Fight for Life.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 23.-At $3.50
o'clock this morning officer Peterson,
of the Margaret Street detail, came
across a gang of toughs near the cor
ner of Third and Commercial Streets.
They acted suspiciously and he
halted them. He was Immediately at
tackled, and desperate and unequal
contest followed between the patrolman
and thugs. Repeatedly Peterson was
knocked down. kicked and stamped
upon. At last he succeeded in drawing
his revolver, firing two shots at his as
sailants. Almost at the same moment
he was struck in the back of the head
with stone and knocked senseless.
Attracted by the pistol shots, other
patrolmen in the vicinity rushed to the
spot. They found Peterson, covered
with blood and insensible, lying in the
gutter. He was picked up, taken home
In the patrol wagon, and a physician
summoned. His face was found beaten
out of shape and swollen into horri-
BILE mass. A long cut was upon the
back of the head, probably made by
the blow from stone, and his skull is
is thought to be fractured thereby. It
was impossible at the time to tell the
extent o. his injuries, but his recovery
is considered improbable.
Almost touching the limp form Of
Officer Peterson was the form of Neil
eastman. A hasty examination showed
that both the officers shots had taken
effect. He had been hit twice, Just be-
low the heart. He was picked up in q
sem1-conscious condition, and removed
to the city hospital. where an examin-
alton was made. His injuries are pro-
nounced necessarily fatal. The other
members of the gang escaped.

Thirty Men Penned in a Burning
Shaft in Wyoming.

CHEYENNE, Wy. T., April 23.-Thirtv
men are imprisoned in the Rock
Springs coal mine No. 4, which is en-
fire, and 1t is almost certain that all are
dead.
The mine was discovered to be on fire
at / O'Clock yesterday morning. The
flames were kept under control for a
time, bUt about the fire commenced to
spread rapidly, and the men were or
dered to the surface.
The leaders were just issuing from the
shafts mouth, when @ fearful explosion,
heard Tor miles around, occurred. and q
volume OF smoke rushed out of the shaft.
There were calls Tor volunteers Tor q
sponded. Their disappearance was the
signal for another explosion. Seven of
the searchers were injured. Three ex-
plosions followed in rapid succession.
There are still at least thirty men in
the mine, mostly Chinese. That these
are almost certainly dead there is but
little donbt, but even were they living
their fate is sealed, for there is no posi-
biHty Of another descent being made
until IT. c FIRE is under control.
Of che men injured three have al
ready expired, and it is thought that
four more cannot survive.

OUTRAGE AT FORTUNE BAY.

Eleven Hundred Barrels of Herring
Thrown from an American Vessel.
ST.. PIERRE, MiqueIon, April 25.-Capt.
White, of the schooner Rapid Transit,
of Gloucester, entered Fortune Bay last
month under register, with salt, to pro-
cure cargo of herring. After his ar
rival he was boarded by Customs Off
Ger Mullings, who entered and cleared
the schooner coastwlse, and demanded
the duty on the salt, which White paid.
Subsequently, when Whites vessel
was nearly loaded with herring lawfully
purchased, there arrived the revenue
steamer Iona, with Judge and court.
Capt. White was summoned to appear,
and was given thirty minutes to decide
whether to go to jail at Harbor Briton
for three months and have his cargo
confiscated, or to retain eighty barrels
of herring, the quantity allowed fishing
vessels, and pay license fee.
Capt. White replied: II will do
neither" but being compelled to de-
eide accepted the latter option, where
upon Capt. McGrath of the Iona, sent
his crew and threw overheard from the
Rapid Transit the cargo of ! 100 bar
rels of herring. Capt. White paid $50
to the court, rather than go to prison.
Intense excitement exists among the
American captains on account Of the ar
bitrary ruling of the court and the de-
struction or private property. Capt.
White returns home with his empty
vessel, and there will seek redress for
what lie considers fragrant wrong and
an act Of injustice-in fact, another For
tune Bay outrage.

CATAsAoUA, Pa, All ril 24.-1ha largest
silk mill in the Lehigh Valley was de-
stroyed by fire this morning. Several

covered in the large new building owned
and occupied by the Unicorn Silk Man

Workmen from the different furnaces,
factories, and mills, were under the i'm
preston that the whistles, as usual,
were calling them to their days work,
and did not respond until the fire had a
head way of about tive nty minutes.
Upon their arrival at the scene of the
fire considerable difficulty was expert
enced in securing water for the engines,
as the mill was built on the duff over
looking the Lehigh Coal & Navigation
Company's canal and the Lehigh River
half mile from town. They ran their
engines down the hill on the other side
to the canal, and soon had two streams
OF water on the building, which was by
this time a mass OF flames. In spite of
the intense heat the tiremen worked
hard in the hope OF saving the store
rooms and engine house. Here Is where
the catastrophe took place which has
thrown this quiet town into g. state of
intense excitement, and cast gloom
over the entire neigbborhood.
While the firemen and employees were
working hard to control the fire, an ex-
ploslon Of vitrlol and other acids took
place, and before the hrenen could
escape several Of their number were
caught by the falling walls, and many
were injured by flying debrls. At this
