Charles Roome, thirty-third degree, of New
York, late Grand Master of Knights Templar of
the United States, which occurred June %, 1890
Gen. Pike thus alludes to his death: "0ur
very dear good brother, Gen. Charles Roome,
emeritus member of honor of our Supreme Coun-
Gil, after long lingering in the Valley of the
Shadow of Death, reached at length, on the 2Sth
of June, that fatal goal whitherward we also, all
OF us, are iourneying with incessant footsteps,
the way for each of us growing shorter with
each heartbeat. He has passed cut of this life
as star pales and vanishes from the sky as
sail fades out of sight beyond the far horizon, as
a tired wave glides up little way on the sand,
breaks there in little foam, aud slips back to
become again an indistinguishabe portion of the
sea- After tracing the early business career of
the deceased the Grand Commander alludes to
his Masonic history: ale became a Mason in
1866, was Grand Commander of Knights Tenn
plar of New ork in 1875, afterward Grand Mas
ter of Masons of that State and in 1886 Grand
Master of Knights Templar of the United States,
serving until September, 1889. In our Rite he
received the thirty-third degree and became an
honorary member of the Supreme Council for
the Northern Jurisdiction in 1872. AS mem
Der of the building committee of the Masonic
Temple in the city of New York he did much to
insure its completion, at one time, it is said, ad
vancing 100000 to relieve it from embarrass-
ment Pure of heart, of perfect integrity, most
worthy of the grand old name of gentleman
a heroic soldier, immeasurably generous, kind,
gentle affectionate, and tender-hearted, a fast,
firm friend, genially hearted and good humored,
considerate and indulgent, he was one to win
the esteem and honor, firm friendship and warm
affection" Gen. Roome will be well remembered
by the Masons of Washington during the last
trennial, held in this city, at which time he was
Grand Master of Templars Even at that time
his feeble health prevented him from taking as
active part in the deliberations of the Grand
Encalnpment as he desired, and in the pro-
! gramme of entertainments which had been pre-
pared by the local committee In his death Ma
sonry has met with a very severe loss and the
memory of his upright, noble manhood and his
great services to the order will live forever in
the remembrance of his brothers of the Masonic
fraternity.

HORROR UPON HORROR.
Pitiful sufferings of the Inhabitants OF
Tomsk.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 17.--Horrible
during the burning of Tomsk, the cap
ital of Western Siberia. The place was
visited simultaneously by confagration
and a cyclone, the result of the combined
disasters being the destruction of three
quarters of the buildings which were of
wood, and the less of hundreds of lives.
The cathedral, situated IN the high
town, is i'll ashes. The walls of the edifce
in falling, crushed an adjacent hospital,
burying the inmates, who We're sub
SeqUcntly roasted alive.
The garrison brutally refused to render
the least assistance in saving lives and
property, on the plea that they had enough
to do to protect the barracks and other
that they had no time to assist worthless
exiles."
In strong contrast to this action of the
troops, was that of the worthy bishop and
his assistant priests. Marching through
the burning city. at the head of process
sion, with banners and other sacred en-
blems, he stopped at frequent intervals to
give abSOlUtion to the dying and to
bless the dead: and never was the
consolation carried by these sacred rites
more greatly needed than by the panic
stricken mob of sufferers, who huddled to-
gether in ithe streets and, firmly believing
that the END of the world had come, aban-
doncd themselves to stolid despair.
AS ii fire and water were not capable of
inf1icting misery enough on the unfortunate
outcaStS. the storm was followed by a sud-
den fall i'll the temperature. and soon the
devastated city was buried beneath man
tic of snow that added cold to the sufferings
of thousands of shelterless men, women,
and phiIG-cr,

Unfermented Wine.

In the Methodist Conference at St.
Louis, on the 18th, the committee on
temperance reported in favor of infer
mented wine for the sacrament when
ever it was practicable, and approved
the resolutions introduced last week by
Messrs. East, Wall, and Haynes oppos-
ing all laws licensing or permitting the
manufacturing or sale of intoNieat-
ing liquors as a beverage, because
such laws provide for the continu
ance of A a traffic, and furnish no
protection against its ravages; that the
proper attitude of Christians toward the
drink traffic should be uncompromising
ly opposing; that voluntary total alb
stinence is the sole and true ground of
personal temperance, and complete le
gal prohibition of the traffic is the duty
of the government. The report went to
the calendar, and will, no doubt, cause
much debate when it comes up for con
sideration. The remainder of the SEES
sion was devoted to routine matters.

A dispatch of the 18th from Havana
says: At IL o'clock last night fire broke
out in Ysasi's hardware store IN a
short time the flames reached barrel
of powder in the building, and terrific
explosion followed. The whole struc-
ture was blown to pieces and twenty
two persons were killed. Among the
dead are four fire chiefs, Senores Mus
sci Sensoviech, Oscar Conili, Frances
co Ordonez, and the Venezuelan con-
sui; Senior Francesca Silva who hap
pened to be In front of the building
at the time Of the explosion In
addition to the killed over 100 persons
are injured. The explosion caused the
widest excitement throughout the city,
and thousands focked to the scene of
the disaster The ,governor-general,t the
civil governor and all the principal au-
thorities of the city were promptly on
the ground, and did everything in their
power to aid the injured AID calm the
grief-strlcken relatives of the victims.
Several houses adjacent to the wrecked
building were damaged by the eXplo
sion.
Shortly after the alarm crowds began
to collect at the fire, consisting mainly of
people on their way home from the
theaters. The fremen had Just gotten
several streams to playing through the
windows of the building, and it seemed
that the fire would be quenchedin few
minutes. No one knew that powder
was stored in the building, and the peo-
pie were crowded around as close
heat would permit. Suddenly, without
warming, there was the terri Die roar of
an explosion, and the air Was filled with
flying debris. The CROWD scattered,
panic stricken, many persons being
trampled upon who were left uninjured
by the explosion. Order was soon re-
stored, however, and it being evident
that no more explosions were to follow,
the work of rescue commenced. q
The damage to property amounts to
but a few thousand dollars.
Gangs of men are now at work on the
debris. Many human limbs have been
taken from the ruins. The relatives of
missing persons supposed to be in the
ruins are gathered on the spot, and as
the bodies are brought out the scenes
are most distressing.
The conduct of the authorities is the
subject of universal praise. The high
est officials have incurred personal risk
in conducting the search for the dead
and have offered the use of their own
carriages to convey the Injured to the
hospitals.
Ysasi, the proprietor Of the wrecked
hardware store, has been arrested
1t is feared that there are several
more victims in the ruins. Over the
theaters and the Chamber of Commerce
and many other buildings flags are hang
ing at half mast. Everywhere are signs
of mourning. Up to the present time
the number of the dead is thirty -four.

Terrible Death of James S. Parsells Try
ing to Dig Well.

Terrible Death of James ;. Parseus Try
ing to Dig Well.
James S. Parsells, who was night dis
patcher in the New York post-office,
met terrible death in the village of
Woodside, L. /. Parsells recently built
a house at Woodside for himself and
family, and had drive well in the yard.
In order to secure greater force of wa
ter Parsells decided to add a Sec
ton of pipe to that through which the
water was drawn from the ground.
He began to dig hole two feet in diam
eter around the well pipe. He had dug
down about fifteen feet and was near
the end of the pipe wken he felt himself
sinking and at once shouted to his son,
who was above, to throw rope to him.
He had struck quieksand and before
rope could be thrown to him he was
down to his waist in the sand. His son
quickly summoned help, and in a few
minutes half the male population of the
village was on the spot. A rope was
finally thrown down to the sinking
man, who placed it around his
body but all the efforts of those above
to pull him out were unavailing, and he
gradually sunk until his head only could
be seen. DIR. Wood obtained long rub
Der tube, one end of which he managed
to insert in Parsells mouth, through
which air was pumped to keep him
alive while a dozen men were digging
around him, but after nearly five hours
of suffering the unfortunate man died
from exhaustion
