Not to Be Shaken from His Principles By Patent Protests Against the Wilson Bill. TWO STRONG LETTERS Frankly Setting Forth His Views on the Tariff And Exposing the Insincerity of the Protests. The Indianapolis Con-ressmn n Not Afraid t I)f olnrp His Position in thr Munt Emphatic Planner Ilfpre tentative fuuite r'i Statement Concrrnlng fhe .iiln I meu t Sfcurfd by Mr. Conn. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 2. Congressman Rynum is in receipt of rumerous "latent" protests against the passage of the Wilson bill. Those protests have teen prrpart-d by the protected manufacturers who ire compelling their employee to sign those which are supposed to emanate from lub-r, and Ih '.'nselvc-.s sign those which seek to chow that tha "business interests" canr.ot star.d the prooof-ed reduction in duties. But Mr. Bynum understands the animus and the source of these so-called protests and is unmoved by their threats. He doesn't hedge one bit and apparently he ioen't care who knows it. The other cLiy he wrote two letters on the subject, liie first was to a manufacturer as follows: "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, " WASHING! ON. ü. C, Dec. 20, 1803. '.Messrs. Strickland & Co., Kokorao, Intl.: "D ar Sirs Yours of the 2Sth inst. protesting agair.ot the enactment of the Wilson bill or any similar measure to hand. I. do not concur in your statement 'that if the measure be passed the democratic party will be as d ad as it was In "til. If the democratic party now fails to red-em its judges to reduce fixation and to extinguish the jMjwer cf m on opo lies to plunder the great mass of the people it could certainly have no claim to future support or respect. The organized eft'ort now being made to Intimidate representatives and drive them from the support of a great principle, the foundation of popular government, is evidence to my mind that the interests of the people were never In greater jeopardy and needed more courageous defendeis. The proudest act of my pubjic life will be to vote for this measure. Very rtspctfullv, "W. D. BYNUM." The other letter was in reply to one of the printed protests signed by the employes of George Merritt & Co. of Indianapolis and was as follows: "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, "WASHINGTON, I). C, Dec. 23, 1Sh3. ""Mr. Harry Willard, Indianapolis, Ind.: ".Dear Sir I am in receipt of a petition signed by yourself and others, employes of George Merritt & Co., requesting me. In the most earnest manner, to vote against and to use r.: influence to defeat the Wilson tariff bill. You assert that the passage of the bill would have a most disastrous effect upon the industry which gives you employment and that if you are thus deprived of your means of earning a livelihood or are obliged to work for reduced wages you will hold those responsible who vote for the bill. Members of congress and especially those on the committee of ways and means have been the recipients of similar petitions from different sections of the country. The printed form of the petition, with blanks to be rilled with Lames of state and postoffice as well as of the firm in whose employ the petitioners are engaged, convinces me that the same was not the voluntary act of those whose names are attached, but the inspiration of those who have long been the recipients of an unjust system of taxation and who rather than surrender their power to extort contributions from the great mass of the people are now engaged in the cruel work of threatening their employes with a reduction of wages or a loss of employment thould the proposed measure become a law. The organized effort now being made to intimidate representatives and drive them from the support of a great principle only demonstrates to what base ends selfish greed w ill resort to accomplish its objects. My sympathies are and ever have been with the wage-workers and for that reason I have been an uncompromising advocate of tariff reform. The laboring classes', wHh but few exceptions, have been the victims and not the beneficiaries of the so-called protective sysu-m. Your statement that in case the Wilson bill becomes a law your wage3 will be reduced ha3 no foundation In truth so far as the effects of that measure may operate. The bill provid'-s for rates of duties on woolen cloths of 40 per centum. In other words your employers will have, under the Wilson bill, on woolen cloths a protection of $10 on very hundred dollrrs' worth of goods made in their mill. I unhesitatingly venture the statement that your employers do not pay to their operatives $40 in wages for every' oni hundred dollars' worth of goods sold by them, much less $40 more than the wages paid by European manufacturers for the same quantity of goods. Believing that the Wilson bill is the only remedy for the deplorable condition which now envelopes the whole country and which has gradually crept upon us under and by reason of the insane policy of endeavoring to tax ourselves rich, I si.aii not only cheerfully upport the measure but do all I can to promote its sp--iy enactment Into law. Very truly yours, W. D. BYNUM." an ekkoneois impression. Regarding the Appointment by Rep r- - u t a 1 1 ve Conn. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 2. Consrressi.ian Cooper called the attention of The Sentinel correspondent to some misstatement made by the republican organ of Indianapolis regarding an appointment w hich it was alleged stirred up trouble with Congressman Conn. The appointment in this instance was that of J. Dunn of Bloomington to succeed Mr. Kirk of Plymouth as clerk In the stationery room at the capitol. Thi report was that Mr. Kirk, an appointee of Mr. Conn's, had been removed to get Dunn In. That is not the case, says Mr. Cooper. Mr. Kirk had business matters in Indiana which demanded considerable of hl3 attention, so he called upon Congressman Cooper, informing him that he would be away temporarily.

and asked that ne appoint Mr. Dunn, his friend, to the place until he should re- j turn. This Congressman Cooper agreed j to do, for the place pays only $00 per j - - A i 1? . J

monin ana no one wouia De justineu in coming here from Indiana to fill it for a short time. Mr. Dunn is attending lectures at Columbia university and can afford to accept the position, which he agrees to give up as soon as Mr. Kirk returns to Washington. This change was well understood and there is no occasion for anyone to disapprove of it. CRANK AFTER PRENDERGAST. Commlmilonpil by the Lord to Talk with the AMin. CHICAGO, Jan. 3. A crank carrying a huge revolver and who said he was commissioned by the deity to do good, appeared at the county jail today and asked to see Prendergast. "Five minutes' talk with Prendergast is all I want," said the crank," and he will walk out of prison a free man.'' His request was refused, and, pointing at his weapon, he said he would commit murder If the Lord ordered him to do so. He was promptly arrested and taken to a station house, where he said his name was Fred Names. Names said that the killing of Mayor Harrison was In answer to a prayer for it; that he had made it twenty-four hours before the shooting occurred. IIj said that Prendergast was consequently innocent. Names came to Chicago from a farm near Ottawa. Mich., in July last. He made speeches at the lake front during the meetings of the unemployed last summer and" had frequently attracted attention in Michigan by holding several meetings in country churches there. He is without education and was poorly clad when arrested. He will be held at the detention hospital for an examination as to his sanity. AN ÖTd PIONEER GONE. THE YENERAIILE JOHN TAYLOR OF NEW CASTLE DIES. He Came to This State Many Years Ako Was a Friend of Vi llllnm Henry Harrison -Member of 111 Family tili Lit ins. The pretty little town of New Castle is in mourning today. It mourns because of the death of John Taylor, one of its oldest and best known citizens, who died Wednesday at the advanced age of ninety-one years Sixty-six years ago he settled in the staid, old-fashioned quaker settlement. At that time it was not much of a town, and together with the Elliotts, Goodwins, Hollands, Tolks. Murpheys and many others he made it what it is today, one of the wealthiest and most cultured towns in eastern Indiana. For rmre than half a century he lived in a little white cot tage just south of where the court house now stands. He remembered the fight made by New Castle for the county seat of Henry county and how it finally won the fight and the seat of government was moved from Knightstown. The erection of the court house was an epoch in the history of New Castle. It occurred nearly thirty years ago and since that time the town has steadily improved. It is not a business center, but it boasts of having more wealthy men than any other town of its size in the state. Probably no man in eastern Indiana was hotter known or more universally liked than Mr. Taylor. For more than twenty years he was proprietor of the Taylor house, which formerly occupied the ground where the Bundy house now stands. Mr. Taylor's hotel was well known among the members of the bar, who used to congregate there. He was a prominent mason and was a life-long democrat, having voted for Jackson and every democratic candidate for president since. He had a personal acquaintance with Gen. William Harrison and used to deligrht his friends by tellinpr stories of the days when Mr. Harrison ran for president. On one occasion Mr. Taylor was stopping at the same hotel in Cincinnati with Mr. Harrison. At that time it was customary for the guests to leave their boots outside of the door to be blackened, and the first man up usually got the best pair. One morning Mr. Harrison was seated at the same table with Mr. Taylor, and when he entered the dining-room tha latter noticed that he was limping. "Hello, how are you. General?" asked Mr. Tayloi. "Pretty well, except my feet; somebody has got my boots," answered the general. "I am troubled the same way; suppose we change," said Mr. Taylor. The change was made and it was discovered that the gentlemen had accidentally gotten the boots mixed. Mr. Taylor leaves a family of P children, among whom are Mrs. E. B. Martindale of Indianapolis. George C. Taylor of Chicago and Mrs. R. 15. Smith of New Castle, at whose home Mr. Taylor lived and died. Mrs. Taylor died three years ago at the advanced age of eightyfour. Several years ago the venerable couple celebrated their golden wedding, and it was an event long remembered in New Castle. Mr. Taylor will be burled in the cemetery south of New Castle tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. A HRILLIANT AFFAIR. The Marrianre of Miss YYhltlnir to Senator Faulkner of Virginia. FT. MONROE, Va,, Jan. 3. Of the many brilliant weddings that have taken place in old St. John's church at Hampton during the 250 years of its existence, that of Senator Faulkner and Miss Whiting this afternoon easily heads the list. The day was perfect and the entire lower peninsula turned out to witness the event. At 5 o'clock the party comprising the eight groomsmen and bridesmaids advanced from the wings and formed In the main aisle to receive the bride. The organ and orchestra commence;! playing the wedding march from "Eohenprin" wen a chorus of eight young lady friends of the bride, all dressed in pink chiffon over satin, sang th march as they advanced to meet the bride, who entered at this momant on the arm of the father and passed through the lines thus formed to the chtncel, where the groom and his best man were smilingly awaiting her arrival. They were followed by the blrdal party and ushers who took positions on either side of the altar. The rector, the Rev. Dr. Bryan, proceeded with the episcopal marriage service. The senator and his bride left for th South tonight. Dissatisfied with Harrains. Mrs. Huntwell "Dear me, I thought I'd found a lot of bargains here." "Are the prices away up?"

Two of the Wounded Drinf- Burned to Death P.efore Aid Could Reach Them Fatal Fire lu a. Buffalo DuardliiK House Others Scorched In Making: Their Escape Explosion at Boston. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2. Throe men were killed, four seriously injured and a dozen more slightly hurt in a wreck on the Union Tacific railway near Linwood, Kas., twenty-seven miles west cf Kansas City, at 5:30 o'clock this morning. The wreck was caused by a freight train on th? Rock Island railway, which uses the Union Pacific track between Kansas City and Topeka, running into the rear end of a mixed freight and passenger train of the Union Pacific. Both trains were coming to Kansas City and were in motion when the accident occurred. They were a few minutes late and the Rock Island train was running fast to make up time. The Union Pacific train was near a watertank west of Linwood and was slowing up when the other train crashed into it. The Killed and Injured. Following is a list of the killed and injured: Killed: JOHN ATWOOD, conductor Union Pacific train. Kansas City. - MARTIN, stockman, of Wakefield, Kas. HERMANN SMIZE, stockman. Clay Center, Kas. Injured: George W. Harkins, stockman, of Randolph, Kas., back broken below neck, will die. B. F. Posten, stockman, of Hill City, Kas., badly injured internally. T. M. McCrary. stockman, of Testcott, Kas., back broken at waist, will probably die. C. W. Fagerburg. stockman, Oldsburg, Kas, arm broken and head cut. Casper Ditmer, stockman, ldana, Kas., arm bruised and head cut. Joseph Bertrand, stockman, Concordia, Kas.. nose broken and head badly cut and bruised. William Hardestin, stockman, Delphos, Kas., head cut and arm badly broken. Daniel Taylor, stockman, Belleview, Kas., arm badly bruised and face and head cut. G. W.

Mason, stockman, Concordia, Kas., rib broken. Twenty-Five Pnasenjjers. The Union Pacific train was No. 12, a stock train, due in Kansas City about 7 o'clock. There were about twenty-flve passenegrs on board. The passengers, or mnpt of them, were stockmen from stations in Kansas, who were coming to Kansas City with cattle and hogs. Nearly all of them were sleeping when the accident occurred. Conductor Jay Atwood, who lived at 1431 Madison-ave., this city, saw that a collision could not be avoided and started from the caboose to the coach to warn the passengers, but he was caught between the cars and crushed. His rear brakeman and a young man who was in the caboose saved their lives by Jumping. When the Rock Island engine struck the Union Pacific train it mashed the caboose into splinters and crashed into the passenger coach, splitting it in the middle. A car loaded with hogs in front was wrecked and the next car loaded with cattle was broken open and the cattle escaped. Wreck Catches Fire. Trainmen and passengers who were not seriously injured began at once to save those who were more seriously hurt Four men were dragged from the wreck more dead than alive. Fire caught fromthe stoves and before the dead could be removed the cars were enveloped in flames. The flames spread so rapidly that the men under the debris of the caboose and passenger coach could not be reached. "-"Vint and piteous calls for help were he.Ti, but the men who had been saved were powerless to aid the poor fellows, and soon their cries ceased. To have ventured into the burning wreck would have been certain death. The unfortunate men whom the passengers heard but could not help were Conductor Atwood and Hermann Smlze, a stockman of Clay center and Stockman Martin of Wakefield. Kas. Conductor Atwood was frightfully burned and his body was not reached for several hours. The bodies of the others were burned to a crisp. The Rock Island engineer ana fireman saved themselves by Jumping. The front trucks of the engine were broken off and the wheels dismantled. The Rock Island conductor notified the Union Pacific officials here at once and General Superintendent Palmer took a special train with surgeons and a wrecking crew to the wreck. The relief train returned to Kansas City. Kas., this afternoon with the injured and they were taken to St. Mary's hospital. FATAL FIRE AT BUFFALO. Two Rnrned and Others Injured la sv Cheap Hoarding Ilonse. BUFFALO, Jan. 2. The new year was little more thn twenty-four hours old when Buffalo was visited by one of the most fatal fires in her history. The tscene of the fire which occurred this morning was Mrs. Annie Hackett's lodging house, 12 Swan-st., a four-etory brick building of the tumble-down order. The first floor was used for a saloon and restaurant, the second and third floors were used for sleeping rooms. The beds were In little compartments and like bo stalls in a stable. Shortly before 3 o'clock people passing heard the large panes of glass in the saloon crack and a moment later a cloud of thick, black rmoko and a tongue of

flame darted out of the place. Almost at the same time the front and side win- I .1 a .1 1 1 i i l

IV THREE YEARS IT PAID DIVIDENDS OF " EARLY ? 1,000,000. The Stockholders Decide to Suspend Operations OTrlnjf to the Low Price of Silver Consequent I'pon the Repeal of the Silver Purchase Law. COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. Jan. 4. A sensation was caused today at the annual meeting of the Mollie Gibson mining company by the announcement of a suspension of dividends. As a consequence the stock slumped from $1.43 a share to $1.20 in less tfcan thirty minutes and continued to decline until the close of the local exchange, when it was quoted at $1.10. The Mollie Gibson is located at Aspen and is without doubt the richest as well as the most wonderful silver mine In all the. West. In 1S90 the stock cf thi3 company was kicked around the streets of Denver with no purchasers at 30 cents a share. Soon after this a rich vein of mineral was found. In April, 1S91, and the company paid a. dividend of $50,000 In capital steck of $1,000,000. From this time the stock rapidly advanced in price until at one time it was quoted at $11.50 per share. In June, 1891, the dividends were increased to $150,000 per month and up to Dec 15, 1S93. $3,930,000 in dividends had been paid. All development work was stopped on the mine In July, when the decline in the price of silver came. At that time the company had in Its reserve fund $503,000. It has since paid out in dividends and for labor and new pumps $330,000. In his letter to the stockholders President J. J. Ilagerman says: "The shaft is r.ow down to the tenth level, 770 feet from the surface. The mine contains as rich ore as ever and In as great quantity, but the managers thought it advisable to discontinue all work and the payment of further dividends until the future prospects of silver had been definitely settled." RIVER PACKET GROUNDED. A Prominent Lawyer Killed In nn Explosion Which Followed. PADUCAH, Ky., Jan. 3. The. Evansville & Tennessee river packet W. F. Nisbet grounded on the bar at Panther Creek island In the Tennessee river while en route downward. At 10 a. m. yesterday, while trying to spar off the reef, her nigger boiler, located on the Etarboard side, exploded. The front end of the cabin was wrecked. The hurricane roof was demolished, both chimneys blown off and several parties who were in the gentlemen's saloon struck by fragments of flying metal. James Mitchell, a prominent lawyer of Saltvllle, Tenn., had his head spilt wide open and lived but a few minutes. A negro fireman was scalded and two members of the crew, besides some passengers, were seriously, if not fatally, injured. A young man named White is believed to have been blown overboard and drowned. BLEW OPEX THE SAFE. riaralars Get Away with $.15,000 De. lonfflnir to a. Rank. ROCKFORD, 111., Jan. 3.

TOLEDO'S BIG FIRE

Causing an Estimated Loss of Nearly a Million. It Originates in the Quayle Elevator. WIND CARRIES THE FLAMES Five-Story Buildings Being Gutted in a Few Minutes. Telegraph Communication Cut Off for a Time, The Western Union Reins; Burned Out and the Postal Disabled Assistance hy the Fire Departments of Cleveland. Detroit and Adrian The AVorst Conflagration In the City for Twenty Years Other Fires. TOLEDO, O., Jan. 3. Fire tonight caused a loss of fully a half million dollars. It broke out a few minutes after 6 o'clock in the elevator of F. N. Quayle & Co., on the river, fronting on Madison and Water-sts. The cause is as yet unknown. ' An explosion of dust caused a general alarm. Tho elevator with its contents were entirely destroyed. A strong northwest wind carried the flames across Madlson-st, to the elevator and burned the block of C. A. King & Co., which is also a total loss. The flames also spread westward across Water-st. to the rear of a large five-story business block, know-n as the Chamber of Commerce building, owned by the Hon. T. P. Brown and occupied by the Western Union telegraph company, the American district company and a large number of offices which was also destroyed. From this the flames spread south to the next building, five stories high, occupied as a museum and theater, known as "Wonderland," managed by C. H. Moore. This was gutted by the flames within a few minutes. The next building, southward, was tho wholesale drug house of West & Truax, which Is also a total loss. A strong fire-wall checked the flames in this direction. To the west they leaped acros-s Summit-st., injuring the Harvard building, but the fire was here checked without great damage. In the rear of this building is the office of the Postal telegraph company, the manager of which removed all the apparatus possible, thus cutting off all telegraphic communication for a time, as the Western Union office and instruments were destroyed in toto. A two-stroy block on the northwest corner of Water and Madison-sts., diagonally across from the Quale elevator, was also destroyed. The loß?es so far ascertained are as follows: F. N. Quale & Co., loss on elevator building, $50,000; fully insured as also all grain in store. C. A. King &, Co., $40,000 on building, also insurance on all goods in store; T. B. Brown, Chamber of Commerce building, lass $120,000, insurance $110,000; Wonderland, loss on building $75,000, on contents $20,000; West & Truax. loss on building $30,000, on stock $75,000, fully Insured on latter; losses to various business firms and offices in King block and chamber of commerce, $100,000, insurance unknown; other losses, $20,000. The total loss will reach nearly a million, as estimated tonight. Owing to the high wind help was requested from the nearc-st cities, and responded to promptly by Cleveland, Detroit and Adrian. The two latter reached the city before th fire was under, control, and rendered efficient service. There was fortunately no fatalities, although Capt Frazier of company No. 1 was overcome by smoke and reported killed, but he is all right. This is the largest fire which has visited Toledo for the past twenty years. Loss of ?250,COO nt Detroit. DETROIT, Jan. 3. Fire started from some unknown cause in the third story of the T. II. Hinchman & Sons wholesale drug store about 6:30 this evening. The entire four stories were shortly beyond saving and the firemen directed their efforts to saving adjoining buildings. The Hinchman building, which was owned by D. Hinchman, of the firm, was four stories high and extended through the block from Jefferson-ave. to Woodbridge-st., with an addition on the Woodbridge-st. end. Adjoining the latter is Standart" Bros.' wholesale hardware house, which also suffered heavily from fire and water. W. II. Edgar Sc Co., wholesale sugar dealers, sustained a loss of several hundred dollars from fire, water and smoke. Another building occupied by Louis Blitz & Co., fancy glass manufacturers, was somewhat damaged with small loss on stock. The Hinchman- house was one of the oldest and largest in the state. Their loss on building and stock will probably reach $165.000; Insurance, $115,000. The Standart stock and building were valued at $113,000, nearly covered by insurance. Their actual loss cannot now be estimated, but it is believed the entire loss will be about $250,000. Loss at Princeton, Minn, PRINCETON. Minn., Jan. 3. N. E.
