AFTERMATH.
Only One Death Thus Far from the
Iron Mountain Wreck.

Only one death thus far has result
ed from the wreck, which occurred on
the Iron Mountain railway near Hope,
Arkansas, yesterday morning. The
colored woman, Mary Miles, who was
reported as fatally injured in the DEM
ooRAI's account of the wreck ysster-
day afternoon, died last evening.
Among those more seriously injured
were j. L. Tullis, editor of the Hope
Gazette, who has an arm broken and
it is thought sustained serious inter-
nal injury. He is at his his home in
Hope, receiving every attention possl-
BILE. Mr.. Dick Chappell is able to be
out ON the streets of the city this am,
his injuries having proven slight. Mrs.
N. A. Thomas, of Little Rock, who
was among the injured brought to
this city last evening, is progressing
very favorably to-day, and her daugh-
ter, Miss Mary, was down in the city
this q. m. Mrs. Thomas is at the
home of her brother Officer Dock
Collins. Attorney R. B. Williams, of
Washington, Ark, proceeded to his
home at that place from the scene of
the wreck, he having escaped serious
injury. The name of one j. 7. Will
liams, residence unknown, appears Oh
the list of injured persons. Mss Mar
Gus, of Louisville, KY, and Mrs. Moore,
of Dallas, Texas. both Of whom reach
ed the city last evening from the
scene of the wreck, proceeded on their
respective ways homeward, this morn
ing, after spending the night here and
receiving proper medical assistance.
Neither of these ladies were badly
hurt. Mrs. Zachery and her little
daughter were conveyed back to their
home at Gurdon, Ark, where they
will be cared for by loving hands.
Aside from a more or less severe
shaking up the train men all escaped
practically unhurt. The train was IN
charge of Conductor Jhon Whitesides,
one of the oldest and most popular
passenger men on the road. Engineer
Egleson held the throttle. The
injured persons are all doing fairly
well and no further fatalities are an
ticipated.

A SPLENDID AFFAIR.
The Members of the Harmony Club,
Cover Themselves With
Social Glory.

Beginning at an early nour last
evening, carriage after carriage drew
up in front of the old Federal build
ing, laden with the beauty and chiv-
airy of our dual city, who came to
participate in the great Mask Purim
Ball. AT 10 o'clock, the wltching
hour, when nimble feet began their
rythmic accompaniment to swelling
strains of inspiring music, the floor of
the ball room was found to be graced
by the fair and facinating presence of
fully one hundred couples, embracing
the flower of Jewish social circles, in
this and adjoining cities. The Co.'S
tunes were both elaborate vnd ele-
giant. many of them being perfect
dreams of artistic beuaty, displaying,
ON every side, lavish evidence of the
costumer's most exquisite art. Added
to the lovliness of elegant attire, were
the yet more pleasing effects Of fair
feminine charms, in which were the
blended beauties of both form and
face. The former subject for the
artist; the latter a dream for the poet.
Altogether, the occasion presented to
the eye Of the beholder, vision of
rare and surprising lovliness, in which
brilliant lights, exquisite flowers and
facinating women, formed triple al
lance in combining grace with beauty
and delight with pleasure.
We regret that a lack OF space pre-
vents our giving full list of those
present, together with a description Of
the many tasteful and elegant costumes
worn by the fair dancers. Suffice it
to say, that the affair was, par excel
lence, the event of Jewish social circles,
and that the costumes of the ladies
were as bewitching as they, themselves,
are beautiful.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

At $3.50 o'clock last evening the
alarm of fire was sounded and in
few moments many hundreds Of peo-
pie had gathered around the handsome
residence of Hon. Henry Moore, which
was found to be a perfect mass of
flames. The house, which was one Of
the handsomest and most attractive
homes ON the East side, was complete
ly destroyed, together with its valua-
BILE contents, and half dozen smaller
buildings, including the barn, servants
cottages, etc. For a time destruction
was threatened to the entire block,
which contains a number of valuable
residence buildings, but the arrival of
the hose cart and the heroic efforts Of
the fire department aided by citizens,
together with the fairly affective water
service, was the happy means of avoid
ing the threatened destruction. Ow-
ing to the fact that several streams
were being played upon the burning
building at the same time and from
the same main, the currents were not
as strong as could have been desired,
therefore requiring much longer
time to subdue the flames than other
wise. The fire originated from lamp
catching the lace curtains in the sit
ting room, rapidly spreading there
from to other infamable contents in
the room. Mrs. Moore, in the absence
of her husband who was away from the
city, was almost completely prostrat-
ed. She was taken in charge by kind
and sympathising friends, who did all
in their power to assuage her grief.
Total loss sustained both In building
and contents, is estimated at $4,000,
insured In several companies to the
total amount of $1,000. Mr.. Moore
reached home this morning from New
Lewisville, where he had been called
on business yesterday.

The almost impenetrable air Of

bears striking resemblance to the
bigotry, intolerance and ignorance OF

of this advanced age. That the prac-

The members were in their places
at the usual hour and with the CALLER
les and lobby packed with eager and
expectant spectators, the House took
up the debate ON the Worlds Fair ap-
preparation bill
The contest over the passage of the
bill proved battle royal, in which
the populists members to man aided
by few of the Democratic members
fought the measure to the death.
The magnificent fight was led by
Messrs. Bradley, South, Judkins and
others, on the affirmative and Messrs.
Foster, Witt and Gray, in the enegative.
On final roll call the bill was found
to have received majority of So to
35, but lacking the necessary two
thirds, failed to pass.
A movement will of course be made
to secure reconsideration Of the bill,
and it is yet hoped that the measure
may become a law.

be quite number of individual dis
appointments as the distribution of
patronage proceeds, | see nothing
ahead that leads me to believe that
this harmony will be seriously dis
turbed during Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration. This Senator declined to
allow the use of his name, because he
has no desire to be accused of giving
President Cleveland "taffy," or of hav-
ing his words construed into bid for
public pap.
The ratification of the Hawaiian all
nexation treaty is now considered
doubtful, so doubtful that Mr. Harri-
sons friends in the Senate are afraid
to have it voted upon, lest it be re-
jected. The Democrats, whit not all
opposed to annexation, are almost to
a man opposed to ratifying this treaty
at this time. Senator Morgan, OF
Alabama, is the only Democratic Sen
ator who has made speech in favor
of immediate annexation, and his
duties as one Of the..Behrng Sea ar
bitrators have called him to Paris. 1t
is the general belief that no vote will
be taken upon the treaty at this ses-
sion. In that case President Cleve-
land may withdraw the treaty and di-
rect that new one be negotiated, if
he favors annexation, or he may send
a message to the Senate recommend
ing the ratification of the present
treaty, if it meets his approval. If
Mr.. Cleveland wishes it, the treaty
will be acted upon by the Senate when
it meets in extra session to act upon
his nomination, etc.
A fight is now on in the House, the
result of which may be to force an
early extra session Of Congress. II
is being waged by the silver men
against the Sherman bond amendment
to the Sundry Civil bill, which the
silver men are determined to defeat
by fillibustering or any other means
at their disposal. If they succeed, an
extra session will have to be called.
Secretary Foster admitted to the
House Ways and Means Committee,
before which he appeared Saturday,
that his recent estimates of treasury
receipts for the coming fiscal year
were already proven to have been too
high, and that his estimates of expen-
ditures were at least $8,000,000 too
low, and that he now regards deficit
for the fiscal year beginning July J.,
1894, as certainty, unless means are
devised to raise additional money,
either by taxation or the issue Of
bonds. His estimates are, of course,
based upon the present tariff law,
which, it is needless to say, will be
considerably changed before July l.,
1894, unless the Democratic Admins
tration and Congress undergo q great
change of mind on the subject, which
is not probable.
Mr.. Harrison is now willing that
bonds shall be issued to increase the
gold balance in the treasury, provided
that Secretary Carlisle will assume
the responsibility by requesting Sec
retary Foster to issue them. The
bonds have been engraved and can
be issued at days notice, but there is
no probability that Secretary Carlisle
will take any such responsibility be-
fore he becomes Secretary Of the
Treasury, and the making ef such a
suggestion by Mr.. Harrison was moth
ing more or less than pleading the
baby act.
Prominent among the bills that will
remain unacted upon at the close Of
the session will be the Nicaragua
canal bill. SENrX.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 3O-The storm has
cut off all railroad communication be-
tween the New Jersey coast resorts and
Philadelphia. The railroad tracks of
the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania
railroad are under four feet of water
between Bay Head and Berkeley. Trouble
is also reported on the same division below

THE NEW BALLOT,

The State Department has sent out
to each board of County Commissioners
in the state sample ballots and blanks
necessary to be used under the amended
ballot law. Under the provisions Of
the ballot law, as amended by the last
Legislature, work of voters at the
coming election will be much less in
tricate than at the last two elections.
The official ballots will, Of course, be
considerably smaller, as but seven
offices are to be filed, but the method
of voting has been simplified very ma
terially and but little excuse remains
for incorrect marking, reason seized
upon in February last for throwing out
many ballots when the count was in
progress.
The voter can now vote a straight
ticket by simply making cross (x) in
a circle placed at the head of each col
umn Of candidates, instead of being
compelled to make his cross after the
party denomination above each group
Of candidates. For instance, at the
last November election the voter voting
astraight ticket was compelled to make
eight crosses, one each above the groups
devoted to Presidential electors, Con-
gress at-Large and Judge Of Supreme
Court, District Congressman, Senators,
Representatives and other county
officers.
In splitting his ticket the voter has
only to make a cross in the square at
the right of the name of each candi-
date voted for, care being taken not to
mark in the circle at the head ofeither
column. The Prohibition candidates
will this year have a column Of their
own and blank column will be pro-
vided on the official ballot in which to
write the names of candidates nomi-
mated by nomination papers or for
whom the voter, for some reason, de-
sires to cast his ballot.
