THE UNITED STATES HOTEL.
The Bodies Of Two More Victims Recovered
Bad Condition Of the Building.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The dead body Of
Addie Fletcher (colored), head chambermaid,
was recovered from the ruins OF the United
States Hotel this morning tits now believed but
one victim remains to be found. This is Henry
Holt tcolored). The main part of the hotel, that
fronts on Pennsylvania avenue is intact, but
under guardianship of the police. AS large a
force OF laborers as can be advantageously en-
ployed are at work overhauling and removing
the debris. The wide cracks IN the rear walls of
that portion of the building which remains
standing make the work of the laborers one Of
danger.
The body of young Hall was recovered this
afternoon. Many people, last night and this
morning, asserted that complaints had long since
been made of the unsafe condition of the build
ing; that the servants occupying the rear por-
ton had been in constant dread, and that work
men engaged in making repairs, and others, had
frequently declared a collapse imminent. On
Friday the bar-keeper sent a complaint to the
inspectorof buildings that the rear walls were
caving and unsafe. This report was received on
Saturday and referred to an assistant, who had
not reported. The back building adjoining
had been recently found to be in bad
condition by Health Inspector Dickson. An ex-
animation Of the debris shows that nearly every
brick taken out is almost entirely free from
mortar, which would indicate that dirt and sand,
instead of mortar had been used in the brick
work. Altogether the back building of the
United States Hotel was the worst constructed
house to be found anywhere. If the accident
had happened one hour earlier, there is no tell
ing how many lives would have been lost, as
between forty and fifty guests were atthat time
taking supper in the dining-room. " was found
necessary, to-day, to pull down the walls of
Browning's coffee mills, which adjoin the hotel,
and were badly injured BY the crash last night.

THE JULIA BAKER.
Testimony Showing that the Master Was
Poisoned by the Mate and Steward.


KEY WEST, Aug. 4-Mate Walker, of the
Julia Baker, who has been personating Captain
Lewis, the dead master of that vessel, was to
day arraigned before Commissioners Locke on
charge of running away with the vessel and dis
posing of the cargo. The testimony proved that
the master was sick when the vessel sailed, and
continued so for six days. On the sixth day the
man at the wheel saw the captain fall from his
chair in the cabin. He was picked up by the
mate and steward and laid on a mattress ON
the cabin floor; they then administered some
thing to him from a bottle, and the master died
in a few minutes. The mate Immediately
changed the vessels course so as to reach the
Bahama Islands; she was originally bound for
Trinidad. Having arrived at Fortune Island,
the mate sold the deck load of lumber. He then
went to Inagua. where he sold some -four and
bread. The vessel was then taken to an unin-
habited island, where she met a small schooner;
the meeting had probably been arranged at
lnagda. The latter vessel took on
board 100 barrels of -four and departed. Mate
Walker going with her. Walker returned with
her in five days. He gave the schooeer twenty
barrels for her service, and she. left. The
steward ran away in her, jumping on board over
the Julia Bakers stern. The latter came di-
rectly to this port, where the remainder of her
cargo of -four was offered for sale at So per bar
rel. Walker was held in So, 000 bonds for trial at
the November term of court.

Boyoottlng in Politlcs.

indianapolis News.
Our sympathy is with the New York Tribune
in its fight against the typographical union. The
Tribune must certainly be conceded the right to
do what it will with its own, as unreservedlv as
the printers have the right to order their affairs
without restriction. We should resent any at
tempt on the part of tine Tribune to induce the
publishing houses to boycott all union printers,
just as we resent the attempt by the printers to
induce its friends to boycott the Tribune.
That is atyrannical dragooning Of personal---very.
and fair play, entirely foreign to America, and
will not succeed. A peculiarly s~enseless feature
in the affair is the effort of the printers to hold
the Republican party responsible forthe Tribune's
actions because that paper sees fit to advocate the
Republican cause. This is stretching tyrannical
domination to a degree that doesn't exist outside
of Russia, and has a mighty hard time to exist
there.

NxwALBANY, Aug. 3-The week closed with
the organization Of three Blaine and Logan
clubs in this county. all of which were numer-
ously attended. and at which much enthusiasm
prevailed. The Democrats advertised largely a
call to organize a Cleveland club; and on last
Wednesday night eighty-two solemn-visaged
men and boys gathered in the courthouse, and
after funeral o~rations by two lawyers a club
was declared organized, eighteen of those pres
ent having signed the roll. Last night the
Young Republicans met at the courthouse, and
after being addressed by Hon. A. E. Wilson, of
Louisville, a club was organized with eighty-ive
members Some Of the best young men In the
city stepped up and put down their names
Next week promises as much activity.
The colored men will organize and the glass
blowers connected with DePauw's glass works
will organize a uniformeded club, andraise q pole
two hundred feet high, on the top OF which Will
be placed a stuffed coon and atwenty-foot broom.
There is great desire to have Calkins down this
and work is CONSERVED the Republicans have q
decided advantage over the Democrats, and we
confidently expect to make gains, notwith-
standing the importations from Kentucky.
A Blaine and Logan club, composed of the most
earnest workers in the party, was organized al
the district school house at Georgetown last
night. 1t is proposed to hold weekly meetings
during the campaign, and work for the success
of Blaine and Logan until the polls are
closed.
On Saturday night there was a regular love
feast of Republicans at Slate Run, without any
great effort. Nearly every Republican in the
precinct met at the schoolhouse and organized
a Blaine and Logan club, the largest ever formed
there. Steps were taken to organize a glee club
of young ladies aud gentlemen.

Correspondence of the Indian apolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 2-The Democrats ratified
to-day. Messrs Robert Myers and Frank Hord
addressed the meeting. The people expected to
hear something new, but the same old song of
fraud and corruption, and I'VE need a change
rang in their ears. The issues were not touched
upon, it being a little early yet, and the gentle
men may not have received their instructions.
There was one thing clearly demonstrated by
Mr.. Myers. who dwelt largely upon the necessity
Of a change. when he said what a turning out
of offices there would be after March 4, 1885.
There were not over 300 persons present, two
thirds of whom we're women and children, and
one-fourth of the remainder are Republicans.
When three cheers we're proposed for Cleveland
and Hendricks only one voice responded. Con-
siderable effort was made to have this meeting a
success, but it proved such a failure that the
chairman Of the central committee seriously
thinks of resigning his Craftsmanship, and also of
Withdrawing from the race for Representative.

United States at more eastern ports. The laws
of the Dominion of Canada do not permit i'm
portation of distilled spirits in packages Of less
capacity than 100 gallons, and as domestic spir-
its are put up in packages of less than that size,
the foreign custom house certificate necessary to
cancel the export bond could not be procured.
Instructions have accordingly been issued to re-
fuse bond and clearance in such cases, and in the
event the spirits may have gone across the Dor
der. the c~ustom-house officers are instructed to
hold them on arrival, and turn them over to the
proper officer of the internal revenue for pay
ment of taxes.

I think ] scared Mrs. Hendricks a little, brave
woman as she is, when | called her the chaperone
Of the ticket, and reminded her how arduous her
duties in the capacity of chaperone to a young
unmarried President would be if the Democrats
elected their nominees. She knows Washington
well enough to feel certain that IN such a contin-
gency she, as first lady will have a post which
will be far from being a sinecure. But like her
husband, Mrs Hendricks is always willing to
make a sacrifice of her personal convenience for
the good of the party.

Lo~GANsPoRT, Aug. 4.-The Democratic county
convention, which was held on Saturday, was
largely attended, but the party is far from salts
fed with its work. DR.. Loop was nominated for
representative, Charles Fisk for clerk, Anthony
Grusemeyer for treasurer, James Stanley for
sheriff, and M D. Fansler for prosecuting attor-
uey. The ticket is made up of chronic Office
seekers, and is weak in other respects. The
Irish were snubbed throughout, and will be
heard from during the campaign. Although
this county is three hundred Democratic, the
Republicans expect to put a ticket in the field
that will divide the Offices.

How the Democracy Treat the Irish.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Aug. 1.-The Democratic con-
vention for the purpose Of nominating a joint
representative from the counties Of Hancock
Henry and Madison, met at Anderson on the
second. Nj. William Murphy, one Of the most
prominent Catholic Irishmen in Hancock county,
and a man well qualified to fill the Office of rep
preventative, was, through his friends placed in
nomination, and yet with a large Irish vote in
this county, that has stood steadfastly by
the Democratic party in every contest, Mr.
Murphy's friends, were able to secure for him
Eve votes from this county, out of twenty-five;
and when the prospects looked bright for his
Homination by the votes from the other coun-
ties composing the district. the ring from this
county at once changed the five votes they had
given for Mr.. Murphy to W. S.. Dentow, and by
the change thus made from Murphy to Dentow,
defeated an Irishman.

POWDER KICKERS.

The Royal Baking Powder Company is still making enc
mics among those who are manufacturing and selling impure
articles for leayening purposes (and their name is legion) and
this fact shows that it is continuing its vigorous work in the in
terests of the public.
This Company set out some time ago to expose the char
acter, and, 50 far as possible, to break up the sale of adulterated
baking powders. Having found from an examination Of a num-
Der of specimens procured from grocers that they were generally
Of an inferior character, some devoid of all leavening properties
and many of them actually poisonous, it brought the matterbe
fore the public, denounced the makers by name in the press and
to the health authorities.
The affair was speedily taken up by physicians, Boards Of
Health, and Legislatures throughout the country; chemists we're
employed to make scientific tests of the various powders in the
market, and the Government itself directed analyses to be made
before it would purchase the supplies needed for army, navy,
and Indian uses.
The result more than justified the charges so boldly made
by the Royal Company. Not only were the majority ~ofbaking
powders in the market found to be largely adulterated, but
many of them were ascertained to contain lime, alum, and other
poisonous ingredients to such an extent as to render them posi-
lively unsafe for use in human food. The Information spread
throughout the country and created a profound sensation. AS
a result many Of these injurious mixtures were driven out Of the
market, and the sale of all of them seriously interfered with.
No occurrence Of recent date has been so far~reaching as
this in it's beneficial influence upon the public health, and the
action of the Royal Baking Powder Company in the inalgura-
ton Of such a warfare, and in carrying it forward with such i'm
portant results, was universally commented upon and appreci-
ated. In making the charges, they did not hesitate to enter
into competition with every other baking powder in the country
and til a public satisfaction that, in all the tests and analyses
made, the Royal Baking Powder was placed at the head of the
list, and declared by Boards Of Health and BY the Government
chemists, Drs. Mott and Love, to be superior to all others in
strength, and absolutely pure and free from all inferior sub
stances.
In continuing this warfare against the adulterated food,
more particularly the alum, lime, and otherwise impure and in
fenor baking powders, which INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers are
endeavoring to force upon the market in this locality, the Royal
will undoubtedly meet with the old-time opposition and abuse.
We are confident, however, that the public will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object Of the "stop thief" cry and the work
of the Royal Company in its attempts to protect it and to rid
the market Of these dangerous articles Of food.

Brutal and Dastardly Abuse.

Thomas A. Hendricks is making an earnest
effort to convince people that he was an intimate
and dear friend of Abraham Lincoln. While we
are prepared to believe that, upon the heels of
his brutal and dastardly abuse, Hendricks might
seek to curry favor with Lincoln when he saw
the confederate snap defeated, we do not believe
Lincoln was the man to take into his friendship
a person who had neither the patriotism to be
loyal nor the courage to openly rebel against his
country.
