pletely destroyed. Over 500 houses were
burned and about 400 families rendered
homeless. The total loss is estimated at
about a700, 900; insurance shout one-ff-

in the city market hall, and when dis
covered was a very insignificant blaze.
The recorders court, which was sitting
Iii the building at the time, was adj
journed for fifteen minutes and all hands
turned out to put out the blaze. Owing
to some defect in the fire department. no
water was thrown for nearly half an hour.
Meantime the flames, famed by a strong
wind, spread and finally enveloped the
whole building. The wind increased
and the flames jumped across the street,
and in half an hour two blocks We're in

city was occupied by the poorer classes
in the town, nearly all being mill hands.

wuIIau L. SCOTT.

twelve years been the largest contributor
to the Democratic campaign fund. -Four
years ago the campaign cost him nearly
Sl0O, DOC, and a man who is willing to go
down in his pocket like that deserves
some recognition at the hands of the
president.
Congressman Scott was in a good hui
NOR yesterday afternoon. With a three
for-a-dollar cigar between his lips he sat
down in the windows of the Southern no.
tel and gave ex-senator Davis of West
Virginia his ideas of running a political
convention. Mr.. Scott swore 4 coed deal,
but his oaths were used to emphasize his
opinions. He was not mad at anything,
nor anybody, for he had just finished
making a bargain with Senator German
by which all difficulties were smoothed
away. Whenever Scott appears in the
corridors of the hotel he is closely
watched by the crowds, and everybody
who does not know the man inquiries
his name. Scott is a pre-occupied sort of
a man who all the time appears to be
working out some mathematical problem,
He has a cold, almost brusque manner
but warns up in conversation, and brings
in the cuss words in true western fashion.
German is a better politician than Scott
is. Tbs Marylander is a person without
sentiment or nonsense, but he knows
how to smile and shake hands, which
Scott never learned. German spends
much of his time in the corridors of the
hotels, greeting the workers of the parry.
Scott spends most of his time upstairs in
close consultation with his li%eutenants.

Tho Lesson Los. on Them.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Rumors are still
current that some of the members of the
present board of aldermen, as well as
those of last year, were not in any way
terrified by the punishment imposed upon
Jaehne, McQuade, and O,Neil. II is
charged that efforts have been made By
members of both boards t o extort brides
from men who were DESTROYS of securing
franchises, but in every case it is said
these efforts resulted in failure be-
cause those interested in the schemes
did not wish to stand in the position
of Sharp. The latest charge is that a
number of property-owners and resi-
dents in the annexed district, who were
interested in a surface railroad to run
from the elevated railroad station at
Lincoln avenue and the Harlem river
North New York, East Mofisiana, and
Woodstock to the foot of East One
Hundred and Sixty-fifth street, secured
the necessary consents of p~roperty-own-
ers along the line of route, and intended
TO make application for a franchise to
the board of alderman last year, but did
not do so because they were told that it
would be necessary to pay oyer 500, coo
before the franchise wt,uld be granted.

will not swallow with good
grace, and 1t is stated upon authority
that i. w. Lehman Of Iowa will submit
a minority report endorsing and support
ing the presidents views in the most
outspoken and emphatic terms. The
| Iowan, as some of his friends put it, has
a personal purpose to serve in this ac-
ton. He believes that it is the n great
opportunity of his life, and that If he
can carry the convention with him and
he believes he can (and SO do many
others) it will improve his stand
ing, however high it may now
be, in the Democratic party not
only Of his state, but of the country. He
is being encouragedin his urse by many
who believe that the presidents policy is
entitled to the highest and most thorough
endorsement that q national Democratic
convention can give it, and that there
should be no beating about the bush in
the matter.
Senator German said: "The prospects
are good for an all-night meeting of the
subcommittee. No three men on it are
agreed upon the terms in which the tariff
plank should be couched, and the pros
poets for a satisfactory solution of the
trouble are not encouraging.
A telegram has boon received from
Congressman Breckenridge of Kentucky
declaring that If the Mills bill is not en-
dorsed in the convention 1t will fail in
the house, and the convention will have
to take the responsibility.
In order to clearly understand the con-
troyersy which at present exists in the
committee on resolutions q representative
OF the United Press ~canvassed the mem
beers of the committee, and the situation
as explained by them is about as follows.
tMr. Waterson, his friends say, wants
to have the tariff plank Of 1876, or some
thing like it, adopted; something that
does not read both ways-not free trade
on one Interpretation and protection
pure and simple on another interpreta-
ton. He wants something that the peo-
pie can understand INT know what it
means. That is what he wants, and what
he is going to fight for"
Mr.. Germans friends say Che wants a
plank in the platform something like the
Chicago platform Of 1884, in which he
AN make the fight to carry New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and aban-
don indiana, aaid nominate Thurman,
knowing that he will be strong in these
states with q platform peculiarly adapted
to the industries of these three states.n

Besides this, we want a man who has

the convention listened in silence while
the Boston congressman spoke. Some
thing of the dramatic effect, which
would hive marked such n speech il

Boulanger.

LONDON, June 6.--The English papers,
as well as the French journals, comment
upon Gen. B~oulanger's attempt in the
chamber of deputies. The St. James
Gazette, in a favorable strain says that
although ~Boulanger's programme is
meagre and does not promise much,
Boulanger himself, with his courage and
sang froid in the midst of turmoil and
angry criticisms, spoke well, for him.
'His enemies were angry and excited
and, judging from their feminine fury,
were afraid of him, or what he might
do, but the general emerged from the
scene with dignity and an unruf1led
temper. He has shown that he possesses
some qualities that are useful to one
who rules men, if he. has not proven to
be a great statesman. The majority of
the English press, including the Times,
ridicule Boulanger and assert that his
effort has killed the movement in his
favor.

miles an hour one of the prisoners made
his escape, running from his seat to the
platform and jumping off. His hands
were manacled at the time. As soon as
possible the train was brought to a stand
still, and a party went back to search for
the body they expected to find mangled
and ~lifeless at the side of the track. But
they did not find it at all. The only evi.
dences of the desperate leap were blood
spots on the track, a boot heel, n collar,
and u hat. 1t was then believed he had
crawled off into some secluded place
near the track, but diligent search failed
to discover him.
