A DILEMMA FOR CLEVELAND.


The Postomce at Augusta Kicking Up
a Big Row in Which Blaine Is Mixed
Up.
Boston, March pa special to the Globe
from Augusta, Maine, says: This little city
way up in the northeastern part of the Union
has received good deal of attention and adj
vertising since last June, through the usually
unimportant fact to outsiders that we are to
have a postmaster appointed. All the lead
ing papers of the country have had editorials
upon this question usually considered local
affair. Few know the why and wherefore of
this interest in the nomination of q postmas-
ter for city Of ten thousand inhabitants.
When Mr.. Blaine was nominated for Presi-
dent there was Democratic weekly paper
published in the city, the business manager
of which d young man, Colonel
Charles B. Morton. He opposed Mr.. Blaine.
He had for years been one of the
leaders Of the Democratic party in the city.
During the campaign his paper published
other things brought out the celebrated
Madigan circular matter. When the result
of the battle became known Colonel Morton
was jubilant. The postoffice here pays over
$4,000 year and is a very desirable place.
The term of the present incumbent, Mr..
Manly, expires in May and by general con-
sent Colonel Morton has been named for the
place When it became known that Mr..
Morton would be the choice o. the Democrats
for postmaster it was said that Mr.. Blaine
declared that Morton was the only
man in Augusta he should object
to. The Maine Senators were reported
es saying they would defeat his
confirmation, Newspapers outside the State
had editorials on the question before Nor
toms friends asked any man to sign his petit
ton. But later the petitions were circulated
and now contain the names of every man in
the city who voted for Cleveland with one
exception and of about one-third of the
usual Republican voters of the city. Morton
learned from the papers that influences
outside of Augusta were to be brought to
bear upon the question and he got the sigma
lures of the County and State committees, of
the late candidate for Governor and every
candidate for Congress- Then the papers
said Mr.. Blaine had called upon Cleveland
and requested personal favor that the
President would not nominate Mr.. Morton.
Then the fun began Letters began to pour
in upon Morton from every quarter
offering assistance. Among the first was one
from Mrs. Lot M. Morrill, inclosing letter
to Cleveland in Morton's favor. Judges
upon the bench writing officially sent letters
indorsing Morton and his character and
ability From far and near have letters
come protesting against Mr.. Blaine carrying
personal likes and dislikes into the matter.
1t is astonishing the feeling SO slight
a rumor has stirred up. No other name will
be sent in for the place and the President
will be confronted with this mass of
strength on one hand and with Mr.. Blaine
and the Maine delegation on the other. The
outcome is looked for with much interest
here in Maine as well as elsewhere.

A SURPRISE I'm BRIDGEpoRr.

Manager Bunnell Remembered ny
His Friends Of The Mystic
Shrine.
The performance of the Pauline Markham
company in Bridgeport last evening proved
series of surprises. The opera house was
packed to its utmost, while all the center
seats in the orchestra were occupied by
Knights Templar and others of the higher
order of Masons, together with their ladies.
When Mr.. Bunnell stepped upon the stage
to make his usual announcement, all of the
brethren donned red fez, while their ladies
pinned upon their bosom an elegant emblem,
consisting of silver scimetar and crescent,
fastened to red satin cut in the
form of pyramid. All of this portion
of the programme was a surprise
to- Mr.. Bunnel1. When he had finished and
was about to leave the stage I. B. Beecher
stepped from the wings and presented Mr.
Bunnen with valuable gold emblem of the
order. The manager was completely taken
aback, but briefly returned his thanks amid
rapturous applause. Mr. Bunnen. it appears.
had invited the mobiles of Pyramid Temple
with their ladies simply out of compliment
Some prominent members, led by Postmas-
ter Julius W. Knowlton, grand potentate Of
the order, took the occasion to reciprocate
In this unexpected but very effective man.

SUFFERING AMONG THE MINERS.
The Strikers, Families Living on Corn
Meal and Wafer.


PITTsBURG, March 25. - Latest reports
from the fourth pool emphatically deny the
statement of last evening that there had
been any serious break from the ranks of
the striking miners. The operators are
working up vigorously all kinds of schemes
to induce the men to resume work The
strikers are if anything more enthusiastic
and determined than ever. In this
and other pools along the river the
men had but little to live upon when
they struck. It is now reported that there
are many cases of serious illness among the
women and children of the families of the
strikers who for several days have subsisted
on corn meal and water alone. Others for
nunate enough to own feeding the
animals on straw taken from bedticks. In
this city there is increased complaint in con-
sequence of the scarcity of fuel. Many fam
lilies have resorted to the use of coke and con-
siderable suffering from cold is reported
among the poorer classes.

Troy, N. Y, March 25.-Francis Kelley
of this city, aged nineteen, married Cohoes

second marriage and procured his arrest.
The detectives found Kelley at the home of
Miss Shutters and when they made their er
rand known her two stalwart brothers seized
revolvers and vowed their intention of blowing
out Kelley's brains. Kelley covered behind
the officers and the latter drawing their
weapons ordered the brothers to throw up
their hands. Kelley was handed over to
the Cehoes officers. He said he contracted a
marriage because his first wife instead of
attending to her duties spent her
days in roller skating Kinks and her evenings
with questionable male companions. Miss
Shutters brothers say that they will be pres
ent at his trial and that if he IS not convict
ed they will shoot him dead. Miss Shutters

seemed 10th to leave its position and to cling
tenaeiously to its frail support. 1t waversd
and fell, dividing in mid air and
plunged into the mass of fire
in the interior of the burning edifce.
Shortly before this the crowd was
astonished to hear the bell of the church
ringing. The cause was explained by the
appearance of men on the topmost part of
the tower who were ringing the bell to let
the people know they needed assistance.
These were four men who had been directing
stream upon the church which was then
blazing in several places. All but one
named Grimm escaped. Grimm tried to
drop from the roof-about thirty feet down
when he slowly turned till his body was
at an angle of forty-five degrees
