of the building, they ran across the
charred remains of the dog that be-
longed to Lou Raymond, the Tribune
errand boy. The poor brute always at
tended his young master about the
building at night and was character In
a doggish way, and was the smartest OF
brutes. He was SpitZ by descent, and
had absolutely no love or respect for
any one save his young master. but the
boy could do with him what he liked.
The dog was up stairs when the fire
started, and descended to tine third floor

the First avenue end of the building. So
The wOrkmen were working last
night in removing the county safe that
was in the office of Surveyor Dahl, when
darkness put stop to their labors.
The counting room safe belonging to
the Tribune was removed in good shape.
early in he day. Tic Tribune-Star vault
was entered and the contents found to
be in good condition. The Tribune
vault was reached yesterday and the
upper door found to be open, as was
the Journals, and probably the con-
tents are all destroyed by fire. Day be-
fore yesterday John Fairly, the vault
expert, found the contents burning. and
the iiremen turned on stream of water.
The vault will be entered to-day. Much
of the hanging debris has been re-
moved from the walls and upper ruins.
There was no accident yesterday, but
there was scare among the oDloOkers
on First avenue during the afternoon.
A portion of the brick work fell from
the top of the ruins, and some of the
workmen and Onlookers narrowly
escaped being struck by them. The
ruins are yet full of interest 10 hum
dreds of people, and from early morn
ing to late at night there is big crowd
gazing on the monument of the fateful
catastrophe. The police officers say
that there are many men who have been
in constant attendance from early morn
ing to late at night ever since Sunday
morning.

HE MEANS BUSINESS.

Building Inspector Hazen Says
Fire Escapes Must BE Built.
Since the terrible fire at the Tribune
building there has been an unusual
activity in the building inspectors Of
flee. The entire force of deputies was
sent out to examine buildings which
were supposed to need better facilities
for escape IN case of fire. These exam
nations were Immediately followed with
notices to erect escapes, and it Is proba-
BILE that the law will now be enforced !;
aud if the escapes are not erected in
thirty days the people who disregard
the law will be taken into the municipal
court and fined. In speaking of the
matter Building Inspector HaZen said:
have repeatedly ordered parties-wealthy
men who own buildings where there are no
escapes, to put them up and they have
ignored my orders. They would say that
their building had been without escapes for
such and such time and they did not see
why should insist on their putting them in.
Now that this fire has occurred am certain
public sentiment will be with me in enforc-
ing the ordinance, and l am going on now
and compel the erection Of fire escapes
wherever they are needed. The cost of a
good fire escape runs from $500 to S4OU
and, on building like the Tribune, there
should be at least three OF them with plat
form or balcony at each window.

There We're Numerous Visitors at
the i:Oom That Afternoon.
1t now turns out that the old Republl-
can league rooms in the Tribune build
Ing had many visitors Oh the Saturday
afternoon preceding the fire. and that
Joe LOTUS was by no means the only
man who was there during the after
noon. He said that he was passing the
room at about 8 O'clock Saturday
evening and noticing the door ajar
about six inches opened it Il little far
Their and looked in. His brother. j. w.
LOTUS, the engineer of the building.
was with him at the time and lie did
not strike match at all while near the
room. He was only there an instant,
and then took the elevator and went on
down stairs. Engineer Lotus states
that he was not at the room after Tues
day. 1t appears that the feeling le-
tween Lotus and Miller, the elevator
man. is not the most pleasant, and from
this cause the slight discrepancy. w.
w. BardwpIl, a clerk for Harlan P.
Roberts, the attorney, also looked in
during the afternoon. Attorney For
restin was also among the number
who noticed that the door was open. NJ.
Rocks, tenant on the third floor; P. NJ.
Dahl, county surveyor, and Thomas
Boyle were also visitors at the doorway
during the afternoon.

mo ONE To BLAME

After four days delberati0n, the cor
Dner's iurv has rendered a verdict. 1t
finds that the men were killed by fall
ing from the Tribune building during
the fire Saturday night. The verdict,as
signed by the jury, covers thlrty-eight
pages of closely written legal cap, and
is a calm, dispaSsionate review OF the
testimony taken. 1t is not the kind of a
verdict the public mind had expected,
or was prepared TO receive. That some
one was to blame for the death of the
ten every one in Minneapolis was sure
of. Who that somebody was the cor
Oner'S Jury was expected to determine.
The Jury. by its verdict, which brStleS
with meaningless generalitieS, mas
placed the blame nowhere. but LETT
the matter just about where II was De-
fore the inquest. They intimate IN q
manner that the Tribune building was
q mandatory and should nave oeeh
supplied with fire escapes. Inc jury
finds that if the building was manu-
factory the city officials were derellct in
their duty in not enforcing the law.
The Tribune Building company is held
to be morally, if not legally responsible
for the death of the men, while the hre
department is commended Tor its eX-
cellent work. The jury recommends
that the council amend the building or
dinance so as TO provide forthe appoint
ment of an inspector TO look after hre
escapes, and it also recommends the
purchase of more life-saving ap-
paratuS for the use Of the fire
department and the constant drill
ing of the fiFemen in the use
of those appliances. AS for fixing the
blame on any one, the jury is silent.
If this is true, it says so and so IS TO
blame. If the proposition is not true,
the public is lett in the dark. Taken as
whule. the verdict is not the kind
which does justice to the individual IN
telligence of the JuTymen, or satisfies
the average citizen. There is appar-
emily an effort on the part of the jury to
be guarded IN what it says: and, by It's
findings, il certainly cannot wound the
feelings of any one man or any set or
men. no matter how faStldiOus their
tastes may be. Certainly, better things
were expected OF the jury.

COMING TO THE FRONT,
MinneapOiirans Responding Nobly

MinneapOiiuans Responding Nobly
to the Cause of Charity.
The people of Minneapolis are coming
to the front right royalty in support of
the Press clubs enterprise to raise a
relief fund for the sufferers from the
late fire. As first announced, it was
intended that the affair would be a
ball, but there was some opposition
to it on the ground that ball would be
inappropriate. Therefore it was de-
cided to change it to grand prone
made concert, and there is 10 doubt but
that it will be fully as enjoyable as
would be ball. Col. West, i'm addition
to rendering the use of his hotel, will
put forth extra efforts to make the af-
fair social success, and, from the sale
of tickets thus far, there is no doubt as
to its being a financial success. The
magnificent hotel will be decorated spe-
cally for the occasion. Refreshments
will be served continuously throughout
the evening. Danz's full orchestra will
furnish the music for the promenade in
thelarge dining room land, in addition, the
Fort Smelling band will be stationed In
the rotunda, No effort will be spared
to make this one of the most enjoyable
social entertainments that has ever
taken place in Minneapolis.
1t has been learned that some of the
printers who were injured in the fire
are not likely to recover. Moreover,
there are several others who were so
badly injured that they will be unable
to work for some time, and the money
raised by the benefit will be used to
help them, as we'll as the families Of
those who lost their lives. The busi-
ness men-or majority of them-are
responding literally to the calls of the
various committees. Among the large
sales were 500 worth of tickets to j.

A Throng of Idle Gazers Still
Watch the Laborers at Their
Work.
The work about the Tribune building
ruins progressed quite rapidly yester-
day. The tenants were busy removing
what remained of their books and other
property, and there are numerous pri-
vate crews in their employ. The work
of erecting the scaffolding on the inside
Of the building did not progress very far
yesterday, and did not reach above the
second floor at dark. The main cause
for this was that the seaffolding must
rest in part on the debris within the
building. and the contractor wishes to
allow the tenants to remove what prop
erty they can before stopping the work.
One important find of the day was that
of portion Of the folding ladder which
was said to have been stored on the Sew
enth floor. Only twenty feet of the
eighty have yet been brought to light.
The question is. was the ladder on the
seventh flo II, or was it stored in some
other portion of the building.

ing the debris in the First avenue end

They Were Made Ill by Sausage.

n. L. Anderson, of this city, who

but does not live wholly upon sweet
mOrsels. Tuesday evening he con-
eluded that nice plate of 'red hOts'

chased them of Wachtsmuth, who
keeps q butcher shop at the corner of
Seventh avenue north and Third street.
After eating them he and his wife con-
cluded that they were not ION the
Square" Later Anderson was taken
with commissions, and Mrs. Anderson
also became sick. Dr. Mark. who was
called, believed that the sausage was
poisoned and the police will have it an
alyzed. Both patients have recovered.
WachtSmuth thinks the sausage was all
firht, as he had eaten some of the same
without being affected.

More Indictments for Colon,

It's just possible that before the
grandGury goes through with its work, it
will bring in a couple more indict
ments against j. Frank COLON, probably
for uttering forged notes. The reason
given for this is that on that Indictment
all of the alleged fOrgeries can be in

once for all. Collom's case, continued
from Hast term, may not came up be-
fore next week.

1t is necessary to write at this length in
regard to Electioneer, as he is the central
figure at Palo Alto.
There is also at Palo Alto the fastest son
of the famous Almont, Piedmont, 2:17H.
His foals, especially those from daughters Of
Electioneer, are without exception Of good
size, symmetrical conformation, high finish
and excellent trotting action. There are a
few two year Odds, but the greater number
of them are yearlings, and from this union
there viii undoubtedly come some first class
trotters The yearlinss by Norval, Ansel,
Clay and other sons Of Electioneer are also
remarkably fine They all act like trotters,
and are youngsters Of substance and high
finish, preserving in a great degree the Elec-
tioneer type.

In the year 1887 eight of the get,of Flee
tioneer entered the magic circle. They were
Ansel, 2:2O; Maiden, 2:23; Bell Boy, 2:26;
Whips, 2:27$l; Old Nick, 2:23; Stella, 2:231&5 (;
Clifton Bell, 2:24, and Eros, 2:2S1l. In the
year 1888 thirteen of the foals of Electioneer
trotted to records in 2:3O or better They
were Elector, 2:21111; Juno, 2:2S; Gertrude
Russell, 2:23; Azmoor, 2:249l; Morea, 2:25;
Arbutos, 2:271E; Cubic, 2:2S1l; Express,
2:29H; Grace Lee, 2:29H; Ella, 2:29; the
great 2-year-old Sunol, 2:1S; Palo Alto Belle,
2:2815, and Mortimer, 4-year-old, 2:27
The power of Electioneer to sire fast trot
tiers from all kinds of mares is especially
noticeable, and his marvellous producing
power is apparent in the fact that from
strictly thoroughbred mares he has sired fast
trotters, nor does it seem that his ability in
this direction is confined to one class of
thoroughbreds, or to mares of any certain
lines of blood.
OF the thirteen trotters by Electioneer this
year, three were out of strictly thoroughbred
dams. The list of his get from thoroughbred
dams to date is Ansel, 2:2O lin a jog; Palo
Alto, 4-year-old record 2:201l Quarter in 80
seconds; Gertrude RUSSELL 3-year-old record
2:23; Azmoor, 2:249l; Whips, 2:271f; Cubic,
2:2S1l, and Express, $685.
The development of extreme speed at an
early age has been the aim at Palo Alto The
results are beyond the most sanguine hopes of
the friends of Electioneer Kinda Rose has
yearling record of 1861, which stood I'M
challenged for six years Norlaine, a grand
daughter of Electioneer, holds the worlds
yearling record of 2:3159. Kinda Rose in
1883 trotted to a3-year-old' record of 2:19I%,
which was undisturbed until 1887, when it
was beaten by Sable Wilkes, 2:18 Man.
zanita holds the 4-year-old record of 2:16, and
the nearest approach to it is Susie S. Is mile
in 2:1S
Wildhower, in 1881, astonished the world
by trotting 2-year-old record of 2:21, which
was never approached until in 1888, Axtell,
by William L., trotted in 2:23, while fort
night only elapsed until the 2-year-old Elec-
tioneer FLY Sunol trotted in 2:201S, and
fortnight later in 2:1S This gives to Palo
Alto the fastest yearling, 2-year-old and
4-year-old trotting records. Electioneer's roll
of honor now embraces nine trotters with
