PITrsBURG, Feb. 23.-TWo children were
burned to death in the fire at McKees-
port, last night. almost within reach of
their father, who q his efforts to rescue
i the little ones almost perished amid smoke
and flames himself, and it is not alto
gether# certain now that he will live. The
third Echild was also probably fatally
burned. The fire occurred late last night
in three-story frame house occupied by
Michael Lynch and his family. The house
was one mass of flames when the 6remen
arrived. Lynch, who is a fireman, rushed
into the house in search of his wife and
children. He had scarcely got inside the
door when he was overcome by dense
smoke. He fell forward on his face uncon-
scious. Several of his fellow fremen, with
the greatest difficulty succeeded in rescu-
ing him. In the meantime two of his chill
dren were burned to death. Another child
was badly burned and may die. Lynch is
in a critical condition and it is thought he
cannot survive. Mrs. Lynch succeeded in.
escaping from the. burning building with
out serious injury.

THE M'GARRAHAN VETO.

Poor old McGarrahan must wait a
little longer. The bill passed by con-
greSs only enabled him to take his case
to the court of claims, but even that was
more than the New Idria Mining COM
pany desired, and the president has
vetoed the bill. OF course it is only a
coincidence that the chief owner of The
New Idria is the father-iu-law of White
law Reid, but the veto will give more
satisfaction to Mr.. Mills than it will to
anybody lSe.-PhiladeIphia Times.
President Harrison has vetoed the bill
for the relief of William McGarrahan.
Naturally. McGarrahan is poor and
the men who are operating the valuable
mines to which McGarrahan lays claim
are rich. And one of these, too, is Pa
cific Railroad Magnate d. o. Mills,
father-in-law to Whitelaw Reid, who is
President Harrison's present running
mate. Mr.. Harrison will have a hard
job in explaining away this veto. The
bill TO which he refused his signature
merely provided for referring McGarra-
hans case to the court of claims, where
it could be acted upon judicially and
the right and the law and the equity i'm
the matter be determined. President
Harrison veto means simply that Me-
Garrahan is deprived of the right to be
heard in the courts. But then Nectar
rahan is poor. and ID. D. Mills is in the
habit of contributing literally to the
Republican campaign fund.-lndianap-

THE DEFEAT OF o'BRIEN.

Fillmore Are Scrapping.

Fillmore Are Scrapping.
The defeat of Hon. James O'Drien for
the Republican judicial nomination in
the Tenth judicial district after he had
secured twenty-one delegates under in
structions for him, has started fierce
factional fight in that district. 1t seems
that the people in some quarters got the
idea that there was deal between Fill
more and Houston counties by the
terms of which Houston was to support
Rockwell, of Fillmore, for congress,
ana Fillmore was to give its votes in the
judicial counties to Judge O'BrIen.
Whether Judge OBrien entered into
such a deal Or not, the fact remained
that Houston voted for Rockwell at Wa
SEGA, ami the Fillmore county Repub-
lican convention instructed its dele
gates to the judicial convention to vote
for Judge O'Bren. The apportionment
was as follows: Fillmore, IL; Houston,
10; Freedom, 10. and Mower. 10. Fill
more and Houston together gave
0'Brien a majority of 1, and defeated

and Whytock. of Freedom. But in
mere Republicans made a mistake,
among the men chosen being
G. M. Lowell, wealthy and
independent merchant of Chatfield who
was not at the county convention. Bat
Mr.. Lowell was at Austin and straight
way announced that he would not abide
by the instructions given him. He de-
clared he would vote for 10 one save
the venerable Judge Farmer, and the
Mower and Freedom delegates to dc
feat O'Brien voted with him.
Judge Farmer has declined, and it

1t appears that if the Democrats win
they must carry the states they carried
in 1888, and, in addition, wrest As votes
from the Republican column That
they will hold the Is states assigned to

conclusion. Not one of these states can

nolS, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New
York, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
In some of these states the Democracy
has very little, if any, chance to secure
straight party victory; but through
the Peoples party movement the
states may be redeemed from Re-
publicanism. Through the division
OF Michigan's representation the
Democracy is assured of several cleo
toral votes from that state. The sc
votes of New York and the Is votes of
Indiana would be 3 more than the 4S
votes necessary to add TO the certainly
Democratic states i'll order to secure the
election of the Democratic ticket. This
is without counting any votes from
Michigan in the Democratic column.
The Democracy has an excellent chance
to carry Illinois and Wisconsin, but
those states Will not be needed. New
York and Indiana will win the dav.
IN Indiana the victory is already as
good as won. Willie in New York DEM
ocratic prospects were never brighter.
But at the worst, and in the event that
New York goes Republican, the result
will only tie to throw the election into

ciently to secure clear majority in the

The prevailing sobriety at Washing

the very general prevalence of intem-
perate habits among our public men a
generation back. A man capable of
making the sweeping accusations that
Watson did upon so slight grounds is
deserving the SevereSt condemnation

bauchery in the capitol. He has not
only failed to do so. but has been UNI
able to prove solitary instance of in

his own reputation for yeracity. no less

a suitable apology.-New York World.
Perhaps the gravest charge that the
Alliance leader has brought in his Scath-

drunken men as reeling in the isles Of
