A Colored Pastor Drops Dead While Preaching on Death. BIRMINGHAM, Ay, June 9.—A singular death occurred in the colored Baptist Church, near Double Springs, this morning. The pastor, the Rev. Greenleaf Lee, a young man, strong and healthy, was preaching on death. He worked himself into a great fervor, describing the tortures of hell and quoting from the scriptures. As the words,' There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” issued from his lips he fell to the floor and in a few minutes was dead.

A Traln Carrying Firemen to the Rescue Wrecked and Two Men Killed. WHEELING, W. Va., June 10.—The town of Cameron, W. Va., a place of 1,500 people on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, twenty-eight miles east of Wheeling, was almost entirely destroyed by fire to- night, and the homeless people are camp- ing on the hills that surround the ruins. The fire broke out about 10 o’clock in Fitzgerald’s livery stable and spread rap- idly. The town was without fire appar- atus, and help was asked from Wheeling. An engine was placed on a special and started for Cameron at once. The special was wrecked ten miles this side of Cam- eron, and the engineer and fireman were killed. An Intelligencer reporter was on the train, but he has not been heard from. A special at 1 o’clock this (Monday) morning says the entire town north of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has been burned. This includes all the business section of the place. The only building left standing is that of the railroad com- pany. The fire-fighters are working hard to keep it from burning. Several build- ings are burned on the street running north from the Crawford House, which had to succumb long ago. Many of the inhabitants have lost all they possessed and are entirely destitute. The telegraph operator in the B.and Q. building expects each minute to have to fly for his life, and wires that he can hear the falling of bricks near him, MILWAUKEE FLAME-SWEPT.

PERISH IN A TUNNEL. Workmen Suffocated by the Smoke From an Engine. FOUR LOSE THEIR LIVES. Strenuous Efforts to Rescue the Imperiled Men Prove Unavailing. CUT OFF FROM OPEN AIR. Poor Ventilation Prevents the Es- cape of the Deadly Gas From the Locomotive. PITKIN, Coro., June 9.—News reached here to-day that four men were suffocated in the Alpine tunnel yesterday afternoon. An engine had run into the tunnel, which is 1776 feet long, with a crew of sev- eral men, to syphon out an accumulation of water held in by a dirt cave. The ven- tilation of the tunmnel is poor, and the smoke and gas from the engine made the air so stifling that the men soon prepared to leave. As the engine was backing out a man was discovered lying across the track and the engineer reversed, running further into the tunnel, where all the men were quickly overcome by suffocation. Stren- uous efforts were made to rescue them, but it was impossible, as the air within had be- come so impregnated with gas and smoke that for several hours no one could enter far enough to reach the victims. The dead are: M. W. Flavin, superintendent, married. N. Martenis, engineer, married. Michael Burns, fireman, married. Oscar Cammann, miner, single. ‘Teams were sent to the tunnel this morn- ing fo convey the bodies to this place. A special train came from Gunnison carrying friends and relatives of the victims, and went on to the tunnel to meet the teams and bring the bodies to town DENOUNCED BY WORKINGMEN, Supreme Court’s Decision in the Debs Case the Subject of Resolutions.

The following resolution intro- duced by Kelly was adopted : Resolved, That we, the workingmen of Omaha, in mass-meeting assembled, denounce the action of the court as arbitrary and un- just and calculated to destroy the confidence of the masses in the integrity of the judiciary of the United States. NEW ROADS T0 BE BUILT, A Line to Run From Grand Junction, Colo., to Green River, Wyo. Funds for the New Enterprise Sup- pliled by a Philadelphia Trust Company. DENVER, CoLo., June 9.—A special to the News from Green River, Wyo., says: County Clerk Thomas received to-day for recording the deed of trust or mortgage given by the Colorado, Wyoming and Great Northern Railway to the Solicitors’ Loan and Trust Company of Philadelphia, of which Theodore Frothingham is presi- dent.

Brought Into Action, Cartridges Unpacked and Firing Com- menced Within a Minute. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8.—The Gov- ernment steamer Ordnance took a cargo of experts and others to the Government proving ground at Sandy Hook yesterday and an official test of the Maxim machine gun, which can be fired 600 times a minute, was made. First of all Mr. Huber fired fifty shots. This little feat occupied 54-5 seconds. This light gun is used by the infantry. It is important to learn how quickly it can be taken from the packing case and put into action. Expert Huber hung it over his shoulder in marching order. At a word from Captain Heath he began to take out the gun. He put it together, unpacked his cartridges and fired his first shot 58 seconds after the alarm was given. For a third test a duplicate set was put up and the first shot fired in 26 2-5 seconds. The fourth test was changing barrels in action. The time between the iast shot with the old barrel and the first shot with the new was 1 minute 12 2-5 seconds. SYRACUSE WANTS THE RACE. A Purse of $3000 Offered Zimmerman and Johnson. SYRACUSE, N.

Most of the course runs parallel to the Northwestern road, and an observation train will be run on that road, keeping the wheelmen in sight through as much of the course as the natural conditions will permit. The starting point of the train will be at the Fort Sheridan station. e NO RACES AT HAWTHORNE. Civie Federation. CHICAGO, IrL., June 9.—The Haw- thorne Track management announced that the programme of races scheduled for to- morrow would not be run. No reason for this announcement was given, but John Brennock, one of the partners, said that there would be no more racing until the Legslature gave them a bill under which i they could operate. He also stated that they had been racing at a great loss the past week. The trouble is with the Civic Federation and the courts, and this was the real reason for declaring the races off. ANDRE WINS THE DERBY The Grand Prix of Paris Cap-~ tured by M. Blanc’s 16 to 1 Shot. Amerlcans Lose Heavily On the Favorite, Which Falils to Get a Place. PARIS, Francy June 9.—The race for sthe Grand Prix of®aris to-day was won by Edmond Blanc's Andre. Vicomte dHar- court’s Cherbourg was second and Baron A. de Schickler’s La Sagittaire third. The race was witnessed by a large crowd of English and Americans, while political and social Paris did everything pos- sible to make the event this year even more magnificent than during past years. The environs of the Grand Course formed a scene of rare beauty, costumes of bril- liant colors rising terrace-like on all sides. So dense was the crowd that at times mo- tion was almost impossible in the vicinity of the places where mutuals were being sold. The air was warm and close, and several light showers during the day were welcomed by the thousands present. There was only enough rain, however to cool the atmosphere and lay the dust. President Faure, shortly before 4 o’clock, inspected the sixteen starters in the pad- dock, paying especial attention to the gen- eral favorite, Ominimum. The trial gallop took place at 4:03, Cherbourg showing up in good form. Betting on Andre was 16 to 1, Cherbourg 8 toland La Sagittaire 12to 1. All of the sixteen horses in the race started well together. M. Albert Menier’s Maugiron took the lead, followed by the favorite, Ominimum. In entering the stretch, Baron de Schickler's Le Justicier led. La Sagittaire, who had been gradu- ally improving her position, then came to the front and appeared to have the race at her mercy, when Andre came on with a rush and won by two lengths. M.deSaint Atary’s Ominimum, the favorite, finished seventh. The English horses were among the last five. Time, 3:28. None of the Americans came in mail- coaches, as had been expected. Among the numerous Americans present, how- ever, were United States Embassador J, B. Eustis and Consul-General 8. E. Morse, with their wives; ex-Secretary Webb and | Clarence Mackay. Among others in at- tendance were the Count and Countess de Castellane, Duchess Luiness, Comtesse | Divoneo, Princess Cassaman and Princess Polignac. The defeat of the favorite was received with silence by the disappointed thou- sands present. The whole race seemed de- cidedly uncertain from start to finish. The English contingent lost considerable money on the English horses, which were nowhere in the race, while the Americans generally seemed to be packing Omini- mum. — New English Daily at Mexico. CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, June 9.— The Mexican Herald is the name of the new English daily which will appear next month in the interest of railroad companies. Its policy is the same as the Mexican Financier, friendly to the administration. An Old Broker’s Death. David Henriques, an old-time stockbroker and once s member of the Pacific Stock Ex- change, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. While walking along Second street, near Jessie, he was seen to fall heavily to the pavement. He was removed to the Receiving Hospital in a patrol wagon, but died while on the way, and the body was then sent to the Morgue. Heart disease is supposed to be the cause of death. Henriques was quite wealthy at one time, and at the time of his death was comfortably fixed. He leaves a sister, residing in New Orleans. He was about 60 years of age. His residence was 331 Kearny sireet. e — An Attempted Suicide. Mrs. Josphine Bates, a colored woman living at 120 Silver street in this City, attempted to jump overboard from the 10 o’clock overland ferry-boat last night.

Track Managers Yield Before the Chicago | OLNEY A" DIPLOMAT, Familiar With Questions With Which He Must Deal. CONSULTED BY GRESHAM. His Judgment Respected in All Vexatious Foreign Com-~ plications. 1WILL TAKE THE OATH TO-DAY, Many Controversies With European Powers That Require Imme- diate Attention. WASHINGTON, D.C., June 9.—Secre- tary of State Olney is expected to take the oath of office to-morrow. There will be no undue haste, however, on the part of the new chief of the State Department. Olney has given much close study to the larger law questions before his department, and it will take some time for him to put the work aside and for the new Attorney- General to grow into it. Olney, moreover, is equipped in advance for the duties of his new office, as he has been consulted constantly during the last year on the various complications over Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bering Sea, the Waller case, foreign tariff retaliation, the Japan-China troubles, Spain’s conflict with Cuba and the lesser questions in which the United States has been brought in relation with the rest of the world. The last year has been unusually fruitful in foreign complications. Some of these were closed by Gresham or advanced to such a state that a settlement may be said to haye been reached. These latter in- clude the British-Nicaraguan incident, in which the United States aided toward a settlement; the Japan-China treaty of peace, which was effected as a result of kindly intervention by the United States, and the friction with Hawaii as the result of the demand for the recall of Minister Thurston. The other foreign questions which attracted public attention during Mr. Gresham’s administration of the de- partment are still pending. With Great Britain there are two ques- tions of special importance to be adjusted, viz., those affecting Bering Sea and the Venezuelan boundary. A Bering Sea con- ference will be held in Washington in October next, Sir Julian Pauncefote hav- ing effected the preliminary arrangements with Mr. Gresham. The purpose is to draft a new treaty by which the claims of Canadian sealers for alleged seizures and losses will be submitted to a commission. The conference will not take up the more important question of readjusting the Bering Sea regulations in order to make them effective. This will come later, how- ever, and promises to call out a vigorous legal and diplomatic controversy. The British - Venezuelan question is mainly significant in involving the Mon- roe doctrine. The United States has asked Great Britain to arbitrate the question. So far as is known, no definite answer has been given to Embassador Bayard, who presented the request of this country. But as the British Foreign Office has positively declined to consider similar requests by Pope Leo and by the International Arbi- tration Association it is not doubted that in due time a declination will come to the United States. It will then remain for the State Department to determine to what extent British aggression in Venezuela is compatible with the Monroe doctrine. Gresham had made a special study of the subject, regarding it as of more importance than any of the foreign questions under consideration. Olney was called into con- ference and for several weeks prior to his selection for Secretary of State he was busy investigating this complicated ques- tion. It is probable that a definite issue will be reached when Embassador Bayard sends Great Britain’s answer. ‘With France the only question of conse- quence pending is as to the imprisonment of ex-Consul-General Waller. Embassador Eustis has been instructed to make in- quiries, with a view to securing for Waller all the rights of an American citizen abroad, including a trial by a civil court. Germany, Austria and Denmark are having numerous tariff complications with the United States, which threatened at one time to bring about radical retalia- tion by this country. The readjustment has proceeded largely throucrh the State Department. Germanyand Denmark con- | tinue their exclusion of American meats, but there are prospects that a satisfactory settlement will be effected. The discrim- inating duties levied against the beet sugars of Germany and Austria brought on the conflict, and Denmark followed the lead of her influential neighbors. The Cuban revolution promises to be a source of controversy with Spain. Min- ister Dupuy de Lome has already asked the State Department to apprehend those sending arms to Cuba, and the suggestion is made that Spain will make a claim against the United States, based onr the precedent of the Alabama claims. Offi- cials are not solicitous, however, as to this claim, and the intimation is made that it is inspired by British sources out of re- sentment for the Alabama decision. Italy and the United States are expected to arrive at a satisfactory settlement ere long concerning the murder of a number of Italians in Colorado. It is understood Secretary Gresham regarded the offenses as such an infringement of international rights that he inaugurated negotiations for the payment of cash indemnities to the fam- ilies of the deceased Italians. This step, if consummated, will be in addjtion to the steps taken by the authorities of Colorado to prosecute the offenders. The only subject of consequence pending with Russia is that concerning the amelio- ration of the condition of the Jews. The United States has taken little partin the Armenian question, which is provoking a conflict between Turkey and the European powers. One of the first acts Mr. Olney is likely to be called upon to perform is that of recognizing the new Government of Ecuador, which has come into power after a bloody revolution. There are no pend- ing questions with other South or Central American countries, except that in which Venezuela is involved. MADE 4 GOOD SHOWING.

An Officer Uses His Revolver to Quell a Maryland Mob. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—The power-house of the Chevy Chase Electric Line in Maryland was the scene of a riot to-night about 10 o’clock, in which two men were shot by a Deputy Sheriff of Mont- gomery County and an ex-policeman of this city was so badly injured that it is feared he will die. Several young men became involved in a fight. Nathan Dorsey, an ex-policeman, employed as watchman at the power- house, endeavored to quell the disturb- ance, and was attacked by the entire crowd and beaten in a frightful manner. Clubs and stones were hurled at him, and he was knocked down and kicked. About this time Deputy Sheriff Mulligan arrived and being unable to cope with the crowd single-handed pulled his revolver and fired five shots into the crowd. Oneof the men was wounded in the hand and another is thought to have been hit, but he escaped before anything definite could could be ascertained. Five of the disturb- ers were arrested. i o S OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Work on a New Torpedo-Boat Soon to Be Commenced. ASHINGTON, D.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 9.—A special to the Courier Journal from Harrodsburg, Ky., sa A most shocking assassination and sui- cide occurred one mile from Harrodsburg about 10 o'clock this morning, on the Warwick road, on the premises of Patrick Higgins. Daniel Warner fired a bullet into the back of Higgins, who instantly fell dead. Warner then ran about 100 yards, when, seeing that his deed had heen discovered, he placed his smok- ing revolver belind his ear and fired. He lived but an hour after shooting himself. Warner was quite wealthy a few years ago, when he cut to death his nephew, a young man of his own name. This was an unfortunate murder, and, although he was finally cleared, it cost him his fortune. Patrick Higgins was Confederate ranger during the war, w: of age and leaves a wi dren. Warner lived in a house on H: farm and the wives of the two men did not get along together amicably. Warner made to his wife repeated threats to kill Higgins and then himself. He waited in Higging’ barn this morning until his victim came along, when he stepped out and, without a word, murdered Higgins. - DEATH ENDS THE CHASE.
