hanged at this place yesterday. There
were fears of an attempt at rescue, but
none was made. He attempted to make
speech, but broke down completely
without saying a word His neck was
broken by the fall and death was pro-
nounced IN seventeen minutes.
Now that Talton Hail has shufiied off
this mortal coil there will be as much
interest conferred in DIR. Marshall Taylor
as there has ever been in any desperate
in the mountain regions of southwest
Virginia and Kentucky. He is as des-
perate and as law1ess man az Talt
ever was. He is now guarded in cell
adjoining to that recently occupied by
Hall, charged with the brutal and
cowardly murder of five people at one
time.
These people were paralytics, Ira Null

and brother. A woman and boy who

Hon. Chas. T. Caldwell, Republic
can candidate for Congress spoke to
fair sized audience at the court
house yesterday afternoon. For
want of time we do not give that
attention to his speech that we 9TH
erwise would. He put himself out
side of his party and its platform,
by declaring himself in favor of the
free coinage of American silver and
tariff reform. He must have for
gotten that he was recently con-
verted to Republication, and be-
lieved he was addressing a Demo
cratic audience. He said one thing
that needs attention and correction
and it was that the last Congress
had cut down the soldiers pension
appropriation 100000, and that
Mr.. Capehart had voted for this re-
duction. He must have boon badly
posted, or else purposely misrepre-
scented the facts, to gull ard fool
soldiers. The truth is, that the late
Congress instead of reducing the
pension appropriation had increas-
ed it s42,OOO,00O over any proceed
ing Congress, making it the largest
pension appropriation ever voted
any Congress.

New YORK. Sept. 5.-The American
Druggist says:
A great many people are giving
themselves unnecessary trouble about
cholera The disease is only formid able
where inadequate means exist for Crap
ping with it, and. in this country we are
fully prepared for it. Deficient and i'm
pure water supply is the primary cause
of its origin III Asia Dirt, ignorance
and warm weather are the principal
transmitters OF the disease In Madras
and Calcutta, India. the writer has seen
large mortality from cholera among
the poorer classes. where unsanitary
conditions prevailed, while Immediately
around them Europeans and natives
who observed ordinary precautions in
food and drink We're wholly free from
the disease. Boiling kills all cholera
germs. and hence it is well. during the
cholera epidemic, to boil all water and
milk. Canned goods are also safe diet
at such time, if used at once
on opening. owing to the boiling
they receive in processing the cans when
being packed, which effectually sterilizes
the contents. While it may be we'll
enough to quarantine the low class of i'm
migrants that have been reaching us
from the infected districts in Russia and
Germany, or shut them out altogether
for time, there is no sense in people be-
ing any more paniclxy here than they
have been in France and Spain, where
the cholera has prevailed more or less
for several years. The visitation is like
ly to be less serious here from the fact
that we are just entering the cooler
months of the year, when cholera germs
are naturally comparatively harmless.
Consumption, diphtheria and typhoid
fever are likely to Stay thousands while
cholera is Staying hundreds, but because
we are familiar with these diseases we
are not afraid of them. Hundreds of
children die in this city every week from
cholera infantum superinduced by. bad
milk, but little thought is given to it.
No person need fear cholera if he exer-
cises ordinary care in diet, cleanliness
and sanitary surroundings.

legs of Oliver. Mrs. Willis and Oliver
fell from the load Willis followed. and
gathering his wife in his arms. placed
the revolver against her head and sent a
bullet crashing into her brain, killing
her instantly. He then disappeared.
Willis was of jealous disposition. and
the relations between him and his wife
have not been of an amiable nature.

SIeasurcs-The Governments Duty.
NEW York. Sept. ga special to The
Times from Bangor. Me-, says that Mr..
Blaine has recently expressed to friend
his views on the clear duty of the gov
ernment in the matter of the cholera
danger. In substance it is to close traf.
fic between the old country, Canada and
the United States to everybody and
everything, save the mails and citizens
of this country now abroad, and to adj
init these only after perfect precaution.
His idea is that there are no need and
can not be commercial relations which
for moment are to be considered in
comparison to safety to life. He wants
everything now ON the water ON the way
from the Old World kept from theland,
and a dlscontinuance of all foreign
railroad traffic across the states.
Then he would have the border DO
Iced to perfection, a rigid examination
of food in all cities and towns, and he
believes that Harrison has the power to
so order by proclamation, and that there
are treaty rights to prevent it.

mo man in this District can say
that Mr.. Capehart has not made a

and was at all times attentive to the

the interests of the old soldiers

holed in the Pension Office, at Wash

work for them many soldiers in this

claims allowed, that have been hung

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept. 5.-There was
a small break in the ranks of the strikes
Sunday evening, but whether they were

Protection Proteetiup.

During the last session of congress
the secretary of agriculture wrote a
letter to the house committee on in
ter state commerce that Governor
Mckinley and some of the other
campaign speakers in the Republi-
can party might find considerable
difficulty in explaining when they
undertake to tell the farmers that
the foreigner pay the taxes under
the Mckinley bill system of protec-
tive tariff. A bill appropriating
$4,000 to English weather bureau
signal display stations on Thunder
bay and and Middle island in Lake
Huron was referred to the agricul-
tural department for suggestions,
and the secretary in his reply point
ed out that while the appropriation
would have been enough could the
government import the submarine
cable required free of duty, as before
the Mckinley act was passed, it
would be now necessary to increase
the appropriation to s23, 500. This
is statement hardly consistent
with the Republican claim that
prices have been reduced under the
tariff, and it will be hard to con-
vince the taxpayers throughout the
country that the tariff does not act
on their purchase just as it does on
that of the government, and that
their bills are increased by it in the
same proportion as the bills of the
government are increased. In the
case of submarine wire, however,
the government would be paying
itself, taking the money out of one
pocket and putting it into another,
but in the case of the private buyer,
the money he pays out over and
above what the natural cost of an
article would be, goes either into
the treasury or into the pockets of
some protected manufacturer, and
the purchaser himself gets no bene-
fit whatever from the protective
tariff unless he happens to belong
to that small class of favored indi-
viduals whose business has been
protected by Republican legislation
at the expense of all the other
people in the country.

stronger with the people of this
