CINCINNATI, Dec. %, 1872
The hot water apparatus In the house OF Colonel
Moulton exploded with terrific violence this morn
ing. The servant girls had fired up the Kitchen
range when the hot water pipe burst tearing the
range to atoms wreckng the furniture and hurl-
ing Kate Connor, one Of the servants, violently
against the wall, under heap OF embers. Her
injuries from bruises were fearful and her cloth
ing was set on fire. Colonel Moulton succeeded in
extingushlng her clothing but not before she was
so badly Injured that her death this evening Is
momentariy expected. Colonel Mouton was badly
burned about the face and hands. The other SER
want was only slightly injured. The water In the
pipe outside Of the range had frozen, preventing
circulation. The force OF the explosion must have
been terrific, for the range was torn 10 pieces The
walls, ceiling and windows, as well as the furni-
ture, were badly damaged.


A similar explosion occurred, with alarming re
port, about the same time at the Henrie House
The guests were frightened and rushed down stairs
dragging their baggage. Fortunately no one was
hurt and the damage was comparatively slight
Tie cause OF the explosion was similar to the
first one.

According to one of our latest cable de-
spatches the Empress Of Russia is expected to
visit Naples at an early day, accompanied by
a fleet of Russian vessels of war. 1t is under
stood that Her Majesty will proceed directly
to Rome, and that there she will pay her
respects to the King Of Italy and also to the
Holy Father. Coming SO soon after the visit to
Rome of the Grand Duke Nicholas, it is not
unnatural that this expected visit of the En-
,press should be considered to have something
of political character. 1t is we'll known
that the relations of Russia and the Holy See
have for many years been of the most unsatis-
factory kind. The Catholics of Poland have
always been much more willing to submit to
the authority Of the Pope than to recognize
the authority of the Gar. The consequence
has been that the Russian government, hating
rs it does the semblance Of an imperium in
imperio, has steadily pursued harsh policy
towards the Catholic Church in Poland. For
some time past there has been manifested a
desire on the part of the Russian government
to conciliate the Holy Father. Certain bishops
have been exiled; their sees are now vacant;

A Washington correspondent writes ::
There was a ludicrous incident hap
pened at a concert last week. l believe
that it is an established fact that some

The women were allowed to leave, and

How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into

ease generally has its origin in impure

Though the irritation may be at first only
slight, producing little palpitation or
irregular action, yet by and by the dis
ease becomes firmly seated, and inflam-

has become too seated, and it will. by

That If those owning stock should be

stock raising would cease in the county

The Man That Don't Pay Tax:


We heard an esteemed friend
say, a few days ago, "that the
rail- cad tax, If carried, would
be carried by loafers and mig
gers" which We understood 10
mean: that part OF the people
who live by their daily labor
and who having no property,
pay no tax. This springs the
question: Has a man who pays
no tax right To vote upon d
proposition to levy a tax to lin
prove the countryl In order to
answer this proposition, let us
inquire who are the men that
pay no taxi They are the men
who Till our soil; who work our
mines; who drive our manufac:
tories; who carry on our com.
merce; who build our steam
engines and our ocean vesselsj
who run our railroads and
stretch our telegraph wires,
who furnish the life, and the
blood, and supply the muscle
and the sinews of war; who
save the nations and give them
their power. What is the
wealth of the world to-day but
the accumulated labor of tile
men who don't pay taxi The
noblest being that walks on
earth, is the honest man who
by daily toll maintains HIMSELF
cen though he pays no tax.
But these men do pay a fearful
tax; tax of body and mind;
the terrible tax of a drudging
life. And shall they he mute,
not have d voice in determining
the amount and the manner of
levying a tax, because forsoo.h
some other holds the accum1
mulated profits of their earn
ings9 No. God has placed
this world with all its capabili-
ty of development in the care
and keeping OF the men who
don't pay tax. Were it not for
their industry, natures mines
OF wealth would remain unde-
4


veloped; there would be 70
busy marts Of trade; there
would be no fertile gardens
and teeming fields. The world
would remain as it came from


the hand Of its Creator,
beautiful wilderness, and men
would roam the deserts like
the wild Indians OF our native
forests.-Thanks To liberty! our
government has recognized
the nobility of labor; ahd ey:
cry maj is equal at the polls.
Don't hesitate then when cleo
ton days comes, but go to the
polls, remembering that it is
no disgrace or misfortune that
you pay no tax, If you have no
property to be taxed. The
poorest man that walks has as
inalienable a right to vote up,
