y ROASTED ALIVE.
Terrible Fate of Eight Persons at East
Liverpool, Ohio.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 24.-At II O'Clock yes,
terday morning fire was discovered in
the drug store of Sloan Brothers, in
East Liverpool, Ohio. 1t is supposed
that Sloan being newcomer, did not
understand the heavy pressure of gas,
and left it burning in the store, over
which he and his family and seven chill
dren and brother-in-law. Mr. Skeels,
were stopping.
When Sloan discovered the fire he
awoke his family. He found the stairs
burned away, and took his daughter,
three. years old, leaped from the window
to the ground, told his wife who had a
baby in her arms, and the children to
follow. Sloan broke his leg in jump
ing.
The wife and children failed to jump
and were burned to death, also Mr.. Skeels.
The bodies were found this morning, the
wife with the baby in her arms, both
burned to crisp, and the five other chill
dren. huddled close by Skeels, were
probably smothered by smoke.

TO the State Of Michigan. Under an act
Of Congress, q State Constitution was
formed. which Congress refused to rati.
fy because OF the existing boundary
dispute between Ohio and Michigan,
which for a time seriously embroiled
this State with the MichIganders.
Congress finally agreed to the Michi--
gan Constitution, provided that Ger
tain defined boundaries, ceding to Ohio
her claim, were adopted. In the fall
Of 1886 a Convention met-nicknamed
the Frost bitten Convention, because
of a severe frost during its three DAYS
session-the boundary was changed,
and the. people elected Presidential
Electors in favor of Van Buren ana
Johnsonfor President and Vice Presi.
! dent The State was not finally ad-
mitted until January, 1897, which was
before the vote .or President was
counted by Congress, and yet the Joint
Convention of the two Houses to count
the vote refused to declare the vote of
Michigan, but skulked the question by
the declaration that If the vote of Michi-
gan be counted Martin Van Buren had
ITO votes, but if the vote of Michigan
te not counted, then Mr.. Van Buren
had but l67 votes, but in either case
he had a majority, and was elected.
No great wrong Of commission, it is
true, was committed by this hypothetic
declaration of the vote, but the crime
of omission was great one. Common
law is made up of custom, and prece-
dent makes common law. 1t Is an easy
matter to see how, perhaps at the next
Presidential election, this common law
practice of deciding election may work
injury and give rise to a popular in
dignation which may end in blood
shed. Within four years the choice of
President, honorahly expressed, has
been set aside and a man not elected
installed in office 1t will be a danger
Gus act for any party Of men to repeat
the great wrong of four years since. If
attempted it will be in refusing the
vote Of States enough to defeat or to
elect, as the majority IN Congress may
wish, and it will be done under the
forms of the common law practice of
refusing the right Of States to vote for
President, when they vote against the
wishes of a majority of Congress. f.

How III HAPPENED
That Hurd's Platform Went Down.
Frank Up 4 Tree, and the President
In the Mud.
tuneinnaii ENQUIRER. /

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - President
Hayes met with an accident to-day. He
had gone to Alexandria TO attend n cele-
bration of Washington's Birthday. One
OF the attractions fiamingly announced
by the managers on behalf of the hyber-
mated village was speech by Frank
Hurd. II there is any one thing which
draws a Virginia crowd like flies to Il
molasses. .barrell it is a patriotic speech
on the Father of his Country, no matter
by whom delivered.
A grand stand had been erected for the
speaker, and the invited guests. Upon
this stand were the President, Senator
Withers, Orator Hurd, and as many Vir-
ginians as could crowd upon it. The
bands. together with Virginia apple jack,
had filled the hearts of the assembled
patricts with burning enthusiasm. Frank
Hurd was dilating on the virtues of the
Hero of the Cherry-tree, when all OF a
sudden the grand stand gave way. Down
went the President and Senator Withers
to be mixed up with the common herd.
The break was not without warning,
in the nature of twisting of the stand.
Those present say, at this juncture the
expression upon the Presidents face was
simply indescribable. 1t was not one of
fear, but rather woe-begone look, as If
his hour had come to let 60 the good
things of this life. Hurd caught hold of
an upright, and was thus suspended in
mid air until taken down by nimble
son of the Mother of Presidents. The
President, after being trodden upon and
walked over by scores of Virginians in
rawhide boots, was fshed out, some the
worse for wear, but not hurt. His
clothes were soiled, and his new beaver
crushed. Senator Withers sprained his
leg.
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt,
and quiet being restored the band played
to give Orator Hurd courage, after which
he delivered fitting eulogy on departed
greatness. The news of the accident
reached the Capitol soon after its occur
renee, and created for time considera-
BILE excitement at the White House.
Private Secretary Rogers, like Rachel,
refused to be comforted until he got a
dozen kilograms that the President was
still zone of u.s."

Why She Couldn't Climb.


The other day John f. Wallack,
superintendent Of the Western Union
telegraph in this district, related a bit
of his experience. 1t occurred during
one of the nights storms so frequent last
summer. The violence of the wind had
detached the trunk quadruplex wire, used
for New York business, and the testing in
strument located the break at the first
pole west of Lewisvllle. Mr. Wallack called
up the operator there, and ordered that
the break he fixed.
Cant go out tonight; storm is too
bad," was the reply.
'Storm or no storm, the thing has to
be fixed"
"Well, I've got no ladder"
Go out and climb the pole" This
somewhat testify.
81 can't climb the pole"
"What's the reason you can't?' Mana
gers temper going fast.
"I'm woman"
Mr.. Wallack had forgotten, in the press
of business, that Lewisville had female
operator, but when reminded of it he gave
up the job and hired two boys to attend
to it.

A Very Peculiar Theory.

Says the Fort Wayne Sentinel: The
following rat story is told by West
Ender: A few days ago, he says, he
drove three miles to the house of farm
er to see wonderful curiosity. The far
mer, while pitching hay down from his
NOW, came on rat and speared him
with his pitchfork. He lifted the rat.
and was surprised to see that it was at
tached to half a dozen other rats, all of
which were alive. The rats were at.
tached to each other by their tails, which
were plated together after the most ap-
proved method of basket weaving. The
farmer reasoned thus, i'll explaining the
situation. The mother rat, after giving
birth to the brood. braided their tails so
that each might have the benefit of the
others heat, and that they might be bet
ter able to endure the arctic cold of win
ter. The rats had grown to maturity
apparently without thought of seces-
sion to interrupt the even tenor of hay
NOW existence.
