Six Lives Lost.
Gloversville, n. Y, Feb. 2.--The Al
word house, five-story brick building,
was totally destroyed by fire between
seven and eight o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. Six persons persisted In the flames
and q dozen others were more or less
injured in making their escape. The
dead are: +. G. kimball, OF Indian
apolis. and his wife and daughter; Ben
jamin +. Strickland, Henry c. Day,
Charles Rupert. Mr.. Kimball was an
agent for a glove factory Of this city
and Mr.. Strickland and Mr.. Day were
business men. Rupert was bell boy
In the hotel.
Among the seriously injured. besides
L. {. Lambert, are: William Maloney,
travelling man, residence unknown,
sprained ankle, and b. NJ. Ross. travel
ing man, OF Rochester. N. y, badly
bruised.
DIR. j. ID. Davis, of Westfield, N. Y,
Jumped from the third story. He struck
the wires opposite the second story and
was thrown TO the ground but was not
seriously hurt. j. ii. Barry. Of Troy,
jumped from the third story and was
only slightly injured. Elwood DE Long,
fireman. was seriously frozen. An
drew Watson, of Toronto, Ont. jumped
from the fourth floor to shed and was
only slightly hurt.
There was n wild scramble on the
part of the guests TO escape from tbe
building with their personal property,
but many were forced to flee without
saving anything. A few Of the guests
made their escape by the stairways,
but the smoke soon cut Off this re-
treat. The next resort Of the impris-
oned people was the windows.
As their terror-stricken faces APP
peared, the great crowd below
watched, breathlessly hoping against
hope that all would be saved.
The guests who were thus en-
trapped did not long hesitate 10 take
the risk Of jumping. though some were
rescued from their perilous position by
the fremen. Others leaped from the
windows, several being more or less
injured.
The total loss on building. furniture
and property Of guests will probably
amount to 100000, partially insured.
The fire started near the laundry, but
from what cause is not known.

Ills Long Engagement with Chicago
nnsebnII Club Terminates.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-President Hart, Of
the Chicago baseball club. broke the
long spell Of silence which he has hith-
erto maintained about the Arson case,
and Tuesday night spoke freely on his
position in the matter. What he said
confirmed the gossip that has been
printed about the affair for the last
two months. Mr. Hart said the dl-
rectors of the club had decided to be
guided In a great measure by public
opinion. The press and public had
taken II for granted that Arson would
not be manager of the Chicago club the
coming season. and the directors, de
string TO cater TO the public, determined
not TO renew h'S engagement when his
contract expired. This was the policy
pursued. A new manager has not been
selected. nor Will one he for few days
Mr.. Hart had only kind words to say
for Capt. Arson. and was unstinted In
praise Of him as a frst-class sports
man. Capt. Arson himself would say
nothing about his retirement.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Disaster nj Mhrinette Cwis.D Paper
Mills Kills Two Men.
ROBINSON.
Quhrternnsicr.


Milwaukee, Feb. "a special to the
Sentinel from Marinette, Wis, saws:
a terrible explosion occurred Tuesday
night at the Park paper mills. One OF
the digesters in the sulphite mill blew
up a large thrce-story brick building
is in ruins. two men are dead and n
third seriously and probably fatally in
iured. Peter Borst was killed outright
being crushed beneath falling brick and
iron. Samuel Steffen is buried under
the ruins. and desperate efforts are be-
ing made 10 save Sim. but the chances
of rescue are slight. Even II he is
taken out the fumes OF sulphur from
the digester will probably kill him. The
third man is Louis Lefebre, OF Me
nominee, whose skull was fractured
by piece Of flying brick.
The cause OF the explosion is un-
known. II occurred without any warn
ing shortly after the night crew took
charge. The reverberation shook the
town. The fire department and the pa
per mill crew are trying TO effect the
rescue of young Steffen. The loss TO
the Marinette and Menominee Paper
company viii be more than $50, 1000. The
air about the mills Is so impregnated
with sulphur that II Is almost impossi-
BILE TO continue the rescue work The
ruin wrought by the explosion was
most complete, and all that remains Of
pretentious three-story building is
one-hhlf Of n wall. All the rest Is a
pile OF pulp-eoyered debris. Other men
may have been in the mill nj the time
of the explosion, but no others are
known to be missing. In the sulphite
mill, besides the ruined digestcr, was a
new one just put in. II is the only dis
astrous accident that has occurred here
since the paper mills were built.

An Important Debate.
All efforts 10 amend the resolution

The events Of the day leading up TO
the final vote were full OF interest and
importance. II was a field day for the
orators of the senate, no less than 25
senators embracing the opportunity
10 speak upon the subject under dis
cussion. That the debate was interest
Ing was attested by the attendance in
the galleries which were crowded
throughout the day; and that II was i'm
portant was evidenced by the state
ments of several Of the speakers that
the discussion was but the preliminary
alignment of the great political parties
for the contest of 1000. Many of the
speakers took occasion TO criticise in
strong terms the utterances OF Presi-

OF the Resolution.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The house of
representatives on Monday buried the
Teller resolution declaring the bonds OF
the United States payable in silver un-
der an adverse majority Of so votes.
The republicans were solidly arrayed in
opposition, with two exceptions, Mr..
Linney (N. CO., who voted with the
democrats and populsts, and Mr., White
(N. CO., the only colored member Of the
house who answered present when
his name was called. The desertions
from the democratic side were Mr.. Nc
Aleer Ua.) and Mr.. Elliott Is. CO..
Both voted with the republicans against
the proposition. Speaker Reed, al-
though II is not customary for him to
vote, had his name called. and amid the
cheers Of his followers went on record
In opposition to the resolution.
A Five Hours Debate.
The vote was reached after five hours
OF debate under a special order adopted
at the opening OF the session Monday.
The limited time allowed for debate and
the pressure OF members for an oppor-
tunity 10 be heard was so great that the
leaders on both sides were compelled TO
farm out the time by minutes. This de-
tracted much from the continuity OF
the discussion. but IL also in a measure
intensified the interest In the galleries,
which were crowded all day, and the
combatants on the floor were cheered
by the respective sympathizers.
One Member Kissed.
The majority, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Dingley. who made carefully pre-
pared speech sounding the keynote OF
the opposition. assumed the position
that the last clause of the resolution
was in reality n disguised declaration
for the free coinage OF silver, while the
nssaulting democrats, under the dlrec-
ton OF Mr.. Bailey. maintained that the
defeat of the resolution was another
step in the direction OF establishment Of
the gold standard 10 which they alleged
both the president and Secretary Gage
had irrevocably committed the repub-
lican party. The debate was at times
fast and heated, but there was no SEN
sational incident beyond the Kissing
OF Mr.. fihen (dem., Ky.), when he said
that "as the author OF the 'orime Of 70, :
the hottest place In hades would be re.
served for the present secretary of
state" The vote on the resolution was:
