Tilden's vitality, in view of he reports OF
the Republican press for the past two or three
years, is nothing less than marvellous. As he
is charged with aspiring to the Presidency,
and of making . still hunt for the Democratic
nomination in 1884, it is about time that we
are told that the old statesman is threatened
with paralysis, or softening of the brain, or
that he is tottering on the verge of the grave
with physical debility. The Republican press
will prove recreant to its trust if it does not

At the New York State election which

At the New York State election which will
be held on the first Tuesday of November, a
Secretary of State, a Comptroller, a State
Treasurer, an Attorney General, a State En-
gineer and Surveyor and an Associate Judge
Of the Court Of Appeals are to be elected. At
the same time there are to be chosen Con.
gressmen to fill vacancies in the Ninth, Elev-
enth, Twenty-second and Twenty-seventh
Districts, 80 State Senators and 1913 Assem-
blymen. The Democrats are %harmonizing in
every locality and feel sanguine of carrying
the election by a handsome majority, while
the Republicans are broken up into two ir-
reconcilable factions each entertaining dead
ly enmity against the other. New York and
Ohio may be safely counted on for rolling up
large democratic majorities this year.

TO ARTHUR.

1t is said that officers of the Central Pa
ci6c have been considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
a mandamus compelling Vice-President Ar
thur to appoint an auditor of railway &C.
counts, on the ground that the bureau is now
without a head, and will be compelled, in
consequence to rest under the odium OF a
charge to defraud the government, while they
are ready and anxious to proceed to trial as
soon as a commissioner is appointed.
Some time ago there was a stay of proceed
lngs granted, on q motion of Assist ant
United States District Attorney Clarke, in
the Circuit Court of New York, until thirty
days after an auditor OF railroad accounts was
appointed by the President, and extending
the time of taking the testimony three months
after the expiration of the stay, thus moving
a delay on motion of counsel for govern
ment of four months after tine commissioner
shall be named. The defendants, is said
intend to base their application. for a man.
damus upon the instructions of Attorney-Gen-
eral MacVeagh to Mr.. Clark, in which he said
the case must rest as it is until the President

pecialiy admitting the constitutional inability
of the President. 1t appears that the law is
so constructed that in case of a vacancy in a
bureau such as this, the appointment of the
chief of which is not vested in the head of the
department to which the bureau belongs, the
deputy OF such officer or chief clerk shall per-
form the duties of the Office until a successor
be appointed. The. act creating the Of
fee Of auditor of railroad accounts does not
provide tor any deputy or chief clerk, so in
this case there is no one under the law to
perform these duties. The person in office
now is simply a ~bookkeeper whom
Kirkwoood had placed there to keep up the
books, but he has no official status, and no
one can de the duties of auditor until the
President shall appoint some one to fill the
vacancy. In the meantime the same act re-
ferred to above makes i s demands upon the
auditor, who does not now exist, TO examine
the books and accounts Of the railroads west,
north and south of the Missouri river, to
which is being granted subsidies in bonds or
lands; to certify to the correctness of the &C

grant roads, says the auditor shall do this or

authority. Upon the language Of this act the
Central Pacific will lay claim to enforced

Destructive Fire at Minneapolis (!
POUR FIGURING MILLS AND ONE
COTTON MILL CONSU N ED!
LOSS, %4I6,OOO!

ST. PAUL, MINI, December AT
fsur O'Clock this morning fire broke
out in the milling district of Minne-
apolis, destroy ing before it was sub
dued four large flour mills and one
cotton mill, and causing the death OF
at least tour men. The fire broke out
In the Pillsbury Touring mill, owned
and opeI ated by e. A. Plllsbury Il Co.
1t communicated to the Excelsior mill
owned by Dorillius Morris and opera
ted by G. A. Pillsbury d Co., and the
Minnesota mill owned and operated
by Crocker, Fisk & Co., which explo-
ded, killing Neil Frederlcks, first as
sistant engineer of the fire department.
The fire then communicated to the
engine mill owned by u. F. Watson
OF Massachusetts, and operated by G.
"A. Pillsbury & Co. The street having
been reached at this point, the fire was
got under control, but the brands from
the conaagration falling upon the roof
of cotton mill near by, owned by
Dorillius Morris, it was also consum-
ed. Thus fonr Touring mills and one
cotton mill were consumed, with a
railroad trestie work in tha ear of the
mills, and several freight cars filled
with wheat. The fire bad communi-
Gated to the mill of Crocker, Fisk &
Co., when an explosion occurred that
levcled the wall OF the structure,
crushing the elevated railroad track IN
front of the mill, and killing three
persons, inj uring another fatally, and
and several others in q loss degree. 1t
is possible that more than thl es fatal
titles have occurred as the result of the
explosion, but how many cannot bo
definitely stated. Among the number
killed were Assistant Chief Engineer
Neil, Fredericks, and a Mcmber of the
hook and ladder company named Hu
ey, who, with other firemen, occupied
a place on the elevated railroad track
Immediately in front Of the mill. Sew
eral other of the firemon similarly
engaged were injured, and the force
at the fire was somewhat disorgauiZed
in consequence. A third person who
has not yet been identified, and who
occupied place in tho front offics OF
PIllsbury & Co, was killed by a fl, ing
missile, and one other person, who
was standing under the elevated rail-
road. and who was cruahed to death
by the walls and timbers of the rail
road track, is known to have been
killed. The explosion was one OF
great violence, shattering windows as
far as ten blocks away from the scene,
and startling people from their early
slumbers In all parts Of the city. The
cause is matter of speculation thus
far. The mill had been shut down
for some time, and the explosion is as
likely to have been from confined gas
as from flour dust. to which the mill
explosion was attributed. The capac.
ity of the mills is 400 barrels. Total
capacity of Minneapolis mills is 25,-
500 barrels the mills destroyed rep
rssenting about one-tenth of the whole.

F~R THE SHARPERS!

The following particulars of the
robbery OF the Commercial Bank,
of Cleveland, which occurred Oh Sat
urday last, we cSndcnse from the
Leader:
Al l2:l5 o'clock, President ID. J.
Esils, the President of the Commercial
National Bank, was sitting in his pri-
yate Office cutting off coupons from a
pile OF bonds, which lay beside hin,
on his desk. When he had finished
he placed tho bonds in a small paste
board box. about eight inches long
and fivo wide. Mr.. George ii. Ely, a
friend of Mr.. Eells, came in to talk 10
him, and Mr.. Eells, laying down the
box, soon became engaged in CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Ely. While Mr.. Eells
was talking to his friend stranger
came into the cf1lce, bowed TO Mr..
Howard Eells, who was sitting at the
other side Of the double desk, and
took seat very close to Mr.. Eells.
Mr.. Howard Eslls said to Mr.. Crltten-
den, who was sitting beside him, that
the man was very impertinent to sit
SO close to Mr.. d. Z. Es,ls and Mr..
Glidden while those two gentlemen
were engaged III private conversation.
Young Mr.. Eells thought, however,
that the man might not be acquainted
with his father, and paid no particular
attention to him. Mr.. D. p. Eells did
not speak to the man, but continued
to talk very earnestly with Mr.. Gid
den. The stranger took up bank
register book, marked In it little,
walked up aud down the room, and
appeared to be anxious to speak to
Eells. After waiting several minute 8
he slowly LETT the room. 1t is believed
that he picked up the box of bonds
and placed 1t under his coat.
In about fifteen minutes, when Mr..
Eells turned to pick up the box of
bonds he discovered that it had dis
appeared.
Mr. Eells offers rewsrd of 5000
for the recovery of the bonds, and
50, 500 additional for the arrest Of the
thief

Dea til OF q Veteran OF 1919.

DAYTON, O.. December An old
veteran of 1872, named Robert War
neck, died at the Soldiers Home Hos
pital to-day. He was from Hudson
county. this State, and was in his 1O3i
year. His age is confirmed by the
records of enlistment in 1872. He
had only been as the Home about a
month, where he was taken when he
became feeble from a cancer which
caueed his death. Warneck was a
native Of Virginia, and up to within
= few years was in good health. His
relatives live in Hardin county, to
which place his body will be taken
for burial.
