lb a w . K f. ! SIX FIREMEN PERISH. DOWN TO DEATH BENEATH FALLING WALLS. AMefred "Fireproof" HnlldlnffS Destroyed Three Persons Fatally Hart by Jump ing for Their Lives Big Clothing: 1 irm AVith Many Employes Born Ont A Great Panic. Great Fire in Chicago. Chicago, Not. 25. Two disastrous fires have occurred here within twenty-four hours in large buildings in the center of the business section,supposed when constructed, to have been prac tically fireproof. In the first there was a total loss of not less than $630, 000, while there were many narrow escapes. In the second the loss aggre gated at least 3350,000, while six fire men were buried under falling walls and probably killed and three other persons were probably fatally injured. The first fire started in the Excelsior building, owned by Warren Shringer, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and destroyed it and the adjoining eight story building in less than an hour. Thirteen valuable manufactur ing plants in the two buildings were destroyed and hundreds of men and women employed in the factories had narrow escapes. The second fire broke out this morn ing in the seven story terra cotta Ex change building at Nos. 276 to 278 Market street extending in an VL" to Yau Uuien street. The first and sec ond floors were occupied by Stein & Heirs, clothing; the third and fourth by Henry Newman, clothing; fifth, Amazon Clothing Company; sixth, Fallows fc Co., collars and cuffs; sev enth, Townsend & Gale, clothing and dry goods and the National Thread' Corn puny. Each of the firms employed women and as soon as the presence of the fire was made known all were thrown into a state of great excite ment. Panic reigned everywhere and before some of the girls could be re strained they had climbed out of the windows and jumped. One of the first to apjar at a thiid story window was Nellie Turner. iShe screamed for help and some one on the ground shouted for her to jump. She did not do this, nowever, but left the window. A mo ment later she appeared at another, near a fire escaoe, and climed upon the sill. She got on the fire escape and began to descend. Officer Flaherty was also on the escape between the first and second story, and when he saw the girl above him he started up to aid her. Ue was too late. She suddenly lost her balance and fell headlong to the street. Flaherty tried to catch her, but could not reach her. She was picked up almost un conscious and carried into a drug store, and stimulants were adminis tered, but she did not revive. She was internally injured and will die. Kittie Landgraf jumped from a fourth story window with Harry Neil, 17 years old, and both were internally injured and may die. The fire seemed to have broken loose on several floors of the big build ing at the same instant, so rapidly did it spread. The fire started on the fourth floor it is thought, in rooms occupied by Stein & Biers. Thirty girls were em ployed there and all made frantic efforts to escape. Among the first to come to their aid was "Joe," the jani tor. He assured the girls that if they would remain quiet and composed they would all get out safely. Ue led as many of them as he could induce to accompany him to the main stairway and tLey reached the street without injury. . The escape of Olga Kellar is re garded as marvelous. When the room where she was working began to fill with smoke she ran to one of the win dows overlooking Van Iiuren street and climbed out on the ledge, clinging with one hand to the narrow strip of wood on the outside of the sash. She saw a few feet, below her the ladder on which two firemen stood, and she pre pared to jump, but was restrained until Captain Hermanson had almost reached her. Then she released her hold on the window siding, having been overcome by the smoke. Her manson braced himself and seized the girl with his right arm. He narrowly escaped falling. From hundreds of throats cheers were heard as he de scended the ladder with hi3 human burden. The loss on the building and to the tenants is estimated at from $350,000 to 5400,000. The building was valued at 8120,000. A few minutes before 1 o'clock the second and third floors fell, carrying with them the first On the latter six members of engine company No. 2 were working. They were Captain Louis Peine, bis lieutenant and four linemen. All were buried in the de bris in the basement, where the three floors fell, and, it is believed, all were killed. DEBS FREE ONCE MORE.

The Excelsior building, at Canal and Jackson streets, and an eight story brick structure im mediately adjoining it, at 171 and 173 South canal street, were completely destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. Not less than thirteen valuable manu facturing plants located in the two buildings were lost, including the Shober-Carqueville Lithographing company, the Charles Emench Feather company and the large establishment of Strauss, Eiseudrath & Drom. The total loss is not less than $620,000. The firo was a hard one to subdue and attended with no little danger. The escape of several hundred girls from the Strauss, Eisendrath & Drom factory was made possible only by coolness and decision. A number of the girls suffered from fright and sus tained slight bruises. Before the fight with the fire was ended Fire Chief Sweeney had exhausted the regular calls for engines and had to specially summon twenty more. Shot His Father. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 2 . Brigham F.

SILVER MEN AROUSED BEING STIRRED BY CARLISLE'S SPEECH. Senator Duboise Voices Plans of the Free Coinage Men Secretary Carlisle's New York Chamber of Commerce Talk Crit icised Will Resist the Retiring: of Greenbacks and Raise the Duty on Wool. They're Full of Fight. Washington, Nov. 22. Secretary Carlisle's New York Chamber of Com merce speech has elicited responsive defiance from the silver men of the senate. They are emphatic in assert ing that the greenbacks cannot be re tired. Their program, however, goes much further than merely blocking the way to the accomplishment of the administration's plans. "We are determined," said Senator Dubois of Idaho, "to provide for the revenues by placing a duty on wool. In doing this we not only relieve the treasury, but we do an act of justice to every sheep raiser in the country and remove the cloud of bankruptcy from the great ranches of the West. .Senator Sherman will have to support the proposition, for his State is vitally concerned. This wool bill will go to the President, and, of course, he will veto it. Then the Republican Con gress, having done its duty in the premises, can afford to let him find his way out of his difficulty as best he can. lie will issue more bonds and that will revive the whole silver ques tion again. Secretary Carlisle is right when he says the question of free and unlimited coinage of silver is not dead. He will find, if he only waits long enough, that the National con vention of his own party will adopt a free coinage platform next spring. SHERMAN ON PL ATT. The Ohio Senator Talks Freely About the New York Ross. New York, Nov. 22. In an inter view here yesterday Senator Sherman talked freely about different public topics. Among other things he said: "I would like to read Mr. Plat's an swer to what I stated concerning the national convention of 1S8S," he said, in reply to a question. "The fact is, I desire to know just what his ex planation would be. It would be interesting to me. Personally, I have nothing against him, and what I stated in my book was without malice, and merely introduced ' as a matter of history. I felt that in the history I should tell things as they were, and in a dispassionate way. " The Senator stated that he had met ex-President Harrison and Warner Miller and had had pleasant chats with them. He added that Mr. Miller came to his room and they talked over many of the incidents of the convention of 186S. Mr. Miller's recollection of events tallied with the Senator's. "The New York delegation," added the Senator, "had a banquet on the Saturday before the convention of 1888, and after Senator Miller had made a speech, they all agreed to sup port me.- I received a telegram to that effect. Sunday intervened and in the meantime Elkins and other friends of Harrison got Mr. Piatt to agree to vote for him on the first bal lot Monday. The result is known. I have no charges to make' against ex President Harrison and our relations are pleasant. Whatever bargains or promises his friends might have made, he did not sanction, because he absolutely refused to appoint Mr. Piatt secretary of the treasury. Promises may have been made in regard to Federal patronage in this State and that I do not crit icise. Mr. Piatt's men, I believe, re ceived prominence, notably the col lectorship. The acme of Mr. Piatt's ambition seems to be to hold the port folio of the secretary of the treasury." INTERNAL REVENUE. The Receipts From Various Resources During: the Last Fiscal Year.

SLAIN BY THE SPANISH. Women and Infants in Arms Cruelly Put to Deaih. Z. Tampa, Fla., Nov. 22. Colonel Fer nando Figuredo, the Cuban leader of this city, has received a letter from navanah giving details of atrocities committed by Spaniards in Matanzas province. Cololel Melino, who com manded a Spanish regiment, recently encountered the advance guard of Gomez's army in Matanzas and was de feated. While soldiers under Melino were in retreat they met a group of women and children near a little town called Cayopino. As the soldiers passed one of the women made a sneer ing reraork about the Spaniards. The remark was overheard by the soldiers and so tenraged them that they fell upon the women and children and butchered every one of them. There were ten women and about a dozen children in the group. The letter says that the Spaniards, after shooting down their victims, stabbed them with bayonets, inflicting the most horrible wounds. One baby was killed at its mother's breast, and tas bullet that passed through the in fant also killed the mother. Colonel Melino made no report of the butch ery, but two of the women murdered were wives of Spaniards engaged in the sawmill business in Mantanzas. When the husbands learned how their loved ones had been butchered they wrote to Captain General Campos, in forming him of the affair and demand ing that Colonel Melino be punished. It is said that Campos has ordered that Melino be court martialed and it is thought the butcher will be sentenced to death, as the massacre is condemned as bitterly by Spaniards as by Cubans.- CHAIRMAN MAFFITT ACTS.

Washington, Nov. 21. The inter pretation of election statistics has been developed into an interesting specialty by Frederick C. Waite, a statistician expert in the Department of Agriculture, who last night read to the National Statistical Association his fourth annual paper on - the sub ject. He said: "Another tidal wave of disapproval has been recorded at the polls Of the three great parties in the field two have received a very much smaller percentage of the total vote than in former years; while the third, the stay-at-home party, has made wonderful gains. For instance, in Pennsylvania the vote of the Demo crats has fallen to 282,481 from 446,033 in 1888, that of the Republicans to 456,745 from 526,081 in l88o, while the vote of the stay-at-home party has in creased to 610.000 from only 70,000 in 1888. In estimating the total vote aliens, foreigners with first papers, criminals, paupers, etc., have been de ducted from the male taxables, 21 years or over. In New York the stay-at-home vote has increased from 75,000 in 1883 to 185,000 in 18'J2, 425,000 in 1894, and 510,000 this year. Even in Kentucky it has increased from 55,000 in 1888 to 100,000 this year. In Massachusetts it has increased from 80,000 in 1888 to 100,000 in 1892 and 230,000 this year. In Ohio from 40,000 in 1888 to 115,000 in 1892 and to 18u,000 this year. The increase in the stay-at-home vote has been scarcely less marked in other states. "As the election is the keyboard bj' which the citizens of a continent ex press and record their wishes their hopes and their discontents we must not expect to be able to comprehend the intricacy of its workings, ex cept as we analyze the returns in the light of a half century or so of election statistics. Turning to my statistical chart, -Comparing the political complexion of American elections,' you sec, that during the last twenty years, and also the twenty years ending with the breaking up of the Whig party, the Democrats car ried every alternate presidential elec tion, and yet were always defeated at the intervening presidential election. In other words, to the Democrats .1836 and 1876 brought victories at the polls; 1840 and 1880. defeats; 1844 and 1884, victories; 1848 and 1888, defeats; 1852 and 1892, victories. In explanation of these phenomena 1 may say the forces which in presidential elections result in the defeat of the party in power are two: "First The dissatisfaction with the party in power among the members of the party out of power is so great that they feel it to be their sacred duty to 'turn the rascals out.' On the other hand, the adherents of the party in power are constantly being disap pointed. They feel that they have not received anything like the care and recognition which was promised. "Second There is an inherent ebb and flow of enthusiasm among the ad herents of a political party. Natural ly the number of years from flood tide to flood tide of enthusiasm coincides with the periodicityof the cause which once in eight years' falls in with it and carries it to the maximum height, namely, storm of indignation against the high handed partisan misrule of their opponents." A Knock-Oat for Butterine. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 2 i. There will be no more Silver Churn and Jer sey butterine after the 1st of January next. A recent ruling of the Treasury department, which has just been re ceived at the packing bouses, prac tically knocks the word butterine out of the English language and de clares that any brand that suggests a cow, a churn or a dairy shall not be used on the packing house substitute for butter. Hereafter, then, the pack ing house substitute for butter must be known only as oleomargarine, its original appellation, and in Missouri, moreover, it must be white, without any kind of coloring, for the Missouri farmer attended to that in the Legis lature last winter. field Up By Female Footpads. Warrensaurg, Mo., Nov. 21. William Tracey, a farmer, of Robins, was held up in the business part of Warrensburg last night by two col ored women and relieved of 170 cash.

TOLD BY A SOCIETY GIRL. Some thins: Abont Morphine, Sulpha r. Molasses and Other Things. From the Evening News. Newark, N. J. Among the popular society leader n East Orange, N. J., Emma I Stoll, a canning young maiden, stands in the foremost rank. She is of a lovable disposition and the light of the social set in which she moves.w For two years she has been a sick girl from in ternal troubles peculiar to women, and hav ing recently recovered, has given our reporter the following interesting account: "Instead of improving under the care of my physician I became worse. For five weeks I was unable to get out of bed and about six o'clock each morning I suffered horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated from the marks of my teeth, f cr In my efforts to keep from screaming I sunk my teeth deep into my lips. At such times I rolled and tossed until the bed shook like an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious that the doctor I won't tell you his namegave me some morphine pills to take. The very thought of them now makes me shiver. These morphine pills simply put me to sleep for awhile and when I became conscious again my agony was renewed. "The pain in my stomach and back was more than I could stand. 'Your blood is poor,' said the doctor, 'take sulphur and mo lasses,' and I did until it was a great won der that I was not a molasses cake. It was time wasted in taking it because I was not benefited in the least; my suffering con tinued, but by a mighty effort after being in bed so long. I got up. Oh, but I was a sad Eight then. From 113 pounds I had fallen to ninety; my cheeks were pale and sunken and I limped ; yes. actually hobbled from the extreme pain in my side. Then I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the testimonials in the News inspired me with hope. I got the pills and took them. Before many days I began to im- Jirove and before I had finished one box I elt as if I could go out and walk for miles. I soon stopped limping and through the Pink Pills I soon bid goodbye to my head aches while the pain in my stomach and back slowly but surely succumbed to the influence of these pills that seem to be abls to persuade all pain to leave one's body. Now I am as I used to be; well and strong, lighthearted and merry but never without the pills. See I have got some of them now," and from a nearby desk she handed out one of the boxes.
