TROUBLE IN The WOMEN's NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION Al BUFFALO.

RUFFALO, y. y, July ga lively
ouarrel occupied most of the opening
session of the National Association OF
Colored WOmep at the Women ;
Union Building today. Mrs. Mary
Terrell, who is President of the Ma
tional Association, and Mrs. lawson,
President OF the Harriet Beecher
Stowe Club, of Washington, both live
in Washington, and have just bad a
bitter controversy.
Mrs, lawson tried to speak at the
convention today and Mrs. Terrell
ruled her out Of order. The Conven-
ton took sides on the question. Mrs.
Terrell said:
a. could tell you why believe Mrs
Lawson should not be heard
on this floor, but the explanation
would be TOO terrible 10 hear. This is,
indeed, painful, but il is nay duty"
Mrs. Lawson's friends demurred,
insisting that she had done more work
for the higher education Of the col
OTed women than anyone living.
Mrs. Terrell had her way when il
came 10 a vote. although Mrs. Law
sens partisanS included Mrs. Booker
T. Washington, Mrs. Lucy Thurman,
and many other prominent delegates
who did not believe quTrels should be
brought TO the convention. Mrs. Law
son left the convention.
The above news item has been
flashed over the wires from land TO
land and from shore to shore and
is not calcula cd to shed lustre and
renown upon the participants in
this scrimage. We hope for the
noble cause in which our good
leading women are engaged that
differences Of a personal character
will hereafter be settled behind
closed doors.
1t Is bad example 10 set before
the world for such exemplary peo-
pie to carry their disssnsionE to the
Paa-American Exposition to
plant them before the world. 1t
is very bad form. Among the
speclOus arguments used by those
who sdvocat the movement TO re-
gulats the colored people back to
political slavery is the saying that
1t is mistake to suppose that the
N5gr0 and that his best friends
are those who most earnestly de-
sire to see him eliminated from
the political equation as factor OF
Importance. Nay the Lord de-
liver as from such best friends.
Another plea is that the negroes,
care very little about the franchise
and it is further claimed that the
troubles in the South have come
from politicians who have excited
the Ignorant fears Of the negroes
and thus arrayed them solidly
against the whites. Perhaps the
fears Of the negroes were we'll
founded. They were tod that
whenever ths Republican party
went down il would be the end Of
their political rights. They were
told SO BY the leading Democrats
them selves IN pUbic off ial writ
ings AM speeches, so the colored
ie)p'e simply took tas Democrats
q, their vo-d aud have followed
the Republican party because it
was the party OF freedom and
political liberty. The movement

inhabitants thereof may be tod in

Letter TO Landers & Wyman.

Dear Srs: Suppose you are going to
paint house, and ask all the painters
ther5 are within reach to bid on it-you
furnish materials, they 20 say what to
use, and charge for time and the know
how.
How many will use the same paint? =?
They, generally, will compound their
own paint
There will be no two alike. And this
is the end of the notions that painters
know how to make paint.
They know how to put paint on; and
that is their business.
They ought to know what to buy. How
many of them knowwhat to buy?
A blacksmith buys nails, because bet
ter shoes and nails than he can make are
made for less than he can make them for
by machinery. Waggonmakers buy
wheels, bscause better wheels than they
can MAKE are made for less than they can
make them for-by machinery.
Why should painter make his own
paint, when he can buy better for less
We takethe risk of how it turns out, be-
sides. Devoe lead and zinc Is the paint
lasts twice as long as the average paint
er's paint-lead and oil.
Yours truly,

TERRIFIC GIyCERIyE EXPLOSION.
Clarence Ward ami Frank Gross
Blown 10 Atoms.

Many of our peoble were startled
about half past ten o'clock last Thursday
morning by an explosion which seemed
only short distance from town. Build
ings were Jared and windows shaken as
il by some heavy weight falling on the
floor. The cause proved to be the explo-
sion of 500 or 1000 quarts of nitro glycer-
inc in the factory Of the Harper Company
near the Rynd farm on Oil Greek, per-
haps Is miles from Tionesta.
Clarence Ward and Frank Gross were
the only men in or near the building
when it went up, and as is usual in such
disasters there is no one lett to tell the
story of how it happened or what caused
the explosion. They had gone to the fac
tory early in the morning, Ward having
charge of the plant, a position he had held
for about 8 years, the other victim being
his helper, Everything within radius of
several rods was demolished, an oblOng
hole nearly twenty feet de p being torn
in the ground, and the trees for several
ibho hAbhhh bClhE sNFIDpth VI Ahtli
leaves. A horse driven by the men was
found some distance away dead, but
without scratch visible on his body.
All the machinery in the buildings there
being two of them each 3Ox6O feet-was
warped and twisted into almost unrecog-
nizable shapes, part of the main shaft
ing weighing nearly hundred pounds
being found a good quarter OF a mile
from the factory
Clarence Ward was twin brother OF
/ Claud Ward, FILLED in similar expln-
sion near Franklin six years ago, and
whose place at the dangerous business he
had filled ever since. Both boys wire
former residents of this place and the de-
ceased was well and fayorably known tn
many of our citizens. He was aged 81
years and leaves wife and two small
children. The other victim was single
and lived not far from the scene of the
awful explosion.
