CABINETMAkING.
The Politicians Still Indus
triOusly Guessing
PORTFOLIOS APPORTIONED.
Blaine, Window, Rusk, Thomas
Wanamaker and Estee Slated
for the Places of Honor.

/ Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
INDIANAPOLIS, February 18.-Specula-
ton as to General Harrison's probable
Cabinet still continues the engrossing
theme in political and journalistic circles.
The efforts to name the complete Cabinet
are widely variant, especially as to the
portfolios for the Interior, Justice and
Agriculture. There is, however, har-
monious opinion as to the other FIVE
portfolios, scarcely any one being found
who is willing to gainsay the present con-
viction that Blaine will be Secretary of
State; Window, Secretary of War; Rusk
(Wisconsin), Secretary Of War; Thomas
(Illinois), Secretary of the Navy, and
Wanamaker, Postmaster General. There
is pretty good foundation for coupling
General John w. Noble, of st. Louis,
with the Interior Secretaryship, and the
persistence with which the name of
W. H. H. Miller, of this city, is being
coupled with the Attorney -Generalship,
causes many to believe that the report
has real foundation but the best au-
thorities give the department of Justice
to Judge Estee, of California. Nearly
all of the Cabinet makers, for some
reason, have sWarner Miller's name on
the slate for the new Agricultural port
folio and not few give also ex-senator
Platt one of the coveted seats.
Among the callers on General Harrison |
to-day were Ex-Governor Redfield Proc.
tor, of Vermont, who is en- route home |
from California, Jno. W. Dinsmore and |
]. H. Cheney, of Bloomington, ILL.,, and |
Col. J. H. Smither, of New Mexico.
At late hour tonight it is learned |
that since the long talk to-day between
Governor Proctor, of Vermont, and Gen
eral Harrison, certain well-informed
gentlemen have stated that Mr.. Proctor
is to be Secretary of the Navy, in
place of Congressman Thomas, OF
Illinois. The superior qualifications
of Thomas for this position by
reason of his strong and laborious
service in the Committee on Naval AZ
fairs are conceded, but his meagre rep.
resentation in the East, together with
the fact that Thomas appointment would
necessitate q special election in his dis
trict, are being used as arguments why
the portfolio may go to Vermont. An
other important Cabinet rumor late to-
night is that w. 0. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, has been rendered and accepted
the Attorney Generalshjp.
ST. LOUIS, February 18.-It is reported
here tonight, ON what is deemed excel
lent authority, that General John w.
Noble has admitted to intim ate friends
that he bas not only been offered, but |
has accepted the Cabinet position Of
Secretary of the Interior.

Accidentally Shot.

SANTA ANA, February 1S.-Dr. F. B.
Seeber, of Orange, while out hunting at
Newport Bay yesterday with party of
friends, met with a shocking and fatal
accident. While passing loaded gun
over in the boat it was accidentally dis
charged, the whole charge entering
Seeber's breast, making terrible wounds.
from which he died in few hours. DIR /.
Seeber was one of the prominent men of
the valley. and his loss will be keenly
felt. He was married few weeks ago
to his second wife and had just finished
his handsome residence at Orange. He
leaves three children by his first wife.
An inquest will be held this afternoon.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-19

Buell.. George Gaines (colored porter
George Engler, of Hartford; John W.

A. II. Tilteson, commercial traveller from

etor of the Hartford Herald, and his

unknown men.
The victims at the hospital are all do
ing we'll, most of the injuries being super
fetal, although all are suffering from the
chill and exposure. Some of the bodies
of the dead are much disfgured and
burned, but the faces OF most of them
were not injured, and wear life-like ex-
preston.
Electric lights have been put in around
the ruins, and the search will be vigor-
ously pushed all night.

RAYS RASH DEED.
He Attempted to XIII a Lady Friend
And Then Suicidcd.

He Attempted to XIII a Lady Frient
And Then Sutcidcd.
PORTLAND, February 18.-The Coro
ner's jury, in the case of Henry A. Ray
to-day returned q verdict that deceased
came to his death asthe result OF a pisto
shot fred by his own hand, with suicidal
intent, during fit Ci mental
alteration. Deceased Wa, un.
married and about So ye&rs old.
On his person was found rec eipt from
an Odd Fellows Lodge in San Fran
cisco. AcrHs tie back CT this certii-
cate Ray Dad written, "I ct this be sent
to San f aneisco with my body" thus
clearly sho wing that he had deliberately
committed tn deed. The Coroner has
telegraphed to the lodge asking what
disposition is to be made of the body.
Mrs. I. N. Lewis, the woman whom
Ray represented to be his sister, was in
terviewed. She says she is married, but
her husband is in the East.
Ray was widower. She is not his
sister and is in no way related to him.
She claims that she met Ray some time
ago, and since then has travelled over
the country with him, visiting San
Francisco among other places. She claims
that no improper relations have existed
between them at any time. The man,
A. Won Rhein, from whom she received
a letter Saturday night, just before Ray
shot himself, she claims is mutual
friend. Both che and the deceased Ray
and Won Rhein have had large business
relations and have always been great
friends. Jealousy of the latter,
she says, had nothing to do with the
deed. Ray came into the room when she
was reading Won Rheims note. He asked
what it was. She handed him the note.
Ray took it, but without attempting to read
it or give it more thon glance, he drew
his revolver and fired at her: The bullet
just erazed her forehead and the powder
singed her hair, She threw up both her
bands, and Ray, supposing he
had killed her, turned the muz.
zle of the pistol and sent
q ball crashing through his brain. Ray
was aged about 81 years, and splendid
looking man. Mrs. Lewis is about %
years old, and very fine appearing
woman. She first met Ray about year
ago in Snohomlsh, w. T. Ray told the
several times that he had
nothing to live for.
CHEHALIs, W. T., February 16.-Ray,
who committed suicide on Saturday, was
of the Chehalis Water
Company. He came here as the ac-
credited agent of the Olympia Pipe
Works in December last and was granted
The franchise for laying water pipe by
The Council. He organized q company
and most OF the stock was subscribed by
Chehalis people.

4 mi,iiona,re,s Small Beginnings.


The visitor to Talbotton is pointed out
the store where Leonidas Strauss, the
millionaire crockery dealer of New York,
began his business career. Long before
the war Strauss drove into Talbotton in q
ricketty two-horse wagon, containing
some goods and all his worldly posses
sions. He applied to Barney Curley to
rent little store, the only vacant one in
the place. And so unprepossessing was
Strauss and his outfit that Barney only
relented by the prepayment of one
months rent. But Strauss prospered
and sent his children to school. In 1861
he moved to Columbus. He speculated
in cotton, and at the close of the war he
left for New York with nearly $780, 900.
TIe engaged in the fancy crockery busi-
ness, dealing only in special importations.
He is now worth 50 900, 900, and lives in
princely style. Mr.. Cleveland appointed
his son Oscar, a lawyer, Minister to Tur-
key. MIR. Strauss had some OF his beau
tiful crockery on exhibition at Columbus.
Barney Curley does business in the same
little store rented to L. Strauss, lives
modestly, nor has he allowed time mol
circumstances nor events to jostle him
out of the even tenor of his way.-lSa
