An Example OF Brute hefOlhm III u fHNFt
Fire NeRr oahdale, Pa
Pittsburgh Dispatch,
Joseph Leonard, an oil man, met his
death in a burning house, near oakdale,
about 1880 o'clock yesterday morning,
He was only twenty years old. A faith
full Newfoundland dog was killed trying
to save him, and the charred bodies Of
the two were found near together.
The house was a one-story frame, con-
tanning four rooms. It was the prop
erty OF e. p. Krotzer foreman Of Gutley
and Galley, oil producers, and was oc-
cupied by Krotzer, his son and three
workmen in his employ, among them
Leonard. The house had one-half
inch gas pipe in it, coming through the
side, with an elbow, which the men
would light in the mornings to warm
up by before going to work. Leonard
having worked all Friday and Friday
night and up until . o'clock a. M, was
not awaked yesterday morning. The
balance OF the men went to their work.
AT 10 o'clock the house was in flames.
When Krotzer reached the house twas
mass of burning ruins. After the
heat had subsidized sufficiently they
made q search and found the body OF
Leonard charred mass, unrecogni2a'
BILE and past identification.
tits supposed that the young man,
feeling chilly, got up, turned on the gas,
laid down again and fell asleep. The
bed was only q short distance away
from the gaspipe, and the bed clothing
ignited. 1nhaling the flames, Leonard
was burnt to such an extent and so
quickly that he had no time to escape
and was cremRted. Tho charred trunk
was shipped to Millerstown to widow
cd mother.
A large Newfoundland dog, the pet of
the five oil well workers, had free access
to the four rooms OF the house while
his masters were at their work. The
fire started, and the brute knowing that
one OF his masters lay asleep in an nd.
Joining room, went to the bedside and
tried to arouse him, not knowing he
was then dead. Thebrute in his vain
attempts to arouse the man was over
come by the flames, and dropped dead
at Leonard's feet. When the body OF
Leonard was found stretched across
the bed, or rather where the bed should
have been, the charred trunk of the
faithful animal was found lying at the
foot.

A census bulletin, Just issued, gives
statistics OF the iron andsteel industries
OF the southern states. The bullaIia is
interesting because it shows the re-
markable progress made in the erection
Of iron-making plants in the south. Ac-
cording to the summary given at.the be-
ginning OF the report the amount OF
capital invested in the blast furnace
branch OF the Industry "has increased
from $l6,064. 2O7 in 1880 to $50, 207 $40 in
1900, an increase Of $l6,243, 1853, or 05.75
per cent, while the tonnage quantity OF
production increased from 350,4S6 net
tons in 1880 to l,S34,5s6 net tons in
1890, an increase Of 1,4s4, 1850 net tons, or
1882 per cent.
Ihe capital invested in rolling mills
and steel works has increased from Sill
sos, 26O in 1880 to SIT ,52S, O06 in 1890, m
increase OF $5,s62,sS6 or 5O26 per cent,
while the production Of these works in
creased from 900,324 net tons in 1880 to
5l5, us net tons in 1880, an increase OF
225, 45i net tons, or 7I85 per cent This
increase OF tonnage is confined exclu'
sively to the manufacture OF steel pro-
ducts"
In West Virginia in 1890 there was
50, ass, O24invested, an increase OF s., 0lS,-
GIG, and the average number OF hands
employed was S.757, tho value OF the
product being S1O,OOO,0OO,
Alabama has made the greatest ad-
vance Of all the southern states, the
capital invested increasing from S3,0OO,-
900 in 1880 to $4,000, OOOin 1890, and the
value OF tho product increasing from
100000 to sl2,OOO,OOO.
Tho report shows not only crafty
ing progress in tho erection of iron and
steel plants, but rapid development OF
the south's mineral resources, There
has also been a tonding toward con-
centration of the industry.
The work OF development in "the
new south" has only begun; there are
great possibilities for the iron and steel
industry in these states, it our law
makers at Washington will leave it
alone, and not interrupt its progress by
taking from it that protection under
which the whole south is now prosper
ing. We have, however, been served
with notice from the FREQ trade party
which has been elected to power that
not only will the present tariff be
repealed, but that, In the course OF
time, every vestige OF protection will DO
wiped away. This is not an enchanting
outlook for the industrial interests Of
this favored section.

j. NJ Carson IN Philadelphia Ledger
Tho nomination OF Judge Jackson to
the vacancy in the United States SUI
preme court occasioned considerable
surprise at the capitol, and called out
severe criticism from those Republic
cans who believe that Republican
should have been selected. In this in
stance 1t was President Harrison's de.
sire to select Republican, II one could
be found in the South possessing the
qualifications which tho President
deems necessary for so exalted a posi-
ton. Above oil things he wanted fitness
and character, and Southern man.
There were but two names suggested
from tho South among Republicans,
namely, Judge speer, OF Georgia, and
Judge Pardoe, Of Louisiana. Neither
came up to the standard OF the Presi.
dent. Judge jackson served in tho
senate with the President, and Is there
fore personally well known to him.

remarkable prosperity Of that state, as
shown in the savings banks statistics,

shows that nearly half the entire popu-
lation. or 1891, 06l people, have deposits

sons in the whole population oil Con-
necticut four have money laid by for
rainy day in the savings banks. These
figures show more eloquontly than
words that the great mass Of the people
arc able to earn moro than they need to
supply their daily wants.
Only about 10000 votes were cast at
the recent election in Connecticut, says
the Bulletin. That is less than half the
number Of savings bank depositors. It
means that thousands OF women and
minors as vol as citizens Of voting quail
