Denies Certain Charges Against Him.

Blaine has written the following letter to
Hon. VIM. Mckinley of Ohio
BELAIRE, o., Oct 4, 1884.
Hon. VIM. Mckinley, M. c., Canton, O.:
My dear sir-I have your favor stat
ing certain charges against me, which
you wish to be able TO contradict authoitively.

First-It is utterly untrue that ever advo-
Gated residence of 2l years as a requirement

think the only change in the naturalization
laws for which ever voted in Congress was
to admit those foreigners who had honorably
served in the Union army to citizenship with
out the delay required by others.
SecOnd-I never voted to impose tax of
$40 per annum on miners BY the internal
revenue laws framed to raise money for the
expenses of the war. The proprietors of
mines were taxed $40 per annum. just as
lawyers, physicians. builders and other call
ings were; but the individual miner, the man
who actually worked in the mine, was not in
the least affected by the tax. | voted for the
tax on the proprietors of mines as did for
every other tax needed for the support of the
Union armies. The tax was repealed 10
wears ago.

Hezekiah Bundy in July last on this same
subject was accurately true.

FIVE or six times as she graxed past the
steamers side Traynor was of course thrown
out into the water, but he held on to his life
line and was buoyed up by his cork jacket.
This apparatus he wore constantly, fitting as
/ it did like waistcoat and excluding the cold.
His boat riehted like cork after clearing
the steamer, but he found that one of her
knees was started and the planking bulked
| in. However, the mishap did not impair the
boats buoyancy, and after repairing the
damage as we'll as circumstances would admit
| he bore up for ST. Pierre.
1 Before reaching that point, however, there
occurred the one incident which serves to
indicate. if anything can, the nature of the
voyage undertaken by Traynor He passed
two men dead in . bankers dory. The
difference between the circumstances Of these
two men when alive and vigorous and the
circumstances of Traynor we're trifling, yet
that iritie involved the tremendous issue Of
life to one and death to the other two. Here
we have the most striking illustration of the
fact that dories can be so constructed as to
be the means of saving many lives now an
nually sacrificed by the bank fleet. as a result
| of an insufficient equipment of the dories now
in use. II this remarkable incident would
but direct the attention of influential men
toward effecting an improvement in this class
| of boat Traynor's cruise would be productive
| of incalculable benefit to the hardy fishermen
who ply a perilous vocation hundreds Of
miles from shore.
While lying disabled from the effects of
the collision the Bibber and its captain were
picked up by u French fishing schooner and
conveyed into ST. Pierre. Traynor does not
know the name of the steamer which struck
his boat and is of opinion that the accident
was not observed on board He remained
there four days and effected repairs and put
ting to sea again on the 10th ult. arrived here
after a very battling run of fifteen days, in
the course OF which he had to make harbor
three times. He remained here till last
Monday and during that time was the object
of much curiosity and his voyage a subject Of
much conversation. His boat was taken out
of the water and brought up to a roller skat-
ing rink here and was followed by a great
crowd of people. Here he held on for few
days and then his boat was removed TO the
marine slip where he was assisted IN putting
few finishing touches on her, preparatory
to undertaking the most hazardous exploit of
all-the run across to Queenstown. Weak
parts of the dory were strengthened, thick
coat OF tar applied all over the bottom and
the boat put in thorough seaworthy condi-
ton.

1900 pounds of powder and large quantity
OF fuse. This was material enough TO dis.
troy large amount of powder if those young
men had desired. The defendant was the
garrison of the fort and had he suffered in
truders to come there for criminal purposes,
and how was he to knew they did not come
for criminal purpose, he would have been
subject TO court martial Had these young
men not violated the law there would have
been no accident. 1t give me pain to say
that several of the witness have been guilty
of perjury. Drs. Fuller and Furguson to
my certain knowledge have been guilty of
the rankest falsehood.
The testimony for the defence then begun.
Sergeant Kelley testified that on July 29th,
1882, he was ordnance sergeant at Fort
Popham, having full charge of everything
about and insde of the fort; that he had been
in the army q years up to that time. In the
fort were IL mounted guns, 1922 pounds of

TRAYNOR AND HIS DORY.

letter from St. John. N. F., to the Bath
Times gives an account of the trip to that
port of John Traynor who started to cross the
Atlantic in q dory. The letter says:
Captain Traynor arrived here at 8 A. M.
Friday, September 18th, from st. Pierre. the
small French island off our southwest coast,
via coastwise ports and he left for Queentown

ners and by occupation seaman. His name
is Franz Headerman. He volunteered to 20
with Traynor and is now on his way with him
to Queenstown. The conditions of Traynors Q
voyage when alone and single handed were
much more onerous than his present one with
q helpmate to relieve him.
The spirits of the deep who make the Bay
of Fundy the stormiest piece of water on the
North American coast, had no more compass
sion on Traynor and his cockle-shell than
they would bestow upon q three decker; and
they buffeted and tossed him about in the
fercest manner. II blew an almost continu-
GUS hurricane while he was crossing this bay
and he had to lay TO his boat and drift wher.
ever the storm drove him. This sort OF
experience almost wore the man out for want
Of rest, so that when an opening happened BY
which he could run to Yarmouth he gladly
took advantage of it.
His hardest trial, however. was met on the
Grand Bank. 1t was blowing gale from the
southwest and Traynor was LAYING to on the
starboard tack, the time being at night, wher
he was struck by a steamer going east
Fortunately it was sidewise the "collision'

A BROKEN WATER MAIN
Causes a Washout on the Boston Il AL
bany RailrOad-The Boston Water
Supply Partially Cut OF.

BOSTON, Oct. 4.
A serious accident occurred on the Back
Bay this forenoon. Two bridges are being
built over the Boston & Albany tracks at
Brookline avenue. They were iron bridges
with stone abutments. The main water pipe
which supplies the city of Boston partially
with water had to be raised, and while in that
position, by some accident large stone which
was being raised slipped and fell upon the
main pipe, breaking it. Immediately a
stream of water spurted out Is feet high, ard
before the water could be shut off it made a
break 80 feet long in the main line of the
track. so that the entire four tracks. sleepers,
road bed and all of the Boston & Albany road
at that point was washed completely awav.
The water in this city will have to be shut
off. although there is another reservoir on
Parkers Hill. Ii is the opinion of expert
enced contractors on this road that no trains
can be run over the road before dark tonight
at the very earliest.

A BIG BLAZE.
A Storage Warehouse Burned, EntaiIing
Loss OF Half a Million Dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.
Between four and five o'clock this morning
fire swept through Heacocks' storage ware
house, Nos. 1917 and 1919 Brown street. and
nine adjacent dwelling houses were also de-
stroyed by falling walls. The total loss will
reach half million dollars, on which there
is an insurance of about sl50,000. The
store house was a six story building and ex-
tended from Brown TO Atmore street and was
filled to overfiowing with household goods.
600 different families having effects stored
there. The fire, the origin of which is un-
known, was discovered on the fourth floor
and by the time the fremen reached the
scene all of that floor was ablaze. The
flames made rapid headway and in short
time the three upper floors were a mass of
fame. The building, which was claimed to
be nre-proof, proved an easy prey to the
flames owing to the combustible nature OF
the contents.
