out in the rear of the department in which
they were employed. A rush was imme-
diately made for the fire escape at the
front of the building. The upper sash of
one of the windows had been lowered and
the young women had to climb over it in
order to reach the balcony. One, in de-
scending the ladder, slipped and fell to
the pavement and was seriously injured.
Three girls were then seen to advance to
the window, and Immediately after
ward q volume of fire and

view. The fremen arrived in large force,
but the flames had already made such
violent progress that it was some time be-
fore an entrance was gained. When the
fire in the second story had been partly
subdued the bodies of the three girls

The other two were stretched upon
benches just beneath the partly open
window. Their faces were blackened
and presented a saddening sight, but the
flames had not touched their bodies.
Their names. are: Miss Annie Lynch,
aged thirty; Miss BERTHE Messmore,
aged eighteen, and Miss Polglase. 1t is
rumored that four more girls are miss
ing, but up to late hour this report has
not been verified. The loss will reach
$4,000; partly insured.

A WICKED ACT.

Alleged Attempt to Blow Up an Entire
Family In Order to VVreak Vengeance ON
One Member-One of the Outcroppings of
the Ohio Miners Strike.
COLUMBUS, o., December II.
JACKSONVILLE is terribly excited over the
attempt of an unknown person to blow up
the house of Richard Barnecutt and kill
his family, between nine and ten O'Clock
last night. The house is located on the
hillside, at the edge of town, and the in
tention seems to have been to roll the
dynamite or explosive against the house
and turn it over and
DOWN THE HILL.
But from the manner in which 1t was
rolled it missed its aim and lodged under
the porch below, where the explosion oc-
CURED, which tore the porch nearly to
shreds. The house otherwise was not
injured, and Barnecntt and wife, with
five children, escaped. The explosion was
heard all over that part of the country,
and soon several hundred people had
gathered at the scene OF intended de-
struction. The citizens are greatly eX-
cited over the occurrence, and there is
talk among them of having the town
placed under strong rule. This intorma-
ton, which was secured at the offlce OF
the Coal Exchange, says no one could be
found on the streets Immediately after
the explosion occurred, and this is taken
as Indication that some of the riotous
element among the
STRIKERS DID THE WORK.
Barnecutt, who was one of the strikers,
went to work for the Coal Exchange
one week ago last Monday, and since
that time his son has been assaulted on
the streets of the town. One of the syn
dictate operators telegraphs that he saw,
last night, several bright lights in the
direction of Jacksonville, but the opera
tor at the latter place has reported no
fires. There is another report from this
source that at an open meeting OF the
strikers yesterday they concluded to make
an attack at Happy Hollow last night, if
the weather was of favorable character,
but as nothing has been heard from that
quarter, it is supposed that nothing OF
the kind has occurred.

Open Consideration of Foreign Treaties
Affiliated.
WAsH1NGroN, D. O.. Decembel

WASHINGTON, D. O.. December II.
Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear upon Senators with the view of
having them abandon the rule which re-
quires all treaties to be considered in Sc
cret session. The claim is put forward
by merchants and others, ard it appears
to be justifable, that the practice of shut
ting out the public, especially when rev.
enuc treaties are under consideration, is
wrong, and in many instances disastrous
to business. While the resolution offered
in the Senate by Van Wyck to open the
doors on the Spanish treaty was
objected to yesterday, it is.
thought it may yet receive
favorable consideration. There is great,
deal of opposition to the Spanish treaty
in the Senate, and it is quite probable
that it may fail of ratification. A Repub
lican Senator from the West, in talking
with representative of the United Press,
to-day expressed grave doubts of the
ratification, and many others entertain
similar views. 1t is limited that Blaine.
will use his influence against it.

Ieetured in Russell Hall last night. The
Hall was packed, the audience being
mostly his opponents. Outside the hall
was mob Of about 1900 gathered. The
proceedings were constantly interrupted
and soon after the lecturer commenced,
the audience refused to let him proceed.
Men stood on the seats and window
ills, bowling derisively and yelling
whenever the speaker attempted to
make himself heard. Lamps and
benches were broken, and broken glass
was soon scattered over the hall. The
strong force of police present were I'M
able to preserve order. The lecturer
appealed to the police to clear the hall,
which they finally accomplished. A few
of Chiniquy's friends remained to pro
tect him. The mob then commenced
throwing stones through the windows
and a good deal of damage was done.
Several persons were injured. The lights
were turned out and the mob fired al

New YORK, Novemt
CRieaqO Daily Meas

Editor Chicago Daily Meas:
The total prohibition vote will aggre-
gate 2OO, 600; four years ago it was less
then II 900 and has decided the Plesi-
Dental contest in New York. Cleye-
lands majority is about 1000. Official
returns will not materially change the
figures. The prohibition vote in New
York is fully $4,000. The prohibition
vote in Allegheny, Monroe and Orleans
counties alone would have carried the
State for Blaine if cast for him. The
Prohibitionists have stood up TO be
counted and rebuked the insult offered
to temperence men at the Chicago con-
MENTIONS and this vote has made prohl-
bition a national issue, which will not go
out of national politics till beer shops
and drunkards have gone from America.
The Republican party having been re-
moved from the path to the grave yard f,
prohibition will at once organize to
bury whisky Democrats four years
ahead. I am fully satisfied we have no
choice between the candidates Of the old
parties, but we were fighting to elect an
issue and we have won. The work to
make the issue win in 1888 has already
begun. (Signed)

CHICAGO, November 6.-About 40
o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Gardner,
wife of DR.. Schuyler Gardner, formerly
of Jefferson County, n. Y, shot her
husband and young child, both through
the head, killing them instantly: EASING
up the dead child, she carried 1t across
the street to neighbor's house, left it,
and calling to her neighbOr to come
over and see her husband, whom she
had Killed, returned to her own house
and shot herself through the temple:
She will die. 1t appears her husband
lost property short time, ago, which
ensed his wife of infidelity. This seems
to have unbalanced her mind. At the
time of the shooting he was bidding hel
goodbye, preparatory to going to RoeE
Falls, Ills. and it is supposed she
thought he was going to desert her.
