being rapidly bought up by frienda of the
Pennsylvania Hall read company, new known
as thn coke syndicate, thn doctor and I felt
that unleas we bought coke land the railroad
would have neon of the trallln when com

would tm oentrollnd by competing lines. We
purchased In all ntieut l,'J acres, Intending
te Innreasn the amount te 0,000 acres.
"At the time mentioned the elder McCa).

trol et the (leading railroad property. He
waa a very able huMnexa man and made no
mistaken that I knew of with the one excep
tion of buying Heading company coat lands
for bends Instead of fir stock, because the
former bore 1) er cent. Interest and the latter
was then paying 10 per cent, dividends. It
Is this mlMakeef Mr. McCnlment'e, who con

that has knowingly been credited te Frank

hopeot forgiveness, ilebsd net received any
Intimation that a reprieve would be granted,
and be went about preparing te pay the

a short confesslon from tbn murderer the
sherlir slipped the noose ever I.eggett's head,

Hn had walked up en the gallows with a linn

waa watching through his cell window the
first gleams et dawu his faithful lawyer was
urging a swift pilr of horses across the
country at a gait that covered them with
foam. Tne hours sped by with equal rapidity
te the prisoner and te the man who was
hastening te s.ive his life. The sherlll had
just turned te step down oil the scilleld pre
paratory te cutting the roje which held the
trap when Colonel Cllltea pushed bin way
into the crowd and shouted : "Mr. Sherltl, 1
havu hore a message from Governer Gorden
dlrncted te you."
"Cema this wav and let me see It," an
swered the sherltl
Fer a moment net n whisper was Ottered.
Kvoryene held his breath. The crowd di
vided and made way for the lawyer te pass
te the toot of thn gallows. The sherlir
glanced hastily at tbe telegram and dropped
the hatchet which he held in his band.
Ge up en the scatleld, ClHten, and read It

was net a man lu the crowd who did net roc rec roc

briskly up en the platform, and, without
walttug for l.fggett te be unbeuud, read the
dispatch from Governer Gorden granting
a respite for thirty days. He read another
telegram, addressed te himself, te the elltct
that a reprievu had been granted. He then
read a third dispatch, inquiring It the ilrat
and second had beeu received.
Tbe telegrams had a magical ellect upon
the crowd. .Leggett steed at first as though
paralyzed, being unable te believe what his
ears heard. Then, when It dawned upon
him that be was net te din be made franlie
etlerts te be released. The cap anil noose
were quickly removed, and be fell down en
his knees and poured out tbanka te Ged and

was led away, declaring that he loved his

In denying a pardon te a man nsmed
Stan ley ,oenvlcted of fraudulent registration
and sentenced te ninety days' Imprisonment
at St Leuis, President Cleveland has struck
a blew In vindication of the purity of the
ballet-box that will strengthen the bands et
Justice whenever such cases come before the
courts. "I cannot pardon," he says," a
crlmeagalnst the election laws, except It be
In a case presenting; unusually strong con
siderations for clemency. 1 consider such
offenses the worst et all crimes, and I knew
of none the punishment of which Is mere
Important te the public." Iu this short but
vigorous paragraph the president In
cludes aud denounces, in language
se clear and bold that Its purport
cannot be mistaken, all eUensea that
have a tendency te pervert the will of the
people as ex pressed at the polls, and thus J us
tides bis right te be at the head efsllslrs,
whlls Jelng honor te the party that put him
there It will be admitted by all rtflectlng
men that what the president rightly and
broadly styles "crimes against the olectlou
laws" have been charged and sometimes
brought home te both political parties, and
that they have been perjxitrated net only by
Individual motnbers of thorn, but also,
directly and Indirectly and en a larger
scale, by corporations having schemes
of a questionable character te tllect.
It Is as much a ctlme for corporate
bodies te send their operatives te tbe polls
with the tacit, If net open, declaration that
iney ilium veie ineir employer's ticket 11
they wish te leel secure In their places as it
is for the lower order of politicians te stuff
ballet-boxes and falsify the returns. The
most gigantic crime in the political history
of the United States was the stealing et thu
presidency In 18711 from Mr. Tilden, and trans
ferrlng it te Mr. Hayes. It was a plot devised
by Republican leaders and carried out by a
manipulation of the vetes of two Southern
states through collusion with their returning
Isiards. The result of It was te keep the
Democrats Irem their rightful possession of
the government ler eight years longer.
There ate very low hentnt Republicans who
can leek back new 011 that shameful act with
complacency, and history has jet te deal
with it aa It deserves. Hut the condemnation
by tbe president nt even these miner crimes
against tbe election laws is as forcible and
strong as It Is Just and timely. They are do de
moralizing ; tuelr tendency Is te keep power
lu uh worthy hands aud te bring a scandal en
our free Institutions. They elluud the public
conscience.

In Columbia thore was less open purchas

customary amount or money was illegally
expended in places where It would de the
most Reed. The darkey rete lustead of be

was last year, was contracted for In a lump
and the money paid lu a single pile ostensi

It is stating it very mildly te e.iy that
public feeling was nevorse pronounced en

rences of last Saturday. There is nothing
but condemnation for these engaged lu thorn
and tlie determination ence for nil te make
an example of the guilty ones seems univer

se unfavorably, the masses el the voters have
no participation In this political debatichment
and demand that it shull be rebuked and
punished.

Nkw Yerk, May 27. Tbe largest (1 ret lint
lias taken plsce In this city for many years
brokenut at 1:10 n, m. te-day In tbe car sta
bles or the Helt line hnrae railroad, en the
west side of Tenth avenue, between fa J and
frith street. The car stables, with all their
contents, were completely destreyed. Over
1,000 horses perished In tbe (lames. One
hundred and thirty cars and a large quantity
of haniOBS, leed and ethor material were
burned. Only 10 horses worn saved out
of nearly l,r,00 In tbe stables. The stables
occupied the whnte front of the west
slde et Tenth avenue and extonded down
Flfty-tblrd and Flfty-feurth Btreets half
way te Eleventh avenue. The building was
tbrco-sterlea high. The II re was discovered
in the cellar In the extreme western end el
tbe stables and spread an rapidly that It was
Impossible te enter the building te nave the
horses. When the Hremen arrived tbe whele
building waa In flames, aud tlie beat was se
intense thai the tlromeu could net approach
clese enough te be of any service te save the
premises from destruction.
The heat set lire te a row of fratne tenements
and stables en the south slde of Fifty-third
strcet and In a low minutes the whole row
whs blazing. Then the Hunts leaped across
Fifty-fourth street and set Ure te the six story
silk factory ei Jacob New, a new building
winch extends through te reth street,
A row of Hats and tenant houses, ent of
the silk fa ,ery, next took Hre, and the
flames spread se rapidly the tenants barely
escaped with their lives. In some cases the
firemen weru compelled te tear down back
fODccs te enable tenants te eacapp, at it was
impossible for them te leave by tbe rrent
doers owing te the Intensn heat. The five
story brick tenement en the northwest cor
ner et 51th street and Tenth avenue was
next destreyed. A row of frame buildings,
eight in all, and from two te tbree stories
high, en the east slda of Tenth avenue, wero
the next te be licked up by the dames.
The Urst alarm was sent out by a watchman
in the car stables aud this was seen followed
by tbe "tbree sixes" signal, which brought
engines from every part of the city. Cbiet
Shay was In command, asslsted by chiefs of
battalions Hresnan, I.ally, Gicquel, McGill,
Heevesand Fisher. The men under their
com maud did their utmost te stay the flames
which weru assuming alarming proportions
and Bt ene time looked as If they would bar bar
He tlie tllortsef tlie whele fire department.
Fortunately the western wall of the ntable
was unusually thick, built especially for the
purpese of resisting Hre. This staid the
llatues from extending bayeml the stable te
IV.uveuth avenue, it was impossible te pass
through cither 5'Ubr Mth street lu a line
with tbe lire and the Uremen made their
stand In the rear of the buildings en Hre te
prevent the Hamea extendlng te fieth and hlX
streets.
The buildings destroyed besides tbe car
stables and silk factory are a row of apart
meut houses en Gtth street, aud the frame
buildings en Old stroet and en Tenth avenue.
The entire equipment of the Helt Line rail
road Is destroyed, and the less te the company
will reach nearly 300,000. The ether losses
cannot be computed, but the value of tbe
ether properly destroyed will amount te as
much mero.
MKsfl ie SOME Ol' TIIK HOUSES.
When the Hre breke out the ontire stcck of
horses owned by the railroad company,
both sick and well, were in their stalls en
thu second and third floors of tbe building.
The empleyes of the company who were
about the building made deperate efforts te
reloase them se that they might be driven
into tbe street, but the rapid spread of
the llames proven ted this. The watchmen
ran up the runway and in the few minutes
time tiiey hat released and drove Inte the
street about fifty of tlie lrigbtened animals
and tbeu they were cempelled te abandon
the horses te their fate and fly for their
lives. Thore were 130 cars en tha lower
fleer, the ontire equlpnu-nt of tbe read.
These, wltii all the harness and nn hu hu hu
monse amount of hay and feed, were
destroyed. The II re en the north slde of
Fltty.thlrd strut stepped at the western wall
of the stable. All buildings en the south
side et the street opposite the stables were
destroyed. These consisted of small wooden
buildings occupied by peer families who
were wllh great dllliculty diiven Inte the
street In time te tave their lives. The streets
In ihonelgtibjrlieo I weru blocked with house
hold goods which the tenants et the burned
dwellings had succeeded iu carrying Inte the

steed around guarding Huse household
goods aud bemoaning tbelr losses. On the
north slde et Mth fctroet a'l of tbe
buildings, which are tenemtnt houses
from threo te five stories high, were
destroyed. All thn inhabitants of
these escaped. O.i the south slde et
51th street the lire did net extend beyond
the western walls et the ntablts, but the ten
ants in tlie buildings for some distauce fur
ther up moved out. Family ufier family
were driven Irem their home as the Urn ex

wero lest, although some reports circulated
shortly after the Hre broke out were te the
Uttct that soveral persons bad pjrlsued.
Tbe tire was extinguished at S:",0 a. 111.
Only oue liiu was lest, that of F.llzabeth
