DETROIT, Mich, December 29-The
Tribune's special from Hancock, Mich,
says: A calamity not surpassed in the
annals of the country occurred at 8
o'clock this morning at Hurontown. A
family named Gross, consisting of the
parents and eight children, with a visitor,
we're consumed in burning dwelling.
Theodore Gross and wife returned from
dance near by at O'Clock. At 2 80
their son, Theodore, Jr., returned from
the Huron stamp mills, where he is en-
ployed. He went into the house and to
bed. Shortly after he was awakened by
his brother Nicholas, who heard screams
coming from an adjoining room, occu-
pied by their sisters and three lit
tie brothers. They ran to the door
and found the room q mass
of flames. Smoke and fire were ascend
ing the stairway, and the boys escaped
by jumping through window. They
reached the ground seriously cut by
glass and but sc ntily clad. One at.
tempted to enter the house on the ground
floor, where his father, mother and two
children slept, but was driven back by
the flames that enveloped the bdilding.
1t was impossible for the spectators who
had quickly gathered to save the in
mates. They were compelled to stand
by and hear their agonizing cries.
In the course of three hours search
ing party went over the ruins and discov-
cred the charred remains of eleven bod
les, distinguishable only by the size of
the bodies. They were gathered
in sleigh box and deposited
in the public hall. The victims
were: Theodore Gross, aged 81; his

range from to % years.
There is no reliable information as to
how the fire started. Theodore Gross
Jr. says it might have originated from 9
lamp that he supposed to be 'extin

are rumors that the dreadful accident
occurred through the carelessness of the
parents, who are alleged to have re
turned home intoxicated from the dance

DOM PEDRO'S GRIEF.
How the Ex-Empress Passed
Away
HER LAST PATHETIC WORDS
The Deposed Monarch Alone With
His Dead-Fears Entertained
for His Condition.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
OpoRro, December 29.-Dom Pedro
has receiv d many kilograms of condo
lence on the death of his wife.
Among them was one from Queen Vic
toria. When it became evident that the
end was rapidly approaching, the ex-
Empress was advised to summon con-
fessor. She replied: "Yes; but we
must await the Emperor. He will give
instructions.
Her last words were: ri regret that
my children and grandchildren are not
around me that 1 might bless them fol
the last time. Alas! Brazil. Brazil, that
beautiful country! cannot return
there!"
When Dom Pedro arrived beside his
dead wife, he knels and kissed her
forehead. He appeared unable to move
and did not speak for twenty minutes
Then he said: 81 have experienced the
most bitter trial God could infict upon
De. Her faithful and affsctionate com
pauionship has sustained me for forty
six years Gods will be DONE" Then
noticing his wife's eyes still open, he los
command of himself and exclaimed: SIS
it pos .ible those dear, kind eyes viii
never again brighten when they see me =
Having closed the eyelids he reverently
kissed them. He then asked to be alone
and go remained for long time, sftel
which he became calm and asked the at
tendants to keep quiet until the Lisbor
fetes were ended. The news had, how.
ever, already been sent everywhere.
Later in the evening Dom Pedro sent
dispatches announcing the death of hit
wife to the various monarchs. The Bra
lillian Minister at Lisbon has notified the
Provisional Government in Brazil OF the
| death of the ex.Empress.
Today the body was embalmed an(
transferred to Chapelle Ardente. Th,
interment will be in the Pantheon.
Dom Pedro rose early this morning ant
attended mass. He was greatly dejecte,
and so weak that his doctors were obliged
to support him. Much anxiety is felt TO
his condition.
! MADRID, Dec. 20 When Count an,
Countess D Eu arrived here this morn

the Empress of Brazil, and there was s
heart-rending scene at the hotel whe

TEE marvellous energy which the rail

TIE marvellous energy which the rail-
road companies are putting forth to re-
pair the damages done by the storm, en-
courage the hope that the trains will be
running on time as usual in few days.
The Southern Pacific has very hard
task before it. Soledad cailon for dis.
tance Of ten or twelve miles is scene of
washout and wreckage. Notwithstand-
ing the readjusting of that part of the
road six years ago, taking it out Of the
bed of the creek, and raising it on the
banks and running it through numerous
tunnels, all this at tremendous outlay,
80 severe and irresistible was the late
freshet that even those parts of the road
that were considered the best protected
have given way, and new roadways will
have to be built. But the company is
equal to the emergency, and has for
warded one hundred carloads of road and
bridge materials to the scene of action,
with very large force of men and con-
struction trains. These Will soon bring
order out of chaos, and provisional
tracks will be laid around the worst
places, 30 as to ensure a resumption of
travel at the earliest moment. In the
meantime some of their best engineers
are taking in the situation, and will be
prepared to carry out substantial plans
to make the road as invulnerable as pos
sible against another such visitation as
the cafion has just experienced. The
Santa Fe Company is also putting forth
the greatest energy to repair its roads.
The worst place it has to deal with is in
the Cajon Pass; but large force is at
work there, and the track will soon be
again passable. One good effect of the
late washouts and wreckage will be that
the companies will now be enabled to
determine the weak and danger points
on their roads, and strengthen them
against another storm. But it may be
many years before this section will again
be visited by so long, so persistent and
80 deluging rainfall as this winters.

THE DEATH ROLL.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December 29.-
Mrs. Robert Tyler died this morning,
aged "a. Mrs. Tyler was the daughter
Of the celebrated tragedian, Thomas
Cooper, and Mary Fairlie, noted belle
of New York. In 1910 she married
Robert Tyler, eldest son of President

years of President Tyler's administra-

vote as it stands the expulsion clause OF
the Socialist bill. This party now pro-
poses as compromise that it will vote
for the expulsion clause if the applica-
ton of that clause is limited to Socialists
as proven to be engaged in conspiracy
against the state, and if it shall not
apply to the mere advocacy of
socialism in the press or on
Bismarck will accept this compromise,
and an immediate political furore will
take shape from this as p starting point.
The liberal spirit of the National Liberal
party, quickened by the Dachlor incl
dent, will make it impossible for that
party to yield On this expulsion clause.
Without this party it can not be carried,
Prince Bismarck will draw the bill and
dissolve the Reichstsg.
The exchange of views with the Eng
lish Government regarding the deere OF
the Provisional Government of Brazil, cor
cerning naturalization, has caused Prince
Bismarck to abandon his intention to
take any immediate action. Recent dis
patches from Rio de Janeiro have infu-
enced England, Germany and Italy to
agree on ignoring the naturalization
decree, and other irregular acts of the
revolutionary leaders. The general con.
viction grows here that the new Govern.
ment is merely a military movement
which is unstable and will be swept
away even before the date to which il
has postponed the elections.
BERLIN, December 29.-It is semi-offi
cially Explained that Emperor Williams
remission of the fine of Editor Dachlor
was the logical sequence of Emperor
Frederick's press amnesty. This meas
ure applies to pending as we'll as com
plsted cases OF the kind.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.
The Imperial Fam1iy's Property
Not ConflscRted.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-The Bra
lillian Minister today received O cable.
gram from Barboza, Minister of Finance,
regarding the statements repeatedly
made that the Provisional Government
of Brazil had confscated the property
belonging to the Emperor. 1t gays
"The property belonging to the Imperial
family has not been confiscated; on the
contrary, the decree has guaranteed to
allow the Imperial family the term oi
two years within which to dispose of its
property"
The Brazilian Minister and Captain
Mauritz, delegate to the Maritime Con-
gress, who was present when an Associ-
ated Press reporter called to see the Min
lister, declared the firm belief that the
republic WAS as ured beyond question.
The reports of trouble, they said, were
all patched up in Lisbon by the enemies
of the republic.
With regard to the report that Ger
mans and other colonists had petitioned
their Governments for protection against
the decree of the Provisional Govern
ment, Valenti and Captain Mauritz said
this was mistaken understanding of the
intention of the Government. The de.
cree issued declared all foreign residents
within the country at the time the re-
public was proclaimed to be citizens of
Brazil, unless they preferred to continue
their allegiance to their own country.
There was nothing compulsory about it.
There seems to be a growing feeling
among Brazilians here in support of the
republic, and of opposition to the mon
archy. This feeling apparently is due to
considerable extent to the supposed at
tempts at interference on the part of
European Governments with Brszil's ma
tional affairs. Even those Brazilians
who were formerly devoted to Dom Pc
dro, and for some time were not friendly
to the new Government, are now strong
adherents Of the repnhlic.

BERLIN, Dec. 29.-All society is now
intensely interested in the coming fancy
dress ball which the Emperor is to give
at the Schloss, where every one of the
guests must appear in Oriental costume.
An exceedingly interesting discussion
is being carried on in private life every
where, and not without much heat,
OF ths queer proceedings Of the
Emperor in renitting the fine
OF 400 marks inflicted upon
DR.. Dachlor. editor OF the
Stootsburger Zeitung, conservative
sheet which ibeled Honsinger,
the Socialist. 1t attacked him vigor-
ously because he posed publicly as So
cialist and friend of the people, while in
fact he is the head of factory for max
ing women's cloaks and similar gar
ments, in which the "sweating" system
is practiced at the expense of the many
girls employed by him. Honsinger ap.
pealed to the courts. The editor
was condemned and paid his fine
in August. This fine was re-
turned by the Emperor on Monday
last. Such use of the royal prerogative
naturally surprises the people. Hitherto
the exercise of royal clemency has
been restricted to state cases. For tie
Emperor to thus interfere and stand be-
tween justice and an accused person in q
mere case of private interests, is 30 plain
substitution of royal caprice for
the law of the land, that every body
can understand it, and therefore every
body is profoundly moved by it. Jour.
nails cannot ignore the subject, but they
are obliged to touch it with the greatest
caution for fear of prosecution. Liberals
OF all shades discuss it in private, how
ever. 1t is the universal theme. The
Nationalists intensely regret the incident,
as 1t plays into the hands of the progress
sionists and Socialists on the eve of el lec-
ton, with clear demonstration of the
gross abuse Of power.
This incident will confirm the Ma

AN ECCENTRIu SPOUSE.
Judge Barreat's Wife In a Foreign
InBane Asylum.

New York, December ga cable.
gram was printed this morning to the
effect that the wife of Judge Barrett, of
the New York Supreme Court, had been
confined in an insane asylum at Dresden,
by order of her husband, and that she
claimed to be sane. Judge Barrett. upon
were these: He married his wife twenty
years ago; some years afterwards she
began to show mental peculiarities. He
sanity was hereditary in her family.
Her mother died of softening of the
brain. Her father, Mr.. Fairfield, was
known as "The Crazy Poet" Her
grandfather died of insanity. Her sister
had been for twenty-five years in the
Georgetown insane asylum. Both her
brothers died insane.
Mrs. Barrett's eccentric and insane
actions caused the husband much trouble
for number of years. Her chief de-
lusion was that people we're trying to
poison her. She finally went to Europe
to escape the poisoners. Her condition
has steadily grown worse. The Judge
hesitated long as to what duty required
him to do. Finally Mrs. Barrett's
actions attracted the attention of
the Dresden authorities and United
States Consul Mahon. Upon the
advice of physicians it was
deemed best to send the lady to re-
treat for the insane, where she is receiv-
ing the best of care. Judge Barrett has
always tried to induce his wife to return
and live with him, but she would not do
SO, and seemed happy only when fit
ting from place to place in EUROPE. She
had tried to get divorce, one of her de-
lusions taking the shape of baseless jeai-
ousy, but the Judge would not consent to
divorce, regarding it as his duty to her
and his daughter to care for her and his
wife as long as she lived.

TWO NARROW ESCAPES.
An Indiana Joilbird's Life Twice
in Peril.

BRAZIL, Ind. December 29.-James
Dahlgren, who was jailed here few
days ago on the charge of forgery, had a
narrow escape from death yesterday. 1t,
was believed that he was the man who
assaulted Miss Clara Warner several.
weeks ago, and yesterday her father
brought her to the jail to see. She.
promptly identified Dahlgren as the mis-
creant, and her angry father drew re-
volver and would have shot him had il
not been for the Sherif's interference.
The story got abroad in town, and last
night an angry mob gathered with the
purpose of lynching the brute. The
Sheriff got wind of their intention, how
ever, and placed such guard at the Jail
that the mob gave up the scheme.

WILLIAM EwART GLADSTONE, the
"Grand Old Man." the one that is after
all perhaps destined to rank as the
grandest of all Of his time, yesterday
celebrated his eightieth birthday. He
no doubt attended the little parish church
at Hawarden, and today he is likely to
cut down tree to prove his vigor is not
decreased. He received congratulations
from all over the world, from
crowned Kings and humble peas

Psalmiet was wrong in the case
of one of Adams race, for he has reached
four score years, yet his strength is not
labor and sorrow. But then Gladstone
is modern Moses sent to lead the sons
Of Erin out of bondage, and like his
Hebrew prototype, his eye is not dim
nor is his natural force abated. He will
live to see Home Rule secured to Ire
land, and if the age of miracles were
not passed one might we'll look to see the
chariot Of fire sent to take him to bliss.

Stanley and Bonny in the Emin Relief
Committees action against Tippo Tib.
They testified that Tippo Tib broke his
contract with view of obtaining all the
stores and ammunition belonging to the
expedition, and that Tippo Tbs nephew
executed some natives who were trying
to re. victual the expedition, thus causing
a high rate of mortality among Stanley's
followers. They also accuse Tippo Tib
with providing 430 Mauyemss in June,

LAWRENCE, Mass, December 29.-To-
day the body OF Miss Sarah Nichols was
found frozen in the ice on the Merrimac
river. Miss Nichols disappeared from
Lowell on Christmas Eve. She resided
in Belvedere and was recently swindled
out of 81 900 by Charles Metcalf, to whom
she had at one time been engaged. This
caused dependency and led to her
suicide.
Metcalf came to Lawrence from Cali
fornia, where he claimed to be we'll con-
nected. After becoming engaged to Miss
Nichols he induced her to entrust him
with her money to invest in California
mining stocks. 1t soon became apparent
that he was swindler, and last week he
was arrested and placed in Jail.

In SPITE of the fact that Los Angeles
has lost by the cutting off of Orange
county large slice Of territory, val
ued by the Assessor at about $40 000, 900,
we are still in assessed wealth the Sec
ond county in the State. San Francisco
of course comes first with valuation of
s291, zoe, ,433. Then follows Los Angeles
with $S4, 376,319. Alan eda holds third
place, her assessment being $71, 1896, 1872.
Santa Clara is next, with $53 900. 900,
and then comes San Joaquin with $685.
100000 OF taxable property. Sacramento
and Fresno are assessed at about the
same figure, $34, ,000,00 each, and San
Diego and Sonoma run neck and neck
with $S1, 900, 900 each. The rates of tax
alton in these rich counties ought to be
comparatively light for the reason that
county expenses should not increase with
growth of population and wealth. But
in spite of what ought to be we are con-
fronted with the fact that San Francisco
with her heavy tax roll pays a
rate of $1.722 ON each 500, Los
Angeles, the next richest county,
pays $3.50 on property inside cities and
$l.S0 outside, where the 30 cents road tax
is added. Alameda, the next county in
wealth, pays rates of $1.15 and 81 As.
Santa Clara pays the same rates, and SC
does Santa Barbara, the former having
an assessed value of much less than one

A TOAST TO TEE QUEEN.
sexton Gives Her Majesty a Very
Broad Hint.

LONDON, December ga remark by
Sexton at his farewell banquet in Dublin
last night has caused some comment in
political circles. In toasting the Queen,
a necessary ceremony which is generally
gone over with as little grace as possible
by the nationalists on such occasions
Sexton said: ''The nationalists will
vote for royal grants as long as Her
Majesty does not refuse to sign measures
enacted by the people," This may be
taken in double sense-as an indica-
ton OF loyalty to the crown, and as
limiting at the fear that the Queen may
some day abuse her prerogative by mega
tiving the will of the people as expressed
through parliamentary enactment favor
ing Irish self-rulo,
