4 Family Reunion.

In the MiddIeto-n News Und.), of
June 10Th, We find long and interest
ing account Of the reunion Of the Pick
crIng family at their home near that
town The original family located in
Henry county in tn" tweutIes, and
an ong the assembled guests were seven
whose years numbered more than
scycnty-t;yc, the oldest being eighty
five. Many Of the family were unable
to be present. Among this number
were Mr. W. +. Pickering, of our city,
ana his sister, Mrs. Lindley Butler, of
the West end. Those not present sent
letters. which were read to those as
scmbled, and an appropriate poem, in
IIiawatha style, written by Mrs. Butler,
was greatly enjoyed by those present.
The article states that during the past
year, up to within couple Of weeks Of
the gathering, death had not cutcto,
the large circle. but on June Ilth Ration
Pickering, one Of thu older rcIrhcrs of
the family, was taken to bis ,eW2rd,
and on the 18th, Sarah Butler, of Chi
cage, passed away and was buried at
the old home the very day before the
reunion. Thus the affair planned to be
one of real pleasure, was saddencd
somewhat by the recent bereavement.

afternoon. The basement. first and
second floors of the building We're oc-
cupied by Fitzpatrick & Co, ,manufac-
turers of mirrors, plate glass, stained
glass, coach and carriage windows and
doors. The five upper floors were occu-
pied by the Bradley Currier Company
manufacturers of doors, sashes, frames
and mantles of the most expensive sort
This firm had among it's stock the
driest of woods and most infiammable
of oils and varnishes. After a nhour
or so the floors becoming weakened, one
after the other gave way, and at last
the flames shot up through the roof
The building was erected ten years ago
by the Trinity Church corporation at
a cost of 100000. Nothing of it now
remains but the blackened walls and
they will have to be rebuilt. The stock
of Fitzpatrick & Co., and the Bradley
Currier Company, all of which was de-
stroyed, was estimated to be worth

TERRIBLE SCENES AT WRECK
OF THE TRITON.
The Number Of Lost Estimated to
Have Been No Fewer Than a
Hundred and Fifty.

HAVANA, Oct II. = The gunboat
Maria Cristina which left this port
yesterday for the scene of the wreck
of the coaSting steamer Triton bound
from Havana to Bahia Ronda, Pinar
del Rio, which sank yesterday morn
ing between Domica and Mariel has re-
turned, accompanied by the tugboat
Suey, which went with her. The two
vessels arrived here at j o'clock this
afternoon, the gunboat having on board
nineteen and the tugboat twenty-three
of the members of the lost ships COM
pany of whom thirteen are civilians
and soldiers. The Whereabouts of the
others of the company are unknown
The Triton struck the rock during a
heavy rainstorm Her cargo shifted,
and fifteen minutes later she sank in
120 fathoms of water.
A scene of terrible confusion and
panic ensued as soon as the passengers
realized the meaning Of the crash. In
a wild struggle they rushed for the
boats The first boat that was low
cred capsized Immediately and all of
its occupants We're drowned in the
whirling waters. The next was struck
by an enormous wave and turned over
drowning twenty, but the fraIl craft
righted again and eight who had been
thrown out regained it.
Some were good swimmers and kept
themselves afoat for hours; others
f1oated about for twenty-four hours on
planks Four soldiers on planks whom
the strong currents carried east of Ha-
vana, opposite Moro Castle, were saved
by a pilotboat going toward Cardenas
They declare that last evening there
were many others near them on planks
but when this morning came all these
had disappeared. Some of them prob
ably became food for sharks
Those who were rescued tell heart
rending stories of the scenes during the
terrible quarter of an hour before the
Triton sank. An army Captain. wife
and daughter went down together
locked in a last embrace A mother
with twins - months old drifted help
lessly away on the crest of a great
wave All the other ladies and chill
dren were drowned.
Just as the Triton was sinking Cap-
tain Rickardo, her Captain. committed
suide by shooting himself with his re-
volver.
1t is impossible to give the exact
number of those who We're lost, but
it is estimated that they We're no fewer
than $50 No passenger list has been
found. The vessel. which carried a
general cargo. was not insured
The forty-two rescued suffered Sc
verely from the exposure. All of them
were more or less bruised and many
of them badly wounded

THE INDIAN MINTS.
"Times" Believes Government Has
Decided Not to Reopen Them.

LONDON. Oct. 17.-The Times" in
its financial article says it believes
that the Cabinet has decided to decline
to reopen the Indian mints, or to enter
an international monetary conference.
1t says:
1--WE do not know exactly what Mr..
Wolcott proposed, but there is no doubt
that the opening of the Indian mints
was the concession most seriously
pressed The Indian Government, sup
ported by the India office, strongly pro-
tested against this policy, and the home
Government must have felt bound in
this year of serious trouble for India
to indorse this position. In order, how
ever, to meet the views of sympathiz-
ers with bimetallism in the Cabinet, an
intimation may very likely be given
that the Government is prepared to
consider any further or alternative pro-
posals'
The Times" commenting editorially
in approval of the Governments decis-
ion, says:
president Mckinley has now re-
deemed his election pledges, and may
turn with a pleasant sense of dis
work of financial reform. As to the
Government offer to consider alterna-
tive proposals, we may, perhaps, be al
lowed to hope that an indulgent atti-
tude will not be abused, and that be-
fore again distracting the Government
and the public, bimetallists Will be care
full to see that they have invented
something really novel and practica-
ble'
The standard says, editorially
THE strong bimetallic minority in the
Cabinet has shown itself sufficiently in
fiuential to delay for the present any
pronouncement fatal to the success of
Mr. Wolcott's mission. The game of
coquentry initiated by the bank with
the connivance, if not, at the instiga-
ton of some of the Ministers, is ap-
parently to be still played, and the
public is to be kept in the dark as to
the real attitude and intentions of the
Government"
The record-union., 1897-10-18
ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
They Denounce Bimetallism and
the Bank of Eng1and's Action.

LONDON, Oct 1S.-The Daily
News" in an editorial headed, THE
Blmetallist Conspiracy" says this
morning:
I'VE do not know what authority
there may be for the statement that the
Government has agreed to continue the
negotiations, nor can we see what the
United States or any other country has
to do with the matter But there must
be an end to the conspiracy of silence
in which the Government is involved
Our financial credit is far too serious
subject to be bartered with foreigners
or handled in the dark"
After severely reproving the Chancel
lor of the Exchequer and the Governor
of the Bank of England for their share
in the transactions, the Daily News"
pointedly demands explanations from
Mr.. Balfour, the First Lord of the
Treasury, and says:
There are those, including ourselves,
who regard it as a public scandal that
the First Lord of the Treasury should
be bimetallist They argue that for
eign critics may justly doubt the sin
cerity Of our monometallism when they
see a man at the Treasury who would
if he could, destroy the whole of our
monetary system"
After insinuation that the question
has been left open with a view of in
f1uencing the two forthcoming parlia-
mentary bye-elections in Lancashire,
the Daily News" reiterates its demand
for full publicity, and calls particularly
for the letter written by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, to the Governor of the Bank of
England.
The Daily Telegraph dealing edito-
rally with Saturdays Cabinet council,
says:
AS the Cabinet has separated not
to assemble until the normal date next
month, and as Mr.. Balfour has return
ed to Scotland, the Ministers must be
in complete agreement. If there had
been any dissensions, other meetings of
the Cabinet would speedily have fol-
lowed. We may conclude, therefore,
that everything remains as before. 1t
is impossible that any momenteus
change in the currency system could be
settled at a single meeting of the Cab
met
The Daily Graphic says:
"All the circumstances lead US to be-
lieve that the Government will give no
assistance to any undertaking to reopen
the Indian mints"
Continuing, the paper says: Gold
may yet again be current in India, if
the policy of 1895 is boldly pursued
Then the single-gold standard would
rule throughout the Empire. That is
our interest, both as producers and
tenders of gold We are not going to
throw it away in order to put money
into the pockets of Colorado mine own
ers or to help Mr. Mckinley out of
electioneering difficulties"
