DEADLY SPONGE CAKE.
A Family Poisoned at Pittsburgh, Pa, by
Eating Refuse From Streets and Houses
Ono Dead and Another in Great Dam

Family Poisoned at Pittsburgh, Pa, by
Eating Refuse From Streets and Houses
Ono Dead and Another in Great Dam
ger.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May IA family
named Sauter residing at West Liberty,
Pa, a few miles out of Pittsburgh,
were poisoned Saturday by eating
sweetcake. One boy is dead, another
child cannot recover, while the re-
naming members of the family, seven
in number, are in critical condition.
Sauter keeps dairy and raises pigs
and poultry for market Last Thurs
day he gathered a large load of slops
and refuse from streets and houses on
the south side of the city, with
which to feed his stock. Among
the stuff was found several stale
sponge cakes. Part of the cakes
were given to his family to eat and the
rest were fed to the chickens. Soon
after all of his chickens were dead.
This, however, did not warn him that
the cakes contained poison and his five
children ate the remainder. The chill
dren were seized with convulsions. A
doctor was summoned, but 5-year-old
boy was dead before he arrived. Tho
life of a S-year-old girl is despaired of.
The physician thinks that the other
members of the family will recover, al
though they are very ill. The coroner
is conducting an investigation as to the
source of the poison.

Invited by the Coal Miners of the Ohio
District--A Strike Resolved on that will
Involve Twenty Thousand Miners.
COLUMBUS, o., April 3O.-As a result
of a conference of delegates from the
various local miners organizations of
the state, held here yesterday, 10000
Ohio coal miners will refuse to return
to work Monday morning. Early in
the spring the Ohio miners made de-
mand upon the operators for an ad-
vance of five cents on the ton for pick
mining and ten cents for machine min
ing. The operators have been firm in
their refusal and the strike which was.
ordered by the delegates at yesterdays
meeting, against the advice of the Off
GERS of the union, is the result
That the strike will result in a dis
astrous failure is almost foregone
conclusion, as the mines of all the
states of the same competitive district
are to be kept in operation and will have
little difficulty in supplying the de-
mand. While it lasts it will simply be

burning OF Tenement House In BurIpc-
ton, Ia.-Six of the Inmates Burned to
Death and Their Bodies Partially Con.
sumed-A Horrible Suspicion of Incen-
diarism, which Will be Investigated by
the Coroner.
BURLINGTON, Ia, May 1.-Shortly
after o'clock yesterday morning
large tenement house at s55 jefferson
street was destroyed by fire and six Of
Its inmates were burned to death.
Inc lodging house was conducted by
Mrs. Judson. She and young serv-
ant girl named Maggie Bailey were
the only women in the building. The
lodgers were of the poorer class of me-
chanics, about twenty of whom occu-
pied the various rooms upstairs. The
building was verita BILE fire trap, con-
sisting of dark Railways and dark land
ings, some of the rooms being without
windows. So quickly did the fire
spread that the unfortunate victims
were caught like rats in trap. The
names of the dead are as follows:
Hines, Michael, a transient lodger.
Dee, Michael, of Chicago, a stove
molder.
Morgan, John A., stove molder, resi-
dence unknown.
Schumake, James, carpet weaver.
Swindler, Joseph, of Burlington,
plasterer.
Charlie, boiler-maker; supposed to
be from Chicago.
All were burned in shocking and
almost unrecognizable manner. Nor
gan's feet were burned off and Shu-
makes body almost fell to pieces when
removed.
Maggie Bailey, the servant, slept in a
room just back of the office, down
stairs. The fire started in her room.
She says she was awakened by some
man pounding on her door and telling
her to get up, that it was time to get
breakfast. She asked what time it
was; she says she heard him strike a
match, as If looking at his watch; he
then said that it was o'clock, and de-
parted, after slamming the door after
him. Almost instantly tongue of
flame dashed under the door and ran
across her room as if following a
stream of oil. Without dressing, she
rushed up stairs and aroused Mrs Jud-
son.
The flames spread rapidly, and the
two women had to leap from window
to the pavement in their night clothes.
Meanwhile a son of Judson's had
rushed to the doors of the varioys sleep
ing rooms attempting to arouse the oc-
cupants. He thus saved a number of
lives, but many had narrow escapes,
almost all having to leap from the
windows with nothing on but their
night clothes.
The bodies were at once removed to
the morgue, where hundreds of curious
people crowded in and viewed the sick
sning sight.
There are several suspicious circum-
stances connected with the fire which
the coroner will investigate to-day.
The loss to the building and contents
was probably $4,000, with small insur-

ON THE WAR PATH,
The Navajo Indian Outbreak Results in
the Death Eight of Settlers

the Death Eight of Settlers
DENVER, Col, April 29.-The long
threatened war of the Navajo Indians
against the settlers of the country in
the vicinity of their lands has come at
last, and with it the death of eight set.
tiers. Such was the startling news re-
ceived yesterday morning by Adit.-
Gen. Kennedy. At 9:45 o'clock the ad-
jutant-general received a telegram from
Lieut.. Plummer, Indian agent of the
Nava jos, in which he stated that the
white men had been murdered by the
Indians who are now at war with the
settlers. He stated that the situation
was very critical one, and asked that
troops be called out to prevent further
bloodshed. The telegram was addressed
to Gov. Waite, but he is out of the city,
and the matter was referred by the ad-
jutant general. Lieut.. Plummer stated
that the people below Durango are in
a wild state of excitement, and grave
fears are entertained lest the Indians
continue their warfare along up the
valley. In his message the lieutenant
states that two battles have been
fought already. The first was early
Thursday when five men were killed,
all settlers, while at another encounter
three more whites lost their lives, and
further bloodshed is ANTICIPATED,

The great naval pageant at New
York was an event of remarkable in
terest and significance. Never before
were SO many ships of different nations
assembled in friendly rivalry. The ma
val reviews of the past have all fallen
short OF this one in every respect. 1t
is to be regarded as a victory of peace,
in spite of its warlilse aspect, and an
assurance of international amity that
is peculiarly gratifying and impress
sive. The sight of such variety of
flags, representing such diversity of
political institutions and interests, un-
der circumstances SO far removed from
the idea of conflict and bloodshed, is
one that tells a most important story
as to the progress of civilization and
the general improvement of the rela-
tions between the nations of the earth.

WHEN the government pays the
freight on gold to get it to Washington
1t is simply making its expectation that
much easier. Not that it makes any
particular difference, for the country
might be freer and more prosperous if
every ounce of gold were shipped out of
H. But if people are so superstitious
as to believe that everything depends
on shine and yellowness, it is hardly
consistent for them to be aiding in the
expectation of gold by putting the ex-
pense for collecting it for export on the

TALKING about the cost of visiting
the Worlds fair, a correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "One
lady, who had expected to. chaperon
quite little party in addition to her
own family, thought best to make some
inquiries before completing her ar
rangements, and was informed that it
would cost her from nine dollars to
eleven dollars for each person to visit
the building of fine arts alone, and a
proportional amount to all buildings of
interestexcept the state exhibits proper
which are presumed to be free An
other party reports the average cost of
each person about ten dollars per day
for admission to the various exhibits"
This is not what the public have been
led to expect, but it may be well to
learn in advance, SO as to go well pre-
pared.

In the building was inadequate to keep the
animated, eager men and women within the
limits laid down on the programme. 1t was
hard for the soldiers to distinguish between
the procession Of distinguished visitors and
those who were merely sightseeing; and
impeled by common desire to get close
to Mr.. Cleveland, these latter were no re-
specters of persons, not even when it came to

1ostled severely from the time the party left

exit was effected at the north end of the build

and kept his place in the procession
There was a determined stand on the part of
the soldiers and guards at the exit. Swords
and rifles were brought into play and the rush.

Everybody in the White City who had not al

given ample opportunity when the party en-

made the round of the lagoons at their leisure.

met the duke and male members
OF his party, high exposition officials and the

packed with people, who were rewarded by see
ing the president in the stern of the first boat.
There was cheering all along the line, and Mr.
Cleveland frequently barred his head and rose
from his seat to wave hts silk hat at his many
admirers Thousands were not satisfied with
one view, but would indulge in a pell-rnell race
from one observation point to another.

made flying trip through the lagoons. Having
thus made the grand tour of the exposition, he
was thoroughly tired out, and the rest of the
time until his special train started for Wash
ington was spent in chatting with his friends
rus at the door.
Meanwhile the American public were having
the full run of the grounds for the first time
and were enjoying themselves hugely The
crowd did not mind the mud anyhow, and from
noon until the last gate was closed the broad
avenues were alive with throngs moving from
one to another Of the big buildings and sweep
ing through the Midway plaisance in an un-
broken current. Everyone saw all the sights
possible and at last when the hour for depart
ure arrived went away with the firm resolution
to come again.
After the president, duke and other distin-
guished guests had partaken of luncheon in the
administration building the whole party di-
vided according to sex. The duchess of Vera
qua and other women of distinction had ac-
cepted the invitation to participate in the
dedication of the womens building, and they
were escorted there in carriages by troop
OF cavalry. The president and vice-presi-
dent, the male members of the ducal party, the
cabinet officers, governors Of states and foreign
diplomats arrayed in curious and gorgeous
costumes and military uniforms, proceeded in

their respective sections to receive the presi-
Dental party. The route from the admins
tration to the manufactures building is a
short one but it was packed with a
mass of humanity that was held in check
with difficulty by the United States cavalry
and infantry forming continuous double line
for the party to pass through. Thousands of
people pressed and surged outside the main
entrances to manufactures building vainly
clamoring for admission to see the reception.
The barriers of guards and closed doors seemed
impregnable, but when the president had en-
tered the building hundreds effected an en-
trance after the main aisle had been
lined on both sides with thou

Mr. Cleveland and the party accompanying
MIN were taken to the Office of Director G en-

alone was escorted to the private office Of
President Higginbotham, where he spent the
rest OF the time from to o'clock, resting and
expressing his delight at the sights he had seen
and the welcome he had received.
AT O'Clock the wives and daughters OF the
cabinet officers returned from the womens
building, and all were ready to be driven to the
terminal station, where Il special train
was in waiting. The demonstration on the
way was on small scale, because most of the
thousands had already seen enough of the
president for one day.
AT 5:15 o'clock the engine whistle blew the
signal for departure the exposition officials
Gov. Altgeld and others said goodbye, and q
parting shout went up from the crowd as the
presidential train drew out OF the station,
while Mr.. Cleveland stood on the rear plat

given the night setting of the great scene
was fringe of incandescent light which
surmounted the columns of the peri

the Casino. This was followed moment later
by strips of light which sprang into life in all
parts of the administration building. The en-
tire structure was gilded with seams of light
running around the top of the pavillions and to

beauty and was greeted with great applause.
Much disappointment was felt later when it
