SYRACUSE, N. Y. Sept. 3. 1896.-The
Wieting Opera House, situated on East
Water Street, was totally destroyed by
fire between two and three o'clock this
morning, and a heap of u.n marks
the spot where last evening stood one
of the prettiest theatres in the country.
The night watchman, who had left the
building but fifteen minutes before the
fire was discovered, detected no smoke. A
quick spoons TO the alarm was made
by the fire department. and they succeed
ed in combining the flames to the Opera
House, which was built separate from the
Wieting Block. and protected by SUBJ
stamtial thick walls. The flames spread
rapidly, and after an hours hard work
were under control. but only the bare
walls of the Opera House were left stand
ing.

is owned by Mrs. j. w. Wieting.
This is the third time that the Wieting
Opera House has been burned. hi first

appeared in this house. The block to
the west of the Opera House was dam
aged by fire and water. The origin is

IRBLAND'S PARLIAMENT
The Delegates at Dublin Work
ing Hard for Union-Eng-
lish Alliances.
Bu Cable to the United Press

DUBLIN, Septs 8, 1s96.-The third days
session of the Irish race convention was
opened today, Rt. Rev. Patrick O'Don-
nell, Bishop of Raphoe, presiding. Michael
Dayitt read messages from societies and
individuals in New York, Queensland and
elsewhere expressing hopes that a COM
plete union of the sections of the Irish
party would be effected.
Dean Harris. of Toronto, protested
against the conduct Of a Dublin newspaper
in describing Chevalier Heney, a Canadian
delegate to the convention. as a COM
panion of LIE Caron, the spy and informer.
(Cheers.)
Canon McCartan supported a resolu-
ton setting forth that it-was the prime
duty of the Irish party to maintain its
absolute Independence of the English and
to preserve its perfect freedom to oppose
anything that the best interests of the
national cause may dispute.
hugh Murphy, of Glasgow, expressed
Guide that John Dillon should remain the
leader of the Irish National party at
home and abroad, with full power to in
sist that the minority must be ruled by
Mr.. Loughlin, of Bradford, held that
as long as there was a Home Rule plank
IN the platform of the Liberal party the
Irish We're bound to support the Liberals.
Canon McCartan declared that there
should not be any alliance that would
have the effect of enslaving the Irish
party.
Michael Davitt denied that there ever
had been any slavish alliance with any
English party.
Rev. Dr.. O'Donnell of Montreal urged
the necessity of complete union Of The
party sections.
Mr.. Costigan, delegate from Ottawa,
sad that the assemblage present gave
assurance that union had been practically
established. He himself, he said, would
take back a message TO Canada declaring
that the convention was a genuine and
representative meeting of the Irish of the
world, convened in regular form and from
the proper quarter. Majority rule, he
declared, must prevail,
proposed an amendment declaring that
the time will come when the Irish Ma
tfonal party win no longer treat with
any English party upon the question of
obtaining Home Rule for Ireland. but
rather the energies of the party will be
devoted to making an English Govern
ment in Ireland impossible until the
British Government have conceded to Ire
land the right of holding parliament of
her own in Dublin.
The motion was not seconded and it
was therefore dropped.
William O'Brien, formerly member of
Parliament for Cork city, predicted that
the convention, would confirm the people
in unstinted confidence in the Irish party,
effacing any man or set of men who
should refuse to stand by the decision
of the convention.

4 HIDEOUS SUICIDE.
Mother and Unborn Babe Ground
to Death By L Road
Wheels.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 1884 woman,
about thirty years old and apparently a
domestic, committed suicide at nine
o'clock this morning by leaping in front
of an elevated railroad train from the
platform of the downtown station at 18th
street and Third avenue.
She was cut to fragments. Shreds Of
the body were strewn along the track
for a distance of sixty feet. a portion
clinging to the wheels of the locomotive
and of the first car of the train.
The suicide is believed to be Maud Err
sicHson, Sne was tWenty-thrse years old
boarded at No. $50 East 136th street.
The woman, who was of medium height
ana quite stout, entered the station about
s;S5 o'clock. She wore a blue and white
shirt waist, a black alpaca skirt and a
sailor hat, and she carried a bundle
wrapped in a newspaper.
A guard rail extends along the platform
of the station, with the usual openings to
admit passengers to the trains, and the
woman took her position at the opening
directly in front of the ladies' waiting
room.
There were only half a dozen people on
the platform, and none of them was near
the woman excepting Philip Miller, a
neWsboy, and another woman who re-
FUSED to give her name.
The woman stood at the opening, with
her feet close to the edge of the platform.
and as the train approached within If
teen feet of the place where she stood
she laid her bundle on the platform. and
bending over, with a piercing shrek flung
herself upon the track.
The woman who had stood beside her
also shr1eked, and the Mortified engineer
put on the brakes to their full force and
reversed his engine in the hope of check
ing the speed of the train in time to
avoid running over the woman. But his
efTorts were of no avail, as the momen-
tum OF the train carried it along and in
a moment the body of the woman was
crushed beneath the wheels of the engine.
me engine passed entirely over the
body, and the front wheels and truck Of
the first passenger car picked it up and
carried it a distance of 60 feet. A nor
ton of the trunk, with part of the head
attached, still chung to the truck of the
passenger car when the train was
brought to a full stop.
standing directly below the spot where
the woman fell on the track were Robert
Dali. inspector of the 12Jth street csh1e
road, and Dennis Fleming ard Charles A
Bates, employees of the Third avenue ca
BILE road.
They distinctly heard the shrek of the
Woman and, looking up, saw something
falling. All jumped 10 avoid it, but Il
struck Bates on the right shoulder and
ornded off INTO the street. 1t was the
Body OF a newly born child.
At first they thought that the BODY had
been thrown from a train by some person
Who had taken that means to get rid OF
It, but soon a pale faced man came down
from the station and told them of the
scene that had been enacted on the
track above.

THREE ATTEMPTS AT BURNING
Eastman Beef Company the Victims
of an Incendfary.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 1s96.-Three at
teInpts were made to burn the Eastman
Beef Company's plant. extending from
Fifty-ninth to Sixtieth streets, near
Eleventh avenue, last night. A fourth
incendiary fire ruined the house of one
of the company's employees.
John Mcclure, a stableman, was pass
ing through the stable, in which eighty
horses are quartered, at eight o'clock,
when he discovered a Ere burning in one
OF the stalls. He turned in an alarm,
and the hremen responding soon extin-
guished the blaze. While working on the
fire that Mcclure had discovered the fire.
men found another small fire in q stall
some distance away from the first, but
it, too, was easily got under control.
There was no direct communication be-
tween the two stalls, and the firemen
decided that the fires had been kindled
independently of each other. Both we're
burning freely when discovered and would
have spread through the entire stable in
a short time.
The firemen had been gone from the
premises about an hour when John Hahn
a roundsman, whose business it is to see
that all is well bout the stables, noticed
an odor of burning hay or straw. He
ran upstairs to the hayloft, after ind
ing no fire in the stable proper, and there
found several fires kindled in the hay.
For the second time the lrenen We're
summoned and, as before, they extin-
guished the flames before they had time
TO spread or do any great damage.
A thorough search of the stables was
made after the second fire. It was found
that the door opening from the hayloft
into the street had been forced open. and
il is supposed that whoever started the
fires escaped through this door, jumping
down to the pavement, a distance of
about Is feet.
The Eastman Company had some trouble
with its employees about eight months ago.
and since that time has had a strike on
its hands. The strikers have more than
once assaulted the men who took their
places, and repeatedly they nave caused
the company nue. ~onyan
Battalion Chief BENJAMIN Gieuuel is
satisfied that all the fires were incendiary,
and has notified Fire Marshal HOLSTER
to that effect. Police Captain Thomas
has also ordered four detectives to make
an investigation of the fires.

to come from a small group In front OF
sthe platform.
/ mingled with the farmers. listening
to their discussions and talked with some
of them upon the subject. There were
several emissaries of the silver men on,
the ground and they gathered little
groups about them at whom they fired
their arguments. Their listeners for the
most part received what they said in that
silence which denotes opposition There
were a few who acquiesced in what the
agitators said. while a few others dis,
puted with them and openly declared
themselves in favor of sound money. but
the great majority listened and said noth-
ing.
| asked Dominic 0pdyke if there was
much silver among the Somerset farmers.
He said yes, there was some.
"As much as in Hunterdon?" asked
We'll. no" replied the Dominic thought
fully, as he stroked his long gray whisk-
ers. IT can't say that there is. The fact
is I don't know the situation in Somerset
as well as / do in Hunterdon.''.
Several of the farmers with whom j
spoke practically said the same thing
that there was some silver sentiment in
the county, but that the detection of gold
Democrats would offset it on election day.
