tration committee of the National Base

Der" session to-day at the Fifth Avenue

and this would deprive the National
League and American Association Of any
good talent which might be developed in
smaller leagues.
The Committee adjourned late this af-
ternoon. Pittsburg brought in an ap-
plication for the return OF

HORRIBLE CALAMIrIE.

The gentleman referred TO WAS among
those passengers that went 10 the stern.
Upon reaching the deck he graSped his
two children one At time and threw
them into the river.
Before he and his wife could follow
the flames had reached them and they
were burned TO death
The FIRE burned 80 quickly that it was
impOSsible TO see who was saved and who
was lost. The deck was crowded with
roustabouts and deck passengers, thirty OF
the latter having got on the vessel at the
New Texas landing Just above where the
boat was burned. Nearly all OF these
were lost.
While the passengers and crews were eS-
Gaping from the boat, the steam pipe blew
up and Was hurled 800 yards in the air.
The force of the explosion caused over
twenty bales of burningeotton TO be hurled
high in the air.
Immediately after the explosion, shrieks
were heard coming from the stern of the
vessel. For an instant two colOred women
were seen standing on the galley Just
back OF the wheelhOuse and the neck in
slant they they were hidden from view by
the smoke and flames.
Those who escaped were taken away BY
the steamer BY the steamboat Stella Wild.
When the Wild reached the river 3 loud
cry for help came from the middle Of the
stream A boat Vas lowered and was
quickly pulled in the direction of the cry.
Through the darkness the crew saw the
figure Of a man grasPing bale Of cotton,

A Cincinnati Company to supply the
Towns Along the Upper Ohio.
MAYsvILLE, KY, December l4.-ln
1883 an oil company was organized in
West Virginia for the purpose of prospect
ing for oil in the adjoining portion Of this
State. They prospeCted in Martin county,
but instead of oil found gas. At depth
of about l, 300 feet they discovered two
natural gas deposits with flow estimated
at about 5000, 900 cubic feet daily.
Hearing of this discovery, some moneyed
men from Cincinnati formed IN incorpora-
ted company styled the Kentucky and
Cincinnati Natural Gas and Fuel
Company, and some time last fall
they purchased these two wells, from which
natural gas has been continuously flowing
for the past three years. They also bought
about 4, 900 acres of land in the region of
the wells. This company now proposes
to convey this gas in pipes from Martin
county TO Cincinnati-a distance Of about
200 miles They have already contracted
with Catlettsburg, Ashland, Portsmouth
and Ironton to supply fuel gas at cost at
least 10 per cent less than the present fuel
bills, and are now negotiating with the
citizens of Maysville

THE MeQUADE TRIAL.
Serious Charges Against aJuror-The Pris
oner as Impassive- as Usual

oner as Impassive. as Usual
NEW YORK, December 14.-Hundreds
of people hocked to the General Sessions
Court to-day, but were forced to remain
outside as no curiosity-seekers were al
lowedto enter 1t was rumored that Dis
triet Attorney MARITIME had secured testi-
money that Juror Jacob Rosenberg, was
a firm friend of Keenan,, Spells and Others,
and that he had sworn falsely in his ex-
animation as a foreman. 1t was expected
that Mr.. MARITIME would draw juror, thus
causing mis-trial or that Rosen-
berg would be arrested for
perjury. When court opened the
counsel for the defense and the peopl
alternately held long consultations with
the Recorder, taking half an hour. Mr..
MARITIME was evidently excited. The Re-
corder looked glum. Mr.. Newcombe
looked very serious, but McQuade was as
impassive as usual.
Finally the Recorder nodded to the de-
fense and said: go on, Mr.. Grady"
John Lotus was the first witness. He
formerly lived in the house with and occu-
pied by Mclaughlin in 1884. Was MEM
Der of the Tammany Hall general commit
tee of the fifteenth district, Of which
Mclaughlin was Alderman. He had
never seen any meeting OF Aldermen
there. On Cross-examination witness ac-
knowledged that it was his custom to go
down street nearly every evening, and
that he knew nothing about New York
business.
w. J. Cawley, clerk in the Hudson River
r. r. office, testified that he had room
off the back parlor of McLaughlin's house
in 1884 and never saw any of the Alder
men but Fullgraff at the house. The
latter was there twice some weeks apart.
Mclaughlin was visited by committee
men in parties of four or five. These visits
were in the evening Witness testified
positively that Mclaughlin did nOtgo to
Chicago, but he did 60 into the country for
the summer in the latter part Of May 1884.
Witness did not know all the Aldermen Of
1884. Had never seen McQuade at Nc
Laughlin's.
The defense here rested their case. The
people called Frederick C.. Crawford q re-
porter for the World. He testified that he
wason the same paper in 1884. He knew
Maloney, Keenan,, Dempsy and Delacy,
and was in Montreal both in April
and in June. Crawford is
the reporter who made his
fame by interviewing Keenan,
and Maloney for half an hour and then
asking them if Keenan, and Maloney were
in that city.
He testified that they were stopping at
the Windsor hotel. The defense objected
to the attempt to prove that these men
were out of this jurisdiction as incompe-
tent against this defendant Over ruled.

Gould After More.

ST. LOUIS, No, December 1.-THE
Globe Democrat this morning says; Mr..
Gould is now figuring for an extension OF
his Missouri Pacific system, which will,
when built, probably put a new face on
Southwestern railroad matters, and will in
vOlve an entire Encouragement of the
Southwestern system. The extension
proposed is from Hannibal, Mo-, in 4 bee
line northeast to Chicago, passing through
Peoria and Streator, 4 distance of two
hundred miles. The facts, as learned,
are as follows: When the Chicago, Bur.
lington and Quincy road acquired the
Hannibal and st. Joe years ago, it was
agreed that the Missouri Pacific and the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy roads
should not build into one anOther's terri
tory. In the past year or more Quincy
people have not held to their agreement,
and have built down into what Mr. Gould
regards his territory, and ever since doing
so they have anticipated retaliatory ac-
ton. Now it's about coming. II Mr..
Gonld should carry out his plan, the ex-
tension will, with Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, also form bee-line from Chicago
to Houston and Galveston.

States as shall be in excess of the rate of 3
per cent per annum, by the payment in
gross of such sum in each case as shall be
equal TO the aggregate present worth of
such excess of interest thereon. And for
the purpose of aScertaining such present
worth, the interest upon the amount paid
by the United States in anticipation of
such excess of interest shall be computed
at the rate of 3 per cent per annum, rein
vested quarterly so as to secure to the
United States the benefit of compound in
terest thereon.

interest in anticipation of the maturity
thereof shall have been accepted by any

may prescribe, so as TO show the reduced
rate Of interest thereafter to he paid there

and cancelled, and for the coupons so can
celed shall be submitted coupons bearing
the reduced rate of interest, and the bonds
so stamped shall be receivable by the
Comptroller of the Currency rs security
for the issue Of the circulating notes Of
any national banking association to the
full extent of the par value of the said
bonds, instead of 80 per cent. as now re-
quired by law.

the Secretary Of the Treasury to deposit
from time to time with any national bank
ing association any portion of the money
in the Treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated upon the security of an equal amount
of the bonded or other indebtedness of
the United States; provided the whole
amount of special deposits thus made
shall not atauy time exceed 81, 900. 0OO, 900;
all such deposits shall be subject to call
upon such notice as the Secretary of the
Treasury may see fit to prescribe.

last night, and the searchers for the bodies
of the two victims were rewarded by find
ing a portion of that of Clerk Arthur ".
Palmer, who was known to have perished
in the flames. One Of the wOrkmen turned
up with his pick pair of shoes crushed
and out Of shape and somewhat charred
A heavy weight had rested upon them and
through the open cracks in the leather, and
where the upper was partially torn away
fromthe sole, crushed and bloody flesh pro-
truded, half charred by the fierce heat to
which it had been subjected. The feet
had evidently been entirely broken from
the legs and the body carried to a lower
level, for no other portions Of the body
were found at the time. The shoes were
evidently those Of Palmer, for they were
found at about the spot where his desk
would have fallen in the crash and it is
known that Palmer had the same kind of
shoes. No portion Of the body Of Malone,
the porter, was found.
