carried down ladder * or dragged out of the
corrldort , the officers nnil flrcmen going Into
the midst of the smoke and rumen. The
nro burned no fiercely by thin time that no
detailed search of the building coull be
made , and from what could be learned
thcro were many girls and women on the
three upper stories , flther lying In falntlnf
fltB or overcome by smoke. It wai thli fac' '
that ted to the rumors that there \vcro at leas
twenty women dead , and the atory. even
at this writing , dots not seem Improbable
The flames ate down through three floors
no quickly that the Western Union Tele
graph company , the Jestup & Ooopncr
Crockery company and the Van SanrH &
Jacobs Collar manufactory had no time If
nave anything. After the flro hid starlet :
an adjoining house caught from the falling
of a portion of the roof , and from It smal
buildings on the couth caught.
I'KDDLRIl PINNKD DOWN.
About 8 o'clock , the firemen heard shrieks
coming from the two story building on the
sooth. They discovered an Italian peddler
named James Hossl , who kept a stand In
front of the building , pinioned by the legs
under a heavy beam. Three policemen
started to assist him , and , with a fireman
worked for three-quarters of an hour. They
had JtiEt gotten him loose when , with a
roar , the great south walls cnmo crashing
down onJ the horrified spectators saw the
brave little group burled from view. When
the smoke- and dust had cleared there was
a rush of willing workers , and In a little
while the men were taken out. All were
Injured , and had to bo removed to the
hospital. The Italian will probably die ,
but the policemen , while badly hurt , will
recover.
Superintendent Mlllard of the police force ,
says he saw a number of girls at windows
who never came out , but fell baclt Into the
flames. One fireman , who was working
from the rear , saw three girls with their
arms wound tightly about each other , turn
In thblr frenzy and Jump back Into the
flames. Some of" the women who escaped
tell of fitumbllng over prostrate bodies and
are positive that a score of girls perished.
The girls who did escape live In various
suburbs , and hurried away , so that until
the roll Is called In the morning , the. exact
number of missing will not bo known.
Lottie * nd Nellie Hull , sisters , grasped
each other tightly by the hands and started
down the stairs from the sixth story. At
the landing of the fifth floor they encountered
a wall of sinoko and flame. Nellie had on
only her corset and sklrU , having been
making' her toilet. Lottie , who wag also
partially dressed , threw her dress over
Nellie's face and together they went through
the fUmos. Lottie's hair was burned com
pletely off and when she reached the side
walk , Nclllo was burned only about her
'bare arms. They were taken home.
The total loss by the fire Is from $250-
000 to $300,000 , with about $100.000 Insurance.
At least GOO people arc thrown out of em
ployment. The firemen working tonight ,
with the thermometer down below zero ,
suffer very much. Two coroners were sum
moned and a Jury was Impanelled to care
for the dead.
MANY MORE Ami MISSING.
TIIOY. N. Y. , Feb. 17. Superintendent of
Police Wlllard said at midnight : "The re
turns from the various precincts show that
there are at least flftwn people mls.-.Ing ,
and 'with the five already known to be mis
sing , that will make twenty lost In the
ruins.
"I am afraid there are many more , for It
necms to mo Impossible' that all the people
In that building could escape. A great
many people would not report to the police
at all. "
The roll call In the morning will evidently
show between twenty and thirty people are
underneath the ruins. Up to 1 o'clock , no
other bod'cs ' had been recovered.

man Melklejohn was a caller on State Audi
tor Eugene Moore at the capital today. Ho
leaves for Washington tomorrow. To a re
ported ho said :
"I am not a double header. I am nn
seeking the governorship for the purpose
ot higher promotion. To Iu governor Is
enough to call out the belt energies o
the best men In the ttate , and to be gover
nor of Nebraska la moro honor and morn
responsibility than that position carries In
many states of the union , because Ne
braska Is moro progressive nnd Its people
are more wide awake anJ more In touch
with the spirit ot modern progress than
many of the stales whose civilization Is
older nnd more mature.
"After consulting with seme of my friends
and deciding to become a candidate , I
thought best to cut loose from all other poilt-
Ical aspirations and to announce my can
didacy for govcinor frankly and candidly ,
so that the nomination , If It came to mo ,
would come through straightforward method !
and If elected the usefulness of
the oflicc to the people of the
state would not be ImpilreJ by any
distrust of the methods ot Its procurement.
As the people grow more Intelligent and
moro sensible to their rights as citizens , they
demand open door methods among politi
cians , as well as honesty In the fulfillment
of public trust. I mean no reflection on other
candidates , and I speak of this only to pul
myself square In this canvass , and because
I have been credited with necking ono
office as a stepping stone to another.
"I have- relinquished all claims that I
might have on any further congressional
honors , and should I fall In the present
canvass for governor , I am sure that a good
man , and a republican , will fill the place
and there will bo no sore spots on me
when the contest Is ended.
"Nebraska 1 a good state to live In as
a private citizen , and I shall always appre
ciate Its kindness to me.
"Tho complete triumph of republicanism
In the next national nnd state election will
set the public pendulum swinging swiftly
toward prosperity and peace among all the
people , and Nebraska will come In for her
full share In the'victory. . "

Receiver K. K. Hayden cf the defunct
German National bank has sent notices to
stockholders asking them to pay a C5 per
cent assessment on ( ho amount of stock held
jy them. As tlie capital stock was $100,000
Ills would amount , If paid , to $55,000. . Added
to the assets , according to the report made
) y the receiver , this would wipe out the
Ichts of the bank. The notice calls for the
laymcnt of this assessment by the Sth of
Uarch next. By this move on the part
of the receiver a startling decrease In the as
sets Is shown. At the time of the failure the
assets wore listed at $204,371. At present

SIDA/SVI a.tSk. ' Feb. 17. ( Spcc'al Tele-
gram. ) The .Dozarth murder trial opened nt
8.10 : this morning. There was a targe number
of witnesses examined by the defense , who
testified to the excellent character ot the
defendant and that during the past eight
years of his residence In Cheyenne county
he had always borne n good reputation nnd
was R quiet. Inoffensive citizen.
The defendant , Kernand W. Ilozartli , then
took the witness stand and for three hours
passed tbrcush the ordeal of a severe exam
ination , both In chief and on cross-examlna-
tlon. Ho recited In detail what led up to
the tragedy. He had hcird the threat ? made
by Fawcus 9K-.ln.it him from five different
parties and on the fatal day Mild that when
Fawcus rode 'up to him on the ditch F.twcus
hailed him with tha remark : "Now
I have got you and I am go
ing to kill you. " Doznrth got off Ills
horse and raised his doublo-birrelcd shotgun
to his shoulder and fired. This discharge
cut oft the aleevo of the deceased's coat ,
nnd Uozarth cayj that Fawcus made nn at- ,
tempi to rcacli hlo hip pocket , nnd thinking
lib life * ln danger , fired- the second shot ,
which took effect In Fawcun' back. Dozarth
then jumped on his horse , rode to his home-
saddled another lionv and rode to Sidney
and gave hmuolf up. His sister , Mrs.
Laura Wntiubaugh , wag a strong witness
for the defenses , and her testimony wns
wincwhat sensational. She claimed Fawcus
came to her house In August , 1894 , and
made an Indecent proposal to 'her which
she rosanted nnd told of to her brother. She
nald that Fawcus said : "H your brother
says anything to me about this I will blow
out what little brains the stupid brnto has. "
She says eho did not want to- tell her hus
band nhoiit ( t for fear ho might got Into
trouble , and lie compelled to leave the coun
try , and that would be to their financial
detriment. After examining a few minor
witnesses the defense rested.
Tha slate began rebuttal testimony nnd had
only examine1 ! two witnesses when court
adjourned. The state expects lo show that
Fawcus was not in the country at the time
Mrs. Walsab.iugh stys he made these threats
and will atttmpt to show by a competent civil
engineer that Dozarlh saw Fawcus comlnp
from tha r.inch nnd laid In ambush and mur
dered him as iron as he approached. Many
other Interesting matters will bo offered by
the state tomorrow , and the cis ; will probi-

HILL CITY , S , I ) , , Feb. 17. ( Special. )
Fvcryth ng In the Keystone and Hill City
mining districts of Pennlnglon county contin
ues to wear a favorable aspect. There have
been moro minim ; experts and Investors visitIng -
Ing the region during the past month than
during any similar porlod In the h utory of
this Southern Hllln. Among the number were
John Helmrlch of Hooper , Neb. , one of the
owners of the famouu Mercnr mine at Met-
cur. Utah ; I. I ) . Robinson of Atgcntlnc , Kan. ,
an expert chemist and metallurgist connected
Wth the Kansao City smelter ; William Lou
den of Omaha ; Prof. F. C. Smith ot the State
Scbcol of Mines ; Frank Lingan , representing
Onulu and Chicago capitalists ; Mr. Crocker
f Denver , a well known mining operator
who U about to spend a few thousand In
further work upon the J. R. mine , and sev
eral other men prominent In the mining cir
cles of the west ,
Mr. Helmrlch , who began mining at Hooper
In the br.ck making buslnctu and U now one
of thu Utah mineral klnga , Is Interested here
In the "Annln" property , near the J , R. , and
at Sheridan , cevcn miles cast ot Hill City , in
the Dertpchy tunnel. A mill test of Annie
ore. sixty-four toitu , from the north drift
on the eighty foot level , returned between
$7 and JS In free geld per ton. Mr. Heltn-
tlch thinks ro well of the property that he
and hit nssoclateti will at once equip the
mine for deeper development. G. L. Kllng-
bell , formerly of Alliance , Neb. , Is supcrln- ,
tendcnt of the Annlo property. The tunnel
upon the Bcrlschy ground Is now In between
300 and 400 feet , and the owners expect to
reach a. strong ledge of concentrating ore
carrying considerable free gold values. A
mill run upon some forty-eight tons of ere
from the Dolcode claim , recently made , tendy
to confirm the favorable opln'on of this prop
erty. The granulated quartz frsm this claim
averaged $25.50 per ten. At sixty feet In
the shift the vein Is wider and bitter con
fined between walls thin upon the surface
This ID the claim belonging to Joseph Me-
Cluro and George Bain , which broHe all pre
vious records ! for rich free-gold specimens ,
One small chunk of the ore when crushcfi
In , a 'mortar and panned yielded about $20.
It was literally a mass of virgin gold , with
some adhering rock. The mill test Just made
pioved that the Doleoda U not only a "speci
men mine , " but a getiorcus producer.
The Holy Terror , from wh'ch little hat
been .heard since It became the property of
Milwaukee Investors , has been "sawing wood"
right along. The last clean up from a wcsk'i
run with five stamps Is given at $6.000. Two
hundred dollars per day per stamp la a rec
ord In keeping with the history of this prop
erty from "grass roots. "
The Kcyaicne company at Keystone started
Its now 30-slamp mill on Monday last. Th ;
mill Is pronounced by experts to be the best
designed and most perfect gold amalgamat'ng
and concentrating plant In the west. The
Keystone will for the pressnt use twcnt >
uamp3 : upon Uu own ores , and reduce custom
ores from the Bismarck and Bullion mine ?
with the remalnlnp ; ten.
The Star Eyed Egyptian , one cf the claims
located by "Lucky Dill" Franklin , Is no
under extensive development by parties rep
ro rted by William Louden of Omaha. A
body of very r.ch free milling ore U said if
have- been encountered at a depth of sixty
feet upon this property.
The promise ot extensive and Important
mining development In the Southern BlacK
Hills was never so bright beforo.
SAI.K IS 'It ) Hi : - POSTPOXKll.
\ V.iti \VorkH IMaiit Will Not He Solil
It Is now assured that the projected sale
of the plant ot the American Water Works
company under a decree of the federal court ,
will not occur on February 19 , ns wau
ordered. There are two reasons which will
operate to allow a postponement of the sal : .
In the first place It has been discovered that
the advertisement was not In accordance with
the decree of the court.
The decree provided that the sale should
occur at the government building , while ac
cording to the advertisement the sale will
take pldce at the county building. One or
two other discrepancies will be cited and the
fact that there is now n case pending before
Judge Caldwell In which matters pertaining
to the plant are Involved will also be used as
a pretext for postponing the sale. It Is ex-
lected that the cas ? before Judge Caldwell
will be decided within thirty days and the
iresent' ' plan Is to procure a new decree from
ho court , by which the sale shall bo set at
some time after the decision has been handed
down.
Receiver Blerbowcr stated yesterday
that there was no question In his mind but
: hat the sale would be postponed until after
he pending ult is decided. Ho said that he
iad no knowlcdgo of any deal that had been
arranged for the disposal of the propsrty. It
s understood , however , that arrangements
iavo been made by which the bondholders
are to buy In the plant at the tale. This
) Ian would leave the stockholders out en-
Irely and the bondholders propose to put In
some additional capital and run the plant to
suit themselves. The question of the post-
nonement ot the sale will probably bs raised
ieforo the court today.

CINCINNATI. Fob. 17. W.tlllnK and Jack
son , the accuses ! murderers of Pearl Bryan ,
will start from the Jail at S:30 : tomorrow
morning for a hearing In the police court
on the charge of bclnR fugitives from Jus-
tics. In vlow of that fact the following
advertisement , which appeared In a morning
paper without signature , Is regarded with
suspicion , to say the least :
Wanted Men , able-bodied , 1,000 , nt Court
ana Sycamore streets , nt 6:30 : o'clock Tues
day morning. Come ready to work.
The entrance to the Jail Is at the corner
of Court and Sycamore streets. The natural
Inference Is that this Is an Incitement to
riot , inssrled In the paper by some unknown
fomenter of mischief. If 1,000 men report
there tomorrow ready for work that moans
trouble. Whatever may be the personal
feelings of the police toward the prisoners ,
they can bo depended on to keep their oath
to uphold the law. The tame may be said
of the local military. The probabilities are
against trouble.
Dr. W. II. Crjno , the chemist who dis
covered cocaine In thu stomach of Pearl
Bryan , has Just reported officially that Ills
quantltivc analysis showed the- presence of
two-thirds of a grain of that drug.
The revelation by George H. Jackson of
thb facts of that midnight drive to the scene
of the tragedy has had an effect upon the
prisoners more depressing than anything else
his Inspired. A black bead- few blonde
hairs nnd some- hairpins have been found In
the newly discovered rockaway. Thesa cir
cumstances , with the established fact of the
rockawny being out on that murderous night ,
are "strongly corroborative of Jackson'a
story.
It Is barely probable that habeas corpus
proceedings may be employed to delay the
extradition to Kentucky. Meantime Gov
ernor Bradley has set his foot down against
lynching , and the good citizens of Newport
resent the Imputation that they arc not able
to glvo the prisoners a fair trial.

"Industrial Evolution In the- United States"
was the first topic of discussion before the
Chautauqua college at the First Methodist
church last evening. Dr. H. A. Hippie de
livered a short address , giving the epochs
through which America had passed to
present power and rank among manufactur
ing natlcns. The steady Increase of poula-
tion , the causes , that led to It , the spread
of commerce and tfie introduction of ma
chinery , most of which was the production
of home Inventive genius , were dwelt upon
as being the prime factors that brought
about this result. The speaker concluded by
saying that the only ominous cloud that
hung over America's Industry was corpora
tion greed , which sought to usurp the rlghls
of the laboring man by Instituting combines.
This he thought would soon be a subject of
government legislation.
The main address of the evening was de
livered by John L. Webster , his them ? being
"The Four Stages In America's Destiny. "
Mr. Webster prefaced his remarks by saying
that It had been demonstrated In the history
of the union that the divine right of kings
to govern was a fallacy. In no counlry the
world over had the destinies ot the masses
been worked out to such perfection as In the
evolution of this republic. It had been
shown that Washington was a tma patriot ,
not one of the old world regime that achieved
fame and fortune through the foolish sacri
fice of thousands of Innocent lives , both of
followers and bcleagurcd , and over the ruins
of despoiled homes. His principal was that
of a builder , nnd not that of a destroyer of
nations. As a statesman he looked Into the
future with wonderful perception and advo
cated noninterference with foreign nations
and the preservation of the unity of the
United States at all hazards.
Jefferson had taken up the resume of the
government where Washington left H. He
noted with a watchful eye the settlement
of France and Spain In the south of the new
continent and the seizure of Canada by Great
Britain. The conditions which existed In the
old world and caused wars by close associa
tion were rapidly enacted In Iho new world ,
and Jefferson counseled peaceable acquisition
of the Louisiana tract by purchas ? . The
wisdom of its purchase would ever remain
a monument to the memory of the great
statesman.
Washington had said "We sympathize with
any nation that unfurls the flag of peace. "
Stephen A. Douglas had said , "Wo should
recognize any nation that takes a stop to
ward freedom. " These words were the
touchstone afterward of American patriotism.
The Monroe doctrine wao but a legitimate
outcome of such sentiments , together with
the national Idea of equality among men and
a desire for fair play. Had Washington
lived until the prepjnt day ho would have
been a staunch advocate of the present po
sition of the United States In the Venezuelan
controversy.
Scward had said : "Let England bewara
how she arouses the ire In the bosom of
the young American nation. " Young It was
no more , nnd with 10.000,000 people inhabit
ing the former French possessions In the
Mississippi valley , It had become a formid
able power that only needed the bulldozing
policy of the mother country to fan the
slumbering embers and produce an eruption
that would startle the world.

knew , however , the fatal consequences that
would undoubtedly follow should they jump
away nnd leave the hand car on the track.
The two laborers wore sitting on the front
end. They stopped their cnr nnd succeeded
In getting the front portion of U entirely
fro from the track. Dalley had a moro
dlfllcult task In removing the rest of the
car. Just as he was getting his end ot the

other two men ccnped without Injury.

Ho was n Rood workman nnd liked by all
