GALVESTON. Texas, Oct 2-There is no
truth in the reports teegrsphed from the Rio
Grande yesterday that Skaters and Bulls
commands had met with disaster in Mexico
Both commands have returned to the American
side of the river without loss. The expedition
was unsuccessful. owing to the fact that the
Indians had been warned of Bulls pursuit and
escaped. Twelve horses and two mules, which
had been stolen from the American side of the
river, were recaptured A small body of Mex
lean cavalry kept upon the trail and in sight of
the command during their march from San

CONNECTICUT,
Frightful Fatal Fire.

Bridgeport, June S.-The most disas-
trous fire V experienced here oc-
Cured last night. At 11:30 O'Clock Il
light was discovered in the fourth story
of Glover, Sanford 81 Sons factory.
The alarm was sounded, followed by a
second, and the whole fire department
responded. The water supply proved
insufficient, and the fire thereby OBJ
tanned the mastery. The flames were
first seen in the dyeing room, in the
third story of the main building, and
running along that floor, were commu-
nicated by the dummy to the stories
below. The main building was $50
feet long, 80 feet wide, and A stories
high.
While volunteers were removing
goods from the office, Il one-story struc-
ture, suddenly and without warning,
the back and front
WALLS FELL. OUT,
leaving the two highest walls unsur-
ported. The one adjoining the Office
leaned outward, and rs "a shrek went
up from the spectators, fell upon the
roof of the office, crushing through to
the basement, and burying those with
in. One man who escaped stated that
there We're n dozen men i'll the ruins.
and already eleven bodies have been
recovered, nearly all
FEARFULLY CRUSHED
II more or less burned. AT the same
time the east end wall also fell carry
ing fire into the wing, 40 feet long,
ann so feet wide. This was also COM
pletely destroyed, together with the
engine and boiler rooms adjoining.
The walls fell about 1890, and as soon
as possible search for the missing was
commenced, but it was 8 O'Clock when
| the first body was recovered. During
the neXt hour eight were found, and by
1920 two others had been taken from
the runs. The bodies were placed in
wooden boxes, and are awaiting the
action of the %coroner's jury. The
names of those recovered are q. j.
Acker, limbs burned off to knees; he
leaves a wife and 3 children; George
Acker, son of o. j., crushed; John
Gallagher leaves Il wife and children;
Chas. f. Dart leaves a wife and 2 chill
dren; John Maloney and VIM. McIntire,
heads severed from body; John Tomlin,
burned beyond recognition, but was
identified by watch and ring; II other
body, supposed to be that of n man
named Sweeney, was found with his
limbs burned off; another body was so
crushed and burned a to be unrecog-
nizable, but it is supposed to be that of
a man named Cayne. rser-. o.
The original building was erected at
a cost of $4,000. Sanford's loss on
building, machinery and stock will
reach S250,000; insurance $50, 900.
The Sanfords say they will sell or lease,
rather than put up a new factory with
out a better water supply. They had
hose on every floor, but no water could
be had.
