THROUGH AN OPEN DRAW,
Plunge of Fire Apparatus and Firemen
Into a River.

Plunge of Fire Apparatus and Firemen
Into River.
Cleveland, Jan. 25-A fire engine while
being drawn at rapid rate to fro in
the lumber district on the flats at .. 30
O'Clock this morning, plunged through
an open drawbridge spanning the river
at Seneca street. -Four tiremen were
on the engine. Two of them jumped in
time to avoid going down, but the
other two went down with the engine
and horses into the river, distance of
about 20 or 30 feet. The men managed
to reach some bridge pilling and we're
rescued by their comrades who had
jumped in time to save themselves.
The two firemen, Driver William Bur-
CESS and Assistant Engineer Charles
Coolidge, who went down with the en-
gine were more or less injured but not
fatally. The horses were drowned and
the engine lies a wreck at the bottom
of the river.
The approaches to the bridge are NOT
provided with safety gates. A steep
hill leads down to the bridge on the
north side and the engine had gained
such momentum in making the descent
that it was impossible to stop when the
driver discovered that the drawbridge
was open. The night was so dark and
rainy that the rod lights located on
each end of the open draw, which had
been swung out in mid-stream, could
not be seen. The draw had been opened
to permit fire boat to pass through on
its way TO the fire in the lumber dis
trict.

A Proposition Which VIII Assistin Main
tanning IL.


Cleveland, o., Jan. %. 5.-Postmaster
John @. Hutchins of this city has sug-
gested a plan to Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle, which will probably be
acted upon and in measure assist the
government to maintain the gold re-
serve, and considerable correspondence
has resulted between the authorities at
Washington and the postmaster.
A large proportion of the receipts of
the post. office in this city is in gold
and Mr.. Hutchins suggested that if the
gold received at all the postotfices
throughout the country, amounting
perhaps to millions of dollars annually,
could be placed in the United States
Treasury and not deposited at the ma
tional banks. as is done in each city
under the present system, the scheme
would result in materially helping the
maintenance of the gold reserve.
The postmaster has received a letter
from Secretary Carlisle, thanking him
for the suggestion and has also had
considerable correspondence with Post
master General Wilson in reference to
the subject The postmaster General
has instituted inquiries among all the
larger postoffices as to the amount of
gold received and where it is deposited.

WIN Allow Miss Barton and Her Party
Aid the Armpninns

Aid the Armenians.
Washington, Jan. 2l-Owing to the
energetic representations of United
States Minister Terrell Miss Barton
and her party will be permitted by the
Turkish government TO distribute re-
lief to the distressed Armenians,
although the Red Gross itself will not
figure in the work.
This news came to the State Depart
ment to-day in a cablegram from the
minister to Secretary Olney, in which
he says that while the Porte refuses
such permission to the Red Cross, or
to the members of the Red Cross as
such, and thereby declines to officially
recognize that society, it will permit
any person whom the minister names
and approves to distribute relief in the
interior of Turkey, provided the Tur-
kish authorities are kept informed of
what they arc doing. There can be no
question that Miss Barton and her
party will be so designated by Minister
Terrell. but it is apprehended that they
will encounter almost insurmountable
obstacles in reaching the field of
action, as the mountain passes between
the seaboard and the interior are now
practically impassable owing to the
deep SHOWS.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 20. Lead
ing Republican politicians OF Arkansas
deny the report that Hon. Powell Clay
ton will be candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency of the United States. Gen.
Clayton does not want second place on
the ticket, but would accept Cabinet
position. The general understanding
among the Arkansas Republicans is
that in the event of McKinley's nomi-
nation and election to the Presidency.
Gen. Clayton will be invited to seat
in the Cabinet, probably the Interior
portfolio, and for that reason, more
than for any other, they are enthu-
siastically for Mckinley.
Gen. Clayton is the Arkansas mem
ber of the Republican National Com
mitteo and has long been the recOg.
