FORTY MEN FROZEN

In an Icy Gale on the New Foundland
Coast-They Were Members of n seal
ing Expedition.
HALIFAX, n. s., March "A dispatch
from ST. Johns, n. T., gives details of a
shocking disaster in New Foundland by
which at least forty lives were lost.
On Saturday last 300 men went out
sealing in boats from Trinity Bay.
While they were on the lookout for
seals the thermometer fell to zero and a
terrific snow storm came on. The sail
ors struggled hard for port, but were
unable to cope with wind, snow, cold
and an angry seq. They had no extra
clothing and their small boats furnished
no shelter. Some were blown far out
TO sea, while others were frozen upon
the ice where they were taking the
seals.
Many died in their boats. Seventeen
Of the sealers were rescued by boats,
which put out from Trinity Bay TO
their assistance. These were found
exhausted and in pitiable plight.
Some of them died before they could be
brought ashore. Thirteen bodies were
found frozen in their boats which were
covered with ice, and had to be cut out.
1t is estimated that fully forty men
must have persisted. Most of those
who were lost were fathers of families.
There is great lamentation along the
shores of Trinity Bay.

The other day it was announced that
the Buffalo Steam Forge Company had
been Obliged to ask for the appoint
ment of a receiver. This establishment
had existed for thirty-two years and Is
said to have produced more car axles
and with fewer "shut downs" than any
other in the country.
Last week also the doors OF the Besse-
mer Steel Works at Troy, n. Y. were
closed for an indefinite period, throw
ing many hundred men out eli employ
ment. 1t is asserted that this suspen-
sion involves the continued idleness OF
the Rensselaer, rail mill Of the same
city.
The latest issue of the Iron Age, a
journal we'll known for its devotion to
the high tariff, contained the following
statement:
s'The wages Of the puddlers in the en-
ploy Of the Chesapeake Nail Works at
Harrisburg, Pa, have been reduced from
81 per dav TO &. 80 per day, taking erect on
the 18th inst The management states that
this reduction is made necessary for time
on account Of the extreme dizziness In the
iron business. On the same day a reduc-
ton in wages varying from TO IL per cent
went into effect at the Central Iron Works,
Harrisburg, Pa.
A dispatch from Plttsburg printed the
other day said;
"As a certain indication of depression in
the iron market, with no indication of an
early Improvement, several OF the manu-
facturers in this city have largely reduced
their forces OF employees. Painters Sons
Il Co. have discharged 80 puddlers; Jones
Il Laughlin have closed 81 pudding fur-
naces and discharged 200 workmen. Other
manufacturers will also reduce their forces
a. an early day"
Referring to the reduction Of wages in
the iron and steel trade, the Independ-
ent Republican Philadelphia Telegraph
says that it did not stand alone, but ex-
tended to all Industrial pursuits, adding:
"There is nobody who knows anything
at all regarding the situation OF labor
who does not know that during the laSt
year and a half workingmen have had
the greatest difficulty in maintaing their
wage rates; that while in some instances
they have done it by striking, or threat
ening to strike, in very many other in
stances they have had to submit to ro-
ductiOn."
As the high tariff advocates have
proved their inability TO increase wages,
they ought at least to do what they can
toward reducing the artificiallX in
creased price Of the necessaries of life
5y helping the Democrats to remove the
most burdensome features of the law
for which the Republicans are respOn
sible.

HARRISON COUNTY, w. VA,
March /, 1892.


March /, 1892.
SIR:-While we are a majority of the
people of West Virginia, all other Oc-
equations combined, and especially a
majority OF the Democratic party,
and are told in every campaign Of
how much we are loved, aud
how they all want to legiSlate
for our interest, we have always OBJ
served that when it comes to divide the
offices, we become "hewers OF wood and
drawers OF water" We'have never in
twenty-nine years had candidate for
Governor Of this State and when we were
a part Of the old warriors this county
furnished the only farmer that ever &C.
cupied the gubernatorial chair.
Why should we always elect lawyer
to the Office OF Governor? He is neither
judicial nor law-making official,
but simply an executive to ad-
minister the laws as he
finds them. We have selected
a man ''to the manor born, though not
a lawyer, is as level headed as any one
that has ever held the helm OF State,
aud in our humble opinion would be as
acceptable to the beople as any man in
the State. We name Col. A. w. Wood
ford OF Lewis county.

DALI ELS CONvENTIO.

Private DALZELL proclaimS that he
wants for himself and his associates of
the rank and file the money in the
United StatesTreasury and all the Offices
high and low, under the government. In
this he deserves commentator for his
frankness as cOGtrasted with the less
sincere protestations OF other huntsmen
who are after preci sely the same game
but are decorously concealing their guns
within their patriotic overcoats. The
Prvate's exact language is: "We must
have assurance dOubly sure that our
pensions will be largely increased and
their adjudication hurried up before
we die. We demand the express pro-
mise of the next President that soldiers
shall be preferred to civilians in FEEDER
al appointments all along the line from
the Cabinet down." He therefore calls
for a convention Of private soldiers at
Minneapolis on the day before the Re-
publican Convention.
This committee will probably have
several delegates from Pennsylvania,
where movement has been started in
behalf Of 10000 veterans, who enlisted
for sixty days, but got no farther than
ParkerSburg. So far as is known not
one was in battle, but after laying down
their arms many of them managed to
get on the pension rolls. They were
ruled out, and new they want in again.
This will open 4 new pension field
should the movement succeed. If these
veterans who enlisted for sixty days
were mustered out without ever having
smelled powder are entitled to pensions
so are that large class of patriotic citi-
zens who thought of going to war but
didn't, for one reason and another. Let
us give everybody fair show!

restraining the election commissioners
from proceeding with the official canvas
of the vote cast in this city ct the recent

Welsh, who alleges that the Australian
ballot law prevented him from enjoying
the secrecy of the ballot as guaranteed by
the Constitution and, therefore. the law is
unconstitutional Welsh AYERS that he is
partially blind and he could not vote
under the Australian system without
distance in marking his ballot. A few days
before election Welsh attacked the
validity of the Australian law by demand
ing of the registrar of votes and the Sec
Rotary of State that he be sfurnished with
ballot to prepare at home. The request
was refused. and the matter was taken be-
fore the Supreme Court, but, OWING TO the
shorrness of the time before the election,
the suit was dismissed without prejudice
