Five KILLED ny "A saw mill Boiler Explosion

OwENsBoRo, KY, January 3O.-One
OF the most horrible disasters ever oc-
curing In Southern Kentucky occurred
this morning, near Crow Hickman, n
station on the Owensboro and Nash
Vile railroad, nine miles south OF here.
A boiler in the portale mill OF Jos. n.
Mercer exploded. killing five men and
FATALLY injuring another. The explos-
Ion was caused by running cold water
Into the warm boiler The engineer
foresaw the explosion and urged the
men TO run but thew regarded his warn
ing as joke. The bodies Of two
men were found blown to atoms in
tree seventy-iive yards from the scene
OF the accident. All the victims were
horribly mangled. John MERGERS body
was an unacceptable mass. A more
terrific report could not be imagined.
The conclusion was plainly felt in this
city.

IT IS said that the President will use
every power at his command to defeat
the admission OF New Mexico. Arizona,
Utah and Oklahoma because IL would
increase the power OF the silver men TO
the House and insure the passage OF a
free silver bill In the Senate. Tho
source Of this charge IS, OF course. Re
publican. It's, also, evidently partisan.
We DO not know that 1r. CLEvELAxp
Is opposed 70 the admission OF these ter
rItOries, but ~ be Us those who know
the high motives. Independence and
patriotism OF Mr.. CLEVELAND will
rest assured that bis opposition is based
upon other grounds than a desire 70 de-
feat any legislation which might result
from the addition TO popular represent
alton in Congress. The Republican
party leaders enjoy monopoly OF that
kind Of states manship, ln evidence o.
which we place their haste iu
making Republican rotteu-bor8ugh
States and their refusal 20
admit Democratic territories more en-
titled 90 stlteooods order 90 increase
their strength u Congress. Further
more there has been ro tnumation from
an authentic source that Mr. CLrvf-
LAND is opposed 20 thc admission OF
these territories.

Furnace Full of Skunks,

A few days ago Alex. Cochrane, the . .tinsmith, went to the Congregational church in Deep River to put the furnace in order for the winter and, was accom- panied by his dog. When he opened the furnace door six skunks sprang out almost in his face, and ran for acorner of the cellar: The ,dog mixed in with them and the result can be easily i'm agined. Man and deg finally became victors, but the cellar and the whole church fairly reeked with awful 'stench. It is supposed the skurks got into the furnace by crawling through one of the cold air pipes, the openings of which are in the basement wall ousside sthe church. - -.t- ~ :. '.

That wise old slave, .Esop, tells how the jaws an the arms refused to supply and to grind food for the stomach, which, they said, was lazy thing living on its neighbors. O. course the rebellious members suffered and grew weak. AS what we call science did ot exist in Ksop's day, it isn't likely that even he underst pod the full force of this fable.
 We understand to day the supreme import ance of treating the stomach well, for the consequences of indigestion extend from the there are so many skinny, gale, bloodless men and strengthen them unless they can find a food that will pass from the stomach into the pre- -digested food.

An Educational Club for Coiored voters
 but Not a Campaign Organization

| p"t Not NnmphiRh o's"
 Hartford, Sept. l2,-The Sumner League club. composed of colored citi- zens. held a meeting Monday evening in the rooms of the Roland Drum corps to discuss plans for future work. This club is a branch of the state organiza- ton that was first formed in 1885 to perpetuate the memory of the life and works of Charles Sumner. For the past five years. however. IL has been dor mant. The state organization was re- organized on August 22. this year. at meeting held at Savin Rock. The fol- lowing officers were then elected: Pres- dent, Alderman Pcaker of the Ninth ward of New Haven; vice-president, w. B. Edwards of Hartford; corres- bonding secretary, W. II. Ransom of New Haven; recording secretary, D. B. Freeman of Hartford; chairman of ex- ecutive committee, A. P. Miller of New Haven, editor of the Connecticut Ban ner.
 The club is a permanent organiza- ton and not campaign club. Vice. President Edwards. in conversation with a Times reporter to-day said: ''The club Is in politics only to this ex- tent; it aims to be an educator of the negro race in Connecticut. It strives to impress upon every member the neces- sity of casting his ballot honorably and without pay from any party. When the colored voters shall have been edu- cated up to this point. the Union League will ask that colored citizens be accorded the same privilege as white men in the matter of employment on public works and in departments. The Sumner Union League club is not re- publican club. If member is demo- crat, the club wants him to be an hon. able democrat and cast his ballot as such and if he is a republican let him be an honorable republican"

TO O-ASSISTTICAR-GENERAL HUGHES
Father Mulcahy of Waterbury, Formerly
 of1h his City, Appointed by Bishop Tie =

ney. ,n ...r
 Hartford, sepSfs. Sfs 1s.-At the diocesan conference of the Catholic clergy, held at the episcopal residence on Farming ton avenue, Tuesday afternoon, Bishop Tierney announced that he had ap- pointed the Rev. J. A. Mulcahy, cf the Church of the Inlmaculate Con otiol' in Waterbury, assistant vicar-,general of the diocese.
 The appointment of an assistant vic ar-general is in deference to the re- peatedly expressed wish of Vicar-Gen- eral Hughes, who feels that with in creasing age and consequent physical infirmties he would be unable to dis charge the duties of bishop pro. tenn, which the position of vicar-general in wolves in the absence of the bishop. Bishop Tierney consistently refused to accept Father Hughes resignation, but has given him an assistant in Father Mulcahy. Father Mulcahy, the new vicar-s-:l eral, is well known among the priests of the diocese for his scholarly attain ments and executive ability. He is a pleasing talker and has won a reputa- tion as lecturer. His stereoptican lecture on the Passion Play' is highly commended, Father Mulcahy was born in Ireland forty five years ago. He came to America in 1862, and was or dained to the priesthood in 1873. His first curacy was in Troy, N. Y. He afterwards was connected with the church in Waterbury of which he is now pastor. He then removed to East Hartford to take charge of his first parish. From there he went to Thomp- sonville, to New Haven and then bacl: to Waterbury, as pastor, about nine years ago. He is popular in Water bury and prominent in many affairs.
