From the Hanover Record and York Ga
zette we take the following:
Mrs. Barnhart STEMS large bank barn, in
Windsor township, was destroyed by fire
with most of the contents, including large
crop of wheat, farming utensils, one horse,
four hogs and some chickens. The loss Is
about s., 500.
At the home of Jacob Shue, in West Man
helm township, near Centre school house,
during the thunder storm Monday afternoon,
the lightning played havoc with the building
The lightning struck in the chimney, tearing
it and the gable end of the house in a serious
manner; proceeded to the cellar, running
along the stills and from there up the cellar steps
through the kitchen into another room,
where three occupants of the house were sit
ting, tearing the floor from the joist; from
thence into another room and out through a
window, breaking all the glass, and killing
three chickens on the outside. The mracu-
lous part about the occurrence was that
neither of the persons were shocked in the
least.
Elvira, the 8! year old daughter of William
Miller, OF Turnpike Station, met death IN a
horrible manner on Saturday afternoon. The
little girl was playing in an oats trough IN the
barn with her little brother, when suddenly
the lid of the box closed right on the child's
neck crushing out its life. The father was
working in the hay field at the time and did
not return to the barn for over an hour, when
he found his little daughter clutched between
the lid of the oats trough. The little boy had
left before the accident befell his sister.
James Masemer, aged sc years. of Glen
vile, died on Saturday last
During the thunder storm on Monday the
lightning struck binder working on the
farm of Henry Treiber, near New Oxford.
Mr.. Treiber was driving the horses, and his
son-in-law. Emory Hershey, was on the
binder A bolt of electricity struck the
binder skipped over Mr.. Hershey without
iniuring him, and knocked Mr.. Treiber off
the horse, rendering him nsensible for a
short time, and set fire to the wheat With
great difficulty Mr.. Hershey extinguished the
flames, so that very little damage was done.
Recently while Hon. j. R. Bittinger, of
Hendrix, was on his way to visit neighbor
he was attacked by eight pole cats. Had it
not been for his bravery, his presence of
mind and his marvellous strength, he would
have lost his life, but. having these three es-
sentals. he made head long dash for the
fence, seized and tore rail from the post
fence, and by his great skill in handling it
succeeded in slaughtering seven of the ami
mails the eighth one escaping.

contaminated on Wednesday, when the United
States Senate passed the annexation resoln-
tons by vote of ~ to p which had prevl-
ously passed the House by large vote.
The resolutions of annexation, of course,
will have to be signed by the President and
sent to Hawaii for the approval Of an alleged
government there, which was set up by Dole
L Co., after they seized the government
buildings and expelled the Queen, under the
protection of United States marines. The
Dole government will Immediately accept the
resolutions, and the theft Of the islands will be
complete We shall publish a sketch Of the

Democracy Versus Imperialism
From the Boston Post.

The historic attitude of the Democratic
party has been in favor of the extension of the
territory of the United States All additions
to our national domain, with the single eX-
ception of Alaska, have been made under
Democratic Administrations and as Demo-
cratic policy. But there is this difference,
namely, that the Democratic acquisitions have
been made on the American continent, of
contiguous territory, of homogeneous or read
lily assimilated population. 1t never entered
into the Democratic policy to reach out 5000
miles for islands peopled by race which can
never become AmericaniZed and then to step
6000 miles from our shores to absorb millions
of Asiatics with their territory.
And when at last this policy becomes the
dividing line of the parties, it is significant
that the old Democrats, those who left the
party on the issues formulated by the last
Chicago Convention, are found thoroughly in
unison with the new Democracy. The most
outspoken opponents of imperialism" are
these conservative Democrats. This issue
seems not only to have marked the party divi
sion, but to have solidifed the Democracy on
its side of the question.
In addition to the party question involved,
the economical question of labor interests is
concerned in the issue. If we were to take in
the Philippines as States or Territories, with
their motley population as citizens, we should
bring at once the pauper labor of the East in
competition with the free and self respecting
labor of the Western Hemisphere. The prob
lem which political economists have long dis
cussed accidentally would become question
vital to our industries.

Our Small Death List.
From the Baltimore News. July Z.

From the Baltimore News, JULY.
According to the list of dead and wounded
published in The News today, which purports
to be complete mp to date, the American loss
in the fighting at Santiago is much smaller
than was anticipated. The total number of
wounded, 100, is very large in proportion to
the number engaged-one man in every ten
or less being hit-but the list of dead is
amazingly small. The latest report is that
of the wounded 100 have died. OF the 1850
other casualties it is believed that very lew
wiIlprove fatal On the other hand, it is
reported that much greater damage was in
flicted on the enemy. In one trench, dis
patch says, $50 dead Spaniards were counted.
lfto these are added the enormous loss of
1900 in killed the naval battle, it viii be seen
that the enemy is suffering immensely more
than our own forces.
