CABINET MAKERS,
Guesses as to Who Cleveland Will Select
MS His Advisers.

MS His Advisers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Most of the
people in Washington interested in the
gossip relating to Mr.. Cleveland's cab
met choosing, have settled down into
the belief that Senator Carlisle is to be
secretary of the treasury in the next ad-
ministration. They are the more in
clined to this from the fact that the
choice of Senator Carlisle would prove
satisfactory to every one.
Among the guesses for the other de-
partments are that of ex-Minister
Phelps. of Vermont, for secretary of
state, who divides with Don M. Dickin-
son in the Washington mind, the best
chance for that portfolio.
Representative Herbert, of Alabama,
and ex-Private Secretary Lamont are
both talked of for the navy department.
General Pat Collins, of Boston, is talked
of for secretary of war. For the de-
partment of justice, the names most
generally mentioned are Representative
Culberson. Mr.. Martin Morrill,, Repre-
sentative Wilson and Hon. j. Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia. Representative
Blount, of Georgia, who has served for
many years ON the committee on post
ffices and postroads, in the house ofrepre-
sentatives, is talked of for the head of the
postoftice department, and may get the
place if Mr.. Herbert, from the adjoin-
ing state, does not get the navy depart
ment. He may be appointed anyhow,
though it is thought to be more prob
able that in the event of the selection
OF Mr. Herbert, q western man, like ex-
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, who, how
ever, says positively that he is not q
cabinet possibility, will be appointed
For the interior department Mr.. Morri-
son, of Illinois; Mr.. Gray, of Indiana,
and other men of western states, are
talked of, and the agricultural depart.
ment, it is said, will go to Mr.. Hatch, of
Missouri, or to some Democrat from the
northwestern states.

that they were born at Gibraltar, Of Irish

According to the account which he gave,
he started with his wife from Gibraltar, en-

situation which he hoped TO obtain in Lon

plained, but rs they both speak Spanish
fiuently they possibly had comparatively
little trouble In making their way.
On entering France, however, they were
not so much at home Finnigan says that

THE LAMP EXPLODED.
Two Young Ladies Horribly burned b.
the Blazing OIL.

Two Young Ladies' Horribly burned by
the Blazing OIL.
MILLERsBURG, o., Jan. "A young
daughter of Louis McVey attempted to
extinguish large hanging lamp Satur-
day by blowing down the chimney.
There was a terrific explosion, which
knocked the girl down and covered her
clothing with the blazing oil. A sister
sprang to her assistance. fighting the
fire with heroic disregard of her own
danger, until she was horribly burned
about the arms and upper body. Be
fore the burning clothing could be
torn off the girl who caused the explo-
sion, she was fatally burned.
The mother of the girls has been con-
fined to her bed for some time, and was
in a very feeble condition. But the
spectacle of her children being burned
to death before her nerved her to the
effort of getting out OF bed and trying
to get a bucket of water to throw over
the shrieking girls. AS she stopped to
raise the bucket of water, her strength
gave way and she fell heavily to the
floor. breaking her arm. The injury
and shock, coupled with her delicate
state, leaves her in q precarious cOndi-
ton. The first daughter is dying from
her burns, and the sister is in danger
from the combined effects of her injur-
les and the prostration following her
fight with the fire, in the effort to save
her sisters life.

Was the Hawser Cut:

New YORK, Jan. st was disc0v-
cred Sunday that the steel hawser,
with which the Umbria was towed by
the steamship Bohemia, Of the Ham
burg-American line, on Dec. "a, did not
part solely because of the strain caused
by the high seas. A clean nick in one
of the strands indicates that the hawser
was cut aboard the Bohemia.
The Bohemia was signaled and en-
gagged to tow the Umbria to New York.
A boats crew from the disabled Gu
harder took q line to the Hamburg
ship, although there was heavy sea
on. Heavy snow squalls came up later
and the Bohemia could not be seen
from the Umbria. After towing thirty
six miles the hawser parted. This oc-
CURED at 10:45 p. m, ON tn 9th.
The great strain caused by the heavy
seas was supposed to have broken the
hawser. 1t is probable that the Ham
burg ship was in danger and there was
no time to back the engine so that the
hawser could be cast off. 1t was par
TALLY cut by the engineers chisel; the
strain did the rest. The Bohemia was
not seen after the line parted, and is
supposed to have gone on her way to
Hamburg. Self-preservation alone
would warrant her in cutting the haw-
ser and leaving the Umbria in a helpless
condition.

Vessels Lose Track of Each Other in n

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-After seven
days of great anxiety the Cunard steam
ship Umbria now lies safely in port at
the foot of Clarkson street Her days
of toll, desperation and her Thousand
battles and perils are past, for the pres
ent at least. She is safe, comparatively
sound. Her passengers are all ashore.
Their baggage has been examined.
Many of them have left town, and
thousands of anxious hearts rest easily,
relieved of the burden of anxiety thai
for many days weighed them down.
The cause of her delay was fractured
shaft. 1t was discovered ON the after
noon of Friday, Dec. %, while the YES
sci was south of the banks of the New
foundland. Her machinery was
stopped at once andrepairs Immediately
began. At that time the disabled
steamer was in the midst of a violent
storm.
After drifting for twelve hours in a
storm she was towed seventy-five miles
by the Bohemia. of the Hamburg
American line, but the cable that cont
nected the two steamers was broken i'll
a heavy gale on Saturday night, and as
raging snow storm prevailed at the
time they lost track Of each other.
Again drifting for three days to the
southest, she started again with her
own machinery, which had been re-
paired under great difficulties by Chief
Engineer Tomlinson. and came on in
fine weather at half speed to her desti-
nation.
The passengers were all carefully
cared for and assured that there was no
actual danger, and almost every one ON
board accepted the situation cheerfully.
There was very little commotion when
they We're informed Of their situation.
They took it calmly. The principal
anxiety of every one, indeed, was on ac-
count of relatives and friends at home.
There was a few kickers who thought
that the captain was not doing his duty
but it soon developed that they had no
experience at sea and kicking had no
effect on the majority of the passengers.

Can YOU Realize 7ulSs2 4 G1co

One of the chief elements
of success in life is to be able
to realize good thing after
you once get it Many of
the failures that every day
crowd our newspapers and the
thousands of which we never
hear are due directly to igno-
rance in not knowing when
one is well off. Is it not so z?
How often do we see young
men sorrounded by advantage
es-with every prospect of
a bright career, but who, it
seems, persistently, make dis
NAL failures ! We wonder
why. The cause is evident.
They are like the rolling rock
that could accumulate no moss
They are unlike the thou

ties who have recognized, for
years, in Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store a place
where it does we'll to tarry
and consider the best thing to
do for their own benefit.
And it has always been the
aim of this house to furnish
its customers with stock
the extent of which will leave
no room for dissatisfaction
when a selection is once made.
1t is in their large salesrooms
that the customer finds the
largest and best assortment of
Drugs,
Bouks,
Stationary,
Patent Medicines,
Wall
Paper,
Paints,
Oils, and
Window
Shades
in the county.
In the several departments
mentioned it does seem that
the firm has made a speciality
there, so complete is each line
There are many reasons
why Saur & Balsley excel in
their line of business, among
which we note:
Their prescriptions are com.
pounded from the purest in
gradients obtainable;
Patent medicines, so help
full to many, are of an endless
variety and all standard.
Their book and stationary
trade has always held its own
from the fact that they have
been fortunate in securing
just what you want. Books in
fiction, and of the arts, maga-
zines, and monthly and week.
ly periodicals are found in this
department at lowest prices.
And now that the Holidays
are approaching, the counters
will be replete with articles of
beauty as we'll as usefulness.
The paint and oil depart
ment has long since reached
such a degree of perfection
that it might properly be
termed a system. Any kind
of paint or oil in whatever
quantity can be secured at
once and at the lowest figure.
In wallpaper and window
shades many new styles and
plans have been introduced, all
of which this firm has express
ly madeit a point to secure.
1t will surprise you to see how
much a little money will pur-
chase in this line.
