intervals throughout the dav, seriously
interfering with the arrangements for
the celebration. The parade, however,
moved at 10 O'Clock with 2,OO0 men in
line, representing the various trades
unions of the city. It was the greatest
demonstration made by organized labor
In that city for years, and was viewed by
large crowds along the line of march.
In the afternoon picnics were held at

grounds. at which addresses were made
by well-known local speakers.

ing firms being represented by large
floats, showing their products or the
processes of manufacture. A picnic aft
er the parade and dance in the even
ing closed the celebration.
The day was pretty generally observed
in St. Louis. A parade and a monster
picnic were the chief featul es.
At Des MONIES there was a parade
gotten up by the Trades Assembly and
participated in by all the labor organic
atoms in the city. The parade was one
of the largest of the kind that ever
turned out. After the parade, exercises
took place at the old county fair grounds,
including races, games and addresses.

One Hundred and Twenty-six Persons In
stantly Killed at Antwerp, Belgium.
ANTWERP. Sept. 6.-This city was
shaken from center to circumference
shortly before noon to-day by tre-
mendous explosion. Buildings were
wrecked and windows shattered for
miles in every direction, and the streets
filled with debris. One hundred and
twenty-six persons were killed and
many injured.
The explosion occurred in an immense
cartridge factory located on the docks in
the business center of the city, adjacent
to many large buildings and but short
distance from the Bourse. The immedi-
ate cause of the disaster cannot be
learned at this writing, but several hun
dred pounds of dynamite ignited in
some manner, and the explosion came
without warming. The great cartridge
factory was almost completely wrecked.
great tim bers being hurled in every di-
rection as though from a catapult.
On the docks close by the factory
were piled millions of cartridges, which
were being loaded onto outgoing ves-
sells. Adjoining are the two great Rus
sian petroleum warehouses, filled with
inhammables, which were fired by the
blazing brands thrown out by the force
of the explosion. Other large buildings
near at hand are in imminent danger.
The city is enveloped in smoke that
rolls up from the burning oil ware
houses in binding clouds.
Following the explosion a panic oc-
Cured on the streets. The Bourse was a
scene OF wild excitement, the great
building being crowded with people at
the time the disaster occurred. The
throngs on the floors made a rush for
the doors, and many people were in
iured in the jam. Brands and burning
tim bers from the cartridge factory fell
on the roof of the Bourse, setting it on
fire.
The streets in the vicinity of the
scene of the disaster are occupied by
police, gendarmes and troops, who
are assisting in the work of extinguish-
ing the flames, while priests and sisters
of charity are looking after the injured
and gathering up the bodies of the dead.
Up to late hour this afternoon the
relief corps had conveyed eighty in
.jured persons to the hospitals or to their
homes, a majority Of them being work
men. Several soldiers have also re-
ceived injuries.
The flames have reached the oil stored
in the warehouses, and $1,000 barrels of
oil are burning. The fire is spreading.
EDINBURGH, Sept. 6.-The colliery ex-
plosion yesterday resulted in the death

BIG BLAZE AT WINONA.
Loss of Over 100000 in the Lumber
Yards of Laird, Norton 81 Co.

Loss of Over $500, 900 in the Lumber
Yards of Laird, Norton & Co.
Fire started in Laird, Norton & Co.. q
big lumber yards on Front Street, Wi
mona, Mimi, about O'Clock on the aft
ernoon of the 9th. and before it could
be brought under control almost
the Yards was destroyed. The
loss embraced $4,000 feet of lumber, T.
OOOOOO shingles and 100000 feet of
lath, besides two brick storage houses,
tramways, wood, etc., making total
loss of $500, 900. There was an insur-
ance of $170, 800 divided among twenty
five mutual companies.
Laird, Norton q Co. are the Oldest

est in the Northwest. A brisk wind
prevailed during the blaze and it was
only with the greatest difficulty that the
flames were prevented from spreading
to the Empire Lumber Company and
the Winona Lumber Company, whose
immense yards and mills are directly
east of the Laird Company.
The fire broke out among the lumber
piles back of the blacksmith shop and
spread rapidly. The entire fire depart
granted from st. Paul, La Crosse and
save the lumber piles, and attention was
devoted to saving neighboring property.
At o'clock the flames were brought
under control, but the flames continued
to lick up the lumber in the yards. The
sawmills of the Laird, Norton Company
were saved only after hard fight.
The fire is hard blow to the compa-
ny, coming at the beginning of their
busy season, taking away as it does
almost their entire stock. This COM
pany lost 100000 two years ago by the
burning of their sAwmill. Several
hundred men are thrown out of employ
ment. The origin of the fire is I'M
known. Charles Grafton, while assist
ing in tearing down lumber pile, was
thrown from the pile by stream OF
water, striking on the ground thirty feet
below on his head, producing concus-
sion of the brain.
In the midst of the confagration the
city pumping works caught fire from an
overheated tiue, and it looked as if the
water supply was to be cut off, but the
engineer stood at his post, and by q
good deal of work the fire was brought
under control.
Other losses included VIM. Miller, ice
house, $3.50: John l.. Harris, wool in

Max Jacobson's Record Astounds His
Chicago Employers.
Max Jacobson, a defaulter, forger and
embezzler, was arrested at Chicago on
the Sd, as he was about to leave for
Europe. on complaint of the president
OF the Fidelity Casualty Company, charg-
ed with appropriating the funds of the
company. He has been high roller Of
late. Jacobson's previous record as
founded President w. A. Alexander.
He had been guilty of committing for
geries in Dakota, for which he served a
sentence OF four years in Joliet, having
been released but few days before ap-
plying to Mr.. Alexander for work. Furth-
er investigation developed the fact
that Jacobson had been using the name
OF the company to secure large sums of
money from bankers and merchants
about the city. It is learned that Jacob
sons father was leading merchant in
Vienna, Austria, and that his mother
bore the title of countess in that coun.
try.

HOW NAGLE SHOT TERRY.

The Deputy Marshal Gives the Circum-
stances In Detail in Court.
Deputy Marshal David Maggie was ex-
amlned in the Federal court at San
Francisco on the 9th, and related the d, :
tails OF the tragedy in the LatErop dining
room. He said that when Judge Terry
approached Justice Field he had no idea
he was going to make an attack, and be-
lore he could Interfere, Terry slapped
the Justice on the face with his right
hand and repeated the blow with his
left hand, striking the Justice a second
time on the back of the head Nagle
continued: Il was on my feet in an in
slant, and throwing out nv right hand
to keep Terry off, L shouted, stop that;
L am a United States offic, r. Terry
then directed his attention to me. He
had bis right arm in position as if about
to deliver another blow, and as
he turned his glance upon me he
looked like an infuriated beas. His
clenched fist Immediately sought his
bosom. Believing my lie was in dan
ger, Immediately drew my pistol with
my left hand, and catching it with my
right fired two shots in quick succession +,
and Terry fell to the floor. l believe
Terry would have cut me to pieces and
perhaps Justice Field if had not acted
promptly. He looked like maddened
giant. l knew he had always carried
knife, and l believed he had
one on him then I knew
him to be giant in strength,
and proposed to take no chances with
him. For that re,son | held my pistol
in both hands so that he could not take
it away from me. After the shooting
was over and | had got Justice Field on
the train again told the conductor to
look out for Mrs. Terry, for I did not
like to injure woman, but would sure
ly protect Justice Field.''

A Bessemer (Mich.) dispatch of the
Sd says: Everybody who had the re-
hottest connection with the capture of
the lone highwayman, Reimund Holz-
hay, is scrambling after a slice of the
big reward, and in consequence there is
the hercest kind of quarrel between
the numerous claimants. The result
Will probably be that it will be lost,
as IN the case of Prentiss Til
Ter, the express robber caught
in Milwaukee. The several rewards Of
tered for the capture OF Wisconsin g
Jesse James aggregate $500, but all of
them are surrounded with barb wire
fence. The Milwaukee & Northern
Company, whose train was robbed at
Ellis Junction, offered $500, but with
drew it only week previous
to Holidays capture. The town
of Belleville, ILL.,, where the
murdered tourist Fleischbein lived,
offered 500, and this sum will
probably be paid without question. Then
there are three 81 900 rewards, over the
payment of which there promises to be
a dog and parrot time. One thousand
was offered by the Post-office Depart
ment of the government. Post-office
Inspector Pulsifer said this forenoon,
as he took train south, that he did not
believe the government would disgorge
cent of 1t, because the local authorities
have positively declined to give up the
prisoner to Uncle Sam for trial as mail
robber.
"The reward offered by the Post-office
Department" says Mr.. Pulslfer, ''reads
for the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrator of other robberies of the
mail pouches carried on the Western
stage coaches, and if Holiday is convict
ed of murder, the conditions of the re-
ward will not have been complied
with"
Another reward of 81 900 was offered
by the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & West
ern claim agent, McKinlay, who was
here to-day, and said that the company
wouldn't bubble about the payment,
but was ready to pay. However" he
added, "the claimants must first settle
their quarrel among themselves. The
company will keep the money until they
come to an agreement" Then there is
the 81, 600 reward offered by the Wiscon-
sin Central Company, concerning which
nothing is known here beyond the fact
that it has been offered.
Up to date there are five principal
claimants, with a prospect that two or
three others will bob up when distribu-
ton day comes around. The quintet
consists of the two O'Briens, father and
son. who are the landlords of the hotel
at Republic where Holiday stopped,
Marshal Glode and Justice of the Peace
Weiser, who seized HOLIDAY when he
emerged from the hotel upon the street,
and the policeman who knocked him
nearly senseless with club as they
struggled on the sidewalk.

Forest Fires in Montana Believed to Be
Subdued by Heavy Snow and Rain.
A dispatch of the Sd from Helena.
Mont, says: The forest fires which
have been raging in the mountains for
the last six weeks are now supposed to
have been extingulshed by Q heavy
rain and snow which feIl last night.
In the vicinity of Eleston and Ten
Miles, snow to the depth of four
fires ragged ferceIy Saturday and Sun
day. Fifteen hundred people it is esti-
mated turned out at Elliston and other
places to fight the fire. They worked
all night Saturday, and until 1:30 Sun
day night. Many came out with scorch-
ed faces, burned clothing and blood
shot eyes. Huge cinders were
blowing in the air, and the ar
rival of rain or snow was never
so welcome as it was there. In the
morning the top of the range was COW
cred with snow, a very rare occurrence
at this season Of the year. The fire
still shoulders in the trunks of trees
and may take a fresh sta-t if the wind
rises. Many bridges have been burned
as we'll as miners cabins. The snow fall

The fire at Ten Mile was 8 fierce and
disastrous one. Sturrock & Browns
saw mill is mass of ruins. The tim
Der in that section was fir, cedar and
pine and was said to be the finest for
est in Montana. Hundreds of the trees
were four feet thick at the trunk.
There was one pile of logs which stood
twenty feet nigh and 800 feet long. The
area burned is very large and the occu-
patton of the woodmen in that section
is gone forever, as everything is burned
