MILLION-DoLLAR FIRE.
Salt Works Employees Barely Escape
with Their Lives.

Tarentum, Pa, March 21.-A destructive
fire broke out at O'Clock this evening in
the works Of the Pennsylvania Salt Manu-
featuring Company, at Natrona, and for
time threatened the destruction of the en-
tire plant.
A rough estimate places the loss at
81 ,O0O, 600, probably covered by insurance,
which is placed through the Philadelphia
offices OF the company.
The greatest loss is sustained through the
melting of the tanks in which the gold and
silver solutions were stored, and their
escaping into the river Some idea Of
this may be gained when it is said that
100, 900 ounces OF silver and 100000
pounds ofcOppcr were pro
This department consists Of a large
number Of frame buildings, covering an
area of three acres, and which contained
blast furnaces, smelling furnaces, and
lead-lincd tanks for storing the gold and
silver solutions.
The works possessed fine electrical
apparatus and chemical appliances, and
were the finest i'm the United States. The
investment in this alone amounts to
$4,000.
Nearly geo men Were employed and it
was being run double turn.
The flames spread with such rapidity
that it was with difficulty that the men

CARLISLE IS HIS Choice

HINT SENT OUT BROADCAST
Latest Rumor IN the Political world
Is That the President VIII Indorse

There are very many people in this
country who are set in their convictions
that Cleveland wants a fot.. IN nomination
and will be III the hunt wheu the proper time
comes.
Then again 1t is given out that the
President will not be in the race at all
this Time, but will throw his Influence
to either one OF two of his Cabinet officers
Carlisle or Oiney.
Just which Que of these Cabinet minis.
ters the mantle of the Presidents influ-
ence would fall in the event that he de-
cided to retire, was, up TO yesterday, mere
speculation.
OFFICE HOLDERS INSTRUCTED.
Certain information which has leaked
out, however would lead most people
to believe that Mr.. Cleveland Will not
enter the Presidential race next summer.
but will endeayor TO secure the nominal
ton for his Secretary of the Treasury.
The tip, so the story goes, and it comes
from the most reliable source, Is that
federal office holders from Maine TO Calf
fornia have been informed that they VIII
be expected by the administration TO get
out and hustle from this time on in the
| interest OF the election of Carlisle dele
| gates to the Chicago convention.
