PIKE RECORD. A defective fine was the origin of a fire at Allegan, Mioh., whioh completely gutted that thriving little city. Between thirty and forty places of business were burned. Including; three of the best blocks In the dry the Sherman House block, the Em pire block, and the Union block, forty stores and a number of dwellings fell viotlms to the fames. All the newspaper offices, the Journal and Tribune, the Gazette and Democrat, are destroyed, a few fonts of typo being all that was saved. The loss will aggregate nearly. If not quite, 9(0,000, while the insurance, it ia believed, wfll amount to $130,000. The business men of Allegan take the fire very philosphically, and the burned out places win be speedily rebuilt.

MILD BUT DIGNIFIED.
The Lasker Eeaolutions Again Before the National House of Representatives.
Bismarck's Acta Discussed, Ourtin'B BabolationB Adopted) and tin Qerman Liberals Thanked.
Associated Press Report. As soon as the niembors trero in their seats Mr. Curtin, Chairman of tho Committee on Foroign Affairs, submitted as a privileged question the report of the commtttee. This
declares that tuo original resolution was in
tended as a mark of sympathy for a distinguished man who bad died in tbis country.
While the committee waa of tho opinion that
ine resolution snoum have been
coived in tho proper fpirlt, yet it would rofraln from critlcii-ing' the action of tho German authorities in regard to thorn. Tho dlgniflcd position of tho Dopaisment of State fully sustained the high character the department had maintained smce tho organisation of tbo Federal
tiovcrnincnt. Aa to tho resolutionsllerod March 10. the committee was cf the oninlon
that they contained language not accossary or proper to vindicate the character or dignity of tho House. Therefore .they would re
port tuo roiiowing resolution aa asubstituto: Jlesolned, Thnt the resolttiions referring to the death ot Dr. Edouard Lasker. adouted hv
this House on Jan. 9 last, were intended aa a
tntrnte ol respect t i iho memory ol an eminent statesman who bad died in the United Mates; as an expression of sympathy with the German people for whom ho had been an honored representative. Jiesolrurf, That the House, having no official concern with the relatione between the executive and legislative brannhes of the German Government, does not deem It requisite to its dignity to criticise the manner of the reception f the resolutions or the circumstances which prevented their reaching their destination alter they had been commnni ated through the proper channels to the German Government. Air. Curtin then moved the previous ques
tion. Mr. Jticagan said ho hoped this would not bo done, as tho Houso had already mad.' apologies enouEh for being insulted. Mr.
Cox, of Now York, moved to lay the matter on the table, as the best way to treat the Ger
man Chancellor, but tbis motion was lost 83 to 1SS. 'iho previous Question having been
ordorcd, Mr. Ochiltree rose to deba'e the resolution. Ho declared that this aOair had gone beyond the domain of red tape sod circumlocution and had assumed a phase which called upon each Heprosontative to preserve his own honor and dignity. It waa not becoming- tho honor and dignity or the House to explain tbo meaning- of the original resolutions. They spoke for themselves. The apologetic tonn of the ponding resolutions was unworthy tbo representatives of tbis groat nation. Tho compliment to Lasker bad been a rebuke to iho German Chancellor bo- ( anee the men were Iho antithesis of each
other. The Chancellor had ever boon a syco
phant to royalty, bad never upheld the rights of tho people, and never lost an opportunity to denounce popular sovereignty. Mr. Bolford inauircd ironically whether it would be
in o:dcr to oiler a resolution relenting the apoUgicsof the House to the German Chunteller for having troubled him, but was told
it would not.
Mr. rhelr-s. the second speakor, said that
tbis matter had lecomn of grave conse
quence. As tho crmmittoc bad unanimously agreed in their report, it nould seem that there ought to bo an explanation. Tho resolutions n ere passed unanimously Jan. 9, just a? the members wei e preparing to ad.ourn.
Ten days later tho House was ttartioa uy tno
information that the Chancellor had rolused to accept them. Tho members then looked up the rerord to see what thoy bad done. They found thattltey had expressed regret at tho death of Lasker, and nisi) the belief that hit free and liberal sentiments had advanced
tho interests of h 6 country. Both were true.
but the last one the House cAuld not report. It had no right: to send out ity opinion that his political work had benefited Germany.
There was no refuge. The Houso would resent the fact that its friendly sentiments bad
been rejected, but it could not resent the ract that Ha political sentiments had been cent back because it had no business to put them
on the same pavter.
Mr. Curtin .evlpwc-l am acionuca mo features of tho report, and tho resolutions
wcro adopted without division, though an
unsuccessful elort was mado to havo the yeas and nays ordered. Mr. Curtin then presented a report concerning the memorial of tho Liberal I'nion of the German Parliament expressing n desiro for a clorcr union of the two nations, and an appreciation of the
action of tho House. Kesolutlons were presented reciprocating the wishos of the Liberal
i, n. on or Germany, accoft ng inc resolutions, and directing that they should 1)0 spread on the journal. Mr. Cox thought the House
was trying to show its thanks to ono por
tion cf the Uclchstag after having neon
thoroughly insulted by tho blood and-iron Minister. By so doing it was complicating matters In such n way as to lose all dignity
and pluck. HO (v.ox) nau lavoreu tno resolution of Mr. Hiecook, which was digniilcd and
consii-f.-nt, but the Houfo preferred to make republicanism and democracy a farce or un
dignified bulloniery. Tho people of Germany were in accord with thoso of this .country, and bo believed that time day there would bo an uprising of the liberty-loving Teutons.
Mr. Cruram said that the House was trying
.to carry water tn both shoulders. Dignity
Jn-nc, in his iLdgmcnt, honorable, htrolo .action, and not tho playing ot the coward, 6imy.I.r because a Chancellor finight say tho rules of etiquetto had
not Docn sinciiy ioiiowou. nr. vua-
ter commended tho action of tuo Do.partmant of State, and declared that Bls-
marca fiuusiy acuou wuum jim, umwrmuBw . or.lv for h'm. Mr. Pholos closed the debate.
He claimed that the letter scut by Bismarck
to the Gorman Minister :n Washington, in
which bo bad expressed his cordial regard for theAmerionn people and willingness to transmit the resolutions if they had not ex
pressed a political opinion, was. an ample
apolopy. Thanks to llismarck, to Frernghuysen and his skill, and to the Commit eo on Foreign Alialrs, tho dignity of the House had been saved. The Gorman Chancellor had entered the Reichstag for tho first
time in eighteen months, m order to play tne
new rclo of an apologist: the gentleman from
Texas had seen his lame grow irom ine confines of his State to the circumference of the
world; all bad been satisfactorily enaea, and
the members had tho rluht to ring down tne
curtain on this international episode. The resolutions were then adopted without a di
vision.

A Battle with a Wildcat. rphuadelphla Dispatch. Levi labar, of Purdytown, on the eastern
slope of the Blua Bidge, fought a "catch-as-

cat in his bedroom last night. About mid
night Labar heard a strange noiso in tho room. Ho J urn pod from the bed to make an investigation, whon tho animal sprung upon his shoulders, but La
bar shook it on ana aouvoreo a stunning blow with a club. For fifteen minutes the conflict ragod, tho brute leaping from wall to wail, clinging lo tho parer with its abarp claws, and thon bounding upon its opponent,
screeching with lury ana wnn eyes sinning like coals of fire. At last Labar dealt the cat a death blow. It mousured eight feet from the tip of Its no.o to tho end of its tall. Lobar was severely lacerated about the face and arms.

FIro Breaks Out, Adding; Horror to
the Situation Thrilling Scenes,
Located tn Tazewell County, at the terminus of lbs new river division of the Norfolk and West-
era Railroad, la tho vUlige of Pocohontae, a
comparatively new settlement. Hera are located the mines of tho Southwest Virginia Improvement Comnanv. a joint stcok comoratlon com
posed of Kwthern capitalist. These mines
were owned at vnt a year ago. and from them
Immense quantities of coal arc t hipped to Northern markets. The mines cave emulovment to some fire or alx hundred
men, mostly foreigners. On the night Of the 13th ol March a relief of ISO men went to the mines to take their turn at work. About
midnight the people of the locality for miles around were startled by a tcrriilo explosion and a great trembling of the earth. The terrible sound was sufficient to inform every one that a frightful calamity had befallen the midnight laborers. In an instant tho streets wero filled with a crowd of screaming women, children,
ana men, au rustling ior toe mouui oi uie principal mine in the aoothern annurbs. Here a
dense volume cf smoke was found pouting from the shaft, and scattered around within a radius ot a quarter ot a mile were broken timbers, shattered cars, pulleys, and machinery. On all aides were to be seen fragments ot human bod
ies, somo oi wucn were toagea in tree-tops, and others on roofs of houses and sheds.
For more than an hour wild shrieking and the loader innnlrcstationa of grief from desperate men filled the air. No one seemed to have any idea as to what should be done, and ail rushed hither and thither, seeking frantically lot some evidence of tho fate of relatives below. At intervals a more than ordinary shriek of anguish wonld tell that some searcher had found a token which realized his or her worst fears. The scene
was terrtole m tne extreme. Miners nouses, hnildlna. and trees several hundred vards away
were completely torn to pieces, showing conclusively that the force of the explosion most have been rcmaxkable. It was not until two hours, had passed in fruitless lamentations that any effort was made by the panic-stricken crowd to ascertain tho condition of affairs. Then a ghastly faced man, whose night-clothing was not altogether concealed by on Immense blanket which he had thrown around his shoulders, sprang on a stump and cried out: "For Gods sake, men, let's stop this. We all have friends and relations down below, and maybe we can help them. Let's see about it, and let the women folks do the crying." Every one of the officials ot the camp waa below ground, and there appeared to be no one competent to lead except the man re
ferred to, who at once eanea ior volunteers. Th,, was a hnrrled movement to the mouth
of tbo mine, and led by the man in the blanket, and amid the shrieking of frantic women, soma of whom pleaded with the men to remain out ot dangers the little band disappeared in the gloom and smoke around tho mouth of tho mine. They soon reappeared, however, and tt was announced that all attempts to get into the mine were
trnuiess. a aensc volume oi name soon ajiumenced to shoot upward, and illuminated the scene for half a mile, rendering the ghastly - wkld. t. - t Mtl-artn him Aw.il nnl.
by torchlight, ten times more impressive. The crowd had gathered, helplers. In little groups, either discussing the situation Or lamenting the death ot some loved one. It was agreed
that the explosion naa lateen piace vt rm xop mine and had been caused bv fire-damn.
The situation remained unchanged until daybreak, when the horrors of the scene became glaringly apparent. The men who still retained their composure began to gather the fragments
ot humanity scatte ca aoont. inese were evildently the limbs of these miners who had been working near tho bottom of the shaft at the time of the accident, and had been blown upward. Not one of these unfortunates, numbering about fifty, survived, as their shattered limbs lying around broadcast testified. A party of miners from Coalfield mines under Col. George Dodds arrived during the afternoon and took charge of the camp. The residents were compelled to retire from the vicinity of the mine, and the new-comers then gathered all the fragments of humanity and placed them In adjoining houses. The collection was a ghastly one, and the 1,500 population remaining above ground s-semed to have lost all reason. Not one In the ciowd but had lost a relation, and all seemed to have little hope of ever seeing anv ot them alive. Young girls, halt-naked, dashed around Aimlessly, many of them covered with

About every halt hour a body of men would Sroceed to the mouth of the mine and make a etermlned effort to force an entrance. Again and again the grea t pall cf smoke and the bursting flames from below would force them back, and somo ot them would be borne halt tainting into the fresh air. At 1 o'clock it was thought an entrance could bo had, as the smoko showed signs of decreasing. A i arty of men attempted to get in, and had gone below ground, when a volume ot name shot op, and they were hurriedly assisted to ths
surrace. una or. lueir nnmoer, an xtaiiau named Carlo Franchl, was missing, and had evidently dropped from the cage. All of the nsrt.v were badlv burned, and
this showed how fruitless were any hopes o! rescue. The shaft at 8 p. m. was a roaring funnel of flame. AU the outbuildings In the vicinity

and It was soon a mass of cinders. It became evident at this hour that the whole mine was ablaze, and it is doubtful whether it can be extinguished for weeks, if at all. This settled the fato ot tho 150 unfortunates below the ground. The explosion was so great that It blew off ths entire top ot the mountain, which, settling back, filled up the mines and buried the unfortunate men. Tho mountains for a mile around the scene of tbo disaster are covered with tho debris from the wrook. The summit ot the park was covered with coal-dust. On the tonmnst summit. 400 vards awav from the mouth
of the ill-lated shaft, a mulo's head and a child's
toot were picjceu up. x no cnuu irom wuicn mis latter was torn was killed in the cottage of its
father, near by. The bouse was blown to pieces, and all of its inmates crushed to death by falling timbers. Trees in tho neighborhood were uprooted and carried to distant points ot the mountain.

Twoncy-flve miles from this place, near the Kentucky lino, lived John Martin, his wifo, and thrco children, two of thorn i rmm young women, tho other a boy of IS. Martin s in his scrcutielh year, and bad Ilrwiin tho neigh rhood nearly his entire life. Ho bad eked out a moderate living on his little farm, quietly doing bis work and bnviiiir the re-post of every one. Yesterday ho returned from Nashville, whore he went to rocuvi; the nna.1 ceUlcment of his pension claims, having I ecu wounded In ths late war. It s pnscmod that this tiip was learned of by certain rough characters living near, who, bont upon roblory, planned and executed this most horrib'o crime, Martin's lo house was stunted a quarter of a mile from the Hpr;ngfl?Id road, about ten miles northwest from Adams' Station. A heavy S row ih of cedars and underbrush hides tho bouse from the view of the travelers on the inn n toad. Ihis Isolation prevented the tragedy irom being discovered until this afternoon. A peddler who came to the house gave the first alarm, and the whole neighborhood was aroused. Tho door was broken aa if struck vioiently with an ax. .This door led into tho main bedroom, where Martin and his wife slept. The scene upon cn:cring the room t eggnrs all description. Martin was dead upon the floor, his gray hair matte 1 and st aked in a pool of blood. Tito head wus s.ilit open In to places by blows from onn.v. The loi'Obead was crushed, and tho glaring cyor wero forced from thoir sot Sets. I' pon every side wero evidences of the frightful si rugglo that must have taken p'aoe. Tho walls and tho floor wero bespattered with blood. Mrs. Martin must have boon killed as she started from the bed. Her arms wo:o broken and her fac-o horribly mangled by the blows of the ax. There waa one stream or ghastly blood. The most pitiable sight was tho little boy, who occupied a trundle-bed in the room. Evidently he had been taken by ono of the murdetors during tho struggle with tho otliors and choked to death. In the next room, where the girls lay, the Eight would have melted a heart of stone. Everything indicated a most desperate struggle for lilo. Evidently tho murderers added a worso crime to their misdeeds. The disordered clothing of the poor girls told plainer than words or tho outrages that had been perpetrated upon them. After the brutal amass ns bad satisfied their lust they crushed the skulls of the two girls with the ax, which was found upon the floor, red with blood. It was a sad experience, and ct-cry eye that witnessed tho Mid spectaclo was full of tears. The horse bad -teen ransacked from one end to the other, and tnb'es and chain were overturned. The ontlro neighborhood was filled with horror at tho fearful sacrifice of human life. A confusion of foo-prints waa found leading away from the houto into the neighboring woods. Search parties wore formed, and the country for miles around was scouted for a trace of tho rncrderore. A farm-hand nan ed George French was arrested by one ot tho County Constables upon suspicion.
