Lewiston, Me., Hay 8.—Senator Frye asked whether the report that he would vote for the confirmation of Eben P. Pillsbury for Internal revenue collector for the Fourth Massachusetts district was true, And said: "I told Charles Kimball, of Chicago, thct if Massachusetts wishes to wear the old clothes which Maine has cast off, I do not object. Personally I see no reason wjiy I she uld not vote for the confirmation of Pillsbury as quickly as for any appointment that Cleveland has made. They say Pillsbury was a Copperhoad. Every man that Cleveland has appointed to a prominent place is either a Copperhead or a rebel. They say he stole a state. Wall, Secretary Lamar stole a state, and he murdered 10,0fl0 men to do it. A senator has no right to say that he will or will not vote to confirm a nomination. I will say that I shnll be governed by the action of the Massachusetts senators and by the wishes of my constituents. As a matter of senatorial courtesy, tho confirmation or rejection of Pillsbury would be left to the .control of Senators Dawes and Hoar, for the appointment is for their state. Again, in regard to an appointment I would desire to respect the wishes of my constituents. Of course, were there any principle involved my own conscience would have to decide, but no principle is involved hete." 40W THE REPUBLICANS OUTWIT- TED THE DEMOCRATS. Lyons, N. Y., May 8.—For three weeks people in this region have been in a state of great excitement because of numerous burgla-'os c m nitted in Wayne and Ontario kdi'I s, iome of them being unusually bold and successful. Three residences in which were sleeping families were robbed in Fairport, and silver plate and jewelry carried away. I ater, several of the largest residences in Newark were robbed, and hundreds of dollars' worth of jewelry arid family plate stolen. A few days after residences in Lyons wero entered and robbod, and still later residences in Geneva were entered and cleared of silverware, jewelry and money. In none of these robberies was there any clue leading to the detection of the guilty persona and the detectives were baffled. Yesterday a strango negro appeared in Newark and tried to quietly sell a gold watch and silver spoons. Suspicions were uroused and an officer attempted to arrest him, when the drew a revolver and fired twico at the officer and then dashed off toward the woods near the village. The officer firei several shots at the negro and scores of people, attracted by the shooting, joinod in tho pursuit of the fleeing man. Tho excitement became intense as the number of pursuers bocame larger, and more shots wore passed between the pursuers and the negro. S. H. Vanduser fell with a serious woimd in the side, while A P. Andrews woj wounded in the 1 ig. The negro rail into a neighboring cemoti y. He had then shot away all his cartridges, and was surrounded and arrested. The officers with difficulty restrained tho crowd from • killing the negro, who was struck down and severely injured. He wa3 brought to the jail in this village. Eight valuable watches wero found in his possession, besides a quantity of jewelry. Ho has virtually confessed complicity in the burglaries. SHOAL OF QUESTIONS.

Brooklyn, May 8.—The drizzling rain which fell at fitful intervals yesterday morning and steadily all the afternoon made the scene in and around the ruin: of the old glass factory a dreary one. Early in the morning the workmen resumed their search for bodies under the direction of Mr William Qoff, and the morbidly curious crowd which blockaded State street all day looked on with unabated interest. Some of them had provided themselves with umbrellas and rubber coats, others groupod themselves under the sheds of tradesmen's stores, and those who had no protection from the weather grumbled a little, but most of them kept their places. New York, May 8.—A special to The World from Chicago says: The election of a Republican representative in the Thirtyfourth senatorial district was a huge surprise. The district is ordinarily 2,000 Democratic. Since the death of Shaw the Democrats have never fbr a jaoment doubted that i Democratic successor would be elected. So confident was Congressman Morrison, in fact, that he wont off to Washington to labor with the administration in behalf of certain Illinois aspirants for federal positions, tho successful results of his intercessions being designed to furthei iiis senatorial chdnces. Whilo he was absent . ex-Senator Logan, Marshal] .iones, "Dan" Shepard and "Jake" Wheeler, the big political four of the state, mapped out a secret house-to-house campaign in the Ustrict, and nearly every prominent Republican was either visited or appealed to. As a consequence, when the polls wero opened the Republicans were out in full force, and before the full strength of the organization was comprehended by their opponents, Weaver, the Republican candidate, was elected. The advices from Col. Morrison indicate that he is very much chagrined, although he has not abandoned the hope of being elected to the senate. London, May 8.—The government was ■gain assailed in tho house of commons by a shoal oi questions regarding the negotiations for the settlement; of the Afghan difficulty. Most, of these questions come from the Tofy benches, but not a few of them were put bv disaffected Whigs who had evidently heard ominous grumblings from thoir c Harbisbukq, May L—In tk« Senate to-day, ,IT;MI other things proposed, Use proposed amendment to the coastitutioa, providing for * division ef the bnsiaess of tho Supreme Court, was- defeated oa tnal passage—yeas 13, nays 19. TM HOUSB. nbout tho proposed increase in various lo. ms of taxation. Mr. Gladstone skillfully evaded the questions, but was compelled to promise that tho pu|Der8 which bad passed betwocn the government and Russia would be laid ujion tho table of tho house at an early date. The Go vera or this morning transmitted to ihe Heuse a veto meaaage on the Mil to aravsst the acquis!tiaa of the right of way by user screes lands belonging to uaiversltiea and •lieges. He doea not thiak the abject sought to be obtained of such importance as to call for the stay of the operation of the gaaeral law af property. He is i a formed that the bill ik in leaded for he relief of one or tire institutioas, aad 'hinks that thii is a avail peg oa whlqh ta haig sa ioopo: iant a statute. "Hard caaae make bad laws." These troablei, which at first apjiearec temporary, became more harassing as timD went by and she still insisted upon her orig inal stipulation and did up to the hour i her death, which was as sudden aud unej poctod to hor friends as it was to herself The issue of this marriago with Mr. Fish we a daughter, born Feb. 24, at Carlstadt, N. J., aud which is now with friends of Mr. Fisl under his care and direction. The motbri had almost recovered from the offects o childbirth when she was attacked with a old stomach trouble that was chronic in her case, and yielding to a appetite foi certain articles of diet that had been eD pressly forbidden, sho ate inordinately an died within a few hours on the night o; March 10. Mr. Gladstone said that Although, on receipt of tho first telegrams giving an account of it, lie had described the Pcnjdoh affa r as an act of unprovoked aggression, still ho had never presumed that the facts in his possession, when ho made that statement, were unquestionable. As a matter of fact, within 24 hours afterward, news containing important qualifications of that first recoivod had come to band. He had no doubt, he said, that when tlie Earl of Dufferin, -at Lahore, after his return from the conference with tho Ameer at Rawalpindi, described the Russian attack as an act of unprovoked aggrpssiAn, without any qualifications, the viceroy's statements was warranted by tho circumstances under which he spoke and the knowledge in his possession. But Russia had since denied that Col. Alikhanoff had ordered the Turkomans under his command to make nnj attack. The report that Col. Alikhanoff had issued such an order was made to England by Capt. Yate and his party, who belonged to Sir Peter Lupisden's boundary commission, and who were in Penjdeh during the battle. But it had been ascertained since that neither Capt. Yate nor any of his party were aware of any other foundation for the report than that of rumor. The laborers at work in tho main wing ol the building, where most of the bodies heretofore have been found, prosecuted their labors without result as far as the finding of anf more bodies is concerned. They had suooeeded by nighttime in clearing up that part of the ruin so as to show that probably no more bodies are buried there. Two or three men digging in the heap of debris immediately in the rear of No. 21 Atlantic avenue, just under where an extension to the building stood, found at about 10 o'clock a charred leg. Immediately after this discovery some other portions— part of a skull and two feet—of bodies were found a little further off from the wall. Some medical gentlemen standing by examined these remains and concluded that they were all that was left of two separate bodies. The feet found wero so badly charred and broken that it was impossible to determine whether they wero right and left and belonging to one body or whether each foot represented a body. , A little after 11 o'clock the charred portion of the trunk of a body was found jammed up in the corner of the wall at the junction of the rear.of No. 51 Atlantic avenue and tie extension itf the rear of No. 40. The doctors examined it and found it was the upper portion of the body, presumably the left breast and shoulder, pf a man. This was the spot in which the body of young Butler was found, and it was thought that no other remains could be in that part of the ruins. From the finding of these it is now sup posed that some other tenant'or tenants of No. 51 jumped out of the window as Butler did when the factory wall collapsed and met the same fate. In tho afternoon Drs. Ruppel and Davis, of the Long Island College hospital, discovered some human bones near the place where the ti unk was taken out, which they pronounced to be vertebrae, a part of a rib and fibula. These bonos probably belonged to the trunk found. Not a stitch of clothing, or anything by means of which identification could be made, was found either on *Dr near the remains taken out. All the remains, as soon as discovered, were immediately removed to the morgue. No other bodies were discovered during the day. The House refused—yeas «T, aays IS—to pass the bill aver the veto. "How about the appointment of Capt. Chase to tho Maine internal revenue collectorship!" asked the reporter. The Broeba bill to reetmin tod regulate the salt of intoxisaiing liquors came up ia order. In order to call up the General Revenue bill, Mr. Spoaaler move* ta postpone the pending measure fer the preseat; and a motion to postpone indefinitely was interjected by Mr. Farber, of Lackawanna. "That caso is different. That appointment is in my own state, where I am interested. Objections which do not hold good against Pillsbury, in my mind, do liold good against Chase." Although the Republicans will now have a majority of one on the joint legislative ballot, Logan's chances are not materially bettered, defpito his brilliant coup d'otat. The Logan meu are pleading that now is the opportunity to make him the leader of the Republican party by sending him back to the senate, but this is precisely what the Farwell-Babcock-Taylor combination purposes shall not bo done. Ex-Congressman Far well and his friends entertain for Logan a hatred so unrelenting that party success is a mere "bagatelle to them where Logan's political fortunes are concoraed. Far well has, in the legislature, three political marionettes—two Republicans and one Democrat. These are respectively Representatives Sitting and McMillan, of Chicago, and Speaker Haines. It is reasonably certain that the former will never vote together for Logan, thus leavjng the ballot virtually as it was before Weaver's election —a tie. Logan's friends will use every endeavor to reconcile these refractory gentlemen, both of whom are holding out against him on account of personal mistreatment, but the labor will seemingly be useless. Farwell has the first mortgage on them utid will xiover consent to them going over to Logau, particularly at a time when to elect him senator is to largely advance his presidential prospects of 1888. Her marriage to Mr. Fish has been knowr to her family sinco last summer, but for thC reason stated already, which were satisfac tory alike to her and to thorn, it was nevci made public, and has not been sinoe hei death because of the attendant circumstance, and of her express request to that effect. Ii justice to Mr. Fish I would add that he ha been anxious from the first to make knowi the marriage, and, absolved by the family from secrecy, will do so to-day. The latt'er m. lion was lost—yeas 64, nays 111; and the fanner was withdrawn. In regard to Cleveland's administration, the senator said: "Cleveland is getting too much credit altogether. He is not paying the least attention to civil service reform ideas. He makes a pretence of retaining postmasters who have unexpired terms, bnt there are only about 3,000 of them. Thoy are turning the other officers out fast as they can. Thoy can't cut off all these heads at once. IUhey should work 12 hours a day it would take them a year to do it. The most of Cleveland's appointments have been about as bad ai they could be. I see nothing in his administration to commend." Mr. Brown offered aa amendment providing that retail liquor dealers shall pay a Ins ef $25# in addition to the State taxes now required by law. RIEL'S SCOUTS RUN A disposition to debate the amendment wpe nipped in the bud by a demand for the previous question, and for half an hour the mease remained in a state of excitement and confusion, while the opponents ef the bill tried the patience snd temper of its adje- ates. Finally the amendment was defeated—yeas (5, nays 120. The House refused—yaas 44, nays 111 —to agree to the eight section, which leaves the amount of liceni iteke charged discretiosory with the Court ef Quarter Sessions, provided it shall net be less than $*00 nor more than $1,00*. A Reconnoltcrlng Party Causes Them to Fisrc Creek, N. W. T., May 8.—A reconnoitering party of 70 men from Boulton's cavalry nn l scouts went forward to Dumont's Crossing. Thoy returned and reported that they had proceeded to a point a mile beyond Dumont's and to within three miles of Batoucho. A mile this side of Dumont's they started half a dozen rebels, evidently outposts, who were in a house, and whe galloped away when they saw the troops in the distance. No shots were fired. Houses of half bro-Cls were found deserted and with tho valuables removed. Gen. Middletor does not know yet which way or when hC may move. Tho weather is hot. Dumont't scouts have b?en found encamped. Th« general commanded thereconnoitering part] in person. The steamer from Swift Current arrived and brought 120 members of thC Midland battalion, a Gatling gun and larg' quantities of ammunition and provisions. Il is expected a move will be made to-morrow. ltent n llnsty Retreat, Niw York, May 8.—At Ludlow street jail Mr. Fish had given the warden strict orders that he would see no reporters. Hi consented, however, to the following: "ThC statement regarding Mrs. Laing is mostly incorrect as to facts and dates. Mr. Layman, of Tho Sandusky Evening Journal, is we] informed as to all the facts in the case." Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said that Lord Dufferin had arranged with the Ameer of Afghanistan ibe basis upon which the British government had so far proceeded in the frontier affair, and if further communications with the Ameer upon the subject shbuld become necessary they would be made. Endorsing Collector Pillsbury. Saleh, Mass., May 8.—The National Democratic club adopted a series of resolutions indorsing the course of President Cleveland in the appointment of Collector Pillsbury. A copy of tho same was ordered sent to the president. Beyond this Mr. Fish refused to talk. Mi Layman is married to asisterof the decease( woman. Mr. Bobineon, of Delaware, offered an amendment making the maximum license $500 and the minimum $100, te be fixed by the Court of Quarter Sessions. Being asked if Lord Dufferin, as viccroy of India, approved of tho government's course toward Russia in the Afghan dispute, Mr. Gladstone refused to say whether he did or not.

An experienced cracksman visited the bouse, cut all the telephone, telegraph and burglar alarm wires, and then cut his way through the rear door. All the family plate, etc., was in the vault and could not be reached. Aft#r searching the lower part of the house the masked robber visited the servants' quarters above and awakened two girls who were in the room. He held a revolver at their heads and mado them go down stairs and call Mrs. Ray, telling her they were sick. Tbe special cabinet counsel lasted two hours, and most of the time was occupied in arrangiug the British "cose" regarding the Afghan question .for presentation to the arbitrator. The cabinet also decided to modify the crimes in Ireland act by relaxing the stringency of some of its provisions, and to begin the partial evacuation of the Soudan. This movement is to bs made deliberately, aMd for the present an effective garrison is to be maintained at Suakim and a strong guard retained at Wady Haifa.

Haines would bolt the Democracy to vote for him, but as an offset to this Logan has six or seven members from the southern part of the state who would do his most extravagant bidding, and be would never permit them to vote for Farweil, though h» supplanted Logan as caucus nominee. All things considered, there is little hope ®T a senator being elected immediately. Winnipeg, May 8.—A wild rumor thai Gen. Middleton has had a severe battle with the rebels at Batouche induced great excitement. The rumor was entirely baseless EdmoDton advices say: "The region north and east of here is full of hostile Indiana In fact, all Indians west of Battleford are ir war paint. The settlers have all fled. John Walkingshaw and Albert Harkness, from Ontario, were both killed by Big Bear'! band over a week ago.

Lord Granville also denied that the government's military policy had been a constant failure, or that Russia would proceed to Herat. The motion for production of the papers was finally withdrawn. When lira. Ray opened the door, the burglar told her if she uttered a word he would blow her brains out. She was bidden call her husband and did so. The burglar made the women stand in line under the penalty of death it they moved. When Mr. Ray came down he was ordered to get all his cash and jewelry, which he did, the burglar covering him with a revolver. Jewelry and monoy amounting to nearly *1,000 was handed the robber, which he pocketed, and then made Mr. Ray escort him to the front door and let him out. Then an alarm was raised, but the thief had taken the 8 o'clock train for Chicago and escaped. Officers have gone to Chicago in search of the robber. No description of him can be given, except that he was of medium size and strongly built, and that ■ a large black mask covered his face. He told each one that if they made the least noise they would be shot down by him like a dog. Baltimore 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1— i Louisville. 1 100-0000 1—i. At New York: No game on account of rain.

Financial and Comsrdal. NEW YOEK STOCK The work of the men yesterday was peculiarly hard, from the fact that it consisted very largely of lifting heavy timbers and parte of machinery and dragging them under the archway into the space formerly occupied by the extension of the old brewery Luilding, so as to get them out of the way. The whole space in the main wing of the building is so littered with timbers, iron pipes and wires that the work is very difficult. It will be several days before the men can rest satisfied that all the remains in the place have been taken out, and several weeks will elapse before tfce place is cleared. GRANT'S QUIET DAY.

London, May 8.—The Morning Post states that Lord Dufferin, viceroy of India, has resigned, owing to bis dissatisfaction with Mr. Gladstone's treetmunt of the Anglo-Russian question. In the forthcoming issae of The Medical Record Dr. Shrady, one of the consulting physicians, makes the following statement ol Gen. Grant's condition: t Those manufacture who left valuables in their safes on the morning of the fire vigorously prosecuted yesterday the work of either getting the big iron cases entirely out of the ruins or of getting at their contents. Mr. George Whittnker, who had a machine shop on the first floor of the upper Atlantic avenue wing, succeeded in opening his safe, and be found that his insurance papers, which had been left there, wore intact. He is insured for $4,800 in the German American, Mechanics', Montauk, British American, and Manufacturers' (Boston) companies, and he says his loss will reach fully $14,000. Four other safes, belonging to Judd & Co., J. W. Gorow and Mr. Schwitter, were also gotten out, and they will probably be opened to-day. A pparently none of them had been much injrred and their contents, which are valuable, are probal'ly intact. While Mr. Ray was going through his pockets to get his watch, jewelry and money a little daughter, who was sleeping in the same room, quietly left her bed, gathered her own jewelry from an escroitoire and returning to her bed safely placod it under her pillow. This was the only jewelry in the house not locked up that escaped. It is said that the loss is much heavier than reported. Mr. Ray is well known ia Chicago, where he has a branch commission house. His residence is "burglar proof," and the finest in Milwaukee. Kngllrili Horrors In the, Soudan. Cold Weather In tlie Went. "The breathing is free and the voice is clear, but the movements of the tongue are somewhat restricted, affecting articulation accordingly. The enlarged glands under and around the right angle of the lower jaw are somewhat harder, and, in consequence oi surrounding inflammatory infiltration, art quite firmly fixed. There is, however, less pain in the diseased parts than formerly, and the secretion of mucus is less abundant. The patient obtains a full night's sleep with a minimum amount oi morphine, and awakes in the morning feeling much refreshed. Despite the favorable general condition there have been, unfortunately, no changes in the local disease tc warrant any modification of the original diagnosis by the members of the medical staff." London, May 8.—The Conservative prees are demand tug that the government answ er the allegations by Mr. Wilfrod Blunt that English troops in the Soudan cut down palm tree9, filled up well;, offered rewards for wavered bands of natives, and for the bod y of Ollivier Pain, and forced laborers under the lash to destroy wells, against the rules of Arab warfare. Mr. Blunt's persistent charges of inhumanities like these are attracting more attention since the newspaper correspondents with the Soudan expedition bavo returned to points where they can no longer be silenced by Gen. Wolse'ey's censorship of dispatches. Some officers have personally requested the correspondents to reveal the suffering to which the expedition was Und is exposed. They describe tbe Soudan a:; thrown into a permanent state of feud and famine by English mismanagement, and tell terrible stories of atrocity upon battle fields.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PR0YI8I0N& As received over private wire by Judd, Nye ft Co., Brokers, 1st National Bank Building, nmsron, Brown's Building, Plttstoa, and 7 Borah '"ranklln Street, Wllkee-Barre, Pa. Ashland, N. H, May 8.—This town is tremendously excited over a grave robbery which has just come to light. On Sept. 2, 1884, Mrs. Albert Willoughby, 75 years old, who had been an invalid for years, died, and three days later her remains were interred in the town cemetery about a quarter of a mile from the village. Her husband immediately went to Lowell, where he spent the winter, returning to Ashland about three weeks ago. One of the first places he visited was his wife's grave.
