Blown to Atoms by Dynamite.

As in Virginia it is a violation of law in
Maryland to kill fish with dynamite. A
violation of this statute on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland on Monday, of last
week, resulted in a terrible tragedy. -
James Hughes, his son Joseph and Thomas
Pepnypacker, all residing along WOrtOn
creek, Kent county, were in boat. Jas.
Hughes was pulling the boat and Joseph
was sitting on the quarter locating the
schools of fish. Pennypacker was stand
ing up in the stern and bad lighted a
dynamite cartridge, which be was about
to use to destroy the fish which Joseph
Hughes had pointed out to him. Pen
nvpacker thought the fuse of the cart
ridge had gone ont and was about to re-
light it, when suddenly 1t exploded. Jas,
Hughes saw Pennypacker torn to pieces
and drop overheard. His son Joseph fell
HELPLESS to the bottom of the boat. The
stern of the boat was torn to pieces and
quantity of fish in the bottom were
scattered through the air. James Hughes
got home with his injured son. A ply.
Stefan dressed his wounds, several OF
which had been made by fragments OF
Pennypacker's bones, some pieces Of
which remained In Hughes flesh.
Pennypacker had been hshing at Plum
Point. near Werton's creek, for twenty
years, bat had never ased dynamite until
recently. Last year, 1t is said, 5000 was
made by party in that vicinity by catch
ing fish with dynamite. Dynamite fishing
is done at early morn.

Kolb Is a Sleuth.

UPSET JONES ELECTION.

HE WILL MAKE A DETERMINED FIGHT 10
UPSET JONES ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Prominent
Democrats IN Washington freely admit
that the outlook for their party in
Alabama and North Carolina is extremely
discouraging. One of the United States
Senator's from Alabama, speaking not for
publication, remarked to a well known
politician from North Carolina to-day that
unless extraordinary efforts were mace
IN both States Democratic success there
would be n thing of the past
The Kolb fight in ALBANIA is regarded
here as by no means settled. KOlb is a
political sleuth-hound. He openly
charges that he has been defrauded of the
election, and in a manifesto published to
day serves notice that be will make a
fight. He claims the State by 40, 600
majority. The rousing majority of $4,000
for Jones has dwindled down to between
1900 and $1,000.
Pike county, which 1t said went fer
Kolb by about 500, was thrown out, ten
ballot boxes burned and the county
given to Jones by 80 majority. This is
confirming the belief that Kolb really got
a majority of the votes. With KOlb
leading the fight in that State next
November, well informed Democrats feel
decidedly glum and admit that only the
most determined efforts can save the
State.

Oates, sunpressed Report.
1T SAYS FRICK WAS TO STERN AND con-
DENNIS THE wORKINGAIEN.


DENNIS THE woRKINGNIEN.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Mr. Oates report
on the Homestead trouble, which was
suppressed by the full committee on the
ground that it did not cover all the
grounds of the investigation, says that
had Mr.. Frick stated the bottom facts to
the committee they would have agreed
that the proposition to reduce wages was
unsuitable but they took Issue with him
in his conclusions that the tariff did not
cause decline in prices.
Mr.. Oates finds further that the conduct
of the company toward its employees was
kind in many respects. 1t loaned them
money at low rates of interest to bnlld
them homes. and never foreclOsed p
mortgage, but that in the negotiations the
officers did not exercise patience,
indulgence and solIcilude and Mr.. Frick
was too stern, brusque and somewhat
autocratic.
Mr.. Oates is persuaded that il Mr..
Frick had appealed to the reason of the
employees and shown them the state of
the ompany's affairs. the reduction
might have been made and no trouble
would have followed. The Pennsylvania
law contains nothing to prevent Mr.
Frick from employing Plnkerton men as
watchmen at Homestead, but Mr.. Oates
condemns their employment under the
circumstances.
The company did not appeal to the
county or State authorities in the first
instance for protection. Mr.. OATES
agrees that Sheriff McClary IS a very
inefficient officer, but says that had Mr.
Frick aided him and joined in his
appeal to the Governor, instead of
employing Pinke:tOns, the State would
have furnished a sufficient force to have
protected the property.
Mr. Oates condemns as unlawful the
acts Of the wOrkmen in tuning away thu
Sheriff and in hanging in effigy Ne'sr'
Frick and Porter lie says it was the
purpose of the Amalgamated Association
to prevent the employment of non-nnion
men. ana he declares that no organization
has a right to enforce its wishes by
strength and defiance of law. The men
had no legal right to resist the coming OF
the Pnkertons and are answerable to the
Pennsylvania courts.
In conclusion Oates finds that Congress
has no power over the questions involved
The enactment of a satisfactory arbi-
traton law is well nigh impossible. As
to whether Congress has the power to reg
ulate or suppress Pinkertonism, Mr.. Oates
SAYS he has no conclusion to express until
the completion of the investigation, next
session.

For ten days ending Monday, Aug, g, '92.
LYYcHBURG, VA, Aug. 9.-The tenn
perature has continued slightly above the
normal for the season, though 1t has not
been as warm as during the preceding
week except IN the eastern sections of
the State, and few localities it has been
further injurious to the growing crops
and TO pasture lands. The rainfall has
generally been in the nature of local
showers, and light to heavy thunder
storms eastward from Petersburg and
Richmond the reports indicate that nearly
all sections have had good rains, and
crops are improving; also, northward
from Green and Augusta counties. light
to heavy rains have proved very bene-
ficlal, though rather too late to insure
good corn crop; the drOuth continues
severe in the north. central sections and is
becoming severe in Campbell, Bedford,
and adjoining counties, and If rain does
not soon occur the coin crop will DO cut
short and pastures are already badly
burned The sweet potatOe crop IS re-
ported in good condition in the eastern
counties peanuts are improving, but are
small. Apples and peaches are scarce,
but grapes are more plentiful.

over two hours. Quite a numb'r Of
Republicans called on the secretary in
reference to assignments to the different
States as campaign speakers. Mr.
McComas said to-day:
1--WE are very hopeful of carrying New

encouraging every day. | see that the
Democrats are preparing to make "A yigor-
ous contest in some of the West'rl and
Northwestern States. but they VIII be
met with equal vigor. We propose to
hold every State that has heretofore been
Republican. 1t is stated that the
situation in Virginia Is full of hope for
the Republicans. One Of the Repub leans
who visited headquarters said to day
that Virginia has every reason to become
a Republican State, and if the intricacies
of the present election law in that State
can be surmounted, | think we have a
good chance to carry the State Gen,
Malone, BowdeD, and the other leaders
have settled their differences, and Il q
Republican party for the first time in
years is harmonious. Virginia never
did take very kindly to Mr. Cleveland,
and at the last election his majority was
very small, But the great point in favor
of Republican success is the industrial
situation. 1t is a remarkable fact that
within the last few years the enormous
sum of Sl45 000,00O has been invested in
Virginia securities. New railroads Rave
been built, old ones rebuilt, and factories
are springing up in many places based on
a policy of protection"

Bunion Hurt in the Grave.

Recently brakeman on the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad bad leg
badly injured IN a wreck and the limb
was amputated at Schuylkill Haven,
Pa. After the operation had been
performed the patient complained OF
great pain in the injured foot. He said
his bunion panied him so badly that he
could not rest
"Why your leg has been amputated,"
said his wife.
IL know it," he replied, "but that bum
ion hurts me terribly"
1t was finally determined to take a
look at the mangled foot, and it was dis
inferred. The bunion was found resting
tightly against the sides OF the box. The
foot was rearranged and since then the
injured man has not suffered bit Of pain.

The Keelav Institute.

In order to meet the apparent necessity
for closer proximity to the great business
centres and larger cities of the state, the
management Of the Kelley Institute,
heretofore located at Salem, Va, have re-
moved it to Point Breeze, Immediately
adjacent 10 Newport News, on Hampton
Roads. The opportunity for permanent
relief from the liquor and opium habits,
which have been so signally illustrated
in the history of the Institute at Salem,
will be greatly enhanced in its new loca-
ton by reason of the invigOrating ocean
breerss and the opportunities for salt
water bathing, fishing, boating, &c.

Sam Jones on Sam Small.

In letter FROM Madison, Wis, to the
Atlanta GA Journal, Rev Sam P. Jones
writes as follows in regard to Mr.. Sam
Small, his former laborer in eyangelistic
work:
"Politics are getting nightly mixed in
Georgia, and really find them a mixtry
every where in my travels. l am bumfuz-
zled on Sam Small, if all reports have
any foundation. They say Sam has
Jumped from church to church until you
cannot locate him relig.Ously. and now
they charge that from democrat to a
prohibtonist and from prohbitionist
to third party candidate he moves with
grace aud speed. If Sam keeps on he
will be like the dog on the express car.
"a man passing the door of the express car
asked a negro whose dog that was: He
saws Il don't know, sir, and the messenger
don't know and the boss at the office
don't know and the man asked the negro
where the dog was gong 'tie did not
know where he was gwine, and the mes
senger don't know either, and the boss
man at the office he don't know. The dog
gnawed off his tag, and none OF us knows
whose dog he is or where he is gwine'
81 fear sometimes Sam has gnawed his
tag off and nobody knows what he is
or where he is gwne. But Sam will get
some where. If there is no other hole TO
come out of he will come out at the one
he went in at. | like Sam aud l want

A Novel Idea.

The New York Herald has announced
novel plan for the present presiden-
tIal campaign. To the person who most
nearly predicts the popular plurality
of either Cleveland or Harrison. it will
give free trip around the world, paying
all expenses; to the person making the
second best prediction it will provide a
trip to London, Paris and return, and IL e
third best prediction will be rewarded
by trip to London and return. Compe-
titiOn is open to residents of all parts Of
the United states, the only conditions being
that the prediction must be made on a
ballot which is printed in the Herald
every morning. Any one can make as
many predictions as be has ballots.

Why Protection if it Lowers
Prices ?

But you say, if Protective Tariff
lowers prices, why is it that the manu-
tacturer comes to Congress and askS for
Protection Is the manufacturer so short
sighted as as to ask that which will lessen
his protitsf
The answer Is simple; he asks Protec-
ton because without it lie could not es-
tablish or maintain the industry at all
Take the instance of the TIN plate. With
a revenue Tariff of cent pound Ameri-
can capital could not safely venture to
undertake the domestic manufacture, e1s
posed to unrestrained foreign competition,
as. if it did embark in the enterprise, it
was sure to be driven to swift destruction.
Twice within the last quarter of century,
and before the act of 1890 we attempted
to make tin plate under this revenue
duty OF a cent pound, and twice were
we compelled to abandon it.
In 1872 we were paying $l2 box for
foreign tin, Under the stimulus of such
an exorbitant price we undertook its
manufacture in the United States. To
stop this competition the importer lowered
the price IN the American market to 81
box. below the cost of production, and at
once arrested anu ucSllo1 Gu tuO ihuuoiS
in this country. No sooner was this &C
complished than the foreigner again ad-
vanced the price to $40 a bex. Again
American mills started up, and again
prices fell to 81 a box, and our mills
closed. Then, 10 order to prevent any
further effort to revive the industry in
the United States, the importer notified
his American customers that whatever
American tin was offered for, the foreign
article would be furnished % cents less.
And so under a FreeTraderevenue Tariff,
the domestic manufacture of tin plate
was arrested and destroyed and the Ameri-
can market secured to the foreign pro.
ducers. We have now imposed Pro-
tective duty, not for the benefit of the
manufacturers alone, but for the benefit
of the | eople, in the confident belief and
expectation that we will establish this in
dustry in the United States and ultimate
" reduce the price to all the people. APP
