The cards and poles designating the
counties were pulled down, bandannal
wrapped about them and waved in the
chairman's face. Colonel Bob Biail
captured a number Of these and pilet
them on the platform. The younC
woman worked her way TO the front
and demanded recognition by the chair
Her hair came down, and when the
chair ignored her for quarter OF an
hour she went from delegation to dele

were going crazy and bowling like bed

men went about

Gen. Watts got onto this and started
out too. He and st. Clair met in the
Ohio county delegation and nearly had
fight. The bands played Dixie in
unison. Men got the heavy pieces OF
the wrecked reporters tables and ham
mered on the floor. At length from
pure exhaustion state Of affairs was
restored, which would be disgrace to
an ordinary body OF the kind, but which
here passed for order, and then the diff
ferent chairmen edged their way to the
front and shouted their changes in the
clerks ear. When this racket began
Johnston had q majority. He lost
votes to English and gained others.
English also gained largely till the CON-
test narrowed down to the two. The

Many Democrats frankly expressed their
disgust, while the few Republicans stood

back by counties by Secretary HOrner
and the result was: English, 345; d.
Johnston, 296; o. Johnston, 81; Woods,

1t was badly beaten. The second ballot
resulted: English, 372; D, Johnston,

Several had life preservers on, but were
swallowed up in the whirlpool made
when the Geiser went down. Some oi
them came again to the surface and were
picked up. A number Of us got life pre-
servers and stood ready TO cast them
out, but must say ! wondered that so

A great number must have been drown

"In about an hour and half the
boats returned, and the saved were
hoisted on board by ropes and partly by
the aid Of rope ladder, which had
been lowered over the side. When they
were got on deck they were each made
to sit down, and they were given glass
of brandy apiece. They seemed for the
most part to be in good spirits, except
one man, who was covered with blood,
aud the doctor sent him to the hospital.
The boats were sent away again, but
they only found II dead woman. The
emigrants were well treated by the peo-
pie on the Thingvalla. The passengers
and crew then went 10 work to shift
cargo from the stem TO the stern, as well

passengers. They got cheerful and hope

North Texas, Burned.
Some OF the Famous Guests Who PartOOk of

Early Days OF Texas.
in Historical House Burned.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Dec. 1O.-The fire de-
partmcut was called out at clock this
morning by an alarm from the old
CrutChfrld house, corner of Main and
jefferson. The fire got a good start,
however, and soon the old house lay i'll
ashes. This is the second burning of the
hotel. The first occurred i'll 1860. The
Crutchfield house was the most historic
building i'll Dallas. Judge Nat NJ. Bur-
ford, one of the old residents of the city,
speaking about it, said:
cit was built i'll 1852 by Thomas F.
Crutchfeld from lumber hauled from
Red River county, and under his ans
his wife's eStimable management was.
the foremost loStelry of North, Texas.
1t was destroyed by fire in June, 1860, at
the same time that all business houses i'll
Dallas, numbering fifteen, went down III
flames. Mr.. Crutchtield at once rebuilt 1t,
and it was from the verlnda OF that house
which burned last night that John w.
Forney, the famous newspaper man of
Philadelphia; Colonel Tom Scott, presf
dent of the Texas and Pacific Rail
way, then $50 miles east of here,
and Robert Garrett, ST., of the
DdlIllhOlC anu OIiiO IAuGtN i'iui ISSCu q
crowd of Dallas citizens on the subject of
extending the Texas and Pacific road into
this city 1t was during their visit that
the present Texas and Pacific depot and
round-houSe grounds were located. Dur
ing the Crutchfeld management there
was never Il scandal nor Il murder con-
nected with the history of the house. 1t
was the most magnificent hotel in Texas.
Among the famous guests who partOok of
the inequalities of the place | recall the
names of Governor Thomas 2. Hathaway
Bell General Thomas Rusil General Sam
Houston, Governor +. NJ. Pease and o.
NJ Roberts, the old alcalde; among cele-
brated European guests was Prince
Paul, the reigning sovereign of
Williamsburg, who remained week
in the year '52 and went
from here to ST. Louis by stage; Victor
Considerable, N. Kantagrel, for whom
one of the streets i'll this city has been
named, and NJ. COsin, all prominently
connected with French immigration into
this county. 1t ceased to be the leading
hotel after the death of Thomas F.
Crutchfield, which L think occurred in
1868. Of the surviving descendants of
Thomas F. Crutchfield and wife there
remains now only James o. Crutchfield
of Lamar county and Mrs. Ophelia Eakins

Underneath the skylight are eight large
tubs or watts of highly intiammable
liquor. Had dynamite stick exploded
on the skylight the liquor would have
been instantly ignited and Il terrible ex-
pl0siOn would have resulted, an eN-
plosion, Captain Schaak thinks, of
sufficient violence to have torn down
score of buildings. AS it was the damage
was comparatively small. a lot of
barrels of wine underneath the spot
where the explosion occurred had the
hoops torn off, but none of the contents
was spilled. On the roof about fifteen
feet from the spot where. the first
explosion occurred was found
another bundle of dynamite
sticks, seven in number. They had not
exploded on account of some defect i'll
the fuse, which had evidently been ig-
nited. Fortunately, no one was in the
building at the time and no loss of life or
limb was caused.
James d. Lynch, one of the proprie-
tors of the diStillery, says he believes 1t
to be the work of the whisky trust.
owe are not in the trust, - he said,
"and that organization has on numerous
occasions threatened to do us up. To
show you the desperate character of the
deed, let me call your attention to the
fact that there were 10 900 barrels of
whisky stored under the roof that was
torn open. If these had been ignited
terrible fire would have been added to
the horrors OF the explosion. One of the
representatives of the trust was here
shortly after the explosion, but the feel
ing among the men against this 0rganiZa-
ton was so great that he had to skip out,
for fear of being violently dealt with. -
Mr.. J. d. Lynch, manager of the
Shufeldt Company, offers Il reward of
SO 900 for the arrest of the person who
threw the dynamite on the distillery
building, for the name of the man who
employed him to do the work, or such
information as Will lead to the detection
and arrest of the parties responsible for
the outra%es. Members of the whisky
trust ridicule the idea that the attempt
to destroy the property was the work
directly or. indirectly of that organiza-
ton.

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
Attempt to Blow up Large Distillery in
North Chicago Partially Successful.

Attempt to Blow up q Large Distillery in
North Chicago Partially Successful.
CHICAGO, ILL. Dec. lO.-Shortly after
6 O. clock this morning an attempt was
made to destroy the Shufeldt Company
distillery in the northern portion of the
city by dynamite. Enough facts are
not known to justify a conclusion as to
whether it is the work of anarchists or of
some one who has personal grudge
against the Shufeldts At the hour
mentioned, the neighborhood was shaken
by q, tremendous explosion, breaking
many windows in the surrounding houses
and causing the people to rush into the
street in great alarm. An i'll
yestigation showed that a bomb
had been thrown from the street into
detached warehouse used for storing high
wines. This building was shattered. The
hoops bursted off of many casks aud the
heads of some were driven in. Very
soon afterward package wrapped in pa
per was discovered lying i'll the street. 1t
contained several sticks of dynamite and
some caps. A fuse connected with the
package showed; evidence of having
been lighted, but had gone out prema-
turely These articles are now in the
possession of the police who are at work
ON the case.
A ragged hole about three feet square
was torn in the roof aud in various other
ways the structure was damaged. BX-
animation revealed the fact that some
person, evidently standing on the high
sidewalk ON Hawthorn street, had thrown
upon the low roof of the building a
package of dynamite sticks tied to-
&c. Ial, Il
been ignited. These sticks consist of
compressed dynamite wrapped in paste
board and provided with Illuminating
caps. The combination had exploded
and it was only owing to the peculiar
charge that the entire structure as well
as the surrounding buildings were not in
stantly leyeled. The aim of the
man or men who committed
the deed was evidently to:
hit the skylight on the roof and the
mark was missed but by few feet.

PUGILISTS AT PITTSBURG.
Mccartney Interviewed at Pittsburg About the
Chances of Kilrain and Sullivan

PITTsBURG, PA, Dec. 10.-Dominick
Mccartney and Jack Fogarty, pugilists,
were in the city for a short time this
morning, on their way from the North
west to the East. Mccartney looked as
though he was in good condition, and
says he never felt better in his life.
When told that Sullivan said he would
not meet Mccartney because 4 middle
weight had the best of him, Dominick
said: "'fhat' all, right. He did not
whip me, and those people who are claim
ing TO be champions will have to whip me
before they can hold the belt. -
"What do you think the result of the
meeting between Sullivan and Kilrain
would be. -
eff Sullivan is, in his old time form he
will be u winner, but it viii be a hard
battle, although sKflrain s powers as a
fighter have been greatly exaggerated &.
