THE FIERY MONSTER
Breaks Loose in st. Louis,
Devouring a Dozen Souls
And Destroys Millions Of Dol
lars Worth of Property.
Secretary Foster Talks FL

While Depew and Hiscock
Cheer Him on.
DIV Flames.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE cold wave
which reached this city last evening was
the cause of one OF the most disastrous
fires which has visited ST. Louis in many
years. Nine persons are probably killed,
four men are badly hurt and 81, 500. 900
worth OF property has gone no 10 smoke.
The flames spread with almost ~incouceiv.
able rapidity. eating their way through
brick blocks as though they we're pine.
A cold westerly gale was blowing dur
ing the time the fire was at its height,
rendering the work of the fremep ex-
tramely difficult, aud for a time it almost
seemed a hopeless task. The water
poured on the flames seemed to act like
oil instead of ~extinguishing them. Store
after store went down before the fierce
flames and fears were entertained for a
time that a second Chicago disaster was
imminent. The fire ragged from 4:30 a.
m., until 10 o'clock before it could be
fairly under control ana tonight the en-
gines are still pouring water on the
smoking debris.
The fire throwed about l.500 people
out of employment, the majority of them
being in the service OF the Famous COM
psnv," one of the largest boot and shoe
houses In the West. One life was prob
ably lost, Night Waterman Jasper, en-
ployed by the Sonnenfeld Millinery COM
pany, he not having been seen today.
Fireman John Lynch and Alonzo Simon
were badly injured by falling debris.
Michael Connors, lodging at the Vein
man house, becoming alarmed at the
sight OF fire. Jumped from a window aud
broke his leg. A. s. TAYLOR. a newspaper
man. received a severe shock from an
electric wire. The losses are about as fol.
lows: The Famous Shoe and Clothing
company, $l,l 65 600; Penny & Gentle,
$240, 900; Sonnentelds. $245, 900. The
minor losses will aggregate s35 900. The
insurance is about two-thirds of the
losses.

Big Foot's Band.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA telegram
has been received at the army head
quarters from Gen. Brooke, commanding
the department of Dakota, in esponse to
one sent him by Gen. Scho6eld asking
the truth about the>rumor of Big Foot's
band which left their reservation and
started for Pine Ridge. Gen. Brooke
stated that he had been unable to learn
anything definite about the movement,
but would find ont the scope and signi-
~fication at once. There is no a~pprehen-
sion felt here that the movement will be
followed by anything like last winters
outbreak.
Gen. Schoield said this morning: The
state OF things in the Indian country to-
day is far better than a year ago. There
IL more content among the Sioux this
year than last. This is mainly due to the
fact that the affairs OF the government,
as far as they affect the Indians, are. |
believe, being better administered. L
don't think there is any discernible signs
of trouble this winter. So far as L can
see the tribes are quiet"

Killed His

SOUTH MCALEsTER, l. T., Nov. IL
John E. Thornton, a jeweler, living at
McAlester, shot and killed his daughter,
Laura Anonier krebs. at 7 o'clock last
night. Thornton is regarded as crazy.
The crime was one of the coolest and
most diabolical ever committed in the
territory. The deceased was only is
years of age, and had only been married
six days. Thornton claims that his
daughter wrote him a letter which dis
pleased him. He was arrested and will
be carried to Fort Smith tomorrow, on
the charge of murder in the first degree
There is some talk of mobbing.

Want Egan Recalled.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ia special
letter from Valparaiso under date OF Oct.
7th says there is a general feeling here
that Chile has been injured by the United
States. and the proceedings of the latter
government in relation to the Chilean
affairs has been to say the least very in
judicious. The letter adds that the irri-
tation has been increased by the report
that the cruiser San Francisco had been
ordered to sustain Minister Egan in his
position which he has taken in regard to
the refugees.
The letter continues: The Uerdldo
aof Oct S. says the following persons are
nnder the protection of the American le-
cation. comprising the fatal number,
thirteen: A. Cotapos. Juan 4. Mac
kenna, Guillermo- Mackenna, Gen. Gina
L. Nj. V. Carreia. Adolpo Ibarrez, Ric-
ardo Vicunda, V. E. Yalero and Eve
others OF minor importance. The cor
respondent claims that the contention
is made that it seems strange
they should have been received,
and that the United States flag should be
used to protect the most cruel criminals
who have committed barbarous crimes
equal to those OF the pirates of the high
seas and who now claim politics as a screen
to hide their iniqu,ty. He adds: '.Rumors
are In circulation that the Chilean govern
ment sent to the United States minister
at Washington a special messenger WITH
dispatches, who will arrive there in
November, and that, intimatiou has haen
made on friendly terms, that The
withdrawal of Mr.. Egan from Santiane
would be agreeable to the Chilean govern
ment."

Eruption Of the skIn Cured.

Ed. Vonnev, Brockville. Ontario. Can
ada, Gays: Il have used Brandreth's
Pills for the past fifteen years, and think
them the best cathartic and anti-bilious
remedy known. For some five years l
suffered with an eruption OF the skin that
gave me great pain and annoyance. l
tried different blood remedies, but, al
though gaining strength the Itching was
unrelieved. / finally concluded to take a
thorough course of Brandreth's Pills. l
took six each night for four nights. then
FIVE, four, three, two, lessening each time
by one. and then for one month took one
every night. with the happy result that
now my skin is perfectly clear and has
been so ever since"

TOLEDO, Nov. 1.-THE knights OF
Labor general assembly finally completed
its work this evening. During the day a
number OF matters were discussed. The
committee on legislation recommend
that the general executive board should
use every effort in the agitation and in
fand in favor OF the enforcement OF the
laws under which. if carried out, the
charter OF the New York Central railroad
would be forfeited. 1t was resolved to
petition congress to put finished morocco
on the free list as q means of reaching
the morocco manufacturers trust which,
it was said had combined to destroy the
organization oil the workingmen in their
employ. A resolution was passed sus-
tanning Mr.. Powderly in all his dealings
with the order and against the unwar-
ranted attacks OF Fred Turner of Phila-
delphia."

Printing machines are usually driven
by steam or gas motors. but the machine
which prints a certain newspaper il.
America is run by dog power. A large
wheel about ten feet in diameter and
two in width is connected with the driy-
ing rigger of the machine by means of a
belt; strips of wood, for foothold, are
placed a foot apart on the inside of the
wheel, where Joe, the journalistic
dog, walks his weary round, and thus
causes the wheel to revolve. Joe has run
the press for about five years, and has
faithfully earned his board and lodging,
