WASHINGTON, April 2S.--In the house,
the committee on banking and currency
yesterday began the investigation
ordered by the Mutchler resolution into
the failures of the Keystone and Spring
Garden. National banks of Philadelphia.
Andrew j. Sarden, assistant book-keeper
and collector of the Keystone National
bank, swore that he knew where the
books of the bank were in which false
entries had been made. The witness
said Lawrence, one of the employees,
kept the books in part of which he made
the forged balances The amounts were
doctored by rubbing them off the book
and making false charges. Sarden said
he saw Lawrence make an entry for
John Bardsley for $40, 900 or $50, 900.
He said they put him out of the bank
one night while they doctored the books
and that limitations of his handwriting
had been on the books, which, upon see-

men last night surrounded the house of
Rufus Jenkins, deposed minister, near
cambridge, and ordered him to surrender.
He answered their summons by firing
into the crowd with a shot gun. The

Alaska Explorers missing.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 2s.-Grave
fears are entertained as to the safety of
John Ingersoll and Steve Vaughn, who
left last November on prospecting and
trapping expedition around Cape Cau-
ton. They were last seen in the middle
of December by Frank Rothwell, who
was also on similar trip to that region.
When they left Alert bay they only took
provisions to last until March /, the
time they expected to return. Inquiries
have been made of all the steamers and
canoes coming down the coast, but no
one appears to have seen or heard any
thing of them. tits feared they have
met with some accident as Cape Can
ton and the adjacent waters are not
very safe for boats. Vaughn has wife
and family in Seattle.

of the Deeming trial yesterday. The
Standard announces without reserve
that Deeming confessed to the lawyers
and doctors who examined him that he
committed the majority of the Jack the

article created sensation. When ar

depression. After the selection of the
jury, the demon listened closely to the

SIX PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH.
The Fire Had a Stubborn Hold on the
Building Before Aid Game.
UNUSUAL MADDENED srAMPEDE.
One crazed Individual Actually Carved
His Way Through the Mass
With a Knife

PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.-A very dis
astrous fire occurred here last night des-
troying nearly 81 ,000,0 900 worth of prop,
erty. killing several people and injuring
half hundred others. 1t broke out on
the stage of the Grand Central theatre
shortly before the time set for the open-
ing of the play and spread with such
rapidity that it had stubborn hold
upon the building before the firemen
arrived. The theatre and the Times
building adjoining were totally destroyed,
and several smaller buildings in the vi
cinity wrecked by falling walls. In the
excitement to get out of the theatre,
many were trampled and received iniur-
les from which, they will likely die. One
individual, maddeaed and brutalized,
drew a large knife and. cut his way
through the mass of people. Fifty-two
persons were cared for at the hospitals
in the vicinity. Several are reported
missing. The destruction of the theater
proves far more terrible in it's results
than was anticipated. Six members of
the s'Devil's Auction Company lie dead
beneath the fallen walls Nearly three
score people are in the hospital suffering
from burns. OF the men and boys in
hospital, seven are in such serious con-
dition that their recovery is doubtful.
All were members of the audience. Be-
sides those seriously enough hurt to re-
main in the hospitals, fully fifty others
were treated for minor injuries. The
members of the company who lost their
lives are: Thomas Lorella, grotesque,
and wife Flora, ballet dancer; Vincen-
tina Chitten, premier danseuse, one of
the Chitten sisters; Fancheon Coniters,
juvenile; Sarah Golden, ballet dancer );
William L. Brooks, leading man. The
injured who are likely to die are: Harry
McCloskey, James Pigeon, Amos Hinch-
cliffe, Rand Patterson, Albert Cleum-
hacker, Thomas Atchison and Ralph

CHICAGO, April 2s.-During a gale
that swept through jackson Park yes
terday afternoon, sections of the south
and west walls of the manufacturers
and liberal arts building of the worlds
fair were wrecked. This is the biggest.
building ON the grounds. One tornado
followed another. About 80 p. M,
the first one hit the big building at the
southeast corner, and tore out 100
feet of the latticed woodwork that served
as wall. Three men were injured in
the wreck. Half an hour later another
tornado tore through the park, and in
its path left the wreck of the west wall,
100 feet long and sixty-six feet high.
Nobody was injured in the fall. When
the first section tumbled down all the
employees climbed down from the build.
ing. Nearly all of them were crowded
about the wrecked section when the
second tornado did the greatest damage.
Scores of workmen would have been
carried down with the falling timbers
had the west section given way first.
Warned of their peril by the collapse of
the south wall, they hurried down before
the second section fell. The wind blew
great guns all day, but the laborers kept
at their work. After the first crash
Frank Agnew, contractor for the carpen-
ter work on the building, ordered. his
men to make ready for another shock by
bracing the weaker sections of the build
ing. He was confident that the west
wall would stand against any storm, but
had less confidence in the strength of
the east wall, which stretches 1,71S feet
along the lake shore and is fully exposed
to the winds. Before his orders could be
carried out the second gale swept through
the park. 1t also came from the south
west and rushed through the building
with frightful velocity: The tornado
seemed to describe a circle across the
30-acre floor and strike the extreme
northwest corner of the building. The
first damage wasidone at the southeast
corner. The massive timbers trembled
and shook for an instant before the
blast. The whole section rocked, and a
deafening roar sounded through the
building. One of the heavy wall-piers
at the very corner of the building snap
ped and plunged forward with the CEN
ter of the wall, and as it fell it carried
down the next pier. south of it. The
whole wall crumbled, falling down by
piers and trusses, like so many blocks in
a row. In an instant the entire section,
700 feet long and sixty-six feet high, was
piled on the floor. The few workmen
who remained at their posts went down
with the wreck, but escaped injury.
Three of them jumped to save their lives.
This building is the largest fair building
in the world. 1t is 1 700 feet long by
$50 feet wide, and will cost 81, 500, 600.

strike were informed of the queer action
of McCleary. He stopped at num-
Der of places and made inquiries con-
corning the whereabouts of some of
the leaders, but did not succeed IN find
ing any of them. II is not believed that
the sheriff had the warrants in his

The general opinion offered is that he
