Gently pu blished. Extradition is not to be had

BURIED THE RUINS.
Explosion of Packing House Boiler
With Loss of Life

OMAHA, Neb., Special. To-day an ex-
plosion occurred at the Automatically
Packing house at South Omaha, which re-
suited in the instant death of at least one
man, the subsequent death of two others,
and which may be followed by the death
of others. The explosion occurred in the
boiler room of the old packing house.
There is located battery of nine boilers,
two of which are reserves. The outside
boiler of this battery burst, tearing great
holes in the walls of the machinery depart
ment adjoining. The noise of the explosion
soon attracted the great army of packing
house employees to the scene, where beneath
the ruins perhaps twenty-five men lay
wounded. An alarm of fire was sounded
and the fire department soon arrived on
the scene joining forces with the Armour
Cudahy fire department, and the two soon
quelled the flames. A crowd of one hun
dred men went to work on the debris, hur
riedly working to relieve the sufferers, and
in short time had the dead and injured
removed and taken to St. Joseph hospital.
The following is list of the dead and in
jured:
Jack Tigh, head fireman, instantly killed;
Hans Oleson and Cal Wheeler died from inhalng
hot air; Sam Gibson, burned about the head
and face, will probably die: Ed Miskel, fractured
skull and severely burned, will probably die;
James Black, severely burned and his skull
fractured will probably die: James Sheridan,
badly scalded about the head and neck; Al
Harder, scalded and burned but his injuries are
not regarded as serious; James MCGUIRE Sc
verely burned about the hands and head; George
j. Meahan, burned about the head and eyes; j.
Lanahan, not been found, and believed to be
dead and lying beneath the ruins Mike Har-
rahan, badly burned about the head and hands;
James Armstrong, badly burned about the head;
49, Leonard, Billy Dunklin, John Peterson and
Dan Harland.
Many others were slightly injured and
walls. The cause of the explosion is yet to
be determined but it is probable that the
wall of the boiler room caused the explo-
sion by falling on the boiler. The loss
reaches many thousands Of dollars.

An Old Man Who Has Spent Much
of His Life in Insane Asylums.

An Old Man Who Has Spent Much
of His Life in Insane Asylums.
One of the most remarkable cases of q sane
man confined for nearly his whole life in an in
sane asylum came to light in Seattle, Wash,
Homer II. Brown is sixty years old and for
the past twenty years he has been confined in
asylums in different parts Of the country
For the past eight years he has been in the
custody OF his brother, Watson Brown, now
Of Seattle, who has just sought to have him
again confined in an insane asylum and it
was through his efforts in the pro bate court
that led to Homer Browns having his first
trial before a jury Of his peers, and they
have decided he is perfectly sane. Testi-
mony before the probate court brought out
these facts: The other brothers are all rich.
They inherited property from their father.
Soon after graduating from college and
after practicing law for short time in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. and Sioux City, Iowa, Homer
was confined in insane asylums and was close
" watched by his relatives. Mr.. Brown him
self asserts he never before had a trial and
was simply arrested and confined. ,Ihe rea.
sons given for this was that one
drank whisky and another caught him
smoking in drawing room. His guardian
brother consented to his going back to Min
nesota, where his other two brothers are rich
and prosperous, one brother being president
and principal owner OF the National
Bank of Albert Lea, Mimi, and
the other, Marcus Brown, owns several
large farms in that state. His guardian con-
sented to his going East, but when he went
ostensibly to get his ticket Homer Brown
suspected him and wentto the probate court,
where he found him just about to seal his
doom for another term of confinement He
demanded another trial, with the above re-
cn1t PRO ho he 4boro
a large amount of money coming to him,
but he never got it. Expert physicians and
others in court believe that the man has
been prosecuted all these years.

IN SIXTY DAYS.
A Young Lady Proposes Ito Circle
the Globe in that Period.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Special Tele-
gram Citizens have contributed
So, 900 of the proposed sum of SIS, 900 to Miss
Regina Rothschild of this city, who will
leave Port Townsend on March II to race
around the world against Citizen George
Francis Train, who leaves Tacoma on the
same day. Miss Rothschild will go east and
endeavor to circle the globe in less than
sixty days, returning via Yokohama and
Cape Flattery. Robert Kerr. general man
ager OF the Canadian Pacific railway, has
telegraphed that TIE special train will leave
Vancouver March II, to arrive in New York
five and one-half days later. The French
steamer La Normandie will carry the young
lady to Havre. where she will take the
train to Brindisi thence to Kong Kong on
another French steamer. Yokoha-
ma will be reached three days
alter the regular advertised departure
has decided to postpone the sailing until
the arrival of the Port Townsend girl.
About fourteen days later the steamer will
pass Cape Flattery, where the powerful tug
Tyee, capable of making twenty miles per
hour, will be in waiting to convey Miss
Rothschild to Port Townsend. The adj
vantage of the young lady in making quick
er time than George Francis Train Will be
lost in waiting for the steamer, and the only
hitch wilIbe at Yokohama, which will be
avoided by delaying the steamer Abyssinia.
She will have the heavy winds usually en-
countered over the world at this season of
the year at her back, and Train will pro-
baby not be able to make connections.
The Canadian Pacific authorities are anx-
ious for the race and promise everything in
their power to beat Train, who will travel
over the Northern Pacific railroad Miss
Rothschild is scarcely over twenty-one
years old and native of this city She is
the daughter OF the late Baron Rothschild,
a prominent pioneer merchant, and is an
exceedingly handsome and popular young
lady. The liveliest interest is manifested
by the Port Townsend citizens, and the
race promises to be an exciting event.

fears are entertained for the safety of that
town, but as there is no telegraphic com
munication no news will be obtainable Of
its fate until tomorrow at least. The
service dam of the company, located fifteen
miles below the reservoirs, and fifteen
miles of fume just approaching compile
ton were swept away. Altogether the COM
pany has spent over $4,000 on the enter
prise ofstoring the water The hydraulic
mining machine had arrived and they
expected to commence operations next
week. The dam which held the waters
back was ITO feet long at the base and 400
1eet at the top. 1t was ITO feet thick at the
base and ten feet at the top forming lake

LATER.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Specialize definite
news has yet reached here of the loss of life
or the damage caused by the break of the
Walnut Grove dam. There can be no esti-
mate yet of the loss of life or property, but
the latter will reach into millions, while
the loss life will without doubt be great,
as many of the families were living
near the stream in the narrow can
yons. Yesterdays courier came from
the lower dam, and as the road does
not come by the upper dam, it was only
surlnised that it had given away on account
OF the immense quantity of water A more
hopeful feeling exists this evening on ac-
count OF no news being received direct that
the upper dam has given way. 1t is now
hoped that the reservoir is still intact and
the flood was caused by the opening of the
gates to relieve it from the threatened
danger. No definite information will be
received before tomorrow.
DUE TO cARELEssNEss.
SAN FRANcIsCo, Special. Luther
Wagner to-day gave some details of the
construction OF the great storage dam across
HasSayampa river which show that this dis
aster, like that at Johnstown, Pa, was, ac-
cording to him, due to the carelessness and
meanness OF the New York corporation that
built It. Mr.. Wagner was called in to re-
port on the dam about one and half years
ago. He advised the discharge of the con-
tractors and engineers, as he regarded them
as worthless, but this was not done. The
company, however, acting on his advice,
strengthened the weak places. Mr. Wagner
warned them that the dam would be unsafe
unless some of the work was gone over and
rectitied, but they would not lister to him.
