THE FIRE RECORD.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Mitchell, Oak, Sept. 25.-For the fourth
time in two months the fire alarm was
sounded at II o'clock. The wind was blow
ing gale. The fire originated in Mills
blacksmith shop on Lawler street, and was
confined to that building, although it seemed
impossible to check it. Loss $500. No in
surance.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 25.-An early morning
fire on hillside above South Twenty-fifth
street entirely consumed five frame dwell
ings, together with their household goods.
The flames spread so quickly that the oc-
cupants barely escaped with their lives,
several persons being compelled to jump
from the second-story windows The loss
will aggregate 1900, on which there is a
small insurance. The fire is believed to
be incendiary.
POINT Az Pic, Que, Sept. 25.-The steam
er Saguenay, on the way to Quebec with a
number of British scientists and other PISS
sengers on board, caught fire and burned
to the waters edge here last night. The

ing between 5000 and 5000 barrels of oil
took fire this afternoon at the works of the
Standard Oil company. The fire department
prevented a spread of the flames to the pro-
perty beyond the tank. The greater portion
of the oil was saved by being pumped out
from the bottom. Three employees were
severely burned about the legs, being caught
| by the rapidly flowing and blazing oil as il
escaped from the burning tank.

RAILROAD WRECK.
Four Coaches ON the Grand Trunk

BAD WRECK ON THE GRAND TRUNK.

TORONTO, Sept. 25.-Three Pullman and
the private car of Chief Engineer Hannaford,
of the Grand Trunk express, for Montreal
and Boston, left the track near Pickering
station last night, owing to a broken frog,
and went over an emhankment twenty-five
feet high. At the time of the accident it
was very dark, and the rain was pouring in
torrents and the crash of the falling
cars, the shrieks of the women and the
groans of the wounded, combined with the
darkness, made the scene horrible. The
horrors multiplied when Engineer Hanni-
ford's coach took fire. The flames burned
fiercely despite the pouring rain, and quickly
communicated to the Pullman coach that
came next, though the flames were here
stayed A large number sof towns people
quickly gathered and assisted in rescuing
the passengers from the burning Pullman
as quickly as possible. The passengers col
lected together and the roll was called when
it was found that about dozen were injured
but none seriously. How all escaped is a
mystery. One of the coaches is smashed
into kindling wood. All were whirled over
and over several times, yet many escaped
absolutely unhurt, while most of the wounds
are OF slight character. The injured were
taken to Whitby and medical aid procured.
The damage to track and rolling stock is es-
timated at 100000.

A fairy skif in a stream was lying
A skih with a silken sail;
In a forest of fire the day was dying,
And daintily stirred the gale;
When a maiden fair and a gallant gay
Sprang into it lightly and sailed away
Away through the purple cleaning.
No moon looked down from the vaulted heaven;
They sailed by the light Of stars,
By the smile serene of the sisters seven
And the ruddier glow of Mars.
But the storm king rose in his grandeur grim,
And the stars swan into the distance dim,
As they tossed on the troubled water.
The tempest ceased, and the broad, deep river
Flowed on with unruf1ed breast;
Again in high heaven the sisters culver,
And the wild winds sink to rest.
There is calm below, there is peace above,
And the eyes of the maiden are full of love
Al she clings to her happy lover.
They hear the boom of the mighty ocean;
Their blithe bark breasts its swell
And westward glides with a gentle motion
But whittier l cannot tell.
We know loves stream is not smooth for aye;
But the sweet stars shine as they sail away
Der the ocean of life together.

The House of Landlords.
London Letter.

London Letter.
The House of Lords is often called
the House of landlords, and not without
reason, since out of 500 privileged tc
legislate for the country-or, as some
say, themselves-no less than 440 are
landlords in the fullest sense of the
term that is; they derive the whole or
the greater part of their revenues from
land. Fifteen million acres of land
with an aggregate rent roll of nearly
els 900 900, represent their property
and income, while another e750, 900 in
the shape of pensions, annuities and sal
aries also falls annually to the lot of
this privileged class. In addition to
this, no n can yet properly contri-
butte the sums which are drawn yearly
by their relations and hangers-on from
the National Exchequer, but 1t has beer
reckoned that within the last thirty
years about e7O, 900 900 has been paid
to sons, grandsons, cousins, etc, o!
titled families for more or less-gener.
ally less-active services rendered to the
State. Nearly half the members of the
upper House hold or have held COM
missions in the army and navy, and e
enty new peerages have been created
within the past ten years.

A German view of Blaine.

DR.. II. Won Hoist, the author of one of the
most remarkable, searching, scholarly and in
telligent c~ritiques of the constitutional history
of the United States, shows that he studies
this country with all that minute and patient
industry so characteristic of German scholar
ship. He is strictly impartial, having no rea-
son to be otherwise, and his accuracy has
never vet been impea ched, or siceritv and hon
esty of his Judgment overthrown. As an at
tentive observer of all political movements in
the United States he contributes to a late num-
Der of the Berlin Nation a long article upon
Presidential candidates here. He speaks of
Cleveland in terms of high commentator, re-
views his success in the Governors office OF
New York, and then proceeds: .
son the other side it is only the band of
demagogues and the bread-and-butter pollti-
clans of all degrees of AFFECTION (but they in
the highest degree) that properly can and must
wish for Blaine's triumph. Aposltlve achieve
ment of craftsmanship is not in his record.
Notwithstanding the prominent political posi-
ton he has held many years, he IS a man OF
talent without proper culture, but attractive in
manner, a clever speaker, skilled parllamenta-
rian, an INSCRIPTIONS party man, highly
trained and an out and out machine politician
these are his qualifications as a statesman.
n - y The tendency of his administration
would doubtless swamp, for he lives and moves
in political intrigue, and to his vast ambition
clnSS the ledueu WtlSnbu VI a HihaAA anu ulAtg
passion. That is the worst of it, and makes OF
this campaign a phenomenon unique IN the
history of the United States. Shallow machine
politicians, straw puppets, and mixtures of
demagogues and party tools without a Frame
work have repeatedly been put forward
by the parties, and in the last half century
the politicians have shown a marked disin-
inclination to choose a statesman as official
leader of a party but never before have they
dared to bring forward for the first position
in the world a man in whose hands money
clings in a dishonorable manne Blu Blaine
has stood for years convicted by his own tes-
timony in black and white of having received
payment from railroad companies for services
which he rendered them as Speaker in
the House of Representatives. \ =" I'M
mensely important is the question whether
civil service reform d. e., the substitution of a
form of government organized in accordance
with the demands of healthy common sense and
of a civilized nation, for the semi barbarian
nuisance Of the spOils system) shall be con-
tinued. or the land intrusted four years longer
to the maehine-Of much greater importance
is, nevertheless, the question whether mmacu-
late personal honesty shall continue TO be alb
solutely required in a man whom this nation
of over 80 900, 600 by its own free choice places
at its head"
It is this German instinct, which detects and
d~lscriminates between honesty and dishonesty,
that has secured for Cleveland seventy per
cent of the German voters in this country.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

New York Sun: If this had been the frsi
evidence published of Mr.. Blaine's financial
transactions when speaker of the house, the
sensation occasioned by the disclosure and the
blow to the supporters af the Republican can
didates would have been tremendous beyond
description.
New York Times: If anything short of actual
horse stealing will convince the ardent Blaine
Republicans that their candidate is a mar
without honor or without shame, q scoundrel
himself, and an instigator of scoundrelism il
others, we are sure that Mr.. Blaine's letter OF
April l6, 1876, to Fisher, with its i%nclosure.
will have that effect.
Chicago News: 1t ia a.sorrowful picture, these
letters display, of an able man groveling in the
dust of humiliation and shame at the feet OF
money changers. His appetite grew more raven
GUS the more it was fed. Mr.. Blaine's terrible
mental and pecuniary sacrifices were caused by
his labors and efforts to keep the exact facts OF
his relations with the railway rings quiet from
his friends in Maine.
Chicago Times: If what Blaine had done in
relation to the Little Rock speculation was not
improper, why did he desire a certificate from
his Dear Fisher that he had not done it? 1t is
plain enough that Dear Fisher did not sign that
charming document, but it was not a state
ment of truth. The line had to be drawn
somewhere, and Dear Fisher drew it when
Brother Blaine begged him to help him to get s
higher public Office by his signature to q state
ment that was not true.
Evening Telegram: Can anything be con-
ceived more damaging to the character of any
man than the letters? No wonder that the
writer groveled in the dust before Mulligan,
who held the letters, and implored him to
spare him.
Brooklyn Eagle: The fact of this exhibit
will be no man will be able to vote for james
q. Blaine without being responsible for an eff
fort to raise to the highest office in the repub-
lie a man whom ne knows to be a political
prostitute.
Brooklyn Union: The correspondence final.
ly and absolutely convicts Blaine of prostitut-
ing for private gain his position as speaker,
and then endeavoring to conceal this offense
by a series of willful, deliberate and unmiti-
gated falsehoods.

THE ENCLOSURE.
me IoloWlng is the enclosure referred to il
the preceding letter:
boston, April, 1S76-Hon. James G. Blaine
washington, u. @ Dear Sir-I observe tina
certain newspapers are making. or rather in
slnuatlng, the absurd charge that you owne
OF hsd owned $4,000 of Little Rock & For
smith railroad bonds, and that YOU had il
someway obtained them as q g~ratuity. The
enterprise OF building the Little Rock & For
omith was undertaken in 1869 by a company o.
gentlemen, OF whom / was myself one. Thu
bonds of the road were put upon the marke
IN TINS city, upon what was deemed very ad
VantaBeous terms to the purchaser. They
were sold largely through myself. Ycu became
the purchaser of about $4,000 Of the bondf
on precisely the same terms that every Other
buyer received, paying for them in install
ments, running over a considerable period.
just as others did. The transaction was per-
fectly open, and there was no more secresy
In regard to 1t than il you were buying flour OF
sugar. l am sure you never owned a bond OF
the road that you did not pay for it in the mar
ket rate. Indeed, l am sure that no one re-
celved bonds on any other terms. When the
road got into financial difficulties and loss fell
upon you, you still retained your bonds, anc
held them clear through to the reorganization
OF the company in 1874, exchanged them fol
stock and bonds of the new company. You &C
CURED also some demands against the new com.
pany by reason of your having joined with
others in raising some money when the com.
pany was in pressing need. For the energy OF
that money proceedings are now pending in the
United states circuit court in Arkansas, +,
which you are openly a party of record. Con
cealment Of the Investment and everything con
nected with it would have been very easy haC
concealment been desirable; but your action il
the whole matter was as open and as fair as the
day. When the original enterprise failed, ]
knew with what severity the ~pecuniary loss Eel.
upon you and with what integrity and nerve
you met it. Years have since elapsed it seems
rather hard at this late day to be compelled to
meet a Islander in a matter where your conduct
was in the highest degree honorable and
straightforward. You may use this letter in
any way that will be of service to you Very
Very sincerely yours, W. F., Jr.
