BURIED IN THE RUINS.
Collapse of a ROOkery at Jer-
sey City.
Several People Buried in the
Debris.
Two Americans Ordered to
Leave Germany.
A Falling Building Buries Several
People.

JERSEY CRY, Nov. 25.-The four story
frame structure, No. A Morris street and
a two story rookery fell this morning at
ll:l5, and buried in the debris at least
half a dozen people. The building was
condemned by the board Of aldermen
several months ago and was unoccupied.
Boys and girls were engaged in tearing
the structure down, when it fell; Mary
Schensky, aged 8 years, was killed out
outright; Maggie Smith, aged I years,
had several ribs broken. The building is
a complete wreck. The groans of the
dying can be heard above the hum of
voices and the noise of workmen. The
fire department was called out and is as
sisting the laborers in removing the de-
bris. Policeman Finley was on his post
when the accident occurred; he states
that at least two dozen women, boys and
girls were running in and out of the
building all the morning, carrying away
wood. He did not know how many we're
in the building when it fell.

Are utilities to the chronic invalid. What
to him are the rewards of ambition, the
accumulation of fortune, or the fruition of
domestic happiness2 The zest Of life is
gone its aims are dead. Well for him if
all this is not irretrievable-if his malady
is not OF the deep seated organic sort which
forbids hope of cure, For many of the
ills to which flesh is heir, formerly sup
posed to be incurable, Hostetter's Som
ach Bitters is a sovereign remedy. Among
them are dyspepsia, chronic constipation,
rheumatism. debility and
These are remedial with the grand restor-

striking at the roo of the evils to the re.

Alexander Declines Proposals for
Peace.

LONDON, Nov. ga despatch from
Sofia this afternoon says: King Milan
sent a message under a flag of truce to
the Bulgarian advanced line, proposing
peace at the request of the powers. The
Bulgarian general sent the message to
Prince Alexander. The latter declined to
accept the proposition, on the ground that
Bulgaria had not received such request
from the powers. Prince Alexander re
fuses to consider the peace proposal until
the Servians have evacuated the Widdin
district, and the amount of war indemnity
payable by Servia to Bulgaria has been
fixed.

H. j. Ashley was the gentleman who
rode the horse which sustained the mis-
hap early Tuesday morning. Mr.. Ash
ley had ridden the animal but a short dis
lance, and explains that as he was pass
ing Graham's saloon at a moderate pace,
some one opened the door suddenly,
which frightened the horse. The animal
stumbled and fell in such a way that its
neck was as good as broken. The horse
afterwards died. Mr.. Ashley sustained
serious injuries to his left arm, which,
however, was not broken.

Mrs. Charles Russell died at the insane
asylum at Jacksonville, ILL.,, on Friday
last. Mrs. Russell was the wife of
Charles Russell, the well known colored
man, and who was sent to the asylum
from Cheyenne nearly two years ago, and
was at that time pronounced to be almost
hopelessly insane. One of the peculiar
tiles Of her case was that she had a great
desire to beg nearly everything that she
saw, especially in the clothing line, which
led to much difficulty in various ways.

This company will occupy the boards
at the Cheyenne opera house three days
lex week. The Denver Republican
speaks of it as follows:
Every seat in the Tabor Grand opera
house was occupied last night by an
audience which was so well pleased with
the many wonderful features OF the Kir
alfys production of "A Tour of the
World in Eighty Days" that it kindly
overlooked the long waits and the one or
two failures in the workings of the stage
~mechanisms, as incident to a first nights
presentation. IL is really remarkable that
the performance was as smooth as it was,
for a first nioht Of spectacle is attended
with more difficulties han even the most
~considerate Of theater goers imagine.
The scenery by all odds is the most varied
and effective that has ever been put on
the stage of the Tabor, particularly THE
Royal Metropolis, - THE Palace at Bor-
nco," and The New Eccentric Club, "
The costumes arc very handsome, and the
grouping and handling of the supernu.
maries is done with much effect. The
ballet movements are new and unique.
The corps of dancers is not large, but it
il composed of handsomely formed and
graceful young women, each of whom
dances well. The jersey Light Guards, %
a very novel movement, quite captivated
the audience. 1t is an odd %conceit, and
it was very c~leverly executed.

GOV. HoADLY's NEGLECT.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 26.-The Sun
dny Capital, Democratic organ, pays a
very high tribute to Gen. Grant as the
foremost general of this time and the
most prominent of American citizens
It criticises Gov. Hoadly severely for
having taken no action and says; mo
other governor of q great state has failed
to give official expression to the sorrow
of the people of his commonwealth ex-
cept Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio, the chief ex.
ecutive of the state in which Gen. Grant
was born. What excuse our eccentric
chief magistrate has for this neglect and
failure to pay proper respect to the
greatest man America has ever produced
is beyond che comprehension of the
Capital. But whatever he may subse-
quently do cannot atone for the neglect
he has thus far shown. The people of
Ohio expected proclamation from Gov
Hoadly on the occasion of Grants
death, and his failure to issue one will not
soon be forgotten" well-known citizen,

MIR. DANA'S DISTRESS.

In 1880 the Democrats. in their
national platform and in the presiden-
tial campaign, put "the fraud issue" at
the front and worked it for all it was
worth.
This was the first time there had been
chance to try the potency of that "is-
sue." The result was handsome de-
feat for the Democracy.
The people knew that the real fraud
was the Democratic party. They knew
how hard and by what subterranean
methods that party had tried to "cipher"
out victory in 1S76.
Knowing these things, the voters took
no stock in "the fraud ISSUE" and we
may as well remark here, as elsewhere,
that no party which exists by such means
as have secured and maintained Demo-
cratic solidity in the south can ever
accuse any other party of fraud without
inviting shower of stones to shatter its
glass windows
When Hancock had been defeated on
1.-The fraud ISSUE" and Garfield had been
elected in spite of it, sensible Democrats
admitted that the spell could not be
made to work. More than one Demo.
cratic organ declared that "the great
fraud" had been condoned. Some of the
leading Democratic newspapers said that
'the fraud issue" had proved worthless I;
that it ought to be buried out Of sight,
and one able Democratic editor indited
and printed an eloquent leader exhort-
ing the brethren to take "the great
fraud" or its ashes, up to the east front
of the capitol and have funeral.
But Editor Dana has never for mo-
ment wavered in his fidelity to this
paramount issue" In season and out
of season, when campaigns are on and
when cNmpaigns are of, whether the
Democratic party is on top, or its OPP
ponent is astride of its neck, Editor
Dana stands on the portico and shrieks

MEANING OF THE NAME GRANT.

In the book on family names by the
late Rev. William Arthur, the father of
ex-President Arthur, the meaning of the
name Grant is explained. The book is
entitled, "An Psychological Dictionary
of Family and Christian Surnames.'
"0f this name Playfair remarks that
it may be derived from the Saxon, Irish,
or French. In the Saxon Grant signifies
crooked or bowed. Thus Cambridge,
the town and university in England, so
called. signifies crooked bridge, or
rather bridge upon the Cam river, OF
the crooked or winding river. The Sax
sons called this town Grant Bridge. cam
in the British and Grant in the Saxon
being of the same signiticance--crooked
$50 Mons GIamphius, the Grampian
Hill, was called by the Saxons 'Gran2
Ben,' or the crooked hill, but we cannot
see how, from this Saxon word, the sur
name should be borrowed.
"In the old Irish, grand ha signifies
ugly, brave, valorous, and from thence
many are inclined to think that the sur,
name Grant is taken fr, m grand, which
in the Irish is sounded short, and thereby
the letter at the end of the word is
changed into I, and thus grand into
grant. The surname, il seems, was thus
pronounced in England about 500 years
ago, for Richard Grant was made Arch
bishop of Canterbury in the year 1929,
and is, in Mr., Anderson's genealogical
tables, as well as by others, called Rich
ard Grant. But the English historians
OF that time, writing in Latin, call him
Richard Magnus, which plainly shows
that they took Grant to be the same
with the French Grand and the Latin
Magnus, to which let US add that in the
old writs the article the is put before
the surname Grand

ALL WRONG.

OF course It is oil wrong, this decision
to bury the remains Of Gen. Grant in a
pleasure ground in New York. It is n
wrong that time will not soften, for the
un6tness of the place will be more and
more apparent as the years wear on.
II New York City were anything but
what it is-a city for trade and show
bloated with pride of its own greatness,
and thinking itself the majority on oil
occasions-its better sense, its national
ity, its patriotism would be manifested
at this time in a popular declaration that
Gen. Grant should find his place of sep.
ulture in the nations capital.
But no such movement can be ex-
pected. The commercial metropolis has
no sentiment. It views all questions
from the commercial standpoint. The
tomb of Gen. Grant will be 80 great
attraction" and the chance of possess.
ing such n show must not be missed.
Yet what is the use of protesting or
complaining The matter has been
fixed by an authority from which there
is no appeal, and the great wrong must
go on to its full consummation.
