PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. "a special from
Pottsville this morning says an engine crew on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, while passing Tren-
ton, mining place near Delano, discovered q
house on fire and gave the alarm. Neighbors
rushed out, but it seemed impossible to arouse
the occupants of the burning building. Just
before the blazing roof fell in the head of the
family was seen at a window with child which
he dropped upon the ground. He returned to
save Others but was not again seen. The flames
spread with great rapidity, famed by furious
breeze, and in short time three adjoining
houses were burned. In the house in which the
fire started six parsons lost their lives. Frank
Ferrill and wife, daughter and two sons and a
young boarder named James Fitzgerald. The
child saved is years of age. Ihe bodies OF
four of the victims have been recovered.

A Visit With Grinnell.

MeSSre. beEt OIdSS, OsCAi "dIu ouu OuaIAAe
Rust returned Tuesday from five weeks
hunt in the upper country and report very
successful trip. Through the courtesy Of Mr..
Bragg the TRIBUNE is enabled to state author;
lively that Grinnell is still living and fears no
harm at the hsads of the horse thieves. The
TR1RuNE's informant was at Grinnell's place
over week, and was told by that gentleman
that he had twenty-five men at work for him
and has fifty horses, the largest number he has
ever had at any one time. Grinnel( was ex-
pecting the vigilantes, who are examining all
stock in that country, and had no fears con
Bismarckers met the vigilantes between Knife
river and the Slides. The necktie managers
we're on their way to Grinnell's. They were
seventeen in number and were under the
leadership of Flapper Bill, or Bill Contrell.
The hunters were "held up" and questioned,
Berthold, was taken by the vigilantes. Farr had
been operating ferry across the Missouri at the
mouth of Knife river and had carried horse
thieves. He was taken for some distance and
released. The vigilantes said they were en-
route to GrinRell's place. Mr.. Bragg said that
that Gardapee was hung. When seen, the cow
boys or vigilantes bad two prisoners, one being
"The Kid" who has broken iail in Montana
twice. They took man named La Page, whom
they held at Berthold few days, up the hills,
were gone two days and came back without
10 fhak hox him
They also took Club~footed Wilson, who stole
some horses at Stanton and was captured near
Victoria, and for whose capture a reward had
been offered. The ecowboys went to Stanton and
demanded the reward, which was refused.
They then went away, taking Wilson
with them, and he has not been seen since.
As for Grinnell, he il engaged on his ranch
with as much interest and zeal az ever, and
the vigilantes will undoubtedly be entertained
at bis place in proper style. He is irrigating
his farm and hopes to hold GAO acres under the
desert act. 4Ee extended hearty welcome to
the hunters and told them that anyone visiting
his place will receive hearty welcome.
In this respect the following from Sundays
Pioneer Press will be read with interest:
Travellers over that weary waste of way be
tween Bismarck and Fort Buford will be 10th
to believe that Grinnell, proprietor of the com
modious and we'll appointed ranch sixty miles
from Bnford. is . horse thief aud william or
harborer of criminals. Acts and appearances
are against the supposition. and Grinnell's
pleasant hospitality is none the less kindly in
recollection because it was fo- moderate con-
sideration. Grinnell don't have to steal horres
for living. He has q large tract under cul-
tivation, and larger over which range valuable
herds. In 1881 he told me he had raised
$50 600 bushels of oats the year before, and
sold all he could spare to the government for
use of the cavalry horses at Buford. OF course,
his ranch and its concomitant saloon entertain
other than angels, but maybe it is uuswares.

ACCORDING to the LeBeau Leader the
Indians are wild with excitement over
recent discoveries of coal and coal oil,
they themselves have made on stream
flowing into Moreau river from the
north. They expect to receive "blg
money" from the "Great Father at
Washington for giving up tue land. It
is well known that the coal is there, and
that railroads will extend their lines to it
next season if possible. The coal oil
found is Of SO good a quality that the In
dians are burning it in their lamps. This
is another bonanza for Dakota We fear
that McKenzie's New Orleans exhibit of
''the capabilities Of Dakota, does not in
clude coal and oil specimens of which
the territory is SO prolific.

Now that the campaign is over, as if
to help out in the dull times for news,
great many personal "reminiscences of
the late presidential candidates are COM
ing to the surface. A Kansas City man
has had an interview with man who
has known st. John all his life and finds
him to be one of the most dangerous
men in Kansas. In answer to the ques-
ton ttDoes he arm himself?" the friend
said: "Oh. no; that is not necessary.
He has the strength of giant and can
fight like Turk when the occasion re-
requires. When he was young man
he was famous for his strength, and in
later years he has retained great deal
of it. There are not six men in this town
who could handle him unarmed. When
he was about twenty he Travelled with
old John Robinson's circus as a bareback
rider and heavy litter. I have seen st.
John in the sawdust ring, dressed in
gaudy tights, rolling hollow cannon
ball down his arm, and tugging with a
MASSIVE painted wooden dumb-bell sup
posed to weigh ton or two. He drifted
from the circus business ont west, where
he soon became one of the toughest OF
the tough. He fought Indians and fol-
lowed the life of scout and trapper for
several years. During this time he had
some experience that would have orna-
mented the pages between the yellow
backs of dime novel. On one occasion
he was chased by Indians three days and
killed dozen of them, but the villains
still pursued him. He next bobbed up
as blooming politician. where his ex-
perience fighting Indians proved valu-
able to him."

FROM the descriptions, the new CAPT.
tol being built in Texas by the Illinois
syndicate will be an immense affair, only
second in size t the national capitol at
Washington. Its front will be 566 feet
and it's depth 288 feet. It will be larger
than the English parliament or the
German reichstag buildings. In height
it will be 13O feet from the basement
floor to the base of the dome, and it's
apex surmounted by lantern and sur
rounded by balconies, will be 250 feet
above the ground. The basement has
just been completed, and contains $780,
600 cubic feet of stone, besides 10000
feet of concrete. The walls are six feet
thick. The contract calls for it's COM
pletion by January l, 1888, but if granite
is substituted for limestone, which the
contract calls for, it will require more
time. The 100000 acres of land the
state pays for this vast structure, cover
ten counties, and we're valued at fifty
cents, but are now held to be worth two
dollars an acre.

A Cane Ru.h At Dartmouth.

HANOVER, N H., Nov. 12.-The trustees and faculty of Dartmouth college earnestly requested the sophomores and freshmen classes early this fall to abstain from the usual cane rush and the freshmen voted to comply with the wishes of the authorities. This afternoon, however, an old-time cane rush occurred The freshmen were coming from having their class picture taken dressed in their Sunday best and two of the boldest were carrying canes, the first time any fresh men had appeared in public with canes this term. The sophomores promptly attacked them in the street in front of the Dartmouth Hotel and a lively scrimmage followed. One of the canes proved to be pine broomstiek and soon broke in two pieces so that instead of one rush as is usual there were three in progress at the same time. The sophomorss soon lost the whole cane and half of the other and the fight centered around the remaining piece. The sophomores' objective point was Reed Hall, while the freshmen rushed toward the gymnasium; Slowly but surely the sophomores decided the contest in
 their favor and the stick worked down past
 the tsgym" and up the street toward Reed,
 the stronghold of the seniors, into the door
 of which it vanished in twenty minutes after
 the riot commenced, leaving the freshmen
 beaten and disconsolate outside. As
 about seventy-fve men contested on
 each side and a large number of sen
 iors and juniors were actively engaged in
 backing them up the contest was hot and ex- citing. At the close of the fight the fresh mems new clothes were badly mangled and
 the s'sophs" were not much better off. Some of the contestants came out naked to the | waist. Nobody was seriously injured and l the classes had the best of feeling at the end. 1 The freshmen may now carry canes in peace.

MiII Hands out On Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-Most of the weavers formerly employed at the mills of Clarke & Keene, woollen goods, who struck on account of ten per cent. reduction, at
 tended meeting this morning at Front and Harrison streets The situation was thor oughly discussed and it was resolved to stay away from the mill and not to interfere with any new hands finding employment there. The Standard mills of James Dock & Co. started with full complement of hands this morning. In all the rooms a new price list "a reduction of from 10 to 25 per cent.-was posted up and the hands invited to study the same. The firm expects that when the men who had pieces on their looms when the mills shut down have finished them that some of them will quit under the. ..new prices. The weavers say every man will will go out when his piece is finished and they seem severe in denouncing the firm of James Dock & Co.

Twenty.two Wards Finished fl
 RP0nkIVn

BROOKLYN, Nov. 12.-The county can vassers of Kings county resumed their work at 9 o'clock this morning. There was large gathering of interested spectators present. Counsellors Tenny, Tracy and Elliot watched the canvass for the Republican general com mittee and Dewitt, Pearsall and Brown for the Democrats. The canvassers having com pleted the Sixth ward last night took up the Seventh this morning. The official count of twenty-two wards shows a gain of thirty nine for Cleveland and two for Blaine. No frauds have been discovered. In the Eight eenth ward it was discovered that William Blanchfeld, Democrat, had been elected su- pervisor instead of the Republican candidate. Oswald Ottendorfer and Eugene Kelley were found to have been iberally scratched on the Democratic electoral ticket, while the Re publican ticket showed no scratches. The result so far shows a net gain of 24 votes for Cleveland. The canvass will probably be completed tomorrow night except as regards clerical corrections.
