Between and O'Clock en- Saturday
morning the alarm of fire caused our
sleepy people to tumble out of bed. AS
they reached the streets the bright glare
that illuminated the south end of town,
and the vast volume of smoke aud sparks
rolling up into the air showed that some
building was burning fiercely.
Reaching the ground 1t as found that
the Fetzer house, an old unOccup;ed log
and frame building, on Spring street, in
rear of the Reformed church, was a roar
ing furnace from cellar to roof. The fire
apparatus was quickly at work, water
being abundant within a hundred OF
two feet Of the fire. By good work on
the part of pipeman Shaffer, well secon-
ded by the boseman and a good force on
the engine, the fire was extinguished in
short time, much to the surprise Of
many who thought it impossible to save
single log Only one stream of water
was used bat that was a heavy one
When the Lindamood building, in the
same section OF town, was burned before
day, several weeks ago, many persons
were convinced that it was the work OF
an incendiary, This last fire shows
almost positively that we have one oil
more fire bugs in our midst.

Death Of RObt. Gill.

On Monday Mr.. Geo. w. Gill. of thii
place, received a Telegram briefly announc
ing the sad news of the accidental dcatl
of his oldest son. Robt. Gill, which had
occurred that morning little after nine
o'clock, in PIttsburg, Pa, where he was
working, and where he resided with his
wife and three children.
The particulars of this sad affair, as we
find reported in the Pittsburg Press, are
as follows:
Mr.. Gill and another workman by the
name of Jones, both in the employ of G.
G. OBrien, had adjusted a swinging
scatfoid, such as painters use to work on
the outside of walls on the front of a
building used by the department of pub
lie safety of the city. The iron hooks of
the rope sustaining the scaffOld were put
oyer the edge of a wooden cornice and a
nine inch brick fire wall.
The two men had scarcely gotten upon
the scsffOld when the cOrnice and a por
ton Of the wall fell out precipitating
him with mass of brick, wood and other
debris, while Jones caught to the electric
wires from which he was soon rescued
badly hurt. A number of persons VINO
had been watching the men at work,
went quickly to GilPs help, but before he
could be gotten out life was extinct, his
skull hsying been crushed to pieces.
The remains, accompanied by his grief
stricken widow and children and his
brother, Mr.. Luther Gill, reached this
place on 1915 train Wednesday morning.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rem. Mr.. Skyles, of the Reformed church,
at O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon, the
interment being in the Reformed cemetery
in the prsse1ce OF sorrewing relatives and
large aud deeply impressed congrega-
ton.
Robert Gill Mas only % years Of age.
He leaves a widow and three children,
the oldest about niue and the youngest
an infant of probably not more than one
year, as we'll as father. mother, sister
and number of brothors to Lourn bis
sad and early death.

SwIndlers

Beware of court day swindlers. The
men that make a big fuss on ceurt days
and attract the crowd generally close mp
by swindling the people. They will offer
big bargains; some times they will give
you something for nothing, but they will
always get great deal more for nothing.
A very safe rule is to avoid these travel
ing'swindlers altogether, and you will
have the consciousness that you. at least,
have your own, and the other fellow has
none OF YOUR money.

Ga Saturday evening our people were
startled to hear of the death of Uncle"
Abe Miller, of Narrow Passage, near here,
a citizen as well known and as much
liked as any one in all this section. As
be had been in town but a few hours
before, the news was a perfect shock to
his friends, and the expressions of sur
prise and sorrow were many and heart
felt. Later the news was cOntrsdicted
much to the relief of all. 1t seems
that his, health has not been good for
some time although apparently robust
and vigorous, he suffering from feeling
of fullness and dizziness. Just before
leaving town no insisted upon ply
stefan bleeding him which was done.
Since the above we learn that he ha:
been psralyzed and while somewhat
better at our last report, is in critical
condition.

SENATOR SHERMAN Is RIGHT.

Senator JOHN SHERMAN'S deductions
from the result Of the late election will
not be popular among the rsbid fol-
lowers Of McKINREY aud his ism, but
they will meet with a great deal Of appro-
bs.ion from she great mass Of the peO-
pie. For instance be says:
81 DO not regard the present result as an
ind Orsement OF the Mckinley bill or a de-
mand on the part Of the people for radical
tariff legislation"
Senator SHERMAN is right in his con-
illusions. The people have had quite
enough Of Republican high taxation and
Of the monopoly-bresding policy Of
that party. TAe Republican majorltles
did not come as a result Of any popular
yeAyuing In that direction, but were
builARp by Democrats who took ad-
KsasaSs Of an opportunity to enter

rHE LABOR oOMmIsnoN's REPORT.

q
The report OF the Federal Labor
Commission appointed to investigate
the great railroad strike Of last June
makes public some facts not heretofore
knowa aud which will ia a measure
soften the harsh judgment with
which the employees organization, the
American Railway Union, has been
visited. 1t sppsars from the report that
the action OF the railway officials was
such as TO invite the oppos ition of the
employees. IN the first place they organ
lied the General Managers Associa-
tion, representing twenty-fOur rail-
roads, having for its object the equal
ization OF pay on all lines. This equal
ization was effected in all cases by level
ing down wages TO the standard fixed
arbitrarily by the association. In no
instance was it sought to "eQualiZ1" by
lowering wages that were too high and
raising those that werS too low, so that
the plain object aud intent Of
the General Managers Associa-
ton was TO reduce the wages Of
all railway employees. Prior
to this move on the part Of the railway
officials there was DO general orgauiza-
tion Of employees, but each system hal
it's own union and did not attempt to
control matters outside Of that system.
When, however, the employees found
themselves confronted with a demand
for a reduction Of wages, backed by a
powerful combination Of roads, each
sworn TO stand by the other,
there was no course open TO
the employees other than the
formation Of a similar organization,
and hence the American Railway
Union. Then the General Managers
Association refused TO recognize such a
combination OF labor, which, in the
language Of the commissioners report,
"seems arrogant and absurd"
The Commission pays its respects to
the Pullman Palace Car Company in
very uncomplimentarY terms, and
shows that that rich aud power
full corporation acted throughout the
trouble in a dOmineering, arbitrary and
selfish manner. When the business
depression Of 1898 came, morally calling
for mutual concessions as to wages,
rents, etc, the Pullman company very
promptly recognized the necessity for a
reduction in wages, and did reduce
them NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with, or even
informing the employees Of such inten-
ton. The rents for houses in which
the cOmpany's employees lived in the
town Of Pullman were higher than the
same class of tenements in Chicago and

The fact that Judge GoFF's friends
are trying to induce him to become a
candidate for United States Senator,
has evidently frightened the henchmen
Of Mr.. ELK1Ns, and they have taken
time by the fOrslOck in an attempt to
stihs the Golf movement The latest
scheme, as detailed in the REGISTERS
dispatches this morning, originated in
the fertile brain Of our energetic and
ambitious friend, Hon. w. S. EDWARDS,
delegate-eIect from Kanawha county,
who, it is generally conceded, will be
speaker Of the House, and will fur
nlsh TO order a lot Of buncombe AMI
visionary legislation for the next Legis-
lature.
The plan Of Mr.. EDWARDS in briefs,
to elect ELKINs to succeed Senator
CAMDEN, having first secured the
promise that ELKINs will do all Ia his
power to elect EDWARDS successor of
Senator FAULKNER in '9S. To the mean
time, while EDWARDS waits for the SEN
atorial cherry to drop into bis mouth,
he will be a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent OF the United States. 1t is diff.
cult to determine which Of two features
OF this novel scheme is the more
striking: the open and corrupt bargain
and sale proposed, or the extreme
modesty Of Mr.. EDWARDS in asking
for himself only the Vice Presidency OF
the United States and a senatorship.
Modesty was always a leading charac-
teristic Of Third district politicians, and
Mr.. EDWARDS by association aud exam
pie has succeeded in cultivating the
virtue to such perfection that il is
likely to result in his permanent injury
by keeping him 10 the background when
he ought 10 be TO the fore. Cannot the
friends OF Mr. EDWARDS induce him 20
overcome his maiden shynsss, just for
this occasion, and persuade him TO ask
for little more?
This scheme TO silence the Golf ele-
ment and elect ELRINs is predicated
upon two suppositions Of doubtful real
ization. One is that Mr.. EDWARDS is
the sole custodian Of the Republican
conscience and carries the legislative
vote in his breeches pocket, and the
other is that the State will 20 RepublI-
can in '9S. Mr. EDWARDS is msnifestly
not only a modest man, but man OF
faith, and the latter characteristic be-
ing much larger than grain Of mus
tard seed, be naturally expects TO &C
complish greater wonders than the re-
moval Of mountains.
Mr.. EDWARDS is moreover not only q
modest man. and a man of faith like
that Of Joshua, az the sound Of whose
trumpets the walls OF Jericho fell, but
he is a political Hercules and proposes,
Immediately upon the assembling Of the
Legislature, 70 tear asunder the Jaws OF
the Democratic lion by undOing a great
part Of the legislation Of the last twenty
years. II Mr. EDWARDS has anything
else in his catalogue he has not yet
made 10 known. Meanwhile, the public
will await with interest the develop
ment of the Senatorial scheme and the
proposed buncOube legislation.

IT is interesting TO note that after
thirty years Of the Republican policy Of
alleged protection the first great Amer

second year Of a Democratic admin
istration. and under a Democratic re-

OF this Democratic policy, American
built liners will soon cease 70 be the
