One report says she was burned to DEATH

many miles around. The fire is reported to

count of the fire. "a large prairie FIRE start
ed, yesterday afternoon, IN Richland pre-
cinct Saunders county, and the flames,
threatening the house of Mr.. H. Dayton, that
gentleman, his wife and her father, Mr. Ford,
went out to fight the fire. While engaged in
the work Mr.. Ford was severely burned, and
Mrs. Dayton went into the house to get some
remedies for him. Just at this juncture the
wind suddenly changed and drove the flames
right up to the house, setting it on fire and
burned it to the ground. Mrs. Dayton was
unable to get out, and was burned to death
right in front of her husband and father,
who were unable to help her."

WESTMINSTER, Nd, April 10-The most
disastrous fire ever known here occurred last
night, originating in Jacob Thompson's liv-
cry stable, in which Bob Thompson and
Aaron Sh@ffer, employees, were burned to
death; also thirty horses. Sixteen dwellings
and stores, including the Lutheran Church,
were destroyed. Loss, $4,000. The fire
cleared the whole square from Bond to Car
roll on Main street, and up Carroll. The fire
started at 11:30 last night, and was under con-
troll at this morning
later dispatch, dated at Baltimore, says:
Owing to the excitement and scarcity of OPP
orators at Westminster, few particulars of
the fire this morning have been received
Latest accounts state briefly that the fire is
under control; that thirty houses were
burned, and several persons consumed
There is no water supply at Westminster
and it fell an easy prey to the flames. Two
chemical engines were sent from here at 3
o'clock this morning. at call for help. The
loss will probably reach 800. 900.
Westminster is the capital of Carroll
county, Nd. and is situated near the east
base of range of hills which afford beau
tiful and extensive view. 1t is on the West
ern Maryland railway, thirty-six miles north
or nine churches, three national banks, a
savings bank, two newspaper Offices and the
Western Maryland College (Methodist Pro-
testant), which was organized in 1867. West
mister has manufactures of stationary and
portable engines, agricultural implements,
cigars etc. Its population is about 5,000.]
The fire was extinguished by rain which
fell steadily for several hours. Nearly all
the occupants of the burned buildings saved
the bulk OF their property. Westminster
having no water supply, its fire department
consists of one chemical engine and a hook
and ladder truck, utterly useless in such a
confagration. Four colored men, John
Clark, Charles Marfield, Robert Goodwin
and Hanson Dorsey, were arrested fer set
ting fire to stable while engaged in game
of cards. The coroner's jury say the stable
and reckless disregard of life and property
by the parties arrested Owing to fears Of
lynching, the prison is strongly guarded.

FALL OF A BUILDING.
A Condemned Shell at Rochester Causes
Several Deaths.

ROCHESTER,, April 10.-Ten minutes after
7 o'clock, this morning, the large building
on the northwest corner of Church and
State streets fell with a crash. The side
wall, facing Church street, had been erected
this winter 1t is supposed the mortar was
frozen and the warm weather OF yesterday
loosened the bricks and caused the fall
There were seventeen men at work in the
building. An alarm was sounded which
brought out the fremen and police, who are
working hard clearing away the debris. The
names of those found in the ruins are: r. L.
Warden, VIM. Ashbold, Frederick Kopler,
S. B. Burr, w. G. Gould, R. L. Brown, Ran
som Porter, Anthony Dankelspiel and
Matthew Beard The latter is dead; two of
the others are fatally injured. The owner
of the building was on the roof at the time
it fell, and is severely injured. Those who
were in the basement are probably killed.
Much indignation is felt toward the builder
and owner, l. f. Carter. Loss, $4,000. The
building had been condemned by the fire
marshal.

Don't Monkey with the Tariff Buzz-Saw.
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury
If the Democratic party knows what is
good for itself, and is gifted with an average
measure of foresight, it will prudently leave
the tariff alone for two or three years and
counsel the free-traders to bide their time.
There is just one thing that will give SUI
preme satisfaction to every Republican poll
tician who is waiting for the regulation Dem
ocratc blunder and that is for the Demo-
cratic party to ally itself with the visiona-
ries the doctrinaires and the Zealots who are
clamoring for the overthrow OF the protective
system.
The great majority of the people of this
country are still believers in the principle
of protection, and whether they are right or
wrong they will not be convinced as yet that
anything else is good for them
To embark in the free-trade boat is not in
the nature of an experiment. An expert
ment implies risk or uncertainty. To the
contrary there is too much certainty about it
the certainty of flying into the jaws of
danger and disaster.
How would Pennsylvania for instance, re-
spond to Democratic platform in 1884 with
tariff for revenue only as its central
plank?
The answer would come like the breaking
up of the foun tains of the deep, and the re-
suit would be that what progress free trade
has gradually made of late years would be
set back for twenty-five years to come.
Don't monkey with the tariff buzz-saw,
brethren.

Washington Special.
The fact that Mr.. Conklipg has been in
Washington good deal of late, and has not
been known to call at the White Houee for a
long time, has set the gossips busy again
about the old story OF an unpleasantness be-
tween him and the President. All sorts of

out of this administration. has been vigorously
denied, and is no doubt absolutely false. Yet
there little doubt that the President has been
estranged from Conklng and some others
who were formerly his most intimate friends
1t is said that the President is greatly de-
pressed over this fact, and that his present
trip is made partly to bring him out of this
state of mind. 1t is further said the Pres-
dent, whether he meant it or not, seemed to
put on an air of exclusiveness when he went
into the White House. which was not agree

considered something done or omit
ted to be done as snub,
and went away in intense Indignation and
declared that he was done with Arthur for
ever and ever. To several of his old friends,
who showed themselves offended, the Pres-
dent made advances in the shape of efIectng
a reconciliation, but he was met with rebuffs.
He considered it proper that he should meet
the requirements of the etiquette of the
high station to which he was called, but he
had no purpose to DO more than this, and
certainly no intention to wound or displease
those with whom he had so long been a
friend. 1t may be that these friends have
been a trihe unreasonable, and did not recog-
nize as they should the obligations the presi-

like other men not hampered by the cares
and exactions of high official station.

John Howard Payne wandered over the

without home. How pathetic all this is,
especially to people wandering over a con-

would have much rejoiced the hearts of his
poor creditors. But that is nothing. He suf-
