WASHINGTON. February 2s.-Postmas-
ter General Bissell set at rest all doubt
as TO his purpose of remaining in the
cabinet by rendering his resignation to
President Cleveland yesterday after
noon. This action was not taken has
tily. AS far back as the early autumn,
Mr.. Bissell felt that his law practice at
Buffalo required his personal attention
and at that time he notified the presi-
dent that sooner or later he would be
compelled to retire to private life.
Nothing further passed between the
two gentlemen with reference to the
matter until ten days ago when Mr..
Bissell again assured the president that
he must soon resign his portfolio.
The letter of resignation is said to
have been briet and to have been
couched in the usual formal terms. 1t
recites the fact that he deems it advis-
able to retire from the ca abinet and that
he will do so upon the appointment
and qualification of his successor. The
letter was written by the Postmaster
General at the close of office hours yes
terday and was by him personally
handed to his chief, little after five
o'clock
Mr.. Bissell said last night:
Il have placed my resignation in the hands
Ct the president. The reason is that my pro-
fessional work at hoHe demands my attention
and feel that cannot longer remain away
from it.
The business Of the department is in good
condition and its transfer to my successor can
be made without affecting the public service

times quite onerous. l confess l leave it with

Terrible Injuries of Seven Men at Mouth
of Blast Furnace.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 23.-Seven men
were terribly burned Monday morning
while at work on the top of Schoen-
berger's blast furnace, at Etna and
18th streets. The damage to the fur
mace is slight, but the accident was
most exciting, all of the men having
had II narrow escape from cremation.
The injured who We're taken to the
West Pennsylvania hospital are:
Phillip Bowman (coloreD, Frederick
Lear, Michael Kelly, William Mooney,
Joseph Rodman, Anthony McNally
and David Scott.
The furnace had been closed several
days. Sunday the fires were relighted
and the furnace charged. Monday
morning the men were completing re-
pairs at the top of the furnace stack,
rs feet above the ground, when without
warning the bell lifted and huge
volume of burning gas enshrouded the
top of the structure and the workmen.
Worltmen on the ground ran to the ele-
vator and when they reached the top
pitiful sight met their gaze. Almost
every Ncstige of clothing had been
burned from the bodies of their fellow
workmen. Bowman and Lear had in
hailed the flames as well rs being terri
bly, burned about their bodies. All
were quickly lowered to the ground and
aid summoned. Lear and Bowman and
Mooney are thought to be fatally
burned. Kelly is also in n precarious
condition. The others will probably

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Dec. 23.-Ed-
ward Rurau, Jr., and Miss Emma Mox
were killed Saturday night in most
distressing manner. Miss Mox was a
domestic in Eurau's family, on farm
about IL miles from here. She went to
a dance near Carlisle station.
About midnight it was apparent that
Burau's wife was to be confined, so he
went after Miss Mox, and to tell his
brother to go for a physician. He got

were going, and then died. Burau
lived three hours, but never regained
consciousness. Burau, who formerly
lived at Osseo, was 25 years old, and
leaves wife and three children. Mis-.
MoY was II wears old.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Such Was the Sad Fate OF Gale

The Third Floor of the Palace Clothing
House ut Minneapolis Falls Through

Minneapolis, Dec. 2S.-Just before
IL o'clock Saturday morning pedes.
trians on Nicollet avenue; between
Third and Fourth streets, were startled
by a mighty crash. Immediately sew.

Three entire floors had fallen within
the building, and the immense heap OF

ing to his death Gale Walters, head
clerk of the hat department Osca,
Holder was also caught by the falling
mass, and was at first thought to be
dead. In an hour, after valient work
by the fire department and police, as.
sisted by the employees of the firm, Wal
ters' body was gotten out. Death must
have been instantaneous.
Holder was caught on the outskirts
of the mass of debris, and after lying
in dazed condition for few moments
he crawled out alive and uninjured,
with the exception of one or two pain.
full bruises. HIS escape and that OF
Jacob Sichcr, was miraculous.
The byron & Willard Printing com.
pany occupied the fourth floor. AL.
though this floor is weighted down
with heavy machinery, it did not
crash down with the others.
The second floor was occupied by the
Leigh Photographic Company; the
third floor and half floor intervening
by the A. II. Ranney Wall Paper Com
pany.
The disaster is said to been caused
by the overlooking of the floors above,
although the matter has not vet been
investigated.
The crush came at time when
were but few people in the store. A
half hour later would have seen per-
haps dozens of people under the spot
where the tons of stuff came down.
Gale Walters was the head of the hat
department. Just as the hands of the
clock reached 10 minutes to 12, Walters
pulled out his watch and said to the
clerks in the department: boys. you
had better go out to lunch now and get
back early" He was in the act of put
ting his watch in his vest pocket when,
WltnOut SECONDS warning, the floors
above him went down with horrible
crash.
sicher and Holder had already start
ed for their coats, on being told by the
unfortunate Walters to go to their
lunches. This fact was all that saved
their lives. Sicher had gone perhaps
ten feet and Holder not more than
seven feet when the crash came.
The former was thrown against a
table, but escaped with bruises. Hol-
der was caught by the flying debris and
thrown to the floor. He lay there for
several moments in a dazed condition.
HIS name and that of Walters were
shouted repeatedly by the other clerks,
and as no answer was given it was sup
posed for some time that both men
were dead.
