fifty years and never worked IN any
other town at the trade. His life as

in his palny days. one of the best

When young in the business he print
ed the Cobb and United States speller
for the use of the schools in this sec
ton of the State. In those days he
printed many volumes of noted publ
cations, and the whole edition of Alex
ander Halls noted book, "Universalism
Against ITSELF" which had large sale.
He is a man of wonderful memory, and
relates incidents of local history with
accuracy He read a great deal, and
was stored with knowledge beyond the
ordinary man. He was kind and gen.
erous in all his dealings, and has the
good will of all his acquaintance. He
is "a years old, and has two sons that

MARIETTA, o., June 1.-The hor-
ror of the nitro glycerine explosion on
the Kelly farm grows as additional
news comes in. The record now
stands five dead: P. j. Watson, oil
operator; Thomas Daniels, farmer;
Hazelton Spears, farmer; William Car
penter, ST., carpenter; Herman Spears,

The five injured are: James Spears,
farmer; Dawson Stottlar. farmer; Hen
ry Stottlar, farmer; John Stottlar,
farmer; Walter Daniels, farmer.
The three first named wounded are
not expected to recover.
The accident is the worst which has
occurred in the Marietta field, and it
seems incredible that less than half of
a pint of glycerine should have wrought
such havoc.
Coroner John Mcclure returned from
the scene tonight, and states that no
one was to blame for the accident.
The remains of Watson were brought
to his home in this city to-day. 70
was the only one who died instantly,
the other victims lingering some time

Another Packed Convention

To the Editor of the Register
SHINNSTON, W. Va, June 1.-The
Republican convention for Barclay
district was held here yesterday and
was like all others thus far held in
the First Congressional district. 1t
was called to name delegates to the
County, Senatorial and Congressional
conventions, and was packed and pre-
arranged.
1t was set for 10 a. M, and long be-
fore that hour gangs of a nondescript
appearance began to arrive, and it soon
was apparent that the convention
would be under the control of the
hirelings. A great many of the old
respectable and time-tried Republi-
cans became utterly oisgusted and re-
fused to attend, among them being
Hon. G. F. Randall, one of the Re-
publican Representatives to the Leg
islature in 1892.
1t developed later that free tickets
and a liberal supply of money were
furnished the miners at Enterprise and
Cheswood Park and elsewhere. They
had to be back at their places at one
o'clock, and the whole proceedings
were put through with rush in the
morning before the country residents
got to town. A Dovener Delegation
was selected by such means, but a
great many prominent Republicans are
vowing that they may be outwitted
by such cunning at the conventions,
but they may have something to say
in November.
The sentiment of the vast majority
of the staid, thinking people of this
section is favorable to Judge Camp
bell, but the Republican County Com
mittee's Doodle, red liquor and manip-
ulation secured Doyener delegation

ReeS the Fruitman,s Aids.

The necessity of -pollination of
fruit bloom is subject that should
never be considered threadbare. Prof.
Cook says his sister in California was
wondering, in 1891, why her fruit trees
were not bearing as well as usual. The
trees bloomed, but the fruit did not set.
Mr.. Cook suggested that it might be
caused by decrease in the number Of
bees, and accordingly an apiarist was
engaged to remove his bees to the
place, and at once there was marked
benefit. She has kept the apiary there
ever since. She feels that she can al
ford to pay for the presence of the bees,
and she is right. While other insects
might help pollination, this incident
shows that bees are the thing for the
business, and that in their absence the
hope of good fruit crop rests on q

GNAWED TO DEATH BY ANTS.
Horrible Punishment Inflicted by
Means of Red Ants on an American
by Mayo Indians.

A mining man who reached FL Paso,
Tex, from the state of Sinaloa. Mex
leo, tells the story in detail of the
terrible punishment recently inflicted
on James Wilson, a renegade Ameri-
can prospector, by Mayo Indians.
Wilson frequently visited the villages
and finally won the affections of a
handsome young girl. Instead of mar
rying the girl, according to the rites
of her tribe, he is said to have decoy-
ed her to his camp in the mountains
and kept her there against her Will.
She finally escaped to tell the story
and Wilson fed. He was overtaken
AND carried back. AS a punishment
for his crime it was ordered that he
be put to death by method common
with the Mayos. The prospector was
stripped of his clothing and bouno
across an ant hill infested by large
red ants. After many hours of hor
rible suffering as the insects slowly
gnawed away his flesh Wilson eXpir
ed Wilson was reputed to be fugi
tive from justice from Oklahoma.
