I Brilliant Career of .fudge James G. Jenkins of Wlsconniii. Judge James G. Jenkins of Wisconsin, appointed by President Cleveland to succeed Judge Walter Q. Gresham on the bench in this district, was born at Saratoga Springs, N. y., on Jan. 13, 1834. His father was a couain of Gen.

On the death of Chief Justice Edward ti. Hyan in November, 18,s'J. he was urged for a position on tha supreme bench by members of the bar of both political parties.

Robert Dell Put in 111 Coffin in a Trance Saw Many Friend. Milax, Tenn., March 19. There ismnch excitement in the community of Marshall's chapel over the death of Robert Bell. He apparently died after a short illness of typhoid fever. Ilia body was prepared for burial and preparations made for the funeral. In the midit of the services a noiso was heard in the coffin. Quiekly bursting the lid Mr. Hell eat up, was removed to his home, and in a few hours was feeling much better. He claimed to have been to heaven and saw many friends. His wonderful atoms drew many people to the house. Last night ha became bick and suddenly called out: "They are coming for me," and fell back dead.

A terriblo casualty occurred this afternoon about 5 o'ciocü. The alarm for fire was given, and flames were seen issuing from the house of Chris Arentzen, on Wisconsinet. Neighbors ran in, and had begun removing things when a loud explosion was heard in the rear part of the house. When the fire department came up and the flames had been subdued a search was made, and three bodies were found under the ruins. The bodies were thoüo of Arentzen, hie father, and a boy who lived with the family. They could scarcely be recognized, as they were burnea alnaoet beyond recognition, aDd Eome of their limbs were torn away. Arentzen was a maker of fireworks, and a short time after he came here from Chicago he started a company and began to make fancy fireworks in his own house. A large quantity of gun powder was stored in the place, aud this, no doubt, caused the accident. TO LIBERATE CUBA. Revolutionist at Key West Purchasing Munitions of War. Key West, Fla., March 20. The expedition to liberate Cuba, judging from the present movements, will not end in mere talk.

Senator Yilas aays his nomination will meet tbe cordial indorsement of the people of WUconaia regardless of party affiliation. The nomination of Erncat P. Paldwin of Maryland for first auditor of the treasury is one of the exceptions which President Cleveland made to his rule not to reappoint ex-ofilca-ho!der3.

OT WELL PLEASED

With the Nomination of Frank Burke. Indianians at Washington in the Dumps. BURKE'S RECORD IS BAD And It Will Hurt in tho Future Campaigns. Tho President Not Informed of All the Facta, Everybody Kxpectctl that Kern Would He Selected and No One Supposed that liurke Hail the Ghost ol a Chance to He Struck, by Appointive Ldghtitinc-Mr. Kern Grows Somewhat Sarcastic lit Dlacusslng the Mfttter, , BrRKATT OF THE SeXTIXF.L, I 1120 Nkw York-ave., WASmxuTON. 1). C March 20. ) The nomination cf Frank liurke for U. S. district attorney fell upon Indianians here like a wet blanket. When the repork reached the hotel lobbies no one could believe it. and only when it had been verified by the afternoon papers did they realize the awful predicament the party was placed in by this nomination. Members of cenpreea and office-eeekera alike joined in bewailing the appointment of a mau (uainst whom organized labor of the stato was arrayed. With the ex. ccption of Jaoon JJrown, not a member of tho house could be found to ap prove of the appointment. Members representing districts having largo labor votes were especially down-hearted at an appointment which would be laado an issue in the next campaign. Burke's ability was admitted, but his record as a lesielaior was the objection. His legislative record was so well known by Indianians that no on expected to see Burke appointed. His nama was never thought of in connection with the place except by Senator Voorhees and Mr, Brown. John W. Kern's appointment was expected for many reasons. In the firtt place, his appoiutment was the only etate office- asked by Senator Tu r pie, Hawkins and Burke both being first recommended by Voorhees and credited to him. It was generally understood that Turpie would have sutlici.nt influence to land his man. Then Bynum made a strong fiirht for Kern. Kern is a good lawyer, has a clean record and is popular with the rank and file ot the party and strong with the labor element. His legislative record h beyond reproach. Ho neve opposed a just labor bill, has never been the tool oi corporations. Before the latter's nomination he had the courage to take the stump for Cleveland, and will be remembered as the author of the Oranna county resolution which started the Cleveland ball in Indiana arolling. In the campaign he was on the pturup every thy, sometimes making two speeches daily. l'urke'i llecord. On the other hand. Burke stood np in thee senate against every reform measure proposed. Ha was the only democratic member to oppose tho Australian ballot bill and he made a soeech in opposition to its paasaco. lie opposed every labor reform bill and was the bitterest enemy of the Indianapolis charter. He was the open champion of the lobby on the floor of the senate. Before the Chicago convention he called Cleveland a "stuffed prophet" and other names, and durinjthe campaign he sulked and refused to lift his hand to elect Cleveland. After the election he was the first to come forward for a job. His labor record was so bad that organized labor issued a "blue book" a;ainsi him and in a square fight at the primaries he was defeated for renomination to tho state senate, leading workingmen taking the stump against him. Since his name waa presented for district attorney lahor organizations have passed resolutions against his appointment and they were sent here, lint they never reached the president. No one informed the president of the record of Mr. liurke. Senator Turpie, who was euppoemi to have Kern's aliairs in charts, never hinted to the (president that Burke's appointment would injure the party at the next election. The president, while he will bo held responsible for this bad appointment, is the victim of misplaced confidence. In eome quarters Kern's defeat is explained on account of his location. Indianapolis having Gray for minister to Mexico, they say, should' be satisfied. The Argument waa need against Kern also that he was a ho d-over senator in a close district. But if Kern could not be appointed there were other candidates better entitled to recognition than Burke, and against whom nothing could be said. Thore were Yaughan of ElufTton, Swan of the Fi.-et district, Korbley of Madison, Bickens of Spencer, Shirley of Martinsville, and others. But they were all passed to take up the moat undesirable of the lot. Mr. Kern's Statement. John W. Kern, the defeated candidate, will return home tomorrow. He baa the sympathy cf everyone here, but he doos not ceem to feel the blow aa much as his friends do. Had he been defeated by a hard-working democrat he would have been perfectly satisfied. This evening The Sentinel correspondent found him at the Iligua house, with a party of friends, looking cheerful. In answer to a question I ha made the following statement for publication : "I cannot confess to serious dis appointment. From tha firet I have expressed crave doubts of my success. From a political standpoint the ' appointment is a irood one. Mr. Burke waa o disappointed at Cleveland's nomination that he did no work in the late campaign. This appointment will bring him in line and greatly strengthen our forces in southern Indiana. Mr. Cleveland understands that democrats like - myself work for the party all the harder the mom we are kicked, and so no harm is donb by turning me down Thea oar labor vote

waa getting a little restless, especially In the cities. Mr. Burke's appointment will bring the labor vote in line, and we need apprehend do languor in that quarter in the next campaign. He is especially stronar in labor circles. Take it all in all, tha appointment is a good one. Mr. Cleveland rewards a true acdiy-ied champion and friend and pleases ine rank and file of tha Indiana democracy beyond expression. For myielf, I have a good law business, to which I ah all devote myself until the democracy needs my services, when of course I shall go out and whoop up the boys for Voorhees, Turpie and reform' Notes. Con Cunningham haa returned to CrawfordavilN with a blank com-niaeion for Belfast, which ha Bays will be filled out before next July. Maj. Menzies of Posey county is her in tbe interest of Harlan for postmasterof Mt Vernon. Harlan will receive Congressman Taylor's indorsement. Ilourke Cock ran on the Treildrnt,

Baltimore, March 20, An evening paper prints the fol owing Interview with Mr. Bourke Cockrin, in which he savs: "Mr. Cleveland is a man of strong will, and will make his term of oilice be re membered with pride by his party. That he will uphold his party platform is shown by the policy he outlines ia his inaugural add re 8, and he will follow out that policy to tho end. He is not seriously an antisilver man, and 1 expect that before his term expires he will manifest hi feelings in that line pretty strongly. He practically announced that lie will favor a sale of gold bond-", end there again ho will carry out his views." WILL HE ACCEPT? Stato University Presidency to Do Of lereu Mr. JlarrUon. The trustees of the state university at Bloomington are considering tho advisability of tendering to ex. l'resident Harrison the presidency of the institution, which was recently made vacant by the resignation of l'rof. J. M. Coulter. They havo been looking around for a suitable successor to IVof. Coulter for several we.ka and it was fintlly suggested that it would ba a wipe policy to oiler the place to tho ex-president and urire him to accept it. I'll me r Carr, tho local trustee of tho university, and J. W. Cravens, editor of the I'.!oouiinrfton Uo W,wefoia the city yesterday and stopped at thefirand hotel Both discussed the proposition, and neither could think of any reasons why Mr. Harribon should refuse to accept. Mr. Cravens said the ctlicial tender of the place would likely be made by the tru-.tees withiu tue next few days. WILL HAVE LATE CLOSING A Ono of the Regulations at the World l air. Chicago, March 20. It was practically settled today that whatever the fate of f'unday closing tho rule at the world's fair will be late closing. Heretofore the expectation has been that only on gala day occasions aud perhapa two evenings a week would the great expense of keeping open at night be justified. Chief Knaineer Khsnkland thia afternoon put the matter in a nutshell. He said: "The electrical exhibit ia the finest thins on the grounds. The people will want to see it and thev will be given a chance. This! means that the gates will be kept open until 11 o'clock. Any other ruling would be the utmoet folly." THE WATER WAS LOW, The Boiler Exploded And Four Men Were Killed. Rome, Ia., March 20. At a saw mill seven miles north of here, by the explosion of a boiler which was allowed to run out of water, four men were killed and eeveral wounded. The dead are: JOHN ADAMS, a saw tender, Kt'OENK I ALPS, engineer. TOWNSLKY KOLDOJIK, a workman. KS 1 1 ELM AX, a boy. The owner of the mill and Theodore Llllv are probably fatally injured. Tho explosion completely wrecked tho mill. Two lion ted to Denth. Athens, Ala., March 20. Tho moet damaging fire that aver viaited the town came this morning 4:30 o'clock. It waa diHcoverpd bv some railroad men in tha house occupied by Mrs. It. Lerman, in ; one of the handsomest blocks in town. Two lives were lost. William Chandler, a young man from McKenzie, Tenn.. was one cf the victims. IIo was caught by a failing wall and crushed to death. The other victhu was Oscar Brown, colored pressman of the Alabama Courirr and one of tha most popular colored men in town. He was caught in the Russell building and roacted. Both bodies were gotten out after the fire had subsided. The Iocs will be $75,000. with possibly $00,000 insurance. Another Ki plosion in Homo. ItoMn, March 20. A bomb was exploded this evening at the entrance of tbe Mariegnola palace. The explosion was heard distinctly in the middle of the city although the palace is in the suburbs. The houses throughout the neighborhood were shaken and lor two hundreds yards in every directionwindowe were smashed and plaster was shaken from the ceilings. In the palace every window was smashed, everything was thrown from the shelves and much of the furniture was broken. The stones at the entrance were thrown out of place and a deep hole was made in the ground. Hundreds of persons ran from the houses in the neighborhood and gathered at the entrance nntil a company of soldiers arrived and cleared the streets. It was found that nobody had been injured, although the damage to property had been considerable. No arrests have been made. ' A hca re in Madrid. Madrid, March 20. The cabinet met in extraordinary session today in consequence of a report that French troops had landed in San Domingo. The question of American and French interference ia San Domingo continues to cause much excitement in Spanish political circles. The uiinielry are, it is understood, determined to resist any expression, eith er upon the part of the United Slates or 1 France in SanD ou ingo, but the report that the rreuch had landed troops there does not appear to have been confirmed. Paris, March 20. Nothing is known in this city going to confirm the advices said to have been received in Madrid to the effect that French troops had made a landing ia Ban Domingo.

THE HAR0H1C LOST

Her Life Boats Found Well Out at Sea, But Without Any News as to Her Misfortune. STILL HOPE FOR THE CREW Which May Have Been Picked Up by a Vessel. Story of the Captain of the Ship Coventry. The Sarnia Safe, Ifer Ixnf Delay Ite lnjj Caused by is Broken Shaft, Which the Knglneers Find Great Dlfllculty In Repairing The Driftins of the Vessel for a Time, After Which a Hard Gale and Heavy Sea Toss Her About. Br.CMEX.March 20. After long-coatinueil anxiety regarding the fate of the White Star freight steamer Naronic, which sailed from Liverpool Feb. 11 for New York and which haa not since been heard of, intelligence hna been received showing beyond any doubt that the vessel is lost. The British steamer Coventry, Capt. Wilson, from Fernacdina, Feb. 10, arrived in this port today. She reports that at 2 o'clock on the morning of March 4, when in latitude 42 north, lonsitude 4S west, she passed a lifeboat, painted white, bearing the name "Naronic." The boat waa floating keel ujward. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day another lifeboat from the N'aronic was passed. This boat gave evidence of having encountered heavy weather. The mnst and oars of the lifeboat had been lashed together and attache 1 to the painter and then thrown overboard as a sea anchor to keep the boat's head up to the wind. Judging from appearances neither of the boats had been looyr adrift. The position of the drifting boats was about south by west of Sable Island on the banks of Newfoundland. There is a chance that the occupun's of the boats wera picked up by a passing vessel. 'iL. r --A "iv "ft THE XAHONIC. Capt. Wilson, the concmander of the Coventry, states that he was not able to plainly decipher the name on the first lifeboat passed by the steamer, thoutth there was no doubt in his mind that it was "Naronic." The boat being capsized rendered the reading of the name almost impossible, as the letters reversed could only be seer, when the ends of the boat were tnown clear out of the sea. When the Coventry came up with the second lifeboat the name painted on it was plainly discernible. This second boat was half filled with water. Its appearance led Copt. Wilson to believe that its occupants had been taken aboard corns vessel, after which the boat was cast adrift. THE REPORT AT LIVERPOOL. A Hope That Sorneot the Crew Were ricked lTp by a Yeas?!. Liverpool, March 20. Officials of the White Star line company here have received the full report of the steamer Coventry which arrived at Bremen today. They state that their advices show that tbe last lifeboat of the Naronic passed by the Coventry was recently occupied by a portion of the Naronic's crew and they expressed the hope that the occupants had been picked up by a passing veseel. They also expressed tho hope that tho occupants of the other boats had been rescued. All doubt aa to the fate of the Naronic has been dispelled by the sighting of her .lifeboats. That she is now at the bottom of the ocean cannot be disputed, but the cause of the disaster is, of course, still a matter of conjecture. It may be, judging from the latitude and longitude in which the boats were teen, that the steamer struck either a derelect or iceberg, though it is still rather early in the season for ice to be adrift so far south as the banks. It is hoped that the mystery of the lots of the Bteamer will soon be cleared up by the landing at some port of members of her crew. A vessel which passed Deal today signaled that she bad on board eleven shipwrecked people, and the White Star officials say there is a strong probability that tbey are part of the crew of the Naronic. The arrival of thia vessel is eagerly awaited, as should the shipwrecked persons on board be from the Naronic, all conjecture as to the causes that led to tbe foundering, of the steamer will be removed. THE SARNIA'S EXPERIENCE. Capt. Couchfurn's Account of the Troubles at Sea. Halifax, N. 8., March 20. The overdue steamship Farnia came up from quarantine at 9 o'clock this morning and docked at the deep water terminus. Capt Couchfurn gave the press the following particulars of the accident to bis ship: "The steamer left on March 3 ; on Saturday, the 11th, the ship was 476 miles from Halifax. At 0:30 o'clock the engines were slowed for hot bearings. At 11 o'clock the chief engineer reported that the brasses in the after crank were catling away. The engines were at once stopped and the captain took off the bearing when it waa seen that the ahaft had a combination of fractures and the shaft was turned around. It was decided to disconnect the engines and put the forward crank aft in place of the broken shaft. At 11 p.m. the German tank steamer America came alongside. We signaled that we had a broken abaft, but would be repaired in a few days. There waa a moderate south

east wind and the ehiptwas drifting to

north northwest, making about three- I fourths of a mile an hour. On Sunday the 12th the crew was all eet to work to assist the engineers in ringing peer for ret j moving the abaft. e were then ojj milts from Halifax. At 2 p. ra. the en. giues were all clear for lifting and at 7 p. ra. the broken crank was lifted out and at 11 p. in. the work ot sliding the forward crank aft into the beanuzs was begun. The wind was moderate from south southeast and the ship waa riding easily with a sea anchor out. "At 5 a. m. Monday the work of shifting the ahafiint was llnishedaod the engiueorä began the work cf coupling the after shaft. It was found impossible to break j or cot the broken f halt, and it wait dec Med te drill it through. This caused creat t'elay. The weather remained fine with a southerly wind, but on Tuesday the wind increased, and the ship commenced drifting fast. We were then '."2 miles from Halifax, having drifted fiftv-four miles. On Wednesday tbe engineers were etiU at work drilling the shaft. The weather was foggy and at noon a gale set in from southwest. The engineers were arilling at an average of one hole every three hours at the broken end to fit oa the eccentric fitraps. We were drifting on the Newfound:and coast, being only eixtyfive mile9 from St. " Fierre. Thursday the shaft was broken, tha crank was secured and the engineers began to put the engines together. At 5 p. m. on Friday the engiuea were started and the steamer proceeded slowly. At noon on Saturday enow beiran failing and the wind hauled to the southeast, becoming a gale by night. The ship was hauled un north by west, heading for Sable island, Therd aas a high sea runniug, which dashed over the ship fore and ait, smashing gangway rails and doing other slight damage. At midnight the gale abalod. but there was still a heavy t-ea running. At (i o'clock yesterday morning we eaw a strainer, supposed to be an outward Canadian mail. At noon the weather had moderated, and at 2:30 p. m. we sighted the steamer Newfield looking for us and told her we were proceeding for the harbor." JUDGE LYNCH WAS THERE. Jesso Jones Hunc by a Mob for Shooting Sheriir Burnett. Jf.lmoo, Tenn, March 19. Judge Lynch held a meeting last niht at miJnlght at Jucltsboro, Tenn., and at daylight tha form of Jesse Jones waa found baring to an old-fashioned gate beam a quarter of a mile eagt of tbe town limits. It was the penalty for shooting down Sheriif Jobn Burnett on the south-bound Louisville & Nashville train yesterday morning while he wig attomoting to oxecute the law and aid tho conductor iu protecting the pa'sengers from a gang of Cesperadoes, of which Jones was one. At midnight Jailor Irwin was called to the door of his residence. He looked out upon a court-yard of determined people, and tha leaders at once covered him with rifles and demanded that he unfasten the doors and lead them to Jessa Jones cell. The jailer obeyed the orders, and soon Jones was brought forth. A march was taken up until the barnyard of the Iiev. J. S. Lindsay was reached. Before an old-tia:e beam gate the :nob halted and one of their numbar m )unted the gallows and placed the rope over the top beam. Jonea throughout was remarkably collecteJ. Asked if he bad anything to say, he denied having any connection with tha affair. He was then drawn up and the rope made fast, when the mob quietly dispersed. CONVICTS PLOT TO ESCAPE. Tunnel Pag and Saws and Knives Found in Their Cells. Bostox, March 19. The work of searching the workshops and cells at the etate prison is practically finished and, it is said, the convicts will be put to work tomorrow. No lire-arms have teen found, but enough other contraband articles have been found, it is said, to fill several bushel baskets. Among these aro alungshots, billies, steel taws, knives and a steel hock attached to a eeven-inch wooden handle. In Convict Booth's cell was found a complete plan of the north wing and wall facing the river aud railroad tracks with distances carefully noted. Other evidence of collusion with friends on the outside has also been found, but the warden declines to out close the nature of it. In a corner of tbe iron foundry, scarcely twenty feet from the mouth of the tunnel through which several men escaped to the sewer not long eince, was found another tunnel in process of construction, its presence being concealed by a piece of sheet iron placed over the hole.
