WATERTOWN.

The great picnic of Southeastern
Ohio is thing of the past for the year
1897 A more peacable and orderly
crowd of people never assembled here,
as the number is estimated from six to
eight thousand. Everything seemed
to work to the success Of the picnic.
The program was carried out to the
letter. There was no carorsing, no
drunkenness, quarrels or accidents to
mar the enjoyment of the occasion.
The addresses were all good and able
and listened to by a great number, but
we sh'to'ssay that small number
of such great crowd pay any atten-
ton to speeches. Handshal-ing, a
social chat, all enjoying a good dinner,
is first consideration at these social
picnics. We wish to say, Furthermore,
that it is very annoying to hear 50
much talking near the speakers stand
by people who should know better.
We wish to mention the able address
of Hon. S. II. Ellis. The Watertown
cornet band did themselves proud. Mr..
l.. 5. Bingham was elected President,
and Mr.. d, D. Brecke nridge Secretary
and Treasurer foI the coming year.
Mr.. A. L. Curtis and wife, of Little
Hooking, attended the picnic and re.
mained over Sunday with friends.
Mr.. II. NJ. Demipg, of Larkin, Kas
came to the picnic and the reunion OF
Company l, 14Sth O.V l., at Comrade G.,
W. Hagerman's, near Waterford, this
week. Mr. Deming was Sergeant
Major of this regiment.
Mr.. j. L. Scnweikert has purchased

ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
yeneering Works Soon to be Erected in
Marietta.

Neneering WORKS soon To be erected in
Marietta.
1t will be pleasant news for the peo-
pie of Marietta so learn that another
valuable industry has been located
here entirely without solicitation on
the part of the people.
Through S. A. Plumer & Son, Mr. j..
A. Frost, of Broadwell, O., has pur-
chased four acres of ground opposite
Lobdells rim factory on Montgomery
street and will begin the erection of a
complete wood veneering plant on the
property. Mr.. Frost is one of the
wealthiest men in this section of the
state and his venture here is certa n to
be not only a success, but in time will
grow to be one of the largest and most
valuable industries in the city, with
the possibility not remote that it will
eventually expand into other bra nches
of wood working.
Mr.. Frost is the owner of many
hundred acres of valuable timber land
in West Virginia which will furnish
him his supply of materia'. He will
remove with his family to this city and
reside here permanently.

to sapling. Then they gathered dry
leaves and brush, which they heaped up

and then set it on fire.

Protest Against Protective Features of
Tariff Bill.
Washington. March 22.-The report of
the minority Of the committee on ways
and means upon the tariff bill was pre-
sented to the House this evening by Rep
resentative Bailey, Democrat of Texas
the leader of the Democracy.
In part it says: This bill was framed
with the avowed purpose Of protecting
the manufacturers of the United States
against foreign competition and II it
accomplishes that purpose it must result
In compelling the consumers of this
country to pay more for their manufac-
tured goods and for this reason we think
1T should not pass.
1t is gross pervsrsion of the sovereign
power of taxation to employ it as
means of enabling favored classes to
levy unjust charges upon the great nody
of the people.
We deny the righrt of Congress to
make or enforce any regulation which
requires one man to give any part of his
earnings toward encouraging the increas-
ing fortune of another.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Boat Containing Several Dead Bodies
Picked Up at Sea.

Boat Was Sunk Nearly to the Waters Edge
and as an Attempt Was Made to Draw
1T Up the Dead Men One After Another
Tumbled Out.
New York, March 22.-Steamer Creole
which arrived today was seventy five
miles northeast of aatteras at ten o o'clock
Sunday morning. Two hours before she
passed the upper part of O steamship deck
board bow. and OH the western edge of
the Gulf stream, Captain eager saw what
he supposed was piece of wreckage.
The Creole moved near. The sun
glistened on the object and the captain
made it out to be lifeboat with wave
ripping over the gunwales. She was
flush with the sea surface.
The Creole came about running down
on the life boat until the latter was
under the steamers bow. A bow line
was strung over the Creole's port bow
rail and all officer was sent down with
the tackle. He got the hook in the big
iron eye at the stern of the boat, but only
after tramping on some CHASTITY dead
bodies that swashed about under the
thwarts.
''Heave away there" shouted Barrett
to the seamen above. The windla ss
oreaked aud the lifeboat's stern rose out
OF the water. From the other end of the
boat dark object moved. 1t hoated on
the Water an instant ana then with wide
opsn eyes staring straight upward disap-
peared. 1T was the body of q French sea-
man. 1t was quickly followed by five
Others. Two of the unfortunates were
negroes. One was caught in the amid
ship thwarts and stuck there. Barrett
foot disentanRled it and 1t disappeared
beneath tho water with the others. The
eighty odd passengers of the Creole
turned In horror from the sight. Follow
ing the bodies into the sea went a num-
Der of loaves of bread. They were intact.
A quantity of ships biscuit, which the
water had not disintegrated, several
packages evidently containing provisions
and several bottles corked and full Ut
liquid, also went overheard, with num-
bar of blouses, several pairs of heavy
French shoes, such an are worn by sailors
and other clothing.
The lifeboat was hoisted to the Creole g
deck. There were no sails or oars in the
boat. The steel oarlooks were there.
Captain eager said he thought the occu-
pants of the lifetboat bad been drowned
by the waves washing over them. The
temperature of the winter taken few
hours before the liveboa was sighted
was 48 degrees, not cold enough to freeze
a person to death.
