FIRE AT FAIRCHANCE.
The Busy Little Fayette Town Suffers
from Flames.

On Saturday night there was q
great loss by fire at Fairchance, Is
miles from here, in Fayette county
The fire was the result of incendiar-
ism which was melted against the
proprietor of pool room, but its re-
suit was more disastrous than was
probably the intention of the fire
bugs that it should be. Several
houses and two stores. stables, out
buildings, etc, were burned.
The fire originated in the pool
room at about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and quickly communicated it.
self to the Miller store building,
then to the dwelling of Mrs. Oliver
Bayles, from there the flames spread
taking in the postofiice, Leslie
Browns store and the hotel owned
by Brown. All the stables on these
lots We're burned.
Most of the postofiice matter was
saved, and some goods from Browns
store, but aside from these the con
tents Of the other buildings mention
ed were totally consumed with the
buildings. Mrs. Bayles lost every
thing. Her husband, who formerly
lived near Easton, was a short time
ago killed by lightning. it will be
remembered.
The loss is very great one 10
our Fayette neighbor. No one has
been arrested for the crime.

We presu me the Auburn union work
ingmen would be very indignant if the
grocery dealers of Auburn should sur
round the store of one of their number
who was selling his goods at lower
rate than the rest, with crowd to boot
and jeer at him, and threaten to knock
his head off if he didn't desist and put
up his prices. They would say, and
rightly, that the other dealers had no
right to undertake to coerce the offend
ing dealer into the adoption of their prices
Very likely they would rally to the pro-
lection and defence of the prosecuted
man. If the grocery combination posted
notices on his shop asking everybody
to stop trading with him they would
very likely tear them down. If it
employed body of men to walk in front
of his store and every time they met one
of his clerks to labor with him to leave
his employers service, their Indignation
would rise so high that they would very
likely pitch the Walking Delegate into
the streets All this would appear to
them as a most outrageous proceeding.
But the right of the com bination of
grocerymen to do these things is just as
clear as the right of the labor unions
of Auburn to do them. A man has as
much right to sell his labor below the
market price or below the price fixed by
the unions as does man to sell his gro

The conditions were not favorable for
decisive test of the sailing qualities OF
the Vigilant and Valkyrie on Thursday,
and perhaps not much can be predicated
on the result of that contest. Neverthe-
less it is somewhat disquieting to Ameri-
cans to know that if both boats had per-
severed to the finish the Valkyrie would
have come in considerably ahead, and it
is more significant of the dubiousness of
our prospect of keeping the cup from the
fact that in light winds the Viiglant has
all along been regarded as greatly supe-
rior to the Valkyrie, and danger from
the latter has been anticipated only in
heavy breezes. Yet though the wind
was exceedingly light on Thursday the
valkyrie outsailed the Vigilant. 1t may
be that the explanation is to be found
in the alleged bad Judgment and bad
management of the, Vigilant's skipper.
If that was the trouble it may perhaps
be remedied before the next race,
though change of commanders at this
time would be rather risky.

The Silverites in general and Congress
man Bryan in particular got very bad
set back in the action of the Democratic
State convention in Nebraska. Though
not a silver producing State, Nebraska
is in close proximity to them, and be-
sides it contains large number of
Populists. An endorsement of free silver
was therefore rather to be expected. Con-
gresham Bryan not only expected it,
but he was cock sure of it. Yet it turns
out that free silver was repudiated by a
majority of nearly three to one. IT the
opponents of repeal in the Senate were
at all Influenced by the opinions of the
people this action would have good
deal of effect upon them. But the opin-
ions of the people they care very little
about Some of them want free coinage
because they have silver to sell; others
want it because the President is opposed
to it; while few want it because they
honestly believe it would be good thing
for the country.

The testimony shows that Harper was
strong partisan, and it would not be
hard to believe him capable of sharp
practice in political matter But it is
perpetrated q fraud in the manner
charged, when success was impossi BILE
and detection certain, when he could
have done it successfully with so much
ease. --Rockland Opinion.
We are sorry to see an esteemed Demo-
cratic contemporary intimating that
Harper was capable of sharp practice,
for it will inevitably call forth a sharp
reprimand from the Opinions Portland
brethren, who regard Mr.. Harper as a
much prosecuted saint. The only real
~ wicked man in the Ward One business
was the clerk, who exposed the surrep-
titious removal of the unused ballots
which alone made detection of the fraud
possible. Instead of the success of Harper's
miscount being impossible, as the Opin-
ion says, success was not only possible
but it was achieved Through it Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor got his certifi-
cate, held on to it three days and would

course the check list would have revealed
the fraud, but that was in The hands of
the men who were trying to hold on to
the fruits of the fraud. For several days
the Repu blicans were refused access to it
by the advice of prominent Democrats,
some of whom are now offering this very
argument that the Opinion makes of the
impossiiblity of concealing the miscount
Had that checklist been kept away from
the Republicans indefinitely, as it might
have been had the city clerk stuck, and
had the fact Of the destruction of the un-
used ballots been kept concealed, as it
might have been, not a particle of legal
evidence would have been available to
unseat the Democratic candidate. Har-
per's method of counting in Democrat
was not particularly brilliant, but if the
city clerk had continued to pursue
the policy he at first adopted it could
never have been overthrown. Every
Democrat knows this, including the
Hon. W. H. Clifford, and that is why they
are all so angry with the city clerk.

Attempt To Burn the French Enr-
bRSSY In Rome.

ROME, August 22.-Troubles growing
out of fighting between the French and
Italian workingmcn employed at the
salt works In Argnes Mortes in France
threaten to involve grave International
complications. The most serious out
break OF popular feeling against the
French occurred in this city late last
night, when bowling mob attempted
to burn the French embassy. Some rio
ters carried cans of petroleum and did
not hesitate to declare their intention to
use it in destroying the embassy. The
authorities prevented the attack on the
embassy and a strong force of troops
was detailed to guard the building. The
rioters attempted to carry out their
threats and refused to dispcrsc the sol
dlers charged upon them. They held
their ground for a time and fought stub
bornly. Not until several charges had
been made did they begin retreating,
lighting all the time. Forty-five persons
were arrested. Many were wounded by
ssabres which the soldiers used unspar-
ingly. Rioting in provincial towns was
only quoted by troops, the police being
utterly powerless to handle the mob.

BROKEN TROLLEY WIRE.
several Persons Injured by 4
Last Evening

With sputter and hiss, in blue flames
and smoke. the old trolley wire on Pat.
ton avenue got tangled up with live
wires about 7 o'clock last night and
melted itself apart and as it fell to the
street it writhed like a python and
caught within it's twisting coils one un-
fortunate, and bruised and burned sew
eral others. When the startling noises
overhead began the sidewalks and
streets about the square were filed with
pedestrians and with frightened scream
the crowd broke and scattered in every
direction.
Charles A. Drayton of Savannah was
passing Redwood's with a party of
ladies when the wire hit him on the right
side of his head and wrapping itself
around his neck burned the ear and sent
him spinning into the streets with a
rough and tumble knockdown elbow.
Miss Lula Morgan of Savannah was
severely bruised by contact with the
wire and Miss Maggie Weaver, a daugh-
ter OF DR.. II. b. Weaver, was burned
about her hands. Cav M. Williams, also
III the party, was burned upon one hand
and bruised upon his lett leg.
The dangling wires hung at the switch
block on the square and shot out an
occasional flame until the men engaged
in strluging the new trolley arrived
with the tower and cleared away the
wreckage.
