In 1914 Mr.. Cameron apprentlced himself
to Andrew Kennedy, who then published
the Gazette at Northumberland. Pa. He
left Mr.. Kennedy before completing his
term, and went TO Harrisburg and entered
the Office of the Republican, owned by
James Peacock, to finish his trade. He
boarded in Mr.. Peacock's family. and there
met Mr.. Ingham. who afterward became
Secretary OF the Treasury under General
Jackson. He was then Secretary of State
of Pennsylvania, and prominent figure in
it's politics. The year before his introduce

FIRED ON BY HAYTIANS.
Assault on an American Whaling Schooner
While Procuring Water at Samana Bay.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 21.-The
schooner Baltic, Of Privincetown. Capt.
Joseph Fisher, arrived here to-day from an
Atlantic whaling voyage. Captain Fisher
had thrilling experience last May, while
at Samana bay, Santo Domingo. where he
put In for water. He had previously visited
the bay on Feb. G. AMI was boarded by the
officer of the port, a general, who came on
board with soldiers and inspected the ves-
sci. Captain Fisher said he was going
whaling, and the general gave him permis-
sion to get wood and water, as long as he
stayed In that vicinity. On Nav 1S the
schooner again visited the watering place.
At o'clock that evening five soldiers, un-
der command of an officer. came down to
at the schooner. The soldiers were
armed with good American rifles. When
they began firing Captain Fisher was
aft with the officers. and all hands.
except the steward. were on deck. The first
shot passed about a foot above the captains
head. The next two shots went among the
crew standing on the windlass bits, pass
ing close to two seamen. With the bullets
flying about, the captain had no opportu-
nifty TO show the American flag. The sol
diers continued firing. and Captain Fisher
ordered all hands below and went down
himself. When the soldiers found no one
on the deck, they fired into the vessel, hit
ting the copper cooler near the foremast
1t was so late when the firing stopped that
Captain Fisher did not dare 60 ashore for
fear he would be shot in the dark. The
next day he demanded an explanation.
The officials gave him no satisfactory an
swer. saying they thought the ves-
sci was Spanish smuggler AS
Spanish vessels thereabouts carry no
boats on the side. Captain Fisher resolved
70 seek higher authority. Accordingly, on
May 10. he went 10 Grndjua. eight miles to
the westward. and sought an interview
with General Papahoo, who ordered boat
and went down that evening with police off,
cials- After visiting the schooner he had the
five soldiers arrested. They were arraigned
and tried, but three days after General
Papahoo released them, giving as his rea-
son TO Captain Fisher that he found they
did not kill any one. There is lack of dis
cipiine among the military. and the Amer
leans attribute the attack to the liquor they
drink. A complaint against the HaytIan
government will be made TO Secretary
Blaine by Captain Fisher. The men who
did the firing were Haytians,

FATAL FIREWORKS.
A Boston PyrOtechnical Establishment Goes
OFF and Several Lives Are Lost.

BoSTON, June 21.-A disastrous fire, ac-
companied by serious loss of life. occurred
early this evening in the fireworks estab-
lishment of Heyer Bros, at Summer and
Hawley streets. Three dead bodies have
been taken from the ruins and three others
received injuries which will probably re-
suit fatally. 1t is feared that there may be
more victims among the debris. The build
ing, which is a fOur-stOry brick structure is
occupied on the ground floor by G.. T..
Browning, milliner. and on the three upper
floors by Heyer Bros. dealers in fancy goods
and fireworks. Shortly after O'Clock, while
a salesman was waiting on customer upon
the second floor, he saw a fash among
some fireworks behind one Of the coun-
ters unaccOmpanied, however, by any ex-
plosion. He ran for water at the same
time giving the alarm. The flames shot up
with almost incredible rapidity, cutting OFT
the escape of several of the men on the up
per stories, and in five minutes the dense
smoke and almost incessant discharge of
fireworks of different kinds, made the
building perfect pandemonium for those
confined within its walls. Edward Heyer,
one of the firm, ran to the stairs. shouting
fire. He then turned back to lock the safe,
but found the way chOked with smoke. He
grOped his way to the window and
managed to climb to an adjoining building
unhurt.
Albert Gage, aged twenty, who was en-
plOyed in the third story, hung from
window until he was obliged to release his
hold. then fell to the ground, striking two
awnings in his descent. and breaking his
back. He will probably die. Charles T.
Callahan and Thomas Paine, who were
working on the fourth floor, jumped from a
window in their fright. Paine was killed,
while Callahan's injuries are fatal. Will
lam Brenenstuhl. on the second floor, lost
his way and rolled down the stairs and
was picked up badly injured. He is also
burned internally by smoke, and it is feared
he cannot live. body which was taken
from the building was recognized as Sam
uel Cord, one of the oldest employees of the
firm. Another body, that of boy,
was taken to the morgue, where 1t has not
yet been identified. 1t is charred and
burned so badly that Identification will be
difficult. This completes the casualties so
far as known at present.
A large portion of the $4,000 stock is
ruined, but it is we'll insured. During the
fire the discharge of fireworks sounded as
if hard-fought battle was i'm progress,
and for nearly two hours was heard the
rattle of small musketry, interspersed at
frequent intervals with the heavier reports
of the larger pieces, while sparks and an
occasional rocket would shoot from the
conservation among the spectators. The
cause of the fire is mystery.
A later and more careful investigation
places the number of fatalities at five, one
other probably fatally injured, and two
bows missing.

One candidate is ex-Speaker John A. Tib-

could not get that his influence pushed him
for Liverpool. When Thomas A. Sherman

him. Another candidate. however, is a
