accompanied by several Of his officers.
As they stepped ashore, the land battery
fired a salute. The admiral called on

address at Meriden from the rear of the
train had been made memorable by a
single declaration. In that declaration
Judge Parker specifically named the
Standard Oil Trust as one of those
which is doing its utmost for republican
party success. In view of widely pub

Accidents i'm FOgs.

New York, Nov. A dense fog
which hung over the water this morning
like blanket was responsible for several
mid.river collisions, one of which for a
time threatened a marine disaster, The
most serious accident of the morning oc-
Cured in the East river, when the Wall
street ferry boat Columbia and the Nor
wich liue steamer City OfLowell ran in
to each other. The Columbia was as
sisted by the Lowell to dock in Brook
lyn, where she sank. There were n
casualties. The City of Lowell site
taking all of the Columbia passer gers
aboard, proceeded to her dock. TIE
horses sank on the Columbia. Sh' We
only slightly damaged. The bow OF .ne
City of Lowell tore big hole in the
starboard side of the Columbia,
and there is large hole in the port
bow of the City of Lowell. The pas
sengers on the ferry boat were panic
stricken. The ferry boat Somerset,
of the Fulton ferry line, was run into
aud somewhat damaged in the fog this
morning by the Garden City, of the same
line in the East river. After striking
the Somerset the Garden City fell aIoft
of an oil boat and then jammed into the
ferry boat Fsrragut. The passengers
had by this time become somewhat used
to collisions so that when the Garden
City whacked the oil boat again they did
not mind. That was not all, for the big
steamer Maine came up suddenly and
poked her nose just forward Of the Car
den City's paddle box. The boats lock-
ed but finally fell apart. The Garden
City made her dock without further mis-
hap. While the Lackawanna ferry boat
Bremen, bound for Barclay street, Man
haitian, was picking her way through the
fog, after leaving Hoboken at $3.50 this
she collided with the Erie
ferryboat Sterlington, which was moving
down the river from the west 23d street
ferry to Pavonia avenue, Jersey City.
The guard rails on one side of the Bremen
we're smashed and considerable damage
done to the Sterlington. Owing TO the
early hour there we're only few passen-
gers on the boats, both of which were
taken out of commission while the dam
age is being repaired.

A Runaway Car.

McKeesport, Pa, Nov. A disss-

in which one man was killed and eight
others injured, several of them seriously.
The car, which was in charge of Thomas
Farnan, got beyond his control at one of
the steepest parts of the line, and after
running for several hundred feet collided
with a heavily loaded coal wagon. Far
nan was instantly killed. The contents
of the wagon were thrown into the car,
and with the flying splinters, glass and
other portions OF the vehicle nearly every
passenger received serious injuries. The

Bold Robberies.

Chicago, Nov. AFTER being driven
from a down town drugstore by the de-
termined resistance of a clerk and a
Waterman, two masked hold-up men
last night, within an hour, robbed the
proprietor of a North Side drugstore and
escaped before the police could be called.
The scene of their first exploit was in
the Northwestern University building
The second and successful raid was made
at State and Ohio streets, one OF the
busiest and most brilliantly lighted dis
tricts. At the first place the roboers
met with resistance and fled. While
they were being searched for they were
busily engaged in rcbbing the North
Side store. One of the thugs was be
hind the show case, searching the pro-
prietor, while the others stood guard.
Suddenly a customer entered. The burg
lar merely walked toward him with the
remark that 1--WE are closing up for to-
night" The customer expressed re-
greet and left unsuspectingly. The rob-
bers got $40.
Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Four mask
ed men entered James I. Bladgett's pri-
vate bank at Hermitage, near Warsaw,
last night, blew the safe with dynamite
and stole $25, 900 or $50, 1000. The ex-
plosion awOke Miles Smith, who lives
near the bank, and be got out of bed
and looked through window just in
time to see tour men hurrying from the
bank with their arms filled with bags of
money. Smith went in pursuit of the
thieves in his night attire. The robbers
fired several shots at him, but he was not
hit. In the act of discharging their re-
volyers the bandits dropped several bags
of money. The revolver shots and the
cries of Smith aroused the whole town.
In few minutes posse was organized
and with guns and dogs is now in pur-
suit of the burglars whose whereabouts
are unknown. Banker Bladgett is the
"David Harum" of Hermitage. Seve-
raj years ago he was robbed of about
Sl3, 900, which he kept in his house.
This robbery was 10 large measure his
excuse for establishing private bank.

Bloody Battle With Italians.

Rochester, n Y. Nov. 4.-One
American, armed with a seven-shooter,
fought bloody battle against score Of
irenzied Italian laborers in swamp one
mile east oil the village of Egypt, three
miles southeast of Fairport, at seven
o'clock this morning. The American,
whose name is Dean, of Tennessee, and
who is foreman of gang of laborers at
work on the tracks of the new ROches'
ter and Syracuse Electric Railway, killed
one Italian, and MORALLY wounded au-
other before he sank in his tracks, bleed
ing from a hundred or more cuts in
flicted by stileltos and razors in the
hands OF the bloodthirsty foreigners.
Dean vas fatally injured and his death
is expected at any moment. In addi-
ton to the Italian who was killed, and
the one fatally injured another of the
aborers is missing, and it is thought be
was shot aud crawled off into the swamp
where he will be found later. When the
men reported Tor work this morning,
Foreman Dean ordered them TO push
the work along through the swamp.
The Italians refused to do so, saying that
they had no hip boots. Dean insisted
that the work 90 on, and quarrel arose.
One OF the Italians struck at the fore
man and the latter retreated. The
Italians then advanced in body -four
ishing stiIettOs and razors. Realizing
that he would be cut to pieces by the
maddened laborers, Dean whipped out
his revolver and put bullet into the
brain of the leader of the mob. With a
shout of rage, the Italians bore down
upon the foreman, who quickly emptied
his gun, one more Italian falling MORALLY
wounded in the breast. Another was
shot in the leg and was sent imping
away into the swamp. Deans face and
body was literally cut into strips, but he
fought desperately until consciousness
LETT him, and he fell insensible upon the
road bed. Farmers living in the neigh
borhood, who were attracted by the
noise, hurried to the scene and the
Italians fell back into the swamp.

JunGE PARKER in his speeches IN

the shoulder, and among the many tell
inc blows aimed at the trusts was 1--WE
must give up the idea OF making our
people pay dividends on mills that are
closed and going to decay-on stock
;s,ued without value behind it," Re-
npblicans are in the habit of referring to
the industries of the country as their
own bandiwork bat some times they get
caught in this claim business and to their
own embarrassment, as was the case Oh
Tuesday, when Senator Fairbanks, the
republican vice presidential candidate,
who has been making speeches for three
months, put both feet in it. AS reports
from indianapolis say democrats are
laughing at mistake be made on that
day in bis speech at Auburn, Ind. he
was standing on the rear platform OF his
car and off to his left were a number OF
pretentious fact )ry buildings. The Sen
ator said dramatically:
Those factory buildings, my friends,
speak in grandtr sentences OF republican
prosperity than could possibly do were
/ to talk to you all day. They tell OF
men being employed at good wages Oh
children we'll clothed and fed, OF COM
Portable homes and OF incentives for hon
otable emulation that come from the
American system of protection without
which that factory would be idle as so
many were under the last democratic
administration.
As migtt we'll be expected, so lud'-
cious was the situation that in fe"
minutes litter was running through the
crowd and some laughed outright Later
Mr.. Fairbanks inquired the cause OF the
merriment aud was chagrined to find
that the factory to which he had pointed
had not turned q wheel in two years and
was in the hands of a receiver. The ef-
feet upon the Senator was so marked
that he did not regain his cheerfulness
during the day. This recalls the fact
that four years ago in this city the Hill
Bakery was absorbed by the trusts, and
Mr.. VIM. j.. Bryan's prophetic words OF
four years ago when, visiting Ellwood,
Indiana, he said
Ere another campaign your factories
will be Idle, your tall chimneys SEND
forth no smoke, and although republican
legislation might be claiming all accom-
plishment of improved manufacturing
conditions you will know, and know to
your own sorrow, the fallacy of such
claims.
And now in that city the Radiator
works have closed, the American Win
dow Glass Co. is a wreck, the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company is closed, the Ro-
derfer Brick Company is in the hands OF
receiver, the Elwoo1 Furniture Com
pany has been sold at receivers sale,
the lawn mower company is moving
away and other factory wrecks abound.
One day, perhaps not far off, the people
will understand the tariff and the trusts.
They should start next week in this d.
rection by the election OF Parker and

with their votes

Terrific Explosion.

Fire which broke out in the kite hen
of the Central Hotel at Tazewell last
Wednesday night entirely destroyed that
building and considerably damaged sew
eral other buildings before it was gotten
under control. The large boiler in the
hotel kitchen exploded with terrif C
force, pieces of iron and steel weighing
hundreds of pounds being hurled through
the air and falling upon roofs of sur.
rounding buildings. The debris was
thrown for hundreds of yards and win
doSs all through the town were shat
tered.
w. G. Henderson, editor Of the Taze-
well Republican, was thrown violently
to the ground and covered with flying
embers, sustaining burns on his hands
and body. All the guests Of the hotel
escaped with their lives, but inany lost
their personal effects.
The outbuildings of the county Jail
took fire and the prisoners were turned
loose. Thomas Reedy, a white man,
confined in the prison on the charge OF
murder, acted the part of a hero, he
climbing to the Jail roofand fighting the
flames when nobody else ventured to do
so. His efforts saved the Jail from des-
truction.
The total loss is $50, 600. partially
covered by insurance.
