ENTERPRISlNG BURGLARS.

They Have Their Victim Explain His Safe
 to Them. and Then Operate.
 JERSEY CITY, Feb. 7-One of the most cleverly planned burglaries on record was that by which Jeweler c. G. Rochat, of 7s Montgomery street, lost about s4O0 worth of watches. The burglars began operations by pretending to represent a safe manufacturer and negotiating with neighboring merchant for sale. They told him that Rochat had had one of their safes about two years, and suggested that he go with them and look at it. Of course Rochat had no suspicion, and freely showed all departments of his safe and detailed its contents Having got all the points the burglars gained access at night to an adjoining dye house. They cut a large hole through the wall and exposed square yard of Rochart's safc, which they drilled, making u hole sufficiently large 10 insert a hand and arm. They had ained at Il little strong box which Rochat had showed them, in which he kept about $500 worth of diamonds, but missed it by q few inches and had to content themselves with such common things as gold watches, eight of which they had extracted when something occurred to frighten them away. They escaped, but left their drilling tools.

A BACkWOODS TRAGEDY.

Twcnty-four Logging Teams and Drivers
 Go Through the Ice Into a Lonely Lake.
 Only Seven of the Men Were Rescued.
 CANAJoHARIE, N. Y., Feb. "A farmer gives the following particulars of the terri ble fatality which was briefly reported from Pine Lake, Fulton county. Twenty-four teams started from the upper end of the lake Monday afternoon to draw logs to the re- ceiving point. Some of the logs were of great length and girth, and the weight upon the ice was enormous.
 The party had got nearly opposite the camp where many of the loggers lived when there was warning cracking, and the next moment teams logs and drivers were mixed in confusion with the big chunks of ice in the water.
 The scene that followed was terrible. The men who remained in the camp, the women and children crowded to the brink of the broken ice, but found themselves powerless to do more than drag half a dozen of their fel lows out of the water, and stood there shriek. ing and piteously bemoaning the fate of brothers, husbands and fathers.
 Seven of the drivers escaped. Seventeen drivers and all the horses were drowned. The men were either sunk by the heavy clothing in which they were bundled and by their thick, clumsy logging boots, or were dragged down by being caught between the logs or the teams. No doubt some were dis abled by being crushed, and so could make nc effort to save their lives
 Up to the time the messenger left no at- tempt had been made to recover the bodies, no Sulta ble apparatus being at hand Draps will be sent to the lake at once

SWALLOWED UP BY THE SEA.

An Unknown Vessel Crowded with Pas
 sengcrs Instantly Sunk by Collision.
 Not a Soul Lives to Tell the Tale.
 LONDON, Feb. News of a most frightful disaster at sea reached this city. The British bark Largo Boy was lowed into Spithead in sinking condition and badly damaged from the effects of collision with an unknown vessel, which occurred last Monday of Beachy Head.
 The vessel with which the Largo Boy col lided was large four master, but in the storm which prevailed at the moment and the confusion on board both vessels it was impos- sible for the people on the ship which sur vived to learn the name or destination of the one which went down. It is thought. how ever, that she was either a French or a Ger man liner.
 The captain of the Largo Boy says his judg. ment is that the unfortunate vessel which was sunk was crowded with passengers, and it Is his opinion that at least 100 persons went down with her. He says. the cries of the drowning people were heartrending in the ex. reme. In all his experience as a seafaring man he had never heard sounds so distressful The shock of the collision was followed almost at the next instant by the sounds of the heavy sea enguling the vessel which went down: then here and there in the angry waters were heard shrieks of despair and feeble cries for help.
 The voices heard sounded like French or German, but as no words were recognizable in the bowling of the winds it is impossible for any one on the Largo Boy to say now of what nationality the drowned people were.
 Intelligence from the scene nearest to the point where the collision occurred is awaited with eager interest

The Striking Street Car Men Glad to Get
 Back on Any Terms.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-The action of the seve- ral labor assemblies on Tuesday night in prac- tically declaring the strike off brought all the men to the stables early yesterday morning as applicants for reinstatement But 4,OoO of the 1000 men who summarily quit their seve- ral positions Tuesday week ago were sue cessful ill securing their old places, and in most instances they were forced to renounce all connections with the Knights of Labor The other 5000 union men were informed by the superintendents of the roads that their positions had been filled. The companies further announced that under no considera- tion would the men who had stuck to their places during last weeks exciting scenes be discharged to give places to the strikers The superintendents in employing men made no discrimination whatever between their old employees and new applicants. If man wa. able to undergo the examination as to his fit- ness he was employed.

The Coal Miners Conxentinu

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 7.-The conven. tion of coal operators and miners was finally organized with representatives from Pemsyl- vania, Ohio and Indiana. The Progressive Unionists carried all their points The first business was the appointment of a committee of three operators and three miners to agree upon new scale. It is very uncertain when the committee will report In the meantime all other business has been suspended The operators in the association claim the sched- ule should be reduced so as to enable them to successfully compete with operators in dis tricts where organized labor is not recoe- nized, while the miners for the most part are instructed to ask for last years scale The conference is friendly, however, and it is not believed that serious differences ot opinion will develop

A Promising New Gas Field.

DETROIT, Feb. 7.-The immense gas well just discovered at Kingsville daily discharge. over ,0Oo, 900 feet of gas. It is largely owned by Detroit capitalists, and is less than twenty. five miles from the city. Experts are positive that the gas territory about Kingsville is fully equal to that of Ohio or Pennsylvania regions. Contracts have already been let for half a dozen more wells to be finished within ninety days. Should any one of these meet with half the success of the first one there will be millions of money made in the sleepy little harbor on Lake Erie. Already two other associations besides Detroit and Windsor gentlemen are on the ground-one from Toledo and the other from Bradford, Pa.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
Bills of General Interest in the Senate
 Abolition of the Poll Tax

bilis of General Interest in the Senate
 Abolition of the Poll Tax.
 HARRISBURG, Feb. 7.--In the senate bills were introduced to prohibit the sale of to- bacco to persons under Is years of age; giving the consent of the commonwealth to the crea. ton of free bridge by private corporation over the Delaware river at Trenton; to estab- hsh Q uniform system of collecting poor tax: creating and defining the duties of a recorder of cities of the third class; providing that the recorder shall be elected by the people. and shall have concurrent Jurisdiction with the mayor in the enforcement of ordinances and criminal laws, and in civil cases shall have the samo jurisdiction as aldermen.
 Senator Cooper's anti-poll tax bill which pro. poses to submit to the people the question o, abolishing the poll tax as qualification for a voter, was called up, having been made the special order. Senator Newnlyer said he knew of no popular demand for this measure and he thought its consideration at this time unwlse. The language, he said. was very ob scure and its passage would hamper the con- stltutlon with singular piece of mosaic work Senator Penrose spoke of the evils of the pres ent system and said the poll tax had not ac complished what it was designed for, and wa. an unmitigated evil. It led to fraud. and was an annoyance to the voter Many men ill his ward who were rich and consequently well able to pay their poll tax allowed them. selves to lose their votes rather than to spend the time in paying the tax
 The bill relating to the election of officers in new wards of cities of the first class was signed by Speaker Boyer and sent to the governor
 Messrs Patterson, Steine and Fow were ap pointed by Speaker Boyer as the house mem, bers of the special committee to report upon the removal of the Delaware river islands.

BOOM FOR J. N. THURSTON
Colorado Wants to See Him
 in the Cabinet.
A GREAT CRUSH OF VISITORS.

Thurston's Boom Formally Presen.cd-It Has Plenty of Signatures--No Substitute for Allison Yet-Miners Call on Harri- son-Mrs. Harrison Arrives Home INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 7-An effort was
 made to start Q boom for John M Thurston, or Nebraska, who has been talked of q good deal as candidate for the interior depart l meLt. The political agent who came here in MT. Thurston's behalf was Edmund Morton Smith, of Denver, Colo He brought with him to deliver to Gen. Harrison n petition in Mir. Thurston's favor, signed by all the state officers in Colorado, by twenty-four of the twenty-six state senators and forty of the forty-nine members of the house of repre- sensatives
 Tae paper declared that the Colorado Re- publicans were anxious to see an able lawyer and popular man like Mir. Thulston at the hea of the interior department, and closed wita strong recommendation to the presi- denI-elect to make the appointment. Mir. Smith admitted the fact that the Colorado legislature had just day or two ago indorsed ex-tsovernor John L. Routt as cabinet as pirant, but argued that such vote did not in any way nullify the petition in Mr. Thurs tons interest.
 Mr. Smith had short call at Gen. Harri- sons house and in the crowd of other visitors barely got time to hand tine president-elect the papers and to explain what they were He said that Gen. Harrison gave no indication of what he thought of the Thurston boom. Senator Teller, Mr. Smith added, had made strong plea for ex-Governor Routt's appoint ment to place in the cabinet when he was here to see Gen. Harrison, about six weeks ago.
 No additional light has been thrown On Gen. Harrison's cabinet plans. The report that ex-Senator Windom has been picked out for the next secretary of the treasury is not taken seriously here. Gen. Harrison may be looking around for an available western man outside of Indiana, but no offer of the secre- taryship of the treasury is likely to be made until affairs i'll this state are strn .htened out Col. John c. New is really the only person who is thought here to be in the field
 The great majority of the callers at Gen. Harrisons were delegates to the convention of coal operators which has been in session here. The coal men went out in a body, about 15O of them in all. Col. s. M Yoeman, of Indianapolis, introduced the delegates to Gen. Harrison, and the reception lasted nearly an hour:
 Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Mckee returned from their New York trip last evening. Gen. Harrison and Mir. Mckee met them at the station. Both ladies seemed in good spirits and unfatigued by the long journey. Russell $. Harrison did not accompany them

A Sensation Caused by Tejtimony of the

A Sensation Caused by Tettimony of the
 Alleged American Infjrmer.
 LONDON, Feb. 7.-The sensation created by the appearance on the witness stand ut the Parnell commission of the so called "Ameri- can" informer increases with every hour It has given q new interest to the hitherto rather dull proceedings of the trial Beach, who Is neither an American nor an Irishnan, but full blooded Englishman, born in Col chester, promises to outdo the famous Jimmy O'Brien, Pierce, Nagle, Talbot, the police spy, in the success he achieved in lulling the s,ls- picions of the extreme Irish revolutionists Sir Charles Russell is confident of shaking much of his testimony and of proving that bis allegations about Parneu are pure inven- tion. But the Tories and Unionists are jub- lant.
 Beach, alias Dr. Le Caron, continued his sensational evidence before the Parnell com mission He stated that Mr. Parnen was ill 1881 present at a conference of the "B. C." society, called to discuss the subject of dyna- mite apparatus, and that the conference rec commended the formation of classes i'll mining engineering. At previous secret meeting one of the delegates, Edward O'Meagher Condon, attacked the Revolutionary Direc- tory for its inactivity during the preceding two years. He said he had made certain suggestions which had not been executed These suggestions included the rescue of Mr. Davitt from prison and the fitting out of an expedition to South America, which should land upon territory recently occupied by the English.
 The witness also stated that Breslin had been paid for building torpedo boat to be used against British vessels, but that it proved A failure. Another firm had built a second boat for the same purpose, and it lay on the New Jersey side of New York harEor for four months, but was never used John OConnor, an agent employed for carrying arms to Ire land, attended the convention as a representa- tive of the supreme council of the Irish Re publican Brotherhood.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Alexander Sullivan was interviewed concerning the testimony of Le Caron. He said he knew the man and considered him of no account He said his evidence was very weak and would be picked to pieces. The whole story was another des- perate effort to give some color of excuse for continuing the case against MT ParnelL In due time Mir. Sullivan believed, Mr. Par nell would dispose of all this evidence to the worlds satisfaction.
