Thirty Persons Killed, or Injured in an Italian Village. A terrible accident, cause 1 by a landslip, occurred at Monte Sasso, Italy, on the liue of the Bologna and Florence Railway. This railway runs through the Appenniues and is one of the most boldly constructed hues in Italy. A large area of land on the mountain side slid on the houses below, completely bury ing them. Some of the people managed to escape, but thirty persons, killed or injured, were taken from beneath the debris. The railway is covered with earth and rock to a great depth, and all traffic is consequently suspended. This line is peculiarly liable to interrup tions from landslides. In 1351 the village of Vigo, one of the stations on the road, was completely destroyed by earth sliding down from Mooute V igese. SEIZED BY B0EBS.

These documents confer a title of nobility on Co lumbus and his son. Declaration of Principle* Adopted by the National Convention. The platform as adopted by the Demo cratic National Convention at Chicago is as follows: Section L—The representatives of tha Democratic farty of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do re affirm their allegiance to the principals of the party as formulated bv Jefferson and exemplified by the long and illustrious line of his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We be lieve the public welfare demands that these principals be applied in the conduct of the Federal Government through the accession to power of the party that advocates them, and we solemnly de clare that the need of a return to these fun damental principles of a free popular gov ernment, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to centralize all power at the Federal capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of the States, that strikes at the very roots of our Government under the Constitution as framed by the fathers of the Republic. Section 2.—v\e warn the people of our common country, jealous for the preserva tion of their free institutions, that the poliev of Federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution practically estab lishing monarchy on the ruins of the Republic. It strikes at the North as well as the South, and injures the colored citizen even more than the white; it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place, armed with Federal power; returning boards appointed and controlled by Federal authority; the outrage of the electoral rights of the people in the several States; the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power and the reviving of race antagonisms now happily abated, of the utmost peril to the safety and happiness of all; a measure deliberately and justly describei by a lead ing Republican Senator as “the most in famous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate.” Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would meau the dominance of a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office holders, and the party first intrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist op pression which is inherent in all self-gov erning communities. Two iyears ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically con demned by the people at the polls; but in contempt of the verdict the Republican party has defiantly declared in its latest authoritative utterance that its success in the coming elections will mean the enact ment of the Force bill and the usurpation of despotic control over elections in all the States. Believing that the preservation of Republican government in the United States is dependent upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the support or ah citiz?ns who desire to see the Constitution maintained in its integrity, with the laws pursuant thereto, which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled prosperity, and we pledge the Democratic party, if it be intrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the Force bill, but also to relentless opposition to the Republican policy of profligate expenditure which in the short space of two years has squandered an enormous surplus and .mptied an over flowing treasury after piling new burdens of taxation upon the already overtaxed labor of the country. Section 3.—We denounce the Republican poncy of protection as a fraud on the labor of the great majority of the American peo ple lor the benefit ot the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Dem- cratic party that the Federal Government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government when hoa- estly and economically administered. Section 4.—Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the coun tries participating is a time-honored doc trine of the Democratic faith, but we de nounce the sham reciprocity which juggles with the people’s desire for enlarged loreign markets and freer exchanges by pre tending to establish closer trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost ex clusively agricultural products witn other countries that are also agricultural, while erecting a Custom House barrier of pronib- itive tariff taxes against the rich countries of the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor commodities which are necessaries and comforts of life among our own people. Sections.—We recognize in the trusts and combinations, whicb are designed to en able capital to secure more than its just share of the joint products of capital and labor, a natural consequence of the prohib itive taxes which prevent the free compe tition which is the life of honest trade, but we believe their worse evils can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid enforce ment of the laws made to prevent and con trol them, together with such further legis lation in restraint of their abuses as ex perience may show to be necessary. Section 0.—The Republican party, while rolessing a policy of reserving the public and for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people’s heritage till now a few railroad and non-resident aliens, in dividual and corporate, possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two sea®. The last Democratic administration re versed the improvident and unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, atiJ reclaimed from corporations and syndicate®, alien and domestic, and re stored to the people nearly one hundre l million acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homestea Is for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy un til every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people. Saction 7.—We denounce the Republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious for its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of of both gold and silver without discriminat ing against either metal or charge for mint age, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and ex changeable value, or be adjusted through in ternational agreement or by such safe guards of legislation as shall insure the maintainance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes, the first and most defenceless victims of unstable mouey and a fluctuating currency. Section S.—We recommend that the pro hibitory ten per cent, tax on State bank is sues be repealed. Section 9.—Public office is a public trust. We reaffirm the declaration of the Demo cratic National C invention of 1S76 for the reform of the civil service and we call for the honest enforcement of all laws regula ting the same. The nomination of a President, as in the recent Repualicah conventions, by dele gations composed largely of his appointees, holding office at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire upou free popular in stitutions and a startling illustration of thi metnods by which a President may grattj his a ubition. We denounce a policy under wh.eh Federal office-holders usurp control ot party conventions m tae States, au l we pledge the Democratic party to the reform of these and ail otuer aouscs waica threaten individua. liberty aud local self-government. Section 10.—i’ho Democratic party is the only party that has ever given tae country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad aud inspiring con- tideucd at home. While avoiding ea tangling alliances it has aimed to cultivat# fnaudiy relations with other Nations and especially with our neighbors on the American continent whose destiny is closely linked with out own, and we view with alarm the tendency to a policy of irration aud bluster, which u liable at any time to confront us with thi alternative of humiliation or war. We favoi the maintenance of a navy strong enough foi all purposes of National defence andtoprop- erly maintain the honor and dignity oi the i country abroad. | Section 11.—This country has always fa been the refuge of the oppressed from every Janu—exiles lor conscience sake—aui in tae spirit oi toe founders of our Governmeiit -ve condemn the oppression practise 1 oy lue Russian Government upon its Lmueraa and Jewish subjects, and we cad npon our National Governmeut, in the interest of justice and hum-nity, by ail just and proper means, to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions m the dominions ot the Cz&r aud to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling lor Home Rule and the great cause of local self-government in Ireland. Section 12.—We heartily approve all le gitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as the dumping ground for the known criminals and nrofessional oau- pers ot Europe, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws against Chinese immigration or the importation of foreign workmen under contract to degrade Ameri can labor and lessen its wages, but we con demn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious ani worthy of foreign lands. Section 13.—This convention hereby re news tne expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preservation, and we favor just and liberal pensions for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and dependents, but we de mand that the work of the Pension Office shall be done industriously, im partially and honestly. We denounce the present administration of that office as in competent, corrupt, digraceful and dis honest. Section 14. — The Federal GoTjrnment should care for and improve the Mississiopi River and other great waterways of the Re- g ublic so as to secure for the interior fates easy and cheap transportation to the tidewater. When the waterway of the Republic is of sufficient importance to de mand the aid of the Government that such aid should be extended on a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improve ment is secured. Section 15.—For purposes of National defence and the promotion of commerce be tween the States we recognize the early con - structioa of the Nicaragua Canal and its protection against foreign control as of great importance to the United States. Section 10.—Recognizing the World’s Columbian Exposition as a National under taking of vast importance, in which the gen eral Government has invited the co-operation of all the Powers of the world, and appre ciating the acceptance by many of such Powers of the invitation for extended and the broadest liberal efforts being made by them to contribute to the grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the opinion that Congress should make such necessary finan cial provision as shall be requisite to the maintenance of the National honor and pub lic faith. Section 17.—Popular education being the only safe basis of popular suffrage, we rec ommend to the several States most liberal appropriations for the public schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government and they have always received the fostering care of the Democratic party, which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Freedom of education being an essential of civil ani religious liberty as well as a necessity for the development of intelligence, must not be interfered with under any pretext wiiatever. We are opposed to State interference with parental rights and rights of conscience in the education of children as an infringement of the funda mental Democratic doctrine that the largest individual liberty consistent with the rights of others insures the highest type of Ameri can citizenship and the best government. Section 18.—We approve the action of the present House ot Representatives in passing bills for the admission into the Union as States of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, ani we favor the early admission of all tne Territories having necessary population and resources to admit them to Statehood, and while they remain Territories we boll that the officials appointed to administer the gov ernment of anv Territory, together with the Districts of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the Territory or Dis trict in which their duties are to be per formed. The Democratic party believes in home rule and the control of their own affairs by the people of the vicinage. Section 19.—We favor legislation by Con gress and State Legislatures to protect the lives and limbs of railway employes and those of other hazardous transportation companies and denounce the inactivity of the Republi can party and particularly the Republican Senate for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and protective to this class of wageworkers. Section 20.—We are in favor of the en actment ny the States of laws for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolish ing contract-convict labor and for prohibit ing the employment in factories of children under fifteen years of age. Section 21.—We are opposed to all sump tuary laws as an interference with the in dividual rights of the citizen. Section 22.—Upon this statement of prin ciples and policies the Democratic party asks the intelligent judgment of the Ameri can people. It asks a change of administra tion and a change of party in order that there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus assuring the main tenance, unimpaired, ot institutions under which the Republic has grown great and powerful. THE PRESIDENT NOTIFIED. He Formally Accepts the Minneapolis Nomination. President Harrison has been formally no tified of his nomination at Minneapolis. The ceremony took placs in the East Room of the Mr bite House, Washington, in the pres ence of a large company of distinguished Republicans. Among those present were Senators Sher man, Hawley, Proctor, Platt, Aldrich, Felton, Casey and Sawyer; Representatives Dalzell, Burrows, O’JJounell and Payne; Justice Har- lan, of the Supreme Court; Assistant Post master-General Whitfield, Frederick Doug lass and Dr. Hamlin, the President’s pastor. '1 here were also many ladies of high social standing present, including a party chaper oned by Mrs. Logan. It was about 1 o’clock when the committee, walking by twos, with Governor McKinley, of Ohio, at the head, filed into the Wnite House grounds. Entering the last room the committee formed into a horseshoe, the points resting against the folding doors opening into the main hall. Governor McKinley took posi tion al»out the centre of tha figure, facing the door through which the President would enter. Presently the President appeared a* the far end of the long hall, accompanied by tne members of his Cabinet. The President wore a dark suit, with the bronze button of the Loyal Legion in the lapel of his Prince Albert coat. He was pale and, as always, composed. As he entered the room he bowed low to the company. His appearance was the signal for loul hand-clapping, in the midst of wnich Governor McKinley advanced and grasped the President’s extende 1 hand. Then, turn ing to the manuscript in his hand, he read his formal notification sp©:-ch. Frequent applause punctuated the ad dress, and the hand-clapping at the close was loud and long continued. The President then adjusted his glassis and in a clear voice, which filled the room, read bis reply and acceptance. Alter the delegation La I taken luncheon Harry H. Smith presented to Presi lent I Harrison the “working gave.” usei bv the ! presiding officer of tne Minneapolis Coriveu- | tion.

The committee which was appoint# 1 by the Republican National Convention to in form Whitelaw Reid of his nomination for Vice-President performed that duty at Mr. Reid’s residence, Westchester Countv, N. Y., where the members of ’ the committee went in a body to do the work which had been entrusted to them. United States Senator Dubois, of Idaho, made a brief speech on behalf of the committee in presenting the nomination to Mr. Reid, and to the Senator’s words the Republican candidate for sVice-President made a short respone. Senator Dubois’s speech was loudly applauded, especially that part of it in which he referred to Mr. Reid’s services to the American farmer in securing the admission of the product of the Ameri can f irm to France. Toe various points in Mr. Reid’s repiy were also received with ap- clause. THE NATIONAL GAME. Chicago is handicapped by its outfield. Pfeffer is again Captain of the Louisville Ciuj». The New York Club has released Bassett, Murphy and Fields. “Buck ” Ewing s arm is no better and the Captain’s catcQing days are over. Duffy, of Chicago, leads the League in stolen bases, with thirty-three to his credit. Connor, of Philadelphia, had scored ten home runs when the season was only half over. It is a remarkable fact that Boston has lost but one game this season to a left- handed pitcher. Crane’s recent pitching success has re instated him in the good graces of the New York “rooters.” Abbey, the crack pitcher of the Univer sity of Vermont team, has accepted terms with Washington. Robinson’s record of seven hits in one game, off the St. Louis pitchers, is the re cord of the season. Milligan has made the longest hit ever seen on the Washington grounds by driving the ball to the centre field fences Clarkson, of Boston, has accomplished the feat of striking out Milligan, Donovan and Richardson, or the Washingtons, in one inning. Richareson’s work at Washington’s second base and short stop this season en title him to be called the leading infielder in the profession. And so Galvin, late of Pittsburg, returns to St. Louis after an absence of seventeen years. With him to help out Gleason the team is expected to do better work in the second series. The work of the Boston players with the bat continues, with two or three exceptions, to be on the down grade. The batting of most of the players has been very weak and disappointing. The New Yorks are mourning because j Tayior, who was dropped, has turned out to be a “phenom” in the Eastern League and is pitching better ball than any twirlei New Yorkers retained. record of the league clubs.

At Ahmedahad, India, I visited the factory where Persian nips are made, writes D J- Alice B. Stockham in the Kindergarten. All the weaving, most marvelous in colors and patterns, is done by boys under ten years of age, over two hundred being employed. A cotton web the size of the rug desired is stretched perpendicular, an older boy lies on the floor behind this web and calls off the colors and number of stitches from a design printed in colors and be is responsible for perfection of copy. The small boys, many not over six years, sit in front of the web, hold a snarl of col ors in their lap. They sit as close to gether as possible, and repeat the call of the pattern boy, then very nimb'y tie in the color with a sort of halter-knot, then cutoff the ends with a knife resembling the blade of a chopping knife put into a thin handle. After going across the web, the thread or knot is pushed with an instrument that has saw-teeth like a carpet stretcher. The deftness and ac curacy of these boys is simply marvelous. They work ten hours a day and receive from $1.00 to $1.50 per month. They seem happy and interested in their work. A bright native overseer, although stam mering somewhat, spoke “well” English. In reply to a question he said the"boys never went to school—did not desire to, and the parents did not wish them to. “What can they do when they get beyond the age for the weaving?” I asked. He simply said, “I do not know.” I suggested that some employ ers arranged for hours to be devoted to education, and predicted that with the same energy and tact that had established this factory, they might yet find it to their interest to give the boys the advan tage of some little education. The only answer was a silence that was more sug gestive of the impossible than a spoken word. At Agru small boys were doing fine work in marble, making exquisite imita tions of the marvellous ornamentations on the Taj and other structures in that wonderful city. I have some specimens showing not only the deftness of the boys, but the perfect manner in which flowers are imitated in marble colored stones being inlaid to represent form and color in perfection. —Boston Transcript. Senses of Owls. The hearing of all species of owls known to me is marvelously keen; so keen, in fact that I know of no way of testing it, since it is so much more acute than that of man. If owls have the sense of smell, I am unable to find satis factory evidence of it. I have tried va rious experiments with them, hoping to prove that they could smell, but the re sults are all negative. They dislike pu trid meat, but they bite it to ascertain its condition. They will not eat toads or frogs which yield an unpleasant odor but they did not reject these species un til they had tested them by tasting. They may be ever so hungry, yet they do not suspect the presence of food if it is carefully covered so that they can not see it. This test I have applied with the utmost care to the great-horned, snowy, and barred owls. The latter are shrewd enough to learn my ways of hid ing their food, and when they suspect its presence they will search in the places where I have previously hidden it, pouncing upon pieces of wrapping-pa per, and poking under feathers with amusing cunning. I tested them with the fumes of camphor, ammonia, and other disagreeable and unusual smells., but they failed to show that they per ceived them unless the fumes were strong enough to affect their breathing or to ir ritate their eyes. Finally, I put a cat in basket and placed the basket between the two owls. They were utterly indif ferent to it until the cat made the basket rock, when both of them fled precipitate ly, and could not be induced to go near the basket again. Although Puffy will put a cat to flight when on his mettle, Fluffy is frightened almost out of his wits by them. A Japanese toy-bird, made of a piece of wood and a few scarlet feathers, was eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not only a lack of power of smell, but the presence of an appreciaton of color. I have fancied that an appreciation of color is also shown by barred owls in their frequent selection of beech trees as nest ing-places, by great-homed owls in their choice of brown-trunked trees, and by Snowdon in an apparent preference for gray backgrounds.—Popular Science Monthly. In England in 1851 about 6000 houses had fifty windows of glass and upwards in each, about 275,000 had ten windows and upwards, and 725,000 had seven windows or less than seven.

The Tartars of old are said to have made a practice of eating their dead, strangling the aged for this purpose when they were thought to have sur vived the period of their usefulness otherwise. It has been affirmed that the ancient Irish and Britons devoured the defunct, esteeming this mode of dis posing more honorable than any other. Up to the present day the same custom is known to be followed by many tribes in Africa, particularly by the Fans, who number millions, but this plan is adopted only with common people, kings and chiefs being buried with mu h cere mony.—Chicago Times.
