Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 16.—What proved
to be the most disastrous fire that has

when the rope became ignited from a
burning sill, parted and the woman fell to
the pavement, her brains dashed out and
her body flattened.
AMBULANCES IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

A WRONG IMPRESSION.
Senator Brown Not in the Senatorial
Race—Gar trail's Article.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct IS.—Quite a sensa
tion ha* been produced by the suggestion
conveyed in an Associated Press dispatch
sent out last night that Senator Brown
contemplates speaking against Gordon at
the state fair, and incoming specials
intimating the same thing. but
in stronger terms emphasized this
impression, and the matter has been
freely discussed. In spite of the sen
ator’s denial, a great deal has been suid
about the chances of his becoming himself
a candidate to succeed himself, such being
the only explanation satisfactory to the
minds of these political prophets of his
motive for attempting to infiueuce the result
of the campaign.
Senator Brown was reported absent when
asked for to-nigut, but as far as your cor
respondent can learn he has said nothing at
all about entering the senatorial race iu his
Macon speech.
The newspaper man with whom the inter
view was held upon which the press articles
giving that impression apjiear to have been
founded, states that such was not at all tne
idea conveyed to bis mind by the senator’s
conversation.
gartrell’s article.
Since Gen. Gartrell published his recent
article ou the sub-treasury plan he has
been looked upon here as a more than prob
able candidate for the Senate, and to-day he
is reported to have committed hiruj
self as such, though, as yet, not formally
announced. The general could not bo found
this afternoon to verify the report, but it
comes from a reliable source, and be may be
confidently regarded in the race. The
prospect is that the candidates for
the Senate will go on multiplying
as long as Livingston sees fit to h old. up his
band. By and by it will come down
with a bang, and the issue will nar
row down to its starting poiut,
Livingston against Gordon. Such, at least,
is the prediction of the knowing ones in
Atlanta.
A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Three Lives Lost Because of a Hus
band’s Groundless Reproaches.
Philadelphia, Oct. 15.—A special from
Perth Amboy, N. J., to the Inquirer says:
“The residents of Perth Amboy are horri
fied over a double suicide and supposed
murder which occurred hero to-day. For
some time past Gader Showdash and his
wife have lived most unhappily
together, quarrels being frequent between
them on account of the husband charging
his wife with infidelity. Ihe accusation
soerns to have been utterly groundless, and
Mrs. Showdash resented it bitterly. Yes
terday Showdash reproached his wife again
with infidelity, and the quarrel that fol
lowed between them was more than usually
bitter.
POISONED HERSELF.
After Showdash left his home to go to
work this morning his wife soaked the
heads of a quantity of matches in water,
and swallowed the poisonous liquid. Her
moans attracted the attention of neighbors
and medical assistance was speedily sum
moned. but all efforts to save her life were
unavailing, and she died in great agony.
SHOT HIMSELF.
When Showdash reached his house his
wife was dead. Stricken with remorse at
the awful result of their quarrel, he pro
cured a revolver and shot and killed him
self.
FOUND THE DEAD BODY.
During the excitement produced by the
tragedy the young babe of the couple was
forgotten, but when the people in the house
had recovered from their first terror the
child was sought for. To their horror it
also was found to be dead, and, alhtough it
is not vet known positively, it is supposed
that the mother, before she killed herself,
administered some of the poison to the
baby.
DIED IN A FIT.
A Young Girl Found Dead In a Closet
at Pensacola.
Pensacola, Fla., Oct 15.— Minnie Will
iams, aged about 16 years, was found about
3 o’clock this afternoon dead in a water
closet on the premises of her grandmother,
who resides in the western portion of the
city. The decea-ed girl resided in Milton,
and came here about two mouths since on
a visit to her relatives. She has been sub
ject all her life to fits, but had not suffered
from an attack since her arrival here until
to-day. About noon she was seized with a
fit, which soon passed off. Shortly after
ward she went out to the oloset, and the
family, becoming alarmed because of her
long absence, went to look for her, and
found her lying on the floor dead. Her
head was resting under her body. She prob
ably fell in this condition, and it is supposed
she smothered to death.

wounded by John Madden, a brother officer,

war ensued. Since then Junge has sought
to get even for the epithets applied to him
by Madden at that time, and has several

for entering saloons in uniform
contrary to regulations. It was

revenue outter Richard Rush arrived to
day, four days from Port Townsond. Capt.
Couison said:
“We have not seen a hundred seals this
season between Ounalaska and the islands
going to and fro, and the rookeries are de
serted. The fact that tho Northwestern
Commercial Company obtained only 21,000
skinsgoes far toward sustaining the assertion
tnat seals are declining in numbers. We saw
only five vessels the entire season in the sea
itself, and if they were at work, they did it
entirely to the westward. We saw no ap
pearance on board the crafts that they
were engaged in illegal work, but we
warned them off."

PORTUGAL’S NEW CABINET.
Proposed Polioy of the Government
Outlined by tbe Premier.
Lisbon, Oct. 15.—The regener idoes aud
progressists have agreed to maintain an
expectant bat benevolent attitude toward
the now ministry. The cabinet has an
nounced its determination to prohibit the
republican press from using tcurrillou*
language regarding the King of Portugal or
Great tlrltian.
In the cortes in tbe prosenon of all the
adulators Senhor Sousa, the new prime min
isters read a statement of his proposed
pollov. He said he was tumble to recom
mend the sanction of the convention with
E igland, further than it bad already been
sanctioned. The government identified
itself with the national scntlmeut on this
question, and would willingly accept modi
fications which, while preserving the dig
nity and interests of the nation, would
facilitate the restoration of harmony
with our ally; but he feared
If the Zambesi reports wore true, it would
bo harder than ever to arrive at an agree
ment, whioh Portugal always slnoerely de
sired. Parliament, he said, would be con
voked whenever the cabinet arrival at a
decision requiring its assistance. The ns
tion’s credit had been attacked by private
interests abroad, but not shaken. The gov
ernment would devote itself to economical
measures In order to reduce national
expenses.
The premier asked parliament to sink
political passions and give the government
the supjiort it needed on these two important
questions.
The statement was afterward read in both
houses. The leaders of the various parties
marie short speeches, in which they gave
assuranou of an attitude of good will toward
tho government.
Menhor Ferraro explained that tbe failure
of his attempt to form a ministry was due
to the disturbed state of Internal political
effairs. lie had proposed two courses of
action. The first proposition embraced
these suggestions: First, that the oonveu
tion with England be adopted pure and
simple; second, that negotiations tie
opened with England with a view
of modifying the convention; third
that the oonvontion he adopted provision
ally, with oertain points reserved for fur
ther negotiations with England. His sec
ond proposition was that the convention be
submitted to the public of Europe. At n
joint sitting of the two houses the royal
decree was read closing tho session. The
constitutional date for tbe opening of tho
cortes is Jan. 2, 1891.
AH VIEWED IN LONDON.
London, Oot. 16, 3 a. m. — The Timet
says: “Unless tho Portuguese cabinet is
prudent enough to change its mind, or the
chambers are wise enough to dismiss it, we
must be ooutent to oousider the convention
with England repudiated and the Conces
sions that it oontalned withdrawn. English
men would not lament over such a result,
while the African colonists would bold it
with delight.”
The Standard thinks that Premier
Sousa’s object is to appease party feeling,
and that it is not likely his decision will be
final.
NOT SATISFACTORY.
Lisbon, Oct. 16, 8 a. m.— lt seems that
the new ministry is not satisfactory to either
party. It is believed that it wifi collapse
after having arranged a se’tlcment of the

Thrilling Story of the Rescue of a
Shipwrecked crew.
New Glasgow, N. 8., Oct 15. — A thril
ling story is that of the rescue of
four mon who remained on the wrecked
bark Melmerby, stranded at Little Harbor
while on a voyage from Quebec for Greene
reck with lumber, and from which the cap
tain, the first and second officers and twelve
men wore drowned.
All day Monday a crowd stood on the
beach watching the poor Unfortunate# on
the crumbling wreck, but tbe spectators
were powerless to uffeot or even attempt a
rescue, so wild was tbe sea, and night set
tled down without any abatement of the
terrific storm. Two men remained on
shore and occasionally waved lanterns to
■how tbe shipwrecked men that they were
not forgotten.
When morning dawned Tuesday an Im
mense concourse assembled, but it was noon
before it was considered at all possible to
make an attempt at rescue. Then a boat
was launohed, manned by a vo u teer orew
consisting of Cnpt. P. Grauain, David
Frazer Williams, Dr. McLeon of
New Glasgow, James Mc-
Glashnn of Big Island and A.
Desconoonsomans. The brave fellows
fought a terrible battle with tho waves, but
eventually reached tho wreck, when a
mighty cheer went up from t e anxioue
watchers on snore. One by one the ex
hausted and benumbed shipwrecked men
wore lowered into the boat, and after a
second desperate battle with the waves,
conveyed safely to land. The work was
facilitated by a liberol use of oil.
Two of tbe rescued men wore fciok, and
one had bis shoulder broken. The
rescued men were Heamen Kane and Evaiis
and the steward and captain of a schooner,
who went to supply the bnrk with provis
ions. and were unable to regain their own
vessel. The stranded Melmerby is fast
breaking up.
