worse showing. Il is generally conceded
by railroad men that earnings reached the
zenith some time since. Union Pacific was

GREAT DISASTER.
COnfiagration at the Northwestern Car
Company Works at stillWater.
AID sESF FROM ST. PAUI
The Fire Under Control after a $780,.
900 Loss.
Especial Telegram to tno ulo5e. |

SALTWATER, Jan. ., q. m.-There was
great excitement in 'his city last night
whsn it was reported that the Northwest
ern Manufacturing company's works were
or fire.
The fire was discovered about 1880 P.
m. in the glazing room at the
north end of the building. The building is of
stone, four stories high, and is owned by
the state, but occupied by the Northwest
ern Manufacturing company, who sue
ceeded the we'll known firm of Seymour,
Sabin & Co.
st 2:15 a. m. the fire was under control
but not until it had consumed the cabinet
shop, the pattern shop, the glazing room,
planning mill, blacksmith shop and engine
erecting shop.
The fire is the most disastrous that has
ever taken place in Saltwater. The loss is
estimated at S3OO,OOo but the worst fea-
ture is that 800 citizens are thrown out of
employment in addition to $50 convict
laborers.
The insurance is very light,not exceeding
$4,000. OF this $4,000 is on the build
ing, and the balance evenly divided on the
machinery and stock. All the machinery
and stock in the department named was
destroyed.
In the workshop was quite large stock
of fixtures for the First National bank of
st. Paul, and these were valsed at $1,000.
They were about two thirds finished. Ii is
estimated that the loss will fall equally on
the state and the Car company.
Later information is to the effect that the loss
is one-half covered by insurance.
During the fire the best of oder was main
tanned in the prison. Warden Reed and Deputy
Hall removed 100 convicts from the cells near
est the fire. These were taken to another part
of the prison.
The bla ,ksmith shop contained a number Of
trip hammers and other valuable machinery.
The engine shop contained number of portable
engines in process of erection. The bolt shop
was also fally stocked. The engine room was
somewhat damaged, but not very seriously. The
shop containing he patterns and the car paint
shop and other buildings outside the prison walls
were not damaged.

THE DANvILLE MASSACRE.

\ Half a Dozen Witnesses Heard Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Danviile
massacre investigation was resumed yes
terday.
w. H. Barksdale, colored, clergy
man, after repeating the story of the riot,
which he witnessed from short distance,
was questioned by Senator Vance es to
whether, in the opinion of witness, the
cOlored people showed proper apprecia-
| ton of the right of suffrage and fulfilled
their duties as citizens in abstaining from
voting because of the riot. He alluded to
the assurances from those in authority of
protection TO the colored people on cleo
ton day The witness discussed the
matter awhile, and finally summarized his
opinions as follows ut is too late for
you to offer me compromise after you
have wounded and killed me.
Senator Vance elected from witness
the opinion that the older generation Of
colored people who were slaves were
more industrious and more peacefully in
clined than their descendants.
Senator Sherman in turn brought out
the avOwal that the younger generation
of whites were more aggressive and less
considerate towards the colored people
than were their slave-owning ancestors.
Albert Collaway (cOlored) was called.
He thought the preliminary fight was
personal affair-merely fair fight. The
Colored man was whipped, and the matter
should haYe ended there. He thought
that whites and blacks were equally
blamable for gathering. He said he hated
to own it, but he didn't vote because he
was Skeered.
William MINIS, a cOlOred barber, testi
fed to two white men loading their re-
vOlvers in his shop and to several revol-
yer boxes being eft there. He never
voted, and made no inquiries in regard to
voting. His patrons advised him not to
be on the street that day. and he remained
at his shop all day.
RadisOn Coles, COlOrcd, saw Il white
man whom he did not know, but who he
was told was Johnson, of Mechanicsville,
shoot two negroes.
w p. Averett, white, testified to see
ing four or five whites confronted by
threatening crowd Of negroes, and to 60
ing to the opera house and summoning
assistance.
Nelson Scott, colored, heard Col. Sims
tell Dr. Barksdale that if any one was of
Tended by his speech he would Ego with
them to North Carolina, meaning &C
cept challenge to fight south of the State
line.
At O'Clock the proceedings were adj
journed to to-day.
