Caught In an Elevator.

T. O'Brien, a porter at the White House.
Kearny and Post streets, had narrow es.
cape from death last evening. He started
up from the basement on the sidewalk ele-
vator to fasten the trap-doors for the night,
For some reason the elevator failed to stop
at the usual place, and O'Brien was forced
against the under side of the doors, which
were closed but not fastened. To this fact
O'Brien owes his life: otherwise he would
have been fattened out like o wafer. He
was badly bruised about the breast and
legs, but not seriously. After being treate1
at the Receiving Hospital he was able to 20

INTERNATIONAL BI-METALISM.
american Financiers Negotiating in Eng
land to Attain That End.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 26-The feeling
In favor OF international bi-metalism seems
TO be growing, and to Likely prevail in Eu-
ropean cabinets if the leading European
powers can be convinced that the United
states does not intend to plunge into free
coinage. Several gentlemen privately
agreed early IN the summer TO make some
inquiries OF foreign tinanciers with view
70 international agreement, and to report
the results 10 the president and secretary
OF the treasury without expense to
the government. They discovered so
friendly feeling to the use of silver in
Europe that they recently asked and OBJ
tanned credentials from our government
showing who they are and what their in
structlons are without having authority to
commit the United States officially to any
programme. The fact that these creden-
tlals have been asked for is regarded by
the president as very encouraging indi-
cation of feeling in England, France and
Germany IN regard TO the reconciliation
OF silver. The gentlemen who have been
making inquiries would not have asked
Tor such credentials if they had not felt
that the time was approaching for serious
negotiations with European powers, for
they have no personal or financial interest

GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 26.-Prairie fires
have been raging all night southwest of
here. and many thousand dollars worth
OF hay, grain, farming implements, etc,
were burned. 1t is also believed that a
number of houses have been destroyed
From Chandler comes a report that
the whole population had to fight for
twenty-four hours to save the town. From
the high ground in this city FIRE can be
seen in every direction. The loss in>hay
and grain must be immense. The ire
has gotten in the timber and will burn
for weeks. 1t is feared number of peo-
pie have persisted there. Cimarron City,
a small town northwest of here,
has been entirely wiped out. The people
escaped by jumping into the river. NJ. B.
Emery, stage driver to Chandler. and Per-
kins, mail carrier, were caught in the
fire and both terribly burned.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 26.-As the result
of a boiler explosion in the heart of the
city this afternoon one man was killed
and several persons painfully injured, and
nearly half a million dollars worth of
property destroyed. The boiler was
in the electric plant of the Louis
vile Gas Company. The shock
was like an earthquake. Fireman Adams,
who was in the boiler room, was fatally
injured. A mass of iron and hot Goals
was thrown across the alley into the rear
of Kaufman & Strauss large dry goods
store. Half a dozen clerks who were in
the rear of the store were painfully in
jured, and in a moment the whole
building was in flames. The fire de-
partment was quickly at work, and by the
most strenuous efforts succeeded in saving
the Courier-JournaL building, Immediately
north, and the Polytechnic library, on the
south, although the library building was
considerably damaged. Z. Scott & Sons,
pictures, mirrors. etc., Porter's millinery
store and Levorne's confectionery store
were badly damaged.
LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 26.-Pine Grove, a
village on the Newport News & Mississippi
Valley road, nine miles from here, was
swept away by fire this morning, only
one building being left stand

grain elevator in the basement of which
some negroes were boiling hemp. A high
wind spread the flames to the adjoining
buildings, which were all destroyed. 1t is
impossible at present to estimate the total
loss

THE TOLT ARSON CASE.
Charge Against the Saloon-Keeper Is
Dismissed.


John s. Parry, the Tolt saloon-keeper who was
arrested last week upon a charge of arson, was
dismissed last evening after a hearing before
Justice Won Tobel. He was accused of setting
FIRE to the Good Templars hall at Tolt the night
OF September 8, and he was also suspected of
setting FIRE to his saloon and store. which were
burned to the ground last spring. His name has
been confounded with that of John +. Perry,
justice OF the peace OF Tolt precinct
The state utterly failed to fasten the crime of
arson on the defendant at the hearing. 1t is
said that he is unpopular in the community
where ne resides, but beyond the fact that he is
the keeper OF a saloon, nothing derogatory to
his character was brought out AT the examina-
ton. Some OF the witnesses for the prosecution
gave their testimony in a hating, hesitating
manner, and in several instances the attorney
for the defendant succeeded in tangling them
up and caused them to make damaging contra
dlctOns.
The prosecuting attorney endeayored to prove
that few days before the hall was destroyed by
fire several men were in Parry saloon, and in
talking about the order of Good Templars, Parry
said:
III burn down their hall the first chance
get"
The authorship of the assertion could not be
fastened on the defendant however.
The state then tried to show that several days
following the fire Parry admitted having applied
the torch TO the hall building, but this evidence
was destroyed by several witnesses summoned
by the defense, and it was proven that the mat
ter came about this way:
1t was rumored that Parry had set fire 10 the
hall. He went out into hop field where were
several of his friends. and they commenced, in
a testing manner, to accuse him OF arson, and
then he jokingly replied:
eyes, / had pretty tough time of it. The
wood was wet, ana l had to carry some straw
from barn mile and a half away ! finally
succeeded in making the thing burn, though"
The case for the state was seriously damaged
by the complaining witness, an individual
named Jack Balsha, who posed as a very moral
man and member in good standing of the
Good Templars. He was compelled to admit
that he took some whisky in Parrys saloon the
Parry, asked him:
''Are you q Good Templar?"
AZ am"
"Were you not drinking September A."
az don't know"
Don't you know you were'''
Il can't recollect"
Ibid you not take two drinks of whisky in
ParTys saloon with George Mausfeld?"
"Oh, well, they were small drinks" admitted
the witness.
The justice concluded that the state had no
case and dismissed the defendant, and attached
the costs 10 the complainant
The PEOPLE OF Tolt are determined that Parry
snal. not run his saloon there if they can help
il and have complained TO the county com
missiouers that he is running a disorderly
place.
