New York, June 1.-THE Times to-
day further analyses Buffers aims; All
winter and spring he has been engaged
in new movement which is nothing
more nor or less than the appropriation
of the organization and machinery of
the regular democratic party. He can
control the caucusing, and secure a
majority of the delegates to the state
convention if he wants them.
Boston is intractible and would ere
ate some opposition, but he has sub
stantial control of the party through
out the state.
But unfortunately for his plans, the
democratic party of Massachusetts, is in
the minority, and it is more than
doubtful if he can draw any material
reinforcement to its ranks. The repub-
licans are united and confident, and in
stead of viewing Buffers movements
with the trepidation of year ago, they
feel that the victory will be all the cas-
ier if he heads the combined opposi-
tion.

Struck by Lightning.

Philadelphia, June 11.-About II
O'Clock to-day the lightning struck
large warehouse at the oil works of
Warden, Frew & Co., at Point Breeze,
and the entire building was soon in
flames. Tie fire spread so rapidly that
the whole neighborhood is endangered.
The dwelling houses fronting the
warehouse are in flames. The shipping
In the Schuylkill river is burning rap
idly. Owing to the distance from the
city proper, and the telegraph Office being
burned, no definite information of the
progress of the fire can be obtained.
The last dispatch said that seven yes.
sells were burning and many others in
imminent danger.
At 3 O'Clock the Atlantic petroleum
storage company's warehouse and office
were completely consumed. There are
plenty of engines on the scene, but still
at this hour, the fire is raging fiercely
and not yet under control Five vessels
have been entirely burned. The prop
erty of the oil companies in jeopardy is
valued at over two million dollars.
At Conshohocken last night the mill
of j. & L. Lee was struck by light
ming, and burned. Loss over 1926, 900;
insured $4,000.

A Destructive Storm.

Dubuque, Iowa, June ia gale of
unusual severity, accompanied with
thunder and lightning, swept over the
city last evening, doing incalculable
damage to property, unroofing build
ings, demolishing fences and strewing
the streets with limbs and trunks of
trees. The buildings damaged are the
Third ward school, Couler avenue
school, the round houses and the eleva-
tors, all having their roofs raised by
the gale. A raft of logs, owned by
Ingram, Kennedy s. Day, broke up and
went down the stream, the loss will
amount to $4,000. Seventy-fye dead
sparrows were found this morning in
the park. Trains run on time. The
storm threatened all the afternoon, but
broke upon the city about seven o'clock
at night, continuing over three hours.
Two inches of water fell on level.
The velocity of the wind was seventy
five mile an hour, government measure.
Only one life was lost, that of a small
boy. The wires which have been down
ever since, have just been restored.

Omaha, June ia fatal case of
insubordination occurred in the state
penitentiary at Lincoln few evenings
since. Just before the convicts quit
work in the stoneyard, two men, Smith
and O'Brien, got into fight. They
did not heed the orders to stop, and
the guards were then ordered to fire
blank cartridges at them. After sew
eral shots were fired, Cochran, captain
of the guards, ordered his men to load
with ball. The fight continuing,
Blaney, one of the guards, fired, and
the ball hit O'Brien in the thigh, lodg-
ing IN the groin, inflicting wound
which will probably prove fatal. Both
of the couvicts were sentenced from
Wyoming territory for stage robbery.
Blaney is the same guard who killed
McWaters, leader in the penitentiary
mutlny several months ago.

The Railroad Trouble.

Denver, June 11.-The following de-
tails have been reported in relation to
the service Of the writ of injunction by
Bowen, of the fourth district of this
state, in accordance with which the
Denver Il Rio Grande railway company
has recovered possession OF its con-
structed railway between Denver and
Alamosa:
The service at all points between
Denver and Pueblo was unattended by
any serious opposition, but at South
Pueblo, where most of the rolling
stock and power had been accumulated
by the adverse party, large body OF
armed men were organized to resist it.
The sheriff, with posse of one hun
dred and fifty men, however, succeeded
at 3 p. m. in driving ont of the rail-
road buildings the men who had held
them, and besides recovering the rail-
road property took fifty stand of arms
and some ammunition. Some shots
were exchanged at this point and one
man seriously, if not mortally wounded.
Following is the substance of a tele-
graphic report just received from
point beyond Pueblo: At a. m. the
writ was served at Alamosa by depu-
ty sheriff, and possession of the station
house and office taken by Gov. Hunt.
At a. IN. an improvised train, under
the charge of roadmaster Green, came
across the bridge into the town. Sub
sequently it started with strong guard
and working force, telegraph wire and
apparatus. United States mail and horses
for courier service, and for possible
contingencies, a surgeon. The train
was fired upon at Cuchares and one
man killed The fire was returned and
two of the assailants mortally wounded.
They then dispersed and scattered. At
point further north mob fired on
the south bound train and killed one
man. The party on the train returned
the fire, seriously wounding one of the
assailants, and subsequently captured
the survivors. The telegraph had
been cut at several points beyond Pueb-
10, by parties who were armed to resist
the service of the writ, and it is i'm
possible to give details with exactness

Berlin Festivities.

Berlin, June 1.-THE city was in
holiday attire yesterday in honor of the
emperor's golden wedding, which will
be observed to-day. Special sentry
boxes flank the doors of the embassies,
palaces and hotels till the arrival of the
distinguished guests, as mark of the

the empire addresses are voted by pro-
vincial assemblies, municipalities and
universities, the day taking the charac-
ter of universal festival. Newspapers
of every shade unite in expressing un-
divided love and allegiance to the rev.
cred monarch. Berlin, even yesterday,
was rapidly filling with all kinds of Wis.,

JUDGE BAXTER, Of the United States

JUDGE BANTER, of the United States
district court, in opposition to the
Tennessee supreme court, decides that
the repeal of the charter of the city of
Memphis is void AS it was an evident
attempt to defraud the city's creditors,
this action in seeking to repeal the
charter only discredits Memphis; puts
black mark upon it. Judge Baxter
holds that even granting the power of
the legislature to repeal the charter of
the city, nevertheless such repeal would
not abolish the municipal debt. The
case will now go to the United States
supreme conrt.

They Win Have Powder.

London, June 11.-Fresh discoveries
of the revolutionary propaganda in
Russia continue to be almost daily
made. One of the most startling is
that of the discovery of number of
secret lgunpowder manufactures at
Torvie, in Siberia. 1t appears that
these mills have been in operation for
several months, and it is believed that
large quantities of powder made by
them have been distributed among the
disaffected populace of that portion of
the country.

New York, June 1.-THE sad death

nent men have become interested in
the plan. and only last week confer
ence was held, at which some of the
details of a new expedition were de-
cided on. 1t is said that this expedi-
tion will be carried out, and Mr.. Wood
ruff's name will be retained in respect
to his memory. His death was caused
by anxiety and overwork.

Washington, June 1.-THE outlook
for a very early adjournment of con-
gress is not nearly SO promising as it
was yesterday The senate appropria-
tion committee this afternoon reported
the legislative and executive appropria-
tion bill, with number of amend
ments which are likely to delay its
final passage through both houses.
The silver men contemplate making
another effort to get Warmers bill out
of the hands of the finance committee,
even if it be thereafter left on the cal
endar until next SESSION.
Prominent republican senators an
nounce an intention to offer and debate
at some length, important amendments
TO the army ana judicial expenses APP
preparation bills, and, above all, there
are unexpected indications this evening
that the president, under the influence
of advice given him yesterday and to-
day by several leading republicans in
congress, has begun to waver in his
hitherto formed intention to sign the
judicial expenses bill, and now serious
ly thinks of returning it without his
approval, unless one or two of its pres
ent provisions be modified.
The principal objection is against the
clause which prohibits all officers of the
government from incurring any liabili-
ty in advance of the appropriation. 1t
is argued that this might sometimes
prevent the efficient execution of GER
tain clauses of the laws, such as those
against illicit distilleries and timber
depredations.
In view of these various considera-
tions, it seems highly improbable that
the session will terminate before the
close of next week, under any circum-
stances, though in case of a veto of the
judiciary expenses bill, both houses are
ready to adjourn forthwith, and take
the chance that the president will not
convene another extra session for that
purpose

Geo. l.. Dowdall, a well-to-do farmer
living near here, was killed. 1t is sup
posed that in going from his work in
the evening his horse became fright
ened, and by some means not known he
was entangled in the harness and drag
ged over the ground some distance.
When found he was dead, with both
legs broken and also his neck. He was
about fifty years old and brother of

Colorado Railroads.

Denver, June 1.-THE railroad situ-
alton attracts much attention. Infor-
nation was received last night that
Judge Bowen, of the fourth judicial
district, had granted an injunction
against the A. T. & S. F. railroad,
prayed for by the D. & R. G. and the
state, through Attorney General
Wright. Writs were issued according
ly and placed in the hands of the sher-
ifs of the different counties through
which the road passes, and this morn
ing the d. & r. G. company took pos
session of the line and started passen-
ger train out of Denver. The doors of
the railroad offices were broken open
with cross-ties by the D. S r. G. peo-
pie. United States district Judge Hal
let has issued an order transferring the
hearing of the case to his court, and
the argument will be heard tomorrow,
as to whether Bowen's writ is effective.
The Denver & Rio Grande road was
leased to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe company about six months ago. but
it is claimed that the provisions of the
lease have not been complied with, hence
the present complications. If the Den
yer & Rio Grande remain in possession
of the line, which crosses the southern
part of the state and controls good
portion of the trade of New Mexico, it
will be operated in the interest of the
Jay Gould pool, including the Union
Pacific and Kansas Pacific, and the At
Gibson, Topeka and Sante Fe will be
cut out of Denver The suit involves
the possession of 337 miles of road,
several mountain passes, and many
million dollars worth of property. 1t
is fought strongly on both sides.

reading of the document some discus
sion arose, during which the republican
members gave assurance that they
would not object to to the presentation
of the report to the house for the pur-
pose of having it printed and recon-
mitted; the idea of desiring this pro-
ceedure being to afford the minority an
opportunity to prepare statement, en-
bracing their views upon the veto
question.
