Hon. Richard H Clark, the sound money
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Alabama, opened his cam
paign at Birmingham recently, where he
spoke to a very large and enthusiastic audi
ence He highly eulogized President Cleve-
land for his ability, his conservatism and
his staunch, answering Democracy. Every
mention Of the Presidents name was heart
lily cheered The meeting was a significant
one in view of the fact that Birmingham is
the home of Captain Johnston, Mr.. Clark 5
competitor for the nomination, who is run
ming on the free coinage platform. Captain
Johnson is highly esteemed in Birmingham,
but it seems many of its citizens do not en-
dorse his financial views.

In response TO a playful remark that APP
peared in the letter Of Timothy" 20 the
Shepherdstown Independent las, week, aud
which will be found ia this paper, the editor
Of the Advocate INDUCES in a remark that
is not creditable to the mind or heart Of the
average man. Indeed, it is a reflection upon
one Of the most cherished of the benefcent
practices Of the Methodist aud other denOm-
nations, to wit that of caring for the in
firm and aged ministers, the widows and
orphans and an insult to the memory Of
recipients Of their church's gratitude and
bounty-thOusands Of them-who have,
since Enoch's day, walked with God, and
are not because God took them. There is
a proyocstiOn to say more, bat our Irish in
stincts are antsgonistie to striking a fellow
when he is doWn-all the way down.

Mrs. Anna Welty, wife of Mr.. Samuei
Welty, residing about two miles north OF
Smithsburg, Nd, Friday afternoon was Sc
rously and perhaps fatally injured by an
explosion of dynamite. Her husband was
engaged in sinking a we'll and used dyna-
mite for blasting rock. He put four sticks
of dynamite, which had frozen, on top of the
stove to thaw, and told his wife to watch it.
She noticed two of the sticks smoking, and,
anticipating danger, picked up a stick in
each hand and intended throwing them out
of the door. They exploded in her hands,
however, and mangled the lady in q most
horrible manner. Both of her hands we're
torn off at the wrists, one eye was blown out,
deep cash was cut across her abdomen and
she sustained internal injuries. DR.. J. ii.
Wishard, of Letersburg, and DR.. j. Nj.
Steck, of Smithsburg, amputated both arms.
The doctors state her body has fully five
hundred holes in it, which look as if they
were made by nails piercing the flesh.
