Five Men Killed.

A horrible disaster, resulting in the death
OF five men occurred on the grounds OF the
Stevens Point Water Works company at
Stevens Point, Wis. A detective scaffoldino
inside the standpipe collapsed and precipita-
ted five men to the ground, a distance of
ninety-fve feet mangling them beyond recog-
pipe at the time, and when without a mo-
ment's warning the staging gave way five of
them barely had time to spring for their
lives and catch at the brim of the pipe. The
other five were at work a few feet below the
zig, and as they had no support to cling to
were carried down the long shaft with the
treacherous staging and four of them met
instantaneous death upon the solid masonry
below. The fifthI55a q few hours, but did

The five who were left clinging to the rim of
the pipe held brayey on, and with each 9th

the outside of the standpipe. j ohm Rowe, one
OF the survivors, was instrumental in saving
the lives of his fellows When he heard the
crash he clutched the rim of the pipe with
one hand and with the other grasped the
hand of the one next to him. j. M.

The Latest About STANLEY.

SUAKIM, Dec. 16.-lhe khalifas letter to
Osman Digna stated that q steamer eXpe-
dition to the equator. commanded by Osman
Seleh, on arriving at Lado, Osman Pasha
and a white traveller were delivered to them
in chains by Emin's officers and troops
Osman Seleh, in his letter to the khal1fa,
stated that he reached Lado on Oct. Il, and
the knedive had sent white traveller named
Stanley with a letter telling Emin to go with
Stanley, and Offering the remainder of the
force the option OF going to Cairo or re-
naming They refused to enter the urkish
service and gladly received Osman Seleh. He
heard that another traveller had visited
Emin, but had gone, and he was searching
for him.
BERLIN Dec. 16.-Herr Merensky, chief of
the African MISSIONS thinks that Emin
may have been captured, but net Stanley
1t is more likely, he says that the white
Traveller referred to by Osman Digna is
Capt. Casate, the Italian explorer. Lieut.
Wissmann has received no counter-orders as
vet with regard to the relief expedition. If
the Osman Digna reports are true the Wiss-
mann ex petition will be useless. Some jour-
nails argue that it will take at least four
months to cover the distance which the re-
port, must travel from Lado, and that there
fore they must be false
SUAKIM, Dec. 16.-The natives do not be-
lieve that the equatorial provinces have sub
mitted to the Mahdi If they had, the ma
tives say. proclamations to the people of
Emin's territory and other official acts of the
Mahdi would have been made public and the
surrender of Suakim would have been de-
manded A coast guard steamer which has
just arrived from the south heard nothing
OF the alleged capture of Emin.
In the British house of commons, Lord
Randolph Churchill asked whether the re-

While Mrs. w. r. Palmer, wife of a promi-
nent farmer living near Fort Dodge, Iowa,
was working near a red hot stove her dress
ignited and she was literally roasted alive
dying after a few hours in most fearful
agony. There was no one at home at the
time of the accident except six small children,
who were compelled to witness their mot theirs
death without being able to render effective
assistance. The children also narrowly es-
capped the fate of their mother, the older ones
being fearfully burned about their heads and
hands while trying to save their mother.

Is Stanley Safe!

In the British house of comm ons, Mr.
Smith the government leader, replying to
Mr.. Wilfrid Lawson said that so far as was
known to the government the letter written
by Osman Digna announces the surrender of
Emin Pasha and a white traveller The gov
eminent had no means of knowing whether
these allegations were well founded. Mr.
Stanhope, minister Of war, replying to Mr.
Dillon, stated that the cost of the army of
occupation in Egypt during the current year
would be e11O.O00. This expense would be
borne by Egypt. If the operations entailed
further expenditures, the government
would consider how they should be met
The Egyptian government had approved the
sending of reinforcements to Suakim. 1t lis
rumored that Osman Digna in his letter ex-
pressed q willingness to surrender Emin
pasha and his white companion, provided
Egypt wonld agree to abandon Suakim. If
this proposal is not accepted, tits believed
that both captives will be killed Along with
his letter Osman Digna sent several Snider
cartridges, which he alledged were taken
from the travellers. The Zanzibaris in
Stantley's expedition were armed with Snider
rifles, but there were none in the possession
of the dervishes. Gen. Grenfell recognized
the letter which Osman Digna had enclosed
as the original one which he had drafted for
the khedive. Thus Stanley's capture is
virtually beyond a doubt. The Congo
State officials have not been informed OF the
matter.
Osman Digna's letter was a reply to Maj.
Bundles request last August for news of
Emin Pasha. The letter asserts that the
Mahdi has conquered the whole of the equa-
torial provinces. The Lado letters stated
that one white man escaped. 1t is reported
that the wounds of Osman Naib, the rebel
commander, are serious. Heavy firing con
tlnues.
The Emin relief expedition committee are
doubtful of the genuineness of the Osman
Digna.l letter They suggest that the khediyes
letter may be a copy stolen at Cairo, but
they think it more likely that Stanley sent
