1000 HOMELESS.
A Pennsylvania Town Wiped
Out by Fire.
Nearly Three Hundred Homes
in Ruins,
And 1000 People Homeless and
Destitute.
1000 People Homeless.

PTTTsBURG, June 1S.-The town of
Lubois, in the northern lumber regions of
Pennsylvania, was almost wiped out of
existence this afternoon by a confagra-
ton. Nearly 800 houses are in ruins and
1000 people are homeless. The fire is
still burning.
The fire fiend could not be controlled
until it had destroyed the whole business
portion of the own and several hundred
residences. The loss is put by insurance
agents at 81 900, 900, but this is a largo
estimate, and as most of the insurance is
written outside Of the town, the agents
who have placed the most of it cannot be
seen to obtain any figures.
An area one mile long by an average of
almost half a mile wide, extending from
the Rochester GOLFERS store to the Terpe
house and to the extreme end of Loug
street on the east side Of the town, is a
complete ruin. Blackened walls and piles
of Goals is all hat is left OF one of the
most prosperous towns within an hundred
miles. -Four thousand people are home
less and destitute to night, and in need of
immediate aid or they must suffer. The
flames spread so rapidly hat many of the
people escaped with barely the clothing
which they wore.
The origin Of the fire could not be de-
termiued.

claim that his availability is making a
stronger impression every day and he en-,
Joys the actual advantage that any CON
siderable rise for him and the falling of
of Harrison would cause a break in the
delegation from Indiana. If a majority
of the Indiana delegates should go to
Gresham he would become a formidable
candidate.
AT a meeting of the Missouri delegates

UNCERTAINTY
A Great Day of ~Skirmishing.
With the Republicans.
Thurston Chosen for Tempo,
rary Chairman.
No Decision as to the Principal
Nominees.
Tnurston for Chairman.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-To choose the
man who would probably preside over the
stormiest scenes of the Republican con-
vention was the delicate and important
task before the national committee when
its members assembled at moor to select a
temporary chairman. Call of states for
presentation of candidates for this position
at once began. California almost had the
advantage of being the first to nominate
its favorite. M. NJ. Estee of California
was urged as an anti-monopolist of the
first water. John M. Thurston of Ne
braska was presented in a very brief and
pointed speech by Church Howe of that
state. Stress was laid on his ability as a
p-arliamentarian and his brilliant speech
seconding Logan in the national conven-
ton four years ago.
The vote resulted 10 a tie. Chairman
B. f. Jones cast the deciding vote in
| favor of Thurston. The nomination was
made unanimous.
In the matter of the contest from the
third Maryland district it was decided to
admit the regular or Garry delegation.
The Virginia contest involving the seat
ing OF sixteen Mahoue district delegates
was reopened by Blair of Virginia NOV
ing a reconsideration. Elkins and Law
son of New York joined in opposing
strenuously any consideration. The re-
consideration was defeated &c to IL.
After n desultory discussion regarding a
few minor matters, the committee at 1
o'clock adjourned.

The Funeral Services.

PoTTsDAM, June 1S.-The second ser
vice over che remains of the emperor
was held at Fricderichskron castle last
evening. Emperor William, the empress
dowager, expresses Augusta and Victoria,
all members of the imperial royal families,
and the entire household were present.
AT the conclusion Of the service the coffin
was officially closed and placed on the
same state bier used at the funeral of
Emperor William.
This morning emblems of grief are
everywhere to be seen, huge fiagstaffs and
poles bearing banners with mourning de-
vices. At 1890 the troops assumed DO.
sition and the various dignItaries, deputa-
tons and warriors associations proceeded
to places. The ceremonies at Friederichs-
kron castle began with the performance of
Bach's Bald Rufst du Mich zu Hohren
Frieden," then choral "Jesus Meme Zu-
versicht" was sung. AS the last strains
died away Chaplain Koegel offered prayer,
and alluded in feeling terms to the doub-
lie grievous visitation upon the imperial
house and nation. The choral "Wenn
ich Einmal Sol Schieden'' was then sung,
after which the coffin was then removed
from the castle and placed on the funeral
car, the choir singing Il Know that My
Redeemer Liveth." The procession then
moved to the church and the mourners
took seats assigned to them.
After service Chaplain Koegel pro-
nounced the benediction. There was no
sermon. After the firing of a volley of
minute guns by the troops the mourners
departed. Before leaving the widowed
empress bent over the coffin and took a
solemn farewell look at her dead husbands
face. Court Preacher Persius repeated
the closing prayer and the choir intoned a
dirge. In the procession IRON the castle
to the church the prince of Wales walked
with the emueror and king OF Saxony.
Among those who took part in the pro-
cession were Prince Henry, second son of
the deceased emperor and hereditary
| prince of Sake einingen and generals of
the army, headed by Moltke. who carried
a marshal's staff. Bodies of the Prus,
sian corps of the guard and the dragons
| guards brought up the rear. The cere-
monies ended shortly before | o'clock.

Notes From THE Leader'sr Correspon-
dent at Hartyille.

Correspondence OF THE EADER
WENDovER, June 15.-Rumor has il
that the Cheyenne & Northern will in the
near future work on the Hart.
vile spur and also on its main line, and
rumor also says that the railway company
has ordered several locomotives to be used
on the construction trains at this end Of
the road.
1t is said that at present the station
earnings at Wendover are much larger
than the earnings of any station this side
of Cheyenne. The earnings for May it
Is said were about $27, 900. A great part
of this amount was cattle freight, and
the cattle are still coming. OF late there
has been but very little loss Of cattle on
the stock trains that have been unloaded
here.
Mr.. B. Mcguire is now doing a restau-
rant and hotel business here, and has
many friends who wish HIM success.
Your correspondent was lately in Hart
vile. Business there seems to be quite
brisk, but very few men are idle. Many
of the former residents and business men
of Lusk have established themselves at
the new camp. ~Six-shooters and gun
plays are conspicuous by their absence.
Deputy Sheriff Vaughn seems to be ever
present when disturbances are in progress
and allows no fights to the finish" He
seems to have the happy knack of sepa-
rating combatants before any serious
blows are struck.
News reached Wendoyer to-day of the
death of John Hauphotf yesterday after
an illness of only three hours. The de-
ceased was the son CT j. j. Hauphoff, a

The Permanent Chafrmanship.

CHICAGO, June Ism. NJ. Estee OF
California, will undoubtedly, from every
indication tonight, be the permanent
chairman of the Republican national con
v~cntion. The Pacific slope men were
beaten in the matter of the temporary or.
ganization only to capture this greater
honor. Estee will have the distinction of
supplanting no less a man than Warner
Miller, the prospective Republican nomi,
nee for governor of New York. BY com
mon consent Miller was up till tonight
the man for the place. The Republican
leaders here were from the start, it seems,
determined to be no whit behind what the
Democrats in St. Louis did in obtaining
the good will of the Pacific slope.
Late tonight it was rumored that an
effort would be made on the floor of the
convention tomorrow to prevent Thurs
ton from getting the coveted temporary
Craftsmanship. The anti-monopoly dele.
gates say they will certainly make a fight
in the convention provided they can get
an available man to stand against the
brilliant Nebraska railroad attorney. No
one has a word of objection Ito Thurs
ton personally, but they see a chance to
make capital by opposing him on account
of his business connections.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Skirmishing pre-
liminary to the great battle, which will be
formally opened in convention tomorrow,
was unusually active and aggressive in
the hotel corridors this morning. Groups
of politicians congregated early in the
labbies talking over the situation and
though nothing definite which the friends
Of any candidate could use as a basis for
enthusiasm, indications and counter pre-.
dictions were loudly and vigorously in,
dulged in. The doors of the headquar-
ters of the various state DELEGATIONS were
~invitingly open. Within, eager, badge
bedecked gentlemen stood, prepared to
seize upon passing delegates and impress
upon them the desirability, if not abso
Lutte necessity, Of nominating this or that
favorite son,

dacy seemed to invigorate the Allison

that Colorado and Iowa will act in har-
mony. Referring to the published state
ment that Iowa through a representative
in the New York conference yesterday as

The INrELLIaRNcRR has lately been pub
fishing some excellent poetry from the
pen Of Mr.. Throop, OF Hampshire county,
this State. The contribution entitled
"Boys Will be Boys" which appeared in
yesterdays paper, was one Of the best that
have been sent us by the versatile and tai
ented author. This morning VIC presentan-
other one ofMr. Throop's dialect poems. 1t
is the fret Of series Of "Uncle Gabrielle"
quaint essays in rhyme upon some leading
topics Of the time. In them will be found
much humor, not little pathos, and a
great deal OF wisdom. Some will picture
life among the colOred people of "the ole
plantation" with avividneas that will carry
many Of the ISTELudENcER's readers back
to days long gone.
We call the INTELLIaRNcER's lady friends
to the one Which appears to-dsy. In 1t
Uncle Gabriel earnestly champions their
cause, and 1t is possible that there are
those in whose hearts responsive chord
may be touched. Uncle Gabriel Is a little
hard on the meH-just little bit too gen.
eral, perhspE-but we can forgive. him this,
in view Of the fine sentiment to be found
in the verses.
