A SUNDAY FIRE.
Flames In the Attic of 64 Poplar Street Causes About S1, 500 Damage A Sick Woman Carried from the Burning House.

Flames in the Attic of 64 Poplar
 Street Causes About S1, ,5OO Damage
 A Sick Woman Carried from the
 Burning House.
 It was an immense crowd which collected at 10:15 yesterday morning to witness the burning of a frame house at GA Poplar street, near Wolcott street. The time was just as people were beginning to go to church, and the attendance on public wor- ship was somewhat lessened in conse quence The house, two story and two tenement structure, is owned by James Callahan, an employe of the New Haven Clock company, and was purchased two years ago of w. H. H. Hewitt. MT. Calls- han occupied the lower tenement and John Gridley, employed by 0. E. Hall of Brewery street, lived above. The fire originated in the attic, apparently about four feet from the chimney. Gridley says that both fam flies had heavy fires in their stoves yester- day, and he believes that the fire very likely ignited from the chimney and and was for several hours in a slumbering condition in the partitions. Callahan says, however, that 1t was ap- parent that the fire took too far away to proceed from the chimney. He says it might have been caused by spontaneous COnDuStlOn. DOtn Ln6u say Indt they uau no lighted lamps or matches in the attic, neither did their children play with match es. The principal damage by fire is in the attic, which is pretty well burned out, as is the north side of the roof The first and second floors are also damaged badly by water, and the walls and ceilings are ruined. Callahan had an insurance of S, ,000 on the house and he believes that his loss will reach half that amount and possibly 5000. His household effects were not insured, but most of them were saved. Gridley's goods were not insured and are badly damaged by breakage in removal and from water. He says he will lose S200 or $500. Mrs. Callahan had been confined only week ago and had to be removed from her bed to the nearest neighbours. Both occupants were moving their household effects to empty tenements near by yesterday after noon. The fire department responded to the call from box 75. There was fresh wind blow ng which famed the flames, but the firemen soon had the blaze under control.

California Prisoners Demand Better
 Food and Less Favoritfsm shown
 Avenues of Escape Are Guarded by
 Armed Men.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The convicts in the jute mill at San Quinton struck yes- terday. Nearly 200 prisoners threw down their tools and defied the officers to make them work. The convicts demanded more and better food, more tobacco, and they wanted less favoritism shown. They also demanded to be taken before the board of prison directors, where they might state their case. The convicts made bold stand, but the guards were quickly sum- moned and every avenue of escape was covered, while armed men filled the doors of the jute mill, where the insurrection started. The convicts resumed work after obtaining permission to appoint commit tee of five to appear before the prison di- rectors. After listening to the complaints from the committee the prison directors informed the men that the food was good enough, and the next time there was an outbreak it would be punished by solitary confinement. This is the second strike at the prison during the week, the convicts having stopped work last Wednesday to enforce the demand for better food.

 A Train Load of Passengers Hurled
 over a Fifteen-fOot Embankment-
 Thirty-eight People Injured.
 DENVER, Sept, 13.-Passenger train No. 324, bound toward Denver on the Gray mont division of the Union Pacific railway was wrecked this morning about il o'clock near Beaver Brook station and twenty three passengers were injured, five of whom will probably die. The train was late and running very rapidly. When rounding sharp curve the express car left the track and rolled down fifteen foot embankment. It was followed by the mail car and two passenger coaches, one of which turned over twice before reach ing the bottom.
 The train was loaded with passengers, many of whom were Knights of Pythias returning fro m the state convention of the order, which was held at Aspen last week. When the news reached Golden, Col, a wrecking train was ordered out and was starting when Robert Pruin, an employe of the road, attempted to board the engine. In doing so his revolver fell from his hip pocket, the hammer striking stone, and the weapon was discharged, the ball taking effect in the mans neck, making wound which will result fatally. Those seriously injured in the wreck were left at Golden, iu the hands of physicians, while those moi badly hurt were, brought to this city and ! taken to their homes and hospitals. The seriously injured are:
 Mrs. Gutchmacher of Black Hawk, Col. | collar bone broken, back hurt and interna l injuries.
 Ruhferner, merchant of Black Hawk, in ternal injuries.
 George B. Tarr, conductor, of this city chest crushed and internal injuries.
 Waters, injured internally. Itis not known exactly what caused tn wreck, bttas the train wasa 8 narrow guag and the coaches top-heavy, it is though that the train was running too rapidly fo safety.

Uary for the ensuing year.
The Association being entitled
to me delegate in the National
Press Association to be held at st.
Paul, Minnesota, July 14th next,

Free Coinage eff Silver.

DENVER March 24.-The Trans
missippi congress voted for the
coinage of American silver and
then adjourned to meet at Omaha
in next October. The extreme
Western delegates carried the con-
vention by storm, and the agricul-
tural States had only feeble
hearing, hence the result. The
result OF the Omaha meeting re-
mains problematical. At that
meeting will be adopted the reso-
Iutions to be submitted to the
National Congress, and with the
possibility of more complete repre-
sensations from the delegations
who were this week in Cincinnati,
the silver resolutions may be
amended to provide for the coin
age Of American silver only. The
closeness of the vote before adj
iournment demonstrates that the
silver men overestimated their
strength, although Iowa. Louis
lana, Kansas Nebraska, and Ar
kansas were not in the convention.
The vote was So to So in favor of
unlimited free coinage.

The buy Trial.

The trial of Geo. Duffy, charged
with burglary, began yesterday be-
fore Judge Rising.
District Attorney Edwards is as
sisted by Thos. Wells, for the pros
ecution, and VIM. Woodburn and
Sardis Summerfeld for the de-
Tense.
The prosecuting witnesses, Har-
nv Friedlander and All Sing,
claimed to have lost $305 in gold
and some jewelry taken out of the
safe.
Edward Taylor, colored wit
ness, testified that the defendant
proposed to him to go into the
burglary on shares, and he de-
clined.
The Sheriff testified that he
took defendants shoes and found
that they fitted the tracks near
the building where the safe was
opened.
In the evening session a China
man testified that he saw Duffy
leave the building on the day of
the robbery.
The defendant then took the
stand. He denied all allegations,
and said he never made any prop
osition to Taylor; he had done a
good deal of work for Cinnamon
fixing clocks; the tools found in
his house were tools to repair
clocks; he had worked for Dick
Mills and purchased keys of him;
he had made keys for All Sing; he
denied entering the house; had
purchased the shoes he wore Of
All Sing, and All Sing wore shoes
exactly the size of his. He said
Friedlander had tried to compro-
mise the case, and offered to do so
if he would give up the money,
but defendant had declined as he
had no money; it. was true that
his wife had been trying in every
way to 1aise money to make his
defense.
All Wing swore that Duffy YVES
In his house from / 80 to $50, the
time the robbery occurred.
Mr.. Bryan, the restaurant man,
testified that Taylor had told him
the safe was robbed the day after
the robbery. He said that if it
was robbed he guessed Pale-Faced
Harry had robbed himself, and
Taylor said he guessed so too; con-
sidered the negro's character bad,
and he would not believe him un-
der oath.
Fong Wing corroberated the
other Chinaman's testimony as to
an alibi.
Adjourned till 10 this morning.

1000 barrels Of popcorn in barn.
The barn caught on fire and the
air was filed with showers ofpop-

hand, and she laid down under
three feet of popcorn and froze to
death.
