HARTFORD. Conn.,, March 14.-Coroner
Sperry to-day published his report on
the recent Park Central Hotel disaster.
in which twenty-three persons were
killed. He examined fourteen witness
es, holding private and personal
examination In each instance. He
finds that the building was of frail con-
struction, but is unable to say whether this
had anything to do with Increasing the
loss of life, as no building probably could
have resisted the boiler explosion. The
boiler was we'll built and was six years old.
1t was left unattended from midnight I'M
til 5 A. NJ, except that George Gaines, the
colored night porter, who was killed, was
expected to have charge of the furnace.
The coroner finds that there was plenty
of water in the boiler at the
time of the explosion, and that the
disaster was due to over-pressure, the
safety-valve being out of order, so that the
pressure could not be relieved. 1t is clear
that all the outlets of the boiler were closed
that night, and that some person turned
on the drafts in the early morning proba-
bly, the porter. The coroner finds that the
engineers, Theur and Risley, were le-
gally responsible for the care of the
boiler, and he concludes: Il am forced to
the conclusion that the explosion was
caused by the willful negligence of Alex :.
Theur and Amos Risley. and that said

Anton Dumbacher's Peculiar History.

CHICAGO. March 14-Anton Dumbacher,
who was found insane to-day, has some
what peculiar history. In the fall of 1887
he was a Catholic priest at Green Bay, Wis
In some way q dispute arose between him
and the bishop of the diocese about some
tinancialmattersc connected with the church.
Father Dumbacher thought the matter
should be made public. while the bishop
thought it should be suppressed; The priest
defed the bishop and was expelled from the
church for INSTRUMENTATION. Father Dunn
bacher came to Chicago and joined the
Methodist church, though he was sure he
was doing wrong. as he was still at heart a
Catholic, He became acquainted with a
widow who was possessed of several thou
sand dollars and q grown-up son. The ex-
priest, after his marriage, tried to make a
living by selling books, but failed, and re-
lied on his wife for support. HIS action in
marrying preyed on his mind and he
brooded over it constantly until he became
insane. One day last week he snatched his
wifes wedding ring. You are not mar,
you are now disreputable woman" He
grew violent, and his wife and stepson
were Obliged. in self protection, to have him
locked up

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 1.-two
steamers sailed, yesterday, from San Diego
to Ensanada, and they were loaded to the
guards with miners and prospectOrs Gov
ernor Torres has telegraphed the Mexican
Secretary of War for additional troops. He
is fearful of bloOdshed and the feeling be-
tween the Mexican and American miners
over their rights to certain gulches in the
camp has so increased that a conflict seems
certain. Mexican troops are hurrying to
the mines from the City of Mexico. 1t is
also repor ted that a detachment of soldiers
from the Mexican barracks at Mazatlan are
en- route to Ensanada by special steamer.
At present there is force of thirty soldiers
at the mines. In the whole camp
are about one thousand Mexicans two hun
dred Indians and perhaps two Thousand
Americans. When the rush to the mines
commenced, ten days ago, the Mexican SOL
diers disarmed every American who came
into camp, but lately this method of pro-
cedure has not been followed. A gang of
Mexican horse thieves has been at work In
the camp for several days past. Three
horses were stolen on Monday. Clothing,
tools and provisions are stolen almost every
day. The schooner Ellen, which left San
Diego for Ensanada with eight tons of pro-
visions and seventy-six miners on board,
encountered a heavy gale and has gone on
the beach few miles north of Ensanada.
The vessel will become a total wreck. No
lives were lost.

truth. They spoke alternately. and when

would nod his assent. The confession was

part or solicitation on mine. 1t was made

BENJAMIN T. Metzon, who had been awak-
ened BY the connection, came to the scene
and told the jailer that he had better
hand over the keys, which he
did. The lynchers went to the cell
of Fletcher and carried him out. He
made no deInur whatever. The doors
to the Jail were fastened by the lynchers
and the keys turned over TO the jailer. The
negro was then hurried off and hung to the
limbs of a pine tree on the edge of the road,
about one and half miles from here. He
was cut down at about o'clock by magis-
trate Higgins. and coroner's inquest was
held A verdict was rendered that Ma
gruder Fletcher came to his death by being
strangled and shot by persons unknown to
the jury. Fletcher had four bullet-holes in
him. two in the right side. one in the back
and one in his hand. His neck was not
broken. He was shOckingly mutilated. 1t
as supposed that this was done prior to the

the Accused Deputies.
PARIS, March 14.-In the Chamber of
Deputies, NJ. Arene, amid noisy Interrupt
tions from members of the Right, read the
report of the committee which was ap-
pointed to consider the charges against NJ.
Laguerre. M. La:sant and NJ. Turquet. The
report favored the prosecution of the ac-
cused Deputies.
M. Sevaistre declared that the proposals
showed the imbecility of it's authors.
For this remark NJ. Sevaistre was severely
censured by the President of the Chamber.
NJ Laguerre then addressed the Chamber.
He averred that his party intended to pros
ecute its campaign practically and legally.
He would not appeal to the Chamber, whose
verdict was immaterial, but to the country,
which supported the Patriotic League. He
denied that the league was q secret society.
The real cOnspiratOrs were those who re-
Delled against universal suffrage. This
clique had seized the government, but uni
versal suffrage would have the last word.
Persecution and violence would only hasten
the hour when the country, disguised and
indignant would expel the Chamber.
The report of the committee maintained
that the Patriotic League was secret So
ciety. Referring to the fact that General
Duces, he expressed surprise that men call
ing themselves Republicans should form a
part of the pr9torian guard of the Fau-
bourg St. Germaine.
General Boulanger rose, and, crossing his
arms, defiantly regarded the majority. An
uproar ensued, during which M. THESE
was censured for apOstrOphizing the Presi-
dent.
Pa l de Cassagnac defied the Chamber
to prosecute General Boulanger.
The debate was clOtured-3lS to PA. The
Chamber then, by a vote of 3S4 to 227, au-
thOrized the government to prosecute the
accused Deputies. The sitting was then
adjourned.
AS a result of the heated debate, duels
are imminent between NJ. Aerne and Pro-
vOst Dealaunaise, NM. Burdeau and De-
Cassagnac, and MN. Pichon and Laguerre.
In the Senate to-day, NJ. Naquet said that
he would not defend himself from the
charges that had been brought against him
in connection with the Patriotic League
first, because he knew that the Chamber
had condemned him beforehand; and,
second, because the party to which he be-
lOnged never appealed except to universal
suffrage. He dilated upon his services in
the Republican cause, and expressed conf
dence in the integrity of the judges who
are to try him.
The Senate, by vote of 213 to So, sane
toned the prosecution of M. Naquet.

Burning of Portion of the Works Of the
Anaconda Smelling Company.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HELENA, NJ. T., March 1.-THE most dis
astrous fire in the history of the Territory
occurred at o'clock this morning
at Ana onda. the lower works of
the Anaconda Smelling Company be-
ing destroyed. The concentration and
stamp mill were saved. The loss will
reach 81 900 900, though Manager Daily will
give no figures. The fire is thought to be
the result of plot, as an excellent fire pa
troll is constantly on duty, but when the
fire was discovered it had such start
that nothing could be done. The
Anaconda Company is a member of the
copper syndicate, and its output is over
100000 pounds of copper month. The
fire to-day reduces the output about a
third. What is known as the upper works
are running full force. Upon completion of
the plant destroyed to-day the company es-
timated it would be able to turn out about
1900 900 pounds of copper per month.

capital of at least 100000. The board of
directors of the three companies have held
frequent meetings during the past month
to discuss matters connected with the deal,
and their decisions have been of such a

holders to put the seal of their approval on
them to effect one of the greatest metal
combinations in the country, and the great

LONDON, March 14.-The difficulties into
which the French copper ring has been
plunged have had a most depressing effect
here as regards French credit. Everyone,
however remotely interested, is awaiting
the outcome of the matter, and London
financiers fear that the worst phases of the
French crisis are yet to come, A rumor was

this afternoon, that the Govern
or and four directors of the
Bank of France had resigned, owing to the
banks action in helping the Compiler d.
Escompte save its credit by a large loan.
When the Stock Exchange closed, however,
the rumor had not been confirmed. Tele-
grams from Paris indicate that confidence
in the bank is shaken to its foundation,
and that further trouble is in store for
French investors. A meeting of the direct
ors of the Bank of England was held this
afternoon, and the deputy governor of the
bank made pertinent comparisons of the
