fToTTnTTTAAT I A riilll I lll i DEM AT HOME. OUR MERCHANTS ARE LIBERAL Money Invested Here Helps Business and You. assip has always believed in the doc trine of dealing at home, of buying every thing vou need lust as Close to your own door as possible. This is not selfishness, but wisdom. He that provideth not for those of his own household is worse than a heathen." Providing for one own is sure to bring good results, ana in time enables you to widen the field of your benevolence to those not of your house hold.

We are led to call attention to tms principle at this time because of the generosity and liberality of the business men of all classes in making contributions for the purchase of a site for the new roll ing mill plant. The business men have done well, and as a compensation for their well doing our citizens ought to trade with them and keep their moaey at home. Did you ever think that money invested in western cities that produced six per after the payment of attorney ifees and losses was only worth one sixteenth as much as money invested at home that produced the same rate of interest? In the West you have nothing but the interest with which to buy in your own city; by keeping it at home you nave principal and interest. This is a good fthing to remember, is it not Oossrp is verv much ratified at the air of DrosDeritv that Harrisburg has assumed, and can back up in the past few weeks. There is something in the air that partakes of the nature of a boom, and yet is not a boom.

It is a steady, stable sign of pros perity, visible on all sides, and most encouraging to all classes. There are any number of new buildings being erected, and new manufacturing enterprises are coming in. men wno nave money in vest are investing it nere, ana tnose wno have invested money in the are 'seeking some way to get it back to Harris burg that they may place it wnere win not only benefit them but also the city. Gossip knows of Harrisburgers who, within the past recalled money that they had invested in real estate in tne far west, that they might put it into new enterDrises that are in contemplation here. That is the right spirit.

Don't be selfish, but don be liberal to otner places to the detriment of your, own city ana Tour own loss. Help to do what you can an this era of prosperity, and it will help you.

IS THIS WHAT HE Editor Telegraph: Grover Cleveland, in his late letter to Hon. Edward S. Bragg, among other things "that the Presidency is pre eminently the people's office. He must have imagined that all had forgotten the scenes of 1884, when by his own act he disregarded the verdict of the people, who at the election had cast a majority of votes against him, and also that other of his acts in taking the Presidency as a gift from corrupt Tammany, by the aid of the shot gun mobs in the South. His gush became more apparent when he enlarged by Btating that "The complete supremacy of Democratic principles means increased national prosperity and the increased happiness of our people." Did he allude to or have in mind the closing years of the Van Buren and Buchanan administrations, and the scenes of distress that were experienced by tne people, wnen all our manufactures were broken down American labor unemployed, all our banks suspended, the National debt increased and the National credit destroyed, business of all kinds paralyzed and universal bankruptcy prevailed? Or was it the closing scenes of Buchanan's mal admi istration, when the Government was dismembered, the laws unenforced, and rank rebellion was ripe, and denant to sucn an extent that JJemocracy nad no govern ment to transmit tp its successor, as the Republicans had when he came into office, but to use force to regain the forts and strongholds ot defense, wnicn were then in the possession of Democratic traitors!

This punishment was mnictcd tor chewing tobacco and hiding two bricks in his cell for the purpose of exercise. Chairman James B. Scott and Thomas W.

busan McGinnis was called to show that her son John, who died of con sumption in May, 1890, had been ill treated, one spent three weeks with her son to his death, and the only food given him was bread and milk, except at dinner, when rice was allowed.

Five Tons or Gun Cotton Shakes Up the City. St. Petersburg, April 5. This city was thrown into a state of the most in tense excitement last night by a terrific explosion. So much has been heard here lately of the fiendish work of anarchists that for a time every one believed that they had attempted to destroy some of the public buildings.

The shock of the explosion was tremendous. The whole city was shaken, and houses swayed on their foundations as though from the effects of an earthquake. The building in which the gun cotton had been stored was nowhere to be seen. It had een blown into splinters.

Nine workmen were blown to pieces. Search was made for the remnants of their bodies, and some of their limbs were found 250 yards away. The adjoining factories were greatly damaged, and five workmen were injured. THE MELBOURNE MUXDEKER. He Hears of Ills Villainy and Laugh at sue witnesses.

Melbourne, April 5. The inquest upon the body of Mrs. Deeming, which was found buried beneath the floor of a house at Windsor, and for whose murder Deeming is now in custody, opened today. The room was crammed with a throng of eager listeners. The greatest curiosity was manifested to get a view of Deeming, and he afforded the spectators the desired opportunity by seating himself in front of the prisoner's dock, where every one could plainly see him.

The owner of the house identified Deeming as the man who had hired the house from him, giving his name as Drouin. There was intense excitement as the witness gave the ghastly details of finding the body, which, he said, had been doubled up, evidently with the object of saving the labor in digging a grave and to allow of its easier handling oy the murderer. Several witnesses ide jtified Deeming as the husband of the dead woman. Throughout the hearing Deeming wore a careless air, and on several occasions he laughed loudly at some of the statements made by the witnesses. KILLED FOR A KISS.
