneer of the blowing engine at the
wheeling steel plant, in Benwood, oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon about half
past one o'clock.
The Wheeling plant has not been In
operation for several days, and adYan
tage was taken yesterday of the idle
ness to make some repairs upon the
blowing engine. One of the engineers,
John Kelly, was sitting astrido the
crosS-head, working at the Stutling-oox'
Ell. Liueuurger, one of the greaSers
employed at the lpant, was on the plat
form above the engine, and think
ing the engineers were ready 10
start ne pulled the throttle, and the
cross head was forced up against the
network of blowing valves upon the
cylinder head. Kelly stopped, and ms
shoulder caught against the cylinder
head. When the wOrkmen stopped the
engine and extricated the unfortunate
man from ais perllous position, he was
bleeding proiusely from internal
wounds. He was taken to the
residence Of Mr.. Pat Higgins, on
Main street, in Benwood, where he
boards, and DR.. HaSkins was called.
The doctor made an examination OF his
Injuries and found that his shoulder
was crushed, his left arm broken, and
he was injured internally. He suffered
intensely, but did not lose conscious
ness. He will live but few hours.
Ed. Lineburger, the workman who
started the engine, was nearly dis
tracted from grief. Kelly Is about 40
years Of age, and has two children.
His wife died few weeks ago. lie Is
sober and industrious, and is very popu-
lar among the workingmen.

HELENA, MONT, October 12.-Ihe
Highway lady" arrested here wnlie at-
tempting to leave town in mans ATTIRE,
proves to be nervy young woman Ia
She is also versatile prevaricator' her
name has bsen discovered from letters
in her possession. Instead OF oelng
BERTHE Miller, she is Helen torstuhu'
and her parents live not lar from
Spokane Falls, Washington. -,
Helen was the baby and beauty OF the
family, but her waywardness mas oeeh d
source of deep grief to her relatives;
The fact that trial OF blood was Iounu
along the route of the retreatinS mug
who shot policeman Grogan ana that
the man Clark denied that he knew she
was woman has given rise to suspl-
cion that she trapped Clark TO recover
the retreat Of a third person, who was
probably her lover. ,,e
Clark has been positively identified
by the wounded officer, and by both the
Victims Of his robberleS and a watch DE-
longing to one Of them was founa on
his person. The girl is held as an ac-
complice and the only evidence against
her is her own confessions and the
watch of one OF Clark's victims found on
her person.

KzEP 1T UP. NEIGHBOR.

+ And now along comes the IntelIigcnccr
with IT'S silly little editorial pen and
adds fuel TO the flames started by the
SANDER editors in the Ohio Republican
camp, which are likely to burn up all
i McKINLEY's chances Of election and re-
duce his American tin-plate fake to a
molten mass of lead and iron. IL fails
to appreciate the sad strait which HAL
STEAD has again got the Commercial
Gazette into by telegr0phing to it the
slanderous story published in the New
York Recorder, which the Commercial
Gazette had not the nerve TO publish at
first hand, regarding Gov. CA,PBELL's
private Indebtedness.
That the infamous story Of Gov.
CAMPBELL being half a million dollars
IN debt through gambling in Wall street,
and through his and his wife's reckless
extravaganza, is utterly false and with
out the slightest color Of truth every
body but the Intelligence admitted as
soon as it was shown that Gov. CAMP
BELL never gambled IN Wall street nor
owed money TO the gentlemen who were
said to be his creditors. One RALPH
WILKINSON, who was given as author
ity for the lie, and to whom, the story
said, the Governor owed $1,000, has
failed to appear since the libel, and
Gov. CAMPBELL has publicly denied all
knowledge Of the existence OF any such
person. Even the Commercial Gazette
recognized its blunder when too late,
and the day after the publication tried
70 crawl out of a small hole by
claiming it had made no statement Of its
own, but simply reproduced what an
other journal had said. Since then it
has meanly been trying TO put on a bold
face by asserting that Governor CAMP
BELL does owe money, the basis Of this
awful charge being that he has a run
ming account with the Western Union
Telegraph Company at Columbus. SO
has the Commercial Gazette running
account with that telegraph company
and at this moment probably owes it 0
bil twice as large as that which It has

KILLED HIS FATHER.
A North Carolina Desperate Captured In
Tennessee

RALEIGH, N. c., October 12.-Sher-
man Greer and his two crippled broth
ers lived with Rev. VIM. Greer, their
father, an aged preacher, in Wilkes
county. Sherman and friend went

Mr.. Greer ordered his son to leave the
house and the young man shot him.
Sherman's friend, young man named
Francis Watson, caught the old man
and Sherman again fired, killing his
father.
the crippled lads gave the alarm and
a pursuit was made. The desperadoes
stole horse and defied posse. Many
shots were fred and Frank Walsh, one
of the posse, was dangerously wounded.
Greer and Watson escaped. Sheriff
Church organized posse and pursued
them into Tennessee. At one point there
was battle during which forty shots
were exchanged. The Tennessee au-
thorities captured the fugitlves and
they are in jail at Wilkesbury.

THE proposed series Of farmers insti-
tutes which the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, in connection with the University
Regents propose to hold next month in
the several congressional districts, is
an excellent move. II is emlnently prac-
teal, and will, more than anything else,
bring the farmers in touch with the in
stitutions which have been created for
their special benefit. The plan is outlined
elsewhere. The Board Of Agriculture
proposes, also, to begin the publication
of a weather crop bulletin next April,
10 continue throughout the crop season,
which will be another feature of much
value TO the farmers.

ONLY a MATCH,
But 1t Produced little Blaze and Then n
Large One.

MEMPHIS, October 12.-J. NJ. Horton,
a wealthy cOlored farmer Of this coun-
ty, is nearly $4,000 cut Of pocket
through the criminal careleSsness Of a
colored deputy sheriff named Bill Boil
ton. Saturday night Bolton went to
Horizons steam gin TO levy on q lot Of
cotton therein belonging to one of Hor-
tons customers, and, going to the cot
ton room, whore the atmosphere was
charged with fine particles Of cotton
lint, he struck a match. Instantly the
whole place was in a blaze, and in ten
minutes the gin house and contents
were destroyed. a crowd of colored
people gathered and on finding out what
Bolton had done, they set upon him and
beat him so severely that he may die.
Horton has no insurance.

then met as board outside the Treas
urer's Office and adjourned till two
o'clock to meet in the Comptroller's
Office. This action is likely to compli-
cate the collection Of nearly all the
State taxes.

against the Governor. If having a run
ming account with a telegraph company,
or owing money is a dishonorable thing
every newspaper and half the public
men in the United States ought to be
black-listed and refused admittance to
decent society.
1t is not the charge that Gov. CAMP
BELL is poor and has debts unpaid,
which constitutes the libel; his SANDER
ers we'll know this; but the Infamous
exaggerations Of his debts and the base
less and indecently made charges against
the Governor and, even his estimable
wife, whom the political ghouls could
not spare.
The leaders Of the Republican party
are now heartily cursing the assininity
of the consclenceless editors who hurled
this boomerang
But the IntcUigeBcer, with its accns-
toned political sagacity, thinks it a
wise thing TO keep alive the falsehoods,
which the Republican leaders are do
ing their best to smother up and Oblit-
crate from the public memory.
THE old saw, 500 from home to learn
the news, is just as true now as 1t was
when first uttered. II Wheeling people
want 10 learn that all their iron and
steel works are about to be turned into
tinplate millslet them read the Republi-
can newspapers of other cities. There is
a syndicate oftalented journalists in this
city who are engaged in the commenda-
BILE work Of revOlutiOnizing our indus
tries out Of hand, without consulting
our mill owners or anybody else. They
have already nearly succeeded in turning
about every iron and steel works in the
Ohio valley into tin-plate mill. They
are all to quit making nails, sheet
iron and steel, tubing, merchant iron,
ETC., etc, and go 70 making Amer
lean tln-plate. OF course, Wheel
ing people know nothing Of this vast
change, they are not aware Of the exist
ence Of any tin-plate mill, present or
prospective, in this locality, except
the one Manufacturer CROOKS keeps
guarded in the cellar Of his Mar
tins Ferry notion store, but then
Wheeling people are not supposed to
know everything that is going on right
under their noses. They want to take
a few MCKINLEY organs from out OF
town 70 learn what centre Of Ameri-
can tin-plate manufacture Wheeling
is about 10 become
