A Foolish Buffalo Mans Attempt to
Settle a. Dispute-His Terrible Fall.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 25.-A week age
dispute /; rose as to the relative heights
of the steeples OF st. Mary's and st
Michaels Catholic churches. One Of the
parties to the discussion was Charles Sulli
van, and he volunteered to decide it. He
was q carpenter, and considered himself an
expert in building spires.
This afternoon he procured couple oil
spools of wire, and at $40 O'Clock went
with friends to the man in charge of the
bells in the tower of st. Michaels Church,
on Washington street, and assured him he
had an order from one OF the church au-
thorities to GO into the belfry. The bell
man refused to let him 60 without an or
der from the priest.
While the parties were arguing, Sullivan
slipped past and clambered out OF the
tower to the roof. and seizing the lightning
rod began to ascend the steeple He went
up rapidly and without any obstacle until
he nearly reached the foot OF the cross at
the apex of the tower, when the rod broke
and no foff hcdurung u ufsUancU OF -tuo fuut,
making one complete revolution in his
descent. He struck the roof with sound
like the report OF q gun, breaking through
the tin with which the roof is covered.
His body lay upon the roof without mo-
ton. Aid was called from a neighboring
engine house and the firemen, by means OF
extension ladders. brought the body down
and the patrol wagon took it to the
morgue.
Death had evidently been instantaneous.
The victims neck and back we're broken.

two years later was graduated. On leay-
ing college he began in Cincinnati, with Hon.
B. Storer as his preceptor. the study OF
law, and in 1854 he entered upon the prac.
tice OF his profession in indianapolis. A
legislative investigation, in which hesecured
employment through the Democratic Gov
ernor, Joseph A. Wright. brought him into

into politics, and with superior oratorical
ability he coon became known rs. one Of

HEADED FoR THE BLACK HILLS.
After the Men Who Robbed the Northern
Pacific Railroad Train.

MILES Cry, M. T., June 25.-[Special to
The MINER. deputy Hood, one Of the
posse from Custer county after the train
robbers, has just returned from q search in
the country east OF Fort Custer.
Hood and his companion left Sheriff
Irvine at the commencement OF tine search,
they taking q trail le.sdiss-eaay from
Irvine's ronte. They had arrangsu uU
make signals to each other il anything
turned up. Hood soon
DISCOVERED A TRAIL,
and being an old plainsman, knew what it
was. He gave the signs agreed upon and
waited reasonable time, but no response
came. He and bis companion then set
out independent OF the other outfit,
The trail was successfully kept up until
the big storm OF Tuesday night. At that
time they thought they were close upon
the fugitives. But there was nothing to do
but hunt place OF shelter and comfort
themselves as best they could.
They were forced to lie in camp all
Wednesday, it being impossible to do any
thing else. There being no. signs OF clear
ing. Hoods companion, Deputy Reed, Of
Yellowstone County, grew uneasy and rest
less, and wanted to go home, as he had
business to attend to. Reluctantly Hood
agreed, and the two men picked their way
THROUGH RAIN, WIND AND MUD,
swimming creeks and going without any
thing to eat. Having good horses they
made the trip in incredibly short time.
Hood is positive that but three men
are all who were ever trailed away from the
scene of the train robbery. Sheriff Irvine
wrote to the Office here from Sheridan,
Wyoming, under date OF June 81. Hesaid
he reached there Wednesday night. 1t was
about 200 miles the way he went. He
has good and reliable information that
there were but three men concerned in the
robbery. He thinks they are now in that
part of the country,
HEADED FOR THE BLACK HILLS.
The sheriff started out from Sheridan on
Friday morning, refreshed and with @ new
o utfit of horses and men. He may strike
for the Hills, and will stay out all summer,
but VIII at he gets the robbers or the scalps.

CHICAGO. June 24.-lSpecial to the

boom win receive fresh start upon the
reassembling OF the convention.
The delegates from the South are com.
planning very bitterly in regard to remain

that a result would be arrived at before
now.
DeYoung is confident that Alabama and
Arkansas will start the ball rolling for
Blaine, with Colorado and California fol-
lowing, and then carry Blaine with a
hurrah. The galleries will be packed in the
interest OF the movement. The Blaine
leaders have remained in the background
so far, but tonight they were ont in force
in the rotupda Of the Grand Pacific, Palmer
and Leland Hotels. The cry is
LET Us UNITE ON BLAINE.
The Alger men are wiling to combine
and take second place Tor their candi-
date. The argument they advance is that
General Alger il not mixed up with any Of
the factional fights which exists in Indiana
between Harrison and Gresham. And not
only that but it would infuse the old war
spirit into the campaign, which General
Logan used TO do.
DeYoung's utterances against Harrison
have set his friends to thinking. They SAY
that the Pacific Coast delegation, in their
eagerness to boom Blaine, have
USED UNFAIR MEANS
to kill off Harrison.
More ill-feeling exists in regard TO the
methods that have been employed by the
Blaine men to down every man who has
been mentioned in connection with the
Some say that it is Depew movement,
and that Blaine, will be nominated and
then resign, and the committee will place
Depew at the head.
