Yesterday morning about six o'clock
fatal accident occurred at the Frank
lin mines at Franklin, o., in which
William Mahan, formerly of Bellaire,
but late of Stewartsville, was the vic
tim.
At the time stated an empty coal car
was entering the mine in which were
]. Givens, who was sitting on the
front driving, and William McMahan,
who was standing in the center Of the
track. The car struck one of the sup
porting poles of the roof, and the next
instant the entire roof at the opening
Of the pit gave way, carrying with il
several tons of earth, stone and slate
which had accumulated there for years.
The driver escaped injury by jump
ing when he heard the crash, but Nc
Mahan was caught sQuarely under the
debris, covering him from view. AS
the roof struck him he was heard to
mutter low moan. Assistance was
Immediately summoned, and when the
work of uncOvering the body had been
completed he was found to be dead.
The deceased was about sixty-one
years of age, widower, and leaves
four children to deeply regret his sud
den end His Oldest son, Joseph, is
also a miner, and worked in Bellaire
previous to the recent strike. He re-
turned from Pittsburg yesterday to
Bellaire just as the news of the unfOr-
tunate affair had reached the city.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row, and the remains will be inferred
in the Wegee cemetery, at Wegee.

THE CHANGERS
Close an Interesting Meeting at Mar
tinsburg--.Efforts to Turn Down
Instructor Brown.

Special to the, Register.
Martinsburg, w. Va, October ID
The State Grange adjourned to-day to
meet next year at place to be desig-
mated by the executive committee.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture j.
H Brigham, Master, and John Trimble,
Secretary of the National Grange, adj
dressed the Grange, and afterwards as
sisted by N. A Bachelor, of New
Hampshire. conferred the sixth degree
up Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Clohan, D.
w. Skinner, NJ. L. and c. G. Brown,
George Henry, James Sperow, j. H.
Crawford and J. n. Sydenstricker.
They also eXemplified the unwritten
work of the order. Several addresses
eulogistic Of W. l.. Swope, prominent
Granger who died since the last meet
ing, were delivered. d. w. Skinner, of
Mason, and ]. H. Crawford, Of Green
brier county, were made members OF
the executive committee.
The State Board of Agriculture held
a meeting here yesterday to cOnsiderer
a communication from Auditor LafOl-
lette to the effect that under the law
no salary could be paid G. G. Brown
as assistant secretary. The Board re-
piled that the matter would be referred
to the Attorney General.
Mr. Brown was formerly secretary,
and the board at its recent meeting in
Charleston recognizing his eminent fit
ness for the position and desiring to
retain his services elected him assist
ant secretary and institute director
without any solicitation on his part
This was done in the face of the oppo-
sition of Auditor Lafollette and Secre-
tary of State Dawson, who had a can
didate of their own. Mr.. Rathburn,
however, was the only member of the
board on whom they could depend for
support in their efforts to defeat Mr.
Brown. The board has sufficient mon
ey appropriated for its purposes to pay
all all expenses of the assistant secre-
taryy, and Mr.. Brown, as institute di-
rector, can certainly draw his pay as
the board is expressly authorized to ap-
point an agent to conduct county insti-
tutes. At all events it can be safely
said the board will stand by Mr.. Brown,
although a majority of its members are
Republicans and he is a Democrat.

preme Court can always be depended
upon to turn political trick" Does
the Post mean that the Ohio Supreme,
Court has been Hannaized?
The courts decision, however, is a
comparatively small matter because
the ticket of the Negro Protective party
will be in the field and on the official
ballot, even though the Supreme Court
has decided that it cannot have the pic
ture of Abraham Lincoln at the head of
it.
And this ticket will make trouble for
Boss Hanna.
When this colored ticket was nomi-
mated, the Republican managers and or
gans affected unconcern. They profess
ed disbelief that any number of the coll
ored people were concerned in the
movement, and ridiculed the idea that
it could have the slightest effect on the
result of the election. The colored
people were all rock-ribbed in the Re-
publican faith, it was claimed, and no
inducement could prevent them voting
the straight ticket.
The old western axiom that white
man is mighty onsartain" applies with
equal force to his colored brother. II
Senator Hanna will turn to the second
volume of the "Recollections of John
Sherman" he will find on pages 1929
and 1882 some very frank and positive
opinions on that point in connection
with the poor negroes whose votes
were pledged by the "herdei's" to
Sherman at the Chicago convention of
1888, but who voted for Gen. Alger
The color of the voters skin does not
always insure his constancy to cand':
date or cause. The colored citize is
open to conviction as well as his hite
fellow citizen.
The Republican managers and organs
are opening their eyes to That fact and
are uneasy. Instead of ridiculing the
Negro Protective pity they are beg
ging the cOlOred voters not to be led
away by it, but to stand firmly by the
old party and especially by Bushnell
and Hanna, who are represented as the
true friends of the colored man. But
some colored voters have their own
opinions on that matter They are ac-
cusing Gov. Bushnell Of Indifference to
their interests and Senator Hanna with
breaking promises made to them liz
behalf of Mckinley when a candidate
for the presidential nomination and
again when a candidate for election.
They will trust to promises no longer,
for they have been proved worthless.
They want something tangible or they
will be revenged for bad faith.
Messrs. Hanna and Bushnell may well
understand that there are a good many
dissatisfied colored people in Ohio and
that the Negro Protective party is an
element that must be taken into con-
sideration.

"PRorECTIoN" IN CALIFORNIA.

According to the Chicago Chronicle,
the gospel according to st. Dingley has
borne fruit in California. The people
Of that State propose to have a little
Dingley bill of their own.
The Californians argue that if it is a
good thing for the United States to
shut out the products of other nations
it must be a good thing for California
to shut out the products of her sister
States.
Hence the home product agitation"
as it is called. has resulted in a propo-
sition for State law requiring public
institutions in contracting for supplies
to give the preference to goods manu-
featured in California. irrespective of
offers from producers outside of Cali
fornia."
This is the true. Mckinley doctrine.
1t IS The home market" idea. 1t is the
natural and propar extension of the
proposition that Rational prosperity
can be manufactureS by keeping cheap
goods out of the dbuntry and forcing
people to buy hfg{ priced goods.
The trouble WITH the California prop
osition is that it Invites reprisals. The
people of other Etates might object to

products which that State disposes of
to the amount Of 1925, 100000 yearly
The Californians will probably see
this objection before they take the ac-
ton proposed by the local disciples of
Dingley Otherwise the experiment Of
protection and prosperity along State
lines would be worth watching.

len Ball. the three-year-old child of Horace
M. and Fannie Ball, in the custody of the
child's grandfather, Edward Dunn, of 923

days ago, the father placing it with his
relatives in Fairfax county Va. Mrs
Ball also charges that her husband took
the child from her under the Dretense that
he wished to take the little one to a candy
store. Judge Cole ordered Ball, who is
said to be a conductor the Columbia

the courts order, charging that iie took
the child because, as he alleged. his wife
had been guilty of misconduct Judge Cole
was about to punish Ball for his failure to
obey his order. when the man promised to
bring the child into court yesterday after
noon, and the judge so ordered
Ball produced the little one at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Ball S
counsel. Mr.. Joseph Shillington. explained
that she will be unable TO be out for sew

ton also asked that the child be placed
in the custody of Mrs. Balls father pend
ing the final disposition of the case. and

parents took the little one away, it cried
out for its father, VINO nearly broke down.
