Horrible Holocaust

RocKDALE, Texas, June A moss
horrible calamity has befallen Rock
dale. This morning, about 4 O'Clock.
the Mendine Hotel, three story brick
building, was found to be on fire and
was quickly all ablaze. On the inside
we're thirteen persons, only two of whom
escaped alive. DR.. W. A. Brooks. the
proprietor, WAS pulled out of the burn
ing building with his hair and beard
singed off and otherwise badly burned.
leaving behind him his wife and foun
children, who persisted.
Penberton Pierce, representing the
firm of George q. ZeigIer & Co., Of
Philadelphia, jumped from the burning
building and was killed.
D. NJ. Oldham. OF Dallas. represent
ing the firm of F Quinn d Co. of Gal
weston, escaped badly singed.
The mystery about the whole thing Is
that so many could have persisted
when none were higher up than the
second story, and there were galleries
and exits On both sides of the building
occupied by the sleepers. No one was
heard 20 call Or scream, all dying with
out cry for help, though great crowd
quickly gathered ana exhausted every
effort to afford rescue. The pecuDiarv
loss is small.

PARIS, June 4.-In the Chambers, to-
day, Boulanger said: In the Republic
it is governed by group. A state Of

all Republicans desiring liberty and
justice for ell. characterization has
excited culpaole cupidity, it has
paralyzed the grand will of the nation.
A revision of the constitution was the
effectual way to take the government
from the hands of the priyileged class.
How could the ministries lost or anv
national policy be permanent which
rested on parliamentism divided into
groups, pursuing nothing but clique in
terests. 1t was notorious that some
ministers had drawn money from the
public treasury in order to SECURE elee-
torate votes. At this point, the General
was again interrupted by cries of dis
sent and the p esident of the
chair asked him TO withdraw his
statement. General Boulanger d. clined
saying they had no intention of attack
ing the ministers. Continuing, he
asked whether the President for the
Republic was really Dece ssity, end
whether France could not do without
a President. The President of the
Chamber here advised Boulsneer that
1t was time to bring his spesch to 81
| close. The General, in conclusion, said:
France, reconstructed, should promise
the continuity of her foreign
| relations. Supported by a powerful
army, she would become the best guar
anty for the peace of Europe. M. Flo
quet credited Boulapger witha desire to
calm the Impotence of the electors by
production of mis- motion, fearing that
1t would merit the epithet of do
nothing DICTATOR The motion WIS
rejected by 377 to 1856. NJ. Pyatt re-
called the fact that General Boulanger

General M. Flouquet reminded him
that at MS age, 81, great Napoleon had

Sheridan.

WASHINGTON, June 4. - bulletin
says: General Sheridan had hemorl hage
this afternoon which induced a re-
carrence of heart failure. He was on
the verge OF dissolution. Although he
rallied, his condition is still most pre-
carious.
General Sheridan is now weak and
exhausted, and IN cUmoiose condition.
he mas only rallied very feebIy from
the attack which nearly caused his
death. Ii morrhage which nrecadsd
the attack OF heart failure, came from
the lungs, but was not accompanied nv
coughing. The blood emitted was darR
and thickly cloEted. A recurrence OF
the failure followed clio; ely upon the
hemorrhage, pulse beat feebler and still
more feeoiy, the breathing crew er-
ceedingly labored and heavy, and the
sick mans face assumed a blUish tint.
HIS heart ceased to beat for q few
secor ds and the anxious doctors bend
ing over him thought all was oye-.
frlor to this time, however, no extra
ordinary measures had been taken to
prevent or lessen the attack which the
physicians knew YVES comlng, and the
system, when IL seemed that lie MAS
at an end, slowly and yeakIv
responded to the treatment admiuis-
tered, and gradu lily slight rally took
place. A galvanic battery was applied
to his neck and back, and at last the
patient was brought from the verge OF
the grave to consciousness again. He
lay back sehast, snd every one in the
room remained anxiously watching and
dreading a return of the attack. It was
the worst of all ATTACKS. He is ex-
tremely weak, but at times his mind is
clear, though the Intervals of

realize what is going OF around

A quartette, Lord, Remember Me-"
was then sung.
ELDER JOHN NICHOLSON
arose and delivered a lecture on THE
Study of the Doctrines of the Church"
He spoke at some length on
the method which should be pur-
sued by the young men of Zion
for the purpose Of informing themselves
on tine principles OF divine truth. He
showed how needful it was for the
young to qualify themselves as preach
ers OF the gospel. They should not
merely acquire knowledge of the Cos
pei but should learn to express their
views in a proper manner to others.
Public speaking should be largely
practised in this community. By do
ing this, they would find themselves
better prepared to 60 abroad into the
nations to proclaim to the rest of man
kind the principles of life and salvation.
Besides having authority to preach
they also should know what to preach.
He showed how they could, by
q practical method of study, ac-
quaint themselves with the gospel,
commencing with the first principles,
thus enabling them to meet the argu-
ments of the sectarian world. In clos
ing his remarks, Elder Nicholson de-
sired that God would bless his hearers.
It WAS then announced that Confer
ence be adjourned until 5 O'Clock in the
evening.
The anthem "Great and Glorious is
Thy name, o Lord" was sung by the
choir.

Relics of 6 Psrished People.

Inc Hemenvsy Archaeological Er-
 pedition, of vhich Sylvertsr Baxter, now
 iu this city, is the secretary, IS doing a
 good work in the exploration of New
 Mexico snd Arizona antiquities. The
 Gils and Salt river valleys have been
 the chief scenes of their lzbors, and no
 doubt much of benefit ts well ss of in-
 terest will result from the scientific
 study Of the remaips with which tbsss
 sections abound. Doe point has already
 been established-that the Pima Indians
 who now occupy that req on of country,
 have no characteristics connecting them
 with the ancient inhabitants. The skel-
 esons which bave been found show
 people ot mailer stature than the Pi-
 mas. snd much more closely resembling
 the Zuni and Pueblo Indians of this
 Territory. The researches also show that If these prehistoric people were the progenItors Of the modern ZuDi and
 Pueblo, the latter having largely retro graded from the sdvsuced civilization of their ancestors. This IS made manifest especially by the remarkable perfection they achieved ID agriculture, the whole country being rsmified by extensive and scientifically constructed systems of &C., queduct3.
 The photographs, or sympolic hiero- giyphs, cut or painted upon the face of the cliffs skIrting the valleys, have also occupied nc little of the attention of the expidiiIon. These especially abound In the Estrells mountains, near the Gila crossing, Iu ju1tsposition with these painted rocks are generally found caves streved with broken pottery. The pie tographs consist chiefly of the forms of snimsle, but there are largely mixed among them circles, crosses, vOiutes and other fO ms indescribsble. They seem to have been engraved by some hard instrument upon the block weather stained face of the granite cliff, by which means White, indeli ble record has been left upon the dark back ground. The symbols to sn ordinary observer, seem | utterly devoid of meaning; but not more | co than did the picture writing of Egypt | or the srrov-shsped ins csiptiOns Of yet like the latter the ancient | American writing may g:ve forth Its meaning to the patient study of scIencr.
 The expedition has given attention to the matter of eye sight and color blind ness smorg the Pimas, together with | the interesting question of theIr muscu- lar reugth. It has also made collec- tious of their pottery and other arhcles of hsndivork, for the purpose of com parison with the remains taken from the ruined cities of the eItInct tubes. No tradition has been found among the present Indians bearing upon the iden- sity of their prehistoric predecessors, or upon the cause of their departure, or upon whence they came or whither they vent. The conclusion reached is that these ancient people lived at & period much more remote than has been pOpu- srly supposed.

A Salt River Shooting Scrape.
IGlobe Silver BeltI

Dave Freeman arrived ID haste from Salt rIyer, on Saturday evening last, to announce 6 serious shooting stfray which occurred that afternoon at the saloon of Wm. Beard, in which all the participants, Bob Pringle. Cap Adams and John Rhodes were wounded. Adams was the most seriously hurt Of the three, being shot through the right lung, tbe ball coming out at the back, below the shoulder blade, and the same shot Is supposed Co have been the one that struck PriDgle just below the left corner of the mouth, making sn ugly but not dangerous wound, A piece ot blue voolen cloth corresponding tO the shirt worn by Adams was taken from the wound. PnnRle was able Co get on hIs horse and come up ss far ss Wheat fields the same evening, and tie follow ing morning to Globe. Dr. Anderson, who was called from San Carlos to ex- anime and dress the wound, on bls Rr- rival found Pringls's face so badly swollen that he deferred @ critical exam instion until Wednesday when the in- fsmmstion and swelling had abated. and II vss thought that the ball, which hsd previously been located ID thethroat under the jaw, could be easily extracted, but it had disappeared and the efforts of Dr. Anderson and Dr. Stark 10 ind it were unsysIling. and they decided on Thursday to postpone further probing.
 Dr. Stark went to the river to attend Adams, and after dressing the wound returned on Sunday. He pronounced Adams injury dangerous, but not nee essarily fatal. Reports received from the river during the past few days are that Adams is doing ss well ss could be expected, and is likely tO recover.
 Rhodes, who fired the shot that did such execution, is said to have been wounded in the hand from shot fired by Adams. The two shots must have been fired simultaneously, as persons present and ID the vicinity were under the impression that only one shot had been fired. Ed Tewsksbury IS ssid Co have been present and witnessed the affair, and Frank Montgomery, who was tending bar at the tIms was near by, but, we are informed, claims that be did not witness the row. Ia fact no clear statement of the cause of the diff culty can be obtained. Rhodes gave his pistol up to Tevksbury and announced his willingness 10 go with him to Globe aad give himself up. Upon reaching Whestdelds. however, he apparently changed his mind; reaching over be took his pistol from Tevksbury's belt and shortly afterwards disappeared. Deputy Sheriff Frank Hammon went as far as the scene of the shooting in quest of Rhodes, but failed to find him.
