Saved From Destruction.

Two of the members of the Lakeside social club of Wallingford, were near the Wallingford depot last Friday even ing when they discovered disconsolate looking individual standing by the rail road, who when accosted announced his determination of ending his sufferings by suicide. The man, who was evident ly a tramp, stated that he was nearly starved and was unable to procure work. He was taken down to Commu- nity lake and given a liberal feed from the ample supply of provisions that are always on hand for the night workers, and was then set to work harvesting ice. Since that night he has been a steady worker and, contrary to the usual run of the knights of tho road. persistently refuses every offer of liquor or any kind offered him and is one of the happiest and best natured men at tbe lake,

 Remarks at Columbus.
 TOLEDO, O., Feb. 13-At the Lincoln commemoration exercises last evening MT. Mckinley began his speech with a reference to Mr. Cleveland's remarks at the Thurman banquet. 1t is worth something," said MT. Mckinley, ''in the discussion of economic questions to have an avowal from our political opponents of the real meaning and effect of their economic theories.
 ''It is always we'll in political contro- versy to understand one another. It was therefore gratifying to the friends of protection to have that emi' .cnt Democratic leader from the State of |ew York make open confession of the Dur- poses which he and his associates aim to accomplish.
 "Assigned to respond to the inspiring sentiment, American Citizenship he made 'cheapness' the theme of his dis course and counted it among the hig aspirations of American life. His avowal is only that which protectio.,sts have always claimed to be the iue"ita- ble tendency of his tariff policy, which exalts cheap goods from abroad above good wages at home.'

They had l cen closed down for two weeks, while the boilers were being overhauled and refit ted. Operations were to have been esumed and about 300 of the operatives were on hand, but owing to some cause the ma chinery was not started and they were dismissed. Most of them went back to their homes, but many remained about the building, a number keeping in the vicinity of the engine room for the sake of the warmth.
 The explosion came without mo- ment'S warning. The report WITS heard all over the city, and an enormous crowd soon gathered at the scene of the ruin. The work of rescue began at once, the fire brigade being summoned to as sist.

TEMPERED COPPER.
An Accidental Discovery Which
 Will Prove of Great NnIue.

An Accidental Discovery Which
 Win Prove of Great Value.
 Elihue Moulthrop of North East, Pa, who is visiting friends Tn the Nauga- tuck valley, has with him some samples of tempered copper that are a novelty in this vicinity. Until the accidental discovery, little more than year ago, the tempering of copper Was classe d among the lost arts. but two Pennsyl- vania mechanics. while engaged in their regular vocation, one a blacksmith and the other caster, almost at the same time stumbled upon the art of casting and tempering pure copper. On con- pairing notes they became convinced that they had a good thing and set about finding a capitalist who would furnish the sinews of war. After eX- periments they produced a line of sam ples and finally succeeded in forming a company with capital of $300,00 and have established good business in one years time.
 Many persons doubt the possibility of tempering pure copper, but the analyses made by eminent metalurgists in Penn sylvania seem to establish beyond doubt that this has been done by the jn- ventor of the process. The process of preparing the metal is said to be very simple and is done by the inventor him. self in few moments at certain stage of the melting of the ore, all the work men being excluded from the casting shop while the preparation is being done. The tempering is also done by the in- ventor personally in a closed room, no other person being allowed to view the process,

The hall was crowded and the soloists fully sustained the good i'm pression created on the previous nights. This evening Madame Favart" will be sung. This is probably the company's best attraction. ''The Bohemian Girr' will be given at the matinee tomorrow.

It has an interesting story, telling in the course of unraveling the plot the love of a colonel in the union forces for fair southern girl, and the trials and difficult ties both encounter in their efforts to be- come better acquainted with each other. The plot is founded on the scene of and on incidents that happened about the famous Libby prison during the war.

Say, John, are you a judge of pianos?
 We'll now, Petera really that is laugh able: why do You aske
 We'll, you see, Susie, the pet of our house, is seven years old, and wife and have been thinging that as she is not very strong it would be the proper thing to give her musical education. You know, John, when you and were children attention was not so much in that direction and it was not considered so much of uualifica- ton as at present, so I don't wonder in the least at the look of surprise that crosses your face. But really, John, your wife asked me to bring up the subject to you as your Bessie is getting to be the right age for piano, as we'll; and she was of the opinion that if we should decide to both buy at once that Shoninger would give us discount, | understand they are very reasonable with honest people who desire piano, and being honest themselves that firm would >be the best to patronize. What do you thinks
 Why, Peter, l have been thinking for some time on the sane subject, and I stepped into the store this morning and requested Mir Pelham to give me list of names comprising recent purchasers He very kindly and must say little proudly acceded to my request by bringing forth list of names, that fairly astonished me. Examine it. John, perusing) Whew, but that IS surely sumner. If those people who are judges have decided for the Shoninger piano we ought to commence the year right by doing likewise.
 To Shoningers We will go looking for the best the market affords, at the lowest i possible prcies.
 l B. SHONINGER & co, Geo L. Pelham, Manager. ! We submit the list of purchasers given to Peter, made during the last three months, honor bright, and ask our com petitors to beat it if they can.

His l.ifclcss Body Found in a Brook
 street saloon.
 The dead body of Joseph King, aged 24, was found in rear room of Frank Richetti's saloon on Brook street, about 9 o'clock last night.

Yesterday he drank considerably and early in the evening retired to the back room and fell asleep with his head resting upon a card table An hour later he was found dead.

The mother and brother of the unfortunate young man live on North Elm street. He had not lived with the family for several months owing to his irregular habits.
 Deputy Coroner Pond was notified of the death, but deemed an inquest un- necessary and will not make an investi- gation, there being no suspicious or evl- dence of foul play.
