Cincinnati and Denver Report Fatal
Conhagrations.

Conhagrations.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.-A fire broke out
yesterday in Oscar Okens' picture frame
manufactory at 1874 West Second street.
During the progress of the fire ladder
put up by the firemen fell and instantly
killed Fireman Bocklage. Edward An
derson, of the same company, was fatally
injured. Joseph Conway and Beebe, Of
the same company, were slightly in
jured, as was also Captain Hurley, of
another company.
The fire was caused by an explosion of
fine varnish in the cell ar. William May
ors, who was at work in the cellar, was
fearfully burned, and was imprisoned
there until the flames were subdued so
that he could be brought out. He then
appeared to be raving maniac. His
hair was burned off, and the whole
scalp had the appearance of being
burned to a crisp. He was taken to the
hospital, where his injuries were pro.
nounced not fatal. ..
There were eight men on the ladder
when it fell. The break was caused by
the yielding of the cornice upon which
the top of it rested.
Lieutenant Wlll1am B0cklage ana
Pipeman Edward Anderson, who were
hurt by the falling ladder, each had
fracture of the skull, and both were
dead shortly after reaching the hos

CORK, Nov. 10,--A meeting of priests

to be taken relative to the suppression

on the ground of clerical intimidation
and undue influence in the election If
Redmond does not take such step it is
possible that the Tories may do so in

AT THE MOUTH OF A GUN.
Bravery of a Man Who Met Death
Horribly

Louisville Courier-Journal
UZman AfZul Khan, being a strict
Mahanimedan, was sentenced by the
general court martial to be prosecuted
by being blown from the mouth of a
gun. Saturday, the day following their
Sabbath, which is our Friday, was the
dav appointed subject to the approval
of the Finding" by the communicate.
The commandment approved of the find
Ing OF the court, and the execution
parade took place the following Satur-
day.
The native troops, all unarmed,
formed two sides of square opposite to
one another and facing forward. They
paraded with fixed bayonets and loaded
with bail cartridge i'll view of the Sc
pOys. On the fourth side of that square
atwelve-pounder gun was posted, the
muzZle pointing inward, in charge of
the European artillery.
The cOmmandant and staff stood in
the center of the square. Presently the
convicted subadar-majOr was marched
into the square and halted in front of
the gun facing the troops. The charge,
finding and sentence were read by the
adiutant in English and Hindustani,
and the commandanI asked the prisoner
to say his last words.
The prisoner, who was, to do him but
justice, brave, soldierIy man, said in
a firm voice that he was justly pun
iShed for his gross breach of military
discipline, and eXhorted the Sepoys to
adhere to the British Raj, which he said
would be successful as it had always
been.
He was then tied securely to the muz-
zle of the gun, his back to 1t, facing the
parade. The gun was loaded with an
extra charge of powder, with clod of
grassy turf lightly rammed home. The
mans face was as pale as death, but he
still had resolute look and did not
tremble one whit. He certainly died a
brave man. The word was given by
the commandant and the lanyard pulled.
A dull explosion followed. and the un-
happy wretch was launched into etern-
ity, blown into fragments! He, how
ever. had a certain revenge, even in
death, for his right arm, being tightly
drawn back on the gun, on the latter
being fired, was violently projected
back, striking with force stalwart
sergeant OF artillery on the throat, and
hurting him to the earth.
The sergeant was six months in the
hospital before he recovered sufficiently
TO join his corps. A party of the de-
ceased mutineer'S regiment picked up
the pieces very carefully. as to miss
any of them would entail much suffer
ing in future state, and carried the
remains of to be buried by his friends.

of goods from wholesale merchants of
Chicago, Des Moines and Ottumwa, for
which they have not paid cent. Last
August the first two named men opened
a ciotling and furnishing store at Osce-
ola, 10.
In the front part of the store room a
display of cheap goods was made. The
firm represented to the commercial
agencies and wholesalers that their
stock was worth S2.S00; that they had
several hundred dollars in cash and only
$50 liabilities. Large consignments of
goods were bought on ohethird cash
upon delivery, the balance in sixty and
ninety days. When the goods were
shipped the firm, the boxes containing
the merchandise were taken TO the rear
apartment of the store and all marks
were removed and the goods were then
reshipped to A. Goldberg, ST. Joseph,
Mo. When the creditors were about to
close in upon the firm the store was
suddenly closed and the members of the
firm took their departure. They were
traced to St. Joseph, where they have
been Swallowed until requisition papers
could be made out. 1t is now feared
that they have given the police the slip.
About $4,000 worth of goods have been
found in the building where Goldberg
had his quarters

GAMBLED TO GRIEF.
A Young Man Bets Horses and
Poker $4,000 Too Hard.

OhCf lo,OOO 100 nara.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 27.-WilIiam l..
Munson, whose shortage of over $4,000
as assistant secretary to Fulton Build
ing Association No. was reported last
night by his own father to the directors,
has been for some time travelling pas
senger agent of the Kentucky Central
railroad. He has stood high in public
estimation, and is happily married He
made no denial of his guilt, but ex-
pressed establishment that it had reached
SO large sum. He frankly confessed
that it was all due to his inordinate love
of gambling. He was habitual better
at the races, and lost much money also
at poker.
Being in receipt of good salary his
expenditures OH the track did not ex-
cite unusual suspicion. His losses at
poker were necessarily known to but
few. His method of defrauding the as
ISOLATION consisted in taking money
each night when weekly dues were
paid, aud Juggling the books in such an
ingenious way that neither his father.
who was secretary, nor his brother who
was second assistant, nor the auditing
committee, discovered it until within
very short time. He took comparatively
small sums each week, and hit upon a
method Of covering up his embeZZle-
ment III a most ingenious manner. OF
course. it required falsifying of books,
but even this was not apparent until
the most searching tests were applied.
The first suspicion Of wrong came
short time ago, when some members
wanted TO withdraw their money. Then
it appeared their amounts did not tally
with the amounts in the ledger. The
secretary called the books all in and
made careful examination. This led
to the discovery of the crime of the
first assistant. The father consulted
his attorney, and, through his advice,
revealed the whole truth to the board of
directors. William. with some of the
moral strength of his father and
brother, determined not to fly, but to re-
main and meet the consequence of his
acts. 1t is not known whether the de-
faulter will be able to make good any
part of the loss.

WATERS WILD WORK.
Many Districts in Spain Are Heav-
ilY Damaged.

MADRID. Oct 37.-Throughout Spain
there is more or less evidence of the
damage done by the floods and of the
severe nature of these foundations. In
many submerged districts acute distress
prevails among the poorer classes of in
habitants, and in number of places
the railroads have been cut by the high
waters, which have thus stopped COM
munication between several of the large
towns of the flooded provinces.
The Ebro continues to rise and Is
flooding the streets of Tortosa, in the
province of Tarragona, and is placing
the surrounding country under water.
On all sides an immense amount of
damage has been done, many villages
are entirely isolated from the surround
ing towns and hamlets, and, as may be
supposed, there has been a great loss
everywhere in live stock and crops.
The villages of Gualchos and Urco,
near Granada, have been completely in

this morning has a dispatch from st.
Petersburg in which it is said that the
Russian government has rejected the
petition of deputation Of the richest
Moscow merchants for permission to
form society for the relief of the vic
tins of the famine-stricken districts.
The society was backed by an immense
amount of capital and host of volun-
teers. The minister of the interior. in
declining the proposition, declared that
anybody attempting to visit the districts
where the famine prevailed for any such
object as that described would be ar
rested.
The emigration society has prohibited
the organization of relief committees at
certain points. This is supposed TO be
due to the fact that reliance upon gov
eminent relief will have bad moral eff.
feet on the peasants, who will decline
TO work on relief railways, roads, etc.,
and spend the money they receive in
drink. They are too lazy to SOW corn
while the ready cash of a famine fund
is procurable.

DOERFLINGER CAUGHT.
The Pittsburg Absconder Taken
In at Omaha.

IN at Olnana.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 81. = Theodore
D0erflinger, thu abSconding treasurer
of the school board of Pittsburg, Pa,
arrived in Omaha this morning over the
Rock Island from Chicago. Chief
Detective Haze met the train at
the transfer station on the other side of
the river, picked out his man, and as
soon as he reached the Omaha depot,
placed him under arrest. The prisoner
insisted at first that his name was
Jones, but soon admitted that the fficer
was right and that he was the Pittsburg
defaulter.
AT the station he talked very freely,
and admitted that there was shortage
OF about $50, 900 in his accounts. Doer-
finger is thirty-seven years of age. and
for the past fourteen years has been a
member of the school board of his city,
during the past seven of which he has
been treasurer. He said that his steal
ings had extended over about the whole
and that the auditing commit
tee had never done anything
more than to casually examine
his accounts. while for the past three
years they bad not looked at them at all.
He said he could not tell how the money
had gone, but thought he had been too
accommodating and had let every one
have money who asked for it.
He claims that he gambled but little,
drank even less, and was not particu-
larly partial TO the society of fast
women. He thinks he can fix up the
matter, as he says he has about $50, 900
worth of property, and he processes
TO believe that his friends and bonds
men will make up the balance without
causing him trouble. He says that he
did not want to leave home, but his
attorney and his friends told him that
they could not save him from the peni-
tertiary, and advised him to skip. He
had only $40 on him when arrested. He

EFFECTS OF STORMS.
Details of Disasters Begin to BE
Recorded.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-AddItioual details
of disasters af1oat flom the terrific gales
which have prevailed along the coasts
recently continue to be received.
This morning the body of sailor,
having life-belt around his
chest and waist, floated ashore near
Yarmouth, in the midst of quantity of
wreckage. 1t is feared that this fur
nishes evidence that d large ship has
been wrecked near that port. A Var
mouth fishing lugger, with her entire
crew. foundered during the gales.
One of the effects of the great storm
was seen to-day in the washing ashore
near Confession, Sussex, of the stern of
the ship Margaret John, from Little
Hampton. Four bodies were recovered
from the wreck. Nothing is known of
the fate of the rest of the crew.
Advices from Tunls state that the
force of the recent storm was sharply
felt on the southern coast of the Medi-
terranean. A large wall in the city of
Tunis, which had been undermined by
the food, collapsed and buried thirty
natives. AT last accounts rescuing parties
were digging away at the debris to re-
cover the bodies of the victims.
