From the Providence Journal.
Lloyds Register Of British and foreign
shipping for 1925 has besn Issued L. is
said to be presented to tho public with
assurances that is more omplete than
any other report on the subj, CT. even
including the documents OF the LloYd
bureaus. The total tonnage Of the
world has been increased by some 500 600
tons In the period covered, although the
wrecks and withdrawlas from service have
taken about one and a half times as much
tonnage as that from the seas The
total tonnage Of the world Is, there
fore, raised 60 a considerably higher
figure than Is represented at the close OF
the year 1894. and this advance stands
for the steady progress and development
OF the general navigation business Of the
world. Yet the increase In the tonnage
Is not as great as It has been at times in
the past. For Instance. Ia 1899 It was
nearly 500 600 tons and In the following
year It reached over 725 600 tons But
only a net advance OF about 300 600 tons
was reported IN 1894 The returns for
tho shipping OF the world are accord
lngly more favorable than they we're az
the close Of last year, and they make It
plain that the temporary steguatiOn in
the sea ransportation industry, which was
the cause OF the falling of during that
twelve MONTH has passed awey. As
usual, the shipbuilders of Great Britain
and Ireland have turned out the largest
number Of both steam and sailing craft.
The total number OF vessels launched,
counting all nations, embraced /, 2lS 600.
and the British yards Rnd docks hoatsd
$50 967 tons OF this output. The
American yards produced Ia newly

The Sound Money Democrats.

Masquerading under the above title, Col.
William E. Cameron on Monday addressed a
small audience of republicans chiefly, in the
empty warehouse of Capt. G. M. Cochran in
this city. The speaker was introduced by
Capt. James Bumgardner which gave some
caste to the proceedings, for until this time
Capt. Bumgardner has been in the front rank
of the real democracy. But for reasons best
known to himself he now withdraws from
the party to which he has belonged through
out his whole life, and assisted for the first
time in an effort to overthrow it by introduce
ing Col. William E. Cameron, republican
campaign orator, who together with Capt.
Bumgardner spoke against the cause of silver.
The crowd was not enthusiastic. 1t was
strange work for republicans to meet and
greet Capt. Bumgardner as chairman, and
Mr.. R. D. Haislip, managing editor OF the
News, as secretary of a meeting which
they, (the republicans,) knew was their
meeting 1t was also painful after the meet
ing was over to see the persons who rushed
up to the speakers and showered their con-
CALCULATIONS on them. The object of the
meeting is laid bare in one sentence of Col.
Cameron's speech in which he says: In the
smash that will come to democracy" And
vet he, who claims to be better democrat
than Ben Hill, IS predicting to an applauding
audience, that the party is to be smashed, and
cheered never more loudly than when he dis
closed the sincerity of the hope that the smash
would come.
The by-play had no effect on the great demo
cratic silver tidal wave which is sweeping the
country, and the movement will go on, not
withstanding the meeting, the speech of Col
Cameron, the detection of some democrats
and the dire predictions of an army of jack
leg prophets.

Fatal Accident.

Just before going to press last evening, news
reached the city of the death by accident of
Mr.. John A. Lightner, son of A. B. Lightner,
decd The exact particulars could not be
learned but Commemorative Attorney, M.
f. White and Coroner Arch Kinney went to
the scene of the accident. The most that
could be learned was that the accident occur
red on the road leading to West View about
three miles west of III. ity. Mr.. Lightner
left Staunton about one O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, in his buggy for his home at tire
darlington" a summer resort near Buffalo
Gap. He was found dead by person pass
ing, and from appearances it was believed
that he had been thrown from his buggy and
his neck broken.
Deceased was about SO years age, and mar
ried. His wife was a daughter of Robert
Dinkle of Jennings Gap, Geo. S. Lightner,
an attorney Of Woodstock, is brother, and
Mrs. David O'Rork of this city, and Mrs.
Milton Booker of the county, are sisters.

ED. SPECTATOR:
Our picturesque village too sends glad It'd.
ings for the cause OF free silver. The senti-
ment here is strong. and Bryan and Sewall
club will soon be organized Those who
stood for the "Gold Standard prior to the
State convention have long since discovered
their mistake, and are now working might
and m ain for the success of old JeffersOnian
democracy as represented by Mr.. Bryan.
Within the last few days twenty-five of ou1
citizens irrespective of parties have subscribed
to the Cincinnati Enquirer which is an educa-
tor as to the wage earner's good. and believe
better times will have to come through demo
cratic, and not by plutrocratic republican adj
ministration as represented by the favored
classes.
1t seems strange that the money-kings OF
our land have SO suddenly taken to theil
bosoms the producers of wealth and now
want to save them from ruin and starvation
when it is in their power to save themselves
by voting for the peoples candidate
The Meas continues to come to great many
of our citizens, and is doing the cause OF free
silver good The people here had rather have
fifty-cen dollars than no dollars at all, which
is the case now. But the fifty cent dollars
will never be seen in this country, may the
SPECTATOR continue to serve the masses and
not the classes.

A Dreadful Crime.

The soil of Monroe county has again
been Redeemed with human blood shed
by the hand of violence. Mr.. Walter
A. Paully, aged %, son of Mr.. A. I.
Paully, was killed in Red Sulphur dis
tr1ct on last Friday afternoon, August
IA, 1896, by Mr.. G. Lewis Crotty, the
latter's grown son, Elmer, assisting
him in the deadly assault, Bad feel
ing had existed between Mr.. Crotty
and young Mr.. Paully ever since the
trial of the Messrs. Pennington last
October in Monroe Circuit Court upon
the charge Of having white capped"
Lewis Wiley near Peterstown in April,
1895, and the two men had had several
quarrels. Last Friday, threshing-
machine was at work on the premises
of Rev. J. D. Ellison about 4 miles
from Peterstown, and G. E. Crotty and
his son were among the workmen.
Late in the afternoon Walter Faulty,
whose home is not far distant, came to
Euison-s to arrange for the thresher to
come into his neighborhood, SO we are
told. Crotty was pitching straw at
the time and when he saw Faulty APP.
proach, called another man to take his
place and going up to Pauily, asked
him if he had received the message he
(Crotty) had sent him. AS well as we
can learn, Paully denied having had
the message. whereupon Crotty. shak-
ing his fist in Paully's face, applied to
him a most insulting eplthet, unfit to
appear in print. Paully at first tried
to back away, saying he was not pre-
pared for trouble and wanted none,
but Crotty followed him threateningly
and at last Paully made some show OF
resenting the attack and defending
himself. Then Crotty struck him and
Immediately followed this by drawing
pistol from his trousers pocket and
shooting Paully twice. The first shot
struck Paully in the side. making a
flesh wound. the second penetrated
his heart. Paully did not fall but
grappled with Crotty and was in the
act of wrestling the pistol away from
his assailant when Crotty's son, Elmer,
stepped up and struck PaulIy on the
head with pitchfolk. Panty fell to
the ground and in one minute was
dead. Crotty then coolly reloaded
his pistol and together with his son
walked away, undetained by the
crowd present Both are still at large.
