of cotton seed meal has the effect to en-
courage, or stimulate, the soil to give up
to the growing crop all of its available
phosphoric acid and potash: and in few
years a soil so treated will fail to produce
Il satisfactory yield of any crop. The cure
for this state of things is not to apply
mere cotton seed meal, but to apply a
f. 'tilizer that contains a fair proportion
of phosphoriC acid and potash. The farmer
who habitualy applies only cotton seed

Allentown. Pa, Aug. 11.-Chairman
Wright of the Democratic state COM
mittee has sent the following letter
to congressman Sowden. which has
some interesting reference to Mr.. Sim
geIly and his withdrawal:
Allentown, Pa, Aug. TO- 1896.
Hon. William II. Sowden, Allentown, Pa. !:
My Dear Sir: ] have yours of Aug. \
enclosing a printed copy of your letter Of
that date and will forward it, as request
ed, to the secretary of the state commit
tee. | hope that by this time you will
understand that my falue to reply at
length to the inquiries of your former let
ter was not meant as any discourtesy to
You personally. I did not then deem 1t
proper that I should make any public dec
laration on the subject until ! had spoken
officially to the organization of which l
was the chairman.
want to say to you, however that great
injustice has been done by you and others
to Mr.. Singerly. probably through my
fault. You will understand this more fully
after the meeting Of the state central COM
mittee.
] might also add that in my judgment,
you and many others are unnecessarily
alarmed at the possibility of not having an
electoral ticket that will be willing to sup
port the nominees of the Chicago conven-
ton. ] feel assured from information
which 7 have and which is entirely re-
liable, that in good time all the electoral
candidates who are not willing to support
Messrs. Bryan and Sewall will resign so
that their places may be filled by men
whom even you would approve Of.
The statement In your letter. as taken
from the Philadelphia Press and the Har-
risburg Patriot, that the sound money
electors will remain on the ticket until
within fifteen days OF the election so as
to embarrass the organization as to fill
ing of vacancies. is without foundation
and the newspaper making the statement
must have been wilfully misled by some
one. | never heard of such a suggestion
until saw the absurd statement in print

ARE ROASTED
Bodies Of Many Victims Could Be Seen
Burning on Fire Escapes.
CAUGHT IN A NEW YORK FIRE TRAP
Flames Discovered in a Greenwich
Street Building Spread Rapidly,
Cutting on All Avenues of Escape.
Victims Appeal for Help from High
Windows.

New York. Aug. 11.-There was a fatal
fire this afternoon in the buildings at
Nos. 465, ACT and 469 Greenwich street.
occupied by the A. *. Warren electric
repair works and a number of smaller
firms. In the excitement attending the
outbreak it was first reported that at
least thirty lives We're lost. Some of
those reported lost were afterwards ac-
counted for. The accurate number of
victims will not be known until the
ruins are searched. 1t is believed, how
ever. that the death list will prove to
be fifteen or twenty. While the fire
men were fighting the flames the bodies
OF two victims could be plainly seen on
the tire-escape. Five men and boys
were injured while escaping from the
burning building. They were taken to
Hudson street hospital. mangled and
burned. What caused the fire is not
known, but it Is believed to have been
started by an explosion. 1t is known
that an explosion occurred a few min
utes after the fire broke out. The fire
spread like flash through the build
ing ut No. 465, where the fire originated,
and cut off the escape of many. The
the contiagratiOn saw number of men
at the windows appealing for help. but
before any attempt at rescue could be
made they fell back exhausted by the
heat and smoke and all are supposed to
have perished in the flames.
Altogether there We're about thirty
two men employed by the Warren COM
pany. There were fifteen on the sixth
or top floor, eleven on the fifth, four on
the fourth and couple in the offices
on the ground floor.
VAIN APPEALS FOR HELP.
The full list of killed and injured
cannot be made until later. 1t will
be several hours before the ruins are
cooled sufficiently to allow the firemen
to enter. From the stories told by
those who claimed to have been near
by when the first alarm was given,
faces were seen at nearly every win
dow. That at least four are dead in
the ruins there can be no doubt. for
their charred bodies lie exposed to
view on the fire escapes on the third
and fifth stories Two others, one q
girl, were seen to fall back in the
flames, overcome probably by the
smoke before the fire touched them.
The injured 50 far as known at this
writing are: Felix Hass, slightly in
jured: Thomas Sharkey. burned on
head and arms: unknown man, un-
conscious, will probably die; Eugene
Greenwood boy slightly burned; -
Cummings, badly burned, back appar-
emily broken. jumped from fourth
story window and striking structure of
the - road. fell to the ground. will
probably die. Among the dead are:
William Gray. foreman of the electro
cal works, and Esther Finstein, also
