Young James G. Blaine Knocks Out New
York Siiverite.

A young man who gave his name as
Jordan Jones, but whom the New York
Herald says was James g. Blaine, the
son of the dead statesman, got into an
argument on Saturday in New York
street car with @ man named CLANCY
over the silver question, and from
an argument Of words it developed into
one of blows Young Blaine affirmed
during the course OF the debate. when
Clancy declared William Jennings Bryan
to be the savior Of the working man,
that all such stuff was Outrageous rot. %
CLANCY called Blainea "leather headed
swell" and when he alighted from the
car yelled out to Blaine: If you1l come
out here I'll punch the head off you and
Bill Mckinley too. 5"
Blaine got off the car and didn't do a
thing to CLANCY, but knock ous two of
his front teeth, blaoked his eye and final
lysended the matter by lying the warlike
silverite prostrate at his feet. In the
Jefferson Market Police court Jordan
Jones'' as he styled himself was fined $40

Democrats Recall Action of Falmouth
Club.

sewaii's Position Was Then Repudiated-
What Should WinsIow Do?
There is no little perturbation in local
Democratic orioles over the nomination
of Arthur Sewan, and the position in
which E. B. Winslow finds himself in
regard to the two platforms. The news
Of the nomination of SewaN was received
with positive rage and disgust by many,
especially by those members of the Fall
mouth Club who, year ago. participat-
ed in administering spanking to
Sewall for his free silver views On June
%, 1895 the club held meeting. They
had heard that Sewsll had declared for
silver. What they did was descri bed as
follows In the Argus next morning.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Tal-
mouth Club was held last evening, and
the following resolution drafted by Col.
A. W. Bradbury and d.. S. 6. Gordon
was unanimously adopted:

Carlisle for his luminous exposition
of the sound money principles Of the
Democratic party.
There issa strong sentiment in the Fall
mouth Club that Mr.. Winslow in his
forthcoming letter Of acceptance should
emphasize that he adheres to the Maine
platform, and that be repudiates the Chi
cago platform. Some Of the most prudent
ones, however, think that he should con-
tent himself with silence in regard to the
national platform.

by Mr. Arthur sewall to the Morning
journal of New York, and which is
printed in another column, had not been
generally seen by local Democrats yes
terday. That, coupled with Mr.. Win.
slows denial that he ever promised, as
Mr.. Sewal represents, did not tend to
encourage lamb-like feelings among
the Domoc rats who saw the despatch.

wealth OF Beauty.

(Which has the best chance of marriage,
the heiress or the beauty?' was the query
propounded by an English newspaper re-
Gently. The prize winner was a young wo-
man who replied that "a lovely face is very
attractive, and men pay much attention to
its happy possessor. But there is won
derful glamour surrounding a woman who
is popularity supposed to curl her hair with
bank notes which no amount of personal
charm can ever supersede. Men with little
or no money generally desire well lowered
girls as wives, while rich men do not find
it unpleasant to add to their wealth, and
by choosing an heiress, carry out the old
Hdage Of riches go to riches. /"

WHERE 5000 WERE KILLED.
Further Particulars OF the Awful Japan
Disaster.

San francisco, CAL, July 13.-The
Toxic correspondent Of the United Press,
writing under date of June 26, describing
the devastation wought by the tidal wave
on Juno 10, says that at half past eight
'ciook.
in the evening the wave struck the
northeast coast of the mainland, through
out a distance of about two hundred
miles, and in five minutes 30, 900 people
were killed, 1850 injured, and IL. O00
houses destroyed.
The general direction Of the wave APP
pears to have been north by east or.
after carrying devastation to the shore of
the main island it left YeZo on the west,
touching that island at Yerimo oaps
only.
Several accounts agree that at about
seven O'Clock three or four shocks of
earthquake were felt, not violent, though
of the vertical kind that folks in Japan
dread. The barometer gave no Indication
of anything unusual. Some twenty OF
twenty five minutes later a booming
sound became audible from the direction
of the sea. Only very few suspected
the real significance of the sound. Rapid
" the noise increased until 1t assumed
the volume and deafening din OF great
park of artillery, and then In q moment
were laundering against the shore The
terrible totals at this moment of writing
are 90, 073 killed, 7737 wounded and 1884
houses washed away or wrecked. In the
prefecture of Iwat were SO towns and vii
lagos on the const and these were visited
by the wave and %, 418 persons were
killed and 6, TIA wounded out of total
population Of 1O4,771, SO that of every
three inhabitants one was killed or
wounded.
Statistics from Miyagi prefectur re show
that out of 1876 deaths in twenty vii
lagos, S76 were males and 500 females.
The scene presented by the devasted dis
triots is shocking. Along the beaches the
ii bers of wrecked houses lie piled upon
each other. moss covered roofs of tlatch
that sheltered happy families few days
ago in quiet country hooks, are strewn
nail mell on the sands. Here houses that
have had their walls torn away, stand,
mere skeletons, others have been
wrenohed from their foundations, tele-
scoped into each other, tumbled up and
down or heaped in shattered confusion.
