VIRGINIA DEMoCRATs.-A large at
tendance was at the meeting of the
Virginia democratic association in
Washington last evening, and much
business was transacted. 1t was the
sentiment of the meeting that strenu-
Gus effort be made to GUST republicans
claiming to be from Virginia and their
places in the departments filled by dem
ocrats. Committees were appointed to
carry this into effect at once. The fol-
lowing resolution was adopted
Resolved, That the Virginia demo
cratic association of Washington city
hearty indorses the prompt and vigor-
Gus measures recently adopted by the
President of the United States and the
members of his administration to re-
pulse and repress by military force the
interference of lawless men with the
process of the laws of this country and
the transportation of the mails and
with commerce among the States.
The prompt and fearless action of
President Cleveland will have the full
sympathy of the law-abiding people of
the United States.

Train Wrecked.

WICHITA, Kan, July 14.-At .i:2o a.
m. yesterday, mile south of Enid, the
Rock Island bridge was blown up with
dynamite and freight train was de-
molished. The engine and two cars
had passed safely over when the dyna
mite exploded, hurting the train from
the track. Thirteen cars were blown
to pieces and piled up in a ditch and
brakeman and tramp were both bad
ly injured. This is supposed TO be the
result of the adverse decision of The
Oklahoma Supreme Court against the
towns Of South Enid and Pond Creek
which wished to compel the Rock Isl
ann Railroad to build depots and stop
trains at these points.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence OF the Alexandris Gazette.
WASHINGTON. July II. 1894.


Up to two O'Clock this afternoon the
tariff bill, so far as democratic member
OF the conference committee to which
it had been referred, knew, was in any
thing else than 4 satisfactory condition.
The committee, he said, had not settled
any of the important provisions Of
the bill. When asked what the
issue would likely be, he replied {:
your Inauguration is as good as
mine" Notwithstanding this, the pre-
vailing impression at the Capitol is
that the bill will be reported to the full
committee on Monday, and will still be
practically the bill as it passed the
Senate. EX-Congressman John E. Rus
sell of Massachusetts, came to Wash
ington this morning to represent to the
conferrees that the New England manu-
facturers insist that they must have
free coal and free iron ore if the duty
on their manufactured products is re-
duced to figures in any degree ap-
proximate those in the House bill. 1t
is over these two items and sugar that
the hardest fight will result.
General Schofeld received a tele-
gram late last night from Gen. McCook
at Donver, stating that the situation at

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 14.-Word
has been received OF the result of fatal
waterspout at Lead Hill. The storm
came on early yesterday afternoon, be-
ing preceded by heavy wind aud vivid
lightning. People fearing death, sought
refuge in cellars and other hiding
places. At about , o'clock q water,
spout broke at the head of the creek
which flows through the village. The
stream overtlowed, inundating the en-
tire bottom. Houses, fencing and tim
Der were carried away.
The Trusty Roller Mill was swept
from its foundation. The miller, VIM.
Trusty, his wife, and four children,
lived in cottage near the building.
Trusty escaped, but the house, with the
wife and children, was washed away, all
the inmates perishing. A number of
persons narrowly escaped drowning,
having been taken from the water in
an unconscious condition.

WHAT good the commission the
President has agreed to appoint to in
vestigate the late strike can do to any
body, except the men who shall com
pose it, who will draw large salaries,
which will be paid by means of taxes
laid upon the people at large, is hard
30 tell Every one who reads the
newspapers knows as much about the
strike now as the commission can posi-
bly, know after months Of Investigation.
But the creation of commission is a
simple and easy way of postponing a
difficulty, and of quieting the clamor Of
those who made it, by giving them a
consideration at the expense of the
public.

SOME of the men engaged in the
recent railroad strike may be re-em-
ployed in their old places, and only
then as individuals, and not as mem.
bers of any union, but the number
who will not be is immense. They had
no grievance against the companies,
and yet they not only blockaded their
business, but destroyed their property,
murdered their loyal employees, and
attempted to ruin them, and now gloat
over the loss they have inflicted upon
them, and say it will be long time be-
fore they will declare any more divi-
dends. 1t would be unnatural if the
companies not resent such treat
ment. =, silly for the strikers to de-
mand 20 be taken back.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1894-07-14

Mr.. DEEs speaks of the crimes of the
men who obey his orders as "heroic en-
deavors." What "heroism" there was
in them is not easily told, as they were
committed with confident security, and
as the perpetrators turned tail and in
continently fled at the sound of the first
bullet fired by U. S. troops. In his
written request that the strikers be
taken back, he also says the strike has
extended so that it threatens not only
the public interest, but the peace and
prosperity of the common country,
apparently forgetting the fact that all
the trouble was caused by his own or
ders. Mr.. Debs must certainly be a
little offin his head.

If MI. DEBs so soon to be done
for, what was he begun for? This is
question which the members of the A.
Il. U. viii have to settle among them
selves. There can be no doub. of the
fact that their chief has done great
harm to the men whose monthly dues
pay the salary that enables him to live
at luxurious hotels and smoke Havana
cigars, while they have been black
listed, and have therefore ceased to
draw wages.

WEDDING.-An interesting wedding
was celebrated at Atlanta, Ga, one day
this week, the contracting parties being
Mrs. Mary A. Burke, aged sixty years,
the widow of Timothy Burke, very
wealthy man, and Mr.. Patrick O'Don-
nell, well-known young man, aged
twenty five. The groom gave a recep-
ton to the Hibernian Rifles, of which
organization he is member, and after
the affair the couple left for Saratoga,
seemingly as happy as if there was no
disparity in their years.

IN VIEW of the condition of affairs
that has existed in this country for
some time past, and of the demonstra-
ted inability and, indeed, unwilingness
of the State and municipal authorities
to prevent the wanton destruction of
life and property, many wise people
think the President should exercise his
constitutional power of declaring mar
tial law in the disturbed regions, and of
snppressing rampant, reckless and
gratuitous crime by the swift process
oC provost courts. AS the outrsges
must be stopped, the sooner the better.
