CAKNEGIE FAILURES.

The Carnegie LAnd Company and the
Carnegie Iron Company, of Tennessee,
Go to the Wall.
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, June 4.-Yes-
terday the Carnegie Land Company and
the Carnegie Iron Company made an as
signment TO J. w. Cure. The liabili-
ties, due largely to Eastern and North
ern parties, are placed at Sl25,000. And
the assets, consisting Of q new blast
furnace, hotel. lands and town lots and
notes, are estimated at S600,0 900. Gen.
J. T. Wilder, the president, has just
returned from the East, where he had
been to float bonds to the amount OF
500, 600, but the parties who had prom
iSed TO take them found themselves
unable 10 do so now on account or
the prevailing financial ssringency and
there was nothing left to do but assign.
Ii is confidently expected by the stock
holders, most of whom are large East
ern capitalists, that the matter will be
straightened out by the middle Of Oc-
tober and the company taken out OF the
aSSignes'S hands.

ON THE BRIGGS CASE.
DIR. Bolles of New York-Both Sides Were
Right.

DIR. Bolles OF New York-Both Sides Were
Right.
New YoBK, June 4.-Dr. Edwin G..
Bolles preached to-day on the Briggs
trial to large congregation
at the Church OF the Eternaf
Hope. The subject OF the pas
tors discourse was "How hersy
trials appear to a LIBERAL" He began
by stating that he did not propose to
abuse the Presbyterian Church, for
their action was logical and from their
point Of view right.
1.-THE teeth OF persecution have been
drawn by time; in olden days DIR. Briggs
might have seen the way to the scafold
or the prison."
1.-The plain sense OF the Westminster
Confessions" he continued, seemed to
candid people just as the Presbytery
had decided it. Yet DIR. Briggs
was perfectly right. The only
trouble was that DR.. Briggs
was the right man in the wrong
place. he can regard his condemnation
as every man who has been ahead OF his
time has done, as a compliment, al
though perhaps an embarrassing one.
II seems to me that such a heresy trial
is a maker Of inidels. 1t adds to
the scandals which make a great many
Intelligent men and women despise the
church, which has more danger to fear
from the conclusions OF the world that
she preserves only the letter and not
the spirit of the Masters gospel, than
from any attacks which can be made
upon her from the outside.
"One thing is certain. 1t seems that
there is more need than ever Of a clear,
vigorous and devout statement OF the
principles of the liberal church. 1t
must be made clear, that men may see
that religion is not necessarily fossil
from prehistoric ages, nor dangerous
compromise between conservatism and
progress"

President Cleveland Returns to Washing
ton after His Outing.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 4.-Presi-
dent Cleveland returned to Washington
at TAO this morning from his short fish
ing trip at Cape Charles, Va, aud was
met at the station by Private Secretary
Thurber with the Presidents carriage,
and the two were driven to the White
House. Very few people were at the
Pennsylvania station at this hour, as
the time of the arrival Of the Presi-
dents car attached TO train No. I'll from
Wilmington was much earlier than the
public expected, 9 being the regular
schedule time.
The President last night sent a tele-
gram 10 Mr.. Thurber, informing him
when he would arrive. The run from
Exmore to Washington was made quick
ly aud without mishap Of any sort. Mr..
Cleveland STAYED at the White House
half an hour. He then called for his
carriage and was driven to his summer
villa, in the suburbs OF Washington,
where he had breakfast with Mrs. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Cleveland is now as brown
as a berry, and the brief respite from
business has had the effect Of refresh
Ing him both mentally and physically.
He has had good sport and Is very much
pleased with his trip.

A SUICIDE EPIDEMIC

Appears to Have swept OVev the City OF
BrotherIy Love-FOur Gases Yesterday.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 4.-This
city seem TO be having an epidemic OF
suicide. Three successful and one un-
successful attempt were reported to the
coroner to-day.
One Of the former, that OF Adam
Comfort, was OF the sensational order.
Comfort was an inmate OF the State
pealtentiary, and was only nineteen
years old. Yesterday he deliberately
laid his head on the ground in front OF
a loaded cart which was passing through
the prison yard, and the wheel passing
over his neck fractured the vertebr@.
He lived few hours only. Cause, de-
spondency.
John MeQuaid. aged 50, who came
here from San Francisco in December
last, blew out his brains at the home OF
his sister to-day. He had been brood
ing over the death Of his wife and the
disappearsnce OF son. In the mans
trunk was found $4,000 in cash.
Jane Mooney, aged "a, ended her lifo
with a dose OF lrudanum to-day; cause
rum and poverty.
John O'Counor, a farmer, aged SO,
who came to town from Overbrook, Pa,
yesterday, was found lying covered with
blood in the street this morning. He
had cut his throat because he had been
unjustly accused Of stealing. His
chances Of recovery are fair. During
the past week there have been ten
deaths from suicide in this city. The
body OF an unknown man, who is sup
posed to have committed suicide, was
fshed out Of the Delaware river this
AfternOOn.

"Why, the scurvy fellow who did this

pocket and call it journalism. don't

nothing. / am under no obligation
whatsoever to them. am naval OIL

the President. The newspapers may
say what they have a mind to, IL Will
not troubls me In the least"
The reporter interjected that 1t was
rather difficult thing to please every
body. ST don't try to-" said the Com.
mander. 81 am always anxious ana
willing to do as much as possible Tor
the newspapers and to give them full
information regarding the movements
OF the Infanta, but they overstepped
the bounds of decency. The Herald
and Times published this letter this
morning. No decent paper would
have done such thing. Inc
letter was private letter-in d
measure a reply to lady's inquiries
although there was nothing to conceal
about the matter, and any newspaper
man could have had 1t for the asking In
decent way. This sort Of reporting
is going too far. 1t is degrading the
press to the gutter, and the American
people will rise against 1t and put II
down. No self-respecting people would
tolerate some of tie reporting nova
days. 1t is not journalism, it is dis
grace to journalism" =,
What does the Infanta think OF all
this matter?"
"Well, she knows 1t all and she is dis
gusted. She doesn't read the papers
herself, bnt they are read by members
of her party. She ordered, when she
came to the country, that all the papers
should be taken and carefully kept dur
ing her tour, but now she has counter
manded that order. Bogus interviews
and the generally discreditable style In
which matters have been treated and
this latest Incident about the letter have
caused her TO shut down on American
newspapers. She will not allow them
to be taken into her rooms during the
remainder Of her stay in the country"

DAVIS AND THE 400.
New York Society Indignant The Infantn
and the Newspapers.

New York Society Indignant The Infantn
and the Newspapers.
New YORK, June 4.-If Commander
Davis Of the United States Navy, who
represents the country in attendance on
the country's guest, the Infanta Eulalia,
has not pleased most people since he
undertook his task, he is satisfied that
he has done his duty and to the salts
faction of those more Immediately con-
cerned.
The latest rumpus he is supposed to
have raised is one that at the first blush
looked as If he were going to have two
cities by the ears and TO come out OF the
affair badly used up man. The idea
that he had presumed to write lecture
on manners to Mrs. Potter Palmer, who
has since her girlhood mingled with the
best societies In two continents, and
time ana again taken part iu
court functions in various European
capitals, not to talk Of her having been
received by Queen Victoria, was too
much for the soberest and least con-
cerned man in the community. That
he had declared that he cared no more
for New York society than for that OF
Timbuctoo might be tolerated, but to
lecture Mrs. Potter Palmer, never.
Things are not, however, what they
seem, and Commander Davis is not per-
haps so bad as he is painted. A re-
porter saw him yesterday evening after
his trip with the Princess in the Dol
phin. He was not strutting about In
gold lace, but was very mild and cour-
teous in plain work-a-day suit OF citi-
zen's clothes.
"You have come to see me about that
letter to Mrs. Palmer 2" asked the Com
mander before the reporter had time to
make remark. WELL" he went on,
"the entire business on the part of the
newspapers is shabby affair. There
is nothing in the matter whatever.
The whole thing is that Mrs. Potter
Palmer wrote to me desiring infor-
nation as to the reception OF
the Princess in Chicago, and / en-
deavored to give il TO her as best could.
! asked the young woman typewriter In
the hotel II she would write my reply
at my dIctation. She had an objection
to- going 70 my room-an objection
which l respeet-and so came down
stairs to where she usually does busi-
ness. There dictated q. letter to Mrs.
Palmer IN purely categorical answers
to the questions she asked me. Some
scalawag got around and took notes Of
what l said. What be heard was gar
bed and did me great injustice, be-
cause was made to apperr as dicta-
tor OF affairs OF etiquette to Mrs. Palmer.
assure you l had letters enough 10

Palmer's business, and l had no
fear whatever as to the reception
Of Of the Princess by the people
Of Chicago But when Y received let
ter from Mrs. Palmer, Vn which she
asked ever so many quesA Aons, j thought
il was only courtesy shW deserved on

Fair to send her categori answers.

FATAL FIRE IN A FLAT.
Five People Burned to Death in the
Night.
FOUR BURNED IN THEIR BEDS,
Suffocated by the Smoke While
Sleeping-Hot Ashes Sent Down
on the Dumb Waiter the Prob
able Cause Of the Horror-The
Tenants Had Objected to More
Fire Escapes.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Lying In an un-
dertaking establishment In East Twen-
ty-eighth street are the FIVE burned and
blackened bodies of the persons who
perished in the fire last night In the
fat house 13s East Forty-third street.
With one exception the bodies are burn
ed beyond recognition.
The charred remains are those OF Will
liam Bente, 25 years old; Louise Bente,
25 years old, his wife, Elsie Bente, 20
years old his sister; Helen Wetmore
Dietz, years old niece Of Mrs. Bente
and Henry Pugsley 80 years old who
occupied hall room in the Bente fiat.
Four Of the persons who were killed,
an investigation showed were burned In
their beds, having been overcome ty
the suffocating smoke before they were
awakened to realize their danger.
1t Is generally believed that the 1re
was caused by hot ashes which had
been sent down the dumb walter. The
waiter was OF wood as was also the
shaft.
Mrs. Charles 81. Bjorkwall was the
first to discover the danger Shortly
before 12 o'clock see opened a window
of the bath room which looked into the
air shaft on the fourth floor and was al
most overcome by the smoke whlcn
poured in. She screamed fre and
aroused the other memb bers OF the fam
lily.
Mary and Kate Riley, who lived on
the second floor, and Mrs. Dugsn and
her children, on the first floor, escaped
without much difficulty. In the mean
time an alarm had been sent out ana
when the firemen arrived they found
the people panic stricken and rushing
from their homes In their night clothes
from nearly all the buildings In the row.
Streams OF water had scarcely began to
play on the flames before their was the
report OF a loud explosion from the
Bente fiat.
The gas which had accumulated In
the kitchen from the gas stove exploded
and completely enveloped the top OF the
building In flames. Until after the IRE
had been extingushed 1t was thought
that no one had perished, then the fire.
men searched the place and found the
five bodies.
The loss by the fire Is about $1,000.
The building as well as the entire OF
which it Is a part is owned by Cooper,
Hewitt 81 Co. Three weeks ago ex-
Mayor Hewitt proposed to put fire ex-
capes In front Of the fat, but the ten
ants objected, saying that those In the
rear were sufficient.
Ex-Mayor Cooper was at the scene OF
the fire to-day, and together with the
fire marshal was investigating the
cause OF the fire. They found nothing
TO indicate that 1t was, as was first
thought, Of incendiary origin.
