Speaking of the total depravity of k'lm&n nature, have you ever noticed that nothing: makes a doctor so happy As to discover some new disease? > —. Rev. Mb* Talmage advises married people to atfoid first quarrels. This is excellent advice. If married people fenust fight, let them begin at about the fifteenth quarrel. There are not too many holidays, ks there were the circuses and fairs (would not be so well attended as they Are. It is not within the province of ail of us to be rich enough to have hay fever and recuperate at Petoskey, hut the way is clear for the poorest of Our kind to spend a day at the fair or eireus, or in any other such manner as will give relief from daily toils. The fair and tho circus, though both suggestive of chestduts. are necessities. And now comes Powderly following 'the line usually adopted by the socalled labor leaders, and declares that he knew the Central strike could not succeed, but that he continued it for revenge. If Powderly is not misrepresented in this matter, and did continue the strike, when he knew it (would not succeed, thus depriving the (strikers of the Opportunity of recovering their positions. He is a knave of the worst stamp. Whatever else may be said of Mr. Powderly.. his foresight,is,noLas-goad os his hindsight.

As was expected would be the case, the dividing up of Africa among the three or four colonizing nations o Europe has aroused re newel interest in the dark continent, and has led to the formation of African emigration societies in one or two of those countries. England, it is likely, will take the lead in this enterprise. There are four Egglish commercial and colonization companies already at work in Africa. One more outlet has been found for the surplus population and of the States of Central and Western Europe. The present movement in Canada in favor of the annexation of the Can" adian provinces to the United States is not the first movement of the kind there, though it sow appears in quarters where it di<| not formerly exist. As far back as 1837 there was a rebellion against British authority in Cans ada under the leadership of a ScotchCanadian named Mackenzie, and if it had been successful it would undoubts, edly, as Mackenzie himself admitted resulted in annexation. Mackenzie headed the revolt in Toronto, and sevs oral engagements took place there and elsewhere, but his forces were crushed or scattered, Jie himself was outlawed, and some of his fellow leaders were executed. Many of his American sympathizers rallied to his aid near the Canadian border, but their camp was broken up by Gen. Winfield Scott. Ever since that time there have been annexationists in many parts of Canada, and now again they have the support of influential politicians in several of the provinces of the ITew Dominion. The balloon as an implement of war was tested as to its vulnerability in a very interesting manner during the recent manoeuvres of the Russian army. In the Oust-Ijora camp a balloon, held by three cables, and with a dummy for an aeronaut, v-as allowed to float six hundred feet from the ground. At fk distance of about 3,000 metres four field pieces, loaded with shrapnel, opened fire upon theair ship. To the left of this battery, but consids erably closer to the balloon, a post of observation was occupied by a few officers who communicated by telephone with the officer in charge of the battery, to enable him to regulate his fire; while, on the other hand, the cables were held by men in a sheltered position, who were able to alter at will the altitude of the balloon, and thus render the aim of the gunners more difficult. At the tenth shot the range was captured, and then the firing was done by salvos, five of which were discharged before the balloon was hit When struck it began to descend slowly. Then a sixth salvo was fired at it but none of the projectiles struck it. In 411 thirty-four projectiles, without counting the shrapnel, were fired at it and when the ; balloon reached the ground it was found that it had been hit by only five of the larger shots and by twenty-four of the shrapnel, nearly all of the perforations of the latter being in the upper portion. It was estimated that damage done could be repaired in about ball an hour and,the balloon •ant dp again.

The effect of winter frosts upon wheat is shown by the low rate of yield to have been severe.

TOWN BLOWN DOWN.

Frightful Explosion in a Delaware Village jSeyerai startling explosions in quick succession—some counted five, others sev en—at 3:30 a. m., on the 7th. announced to Wilmington, Delaware, a disaster at the ; Dupont powder works on the Brandywine, j A rush was made for telephones, but • nothing could be learned beyond vague | reports of damage. An Associated Press reporter hastened to the scene, and wired that the whole section of the works known as the “Upper Yard,” is a complete wreck, and that at least six lives have been lost. One of the magazines went off first, and the drying mills near by, set off by the concussion, followed in rapid succession. There were at least seven distinct sue cessiveexplosions. Every dwelling in the neighborhood is reported wrecked or unroofed or more or less damaged. Tele phonic inquiries from Westchester state that the explosions were distinctly heard in that section. Rockland is a village on the Brandy wine, fully a mile above tbe scene of the explosion. It comprises a large paper mill owned by the Jessup & Moore Co., and about fifty dwellings iu which chiefly reside the mill employes. Its population is about 200. Evidence of destruction at that distance leads to the belief that the number of killed and wounded is not yet fully ascertained.

The Dupont powder mills extend along the Brandywine, chiefly on the west bank and close to tbe water for about two miles. They are divided iuto the “Upper,” “Hagley” and “Lower” yards. The former ia some three and the latter five miles from Wilmington. At th? upper was the office and business headquarters of the company. The report of damage done at Rockland proves incorrect as to locality, the name of Rockland being erroneously used foi; the buildikgs clustered around what is known as the upper yard. There are some fifty house:, inhabited by the employes of the powder mills, clustered here, and they are all wrecked. The damage to property can not be thoroughly estimated to-mght. The force of the concussion even broke windows in some parts of Wilmington, four oi five miles away. Twelve persons were killed and many injured.

Six members of the household of Albert Wiler, of Lafayette, were dangerously poisonedT by eating green corn over which paris green had previously been sprinkled, while it was growing, to kill insects, John Patch, a carpenter, of Ft, Wayne accidently fell from a scaffold, and m his descent struck a sharp pointed stake, which entered his right leg below the hip and was forced, upward until it penetrated his abdomen seven inches. A watch dog belonging to Isaac T. Brown, of Wirt, suddenly went mad and bit three of his children, besides several head of stock. The children were taken to Milton, Ky., where a mad-stone was applied with hopeful results. Prof. H. B. Jacobs, on the 10th, resigned the position of Superintendent of the Blind Asylum at Indianapolis, and Prof. E. E. Griffith, of Frankfort, was elected to the vacancy. Prof. Jacobs has accepted a similar position in Pennsylvania. Harvey Holley, aged twenty-three, near Montpelier, while out in the woods, committed suicide by blowing out his brains.

Johnny Weiss, of South Bend, aged eleven, climbed atree while nutting, and falling from the branches, he struck thfe ground with such violence that the bones of his left leg were broken in three times below the knee, and pieces of bone were driven through his flesh. ’ While the family of George Hughes, of White River township, Jackson county, were temporarily absent, attending ta farm chores, two masked men entered, and after binding and gagging an invalid daughter, aged sixteen, they plundered the house, securing considerable money "'ssa3*Jewer^r‘.'"“““ The peculiarity of jury work has an illustration in the Mingus murder trial at Lagrange. Eleven of the jurors wanted a life sentence, as the savage killing of his old and defenseless mother-in-law by the defendant was without a single palliating feature, but the twelfth man hung out for acquittal, and finally brought his associates to consent to fifteen years’ imprison - meat. On a partial investigation, it is ascertained that et-City Treasurer James Fitzpatrick, of Terre Haute, is a heavy defaulter. The total, .deficit is $19,000. He paid $4,000. The worst discovery is the fact that Fitzpatrick falsified the reports and cheated Charles A. Robinson, his predecessor, out of $1,300. Robinson, was a Republican, and when he went out Fitzpatrick found a deficit in bis accounts which he alleged amounted to SI,BBO. It develops that the alleged shortage was $1,300 in excess of the actual shortage. Robinson removed to California, and after, ward committed suicide on account of his disgrace. His bondsmen made up the shortage and Fitzpatrick pocketed the surplus. There are now, in round numbers, 52,000 pensioners in Indiana, and the list grows by the addition of scores every day. The amount of money required to make tho quarterly payment at the Indianapoli agency this month was $2,250,000. In sou days, beginning September 4, $1,850,000 was paid out. The Ohio agency is tbe largest in the country and the Indiana agency next largest. The necessity of payings large number of pensioners over the counter on the quarterly pay-days retards the work of the agency. For instance, on September 4, about 2,000 pensioners received their money across the counter in tho office of tue agent. Had there been none of this to do, and instead had the office force been able to do all the work by mail, checks could have been sent to 0,000 pensioners. < The great quantities of sand now being taken away from Hoosier Slide, at Michigan City, at an average of five oar loads a

The excavations on the east-side have revealed some interesting things. An old house, stilt standing, has just been exposed. How long it has been buried e4a not be learned. Workmen found an ax and a maul there on the 9th, and on the 10th a table fork and a stove hook were unearthed. These, things were taken from the one-story house. At the south-east corner, near the popular path of ascent of sight seers, the corner of a smal two-story house can be seen. This house was built new nine or ten years ago, but the sand soon drove the inhabitants out and buried the structure. The tops of trees are beginning to protrude as the sand goes down: From the size of the trunks it that the roots, must be twenty-five feet further down. Ho one living remembers the one-story house.

THE PRESIDENT IN THE WEST.

He made brief speeches at Lawrenceburg, North Vernon, Mitchell, Washington, Sullivan, Terre Haute, Danville and Champaign, 111. He was on his way to Galesburg, 111., to attend the reunion of his regiment and from thence to Kansas City, St. Louis, back to Indianapolis and Washington.

Hisbrief speech was eloquent. Tbe engineer on the train to Galesburg was an old comrade in-arms, and tue President passed a p&rLof the distance in the cab with his old friend. To the President the engineer gracefully yielded the responsibility of pulling the whistle for stations and crossings, aad the fireman considerately turned over the be.lrope to Secretary Tracy. Both gentlemen performed their duties so well apd so vigorously that the citizens of Knox county must have thought that several trains werespeeding through their midst, and that every crossing was obstructed by obstinate herds of live stock. At Galesburg the people had gathered and the welcomo was most cordial. The President reviewed his old war comrades and also a procession of 2,500 school children from the surrounding cities and towns.

The usual large crowd had gathered at ' Atchison. The ceremonies here were similar in all respects to those which took place at other points previously. At Tjpeka, which place the President reached at 10:30 a. m., the crowd was simply immense. The President reviewed a G. A. R. parade, made several speeches and enjoyed himself in such way all day. Senator Ingalls and other men of distinc. tion took part in the ceremonies. A brief stop was made at Lawrence and the President made another brief speech.

RUBE BURROWS SHOT DEAD:

The Noted Outlaw Plays a Shrewd Trick on Bis Guards only to Meet Hls FaM; Rube Burrows, the outlaw and trainrobber, was shot and killed at Linden, AIA, Wednesday morning, by J. Carter; one of hiscaptors. Carter received abut* let in the breast from the outlow’s pistol,, and is dangerously wounded. Couriers from Linden, who have just arrived, give the following particulars of the killing and shooting: Burrows was locked in the the sheriff’s office inside the jail, and was guardedly McDuffee, one of his captors* and a negro. Carter, the other captor of the outlaw, went to the hotel and went to sleep, with the money found on Burrows n his possession. Burrows was handcuffed and his feet tied. A short time before .daylight Wednesday he complained of being hungry, and asked for something to eat, and McDuffee answered that he had nothing to eat. A pair of saddle-bags taken from Burrows was lying in one cor* ner of the room. “I have some crackers in ~<my~ 'saddlebags there, if you will hand them to me,” said the prisoner, and McDuffee handed the saddlebags to Burrowa without opening them.. Burrows put his manacled hands into the bag for a moment and brought out two pistols, with which he covered McDuffee and the negro and ordered them to untie him, which they did* he keeping the negro in front of Burrows then disarmed both men and unlocked the front door and asked where Carter was with his money, and when told he was at the hotel be ordered the negro to show him the way there, remarking that he was going to have the money. He then locked McDuffee, the' white man, in tho jail, and with the negro for a guide went* to Carter’s room, and getting the drop on’ him, demanded his money. Carter sprang to one side, and drawing his pistol,fired aj| Burrows. The outlaw fired at the same instant, but Carter’s sudden movement probably saved his life. He received the outlaw’s bulletin his shoulder. The bullet from Carter’s pistol struck Burrows in the middle of the abdomen, passing through tho body, ind he fell dead. Carter is badly wounded, but will recover.

AN INFATUATED YOUNG WOMAN

A Southern Bells Persists In Becoming the Seventh Wife sf a Dashing Bigamist. A Charlotte, N. C., dispatch of the 11th says: Miss Corinne Neister, a young lady prominent in society circles, is just now figuring in one of the most sensational marriages ever known in this country. Last-June Miss Neister, while on a visit to Atlanta, met Charles G. Lamoyne, a dashing young man about twenty years of age, and soon she became ongaged to him. She returned to Charlotte, and the match was bitterly opposed by her parents, but soon Miss Neister was off for a, visit to Ricns mond, where she again met Lamoyne, and an elopement was arranged. They went to Boston, which Lamoyne claimed was his home, and there they, were married. Soon after this Mrs. C. G. Lamoyne, of Cincinnati, came here, and told Miss Corinne she had married her husband, who had deserted her last April, and she had been hunting for him ever since. She said he had had five other wives. When Mrs. Lamoyne left she said she was going to continue her search until she found her husband and brought him to justice. She found him in Manchester, N. H., and he was promptly arrested and jailed. At the trial Lamoyne was held in SSOO bail and wife No. 7 fined S3O and her marriage annulled. Miss Neister returned to her home here, but kept up a daily correspondence with Lamoyne. Wednesday night she received a telegram from him saying that his wife had withdrawn the prosecution, and that he had secured a divorce from her, and his other wives were silent. He proposed that they meet in Louisville, Ky.,and be again united in marriage. This. Miss Neister agreed to and left for Louisville to meet him.

JUSTICE MILLER STRICKEN.

Samuel Freeman Miller, senior Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was stricken with paralysis, about 2:3d o’clock, Friday afternoon, at Wash* ington, while walking on # the street, and his condition is very critical. Justice Miller was returning from the Capitol and had just alighted from a street car when he first noticed a numbness in his leftside. He was within one hundred yards of hia residence, and, realizing the trouble, endeavored to reach it by quickening hia pace. His left leg refused to perform itsfunction and became more and more use* leas. This numbness finally extended to the entire left side. The Justioe, a man of determination, with a mighty effort, atr empted to drag himself along. He, perhaps, would have succeeded, but at this point he had to cross a street car track paved with cobblestone. Upon these he stumbled, reeled and almost fell. He re - * covered himself, however, and seemingly aware of approaching unconsciousness again put forward an effort to rbaeh hia doorway, now only twenty yards distant. Unconsciousness overcame him, however, at this moment, and upon the rough cobblestone of the carriage way leading to his residence the Justice fell, his whole left side paralyzed. He fell flat upon his face, which was badly cut by the rough atones Hia condition is extremely critical.

THE REGISTRY LAW.

The Supreme Court Declares It Unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has handed down its decision in *the case brought to tost that provision of the new election law (Section 13) requiring tbe registration of voters of a certain class and the presentation of a tax certificate by those of another.
