GALLAGHER RETRACTS.
The Confessor Confirms That His OthC
 Confession Was False.

 Confession Was False.
 ,PIrTsBU RG, July 21.-Patrick Gallagher, the confessor, sent for Warden Wright at his cell in the penitentiary and said: War den, l have been in h. all night, and wish to say to you now that the comics sion made by me yesterday was all a matched up scheme and that I was dragged into it. I wish now to retract everything that was said in that confession and wish you would send for the attornevs interest ed, as will decline to sign the confession % 1 Warden Wright immediately notified District Attorney Burleigh and Attorney Porter by telephone. and they hurried to the penitentiary with all haste.
 After three hours talk with Gallagher, District Attorney BurleiGh came out and said that Gallagher had declared under oath that every statement he made before was absolutely false, and that he, Demp- sey, Beatty and Davidson are guilty as in dicted. He broke down and cried like a child. Warden Wright says Gallagher had a big bundle of manuscript, which he took as the foundation of his little speech which was prepared for him on the outside of the penitentiary and which he told Wednes- day.
 There is considerable speculation as to why Gallagher made the first statement but the most plausible reason given was that he thought the Knights of Labor would have enough influence to secure him a pardon. However the story that David son went back on Gallagher seems to have settled him, and he decided to reiterate the statement he made on the witness stand al the time Dempsey was convicted.

Officer Beecher seemed to be particularly offensive to Red, and yesterday when the police man ordered him to move on for the u ird time that day, Kelly told him that he ould do him up and became so abusN tha> Beecher struck him with his club. The blow broke the leather covering Cf t le sl ort club. but Kelly, who is a big, strong fellow, hardly winced.
 He immediately tackled the police. man. In the scuffie the thong of the Iatter's club broke and the stick flew a rod away. Kelly is good deal larger than the officer, and as the latter did not want to use his revolver, he ran to the engine house on Front street for a weapon. He could find only a chair which was of little use. The two rolled in the street in a hot fight, Beecher finally getting the best of the prisoner. A crowd gathered and James Kane, a peddler, interfered with Beecher. Off cer Garrett Farrell hearing the noise came to Beecher's assistance before the fight was over. Kelly was taken to the police station in the patrol. Kane fol lowed the wagon up and he, too, was put in the cooler. Kelly has the repu tation of having "done up" nearly al | the policemen in Waterbury.

Wednesday. so the story went, Dolan who is a hack driver, had trunk at the New England station that he wanted checked for Springfield.

WORK OF THE FLAMES.
A Long Island City Fire Lighted
 Up All New York.
FOUR DIED IN A BROOKLYN FIRE.
A Tank of Naphtha. Blew Up and Scattered Instant Death Through a Small Factory. A Church, a schoolhouse, Big Factory and Several Other Buildings Burned.

NEW YORK. July 2l.-Shortly before o'clock fire was discovered in Gray's re frigerator factory at Fourth street and Jackson avenue, Long Island City. The building is large and extends over several lots. The entire fire department of the city
 was called out but before the men reached the burning building the fire had spread to
 several of the surrounding structures.
 A Catholic church nearby was set afire
 by the flames, and sparks were tossed and
 blown in all directions from the factory.
 The police department sent out an addi-
 tional call to the neighboring towns for
 more firemen and engines to fight the
 flames, which were spreading in all direc-
 tions
 There is gashouse not far from the fire which it was feared would explode every moment from the heat. The church was soon in flames. The blaze rapidly climbed aloft on its steeple and soon the spire was a tower of fire At 1:25 a. m., the structure fell.
 The fire was really one of the most de structive which Long Island City has known in a long time. It covered con siderable area and these properties were destroyed or greatly damaged: Gray's re frigerating factory. St. Mary's church, l & schoolhouse, the Davren block of tene- | ment houses.
 The brilliant mass of flame lit up the East river until each ripple in the water | sparkled as though flooded with sunlight. The river front along the New York shore was almost as bright as day. Hun | dreds of persons gathered along the piers | and on the housetops to watch the specta- cle. Upper windows of tall houses were | dotted white with awakened Sleepers. When the church steeple fell, there rose
 a shower of sparks like the bursting of countless rockets at some tremendous py- | rotechnical exhibition.
 The sparks lit up the canopy of smoke \ for a moment and then faded away, leav' | ing only the square mass of subsiding flame and the red glow against the sky.
 After that the fury of the fire subsided
 steadily, and at 1:45 a. m. it was little more than a fierce glow, which seemed tc
 be yielding to pressure from the descend ing canopy of smoke. At q. m. the glow was sinking below the housetops, and ont of the finest night spectacles that New
 York has seen in a long time was over.

THE MOB LED BY WOMEN
Fierce Battle Tn the Kansas
 Mining District.
DRIVEN OUT BY THE STRIKERS
The Miners Chased From Their Work, De- feated When They Made a stand and Threatened With Lynching-Rifes and Clubs Used-Many Injured.


 Clubs Used-Many Injured. WEIR CITY, Kan, July 2l.-The expect ed crisis has come in the Kansas miners strike. Miners who were willing to work quietly and peaceably have been attacked by the strikers. and blood has been shed. and more bitter for several days culmi- mated in a fierce battle at Clements pit, one mile south of this city. There had been murmurings of the ap- preaching storms and the feeling was uni versal that serious trouble was at hand A band of 500 strikers, headed by 100 women, which had been marching to the various strips reached Clements pit, and sent in a committee to persuade the miners working there to quit. This they refused to do, and when the committee reported the en- tire body of marchers moved on to the works to force them out.
 The strip men were ready for them, and when they passed the trespass line they were fired upon. and a general battle fol lowed in which winchester rifles. pistols and clubs were vsed
 Many Shot and Clubbed.
 Over 100 shots were fired, and it is noth- ing short of miracle that nobody was killed. One man was wounded in the forehead. another in the leg, boy in the foot and one of the women got a bullet through her arm. None of the wounds are fatal and it is believed that none of them are dangerous. A number on both sides were badly beaten up with clubs and clubbed guns. The wounded were quickly removed by their friends, and their names have not been learned.
 As a result of the battle, the men in the strip were routed by the strikers and were forced to flee for their lives, pursued by the bowling mob. which would have ly nched them had they been caught.
 The owner of the strip, Clements, his son and a man named Big Dick Reed are said to be the ones who did the shooting and they have given themselves up and were run out of the county for safe keep ing. The excitement was intense after the shooting, and it was feared that matters would become worse, but a prominent striker, George R. Fulton, made the crowd a speech, in which he advised them to keep cool and counseled peace. It is rumored that quantity of firearms have been re ceived here. The excitement continues at high pitch, and further bloodshed now seems inevitable.
