From three to four hundred acres
of wheat on the south side Of the liver
was badly damaged by hail storm
Sunday afternoon. Some of it was
totally destroyed. Several of the
farmers who lost their wheat had it
insured, and will therefore not suffer
total loss. Among the loosers are
e. G. Davis, o. A. Smith, John
Reigel. Mrs. Morris and Nick Smith
of the Walnut Creek Mills. The hail
stones were said to be some of them
as large as hen eggs, and of a rough
shape.

were very Hospitality entertrined by

Great Scott! Not sobered off yet,
Caraways You probably intended the
above item to have reference to D. r.
Logan, of Pawnee Rock, and his esti-
ma5le lady, but one would hardly dis
cover the fact from reading the above,
because Of its inscrutable blunders and
Inaccuracies. In the first place
you never visited j. B. Logan; sec
ondly, the idea that Charley Allison
or any other man of moderate appetite
and good manners could ever equal
You at well spread table is quite
preposterous, and, thirdly the
lady you evidently had refer
ence to is red hot democrat and has
been for years. Our advice is that
the next time you attempt to pass a
compliment upon another lady's cook
ing. at the expense of your own true
wife, and all other preparers of sup
pers "since those that mother used tt
cook, you get a little bit nearer The
general facts in the case and not %
off in such a tumble of errors as exhib
tied above.

Foreign Office which ho lord Sails

things whereof he had never dreamed
Lord Salisbury futher said that he
would not deal with political meterology
beyond srying that he had no fear OF
the future.
Speaking In regard 10 q revision OF
electorate, Lord Salisbury declared that
anc change IN this direction ought te be
associated with redistribution OF the
seats in Parliament The Conservatives
had no cause TO dread the result. Ire
land. Wales and North Scotland were
greatly over-represented, while Eng
land, especially London. was greatly
under-rcpresented, and redistribution
Of seats must be to the advantage OF the
Conservatives.
Lord Salisbury says he believes that
the question OF women voting demands
consideration. The abolition Of the
illiterate voter may be necessary. He
declares that home rule has not effected
any lodgment In England; that IL has
been supported by American gold and
is now backed by a clerical conspiracy.
Earl Spencer, formerly Lord Lieuten-
ant OF Ireland, declares that the policy
OF the Liberals In favor Of home rule for
Ireland is at present stronger than ever.
The cry OF the Conservatives, that homo
rule IL dead, he says is utterly false. II
was living principle, and Is as popular
In English constituencies now as before
disaster overlook the Parnellites. He
declared that home rule would be the
first proposal 10 be introduced in Tie
next Liberal Parliament.

He Will Be Pardoned.
Special Telegram to the REGISTER.
COLUMBUS, O., June 16-Henry A.
Smith, young man OF twenty-three,
was placed behind the bars at the Ohio
State Prison to serve one year for big
amy committed in Wood county, and
within an hour was recommended for
pardon by the State Board Of Pardons.
The case is peculiar one.
On trial it was shown that
Smith and his wife were unable to agree
and separated. She went to New York
and soon after wrote back to brother
of hers that she had secured one OF the
celebrated New York "bed and board
divorces. On the strength OF this
Smith, after consulting an attorney,
married again. His first wife's brother
then instituted prosecution and as it
was shown that his first wife was not
divorced, Smith was found guilty.
The judge in sentencing him said ne
believed Smith was only technically
guilty, and he wished he had power to
discharge him. The warden agreed not
to put the stripes upon the prisoner
until his application for pardon could
be made. The Governor will probably
pardon him tomorrow.

an instant this afternoon, by the giant

SAN Francisco, July 16.-The source
of the Salton lake is now settled. The

A newspaper party has just arrived

To Evade the Trust Law.

& CHICAGO, July 16.-The wholesale
grocers of the city met here to-day tn
consider a proposition from the Liggett
and Myers Tobacco Co., of St, Louis,
which is intended TO evade the anti
trust law passed by the last State Legis-
lature. 1t is understood that this plan
has the sanction of the tobacco trust.
In brief, it proposes, In the place Of
obliging the wholesaler to sell at the
trust price, to make him the agent OF
the trust under conditions which will
force the maintenance Of prices as ef-
fectually as the old plan. Considerable
opposition 10 the new scheme was de-
veloped at to-day's meeting, but no
definite action was taken.

He is wrapped up In his great tunnel
project in Colorado, where he is build
ing tunnel five miles long under
mountain, the top of which is 4,40O
feet above the tunnel. 1t is costing
$50 day and progressing few feet

He is heartily in favor Of free coinage

If the grandest, the richest country on
the earth with the greatest enterprise
and most varied resources cannot COM

SrEuBENvILLE, O., July l6.-At to-
days session Of the glassworkers, by an
overwhelming vote, the convention de-
feated the amendment to have biennial
conventions. The Eastern men were In
favor of the amendment and the West
ern men were opposed to 1t, because II
involved the signing OF scales for two
years instead of one year. The ques-
tion OF the admission Of packers into
the union came up as a side issue
to include packers with chimney
and lamp workers. A very lengthy dis
cussion followed and the matter was
considerably mixed when vote was
arrived at and tho amendment was de-
feated. But 10 Is claimed by some OF
the best informed men In the convention
that when the issue on the question OF
the admission OF the packers Is taken
up tomorrow, that different result
will be reached. 1t may be that tho
packers will not be admitted into the
union upon the same basis as mould
makers, but they will receive such rec
ognition as will insure cooperation In
The event Of trouble.
Both the packers and flints are now
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, but have separate organlza-
tions, and the packers justly claim that
they are unable 10 obtain their rights
and demands without involving the or
ganization Of the tlints, something they
have always guarded against.
In addition 10 the matters named
above the principal discussion to-day
was upon the enlargement oil the duties
of the press branch executive. IL Is
proposed In an amendment to divide
the press branch into districts, each
district To be supervised by one men,
Der OF the Executive Board, who
shall not be In any other
employment, and whose duty Ii shall
be TO see that every factory keeps all
the laws In accordance with the con-
stitution and agreements, and TO look
after all grievances and have them
rectiiied at once. The idea meets with
considerable favor. but Is being opposed
by the general officers on the ground
that it is curtailnent OF their powers.
The convention adjourned this evening
debating this question, and In addition
to its settlement tomorrow amend
ments making radical changes In the
cutters rules, the matter OF strike ben
efits and apprentices In the mould
making branch will come up for adjust
ment, so that 1t Is not likely the cleo
tlon OF officers will be reached until TO-
morrow evening, and possibly Saturday
evening.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
That Befel the Inmates Of Ono House
Five Victims Recorded.


PITTsBURG, July 16.-A series OF ac-
cidents happened at Rankin station.
near Rraddock, Pa, yesterday and last
night, whereby five persons living In
the same house were either killed or
fatally injured. Yesterday morning
David Bell, aged 90 years, employed at
the Carrie furnace, and boarder at the

his work. He did not return for sup
per and at seven O'clock last evening

while swimming or committed suicide.
Two hours later lamp exploded In
McGrattin's dwelling, and two OF his
children. Robert and Charles, agen z
and 10 years, who were sleeping at the
time, were burned up with the house.
This morning about daylight Harry
Rowe and Peter Knee, who boarded
with McGrattins, went to the ruins TO
look for some of their effects. While
searching in the debris, a brick Chin
ney fell on them, almost instantly Kill
Ing Rowe and fatally injuring Knee.
The men were about 80 years OF age and
single.
Another fatality may result from the
serie Of remarkable accidents at Kan
kin station. DR.. Cope who was called
to dress the wounds Of Peter Knee, was
driving home this morning when his
horse ran away and wrecked the vehicle.
The doctor was thrown out and injured
so badly that he may die. Peter Knee
died about 10 o'clock this morning,
making five deaths so far. The acci-
dents have created intense excitement
in the vicinity and large crowd sur
rounds the ruins.
