RISING FROM THE ASHES
Phonix Fargo Building on the
Hot Ground.
Iheusands Of Men Find Work to Do..No
One Need Be Idle in the Brave North
Dakota city..A Million and
Half Insurance Money.

FARGO, N. D., June 15.-Thc dis
patch sent out Saturday that 1000 men
had been put at work preparing the
way for rebuilding the burned district
was no exaggeration. Order lis begin
ming to come out of chaos, and along
broadway long rows of bricks piled up
show the progress of the work so far.
Alex Stein, who was the heaviest loser
In business blocks, had men at work IN
the ruins of his buildings when the
brick were SO hot that
they had to be handled with
gloves lined ON the inside with
steel. No one is disheartened. Allis
enthusiasm. One painter made the as
seftion that his shop had received or
ders for forty-four new signs and each
applicant wanted them finished at once.
The city will rise from the ruins in a
few short months greater than ever. A
meeting of the city council is to be
orders made that all walks within the
fire limits be built of stone hereafter.
The statement that 1000 people were
camping on the open prairie and were
destitute is untrue. All have been
sheltered for the time being and are
being cared for. Contributions are
pouring in. There is no feeling of de-
spondency prevalent. Every one who
will, has now all the work he wants
for the summer.
The S1,500,00O of insurance money
will be distributed here within the next
\ two weeks. and this sum put in imme-
diate circulation by the creation of new
blocks will enliven things. The ques-
tion of continued prohibition or high
license for the time being will proba-
bly, be settled at once. Itis thought
TIE demands of business men for nigh
license for the sale of beverages
during the next twelve months
will meet with little opposition.
1t is rhmored that stock com
pany is being formed to erect an
immense building to cover block and
to be four stories high, near the site of
the new government building. This
STRUCTURE will be converted into mag
nifcent hotel, opera house, lodgerooms,
storerQoms and offices. Rivalry has
sprung up between the property own
efs on Broadway and those on Robert
street as to the location of the business
center during the coming months.
The heaviest realty owners of these
two streets ure fastening to rebuild,
ii order to draw the business center to
their locality.

III, Matson Murder.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. d., Jnne l3.-The
evidence submitted at the preliminary
examination of Phelps and Shradcr,
the two men arrested for the murder Of
Matson, showed the crime to have been
one of the most coldblooded ever COM
mitted in the northwest. From the
evidence it is learned that bad feeling
had existed between Phelps and the
Matsons for about two years, and the
trouble WAS brought to focus last
December when the Matsons discov-
cred Phelps und another person
in the act OF swimming
one of their cows across
the Missouri river. They naturally
objected, and complaint was made be-
fore the proper authorities. From this
time on the feeling grew more bitter,
and many of the witnesses testified
that Phelps openly abused the Matsons,
to some of them going so far as to say
that he would take his gun some inorn7
ing and "clean off the bottom'f--mcan-
ing the bottom land where Matson and
his sister resided-and to another per-
son said he would clean out the Nor
wegian nest In fact, cursinE the
Matsons seemed to have been hobby
with him for the past year or more.
Shrader was working for him on his
ranch but Il short distance from
where the Matsons lived, and it
was shown at the preliminary
examination that there was no bad
feeling between Shrader and the Mat
sons 1t is the general opinion that if
Shrades committed the deed-as every
thing would Indicate that he did-he
was simply the tool of Phelps and pos
sibly other men. The crime was com
mitted in Lyman county, which was
attached to Brule county for judicial
been organized, there is at present
some question where the trial of the
two men will be held Judge Haney
has the matter under advisement.

On, Methodist Preacher Called Another a
Tobacco Worm AMI Suffers Arrest
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 14.-The Rev.
T. IL. Agnew, Methodist preacher os
Auburn, Ill.,, got into trouble by ex-
pressing too freely, on postal card,
his opinion of brother minister
Some time ago the Rev. W. r. Good
win, a Methodist minister resid-
ing at Englewood, and an anti
tobacco lecturer, sent by express,
to Brother Agnew, a package of tracts
on tobacco. The tracts did not reach
their destination promptly, and
Brother Agnew wrote Brother Good
win postal card, saying that they had
not been received. lie added further
that the Rev. w. f. Gilmore of shelby
vile, another Methodist minister, was
tobacco worm" and, that in his
opinion, such Il preacher was n dis
grace to Mcthodisn.'
Elder Goodwin made complaint to
the express company about the lost
tracts, and in that connection gave
them Brother Agnew's card. The card
was sent out over the route as tracer
of the missing paclsage, and eventually
it turned up in Shelbyville, where
Brother Gilmore, the alleged tobacco
worn,n lived.
The card remained there for some
time, and as every body in Shelbyville,
including the express agent, knows
Preacher Gilmore, the story
of the the card soon got out and life
became IA burden for the parson. lie
persuaded the express agent to sell him
the card for So, and then turned it over
to the United States postotficc officials,
The result was that the Rev Mir. Ag-
new was arrested last night and
brought here by a deputy marshal. In
the. federal court he pleaded guilty to
the charge OF violating the postal laws
and was fined IS and costs, in all about

a MosLEm SETTLEMENT.

Plan of Ex.consu Webb to Start a
Colony in Mexico.
CHICAGO, June 4.-Mohammcd
Webb, whose scheme of Islamic propa-
ganda has been going slowly lately, is
now negotiating for q large tract of
land in the state of Chipas, Mex. 1t is
his intention to plant there colony of
the followers of the prophet gathered
from India and Arabia and give. as it
were, practical illustration of Mo-
hammedanism. The land for which he
is negotiating is situated about
300 miles south of the city of
Mexico and fifty miles south of
the now nearly completed Tchauntepcc
railroad. 1t is a part of a concession
from the Mexican government, and
said to be very fertile and capable of
producing nearly all the fruits of the
tropics and some of those of the tenn
perate zones.
Webb, whose residence is in the Phil
iipine islands, where he was United
States consul, and where he was also
converted to Mohammedanism, seems
to have taken hiking to warm coun-
tries, and claims to have thousands of
Moslem colonists ready to come to this
country for the propagation OF the
faith whenever a suitable site for the
colony shall be secured. These colon
lists, he claims, will be self-supporting
families and the general expenses of
the colony will be borne by some rich
Mohammedan merchants of Calcutta,
whom Webb has enlisted in his scheme
of evangelzing the new world. The
The colonists will be brought in q
specially chartered steamer.

NoRrnFIELD, Mimi, June IA. -E. B.
Ford, q newspaper correspondent al
Dundas, narrowly escaped lynching.
He is the correspondent for several
newspapers in which he criticised the
Mills revival meetings going on at this
place. He also made a host of enc

dalous statements about a minister
there on account of which the congre.
gation openly threatened him. Ford
received u letter on Wednesday warn
ing him to leave the country before the
end of the week if he wished to escape
trouble. He laughed at the
threat, however, and last
night ten men clothed in white
gowns and masks went to his
home and pulled him out OF bed. They
had him already hanging to tree
when his brother with rifle shot at
the crowd. Another shot was fred and
the white caps dispersed, one at least
being wounded. Ford had tainted. but
soon recovered. He claims to know
some of the men who attempted to
lynch him and will swear out warrants
for them.

PICKS UP HIS BLEEDING ARM
Patsy Lannigan Carries II Home but Does
not Know How Il Happened


BUFFALO, N. Y, June 14,--A weird
and ghastly spectacle startled the i'm
mates of No. 67s Elk street nearly out
of their wits. A man came staggering
in with a naked human arm in his hand
which dripped blood from the raw end
at every step. Dropping his grewsome
burden on the table, the
man sank into the nearest
chair. Under the yellow rays of the
flickering lamplight he looked like a
ghost. None of the terrified spectators
spoke or stirred Finally the lips of the
man parted, emitting moan so pitiful
that it froze their blood Then to
their unspealsable horror the strange
being squirmed about, turning bloody
armless shoulder toward them Then
tirst they realized that this man had
picked up his own arm after some
frightful assault or accident. The
spell was broken. They examined and
identified him.
He :sas one of the regular occupants
of the house, Patrick Lannigan. He
was stupetied with liquor, and speech-
less with suffering, They did what
they could to relieve him aud sent for
the emergency ambulance. The hos
pital authorities were likewise unable
to extort from the patient any story of
how he came to lose his arm. When
asked how he had been hurt he said he
could not remember. Hecould not tell
how. when or where it had happened.
He was full of alcohol and stupid from
saturation with it. He could not even
tell where he had been. So it is still a
mystery how Patsy Lannigan lost his
arm. The wound indicates that the
arm was cut off by the cars. 1t is sup
posed that while he was staggering
home he was struck by u train and his
right arm was run over, taking it off
close to the shoulder. The emergency
physicians reported this afternoon that
he was doing nicely, and that the
stump would soon heal.

THE YACHTS COLLIDE.
Races OH Dover Spoiled by Serious Acct.
d,nt at the Start.

LONDON, June 14.-The second of the
series of the yacht races off Dover took
place Tuesday, but the sport was practi.
cally spoiled by an unfortunate mishap,
which resulted in the withdrawal OF
the Britannia and the Vendetta from
the contest and and the practical eN.
tinction of the hope entertained by many
persons that the Valkyrie would again
show her superiority over the other
contestants. The yachts which We're
prepared to take part DIN the race
were the Britannia, Valkyrie, Calluna,
lverna. Vendetta, Anemone. Lais, Var
una and Mabel. A splendid breeze was
blowing and promised we'll for an ex-
cellent race. The yachts had been
drawn up in the positions assigned to
them and We're under way for the
starting line. The Vendetta was
pretty close to the line and her sailing
master gave orders to ease off the
sheets, and as the order was obeyed the
Vendetta yawed across the bows of
the Nalkvrie, which was close along
side of her. The Britannia, which was
close along side the Valllyrie and just
ahead of her, ran into her as the lat
ter's bows came ont in front of the Val
lsyrie. The Vendetta, Britannia and
Vallkyrie were mixed up in most con-
fusing manner. The shock of the coll
lision was so violent that many of the
hands on the Britannia and the
Vendetta We're thrown overheard.
So far rs known at pres
ent, all We're saved. The dam
age done to the Britannia and Ven
delta was quite serious. The Vall1yrie
though badly tangled up in the mess,
escaped with less damage than the
others. She was able to take part in
the race, which, however, was greatly
delayed by the accident. The Britain
MIA and Vendetta were towed back to
Dover for repairs. When the Valkyrie
finally got started she was twenty
minutes behind tho yachts which got
away ut the sound of the gun and was
fully two miles astern of the leaders.
Notwithstanding her disadvantageous
start the Vallsyrie rapidly overhaulcd
her opponents and made good race of
it, finishing second. The Calluna fin

MAxIMtllAN'S TREASURE.

A clew Wh,h Viii Likely Lead to ths Dis.
coyery of the Buried Wealth.
CITY OF MEXICO, June l4.-A few
days ago some old and musty docu-
ments We're found here by which twas
learned that treasure consisting of
jewelry and gold coin, amounting in
value to 100000 is buried at No. 6
Perpueta street, in this city. The
documents bear official mark and state
that the wealth was secreted by orders
of Emperor Mnximilian The discov-
cry of these documents produced
sensation among those
who We're permitted to
share the secret, and preparations were
nt once made for urearthing the treas
ure. Tho cxcavating was begun and
in a short time a clay vessel filled with
gold powder was unearthed then came
several pieces of solid silverware. A
depth of only a few feet has been
reached, the work having been tempo
.rarily interrupted by great flow of
water into the cavity. AS soon as the
water can be shut ont or controlled the
work of excavation will be resumed.
There seems no doubt about the docu-
ments being genuine and is believed
that all of the great wealth will, be un.
earthed,

Projected Reform In Funerals.

PITTsBURa, Pa, June 14.-Reform in
funerals is the cry among the United
Presbyterial ministers of this city. A
committee was appointed to draw up
resolutions on the subject and report
on plan to abate some of the nuis-
arces. The committee will make a
report Monday. The matter was
brought up by Rev. A. Fl. Calvert, pas
tor OF the First Church of Etna. He
said it was necessary to stop the
evil of large and costly
funerals. Another evil is the prac.
tice of preaching long sermons
about the good deeds of the departed.
In the majority of cases, he said, the
ministers know nothing whatever about
the lives of those they have been called
upon to review. He advocated confin-
ing the services to reading prayer and
perhaps songs. Some Of the Catholic
priests of the city have also taken the
matter up and preached against it. In
some Of the lrisi, parishes it is common
to sec n hundred carriages or more fol-
low the remains of a child. Many Of
those attending the funeral 20 more
