-Four Persons Die by the Burning Of a
Pier ut New York
NEW YORK, Dec. THE National Line
Steamship company's dock at pier 90
North river took fire this afternoon and
burned nearly to the waters edge. At
least four blackened dead bodies have
beeu taken from the ruins and many more
people are badly burned, some OF whom
are likely to die. 1t was the most disas'
irons fire on the river front in some time.
For two hours the fire resisted the efforts
Of the fremen. The spread of the fire be-
fore il was discovered and the confidence Of
the dock laborers that they could extin-
ou;sh it without aid outside OF the appar-
atus, gave the flames a tremendous head
wav before the men were really aware OF
their danger. The westerly end OF the dock
was a burning mass, and the dock laborers
had to flee for their lives.
n was then that the most OF them we're
;ninred. Those who did not escape ct
that time were overpowered by the smoke
and fell senseless, and died in their tracks

Foster Makes an Eloqusnt Argument fol
the Defense in the Cronin Case.
CHIcAao. Dec. 7.-Foster resumed his ad.
dress to the jury in the Gronin case and de
voted his attention to the alleged CON
spiracy in Camp 20 in the Clan-na-GaeI
making an argument to show there was nc
foundation for the allegation.
Foster denied emphatically that any
committee was appointed in Camp 20 to
try Cronin, and had quite a tilt withIthe
states attorney on this point. Beggs. he
said, had always counselled in favor Of q
peacsable unity. Continuing he said,
Hang him because he is the Ii iend Of Alex
nder Sullivan. Do you know whether he
is or notf I do know that Alexander
Sullivan has been arrested in this
case and has been discharged under
evidence by one Of the ablest and Oldest
j~urists that sits upon the bench in this
state; that the case has been presented to
the grand jury and the bill ignored; that
the bonds under which be was required to
answer has been cancelled, and he Is a free
man. Now, in the name OF conscience and
in the name OF heaven, will they ask you
to convict my client because he is q friend
OF another whom they despiSe, but against
whom they can prove no criminal act? I
will not discuss the question whether he
and Alexander Sullivan are friends or not.
l do not know and do not care"
After further discussion as to the evil
dence Foster told the party they must
affhaR find Pon1o nrrs1&- -
tirely. Forrest then began the closing argu-
ment on behalf OF his client. He began by \
them thod used by the orators
Tor the prosecution and those for the
defense in treating OF the circumstantial |
evidence, and the prosecution treated il as |
q mass, but the defense analysed zach cir
,umstar ce and this was the right method. |
He occupied the remainder OF the session
reading from legal works and making an
OF tine statement of the appli.
;ation Of circumstantial evidence.

The Day Was Devoted Mainly to Finish

ST. LOUIS, Dec. THE farmers conven.
ton adjourned to-day to meet OF the sec.
ond Tuesday of December, 1880 at Jack
sonville, Fla. The day was devoted mainly
to finishing the revision Of the constitu-
ton and for the best means for consolida-
ton with the Northern alliance.
Terms were finally agreed upon and
Kansas and South Dakota 60 in
at once, but it will defer action until
the matter be settled 10 separate the state
alliance. What the terms ofthe consolida-
ton are has not t~ranspired. The new con
solidation is the same as the old. with the
exceptions of a few verbal changes. One
OF the chief alterations is the striking out
OF the word country before the phrase
country mechanics. This will enable a
large number of mechanics in villages and
cities, who are Knights OF Labor to form
organizations. It is provided that
negroes may be taken into the
union at the option OF the state or
ganization, but they cannot be made
delegates to the national convention. The
name Of the organization has been changed
to the National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial union. The headquarters will be
established at Washington, where the presi-
dent, secretary and chairman OF the execu-
tive committee will transact the business.
The judiciary committee, which is practi-
cally a trial court, was also appointed.

DENIES THE REPORT.
Archbishop Corrigan Says the Bank
Scheme is q Fraud.

Archbishop Corrigan Says the Bank
Scheme is q Fraud.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Archbishop Corrigan
was seen this afternoon in regard to the
statement published this morning that the
Roman Catholic bank, with q capital OF
500, 600, OOo was about to be started in
this city, in which the vatican would place
all the money for investment in American
enterprises to keep it safe from the posi-.
bility OF seizure by the italian government
should there be a rupture, etc.
The archbishop said: "Youca deny the
whole thing most positively. Ihave never,
in any shape or form given any sanction
OF countenance to Leybourn's scheme.
Eugene Kelly. Mr.. Hoguet and James
Lynch, whose names have been men
toned in connection with the matter,
all state most positively that they would
never approve it. The story that they have
friends in that vatican business scheme
ia an unmitigated f~alsehood. The vatican
has never written a line to me, nor l to
them. in reference to this matter. More
over, there are documents in my possession
which characterize Mr.. Leybourne al q
liar and fraud. This papal benedietion
does not amount to anything. 1t is simply
a blank form which any one may buy and
fill in"
Archbishop Corrigan then showed the re-
rorter a long letter which he received
rom Colonel j. Cox Leybourn,
askine the Archbishop's support
sor the proposed banks, and offering
!, q shares OF stock il the enterprise sue
cad d. He had aso to know that
some one might receive the red stockings,

archbishop, that / might be made a
d;rai. besides offering Q bride. / took no

wbsn he called he was not admitted to the
sansa and orders were given to the butler
