-Four Burned to Death.

BROOKLYN, May 5.-Four persons
lost their lives this morning in a small
fire in the apartsments of Mrs. Rebecca
Cohen on the third floor of the four
story building at 234 johnson avenue,
this city. The dead are Mrs. Cohen,
Mrs. Postarnek, and Mrs. Cohen's two
children, two years and three years
old. The fire started with the explG-
sion of a small oil stove. Mrs. Cohen
was standing near it and the burning
oil ignited her clothing. Alarmed and
frightened, she ran into the rooms &C.
cupied by Mrs. Postarnek. The latter
made an effort TO save Mrs. Cohen, but
while doing SO her own clothes caught
fire. Both women were found in the
hallway by the fremen and were car
ried to the street where they expired.
When the fremen entered the Cohen
rooms they found the two boys lying
on the floor with their clothes in mass
of flames and both died soon afterward.
Two other children were also burned
and had to be taken to the hospital.

LONDON, May 5.-The Central News an
nounces that Col. North, the Nitrate King,"
died suddenly at his Office in this city to-day.
Col. J. T. North was native of Leeds and
owed his soubriquet to the fact OF his having
accumulated immense wealth in nitrate mines
in South America. Col. North was personal
friend of the Prince of Wales and was liberal
patron of the turf. Col. North was seized
with an illness after psrtaking of some oys'
ters and died within half an hour. The
shells of the oysters which he ate were taken
possession of by the police, for the purpose OF
.scertaining if the oysters were fit to be eaten,
though the general supposition is that Col.
North died from heart trouble.

GENERAL LEES MISSION.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Dispatch says:
General Fitzhugh Lee, after remain
ing quietly at the residence ofhis friend,
General William ii. Payne, on Wash
ington Circle, for nearly two days, left,
as quietly as he came, for Virginia on
Sunday. There are various rumors
ahoat in connection with General Lees
visit here, none of which have any
foundation. The General visited the
President and Secretary Olney on Sat.
urday, and had extended and satisfac-
tory interviews with both, and the pur-
port of these has been the subject Of
wide speculation. One report says: 1t
is not suggested that there is anything
distinctly hostile to Spain in General
Lees formal or informal instructions, but
that course of Independence and firm
ness is expected of him, which, under
the peculiar condition of affairs, may
excite General Weyler. The expecta-
ton is entertained, however, that even
in the absence of any direct irritation
resulting from the change of method in.
VOlV6U Ill LILO SuCCoSSlOu VI oSuClo al
Lee, there will be decisive action taken
by the President, which will probably
not please the Spanish government
This is q sample of the published re-
ports, and as General Lee positively re-
fused to be interviewed, it is safe to say
that the above is nothing more than
guess-work. 1t is not believed that
General Lee has received final instruc-
tons of any sort, and it is more than
probable that he will return here and
have more extended conferences with
the President and Secretary before
leaving for Havana"
A dispatch from Washington says !:
"Consul. General Fifzhugh Lee, having
received his instructions from the State
Department, has gone to Lynchburg to
arrange his private affairs. he will
leave for Cuba in day or two and
will probably reach Havana Saturday.

The Disaster at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 5.-The fire.
men and others were still at work this
morning clearing away the debris OF
last nights explosion. Both saloons
under the building were known as first
class resorts, patronized by politicians,
clerks, professional and business men,
and it is unknown how many are en-
tombed in the cellars. 1t is believed
that the dead will number at least
score, while the wounded are three
times that number. The loss of life
will not be fully known until the ruins
have been cleared away. John j..
Prickett, the plumber who put the gas
oline tank and engine in Drach's cellar
says "The gasoline was used to gen.
crate gas. When the engine was re-.
Gently put in place, tested it, and it
ran all right. The plant was for the
electric motor, which supplied the place
with electric lights. The plant was
evidently considered complete Sunday
night, and some unskilled man proba-
bly, attempted to starti Monday night.
I think the explosion was caused by
opening the valve, which supplies the
chamber where the gas is generated,
and allowing too much gasoline to run
into It,

The MethodistS.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 5.-Bishop
Andrews called the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church to to
order this morning. A committee Will
consider the interests of the American
Bible Society. A contest between the
lay and ministerial delegates took place
over the appointment of committee
to consider the rights of the lay dele
gates. 1t was finally decided to ap-
point committee consisting OF one lay
and one ministerial delegate from each
conference district to consider the posi-
ton of the lay delegates.
At 10 o'clock the debate on the Wo.
man question was resumed. Danlei
Stevenson spoke for the admission OF
the women. He said "The time has
gone by when anybody shall be exclud,
I'd from church offices on account OF
race, color or SEX"
The Rev. DR.. Neeley, who is leading
the fight against the women, said
"This question is not one that involves
chiyalry or popular demand. There is
not q man in this house who is under
Instructions. We are simply Jurors,
and no church or conference has the
right to instruct US. Men and women
are one in Christ Jesus, but they are
not one in the general conference. You
can't ordain women. 1t is part OF the
Methodist constitution that the govern
ing power is with the men,"
Other warm speeches were made tor
and against the admission of women.
The Rev. DR.. Charles F. Stafford
moved that q vote be taken on the
question at 10 a. m. tomorrow, but this
was laid on the table.
Conference adjourned until $50 g.
m. tomorrow, wnen the debate on the
women question will be resumed.

A YOUNG GIRL MURERED.-Elsie
Kreglo, white girl sixteen years old,
was murdered yesterday evening in a
rayine near the National Geological
Park, Washington. The body was
found in a small creek about one hun
dred yards from the girls home. Cries
for help were heard by the Kreglo
family, and sister and colored boy
rushed to the scene whence the cries
proceeded. They found Elsie standing
in a creek of shallow water between
two hills. The girl, however, over
come by loss of blood and exhaustion,
fell back dead into the water before
help arrived. The girls throat had
been gashed six times with knife. No
arrests have been made. The circum-
stances of the murder are such as to
make it one of peculiar atrocity. The
young victims clothes were partly torn
from her and strewn about for quite a
distance, showing that she had made a
desperate resistance against the at
tempts of her assailant, who, the
officers believe, sought to criminally
assault her. The pathway leading to
the bottom of the ravine was bespstted
with blood, and the water in which she
was standing was red with it when she
was found. The affair has caused
much excitement. A negro was seen
running across the road just at that
time, and this, besides the finding of a
pistol nearby, is the only clew. The
Kreglo family are industrious working
people, and the victim was one of FIVE

THE RECENT unsuccessful attempt to

THE RECENT unsuccessful attempt to
reorganize the republican party IN this
State ona white basis has done that
party no good, but may do it much
harm. as the chief element of its
strength lies in the negroes, who have,
and not unnaturally, been induced by it
to suspect the sincerity of their white
allies. Then, too, the latter have been
led by it to doubt the possibility Of in
creasing their own numbers, knowing
as they do, that self-respecting South
ern white men will not take pot luck
with negroes, nor agree to elect or ap'
point them to responsible positions
either in political or any other organi-
cations or to associate with them on
terms of social equality. The two races
are by nature separate and distinct.
The character of the Ethiop is as un'
changeable as his skin; blood is thicker
than water, and what God has put
asunder, man cannot join together. The
only condition on which the white and
the.negro races can live on amicable re-
lations, where the latter have, or ap-
proximate majority, is that OF the Tor
mer's indisputed dominancy.

completely collapsed and fell, a con-
glomerate mass of brick and shattered

ing Immediately collapsed. The shock
was go terrific that it was felt all over
the city, and not one brick on another
is left in the front and rear walls OF
the building while the adjacent build
ings are badly damaged, and the glass
in the windows of the Gibson House
and the large Johnson building, across
the street, were all broken. The glass
was broken out of street cars that were
passing at the time, and one OF the
cars was badly wrecked, but none of
the passengers were seriously hurt. All

hood broke from their fastenings and
ran away, and there was not only in
tense excitement, but also the greatest
confusion. The explosion took place
tour doors from the intersection of Fifth
and Walnut streets, where the postof-
fee is located on one side and Foun-
tain Square on the other. 1t was as
certained that the saloons in the build
ing had put in their own electric plants
for incandescent lights, and had just
secured gasoline engine with which
to run the dynamo. The plant got out
of fix and there was fash which COM
municated to the gasoline and caused
the explosion. The sudden collapse
of the large building smothered every
thing in the cellar so that there was on
fire.
