Killed by a Bridge.

A brakeman by the name of Gay was
killed near the Cowpasture river, a few
miles east of this place about o'clock
on Sunday morning last, by being struck
by a bridge. The train was double
header" and was running very fast. 1t
is supposed that, owing to the dense>
ness and quantity of smoke emitted by
the two engines, he was unable to see
the bridge before reaching it. A singular
circumstance connected with the acct
dent is that though the blow was suffi-
cient to cut heavy cash in his forehead
and to cause death, he was not knocked
off the car; nor was it known that he
had been hurt until some one noticed
blood falling from the car after the train
had reached Clifton Forge.
The deceased was married, and lived
at Charlottesville, where his remains
were taken Sunday afternoon. He was
a brother of Mr.. c. S. Gay, of this place.

The above goes to show what can be
accomplished in our Virginia mines, and
there are no doubt hundreds of spots
where similar results can be obtained by
the same foresight, energy and business
sagacity which have characterized the
management of this one. Mr.. Cook
foresaw what possibilities lay before him,
and he made nse of an opportunity
which he has had no occasion to regret,
and has achieved success of which
he is justly proud, and upon which
everyone interested in Virginia's devel
opment, congratulates him.
NOTES
The business of the Princess is ef1ici-
entity managed by Mr. T. D. Kauffelt,
who, with his interesting family resides
in the mansion upon a beautiful eleva-
ton looking out upon q scene as lovely as
is to be found anywhere in Virginia. He
is ably assisted by Mr. NJ ErBoyer who
has charge of all the o.ice work; Mr..
Ruhl, of the mining department; Mr..
jacob hunK1e, WHO naS charge Oh Uue
furnace, and Capt. Henry Douthat of the
store.
Not less than four and a half miles of
track have been laid around the furnace
and mines.
A force of about 800 men is employed
at the furnace and mines, and goouly
sum is dispensed every month.
One among the first things Mr.. Cook
did when he began the improvements
at Glen Wilton, was to erect d church
upon his property at his own expense.
l: stands at the foot of the large grounds
in front of the mansion, and is under the
management of the Presbyterian
church. He has, also, lately, lent con-
siderable aid toward the erection of a
colored church in the neighborhood.
The present indications are that but
little third grade iron will be made by
the furnace hereafter and that it will
all be first Or second grade.

sample of ''American tin.platc.'
Now if Mr.. Neidringhaus will eX.
plain why he imports foreign labor.
ers to take the place of resident citi-
zers we will afford him space for dis
cussing the ''Ameticaa tin-plate"
industry. Mr.. Neidringhaus is c
very picturesque statesman who
manages to keep himself before the
public in various ways. His tin.
plate industry has proved a good adj
vertising card, but, unfortunately
for the patriot and statesman, he has
not yet been able 10 convince the pub
lie chat his tin.plate plant is anything
more than an advertising scheme.
As a member of congress he voted
for the Mckinley tariff bill, and the
people who purchase tin-ware are
compelled TO pay more row for the
same than before the bill became q
law. Mr.. Ncidringhaus would have
us believe that this law is greatly TO
the interest Of Americas WOrkmcn,
and yet 4 due regard for the truth
colnpcls us TO state that he is today
importing his workmcn from England
and Wales. We are not able TO sec
how this benefits American labor.

the reason why Mr.. N~cidtinghaus is

worlimen. But for the republican
idea OF protection there would not be

terprise would have TO 60 to a for

DEMOCRATIC INCOME TAN.

What sort Of al income tax do the
democrats of Ohio want? j. II
They don't know, nor does any
body else. The graded income tax
which they demand means a rate Of
tax which increases with the income,
but they said nothing about the size
of the rate, and they leave the coun-
try in doubt as to whether they want
the tax TO begin with incomes of So.
600 or start with those of 5000.
&C. d.
The above query and answer will
serve to illustrate the duplex posi-
ton of the democratic party on every
other question affecting the welfare
Of the American people. In II end
of the country the democratic orator
is trying to prove that the democratic
| party is not in favor of free trade,
while in another section the advo-
cacy of free trade is heard on every
hand. In their party platforms they
pass ringing resolutions favoring the
pensioniug of the old union soldier,
while from the rostrum in different
sections of the country, and in the
press, they arc stigmatized as ''pret.
orian guards" TREASURY hooters"
etc. They advocate free coinage in
their platforms and vote against it in
the national house of representatives
and by their votes defeat what they
pretend to favor. The democratic
party has no principles. 1t talks
about Jeffersonian democracy and
there it stops. 1t pretend3 TO favor
an income tax but has not the cour-
age to say whether it shall be on an
income of one dollar Or on one hun.
drcd thousand dollars, 1t pretcnd5
10 favor I tariff for revenue only
which may mean much or nothing.
1t favorS free trade as q matter of
fact, but is afraid to say 50. 1t is
opposed to pensions, but is afraid to
say so. The democratic party is q
sly old fox, but not quite sly enough.
