an extradition treaty with Russia was
ratified. Within the past six months
two treaties, the only ones pending be-
fore the senate, have been ratified.
These are extradition treaties with
Russia and France, and, as has
been stated, their ratification is
"a world wide significance. In
ratifying these treaties, the United

New YORK. Fob. 1.-THE Republican
club tonight gave Lincoln anniversary
dinner. More than 800 men distin-
gufshed in nearly every walk in life
were present and orators of the occasion
came from all parts of the country, each
in his own way IMPLYING and represent
ing some sentiment or phase of national
politics. The club president, John S..
Smith, presided. At his right sat Sec
retsry of the Treasury Charles Foster
and at his lett Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.
Others at the guests table were DR..

man J. @. Taylor OF Ohio, Assistant Sec
retary OF the Interior Buassy, Gen. Hor-
ace Porter and Congressman johnson of
North Dakota.
President Smith, in making the open
ing address, said: "The little skirmiHh
Of last November was but a temporary
triumph for Great Britain and the
Anglomaniacs, which will be blowed out
in great tide in the Republican vic
tory that will sweep the party into
power in 1885,"
Colonel Ingersoll responded to the
toast, Abraham Lincoln. He said in
part: abraham Lincoln was strange
rningling of the tragic, heroic and gro
tesque; personi6cation of all that was
gentle, just. humane and honest;
merciful, laughable, loveable and
divine, and all these sterling attributes
he consecrated for the uee of man. Lin
coin had no ancestors; he had no fell
lows and no successor. How can we ac-
count for this great character in our his
tory? He never abused power except
on the side of mercv, and knew no fear
except that of being wrong. His was
the grandest figure OF our times and the
gentlest memory of our world"
Secretary of the Treasury Foster fol-
lowed Colonel Ingersoll, speaking for the
administration. He thought the coun-
try now comedies tnat the great
office OF president is filed by as able O
man as ever sat in that chair. He pos
sesses many of the traits which have
been described of Lincoln. He never
did anything in the world he did not
think was right. Headed by such o
man, it is not surprising that his cabl-
net and ministers have been unueually
successful in their offices.
Chauncey NJ. Dspew spoke to the
Republican Party. He eaid, in part:
"It is our pride and glory as % party
that there has been neither incompe-
tency nor corruption in the Republican
administration from Abraham Lincoln
to Benjamin Harrison. The most ex-
plicit pledge and promise in the Demo-
cratic platform was to repeal the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman silver act,
but yet an imperial mandate from the
chosen leader OF the party, calling upon
the Democratic house OF representatives
to fulfill this plank was answered when
the Democratic members voted no and

FRIGHTFULLY MANGLED.
AWFUL DISASTER IN A VERMONT
MARBLE QUARRY,
Worhmen Buried Uudcr Tons of Rock.
Seven Instantly Killed and
Number of Others
Injured.

RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 11.-One OF the
worst disasters in the history of marble
uuarrying occurred at West Rutland
little after 1 O'Clock this afternoon, in
quarry operated by the Vermont Mar
BILE company. A great mass OF stone
fell into the quarry and seven men were
instantly killed and number OF others
injured. The victims were crushed so
some coald not be recognized.
The killed are William Lukas, Frank
Gplig, Edward Powers, Alexander Blum
guess and three unrecognizable men.
The injured are James Dooley, John
Dunn, Charles Anderson. Fred Mar
chand, Auto Ractio, John G.. Anderson,
Peter Granier, John Michan, Michael
Cupps.
AS soon as the accident happened the
electric danger signal was hung in the
company's offices, and the mills and
work everywhere stopped at once. All
| the doctors in West Rutland and Rut-
! land were called by telephone and re-
eponded quickly. Scores Of men were
also sent down ip Spread to the streeta
and hundreds of men, women and chill
dren hurried to the quarry and by
o'clock the vicinity was crowded. In
the crowd were many relatives of the
dead or injured and they were frantic
with grief.
The accident was near the extreme
end of the quarry, far under the hill.
The killed and some of the injured were
buried under tons of rocks and the work
of rescue was necessarily difficult.
The cause of the caving in is not posi-
lively known. E. B. Morse, treasurer
of the company, seys the cause is not
certain, though the ''scale" Or part OF
the roof that fell was probably loosened
by freezing.

THOSE PNEUMATIC GUNS.

Veeuvius.
PORT ROYAL, s. O., Feb. 1.-THE
charge Of powder in the Vesuvius's pro-
jectiies was today increased from 10 to
15 pounds with the intention of making
whatever explosion that might occur
more perceptible. The gun-powder con-
tanned in four of seven shells was placed
in sacks each with view of accomplish.
ing detonation more readily. Captain
Rapief holds to the belief that in
three Of the five shells fired yesterday,
the gun powder was dispersed by thu
more rapid action of gun cotton and
failed to explode. He believes, how
ever, that all the fuses fulfilled their
functions and detonated the primers
both of the powder and cotton. The
range selected today was the same as
that of yesterday, 1000 yards. The first
shot almost duplicated that of yesterday.
No explosion was noticed. Three other
shots were fred with practically the
same results, no explosions being noticed.
