RESIGNATION of City Commissioner Hut
ton.

Resignation Of City Commissioner Hut
ton.
City Commissioner hutton, who has
served the city for the past five years,
rendered bis resignation to the Board last
night To his letter of resignation to the
Board Mr.. Hutton says: Il have from
time 10 time used by best endeavors TO
faithfully fulfill the duties appertaining
to the Office, but finding by increased de
mands upon me by the growth of the city,
that cannot discharge the duties of said
Office without neglecting my other bust
ness enterprises; aud further, considering
that the Street Commissioners should not
be engaged In any other business, but
should devote his whole time 10 the exc j.
culion of the said Office, and still further
the salary being insufficient for such,
most respectfully tender my resignation. /"
Mr. Hutton has made q very efficient
commissioner and during his administra-
tion many improvements have been made
to our streets liz the way OF grading and
paving. Streets that were almost impassa-
BILE have been made easy of grade, and
steep hills have been cut away and deep
gullics filed up and property In these To-
calities have almost doubled In value
thereby. We fully agree with him In the
opinion that the street Commissioners
should devote his whole time to the streets
and nothing else, aud that the salary shou d
be commensurate TO his duties. Mr.. w.
e Brooks, Dir. Hutton's successor, Is q
man of good sound judgement, and will
no doubt make an efficient and acceptable
commissioner.

HIS OWN FUNERAL PYRE.
Paradise, N. j., Excited Over a Hor-
ribIe Tragedy.

The town of Paradise, near the Blue Noun
tains, in New Jersey, has been the scene of a
dreadful tragedy, which has excited the hor-
ror of the country people for many miles
around.
Philip Heinickle, well-to-do German far
mer has for some time past made threats
that he would burn the town, but little heed
was paid to him, as it was not believed he
would carry out his threat.
The other day he went to his large barn,
in which was stored all the summer harvest
so that it was filled to bursting, and kindled
a fire at the four corners The barn was
soon blazing and roaring, while the flames
and smoke shot high in the air, showing for
miles around.
Some of his neighbors wanted to put out
the fire, but with a gesture he refused their
aid, and they could do nothing but stand idly
gazing at distance for the flames were so
intense thata close view of the fire was un-
comfortable.
Suddenly they were Mortified at seeing
Heinickle deliberately throw himself into the
flames when they were at their height.
Nothing could be done to prevent his terrible
act, as no one was near enough to him at the
time.
When the flames went down and the en-
bers had cooled SO that a search among the
ruins was possible, his charred and half-
consumed body was found among the embers
several hours later.

AN OPERATORS BLUNDER.
Three Men Instantly Killed and Four
Fatally Injured.

Tho accommodation train, due at Parkers-
burg, w Va, at 11:10A. NJ, collided with
special east-bound train, carrying Baltimore
and Ohio officials, at point between Petro-
leum and Silver Run, twenty-five miles from
there on the main line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The accident was caused by
wrong orders being given to the engineers.
The special train was ordered to pass the
accommodation at Petroleum, the farther
point east, and the accommodation to
pass the special train at Silver Run,
the farther point West. At the time
of the collision both trains were going
thirty-five miles an hour. They met on
a sharp curve, and without a moments
warning dashed into each other, wrecking
both engines and a baggage car, instantly
killing Engineer Laynan, fatally injuring
Engineer George Rowland, and instantly
killing the two firemen, James Fletcher and
John Bailey.
One of the officials, named Hunter, was
perhaps fatally hurt. A Mrs. Manley, Of
Central, w. Va, was badly injured
Councilman Robert Malley was cut and
bruised. Baggagemaster Rose was cut. A
colored porter on the special was thrown
through a glass door and probably fatally
injured. There were some marvellous
escapes.

A CIRCUS IN A SMASHUP.
One of BaYnum's Trains Derailed Near
Potsdam, n. Y.

The second Of three trains of the Barnum
& Bailey show has been wrecked about two
miles and a half east of Potsdam, NY, while
en- route on the Rome, Watertown &
Ogdensburg Railroad from Cover
neur to Montreal. A broken axle
was the cause Twenty-four ring horses, i'm
cluding one of the four chariot teams and
two camels were killed Six cars were de-
rallied and two were telescoped so that every
thing in them was crushed.
On either side of the track were distributed
the bodies of the dead horses, while hereiand
there. tethered to fences, were poor blasts
with injuries rendering them useless. AT the
sideo the highway were one camel, sfveral
sacred cows and steers and various other ami
mails rescued from the derailed carsI The
cars were crushed and twisted and piled up
on the track The elephants, which were in
the first car that was derailed, were not hurt,
and have been taken from the car.
Barnum's partner, j. A. Bailey, says the
loss will be in the neighborhood of $40, 600.
He thought that the loss Of the days receipts
at Montreal would have been about SIS, 900,
and some of the horses that were killed were
very valuable, and cannot be replaced, for
two years are required for training them
after the right kind have been secured.

ONE MORE FATAL DAM.
Three Lives Lost and a Wide Sweep
of Country Devastated.

The Spring Lake reservoir, near Fiskville,
in the southwest corner of Cranston, about
fifteen miles from Providence, r. l., which
supplies number of mill villages along the
Pawtucket River, burst during the afternoon.
Three persons were drowned and much dam
age was done to property.
A man named Yeaw, who was about a
quarter of q mile off, noticed the water com
ing through the masonry of the dam, as he
describes it, as q stream about as big as a
barrel The hole was apparently growing
larger very radidly. The only living object
in sight was cow, few hundred yards
across the fields, which Yeaw succeeded in
rescuing, although the water was up to his
neck.
Meanwhile down the valley were Mrs.
Greene Tew, aged sixty; Mrs. Hawkins,
aged ninety, and Mrs. Tew's son, seven years
old
They were walking through a strip OF
wood and were overtaken by the flood and
drowned Their bodies were found in the
wood, through which the water quickly ran
until it emptied into the Pawtucket River.
The river rose rapidly and caused consider.
able alarm among people along its banks,
who thought that the Ponegansett reservoir,
the biggest in the State, had gone. Many Of
them left their houses and fed, but the flood
subsided as rapidly as it mad come.
The dam was built in 1887 for the service
of the Pawtucket Valley Company. The
reservoir covered eighteen acres and con
tanned about 35, 600, 600 gallons of water. The
dam is 925 feet long, seventeen feet nine
inches high and eight feet wide on top and
thirtY-fve feet wide at the bottom

LOND0N'S LABOR TROUBLES.
Business ParaIyzed Because $4,000
Workmen Strike

A cablegram from London gives the fol-
lowing particulars in regard to the strikes
now in progress there:
London is an inland town, and promises to
remain such for some time to come. All
communication with the rest of the
world by water is as completely
cut off as though the Thames had dried up.
The great ships lying at the docks can neither
load nor discharge their cargoes, and the I'M
mense traffic of the greatest commercial city
of the world lies at the mercy of men COM
mercially rated at 81 90 day.
The strike and its consequences touch every
man, woman and child in this great city.
No meat is arriving in London. The markets
in Mark Lane are paralyZed and maize adj
vanced 81 .25 the quarter for immediate use.
The strike which was begun by the dock
laborers and which subsequently spread to the
carmen, has now extended to the Thames IRON
workers. and the gas stokers threaten to join
forces with the strikers. There was also
talk of compelling laborers in all the trades
to quit work and force matters to an issue at
once The ironwOrkers' strike adds 1000 to
the number of unemployed. The men were
orderly.
The shipping business is completely para
lived, and mail steamers are leaving without
cargos. The tinplaters at Bermondsey, a
suburb of London have joined the strikers.
In Rotherhithe, the shipbuilding district of
London, professions of strikers are march
ing continually.
Eight thousand sailors and firemen and
2500 dockmen at Isle of Dogs where several
large docks are located, have gone out. The
authorities became apprehehsive of trouble,
and held the military in readiness TO suppress
an outbreak should it occur. The coal
porters at Kings Cross have also Joined in
the strike.
In consequence of the strike thousands of
tons of mutton are rotting it being impossi-
BILE to find men to handle the stock.
All classes of workingmen are dissatisfied,
and there is no telling where the strike will
not extend to. It is estimated that over
IS 900 men are on strike now.
