VIENNA, June 21.-The striking miners

Out of the age-Corporations

JoHNsTowN, June 2L-Work on the
wreckage has been generally resumed.
About 1000 men are at work of the Nc
have been discharged are walking about
the place seeking work from the con-
tractors. The authorities have refused to
furnish transportation to the strikers who
desire leaving here.
The Cambria Iron Company and Gautier
Steel Company to-day paid their men for
the first two weeks of May. The Cambria
company's pay roll aggregated S95,0OO and
the Gautier companys $4,000. OF the
5,400 employees OF the Cambria company,
but $500 are now at work, and of 8, 800 men
formerly employed at the Gautier works,
but $50 are reported living. The Cambria
company has shipped two consignments of
rails manufactured since the disaster.
THE AUTHORITIES HAVE WON.
There was no trouble among the work
men IN any way to-day, ana there seems TO
be a general belief that the authorities have
won the contest and are masters of the
situation. All the saloons are closed to-day
by order of Gen. Hastings, and there was
little or no disorder.
Thirty-two bodies were taken out of the
wreckage to-day, the largest number
found for several days. Six of
those recovered belonged to one
family and were found in one foun-
dation near their former homes Besides
the bodies, several parts of human bodies
were found. Owing to the fact that many
of the bodies recovered to-day were found
in cellars, Gen. Hastings has arranged with
Contractor Trippe, resident here, to put a
force of men to work in looking after the
cellars Of the city.
HUNGARIANs PROTEST.
New York, June 21.-A meeting of the

LOSS OF LIFR AT A FIRE.
Three Corpses Found Already and
More May be in the Ruins.

BOSTON, June 21.-A disastrous fire, ac-
companied by serious loss of life, occurred
early this evening in the fireworks estab-
lishment Of Heyer Bros, corner of Sum
mer and Hawley streets. Three dead
bodies have been taken out of the ruins and
three other persons received injuries which
VIII probably result fatally. 1t is feared
that there may bo more victims among the
debris. The building, which is a four-story
brick structure, is occupied on the ground
floor by E. Brown Millerens, and on the up.
per floor by Heyer Bros, dealers in fancy
goods and fireworks.
START OF THE FLAMES.
Shortly after o'clock, while a salesman
was waiting on a customer upon the second
1oor, he saw flash among some fireworks,
behind one of the counters, unaccompanied,
however, by any explosion. He ran for
water. at the same time giving an alarm.
The flames spread with almost incredible
rapidity cutting off the escape of several of
the me in the upper stories.
Charles Albert Gage, aged 20, who was
employed in the third story, hung from a
window until he was obliged to release his
hold, and then fell to the ground, striking
two awnings In his descent and breaking
his back. He was taken to the Massachu-
setts general hospital, and will probably
die.
VALUE OF THE STOCK.
The firm carried a stock valued at $780,
200. Most of this is ruined, though well
Insured. The fire was entirely confined to
one building. The employees were largely
foreigners and known to the firm by their
first names, and this fact may add to the
difficulty Of ascertaining whether or not
there are any other bodies in the building.
There was no gunpowder stored on the
premises; no smoking was allowed, and the
cause of the fire is, therefore, a mystery.
FIVE FATALITIES.
BOSTON, June %, 2 A. MA later and
more careful investigation places the num-
ber of fatalities at five, one other is prob
ably fatally injured and two boys are miss
ing. Heyer Bros. estimate their loss at
$25, 900 to 100000, upon which there is an
insurance of $40, 900 in fifteen companies.

Proposition.

Senator Hale Opposes the Civil Service
Proposition.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Hale
called on the President to-day on business
connected with the census bureau. The
senator is chairman of the census commit
tee and framed the law under which the
census will be taken. He agrees with Supt.
Porter that the census appointees should
not be made subject to civil service rules,
and so told the President Supt Porter has
had several conferences with the President
and protested against the proposal of the
commission to have appointments made
from the civil lservice examination He told
the President that there would be 1,50O
employees of only ninety days, six months
at the outside, and these 500 drawn from
every part of the United States
under the civil service rules
would be without employment at the end of
that time. Having passed the civil service
examinations and come to Washington at
the request of the commission the admins
tration would be in a measure responsible
for them, and would have them on its
hands, Mr.. Porter said to-day that Mr.
Roosevelt being a practical man he believed
he would see the force of this proposition,
and would not iAsist upon the request pre-
viously made by the commission.

NEW YORK, June 2L-Rev. William E.
Howard, who was convicted of grand lar
ceny in connection with the Electric Sugar
Refinery Company frauds, has been SEN
fenced TO two years and eight months in
the Sing Sing penitentiary at hard labor.
A motion was made for new trial on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to
law and on account of errors in the judges
charge to the jury. The motion was de-
MED. In sentencing the prisoner, the re-
corder said: "a greater fraud was
never brought to my notice.
You are a perjurer and hypocrite.
You went on the witness stand and perjured
yourself again and again" Howard had
nothing to say. He listened attentively to
TO the remarks of the judge, but when SEN
tence was pronounced he made no sign
either of surprise or interest. The trials of
the other prisoners in the case will be set for
an early day.
