victim. and before any practical aid could
be rendered him the flames had reduced his

bile bone and flesh. Ii was a horrible spec
tacle: that will live in the memory Of those
who witnessed it as long as life lasts.
Macon Telegraph: A petition is in cir
culstion among members of the board Of
trade calling for meeting to lake some
action concerning the coming aldermanic
election. Ii is proposed TO have meeting
! OF the board Of trade, which will arrange
for a mass meeting Of citizens in general to
nominate a full citizens ticket. The petit
tion has been numerously signed, and it is
considered certain that the meeting will be
held early next week. RumOr has it that
the proposed ticket has already been sug-
gested. aud that J. II. Turner.
W. NJ. Gordon and W. A. Good
year have been named as candi-
dates from the First. Third aud
! Fourth wards II also reliably rumored that
the board of trade wishes to act IN con-
| junction with the Nstiopal Railway League
Of Macon, and assert this by proposing TO
indOrse two Of the leagues prospective can
didates. Ii is said that they are also will
ing TO indorse another good railroad man
from the Second ward. The originators Of
the movement are all leading citizens, and
they are circulating the petition In person,
and with a vim that means business. Some
three or four days a full citizens ticket Is
sure to be put in nomination and fought for
as has seldom been done in Macon.
Atlanta Herald: There is a state law
which provides that all convicts sentenced
In Georgia shall, In case OF death, be turned
over TO the different medical schools for
dissection. The bodies OF these unfortunates
are brought to the city in Einc-lined boxes
made especially for the purpose, and here
turned over to one or the other of the medi-
cal colleges 10 whichever they are con-
signed. 1t would appear that these boxes
are not handled by the porters of the ex-
press company here with any very great
care and it was an accident that occurred
through the carelessness that brought forth
the exclamation from the merchant quoted
above. 1t seems that a few days ago two
negro convicts who were serv-
ing out life sentence in
the Dade mines. while employed
at float. were killed by premature ex-
plosion. In accordance with the state law
governing the matter their somewhat
mangled remains were gathered up and
placed together in one box and shipped TO
Atlanta. Upon the arrival of the grue-
some casket hero it was taken TO an express
Office on truck. In unloading it the por-
ters slid the box ca-elessly from the truck,
the lid sprung open and the mangled re-
mains Of the cow cts, from which every
vestige OF clothing had been removed, rolled
out upon the floor. The gentleman quoted as
denouncing the sacrilege, said that he in
tended to bring the matter TO the attention
of the proper state authorities.

NEW ORLEANS BANKRUPT.
It Cannot Pay the Judgment Won by the
Myra Clark Gaines Succession.

1t Cannot Pay the Judgment Won by the
Myra Clark Gaines Succession.
NEW ORLEANS, April ia final judg-
ment, based on the mandate OF the
United States Supreme Court in the
matter of William Wallace Whitney,
administrator of the succession Of Myra
Clark Gaines against the. city OF
New Orleans. has been rendered in the
United States Circuit Court by Judge E..
Billings. The decree is for about $561, 900,
with interest at 5 per cent, for ten years,
making the total nesrly $3.50, 900. An exc
cution was duly issued, and United States
Marshal Donnelly to-day made formal de-
mand on Mayor Shakespeare for the amount
of the judgment, and was told that the city
was bankrupt.
The case is still complicated by the Evans
will, which a number of experts, familiar
with Mrs. Gaines handwriting, have de-
clared was written by her. If this
will be admitted to probate the heirs
under its provisions, who have taken
no part in the litigation thus far, and
who are not bound by the decree. even if
the city paid the judgment to Whitney as
administrator, might still be in a position
to press their claim. The litigation in the
Gaines case was commenced some so years
ago. and in some of its various phases has
been before the courts ever since
The will which Mrs. Gaines declared
was made by her father, Daniel Clark, was
probated before the war, and the first decree
against the city was entered in 1860 for
81, 900, ,OOO About 5000, 900 has been ex-
pended for litigation on both sides. It is
not impossible that all of the judgments will
be eaten up by promises to pay. which Mrs.
Gaines is said to have issued quite freely
some time before her death.

TWO STOLEN CHILDREN.
THEIR MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Is
EXPLAINED.

The Parties Who Kidnapped Them Make
an Explanation and Are Arrested-De-
scription of the Culprits and Their Mo-
tives-The Children Were in Pittsburg.
SPRINGFIELD, O.. April IA tre-
mendous sensation was caused here tonight
by the arrest OF DIR. L. E. Niles. G. Cutler,
his wife, Efie Cutler, and Ellen Talbot on a
charge of ehild-stealing or kidnapping. The
three last named have made a full confession
to taking the two little sons of DIR. Niles
from the place where they were boarding,
pending the decision OF the habeas corpus
case, which would decide whether they
should be in the custody of DR.. Niles or his
wife. Mrs. Niles attorney. John L.
Zimmerman, took the confession, and
it is extremely sensational-iu fact,
one of the most remarkable cases
of child-stealing on record in
Ohio. Miss Ellen Talbot, who is an old
maid, dressmaker, about 45 years old, who
lives at 18 East North street. where the
children were kept. con essed that she hired
a horse and buggy at the livery stable, and
took The children at o'clock in the
morning to the place of Mr.. and
Mrs Cutler, near st. Paris. They took
care Of them until last Thursday, April 9,
when they were taken to Pittsburg, from
which city they were taken East few days
ago. 1t is supposed the children are now in
some small town in Vermont.
DR., Niles was arrested at his Office to-
night on a warrant sworn out by detective.
Niles still keeps a stiff upper lip, and
claims that he will come out all right. G.
c. Cutler, who with his wife took care of
the children, and is consequently impli-
Gated in the plot, is a carpenter. Miss
Talbot, who did the stealing, is a
dressmaker. She claims she has received
nothing for her services as yet, but says her
livery bill has been settled. 1t is said that
the Cutters have already received $40 from
the agents of DR.. Niles for their services in
the business. 1t could not be learned who
the agents of DR.. Miles were, as the detec-
tives and attorneys refused to divulge it.
No steps will be taken to recover the
children until the parties are arraigned
Monday. Sheriff Baker went to the country
this afternoon and arrested the Cutters and
lodged them in Jail tonight.

FAITH IN BLAINE,

Seth Milliken. Says the Flumed Knight Is
More Popular Than Ever.
WAsHIN GToN, April 19.-Representa-
tive Seth Milllken. of Maine, is not a Blaine
enthusiast; in fact. be rather sides with Reed
in the factlonal fight in the Pine Tree State.
Nevertheless, he is a steady going believer
in the destiny of the Plumed Knight. Mr..
Milliken regards Blaine's reciprocity scheme
as new Mercator's projection. upon which
the Republicans can map their course of
plain sailing.
'There is no necessity for Mr.. Blaine to
resign from the Cabinet" said Mr.. MILL
ken, "and go off on hippodron,ing tour
through the country to boom himself. Let
him keep on saving wood and the Republi-
cans will do the rest. All Mr.. Blaine's
friends ask is that ne will write no
more Florence letters that will interfere
with their plans. We don't want him to
decline the nomination in advance. In the
last few weeks 1 have been to the Pacific
coast by one route and back by another. I
passed through 20 States and territories. 1
talked with Republicans in all sections OF
the country and 1 found that Blaine was
first in their thoughts and their hearts. He
is more popular now than he ever was.
Despite stories to the contrary Mr.. Blaine's
health is good and no man in the country
has brighter prospects"

THE FIRE RECORD.

A FIRE occurred early yesterday morning in
the Chapman building, Court and Hanover
streets, Boston. 1t is i've story brick struc-
ture. and is principally occupied by Bailey and
Rankin, jobbers aud retailers or carpets. The
loss the building is estimated at about S., ,0OO
and TO the several tenants about $4,000. While
the fire was at its height the roof fell without
warning to the men who were pouring streams
upon it from underneath. Beams and burn
ing timbers imprisoned nearly 20 iremen.
Chief Engineer Webber was among those
who were caught, and although bruised and
burned, he did not relinquish his command.
Through a hole made III the roof District
Chief Reagan was one bf the first to emerge
and his injuries, although painful. are not
serious. Captain Willet of Engine 26. who fol-
lowed him, was injured about the back and
shoulders. Captain Griffin, of Hook and Lad
der No. s, had been pinned down by heavy tim
bers which had to be sawed apart before he
could be released. District Engineer Creswell
was one of the last ones taken out, and 1t took
nearly an hour to reach him. He is badly hurt,
District Chief H. w. Pope. of Charlestoun
had his hand badly cug by glass and was
severely hurt in the back. Assistant Engine
man, John Long was seriously injured by being
struck in the abdomen by piece ofslose which
blew off its coupling.

civil engineer he will have unusual sdyan-
tages for this sort of work.
The expedition is not connected with the
Government in any way, and none OF those
who 70 with it will 90 for hire, or even
glory Experience has shown that there is
no salary big enough to inluce man to do
what is necessary to be done in the Arctic
regions if be hasn't the pure scientific en-
thusiasm. Four or five young Philadel-
phians, whose ideas about exploration are
like those OF Lieutenant Peary, and whose
ardor is almost as great as his, have volun-
teered to 60 with him for the love of it. The
expectation is that they will do much more
effective work and have much better chances
of getting out alive than If they were paid
to 60.
Quite Confident of Success.
AS to the chances, Lieutenant Peary is
convinced they are all in his favor. His
experience in the frigid zone makes him
believe that man who knows how to take
care of himself is as safe there as anywhere
safer, in fact, than in a crowded city or on
the Western plains in winter, for instance.
The chance of disease is less, the chance of
an accident is less. In fact. the Lieutenant,
who is modest young man, doesn't think
he is undertaking anything wonderful, and

his trip.
As to his outfit he will probably have the
best that ever was taken into the ice regions.
When he was in Greeland in 1886 he made
a special study of what was necessary to en-
able man TO live there safely, and even In
comfort, and he thinks he has found out
what tis. He will take scientific instru
ments or course, and will collect some speci-
mems that will be interesting TO zoologiss as
we'll as facts OF value to other scientists.
Starvation will have no menace for his party
They will take along enough condensed food
to last them their entire trip. Then before
they start over the ice they will prepare
enough game to meet every possible exigency
and leave it along their route.
The precautions about these things will
be so ample that there will be no chance of
any Of the horrors that belell the Greely
party. Then these men will be under no Or
ders but their own, so they can 60 where
they want to and when they want to, and
there will be no waitingfor reliefs or any OF
those fatal instructions that have caused so
many deaths up there. Since the publica-
tion of his projected trip Lieutenant Peary
has got letters from scientists and scientific
societies abroad asking about the details of
his plan and expressing great interest in his
objects,
