Progress of the Work of Examining the
Imprisoned Victims.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August TN the
vicinity OF Third street and Pennsylvania
avenue this morning were thousands of
people gathered, making inquiries aud
visiting the wreck of the United States
Hotel. The tiremeu and volunteer force
continued the work of removing the
debris all night, and are still at it, Fol-
lowing is list OF those who have been
removed from the ruins up to this writ
ing; Mrs, Beldon, wife of the proprietor;
Ernest "Snooks," little white boy,
eleven years Old; Harriet and Anna
Dickson and Chas. Whitney, co orcd
servants. 1t is supposed that Solomon
Wilson, Mrs. Annie Fletcher and Henry
Hall, AL colored, are still in the ruins.
1t is said that Wilson was seen to leave
the building just before it fell, which, if
correct, leaves only Mrs. Fletcher and
Henry Hall still imprisoned.
A force of workmen engaged in clear
ing away the debris this morning discov-
cred the locality where Mrs. Addie
Fletcher was lying and after several
hours labor, succeeded in reaching her;
but when taken from the ruins, lite was
extinct. Every effort is being made to
lind the body of Henry Hall, who is sup
posed to be the only remaining victim.
Some persons are strong in the convc-
ton, however, that there will be others
found before the search is concluded.

Chinese Alchemy.

An eastern writer declares that there
is now no reasonable doubt that the
old Arabian alchemists and others de-
rived their ideas on the transmutation
of metals into gold and the belief in
immunity from death by the use of the
philosophers stone, from China. Mer-
curry is stated to have been the philos-
opher's stone, of which Geber and
others wrote, and cinnabar-red sui
phuret of mercury-was known to the
Chinese as early rs the seventh century
before the Christian era, its occurrence
on the earth's surface being said to in
dictate gold beneath. Mercury was ex-
cessively employed by the Chinese as a
medicine, and in the ninth century an
emperor was killed by an overdose.
Their medical books say it takes 200
wears to produce cinnabar; in 500 years
it becomes lead: in 200 years more it
becomes silver, and then by obtaining
q transforming substance called .'vapor
of harmony" it becomes gold. This
doctrine of the transformation of mer-
curry into other metals is 1000 years
old in China. The Chinese contend
that when mercury is taken into the
animal system it not only prolongs life
but expels bad vapors. poison. and

An Astonishing Story.

A dog belonging to the BIS. which
was great favorite of theirs and re-
garded as of thoroughly irreproaehable
training, was charged by some of their
neighbors with worrying sheep at
night The family rebutted this charge
on the ground that the dog was fast
ened into their kitchen At night, and
and was never let out until the servants
came down in the morning.
The farmers, however, persisted that
they knew the dog well, and had seen
him going from the sheepfold, though
he had managed to escape them.
When this was Jagged so strongly as to
make it imperative on the BIS to take
some further steps, one of the daugh-
tiers volunteered to sleep in the kitchen
and watch the dogs behavior.
When they made up the young ladv's
bed. the dog seemed very restless and
strange, but by and by he settled down,
and all was silent.
A little after midnight he got up,
came to the bed, and shifted about I'M
til he had satisfied himself that the lady
was not awake. Then he leaped into
the window seat. lifted the catch of
the shutters, and opened them. Then
he undid the latch of the window,
which he opened, and then disap-
peared.
After long interval he came back.
closed and fastened the window and
shutters, and finished by licking his
own feet and the marks which he had
left by springing on the floor. To the
terror of the seeming sleeper, he now
came and closely scrutinized her. but
she kept still, and he at last crept oil
to his own bed.
As soon as she heard the servants
stirring, the lady rose softly and
slipped through the door. But the
guilty dog had marked her. He sprang
up and made dash at her, with most
undisguised fury. for he saw that his
secret was discovered and his charac-
ter blasted by one whom he now re-
garded as a hateful spy.
Fortunately, she got the door fast in
time and at once alarmed the house.
But the dog was now so furious that no
one dared to go into the kitchen, and
at last gun was brought, pointed
through an aperture. and he was shot
dead From "Pentidnd ReCtsited.

A Startling Discover.

But for the pains of vigilant night
Waterman Chicago might have been the
scene of disastrous CONFEDERATION lass
night. Incendiary efforts of the most
startling character were directed
against the large four-story building at
No. Al Madison street, and there can
be but little doubt that great loss was
saved by the timely discovery of the
diabolical outfit. The latter consists of
fuse and numerous combustibles now
in the hands of Superintendent Bull
Wrinkle of the Fire Patrol, through
whom the investigation is being made
to discover the perpetrators of the
crime. The building which had this
narrow escape is occupied by four sep
arate firms-the first floor by w. II.
Hagedon q Co., wholesale milliners;
the second by Mason e. Hanson, dealers
in woolens; the third by Trocky Il Levi,
and the fourth by Badorf IL Co., dealers
in cloaks and suits. 1t was about half
past six o'clock when the Waterman of
the block, Joseph o Brien, of the Pinker-
ton force, discovered, on making his
first round, that the door leading into
the hallway of the building was I'M
locked. On going up to investigate he
detected a peculiar odor, as of some
thing burning. All the stores were
closed except that of Mason Il Hanson
on the second floor, where some
of the clerks still fingered Their
attention WAS called to the smell,
and in company with the officer they
walked up to the next floor, where they
discovered a large dry-goods box COW
cred over with combustibles, from
the midst of which the smell emanated.
The box lay upon its side in the hall
with its face again.t the wall next to
the store of Trocky a. Levi. Inside
there was a long fuse, carefully ar
ranged in coil, and burning surely
and steadily toward box of matches,
to which one end was fastened. The
fuse consisted of cotton tape resem-
bling lamp-wick which had been steep
ed in some tcombustlble substance
There We're ten pieces, each measuring
about five and one-half feet, fastened al
the ends, and ON untying one of the
pieces the officer discovered that it was
consumed in exactly forty minutes.
When the bundle was first discovered
the ashes of two of these sections could
be traced out in the box. so that it APP
pcared that the fuse had been lighted
about twenty minutes to five, and that
ii had been set to kindle mysterious
fire about 2:20 a. m.-Chtcag0 tribune.
