Quexzxstown, Jan. 16.—The Bothnia arrived today from New York. Some of the passengers state that at noon on January 15, while the steamer was in latitude 51 n., longitude 17 w., & fire broke out in the after store room, which is located near the first-class state rooma, tongues of flames shot up the ‘a ventilator which acted asa chimney for the fire. Fortunately the flames were discovered before they had made much headway. The crew were called to fire quarters, ‘was stretched and in half an hour the fire was extinguished. The damage done was NE: ee was great excitement among sengers when the fire was frst discovered, bat it soon subsided upon the assurances of the officers ‘hat there was no danger of the flames spreading beyond the store room. The crews owed good discipline and every man on the ship was at his station in avery few minutes after the ship's bell called them to quarters. pore FATAL WRECK ON THE PENNSY. A Fast Express Runs Into a Coal Train Near Latrobe, Pa. Prrtspuna, Pa., Jan. 16.—At 1:40 o'clock this morning third section of the fast line east bound on the Pennsylvania railroad ran into a coal train just east of Beatty station near La- trobe. The passenger train was piloted by two engines. Fireman George Letzinger of Conemaugh died from his injuries few minutes after the accident. He leaves a widow and two children. Engineer William Getteny of Conemaugh, right arm broken and otherwise seriously hurt; Engineer Cannon of Wilkinsburg, right side crushed in, neck cut and both arma broken; George F. Kelly, fireman, head and shoulders badly cut and bruised. None of the passengers or members of the freight crew were hurt. Both passenger engines and five cars of coal were wrecked. ~ The tracks were blocked several hours. No official statement as to the cause of the wreck can yet be obtained. It is understood, however, that the fault lies with the freight crew. Eastern trains were trought into Pittsburg over the tracks of the West Penn railroad. —— ae FOURTEEN NEW CARDINALS, One Englishman, but No Americans on the ‘List. Rost, Jan. 16.—The pope created fourteen cardinals at the consistory today, the list not including any Americans. Archbishop Vaughan of Westminster was clevated to tho cardinalate, also Archbishop Logue, primate of Ireland; Archbishop Krementz of Cologne, Prince Archbishop Kopp of Brestlau, Monsignor Monsenni, papal under secretary of state; Mon- signor Persico, secretary of the propaganda, \d others, there being in all six Italian car dinals, two French cardinals, two Prussian, one English (Vaughan), one Irish (Logue), one Hungurian and one Spanish cardinal. Pope Leo in his allocution thanked God for having preserved him to celebrate his episcopal Jubilee, This event, the pope said, would be regarded by men asa sign of the divine pro- tection extended over the church in these calamitous days through the preservation of the life of the supreme pontiff. The pope announced, inaddition to the cardi- nals name, the creation of two cardinala re- served. They are believed to be Heinhuber and a French bishop. SS AMENDING SECRET BALLOT LAWS. Changes to Be Made in Maine and New Hampehire. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Bostox, Mass., Jan. 16.—Both Maine and New Hampshire will amend their Austrahan ballot laws this winter. No bill in New Hamp- shire hrs yet been presented, but in Maine Sec- retary of State Fessenden has sent to th® state legislature a communication suggesting several important changes. One amendment provides that all nomination certificates shall be filed in the secretarv of state’s office thirty days before the day of election, instead of twenty days as the law now provides. Another amendment provides for the adoption of the Indiana form of official ballot, which places at the head of each ticket an emblem, figure or device to be selected by the state committee or convention of different parties inclosed with the party name in a large square, and providing that a cross anywhere within this shali vote the whole ticket. Another amendment provides that no person can approach within twelve feet of the rail, instead of six feet. Another amendment provides that the whole number of ballots necessary for an election shall be calculated by the secretary of state from the number cast in the preceding elections, instead of relying upon the town clerk's returns, LOST A MILLION ON WHISKY. ‘Trust Stock Went Down on Congressman Burrows’ Threat to Investigate. Prorta, Ixt., Jan, 16.—There is wailing and gnashing of teeth among the speculators in whisky stocks inthis city. The slump of Satur- day cost thi over $1,000,000 and” the bulk of the lons falls on one man. The slide in stocks was caused by the report that the House of Rep- resentatives would make considerable trouble for the trust. It is said about headquarters that this investigation is but a repetition of the Senate investigation of two years azo, out of which the trust came with flying colors, Still the fact that Congressman Burrows has given notice that he will head an investigation had the effect of causing stocks to fall four points in almost as many minutes, sistema es RAN FOR THEIR LIVES. Kenwood Institute in Chicago Burned Early ‘This Morning. 5 Curcaco, Jan. 16.—Fifty young women at- tonding the fashionable Kenwood Institute, on Madison avenue, were routed from their beds at 6 o'clock this morning and forced to hasten into the zero atmosphere clad for the most part only inthe scanty garments they could snatch in their haety flight from their dormi- tories when an alarm of fire was given. ‘An overheated flue set fire to the woodwork in the basement and in spite of the strenuous efforts of the fire department the institute, a three-story brick building, was almost totally ved. ‘There was no panic among the pupils, but they were com tocast aside all thoughts of appearances and forsake treasured trinkets and costly wardrobes alike.

The French Government Expels = Corre- spondent of Sensational Tendencies. Panis, Jan. 16.—The government is greatly irritated at the exaggeration of the Panama scandal by foreign journalists and resolved to exercise to the fullest extent in the suppression of such reports the authority to expel ob- noxious aliens, Today the expulsion was announced of Sig- nor Bernascoui, Paris correspondent of the Corriere Dela Sera, a newspaper of cousider- able circulation in ‘Milan, for having thrown n. formerly Senator Morrill Makes = Speech Against the Measure. SENATE. House bill granting to the town of Kittery, Me., for school purposes a portion of the mili- the gue since the accounts of expenditure rendered two years since was taken up and to. Senate bill to authorize the court of claims to hear and determine the claims of certain New York Indians against the United States was, on motion of Mr. Hiscock (N. Y.) taken from the calendar, explained by Mr. Platt one) and e claim, involv- to about $2, arose out of taking of lands in Kansas belonging to these Indians, which had been given to them in exchange for their lands in New York. The McGarrahan bill was then taken up, and Mr. Morrill (Vt.) read an argument ‘against it, premising his argument with the re- mark that the question was too important to be shirked. In his review of the history of the ense Mr. Morrill mentioned the fact that an ad- Yerse report had been made on the claim by Mr. John Randolph Tucker, and said that that fact was interesting, as it was understood that ‘Mr. Tucker would be selected by the incoming administration as the best-qualified gentleman in Virginia for the position of Attorney General. who knew Mr. Tucker (be added) hoped that the byl sage would prove true. At the conclusion of Mr. Morrill’s argument against the McGarraban bill, the bill went over without action, and Mr. Peffer (Kan.) addressed the Senate in support of his joint resolution to limit the presidential office to one The anti-option bili was taken up and Mr. Call (Fla.) made an argument in support of it. HOUSE, A demand for the “regular order” made by Mr. Kilgore (Tex.) prevented the consideration ot several private bills which mombers desired to call up. Mr. Beltzhoover (Pa.), from the committee on war claims, reported back the Burrows res- olution calling on the various departments for information relative to the amount of war claims allowed by them and the Court of Claima, Mr. Enloe (Tenn.), while not objecting to the resolution, criticised the message of the Presi- dent as faras it referred to war claims and also speeches of Mr. Reed of Maine and Mr. Henderson of Iowa, which were circulated during the campaign, in which it had been asserted that the majority of the war claims measures now pending before the House were the claims of persona who had been denied a hearing on account of disloyalty. Mr. Burrows spoke in favor of his resolution, the purpore of which was that Congress might have data on which to act upon the claims now pending before it. Mr. Beltzhoover criticised tho rtatements made by Mr. Reed and Mr. Henderson (Iowa) at the last wemsion (for campaign purposes) that the bills reported by the committee on war claims at that session involved un ap- propriation of between $70,000,000 and €100.000.000. ‘This he indignantly denied and asserted that the appropriations involved wo not exceed $16,000,000, two-thirds of wh would go to citizens of the northern states. And of the bills favorably reported _nineteen- twentieths hud been reported favorably by a republican committee. ‘The resolution was adopted. Coming over from the former euspension day was a bill to settle and adjust the claims of Arkansas and other swamp land grants. oe FREE TRADE WITH CANADA, Mr. Chariton, a Member of the Dominion Parliament, Sounding Congressmen. Mr. Charlton, one of the liberal leaders and a member of the Canadian parliament, was atthe Capitol today interviewing leading members of the House on the subject of closer commercial relations between the United ‘States and Canada. He had a talk with the Speaker of the House, Mr. Springer, Bourke Cockran and other members of the ways and means committee and the com- mittee on foreign affairs. He introduced the subject of commercial intercourse with the statement that he-was not here in an official capacity, but merely for the purpose of sound- ing the sentiment of Congress to give him light for his guidance in the agitation at home. He said that his party did not want the annexation question thrown in as a party uestion at this time, but that the liberals of Ginada wanted free trade between that province and the United States in natural products of manufactures products composed entirely of native raw material, pee The Senate and the Silver Question. ‘The question of whether the republicans of theSenate will now try to suspend the pur- chase of silver or will leave the matter over for the democrats todeal with after the 4th of March will be fought out in caucus tomorrow. Mr. Sherman and the eastern republicans argue that it ia better policy, as well as better etates- delay. ee Funeral of George H. Walbridge. The funeral services over the remains of Geo. H. Walbridge were heid yesterday afternoon at the Calvary Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Greene, officiated. Lafayette Lodge of Masons attended the funeral in a body and con- ducted the interment services at Arlington. > WHAT WAS HER REASON? Queer Conduct of a Woman About to Be Married. From the McKeesport Times. Andrew Parker and Mary Seidler of Brad- dock were to have been married at noon yester- day at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. The building was filled with friends and relatives, and the Rey. Raymond Weider stood at the altar with the contracting parties and their at- tendants ready to begin the ceremony. Suddenly the assemblage was startled tote the bride step backward and refuse to take part in the ceremony, and while they yot wondered the to-be-bride, without offering any explana- tion, turned and made her way alone to the basement of the church, where she took off her wedding gown and veil ‘and attired herself in a street costume she had provided. As she came out of the basement smiling, it appeared to be triumphantly, and made her way down the steps to the street, she was followed by Parker. He stopped her and informed her that he had 1.50 for a marriage license, and now that ¢ was not to get the benefit of the license he roposed to have the $1.50. With alow courtosy ise Seidler pulled out her purse and handed him a @5 gold piece and told him to take his €1.50 out of it. Parker put the gold piece in his pocket. Miss Seidler porsisted in her de- mond for €3.50 change, and people began to gather around. Parker, losing control of him- self, struck the young woman in the face and on the breast several times, and then hastily made his way through the crowd and disap- peared. It is suppoted by many that Miss Seidler aia asshe did for the express pu of mortify- first mot about fftesn been engaged for about months ago and four months. ———~ How a Legal Reform Started. From the Lewiston Journal. A Maine lawyer tells how, years ago, asa student just beginning his study of human rules and regulations, as he terms the science of law, he adopted a method that ten years Inter was put on the statute books and is now com- mon practice. In other words, he got ahead of the law about ten years. Ho was left alone one day in the office, the lawyer being out of town. To bis dismay an old fellow who lived some miles away came in, saying he had been sued before a trial justice and the case came on that day and be wanted it attended to. with the fee broom i ae He the farm. the mines and the forests and the | manship, to take up’ the question without | TIMES at BEADQC: A number of the members of the inaugural the various subcommittees in shape for the printers. This is no small! inasmuch ing manner since they were originally « | nounced about ten days ago. There has been | the greatest demand for appointments ou these | committees, and if the interest shown by all | classes of Washingtonians in the coming inaug- uration can be taken asa criterion the cele- | bration on the 4th of March will be um | | dented m extent and proportion, It is ex- | pected that the liste will be sent to the printers not later than tomorrow and that the book con- | taining all the names will be issued by the latter part of the week. FAMOUS ORGANIZATIONS COMING. The crack military organization of New York, the famous seventh regiment, will have a prom- inent place in the inaugural parade. The sixty- seventh, of which Gen. Martin T. McMahon was | formerly colonel, is also expected to partici- | tai te, | The J. J. Dougherty Association and the Hancock Veteran Association, both of Philad phin, have notified the committee of their tention to be on hand for the fourth. Both of these are large organizations and expect t make a fine appearance in line. The State Fet cibles of Philadelphia, Capt. R. E. Schillinger, | have written to engage quarters for 200 men. CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS, The subcommittee on civic organizations bas | its work well in hand now and intends to muke | the civic portion of the parade a very attractive | feature. A circular letter is now being pre- | red, which will be sent in a day or/ wo ‘to all organizations that intend coming on for the inauguration asking for in- formation that will be of service to the commit- tee, such as the number of men they will have in line, the time of their expected arrival in Washington, the date of their organ- ization, &e. The plan ‘that will | probably be followed out is to place | all such organizations in line by states, with New York in the front. This will greatly simplify the work of forming the line ‘as well as doing away with the difficult task of settling the question of seniority. Prof. Harry King, the secretary the ‘committee, is making a list’ of all the civic ‘organizations that are ccming alphabetically and by states. A letter is to be sent to ail the mem- bers of Congreas with the request that all clubs | and absociations in their districts that contem- | plate being here for the inauguration commu- nicate at once with the committee. One of the busiest men about headquarte: nowadays is Mr. Joseph E. Johnston, the o' manner in which all this work has be | done shows clearly why he was appointed to | | this important post. "Ho is at headquarters | from euriy morning until !ate at night, and at | present it looks as though he will Lave no vaca- | Hon until after inauguration day. CRIEF MARSHAL M'MAHON'S FIRST ORDER. Gen. Martin T, McMahon, the chief saarshal | of the parade, has left for New York. Before | going, howover, he issued the following, his | first official order: 1.

From the Chicaro News-Recori. “Kindly assist me with this basket—carefully, | please!”” The speaker, a large, handsome woman, had just entered the depot. Diamonds bobbed play- fully in her eara, and the dress she wore would have made Worth weep for joy. Passenger Agent Cummings promptly took | the basket. It was of medium size, richly trimmed with satin and decorated with vari- colored ribbons. The contents were covered | by a quilt beautifally decorated with needle- | work, It weighed in all nearly forty pounds. Mr. Cummings was amazed that a woman of her evident wealth should be carrying such a heavy burden. Suddenly he felt a strange jolting in the bas- ket. ‘The quilt was heaving upand down, Mr. Cummings thought of babies, dogs, snakes, chickens and mud turtles all in less than | second. It was with a feeling of relief that | he deposited the mysterious bundle on a seat by the side of the woman. “Come, Dick,” she said p Instantly the quilt went up with a volcanic burst, and out popped, like a whiskered Jack- in-the-box, a huge gray cat. It was the largest that Mr. Cummings had ever seen. Dick stood | nearly cighteen inches high, and was long and broad in proportion. His weight exceeded thirty-five pounds. Aftershowing him proudly the lady enapped her fingers and’ the buge cat jumped back into the basket. Dick is the Goliath of his race. He wore | about his neck a richly ornamented gold band bearing a medal from the recent Paris cat show. His owner, the handsome. Indy, never traveled without him close at her side.” Dick was given a drink of water, which he received with a rare display of feline majesty, and then Mr. Cummings bore him out to the Baltimore and Ohio train which left at 3:15. —— WASTEFUL MINING METHODS, Fifty-Five Per Cent of the Coal in the Beds Rendered Unavailable. From the Engineering Magazine. While other plans (of coal mining) have been Proposed, says a writer, on the old method of working by parallel breasts separated by regu- lar pillars of coal is still almost universally used. That great waste results from this method is admitted by all. In working thin beds the pil- lars can be removed, or at least a large portion of the coal they contain can be taken out after the rooms are worked to the limit, but this can be done to very limited extent in thick seams. By adopting modifications of the long-wall sys- tem, or combined long-wall and refilling sys< tems, a much larger percentage of coal in the thicker seams could be recovered, but such systems would perhaps ii ton, and they require a large prel dead ‘work before mining on 2 large seale can be commenced.

Vermont, ae LAFITTE’S LAST SURVIVOR, One of the Buccaneer's Men Still Living in Texas. There still lives in Galveston, says a Gal- veaton correrpondent of the New York Times, 2 man whose form is bowed with the weight of eighty-nine years, who made one cruise under Lafitte when a boy and distinctly remembers the pirate chief and many of his lieutenants, His name is Charles Cronea and he lives ona narrow neck of land on Bolivar peninsula, thirty miles from Galveston, called the “Roll Over,” because in time of storms the waters of the Gulf of Mexico often roll over the land and mingle with those of Galveston bay on the 0} posite side. About the only other thi peninsula is noted for are the vast number of watermelons and the myriads of mosquitoes raised there. Mr. Cronea occasionally visits Galveston in his fast-sailing sloop, and the other day the New York Times’ correspondent met him at the barge office, where he wa ing kris old friend, Capt. John Delaney, chief inspector of customs for the port, who, by the way, was born and bred a New Yorker. Mr. Cronea was born in the south of France and has ninety-two children, and great-grandchildren. When he was eleven years of age he was acabin boy on board of a Fronch frigate and made several cruises along the west coast of Africa. He then and made his way to New York and thence to Charleston, At the latter port he shipped on a vessel os- tensibly bound for Liverpool. There was a very large crew, and when once outside of Charleston harbor the veseel was hove to near a brig, and aman calling himself Jones came abroad. “He wanted,” said Mr. Cronea, “some of us to go with him, and our captain appeared perfectly willing. Isuppose it was all under- | stood between them beforehand. Fifteen of us agreed to go with him. There was one Cata- lonian inthe party. The rest were French. We wont with Jones and he sailed away for the Gulf of Mexico. When he anchored off Corpus Christi he landed us on an island and left some food for us. “After a while one of Lafitte’s vessels, com- manded by James Campbell, arri toanchor. Campbell talked’ to us awhile, say- ing that he was serving under Lafitte and fighting the power of Spain under letters of marque issued by the Carthaginian govern- ment in South America. He offered us good wages and plenty of prize money and we went aboard and took service under him. I was too young to be a seaman and was made cabin boy. T made several cruises under Campbell and we captured a number of vessels, all of which sur- rendered without resistance. C: was a good man and would not kill any of the prison- ers. He always took them to some point near the coast and put them in small boats so they could make their way ashore. Our schooner was a Baltimore clipper and could make four- teen knots an hour, close hauled, in a stit reeze. “Lafitte,” continued Mr. Cronea, “had his headquarters at Galveston Island, which was then called Campeachy. This was in 1818. He had as many as a dozen vessels, and at one time there were 1.000 men on the island. Lafitte men I evor met. He was six fect two inches in height, and his figure was one of bee preven ey with fect and hands so small compared with portment he was ly bland, dignified and social toward equals, though reserved and silent toward inferiors or those under his com- beeping ft closed oo mach teak many weping it so m many persons thought he had only one. “In the course of his stay on the island La- fitte executed two of his own men, one of them fellow named Brown, a ferocious man who had plundered an American vessel in the gulf near Sabine pass, and the other a Frenchman named Francois, whi E nuit ae EREEris e5F E H 5 E i a copy.)
