The Itoyaln Earnest.
The Garfield Club, which was organized Mouday night by the employees of the Wabash Iron Works, held a meeting last night aud added fifty-four new names to the membership list. They say they are not going to stop until they number two hundred members. They now have 174 hard workers in the Club, and men who are not backward in doing all they cau for the party to which they are proud to be ong. They are running on an independent plan, and are going to have uniforms by which they can be distinguished from the other clubs. Preparations will be completed by the time Cohkling in his lcircuit reaches this city.
THE VICTIMS OF YESTERDAY. The sudden death of George Haslett and his son Melvin from the effects of carbonic acid grts or choke damp on j'esterday evening, cast a gloom over the whole city. And it should seem so strange that he should sacrifice his son when he knew that the vault contained this deadly gas. The man who dug the vault, had repeatedly talked to him about it being filled with carbonic acid gas or the "damp" as it is fapiilliarly known, and to think he would sacrifice his bo}^ in order to obtain a ten cent rule is something more than We'can underst and.
The scientific^xplanation of this substance from which George Haslett and his son Melvin lost. their lives shows that it is a gas known by the term of carbonic acid gas or choke damp, and occurs in the atmosphere in the ratio of 1 to every 25,00 parts.
It is a clear colorless sourish gas with rather a pleasant smell, and is about 50 per cent, heavier than ordinary air. It is not combustible and does not support combustion. Its effects have been noticed by every one who has had occasion to carry out hot coal cinders in cleaning out a stove or gr&te. In getting the face over these a choking, gas is inhaled which if not controlled immediately would produce death.
It is the same gas that fills our illy-veii tlllated rooms and poisons the atmosphere. When concentrated, as it evidently is, from the decaying organic matter in the vault where these unfortunate persons were found, it isirrespirable and produces spasms of the glottis, or upper part of the throat and windpipe.. If there had been several buckets of water poured into the vault as soon as Melvin was seen fall, he could perhaps have been saved, as the oxygen and hydrogen of which the water is composed would in some degree disturb the carbonic acid gas until he could have been brought out, when respiration could have been brought about by electric batteries,

SUDDEN DEATH.
Geo. Haslett and Son Killed By Carbonic Acid Gas, while Descending into a
Vault.
One of the saddest events chronicled in the annals of our city happened after we had gone to press yesterday evening, :.t the Filbeck property, on North Fifth street.
For the past six weeks Geo. Haslett, the well-known builder and contractor, has been at work on the new stables which are being built by N. Filbeck. He had nearly completed the contract and was engaged in building a shed over a new vault which had been excavated about five feet from an old one, from which probably came the gas which did the terrible work.
A man named Walker has been working with Mr. Haslett, and from him we ascer tained the particulars, which are given below.
Since work has been begun above the vault, Mr. Walker says a that a draft of air seemed to raise from out the vault, sikening him so that work would have to be discontinued about every fifteen minutes. Mr. Haslett was informed, and told the man he could work slow as there was no hurry. An escape pipe was then built and the gaseous draft apparently ceased to effect ihc workmen. About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Wilson dropped a rule into the vault, and Mr. Haslett's son, Melvin, agreed to go down and get it. A rope was brought and a noose made, in which the boy put his foot, and the two men lowered him. When the bottom was reached, the boy stooped over to pick up the rule and immediately fell forward. His father called to him, but no answer came, and Wilson exclaimed: "My God, Haslett, that boy has fainted The father without hesition sprang upon the rope and descended "hand under hand" to the rescue of his "worshipped" son. Reaching the little fellow he shook him and called, "Mellic, Mellie, Mellie for God's sake what is the matter!" but the boy heeded not. The horror stricken father then took him in his arms and prepared to ascend, but what was the surprise and terror of the watchman above to see the father's hold on the boy relax and he himself fall forward on his face. An alarm was immediately given, and soon a crowd had gathered about the place. For a time every one seemed puzzled as to what course to pursue, until one brave "man, whose heroic heart was intent on rescuing the unfortunates, but others present would not listen to such a thing as a third party risking his life by descending into the accumulated gas. Ropes and hooks were provided, and the boy's body was not brought to the surface until after remaining about twenty minutes, and not until ten minutes later did the parties succeed in securing the body of the father. Drs. 8tevenson, Depuy and Link were at hand and went to work with the bodies, but all that medical skill could do failed to resussitate them. Dr. Stevenson informs us that no person could live over three minutes and breathe carbonic acid gas, and that without doubt life was extinct as soon as the bodies fell to the ground. The scene, when the fact was made known to the daughter and sister, defies description. The daughter ran to the scene of the accident, and when she seen the doctors at work with her father, fell in a swoon, and were with the greatest difficulty revived.
TUB INQUEST.
Coroner Ehrenhardt held an inquest last evening and the following facts were brought out:
GKO. A. WALKBR
being duly sworn testified as followsr I was called by Mr. Haslet at abont two o'clock to help him let his son down in a vault to get a rule which he had dropped In the vault. I went, and we put the boy in a loop of a rope and let him down. In about one minute the father called to his son but got no answer. The boy had fallen from the rope. So the father was let down br the same rope and took hold of the boy and picked him up and asked the boy three time# bat got no answer. And at this time the father fell from the rope. 1 got sick at this time and left. When I got back the lioy had been gotten out. We let'a small rope with a hook to it down and caught the foot of the old man aad slippled a lorge rope ovjr one fool and puBed him tip.

CHOLERA ALARM.
Getting It Through Their Wool. WASHINGTON, August 34.—It can be stated on good authority that the census in South Carolina, or at least some parts of it, will be retaken, and if frauds are found, the whole matter will be overhauled. The opinion is growing here that the fraud cry is correct, and that the census returns have been stuffed. Many who at first refused to believe that such was the case, now regretfully acknowl edge that there is strong ground for suspicion. Again of over 40 per cent, in an old and worn out State without immigra tion is more than tlu .y can swallow. The attention of the President has been called to this matter, and while he expresses no opinion about it, he says that if there is fraud it will not be allowed to be consummated, as the law and machinery exists for correction.
Private advices fiom South Carolina Repulicians declare that there are frauds in the census that they' were purposely committed to gain more members of Congress and votes in the Electoral College. Some of them characterize it as worse than tissue ballot stuffing.
If it should turn out upon investigation that these charges are true it will arouse great indignation, ns this form of cheating is the worst and meanest' that could be devised. As the case stands the per cent, of growth in South Carolina is more than twice as great as in Ohio, although Ohio has received large accessions from Europe, Cleveland and vicinity alone getting over 10,000 European emigrants in the past seven years The pressure in behalf of a recount and investigation is becoming very strong, and uuless it is done there will be grave suspicions which will live until the next census.
A gentleman writing from Virginia, where there has been almost a phenojnenal increase, explains the matters as follows^ "The census has been taken and the ignorant and poverty-stricken whites of the South have demonstrated the correctness of the old adage, 'A fool for luck and a poor man for children,' and if we are kept in this state of poverty for ten years mtfi-e, ilnding no happiness except in conjugal affections, the next census wili give Virginia alone a population of 10,000.000, and astonish Mr. Walker still more.''
President's Polltlral View.
WASHINGTON
Eearshimself,all
August 2-1.—In conver
sation the President takes a very hopeful view of the political situation. He thinks that the prospects of the Republicans are better now than they were in August four years ago. In the course of his political duties he meets men from ten or fifteen different States every day, and often the conversation drifts into politics. With such varied means of information at his hands, the President has opportunities to
ost and the result of what he from quarters is that Garfield will be elected^ The President says that there has been a marked improvement in Republican tone in the past year. This has, in a measure, kept pace with the im provement in business and industry. The Republican party was held responsible for the "hard times" in 1876, and the result was the party came very near being defeated, and was defeated in several 8tates that ordinarily go Republican. Now all is changed. Business has brightened up wonderfully since resumption, and resumption is a Republican measure, carried through against the violent opposition of the Democrats. If the Republican party was held responsible for the "hara times" in 1876, it should, and will, have credit for the "good times" of 1880. "It's a poor rule that does hot work both ways.'
Then, again, the President does not believe the Democratic party will get recruits from the Republicans this year. There is is no desire ior a "a change," except among the Democrats. Tney can not give a valid reason why there should be a change, and the President does not believe they will convince many outside of their own party that a change is desirable. Everything is moving along well, and the President expresses himself as very confident that the control of the Government will be again committed by the people to the Republican party for another four years' trial.
Political matters are dull at the National Capital. Save the mailing of "documents' from the headquarters of the re§pective parties here, there is little going on whicn attracts notice. The weather is hot, and visiting statesmen from any quarter are scarce.
