Sensational Scenes at the Ford
Theater Inquest.
A Brother of One of the Victims
Advocates Rope for the Man
to Blame.

| WASHINGTON, June 12-The inques
over the bodies of victims of Ford
theater accident began here today.
Col. Ainsworth, chief of the record
and pension division, who has beer
charged with being responsible for tn,
accident, vas present.
AT the afternoon session the scene
was exciting.
Col. Ainsworth started to speak wher
the excited clerks began shouting fol
him to sit down, shut up, and the like
followed by cries of ''hang him hans
him? and men sprang forward as if e
execute the mandate. They were finally
quoted, however, and the inquest ad
journed.
A number OF witnesses testif I'D, sew
eral declaring that the resentment Of
the clerks extended not only to Colone
Aiusworth, bnt 10 Jacob French, his
right bower, and OF +. Bryon, CHIEF
clerk. The Gle rks had demurred at re-
naming in the building, but they an
pretended discharge if they pro- ested
too vigorously. One witness declared.
however that the talk against. Aims
worth was confined to a few soreheads.
A SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.
A man stepped forward, and standing
directly over Alnswor b, cried out in a
voice tembIing with passion: You
murdered my brother and I'd like to
know what right you have TO sit here
and intimidate witnessesr There was
d moments silence after this passionate
outburst, and then loud shout of ap-
prevail. Col. Ainsworth sat Calmly IN his
chair
Lieut.. Amiss pushed the disturbsr
toward the doorway. His name is
Charles Barnes, whose brother was
killed.
The shouts of the government clerks
present continued and IL looked for
minute that Col. Ainsworth was in dan
ger, bot sharp words from a police lieu
tenant finally brought quiet.
Before the witness was allowed to
proceed b. II. Warner, one Of the jur-
ors suggested that the episode showed
the existence Of a feeling that would
best be silenced by the withdrawal Of
the party against whom it was Gi -ected.
Loud applause followed Warmers re-
marks, and DR.. Chaeffer whispered re-
quest to Col. Ainsworth to withdraw.
He refused to do so, however, and the
said he had no right to exclude
him. Ross Perry, a representative of
Col. AinswcTth arose, and his first word
vas a signal for the most exciting in-
,ident of the day.
Butler Fitch, an cd white haired !
'lerk, started the trouble. 'Sit down"
le shouted, you are an outsider, and |
rave no right here. l protest against
speaking here"
Morgan Spencer, of Alabama. and a
government clerk called out to Colonel
Ainsworth: "You should be arrested and
ot be released on bail"
Here the tempest broke out in full
ury, and DR.. Schaeffer quickly adj
burned the inquest until 10 o'clock to-
lorrow morning.

TENEMENT HORROR.
Fire in a Death Trap of New
York.
Demoralized Inmates Jump to the
Pavement and Meet Fearful
Deaths.

New York, June 13.-A six-story
tenement building in Montgomery street
caught fire this morning.
Two hundred and fifiy people were
in the building at the time The bodies
of two men and one woman have been
recovered from the ruins. 1t is thought
many more persisted and number more
are injured
The inmates were Polish Hebrews
The flames spread rapidly through the
building. The whole front of the build
ing was alive with people, all fighting
for good places ON the fire escape, there
by hindering each other.
The ladder from the second story
to the pavement was not yet in place
when several jumped from that point
JUMPED TO THEIR DEATHS.
The first was woman, who fell on
he iron paving in front of the buildinr
and was killed. Next came two men
who fell on their heads and bad the 7
skulls crushed. Others landed on their
feet, ard suffered little injury.
The fire department finally got lad
ders alongside and assisted the remain
der TO escape. Some were driven stark
mad by fright. 1t is expected two OF
more Of the injured will die. Meantime
the building is on fire on every horr
and it took half an hour to subd1e
the flames. The woman was identified
as Celia DAVIS.

Jail Delivery at FIorsnce.

From the following dispatch, received
Saturday by Sheriff Scott, it Seems Jail
delivery occurred at Florence SATURDAY,
though no details of the affair have
arrived:
FLORENCE, June 10.
Sheriff. Tucson:
Two Mexican prisoners escaped TODAY.
Rafael Arivizu, thirty-fve years old.
five feet eight, weight one hundred and
fifty pounds, black air and moustache.
Jesus Ramirez, heavy-set, small black
moustache, five feet nine inches height.
Both are of light complexion and wore
blue overalIs. Fifty dollars reward for
arrest of either. l.. X. DRAIs, sheriff.
Sunday night Under Sheriff Proctor
thought he was on the track Of the right
man, and almost arrested him. How
ever, Mexicans wearing blue overalls
and high-heeled boots, with black nous
taches, are not uncommon enough to
make such mistake unlikely.

TEE announcement that the call of an
extra session of congress in September
has cleared the financial sky is rather
premature from the fact that no one
knows what congress will do with the
financial question after it has been
called together. Undoubtedly the
Sherman law will be repealed but
havond that no one can toresee.

SECRETARY GRESHAM has a temper
which often becomes stormy, and jcst
now it is in one Of its stormiest periods.
The new Russian extradltion treaty was
officially made public last week, but one
newspaper printed the treaty and all the
correspondence between the two govern
ments one day before it was given out
by the department, and Mr.. Gresham
says it was stolen, and that it could not
have been stolen without the CONN.,
vance Of some employee OF the depart
ment. He is trying to find the guilty
man.

Or the resent strict school examina-

unnecessarily strict and too lengthy,

applicants for teacherships, however,
will be to raise the standard Of teachers.
