SWALLOWED LIKE JONAH.
Duck Escapes Alive from Goldfish,
But Is Ehot.

At Nantucket. Mass, a fisherman
brought ashore q huge goldfish. While
dressing his fish a hunter stopped to
eat. The big cod caught his eye,
and the fisherman opened It. There
was a commot!on within. and to the
astonishment of the onlookers out
fluttered q full-slzed "shoal duck. "
Apparently dazed the duck lowered
overhead q second or two prepara-
tory to starting on its flight but 1t
was a fatal hesitation, for the gun
ner promptly threw his double-bar-
rel to his shoulder and fred, killing
the bird. On seeing the fisherman ap-
proach the bird dlved and had been
swallowed whole by the Goldfish,
which a moment after was caught.
Enough cir passed through the gills
of the fish to permit the duck TO
breathe.

Killing Sixteen People and Ipjuring
Twelve Others Badly.
THE CAUSE is UNKNOWN
A Terrific Explosion at the More
wood Ice Company's Plant, at
Morewood Lake, Mass, Thursday,
Spreads Death and Injury Among
the Workmen, on Duty.

Sixteen workmen were killed
Thursday when boiler at the plant
of the Morewood Ice Company, at
Morewood Lake, two miles south OF
Pittsfeld, Mass, exploded. Twelve
were killed instantly, one died short
ly after the accident and three others
died In the hospital. In addition, IL
men were Injured and It was stated
It was feared two of these will die.
AT a special meeting Of the city
countll resolutions were adopted call
ing for immediate actions to supply
the wants OF the fatherless and In
jured and in short time nearly $3,-
900 had been subscribed. United
States Senator Winthrop Murray
Crane headed the list with $500.
Gathered Thursday forenoon III
and about the little boiler building
were about 125 men, mostly Poles
and italians, at work. With ter
rifle crash the boiler burst. Bodies
Of men and fragments Of iron and
timber were hurled through the air.
Most of the workmen who were not
killed outright were either injured
or dazed by the shock. Physicians,
ambulances and automobiles were
rushed from that city to the scene
and the injured we're hurried to hos
pitals there.
When the explosion occurred one
body was blown a distance Of 200
feet and another $50 feet. The CYL
inder of the boiler was found In a
tree on the edge of the lake, more
than 100 feet away.
The ice house is about two miles
from PittsHeld, and 1t was some time
before word Of the disaster reached
there. Every am bulance was imm ed-
lately dispatched to the lake. The
ambulance service. however, was to-
tally inacequate to the needs Of the
occasion, and automobiles were used
to aid In the work of removing the
injured to the hospitals.
One. Of. the owners of the Mors-
wood Ice company said that the boil
er was inspected during the summer
by an inspector of the State police,
who ordered certain changes and
that these changes were made.
Thursday he said a test Of the water
guage showed that instrument to be
in perfect condition. William Dunn,
one of the men who was killed, was
in charge Of the boiler Thursday.
He was an experienced engineer.
The boiler was used in furnishing
the power to drag the cages Of Ice
up the inclines into the ice storage
houses. The police department has
ordered an investigation of the ex-
plosion. The property loss will not
exceed $500.

SOLD their VOTES
WHOLESALE CORRUPTION IN
THE LAST ONO ELECTION.
Many Farmers and Others Confessed
to the Court That They Accepted
RSihes.

A dispatch from West Union, o.,
where the court has been engaged
for sometime in trying election brib-
cry cases, says there was another big
cleanup Tuesday by the grand jury
which Is investigating the charges Of
vote bribery in Adams county.
The grand jury Tuesday reported
1872 indictments and carefully revis-
ed figures, bringing the present total
up to TAT. It Is expected that 14o
more indictments will be returned.
OF those arraigned Tuesday 70
pleaded guilty and four not guilty.
The usual fines aud disfranchise-
ments were imposed on those con-
Tossing teir guilt.
Fully one-half of those who have
been before the court seem to favor
the investigation and openly declare
1t is proper.
Because he had made mistake in
telling the court Monday how much
he received for selling his vote, Sam
Howell, aged "a. veteran Of the
War Of Secession, Tuesday walked
18 miles through the cold to correct
his error and to tell Judge Blair that
he had figured up and Instead Of
having received $11 as the purchase
price, he had been given SIS. How
ell was fined IS and costs and dis
franchised.
Frank Salisbury, who lives In
Franklin township, was arrested for
contempt of court and arral3ned for
trying to intimldate grand juror.
He also was charged that he had
been making Indirect threats against
Blair, through iniudicious remarks.
Salisbury was fined $50 and costs
and 10 days in jail, the jail sentence
being suspended.
Two new features developed at
the afternoons session Of the grand
jury Investigation. One was that OF
a woman selling her sons vote, and
the other concerned voter who was
bought in three different ways.
The woman is a widow, who lives
at PEBBLES. She Is accused of havln g
accepted IS for her sons franchise.
Both mother and son were indicted.
but neither has been arrested.
A farmer In Jacksonville precinct
Wednesday surprised the jury by ,hie
confession that he was bought three
times last election day. For his
promise to vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket, he said, he received
$12.50; on a contract to vote the
straight Democratic ticket he was
paid $40, and the price for agreeing
to vote for certain Democratic can
didate was 50.
He pleaded guilty when arraigned
and was disfranchised for five years,
fined IS and costs, and given o.
months in the work house, with lie
prison sentence suspended. One hun
dred and six indictments were. re
turned, which brings the totsl'up to
998.
There are indications that the
number will reach 1900 as predicted
by special Prosecutor w. B, Stephen
son.

DEaoo1, WHO VOTED FOR 1T
ARE b. g CRITICISED.
One Of Them, Congressman Pou, De
fends His Vote and Says BE is No
Prosect1onist.

r. r
The Washington correspondent Of
the Charlotte Observer says some
Democrats are getting sore because
Of the fact that in the forthcoming
cauchs to be held on Jan. ls there
Is likely to ne washing of.the prov
erbial political "linen," which Is not
as Immaculate, 80 some say, as II
should be. One of those who does
nc. thing he has had sQlare deal
is Representative Pou Of North Caro-
lima.
He denies that his colleagues have
deserted him and defends his vote on
the lumber schedule N the tariff bill.
"A story sent out from Washington
recently is so erroneous aad unfair
to me that I feel public correction
ought to be made" Mr.. Pou said.
""The statement Is made that /
cannot get The endorsement Of the
delegation from my own State for
the appointment en- the ways an1
means committee Of the slZty-secono
Congress because Of protection views
which I am said to hold.
This statement is just about as
far from the truth as 1t is possible
for eny statement to be. I do not
believe in the principle Of protection.
but. On the contrary, believe firmly
that. under the constitution, the gov
ernment has no authority to levy
and collect duties except for the pur-
pose Of raising revenues for It's own
support.
"A majority Of the mem bers Of tue

Con :ress have already assured me VI
their hearty support. / was one Of
the Democrats In the House who vot-
ed against tho Tawney amendment

bind every Democrat to support the
Tawney arlendments, but whether
my construction Of the platform was
right OF wrong, stated at the time
that would cheerfully yield to the
decision of the majority in Demo-
cratic caucus. I went even further
than tis--I stated to my party col-
leagues on the ways and means COM
mittee that il majority Of them in
sisted on bringing In a minority re-
port IN favor Of placing lumber on
the free list, / would not decline to
make the report unanimous-that is
to say, while had my own views.
about the lumber schedule. I would
yield those Views, IL e majority of
my Democratic colleagues on the
committee felt that we ought, under
the platform, to bring In report In
favor Of free lumber"
W;ehther Mr.. Pou will again be Sc
lected as member of the ways aud
means committee will depend upon
what his colleagues think of the
above statement.

pioneer settler. richest citizen and only
millionaire. The ceremony was per

Bryan's palatial home, island Park"

The wedding is the outcome of very
pretty romance. Miss Thayer is the
daughter of Albert NJ. Thayer of Chi

What Next9
If some one will please step forward
now and tell the democrats what to do
about electing a speaker for the next
house of representatives the informa-
ton will be thankfully received and
the wise one will relieve a serious stu

not know where they are at" They
are up in the air now worse than ever.

ty announced his withdrawal from the
race for speaker. Spencer had such a
strong lineup and had such tremend-

There is talk to the effect that a
large part of Spencers strength will go
to Homer McGinniss of Martinsville,
but McGinniss has not yet announced
himself a candidate for the speak

some of the talking himself, but at last
accounts he has not made up his mind
wether to go into the fight or not. One
of the significant features of the talk
about McGinniss is the fact that the
Taggart fellows are telling what a
strong fine man McGinniss is. They
characterize him as a man with a clean
