Blaine's Movements.
Boston Journal.)


Mr.. Blaines headquarters are in the Marcy
mansion on Lafayette square, to which he re-
moved from his own house last fall. 1t is not
certain that he will remain there during the
convention. To those who inquire of him the
answers are not always satisfactory. During
the two last Presidential Conventions Mr..
Blaine had private wire in his house, bnt
this year no private wire has been extended to
his house. The telegraph officials say that no
wire has been placed in the house of any OF
the candidates. One was offered to Blaine and
was refused. There are reports that Mr.
Blaine will leave for Augusta quietly Friday
or Saturday, and that from that point he will
be in close communication with his managers
in Chicago, without the interruptions and de-
mands upon his time which would be unavoid-
able here. To friend who called upon him
and asked for some opinions as to the Chicago
Convention. Mr.. Blaine pleasantly said that
he was confident that the ticket would be Til
den and Carlisle. This was frank answer
although 1t was not the answer that the in
quirer had expected. But Mr., Blaine was
quite willing to express the opinion that the
old ticket would not be nominated, at least at
one Chicago convention; beyond that Mr.
Blaine has nothing to say, except that he has
done nothing to secure the nomination, and
does not intend to do anything. He said re-
Gently that he had not so much as lifted his
little finger to secure single DELEGATE. There
are reports Of an alliance between some OF the
friends of Blaine and Logan, without the
knowledge of their principals. The story is
that some OF the Logan men have agreed to
vote for three or five ballots for Blaine IN re-
turn for a similar number of votes, in the
event that Blaine shall not be nominated. 1t
is the concurrent testimony of the most ex-
perienced observers that mono Of the candi-
dates will be able to transfer their strength, as
has been possible on former occasions.

A Bloodguilty State.

NNAnhAAptu OOuIdutsl
The death by his own hand Of the unhap-
~ Judge Reid has startled even Kentucky
into monetary thoughtfulness and self-ex-
animation. The blows Taiued upon his head
by his brother in the Campbellte church,
Lawyer CornellsOn, may have hurt his brain,
but the cold faces and harsh words Of his
neighbors hurt his heart. He had been
struck and be had not taken, or tried 10 take
the life of the man who struck him. Instead,
he had publicly declared that as an elder
in the Christian church and a Judge sworn
to uphold the law he did not feel himself at
liberty to shed blood in private quarrel. 1t
was strange, pathetic appeal he made to
his neighbors for sympathy and approval

and only one was open to him. He took it.

Mr.. Reed had made fer himself an enviabl

this State of honest and pardonable pride, that
the superior talents and influence of her repre-

have no doubt they will in the future. 1t is no
longer matter between them and Mr.. Reed
but one between them and the Republicans OF
the rest OF the district. They all went into
convention to nominate candidate to be sup

abide by the result. Without this understand

believe that the Republicans who sent the

DEATH IN A TUNNEL.
Terrible Accident on a Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
EIGHT MEN KILLED AND FIVE
OTHERS INJURED.

LIGoNIA, Va, May 29.-Knupp's Tunnel; on the
South Pennsylvania Railroad, was the scene of a
terrible accident by which nine men were instantly
killed and eleven others seriously injured, with
slight hopes of their recovery. A large force Of
men was employed in excavating the tunnel about
100 feet from the main entrance, when a heavy
scatfolding gave way with the above result. 1t is
said that he victims were principally Italians. The
bodies have all been recovered and coroner's in
quest will be held. Great excitement prevails at
the scene of the disaster. ~
The underground work of the tunnel began yes
terday. The covering was of limestone and the
roof was tmbered over as the work progressed. It
was thought to be secure but the rocky sides and
covering split and came down with such force as
to crush the heavy timbers and precipitate huge
mass OF earth on the unfortunate men below. Ali
available force put to work at once in digging
out the crushed remains Of the victims.
The scene was heartrenuiBg as the mangled
bodies were brought out. Six were killed outright
and two have since died. Five others were serious
ly injured. The men killed were all foreigners

Cinnamon in a New York Church,
m V Tirnae

About 900 Mongolians, varying In ages
from II to 80 sat in the Broadway Taberna-
Gle last evening, and took part In the first
anniversary entertainment of Chinese Sun
day schools connected with the churches OF
New York and Brooklyn, under the auspices
OF the Chinese Sunday-school Union. The
Tabernacle was red with flags. Cinnamon
wearing the commonest garbs of their coun-
try and Cinnamon decked out in the latest
New York fashions met the eye in all direc-
tons. They sat among the audience, which
numbered about $3.50, and select hundred
occupied the platform and constituted the
choir. The Chinese consul, Au Yang Ming,
entered late In the evening amid tumultu-
GUS applause. He wore an indigo tunic,
through which the white "cheung shan" or
enlargement, was seen. His shirt was Of
gray, and silky pig-tail of great length
noa'ed IN the air as he walked along. His
little boy, II years old, and rejoiciug in the
name OF Nam Ouyang, accompanied him.
Fhs child, who has a strikiDgly intelligent
ace, wore his HAIR in LaugtrY knot. All
the Chinese took part in the proceedings
with eager attention and seemed to enjoy
them immensely, singing the hymns in loud,

in the prayers with apparent devotion. At
ter prayer had been offered by the
Rev. Dr. j. r. Kerr, an address in English
was made BY Chu NJ. Seung. He spoke good
English, and there was not the least Official
" in understanding every word. A series
of readings were then heard. These we're

cent read first. 1t was hard to detect by the

EmbexzIement by Clerk i'm she Post Once
Department.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-When the employees of
the post Office department went to the office of the
discussing officer this morning to receive their
months salary they found tile doors closed and the
pay notices removed. 1t was soon learned that the
post office inspectors examining the accounts
of j. Q. P. Burnside, superintendent of the post
once building and disbursIug clerk. The result of
inns examination showed a shortage of about $45,.
600. His accounts have not been fully audit ed by
the treasury department since June 80, 1881 and
IL Is probable that the misappropriaton has occurred
from time to time soee that date. The Postmaster
General dismissed him from Office and caused him to
be ousted and proceedings TO be instituted for en-
bezzlement.
1t is stated that Burnside was a frequent inyes-
tor in oil syndidates conducted by the broker Lewis
who recently absconded, and that he lost heavily in
such ventures. His salary was only $2l00 per an
mum, and he was said to maintain extensive pri-
waite establishment. This might perhaps have ex-
cited suspicion but for his statement that his wife
was In receipt of a large private income. The
amount OF his bond is $50 000 and his eureties are
