Wreck ed by dynamite.

HAzELToN, Pa, April 30.-Anthony
{. Frenko. a laborer, was ordered to use
sixteen inches of dynamite in order to
break up old iron at the Jeansville iron
works. Instead he used sixteen sticks
of the explosive, and the result was a
terrific explosion. A portion of the
casting weighing some > 900 pounds de
scended upon the roof of James Nc
Glynn's house, which stood 300 wards
away. The house was wrecked complete
to the cellar, and how the inmates es
capped being crushed to death seems mir
aculuus. A bed on the second floor. in
which an infant was sleeping, was bro
ken IN twain. In the kitchen beneath
Mrs, McGlynn was engaged washing
dishes. She heard the noise. but had
no time to move when the casting
dropped upon the table, carrying it and
dishes through the floor in TO the cellar.
Ihe woman was prOstrated by fright,
but otherwise was uninjured.

lT is a significant circumstance, saws
the Baltimore Sun, that while contin-
gents for COxey's ''army'' are making
for Washington from all other parts of
the country there are none from the
South. They come chiefly from Repub-
lIcan states-states in which Republican
teaching has done its perfect work in
undermining the Democratic doctrines
of self-help. and no paternalism. Coxey
himself and the first army came from
Ohio, where Mckinleyism is rampant
and protection has Impoverished its
thousands. Then follow the detach-
ments from Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts, California and other Republican
states where the high tariff has made the
rich very rich and the poor very poor.
But we do not hear of single 'army"
from the Impoverished South, nor from
any state in which Protection has not
showered its favors on the owners of pet
industries.

IL court at Philadelphia George Burt
nett, young man, recovered verdict
of $4,000 against the Pennsylvania
railroad company as damages for person
al injuries received in a collision at Har-
risburg en- June 25th, 1892 Burtnett
was a passenger on west-bound ex-
press train which was run into by 10
lal train. Besides serious internal in
juries, hislegs were so injured that since
the accident the one has been shorter
than the other. The hecompany's defense
was that Burtnett could not recover be-
cause he had been riding on free pass,
upon which was a printed stipulation
that the holder could not hold the com
pany responsible in case of accident.
The fact of the free pass was admitted
by the other side, but it has shown that
the pass had been issued in New jersey.
and IL became necessary to try the case
according to laws or that state.

Hardly had he picked up those given

hand, and moment after he reeled and
fell. When his cards were picked nm

SENATOR IURPIE, of Indiana has in

The point of ex President HARRISON s
indianapolis speech, says the Pittsburg
Post, is that the present business depreS-
sion and the panic that preceded it were
caused by ''the attempt to wipe out pro-
lection legislation and establish reve-
nue. tariff ordained by the people by
the million majority they cast against
Mr.. Harrison in 1892. If so, why was
the panic world wide in its sweep, af-
fecting protection as well as free trade
countries in Europe? Does not that
prove to quote Mr.. Harrison again, that
"this period of depr, ssion is one of
those periodic panics that at intervals
are more or less to fall upon us? The
ex-President antagoniZed that idea, but
II Is nevertheless the truth, else why
have they had hard times in England
and Germany? There is no Wilson bill
pending there, and one of them is a free
trade and the other a protectionist coun
try. Does Mr.. Harrison remember the
panic of 1873, which came in the full
tide of protection policies. with no Viii
son bill dreamed of? History shows that
we have panics in this country at al
most regular intervals, and they come
no matter what party is ill power or what
tariff Is in force or proposed. The
tramp was the product of the panic of
1873, and the industrial army seems to
be the panic of 1898, with an unprece-
denred amount of Republican lying
thrown in.

a DISPATCH from Buenos Ayres, by
way of London, announces the escape OF
Admiral Da CANA and all of the Brazil
ian refugees who had been detained on
board the Portuguese warships. These
fugitives have been the cause of pro-
tracted trouble, and their flight from the
Portuguese men of war might prove a
happy solution of that singular tripar
tIte competition for their possession
which has been going on for some time
between the governments of Brazil, Ar
gentina and Portugal

In responding to communication
from the President Chauncy F. Black of
the National Association of Democratic
Clnb, setting fourth the needs and pur-
poses of the organization, President
Cleveland refers to the pledges under
which the party was invested with power
and reminds those charged with the re
demp ton of those pledges ''that, as We
won our way to victory under the ban
ner of tariff reform, so our insistence
upon that principle is the condition of
our retention of the peoples trust. The
words are timely ard significant. They
embody, in the Presidents usual
straightforward style, the duty of the
hour. There is no appeal for income
taxation, nor for any other ''rider."
The President sticks to the issue as it
was settled by the country, and the
country will aequit him of all responsi-
biity for the unwarrented delay in car,
ryIng out its mandate.

A Disastrous Flood.

QUEBEC, April 20 About $50
O'Clock Friday night the inhabitants of
the quiet little village of st. AlbanS, sit
uaied 10 nles from here in the county
of Neuf. heard terrible noise resemb
ling the roll of thunder in the distance
The soil commencing To vibrate. a pan
ic eusued at the upper end of the village,
some three miles from the parish chu rch,
is curve formed 10y the river st. Anne
and close TO the curve is water fall 100
feet high. The ground forming the
right side of the fall gave way, huryIng
Il pulp wood mill which was situated un
derntath blocking the course of the
stream. The stream was very rapid on
account of melting snow spread over the
adjoining farms and caused the badly
stayed or undermined embankment {"
slide into the river, filling II up. Seven
houses situated along the river bank were
carried into the river. One of them was
occupied by family named GauiIer, of
four persons, all of whom perished.
Smoke was seen to ascend from under
the ruins, showing what an awful death
the occupants must have met. The
ground which slid into the river meas
ured about SIX square miles. Whole
farms have bt en- destroyed. Three
bridges were carried away, The old bed
of the st. Anne river is now leveled and
the river runs miles from where ii coursed
before. People in the neighhorhood of
the scene are still terror stricken. The
rush of water from the Aurentian chain
of mountains Is tremendous during the
spnngtime, owing to the melting of
SnnU anH IL thnnUht that the tTrnnnH
about the river bank has become honey
combed by the water. Large tracts of
lands with trees and vegetation have
been shifted without the least diStur
bance, while in other places the land
was completely turned over. The losses
are estimated at $500, 900.

The stockholders of the recent
Worlds Fair at Chicago are to be paid a
10 per cent. dividend; and as there will
remain on hand a gross balance of S4OO, =
600, against which there are probably
no claims of magnitude, a further divi
dend may be looked for. In any event
the stockholders will have no cause to be
dissatisfied with the financial outcome
of their enterprise, which has yielded
more satisfactory results than many
previous ventures of a similar character
would have warranted them in expect
