FIREMEN FALL WITH A BLAZING ROOF

Hau of Them Art Pltuiged Into Fiery Furnace—Nine Taken Out Dead—A dumber Woonded—Thrilling

Scenes of Rescue.

MET DEATH AT DUTV'S POST. MILWAUKEE, April 10.—Nine firemen met a horrible death In afire which destroyed the Davidson theater on Third street between 4 and 8 a. m. Monday. The big stone building', which contained the finest playhouse in the city and the Davidson hotel, was burned to the ground In the midst of a blinding storm of rain and sleet, and in the final crash of falling roof and walls several companies of the fire brigade were thrown from the top story into the pit of the. flaming furnace. The disaster is one of the most frightful that has befallen the city since the Newhall house burned down, when scores of lives were lost. The Davidson blook was one of the most imposing in Milwaukee and the pecuniary loss of the fire is estimated at between $800,000 and I8B0.000.

The Victim*,

The following is a list of the dead: Third Anils taut Chief August Jangsen, *85 Eighth street Frank McGurk, lieutenant truck company No. 4 and acting captain No. 14, 8W Park street Fred Kroesschmuer, plpeman cbemloal oompany No. Capt. Arohlo Campbell, of the flreboat Foley, 71 Twenty-seventh street AUle Rle*, company No. 8, killed by a falling ladder James C. Freeman, lieutenant oompany No. 4 Frank Wlnne, ohemloal No. 4, found In baloony of theater Thomas Morgan, engine oompany No. 1 John Farrell, chemical No. 8.

Curran, No. 1, Internally Injured, probably fatally John Crowley, Internal Injuries, may reoover.

A Total I.OM.

The valuable scenery and property of the Lilliputians, whose ten days* engagement at the theater was to close on Wednesday, is all gone. Manager Rosenthal of the company says it was worth $50,000.

Plunged to a Fiery Death.

Shortly after 5 o'clock, when the fire was seemingly under control, the theater roof, on which a score or more firemen stood as they fought the flames, went down, and the brave men were carried with it to the floor of the auditorium below. Some were extricated from the furnace of flames, in which the whole interior was now enveloped, by their brave and more fortunate comradeH, who risked their lives to drag out the prostrate forms of the dead and injured men. Six or eight men were soon brought out, and those who were able to speak said there were ten or more in the ruins, where living death awaited them, For these poor fellows there was no chance. The burning roof had fallen on them, and they were roasted to death, if they had not been killed outright in that terrible plunge from the roof.

A cry of horror went up from the firemen who saw the awful catastrophe. The members of the insurance patrol wore covering up the seats in the parquet of the theater when sud deuly a light was seen through the roof above. The men in the theater ran back just in time, and the next moment the roof fell into the parquet of the theater. Several of the men in the theater were caught by the falling timbers.

A Poor Fellow's Owtli Cry. The scene that followed is never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. For a moment all was dark, then suddenly a tremendous sheet of flame shot up and with it came the cries of the firemen who had fallen through the roof to the theater below. One man was heard to cry: "My God, help me. 1 am roasting to death."

Several Firemen Are lleanied. There was trouble in getting water on tlie fire, which now rapidly made its way through the theater and scenery. The water was finally turned on, and several of the firemen who bad fallen nearest the front door of the lobby were dragged from the burning debris and carried out more or less injured. The men were removed to the saloon across tho street and their wounds dressed, while the other firemen bravely kept at work pouring a deluge of water on the debris and trying to rescue others of the unfortunates. Hut soon no more cries were heard, and it was evident that all who had not been brought out must now be past hope.

The interior of the auditorium soon became a seething mass of flames, which the firemen vainly endeavored to subdue in order to save their doomed comrades. While the frantic men were at work amidst the ruins on the floor of the parquet, the gallery began to burn, and while directing their attention to this blaze another portion of tho roof fell, making the rescue of the imprisoned men impossible and adding inoro fuel to the fire.

Fell from a Ladder.

The first fatality of the fire happened before the more awful tragedy on the roof. Oil in Relss, a fireman, lost his life while trying to leach the roof of the theater before the roof fell. lie had put up a ladder from the northern wing of the hotel building, which is two stories lower than the theater proper, when the ladder swayed and he fell with It to the roof of tho wing. He was carried away and dipd in the arms of his comrudes. He was a member of engine company No. 8.

Crowley's Thrilling Experience. But the most thrilling experience of *11 was that of John Crowley. For

THE CRAWFORDSYILLE JOURNAL.

several hours he was pinned beneath tlis ruins, suffering bodily torture, but brave and self-possessed all the while. From 8:80 o'olock until 13:15 his comrades worked to liberate him. It was known that he had been buried, but tho firemen thought he must be dead or unconscious until one of the men heard a faint sound Putting his ear down he listened and then shouted: "Who's down there?" "This is John Crowley," came the faint reply. "I'm alive, but for God's sake don't drown me. There are two men dead beside me, and Tom Morgan of No. 1 is one of them."

A oloud of hot smoke drove the men baok, and, flames bursting forth, it was neoessary to pour in more water. The faint cries of Crowley could bo heard. "For Qod's sake kill me in some other way than by drowning. I oan't stand all that water. I'm lying on my back."

Administered the Lmt Baorament. But the fire was soon put out and fifty men, a special detail ordered by Chief Foley, set to work to rescue the brave fellow. Crowley grew weaker and the men heard him say he could not last muoh longer. Then came a most dramatic incident. William Crowley, a brother, appeared with Father Haven, a Catholio priest. The father bent down and spoke to the Imprisoned man. In reply Crowley said that the water was nearly over his head and fast rising, and asked that the last saorament of tho church be given him, and there, amid the steaming ruins, the dense smoke and tho charred timbers, the priest administered the last sacrament, and fifty men stood around with their helmets off, all brothers, all comrades, Catholic and non-Catholio.

The work of rescue was pushed by details of ten men working in five-min-ute shifts, and they fought the stubborn timbers and beams like mad men. At 11:80 o'clock Crowley's head was free, and a shout went up that shook the tottering side walls. Shortly after his right leg was freed, but it looked as if nothing could save the other limb. "Bring a hand ax and cut that leg off, boys," said Crowley. "All I want is to get out of here alive for one minute, and I can't last much longer this way."

Keieuoft at Lant.

But the firemen kept at work anu inside of an hour the man was pulled out. lie was perfectly limp and his face wore a distorted look, showing plainly the terrible agony he had gone through. As he was placed on the stretcher he opened his eyes and ondeavored to smile to hiB companions, bi^t the effort was too much and his head sank baok. He was conscious, but he was unable to utter a sound.

He wa placed in the ambulanco and taken dlroctly to the Emergency hos» pltal. When Crowley was carried into the Emercency hospital his p-ilso had almost ceased beating. Dr. Fox, assisted by MIBS Jackson, the matron of the hospital, worked over him an hour bofo, he returned to consciousness. Ills puise gradually quickened and at S o'clock was quite strong. Dr. Fox say Crowley is suffering from the shock to his nervous system, but with good care will recover.

SCALDED TO DEATH.

Seven Men I.oee Their Lives In a Michlg«n Hallway Wreck. NEW ERA, Mich., April 10.—On the floor of Staples & Covell's logging camp 3 miles east of here lie seven charred and scalded bodies, the result of the most frightful railroad accident that ever happon&l in this section. Tho logging crew of Staples & Covell's road were returning from White river camp sliCrtly before noon Monday and when within sight of camp the narrow-gauge engine struck a falling tree and was knocked over a lfl-foot embankment, carrying nine men down with it. The men were thrown into the wreckage, which pinned them down and they could not avoid the esoaping steam. Seven of them are dead, one is seriously injured and one slightly hurt. The following are dead:

Adolph Sbelundcr, engineer, Whitehall Gus Anderson, fireman Frank Slilppy, foreman, Newapgo county Martin Lynoh, Whitehall, walked 1 mile and fell doad Charles Wolfe, scalded und burned Lorren Crltohell. Allen Crltc.hclL brother of Lorrcu.

Anderson's scalp and forehead were completely roasted and hiB abdomen burned to a crisp. The bones of Shippy's hands and arms were laid bare and his sides likewise, but he succeeded in taking off most of his clothing before he died.

The road starts 3 miles east of here and runs parallel with the Chicago & West Michigan to White river, a distance of 7 miles. Staples & Covell were cleaning up adjoining land and last winter had logs skidded along the track.

TUESDAY, APRIL 10,1894

DAVID HASHIS SAY.

Senator Hill Is Heard on the Tariff BUI.

AX ATTACK OS THE SENATE MEASURE

lie Argues in Criticism of tlie Administration's Hawaiian Policy and devotes tho licit of His Speech to Denouncing Income Tax.

MAIS POINTS IN HIS REMARKS. WASHINGTON, April 10.—Senator Hill has made his expeeted tariff speech. He covered the whole policy of the administration, but particularly made an exhaustive and blttor attack on the in-come-tax section, which he denounced as un-American and undemocratic, and as certain to result in injury to the laboring classes not directly affected by its provisions.

In his opening Senator 11 ill asserted that the election of 1892 voiced the general demand for the abolition of the policy of protection for protection's sake and In favor of a tariff for revenue. He then took up the foreign policy of the administration, saying:

Hawaiian Policy a Blunder. "It IK not denied that some mistakes have occurred. Our foreign policy, especially that relating to Hawalt, ltmubt be admitted, has not met the expectation* of the people. That unfortunate contemplated policy was a blunder, and a blunder is sometimes worse than a crime. It was, bow* evor, the natural consequence which might well have been anticipated from that other mistake In placing the department of state in charge of a republican statesman, distinguished aurt estimable though he may be, whose public services have always been identified in opposition to the democratic party, who was without sympathy for Its traditions and purposes and whose political convictions upon the disputed public questions of the day, if'OhaD^ml at all. are carefully concealed. It is to be regretted that the president should not have been able to find In bis own parly some safe and honored statesman In whom be and bis party could have placed confl. dence, one of democratic instincts and training, whose management of foreigu affairs would have reflected credit upon the country and would have avoided the promulgation of tho uu-Amerlcau policy—a departure from democratic precedents—which was sought to be forced upon an unwilling people, in this view of the situation our opponents must accept some share of the responsibility for the blunders committed in our foreign affairs. "In other respects the present administration of our government affords scant grounds for Just criticism."

Tariff Keform.

The senator spoke of the repeal of the federal election law as a fulfillment of the party's pledges aud a triumph for the just doctrine of state's rights, and indorsed the repeal of tho* Sherman law. Coming" then to the main question—tariff reform—he said: "Revision should be approached with circumspection and with a realizing sense of the changed condition of the country since 1887 und 18Q0. An extreme reduction of tariff duties at a time when the trcas ury was swollen with a surplus of *100,000,000, when the couutry was reasonably prosperous. when all our industries were In operation and when all our workingmen were employed, assumed a different aspect and presented a different question v/hen proposed now, with a large and growing treasury deficit instead of a surplus staring us In the face, with our industries paralyzed, our manufact ories closed, our workingmen Idle and following upou the heels of ouo of the most disastrous llnanoial panics in our history. What was safe and prudent aud wise then it would be criminal folly to attempt now. The present is no time for partisanship, and democrats and republicans alike should strive to solve existing problems in a spirit of broad patriotism. "In the face of the prostration of private ludustries and lu th£ presence of such a paralysis of general business as the treasury dellcit attests and prolongs, this bill, us framed by Its authors and us paused by the house, sought to double the dellcit hy discarding customs revenue and to fill the void with an iueoino tax."

Income Tax riMlenioiTHtU'.

The rest of his speech WON given up to the income-tax question, and his opening words defined his position in unequivocal ami forceful language, lie said: "Against such a scheme—unnecessary, illtimed and mischievous—suddenly sprung upon the country in the hour of its distress, undemocratic in its nature and socialistic iu lis tendencies, 1 entor the protest of tho people of th: suite of New York. They utterly dissent from any proposal to get revenue for the goncral government by taxing incomes. Their dlsseut la practically unanimous and altogether lmplaoablu."

He intimated that the tariff bill was constructed on lines laid down by the administration that it was an anomalous state of affairs when the president should be able to give cougress information as to what had occurred in a committee of the house, and continued: "Hut the strangest part of this unprecedented proceeding was that in fact that very dateol the message, to wit, Deoember 14, 1808, neither the full committee ou ways and means, nor the democratic members thereof, had agreed upon any Income-tax or upon other Internal taxation "The senior senator from Indiana (Senator Voorhees) calls this allegation a 'noisy and resounding charge/ *t mo tell biin that it is not half as noisy as the constant vituperations we hear on every hand from blatant demagoKues who are abroad iu the laud Inveighing against tho wealth of the country and impudently demanding "confiscation through every means which their devilish ingnnuitv can invent.'

Prefer* ludlrect Taxation.

Senator 11 ill said that for his part, as a democrat, he preferred indirect taxation and tariff reforms above direct taxation and tariff extention. He preferred taxing foreign products ruthcr than taxing home products. He followed Jefferson in regarding even the species of indirect taxation on home products, by international revenue war taxes, as not good to be extended, and the first to be rid of when their need is past.

Steady to Vote for Keiliictloii. In conclusion he defined his position in these words "I stand ready to support uny reasonable measure for tariff reform framed within the lines aud based upou the principles whloh 1 have here partially indicated, and whloh were fully set forth in my speech in opening the political campaign in ttrooklyn on September 19, 18£2. I stand to-day where I stood then 1 have nothing to add and nothing to retract I will clioerfully vote for tho Mills bill and join with you in making many material reductions of duties therein. I am ready to waive all minor differences of details which do not Involve a question of principle."

THE PROBE.

It la Applied to Judge Jenkins' Famous Action.

CONGRESSMEN BEGIN AN INQUIRY.

'flie Uoatner Investigating Committee at Work In Milwaukee to Ascertain the Facta Regarding the Northern

Pacific Injunction.

MII.WAUKKK, April 10. —It was after several delays and false starts that the congressional investigation into the acts of Judgo Jenkins in connection with the issuance of an Injunction restraining the employes of the Northern Pacific railroad from quitting its service, "with or without notice," was finally begun Monday in the spacious club-room of the Pfister hotel.

The three Inquisitors representing the government of the United States sat in a row before a long desk, while opposite sat Attorney Harper, of Terre Haute, Ind., the representative of the labor men. Around the walls of the room sitting primly in the. big leather chairs were: Receivers Henry C. Payne and Thomas G. Oakes, exSenator John C. Spooner, Attorney \V. J. Curtis, of New York, Attorney G. P. Miller, Judge Seamans, John T. Fish and James U. Flanders, tho labor representatives, Horace llublee and other local celebrities. A few preliminaries wore gone through with, such as the reading of the resolution, the authority from congress to make the investigation and the various writs and the iujunction in part Attorney Harper placed a hand ful of documents In evidence and pointed out that the receivers themselves represented that there was no contract with the men.

Features of the Kpsalon.

The features of tho proceedings were: That Congressman Terry made the point that the receivers did recognize the chiefs by sending them notices of Intent to out the wages that the men considered the injunction binding on them to remain in the employ of the road whether satisfied or not that the acceptance of the new schcdulo of wages was made with the shadow of the injunction over them that the men were hired by the day or by the mile and could be discharged at any time that the injunction has practically rendered the unions inoperative.

Worltlntft of tlie Union Kxplalncd. Edgar T. Clark, grand chief of the Order of Railway Conductors, was the first witness. He proved a shrewd, plain speaker and conservative in his views, lie explained the workings of the order und showed that it required a two-thirds vote of the men in order to have a strike. He gave a history of the conferences with the receivers and showed that the injunctions were issued before efforts to arrive at an amicable underatanding could be reached.

During tho evidence the witness gave his sentiments as follows: "I believe that next to the home the labor organizations are tho pillars of our government. They teach men obedience to the laws and make them better citizens while advancing their interests and those of their employers."

Marshal Failed to Find llliu. Mr. Clark said he had not been served with the injunction, although a United States marshal had hunted for lilrn. He is bound by the order, however, and would not have sanctioned a strike under the circumstauccs. He said also that the men felt bound by tho order not to quit the employ of the road and would not strike.

In answer to Representative lioatner, Mr. Clark said he did not think the injunction had done any harm so far as the Northern Pacific employes were concerned, but it had been harmful in a general way to workingmen, as he believed it was an abridgement of their constitutional rights, and established a precedent which would bo followed by all courts had not congress been called on to investigate.

Mr. Sargent's testimony was practically to the same effect Congressman Stone's questions were altogether on the line that the judge's action was necessary, and he repeatedly tried to trip the witnesses. The committee adjourned to meet to-day at 10 o'clock.

Inetruetloufl Favor AIIM I'ollnrd. WASHINGTON, April 10.—Attorney Carlisle consumed the time Monday in the criminal court in a review of tho test! mony before tho jury iu the Pollard Breckinridge case. Mr. Curlisle will continue to-day, and it is not improbable that the speaking will last until Friday. Judge Hradlo.y delivered his instructions to the jury, and to the effect that the burden of proof rests upon Breckinridge to snow that the marriage contract was not made in good faith by both parties. Attorney Carlisle used defendant's deceptions before Mrs. Blackburn as an argument that his testimony is not credible.

Wont Storm in Fifty Veam. ST. JOHN, N. B., April 10.—-In over half a century a storm to equal the one now prevailing, which began Sunday night, cannot be recalled. All traffic is suspended. All railroad communication is shut off, the public schools are closed and the streets are deserted. All vessels in the harbor and all the wharves have thus far ridden the gale in safety, and no disasters are reported.
