of Attica, O., and May Steves. of Cliff
ton Springs. n. Y, who were the worst
burned of the victims of the birthday
party at the Buchtel college, Saturday

Miss Steves was one of the most beau

the s0les of her feet, escaped the fire,
and when she was found in her room,
after the mad rush of the burning girls
from the fourth story, she stood speech
less, utterly destitute of clothing, with
hands extended, blackened and bis
tered ,and not until spoken to did she re-
cover from her daZed condition. The
parents Of Miss Steigmier arrived this
morning an hour after her death. A
brief service was held in the college
chapel this afternoon, and the remains
were taken to Attica tonight, accom-
panied by the parents and four MEM
bers Of the freshman class. May Baker,
of Johnson's Creek, N. Y, and Aurelia
Wierick, of Storm Lake, To-. are the
most seriously injured of the surviving
members of the party, but physicians
say there is no immediate danger. The
fall term of the college ends next Thurs
day, but recitations have been 'aban-
doned, and many young ladies are
packing their trunks and hurrying from
the scene of the horror. The college
halls were filled with the odor of burn
ing flesh, and many young ladies tainted

DEVEY'S GREAT LUCK.
A APennsylvanian Inherits a Shnre
Ofa Big Estate.

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 14.-Moses 81.
Dewey, riyeter at Roach's shipyard,
is one of the heirs to anestate in Stafford
shire, Eng, value at something over
S5,O00,0O0. John Dewey, the grand
father of Moses II. Dewey, emigrated to
this country over fifty years ago and
settled in Schuylkill county, Pa. The
estate was left to John, who never
heard of it. as he was working Ill the
mining districts, and had no COM
munication with friends in the
mother country. About two years
ago Moses H. Dewey had some cur
iosity to know about his ancestors and
wrote, making inquiries. His three
brothers had been left in England, had
died, leaving him the only survivor of
the family. Soon after this he received
letter from the probate court of Eng
land stating that there was an unsettled
estate there, and they would like him
to forward such evidence as to his
parentage as he possessed. The evil
dence was sent, and Mr.. Dewey received
word last week from the court officers
stating that his claim had been re-
ceived. giving assurances that his pros
poets of receiving the money were good.
There are four cousins living in West

last night great light suddenly blazed
up in the northwest. III the direction of
the Bad Lands. The light faded to a
sullen glow and then rapidly spread
along the sky for distance of couple
of miles. Men posted in Indian signals
in the camp said this meant that the
Indians in the Bad Lands had deter
mined TO fight. 1t is thought that the
conflict between the Indians and cow
boys on Battle creek yesterday, in
which three of the former were killed,
has lnf1amed the Indians. The Indians
in the camp of the friendlies, on being
asked what the signal meant, declined
at first to talk, but, being pressed, final
ly said it meant that their brothers liz
the Bad Lands would be on the war
path within one sun, and that all In

be dogs and enemies forever.
The friendlies, however, disclaimed
any intention of obeying the signal

under the closest surveillance. The
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth cavalry and

1t is the general opinion here that. "a

NO MORE ADVANCE.
Breweries Help Saloonkeepers No
Longer.

Longer.
CHICAGO, Dee. 14,-It Is announced
to-day that all the synnicate breweries
of the city have decided to cease adj
vancing money to saloonkeeperS for the
purpose of procuring licenses. and the
result is that possibly 1000 saloons will
close their doors the first of the year.
Many of the breWeries have for several
years been in the habit of doing even
more than advancing the money. They
have relieved the saloonkeeper of all
trouble in the matter, and have sent
their agents to the city hall, and had
them procure the license for the Gus
him. One or two breweries have
gone further. They have paid
the free lunch counter expenses
of some of their customers. This was
all done to keep the brewers signs out,
and the burden has been heavy, each
license costing per year $500. Most of
the saloons which will be closed are on
the outskirts of the city and in localities
which are not particularly beer-drink-
ing neigbborhoods. But there are
number of downtown resorts that will
also pass out of existence. somewhat to
the surprise of the public. Not only
have the brewers grown weary of ad-
vancing money for the purpose named,
but the largest measure of complaint
has come from those saloonkeepers who
have been able to make both ends meet.
These claim that it is not fair for the
brewers to give the man who asks The
advance better chance than the man
who pays cash. There are now 5000
saloons in the city, and the number. it
is believed. will be reduced to 1000 next

THEY WE'RE BoIsTERoUs.
A Deal of Excitement at the Dayitt
Meeting.

DUBLIN, Dec. 14.-Mr. Davitt has
wired to the BasSetlaW Liberals: "The
Kilkenny Tories will vote for Parnell;s
candidate. If Bassetlaw defeats Bal
four's coercionist, Kilkenny will give
good account of Balfour's new ally, Par
NELL" There was a race between the
opposing parties TO catch the electors at
FreShfOrd. Mr.. Davitt and Sir John
Pope Hennessy reached that place just
before the celebration of mass, although
they were not expected until O'clock.
The priest, however, decided that the
mass could wait, and messengers were
dispatched tobeat up the people. Forty
nve minutes saw a crowd collected IN
the market place, headed by Father
Shortall. At the same moment the
band of Parnellites arrived, head
ed by Father O'Shea. sus-
pended priest. The Parnellites,
however; joined with the anti-Parnell-
ties in their meeting, shouting to Mr..
Davitt, '"You're welcomer" Mr.. Da-
witt, after asking fair hearing, said:
"You know never sought any mans
favor | have ever been faithful to Ire
land. have never hesitated to sacri-
fee myself for the cause" Cries of
"You are right. Davitt; we honor you
for it" came in roar of
applause from the whole con-
course, the Parnellites evidently de-
string to see fair play. Father O'Shea,
their leader, however, becoming impa-
tient, exclaimed: Il must stop you, Mr..
Davitt." The latter, amid good-humored
laughter, appealed to Father O'Shea, as
a chivalrOus Irishman, to let him go on.
Father O'Shea was Modified and said he
would allow Mr.. Davitt to continue.
But after Mr.. Dayitt had uttered a few
words in condemnation of Parnell,
Father O'Shea lost his self-control,
and continued to indulge in bursts
of dissent and indignation, occasionally
subsiding into dogged silence when
Davitt scored point. When second
appeal was being made by Davitt,
Father O'Shea said: ''Friends, let us
hear Mr.. Davitt. 1 don't agree with
him, but / respect him from the bottom
of my heart" The whole scene was
characteristic, and, after the speech
making was ended. the whole crowd
filed quietly into the church, where
mass was celebrated.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 14.-The coroner
and half dozen deputy sherlffs have
been working on the murder case at
Chillicothe all day, but have found no
clue to the murderers. P. E. King,
the murdered man, was a giant in
size and strength, and letters found at
his room go to show that he had at one
time been prize fighter in England.
His wife and five children live at Man.
chester, and three years ago they sep
arated, King coming to this country.
The separation was due to his drink
ing, but he promised to reform. and had
done SO. Shortly after the big fire in
Chillicothe he came there from Streator.
He was enticed to lonely spot near an
elevator and murdered. The ground
where the body was found bears
evidences of terrible struggle, and
Kings throat was literally torn open by
the fingers of his murderer. The blow
which caused death was given from be-
hind with a heavy iron bar, and it
crushed his skull in. There were bloody
finger marks on all his outside pockets,
but wallet containing S4S in an inside
vest pocket had been overlooked. An
examination of the ground to-day shows
that the body had been dragged fully
twenty feet and thrown into a ditch
near the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
depot.

Continuing. Mr.. Healy said that dur
ing that time Irish members, soreIy
pressed, had often come to him. saying
"For Gods sake, let's go to Parnell,"
and he had had to confess his ignorance
OF Parnell's address. The only man who
knew that was Capt. O'Shea Laughter |
When Smth-Barry was evicting ten
ants Mr.. OBrien spent days in London
hunting for 'Mr. Fox;' then in des-
peration he was compelled to beg
Mrs. O'Shea TO give him an in

she had not seen Parnell for three
months. Mr.. Healy declared that Par

earlier was an absolute lie. Mr..
Gladstone, he said. could not find
Parnell; He applied to Mr.. Mccarthy,
who told Parnell. though the latter
denied 1t. Mr.. Healy challenged
Redmond and Kelly to produce Par

the OShea charge. He also read Camp

the O'Shea issue was worse plight

said that Mr.. ParnelPs talk about Mr..

Bull and Kicking Bear.
RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. IA bat
terry of Hotchlliss guns was sent to-day
from Fort Mead to this point, to rein
force Gen. Carr's command at the mouth
of Rapid creek. A number of struggling
parties of Indians have been seen going
north. They are under the command
of Short Bull and Kicking Bear. and
say they will not surrender. Short
Bull is one of the worst Indians on the
reservation. 1t was he who murdered
Agent Appleton in cold blood at Pine
Ridge. 1t is expected that the main
body of the hoStileS will attempt to fol-
low him. Gen. Carr has orders to in
tercept and disarm these Indians at all
hazards, and it is expected a collision
will occur tomorrow in the vicin-
ity of the mouth of Spring creek
or Rapid creek. DR.. McGillycuddy,
surgeon general of the South Dakota
militia, has been ordered to join Col.
Days command at the front. Several
old Indian fighters have volunteered as
guides and scouts. A company of Sioux
and Crow scouts from the North are on
the way to join Gen. Carr. A special
from Pine Ridge says part of the Sev-
enth cavalry has orders to march at

HANDLING THE JEWS.
Comment by the Russian Novoe
Vremya.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. IA. = The
Novoe Vremya protests against English
or other foreign interference in regard
to the treatment of the Jews in Russia.
and says: "The meeting in London will
not advance the cause of the Jews one
step. At the bottom of the movement
is the fear of the English of an invasion
of their country by the Jews, who might
deprive the poor of their bread and
enter into competition with the rich
as we'll. 1t is not religious intolerance
that prompts the measures relative
to the Jews in Russia, where their syn
agogues stand proudly by the side of
Christian churches; it is the absolute
necessity for saving the rural populace
from being drained of their resources
by the Jews, who have already ruined
the peasants of Galicia, Roumania and
Pomerania. Russia will save the Jews
themselves from popular retribution.
She does not assume false liberalism,
but acts openly in protecting the pros
perity of the nation. If the whole of
Europe should attempt to force dis
tasteful policy upon Russia, she is in
position successfully to defend her in

1T is CATCHING.
The Aztec Indians Have the Mes
siah Craze.


KANSAS CITY, Dec. 14.-Luis Del
Commun. of Cholulu. Pueblo, Mexico,
was in the city to-day, Ell route to CHI
cago. In an interview tonight, he said
the Aztec Indians of Mexico are af-
fiicted with a Messiah craze very
similar to that which is disturbing the
Indians in the Dakotas. All the Aztec
tribes scattered throughout Mexico are,
he said, believers in the prophesied
Messiah expected to appear and free
them from the foreign conquerors and
restore them to their domain and
their pristine glory. At Cholulu
are the ruins of an old Aztec
temple. This is the Mecca of the be-
levers in the Messiah, and there are
now encamped about it hundreds of
AZtecs, who are engaged in performing
all sorts of mysterious religious
rites. Of these rites of old, human
sacrifice was part, accompanied
with flower dance. The sacrifice
has been done away with, and now
only the dance remains. The Aztec
prophecy is very much like that which
is believed in by the Sioux. The Mes
siah will cause the volcano POpocata-
petl to erupt and overwhelm the coun-
try with lava, which Will destroy all
but the AZtecS.

THE DRUID MILLS SOLVENT.
Assets Far in Excess of the Liza
bilitieS.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14.-At the meet
ing of the creditors of the Druid Mills
Manufacturing company, the statement
submitted showed the company to be
solvent. The liabilities. including the
mortgage on the mill property, are
S450,000, while the assets are S716,OO
The mills at Woodbury. are carried on
the books of the company at $500, 600.
The balance of the assets is in the
hands of the trustee. The in
debtedness is equally distributed,
no large amount being held by any one
creditor. The trustee was directed to
apply to the court for permission to
continue the business, for which, it was
said, sufficient money could be obtained
without difficulty. The statement tele-
graphed from here to the effect that the
Gambrill Manufacturing company had
failed was entirely erroneous. 1t was
the Druid Manufacturing company, man
ufacturers of cotton duck, that became
financially embarrassed, not the e. A.
Gambrili Manufacturing company, pro-
prietors of the Patapsco Touring mills.
A Mr.. Gambrill had been identified with
the Druid Manufacturing company,
hence the blunder.
