DoS,r LIKE THE GRANGE.

Yokohama, Japan, Paper Objects to
the Man Said to be Appointed to Sue
coed William Il. Herbert.
Special Correspondence Gazette and journal
NEW CASTLE, Jan. 26.-A letter has
been received here with the following
clipping from Yokohama, Japan,
paper:
"fhe Gaelic brings us the rumor that
Sonchin Maloney, who visited Japan
some two years ago, has received the
appointment as United States marshal
for Yokohama, in place of William b.
Herbert, whose commission has expired.
Judging from our knowledge of the
gentleman and the universal opinion of
all that met him during his visit here,
we feel that we can safely say that we
don't think he is suited for the climate,
and his peculiar manners will not be at
all agreeable to the American residents.
Personally, we think the United States
government has made a big mistake in
sending Maloney to Japan, for If they
have no suitable national Americ an at
home, if they will cable to us we will
find one here. We don't like the APP
pointment worth cent and don't hest
tate to say So"
Mr.. Herbert was appointed by ex-
President Cleveland, at the suggestion
of ex-Secretary of State Bayard, and
has held the office six years. He is
from this city.
There has been no announcement yet
from Washington of the appointment of
Mr.. Herberts successor.-ED. &. E.

the slLYER QUESTION.
Mint Director Leech Before the House
Committee--He Favors an international

Mint Director Leech Hefor . the House
Committee--He Fayors an international
Agreement.
Associated Press Dispatch by Sneclsi Wires
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The first
hearing of this Congress on the silver
question took place this morning before
the House committee on coinage,
weights and measures, Mr.. Leech, the
director of the mint, being examined.
The inquiries of the free coinage men
related chiefly to whether or not the fall
in the prices of silver and the worlds
commodities had not been practically
contemporaneous, considering the ques-
ton for series of years and unaffected
by any special crop condition; also, as
to whether or not the present policy
under which even the silver notes were
redeemed in gold if desired, did not
have the effect of enhancing the value
of gold and keeping the two metals
apart.
Mr.. Leech was of the opiuion that the
supply and demand for silver alone
regulated its price.
Mr.. Williams (Mass.), an anti-free
coinagesmember, directed his Inquiries
with the view Of showing that under
free coinage other nations would send
their silver here and that single i'm
portant nation could seriously impair
our standing by draining gold from the
United States and destroying confidence
in the ability of the country to make
good its promise to redeem in gold. Mr.
Leech favored an international agree
ment as the best mode of solution of the
question.

The many friends of Mrs. Cynthia F.
Sampson will hear with much regret
her death late Monday night, after a
brief illness, having lain for week
paralyzed and mostly unconscious. She
was the widow of Ezra N. Sampson
who came to Wilmington late In the
forties, one of the pioneers of the
morocco trade here. Mr.. Sampson died
soon afterward, leaving large family
OF children to whose care and rearing
Mrs. Sampson devoted life Astounding
in unfagging energy and devotion. Not
only these but very wide circle of her
friends will miss her many ministrations,
such services rendered and kindnesses
bestowed as probably few women have
equalled. Her funeral took place this
afternoon from her son-in-law's, Thomas
Mayne, on Kennett pike, near Greenville,
with lnterment at Rlyerview.

TEN SURELY DROWNED.
Fears That Eight Others Have Also
Been Lost at Sea.

Tugs and Sccws in New York Bay Driven
Out to Sea by the Violent Gale Yester-
day-Nothing Yet Heard OF the Missing
Bcats and Crews.
AaHocin tod Pres. Disoatcn nv speciar Wires.
New York, Jan. 2s.-Ten of the IS
missing employees of the street cleaning
department who Were blown out to sea
on scows, yesterday morning, have, it is
thought, by the officers Of that depart
ment, been drowned. The remaining
eight have not been seen alive in nearly
80 hours. 1t is said that they too, unless
they have been picked up, must GER
tainly also have been drowned or frozen
TO death.
The tugboat Webster and dumping
scows Nos. 3, 5, f6 and IL Of the Barney
Dumping Company, were swept out to
sea during the terrible gale of Yesterday
On these boats were 10 men, employed
in towing and working the dumping
scows in which the street cleaning de-
partment carries the city refuse to the
open sea for dumping. Ten Of the men
were on the tugboat aud two were on
each of the scows.
Since 8 o'clock, yesterday morning,
these boats, with their crews, have been
driving out to see before the high north
west wind, which was blowing all day
yesterday at the rate Of over 60 miles
an hour. Several steamboats, and tugs
have beeu dispatched to search for them.
Up to noon to-day none of them had
been able to catch sight of them.
The relief boats have been several
times forced by stress of weather to put
back to this city. The chances in favor
of the rescue Of the storm-driven boats
grow smaller with every hour that goes
by. The relatives and friends of the IL
missing men have well nigh given up
hope of seeing them alive again.
FIFTY MEN ON ANCHORED scows.
Mr.. Brennan of the scow department
said that there were 10 ilat-bottom scows
anchored in Gravesend bay and that so
men were on board. The tug of the
company could not reach them on
account Of the severity of the gale. The
men had been there since yesterday
morning.

soHooL BUILDING ON FIRE.
An Early Morning Blaze Which May
BE tho Work of Burglars.

A fire which bears every evidence of
incendiary origin was discovered about
the stairway of No. is school, Third and
Harrison streets, at 100 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. The flames were discovered
by person who happened to pass the
building at the time. He notified Officer
White and the latter Immediately struck
fire alarm box No. 5, at Fifth and
Adams streets. The fire companies re-
sponded promptly.
By the time the firemen had gotten
their apparatus into operation the
flames were leaping up the stairway
from the basement of the structure and
threatening the entire building with de-
struotion. The front door of the build
ing opening out onto Harrison street
was broken open and a line of hose run
in through the door. The great heat of
the flames almost drove tho firemen
from the building. The water was
finally turned upon the burning stair
way, however, and the firemen battled
desperately with the flames until all
were subdued.
The flames seem to have started i'm
medlately about the stairway leading
from the basement of the school and
burst completely through the second
flight of stairs leading to the second
story. The smoke issued forth through
the upper story and the walls and door
ways were black with smoke. Some of
the doors and woodwork in the upper
story were also scorched by the intense
heat from the raging conhagration.
1t is difficult to estimate the damage
done the building, but it is not thought
it will amount to much over $500. The
building is insured with L. A. Van
Trump as agent, and with j. M. Mathcr
d Company. The insurance agents
visited the school this morning with a
view to adjusting the loss. President
Baird of the Board of Education and
Contractor Christy were also on hand.
The work of repairing will begin at
once and the damage all replaced by
the end of the week if possible. School
will be closed during the repairs.
The fire could not have started from a
heater as already stated, as the latter
was fully Is feet distant from the place
where the flames originated. 1t is
thought some one must have entered
the building by one of the windows on
the first floor. The shutters, it is said,
are never closed in the evening. The
most plausible theory Of the fire is to
the effect that the school was fired by
burglars who set the building on fire to
draw people from their houses in order
to commit burglary. AS no one could
have any other object in burning a
school building except for the purpose
Of robbery the theory that burglars fired
the building is generally accepted as the
correct one.
Mrs. Russell who lives at No. 1906
West Third street, right across from the
building says that she noticed light
shining out through the transom of the
school about 1890 o'clock last night and
shortly afterward saw two strange men
standing on the corner of Third and
Harrison streets looking toward the
building. They did not remain long
there. 1t is thought these persons may
have been the incendiaries.

A BLAZING WRECK.
Freight Cars Wrecked and Burned
on the B. g. o. In Cecil County.

Tho Train, Composed of 40 Cars, Parted
and the Detached Portion Collided with
the Main Train--The Wreck Caught Fire
and the Track was Blocked for Hours.
About $50 o'clock yesterday morning q
south-bound freight train on the Balti-
more q Ohio railroad, consisting of AS
cars, in charge of conductor and two
brakemen, broke in two parts while
descending grade known as Principle
Hill, at jackson station, Cecil county,
just this side of the Susquehanna. The
rear portion of the train came into col
lision with the forward portion with
such force as to completely wreck nine
or ten cars and derail others. Among
the cars wrecked were three oil tank
cars, each containing some so 900 gallons
of oil.
These three cars Immediately took
fire and exploded, scattering the burning
oil IN every direction and setting fire to
three cars laden with sugar, which were
entirely consumed by O'clock.
Wreck trains were at once dispatched
from Baltimore and Wilmington, but
when they reached the scene of the acct
dent the intense heat from the burning
wreckage and oil prevented the force of
men making any attempts to clear the
tracks. The accident occurred in small
cut, and notwithstanding this, it is re-
ported that the flames from the immense
quantity OF burning oil could be seen In
the surrounding country for miles,
Luckily there were none of the train
men injured, they having jumped from
their posts when they saw the accident
was inevitable. At6 o'clock it was said
that nearly the entire train would be
consumed. The track is badly damaged
and the rails twisted and bent in all CON
ceivable shapes from the effect of the fire.
There being no way of extinguishing
the fire, the force of men at the wreck
had to wait until it burned out. At ii
o'clock it was reported in this city that
the wreck had been cleared away suf-
ficiently to allow of the passage of trains.

c.rushed 10 Death.

James Milburn, colored, was found
crushed to death at the flint mills of
Mansel Tweed, about one and half
miles from Newark, Del, at an early hour
on Friday. 1t is supposed that he got
caught in the machinery some time dur
ing the night which resulted in his death.
No one was aware of the accident until
the mutilated corpse was found in the
mills. A telephone message from Will
sons hotel, Newark, to House Sergeant
Whann at the police station announced
the finding the body. Coroner Sparks
was notified and Deputy Coroner Giles
went to the scene of the accident Friday
morning to hold an inquest.

THRILLING SCENES AT A FIRE.
Entire Block, Including an Opera
House Burned Tuesday.

The Most Disastrous Fire Ever Known in
Columbus, ohio--Many Women Make
Marvellous Escapes From One of the
burned Buildings.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 26.-The most
disastrous fire that Columbus has ever
experienced occurred this morning in
the large block of buildings at the north
west corner of Rich and High streets.
A small blaze started abont TAO in the
large building at the corner, and before
noon the entire block from Rich street
to Walnut and from High to Wall had
been Quilted by flames.
The large brick building on the corner
of Rich was the first to CO. The next
building to go was the Metropolitan
Opera House Building, the fire catching
in the fourth story and working down
ward rapidly in spite of the efforts of
the firemen to save it. The fire first
started in the portion of the building
occupied by III. @. Goodman's leather
store, and in a short time the entire
building, including the Opera House
proper, was in ruins.
There were number of thrilling and
hair breadth escapes, and with the large
force Of women employed about the
building it is marvellous that the death
roll does not mount higher. The shoe
factory of Goodman employed about
204 persons; 1879 of these were girls, so
msn and IL boys. The spectacle of
girls going down the fire ladders and
escapes with aprons over their heads
was one of the thrilling episodes that
caused the hearts of men to stand still
1t is reported that Katie Trott jumped
through the window on the first floor
and broke both her legs.
DISAPPEARED IN FIRE AND SMOKE.
Another woman appeared at the
fourth story window, started to descend
by the fire escape, but being confused
and blinded by the smoke, returned in
side, to be seen no more.
MIGHTY CHEER eREETs BRAVE
RESCUE.
Very soon after the fire began to pour
out from the fourth floor of the Opera
House block, the great crowd of spec
tators were Mortified by the sight Of a
woman with a babe in her arms step
ping out of fourth-story window into
the fire escape.
She gesticulated wildly for moment,
then turned and disappeared within,
evidently giving up in despair of saving
herself in SO dangerous manner.
Two officers rushed up the stairway
through the binding smoke and flames,
and in few minutes were seen again
with the woman and child. When the
immense crowd saw that they were
saved mighty cheer went up from
those who had held their breath.
LOSS OVER 100000.
The total loss will be over 100000,
with insurance about two-thirds this
sum.

FIRE AT JACKSON & sHARP,s.
1t Made Big Smoke, But Did Little
Harm.

Harm.
Fire broke out at 1880 p. M, Tuesday
in the shaving building OF the Jackson
& Sharp Company's car works, which
made a big smoke but was gotten under
control in about an hour. Bnt little dam
age was done. The loss may reach $500;
insured.
The building is merely brick shell,
into which the shavings from the wood
shops are carried by conduits. The
occupation of the railway tracks by
hose to the engines playing on the fire,
delayed trains about 10 minutes.
BY 2 O'Clock the fire was extinguished.
The fire is supposed to have started
from the furnace under the boiler in
the lower part of the building.
