Mr.. MannIng's Resignation.

The resignation of Secretary
Manning is the first actual break
in President Cleveland's Cabinet.
Other breaks have seemed i'm
minent, but until now none has
taken place. 1t was known that
Mr.. Bayard deeply regretted leav-
ing the Senate, and it has been said
several times that he would not re-
main. The appointment of Kelley,
who was dlscredited first at Rome,
and afterwards at Vienna, and
several other of his official acts
have given great dissatisfaction to
the Democrats. Mr.. Villas, by his
"oflensive partisanship" letter,
managed to disgust the reform
friends Of the President without
pleasing the Democrats. Secre-
tary Garland, since he involved
himself in the Pan Electric trouble,
has been so severely criticized that
his resignation has been almost
demanded by leading Democratic
papers. Still, this bundle of incon-
sistencies and antipathies in the
Presidents Cabinet has contrived
to hold on up to the time of Man.
ning's sudden and alarming illness.
1t was hoped at one time that his
recovery would be complete, but
that hope seems to be abandoned.
He accepts a leave of absence until
October, but this merely postpones
the appointment Of successor at
present.
Secretary Manning's retirement
will be a serious loss to the Presi-
dent, but the Reform party have
little reason to regret his with.
drawal, though they may regret
the cause of it. He has been the
upholder of the spoils system, as
the distribution of the patronage
of this state sufficiently shows. He
began by appointing Mr.. Eugene
Higgins. The appointment of Mr..
John MahOn, Mr.. John Quinn, and
Mr.. |. Freeman Rasln in the Gus
tom House, show how compliant he
has been to the wishes of Senator
German. In other states he has
shown a contempt for the spirit of
the Civil Service Reform laws
though, perhaps, nowhere so de-
cidedly as in Maryland.
The appointment of his successor
is for the present deferred, but the
differences to be drawn from the
visit of Hon. Robert McLane to
this country are worth considering.
1t is known that Mr.. Tilden strong
~ recommended to Mr.. Cleveland
the appointment of Mr.. McLane to
this office. Now, it has been known
for months that Mr.. Manning must
resign. The resignation takes no
body by surprise. Yet, just at the
time when this is to be announced,
does Minister McLane leave Paris
and arrive in New York, and hur-
ries through, to Washington with
out even stopping in Baltimore
among his may friends. Why
should this be thus l-BdltimOre

Furious Flames In LOUISVILLE.

LOIsvILLE, June "A t 800
o'clock this morning a fire was
dicOvered behind the stage of the
new Grand Theatre The canvas
and oil Of the scenery and stage
settings burned lerclJ, and IN five
minutes after the discovery Of the
flames under the stage blaying
furiously an alarm was sent in, but
the engines that responded were
unable to do anything toward ex-
tingushing the cOnilagration, which
by this time covered the middle
block between Third and Fourth
and Jefferson and Green streets.
A second alarm was turned in,
but the entire theatre, was then on
fire and resisted the greatest efforts
of the firemen. The blaze spread
to the rear of the saloons fronting
Oh Green and Jefferson streets, and
at daybreak the entire square was
a glowing mass of red-hot metal
and blazing wood. Enough engines
we're by this Oh the spot, and the
firemen directed their efforts to
stopping the spread of the flames.
The block was occupied by Joseph
OamozzI, Hoke Il Hughes, Brink
worth's restaurant, j. X. Gatele's
lottery, and the Kentucky
School of Medicine. The theatre
was in rear of these. All OF the
interior of the Grand Theatre, the
rear of the building occupied by
the Kentucky School Of Medicine,
the restaurant on Green street, the
rear of Denunzlo's fruit store, and
the barber shop on Jefferson street
were burned out, and serious dam
age was does to the other stores
on both Green and Jefferson
streets.
The theatre was leased to Whal-
len Brothers about four years ago,
and was one of the finest in the
South or West. The block was
valued at 100000, and is com
plete loss. The Green street front
which was occupied by the Medi-
cal College, is all that remains
standing. 1t is presumed the
whole property was insured, but at
this hour q A. NJ it is impossible
to discover where or for how much.
At 8 o'clock the flames broke out
with renewed vlgor in the Medical
College building and at the Jeiler-
Son street side of the theatre. The
roofs of all the burned structures
have fallen in, and the block is
threatened with destruction.

WASHINGTON, June g. There is
and to be a "jOlly row. pending
in the Senate District Committee.
Senator Riddlebergers resignation
last week is thought to be only the
forerunner of another and perhaps
two. 1t is alleged that Senator
Spooner intends to resign. The
Virginia Senator said that the
cause was the conduct of Senator
ingalls,, who is pictorial, overbear-
ing, and obstinate. The Matthews
nomination for recorder of deeds
is one of the straws on which the
members have split Matthews
is here himself. He is stopping at
Wizards Hotel, and is exciting
much interest among the colored
walters and employees. When be
comes into thediningrOOm the wait
ers made dive to be the first to
wait on him. He generally sits at
the table alone. His complexion is
that of a Spaniard, and one would
hardly take him for q cOlored man.
He has long, soft hair and a black
and big black eyes. He
has been quite active in his own
behalf but, as yet With no result.

Almost every one who comes, of
course, wants to see the President,
then his wife, but the most interst
ing feature to them is the costume
which Mrs. Cleveland wears. The
people have read 50 much Of the
rousseau that they would by far
rather see it than either the Presi-
dent or Mrs. Cleveland. "And Just

WHEELING, w. Va, June "A
shocking accident occurred at the
Ohio river railroad trestle, opposite
Thirty.second street, this afternoon.
At 8 o'clock a hand-car bearing
section boss Ed. Faust and four
hands was passing over the trestle.
Faust endeavored to check the
speed Of the car as they went over
by pressing down the brakes, but
losing his balance, fell forward in
front of the car. The wheels strik.
ing his body, threw the car off the
track into the almost dry bed Of

five men with it.

crushed about the head, and died
in a few minutes. VIM. Tucker

Two Murder Trials In Virginia.

PETERSBURG, VA, June g.
One of the most interesting murder
trials that has ever taken place in
Mecklenberg county, this state,
has just been concluded in the Cir

dents of the county, named re-.
spectively Richard Smith and Thos.
Harvey, became involved in diff.
Guilty growing out of a dispute
over the ownership of some land.
During the quarrel Smith shot
Harvey, killing him almost instant

fined ever since. At this term of
the Circuit Court he was tried and
convicted of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to be hang.

Court of Sussex, Quincy A. Balm
was placed on trial charged with
the murder Of his cousin, William
Z. Balm. The two men had been
on bad terms for long time, and
on the 9th day Of last February
they met on country road, when
William Balm said toQuincy Balm:
"You have been talking about
me long enough, and | intend to
kill YOU
And placed his hand on bis peck
ct as If to draw a pistol. AS he did
so, Quincy Balm shot him dead.
Quincy was arrested and placed

they we're discharged. The case
was continued to the September
term of court. The accused was
released on bail in the sum of one
thousand dollars for his appearance.
The dead man was a prominent
Republican.

was as follows "GOd the Father,

the elegance but utter simplicity of

manner with which she moved

New YORK, Nov 23-The chamber of
commerce, board of trade and Tammany
hall met in joint convention last night and
concluded to disband the present site OF the
city of New York During watermelon
time and previous to the election hopes
were entertained that the city would ad-
vance and become a great commercial
mart, hut now everything looks gloomy
as it has been discovered that the city was
in an ungarded moment located too close
to Wichita to even have the swing in the
cracker trade its promoters expected in the
beginning.

great ports Of entry on the same princi-
pal meridian OF course, New York has

ita's excellent sewer system and her
