- 'gr f THE PEOPLE WIN A Democrat Elected to Succeed a Republican in the House. WON A GREAT VICTORY Wipes Out a Republican Plurality or over fourteen Thousand and Carries the District by Nearly Six Thousand to the Great Surprise of His Political Opponents. A dispatch from Brackton, Mass., Bays the national political weathercock turned to the Democrats in Massachusetts on Tuesday, when the old colony section, one of the Republican strongholds of the State. i( placed Eugene N. Foss of Boston, one of the country's leading exponents of reciprocity with Canada, in the Congressional seat of the late William C. levering. Mr. Foss accomplished what was regarded as almost a political miracle, turning a Republican plurality of 1 4,2f>0 into a Democratic victory of 5.640. The vote was: Eugene N. Foss, of Boston (Democrat.) J 4,980. William R. Buchannan, of Brockton (Republican,) 9,340. It was the most overwhelming defeat thai the Republicans have met in Massachusetts since Governor Rates was overthrown by William L. Douglass, six years ago. The result is considered of more than State-wide importance, for Mr. FYiRS Rtiininnil tliu VIIC ,vull.c?UVU UIBirlCl on national quest ions and the people backed him up with a whoop. It was the first contest to he decided by tlhe voters since the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill became operative, and had a peculiar interest on that account. Mr. Fohb. who has figured in several campaigns, first asc a Republican. and later as a Democrat, with moderate protectionist leanings, left the Republican party last year on the issue of. Canadian reciprocity, and became the Democratic candidate for Lieutentna Governor, lie failed by only 8,0000 votes to carry the State at that time. The 'hieih cost of living, the Democrats charged in the campaign to the Payne-Aldrich tariff hill and the failure of the Republican party to properly supervise the trusts. The fourteenth district has been the most consistently Republican district in Massachusetts, having never before elected a Democrat to Congress. The remarkable shift of votes is difflcut to analyze. The Republican leaders admit that their party, in the gist, was divided. Twenty-five1 thousand ballots were cast, which is about four-fifths of the average vote in the three past Congressional elections. Congressman-elect Foss is a promI Inent manufacturer, banker and capitalist of Roston. lie had been twice L defeated for Congress in the eleventh - uwinci. lie is a brother of ConI gressman Foas, of Illinois. Mr. 1 Buchanan is the publisher of the B Brockton Times. M FRIEND OF LEPERS. Wk Father Conrady In Reported to Be Dying. Rev. Father %.anvbert Louis Conrady is dying of leprosy among the leper colony near Canton, China, according to letter roceived. iFather Conrady labored among the lepers in the Wuwailan Islands for eight years before going to China. Before setting out for China he spent two years lecturing in the United Suites raising about $30,000 for his project. He bought an island in the river sixty miles from Canton, transported there 500 lepers and built them shelters. This took $10,000 of the money, and from the remainder he had an income of $1,000 a year. As he was physician, nurse, attendant, office force and executive head for the colony, and as food cost only three cents a day for each person. he was in a fair way to carry his great burden. Itui-sing lVppcr. Tho Calhoun Advance says: "An unusual sight which created considerable inquiry and comment on our streets this week was several loads of dry peppers grown and prepared tor shipment to Baltimore, by Mr. J. E. Wannamaker, who planted several acres last year as an experiment. Mr. Wannamaker says he- is pleased with the experiment, the crop having made him as much money per acre as his cotton crop. He will plant pepper again this season." ?. (live Him a Hand. "See here, you busy farmer," says Capt. Cha8. Petty, who conducts the agricultural department of the Spartanburg Journal, "if you have a neighbor that is down with grip and not able to work, push things at borne and go and give him a day or two of your best work. It will do hJm a world of good and be your eternal gain." ? i A % TOOK PLACE OF PLOW DYNAMITE USED TO BREAK UP PLANTING LAND. t Eight Hundred Charges of the Explosive Buried in the Earth and Thi?n The Spartanburg Journal says J. Henry Caldwell, a farmer living in the Ardella section of that county, four miles from Spartanburg, Tuesday afternoon broke up an acre of land with eight hundred charges of dynamite, the explosive being used for breaking the land for cultivation instead of the plow. Mr. Caldwell claims that blasting land with dynamite is the best method for subsoiling. and that it can be done more cheaply than with a plow and hired help. The n.ethod employed by Mr. Caldwell is unique and unheard of in -the coumy and the result will be watched with interest by many farmers in the state. Dynamite, one of the most powerful explosives known. Is used extensively in blasting rock, mining, sinking battleships, railroad engineering, blowing up stumps n fields, etc., but never has it been tested in breaking laud for cultivation. Sometime ago, Mr. Caldwell, who is of an orintnal turn of inind, decided that land could be broken with dynamite charges and in order to put his idea to a test he buried a stick of dynamite in the earth and touched ofT the fuse. The explosion that followed literally tore up the earth. He argued that if one charge of the explosive would losen up the earth in such a manner that a whole acre field could be easily broken in the same way. Tuesday morning Mr. Caldwell set bis dynamite sticks in an acre field, burying each stick far down in the soil. When the work had been completed he notified his farmer friends and several citizens of the city that he Intended to blow tip an acre field that afternoon. The news pass- i vont/)1? at- - me county and there was a large crowd on hand to witness the novel method of preparing farming land for cultivation. llUNU THEM. Two are Lynched For Part in Jail Delivery. *it Marion, Ark., Hob Austin and Charles Richardson, negroes, wt?ie ' lynched at an early hour Friday morning in the court house square by a mob of 300 citizens with ui-j leg and abetting a jail delivery that occurred there Monday night. ! Richardson was arrested in Memphis and while on the way to the local jail a mob overpowered SI:,1, iff Lewis and secured the prisoner He confessed to complicity in ailing ' the escape of the prisoners and implicated Bob Austin. The latter war immediately apprehended and it J looked as if the trembling prisoners would be hanged on the spot. Cool- | er heads prevailed and the two men were given over to the sheriff. At three o'clcok Friday morning a mob quietly formed and marched to the jail. The negroes were secured ( and hanged to a tree In front of the court house. The mob was orderly and went about its work in a business-like fashion. The l>odies of the victims were cut down at seven o'clock Friday ' morning and were turned over to the negro friends for burial. HAD A CliOSE CALL. i liltilA r.lrl nv oiuries nut Was Not lluit.

It will probably be visible to the nackcd eye by the middle of April, but It will then be in the morning sky and one must look for it in the east about two hours before sunrise. On May I 1 th<e comet will pass directly between the earth and the sun and will be only 13,000,01)0 miles from the earth. This will l>e its closest approach to the earth and after this date the comet will move rapidly away from the earth and sun and will soon be lost to view. On account of its rapid motion it will be seen in the west again in the evening from May 20 until the early part of Juno, when it will fade rapidly as it hastens onward along its outward path. 'For some days l>efore and after May 18, if the prognostications of astromcmers are correct, the comet will he a magnificent object. Its head is already over 11)0,000 miles in diameter and its tail is more than 5,000,000 miles in length and constantly growing. Without doubt the brilliant tail will extend fully onethird the distance from the horizon to the zenith during its close approach to the earth, and the earth may be enveloped in the tail as it sweeps past us on the 18th of May, imt as a comet's tail is exceedingly flimsy, being nothing more than tiny particles of gas or flecks of dust, its visit to us will cause us no inconvenience. On April 4 the comet may be seen in the morning in the east It will rise at about 5 o'clcok. On April 1 6 it will rise at 4 a. m. On April 24 it rises at 3.30 a. m. On May 14 It rises at 3 a. m. After May 20 it will be aeon in the west after sunset. On May 20 it sets at 7.45 p. m. On May 25 it 9> ts at 10.30 p. m. On May 30 it sets at 10 p. m. After the 1st of June the comet will be faint and will soon disappear from sight. Mr. Ballinger thinks the coal will last 7000 years.
