The Living Returning to Their Homes
A List of Identified Dead.
The situation on the west side appeared
more assuring last night. A careful in
vestigation was made yesterday, resulting
in the knowledge that not more than half
of the houses in this district are entirely
untenable. The fire has swept the upper
portion of the ward literally off the face
of the earth, and then through some freak
of the elements has skipped 200 yards or
more in extent and caught again in the
works and yards of the United Lumber g.

left their homes at the approach Of danger
and spent Sunday night on the hills re-

Probably One Hundred Dead.

Pittsburg Opens Her Purse.

PITTsBURG, June As a result of
Mayor Gourley's appeal to the citizens of
Pittsburg to render aid to the needy of
Oil City and Titusville, large number of
citizens responded. A relief committee
was appointed and placed in charge.
Donations Of funds and clothing and pro-
visions were very LIBERAL and last evening
a loaded train in charge of the committee
started for Oil City. All of the Pittsburg
daily papers have headed relief funds with
generous donations to which the public
are rapidly iding. Already handsome

THE POPE And BRAZIL
Church officials in That Country
Ask the Pontiff's Aid.
RECOMMENDATION THREATENED.

President Piexotto, His Cabinet and
the Members of Congress Liable
to Incur the Extreme Punishment
of the Church Unless State Sup
port Is Restored to the Clergy.
ROME, Jan. Sit is rumored that the
relations between the vatican and the
Brazilian government are so strained
that rupture is imminent. The pope,
it is said, has int,mated that he will ex-
communicate President Piexotto, his
cabinet and the members of the Brazil
ian congress unless measures are taken
to renew the former relations between
church and state in Brazil. The vatican
has received numerous complaints from
the Brazilian clergy of the disastrous
effect upon church interests of the policy
of separation adopted by the republic.
1t Is said that many churches are with
out pastors, and the seminaries are be-
ing deserted because the government
refuses to continue contributions for the
maintenance of the clergy and of chairs
in the seminal'ies
The prelates and priests who were in
ecclesiastical service at the time that
the convention between church and
state was abolished are still nominally
in receipt of salaries from the federal
treasury; but when bishop or priest
retlres or dies the salary is not continued
to his successor, SO that the death of
priest means the cessation Of salary to
his charge, and perhaps the closing of
church.
The Bishops Alarmed.
The Brazilian hierarchy did not at
first feel the effect of the change, but as
time progressed and salaries ceased the
bishops have become alarmed. Arch
bishop De Macedo Costa, primate Of
Brazil, has sent statement of the facts
and an earnest appeal for the assistance
OF the pope in returning the church to
its former place. In this the primate is
sustained by the whole hierarchy. 1t is
said on behalf of the ecclesiastics that
theer isno apparent prospect of voluntary
support of the church. The people
have been so long accustomed to the
state church that they will not con-
tribute to new priests without a state
salary and thrown upon the people for
support, and attempts to secure contri-
buttons for the priests salaries have
generally failed.
Although the provincial governments
are permitted by federal law to provide
for the support of religion, they have
omitted to make any such provision on
the plea that if the church is to have
public support the old system should
continue. 1t is reported that a papal
ultimatum will be presented to the Bra
lillian government, and if it is unfavor-
ably received it will be followed by ex-
communication. Among South Amer
leans in Rome the opinion prevails that
Brazil will not yield, and that hostile
action by the vatican will provoke retail
alton and bring about a complete with
drawal of state support.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The funeral Of
the late General NJ. G.. Meigs took place

COLUMBUS, Jan. Sat last the date Of

Ohl, of the senate caucus committee,

BALLoU DISAPPEARS.
Graves Legal Defender in the Barnaby
Case Among the Missing.

Case Among the Missing.
DENVER, Jan. 5.-Another sensation
has developed in the Graves case. Col
onel D. r. Ballou, of Providence, who
defended DR.. Graves, is missing. He
took the Rock Island train for Chicago
when the verdict was rendered, and
probably arrived there yesterday. This
is admitted by the proprietors of the
Vallejo, where the lawyer was stopping.
DR.. Graves denies the statement Of
the deputy marshal having him in
charge that he had confessed his guilt
and laid the blame upon Colonel Ballou.
He positively asserts his innocence.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-If Colonel D. r.
Ballou was arrested on his arrival in this
city the thing was done so quietly that
no city policeman or newspaper reporter
was able to verify it. Colonel Ballou
was expected to arrive in this city yes
terday over the Rock Island road on his
way back to his home at Providence,
and it was reported that he would be ar
rested on stepping from the train. 1t is
quite impossible to find out, however,
whether the colonel was arrested and
spirited away to some private detec-
tive" Office or allowed to go quietly on
his journey.

An American Westminster.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Senator Man
derson, who is erging the removal of
General Grants remains to Arlington
cemetery, says: "We ought to have at
the capital republican Westminster
abbey, where the remains of the presi-
dents could be gathered, and the in
fluence of their names and their lives be
still present among us. As it is now,
the presidents are buried in widely scat
tered spots, and in some cases, it is said,
the graves do not receive that care and
veneration which a grateful people
ought to be glad to bestow upon all that
is left of those who once presided over
the deStinies of this great nation"

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 5.-News
from Raymond City, Putnam county. is
to the effect that the white people of that
vicinity are almost terrorized because of
the constant rioting and disorders of
negro miners. Hardly day passes
without lis recording serious ARRAY
and shooting, stabbing and the use Of
clubs, etc, are increasing. The local
paper calls upon the citizens to take ac-
tion and says it will be but short time

LAREDO, Tex, Jan. SIT is said here
that Garza is surrounded in the chap
parral in the northwestern corner of
Zapata county by United States troops
and rangers, and that it is almost inn
possible for him to escape, either to the
northward or towards Mexico.
A reliable person, just in from the
vicinity of Garzas operations, reports
that Garza's men are in a sorry plight
as regards the horses with which his
men were mounted several weeks ago,
and which were all grass fed. The hard
usage that they have been put to since,
in section of country where there is no
corn or hay to be had, and the grass on
the range is dried up, has about used
them up. 1t is hardly possible that the
command can be kept together long dis
mounted. The United States cavalry in
that section is supplied with forage
hauled on OK carts from Laredo.
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. DISTINGUISHING of
an indecisive character continues be-
tween United States troops and Garza's
revolutionists in Starr and Duval
counties. The bandits, being more
active and better acquainted with the
brushy and broken character of the
country, continue to elude their pur-
suers without serious loss, meanwhile
remaining in the field and gathering
fresh accessions every day in either men
or moral support on both sides of the
Rio Grands. Despite this fact General
David S. Stanley, commanding this de-
partment, feels confident of either sup
pressing Cara or driving him from
American soil with the forces now in
the field.
Numerous copies of a proclamation
calling on all Mexicans to take up arms
under CARA have been distributed in the
Mexican quarter of this city. 1t was
promulgated by Juan Antonio Flores,
who was appointed commander of Gar
za's so called Army of the North four
weeks ago. The proclamation is said to
have been distributed in every city of
Mexico and the towns all along the
frontier. 1t is dated state of Nueva
Leon and is in Spanish.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Advices from Pa
hang, capital of the state of that name
on the Malay Peninsula, show that the
rising among the natives which began
in that state on Dec. 81 last has become
general. AT the beginning of the out
break armed police We're sent to quell
the revolt, but it has been found that
the rebels are in too strong force for the
police to cope with them. The British
resident and the sultan, with strong
force of Malays, have gone to suppress
the revolt. The trouble is attributed to
local hostility to the sultan.
