his pocket, fred, the ball taking effect in
schaeter's forehead, Just over the left eye.
The skull was slightly fractured, but the
physicians had no difficulty in extracting
the bullet, which was found imbedded in
the skull. Just how seriously he is in,
jured cannot be estimated Just at present,
although it is feared the hurt will result
fatally.
Burcher, after doing the shooting, fed
to the graveyard in the outskirts Of the
town, and hid among the tombstones. A
posse OF citizens was formed, and q search
commenced. Att II o'clock his hiding

County Jail in that city, where reporter

phatically that he struck the first blow,
although several witnesses say he did.

shrewdnees. stamped upon his face. His

sons ought, frat Of all, to reform. But il

her for a witch would be to do her up too

power to do all these terrible things?

Trnnk L,na situation,

PHILADkIPuIA Nov. %: The trunk line
situation is not changed at all by the
action OF the Baltimore and Ohio signing
the agreement conditionally. The fact is
the Baltimore and Ohio never consented
to the agreement originally, except condi-
tionally, a fact that was well.kept secret
until the disagreement with the Pennsyl.
yania brought IL out. The Baltimore and
Ohio will maintain freight rates like
other roads, and it will be compelled touse
the Pennsylvania for its passenger SER
vice, ns it has done recently. The reason
why the PennsylvaHiG Railroad objects
to the Baltimore and Ohio's proposition
is not because the latter expects to build
q line to New York, but because the
Pennsyly2nia, does not care to allow the
Baltimore and Ohio to use ito facilities in
New York for the purpose OF building up
business for the proposed new road. u
the baltimore and Ohio will make a con.
tract for any length u time it is likely the
Pennsylvania would agree, but 1t does
not wish to be put in theposition ola mere
convenience to assist rival build up q
competing business.
The following is Mr.. Garrett's reseEya.
ton in signing the trunk line agreement
That the Baltimore and Ohio will be
bound by the provisions Of tho contract,
80 far as 1t relates To passengers traffic,
only in case it becomes member OF the
trunk line passenger division.

acteristically of hand, after dinner style
treated the important Transaction and the
constitution Of PennsylVRnia more flip.
PANTY than he would the most trihing Of
toasts. Now when the Baltimore q Ohio
acquires the Rapid Transit Company he
again appears in the newspapers in an in
teryiew with the same comedian airs as
upon the previous occasion. Both trans.
actionsare ofunquestioned Importance and
deserving OF serious consideration. Mr..
Depew treats them as il he were the end
man in travelling minstrel show, where
old Jokes were ever fresh or he the second
trombone Of the railroad presidents
troupe. It suggests that Mr.. Depew, be-
ing universally conceded TO be the best
aiter-dinner speaker in the country, brings
to the consideration OF railroad questions
not knowledge OF them, but the peculiar
conception OF things which has served
him 90 well in his post prandial efforts.
IMPORTANCE OF THE d. 4 0. MOVE.
The securing by the Baltimore and Ohio
OF the Staten Island line is, as mono can
deny, perfectly legitimate Transaction.
1t is simply attending to its own business
and connecting the best facilities in New
York. It is not threat to Mr.. Depew's
line, but, on the contrary, had MI. .Depew.
looked at 1t from proper standpoint, it
has certain elements Of advantage even TO
him, as it makes the Baltimore and Ohio
q permanent factor Of New York,
and not subject to the complications
and fluctuations arising from periodically
being driven from the Pennsylvania line.
The suggestion of Mr.. Depew that the
acquisition Of the Staten Island line is ex.
pensiye to the Baltimore & Ohio and such
additional expenses would make the Bal
timore & Ohio Company more conserva-
tive, is wise one. II naturally sug
gests that the New York Gem
Eral haying Just guaranteed fifty mil
lions Of new expenses, the Baltimore &
Ohio guaranteeing one and half mil.
lions, the New York Central ought to be
thirty or forty times as conservative. The
New York Central recognizes the value OF
close connections with the street and
elevated railroad service in New York,
and it is a lit le surprising that Mr.. Depew
forgets that q branch OF the elevated has by
his earnest wish been constructed direct
to the Forty-second street depot. This is
from one elevated line, while the Balti-
more & Ohio will land passengers at the
Battery, where they can step from the
cars on the steamers dock to take any one
Of the four elevated lines in the city, or
take the Broadway or other street car

NEW ,YoRx, Nov. 2S.-The accidental
upsetting Of q kerosene lamp in the rooms
ofoHo Matobeck, on the third floor Of the
Ave story tenement, 4oI, East sixty-iourth
street early this morning was the signal
for agonizing scenes Of terror and death.
The house and the one adjoining were
filed with Bohemian cigar makers, en-
ployed in q neighboring cigar factory.
One hundred and fifty people slept sound
ly when the cry Of FIRE was raised. The
flames communicated to the floors above
through convenient air shafts. A Ecene
Of wild confusion and panic ensued. The
frightened tenants took to the fire escape
with all haste. They were given shelter
by the neighbors while the fremen were
fighting the flames. This wasnot an easy
task as the upper stories and the roof were
ablaxe, and the flames had spread to No.
406. Reinforcements were summoned
and the fire was quickly subdued. About
$15, 900 damage was done to the buildings
and the property Of the tenants.
WHOLE EA&iLY sMoTH2RED.
There had been some narrow escapes,
and two women with their children were
reported to have been seriously burned,
but the firemen were not prepared to find
q whole family smothered to death. In
rear room ofthe top floor OF No. 404 they
came upon Mary Tealka, Q widow 40 years
old, aud her children-Alary, aged Z and
Annie aged years, lying dead. It was
three hours after the outbreak when this
discovery was made. A second and closer
search was made, but no other bodies had
been discovered up to o'clock In the

He had disappeared and did not Hhowup
until later in the morning, when he was

Of arson and murder against him. The
excitement OF the Bohemians had become
a furious rage. and threats of lynching

The fact that the Pennsylvania manager

President Depew in his interview pnb-

story Of misery liking company. When
tbe Pennsylvania railroad sought to pun
chase tha South Pennsylvania railroad,
which was competing line, and whose
pnrchase was forbidden by the Oonsttu-
Hon Of Pennsylvania, there was an inter
view With Cbauncey Depew published
