POLICE COJRT.

Thomas Malley Found Not Guilty OF the
Charges Brought by Agent COlley.
The witnesses for the defense in the
Malley liquor trial were heard this
morning. Simon Brown, the bartender.
testified that he did not sell liquor to
O'Donnell on Christmas day, neither
was the latter in the place. He said
that about four weeks ago, O'Donnell,
Dillane and Fitzgerald did enter the
place, but he put them out without
giving them any drink. Joseph Phelan
corroGorated Browns evidence and
further strengthened it by saying that
when the men wert put out ODOnnell
swore he would get square. James
Flynn, who one of the witnesses for
the prosecution, swore was present
in the saloon on Christmas day, testified
that he was not there on that day.
Attorney Colley fought hard against a
forlorn hope of conviction. Attorney
Root made strong argument for his
client. Chief Egan was called in to
show up the record of Dillane and
O'Donnell and Il wonderful criminal
record it was. A Joking remark was made
that they were guilty of every crime but
murder. Judge Cowell promptly found
the accused not guilty of selling to
minors on Christmas day. On the
second charge he said the decision rested
on the truthfuluess of the witnesses.
The record of the boys was strong
factor in the case. Individually he
thought that the boys did purchase the
beer hut judicially he would give the
accused the benefit of the doubt and so
discharged him.
John Mack, who halls from Bristol,

Coasters Island on Newport will be So

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Under au
thority of a section of the Naval Appropri
alton bill, the Bureau of Navigation OF
the Naval Department has begun the
preparation of plans for the establishment
of the naval war college.
The preparations are being advanced
rapidly and within few months the col.
lege will be in operation. The Appropri-
alton bill provided for the construction of
the new buildings and the Navy Depart
ment intends to erect suitable lecture
room and to purchase all the necessary
apparatus.
Coasters Island off Newport will be
the site of the college, and this selection
is considered particularly advantageous
because the nearness of the sea will allow
practical demonstrations to be made of
naval warfare theories.

Stray Leaves From n Reporters Note
Book.
In the last monthly report Of the state
board of health DIR Lindsey says, in dis
cussing the question "What Is a Pub
lie Funeral?' 'that the phraseology is
unfortunate and open to criticism, be-
cause the expression public funeral is
a misuse of words, and therefore the
words being wrongly employed carry
with them a wrong meaning. 1t would
be better if the law was expressed thus !:
There will be no funeral; or, there shall
be no public burial of any person dead
from smallpox, etc. The obvious OBJ
ject in making such a regulation is. to
reduce to the minimum, the risk of
spreading infection. The best means of
doing this are by disinfection and isola-
ton. If isolation of the patient was
necessary before death, the isolation of
the body is no less so after death. If it
was important to prohibit visitors to the
sick person and even to the house in
which he was sick, lest the infection
might be carried from the infected
things therein, it is not the less impor-
tant to exclude visitors from the infect
ed house after death, and until the
processes of publication be completed.
1t Ieed not be understood, however,
to prohibit a clergyman from holding
any brief religious service, if it would
be consolation TO the friends, in the
infected house, in the presence only of
those who have already been exposed
by living in the house, provided no
others are admitted, and provided
always that the clergyman himself take
all necessary precautions against spread
ing the contagion.
Actor Henry Aveling's last wish, ex-
pressed in a letter just before he COM
mitted suicide at the Sturtevant house,
that his wife be not permitted to look at
his body, will be disregarded. His wife,
whose stage name is Miss Mittens Will
lett, has not only taken a look at the
remains but will also bury them. She
said yesterday: 1.-THE funeral will take
place from my house, 229 East Four
teenth street, at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning. l consider it my duty to bury
my husband, despite his wishes to the
contrary. I loved him dearly, and if
there was any resentment it is and was
not on my part. separated from him
on account of his unfortunate habits"

An Explosion in New York Causes the
Death OF Fully Fifty People--,-No
Time to Escape.
Two Buildings Totally Demolished.
The Ruins Burning Fiercely----The
Work of Rescue

New York, Aug. 22.-One of the
worst disasters which ever happened in
this city occurred just after noon today.
From what can now be learned fully if
not more than fifty peaple lost their
lives. The accident came SO suddenly
that not a single person in the two big
buildings at Nos. 20 and 70, Park Place,
in the building at No. 81 Park Place,
who was directly across the street when
the accident occurred said he was stand
ing on the steps at No. 81 Park Place at
noon when he heard the sound of an
explosion from across the street, and
building collapsed. and the entire build
ing caved in with deafening crash. 1t
came SO suddenly that it was impossible
for living being to escape from the
building. On the ground floor of one of
the numbers was restaurant crowded
with people. The ruins are burning
fiercely and all efforts are being directed
toward getting the flames under control
in order that the work of rescue and
recovering the bodies of the dead may be
begun. Three children of Frank Hag-
gerty, the janitor, were playing in the
front when the explosion occurred.
They were killed. The latest reports
say the explosion was caused by steam
| which blew up the receiving boiler in
the basement belonging to the steam
/ heating company. Roundsmen, tailor
was passing along Park Place when he
heard the explosion. He ran to the
| hardware store and secured dozen axes
and distributed them to the fremen
who had already arrived on the scene
The firemen and bystanders soon cut 6
hole in the side wall of No. 20, out O.
which seventeen persons crawled, all O
whom bore bruises. the police estimate
the loss of life to be between forty anc
| seventy.

wreokers capture a vessel.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 21.-Word has
been received here that as soon as the
revenue cutter McLane left the wrecked
steamer Eldorado, ashore off Bimini,
the Bahama wreckers, who claimed a
right to the salvage of the ship. made an
attack on her and as they largely out
numbered the Americans, they had no
difficulty in securing possession of her.
Word of the action of the wreckers was
at once telegraphed to the secretary of
the treasury, and telegraphic orders
were quickly received for the McLane
to proceed again to the scene of the
wreck, and protect American interests.
She left at once

AGAIN 1T IS REPORTED.
That Harrison is Not Looking for a
Nornf1lation.


BosTes, Aug. 2l.-A special to the
Herald from New York says; 1t is
almost Impossible that, after all that has
been said on the subject, President Har-
rison is not looking for second term.
A representative administration repub-
lican made this startling statement to-
day: Not only is President Harrison
not looking for the nomination, but
when the time comes he will come out
for Mr.. Blaine. The programme is for
Secretary Blaine to tender his resigna-
ton, and at the same time offer himself
as a candidate for the presidency. Pres
ident Harrison will refuse to accept the
resignation of his secretary of state, and
will assure MIR. Blaine of his active and
earnest support and everything will be
plain sailing. With no presidential
aspirart in sight, except Mr.. Blaine,
the lesser lights would be bidding for
honor of second place. This agreement
WAS brought about but a short time ago,
for up to last Sunday the president still
had the second-term bug ia his bonnet.
This determination of the president to
forego his attempt to securetre-election
is said to have been reached at the con-
ference with Stephen B. Elkins and
Postmaster-Gener Wannamaker, at
his Cape May cattage Sunday last.

THE CAMPAIGN FORMALLY OPENED
Major Mckinley Makes Speech De-
nouncing the Democrats.

nouncing the Democrats.
NILES, o., Aug. 22.-The campaign
was formerly opened in Ohio today, on
the part of the republican party; the
principal speaker was Maiof Mckinley,
candidate for governor, who in his
speech said: ''The democratic platform
declares for the free and unlimited coin
age of the silver of the world. The re-
publican platform stands in opposition
to anything short of full and complete
dollar. The free coinage demanded by
the democratic platform means that all
the silver of the world can be brought
to the mints of the United States and
coined at the expense of the government.
That the United States mint must receive
4121s grains of silver, worth eighty
cents, the world over. II does not take
dollar will become in. time the exclusive
circulating medium of the country.
Gold will be taken from circulation of
the country and boarded, and the effect
will be that the circulating medium will
be reduced to the extent of the gold now
circulating, and we will be compelled to
do the business of the country with sill
yer dollars exclusively. Any interna-
tional agreement of the nations which
are on silver basis alone are the poor
est nations of the world and are in con-
stant financial disturbance and meme
| terry disorder.
This he said had been pointed out by
ex-President Cleveland and Governor
Campbell, even had declared he had
doubts about the wisdom of free coinage.
No class of people would suffer SO much
from eighty-cent dollars as the wage
Garner and agriculturalist. l am in
favor of double standard but not OF Tree
and unlimited coinrge, until the nations
of the world join US in guaranteeing free
silver as status which their laws now
accord to gold. Speaking of the tariff
the major said the reuenue tariff, such
as the democratic party advocates, was
we'll conceived to benefit every other ma
ton but this. He said the failure ofreve-
nue. tariff to supply the wants of the gov
ernment would result in direct taxation
The speaker declared under protective
tariff the public debt was reovced nearly
two thirds and the state debts also have
been reduced. Reciprocity, Major Nc
Kinley said, is a provision which in nc
way encroaches upon the protective
principle, nor can in any way destroy OF
undermine protective tariff. The major
said there was much criticism about the
duty on tinpla:e and fully as much mis-
representation as criticism.

CANADIAN WHEAT.
The Yield This Year VIII be Larger
Than Ever Before.

Than Ever Before.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 2I.-More wheat
will be exported from Canada this year
than ever before. The yield in Ontario
will be 80, 0,500,O0O bushels, or nearly 10,-
600 more than last year. The Northwest
and Manitoba will yield, it is estimated,
about So, ,000,0 900 bushels. Deducting for
seed and consumption 0,000,0 900 bushels,
this will leave 80 900, 900 bushels for ex-
port. OF this amount, Manitoba expects
to export '25, 100000 bushels OF -hard
wheat, the finest Canada produces. Last
year the total export of wheat from Can
ada was little over 25,000,000 bushels.
The crop of wheat in Canada this year
exceeds ANYTHING in the history of the
country. The average yield of fall wheat
per acre this year will be 24.4 bushels,
or five bushels above the average in the
year past. In Western Ontario some
yields produced as high as 50 bushels an
acre and 1884 and 90 pounds to the
bushel.

THE CRUEL WAVES.
Another Victim at North Beach---Todd
Bingham of Portland, Carried out
by the Tide.
A Little Girl Named Curtiss Drowned
Near Hood Riyer---The Campaign
Opened in Ohio.

ASTORIA, Aug. 22.-The cruel waves
of the Pacific closed over the form of
another pleasure e-seeker at North Beach
yesterday, and all that is mortal of Todd
Bingham is somewhere in the depths of
the ocean, near the perpendicular cliffs,
and between North Head and the
crooks" below the Willows. In COM
pany with Joseph Knott Mr.. Bingham
left his home, near Sea View, early yes
terday morning for the purpose of fish
ing for bass and porgies on the rocks
which jut out into the ocean below the
Willows. The rocks are a favorite re-
sort for fishermen at the bach, and the
men station themselves at various points
along the beach for distance of nearly
half milh. The point selected by
Messrs Knott and Bingham was the
cluster of rocks farthest to the south,
where they climed up to what they sup
posed was Il safe place before the tide
began coming in very strong. They
met with good success in fishing and
when the incoming tide warned them
| that they must retrace their steps at
once, or wait until after high water,
they decided to remain on the rock until
the tide turned. This decision cost
Bingham his life. When their only ave-
nue. of escape was shut off, the waves
began splashing higher aad higher upon
the narrow perch on which they were
seated. The surf yesterday and the day
before was unusually heavy. 1t kept
splashing over them until about 12:30,
when an unusually high wave swept
both of them from the rock and into a
seething current which eddies around
the cliff in this vicinity. Both of the
men were encum bered with guns, boots
and heavy clothing, bnt Knott managed
to free himself of his boots and struck
out for the shore to the northwest.
He turned for moment to see if he
could be of assistance to Bingham, but
the unfortunate man sung out, Save
yourself, Joe, don't mind me can keep
afoat here for forty eight hours" These
were the last words he spoke, and as Mr.
Knott stru Egled In the terrific waves he
caught glimpse of his friend drifting
down towards a dangerous place, known
as Dead Mans hole, and from which es--
cape is well nigh impossible, owing to.
the perpendicular cliffs that rise up
from the water. Knott in the mean
time was In a fearful position. The tide,
which was still flooding, had tendency
to keep him close in against the rocks,
where he was in momentary danger of
being dashed against them, and disabled
or killed. Being an expert swimmer,
: with splendid endurance, he managed to
keep far enough out, and at the same
time work up the coast to, point where
he could reach the beach. After strug-
Cling against death itself for over half an
hour, he finally was thrown on the rocks
at a point where he was able to get out
in an exhausted condition, and as soon
as possible gave the alarm.
