 Into New York Street.
 NEW YORK, Dec 1.-The residents of Ridge street, in the vicinity of the Ache Benjamin synagogue, which is just above Delaney street, were thrown into a fever of excite. ment late yesterday afternoon by terrific noise like clap of thunder. It seemed to come from the vicinity of the synagogue. Scarcely had the noise subsided when from the bath house, which is just beneath the place of worship, there suddenly appeared upon the street dozen men and women in a semi-nude and terribly frightened condition, yelling and screaming and hiding behind each other to screen their nakedness
 It did not take them long to find place of refuge, but their wild screams and the very unusual spectacle they presented soon caused an immense crowd to gather in the street Two of the men had blood streaming from wounds i'll different portions of the body Their wounds were not dangerous, and they were cared for by kind neighbors.
 It was discovered that the little boiler iu the cellar that heats the water for the baths above had exploded, and all the furniture ir the basement and cellar was torn and shat tered in a ruthless manner.

LAST DAY OF THE TRAMP.
Littlewood and Herty Making Grand
 Race for First Place.

Race for First Place.
 NEW YORK, Dec 1.-Yesterday was pre- erninently Littlewood day in Madison Square Garden. In spite of all Dan Herty's plucky efforts the stocky Englishman forged to the front and constantly widened the gap which separated them. At o'clock he was only one mile and a quarter behind Alberts record for the time How he kept up his rapid gait wss a mystery to every one. He was looking more jaded than any other man on the track except Moore, yet his stomach retained everything his trainers handed him to eat, and his feet never Tagged His appetite, however, was not quite equal to what it was on Thursday, when he ate thirteen mutton chops, two broiled chickens and two loaves of bread without entirely satisfying his hunger
 Herty, who has never quite recovered from an injury received years ago, is now phys1- cally incapacitated from improving on the gait which he has used since Thursday He was hardly able to go faster than walk last night, although his whole appearance sug- gested great reserve power. Were it not for the trouble alluded to he would be by far the best man in the lot. Everything con sidered, he is a marvel of endurance and pluck.
 Moores mortgage on third place is not ex- actly an ironclad one. Cartwright was only ten miles behind him, and rolling along with an ease and grace which promised excellent results The Philadelphian looked freshel on Thursday, but he has evidently resigneo all claims to first money.

Derbv,s Electric Road Disabled.

BIRMINGHAM, Conn.,, Dec. 1.-The fly wheel, twelve feet in diameter, of the engine at the electrical road plant in Derby flew in pieces. Almost one-quarter of the roof of the building was blown off One piece of the wheel, weighing POO pounds, was found 100 feet away, and several others passed through the walls of the building Engineer Whitney had a narrow escape, being almost in the line of the flying iron. The accident was probably due to the fact that the wheel has been run at high speed lately, as it failed to furnish current enough for the road while running at the normal rate. The loss to the building is estimated at S1,000. The road will be disabled for about a week. the horse car line using it in the meantime.

first invaded by British colonial troops; the American patriots first attacked Great Britain there; the war of 1872 was fought on that border. 1t is the naSural point of attack in any war, and wars are always pos sible.
 ''In time of peace this unscientific frontier, bisecting country physically and commer- cially unit, is not only an obstruction to commerce, but breeds constant political dis putes and bickerings The fisheries dispute and the question of the right of free transit of American goods over Canadian railroads are type of disputes that have vexed tho two nations for a century, and will continue to disturb them so long as the present condi- tions exist. To get rid of these questions we must get rid of the frontier.
 "I studied the proposal for commercial reciprocity, only to be convinced that it was nlusory and impracticable. reciprocity treaty with Canada would be acceptable to the Dominion, but would never be tolerated by our people. Ths bargain would be too one sided. We should offer them free market of 60,o00,000 people for their raw material, in exchan ge for a free market of 5000, 600 people for our manufacturers. That is what our people look at.
 1.-The advantages of political consolidation with Canada to the United States are no less palpable and obvious. If less immediate, they will be even greater in the long run. At the outset we shall add $500, ,000, 900 to our present debt of $1, 400, COG, 000-a mere baga- telle-in return for which we shall not only add 5000, GOO to our taxable population, but acquire extensive and valuable public works whose title is now in the Dominion govern. ment, railroads, canals, public buildings, etc.
 1.-The political advantages of the union are emphasized by the present troubles over the fisheries, railroad transit and canal tolls
 "There are two exceptions to the general willingness of the Canadian people to enter. tain the notion of political consolidation
 the other clerical
 "I have observed and studied the state oi feeling on this side of the line as carefully as that on the other, and with results quite as satisfactory. The United States is a: ready for the serious and fruitful discussion of this question as Canada"
 Senator Sherman was asked to indicate the steps proper tG be taken in approaching the practical realization of the idea of polit ical union with Canada, and did so in tn. barest outline. It is an international affair and must be approached by diplomatic pro cedure. All acquisitions of territory hay, been made by treaty. The president and th | senate, acting together, are the treaty mak ! ing power. Either may initiate the move l ment. In a matter of such magnitude i would be proper for the senate to indicate b,
 a resolution its judgment that the time hat arrived when negotiations might be properl,, 1 opened for the consolidation of the Canadian | provinces with the United States Actin,
 upon this suggestion, the executive woul,
 invite communications upon the subject iron the British government, and proceed thence forth by the ordinary diplomatic methods o l treaty making.

An Effort to Reform New York.

NEW YORK, Dec.

Serious Effects of a Shut Down.

PTTTsBURG, Dec All of the coal mines along the Monongahela river have closed down indefinitely. The operators claim that they have been losing money on account of over supply, and are unable to keep their men at work Over 5000 miners are thrown out of employment. They are ill prepared for shut down at this season, and much suffering will no doubt result. The closing of the mines also causes a large number of boat builders, caulkers and river men to be idle. It is estimated that over 50, ,OOO, GOO bushels of coal are now tied up at points down the Ohio river. for which there is no market except at prices which are loss to the onerat atorS

FIRED THE SECOND TIME.
Flames Again in Possession of the Calu- met and Hec1a Mine-Eight Men Have
 Perished-The Others Narrowly Escaped.S

Flames Again in Possession of the Calu-
 met and Hec1a Hine-Eight Men Have
 Perished-The Others Narrowly Escaped.'
 HANCOCK, Mich, Dec 1-The Calumet and Hecla mine was deliberately set on fire. Of the two or three hundred men on duty at the time all but eight escaped unharmed.
 As soon as the fire was discovered the men began to work their way out, and, when they reached the fire itself, made an attempt to turn on the water, but the pipes had been disconnected and no water was to be had. The signal wire had also been cut, and there was nothing left but to fight for life.
 Under the guidance of cool headed leaders the men worked their way around the burn ing tunnel to other connections with the main engine shaft and thence to the surface.
 While the scenes below were being enacted the cry above that the mine was on fire had reached the homes of the miners, and the wives, children and friends of the men below soon crowded around the shafts, wild with grief and anxiety.
 As each man came up out of the death trap, he was seized by weeping wife and chil- dren or anxious friends, and cries of grief were changed to shouts of rejoicing. The men kept coming up until it was known that all but eight had been rescued.
 To these no possible hope remains, as every avenue or escape IS cut OH. They were doubtless smothered between the sixth level, where the fire originated, and the surface Their names are: Anthony Lahgen, An drew Hansen, Joe Roe, Antony Kalskie, Geesher Taxa, John Flick, Joe Mossoglie and John Vanderbilt.
 At the spot where the fire originated no one was working, and this fact, taken in connec- tion with the disconnecting of the water pipes and the breaking of the signal wire | leaves no room to doubt that the fire was the | work of an incendiary. Just one year age | the mine took fire under circumstances which pointed strongly to incendiarism. | It is hinted than an interested syndicate is at the bottom of the fires, and that the work | is that of their hired accomplices for the pur pose of checking the production of copper and hence booming the price. | The management had a standing reward | of S2 900 for the discovery of the men who I set the fire year ago, and if human agency l can discover the perpetrator of this deed it i openly declared that he will Do hurled heac down the burning shaft.
 | No means of approximating the probable other fire burned for thirteen weeks and die millions of dollars worth of damage. It wa: l nothing in fierceness compared to the present | one.
 Late last night the fire burst its way l through the surface, and huge pillar O
 flame and sparks shot upward like a volcano
 but it was again smothered by coverings O. | rth
