f mnion VOL. XVI. No. nr>. POKT JBKVI8, ORANGB COUNTY, N. Y., THURSDA.Y EVENING, JULY 26 , 1888 . P R I C E T H R E E C E N T S THREE ERIE EXCURSIONS TO THIC SEASHORE, TO NEW YORK OK TO NIAGARA FAXES. Tliesc Places are All W itliin tlie Reacli oC tUc Excursionists at a Very Eow Cost—They Occur Friday, S aturday and Sunday. The glorious old Atlantic possesses many a charm for those who would seek rest and comfort, and these essentials to happiness are bestowed with lavish hand on all who visit its shore. The Erie may be classed as a public benefactor, whereas on Friday, July 37th, it offers the oppor tunity to its patrons of visiting Coney Island or Rockaway Beach at a 1 ow rate of fare, including ride by rail and water, so low as to tempt all to avail themselves of the same. On the date mentioned a special train will leave Port Jervis at 6 30 8. m., arriving in New York (West 23d street) by 9.45 o’clock. At this point luxuriantly appointed steamers of the Iron Steamboat Company and the Knick- erboeker Steamboat Company will be in waiting to convey excursionists to either of the places mentioned, and an ocean sail of the most delightful nature imagin able will then be in order. Returning, the visitor wilt leave Rockaway Beach at 4.15 p. m. and Coney Island at 5.45 p. m. and landing again at S3d street, New York, the express for home will leave at 7.25 p. m. The fare for the round trip, allowing a choice as to the place visited, Will be but $1.25. TO NIAGARA FALLS ON SATURDAY. The excursion to Niagara Falls on Sat urday from Port Jervis promises to be one of marked success, and at the marvelously low rate of $3 for the round trip, it is cheaper to go than remain behind. Not only its mexpensiveness,but the opportuni ties it affords for viewing a sight, the peer of which nature has never created, will act as a magnet to depopulate Port Jervis Sunday next. The fast express leaves at 9 06 and arriving at the Palls by 8 a. m., the entire day is given excursion ists for sight seeing and enjoyment Re turning, the express leaves at 5.30 p. m. arriving in Port Jervis early Monday morning. By this trip there will be no loss of business hours and the price of a ticket covers the entire actual and neces sary expenses. The Erie management has ever been in the van in the popular trips, and this last one will be the means of again attesting how high a place they occupy in public favor. Further particu lars may be had of any Erie agent or from advertising matter. SttBTDAT’S NEW YORK EXOUESION. When a person is allowed a choice of all the attractions afforded by the great metropolis or any of its hundreds of summer day resorts and is transpo’^ted to the threshold of the scenes of pleasure and enjoyment from Port Jervis to New York, at the rate of $1 for the round trip, it would seem as though more could not be asked except by those who would fain possess the earth. With a view to the gratification of common desires enter tained by the majority of its patrons, the Erie is again in the van in this popular move and Sunday, July 29 tb, is the date selected for the excursion as outlined above. The fast express will leave Port Jervis at 7 a. m. arriving in the city by 9.30 o’clock, allowing the entire day for congenial recreation and amusement. Re turning, this special train will leave New York, 23d street at 8.25 p. m. and Cham bers street 8.30 p, m., making practicable the arriving home at a reasonable hour that evening. EtNEEY AGAINST REMEY. A Emliovons Case Tvietl Hef«>re .lailge i Cox Tuesday. On Tue.sclay afternoon, the case of the People against Lewis Remey for petit lar ceny in which Dennis Linley was the complainant, was tried. They evidently do not take any stock in the old adage that “ any man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client, ” as each tried hie own cause, and very thoroughly. The past life of the defendant was thoroughly explored, until finally one juror in quired of the Court '* if they had to listen to all the old sores between the parties.” It seems from the facts that Mr. Linley had a sample wire basket, which he was showing when Mr. Remey asked him the price of it, and was told 30 cents, where upon he kept it and told Linley he would give him credit for it, whereupon Mr. Linley had him arrested. It was a small thing and a good deal as witness James Fahay expressed i t : “ I tout it was only a joke among the bo-hoys.\ The jury disagreed, and the case will be tried MBS. KERRY STARVES TO DEATH A Tumor in Her Stomacli Prevents H er Talcing Food or Drink for 43 Days. After existing 42 days without food or liquid nourishment of any kind, Mrs. Sarah Kelly died at her home in Belleville, N. J., on Tuesday night. Bight weeks ago a rapidly developing tumor in the stomach caused her to lose her appetite. Just 42 days ago she stopped eating en tirely. Apparently she lost all sense of taste. Every delicacy was offered her and many tempting dishes were prepared, but she would take nothing. An attempt was made to give her liquid nourishment through a rubber tube, but the liquid was instantly ejected from the stomach. Sev eral days ago she asked for lemonade. A spoonful was given her, but she could not retain it on lier stomach. Physicians who attended her made every effort to save her. life, but without success. She retained her senses until the last, and a tew moments before her death she conversed with members of her family in a low tone. Death was due to a wasting away of the vital forces through starvation. The body was greatly emaci- A SHOWY UNIFORM.

Y., met at a point in Sullivan county a day or two since, accompanied by backers and friends and completed the arrangements for a fistic contest which is to come off within the next ten days. Mallock is backed by Sullivan county sports, and Hopper, it is understood, by Jim Barkley, and the stakes are said to be $500 a side. Jack Sherwood of Sullivan county conducted the negotiations on behalf of Mallock, while Hopper was represented by Thomas J. Sheridan of New York. According to the terms agreed upon, the match is to come off at some place in Sullivan county on or about Aug. 1, Mar quis of Queensberry rules, with two-ounce gloves, catch weights, not to exceed 145 pounds, and to be fought to a finish. Mallock has been in training for a time past at Mon-isania, attended by Billy Dacey, while Hopper has had his head quarters at Woodhaven, L. L, accom panied by George Young. THE RAIRROAD WAS TO BRAME. The Coroner’s Jury in the case of Carrie A. Dean, killed at Cornwall Tuesday eve ning by the Saratoga express, found the West Shore Railroad Company negligent in not having gates and flagmen at the said crossing. They also made the West Shore Company responsible for her death. Miss Dean was a daughter of W. G, Dean and resided at Abingdon. THE DEATH OF MARY R. .lOHNSON. Mary L. Johnson, the daughter of John Johnson residing on Hudson street, died this morning at 10.30 o’clock o f a compli cation of diseases. Her age was 36 years. The date of the funeral has not yet been announced. THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL THE FREE TRADE PARRACY SHOWN TO BE WRONG. Soiiu' Economic Facts—Wages and Riving in England and the United States. Wliat'a Doll.ar Will Buy Here, Wliat (AVowi the Xew York Mail and Express.) This country is a hig one, and there are so many manufacturers here that their competition keeps prices down to the very lowest point consistent with the making of any profit. Many kinds of goods are produced here now at as low a cost, ow ing 10 our improved machinery and the superior effectiveness of our workingmen, as they are in England. But suppose they cost a little more. If the tariff is taken off or lowered to such a point, as it would he in many cases by the Mills bill, that the English manufacturers could un dersell! ours, then our manufacturers would have to shut down and their employes would be thrown out of work. The wages they formerly spent would be lost to the storekeepers of whom they bought their supplies, and the prices of those supplies would necessarily go up. Then when the English manufacturers have secured the market, they would o f course put up their prices, and people here who bought goods would have to pay more for them than they now pay under our protective tariff; so there would be a double loss, and no gain at all. The wages of workingmen are from thirty to sixty per cent, higher in this country, under a protective tariff, than they are in England, under Free Trade. Here is a table showing comparative wages! in various industries ; Per week. Eng-land.

Two Elephants and Two Bufl’aloes D e stroyed Near M onticello. Robbins’ circus met with a serious loss near Monticello yesterday morning. The circus train was taken up to Monticello in three sections, owing to the heavy grades. The third section consisted of four cars. The second car from the engine contained two performing elephants and two water buffaloes, in charge of two trainers who were in the car. As the train was nearing Monticello a spark from the engine or from one of the keeper’s pipes set fire to the bedding in the car. The trainers signalled te the engineer to stop the train. When this was accomplished the car was a mass of flames and it was with some difficulty that the men escaped. The two elephants and two steers were burned to death, and the car was totally destroyed. The elephants were said to be worth $5,000 each, and their loss, with that of the steers and car will probably amount to $15,000. At Susquehanna a few days ago one of the elephants, the one in the parade to-day chained and banded, attacked one o f his keepers and nearly killed him.

His bride, a pretty girl of eighteen, was left weeping and in consolable at her father’s honse. Stackhouse pronounced the arrest an outrage and said that it would be advisa ble to sue Justice Demont, Officer Quin lan and the complainant, Mrs. Charlotte Mrs. Bush sa} s Stackhouse obtained $30 from her under false pretence.

NEARLY A DOUBRE MURDER. Ben Dutton, a farm hand, went to the bouse of John Lamont, three miles east of Dryden, N. Y., Tuesday night and at tempted to kill Mr. Lamont and Miss Roat, a young women employed in the Lamont household. Dutton fired one bullet at Lamont, which took eltect, in the latter’s face, and four at the girl, all of which took effect. Her most serious in jury is a bullet wound in the back of the head. Her recovery is doubtful. After the shooting Dutton escaped to the woods. Wednesday morning his dead body was found with a bullet-hole through the heart. Dutton had been paying attention to the Roat girl, but Lamont considered him unworthy of her, and, at his advice, she rejected his suit, Lamont is a cousin of the President’s private secretary. —Tulip Soap has gained a firm grip upon the public confidence. —Richly decorated dinner sets 128 pieces, $20.40, at Hoagland’s. —The nicest line of cream jerseys at G.

New York, winch has been used for commercial pur poses for some years, collapsed, Wednes day afte rn-.’on. The gallery for 32 feet one side of the building fell, carrying down with it five heavy folding machines in a book bindery and about 50 girls and women were at work in the building at tbe time. The gallery was supported by wooden uprights resting on the floor of the hall. Under this hUng heavy iron pipes in stock. At 4 o’clock the double strain reached its breaking point, and the northeast part of the gallery fell. The four heavy fold ing machines crashed to the floor of the hail. The floor yielded, and the mass crashed through to the ground floor. Six girls who had been working at the ma chines went down in the wreck, all the way to the ground floor. The rest man aged to escape. Two of the six were un injured, though badly frightened. Mary Bagnell of 127 King street, Brooklyn, lay dead, her hands clutching a piece of the sheet she was holding when the crash came. Two other girls had fallen in such a way that the debris formed an arch over their heads. They were unhurt. The sixth, Mrs. Mary Mc Donald, was badly bruised in one leg. She was taken home. The machines which fell were valued at $4,000. The cause of the accident was the over weight on the gallery. NEW YORK TAKES SECOND BRACE. Chicago Drops to Third Flace—Yesterday’s Games.

THE CHAMFION FREE TRADER. Grover Cleveland has done more to ad vance the cause of free trade than any Prime Minister of England has ever done .—London Spectator. I f Mr. Cleveland should be re elected the United States tariff will be modified very materially in the direction of free trade, a result which cannot, of course, fail to be beneficial to the trade of other countries, and especially o f our own. President Cleveland in accepting his nomination by his own party, has ab stained, from motives o f prudence, from repeating his sentiments on the subject of the tariff. But should he be re-elected there can be no doubt that he will find means to give effect to them. A policy that will benefit the trade and manufactures of a foreign country cer tainly is not the one best calculated to in sure prosperity to American labor and capital. The People deserves credit for its outspoken and truthful statement of the issue now before the voters of this country. IT IS FREE TRADE. From the point of view of a protec tionist, who does uot consider any other ideas or interest than those of the protec tionist philosophy, there is no reason for voting the Democratic ticket. It is not a protectionist ticket. It is not a protes- tionist platform. The candidates are not protectionists. They have made no claim to be protectionists—they would scorn to make such a claim—and they have not put forth any effort to obtain protection ist votes as such. Their efforts and their claims have all been in the other direction. N. Y. Stin (JDem.'). —^Thousands of ladies say it is the best they ever used.

Hundreds of Former Cleveland Men De- <tlaring for Hari-ison—Strong Hopes of Carrying the State Over Into the R e publican Column. The greatest political revolution ever witnessed in West V i r ^ i a is now in pro gress. When the President issued his Free-trade message last winter Republi cans said it would make West Virginia a doubtful state. Later, when the Mills bill was introduced, many leading Democrats, who had till then kept a stiff upper lip. began to weaken and admit that the state might, with propriety, he placed in the doubtful column ; but when the St. Louis platform was adopted they gave up hope altogether, and only waited to hear from the Chicago convention to determine their future course, whether they would remain inacUve or openly support the Republican ticket. Particularly was this true of the manufacturers, wool growers and promi nent labonng men, who have been for many years high in the councils of the Democratic party. In Wheeling the most remarkable and significant changes are taking place. William L. Hearn, who has for forty-eight years been a Democratic leader and the largest individual contributor to their cam paign fund in the state, with the probable exception o f Ex-Senator J. N. Camden, has come over and his four sons, promi nent also in manufacturing circles, came over with him. Perhaps the most important change in the state is that of David R. Brooks, the leader of the Democratic party in Wheel ing. I His ” flop ” has created great con sternation in the ranks o f the Unwashed, and a pressure ’svas brought to bOar to in duce him to foibear from making nublic his intention to vote for Harrison and Morton. But he was firm. He is a Pro tectionist, he says, and will vote his senti ments—this he C8U1 not do by voting the Democratic ticktt. Mr. J. A. McCourtney, another leading manufacturer and largely interested in pottery enterprises, has also openly repudiated tbe St. Louis platform. Philip Henry Moore a life-long Democrat, an ex Confederate colonel and editor of the Ohio Valley Manufacturer, is out square for Harrison and Protection. The Wheel ing Daily News~Lette)',\&hor paper and or gan of the Amalgamated Association for Second District, heretofore Independent, is supporting boldly the Republican party, both national and state. Among other leading Democratic Protectionists who have repudiate^ the St. Louis Free-trade platform may? be mentioned Ex-State Treasurer O’Brien and Ex Secretary of ■ State Stalnaker. In Marshall county, where wool grow ing is a leading mdustry, 300 Democrats have signified their intention to vote for Harrison since the passage of the free wool clause by the Democratic House. In Monongahela county twenty farmers in one preemet have united with Republican clubs. In Greenbrier county leading Democrats have done the same. Large defection is reported among Democratic coke men in the mining districts. They say the passage of the Mills bill would ruin their industry. When the manu facturing interests are paralyzed there is no market for their product. They say an endorsement o f the present Democratic policy means free coal and iron in the future. Will Cassell, a lieutenant o f the Young Men’s Democratic Marching Club of Wheeling, has severed his connection with that organization and expressed Lis intention to vote for Harrison, Morton and Protection. Mr. Cassell is one of the most influential young Democrats in this section of the state. Joseph A. Arkle, a leading grocer and one of the best Democratic campaign contributors is another. John Scott, E x - City Councilman,elected on the Democra tic ticket, says he can not endorse the Free trade ideas of the Democracy, and has joined the Republican procession. Ewing Brothers, wholesale dealers in china, queensware and glass, also an nounce their disgust with Free Trade, and say they may hereafter be found among the working Republicans.
