TK I DAY'S FIRE AT BUFFALO. l iremtn Making Search for Bodies Known to be In the Bains. BciTAio, March 19. The ruins of the Richmond Hotel presented a dismal spectacle this morning, and crowds continued to gather in the vicinity. The firamen were still engaged in -Wetting down the ruins, preparatory to making a search for bodies known to be somewhere under the debris, if not eitirely destroyed. The search will be commenced, most likely, some time to-day. At 11:15 this morning the body of a in au was found In the ruins near the south wall. The body was burned, probably, beyond recognition. Three of the four persons taken to the Sisters of Charity Hospital yesterday are ia a very precarious condition. They are Misses Mary Nolan. Fannie Harty and Maggie Mulreck. The girls were employed at the Richmond. Their injuries are frightful, and it Is very uncertain whether they will recover or not. George . F. Michaela, who Is at the general hospital, had a bad night. lie was very restless, but is easier thismocning. Dr. E. H. Norton, the attending surgeon at the Fitch Hospital, said this morning that all of the injured persons under his care were doing as well as could be expected. He thinks they will all recover. Louis Zendman, of New York, says he left seven persons in his room when he sprang from the window to the roof of Bunnell's Museum, and he thinks at least f.ve of them were burned. Arthur Perry, of Weiland, Ont., arrived this morning to search for his brother, who Is missing, and was supposed to have been at the Richmond Hotel on the night of the fire. A gentleman at Tonavanda reports this afternoon that Captain W. H. Shepherd, of Cleveland, whom he met in that city a few days since, intended to come to Buffalo on business Thursday, and was to stop at the Richmond. He has not since been beard of, and a telegram from his family states that they have heard nothing from hin. HOW TflKY ESCAPED DE ITH. Dreadful Experience of Two Guests of the 111 Fated Kichmond Hotel. Albany, N. Y.. March 19. A reporter visited Messrs. Wiliard Weich, Insurance alj aster, anl Klihu K. Smith, traveling salesman for Larrale & Co., thi. morning, 'these gentlemen were guests at the 111 fate 1 Richmond Hotel In Buffalo and reached home this morning. Mr. Welch says: ,-I was awakened by the tinging of the electric bell in my room and hastily drew on my trousers and shoes. I then opened the door of my room, and rs I did so flame rushed in. I slammed tne door shut and reflected for & second. That time convinced me that desperate measures were necessary. Fire had now burst through my bath-room door and was licking up the bed and furnishings. I threw the window up and knew it was my only salvation. The flames fol.owed me with the draft, singing my hair and blisteiing my face. Thoughtfully I put the window down and hung from the sill of a window on the fourth floor. A ladder was put up to me and I got safely to the ground and ran to the Tifft House. My overcoat, trousers and shoes are the only articles I saved. If the electric bell tad not rang I would have per ished, sure. I never want to sleep in a hotel - again." Mr. Smith occupied a room directly beneath Mr. Welch, on the third floor. He says: ' went to ted about 10 o'clock. I came from Toledo and had not had much sleep for a week. Had it tot been for the electric bells all would have perished. I was awakened by them. At Erst I considered It a mistake, but was jumping up when I heard a banging at my door and on opening It found Mr. Woods of Chicago, who was looking for a friend. He told me that the houte was on re and to close my door quickly. I left and followed the balusters to the next story, desiring to get as near the ; ground as possible. In a room here were a lot of gentlemen. They had broken out the glass and I, being m my bare feet, called them to throw me a pillow. They did so, and I put on my trousers. I must have lost the rest of my Clothes in my descent. The court was now a seething mass of smoke and flame. Women yelled and screamed. A ladder was put up to rescue Mr. Welch, and I sprang and caught it on the underside. In my bare feet I ran to the ' XifTt House, where I bought a pair of shoes and borrowed a coat. I then went baca to the build - Ing, and saw the flamea roaring oat of my winCow and destroying my effects." BUSSEY BRIDGE ACCIDENT." J Continuance of the Investigation Before the Kail way Commissioners. Bosfioy. March 19. The railroad commission era this morning continued their Investigation nto the causes of the accident at Roslyndale. W. . LockwOod, of Philadelphia, who has made a special study of the power of a hammer blow delivered by the driving wheels of a loco motive, read a paper prepared for publication in a scientific magazine, in which he demonstrated that the driving wheels of a standard Pennsylvania Railroad engine the drivers be- . Ing five feet eight inches in diameter, the cyllnder eighteen by twenty-four Inches, and the steam pressure 123 pounds would strike a ham mer blow of nine tons at each revolution of - tach pair of drivers, or at a speed of a mile a minute a blow of eighteen tons every seventeen feet, and thia In addition to the weight of the engine. He attributed many of the breakages , Of rails to this cause. George K. Dennett, of West Roxbury, apasenger on the train, testified that he was In the . Crst car three seats from the rear. Jost aa the Car got to the Boston end of tha bridge It cmped jtut aa a horse car will when off the track, The shock was violent enough to throw witness off his seat, and the car went on bumping until it stopped. Witness noticed no snap before the bumping began and noticed no more than the usual swaying of the cars around the curves. He Lad no more anxiety than usual that morning for "we all expected to go down irith that bridge some time." Mr. Crocker What did your anxiety arias .Irom?" WItness-Froa the looks of the bridge. It looked unsafe, and we thought It would go some time. Witness tried to tell the order of the cars, but Could not recollect the numbers. He was sure, however, that It was the fourth car that was broken up beneath tho others, Dd he thought no one got out of it alive. He saw no fire until about an hour after the accident happened. The stove doors were all locked, but some coals Cot out of a broken bottom and set Are to some upholstery. The train was running at about Its usual speed twelve or fifteen mllea an hour. Some five or six years ago he stood on the center of the bridge when a train went over. He never .tried It again, because the bridge swayed and

jarred so. He thought the bridge ansafe from the lightness of its construction for, "It seemed only a mas of threads."

The hearing wsa then adjourned until 2 p. m. Monday. BULLING MAY WHEAT The Chief Topic of Conversation oa ttxm Chicago Exchange. 8pecial to the Bentinc Chicago, March 13. The mysterious "bull" syndicate which is suppoted to be under May wheat is still the chief topic of conversation on 'change. The clioues have cow got W. T. Baker i Co., Warren & Co , Orr d. Cones, and a dozen other brokerage houses acting for them, so that the crowd no longer pretend to keep any track of the deal. Business is spasmodic, the volume of trade being enormous at some times and at other times very light. There Is no question but that this uncertainty regarding the pro' gramme of the alleged cliques is dampening outside speculative ardor. The public are afraid to enlist on a "bull" campaign lest the vast concentrated holdings Le shifted upon their shoulders, and they dare not sell short " for fear of a sauetze. It is generally agreed that while Kershaw & Co. have certainly closed out some great lines of grain they have also bought on a vast scale, so that it is doubtful if their present holdings are not even larger than they were five days ago. Many operators think they are trading in and out of the market with the object of lumbering It up and making heavy deals possible, but It may be noted that the grain which they sold early In the week was bought back at prices which must have netted their principals a scalp of something like tM.OCO. Kershaw represents the Fidelity Bank party of Cincinnati, and it is supposed that Orr fc Comes are acting for the same crowd. At least after a conference wi'.h Kershaw. Arthur Orr came into the pit and bid as though he Intended buying the whole crop, and he has not stopped since. Rosenfeld & Co. have made no pretense of selling out. On the contrary, they boldly declare that they are In for a long pull, and that their principals intend standing by the grain until it pulls them through to a profit. Armour is not often mentioned in connection with wheat now. Jack Cudahy says he knows nothing about the market, except that Armour Is not under It. Still it Is a little strange that Cincinnati, Atlanta. Galveston and several other cities should rush in big buying orders just about the time Armour, who Is traveling, visited them. After discussing all these points, however, the crowd Is as much in the dark as ever. Over and over again tbeyhave figured that May wheat can be '-cornered" for about J20,000,OCO, and then they come back to the old query as to whether the manipulators have so much money, and whether tbey intend to use it Jones, Ream and the Linns now stand to lose about 2 cents per bushel on several millions of wheat. They were fooled by Kershaw's bluff at aell in out, and tLougbt the market was going to smash. Tbu, in watching for ' tips" and "pointers," the trade has largely lost sight of the legitimate situaMcn. Thia Is by no means weak. Export clearances from Atlantic ports exceed those of la3t wetk, while California shipments are dwindling rapidly, and India bas started no grain at all. Minneapolis receipts are heavy, but so are tbtir shipments, as well as those from Duluth, Detroit, Toledo and St. Louis. Cab'es read between the lines are "bullish," and foreign dealers arc asking for offers from Chicago exporters. The "bears," on the otne hand, bsse their hopes on the njar api roach of another crop. Corn follows wheat closely, but receiving houses still expect a big rush in the grain within the next fifteen days before the Interstate Commerce bill goes Into effect. It Is for this reaon that provision men are afraid to "bull" the cereal. Theshipping inquiry for the lower grades is lair. Tork is traded in for settlement only at 1-1. Lard and ribs have been sold recently by Armour X Co., and are weak. THE LAWTON DEFALCATION. Disappearance of the Confidential Clerk of the Firm. New Youk, March 19. The whereabouts of Rufus Y. Klrkland, the confidential clerk and partner of Walter E. Lawton, who absconded Tuesday, taking with him over half a million dollar?, are almost as little known as those ot Lawton. Klrkland has not been at the office of the Xavassa Company for two days, and the same story is told at the office of the Aramoiniate and Oil Company, of which be was also a partner with Lawton. The supposition is that he has gone away as he went to the depot with Lawton, and then toot out attachments against Lawton's property which he himself had a share in. The Sheriff Is still in possession of Lawton's Broadway office, and what books are left are still untouched in the safe. The creditors have not yet been called together, nor has attempt ben made to settle with them. Mr. Jones, ol the Delta Azotin Company, the principal stock of which was owned by Lawton, said to-day that the creditors would not suffer .much, as the attachments he had obtained would be used for the benefit of the creditors In general. The property at Little Ferry, N. J., was worth about 5300,000, and the island of Kavassa would also be attached. No estimate of the liabilities can be yet made, as the Lawton tirm bad paper scattered all over the country. The principal loss, it is believed, will fall on the banks. Ab ram King, of No. 2CI Broadway, who has obtained some J 225,CCO worth of attachments against the estate of Walter E. Lawton, the fugitive phosphate dealer of 81 Broadway, said to-day that the missing man's safe had been opened and found to contain not a dollar that could be applied to the settlement of Lawton's personal estate. The only things found in the safe were the book of the various companies in which he was interested. The safe opening also showed that Lawton bad totally destroyed, not only his check-books, bit his cash-book, ledger and office flies, so that the last straw the creditors clung to that of unravelling the man's mysterious actic - rv-e. material for a Good Novel. Special to the Sentinel. Mi .vciE, Ind., March 19. In the noted case of William T. Bailey, to have himself declared of sound mind, the Jury to-day returned a verdict finding him sane. The evidence on the trial disclosed a state of facts more like romance than actual life. It was shown that In 166 a man named White, at Richmond, Ind., made application to the courts and had Bailey adjudged insane, without his knowledge or presence, and himself (White) appointed his guardian. Bailey made a number ot attempts to have bis guardian removed, but as he was legally of unsound mind could get no hearing in the courts. White died a short time since, and the guardian appointed In his stead brought the case Into court with above result At the time Bailey was adjudged insane he had quite a fortune, all of which was squandered by White, and lor which he will now bring suit against While's bondsmen.

REVEALED IN A DREAM

A Strang Story From Yncenzie3 Relating tha Peculiar DjcoTfry of l Deii Hiij. A. Fort Wajns Boy Accidentally Kills His Ccrcp&nica With i R-fli T ma Fixed fcr the Unveiling of tha Siliiars Monument at transport Killed by HU Team A Cartons rhenomDon Died at Eighty-eight A Lady Missing-Other Specials. Vim l nn sä, March 20. The body ol Johnny Murphy, who has been missing since the night of the 7th Inst., was recovered ia the Wabash under the most peculiar cir cumstances this morning. The find was made by Joseph ("Uncle Joe") Itoseman, the widely known mailing clerk of the Yincennes Postofiice and was a great relief to the di -traded parents of the boy and the community at large, who had no positive proof that Johnny hud been been drowned, and were almost led to believe thathe was still alive, from the rtoort that he was soen a few days ago in Kansas City. Uncle Joe Roseman, however, believed that the boy was in the river, and he made daily trips to the spot where Johnny was supposed to b aye been drowned. Saturday night in a dream he saw the river flowing at his feet and a short distance from the shore a ripple revealed the loo. t ton of the lost boy. The memory of that dream was constantly on his mind. It haunted him while be was at work in the office. The following morning he explained the cau-e ot his agitation to Toi-tmaster Kackley, who told him to knock off work and go to the river and satisfy himself, and he did go, having been impelled to the water's tdge by some invisible power. There he saw the picture of the dream revealed with startling reality. "The ripple itself," said he to your reporter, "stood boldlv out in the foreground. I waited not a moment, but called a boatman, and, taking my scat in the stern of the boat, directed him to row to the spot indicated by the agitated water. There, with my face averted, I reached down and.selzed somethiBg with my right hand, and at the rame instant ordered the boatman to pull for the shore. I found that I had grasped the foot of Johnny Murphy. I wis too much prostrated to render f urther assistance. I can not describe my feelings but I felt a great relief in the realization of my dream." Ihe discovery of the Lo ly. under the circumstance?, as related, has elicited general comment. The less superstitious arc inclined to scoff at the premonition; yet they can not forget the fact that this is the fifth body mysteriously missing that Uncle Joe Roseman has located. It was he who discovered the decomposed remains of Kd Barlein, the Cincinnati barber, for whoie murder in 1879 Henry Berner is now serving a life sentence la the Jeflersoavlllc Penitentiary. Mr. Roseman says in that instance he was impelled by influences similar to those which led to the dUcovery of Johnny Murphy. An Investigation Proposed. Skvmoi r, March 20. A few of the rink and f.le of the Republican party, and who wih themselves to be understood as directors and counselors of that organization, have been long and loud charging that the county officer?, from the highest to the lowest, are now. and many years bave been, a set of scoundrels in tse manipula'itu of the public funds in such a way as to enrich them selves at the expense of the tsx-payers. These same would-be leaders and chief fuglemen of the radical party bave been long crying for an investigation of the county records. In order to put a complete quietus upon the charges so often made by the chronic kickers and grumblers, the Commissioners have given notice that at the June term they will appoint a commission one Democrat and one Republicanwho will possess every qualification for making a thorough and searching examination of the books and all records of the Auditor, Treasurer and County School Superintendent. It may be safely stated in advance that the records of these public f uuctionarles will be found all right But In the face of this the kickers will find something else to kick at. The Cass County Soldiers' Monument. Log a n pe rt, March 20. At a meeting held at the Major's office, Ju'y 18 was the time fixed for the unveiling of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument now being erected at this place.

Quite a sensation has been created among people who bave had occasion to be out between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock p. m., dnring the last few days, by the appearance of a large, luminous point about two inches in diameter, of dazzling brilliancy and the general appearance of a star. It appear to be over the Knobs about northwest of thia city, and for several nights recently remained during the hours Indicated. No one seems to be able to account for thia mysterious light, which certainly can not be a star, nor electric light, for the simple reason that no such star exists and no such light haa been erected on the wild summit of the Knobs The only reasonable explanation ia that It Is the reflection of 6ome electric light aboat the falls or river, projected Into space in a similar manner aa is the celebrated Brocken specter of the Hartz Mountains.
