To some people especially in tlie.se short days, when

Oct. UO. A fire,
which resulted in the death of at least sixteen persons and the injury of three others, broke out in the West streethotel, at Columbia and West streets, about 1 o'clock Saturday morning". At 8 o'clock the lire was under control and an investigation of the ruins was made. Thirteen bodies have been identilicd. They are as follows:
John l'\ Anderson, CR V. Unllinam, C. Grahm. laborer Mrs. J. 1L Huneook.of Kolfo. la., mid her throo children, two «lrls. aged 6 and 2years, and a boy aged I: Mrs. ,1. \V. HufTtnan. wife of a well-known farmer of Fall City, Wash.: Anfjus McDonald, M. McSorley, Anurew Olterinan, aged IS Mrs. Ottcrman. of California, his mother Wilson.
A. I'utlcr, brother of the proprietor. is missing. Hichard flavin was radly injured about the head and back by jumping I). 1!. Glass had a broken and his back injured, ami C. ]{. Anderson was burned and badly bruised.
Caused by a I,amp Kxplowlon. The lire was undoubtedly caused by the explosion of a lamp in the. kitchen. The proprietor's son was aroused by the noise of the explosion about 1 o'clock, but before he could investigate the Humes had spread all through the house. The eorru rated iron sheeting kept the Humes hid until nearly the whole interior was a furnace. The thin partitions were of resinous pine covered with cheesecloth and burned furiously. The sixty guests were utoused and the rush for life followed, iremcn Find the Dead.
a. in. the fire was under control and the firemen were able to enter the shell of iron. At the head of the stairs they found the body of a man pinned to the floor by the ruins of a bed. The body was terribly burned. One poor fellow was caught in the rush of the conflagration near the top of the West btreet stairway and sank down overcome with the smoke and flames. The iiivmen fought to keep the tire away from his body but were driven back.
In one of the hallways a body, charred, blackened au«l without a vestige of clothing, was found. A little farther on in the same passageway was another body, evidently that of a woman, face upwards and hands stretched as if fighting for her life and appealing for assistance which ncvor ciiine. There was little left of the woman's form, for part of the body was charred and the burned bones lay around it. iuntlro family Destroyed,
The. saddest sight of all was found in the inside room off the passageway which led to West street. There calmly lying in a charred and blackened bed was evidently an entire family. The father lay on one side, the wife next to him and a little burned and blackened arm, the flesh falling in shreds from it, the small fingers clutched, showed that a child was among the victims.
In a corner of a small inside room two charred and naked skeletons met the gaze of the lookers. The clothing was burned from each, and the first, that of a man with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be lighting an impending danger. Immediately beyond him, also bolt upright and clutching her waist, was the skeleton of a woman. Startled, they had risen from their couch, the smoke and lhitnes had rushed in upon them, and before they had realized their awful danger they were overcome and met the most horrible of deaths.:
A Death 'i rap.
The arrangement of the halls of the hotel made snch a labyrinth in the daytime one unfamiliar with the place would have had dilHeulty in finding his way about without several attempts, and as the halls were tilled with smoke there was little, chance for any of the victims to make their way out before suffocating. Some of the lodgers were asleep and wens overtaken in bed, while others rushed into the halls and were suffocated and .burned,

WAITE IN CHICAGO.
Colorado'* Governor KvpoumlH J'opulUt frlnelpiett in Two Spoochm. CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—Nearly 4,000 populists assembled in Tattcrsal's big pavilion Sunday night to listen to Uov. Waite, of Colorado. Noisy demonstrations marked the proceedings throughout. The prophecy of the chairman that Waite would be the next president evoked five minutes' shouting and cheering of the most vociferous kind. The governor said: ••For twenty years tho two old political parties have adopted tho tlnane'al find governmental policy that has prevailed in kviropo. That policy has produced Inevitable results. It has brought tho common peopln to poverty. The only thing that has saved this country is that It Is more fertile than all the rest of the world."
The governor went on to denounce Senator Woleott. As the result of an infamous and despicable act of congress the speaker cited the fact that in lb7Ji 8KI1 would buy 100 bushels of wheat, while to-day JM00 would buy tfOO bushels. He had been raised a republican, but he had learned that the republican protective tariff protected the north democratic protection protected the south, and neither protected the workingman. lie declared that the old parties had been lighting a sham battle for twenty years over the tariff question, lie branded the whole national bauking system of the country as unconstitutional.
During the afternoon Gov. Waite addressed an audience of 5.000 who had assembled around the Col umbns monument on the lake front.

'JO.—The
article which
annoyed the emperor more than all others in the Caprivi-Kulenburg press feud was published by the Koelniscne Zeitung remove the impression proiueed by the emperor's reception of the East Prussian agrarians. This article said: "Chancellor von ('aprivi won a complete victory overcount Kotho Zu Kulenburg, and as the emperor stood behind Caprivi nothing is. left for Kulenburg but sou me tin* ou de me It re." Kulenburjf, who had already decided to resign, reirded this as an offensive notice to juit. and showed it the emperor.
Disavowal Demanded uml Jtefused. The emperor sent Herr von Lueanus, chief of the civil cabinet, to ask Count von Caprivi whether ho had inspired the article in the (iazette. Count von aprivi replied in the negative, but expressed his sympathy with that paper's views. The emperor thou summoned Count von Caprivi and demanded a public disavowal of the article. Count von Caprivi repeated that he had not inspired the article and would not publish a dislaimer, because he agreed with its views. Ho now had no alternative but to resign, which he did It is now known as a fact that the emperor tried to reconcile the personal differences between the two men. but failed. .Says Cajuivi's Polley Will Continue.
In summoning the federal envoys .to mother conference the emperor said that Caprivi's policy would be continued. This statement is taken with a .Train of salt, as the emperor made a similar statement iminediately after liismarek's fall.

WII.KKSHAKKK. Pa. Oct. UD.--A dastardly outrage was perpetrated at 5 o'clock Sunday morning wherein it was premeditated by the scoundrels to sacrifice fifty or sixty lives by sending them into eternity with a force of dynamite. The motive was undoubtedly robbery, and it resulted in the death of three Hungarians, while a large number were injured, eight of whom are in a serious vendition.
The Vietiius.
The dead are Frank Novako. Mike Callctst and George Nilatski. C'alletz leaves a wife ami four children in Hungary, and Silatski a wife and two children in Bohemia. Nnvako was single.
McDonald & Sayre, railroad contractors. are building a second track of 7 miles on the Lehigh Valley cutoff at a point 1 mile from Fairview in the wilds of Wilkesbarre mountain. A nngurian eainp was located which was presided over by Mike I'rklowltz and wife. The camp consisted of a rough building feet srjuare constructed in the midst of a thicket of scrub oaks beside the track. During the night, as is always the eustoyi. three* of the sixty Hungarian boarders, men and women, sat up on watch and were whiling away the time playing cards.
I'ut Dynamite t'nder the HOUM). Some time during the night a party of desperadoes secured a battery and brought it to the railroad track
front of the camp and connected it with a wire, completing a circuit to each corner of the. camping house. A tool chest near by was broken open, from which were taken a number of dynamite sticks, which were distributed beneath the building. The circuit completed, it was buta moment's work to turn on the battery setting off the dynamite. However, in the haste with which the miscreants worked they made faulty connection at the battery. and when it was turned on but one and certainly not more than two of the dynamite sticks exploded.
Awful Force of the Kxplosion. Frank Novako, who was one of the party playing cards on the first floor was instantly killed, both legs being blown off at tho knee. The building totally collapsed and was shivered into slivers, excepting one-half of the roof which sank in. partially covering the debris. The two other men at the card table were scarcely injured at all, while the others killed uud injured met their fate from the collapse of the building. Occurring as it did before daybreak, the condition of the unfortunate foreigners was deplorable, and in their frensied condition they knew not which way to turn or how to act. The force of the explosion was so great that the earth was lorn up about the site of the camp, and their effects in the way of baggage, cooking utensils, ete. were scattered in every direction.
Kohhery tli" Probable Motive. The boarding boss says lie is at a loss as to what prompted the deed. So far as he knows, he has
110
enemies in
the world. Some of the boarders think the motive was robbery, as several of them were known to have considerable money in their possession. If this was the object, it is plain why the villains placed so much of the explosive under the building. They wanted to kill every person in tho place in order to get the plunder and then escape detection.
S:tw Men ItininiUK Away,
One of the wounded men says that immediately after the explosion he saw Jour strange men running down the roadwaj* leading to the village of Miners' Mills. The}' carried lanterns. While he lay on the ground another stranger approached him and rifled his pockets. He also cut the belt which encircled his waist and carried it away.
