WASHINGTON, Nov. ia Pennsyl-
vania democratic politician said to-day
that Randall will haye the vote of his
delegation from first to last for the speak
ership contest, and expects also the men,
bers from the South Atlantic States and
Louisiana. He maintains that Mr.. Ran
dall's frienes are satisfied that the bulk
Of Carlisle's strength will be confined to
the southeast, and that if the rumor is
true the managers are trying to bring
about a coalition with Carlisle, they will
have difficulty in making delivery;

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. lI.-Wild rumors
were circulated in the city this afternoon
about great loss of life at East Buffalo.
caused by the demolition of building
by the gale which was prevailing here.
Investigation shows that large four
story frame structure being built in Will
liam street for cooper shop, had been
struck by powerful gust and collapsed,
burying the workman in the ruins. The
streets we're soon alive with people, who
gazed, terrorstricken, at the mass of de-
bris from which issued the groans of the
dying and injured, ambulances, phys
icians and policeman quickly arrived.
The police assisted by some citizens be-
gan searching the ruins. The bodies of
three carpenters-William Eckert, John
Otto and Joseph Grodel-were recovered.
They mad been instantly killed. The
foreman, Jacob Schendahl, was found
with his back broken. He died in great
agony at his home an hour later. His
wife swooned away when her dying hus-
band was brought in, and her life for a
while was despired Of Charles Finner
had his jaw broken and received other
injuries, from which he will die. The
seven other workmen we're badly hurt.
They were taken to the hospital. There
were twenty men at work and eight had
left the structure few minutes before
the collapse. Damage trifing.
New YORK, Nov. 11.-About thou
sand members of the Grand Army of the
Republic rendered General Sherman an
informal reception. General Henry A.
Barnum presided, and General Sherman
made long address. After thanking
his old comrades for their hearty well
come, he said he had responded to the
call, although it was not customary to
celebrate ones own funeral. He would
rather meet old soldiers face to face than
any of your Vanderbilts or other nabobs.
General Sherman spoke of the war and
its results, and added:
"Since the close of the war new gen.
Grafton has sprung up. Boys not then
born are now voters. n The destiny of
the nation has been taken out of our
hands. We are now comparatively small
majority. It is well, however, that We
| should assemble together and keep alive
the patriotism of those days, the men,
ory of hardships endured, the memory
of dear companions whose bodies lie
beneath Southern battleields. 1t is
well to tell the story of those days over
again to each other, and tell it to your
children and children's children at the
fireside, that we may know how the
country was saved, aud who saved it.
| At one time doubted the advisability
of forming or keeping up such an organ
ization as the Grand Army of the Re-
public, but now am convinced that you
did we'll in organizing such an associa-
tion."
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-There is excel
lent authority for saying that Folger has
been offered the English mission, and
has declined. This is conclusive proo1
that the president is desirous Of getting
rid of Folger, if he can only find place
pleasing to the secretary. 1t is said by
the politicians to-day that Folger is him
self a presidential candidate, and that is
the reason he declined to 60 to England
This can hardly be the reason. Folger':
experience in trying to carry New Yorl
state ought to be enough to satisfy hin
as to his presidential availability, but al
one of the irreverent politicians put it
"Folger has presidential pains, and tha
is another reason why he should be on
of the cabinet"
