Two Hundred Policemen Required
TO QueIl a Polish Church Riot.
BUFFALO, N. Y, February "A riot
occurred today in the vicinity of st. AL.
debert's church, in the second Polish
parish, East Buffalo, which it required
the full force OF 200 policemen to quell.
None were killed but several police men
were more or less injured by bricks and
other missiles, and the leader of the
rioters. a Polish woman, name unknown,
was badly hurt. The riot was the con.
tiuance OF the demonstration Of disfayer
with which Father Pswleg, tie priest
who was appointed TO this parish lately
by Bishop Ryan, had been received. By
order of Bishop Ryan, Father Pawler
tried to hold services this morning, The
priest notified the police that he would
obey orders, and asked for protection.
Over 200 policemen were therefore sent
to his sid.
The priest was escorted in his buggy
to the church by Gordon of armed detec.

the church, fully $500 Polish women
and girls. The men stood aloof on the
other side of the street and looked on
The policemen we're instructed not tc

The Polish women fought like enragec
tigers and pushed the policemen away
from the gate by sheer force of numbers
finally the policemen beat down the bar

Then from their aprons the women pro
duced salt and pepper, and flung it in
the eyes of the policemen scratched
bit, struck, kicked and yelled like et
many cats.
The arrival of the priest was the sigma
for the climax of the riot. The womer
hurled themselves in mass on his car

woman, who acted as the leader, actually
caught the priest by the throat and woul(

men to pull her off. The Polish men nov

comes from Sierra City, Cal. that on the
evening of the 18th ult., snowslide oc-
cured at Loganville, two miles distant,
killing Mrs. Leidstromm and John w.
Foye. 1t was at Sierra City whe % the
great avalanche of January Sd came
down, killing seven people. Several
houses were wrecked at Loganville.
Mrs, Laidstromm and her husband had
evidently just gone to bed when the slide
came, for they were in their night
clothes, and all that prevented Leid-
stronm from being froz INTO death before
he was found, was blanket which still
remained over him. When found he
was unconscious and his shoulder dislo-
cated.' His stepson, FOye, must have

EXCOMNIUNICATED.
The Anathema Pronounced on q
Wicked Russian.

SAN FRANCISCO. February p This
morning, Bishop Vladimir, of the Gr@co.
Russian church in this city, excommuni-
Gated Nicholas Russell, a member of the
church.. and pronounced on him the
suathema, or curse. The reasons lie gave
for the act were that Russell had refused
to receive sacrsmsnts for three
years, had refused to acknowledge the
authority of the clergy of the Russian
church in America, and had married
here without getting divorce from
lother wife in Russia. Ex.communi-
cation is very heavy punishment. It
is stated that in the history of the world,
only two men have been so punished by
the Russian Church. One of these was
King and the other was Byron's Ma
Zeppa.

THERE is a pretty widespread opinion
that Mr.. Speaker Reed is taking good
deal of wig on himself, barring all ques-
tions at issue. Our Republican con-
temporaries lay great deal of stress
upon the Democratic precedents, which
they have dug out of the proceedings of
several State Legislatures. They are
careful, however, to ignore the only Con-
gressionsl precedent that applies to the
issue. Mr.. Dyer, in his .recollections
of Congress, gives a graphic picture of
the scene. The question was on the pas
sage of the celebrated Force bills"
which were intended to rivet
the Federal chains on the
people of the South, and the Democrats
occupied then precisely the position they
occupy now. They sought to defeat the
passage of these Objectionable measures
by breaking the quorum. Though pres.
ent they failed to answer tostheir names.

Fated Boston.
Boston, February 2.-The Sears build
ing, magnificent tive-story marble
structure, occupied by the Second Ma
tional and Atlas Banks, and insurance
lawyers and brokers' offices, burned
this morning. The building was vslued
at 5000, 900; insurance, $175,000 The
yearly rental of the building brought in
$75, 900. The loss to the banks and eff
ces is total, but the amount has not yet
been ascertained. Two buildings ad-
joining were slightly damaged. Two
firemen were badly hurt, but not thought
| to be fatally.
THE NORTH STREET HOLOCAUST.
1t is now known that in this mornings
North-street fire ten persons were burned
to death, three others fatally wounded,
and six more seriously, if not mortally
hurt. 1t is believed the fire started in a
clothing store on the first floor. Before
| it was discovered it had eaten
through the partition wall of the
hallway which contained the stairs lead
ing to the tenemente above, and thus cut
off all escape for the occupants.
SCENES OF TERROR.
The scenes which occurred among the
inmates when they were awakened, were
of the most exciting description. Shrieks
OF terror, groans of agony and cries for
help filled the air. Men, women and
children filed the windows and piteously
pleaded for help. Some of the more
venturesome even hung from the win
dows by only slight hold on stills. Lad.
ders were quickly hoisted, lines of hose
hufriedly run off, and in ten minutes the
fear of personal safety had subsded.
Those whom it was possible to save had
been taken from their positions of peril,
and the wounded had been taken to
places where their injuries could be cared
for.
HoRRIFYING G SIGHTS.
After the fire was practically ex-
tinguished, Chief Weber, followed by
several firemen went into the building
and with difficulty assembled to the upper
floors. When they reached them, a sight
that Mortified them met their eyes.
Under ore OF the windows crouched a
human form, burned to crisp almost,
the two palms clasped together and
kneeling as if in prayer. Further search
disclosed more bodies covered with Gin
ders and ashes. Seeing escape from the
flames below to the street impossible
because the stairs were roaring mass OF
flames, the terrified victims had evi.
IDENTIFY rushed to the upper floor in their
attempts to escape, and there had been
roasted as if held in furnace. Later
two bodies of infants were removed from
other parts of the building, and list o
ten human lives was made up. The in
juyed were removed to the hospital ant
the dead bodies taken to the morgue fol

door was burst open, the smoke gave
strong indications that the stairs anc

\ New Gold Saver.

l. F. Sheldon, prominent Mis- souri railroad official, is at present in Denver in the interest of one of
 the most remarkable inventions of
 the age-an invention that is des-
 tined to revolutionize the gold min
 ing industry of the country. A
 Denver man is the inventor, and the
 machine is called the hydrogen free
 gold and quicksilversaving machine and Is new process for saving gold
 from mill tailings. The process is a complete reversal of all former
 methods and is one that promises almost fabulous results. Heretofore in gold mining the crushed ore has,
 by means of water, been passed over copper plates loaded with quick silver, ard where the metal was very fine large portion of it was  carried away by the action of the water. This loss was considered unavoidable, for when the current was reduced to such a point as to permit an approximate absorption of all the metal the work was too slow. By the new process it is said that every particle of gold or silver can be saved and refractory and low grade ores can be treated as success fully as others. From one to thirty dollars per ton more, it is asserted, can be saved from ordinary ore. One of the machines can handle 100 tons of ore per day.-Exchange.

"What do you think of trees 65O feet high?" said Prof. F. O. Plum mer to the editor of thu Olympia a Tribune. "They are to be found," continued the professor, "that high in the unsurveyed townships near the foot of Mt. Tacoma; and what is more, 1 have seen them and made an irs 'rumental measurement of number with that result. There are lots of trees near the base of Mt. Tacoma whose foliage is so far above the ground that it is inn possible to tell to what family they belong, except by the bark. Very few people know or dream of the immensity of our forest growth. I wish that some of our large trees could be sent to the Worlds Fair at Chicago. We could send flag pole, for instance, from 300 to 400 feet long.

A horse with mustache is some thing of a novelty, and such cu- riosity attracted quite large crowd on Front street one afternoon. The animal is jet black, and from his upper lip grows a bunch of hairs of a light color and as thick as the hair on his body, but measuring over two inches in length and as stiff as bristles. This hair parts in the middle and curls to the side, as does a mustache on the lip of a man, showing that it has been quite carefully trained.

In speech at St, Louis last Fri lay Henry George said:
 Before entering into his subject, he wished to congratulate his hear CTS upon the last election. He was glad and proud of it. He had told the people in Australia long ago that they would learn the fallacies of protection practiced there, wall ing one colony from the other and the whole continent from the out side world. He had told the peo- pie in the United States the same thing and they had proved him right, better than he had dared hope. But the reform was not to be gained merely by sweeping ma jorities. The spirit of the people must be moved.
 The single tax, was, he said in the first place, free trade-not re- duction of tariff, but free trade without bar or impeachment, simply the right given man by God to pur- sue a useful occupation. Free trade should go further than the custom house. His party proposed to abolish all taxes save one tax on land values, irrespective ofimprove- ments. The single tax would mere | ly leave to the people the reward of their labor and thrift. Land of it. self has no value. It is free as the air and as the air should be, the equal property of all men.
