SAVED THE TOWN,
But Many of Its Best Buildings
Are DESTROYED.

SALAMANCA, N. z, May 1.-THE
village of Ellieottville. thirteen miles
north of here, was visited by a disas-
trous fire this morning, which destroyed
one-half of the business places on the
north side OF Main street. The fire
originated in the McMahon dwelling.
adjacent to Mcmahon Bros store, and
was discovered at IL o'clock, while
the family were at church.
The village has no fire de-
partment or apparatus. The peo-
pie went brayely to work with
buckets, but the fire spread. Telegrams
were then sent TO Salamanca, Bradford
and Buffalo requesting aid. A special
train from Salamanca. carrying a
steamer and two hose carts manned by
paid firemen. was the first to arrive.
The fire had then been raging more
than an hour. and it seemed as If the
whole north side of Main street was in
flames. Hastily wetting down the
walls that were in immediate danger of
bursting into flames. the fremen direct
ed their efforts against the further
spread of the fire. They succeeded. and
the town was saved. The Crawford
house, two-story frame building, was
the largest structure burned, and
the flames were stopped there.
Nothing was burned on the
south side OF the street. When
the Bradford train appeared about an
hour after the arrival Of the Salamanca
companies. the fire was under such con-
troll that the Bradford engine was not
taken from the car. The Salamanca
firemen were nearly exhausted. Fol-
lowing is the list of burned buildings:

Bros, store; Crawford house and barns.

LITTLE FALLS, May 11.-The remains
found in the woods near Hansen's dam,
On the Platte river, an account of which
was published in last Fridays GLOBE,
are supposed to be those of man
named James Shiels, who worked on
the Little Falls Water Power company's
dam here over two years ago. and who
atterward taught school in the town Of
Parker. He disappeared from here
about that time, and the description
tallIes almost exactly with that of
Mr.. ShielS. His actions while
here attracted attention on account Of
his strange manner, and it was very
evident that he was afflicted with a mild
form of insanity. This was particularly
noticeable while he was in attendance
at the teachers institute at RoyaltOn, in
the spring of 1883. where he vigorously
attacked the position Of State Superin-
tendent Kiehle, Assistant Pendergast
and Mrs. Jaques, who were present, in
regard to methods in teaching. his
strange conduct was noticed at the time
and spoken Of by those present. He
was native Of an Eastern state.

STOCKHOLDERS PREFERRED.
The Financial Scheme OF the
Worlds Fair Commute.

The Financial Scheme or the
Worlds Fair Commute.
CHICAGO. May Stockholders and
not bondholders are to be the preferred
class il the finances of the worlds fair.
So the committee on ways and means
decided at its meeting yesterday. The
original financial scheme contemplated
the issuing of bonds to the extent of
making up any difference between the
amount of stock subscribed and S10,000,-
OOO-the amount required to be raised.
The outlook for the subscription OF the
entire S10,OO0,000 or stock is so promls-
ing that the committee decided not to
issue bonds. This will make unneces-
sary any pledge of receipts to guarantee
the payment of bonds. 1t will put the
stockholders in the position of being
the first to receive the benefits of
financially successful outcome OF the
fair, instead of making them subsidiary
to the bOndhOlders. For director gen
eral new name has been suggested
that of W. B. Strong, late president of
the Santa Fe road. There are two
strongly urged candidates for the secre-
tarvship-Col. 81. G. COrbin, Of Chicago,
and President Walker. of the Boston
Institute of Technology. The latter
made a special study of the Paris expo
SitiOu.

CARLIsLE IN THE LEAD.
The Kentucky Senatorial Contest
Recomin1 Lively.

Becoming Lively.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1.-THE SEN
atorial contest has gone forward briskly
to-day. Ex-Congressman Mckenzie
reached Frankfort late last night, and
tonight formally announced himself.
Aside from this, there is little new as
tothe candidates or estimates of strength
on the first ballot in the Democratic
caucus Monday night. 1t IS generally
understood that no election will be
made until the caucus nominates. All
agree that Carlisle will have big lead
on the first ballot and the rest OF the
votes will be pretty evenly divided be-
tween Knott, McCreary, Mckenzie.
Buckner, Lindsay and Reeves. EX-
State Senator Laban 7. Moore, OF Cat
lettsburg. and eX-Minister Boyd WIN
chester, Of Louisville, will probably not
be in the race at all. They have not
allowed an announcement OF their
names. Carlisle's friends are aggres-
siYe and want to push the contest 10 a
conclusion the first night. They hardly
hope their chief can be stronger oy q
long waiting fight. On the other hand,
all the others believe they will do better
by waiting, and they will be able to
prevent a nomination at once.
EX-Congressman MeCreary is held to
be especially favored in any prolonged
fight, on account of his good general
shin and popular manners. Itis claimed
he never came out of race weaker
than when ne went in. But, IN this
case, it is not generally believed ne can
win, no matter how long the contest
lasts. Gov. Buckner has developed
great strength. His friends have been
stirred up Dy the movements OF the
enemies he has made by vetoing bad
measures, and by his criticism OF the
late Judge Jackson, of Louisville. w.

is said to have twenty-fouT
votes pledged against Buckner. Buck
ner's friends, in response. have been
moving everything in their power, anu
it is believed when the final test comes
il will be between him and Carlisle.
His record as q governor has made him
very strong with the people. and while
he has offended many politicians, MS
friends claim that Legislators who re-
gard their standing with their constltu-
encies can turn from him only to Car
Isle. The caucus will probably refuse
to adopt the rule Of dropping candidates
with the lowest votes. Only one or TWO
ballots will be taken Monday night, and
adjournment will be had till tuesday
night and so on until a nomination is
made,

remarkable land conflict is in progress
on Fishing creek. Wetzei county. Mrs.
l.. Robinson, of this place, is the owner
of some five thousand acres of land in
that section. She has cut thousands Of
feet of timber out of it and made ex.
tensive improvements. A large number
of Squatters have settled on the land at
various times, and they have given the
owners much trouble. Recently Mrs.
Robinson built some houses and rented
them to tenants. The sQuatters have
objected to this and threatened to expel
I e renters. On Wednesday last a
mob of nearly one hundred men gath
cred at one OF Mrs. RObinsOn's houses
and began to threaten the inmates. a
widow and her family. Sheriff Wyatt,
OF WetZel county, was hastily sum-
mOned and commanded The peace. The
mob paid no attention to him. They
drove the family out OF the house ana
then tore it to pieces, after which they
fired the ruins. One Aye is SAID to have
been the leader of the squatters. The
affair has created intense excitement in
that section. The members of the mob
are-k known and warrants are out for
their arrest. though there may be

UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.
Heads Are Topped OF All Along
the Line.

OMAHA. Neb., May 11.-An official
order was Issued from the Union Pacific
headquarters yesterday by Vice Presi-
dent Holcomb announcing the resigna-
ton of c. II. McKiDben, general pur-
chasing agent. and the appointment of
L. s. Anderson. of Boston; as his sue
cessOr. j. K. Choate. superintendent of
the Colorado division, has also resigned.
and Re- Duncan. general manager of
the Fort Worth & Denver, succeeds
him. The resignation Of Mr.. McKibben
was the result of a personal difference
between him and Vice President Hol-
comb. The trouble dates back to the
time when President Adams counter
manded the clrcuIarissued by HoIcomb,
in which MIR. Charles, of the Burling-
ton. was to take McKibben's place.
Adams overruIed Holcomb, and ap-
pointed McKibben. These changes
promote o. 0. Winters to the place
made vacant by Duncan. All the Col
orado lines have been consolidated into

THROWN A THOUSAND FEET.
Terrific Explosion Of Locomotive
Engine at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 11.-About 2
O'Clock this afternoon Lehigh Valley
Engine No. 261, George Pearl engineer
and Henry j. O'Connor fireman,
started for East Buffalo with a
string of twenty-seyen cars. The
train was moving slowly and had
crossed the Lake Shore tracks at the
Buffalo Creek junction when the loco
motive exploded. A roar was heard
like the discharge of a battery of heavy
artillery, the earth trembled as though
with an earthquake. and the air
was filed with flying fragments
of IRON. steel. brass and
timber, accompanied by cloud
of mingled steam and dust. Engine
261 had disappeared and all that re-
mained of its fifty tons of mechanism
were the six driving wheels. the truck
and wheels at the forward end and the
disabled tender at the rear. The track
was ripped from the ties and bent out
of shape, the ground was torn up
for some distance and broken tele-
graph and electric light wires dangied
from their posts tangled mass. Desc
lation and ruin mad been wrought in the
twinkling of an eye. and two lives had
been sacrificed like the Snuning of a
candle. for there was no trace of either
engineer or fireman. What was appar-
entity a human body was seen fiying
through the air at an elevation of 100
feet and was observed to fall on the.
Lake Shore railroad at least 1,O00 feet
west of where the explosion occurred.
The body of the other unfortunate man
took northeasteriv course at high ell
ovation and dropped into the creek 500
feet away. In the ditch to the
west was the shattered tWenty-five-ton
boiler, on the other side, 500 feet dis
tant, was the crown sheet. battered and
twisted out Of shape. and across the ad-
iaeeDt slip the dome and huge frag-
ment of the boiler lay upon the coal
dumping pier of the Buffalo, Rochester
&s Pittsburg railroad, 400 feet away. In
striking, it had crushed into the timbers
and sent great splinters in all
directions. A switch shanty along side
the track was badly wrecked. Soon a
search for the missing engineer and
fireman was begun. The body of Pearl
was found in the creek. 1t was brought
to the surface and hoisted to the coal
dock. Its condition was shocking.
Apparently every bone was broken,
the head and face were fright
fully mutilated, as was also
the trunk, nearly the entire abdomen
| being torn away. O'Connor's body was
found between the stumps of two trees
| alongside the Lake Shore tracks. The

taken to-day in the fight between the
union carpenters and the old Master
Carpenters association. Six hundred
printed circulars of warning were sent
out by the journeymen to various
unions throughout the United States
and Canada. The circulars are to the
effect that the strike against the old
bosses is not off, and urging that every
means be taken to keep carpenters from
coming to Chicago. This action of the

the latest efforts of the old employers
