ROCHESTER,, Feb. a. Father Wurst, form
erly assistant priest in this city; now Of
LeSueur, is stopping a few days with US.
MIR. George Cunningham, formerly Of this
city, has assumed the book-keeper position
OF the Dispatch company.
CDR. Burns" an old inebriate, was incar-
cerated in the lookup for twenty days; becom-
ing indignant, he smashed out all the window
glass available and the cooler has now been
made dark for his accommodation.
At about o'clock this morning the fire bell
rang (while gale was blowing from the
NorthwesD the cause being the roof of the
dwelling of e. A. fernandez, at East Roches-
ter, being discovered all on fire. Mr.J. is en-
plOyed in Odds. q Fishbeck's mill and went
home at 10 o'clock midnight
an hour and half later the engineer In the
saw-mill in passing the house saw the flames
bursting through the roof. 1t being good
one story brick dwelling, the fire had caught
from the chimney, and the rafters were all on
fire when discovered. Hastily smashing in
the door, he awakened the family, the children
running to neighbours barefooted. The de-
partment responding with its usual alacrity,
the Alert hook and ladder company being first
on the ground. The engine and hose was not
used, the t'bOss" miscalculating the distance,

HOsC to Serve the Horse LeecheS,
D the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Truly you say in your issue of February s.,
"the horse leech is with us again" The city
threw aside politics last fall and voted for
members of the legislature who were sound on
plea of higher education rob the State treas
ury by annual appropriations and deficiency
steals. The cities where the Normal schools
are located are interested in the steals from
the taxpayer, they have few students to feed
and clothe, give work to a few laborers, en-
ploy numbers of hangers on at high salaries
who otherwise would have to labor for sub
sistance or starve. Wise legislation seeks to
lessen the burdens of the people, but the horse
leech called Normal schools deficiency, i'm
provement, ETC., is nothing less than robbing
of the average taxpayer. The money annually
thrown away on Normal school buildings for
the identifying of the cities where located,
should be used for the lettering of our dis
trict schools, and so give the rural schools
more chance to improve.
Better the Normal school buildings be given
to cities where they are located and stop this
sneaking steal from the people under the guise
of advancing education. No good citizen
wishes to be made stumbling block in the
road to genuine education, therefore many
members vote for the steal, who believe it
wrong, rather than be pointed at by those
"horse Ieeches" as blocking the wheel of adj
vancing education.
Being a subscriber to your paper, shall
watch with interest how the votes are cast on
normal school "steals," and being personally
acquainted with many members who feel as
do, there may be possibility of defeating the
nefarious schemes of the leeches whose cry is
always for ''more, more"

The Oil Mill Explosion Gives Up its Dead
Inquest This Morning.

The Oil Mill Explosion Gives Up its Dead
Inquest This Morning.
After three days of incessant and narrowing
toll on the site of the oil mill explosion, the
ruins, yesterday, were made to deliver up their
dead. While prosecuting the search, about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, workmen unearth-
ed the charred and blackened remains of the
unfortunate victims John Muer and John Petri
The bodies were found on the north side of the
building outside the wall, about eight or
ten feet apart.
The remains were so badly disfi CURED, both
from fire and the falling debris, so as to be
almost beyond recognition, and they were dis
tinguished by the size.
The body of the young man, John Petri,
was found outside the wall, near the edge,
about fifteen or twenty feet from where the
Muer were found little to the west of the
other body, about thirty feet from the entrance,
and beyond the outside rail of the side track.
The position of the bodies, when found, in
dicated almost beyond a doubt that the men
had anticipated the catastrophe and that
they were fleeing from the mill when the ex-
plosion took place. Being outside the mill.
they were overtaken by the explosion and
buried by the falling wall.
Coroner Davenport was informed of the dis
covery and viewed the remains. They were
enclosed in boxes by Leigh Il Co., the under
takers, and an inquest will be held at the site
of the mill at 1890 o'clock this morning. The
friends of both parties have been telegraphed
and will no doubt make their appearance to-

PETER COOPER.

Celebration of His Doth Birtbday-Addi-
tional Requests for the Cooper Union.
New YORK, Feb. 12.-The Goth birthday of
Peter Cooper was celebrated this evening in
the large hall of the Cooper Union. After
an address by Prof. Raymond a letter was read
from Mr.. Cooper to the trustees of the Union,
in which he asked them to accept his check
for $4,000, to be added to the $4,000 golden
wedding endorsement fund, established by him
seventeen years ago, the interest of which had
been gradually given institutes for aid of poor
children. Mr.. Cooper also presented his
check for $4,000, together with receipt in
full for $4,000 expended the past year on the
the building. Resolutions of thanks were
adopted, and then Rev. Mr.. Singleton, of Bal
tiinore, made an address reviewing the life of
Mr.. Cooper and the history of the Cooper
Union. 1t was expected that the 500 students
would give serenade to him, but that part of
the programme was postponed until some
night next week. Mr.. Cooper passed the day
very quietly, and in the evening dinner party
was given at his residence Many coagratu-
lations were received during the day and even.

in the legislature fully understand the
issue. 1t is not contest between Beaver
and Bayne, but q contest to decide as to
whether or not the Camerons shall be
permitted to carry the offices of the State
in their breeches pockets. Beaver is
quiet as Objectionable as Oliver, for he
represents the same theory. He is the
tool eft the machine, especially selected
because of his willingness to do the bid
ding of his masters. The people are de-
termined to relieve themselves of the
yoke of the bosses, and will oppose the
representative of those men with as
great energy and determination as they
have the other.
The new candidate of the independent
wing of the party is spoken of as a rella-
BILE, upright gentleman, with large eX-
perience in public life. For years past
he has been prominent in organizing and
leading the opposition to the Cameron
dynasty. He has been able to command
the respect of all parties, and would
make capable United States Senator, of
whom the State might be proud
There is some talk of a
fusion between his supporters
and the Democrats with the purpose of
securing his election. Certain it is that
the Democrats cannot hope to elect man
of their own political faith. They might
with propriety do the next best thing,
and assist in overturning powerful ring
that has been more potent than any other
agency in Pennsylvania in working disas-
ter to the Democratic party.
Many of the Republican papers affect
to believe that in the end a compromise
between the warning Republican factions
will be reached, and that by such means
Gen. Beaver will be elected. This is
wholly improbable, for the boilers from
the caucus nomination fully understand
that in the event of Beavers
success they would be regarded and
treated as traitors and outlaws.
They have periled their whole political
future on the result They have the
choice of but two things. They must
either succeed in breaking the ring, or
they must be content to abandon all hope
of again taking part in the management
of affairs The latter is not to be thought
of for an instant They will not willingly
submit to being driven out of the party
for simply standing up for their convic-
tions Of right. There is therefore no
greater prospect of settlement of the
contest than there was month ago. 1t
is life and death struggle between the
factions. The Democrats hold the fate of
either of them in their hands. If they
are eventually to decide it they might as
well do it first as last, and put all con-
cerned out of their misery.

SAD ACCIDENT.
A Resident of Newport Instantly KILLED
and Another Seriously Injured.

A Resident of Newport Instantly Killed
and Another Seriously Injured.
Another Of those shocking, fatal and appar-
emily inevitable railroad accidents occurred at
Newport, fourteen miles from St. Paul, on the
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad yesterday afternoon, resulting in the
death of one and perhaps fatal injury of an
other estimable and we'll known citizen of that
village. The accident occurred about O'Clock,
and Immediately after the passenger train due
here at 6 o'clock A. NJ. yesterday morning had
pulled out from the station.
The unfortunate victims to the affair are W.
R. Scofela, grain dealer, and proprietor of a
grist mill at Newport, and Corlin k. Manning,
| farmer and gardner. The latter was killed
outright and Mr.. Scofield was seriously in
| jured.
| Particulars of the accident and how it oc-
| Cured are as follows: At the time named the
express train had pulled out from the station
and had gotten pretty we'll under way.
Leading from the station, and running par
allel with the track for some distance is a
| road or highway, connecting Newport with
railroad track couple of blocks above the
station. When the train pulled out Messrs.
Scofleld and Manning were driving along the
road in a cutter behind spirited horse. On
the approach Of the train the animal became
frightened at point near the junction of the
highway and railroad, and where both AFTER
les are only separated by a few feet
The animal plunged and champed the bit, and
in his endeavors to get away it was impossible
to check him. Getting beyond control, he
landed on the crossing just as the train came
up; the shock followed and the wreck was
complete.
Mr.. Manning and the horse were killed out
right. The former was struck in the head,
which was terribly mangled, while Mr.. SEQ
field had most narrow escape from the same
fate.
1t was decided to bring Mr.. scofield to st.
Paul for medical attention, and the remains Of
Mr.. Manning were brought to this city. The
former was taken to st. Joseph's hospital, and
attended by Drs. Murphy and Quinn. 1t was
found that the pelvic bone had been broken,
the injuries of the right shoulder had been
sustained, and that he had received several
cuts in the face and head. The remains of
Mr.. Manning were taken in charge by Gross,
the undertaken, and were forwarded to New
port at sos o'clock last night.
A special train was sent to Newport last
night, and returned with Mrs. Scofeld and
several relatives of the injured man. The
physicians think that Scofeld will recover.

THE PENNsTLTANIA SENAroRsHIP

THE PENNSYLVANIA SEN4TORSHIP.
An important change has taken place
in the status of the Senatorial contest in
Pennsylvania during the past week.
Henry W. Oliver and Galusha A. Grow,
the opposing Republican candidates,
have withdrawn their names from the
legislature, and divers successor to the
fight is Gen. Beaver, man as subservient
to the Cameron dynasty as any in the
State. Col, Bayne, of Pittsburgh, has
been chosen by the Independents to sue
coed Grow, and has thus far carried all
the votes which the eX-speaker has been
able to command. Thus, while the NOM
inal leaders have been changed, the con-
test remains in fact q question as to
whether the Camerons shall or shall not
rule the State. 1t is important, however,
from the fact that the withdrawal
of Oliver is an acknowledgment of the
weakness of the machine BOSSES They
succeeded IN foisting their candidate
upon the Republican caucus. but were
unableto elect him. They have therefore
changed commanders in the hope that
some of the animosities engendered dur
ing the prolonged contest may be allayed,
and submission to their dictatorship in a
modified form be accepted.
Notwithstanding this latest move, it is
