BIG FIRE AT GALVESTON.
The Great Confiagration Dc Not Pros
trate the City.

The Galveston Nc7vs says touching the
great fire: The conduct Of the people OF
Galveston in view OF the calamity that
overlook them on the 18TH cannot be too
highly commended. The shock was severe,
the test terrible; but Galveston will come
out of it undis,nayed. The loss is great
but not mere than Galveston can bear un.
der pressure. The people of the city are
now on their mettle and in this condition
they are at their best. Many families are
homeless. Some Of the people lost their
ALL ltwas great calamity but there will
be no unrelicved suffering. The driving
wheel of Galveston's existence is un.
impaired, the soul Of the city is not dis
turbed, and the busy marts of commerce
go on as if nothing had happened. The
prompt manner in which the citizens as
sembled to make provision for the impov-
erished and distressed, shows that the
spirit that ani,nates the city of Galveston
is equal to the emergency; and it would be
equal to an emergency much greater than
the one confronted with at present She
will be as beautiful as ever in Il few months
and is "doing business at the old stand"
The city OF Galveston, which was partly
swept away by the great confasration, had
a population of about 10000 people. 1t
was founded some fifty years ago. In
1850 it had 1000 people; in 1860, 1000; in
1870, 1900; in 1878, $1,000; and in 1880,
$4,000. 1t is situated upon the northeast
extremity of Galveston island, long, mar
row strip of land lying parallel with the
coast line.

ENGLISH POLITICS,
Wonderful Increase of Bitterness on the
Discstablisllnei,t Question.

London special: The disestablishment
question will not so down at The bidding
Of Gladstone. BY his speech at Edinburgh,
the ex-Premer has only succeeded in caus-
ing the importation of new word into the
British political vocabulary. He, and those
who believe with him, are now called Op-
portunists, because their only argument
concerning disestablshment is that it is
not an opportune time for its discussion.
But the Churchnen will have nothing to
do with Opportunists or Opportunism.
The Church Defense Union has formally
rejected Gladstone's advice to postpone the
controversy, and has resolved to fight the
advocates Of discstablishment with every
available weapon. Thousands Of pounds
have lready been subscribed for cam
paign fund, and lecturers are already in
the field in all directions. Enormous pla.
cards have been printed bv hundreds Of
thousands and will be posted all over the
country. 1t contains a iervid appeal for
earnest work in defense Of religion and is
headed in gigantic letters, Orally against
the enemies of the church of our fathers"
The appeal is signed by twenty Liberal
peers. Scotch Churchmen are equally
alert and aggressive. Parsons of the
Church of Scotland establishment are
everywhere active, and the bitterness of
the electoral campaign is enormously in
creased Even the Duke Of Argyll, in a
speech at Dundee said: "Gladstone's as.
surances are probably sincere, but they are
purely personal, and are not worth six.
pence unless formally endorsed by Cham.
berlan and Dixie" The names Of the
Radical leaders evoked storm Of groans
and Kisses. Parnell is jubilant He feared
Gladstone would succeed in composing the
differences between the Liberal factions
and would thus spoil many chances tor ef
fective work for Ireland in Great Britain
He now calculates that in score Of Brit
ish constituencies, where the Irish vote il
strong, Liberal Churchmen, will oppose
the Radicals, and that the Nationalist gair
from this source will exceed that of tn,
| Tories.

Commodore Montgomery Sicard, chief
Of the bureau of ordnance of the Navy
Department, in his annual report to the
Secretary Of the Navy, submits the es-
Inmates for the next fiscal year at $,,46o,.
S4:. Among the items are:
For fuel, tools, material and labor, bat.
teries, new types for six ships now in the
service toward the general armament of
the navy with modern secondary battery
and small arms; proof Of naval guns and
their appendages and the establishment of
proving and ranging ground, S1,11e,76o.
He asks for $,5o,ooo for general expen.

OUR ARMY.
The Report of the Adjutant General.

The annual report iof General Drum,
Adjutant General Of THE army, to the Lieu
tenant General is furnished for publication
1t says:
The number Of enlisted men now in the
army who are drawing increased pay,
under the act Of Congress Of August 4,
1864, is 6,s15, with periods Of continuous
service ranging from five to thirty five
years. Eleven thousand two hundred and
ninety .iour men will become entitled to
increased pay under the act of May IS,
1872. 1t affords the Adjutant General
much pleasure to sta'sa that the number OF
desertions from the arfhy during the past
year has sensibly decreased, being 745 less
than the number stated in his report last
year. The General enumerates the prin-
cipal causes Of desertion and the remedies
therefor. He also touches upon the army
schools and suggests improvements in
their methods He believes that the reg
ulation by promotions to field positions
that are made to those positions in the
regiment to which the promoted officer
belongs, should be changed, SO that the
officer promoted may be assigned to some
other regiment in the same arm Of the SER
vice.

RAILROAD PROPERTY.
Increased Confidence Manifested in That
Kind of Security.

The New York EInumial Chronicle says:
The railroad earnings for October make an
encouraging exhibit The increase in
gross earnings over 1885, is not remarkably
heavy, but SO much better than the pre-
vious months that it gives rise to feeling
that the tide has fairly turned and that rail.
road traffic hereafter is likely to show a
large increase over 1854. The movement
at the Stock Exchange has been sustained
beyond the expectations OF many of the
Oldest spectators. Each advance of five
or ten per cent in favor,c speculative
stocks, instead Of satisfying the sanguine
bulls is made the basis for another advance,
and the large profits already accrued are
pointed to as an argument for new buying
There are evidences OF increased conf
dence in railroad property. This has had
its influence in improving prices. The
principal feature Of the week was the
practical settlement of the trunk line agree.
ment, and the advance in rates which was
largely instrumental in assisting the up.
ward movement. 1t has put different
face upon the whole industrial outlook.
Not only the railroads directly effected
have been benefited, but the entire system
and with that every business interest.

4 COLORADO MINE HORROR.
Death of Ten Men in the Bull Domingo
Mine.

n Silver Cliff: special TO the Denver
News Of the 14th, says: Superintendent
Foss, Of the Bull Domingo, was not injured
by the explosion, as at first supposed. The
engineer and several others in the building
at the time of the explosion, were slightly
injured, but none seriously. All the debris
has been removed from the mouth ot the
shaft and the fire in the timbers Of the shaft
cxtinguished. Foreman Armstrong was
let down by ropes into the mine. At 200
feet he found the air good, but met no It'd
ings from any OF the men below. He had
to be brought out on account Of caving
from near the surface. The following men
arc in the mine: Con Nourse, II. Westfall,
Elmer Holster, ID. w. Patton, N. Degross.
lier, NJ. Lapoint, John Laube, Geo. Smith,
VIM. Strong and Marcus Babbesta.
At 5 o'clock Armstrong was let down to
the s5o-foot level. He found ten men-all
dead. Five Of them mad climbed eighteen
feet from the bottom OF the shaft to a drift,
and their dead bodies were found in the
mouth of the drift. The other five had
died in the face of the drift. At Up. m.
one of the dead bodies was lifted to the
surface The others will all be raised as
soon as possible. Three of the dead men
leave families living here, and one was en-
gagged to be married next week. The
superintendent was not in urcd as here
tolorc reported There is much indiyna
ton felt toward him, and there is strong
talk of lynching by the indignant miners,
who accuse him of criminal negligence in
keeping giant powder in the boiler ROOM
1t seems now that the fire originated ia the
roof of the building, and a portion of the
burning roof fell into the boiler room on
the giant, which, exploded, bursting hole
into the boiler and dislocating the machin-
cry SO that everything stopped at once, but
the men could have been drawn from the
mine if the machinery could have been
kept running, notwithstanding that the
building was on fire.
The Dillon tribune., 1885-11-21

Agent Armstrong, of the Grow Agency
in Montana, has telegraphed the Interior
Department that Indians on Tongue
river are supplied with rations and in no
danger OF starvation. 1t is said at the De-
partment that number of Indians left the
Pine Ridge Agency some time ago despite
the protests of their agent, and went into
the Tongue river country. The agent at
Tongue River Agency, under instructions
from the Department, refused to issue ra-
tons to them. 1t is presumed that their
condition has given rise to the report OF
suffering among the Tongue river Indians.
II the truant Indians are in distress they
must return to the Pine Ridge Agency,
where their rations are issued.

TRIPLE HANGING.
Three Italian Murtlerers Transported to u

At noon on the 18th, at Chicago, Azzaro,
Sylvestri and Gilardo, the three Italians
who strangled their countrytnan, Caruso,
last April, in order to rob him of his
money, some $500 in all, and shipped his
body in 4 trunk to New York, were hanged
in the county Jail. At u:4o when the
three condemned men appeared with their
guard and spiritual advisers, there was a

they were placed in position on the trap.
side by side. Gilardo and Sylvcstri ap.
peared brave and collected, but Azzaro
kept his eyes closed and was apparently on
the verge Of breaking down. They all re-
peated after the priests the prayers for the
dying, after which the straps and nooscs
were adjusted and the caps and shrouis
placed on the men. A moment later the
trap was sprung and the three figures shot
downward, the necks Of Sylves:ri and Gil
ardo being broken. The moose slipped
around under Azzaro's chin, and the wretch
slowly strangled in horrible convulsions.
In seven minutes his pulse ceased to beat
and the execution was completed.
