WESTERLY (R. D, February 17th-One of
the greatest fires that ever visited this place
broke out at 3 o'clock this morning in a
confectionery store in o. D. Wells building
on Broad street. 1t destroyed five business
blocks, the Mantle Bank building, occu-
pied by the Savings and Note Banks, the
Segar Block, the Stillman building, the
Bradford Block and the Wells building.
There were burned out twenty two business
men and the Telescope Exchange. The
loss is about S150,000. The local Fire De-
partment was slow in responding to the
alarm, and ineffective because of the break
ing down of the engine. The thermome-
ter marked 340 below zero, causing severe
suffering to the firemen.

Cameron Said TO Have Been Stung by the

WASHINGTON, February 17th.-It is re-
ported in Republican circles at the Capitol
that new candidate for President will
shortly be put in commission for the race,
in the person of Senator Don Cameron, of
Pennsylvania. Cameron, in years past, has
fought Blaine bitterly, but the last Repub-
lican Convention in the Keystone State in
dorsed Blaine, and Camerons followers
think that he may now advise Cameron's
nomination. Ex-senator Conkling, it is be-
lieved, would do all in his power to help
Cameron. The story seems highly i'm
probable, but has obtained some currency

BASIS OF THE REPORT

PHILADELPHIA, February 17th.-Yester-
day National Master Workman Lewis
wrote to President Austin Corbin, and to-
day the latter sent his reply. The CORE
spondence is now being made public
Lewis said he was desirous of bringing the
troubles to an end, and proposed to order
the strikers back to work if Corbin would
give an assurance that as soon as work was
resumed the subject of wages would be
considered in a conference between the
company and its employees, or their repre-
sentatlves, and upon further assurance
that no one should be Disseminated against
by reason of his connection with the strike
Corbin replied that on consultation
with President Keen of the Reading Coke
and Iron Company, he would agree to the
proposition, except as to the men concerned
in the assaults on the miners who did not
strike; and provided further, that in any
conference over wages the miners are not
to expect the company to pay a higher
rate of wages for mining than is paid by
other coal-producing companies in compe-
tition with it.
PowDERLY DENIES THE WHOLE THING.
SCRANTON (Pa.), February 17th.-General
Master Workman Powderly this afternoon
denied that the Reading strike had been
declared off. He positively said that the
visit of National Master Workman Lewis
to Scranton was simply to consult Mr.
Hayes, of the Executive Board, and was to
talk over the manner of securing good, in
telligent witnesses to take the stand before
the Investigating Committee now in ses-
sion.
THE READING STRIKE ORDERED OFF.
PoTTsvGLLE, February 18th. Late to-
night an order was issued by National
Master Workman Lewis, John H. Davis,
Chairman of the Joint Executive Commit
tee, and Richard Thompson, Master Work
Ian OF District Assembly No u. directing
the employees of the Philadelphia and

Crushed by Cows Jaws.
[Copyrighi, 1885, by Tie California associated Press
VIRGINIA. February 17th.-B Napoli, an
Italian rancher, had his arm crushed be-
tween the jaws of a COW at Dayton, Lyon
county, yesterday. He observed that the
animal was choking from a potato stuck
in its windpipe. Napoli thrust his arm in
theIcows mouth and pushed the potato
down its throat When he attempted to
withdraw his arm, the beast closed It's jaws
and held Napoli's arm with the grip of a
wise. The arm was finally extricated by
prying the cows jaws open with an iron bar.
The bones of the forearm and flesh were
found crushed in manner which will
probably make amputation imperative to
save the mans life.

VIRGIN1A CRY New, February 17th.-
This morning persons passing in the vicin-
ity were startled by observing building on
the east side Of the road, short distance
north of The Imperial shaft-house, sud
denly lurch forward, fall outward and
settle down in heap Of ruins. An inyes-
tigation led to the discovery that the cause
of its tumbling down was due to the set
tling Of the earth produced by underground
excavations. The ground in the vicinity
has settled several feet below the natural
surface. Fortunately the premises were
unoccupied, and no one was injured.

A REAL SAVAGE,

Warrior.
ST. PAUL, February 17th.-Deaf Bull. who
was second in command to Sword-bearer
curing the Crow Indian war last fall, and
who, with seven companions. has been
confined ever since st Fort Smelling await
ing some action by the Government, was
the cause of genuine Indian outbreak at
the fort yesterday. As q result of his
efforts two braves are very near the lppy
hunting ground, and may by death bscome
good Indians 81 any minute, while hers
were seriously wounded.
Late III the night the sentry befV the
.arge room in which the Indians ~e. con-
fined heard terrible cummotion. as
though the Crow tribe and all the wildcats
in existence were enjoying personal diff
Guilty.
THE BLOOD CURDLING wAR-wHooPs
Almost made his hair stand on end. Rush
ing into the inclosure with cooked musket
he saw two braves lying bleeding and dying
on the floor, while Deaf Bull, with huge
knife, was amusing himself by chasing The
others around all the time letting out war
whoops loud enough to wake the dead
When Deaf Bull saw the sentry he made a
rush for him, and the latter, doubling his
right to shoot down a prisoner Of war,
made backward jump through the door,
shut and summoned the garrison. Deaf
Bull continued to run amuck.
THE DESPERATE SAVAGE.
The garrison arrived, and few volun-
teers, led by sCorporal Holly, sprang in.
Deaf Bull made a lunge at Holly. who
dubbed his rifle and knock the noble savage
down. Determined to die on the field of
battle Deaf Bull then cnt his own throat,
but not fatally. He was at once overpow-
cred and handcufied, but continued to
struggle so violently that he broke one of
his ar He will, however, recover.
FIRE-wATER THE CAUSE.
The other braves were taken to the hos
pital, where the two worst injur d are ex-
pected to die at any moment. No one
seems to know what aroused the redskins
to such pitch OF fury. The officials at
the fort deny that any liquor had been
smuggled in to the savages but civilians
strongly suspect that nothing but fre-water
could have produced such state of mind
on the red-handed brute.
