Tbe Circumstances of Little Dosinto Bradley's Accident. Another accident, showing th* careless nesi of tboia having dynamita in charge, occurred in this city late yesterday after noon. Dennis Bradley, 7 years of ag* and an inmate of Bt. James's R. C. Protectory, found a box containing several cartridges near tbe Delaware avenue station of the 8. and Q. K. R. Boy like, he proceeded to pound one. Instantly the whole box *x ploded with a terrific shook, throwing the boy some feet and terribly lacerating hi* (ace and baads. He was carried into the drug store of Garrett F. Smith, opposite the railroad statlen, and Dr. John Palmer summoned. The little boy bore up bravely under tbs severe pain, not losing consciousness once. He was taken to tbe protectory aed Dr. Ogle called in to assist Dr. John Palmer. Together they dressed tbe boy's wounds bat they despair of saving his eyesight. Tbs little lad endures the suffering bravely and appears at latest reports to be resting quietly. No change is reported in kis con dition since yesterday. No one is able to tell where the children obtained the cartridges and the men on tbe railroad deny that they had any in their possession. The shock was too great and the lad's injuries too severe for powder cartridges. The Water Guardian* At the meeting of the Board of Water Coir mi©Abner* last evening, Ur.

Preparing to Hunt lor them— Tho City of Lone liranrli, Philadelphia, July 25 —The steamer City of Long Branch, which has been secured by the expedition to start in a few days in a search for the supposed treasures of the sunken sloop of war, Braak, is lying at B W. Tilton's shipyard, at Cooper's Point, and it being rapidly made ready for the trip. Diving instruments of the latest pat tern are placed on board under the direc tion of Submarine Engineer Charles F. Pike, one ct the officers of the expedition, and it is expected that a start will bo made not later than Thursday. The vessel is driven by a powerful stern wheel, and Its breadth of beam, 75 feet, makes it well adapted for diving purposes. There will be two divers taken with the expedition. A novelty in air pumps, an in vention of Mr. Pike, consists of a Clayton steam air compressor, a reservoir holding air and waste and a clever arrangement of tabes by which the air 1s purified by pass ing through water before transmlasiou to the divers. It is claimed that by this method men can work SO feet below the surface with as little inconvenience as they can 25 feet below with the ordinary hand pump, which supplies impure air. A band pump and two metal boats are taken along in case it should be necessary to travel from the steamer, Bteam hoisting appa ratus of the latest design, force pumps to wash tbs mad and sand from the top of the wreck, and suction pamps to draw the refuse to the service are also comprised In the outfit. A full eet of buoys and heavy anchors are also on board the vessel. The revenue cutter Hamilton has been ordered to render whatever assistance Is thought necessary. The leaders in the expedition are sanguine of success. They say they ere more thoroughly equipped for tho work Chan in either of the two previous attempts, and claim that at length the point where the vessel sank has been accurately deter mined. Talks on the Tar III President Ammidtown contributes to the tariff talk to-day, and an inter esting talk it is. It particularly re lates to the methods employed by Jacob Scboenhoff, the perambulating free trade statistical drag net of the State Department, "There is, however, one peculiarity of our American manufactures which has grown out of our higher rates of labor, and that is, we are compelled to use those machines and pro lessee which require the least possible labor and work with the greatest speed, though this often involves compen sating disadvantages in other ways. We are, for example, compelled to use better wool and less shoddy, thereby involving higher cost of material, to secure adequate strength of yarn for oar more rapid motions. Each nation adapta it processes to the conditions of its labor, selecting such as yield the highest results. But neither has any material advantage in processes or machines, or in the quality of tho operatives employed. The higher rate ot American wages is not, therefore, offset by any essential ad vantages in other conditions of Ameri can manufacture. "That this position is true and Mr. Schoenhoff's position false is proved by the inability of our manufacturers to compete with their European rivals, under existing conditions of labor, when the raw material is free. This the case with cotton and silk. Both these articles are manufactured into fabrics by complicated mechanical processes and h'gbly skilled labor, the same on both sides of the ocean. We work under no disadvantage here except that of tha high cost of labor. Our operatives in these two branches of textile manufacture are no less in telligent and skillful than those engaged in wool manufactures. Tke character and qualities of the opera tives in all three industries are practi cally identical. "Yet while we manufacture over 1200,000,000 worth of cotton goods, under the best possible conditions, we export less than 115.000,000 worth. On the other hand, we export about $300, 000,000 worth of raw cotton and im port about $30,000,000 worth of manu factured goods in spite of an average duty ot nearly forty per cent. "Our silk business has grown to enormous magni ;ude under the present tariff within the past twenty years. We have every possible advantage as to machinery and skill. No duty is levied on the raw silk. We get it from China and Japan cheaper than it can be landed in Europe, as large quantiles now i.'pass through this country from Asia to Europe. Yet we have not been able to compete with European mar kets, and on the contrary, we import about $30,000,000 worth of manufac tured silks under a duty of fifty per cent. "How absurd, then, in the light of these facts, for Consul Scboenhoff to claim that we need no protection for our labor because of its superior skill and industry, or because of the su perior quality of our machinery. Our national protective policy if maintained and encouraged, will gradually enable us to reach out into the world's markets, and in time give us a large export trade in manufac tured goods. This result will spring from the greater ambition and zeal of men who, under the ehield of protec tion, can look forward to the future with hope of increased comforts for their wives and children, and an honor able social standing for themselves. But the day is not yet come when the working man of America may without danger be exposed to unobstructed competition with the labor of Europe. "Let us take good cate of our own, and by the influence of example and by the force of competition for labor gradually raise the standard of wages wherever this influence and this com petition are felt, until we may at last level down all barriers because the workmen of all competing nations have advanced to the American stand ard of wage«, education and social en vironment." "Give us some staves," the leadsr sighed, "That will make a good campaign caroL'' "Behold them here!" the ooet cried. As be tapped a oauaiuaUi's barrel.

BEDDING. BRODERICK. SMITH. Few trials have excited more interest than the one in which these men have boon di rectly interested, and it is highly prob able, judging from tho latest reported de velopments, that tho public is still to be treated to many startling developments in the matter. BAUBRSISEN. BOWLES. WILSON. KELLY. THE HERO OF NIAGARA. Blondin, the >Iun Who Docs Wonderful Tilings on tho Tight Kopu. The return of Blondin, tho tight rope walker, brings remembrances ot his cols brated trips across Niagara river many years ago. Blondin is a Frenchman, having been born iu Bordeaux. When he first camo to this country ho was a member of tho Marti nettis, an offshoot from tho famous Ravel troupe that delighted so many people of New York with their pantomime during fifteen years, say from 1815 io I860. But Blondin finally made a world wide reputation by walking a tight rope over Niagara, and that, too, with a man on his back. It would seem that more difficulty would be met in finding tho man to bo carried over such a path than iu finding tho carrier Tho latter's facul ties would bo nat u rail y absorbed during tho perilous journey by his work, while those of the former would have plenty -Â of time to survey tho sceno and med itate on tho dan gers. The man who agreed to trust his 1 i f o to Blundin's nervo and skill was Henry Colcord, and is now, or whs a few years ago, an artist in Chicago. Colcord ran away from homo and went to sea, but he seems to have had more taste for brushes and paint than for salt water, for in 1858 he joined tho Martinettis, at Boston, ns a scene painter. The troupe soon after disbanded, nnd Blondin concluded to do his Niagara feat Colcord accompanied him to the falls, and together they were five months iu getting the roj>o stretched ami the guys established. There were 3,000 feet of raa nilla rope throe inches in diameter. They llrat put a small cord across in a boat, and then by means ot a windlass tho big rope was got into position. Tho tight rope was not so very tight after all, for there was a curvature ot fifty feet at tho center. It was 350 feet above water at its lowest point, and tho curvature made a descent of fifty feet to tho center and a rise of fifty foot from tho center to tho other shore. There were 75,000 feet of guy lines, each weighted with a sandbag to drop the line out of the way ot the balauoe pole. Colcord lias described an incident of the passage: "When wo had gone about ten feet on this middle span, somebody on tho Ameri can side pulled the outer guy line. We af terward found out it was done intentionally, and the rope was stopjied in its swing. Blon din stopped, and ids polo went from side to side iu a vain effort to enable him to secure bis balance. At one time it was up and down on the right side, at another up und down on the loft, «nd I recall now with wonder that I was only curious to know whether lie would succeed in getting control of himself or not. 1 didn't fool any fear. Failing of getting bis balance, he started to run across tho horrible span, and wo safely reached tho point where tho guy rope camo out from tho American shore. Then to steady himself Blondin put his foot on the guy rope nnd tried to stop, but the guy line broke,and with a dash of speed he ran swiftly twenty-five feet further to the next point, where the guys met the main rope. Then he recovered his balance, nnd whispered rathsr than said; 'Decendcz vous.' The jier sph alien stood out on his neck and shoulders in groat beads and we balanced ourselves on tho swaying rope. Frcseutly ho said, 'Al lons,' and 1 raised myself to his shoulder* and we went on in safety and without iuol dont toward the shore." m VÀ

General New, the Republican national •zacutive committeeman, «aye that things In Indiana are Looming; that be does not think anything now foreseen can prevent Harrison from carrying Indiana. State pride is fully aroused and from all direc tions evidences of a determination to give their fellow-citizen the recognition of a handsome majority. General News says that enough is now kuown of tbe general tone of sentiment throughout the country to reasonably count upon a brilliant and successful campaign. He Bays the New York Democrat« are badly divided, aad from present indications tbe breech will be widened before the Gubernatorial question is disposed of. Allen G. Thurman's promise to visit New York daring the campaign bos aroused tbe Democracy there to tbe same enthusiasm that tbs Republicans are displaying over the return of James Q. Blaine. The great reception to the Republican leader will now be followed by one, equally imposing, to the Ohio statesman. The Republicans need not expect that their opponents will permit them to have tbs biggest political demonstration of the campaiim. It Ur. Blaine is a popular favorite, Judge Thur man is equally so, and hi, besides, a candi date. It 50,0 SU Republicans turn ont to weleom» Blaine, ic is likely that 50,000 Democrats will tarn out to welcome Thar Evary cheer for the Piusued Knight will be followed by one for the ''Old Roman. Judge Thurman has not, of course, been arranged, bat it can be depended upon that it will be a demonstration in every way equal to that of Mr. Blaine No party can hope to have a monopoly of ail the enthu siasm, and what one side does is likely to be matched by a counter movement on the part of the other.

The division dates from the earliest ages of the church, aud the researches of scholars often conduct them to local churches of tho Second and Third centuries, in which it is impossible to decide whether the simple superintendent or caretaker was more a bishop or an elder. It is not easy to trace the establishment of tho Fan-Angolicon council, ns it has been some twenty years in taking form; it had its origin In a sort of general missionary move ment, was powerfully stimulated by the action of American bishops, and is now rec ognized as the great representative gathering of the church. But it is not a legislative body, like the lato Methodist quadrennial conference or a maker of standards, like tho once famous co«vention of Canterbury; it is merely nn nd/isory body, and though tho views there expressed carry great weight, ns those of eminent Christian scholars naturally would, yet there is no power in the council to alter old decrees, set up doctrines or pre scribe rights.

S. J. FLICKINGER. He ta Managing editor of The Ohio State Journal and a Stirring .lour nullst. R. J. Plickinger, managing editor of The Ohio State Journal, is in many particulars one of the foremost men in his profession. Ho was born in Millville, Butler county, O., Feb. 14, 1848. After attending tho public schools at Dayton bo spent three years in Hamilton ns clerk in a book store. He after ward entered Ottcrbein university nt West erville, O., from which institute lie graduated in 1872. After three years spent in teaching bo devoted a year to post graduate studies nt Cornell university. Ho comes from one of tho oldest and best known families in

the Miami valley, his father being Bishop 1). K. Flick iuger, of tho United Brethren church, who was nn itiner ant minister during the boyhood of his ''WJN brilliant son. The bishop has devoted jly-three years of uis life to mis I ■i m W tin A J. yLIl'KINOEH. sionary work, os foreign worker, secretary of the Missionary society of his church, and latterly bishop. Most of this time has liera *[iont away from his family, but all his chil dren have been given the advantage of a college education. ''Ham" began his news papor career as news editor on The Dayton Journal In 187(1. Ho went to Columbus early hi 1878, and took a position os reporter on The State Journal, and since that time, with tho exception of about three years as corre spondent for Cincinnati papers, he has been connected with The State Journal, serving in all Its editorial deportments, and succeed ing Gen. U. R. Cowon os managing editor in 188-1. Ho is a graceful, logical writer, a broad, liberal thinker, and a man of phenom enal activities in tho collection of news. it It Is proliablo that In the latter field be has tew equals in the profession. Upon assuming editorial charge of The State Journal, ho im mediately set about to perfect tho nows ser vice, developing the plans and purposes of the management, which was to make "a dis tinctive Ohio pajter,'' in addition to its general news service. Located nt the capital and at the geographical center of the state, with fourteen lines of railroad diverging in every direction, with the prestige of being estab lished in 1811, and always tho central organ of tho Republican party, tho field of Tho State Journal was most opportune tor the activity of Mr. Fliekingcr's peculiar genius. Results being always the best proof of theories, it will bo sufficient to say that since 1884 the paper has been twice enlarged, tho last time to a standard size quarto, and has increased steadily in its influence and circula tion at home and abroad. It is safe to say that no man in the state knows Ohio politics and politicians on both sides mors intimately than Mr. Flickering. He is tho very personi fication of the "hale fellow well met," and will go to almost any length of personal In convenience to servo his friends. Naturally the latter are very numerous, without regard party affiliations, thoilgh ho himself is ardent Republican. Under Ills directioNthe editorial utterances of The State Journal have always been fair and inclined to conserva tism, though never compromising its rigid Republicanism; tho idea being that no per sonal partisanship should mar Us usefulness os the organ of the whole party. In personal appearance Mr. Flickinger is rather under the "standard" size, has a strong face, and is quick and rapid in his movements. Ho is a bachelor and gives but little attention to cial life, having apparently merged every other ambition in his journalistic Impulses. to au llo Wanted Pure Water. Since the heated term is on and sunstrokes are a common occurrence, there are many peculiar and decidedly novel calls made upon hotel clerks by tho guests. The other even ing a traveling salesman from Boston walked up to tho counter just before ho retired, and said: "Please send some cracked ice and hot water up to my room." Several guests stand ing near looked at him with amazement and wonderment, thinking, no doubt, that it was only a foolish whim of on eccentric Yankee from tho Hub. But, in truth, tho call was evidence of the Boston man's knowledge of how to prevent sickness during this torrid weather. A common cause of cholera mor bus and like diseases in tho summer is tho ice water that is drunk. This man wanted hot water for the reason that all the germs are destroyed by the heating. Iiustead of putting tlje cracked ice in the water ita placed it around the vessel containing the water, and thus had cold water to drink, without the germs from the ice again making the water Impure.—Hotel Clerk in Globe-Democrat.

It is really amusing to look over the wlumns of the Wilmington newa papers and a few of those of the sur rounding country, and read the pro ductions of various clothing dealers. Some say that they have got too much stock on hand, and must have them converted into cash, stock is so high on our counters that they fairly groan from their weight; and others that their stores are packed from morn till night with bargein seekers and still they cry that their as sortment is too large for this time cf the year and their goodt don't move. Why is it? The question is easily Others say cur answered. In the first place it is poor judgment in that they buy mere goods than they have custom for, and in the second place tho patterns are miserable and they don't poswas the moral spunk and courage to sell their goods at a small living profit. They want exorbitant prices. That's why their slock doesn't Its the contrary with the move.

The Prime Minister of England, of Whom Americans Know hut l.lttle. [Special Correspondence.] London, July 13.—For a primo minister, less is generally known of cord Salisbury thrill, probably, of any of bis predecessors during the half century of tho reign. Now I am not concerned with Lord Salis bury, tho politician. He must speak for himself to those who are curious in political portraiture. My purpose is to portray Lord Salisbury, the Englishman, typical ns he is of much more than the mere jiarty politician, as we shall see. Just a hundred years ago the carls of Salisbury got a lift in tho world. They be came marquises for evermore, unless the queen elevated them into dukes, beyond which omnipotence itself could not hitch them higher up the aristocratic tffee. It Is understood that Lord Salisbury has twice declined tho dukedom tendered to him by the queen of late. Fifty-eight years ago, 1830, was born Rob ert Arthur Talbot Gasooino Cecil, tho pres ent Marquis of Salisbury. He was a younger son, and had no prospect of being n peer, his title na "Lord" Robert Cecil being merely a courtesy title. He proved to bo one of tho hardest headed fellows in bis college and uni* versity, a first rate all round scholar and a hard reader and thinker. Ho took to jour nalism quite naturally, ami at oneo his pen won a front place by its biting s harpness and free, slashing style. Then ho entered the house of commons. Of course ho was a big oted Tory in politics; ho curled his Up in grand scorn at the idea of majority rule and fired his biggest gnus against the tho democratic rank and file. g of But ho was always respected by Inn foes, not only for Iho brilliance anil power of his pen, but be ll ways been strictly consistent all along in politics. When ho joined Lord Derby's and Dis raeli's government of 1667, and they gave tho people tho reform bill which they had resisted when Lord Russell and Gladstone had vainly tried to pass, Lord Robert Cecil not onlv left his friends in disgust, but put it on record in some of tho most famous sarcastic speeches and review articles over produced in our time. Next year, while only 38, ho became Marquis of Salisbury, bis eider brother hav ing died without issue. Now came his op portunity, and this is how ho used it. cause ho, with Lord Carnarvon, li He might have settled down to tho life of a country squire with literary tastes. His home, Hatfield house, is a glorious place; every brick of it has Its historical attrac tion. It is only twenty miles out of London. Th« railway depot opens right on to the beau tiful gates of the park. The bouse is a noble Elizabethan mansion, its red bricks mellowed by tho centuries into an exquisite contrast harmony with the grass and foliage and tho lake and the gravel paths. Just three hun dred years ago Queen Elizabeth paid a visit of compliment to her prime minister, named Lord Robert Cecil, in this house at Hatfield, and last summer Queen Victoria paid a special visit to lier prime minister, Robert Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, in tho seif samo old mansion. And tho event was remarkable on its own account, apart from the historic recollection, because the queen never visits her friends, except for convenience when in their Neighborhood on public business. To visit a few would cause jealousy, aud to visit all is impossible. IV hen ho settled down in this magnificent home Lord .Salisbury was able to uiford tho gratification of several hobbies. First of these was his love of chemical science. He fitted up in that old Elizabethan mansion one of tho most extensive and expensive la boratories, and there the premier patiently plods over bis experiments and investigations for tho sheer love of the thing. If ho were to blow tho house up the loss would bo national in importance, but ho is too old a hand at his work. More striking still in tho way of contrast between tho newest modern discoveries mid tho ancient homo was Lord Salisbury's intro duction ot tho electric light into Hatfield house. This, strange to say, was tho first private English mansion lit with electricity, and yet Lord Salisbury has boon represented as a stupid old aristocrat, impervious to mod ern ideas and averse to all progress. He superintended the installation himself, and made a good many improvements and modi fications. I remember ono of lus engineers being killed by touching tho wires running along the garden wall. Lord Salisbury at once altered tho arrangement and provided for the mau 's family. If good Queen Bess wore to revisit her room in Hatfield house to day, she would fancy it to bo bathed in tho glimpses of tho moon every night, unless her premier's namesake gave her ghost an object lesson in the shocking effects o£ the Edison The profound scholarsVip of Lord Salis bury, ns separate frCru bis mere journalist!/; capacity, is suffiuiently attested by the fAot that ho had been tbe chancellor of Oxford university since 1869, and is a fl. C. ÎL., be sides bearing various other substantial de grees. The greatest seat of learning in tho kingdom docs not lightly cntrtist its highest interests to, nor confer Us higbtst honor upon, a man famous merely for rank or ordinary accomplishments. Tho imy-e politician would not have won that signal distinction. The head of that great uta versity must himself be great in intellectual capacity aud achieve monta, and no on has ever challenged tho fit ucss'uf Lord Srtisburyifor this post of honor. Ono pnirte factor in his election has been bis high cY'vrchmaiiship. Here wo view him in «noth* of his various distinct aspect^ Oxford is the nursery of the church, and when it possessed Mr. CMadstono as its repre tentative in the house of commons it was

proud of lus immense intellectual power, of his fervid high churchmanship, and of his loyalty to tho church. When Gladstone placed himself at tho head of tho Radical* and talked of disestablishing tho Irish church, Oxford withdrew its confidence, and I can never forget tho scene when he offered himself us Radical candidate for Manchester, the first words of his first speech being these —"Hero I am, unmuzzled 1" The frantic cheers of welcome must have lasted ten miu Utes at least. And now let us see the premier at home. 1 Said to be gloomy, austere, contemptuous by outsiders and too proud to associate with his fellows, how docs he behave in private life? Here I simply speak what I know. His de meanor Is that of a proud man, it is that of one who dreads lost those near him should bore him with driveling small talk. In appearance he is the ideal aristocrat, tall, strongly mode, witli a distinguished and thoughtful face that tells of deep study. Though well dressed, you do not sec anything but the striking jiersouality before you. The careworn look rather enhances bis dignity of bearing. I have spoken of his reputed pride, but it is not hard to discern that it is not of the petty sort, but the pride of coescious dis taste for peity people and petty things, and, I beiiero, of pet y pride also. For in his own county, hero ho has long been the chief magistrate anil the respected bead of every social movement, I have seen him take his bat right off in respectful recognition ot a laborer's s&luto.
