yard of the City Compress, occupying the block of ground immediately adjoining the
 elevator, caught fire and was consumed. A strong breeze blew from the southeast and
 the heat from the burning district was fright
 ful. At hslf-psst twelve o'clock the elevator
 fell with crash. The brick building ad- joining 1t, occupied by sinlzer, Davis & Co.,,
 containing boilers and engines, is also to-
 tai loss. The flames rapidly spread and soon the five thousand bales of cotton around the City Compress caught, and were being rapidly burned. At quarter to one o'clock the fire caught and wiped out the electric light works and livery stables. The elevator contained wheat and oats to the amount of thirty thousand bushels, all of which was destroyed. There are also about fifteen thousand bales of cotton consumed. Promi. nent insurance men estimate the loss at $1, 900, 900 and the insurance at S75O, 900. Of course this is merely guess work, as nothing definite can be obtained. Business is almost suspended, and the whole town is excited

A Reckless Engtneer-Hfs Runaway En- zine Jumps the Track at @ sharp Carve.
 CHICAGO, Oct. "A passenger car on the Chicago and Austin dummy railroad, con- peting line with the Northwestern road for suburban travel, jumped the rails at a sharp curve while going at a high rate of speed this evening. The car rolled over in the ditch amid the screams of the imprisoned oc- cupants nearly all of whom were more or less cut and bruised. Mir. Cooke of 637 Car roll avenue was crushed to death beneath the car Mr. Hittof of Oak Park received inter- nal injuries that will probably prove fatal. Mrs. Bush of A Sheldon street was seriously bruised about the limbs and head. Mrs. Walters of Vanburen street will be perma- nently disabled Many lawsuits for damage are likely to grow out of the accident which resulted from the recklessness of the engi- neer.

Butler Repudiated - The Independent
 Democrats IndOrse the Republican
 Nominee.
 BOSTON, Oct. "A fully attended meeting of independents was held here yesterday af- ternoon, Colonel Theodore Lyman presiding. No nominations were made, but after several speeches had been made the following ad- dress was adopted:
 As independent voters of Massachusetts, while we recognize that the records and char acter of candidates are proper subjects for political discussion, we cannot but regret tendency in the present contest to overlook principles, of which candidates are only the opponents, and since neither party has adopt ed clear and defined platform, we make the following statement of our belief: ''We be- ieve that appointments in subordinate off, oes, whether national, State or municipal, should be made for merit, sscertained by competitive examination open to all applicants, regardless of party affiliations, and laws which prescribe fixed term for such offices should be repealed. We demand the immediate repeal of the law which con- pels the continued coinage of the present silver dollar We condemn the increasing use of money in political campaigns and the tendency of both parties to nominate candi- dates on account of their wealth. We be- lieve in full and frequent investigation of all official departments and public institutions, and in the exposure and the reform of all abuses, without regard to the individual or the party on whom the responsibility may rest But we condemn such investigation when undertaken for the purpose of making political capital, when prosecuted without reference to proved facts and when conducted in 8 manner which sets at defiance the decencies of civilized life. We believe that every safeguard should be thrown around the ballot box, and that any attempt to interfere with the honest count of the votes cast should be emphatical- ly condemned by every good citizen. While holding these views we deem it unwise at the present iuncture to nominate candidate for Governor, and we recommend those who sympathize with us to support the Republi- can candidate, recognizing in George D. Rob- inson integrity of character and unquestion- ed ability, which give better promise of good government than the vicious methods and personal ambition of Benjamin F. Butler. But we feel it our duty to withhold our sup port from the Republican candidate for Lieu tenant Governor, regarding his renomination as unworthy of the approval of those who wish to condemn the present Executive and all which he represents.

Etendish Act-ExpIOdinE s Dynamite
 Cartridge i'm an Occupied Dwelling
 House.
 PAwL1NG, Oct IA diabolic attempt to murder several persons occurred near this village Friday night. Last Sunday night Cyrus Stark, of this place, lost some cattle. day or two ago he received an anonymous note saying that three men named John B.
 Griffin, s. B. Miller and George Mulkins had
 taken them. By some means the three men named heard of this anonymous note and vowed vengeance against the reputed sender. Three miles west of PawliEg is 8 two story frame house rented by John A. Beach. h
 this house Friday evening were Gilbert Mil
 Ter and his wife, John A. Beach, his wife and infant Samuel Graner and an old man named E. M. Beach, wife and child. The last named occupied the first floor, which comprised large room and bedroom. Al
 six o'clock last evening s. B. Miller appear
 cd in the yard and told Phoebe Miller that she must look out, as there was going to be an awful affair for Griffin and his compan.
 ions meant to get square with Anna Beach
 for telling who stole the cattle.
 As -pA56 O U C4OSh BUILD p0EbOA bAE0~ d dynamite cartridge through the window of the room occupied by Beach. with 8 fuse at- tached. In the room at the time were Mrs.
 Beach and baby in bed, John A. Beach and Samuel Graner. The fuse was too short to allow it to be seized and thrown out. Gra- ner grasped double-barrelled gun, cooked it and started for the door, and the cartridge,
 which fell upon table near the window, ex-
 ploded just as he was about to open it. Ora
 ner exclaimed, ''I sees John B. Griffin, but l
 can't pull the trigger" as he dropped to the floor covered with blood, the cartridge having blown pieces of pan and pail, which rested
 on the table, into his body. It destroyed every window on the 6oor, tore down the greater part of the ceiling and split the floor timbers underneath Mrs. Beach had got out of bed with her infant in her arms and both were knocked down and stunned, while John A. Beach was blown from ths main room into the bedroom, where he was found hanging out of the bedroom window. All the inmates of the house say
 that they distinctly saw John B. Griffin and 1 two other men with him. One of the in | mates says he saw s. B. Miller with 8 gun | and another says he SAW three men hur rying away before the explosion. The mar l Graner lay ali night without medical at {; tendance, as the people of Pawling did no 1 know of the affair until yesterday morning i Dr. Pearse then went to the scene.

In ad- dressing them he said that the temporal pow CT of the Vatican was absolutely necessary to the stability of the Catholic religion The remarks of the Holy Father created such en thusiasm among his hearers as to cause some of them to shout, 'tLong Live the Pope the King,' while others cried, Down with King Humbert" These latter cries were, however, quickly suppressed by the papal gendarmes in attendance. The Pope has scarcely recov cred from his recent illness and looks hag- gard and careworn.
