A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
Burning Of the Mundine Hotel
at Rockdale, Texas.
All the Occupants but Two
Burned Alive.
Convention Gossip--All Dele
gates on the Ground.
A Terrible Fire.

RoCKDALE, Tex, June 4.-The most
horrifying calamity has befallen Rockdale.
This morning about 4 o'clock the Mum
dine hotel, a three story brick building,
was found to be on fire and was quickly
all ablaze. Inside were thirteen persons,
only two of whom escaped alive. DR.. W.
A. Brooks, the proprietor, was pulled out
OF the burning building with his hair and
beard singed off and otherwise badly
burned, leaving behind him his wife and
four children, who persisted. Pemberton
Pierce, representing the firm of George
II. Seigler of Philadelphia, Jumped from
the burning building and was killed. d.
M. Oldham of Dallas, representing the
firm of +. Cannon & Co. of Galveston,
escaped badly singed.
The mystery about the thing is that so
many should have persisted when none
we're higher up than the second story and
there were galleries and exits on both
sides of the buildings occupied by the
sleepers. No one was heard to call or
scream, all dying without a cry for help.
though a great crowd quickly gathered
and exhausted every effort to afford a
rescue. The pecuniary loss is small.

Humor seems to accord better with
our present attitude toward life than
poetry does. The humorists certainly
make more money than the poets. This
Is q course and brutal test, but 1t means
popularity, the approval of the spirit Of
the ago. We are scientific, and science
does not object to quips and cranks, es-
pecially when they are directed against
religious, spiritual or transcendental
tenets. The latter, on the contrary, can
not endure being laughed at with equa-
nimity. And, disguise 1t how we may,
this is a sign of weakness-not necessa-
d degtal t pbi16 5s51S1Oai 6s SPiI II @b ot t inss Oo1,
passes for those PHILOSOPHERS among us.
Laughter may be the expression Of
a contemplate as well as a con-
temptuous feeling; but 30 much the more
ought 1t to be impotent against what
ever Is secure In It's own strength and
vafue.-Juiian Hawthorne in American
Magazine.

THE SICK GENERAL.
Gen. Sheridan Attacked with
a Severe Hemorrhage.
The Worst Attack of All Dur.
ing His Sickness.
No Material Change at a Late
Hour Last Night.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The S:l5 bull.
letin says: Gen. Philip Sheridan had a
hemorrhage this afternoon which induced
a recurrence of heart failure. He was on
the verge of dissolution and his condition
Is still most pTecarious.
1880 P. M.-Gen. Sheridan is nov lying
weak and exhausted and in a comatose
condition. He has only rallied very
teebly from the attack which nearly caused
his death. The hemorrhage, which pre-
coded the attack of heart failure, came
from the lungs, but was not accompanied
by coughing. The blood emitted was
dark and thickly clotted. A recurrence of
heart failure followed closely upon the
hemorrhage, the pulse beat ieebler and
still more feebly, the breathing grew ex-
ceedlngly labored and heavy and the sick
mans face assumed a blush tint. His
heart ceased to beat for a few seconds and
the anxious doctors bending over him
thought all was over.
Prior to this time, however, extraordi-
nary measures had been taken to prevent
or lessen the attack which, the physicians
knew vas coming, and the system, when
it seemed that life was at an end, slowly
and weakly responded to the treatment
administered, and gradually a slight rally
took place. A g%alvanic battery was ap
piled to the neck aud back, and at last
the patient was brought from the verge
of the grave to consciousness again.
He lay back exhausted, and every one
in the room remained ~anxiously watching
and dreading a return of the attack. 1t
was the worst of all the attacks, and
yielded less readily to treatment.
He is extremely weak, but at times his
mind is clear, though the intervals of con-
seriousness are followed by others, during
which he appears to only slightly realize
what is going on around him. He does
not talk at all, and the doctors, ever since
his lungs became affected, have done all
in their power to dIssuade him from using
his voice.
A bulletin issued at 1915 a. m. says
there has been no material change in his
condition. The general has been sleeping
since last report.

Territorial

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The territories
opened their headquarters this evening at
Hurst's hotel, where they have secured a
good room at the corner fronting Broad
way and Chestnut. Arizona, Utah, New
Mexico, Washington Territory, Idaho,
Wyoming, Dakota and Montana have
pooled their issues here and the local
questions of free pass and free water have
been buried, while the delegates unite in
pushing what they choose to call the
rights Of the squatters' sovereignty. The
vital question with them is territorial
representation, and they will ask the com
mittee on resolutions to find room for a
clause compelling the president to select
appointees from residents instead of in
Hicting on the pion GERS of these regions
cultured Office seekers from Eastern
states who do not understand the require
ments of the section to which they have
been appointed.
A committee OF three has been APP
pointed to accumulate anything they may
deem e%xpedient for this alleged abuse OF
authority and the delegation will meet
again tomorrow morning to receive and
act upon their report before it goes before
tho convention. No nominations were
made Tor the committees, as the paucity
OF delegates from the territories does moi

erick o. Prince of Massachusetts was
made secretary of the conventions TEN

of Virginia, II. Il. Barrett of St. Louis,
Leopold Strauss of Alabama, A. o. Hall
of Minnesota, John Triplette of Georgia,
l.. b. Rowley of Michigan, Olney Newell
of Colorado, T. j. Single of Missouri, and

reading clerk of the house of representa-
tives, NJ. l.. Barrett of New jersey, TIC.
Walker of Iowa, R. FL. Henry of Mis-
souri,, j. o. Henderson Of indiana,
Joseph Carr of st. Louis and d. Sawyer.
Among other nominations for reading
clerk the name of Nicholas NJ. Bell was
suggested, but the committeeman making
the nomination was reminded that Bell
had become ar office holder since 1884,
and his appointment as reading clerk
while holding the position of superintend-
ent of foreign mails wa not proper. The
nam was accordingly withdrawn.
On motion of Dawson. of South Care
lima, j. B. Dickinson, of New York, was
elected official stenographer.
The committee then took up the uues-
ton of distributing tickets. For this pur-
pose the basis Of distribution at Chicago
in 1884 was adopted. The tickets were
brought. out in boxes with the badges.
etc, and delivered to the committee.
