The Third Party.

1t Is no longer a question of whether
or not we will have third partyin the
field next year, but the only question
of interest in relation to the new party
Is what will be its strength, and from
whence will it come The idea that
there would be a third party organized
at all was pooh! poohed!! for long
time by partisans of both parties, they
declaring that it was impossible to Or
ganlze third party because there was
no necessity for one, and no room for
one, even il there did exist the neces-
sity. They have learned, however,
that whether the necessity is real or
imaginary, it has succeeded in making
room for itself to some considerable ex-
tent and bids fair to require still more
room.
There is Just as certain to be presl-
Dental candidates nominated by the
labor party under some name as there
is a democratic candidate, and more
certain than a republican. Indeed
many intelligent labor leaders believe
there will be but one party opposing
the peoples party next year, even
predicting that the money power will
combine on a single ticket with Cleve-
land at it's head. Such is hardly prob
able, az it would not be polite, as the

piles the following facts about taxes
which will be interesting, if not pleas

For the next two years our govern

$500. 900.
To pay one years expenses of the
government it will take nearly the
combined wheat and oat crop.
Our annual output of gold, silver,
copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead
will not foot our tax bill for twelve
months.
Nor can we do it with a years pro-
duct of cotton, wool, rye, barley, wine,
potatoes and tobacco.

Few who visit London. the early seat of
English and American intelligence and
freedom, remember the dead city that lies
below it. Roman London lies u or 20
feet beneath the modern city. Wherever
excavations are made within the ancient
walls, proofs of its civilization and intelli-
gence are constantly found. The rarest
mosaics and even frescoes, the floors and
walls of ancient houses long lost to sight
cups and vases great amphOrR, rich Sa-

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
BELLOWS FALLS.
A BAD FOUNDRY ACCIDENT.
Two Men Burned by the Ovcrturn of
Two Tons of Melted Iron.


4 serious accident occurred at the foun-
dry of Osgood IL Barker at the north end
of the village Tuesday evening at about D
o'clock. by which four men were painfully
burned. and many others had narrow es-
capes. Twelve or thirteen men were at
work pouring the melted iron into mould
intended to make casting known as a
'chipper'' for the pulp mills. 1t was one
of the largest sized castings made here
and metal enough to weigh over two tons
had been drawn into the monster ladle and
swung around 10y the huge crane to the
side Of the mould. Two men were hold
ing the handles of the ladle ready to guide
the pouring. assisted by four Others with
levers. and the ladle was being held back
from the side of the mould by five men
holding a chain attached to it. as the mould
was laid a trle further away than the
crane would reach. Two or three other men
were i'm the immediate vicinity, when with
out warning the ladle turned suddenly bot
tom up, complying the two tons of iron upon
the wet sand floor, and the iron ran in every
direction much faster than the men could.
In the scramble to get away two men fell
down, but one coming top of the other only
the bottom one was seriously burned. His

was terribly burned about the feet, arms
and chest. John Stanton, a new man who
had been at work but a few days, coming
here from Athol, Mass, was probably the
most seriously injured, both feet being so
burned that parts of the flesh came off with
the boots. At first it was thought that he
would lose both legs, if not his life, but
later reports are of a more favorable ma
ture. Ed Rouse and Michael Hackett were
both severely burned, principally about the
feet and legs, but they are not as seriously
injured as the two first mentioned were.
The cause of the accident seems to have
been the neglect of the men at the handles
to take the customary precaution of having
their levers so placed in the handles as to
prevent the ladle tipping only one way.
This failure to have the proper safeguards
to prevent the overturn was without the
knowledge of the foreman, Patrick Hack
ett who is one of the most competent and
careful of men. He has had charge of this
foundry for great many years and this is
the first accident of serious nature which
has ever occurred. The four men who
were injured were all holding the ladle the
fifth one, Frank Hackett, escaping by fall
ing top of Sullivan. At last accounts all
the injured were doing as well as the ma
ture of their injuries would permit
