A Fight With Burglars—Death in the Bottle — A New Railway to the Gulf—A Street Car Crushed— Short in His Cash, Death in the Bottle. Wilkesbarre, Pa., February 14.—A fearful disaster, the result of a drunken spree by which six lives were lost, oc-curred Sunday night at Silver Brook, eight miles south of Hazelton. A party of Hungarians went to' Hazelton to at-tend the dedication of a new Polish Cath-olic church. All became drunk and re-turned home in the evening. When they got to the house of a man named Mu-lick, they indulged freely in whisky and beer, maddened by the effects of which they engaged in a fierce fight. Accord-ingto the story of one Ehlman, while this fight was in progress a lighted lamp was overturned, and in an instant the whole room was enveloped in flames and the clothes of .those present set on fire They rushed " wildly for ‘ the doors, which they found locked. In their druhken condition, some of them either did not know what to do or were unable to climb out of the windows, and remain-in£ in the room perished in the flames. Five men and one woman were roasted alive. Their names are John Eiias, John Seddo, John Kobinko, Michael Yank-ovitch, .Maiy Mulick and Paul Syk-awlsee. Mulick and his wife were also badly burned and will die. Mrs. Mulick threw her baby out of a window to save it from the flames, but in falling it was fatally injured. Peter Monks was terribly burned about the upper portion of the body and his inju-ries will prove fatal. Half a dozen oth-ers were badly burned or injured by jumping out ofthe windows. The story of the turning over of a lamp is not be-lieved. It is the opinion of many that there was murder aommitted in the house and it was fired to hide the crime. Investigation is now being made. Capt. Dick Shot to Death. Austin, February 13.—The governor re< eived the following dispatch to-day, dated at Pearsall, Frio county : Have got .Brock Cornett, alias Capt. Dick. He fought to the last; had to kill him in making the arrest. Have you any in-structions?" If not, will bury him to-day. Capt. Dick was the alleged captain of the band that robbed the trains at Me- Neill and Flatonia. He was an escaped convict and his aliases were numerous. Sheriff Olive Jof Williamson county, who was at Pearsall to hunt up Cornett, or Capt. Dick, tele-graphed the governor later to-day that the dead robber is fully identified as the captain. John Barber and one other of the alleged gang are still at large. Three have been captured and one killed. Barber when last heard from was in south Texas, in DeWitt county, and had a large amount of money, it was reported. An Innocent Man Pardoned. Chicago, February 14.—A dispatch from Columbus, O., says: After serving eight years in the penitentiary on a life sentence, Conrad Rautbach was yester-day pardoned by the governor. The judge that sentenced Rautbach, as well as the jury and prosecuting attorney, nbi< believe that an innocent man was convicted, and but for Gov. Foster, who commuted his sentence to impris-onment tor life, he would have been hung He was received on a life sentence from Shelby county in April, 1880, for killing a man at Hardin, near Sidney, he having previously been sentenced to hang. His sentence was commuted at the time by Gov. Foster to imprisonment for li.e. It is believed by those who signed the ap-plication for pardon that it was a case of mistaken identity. After being released, he appeared at the office of Gov. Fora-ker, and in tears expressed his apprecia-tion of the clemency shown him. A Fight With Burglars. Bridgeport. Ills., February 14.—D. S. Porter, a wealthy farmer, well-known throughout the state, and his wife had a terrible encounter with burglars Sunday night, near Lawrenceville. Early in the evening Mr. Porter responded to a knock at the door, when a man entered and placed a revolver at his head. He threw his assailant to the floor, and while struggling with him, a second man entered and held Mrs. Porter at bay with a revolver. She went at this one with a poker, while her hus-band struggled with the first. Two more of the gang came in to the assistance of their confederates, and a terrific fight ensued. Some of the neighbors became alarmed by this time, and the burglars made a hurried departure. Mr. and Mrs. Porter were badly and perhaps fatally injured. He had received nu-merous cuts from a knife and she was injured internally, besides being badly burned from seizing the wrong end of the poker. The sheriff, with the whole town for a posse, is making vigorous search for the gang. Crushed to Death. New York, February 14.—Shortly before 10 o’clock this morning as a Reed avenue street car filled with people was passing under a large derrick used in erecting the elevated railroad structure on Broadway, near Summer avenue, Brooklyn, the ropes sustaining the der-rick gave way and the derrick fell on the car,crushing it in like an egg-shell. Seventeen of the passengers on the car «>'••* i-ioj-or! and twoneonle were killed. Michael McNally, driver of the car, was crushed to death. Karl Kush-ler. a workman employed on the derrick, was also killed. It was said .that some persons were buried beneath the ruins, and workmen are now engaged in remov-ing the debris to learn if there are other victims of the disaster.. The Pattillo Case. Meridian, Tex., February 14.—W. L. Pattillo, convicted at the August term of the district court of this county and given five years for murder, and whose case has been in the court of appeals since that date, was called for Saturday by the convict contractor to be conveyed to the peni-tentiaiy. The supposed fatal defect in the indictment, claimed to have been discovered by his attorneys here, that only eleven of the twelve grand jurors finding the bill were ever sworn, docs not seem to have had any visible effect on the powers that be in the case. A New Railroad to the Gulf. New York, Februray 14.—The most impoitant news of the day on Wall street comes from Philadelphia. It is a state-ment that the Rock Island railroad proposes to extend its lines by 1200 miles, running tne extension to Denver and the Gulf of Mexico. This work will require $30,000,000, for which new bonds will be issued. The Rock Island, by its proposed Denver extension, will enter into direct competition with the Burling-ton and Quincy, and a new radroad in-volving all the great companies in the west may result. Advice to a Prince. Paris, February 14.—M. Paul DeCas-sagnac, in a letter to Prince Napoleon, requests him to order his son, Prince Louis, to quit the Italian army, which M. DeCassagnac says is openly organi-zing against France, and to take his sword where its point may not be direct-ed against his country’s heart. Snow Storms in England. London, February 14.—There have been very heavy sno\y storms in the west of England, Scotland and Wales. Two trains are snowed up between Bath ancf Bristol. Garden Seed and Onion Sets. Just received from David Landreth & Sons, Philadelphia, a full assortment of garden seed and onion sets for this year’s planting. They are all guaranteed fresh. We bring only the sort that are suitable for this section. New seed potatoes to arrive about February 1. Marshall & Heard. Orders for ice cream, cakes and can-dies solicited from hotels, restaurants, parties arid private families. Special price in quantities; at DeWeil’s.
