Shocking Accident in New York.

A fire broke out in the kitchen of the res
taurant in the big fve-story tenement at
3O5 Seventh avenue New York City. Nine
of the sixty occupants of the house lost their
lives. The building was occupied by thirteen
families, who have been made temporarily
homeless by the fire. The pecuniary loss
will not amount to more than $4,000
The fire originated at an hour when all til:
people in the house were sleeping soundll
Just how the fire started is as yet q
mystery, but as the restaurant cook is
missing, it is fair to presume that
an accident occurred while he was making
the fire in the big range. Less than half q
block away, stood Policeman Warner and
McCuIlagh, of the Thirteenth street station.
They received o warning from q cry of pain
which came from the building, and, looking
in the direction of whence it came, saw n
wall of fire beating against the front wiz
dows of the restaurant. With their
clubs the two officers beat in the
front door, but spiteful blaze
shot out and warned them back. They tried
the next door and in that way found an en-
trance. Fire escapes leading from the burn
ing building to the as yet untouched tenc
ment next we're soon filled up with half-nake
people, frantic to reach the street. In the
meantime the fire department had arrived
uuu udu UeSuH "OIA Ou lll0 dIIu were
assisting in rescuing the frightened in
mates. The flames were extinguished easi
ly enough by the firemen, and the people
on the fire escapes were all landed
safely. Not one person escaped down the
stairway. The search for the dead was be-
gun as soon as possible. The first body
found was that of old William Glennon. The
boys were taken to the hospital. They were
badly burned on the feet, caused by walking
on the hot iron bars of the fire escape. Ir
the rooms of the Wells family was sight
which cannot easily be forgotten
In the middle Of the fool
knelt the mother, Mary Wells, anG
in her dead embrace where her children Jane
and Thomas. Sny der, the keeper of the res
taurant in which the fire broke out, has beer
arrested on suspicion of being responsible,
for its origin. A policy of insurance fol

Looking for Lost Relatives

Andrew Mcdonald, a wellto-do citizen
of Frankfort, Pa, and the Superintendent
of the Friends asylum for the insane at that
place, called at police headquarters in New
York. He was in search of his father, q
sister and brother. The story told by him
was one of a decidedly romantic nature. In
1867 his father, Owen, his mother, two sis
ters and two brothers came to New York
Times were hard then with the Mcdonald
family, and on May 2 of that year, Andrew.
who was six years old, his brother Edward
nine and his sister Mary still younger, were
found wandering on Mulberry street without
friends or home, They were picked up
by the police and sent to Randall's island
Eleven days afterward Andrew and Edward
were taken by the children's aid society and
put on O farm in Greenville, Darke county,
Ohio. There they remained until twenty -one
years of age. They had managed to save a
small sum of money during their apprentice
ship and shortly atterward bought O farm
which is cared for by Edward. A few years
ago Andrew began search for his missing
relatives and discovered one OF his sisters liv-
ing in Baltimore, married to Chris
Rhsin. From her he learned of tho
death of his mother; who had died uf
o broken heart because of the loss Of her
children, but that their father was still alive
in New York, as was their brother Patrick,
to the locality of their residences. The sis
ter said that when their mother learned that
her boys had been taken away by the Chill
dren's Aid society, she made every effort to
find their whereabouts, but the officers OF
the society declined to give any inform
alton. When Andrew asked his sister
as to the whereabouts of their sister
Mary, she said that the little one
had been taken from Randalls island
and had been placed with the Catholic Sis
ters. In 1884, according to tho narator's
story, she sent lady friend OF hers to the
Home of the Good Shepherd to learn if any
trace of the lost one could be had. There she
was told that Mary was there, but could not
be seen, as she was in retirement. When An
drew called ut the institution, the mother su-
perior informed him that his sister had left
the institution in 1875. This was in direct
contradiction of the story told to the lady
who visited the placein 1884, Mr.. Mcdonald
will continue the search for his relatives.

A Montana Hanging. 2


Harry Roberts was hanged at Butte, M T
for the murder of J. W. Crawford on May II
last The killing grew out of q
quarrel between the two men,
Crawford being a wagon boss and
Roberts, a teamster in the employ of E. Cor
rea, ore transfer man for the Silver Bow
mill. dispute occurred between them,
which had led to blows, when Crawford
knocked Roberts down with a pitchfork.
Roberts harbored revenge, and sought an
opportunity to kill Crawford, which came
at the noon hour on May a.
when Roberts went into Correa's boarding
house for dinner and saw Crawford STOPPING
over a wash bowl, when he drew his pistol
and shot the defenseless man through the
body, killing him. The district court being
in session, an indictm ent was found and he
was placed on trial June 3, and on the even
ing of June B he was found guilty
The supreme court refused to entertain an
appeal, but Gov White granted him q respite
of one week at the eleventh hour. During
this week the friends of the condemned
actively circulated a petition for commnta-
t1on to lite imprisonment which was signed
by many Grand Army comrades and some
citizens, However the governor decided
to let the law take its course. A strong
! feeling of Indignation at interference pre-
| vailed In Dutte, land Roberts met, his fate

In bookkeeping experience has proven that
Cash is the right way and Credit the wrong
way. Taking the buyers Cash for goods and
charging on the books the same goods at the
same price to credit buyers who may pay
promptly or never pay at all, is simply making
the Cash Buyer pay for the Credit System,
with its expenses of Bookkeepers, Collectors,
Bad Debts Stationery, Postage and number
of other Costly Evils attending such system
which largely increase the cost of the goods to
every buver. in evety retail store that in any
way engages in the Credit System.
The many attempts TO establish stores with
two prices-one for Cash and another for Credit
has in every instance proven hopeless fail
ure. On the other hand the One Price Cash
system has proven a Decided Success, and is
still growing in favor. 1t deals even handed
with every one and materially Reduces the
Cost of Goods During the past week we have
marked down every article in the store to meet

Gle sold. and if unsatisfactory the purchaser

After thorough survey or tue nelu' II - oUi
opinion that Democratic success viii be best
promoted by not holding any caucus lot 'ne
senatorhip.- West Virginia Democrat.
A few years ago the Legislature Of Hi
nois. democratic by a small majority, was
charged with the duty of electing success
sor to Senator John A. Logan. Nearly all
the democratic members preferred the emf
pept tariff reformer, VIM. r. Morrison, but
a few obduratc democrats refused to vote
for him and prevented an election. During
the delay several members died, and the al
lair ended in the reelection Of Gen. Logan.
Democratic success was not thereby promo
ted.
Later. a majority Of the members of the
dominant party in the New Jersey Legisla-
ture desired the election to the U 5. Senate
ofthe brilliant and distinguished democrat,
Gov. Albeit. A few, however, were op-
posed to the choice of the majority, and
combined with the republicans to elect
Blodgett, railroad man and prOtectionist
Mr.. Blodgett has since acted with the DEM
ocrats in the Senate, but the Democrat will
hardly admit that democratic success was
greatly promoted by the choice Of an indie
pendent democrat with railroad interests
and protectionist procliyities!
Now. with a majority OF one on joint bal
lot the democrats in the West Virginia
Legislature will have to vote together in
order to elect a SenatOr-unless some Of
them can effect a combination with repub-
lican members. We have no idea that any
democrat elected to our legislature would
vote for a republican for the U. 5. Senate,
but i, has been intimated frequently that
the republicans-failing to secure a Senator
of their own choosing, would be willing and
glad TO unite with any democrats who might
be so disposed, and elect democrat lean
ing strongly to high-tarif principles in pre-
ference to some more orthodox aud aggres-
sive representative of the principles of the
democratic party. How would that suit
the Democrafs Or if an election should be
prevented by the failure OF democrats 10
vote together the State would be deprived
Of part of her representation in the Senate,
as the Governor has no power toappOnt;~
or. as the West Virginia democratic legis-
lators are but mortal, the Morrison-Logan
political tragedy might be re-enacted. But
as the Democrat prefers republican it does
ike 20 a democrat it doesn't for the Sena-
torship, it would probably be satisfied.
It is evident that an agreement will have
TO be reached by the democrats on the Sen
atorship question. And the most natural
arrangement would be for the choice Of the
majority to bind all, even as the act of a
majority thereof is the act Of the whole leg
stature
