Xkw Yohk, October 11.—In r*‘pard to
the thinl state ticket put up l>.v the
Shepard ileinoerncy, .lohn 15oy<l Thateh-
er at the «lemoeratic state hea«l«iuarters
yesterday made this otticial statement :
We have to «leal with all sortsof men,
with all sorts of societies and with all
sorts of theories in a political cam
paign. It is a healthy and not un
healthy sijrn io see activity and earn
estness everywhere in the party. Dif
ferences of opinion are natural both
with regard to candidates and issues.
I think, •however, as the days jfo on,
that these gentlemen who oppose Mr.
Hill because he is Mr. Mill will support
him because he is the leader of the tick
et chosen by the representatives of the
part.
This is a life and death struyole for
the democratic party. If we lose this
election, we cannot hope to succeed in
carrying the legislature for twenty
years to come.
“If there is no hope of carrying the
legislature, the party organization will
jfo to pices. Mr. Hill is at best only a
passing figure in p<dities. likt* every
other pit hi ie man. The party jjoes on
forever, t'andolates come and (fo; th*•
party is ffrenter than the man. be
sides. opposition to Mr. Mil! now is like
dissatisfaction on the part of a few
soldiers on the tield of battle to their
general. They may not have wanted
him as leader, but the fact remains that
he Is the regularly appointed leader
and tin 1 army he Is leading Is facing the
enemy in a deadly struggle.
“I have a high regard for Mr. Whee
ler and his friends, but I have a higher
regard for loyal democrats who would
rather injure the .'omiuon enemy than
help destroy their own party.
"The next two weeks will soften Un
feeling of opposition and bring better
feeling."

shore from Sandy I look southward
were washed out in several places, and
Covered with sand in others. Tele
graph. telephone and electric light
wires were generally washed away.
The West End hotel at Long Itraneh
was partly unroofed and otherwise
handly damaged. About tin-same con

SuAVioKix, Pa.. Oetober in.—While
earpeuters were at work repairing the
tiiuher in the Luke Fidler shaft last
nig'ht. a miner's lamp on the head of
Irvin Gnilington ig'nited the wood and
a tierce fire ensued. The carpenters
grave an alarm and seventy miners com
menced a race for li*’e as the mine was
lilltug*- with smoke. Through a shaft
not in course of construction they were
hoisted to t he surface in an iron bucket,
ii great crowd cheering' ns the men
reached the month of the pit. During
the resell,• the llames eatile up the air
course and hurtled the fitn house and
the fire department wa called into ser
vice. Miperiiiteiident Morris Williams
and Mine Inspector Edward Hrettnan
heroically entered the burning mine to
seek for lost or exhausted men. At 5
o'clock Irvin Gullingion was found
dead. It is known for a certainty that
George Grown, a well known local pol
itician; John Gierz , , laborer : Antho
ny Koberts. it driver boy. and Michael
Guz.ofskie. a laborer are still in the
mine Heroic cH’orts arc being made to
reach them, without, however, much
hop,-of site,-ess. It is the fiercest mine
lire known fit the region. Th* lliery
is operated b\ the Mineral Mining and
rail road company and gave employ
ment t>. over s.iu me.-t and boys.
Gullington's di-.itli was e;iused bv his
etb-rts to notify worlcmen in the
mine of t heir dang'er. Ii very bod y was
warned, an-l ab si;irn"l I--r k;ifet y. but

Boston, October in. -The remains of
Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes were laid to
rest in the Jackson lot at Mount Au
burn this afternoon. The funeral ser
vices were held at King's Chapel and
conducted in a beautiful and touching
manner by Dr. Edward Everett Hale,
a life long friend of !>r. Holmes. The
pall bearers wen: members of the
family.
Hrief Sketch of His I.lfe.
The death of Dr. Holmes has closed
many careers in one end. His versa
tility was such that one hesitates
whether to speak first of the man of
society, or the literary wit. or the prac
titioner, or the novelist, or the poet.
This diversity sprang- rather from the
different employments to w hich he put
his mind than from the various rich
ness of natural genius. It was in some
degree the product of the influences of
the city, which operate upon men of
education to bring out their wholeoa-
paeity. He xvas from his breeding both
academic and urban; and he carried
out to tin-end the early aims ami am
bitions which thrive in the centres of
learning and society. He was one of
that rare class of mind.* to which their
environments is not a limitation. He
harmonized with the conditions of liv
ing into which he was born. The
identity between himself, as a literary
personality, and Huston was the largest
part of his good fortune. He was that
best sort of a representative of his city,
a growth out of its previous society,
traditions, and prejudices. It would he
unjust to refer to him now solely or
mainly as a poet. He succeeded quite
ns xv,-11 in the use of his other talents,
and these helped largely in establish
ing the reputation of his later days.
'] he scientific element, even in his books,
is a constant quantity: it colors his
novels and often gives glow to his
stanzas, and iu his printed conversa
tions over tiie table it is ever at hand
for illustration. His wit. too. and those
felicities of which lie learned the secret
in private talk w ith his friends, an* in
gredients never lucking, lie must be
regarded its poet, professor, and auto
crat at once, if one would have a
rounded conception of him. and under
stand what sort of personal power in
him it was that extended a local repu
tation over :i cont in*-iit.
I*r,-sl,n-ut Glint t'* Trill,It**.
1‘resident Eliot, **i Harvard college,
speaking of tIt,- late l>r. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, said :
“His connection with Harvard was
through thi* medical .sehool. IG- never
taught literature or gave any lessons
on literature. He taught at the Har
vard medical sehool for thirtv-live
years, where he was proti-ssor of anat
omy and physiology, teaching also his
tology iind microscopy.
"Dr Holmes was* a hard and faithful
worker, and one of the brightest men
that ever lectured at the medieal school.
He did ,-i great den! to make th*- school
what it is. He lectured regularly live
times a week throughout the school
year, and never failed to b,- on hand.
If,- was the most careful of men in pre*
pa ration of his lecture-, and very pains*
taking in his exp- riinenls. II-- was
very exact in dissection."
‘‘Dr. Holmes great,—t contribution,
to the world's medical know l*--ige was
the discovery of the fact that puerperal
fever is contagious. He contended so-
for years, and met with all sortsof
ridicule. It i> now **t ,-ottrse an axiom
of itiedn-ai know ledge. I.one,* heard Dr.
Osier, iff Galtiinorc. siy that this is one-
of the greatest contributions that a
New England physician ever made to-
medical science."
