than S125, 900 on building and stocks The
mill stands close by the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad, and all traffic

AT LEAST TEN DEAD.
Divers to Search the Hull OF tho Ruined

Divers to Search the Huh OF tho Ruined
Steam er Golden Rule.
CINCINNATI, April L.-Up to P. NJ.
none of the bodies of those lost on the
steamer Golden Rule have been recovered.
As the time passes and the
missing are not found, it becomes
almost certain that the fatalities are Miss
Nellie Maloney, Cincinnati; Mrs. O'Leary,
cook; Frank T. Riley, mate; Buck Warner,
deckhand; William Madison, deckhand;
Mathomer, deckhand, and four unknown
deckhands, which makes ten. The ex-
animation of the hold cannot be made
until diver comes, which will not be before
tomorrow.
In strange contrast with the destruction
of "a hours ago was the scene at the wharf
boat this evening, where the Golden Rule
was burned. Then teamsters were cutting
their horses loose and hurrying them away
from the enveloplng flames, and wagons and
freight were Tapped up by the flames. 1t
now appears almost miracle that the hull
of the wharfboat is intact, and two
large steamers were alongside this evening"
receiving their freight from the roofess
wharfboat. A diver arrived this afternoon
and made preliminary examination of the
sunken hull He found the engines and
boilers fallen through into the hold and the
deck in other places broken. He discovered
no dead bodies, because his search was not
for that purpose. As the river is now fall
ing, it will be an easy matter soon to make
a thorough investigation.

CLEVELAND, April lit was stated to-day
that an effort was being made to save Ralph
X. Paige, the cashier of the gainesville
Bank, from prosecution for forgery. 1t is
said the whole amount of forged paper is
but $20,O0O and several of Paige's friends
here have agreed to help him out II the
amount is no larger than that The Produce
Exchange Bank here, which caused Paige's
arrest, is said to have agreed not to prose-
cute If terms favorable to that institution
can be made.
There are no other developments in the
case to-day: Paige is still in Jail having

Co., the New York contractors, since last
Tuesday. when he mailed letter in New

and it is said he will ask Inspector Byrnes
and New York detectives to help him locate
the missing man. Nearly every mail brings
notices to John Huntington's representa-
tives of the protesting Of the paper bearing
Huntington's Endorsement, but the paper
has been pronounced spurious and will not
be paid. A statement published to the effect
blank, and permitted Paige, Carey & Co. to
fill it out, is announced as false by Hunting
toms representatives.
A dispatch from New York says: It was
learned yesterday that the amount of Paige,
Carey 4 Co.'S paper held by the North
River Bark at the time of its failure was
$45O00O. 1t bears various Endorsements.

of it. All of this paper is long overdue and
STANDS protested, payment having been re-
fused on numerous pretexts. Mr.. Higgins,
the receiver of the bank, and his attorneys,
Durnin & Hendrick, say that the paper is
genuine, and that they still hope to effect
settlement. So far as It Is known no legal
proceedings have been begun against Paige,

of Mrs. Osborne.
LONDON, April L-Society in London
has hardly recovered from Mrs. Florence
Ethel Osborne's trial and conviction than
another pearl case" is threatened. Thus
far those who discuss the affair are very
chary about names. A well-known society
lady, the wife of an officer in the army,
some time ago missed a. very valuable
brooch. Just prior to missing 1t she was
packing a trunk or handbag, and she
thought for time that the brooch had been
misplaced. Some little time later she was
visiting jewelry store an6 saw displayed
for sale brooch that resembled hers in
every respect. She asked to be allowed to
examine the brooch, and soon found beyond
doubt that it was the one she had lost
She asked the jewellers where they got it,
and they. told her it had been sold to them
by certain lady, mentioning the name Of
her bosom friend. Then the officers wife
recalled that this friend had helped her at
the time she was packing, and she was left
no other option than to believe that her
friend had stolen the brooch. The officers
wife at once wrote her friend charging her
with the theft. The bosom friend at once
communicated with her solicitors, laid the
letter before them and instructed them to
Immediately begin action for libel

Only -Four in the Mill, but They Are Broken
Into Fragments.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 1.-This
afternoon the Sterling Dynamite Works al
Bessemer exploded, killing four men. The
explosion was in the gas reservoir and its
force was tremendous, nearly every glass in
a town of 5000 people being broken. The
shock was plainly felt in this city, '15 miles
distant. Fire followed, and the ruins are
burning. The explosion was in the pack
ing house of the dynamite factory, where
four men were engaged in packing and one
at the engine. Nobody knows the cause of
the explosion. Seven people in all were
about the building but only the four inside
were hurt
The killed are: G. s. Hartley, Walter
Lake, Ed Boykin and Frank Boykin, a boy.
All were horribly mutilated except the
boy. Nothing was found of Lakes body
except one of his feet and piece of scalp.
Arms, limbs, tongues, heads and trunks Of
bodies were so scattered that it was impos-
sible to get the fragments Of the same body
together. All the men we're experienced
workmen. A flying piece of timber struck
an old gentleman named Prickett in the
breast and knocked him senseless.

BISMARCK NOT FORGOTTEN.

BERLIN, April 1.-Prince Bismarck is 77
years old to-day. The day has been marked
by the attendance at Friedrichsrhue, where
the Prince resides OF a much larger number
of persons than usual The Prince is cele-
brating the day in his usual manner. He
held reception in the park and had a
hearty word for all who called on him. He
looked remarkably well. An immense
number of floral gifts were sent to him from
all parts of the Empire.
Numerous deputations from various parts
of the country waited upon Prince Bis
marck and congratulated him. In thank
ing deputation, representing 10, 900 miners
in the Bochum district. the Prince said that
coal and iron were closely associated with
husbandry. He himself is farmer, and
he never credited aspersions upon the
Bochum industry. Tonight the place was
brilliantly illuminated, and a torchlight
procession was held. The Princes birth
day was celebrated in this city and other
places throughout Germany. A telegram

NO HOPE FOR ORE MEN.

They Need Not Expect a Better Price for
Raw Iron for Some Time.
CLEVELAND, April L-The Iron Trade Re-
Uie,O says: If the situation remains un-
changed the result is due to the prevalence
on the one side of marked distrust, and on the
other to the apathy of all the interest CEN
tered in the iron trade. There is absolutely
no movement of ore. People we'll informed
upon the subject undertake to say if there
were any ore market to-day the price would
be down to the very cost of production. 1t
will do the ore men little good to hold on to
their product in the hope of a betterment at
some time or other. On the contrary, they
will pocket their loss and then suspend OPP
erations: The furnacemen are doing moth
ing to relieve the great surplus of material
that is crowding the market. The pig iron
men are in q bad way, and they know it.
How to get relief Is the question that is
daily asked, and although they are all
agreed in principle that nothing will ac-
complish the desired object but a concerted
move to shut Off all further production until
the great glut in the market is relieved,
most of them are slow to put their opinion
to the practical test. About the only peo-
pie in the market who are serene and take
no heed of the future, are the vessel men.
They are assured of 20, ,000, 900 bushels of grain
to come down from the hoad of the lakes
and charters are plenty at 4 cents from
Duluth.
