Woman and Child Burned TO Death In Fire
Near Batesville Yesterday.

SPECIAL to the Indianapolis Journal.
BATEsvILLE, Ind, May 1S.-The large
country residence belonging to Walter
Fitch, near here. burned at 8 O'Clock this
morning. The family, consisting of Mr..
Fitch and wife. with six small children, to-
gether with Mrs. KNAPP. a relative. made
their escape from the building. but after
wards Mr.. Fitch re-entered the house to OBJ
tain some clothing for the family. He was
followed in by Mrs. Knap and his daughter
Leah. aged eight. Fitch made his escape
again. but the old lady and little girl were
caught by the falling roof and burned to
death. Mr.. Fitch did not know the woman
and child had returned TO the house until
too late to save them. His distracted wife
had to be held from plunging into the fire
in vain effort to rescue her bright little
daughter. The charred and uprecognizable
remains of Mrs. Knap were recovered from
the ruins late this afternoon. but no trace
of the missing child had been found and it
looks as IL not even o charred bone was
left of the daughter. whose young life was
so needlessly sacrificed. The origin of the
fire and amount of insurance are unknown.

RUSSELL HARRISON ENUMERATED.

He Had No knowledge of the Yellowstone
Park Stock Being Issued in His Name.
WASHINGTON. May 1S.-The House public
lands committee engaged in investigating
the leases to the Yellowstone Park Associa-
tion, to-day. heard President Oakes. of the
Northern Pacific railroad. in regard to his
knowledge of the shares of stock. amount.
ing to $1,000, which. it was alleged. were
set aside for Russell Harrison. Mr.. Oakes
began his testimony by stating that the
Northern Pacific railroad had an interest
in the Yellowstone Park Association val
ued at 100000. And it also had. indirectly,
q small interest in the transportation COM
pany. Regarding the stock set aside for
Russell Harrison. Mr.. Oakes stated that
business. and he had been instructed
while there to assist in getting the
leases. Waters however, had expressed
doubt as to his getting access to the
Interior Department, but was sure this
could easily be overcome through Russell
Harrison. whom he knew. and IN compen-
sation for this Mr.. Harrison was to have
some stock In the company set aside for
HIM. Mr.. Oakes testified that he had said
that if Mr.. Gibson had no objection to this
procedure he had none. Nothing more had
been said about it until the letter regard
ing the transfer was received from Waters.
in which he stated that S.. coo in stock had
been set aside for MI. Harrison.
In response to an inquiry by the chair
man. Mr.. Oakes stated that he knew Mr..
Harrison very we'll, and on occasions that
they had met nothing more than q mere ex-
change of compliments had passed be-
tween them. He was confident that Mr.
Harrison was ignorant of the fact that
any stock had been put aside for him. The
certificates of stock for Mr.. Mr.. Harrison
had been prepared, witness said. and made
ready for Mr.. Gibson's signature. but at q
subsequent meeting of the board of di-
rectors it was agreed not to issue them. on
the ground that the leases had been OBJ
tanned without any difficulty, and were
merely repetition of previous leases.

causing q terrible loss of Lille. The water
poured into the mines so quickly that the
unfortunate men who were engaged av
work in the lower levels received no warn
ing of their danger. and before they had O
chance to escape they were struggling IN

ousiy engulfed them. They struggled des-

the mines which seemed likely TO afford
them place of safety; but the water rap
idly rose higher and higher. and in a short
time every avenue of escape was shut of.
and the men perished mlserably. IL is
known that twenty-five men are dead In
one pit alone. and that many more have
lost their lives in other pits.
Owing to the great excitement which
present TO obtain an exact list of all the
dead. but 1t will doubtless reach startling
proportions. The water did not reach the
upper levels. and the miners working in
these portions of the mines made their way
TO the surface as quickly as possible. As
soon as the disaster which had overtaken
their fellow workman was learned the sur
vivors. with the assistance OF many Of
those who had flocked to the mouths of the
pits. made hurried preparations TO 90 to
the rescue of the men in the flooded levels.
AS the news of the catastrophe spread
throughout the city immense crowds
FASTENED 10 the scene. and the entrance to
each pit was soon surrounded by surging
and wildly-excited mass of men, women
and children. The lamentations of those
who had relatives or friends in the inun-
dated mines were heartrending. and many
pitiful scenes were witnessed. The grief
of the stricken people became more intense
and uncomfortable as some Of the bodies
of the drowned men were slowly hoisted to
the surface and identified. The work Of
rescue is being steadily carried on. and
every effort is being made to pump tho
water out of the flooded levels.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA ACCEPT.

Two More Nations Agree to Send Delegates
to the Monetary Conference.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-President Harri-
son has received from Italy and Austria
acceptances of the invitation to participate
in an international monetary conference.
The acceptance of Italy is especially pleas
ing to the administration, as on account OF
it's position as head of the Latin Union it
will influence the remaining nations to
join the conference. 1t is now positively
known that invitations were forwarded to
oil European powers with the exception of
Turkey. Some talk has been caused by the
fact that replies to these invitations were
slow in coming. This delay was caused by
the fact that the invitations were sent by
mail, instead of by cable. as was intended.
The replies from the remaining nations
Will probably be received shortly, and it Is
the belief of those best acquainted with
the progress of the negotiations that the
international monetary conference will
convene ab0ut the 1st of July.
A dispatch to New York newspaper
atfirms that the moderate silver men in
progress which bas been made toward the
conference. and they accept 1t as an evil
denCe of the sincerity OF the adminlstra-
tion. They say, however, that the Presi-
QenC, IN CrOeT 10 make the conference OF
any advantage. must appoint men who are
friendly to silver as the delegates of the
United States. AS there are to be five of
these delegates the silver men argue that
this number will give ample opportunity
for the representation of various views.
They are not disposed to insist that the
delegates shall represent the extreme free
coinage view as held in the United States.
but they believe that they should be
sincere friends of bimetallism and
not "gold bugs" either openly or
in disguise. The appointment of men
bitterly opposed to the coinage of silver
under any conditions would, the silver men
say, make the monetary conference q farce
and deprive it Of any usefulness They
hope that the President will seek to give
additional weight and popular support to
the conference by sending the names of
the American delegates to the Senate for
confirmation. They admit that he can ask
gentlemen to serve without asking the ap-
proval of the Senate. but they think that
it should be more in harmony with the
spirit of our institutions, and would
strengthen the delegates and the confer
ence, if it were known that the delegates
of the United States appeared with the
sanction of the Senate. If names of men
of moderate views are sent to the Senate.
the silver men say that there will be no
opposition to their confirmation.
