be at the mercy of the flames. There

FANCY GROCERIES,
FRESH FRUITS,
struck by a Train.

Tuesday afternoon west bound
freight train killed Mexican about
three miles this side of Bellemont.
Engineer Davis, who was running the
locomotive. says he noticed the man
walking on the ends of the ties when
about half mile away. When about
three train lengths away he blew the
whistle and supposed the man would
get out of the way, but instead he
stepped between the rails. The en-
gineer again sounded the whistle but
rs the man still kept between the rails
and the train was close to him the
brakes were applied but too late to
prevent the engine from striking the
track walker. The victim was thrown
to the ground with such force as to
produce instant death. The body was
put into the caboose and taken to
Bellemont. The train crew were sent
back to the place with the body, and,
arrived at 8 o'clock p. m. Justice
of the Peace Morse summoned eoro-
ners jury and an inquest was held.
The dead man was Mexican and
known to but few of his countrymen.
He was known to them as Dan Diego.
The jury returned verdict of acct
dental death and exonerated the train
crew from all blame in the matter.

chasing Of $50,0OO000 worth OF silver ou'-
ron per wear under the Sherman act was
not able TO prevent the fall in the value
Of silver from over q dollar an ounce 10
its present low value. Common sense Is
AGAINST the assertion. Silver IS now pro-
duced in such quantities at such small
expense Of production that its value can
not be kept up to its former standard
And Is the whole business of America to
be imperI,ed by a leap into an experiment,
which those very men who advocate 1t
confess TO be only an experiment, ana
which experience and common sense con-
denim?
I'VE have had hard times under the
gold standard. That is true, and what Is
also true is that under the silver stand
ara We shall have much harder times. 1t
is the great fallacy of the day to be at
tributing our hard times 10 the god
standard The craze for free silver as
cure for hard times is expii"able on the
same theory that a man who has been a
long time sick, despite the attentive care
of physicians, will call for any quaCk who
advertises TO cure all the ills of human
ity. Hard times have come through the
severe and resistless working of ecOnom-
ic laws, which go their way in spite OF
local enactments Of parliamenJs or con-
crosses.
"One of the chief causes Of hard times
today is the agitation for a change in the
currency of the country. If the American
people put down by an overwhelming ma
jorfty this idea, bury it out of sight, the
chief cause of hard times viii be out Of
the way. There are a hundred aspects of
this question which ! do not touch upon;
| merely throw out some few thoughts
which show reasons for my own present
political faith, and which may be- of some
benefit to others in forming their own
judgment"

PROCTOR ON PAST COINAGE LAWS
Has worked out n story In Fayer of
the Gold Standard.

Washington Oct 11.-John 3. Proctor
OF Kentucky, chairman OF the United
States civil service commission, has made
public an article reviewing the history
CT the democratic party's position on the
question Of the gold standard
Mr Proctor says he has been at some
pains TO collect authentic information
regarding the coinage laws Of the past,
which satisfied him that the trainers Of
the constitution and the founders of the
government were united and determined
that the coined value Of our gold and
silver money should correspond with the
market value of the bullion contained.
This Mr.. Proctor says, is demonstrated
by the writings Of jefferson, Monroe uad
Hamilton Mr.. Proctor quotes many hisA
democratic authorities in support OF his
position. and concludes by saying that
many others might be cited to show that
the free silver plank III the Chicago plat
form is violation Of democratic prIn-
ciples ard that no man advocating fiat
money has a right 70 cali himself
democrat.

LA ANNA, Sept. 25.-The Young Ameri-

ground, where they waited until four
o'clock before the Dalevile club arrived.
The game was to have been called at
three o'clock but we pardon the delay as it
was extremely difficult for them to CON

At the close of the first inning the Dale
vile Club kicked on decision Of the
umpire and refused to finish the game.
Undoubtedly the umpire was correct but
as the Daleyille Club had employed a pro
fessional battery for the purpose Of " shut
ting out the Y. A. c., " as they admitted
after the game" and were dissatisfied with
the result of the game thus far, their only
hope of fulfilling their plans was to begin
the game anew. Consequently they used
the point in dispute as an excuse.
The Young American boys being gen
tlemen" and not wishing to return with
out game, gave the point and the game
was recommended.
At the close Of the seventh inning the
Daleyille Club having one score ahead,
"their" umpire called the game because of
darkness but the captain aud umpire Of
the Y. A. G. refused to accept the decision
and demanded that the game be continued
but their opponents considering "disore-
ton the better part of valor " stood " not
upon the order Of their going but went at
once.

games arranged In the near future. M.
