THE MONEY PUT UP.
The sum of s5,sa5 Paid the Agents
of Libby Prison.

Mr. w. II. Gray yesterday placed in
the hands OF Rawlings a Rose, agents
for the owners OF the Libby Prison pro-
perry, s., 1875, that being the one fourth
OF the purchase-money required as the
cash payment. The proposed deed and
the abstract Of title have been examined
by James Peasants, Esq, as attorney
for the purchaser, and found to be all
right. All that now remains TO be done
is for the Southern Fertilizing Company,
the present owners of the property, to
pass q resolution directing their presi-
dent TO sign the deed. Mr.. Rawlings
says everything will be completed to-
morrow, and Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Rawlings
expect to spend to-day resting from their
labors at Old Point.
Mr.. Gray hopes to get possession of
the corner building by May the Doth,
and will then at once proceed to take it
down and ship it to Chicago. If he
meets the payments as they become due
he is entitled to have full possession by
July the LIST, by which time all the COM
pany's machinery can be removed else
where.
Mr.. Gray has evidently had some little
fear that be would be interfered with in
his enterprise for he said yesterday
that he had visited Mayor Darlington
at the latter's home and received assn
RANGES from him that no molestation at all
was to be apprehended. He said, too.
that the Mayor was of opinion
that there would be no objection to his
occupancy of portions of the street, as
is usual where building is being taken
down. 1t is in contemplation to wash
from the floors all the accommodations OF
dust and dobriS consequent upon the
use OF the building as mandatory OF
fertilizers, and permission may possibly
be asked to attach hose to the street by
drants (plugs) for this purpose.
Mr.. Gray is of the opinion that he is
likely to lose a good deal of the Libby
material by the hands of relic-hunters.
and he seems determined to guard
against it while it is being RACED and
while it is en- route to Chicago.

lBy Telegraph 70 the Dispatcn-l
NEW YORK, February 25.-To-mor-
rows World will contain three-column
interview with Blaine, which has been
cabled from Florence byT. G. Crawford.
for some time the Worlds correspondent
in Washington, and now in Europe. Mr..
Blaine, in the course of long contersa-
ton, distinctly asserted that under no
circumstances whatever would he allow
his name to be used in connection with
the next presidential nomination. He
insists on the sincerity of his with
drawal and asserts that he had
made up his mind thereto long ago.
He considers, first, that any man whose
name has been associated with defeat in
presidential campaign owes it to his
party not to allow himself to be renom-
mated and secondly, ne is unequal to
facing the fatigues, worry, and ex-
element of another canvass, all the more
as he would feel himself bound to work
as hard as on previous occasions.
Mrs. Blaine and other members of
his family are most emphatic
in their approval of his with

hasty nor recent in its decision. Mr..
Blaine will not return from Europe until
June, and not until after the Republican
convention. He declines to express him
self on the subject of the Republican
candidates now in the field, but asserts
that he did not retire in favor of any
particular one of them. He is convinced
of Republican victory, basing his convic-
ton in particular on the tariff question.
When Mr.. Blaine was asked the direct
question whether he would I'M
der any circumstances permit his
name to be used again as a candi.
date, he replied in the most emphatic
negative, but then added: 81 do not
wish to make any new affirmatons upon
the subject. have said all that | wish
to say upon this subject in that letter.
That letter, as you must know, WAS not a
hap-hazard, of-hand affair 1t was the
result of much deliberation and careful
thought. You will remember that told
you in Paris last December that | had no
intention of being a candidate again, and
that 1 had practically made up my mind
at that time to forbid the use of my name
in the approaching convention.

seeking q more comfortable seat.
No other members Of .he party were
TO be seen. A train official, however. in
formed the Dispatch reporter that they
had not retired, but were resting. Mrs
Cleveland, suffering from the fatigue Of
travelling, was reclining in the sleeper.
The male members of the party will
no doubt spend the remaining hours Of
the trip in smoking, talking, &c. The

The train was literally filed with flow
ers and fruit. Several lunches of oranges
were seen piled together near one Of the

Trains Wrecked and Burned.
tBy telegraph to the Dispatch-l


DENVER, COL, February 25.-This
morning near Cotton, Neb., two trains
on the Union Pacific road collided with
terrible force, the engines telescoping
each other and the cars piling up on top
of the wreck, which Immediately took
fire, burning a large number OF cars
including the baggage, express, two Pull.
man, and one emigrant car. The heat
from the fire was SO intense that all the
telegraph-wires running alongside the
track were melted.
All on board escaped with slight
bruises, excepting Engineer Powell, who
was instantly killed. The passengers
VINO we're not injured assisted those who
were caught in the wreck to escape and

Committee on Rules.


WASHINGTON, February 25.-The Sen
ate Committee on Rules acted to-day
fayorably upon Senator Blackburn's re-
solution to make it not in order for the
Senate Committee on Appropriations to
report back an appropriation bill, except
the urgent deficiency bill, within five
days after its receipt from the House Of
Representatives. The original resolu-
ton said ten days, but the committee
amended it. This is a notification to the
House OF Representatives that the
Senate will not hereafter consent 10
an adjournment sine die until it
can see its way clear to an oppor-
tunity of at least FIVE days within
which to consider the appropriation
bills. Last session three important bills
reached the Senate for the first time
within two days OF the final adjourn
ment. The committee also agreed to so
amend the rules that no debate or re-
marks shall be in order upon the presen-
tation of petitions or memorials. The
Platt resolution for open executive SEES
sions was talked over for an hour without
any definite result. 1t was developed that
the majority of the namely,
Senators Aldrich, Sherman, and Black
burn-are at least in favor OF some modi-
fication of the existing rules with regard
to treaties and nominations. Another
meeting will be called soon to consider
the matter further.
