Firemen spent the night and this forenoon in quenching remnants of the big blaze, while a cordon of weary officers are) still guarding the ruins. In-coming trains this morning were packed with sight- seers, Relic hunters were pres= ent in large numbers. ‘Telegraph linemen were early on hand attempting to re- the broken circuits. The walls of some of @ gutted buildings are in a very danger- ous condition and the owners will raze them to the ground to prevent accident, Gangs of men have already begun to cleat away the debris. Nearly ‘all the burned out merchants have made arrrangements to occupy other stores at once and resume bus- ines, Several large safes loom yp from the ruins aad appear to be intact, OUT OF WoRK. Among the spectators at the ruins today were 600 girls who were employed by T. ¥. Crowell’s book bindery, many of whom was the main support of families and who have now no means of subsistence.

Harvey was hung at 8 o'clock this morning for the murder of his wife and two daughters March 26 last. Harvey slept well, ate a hearty breakfast and had a call from hisclergyman, The death war- rant was read tohim at 7:55, his arms were pinioned and the procession marched to the scaffold. He looked haggard and raised his eyes only once, The prayers of the Episcopal church were said, during which Harvey's legs were pinioned and the cap drawn down, The rope was then cut. The execution was a piece of brutal bungling. The weight which lifted the body was not heavy enough and the scaffold not being high the rebound was insufficient to break the neck. The struggles and contortions of the victim werg frightful as he slowly strangled to death. —— From Wall Street Today. New Yorx, Nov. 29.--The influence of the Boston fire was added to that of the Lyun fire and the gas trust sensation this morning as a depressing factor in the stock market. The first prices in the general list were from to $¢ lower than those of Wednesday evening, an further fractional losses were sustaived on an extremely active trading in the first half hour's business. Chicago gas wasastill the chiet center of interest in the market, and after opening down 13 per cent at 44% it further de- clined “336 to 41%, from which point there was a substantial rally. While mach less active than Chicago gas, Tennessee coal and San Kraucisco preierred followed on the downward move. and the former, after opening unchanged at 80)4, dropped to 76, and the lat- ter opening off 1%; at 42! declined to 40. Cot- ton oil and sugar also lost leach. Chicago gas rallied to 43.and Tennessee coal to 79, but the market again gave way toward 11 o'clock, and at that time was active and weak and generally at about the lowest prices, San Francisco dropping to 39.

THE DAY BEFORE THE BATTLE. New York Solid for Reed and Pennsyl- vania’s Vote Divided. THE MAINE MAN'S FRIENDS SAT RE WILL mE ELECTED OX THE FIRST BALLOT—IT 1s con- CEDED THAT HE WILL LACK ONLY FIVE vores AT THE START—WHAT HIS OPPONENTS sar. The day before the caucus finds the several speakership candidates held firmly in the field by their friends, There is no indication of weakening in any of their lines, The report that McKinley contemplated withdrawing is Positively denied by him and pronounced absurd. for the very good reason that he has thin the past twenty-four hours, He and his friends are perfectly confi- dent, and declare that they have more to be happy over now than they have before had during the canvass. On the start, it is asserted, twelve votos in Pennsylvania were pledged to Mr. McKinley. Astrong pressure was brought to carry the whole delegation over to Reed, regardless of these previous pledges, TALK OF A DEAL, It was asserted that a deal had been made, as in the Forty-seventh Congress when Keifer was elected. At that time, though these Pennsylvania votes were mostly pledged to another candidate, they were all turned over to Keifer through the influence of Senator Cameron and ex-Secretary Robeson of New Jersey. Pennsylvania thus secured three places on the ways and means committer, two on the appropriations committee. and six chairmanships, while Mr. Robeson was made chairman of the committee on ex- nditures in the Navy department, It has Been asserted that some such a deal as this had been made this time, and at one time it was claimed that Mr. Reed would have the solid Pennsylvania delegation or, at least, not more than two short of solid. THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION DIVIDED. It is claimefi this morning that Mr. McKin- ley has seven of the Pennsylvania votes that willstay with him, Six were all McKinley was counting on last night, but one member he had not expected to vote for him called this morning and declared his intention of so doing. There is said to be an ndant lack of har- mony in the delegation, and a lively time is ex- pected at their meeting this afternoon, NEW YORK SOLID FOR REED. At the Belden dinner last night the New York delegation talked over the speakership, and it was practically decided that all the members would respect the unit rule and vote for Reed. Baker and Flood wanted to vote for other can- didates, but the former yielded gracefully— for a big man—to the will of the majority, and Mr, Flood practically yielded. This solid- ity of the New York vote, though it has been expected, gave Reed a boom,which was echoed through the hotel lobbies. The loss of seven of the Pennsylvania votes was held up in the way of an offset. PREDICTING REED'S ELECTION ON THE FIRST BALLOT. Reed's supporters are saying this morning that he will be elected on the first ballot and are doing all they can to keep his boom a going, with the idea of giving it the impetus necessary to carry it over the barren stretch between 72 votes, which they claim, and 85 the number necessary to a chowe. Starting in the caucus with such a lead over all other candidates, Reed has the advantage of natural gravitation, to draw votes. If there is any weakening in the support of the westera candidates his election is assured, Being xo near the goal many things might happen to carry him over the line and put bim im asa winner at the start. It is safe to say that if he is elected it will be not later than the third ballot. Many think that he cannot hold for more than two, for it is declared that at least eight New England votes will leave him after the second baliot, If he is going to be elected three ballots will be all he will want, His friends declare he will not need so many. REED'S CONCEDED STRENGTH. The strength that is conceded to him on first ballot is 23 votes in New England, 19 in New York, 15 in Pennsylvania, 1 in New Jersey and 13in the west. This gives him 71 votes, or within 14 of enough to elect, His friends de- clare that he will get that number in accessions after the first ballot. It igbut a small number to get, but without it he might as well have none. Having such a large vote to start with the betting is naturally largely in favor of Reed, but the other candi- dates do not give up the ship and declare con- fidently that his defeat is a certainty. WHAT THE ANTI-REED MEN SAY. ‘They say that the fourteen votes he needs to elect him are just what he cannot by any possi- bility get. Each of the other candidates is hopeful of election. but the one thing they propose to sure of is that Reed cannot be elected, They say that McKinley can hold 12 of the southern votes and 7 from Pennsyivauia besides his western following, and that between them they have more than a majority of the caucus that they can hold solidly until Reed is out of the fight. With the knowledge that some of the New England men are anxious to break away from Reed, they say that there will be no trouble about holding their forces together until Reed is beaten. ‘They set forth that Reed has made no gains since the campaign opened, but that on the contrary he 1s not going to get as many votes in Pennsylvania ax he expected at first. From now until the nomination is made the western candidates will bend their energies to solidifying their forces. They are either the most contident men in the world in their asser- tions that Reed will be beaten or else they are great actors. IT IS ANY ONE'S FIGHT YET. No one can say honestly that the fight is won by Reed or any one else at this time. Reed is in the lead and close up to the goal. When that is said it’s all that is known, There is some doubt about the New Jersey vote. Mr. Buchanan said to a Star reporter today that he would vote for McKinley and that one New Jersey man would vote for Reed. How the other two votes would go he could not say. THE CANVASS FOR THE OTHER OFFICERS of the House is even a worse mix up than that for the speakership. The hottest fight is between McPherson and Maj. John M. Carson of the Philadelphia ‘Ledger, for the clerkship. Major Carson, like Mckinley, has the promise of the votes of a majority of the delegation, but it appears uow that Mr. Mc Pherson bas a majority of that ele- gation. Major Carson, however, is con- fident of success, A curious mistake n identity has been made by some of the mem~- bers from New York. ‘They have argued against Major Carson that be was amugwump candidate for Congress in New York. Major Carson is a stanch republican and never ran for Congress in his life. The Carson in New York was another Carson, PENNSYLVANIA’S DELEGATION. Republican Members of that State Con- sulting on the Speakership. The first rush of business at the Capitol this winter started in today at about 2 o'clock, when a number of Pennsylvania republican members took ‘possession of the room of the committee on rivers and harbors on the House side and proceeded to discuss the Speakership question. Mr. Bingham was, as usual, a busy member of the delegation, but outside of the regular secret session proceedings he had nothing to say. Tadge Kelley looked quite serious and it was evident that he was present to relieve himself of sundry opinions as to the “whip; -in” of members who wanted to be independent. In the corridor outside the committee room was_a large crowd of anxious ones, the majority of them newspaper wen. Mr. Bingham, be- fore the session commenced, said he thought the conference would be over in about haif an hour, but the limit he set was exceeded con- siderably, = 4 VOTE.

A neatly dressed woman of thirty or thirty- fiye years appeared walking in « leisurely way along the pavement in the arsenal grounds about noon today, She left the brick pavement and walked to the river, and in an instant’ she was overboard, Several of Uncle Sam's bluc-coated defenders rushed to the water's edge and plunged m to rescue her, They suc- ceeded in their efforts and soon had the woman ashore, The soldier boys were afraid she would take cold gnd conveyod her to the hospital, where she was*put in charge of the nurses. She was too wet to go home and so ske was detained until some dry clothing could be obtaived. She wasa stranger | tocvery one in the grounds. She was ques- tioned, and said that her name was Mattio Tamlyn, and that she lived at the house of a family named Jones on W street northwest, WHAT SHE TOLD THE POLICEMEN, News of the attempted suicide soon reached the police and Lieut, Vernon sent his patrol wagon with a couple of policemen for her, They reported that the rescued woman said: “L did” it on account of Charlie,” ‘The officers were unable to learn any further particulars of the affair or who Charlie was, At last accoants the woman was waiting for some dry clothing so she could retarn home, WHAT MR. JONES SAYS, A Sran reporter called at the residence of Mr. C. S. Jones, 1449 U street, and there learned that Miss Tomiyn was a domestic in his family, where she has been for some time. She is an English girl and has no relatives in this country, A young man, employed in the Treasury, whose first name is Charles, but whose jast name Mr. Jones did not know, has been very atten- tive to Miss Tamlyn, but about three weeks ago = discontinued = his Visits, Since then she has seemed rather down hearted, She came home about 10 o'clock last evening, but did not seem especially disconsolate. When Mr. Jones came down stairs this morning he found the house still locked and a nete from the girl askin, | him to send her clothing to a friend on Capit.
