New Orleans Strike Assumes Alarming Proportions. A New Orlenns special, dated the 9th inst, says: The strike situation assumed a serious aspect yesterday. I hero are now the following unions striking. Rice workers, painters, horseshoeps. carpen-; ters, coal wheelers, grain shovellers, printers, clothing clerks, teamsters and lumber yard men, marine and stationary firemen, musicians, coachmen, steamship scrapers, factory girls, paper hangers, salesmen, car-drivers, tailors, nail clerks and newspaper carriers and freight handlers. There was no communication between the employers and the striking employes during the day. The men are beginning to resort to violence in outlying districts and special officers will be appointed. Governor Foster was in cousaltation with his aides all day and the Statfl military holds itself in readiness to I answer the call to arms. It was ordered ' that the water-works and electric men as well as the gas workers strike, I 'ihe water-works men were ordered back to guard against fire; the others, how- I ever, stay out The city will be in dark- | neas before morning as the electrical , men are of the Public Lighting Com- ; pany. Governor Foster is resolved to preserve order at any price. The outlook is very serious. Swallowed a Key. Kansas special: Deputy Coroner Dean swallowed a door key and it is likely . that an incision will have to be had in | his stomach to prevent death. He was on duty in the Coroner's office, sitting in ; a chair tilted back, and slightly dozing. I He had the key in his hand and before going to sleep had been idly tapping it against his teeth. When he went to sleep his mouth dropped open I with the key inside. The telephone ■ rang and Mr. Dean jumped up with a start and gulp and the key was gone. He didn't think about the key till he got across the room to the transmitter. He went at once to Dr. Burke’s office. Emetics were administered, but they failed to budge the key. For breakfast he ate bread, potatoes, and waffles and could retain food easily, fie key was about two inches loqe and flat, and had notches along the sides. Its composition was partly brass and part white metal. Severe Storms on the Atlantic. London special: Vessels arriving at Queenstown report that the weather, continues to be very stormy. The gales ' blow with a fury not often witnessed even at this time of the year, and even the largest steamers are impeded by the mountainous waves. The Arizona, which left New York on Oct. 29, reports , one of the most stormy passages that I she has ever encountered. Almost from the day of starting the weather was terrible and the steamer made way only ' with the greatest difficulty. At times it seemed as if tire great avalanche of , water would crush the vessel beneath, j the sea and vast waves swept with terrible force from one side of the deck to the other. Accidentally Shot. George Thomas, aged 28, and John Maher, 39 years old, both of Brooklyn, N. . Y., were out hunting for meadow larks. ; While Thomas was in the act of placing a shell in his breech loading gun, the latter dropped and Maher, in stooping to pick it up, struck the gun, which went off, the charge of the weapon entering his right side. Before assistance could reach him he was dead. Killed and Hanged. Merjdan (Miss.) special: Those known to have been killed in the fight with the I Tolbert gang in Kemper County are John Tolbpt, shot by Thomas Donald; Thomas Coje, shot by Walter Tolbert; James Tolbert, hanged by mob; farmer fatally wounded.

He was a member of the Forty-seventh congress i Terrible Sufferings. Captain Larsen of the abandoned Norwegian bark Isabella, tells a thrilling story of the sufferings endured by bis crew before their rescue by the Russian bark Seri a. The Isabella while on a * voyage from RicWbucto to Glasson dock encountered a terrible gale in which the was thrown on her beam ends. After three days of continuous labor thu crew succeeded in sawing Off the mastsand throwing overboard the deck cargo, but still the vessel would pot right, heavy seas continuing to sweet) over her. The crew bad a< andoned all hope when the Ser I ba, bound from RichIbttcto to Rhyl, came in sight and at cont . -

tl ilderablo risk took the Isabella’s crew on board. One of thn latter had his leg broke in the transfer. A DESI'EKATE DEED. A New York Drummer shot and Robbed on i u Train. : Missouri Valley (Iowa) special: A , daring robbery was committed near here ’ on the Omaha train of the Fremont and ‘ I Elkhorn Valley railroad. The robber, who was a desperate looking character, boarded the train at Blair, Neb., and as it was approaching the city, running at full rate of speed, the desperado arose from hie seat and walking to within a few feet of a passenger sitting in the forward end of the car. drew a revolver and taking deliberate aim tired a bullet into his victim’s right side. Five more shots wore fired in rapid succession, only one of which took effect As the wounded man sank unconscious to the floor of the car the robber coolly ' picked up a sample case belonging to the Injured man and pulled the cord apply- • ing thenir brake to the train. Ho then drew another revolver and keeping the passengers and tram hands at bay, walked out on the platform and when ■ tho Vain had slowed up sufficiently he jumped to tho ground and ran quickly i Into the woods. Tho victim of this fiendish crime is W. G. Pollock, traveling salesman for the Samuel Bergman Jewelry Company, of New York. His sample case, which the robber secured, contained $15,000 worth of diamonds. He Is seriously wounded but it is believed that he will recover. When the train reached this city the authorities were promptly notified and a posse of a dozen well armed men left at once to take up the trail of tho roober. Neighboring towns were notified and an atItempt will be made tosurround the fugitive and cut off every avenue of escape. AN ANGRY MOB. Destroys Buildings and Arches in Granada, Spain. Madrid special: The population of Granada was greatly disappointed at Queen Regent Christina's refusal to visit the city with King Alfonso after great preparations had been made to receive I them. Tho feeling of disappointment I changed to that of anger, and a, large I | mob went about the city and destroyed | , the handsome triumphal arches that had I been erected. They set fire to the octroi offices and stood by while they burned. ■ Then the mob proceeded to tho stand i that had been erected for the I use of the Imperial party, during the unveiling of a statue of Columbus I and complety destroyed it, together with 1 a platform built for public use. Findj ing no mementoes of the Columbus celebration on which to vent their anger, .the crowd went to the houses of the leaders of the conservative party and assailed them with stones, smashing tho I windows and doing other damage. I While attacking the houses some one in the crowd started the cry of "Down i with the government;'’ "long live [ the republic.” The cries were taker, up by the mob and for a time it looked as though a serious emeute ■ would occur. The revolutionary' cries, ! however, attracted the attention of the i civic guards, as the rioting had not done, and a body of them made a charge upon the mob, slashing right and left with their swords. A number of the rioters were quite severely injured. The mob made no resistance, and all who could do so made off at the top of their speed. Thirty of them, however, fell into the I hands of the civic guard and were locked up- \ WRECK AND FLAMES. Terrible Collision on an English Railway. London special. A' terrible railway accident, accompanied by a number of deaths, occurred near Thiersk, in YorkI shire. Theeast coast express train from Edinburg for London, collided at full speed with a goods train on a siding at Manor House. The wreck of the express train was complete. The engine came full i tilt against the goods train and toppled ' I over, smashed and dismantled, with the ! carriages after it into a held next to the track. The carriages were broken and 1 jammed together and most of the pas- ' sengers were caught in their compartments as in so many traps. The wreck took fire almost instantly from escaping ' gas and the smoke and flame and the shrieks of the dying and wounded made a horrible scene. Those who managed to extricate themselves uninjured hastened to assist others who were yet alive and caught in the wreck. It was diffi- . cult worn, owing to the way in i which the carriages were crushed together, and the trouble in opening com partment doors that were fastened after the usual British fashion. Men and women could be heard shrieking for assistance. and one man who was slowly being burned to death, and who could not get out, begged the rescuers in Heaven’s name to kill him. It is known that no less than ten are dead, and that thirty are injured, twelve of them seriously. JAIL DELIVERY. . Three Prisoners Escape From the Lima Jail by Sawing the Bars. Another jail delivery took place at Lima, Onio. Three prisoners escaped. The fourth one, Ashbury John,a colored man, could not get through the hole in the window, so he gave the alarm to I Sheriff O'Neill. The prisoners gained their liberty by sawing off the irqji gates in the window on the westsideof thejail. Joseph Crider, charged with an attempt to kill,Dr. Wetherili of Bluffton; E. M. Hall and Ja nes M. Williams, charged with forgery,gained their liberty. There , were six other prisoners in jail,including , - Harry Stevenson the boy who shot and | killed Ed Radaliaugh at Mcßeth’s lake. | Tire prisoners had been locked in their i cells, but got out by means of a false j. key. The sheriff thinks Joe Crider, who I is an excellent mechanic, engineered the r , work. Several relatives visited him lately and it is believed they brought bira saws and other tools. The other prisoners say the work of sawing had s been going on for tho past three nights. : Telegrams have been sent to all the ' neighboring towns but no trace has been found of the prisoners as yet* IT WAS THE GILCHER. 1 Grave Fears Concerning Her Fate Confirmed. j' Cleveland special: A special says tho / life saving crew at North Manitou Isj land, Mich, confirms the loss of the . steamer W. H. Giicher. Pieces of the wreck are said to have been picked up by the life savers, who have been unable to learn anything that would ine dicate the survival of a single meme ber of the Gilcher's crew. The owners of the vessel have received no further news of her and have given up all hope. They are convinced that the entire crew have been lost. The crew of the Giicher so far as known ‘ are as follows: Lloyd H. Weeds.master, - Vermillion - Edward Reporter, first mate, s Loraine; Chas. Finley, second mate, 11 Buffalo; Sidney B. Jones, chief engineer, ® Marine City, Mich.: Thos. King, wheelman, Chicago, formerly from Vermillion; “ I). Thompson, oiler", a son of Daniel *• Thompson; Charles Hontoon, 'oiler, s Marine Citv; Will Fanlthauber, fireman, 21 years old, Vermillion.' This leaves “ ten men the names of whom are un- “ known. D , || ; Navajoes 111-Tempered. 1-1 Albuquerque (N. M.) special: A rei- port has reached this city that a very serious outbreak is threatened among the , ’ . .-SihgVJa. ■■ -•

11 Navajoos. Black Horse, a well known 1 chief who controls a large number of young bucks In the tribe and has always sought opportunity to create disturbance, Is said to have put himself at the , head of bls faction occupying the Carreseo Mountains, and they have sworn war and extermination upon people at- ‘ tempting to enter thosp mountains. No I details can be ascertained, but It Is certain that all tho cavalry stationed at Fort Ewing, have left on a forced march t for Camp Defiance. Trouble of a serious nature is manifested. 1 Train 4'olllalon. ' Philadelphia special: Notwithstand- ' ing precautions tho Pottsville accommodation on rounding the sharp curve at the ' upper end of West Laurel Cemetery, on ' tho Reading road, collided with the rear end of a coal train, smashing tho pilot of 1 the engine, giving the passengers a so- ’ vore shaking up and distributing various small cuts and bruises among them. Tho porter of tho Pullman car, J. W. Noall, was cut about the head, and James Cunnfe of Manayunk, was hurt and bruised about the head and chest One coal car was badly smashed and derailed. A Shocking Accident. James McMillan, a'laborer at J. C. Peters’saw-mlil, Fort Wayne. Ind., was caught in the bull wheel used for drawing in logs and had both legs broken below the knee and was otherwise injured. His injuries wore of a shocking nature. His left leg was broken in two places and his knee dislocated; his right thigh was broken and badly crushed; the right calvicle was broken and tho loft side was crushed in. breaking several nbs and injuring tho lungs. McMillan was a trusted employe and has a wife and three children. Ho cannot live. A Shocking Accident A shocking accident happened at Painted Post N. Y. As Rev. J. C. Bradbury. a retired Methodist preacher, and his wife, both over seventy years of age, were crossing the Erie tracks, Mrs. Bradbury’s foot was caught between a rail and plank and before Mr. Bradoury could release her both were struck by a fast express train. Mrs. Bradbury was instantly killed and her body horribly ' mangled. Mr. Bradbury was badly injured and may not survive the result of tho shock. He was one of tbo oldest Methodist ministers in the State. A Disastrous Railroad Wreck In Kansas. One of the most disastrous wrecks that I has everoccurred on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Mazie station, in the Indian Territory, resulting in tho ditching of the engine and seventeen loaded cars, six of which were filled with stock, the killing of Engineer Tom Stanton and dangerously injuring Fred Bly, the fireman, and Logan Dyers, the head brakeman. The accident was due to the engine striking a cow on a i small bridge The loss to the company will be very heavy. Ammunition tor Hostile Purposes. Sioux City special: Word was received from Deputy United States Marshal George Bartlett at Pine Ridge Agency, 1 S. D., .that a party of Indians that recently sold their crops and stock to tho Government have left tho Agency and are in camp at some distance from the Agency. They refuse to trade at the Agency and are buying all their provisions at the railroad stores. They are i laying in a store of ammunition and the action is believed to be a sure sign of hostile intention. Rioting in Berlin. A mob attacked a cordon of police who were keeping the ground for the inspection of Emperor Franeis-Jdfeeph's regiment in Berlin. The roughs were beaten back and overpowered. They made such a desperate fight, however, that the officers found it necessary to use their swords and in the melee many of the rioters were slightly injured and about a : dozen were pushed into the and i narrowly escaped drowning. Ten of the leaders of the mob were arrested. Pope Leo HL A dispatch from Rome says that the Pope is very ill. The Clerical papers makes effort to conceal the fact of bis illness. A few days since His Holiness was found motionless in his room, and his condition caused a panic in the Vatican. Physicians were hastily summoned, and they succeeded in restoring him to consciousness. His Holiness Is very feeble, and faints easily. He has been forbidden to do any work. A Convict Pardoned. Gov. KcKinley has granted a pardon to Patrick Dunnean, who was sent up from Cuyahoga County in April last to serve one year for burglary and larceny.

AFTER THE BATTLE. s —... . . ... - MILWAUKEE PLUUKILY BEGINS l ’ REBUILDING. 1 . Devastation Moro Terrlole than at Fira* j Reported — Acres of Smoldering Heap* . Where Once Wa» Prosperous Aetlvltyt Relief of the Sufferers. I—■ * The Fire as It Was. Milwaukee comsnondonoe. No one had a real not'on of tho havoo - created by our terrific lire till tho fol- . lowing Sunday morning. Tho wind had 3 . died down and the day broke under a i ; clear sky. Miles away tho billows of r j cinoko could be seen rising above the ( ; city, and while they did not sweep the . business streets, they gave to a distant j view tho appearance qf a heavy fog, . rolling under the wind an<J streaking out in long, thin tanners from the I heart of the city. Near the Northwestt, ern depot the extensive destruction worked by the fire became seriously ’ prominent. From the railway tracks ae far as the eye could see through the smoke almost the entire warehouse part of the town was a mass of ashes and broken brick and stone, with here and i there the skeleton of a wall or a chimney rising dimly out of it through the clouds. The lake was rolling viciously, and the line of scorched breakwater showed where IQe fire had bitten down i to the edge of the water. For a while , during the fire even tho piling of this ; breakwater was aflame. i From the railroad tracks for blocks a prosperous part of the town lay smoltL ing. At the limits of the fire-swept dis- , trict thousands of people had gathered and were kept from crowding in by tho policemen and four companies of militiamen armed with rifles. Inside this line the tired firemen were still woiking. Some of them had been fighting the fire ' for a day and a half. They were grimy from the smoke, and their rubber coats were eased in cinders. A few of them were Bitting on piles of brick with the ' nozzles of the hose in their blackened hands. Manv of them were so worn 1 out by the work of the night that they slept beside the engines while men who owned offices in the distr.ct and boys

who volunteered for the fan of the thing played on the embers. Sights Among the Ruins. At every corner a flattened mass of half -burned wood and brick was pointed out as the site of a big warehouse. Nothing except the brick corners of Reideburg’s vinegar factory was left. A lot of galvanized iron sheets and a big hill of malt and grain was a monument to Hansen’s malthouse. The folk who saw that building burn thought it was finer than fireworks. For a moment the windows flared like the isinglass front of a parlor stove. Then the lire died out there and a ring of green gaseous flame ran around the building. In another minute the elevator walls parted and the mass of flaming grain tumbled down in a tremendous cataract. The Weisel & filter machine shop, where a falling wall killed two of the firemen, was only a lot of brick and plaster, and Bubb & Kip’s factory.which gave the second start to the tire, had been absolutely s elled. At the gas works the ruins of one end of the holders was still blazing in spite of the flo d of water poured in by the firemen, and thb machinery was tangled and broken beyond repair. In nearly every mass of ruins men were groping for valuable papers and books and at every corner employes could be seen pouring water on a smoking safe. On the skirts of the burned district the scenes are sometimes pathetic. Little unprotected piles of bed clothing, pictures, and small household belongings had been left by fle.dng thousands. Once in a while a shivering boy was seen standing beside the wreckage of a home—a broken clock, battered image, a bag of tablewaie and some poor clothing. In the middle of Buffalo i street a deserted truck stood loaded 1 with one trunk and a little rocking chair decorated with a neat “tidy.” These things were the wreekage of small homes burned out in the Thlid Ward, where hundreds of cottages of workingmen were swept away by-the fire. The Distressing Feature. The burning of these poor houses was the distressing feature of the fire. Milwaukee can stand well enoug.i the destruction of big warehouses, for thee are many big warehouses th re and many rich men able to put up buildings in the plate of those ruined. The cottages destroyed belonged to the poor laboring men. Home of these men squatted along the lake shore years ago, and nearly all the houses represent hard saving and long work. T..ey went like tallow before the fire and left no monument--4 al ruins to mark' their site. Family after family applied to the relief & organizations or crowded into St. John's Cathedral and the Northwestern depot. Prompt relief was given to them as soon as the excitement of the night Was settled, and there was as little suffering as ever followed a big fire. The hotels fed" hundreds fit hungry men. Pabst’s Hotel loaded up the Chicago firemen with coffee and steaks, and with 4 the other houses sent a patrol wagon load of so d down to the smoke-stained men who were slugging the fire near the lake. 1 he people of Milwaukee had hardly turned out of bed to sep the fog of the fire rising before men were hustling ; around to raise ihoney for the unfortui nate folks. Telegrams came in from roundabout towns, from Oshkosh and | Madison and Janesville and Racine, all of which are tributary for Milwaukee’s | business. There little towns all offered to help as far as they could. A telegram came in from Mayor Washbume, of (hl ago. The Mayor evidently thought Milwaukee had I een shoveled clean off the earth, for ho telegraphed In a goodhearted way about Chicago rising from its ashes and hoping Milwaukee would rise from Milwaukee ashes. These telegrams and letters were taken thankfully but Milwaukee went about helping its own people with its own hands. Milwaukee Raises *31.000. Hundreds of businessmen poured into the chamber of commerdb building and

almost before President Bacon could 1 make a talk $31,231 had been subscribed. It was headed by a whaling big check I for >5,000 sent in by the Democratic candidates for county offices, who are not rich mon; Phil A ran ur gave $5,000 anti sal 1 he would give a lot more for i bls old home; tho Browers’ Association • subscribed $>,000; Henry 0. Payne, tho Bepubll an comm.tteoman, handed in si,ot)o, and tho same amount was contributed by Captain Fred Pabst, the Wisconsin Fire and Marine Insurance Bank, John L. Mitchell, Banker Ilsioy, Cudahy Bros., > August Uihleln, E. P. Bacon and Mr. • Bosseanu. 1 ong after tho meeting I money was rolling in and at 5 o’clock i —. v tl O'! t u 9IK5 l *t| f PT fir NEAH thr gashouss. the fund was estimated at. near $50,000. It continued to grow until the $109,(100 mark was parsed. That's not enough to build up one of the ruined warehouses, but it will make comfortable hundreds of homeless Third Ward people. None of these was permitted to undergo hardship. Every burned-out family was taken care of some" het e and by somebody. Probably no- town was ever so badly cut by a fire to come out so cheerful and happy ns Milwaukee. The real estate board, which raised a considerable sum in addition to its first denation of $5,090, turned the entire amount over to the relief committee,

concluding not to distribute the money on its own account. One of the most substantial contributions for the relief of the poor came from Frank A. Lappen & Co. The firm had sold furniture on the installment plan to many of those who were burned out and had over $2,500 still due and secured by notes. In spite of the fact that he was a heavy loser by the lire, having had a quantity of furniture burned in Bub & Kipp’s factory, Mr. I appen announced that he would give rece pts in full to those of the sufferers who still owed him anything. The work of searching for the safes of the various firms was commenced eariy. In nearly every case the papers, which alone would enable the losers to estimate correctly the amoi nt of their loss, were in the burn ng buildings. To get at these a force of several hundred w orkmen armed with pick axes and shovels was turned loose. Several safes were found, but it was impossible to open them, as the locks had become so warped and twisted that the bolts could not be turned. Rebnlldlnu the Frelphthousee. The enterprise shown by the big sufferers is exemplified by the work of the Chi ago and Northw stern Railroad. Both the outgoing and incoming freight REMAINS OF BEIDEBURO VINEOAB WORKS, WHICH OCCUPIED NEARLY A BLOCK. houses were burned. Nothing but the , bare walls were standing, while ins de i of them was a mass of smoldering wreckage which occasionally broke out , into bright flames. By night of Monday the buildings were nearly all roofed. , At one time they were forced to quit, , owing to a blaze which broke out In the t south end o' one of the buildings while I they were putt ing /a roof on the north . end. An engine was called and the blaze was soon extinguished. Insurance men are doing their best , to settle lhe trouble for the poorer of , the sufferers. They are anxious that ' all small losses be ad uste las soon as i possible iind accordingly a special comI mittee will have such claims in charge. I One incident which has received noat- , tention owing to the excitement caused I by the big Are was the burning of seven , cottages in the southwestern part of the f city Friday evening. The people who t were burned out lost everything they r possessed, and they will be included in . the list of those to be g.ven relief. 1 Dr. James who has • just graduated from the Boston Vnlver- ■ slty as a physic.an, is a blind man, but has a record of M<> per cent, in his three . years* study, and on his final examination obtaine 1 98 per cent, in anatomy. > He will devote himself especially to dlsl eases of theheart and lungs.
