A HOLOCAUST.
Three Boarding Houses Burned and Ten
Persons Cremated.

Three Boarding Houses Burned and Ten
Persons Cremated.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. PA dispatch
from Tower about a holocaust there last
night, in which three boarding houses
were burned, says the village bucket orig
ade, while working with will, was able to
do little towards subduing the flames
or rescuing the inmates. The
dodgers fought desperately IN
narrow hall and stairway
but becoming bewildered could not get
out. Of the thirty people in the
house it is thought nine or ten persisted.
At p. m. the search for the bodies was
progressing slowly amid the still smoking
ruins. OF those who jumped from the
windows, Robert Whitford was so
badly injured that he died few hours af-
forwards. Five bodies have been taken
from the ruins SO far. Though badly dis
figured, four of them are believed to be
those of W.. H Burns, Dan O'ConneIl,
Mike Trump and Alex Brandt.

IMPORTANT DEAL ON FOOT.
The st. Paul Negotiating to COntol the Chi

The st. Paul Negotiating to ContoI the Chi
cagO and Eastern Illinois, and the Chicago
and Indiana Coal Companies.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21-The Times will say
there was a confidential whis per in circu-
lation today among certain interested
parties of an important deal on foot,
which would be consumated within the
next three months. It embraces the sale
to the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
company, of the control of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois, and the
Chicago and Indiana Coal com
pan1es. The st. Paul has no coal
in quantities on any of its lines,
drawing its supplies from Illinois fields
through Chicago connections, or at juno
ton points northwest of here. It's main
object in securing the Chicago g. East
ern Illinois & the Chicago and Indiana
coal systems, would be TO secure to itsel
the Indiana coal fields tapped by thf
roads mentioned, which would give
1T not only an adequate supply for tie
own uses, but also excellent soft coal for
shipment to northwestern markets. The
first move is to be the consolida-
ton of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois and the Chicago & Indi-
ana coal companies. Both roads
are practically controlled by the same
syndicate, of which Ell. III. Porter and R.
p, Flower are the principal members, and
Porter is now in New York arranging for
consolidation. The syndicate bought
control of the Chicago g. Eastern I'LL
nois last summer, paying $40 per share
for the majority of the stock. The same
parties have developed the Chicago and
Indiana coal company by building extern
sions until it covers the most impor tant
of the Indiana coal fields. AS yet the
negotiations have been wholly informal.

Fridays Vote can be RecOBsidered Only by |
Unanimous Consent.


Unanimous Consent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The action of
the house in adjourning to-day without
disposing of the Th9be-Carlisle case,
rendered it impossible that the vote by
which the resolution for reopening of
the case was defeated yesterday can be
reconsidere@, except by unanimous con-
sent. The time within which such
motion could have been entered
is one of privilege having expired with
to-day's session. Although the rumor
that Mr.. Carlisle will on Monday address
letter to the house, asking that the case
be re-opened, is declared by that gentle
mans friends to be without foundation,
even should such communication be re-
ceived, its Suggestions could only be act
ed upon by unanimous consent unless the
order for the previous question, which
the house is now operating, should be
considered as withdrawn.
