The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-04-06

BALTIMORE, April 6.-Rev. J. J. G..
Webster, presiding elder of the East
Baltimore district of the Methodist
Episcopal church, has disappeared from
his home, and all efforts to locate him
by friends and police have thus far
proved fruitless. Rev. Mr.. Webster, a
father-in-law and widower, made an
engagement to marry next fall young
woman of this city. lie became sud-
denly and seriously sick just after the
close of the Methodist church conference
held here a few weeks ago. His Physi-
clans prescribed change Of scene and
air, and, his affianced expressing de-
sire to be his nurse, it was arranged by
the two families that marriage should
take place. The ceremony was duly
performed, ana now the people are as
founded by the announcement of the
disappearance of the reverend gentle
man,

A CAROLINA DEsPERADo.
He Has Killed -Four of the Ten Named
as His Victims.

MURPHY, N. c., April 6.-Bill Muir
ply, Tellico mountain desperate, has
declared his intention to kill ten men,
and has already made good start in
that direction. Recently his brother
George married daughter of an enemy
of the family and during quarrel over
the matter Bill shot his brother dead.
Frank Medlin. brother of the dead mans
wife, gave the body burial, and on last
Wednesday he was shot dead from am
bush.
A moment later bill Murphy sprang
out into the road and threatened death
to any one that should touch the body.
1t was about to be mutilated by hogs
and Mr.. Morse and wife approached to
guard it, when Murphy fired, hitting
Mrs. Morse, and she is supposed to be
dying.
On Wednesday night Murphy went to
the house of man named Bailey and
demanded lodging. Bailey hesitated,
and Murphy shot him In the right
shoulder. Murphy heard that Ben
Martin had been criticizing his conduct,
and yesterday, armed with his Win
chester, he found Martin at work in his
field and shot him dead.

York, Pa, April 6.-The store and
dwelling of w. W. Graham, postmaster
at Winterstown, this county, was de-
stroyed by fire at o'clock in the morn
ing. Mr.. Graham and his wife barely
escaped with their lives. His stock Of
merchandise and all his household eff
fects, as well as the mail and stamps,
We're destroyed. The fire was of incen-
diary origin, as the back door Of the
store room was found open and saturated
with oil. Mr.. Graham some time ago
received an anonymous letter informing
him that his place would be laid in
ashes this year.

OPPOSING SENATOR HILL.
Enthusiastic Supporters of Cleveland in
Mass Meeting at Buffalo.

AAsob NASSliiLB at
BUFFALO, April Ga large and en-
thusiastic meeting of anti-Hill Demo-
Gratis was held in Music hall last night.
The great hall was packed, The Dem
ocratic clubs were out in force. Their
transparencies were, Hill is not in it,
mo SNOWFALL conventions for us" and
other like notices.
Resolutions were adopted reaffirming
loyalty to the Deliberate principles and
to the Democratic party and condemn
ing the acts of the politicians who had
attempted to "disfranchise the great
Democratic majority" ratitying the call
of the Syracue convention, and disclaim-
ing and repudiating any intention or
desire to disrupt or otherwise injure the
Democratic party.
The final resolution reads: "What-
ever may have been the estimation in
which Senator Hill has been held in the
past by the Democrats Of the state it is
now evident that the course that he has
pursued with reference to the vital is
sues of tariff reform and honest money;
his unscrupulous political methods in
this state since last November; his I'M
seemly and disgraceful efforts to obtain
the presidential nomination, and his
continued and contemptuous neglect of
senatorial duty have estranged from his
support nine-tenths of the Democratic
voters in the state, and his nomination,
or the nomination of any man supposed
to be subject to his influence or control,
would result in the Overwhelming de-
feat Of the national ticket in the state"
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-04-06

ton presents an objection which would
require very careful deliberation. The
scheme of the original act is not a novel
one in the state of New Jersey.
sit is plain that the members of the
legislature considered that they were, in
passing this bill, pursuing the settled
policy of the state, which has been to
encourage rather than to discourage the
consolidation of railroad corporations
having common interest in travel and
business. A careful examination of the
acts fails to disclose any authority con-
ferred by it which would authorize or
assist any combination to control the
necessaries of life. There is nothing
which authorizes control of prices by
the corporations beyond the natural rule
of supply and demand"
The &C Jernor adds that experience
does not show that an increase in the
prices of an article transported is a
natural result of railroad consolidation,
where there are other railroad facilities
Only combinations Of all the railroads
carrying coal across the state might &C.
casion such a result.
Hurried Legislative Action.
The governor then refers to the hur-
ried passage of the bill and the impossi-
bility for the legislature to weigh its
facts fully. He further says that it is
evident that the bill being passed in the
closing hours of the session the men,
bers looked to him before approving it
to see that the interests of the people
were protected. With this view he has
made an exhaustive examination. He
is satisfied that there was no intention
under the bill to increase the cost of
coal in New Jersey, whatever might be
fhn effapt nlcaUrhara Euaf, if fhn,.a
the bill protected the public, as it pro-
vided for amendment or repeal This,
however, might necessitate the calling
of the legislature in extra session, and
he would not care to leave legislation in
such a shape. 1t would give rise to
various embarrassments and expenses.
The People Should Benefit.
He adds that the wisdom of legisla-
tive protection for the consumer has
impressed itself on him by the advance
in the market price of coal since the
passage of this act. The officials of the
companies have even asserted that there
has been no agreement to prevent fur
ther advance and that they could not
make any such an agreement.
Attention is called to the fact that the
combination of roads will reduce the
cost of transportation for the coal com
panies, and that this reduction is to be
the direct outcome of the privileges
granted by the state, which means the
people, wherefore the saving ought to
belong in part to the people. The bill
does not provide for this. Such a con-
tract was expected. The governor, how
ever, thinks that legislative approval
would be necessary for the validity of
any such contract, and without any
such stipulation SO approved it would
be unwise to confer the powers sought
by the bill. He therefore disapproyes it.

Terrific Explosion at Russian Powder
Factory-The Building obliterated.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 6.-This city
was thrown into state of the most in
tense excitement by most terrific ex-
plosion. So much has been heard here
lately Of the fendish work of anarchists
that for time every one believed that
they had attempted to destroy some of
the public buildings. 1t was soon
learned, however, that the explosion
was due to an accident at the state fac
tory for the manufacture of smokeless
powder, where in some unknown man
ner five tons of gun cotton had exploded.
The shock of the explosion was tre-
mendous. The whole city was shaken,
and houses swayed on their foundations
as though from the effects of an earth
quake.
The building in which the gun cotton
had been stored is nowhere to be seen.
1t was blown into splinters. The ad-
joining factories were greatly damaged,
and five workmen in them were injured.
Houses n mile and quarter away from
the scene were made to oscillate by the
shock of the explosion.
Nine workmen were in the building
when, the explosion took place, and
every one of them was blown to pieces.
A search was made for the remnants of
their bodies, and some of their limbs
were found 250 yards away from the
building. There is no possible way of
ascertaining how the explosion occurred,
as every man in the gun cotton building
is dead. 1t is thought, however, that it
was due to carelessness.
