Special Dispatch 10 he 1ataligenea.
WAsHISeroN, D. O., June 9.-The
Blaine people here are panicky over
the newJ of the rumored withdrawal
from the presidential contest Of the ex-
secretary. There are two views taken
Of this step. Some people are ASSUME
ing that Secretary Blaine has been play
ing a waiting and silent game for sew
eral weeks past, prepared to accept the
nomination if secured to him, or to
Withdraw at the last moment before
the first ballot was taken, thus saving
him from an unpleasant defeat at the
hands Of, the Presidents managers.
Otherfpeople alleged, with great posi-
tiyeness, that II ex-Secretary Blaine's
name is not presented to the conven-
ton it will be due entirely to tho treach-
ery OF many Of those who have been
booming him, and not to any action on
the part OF Mr.. Blaine himself.

MINNEAfoLis. MINI, June 9.-The
Harrison men at the Indiana head
quarters gere wild with enthusiasm
this afternoon. They say their faith in
the Harrison boom has developed into
positive knowledge. The following
message was sent whizzing over the
wires to tho White House expressive OF
the feeling which permeated the Har-
rison contingent:

MORE BODIES nEcoYEREp.

Shortly after IL o'clock a telegram
was received from David McCargo say
ing that FIVE bodies had been found at
Kennerdell. They were in bad state,
and he wished to know what DISPOSE
ton should be made OF them. He was
instructed to send them to Oil City on
the noon train. These, together with
the body found at Natrona last evening,
increases the list OF dead to forty-nine.
The latter body. from the description,
is supposed to be that of W. D. r. Ter
williger. Those found at Kennerdell
have not been identified, and probably
will not be until they arrive at Oil City.

TrrusvIIIE, Pa, June 9.-The fire and
flood at Titusville may prove blessing
to the inhabitants in the end, though
in their present state Of feeling they do
not view the calamity in that light. The
loss OF life is Of course deeply deplored,
but those who are left and are thinking
OF the future welfare Of the city say that
this visitation, even with is attendant
sacrifice Of human beings, may provo
beneficial, Gft3
The devastated district lies all along
the low lands by the creek. Boiler
shops, refneries, planning mills, lumber
mingled, and the existence Of this state
OF affairs has always been constant
menace. The buildings were for the
most part frames, and they were con-
tinuaIly endangered by passing locomo-
tives on the D., A. v. & P. railroad.
Fire in any one OF these buildings
threatened entire destruction to the
town, so that the people here have been
living in fear and trembling for many
years.
Since the total sweeping out Of these
dangerous works, a number of the lead
ing citizens have been giving the matter
considerable thought, and they have
decided thatif the refineries are rebuilt
they must be placed at the extreme lin
Its Of the town and not in the heart OF
it, as was tho case. They will strenu-
ously oppose any move looking TO the
erection Of these works in any place
where their lives aud property are
endangered.

And with these words he died. Those
who know say he saved the lives of
twenty people.
The whole Oil creek valley is filled
with heroes, como living and some mar
tyrs, and there are unnumbered stories
OF heroism and brave men and women.
The reason there are so many more
thrilling stories OF this catastrophe than
at Johnstown is accounted for by the
fact that there are more survivors OF
the Oil creek calamity.

ACCUSED OF SINISTER MOTIVES.

ACCUSED OF SINISTER MOTlVBa.
These people insist that the motives
Of some OF Mr.. Blaine's so.called friends
have been all along sinister, and the
enthusiasm manifested at the mention
Of his name was not spontaneous, but
generated for the purpose of defeating
President Harrison's denomination.
Among the people. who hold this view
are Senator Hale, who has been for
some days past close friend OF Mr..
Blaine's. Senator Halo said to your
correspondent this evening that in his
opinion many OF the Blaine boomers
we're friendly to the ex.secretary, but
Tint others, while protesting friendship,
were in reality merely using him as a
tool. .,If Mr.. Blaine's name is with
drawn" said Senator Hale, "it will DO
done by those whose entire
purpose has been to defeat Mr.:
Harrison for denomination. !
don't think that Mr.. Blaine will
withdraw voluntarily, nor do l
take much stock in the statement that
he has written letter to that end, or
that he is preparing one. Who these
false friends are can be readily conJec-
tured. It is not necessary to particu..
larlze. They think they have secured
Mr. Harrison's defeat, and having used
Mr. blaine as club with which to do
II theyafe now turning their attention
tn a third man. These are the men
who now express doubts as to whether
Mr. Blaine's name will or will not be
presented to the convention. It is just
possible they may succeed in this move.
Should they BIO successful they need
exnsck no fayors at the hands of Mr..
BIaine,s real friends, who have been
sincere in their support OF him. / nave
always commended that either MI. Blaine
or Mr.. Harrison should be nominated
and still think so" :.
Mr.. Hale furthermore said that 1t
was quite possible that the delay in the
convention was being engineered by the
third party men.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 9.-The
New York labor delegation of the
Workingmen's Reform League and as
ISOLATED trades of New York city met at
the Windsor hotel this morning and
determined to circulate 10000 copies OF
tie resolutions adopted by the ascot
ated trades of New York, composed Of
eleven unions with 5000 membership.
on Tuesday evening, May 81, at S64
North avenue, New York city. In their
resolutions they believe that the record
OF President Harrison for the last
three years has shown that he
is the most eligible candidate
for workingmen and farmers suf-
irages OF Nil mankind, and demand his
denomination, and add "his inception
OF the bi-metallic conference will do
much to smooth the dissensionG which
now exist IN financial matters between
citizens OF the different sections OF the
country and will ultimately settle the
question that no is believer in The
protect n Of the workingmen from the
pauper contract labor Of Europe and
Asia. And his patriotism is shown by
his firfnness in the Chilean, Italian and
Bering Sea affairs. We pledge the
workingmen and farmers vote Of the
United States to him as the candidate
OF the Republican PARTY.
Res0lU'd. That a committee OF six be
appointed,by the chair to present this
resolution to tho Republican national
convention at Minneapolis on June7.

READY To Id.

One man died happy and coutented.
This was D, P. steck, who died Tues
day. He was seyenty.three years old,
and left grown family and wife. When
the food came he warned all his neigh:
bors and made them seek places OF
safety. he took his own family in a
boat and saved them. Then youRg
man and he started back for further
rescues. A family OF five children and
mother was found. The load was too
much for the boat, SO Mr.. steck told
them to 90 on and he would wait for
the next trip. He waited, but the
flames came before the boat returned.
He was burned SO badly that he died
later. He was perfectly conscious, and
while discussing his death, which he
knew was coming soon, said:
II have no regrets. Ihave lived my
more than three score and ten and can
90 to my Maker knowing have died
for my fellow man. You know it is

People of OIL City Ats.til to Return-Gas
In the Bottoms.
On CITy, PA, June CAT the, olapp
Farm, couple of miles above Oil City,
the people are still terror-stricken and
are in a state Of intense nervous strain.
Their places are ruined, houses and
stock washed away, and from this sec
ton six persons are missing. When the
flood came the survivors fed to the hills.
and there many Of them are to-day.
They cannot be induced TO come down
to their former homes, and are living in
the woods. Reliaf has been sent to them,
and some OF them have been taken here.
One cause tor their fear is that there
still remains a good deal Of gas along the
bottom, and they fear another explosion.
Where the gas is coming from is mys-
terry.
One Of the hero martyrs Of the flood
was A. F. Moran, an electrician OF
Rochester, N. Y. When the flood came
he secured a boat and, going from house
to house on the fats, warned people.
Then he helped people to places OF safe
", and fifteen persons say they were
saved BY him. He made one trip too
many, however, and was in the middle
OF the stream when the explosion oc-
Cured. His body has not yet been
found.
Another brave man is John Gregory
Like many others he secured aboat and
saved many lives. On his last trip he
had three children and a woman in his
boat. He was standing up in the boat
padding. When he saw the flashes oil
flame coming toward them he called to
the woman and children to lie down in
the bottom Of the boat, which they
did, and were harmed. He, however,
stood to his work and the flames swept
by terribly burning his face and hands
After getting the woman and children
to place Of safety he tell from exhaus-
ton and pain. He lives but will lose
his eyesight and the useof his hands.
