There is something pathetic about
the announcement that people will be
admitted at the regular rates to see
the destruction Of the Worlds fair
buildings. Itis like an invitation to

Blown into Atams.

News reached here yesterday of a
boiler explosion on the Iron Noun
tain railway, near the end of the
northern division, killing the fireman
and engineer instantly. The report
said they were mangIed beyond recog-
niiion and were taken from the ruins
a shapeless mass.
The engineer, it is said, was VIII
liam Shaw, whose home is at Para
gould, Ark. His family are said to
live there. The freman's name was
not learned.
Another report said the accident
occurred on the Belmont branch of
the Iron Mountain road, near Caron-

the committee will not order an inves-

Tho Ruins of tho IIl-Fated Place
Burned Up Yesterday.
The fire department was called out
yesterday afternoon to put out blaze
at the ill-fatsd fireworks factory on
Seventh street.
This building, it will be remembered,
was burned some time ago, and what re-
manned of the wreck vanished in smoke
yesterday. The damage is slight. as the
former fire left little to burn, 90 there is
no more danger of fire from the old fac
tory.
Mr.. Wilson has been peculiarly unfor-
tunate since he began manufacturing
fireworks in this city. First, a bomb
exploded at Columbus day celebration.
where the fireworks were under his di-
rection, killing several people and
wounding number more.
Following this his factory burned
dewn and he was severely injured. The
building was rebuilt only to burn down
again, and now even the remains OF the
former fire have burned up.

FATAL CUTTING SCRAPE.
A WHISKY ROW AMONG SAN BER-
NARDINO INDIANS.
1t All Occurred Over Demijohn OF
whisky aud VIII Probably End In
Case OF Murder AS One
Man Was Fatally Cut.

Special to the HERALD
SAN BERNARDINo, Aug. 27.-The usual
weekly row, which will probably result
fatally to the injured party, occurred
yesterday morning about 12:l5 O'Clock.
Several Mexicans and half breeds pur-
chased large demijohn of liquor and at
once proceeded to imbibe freely of the
same. They lounged around the streets
till about IL O'Clock. when they walked
out of the city one mile and half,
when the row commenced.
The coroner and police were informed
that a number of Indiana were in a
drunken row, and Immediately left for
the scene. When they arrived on the
spot they saw Frank Satslio lying on the
ground probably fatally stabbed.
Some of the bystandsrs claim that
Frank Morongo used the knife which
caueed the wound, while others cay that
Frank Wise did the cutting.
The trouble occurred on an Indian
ranchero. north of the Whitelock place,
and, as all the eye-witnesses were either
half-breeds or Indians. the facts of the
case will doubtless never come to light.
as they are very cunning and Will shield
the real victim.
The Indians say that the row occurred
over the demijohn of whisky, and gen.
eral free fight was INDUCED in by four or
five present, but just who did the cut
ting remains mystery.
Morongo's friends say that Satalio
struck the first blow with cluD. and
that Morongo then stabbed him in the
left eide in self defense.
The wound is a serious one, as the en-
trails protrude from the same in fear
full manner. The coroner considered the
case serious enough to take the wounded
mans ante-mortem statement before
removing him to San Bernsrdino, where
he will be cared for at the county hos
pital.
Satalio furnished the whisky which
caused the row. Morongo and Wise are
at large yet, but the officers have hopes
of capturing both coon, as they are keep
ing at their homes under surveillance.
After the wounded man was brought
to this city the doctors made an exam
ination of his injuries, and expressed
the opinion that he would die.

1t has been publicly stated that some
Of the lawyers who represent creditors
Of the City bank were personally op.
posed to the retention of Mr.. Brodtbeck
as receiver and Mr.. Burnett as his at.
torney. That there is nothing whatever
of personal nature against these gem
tlemen on the part OF the lawyers who
have appeared for the creditors is amply
shown by the following report of re-
marks made before Judge Shaw when
the case came up two days ago:
M. T. Allen. Esq, who, with j. T.
Jones. Esq.. appeared as attorney for
certain depositors, then offered the fol-
report in regard to the receiver and his
counsel:
"If the court please, 1 desire to make
for making it. That is, that in this ap
plication for adjudication of Insolvency
and in what has been done in this mat
ter, desire personally to cay to the
court and Mr.. Brodtbeck and to Mr..
Burnett that it has not been a matter
personal with them. have hereto fore
said in another department, and I de
sire to repeat, there is no reflection upon
the personal integrity OF either gentle.
men. 1t is q question of policy and OF
the best thing to do which has been the
moving idea in this matter"
To which Mr.. Jones added:
"And being associated with Mr.. Allen
and representing, as the court knows,
possibly large majority of the credit
ors that were in position to take any
advantage OF these proceedings at all. l
think l made the same statement be-
fore his honor Judge Mckinley. 1t is

viii Ask Rsdress-His ver-
sion OF the Affair.

| II the lawyers Of Mr.. Louis Mesme
give their consent, suit will be instituted
today against the daily Times for $780,
000 for libel.
Mr.. Mesmer and bride arrived yester-
day at O'Clock from San Francisco and
at once proceeded to the New United
States hotel, which is owned by the
gentleman. Shortly after his arrival he
was seen by HERALD reporter.
He stated that he and his wife had in.
tended visiting the worlds fair before
retui ming to Los Angeles. but after see-
ing the scurrilous articles in the paper
referred to concluded to come home at
once and demand redress at the hands OF
the law.
The article for which Mr.. Mesmer will
ask damages referred to him as being
incompetent to manage his affairs, and
rung the changes on this absurd sup
position in most offensive manner.
The allegations were along this line,
and certainly were wholly uncalled for.
Il saw prominent attorney in San
Francisco regarding the matter" said
Mr.. Mesmer, land he came to the con.
clusion that have good case.
II also cav a member OF the staff OF
that paper on the street, and he tried to
avoid me, but l met him, anyhow. He
was thunderstruck when 1 asked him
his authority for publishing such an
article about me and my affairs.
Tomorrow morning." continued Mr..
Mesmer, II will take my lawyers and
go to the Times office and demand the
authority upon which they published
the falsehoods, after which intend in
stituting suit for $4,000 for libel"
Mr.. Mesmer was greatly agitated over
the defamatory article which the paper
in question published, and intended to
have justice at any cost. He denied
the entire story as printed against him.
He was particularly emphatic in his
denial OF the reference to his marriage
being by Especial dispensation from
Bishop Mora" l.4ll..
As to his competency or incompetency
to manage his own affairs, he put no
leniency in his denunciation of the
article in question.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mesmer are not fully
decided as to where they will reside.
but it is probable they will remain at
his hotel.
