men were for time compelled to with
draw from the Delaware avenue front on
account of the intense heat. Floor after

crush of falling timbers could be heard for

ing had all succeeded in escaping with the
exception of Luerssen. He had at first
come ont of the building in order to locate
tho fire, and at once went back, against
the protest of his friends, to assist in saw
ing tho building. He went to the second
story, where he was for a time stified by
the smoke, but he succeeded in getting to
the elevator, where he gathered gang OF
men and sent them safely below. The
last person who saw him alive was his
son-in-law, whom he had ordered to go
up to tho third story and remain until he
came up ON the elevator. At this time

had become 50 sitting that it was impos-
sible to endure it, and tho sou iii-iaw ran
below in order to save his own life.
Mr.. Luerssen was at the elevator when
last seen, assisting gang of workmen to
get down to the ground floor and to safety.
When they had reached the gro:lnd tho
elevator was sent up again, but it did not
come down, and it is supposed that the
unfortunate retiner was overcome by the
heat and smoke, and fell senseless on tho
floor soon after the elevator went down.

TIE declaration of Mr.. Elliott at tho
Allentown meeting in favor of protection
to American industry is in accordance
with the deliverance Of tho Harrisburg

cratic candidate for consres s:n in-at-large

will afford full protection to the working
man and profit TO the manufacturer. This
is unmistakable in its terms and SO com.
pletely meets the desperate device of tho

ELLIOTT AND HENSEL SPEAK.
The Democrats OF Old Lehigh ArOuseJ-The
Candidate for C0nSressman on tho
Tariff Question,

Tho Democrats Of Old Lshieh Arouse6-rhe
CANDIDATE for Congressman on tho
Tariff Question.
The new headquarters of the Americus
club at Allentown we're formally opened
Monday evening by Democratic meeting.
1t was the first meeting of the campaign
in that section of the state. Chair
man Hensel and Candidates Black
and Elliott were present. The new club
rooms are in an old residence that has
been handsomely refitted and refurnished.
A reception was held in the club parlors
from to 7:3O. The candidates shook
hands with large number of people. The
meeting was large and enthusiastic, and
was presided over by Robert E. Wright,jr.
the president of the club. Mr.. Elliott
spoke nearly an hour, and devoted much
Of his time to an exposure Of the corrup-
ton that has characterized Republi.
can administration in the state and nation.
He referred to the Cameron method of
politics and the baneful influence it has
exerted. In dwelling on the tariff ques-
tion, he said that the Democracy Of Penn
sylvania have declared for the protection
of Pennsylvania industries, and they mean
it. He said he was for tariff and would
afford full protection to the workingmen
and profit to the manufacturer.
Chauncey F. Black devoted himself to
tho consideration of state affairs, and the
absolute necessity Of effecting change in
tho administration, con tending that the
party in power for forty years has proved
false to the people and has shamclessly
plundered the treasury. He was scathing
in his reference to Cameron and the
bosses.
Mr.. Hensel was the last speaker. He
gave a cheering account of the progress OF
the campaign and the bright prospects
before the party for victory. He urged
the necessity Of organization and hard
work. With these matters properly mt.
tended to there was no doubt Of victory
His speech, like tho others, was we'll re
ceived. After tho meeting the gentlemen
were serenadcd at tho Allen house and re
spOnded by making brief speeches.
Connolly Nominated for Congress.
Tho Democratic cOnferees Of tho Twelfth
district assembled at PittstOn have unani.

rHJl,I'S THE FUGITIVE.
Additional Counsel Engaged to Cont.
EVfR0sahtAnrN HDanRaAslenOo

Additional Counsel Engaged to Contest the
Extrsdition Proceedings.
Even in Hamilton, Ont, where few
people know anything about Major Ellis
p. Phipps and still fewer caro- anything
about him, the interest in the extradition
proceedings increases as tho day draws
near when it will probably DO settled
whether the major goes back to Philadel-
phia or remains in the Dominion. Betting
on tho question is about even. George w.
Harkins arrived in Hamilton with District
Attorney Graham and Mrs. Graham.
Neither of them say much, but the dis
trict attorney expects to secure Phipp's
extraditiOn.
Phipps has engaged additional counsel
in the person of B. B. Osler, queens
counsel, one of the most famous lawyers in
Canada, and tho man who, of all others,
can secure his retention in this country.
Oslcr is q very clover lawyer, and since he
has been employed by Phipps people
think more favorably of the majors
chances. If there is the slightest hitch the
Canadian authorities will refuse tn give
him up. They are more than ordinary
exacting now, since convict, who escaped
from the Eastern penitentiary and camo
to Ontario, was extradited ON . charge of
attempted murder, and when ho was
taken back he was not tried ON the charge
on which he was extradited, but for Jail
breaking. If there is any suspicion that
Phipps, in the event of his being extradited
on charges of forgery, would be tried on
his return, for embezzlement, then Phipps
will stay in Hamilton. He is in good spirits,
and thinks he will not be extradited, or
rather he says he thinks so.
In conversation on the extradition ques-
tioD, Phipps said ."It's not bothering me
any. If they (the Philadelphia peOple)
only tell the truth they can't hurt me-"
TIarkins, Oslcr, Carscaden and Cahill, all
lawyers for the defense, were down to- the
jaii to see Phipps last evening. Graham
had consultation with tho chief of police
and Edward Martin. Each party is afraid
of the other, and will sly nothing Of the
probable complications in the hearing
Who will get the reward for PhippsP ar
rest is . question over which Pinkerton's
man and Detective Leslie Wright are
battling. Wright discovered the major in
Hamilton and made the arrest. Phipps
was tracked by a photograph sent there
from Philadelphia.

The New York Sun intimates very
strongly that the editor of the Herald
has an attack of deliri,m tremens. That
journal published a lengthy article
charging the Sun with being in alliance
with Jay Gould to give him control of
the associated press. Gould, It seems,
controls three of the members of this or
ganiZstiOn which furnishes the telegraph
news to all the papers in the country.
He owns the World, EIpress and Ii;-
bune, leaving the Sun, Herald and Jour-
nal Of Commerce as the only members of
the associated press out Of his nasty EN-
brace. Dana. of the Sun, as the story
went, had been bought by some '.points''
given him by Gould in a stock
transaction, whereby he made a
pile of money. That story doubtless
was sfoundationless; /; but its PRONUNCIATION
served to stir up the Sun to a vigorous
fire on Gould to demonstrate its falsity
no doubt. The Herald's assault upon
the Sun seems to have been sufficiently
Objectless to warrant the suspicion that
the man who conceived it was at least
silly /; since it does not seem to have
leen the best way to win the Suns vote
in the association to the Herald's views,
for the latter to publicly abuse it.. The
public have no present interest in the
quarrel but If it should ever come
to pass that Gould should get pos
session of the channels of infOr-
nation 1t will have a, very lively
interest In the question. II this is
Gould's aim he overreaches himself. A s
long as he confines himself to his work
Of fleeing the lambs and fighting the
sharks of Wall street he may follow his
devices; but the innocent outside public
will have more Of his pestilent touch.
