The New York Tribune is chief of the^e gratuitous counselors, aud Its lamentations would be touching if we did not know how small the plan is that temperance holds in its regards.

At the hearing this mornlm he gave his name as John Jennings and ftated that he Jived at No. 1 Liudcn court, t small street running off from Seventh Hreeb between Orange und Tatnail, and expkiued that the bundle that he had under his trm was a new shirt which he had purchased early in the evening. The officer who made the apest, however, testified that the bundle In juesUon con sisted of a carriage curtain aid a chamois skin. The man's statement a; to his home is correct and a visit to the hc^se this morn ing by a Gazette reporter fomd his mother very much distressed over th» unfortunate circumstance.

At the final hearing before Magistrate Lennon in Philadelphia on Thursday, the caae against John Kyle, who was arrested in that city on November 2, on a cliarg« of appropriating to bis own uso. uionev obt ained on a cheek belonging to Jacob Helntz of Middletown, this State, was dismissed, there being no evidence tosubslantiate the charge. It came out in the testimony that Kyle was met at Ninth and Market st reets, this city, by Hugh McCaffrey, and asked to wait until fc friend of his named Helntz came out of a lawyer's office near by. When the latter ap peared he had invited McCatl cv and Kyle to accompany him to Philadelphia. Upon arriving there, the three, went to a gam bling den where McCafirey and Heintz played until they lost Helntz then tried to raise inouey ou cheeks but was unable to get them cashed. Mc Caffrey's attempts to get them cashed met with no better result«. At this stage Hcintz gave Kyle a couple of checks and said II he get them cashed he (Ileiutz) would divide the money among the three aud tney could then have a good time. Kyle went to J. Wesley Canary, with A. C. Yates & Co., a friend of his,and got the cash on a check for 111.26 which he turned over to Helntz. Another check he got cashed by another friend, Thomas McCarran, $20, about two dollars of which was immediately spent there, Helntz saying at the time that the money was to be divided between McCaffrey and Kyle. McCaffrey, having received a few dollars of the money left the other two, who, after waiting for him for eome time, came to the Broad street station to start for home. A the the and the the aud ob to to his he the the 7 to u all their monev. be Helntz then said as the money had not been divided he wanted it, and calling a policeman had Kyle arrested. McCarran Who balled Kyle out, swore positively thu Heintz said thut the money was to be divided. At the hearing a number of witnesses irom this city testified to the tiuth and honesty of Kyle. The whole trouble as far as young Kyle is concerned,appears to have been merely the result of his indiscretion in keeping bad company. It will doubtless be a lesson to him. The Hugh McCaffrey he was with is the man who was prominently connected with the bogus grave yard lnsur* anee movement in this city a few years ago. t A SENATORIAL CONTEST. Question of the .Election of the Repub lican Senator In Kent County Md. [Baltimore Bun Special. ] Chbstbrtown, Md., Nov. 9.—The full vote of Kent last Tuesday for Senator, ac cording to the certificates of the judges of election was: Burchlnul, Republican, 2,045; Usilton, Democrat, 2,034; Burchinal's ma jority. 11. By a clerical error on the part of a clerk of election in the First district the whole Republican ticket was allowed on the tally-list five more votes than were actually cast for it, and so the judges certi fied. The discovery of this mistake reduces Burchinal's majority to six. The Republicans claim that the return judges have no legal right to correct this mistake after the certificates have been signed by the judges of election, and the only redress open to the Democrats Is to contest the election. The Democrats con tend that the return judges are not obliged to certify to the correctness of certificates of . t^em. There are other votes which were thrown out on tlie night of the election, and which the Democrats claim illegally excluded. A sufficient number, it is thought, were thus turned down which, had they been counted, would have elected Usilton by a small majority. The return Monday next, when they will decide upon the form of certificate they will return. The ballots will prob ably be recounted on that day or on Wed nesday, and If, as surmised above, a sufficient number have been wrongly counted, Mr. Burchinal's election will be contested. Mr. Usilton has declared that if, upon a free and honorable count,it he found that he has a majority of the legal ballots cast, he will claim his seat. The return judges from the different districts Masseys, Eugene Gooding: Kcnuenyville, Daniel U. Dewees; Wortou, Robert L. Usil tan; Chestertown, John R.

T FATAL DISASTKIU. of of a J. a a Fearful Storm at lSuflulo — A Terrible Duller Explosion. Buffalo, Nov. 9 —A severe wind storm struck this city at 3 o'clock this afternoon. It came without a moment's warning, and though ol short duration caused g oat havoc. On William street, near r ownsend, Jacob Dold. the pork packer, was erecting a large, lour-story wooden building to be used a6 a cooper shop. Twelve men were employed ou the struc ture when the cyclone swept down uron It. In nr* instant, thu building was whirled from it« foundation. It* timbers snapped like pipe-stem«, aud beioro the workmen could realize what, had happened the Immense structure e »llapsed Nearly all of the men were burled b«*ncath the timoers, and their cries could he heard above the noise of the rushing wind. SEARCHING FOR THE BURIED MEN. The hurricane lasted only 10 minutes. As F oon p.i Its fury abated messageR were tele phonrd to 8tation No 1 for officers and sur néons, and at the same time ordern were turned lu at Station No. 8 to send out the entire force Of police, and impress the doc tors in the vicinity. It was some time be fore an adequate force arrived to begin clearing away the timbers and search lor the burled r.:*. About 4 o'clock the body of William Reimer was unearthed. He lay on his face, which was terribly crushed. A heavy tim ber lay across his back and another forced his head into the ground. Jacob Schendabl, the foreman, was also found horribly crushed. He lived about an hour. John Otto an«'. James Grcedell, laborers, were dead when discovered. They were lying beneath dozens of heavy timbers. Charles Fitner, a carpenter, ha-- his jaw broken,and w as otherwise badly it jured. A Polander bad a leg broken, and Andrew Hess was found in an unconscious state. Several other workmen, whose names could not be learned, were seriously hurt. A CHEAP STRUCTURE. It was 0 o'clock before the last injured inau was tak* n from the ruins. Great ex cilemen prevailed, and the police were kept busy iu holding the crowd back. The build ing was of the cheapest description and oc cupied a very exposed place in an open lot. It is thought that several more of the men will die. t THE MADISON DISASTER. Madison, Wis., Nov. 9.— The causes which led to the accident at the capitol building yesterday afternoon are variously stated. Some ascribe it to defective iron p.liars, aud others to poor masonry. It 16 the optuion of Contractor Bentley that the loss will fall on the commonwealth, as the plans were approved by the State architect, and the blame cannot be laid on the shoulders of tbe builders.

On Monday evening next Oliver Doud Byron will appear in the Opera House in his play of "Across the Continent." In speak iugof the play the Chicago Tribune says: "There is a touching narrative running through the entire drama which interests the audience from the rising of the curtain to its fall. The scenes are the mosteffectiye we have ever witnessed in this city, the situ ations of the piece are—to use a theatrical phrase—immense, and there is a fine oppor tunity for good acting, not only on the part of the hero of the piece, but also of the subordinate characters." In regard to the "Silver King" that is to be presented here on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of next week, the Times of Philadèlphia says: "The moral of 'The Silver King' is commendable, for it teaches the danger and misery of intemper ance. Its theatric quality is good, for it sustains the interest to the end. It is the best melo-drama produced here in years, and if the enthusiasm with which it is nightly received by the large audiences which flock to see it is any citerion it is destined ti have a very long run at the Chestnut Street Theatre."
