bradley For PresItlent,

For some time Gov. Bradley has
been losing sleep at night trying to
decide whether to run for Senator,
Vice-President or President. At a
Convention of leading Republicans
held at Frankfort Wednesday, the
Governor was assisted in arriving at
a conclusion. He finally decided
that he would do the Caesar act and
put the Senatorial crown, or toga as
the case may be, from him and let
the other fellows scramble for that
plum. He further concluded that
the Vice-Presidency was too small
for him and that he would rather be
Governor than take second place
The "Mud Noses" after a thorough
consideration of the matter, consen6e
to accept the nomination for Presi-
dent, however, and the edict has gone
forth. Billy will cross swords with
Mckinley, Reed and Harrison. Lord
how our Bill has growed! 1t is true he
was assisted in launching his boom
by Convention of those with axes
to grind, and who think Bradley will
turn the grind-stone better when his
'funny bone" is tickled with a little
fattery that costs them nothing. The
poor old woodcock has not yet been
heard from on the subject.

The Free wateriug PLACES.

The FIVE public watering places
have been located by the council.
The troughs are to be placed as fol-
lows; Corner of Fourth and Main;
First and Campbell; Eighth and
Clay; Thirteenth and Clay; Seventh
near Tabernacle. A public fountain
at the city's expense will be erected
near the court house. 1t is supposed
the $4,000 left to the city by Mrs.
Roach, to erect fountain, can now
be claimed by the city. The court of
appeals held that the bequest could
not be expended in providing water
supply, but must be used for the cree
ton Of the fountain itself. Judge j. L.
Landes the Executor of Mrs. Roach's
estate still holds the money, but it is
said he is willing to pay it over for
the erection of fountain. The city
probably has an understanding with
Judge Lande',

4 TERRIBLE MINE DISASTER
OCCURS IN THE STATE OF CHI
HUAHUA, MEXICO.
Sixty-Seven Persons Entombed-
Seven Bodies Recovered and
rlany Injured Rescued.

CHIHUAHUA CMexico), April 25.-
The most terrible mining disaster that
has ever occurred in Northern Mexico
happened Thursday afternoon at the
Vieja mine, about twelve miles from
this city, in the Santa Eulalia District
liza mine.
+. K. Prieto, the owner, urged the
miners, who are Mexicans, to continue
removing the pillars, in spite of pro-
tests, it is said, and the terrible acci-
dent resulted. Over 125 men were at
work when the cavern occurred. OF
these eighteen escaped, siNty-seven
were buried, and of these thirty-seven
have been taken out, seven of whom are
dead and thirty seriously crushed, and
many will not live. There is very lit
tie chance of recovering alive the thirty
men yet under the earth The Gov
ernor left here to-day for the scene.
The mine has in it over 300 miles of
drift and shaft, and it is said to have
produced over $2,OOO,O0O,OOO worth of
silver. About 1879 it was sold to an
Eastern company, of which John Rob
inson of Boston was President
The Mexicans, instead Of timbering
the mine, had left immense columns of
native ore to support the roof and wall
work. The Eastern men counted upon
the value of these columns, and pro-
ceeded to timber the mine and remove
the columns of ore

Despite the official reports from Nice
that the Queen is enjoying her usual
health, the highest social circle hears
that her feebleness has so increased
that she will be unable to carry out her
intention to hold a wingroom in

ceremonial function during the present
season.

Carleton, asserts that the Salvation

SENATE pROCEEDINCS


WASHINGTON, April 25.-The SEN
ate made very brief work of the sundry
civil appropriation bill, having taken
only two days in disposing of it. When
it passed the House it carried appropri-
ations aggregating S3O,000,00O. The
Senate Appropriations Committee re-
ported it back with an addition of So
0O,OOO, largely made up of sums neces-
sary to carry on work on public build
ings and river and harbor improve
ments and United States Courts for the
whole twelve months of the year in
stead of six or nine months, as provided
for by the House. The bill as it passed
to-day appropriates in round figures
S31 100000. There was little friction in
the consideration of the bill.
Before it was taken up an effort was
made by Sherman Of Ohio to have action
taken on the House bill relative to dis
tillation of fruit brandy, so as to have
engrafted upon it a provision for the re-
peal of that section of the tariff law
which allows a drawback of the tax
paid on alcohol used in the arts and in
medicine. That section was put in the
Wilson bill while it was pending in the
oCIdlC, Will lHe UNDERSTANDING lndl II
would be thrown out in conference but
owing to circumstances the bill that be-
came law was not the report of a con-
ference committee, and so the alcohol
provision was embodied in the present
tariff
Sherman explained that ewing to the
action of the Treasury Department the
drawback was not operative, but that
claims running into the millions were
being piled up, and it was therefore
highly important that the provisions
should be repealed before the adjourn
ment of Congress.
He met, however, the combined oppo-
sitfon of Senators on his own side, only
three of them voting with him to take
up the bill, and those votes were offset
by the opposing votes OF three Populists
All the Democrats but three voted for
Sherman's motion. TIE result was yeas

At $40 O'Clock the Senate adjourned
until Monday.

A PRIEST MARRIED.
EIOpes With and Weds a Pennsyl-
Vania Girl.

PITTSBURG, April 25-Investigation
into the disappearance of George Fran
els Dillon, a well-known Catholic clergy
man, and Miss Rosa Donovan, both OF
Braddock, develops the fact that they
were married at the Windsor Hotel
Cumberland, Md, November 10Th last,
by the Rev. j. c. Nicholson, pastor of
the Cumberland Episcopal Church AT
that time the contracting couple gave
their residences as Philadelphia, ac-
cording to the certificates. Where the
bride and groom now live is unknown
to their nearest friends.
Father Dillon was stationed for a
short time at Altoona. Miss Donovan,
% years old, was cashier for the West
ern Union Telegraph Company at
Braddock Gossip resulted in an in
vestigation, and Father Dillon was
transferred to a parish in Pittsburg.
He continued daily visits to Braddock
Coming home late at night about the
first Of this month, Father Dillon found
himself locked aut. He forced an en-
trance, and arousing Father Bigham
threatened him with severe punishment
if he was again locked out. Four days
later Dillon was removed to Versy Hos
pital and placed in private apartment
as an insane person. He was an exces-
sive cigarette smoker, and while con-
fined at the institution made several at
tempts to escape.
Report of his Incarceration reached
Miss Donovan, or rather Mrs. Dillon. SO
on April 18TH armed with her marriag
certificate, she came to Pittsburg, en-
gagged Attorney E. B. Scull and a de-
tective, endeavoring to secure Dillon's
release.
Rev. Father E. A. Bush of ST Peters,
Allegheny, was seen, and ordered, as
Vicar General of the diocese, to issue
mandatory note that would secure
Dillon's release. The sub-prelate first
refused, but when threatened with legal
action gave in, issuing the desired or
der. This resulted in Dillon's being re-
leased, and in company with his wife he
repaired to a hotel, where they remained
over night. Next day she returned to
Braddock, and on Saturday last she re-
signed from the service of the Western
Union Company, since which time
neither she nor her husband have been
seen. Her mother denies the story OF
the marriage, and none of the local
clergy will talk of Dillon's affair, save
to say that he is i'll with a nervous dis
ease.

DOINGs IN CONGRESS.
Yesterdays Proceedings in the House
and Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 2o.-The Sec
ond conference report upon the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill was made to the House to-
day and agreed to, another conference
being ordered upon the remaining mat
ters in dispute. The principal subject
settled upon by the report made to-
day was that fixing the salaries of the
United States District Attorneys and
Marshals. As agreed upon, the total of
salaries of attorneys carried in the bill
as it passed the House was increased
S23. 900 and that of the Marshals in
creased 81, 800.
An animated and unexpected Incl
dent was precipitated IN connection
with this report. Grosvenor of Ohio in
quired respecting a provision proh;5-
iting the Legislature of Oklahoma
from considering any opposition to re-
locate the Capital of the Territory Be
ing informed that that had already
been agreed upon by both houses, Gros-
venor declared that lit ought to de-
stroy any man a party to it,"
This brought Flynn, Delegate from
Oklahoma, TO his feet, with the state
ment that a similar provision had been
contained in every instance in obedi-
ence to the almost universal demand
OF the people for protection against a
repetition of scandalous scenes enacted
In the first meeting of the Legislature.
The gentleman from Ohio, he assumed.
must be ranking under the recollection
of other matters. or he would not have
MADE that onslaught
Grosvenor repelled the suggestion,
saying he did not know what the enor-
mously distinguished gentleman from
Oklahoma meant by those words. He
had but done his duty, and the bonn
bastes furioso performance made no
impression upon him
The general pension bill was further
discussed for a couple of hours by Gros-
venor and Kerr (Rep) of Ohio in sup
port OF 1t, and by Bartlett Dem) of

Charred Timbers and Crumbling Walls
Mark the Sites
Where Heretofore Were the Best
Blocks of the TOwn-A Million
Dollars Considered to be COnSer-
vative Estimate of the Losses,
While the Insurance Will Not Ex-
ceed Quarter of That Sum.

CRIPPLE CREEK (Col), April %
The main portion of the business sec
ton of the city is in ashes tonight.
Charred timbers and crumbling walls
now mark the sites of what were the
best business blocks in town. one
million dollars is considered by some
to be a conservative estimate of the
damage, while others place the loss as
high as 100000. AS nearly as can
be ascertained at a late hour tonight
the insurance will not exceed 1000.
AT 1 o'clock this afternoon fire broke
out in Carey's secondhand store. The
frenen responded quickly, and the
blaze was not thought to be serious,
but a sudden change in the wind oc-
Cured and the flames quickly spread
to adjoining buildings. Then it was
conceded that half dozen buildings
on the corner of Meyer and Third
streets would be destroyed, and the
occupants made hasty preparation for
the removal of their goods to places of
safety.
Every moment added fury TO the
flames, and as they spread rapidly
from house to house the crowd begin
to realize that an enormous confiagra-
vehicle in town was pressed into serv-
ice by merchants anxious to save the
contents of their stores and great con-
fusion ensued, during which number
of casualties occurred from runaway
teams. The merchants were not sue
cessful in removing their goods, the
flames spreading with such rapidity
that not more than one-tenth of their
wares We're saved.
When the Postoffice caught fire it be-
came evident that desperate measures
should be adopted to stop the spread
of the flames and the water supply be-
ing poor the firemen decided to resort
to the use of dynamite and number Of
buildings were thus sacrificed before
the fire reached them. During the pro-
gress of the explosions a fireman. whose
name cannot be learned, was probably
fatally injured by having one OF his
legs blown off.
Late this evening the fire was finally
got under control, after ii had destroy
ed the entire district surrounded by
Warren, Eaton, Third and Fourth
streets, comprising four blocks The
buildings included in the burned dis
trict arc the First National Bank, the
Gold Stock Exchange. the Postoffce,
the Topic and Central Theaters, the
City Jail, several large rooming houses
and hotels
1t is reported that all of the mails in
the Postoffice were destroyed. Great
excitement prevailed at the City Jail,
and as prisoners could not be cared for
elsewhere. Marshal Jim Marshall threw
open the doors and released all the
prisoners.
Telegraph and telephone service was
for a time completely suspended, but
both the Western and Postal companies
opened up offices in the outskirts of the
city, and tonight communication as
partially restored. Many people lost
everything they had. Those who are
not affected have offered shelter 10 the
homeless, of whom there are several
hundred.
The burned district will be rebuilt

GIVEN AN OVATION.

Congressman McCleary stirred up a
great deal of enthusiasm at the Re-
publican League meeting this week
at Milwaukee, and is said to have
made the greatest speech before that
body. He was given an ovation such
as was accorded to no other speaker
before the League. The Chicago
ISnaes-Herdtd refers to his appearance
before the League in the most glow
ing terms, and says:
"The first day of business was closed
with every delegate shouting applause
for Congressman J. T. McCleary, of
Minnesota, who had put into concise,
forceful, convincing language all their
concordant ideas on the political is
sues of the year. \ The dele
gates to this convention will go away
from here singing the praises of Con-
gresham McCleary as new star
among Republican consultations. He
came before the convention new to a
majority of the delegates. He eX-
hibited to them none of the graces of
the orator who engages his audience
by the fieurescence Of his diction and
the brilliancy of his figures of speech.
He appealed to them as a campaign
speaker, peculiarly adapted to the
exigencies of the present campaign.
'On the money question he talked
business in business-like way His
diction, though monumental, was
faultless. His manner was dis
tinctively conversational, and there
fore convincing. His argument was
limpidly logical, and was adorned. not
by high-sounding metaphors, but by
the plain illustrations of everyday
life which so appeal to the under
standings and to the hearts of all
people. The current of his address
was like mighty river, broad, deep,
placid, but Irresistible, and charming
to the senses in it's clear, cool SIM
plicity.
"Mr. McCleary handled the issues
of the present political year as the
delegates would have them handled.
He discussed the money question as a
business proposition, and showed that
the Republican party was not con-
cerned, except as the conservator of
national honor and integrity and
sound principles of administration,
with any phase of it. Then he turned
swiftly to the essentially Republican
doctrines OF protection and reciprocity
and in clear-cut sentences demon
strated that what the nation needs is
to get back where Republicanism
once put it. Xxx
