MANY VICTIMS.
Horrible Result Of Fire at Mime
apolis, MINI.
THE TRIBUNE BUILDING BURNED,
A Fire-Trap In Which Many Persons Were
Penned by the Flames, Ten OF
Them Meeting an Awful Fate
As Many More Hurt.
TERRIBLE SCENES.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 2.-Ten
human lives and $500, 900 worth OF prop.
srty was sacrificed Saturday night by a
fre that originated in the rooms OF the
Union League on the third floor OF the
Minneapolis Tribune building. The
Ore was discovered shortly after
10 o'clock by district messen-
Ter, and almost before an alarm could
Be turned in every door and window OF
the immense eight-story building was
belching fire and smoke. There were
upward of eighty men, including the
editorial staff and force OF compositors,
1T work on the seventh floor, and these
were penned in like sheep by the sheets
Of flame that separated them from the
elevator and stairway.
The only exits to the building, which
was, as usual, enormously supposed to
be fire-proof, were a narrow staircase,
scarce wide enough for two persons to
come down abreast, the elevator and a
single fire-escape at the north end OF the
building. Several persons had made
their escape in the meantime, but in
less than ten minutes the flames sought
the elevator shaft, which, acting as a
mammoth fue, conveyed the fire to the
top story, and soon the editorial rooms,
on the same side OF the building where
the fire originated, were a seething
mass of flames. In few minutes 1t
reached the other side, where the COM
pOsing-room was situated.
So eageruwere the men to get out OF
their scorching prison that they would
have fallen headlong out Of the window
and been dashed to pieces on the side
walk seven stories below had not they
been restrained by their more cool-head-
ed fellows.
While the work OF rescue was going
on from the window where the crowd OF
printers and others had assembled, Prof.
Olsen, president of the Vermillion Is. ID.

THE TRIBUNE BUILDING.

University, met terrible fate. Prof
Olsen got out Of the window all right
and had proceeded down short distance
on the fire escape, when from some un
known reason he let go his hold and fell
to the sidewalk. A couple OF firemer
rushed in and carried him to the nearest
drug store, where it was found that he
was dead, his body having been terribly
crushed by the fall.
Seven bodies were found around the
building, all OF which have been iden
titled. They were:
Milton Pickett, assistant city editor OF the
Pioneer Press James f. Igoe, Associated
Press night operator; Walter Il. Miles, nigh,
agent and day operator OF the Associated Press
Edward Olsen, president OF the University Of
South Dakota ut Vermilion; w. II. Millman
commercial editor Of the Tribune; Jerry Jenk
inson, printer; Robert McCutcheon, printer
Other bodies are known to be in the
building but just how many is uncer-
tain. Two men who could not be iden-
tilted shot themselves rather than be
burned to death, and the body of man
caught in the ruins il in plain sight OF
the crowd on Fourth street. 1t Is believed
that the number OF victims will reach
twenty and perhaps twenty-five, but un-
til the debris cools of positive informa-
ton as to the loss can not be obtained.
The last man Of the Tribune editorial
staff to leave the building was Charles
ALI Williams, the managing editor, and,
although himself badly burned about the
head and hands, he gives the following
statement OF how each of those above re-
ported met with his death, having been
an eye witness of the deaths of all but
one. Miles and Nil nan, together with
a number OF printers, started down the
fre-escape. A blast OF hot smoke and
flame struck Millman as he was
starting and he lost his hold,
and in falling knocked Miles of,
both falling from the seventh floor to
the ground, and at the sixth floor knock
ing of Pickett and Prof. Olson, who had
reached the fre-escape from that floor.
The four men in falling struck against
the lowest platform and bounded away
from the building and were dead when
they struck the ground. Wnen Williams
started down the ladder the fire was
burning his hair and neck and he mar
rowly escaped the fate of those who had
preceded him, the heat and smoke being
overpowering. The printers on the lad
der escaped with slight burns. Igoe and
Jenkinson sought to escape by the
wires, but had been so weakened by the
smoke and flames that both soon fell of,
striking on the roof Of the Tribune
boiler-room, Jenkinson being dead
when picked up. McCutcheon jumped
from the window ledge for the ex.
tension ladder, but his hands slipped
and he fell to the pavement A
net had been stretched to catch him, but
he was too heavy for 1t, and, striking
the ground, was SO seriously injured he
died soon after. Pickett, Igoe, Miles
and McCutcheon were married men, and
Jenkinson was to have been married in
. short time. Millman lost his wife by
asphyxiation couple of weeks ago, and
had lust resumed work. A dozen persons
were badly burned or otherwise injured
In making their escape.

Riale's store yesterday morning to buy
some groceries, but when he searched
for his wallet it could not be found.
1t contained $55. Charley had ar
ranged to start out on his trip at noon
and told Riale to present the finder

School House Damaged.

Last Wednesday night-the night
before the ''bomb" was found on the
Rock Islands track at Twin Bluffs
the Strawn school house, about a mile
west ION the bluff of where the bomb
was found, was entered, possibly by the
same parties, and very much damaged.
The seats and desks were overturned,
the teachers platform moved out of
place. and the interior Of the place
looked as though the man or men had
made might OF II" there, and spent
the night doing as much damage as
possible short of tearing down or
burning up the building.

the upper floors after the elevator
shaft was on fire have been gen
orally commended, says that he
thinks there were still several people
on the eighth floor when escape was
cut of, and that they must have
persisted in the flames or fallen in
the wreck OF the building. He took q
couple Of women up in the elevator a
few minutes before the fire broke out
and says they did not come down again.
He says he did not know who they were,
but says they wanted to see the editor
Of the Pioneer Press,
The building, which stood at the cor
ner OF First avenue, South and Fourth
streets was an eight-story brick, and is
completely Quilted. In it were one
weekly and three daily papers. The
total loss is estimated at $500, 900. The
Tribune loss is placed at 10000, with
$40, 900 insurance; the journal loss is
$40, 900 and it is half insured, and the
Tribune job Office lost $50, 900, on which
there was about S25, 900 insurance. Other
minor losses make the aggregate given,
and the insurance foots up Sl50,OOO.
Chief Stetson, Of the fire department,
LAYS the blame for the great loss OF life
to the lack of fre-escapes, and says the
department did what 1t could to save
lives, and il there was any delay 10 was
because life was considered OF more
value than property.

for their neglect in so doing, and de-
claring it to be a proper subject for IN

General Nettleton has written an
open letter in which he denies any con-

the death Of DR.. Olsen in the Minneapo-
lis fire caused feeling of sorrow in this
city. DIR. Olsen was about 40 years old,
a graduate OF the Chicago University,
and for several years professor OF Greek
in that institution. He was man of
large culture, spoke several languages
fuently, and travelled extensively in
Europe, and was among the best-known
OF the younger educators OF the country.
About two and a half years ago he was
called to the presidency OF the Univer-
sity of Dakota, founded by the Terrific
rial Government. Under his efficient
management the institution grew rapid
~, and at the time Of his death there
were over 300 students in the insti-
tuition, and President Olsen's faculty
numbered about twenty professors and
teachers. He took large interest in
the educational work at Chautauqua,
spent several summers at Chautauqua
Lake, and was known all over the land

Negro B:coi .nd Spinal Columns
indianapolis News.

indianapolis News.
Capt. 0. G. Terry, who has just re-
signed the position of executive clerk to
the governor to become a special pension
examiner, was born and grew to man
hood in Tennessee when slavery was in
its prime.
II saw enough of slavery myself to set
me against it," said the captain few
days ago in speaking OF this period of his
caseer. "In several instances I saw slave
children sold whose veins contained so
much of their masters blood that their
skins were without tinge of the African
color except in the invariable stripe down
the spinal column"
"What do mean by the stripe down
the spinal column' Why, 1 suppose you
knew the presence of African blood in
any person, no matter how slight the
proportion, can be instantly detected by
a dark line along the spine. Even an
octoroon, with complexion and features
purely Caucasian, invariably has this line
of blood. The mark is not always black,
but is considerably darker than the rest
of the surface of the body.
'Since you didn't know that perhaps
you don't know that negro child at its
birth is as light colored as white one.
You wouldn.t notice any difference in
the color at all. In three or four hours
after birth the skin begins to turn dark
and IN short time becomes as black as
the child is destined to be during its life2"

Lord Macaulay pays the following
beautiful tribute to bis lnother:-
"Children, look to those eyes: listen to
that dear voice; notice the feeling of just
a single touch that is bestowed on you by
that hand! Make much of it while yet
you have that most precious of all Gods
gifts. loving mother. Read the un-
fathomable love of those eyes, the kind
anxiety of that touch and look, however
slight your pain. In after life you may
have friende, but never will you have
again the inexpIessible love and gentle
way shed upon you that none but mo-
ther can bestow. Often do sigh in the
struggles with hard, uncaring world.
for the sweet deep security l felt when of
an evening, nesting on her bosom, 1
listened TO some quiet tale suitable to my
age, read in her untiring voice. Never
can l forget her sweet glances cast upon
me when 1 appeared asleep, never her
kiss of peace ut night. Years have passed
away since we laid her by my father in
the old churchya,d, yet still her voice
whispers from the grave and her eyes
watch over me as visit spots long since
hallowed to the memory Of my mother"

I'm No Hurry.

As evidence of how slow the president
is making changes in the offices, it may
be stated that the Russian mission, pay
ing a salary of $l7,5O0 a year, is still
vacant, and that democrats are still hold
ing the missions to China, $4,000 a year
Corea, $500; Bolivia, Persia. and Siam,
$4,000 each, and Liberia, $4,000. It
may be interesting for candidates and
others to know that in total of thirty
eight consuls general only fifteen changes
have been made SO far. The pay attached
to these offices runs up from $4,000 a
year to $4,000 year. OF a total of 15s
consuls of the second class paying an
average salary of $4,000 year changes
have been made in only one e-fourth. In
class three of consulships paying $1,000
a year and fees, out of a total CT twenty
four, changes have been made in only
two. Of the twenty-five lowest grades OF
consulshlps paying only few hundred
dolla year compensation, no changes
have been made.

An Underground Canal.

1.-THE strangest canal in the world
says an English clergyman, sis one ]
never saw mentioned in any book OF
newspaper. It is q canal sixteen mile.
long, between Worsley and St. Helens, in
the north of England, and is underground
from end to end. In Lancashire the coal
mines are very extensive, half the coun-
try being undermined, and many years
ago the duke of Bridgewater's managers
thought they could save money by trans
porting the coal underground instead of
on the surface. So the canal was con-
structed, the mines connected and drained
at the same time. Ordinary canal boats
are used, but-the power is furnished ~
men. On the roof of the tunnel arch are
cross pieces. and the men who do the
work of propulsion lie on their backs on
The coal and push with their feet against
the cross bars on the roof. Six or eight
men will draw train of over five boats.
and as there are two divisions in the tun-
mel, boats pass without difficulty"
