"Tell your compatriots there is no dan

ger of war. So long as I live I shall use all my influence to maintain peace." Cardinals Gibbon and Taschereau were "hatted" in the public consistory at Rome Thursday afternoon. The ceremonies were on an elaborate scale. At the conclusion the two cardinals were warmly congratulated. The parliamentary inquiry into the affairs of the city of London has developed the fact that 60,000 of the people's money was spent to defeat the reform bill, and that the accounts of the municipality are not audited. The English cabinet, at its meeting Thursday decided upon a land-purchase scheme based upon revised rentals. The landlords will, by the passage of the measure, be much worse off than they would have been under the operation of Mr. Gladstone's bill. Much alarm is felt among the police owing to their having received information that a large number of nihilist organizations and groups exiBt throughout Russia, and that they are read3T for immediate action to the end of compelling the czar to concede a constitutional government or forfeit his life. The London Chronicle's Rome dispatch says Cardinal Taschereau has succeeded in taking the matter of the Knights of Labor before the holy office, and it is probably that the decision of the .ones tion will ratify the cardinal's condemnation of the order in Canada and forbid any extension of the organization in the United States.

The Richmond Hotel and St. James Hall, situated on the corner of Main and Eagle streets, Buffalo, were destroyed by fire Friday morning. Twelve persons lost their lives, and many others were injured. The material loss is fully half a million dollars. The fire was discovcrod at 3:30 o'clock

in mo not el. lae lire department promptly responded to the alarm. The house contained a large number of guests, and their heart-rending shrieks could plainly be heard. Ladders were raised as soon as possible and as many as could be were taken out. A large number of them were unable to effect their escape. The whole place bnrnod like tinder. The corridor in the center of the building, acted as a great funnel, and as the

flames streamed upward the guests found themselves imprisoned by walls of fire. The screams of the unfortunates could be heard for blocks, and at many of the windows they could be seen in their night clothes, calling wildly for help. At one of the third-floor windows two guests were seen by the crowd to fall back into the flames. One man jumped from the fiflh floor to the roof of a two story wooden building adjoining. He was seriously injured. There were 125 persons in the hotel, seventy of whom were transient guests, eight boarders, and the remainder porters, bell-boys, the families of the proprietors and clerks. Twenty-two of these were rescued from the windows by the firemen; twenty-two are at the hospitals, and a large number made their escape by other means. The origin of the fire is not yet known. They were at least twelve persons burned to death and many others injured. The rapidity of the lire, cutting off means of escape, led some persons to leap for life from the windows. Others

got down the fire-escapes or Hayes ladder, raised by the fire department. One man, mad with terror, leaped from a third-story window, and was picked up from the stone sidewalk on Main street, a mangled and bleeding corpse. Several who succeeded in making their escape were badly injured and burned, and some of these will probably die. William H, Alport, the night clerk, says: "The fire started in the cloak room under the main stairway, at 3:05 o'clock. There' was nobody up but myself, Joe, the night porter,and Plummer, the bell boy. I pulled all four of the fire alarms on the different floors and the people came flying d wn stairs in their night clothes. The fire followed the elevator, and inside of five minutes it reached the top floor. I rushed out of doors after doing all I could." . PITIABLE SCENES. Clinton Bidwell, of Pittsburg, is lying on an improvised cot at Dr. Hayd's office on Niagara street. "Look at my hands," he shrieked, "I tied the sheets together and came down by them. When I was mostly down a man shot past me who had jumped. He came near striking me. My God. The people lay on the roof all about me. They were groaning and dying. It was awful. They dieo; I know they did. The skin is all off of me. I have not a friend with me, and none know me, but in Pittsburg. I made up my mind to stick to the rope, and I did." He turned on his cot and yelled with pain. Dr. Hayd had given him morphine, but it had no effect. William J. Mann, one of the proprietors of the house, rnd his wife had a thrilling experience in getting out. Mrs. Mann was terribly burned about the head, arms and legs. Their little daughter Jennie was also badly burned. Five girls who roomed on the iifth floor made a rope of bedclothes and hung it out of the window, but none oi them seemed to have the courage to start. At last one of the five took hold and swung

down to a window ledge from which she

was rescued. Three others came down in the same manner, and the fifth girl started down. She had srone but a little

distance when the rope parted and down

she went four stories. Strange to say, she was not killed. Her legs were ter

ribly cut and bruised, her back badly

injured and her face and arms were in a

frightful condition from burns. She lay

moaning upon a lounge at the Spencer

house, begging to be sent home.

James McGuire, night engineer at the

postoffice, got into the hotel soon after

the fire broke out. He saved a man who

was coming down stairs in his night clothes, and who was prostrated by the flames and smoke. After getting him out, he retrjrned and tried to rescue a yourf girl from a room on the third floorj but she was lost in the fire. Mr.

McGuire said: "It was terrible to hear her cries. For some reason she could not open the door, and I was unable to break it in. Finally I was driven away by the fire and smoke and had to leave her to her fate. I could only tell from the voice, but I supposed she was a young girl anywhere from ten to fifteen years old. She was in a oom on the third floor, facing on Main street.'' R. H. Humes occupied a room on the third floor. He was awakened by tlie electric bells, and after arousing several people on the same floor, jumped through a window to the kitchen roof. There everything was in flames. After bidding good-bye to several others on the reof, he made a rush for the Fagle street door, going through the kitchen

skylight and out through the flames and

escaped. He left five persons on the kitchen roof, and thinks they must all

have perished, as they did not attempt

to follow him through the flames.

Perhaps the most ih rilling escape of

any was that of Preston Whittaker,

step-son of Proprietor Stafford. He roomed in the fifth story, and when aroused stepped to the window and looked down for a few seconds. Then he dressed himself, and emerging from the window, stood on the stone capping above the window beneath. From this capping he stepped to the next one,

along the front of tlie building, and proceeded in this manner to the Hayes truck-ladder at the other extremely of the front. The nerve and coolness displayed were remarkable. The list of victims oi the Richmondhotel holocaust keeps on increasing, and there is now reason to believe that the

death-roll will reach twonty-six. There are nineteen dead or missing, and several of.the victims at the hospital will probably die. Skipped With a Mil 1 ion . Sheriff Grant has seized the place of business of Walter E. Lawton, at 31 Broadway, New York, who did business under the firm name of Lawton Bros., fertilizers, under attachments from Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, on creditor's claims amounting to $245,000. It is charged that Lawton has ab sconded to defraud, his creditors; that he has disposed of his property and taken a large amonut of money with him. Lawton was a director in the Delta Arizona tin company and was intrusted with $100,000 in notes to discount for the company. On March 15, Lawton is said tohave absconded with the proceeds of the discounted notes. Several banks will lose large amounts. It is estimated that Lawton's total indebtedness is at least $1,000,000. The testimony of every one who has had business transactions with Walter E. lawton is that within the last four weeks Lawton has been getting together

all the hard cash possible. His wide acquaintance and his unimpeached credit enabled him to do this in a great many different ways, and he seems to have usedtheni all. There seems to be a suspicion also tha t he has taken a rich wife with him. There were two rich widows in town, so it is said in the street, who wanted to marry him, although, as one of his victims says: 'The old fellow was about as handsome as red mud.' But it was common gossip in January that he was going to marry again. Just one week before the day he left his office for good he was in a bank doing some business and he quietly sat down and figured up his wealth as $1,000,000 to the satisfaction of the president. When Lawton walked out, the president said to another officer of the bank: "There goes an old fellow worth a solid million." Another of his games came to light Fridar. He owned a tract of 600 acres of land, known as the island, at Little Ferry, N. J., with a large water front on the Hackensack River. Swamp grass and cat-tails covered it. A finely executed map is in existence, showing the island tract as an elegant park, with magnificent residences,grovesand drives, and the river front white with the sails of yachts. It is said to have been Mr. Lawton's intention to dispose of the property to a syndicate of English capitalists, representing it as an aristocratic suburb of New York.

Soldiers Records. Washington special. A flood of applications have beon pouring into the office of the AdjutantGeneral of the army for relief from the ! charges of irregularity standing against ; the military records of soldiers of the

late war. It is said that more than 10 per cent, of the rejords of soldiers have charges of desertion, etc., on file, and not more than 2 per cent, are justly there. Under circumstances and

proof set for tli by the Ke vised Statutes,

the Adjutant"General may correct the military record of any one; but in the

great bulk of cases he is powerless to act

and refers the applicants to Congress.

The A diutant-General cannot correct

the record of a soldier without prima

facie evidence that the charge had been

wrongly made. For instance, there

were very many of the men who broke out of the ranks at the close of the war in 1865 and went to their homes without

waiting for discharge. The Adjutant-; General may remove the charge of de

sertion in these eases. One man made application the other day to have his

military record corrected from the

charge of "displaying acts of cowardice.'

He cited no specification and gave no

proofs. He simply vehemently declared.

he "was no coward." Many ludicrous

letters are received with the applications for corrected records. Many of the applicants ricicule the charges, while

others seem to think their earthly and

heavenly interests are involved, and make most pitiful pleas. Congress has

become very charry in its action in

these cases, having come to the conclu

sion that the charges that can not be removed under the present provision

ought to stand. Served Them Right. Prudence Lodge and Palestine Chapter Royal Arch Masons of New York, have

IRELAND EXCITED. Arrest of Ftttlmr Holler for Kefusing to IJooome an Informer The Prisoner Greeted by I'Inthusinstic Cheers and Honored in All Possible Ways. Father Keller, of You glial, County Cork, was arrested Friday, He had twice declined to receive summonses ordering him to appear in court and answer questions respecting his alleged custody as trustee, under the "Plan o! Campaign," of moneys belonging to the tenan ts on the Ponsonby estates. The arrest created great excitement throughout the southern part of Ireland. Father Keller was, immediately after his arrest, hurried to the railway station and started fo r D ubl i n. The n ews of his arrest traveled like wildfire, and at

turned out in large numbers to express their sympathy with the prisoner, who was greeted with deafening cheers at every stopping place. At Thurles the train was met by Archbishop Groke and twelve priests, and apparently, also, by every other person in the to wn possessed of good legs. The Archbishop, addressing Father Keller, assured him of his sympathy and expressed his approval of the course he had token. He warned the Tory government that its attempts to crush the priesthood would fail. An immense crowd of persons of all classes awaited the arrival of tho train in Dublin, and when Father Keller appeared he was greeted with tremendous cheering. Father Keller was not conveyed to the jail, but entered the carriage of the Lord Mayor, which awaited him, and was driven to the Imperial Hotel, passing through the principal streets, and escorted by thousands of people. Several bands of music accompanied the procession, which displayed banners, flags, etc., in profusion. Arriving at the hotel, the Lord Mayor, Mr. T.D.Sullivan, M. P., delivered a stirring address to the crowd, in the course of which he asserted that there were thousands of priests ready to follow Father Keller to jail. Mr. William O'Brien followed the Lord Mayor with a violent speech, in which he said the Orange brutes, the shameless partisans like Judge Boyd, who acted for the government and the bloody Balfour, had great victories to boast of thearrestof a poor fisherman and the taking into custody of a priest who would not become aa informer. A warm debate ensued in Parliament in which Balfour was scathingly condemned by John Dillon and Labouchere. Mr. Parnell protested strongly against the absence of any attempt oh the part of the government to meet the strong case that had been brought against them. Mr. Balfour, he said, would not escape retribution and the judgment of history, as one who had entered upon a task of bloodshed in Ireland with a light heart cries of "Withdraw," which the speaker did not notice, and Irish cheers, or as one who, during a short period in oflico, had shown more callousness and indifference than, any previous Secretary. It was unfortunate for him Balfour that his assumption of office had been signalized by two such events as the arrest of Father Keller and tho murder of Hanlon. Pour Men Shot leal. Two weeks ago Walter Ridgeley, a wealthy farmer living twenty miles north of Texarkana, Tex., shot and killed two ferrymen who were trying to force exhorbitant prices out of a St. Louis drummer for putting him across the river. Bidgeley took the drummer's part. The ferrymen insulted him for this and attempted to draw their weapons, when Bidgeley shot them both dead. Upon examination Ridgeley was discharged. John Murphy, a brother of one of the men killed and an uncle of the other, swore to kill Ridgeley on sight. Friday night Ridgeley, on horseback, was returning home from a neighbor's, and on entering a strip of woods, was fired on from ambush. The horse fell dead, but its rider escaped unharmed and rolled over on the opposite side of the horse to that from which the firing proceded. The two would-be murderers, who were the uncle and brother mentioned, thinking that Ridgeley was dead, approached. When within about ten feet, Ridgeley suddenly raised up and shot both assailants dead in their tracks. This makes four men that Ridgeley has killed over a simple ferry-boat transaction.
