An Explosion in New York ' Causes the
Death ot Fully Fifty People No
. Time to Escape.
Two Buildings Totally Demolished"
The Ruins Burning Fiercely The
Work of Rescue.
New York, Aug. 22. One of the
worst disasters which ever happened in
this city occurred just after noon today.
From what- can now be learned fully if
not more than fifty peaple lost their
lives.. The accident came so suddenly
that not a single person in the two big
buildings at Nos. 70 and 72, Park Place,
escaped alive. " A, A. Johnson, a janitor
in the building at No. 81 Park Place,
who was directly across the street when
the accident occurred said he was stand
ing on the steps at No. 81 Park Place at
noon when he heard the sound of an
explosion from across the street, and
almost immediately the front of the
building collapsed, and the entire build
ing caved in with a deafening crash. It
came so suddenly that it was impossible
for a livine being to escape from the
building. On the ground floor of one of
the numbers was a restaurant crowded
with people. The ruins are burning
fiercely and all efforts are being directed
toward getting the names under control
in order that the work of rescue and
recovering the bodies of the dead may be
begran. Three children of Frank Hag-
gerty, the janitor, were playing in the
front wnen tne explosion occurred,
They were killed. The latest reports
say the explosion was caused by steam
which blew up the receiving boiler in
the basement belonging to the steam
heating company.- Roundsmen, tailor,
was passing along Park . Place when he
heard the explosion. 1:1 e ran to the
hardware store and secured a dozen axes
and distributed them to the firemen,
who had Already arrived on the scene.
The firemen and bystanders soon cut a
hole in the side wall of No. 70, out of
wbich seventeen persons crawled, all of
whom bore bruises. Tne police estimate
the loss of life to be between forty and
seventy- ,
AGAIN IT 18 REPORTED.
That Harrison la Not Looklnc
for
Nomination.
Bostost, Aug. , 21. A special to the
Herald from New York says' It is
almost impossible that, after all that has
been said on the subject, President Har
rison is not looking for a second term.
A representative administration repub
lican made this startling statement to
day: Not only is President Harrison
not looking for the nomination, but
when the time cornea he will come out
for Mr. Blaine. The programme is for
Secretary Blaine to tender his resigna
tion, and at the same time offer himself
as a candidate for the presidency. Pres
ident Harrison will refuse to accept the
resignation of his secretary of state, and
will assure Mr. Blaine of his active and
earnest support and everything will be
plain sailing. vvitn no presidential
aspirant in ight, except Mr. Blaine,
the lesser lights would be bidding for
honor of second place, lnis agreement
was Drought about but a short time ago,
for up to last Sunday the president still
had the second-term bug in his bonnet.
This netermination of the president to
forego his attempt to securetre-election
is said to have been reached at the con
ference with Stephen B. Elkins and
Postmaster-General Wannamaker, at
bis Cape May cattage Sunday last.
Wreckers Captare a Vessel.
Key West, Fla., Aug. 21. Word has
been received here that as soon as the
revenue cutter McLane left the wrecked
steamer Eldorado, ashore off Bimini,
the Bahama wreckers, who claimed a
right to the salvage of the ship, made an
attack on her and as they largely out
numbered the Americans, they had no
difficulty in securing possession of her.
Word of the action of the wreckers was
at once telegraphed to the secretary of
the treasury, and telegraphic orders
were quickly received for the McLane
to proceed again to the scene of the
wreck, and protect American interests.
She left at once.-
Chlldren Killed by Lightning.
Berlin, Aug., 21. During a severe
thunder storm today, the lightning
shattered a huge tree on the children's
play ground in the market square. -.A
number of children- had taken shelter
from the storm under the tree, and
three of them were" killed outright,
while several others were hurt, five of
them seriously. .
Evidently a Lie.
San Diego, Aug. 21. A man from New
river basin brings the information that
two large streams of water are flowing
into Sal ton sea from the Gulf of Califor
nia, via a new river. This makes two
sources of supply for the inland sea, and
goes far to establish the claim of the
lake to be permanent.
Heavy Frost Reported.
Booke, Iowa, Aug. 22. A slight frost
was felt this morning here and was re
ported to be quite sharp at Denison and
Vail.
THE CAMPAIGN FOBHALIT OPENED
Major McKlnley Makes a Speech De
nouncing the Democrats.
Niles, O., Aug. 22. The campaign
was formerly opened in Ohio today, on
the part of the republican party; the
principal speaker was Majof McKinley,
candidate for governor, who in his
speech said : "The democratic platform
declares for the free and unlimited coin
age of the silver of the world. The re
publican platform stands in opposition
to anything short of a full and complete
dollar. The free coinage demanded by
the democratic platform means' that, all
the silver of the world can bo brought
to the mints of the United States and
coined at the expense of the government.
That the UnitedStates mint must receive
412 grains of . silver, . worth eighty
cents, the world over. It does not take
a very wise man to see that the short
dollar will become in, time the exclusive
circulating medium of the country
Gold will be taken from circulation of
the country and hoarded, and the effect
will be that the circulating medium will
be reduced to the extent of the gold now
circulating, and we will be compelled to
do the business of the country with sil
ver dollars exclusively. Any interna
tional agreement of the nations which
are on a silver basis alone are the poor
est nations of the world and are in con
stant financial disturbance and inene
terv disorder. '
This he said had been pointed out by
ex-President Cleveland and Governor
Campbell, even had declared he had
deubts about the wisdom of free coinage.
No class of people would suffer bo much
from eighty-cent dollars as the wage
earner and agriculturalist. I am in
favor of double standard but not ol free
and unlimited coinrge, until the nations
of the world join us in guaranteeing free
silver as a status which their laws now
accord to eold. Speaking of the tariff
the major said the reuenue tariff, such
as the democratic party advocates, was
well conceived to benefit every other na
tion but this. He said the failure of reve
nue tariff to supply the wants of the gov
ernment would result in direct taxation.
The epeaker declared under .protective
tariff the public debt was reavced nearly
two thirds and the state debts also have
been reduced. Reciprocity, Major Mc
Kinlev said, is a provision which in no
way encroaches upon the protective
principle, nor can in any way destroy or
undermine'protective tariff. The major
said there was much criticism about the
duty on tin plate and fully as much mis
representation as criticism.
CANADIAN WHEAT.
Yield This ' Year Will
Than Ever Before.
be JLargrer
Toronto, Ont., Aug. 21. More wheat
will be exported from Canada this year
than ever before. The yield in Ontario
will be 30,500,000 bushels, or nearly 10,-
000 more than last year. The Northwest
and Manitoba will yield, it is estimated,
about 63,000,000 bushels. Deducting for
seed a"nd consumption 30,000,000 bushels,
this will leave 33,000,000 bushels for ex
port. - Of this amount, Manitoba expects
to export "25,000,000 bushels of -hard
wheat, the finest Canada produces. ' Last
year the total export of wheat from Can
ada was a little over 25,000,000 bushels.
The crop of wheat in Canada this year
! exceeds anything in the history of the
country. The average yield of fall wheat
per acre this year will be 24 bushels,
or five bushels above the average in the
year past. In Western Ontario some
yields produced as high as 35 bushels an
acre and 63.64 and 65 pounds .to the
bushel. , "
. 3Iust be Built Without Delay.
Topbka, Kan., Aug. 22. The state
board of railroad commissioners ad
dressed a letter to the manager of the
Union Pacific railroad, informing him
that the entire line of the Kansas Cen
tral road must be built without
delay with a new steel track or
steps will be taken to revoke the roads'
charter. Several fatal accidents caused
by defective track resulted in this order
being issued officially, the crmpany can
not afford to lay new track, as the road
is not paying expenses. '
They Will Locate no More.
Portland, Or., Aug., 23. S. A. Mal
lory, J. V. Dimond and a man named
Lusty and one named Pyke were ar
rested today on a charge of conspiracy

THE CRUEL WAVES.
Another Victim at North Beach Todd
Bingham of Portland, Carried out
bv the Tide.
A Little Girl Named Curtiss Drowned
Near Hood River The Campaign
Opened in Ohio.
Astoma, Aug. 22. The cruel waves'
of the Pacific closed over the form of
another pleasure-seeker at North Beach
yesterday, and all that is mortal of Todd
Bingham is somewhere in the depths of
the ocean, near the perpendicular cliffs,
and between North Head and the.
"rocks" below the Willows. In com
pany with Joseph Knott Mr. Bingham
left his home, near Sea View, early yes
terday morning for the purpose of fish-
ing for bass and porgies on. the rocks
1 - - .. t . L 1. A . it 1 1 1 1
which jui uub mui wit: mxun ueiuw tne
Willows. The rocks are a favorite re
sort for fishermen at the bach, and the
men station themselves at various points
along the beach for a distance of nearly
a half a milh. The point selected by
Messrs Knott and Bingham was the
cluster of rocks farthest to the south,
where they climed up to what they sup
posed was a safe place before the tide
began coming in very strong. They
met with good success in fishing and
when the incoming tide warned them
that they must retrace their steps at -once,
or wait until after high water,
they decided to remain on the rock until
the tide turned. This decision cost
Bingham his life. When their only ave
nue of escape was shut off, the waves
began splashing higher aad higher upon
the narrow perch on which they were
seated. The surf yesterday and the day
before was unusually heavy. It kept
splashing over them until about 12:30,
when an unusually high wave swept
both of them from the rock and into a
seething current which eddies around
the cliff in this vicinity. Both of the ,
men were encumbered with guns, boots
and heavy clothing, bnt Knott managed
to free himself of his boots and struck
out for the shore to the northwest.
He turned for a moment to see if he
could be of assistance to Bingham, but
the unfortunate man sung out, "Save
yourself, Joe, don't mind me I can keep
were the last words he spoke, and as Mr.
Knott struggled In the terrific waves he
caught a glimpse of his friend drifting,
down towards a dangerous place, known;
as Dead Man's hole, and from which es
cape is well nigh impossible, owing to.
the perpendicular cliffs that rise up
from the water. Knott in the mean
time was in a fearful position. The tide,...
which was still flooding, had a tendency
to keep him close in against the rocks
where he was in momentary danger of
being dashed against them, and disabled
or killed. Being an expert swimmer,
with splendid endurance, he mansiged to
keep far enough out, and at the eame
time work up the coast to a point where
he could reach the beach. After strug
gling against death itself for over haif an
hour, he finally was thrown on the rocks
at a point where he was able to get out
in an exhausted condition, "8 soon
as possible gave the alarm. .
Drowned at Slocd. River.
Hood Eivee. Ogn., Aug. 22. At f
o'clock this afternoon Mrs. I. J. Watson
came running into Hood River, crying,.
"They are all drowned." She was frn-
tic with excitement and but little infor
mation could be obtained from her ex
cept that a large party, including her
self, all Portland people, while bathing
in the lake one and a half miles west of
town had overturned the raft they were
using and all except herself had been
drowned. She, being able to swim, had
succeeded in regaining the raft and had
paddled to shore. She states there were
several small children on the raft but as
yet no names are available. A largo
number of men have gone to the scene
of the accident to attempt to rescue the
unfortunates,.
The latest report is that a little girl
named Curtis was the only one drowned.
NARROW ESCAPE.
J'rescnce of Mind Saves a Great Loss of
Life. - .
Lawrence, Mass., Aug. 21. The
steamer Startled Fawn, a pleasure-boat
plying on the Merriuaac river, sank last
evening close by the falls above the city.
The boat had about 200 passengers on at
the time, bnt they were all rescued by
boats. The vessel became unmanageable
through the breakingof the tiller-handle,
but .Captain Spates succeeded in running
her upon an obstruction when in the
swift current nfar the falls, Intense ex- .
citemcnt prevailed among the passen
gers, and but for several cool heads a
panic would have occurred among the
women and children, which would prob
ably have resulted in great loss of life.
