Elected In Louisville.
Louisville, KY, Nov. "A conservative
estimate places the majority of Charles
+. Weaver. democratic candidate for may
orr over George d. Todd, the present in
cumbent, at from 5000 to $500. The entire
democratic ticket is undoubtedly elected
with him. Contrary to the expectations of
many the election was a comparatively
quiet one. There was not great deal Of
scratching and the minor personal issues
were lost sight of when the voters came
to decide on those involved in the struggle
between the leaders. There is no doubt
about the constitutional amendment carry
ing in Louisville. The returns from the
state are meager and unofficial at this
hour. According to these Shackelford
(silver dem) is leading Bailey Qep) by
about 5000 votes. The national democratic
vote IL very light.

LEEDY THE SILENT.

The Hon. John w. Leedy, of Kansas,
one of the most accomplished word Jug
glerS in the west, who is said to be able
TO keep one thousand words continually
in the air, is reported to have made a
strange confession at Lawrence, Kan,
the other day. 1t was at a picnic
where he was called upon for an ad-
dress. He responded that he would
rather watch a "hOss" race than make
a speech. A POpulist who would pre-
fer seeing a horserace to making a
speech POpuliSm is, as understand
it, the sublimation of verbosity. The
true professors of it sacrifice personal
comfort and put their mouths ever at
the service of their country. With the
octopus of plutocracy yet unslain, what
are a few words more or less to a man
who is a Croesus in verbosity! Has
Governor Leedy, through his acquaint-
ance with the dogs of Egypt got to
know also the fleshpots of Egypt, or
has office-h holding robbed him of some
of his stern and uncompromising pat
riOtiSm New York Tribune.
The Tribune must not judge Governor
Leedy by some other Populists it has
known. Governor Leedy is quite the
most taciturn governor that ever filled
the chair in this state. The governor is
so close mouthed that he keeps most
of his associates in doubt as to his
real views on many important sub
jects. Mr.. Leedy is not the funny
paper type of Populist.

GLASS-BLOWING MACHINES.
Non-Union Men Imported to Operate
Them at Mum Gle, Ind.

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 19.-The first con-
signment of men to operate the patent
glass blowing machines at Ball Bros
big fruit jar factories has arrived from
Little Washington, Pa, and a half
work today, and others will be placed in
position in the factories at once.
Previous to their arrival the informa-
ton was received that they were nom
union men. Since then there has been
much excitement among the hundreds
of other union wOrkingnIen who are to
be employed alongside the imported
men, and the hundreds of blowers who
have left their places as result of the
introduction of the machines. When
Bali Bros. applied for board and lodg-
ing for the men near the factory they
were refused, and it develops that the
union men had visited the houses and
given orders that resulted in the re-
fuSal.
When the new men came in they left
the street car a square from the fac
tory office and wandered around and
entered the building from the rear, with
the union men watching them closely
and making threats that have excited
the police. Muncie has the reputation
of being the strongest union town in
the state, and Ball Bros. have hereto
fore employed from 1000 to 1000 I'M
ion men the year round. The firm an
nounceS that it could not make terms
with the union f1int-glass pressers to
operate the machines, and was compell-
ed to secure the independent workmen.

THAT BICYCLE TRUST.
Tt is Admitted in New York That One
is Being Organized.

New York, Aug. 19.-At the board OF
trade of cycle manufacturers it is adj
mitted that the manufacturers of bicyc-
les now in Europe are working to form
a conSOlida ton of all wheel interests.
James Sullivan of the Spalding COM
pany says that the men who are ar
ranging the Re organization are ColPope
of the Pope Manufacturing company;
A. Spalding of Spalding Brothers; the
American Welded Tube company, Ed
land, O., and several others, principal
T. Hooley, Martin Rucker, the latter
lie company, and Albert Moore, all of
whom have been prominent in reorgan-
izations and consultations in England.
The idea to bring about CONSOLE
datiOn seems to have originated last
fall. 1t came about as the result of the
large oVer-productionS of wheels for
1886. During the year previous the
production of wheels did not equal the
demand, and as a result all the fac
tories worked overtime producing
wheels for the following season. The
demand not only supplied but the mar
ket was glutted with wheels. Almost
every manufacturer in the country was
OVerStOcked. Then came the slump in
the market, and the subsequent cut in
prices. Wheels that were made to sell
for 500 have been sold for half that
amount The agents auction sale re-
Gently was the result of this over pro-
duction. To prevent such a loss in the
future the consolidation was suggested.

COALFAMINE IN WHEELING
Man ufactor;es on the Ohio Side Fore
ed to Shut Down.

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 19.-The local
coal situation is beginning to grow
serious. The city gas works had what
was always deemed a sufficient adj
vance supply of coal from the Floor
sheim mines on the Wheeling division
of the B. & o., but this supply is now
growing decidedly short and new ar
engagements will soon have to be made.
Coal is selling in local yards at II cents
a bushel, just double the usual price.
Slack brings cents, and both are hard
to get at those rates. There are 500
families in Wheeling in need of coal,
while all manufacturers that do not use
gas, are hampered for fuel.
On the Ohio side of the river manu-
featuring establishments using thou
sands of bushels of coal daily, have had
their supplies cut down or shut off. In
the Fairmont field, O'Connel and his
campers are still at the Montana mines
of the Watson company, having sue
ceeded in closing them entirely. The
march to West Fairmont and New
England is scheduled to begin tonight
when the United States court injunc-
ton will probably be served under
Judge Jackson'S new rule, that march
ing columns are an intended intimida-
ton and contrary to law. The move
ment in the Kanawha valley shows no
change.
A few more men went to work this
morning and Dilcher's column sue
ceeded in winning a few more recruits
in the upper valley. The new campaign
of the agitators on the Norfolk & West
ern railroad has apparently borne no
fruit.

English Corporation Will Start Five

New York, Aug. acknowledgements
have been completed for the establish

ton of which is to be begun in the
latter part of next month.
Five handsome and commodious
steamships, combining all the comforts
of ocean vessels, are now building for
the service. The corporation which is
to control the line is English. At it's
head are several of the best known
and wealthiest shipping men of that
country, notably the Wilson's Furness
and Leyland, all of whom are now
identified with several lines of vessels
which touch at this port, Boston and
Halifax. The capital stock of the COM
pany is esq, 900.

LIKE THE AIR MOTOR.
New Workers Witness a Performance
of LOGON olive Without
Smokestack

New York, Aug 19.-Passengers on
the Third avenue elevated last night
saw what appeared to be a locomotive
with the smOkestack knocked off. 1t
was making good time on the down
town track, two fiat cars and a real
engine behind it.
The odd looking machine was an air
motor. Between the two regular trains
but running on its own time, the
strange machine made its way down to
South Ferry junction, where it was
switched onto the Fifth avenue track
and towed up to Rector street. There
it was again switched to a sidetrack
and backed down to the place where
the air storage tank is located.
In about eight minutes the machine
was charged and ready for the trip, but
those in charge were well satisfied with
its performance and so laid it up for the
night. Speaking of the trip, Superin-
tendent Smith said it had been quite
satisfactory. There probably will be
an official trial in day or two.

SHOT STEALING APPLES.
Woman Catches a Child in Orchard
and XII Is Her.

Columbus, O., Aug. 19.-News of a
shocking murder committed about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, reached
this city from West Jefferson today.
Mrs. Taylor, a farmers wife, from
near that place, is the alleged murderer
and a little girl the victim. An orchard
was the scene, apples were the cause
and shotgun the weapon.
1t seems that the child with her lit
tie brother, entered the orchard, when
the Taylor woman opened fire with a
shotgun.
The girl dropped, fatally wounded,
the boy escaping. The woman, when
later put under arrest, admitted the
killing, but said that God had told her
to do it,
The scene of the tragedy is close to
the Madison county line, there being
some question here as to which of the
two counties the murder was commit
ed in.
The woman was taken to London by
the marshal of that place. The dep
uty sheriff of this county has just left
for London and the scene of the TRACE

HIS LAST BITE.
Child Nibbles at a Pyrotechnic Bomb
-Neighbors do the Rest.

Newark, N. J., Aug. 19-Pasquale
Parmiere, years old, through his in
quisitiveness, had his head blown to
atoms by the explosion of a pyrotech-
mic bomb.
Little Pasquale, spying a peculiar
looking object in the gutter at the cor
ner of State street, picked it up. He
proceeded to investigate, and displayed
his find to his comrades. But a mere
ocular inspection did not satisfy the
young scion of Italy.
'Looka, looka," he shouted to his
playmates as he fondled the new-found
toy.
'Whata is it?"
"Wherea you getta?" his companions
questioned.
See me eata," Pasquale cried and
began to nibble at the protruding fuse.
He neared the magazine part and
took final bite. 1t was his last, for
as his teeth impressed the deadly charge
there was an explosion and the little
fellows head was blown into innumer-
able pieces. The decapitat ted body was
viewed by County Physician Washing
ton and ordered removed to the Par
miere home, 20 Boydon street.
The death-dealing bomb had proba-
bly, been overlooked when last nights
pyrotechnic display was exhausted.
