DE REINACH MURDERED.

Sensation the Panama Canal Scandal
->isin to Iasure His silence.
PARIS, Dec. H.-In tie greater excite
ment attending the proceedings in the
Chamber of Deputies and the revela
tions compromising so many prominent
men in the Panama Canal scandal sight
has been lost to certain extent of the
autopsy of Baron de Reinach, whose
mysterious death has been attributed to
various causes-apoplexy, suicide and
murder. 1t is said to-day, however,
that evidence has been discovered that
Baron de Reinach was murdered. The
names of several prominent men are
cautiously connected with the alleged
crime.
Figaro to-day states that it has infCr
nation to the effect that Dr.. Brouardel,
who had charge of the post-mOrtem
examination, has reported to the gov
ernment that apCplexy was not the
cause Of the Baron's death. His report,
the Figaro adds, says that Baron de
Reinach was poisoned, and that poison
was taken into his stomach eight hours
before death. The Figaro further says
that the family of Baron de Relnach are
aware OF tue contents OF the report
and have demanded that Judicial in
quiry be held to prove that the Baron
did not commit suicide.
1t has been more than limited that
Baron de Relnach WAS put out OF the
way by those who feared that his evil
dence might implicate them in the
scandal. If it is true that the poison
was in his stomach eight hours before
his death, there would be good reason
to believe that this terrible charge
against certain men is true, for on the
night of the Baron's death he, together
with NJ. Rouvier and NJ. Clemenceau,
attempted to secure cessation OF the
newspaper attacks that were being
made upon him.
1t is not at all probable that had de
Reinach contemplated suicide Re would
have gone to the trouble to stop at
tacks that in few hours would have
been nothing to him, and neither would
he have displayed such deep feeling as
to the result of these attacks. Horrible
as it may seem, there is no denying the
fact that some of those implicated in the
scanda! would have felt greatly relieved
if Baron de Reinach was dead and
beyond giving evidence that wonld be-
smirch their heretofore good names.
The TACT that the Baron's death was
linked to the sudden and mysterious
deaths OF two other men who were cog
infant of the bribery of Legislators gives
added strength to the demand OF the
Baron's family that an inquiry be held
to place the responsibility for his death
where it belongs.
lie Gaulois has an interview to-day
with NJ. AndrieuX, the former pretecs
OF police, who, in the course OF the in
terview, associated Baron de Rel
nach's death with an attempt made
two years ago to poison DR.. Cornelius
Hers. These articles have reawakened
interest in the matter, and the official
report of the result of the autopsy is

FLAMES In A BIG MINE.
Mahanoy City Coliiery APPARENT
Doomed to Destructinn

Mahanoy City Coliiery Apparently
Doomed to Destruction
PoTTsvILLE, Pa. Dec. A.-Firs was
discovered in the Reading Company's
West Mahanoy City colliery last night,
and has been burning since, working it's
way into the inner workings. 1t has
already reached the Buck Mountain
vein. A nest of sixteen boilers and
several outbuIldlngs have sunk into the
NINE by the burning away of the tim
Ders. The damage already runs high
into the thousands.
The tire WAS discovered at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, since which time
IT has been raging most turiously in the
deCayed tlmbers, taking q course to-
ward the main part of the mine. In
spite of the endeavors Of 100 or more
men, using several lines of hose, it had
at O'Clock, reached the Buck Mount
ain VEIN, which was worked some years
ago through this drift.
As soon as the fire WAS discovered
prompt measures were taken to subdue
II before 1t reached the inner workings.
A number OF miners entered the drift
TO night the flames. They had gone in
q considerable distance when Fire Boss
Nlthey and miner Henry Dernstsel were
overcome by the gas. All..were affected,
but the others managed TO drag the two
men about forty yards towards the
mouth o'the DRIFT, where they received
assistance from the outside. Both men
are III serious condition. When water
was first thrown on from the line of
hose, an explosion occurred which
hurled he pipeman several wards down
the drift, badly burning and lnjurlng
him, but not fatally.
A. O'Clock this morning q terrible
crash was heard and that part of the
drift directly beneath the boilers col
lapsed, carrying eight sets Of boilers,
sixteen In all. into the breach. The
fire is now being fought from the slope,
and although it was still burning furI-
ously at 10 O'clock this morning, the
officials have hopes thGt by cutting off
this part of the mine from all drsught,
and the use of plenty water, it can be
gotten under control.
The tremen who had charge of the
boilers how say that they have noticed
for some time the presence of fire some
where, but could not locate it, and
therefore did not notify the officials,
thinking 1t of no consequence. The
North Mshanoy colliery is one of the
largest coal producers in the Mahanoy
Valley. Its present capacity is about
500 tons daily, employing over 600 men

Reason for Delay in the Prosec of
The Rorden Murder Case.
TAUNTON, Mass, Dec. 24.-There is no
lntimatlon yet IN regard to time OF ar
raigning Miss Borden for the murder Of
her father and stepmother. 1t is as
serted that the government is in no
hurry to have the case presented, be-
cause of belief that she is insane, or if
not so now. she will be before the trial.
If she is insane, the enormous expense
of trial will be avoided and the ends
OF Justice practically attained. If
she is placed on trial, the only import
ant fact to be explained will be in re-
gard to the dress ana for the first time
the details of that affair are now made
public. Miss Russell and the two Misses
Borden were IN a room on the third
or fourth day after the murders. Liz
zie went out and then came into the
room again, holding in her hand a dress
which she pointed to, at the same time
saving: They are making so much fuss
over things about here that guess that
! will burn this. 1t is an old
dress upon which | spilled some
red paint" She passed out into
the kitchen and put the dress into the
fire. When the officers in their search
found piece of this dress in the ashes,
they sought to learn what it meant, and
it was for this reason that the New Bed
ford purchase was SO closely examined
into. Miss Russell said nothing about
this matter at the first hearing nor did
Emma Borden; but when Miss Russell
was asked point blank in regard to the
occurrence the day be ore the grand
Jury reported, she told the story.

Wv LOSS.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26.-Intermingled
with the Joyous Christmas bells yester-
dav afternoon was the unmusical chime
of the fire alarm, which was sounded
for two disastrous fires, the loss from
which will have to be added to the a.
ready long list Of large fires which have
visited Milwaukee during 1892.
The first fire was in the building
known as the keenan, flour mill, south
west corner of Chicago and East Water
streets and while that structure was
still IN flames second clang of the fire
bells gave notice that the immense
plant of the gem Knitting x Fly-net
Company. Isl to lSS Hanover Street,
was in flames. The loss on both Dulld-
ings and their contents will be total
one, and will amount to AT least $780,
900.
The origin of the fire is shrouded in
mystery, and so quickly did the second
fire start after the first one was discov-
cred that the suspicion was openly eX-
pressed by members of the fire depart
ment that both were of lncendiary orr
GIN. Superintendent Curtin, of the
fire insurance patrol, holds the belief
most strongly, and said last night that
he could find no natural cause which
would explain the reason for either
fire. Certain it is that when the hrc
engines arrived on the scene at both
fires the buildings were completely en-
veloped in flames and their destruction
wa inevitable
