just an

Ono young man who mad a :elative, a
little girl, missing, climbed into the
third floor of the rear of the east wing,
to look for evidence of the body of the
n he knew. On his way over the roof
connecting the north and southeast
wings he stumbled over a pair of braces.
He picked them up and looking at them
said: "Those are her braces, where can
she be? A little bit afterward the body
of the one for whom he was looking
was taken from under a pile of debris, a
blackened and almost unrecognizable
mass. Many pairs of braces were un-
earthed in the ruins showing that some
of the un%fortunates in their efforts to
escape had Embossed their braces and
thrown them away.
The police took possession of trunks
and many valuables that were left in
some rooms undestroyed. The patients
nearly all had considerable money with
them which wa left in their rooms in
their haste to fly. During the forenoon
four or five pocketbooks were found by
the officers. In some of the books there
was as much as $3.50. All of these valu-
ables were turned over to the officers of
the institution.

Horrible Holocaust,

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-Nineteen dead
and two score or more injured people,
most of them fatally, is the awful result
of a fire in the Indiana Surgical Insti.
tute at this place last night. Thus far
nineteen have been taken from the ruins
and it is more than likely that the re-
mains of many more are buried under
the charred timbers. The scenes about
the burning building we're heart-rending
in the extreme. The fire was discovered
at midnight and three alarms brought
out the entire department. When the
fire department arrived the windows
we're full Of screaming, moaning cripples
and the scene was one of horror. The
work of rescue was begun at once with
ladders, and the inmates were removed
with great rapidity. About 600 people
we're in the building at the time of the
fire, and not until after daylight was it
known that any were missing. Search
for the bodies began at 8 a. m. and has
continued ever since by hundreds Of
volunteers. The building was a verita-
BILE death trap. The halls we're narrow
and there was no proper exits in case of
fire. The loss on the building and con-
tents is about $780, DOC.

Dependent on Charity.

SIOUX CITY, a., Jan. 25.-1n an old
woodshed not fit for the habitation of a
beast, and in a bed of miserable rags, a
woman 81 years old was found, who is
the daughter of the millionaire General
Pattison, who was notable in two wars.
She became the wife of Colonel Graham
and followed him to the Mexican war.
She was the heroine of the famous
charge at Chepultepec, rushing forward
with the storming party and picking up
the fallen flag and waving it at the
breastworks. She charges that her
half brother, Governor Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, defrauded her of her
share in her fathers estate, which was
valued at nearly $40, 900, 900. She had
$15, 900 when she came to Sioux City,
but lost it. For four winters she has
lived in absolute restitution in a wood
shed in the rear of the residence of a
lawyer who has attended to the litiga-
ton in which she was interested. This
winter she has depended entirely upon
the charity of a neighbor who sent her
food.

a%scertained it is probable that the fire
originated in the room where the print
ing matter, circulars, ETC., were kept.
This is on the ground floor in the rear
of the main building. Mrs. Copeland,
n of the rescued attendants, said that
an hour before the alarm of fire was
turned in the night Waterman came to
her room and asked her if she was burn
ing paper. She told him she was not.
and in a few minutes he again asked
her. This proves that the fire had been
smouldering for some time. When the
department arrived and turned in on
Georgia street the scene that was pre-.
sented beggared description. From the
second, third and fourth story windows
women clad in their night robes, were
clinging and crying out in their horror
and desperation at the prospect of death
either from the roaring, cracking
flames, or from a jump to the ground
below. The scene, as it appeared to
those who first reached the place of de-
struction. is one that will never be for
soon to tho rescue and words of encour-
agement were spoken to those above.
Ladders were raised to the windows
and the work of rescuing those in the
rear end of the building began. It was
here that the flames ragged most furious
ly and it was necessary to get the en-
dangered inmates down without delay.
In a few minutes all those who had been
seen at the windows when the depart
ment arrived had been rescued, but
while the work was going on n or two
women driven to desperation by the
fierce heat and the thought of a horrible
death, leaped to the ground, possibly to
receive injuries from which they cannot
recover.
There were volunteers by the hun
dred, brave men who risked their lives
time and time again in the brief period
of fifteen minutes, to w the lives of
poor, crippled children, who would
arouse pity in the human breast any
time, but the sight of whom in the
midst of last nights fearful holocaust
caused strong men to shudder and grow
sick at heart. Tenderly the rescued
were carried to some temporary refuge
and placed under the care of kind hands
where the best physicians of the city
were ready to lend their aid.

After the Captain Pratt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--It is rumored
that the order sending the Philadelphia to
Chilean waters was a 'bIind" and that
instead she has been sent to The straits
of Gibraltar to meet the famous Capt.
Pratt now nearing completion in France
and which will, of course, come out
through the straits. The theory is that
if sent out during the next sixty days
the Capt. Pratt would be in an in
completed condltion-her big guns
not in place-and the Phila-
delphia would be more than
a match for her. At least one thing is
certain, the navy department is not Civ
ing out fer publication the true program.
Very little reliance can be placed on
newspaper reports.

A Magnificent Hall.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 25.-Although the city
was badly left in the contest for the
national Democratic convention, the
work of erecting a large auditorium for
mass meetings and conventions will be
rapidly carried on. One mill has been
added to the tax levy of 1892, which will
provide more than enough money to pay
for constructing and furnishing an audi
forum to seat $4,000 people. Without
going beyond the tax levy the hall will
later be made into a permanent audi
forum, seating between 5000 and 1000
people, Dr. W 1000 more than the
great Chicago auditorium.
The new st. Paul auditorium will be
built on ground belonging to the city,
and used for many years as the Central
market, part of the old walls being used
in the new structure. Its location could

oATHROUND TO KILL.
Something About the Society That Hss
Sworn to Take Judge Botkin's Life.

Something About the Society That Has
Sworn to Take Judge K Life.
NEW YoBK, Jan. 20.-A special to
The Times from Topeka, Kan, says,
The suspicion that there was an ryan
lied conspiracy to kill Judge Botkin,
an attorney named Pitzer, Sheriff Dunn
and two or three other persons in South
west Kansas, has been fully substanti-
ated. There are three men, residing in
adjoining counties, who have furnished
information and whose forecasts have
always been correct. While they are not
ready at this time to reveal the full
enormity of this criminal organization
they have detailed enough of its opera
lions to show that three separate oaths
bind the members to obey the
orders of the inner council even
though these orders involve the taking
OF life. The members swear to
Obey Orders Without Question,
even though they may be commanded to
take the life Of their dearest relative. In
the counties of Haskell, Grant, Stevens
and Seward, there are sixty-ive men,
bers, all of whose names have been fur
nlshed Judge Botkin. These mon are
taken only from the Alliance, and even
then the utmost care is used in selecting
proper material. The meetings are held
at Springfield and W%oodsdale, where
the three degrees are taken. The first
degree binds the members to stand by
each other in public and private, and to
defend each other at the risk of life if
necessary. The applicant is pledged
under the penalty of having his resi-
dence burned, and his stock and crops
destroyed, never to reveal aught that
may come to his knowledge concerning
the actions of any member.
When taking the second degree he
swears to join any member or mem
bers in the protection of their rights
and in %resenting any personal affront or
injury. II he fails in responding when
called upon or reveals any contemplat-
ed action on the part of members, his
life may be declared forfeited by the
action of the council to which he
belongs. In taking the final degree he
places himself at the disposal of the
inner council in life and death. He
swears to faithfully execute any orders
issued by the council. He is given to
understand that the power of this
secret order of justice will be directed
against the enemies of one or all of the
organization.

BURIED THE PRINCE.
Funeral Servicds for Albert Vic
tor at San~dringham.

tor at Sandringham.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-The funeral OF
Prince Albert Victor of Wales, Duke of
Clarence and Avondale, who died at
Sandringham parish church, where the
body has been lying since Saturday last,
upon a bed Of violets and lilies, in a
plain but handsome oak coffin made
from wood cut neal the spot where the
young prince died and fashioned in the
n~elghboring village. The religious SER
vice in Sandringham church were con-
fined to members of the royal family
and to the household of the Prince of
Wales. After the prayers for the dead
had been read by Rev. Fred Jhervey,
NJ. A, domestic chaplain to the Princess
OF Wales, the services were concluded
with the reading of psalms, the singing
of one hymn, most significant to all
present. The hymn was: ''Thy Will
Be Done"
At the conclusion of the ceremonies at
Sandringham the coffin was conveyed to
Wolferton station, where a special train
was in waiting to convey the body to
Windsor. The body was taken to the
station upon a gun carriage, like that of
any officer of the army, and the Prince
of Wales, accompanied by the Duke of
Fife, walked the whole distance, two
miles, between the little church and the
depot, directly behind the coffin. The
mourners followed the funeral cortege
in carriages. AS the body passed on its
way to the station the school children,
tenants, servants and villagers fell into
line behind it and accompanied the re-
mains to the spot where they were en-
parked upon the train. The funeral
cars passed the outskirts of London at Q
o'clock D. m.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The recall Of
Minister Egan has been formally re-
quested of Secretary Blaine by Minister
Montt, the head of the Chilean legation

base their request for his recall upon the
allegations that Egan has been guilty

States. A crisis is believed to be reach

the heart of the city, within five min
utes walk of nearly all the hotels, and
passed by all but one street car line.
That everything has been provided for
would appear from the plans. These
contemplate a temporary auditorium
with $4,000 seats, to be perfected into a
music hall seating over 5000, and hav-
ing an art gallery at one end and the
public library at the other.
The platform or stage will be at the
Seventh street end of the auditorium,
but a solid wall behind it will shut off
the noises of the street, and access will
be had through corridors up either side
of the hall. The seats in the front of
the auditorium will be below the street
level, and the seats will rise towards the
rear, thus giving q perfect view of the
platform, while the back seats will be
so high above the street that a passage
way can be made under them, and other
parts of this space under the floor will
be used for foyers, toilet rooms, parlors
and other conveniences Of a modern
convention hall. Large stairways will
connect the ground floor foyer with the
foyers at the rear Of the main floor, bal
cony and gallery, and intermediates
foyers that connect the balcony and gal
leries by tunnels, giving ample passages
and standing room, so as to prevent.
crowding while the audience is passing
in or out.
Committee rooms will be located in
the old structure and are easy of access
from the convention floor. That very
important part Of every convention, the
press, has been handsomely provided
for. Six hundred or more desks are
provided and located to the right and
left of the platform, and yet so well for
ward that everything can be seen and
heard. Telegraph service is provided.
in Offices outside the hall proper but
close at hand, and, by the use of tubes,
''copy" can be sent from any desk direct
to the telegraph Office without the
writer having to leave his chair.
or twist his neck off and break his
knuckles in search for a messenger.
Both the Western Union and the North,
American Tor PostaD companies will
have Offices in the building during con
ventions, with a sufficient force 10
handle all that may be offered.
Altogether, the City of st. Paul may
well feel proud of the auditorium she is
building. The building will be COM;
pleted by midsummer.
In a year or two, when the new state
capitol will be under construction, tenn.
porary quarters will have to be provid-
ed for the state officers. The old market
hall, or what will remain of it, will suf-
fee for that purpose. After that, the
st. Peter street or west end Of the
building will become IN art gallery, and
the public library, now cramped in the
city hal, will be located in the WAbasha
street. or east end.

made a strong fight, but as they
had no chance of winning they
threw their votes to Chicago.
