AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
ORGANIZATION OF A PROTECTIVE
TARIFF ASSOCIATION.
Its Motto: “The Horne Market to the Home
Producer”—lts Object: ’To Secure
and Maintain Protect ten to Ameri
can l4ibor and Industries,”
Niw York, Jan. 16. —Pursuant to a ca?
of the eastern pig-iron association, a large
number of prominent manufadturere in all
branches of trade from various parts of the
country met at the Astor house for the pur
pose of effecting a general organization, with
a view to protection and opposition to free
trade. Among those present wore a largo
number of bankers, merchants, manufactur
ers, lawyers and practical mechanic's.
H nry H. Eckert, who was called, to the
chair, opened the meeting by saying: “Our
intention is to form a new association, includ
ing merchants, manufacturers and laborers
ju all the leading branches of business in the
United States. The labor of the organisation
will be to secure adequate tariff protection
for American industries. We propose that
both home capital and home labor shall tie
fairly protected from foreign competition,
and for this purpose invite men in aii parte of
the country to cooperate with us for the
mutual benefit of all concerned.
Mr. Rudlongand several others made re
marks, the gist of win h was that the org.. .li
gation should be based on a broad founda
tion. h aving to the various existing trad* l as
eoc.ations all questions of detail. Member
ship should be comprehensive, and not oon
fliied to any interest, party, class or geo
graphical limit, and i s motto should be: “The
home market to the home producer.” The
aim of the association should be to enlighten
the pul de mind by presenting and enfor ng
io w. ./ .air and honorable way the gen J
argument in favor of protection. The idea
is to organize tariff clubs in all large cities in
the United states, and then send delegates to
a general
Cobden Club, of London, during Garfield's
administration, troffer the guise of-American
Free Trade Leagues, started out with the cir
culation of a large amount of free trade doo
unienL antagonistic to American industry.
A committee on permanent organization
was then appointed by the chairman, to
whom was referred the draft of a constitu
tion and by laws of the association. The
committee reported a constitution consisting
of eight clauses. The first provided hat the
name of the organization shall be “The
American Protective Tariff Association.”
The second clause says that “the object of the
association shall be to secure and maintain
protection to American labor and American
Industries.” The third clause provided that
every person favoring this object shall be
eligible to membership.
Mr A. G. Schoff, representing the lal>or in
terests, offered the following resolution:
“That the association is opposed to the im
portaiion of lal>or under contract as injurious
to th interests of American labor.’’ The res
olution was adopted, and it will be forwarded
to Senator Blair, chairman of the senate
committee on education and labor. “■
Cameron and Butler.
New York, Jan. 19.—The re-election of
Don. Cameron to the United States Senate
from Pennsylvania, and the effort of some of
his party to have bis friendship for
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, count
against him, revives the story of the Butler-
Pat term m contest, in which Cameron took the
side of Butler and defeat.nl Patterson's effort
to capture the seat. Many people couldn’t ■
□nd* rotapd Cameron’s position, but the truth
is that old Si men, the father at Don., was at
the bottom of the matter, using his influence
for Butler.
When the contest liecame prominent, old
Simon hurried to Washington and inter
viewed his son in this manner: “Don., I
want you to see that justice is done Senator
Butler. Thirty years ago, his uncle, Judge
Butler, then a Unite! States Senator from
South Carolina, was one of the most influen
tial men in his party and was chairman of
the committee on contested seats. My right
to a neat was contested, and, though the sen- i
ate was strongly democratic Judge Butler
«to <I up against his party associates and se
cur: d me a just decision, and I got the seat.
That was thirty years ago, but I don’t want
a Cameron to permit an injustice to be done
to Senator Butler’s nephew, seat is
now- contested. If Butler is not fairly elected
a senator, of course I ask nothing for him;
but If he is entitled to the place do not let
any party feeling keep you from helping give
it to him.”
Don. voted and worked for Butler, and
though the senate was repubU-’an he was
giveti the seat and the second generation of
senators are as warm friends as was the
father and uncle. When Cameron’s health
was very bad Butler paired with him and as
serted his determination to do so and continue
the pair as long as Cameron desired, even
though the senate was a tie, and Butler by
taking ad vantage of his friend’s illness could
have thrown the senate into the hands of his
own party.
Thisrstory was told in Harrisburg, but the
partisans who fried to use it to the prejudice
< f Don. Cameron signally failed.
Mr. Evarts* Valuable Advice.

advice to Fisk & Gould, and who was tried

MENKEN’S USEFUL DUMMY.
Particulars of the Murderer’s Escape From
the Bingluiinpton Jail.
Binqhampton. N Y., Jan 19 —There ii
much interest manifested here over the
escape from jail of murderer Menken. Sheriff
Brown, who came in office January 1, had
gone to Wellsboro. Pa., to see George Travis
executed, leaving the pr boners in charge of
two inexperienced otti rs, Fre i and Jacob
Ockerinan. Menken had the run of the south
corridor of the jail, except at night, then he
was locked in a cell. All the other prisoners
had v he run of the corridor. Fred Ockerinan
went on duty Thursday evening at 8 o’clock.
He wis in charge of the prisoner. Ocker
inan is sure he was in the c<'i ridor after
.0 o’clock, s > the manner' of his escape
’ -eems clear. Mrs. Brown, wife of the sher
iff, also confirms the statement that Menken
was ail right after 10. and her little boy, two
or three years old, was taken away from the
door where he was talking to or p aying with
he prisoner near to. ijj not as; r that hour.
\fter that hour Ockorman had some business
tatters to attend to, a?id went, t<» the ofliee

neighborhood of U ho went into the hall,
inuking into the corridor through the grated

that the door of Menkin s cell was closed. Ha

vith a clasp. Open ng then the door which

I Soon after Ockerman had secured
die cell door Harmon Whubeck, of
( henango Forks, came to the cor-
ridor and told him he guessed he would go to
U*d if he, Ockerman, would show him hi?
room. Mr. Whitbwk is a friend of Sheriff
Brown, and has been engaged in business
operations with him. He came to transact
some business and also to stay while the sher
iff went to Wellsboro. Mr, OchtT’naii, leav
ing the door leading from the corridor to the
hall open, as was his custom when i ne prisoner
was lu.'ked in his coil, g-il anight and showed
Mr. \\ hitbeck to a room on the a»».-ond floor
of the house. At the room he sfluipeil and
talked some minutes v\’ith Mr. Whitbeck. Re
turning again t<> the corridor, he sat down in
a chair near the door ami read fromabook or
magazine, as Lad been bis wont while at his
vigils. He thinks it was only a !« w minutes,
but doubtless time slipped faster than he was
aware of. At any rate, when he gave the alarm
Mr. Whitlieck had rotired and was asleep.
\V hen Ockerman first became suspicious that
something was wrong he ha I spoken to Men
ken, (‘ailing him William, and got no answei.
He then took the broom, and putting it
through the little aperture in the door for
handing in and out things to the ell, punched
the Led clothes. He was no: long in finding
lhat there was no flesh and bones beneath it.
but all that th - re was there was a dummy.
Menken had never enter* I bis cell, but haff
concealed himself in on*' f th« other cells,
none of which were close.i or locked, and
when Ockerman left, leaving tho corridor
door open, he slipped out and escafjed
through the outside door. Th re is no clue
to his hiding filace. The sheriff has offered
$l,00(> reward. hk'OuHn ' pur.ti* - .ire scouring

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 21. IKb5.
FROM THE CAPITAL CITY
SENATORS BROWN AND VAN WYCK
HAVE A TILT AT THE RAILROADS.
The House 1 eaniug on Randall to Avoid au
Extra Session—A Social Conflict —The
Papers in the Davis Matter Before
the Senate -Union Paclflc.
Washington, Jan. 19.—The bill authoriz
ing the president to appoint three commission
ers to the international exhibition at Ant
werp and appropriating 525.000 for the ex
penses of such commissioners was amended
by the senate adding authority to appoint
one commissioner to the international exhibi
: tions of patents to be held in London, and to
: defray the expenaaa of preparing a proper ex
hibit of American patents, and as amended
was jiaased.
Consideration of the senate inter-state com
merce bill was then resumed. Mr. Van
VVyck de.ivered a carefully prepared and
very pointed speech on the general question
of the aggressions of corporations. In lowa,
Kansas and Nebraska he said the
jieople were compelled to burn their
corn for fuel, for want of an outlet
at reasonable rates of transportion. The farm
ers of Wisconsin and Minnesota were belling
wheat below the cost of production w hile the
people in the coal mining districts of Penn
sylvania were denial the privilege of provid
ing more coal and were suffering for want of
the corn burned on the prairies, and thous
ands in New York and other states were
making shirts at three cents each ami perish
ing for want of the wheat which in the west
was being sol i nt prices below the cost of
production. He ridiculed the senate bill as a
plan to appoint seven men with salaries and
expenses greater than cabinet ministers, with
no power to correct abuses or .’ight wrongs,
but only to write essays. The ffegan bill as it
passed the house was infinitely bettor. It de
clared offences, affixed penalties and allowed
the citizen to pr<M:eed for a remedy in either
a state or federal court. He asserted i
would be an unfortunate day when a repub
lican senate declined to accept a measure
adopted by a democratic house in the interest
of the people. The senate bill was moral
suasion very much watered.
After further debate Mr. Brown began a
history of railroads, commencing with the
“first railroad that ever ran on the face of the
earth, ’ that opened from Liverpool to Man
chester, England, in 1830, and tracing their
development down to the present day, dwell
ing especially on the vast sums which had
been invested in railroads and lost by the
original investors through the popular clamor
for low rates. He analysed the system of
charges adopted by the railroads, depending
nn i conoinic grounds, the carrying of light
freights on return cars long distances at
’ower rates than were charged for local
freights.
M r Morgan moved ad journment,remarking
that he saw that the senator from Georgia
had still considerable manuscript before him
and seemed fatigued. The motion was agreed
to and the senate adjourned.
The president has transmitted to the senate
Ren Sherman’s historical statement on the
Jefferson Davis matter, which was discussed
with so much earnestness in the early part of
tie week, and which has already been pub
lished in full. It was laid on the table.
Ono of those closes is at hand in which the
house of represehtatives has to fall back on
Mr Randall to see it through. The trouble ■
is about the extra session of the house which
the senate threatens to make necessary, and j
which the democrats are rooit anxious to I
a void, and as Mr. Randall’s action upoii the J
appropriation bills is the casus belli, he has
to shoulder the whole thing. The senate has
found no way to coerce Mr. Randall. It took
issue on the naval bill, w.u twice ignomin -
ously defeated, and will be the third time.
For this the senate bolds Mr. Randall respon
sible, ; id justly. But by lagging and hold
ing back on the appropriation bills until
March 4, the senate can leave those measures
in complete, thus necessitating un extra ses
sion. Naturally, the democrats are exceed
ingly averse to this. There is an unwritten
law that the session of the senate called
toconfirm u new president’s appointments
f,‘i.ill not make war upon the new adminis
tration in its first hours Id times of great
party irritation this rule has been abandoned,
but there is nothing in the present situation
to Lriii • about war at the outset. If, how
ever, tjie house is called together, there is no
u‘h i straint upon it, and it would lie very
wk ward for the democrats to find the Cleve
bij'l administration subjected to a raking
<•,; -.s lire from its enemies before it had time
t» I '-ploy. So, relying more entirely upon
Mr. Rrndall’s lea iership than ever before,
:Im Lou e foltows him in his management of
tlm appropriatiou bills, and depends upon his
resourc eto keep them out of the scrape of
an extra session.
In a letter to the government directors ac
companying the annual report of the Union
Pacific railroad President Adams says the
road is not pushing any legislation but will
submit to whatever rules are laid down as to
tiu- metho.ls of its meeting its obligations.
The social conflict deepens between the
leading republican houses. The Blaines Lave
ma ie open war upon the Frelinghuysens by
issuing invitations for receptions vn Thurs
day evenings. Thursday is the Frelinghuy
djns’ day.
Fatal Boiler Explosion.
St. Joseph. Mo., Jan. .9. —A terrible acci
dent occurred at Laclede, a small station

Texas Shorp Killed by Cold.
Dat-Las, Jan. 29. Thu is the coldest spell
. xpern-need in north Texas for twelve
months past. The ground is covered with
snow, and frozen hard. The low of cattle
and sheep on ranches will certainly lie enor
rnous, as this is the fourth severe spell of
weather within the past thirty days, one fol
lowing close upon another. Many estimate
the loss as high ns twenty per in the
most expose*! locality for stock, and equally as
great fur sheep A report, from Abilene, the
centre of the live stock region of west Texas
says that matters are very gloomy The laid
weather has had a disastrous effect, espec
ially upon sheep, thousands of which have
succumbed to the cold and died on the open
prairies. The Wylie Bros, alone estimate
their loss at $5,000 out of a flock of 50,000.
Henry Ortman, it is estimated, has lost 1,000.
Many other sheepcnen Lave lost propor
tionately. Gruss is scarce. The intense cold
weather was unexpected, and ranchmen
made little preparation for it.
Trouble Brewing in the Hocking Valley.
Columbus, 0., Jan. 19.—Assistant Adjt.
Gen. Dill says trouble in the Hocking vadey
Is evidently brewing, But cannot say where
It will strike first. Miners are securing first- I
class anns from some source, and all indica- '■
tions are that an outbreak is certain soon. :
He believes it may be deferred a short time, I
or until the legislative committee appointed
to investigate and report on the cause of the
trouble in the valley, when troops will be '
ordered to Hocking valley. The mining ;
troublen are regarded as the battle-field be
tween capital and labor of the United States,
and its result will settle matters. Gov.
Hoadly will decide on Dill’s report when
troops shall be sent.

bers who came here as special champions and
exponents of trades unions. They have been
i fought principally by one m n. who has
probably been denonnc<i in every meeting
I of labor advocates held since the in trod uc
| tion of his nuti-strike bill—Col. Wel.ly, of
■ Hocking county. He was brought up al out
• Logan, Hocking county, but drifted away
' into the army and served with distinction in
i the civil war. Tiring of war ho returned to
i Logan and commenced the practice of law
! and became a can liilate for political favors
iat once. For some reason or other he had a
tough time of it among the ambitious demo
crats of his region, and was at last rewarded
with tne nomination for representative in
1883. A desp’rat j fight was made against
him in his own comity, but be got through*
“John Mcßride, the advocate and cham
pion of the mAiiers, is from Stark county,
where for years ho was a miner, working un
der ground and handlingthe pick anti shovel.
He had ambition, read, studied and advanced
himself ho far that ho was chosen president of
the Ohio Miners' Association. Then he was
elected to the legislature as an exponent of
the organized labor idea. He at once took a
stand here as a man of practical vit ws, but
with a wonderful zeal in the cause of labor.
It may be that John is a little ever zealous at
times, but he has learned in the school of
trial and hard work “that labor must be ag
gressive if it expects to cope with money and
monopoly.” He is <»f medium height, broad
shoulders and almost brawny. His complex
ion is sandy, his eyes light, and his nose
slightly turned out of center. His voice and
manner are soft, kindly and persuasive. He
is inclined to smile when you talk with him,
and while he may have considerable temper
when aroused, he is careful to gain soft
words which turn away wrath.
“J. B. Menke, also an active labor advo
cate, is a native of Cincinnati, a carriage
maker .by traile, and has been a promiiuat
trades union man for years. He was on the
democratic ticket for the sixty fifth assem
bly, but wa< beaten. He got there in 18||S3,
and was regarded in the campaign as tbo
candidate <<f the trades element. On tbisne
count he got the highest vote on the legisla
tive ticket, and has been faithful to his con
stituents since he appeared here. His fare,
especially when he wears eyeglasses, looks
like the.i of a lawyer or doctor. There is
considerable sand in his composition and in
j his complexion.
I “Dan. J. Ryan, of Portsmouth, is ono of
the youngest members, but ono of the miist
valiant He is the republican champion of
labor, and ably aids his democratic brethren
aforesaid. Dan. is of Irish parentage, was
born in Cincinnati, worked his way us a poor
boy, studied law, got i ■ practice, and suc
ceeded “Black Dan. - ...• o ariand in the legis
lature. During his campaign ho proved so
I popular that his opponent got h ared and
withdrew. There was an Irish defection in
Dun.’« favor that Blaine rni -,ht he o envied
Dan. is thin, wiry and roso.utei and like all
the other labor representatives has much
‘sand in bis craw.’
“Never in the history of Ohio legislation
has there been ho many members who come
straight from the won-.shop and factory. For
this reason the workingmen of Ohio may
expect some laws which will be for their ben
efit.”

A HUSBAND’S BRUTALITY.
Assaulting His Wife with an Ax and Driv
ing Her t'r«>n> Home.
Cincinnati, Jan. 19 —By a petition just
filed in the common pleas court Mary See
linger, of Glendale, tells a most revolting
story of the brutellity and cruelty of her bus
band Jacob S elinger She says they were
married July J, 1M71; that she has always
been an affect Innate and dutiful wife, and
that they ha\ six children ranging in age
from one to twelve years. She declares that
October IN last he bent mid horribly maimed
her wit h an ax in the pi esenceof the children,
accompanying the a- ault with threats and ter
rible oa. hs, and then amid the pitiful cries of
the children, drove her bleeding from her
home, a »d warned her not to return at tha
risk of Lar life This was not the only out
rage. Once he assaulted her with a butcher
knife, by which she was dangerously hurt,
and at another time, about a year ago, he
struck Lor on the face with a deadly weajjon,
lacerating her face fearfully, and breaking
the bones. From these injuries she was ex
pected to die, and was scarred and disfigured
for life. She was also, on various occasions,
kicked, beaten and abused, and, on the whole
so ill treated that she very reasonably be
lieved that, some day her husband would take
her life.
Seelinger owns an acre of ground and a
brick house near the Catholic Church in
Glendale, and recently had a twenty two acre
farm near that town, which he sold to
Charles Hauer. He Las, however, Hauer’s
note for SI,BOO purchase money. Mrs. Heel
' inger claims this property, ne well as their
chattels, were the result of the joint earnings
| of husband and wife, and asks for alimony
and custody of the children.
The husband was, by order of court, re
strained from disposing of the property or
sending the children to the infirmary, as hs
had threatened to do. Hauer was also re
strained from paying Bellinger the purchase
money for the land.

New York. The weather was thick and a

could be done to prevent a collision, both
vessels camo together with a crash almost
head on. The prow of the Santa Clara tore
through the bow and side of the Admiral
Moorson, nearly cutting her in two, and the
vessel sank almost immediately.
The Santa Clara hovb to and nt once low
ered her Isjateand siicceeded in picking up
twelve of the crew and two passengers. The
j remainder of the crew, twelve in all, and
: four passengers were drowned. After search-
I ing some hours in the hope of picking up more
‘ survivors, the Santa (’Jara made for Holy

her trip to New York.
