A Terrific Boiler Explosion in Swain Co.
CANTON, N. c., Sept. 18.-The boiler
of Kerley's saw mill, on Conley's creek,
near Whittier, Swain county, exploded
today, and instantly killed six men.
Those killed are Richard Nichols,
manager, of Asheville; James Kelley,
Ben McMahan, Gates McMahan, Henry
Smith, laborers; Jesse Gunter, farmer.
The accident is supposed to have re
suited from too high pressure Of steam.
The mill was completely wrecked, the
saws, carriage &c, being broken up
and not a piece of the boiler was left
neal the foundation. The men were
blown to pieces, and the fragments
scattered. The number of deaths in
this accident is greater than in any
that have occurred in this part Of the
State since 1883, when twenty six men
were drowned at the convict camps
near the scene Of the present trouble.

A WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED
Farmer Wratten, His Wife, Mother, an,
Three Children the Victims

Three Children the Victims
WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 19.-Six
murders were committed in one family
at the house Of benson Wratten, in
Harrison township, Davies county
early this morning. MIR. Wratten was
i'll with typhoid fever. A neighbOr
called to inquire after his health. He
found the whole family butchered. On
the floor beside the bed was the body
of the typhoid patient, with his throat
cut and nearly severed. Two of his
fingers were cut nearly off, showing
that even in his weakness the sick man
had attempted to combat with his as
sailants.
Mrs. Wratten, an old woman, was
in the middle Of the floor with the
blood still oozing from several deep
gashes in herhead. There was evidence
that she had engaged in a terrible bat
tie with her ~assasslns. The walls were
despatched with blood, and several
pools were on the floor. Both hands of
the old lady were nearly severed at the
wrists. She held a leather sack con-
tanning several hundred dollars of pen
sion money untilrher clutch had to be
broken with blows from the robbers
weapons. This money is supposed to
furnish a motive for the crime.
benson Wratten was a prosperous
young farmer thirty-fve years old,
known all over the county. Some time
ago he drew all his money from the
bank and left it at home. The young
Mrs. Wratten had evidently the older
woman In her efforts to prevent the
murderer from taking the money be-
cause she was found near the body of
the older woman with her head split
open. A sharp Ratchet or axe had
been used, and there were several deep
gashes in the shoulders and arms OF
the younger woman.
Two little children were found in a
corner of the next room, behind the
bed, with their heads chopped. One,
a girl of fifteen years, was not dead,
but unconscious. A t~hree-year-old
baby was found in its crib. The en-
tire family had been butchered

MADISON @. H., Va Sept. 19,-Crig.
lersville, a small village of about sixty
inhabitants, situated in the beautiful
and fertile valley of the Robertson, has
been almost completely wiped out of
existence by the recent flood in this
county.

Cherokee strip outlet to settlement, a
vexatious question viii have been settled,
and the coveted lands of that region, be-
fore six months, will be transformed
into thousands of comfortable homes for
American families = and poor Los

That sspoor Lo' has not enjoyed these
lands, except to collect rentals from the
cattle barons for pasturage, is potent,
but that the titles of these lands were
vested with the Indians was recognized by
their admitted right to collect these
rentals. Now, these Indians, under pro-
test, convey their vast lands to the gov
eminent for pittance, but the Caucasian
gains by the transaction-gains thousands
of homes, so there is an end to it all.
Perhaps the Caucasian may reciprocate
in part to his red brother in the reflection
OF advanced ideas and civiiizing in
fluences, but the red brother will be slow
to appreciate such compensation.
The Cherokee strip is, as whole.
superior to the former territory opened to
settlement and constituting the territory
OF Oklahoma, in that the eastern two
thirds is similar to a continuation of

that state-one of the best, agriculturally

THE STANDARD OIL TRUST.
1t Has Been Dissolved-in a Measure

1t Has Been Dissolved-in Measure
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The dissolvine
of the Standard Oil Trust, which was not
quite completed at today's meeting was
decided on in March IS, 1892, when
a committee was appointed to wind up
the affairs of the trust. Sixty-two per
cent of certificates have been turned in
and exchanged for pro-rate shares of
stock in various companies formerly con-
trolled by the trust. 1t is thought the
remaining outstanding certificates will
come in soon. Among those pre-
sent were George Rice, heavy
refiner, well-known as a persistent
and tireless litigant in suits in the
Standard Oil trust. Rice presented a
long letter, which bristled with search
ing questions as to the conduct OF the
trustees appointed to wind up the affairs
of the defunct trust. This created a SEN
sation in the meeting. 1t was the only
incident OF the day. It
was learned that the total issue of certifi-
Gates of the old Standard Oil trust was
$50 800, 900. Certificates amounting to
$50 ,21O, 900 have been turned in. 1t is
charged that all of twenty concerns in the
trust still remain under the control of a
few persons who directed it's affairs, and
as long as such a condition of affairs
exists, the result will be the same as
when it was operated by a board OF
trustees.

The OnIyssEeasure OF Importance Before
the House Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-ln the House,
Talbert, of South Carolina, introduced
a resolution directing the currency COM
mittee to Immediately report the bill OF
McLaurin, of South Carolina, for the
issue Of S125, OO0, 900 in treasury notes for
the relief of the people. The resolution
was received with laughter and objec-
tions. and the house went into commit
tee of the whole on the public printing
bill.
The bill deals with the entire question
of the printing and distributing public
documents, and substitutes for the old
plan a system which aims at economy by
the appointment of bureau through
which all documents are to be sent out.
Hepburn of Iowa objected to the section
permitting the public printer 10 sell du-
plicate stereotype or electrotype plates,
and Chairman Richardson expressed his
willingness to modify the section.
Two hours of general debate on the bill
followed and then it was considered by
sections under the five minute rule.
A wrangle ensued over the section OF
the bill providing for the advertisements
for paper proposals in one Democrat and
one Republican newspaper in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and ST. Louis.
Hayes of Iowa made an unsuccessful
endeavor to secure an amendment includ-
ing the newspaper OF all cities OF over
$50 600 inhabitants.
Caruth made plea for the Louisville
papers and Mercer Of Nevada did a like
duty for Omaha.
Much strength was developed in favor
of both cities, and Richardson concluded
to adjourn as the only means of defeating
the amendment. Accordingly, on his
motion, at 4:35 the House adjourned.

impossible to get anything more favor

side, will probably cast votes for the
amendment by giving silver the limited
recognition proposed. 1t is definitely
known, also, that the influence Of the
administration will be exerted in opposi-

Whether the amendment will be able to

of the Senate and possibly a vote. u is

FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL.
The Everett Bill Is to BE Amended by
the Committee.
Manufacturers Have Another Long Siege
with the Committee on Ways ana
Means in Reference to the
Question of Tarid.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Though the
bill to repeal the federal election laws is
to be presented tomorrow in the House,
it is not probable the debate on the meas
ure viii begin before Friday. How long
the discussion will last is unsettled. The
Republicans say they will last at least a
month.
Tucker, of Virginia, who has the bill
in charge, says there will be no limit
placed upon speeches in the line of legiti-
mate discussion, but as soon as it is ap-
parent that the minority is filibustering,
the committee on rules will be invoked
for order, which shall compel vote. A
good deal of opposition is manifested,
even on the Democratic side, to present
for consideration proposition to repeal
the federal election laws. It is claimed
this will detract attention from the Senate
and in this way as we'll as by the engin-
eering of Republicans endanger the cause
Democrats to this is brief but to the
point. They say they have already
sacrificed their opinions on silver to the
position OF the administration and cannot
go back to their constituents unless some
thing is done directly desired by their
section. Apart from this there Is a gen.
eral desire on the part of the Democratic
leaders to have some questions brought
forward upon which political lines can be
visibly drawn. They point out that the
Democratic party is not unit upon sill
yer or state bank tax or income tax, and
there are differences of opinion as to the
extent to which the tariff revision should
60 On the question of abolition Of the
federal force at the polls there Is no divi-
sion OF sentiment. Leading Democrats
are unanimous in the hope that there will
be very lively political fight on the re-
peal of the election laws. 1t has been so
long since there has been genuine polit-
ical fight in the House that it wiz be well
coined not only by Democrats but by Re-
publicans.
The exact programme which the Re-
pubIcans will follow in their opposition
to the repeal Of the federal election law is
not yet made known. As a matter of
fact, secrecy is being observed and not
without a purpose, the minority being
afraid of disclosing its plans of campaign
to the enemy. All that they Will say is to
repeat their determination to fight until
they can no longer hold out.
The debate, as already indicated, prom
ises to be very bitter.
