The building was valued ST $4,000 and

building was erected CT g cost Of $4,000, and
it contained machinery and material 10 the

the south and west walls was damaged TO
the extent of 500. One ofthe school build-

The brush factory contained considerable

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
The American farmer" said Mr. Cleve-
land in his speech of acceptance Of the Dem
ocratie nomination, =" is listening to delu-
siye story thai fills his mind with visions Of
advantage, while his pocket is being robbed
by the siealthy hand Of high Protection"
This sounds nicely. But is the farmer
listening toa delusive story - Il is the
evidence of statistics that the price Of farm
products has risen, on an average Of 1867
per cent since the passage Of the Mckinley
bin. There is nothing delusive about tbis.
Il is just as certain that farm produce has in
creased in price as it is that sugar has de-
creased in price.
On the other hand, how is " the stealthy
hand Of high Protection" robbing the pocket
Of the American farmer2 The same evil
dence that proves the price Of farm products
to have risen, proves the price Of nearly all
manufactured products 10 have fallen. The
farmer gets more for his wheat and pays less
for his sugar, his nails, his wagons, his car
pets, his shirtings the dresses Of his wife
and children, the household furniture, and
for nearly all that be buys
It Is t-ue that the shortest harvests Of Ea-
rope have had much 10 do with higher
prices Of iarm produce, but they have not
had everything 10 do with it. Reciprocity has
had something TO do with it, and will have
more, and the ike is true as to the increased
duties on produce imported from the British
possessions. The more the American farm
er "flls his mind with visions" Of the two
plain facts that since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill the price Of agricultural products
has increased at the rate Of 1867 per cent,
and the price Of manufactured goods has
fallen at the rate Of s72per cent, the less in

oovsrnor Hanged In Efhgy.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1e.-Colonel H..
Clay King whose sentence for the murder OF
David H. Poston wss oommuted by Gov
ernor Buchanan 10 imprisonment for life.
narrowly averted lynchiDg tonight By being
hustled eoTertly from Memphis Jail, by
order of Judge Dubose, TO the Penitentiary
at Nashville. There King was to have be-
gun his term t.f life imprisonmentto To- morrow
or next day. But the Court, seeing the tenn
per of the people, who had called a mass
meeting 10 night to express INDICATION, and
to hang the Governor in effigy, had King
hustled off to Nashville.
Ii has just been reported that letter rom
ex-President Grover Cleveland 20 the Gov
ernor helped to secure Kings connnta-
ton.
H0I ASSAULTS OK TIE GoyERSoR-
The temper of the people as 10 the Gov
e-nor's act in committing Kings sentence is
fairly reflected in these quotations from an
editorial in the Appeal -Aralaseke:
'Ifthe Governors dissemination Of the
King case is to be taken as precedent, then
we see no reason Why any other criminal
should ever be hanged in Tennessee. King
in cold blood, after careful delibeTstioD, shot
down David H. POston, unarmed
and unsuspecting. II was a high
way assassination, in which the victim was
given no chance to defend himself There
could not have been a murder more heinOus-
with a stroke of his pen, the 6overnor
has given hope TO every murderer in the
jails Of Tennessee. He has rebuked the
jury and made light of the States highest
tribunal of justice, and it now remains for
Kings art TO solve the question Of his
freedom.
TERMKD WORSE IHAS TIE MURDER
The Erelsi,.g SciHtiter says: The Governor
has spit upon the Courts Of the State and
Nation, and held out his hand 70 save an
assassin in whose person was centered, and
upon whose fate depended, the question
whether money and influence in the South
was sufficient TO make distinction between
persons convicted OF cold -blOoded murder
The rescue Of H. Clay King from the gallows
to which all of the Courts Of the country,
after careful review of the evidence, had
condemned him, was crime more damna-
bic even than the murder ofPoston.
'.If Buchanan should be shot down from
behind pillar on the portico Of the Capt.
tol to-day, if King should be slain on his
way to the penitentiary, who shall say that
the gallows would bear fuii?'
These editorials are what aroused the
public TO action and led 10 the immense
mass meeting tonight.
TIE GovEREOR HANGED IN EFFICY.
Affer the rain had subsided tonight a
crowd of people assembled at the corner
Of Main and Madison streets, the most
central point in the city, and, after hang
ing in effigy Governor Buchanan TO tele-
graph pole, set the dummy on fire and
watched it burn. There was no speaking
indulged in.

USIoSTowS, August l3.-This communi-
~ is greatly excited over the sudden death
of Mrs Thomas H. Clingan, of this place.
Mrs. Clingan died from internal hemorrha-
ges which the physicians attending her
claim was caused by terrible fright she re-
ceiyed few days before her death. Some
trouble arose between Mr. Clingan and Full
Ter Pegg oyer young son OF the latter who
was annoying Clingan. Pegg swore re-

ans house when the husband was away,
aud fiourishing a revolver Swore to the
frightened wife she would never see her
husband again, and that when he got
through with him the pieces would not be
worth picking up. Mrs. Clingan was terri

saw her husband coming up the street COW
cred with blood she felt sure Pegg had killed
Clingan AS he had threatened. The woman

MR ?. G. BOWMAN, Chairman Of the
Executive Committee Of the KolD faction
in Alabama, has offered to arbitrate the
issue as TO whether Governor Jones ma
iority was secured by fraud. He propos-
es that Judge Mcclellan, Of the Supreme
Court Of Alabama; ex-Chief Justice
Brickel, and Judge II. a. Sharpe, Of
Birmingham, shall beconsttuted a board
to whom all eyidence regarding frauds
shall be submitted. Their finding shall
be accepted by both Jones and Kolb. Al
ALBANIA has no machinery for contesting
elections, and Mr.. BoWman's proposition
stems fair, in that all three Of the judges
are Jones Democrats. Bowman is willing
TO submit Kolb's case TO Democrats who
can have no reason for reporting against
Jones, except they find him elected BY
the grossest frauds. Still Governor
Jones friends hesitate to submit to arbi-
tration. They have control Of the cleo
ton machinery and their only safety is
in keeping that control and with it the
secrets Of their manipulation Of the vote
Of Alabama. II they should submit this
election to arbitration the Republicans
might want to show up in November.
That would never DO. 1t would show up
the fraudulent Democratic majorities
that have made Alabama Democratic for
twenty years.

funeral services were held at his late resi-
dence. the scene ofthe awful and unnatural
crime of which the deceased was the victim
There were fully 500 persons present and
the procession that accompanied the remains
to the grave was q mile and half in length.
At the inquest held on Saturday facts were
adduced showing the story OF the tragedy
to be even more hideous than that publish
ed. II was developed that the dead man 5
daughters, Jane, Rebecca and Czliie are
almost as much responsible for the death Of
their father as the son, Thomas.
The Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict that
John Morgan was murdered by his son, but
it is thought that the arrest ofJane and Re
becca will follow on charges Of completely,

by the first FIRE from Thonas's revolver

dying. Out of his large estate he lef, the

Strikers Lawless Acts.


BrFFALo, n. Y, Aug. l4.-Shortly befose
? O'Clock this morning three inoendiary fires
were started simultaneously in different
parts of the Lehigh Valley freight yards, at
East Buffalo. The supposition is that these
fires were started by the striking swiichmen.
strike was declared late Friday night
by the switchmen on the Erie. Lehigh Valley
and Buffalo Creek road, who want a 10
hour day and increased wages.
Yesterday mornings incendiary work was
e well-planned and well-executed plot, as
the fires were started where the cars were
thickest. no hydrants from which water
could be obtained, and at a time when the
yards were deserted. Eighteen freight cars.
loaded with merchandise, and two passenger
coaches. together with two Office buildings
were completely destroyed.
The fire attracted large number of rail-
road men to the scene, bat there has been no
other outbreak up to this hour. The police
are now patrOlling the yards and all is quiet.
The damage done viii reach $4,000. No
arrests were made. The fire lasted two
hours.
A train Of Is coal cars standing on
a coal tresile, was started down the incline
and crashed into an engine at the bottom,

me AIabzna Election.

At the election in Aiabama the other day,
It IS said in the news report, there was the
largest vote ever cast It Is even reported
that a large part OF what the southern ehiv-
airy call the .'damniggers' voted In view
Of this extraordinary fact there are several
points about this election that are worthy Of
especial notice.
The "damniggersn who voted, for the
most part voted the Democratic ticket II
is probable that many Of them in other parts
Of the South would be heard from as having
voted on election day if this were the ticket
they voted.
The way il happened in Alabama was that
there were two Democratic tickets in the
field, and neither side feli sure that its ticket
could be elected without some niger
VOTES. Both tickets were white, both were
Democratic, and, OF course. the whole bnsi-
ness was ehivairy. It is reported IN the
news from Alabama that one Of these ehiv-
alry announced 70 the other ehiyalry that
any one who interfered with the -niggers"
that wanted TO vote its ticket would be shot.
" By Gawd, sah,7
From the fact that Alabama cast the larg-
est vote in her history IS a fAirly logical con-
clusion that the -damniggers" were not in
teFfered with TO any extent.
The worthy gentlemen who are just now
exercised with the fear Of a "force" bill,
Federal bsyonets at the polls aud niger
supremacy in the South have reason 10 view
With alarm this Development in Southern
politics. In the case Of Alabama there has
been a threat Of force. If not an actual dis
play oft, If the "damniggers" were not al
lowed TO vote. The 'damniggers' actually
have voted. This would seem to consti-
tuie dangerous radical tendency Of things,
with threats Of all sorts Of dire results, from
what we hear from opponents Of the force
bill.
The two points in the case that are c2icu-
lated to assuage anxiety are that the threats
Of violence came from Southern chivalry
and The "damniggers" voted the Democratic
ticket

Indiana Likely 10 be Republican Ac-
cordlng to Voorhees,.


WAsHINGTos, Aug. Ex-senator VOORHEES,
IS in Washington fresh from Indiana. Speak
ing Of the campaign in that State he said !:
" We will have great battle in Indiana
over the Presidential and Senatorial ques-
tions. The term OF my colleague, Mr.. Tur-
pie, will expire in March next. I think on
the legislative ticket We can safely count on
a majority, but on the Presidency the result
Is not so encouraging. President Harrison
mas many friends in our party, men who
are ordinarily straight on the ticket, but
with Harrison, one of their own fellow citi-
zsns, AZ the head Of the Republican ticket it
would not be safe to predict about Indiana in
the Presidential contest
The advices from New York as to The po-
litical situation there are more and more
encouraging. The talk about divisions in
the Republican ranks is purely an invention
Of the enemy. The party is daily becom-
ing more and more united and impatient to
begin the campaign in the Empire State
The proposed visit of the President to New
York to confer with the leaders has no ref
erence TO harmonIzing anything, but simp-
ly affords an opportunity to see what has
been done and what is necessary to promote
the interests of the party in the Empire
State.
Later in the campaign it is the Presiden is
intention to make tour of the Northwest
ern States. and give the people an opportu-
nitY to see him and hear some of his irimi-
table and pertinent speeches.

How They Did LieI

In letter to the New York Press, con-
cerning the session of Congress just closed,
from Hon. Thomas B. Reed, the following
statements were presented:
want to call your readers attention to
this simple fact, even at the expense of re-
iteration and of being tiresome. We ex-
pended 462. .0O0, 600 dollars the first session
Of the Fifty-frst Congress. We were abus-
ed most roundly therfor. The lowest fig
ures any Democrat can now make for this
Congress is $4,000 600. These figures are
indisputable The moral is indisputable.
Il does sometimes seem a great pity that We
haven't, we Republicans, the power ef vitu-
pera.iOn. We seem 10 have no energy Of
Characterization. Abusing, as the Demo
Gratis have been in the widest language, the
appropriation of sl62, 600 and then sp-
propriating s5i0, 100000 themselves means
two things II means that in the last cam
paign the Democracy were inaccurate, and
that in the present House they have been
detected. II We were in their place and they
in ours, ! fear their language would be more
adequate.
