A SUNDAY STROLL.

The,city editor strolled over into
the wards of the Texarkana * tt
Smith railroad yesterday, and the
first living sight he saw was Master
Mechanic, Al. Campbell perched up
in the cab OF the st. Louis Il South
western railroad locomotive. We
approached and told the master
mechanic that we knew the road he
was working for (the Gulf had
converted Louisiana and part OF
Texas into its belongings, but we
did not know that they had gob-
bled up the Cotton Belt too. Al
bert smiled with a knowing look,
which said plainly, we' could bag
it if we wanted it, but made reply:

of these coaches, touching them up
with gold leaf and then vanishing
them with coach varnish, and they
had the appearance of being new
ones.
The yards have been cleaned off
to the last pine brush, and it looks
as if all of the thirty acres over
there will soon be filled with tracks
and car sheds We noticed also a
car loaded with new mill outfit
for some one south.
The road is fast developing the
country through which it passes.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The body OF
A. II. Pile, secretary Of the national
committee of the silver party, and q
prominent politician of San francisco,
was found in the Potomac river about
100 yards east of the aquduct bridge,
Monday. How Pile came to be drowned
Or how long his body had been in the
water is a mystery yet to be solved.
There is not the first thing to indicate
suicide, as was first suggested, but
there are reasons for suspecting foul
play.
When last seen Mr.. Pile was pos
sessed of considerable sum of money,
all of which vanished during the time
he had been lost to his friends.

BY FIRE.
A Big Electrical Repair Plant Is
Burned at New York.
MANY LIVES ARE REPORTED LOST.
From Present Appearances the Deaths
VIII Number between Fifteen and
Twenty-several Persons Arc
Badly Hurt

New York, Aug. 12.-There was q
fatal fire Tuesday evening In the build
ings at Nos. 465, 467 and 400 Green
witch street, occupied by the A. u.
Warren electric repair works and
number Of smaller firms. In the ex-
element attending the outbreak 1t
was first reported that at least 80 lives
were lost. Some Of those reported lost
were afterwards accounted for. The
accurate number Of victims will not be
known until the ruins are searched.
1t is believed, however, that the death
list will prove to be 10 or II. While
the firemen were fighting the flames
the bodies of two victims could be
plainly seen on the fire escapes. Five
men and boys were injured while es-
Gaping from the burning building.
They were taken to Hudson street hos
pital, mangled and burned.
What caused the fire Is not known,
but 1t Is believed to have been started
by an explosion. It Is known an ex!
plosion occurred few moments be-
fore, and the fire spread like flash,
beginningat No. 4e5, and cutting off es-
cape of many. The fremen who first
reached the scene of the conhagration
saw number Of men at the windows
appealing for help, but before any at
tempt at rescue could be made they
fell back exhausted by the heat and
smoke, and all are supposed to have
persisted from the flames. Altogether
there were about 90 men employed by
the Warren company. There were 12
on the sixth or top floor, ii on the
fifth, four on the fourth and o couple
in the Office on the ground floor.
The list OF the killed and injured
cannot be made until later. It will
be several hours before the ruins are
cooled sufficiently to allow the fire.
men to enter. From 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 of the third
and fifth stories. Two others, one
girl, were seen to fall back in the
flames, overcome by the smoke before
the fire touched them. Among the
dead are William Gray, foreman of the
electric works, and Esther Finstein,
also an employe. A workman named
Cummings jumped from q fourth
story window, and, striking the struc-
ture Of the 81" road, fell to the ground.
He will die Of his injuries.

Of an endorsement of Mr.. Reeds opinion
which is authoritatively stated as follows:
He is opposed to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver, except by interna-
tional agreements and until suoh agree
ment can be obtained, he believes the
present gold standard should be main
tanned.
The Ohio resolution does not purport to
represent the personal opinion of Mr..
Mckinley, but it is understood that it
was prepared under his direction and re-
ceived his approval. Here 1t is:
We contend for honest money; for a
currency of gold, silver and paper with
which to measure our exchanges that
shall be as sound as the government and
as untarnished as its honor; aud to that
end we favor bimetalism, and demand the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with ra-
ito to be fixed by an international agree
ment if that can be obtained, or under
such restrictions and such provisions, to
be determined by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the parity of
values of the two metals, SO that the pur-
chasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
The Maine resolution is clear and def

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention
which met yesterday was conspicuous for
it's numbers and enthusiasm. 1t met to
voice the universal sentiment of the Re-
publioans of Maine In favor Of the nomi-
nation of the Hon. Thomas B. Reed as
candidate for the Presidency and to give
expression to their views upon the vital
political questions of the day. 1t per-
formed both duties admirably. The men
selected as delegates and alternates to the
ST. Louis convention are all able men,
men who have been conspicuous in the
ranks of the Republicans of the Pine
Tree State, men who have frequently
been honored by their fellow citizens
with high positions of trust, men who
firmly believe IN the superior fitness OF
Mr.. Reed for the great office of chief
magistrate of the nation. men who have
the capacity to make their opinions and
those of their constituents felt among the
distinguished representatives Of the Re-
publicans of other states who will gather
at ST. Louis.
The convention made Mr.. Reeds views
upon the important questions of
the dayits platform. 1t chose
this course undoubtedly as a
means of setting forth clearly to the
country the opinions of Mr.. Reed as we'll
as those of the Republicans of Maine. and
Of course, the inference is inevitable
that this platform is as authoritative a
declaration of Mr. Reeds views as if he
had cin nod 10 fn
acquainted with Mr.. Reed or who have
examined his record with view of rs
certaining the truth there was no room
for dou biting where he stood on the ques-
tions Of protection or the currency. His
record has been consistent as to both.
Throughout his public life he has been
the earnest friend of protection to Ameri-
can labor. He has delivered most elabor-
ate and powerful speeches in it's supp ort,
he has always voted in its favor. and the
last protection measure which was placed
upon the statute book could never have
been placed there but for his courage, his
firmnuss and his readiness to accept re-
sponsibility when it's acceptance involved
contest of such magnitude and of such
bitterness that only the most courageous
of men would have been equal to it. On
| the currency his position has been equally
firm and consistent, though there has
been dishonest attempt to make it ap-
pear otherwise. His face has always been
firmly set against the free coinage of sill
yer and his every act and word and vote
has been in opposition to that policy.
The declaration Of the convention of yes
terday which is at the same time his per-
sonal declaration was not needed to con-
vince anybody who was disposed to ex-
anime for himself how Mr.. Reed stood
on the currency, but it will serve the USE
full purpose of making further misrepre-
sentation of his position practically i'm
