NIPPED BY THE FROST,
Heavy Damage IL Done to Grain and
Fruit,

DETROIT, Mich, May 30. After the
terrific rain storm of Sunday after
noon, when tender vegetation of all
sorts was beaten into the ground, the
mercury began to drop, and before
morning had fallen to below the
freezing point in every part
of Michigan Lower Peninsula Spring
wheat Is reported to have been
seriously injured by being beaten
down by rainfall of three-quarters
of an inch and blighted by the heavy
frost Early vegetables and small
fruits were undoubtedly seriously in
jured. There is considerable diversity
of opinion as to the harm done to
grapes pears, peaches, apples, and
cherries, but as whole the opinion is
that they practically escaped.
NArERyILLE, H., May ga heavy
frost fell here Sunday night doing
much damage to fruit, corn, and
garden truck. Potato vines nearly
ready to blossom were almost frozen
off to the ground. Much of the corn
suffered similar fate.
HARVARD, ILL.,, May 30.-The corn
crop, especially where it was above
the ground, was severely bitten by the
frost. Potatoes and garden truck were
so badly damaged that they are a com
plete loss.
PORTLAND, Ind, May 3O.-Sunday
nights heavy rain was followed by
drop in the temperature and there was
a heavy frost and some ice. 1t is
thought corn and other growing crops
are badly injured.
La PORTE, Ind, May 80, There
was killing frost in this locality
Sunday night and much damage was
done to the corn, potatoes and small
vegetables.
GRANTsBURG, Wis, May 30--Heavy
frost here Sunday night did great
deal of damage to vegetables and
fruits One of the heaviest crops of
BURBERRY blossoms seen in this coun-
try is almost total failure. Grain
was slightly touched, while corn was
frozen to the ground.

Secretary of State Osborn OF Kan
sas has suffered the feline to escape.
In an nnguarded moment he told
the world just how the thing is to be
done. To borrow the secretary's
luxuriant phraseology:

the next election; then, simultane-
Gus with the returns. the flames will

In the Devils Den.

Ex-senator Warner Miller OF New
York, carries curious-looking cane.
1t is light stick land resembles the
''rattlesnake" canes one sees at ii mes.
1t is colored yellow and is speckled
with black spots, and printed upon
one side of the cane are the words:
Devils Den, July l, 2, 3, 1863" Mr..
Miller, when asked about this cane at
Washington recently, said: "That is
a relic of Gettysburg. 1t was given
me when L was there at the reunion.
You know the Devils Den was a
rocky place on the field of battle.
They found one Confederate soldier
dead in hole among those rocks,
who hadn't wound upon him. 1t is
supposed that he was killed by the
conclusion of passing cannon ball. +"

A War Claim.

John L. Browns war claim is a good
story. In the wide range which war
claims have taken there is nothing
quite like this. In Der, 1868,
according to the committees mar
rative, Miss Mary Love of Kingston,
Tenn, was intrusted with an import
ant dispatch from General Grant to
General Burnside, at Knoxville, Tenn.
She carried the dispatch to Louisville,
Tenn, accompanied part of the way
by Thomas +. Darter as escort and
guide. Miss Love delivered the dis
patch to John L. Brown, who was then
boy only about 10 years of age,
and he carried the dispatch from
there to Knoxville, through the enc
my's lines, distance of about thir-
teen miles, and delivered it to Gener-
al Burnside whose army was being be-
sieged in Knoxville by the rebels.
General Burnside said that the dis
patch was a very valuable one to the
public service. That was shown by
the fact that in January, 1878, con-
gress passed an act granting to Miss
Mary Love $4,000 for her services.
The undertaking was a perilous ore
and its accomplishment a creditable
act, and ''for it he deserves the thanks
of all the lovers of their country"
the committee says. The evidence
shows that he had to get out of Louis
vile through the enemy's pickets and
into Knoxville through their lines.
Miss Love states that he was the only
person at Louisville that could be
found to undertake to carry the dis
patch through.
1t is said that one soldier, Charles
Francis, lost his life in an attempt to
carry copy of the dispatch through
by another route.

TRAIN RELEASED ny TROOPS.
Illinois Central Coal Cars Rescued from
Minonk Strikers.

MINoNK H., May 30. -Shortly be-
fore o'clock Sheriff Tool marshaled
his $50 deputies in equal divisions on
each side of the main line just north of
the Illinois Central depot Soon after
: o'clock the militia marched to the
crossroads and deployed on either side
of the track after seeing that all
distractions had been removed from
the rails, They were slowly followed
by the sheriff and his posse, some of
whom walked in front of the engine
and some on each side of the train to
see that no pins were pulled. Two
arrests were made. A small posse of
deputies was detailed to guard the
train to Rutland, the first station
north. This was reached without
difficulty and the engine and caboose
brought them back here. AS soon as
the train had passed the militia
marched back to the south and went
into camp at Pope's slaughter house
pasture.

THE KEARS ARGE.

They may build her walls u: steel
They may make her white and shapely,
From her masthead to her keel
They may clothe her ribs with armor,
They may give her strength and speed,
That may some time for the country
Fill the me Isure of its need.
They may give her wondrouS Cannons
With the thunder in their tones,
And the lightning in their missiles.
That the deadly Storm King owns.
They may make her queen of Terror,
Make her mistress of the sea,

Crown her PROV with victory.
But with all their modern trlumphs
And their blaZonry OF war,
They can't revive the Kearsarge,

After the Battle.

John ID. CARING, of Hagerstown,
Md, has small pocket bible that he
found after the battle of Gettysburg
on a camp ground near the former
place. CARING is at least third owner
of the book, for it bears upon a fly
leaf this inscription: This bible was
found on the train taken from the
rebels on the 9Th day of July, 1868, by
John n. Wolsin, and take it as my
guide through life with Jesus as my
captain. Boonsboro, Nd, July z, 1868"

that shown in the Third Ohio dis

REPUBLICAN MATTERS.
ENGLAND's BEST FRIENDS.
The Irish Americans Who Vote for the
Iow-Tariff Party.


Low-Tarif Party.
Lord Salisbury is wrong in his
facts. In his reply to Lord Rosebery
he characterizes the Irish as "the
most bitter, INSCRIPTIONS and per-
manent enemies of every thing Brit
ish that can be found in America.
There is no SANDER strange to their
tongues or pens,n he continues,
"when they refer to British things
and interests. If any class in Amer
lea is to be conciliated would rather
conciliate the class that loves us,
not the class that pursues US with
undying hatred" Lord Salisbury's
language is not only Incorporate,
but it also misrepresents the essen
enemies of British interests, the
Irish in America are the most useful
and trustworthy friends and allies
which the English people have in
any foreign country.
How is the Irish vote in America
cast in national politics? Almost
exclusively for the Democratic party
and low tariff policies. 1t is almost
the only naturalized race vote that
is not divided between the great
parties. 1t is thrown year after
year almost solidly for the party
which is fighting the battle of the
English manufacturer and importer.
The American Irish may hate the
English, as Lord Salisbury asserts,
but they vote in elections precisely
as the English want to have them
vote. What is to-day the most i'm
portant commercial interest of Great
Britain? Unluestionably it is the
displacement of American with
British manufactures in the United
States, the greatest market of the
world. The Irish in America are
doing everything in their power to
bring about that result. They are
largely responsible for the election
of President Cleveland and Demo
cratic congress pledged to enact "a
tariff for revenue only"
1t suits the purposes of Lord Sal
isbury to rail at the Irish in America
as pursuing England with an "undy-
Tribune, but every importer, tariff
roformer and practical politician
knows that whatever they may say
with tongue or pen their immense
political influence is thrown on the
English side of the tariff question.
Their contributions to the Irish
home rule fund is Of little import
in hf,I IF
their votes which arc cast year after
year against the industries of their
adopted country and in favor of Eng
fish manufacturers and trade. If
they hate the English theoretically,
they offer on election day each No
vember a convincing practical dem
onstration that they love their enc
mics by voting for low tariff and
English free trade.
The English in their protracted
struggle for the conquest of the
American market have been making
use of the Irish, even while they
have persistently maligned them.
The Irish in America have been with
them, not against them. There is
not the slightest reason for concilia
ting them, since they can always be
depended upon as the most useful
political agents whom the English
people have in any quarter of the
globe In return for their services
in opening the American market to
European goods England could well
afford not only to establish parlia-
ment in Dublin. but also to buy up
the landlords and to give the land to
the tenants.

pockets but most Of them tramped II
the balance OF the day.
The street car company OF this city
has been getting $500 a year from the

some time. The contract always runs
out the last day OF June each year
The mail men have been riding since
that time and nothing has been SAID
about it until yesterday. The street
car company asks S720 a year now for
the right of the carriers TO ride on the
cars, aud it is not known what will
be done In the matter. The carriers
cannot afford to ride and pay the money
from their own pockets. IL would cost
