Just Like Other Men.

Father Peter Crudden, pastor OF st.
PETERS Roman Catholic Church in Law
renee, Mass, died about a year ago after
a pastorate of thirty-nine years. His sal
airy all this time was only 5000 per year,
yet he left property valued at 100000 to
his maiden sister Margaret. Attachments
have been sworn out against Margaret's
property at the instance of Archbishop
Williams and the diocese will now
make fight to get the dead priests mon
ey. The suit is based upon the alleged fact
that during his lifetime Father Crudden
did not turn over to his bishop all the
church receipts over and above certain
expenditures. The matter has caused
quite a sensation and there is good deal
of guesswork as to how Father Crudden
amassed half million dollars on q salary
of 5000 per year.

Where is the Money!

Some time ago the treasury department
discovered deficit of $4,000 in the ac-
counts of the sub-treasurer at San Francis
co, and an agent was sent out to examine
the matter. He has just returned with the
announcement that not only has he been
unable to trace the former shortage, but
has discovered another aggregating $4,000,
which was also unexplainabie. This Pc
cuiar state of affairs may result in the
assistant treasurer, T. II.
Brooks, losing his position. When he was
appointed last summer he gave temporary
bond to extend to the adjournment of con-
gress. On his confirmation he should
have given permanent one. He was con-
frmed in the early part of March, but up
to date has not yet filed his bond. The
chances are that the discovery of the
shortages in his Office will act as a bar to
his obtaining bondsmen, and that on
this account he will be obliged to give up
his office. Ex-senator Sharon was the
principal surety on Mr.. Brooks temporary
bond. Mr.. Sharon is dead, and Mr..
Brooks has as yet found no one to take
his place.

Jackh delivered one of the most bitter in
vectives. Others followed, and old charges

Marine City ia Not too Fresh.

Marine City has the largest salt well In
Michigan and one of the very largest in
the United States. IL was finished June
"a by III. w. Curtis for DIR. X. b. Baird.
This well Is the first drilled there by the
cable process, which is grand success, as
Ii has produced a well capable of affording
a continuous stream three and a half
inches in diameter, of brine 100 per cent
strong, and as the well is drilled 40 feet
into the very purest crystalized solid salt
rock il is considered by the best judges to
be capable of supplying brine adequate to
the manufacture of 1000 barrels per day
of the finest quality OF salt, and will be-
yond a question yield the enterprising
doctor o handsome revenue for supplying
other blocks, and at the same time supply
his own at very low cost.

cess of the colonial Indian exhibition.

A Kings Funeral.

King Ludwig's burial occurred in
Munich on the 10Th inst.
The funeral pageant was the most inn
posing ever witnessed in Munich. 1t took
fully one hour to pass given point.
The program as finally arranged was
carried out to a letter, and not a single
hitch occurred to mar the solemnity of the
occasion. At st. Michael's church the
archbishop of Munich officiated at the
requiem mass offered up for the soul of
the departed monarch. The venerable
archbishop, at different intervals during
the performance of the solemn ritual, APP
peared to be deeply moved, and several
times during his address on the life and
character of the deceased king his voice
grew husky and his eyes filled with tears.
The crown prince of Germany, who was
present, and remained throughout the SER
vices, was also affected to tears by the
touching reference made by the arch
bishop to the dead monarch
A vast concourse of people gathered
along the route of the funeral cortege. As
the hearse containina the remains of the
greatly beloved sovereign passed by, the
crush at several places along the route
was so great that many persons wer0
thrown down and trampled upon.

A BOSTON HOLOCAUST.
Men Burned to Death in View of Those Unable
TO Helm.

A terrible fire accompanied by the loss
of life destroyed the New England Insti-
tute fair building on Huntington avenue,
Boston. The building was built by the
New England manufacturers, and mechan-
ics' institute for exhibition purposes at a
cost of nearly s5OO,0OO Last winter it was
bought by the Metropolitan street railway
company for 100000 and has since been
used as place flor storing and repairing
cars.
So quickly did the flames spread that,
before the first engine had arrived, the
immense roof had fallen and the building
was roaring mass of flame. The work
men sought to save their tools, and many
were badly burned before they could get
out of the building, while Others were un-
able to escape. In the building were about
400 box cars, only one of which was saved.
The great barn-like structure, which cover
ed an area of five acres, with floor space
of nearly eight acres, was so full of flame
that the walls were. blown out. As soon
as it was learned that lives had been lost
in the building, all streams were turned to
the rear of the structure, and the firemen
bravely forced their way into the blazing
ruins to rescue the bodies. The flames re-
fused to surrender until they had con-
quered everything combustible within the
building, and the work of rescue was at
tended with great danger.
While the thousands of spectators were
viewing from the neighboring roofs the
magnificent spectacle a horrible tragedy
was being enacted within, all out of sight
and unknown to the throng. After the
flames had been sufficiently extinguished
search was begun among the charred
ruins for possible victims, and twelve dead
bodies had been removed most of them
burned beyond recognition.
The burning of the vast building was
one Of the grandest sights seen in that city
since the crest fire of 1872. The wind blew
freshly and added much to the power Of
the flames as they rapidly swept from one
part of the building to the other.
The total loss is now estimated at $780,.
600, divided as near as can be asceruained
as follows: Building, fixtures, etc, $780,
900; cars, $4,000; machinery, tools, etc,
$4,000. The insurance aggregates SllO,
900 as follows Building, $4,000; machin-
cry, So, 1000; cars, 100000.
1t is believed that the building was set
on fire in several places by discharged
employees. No additional bodies have been
taken out. Sixteen persons are missing.
The ruins are still burning

Sioux City, ID. T., Argus has created
great sensation. The Argus vouches for
the reliability of its correspondent, who Is
a prominent citizen. An abstract Is as
follows:
IL have just returned from Yankton and

tions confidentially made to me by an
intimate friend, resident OF that city;
The statehood conspirators are In dead
earnest. They have a military as well as
political organization extending into
every county, city and village in the
southern part OF the territory. Ex-United
States Attorney Campbell and his follow
ers are securing the country and organic
ing and they mean mischief. Their plan is
briefly this: As soon as the people OF
South Dakota are sufficiently excited the
machinery OF state government will be
put into operation and the territorial gov
eminent will be set at defiance Campbell
ana his co-conspirators are prepared for
the result. The statehood army has
thousands already enrolled. My sense of
public duty at the risk of a breach of con-
tidence compels me to say this much. Gen.
Hugh j. Campbell Is commander in chief
of the Statehood forces, which at present
consist of two army corps, the eastern and
the central, Congressman-elect L. j. Kan
ouse being commander OF the first and
Gov. elect A. G.. Mellette of the second,
each holding the rank of major-general.
Huron is recognized as the seat Of govern
ment and military headquarters, but
Yankton, Woonsocket aud Watertown
are the bases of military supplies. The
amount of guns and ammunition already
stored at these points is enough to con-
vince one of the determined and desperate
character of the movement. How soon
the conflict will come it is impossible to
say. Ii is now an open secret that the
