2 A MOB MAD WITH HUNGER. The Capitol at St. Johns Stormed Des pite the Police. <• Work or Bread the Demand of the Crowd—The Premier Promisee to Pro vide One or the Other Within Three Daye or Resign—The Mob Then Makes a Baid on Several Stores in Search of Provisions —A. Desperate Bight in Which the Police Are Borced to Use Their Swords Follows. St. Johns, N. F., Jan. B.—Disorder pre vailed here all day and It is nothing short of a miracle that serious bloodshed was avoided. The unemployed assembled early this morning and marched to the man-of war Tourmaline, whose captain yesterday had promised that he would use his influ ence with the authorities in obtaining re lief from the destitution’now prevailing. His efforts were fruitless, it seems, for ■when,the crowd of unfortunates appeared, he referred them to the governor. Disap pointed and exasperated at this rebuff, and. almost, mad with hunger, the men re formed their ranks and marched to the government house, where a deputation waited upon the executive. The latter in formed them that the government was considering measures of relief, and ad vised them, pending action on the bills, to call upon the city representatives for their immediate wants. The mob, for such it had now become, then went to the legisla tive buildings, but were refused admis sion, Enraged at this, they burst open the doors and surged into the corridors. The police on guard attempted to drive them out, but they were overwhelmed by the Infurated men and forced to retire, leav ing the building at the mercy of the in vaders. The assembly not being in ses sion, few members were in the building at the time, hut those who were, lost no time in fleeing from the place. The police re eerve were summoned and after a des perate struggle, managed to eject he in truders. t Tn the afternoon the crowd reassembled and returned to the government house, where it complained to the governor of its treatment during the morning, and ’ reiterated its demand for rellef.The gov ernor repeated his ad'Jce of the forenoon, ♦nd said he was powerless to act without the co-operation of the ministry. • Then the crowd once more made its Vvay to the legislative building. The hour for the convening of the sesion was near at hand, and knowing the de termination of the mob those inside, on being informed of its approach, at once began preparing to prevent its entrance. The doors were barricaded, and the whole available police force were sta tioned around the building. The crowd swelled momentarily, and soon the whole of the grounds in front of the structure was a solid mass of humanity, in the midst of which floated a large flag bear fng conspicuously the words “Work or bread,” while ejaculations of similar im port were made by the crowd. Finally the mob, seeing that no atten tion was being paid to its demands by those inside the building, made a rush for the doors. The police were powerless to stem the tide of the Infuriated mass, and many officers were injured. One ser geant was thrown over the steps leading to. the main door and seriously hurt, t While.another had tjts cheek cut open with a stone. While the disorder was at its hight Premier Greene appeared on the balcony, and in a speech expressed regret at the condition of the colony and the destitu tion prevailing among people. He promised that employment would be given within three days and begged the crowd to have patience and confidence in the government. He promised to resign If work was not provided within the time specified. This did not satisfy the crowd, who told him plainly that they would break into the stores and get food. This 1 threat the mob Immediately put Into effect. Marching down into the city, the rioters made an attack upon the premises occupied by Edwin Duder, who was recently compelled to assign. The crowd found the place empty and met with similar results in other stores. Johnston's store, near by, then received the mob’s attention. In this establish ment a large Quantity of provisions was found. Just as they were being car ried out a large force of police appeared on the scene and drove the mob away after a severe struggle, during which the police were forced to draw their swods In self-defense. A body of mounted police arrived shortly afterward, and the combined forces managed to keep the Crowd at bay until darkness came, when the rioters dispersed. Four of the lead ers have been arrested. The streets to-night are crowded with people. A guard from the warship Tour tnalina is doing patrol duty in front of the principal buildings as Is is feared that other raids may be attempted during the hight. Premier Greene presented a pitiful as pect when he appeared on the balcony of the legislative building to address the an gry crowd. He has been ailing since he accepted the office and the worry over the present turbulent condition of the colony has reduced him almost to a skeleton. FBANOE’S~DEPUTIEB. The Session Just Opened Expected to Bo a Stormy One. Baris, Jan. B.—The Paris newspapers agree in the prophecy that the session of the Chamber of Deputies of 1895, which begins to-dayy will be a stormy and eventful one. Henri Brisson was to-day re-elected president of the chamber by a vote of 272 out of a total of 310 r and the first business of the session will be a discussion of the question of the re lease of M. Gereault Richard, who is now in prison for having insulted Presi dent Castmir-Perier. M. Richard, who U the editor of the Chambard. a social ist newspaper, was elected to the Cham ber of Deputies a few days ago to rep resent the Thirteenth district of Faris. As the liberty of a deputy cannot be re stricted during a session of the chamber, the socialists demand M. Richard's Im mediate release from prison, and it Is believed that the government will be compelled to liberate him. London, Jan. B.—The Paris correspond ent of the Central News says the gov ernment Is resolved w determinedly op pose the efforts of the socialist deputies and their allies to secure the liberation of M. Richard.

The King and His Cabinet Make the Formal Declaration. ■London, Jaw. B.—The Central News cor respondent at Seoul telegraphs that the King of Korea yesterday proceeded to the ancestral temple and there formally declaredi.the independence - of Korea. He was accompanied by the members <sf his cabinet and other high functionaries of the government. The royal party was escorted by a body of soldiers armed and equipped in modern style. Ministers Bo kayeiko and Jokjahn were specially guarded by Japanese policemen, and the streets were kept clear by the new Ko rean police. The Central News correspondent at Fu san reports that the inhabitants of Kow Yo Ken, in southern Korea, have seized and beheaded three of the principal lead ers of the Tonghak rebels. The Tong haks are being pursued by Korean sol diers and in consequence of the death of their leaders the rebels are fleeing in all directions. A dispatch to the Central News from Seoul says that Lio Hun, grandson of Tai Won Kun, king regent of Korea, has been appointed Korean minister to Japan and will leave for Japan in a few days. A Central News dispatch from Toklo says that Premier Ito, speaking in the Japanese Chamber of Deputies yesterday, declared that the victories of the Japa nese over the Chinese were due to the bravery and loyalty of the army and navy, supported by the loyalty and unan imity of the people of the nation. He felt honored, he said, to occupy the po sition of prime minister at so important a> time in the country’s history. In view of the necessary w - ar measures, Premier Ito said, the budget would deal only with a few other urgent matters. When the war should be concluded, he said, the government would submit a number of useful measures, but in the meantime only the most urgent questions would be considered. A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai says that reports have been re ceived from New-Chwang, stating that during the assault of the Japanese on Soumch-Chang the town was set on lire andydestroyed, rendering 10,000 Inhabitants homeless, in a temperature of 40 degrees below the freezing point. The Japanese are cutting off the re treat of the 15,000 Chinese soldiers com manded by Gen. Sung, and the Tao-Tai of New Chwang, fearing desertions, has ordered that all soldiers who attempt to •run away shall be at once shot. GERMANY’S WAB ON SOCIALISM. i Deputy Auer Gives the Emperor Some Hard Rape on His Speeches. Berlin, Jan. B.—The session of the Reich stag, which was adjourned over the holi days, was resumed to-day. President von Levetzow made a very brief address, wish ing the deputies a happy New Year, after which the debate on the anti-revolution bill was opened by Herr Auer, social dem ocrat. The speaker said he understood that the bill had been originally conceived with the object of ousting Count Caprivi from the chancellorship. As it was now shaped, however, It meant a dissolution of the chamber in order to obtain a Reich stag which would be subservient to the government. Herr Auer twitted Dr. Miquel, the Prussian minister of finance, of having written a letter, now historic, in favor of the Paris communists. This, he pointed to as an instance of the minis ter's former advocacy of revolution, which he now sought to suppress. Herr Auer held that the bill would fo ment a system of agents provocateur like those employed during a former period of repression, when paid agents of the police smuggled copies of the Freiheit into Ger many and secretly arranged seditious meetings withOßview of making arrests. He was proceeding to discuss the articles of the bill seriatim, when he was called to o'rder by the president, who insisted that he should speak to the bill generally and not specifically. Her Auer, resuming, dila ted upon the prevailing tendency to make soldiers different from citizens and to create a feeling of antagonism between the military and civilians. There was a high authority, he said, which seemed to think it right to teach the soldier that it was his duty to observe such implicit obe dience as to shoot down his father or mother at the command of his superior officers. The soldier, he declared, ought above all others and above all things to feel himself a citizen. A SEIZURE OF EXPLOSIVES. Turkish Officials Claim to Have Un earthed an Armenian Plot. Constantinople, Jan. B.—The press of this city publish a dispatch from Zoki Pasha, commander of the Fourth army corps, sta tioned at Erzingjan, Asiatic Turkey, an nouncing the seizure of a large quantity of explosives intended to be used by Ar menian agitators. The newspapers also publish the details of alleged acts of mur der and brigandages by Armenian agita tors and commenting thereon, declare that the loyal element of the Armenians who have lived for six centuries under the just and sufficient rule of the im perial government heartily reprobate the lawlessness of their compatriot agitators. A NEW STEAMSHIP LINE. The Philadelphia Company to Bun Ves ssls to Charleston. Charleston. S. C., Jan. B.—A new steam ship line will be inaugurated between Charleston and Philadelphia on Monday next. The enterprise is represented in Philadelphia by the Philadelphia Steam ship Company, whose business relations are said to be extended, enabling it to Invite and command traffic. The new line will have feeders all over the north and west, and will be a competitor for all business offering between Charles ton and the north and west. HURTS MOTTS’ CANDIDACY. Zeb Vanoe Walaer Nominated for Speaker at Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. B.—At a joint caucus to-night of the republican and populist members of the legislature which meets here to-morrow. Zeb Vance Walser of Davidson county was nominated for speaker. He received thirty-sfct votes to twenty for V. E. Lusk of Asheville and six for George R. French of Wilmington all republicans. No populists were voted for. The nomination of Mr. Walser, will, it is understood, hurt Mr. Motts’ candidacy for Senator. The attendance at the caucus was small, being composed principally of republicans’ A RAILROAD DEAL. * Two Suburban Lines of Birmingham Sold for >350,000. Birmingham. Ala., Jan. B.—President Caldwell of the Elyton Land Company, has returned from New York, where he closed a deal for the sale of the Highland Ave nue and Belt railroad and the East Birm ingham railroad, suburban lines, to the Columbian Equipment Company of New I York for 3360,000.

It is said the Seaboard j Air Line will then come into Birmingham j over the East and West road. . THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK), THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895. WREATHS OF LOVING WORDS. Senators Pay Tribute to the Memory of Colquitt. Senator Gordon Delivers an Eulogy Filled With Beautiful Thoughts—The News of Colquitt’s Death Received With Tears and Lamentations by His Former Slaves—Few Men With a Career So Long and Brilliant Have Lived a Life So Pure and Blameless. Senator Walsh Speaks of the De ceased as k Soldier, Statesman and Patriot. Washington, Jan. B.—-In the Senate to day a resolution was offered by Mr. Mor gan and agreed to, calling on the Presi dent for copies of reports and documents relating to the enforcement of the regu lations respecting fur seals, and to the claims of the British government on ac count of the seizures of sealing vessels in Bering sea. The conference report on the military academy appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. Mr. Lodge’s resolution as to the with drawal of vessels of war from the Ha waiian Islands, was laid before the Sen ate. Senator Palmer took the floor to oppose the resolution, and his speech bristled with sharp and pointed sayings. Thus, after arguing that it was absurd for the Senate to demand reasons for the Pres ident’s action, unless it had also the right to compel an answer, he declared that organized curiosity was often simply organized impertinence, and he asserted that the President was maintaining the most rigorous policy of non-intervention in the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands. As to the existing’government in those islands, he said that it was an infinite impudence to characterize it as a re public. It was an aristocracy based on wealth. Just as Senator Aldrich, rep., of Rhode Island got the floor to criticise the Pres ident’s recent utterances on the inter view furnished to the Southern Associated Press, the morning hour expired, and the resolution lost its place of precedence, and was again remitted to the calendar. Resolutions were offered by Mr. Pugh expressing the Senate’s profound sorrow at the death, at the last session, of Sen ator Colquitt of Georgia, and suspending the business of the Senate to enable the senators to pay a proper tribute of regard to his high character and distinguished public services. Eulogies were pronounced by Senators Gordon, Turpie, Hill, Pasco, Mills, and Walsh. The speeches of all of the senators were of a higher order than are usually heard in the Senate upon similar occasions; All bore testimony to the affection of the speakers for the man and respect for the politician. The two Georgia senators spoke from knowledge gained in long and intimate personal association with the deceased statesman. ‘ Mr. Gordon said: “That character is strongest and best, which, subjected to temptations, manfully resists and comes through the furnace of trial with its fiber still strong and its original purity still preserved in active simplicity and sweet ness. “Tested by this standard, Alfred Holt Cdlquitt of Georgia was both strong and great. Subjected during his eventful life to ouick and trying vicissitudes of fortune arf inheriting a name hwoored and loved in dlls state and section, he hot only pre served his personal integrity and illus trious name untarnished, but increased thbJr luster by a blameless life of long, devoted and brilliant service to the church and soeiety, to his people and country. “Alfred H. Colquitt was surrounded in early manhood with all the temptations which accompany wealth. His large plan tations yielded him a princely income, which enabled him to gratify every taste and to indulge in almost every luxury, yet his life and manners and 'bearing never lost that beautiful simplicity and winning modesty which are the most striking evi dences of gentle natures and noble breed ing. His hospitality, while almost bound less, was so cordial and dispensed with such grace and absence of ostentation, as made restraint and embarrassment im possible, and gave to his guests the feel ing of restful ease and the perfect free dom of home life. His house furnished shelter to the suffering, his purse gave the poor aid and when the reverses incident to the civil war came upon him, as they came to all his people, he shared with them their distresses and poverty uncomplain ingly and bravely. “I should feel that my analysis of this phase of his life were indeed incomplete if I should fail to illustrate it by a refer ence to his relation to the colored race. Accustomed during a great portion of his life to the command and control of large bodies of slaves, always with kindness and justice, his cares for them and his in- SS—SfISSESBSKH-—S-BH-BHSISBS!—-■ Gjv Mrs. Jennie PecKer.|ff ‘‘How WejlYou Look” Friends Surprised at the Great Improvement. *C.

Every spring and summer for six years my health has been so poor from heart trouble and general debility that at times life was a burden. I was so emaciated and Weak and Pale that my friends thought I wou.d not live ’.ong. I could do scarcely any work at all and had to lie down every few minutes.

On the plantation, in the church ' and the school house his voice, his counsels and example were those of a friend, en couraging the lowly race to a higher life, and to more earnest efforts in pre paration for the exalted duties of citizen ship; and if his ascending spirit were cog nizant of the benedictions which follow its flight, it would be thrilled with an ad ditional joy at the tributes paid to his memory by the tears and lamentations of former slaves. “It is no exaggeration to say of him, Mr. President, that few men with a career so long and brilliant, have lived a life so pure and blameless, and left a legacy so rich and inspiring to the peo ple and accepted of God. "In the bosom of his native state we have laid him on his chosen hillside, where the music of the Ocmulgee’s waters and the weird songs of the pines will chant above him their everlasting anthem of praise and benediction.” Mr. Walsh said of Mr. Colquitt: "I knew him well, and I respected him for his many excellent qualities of head and heart. He was a man of gracious and noble presence. He had a kind heart and a pure and noble spirit. He was a. man of strong religious conviction. He did not believe that things happen just so in this world. He believed that all things here are governed and divinely ordained. He believed that even in this life, as a man planted so should he reap. He was a man of faith and of works, and he bejieved that* faith and works are essential to eternal salvation; so did he believe that even in this life success is best attained by faith and good works and by devotion to principle. “The Hon. Alfred Holt Colqpitt fol lowed in the footsteps of his illustrious father. He filled every office in the gift of his people with fidelity and ability. He was a statesman, a soldier and a patriot, discharging every trust and every duty Imposed upon him by his state and coun try. Like his father, he was possessed of fervent piety and professed and prac ticed religion. He was filled with genuine charity and exefnplified in word and act that great right of religious freedom which is the birthright of every American citizen. In him was found an ardent de fender of the principles of civil and relig ious liberty, upon which the fathers builded the most just and the most perfect government devised by human wisdom. “In his young manhood he served his country in the Mexican war, and filled one term in the representative branch of congress. “In the war between the states he fought for the independence of the southern con federacy and gained merited distinction for his courage and devotion to a cause that he believed to be right. He was one of the knightliest soldiers of that mighty host that challenged by its heroic deeds the admiration of the world and won the homage of mankind. In his chivalric na ture there was no bitterness. When the end came that brought wreck and ruin to him and his people, he walked in the paths of peace, and by precept and example, en deavored to build up the waste places and to turn the minds and hearts of his coun trymen to the government of their'fath ers, cherishing no animosities, but re specting and honoring the brave and patriotic men who fought for the integrity of the union. . “A soldier, patriot and statesman, he Il lustrated his state and country. Full of years and of honors, he has been gathered to his father’s mansion, leaving behind him a record of duty nobly done. The peo ple of his state honor his memory, and Georgia cherishes the shining virtue of her distinguished son. “It is fitting that the members of the Senate should eulogize the character and services of Senator Colquitt. He was an exemplar of those civic and heroic vir tues from which patriotism draws its purest inspiration. “In honoring the dead of the south and .the nofth, whose deedskmade they; Hvy*s sublime, the principles <r* republican gov ernment will be enshrined in the hearts of those who will cherish the priceless blessings of liberty. "Senator Colquitt loved his whole coun try. With his last breath, he invoked divine blessings upon tbe union of states that his fathers founded. In his invoca tion, he voiced the patriotism of Georgia and of the south for the perpetuity of the federal government, which he would have died to defend. This is the senti ment that animates the people of the south. It rises above party and above section. It is the message of peace and good will that the patriot heart of the south sends to the patriot heart of the north—to advance and defend the honor and welfare of our common country.” The resolutions were adopted, and, as a further mark of respect to Mr. Col quitt’s memory, the Senate, at 3:40 o’clock, adjourned until to-morrow.

TIN BODIES TAKEnTuT. .l— The Work in the Ruins of the Delavan House Still in Progress. Albany, N. T., Jan. S.—Workmen to-day continued excavation work at the scene of the Delavan hotel fire. So far ten bod ies, or rather what remained of them, have been uncovered. Two were removed from the ruins yesterday and five to-day. The three other bodies uncovered could not be removed to-day before darkness set in on account of the plies of debris which covered them. The bodies last found are more Intact than those already uncovered. All of the bodies were found in the cellar directly under the attic where the victims of the fire are supposed to have been quartered. Three bodies were near mat tresses when found, showing that the persons were asleep when they met death The only remains upon which recogni tion was attempted were those of a woman. One body was supposed to be either Agnes Wilson or Miss Ray Young, both of Buffalo. An inquiry into the cause of the fire was commenced to-night by the board of fire commissioners. HUNTSVILLE COLLEGE BURNED. Its 100 Inmates Escape—Rebuilding to Begin at Once. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. S.—A special from Huntsville, Ala., says: "The Huntsville Female College, one of the largest insti tutions of the kind in the south, was burned this afternoon. There were 100 boarders in the’building, all of whom es caped without serious injury so far as known. “The managers of the college have rented the military academy of Hunts ville and will open the school to-morrow. “The citizens have taken the girls to their homes. Work will be commenced on a new building immediately.” A BIG SCANDAL AT ATLANTA 1 , I The Police Department May be Probed to the Bottom. ; The Attack on the Recorder’s Clerk by Chairman English of the Police Com missioners to Be Followed by an In vestigation— Corruption and Bribery Alleged by the Principals in the Row. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. B.—The bitter contro versy over the office of clerk of the recor der’s court, with Chairman English of the board of police commissioners on one side and City Clerk Woodward, as principal on the other side, which reached a sensational climax a couple of weeks ago, when Chair man English ejected Amos Baker, who is the causus belli of the conflict, from his bench at the point of a pistol, has brought about the appointment of a council com mittee of investigation that will probably prove a counter-part of the famous Lexow committee before the wrinkles in the mu nicipal government are smoothed out. The committee has been given full power to probe the police department to the bottom in the investigation of Baker’s character and office. There is a bitter feeling on both sides. Chairman English, who is making the fight on Baker, is sup ported by the detective and police depart ments, and in turn counter charges of a most serious character will likely be en tered through Baker and his friends against the police officials, tending to show that they are guilty of coAuption almost equal to that of the New York department. In the language of Baker’s chief adviser, the only difference between the Atlantas and the New Yorkers is that in Atlanta they can be bought cheaper. It is predicted by those well acquainted with the situation that some big fish will be exposed if the lid is lifted clear off, and judging by the character of the charges lodged against Baker, there is every chance that this will be done. A fair idea of the case can be had from the official charges made against Baker, the present clerk of the recorder’s court, by Chief Detective Wright, who is acting under the advice of Chairman English. In these charges Chief Wright says Baker and Bill Hall were formerly partners in a saloon which was the rendezvous or crooks and thieves from all over the coun try, that they also ran a Sunday blind tiger, and that Baker has been guilty of several robberies, once robbing a man of $8 and a gold watch, and when he kicked got him drunk, and slipping an old pistol in his pocket, called a policeman, the vic tim finally landing in the chaingang for carrying concealed weapons. Other inci dents, with equally as strong proof, show ing that the recorder’s clerk is a bad man, are cited by the chief detective. City Clerk Woodward appointed Baker to office and therefore the fight is on him as well as on Baker. Charges of bribery are also pending against City Market Inspector Roy, and this branch of the government, as well as the police department, will have to brace up. Roy, who is accused of ac cepting bribes from market men who thus enjoyed the privilege of selling spoiled stuff, Is to be put in the rack by the board of health. DEBS GOES TO JAIL. The Appeal to the Supreme Court to Be Made This Week. Chicago, 111., Jan. B.—Eugene V. Debs and other officers and directors of the American Railway went to the c4>k county jail to-day to begin serving the sentence recently Imposed on them for contempt of court. There was no for mal proceedure. During the day the men dropped In one by one and surrend ered themselves to the marshal. The ap peal to the supreme court will be pre sented the latter part of this week, being now in course of preparation. The chances are that the prisoners will be obliged to remain in jail for at least two weeks before the supreme court can be heard from. Unless the decision at that time is favorable they will have to serve out their terms. • The United States circuit court was crowded this afternoon when Eugene V Debs, George W. Howard and five others of the American Railway Union came in to hear the decision of the court on the motion to quash the indictments charg ing them with conspiracy to stop the mails. The defendants were in the cus tody of United States marshals, having to-day begun serving jail sentences for contempt of court. Judge Grosscup stated that ( he overruled the motion to quash except in the third count of the indict ment, which charged that the stopping of the mails was Intentional and felonious. The trial was set for Jan. 22, in order that the attorneys for the defense might have time to go to Washington, when they will ask the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus in the contempt case. Dis trict Attorney Milchrist announced that the prosecution of the following Ameri can Railway Union men whose names ap pear on the omnibus indictment would be dropped, as the evidence against them is not sufficient conviction and the government did not desire to make a drag net of the case. utisiiimimtmiitiininntiitiiHiiiiiiiitiiiimimiiinmuHira IFMUi i® Iwlww > AND 'W i | I s . = | Freezing one minute, bum- | | ing up the next racked | | with aches from head to foot. | | When you’re in this condi- | | tion, preparations of quinine = | and opiates are more danger- = | ous than efficient.

B.—A horrible ac cident occurred here this morning. A young white man named Darling was cut completely in two by a circular saw, near which he was at work, in Nipper’s lum ber mill. Darling was carrying a slab from the saw, when the end of it chanced to strike upon the rapidly revolving im plement, and this threw him down in such away that the saw struck him about the middle. In an instant- his body was cut in twain, the head, shoulders and half the trunk falling amidst the slabs, and the other portion of the trunk and the legs being thrown into the sawdust heap. Dar ling gave one agonizing scream as the saw cut its way through his vitals, and before the scream" died away he was in two pieces. So suddenly was his life cut short that his mouth remained open just as it had been when emitting the shriek. Dar ling was a recent arrival here, and was very reticent about his antecedents, al though a chance remark or two led to a supposition that he was from the neigh borhood of Philadelphia. JOHNSTOWN IN NO DANGER. The Great Flood of 1889 Resulted From the Bursting of the Dam. Johnstown, Pa., Jan. B.—The Democrat to-day says the impression prevails pretty generally throughout the whole country that Johnstown is liable to another such disaster as the one of 1889, when thousands of human lives were sacrificed and hun dreds of thousands of dollars worth of property was destroyed. This impression prevails largely for the reason that floods frequently reported from here through the press agencies, and newspaper editors sieze such reports and parade them under start ling headlines calculated to arouse fear that the city is doomed to destruction. All this tends to Injure the city and the Democrat feeling that the press of the country, will cheerfully place the sltua-s tion of Johnstown right before the peo ple, has respectfully urged the publica tion of the following facts: A flood such as that of 1889, when the whole world was made to mourn, is not possible again. That awful calamnity re sulted because of the beaking of the dam of a great pleasure lake in the mountains several hundred feet above the city. The dam has never been rebuilt and never will be. The worst flood that could occur now would be an overflow of the river and the consequent inundation of cellars and the lower districts of the city. Such floods are of frequent occurrence just as they are in all parts of the country where there are streams.

The Washington Star Puts the South in the Attitude of an Uncompro mising Stand for the White Metal. The Successors of the Recent Till manite Revolution in South Carolina Ascribed to the Demand for Free OoinagS—The Situation in North Car olina Also Attributed to the Alleged, Popular Demand for Free Silver. Washington, Jan. B.—“ Free and unlim ited coinage of silver or'nothing’’ is the rallying cry of the advocates of the white metal in both houses of congress. The re cent declarations of Representative Bland and other free silverites in the House and the action of Senators Blackburn and Har ris, renewing their allegiance to free coin age in the face of (.the administration’s urgent appeal for conservative financial action, are applauded by other southern democrats of equal prominence. Represen tative Shell says a great majority of the people demand free silver and will not be satisfied until a law-to that effect is placed upon the statute books. The Star, in a sensational article on this subject,hoes the conservative business men of the south a great injustice by stating that the south is not now in the humor for compromises on the silver question and will be likely to withdraw her commission from any man, no matter how high his reputation or how loyal his past services, who wavers at this time on this issue. In support of this startling assertion the same paper cites the recent political rev olution in South Carolina as a com plete victory for the friends of free sil ver and a repudiation of the course of the national democracy on the financial ques tion. It is asserted that “The first rumb lings of discontent are said to have been occasioned by the failure of Senators Hampton and Butler to take a decided and advanced stand for silver. Ex-Gov. Till marh then an obscure young man, saw his opportunity, took this complaint against Senators Hampton and Butler for a basis of action, and founded an opposi. tion party with free coinage for its cry. Mr. Butler tacked as last and during the silver fight at the special session stood up for the free coinage course, but it wag too late to save himself. He is to give place to Tillman, whose course as sena tor is expected to be governed entirely by the programme.of the silver men.” The situation in North Carolina is also cited to illustrate the free silvter conten tion. The legislature in that state is on the eve of assembling, and one of its acts would be the retirement of Senators Ransom and Jarvis, and tie election of a populist and a republican tb succeed them. Gen. Ransom has been tn the Senate fort nearly a quarter of a century, and, until recently, was considered Invincible at home. Marion Butler, the populist leader, slated for his seat} is young enough to be Gen. Ransom’s son, and fins tjfeen promi nent in the politics of the state only a very; few years. His rise, the sliver inen Claim,' has been due. almost fekclusively to his bold championship of stiver. The • fact that Gen. Ransom, also, wrfw a friend of silver was lost sight of, the salver men as sert, In the later unsatisfactory record of his party, and .in his own failure to stand out, as the special session in 1893, against the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Mr. Butler has pledged himself to devote his energies, as senator, in every way possible to the rehabilitation of silver as a money metal.” With ’such a fueling rampant in -the breast of the free silver men|, the outlook for financial,reform is discouraging.

R. H. Shaw, a salesman in the carpet' housje of R. T. Corbett, was arrested on a warrant is sued at the reqbest of his employer to day, charging him with systematic rob bery. Shaw, who Is quite wfcll known in business circles, had been in My. Cor bett’s employment for a year, and is accused of having carried on his opera tions throughout that whole period. Th® total amount of his peculation Jias been made up. Several weeks ago an attempt was made to burglarize the safe in the office, and Mr. Corbett also lays this charge to Shaw’s account. The arrest brought out another sensational feature, being the charge made by both Corbejtt and Shaw that L. A. Tanulson, formerly a partner in the business, had been guilty of embezzling the funds of the house. Tanulson, who is one of the best known salesmen in the city, moving in good society, had no money Invested In the business, but his name appeared in the firm on account of his wide acquaintance.
