THE DAmNINa RECORD.


The business failures in the country
during the past seven days number 23l
while for the corresponding week last
year they were POS. This is the off.
cial record as furnished by Dun g. Co.'S
weekly review of trade. All this hap
pens in the midst of the most bounteous
harvest this country ever saw; and in a
country at peace with all the world
This record of business disaster started
in with the passage of the Infamous
robber tariff, known as the Mckinley
bill. 1t will not be abated until that
measure Is wiped from our statIte
books forever. The way to wipe 1t out
Is to vote the Democratic ticket. No
half way house should be patriots
goal this coming November. Let us
have q straight Knockout.

A DASTARDLY MURDER.

Tramp Attacks a Farmers Family
and Kills the Farmer and His Wife
and Fatally Wounds Two Sons
The Murderer Fatally Shot.
LOUISVILLE, July 26.-Nesr Paris, KY,
this morning tramp attacked farmers
family and attempted to murder all of
them. The farmer and his wife were
killed and one son fatally and another son
dangerously wounded. The murderer was
only beaten off by neighbors coming up,
from one of whom he received fatal
shot.
Five miles from Paris lives Nathan S.
Conway, aged sixty-one, his wife, their
sons, Charles and William, aged thirty
three and twenty eight years respectively,
Williams wife and three children and two
nieces, Misses Florence and Lucy Teager.
AS they were all sitting on the veranda
this morning an insane negro named
Craig, who had no fixed home, came up and
after some questions struck Charley Con-
way with knife, splitting his skull. The
rest of the family ran into the house. Craig
continued to hack the young man till he
thought him dead. He then attacked the
father, who had returned, and killed him.
Then the mother coming up had her head
split open and instantly died. After
the negro had hacked her body in
a dozen places, he attacked Will
liam Conway, cutting him in the head and
on the body as he ran. He had just struck
Conway to the ground when G. W. Bar
low, neighbor, attracted by the screams,
came up and shot Craig twice with buck
shot. This seemed to have no effect, but
other neighbors had come up and a young
man shot Craig with pistol. He is known
to have killed one woman before. He has
always been known as a desperate fellow
and was a brother of Charley Craig, now
under sentence of death in Cincinnati.

TWO INTERNAL MACHINES.
Sent in the Guise of Catholic Prayer
Books to Two Members of the
French Cabinet-NO Clue to the

PARIS, July 26.-The identity of the
person or persons who sent the internal
machine received yesterday by Nine. Con-
STAINS, the wife of the minister of the in
terror, has not yet been discovered. Ac-
cording to the latest particulars the book
in which the explosives were concealed ap
peared to be Catholic prayer book. The
book, panied by letter was found
by Minister Constans on Saturday morn
ing on his desk. The handwriting on the
envelope was so much like the writing of
one of his neices that he concluded that
the letter was intended for Nine. Constans
and he therefore sent both book and letter
to his wife. Nine. Constans on receiving
the book found the leaves stuck fast to-
gether and handed it 70 the butler to open.
The butler was about to use chisel on it
when he noticed fuse affixed to the leaves.
The book was then turned over to the
police by whom it was cautiously opened
when cavity was disclosed in which was
concealed 200 gramemes of illuminate. A
few grains of the illuminate when tested in
a laboratory exploded with report like
that of cannon.
A book similarly prepared reached NJ.
Etienne, under secretary of the colonial
office, and was received by NJ. Trielle, di-
rector of the colonial health department.
M. Trielle was put on his guard by few
grains of the illuminate dropping of the
book. There is vague suspicion that the
missives were sent by retired naval sur
geon who has a grievance.

PARIS, July ga collision between

night, in which fifty persons were injured
and three carriages were wrecked. Both
trains were returning from musical fes
tival at Fontenoy. The second train
crashed into the preceding train before the
latter had left the St. Maude station. The
guards van and the three rear cars of the
fast train were wrecked and caught fire
from the gas. The injured occupants
were shrieking in despair and the othel
passengers hurriedly left the train and as
sisted in extricating the victims. Soldiers
also aided the fire brigade to quench the
flames and rescue the sufferers. The worl
of helping the injured was carried on by
torchlight. 1t is reported now that fifty
persons were killed.

WHAT CHAUNCKx pEpEw SAWS

I'm Reference to the Possible Candi-
dates In 1S92-He Is OF the opinion
That Harrison VIII he the Republic
can Standard Bearer and That
Cleveland VIII Lead the Democratic
Cohort-The Mckinley Bill and the
Reciprocity Clause to he Of Material
Aid In Carrying the Election for the
Republicans.
LONDON, July 27.-An interview with
Mr.. Chauncey II. Depew was published in
London paper on Sunday morning. Mr..
Depew deprecated the suggestion that he
was likely to be the man to champion the
republican cause in the next presidential
election in the United States. He
said he believed Mr.. Harrison
would carry the election as the
republican candidate. ''Mr. Blaine" he
continued, 'is the strongest man politi-
cally, and the most popular, but still, in
my belief, 1fr. Harrison will be renomi-
mated. That is my decided opinion, no
matter what candidates other than Mr..
Harrison may be spoken about" When
asked who the democrats were likely to
nominate Mr.. Depew, promising that he
spoke year in advance of the
nomination, said he believed that
Mr.. Cleveland was the most likely candi-
date, but that the democrats would not be
as unanimous for Mr.. Cleveland as the re-
publicans would be for their candidate.
Bad time, Mr.. Depew said, would disap-
pear under the assured prosperity of the
farmers
'Do you argue, then, that the republic
ans have suffered all they will suffer on
acpnnnt of tho MoRin1ax- los M tt,n&
now it is the democrats that it will smite
hip and thigh!'
''Just SO. The Mckinley tariff will do
a. very great deal to carry the cleo
ton for the republicans. Especially
will the reciprocity clause do a
great deal. The American people are
now seeing that by means of that clause
we shall be able to do great things from a
commercial point of view with the
states of South American. Until the Nc
Kinley bill was passed the United States
had been paying hundred millions year
in cash to South America. Mark
that this money was paid through
London. We got raw material from
Germany and paid for it in cash. Now
we shall get the same amount of raw ma
terial or more, but by means of the Nc
Kinley reciprocity clause we shall
be enabled to sell manufactured
goods in return In other words
we shall pay in kind. England and Ger
many will lose what America gains for
Harrison. The latter would win on the
tariff and silver questions. Certainly the
republicans erred in passing the Mckinley
bill just before the election. The worst
effects of the bill were felt at once Just in
time to cause republican defeat But it
Was NOT demonratic maior;fv hut q poo
jority of democrats and cranks. American
politics were very mixed Just then. Now
they are clarifying, and the benefits of
the Mckinley law are becoming felt. AS
an illustration the Farmers alliance is an
outcome.

FREE SUCCESS In LIFE.

Jottfngs from n Discourse at the
First Presbyterian Church by Rev.
DIR. Brown-Rev. MIR. Danforth TO
Preach During August.
At the First Presbyterian church on
Elm street, near Orange street, Rev. F. A.
NJ. Brown, D. D., preached an excellent
sermon yesterday morning from the text
in the forty-second verse of the twenty
seventh chapter of Matthew. HE saved
others: himself he cannot save"
Brief extracts from the able discourse
are as follows:
There are many men vino are ever ready
to Join with those who sneer at gospel
truths, but there has never been triumph
that was more than temporary, of those
whose minds are as evil as indicated by
their scornful reference to religious
truths. This is evident from the history
of men and the teaching of God. The
words of the text were the sentiments of
those who stated that Christ was not sue
cessful-he could not save himself.
1t is the opinion of those who observe
only the surface of things that only the
educated and refined are successful. This
leads to further consideration of sue
cess in life which will be aided by one or
more questions. First, Is success the at
tainment of ones purpose in hfel
The success of ones purpose is not al
ways true success, however pure the aim.
For instance suppose a man becomes so
deaf he cannot hear one word of a min
ister's sermon, or the singing of the choir,
and yet he attends church regularly for
the sake of the example to others This is
commendable and should be classed as
true success.
There are several essential elements of
success; first, time. That which is to be
enduring must be of slow growth. Our
beautiful elm trees are slow in growing,
but they are permanent for many years.
If youth will become scholar, he must
devote much time to study, not only this
but he must give up many things.
Another element is patience, We should
have patience and not be weary in well do
ing.
Energy is another necessary element of
success. The energetic man is generally
successful.
Another requisite is bravery. If We
wish to succeed we should be brave or
courageous.
In conclusion, If we as Christians intend
to save others we must be brave, energetic,
patient, and we must sacrifice some time
and occasionally make other sacrifices.
Rev. George F. Danforth of Buffalo will
occupy the pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church during the month of August while
the pastor has his vacation. None of the
services at this very attractive new church
will be omitted.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

A Church in Which Service was Be
ing Held Struck by a Thunder Bolt
no One njured.
GREENvILLE, Pa, July 26.-This morn
ing while Rev. J. c. Sculler was delivering
his sermon in the United Presbyterian
church, sudden storm arose and the high
steeple was struck and badly shattered by
thunder bolt. There were over three
hundred people in the church and panic
followed that was only quelled by the pas
tor and other cool heads. Many of the
women screamed and tainted when the
binding flash was followed by the cresk-
ing of the steeple, but outside of several
slight shocks no one was injured. The
congregation then joined in a prayer of
thanksgiving for the marvellous escape
and were dismissed with tremulous
benediction

Yesterday.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 26.-At s:29 p.
m. considerable shock of earthquake was
felt in this city. There was some alarm,
but SO far no one is reported hurt. No
damage is reported. The populace fed
in alright into the streets. Every open
store in the business center and private
residences were emptied of their occu-
pants. Congregations at all the churches
rushed pell nell into the streets without
waiting for tine benediction. Serious panics
occurred at several churches. At the First
Baptist church a number of children fell
down the steps and were hurt, none dan
gerously
