THAT LETTER.
Harrity Talks ABOUT His Com
munication to Congressman.
HE TAKES ALL THE BLAME.
Cleveland Did Not Suggest the Sending o
the Silver Letter,

Nothing TO Say About the Nature OF the
RepIies--Tbe Cleveland Movements on

Thurber, Detroit Lawyer, Will BE the
President-EIect's Private Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.--Concernine
the letter sent out by Chairman w. f
Harrity, Of the Democratic national
committee, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the probable attitude OF the Demo
cratic members of the house of repre-
sentatives Of the next congress who are
not members o. the present congress
and who have not voted upon the ques.
ton of the repeal Of the Sherman silver
purchase act, Mr.. Harrity said when
asked about it:
at is evident that some Of our friends
are unduly exercised about the letter
sent out by me. The letter contained
no expression of opinion and made nc
request as to the course to be pursued by
any of the Democratic representatives
in congress. Neither was it sent to such
members. It was only sent to members
of the Democratic national committee
and to chairmen of the Democratic
state central committees and was sent
with the view of learning, as far as
practicable, the position Of Democratic
representatives upon a question the final
disposition of which means as much to the
country as it does to the Democratic
party. The letter was sent out on my
own responsibility, and the suggestion
that it was done at Mr.. Cleveland's re.
quest is without foundation. 1t was
given to the newspapers at Washington,
but for what purpose do not know
However, / believe its publication will
do no harm, but, on the contrary, it is
likely to be an advantage"
"What has been the nature of the re,
plies you have thus far receivedp" was
asked Of Mr.. Harrity.
"That must decline to state at this
time. Ihave already received many an.
swers and as rule men have not hesi,
tated to declare what their position is OF
is likely to be as to the Sherman silver
purchase act. Many are squarely in
favor of its repeal, some are in favor ol
its repeal in modified way and others
are opposed to its repeal. Further than
that have nothing to make public.

The Latest and Most Important Work Of
the Legislature.
| COLUMBUS, March 1.-The senate yes
terday passed Mr.. Pudney's house bill,
making the records of the adjutant gen.
| erals Office stand as prima facie evidence
of the re-enlistment of any soldier of
the late war, to be used rs authoritative
evidence in pension, bounty or other
cases, passed the senate and is now a
law.
Mr.. Lampson's senate bill, providing
| that Judges of election shall make re-
turns to township or municipal clerks in
elections of township or municipal Off
GERS instead Of the county board Of dep
uty supervisors, was passed.
Other bills passed We're: Senate bill
by Mr.. Beebe, providing that when
road has been opened on the order of the
county commissioners, the contractor
shall be paid from either the general or
road fund; senate bill by Mr.. Lampson,
empowering township trustees and viii
lage councils to purchase hearses and
erect vaults for the use of joint Ceme-
teries.
The house concurred in the senate
amendment to Mr.. Dougherty's bill pro-
viding for a fedral form of government
for the city of Columbus by a strict
party vote of 80 yeas to q nays.
The house finance committee discov-
cred a mistake in basing estimates for
appropriations. They found they had
| figured on nearly $50 900 more than the
states revenues. This requires a COM
plete overhauling Of the appropriation
bill.
The Doty bill to allow women to vote
for school board members is liked for
discussion March 8. It's opponents tried
to postpone it indefinitely, but failed

DEATH AND RUIN.
A Hungarian Village Swept
Away by a Flood.
PRAYERS TO THE VIRGIN.
The Church Refuge Availed Not Against
the Rising Water Of the Danube.

Hundreds of the Inhabitants Drowned.
Parents and children Meet Death
ToEether-A Scene Of Appalling Doso-
Iation-one Woman aud Her Five Chill
dren Perish.
VIENNA, March A terrible calamity
has overtaken the village of Gergely,
near the town Of Paks, in Hungary,
situated on the river Danube, about
sixty miles south of Buda. Owing to a
sudden rise in the Danube the 1000 in
habitants Of Gergely found the mud
huts in which they lived surrounded by
water. The people took refuge in the
church and school, which were con-
structed of stronger materials, hoping
that these buildings would be able to
hold out against the flood.
Mothers and children clung to the
altar, beseeching the intercession Of the
saints, They saw their hopes disappear
ing in the raging stream, and the swell
ing waters began to beat against the
church and school building with such
strength that at last they decided that
to remain would mean the destruction
of all of them, while if they fled some,
at least, might escape, Opening the
doors, they started out into the flood
which surged nearly to the waists of the
grown-up people.
Fathers and mothers carried their chill
dren, and the sick and the feeble were
helped by those who were stronger.
They fed as fast as they could in the
direction of Paks. One mother, with
five children, sank in the waters and
persisted. Many others, the number Of
whom is as yet unknown, were drowned
in the food, and the survivors reached
Paks in a most deplorable condition.
The people of Paks gave the fugitives
al the help possible, although deeply
CONCERNED for their own safety, as the
Danube is twenty feet above normal,
There is no doubt that the number Of
dead is very large.
