hl3 existence. Campos, wis Cat. pood-na-tured. wise, philosophical, slow In his mental process, clear in his judgment, emphatic in his opinions, outspoken, and. withal, lovable, humane, conservative, constructive, rrosressive. with but one project ever beXor him. the Klortflcation of Fpaln as a motherland and a figure among peaceful, enlightened nations. rx Weyler Is lean, diminutive. shriveled, ambitious for Immortality Irrespective of its odor, a master of diplomacy, the slave of Spain for the glory of pitting at the rigft of her throne, unlovable, unloving, exalted and doubtless Justly in self-ea-teera. because he is unmlstaken in his estimationof his value to hi Queen. His passion Is success, per se, foul or fair, consequences or the conventional ideas of humanity notwithstanding. "Imagine such a. man ever loving a woman. They fay that W'eylor had a mother and that he. loved her. I know, for I have heard him say so. that he remembers somethins of his grandfather, who was a German, whence came his name. But there Is not enough blood in his frail little body to warm into life those passions that revere the closer relations of womanhood, and mentally he is Incapable of intellectual affections. "What he lives for Is completely epitomized In his person, and. as others have been, I was also conscious of it the first time I raw him. That was in the palace, of course. The gates were guarded by gaudy soldiers, tinseled and polished. Every turn in the stairway and corridors was emblazoned with the arms and emblems of Spain. Officers of all ranks, groomed, barbared and powdered, were visible !n scores. "In the great Sala de Reclblmlento were ill military conditions, from lieutenants to gpnerals, whose hushed conversation and functional palaver were oppressive. On through this crowd and through more obstacles of formality to the presentation the Journey through the forest of gold lace terminated before-the closed door of General "Weyler's oflleial abode. There an adjutant, more bedizened than the rest of the dazzling multitude, trod softly to the portico, gently opened the way." retired again, and we were alone In the presence of the man. "And what a picture! A little man. An apparition of blacks black eyes, black hair, black beard, dark exceedingly dark complexion; a plain black attire, black shoes, black tie, a , very dirty :hlrt and soiled Branding collar, with no Jewelry, and not a relief from the aspect of dzrlir.css anywhere on his . person. He was alone, and

was stanamg facing the door 1 entered, lie had taken a position in the very center of the room, and seemed lost In Its Immerse dothJ.' It is capable of holding 400 ;cop!e. Its -vast marble floor-is vacant of furniture, and its walls-, of great height, are covered with portraits, larger than life, cf the captains-general of Cuba during 10 years. Voices echo in the cavernous chamber and the ancient personages looked down Vflon an Invasion of their quarter almost as If they, too. were receiving, with the 'living picture, which will some day hang among them. It w?.3 like a stage setting around this remarkable-man. ' It is rot remarkable that I momentarily Hesitated to mak certain that thU was actually Weyler. Doubt was. dispelled with a lcok at hi face. H13 eyes, far apart, bright, :trt anj striVngr. took me In at a glance. H;s face seeraei to run to chin, his lower Jaw protruding far beyend any ordinary Indication of nrmnts, persistence cr will power. His forco?ad is neither high- ncr receding; neither Is it that of a thoughtful or phllosctKiic man. His ears are set far back; and what Is called the region cf Intellect, in whlcin ar those mental attributes that might De defined as powers cf, observation, calculation, judgment and execution, is strongly developed. The conformation of his head, however, la not one that is generally accepted as an indication cf any markxi possession of philcpragenitlveness or its kindred emotions and i.nclisatl3rs. His nose is aquiline, bloodless and obtrusive. When he . speaks it Is with a hteh nasal pronunciation that Is not aisagraeable. because It is not prolonged; and inls sentences justify every Impression that has aiready been formed of the man. They were short, crisp, emphatic and expressive. 'I have an aversion to speech. I am an enemy of publication. I prefer to act, not, to talk. I am here to restore peace. When peace !s In the land I am going away. I am a soldier. When 1 am gone politicians will reconstruct Cuba, and probably, they will upset things again until they are as bad as tney are now. I care not for America, England-anyone but only for the treatle3 we have with them. They are the law. I observe the. law and every letter of the law. I have my Idea of Cuba's relation to Siin.. J have never expressed them. Some politicians would aree with th?m: others would est. Na cne would agree with all of them. I know I am merciless, but mercy has no S lace in war. I know the reputation which as been built up fcr me. Things that are charged to me were done by ofiicers under me. and I was held responsibly for all things la the ten-year war, including ILs victories end. I do not conceal the fact that I am here oleljr because I can crush this insurrection. I care not what Is said about me unless it la a lie so grave as to occasion alarm. I am cot a politician. I am Weyler "Adroit phrases mean nothing to Weyler. I was frozen by his atmosphere for the moment into -a being remotely resembling xumselr, and as digaifladly, concisely, unconsciously Derhans a .tho trno nt Ma versation. 1 made the reauests which hart led to ray visit and retired., There, again, was the sea of gold lace, the multitude of generals and lieutenants, the. noisy clanking of swords and spurs, , the gaudy guards at the gat all keeping up the appearance of military domination; but behind them in the recesses of the palace was the man, tho caamory, the altogether of Spain in Cuba." SCENES IX CL'DA. ' What an American Saw and Heard In the Unhappy Island. BAITIMORE. March 2D. An Interesting lory of the present condition, of affairs In Cuba is told by Mr. Henry Mencken, of the BaUImore firm of August Mencken & Brother, who lias Just returned to this city after a two weeks stay In the little Isle now In the throes of wr. He says the feeling arsons: the loval Soanlards In iT.ivna t very bitter against the United States, and that it is dangerous for a citizen of this country to venture anywhere In Cuba outsideof the cities. Mr. Mencken confined his visit to Havana and Matanzas and was, even at ; those places, scoffed at and looked upon wtth suspicion. -"All of tho country around Havana," said IIr. Mencken yesterday, "is guarded by epamsa soiaiers, wno win arrest anyone they take it Into their heads to arrest, and If a stranger is arrested he is likely to be CHst into prison and never heard of again. In the c.y ths streets, hotels and cafes are constantly parrolled by spies, who watch foreigners and. especially Americans keenly, hanging around in the vicinity and trying to catch fragments of their conversation. As an American walks along the streets he can frequently hear slurring remarks made by the Spanish sympathizers. True, the American cannot always understand what they say, .but he can distinguish the word Americano uttered in a tone of supreme contempt. The Cubans seem unanimously with the insurgents, but they have to keep under cover with their sympathies. Many of the Spaniards, too, go into the plazas and hurrah loudly for Spain, but secretly hope and feel that the insurgents will win their battle. "Because a man is a citizen of the United 6tates." continued Mr. (Mencken, "he need not count upon being exempt from insurt. The Spaniards seem worked up to a reckless frenzy and do not care what they say or do. 'Why they remark, sneeringly, to Americans, 'this little war will be over in a few months and then we will go after the TTnlted tftates. We will go up and take 1'lorlda, which, by the way, you have never raid for, and then, after we have taken Florill tYt T A na tl-111 trallr In a n A 1 1 lr tves and California.' The Spaniards accuse the United States of being a cowardly nation, and profess to believe that we would not tight under any circumstances. "Havana is In the depths of poverty. There Is no business doing, the taxes hava been raised enormously and the main supporters of the poorer families are In tne field with oneanny or the other. It Is a common thing to see women and chilJren Bleeping In the streets at night and becgars aoouna on every siae. me ingieterra Hotel, the best in the city, is doing no business at all. In time of peace every bat tha arrives usually brought from fifty to a hundred persons to this hotel. On the steamer upon which I arrived there were two pisaens;vrs for the Hotel. Another hotel will close May 1 and many Cuban and American brokers doing business in Havana will leave the city then, declining to renew their licenses, which explro at that date. "AH the prisons are now full. They are neavuy guarded by Sn.nlsh soldiery, and one can hear the cries of the prisoners from , the windows. It would be death for a foreigner to approach near the prisons, and dangerous for him to- looc. up at the win dows. .Whether or not they are murdering .people in Moro castle no one knows. At any rate the prisoners disappear. A Cuban lady of wiiom 1 heard was vifitlng her hustand weekly, he being confined In the caat. Suddenly the authorities put her off, raying Iter husband 'could not be peen at that time. Finally, after six weeks, thev told her that the best thing for her to do was to go into mourning. That is the only clew she ever received as to the fate of her htifband. He either 'cd naturally or was pur to ceatn. "There is little or no discipline among the Fpanish trccps. While marching they carry their cuns and walk as they r-lease. and the officers em never to interfere. One day - villi I was la Havana croup of from two

to eight soldiers suddenly appeared In the streets. They seemed dazed and alarmed. We found cut later that there had been a skirmish with the Insurgents In the suburbs and that these soldiers had become terrified and fled into the city for safety." One American who stands up for his rights and those of hl3 countrymen, Mr. Mencken says, is Cantaln Randall, commander of the steamer Olivette, running between Tampa and Havana. While the Olivette was at Havana a few days ago a Cuban, who was a naturalized citizen of the United States, boardtd the ship with his daughter to sail for Tampa. He found something WTong with his tickets and went ashore to correct the mistake. The daughter became alarmed and appealed to a Spanish officer for protection, wnen the man raised his hand to strike her. Captain Randall rushed to the girl's assistance. He seized the officer and threw nlm across the deck. "Don't you dare to strike anybody on board this boat." he said to the Spaniard. "If you try any more business of this kind, you good-for-nothing fellow, I will break your neck and throw you overboard." Captain Randall then told the Spaniard that the United States monitor Amphltrite was at Key West, anu that he would send her over and blow up Moro Castle. He told Mr. Mencken Jokingly that the monitor practiced with her guns' occasionally, and that every time the Spaniards at Key West heard her shoot they "bled at the nose from feer." That the Insurgents will win Mr. Mencken has little doubt. He bases his belief upon the statements that the enthusiasm of a majority of the resident Spaniards Is lukewarm: that the flower of the island Is in the Insurgent army; that the sympathies of the world are with the revolutionists, and that the latter are constantly receiving supplies and equipment for recruits that pour in. The Story Not Yet Confirmed. WASHINGTON, March 29. So far as can be ascertained nothing has been received here regarding the reported firing on the American schooner William Todd by a Spanish gunboat off the Isle of Pines. For the purpose of informing himself of the facts in the case, the Spanish minister, Mr. Dupuy de Lome, has communicated with a friend at Kingston, Jamaica, at which place the vessel has arrived, but up to to-night had not received any reply.

Snnday Amnienient of the Dons. BARCELONA, March 29. This city had the anti-American demonstration ' to-day which has been a regular feature of the Sun day festivities or several weeks past. The throngs of promenaders who listened to the band concert displayed a lively enthusiasm when the band played patriotic airs and their patriotism tock the form of publicly burning an American flag. No further disturbances, however, occurred. AROUND THE WORLD IS 40 DAYS. Effect of the Completion of the Rail road Across Siberia. New York Sun. - Reports from the line of the Transsiberlan railroad indicate that central Asia is soon to feel some such Impulse of growth as came to many parts of our West with the development of. railroads beyond the Mississippi. The cities of Kourgane, Tchellabinsk, Petropavlovsk, Omsk, Tomsk and others along the line of the new railroad have already felt the impulse. Crowds began rushing into the country last summer and autumn, and although the line to Tomsk was opened only In December, the city now has electric lights In lis streets, and there and at the other cities named' new stone houses have been going up. Even the Siberian winter could not entirely coot me araor ox tne itu3sians. But aside from the spectacle of a sudden development of modem civilization in Asia, the Transsiberlan railroad has an interest for mankind from the fact that this line is materially to shorten the Journey around the world. It is only about twenty years since a Journey around the world in eighty days seemed remarkable. It la now easily done in sixty-five days. A ship of the Peninsular ana utrientai line sails from I3rinaist, Italy, every Sunday evening for Bombay. On the Friday evening before the Peninsular and Oriental express, crossing the continent by rail to Brindisl. leaves London with malls and passengers for the eastward-bound steamer. That steamer reaches Aden in nine days and Bombay in fifteen days, so that on reaching the latter point her passengers are usually sixteen and one-half days from London, as the vessel is due at 3 a. m. These ships, though not especially 'swift, are extremely regular In their time of arrival. Going on eastward, the passenger reaches Hong Kong thirty-one and a half to thirty-two and a half days from London, and Yokohama pn the average forty-three days from London. The journey thence to London, across the Pacific, the continent of America, and the Atlantic, has been made in twenty-one days, so that If tho traveler makes close connections at Yokohama he accomplishes hU journey round the world in from sixty-three to sixty-four days. Most of this journey is made on the ordinary rchedule time of railroads and steamboats, though the twenty-one days' journey from Yokohama to London was the result of a speciil effort. The ordinary schedule time for that part of the Journey Is, however, much faster than the schedule time of any equal distance on the journey from London to Yokohama -because the ships that cross the Pacific are swifter than those of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, while the train service across this continent Is the swiftest in the world for such a distance, and, of course, there are no swifter merchant ships than the best of the Atntlc liners. There are no delays at ports In the voyages across the Pacific and the Atlantic, as in the tortuous voyages of the Peninsular and Oriental ships through the Red sea and around the continent of Asia. There are about 110 degrees of east loneitude between London and Yokohama. .and it requires forty-three days to make the journey, while between 1 okohama and London are 230 degrees of longitude and these are covered in from twenty-one to twenty-three days. ' Of course the distance actually traversed In the first part of the Journey is nearly as great as that In the last part and much less of it is by rail. It Is the lack of rail communication across Asia that makes the journey round the world so Jong ni It now is. Europe and Asia being "traversed by rail the whole remaining water journey would be made by swift ships with few stops. The Journey by rail from London to Moscow Is now made in from three and a half to four days. The Journey from Moscow to Tomsk has already been made in eight days, with several uncompleted bridges between Oraskano and Tomsk, and delays sometimes of .many hours at intermediate stations. When all Is in proper running order the J.oucney from Moscow to Tomsk will be made in five or six days. In spite of the very moderate rate of spetd attempted on the Transsiberlan line. Tomsk will then be about nin days from London, and when the Transsiberlan line is completed the Journey from London across Asia wU be made in about nineteen or perhaps twenty days. The Journey across the Sea of Japan from ladivostock, the terminus of the Transsiberlan road, will not occupy more than two days at most, and with swift steamers such as those In service on the Pacific, could be shortened so as to bring the nearest seaport on the west coast of Japan within forty hours of Vladlvostock, and Yokohama within twenty-two or twenty-three days of London. Add to this twenty-one days for the Journey eastward from Yokohama to London, and the trip around the world 13 made in forty-three or forty-four days, or in the Jlme now occupied in the Journey from London to Yokohama. Almost the whole gain Is made by reason of the Transsiberlan railway, which makes the route vastly more direct than at present. In fact, the greater part of the Journey will then be made within the belt lying between the fiftieth and sixtieth parallels of north latitude. This calculation is based upon the moderate speed of the Transsiberlan railway. Could the speed of Its express trains be made to approach that of our fastest transcontinental trains, the journey might be shortened by at least two days, and might by special expedition at all points be brought down to half the time of Mr. Fogg's famous Journey. There 13 a possibility cf even further expedition of the Journey by means of swift steamers directly from Vladlvostock to some port on tho Western coast of this continent. - Ohttnary. .NEW ORLEANS.

BRADSHAW A FORGER

MORB WRONGDOING CHARGED TO THE DOOXE COUNTY TRUSTEE. No Tidings from the Fn kI five n ratal Attempt to Commit Marder and n Lynching: Hoax. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., March 29. The excitement occasioned by the disappearance of Hiram Bradshaw, the defaulting trustee of Clinton township, Boone county, about two weeks ago, has not abated In the least. That he was without money was asserted by his friends, but since he was aware that his bondsmen would not have prosecuted him had he remained here and showed an Inclination to pay the shortage in small payments as he 'became able the fact that he absconded led to the rumor that there might be other irregularities in Bradshaw's method of doing business which had not yet come to light. A detective was at once employed and a thorough examination of Bradshaw's actions for the past year was made. It developed the fact that the missing trustee had not only . appropriated the township funds, but had apparently signed the names of his wealthy neighbors to notos, and as a result there are a number of others mourning his departure besides his bondsmen. Bradshaw was also given to the habit of cashing "bogus" township orders, as evidenced by the attempt he made on the day of his departure to dispose of $600 to Griffiths & Potts, of Indianapolis. The suit recently instituted by Bradshaw's bondsmen, In which they asked to be released from further liability, came up In the Boone Circuit Court Saturday. It was learned that the shortage in township funds amounted to $1,2C0, to eay nothing of the school funds, which will probably raise the amount considerably. It is also alleged that the Sheridan State Bank holds a note for 1200 which had been drawn by Bradshaw, with Charles Miller, a wealthy fanner, as security. Miller pronounces the note a forgery as far as he Is concerned. Samuel Rodefer. a wealthy broker of this city, is very anxious to learn Bradshaw's whereabouts. A day or two prior to his leaving Bradshaw called at Rodefefs residence and offered for sale a note signed by Joseph Payton and calling for $95. As Payton's paper is considered first class and the discount being liberal, Rodefer bought the note. After Bradshaw had gone Rodefer made Inquiries of Payton concerning the genuineness of the note, and ascertained that it was a forgery. That a decided effort is being made to locate the defaulter Is certain, and if captured he will be, prosecuted. Those who were believers in his honesty and good Intentions when his trouble first became public are having their doubts dispelled with the developments of each day. Cashier Empson T. Lane, of the Lebanon National Bank, who was decidedly reluctant about believing Bradshaw would do anything criminal and who knows more about Bradshaw's past life than any man in Lebanon, says he was never more surprised in his life. He still believes he will return and give hlmseif up to the authorities. . A report Is current here that Bradshaw has been heard from in Canada and has requested his family to Join him, and has sent them money for that purpose. This is, according to Bradshaw's wife, unfounded. She seems firm in the belief that he has com mitted suicide, and says his body will ultimately 'be found at or near Zanesville. O.. where, it has been asserted, he went rrom here. Bradshaw Is about thirty-five years of age and has light hair and mustache. He Is about medium height and weighs 145 pounds. He was a prominent church member and a leader in politics in his neighborhood. He leaves an interesting family. The Circuit Court Saturday pronounced Bradshaw a defaulter and declared the office vacant. The vacancy will be filled by appointment. AXDIinSON INDUSTRIES.

Ex-President HnrrUon Points Out Some That Should Be Improved. Ladies Home Journal. The laws the President is to enforce are. of course, only the laws of the United States. With the matter of resistance to the laws of a State he has nothing to do. save as I shall presently explain. But the power and duty o the President to sup press mob violence happening in the States s Droader than the old thought and prac tice In such matters. During the great railroad strike of 1877 the United States troops were not, I think, used in any case except when the Governor or Legislature of the State called upon the President for aid, under section 4 of article 4 of the Consti tution, which declares that "the United States shall protect "the States against In vasion; and, on application of the Leglsature, or at the executive (wnen the Legis lature cannot be convened), against do mestic violence, and except, also, to sup port tho United States Marshals in making arrests on process from the courts. At some points during the strike or 1877 the strikers thought to evade the interference of the President and of the United States courts by permitting mall cars to be run. while cutting' off all freight and passenger traffic. The question whether the stoppage or passenger and freight traffic between the States was not an offense against the United States was not much considered, if at all. In some cases where particular railroads were In the hands of receivers appointed by the United States courts, in terference wtth the running of trains on such roads was treated as & contempt cf the court, and some persons were arrested and punished for contempt. subsequently a broader view was taaen of he powers of the United States courts and of the President, and a jurisdiction was exercised by each that had not before been exercised, but was clearly, withlr the scope of their constitutional powers. It was held nat a mall train was composed not only or postal cars, but of such other cars as were usually drawn with the postal cars in the same train; that the railroad companies couid not be required to run mail cars, when pre vented by violence from hauling with- them other coaches assigned to the train, and that any cutting out of cars from a mall train was an irterference with the transpor tation of the United) States malls. So it was held that the stoppage of trains freight or passenger running from one State Into another that is, conducting interstate com-mercer-or the tearing up of or obstructing tne tracss over which such interstate com merce was carried, was an offense against the peace of the united States. Such an offense may be enjoined by the courts, and the army of the .United States used by tha Presideht to restore order without waiting for any call from the State Legislature or the Governor for assistance. It is not "do mestic violence," in the sense of the section just quoted, but an attack upon the powers of the national governmert, and neither the request nor tne consent of the State Is needed to give the President a right to use the means placed in his hands by the Constitu tion to preserve the peace or the United States and to see that the malls and Inter state commerce are not stopped nor Impeded by violence. A strike of violence affectlrg a street railway in a city, or a shop, or factory, or ccal mine, or other local interest, or a riot raised for the lynching of a pris oner charged with an otiense against the State all these must be dealt with by the State authorities, save that, as has been seen, the President may be called upon for aid by the Legislature or Governor. There is. however, a class of persons In the States to whom the direct protection cf the United States is due. though no proper leg islation has yet been passed to make it ef fective. I refer to the citizens or roreign countries who, under treaties we have with such countries, are domiciled In the States. and to whom such treaties guarantee tne protection of the law. -As yet Congress has not legislated to give the United states courts jurisdiction of prosecutions for of fenses against such persons, in derogation of their treaty rights. The killing of some Italian subjects In .New Orleans, in jiarcn, 189L and the demand of the Italian govern ment for the punishment of the offenders and for an Indemnity, brought this strange and unsatisfactory condition or things very stronsly to the attention of our government. The United States had made a treaty with Italy giving certain rights to the subjects of that kingdom living in tnis country. let when the demand was made that the offend ers should be tried and punished we could only say the United States is powerless; we have left that to the State authorities and can only Fuggest that proceedings be taken bv.them. This was manifestly unsatisfactory. The United States made the treaty. Italy could not make a treaty with Louisiana, nor demand an indemn ty from her. In a message to Congress the resident said: . ' . "The lynching at New Orleans In aiarcn last of eleven men of Italian nativity by a mob of citizens was a most deplorable and discreditable Incident. It did not, however, have its origin In any general animosity to the Italian people, nor in any disre spect to the government of Italy, with which our relations were of tne most rnenaiy character. The fury of the mob was di rected aeainst these men as the supposed participants or accessories In the murder of a c:ty officer, l ao not anuae to tnis as mitigating In any degree this offense against law and humanity, but only as affecting the international questions which grew out of it. It was at once represented by the Italian minister that several of those whose lives had been taken by the mob were Italian subjects, and a demand wa3 made for, the runlshment of the participants, and for an indemnity to tne famines or tnose wno were killed. The views of this government ns to Its obligations to foreigners domiciled here were fully stated in the correspondence, as well as its purpose to make an investigation of the affair with a view to determine whether there were present any circumstances that could, under such rules or duty as we naa Indicated, create an obligation upon the United States. Continuing the President further said: "Some suggestions growing out of this un happy incident are worthy the attention of Congress. It would. I believe, be entirely competent for Congress to make offenses against the treaty ngnts or foreigners domiciled In the United States cognizable In the federal courts. This has not, how ever, been done. It seems to me to follow, in thl3 state of law, that the officers of the State charged with police and judicial powers In such cases must, In the consideration of international ques tions growing out of such Incidents, be re garded In such sense as federal agents as to make this government answerable for their acts in cases where it would be answerable if the United States had used its constitu tional power to define and punish crimes against treaty ngnts. Like Incidents have frequently occurred and will occur again, and Congress should so legislate as to give the United States courts appropriate powers to protect those who are here in tne "peace or tne united States." Draws the Line on Obituary Poetry. Martinsville Republican. The Republican regrets that it has been found necessary this week to exclude from its, columns three very pretty and touching selections of poetry appended to obituary notices, and also regrets that lack of space and time makes It necessary to exclude these articles as a rule. The editor s des:re to avoid offending grief-stricken relatives has prevailed a few times and resulted in the publication or such poetry, but the Republican needs all of its space for legitimate news, and, while it wants all the facts about the life, death and burial of every deceased person, yet it cannot use the poetry that fre quently accompanies in a account, ine republican makes no charge for obituary no tlces and thanks Its friends for furnishing the facts that give the news about one s death at the time of the death. But these poems will not be published for the reasons above given, unless accompanied by the cost of extra trouble 5 cents a line ana a card of thanks will be charged for at the same rate. It should be remembered, too, that this price Is not fixed for the purpose or secring the ree for publication, but to avoid the necessity of publishing them.

FOt'R PEOPLE KILLED IX A ntRXRO TEX ESI EXT AT SEW YORK. Trro Others Seriously Injured by Jumping; or Falling: from the Duildlnff Many X arrow Escapes. NEW YORK, March. 29. Four people were killed and two Injured in a Are which started early th!s morning in the three?tory, business and tenement building. No. 274 Hudson street. The dead are: THOMAS MALLER. twenty-three years old, a fireman on the steamship St. Louis, suffocated. ARCHIBALD GROGAN. thlrty-eignt years old, a waiter, suffocated. MARY M'MAHON. single, twenty-two years old. suffocated. MAttGAllLrr it yak, sixty years oia, single, died on the way to the hospital frcm injuries received by Jumping from a window. The injured are: KATE HIGGINS, thirty-five years old. les fractured by falling. EDWARD WALSH, twenty-nine years old. foreman, internally hurt by falling from a ladder. The burned building was one of a rowT of three-story structures owned by the Trinity Church Corporation. The ground floor was occupied by John H. Eggers, a dealer in confectioners' supplies, and the two upper floors were occupied by several families as dwellings. The second floor, immediately over the confectioner's quarters, was occupied for the most part by the family of Thomas MoManus. The McManus family consists of Mr. and Mrs. McManus, two sons and two daughters. Twelve other rooms on. that floor are used by the family of McManus, while three rooms in the rear portion of the floor were occupied by a Mr. and Mrs. McMahon and a young man named Mailer, the steamship fireman, who was boarding with them. Oa the third floor were a number of families. It was in the apartments of the McManus family that the fire originated, so far as the police and the firemen are able to determine. Nicholas McManus, one of the sons, who slept in one of the back rooms of the suite, was awakened by the smell or smoke. He turned in an alarm and awakened the tenants. It was apparent that the lives of many were in danger, for the smoke had permeated every part of the house and the flames were burning briskly. All of the McM anuses were able to make their way down the stairs to the street be fore exit In that direction was cut onT by the flames. Nicholas McManus succeeded in helping several of the people out by leading them down the stairs through the blinding smoke in the hallway. It was among the tenants on the top floor that the chief danger lay. Some of them ran to the roof and escaped in that direction, but others sought to get down by the stair way. Miss Margaret Ryan and Miss Kate Higgins, one of the household, on being awakened, ran to the front windows on the third floor where they .ived. The firemen had already airlved and ladders had been placed on the front side of the house to help take out the tenants whose lives were In danger. On one of these ladders was foreman Walsh. As he was ascending a burst of flame and smoke shot out of one of the windows and he was sent reeling to tne street. As Walsh fell Miss Ryan leaped from the window to the sidewalk, and Miss HIgglns. apparently partly over come by the smoke in the rooms above, fell to tne grouna at almost the same time. An ambulance was sent for, but Miss Ryan was unconscious when placed in the conveyance and died before the hospital was reached. Walsh was taken to the hospital at the same time. He Is badly but probaDiy not aangerousiy nurt. After the names had been extinguished a search of the building was made and the bodies or Thomas Mal.cr, Archibald Grogan and Mary McMahon were found. All of the persons found dead had been suffo cated before they were able to escape. How the fire originated cannot be deter mined until a thorough Investigation is made. The property loss will noc exceed 115,000. FIRE AND ACCIDENT, nun In ess Part of a Town Unrneil-Fall of n-llrldfte Crowded with People. ' WHEELING. W. Va..

Philadelphia Record. For several nights E. J. Radcliffe. of "The Sporting Duchess," has been the recipient ot beautiful white roses from an unknown admirer. On Wednesday he received a fine red one. In the center ot which was a pearl pin of unique design. The pearl was In the grasp of a hand of gold. It' was nothing strange to find flowers and scented D'liet doux at the stage door, but the pin made him exceedingly curious. He tooK notice of the florists addresa on the box containing the gift, and determined to make inquiries. On Thursday he sought the horticulturist, but could learn nothing from hira of the sender. He admitted the flowers were from his store, but further information he would not impart. Radcliffe tried to bribe him, but without avail. He left the bower of Flora, completely mystified. On reaching his hotel he found a note, evidently from the fair one that sent the roses. It ran: "Mv Dear Mr.. Radcliffe I heard you ask my norist this atttrnoon for the name of the sender or flowers addressed to you at the theater. He would not be bribed. You piled him with questions, while his assistant made up the buttonhole you will receive to night. Please do not make rurther inquiries. I will never meet you. I dare not. 1 must be content to remr.ln, "AN UNKNOWN ADMUtER. On entering the theater at 7ul, Itadcliffe found a little box containing a red rose. It was of a deeper hue than the one which held the pin, received the night 'before. After the performance, in a' weu-xnown fashionable cafe, where disciples of litera ture, art and the drama gather, Radcliffe sought a table atoof from the others, just nodding as he passed many friends. He wished to think the matter over quietly. But a man of his repute can rarely enjoy a few moments' solitude. Soon he was surrounded by intimates. "Bah." he raid to himself. 'Til think no more about it." "What's the matter. Ed?" asked Sam Myers; "you seemed to be 'down In tne mouth all evening." "Oh! nothing much. A rose, a pin. a note ani mystery, that's all." replied Radcliffe. "Mystery." reiterated Neilson. "Your answer is vague enough to make a sphinx curious." "You see thl3 pin?" asked Xhc almired actor, pointing at the gold hand helping the pearl, in his scarf. "Well, a history I wish to fathom belongs to it. 1 am completely in the dark, and may remain unenlightened until doomsday, if an accident does not occur; for I am convinced that by nothing but lapsus linguae or Deo volente shall I unravel this mystery." Thereupon, Radcliffe told the story from beginning to end, a plain, unvarnished re cltal of the flowers and pin episode. As men usually do, his friends laughed and thoucht It a quaint romance without a climax. The conversation turned on other topics, ani acquaintances with their friends enlarge I the merry circle of Bohemians whfih had gath ered at Radcliffe's table. The story, told and nearly forgotten, sunk beneath experiences of its aike related by several actors, artists and members of other professions

Af:er introducing his friend a fine, stalwart man. of perhaps forty he drew a chair up next to the actor's and sat down: hi? com?nlon fat opposite. The newcomer had net clearfy fpoken the cognomen of his friend e had Just Introduce!. "What name?" whispered Radcliffe la. hist acquaintance's ear. "Mellor," was the reply. "He has the most beautiful woman in this city or a. wife. Only married three years. Sae Is only twenty-two years eld." ."Old enough to be her father, eh?" "Almost. He is exceedingly Jralous of her Keeps her chained up at his house out of town so he thinks. But I see her freqa r.tly on Chestnut street during the day. Tcu ought to see her, Ed: she Is positively a crtature to be immortalized." During the above asides, Mellor was looking at Radcliffe searchingly. There was a. terrible expression on his face, and nla. eyes sparkled fiercely. Radcliffe, turningfrom his new found friend, saw Mellor's face. "What's the matter?" said the actor, surprised and puzzled by the look on his vis-a-vis's countenance. "Where did ' you get that pin?" aked Mellor, rising from his chair, and pointing across the table at the hand of gold and. pearl in Radcliffe's tie. He had come In after the story was toid! concerning It. At once several tongues were ready to repeat the mystery to Mellor, butf the actor quickly realized that something was wrong. He silenced his friends by ft gesture. "Why, have you ever seen a pin like it before?" ; "Yes," emphatically replied Mellor; "my wife had one exactly like it. I designed it before I married her. It is symbolical. Thehand is mine and she he Is the pearl. This morning I noticed that she did not wear rt. She said it w?.s lost. Radcliffe surmised the struggle a man of refinement was undergoing. Mellor's far was flushed wth passion, and though he hao betrayed his jealous disposition he stood anxiously awaiting the words wh.h were to fall from the actor's Hps pertaining to the pin how he became the possessor of It. Lvery man at the table but Mellor ani his friend. who had introduced him to the circle, knew the story now from beginning to end. The silence was terrible for the epace of a minute. All eyes had been on Mellor; now they fell on Radcliffe's smiling face. "Well." sa'.d he, with superb sang froiL "it is all very strange, yet this must be your wife's pin." Mellor moved uneasily backwards, and thu lieteners' faces grew dark. Radcliffe talmly took the pin from his tie and handed it to 311 lor ssyin t "I bought it for the merest trifle from ft man at the theater. He saiJ he found It on the street near-by, after the matinee oa Wednesday. 1 am happy to restore It tc you, for I'm sure that your wife has been inconsolable since its loss." After Mellor and his friend left every rcaa shook Radcliffe warmly by the hand hearty grasps which required no words. LIQUOR. IX MASSACHUSETTS. Vote on License Shows the State Is a LonR Way from Prohibition. Boston HeraCd. The vote taken at the various town meeting's held on Monday on the license question makes It evident that a good deal of missionary work will ned to t done la the country districts of Masachupetts before the people of this State can be brought to believe in the advantages of total abstinence. ' Most of us dwellirs In cities hold the .opinion that th popular demand for theBale of intoxicating beverages is a demand based upon the needs of a foreign-bora population, and that in the country districts, where the people are the result by descent of several generations of American citizens, there Is a willingness to forego the sale, if not the use, of intoxicating liquor as a means toward improving the general social condition of the people. This theory Visa nt viiiriiP a -nn Mpmhlfi baais to stand ' upon, but the fact that in a number of . . i i . 1 1 country towns wnere tne population is made up largely of those of foreign birth there was a vote either in favor of license, or very nearly so, makes it evident that th foreign-born citizen Is not answerable for all the weaknesses of humanity. In the towns near Bostcn a large number have voted no license who would vote against a general prohibition bill, this local no license vote being in thousands of instances due to a realization of the fact that if the people want liquor to drink they can get it by going to Boston, and that, with thia opportunity in easy reach, there is no reason why the surrounding towns and cities should encourage the estaolishment of liquor faloons within their own territory. Possibly this is not a high moral plane to occupy, but It is one that is occupied by a large number cf citizens who. while they vote on this, account for no license, would feel constrained, if the issue were put, to yota against prohibition. lean now be devoted to oth'cr ilts former delightful 6mcllinpj and: ! delicious tasting contents arc dupli- i i catcd in quality and flavor in None Such Mince Heat, a pure, wholes j some, cleanly made preparation for mince pics, fruit cake and fruit 1 puddings.
