Mammoth Dry Goods Establish
ment In Buffalo Destroyed.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. lat 11.40 O'Clock
this morning flames broke out In Barnes,
Hengerer u Co.'S mammoth dry goods estab-
lishment. Nos. 256 and 25S Main street, and
in few minutes the whole interior was a
seething furnace. The employees became
panic stricken and made a wild rush for the
street. At noon the walls on Pearl street
fell in. 1t was reported that four girls EN-
ployed in that part Of the building were
buried In the ruins. At 1870 the front walls
fell in, and the whole structure was in ruins.
The efforts Of the firemen were at once di-
rected towards preventing the spread OF the
iire, and they were so far successful that the
fiames obtained no f00thold In any Of the adj
Jacent buildings Beyond damage TO the
buildings Immediately adjoining the origin
OF the fire and to the fronts Of those oppo-
site on Main street, and in the rear of Pearl
street, the loss Is confined to Barnes Hem
gerer q Co., and the building they occupied.
At O'Clock the fire was under cantrol. 1t Is
positively asserted by members OF the firm
that all the employees are safe and no lives
are lost.
ILATERl
The total loss, including that to other
firms, is S1,175,O0O; insurance, S9O5,OOo. The
store was said to be the largest and best
equipped in the business between New York
and Chicago. The firm employed 450 hands,
many OF them women, all Of whom were
taken out safely. Fireman win Boyd was
seriously hurt by falling through hatch
way. Fireman Phillips had leg broken by
falling wall. Among the employees there
were many narrow escapes. Conflicting
rumors are afloat Of serious lossof life.
Heavy Loss In Charleston.
CHARLESTON. S. c.. Feb. 1.-Two COM
partments of thesunion cotton press and 1000

THE SON ExoNERArED.
Edward Wentworth's Anger the
Cause of His Death.
Especial to the Press. ]

Especial 10 Tile ITeSS.l
AUGUSTA, Feb. 1.-The coroner's jury, in
the case of Ed ward A. Wentworth, who was
shot and killed at Sidney, Sunday evening.
adjourned at noon today, having been in
session since Monday afternoon. The cor
oner was L. ID. Carver, Esq, of Wateryille.
A post mortem examination was held, the
examining physician being DR.. Beasey of
Sidney, and it was ascertained that the bull
let severed the main artery between the
heart and the langs. All of the family were
examined and several of the neighbors. 1t
came out in the testimony that Wentworth
had treated his family in shocking manner.
He was large, powerful man, and he
would take up his wife, slight woman, and
throw her upon the floor with all his strength
Once he took knife to kill her, when she
was in bed, but person knocked at the door
and so prevented the murder. For five years
the wife had not been free from bruises
caused by the blows which he had inflicted.
From the evidence it appeared that Went
worth took hold of the muzzle of the pistol
when he attempted to wrest it from his son.
In pulling on the weapon, the boys hand
threw back the hammer, which, in return
ing, exploded the cartridge The jury rem
dered verdict exonerating the boy, Quincy,
entirely from all blame or intent to shoot his
parent.

TALK OF SETTLEMENT.
The Latest Rumors About the Work
of the Negotiators.

OTTAWA, Feb. 1.-The dispatches received
in this city from Washington represented the
fishery negotiations as being practically
closed. In response to messages from Wash
ington the departments here continue, how
ever, to forward information for the use OF
the convention to the British and Canadian
commissioners.
1t was intimated last night in a quarter
likely to be well informed, that an under
standing satisfactory to each Of the high
contracting parties would soon be reached.
Although extreme reticence Is still observed.
1t is Inferred from the language Of the men,
bers of the government spoken TO last night
that the proposed arrangements were OF a
temporary character, pending a complete
settlement, possibly by reference of the
points involving damages to a disinterested
over.
1t Is said further that Canada will then
open her ports to American shipping and
rescind or modify the recent offensive resO-
lutions against vessels carrying the stars and
stripes. In any case 1t now seems certain In
the Dominion that the rights claimed by
Canada will. in the future, be exercised in
spirit Of unusual forbearanee.

PENITENTIARY STONE
And the Trouble II Is Making for the
Democratic Convention.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-There is plan on foot
among the Chicago labor organizations that.
if carried out, will either keep the Democra-
tic national convention away from Chicago,
or else place all organized labor in anita
gonism to the candidates of the convention.
1t is being pushed by some of the enthusiasts
for an independent political labor move
ment for the purpose Of forcing organized
labor to abandon the old parties and join the
independent radical political movement
of late it has come to be generally believed
among labor men that not only did the con-
tractors on the auditorium building employ
non-union labor, but they used stone that
came from the Chester penitentiary, and the
most aggravating circumstance in the eyes OF
the staunch union men is that this stone was
hauled from the Chester penitentiary by the
Wabash, Chester and Western railroad. Of
which the principal owner is Charles b.
Cole. who, in the last session Of the leglsl a.
ture, introduced the bill making the boycott
a criminal conspiracy. The intention Is
again to bring a concerted movement OF all
the Chicago central labor organizations
similar to the one at the time OF President
Cleyeland's visit, and to petition the presi-
dent of the Democratic national committee,
not to hold the convention in the auditorium
building, although they would be glad to
have the convention come to Chicago. The
plan is to have a committee appointed, con-
sisting of delegates of the boycott or execu-
tive boards OF the various central b0dles,an
to inaugurate correspondence with the presl-
dent Of the national committee.

He said as it appeared to be the desire OF
the House to investigate the question ne

amended so as to create special committee.
Some discussion ensued as to the proper
form of the resolution, in course OF which
Mr.. Randall suggested an amendment ex-
tending the investigation into the existing
differences in the Lehigh and Catskill coal
region between the mining corporation and
the miners.
Mr.. White, of New York, suggested an
amendment extending the inquiry into the
question whether there has been any unlaw-
full combination of large bodies Of men to in
terrupt the business of the Reading railroad,
and deprive it Of freight destined for trans
portatiOn to points outside Of Pennsylvania,
and If such combination be found to exist,
that the committee be directed to report
what legislation is necessary to prevent and
punish such a combination in the future.

were consolidated into the following resolu-
tisn. which was adopted without division:
