RAUM ON HIS REMOVAL.

He Attributes It to the Malice of
Assistant Secretary Bussey.
W WASHINGTON, May 16-Green B. Raum,
Jr, returned to Washington to-day, and
gave out before returning to Philadelphia a
statement denying the charges against him
and attributing his removal to the malice of
Assistant Secretary Bussey of the int erior
department, because he would not make
places in the pension office for Bussey's mate
"a female. He says if he had followed all
the recommendations which Bussey show
cred upon him the pension Office would
now contain no one but Bussey's favorites.
As it was he disregarded most of Bussey's
recommendations, and Bussey revenged
himself by turning him out of Office in dis
grace. Young Raum furnishes affidayits to
the effect that he had nothing to do with
the man Smith, who bought his place, except
g recommend once that Smith be dropped.
Young Raum makes similar explanation
about his connection with the $72 which his
father made up for him. When asked why
Secretary Noble described him as be did in
his interview he had nothing to say.
The President was approached to-day
about the case Of Commissioner Raum, and
remarked that until Secretary Noble and
Commissioner Raum returned he would not
say what he would do. He added, however,
that he was very sorry for Commissioner
haum's misfortune, especially the disgrace
Of bis son.
Although the charges against Raum, Jr., e,
involve offenses said to be indictable, it is
stated that out OF consideration for his
family he is not to be prosecuted. Already
numerous applicants for his place in the
pension office have appeared. Ii paws

A HURRIcANE OF FIRE.
TWENTY-FIVE Blocks Swept by Flames
at Musk egon.

at Muskegcn.
MUsxEGoS. MICH, May 16.-This city
suffered second visit from the flames this
afternoon. The FIRE started at $50
o'clock in the Langagell hotel, just
off Pine street, from some unknown
cause, and, aided by a strong
wind, with lehtninR-like rapidity swept
ten blocks up Pine street, one of the choice
business streets of the city. Then by a sud-
den shift in the wind the flames were driven
toward Terrace avenue, one of the finest
residence streets in the city, where
they swept unchecked and are now
burning with unahated fury near Evergreen
cemetery, in the southern edge of the city
Twenty-Five blocks are devastated as il
swept by hurricane of fire. Pine street
business houses for ten blocks ara entirely
wiped out. The 100000 court house was
gntted, nut :ta public documents were
saved.
PRISONERS LIBERATED.
The prisoners in the county jail, which
occupied the basement of the court house.
were liberated. The loss cannot be accu-
rately stated, but will probably reach $500,
600. By 8 o'clock the fire had reached
the southern district Of the city,
where there is more space between
the houses, and the, firemen succeeded in

there was great danger from flying fire.
brands, and the flremen were obliged to
continually shift their positions. Two
Grand Rapids engines were put to work as
soon as they arrived.
$50 HOUSES BURNED.
The total number OF dwellings burned
may safely be put at $50. a conser vative
estimate Of the total loss Is $500, 600 The
total insurance is unobtainable. MANY of
the burned places have no insur-
ance. Hundreds of families are
thrust upon their friends for
accommodation. The night scene reminds
one of the Last Days Of Pompeii." Fine
dwellings but recently completed are gone.
Frequent reports from exploding boilers
are heard. Dynamite is used in some in
stances to clear buildings.

A MURDERER CAPTURED.
Alex Farmer. the murderer of r. D.
Drake, 15-year-old boy, was arrested to-
day In Lawrenceville by the sheriff.
Farmer was tracked by bloodhounds. and
he sought refuge IN Lawrenceville, where
his suspicious movements excited some
alarm, which eliminated IN his arrest. He
submitted quietly and was heavily guarded,
and will be taken 70 JeffersonvIlle, where
he will be lodged In jail. The excitement is
high. and sensational developments are exc
pected momentarily. Drake was moth
ing but boy, and this fact combined with
his great popularity may lead to the lynching
of Farmer. Both of Farmers brothers
were arrested for aiding Ia his escape, and
were released on q $50 bond. The entire
community Is in state Of great excitement,
and it is feared that the authorities will
never lodge Farmer behind the bars Of the
jefferson Jail alive.

The Woman Who Went to Lay It on
Persuaded Not to Do So.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., May 15.-Early this
morning there was a cowhiding sensation
in Meeting street. Lou Williams, very
fine looking woman Of fast disposition,
started out to cowhide another woman
named Irene Wadsworth. 1t seems that
Miss Wadsworth, who came to this city
with the Grsu Opera Company,
had alienated the affections of
Miss Williams lover. Miss Williams
had spoken to the charming chorus girl
about the interference, but received no
satisfaction whatever. Miss Williams lover
had not honored her with visit during the
past week. This incensed her very much,
and, regarding Miss Wadsworth as the
provocation of the slight, she went out with
a good cowhide, but was dissusded from
applying it. Manager Grau dismissed Miss
Wadsworth during the week. He says he
cannot pretend to be responsible for the
actions Of the thirty or forty women in his
chorus The company is here for two
months stand.

Philip Baker, indicted for the murder of
Mrs Nelson, at her home in Carrollton, on
the night of March z, commenced
yesterday in Section B, Judge Joshua
A. Baker presiding. The jury this
evening rendered a verdict Of guilty as
charged. The impression is that Bakers
execution will not be long delayed. His
crime was the most atrocious in the criminal
history Of the district. de was a clerk in
Nelson's grocery store. Nelson and his
young wife soon to become a mother, lived
upstairs. When Nelson was about to close
his store Baker hit him on the head with an
improvised slungshot, knocking him sense
less. Mrs. Nelson, hearing the struggle,
came TO her husbands assistance, when
BAKER drew razor aud cut her throat. He
was captured the following day, and has
besn in prison since, awaiting trial.

The Fed eration's Supreme Council De
cidss Against Them.

cloeS against 4nem.
CHICAGO, May 16-The supreme council
OF the Federated Railway Employees decided
against the Chicago aud Northwestern
switchmen this evening. The council rec
commended that the switchmen's officers
call upon the railway officials with view
TO the reinstatement Of as many
OF their old hands as places could
be provided for. The proceedings
OF the council were prolonged and stormy.
When the body was called TO order 10 the
Grand Pacific hotel the following were
present: Switchmen Frank Sweeney, J.. M.
DOwney and Miles W. Barrell; Fireman
Eugene Debs; Conductors @. w. Howard,
]. w. Martin aud ID. J. Carr; Trainmen S.
y. Wilkinson, w. A. Shsehan and p. w.
Morrison.
LONG SESSION
At the close of the session, which lasted
nearly eleven hours. Mr.. Sargent said the
representatives OF the switchmen and their
opponents, the trainmen, had each been
given q hearing, and the course of the
former in demanding the discharge of
fardmsster McNsrny was declared un-
juStifiabls. From others it was learned that
all Of the out-of-town switchmen could be
probably reinstated on application, and the
same was true Of many of the Chicago
nightto be somewhat embittered toward
the firemen, neither Messrs. Sargent nor
Debs having voted on any question before
the council, ostensibly because the order Of
fremen had no quorum present, but really,
it is asserted, from desire not to be put on
record. The question OF sustaining the ac-
tion OF the railroad was settled by vote of
6 to favoring the company.
DON'T WANT TO BE CROWDED.
A resolution introduced by the switchmen
was adopted by the same vote, requiring
that trainmens officers request the company
to remove trainmen who have been given
switchmen's places and that the switchmen
be reinstated. The trainmen, however,
voted against the resolution aud the secre-
tary of tho supreme council, who
Is one of the trainmen, refused
to sign ID, and Mr. Wilkinson, chief
Of the trainmeu, refused point blank TO act
upon it. The outcome of the action of the
council. therefore. is far from settled.
Yardmaster Brooks, whose name has fig
ured in interviews brought out by the strike,
and who is a member of the trainmen's
brotherhood, was discharged from the
Northwestern railroads service to-day with
the sanction Of the trainmen. This action
was sustained by the council, afRording
about the only crumb Of comfort given to
the switchmsn.
