country met in the hall of representa-
tives today to attend the 18th annual
session of the National Farmers con-
gress- Colonel B. T. Clayton of Iowa,
president of the organization, was in the

state, and Governor Matthews upon
behalf of the state. Colonel Clayton
delivered the presidents address and
in the course of it gave the keynote
for discussion in the following para
graph.
During the last fiscal year of the
operations of the former tariff law, the
agricultural imports on 20 articles, the
like of which we produce not amounts
to S65,SO4, 446; during the first calendar
year of the operation of the present
law the Importation of the same
articles amounted TO $135. 06S, $50 or an
increase over the former law of $751;
364, 314. In the importation Oh far4n % ota-
ucts we found the discrepancy still
greater in q of the chief articles pro-
duced on the farm. During the iscaI
year 1894, we exported farm pro tucts
to the amount of 1907 Sac. 945 while dur

A CUTTING AFERAY.
DICK LEWIS, COLoRED, sLsAsHED
IN THE NECK.
The Row Occurred In a BrotheI Near
Commercial Street Last Night.

cutting ARRAY occurred in a brothel
near Commercial street last night in
which Dick Lewis, the colored porter,
had his carotid artery nearly severed
and experienced close call TO bleeding
to death. The details of the scrape. it
was impossible to learn, as the keeper
of the house, Kittie Fairchild, and the
inmates would tell nothing beyond say
ing that a party of young fellows were
in the dancing room and one started
to spin a chair. The porter was ssnt
in to stop the proceeding and had an
alteration with the men, later follow
ing them to the corner of Second South
and State where, is was claimed. the
fight occurred
Statements, however. were very con-
fiicting and a pool of blood on the
dancing floor large enough To have
drained most men to have lost it, bel.ed
the story of the cutting having oc-
Cured on the street The police are
of the opinion the facts are very much
at variance with the statements made.
They expect to locate the persons inter-
ested today and learn the truth or some
thing nearer it.
Dr. McKenna was called to the White
House drug store, where Lewis sought
assistance, and dressed the wound. He
pronounced Lewis, out of danger.

of a cabinet. This statement was
greeted with applause.
Mr.. Hanna also spoke on the gem

tiOnal industries, and if that were done
there would be such an advance in gem
eral prosperity that laboring men and
business men alike would feel the bene-
fit resulting from the last election.

COAL RATES.
Pittsburg Lake Shippers Claim They
Are Being Unfairly Disseminated
Against--.The Rates Cut for Ohio
and West Virginia.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 19.-The absence
of an agreement among lake coal ship
pers has resulted in cutting OF rates.
1t is announced that the f. L. Robbins
Company is shipping from Pittsburg
free on board at lake at the rate Of
$3.50. West Virginia shippers are giving
a $40 rate and the Ohio people S1.6O.
Pittsburg shippers are 100 miles near
er the lake than the West Virginia
shippers and 80 miles nearer than Ohio,
yet they have much higher freight rates
to pay For this reason the Pittsburg
operators have called on the railroad
people for a conference for the adjust
ment of rates.
Less coal is being shipped from here
to the lakes than ever before because

Cumberland, Md. May 19-Reliable
information reached here this afternoon
OF a thrilling adventure experienced by
a bride and groom at Davis, W. Va. The
couple had gone on walk to Black
Water Falls, two miles distant, and
were returning TO town in a different
direction over a mountainous path,
when they espied flowers blooming in
an open space some distance away.
While engaged in plucking the bios
SONS they we're startled on discover
ing that the great forest fires which
have been raging in that section had
closed in upon them. shutting off what
seemed to them every avenue of es-
cape.
Almost as quick as a fash the flames
encircled them setting their clothes
and the hat of the bride on fire, and
singing off the eye-lashes of both the
bride and the groom. In their fright
ened condition they became so bewil-
dered that they gave up to die. and
were both on their knees in prayer when
two woodsmen who owere fleeing from the
fire happened by, and being acquaint-
ed with the locality, managed to get
the couple to a place of safety. but not
before all concerned were more or less
burned.
The groom, whose name is l.. H. Ash,
was married to Miss Carrie Osborne
only two weeks ago, and both were
from this county They had just taken
up their residence in Davis. Mrs. Ash
is a daughter of D. p. Osborne, recent
" appointed by Governor Lowndes as
sistant weigher of grain. with head
quarters in Baltimore, Md.
Railroad men coming into the city
tonight state that heavy showers Of
rain have been falling at intervals dur
ing the day along the line of the West
Virginia Central railroad and that the
fires are now under control. Their
origin seems to have been the work Of
incendiaries, and they may break out
again.
