List of the Dead.
One Hundred Dead at oil City.

OIL ClTY, Pa., June 6.-Flood and fire laid waste large sections of this city and fearful loss of life has resulted. The widest stories of its magnitude are afloat. Fifty persons have been burned or drowned and the number may exceed 100. A territory of at least forty acres along Oil creek is burned or flooded or both. In addition to those dead large number are injured and prob ably thousand people are homeless. The
 fire started in this city at II 40 a. m. Sun day with an explosion of naphtha and oil on the surface of Oil creek. The people of the city were apprised of the Ttusville calamity and the whole town was out watching the rising of the waters.
 Thousands of people were gazing upon ~On creek when the fire started. A thick coating of oil, presumably from bursted tanks in the region of Titusville, covered the surface of the creek. Floating along were three tanks of naphtha The sun was shining hot, and caused a vapor of oil fumes to rise from the wide surface of the creek Several thousand people seemed to simul- taneously recognize their peril, and just as they began to move the calamity came. It is believed that a spark from an engine.
 Eyewitnesses say sheets of flames and vol umes of smoke shot upward to a height of 100 feet in the vicinity of bridge crossing Oil creek. In two minutes the fire had spread up aud down the stream for over two miles. In less than ten minutes be- tween 200 and 30o buildings were in flames. The thousands of witnesses were thrown into state of the widest panic. Men, women and children ran through the streets screaming and beseeching each other to be conducted to place of safety.
 Burned to Death in the Streets. Clouds of smoke obscured everything. When the darkness was most dense, three | frightful explosions in succession shook the very earth. Thes ewere the floating naphtha tanks in the creek. 1t was then evident that the whole of the Third ward and large number of buildings on both sides of the creek farther up, were doomed. Lower down where the buildings were above the waters surface, the fire was swept directly in among them. Many of the persons who | lost their lives were overtaken in the streets as they fled for safety. An almost perpen- dicular wall of stone hemmed the victims in on one side, the river on the other, the de-
 vouring flalues at their rear. Others were burned in their houses and many were drowned. One rescuing party with large skiffload of persons, taken from flooded houses was overtaken by the blazing oil and all perished.

Low Statured westerners.

"I must acknowledge that am great ly disappointed in the size of western men," remarked Arthur De Witt, of Philadelphia. II was never west of the Alleghanies before, but I have always been under the. impression that western men were larger in stature and more TO- bust and vigorous in general appearance than we of the effete east, as you people out this way call our section of the country. I am therefore surprised to find that my impression is an erroneous one, or else your big men are not seen in hotels and on the streets.
 Il should judge that the average height of the men I have seen in St. Louis does not exceed feet 6 inches. Their abdominal development is ample, and maybe this accounts for the sawed off appearance of so many of your men. don't know how to account for the lit tie squatty men of the west. Maybe it has been my misfortune to see only the pygmies of your giant race have heard and read so much about. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Digest of the Proceedings in the Sem
 ate and House.
 WASHINGTON, June 1.-ME Sherman's great speech on silver was delivered in a most effective manner without notes, and was listened to by an attentive senate and by well filled galleries. Many of the Dem ocratic senators gathered around the speaker. Mir Mills toCi; q chair in the aisle, the better to listen, observing which, Mr. Sherman, who was beg 9ia''''lg to touch upon the benefits which |. A on had jointly with honest money cG4,e. svd on the coun- try, suddenly stopped and lau~hin@ly re- marked that as he saw the senator from Texas (Mr. Mills preparing to follow him he would leave the merirs of protection to be discussed in some more appropriate bill
 WASHINGTON, June 2.-Mr Sherman, de- clining to yield to further interruptions, closed his speech on the silver bill in the senate, and unanimous agreement was arrived at not to take vote on the ques- tion before June l4.
 WASHINGTON, June 3.-The exodus of Re publican senators to Minneapolis had the effect of making the senate chamber a very quiet place. MT. Stewart delivered the concluding portion of his free coinage speech.
 Ao was pllocO, hO oehluf "hCh 4u1s Sherman expressed his admiration of the Bland-Allison act. He was surprised at the remarks of the senator from Ohio, because of the views expressed by him in his annual reports when secretary of the treasury. Then he had made the same ominous pre- dictlon that he was now making. The sil- yer men did not propose new standard; they asked to return to an ancientstandard. It was only the enactment of a law similar to that repealed in 1873 that was asked for. All they asked was to restore the silver of their fathers.
 A resolution providing for an investiga- tion of recent national bank failures was adopted
 WASHINGTON, June 7-Seven important measures were passed under suspension of the rules in the house by the Democrats, who worked as a unit. The Republican forces were largely depleted, and they were totally unable to stem the tide of legislation that had set in. The Democrats rallied to the support of every measure but one-that exempting state banks from taxation, which failed to pass. Among the measures passed were: The antioption bill, the resolution placing the river and harbor and naval ap- propriation bills in conference; the resolu- : tion for the purchase of site and the cree tion of pedestal for a statue to General Sherman bills admitting New Mexico and Arizona as states after Jan. 1, 1893, and finally the legislative executive and judi cial appropriation bill.

 MINNEAPOLIS, June 7.-Since the arrival O. Governor Mckinley dark horse talk has suddenly assumed great proportions and the name of Mckinley is on every tongue. It is said there is plan on foot to nominate Mckinley if the issue should not be settled on the first ballot. Tine Indiana people asked Governor Mckinley what he would do about the matter. The governor assured them that if they wished he would rise in the convention and ask the delegates from Ohio not to vote for him. Notwithstanding this assurance talk about Mckinley is heard everywhere.

 The adherents of ex Secretary Blaine are claiming that his nomination is assured on the first ballot. On the other hand John c. New, the chief generalissimo of the admin istration forces, insists that 500 votes are al- ready pledged for the presidents renomina. tion, more than forty more than is neces- sary to a choice. The friends of General Alger claim for their favorite a support of three score, or sufficient, assuming that the friends of the president and MT. Blaine are but triae in error regarding their respec- tive strength to give the Michigan candi- date the balance of power. It is known that one or two votes will be cast for Mir. sherman, and there may be few votes scattered among the other dark horses.
 Senator Hiscock says, "Mr. Harrison will have 600 votes and is sure of the nomina- tion."
 Senator Quay says, There will be 575 votes for Mir. Blaine on the first ballot, not counting any from Michigan"

the mutterings of the storm and his light ming rod IS in position.
 Word has gone out among his friends that If Harrison is not nominated on the first ballot he would like to have the Illinois votes thrown to him on the second. Out of this probably arose the story, since denied by Cullom, that he had letter in his pocket from the president authorizing the with drawal of his name on the second ballot. The Allison and Rusk booms gathered strength, and even the Alger boom has been galvanized into something like activity.
 Ex-Governor Foraker is greeted with cries of ''Our next vice president" in response to which he smiles and shakes his head. Last night Foraker made a brief address in which he said that if Harrison was the nominee the young men Republicans of Ohio would give him their hearty support, for they had never yet sulked or carried razor.

 Preliminary Injunction.
 TRENTON, June 1.-The state of New Jer. sey has at last moved upon the Reading coal combination. Attorney General Stockton applied to the chancellor for an injunction to restrain the Central railroad, the Phila- delphia and Reading and the Port Reading Railroad company from consolidating. Chan cellor McGin granted a temporary injunc- tion and the fight is now on in earnest The attorney general asserts that the New Jer- sey Central railroad has no power to lease itself to the Port Reading Railroad company or to become dealer in coal. There is no authority in the law for the leasing, but statutes forbidding it.

 During the second battle of Cold Har- bor, while shot and shell were falling like torrents from the mountain cloud, :" my attention was directed to the fact that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentrated fire of the Union forces.
 When reached the battery every gun but one had been dismantled, and by it stood solitary Confederate soldier, with the blood streaming from his side. AS he recognized me he elevated his voice above the roar of the battle and said:
