that the election of Grover Cleveland TO
the presidency may very likely be the

States. Many incline to the opinion that
he will be booked for the first vacancy. We
know of no Democrat better qualified for
the nlAen.

A HORRIBLE SIGHT
Terrific Explosion and Fire
in Madison, Iowa.
SEVEN PERSONS FOUND DEAD.
Two Others Discovered to be Alive, but
Die Shortly Afterward.

The FLAMES Were Beyond Control Before
Water Could be Played Upon Them
The FIremen Had "a Desperats Battle
with the Fire-Bodies Found Embraced
In Death and Charred beyond RecOgni
tion-A Touching Spectacle.
Fort MADISON, Iowa, April Late in
the night fire was discovered in the two
story residence of s. V. Kitchen, which
is situated on Santa Fe Avenue.
An alarm was at once given, but before
the occupants could make their escape a
lerri0c explosion occurred in the build
ing, windows and doors being shattered,
and the rocking and swsying structure
threatening to topple over in heap.
When the fire department reached the
conflagration the fire had made rapid
headway. To their further discontinue
they found that the nearest hydrant was
four blocks away, and before the water
could be brought to bear upon the burn
ing building, the flames were beyond
control.
After desperate battle the hremen
succeeded in controlling the fire and, as
soon as they could enter the building,
attempted to find the nine missing occu-
pants.
They found their way to the upper
stories completely cut off, however, the
explosion having totally wrecked the
inner stairway leading to them. Ladders
were brought, and when the men as
cended they were confronted by ghastly,
but touching spectacle.
Embraced in death lay the bodies Of
Mrs. Kitchen, her baby and sister, Miss
Sidney Day, charred almost beyond
recognition, Near by lay the body of
Mr.. S. V. Kitchen and his two Other
children. August Kenemeyer boarder
also had met his death in the building
and but two of the occupants Of the ill
fated house showed any signs of life
These were Henry Kenemeyer, aged 1S
boarder, and Samuel Kitchen, aged 81
brother of s. V. Kitchen. They were
carried out of the building, but bott
died few hours afterward.

yards from the spot where the bomb,

placed. No arrests have been made.

DR.. WEBSTER'S END
He is Found Dead With His
Neck Broken.

BALTIMORE, April THE Rev. DR.. j,
J. G. Webster, the prominent Methodist
minister who disappeared on Monday
night, leaving his bride of two weeks at
her mothers house, was found dead in
Charleston, w. Va. The news came to
the wife in the form of dispatch from
Justice Hall of Charleston.
The clergyman had no relatives or
friends in Charlestown and was entirely
unknown there 1t is believed that he
went from Camden station, where ne was
seen by one of his parishioners, to Wash
ington, and there bought a ticket to
Charleston on the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad. When he reached Charleston
Tuesday afternoon he went to the Hotel
Rutfner and was assigned to a room on
the third floor. Yesterday morning he
was found dead on the sidewalk under
meath the window of his ROOM
There is no doubt that DR.. Webster
was insane The remarkable feature of
the case is that he had given no indica-
tions of coming alteration. He was
quite i'll just before his marriage, and
tue labOrs incident to the preparations
for the conference which was held at his
church increased his burdens. He was a
hard worker, but was not strong. Dr..
W. Marshall Smith, his son-in-law, with
whom he had been living, said he had
noticed in him no indication of mental
depression up to the time when he bade
his wife good-by on her mothers steps
and asked her to wait for him until his
return from the quarterly conference,
which he was expected to open.
DIR. Webster was one of the most gifted
and most popular clergymen in the city.
He was Az years old, and he had had
charge of the largest Methodist churches
in the city. His recent appointment as
| presiding elder gave general satisfaction.
