Causes a Fatal Gas Explosion at Kinder
son, Indiana.
ANDERSON, Oct. 20.-Au explosion of
natural gas occurred at Platter's pump
factory Wednesday morning. The pipe
sprung a leak i'll the night, and Frank
Platter, the bookkeeper, was the first to
arrive in the morning. Il being not ye.
light enough to work he thought he
would light gas jet and struck a
match. A binding fash and terrific
reDort told that gas had again done its
deadly work. Platter is so badly h4Yned
that he will not recover, no one else
was injured. The loss on the building
will aggregate $4,000.

THE ,ICmIGAN LAW SUSTAINED

THE MICHIGAN LAW SUSTAINED.
Cleveland and Steven ON viii GER
tainly re ,eive part of Michigan
electoral vote, probably a majority
of it. This follows from tie opinion
Of the L. :. Supreme Court yester-
day sustaining the famous Miner
law of that State, upon which adJu-
dIcation has been pending for son e
time.
Under the constitution of the UNI
led States, each State has the power
Ia prescribe the manner of holding
the elections for President Of the
Nation. The only restriction is that
every voter qualified to vote Tor
members of the popular branch oil
the State legislature shall be allowed
90 cast his ballot for President.
The legislature of Michigan last
year was Democratic, and they con-
cIuded to change the usual manner
of voting for elections, so that their
nartv would secure some members oil
the Electoral College. Acting upon
t,is determination, they divided the
state into districts, each of which
elects its ElectOr without reference
TO the .ntire state. The districts
were SO laid Off that a majority OF
them are Democratic. The Republi-
caus attacked the constitutionality
of the law.
The Republican Supreme Court OF
of the State decided against the
Democrats. The case was then
appealed to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and it has just de-
clared the law constitutional.
This marks a new era in the man
ner of choosing Electors. Other
states will certainly follow Michi-
gan's examTle, and we may look 10
see, before many years, all Electors
chosen by districts instead OF states
This will result in favor of the Demo.

A Gallant Irish Boy.

The biographer of General Crawford
tells the following story: During We'll
lington's campaign in the Peninsula, the
Light division was defeated by the
French under Marshal Ney, and forced
to retreat across a river. A young SOL
der from the north OF Ireland, named
Stewart, was niclxnaned The Boy" as
he was only nineteen years of age and
of gigantic stature.
He had fought bravely, and was one
of the last men who came down to the
bridge, over which the division was re-
treating. He refused to pass over, but
gazing at the French with a grim look.
said in loud voice:
$50 this is the end of our boastingl
Thiyis our first battle. and We retreatl
The Boy Stewart will not live to hear
that said"
Striding forward, he fell upon the ad-
