Announcement of the Electoral Vote.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 11.-Senator Ed
mund's manner of announcing the electoral
vote to-day was construed as supporting the
claims of the Democrats in II as to the
and as adverse to Republican claims and
practice. His statement was greeted with
Democratic applause to-day, and was the
subject of general and ill-concealed dissatis-
fact among Republicans. The question will
probably come M in the Senate tomorrow
on Hoar, when Edmunds is expected to de-
fend his resolution position. In the mean
time there is some talk. but has taken no
definite shape of electing the presiding
officer of the Senate IA more in harmony
with the Republican views of this matter.

Frightful Boiler Explosion.

HARRIsBuRG, Feb. IA most frightful
boiler explosion occurred this afternoon in
what are known as Cumbler's quarries,
about four and half miles from this city.
Christian Horn (white) and John L. Spencer
(colored) were instantly killed, both bodies
were horribly mangled. Peter Brown. an
other workman. had his right arm cut from
his body by a piece of flying pipe. They
will die. No cause is ascribed for the acci-
dent, as there was but forty-fve pounds of
steam in the boiler, with a slow fire. The
accident caused considerable excitement.

TERRIBLE FATE OF a SHIPS S CREW
Startling Revelations Connected with
the Loss of the Arcana.

ST. JOINS, n. B., Feb. 11.-Facts have Just
transpired in connection with the loss of the
American schooner Arcana which did not
appear in the recent inquest on the death of
members of her crew. 1t is said the light
house keeper and his brother and survivors
heard the cries of the mate for almost ten
hours, but the village was not informed until
the next morning. Immediate action would
probably have saved the crew. One young
man was found sitting on the steps of the
old lighthouse frozen to death. Another
was lying on the wharf, where he had walked
until he dropped dead. The mate was in the
cellar of an old house, where he had walked
as long as he could, and then must have
crawled about on his knees, for his trousers
and drawers were worn through. I 1hese facts
have just been laid before the Government.

THE STREET RAILROADS.
Traffic on the Road Impeded by 6ellig-
erent Citizens.


The managers OF the street railroad are
having rather tough time of il this week
contending with the snow blockade, and, as
though the elements were not enough, the
citizens in several parts of the city are SEEM
ingly endeavoring TO do what they can 10
impede traffic on the road and put the man.
agement to as much trouble as possible.
The railroad company are doing all in their
power TO keep the tracks and the streets Tree
from snow. They have had teams at work on
Division, Lagrave and West Bridge streets
hauling snow away rs rapidly
ms possible and this morning
about two O'Clock put from fifteen TO twenty
men with teams at work on Canal and Mon
roe streets to clear away the snow. Under
the ordinance the railroad is not compelled
to haul snow, they are only required TO dis
tribute the snow go as not to leave il in piles
or ridges, but they have hauled away large
quantities of snow of their own accord
Those who are acquainted with the subject
say that considering the circumstances the
service is better this winter than
it has has ever been before, and
il is certainly unfortunate as well as unwise
for citizens TO throw unnecessary impedi-
ments in the way. In addition 10 those al
ready reported as throwing snow on the
tracks it is said that Balls 'bus men have
done so, and that il has been done by several
citizens near the corner of Stocking and
Bridge streets. 1t is time that such unneces-
sary and nonsensical spite work is stopped.
