The beautiful and hospitable home
of Judge Kirkpasrtck was thrown
open last Thursday evening to the
friends of Mr.. Taul kirkpatrick

was a reception to the young people of
the town by those two gentlemen,
who are about to leave us for Nashville
for year or two to complete their pro-
fession, Mr.. Bowman as lawyer and
Mr.. kirkpatrick as . physician. The
lovely grounds surrounding the house
were lighted with Chinese lanterns,
but on account of ii having rained in
the morning the visitors were debarred
the pleasure ofs,r caIsisg through the
walks. The reception party consisted
of Misses Minnie Kirkpatrick, Bose
Stuart, Annie Smith, and Nell Lamp
son. These young ladies gave cor
dial welcome to all. Mrs. Kirkpat-
rick is charming hostess, making
everybody feel at home, and at ease at
once. The evening passed in ''sweet
converse interspersed with music.
Late in the evening refreshments were
served in the dining room. Every
thing was done to make the evening
pass pleasantly for all, and with great
success, for everyone expressed them
selves as having had charming time.

A COMPLICATED !ll?sNENT.
Mother and Daughter ElOpe
With Two Brothers.

New YORK, August 19.--A double
elopement is agitating staid Long Is
landers. To complicate matters the
women are mother and her daugh-
ter, both having husbands, and the
men with whom they have eloped are
brothers. Nathan Freeman and Mrs.
Ezra Williamson, of Port jefferson, and
Charles Freeman and Mrs. Sylvester
Skidmore, the daughter of Mrs. Will
Hanson, are the central figures in this
interesting drama. Nathan Freeman
leaves wife and two children, aud
Charles Freeman wife and one child.
The husband of Mrs. Skidmore is Q
printer. Soon after their marriage he
got out of work, and they went TO live
with his wife's mother Skidmore be-
came afflicted with fits, and his mother
in-law put him out. His wife remained
Then Charles Freeman appeared on the
scene, and it was evident to all that
Mrs. Skidmore was the attraction. Mrs.
Charles Freeman heard of this, and
disguised herself in mans clothes, and
knocked at the front door of the Skid
more house and ran around to the back
door, where through an open window
she saw Mrs. Skidmore stow away her
erring Charlie into closet. There
was mosquito netting over the win
dow and Mrs. Freeman jumped
through, landing in the front room.
For few minutes there was confusion
and small riot, then the enraged
wife departed. Finally she concluded
to cause her husbands arrest, but
Charlie did not want to be arrested, SO
he went to Bridgeport, accompanied
by Mrs. Williamson's son. The latter
returned in few days, and then Mrs.
Williamson, accompanied by her chill
dren and Nathan Freeman and Mrs.
Skidmore, also went to Bridgeport
There they were met by Charles Free
man. All trace of them ends at that
point, though it is believed that they
have gone West. Both men have left
their wives in destitute condition.
Williamson tearfully said he had given
his wife $50 on her departure, for fear
she might come to want. He blames
her for all the trouble, though he says
he wiIetake her bach whenever she re-
turns. Following the elopement came
letter from Sylveston Skidmore, say
ing that he had secured work and got
over his fits, but it arrived too late.

Holy Coat On View.

TREvEs, Aug. 20. The public exhibi-
ton Of the holy coat, said to have been
worn by the Saviour, was begun to-day.
The coat was in glass case on the
high marble staircase behind the high
altar. A large cross, illuminated by
gas, has been erected over the place
where the relic isshown, and five flags
were ho'sted on the roof of the Cathe-
dral.
A great multitude was in attendance
to see the holy coat, and physicians are
overrun with applications for certificates
on the part Of the pilgrims who wish
to touch the garment, with the hope Of
being cured Of disease. Neither the
diocesan authorities NOR the great and
increasing throng OF pilgrims appar-
entity pay any attention TO the charges
affecting the authenticity Of the holy
coat.

How the Reciprocity Clause Got Into the
Mckinley Bill.

CINCINNATI, o,,-August 21.-Hon.
William Elroy Curtis, of the Bureau
of American Republics, has been visit
ing friends in Massillon for the past
few days. The Independent, of this
city, had an interview with him this
evening in regard to the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley law. Among
other things he said:
1.-The history of the reciprocity move
ment is this: The Pan-American Con-
ference had the question under discus
sion while the House Committee on
Ways and Means was framing the
present tariff law, and adopted re-
port, written by Mr.. Romero, of Mexico,
recommending the adoption of reci-
procity among American nations SO
far as could be done without impair
ing their necessary revenues. On Feb
ruary 10th, 1889, Mr.. Blaine met the
House Committee in McKinley's rooms
in the Ebbitt House. He explained the
situation and asked the Committee not
to disturb the duties of merchandise
imported from South America. They
did not follow his suggestion, but pre-
pared their bill without regard to the
Conference. When Mr.. Blaine found
that it was proposed to remove the
duty on sugar, he sent me to Mckinley
with proposition which he wanted
added to the bill as an amendment
1t afterwards became known as the
Hall amendment. 1t provided that the
President should be authorized to take
Off the duty on sugar whenever the
sugar producing nations removed their
duties on our farm products and GER
tain other articles.
Mckinley presented this amend
ment to the Committee on Ways and
Means, and it was not adopted. Nc
Kinley voted for it the first time it was
presented. Then second proposition
containing some notifications was pre-
sented, and Mr.. Mckinley voted for
that as he voted for the Blaine reci-
procity amendment every time it was
submitted in whatever form.
1T has been currently reported that
Mr.. Blaine denounced the Mckinley
bill with SO much vigor that he
smashed his hat. Mr.. Blaine's opposi-
ton to the bill was because of the free
sugar clause. He criticised the refusal
of Congress to take advantage of con-
ditions which he thought were very
favorable to our trade. They proposed
to throw away the duty on sugar.
when he wanted them to trade with it.
when what was known as the AL
drich amendment was adopted, Mr..
Blaine wasperfectly satisfied, and there
is nothing in the current tales that he
is unfriendly to Major Mckinley. On
the contrary, he is one of his warmest
friends. Had it not been for Mckinley
and Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island.
the reciprocity clause in the tariff act
would never have been crippled"

Cleanse tho whole system.

During the last half a century there
has been wonderful development In
what is known as sanitary science. 1t Is
a science that looks 10 the prevention OF
diseases In communities through the
medium OF cleanliness. and 1t commends
itself most urgently TO the common sense
Of the people. Meanwhile, II should be
born In mind that the human system
stands In need Of sanitation, and requires
even more care than the municipal body.
II Is precisely here that s. s. s. takes up
the work Of the sanitary scientists. II
cleanses the whole system, purlhes the
blood. disinfecis the channels through
which II flows, and destroys thc germs
Of disease. II is harmless medicine,

Ye Editors Trip to the COlOred Camp
Meeting.

About three miles West Of Jonesboro
the colored people of this section OF
country are fighting the devil, and in
cidentally having good time, at an
old-fashined camp-meeting. The meet
ing has been going on since Thursday.
We the Editors determined to pay the
meeting visit last Sunday. As there
was no train, or other monopolistic
way OF trayafiT tGG 'ssubsiGized
press could not obtain passes, and,
therefore, had to ''hoofn IL, as the price
Of trip in 1he buses was 20 cents.
None of the buss drivers owed any
thing on subscription, and we were un-
able to stand ''them of. The road
was simply a succession of hills, with
beautiful scenes OF distant mountains,
waving grain, and lovely residences
dotting the hills. If it had not been
for the mud the walk would have been
delightful, 1t had rained the night be-
fore, and the weight of two or three
pounds of Tennessee mud, added to the
No. 12 brogans of the printer, made
the walk rather heavy.
Reaching the grounds about0 o clock,
we found large crowd of people gath
cred on lovely hill, call Stuart's Hill.
There seemed to be more white people
than black. Everything in the way of
eatables we're for sale on the grounds.
We saw nothing of drinkables but
cider. There might nave been stronger
tipples, but we did not see any. The
meeting was held in u large shed with
open Sides The love-feast was Just
starting when we arrived, and we saw
the breaking of bread and shaking OF
hands, and heard the expression OF
goodwill and love for all. After the
feast came the testimonies, and there
was no lack of them. One preacher, 8
little black fellow, prayed in monoto'
nous strain, swaying his body and
head in time with his words, He ex.
perforated long stream of tobacco
juice without losing q word. AT one
time the excitement was so great that
it amounted to pandemonium. Men
and women were talking at once. One
of the leaders shouted, Keep on breth.
ren and sisters, If nobody else hears
you the Lord WILL
The singing was the~regular negro
shout, with constant repetitions. One
verse that was repeatedly sung was:
The devil is mad,
But am glad,
You must be pure in heart.
One good brother, in his prayer said
Lord, close up the whiskey barrel Ia
great shout went up); Lord close up
the cider barrel (another shout went
up, but not so great; Lord, close up
the candy booth (still shouts, but less in
volume. J" But he said nothing about
closing the watermelon stand, which
was doing rushing business. These
people mean well in their meetings,
and should be encouraged.

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Many Lose their Lives in a
Falling Building.

New YORK, August 22.-At twenty
five minutes past 19 this afternoon the
! Taylor Building, in Park Place, filed
] with men and women, boys and girls,
was blown to pieces.
, A boiler is supposed to have burst in
the basement, throwing the front of the
structure into the street and completely
wreoking the whole building. AT the
time of the frightful calamity there
were at least one hundred peoplei in the
building.
August 24.-The scene was distress
ing one, and the work of excavating
and removing the unfortunate dead
from the ruinswas Immediately begun,
and continued day and night, until 80
far thirty-five bodies have been found.
Only few of the bodies found could
be identified, being crushed beyond
recognition. Some were identified by
scraps of clothing that hung to the flesh.
Those that were identified at the ruins
were removed directly to their homes.
The others were taken to the Morgue,
and there many Of them await that
recognition they may never receive.
The total number of bodies recovered
from the ruins is thirty-five. OF these
twenty have been positively identified,
and there remain eighty eight missing.
The work Of excavating was carried on
all day yesterday and all night. There
is some expectation of completing the
work to-day. The horrible almost un-
bearable) odor of decomposing flesh
arising from the ruins indicates that
there are many corpses yet to be re-
moved.
NJ. F. Barnett, who is among the in
iured, formerly resided at johnson
City. He left that place early last
spring, and had not been heard of until
the report of this great collapse went
out. The injury which he received
was compound fracture of the skull.
He is about thirty-two years old. His
injury is not necessarily fatal. At the
time of the accident he was employed
by the South Publishing Company as
canvasser.
