Sige We understand from good author- ity that the Commissioners think so well of industrial education that they are seriously considering the appointment of a practical mechanic as one of our school trustees in the person of Mr. R. F. Chisholm, a printer, who for several years has been employed at the Government Printing Office in the various branches of his trade with that de- gree of skill and commendation of his superior officers that, had the government continued in the hands of the Republican party, he would have been promoted to still higher and more responsible positions. Mr. Chisholm is well learned in his trade and a remarkably well-in- formed man on public events, and well and favorably known to many of our public men, white and col- ored. Should the Commissioners con- clude to select Mr. Chisholm, who is in no sense a candidate, fora school trustee, this would show their earn- estness in putting the industrial branches upon the same footing as other branches of education, and we bespeak for Mr. Chisholm as a school trustee that he will bring to this position the same earnestness, the same skill. the same forethought and industry in furthering the in- terests of the schools in all their branches as has heretofore marked his career. ee ee MARYLAND REPUBLICANS. We understand that ‘the republi- cans have put the strongest and best ticket injthe field, and there is some hopes of their carrying the State. Indications show that all of the colored republicans are united on the ticket, and those colored men who have heretofore declared their allegiance to the democratic party have forsaken their false idol and returned to their first love. The colored demoerats of Maryland have seen enough of the democratic party ; they have realized this fact, that the democratic party will make promises to them, but veryjseldom, if at all, theirpromises are, carried out. There is no reason why the re- publicans should not win next fall ; it is believed that every’State in which there is an election the re- publicans will3win. There {seems to be harmony in the republican ranks of Maryland, and if the party will do its duty it is sure to win. COLORED DEMOCRATS. At the beginning of the first ad- ministration of Mr. Cleveland ne- gro democrats were very few. At that time Mr. James C. Matthews, of Albany, was the accredited lead- er of the colored democrats. Mr. Matthews is a polished gen- tleman, which gave him entree to all the executive departments. He is a man of education, and Mr. Cleveland reeognized him as a man. He was invited to the recep- tions at the White House, and looked upon by Mr. Cleveland as a high-toned gentleman. Mr. Cleveland invited the late Frederick Douglass andZalso Trot- ter, of Hyde Park, Mass., who suc- ceeded Mr. Matthews. There were but few colored men at that time who were recognized by the democratic party. === The seeond election of Mr.| Editor Crosby S. Noyes of the Cleveland brought forth"as many ‘Star is abroad, and when he returns so-called negro democrats as there|he will no doubt resume editorial were colored republicans.

It was killed March 6, 1895. Of the great number of negro democrats in office, and who claimed at the time of their appointment that they were democrats, will be glad to turn their tune between now and March, °97. It is claimed by negro democrats that they elected Mr. Cleveland, If that is so, why is it that Mr. Cleve- land has not given them more re- cognition? The democratic party, with but isolated exceptions, is op- posed to the negro. Matthews, of Aibany, would have succeeded Hon. John R. Lynch, but Carlisle objected and threaten- ed to leave the Cabinet if Matthews was appointed. Mr, Cleveland could not stand such a disruption in his Cabinet at the very begin- ning of his administration. Mat- The eight-page BEE was the town talk Saturday. The circulation of the BEE is four times larger than any paper in the city edited by Negroes. Some people boast of their circu- lation, but it is all on paper. Our books are open for inspection. The Bx is the best paper in town to insert your advertisement. Of course, some people are so con- ceited that they imagine that the world cannot do without them. The Republicans of this city will see that honest men are elected to the next National Republican con: vention. —_—_——__——_— The Republicans of Maryland—. that is, the colored Republicans— have decided to support the Repub. lican nominee. Judge Scott of the police court has been very fair and lenient to- ward prisoners since has occu- pied the bench in the police court.

Certainly Mr. Key committed no offense, and considering the great number of people he carried down without any disturbance at all, he is to be congratulated and com- mended for his ingenuity. The American forgets that a few days ago a white excursion was given down the river, and men who should have known better (we believe they were lawyers) started a riot and now stand charged with having commit- ted an offense on the high seas. Mr. Key had an excursion of one or two thousand people and equally as many at the wharf to see the ex- cursion go off, while the whites car- ried about five hundred, and yet Mr. Key had no fight, but there was a riot created by white lawyers. If the American would only look s little into the faults of the people it would not find so much fault in the man who was advised to run the all-night excursion.

MARY GORDON {LARGE NUMBER OF VICTIMS STILL BUBIED IN THE BRUINS. Firemen Obiiged to Abandon the Work of “Reecue Owing to the Intense Heat—Ter- rible Scgnes Amid the Falling Walls and Ruins—Sleeping Guests Blown Into Eter- nity Withopt Warning—Last Struggles and Piercing Screams of the Dying— Twelve Bodles ‘Taken Out and Many Guests Missing. Denver, Aug. 19.—The Gumry hotel was wrecked by theexplosionat12:10this morning. The rear half of the build- ing, a five-story brick and stone struc- ture, went down with a crash. The ho- tel was crowded with guests. On both sides of Lawrence street, from Seven- teenth to Eighteenth streets, and on Larimer street, directly back of the Gumry, the plate glass windows of the business houses were blown in and a aumber of pedestrians were injured by falling glass. The fronts of many build- ings in the vicinity were badly wrecked. The hotel structure, for 100 feet along the alley and extending seventy-five feet toward the front, is a mass of de- bris. Brick and plaster were piled in heaps twenty feet high, and from this mass of wreckage were heard the moans of the injured and dying. At 12.35 five injured persons were taken out. They were all inmates of the upper story and sank down with the floors, escaping more fortunately than those below. The remaining portion of the building, from which the guests were removed by ladders as fast as possible, was ex- pected to fall at any moment and pre- vautions to prevent further loss of life added to the difficulty in reaching the dead and injured. By some estimates forty people were in the portion of the hotel destroyed, nearly all of whom must be dead. It is supposed that the battery of boilers in the hotel basement must have exploded. The sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city, awakening people in bed a mile from the scene. A cloud of dust was syhrown a thousand feet in the air. At 12.50 the ruins were still burning ‘fiercely and the firemen were obliged to retreat from the work of rescue. Every engine in the city poured water into the mass, but the flames could not be gotten under control be- fore many of the injured were cre- mated. During the height of the excitment a team ran away on Eighteenth street, stampeding the great crowd of specta- tors. A number of people were more or less injured by being trampled on and falling in the broken glass, which covered the streets and sidewalks in every direction. Electric light wires dangled from broken poles in the alley and added fresh peril to the firemen. One horse was killed by coming in con- : tact with a live wire. Two injured wo- men had almost been extricated from the ruins when the flames approached so close that the rescuers had to aban- don them, for their own safety. Both voices were soon silenced, the fire com- pleting the work commenced by the explosion. Up to two o’clock six other persons in the house had been taken from the ruins, all badly injured, In addition, four were severely cut by glass falling into the street. A piece of the cornice of the Cheesman block at Seventeenth and Larimer streets, fully a blook from the Gumry Hotel, was torn out and fell to the street, narrowly, missing several paseers-by. The fragment weighed at least a ton. Among the dead are Peter Gumry and R. C. Grenier, the proprietors of the ho- tel, and the day clerk and the night clerk, none of whom have been fo: Immediately after the explosion o¢cur- red a baby wae heard wailing in the corner of a room which had nearly fal- ien away. Ite parents had gone down with the first crash. Afterwards the lit- tle one's cries became weaker end weak- er, and when the flames shot up into the skeleton of the building they be- came silenced. The firemen made a vrave effort to save a woman caught in the debris of the north corner of the hotel, but were forced to abandon the attempt. The spot where she lay was goon the hottest 't of the fire. The force of the exploston carried away a large portion of the rear of the building adjoining the hotel and one oc- cupied by A. B. Wade, wholesale and retail furniture. The wall of the Gamry on the side toward Eighteenth street crushed @ stable end a small frame The Gumry was a five-story brick with stone front and was built about six years ago. It was of the better kind of second-class hotels, catering largely to transient family patronage. Thus, many ladies and children were among the guests. The buiiding was built as the Eden Musee by thet widow of Gen- eral Tom un Oe was so occupied, later being rem d for use as a hotel. Gumry & Grenier have owned the hotel for several years. Mr. Gumry was a prommment contrac- tor and had done much of the work during the building of the State Cap- itoL r. Grenier aeted in the capacity of manager. eg MAY BE THE CHATHAM FIEND. Albert Dean Arrested on Suspicion of the Abdactions. Chatham, Aug. 19.—“The kidnepper is caught! The kidnapper is caught!” was the sentence passed quickly among our citizens as they returned from bert Dean, a young man aged about twenty-eight, whose home is in Canaan, Conaj., and who came here about two or three months ago from Torrington, Conn, to visit his sister, Mrs. George Skidmore, a resident of this village, was arrested yesterday morning at Old Chetham by Officer Hulbert, on suspi- clon of being the fiend who has been the terror of the town and the abductor of Httle girls. For two weeks residents about Old Chatham have noticed a stranger about town aeti im a very curious manner, and when endeavored to entice the little Hoag girl behind a vacated saw- mill on the pretense of picking flowers a week a ee whose plans were frus- trated by the appearance of the little girl’s father, excitement has been away above par. Yesterday he was seen talk- ing with the children of Alfred Johnson and his arrest followed. Officer Hulbert brought hts prisoner to this village. He has a light mnoustacke, of medium height, and wears tell- tale derby hat. Driving up in front of Ppuesner’s house, they asked the little girl, Elma, which one in the party took her from her bed, when, without a moment’s hesi- tation, she picked Dean out ag the a! ductor. Prueaner, father of the little zirl, wanted to kill him on the sg; Last night the prisoner was placed in the Chatham lock-up and about 11 o’clock rOecey, he was brought before Justice age. Dean has been working for a farmer near here and has been seen prowling about, but whether he can be held on re evidence of the little girl is a ques- ion. See New York Postmasters Appointed.
