i train composed Of several cars iiiled
with recruits was running from siatousk

foremost car. The train was going at tuli
speed and the tongues of fire swept back
ward. and in a few minutes all the cars
We're blazing.
The engineer, for some uneXplainen
reason, did not stop the train until he had
run a considerable distance. The recruits,
or at least rs many Of them as could DO SO,
leaned from the windows and doors. some
OF them landed uniniured in the heavy
snow banks, while others who landed IN
the cleared tracks were killed. Those who
we're unable to get out Of the cars were
burned to death, for the train was entirely
consumed.
When the confusion had somewhat sub.

in the forward car were skylarkinS and

hurt by also jumping from the window
Several other persons were slightly i'll

The lodging house was kept by Mrs.
Lizzie McNally. About II o'clock she
asked James Parry, n young man who
lodged in the house, to go down in the
cellar and try to thaw out frozen water
pipe.
Parry took coal oil lamp and went
down to the cellar While looking for the
frozen pipe the lamp he held in his hand
exploded, scattering the blazing oil over
Parry and around the cellar.
Smarting from the burns of the oil Parry
did not wait to stamp out some blazing
rubbish, but rushed MP stairs and into the
street The fire quickly spread and James
Mulluugh blind man. who was sleeping
IN the second story, was burned to death
In the third floor, Edward Hill, James
Kelly and Edward Miles were asleep.
When awakened by tine smoke their
escape was cut off by the stairs, and they
jumped from the window to the street
below.

Miles broke his leg and arm but will re
cover.
Hill was the last to jump and he escaped
serious injury by jumping into blanket
that some of the neighbors held under the
window.
The loss by the fire is about $1,000.

senator Gray,s Recollection.

The Democratic members of the Legis-
lature, in caucus last Monday night,
unanimously renominated George Gray |
for another full term as Senator from
Delaware in the Senate of the United |
States. Tuesday both houses took u |
formal vote for Senator, and Mr.. Gray
received the votes of all the mem
bers, excepting Senator's Pilling and
McAIullen, the two lone Republican
members Of the General Assembly of
1898. Yesterday at noon, the Senate
and House met in joint session,
when the journals Of the two bodies, as
far as they relate to the vote for United
States Senator, were read and COM
pared. The Speaker of the Senate
then formally declared the election of
Mr.. Gray, and the required certificates
of election We're prepared and signed.
1t is a great compliment, but one in
every way deserved by Mr.. Gray, to re-
ceive such hearty and sincere endorse
ment at the hands of the representatives
of the people of Delaware. 1t must be
remembered that Mr.. Gray's reelection
was IL distinctive issue before the people
at the last election, and the great pre-
ponderance Of Democratic sentiment in
the present Legislature is direct result
of that election, the two Republican
members Of the Senate having held over
from the last term. AS far as the YER
dict of the people is concerned, there

The French government is trying the
experiment of expelling those foreign
correspondents whose comments on the
scandalous Panama canal exposures
are especially calling to the officials of
the republic. This course, however, is
hardly calculated TO raise the French
government in the estimation of the
world at large. Ii the correspondents
prove libellous, the law of libel will
doubtless prove sufficient to ensure their
just punishment. Arbitrary expulsion
is procedure not at all consistent with
free republic.

The meeting Of the Farmers Institute
at Newark, on Monday, at which prac-
tical demonstration Of the danger Of
tuberculosis among cattle was given by
the slaughter OF two diseased animals,
was very interesting and important
occasion. A number of members of the
Legislature were among those present,
and were doubtless impressed with the
necessity of stringent legislative meas
ures to prevent the spread of this most
alarming affection. 1t was stated by 4
physician Of experience and reputation,
at this meeting, that the cattle plague
is worse than the cholera, and while
this may be an extreme comparison, it
shows the estimate placed upon the evil
by intelligent professional men who
have made its ravages careful study.
The matter is one that affects human as
well as animal life, and the necessity Of
preventive measures cannot be toe
strongly impressed upon the Legisla,
| ture.

The sham reciprocity which was all
the greatest Of Republican statesmen,
now daily nearing the grave, could
Dragon the Mckinley Congress into
conceding, is placing this nation i'll
not very crcditable attitude before
South American republics. This is
especially the case with the United
States Of Colombia, against which sis.
ter republic President Harrison has en-
forced the retaliatory provision of this
so-callcd reciprocity section of the Me-
Kinley bill. Coffee is the chief staple
Of Colombia. Formerly we imported
about $2000,00O worth of coffee per
year from this republic. The Presidents
proclamation had the effect Of taking
Colombian coffee out Of the free list
and making it dutable at the rate Of
three cents pound. This is a
biting oil your nose to spite your
face way of doing business. 1t is O
| small matter so far as our coffee
supply is concerned, since Colombia
S2,00O,O00 worth is lnappreciable in the
total of $l25,00000O worth of coffee
annually consumed in this country
But the Colombians are complaining
and with much reason, that the en-.
forcement Of this retaliatory discrimina
ton against their people is in direc
violation Of their treaty with the United
States. That treaty contains the usua
most favored nation" clause, unde
which each contracting party solemnll
coyenanted TO admit the other to all tn
privileges which might be accorded t
any other nation. To tax Colombian
coffee three cents pound while III
coffee Of other countries is admitte
free, they contend, is contrary to til
letter and spirit Of this treaty ami bot
in law and effect works total abroga
ton Of the whole treaty. Its not cas-
to see how We can honorably, wlthou
n resort to sophistry unworthy o grea
nation, offset this contention.
