where deadly csrbonic gas more or less
always escapes from the crevices Of the
volcanic rocks. Thus is history made.

IRON HALI-ERS.

Representing the Anti-somerby Faction,
After the Funds In Receiver failey's
Hands.
INDIANAPOLIS, May o4.-Eight mem
bers Of the supreme sitting of the Order
Of the Iron Hall are at the Denison
House here, who say that they will
hold the regular session Of that body.
They are led by ex-Supreme Cashier
Davies and Accountant Walker. The
members represent the anti-Somerby
faction. They hope by reorganization
to become competent TO receive the
Iron Hall funds now in Receiver Fail
ey's hands, amounting to over o., $780,
900. The Somerby faction is meeting
for the same purpose at Philadelphia
Yesterday supplemental complaint
in the receivership case was filed. It
charges that the books of the order
show that the organization had never
paid its maturing certificates from
lapses, but had paid them from dues Of
new members. Those whose certifi-
Gates lapsed the books show, they al
lege, received larger sums in benefits
than they paid in. The complaints
state that any of the state receivers
are willing and desire TO account TO the
local receiver, j. 4. Failey, and the
court is asked to assure them that they
will share pro rata in the assets now or
hereafter coming into the receivers
hands

WILL WITHDRAW.

Onicial Notice Received by the Worlds
Fair National Commission From For
eIgn Exhibitors that They Withdraw
From Competition for Awards.
CHICAGO, May 26.-It was 2:3O yester-
day afternoon before the national com
mission was called TO order, forty-sev-
en- members-eight short of a quorum
being present A communication
was received from Director General
Davis enclosing letter signed by the
commissioners of seventeen of the for
eign countries withdrawing their ex-
hibits from any competition forwards
The letters were then read TO the com
mission.
The foreign countries say that as the
answer to their communications re-
ferring to a jury Of awards has not
been satisfactory, and in spite of reit-
Grated demands made by several of the
commissioners more than a year ago,
they are yet in possession Of no infor-
nation about the final organization OF
the jury Of awards they now consider
1t too late for an international jury TO
be constituted, and therefore with
draw their exhibits from competition
for awards.
The letter is signed by the commits
sionerS from Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
British Guinea, Denmark, France, Ger
many, Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
Norway, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Spain,
Sweden and Switzerland. The recep-
tion Of tho communications caused
prolonged discussion In regard to their
proper disposal. Mr.. st. Clair, Of West
Virginia, said the matter was a serious
one and the exposition was threatened
by IL. II the matter were not settled
quickly II would result, he thought, in
a lasting impairment of the fair.

WRECKED BY WIND.


Damage by Wind storm at Louisville,
Ky.-Narrow Escape Of Eight Workmen
In n Railroad Roundhouse.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 24.-Again the
wind has worked It's will upon Louis
vile. Dwellings are ruined, streets
filled with the wreckage of roofs, with
broken and uprooted trees, with rem
nants Of walls and twisted wires
When the storm struck the city eight
workmen, under the charge of James
Dadigan, night foreman at the big
Louisville & Nashville roundhouse,
were busy about the engines. As the
wind struck the circular building the
roof was lifted free from all fastenings
and then as lull came, dropped from
its own weight, squarely upon the
structure. The walls stood the press
ure, but the roof crashed down upon
the interior. The heavy engines were
overturned like tops, but the men es-
capped almost miraculously from death.
AS the roof lifted each man dived into
the pit beneath his engine and there
lay safe and unhurt until the storm
passed and all crawled out
Twenty-Five houses in the eastern
part OF the city were blown down. No
loss Of life. Loss $4,000.

OPEN ON SUNDAY.

The National Commission OF the Worlds
Fair 80 Decides by Majority of Three
The Gates VIII be Opened on Sunday
Unless the Board Is Eniolned by judicial
Proceedings.
CHICAGO, May 24.-Telegrams CON-
tinue to pour in to the national com
mission in regard to Sunday opening.
Commissioner DeYoung called the ma
tional body to order yesterday, with
good-sized stack of those communica-
tions adorning the presidents desk.
They were from all parts of the coun-
try and were of the same import:
"Kecp the gates of the worlds fair
closed on Sunday" After half hours
discussion it was agreed that the de-
bate on the adoption of one of the re-
ports from the judiciary commission on
Sunday closing should be confined to
three and onc-half hours.
Mr.. Eiboecl, of Iowa, began the de-
bate by speaking in favor of the adop-
ton of the minority report which ia
vors Sunday opening. Commissioner
Burton, of Kansas, chairman of tho
judiciary committee, also supported the
minority report.
Commissioner Massey, of Delaware,
who represented the majority of the
judiciary committee, delivered
labored and elaborate argument or
rather exhortation in opposition TO Sun
day opening.
Commissioner Hundley, of Alabama,
who composed one of the Sunday clos
ing majority of the Judiciary commit
tee, said he intended to vote to keep
the gates closed as a matter Of honor,
as a solemn duty to the government
which left him no discretion in the
premises.
The closing speeches were all in favor
of throwing open the gates every day
In the week. When Gen. st. Clair, OF
West Virginia, the leader of Sunday
opening advocates In the commission,
rose to close the debate there was gen.
eral silence and the members gave his
remarks the closest attention.
Commissioner St. Clair first submitted
a modification of the Sunday opening
rule propounded by the directory and
obtained unanimous consent to have II
received as part Of the Judiciary COM
missioners' minority report The modi-
fication provided for an invitation to
all sects and creeds to hold religious
exercises in the halls Of the exposition
on Sunday, making it the duty Of the
council of administration 10 mako
ample arrangements for such exercises.
When st. Clair finished laying down
the law as he understood II, the ques-
tion of substituting the minority for
the majority report came to n vote and
the roll was called. Thirty members
voted for substituting the minority re-
port and twenty-seven against it. Then
vote was taken on the question
of modifying the new rule submitted
by the directory, as proposed by the
minority Of the Judiciary Of the COM
mission. Twenty-nine voted TO adopt
the modification and twenty-eight
against. This leaves the matter now
in the hands Of the directory, and the
general opinion among the commission
is that the gates Of the fair will be
opened Sunday unless the judicial au-
thorities shall enjoin the local board

FURRY IN PORK.

One Chicago Trader Controls the Existing
Stock and Runs the Price Up to S23-
May Go Higher.
CHICAGO, May 27.-PorlS furnished a
sensation on the board yesterday, ad-
vancing s2.15 and closing with net
gain for the day of s1.5O per barrel. 1t
opened dull and traders who might
have bought all they wanted in the
first trading hour at SCI per barrel or
less jumped for 1t an hour later when
it was selling for s28. Some time ago
people who thought pork was much too
dear at $ls.5oper barrel, sold 1t short to
Charles Wright under that Idea. That
trader had already bought up the 10, 900
barrels or 50 Of pork that is held here
and as, according TO the rules Of the
board of trade, pork made In the sum-
mer months is not delivered upon spec
ulative contracts there is no possibility
of getting pork between now and octo-
Der elsewhere than from Wright, who
owns the existing stock.
This state of things made an anxious
time for the shorts when Wright's
brokers began bidding the price up
from s2O.s5 to s23. Commission men
Who had sold short for customers rushed
to buy it while their customers mar.
gins were di sappearing but as the rise
was the work of few minutes, not
many succeeded in stopping the loss
until the margins were all gone and
many thousands Of dollars besides.
Wright, It is said, is still unsatisfed
with the present advance. II he should
put the price to $50 the shorts cannot
ret out Of paying It

COLEMAN, Tex, May 27.-The north
bound Gulf, Colorado 6 Santa Fe pas.
senger train was held up and robbed
Thursday night about 900 yards north
OF the depot by two masked men. Ac-
cording to Conductor Campbelrs state
ment the train stopped at the north
end of the switch to go over the "Y, "
when two masked men crawled upon
the engine and ordered the engineer
and fireman to get off the engine and
compelled them to accompany them
back to the express car and ordered
them to have the express messenger
open the car, which was done. The en-.
gineer, fireman, porter and mail agent
were then ordered to get in the car and
make the express messenger open his
safe before they entered his car them
selves.
They shot off their guns and this at
tracted the conductors attention. He
rushed up to the front of the train, But
when he reached the platform of the
second-class car one of the masked men
was on the left side of the train hold
ing his gun on the porter. When Camp
bell got down on the step far enough
for him to see, the robbers ordered him
back in the car. Conductor Campbell
heard one Of the robbers bid the mes
senger and crew goodnight and hop
ing to meet them at the worlds fair.
1t is supposed they got several thou
sand dollars and the Santa Fe employees
pay checks for Ballinger and San An
gelo. The mail car and passengers were
not molested.
