Terrible Death from Fire.

"
dry dock in New York, last week, for the
purpose Of receiving a general overhauling,
and large force Of caulkers, ship-carpente's
and blacksmiths were put to work in her.
These men were scattered all ever the vessel,
and about 1880 a. m. the ship carpenters and
caulkers were in the lower holds, boring the
sides to see whether the planks we're sound,
while the caulkers had brought their oakum,
oil and pitch into the lower hold, to have it
ut hand when required. A ship carpenter
named John Casey, 90 Sheriff street, was
with the rest in the fore hold, testing the
planks, when he struck q match for the pur-
pose Of lighting his pipe, and having done
so, threw the burning match on the floor.
large pile OF oakum near by was ignited
by the match. Casey, in endeavoring to
smother the flames, was fatally burned. The
flooring OF the vessel bring saturated 18th
kerosene, benzine and Other highly combus-
tible liquids, in moment caught tire, which
spread with lightning rapidity, and the en-
tire hold from stem to stern was a mass OF
fire, converting it into trightful death trap.
The orkmen in this hold were tut of from
the air. They were in tomb filed with fire.
Some at work amidships were completely
surrounded by the fl .mes. Those not in the
midst Of the flames were exposed to the
deathly fumes which arose rom the fire, and
tell suGocated. The flames extinguished,
the police and firenen went into the hold {,
and soon found in various parts oil the bark
the bodies OF Eve men, all ship carpenters.
Another Tragedy as u Result Of the KOrthfeld
Raid.
Frank GlaZier. one of the guards
over the captured Mortified robbers, in Jail
at Faribault, Minn., instantly killed police
near the pump east OF the Jail, and turned
and saw 4 man just stepping from the side
walk into the yard. He ordered him to halt
but he did not and kept approaching Glazier,
who stepped back few PAGES and called out,
"Who are youP' The man continued to ap-
Rroach, saying: Don't you know am po-
liceman?" He was ordered to halt again,
stopped and then continued approaching.
The man then put his hand to his breast, as
it drawing revolver or knife. He was in
the shade OF the Jail. Glazier stepped back a
few steps, and the man stepped forward.
Then the guard fired and the man tell dead
He was taken up and carried into the sherif's
Office, and from thence to the court house.
He WAS shot directly through the lett breast.
At the inquest the jury rendered a verdict
that deceased came to his death from gun
shol wound, from the hands Of Frank Glazier.
The Bandltti Not Wanted in Missouri.
St. Louis Times.
If the authorities of Mortified have
succeeded in killing or capturing the North
field bank-robbers, they have done well and
ought to be satisfied. 1t is certainly out Of
place, however, for the governor Of Mime
sofa to expect the governor OF Missouri to de-
tail special commissioner at the expense OF
the State, to ascertain whether the captives
or corpses, as the case may be, belong to the
James-Younger family. 1t is not a matter OF
sufficient public interest to warrant the
action that the Minnesota governor requests,
and Governor Hardin does perfectly right in
declining thus to go outside Of his magister-
ial province, for the sake OF gratifying mere
spirit Of public curiosity. The criminals,
whoever they are, are beyond his jurisdic-
ton and likely to remain so, il the Minnesot
courts have evidence enough to convict the
survivors and even were it otherwise-even
were they ''Jameses' or ''Youngers'' there
is no Indictment against them here, ner any
around on which requisition could be is
sued to bring them here.
Something about Cuban Affairs.
A dispatch from Havana, dated the
18th says '"Captain General Jovellar unex-
pectedly returned to this city yesterday
morning. His sudden return after the papers
had said he went to make arrangements for a
winter campaign excites comments. Some
Gay he could not get beyond Los Cruises on
account oirebels in that neighborhood, but
the most probable reason is that he has re-
ceived Intelligence Of his being superseded
in the captain-generalship. This change
would make the present precarious condi-
ton still worse. General Jovellar, when he
Started from here, took sl5O, 600 in gold with
him to pay some Of the arrears to the troops.
Two battalions Of spanish troops are report
ed to have revolted tor not receiving the ar
rears OF pay" A telegraph from Madrid, Of
the same date, says: "Captain- General Jo-
.vellar has positively resigned, and General
Camp"s, his successor, will leave for Havana
this month, taking with him several g. nerals
Sc General CamPos is instructed with discre-
tionary powers.''
