The4cyelone which fell upon Spring
f 4 ~ Ohio, yesterday, with the effect.
as reported, of demolishing more than
one hundred dwelling and injuring a
number of persons, may not have been
a continuance of the similar visitation
which wrecked an excursion steamer
with sad results on Lake Peoria on the
night before, but it seems likely
enough that the one elemental disturb
ance may have produced the atnos-
spheric conditions which made the
other possible. The cause of these de-
sttuctiye storms, however, is a matter
for the scientists. Their effects were
sufficiently deplorable to enlist the ac.
tive sympathies of all the people Of the
stricken States.

II il well known that Darwin harbored
4 curious opinion In regard to the revolu-
ton OF the earth on its axis. He believed
that there was q resisting medium In
space which was gradually retardine the
earth's rotation and consequently length
enIn9 the day. Prof. Stone also enter
tains odd opinions on this subject. He
was first TO notice that Hansen's lunar
tables did not accord with the evidence
respecting the moons movements, de-
rived either from actual observation or
from the study OF ancient eclipses. In
explanation Of this discrepancy Il was
suggested by some noted astronomer
that IL may be apparent only and due 70
the change Of speed In the earth's move
ment.
Delaney has proved that, owing 70 the
movement Of the tidal wave In direction
opposite TO that Of the earth's rotation,
the earth,s rate OF rotation must dimin-
ish, but 20 imperceptibly a. TO be hardly
noticeable, even after the lapse of centu-
ries. Sir George AIRY, who laboredifor
years in going through the same process
Of inquiry, ct first obtained . negative
result, but subsequent Investigation
caused him TO admit that there wai
retardation. Since the last named gentle
man published the results Of his investi-
cations scientists have accepted the doc
trine that the day will increase until II
win be as long a. lunar month";
Prot. Ball, the lear ned Astronomer
Royal" even goes further and assumes
that the solar tide wflI lengthen our day
until It will be equal TO year Of 366 dayl

The false news Of the death of Mr..

the New York agents Of Mr.. Astor,
and even as late as Tuesday afternoon,
when the Associated Press had sent
from London a verification Of its deni,
al of the report, the millionaire's attor-
neys insisted that he was dead. II is

Some fifty years ago a very high En-
glish official died in a fortress at place
that is one OF the centres Of Brahmanic
orthodoxy, and at the moment when the
news OF his death reached the sepoy guard
at the main gate black cat4rushed out OF
it. The guard presented arms to the cat as
salute to the flying spirit of the. powerful
Englishlnan, and the coincidence took 80
firm hold on the locality that up to q
few years ago neither exhortation nor
orders could prevent Hindoo sentry at
that gate from presenting arms to any cat
that passed out at night.

A little Boston girl, according to the
Herald, had for some time wanted dog
Finally, she was taken very ill with pnen-
monia- One day, when she had begun to
get better, she told her mamma how very
much she wanted dog, and begged her
to ask grandpa to buy her one.
Mamma answered that grandpa did moi
like dogs, and probably would not b
willing to buy one. Then, seeing the lit.
tie invalid look sadly disappointed, sht
said;
"Wait till you get we'll, my dear; Their
we will see.n
Oh, no." answered the child, whose
few years had taught her little wisdom
"the sicker | am the more likely he viii

Tie State Supreme Court, in an
opinioi handed down yesterday, has
sustained the decision of the Orphans
Court in tie matter of the appeal of
Benjamin Franklin's heirs, thus dis
missing the appeaI.S In so doing the
Supreme Court has taken occasion
TO make plain the principal that the
administration of private trusts is
inconsistent with the public duties
imposed upon a municipality; which
principal, in connection with the fact
that it was not shown that the city
was authorized by its charter to adj
minister trusts Cor other than public
purposes, was sufficient to determine
she Courts ruling on the question.

A murder case sufficiently unique in
the attending circumstances to hold the
attention Of frivolous Paris for some
days has just closed in that city with
the acquittal of Nine. Raymond, tried
for the killing of her former friend,
Mime Larsimoonne, who had .alienated
her husbands affections. The public
sentiment which justifes killing under
such circumstances when perpetrated
by an injured husband has thus beer
given broader scope and recognition
under French law. and the code o
private vengeance has been made, II
extend to both sexes on an equality
That the precedent thus set will b
respected hereafter there is not tn
least doubt; for, whatever the letterAo

FIREMEN AT NIAGARA FALLS.
Twentieth Annual Convention of the Vol
untecr Companies.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. V, Aug. IL
Pleasant weather attends the stay of the
New York State Volunteer Firemcn here.
The city is gaily decorated, and the visit
ing fremen are being royalty enter
tanned.
The annual report of President Rogers
says that the finances of the association
are better than ever before i'll the history
of the organization. The year has been
marked by wonderful growth i'll mem
bership, So new companies having been
added to the membership roll.
There are 600 delegates to the cOnven-
ton, and thousands of tiremen and visi-
tors are present to take part in the parade
and other festivities.
The programme calls for II three days
session. During to-day the election
of officers will take place. The present
incumbent of the presidency, Charles r.
Rogers, of New York, has held the office
for two years and will retire at the close
of this meeting. The contest for the
office is Il spirited one.
These candidates are most prominently
mentioned: John L. Finn, of Brook Ign;
O. r. Sackett, of Suspension Bridge, and
Peter y. Porter. of Magyar Il Falls. There
are also strong indications of II lively
fight over the next place of meeting.
Schenectady, which made such good
effort last year, is again in the field.

Current Fiction.

A misguided person recently, wh&
was DESTROYS of being cheerful, and
seeking something that would raise his
spirits, and who had, perhaps, in bis
soul laundering after beauty, said that
he could not find in any boobshop or
newsstand a novel or short story of re-
cent date that was not unpleasant in
subject, and did not either end in de-
spair or degradation. Even in the rail
way trains the same discouraging and
altogether dyspeptic papulum was Of
fered to him; the train seemed to be run
by Schopenhauer. Every day a shoal
of fiction is issued, writes Charles Dud-
ley Warner in Harper's Magazine, and
it is nearly all of this character. AL
the young writer's catch this note. We
cannot deny their sincerity. They dc
not yet know by experience that it is
not a cheerful world they have fallen
into, but their attitude to life is that
Of sadness, investigating sadness aided
by microscope. The duty is laid upon
them of studying life as it really is, OF
exposing its weakness and imperfection
it's evil and its ugliness. This study is
usually made without hope. And the
study being always downwards, il
comes to be felt that one cannot be al
together sincere without being sad and
too often coarse.

American Independence.

The genuine American woman fears
neither kings nor queens, as one proved
recently while visiting Wurtemburg
The king of that country, like the
kaiser, is very Indifferent whip, and
while entering the Stuttgart schloss
nearly drove over a lady who was cross
ing the road She, however, with the
sangfroid characteristic of the daugh-
tiers of the west, promptly seized the
horses heads, and told the king in pref
ty strong terms what she thought of
his conduct. The young lady was I'M
aware that she was giving the length
of her tongue to king until the next
day, when she received letter from
one of his majesty's chamberlains beg
ging her acceptance of the royal photo
graph as souvenir of his clumsiness
and her escape.

-Cnarles Philips of Wilmington, Del,
agent for the Wilmington s. Northern,
and Baltimore & Ohio railroads, and the
United States Express Company, has been
missing since July %. Suspicion was not
excited until week afterwards, when an
examination of his accounts revealed a
shortage of $4,000.
A fatal occurrence, costing three lives,
is reported from Limerick A boat with
three persons on board was moored in the
harbor The three turned in and went
to sleep, leaving n fire in the cooking
stove. The fire set the boat ablaze, and
all were burned to DEATH the boat and
cargo also being destroyed.
The ceremony of investing with the pal

of the Roman Catholic peers. The cere-
mony was one of great pomp and impress

Good Roads.

The Columbian exposition would prob
ably afford the best means of dissemin-
ating a knowledge of road building, and
the machinery to be employed, yet Of
fercd to the American people.
Mr.. Albert A. Pope, of Boston, Mass,
has suggested department exclusively
devoted to road machinery, also dis
play of sections of roads, built after the
different methods now in use. Mr.. Pope
has very literally offered the managers
of the exposition quite an amount of
money on his own account to help to es-
tablish such a department. In addition
to all this we would suggest congress
composed of representatives from every
state and territory in the union, who
could meet some time during the expo
sition and consider the best methods of
construction, and take measures toward
securing the cooperation of the ma
tiona1 and state governments in the
matter.
Too much cannot be written on the
subject of good roads. Let every true
son of America who loves advancement
and refinement give the question con-
sideration, and if he cannot give money
for the good of the cause, let him talk
it, write it, agitate it and SO keep it be-
fore the people.

Lives Lost During the Attack
at Oliver Springs.
TROOPS FASTENING TO THE SCENE.

A Battle Between Soldiers and Miners
Expected--1he Forty Guards Within
the StOckades Besieged Many Militia
men Unwilling to Go to the Front.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. II. The
most intense excitement has seized upon
astride of a weakened horse, has been
securing the city all day for men. Small
details have been doing duty trying to
conscript men for service, but almost
without avail.
The total number of men who left last
night did not reach so. Their equipment
was almost mockery of modern war
fare The militiamen evinced no eager
ness to enter the service of the country.
Unwilling soldiers were hauled from I'M
der beds and other points of vantage
where they had taken refuge from con-
scription officers.
Oliver Springs, where the latest out
break has occurred, is a little mining
town in Anderson county. 1t is on the

to the stockade. They demanded the
surrender of the place. Come and take
us, " was the answer sent by Superinten
dent Farris.
Fire was at once opened. Seven hun
dred miners on one side glanced down the
barrels of their wepons, and streaks OF
flame leaped from the muzzles as the
leaden messengers sped toward the block
house The guards manfully answered
and the sharp crack of the rifles struck
terror to the hearts of the assailants.
A flag of truce was run up. Capt. Far.
ris respected it and called to the leader tc
come and talk with him. Both sides restet
on their arms while the wounded were
removed.
1t is impo ssible to say how many of tn
miners We're wounded or killed. Tw'
guards were slightly hurt. Quiet thel
reigned and hurried messages were sen

In the meantime a new company wen

Democratic Savings.

Mr.. Holman's review of the appropria-
tions made during the last session of con-
gress is thus summarized by the New
York Evening Post Und):
AS the New York Tribune has shown, the
record made by the Democrats at this ses-
sion is sufficiently encouraging, savings
amounting to some $40. 900 900 having been
made in those appropriations which it was
possible to reduce Mr.. Holman further
shows, what The Tribune had also pointed
out. that this reduction was accomplished
in the face of the opposition of the Repub-
lican senate.
The eleven regular appropriation bills
as passed by the house reduced the esti-
mates of the administration by $27, S33, 900,
and the senate increased their amount by
SIS, 725, 900 The result was finally that
these bills appropriated $22, 100000 less
than was demanded by the administra-
ton, nearly Sl3, OO0,O 600 less than the senate
desired, and nearly 100000 more than
the house deemed sufficient. The princi-
pal economies effected have been first in
public buildings, no new ones having been
authorized ut this session. The previous
congress authorized the construction of
siXty-eight, much of the expense of which
has had to be provided for by the congress
which has just adjourned.
The last congress, Judge Holman says,
created LOS new salaried offices. costing
annually over $2,0O0.000. This congress
has abolished more offices than it has Gre
ated. except in the District of Columbia,
and while it increased the wages of those
employed in the life saving service. it else
where reduced more salaries than it raised.
There has been a small increase in the
amount appropriated for the judiciary, a
considerable increase in that for the de-
partment of agriculture and new charge
in the subsidy granted to the Worlds fair.
With these exceptions the policy of economy
has on the whole prevailed. If it can be
shown, and The Tribune and Mr.. Holman
concur in holding that it can, that the
Democrats have made an important re-
duction in those appropriations which were
| under their control, that is concrete fact
which is worth a great deal in a political
campaign.

TRUSTS AND PROTECTION.
How Mr.. Burrows Would Abolish Trusts
by Giving Us "British Free Trade"

by Giving Us "British Free Trade"
A doctrine which has found favor with
certain of the protectionists in high prices
is that where manufacturers engaged in
protected industry enter into trust
to raise prices the duty should be abol-
ished and the advantages of protection
thus withdrawn from the offenders. This
remedy, it is openly proclaimed, will
operate to bring the guilty parties to
their senses and compel them to reduce
prices to more reasonable basis by rea-
son of the competition admitted from
abroad by the abolition of the protective
duty. This doctrine has been openly adj
vocated by Hon. Julius c. Burrows, the
leader of the Republican minority on the
ways and means committee in the recent
session of congress.
But what does this mean? Do not Mr..
Burrows and his followers see that their
proposition to crush out trusts by abolish
ing duties gives away the whole case of
protection as it is held and explained by
the latter day school of McKinleyites? The
view of Mckinley, which he is never weary
of reiterating at Republican conventions,
in joint debates and at Chautauqua assem-
blies, is that the protective tariff lays a
tax not upon our own people, but upon the
foreigner.
But if McKinley's view is correct how
can Burrows and his followers do any
damage to our domestic trusts, whose
name is legion, by abolishing duties9
Their proposition to wipe out duties which
serve as protection to trusts is direct
confession that the tariff puts into the
pockets of the domestic manufacturer
profits which he would not otherwise be
able to make. 1t means that the tariff
raises the prices of domestic goods above
what should be their normal level, that it
enables the home manufacturer to plumber
the home consumer, and that the tariff is
thus a tax not only where we use imported
goods, but also where we buy the domestic
product. Alas, how sadly this demolshes
the preposterous claim that the Mckinley
law has reduced the cost of living!
But if Burrows could carry out his idea
where would he land us? Does he not
know that his proposition would mean
British free trade in nearly everything
| that we consume? He evidently does not
permeated our industrial system. A re-
cent publication gives 100 of these as mere
| samples" There are trusts in anthracite
coal and in axes; in barbed wire, boilers,
boots and shoes, borax, brooms, brushes
and buttons, and trusts all the way down
| the alphabet to wood screws, wool hats
| wrapping paper and yellow pine. There
| are, in fact, few important industries left
| in which trusts or combines" of some
sort do not exist. and Mr.. Burrows propo-
sition to wipe them out by wiping out
| their protection would prove the most rad

IT is quite possible that the Worlds
Columbian exposition may derive the
full amount asked for from the govern
ment aid bestowed in the form of SOU
venir half-dollars by disposing of those
unique coins at large profit. Already
the treasurer has received bid of 81,
O0O, 900 for the 100000 half-dollars to
be issued, and very likely he may by jul
dicious management obtain still larger
premium. Under the provisions of the
act of congress he can hardly contract
to sell them outright, for they are to be
paid over for expenses in the construc-
ton of buildings and other preparations
for the fair, on vouchers showing that
the expenses have been incurred, but
there is nothing to prevent him from
exchanging them when received for
other money at any premium that they
may command. They will be genuine
souvenirs of the great celebration; they
will be limited in number to one in about
thirteen of the population of the United
States.
