1t is customary in the British army for

however, there is movement among

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29.-The Hon. John
r. Elan, former law partner of President
Harrison, has returned from his trip to the
northwest. Relative to the purported in
teryiew with him while away concerning
the presidents intentions regarding Sec
ond term, he said: 81 have not spoken to
President Harrison on any subject for about
year, and have never at any time heard
him say one word as to his wishes or pur-
poses with respect to The election of 1892;
nor do l, from any source, know anything
as to what he desires or intends. ex-
pressly said as much to all who
spoke to me on the subject while
in the northwest. 1 was often asked
wheter the president would, in my opinion,
be candidate for reelection, and 7 said
to a numbe of persons that thought
knew him we'll enough to say that he would
certainly do nothing that would subject his
administration to unfair criticism in any
effort to secure reelection, and that if it
came it would arise naturally out of the
situation. In other words, that he would
discharge every duty as it came to him,
fearlessly and conscientiously, and let re-
suits take care of themselves. How such
expressions, given merely as my opinions,
could have been distorted into the form
that am told they assumed in certain
newspapers do not know. 7 authorized
no publication and did not utter or write

BIG FIRE IN MOBILE.
TWENTY SQUARES BURNED IN
THE SOUTHERN CITY,,

Single Mill and Not Cotton Under Com
tool for Five Hours-The Losses Great.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct 27.-One of the most
disastrous CONGREGATIONS ever witnessed in
this city began Sunday about noon in the
Stewart & Butts shingle mill, and was not
gotten under control for five hours and
then only after q favorable change of the
wind. The fire department. and volunteers
worked with the utmost vigor. Three river
steamers, one ocean-going ship, the Mobile
& Ohio railroad wharf, the cotton seed oil
mills, eight warehouses. three cotton com.
presses, with probably 10000 bales of cot
ton, big ice factory, q box factory and
and some large coal sheds were destroyed.
In fact. the buildings bounded by the river
from Knox street. the northern boundary of
the city, to St. Louis street, on the south.
seven streets, and from the river front to
Royal street west, were burned out. The
losses will reach probably $4,000 with in
s,lrance Of 100000. There was no loss
OF life, although many fremen were over
come with the heat and smoke and had
narrow escapes from the falling walls.
Tho alarm of fire from Stewart g. Butts
mill had scarcely come in when a second
alarm was sounded for the burning of the
residence OF Moscly T. Tucker, on Dauphin
near Broad, which was completely burned.
The residence adjoining was also destroyed.
The two alarms being followed by general
alarm caused the greatest excitement
among all classes, and soon the report was
spread that the entire business portion of
the city was in danger and thousands of
men, women and children rushed to the
scene. No one felt safe even in the BUSH
ness portion of the city and wagons, drays
and all kinds of vehicles were engaged in
carrying away valuable books and papers.
More than twenty squares were burned.
The tracks Of all the railroads centering
here have been DISTRACTED by the debris in
the burned district and trains are delayed.

WINDS AND WAVES.
Terrible Force of the Elements on the
Coast of New England.

BOSTON. Mass. Oct. 29.-Ncw England
mas during tho last week, passed through
remarkable meteorological experience.
During that time four distinct cyclones
nave swept the coast. The heavy seas and
nigh tide caused by Saturdays gale had
not subsidized when, without the slightest
warning from the signal service, last night
howiins northeastern set in. Gen. Greedy
asserts that these gales are but part
OF one grand disturbance. but that gives
but little satisfaction to the victims. At
oayDreak yesterday morning the wind at
boston was blowing at the rate of fifty-six
miles an hour fromthe east. backing I'D the
highest tide known in years. In Boston the
entire water front is under water, the
wharves are going out of sight and vast
quantities of wood, coal and merchandise
are floating away. The cellars are. flooded
and considerable damage sustained.
On the coast the town of Situate was a
perfect Venice. The water stood two foct
deep in the postof1icc and the great rollers
came in from the sea. demolishing whole
row of buildings which faced the beach.
Merchants and families lose heavily at
Plymouth. The outer sandbar was, all that
saved the lower town from destruction,
In Lynn, Salem, Ncwburyport and Prince
ton, the entire lower business portions were
submerged and vast quantities of coal, fuel
and produce we're carrieu to sea. The
beaches art washed clean along the north
shore. The Revere 4 Lynn railroad and
the eastern railroad TRACKS are either torn
up or buried under tons of sand, seaweed and
wreckage. The hotels have all been de-
serted, as they are all more or less UNDER
mined and there is no trace of life in the
host OF pavillions, restaurants, etc. The
cattagers had to take refuge IN their second
stories, and at Beachmont, Revere and
Winthrop fleet of boats was busy all day
getting the inha bitants tut of their deluged
homes.
There is still a sadder tale from Cape Ann
to Cape Cod. The beach is one streak of
wreckage-spars, barrels, cabin doors and
pieces OF ships that are no more. Very few
bodies have, however, come ashore. At
Chatham five wreckers are reported off the
Chatham life-saving station. A big barken-
tine was sighted heading for the fatal reef.
Station after station along the beach was tel
ephoned to look out for her. Cannons were
hred, and everything done to show her she
was out of her COURSE but when she reached
the reef a squall envclopcd her, and when
1t passed she was no where to be seen, hav-
ing evidently been ground to pieces.
At Minot's light the high rollers go clear
over the seventy foot tower. Thousands
visit the beach to enjoy the granduer of the
elements.

Tense against art and decency at once. The
ladies have also large number of popular
tobacco signs on their list. They propose
TO make collection of what they consider
improper and demoralizing pictures, and
present them to the mayor with the recom-
mendation that he suppress them. There
has been quite a general movement of late
in other cities to suppress obscene advertts-
ing matter. Mrs. Sarah j. Latour is at
present the superintendent OF what f.
known as the ''Whito Shield'' work. At. the

and special attention was devoted to OBJ

Bailie was in some Of the fiercest bat
ties Of that terrible conflict, and was
always, when in action, found in the
thickest OF the fray, fighting like a
tiger. He was shot. sabered, and
bayoneted times without number, and
it is a wonder that he survived
as long as he did. His nose
and part of one ear had been slashed
off by saber. One foot was shot away
by cannon ball. A portion of one jaw
and q piece of his tongue had been
carried away by missile from bomb.
He had seven bullet wounds in his
body, and was altogether probably
the worst mutilated man on either side
to survive the civil war. There was
nothing sound about him but his brain.
He was writer of remarkable bril-
liancy and versatility, and for many
years had supported himself and family
by his pen. He had written number of
books, and was o frequent contributor
to the magazines and literary syndi-

successful.
@The scene of the hanging was near

bodies of the men were found by the

The executioners were drunk and made
q horrible job of it. They began by
tying one end of rope around SOL

over the limb of q. tree and drawing
him up The feet of the victims were
left SO close to the ground that their
toes dug holes in the earth in their

on one of the bodies, informing General
