THE FAIL OF KHARTOUM AND DEATH
OF CORDON 8TILL IN DOUST.
Messengers Just Arrived Roy Cordon
Held Khartoum 81s Dnys Ago—Par
liament Soonlto be Dissolved
—Dynamite Threats.
[RLSeKATHID TO THI ASSOCIATED raise.]
London, February 14.—The Standard
this alternoon publishes a dispatch from
its correspondent *t Kortl, stating that a
messenger juit arrived at Korti declares
that Khartoum hes not been captured by
the Ushdi. Xu* messenger, the corres*
pendent says, asserts that he left Khar
toum six days after Col. Sir Charles Wil
son appeared before the city In the boats
sent from Gubat, and that when he (the
messenger) left Qen. Gordon still held
Khartoum. The government officials
do not believe the messenger's story, slid
state that no official information confirm
atory of it has be-n received.
Another dispatch from Korti states that
messengers wno have arrived there from
Khartonm profess ignorance regarding the
fall of Khartoum or of the death of Gor
don. The Mudir of Dongola refuses to
credit the reports conrern ug the capture
of Khartoum by the Ushdi and the mas
sacre of Gordon and the garrison under
his command. The authorities here an
nounce this afternoon that they do not be
lieve the messengers' statements rest on
a satisfactory basis.
Kobti, February It—Messengers have
arrived here from Khartoum. Tney were
six days on the journey. The news they
bring of recent events at Khartonm baa
not yet been made known.
STILL CLINGS TO HOPE.
London, February 14.—Tne Times atilt
dings to the hope that General Gordon is
alive. It thinks the saddle-bag document
was possibly a ruse made nee of in the
hope of preventing the British advance
upon Khartoum by making it appear that
It was then too late to rescue Gordon.
The Times asks: "If Gordon has been
killed and Khartoum captured, why did
theMahdi not let Colonel Wilson land
there and massacre him and bis party?"
DYNAMITE THREATS.
The authorities have again received let
ters containing warnings that 8L Paul’s
Cathedral and the Bsnk of Kngland are to
be attacked with dynamite. Detectives
Boper and Wilson, two of the government's
principal witnesses against Cunningham
and BurtoD, are annoyed by the frequent
reception of threats against their lives.
Recently theso threats have bsen written
on paper stamped with a skull and cross
bones and apparently leaned by some mur
derous orginlzstlon. Detective Roper has
received a letter advising him to order his
coIBd, and assuring him that be would
“meet hla fate” before next Monday.

6t. Louis, February 11.—Wm. Ray, an
escaped lunatic from [Seneca Falls, N. Y.,
was arrested here to-day tor threatening to
remove President Cleveland. He entered
the office of the health depart
ment and Introduced himself
Dr. William Ray, and entered
into a discussion with Dr. Dorsett regard
ing the conduct of insane asylums and the
treatment cf tho Insane. He suddenly
paused in the midst of an argument, said
that Cleveland ought to be removed, and
that he had been (elected by divine power
to do the removing. Dr. Dorsett agreed
to this proposition, whereupon the medi
cal expert drew bis chair up close and pro
ceeded in a confidential unuertone:
“Yes; we are agreed that be ought to be
removed, but the question is, how? I've
studied the question np. I've got it down
to a fine poluL I have been to Washing
ton and am acquainted with every inch
of the ground. There are several differ
ent ways, but any one of them would
do. Now, supposing ho waa walking

Dlan, bnt don’t like it as well as my other
plans, for I don't believe I could escape no
easily from the depot. Now if you would
let me know which you think the beat way
to remove him.”
The man's eyes flashed and Ilia whole ap
pearance underwent a change. Ur. Dor-
aett, ass soon as possible, summoned the
police, and the dangerous crank was ar
rested. When searched a long sheath
knife waa found upon hla person. He was
locked np and an Investigation showed he
had recently escaped from the asylum at

New York, Februrry 13.—Speaking ol
the iron trade, the Evening Past this after
noon says:
“It any one doubts that the mercantile and
industrial Interests of the United Sla'es
have been steadily tecovering for the last
two months, the continued resumption of
work in more and more Iron-worklDg estab
lishments from month to month ought to
dispel his doubts. An instance in point is
the telegraphic reports from Troy, N. Y-,
of yeste- dsy, saying that all the nail and
Iron works that have heretofore resumed
were working up to their fall capacity,
and that this week three other iron
works, employing about 1600 men,
would also resame work. In
the last month not less than fifty inch es-
tabliihmenta in various parts ol the conn
try, employing probably 30,000 men, have
started np. The lower prices for anthra
cite coal in the last two months havs been
an important factor in encouraging the re
sumption of work In iron in the Northern
Atlantic States. In view of the compe
tition of the cheaper Southern iron
from Alabama, and the competition of
the bituminous coal of the West, tbs pros
pects are that this lower rtDge of prices
for coal and iron moat be to some degree
permanent. In short, we have started
into a new era in the iron indnstry, in
which the importation of foreign iron will
contlnneto diminish with the result of
contributing largely to continue the
balance of trade Tn our favor, and thus
bring us gold from abroad instead of Iron.”

He was perfectly cool, slept well last night
and ate a hearty breakfeast and dinner.
The time for tbe execution was set at 1:30

the culprit that he would take dinner be
fore being hanged. Hla neck was broken
by the fall. All tbe prisoners of the jail
were admitted to the yard to witness the
execution.

John C. Wall in Au<n«t, were banged here

that he was innocent.

The Insane Wards Entirely Destroyed—
Twenty-eight Patients ore Burned.
|TELEGRAPHED TO THS ASSOCIATED FRESS.j
Philadelphia, Pa.,‘Febrnary 13.—The
fire last night at the almshouse entirely de
stroyed that portion Of the institution set
apart for the insane. Of the 031 lnnatlcs
confined there many are missing, but it is
thought most of them wandered away.
At 9 o'clock ibis morning two more
charred bodies were found in ward No. 2.
They had been roasted beyond all recog
nition. Several human forms can be seen
in the burning wreck in tbe cellar. It is
now thoneht lhat twenty-eight o( the in
mates perished. That number of violent
patients were locked In cells on tbe third
floor and could not be reached. Eight have
been taken out dead and the others are
not acconnted for. There seems no doubt
that they are lost among tbe mins. During
tbs night many insane persons were found
wandering in different pans of the city,
some nearly naked. The poor creatures
generally seem unable to understand the
situation, and In some oases begged pit
eously not to throw them in the river.
Others seemed to take it as a grand joke,
nnd laughed gleefully when the subject of
fire was mentioned. Another c»me Hying
down South street early this morning witli
a manacle attached to his wrist and n few
links of chain dangling from it. He shout
ed and laughed as he struck right and left
among the frightened penple. It was
found necessary to use v'olence and Knock
him down before he could be secured. An
other madman caused n panic in a street
car by rnsbing in half clad and with his
face scorched and blackened. He sank cow
ering in a corner, and it was soon found
that he was more frigitened than those
who had run away.
Reports that the streets were fall of
maniacs caused much alarm in West Phil
adelphia, and strangers look npon each
other with much distrust. The firemen
are still at work on the
rains. They are weary and half frozen,
each man's helmet and coat appearing as
bard as armor, but their searcb Is contin
ued steadily. There appears to have been
a great deal of unnecessary trouble caused
by rotten hose and scarcity of water. To
remedy the latter failing a dozen brawny
firemen chopped a hole in the thick ice on
the Schuylkill river,bnt when the hose was
introduced mad and grinding bits of ice
split the leather, and their attempt was a
failure. Tbe confusion (boat the ruins, the
craftiness of the insane people in secreting
themselves, the promlscuoas manner in
which they are being cared ior, and tbe
utter weariness of those who have had
them in charge prevent an accnrate esti
mate being made of the losa of life and
property.
A POOR HOUSE BURNED,
And Nineteen or tne Insane Ocouonnts

[telegraphed to tub associated press.]
Philadelphia, February 12 —A fire
broke out In the insane department of the
conntry almshouse in West Philadelphia
about 9 o'clock to-nigbt. The flames
spread rapidly and before the 300 inmates

burned to death. Tbe others were left to
roam about the grounds at will, and many
ot them were picked up by the police
throughout tne city. The bnildings are
(at 11 o'clock) still bjrning. and tbe other
departments are in great danger.
Mlae Eva Mackny Married to Prince Co-
lonna In Parle Yesterday.
Pabis, February 12.—All the beat people
of Paris have for weeks been on the tiptoe
of expectation about Miss Msckay's pros
pective wedding. It is not often the
daughter of a poor American physician
becomes the step-daughter of an enor
mously rich millionaire and finds for a
husband a prince of one of the oldest
families of Italy. This baa been Miss
Msckay’s envied fortune, and naturally
enough the numerous friends and ad
mirers of both the American and Roman
branches of the families are as happy as
they can be.
Tbe betrothal of Miss Eva Mackay. step
daughter of the Bonanza King, to Prince
Ferdinand Coloana. of the famous old
Homan family of that name, was announc
ed in December and from that time to
this tne brilliant nuptials have been the
talk of tbe elite of Paris. Finally the
happy day arrived. In accordance with
F, each law and custom there has been
a civil and a religious performance of the
marriage ceremony.
Yesterday the civil marriage was per-
formed, with m little Ado as is necesaary
to get through tbe formal undertaking.
It eonsists mainly in a mutual signing of
certain legal papers, a record of which is
kept by the civil authorities, but until all
tbe sacred rites of the church have been
observed the marriage is not complete.
The witnesses to the civil ceremony were
Prince Coloana Doris. Prince Colonna,
United Blates Minister Morton and Duke
Decazes. And after this the expectant
bride jmd bridegroom dreamed their
dreams of bliss again until to-dav.
Miss Eva Mackay, the bride] is well
known to American readers. The bride
groom, Pilnce Ferdinand Colonna, of
Galatro, belongs to the Neapolitan branch
of the illnatrlous Colonna family, the
Colonna-Stlgliano. Don Ferdinand is
twenty-seven years old. Ho is the eon of
Don Andre Colonna, who died twelve
years ago, and nephew of Prince Marc
Antonie, chief of tbe Neapolitan branch.
Tbe other branches of the family are the
Colonna-Paliano, Colonna-Sciarra, Bar-
berini-Colonna, all of Rome, and Colonna*
Romano, of Palermo.
The Coionnas and tlia Orslnia were the
two moat powerful families of Rome da

New York Sun.
Washinoton, February 11.—A few
grains of wheat have been gathered out of
the mass of chaff which the pilgrims
brought back a few days ago from New
York. There la no donbt that the treasury
portfolio was formally offered to and
pressed upon Mr. Randall last Friday, at
the very time the politicians were dispos
ing of it positively In another direction.
It is no secret that Mr. Tilden regards
Mr. Randall as beat fitted of all our leading
public men for this responsible trust, and
that he has freely expressed this opinion,
so that It might reach the President-elect
in a way to impress him with the import
ance of the suggestion.
Daring a visit to Greystono a month
ago, which was invited with reference to
this subject, Mr. Randall closed it definite
ly- He said that tin matter mast be dis
missed once for all, because he could not
accept the Treasury if it were at his dis
posal,-as he preferred his present post in
’ i P, 0 ] 186 ot Representatives to any that
might be tendered him.
In a subsequent interview with Mr.
Cleveland, at Albany, regret was expressed
by the President-elect that Mr. Randall
bad closed the door against himself, dis
appointing an expectation that had bsen
cherished since tne resBlt of th» election in
November had become assured.
These conferences were supposed to ter
minate any probability ot Mr. Randall's
name being further considered inconnec-
tion with the cabinet, when he was sud
denly summoned to New York last week.

The religions and important part o( tbe
marriage ceremony wu performed to-day.
It waecomparatively priva e andveryse-
lect. There were forty persona present.
The naptial benediction was administered
by Monsicnor de Hende.who also delivered
the marriage address. The ceremony was
accompanied with Pontifical High Mass
administration, and the programme was so
shaped u to put him forward for ths treu-

Some of the most prominent leaders of'
the County: Democracy were found t j be
opposed to Mr. Whitney for the treunry;
and others joined in the opposition, be
cause he is the son-in-law of M-. Pavne. of
Ohio, and is alleged to be identified with
tbe Standard oil monopoly.
These protests undoubtedly made an
impression on Mr. Cleveland's mind
•gainst a strong inclination to resist it and
to carry ont his own original purpose.
Bnt he had made the treasury the key of
the situation, and it was indispensable to
organize the cabinet without special refer
ence to that point.
In the mldat of these complications and
derangements Mr. Rsndall was asked to
relieve them by taking the Treasury. He

Tbe speculations regarding Mr. Bayard
will soon be settled. He can have tbe De

son to believe he will acceDt it. At no
time, anl in no way. has Mr. Bayard en
couraged the idea of bis going into the
treasury. In fact, he la known to have
frowned upon it, as far as delicacy might
allow him to do so. In regard to an un
authorized proposition.
He has bad misgivings abont leaving the
Senate, and has exprrssed them to inti
mate friends freely. Bat he has about
concluded to pat them aside, it his pres
ence in the new administration is regard
ed by Mr. Cleveland as important to its
decided success or to the advancement of

So far as known, Mr. Cleveland's mind
is nnaettled in regard to other seats in tbe
cabinet, thongh he has blocked out a chart
with the names most approved by hia
knowledge of the men to fill it np. This
chart la open to correction, and may be re
vised or even reconstructed before a final
decision Is reached.
Mach comment Is excited here over tbe
non-appearance of Mr. Thurman at Albany
or New York. Standing a hesd and ahonL
ders above the ran of so-called leaders,
and distinguished for great qualities of
head and heart, the omission to consult
hisexperience and wise judgment seems to
be remarkable. No man in tbe Democratic
party enjoys more of its deserved confi
dence than Mr. Thurman. And, strange
as it mar seem, the young Repub
licans of Ohio, though trained in an ad
verse school of politics, cherish him wilb
affection, as an eminent citizen who has
reflected honor on the State, and whose
pnbl c and private chertcter are examples
be admired and emulated.
No offloe in the gilt of tbe President
could elevate Mr. Thnrman above the dU-
tinetlon be has already reached. He does
not desire office of any kind. Bnt this la
no sufficient reason why his valuable ser
vices should not he considered, end bis
counsel sought wheu It is most important.
