A Decided Success, and the individuals
Who Were Successful.
The fair held in the basement of st.
Joseph's Church, for the benefit of the
church, terminated last night. As stated
in the TArrLER last Sunday, the contests
for the various prices were decided during
the week. The gold-headed cane was voted
to Capt. Geo. B. Fielder. who received ~
votes more than his competitor Sheriff

for which were Miss Annie Ogden and Miss
McNamara, was conferred on the latter.
Both of these ladies did much to render
the fair success. The album, containing
autographs Of President Cleveland and his
sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, will
probably be conferred on either th Rev

Miss Mamie Ramsay who obtained the
autographs At ten o'clock last night the

realized was not known, though the fair
has been decided success.

THE BELLE AT LORILARD'S.
A CONTRAREETY OF OPINIONS rs TO
WHO rs ENTITLED 70 TIE PALM.

| A TaftieF Portrait 6tfrs Up am Exciting Dis
| cussion Among the Factory Employees
-Four Portraits that Have Been Sent TO
| Us as Pictures of Prize Beauties.
A young woman with pinched face,
and shawl thrown over her head and
shoulders opened o copy Of last Sundays
TArrLER in the Plug Department of Lori
lard's factory early last Monday morning.
ssHave you seen the belle of the factory"
she asked, her teeth yet ehattering with
the chill of the outside air from which she
had just come.
"Pooh exclaimed two or three of the
girls who crowded around her. Such q
belief
"He's got mighty poor taste !" shouted
another.
ssAnd fine eye for beauty" exclaimed a
third.
ssThe broad nose of her !"
.sAnd the big lips of her
s'And the crooked face of hers" were
shot over the shoulders of the multitude
that had now gathered around the portrait.
The scene was only typical. All over the
factory groups of girls discussed the por-
trait, and young fellows looked in vain
upon it in the hope of discovering some
lineament he had noticed upon the face of
chs own Mary Ann" All the week they
were busy trying to guess who the original
of the portrait might have been. Some
guessed that it was Nelly Goodwin; and
still others that it was Nellie Barry. The
TATTLER can only say that it adheres to
its original announcement that she is the
Belle of Lorillard's, and that when her
name is announced she will be recognized
at once as the reigning beauty of the estab
llshment.
The publication of the portrait was ex-
pected to arouse deep interest among the
employees at the factory but is has done
more It has created the widest excite
ment. Some Of the young women who
deemed themselves fit for sculptor's models
were all but frenzied with jealousy
when they saw that some one else than
themselves had been selected as model.
And countless young fellows insisted that
their respective sweethearts take the cake,
for beauty against all-comers. All the week
the TATTLER Office has been besieged by
factory hands wanting q copy of ssthat
paper with the belle in, J" and its letter mail
has been loaded with missives upon the
subject In four of them came portraits
which we present below, with the letters
that accompanied them. Others were
guesses as to who the girl might be; others
were suggestions as to who should have
been PORTRAYED in her stead. Here are the
letters that accompanied the portraits

PRETTY WELL PLAYED,


Peculiar Railroad Tactics in Settling n
Suft for Damages.
A case heard in Judge Randolph's Civil
Court at the City Hall on Friday evening
revealed the tacticts persued by some Rail-
roads in settlement of suits for damages.
Miss Ella E. Wall, of No. 566 Jersey avenue,
started some time ago, to go to Rockaway,
little town in Morris County, on the line
of the Delaware, hackawanna and Western
Railroad While alighting from the train
she fell and injured her back so badly that
she is yet suffering from ir. The day after
she had sustained her injuries, Special
Officer McKenna, with the conductor and
one of the brakemen of the train called on
her, and offered her SO to settle any
claim she might have against the company
because of her injuries. The conductor
told her that he would be discharged
from tho company's service if she did not
forgive the company. He had just bought
his little home with the meagre savings
of years, and if he were dismissed the
house would have to be sold and his
family would be turned out into the cold.
The brakeman told her an equally pitt
able story about his having wife and
children depending for their daily bread
upon the Pittance he earned from the
road, and his fear that even this would
be cut off by the company's discharging
him, if Miss Wall brought suit against
the company. They gave her to UNDER
stand that they were paying her demands
out of their own pockets, that they could
not afford to spend much, and offered
her ten dollars. They played so thor
oughly on her sympatnies that she finally
agreed to accept SIS, and signed for
NAL release to the company. Her injur-
les proved more serious than she at first
expected them to. She is employed at
lie Boutillier Bros. dry goods store in
New York, and was for some time unable
to attend to business. She made up her
mind that SIS did not begin to cover tho
loss she had sustained, and instituted suit
in Judge Randolph's court to recover
damages. The company set up the re-
lease and Judge Randolph non-suited the
fair plaintiff.

every window. Another alarm was sent
out and promptly answered by engines 2

the flames soon spread to the 8 story frame

herself hastily she went to the scene of the

In slumber; and she had hammered on the
doors and windows for some moments be-

Then the women and chlIdren made a
frantic rush for the doors, crowding and

poor frightened creatures did not know OF
the fire until it had been in progress for
over an Eour. Few Of them stopped to put
on their clothes but rushed out in the cold
morning air in their night clothes, and were
glad to get out in that shape, some grasped
chairs and articles of household utensils.

lBy associated Pres to as zatasr.I
DENVER, Col. Jan. 2S.--A special from
Aspen to the Tribune Republican says: The
Maroon Post Road has been the scene Of
fearful loss of life during the recent
storm. The horrors Of Thursday have
been intensified by developments yestss-
day, which show the Pass to be snow-
bound tomb, While men were hunting
yesterday for the bodies carried down IN
Thursdays snow slide, word was received
of another avalanche further up the canon.
The avalanche struck the latter place at
midnight on Tuesday. Clayton Cannot,
Sol Camp, Charles futile. Martin Riley,
Jap Paris, August Goodwin. Al Somers
and Martin Patterson were asleep at the
time. The cabin where they were was
supposed to be safe, as it was built of
heavy timbers, but when the slide came
down it snapped the trees as though they
were pipe-stems, hurting them against the
cabin and crushing everything IN mass.
Martin Riley and August Goodwin had
$1,000 RASA-o A@AA0J
Gated. When the slide struck the timber
it divided, part rushing across the gulch
and burying cabin on the opposite side
occupied by three men, without inluring
them. These men worked their way
out at noon, and started to rescue
their friends. On Wednesday evening after
cutting through numberIess fallen trees
they effected an entrance to the cabin and
found three of the men dead and the
other five suffering terribly from sufoca-
ton. Sol Camp lay on his face dead, and
the body of Jap Farms was pinioned across
the back by heavy timbers. Riley died in
five minutes after the disaster. His dying
convulsions nearly caused the death of the
man underneath him. Camp had sus-
tanned terrible cut on the head from
which the blood flowed profusely, and be-
fore he died he became terribly thirsty and
beng in position where he could hold
his hands under his bleeding head, he
quenched his thirst with his own blood.
All the men alive were nearly crazy when
found. Last evening portion of the zes~
cuing party returned to Aspen, bringing
additional information of the disaster Of
Tuesday, previously reported. The party
also brought information of another slide
which presumably occurred at about the
same time and in which eight men were
caught, three being killed. The bodies
have been recovered. The halfway house
between here and Crested Butte, occupied
by man named Lafse and wife, was
swept away.
SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. 23.-The damage by
