MARTINS FERRY.

At four o'clock yesterday morning q
fire broke out in the Klevis building on
Second street, near the City Building,
which is occupied by Frank Hissrich
and VIM. Linn. The building is two
story double frame. The fire
started on the north side OF the
building, and was first discovered by
Mr.. Linn's daughters, who sleep up
stairs. They awoke after being almost
sufrocated and rushed down stairs and
informed their father, who made
a hasty investigation and found
that the fire had gained great
headway. He soon alarmed the people in
the neighborhood, and John Madden
and Doc Armstrong, who reside in the
adjoining house, soon came to the res
cue and fought the fire bravely until
the fire department turned out. IL re-
sponded quickly to the alarm that was
sent in from Box 81, at Kerr's planning
mill corner. Mr.. Linn lost nearly
everything he had but an organ, and
Hissrich's household goods were almost
all destroyed. The building was in
sured in the German, of Wheeling,
through Lupton's Old Insurance Agency,
and the loss will probably reach 500,
which is fully covered. The origin OF
the fire is supposed to be from a defec-
tive flue, though some thought it might
be incendiary.

CARDINAL LEpooHowsKI
To Succeed to the Position Held by Cardi-
nal Simeoni.

LONDON, January 2s.-The London
Times to-day publishes long dispatch
from its Paris correspondent relative TO
the appointment by the Pope Of Cardi-
nal Ledoehowski to succeed the late
Cardinal Simeoni as Project of the con-
gregation of the propaganda.
Cardinal Ledochowski was for time
friendly toward the German govern
ment. He was an intimate friend of the
late Empress Augustus of Germany.
Subsequently events occurred which
led him to change his attitude toward
the government, and he became one OF
it's most bitter adversaries. He incur
red the hostilities Of Prince Bismarck,
and the result was that he was SEN
fenced to several years imprisonment.
He was after time allowed TO escape
and has since resided in Rome.
His appointment is destined to end
the difficulty with Germany by linking
him to the Vatican and by sinking his
Polish nationality. The Pope, also, in
ignoring the Italian candidates for the
position, wishes to make a step in the
direction OF inter-natonaliZing the Vat
lean dignities. The correspondence
concludes by saying that the appoint
ment OF Cardinal Ledochowski will be a
warning to Italy.

A supposahle Case,

We have forgotten how the Chilean
Minister conducted himself during the
late disagreement between the North
ern and Southern States. II, holding a
diplomatic position, he had coun-
tenanced and abetted Jefferson Davis
and his associates, we fear some Of our
more turbulent citizens might have
made it unpleasant for any Gillian sail
orS in the streets Of New York. IL, in
addition, the Gillian representative at
Washington had not been Chilean at
all, but a political refugee from
another country, dynamiter and an
upholder Of an organized murder So
ciety, we should hardly have blamed
our fellow citizens for assuming bel
ligerent attitude toward Chile and the
Chileans. II he had been political adj
venturer seeking TO feather his own nest
and a professional blatherskite with an
itch for making trouble, we should have
been pleased to see him conducted TO
the borders of our own country with an
armed escort. And we should have had
q very poor opinion, indeed, OF the
Chilean government which could send
such g representative to this country.

FOUR RESCUED
From the Drifting Tugs and Dumping
scows OF the New York Street Cleaning
naUarfroaaf

From the Drifting Tugs and Dumping
scows or the New York Street Cleaning
Departments.
New YORK, January 2s.-Four OF the
eighteen men who drifted out to sea on
the tug Edwin Webster and four Of the
Barney Company dumping boats during
the terrible gale Of Tuesday night have
been rescued. They are the men in
boats Nos. and 16, which drifted away
from the anchorage in Rockaway Shoals
after the tug Nichols put In there with
them and started to the rescue OF the
disabled Webster and her drifting tow.
Boats Nos. and 16 were picked up
by the big ocean-golng tug Edgar +.
Luckenbach, about fifty miles off Fire
Island. After bringing those two in the
Luekenbach Immediately started back
in search Of the other derelicts.
It is the general opinion among the
tug-boat men on South street that the
Webster was foundered and that her
crew of ten men are lost, although all
admit that there is a bare possibility
that the Webster's men have been
picked up. II is deemed certain, how
ever, that the tug itself has gone to the
bottom.
According to the Captain of the Web
ster, there were on board of her: George
Clark, Captain; Thomas Wall, Engineer;
- Lasher, Pilot; four fremen, two
deck hands and a steward, whose names
cannot be ascertained.
On board her two dumping boats were
Charles krump, Captain of No. 5; Fla
vols Canal, mate of No. 5; ALI Dahl.
Captain of No. II; VIM. Larrettson, mate
Of No. Il.
The capture of the drifting boats 3
and II was a difficult and dangerous
task and the rescued men and the crew
Of the Luckenback have thrilling tales
to tell of their experience.
