THE RED DESTROYER BEGINS ITS
CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL.

Burning Building and Several Other
Firemen Have Miraculous Escapes
A Military Garrison In Imminent
Danger.
CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 22.--Fire at T.. A.
Strobers picture frame mandatory this
morning not only caused overwhelming
loss, but resulted in a disaster TO firemen
that is appalling. Jerry Bray, captain of
Fire Company No. IA, went down with the
fifth floor whom it tell and was burned to
death.
1t was hoped this would be the only cas-.
ualty. After the fire had been raging for
sometime wall fell on the east side of the
structure, and the fireman barely escaped
in time.
SEVERAL FIREMEN BURIED.
Then shortly afterward the north wall
fell outward. In front of it, on a lumber
pile, were number Of firemen, 10 whom
escape was impossible, and tue brave men
s. emed doomed to death. As soon as the
wall had fallen other firemen rushed In
to rescue their fell ws, and 500
extricated firemen Morton, Anderson a d
Johh Fiaherty, George BushIng and Thos,
'ANiAef "ho WStp utOio ttoSs
were sent to hospital. Later firemen
Davis and John McGurn were also rescued
and sent to a hospital, although their in
Juries were not apparently serious joan
White was also injured.
NATURE OF THE INJURIES
At tho hospital it was found that Ander-
son and McGurn we're quits seriously in
jured internally. BushIng was also
badly hurt. The others received
painful but not serious wounds.
1t is thought that the fire started In the
fifth sto. y, in small varnish room, and
can only be accounted for on the
theory of spontaneous combustion. As
far as known there was no fire
about the establishment after o
o'clock. The buildin as divided about
midway by brick wall, with only two
openings, and these were closed by iron
doos. The fire was therefore confined to
the rear half, known as the old part Of the
building. he goods in the front part,
however, are damaged by water.

STANLEY AT wADELAI.
a Story Brought to Zanzibar Picked
Up from Arab Traders.

ZANZIBAR, Dec 22-One Of the special
messengers sent into the interior in October
in the hope of obtaining news of Emin Bey
and Stanley from caravans, has sent dis
patch announcing that he met Arab traders
from Wadelai, who positively affirmed that
Stanley met Emin Bey there about Jan. 90.
Stanley, the traders said. had $50 men, and
plenty of stores. He had endured great
privations, but he and all his party we're well
although extremely exHaus ed. The DELAY
in reaching Wadelai was due TO difficulties
encountered on the route, the expedition
having to make long detour toward the
northeast in order to avoid swamps and
hostile tribes. Emin was then in fairly good
position, although some Of his Z yptian
officers were grumbling, and many of his
soldiers had deserted
two HOSTILE KINGS.
The kings of Uganda and Unyora were
hostile to E min, who was obliged, in No
vember, to repel predatory incursions from
the east. His genert health was good, but he
had been suffering from an affection of the
eyes for two mo tbs. A fortnight after
Stanley's arrival, Emin received, via Lado,
a message from the Mahdi pompously init
mating his intention to sub1ue the whole
country as far as the great lakes, and
promising good treatment il Emin
submitted. Emin replied that before
evacuting he must wait for
the Mahdi to prove the legitimacy Of his
claim to the province. Stanley, in the
mean time, applied himself to restoring or
der among the troops and distributing stores
and munitions. Emil told Stanley that he
did not desire to leave Walelai. Tie entire
route to the coast was most dangerous on
account Of the incessant agitation amoag
the tribes and the hostility of Mwanga.
STANLEY SENDS OUT MESSENGERS.
Toward the middle of April, hearing
that force Of the Mahdi's was coming.
Emin ordered his advance posts between
Dufie and Lado to retire to Wadelai, I'd
Stanley sent messengers to the kings of
Uganda and Umyora. About the end of
April, when the traders left Wadelai,
Stanley was anxious, owing to the absence
of news from the rear guard, and
was arranging to send strong
detachment in search of them
along the route which he himself
had followed. Stanley also again u 'ged
EmIn to leave Wadeai with him and re-
gain the coast. Stanley sent several cou-
riers with news for Europe One was a
courier who was sent by the foreign consul,
at Zanzibar to apprize E min of the depart
ure of the relief expedition. This courier
had remained at Wadelai, and was sent back
to the east coast after the arrival of Stan
ley. Another courier was sent in the direc-
tion Of the Aruwhimi

The Status of the Dudley Case is Still
Court Secret
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 22.-The federal
grand jury took a recess this evening until
Jan. H. Just before adjournmenu they
sent for Judge Woods and the foreman
asked tue court for additional instructions
upon some point not made public. Judge
Woods, after consulting with Assistant
District Attorney Claypool, returned word
that tue court had no instructions beyond
such as were given when the jury was i'm
paneled. The jury returned no indictment
this evening, contrary to general expecta-
tions, and it is thought il was upon this
point that they desired tne courts special
Instructions and the judge decided not to
deviate from tae usual practice and left the
jury free to present its indictments when
ever it should see ft TO do so. 1t is said
multitude of Indictments are being pre-
pared on the evidence thus far submitted,
but they are all small and unimp rtant
cases. The status Of the Dudley case before
the jury remains for the present secret.

MORIERE NOT A spy.
Prince Bismarck Will Make an Official
Contradiction.

CONTRADICTORY.
copyrighted By NeIO York associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 22.-Semi-offical papers
continue their attacks on the character o.
Sir r. d. Moriere the British ambassador
at ST. Petersburg. The apparent object is
to prevent the acceptance Of Sir Moriere at
Vienna under the pending changes of Eng
lish ambassadors Sir Moriere asks, through
the British minister he e, for an Official
contradiction of the Cologne Gdzette's
assertion that he held communication with
Marshal Bazai during the war of 1870,
and was seeking TO betray the German
army. Sir Moriere, though heartily dis
liked by Prince Bismarck, will get the con-
tradiction he desires
HIS VIEWS SIMILAR TO FREDERICK's.
Prince Bismark knows him as holding
views of German politics similar to those OF
Emperor Frederick. He was a close friond
OF Baron Won Demet during his 10 & pc
riod of diplomatic service at various Ger
man courts. The chancellor probably has
cause to suspect him of intriguing against
herman interests since the time Of his re-
lection, but the charge OF acting as a spy
Tor Marshal Bazaine is incredible. During
The war Sir Morere, then attached to the
court at DarmStadt, went to Str sbourg IN
order TO give help to the wounded Ger mans,
aud received the confidence and respect Of
The German officials But he has now ac-
quired the cordial dislike Of the officials Of
Berlin as supposed enemy Of German
unity.

New ORLEANS, La, Doc. GA
Meridian special says: "A rumor was in
circulation in this ci,y yesterday, based on
dispatch sent from Wahalak. 10 the effect
that the negroes had congregated the
second time in the mountains west Of that
village, and that they outnumbered the
whites, who were seeking retri button for
the murder of Frank Maury and Seth Cobb
and the wounding Of several other whites
during the riot OF Sunday night last.

This dispatch caused great excitement in
this city, and at other points ON the Mobile
and Ohio railroad A request was also
made for help from this city, and number
OF men made all the necessary arrangements
to 60 TO the seat of war this NOR Ing. Pre-
caution was taken, however, to send a re-
spo ,sible person from Wahalak to look into
the truthtulness Of the rumor.
NO MEN NEEDED.
At IL o'clock this morning second dis
patch was received from the party who sent
the first dispatc1, saving that no more men
were wanted, and that tho excl ement had
already subsided. 1t is believed, hon ever,
that at least three negroes have been killed
up to date, and that George Maury and the
other negroes connected with riot nave
been run in at some point in the mountains
and are surrounded by parties in Sc lrch.
DETERMINATION OF THE WHITES.
"The Kemper county people aud others
connected with the search for the negroes
implicated in the killing are particularly
careful not to permit aiy news to get out
side the lines. A rumor that rioting has
been renewed is untrustN orthy, but there
is no doubt as TO the continued and deter
mined &C ion of the psople Of Kemper to
ferret out the murderous negroes who are
stIll at large"
