of smoke arid lire down the rear fire Among those- on the eighth floor who jumped an ! were killed wore II. A. Sparrow, an expert electrical contractor, anJ (.'harks K. Fpurrow. his nephew and asi--ar.t. A colored scrubwoman also jumped from this Üoor an i was crushed in the street. It was exactly 1):- o'clock this morning vhui Howard F. Street, a young man employed by Hunt. Wilkinson A: Co.. 'bterved Harras sh'.otin;: up the elevator 5 haft fron the basement. He was on the fricorul floor, and immediately gve the alarm to the other employed. He than listened to the street to notify a polioman. In the meantime the employ..- T the electrical bureau at the City Hall, two blocks away, saw .smoke i.-uii .g Horn th.e building and transmitted an alarm to the lire department. When the erg. res arlived the flam.-s had enveloped the building from toy to bottom, and the ir.tfr.se heat from thLs mass of flames made it almost impossible: for the liremen to get within close range of the see-thing furnace. Ignoring the Harnes for the time b. big. the brave fire lighters devoted tin ir whole attention to the work ef rseue. As some cf them stood within the scorching heat of the Are with nets outspread to receive those who leaped from the Udlding their comrades played lines of hose upon them. When their work in this rt.-;ect was ended many of the Urea-en were completely exhausted. LEAPED TO THE STREET. Most of the fatalities occurred in the icar of the building. As if by common impulse, the majority of the employes attempted to reach places of safety by means of the Are escape ort the Commercestreet end of the structure. Many of them, rendered practically insane by fright, leaped to the ground, and others, becoming unconscious from the smoke and intense heat, fell to the puvemcr.t. When the firemen arrived Commerce street was filled with these unfortunate victim?, and for the space of an hour the police and hospital service was taxed to Its utmost rapacity. For an hour the roaring flames threatened the life of e very one who was compelled to work lighting the lire or protecting the surrounding property, and every minute of tin? time threatened many otner thousands of dollars' worth of property on all sides of the principal building, ia which the blaze started. It looked for a time as If the ntire bio k would become prey to the flames, but the falling of th.e walls of the burning building prevented the spread of the lire. Adjoining the Hunt, Wilkinson V: Co. building is an eight-story structure rearing completion. When the walls of the blazing establishment collapsed the liremen secured a better opportunity of playing upon the adjoining busijirss houses and thus prevented the flames liorn attacking surrounding property. By noon the lire was under controt, and nt - o'clock this afternoon a forte of men ordered by the Department of Public Safety began the work of clearing away the debris for the purpose of recovering the bodies of the victims buried in the ruins. Small buildings in the rear of the furni ture building, anil also to the west of the burned area, were crushed by falling walls The front of the stores un the south side of Market street, opposite the tire, were all more or less damaged by the heat. Great tongues of flame, swept along by the north west wind, shot across the broad thorough 1 ire. and for a time it looked as if the lire would spread to those buildings. The loss to-night is estimated at half a million dollars, most of which falls, on Hunt. Winkinson Co., whose loss is estimated at jLj.oeü. Henry C. Lea's loss on the building is about JIjCV-M). William F. Potts i: Son suffered a loss of XUx, while ether occupants of the Potts building and surrounding property owners suffered losses aggregating f-,wu Other Fire. CHICAGO. Oet. 25.

FORI' WAVNE, ind., Oct. S.-iIuch of to-day's session in the Dunn murder trial was occupied by witnesses for the state who had participated in the search for Alice Cothrell, the murdered girl. The principal witness this afternoon was George Warcup, who assisted Noonan and Rallou. the Hi.r tertown regulators, to force Dunn to consent to the search of his cistern, lie said that when Dunn objected to any further search of his cistern on that Sunday afternoon he (witness) told him (Dunn) they had come to examine it and would do so whether Dunn was willing or not. Warcup's evidence tended to show that Dunn was reluctant to have the cistern searched, but he always gave as a reason that he had himself searched the cistern and owing to the disturbed condition of his wife's mind he did not want her subjected to such excitement. The evidence of several other witnesses this afternoon established the fact also that Dunn constantly discouraged further search, saying he believed that Alice had run away, as he said she had often threatened to do when she was punished. James Noonan and James E. Bailou, officers of the "Regulators," the first of today's witnesses, told the story of the Sunday afternoon on which the body was found. Roth are farmers of high repute and undisputcel integrity, and they gave similar accounts of the occurrence, even to the repeating of conversations verbatim. They declared tha they went as neighbors and not as "Regulators." They headed a party of forty-live men. who arrived at Dunn's home about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, determined to search Dunn's premises. Dunn met them at the gate, and Noonan asked him 'f he would allow him to search the house and cistern. He said: "There are a lot of people here who believe Alice is in your cistern." Dunn said that he had searched all about his place, and that the girl was not there; tnat the proposed search would injure his wife, whose condition of mind was very bad. Noonan re-plied that they proposed to make the search, ami Dallou said: "Yes, sir; we ve not found her eisewnere and have come to headquarters." Dunn said there had been enough search and Dallou replied: "Never, until she is found." After fifteen minutes of parleying Dunn consented that Noonan and Pallou should po in. On the way to the house he hesitated and finally stopped. Noonan declared that he must come on. and Dunn then advanced and admitted the mn to the house. He told them he had not searched in his cistern. Mrs. Cothrell testified yesterday that he had told her he had searched it. Once in the house Dunn took the initiative and procured a stick, and afterward a rake, which was spliced to the stick with twine. When the girl was pulled from the bottom of the cistern Dunn exclaimed: "My God! We have been using this water right along for drinking purposes." Noonan testitied that fifteen minutes later he got a drink of well water which Dunn had brought from a neighbor's house. It stood on the sink at the time. The girl s body was taken out of the cistern head first and carried to the rear. The head was elevated and sha was laid on her back. Dunn told the men that "the people must think he was a heathen," and that be "was as pood as any of the trash that was searching for her." Marie Sarnpleson. the domestic on whom the defense will try to fix the crime, was in the kitchen when the body was recovered, but made no remark or movement during the search. When the little girl waä brought out. Mrs. Dunn, another person whom the defense expects to show might have killed the child, ran out weeping and calling "Dear Alice," telling howmuch she loved her. The body was taken at once to the Cothrell home and the coroner was called. The statement made by Mrs. Cothrell that Aliee had eaten dinner before her disappearance will help to show approximatelv the time of her death when the medical experts testify as to the condition of the stomach's contents. The State's witnesses thus far have done much to prove public knowledge of the whereabouts of Dunn on the fatal Tuesday, and the testimony to-tlay tended to strengthen the impression favorable to Dunn at the close of yesterday's evidence. MATTOX Mlltnnit TIIIAL. Defence SeelvH to l'rove A'Ietim WoiiimIm ot ecesarily Fatal. t-'pecial to th Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Oct. 23. The defense in the trial of Alonzo Mattox for the murder of "Ted" Britton at Alum Cave has begun with its testimony. The defense is seeking to prove that Rritton was the aggressor in the affray in which he was cut by Mattox, but more emphatically that Britton's Injuries were not necessarily fatal. When the physicians testified for the State tiie defense asked if the wounds were such as could not have been successfully treated. The State objected to this testimony but the court admitted It. In the course of such cross-examination it was I brought out that although Britton was cut at S o'clock in the evening he did not have medical treatment until 2 o'clock in the night. Another physician who attended him at r.oon the next day said that had the severed artery in the arm been tied when treated at 2 o'clock he would have lived, but that when he tied the artery at noon the next day Britton had lost so much blood there was little hope of saving hi3 life. He died that evening. This physician also testified that he met Mattox that day and told him that Britton would die and that Mattox said he had sent for another physician. A constable testified that he tried to persuade Mattox to give him his weapons some hours after the tragedy, but that Mattox refused. In sustaining an objection made by the State to a ejuestion put to a witness for the defense in the trial of Mattox, Judge Piety made the remark in the presence of the jury that Mattox could go on the stand himself and testify to the fact. The dejlense immediately asked to have the jury discharged and a new one empaneled. Judge White overruled the motion and the defense took an exception which, it is thought, will insure a new trial should Mattox be found guilty. 1IOT1I SO.XS (iOMl.

Coroner Mershon fixes the blame for the death of Sherman Woods on Otis Melton and Burl Kre.-s, whom he charges with selling the victim liquor, "which made him so drunk that after he was put on his horse he fell to the ground, killing himself." The coroner says in his verdict that these two nen, the former a bartender for Dick Kress and the latter a brother, are "entitled to receive the mo.it severe censure" for their action. This tragedy has aroused a storm of ind'nation against the saloon keepers for their open violation of the law, and against the oiiicials who prosecute for petty drunks and let die arch violators go.

So many young men of Philadelphia have published books of late that Chestnut street on bright afternoons may without hyperbole be said to be thronged with authors. In their costume these authors are alike in an addiction to the Windsor, or ireciy-iiowlng bow cravat, but In other details they are quite dissimilar. The great est of them, for instance, has been wearing this month a pale, decadent sack coat. gold-colored half shoes, crimson hose, a cloud-cray yachting can and blue eoircles. The second trrtatest Is wearing an immense brown hat of felt with a leather strap around it by way or hatband, and is car rying an archaic and distinguished cane of clouded amber. Most of the other authors (and the most of minor poets follows tnem) go garbed in black not dull black. but the shining black of broadcloth, a fab ric that they are trying to make fashion,ao!e in literary circles. All the crew was shocked the other day to perceive that one of their number was beginning to raise a mustache. A mustache is, of course, a sign oi the bourgeois, the Philistine. This mus tache-raising person said in reply to his friends' taunts: "Don't you know my photograpn is in a lot or cnestnut-street win dows, and in the photograph I have a mustache? Well, I must conform to the ohotcgraph, mustn't I? 1 must be recognized upon the street. Thedloj- and His Gramlmother. Philadelphia Record.

WHAT THE BIG STEEL TRUST IS. Comparison AVhfch Help the Public to Ilcnllze Ks Scope. It. S. Baker, in McClure's Magazine. The capitol of the United States Steel Corporation is in New York, Just below Trinity Church, and convenient to the head of "Wall street. It is a precipitous building, twenty-one stories high, called the The Empire. Around a corner and one short block away is the office of J. Pierpont Morgan, to whom of a bright morning comes President Charles M. Schwab, of the steel corporation, walking down from hl3 capitol a plain, sturdy rnan, In a worn sack coat and black derby hat. A stone's throw below The Empire, toward the Battery, rises that other capitol of industry where the inscrutable Mr. Rockefeller directs the colossal business of the Standard Oil Company. The two capitols are connected by an invisible but by no means tenuous web, spun in the pattern variously known as 'community of Interest," "combination," "community of control." President Schwab occupies an office on the eighteenth floor of The Empire, where he can look out over the smoky top of West New York, across the Hudson and far into New Jersey. On the floor below him are the ollices of ex-Judge E. II. Gary, chairman of the executive committee, and around about them are the vice president, the general council, the secretary, the treasurer, the members of the executive committee, which may be called the president's cabinet, and the rooms of the board of directors, which is the corporation's congress. Here also are grouped the headquarters of several of the subsidiary corporations the Carnegie Steel Company, the Federal St. el Company, the American Steel arid Wire Company and others, once regarded as giants of Industry, but now e ishrdov.ed by the new power. Several of the greatest rivals of the corporation, as If to flight at close quarters, occupy ollices on other floors of 'lie same bullclit g.

S0Z0D0NT for the TEETH 253 "trust," and of its component corporations, even to the extent of furnishing statistics relative to certain branches of their business. It Is difllcult to convey any adequate idea of the magnitude of the steel corporation. A mere list of the properties owned or controlled would 11 1 1 an entire number of this magazine. It reeeives cr.d expends more money every year than any but the very greatest of the world's national governments; its debt is larger than that ot many of the lesser nations of Europe; it absolutely controls the destinies of a iopulatlon nearly as large as that of Maryland or Nebraska, and Indirectly influences twice that number. Its possessions are scattered over half a dozen States, from Minnesota to New York and Massachusetts, with Its chief interests centering at Pittsburg. Chicago ajid Duluth, and the whole controlled from New York city. It owns or controls 115 line steamships on the great lakes, and six important railroad lines and several smaller ones. In Pennsylvania its coal possessions cover over 73.'.0 acres of land worth $1.J'K) an acre, besides .' J acres of other laud and ouarries, and I.Cw) acres I of leased natural gas lands. It owns no t fewer than lS,3!rj coke ovens, being the largest coke producer In the world. Of blast furnaces it owns eighty, producing P.ihxuXkj tons of pig iron yearly, and of sted plants it owns about 150. And yet the steel corporation cannot be called a monopoly; it does not control production or prices, although Its Influence on both must be profound. In a general way the corporation may be said to own something more than two-thirds of thö steel industry in this country (in the tinplate industry a considerably larger proportion), the remainder being controlled by a number of lively rivals. Here are the comparative Hgures of steel production for lyxt. b'dng practically the same for 1'.): Produced by the United States 8teel Corporation, 7.h ,) tons; produced by Independent companies. 2,iXio tons; total for the United States, about 10.1.U. tons; totnl for Great Britain ls:y). 4,'.JJ.oio tons; total for Germany (1SM. ti,.434 tons; total for the world, including the United States (lS.tf), 2G,MS,735 tons. These figures show that the steel corporation produces more steel than either of our two greatest rivals. Great Britain and Germany, and more than a quarter of the entire production of the world. The production of the independent companies, given at ri.2nO,(v.K tons, is divided among some twenty or thirty rivals of the ?t I corporation, a few of which are powerful concerns, owning their own coal and iron mines, and therefore independent in the matter of comietitlon. A POUTIt AIT OF A IIOHSU. How Acquaintance W'nm Made? with nn Attractive Animal. From "Lady Iee." I first met her in a country lane. She was trotting toward me with all the ease and free-dorn of a young and healthy creature, while I was trudging along with all the depression of a Jaded dilettante. She stopped suddenly, and looked at me with lustrous eyes whose depths and gentleness I afterward learned to fathom. She had no fear; it was only surprise and mild curiosity. As for me well, it was a case of love at first sight. I spoke to her. and attempted to approach her. At first hh teemed disposed to rpel my advances: but presently, with ears erect, nostrils dilated and necc arched, she sufTerc-d me to come to her and stroke her. 1 recalled that Hans Christian Anderson always carried fruits and sweetmeats In his pockets for the little folks he might meet In his walks, and just then I would have given all tho loose change I had in my pocket for a single lump of suar. It pleased me, though, to see how well she liked caresses. Most horses, unfortunately, have little or no capacity for afftctior.. A dog must love, must worship some one; a horse possesses many of the qualities of an anchorite. But the trim and Jaunty filly I was then patting seemed to delight In friendship, In sympathy and love. While our very pleasant vl.it was in progress one of the participants suddenly seemed to remember somthlng just as a man ef business will sometimes start and look at his watch. She made a quick movement, arched her neck gracefully, t-wept her long tall proudly, and. with a queenly step, pranced from me in the direction lrom which she had come. 1 Ftood and watched her as she disappeared. Increasing her speed every instant, but never ones abandoning the perfect trot which seemed to be her natural heritage. On the following day I found myself again in the same lane. and. to my surprise not less than gratification. I again mtt my acquaintance of the day before. This time, fortunately, 1 had some bon bona in my pocket, the remnants of a package I had distributed among the children on the piazza of the hotel. 1 could trc at once that the little lilly was unaccustomed to rweeta, and I watched her fare w.o she tried the fir?t mouthful, it Avas ;; charming study of animal e-xir ssiori. Her eyes seemed t dilute with pl a Mire. In r nostrils expanded, her breath came ejute-k. r. and there was an eac-eriHs-- in the v.av she turned toward me that w..s more eloquent than words. Sh l;.'w thr juiee.s of the tweet crass she had o often cropp d. r.nd from which her ahui dant life came; 5h had received saeehrir ire flavors and foretastes in the i urn ar.(' oats she had conMimed; but here v. i.- sweetness in its most concentrated form.
