Trolly Car Plunges Down Hundred Fool Em bankment-Hundred Passensors on lt. Toe AM A, WASH., July I.-Nearly a hundred people, passengers on a car bound for this city, were plunged down a gulch at Twenty-sixth and C ..treels at 8 a. tn. Those who were standing on the platform dropped off, only to bo bruised and wounded by the heavy body of the coach, while others inside were killed and mahned before they knew what bad happened. Thc car jumped tho track and was smashed to kindling wood in thc bottom of tho elitism, over a hundred feet below. The dead will number nearly three score, for there arc many of tho injured who will never recover and who un expected to die at any moment, and there ar<'at least sixty ot* thc pas sengers of thc car now in tho vari our hospitals and under tho care of their own physicians. Residents of tho ncirby towns Edison, Lakeview, Parkland, Lake Park and other places-ate coming to Tacoma to spend tho Fourth. Their journey was nearly at an end when they met death in a horrible manner. Crushed, maimed and man gled, tho unfortunates were dragged from beneath the wreck of thc car and laid on tho grass. ll. was a spectacle of carnage such tts is scarcely ever observed, even in war, for canvheels and trucks and heavy timbers make more horrible wounds than bullet and shell. Thc agoniz ing cries of thc wounded and tho dying as they lay on tho sides of the gulch and on tho bottom or were held down lintier heavy timbers thal once formed a part of the wrecked car, could be heard for blocks away. Citizens, policemen, li remen, guards men, e.v-voluntcers and women and children aided. Thc sh les of the gulch are steep ; in fact, SO sleep that a goat would hardly venture to descend them, but the eries of Un wounded made men forgot Ibis and they plunged down without regard to their own safety. Popes were quickly procured and the victims of the wreck were drawn carefully lo thc top of tho gulch, livery physi cian in the city was called. The Fanny Paddock and St. Joseph hos pitals wen; soon crowded with in jured. I lacks, express wagons and all sorts of conveyances were pressed into service, but the dead wagon was there, and that was in use, loo. lt It made journey after journey, ami it was always full. Heys, girls, tuen and women were its freight. Tho morgues of tho various undertaking rooms were scarcely large enough to hold all. When thc dead had boori sorted from the living and Ibo last om; had been rescured from I ho wreck, excited men and women and children besieged the morgues search ing for missing friends. Thc heavy rains have so injured crops in tho region of Vicksburg, .Miss., that the conditions arc worse I than for years past. Sections of Georgia, Alabama and Texas have been similarly affected.

Passengers on Ibo front platform who saw tho sharp curve on thc bridge endeavored lo jump, and several of them reacio.I ibo ground in safety. Chairman Richardson'> Address It wa? very proper that Hon. J. I). Richardson, of Tennessee, should be chosen permanent chairman of the Demoeratie National Conven tion. He is the leadi of thc Demo eratie party in the House of Repre sentatives; a man of admitted abil ity and a skilled politician. Having had sueh a long experienco in na tional legislation, having demon? struted so well his capacity as a leader and possessing such full knowledge of thc issues upon which the campaign now opening will be fought, be is admirably qualified to preside over the deliberations of tho great council of tho Democratic party. Mr. Richardson wastes no words either by way of introduction or conclusion. Ile comes directly to business and quits when he has de livered his message. lie declares that whereas tho para mount issue of tho Presidential coo lest of 1896 was 10 to 1, (referring to silver coinage), there is now pre sented another issue of 10 to I, which is still more important. The D?mocratie party, according to Chairman Kiohnrdson, should press sixteen issues in their appeal to the country this year. Ile states oaeb of these issues very brielly ami yet with clearness and force. They aro categorically as follows: I. Imperialism. .J. The Trusts. :!. Tin- Protective Tariff. I. Ilimetalism. f>. Tho .Monroe Doctrine. ti. Tho Nicaragua Canal. 7. Abuse of Civil Service. S. Statehood for Territories. 1). Tho Porto Rican Tariff, lo. Tho Philippines. I I. Pet Hanks. 12. War Department Scandals. 13, Cuban Postoflicc Robberies. I I. Entangling Alliances. 15. War Taxes. IO. Monstrous Extravagance of the Present Administration. Mr. Richardson outlines theso as the sixteen issues which are to be, or should lie pressed by the Demo cracy in the coming campaign. Ile says they constitute sixteen parts of tho proper campaign. The one other needful part, he says, is the assurance to the country that the party moans what it declares, ami will be line to its professions and sullicient guaranty of sincerity can bo given by the nomination of W. .1. lil yan for President. The speech ul* Chairman Richardson was pointed and forceful. Ii presents the issues which will form tho contention between the two grenl parlies and is a very im porlant deliverance. ll will be observed that the ad dress contains no sp?cifie endorse ment of the free coinage of silver af the ratio of IO to 1, not even an allusion to ii, which is a ri narkablc omission in view of the insistance ol Mr. Rryan, the certain nominee oi tho Convention, that ibis policy sha! be clearly and emphatically pro claimed. Chairman Richardson may there fore be taken as an exponent of tin conservative element of tho Conven (?.ilion the silver qUCSt'lOU-it cai hardly be ca d an issue at till lime. --Allanta Journal, July -r>.

A Ninetoon Yoar Old Nop.ro Boy Shools His Father in Soil Dolense. Another homicide in this county, but thin timo tho killing appears to have boon in self defense. Lewis Wattts, colorea, was shot and killed above hero Thursday evening about night. It at appears that Lewis was accustomed to whipping tho household occasionally, wife and children, largo and small, and that evening he made a start on bis wife, having whipped her unmercifully and threatened to kill her, but she got looso and ran off and was mot, as sho wont away from tho house, by ber children who had been fishing and who took her back to tho house. Lewis started for Johnson, his oldest son, with a ra/.or in ono hand and n rope in tho other (ho used the ropo to his wife.) .Johnson backed toward tho door, but the obi man got a good "swipe" or two with his razor, plant ing an ugly gash in the boy's ann. After that bout was over it was tho boy's turn to got in Homo work. Ho had n pistol in his pocket. Ho promptly drew tho pistol and fired the fatal shot, tho hall laking effect in the back just above thc right shoulder and going entirely through tho body in near range of the heart. The father ran out into the yard a few steps and fell on his face where be lay lill yes terday morning when the coroner's jury moved bim, with a ra/.or in one hand and a rope in the other. Dep uty Sheriff Wilson went up and brought the boy down yesterday morning and lodged him in jail. Ile made no attempt whatever to escape, feeling, wc suppose, that his course, sad and awful as it was, was justifia ble in the eyes of tho law.-Lancas ter K.nlerprise.

The successful farmer of thc fu Lure must farm fewer acres and grow more per acre. Rotation of crops and diversified funning and slock raising arc the plans to he adopted for laying thc best foundation for success of tho future fanner, and, as it costs no more to raise a well bred animal than it does a scrub, botter sell off thc inferior stock, and in tin future none but the very besito con sume thc crops raised. Fewer ani mals in number and belter ones tc consume the grain and grass raisctl on fewer acres is tho road to BUCCOSI in these ?lays of small margins am sharp competition. Tho writer hat observed one great mistake made bj many farmers. They undertake t< do too murd), so that they have no lima lo give growing crops propc attention at the right lime. Helter drop off one or two thing in which there is the h?lst profit, an? put more time on other crops tba pay heller. Thc successful l'arme of the future will find that ho can not afford to undertake more thai he can do well. I have had ox pori euee enough to know that in farm ing many things must be done a thc right tune to secure a good am profitable crop.

ADMIRAL KEMPFF. Tho Man Whoso Namo Flguros In tho China ( Dispatchos. Hear Admiral Louis Kemjiff ia pruminenlly before the public now. The State Department and the Navy Department agree that bo ban dis tinguished himself in his handling of affairs. Tho naval forces of the United States in the Chinese difli oultics are in charge of the Hear Admiral. Ho has been advanced from one position lo another because of tho excellence of Ii?H service in Hie navy. Ho was born in Illinois, and was appointed to tho naval academy from that State in 1857. He was with the steam frigate Wabash in 18G1, assisting in tho blockado of the South Atlantic. Ile was in much important naval light ing of the civil war, and was pro moted for bravery in action. For three years, 1877 to 1880, lie Waa in charge of the navy yard at Marc Island. Ho then took charge of thc Adams for three years. Ho was selected by Secretary Long to have charge of the naval station at (Jnam, but he is now doing in China the most important and satisfactory work of his life. NEGROESTND MILLS. Tho Charleston Darkey Docs Not Suit lor Cotton Mill Work. There arc probably 85,000 negroes in Charleston; nevertheless, the cot ton mill in thal city, which is being operated willi negro labor, linds it extremely diilicult to secure tho hundred or so bands that it needs. Of thc colored population, probably one in every three may bc called an idler, while only one of thc other two works steadily the year round. All that thc mill requires is that thc employee shall take an interest in tho work and put in full limo, but it seems thal the Charleston darkey cannot, or will not, comply with those simple and reasonable condi tions. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Boars tho Signature of Moise on Hoyt. In a business letter to thc Green ville Mountaineer Gen. IC. W. Moise, of Sumter, says : I shall volo for Mr. Hoyt for Gov ernor and usc all thc iulluencc 1 can bring lo bear to cause others to do thc saino. My reasons arc : 1st. Mr. Hoyt bas been well known to mi' for .'!8 years. Ile was on thc Executive Committee in 1870 and did bis whole duty. 2d. He was a good sohl ?or and bears marks of bis sacrifices for bis State and country. 3d. He is a man of high moral tone ami of unblemished character, one who will give dignity to thc Gu bernatorial chair. .llb. He is opposed lo the dispen sary, which I dcom thc pregnant cause of thc troubles wc arc having with thc negroes. 5th. It is due to ibo people ot" tho Slate tn elect Col. Hoyt, because they voted for prohibition before and were defrauded out of their right to have thc scheme of prohibi tion tried by tin" substitution ol" thc dispensary law for thc bill which thc pooplo had demanded and which was then on its passage lilli. Because, although prohibition may not prohibit, as, in fuel, I be lieve it will not, yet it will make thc getting ol' liquor by thc negroes much more diilicult. There may bc places whore liquor can bc bought under prohibition, but the best peo ple will sustain thc law until its fail ure is shown and tho prohibitionists will have had their opportunity and will bc satisfied. 7th. HcoatlSO I regard thc dispen sary law as tyrannical and an at tempt to make thc dealing in liquor, in retail quantities, respectable by ngnging tin; Stale in it. HcapcclfuHy, K. W. MOIHK. Sumter, S.
