CURRENT CENSUS RUMORs.
Stories of Confessions That No
Are Certainly Premature.

Stories of Confessions That Now
Are Certainly Premature.
There is we'll defined rumor current
that Ed Stevens and Thad Dickey, who
stand indicted with dozen more with
conspiring to pad the Minneapolis cen
sus returns, have offered to plead guilty
to the indictments pending against
them in the hope that they two may be
made the scapegoats for all the indicted
ones. That such proposition has been
at least suggested, officials who are sup
posed to know will not deny outright.
That these two men, in company with
William III. EuStiS, were in st. Paul
day OF two ago, and were quite
DESTROYS of interviewing Special
District Attorney Baxter is we'll known
and the story of their object leaked out;
but what encouragement they met with
is not known for the reason that officials
did not feel at liberty to say. 1t is true
that the principals and Mr. Eustis deny
the story, and it is natural that they
should do so. There are several objects
to be gained by Stevens and Dickey
taking the course indicated. They
would obviate long and tedious trial
certain prominent citizens would also be
relieved from detailing in court what
they know about the matter. 1t is also
believed that by pleading guilty the
men will be let off with a fine only.
Besides all this, the story as
to the methods of taking the
census in Minneapolis would not be
gone over again, and the city's credit
would be saved from the sings and ar
rows of public scandal. 1t is not known
that the court while sitting at st. Paul
would be disposed to take the confess
sions of the men, as the cases are set for
trial at the March term. which meets in
Minneapolis. 1t is not the province OF a
court to indicate beforehand what its
sentence would be in case of pleading
guilty. 1t is also probable that Mr.. Bax-
ter may not feel that he would
be warranted in making any
ante-confession premises. In view
of these facts no confession may
be made until the March term. Capt.
Mason said yesterday that he did not
see why any Que Of those indicted
should receive immunity because Of the
confession of two or more. In fact, the
situation is such that until some step is
taken the less said the better. 1t is un-
fair to prejudice the case by presuming
upon confession which may not be
made, and it is equally unfair to Mime
apolis to drag in any of her citizens I'M
til such showing is made in court.

A Coal Pit Fire That Created an Awful
Fear for Awhile.
PIrTBURG, Dec. 27.-Fire in the mine of
the United Works Coke company yester-
day cremated sixteen mules, and for
time turned the vicinity of the shaft into
pandemonium of waling and shrieking
women and children, who thought that
their relatives were meeting the fate or
the mules. AS it turned out, however,
the damage was all to the property OF the
company, and no lives were lost. The fire
was caused by Stableman John Skrogs'
lamp setting fire to barrel OF oil. which
exploded. The burning oil scattered all
about the underground stable. Skrogs
battled with the flames, but without eff
feet, and barely gained the top OF the
shaft when the flames followed him, set
ting fire to everything of an infammable
nature.
A Terrible Apprehension Relieved.
There were 100 men at work in the burn
ing mine. At the first alarm the entire
population OF the village rushed to the
burning shaft and babel of shrieking
voices filed the air. Half an hour later a
hopeful cheer came from the door of an
air shaft short distance away that
changed the wailings of the almost frantic
people into shouts of joy as they saw their
friends crawling out of the little hole In
the ground to place of safety. All OF the
miners were saved. Mine Master William
West had discovered the flames and given
a timely warning to the workingmen who
