Yes. / guess the grip is about the only

A moving train creates a circulation ana

POINTER ON NEW YORK.

The election in Ogdensburg last week
closed the local spring elections in New
York, and there will be no further tests
of political strength in the Empire
State until the November struggle. AS
a result of these town elections the
Democrats have gained control OF the
boards of supervisors in five counties,
lost control in five, and four, which
were Republican last year, are tled TINS
year, and TWO which were Democratic
last year are tied this year. The net
results of the elections can be most
readily presented by the following Ia
BILE, from the Albany Argus, of the total
number of wards or townships in the
State, excluding New York and Kings
counties, carried respectively by the
Democrats and Republicans, for the
Loot +hraa vaarc &c follows

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-05-22

The difference In totals IS due 10 uI-
vision and consolidation of towns and
wards. The Democrats have lost TWEEN
ty-towns carried in 1890, when the par
tv in November carried the State by
%. 600; but they have gained sixty-twc
towns over 1889, when in November
they carried the State by only 10000.
If the town elections have the signiti-
canoe often ascribed to them, the Dem
ocratic majority in New York State
should exceed 10000.

Shrieks of Agony.

Cries of horror arose on all sides. The
two stores also collapsed and then the
flames sprang from the hotel ruins and
shrieks of agony could be heard as if
from the depths of a furnace.
Several heroic efforts to save life were
made by the police and firemen. One of
the latter, in attempting to rescue o
child whose cries could be heard in the
ruins of the Crown, fell into the flames
and was so severely burned that his life is
despaired Of. 1t was only with difficulty
that he was rescued by his comrades.
The number Of dead is not positively
known, but it is judged that the major
ity of the bodies will be found in the
ruins of the hotel. All that remains to
be done is to overhaul the ruins and pick
out the dead.
Many terrible scenes of distress have
been witnessed about the ruins upon the
part of those who have relatives among
the missing and who fear that they have
met death in the ruins. One poor woman
with five children clinging to her skirts
and babe at her breast is the center of
sympathy and interest in the crowd.
She is supposed to be the wife Of the as
sistant cook If the Crown.
Five bodies have already been recov-
cred. They are burned or crushed
almost beyond recognition. The police
estimate the number of dead at thirty
two.
The cause of the explosion still seems
to be mystery.

CYRUS FIELDS ILLNESS.
Fears That the Great Finanoier Is on
His Death Bed.

G1lh O6dLh Aoehs
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Mr. Cyrus w.
Field is believed to be on his death bed.
His eldest son, Edward M. Field, Is in
an asylum, his daughter, Mrs. John
Lindley, wife of member of his sons
firm, is dying of cancer, and every hour
new developments make the failure of
F ield, Lindley, Wiechers s. Co., one of
the worst known in years. Its extent
cannot even be guessed now, but there
are those who hint at sensations yet to
come that will appall the community,
and make those responsible for the fail
ure stand criminal trial.
The general impression seems to be
that Mr.. Field is rapidly approaching
dissolution. All that willing hands and
loving hearts can do for him is being
done, but the weight of his years and
his Affections have completely Frustrated
him. The death of his wife a few days
ago was terrible blow, and when he
returned from the funeral tofind his son
financial and mental wreck the shock
proved too much for him.
Charles w. Gould, assignee for the
bankrupt firm, said that the report was
not true that Edward NJ. Field, the in
sane member of the firm, was In Bloom
ingdale asylum, but he was probably in
some private asylum, as he (Mr. Could
understood on Saturday that it had been
determined to place Mr.. Field in a
private asylum that day.

would not have undertaken their march
to Pekin. European nations are to
blame in this matter 1t would be far
better for Europe to have strong CEN
trail government in China, instead of
each country struggling to see how
much it can weaken and humiliate the
Chinese to its own advantage. A strong
central Chinese government, when it
existed, kept this vast population of
400,000,000 together. Let them be
turned loose, from Manchuria to Toukin,
and the prospects are fearful, even for
armed Europe, to contemplate"
A message from Pekin says that troops
have been summoned from the outlying
districts to man the capital, and large
body of laborers have been driven to
work in repairing the walls, consider
able portions of which are dilapidated.
Great excitements reigns in Pekin and
the authorities have some fear of pop
ular rising. The closest watch is main
tanned for signs of intended disturbance.
MAJ iching On to Pekin.
The rebel forces are divided into two
sections, but as yet the general public
here does not know whether or not both
columns are marching in the direction
of Pekin. In fact, owing to the meagre
teleBTtpnlC IdclilllcS WlllCn tHe country
affords, it is hard to get accurate infor-
nation regarding the movements Of the
rebels.
1t is announced however, that besides
the towns in Manchooria that have al
ready fallen into their hands, small
town northeast of Kin Chow has been
captured by them. The garrison OF
Shankaikvan has been sent to suppress
other insurrectionary bodies which are
marching in various directions through
the country, evidently with the inten.
tion Of joining the main body.

MET INSTANT DEATH
Mysterious and Fatal Explosion in
an English Town.
OVER THIRTY PEOPLE KILLED

Guests of Hotel Buried in the
Death-Three Buildings Blows to
Atoms-Some Miraculous Escapes.
Heroic Attempts at Rescue.
LONDON, Dec. IA most mysterious
explosion occurred at Blackburn, city
of 100000 population, thirty miles from
Manchester, and three buildings were
blown to atoms. The streets in the
vicinity Of the explosion were full of
people, when suddenly, and without a
moments warming, the earth shook,
there was tremendous report, and the
air was filed with flying bricks, timbers,
broken glass and all manner Of debris,
The houses which were destroyed
were in the Blackburn market, naturally
one of the most frequented parts of the
town, and the scene which followed was
indescribable. The people were wild
with fear and ran in terror from the
market place. Many of those who ran
away had been struck by the flying
debris, and with blood pouring from
their wounds they added to the terror of
the people.
Buried Under the Walls.
The Crown hotel and two stores on
Victoria street collapsed Immediately
after the explosion. From the ruins Of
the hotel the most heartrending cries
issued. The entire building tumbled in
upon those unlucky enough to be in the
building. There were, according to re-
port, at least twenty people buried in the
ruins of the hotel while over dozen
are said to have met death in the ruins
of the two stores.
There were number of miraculous
escapes from death. When the build
ings fell, after the explosion, a number
of people were passing. Among them
was n woman with child in her arms.
A mass of bricks fell on the woman,
killing her instantly, but the child es-
capped without injury. A boy belonging
TO "a grocery store was or his way into
the Crown hotel with basket of groceries
when a companion jokingly stopped him
and ran away with box of mustard
from the basket. This caused the gro
Gerry boy to run after the lad who was
teasing him, Just as he did so there
was heavy, dull, explosive sound, ap-
parently from the cellar of the hotel,
and in another moment the building
WAS heap of smoking ruins.
