MOURNING HOUSE

"Has become one of the features OF
the West End of London, so long has it
been established, and so entirely has it
fulfilled its undertakings. The etiquette
of Mourning is continually changing in
certain matters of detail, and reliable
guide to what may and what may not
be worn under certain circumstances is
almost necessary. That guide is to be
found here. There are thousands OF
customers who deal habitually with
Messrs. JAY without wearing mourn

may be seen the masterpieces OF

be found in every tasteful guise. The

the richest in London, ranging as it

The Largest Stationary Engine.

At the Friedensville (Penna.) zinc
mines there is in operation the larg-
est stationary engine in this country,
and probably in the world. During
the last few months it has pumped
dry, by underground drainage, near
ly every ore pit. spring and small
stream within a radius of five miles,
The engine is known as the "Presl-
dent,'' is of 5000 horsepower, and is
run by sixteen boilers. At each rev.
olution of iJs ponderous wheels a.
small stream is thrown out, the num-
Der of gallons raised every minute
being 1880. The driving-wheels
are thirty-five feet in diameter, and
weigh forty tons each. The sweep
rod is forty feet long. The cylinder
is ITO inches in diameter, while the
piston-rod is eighteen inches in diam
eter and makes a ten-foot stroke.
To feed the boilers twenty-eight tons
of coal are required daily.
On the engine is the largest nut in
the world. 1t is hexagonal in shape.
and weighs 1000 pounds. To tight
en- or loosen this nut twenty men are
required, while the wrench that fits it
is twenty feet long.
From the end of the walking-beam
of the engine to the bottom of the
shaft the distance is 800 feet. The
masonry on which the engine rests is
1OS feet deep, some of the founda-
ton stones weighing five tons.

Chauncy Depew's trial and acqnit-
tai by New York jury for having
as a railroad director caused the
death Of several railroad employees
by failing to have the cars properly
equipped for safety, seems to have
given him boom for the republican
gubernatorial nomination in that
State. What queer lot these re-
publicans are anyway? It would,
of course, have been foolish in these
days of purchasab!e men to have
expected that Depew and his MILL
onare associates would be convicted;
because he escaped going to prison
furnishes no good reason why he
should be honored by being nomi-
mated for the governorship of a great
State. The fact that the nomination
will be but an empty honor does
not alter the case.

The National Democratic Com
mittee seeks to have the Demo
CRATES of the country to begin
the most needed and active work
of organizing. The enemy is on
the alert and hard at work. The
only way to fight the Devil is
with fire. The party of the
Money, Devil and high taxes
must be met by counter organi-
ton just as efficient, just as thor
Ough, just as energetic. 1t is
suggested that Democratic socie-
ties be organized every where and
the work begin at once. Itseems
to us that there was never more
need of immediate and earnest
efforts to organize than in this
epochal hour.-Wilmington Mes

The Charleston News and
Courier suggested that the war
between the States be known us
the "War of Southern Indepen-
dence." The name is good and
covers the ground, and if adopted
will do something towards clear
in away the dust and rubbish
thrown upon it by Northern
writer's who call it the ''War of
the Rebellion" The fight with
Great Britain in 1776-'S2 was
the WAR of Independence" as it
is always called by those who
would use a right descriptive
word. The common way is to
speak of il as the Revolutionary
war" But Northern authors
and historical essayists do not
adopt it.

THE SITUATION IN INDIANA

Hon. A. G. Smith, the demo-
cratic Encouragement of 1ndi-
ana, has been interviewed by n
! representative of the Louisville
Courier Jou. nal on the political
situation in that State. "In
Indiana" said Mr.. Smith, cite
democrat tic party has a decided
advantage of the situation, and
instead of being weaker is grow
ing stronger. 1t is not divided
by discussions, and it's leading
men are not at cross purposes
with each other. The tariff issue
will be the great question in the
next campaign, and the demo-
cratic party stands with Grown
Cleveland on the ISSUE On the
other hand, Mr.. Smith says the
Indiana republicans are not a
unit on the tariff question, there
being a strong sentiment among
the masses of that party infavor
of a modified tariff, and a large
per cent, of them in favor Of a
very low one. Mr.. Smith is con-
fident that no republican, not
even President Harrison, can
carry Indiana in 1892. He is
confident ex- Governor Gray will
be the democratic nominee for
Vice-President. ''With Gray upon
the national ticket" said Mr..
Smith, there is no reasonable
hope for republican supremacy
in the Hoosicr State. In fact,
with Cleveland and Gray and the
Australian ballot system the re-
publican party in Indiana will be
bound hand and foot, for every
body knows that under the most
favorable circumstances the re-
publicans have not carried that
State since the war without
Dudleyism and the blocks of
five When they are deprived of
such dishonest methods the silver
urn of their success is broken and
shattered"

The republicans having fixed
upon the latter half of August
for their State convention the
democratic State committee
which meets here this week, is
expected to appoint September
2 for the democratic convention
which will most likely be held in
Harrisburg. The democrats were
hopeful of success before the de-
monstration against Quay; now
they are almost certain they can
win. They are unusually har-
monous, while the republicans
seem to be hopelessly divided

New YORK, July -Four men cleo
trocuted this morning as follows:
James Slocumb, wife murderer, ABS
a. M; Harris A. Smller, wife murder
er, 5:14 "a. m; M. Joseph Wood, ne
gro, 5:3S, and Jugino, the Japanese,
at COG. Warden Brown stated that
all the electrocutions were successful

quietly. The white flag was display
ed over prison after each execution.
Witnesses numbered twelve, had re-
manned in prison over night. Law
yer Haire made his last appeal for
Wood at O'Clock this morning, but
to no avail. Among experts present
were Drs. Southwick and Daniels, of
Buffalo; DR.. Carlas Mcdonald and
Prof. Loudly, of New York.
1t was believed that the electrocu-
tions would take place yesterday
morning, accordingly over so repor-
tiers and. hundreds of other people
have been close to the prison walls
since Sunday afternoon. The four
criminals met their death as Kemm-
Ter met his, submissively and bravely.
They slept last night and breakfast

morning.

Perhaps not since the great cen
tenial celebration of 1876 have
the 4th of July celebrations been
so elaborate and extensive as
they were Saturday last. Nearly
every town and city in the United
States made merry the air with
some demonstrations of Joy, end
pyrotechnic displays were more
numerous and more attractive
than ever. There is one sad
feature, however, about the 18th OF
July celebrations, for a few days
after the air is always resonant
with the report of accidents and
casualties of all kind. The day
just past had it's usual number.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis is perplexed

the question as to which shall

body of her famous husband.
Mississippi says: cit was his

for more than seventy years. In
the. hour of defeat and retirement
he came back to the shelter of my
arms and rested there to the end.
Send him to me; send him home.
l, his mother, say, send back my
son" But Richmond hesets the
bereaved and puzzled widow.
Clear my suit she says, with
the persistence and dignified as
surance that charactorizes the
Virginians, who have long had
the habit of getting things and
are therefore spoilt. "Give ear

''FRENCHY" GUILTY OF MURDEI,

New YORK, July 6.-Ameer Ben
Ali alias "Frenchy," who has been on
trial for the past week for the murder
of Carrie Brown, was late Saturday
night found guilty of murder in the
second degree.
Frenchy, upon being informed of
the nature of the verdict, showed
hardly any emotion
What little he betrayed was that
of relief from apprehension of death.
On leaving the courtroom for the
prison, however, he raised his hand
on high and exclaimed few words
in Arabic to the effect that he was in
nOcent.
His lawyers will probably move for
q new trial.

a young lady in Richmond, Va,
has simple yet highly priced souv-
enire from Jefferson Davis. When
Mr.. Davis was on the eastern shore
he wrote in young girls album a
note addressed to the young lady,
and speaking Of himself as hers and
her fathers friend. Since the death
of Mr.. Davis, the lady has cut the
leaf from the album, framed it in a
pure white mat and painted over it
a dropping Confederate flag. The
effect is both suggestive and impress

News has just reached here of q
horrible cutting ARRAY which occur
red at Moody's distillery, on iona
than's creek in Haywood county,
in which two boys met their death,
Saturday.
1t seems that the boys fathers
were engaged in scufae about the
stillhouse yard, and the urchins
thinking they were fighting, each
made haste to help his father. Dur
ing the melee the boys encountered
each other, and at once began to
carve each other with their pocket
knives, soon rendering each victim
helpless, and reddening the earth
with their hearts blood.
The fathers of the two boys stop
ped scuffling and took the lads in
charge, but not in time to prevent
the fatal cuts which each had receiv-
ed. The boys were carried home al
most unconscious, and both died
within q few hours.
