They were found lying together under the
wall and only few feet distant from the

Sachem street, adjacent to the warehouse.
Seven bodies were those OF negroes. The re-

age firm The bodies were burned almost
beyond recognition, and principally by the
articles found upon them were they ldentl-
fed The sight was sickening as the burned
and unrecogniZable remains were removed
from the debris. They were placed in boxes
and removed to the morgue to await the
action of the Coroner and burial by their
friends. 1t is believed other bodies are still
buried among the fallen walls and the fire.

Prominent New Workers at Newport Seek
ing Divorce.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-The Times special
from Newport, r. l., says:
1t is generally believed that several we'll
known New York ladies are residing here for
the purpose of securing divorces from their
husbands under the very lenient laws OF this
State, which simply require parties to be
residents of the State before securing legal
separation. Many names are freely used at
the Casino, clubs and upon the street, put
as yet none of the ladies have officially
made known their intentions to the Clerk of
the Court.
Mrs. Henry Turnbull, of New York, who
is great faYorite in social circles arrived
here Yesterday with her children, and with
no less than twenty large trunks. She mas
taken a years lease of the cottage on the
corner of Kay and Bull streets, owned by
Mrs. E. W. Howard. Mrs. Turnbull was ac
companied from New York by three servants
and by Colonel Delancey and Mrs. Kane
and Mrs. Walter L. Kane, sister-in law OF
Colonel Kane. 1t is alleged that Mrs Turn
bull will be allowed to secure divorce at the
proper time and that satisfactory terms have
been agreed upon between her and the hero
is rich. while her husband is not possessed OF
any means to speak of. Shortly after the
Union Club sensation he secured a position
as clerk in one of the departments at Wash
ineton, but it is learned that he only retained
the position short time 1t is also under
stood that he is heartbroken and has lost all
his ambition. Mrs. Turnbull was met at the
wharf by her twelve-year-old son, who had
preceded her. She lovingly embraced him
! and mildly chided him for not having his
| overcoat on.
1t is said that Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry
! Belmont, nee Whiting, of New York, is de-
/ termined to apply for divorce. Belmont IS
| the son of August Belmont, the banker, and
resigned from the Navy last year. He was
married to Miss Whiting in December last.
/ The wedding was brilliant affair. Mrs. Bel
mont is the mother of daughter, born a few
weeks ago. The trouble originated while
4 the newly-married couple were spending the
honeymoon in Europe, and it is alleged that
/ Mrs Belmont has good and sufficient grounds
/ for asking for a separation. Her case is in
! the hands of William Sheffield, one of the
ablest lawyers in the State, Mrs. Belmont
while abroad resided with her mother, Mrs
L. S. Whiting, who is a daughter OF the
late Judge Swan of Ohio and with her two
| unmarried daughters. Mrs. Whiting was 50
indignant at the unaccOuntable and pro-
longed absence of her three-months-Old SON
in-law and with his conduct that she packed
up and took her family to New York, arriv-
ing early in June. This step was determined
upon while Mr.. Belmont was absent from
their apartments. Mr.. Belmont returned to
New York on the next steamer, and caused
to be published through the Associated Press
a denial of the report that he and his wife
had separated. The Whiting family came

Sixty-one towns, including Lynn. Lowell,

The com plete vote OF Boston, as given by

25,954, Buffers majority, 6,2ll. Last year
Boston gave Butler 30, l75; Bishop, II ,005;
Almy, 2ls. If these figures are substantiated
by later returns they will doubtless give the
State to the Republicans.
Sp. Returns from 134 cities and towns
in the State, including all the cities, give
Butler 1O9, ,535; Robinson, los, ,l62; majority
for Butler, 1873. Most OF the strong Butler

wipe out this majority and give a majority
for Robinson.

Rutler,s Defeat.

Bosros, Nov. 6.-The Post says: Butler
has led the Democrats OF Massachusetts into
trouble, but he can not help them out. We
trust they are manly enough and far-seeing
enough 10 help themselves. They were
never in debt to this man. They have
never will repay. So far the result
IS a condemnation OF Butlerism. Our resiG-
nation is profound and consummate. he
can still make trouble in the Democratic
family, 10 doubt, but he can rot enter upon
his cherished scheme of Tammanyizing the
country with the prestige of Massachusetts,
behind him.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6,-From the Herald: In
Massachusetts, Ben Butler, pestlfferous
demagogue and one of the most dangerous
men lately prominent in American politics,
is unquestionably defeated. 1t was not a
question OF majorities in Massachusetts,,
the defeat of Butler was the object aimed at,
and was accomplished in spite of his vile
charges against the management OF Republi-
can Institutions. Possibly, in consequence
OF them, he was refused reelection. The
issue was not the same as if he had
been seeking reelection as
Governor on the same terms
as on Robinson. He had served one term.
Usage in Massachusetts gives the second
term to the Governor whose Administration
has reflected honor on himself and the Com
monwealth. The retirement of Butler to
private life is equivalent to censure upon
his private life and public conduct 1t put
an end summarily to Butler's Presidential
aspirations.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 6-The Republi-
will say The people respond not guilty

or corrupt administration. Massachusetts, is
not yet given over to the domination OF igno
rant, foreign born or foreign fathers"

This decision of the President is in answer to

tested against the recent decree of the Post
office Department in the lottery case, which
decided that so long as the National Bank in
question acted as the agent for the Lottery

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Fror. the World .
THE Democratic triu-5I1n in New York
State is Of no Urinary character. It was
more than party success. 1t reaches
further and rises higher than mere party
victory of Democrats over Republicans. 1t
means 1884. 1t means a change at Washing
ton. 1t means the people are tired of the
ruling party. 1t means vindication OF popu-
lar self-government.
