mains to Dunbar, Pa. Baltimore Tracy,
shot in tho breast, Is still living and
may get well.
Tho details OF tho tragedy arc briefly
rs follows: On Saturday morning a
party OF five tramps, three men and two
boys, arrived in town and ut once 10.
Gated camp OH the river bank at tho
west OF town. They built fire, pro-

and George and James johnson. OF Sag
inaw, Mich, tho latter being brothers
and about twelve and fifteen years old,
respectively.
Shortly niter noon William Z. Tracy,
OF Dunbar, Pa, who had been visiting
in Palatino across tho river, joined the
party on the river bank.
The two Tracys, who are not related,
soon engaged in quarrel that threat.
encd to come to blows. Each had re-
volver, and in their drunken banterings
they drew them and commented upon
their good qualities and fired them into
the air. After time the quarrel was
resumed and the whole party was mixed
up in it. Numerous shots were fired
promiscuously, and two OF them took
effect in William L. Tracy's head The
first shot killed him instantly, the bul.
let passing through his brain, entering
at the right temple.
After the firing number OF men
about the b. $40. yards ran down to the
scene, but all bu. the dead man had
fled. He was found lying on his face
where he had fallen. The other MEN,

fight, and were held by their captors
till the sheriff and his deputies arrived,
who brought them to town ond locked
them up in Jail
An examination OF the prisoners
showed that Baltimore Tracy had
been shot in the left breast, the ball en-.
tering just below the nipple. The man

THE news columns of the Journal yes
terday contained two bits of information
worth emphasizing. One was a cable
dispatch from Swansea, Wales, saying:
ut is stated that owing to the depres-
sion in the British tin-plate trade, re-
sulting from the workings of the Nc
Kinley tariff, the proprietOrs of a
number of the largest tin plate factories
in Wales intend to erect works in Amer
ica." The other was a local item to the
effect that the two largest dealers in
tin in this city are handling carload
lots of American tin plate and report q
rapidly growing demand for it. And it
happens that in each case the head of

A RESULT OF PROTECTION.

The treasurer of one of the leading
companies in this city engaged In the
manufacture of parlor suites and lounges
has given the Journal a statement from
which the following is taken:
We are now buying a plush at COLE cents
that we used to import and pay 81. 10 peryard
for. We recently contracted for four thou
sand yards of silk plush at prices from 70
to 30 cents. American goods. Five years
ago we were cutting German goods costing
81 to Sl.50. and not as satisfactory material.
past year. have brought the price down 10
cents lower than ever known in any cOun-
try. Give us protection, and competition
Will do the rest.
The first plain mohair plush made
from the fibre of the AngOra goat on
power looms was made as an expert
ment in 1882. at Sanford, Me-, by the
Goodall Brothers. 1t was not until 1885
that their enterprise was fully estab-
lished in connection with their woolen-
mills in Maine. Even now hand looms
are used in France and Germany. The
yarn is made chiefly in Bradford, Eng
land, and is taken to ~storehouses jim the
countries above named, from which it
is distributed from house to house,
where a hand loom is set up in the room
where the weaver and his family live.
Since the manufacture of mohair plush
in this country by power looms was es-
tablished. in 1886. the foreign price of
the goods has decreased 80 per cent,
while the quality of the American-made
is so superior TO any other brand that it
has been awarded the preference by the
trade. In connection with the wooden
industries of the firm, this new industry
has built up a large village, where,
twenty-five years ago, there was simply
a mill privilege" Scores of well-paid
workmen have made homes, while the
farmers have a home market such as no
rural community can have that has no

MUST BECOME AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Foreigners Who Wish TO Work in Navy.Yards
Should Take Out Naturalization Papers.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The Times has
this from its Washington correspondents:
There is patriotism in the Office of the
Secretary of the Navy. That official has
declared hat none but American citizens
shall be appointed to places at the different
navy-yards. and the foreign born men who
have found positions in the governmental
institutions within control of the Navy
Department must either become natural
lied or declare their intention of taking
out papers. The determination of the Sec
rotary grew out of an interesting incident
that happened at the New York nsvy-yard.
Naval Constructor Fernald, in charge
of the construction department. of that
yard, recently recommended the appoint
ment of three ughtsmen who seemed to
I'LL the requirements of the service. and
they were approved by the Secretary. One
of the three men appointed on Mr.. Fer
maids reco ~mmendatIon was an English
man. His name was Arthur Masters. and
he had been In this country only a little
over n year. The president of the Associa-
ton of American ~Drau2htsmen. who re-
sides in this city, brought the matter TO
the attention of Mr.. Tracy. who directed
that an inquiry be made. liz was found
that Mr.. Masters was not a citizen of the
United States. and the officials at the New
York yard were told To ask his resignation.
and. If he refused. to discharge him immedi-
ately.
The order has gone out generally TO the
effect that employees at the navg-Yards
must be citizens OF this country. In the
case of those who are already in the serv-
ice and who have not become citizens, it
ls likely that they will be allowed time TO

WHILE it appears that the Democracy
of the Northern States, except those
producing silver bullion. and Kansas,
has ceased to stand out for the free
coinage of silver, the Southern Democ-
racy is as strenuous as ever for it-so
much so, in fact, that several States
will send delegations to Chicago hostile
to Mr.. Cleveland, upon the ground that
there can be no free coinage If he should
be elected President. The Southern
States produce no silver, but the people
there seem to be convinced that there
will be more and cheaper money if Con-
gress shall pass a law making 20 cents
worth of silver bullion a legal-tender
dollar for whoever owns the bullion.

example.

A NEW ORLEANS telegram says that
the small vote of the administration
candidate for Governor is due to the
fact that the better element of the
cOlOred voters at the last moment voted
for Foster. the anti-lottery Democratic
candidate, under the impression that
such was the desire of President HarrI-
son. The fact that with a fairer cleo
ton than Louisiana has seen for years,
both Republican candidates for Gov
ernor received only 41.574 votes, While
Foster received 1916. and McEnery,
the lottery Democrat, 49, 06 votes, indi-
Gates that many Republicans must have
voted for Foster. In any event, the re-
suit is death to the Louisiana Lottery
Company when its present charter shall
have expired.

THE latest reports from Kansas are
that the Democrats and Peoples party
will have separate State and electoral
tickets. The younger Democrats and
the Democratic editors are opposed to
the scheme, while those who have
favored it are Mr.. Cleveland's ex-Ofice-
holders. Furthermore, the most pOpu-
lar and able Democrats oppose it. 1t is
also evident that the Peoples party
leaders have relinquished that idea, if
they ever entertained it, since the ALI
ance Representatives in Washington
have generally been taking sides hostile
to the Democratic majority.

DELEGATES to the Democratic State
convention in Illinois, which meets on

vices from Springfield indicate that the

THERE will be three Supreme Judges
to elect next fall and five judges Of the
Appellate Court. 1t is understood that
most if not all the present Republican
incumbents of these judicial positions
will come before the State convention
for denomination. The Democrats nom
mated u of the present Appellate
Judges. Hon. Jephtha d. New, for Su-
preme Judge, and another, Hon. George
L. Reinhard, for Appellate Judge. The
Republicans who will seek a renomina-
tiOn are Judges Robinson, Crumpacker
and Black, and it is highly probable
that the convention will recognize the
propriety of remaining all of them.
In this connection the Journal sug-
gests that those who have the arrange
ment of the order of business in the Re-
publican convention should provide for
the nomination of judges first, in order
that this important part of the work
may not be sighted. In this respect
the Democratic convention set a good
example.

WHAT State is going to present Mr..
Cleveland's name before the Chicago
convention? Certainly not New York,
since, under the unit rule, the delega-
ton from that State cannot be brought
to support him. No doubt some other
delegation can be induced to present his
name, but that would be an unheard-of
proceeding. 1t looks now as If Illinois
would present Palmer, Indiana Gray,
Iowa Boies, Maryland German, New
York Hill. and Ohio Brice. OF course,
Cleveland's name can be gotten before
the convention, but with that array of
candidates he will stand no chance.
