Holding the Fort.
A private letter was received by a gentle.
man in this city yesterday from one Of the
locked-out miners at Timberline, in which
he says: please have the Butte MINER
deny the statement published in the Boze'
III Chronicle and other Territorial papers
to the effect that the Knights Of Labor had
withdrawn all support from the locked-out
miners at Timberline, and that the people
were leaving the camp.
The General Assembly X. OF L. will fur
nish $500 a day to support and keep the
locked.out miners in Timberlinc as long as
they want to remain, and if the tenants are
compelled by the Coal Company to vacate
their dwelling houses, the X. OF L. will
build houses for them.
The Knights OF Labor will contest the
legality of the claim to the coal lands held
by the Northern Pacific Coal Company in
all the courts of the United States. The
Knights offered to lease the mines for a
term OF years. but the company refused to
lease them, and they would own mines and
furnish the Northern Pacific Railroad with
coal OF as good quality and as cheap as
was supplied by the Northern Pacific Coal

. ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-About two O'Clock
this morning a fire broke out in the Metro
polttan Hotel, No. IL North Seventh street,
and so rapidly did it spread that but for the
prompt arrival of the department a terrible
holocaust would have occurred. w. Pre-.
tone, who was standing in an alley facing
the hotel, was the first to discover the fire,
and his shouts and cries for assistance soon
attracted a crowd of people and an alarm
was sent in. Smoke was issuing from the
thlTd-story windows and the crowd below
were Mortified to see a woman approach
one of the windows, against which she
pressed her face. apparently sutfocating.
Some one in the crowd threw a stone with
unerring aim against the window, which
went i'll with a crash. Then with her arms
the woman broke out the remainder and
climbing on the sill, stood faltering for a
moment, then threw herself headlong to the
stone basement below. The crowd of people
turned aside their heads to avoid the sicken-
ing sight. She fell with a heavy sound. and

a Chinese laundry close by where she was
found to be still alive, but horribly burned,
and with a terrible cash in her neck. Hell

that the girls throat had been cut
and the place burned to cover the crime,
but this is probably not correct. 1t is also
stated that one OF the female domestics had
a male visitor in her room, and during a
quarrel the lamp was upset and the place
set on fire in this manner. AT
this hour, however, it is impossible to get

death, and for a time the excitement was
intense.

THE PENSION LIST
Annual Report of Commissioners Black
Various Recommendations.

~ IheporI OIL Com missioner Black
Various Recommendations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual re.
port OF Pension Commissioner Black saws
that the net Increase in the number of pen
slonels during tie last fiscal year was
q, 1863. The aggregate annual value of all
pensions is S3s, 900, 9s5. an increase during
the year of S3,G34, 6S4. The amount paid
for pensions during the year is S6!, 1885,
an increase in amount over the previous
year of S. G9, s3S. Eight hundred
and ninety thousand three hundro,l
and thirty-four claims for pen OH /;
on account of disability and ds.tl
were lied during the year, and 5al,029
allowed. T%hirty-four thousand six nun
dred and scventy-three claims for pensions
have been filed by survivors of the war of
1872, and 40, $50 by widows OF the soldiers
ami sailors of that war. Of such claims
59,e6S have been allowed.
The commissioner suggests that an in.
creased pension should be given in cases of
total deafness and in cases which approxi.
mate total deafness, and recommends ii rat.
ing OF thirty dollars for total deafness and
propOrtlonate ratings Tor lesser degrees
OF this trouble. He also suggests
that the benefits of the act OF
March 3, 1885, be extended to soldiers and
sailors who. while in the line of duty, lost
an arm above the elhow-joint or a leg above
the lSnee-joint, and who in consequence
thereof have been Substantially disabled
to the same degree as though amputation
had been performed at the shoulder or
hip-joint. General Black calls attention to
the widespread feeling that the limitation
imposed by Section 2 of the act of March
so. 1879, is unjust in its operations. If a
soldier was entitled to a pension at any
time prior to the first day of July, 1880, no
good reason, he thinks, exists wiz he
should not be allowed to make proof thereof.
Inc Commissioner says that since his ad-
vent to office the employees of the Bureau
haye been selected without regard to polit-
ical faith, and the result has been ACCELERATED
business, increased results and diminished
expenditures.

The opinion is gaining that the Dor
ing for natural gas, like that for coal
oil, is being u into the ground. These
wells have been known on the prairies
OF Illinois for many years. Farmers who
have struck gas in boringfor water have
connected the wells with their
houses by a system of pipes, and used
tho gas exclusively for fuel and lighting
purposes. But after a time, more OF
less, the wells have weakened or failed
and been abandoned.
