A FIRE AT JOHNSTOWN

ADDS TO THE SUFFERING THERE. Twenty-Flve of the Few Buildings Jfot To. tally Oemotlihrd by the Flood DTonrcd by Flame The Fourth Ward School-IIouie Barns. Johnstown, Fa., Jane 2t A fire which broke out shortly after noon to-day in the First vard consumed all but three of the buildings in the district bonnded by Market and Walnutsts. and by Main-st. and the river. Twenty-five houses were totally destroyed, including the large brick school-house. Many of the buildings destroyed had been washed from their foundations, though many of them contained household goods which had been saved from the flood. Cat a snail amount of these goods were saved. The fire is supposed to have originated from sharks flying from the burning debris in the neighborhood The Philadelphia fire company here on daty fought the flames, vhieh for a tiiue got beyond their control, and were only subdued by the tearing down of honses in their path. The loss has not yet been fixed. MAKING RAPID PROGRESS. In Clearing Awsj the Wreckage at John, town Six Bodies Fonnd. JoHNSTCwy, Jane 24. Notwithstanding that the force of workmen employed in the ruins here was reduced nearly on e-h3lf to-day a remarkable showinir was made in the way of clearing up the wreckage. One heavy blast followed another in the debris above the railroad bridge, and Manager Phillips, who has charge of the work, says he will have the place cleared up by Thursday. The various vforkinirmen's camps were thoroughly renovated to-day, in accordance with the request of Sargeon-Gen. Reed. AU the superfluous straw and garbage about the camps were burned. The workmen who will remain here were moved into the choicest quarters and early tomorrow morning the tents now occupied by the discharged men will be taken down by a quad of soldiers. This afternoon, between the hours of 2 and .3 o'clock, a charge of dynamite exploded near the second arch from the east end of the ridge. From the great body of wreckage tossed in the air pieces of human bodies flew in all directions, and the remnants afterward cathered together indicated at least six corpses Sad been blown up. They were doubtless ail close together near where the dynamite was discharged. Much of the drift which has been dislodged from the stone bridge has lodeed in various r laces extending as tar below as Cooperdale. a some places the channel of the Conemaugh river is narrowed to a few feet and turned from its channel. A force of men was pat to work this morning at removing these obstructions, which have rendered useless a great part of the work at the bridge. It is thought the stream l-elow the big drift will hereafter be kept open 60 that the debris once started down the river will pass down without interruption. HOUSES FOR THE HOMELESS. Portable Dwellings For the Flood Sufferers Twenty Bodiea Found. JOHNSTOWN, Pa,, June 22. Twenty-four of the portable houses from Chicago were assigned to the same number of the most destitute families here to-day. The houses are expected to reach here to-morrow. A car-load of stores reached here to-day from Pittsburg. They, with the other necessary furnishment, will be placed In the portable houses as they are assigned. County Treasure Ilowe today had notices posted stating that he would be here July .3 for the purpose of collecting taxes. But little of the property assessed can be found and the Hx-payers left here feel outraged at the posting of the notices, many cf which have been torn down and destroyed. The First national and the Johnstown savings bank resumed business to-day. Twenty bodies were recovered to-day. JOHNSlotvx, June 23. There was no trouble airone the workmen here in any way to-day, and there eeerr.s to be a general belief that the authorities have won the contest and are masters of the situation. All the saloons in the 5 lace were closed to-day by order of Gen. Iatings and there was little or no disorder. Thirty-two bodies were taken from the wreckage to-day, the largest nunber found for several days. Six of those recovered beloneed to one family and were found in one foundation rear their former home. Besides the bodies, several parts of human bodies were found. Owin? to the fact that many bodies recovered to-day were found in cellars, Gen. Hastings has arranged with Contractor Suppe, a resident here, to put a force cf men to work in looking after the cellars of the city. JonNSTO--N, Pa., June 23. Col. Spangler, in charge of the commissary department, to-day presented his weekly report to Adjt-Gen Ilastines. The report show 25,(00 people still being daily fed here by the state, a reduction in the number of S.5C0 during the week. Jlr. Spangler recommends the relief money Le turned over to the citizens, and that necessary supplies be purchased from sixteen general stores and three bakeries now running here. The report sucsests that one-third of the present commissaries be abolished Wednesday next. The town clerk of Cambria borough has just completed a li?t showing in that place alone 325 honses have been entirely swept away; not even a trace of them can be found. The bodies of two women, a child and a Chinaman were found to-day. Ten Thoannd Were Lost. Johnstown, Pa., June 22. All the local physicians met accidentally at the Bedford-st hospital last night. They represented all parts cf the stricken city, and after discussing the calamity, a 1 joined in the conclusion that not a soul leM than 10,009 people were lost in the flood. Oa account of the general knowledge of the people possessed by the physicians the estimate is looked upon as rtliabie. THE PENTECOST BAND. Five Alleged Mormon Missionaries Ronghl Handled by a Mob. TCSCOLA, TIL, June 24. About two weeks go a peculiar religious band of preschen, oalliug themselves the Pentecost band, supposed tobe mormon missionaries, were driven out of Pinesboro and their meetings broken up.

TRIED TO BURN THE TOWN.

Flrf Fiends at Work in Varconver, W. T. Four Itloeks Destroyed. rOETLASn, Ore., June 22. Fire broke out this morning in Vancouver, W. Tn and in lesi than two hours swept over nearly four blocks in the business portion of the town. These blocks, fortunately, were covered with small frame buildings and the loss will probably not reach $70,000. The insurance is very licht. During the night there were two fires, both undoubtedly of incendiary origin. EArly ia the evening an old catholic church, in the suburbs of the town, was discovered in flames. There was every indication that the building had been set on fire. After the firemen and citizens had returned home another fire was discovered in an old building in another part of the town about 2 o'clock in the morning. The third fire was discovered in the rear of a bakery. The wind spring up, and before the Haines could be brought under control, they had devoured everything on fo ur blocks. While the rire wan at its hight. Mayor Brown or Vancouver telegraphed to Portland for aid, saying the town was burning up. An engine was sent with all possible haste, but the lire was subdued before Assistance arrived. About thirty buildings in all were destroyed. No one was injured. During the tire the city jail was burned and two prisoners were removed with great ditliculty. So great was the panic during the time the flames were mging a cn-at many persons blocks away moved their goods and personal eilectj into the streets. Many wild rumors were circulated during the ere about men being caught cutting hose, but the' stories proved unfounded. The losses fell mostly upon the poorer shopkeepers, a number of whom lost their aJL There will be some suffering, but outside help will hardly bo required. The origin of the fires will be rigidly investigated, and if caught the incendiaries will be dealt with summarily. INDIANA'S CREDIT WAY UP. Andltor Carr Telia How the School Fund Loan Was Placed. Auditor Bruce Carr has returned from New York, where he and Treasurer Lemcke have been peddling the new school fund bonds the past week. "We have succeeded in peddling $2,850,000 of bonds," said Mr. Carr, "and are almost assured that the whole will be taken in about two weeks. We placed our figure and do not propose to sell the bonds for any less than the stated sum, as the state's credit is of the best, and we do not wish in any way to injure the good name she has now. We could have no trouble whatever at placing the bonds at par, but we preferred to wait until money was a little freer. The savings banks are, many of tbem, a little hard up for surplus cash, but will have plenty in a short time. I have just received a telegram from Capt Lemcke statin; he was negotiating with two gentlemen and hopes to place a good sum with them. It is true that Moller & Co. did all in their power to injure us. we hearing of them three or four times each day, still all their talking did little harm, and in some cases even bettered our chances. The money already out is about 72 per cent, of the whole and if the remainder is not placed an apportionment to the counties will be made on this basis." MAD AT FORT WAYNE. The New Postmaster Biggins Denounced by Grand Army Meu. Fort Wayne. June 15. Special. The news of the appointment of C. R. Iliggins as postmaster at Fort Wayne, while it appears to give general satisfaction, is regarded by the G. A. R. men as a djrejrj; jlapJPrxsidwaiJIaxrison in the face of the old soldiers. One prominent G. A. R. man openly declared to Tue Sentinel representative that he should never vote another republican ticket, and that many old soldiers had so expressed themselves to him. It appeared, he said, that after all the protestations made by Gen. Harrison in public speeches and private utterances, the weltare of the old soldiers was not to be considered, or if considered, was made subject to schemes to advance the president's selfish interests. A defeated candidate who stood hisrh in G. A. R. circles, declared that "the nomination of Mr. Htegins was dictated by the Gresham element in the party. They were the men that Harrison's true friends had always fought. However, the president had made his own bed, and lie hoped he would fiad it a comfortable one to lie in." CYCLONE IN MISSOURI. A Village Wiped Out of Existence Several Pernoni Killed. ALBANY, Mo., June 21. At 2:30 yesterday afternoon this vicinity was visited by two cyclones, or one in two prongs. It struck the frame residence of II. P. Williams, three miles eait of this city and completely demolished iL Mr. Williams' nine-year-old son and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Crispin, were instantly killed. Mrs. Williams was fatüly injured and three children were badly hurt. The cyclone wiped out the little villace of Lone Star, destroying the store-house and goods of A- C. Townsend. the baptist church, schoolhouse and many residences. Mr. Townsend, the postmaster, is thought to be fatally injured, as is also Mrs. George Stineman. Many other farm-houses and out-buildings were destroyed, and it is impossible to estimate the damages. At a citizens' meeting here to-day several hundred dollars was raised and clothing for the sunerers provided. SUSAN LANTZER'S STRANGE DEATH.

A horrible case of child murder and suicide occurred here at an early hour this morning or late last nighL Mr. O. B. Beckham went to Hutchinson yesterday on business and returning late in the evening, he retired without disturbing his wife, whom he supposed had retired, and who had oa former occasions asked him not to disturb her when he came home late.

Nixon met Miss Weiler on the highway, and without any words made an assault upon her, tearing her clothes off her back and beating her into insensibility. Searching parties were immediately orzanized, but have been unable to find the scoundrel. Betrayed bj Their Friend. Indianapolis World colored oran. It seems that Mr. Wallace was not so scrupulous about the civil servico law when it affected the appointment of a white man as he was when a colored man applied for a position. Soon after Mr. Wallace was appointed, he announced that the colored people would receive just treatment at his band. " We supposed he meant it. After much waiting a few colored men were appointed as spittoon cleaners, and we were told thst that was all that could be done "at the present," as the civil service law tied his hands. Meanwhile he went rieht on appointing white men here and there, all in spite of the civil service laws. Investigation proves that some of them were not appointed because of their high mornl character. Billy Patterson, Marshall Woods, Win. Tousey, Jas. Wheat, CharleH Moore and a number of others easily got around the civil service law. Colored men have less confidence in and respect for Mr. Wallace than they once had. They feel, and justly, that they have been betrayed by their friend (?) Civil service, be gum! "Wagner or Pullman. Minneapolis Tribune.

A Pan-EInndle Wreck Causes the Death of Three Men. Steubetviixe, O., June 19. The second section of mail train No. 7, west-bound, on the Pan-Handle railway, wai wrecked yesterday afternoon while passing New Cumberland Junction, two miles east of Steuben ville. Two persons were killed outright and eight injured, four of them seriously. The names are: KilledJ. II. PAYNE, postal clerk. IL IL REINHARDT, postal clerk. Lrakemax McFabland, seriously injured. CONDCCTOIt BCRRIS. Postal Clerk W. S. Boltojt. Postal Clerk J. E. Matthews. The accident was caused by the third car from the engine leaving the track. I was followed by two others, all going over an embank menL The train consisted of an engine, express car and four postal cars, and was running about forty-üve miles an hour. Besides the regular train crew, there were fifteen postal cleika on the train. The cause was a broken rail. Surgeons were sent promptly from Steubenville and the injured removed to this city, where they were given the best of attention. The accident happened about 2:39 this afternoon. Payne lived at Indianapolis, Ileinhart at Lfiingham, 111; Bolton at Newark, O; McFarland at Mansfield, Pa., and Burris at Columbus, O. Bolton and Burris are in a serious condition. Payne and Matthews were veil known in Indianapolis. Mr. Payne resided at 125 E. Northst., and leaves a widow and two children a son, aged twenty-one, and a daughter, aged seventeen. Mr. Payne is spoken of in the highest terms by all who knew him. He was a democrat, and expected to be diicharged from the service at any moment. His life was insured for $5,000, J.1,000 each in the chosen friends and Accident assurance and 2,000 in the knights of honor. Mr. Matthews lives on N. lllinois-st Mrs. j Matthews was at the station last night, but leameq mat toe tram wouia not re in tui o o'clock this morning.

The following will appear in the Jarmers' Jleviev, Juno 26: The reports of onr crop correspondents indicate that whatever else may prove a failure, oats wil be a good crop. The present prospect is the best in years, at a corresponding season, except in Kentucky and Dakota, when tue spring drought was most severe and prolonged; but even in those states, if wet weather continues, there is time to recover from the efiect cf unfavorable conditions earlier in the season. The cool, damp weather which has been so propitious for oata has been discouraging to corn. Although averages are hieb in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota, in other states vtrospects are less favorable than a week ago. iports from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, where heavy frosts have been experienced, are very low. The condition of spring wheat has improved in Iowa, but in all other states covered by our report it has declined during the past ten days. Telegraphio reports announce, however, that late heavy rains in Minnesota and Dakota have greatly benefited wheat, and our next report will probably be more encouraging. Among the causes of the lower averages reported in Illinois and Indiana may be mentioned the "new inseet." first "aard in the frFttTfitnT'Iteriew, as the rraia plant louse (siphonaphona gran aria or aveu), which is preying upon wheat and oats in many parts of those states. Complaints of damages from cutworms are also common, and a correspondent, resident of Loss, Ind., reports the total destruction of a thirty-acre field of rye by army worms. Everything possible is being done to prevent the onward march of the worms. Another cause of damage is high water on bottom lands seeded to corn and spring wheat. We summarize the reports of our correspondents relative to the condition of grain crops as compared with an average as follows: Illinois, spring wheat, 93 per cenL; corn. So; oats, 90. Indiana, corn, SO; oats, 93. Ohio, corn, SI ; oats, 90. Kentucky, corn, 9ö: oats, 77. Missouri, corn, 9ft; oats, 100. Kansas, corn, 102; oats, 119. Nebraska, spring wheat, 94; corn, 100; oats, 92.

VrNETARD Haven, Mass., June 21 For several days past there have been evidences of some ocean disaster in the washing ashore on these islands of wreckage. To-day a bundle of a woman's clothing, evidently done op in great haste, was picked up on the beach at Edgartown. Considerable wreckage painted green and slate color is coming ashore on the island. Among that found at Smith's Point to-day were f'ilt moldings in considerable quantities, one arge door with three ground glass circular top lichts, one window sash, evidently belonging to some steamer, and also steamer Victoria bills of lading. Wine cards of the steamship Ilaytien Ilepublio were washed ashore at Nantucket to-day. A mast, about two feet in diameter, 6quare rigged, with wire rigtring, was also found with the wreckage at that point. Everythins points to a collision between the Victoria and the Ilaytien republic, though the life preservers belonging to the City of Rome add to the mystery enveloping the supposed disaster. STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY. The Wife of Ex-President ITayes Unconscious and Probably Dying. Cleveland, On June 21. Mra. nayes, the wife of ex-President Hayes, was stricken with apoplexy this afternoon at her home in Fremont, and at 9 o'clock this evening she was unconscious. The attack came between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon while Mrs. Hayes was sitting in her room sewing. Paralysis of the rieht side resulted, rendering her speechless. Medical aid was at once summoned, but all efforts to restore the ladv to consciousness have thus far failed. Gen. Hayes was on his way home from Columbus at the time, and it was 5 o'clock when he arrived in Fremont, Mrs. Hayes' sons, Burchard and Webb, have hten summoned from Toledo and Cleveland, their respective homes. A Land Commissioner Removed. Topeka, Kas., June 24. John M. Galloway, the U. 8. land commissioner at Guthrie, Oklahoma, was removed from his position today by U. S. Judge Foster.

RAN AWAY FROM MEM ALL

SPOKANE WINS THE AMERICAN DERBY Noah Armstrong's Montana Wonder, the Illinois Outcast, the Winner of a Triple Cvent Forty Thonsana People Witness the Great Eace. Chicago, June 21 The "medicine man" of the Flathead tribe f Indians leaves his tepee every morning as the sun throws its first ray against the side of the Rocky mountains, and in the crevices about the base of the big hills seeks and gathers a small, wild flower from whose petals issue a rare fragrance. The plant is taken back into camp and dried, and from its leaves is brewed a tea that is regarded infallible in conquering all ills that attack the redskins or their ponies. From its constant use the Flatheads have become famous as examples of manly strength and health, and their ponies are the fleetest and stoutest Noah Armstrong's horse farm lies in the Rocky mountain divide, between the Colombia and Missouri rivers in Montana, elose to the Indian reservation. Two years ago Armstrong purchased at 4The Meadows," near Cariinville, 111., a yearling thoroughbred, by Hyder Ali, f'Ut of Interpose. When Gen. Rowett saw the ntwly foaled colt he declared the youngster must be shot He was so puny and out of proportion that it would not pay to raise him, so the general said. However, when Mr. Armstrong priced this weakling among other racers, its owner thought himself well rid of a cast-off for $230. Armstrong shipped the colt to his Montana farm. The raw-boned brute sniffed the air of the Rockies and was fed the wild flower of the Indians. He grew big and lusty, his sides expanded, his firabs" became rock-strong, and turning into bis third year the Illinois out-cast was a thing of equine beauty. He was named Spokane, and without dreaming of turf honors, modest Armstrong entered his horse in several stake events. This spring fpokauc was shipped to Kentucky, and while the southerners marveled at his siuht, their money was intrusted to their own Proctor Knott, whose fame was greaL But Spokane defeated the irfol in the classic derby. A weak afterward the pair again met in the Clarke stakes, and again Spokane's chances were scoüed at Butthe great futurity winner once more fell before the despised .Montana entry. To-day at Washington park the rivals for the third time faced the flag together, and with them journeyed five other tieet racers, the very cream of 147 horses originally nominated for the greatest three-year-old prize, the American derby. To no avail was the blue grass of Kentucky, on which Proctor Knott,Long Dance and Retrieve fed; to no purpose had Once Again been carefully nourished on famous Tennessee bran; impure must have been the air in California's glorious climate for Don Jose and Sorrento, for Spokane, cast from the prairies of Illinois and nursed to life by the dew of the Rock ies end the little wild flower of the Flathead "medicino man," raced away from them all and became at once an equine marvel, winner of a triple event. Forty thousand people shouted in appreciation of the performance, and nearly J1.000,000 changed hands on t je result The race was an exciting one becanse the tremendous crowd made it so. The great show was made in the preliminary parade in which each of the contestants looked fit to compete for the valuable steaks. Sorrento was first on the track with Tarral in the saddle. Then Proctor Knott with Fitzpatrick appeared and traa followed by Long Dance with Barnes, Don Jose with Mitchell, Retrieve with I. Lewis, and Once Aeain with Murphy. Last came Spokane whom Tom Kiley allowed to lope past the cheering crowd to the post. During three breakaways Proctor Knott broke away in front each time, plainly showing Bryant's disappointment was to be the pace-mater. When the flag fell for the derby race, OnceAgaiu was in front, followed by borrento, Don Jose, Proctor Knott, Long Dance, Retrieve and J-pokane in the order named. The "Dare Devil" immediately plied the whip and Knott shot ahead like a Hash, Once Again being taken back by Murphy. The pace was fairly fast and all seemed content with their positions, which down the 6tretch and past the stand were not changed, except that for a moment Don Jose made a spurt. There Knott had an advantage of two lengths over the others, who were well bunched with Spokane bringing up the rear under Kiley's strong pull. Past the club-house, with its wealth of fashion, Knott lost some of his lead, and as the seven horse, raced past the three-quarter pole, Sorrento was one and one-half lengths behind the leader and one-third that distance better than Don Jose. Then, as Fitrpatrick let out a link, all moved up, and the pace became desperate. When the half-mile mark fell behind the racers there was just daylight between him and Retrieve, who had come up in the rush, while Don Jose was still third and Spokane fourth, Long Dance and Once Again being practically out of the chase. Sorrento, who bad been running easily in second place all along, w&s cut oü on the great turn, and, while making for the stretch, was actually lasL Then Taral pulled the Callifornian to the outside, and, making up for lost time, flew to the leaders so rapidly that his backers trembled with joy. As the home stretch was touched he was second again to Proctor Knott,bnt there the futurity winner gave out, and there Spokane made his run. So fast did the Montana colt come that rushing past the last quarter he was actually leading, while Knott had already fallen into third place. Retrieve divided the pair. Again Sorrento advanced gamely, but thou eh stronger than those behind, could not disturb Spokane, who came away under Kiley's upraised hand, but without tasting whip or 6pur, and won very easily by a full length. Sorrento was second, a head before Retrieve, third, followed by Don Jose, Long Dance, Ouce Again and Proctor KnotL The latter, cut up and very tired, stopped at the saddling paddock and was taken to his stable, while the crowds hurrahed and the band played as a saddle of roses was being placed upon the winner's haunches. So much money came down from the Northwest that Spokatie went to the post a heavy favorite at six to five. The closing odds for Knott were two to one, Don Jose four to one, Once Again six to one, Sorrento eight to one, Lone Distance and Retrieve thirty to one each. When Spokane reached his stall he was almost mobbed by the Montana stable's frenzied attendants, who clung about his neck and would not allow him to rest until the trainer, Rodegap had shonted himself hoarse. He was rubbed down and lightly fed, and as the suu went down the stable boys gathered under his shed and told of the great horse's prowess. A lusty darky placed a big pot on the fire and filled it with small white leaves taken from a bag. It was the ''medicine man's" life-giver, and it was being prepared for Spokane's next meal. Shortly a tali, red-faced man, with a brown beard and hands thrust clumsily in his trowsers pockets, sauntered along the stable path. It was Sam Bryart on his way to his own stalls. As he passed the Montana stables he was attracted by the laughter and loud talk, and turning in that direction, saw the big darky stirring the steaming mass in a pot, his mouth stretched in a broad grin. As he stirred and added the white leaves, he sang, the only intelligible words being '"Spoke, my spoke." Sam Bryant sighed, a tear glistened in his eye, and he continued his way to join Proctor KnotL A Good Work, Logansport Tharos. TnE Sentinel is doing good work in behalf of the Clay county miners.

SUFFERING IN ILLINOIS.

Tha Locked-Oat Miners of Braid wood and Straifttor Staxvinir. CHICAGO, June 22. A morning paper reports the results of a tour of investigation into the condition of the mining people in the coal mining towns of BraiJwood and Streator, BI. It aays: "The condition of Braidwood is one to call forth the comisseration and the immediate practical help of the people of the United States. The normal population of the town is about five thousand, all directly dependent npon the coal mining industry for their daily bread. At this time not one ounce of coal is being mined, and the inhabitants are at the point of starvation. Men, women and children alike share in the blight which has overcast this section. The fauses of the stagnation are two the continaed depression in the coal industry here and the culminating strike, or loek-out which has E laced 1,500 bread-winnert beyond the possiility of utilizing their labor." The reporter found that most of thesinrie men and some of the married men had left the town in search of work. He discovered many families with six, eitrht or ten children, without a morsel ot food in the house. Some who have gardens are living on potatoes and lettuce. Many have not tasted meat this year. Food supplies in small amounts have been sent them, but they are totally inadequate to the necessities of the cae. The article says: "There is a pressing and immediate necessity for relief for these poor people. Not less than 3,000 women and children are in absolute want of food, and relief can not be too quickly sent them. At Streator, about two thousand five hundred miners have been idle for seven weeks, resisting a proposed r. duction of 10 cents per ton in the price of mining. To date about 800 applications for relief have been received. The relief committee states that many families are living on bread and water, and that there arc about 300 applications for help that they have failed thus far to relieve on account of lack of lands."

PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.

SERIOUS LOSS OF LIFE IN BOSTON. A Four-Story Bolldlna- Occupied ate TV. works Establishment Barns Three Dead Bodies Taken From the Kalos Several Injured. BOSTON, June 21. A disastrous fire, accompanied by serious loss of life, occurred early this evening in the fire-works establishment of Heyer Bros., at Summer and Hawley-eta. Three dead bodies have been taken from the ruins and three others received injuries which will probably result fatally. It is feared tha there may be more victims among the debris. The building, which is a four-story brick structure, is occupied on the ground floor by C. E. Browing, milliner, and on the three upper floors by Heyer Bros., dealers in fancy goods and fireworks. Shortly after 5 o'clock, wliile a salesman was waiting on a customer, he saw a flash among some fireworks behind one of the counters, unaccompanied, however, by any explosion. He ran for water, at the same time giving the alarm. The flames shot np with almost incredible rapidity, cutting off the escape) of several of the men on the upper stories, and in five minutes the dense smoke, and almost incessant discharge of fireworks of different kinds made the building a perfect pandemonium for those confined within its walls. Edward Ileyer, one of the firm, ran to tha stairs, shouting fire. He then turned rmck to lock the Siife, but found the way choked with smoke. He groped his way to the window, and managed to climb to an adjoining building unhurt Albert Gage, aged twenty, who was employed in the third story, hung from a window until h was obliged to reJease his hold, then fell to the ground, striking two awnings in his descent breaking his back. He will probably die. Charles F. Calahan and Thomas Paine, who were working en the fourth floor, jumped from a window ia their fright. Paine wa küled, while Callahan's injuries are fatal. William BrenenstuhL on the second floor, lost his way and rolled down the stairs, and was picked up, badly injured. He is also burned internally by smoke, and it is feared he can not live. A body which was taken from the building was recognized as Samuel Cord, one of the oldest employes of the firm. Another body, that of a boy, was taken to the morgue, where it has not yet been identified. It is charred and burned so badly that identification will be difficult This completes tha casualties so far as known at present A large portion of the one-hundrea-thousand-dollar stock is mined, but is well insured. During the fire the discharge of fire-worka sounded as if a hard-fought battle was in progress, and for nearly two hours was heard the rattle of small musketry, interspersed at frequent intervals with the heavier reports of tha larger pieces, while sparks and an occasional rocket would shoot from the windows. The explosions created great consternation among the spectators. The cause of the fire is a mystery. PROMINENT FARMERS KILLED. They Step Into s n7B Daring- Stu er and Lightning Strikes Them.
