LOWELL.
The American Minister to England
Unveils the Bust Of Coleridge,
the Poet.
An Example Of Prompt Justice Dis
played at Colon in the Hanging,
of Two Rebels.

LONDON, May flames Russell
Lowell unveiled q bust of Coleridge,
the poet, in Westminster abbey this
afternoon. Previous to the cere-
mony of the unwilling of the bust,
q preliminary gathering was
held in the Chapter House. Besides
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge and
Baron Houghton there were present
Lord Aberdare, Canon Fairar, Rob-
ert Browning, Professor Blackie
and the whole COleridge family, in
GLIDING a grandson and granddaughter
of the poet. Many members of the
House of Commons, noblemen, bish-
OBS, deacons and q large number of
Americans were also in attendance.
Dean Bradley and M. Lowell en-
tered the Chapter House arm In arm.
The Dean made q short speech in
which he said that he heartily SYM,
pathized with the meeting. Hepaid
q high tribute to MI. Lowell and
said that he was eminently
fitted to perform the duty of unveil-
ing tie statute. The ceremony, he
said, would add another link to the
many that already bound together
England and America. MI. Lowell
replied that he would have preferred
that the task of unwilling had been
ENTRUSTED TO woRTHIER HANDS,
but the fact that the bust is the gift
of the late Reverend DR.. Mercer, Of
Rhode Island, through his execu-
trix, Mrs. Pell. supplied that argu-
.ment of ftaess which would other
wise have been alb ent. He contin-
ued: can the waters Of the Atlantic
cannet wash out of the consciences
of either nation the fact that we hold
our intellectual property in common.
The literary traditions and fame of
those who have shed lustre upon our
race remain an undivided Inherit
ance. Coleridge's works are a COM
panion and teacher in the happlest
hours of our youth, and in all age
they recall the radiant images of our
youth which We have lost. Surely
there are no friends so constant as
poets. Among them none are more
faithful than Coleridge. Just fifty
one years ago I became possess ed Of
a pirated American reprint of Coler-
idge, shelley and Keats, and I trust
I may be pardoned for the delight l
took in it. Coleridge was a me::-
physical teacher and interpreter
whose services are incalcu]able.' MI.
Lowell said
HE ADMIRED ESPECIALLY
the "Ancient Mariner" Mr.. Cole
ridge was q man of artless simplicity
and yet a finished scholar. He owed
much to the poetry of others, but
most to his own native genius. Mr..
Lo we'll concluded: "This is neither
the time mol the place to speak of
C0leridge's conduct to himself, Lis
or the world. He left behind
him a great name. Let those who
are blameless cast the first stone at
one who might have been better had
he possessed those business faculties
MAKE man respectable. He
left us such a legacy as only genius
and genius not always-can leave.'
[Cheers].
Lord Coleridge returned than ks en-
of his family and the as
then went to the poets
corner, and Mr.. Lowell formally I'M

inscription, "Samuel Taylor

A1rEmPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
A Crank Puts Ties Upon and Digs .
Ditch Under The Track.

HELENA, May 6.-The Herald Of
last evening contains the following
account of an attempt to wreck the
Helena 4 Wickes train: "When
about two miles and q half from Mon
tana City, the engineer of the train
that left Helena this morning for
Wickes saw = red flag, the signal for
stopping. flying at the side of the
track some distance ahead of the
train. He accordingly slowed up and
approached the flag at reduced speed.
Upon reaching the place where the
flag stood, he discovered a short dis
lance ahead ten or fifteen ties piled
on the track in such q compact form

the train had it struck them while
running at its usual speed. The
train, which was running very
slowly, soon came to q stop, and the
train men, with the a. sistance Of the
passengers, soon cleared away the
obstruction, when the train was
again put in motion. It had pro-
ceeded only q distance of 400 or 500
feet when the engineer saw ahead of
him . large ditch across the track inn
mediately in front of the train. 1t
was seen too late to stop the train In
time, and the men on the engine held
their breath as the huge locomotive
advanced upon that portion of the
track which crossed the ditch and
which was upheld only by frail
wooden supports. The ditch was
eight feet wide and quite deep, but
was passed in safety by the whole
train. Each one who had seen the
ditch and knew the risk taken in
crossing it; drew a long breath as the
last car passed the dangerous place
and the whole train stood safe and
uniDjured on the other side of the
pitfall. The train then proceeded on
its way without further accident. As
soon as it could be done inquiries
were made concerning the cause of
the obstruction, when it was ascer-

A FIRE.
Millions OF Feet OF Lumber De-
strOyed.

May o. ollOICly alteE
noon to-day a spark from a passing
locomotive ignited a fire in the heart
of the great pine lumber yard dis
trict, which lies near the southwest
ern city limits. Bordering upon this
district are the wooden-built portions
of the city, known AS Bridgeport,
and the Union street stock yards,
with their acres If wooden sheds
and pens, filled with cattle, hogs aad
sheep. A fierce wind was blowing
from the west, and the flames spread
with great rapidity. The entire fire
department was called out, and be-
gan fighting the flames, but the
twenty or thirty streams of water
which were thrown upon them had
little or no effect, as Tar as staying
their progress was concerned. The
dry pine boards and shingles were
piled to a great height, only narrow
lanes between being left for wagons
to pass through. The narrow inter-
stices between the boards furnished
unusual facilities for
THE PROGRESS OF THE FLAMES,
while they broke the force of the
streams of water and prevented it
from penetrating to the blazing pine
in the center Of the piles. The news
OF the fire spread rapidly to the bust
ness center of the city, and created
much alarm lest the fire should as
sumo proportions appro aching those
of the great cOnf1agratiOn of 1871,
which came from the same direction.
Great brands We're carried forward
by the wind, setting fire to the Dew
piles, and several fire steamers, and
the men manning them, had narrow
escapes from destruction. Starting
upon the west side of the river, the
flames ate up all the lumber between
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-eighth streets
an area of about 400 by 1000 feet.
1t set fire to a c%analboat moored at
the dock, and it
FLOATED ACROSS THE RIVER
which is $50 feet wide at this point,
and set fire to the lumber on the east
bank, which covered an equal area,
and this, with n or two planning
mills, was consumed. Brands were
carried eastward and set fire to sev-
eral small frame houses occupied by
employees in the lumber district. The
fire department., however, made q
stand at this point, and succeeded Ill
preventing the spread of the flames
into the residence district. The gght
continued:throughout the afternoon,
and it was nearly O'Clock before the
c0nfagra1ion was brought under
control, having practically burned
itself to the limits OF the immediate
district in which it began. A heavy
rain during the most of the after
noon was of material assistance.
The entire area burned is $40 by 1900
feet. The aggregate of lumber de-
stroyed was As, O0O, COO feet,
VALUED AT 500, DOC.

ance are as follows: Chicago Lum-

CHICAGO, May 8.-The publication
