This free-handed statesman seems to

This free-handed statesman seems to
have forgotten that during the holt
days his party put what they called an
emergency" tariff bill through the
house, insisting that the treasury Re
ceipts were running behind the eNpend-
lures and that more revenue was the
one thing needed to relieve the treasury
of all it's troubles. He seems to have for
gotten the outgiving of the republican
party leaders, including himself, when
CHS congress first convened that econ
o1ny would be the yyatchword, for the
present session, at least, and that the
appropriations would be kept down to
the lowest limit consistent with eff
Gent administration.
The propensity to spend money is SO
dominating that under its sway all the
fine promises of economy, all the moves
fact of a deficit are forgotten or ig-
nored. If this propensity is irresistible
when the treasury is still running be-
hind from S3,O0O,00O to 100000 a
month, if a republican congress will
be prodigal when the treasury is in
straits as at present, what would it do
it the receipts were at the rate of $780,
600, OO0 a year more than the necessary
expenditures? We may learn from the
history of that other Reed congress
which came in with Harrison and by it's
spendthrift acts dissipated the large
surplus left by Cleveland and created
a deficit before the Harrison admins
tration turned over an emptied treas
ury to its Chicago Chron-
icle.

AN EMPLOYEES CURIOSITY.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Persisting in his

ming. an employee of the firm of Powell
a Laurence, photographers, at Yale
and Sixty-third streets, Englewood,
succeeded yesterday morning in caus-
ing an explosion which wrecked the
building in which the studio is
located, severely injuring himself
and Mrs. Laurence. Mr.. Laurence
is the inventor of the powder, and has
-confided to no one the secret of it's
composition. He employed Cunning
merely to mix and pack the material.
He was working with ~ ounces of the
powder when it ignited and exploded
over two pounds of the stuff ia 80
boxes near by ready for shipment.
The room is in t'le second story, and
the explosion tore a door from another
apartment, hurled it through hall
and struck Mrs. Laurence in the head
through an open doorway.
Dunning was found unconscious,
covered with debris aud bleeding from
a dozen gashes.
Mr.. Laurence was in the gallery on
the first floor when the falling ds bris
almost buried him. The lives ot all
the occupants were saved by the walls

A WILD WIND STORM

Makes Things Lively Inf and About New
York-A Brooklyn Cooperage Blown
Down and Several Men Buried In the
Ruins-The Ship j. n. Walker, In Tow.
Blown High and Dry Upon Liberty Is
land.
New YORK, Feb. THE high wind
prevailing here is causing a great deal
of damage to property. A three-story
brick building on Thirty-ninth street,
Brooklyn, was blown down by the
storm shortly after 10 a. m. The build
ing was used as a cooperage. Several
men are known to have been at work
there when the building collapsed. 1t
is believed that the majority of them
are buried in the debris. Firemen and
policemen, assisted by the people in the
neighborhood, at once began the work
of clearing away the ruins.
The gulf storm that was roaring and
racing up the Atlantic coast all Wednes-
day has reached here and it is the wild.
est and most violent that New York
has had for several years.
The American ship j. n. Walker
started from her pier in Brooklyn in
tow of two tugs from the Erie basin to
be dry-docked. AS soon as she was
clear of the pier the wind took charge
of her and she was blown through
Buttermilk channel, dragging the tugs
along with her. She touched on a
shoal off Governors island and was
then blown across the bay being entire
ly beyond the control of the tugs. She
struck broadside on against the pier of
the Liberty Island Steamboat Co. on
Liberty island, where she now lies
port side on, high out of the water,
and would roll over were she not held
up by the pier. Boatmen say they
have never known the waters of the
bay to be SO angry. The Walker is
sister ship of the General Knox, which
burned last year at her pier in the
East river. One of the tugs lost her
smokestack, it being blown out by the
wind, and she was lowed by the unin'
iured tug to the Erie basin.

AN AWFUL WRECK.

Bristol Bridge Carried AWAY by the Flood
ana fOurseen Human Lives Lost-Part
OF the Structure Gave way First and
the Greater Disaster Occurred While
Brave Workman Were on the Wreck
Trying to Repair the Damage.
BRISTOL, Mass, Feb. IA most ap-
palling disaster occurred here shortly
after nine o'clock last night in which
20 working men were precipitated into
Pequabuck river from the east Bristol
bridge and from ten to twelve of them
are probably lost.
The structure was found to be shaky
and the 4:42 train ON the New England
ros-d mad narrow escape from wreck
as it crossed on the way to Hartford.
For some time the bridge had been
looked upon with suspicion, and at the
present time new bridge was In pro-
cess of erection, and rxas almost COM
pleted. 1t was close alongside the
old bridge which was carried away.
After the east-bound passenger train
had passed last night. one side of the
old bridge gave way to the current,
and with crash went boiling down
stream. The managers of the road
Immediately dispatched a wrecking
train from Hartford, which arrived
on the Forestville side of the Pequa-
buck at 5:45. There were 40 men on
the train all of whom had come from
Hartford. They were Immediately set
to work to make the new bridge passa-
BILE and work was progressing salts
factorily by the aid of lanterns up to
nine o'clock To facilitate the work
half of the men were located on the
remaining portion of the old struc-
ture. AT nine o'clock they were pass
ing iron girders to another gang of
men on the new bridge.
The waters of the Pequabuck had
been continually rising since morning,
and at nine o'clock We're higher than
ever known. The water had risen two
or three feet since the first crash at
five o'clock, and the remainder of the
bridge was really lettering while the
men were courageously standing upon
1t. The outer end suddenly sank with
a crash, with its human freight, and
was carried off in the boiling current.
The cries of the men, the creaking OF
timber and the falling of the ironwork
made combined noise which was
heard half mile away.
The half of the gang which had
been resting on more solid foundation
We're horror-stricken to see their work
ing companions so suddenly precipi-
tated to death. In an instant, how
ever, they were resolved into a rescu-
ing party, and every effort was made
to save the drowning men. Two men
were fortunate enough to reach shore
by their own eXertions, Immediately
after the fearful fall A third was
saved by a workman, who plunged in
after him and brought him to the
shore. Finally a fourth. fifth and
then a sixth were saved by the heroic
efforts of comrades.
Others could De seen struggling
away in the mass of debris, clinging
to it and crying frantically for help,
