Thinks Poster a Winner.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-Lieut.
Governor Jeffries, who has been in
Washington for several days, is
now in the city. A reporter hap
pened upon Governor Jeffries last
night and quizzed him about the
state of affairs in his section of the
state.
Really" replied the affable gen.
tleman, IL would like to have
something to tell you, but my alb
sence and press of business during
my stay in Washington has sort
of left me on the outside Of current
events. In conversation with a
number of gentlemen, however, l
gather that no combination can
materially affect Governor Fosters
position."

Steamer FoYle Floated.

NEW YORK, Jan. 800 :55 a. m.
The British steamship Foyle,
which went ashore on Shrewsbury
shoals Tuesday morning, has just
been fioated and will be lowed to
this city. The wind is strong and
it is quite possible that the st.
Paul will be also f1oated this morn
ing.
New YORK, Jan. 80, 1850 a. m.
No effort to float the steamer St.
Paul was made last night, or this
morning and there is no change in
her position, all cargo being of and
a number of deck fittings have
been removed to tighten the
steamer. She is now as light as
can be made and the probabilities
are that nothing further can be
done until there is strong easter
ly wind and a high tide.

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION.
FEARFUL DESTRUCTION OF LIFE
AND PROPERTY.
Boiler Thrown 800 Feet High and Ar
tifcial Earthquake Produced,

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 3O.-A dis
patch from Holidaysburg, Penn
sylvania, reports boiler explosion
this morning in the rolling mill
of the Holidaysburg Iron and Nail
company. Four men were killed
and twenty injured.
HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa, Jan. 3d.
Five persons were killed and
nearly a score injured, some fatally,
by the explosion OF 30-inch cyl
inder boiler in the Hollidaysburg
Iron Works this morning. The
names OF the dead and injured:
Dead: Geo. Lane, crushed into
a lifeless mass under the boiler ;
Con Evans, fractured skull;
Merrill Treese, boy, head ground
of by the fly wheel two unknown
tramps, who had been lying near
the furnace; bnried in the ruins.
Wounded: Samuel Kepphart,
scalded about face and body, will
die; Robert McMurray, scslded
about face and body, will die;
Frank Cranes, superintendent of
mill, several ribs broken and head
cut; Sam. Marks, severely scalded |;
John Woomer, scalded and hip
broken, may die; Finley Ferguson,
severely scslded George Moore, in
ternally injured David McClos-
key, boss OF the nail department,
badly injured about body; Mar
shall Weir, spine badly injured,
may die John Heffner, cut in head,
may die; George Rock, cut about
head; Robert Marks, wrist and
ankle broken, internal injuries,
may die; Daniel Ounkst, internal
injuries; William Harris, severe
bodily injuries; Dan Ayers, badly
injured about body. ....
The only employees uninjured
were the engineer and fireman.
The boiler was blown through the
roof of the works, 800 feet in the
air, and came SAILING down like a
spent rocket, crashing through the
roof in another department. The
entire roof was precipitated to the
floor below by the force of the ex-
plosion, and the works were prac.
tically wrecked. The explosion
was sufficient to rock the earth
with the force of an earthquake
and broke hundreds OF windows at
a distance Of quarter Of mile
from the mill. All the local physi-
clans were called to the works to
take care of the wounded. There
was the greatest excitement around
the wrecked building, and families
of the wounded were frantic with
grief.
AS soon as the bodies of the dead
could be COTTON together Coroner
Fuos impannelled a jury. After
viewing the wreck the jury adj
journed until this evening.
No explanation is offered as to
the cause Of the explosion. Some
employees cay they were short OF
steam before the accident.

Murdered in His Office.

BRENNAN, Tex, Jan. 30.-Thos.
Dwyer, reputed the richest man in
this county, was foul]y murdered
in his Office in the city last even
ing. Not coming to supper at his
usual hour, he was sent for. The
messenger found the safe blown
open and traces of blood leading to
an old cistern. This was examined
and the body of Mr.. Dwyer found,
beaten to jelly. He had received
a large amount of money, and as
he was his own banker, the MUIR
derers doubtless knowing of that
fact, killed him for his cash. The
county is aroused and a lynching
will follow II the murderers are
caught.

A Theosophiat Cremation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-The Theoso-
phists met yesterday in Graceland
cemetery and watched the crema-
ton of the remains of Miss Meri
Topolius. Instead of the scene be-
ing sad one, the general feeling,
which pervaded the assemblage,
was one of calm rejoicing, partaken
of even by the nearest and dearest
friends of the girl, who had died.
Instead of tears there were songs,
music, flowers and addresses of
cheerful strain and noticeable
absence of the usual emblems of
death. Theosophists do not look on
death as others do, hence the re-
markably cheerful scene.

What Russia Thinks,

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-A dispatch
to the Herald from st. Petersburg
says: The Novo Vremya pub
fishes the following dispatch from
Vladivostock:
"News comes from Yokohama
that the English squadron in the
Pacific is being augmented by six
war ships. At the same time con-
siderable increase is being made in
the japanese navy.
england and Japan are evident
ly preparing theoretically to meet
possible complications arising out
Of the Corean and Russia-Chinese
understanding"
The Novosti says on the subject
of the alleged Russo-Turkish
treaty:
"Russia can guarantee the exist
ence OF Turkey only il reform, such
as the opening of the Dardanelles
to Russian warships, be offered. 1t
is impossible to adduce any paid
reason why Russia should be forced
to lock up her fleet in the Black
sea. 1t is simply policy of out
rageous violence to which Russia
submits, because she loves peace,
but the prohibition is bound to dis
appear"

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-A letter to
the Herald from Caracas, Vene-
zuela, dated January 20, says:
Venezuelans are still discussing
the news from the frontier, to the
effect that the British soldiers have
reinforced the post on the bound
airy by sending 100 men and two
common. The news came here by
way of Trinidad, and although
there is no positive way to verify
it, there is every reason to believe
that it is true. Local patriots are
anxious to have their own frontier
armed, and in the event Of war, to
take the aggressive rather than to
try to prevent an English invasion.
The president is not, however,
sitting calmly by and waiting to
be attacked. He is taking every
possible means to ferret out his
enemies, and when he finds them,
to punish them. He wants to keep
the country in peace by locking up
those who are trying to incite re-
bellion, and keeping the means Of
doing harm as far from them as he
can. Mails are carefully watched,
and suspicious correspondence is
seized and examined. The mail
that carries this letter will take to
the United States an order for a
half dozen steam yachts for gov
eminent use. They will be used
for work on the coast and on the
Orinocco river and will be armed
with rapid firing guns.
The German claim remains I'M
settled and it is generally believed
here that the government OF Ger
many has written note to Vene-
zuela demanding prompt payment.
The difficulty arises through the
guarantee of the payment Of per
cent interest on bonds of railroad
between this city and Valencia,
constructed by Germany. The
question of watered stock enters
into the controversy. Rumors that
gunboats would be sent down here
to seize the custom houses have
been current for three months.
There Is every reason to believe
that the difficulty will be settled
quietly. Senior Bruzual Sierra, for
many years counsel for the rail-
road, was placed in correspondence
with the new cabinet presumably
for the purpose Of adjusting mat
ters and it is said that he will re-
sign as soon as he has decided, as
his private law practice is far more
profitable than his salary as a
cabinet officer. / hear that an Of
fer Of settlement has been made
and that the terms were agreed
upon when another complication
arose.

A Sensational Suit,

PITTsBURG, Jan. 30.-Mrs. NJ. A.
Cohen, formerly in business for her.
self in New York, but recently
living In fashionable East End,
this city,. has entered suit for
breach of promise against Col.
Dyer, president of the Kanawaha
Oil company, asking for $4,000
damages. Col. Dyer is a bachelor
60 years old and one OF the most
prominent oil producers of Pitts
burg. He is a native OF Portland,
Me-, and a member OF prominent
family in that city. Two months
ago the colonel became sick in
Mrs. Cohen's house and when the
news reached his relatives in Port
land they came and had him
forcibly removed to a hospital
where the plaintiff was not per-
mitted to see him. The summons
was served on the defendant at
the hospital last night, where he
was found in company with his
nephew and niece. The suit has
ca used a sensation in both bust
ess and social circles.

BANTAM AND FEATHER WEIGHT.
Several Four-Round set-tos At Madison
Garden.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-'Pedlar"
Palmer, the champion bantam
weight boxer of England, and
George Dixon, the feather weight
champion of the world, will meet
at Madison garden tonight in a
six round bout for decision. The
interest which this international
bout has created arises from the
fact that Billy Plimmer who held
the title of champion bantam of
the world, got the decision over
Dixon in a four round bout at the
garden, and was recently defeated
by Palmer, who was comparative
ly unknown on this side of the
Atlantic at the time.
There are many Shrewd judges
who think Palmer will win. They
claim that Palmer is right in his
prime now while Dixon has gone
back, and no matter how hard he
trains he cannot get in as good
condition as he was when he met
Plimmer. Although Palmer is a
bantam and Dixon a feather
weight there will only be a pound
or two difference in their weights
tonight. r..
"Naxey" Moore of the New York
Athletic club will be the referee in
the contest. The bouts will be put
as follows: Billy Mcdonald VS..
Jimmy Hoey, Sammy Meyers VS..
Charley Patterson, Joe Elms VS..
Jack Mickey, Casper Leon VS..
IGeorge Justus, Jim Brady of
Brooklyn VS.. George Bernstein of
New York, Sam Bolan VS.. I'M
known Jack Curley VS.. Joe
Spagetti, the italian champion
and Joe Walcott VS.. Jim Jackson.
These will be of four rounds dura-
ton. Palmer and Dixon will
wind up the program.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Summary of the Weeks Milling Opera
tons in the Northwest.

MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, Jan. 3d.
The Northwestern Miller gives the
following summary Of the weeks
milling business: ......
The flour output last week at 3
centers with comparisons:
Minneapolis, January %, 1896,
2l2,050 barrels; January 26, 1894,
barrels LOG, $50.
Superior Duluth, January %,
1896, 1896 barrels.
Milwaukee, January %, 1896,
1890 barrels; January 26, 1894,
barrels 81, 100 barrels.
Totals, January 25, 1896. 27S,7l5
barrels; January 26, 1894, 127,340
barrels.
Minneapolis-Flour was not as
active as last week as might rea-
sonably have been expected at the
big advance in wheat.
There was a good deal Of feed
bought last week by western
brokers apparently on speculation
account.
Superior Duluth-The produc.
ton this week should DO 10000
barrels. Flour is very unsettled
on account OF the advance Of wheat.
There was only few small do
nestle sales.
Foreigners took very little
patent. ...-
Milwaukee - Considering the
dIllness in wheat trade last night,
flour was much improved.
st. Louis-Flour last week was
decidedly dull. Demand was light
from the south and east. Foreign
offers did not sympathize with the
market here.
Michigan-Trade was good all
the week, with millers not dis
posed to sacrifice their products at
lower prices.
Dakotas and Northern Mime
sots-On the whole the situation
was somewhat improved.
New York City-Holders put up
their prices to correspond with
these Of wheat of buyers held off
as much as possible for reaction.
Boston-Demand did not keep
pace with the advances in prices.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. were held
higher but trade quiet.
Baltimore-Some improvement
but no great activity.
Chigaco-Flouri advanced with
wheat but few millers were able to
get the higher prices.

Yale Enters Henley Regatta.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-A special
to local paper from New Haven,
Conn.,, says Capt. Treadway, Of
the Yale University club, in COM
pany with Mr.. Desidour, arrived
in New Haven last night from
New York, where it is understood
there was a meeting at the Wal
dorf hotel regarding Yale's boating
interests. Capt. Treadway was
shown the report that the Univer-
sity crew would not enter the race
on the Hudson, and was asked
what course Yale would pursue as
to a race this year. He replied:
at had been the intention Of Yale
University Boat club to arrange a
contest with the winner of the Ok
ford-Cambridge race this year, but
owing to the impossibility of fix
ing a date which would be con-
venient to the Englishmen as we'll
as ourselves, the Yale Boat club
has decided to enter her crew in
the Henley regatta, which will
take place in July of this year."

Stubborn and Were Bounced.

OTTAWA, Kans., Jan. 3O.-Twen-
ty-one young men, all members of
the sophomore class, have been eX-
PEELED from the Ottawa university
for having deffed the faculty by
giving a banquet to the feminine
members of the class at down
town restaurant after 1880 o'clock
Tuesday night. The authorities of
the university had not seriously
objected to the banquet when the
matter was proposed to them, but
they had insisted that it should be
held at a seasonable hour. After
the order had been issued, the
class was arraigned before the
president. Some of the young Ia
dies were in tears. All of them
were asked to sign statement Of
regret of the occurrence. All of the
young women and two of the
youths readily complied and were
restored to grace. Twenty-one
youths remained obdurate, how
ever, and were expelled.
