According to tho Tribune, tho loss to the Western Union Telegraph Company i about S100.CUO. There was no insurance on any of tho property. Tho greater loss in the sudden interruption o2 the business of the company cannot be calculated. Very Orapblo Description of the Fire. New York, July 18. Tho first man to discover tho firo was operator Lewis. He had just finished sending a message and looked up at the big clock for the time to mark it. It was ju st 7, and as he wrote the figure on the back of themessagetherecameto his nose the smell of rubber burning. There was no mistaking that pecnlar odor, and as he looked up, never dreaming what was to follow, he saw a thin and almost transparent film of sinoko bursting and curling from the net work of wires which is known

as the distributing ring. . It was so slight and so vapory as to cause little or no alarm at first. Night manager Tobin, sitting over at his desk on the opposite side, had also seen the vapory film wafted upward, and as Lewis approached from one side he came up from the other. But before the place was reached more smoke came np. There was no mistaking it this time. It meant fire. Tobin is a quickwitted man, and besides ho has had a like experience; so he cried out. "There is a fire," and then he jumped for the wall where the hand grenades hung. It did not take a minute for tho thirty men to get to their feet, and when they looked they saw besides the smoke, which by this time had increased to a solid black column, pregnant with a sickening, suffocating smell, and javelins of 11 a me. which pointed straight up and came higher and higher each second. They all began to pnll down the hand grenades and throw them down the hole where the llames were. The contents splashed out when the glass vessels broke, and tho liquid sputtered a little as it met the fire. That was all the visible effect. Hand grenades could not fight a fire like this. Tobin called the boy who was nearest him. He was Martin Doyle, a messenger. "Go down stairs as fast as your legs will : let you1 he said, "and send out an alarm." Ana the little fellow ran, with a white face, to the stairway in the northwest corner of the room, and stumbled down the iron stairs at a pace he had never known before. ' He was only a telegraph messenger, but his 1 epeed down the stairs was remarkable. He blattered down, turning the corners so Nsroickly it made him dizzy. It 6eemed a ' long while to him before he got down, and s soon as he reached the street he ran for the automatio lire-box on the corner. Marty did not know very much about turning In fire alarms; he has not had much experience in that ' line, but he once saw a policeman send out an alarm, and his obeservations stood him in pretty good stead. He knew the big brass handle had to be turned, eo he reached up and turning it pulled the door open. Then he gave the hook inside a jerk and the bells in the engine houses rang out the number. As soon as the boy had started down stairs the operators unrolled the big hosewheel which is kept at the south side of the floor always ready for an emergency of this kind. They unrolled the hose and Tobin turned the water on. It was a pretty good stream, and it looked at first as if it would beat the waves of fiame out of existence. . But it did not not a bit. The only effect' a A. A . it, seemea to nave was to maxe xuo nre shoot up higher, and it was noticed that the smoke came rolling out of the big hole m greater volumes than before. They were certainly brave men, and the three women operators. Miss Anderson, Miss Foley and Mrs. Adams, the only members of the day force who arrived, stood right . there, half choked with the suffocating smoke, and en-, couraged the men as well as they could. These operators worked the hose until the smoke became so thick that they could not see where the firo was. It began to assume the proportions of a big black blanket which almost filled the room. The women never lost their heads. They kept as cool as veteran firemen, and the men worked like beavers. It was evident that they did not know what was going on down in the battery-room below them. If they could have obtained one glimpse of tho furnace that was burning away the boards and rsfters under their very feet they would havo tied in a state of panic. The fire had crawled along the floor to the north windows, and it bounded out into the air as if it was glad to be free from the smell of smoke, which it seemed trying to shake oil. The elevator menl had brought the elevator up to the fifth floor, and the three women went in the cars with some of the men. The hose had been dropped by this time with the nozzle pointing somewhere in the direction of the distributing ring box. As fast as the elevator cars could take thoni the men crowded in. They began to realize by this time that the fire was going to do a mucn more serious anair tnan was at first thought. Smoke was coming through the cracks of the floor, and the boards were becoming pretty hot to stand on. When the last few men crowded into the last car they were just a little bit frightened. As they passed the floor below a hot wave rolled over them, rbich made their throats dry and parched, and as the car proceeded down firebrands fell upon them and burned their clothing. When the car reached the bottom they were all glad enough to get out. for what with the heat and the water which the firemen had begun to pour into the building, and the thought that they were A A a 1 . 7 . 1 1 A i preny near me uoor wnicn leaus to eiernixy, they were in a bad way. Not until then did these men realize that escape had almost been cut off, and it is not on record where men worked so hard under such fearful cjrcumstances and against such odds as did these thirty men. ELEVATOR BURNED. Another Destructive Fire at Crawfordsville, Causing a Eois of 815,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsville, July 18. The second large and destructive .lire within a weed occurred this morning, being discovered t about 2 o'clock. The Crabbs & Reynolds 'elevator, situated near tho Monon depot. ' was nearly destroyed, the only portion saved being the engine-room. This is the second time within a year that this lirm has been burned oat, both fires being prob- . ably of incendiary origin. The elevator destroyed to-day was a new building, occu pied only a short time, and was built by Ed. Reynolds, who only last Wednesday had sold a half interest to B. F. Crabbs for 6,000. The fire originated in the basement. and when the alarm was given the flames were coming through the roof. The struct ure, being inclosed in corrugated iron, served the purpose of an immense flue, where the flames could not be reached with A ml a A a water. me supply ot water was very poor again, and water could not be thrown to the third story. Ed. Reynolds is a son-in-law of Mr. Martin. who lost 6,000 a week ago by the burning of his ice-bouses. The total loss will be over 15,000, with an insurance of 9,000. The loss on the buildine is $8,000. with an insurance of $5,000, of which $4,000 is in the r.vansville Citizens' and 1,000 in the New Hampshire company. There were 8,000 bushels of wheat burned, valued at $7,000: insured for $4,000, of which $1,000 was in "Winchester. $l,0O0in Peoria German, $500 in Milwaukee Mechanics, and $500 in Farmers of York, Pa. Besides tho wheat owned by the firm, there were several hundred bushels stored in the building by farmers, who were waiting for higher prices -before selling. This is a total loss. There seems to be no doubt but that the Citv Council will at once take some action in regard to the insutlicient supply of water furnished by tho water-works. This makes a loes of $21,000 within a week, mainly owing to tho scant supply of water. Other Fires London, July 18. The Manchester Canal Company's warehouse in Liverpool has been burned. An enormous quantity of cotton, gram and Hour was consumed, Ihe damage is estimated at $3JO,000. Newark, N. J., July 18. Fire" broke out this afternoon in the north wing of tho Foster Home. Luckily most of the little inmates were in the yard playing at the time. Those in the building were taken out safely. The ninety-eight children in the building are being cared tor by neigh- . bors. The entire north wing was destroyed. llio damage amounts to 1 0,000.

ARID LAND SPECULATORS

Senator Keagan Says They Dave Tried to Influence Legislation on Irrigation. Lively Delate on the Subject Between the Texan and Mr. Stewart Quick Work in the Census Bureau Mortgage Statistics. ARID I1lNI IRRIGATION. Tho Subject rrovokes a Passage at Arms Iletween Senators Reagan and Stewart. Washington, July 18. Consideration of the sundry civil-service appropriation bill was resumed in the Senate to-day, the . pending question being, as on yesterday, ' the amendment repealing the irrigation provision in the like bill of Oct. 2, 18SS, excepting that reservoir and canal sites heretofore -located or selected shall re main segregated and reserved from entry or settlement. Mr. Reagan continued his argument against the amendment and in favor of the irrigation . schemo initiated by the act of 18SS. Referring to Major Powell, Mr. Reagan said that if ho ever knew an honest man, the director of the geological survey was one. If that gentleman could have been used by land syndicates, not a word would ever have been heard of the attacks now made .upon him. It was because he could not bo used by speculators in the public lands that war had been made upon him. Mr. Stewart Does the Senator from Texas ascribe that motive to me! Mr. Reagan 1 have not said a word about tho Senator from Nevada, nor have I had him in my mind. I was referring to the general subject and to the fact that during the early part of this Congress representatives of syndicates and corporations were nero urging a repeal oi mis law, aim threatening to bring their power to bear on members of Congress. It was that which I had in view. Mr. Stewart Will the Senator name some agent of some syndicate? Mr. Keaean 1 have no doubt that tne Senator from Nevada knows as many of them as I do. I have no disposition to en gage in personalities either with agents, or claimants, or Senators. I gave my knowl edge of facts and of men who spoke to me on this subject; and I beg the Senator to consult his own memory as to whetner he has 6een such men. Mr. Stewart If you will allow me. I wi 1 consult my memory, and I now state that no representative of any syndicate, or of any person interested in land, has men tioned the subject to me this session, ihe only thing that has influenced me has been my own observation, and the protests that have come from tho people against having the publio lands withdrawn from the market. Mr. Reagan These laud sharks may have thought me weaker, less pure, less devoted to the public interests than the senator from Nevada, and may, therefore, have approached me when they did not deem that they dared to approach him. When wo talk of public sentiment we ought to have the sentiment of the cultivators of the soil, and not of land speculators, who combine their intluence. activity and wealth to make members of Congress believe that their own interests and their own feelings are those of the people. MrAllison said that within tho country designated as the arid region there was a population ox between two and three mill ions. Great communities had established themselves there, all on the security and guarantees of the laws which had existed up to this time; but suddenly and without a note of warning, two-iifths of the area of the United States has been reserved from settlement. In order to consnnimato that policy State lines and Territorial lines would have to be obliterated and vested rights absolutely ignored. He earnestly protested against such legislation. Mr. Allison desired to put himself on record against any appropriation being made in the direction of continuing tho irrigation survey. He was firmly convinced that an immediate stop should be put to that sur vey. The result of its continuance would be to involve the government in enormous expenditures and entanglements. After further discussion by Messrs. Plumb, Cockrell, Teller and Stewart the question was put and tho amendment was agreed to. Other amendments recommended by the committee on appropriations were agreed to, including the following: Striking out the item of 8720.000 for the ir rigation survey; the item of $50,000 for en graving tho maps, and the item of S7.500 for rent of oflice rooms in . Washington. The bill was then laid aside. Mr. Allison gave notice that he would ask the Senate to remain in session to-morrow until tho bill should be completed. COUNTING DAY AND NIGHT. Double Force of Clerks at Work on the Cen susCongressional Reapportionment. "Washington 8peclal to 8t Louis Q lobe-Democrat. The counting-rooms of the Census Office are ablaze to-night, and the electrical counting machines are making metallic music. Beginning with to-day, a. double force will manipulate the keys. One set of clerks will run the ninety machines from 9 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. The other force will come on at 6 o'clock in the evening and count until midnight. This doubling up of the counting work is significant. It means that the population of the country will be made known in about half the time which the ordinary routine in the oflice would have required. The regular force has been counting tho re turns at the rate of 1,000,000 or 1,500,000 names a day. The total is now 15,000,000; That means that about one-fourth of the schedules have been counted. From this time the machines will turn out 2,000,000 and more for each twentv-four hours that they run. About the 12th of August Super intendent Porter will inform Congress and the country how many people we havo got. Possibly the end may be reached a day or two earlier. Mr. Porter's guess on the total is 64,500,000. lie made it a couple of weeks ago cince then the rule of accepting sup plementary schedules has been adopted. Under it additional names are coming from all parts of the country in such numbers as to cause considerable surprise. The grand result may yet whow 05.000,000. There is no mistake about tho meaning of this night and day work. Ihe rough count, as it is called, is the one udou which the apportionment of members of Congress is made. The Superintendent of the Census proposes that Congress shall have the total in time for apportionment at this session, if desired, lie is going to com plete the count and furnish the figures so long before adjournment that it will not be his fault if the November elections are not held under a new apportionment. Whether the Republican leaders are in spiring the superintendent to complete tho count in .time for a reapportionment at this session is yet to no developed. Per haps immediate action will depend upon how the increase of population is found to 1 J.' i-il A - 1 A. 1 A A uti uisiriuuieu amuug iuo Slaves. The committee on tho election of Presi dent. Vice-president and members tf Con gress will take up the subject of reappor tionment as soon as the total population is announced by Mr. Porter. Republican members of the committees have already talked about it in an informal way. The plan most favored is to have the IIouso consist of 549 or 351 members. The total population will be divided by the number of members, and tne result will ue tho unit on which the apportionment will be made to tho States. Complete Mortgage Statistics Washington, July 18. Superintendent Porter stated to-day that he has received returns from every supervisor in the entire country relative to the question in regard to mortgage statistics, and he is gratihd to find that throughout the entiro country the enumerators experienced very littlo difficulty in securing the information in this line, against which there was such a protest from various financial newspapers for some time. Now the whole outlook is for a very complete and satisfactory census, and in spite of the criticisms which have been heard from timo to time, there is really no reason why the department ahaulA not

congratulate itself upon the result of tho work, which was done more promptly than ever known before. . MIOR MATTERS.

In the Senate to day Mr. Dawes, from the committee on Indian affairs, to which was referred the President's message vetoing the bill , to change tho boundaries of tho Uncompahgro Indian reserv ation, reported it back without recommendation, and at the same time reported a new bill for the same purpose. A question having been asked as to the dis position to be made of the veto message. the presiding oflicer Mr. Ingallsl said that the Constitution required that the question whether the bill should pass, the objections of the President to the contrary notwith standing, should bo submitted to the Senate.

THE FORT WORTH SCANDAL Mayor Pendleton Talks About His Divorce and Ilasty Marriage to Miss Cullen. New Orleans, July 18. Mrs. W. S. Pendleton, tho bride of the Mayor of Fort ,Worth. left for that city to-day. The Mayor accompanied her to the depot and then returned to his hotel. Mr. Pendleton, in an interview, when asked why he had not carried out his inteution, as expressed yesterday, of starting for Fort Worth this morning, replied: "I received a telegram yesterday advising me not to come until matters have quieted down a little." My wife went direct to Fort Worth this morning." Mr. Pendleton was again asked for a statement concerning the episode in which his name figured so prominently. After considerable persuasion and argument he consented to make the following statement: - "Mrs. Pendleton did not know that the divorce had been obtained. I had gone away from Fort Worth, intending to remain. Atter I had been away for several months, having received continuous news of the illness of our little child, and that the mother was almost broken down in caring for it. out of sympathy I concluded to return home to see what could be done. The child was very low, and it was supposed that it could live only a short time, so to avoid notoriety I concluded to remain at home and help take care of the child. Contrary to all expectations, the child lingered and 6u tiered for several months, keeping me in constant suspense. During this time, bowever, I simply lived in the house and we slept apart alf the time. In tho meantime we. frequently talked over a separation, and when she leftfor Tennessee it was distinctly understood that we were finally separated. I agreed to furnish her means of support for herself and children till our property could be disposed of, when amplo provisions should be made for herself and children. Of course I did not intend to oflend the public by a public marriago with Miss Cullen so soon after our apparent separation. 1 intended that marriage should bo kept secret from all but the young lady and her family until the public should have become fully aware of both separation and divorce. I uover learned till my arrival in New Orleans that the fact of tho divorce was questioned. I employed and paid attorneys during my absence to procure it for me, and. while I did not myself see the record of the court, I was furnished by them with two copies in due form, attested by the clerk under tho seal of court, and have no doubt of the genuineness of the divorce. I intend, though, immediately to have tho records investigated." After the interview Mr. Pendleton laughed at the statement attributed to him that his friends in Fort Worth were annoyed that he did not take them into his confidence before getting married. "I havo many warm friends there," said he, "buffi never knew before that my confidence was so much desired." Mr. Pendleton seems to be impressed with the idea that his marriage with Miss Cullon was precipitate, but he evidently does not believe that he has been guilty of any wrong in assuming his new marital relations1 Statement of the Divorced Wife. Fout WoiiTH, Tex., July 18. Mrs. Pendleton No. 1 made a statement to-day. Sho learned of her husband's infatuation for Miss Cullen last December, shortly after his return from tho East, by finding in his pocket a will, in which ho bequeathed to Addie Cullen $7,500 of his estate. Two days later, at the muzzle of a pistol, he forced his wife to surrender the document to him. He then throw bis arms around his wife and wept like a child. Ho told her that ho no longer loved her that he loved no one. At various times he begged her to agree to a separation. She positively declined for the children's sake. He asked her to remain in Tennessee, but she declined, saying sho would return to Fort Worth when she completed her visit. It appears that Pendleton feared violence at the hands of his wife's brother. Mrs. Pendleton says while he urged her to agree to a separation he never spoke of divorce. - Mayor Pendleton's resignation was received this morning by tho City Council, and was at onco accepted. The next regular meeting of the City Council will arrange for the election of his successor. It is not believed here that Pendleton will return to Fort Worth in tho near future. Tho total amount of mortgages now on record against the Pendleton estate is $7,000. The attachments that havo been run on the estate have increased in the past few days. ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY. Engineer and Fireman on the C, J. fc M. Road Knocked Senseless by Three Men. Van Wert, O., July 18. A bold attempt at train robbery was made late to-night on the Cincinnati, Jackson & Michigan railroad. Threo . men boarded the engine of the north-bound passenger train at Enterprise, O., and attacked engineer Vandowcnder and .his hreman with hammers and coupling pins, knocking both senseless. They did not succeed in stopping the train, however, probably owing to the plucky tight made by the trainmen, and jumped off before reaching Van Wert. The engineer and firemen were both lying senseless in tho cab of the locomotive and tho train which should have stopped at Van Wert Station rushed through the yard at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Here it collided with a switch engine, and engineer Vandewender was found dead in the wreck. The fireman is still unconscious, and it cannot be learned whether tho engineer was killed by the train-robbers or met his death in the collision. None of the passengers were seriously injured. 1 I At NINE MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH. Batch of Texas Crimimals Who Will Be Hanged a if New Trials Are Not Granted. Paris, Tex., July 18.
