PRESIDENTIAL GOOSE.

According to Senator Blackburn C1eye-
lands Aquatic Fowl Is Cooked.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 24.-The Times
publishes letter from Senator Black
burn to Col. John G. Noble, of Paduch,
KY, in which the senator says:
Sin the light of the publication of Mr..
Cleveland's recent letter antagonizing
his party upon the silver question, do
not believe there is a Democratic mem
Der of the senate who would favor his
nomination for the presidency, or who
believes that it would be possible to
elect him in 1892 if nominated. No
organization is effected or attempted
in Washington hostile to him, but there
is now but one opinion as to his lack of
availability. | have no personal objec-
ton to Mr.. Cleveland in the world, but
I do not believe that any man can be
elected president in 1892 who is opposed
to free silver coinage. The people have
been trifed with long enough upon this
subject.
"The truth is that for twenty-five
years past New York has never furnished
a Democratic leader who has not been
in thorough accord with Wall street and
at variance with the masses of the peo-
pie. This was as true of Mr.. Tilden in
former years as it is to-day of Mr..
Cleveland. have longed to see the day
when the Democrats might elect pres
ident Of this country without paying the
tribute that New York has always levied.
I think that the time is at hand. I have
no favorite candidate, but only insist
that he shall be fair and honest repre-
sentative of Democratic sentiment.

SIX CREMATED.
A Disastrous Fire in a Brooklyn Tene-
ment House.

A Disastrous Fire in Brooklyn Tene-
ment House.
NEW YORK, Feb. ga disastrous
fire in the cellar of Brooklyn tenement
house resulted in the death of six per-
sons. The building was occupied by
thirty-two families, who are left desti-
tute by the destruction of their homes.
The fire started about 7 p. m. from some
unknown cause in the cellar of No. 1879.
When the flames were discovered they
had reached the dumb waiter shaft in the
middle of No. 1877 and rose to the roof.
Before an entrance could be made to
the building the fire had cut off all es-
cape to the ground by means of the
staircase. The whole front of the build
ing was covered with fire escapes, and
most of the tenants came out on them
and were taken down by the firemen,
but six of them from some cause failed
to get out.
Might Have Been Rescued.
New YORK, Feb. 23.-Marshal Lewis,
in his report to the fire commissioners of
the fire in Nos. 1879 and 131 Sands street
Brooklyn, gives it as his opinion that the
fire was of incendiary origin. From an
examination of the ruins the marshal
found the doorway was saturated with
coal oil. He declares that the fire es-
capes were ample, and the six persons
who lost their lives could have been res
cued had they not tried to get out by
way of the roof.

Six Deaths in Brooklyn Tenement
Fire-Wisconsin Children
Cremated.

SPRING HILL MINES, N. S., Feb. 49,
A terrible disaster occurred at the Spring
Hill coal mines Saturday night. 1t was
not at first thought that many were
killed, but as investigation proceeds the
horror grows in magnitude. The work
of recovering the bodies of the dead has
been carried on steadily ever since the
explosion and the total number of
Deaths Is Now Placed at III.
The searchers say that all the bodies,
except those buried under fallen roofs
and slate have been recovered. Two of
those injured have died. In several
families the affection is very great. Reid
Carter and his two sons are among the
dead. The Carmichael family lose three
sons. Jessie Armishaw went down No.
slope and found his three sons and a
brother piled together in a heap in
one corner of the mine. The
sight so unnerved him that he had
to return to the surface without
his boys. Two sons of Robert McVey,
both under IA years of age, occupied one
coffin. These sorrowful households are
only a few of the large numbers
from which bread-winners have been
snatched The deepest gloom has settled
over the whole community and the in
habitants were astir all night. A special
train has arrived from Westville and
other mining centers in Hicton county
with relatives of the dead. Some of the
bodies have been frightfully mutilated
and had to be identified by the clothing
or marks on their bodies. The mines
outbuildings have been converted into
morgues and hospitals, where the dead
and injured are taken.
Clergymen of different denominations
are doing what they can for the grief
stricken people. The injured are pro-
crossing most favorably and are being
tenderly cared for.
Can't Account for 1t.
The scene of the explosion was in the
immediate vicinity of Nos. and Z
slopes. The greatest number of deaths
occurred there. This part of the mine
was visited by Deputy Inspector of
Mines Madden Friday morning. Mr.
Madden makes the following statement
of his examination at that time:
II entered No. slope at Gas a. M,
passed through the tunnel into west
seam, tested the air and found it carry
ing per cent Of fire damp. Then I
came down and went into west sink,
thence to the face of west level going
west, tested the air, but could not get
any reading worth noting. I came out
of the tunnel and went to the face of
east side level, thence crossed to the
west side of No. slope, went up to the
top of balances where pillars are drawn,
tested the air and found it clear of fire
damp. Then went to the west level;
then up No. balance to the head of No.
g.; got 2-5 per cent of fire damp; thence
to the head of No. 7 balance and per
cent of fire damp. The balance of the
mine was in equally good condition, and
so made my report. l cannot account
for the explosion.

Evansville Victims Recovered.

HAzELToN, Pa, Feb. 23.-The bodies
of Larry Reed, Harry Hall, Mike Smith
and John Bullock were recovered from
the Evansville mine Sunday. They were
found in what is known as Balls Breast.
This is situated about seven feet above
the water line, and the men had suffered
the terrible pangs of hunger and thirst
for ten or twelve days before they sue
cumbed. The bodies were fearfully mu-
tilated by rats. The bodies of the other
victimes, eight in number, will probably
be recovered soon.
