An Unprecedented Calamity.

RICHMOND, Va, July 21.-During .
terrific rain and electrical storm most
appalling and Unprecedented calamity
occurred here in the instant death by
lightning of an entire family of five
persons. They were all asleep in their
two-story residence, situated about
n quarter of mile beyond the eastern
corporate limits of the city, when tho
fatal electric fluid struck them.
The bedroom was in the upper story,
the building was isolated and the win
dows were raised. The tragedy was
discovered by fire issuing from the roof,
and when willing hands attempted to
aid the family the flesh peeled from
their scorched and inanimate bodies.
The names and ages of the deceased
are as follows: Dale Emmett. 81 wears;
Alice Emmett, 81; Lille Emmett, 5;
Norman Emmett, 3 years, and n seven
month-old infant not yet named.
When the rescuers reached the room by
ladders the scene which met their gaze
was ghastly one. In n bed lay Mr..
Emmett, his wife and sevcn-month-old
babe, while near by were smoldering
the remains of his seven and five-year-

Before leaving the capitol Mr.. Pattison
introduced bill to promote commerce

bill should become n law il would
give the several million policy-holders

All expenses of the entire bureau. in

assets. In this respect it is modelled
after the New York state law. 1t also
provides for uniform system of re-

In 1888 Lord Clare said of the con-
dition of Ireland: There is not "a
civilized nation on the face of the habi-
table globe which had advanced in cul-
tivating, in agriculture aud in manu-
facturSs with the same rapidity in the
same period as had Ireland" Such
statement was made seventeen years
before England got possession of Ire
land. What is the Ireland of to-day
after nearly century of British tariff
legislation? She has not n manufacture
ing industry worthy of the name, her
people forced to depend solely upon the
soil for subsistence, and periodically
dependent upon the worlds charity TO
keep them from starvation. and her
population reduced to half what il was
before she came under the accursed
system.
The late Mr.. Parnell, whose farsee-
ing craftsmanship and political sagac-
ity brought this country from utter
hopelessness to the very verge of the
liberty it had sought so long and vainly,
keenly realized the vital necessity OF
protection to Ireland's well being. Said
he, as reported in the weekly edition of
the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Au-
gust -, 1855:
This question OF the protection OF the indus
tries of Ireland is one OF vital Importance for
the nation. We have to consider the interest OF
the artisans OF the towns and OF the Ia borers in
the country, and, as have already stated, IL is
my firm belief that IL will be impossible for us
to keep this great portion OF tho laboring classes

luires the utmost exertion on all our parts to

The one great unanswered and un-

men have done for centuries in the

No arms or clubs were displayed, but
the situation looked serious for a time.
One of the new men made n show of re-

cooler heads prevented disturbance
and the new men were finally induced

An old employee tried to enter the

HUNGARIAN STRIKERS
SHOT Dawn by Gentarmes-Thcy Demand
Higher Wages.


Higher Wages.
PESru, July 20-A band of $50 reap
erS men and women, employed ut Be
bar, Hungary, struck Tuesday for an
Increase in their wages. When their
demands We're refused they seized q
wagon loaded with corn, declaring that
that would be fair share of
the profits. The farmer who had hired
the reapers, and who saw
he could not prevent their taking
any thing they pleased, summoned the
gendarmes to restore order and get
back his property. The gendarmes
were soon at the scene of the disturb
ance, but their presence at first did not
brighten the strikers, who were becom-
ing more riotous in their demonstra-
tions. They threatened to burn the
farmers house about his ears and to
lay waste his fields if he did not comply
with their demands. They even went
so far as to threaten the gendarmes if
they interfere6.
Finally the outlook became so serious
that the inspectors commanding the
gendarmes saw that prompt and heroic
measures must be taken if order was to
be restored. He gave the command to
fire to his men, and they promptly
obeyed and poured volley into the
riotous reapers. In the meantime one
of the strikers who was standing in n
group of several others, near their in
spector, drew knife and stabbed him.
The mob showed no disposition TO dis
perse after they had been fired upon,
and the gcndarInes, who were armed
with Mannicher rifles, fired volley after
volley into them until forty-two rounds
We're discharged. Twelve men and
women were killed, and many were
wounded before the mob was driven
from the place.
The strikers, fortunately for them
selves, were scattered about the field,

Higher Wages for Agricultural Labor In
Manufacturing Sections.

A report just issued by the secretary
OF agriculture relative TO the compensa-
ton of laborers on farms in different
sections of the United States draws an
interesting comparison between the
wages of such laborers in sections ex-
clusively devoted TO agriculture and
those in which manufacturing indus
tries have also been established. From
this report we learn that the average
monthly wages of farm labor at tho
present time are as follows:

We have eliminated the Pacific states
from this comparison because of alb
normal conditions. such as the extreme
scarcity OF labor, existing in those com
monwealths. Considering the sections
given in our tasle, we find that wages
are highest In the Eastern states, which
are essentially manufacturing commu-

and western states, wages gradually
fall, being lowest in the south. the sec
