The fight was made squarely and fairly on the issue of withdrawing from the Canadian Dominion. Parliament was dissolved for the purpose. The Premier of Nova Scotia appealed to the electors on a policy favoring secession. The result is that of the thirty-eight mem­ bers elected twenty-nine are "seeeders," and only nine are in favor of keeping up the Dominion connection. A majority of the seeeders favor annexation to the United States, and boldly proclaim their views on this point.

General Logan limited himself to a speech of two or three hours. Senator Con­ ger restrained himself entirely.

He charged every ex-Confeder­ ate openly with voting for the previous oc­ casions beea'.ise they wanted to reward a Union General who helped them to win the second battle of Bull Kun. Mr. Plumb's remarks brought Mr. Butler to his feet, and he resented in the most impassionate manner the charge that he and some of his colleagues had any friendly feeling for a General who they believed betrayed the flag he was fighting under, aud he added with a little of the air of the South Caro­ lina code, that if the Senator from Kansas bad made his remarks a little more personal, and In another place, he (Butler) would have resented them in a different fashion.

Cowey, of this Tillage, was murdered in cold blood by William Kahli- hen, alias Big Bed, a gambler and tough. Tho murderer and another fellow of the same stamp, Frank Benuet, were quarreling and creating a disturbance, in front of ihe Masonic block. The Marshal tried to quiet them, but instead Big Bed drew a heavy revolver and fired one shot at Bennett, missing his mark. Mr. Cowey stepped forward, when Big Red fired the second Bhot at him, hitting him squarely in the breast, the ball passing through his heart nnd lodging in the back. He died instantly. Big Red was captured and lodged in jail. Cowey was one of the most popular men in Detroit City, and had been Marshal lor three years. Public feeling against the man continued to grow, and as the news of the murder spread from town to town, and from farm to farm, strangers began to come hereupon every train and by private conveyances, and the Btreets were thronged with people early in the evening. The body of the assassin's victim Was taken to the depot about 8 o'clock to be forwahled to friends in Roch­ ester, Minn., and was escorted to the sta­ tion by the Lakeside Band and fire com­ pany, the entire populace joining in the sad procession. Soon after groups of men Vere seen in every locality talking earnest­ ly, and it was evident that the prospect was good for a necktie party. At 10 o'clock the fire-bell struck Kahlihen's death-knell, and at the first tap of the bell fierce yells were heard in the vicinity, and a rush was made for the Court House, in which the murderer was confined. That the mob was»-weliorganized and determined, there was no doubt. Battering-rams were used upon the outside doors, aud they were brushed away as mere cobwebs. The men, who were masked, entered tho jailer's resi­ dence, occupied by George W. Taylor, deputy sheriff, seized Mr. Taylor and took the keys from his person, and in a few moments had secured the prisoner. A cry for a rope went up, and the cry was not in vain, for in less than a minute a noose was about his neck and he was being hurried down the street as fast as the w ild and furious mob could run. He was taken to a tree, hauled up, and, amid the fiendish yells of the mob, a volley of bul­ lets was fired into his bodv. Every man who took part in the hanging was masked and disguised, thoroughly armed, and pre­ pared to meet any resistance that might be offered. Kalilihen was generally considered a dangerous man. It is reported that he murdered his wife in St. Croix a few years ago, and that he was wanted in Montana upon one or more charges of murder. COLONEL RICHARD M. HOE. @ 5.50 & 4.50 (9 4.25 @ .77 .34 .27 & .27}$ 4.75 4.25 8.50 <4.25 8.25 <3 5.75 & 4.75 & 4.23 <$ 4.7$ @ 5.00 Sketch of the Famous Printing-Press Man­ ufacturer. Colonel Richard M. Hoe, whose death was recently announced, was the senior member of the printing press firm of R. Hoe & Co. The history of the develop-, ment of the printing press is in part Colonel Hoe's personal history. Colonel Hoe was the son of Robert Hoe, an Englishman of mechanical skill and enterprise, who came to this country just as the present century opened. He made his home in New York City, and started a in 1803. This is the iftigMag, step j$5r .63 .40J&< 6.00 .84 establishment which has been continuously maintained by himself and his sons until now and which has been known for more than half a century as R. Hoe & Co. llob' ert Hoe had three sons, Richard March, Robert, Jr., and Peter. The first was born in New York on September 12, 1812. He received a meager common-school educa­ tion, the advantages of which, small as they were, he enjoyed only until he was fifteen years old. Then his father took him into the workshop, just about the time he turned out his first cylinder press. The boy ac­ quired a thorough knowledge of practical mechanics and developed a noticeable tal­ ent for improving little details about a press. He was constantly at work experi­ menting upon patents which he thought would add speed and ease to tho operations of the press. Ten years after he entered his father's shop he invented his double cylinder press, by which nearly twice as many copies of a paper could be worked off in the same time as by his father's inven­ tion. Robert Hoe was only 53 years old when he died, and his three sons, at the head of whom was Richard, succeeded him. This change was made in 1846. In the same year Colonel Hoa perfected his fa­ mous rotary press, which is the basis of all the better presses. It did its work with such rapidity that it was soon known as the "Lightning." As originally manufactured, it made possible the printing of 10,000 copies an hour. Now every press made on the rotaty plan can print from 20,000 to 25,000 copies. The invention made Colonel Hoe famous. It was an even greater stride toward the perfection of the press than that taken by his father in the invention of the cylindrical system. It created a revolution in newspaper printing. But the rotary press is now largely superseded by the greatest of all Col. Hoe's works, the web perfecting press. This machine is a combination of the most delicate and intricate devices. A roll of paper, five miles long, is put through the machine at the rate of 800 feet a minute, passing first through the type cylinder with an impression cylinder to print one side and then through another pair of cylinders to print the other side. As the sheets come out they are passed over a knife which cuts them apart and then they are accumulated on the "flyer" and six are taken down at a time. Then they are run through an ap­ paratus which folds them for the mail or for carriers. These completely printed and folded papers are delivered as quickly as the eye can follow. About twenty entirely new devices were invented by Col. Hoe and Mr. Tucker before they finally per­ fected this press, which is widely used in newspaper offices both in America and in Europe, and lias superseded as a triumph of speed, accuracy, and ingenuity all other machines for printing newspapers. As a business man Colonel Hoe was fully as successful as in inventing. Up to his death he retained the dominating influence in his firm, and was as vigilant, if not as active, as ever in the management of ita business. He was a man of public spirit Of fc jparml* charitable di*poti«ioji. SAHITAET MEMORANDA. NOTHING -will purify and keep a stable so free from odors as the free use of dry earth, and every olie keeping Worses or cattle will find it pays to keep a heap of it at hand to use daily. A few shovelfuls of earth scattered over the floor after cleaning will render the air of the apartments pure and wholesome. ON the outside of the National Mu- aeurn of Hygiene at Washington (which is under the surgeon-general of the navy) a complete system of iron and lead pipes is to be constructed, with fixtures, running from the ground to the roof, with au observing station at each of the three stories, for an exhaustive series of experiments covering all the topics in dispute relating to trapsiphon- age, and the utility of the mechanism of water-closets, traps, water-basins, baths, sinks, etc. COMMENTING upon the Vanderbilt gift of $500,000 to a iftedical college, and of the gifts of an equal amount by his children for the erection of hospital buildings, the Sanitary Engineer takes occasion to renew its suggestion that "perhaps the time is not far distant when some one of our wealthy citizens, who is desirous of advancing knowledge and of perpetuating his name with honor, will build and endow a labora­ tory for biological arid more especially for'sanitary investigations." OMAHA, Neb., is congratulating itself upon the success of its sewer system-- the Waring -- concerning which the mayor, in his annual message, says: "The health of the city depend in a great measure upon its supply of water and its system of sewerage. It is gati- fvihg to know that our city is free from the odious gases and odors that in most other cities are emitted from sewers at every corner of their streets. Accord­ ing to the report of the sewer inspector, there was hut $2,285.09 expended for salaries and in keeping our system in good working condition. This is cer­ tainly a very small sum. There can be no cloubt that the Waring system of sewerage is, for sanitary purposes, the best ever devised. One hundred thou­ sand dollars in bonds has been voted for sewerage purposes, and I would advise that the Waring system be ex­ tended as fast as possible. It is the cheapest system extant." RECENT experiments have determined the existence of veins in connection with the bronchial glands. It is, there­ fore, easy to conjecture how foreign particles may be carried into the gen­ eral circulation and set Up diseases in remote organs. Another reason is thus furnished, if any other were necessary, for insisting on the thorough cleansing and watering of the streets. The dust of city streets abounds in animal life, and the molecular activity of these or­ ganisms varies according to the height at which the dust is colected. Unfor­ tunately, five feet is the height at which they are most active, about on a level with an ordinary foot-passenger's mouth. Thus these moving organisms are al­ ways in waiting to be devoured before our very faces. In this maimer many diseases doubtless propagate them­ selves, and the history of plagues and pestilences in cities seems divested of some of its mysteries. Clean the streets. Clothing on Fire. A girl or woman who meets accident should immediately lie down on the floor, and so any one who goes to her assistance should instantly, if she be still erect, make her lie down, or, if needful, throw her into a horizontal position and keep her in it. Sparks fly upward and flames ascend. Ignition from below mounts with fearful rapid­ ity, and, as a result well known to ex­ perts, the fatality or disfigurement in these lamentable cases is due to the burns inflicted obout the body, neck, face, and head, and not to injuriea of the lower limbs. - Now, the very moment that the per­ son whose clothes are on lire is in a horizontal position on a flat surface, the flames still ascend, but only into the air, and not encircling the victim. Time is thus gained for further action, and in such a crisis in a fight against fire, a few seconds are precious, nay, priceless. Once in the prone position the person afHicted may crawl to a bell- pull or to a door, so as to clutch at the one or open the other to obtain help. The draught from an open door into the room would serve to blow the flames, if any, away from the body; or again, still crawling, the sufferer may be able to secure a rag or table cover, or other articles at hand to smother any remaining flames. I say remaining flames, for as soon as the horizontal position is assumed tliev have no longer much to feed upon, and may either go out, as the phrase is, or may be accidentally or intentionally ex­ tinguished as the person rolls or moves upon the floor. In any case, not only is time gained but the injury inflicted is minimized. In the event of the conditions not being those of self help but of assist­ ance from another, if it be a man who conies to the rescue, having first or instantly thrown the girl or woman down it is easy to take off his coat and so stifle the di­ minished flame with this or some other suitable covering, the flames playing now upward from the lower limbs or lower part of the body of the prostrate fellow-creature. If it be a woman who rushes to give aid this last named con­ dition suggests that the safer mode of rendering it is to approach the sufferer and fling something thence over the lower part of the body, for fear of set­ ting fire to herself. If in these fearful accidents the hori­ zontal position be assumed or enforced there would l>e, in short, comparative immunity and limited injury. If not, what must happen? The firo will mount, the flames (and it is these which do the injury) will envelop the body, inside aud outside the clothes, and will reach the neck and head, and then, in­ deed, they may be smothered by a coat or wrapper or rug, while the victim is frightfully disfigured or is doomed to perish. For many years I have urged these views while lecturing on injuries from burns, and hence I have an occasion to illustrate them practically, though in a comparatively trival accident. Some dressings of a very inflammatory char­ acter caught fire at the bedside of a patient in one of my surgical wards; they were promptly seized by student, who threw them into the middle of the ward and endeavored to stamp out the flaming material. But this, containing parafline and resin, adhered to his boots, and his legs, as he danced about, were getting uncomfortably hot. To his astonishment,1 and to the undoubted surprise of every one in siiglit, I caught him by the collar of his coat and tripped up his leg?. Instantly the flames be­ came harmless and were extinguished by the nurse throwing a jug of water on TARIFF TALK. Protraoted Wrangle in the House Over llH Halfllwg ty Ifensions. MOTTIM* and Bragg Attack Randall pTHIs Course, and the UtmiS'u Strikes Back. them. MatahaU. In the National House of Representatives, on Tuesday, June 29, Mr. Morrison oalled up the proposed change of rule providing that every general pension bill may be amended by the addition of a provision for the Imposition of a tax to meet the expenditure required by the bill. In advocating the proposition, Mr. Morrison argued that its adoption was absolutely neces­ sary unless Congress w&3 prepared to grant pen­ sions and leave the Government without the means to pay them. He referred to the immense sums paid out for pensions since the war and the large amounts necessary for present and future requirements, and said that the gentle­ man from New York (Mr. Hiscook) and other gentlemen on both sides of the House had pre­ dicted that for the next fiscal year thero would be a deficit of 914,000.090. Mr. Reed (Me.) expressed surprise that this rule was proposed to be confined to pensions alone. There was not a practical man in the House who did not ltuow that the proposed rule would be to fasten upon every pension bill some method of taxation which would prove obnox­ ious to men who might want to vote for the measure. He for one was not willing to enter on such an invidious course. Mr. Hiseoek (N. Y.) regarded? the proposed rule as an attempt on the part of Mr. Mor­ rison to avoid the responsibility of the de­ feat of the pension legislation by a di­ rect vote. When ponaion bills were re­ ported, ho nnd his friends would move an amendment levying a tax, and the result would be that all pension legislation would be defeated, and gentlemen who opposed such legislation would avoid the responsibility of voting directly against it. The Democratic platform, which had been framed by Mr. Morri­ son. favored dedica ing the internal revenue re­ ceipts to the payment of pensions to soldiers. A hundred and fifteen million dollars had been received from internal taxes, yet, in the first Congress sinco the adoption of that platform, the same distinguished gentleman who reported the plank in the platform was found saying to the soldiers: "We have not money enough to pay your pensions and to carry out our pledge. We repudiate the obligation that war taxes shall be devoted to this holy purpose." Mr. Bandall (Pa.) said that so far as he knew there was no one on that floor not ready to do entire justice to the soldier. Some might differ as to the method or the extent to which Con­ gress would gofnone would differ on the propo­ sition that if Congress did grant pensions it ought honestly to provide the money to pay them. The probable revenue and the amount of appropriations approached equality, The list already required $80,000,000, and this proposition merely cited that if Congress added to that eighty millions it should at the same time provide a way of pavment. That was the manly, the courageous way to do it. Mr. Hiscoek said that the Democratic party had not redeemed a single pledge it had made, but had stood cowering before the country ad­ mitting that it was powerless to lilt any burden from the people; that it had spent all the money, and that efnpty vaults were the fruit of Democratic victory. [Applause on the Re­ publican side.] He wished to emphasize that a Democratic Congress had been in session for six months ; that it had accomplished nothing, and that in those last davs of the session it stood confessing that it had known nothing about the receipts of the Government, and was incompetent to carry out any of its promises and pledges. ! Applause on Republican side.| Messrs. Laird (Nob.), Catch cor), and Burrows (Mich.), and Henderson (Iowa), opposed the change. Mr. Bragg (Wis.) expressed delight at a refer­ ence made by Mr. Reed to the failure of the House to consent to consider revenue bills, say­ ing ; I am delighted because it shows what sort of contempt the Republicans of this House feel for those who have been recreant to their faith and their pledges. While they are received with open arms and approbation for the act they have done they are thoroughly despised for their political defection. [Loud applause on the Democratic side.'i Continuing, he said that he had seen the gen­ tleman from Iowa (Mr. Henderson) take out the old hobby-horse to be ridden around again and danced about for the benefit of claim agents' newspapers to be circulated among that class of men whose vote the Republicans thought could be bought by a pretense that the Republicans were the soldiers' friends. [Applause on the Democratic side and sneering cries of "Oh! ohl" from the Republicans.] Mr. Bragg (imitating the Republicnns)--Yea, "Oh! oh!" Why was it that when you bad a wo-thirds majority in this House, when the war was fresh, when men were suffering from wounds everywhere, that you placed a limita­ tion 011 pensions, and provided that every claim not presented within five years should only commence to draw pension from the date of ap­ plication? Who did that? Will you answer me? "Oh! 0I1!" it was the Republican party. "Oh! oh!" Who was it that repealed the arrears limitation nnd paid the soldiers whose claims were pending from the date of disability? It was the Democratic jiartv? "Oh I oh!" Continuing, he maintained that there was nothing in the pending proposition looking to a refusal of pensions to soldiers. It did not re­ fuse to grant pensions, but it provided for their Sayment. When gentlemen sprang into the eld and cried out that it was an attack upon the soldier, they were attempting, under the guise of friendship for the soldier element, to protect the bondholder--to protect those men who, during the war, fattened on the blood of men In the Aeld, and as contractors filled their purses. [Laughter and applause on Democratic side.] Mr. Randall--I did not intend to indulge in any further discussion of this subject, and I would not except for the language used by the gentle­ man from Wisconsin. I stand here his peer in every resjiect, with connection as pure as he can pOBsibly have | applause on Republican side, participated in by the Democcats who followed Mr. Randall's lead previously!, and I have courage to maintain them, tfow is this ques­ tion? Some years ago we had the some con­ troversy. and I cast my vote then as I cast it on Thursday--from conviction. I resisted anything that tended to free trade in the United States and the lowering of wages to American labor­ ers. [Applause on the Republican side, j I was condemned in some quarters for that vote. I went with the rest of you [addressing the Dem­ ocratic side | to a national convention, where I was told that I would have no Republicans to help me. What was the result of that con­ vention? Does any man here attempt to say that the measure reported to this House by the Committee on Ways and Means is in harmony with the spirit of that , convention, or the enunciations of those who took the stump in its behalf? No. I am just to-day where I stood then. I am in favor of a revision of the tariff and the lowering of rates of duty, and a repeal in part of internal taxes, upon which the Ways and Me ins Com­ mittee of this House has denied any one. the privilege of a vote. [ Applause. ] I have only to say to the gentlemen from Wisconsin that he has from me as much contempt as I can well send to him [laughter and applause], and I am ready to discuss with him the propriety of my course. Mr. Hewitt declared that the measure report­ ed by the Ways and Means Committee was in accordance with the Chicago platform. Mr. Morrison--Tho gentleman from Pennsyl­ vania claims that no bill is fair and in the spirit of the Chicago platform -that does not present him an opportunity of voting on internal reve­ nue taxes, and again and again he makes his promise as to what he would do; and we are re­ proached by the other side because at Chicago we pledged ourselves against the repeal of in­ ternal taxes and in favor of a revision ot the tariff. Tho gentleman from Pennsylvania had gone out of his way to .say that the proposition presented by the Ways and Means Committee was not within the spirit of the Chicago platform. He wished to call attention to the fact that in nearly every paragraph of that platform the Democracy had pledged itself as a party to the reduction of tariff taxes, and had especially declared in favor of the continuance Of internal revenue taxes. The war taxes remain substan­ tially as they did at the close of the war, and 1 he party promised reduction. Yet the gentleman from Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the prom­ ise of reduction, and his desire to keep faith with the platform, would not vote to oonsiderthe bill »unless it trave him an opportunity to do that Which he had pledged h mself not to do. The gentleman knew that the Chicago platform re­ quired additions to the freo list. Mr. liandall asked if Mr. Morrison believed that President Cleveland could have been elect- ad if tho convention had declared for free raw materia'*. Mr. Morrison replied that Mr. Cleveland would have gotten more votes than he did. He had not carried Ohio, and had not carried Pennsylvania by 80,00 > votes, and would not have carried them if the tariff on wool had been piled a mile high. After further debate Mr. Morrison moved the previous question on the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Reed moved as a substitute to lay the resolution on the table. The yeas and navs were ordered and resulted in the defeat of Mr. Heed's substitute--yeas 126, nays 139 Before a vote could be taken on the original motion, Mr. Reed moved an adjournment, and the Re­ publicans. by dilatory tactics, managed to con­ sume the time up to 5 o'clock, when, under the standing order, the Honso adjourned amid an outburst of applause and derisive laughter from the Republicans.

The President sent to Coa-i&| gress fifteen veto messages, three of them bein* ̂ v: upon private pension bills; the other two were * on bills for public buildings at Sioux City, Iowa,. and Zanesville, Ohio.

In veto-< I ing a pension bill the President suggests tho '• 1 significance of the startling increase in pension v legislation and the consequences involved in its continuance. He says: "I am so tbor- " - oughly tired of disapproving gifts of public / • money to individuals who, in my view, have no right or claim to the same, notwith~ 445 standing apparent Congressional sanction, that; v I interpose with a feeling of relief In a caset> 7" where I find it unnecessary to determine tbefefj4 merits of the application. In speaking of the ̂ promiscuous and ill-advised grants of pensioner ; which have lately been presented to me fosE-*!̂ approval, I have spoken of their 'apparen# Congressional sanction' in recognition of the!. fact that a large proportion of these bills^' have never been submitted to a majority© of either branch of Congress, but aro tbo result of nominal sessions held for the ex-: 4, press purpose of their consideration and at-'- » tended by a small minority of the members off " % the respective houses of the legislative l.rancU-. :• of Government. Thus, in considering these billsK^S I have not felt that I -was aided by the deliber-V ate judgment of tho Congress, and when I havef^ wi deemed it my duty to disapprove many of tho ^ bills presented, I have hardly regardedVi1' my action as a dissent from the conclu­ sions of the people's representatives. have not been insensible to the suggestion' •which should influence every citizen, either ini; .• ^ private station or official place, to exhibit not» Only a just but generous appreciation of ther(»|rv| services of our country's defenders. In review-.' ing the pension legislation presented to mo • *•' many bills have been approved upon the theory . . that every doubt should be resolved in favor of v 4 the proposed beneficiary. I have not, however., v been able to entirely divest myself of the idea, v> that the public money appropriated for pensions; "i is the soldiers' fund, which should be devotedy. to the indemnification of those who, in thei defense of the Union and in the nation s service- t- va * * have worthily deserved, and who, in the 'lay of their independence resulting from such suffer-, " Ing, are entitled to the benefactions of theii* Government. This reflection tends to the be­ stowal of pensions a kind of sacrednesa, which)- . Invites the adoption of such principles andt regulations as will exclude perversion, as well , v as insure a liberal and generous application of - J grateful and benevolent designs. Heedlessness and disregard of the principle which underlie* the granting of pensions is unfair to tha wounded, crippled soldier, who is honored in tho just recognition of his Government. Kuch a mau should never find himself side by side on tho pension roll with those who have been tempted to attribute their natural ills to which humanity is heir to service in the army. Every relaxation of principle in tbe granting of pensions invite* , applications without merit and encourages those who for gain urge honest men to become dishonest. Thus is the demoralizing lesson taught the peoplo that against the publio , treasury the most questionable expedients aro allowbale."

A long and hot debate enJf^% sued. The debate took a wide range, and "J although in its opening stages it presented the|: 1 rare spectacle of tho rival leaders of tha' majority party, Mr. Randall and Mr. Morri­ son, in apparent accord, they soon fell to bela* boring each other in good set terms. Mr. Mor­ rison and General Bragg maintained that the • Bandall faction, in voting against consideration "*' " of the tariff bill, had violated the pledges con- ; tained in the "platform" of 1884.

When electod to Congress,! 4| however, he found that his public duties re^ quired all his time--not being possessed of tbo- transcondent abilities that the Senator from New* 4:' York perhaps possessed.
