Valuable Machinery, a
Mass of Ruins.
Story Of the Terrible Death Of
a Woman Of Eighty in a
Burning House.
Five Persons Dro wned by the
Sinking of a Barge--The
Savannah Fire.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 1.-THE eX-
tensive AK. shovel and saw factories of
Hubbard & Co., located at the foot of
Forty-eighth street, were completely
destroyed by fire this morning, entail
ing loss of fully half a million dollars.
The fire was discovered in the shovel
factory about 10:30 O'Clock this morning
and spread so rapidly that in twenty
minutes after the fire department ar
rived the four immense buildings were
in flames. The two main buildings
were each 326 by 60 feet, and the
other two buildings were formed as
LIS" each being about 150 feet long
and so feet wide. The buildings were
all frame, and being more or less sat-
urated with grease, burned with such
rapidity that the most heroic efforts
put forth by the fremen failed to stop
the fire in the least, and in less than
two hours and half the entire plant,
with its valuable machinery and stock,
was mass of ruins. Only a small sec
ton of what had been used as the Office
was left standing, and this was so badly
scorched and damaged that it was in
danger of falling at any moment. The
wind was

and it was feared the adjoining foun-
dry of McConway, Torley & Co. would

men saved it and prevented the flames
from spreading further. Mr. Hubbard
states that the loss of the buildings,
machinery and stock will be fully $780,
600 and that it is nearly covered by in
surance, but in what companies he
could not state, as the insurance was
placed by local agency. Mr.. Murphy,
the general manager, stated that there
was an immense stock of goods on
hand, which had been piled up during
the winter, because of lack OF orders,
and that $50 dozen of axes were boxed
| for shipment tomorrow morning. The
firm employed $50 men, who will be
thrown out of employment. pending the
rebuilding of the plant, which will be
done Immediately. The large plant of
| the firm at Beaver Fails will also be
forced to close down, as the stock foI
the ak factory there is furnished from
the works in this city. The origin OF
the fire is mystery. Mr.. Hubbard
stated that no fires were burning about
| the works.

and enter Oklahoma at noon the next
day. Mcclure gave glowing deserip-
ton of the new territory, and ended by
stating that he was bound to be on hand
when the land was parceled out if he
had to walk the whole distance and make
the journey alone. Frank Taos, cow
boy, who had been across the territory
several times, described the land and
spok of the danger the new settler will
have to avoid. He said some of the
country was well-watered, but that a
great deal of land would have to be irri-
gated. Others spoke, declaring that
there were already more men waiting to
enter the territory than there were
homesteads of 16O acres each. A news
paper clipping was read, which stated
that there would be much fighting be-
tween settlers and squatters, and that
murder promised to be as common as
pre-emption. Notwithstanding these
discouragements, almost every man in
the room manifested a willingness to
join the colony. Among them were
clerks, small storekeepers, idlers and
workmen, but all alike seemed pos
sesSed of the boom spirit.

Special to the GLOBE.
BISMARCK. Dak., April 1.-THE re-
port that the commission would soon be
appointed by the president to confer
with the Indians for the opening of
the great Sioux reservation is received
with much interest among the Indians
at Standing Rock, who are headed by
Sitting Bull, Gall, John Grass and the
other notorious chiefs. The Indians
are pleased with the action of the gov
ernment in increasing the price
to be paid them from so cents
per acre to s1.25, and many
of them have already expressed
their Willingness to accept the terms of
the treaty. Even Sitting Bull and Gall,
who were so bitterly opposed to the
treaty submitted last year, have given
utterance to friendly expressions, and
there is little doubt of success. A re-
cent arrival from the Standing Rock
agency says he is positive that Sitting
Bull and Gall will accept the treaty,
but that the commission should be so
selected that it will know how to deal
with the Reds. which was not the case
with the commission of year ago that
was controlled by Capt. Pratt.

chance of getting homestead. The
new territory is to be thrown open

MET AN AWFUL DEATH,
A Widow of Eighty Dies in the
Flames in Ohio.

STEUBENvILLE, O., April 7.-Bridget,
widow of the late William Kelly, living
in small house between here and Ali
kama, was burned to death last even
ing. She was about eighty years of
age, feeble and childish. Her era ndson
left her alone to come into town. Patsy
Powers, boy, saw smoke issuing from
the windows. and gave the alarm. Eu-
gene Calvin and some hands from the
Alikanna mill went inside. They found
the poor old lady lying on the floor,
with her feet close to the fireplace and
her body burned brown and to a crisp.
He clothing and hair were burned off.
The stencil was sickening. The rag
carpet was burned and smouldering
around her for some distance The
cloth upon the table, where she had evil
IDENTIFY attempted to get her supper to-
gether. was burning. When they took
hold and carefully lifted her on the bed,
their hands stuck to the burned flesh,
and yet she was alive and moaning, liv-
ing for an hour in terrible sugering. 1t
is strange coincidence that her mar
ried daughter. a Mrs. Yocum, was
burned to death in the same house a
few years ago.

THROUGH CENTRAL AMERICA.
A Newspaper Syndicate to Do a
Little Exploring.

Little Exploring.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April IA strong
newspaper syndicate, composed of some
of the leading and greatest dailies in
America, has just been consummated
by Mr.. A. ]. Miller, of this city, for the
purpose of a scientific exploring eXpe-
dition to the unfreQuented portions of
Central America. The syndicate is
composed of such papers as the
New York Sun, Louisville Courier
Journal, st. Louis Republic, and others,
Including the Tribune, of this city, of
which MIR. Miller is the present
editor. The expedition will consist
of Mr.. Miller as manager: Prof.
dermist: Prof. j. Roy Brown. geOlogist
and archeologist, and William I'll. Ven
able, of Atlanta. The will be joined at
Belize, British Honduras, by DIR.
Thomas Fl. Ross, who precedes the
expedition to make certain preliminary
arrangements. The expedition will sail
from New Orleans on May l, and first
visit Northern Guatamala and the
region of Lake Petin, the ancient
home of the Mayas and ItZaes. From
thence they will visit all of the five
republics. The primary object of the
expedition is to explore those por

heretofore remained terra incognita
to the outside world. A special
effort will be made to discover the
source of the Rio Wanka, in Honduras,
and determine its possibilities as
commercial highway. To this end they
will receive the moral aid of the gov
ernment of Honduras and the new king
of the Mosquito territory. The eXplora-
ton of this great stream has been un-
successfully attempted by the late
lamented E. 6. Squier and other travel
ers, but the savage tribes of that sec
ton have always proved all insurmount-
able barrier. But more favorable con-
ditions now exist, and Mr.. Miller is
sanguine of success and bringing to
light all of the resources of this
section to which the recent death of
old Mosquito king removes the chief
impeachment. The expedition expects
to complete its work in six months.
This is the second journey made by Mr..
Miller through Central America, and
his experience, familiarity with the ma
tives, their language and customs will
be valuable to the present enterprise in
exploring Americas ''dark continent"

SIMPLY DROWNED.
The Body of Adam Heilbrun
Found in Lake Erie.

ERIE, Pa, April THE sea gave up
its dead to-day, and explained away
the mysterious disappearance of Adam
Heilbrun, the missing butcher, who
WAS supposed to have been mur-
dered in the vicinity of Girard
last fall. Heilbrun's horses were
found drowned in Elk creek at the
time. His body could not be found,
and as he was known to have money,
and his papers being found on the
shore, the circumstances gave ground
for the suspicion that he had met with
foul play. Heilbrun's body was found
FIVE miles from where he lost his life,
and in the lake. His watch, jewelry
and a good-siZed sum of money were
still on his person. His family, in Pc
ducah. Ky,, have been notified.

Cornwall & Chipman's stock of stoves
and household furnishing goods in
the next store. was completely de-
stroyed; Lindsay & Morgan, furniture
dealers in the next store had stock
valued at $4,000 and carried an insur-
ance of about three-fourths that
amount. The building was occupied by
the laSt-named firm and was owned by
the estate of Edward Lowell. The total
number of buildings burned is esti-
mated at fifty. The present prospect is
that the larger and finer ones will be re-
placed by new ones equally as good as
those DESTROYED. The sites of many of
the inferior structures now gone will be
covered by buildings ttat will be a
great improvement over the old ones.
The loss of the Independent Presby-
terian church and chapel, the guards
armory, the Odd Fellows building, the
Hanley building and Hogan q Doug
lass block, however, are greatly to be
regretted. No loss of life or serious in
jury to person occurred, and last nights
dispatch covered the confiagration so
fully that little or nothing is left unsaid.
At midnight the total loss is estimated
at 1000; total Insurance, S500,000.

In company with NJ. o. Ayers and w.

middle of the river to hunt. He shot a
water fowl that fell in the middle of
the stream and went after it in boat.
While returning the boat was over

panions. Ayers stripped and plunged
into the cold water, but was overcome
by the cold. and barely managed to get
back to the shore completely exhausted.
All this time Herweg cluug to the over
turned boat and drifted the length of
the bar, over mile, his companions all
the time urging him to make an effort
to swim or push the boat to the bar. He
was greatly frightened, and after the
boat drifted 800 yards below the point
of the bar, he let go. and at once sank
out of sight. Herweg leaves a wife
and two children.
