SeUenteen Men and Women Of an Eaigrant
Party Perish IN Nebraska.
ST. Louis, Dec. PA gentleman who
arrived in Kansas City on Saturday last,
informed the Kansas City Times that the
Sunday previous terrible affair occurred
in Saline County, Nebraska. A party of
emigrants with their families were pass
ing through the county westward, when,
the cold constantly increasing, they con-
cluded to camp and light a fire. They
were on piece of high prairie several
miles from any house, but three miles
from them was a piece of timber land.
After unhitching their teams the men star
ted for this timber to procure fuel. Not
returning for several hours, the women
left their children and started to hunt for
them This is all that is known, save
that the next day the bodies of seventeen
persons who persisted from the intense
cold were found. The children who were
left in the wagons were the only survi
vors of the party.

The editors of the Democrat in their is
sue of the 23rd of Nov. in commenting
on an article which appeared in the Stark
County Ledger, on the subject of bob Lar
called the editor of the latter a Jack-ass.
We were aware at the time that the editor
of the Ledger was democrat, but could
not help thinking that our neighbor 5

the opprobrious term, Mussulman passes
the insult by unnoticed, and in an
article which was copied in the Democrat

of the packing box factory Of J. II. Swift, Nos. 9S
and 100 Norfolk street. The factory was quite an
extensive establishment, occupying two buildings,
one two story and the other three story brick
building-and eighty workmen were employed
there. When the flames burst forth the men were
at work In different parts Of the building. scene
OF great excitement and confusion ensued, and the
flames spread so rapidly that many OF the workmen
experienced great difficulty in making their escape
from the burning building Fortunately all escaped
uninjured, leaving behind their outer clothing and
tools, which were included in the general destruc
ton which ensued.
An alarm brought the iremen promptly to the
scene Of the connagration, owing to the innam-
maole nature of the stock in the building, which
consisted chiefly Of light pine lumber, the flames
burned so hercey that both buildings were CONF

tirey destroyed. The loss by the connagra-
tion cannot be definitely given, as Mr.. swift,
or Fire Marshal any information In relation thereto
From a survey OF the factory 1t Is believed, how
ever tnat the loss Will not fall short Of $780, on
which there Is not much INSURANCE.
The cause OF the fire Is being investigated by Fire
Marshal McSpedon. and IL is believed TO have origi
mated from the gross caree5sness OF the engineer in
charge OF the engine and boiler on the premises. 1t

When the news of the terrible disaster in the Avon
dale coal mine thrilled throughout the length and
breadth OF the land two years ago the popular mind
was Instantly stirred with sympathy, and at once
resorted to to give expression to that
sympathy in q substantial form. Over one hundred
victims perished by sui1OcatlOn in the burning mine
ana their families were left homeless and bereaved.
New York sent about one hundred thousand dollars
for their relief, OF which sum over twenty thousand
dollars sent in various sums to the HERALD otce
and transmitted hence to the Relief Fund Commit
tee.
As yet no public action has been taken for the for.
nation Of o central committee IN this city to take
charge Of the receipt and disbursement OF funds for
the relief OF the hundreds OF physical and pecuniary
sufferers by the Westfield boiler explosion. In
quite q number Of instances entertainments have
been given for their benefit, and the sums realized
have doubtless been properly disbursed; yet the
feeling OF benevOlence among our citizens must
necessarily be united by the fact that there Is no
organized and responsible HEADQUARTERS through
which their charities may be properly controlled. 1t
certainly seems fitting and just that New York.
