Modern Cloud CompelIers.
Il. H. P. BLOODwORTH,
Local Secretary,
Atlanta, Ga.

A curious and interesting experiment
was tried early one morning at the Jar
dine discrimination. Some ingenious
person has hit upon scheme for max.
ing artificial clouds for the warming Of
fields and preventing damage to crops
A number of stoves had been placed ter
yards apart around the spot selected,
and when they were Lighted a thick
black smoke was produced. Unfortu.
nately for the success of the experiment,
there was too much wind, and the
"clouds" were dispersed Immediately,
the smoke being blown toward the in
closure occupied by the seals, who did
not seem at all to appreciate it.
1t is said that some experiments car.
ried on in the Gironde were far more
successful, and that the system will be
largely used there to protect the vines.
1t is said that vineyard could be made
two or three degrees warmer. Several
officers attended the experiments yester-
day to see whether the process could be
utilized for military purposes.-Galig

CAMERON, Tex, April 14.-Mr. j. G.
Thompson, who has lived here quite
a number of years and is about so
years old, the father of several chill
dren and has written for the local
press, has for some time been gradual
ly losing his mind, which reached a
climax few nights ago, and resulted
in his becoming so desperate and dan
gerous as to run his family all away
from home. He was tried today for
insanity. Some deep seated constitu-
tional arrangement is doubtless the
cause, and he will probably be an in
mate of the asylum very soon.
Rev. s. j. Brownson, editor of the
Fort Worth Advance, spoke last
night and today on the political issues
from an Alliance point of view. He
is an interesting and forcible speaker.
He belongs to the M. e. church and is
asupernumerary preacher. He claims
to discuss politics as found in the
bible.
Mrs. John Peeler of Austin is here
ON visit to her father-in-law, Rev.
James Peeler, whose wife has been

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 14.-The
grievance of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass conductors will not
reach settlement through any con-
cessions on the part of General Super
intendent Sands, or the receivers, b.
F. Yoakum and J. S. Mcnamara
This fact was made plain today when
the receivers sustained the decision Of
Superintendent Sands upon an appeal
by Grand Chief e. E. Clark of the
order of Railway Conductors.
The final conference today was a
lengthy one. Chief Clark bringing to
bear upon the receivers all the argu-
ment he could formulate urging the
reinstatement of the conductors. The
receivers remained firm, however,
and the grievance committee and
Chief Clark gave up the task, feeling
their defeat keenly. There is con.
siderable talk of a strike being order
ed, but nothing official has been given
out by Mr.. Clark as to what his next
step in the matter will be.

Nebraska Democratic Convention.

OMAHA, Neb., April 14.-In the
Democratic state convention the fight
between Martin and Boyd delega'
tions continued all night. A majority
of the delegates elected are Boyd men.
A resolution instructing for Cleveland
was lost. Gov. Boyd was elected to
head the delegation by unanimous
vote. The platform declares adherence
to the principles of the national DEM
ocratic platform of 1884, and in the
sterling message to congress on the
tariff question by the fearless Demo-
GRAFT, Grover Cleveland, denounces the
Mckinley bill, favors liberal pensions

duced a resolution favoring free coin
age of silver, which was defeated after
stormy debate of two hours by a
vote of 247 to 800.

gardless of past differences upon the
question of railroad regulation, and
realizing that the administration
ring is now trying to deceive the peo-
pie with false issue, to-wit, that the
railroad commission is in danger, we
declare that the question as to the
regulation of railroads In the state by
commission was settled by the peo-
pie by the adoption of the recent
commission amendment. To this
command Of the people it is the duty
of all good citizens to conform in good
faith. We pledge the people that

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
TERRIBLE POWDER MILL EXPLOSION
+, IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Seven Men Instantly Killed and Two Fatally
Injured-The Mill Was Blown to splint-
ers and the Explosion Shook Up the
Country for Forty Miles Around

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April ia
frightful explosion of powder COM
pletely demolished the mills of the
Mosaic Powder company today. The
first explosion was in the drying mill
and fraction of a second later the
storage house blew up. The shocks
were felt over radius of forty miles
and thousands of people in surround
ing towns rushed out of doors think
ing an earthquake had taken place.
Both shocks were distinctly heard
here, twenty miles away. Tho mills
were blown to smallest atoms and
there was no fragment found larger
than a foot long. Seven men were
instantly killed and two fatally in
jured. The dead are John Gibbons,
Daniel Carey, Aaron Coolbaugh,
Moses Tucker, Edward J.. Wander
burg, Allan Small, Caradog Reese.
Fatally wounded: George Allis and
Daniel Billings.
The body of John Gibbons was
blown one hundred and fifty feet into
the air. Caradog Reese was found
sixty feet from the scene of the ex-
plosion. Moses Tucker was found one
hundred and fifty feet away from the
mill. Other bodies were found one
hundred and fifty to two hundred feet
distant The terrible scenes of grief
and anguish duplicate those of the
frightful mine accident. The iron
framework on the Erie and Wyoming
railroad near the scene used as a
spark screen was torn and twisted
like paper. The absolute desolation
of the scene cannot be pictured in
words. The last explosion of these
mills was eighteen years ago, when
several men were also killed. The
loss will reach $50, 1000,

He Knew All About 1t.

The British legation building in Wash.
ington is draped in mourning for the
late Duke of Clarence, but everybody
doesn't seem to know it. Last week when
avisiting delegation was there, two dele.
gates, whether they were from Chicago
or not it is not necessary to state, were
showing each other the town. AS they
passed along Connecticut avenue one OF
them said:
"That big brick over there with the
portico-chere in front of it is the English
legation"

in carefully as tourists do. "It's got

Growing a New Hoof.

A singular condition has developed in
the buffalo herd at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Late in last year the hoof and mouth
disease affected the cattle OF Europe
very seriously, and there were slight
visitations of it in this country. One Of
these was at the Philadelphia Zoo among
the buffalo. Eight of the herd were
isolated. Since then the symptoms OF
this disease have disappeared from all
but one of those isolated. This one.
however, has lost hoof, and is now
hard at work raising anew one, hobbling
around on three legs. This is the only
case on record in America of buffalo
losing hoof and growing new one in
captivity.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 13.-The

reports just received, an Indian i'll
some way connected with the trouble
was murdered, and when the sheriff's
posse visited the scene and surrounded
the Murphy brothers in the noun
tains at night and desperate, fight
occurred. Charles Rhea, a deputy
sheriff, was shot in the head and fatal
ly wounded. He lay on the ground
exposed to the severe weather several
hours, but was found and removed to
a house in the neighborhood. 1t is
reported that death has resulted. AT
last accounts the Murphy faction has
possession of hut and were strongly
fortified and were preparing to resist
capture. Officers will organize
another posse and make an effort to
take them into custody.

ernor that he will not approve or adj
wise any legislation that will take
from the commission law any power
necessary to regulate the railways Of
the state in the interest of the people,
and we declare that the railway COM
mission Is not an issue In this cam
paign.
2. We pledge our adherence to the
time honored principles of the Demo-
cratic party, that all governments
should rest upon the consent of the
governed, to the end that we perpetu-
ate q government of the people, by
the people and for the people.
3. All public offices are public trusts
and the officers are public servants,
who should be held to rigid account
ability to the people for all their
official acts.
A. We believe that the people are
capable of self-government and fully
qualified to elect their public officers,
and believing that official patronage
is one of the growing evils Of the age,
we declare ourselves In favor of an
elective railroad commission, the
members Of which shall be responsible
directly to the people for their official
acts.
5. These fundamental principles
have been violated by the present ad-
mlni-tration. The right Of the people
elect their public officers, charged
with grave duties affecting the public
welfare, has been denied and their APP
pointment by the executive retained
for the purpose of promoting personal
ambition by the exercise of patronage.
Proscriptive and restrictive legisla-
tion has been encouraged to the vast
injury of the material welfare of the
state and In derogation Of that free
dom most conducive to the happiness
and prosperity of the people. Public
office has been vested by the executive
as o personal favor. He has repeated
ly violated the constitution, he has
stirred up strife among the people
and arrayed class against class. He
has appealed to passions and preju-
dices by the methods of the dema-
gogue. He has misused the power of
his high office and attempted to exer-
else undue influence over the legisla-
tive branch of the government. He
has betrayed the trust of the
Democracy, and has proven recreant
to Democratic usages and principles
while masquerading in their garb,
and these we declare to be the true
issues in the pending political cam
paign; and upon them we appeal to
the Democracy of Texas. Knowing
that the Honorable George Clark Of
Waco is Democrat too pure for COR
ruption, too square to betray, too wise
and patriotic to seriously blunder, we
hereby pledge ourselves to give our
hearty support to his candidacy for
nomination and election as governor
of Texas, and earnestly recommend
him to our fellow-countrymen as q
true Democrat, having at heart the
interests Of the whole people.
