Worcester, Mass, Sept John Scan
Ion, James Shea and James DAILY en-
ployed at the Rice & Griffin sash and
blind shop in this city, were badly and
perhaps fatally burned this afternoon by
blazing sawdust. Scanlon and DAILY
were shovelling the tinder-like material
into the furnace in the boiler room and
DAILY was in small box like room or
the fourth floor, shovelling the dust
down chute to the men below. A back
draft caused the ignition of the saw dust
as the men were shovelling it, and quick
as flash they were surrounded with
fame. Almost as suddenly the blaze
flashed up the chute so that DAILY at the
top OF 1t was almost as badly burned as
the men below. The fire department

extinguished.

An Interesting Rumor.


A lewiston dispatch to the New York
Sun says:
Z A well known Maine Republican, who
hassjust returned form Ohio informs the
Sun correspondent that while in Canton
the statement was made to him that in
the event OF his election Major Mckinley
was expected to offer the portfolio of
secretary of the treasury to Congressman
Dingley. This statement was said to be
youched for by personal friend of Mr..
Mckinley, who intimated that what
ever promises khad been made Major
Mckinley was not inseusible of the fact
that Dingley was the ablesb economist in
ths party and that by his work on the
Mckinley bill, which he practically
framed, he contributed more to the
Majors fame than any other ASkn.

CLARK HOWELL CONFIDENT.
Believes Bryan viii Have Solid South and
Will Garry Far Western States.

Washington. Septem Der 7.-Hon. Clark
Howell of Atlanta arrived here today and
proceeded to Democratic headquarters
where he permanently took the place OF
Congressman Richardson representa-
tive here of the Democratic national com
mittee. Mr.. Howell said the situation
in Georgia indicated a tremendous major
ity for Bryan. In the state election to be
held in October the Democrats would
win by greatly increased majority.
He said the oubtful tates were South
Carolina and Kentucky. As to No rth
Carolina the fusion Of the silver vote of
the state would insure 1T for Bryan by
$1,000 majority. The only obstacle in the
way was the failure of Democrats and
Populists to come to terms. He believed
satisfactory settlement would.be reached
With three electoral tickets in the
field be believed that Bryan would carry
the state by decided majority. He
thinks that the nomination of Palmer
will help Bryan In Kentucky on account
of his record as war governor.
Mr.. Howell counted confidently upon
solid South, and said there was no rea-
son to fear that Bryan would not carry
MI tuo ldI WonoeIu staUeS, IN everyone OF
which fusion had already been arranged.
AS to fusion in the southern states he
thought in time the Democrats and Pop
ulists would get together in most of them
on a common electoral ticket.
The Quadrennial convention of the ma
tional association of Democratic clubs,
to meet at ST. Louis is postponed from
September 80 tO October to assure the
presence Of Bryan who notified President
Black that he would attend the conven-
tion II the date could be changed. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Sewall will be there.
Doubts are expressed on this point.

men of all parties. In calling the m eet-
ing to order he made few remarks In
which he stated his position
: He said that at first he thought the free
silver idea was right but since he ha
come TO examine it more closely and
when he had seen the wide spread harm
the agitation in favor of the subject was
doing to business he bad become con-
WINGED that he was wrong.
He said that soma Of his friends hai
asked him why If he could not support
the Chicago ticket he did not join the
ranks Of the gold Democrats. His reply
was that he d idn't see the necessity of
taking two bites at the cherry and
should vote for Powers aud Mckinley.
but how about the tariff" urged
these mon. "You have always been a
low tariff man and Mckinley represents
the high protection idea?'
My reply to that was, said Mr..
Mason, ''that while remembered what
prosperity was enjoyed prior to 1893
was willing to take my chances with the
Republicans on the tariff question,''
