The Washington Hotel Disaster.

John Burroughs the superintendent of streets,
put force of fifty laborers at work at day break
yesterday morning removing the debris of the
collapsed United States Hotel, in Washington
After the removal OF Hannah Dickson and Charles
Hall at 2 q. m. no more voices had been heard
from under the wreck, and it was conceded that
any person who was still under the immense mass
was beyond hope of rescue. The aim of the work
men was to reach the laundry in which
Adde Fletcher was believed to be buried, and at
IL q. m. this was accomplished, and the lifeless
and terribly mutilated body removed to neigh
boring undertaking establishment. Henry Halls
body the last Of the victims, was removed at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon crushed beneath
network of heavy tinibers and terribly disfgured
This body was also removed to an adjoining I'm.
dertakers establishment. The three persons
removed alive and taken to Providence Hospital
were better yesterday. and there was q chance for
the recovery of all, Mrs. Bedding being the only
one about whom there was serious apprehension.
Later in the afternoon parrot the property of
MT Belding. the proprietor of the hotel was taken
from the ruins alive. Although it had been i'm
prisoned for about twenty hours, it was quite
lively when discovered, and bit ssvsgely at the
man who took it out, drawing blood from his
finger. The parrot is good talker, and his first
salutation to the workman when found was go
away and stop, Pm tired" When taken to its
owner, the latter asked: "Pollv, how are You ?"
to which the bird replied "All right but thirsty"
A coroner's jury was empannelled last night and
after viewing the bodies of Henry Hall and Addie
Fletcher, adjourned until this morning.

RENDERED recklessly desperate by the
rising tide of reawakened popular displeas-
ure which is to efface all of him from the
public mind except his unpleasant memory,
General Malone, through his home and
personal organ, rants and raves like wild
man. He thus says:
"We declare solemnly that with every in
creased hope of democratic national success,
the situation at the South has grown worse
and worse, until day Virginia, which
once denounced Mississippi plans and South
Carolina methods, has become prey to the
bulldozer. with the bullet master of the
ballot. With democratic President and
Congress, the South will be chartered and
licensed bourbon hell, with oil the land sub
iected to bourbon insolence and vengeance.
Elect Cleveland aud Hendricks, aud we
shall have entered upon the last act which
will hurry the republic to its grand catas-
trophe."
Nothing could better show the urgent
necessity for an immediate obliteration of
the few remaining vestiges of Mahoneism
in Virginia.

that he will be nominated for reelection

Two OF the States in which elections take
place before the Presidential election, Ala
bama and Kentucky, held their elections
Yesterday, and in both, as was expected, the
democrats elected their tickets with their
usual majorities. So will it be next Novem-
Der with all the Southern States. The
North has only to give Cleveland forty eight
votes to secure his election, and, from pres
emit indications, the republicans of that Sec
ton will give him that many if the demo-
Gratis fail to do so.

THE RICHMOND Wing now says that it
agrees with its owner, General Malone, that
the leaders of the democratic party, are as
guilty of the "bloody murder" at Danville
as if they had the blood of the victims upon
their shirt sleeves. But nobody who respects
himself or who has the respect OF others
now regards anything the Wing may say.
The Wing has long since reached the con-
dition in which the only surprise it IS capa-
BILE of exciting is that resulting from what 1t
does not say.

AMONG THE list of Blaine speakers en-
gagged for the campaign in Maine appears
the name of Col. George w. Carter. The
Colonel was SO good democrat once that
he left the ministry to fight for States rights
with carnal weapons. But that was before
he had become subject to the malign in
fueuce of federal Office holders, colored as
we'll as white. He is remembered in Vir-
einia for what he was-not for what he is.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3.
THE BLAINEITE newspapers seem to be

THE BLAINEITE newspapers seem 10 De
utterly incapable of approaching the diner
ence between the propriety OF investigating
and criticising charges against mans pub
lie character, and those respecting his prl-
yate life. Some of them are so blind to this
difference as to say that while they don't
believe the scandalous story about Governor
Cleveland's private life, his opponents are
justified in harping upon that story by rea-
son of the fact that it is human nature to
oppose o man for whom superior excellence
ia claimed by his friends. But the excel
lence referred to applies only to Governor
Cleyeland's public life-to the facts that
having, as Mayor, reformed Buffalo, and as
Governor, reformed New York, the natural
inference is that as President he would re-
form the national government, and establish
honesty where fraud and corruption have
lately held almost undisputed sway. The
published charges against Mr.. Blaine relate
to his acts as Speaker of the United States
House of Representatives, and which have
been the subject of Congressional investiga-
ton. Now that he is a candidate for the
highest office in the country, that those
charges should be examined and criticised
is not only proper but is imperatively de-
manded; as man who would sell his in
fuence as Speaker would rot hesitate to
sell it as President, and none can estimate
the general danger Of the latter sale. The
charge against Governor Cleveland, on the
contrary, does not refer TO his public life,
which even his enemies concede has been
without fear and without reproach, but re-
lates to an alleged private scandal, when he
was young man, aud which, even if true,
would have no conceivable bearing upon
the manner in which he would execute his
high trust as President of the country.

THAT IRISHMEN will vote for Mr.. Blaine
is lust as certain as that other and more
Irish men will vote for Governor Cleveland;
and it is also just as certain that the former
have as much right to vote as they IN
tend voting ~ the latter have. But 1t Is
equally as certain that when the former
base their support of Mr.. Blaine upon the
ground that the democrats haven't treated
Irishmen with due consideration, they don't
know what they are talking about. 1t was
the democrats who successfully defended
Irishmen against the proscriptive measures
directed at them by the Native Americans
and the Know Nothings. The democrats
have two born Irishmen in the United
Representatives now, and have had many
others in former years. Is there State,
municipal or county government IN the
country in which Irishmen are not repre-
sented, provided the majority of voters in
the respective communities be democrats
Why, one strong cause of republican COM
plant against democratic rule has for years
past been the prominence such rule gives to
Irishmen. American citizens born in Ire
land have as much right to vote for Mr..
Blaine as those to the manor born, but
they subject themselves 10 the charge
of culpable ignorance, or of attempt
ed wilful deception, when they assign
as the reason of their support of Know
Nothing, the defender of the mob
who tarred and feathered man because he
was an Irish Catholic priest, who said it
provoked him to be called Catholic, and
who ascribed bad government in New
York to the rule of Irishmen, the utterly
groundless and ridiculous assertion that the
democrats have not treated Irishmen with
due consideration.

YOUNG LADY FROZEN TO DEATH IN THE MORN.
TAlNS OF COLORADO
telegram from Denver. Colo, says that Miss C.
l. Welton, wealthy young lady from New York
city, persisted in a snow-Storm last Tuesday night
while descending Longs peak. Miss Melton had
been spending the season al Colorado Springs and
visiting Pixies Peak and other points OF interest
A few weeks ago she went 10 Estes PARK, stopping
at the hotel there Monday evening She walked
over TO the house of a guide named IamS living at
the foot OF Longs peak and engaged his son. nine
teen years old, who acted as her guide In ascending
the peak next morning. They safely assembled,
out encountered a fierce snow-Storm on their re
turn, during which the lady became completely
chilled Young Lamb assisted her IN the descent
the best he could, until aboGt O'Clock AT night,
When her strength entirely failed He then car.
l1ed her Tor half a mile, when finding his own
strength failing, he told her the only chance OF
saving either Oh their lives was for him 20 leave
her and go 10 his fathers house, seven miles dis
knt, for assistance. He left her al 10 O'Clock and
returned with assistance at O'Clock on Wednes-
day morning, finding the lady frozen To death.
Inc remains were taken TO longmont, aud will be
sent thence TO New York. Miss Melton was highly
reined, great lover OF nature and very sef-reli-
ant heavy snow-storm prevailed on the noun
tains last night.
The finding OF the body is thus described In a
Colorado dispatch TO the New York sun: Miss
Nelton was found stretched out I'm theosnow dead
Her features were placid. SleepineSs, the result
OF the cold, had evidently overcome her soon after
the departure OF her guide, ana She had lain down
Ia the snow bank, well knowing the fate which
would soon overtahe her. Beside her Was an IVORY
handled riding whip, with her name and place Of
residence engraved thereon, and IN her belt was a
handsomely mounted revolver. Her heavy Md
gloves had been removed. and her diamond be-
