Men Sought Shelter From the Storm
to Meet Worse Danger
The Building in Which They Took Ref
uge Became a Tomb.
Five We're Taken From It's Ruins Dead
and Many We're Injured.
This Was the Work Of a Western
Storm-Damage in Maine.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis. July 16.-A wind
storm OF terrific violence swept over Supe-
rior today, carrying death and destruction in
its path. The wind was accompanied by a
pouring rain. The storm lasted about 30
minutes, and many thousands of dollars
damage was done. During the progress Of
the storm. an alarm of fire brought the de-
partment to the new. large three story frame
hotel on Third street. near Lamberp ave-
nue.. which was blown down with many
workmen in the ruins. At a late
hour tonight, dead were taken
out. Many were injured, one probably
fatally. The assistant chief OF the fire
department, had his leg broken. An eye
witness Of the disaster says he saw crew
of men run into the building to seek shelter
from the storm. Fully 80 or 40 men must
have been inside, distributed over all the
floors. The men on the third floor took
warning, and five were seen to jump and get
away in safety. Much damage was done in
all directions. The steel hoisting and con-
veying apparatus employed by the Silver
Creek and Morris and Ohio coal companies
was badly damaged. A large frame building
was blown down on the corner of Third and
Tower streets, South Superior, and number
of other buildings levelled. No casual lties
are reported there. The lightning played
havoc with the Fisher Hotel, Unitarian
church. Union depot and other buildings.
No reports of disaster on the lake or in the
harbOr have been received.

ST. PAUL, July 16.-At the seeond dav,s
session OF the National Editorial Associa-
tlon, w. A. Pabor Of Denver read a commu-
nication from the members OF the Baltimore
Yearly Meeting Of Women Friends Of Mary
land, Va. and Pennsylvania, urging that
some action be taken on the omission of the
details in the reports of crime, including sui
cides. scandals. and breaches Of faith and
honor. he offered a resolution expressing
sympathy with all efforts made to preserve
the purity OF the press, and urging the Judi
cious use Of the blue pencil on sensational
and criminal reports. believing that the pur-

exalting its moral influence. The resolution
was referred.

NEW YORK, July 16.-A year ago. when
Z. E. Knight, a wealthy produce dealer In
Boston, died. his wife moved to Brook
lyn. Then Horace e. Lltchfeld, a statloner
OF Chelsea. and three young men named
Robinson, Parker and Douglas, opened an
office at 16 Central street. Boston. They
put out a sign which gave the impression
that Mrs. Knight was conducting the place.
Litchfeld got the mercantile agency to
rate the firm at S250.0OO. On the strength OF
this showing. Force & Moss gave Parker,
who represented that he was about to be
married. credit for $1,000 worth OF iewelrv.
The house Of Mrs. K. X. knight became So
curlty for the Indebtedness. From the Bos

Dug nis Grave and Died In It.

SAN Francisco, July 16.-A few days ago
the Fresno county sheriff, while searchi ng
for two murderers, discovered the body of a
man embedded In ice. The sherif's party
found the miners tools In an almost inacces-
sible canon, and searching about suddenly
came upon the dead man lying at the bottom
of a rude grave, with six feet of ice over
him. He had evidently cut the grave in the
rock. 1t was soft, and he had been able to
make quite an excavation with the aid Of a
pick. This done. he lay down in the grave.
placed large rock across his thighs and
drowned himself as the grave slowly filled
with water from the little streams that the
melting snow sent into it.
Although midsummer, the Ice had not yet
melted. The lea was transparent, and the
dead body in the bottom Of the grave was
plainly visible, and was In as good a state of
preservation as If he had died yesterday,
though there can be little doubt that he COM
mitted suicide last fall. Near by they found
this note. written with lead pencil:
"My name Is Dave Menaer. have lived like

had worked was worthless.

WoBURN, Mass, July 16-VariOus rumors
have been floating about Woburn in the last
4S hours as to the cause of the sudden dIsap-
pearaDce of Charles w. Gilbert, son-in-law
Of the late Alderman John s. True. Mrs.
True, at whose home Mr.. Gilbert lived, and
Mrs. Gilbert. discovered extensive embezzle-
ment Of their funds by Mr.. Gilbert. They
told the story to friends. and now the truth
Is known. Gilbert has been forging orders
on the savings banks and obtained money
belonging to his wife and mother-In-law.
This money he lost ln stock gambling In
bucket shops In Boston. Other securities
were, no doubt, made away with, but to
what amount no one knows. An expert ac-
eountaat Is making an examination. The
amount Is said to be from $4,000 to $4,000
Gilbert was said to have been engaged In the
Insurance business In Boston Tor some
months past. 1t now transpires he has been
gambling In stocks. The two ladies had con-
siderable money deposited In savings banks.
Some 20 to % bank books, showing these
deposits. with bonds and other valuable pa
pers, etc, were locked In a safe deposit box
10 vault In Boston. Several
times Mrs. True intrusted the Key 10 GIL
bert and he brought her the securities and
collected the interest for her, which he al
ways faithfully paid. While he had the key
he secured duplicate and with this had
free access TO the box at any time. He had
taken out the bank books and skilfully
forged orders obtaining the money and 9TH
or securities In the box. He left home q
week ago Monday on account OF the discov-
cry of one of Mrs. True's bank books in his
pocket by his wife and her threatening to
inform her mother.

PERcIvAL'S RoNDsMEN.
The story of Settlement Told BY a
Boston Paper.

Boston, July 16-A Lewiston despatch to
a local paper says:
"The bOndsmen of Cashier Perciyal of the
Shoe and Leather Bank of Auburn have
come down from their high horse and will
make no attempt to contest a settlement with
the bank directors. Just what has happened
to bring this state Of things about does not
appear on the surface, but 1t Is not impossi-
pie to make pretty clear guess at it. Up to
within few days, the bondsmen have been
full OF fight and charging the bank directors
with almost, IL not quite, criminal careless
ness In their supervision of Cashier Perci-
vars business methods. The directors In
their turn were pugnacious and insisted upon
their pound Of flesh with an emphasis that
did not speak well for their humanity, as
tney, were willing apparently to take the Per-
clval mouse, which belonged to the cashiers
Vile and which she was ready to sacrifice to
save her husband. Percivaps immense life
Insurance. the greatest amount with one ex-
ceptl0n held by any one person in Maine,
was also In danger, but of late all was
changed.
"Hon. o. ID. Baker, ex-attorney general of
Maine and counsel for the bondsmep. admit
ted to your correspondent that the bondsmen
had given up their idea Of contesting pay
ment "But," said he, 1--WE have secured con-
cessions from the other side. The directors
have conveyed Mrs. Percival's house back to
her and they have agreed that Percival him
self shall not be put through the insolvency
court" Although Mr.. Baker did not say SO
distinctly, this last fact may be taken to mean
that Perclval will bind himself, IL he has not
already done so, to reimburse his bondsmen
for the amount they are to pay for his crime.
Percival has almost wholly recovered from
his illness and from the self inflicted pistol
wound which came near settling his account
with the Shoe and Leather Bank before the
law could interfere. Unless something un-
foreseen comes up. his case will be presented
before the grand jury of the United States
circuit court in September.
1T is probable that this result will make
change in the attitude of Cashier Spaulding's
bondsmen In the Aver, Mass, bank case, as
the points in issue were almost exactly the
