MINERS PERISH.
Outbreak of Fire ut Hurley. Wis. Five Lives


Lost.
HURLEY, Wis. March 20.-A great fire
is raging in the Germania mine and
threatens heavy loss of property. Five
miners, penned in the burning mine,
have persisted. All efforts to stay the
flames have proven unsuccessful.
At about midnight fire was discovered
in No. shaft at third level in the Ger
mania mine. The alarm was quickly
given to the force OF men at work in the
mine, but in spite OF their efforts to-
escape five Of the men at work between
the fifth and sixth levels in the same
shaft were cut off. The men are James
Thomas, his son Joseph Thomas, Hugh
Waller, James Sullivan and William
Banks, all miners.
The fire burned fercely and soon found
its way to the surface and destroyed the
shaft house and threatened the engine
and boiler house. The entire timbering
of the shaft and roof in that part of the
mine will doubtless be destroyed.
AS soon as it became known that sew
eral men were in the burning shaft,
searching parties were organized and
sent in the mine to rescue the missing
men or to find their bodies. Waller
came to the surface once and returned
to look for his companion and there is
no doubt that he suffocated and fell
down the shaft
The bodies of Thomas and his son
were found shortly before noon on the
fourth level near No. shaft. Could
they have gone twenty-five feet further
they would have been saved.
The loss will reach about 500, 900.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2O.-About
one o'clock yesterday afternoon the
wall of the Becker block, adjoining the
burned BOwen-Merrill building,
crushed down on top of the ruins OF
Monday evenings fire, For time the
widest rumors Of disaster were anoat,
and before they wero set ut rest large
portion OF the city's inhabitants had
| thronged into the djaccnt streets and
alleys After full investigation, how
ever. 1t was learned that but two men
had been hurt though many had mar
row escapes. Those injured were but
slightly hurt

spected the ruins and ordered that the
front wall OF tho Bowen Merrill build
ing be torn down. This was done and

q notion store, fell down in a heap.
Then the flames broke out again in the
ruins and up to ten o'clock had not been

OF water has boon poured into
the piles of wrcckage. There is,
however, no fear OF further loss of life,

ing occupied by George W. Sloan, drug

A New York financier, Mr. S. V. White,
has undertaken to reform Wall street in
new and startling manner. 1t is well
known fact that the most money made there
is made in the sudden and unexpected Jumps
up or down of certain stocks The cause of
these jumps differs of course with different
cases. An accident, or bad year for crops,
or some other calamity affecting a railroad
business may send its wreck tumbling down
out OF sight, willie on the other hand a
heavy crop or protracted hot spell driving
people to travel to summer resorts may send
1t up many points. Beside these tangible
causes of stock movement Wall street has
another method of putting things In motion.
and 1t is this, that Mr.. White has attacked.
A certain broker who perhaps had an order
to pick up certain number of shares of
Lackawanna at low figure went about the
stock exchange whispering the fact that Mr..
White was, or would shortly be, insolyent.
knowing that that information, with the
prospect Of block of Lackawanna stock put
upon the market in consequence, would tend
to send the stock down within his reach.
Mr.. White had the broker arrested accused
Of felony under a provision of the Penal
Code which bestows that name on the theft
OF valuable reputation. This kind of living
Is penal offense and punishable by Sne of
So,OOO and imprisonment for three years, If
this case can be pushed to conviction and
can De made to operate as the first step in
the direction of breaking,up some of the in
llnlties now practised on Wall street there
VIII probably be fewer successful "Napole.
ons oil finance" and fewer ruined victims
than there have been for several years past,
