JAMES c. JoHNsoN's HOUSE BURNED.

JAMES c. JOHNSON'S HOUSE BURNED.
People in the Center were Mortified,
Monday afternoon, when Stiles NJ.
Clarke drove furiOusly up to the store
exclaiming in great excitement, that
James Johnson's house was in flames.
Jump in" Several did and they drove
over quickly and found many others as
sisting. Some of the furniture on the
lower floor of the new part was saved
and some silver, but nothing up stairs.
The upper part was in flames when dis
covered. The house was fine one. A
large new addition had been built since
last fall and the older part remodeIled to
correspond, making it one of the finest
mansions in miles. Money had not been
spared outside or within. The last brush
full of paint had just been put on, and
MerWin johnson and wife were to move
in on Wednesday. Mr. Johnson's p lpere,
and we understand about $500 inmoney
were burned; also valuable iewelrY.
Merwin Johnson's hands were badly
burned. We understand the house was
insured. Some say the fire origina' ed in
an upper room where the remnants of
wall papers had been put, but it does not
seem as if the day was warm enough for
spontaneous combustion. It is, however,
a mystery.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 10.-The Com
mercial Gazette tomorrow will print the
nrst of series of articles from sup
porters of the Republican presidential
candidates. 1t is from Senator Chand-
Ter, of New Hampshire. manager for
Reed. He says that New England is
solid for Reed and that he is New
York s second choice. He expresses the
belief that had New England been solid
for Blaine in one of the conventions of
1876, 1880 or 1884, he would have been
president New Englanders now see
their mistake and do not mean to re-
peat it. Reeds supporters believe his
positive strength and courage should
not be an obstacle to his nomination.
as these are qualities needed at present
in this republic, which has so many
grave questions on its hands for solu-
ton. As to political faith, there is
very little difficulty between the va
rlouS candidates. Reed is with the
great majority of his party on the Mon

so that gold and silver admitted to un-
united coinage at an agreed ratio, shall
together constitute the standard money

FREE GOVERNMENT.
Congratulations From America to
the TransvnaI Republic.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--Senator
Morgan, the former chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, offered
the following resolution in the senate
today, and it was referred to the for
eign relations committee:
Resolved, That the people Of the
United States, through their represent
atives in congress assembled, convey to
the president and the people of the re-
public of Transvaal their earnest con-
gratulations upon their success in estab-
fishing free representative government,
republican in form, and in their oppo-
sition to any foreign power that denies
to them the full enjoyment of their
rightful liberties. The people of Amer
lea, having realized through the favor
OF the God of nations the blessings OF
government based upon the consent Of
the governed, entertain with confidence
the pleasing hope and belief that the
principles of elf-government will be
securely established through the influ-
ence of the republic of France in her
colonies, and the republics of Liberia
and the Transvaal, founded by the peo-
pie of Africa and that those republics
will foster and give firm support to the
peaceful progress of Christian civiliza-
ton in the new and vast field now being
opened to the commerce and institu-
tons of all the nations of the earth
throughout that great continent
resolved, That the president of the
United States is requested to con1nuni-
cate this action of congress to the presi-
dent of the Transvaal republic"

SITUATION IN VENEZUELA MAY
CAUSE CONFLICT At ANY
MOMENT.
AMERICA WOULD BE INVOLVED.
CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON SAYS
WE WOULD HAVE TO
FIGHT.
BRITISH TROOPS ARE MOVING.
They Are Occupying OutpOsts on
the Frontier, Notwithstanding
Official Denials.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A special to the
Journal from Washington says: The
report that the British are strengthen
ing their outposts in Venezuela and
advancing into Venezuela is true. L
have myself received today a private
dispatch from there corroborating it,"
So said Congressman Livingston, of
Georgia, this afternoon. He added:
II cannot show you the dispatch. 1t
is private. You can, however, rely on
it. 1 called on the Venezuelan min
lister this morning and asked him to
use his influence with Crespo to keep
back Venezuelan troops. Should they
advance it would precipitate a conflict
at once. That would render our We
nezuela commission useless. We would
be compelled to back up Venezuela
and we would be plunged into war
at once"
You nave seen the denial of the
statement by the British colonial Of
fice?"
"Yes, but the statement is true new
| ertheless. Unless Great Britain recalls
her troops and reduces the outposts
to their former strength, Crespo would
be compelled to go to war to prevent
revolution. My resolution yesterday
was not, as Boutelle thought, war
| resolution. 1t was a peace resolution,
by calling on President Cleveland to
investigate the report, and if true to
demand that Great Britain undo what
| she has done. Should Great Britain
refuse war would result. But I don't
think she would refuse. Chairman
Hit promises to have my resolution
considered Immediately. I have sug-
gested that, if he likes, he amend it
by inserting clause calling on Presi-
dent Crespo to hold back his troops
and so avoid conflict or trouble of any
kind with Great Britain till the pres
ent situation be set right and our com
mission has made it's report

TERRIBLE FATE OF sEAMEN
WHOSE STEAMER WAS
WRECKED.
COLD WEATHER KILLED NINE.
NINE OTHERS REACH LAND AFTER
FOUR DAYS OF SUI
FERING.
DRIVEN TO SEA BY HEAVY GALES.
Captain of the Ealing and Eight of
His Mates Unable to Live
Through the Cold.

HALIFAX, N. s., Jan. 10.-The suffer-
ings of the nine survivors of the crew
of the Inflated steamer Ealing, during
the four days they were in an open
beat exposed to gales and bitterly cold
temperature is almost indescribable.
When their boat landed at Canso this
afternoon they were nearly all in a
helpless condition. The names of the
survivors are: Thomas Cardigan, of
Wales, second officer, badly frozen;
Fred Lingreen, Swede, boatswain, feet
frozen; Noah Grugger, of Newfound-
land, feet frozen: Edward Wilkinson,
Great Yarmouth, Eng, badly frozen
and not likely to recover; John Peter
son, Denmark; James Baker, New
foundland; Henry Noble, Belfast; F. E.
Stevenson, Portland, Eng; William Ha-
gar, London, an apprentice boy, four
teen years old, badly frozen. Only one
man could walk when the boat landed,
the rest being carried to neighboring
houses and cared for.
The men state that Ealing struck a
rock about p. m. Monday in a dense
vapor, while going at quarter speed
Half an hour afterwards it was neces-
sary to take the boats, as the ship was
settling fast and the sea was heavy
They were driven fifty miles to sea
Soon after daylight on Tuesday two of
the men succumbed to the exposure
During Tuesday night Capt. Meek and
fireman named Wilson died. Yester-
day morning the first engineer died
and later in the day three others ex-
pired. Today at noon, as the men
caught sight of land, the ninth of their
crew, an apprentice named Gilroy. died
They were all consigned to the sea as
they died, to keep the heavily-iced
boat from sinking.
