Terrible scene.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Burn
ING OF THE STEUBEN County,
y. Y, Poor IIoUsE.

BATH, n. Y, April Sin the
building of the Sleuben County Poor
House, which was burned on Satur-
day night, nearly all the windows
were grated, and there was but one
mode Of egress from each story. No
night Waterman was employed about
the buildings and there was no fire
apparatus. All the partitions were
made of pitch pine and burned like
finder.
The cries of Ford, who set Gre to
his bed, reused the other inmates on
ly after the building was filled with
binding smoke. An inmate, who
had Ford in charge, opened Ford's
door and the flames burst out and
ran along the partition and up the
stove-pipe hole into the second sto-
~.
Ford could not be seen on account
of the flames. He had forced his
head between the bars of the window
aud was unable to pull it back. The
upper Story was occupied by twenty
FIVE women ard children; the lower
story by eighteen men. A majority
we're idiotic, crippled or very aged.
Five on the first floor and ten on the
second floor persisted.
At the first alarm Eli Darlington,
the keeper, knocked 10 the door at the
foot Of the staircase leading from the
second story. Eight or ten women
were piled up at the foot of the stairs,
and a cloud of suffocstiDg smoke roll
ed down. The women were pulled
out.
On Sunday the blackened remains
Of five bodies were taken from the
ruins, and to-day about two-thirds of
the debris was dug over and more re-
mains were found. Altogether, they
would about fill an ordinary sized
cOfiu. Legs, arms and skulls were
entirely buraed of, and ia most cases
but a very small portion of the body
can be found.
No blame is attached to any one,
but the county is severely censured
for providing such a man-trap for the
occupation Of its paupers. Before
the FIRE there were one hundred and
forty paupers at the County House.
The Coroner empanelled a jury this
afternoon and began taking testimo-
ny. A verdict will not be reached
ill tomorrow.
Edward Hudson, aged ffty-six,
who crawled u of the building with
his clothes one mass of flames, died
to-day.

SPEAKING Of the course Of Repub-
iicans in the coming campaign, the
New York Times says:
Ii is necessary to draw a broad
line between that %unressoniDg anger
which, denouucing the President as
a traitor to his party, proposes to
drive him out unceremonioesly, aud
that more restrained feeling of disap.
pointment, not unmixed with con-
tempt. which condemns his course
aud refuses to accept responsibility
FOR its consequences. The bitterness
that exists is ineligible; the exped-
iency of giving effect to it in the ex-
treme way that has been suggested
is at leas; doubtful. Much the better
plan. as il seems TO US, would be to
leave my Southern policy" unno-
ticed, except so far as event may

Mr.. Douglass, his s%on-in-law, and
Mr.. EdeIstein, one Of bis counsel.
All hope Of his recovery was aban-
doned soon after eleven O'Clock, when
DR.. Carnochan announced clogging

exhaustion. At the time Of his
death there was no struggle, as be
passed away in sleep, with his head

nan was hurriedly summoned three
minutes before noon, and reaching
Mr.. Tweed's room the signal rang
out, and the long-prisoned old man
dropped back dead 10 his bed. His
last words to DIR. Carnocban were:
IL have tried to do some good, if
lave not had good luck. i am not
afraid to die. l believe The guardian
angles will protect me-"
The announcement of his death
spread rapidly, and a crowd of Curl
Gus people soon assembled outside

AT the peeiing Of the Republican

policy Of the President was freely
criticised, but it was determined TO
make no issue with him on questions
Dot approved ey the committee, and
if possible consolidate the party for
the struggle at the coming fall elec.
tions. or course, a conclusion so
sensible aud concilistory does not
suit the impracucsbles who are anx-
ious to compel implicit ac%quiescence
in the Presidents views, aud they
are bosstiully announcing that the
committee was compelled to adopl
this course, because with but few ex-
ceptions its members approve of the
Presidents course. A retort would
only widen the differences which the
committee hope to bridge over. Let
therefore, all sensible Republicans
stand by their c%olors, re-afirm the
principles of the Cincinnati Conven.
ton, make an earnest, determined
struggle to rescue the country from
the bands of the Democracy, and we
will secure the next Congress and
sweep the field two years hence fol

INCLUDING the Naval Deficiency
bill, the House Committee on Appro-
priations have bills before them pro-
viding for deficiencies to the amount
of IS, 500. 600. This sun represents
part Of the mount claimed by the
last Congress TO have been saved in
the expenditures Of the Government.
That Congress had determined to
save" o certain amount of money,
and the sum total was deliberately
taken out of the appropriations neces-
sary for the maintenance of the pub
lie service. The curious reader will
find, on turning to the official records
of the proceedings Of the Forty-fourtb
Congress, that these deficiencies were
pointed out at the time. 1t was clear.
ly shown that the Navy Department,
for example, could not get on without
the money estimated for by the off.
GERS OF that department. Ia the face
of incontroyeruble facts and figures,
the Democratic managers refused to
put bsckt the appropriation which they
had cut down. The Navy Depart.
ment is to-day So. 500, 600 short, and
an appropriation bill is to be passes
to cover that deficiency. The Dem
ocratic Party has bad the credit Of
saving many millions. To the pres.
ent Democratic House Of Represent.
atlves is assigned the melancholy du.
ty of proving that the party did moth

TnE POstofice and other depart

now hampered by want If the neees-

business. This is caused by the So
called economy Of the present Demo

to make political capital, so cut down
the necessary appropriation as to
make them insufficient for the abso-
Int necessities Of the Government.

10 his immuremeni in the prison, from
which death relieved him. Poor old

angels would protect him.
