TELEGKAPHIO.
A. Seattle Murder Comes to Llsht.
Seattle, Wash., June 3. Tbe mutil
ated remains of Leon Richards, a logger,
who has long lived on Mercer island.
were found this morning in Lake Wash
ington near bis cabin. He disappeared
May 4th. and it is thought he was
murdered bv an Italian named Antone
Palazio, wbo worked for him. Palazio
has not been seen since May 3. The motive
loi the murder is not known. Kichards
body was discovered tbis'morning at
o'clock by W. G. Cieg'g, a- farmer, who
lives oc Mercer island near the lopge
cabin. He was rowing across Lake
Washington to Seitttle when he came
across the body. He found that the face
ot the logger was cut a dozen places by a
knife, while there were deep knife
wounds in the breast and abdomen. The
head was crushed in, tho wound being
probably inQicttd with an az. Around
tbe head was a rope, at the other end of
which was a loop. The loop was rotten
and had parted, indicating that the
murderer had tied a rock in the rope.
and, after rowing the body out into tbe
lake, bad thrown it overboard. In time
the rope around tbe rock, becoming rot
ten, bmke and the body came to tbe sur
face. Richards' cabin was examined,
and the stove was found kicked to piece?,
while blood stains were on tbe floor and
walls. The coroner was notified to night,
and will hold an inquest to morrow.
Paid The Penalty.
Kalama, June 3. Robert Thompson
Day was banged here to day 10 tbe
courthouse yard for the murder, of
Thomas Clinton Beebe last October.
The execution was a pnblic one aud
was witnessed by about 200 people.

aud spoke (or 10 minutes, reviewing his
Ire. tie denud tho charge ot. beirg a
vicioas and detperate character. '

and without a tremor until be came to
speak of his wife and children, when be
wasvi.ibiy affected. He recovered him

Keelproctty With IRextce.
Monterey, Cal., June 3. From pri
vate advices reciyed in this city it is re
ported that Bomuldo Pacheco, United
States minister to Guatemala, wbo is
well known in this place, is soon to dis
place Minister Iiyau as the accredited
representative of tbe United States in
Mexico. TDis contemplated change in
Pacbeco's mission is said to be due to a
desire of the secretary of state to success
fully establish reciprocity with Mexico.
Tbe negotiations between our govern
ment and Guatemala, which resulted, in
tbe'udoption of reciprocity by the Utter,
were managed by Pacheco, who is ot
Spanish origin and peculiary adapted
for such delicate diplomatic work. This
success has inspired the administration
with tbe belief that Pacheco can indnce
the Mexican government to respond to
its desire for closer reciprocal relations.
What disposition is to be made of Ryan
oonot be ascertained. Pacheco will
leave San Francisco for Guatemala Sat
urday, but is expected to return soon to
assume bis duties at bis new post.
Cltildren Killed by Lightning.
Scranton, Pa., June 8. A terrific
thunder storm played havoc throughout
Lackawanna county last night. It ba
gan early in the evening and continued
until 3 this morning. Three boys and
oue girl were struck by lightning, two
being killed outright and tbe ottjer fa
tally lniured. When the storm first
came ud two Polish boys, Joseph and
Caskir Cboniczky, were caught beneath
large oak tree in boutb Scranton.
Catkir was part of the wuy up the tree,
while Joseph was standing underneath,
when it was struck by lightning. Joseph
was instantly killed aud Caskir was set
on firo by he electric fluid. He ws
frightfully burned before aid could reach
him, and he die t this morning. In the
Hyde Park section the 3-year-old son ot
Sylvester Arnold was struck and fatally
niored. At Eimburst, seven miles east
ot this city, a girl named Andrews, while
seeking shelter under a tree, was killed
by a thunderbolt. ,
A Terrible Tornado..
Vienna, June 3. The Agram-Brod
mail train was wrecked by a tornado
near Nowska station last night, and the
passengers had a fearful experience.
Suddenly complete darkness fell upon
the' train. Tbe engineer and fireman
croncbed upon tbe floor of the engine. A
terrific gust lifted tbe engine, weighing
70 tons, and five carriages, and threw
tbcm over an embankment into a cutting
half - full of water. Tbe station at
Nowska was converted into n hospital
for tbe injured, 23 in number.
Fell from The Cab.
Spraoxte, Wash., June 3. Engineer
George Jurvis, while coming from tbe
west this morning, when between Provi
dence and Scott stations, noticed a bot
pin, and not wishing to stop, climbed out
ot tbe cab window to oil it. In doing
so be fell overboard. His life was saved
from the fact that he fell upon soft,
sandy loam. Tbe train was rnnmng 20
miles an bous. Serious injuries, however,
were sustained. .
roar Hundred K.llled.
Prague, June 3. Tbe frightful roll of
casualties in tbe disaster in the Birken
berg silver mine increases. It is now
known that fully '400 miners lost their
lives. Many bodies were burned beyond
recognition. . The accumulation of gas in
tbe mioe greatly interferes . witb the
work of removal of corpses, and it is be
lieved that tbe work of rescue will not be
completed inside of a fortnight.
. Dire Oeatruetlon.
On. City, Pa., Jane 5. Never before
in tbe history of Oil City and the oil
country has such disaster, excitement and
tut moil been. seen, at tbe city is now wit
nessing, At 11 ;45 this morning, the city
and conntry for miles around, was
startled by two explosions, occurring nl
rnosi simultaneously.. Oil creek was a
raging torrent, and fully a thousand peo
ple were watching the waters. . About
11 :30 a grern fluid was noticed on tbe
water. This increased in quantity and
finally colored almost tbe en ire waters
of tbe creek. Tbe smell of gas and oil
was perceptible, and the danger of fire
was commented opoo. The words were
scarcely uttered when two hundred yards
op the- stream a mass of flames shot
heavenward. The people stampeded like
cattle and started for tbe hills. Scarcely
bad tbey started when tbe explosion ten
tbe air, and the entire creek for a bun
dred feet seemed one seething mass of
name and smoke. The . panic-stricken
crowd shrieked madly in their efforts to
escape. Women and children were
trampled under foot and some severely
bruised. An engine on tbe Western
New York & Pennsylvania railroad
passed a tank of gasoline standing on a
siding. Ibe tank was leaking, and as
tbe engine passed a mass of flame shot
into the air and tbe earth seemed to
shake, with an awful tremor. It is sup
posed toe engineer ana tireman were
killed by tbe force of the explosion.
THE CITY IN FLAMES.
In an instant the fire swept madly
over tbe entire upper part of the city.
which was flooded by the oily water
from tbe creek. Men, women and chil
dren, wbo were moving from their homes,
were caught by tbe deadly flames, aud it
not burned to death outright, were
drowned in tbe raging flood. Ghastly
bodies were taken from tbe flood, and
are now lying on tbe railroad track un
recognized. It is impossible to give an
estimate of tbe number of lives lost. For
miles up tbe creek on both sides, everv
thing Is in ru:ns and hundreds of families
are rendered homeless. Verv little, if
any, property was saved, and tbe sky for
miles around is all II black with tbe
smoke irom tbe burning dwellings and
oil tanks. When tbe explosions occurred
the people were knocked down from the
force of the shocks, and every window
within a radius ot two blocks was brokea.
The panic dnring tbe height of the ex
citement was something fearful, and il is
remarkable Ibat no one was killed by tbe
horses and tbe wild and frantic mob.
Tbe water in Oil creek is falling slowly
now, and it is hoped tbe worst is over.
In tbe upper part ef town about 100
dwellings were destroyed by fire, and
owing to the depth of the water tbe fire
department was helpless. This part of
tbe city is blockaded with lumber, sheds
and roots of bouses, which have floated
down. Tbe sight from the hilltops about
town is awful, and beyond description.
The loss of property is placed at from
$750,000 to $1,000,000. Some 15 or 20
bodies have been recovered and identi
fied. Tbe third ward is us level as a field.
THE HORRORS INCREASING. -
The horrors of tbe situation are in
creasing on every band, like the grim
sentinels who are guaiding each way of
death with their muskets. Tbe drizzling
rain that fell all ntgbt has changed into
an almost steady downpour. More bodies
are being unearthed, literally torn from
masses of debris made solid by the flood.
Out in the midd.e of Seneca street, parties
of men are - coming and- going, witb
stretchers between them weighed - down
with a body. They return troui the
morgues immediately expecting to fiud
many more bodies. Some places three
feet, or more, of mud covers the streets,
the sidewalks are torn from their founda
tions and piled in confusion. Most of
tbe bouses are dark.- In some oil lamps
burn dimly and there is mourning over a
dead husband, wife or child. There are
dozens ot such places wbere eyes are
sleepless besides tbe corpse . of a loved
one. At 10:30 o'clock, two unknown
men were found nnder tbe timbers at tbe
bead of Seneca street. . Their bodies are
mutilated beyond recognition. A few
minutes later, two children were found,
their bodies burned to a crisp.
At Titusvllle.
' Tittjsvtlle, Pa., June 5. Tbe city ot
Titnsville was visited during tbe past 24
hours by one of tbe most disastrous fires
and floods in all tbe history of the region.
Oil creek overflowed us banks, and for
hours swept through tbe city in tbe pro -portions
of an almost resistless flood. The
city is without fuel, lights and water
works, and is surrounded by water. Tbe
Perry street and Franklin street iron
bridges are swept away, scores of cheap
dwellings in the lower part of the city
destroyed, and a large number of; lives
lost. Some were burned, but the ma
jority were drowned. When morning
bro'ie, hundreds of anxious people look
ed out of the windows, or stood on tbe
roofs of tbeir houses, waiting for a help
ing ;iand and trembling for their late.
To add to the horror of the scene, rain
fell in torrents and fire broke out in the
refineries at different points.. Tbe burn
ing oil swept down a raging current, and
communicated to tbe manu factoring ts
tablishments and honees, aud tbe. des
truction was increased a hundredfold. -
Blaine In the Baee.
Washington, June 4. The following
correspondence explains itself:
Department of State, ) .
Jane 4, 182. J '
To the President: I respectively beg to
submit my resignation of tbe office of
secretary ot state of tbe United Sta'et, to
which I was appointed by yon on tbe 5th
of March, 1889. The condition ot the
public business in tbe department of
state justifies my requesting that my res
ignation may be accepted immediately.
I have the bocor to be, very respectively,
your Obedient servant. '
'James G. Blaine,
the accetancs.
A short time after the receipt of tbe
above at tbe White House, President
Harrison sent tbe following to Mr. Biainc:
. Executive Mansion, June 4, 1892.
To the Secretary of State: Yopr letter of
this date, 'tendering your resignation of
tbe office ot secretary of state of tbe
United States, baa been received. . Tbe
term in which you state your desires are
such as to leave me no choice but to
accede to your wishes at once. Your
resignation is therefore accepted.
. Benjamin Harrison,
by. whom delivered.
.. Washington, June 4. Blaine's resig
nation was taken to the White House by
bis private secretary, who placed it in
the bands of tbe president about 1 o'clock.
Soon after reading it tbe president de
scended to the east room and bad his
usual Saturday afternoon public recptiou.
Two. hundred people were present, none
of whom, as be shook the . president's
hand, could bave told, from bis cool and
collected manner, that anything unusual
had happened. Indeed, the president
seemed"better than usual, and made
yfe icitious replies to tbe greetings of tbe
visitors. After the reception tbe presi
dent returned to the library, addressed a
letter to Blaine accepting bis resignation,
gave It to Private Secretary Halford, witb
instructions to deliver it at once. Halford
took it to Blaine's bouse, and placed it in
bis hands. This is tbe whole story of tbe
transaction.
: Horrible Death Keenest.
Tttdsville. Pa., June 6. Horrible
was tbe scene which presented itself this
morning when the tun rose over tbe
eastern bills and exposed a mass of
blaekened and charred timbers of what
were once tbe hornet of prosperous me
cnanics and merchants. -
Ruin was complete. Not vestige of
what was a few hours' before a prosper
ous town remains to mark the enterprise
of the citizens, many of whom lie be
neath tbe wreck, an unrecognizable mass
of charred bones and flesh.
Tbe flood and burning oil combined
did their work of destruction, so that
nothing remains. Tho tie is still rag
ing, and it is expected that not a build
ing will be left standing.
Terrible are the sights witnessed by
the rescuers. Whole families are being
found locked in each other's embrace,
showing that death visited tbem simul
taneously. The charred trunks and bloated bodies
are being taken to the higher ground and
laid nnder temporary sbeds to protect
them from the sun's rays, and the list is
increasing rapidly.
1 he dead are lying everywhere, nd
there is a constant stream of stretchers
from the burnt districts to the rude
morgues bearing all that is mortal of some
unfortunate victim.
Titcsvillk, Pu., June 6. Never in
the history ot Titusville has such a scene
of desolation been unfolded to trie gaze
as an Associated Press representative saw
this morning when he entered the main
thoroughfare. The first sight was six
men carrying a dead body on a stretcher.
Within 15 minutes the sight became so
common that it caused little surprise.
it is now estimated tbat ;UU persons
were drowned or burned to death.
The weather is growing warm, aud the
charred flesh is beginning to pollute tbe
air.
The fire was caused by a spark from a
locomotive.
Mechanic street, occupied by the
poorer classes for residences, is simply
blotted out of existance. Not a vestige
of a dwelling on that street is left stand
ing. The greatest loss of life ocenred
there.
,l,e fire and flood was to swift that
whole families were swept away before
tbey realized their danger.
Tbe volume of tbe flood was greatly
increased by tbe breaking of dams at
Kiciville and spartansburg.
The Uuccn City laundry -has just
caught fire and threatens the unburnt

New York, June 6 Mural Halstcad
wires from Minneapolis to the Telegram:
Tbe convention is certain to be cne full
of those dramatic incidents and scenes
which seem always to be conuected with
Blaine's ambition. The proceedings will
possess extraordinary interest. It will
be impossible to .exaggerate the import
ance of tbe action, taken and mark this,
above a'.), that the public opinion of tbe
country as it may reach tbe convention
through telegrams of information to dele
gates, will in all probability bave a con
trolling influence, bo delicate are the
balances, tbe breath of tbe people will
turn them. There is shouting and song
singing, and maniacal yells in tbe to
bacco cloud that floats in the splendid
rotunda of the West house, but some
hundreds of delegates would be happy to
bear direct from, and bo instructed by
their constituents."

weeds, and cultivating the ground, to at to
keep tbe moisture for next year's crop,

A successful Oregon fruit grower made
the remark: "I would rather cultivate
prunes than anything that grows. . .Last
year my four year old trees yielded ma from
200 to 250 pounds to tbe tree of large and
bountiful fruit. Counting 75 treat to the
acre, tbit average would get abont 8 ton
to tbe acre, worth at last year's prices, .
dried and packed, abont $350. Two and a
half of tbe fresh makes one pound of the
dried artiule. Thus I get equivalent of $52
per ton for the green, lest the cost of dry
ing, which it very small, it 1 bad a good
ten acre prune orchard, tix or seven years
old, nobody's $30,000 could touch it."
