An Kmploaton ofCaa at tbe Jcracy
CHy Te.mliiun ol tbe Pasnnavlva
ula Railroad Cause a BlR Blase
Losjke Covered dv Inanrance.
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 4. An ex plos
ion ul gas cnuud a disastrous fire at tbe
Jersey City terminus of the Pennsylva
nia railroad this morning. The com
pany recently completed a magnificent
train shed on a urade with the street,
an elevated road being constructed from
the river to Bergtn Hill, and were con
structing new waiting rooms and ferry
houses to correspond. The old wooden
building that General Superintendent
F. Wolcott Jnckson occupied in the ferry
boat was turned into a temporary exit
lor eastbound train passengers and the
officials moved their desks into a five
siory brick building frontiugon Exchange
place.
It was in this exit that tbe explosion
occurred. The teariug down of tbe
structure and the constunt jarring
caused bv the ferry bouts entering the
slips about luO feet away are supposed
to have broken or disconnected a gas
pipe clou to tbe main distributing
meter.
The explosion took place at 3:40
o'clock and the surrounding woodwork
wus instanilv ablaze. Tbe lire depart
ment responded quickly to three alarms
sent out and the entire apparatus of the
city and harbor go' to work. 1 he result
was tbut the river end of ibe terminus,
including the firry siips, was but slightlv
duiuaiii'd. On the interior portion ul tbe
depot building the flames spread rapidly.
"I he tluiius Iroru tbe old office building
iiiouuieu upward until the wooden ruil
ing and sides of the unfinished waiting
room were ublazr. The tore was then
uuried along a huge yellow pine pipe
cubing to i lie new office structure. This
eoiisibied ol a hue yolidly built structure
ol buck 150 bv 48 hvet imd live stories
high. The second floor of the easterly
building was lined us u baggage loom,
the others being merely bare walls. The
nilu baggage master Kigali and his
,i.Mht;u.us succeeded in Buving all the
trunks, hour Boms about llie naggage
room ami two uuiidings on ine uiti
floor were gutted. Licnerul bupenuttnd-
cnl Jackson's oflice, vilb those of the
division superintendent, Chicl Uiiginter
lirooks and numerous otner omciuisoi
the road, were cleaned out.
From the oihce buildings tne me
sprcud to the train sheus iu the rear uiul
utlacked I Me woouen interior ceiling.
About a hundred leet ol the ceding an. I
hundreds of glass roof lights lell in frag
ments upon the concrete plallonn below.
A dozen lin.'S of hose were brought into
play and the truiu shed suved Iroin lui
tlier damaee.
The flames were under control by 5:30
o'clock ami ut 6:30 o clock the brst teny
bout irom Cortlund street suecei tied in
landing at the upper slip. 1 he Ptnlu
delohiu and Washington express leaving
Jersey City at 6:40 o'clock this morning
pulled out ol the depot ten minutes uuc.
Tbe train dispatchers' offices escaped
fire and the railroad wires were again
working by Seven o'clock. Trains are
ruuiiing regularly on time and the lerries
are carrying tbe usual throngs. The
loss on the office building is estimated Hi
$45,000 and on the train shed and ferry
bouse $3,000, more than covered by in
surance. OPINIONS OF MR. UEPEW,
Flower May be the Coming; Man
Mr. Field la Still Very Rich.
Chicago, Dec. 2. Chauncey Depew,
who is with the Vanderbilt party on its
trip to the West, said tonight that
Blaine would su-ely be the republican
presidential nominee if he would consent
tomnkethe race. Otheiwise Harrison
would be the candidate. Mr. Deuew de
clared that Koswell P. Flower's chances
of getting the democratic nomination
were fully ni good as those of Cleveland,
and that Gov. Boies, of Iowa, would cer
tainly be named lor vice president.
In disrussine tbe World's Fair, Mr.
Depew savs congress should not make
the loan (if $5,000,000, but should make
an appropriation ol that amount. He
nlso s dd that the stories about Cyrus
W. Field s financial ruin were all non
sense; tor Mr. Held was still nn im
mensely rich man.
Nkw'Yokk, Dec. 2 From yesterday's
developments in the case of Edward M.
Field of the wrecked firm nt Field, Lind
ley, Wiecliers &Co.,it appears that Field
not only has emptied bis father's strong
box of all its securities and left Cyrus W.
Field penniless, but yesterduy it was
learned that he deliberately robbed his
partner, John F. Weichers. lr. Wiechers
himself is the authority for the story.
He says that Field not only robbed him
of the $250,000 capital he invested with
the firm, but that he nlso took $50,000
in government bonds left in the firm's
safe when Weichers went to Cuba a
number of months since to negotiate the
Durchase ol the suearplantations. These
government bonds, Mr. Weicber adds,
belonged to his wile. New Torx sun.

AMbevllllao.
The Citizen's artist presents a famil
iar face to its readers today. To E.J.
Aston, perhaps, more tliau to any other
EDWARD J. ASTON.
From a Photograph by Lindner A Brown
one mun. can be attributed the discovery
of the peculiar climatic advantages of
Ashevillf and the Western North Carolina
plateau. Re had no sooner taken up his
residence here than he began a system of
correspondence which extended over
every state and territory in the United
States, in which his pen spoke in glow
ing tern, of this national sanatorium ol
the nation; and away back in the fifties,
when Asheville was a village and the
nearest railroad sixty miles distant, these
letters, together with thousands of
printed circulars descriptive of Western
North Carolina, first gave to th outside
world a knowledge of this rare retreat
for the invalid. And through his efforts
hundrrds, and doubtless thousands, of
persons were induced to come and see;
und buck to their homes they carried the
news, unt'l now Aslieville is perhaps tbe
licst known town in America.
It is asserted on good nuthoiity that
the familiar title ol "Judge" was urtixcil
to Mr Aston's name as n recognition of
Ins superior nciUirenients as n "judge of
climate.
Through his extensive correspondence
udge Aston,hns made iierh.'ips nlarger
and more varied acquaintance than any
man in North Carolina, and there are not
a tew who still think him the biggest thing
in Asheville.
Nature endowed him withnn unusually
powerful physique, for the purpose it is
supposed by those who know him best,
ol accommodating the great big heart
that bents within it. He has always
been noted as n "good liver," and thou-s.-inds
can testily to the generosity of his
oncn-hnnderi and free hearted hospitality.
During bis nsidcnce of 35 venrs in
Asheville. Judge Aston hns held manv
places ol trust and honor, and to every
position he hns brought unswerving in
tegrity and u high order of ability. As
a man be has ever been liberal 'in his
cbantv, nr a friend lovnl and true, and

Seven In the Fatal 1.1st, including;
Some of tbe Train Men Tbe Ac
cident Due to an Open Switch, II
la Though..
Worcester, Mass., Dec. 4. Special
dispatches to the Gazette from Webster
say that a most terrible wreck occurred
on the New York and New England rail
road at East Thompson, at 6:30 o'clock
this morning, caused bv a collision of the
south-bound freight with the east-bound
freight going over the west-bound track.
Tbe Long Island express was passing
on the other track nt the' time and all
three trains piled up together.
Engineer Tabor of the Boston train,
and his fireman are reported killed. One
pnssenger on the Pullman is reported
burned to death and many are injured.
The cars almost immediately took fire
and engines and doctors have been sum
moned from all adjacent points.
The nccident is said to have been due
to nn 0en switch.
Woonsocket, R. I., Dec. 4. Later
reports from tbe New England wreck at
East Thompson, Conn., state tbut two
of the injured passengers have died,
making seven deaths so far. The fireman
us well as the engineer of the steumbout
train was killed,
Both trains were running eastward on
parallel trucks and came together nt full

SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST
The Excitement In WaMhlntcton
la at Fever Heat
Washington, Dec. 4. The speakership
contest has reached fever heat. All the
candidates have been forced to give fig
ures as to what they rely upon. These
show conclusively that no nomination
will lie made on first ballot in tomor
row's caucus, unless some of the
candidates withdraw, which is
not now thought probable. The
arrival of Senator Palmer and his
warm work for Springer makes that
gentleman's withdrawal out of the ques
tion. An elTort has been made to pull
Hatch off, bat this morning he announced
that he had no such intention.
