SIX DAYS ONLY.

The World's Fair to Be Closed on the Seventh Day.

SDNDAY OPENING ROLE RESCINDED.

The Directors, Convinced from Sad Expe* rlence That the People I)o Not Want tho Gates Opened, Take Decisive Action.

BSD OF THE SUNDAY PAIR. CHICAGO, July 15.—To-morrowwill be the last open Sunday at the fair. Friday afternoon, by a vote of 24 to 4, the local directory of the World's Columbian exposition passed resolutions rescinding the action of the meeting of May 18 and ordering the gates closed on all Sundays after to-morrow. The preamble and resolutions follow: 8unday-Closlng Resolution. "Whereas, The board of directors at a rcguIar meeting heretofore beld—to wit, May 16, 1883—adopted certain resolutions providing for tbe oponinf of the exposition on Sunday, in response to urgent appeal* from persons and organizations representing a large majority of tbe public, as woli as from shareholders of the corporation, and also in accordance with a resolution adoptod by the oliy council of tbe city of Chicago, representing tbe financial Interests of said city in said exposition 10 tlie amount of f/'.OOO.OOO: and, "Whoreua, This aotlon of the board has been sustained by tbe United States circuit court of appeals and the right and power of tbe board of directors'to control the physical administration of the exposition on Sundays, as wel) as on other days of the week, has been upbeld by the final decrce of said court and, "Whereas, It now appears by tho actual admissions that the general,public does not by Its attendance manifest a desire that said exposition should be kept open to tbe public each day of the week and It further appearing that If tho exposition is He pt open on Sunday it will require the attendance ot more than 1(1,000 laboring men and women, the employes ot the exposition and others, Including the curator, and olerks of the exhibitors: and Willie the exposition authorities oan give its own employes one day of rest out of each woek, it seems impracticable for the exhibitors and others to proTide such day of rost for their own clerks and employos and

Whereas, It further appears thai the number of laboring men and wofben whose services will be necessarily required to keep the exposition open on Sunday Is disproportionate to the number ot visitors on said days, and, therefore, the lnterosts of the public are not promoted by keeping the exposition open on coch and every day of the week now, therefore, be it 'Resolved, That all the said resolutions so adopted by this board on May 16. A. D. 1893, and the amendments to the rule related thereto adoptod on said day, save and exoept the prices of admission, be and the same are hereby rescinded, to take eflect after the 16th inst. and be It further •Resolved, That a certified copy ot the foregoing preamble and resolutions be transmitted to the national commission and to the council of administration."

Wanted to Reduce tlio Price. Chairman Peak in a short speech introduced the Sunday-closing resolutions. He said that the resolutions hud been drawn up and approved by attorney Edwin Walker. The introduction of the resolutions brought several directors to their feet and many speeches were made on the various phases of the question. Directors Adolph Nathan and Washington Porter thought that a full and fair test of the question had not been made, and thoy strongly favored reducing the admission for Sunday to twenty-five cents. They were overwhelmed, however, by speeches in favor of shutting the gates tight. There seemed to be an almost unanimous sentiment in support of that proposition.

Tho Vote.

The vote on the resolutions was as follows: •Yeas—Butler, Camp, Olowry, Chappell, Crawford, Dlxop, Ellsworth, Gage, Butoblnson, Henrotin, Keith, Kerfoot, Ketcham, Lefens, Lawson, MoNally, Peok, Keveil, Rothschild, Scott, Walker, Waller, Winston, Young. Total, 84.

Nays—Nathan, Odell, Porter, Schneider. Total, 4. Great Chance of Opinion.

The speeches indicated a great change in the opinion of many of the directors since tho Sunday opening rule was passed. Edward B. Butler, who was formerly an enthusiast for a Sunday fair, took active part Friday in the discussion to close it Sunday. Mr Butler took up the question as ona involving financial failure. He was convinced that the people of the United States did not want a Sunday fair. "Gentlemen," he said, "we have made a mistake. We have gone contrary to the wishes of 75 per cent, of the exhibitors. We have miscalculated the desire of the Chicago workingmen. We Tiave misjudged the sentiment of the Amorlcan people. Let us, then, reverse our decision, close the gates of the world's fair on Sunday and honor the American day of rest."

Arthur Dixon also took part in the discussion in favor of Sunday closing." He formerly was a zealous advocate of opening. He recounted the things which show the failure of a Sunday fair and then made an appeal to abandon their old opinions. He said: "When a body of men discover that they have done wrong, that they have violated the will of the people, It is their duty in so far as they can to plaoe themselves In the right Wo are now convinced that the American people revere their institutions, and that the Sabbath Is one of them. Church.. that have not been Ailed for ten years are now overflowing every Sunday. A feeling that you will bo Inconsistent should not Influence you. We should do our duty."

Director-General Davis said Friday night that he had advised Sunday closing. "It has been shown that the people for whom the move was made have not visited the fair to any large extent," he said, "and by reason of the opening it has been demonstrated that their is a lack of energy among exhibitors and employes which would be removed by closing the fair for one day in the week. I believe, further, that the fair will be benefited financially in the end."

BRAVE MEN BURIED.

Funeral of Eight Victim, of the Fire at Jackson Park—Their Remains Were Charred Beyond Identification, and All

Were Placed In One Grave. CmcAGO, July 15.—The fund for the relief of the families of the dead firemen has reached nearly 150,000. It is thought it will eventually amount to about 1150,000. Among the contributions received on Friday were $2,000 from the West Chicago Street Railway company and 11,000 from the North Chicago Street Railway company. It is also said that Charles T. Yerkes, president of both of these corporations, has purchased a ticket of admission to the grounds on "Heroes Day," Sunday, paying therefore 12,600.

Ofi a draped funeral car, drawn by eight black horses, eight broadcloth caskets trimmed with silver and satin were conveyed at 9 a. m. from Rolston's morgue, 643T Lake avenue, to engine house 45, at Cottage Grove avenue and Forty-sixth street. They contained the remains, charred beyond the recognition even of loving friends, of the unidentified victims of the cold-storage warehouse fire. People thronged the morgue in the morning to catch a glimpse of the black coffins, but no curious eye was allowed to view the solemn scene. At the engine house a vast crowd of relatives, friends and onloolcers was waiting to join the funeral procession.

The. procession was formed by Assistant Fire Marshal Green and Col. Rice, who were the marshals. First came an escort of twenty police, followed by the band from the exposition then 125 firemen selected from the entire department of the city under command of Assistant Marshal Green, and following these a company of fifty Columbian guards and ten sergeants, commanded by Capt Schunk and Lieuts. Ely and Sage. Accompanying the guards was a mounted detachment of the army offioers on duty at the fair. The civic societies were represented by members of Hyde Park lodge Knights of Pythias, Logan and Ellsworth division of the uniform rank of thesame order, and several masonic lodges. The Knights of Pythias attended out of respect to Burton E. Page and James A. Garvey, members of the order.

The funeral car was next in the line and was followed by the carriages containing the friends and relatives of the dead men. The cortege left the enginehouse shortly after 1:30 o'clock and proceeded slowly to the church of the Holy Cross. Here the Catholic funeral services were read over the bodies by Rev, Father Hishen. Those over the band commenced its slow and mournful strains and the cortege continued the sad march to Woodlawn avenue and south to Oakwoods.

The procession wound through the ground's to the left donated by Marcus A. Farwell, president of the Oakwoods Cemetery association. Protestant services wore held here and the eight casl«}£s were lowered to their final resting place. Beautiful and numerous fioral designs were contributed by the civic societies, the firemen, the Columbian guards and a host of sorrowing friends. A monument dedicated to the unknown will be erected at considerable cost upon the place of burlaL

NOTED SIOUX OHIEF DEAD.

Yeunc-Man-Afraid-of-Hin-Horses Goes to the Happy Hunting Ground. PIKE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., July 15.— Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses, the head chief of the whole Sioux nation, dropped dead Thursday at Newcastle, Wyo. lie and Little Wound left this agency a few weeks ago with a party of sixty Indians to visit their Indian friends, the Crows, at Crow agency. The remains will arrive Sunday by rail. Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses was the most reliable Indian of all the Sioux, a great friend of the government, as was proved by his actions in the outbreak at this agency in 1890 anil 1891 and the late murder of February 18 of the four white men on White river. It was through his assistance that the police arrested the murderers. By his death without any lineal descendants the mantle of chiefship falls to Little Wound.

No Oliver Convention at St. Louts. DENVER, Col., July 15.—The chamber of commerce and board of trade have issued an address to the commercial bodies of the west and south in which the call for a convention to consider the silver question at St. Louis Monday, July 17, is withdrawn "for the reason that all sections will be largely represented at the convention which meets in Chicago on August 1, and the proposed St. Louis convention would entail an expenditure of time and money which may be saved without detriment to the cause of bimetalism."

SLAIN IN CAMP.

Work of a Thunderbolt Among Wisconsin Soldiers.

IX SPREADS DEATH AND INJURY.

Lightning Strikes the Tents at Camp Douglas and One Man l» Instantly lilliod -Seven Others are lte~ ported Injured.

NAMES OF THE VICTIMS.

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis., July 15.—A severe wind and thunderstorm struck the Wisconsin national guard camp Friday evening and lightning struck in the camp, killing George Clary, of Darlington, and shocking several others, all of whom are recovering. The following are seriously injured: Hugh Clary, company Harry Clary, company Harry Marshall, company Anton Kemner, company Robert L. Wood, W. J. McMahon, Mrs. Conlev, wife of Capt Conley.

About 7 o'clock a terrific thunder shower came up from the west and Col. Caldwell ordered the evening parade susponded. The men and officers took refuge in their tents. At the telegraph office sat McMahon sending in the report of the day in oamp. With him were his wife and another woman. Suddenly McMahon straightened out in his chair and a woman's screair rang above the din in the office.

Simultaneous with this a blinding flash aud deafening report occurred, a rush was made for the office, kind hands lifted the operator from his chair and placed him on a litter brought from tho hospital. Soon McMahon revived and had nothing more occurred the regiment would have slept with joyous hearts, but as the men turned to leave the office the litter corps was seen running by with a man. Then came another and another, and they kept cdming until eight had been carried in and laid on the cots. One poor fellow was beyond all help. He lay dead on a cot, while on each side were brothers suffering from the terrible shook. Mrs. Mahon, wife of the injured operator, is also a telegrapher, and though her husband lay at her feet, very weak, though out of danger, she took his place at the key and sent in dozens of messages which the men forwarded to their people to quiet their fears. The men that were injured were all in their tents when the shock came. Nothing was disturbed in the tents. A tree in front of the one In which the injured men were seated was slightly abraded, but that was all. Hardly a man in the tent cscapcd the shock. George Clary's shoes was torn to shreds. Besides the electric storm tharo was a severe wind and rainstorm and tents were blown down, camp equipage blown in all directions, and the greatest confusion prevailed in camp for a long time. Col. Caldwell was standing in his' tent with several officers when the shock came, and his orderly was struck and fell in the colonel's arms. Gov. Peck was in the hospital during most of the evening. Be directed that no pains be spared to relieve the sufferings of the injured men, and placed his headquarters at the disposal of Maj. Byers for hospital service. All the injured are beyond danger.

STOLE VALUABLE GEMS.

Sueak Thieves Make a S10.000 Haul In a Niagara Falls Jewelry Store. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., July 13.— Sneak thieves stole a tray containing nearly-110,000 worth of diamonds from the jewelry store of T. V. Dfekinson in the Hotel Imperial blook here Friday night. There had been several people in the place during the evening to see the precious gems, which were nearly all in settings, and they were not missed until about 9 o'clock. Every etfort to trace the thieves has thus far been unsuccessful. One of the Jewels was picked up near the entrance to the Hotel Porter, near the jewelry store, and two more were found on the floor of a dark hallway leading into the same hotel and barroom. Just before the tray was stolen a strange couple camo into the store and asked to sec some diamond rings. General suspicion has fallen on them, but they have disappeared. The bridges are all guarded and a general alarm has been sent out by the poliee.

BOTH ARE DEAD.

Two Men Engage In a Fist Fight on a Railroad Track—They Fall to Notice an Approaching Train, Are Thrown L'nder the Wheels and Killed.

NEW ROCUELLE, N. Y., July 15.—The 8 o'clock express train from Springfield, on the New Haven road, struck and instantly killed two men on the track near Pelhamville. They were apparently fighting, as they were seen to strike each other. The engineer blew the whistle repeatedly, reversed his engine and did all he could to stop the train, but to no effeot As the locomotive struck the two men they were olinching and were engaged in a desperate struggle. Their bodies were thrown ahead of the locomotive on the track and the entire train passed over them. Both men were mangled in a horrible manner. It is thought that they were employed on the Mount Vernon public improvements as laborers.

Lose—Other Failures*

FORCED TO A88IGN*

KANSAS Crrr, Mo., July 15.—The National bank of Kansas City, at the southeast corner of Fifth and Delaware streets, suspended payment at 2:55 o'clock Friday afternoon and is now in the hands of the comptroller of the currency. The assets, President J. S. Chick says, will be between (2,000,000 and 13,000,000 and the liabilities about (Z,000,000. He says he is confident that the depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. The bank was one of the oldest in the city.

President Chick said that the suspension was due to a steady withdrawal of deposits since the beginning of the financial stringency.

Franklin Savings Bank Asslgus. As a result of the failure of the National bank of Kansas City the Franklin savings bank made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The latter bank cleared through the Kansas City national, and considerable of its money is tied up in the latter failure. The bank carried a line of deposits amounting now only to (50,000. Its assets are considerably in excess of that sum.

Dig Failure In Denver.

DENVER, ColM July 15.—Friday afternoon W. H. Bush and N. M. Tabor, lessees of the Brown Palaee hotel, made an assignment to Frank C. Younk. The amount of their liabilities is placed at (650,000, with assets at (2,222,909. The assets of the company consist principally of real estate, hotel furniture and bills due. The failure was caused by the stringency in the money market and inability to secure an extension of their paper. The failure inoludea the furniture of the Hotel Metropole, the Tabor & Pierce Lumber company and (531,090 worth of stock of the Windsor Farm company, held by Mr. Bush. It is believed that the assets will materially decrease before liquidation has been effected.

Failures in the St. Louis Lumber Trade. ST. LOUIS, July 15.—The St. Louis Lumber company assigned Friday afternoon to F. W. BeinidieU. Assets, (40,000 liabilities about the same. The failure was brought about by losses In the Haydock Bros.' failure and that of J. P. Richardson, a small lumber dealer. Another cause Is the disappearance of Hubbard Jones, of tho firm of Jones, McPherson & Co., who, it is stated, has gone away allowing notes involving the failed firm to go to protest Until Jones returns it will be impossible to straighten out the affairs of the firms whose business has been involved with his. Altogether five firms in the lumber business have failed this week, all more or less tangled with each other—via., J. A. Hartnett & Co., Howard Watson, J. P. Richardson, J. L. White & Co. and the St. Louis Lumber company.

Failure wltli Large Assets.

CINCINNATI, July 15.—The Buckeye Cycle company of this city has failed. Assets, (81,000 liabilities, (50,000. The cause of the failure is the stringency of the money market.

Trade Review*

NEW YOHK, July 15.—R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "There is a somewhat better tone in business because money markets arc a little itss stringent Out (t oannot be said as yet that there is any distinct improvement. In every direction unusual conservatism prevails, orders are relatively small, the volume of business la re* strioted and a wailing policy rules.

The Situation at Various Points. "At Cincinnati trade Is quiet, money a shade easier and bank deposits increasing. At Cleveland trade Is good in groceries, but otherwise dull collections are slow and money olose. In Indianapolis business is waiting and collections are not satisfactory except ID grooerles, and at Detroit trade Is light, money olose and out of twenty-three charcoal furnaces In Michigan only four are in operation. Chloago reports uuusual caution among bankers, though it is bolloved that the worst Is ever, and a fair trade in merchandise, though collections are Blow. Improvement Is expeotod from resumption of business in tbe iron and silver regions, and tbe building trade shows signs of revival with material aper ccnL cheaper than last year. "Jobbers are cautious at Milwaukee, and many manufactories working short hours. At Minneapolis confidence is strengthening and the lumber trade is .good. Collections arc fair. At st Paul a better feeling is seen, though colleottons are slow and trade extremely cautions. Omaha re* ports activity in groceries and fair trade In hardware, but othor trade quiet No improvement is noted at St Joseph and trade at Kansas City is quiet with liberal receipts of oattle and hogs. Trade at St Louis is very satisfactory with good orders for tho fall and busines* ahead of the average for the season. At Denver trade is quiet, but collections slow.

Speculative Markets.

"Speculative markets have not been active during the last week, tuough wheat is 1* cents higher, corn of a cent higher and cotton 1H cents higher. With small transactions, prices have tended upward as the monetary stringency bas relaxed. Tbe treasury has not materially affected the financial situation during tbe last week, aud has taken much less than the usual quantity of silver, because but little was of* fered at the market price.

The Failures.

"The failures for the week have not diminished in number, being 374 in the United States, against 166 last year for the same week."

PROBABLY LYNCHED.

AUen Butler, a Negro* Found Hanging Near Sumner, 111.—Evidence Accumulates Showing That lie Died at the

Bunds of a Mob* VINCKNNKK, lnd., July IB.—Allen Butler, a wealthy colored man of Lawrence county, 111., was found hanging by the neck dead at an early hour Thursday morning and It is believed he was hanged by a mob. He was charged with performing a criminal abortion. Butler and his son were both arrested, waived examination aud were bound over until "Friday. The boy could not give ball and was placed in jail. The feeling against the two negroes was from the moment the terrible charges were made against them. The report spread and soon there was talk of a mob in Sumner and around the home of Butler. By night the feeling was so Intense that a lynching was expected. Thursday morning Allen Butler's body was found hanging to the limb of a tree near his home. That he was taken out and lynched by a mob Wednesday niplit Is not the least doubted at Lawrencevlllc or Sumner. This belief Is strengthened by the fact that a mob of several hundred men was seen within a few miles of Lawreneevllle Thursday at dawn. The •on was taken out of jail Friday and hustled off to Robinson for safe keep-: lng.
