A Fraud Exposed

A number of Virginia Democratic
papers published what purported to be
an interview with ex-President Hayes,
of Ohio, in New York, in which he is
made to severely denounce the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. The following dis
patch will speak for itself VIII the
papers that published the falsehood
have the fairness to publish the refuta-
ton of it? The dispatch is dated Cleve-
land, O., Oct 8:
Several days ago there was telegraph
ed out of New York to free trade papers
in the West an alleged interview with
General Rutherford B. Hayes, in which
the ex President was made to say that
the Mckinley bill was measure calcu-
lated to have a harmful effect, and that
It's passage would result in the over
throw Of the Republican party. The
interview was clipped and sent to Gen
eral Hayes by gentleman in this city.
The reply that came back was like this
'Dear sir-The interview was fabri-
cation. never submit to interviews on
political questions. &. B. Hayes"

The Fatal Flames.

A telegram from Syracuse, N. Y, ola
ted the 10th, gave the following account
of the burning of a magnificent Hotel
and the fearful scene associated with it.
"The magnificent Leland, the finest
appointed hotel in Central New York, is
to-day nothing but mass of shoulder
ing ruins At 12:45 this morning fire was
discovered in the kitchen, located on the
second floor. Inside of Is minutes the
building was in flames from end to end,
and before 80 minutes had elapsed the
walls had fallen. At first it was feared
that the loss of life was in the neighbor-
hood of thirty, but as the day wore along
! the number of missing and dead was re-
duced to seven or eight. When the
flames began to sweep through the no.
| tel, the automatic fire alarm bells ava
kened the guests who could hardly real
| ize what was the matter. The flames
and smoke rushed through the halls, cut
| ting off the means of escape to those
who delayed. Strong men seemed to be
hurriedly donned some of their clothing
and girded about them the fire escape
with which each room was equipped, and
| by which means many lives were saved.
| In many windows of the five stories of
! the burning building could be seen men
and women, piteously calling for help or
making their escape by means of the
rope appliances. In a window on the
fifth story man and woman were seen
struggling in each others arms. The wo-
man evidently wanted to throw herself
out of the window. Below them was a
sea of flames. Soon after they were lost
to view. One of the guests lowered him
self by a rope half way down from the
fourth floor, when the rope burned off,
and he fell to the ground and was killed.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
| by the tiremen in raising ladders to the
windows. owing to the overhead tele-
graph wires, and many persons in the
| upper stories, including several ladies,
were compelled to spring from their win
dows. The total loss exceeds 1915, 700.-
| Considerable loss was sustained by the
American Express Company adjoining
the hotel. The inmates of the hotel lost
heavily in personal effects. 1t is proba-
BILE that the loss of life will not exceed
eight persons-three guests and five SER
wants. About thirty persons were Sc
verely injured.

Were q hundred new houses to be

rented or sold within a month after COM
pletion. We have never known such a
demand for residences, and we have
