Williams, of this city, who was in the mill at the time, was very severely scalded. It is supposed the water was allowed to get too low in the boiler, and when a fresh supply was turned on it caused the explosion.

Pleuro-Pneuraoiiia Near Chicago. Chicago, Sept 19.—There are grave fears that the cattle on the Harvey farm, at Ridgeland, near here, have spread the pleuro-pneu-monia contagion. When the disease was discovered there, the other day, measures were at once taken to confine the disease, and yesterday the usual notice of quarantine was served on Mr. Harvey. There are 118 head of cattle on the farm, mostly belonging to milk men, who merely pasture there, and as there is not much pasture there the animals have wandered all over that section of country. Two cows and a calf have been killed on Mr. Cam's farm, and an examination of the lungs of one of the animals showed unmistakable evidences of pleuropneumonia. By Hanging and Drowning. Peoria.

A large barn belonging to Benjamin Miller, living two miles from Newton, was struck by lightning last Friday and destroyed. Two men who were sleeping in the loft narrowly escaped death. While trying to tie a horse, Joseph Goudy, of Ellsworth, slipped the rope through the augurhole in the manger, using the fore-finger of his left hand to pull the rope through from the opposite side. The horse took fright and jerked back; the rope tightened upon Mr. Goudy’s finger, drawing it with auch force as to cut it off. While men were threshing wheat on the farm of C. R. Powell, near Stirling, a stroke of lightning stunned three horses so that they fell to the ground. Two women in Mr. Powell’s house, a short distance away, were rendered insensible by the same shock, and the honse was set on fire at each of its four corners. The thrashers put out the flames.

Boys are furnished with guns and ammunition, and paid 20 cents a day for shooting the pests. t- • THE INDIANA CAMPAIGN. Senator Harrison Addresses an Audience of Delaware County Republicans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Sept. 18.—Those who doubt the enthusiasm of the Republicans of Delaware county could have been undeceived had they attended the meeting held in Wysor’s Opera-house this afternoon, and addressed by Hon. Benjamin Harrison, of Indianapolis. The house was packed with Republicans who had seen the party march to victory in many campaigns, and who are anxious to do all that lies in their power to contribute to its future success. The meeting was a success in its every feature. The Senator was received with great applause. He devoted considerable time to a review of the financial policy of the Democratic party, following the line of argument pursued in his recent speech at Indianapolis. He also made plain the dishonesty of the Democracy in the matter of civilservice reform, and then took up and discussed the different methods adopted by the Democrats to disfranchise Republicans for the apparent purpose of getting control of the United States Senate. Comparing the vote of the North with that of the South, he said “in tBB4 Indiana cast 494.793 votes and elected thirteen members of the House of Representatives at Washington, and thirteen district electors, for President and Vice-president. South Carolina cast 91,000 votes and elected seven members of Congress aud seven electors. Mississippi cast 120,000 votes and elected seven Congressmen and seven electors. Louisiana cast 190,000 votes and elected six members of Congress and six electors. Alabama cast 153,000 votes nnd elected eight members of Congress and eight electors. What is the aggregate vote of these four Southern States! We find tt to be 474,320 votes —or 20.000 less than the vote in Indiana, and with this vote they elected twenty-eight members of Congress and twentyeight electors—more than twice as many as were chosen in Indiana. For one I don’t begrudge the man who fought under the stars and bars equal influence in the control of this country, but I will never cease to protest against his having greater influence than the man who fought for and saved his country. He further showed, by comparative figures, that the vote of one man in the South was of much greater influence than a vote in Indiana, and that the total vote in these Southern States was little in excess of the number of white voters in the States, according to the census of 1880. It was apparent, therefore, that the colored people did no' vote, and, while the ballot was wrested from them, the politicians took advantage of their enfranchisement to increase their representation in Congress. Continuing to discuss this programme of disfranchisement, he detailed the action of the Democratic party in preventing the admission of the Territories of Dakota and Washington into the sisterhood of State3, and explained that the true animus ot this action was the fear of the Democrats that two or more additional Rermblieans would be seated as members of the United States Senate. The unjusfand infamous disfranchisement of these people was properly, yet in the moat reasonable terms, denounced. Coming down to the State gerrymander, he spoke of it as disfranchising the majority of the people of the State, and said that it was a characteristic of the Hoosier to demand fairness, and urged that this unfair treatment had a tendency to react, and injure the party it was intended to benefit. He appealed with force to tho reason of the Nationalist. Prohibitionist, and fair-minded men of all parties to assist in undoing the wrong. He had faith in the sense of fairness in the people of Indiana, and believed that they would demand that the power of one man should b 6 equai to that of any other. The Senator closed his address with a review of ~P"eaident Cleveland's veto record, aritL urged that it is the duty of the Nation to care for its maimed or disabled soldiers, and the widows and the orphans of the deceased soldiers. Ho warned workingmen to beware of Anarchists and demagogues, and appealed to them to submit their grievances to the reason and judgment of the people. He recognized their right to organize for their protection, and for the advancement of their interests, and held that the remedy for their evils lay in their judicious use of the ballot. A Disputed Candidacy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Sept. 18 —The Republican central committee met to-day to devise, if possible, some method for adjusting a difficulty which has grown up in this couuty among Republicans on account of Mr. Templer and Mr. Mellette each ihsisting that be is the regular candidate for judge. Mr. Templer was removed from the ticket on account of alleged corruption at a primary election last soring, and Mr. Mellette regularly placed upon the ticket in his stead. Much bad feeling was engendered. The committee, in session to-day, adopted a resolution requesting Mellette to resign and withdraw from the race in order that the people may again make selection of a candidate for this office. Whether he will resign is not known, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether any plan can be devised that will harmonize the discordant factions.

SUNDAY AT CHARLESTON. Church Services Indoors and in the Open Air —Progress of the Relief Work. Charleston, S. 0., Sept 19. —This has been a different day from last Sunday, by reason of the suspension of the work of reopening thoroughfares, which a week ago was in fuli blast Communications are now pretty well restored. The telegraph lines are in operation, and the telephone exchange is working nearly everywhere. The worst feature of the day was a heavy rain this morning which injured considerably the contents of exposed dwellings, and made the remaining campers-ont particularly uncomfortable. But and loss were nothing in comparison with what would have been the effect of a downpour ten days ago. The feature of the day, as last Snnday, was open air worship. The Mariners’ Church had services on one of the ships in the harbor. The Presbyterian and Huguenot church services were held on the battery. The congregation of Grace Church worshiped in the Sunday-school building, the Second Presbyterian congregation in the residence of Mr. J. S. Riggs; St John’s Lutheran in its Sunday-schooi room, and other congregations, in their own churches. There was marked devotion everywhere. The close of the week enables the work of the relief committees to be reviewed, and it is certain that every one neediug food and shelter has been provided for. Besides this, most valuable work nas been done by what is designated as the immediate relief committee, which gives small sums of money to clearly established cases of need, outside of food and lodgings, so a3 to provide for clothing, bedding, the removal of furniture and other like requirements. The committee considers, also, applications where means of livelihood have been destroyed by the earthquake. For purposes of urgent need and eariy assistance, this committee is doing admirable work. The mother of Mayor Courtenay, aged 81, died to-day. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

He Is In America on a Tour of Observation —Principles for Which He Strives. Interview in New York Herald. “Now as to your mission to this country?" asked the reporter. “I would not call it a mission,” replied Herr Liebknecht “I came here more to learn than to instruct. It has been my pleasure, and in one respect my duty, to keep informed of what is progressing in this new world. If I have any mission at all here it is to disabuse the mind of the general public as to any *red specter’ hovering around the socialism we preach. I want to tell America and my friends that there is no such organization as an Anarchist party. Tjp*se men have no party. Such a party does not exist (with emphasis). In Europe we regard these anarchists as spie3 organized by the so-called government. In this country—ah! Most; I remember the poor fellow. When he was arrested in Germany I stated publicly and steadily that the best thing they could do with him was to send him to alunatio asylum. They did not do it. but imprisoned him. The poor fellow grew worse and worse while in a German prison. His mind became still more affected. Then he came to this country, and your officials have made the same blunder as they did in Germany. Instead of sending him to a lunatic asylum they have imprisoned him, and he’ll be more blatant when he comes out than when he went in. I know the poor fellow well; he hates me thoroughly, but I have only pity for his erratic brain.” “You have heard of the Chicago Anarchists?” said the reporter. “I have,” replied Mr. Liebkuecht, “and it would be inhuman on ray part to say anything against men who are under sentence of death. And yet I cannot fail to compare them to a number of Germans in the fatherland, who are ever carried away by an idea. Remember that Germans are very poor politicians. While they know there is something wrong going on at the head they keep on broodine, brooding forever. Sometimes a leader or speaker will arise and throw out even a mere catchword, a simple idea, and these fellows—honest at heart, honest to the very core—will endeavor to carry out the idea practically, and will make fools or criminals of themselves. If they were politicians., Buch as the American Republic furnishes in abundance, they would not so readily put their necks into the haher.” “Have you ascertained whether the socialism you represent has any adherents in this country outside of the German element?’* asked the reporter. “That is just what I am most anxious to ascertain. * This will be my study. and I will consult Americans as well as Germans on the subject. Remember, the Socialists of Germany are there indeed a party in the full sense of the word. Whether the socialism of America, socalled, is a party, or even a-branch of our existing party in Germany, it will be my endeavor to ascertain. From all I can learn they have the same platform, the same principles as we.” “What are these?” asked the reporter. “Before I answer that question I desire to state that I do not come to America to assail my native country or its government. My place to do that is in the Reichstag. Further, I do not come here to interfere in American politics. I come here to study, to learn, to observe. Now, the socialism which I proclaim has in view the proper division of the nation’s wealth, or. in other words, the equalization of property. Take your Vanderbilt, with his hundred millions of dollars, or your Jay Gould, with his vast wealth and consequent power, and I say that the government —no. not the government—l don’t want to call it government—the administration of the country should step in and administer such vast possessions. Too much wealth on one side, too much poverty on the other side, ruined the great Republic of Rome. It will rdin this Repuolic of the United States unless some check is put to it and a healthy middle class is encouraged and protected to hold the balance of peace, not of power, between the rich and the truly poor. Even Germany, under its present administration, begins to see the force of these ideas. lam also a member of the Landtag, and Germany’s administration is thinking seriously of taking charge of the coal mines in Saxony, where the tew rich are constantly antagonizing the poor. So much as to property. Now, as to education. It is the duty of the state to give every child not only thorough moral but physical training. The children are the nation’s wards. We improve the welfare of our people by making good citizens of thejn. I know what you want to say about the laborers’ high wages here, but you must, in a matter like this, always take in the pro rata. When your millionaires make their thousands by the hour, as is done here, what is the relative gain of a waee-earner, even if he does earn more than his colleagues in the Oid World? As rises his income here, so rise his expenses. It is this problem that socialism is endeavoring to solve, and in doing so we threaten nothing, we conspire not”

Pittsburg, Sept. 29.—The Sullivan-Hearld fight last night was the principal topic in sporting circles to day. It was the general opinion that Su’.livan had the “Nicetown wonder" whipped before a blow had been struck. No matter how confident Hearld had been before the fight, he lost heart as soon as he faced the chara pion, and was virtually defeated. Hearld intended to wind his man, but Sullivan had made up bis mind to knock him out before the police could interfere, and he nearly succeeded in doing so. Another round would have settled Hearld, beyond a shadow of a doubt. The champion left for the East this morning to complete his arrangements for his trip to the Pacific slope. Hearld will remain in the city until after his battle with Bradburn, of Chicago, at Geneva Park, next Saturday. Accidental Shooting.
