NEGRO POsTMAsTERs NOW.
Presidents PoIicy-Hannn's Eiec-
tion-Virginin and North Carolina.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. october g.
Special 1.-THE appointment of a negro
postmaster at Beaufort, S. c., to-day is
understood here to be a declaration OF
the Presidents policy in dealing with
southern appointments. 1t means, said a
prominent negro politician tonight, that
the negro is to be recognized as con-
trolling factor in southern politics, and
IL means more-to wit, that the negro
vote in Ohio is to be placated, at any
cost. in the interest of Hanna's election
to the Senate. Only Ohio people stand
any chance of appointment at this time
and the Ohio negro is the main factor
i'm outside appointments, where the con-
test is between white and negro appli-
cants for office. The appointment OF
Bamfield. negro, as postmaster at Beau
fort. s. c., to-day, was made at the point
Of the bayonet. Bamfield is n son-in-
law of Smalls. a negro eX-congressman
from South Carolina, and his appoint
ment was directed by the negro organiza-
tion that threatens Hanna's defeat in
Ohio.
Virginia and North Carolina are to get
a dose of the same medicine. A promi-
nent negro politician here said tonight
that the result of the Lamb convention
would be the suspension Of all appoint
ments in the State, with the understand
ing that negroes world be appointed I'm
proportion to the vote on the State ticket
after the election. The Lamb people
here are hilarious over this phase of the
situation.

NELLIE JOHNSON, 10, Grafton, n. d.
LILLIAN WEST, II, Sioux Falls.
The burned structure was Of wood,
three stories high, and was but recently
completed. The origin Of the fire is un-
known. The watchman saw the flames
bursting from the upper windows while
he was in a building some distance away.
There was no fire-fghting apparatus AT
the school, and the buildings being over
a mile from town, no aid could be rem
dered.
In a short time the entire annex was
enveloped in flames, and in less than
twenty minutes from the time the hre
was seen the building was destroyed. No
thing whatever was saved.
There were about twenty-five other per-
sons in the school who escaped in their
night-olothes, with the greatest difficulty.
Search for the bodies was commenced as
soon as possible, and late this evening all
had been recovered and Immediately

The loss on the building is s25 900.

VILLAGES SWEPT AWAY.
Disastrous Forest Fires in Canada
Five Fatalities.

OTTAWA, ONT, October 6-The
Canada Atlantic railway has not yet
been able to get to Casselman, on ac-
count Of the fire which started in that
vicinity yesterday. and which ragged all
night. The Nation river. small stream,
passes through Casselman, and the
woodwork Of the iron bridge over It has
been burned away. Details Of the dam
age done are still meagre. but II is known
that three villages-Casselman South
Indian, and Cheney-haye all been
swept away.
Tho people OF Casseiman. about 900,
are reported as hudded together on the
rocks on the river, without sufficient
clothing or anything 10 eat At South
Indian, which has a population of 400
or 800, there are only three or four
houses standing. South Indian Is seve-
raj miles from Casselman. Cheney, an
other small village, was burned down.
The fire covered distance OF about
twenty-five miles. Casselman had
seventy-five or a hundred residences, a
lumber-mill, grist-mill, furniture
factory. and several other business
places OF Importance. Assistance is be-
ing forwarded 10 the homeless from OF
~
Four bodies have been recovered near
South Indian, as a result Of the forest
fires. They are those OF Mrs. Levielle.
Miss Stiles, her sister, and Mrs. Lee
yielle's two children-one an infant and
the other l2 years old. The women
rushed from their house to escape TO
the clearing. but the smoke surround
ed them and they lost their way and
ran into the flames. Had they remained
In their dwelling at South Indian they
would have been perfectly safe, as IL
was not touched by the fire.
Two houses and a hotel are all that
are left OF Casselman. Sixty OF the most
destitute were brought here this eve
ming, and the others are being provided
for at farm-houses.
Later.-Another victim has been added
to the list Of those who perished In the
fire at South Indian. Mrs. Lacroix. a
widow, was found dead about two miles

There Is Every Reason TO Believe
that the Eloquent baltimore Pas

The Grace-Street Presbyterian church
congregation, who have been without .
pastor ever since Rev. Dr. James Y. Fair
left them to accept the pastorate OF the
independent Presbyterian church. at Sa-
vannah, Ga. met last night, and BY an
unanimous vote, extended a call to Rev
Dr. Jere Witherspoon. the eloquent di.
vine who at present ministers to the
spiritual wants OF the congregation OF the
First Presbyterian church. Baltimore.
The congregational meeting was called
by the church session some time ago.
and in response thereto almost the en-
tire membership OF the church assembled
last night In the lecture-room. Rev. DIR.
Van Houten presided In the capacity OF
moderator. and Mr.. B. c. Wherry ofii~.
ciated as clerk.
WERE READY TO ACT.
Some debate was had concerning the
advlsability OF extending q call at this
time, but the large majority was In favor
OF calling pastor, and tho minority
yielded gracefully. The mode OF selection
was then discussed, but as there was q
singular unanimity OF sentiment In favor
OF Or. Witherspoon. but little trouble was
experienced here.
The call was therefore extended, ana
from Information already CLEANED con-
cerning the Baltimore pastor, there is every
reason to believe that no Will accept.
Or. Witherspoon preached two sermons
at the Grace-Street church last summer.
and the congregation became very favor
ably impressed with him. He il said to
be in every way fitted for snis pastorate.
and is by many conceded TO be the equal
Of DR.. Fair in every respect
AN IDEAL MAN.
He was for a long time at the head OF
n flourishing church in Nashville, and
has been for several years connected
with his present charge. though he re-
Gently rendered his resignation in Balti-

sympathetic pastor, and withal man OF
God, and the congregation Of Grace
Street church are well satisfied with their
choice.
The action OF the meeting has been
communicated 10 DIR. Witherspoon, and
IL Is expected that an answer VIII be re-
ceved from him tomorrow.

GOId-Standnrd Meeting.

FRANKFORT, o., october 6-The Ken
lucky State Banking Association Conven-
tion. which was in session here to-day,
protesting against any politics entering
into or affecting its deliberations, was
nevertheless at times little more than a
gold-standard meeting.
The feature of to-day's session was an
address by Hon A. Il. Wilson, of Louis
Vile. He came to explain to the bank
ers the origin and details of the India
napols convention. The enthusiasm
with which he and his address were re-
ceived was enough to evince the temper
OF the Kentucky bankers, but Governor
Bradleys speech, welcoming them, the
presidents annual address, and every
speech made rang with such expressions
as "the victory won last November for
sound currency" and national and COM
mercial integrity" and each expression
was Justify cheered by every member OF
the association.
Along the same line were short talks
by such visiting bankers as J. r. Branch.
vice-president National Banking Associa-
tion; b. w. Griffith, secretary Mississippi
Bankers Association; President Quicken
berger, of the Atlas Bank. Cincinnati, and
William c. Cornwall, president City Bank
of Buffalo.
