Landlord Rachor, Jr, filed Budds big
coach with his gentlemen boarders and .
few gentlemen friends last Thursday even
ing, and treated them to ride to Lincoln
Park, where splendid lunch was served,
at the genial landlords expense. The party
started for home at IL o'clock and all
was proceeding smoothly until the caus-
way north of Paulsboro was reached. Then
the coach upset in the deep filthy ditch
that skirts the road along the causway.
Fortunately the curtains Of the coach were
up, leaving the sides open, or the party
would have been cornered under water and
Drowned like rats in trap. Clement
Reeves says he went to the bottom of the
ditch and brought up q stomach full Of
grass, black mud and spIatter-dock, and
all the party had q similar experience.
The leaders Of the four-horse team kept
out Of the ditch, but one Of the wheel horses
went with the coach. We shall not under
take to settle the responsibility for the I'M
fortunate accident. as Chas. NcAllen, the
driver, insists that he was wide awake and
did all in his power to keep the coach
running in the road, even to the extent of
the leaders breaking the pole trying to pull
it away from the danger point, but to no
purpose. That question is not nearly as
important as the rescue Of all the party and
the complete recovery fiom their mud bath.

SURE SALVATION.
The Democratic Cause Still Lives for Fu-
ture Triumphs.

democratic
ture Triumphs.
No defeat can dismantle or disinte-
CRATE the democra tic party. What
ever the effect may be on party organ
izations, whatever the result may be
to individuals, the principles of democ-
racy, which have existed since the
foundation of this republic, will con-
tinue forever.
If the democratic party has erred, it
has erred IN departing from the purity
of these principles and from the strict
application TO the doctrines of Jeffer-
son and Jackson. The people have
held irresponsible for the acts of men
whom it has placed in office. That re-
sponsibi1ity it could not avoid. The
people have held it responsible for the
acts of its representatives. in congress.
That, too, is a responsibility which it
had to assume.
This republican victory will run its
course. The republican party will be
restored to power, and its inevitable
tendencies will manifest themselves
again. The hope of the democratic
parry, its sure salvation, is to return
to the simple principles and sincere
and practical advocacy of them; these
principles which have endeared and
will always endear it to the heart of
the people.
To-day is not a time for any demo-
crat to be cast down. The battle for
the rights of the American people. for
the reduction of taxation, for the sim
plicity of the administration of affairs,
and for individual liberty begins again
to-day, as it has begun many times be-
fore after the defeats of the past

Efforts VIII Re Made to Get the Kansas
Alliance on Non-Partisan Basis.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 16.-President
w. S. Hanna, of Ottawa, has called the
seventh annual meeting Of the Farmers
Alliance Of Kansas, to be held at To-
pela December 5, and Secretary J. B.
Grench is sending out the notices to
subordinate alliances and making other
preliminary arrangements.
An effort is making to revive the in
terest in the organization and to re.
store the large membership which it
once enjoyed. Political complications
have interfered with the work of the
state alliance to such an extent that
the membership has been greatly re-
duced. In Shawnee county the active
membership has dropped one-half, and
in some counties the organization has
been entirely suspended.
President Hanna says the alliance
has been misrepresented in political
way; that it has no part in politics and
was never intended to be anything
else than farmers organization for
mutual benefit. The proposed reor.

COURTS or APPEAL

Chief Justice Horton Suggests Them for
the Relief of the Kansas Supreme Court.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. I6.-In view of
the fact that the docket of the supreme
court is now about four years behind
and the delinquency increasing each
year, the proposition for the appoint
ment of commissioners to assist the
court in disposing of the accumulation
of business is being revived. It is I'M
derstood that Chief Justice Horton is
not favorabl to the commissioner
system, for the reason that their
by the regular justices, hence very
little time is gained by the court
Judge Horton believes that intermedi-
ate courts of appeal, one in eastern
Kansas and one in the western part of
the state, would afford ample relief
and not be subject to any of the objec-
tions found in the case of commission
ers. The commissioners are not auth
orized by the constitution, and, in
reality, cannot decide cases ex-
cept upon the approval of the
court, but the court of appeals
could be established by law and
work of the supreme court would be
lightened and the interests of litigants
greatly promoted. Judge Horton sug-
gests that the court of appeals should
be limited in its civil jurisdiction to
cases involving sums under 81, 600, and
that the jurisdiction should not extend
to constitutional cases or those involv-
ing land titles.

AN AWFUL CRIME.
A Bohemian Kills His Mother, SIS
tor and Brother.
THEN He CUTS HIS OWN THROAT.
BeforeJ His Suicide the Murderer Saturated
the Floor and Furniture with Coal
OH and S9t the House
Fire.

Mexico, Mo, Nov. 2O.-Early yester-
day morning a horrible tragedy oc-
CURED near Wellsville, little village
IS miles east of this place. Thomas
Portercheck, a Bohemian, presumably
in a fit of insanity, killed his mother, a
sister and brother with an ak. An
other sister escaped through a window
while he was Staying his mother.
After completing the wholesale
slaughter the maniac threw a lamp on
the floor, lighted the spilled oil with a
match and committed suicide.
Sunday afternoon Portercheck was
discovered acting strangely and gave
indications that his mind was deranged.
He labored under the hallucination
that his neck was broken and insisted
that physician be summoned. His
relatives endeavored to convince him
of his error and tried to get him to bed.
He insisted on sitting up all night.
Late Sunday night the family re-
tired, leaving Thomas in rocking
chair. At o'clock Monday morning
his sister Mary was awakened by an
agonizing scream from her mother.
When she emerged from her bedroom
she found her mother lying on the
floor, while Thomas was stand
ing over her brandishing an ak.
The floor was covered with blood,
and from an adjoining room the
other brother, James, could be
heard moaning in the agony of death.
The girl ran through the house, and
finding all the doors locked. opened a
window and jumped to the ground.
She remained at the window, and as
her brother Thomas made no attempt
to follow her, she stood and watched
him at his murderous work. The maniac
seized a can of coal oil and after pouring
it over the floor and furniture, set it on
fire. He then drew butcher knife
across his throat and fell by the side of
his mother. The poor girl attempted
to extinguish the flames, but they
spread so quickly that in less than ten
minutes the house was a mass of fire.
The screams of the girl awakened the
neighbors and they rushed to the scene,
but the flames had already finished the
work which the maniac had commenced.
When the blazing timbers had
cooled sufficiently to allow a search
Of the ruined house four bodies were
found blackened and charred. They
were those of Mrs. Portercheck, her
Youngest daughter, and her sons,
James and Thomas. Investigation
showed that the mother, daughter and
son James had been horribly mutilated
by an ak. It is believed that Thomas
had first killed his brother, then his
sister and mother. It was probably
his intention to kill his sister Mary
also. The mother had been an invalid
for twelve years, being confined to her
bed during that time.
