COLUMBUS, O., August pa paragraph
in newspaper discovered to Mrs: D. n.
Clifton, of Springfield, Mass, to-day her
long lost son Archie Clifton, a prisoner in
the Ohio State penitentiary.
When he was IL years old, Archie ran
away from home and his parents had not
heard from him since. He is now 20. Mrs.
Clifton was visiting in Dayton, Ohio, and
paragraph in q Columbus newspaper tell
ing of an accident to prisoner here. Mol
ten metal spilled upon his foot burning him
badly. The name was that OF her son. She
came here to-day and visiting the hospital
found as suspected that the prisoner was
her son. He was received in July 1881 on
a year and half sentence for burglary.
The meeting was very affecting one. In
another month Clifton would nave been a
free man, and his family probably never
would have known he was prisoner.

Orders were issued at military head

Another serious case OF shooting by
the military occurred to-day. Michael
Broderick, a boy aged II, was throwing
stones at some of the soldiers of the 22d
regiment. He was ordered by the guard
to stop but continued. Then some OF
the soldiers started to capture him but
he ran away. He was ordered to halt
but failed TO do so and one of the SOL
diers raised his musket and fired. The
ball took effect in the boys stomach
causing very serious and probably

If any evidence were needed TO prove
conclusively that the tariff does not IN
crease wages, it is furnished by the report
OF the Senate Committee on Finance, SUD
mitted bv Senator Aldrich at the close Of
the last session of Congress. Let me read
a portion of that report. Under the head

of the statistician employed by the COM
mittee, that in fifteen general occupations
selected Oy the committee, wages were
three -fOurths Of one per cent higher IN
Septem Der, 1891, than in the three months
(June, July ana August selected as basis
in 1889, and that the wages in the special
industries selected

Grayem, does not seem 10 improve He IS
still unconscious, and it Is extremely doubt
full if he survives longer than tomorrow.
His wife arrived this morning and IS con-

last night was at its height, and there was
considerable talk about lynching among the
colored population, and 1t was feared there
would be trouble before morning. as nu'
merous threats were made to that effect.
Craven was rearrested and placed in the
city jail, where strong guard kept watcn
during the entire night. Nothing occurred
during the night, however, and the guard
was withdrawn this morning. Grayem
has hitherto born fair reputation.
Mr.. Ayers, under whose employ Harris
was, has employed several good lawyers
and says the case will be pushed to the full
extent. A plea of self-defense will be en-
tered when the case comes up Tor trial.
Grayem takes everything coolly.

in the interior where q close watch for the
appearance of the disease will be kept on

risk of their spreading the infection is
passed. So strong are the orders that they
will not be allowed to take part in the COM

intensely hot and this unfortunately is
favorable to the growth OF the cholera
germs. There is, however, more wind pre-
yailing to-day and this adds somewhat to
the comfort of the city.

The Glynrioh Land Company.

The Glynrich Land Company, whose
advertisement will be found in another
column, has been very recently organ
lied under an act of Incorporation
passed by the last Legislature of this
State. It is the purpose of the Com
pany to negotiate sales Of real estate
throughout the Peninsula of Delaware
Maryland and Virginia. It is designed
to attract to this section, by systematic
advertising and by other means class
of farmers from all over the country,
who, by reason of the worm out and
depleted condition of the farming lands
in those sections, or for other reasons,
are prospecting for other locations
which offer superior advantages. 1t is
the confident expectation of the Com
pany by activity and prompt business
methods, to stir up wider interest in
Peninsula farming lands than has been
heretofore known. The company is
controlled exclusively by Peninsula
men, all of whom are identified there
with by residence and business.
Since Wednesday, June 9th, when
the Company first began to solicit
fayors for their list, over $500, 900 worth
Of property has been placed in their
hands for disposal. This includes
farms situated in New Castle, Kent
and Sussex counties, Delaware, and in
Cecil, Kent. Queen Annes, Talbot,
Dorchester, Caroline and Somerset
counties, Maryland, and most excel
lent farm of 342 acres situated near
Lynchburg, Va. The list includes
some Of the very choicest farm lands
on the Peninsula. Correspondence
with parties who desire to buy or sell
is solicited by the company. 1t is no
" boom' but legitimate effort to
attract purchasers from all over the
country to this garden spot whose soil
tickles the plow and laughs at the
harvest.
The directors of the Company are
Henry c. Conrad, William Taylor, N.
M. Browne, Hugh C. Browne, and c.

wilmington HarDor Appropriations


The River and Harbor Bill now be-
fore Congress is in the hands of the
House, having been returned with
some Senate amendments. 1t contains
an appropriation for Wilmington bar-
boI of $40, 900, which will be spent in
building jetty at the mouth of the
Christiana on the south side of the
stream. The present jetty on the
north side of the stream has failed to
accomplish the purpose of its construc-
tion in securing, by narrowing the
mouth and thus increasing the velocity
of the current, but it is hoped that by
further narrowing the outlet by the
construction of a jetty at the south
side, the occasional freshets will create
sufficient velocity in the current of the
stream to wash away the bar at its
mouth. That once accomplished, the
work of deepening the channel of the
Christiana up to the wharves Of this
city would be continued and in very
few years the stream would be naviga-
BILE for vessels of much larger draught
than can now be accommod ated.-
