Kind Words Of Coincidence Received
From Every Section.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 14.-No sooner
was the news of the death of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison flashed to the world than
the messages of inquiry which had been
pouring in for several days changed to
messages of sympathy and coincidence.
During the first part of last night a
large number of such messages were re-
celved from. every section of the coun-
try. and at an early hoAr this morning
there was a steady line of messenger
boys to the Harrison home in North
Delaware street. The messages came
from friends and admirers of the general
and from those associated with him in
public life at one time or another. The
greater part of them were of such an in
innate personal nature that Mrs Harri-
son felt that their contents should not
be given to the public.
From Grover Cleveland.
One of the first messages to be received
was from eX-PresidenG Grover Cleve-
land, who was twice the rival of Gen
eral Harrison, once successful and once
defeated. He telegraphed as follows:
PRINCETON, N. j., March Is, 1901.
To Mrs. BENZ. Harrison, Indianapolis:
Accept my heartfelt sympathy in an
affection which millions share with you.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Harlan
and Justice McKenna Of the supreme
court sent messages expressing their
grief and sympathy last night.
All the members of General Harri-
sons cabinet when he was president
sent kilograms. Messages were received
from Charles Foster, who was secretary
of the treasury; John w. Foster, ex-
secretary of state, the latter telegraph.

to Washington from Mexico; ex-Secre.
tary of War Senator S. B. Elkins; ex-
Secretary of the Navy General Benja.
min F, Tracy; ex-S Secretary of the Inte-
rior John W. Noble and ex-Postmaster
General John Wanamaker. The latter
telegraphed that he would be here to
attend the funeral of General Harrison,
and it is expected that number of the
other ex-cabinet officers will also be
present.

TOWN WIPED OUT

Property Valued at Half a
Million Destroyed.
BURSTING OF A GAsP1PE

Over One Thousand Persons, Embrac-
ing One-Half the Population, Are
Homeless and In Great Distress.
Housed In Railroad Cars.
CLoVERPoRT, KY, March 14-Fire
which broke out at midnight from the
bursting of a gaspipe destroyed property
worth $500, ,000 The greater part of the
little town was completely wiped out
and over 1000 persons, about one-half
of the population, are homeless, and up
to the time a special train from Louis
vile reached here were in great dis
tress
The heaviest loser is the American
Tobacco company, which lost two large
stemmeries and 1000, 900 pounds of to-
bacco. The Americans 5 loss has not
been estimated, but will be heavy.
Other large structures destroyed were
the Lucille Memorial church, Metho-
dist church and the only two hotels in
the town, the Breckenridge Inn and the
Cloverport hotel The losses on these
have not yet been computed, the own
ers and occupants devoting themselves
entirely to fighting the flames in other
parts of the little town and doing what
they could to succor the women and
children huddled in little groups where
ever shelter could be found from the
biting cold of the night and early morn
ing.
Cars as Temporary Homes.
AS soon as the management of the
Louisville, Henderson and st. Louis
railroad learned that hundreds of per-
sons were homeless, they ordered every
available coach between Louisville and
Henderson hurried to Cloverport, and
III these the unfortunates will for the
time being make their homes The man
agement also sent 5000 loaves of bread
and other food, which came as a great
blessing, since not a store was left in
town where mouthful of food could
be bought
Adjutant General Murray telegraphed
that 500 tents had been dispatched from
Frankfort, and the authorities at Louis
vile wired that train load of relief
had been quickly gathered and would
leave at noon.
The fire is still burning in spots, but
little is left for 1t to devour, the remain
ing houses being scattered and away
from the business and residence section
of the town.
Help was asked the fire departments
of Louisville, Owensboro, Henderson
and Nashville, and at 4:30 this morning
an engine and company arrived, but it
was of little use, as the flames had been
famed by high wind and had by that
time done their worst

leverage with the iron handle. as it is
