Horses.

BosToN, Mass, July 2S.-There was a
panic on fremont street. one of the most
crowded business streets of this city, at 5
o clock Saturday afternoon, caused by the
fall of an electric trolley wire. 1t was just
at the hour when the big stores close, and
streams of humanity were crossing the
street. AS the wire fell it struck upon the
roofs of several horse cars, and as a shout
went up from scores of people on the side
walk those crossing at the time made good
their escape Two hor attached to a West
End street car, however, were killed, the
wire literally cutting the body of one of the
animals into pieces. The smell of burnt
flesh and the shouts of people attracted
fully 10000 people. Several women faint
ed at the sight, and in the confusion half
dozen men stepped on the wire, receiving
shocks that made them yell in a chorus
pitch. 1t was fully thirty minutes before
the wire could be cut, and street cars were
at stand-still for over two hours.

ALBANY. Wis, July 2S-The pearl
hunting craze is at its height, and daily
the river is patrolled by large parties
looking for the treasure bearing clam that
they may divest him of his accumulations.
Yesterday thousand people searched the
site of the mill pond which had been
drained for their pur pose, and many valu-
able pearls were found Many have given
up all other kinds of labor to engage in
the search for pearls Some are making
it pay, while as usual, the majority are
not lucky enough in getting on the aver
age what daily labor for wages would
bring.
The Milwaukee firm of Dunde & Up
never, of Milwaukee, has made large
purchases of pearls in this vicinity, and
other buyers are numerous. Better prices
are obtained this season than last, as the
people are learning the value of their
river captures. Some, like miners, try to
conceal their fortune, good or bad, and SO
it is not likely that the public know more
than half the truth regarding them.
The purchases of the Bundle q Up

A TOWN WIPED OUT.
The Mining village of Wallace Goes Up In
Smoke.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash. July 2S.-The
town of Wallace, in the Cenr d'Alene
mining district, was burned Tonight
Pan ticuars are very meager. At Up. N.
the trair dispatcher at Tekoa received
word from the Union Pacific dispatcher at
Wallace stating that the town had gone;
that it was getting too hot for him and
he would have to cut his wires and move
his instruments. As the Northern Pacific
depot is located at one extremity of the
town and the fire started in saloon at
the other extremity, it is supposed the
whole town has gone. Later private
kilograms confirms previous reports,
but give no particulars.
Wallace is the center of one
Of the richest mining districts in the west,
producing half the lead supply of the
United States, besides millions in gold and
silver. 1t has population Of 900, and
is reached by both Union and Northern
Pacific beanch lines. 1t is the largest to wn
in the district. 1t was built on the fat at
the junction of the south fork of the Ceur

A RECOUNT ORDERED.
The Minneapolis Census Frauds as Dis
closed by Porter

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The secretary
Of the interior today ordered recount Of
the populations Of st. Paul and MinDea-
polls. Prior to the issuing of this order
the secretary had received from Superin-
tendent of Census Porter a letter, detail
ing the trouble regarding the count Of the
twin cities and the Investigation made by
his bureau. In it he says, in part The
evidence before me may be summarized as
follows: In all probability there existed
in Minneapolis widespread organized
conspiracy for Initiating he census
OF that city. This conspiracy was only
partially carried through, owing to its
early discovery. To what extent, how
ever, the schedules are fraudulent, can be
at present only matter of conjecture.
These fraudulent schedules take in all
manne- Of forms. The families have
been swollen to an enormous size by the
addition Of children and boarders. the
capacities of existing houses have been
taxed beyond their limits by the addition
