After working for nearly twenty
minutes Edward L. Mulligan, driver
of hook and ladder company No. 5,
raised little girl in his arms. That she
was alive and conscious after being buried
under the mass of brick seven feet deep
was almost miracle. The little girls face
and arms Were bleeding from cuts and
burns. but she was able to talk As soon
as Mulligan raised her up she lifted her
eyes to a window on the upper floor OF the
building across the street and called in
piteOuS tones:

Ihe mother upon seeing her child. he
came so frantic with Joy that had it not
been for the combined efforts of four men
standing near by she would have jumped
from the window. When the little girl was
rescued the crowd yelled and clapped their
hands in JOY. 1t was touching sight, and
one that would not soon be forgotten by
LnOSe VINO saw II.
The little girl was carefully placed in an
ambulance and taken 10 the Chambers
street hospital. The little thing told the
men as they were placing her in the ambu-
lance that her brother and sister Were both
dead under the bricks. II seems she was
playing in front of the building at the time
of the explosion. 1t was found at the hos
pital that she was badly bruised.
Another body fearfUlly burned was taken
from the house at PAS p. IN.
In a few minutes the body of a boy and
girl were found. They were the children
of Eugene +. Heaghey, who lived at No -
Park Place.
At 3 o'clock the force of firemcn and
police was increased and work on the ruins
progressed more rapidly. 1t is now impos-

EOMUNOS' SUCCESSOR.
Much Speculation as to Who VIII be the
Man to Take the Place.

Special to the Gazette.
MONTPELIER, VT. Aug. 22.-The presi-
dent will be at Montpelier on August 90
and it is generally understood that on that
day Governor Page will announce the APP
pointment of Senator Edmunds' successor.
There is no doubt this Will be Proctor The
question then arises as to Secretary Proc
tors successor in the cabinet. News comes
from one close in the conf
dence Of the president that MS
successor will be Vermonter.
1t is stated that the Office has already been
rendered to Hon. Wheelock G. Veasey of
Rutland, member of the interstate COM
MERGE commission and former commander
in-chief OF the Grand Army of the Republic.
VeaSey has not been inclined TO accept on
account of the uncertain tenure Of Office
which accompanies an unexpired term.
An effort is being made to induce him to
withdraw this decision. and it is expected
he will accept. AT any rate it is regarded
as certain that q Nermonter will take Proc
tors place in the cabinet, and if not Veasev
it IS likely to be Proctor's strongest op-
pOneut in the contest for the senatorship,
and this Sits the question down to ex-
Governor Smith ana Governor Page, with
chances in favor of Page. Veasey can have
the place if he wants it-that is considered
certain.

THE RAIN MAKERS.
A Claim from Midland that They Should

Doing tine County . Wrong.
MIDLAND. MIDLAND COUNTY. TEX.

Editor Gazette.
Such stuff as the special which appeared
in TIE GAZETTE of the 2Oth instant con
corning the rain-mailin% experiment, being
false and misleading and of Il nature cal"u-
lated to do great damage to this country,
deserves an exposure more detailed than Is
my province III this article to indulge. The
party was supposed TO come here, make a
governmental test, and let the world Judge
the results Instead, they have 50 far done
nothing o: any Importance, and yet the
country is flooded with specials sent out by
one of the principal parties of the eXpedi-
ton. making statements that are absolutely
false, claiming wonderful success, when III
truth the theory Is as INFESTED to-day as
when the party first arrived.
Why should this outfit send ont state
ments that Dyrenforth brings the irst rain
for years. etc, when in truth the country is
il fine condition. and only small sections
of the country have suffered Stock is IN
fine shape. but such reports convey the idea
that the country IS III awful shape. ON
Sunday, the 10th of August, they fired Il
few joints Of giant powder, making no more
conclusion or report than two or three
anyils. The rain which came on the follow
inc Monday was from the east. u different
direction from where the ''ranmakcrS" arc
stationed. No more rain came till last
Tuesday and Wednesday. These were also

reached nearer the Morris ranch than six
miles. They have done nothing yet, and
why do they send out such reports The
people of this country are tired and dis
gusted with such stuff. Let them make
their experiment and give the world the
facts is AL we ask, but i'll justice to the peO-
pie who are interested in this experiment.
and the people who are being damaged by
such reports as put this country before the
world rs u desoiate ruin from drouth, lep
the tru Il be told. Any leading stocklnan,
business man or other citizen Of this county
Is given as reference is 10 these facts They
have sent up 4 few balloons, but there has
been no rain on the Norris ranch, where
the rainmakers are, since the 18th, the re
port in THE GAZETTE of the 10Th uothwith-
standing.
The condition Of Midland county is fine,
and the Dyreuforth outfit do j wrong to
claim the credit of saving us from ruin.

THAT WITHDRAWAL.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AS
TO WHY THE STEAMERS
of the Morgan Line are Withdrawn from
GaIVeston-Mr. Reagan Tail>s-The
Southern Pacific Road
Special to the Gazette.

AUSTIN, Ten. Aug. 22.-There is some
diversity of opinion here as to the real
cause of the Withdrawal of NIorgan's
steamers from Galveston. Those who do
not favor i railway commission pretend TO
think that the withdrawal is the result of
unfriendly railroad legislation.
Judge Reagan said this evening. in reply
to an inquiry, that he considered it nothing
more than 4 concentration of HuntingiOn's
business at New Orleans, where his roads
concentrated. He thought Huntington
knew the commission too well, or
some of them al least. TO believe
he could intinidate that body. While
the commission has no control
over interstate rates, very considerable
reduction of them would be made by re-
auction of local rates by the commission.
Nothing that the commission has done or
proposed TO do warrants any bcligerant
action on the part of any of the railways.
and can hardly account for the change of
these by Morgan.
