and two firemen, John Dundon ana
John Martin, were on ladder bravely
attempting to rescue her An explosion
took place Just as they were reaching
for her, blowing the ladder from under
their feet They fell directly into the
flames, but Were instantly rescued by
their comrades. Dundon was found to
be badly burned, while Martin escaped
with a few slight bruises.
When the explosion came she lost her
head and became panic-stricken. Seeing
the ladder fall with the firemen, she
threw off the quilt with which she was
covered, AM plunged headlong into the
alley. In her descent she whirled over
and over and struck the powders with
a sound that sickened the beholders of
the awful spectacle.
She was picked up and carried into
McCabe's restaurant, and later on to the
hospital in patrol wagon Her injuries
it is thought will prove fatal The
woman proved to be Dora Hoodler.
All the other occupants of the build
ing escaped in safety.

Yellowstons Park.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The annual
report of Captain George L. Anderson,
acting superintendent Of the Yellow
stone National park, shows that ga,4e
within the park limits is receiving all of
the protection and care that the limited
military force at command will permit.
The acting superintendent recommends
the enactment of law establishing q
system of government for the park; 9
careful survey Of the park boundaries;
a transfer to the superintendent of the
control of the appropriations for build
ing and repairing roads; the construc-
ton of wagon roads from Cinnabar to
Cokea, from the upper basin to the
southern line Of thepark on Snake river,
and from the Canon to Yancis, and the
addition of accommodations for com
pany of infantry to be made part of the
permanent garrison of the park.

He Thinks the Strikers Could Have Won
in the Courts.
New York, Aug. PA special to
The World from Utica says that Gov
ernor Flower stopped there on his way
to Albany, and, referring to the strike,
said: II am inclined to think that the
strikers made bad move at the begin
ming. If they had gone to work and
had the president of the Central
arrested for violating one of the laws Of
the state they could have had him con-
victed and fined $500 or imprisonment
for one year. Last winter the legisla-
ture passed a law making it obligatory
for railroad companies to give days
pay for ten hours and to pay extra for
all over that. Isigned the bill and the
strikers had a good chance to make q
test case. Why did they not do that
If they had done so I think they would
have won their case.

President Greene of the Republican
State League has answered the charges
preferred against him by one or two pa
pers in the state in comprehensive
and conclusive article in the Sioux
Falls Press OF recent date. We happen
to know that Mr.. Greene did much Of
fective work during the last campaign
and had to bear quite a proportion OF
the expense himself. He should have
a fair show this year. and there is nc
reason why the League should not
prove valuable adjunct to the Central
Committee during the campaign.

night breakers throwing bricks or mys-
terious forms scudding through the
darkness. They harrassed the militia
for over two hours, firing shots from
revolvers, putting torpedoes on the
tracks and otherwise disturbing the
night. The soldiers turned out several
times, and the yards were searched, but
not a stranger could be found. Asquick,
however, as the guards were returned,
the trouble began again. The men who
were making all the trouble stayed in
the yards. They could easily escape de-
strings of cars, and every time soldier
saw skulking figure pass by in the
I darkness he sent bullet after it. The
shooting was general and hundreds of
volleys were fred.
The rattle and roar of the firearms,
the shouts of the sentries giving the
alarm and the commands of the officers
aroused the people living in the neigh
borhood of the camps and only had they
settled down into an uneasy slulnber

skulkers may have been hit but the
hospitals do not report any of them ap.

Smoke Ont Miners.

Coal CREEK, Tenn, Aug. ga sem
sation was created here by the statement
that the authorities have determined to
smoke the mines, and thus drive out
miners who are believed to keep hiding
in them. It has been suspected for
some time that several of the much
wanted leaders Of the rioters had found
shelter in the mines, where they have
been comparatively safe from pursuit,
as it would be folly for the soldiers to
attempt to find them. The subject of
trying to smoke them out has been dis
cussed for some days, and the statement
is made that it has been decided to take
such action.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. M.-The strike
situation can be summed up in one word
waiting. Grand Master Wilkinson,
of the trainmen, is here, and Chief Con-
ductor Clark, Of the conductors, will be
here during the day. Sargent, Sweeney,
Wilkinson and Clark will hold confer
ence. Chief Arthur, of the engineers,
is not expected to be present. The re-
suit of the conference will decide the
action to be taken. The belief is grow
ing daily that this action will be an
abandonment of the strike. The plan,
it is said, is to let the strike down easy,
Will Advise Peace.
The conference will advise peace
Grand Master Sweeney will yield grace
fully, and the striking switchmen viii
go back to their places if they can, o.
will seek work elsewhere. This is ad
mittedly the critical point of the trouble
however. The fremen are reported II
be clamorins for strike, but Sargen
says that no matter if they voted unan
imously to- strike he would no
consent unless he considered i
prudent. And Furthermore. however
much he may be in favor Of going ou
with the switchmen, the firemen will
not do SO unless all the other railroa
labor organizations go out. The mex
twenty-four hours will probably tell tn
tale.
