H1rNERs RURNED TO DEATH.
A Fierce Row in Which a Lamp il Exploded and Six Persons ar' Roasted Alive.

A Fierce EsoW i'm Which Lamp is
 Exploded and Six Persons are
 Roasted Alive.
 WnKEsBARRE, Feb. 13.-Six persons were burned to death and four fatally injured on Sunday night as the result of drunken spree at Silver Brook, eight miles south of Hazelton, where J. s. Wentz & Go. operate two large collieries. A party of Hungarians went to Hazelton to attend the dedication of a new Polish church. All became drunk and returned home in the evening. When they got to the house of man named Maulick they indulged freely. Maddened by the effects of drink they engaged in fierce fight during which lighted lamp was over turned and exploded. In an instant the whole room was enveloped in flames and the clothes of those present were set on fire. They all rushed wildly for the doors which they found locked. In their drunken condi- ton some of them either did not know what to do or were unable to climb out of the win- dows and remaining in the room perished in the flames. Five eff the men and one girl were roasted alive. Their names are: John Elias, aged twenty; John Zeddo, twenty five; John Kobinge, thirty, married; Michael YaRkovitzoritsch, thirty; Mary Manlick, sixteen, and Paul Siskowitz, thirty. Man, lick and his wife and Peter Manski were fatally burned. Mrs. Mankl1ek threw her baby out of one of the windows to save it from the flames, but in fall- ing it WAS fatally injured. Half a dozen others were badly burned or injured by jumping out of the windows. The house, an old one constructed of wood, burn ed 80 rapidly that in less than half an hour it was totally consumed. Ths story of the turning over of the lamp is not believed by many, who think murder was committed in the house and it was fired to hide the crine

CARSON, NEv., Feb 13.-Some two months ago the contractors in boring an artesian well for Mrs. Langtry, the actress, near the foot of the mountain where the North Carson mine is situated, came on formation of rock which lay between the clay walls. This for nation was so hard that the drill bounded up, and it required seven feet of drilling to penetrate the clay wall. When the debris of the rock came out it attracted the attention of the borers. A few ounces of the rock was taken to the Bullion and Exchange bank, where it was assayed. The assay was $510 ton of rich silver ore. Since then experts have been making examinations seeking to trace the vein to it's croppings and determine the character of it's closing walls. Discover ies last week seem to show that the ledge runs all the way from 7 feet to 120 feet thick. The excitement over the discovery is now great, and it is probable much of the ledge runs through Mrs. Langtry's land. She bored for water and struck silver

A SMASH AT KNOXVILLE.

Passenger Cars Thrown Down An
 Embankment and Several Persons
 Iuiured-A New Haven Lady Slight.
 Iy Hurt.
 HARTFORD, Feb 13-A Times Unionville special says: A serious accident occurred here this forenoon at Richards Mill on the Northampton division of the Consolidated railroad. The regular passenger train on the Pennington branch which left New Hartford at 8:45 left the track and several ed of an engine, baggage and express car and passenger coach containing eight or ten passengers. The conductor was S.. W. Bentley and the brakeman John Doty. All the hands live in New Hartford. Where the accident occurred the track is in the shape of letter "S," and the train was going at it's usual speed-about twenty miles an hour. The inner rail of the curve spread outward for about two hundred yards and the two cars were thrown down an embank ment of forty feet in less than a minute. The engine did not leave the rails, but the two trucks of the tender escaped, going down the steep bank. The cars brought up at the foot of the bank on their sides. Luck fly no harm resulted from stoves being up- set. Inside the coach the passengers were l terribly frightened, being hurled with great violence amidst flying seats. As soon as pos sible the passengers were taken out. Miss Ella Brockway, of Barkhampstead, was very badly cut about the face, and gash extends | from her forehead across from her head nearly to her neck. She was also injured | in the chest and was unconscious when taken | to a neighboring house, where Doctors Horton and Edgerton attended her. They pronounce her wounds not necessarily fatal. ! The Rev. William Miller, of New Britain, | was quite badly hurt in the spine and back
 as well as receiving large bruise on the back l of his head. He was in much pain from the time he was carried from the wreck until 3 o'clock, the time of this dis patch His limbs were paralyzed l when he tried to walk away from the car and | fears are entertained that his injuries are serious. His back was hit by the moving back of a seat and his head by flying cush- ion. These two cases are the worst results
 of the disaster. Scarcely passenger got out
 of the upset with no bruises, but at the time
 the Times reporter reached the place at 2:3O
 the others had scattered and he was unable
 to get their names and the extent of their ln-
 iuries. Brakeman Doty was injured about
 the left hip, but can walk. Conductor Bent
 ley was hurt in the back and suffered con- siderable pain. Miss Hungerford of New
 Haven and four Germans living at Collins vile were slightly injured. The superinten dent of the road is at. Unionvil1e and hal
 effected settlement with Rev.. MT. Millel for his injuries and is making arrangement

ANOTHER VICTORY.

Tho New Ravens Defeat the NEerldens
 to O-The Bridgeports Win From
 Waterbury 6 to 5-To-Ntght's Game
 With the BOstOns.
 The New Ravens braced up last night and defeated the Meridens in a we'll played game, 8 to O. The New Ravens lost one goal by fouls. Dunning and Cunningham did not play we'll together. Something was certainly the matter with Cunning, for the players would take the ball away from him without half trying. Valiant worked hard and Han naford played the same brutal game for which he is so noted.
 Connors and Newcombe worked together with clock-like precision and they did some beautiful playing. Twice did Newcombe cage the ball only to come out again, but Connors was on hand 10 recage it. They were we'll backed up by Watson and Hallett. Full Ter made several grand stops.
 In the latter half there was some old time slugging, and as the players saw that the referee paved no attention to it they kept it mp. Such refereeing as Daniels did last night is not what will draw people to a polo game The COURIER has never said 8 word against any referee, but the way Daniels let the players knock and hit each other last night was simply and purely disgraceful. Daniels
 
 or other he doesn't seem to make base ball and polo rules jibe. In the first ! half Ha9naford hit Hallett in the chin and the latter had to bandage the | wound. Cunningham afterward hit Hallett | and the latter hit back. Then Hannaford, the most brutal player that ever put on l skates, purposely struck Hallett, and the latter turned and hit back with his stick The referee calls foul on Hallett. No one can blame player for hitting back when he sees that the referee doesn't stop the attacks ! made on him. If Daniels would hunt up the rules he might get better posted. He would { find that everyone of those three players should have been fined $10 for the first and ! $20 for the second offense. The rules make 1 no provision whatever for calling 8 foul | when one player strikes another. Are we to have the rules enforced in this league the same as in Massachusetts or nota This is a matter for the secretary of the league to look l into. The score:

Fiftieth COngress--First Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1,

WASHINGTON, rep. 10. SENATE.-Mr. Riddleberger's fight against secret sessions in general and against the British extradition treaty in particular was recognized in the shape of large and very handsome floral harp placed on his desk this morning by the Irish society called the Clan na-Gael.
 Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By MT. Palmer for the better protection of human life on merchant steam vessels.
 By Mir. Voorhees, to increase the pensions of those who have lost limb or two limbs or both eyes.
 The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the Blair educational bill and was address ed by MT. Plumb in opposition to it. The bill was laid aside and the resolution in regard to the ineficiency
 of the postal service was taken up.
 MT. Reagan addressed the Senate iE defense
 of the administration of the Pestoffce depart ment and argued that senators who had ar raigned that administration had been misled by false clamor or else that in consequence of the economy and conspicuously good man agement of the department it had been thought necessary for political purposes to offset it's effect by getting up charges of in efficiency. In the course of his argument he undertook to repel the assertion that very nu- merous removals from office in the depart ment had been made for political motives and he gave the number of postmasters who had
 
 MT. Hoar asked Mr. Reagan whether he re- ally claimed or believed that those resigna. tions were voluntary-were not commanded by the President.
 Mr. Reagan replied that his only source of information on the subject was the report of the Postmaster General in which he spoke of these voluntary resignations. There had been very few removals for political reasons and these few were for active offensive partisan ship.
 MT. Honr remarked that the statement showed very extraordinary instance of vol untary resignations of office. MT. Reagan-No doubt the Postmaster General has done great many things which seem very extraordinary to the Senator from Massachusetts.
 MT. Hoar-A great many. Senators Chase and Elldridge endeavored without success to get MT. Reagan to state why the postmaster of Providence had been removed from office in face of the fact that the management of that postofiee had been highly approved by the Postmaster General. The resolution went over. The bill for the relief of Mrs. Harriet H. Robinson of Maiden, Mass, was taken up by unanimous consent and passed. The Senate at 5 o'clock adjourned. HoUsE-After the introduction of a num- Der of bills the House called up the bill pun ishing the advertising of lottery tickets in the District of Columbia and after long debate the bill was referred to the committee on ju- dietary: Yeas 117, nays 115. MI.

8 crooked pin, and leap as if dynamite had exploded under his chair. This visitation would be only prick like a fiea-bite, and yet he sits for days in the torment of chronic pains. The person so attacked resolves to put off, and postpones very often until too late. Then he finds his disease developed into an inf1ammatory stage, or into dan gerous type of 8 worse malady. There IS a remedy, he should know, that does not temporize with anything in the nature oI pain, but goes to work on straight job, sear5-Ies out the pain-spot, and gets there without faltering and without failure. For instance: "Ten years ago." says MT.

John B. Schultz, Bloomington, Ills, April 8, 1887, writes that he suffered three years with rheumatism in his limbs, stitches in his side and paralysis Found no relief till he used St. Jacobs Oil. One bottle cured all pain, and he has had no return. Mir. Ira Brown, Private Banker, Chicago, Ills, April 8, 1887, writes: "Lay flat on my back three months used St. Jacobs Oil and was cured; never been troubled since" These examples show how to get the right thing, to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way.

 Q. "What do you think of Mir. Cleve- lands strength in nomination for a second term?' A. "I have no opinion about it. It would be impossible to give forecast. One thing may say, however. 1 have no doubt that Mir. Sherman's chances have been very much strengthened by MT. Blaine's letter and the same might be said about MT. Allison. The friends of Mir.

 Sherman men Glad of Ht.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-A special from Pitts burg, Pa, says: Congressmen Ben F. But terworth of Cincinnati, C. Thompson of Portsmouth and J. J. Pugsley of the Twelfth Ohio district, accompanied by Fred C.. Mus sey, the Washington correspondent, were in the city this morning en route to the Union Republican league banquet at Columbus, O., tonight. They were all overjeyed at Blaine's withdrawal from the presidential race, and although neither went so far as to say it shelved him, they all predicted that it would result in the nomination of John Sherman of Ohio for the presidency at the national Republican convention. Mir. But terworth said: 1T think Mir. Blaine means to
 
 friends and if they can secure his nomina- tion he will certainly be a candidate. He reminds me of Julius Cesar when refusing the crown offered him by Marc Antony. Each time he puts it by less firmly than be- fore. I think, however, that his letter will have the effect of bringing Senator Sherman more prominently before the people and per haps securing his nomination. He is the unanimous choice of Ohio and would, of certainty, be elected if nominated. But then Mr. Blaine has great personal following and is by nc means politi- cally dead. In the face of this his declina- tion is most manly and was doubtless prompt cd by some private reason more than anything else" At this juneture MT. Mussey said that when Murat Halstead met Mir. Blaine in Europe recently Blaine told him he was un- decided what to do regarding the presidency. He did not know whether to make a contest not. His wife was in poor health and ob- jected to his making another canvass, claim ing that defeat would ruin him and perhaps kill him. MT. Butterworth predicted that if Blaine is not nominated for president he will go back to the Senate and that Senator Hale will go into the cabinet if Republican president is elected. Congressmen Thomp- son and Pugsley said Sherman's nomination ,s1
