SENSATIONS IN ORDER.

In the Cold Storage Fire Case John Dug.
gan Says He Gave Evidence That Would
Incriminate One Hundred Men.
CHICAGO, Aug. Accusations were in
order Thursday in the room of the
grand jury which is investigating the
cold storage fire. John j. Duggan, the
man who made the sensational charges
concern ing the robbery of the cold
storage warehouse before the fire, US
narrated in these dispatches, was be-
fore the jury.
Duggan spent IN hour in the jury
room, and when he emerged he said
that he had given the jury evidence
that would incriminate nearly 100 men,
most of them employees of the Cold
Storage Co. He said he had testified
that he had witnessed the carting away
of the stuff in express and even sprink.
ling wagons. He said he had been Of.
fercd some of the spoils, but he had re.
fused to buy it.
7. II. Sandhagen, book-keeper for the
Hebard Express and Storage Co. was
also on the stand to show that the init
nation that the warehouse was used as
storing place for the stolen goods
was unfounded. He came armed with
the firms ledgers and remained before
the jury about ten minutes. At 1874,
the jury adjourned for the day.

BERLIN, Aug. "A disastrous explo-
sion occurred Thursday on board the
German armor clad steamer Baden at
Kiel. Lieuts Oeisncr and Zembsch and
seven seamcn were killed and sew
enteen persons were injured. II
appears that some of the men had
just removed from the magazine q
grenade measuring twenty-six cent?
metres in diameter. Through some
cause not yet explained the grenade
exploded, killing and injuring nearly
every person iii the immediate vicinity.
The Baden is a vessel of $500 tons. She
was launched in 1880. She mounts
eight large guns and her armor is ten
inches thick at the water line.
Prince Henry of Prussia, Emperor
Williams brother and Vice-Admiral
Schroeder were standing together on
the bridge at the time of the explosion.
They ran to the scene of the accident
and Prince Henry did much to assist in
relieving the injured.

Lives Were Lost.
Troy, N. Y, Aug. 5.-About O'Clock
Thursday night pleasure party,
while going to q dance at the lower
end of Lake George, met with terri.
BILE casualty. The steam yacht Rachel,
which is owned by D. w. Sherman,
proprietor of the Pearl Rock house,
Lake George, was conveying twenty.
nine people up the lake. The
little vessel was turned toward
the One Hundred Mile Island
house, and was gliding toward the
landing when the passengers were
thrown forward by sudden shock. In
the dark the vessel had run upon q
sunken pier, and before assistance ar
rived from the shore it sank with all on
board. 1t was only few moments
after the shock when the yacht ca.
reened to one side and went down in Il
feet of water
The shrieking, struggling passengers
battled for life in the darkness. Wom
en- threw up their arms and sank be
meath the surface, and, when brought
ashore. life had fed.
Deeds OF heroism were performed by
the men. When all in sight hat
reached the shore, it was learned tina,
eight or nine persons, all women, ex
cept youth Of 10, had sunk to waterJ
graves.

both House Ready for Oceupancy--NeW
Carpets, Laid and The Ventilation Im-
proved.
WAsHINeToN, Aug. $50 far as the
chamber Of the senate and the house Of
representatives Is concerned, congress
could meet Thursday. In the senate,
under the orders Of the new sergeant
st-arms, Col. Bright, the floor has been
covered with mating and has the ap-
pearance Of delightfully."- cool and In
viting chamber. The ventilation has
been greatly improved, and all through
the building new pipes have been run
thai connect with the fans in the base
ment and force the air through the
chamber to the roof above.
The speed of these fans will be in
creased when congress convenes, and IL
is claimed by the experts who have it
in charge, that the change will COR
rect the evils that were complained of
mt the last session. The plumbing
throughout the senate wing has been
altered in accordance with the report
of the experts appointed by the last
session, at a cost of 100000, and it is
hoped that the temperature and the air
will be greatly improved during this
session.
In the house side the same class of
work has been carried on and the
plumbing has been thoroughly over
hauled and changed. The chamber Of
be said of the rest of the rooms, al
though the end of the week will find
things in pretty good condition.
The next house will consist of $50
members, an increase of twenty-five
over the Fitty-second congress. In Or
der to accommodate these twenty-five
new seats have been provided and at
the same time the wants of the future
have been anticipated by providing
eight additional seats The new car
pet is a dark green design with crim-
son figure, conventional in its charac-
ter, relieved by an orange and cream
colored star.
The carpet was made from an ex.
elusive pattern by New York firm and
1000 yards were required to cover the
floor. The pattern, with the exception
OF the touch of crimson, is fac simile
of that used by the Forty-ninth and
Fiftieth congresses.
The desk and speakers table are GOV.
cred with rich dark green broad
cloth, and in the press gallery new
carpet of the same design as that placed
on the floor Of the house has been put
down.
The conduits for the passage of air
that feeds both chambers have been
thoroughly cleaned out, and with in
creased speed revolving fans it il
thought possible that a sufficient guam
tity of fresh air may be thrown into
the chambers to make them bearable.
This is, however, doubtful during the
hot months of August and September.

LOST TEETH.
Deputy Commissioner Bell Received Pen

Deputy Commissioner Bell Received PEN.
sion Money for This Disability.
WASHINGTON, Aug Sit has just
leaked out from the archives of the
the pension bureau that Deputy Com
missioner Bell, who has made numer-
BUS public statements condemning the
disability pension of Judge Long and
others, was himself in the same boat
with the pensioners who are now
hauled up for his scrutiny.
Up to May 81 he drew disability
pension of $12 month for "loss Of
teeth, indigestion and heart disease"
alleged to be the result of his militia ry
service. The decision of Assistant SEQ
retary Reynolds, which placed the able
bodied veterans beyond the pale of the
pensionable, was rendered on May 81.
Four days later, on the s1st, Mr.. Bell
addressed q letter to the commissioner,
in which he resigned his pension, de-
claring that he considered himself en-
titled to it under former decisions, but
thought under the Reynolds ruling he
was no longer entitled to draw the
amount.
Deputy Commissioner Bell being
asked if the statement about his having
drawn disability pension for himself
was true, replied:
II supposed that thing would come
out sooner or later. Yes, it's true"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-During the

CONFESSIONAL NOT SACRED.
Startling Decision Made by an English
Chief Justice.

Startling Decision Made by an English
Chief Justice.
LONDON, Aug. s.-Priestly circles are
considerably agitated over a ruling
just made by Sir Frederick Jeune, chief
justice of the court Of probate and di-
vorce, to the effect that . minister of
the gospel has no right to plead priv
nege when asked to state in court the
substance Of confidential commune
cation made to him in his sacred
capacity by one of his parish
oners. Hitherto it has been the
unwritten law in England as well
as many other countries that di-
vine shall not be compelled to disclose
such communications, and in cases
which occur almost weekly Roman
Catholic priests are excused from dis
closing statements made to them under
the sanctity of the confessional.
In the case in court the divine be-
longed to the high church branch of
the Episcopal denomination, and was
in the habit of hearing confessions.
Tho court, however, compelled him to
disclose the information that had been
made to him. Several Catholic priests,
who have been interviewed concerning
the decision, declare that they would
go to prison for contempt Of court
rather than reveal the secrets of the
confessional on the witness stand.

The prisoner expressed adesire short

tinued to protest his innocence and
said they would hang an innocent man.
Otherwise he was not particularly

his plain duty as an official of the

his baby was sick and that the execu.
ton ought to be postponed.
