sion in one short moment. The house shot
up and parted like piece OF fireworks,
falling buck as do the sparks from rocket
Many were buried und err the debris, and
frightened, screaming women and men ran
from the scene of disaster. A woman en-
veloped in sheet of flame ran from the
house acrsss the alley. a fireman, who

rotary of state, thereby refusing TO com
pei the secretary of state to accept articles

manufacturing and mercantile corpora
tions which have formed under it.

The sum of money recently given TO Mrs
Parnell, mother of Charles Stewart Par
nell, by her friends in America, TO enable her
TO meet the demands made upon her by
her creditors, was insufficient, and she is

from certain quarters was not forthcoming
and she is again in need of the actual ne
cessities of life, but will not make another
appeal 10 the public, as she feels that she
has received all that she can reasonably
expect from that source. Mrs. Parnell

IN MEMORY or MILLER.

All Keoluk Citizens DO Honor to Their
Distinguished Townsman.
KEoKUK, Iowa, Oct. 21.-The city Is
in mourning as result of the respect to
the memory of its late distinguished
townman, Associate Justice Miller, Of
the supreme court. Business is entirely
suspended, all the public buildings, as
well as many private ones, are draped
in black, and flags are at half-mast fly
ing throughout the city. The remains
arrived here in q special Car over the
Burlington road at $50 o'clock, under
an escort of a committee of citizens
which. met the train at Burlington at
1880 o'clock a. IN. Upon the arrival of
the train the remains Were conveyed to
the federal court building, where they
laid in state until clock, the Keokuk
Rifles, the Sons of Veterans and Ter
renee post q. A. r.. acting as guard Of
honor. Shortly after Q O'clock the fu-
neral service was read in the Unita-
rian church. The governor and state
officers, judges Of the state supreme
court, the judges of the United States
and county courts, and other judicial
officers, the members of the bar of JUS
tice Miller's circuit before his elevation
to the supreme bench, the civic and mil
itary organizations of the city, the va
rious labor organizations, the Grand
Army and other semi-military organiza-
tions and the school children of the city
took part in the funeral procession,
which was fully two miles in length.
The services in the Unitarian church
were very simple.

MUST HAVE LICENSES.

Banks Cannot DO business In North
Dakota without Charters.
GRAND Forks, N. D., Oct. 22.--In the
state supreme court a decision of con-
siderable Importance to the state was
handed downs test case to determine
the constitutionality of the act Of the
last legislature compelling bankers to
come under an incorporation law and
be subject TO rules and state inspection
by the public examiner. Marshall G..
Goodsell was the owner of private
bank in Steele, Kidder county, and after
the law went into effect sold a bill Of
exchange and was arrested and brought
before q justice for examination and
bound over to the grand jury. His at
torneys sued out of the supreme court
a writ of habeas corpus. and the case
was argued last week. The whole ques-
tion involved was as to the constitution
atty of the law. and the decision rem
dered holds the law to be valid. This
will compel all bankers doing deposit
and exchange business to take ont char
.ters and become amenable to the state
law.

WORK ON OUR NAVY.

All But Two OF the Proposed Vessels I'm
der Way---Thomas Monitor May Never
BE Built.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.--Of the eleven
vessels appropriated for by congress
during 1889 and 1890, but two remain to
be disposed of by the navy department.
These are the Thomas submerged mon
itor and the dynamite cruiser. The
Thomas vessel. it is thought, will never
be built, though congress appropriated
$1,500,000 for its construction. No
plans or specifications for it have been
prepared; in fact. the navy department
has taken no steps towards constructing
the vessel, and, as it is left discretionary
with the department whether the
Thomas vessel shall be built, the i'm
preston at the department amounts al
most to conviction that
Nothing win BE Done with II
and that the whole matter will be
pigeon-holed. The construction of the
dynamite cruiser will depend altogether
on the success attained by the Vesuvius.
Of the other nine vessels appropriated
for, six are now in course of construc-
ton and three are under advertisement.
The contracts for the three under adver-
tisement will be awarded Dec. 20, which
will practically put upon the ways all
the vessels appropriated for during the
past two years.

CHILDREN CRUSHED.
Fifteen Hundred Of Them stampeded by
Fire in a Chicago Church---Five will

Fifteen Hundred Of Them stampeded by
Die.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.--A small fire at
st. Stanislaus' Polish Catholic church,
on Noble and Graham streets, caused
panic, and a score of children were badly
hurt. Some of them will probably die.
About s a. IN. the Rev. Father Vincent
Barzynski was reading the usual mass
for the school children, when an altar
curtain was set on fire by one of the
candles. In less than minute all the
flowers and curtains. and everything
inflammable was sea of flame. Nearly
800 children, from to Is years of age
were assembled at the church. When
they saw the fire they were panic
stricken and made for the exits. ALI
the efforts of the Sisters of Notre Dame,
who have charge of the children, to
Check tho Stampede
proved Of no avail. The children rushed
toward the door and rolled down the
stone steps, followed by the crying and
screaming women that were also in the
church. The children that came out
first were the ones that were most in
jured. They were trampled upon by
the children and women following
them, who seemed utterly without rea-
son or presence of mind. An alarm Of
fire was sent in, aud the noise Of the
approaching engines, with the ringing
OF bells, made the panic still worse. In
less than five minutes after the alarm
was sent in over 10, 600 people assembled
around the church, while the
Panic Was at It's Height.
A patrol wagon from the Rawsont tpo-
lice station arrived and the police, with
the help of the fire department, began
to restore order. AT first they met with
very little success. 1t seemed as Il

DEATH IN A FIRE TRAP.
TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST IN THE LE-
LAND HOTEL At SYRACUSE.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct lS.-The splen-
did Leland hotel lies buried in its own
ashes, and the prophesy of hundreds
who viewed the building in the course
Of construction that it was fire-trap,
has been woefully verified. To give an
accurate description Of the horrifying
scene of its destruction, which began
at l2:45 a. m, would be impossible. To
those first OH the scene the cries of the
poor wretches doomed to death by the
slow torture Of fire were blood-curdling.
Pandemonium Rcigned.
Spectators glanced at the burning
structure for an instant and then turned
away. F'renz:ed people crowded to
the windows crying for help. The Hayes
truck was run up to the building and
an attempt made to hoist the ladder.
There was some hitch in the machinery
of the hoisting apparatus which made a
delay OF several minutes. At one win
dow on the sixth floor We're three
women, employees of the hotel. The
three women rushed to the window,
threw their arms about each other and
called for help. The crowd on the street
Could See the Flames Behind Them.
A hundred voices from the street call
ed to them to be quiet till ladder could
be placed, but one of the girls suddenly
stepped into the window sill and with a
cry, "rd rather be killed than burned"
threw herself out into the street. She
was killed by the fall. The other
two crouched into the room and
moment later they were rescued by the
firemen, who carried them down the
ladder in their arms. At q window on
the fifth floor two women screamed for
help. The big ladder was at another
window and jumping net was brought
out. One Of the women, Bridget Doyle,
jumped before the net was got into posi-
ton. She was dead when picked up.
Mary Padden, laundry girl, jumped
from rear window and was killed.
The time finally came when the cries
were hushed and nothing could be seen
in the great structure but seething,
moaning billows Of fire as they mounted
above the highest cornices and made the
stars in the sky look dim.
List of the Killed:
Annie Cummings, servant, city, died
In the patrol wagon. Her skull is sup
posed to have been fractured and both
knees are crushed.
Annie Cummings, vegetable cook, New
York, killed by jumping from the fifth
story window.
Bridget Doyle, cleaner, Marcellus,

Rose Schwarz. cleaner, city, badly
burned all over body, both legs broken.
right arm broken, died at $3.50 a. m. at
house of the Good Shepherd.
Fifteen others are missing, probably
consumed in the flames. Eleven people
were injured by jumping from the win
dows, four fatally.
