THE DOCK FIRE.
At Least One Casualty at the Erie Grain
Elevator.

JERSEY CRY, y. j., March 13.-It
was ascertained to-day that at least one
life was lost in the fire at Dock No. ?
last night and there are rumors that the
body OF a drowned barge hand lies in
the slip between Dock No. 2 and the
Erie Company's grain elevator. A party
of workmen picked their way through
the two ruined track pits that divided
the platform floor Of the shed into three
sections. At the extreme east end OF
the south track, about where the fire
was first discovered, the searchers dis
covered the body OF man burned to a
crisp. The remains were identified by
means Of a pair Of spectacles and a
bunch Of keys as those of John Grogg,
a night watchman employed on Dock
No. ,.
The loss on freight will be about Sj0,-
600. The value Of Dock No. >, with
shed, is estimated all the way from Sl2,-
coo TO $50, 900. The damage to railroad
property could not be ascertaned. 1t
is thought an outlay Of $40, 600 will be
required to repair the shed and pier.
The barge Suffolk and the steam
lighter Mary Elizabeth were burned be-
yond repair. They were worth about
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively. The
other barges that were damaged were
the Buffalo, Amboy, Birmingham, Hunt
ley and Ramsay and Margaret II. The
Buffalo is owned by the Erie Railway
Company. The others belong TO various
freight transportation companies and
firms. The damage TO the barges will
aggregate $4,000

REV. MR.. SHERMAN IN TROUBLE,
with Improper Conduct by a
Member of His Flock.

CAPE MAY, March 13.-The next ses-
sion of the New Jersey Annual Confer
ence, which meets at New Brunswick
on Wednesday, will finally dispose
of the case OF Rev. Eugene
Z. Sherman, late the pastor
OF Tabernacle NJ. f. Church. Mr.
Sherman is charged by Miss Eliza w:
Church, young, good-loOking member
of his former flock, with immoral con-
duct. A recent hearing of his case be-
fore a committee of his peers resulted
in his suspension from duty, pending
action of conference.
Miss Church tells a story which, If
true, shows that Mr.. Sherman has been
a faithlesS shepherd for a year or more.
Two years ago he was sent TO the Tab
ernacle charge. To increase his salary
he had large family depending upon
him for support-he taught Cold Spring
public school, where ne was successful
as a pedagogue. but got a reputation
quite unbecoming a minister.
Since the Church affair tongues have
been wsgSing over this and that indiS-
Greet action, magnified by sympathy the
general public has in giving a falling
man an additional kick.
Mrs. Sherman believes in the inno-
cence OF her husband, declaring she
never saw any improperly of conduct
on his part for the year or more
the Church girl was d domestic
at the parsonage. 1t is against Sher-
man that he took French leave and is
now Just where no one seems 10 know.
His excuse for going away so abruptly
was that his health demanded rest,
which could only be obtained by a
change OF location. At the recent hear
ing he was defended by Rev Eli Gift,
ford, Of Millville, one of mis- conference
associates.

srRANGEINFATUATION.
Pretty White Girl of Cleveland, o., Mar
ried TO Negro.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March ia
shocking case was developed in the city
court this morning. A big black negro,
flashily dressed, and a pretty white girl,
with light hair and deep blue eyes, who
carried a chubby, brown-skinned baby
in her plump arms, stood before the
bar. The girl said her name was Mrs.
Daniel Lively, and that she was the
loving wife of the negro at her side.
The baby-"Bless its little hearth
was their child.
Mrs. Lively says she loves her hus-
band devotedly, and was lawfully mar
red to him two years ago at her home
in Cleveland, Q. They removed TO this
city n year ago. They were arrested
on receipt Of telegram from Lebanon,
O., from parties related to the girl.
Lively was seen by the Commercial
Gazette corres9 9ondent. He was proud
of his wife. lie said preacher named
Green, Of color, married them. The
marriage certificate was in the posses
sion OF his mother, at pbellsville,
Ky. He is a teamster, and thinks his
arrest a great piece of injustice.
The woman was also seen at the win
dow OF the female ward. She held In
her arms the little black baby and In

then by imprinting kiss upon its brown
lips. When asked why she had married
a negro, she replied:

WESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD.
The Deal with the Baltimore and Ohio

and the Reading Coming to a Head.
BALTIMORE, March 13.-The Balti-
more and Ohio and Reading and West
ern Maryland deal, temporarily delayed
by the efforts of the Pennsylvania and
the West Virginia Central 10 get con-
troll of the Western Maryland, is now
coming to head.
As stated in these dispatches two
weeks ago, the Western Maryland will
be the connecting link between the
Reading and the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Norfolk and Western. The re-
port from Philadelphia that the Read
Ing and Baltimore and Ohio were COM
pleting negotiations for the lease of the
Norfolk and Western did not cause
much surprise in railroad circles here,
as President Hood, of the Western
Maryland, had intimated that such a
deal was probable.
The announcement that the deal was
on sent Baltimore and Ohio stock BOOM
ing up to 1O1, but very little of the stock
changed hands here.
The Western MarYland's branch lines
in the Cumberland Valley, which are 10
form the connecting links in the new
system from the South and West TO the
North aud East, are rapidly approach
ing completion. Work on the Western
Maryland extension from Hanover TO
Bowmansdale will be begun in the
spring, and the financial assistance will
be furnished by the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Reading, from which sources IL
is understood also come the assurance
given by President Hood that the West
ern Maryland will pay its inter-
est on the clty's holdings II pro-
ceedings looking to a sale of the
property are abandoned. The Norfolk
and Western now connects direct with
the Western Maryland al HagerStown,
and the latter road already handles
great deal OF its Southern traffic. With
Roanoke and Southern and the Lynch
burg and Durham Railroads the Nor
folk and Western controls a tirst-class
Southern system, which, with the Bal
timOre and Ohio. Reading and the New
York and New England, would form
the most powerful railroad system In
the country. A Western Maryland Off
cial said to-day that the Norfolk and
Western could become a part of the new
syscem, being formed by the Reading
and the Baltimore and Ohio, but that
the deal was not yet consummated.

Chicago MacbinIst. Gauge Trouble.

CHICAGO, March 13.-There is trouble
brewing between the seven thousand ma
chinists Of Chicago and the employers. An
edict has gone forth from the governing
body Of the Machinists' International
Union, Of North America, that closer
and more extended organization be affected
here, preparatory 10 a demand upon en-
ployers for higher wages, shorter day
and improved conditions Of labor. The
machinists are the only laboring class that
is yet held % the ten-hOur day. and the
average paw is considerably less than that
enjoyed by the hOd carriers, or bricklayer,
or engine maker.
A mass meeting OF mschinists was held
to-day. II was stated that the object was
10 ascertain whether the machinists OF the
city were satisfied with the pay they were
getting, and 70 urge them 70 Join union
al once. At present only four thousand
out Of the seven thousand are members Of

high personages advised Emperor Will

satisfaction il will afford the widowed
Queen Marie that she has lived
to see reconciliation. 1t Is
not known whether or not the capital,

The young couple have not long been
married, and when the wedding was
solemnized there was many a head wag-

within their home. T. B. Harness Is al
legged TO be very fond OF female society,
and does not curb his passions within
