STOCKHOLDERS KISSED.
The Customary Row at a Meeting of the
Grand Trunk.

London, October AT meeting of
the directors of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way company today, Chairman Tyler
referred to the report that the Vanderbilt
interest had purchased $4,000 shares in
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, the aim being to
deprive the Grand Trunk road of much
traffic. Mr.. Tyler said whether the pur-
chase was made or not it would not
affect the Grand Trunk road an iota. III e
said the first half of this year had been
particularly adverse to the company.
Little produce was carried by the road
owing to the low prices prevailing in
Europe. The financial depression in the
United States had paralyzed business.
The passenger traffic to Chicago had been
exceedingly good and had helped to
lessen the losses incurred A row oc-
CURED over the appointment of a new
auditor. Several shareholders challenged
the directors to submit the accounts of
the company to an independent commit
tee. Chairman Tyler defended the direc-
tors and the meeting broke up in disor-
DIRE amid Kissing and derisive cries.

Tins of the Gang.

Spokane, October 27.-Jack Dillon, ex-
convict, and Happy jack the two dar-
ing outlaws who held upsa Cmur d'Alene
gambling saloon, and whom the officers
and posse have been looking after for
several days, were captured by consta-
Bile and six assistants yesterday and
brought to Spokane. One of the consta-
ble's assistants was killed in the encoun-
ter. The circumstances surrounding the
robbery of $1,000 in money and jewelry
taken from gambling hall have led to
shocking discoveries. A man known as
s'Funny Pete'' was fatally shot by another
posse. He said there was gang of them
and that during the last year they had
robbed banks and stores at the points of
pistols. Over 100000 had been taken.
His last words were: II know we have
killed nine women and MANY more men,"
There was great excitement in Ceur
d'Alene, but the prisoners are considered
safe in Jail here. One of the prisoners
admits that he burned up roll of bills
amounting to $60OOwhen he was satisfied

A Report that Nansen, the Explorer, Has
Been Shipwrecked.

London, October 27.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes an
article with the following headlines
Alarming news from Siberia. Has the
Fran Gone DOWN." The article says
that a Norwegian, returning from
northern Russia, brings news to the
effect that since leaving Jugerschar
Strait, otherwise known as Pet Strait
narrow passage between the westnorth-
west extremity of Siberia and the Island
of Valgats, the Fran was sighted by a
number of Samoyedes. or natives, in
habiting the shores OF the Arctic ocean.
She was outside the River Kara and was
working heavily and awkwardly in the
ice. According to the story, the Russians
claim that the Fran would be unable to
withstand the buffeting from the ice and
the pinching she would receive. 1t is
also stated that Nansen's temperament
had greatly changed, and that he seemed
vaccilatipg, restless and melancholy.

we have done in the past. This great
controversy ought to have been settled
by compromise and concession. Let me
say this for Colorado. We owe the East
large sums of money The people of the
East who forced these conditions upon
us will not find us retaliating by refusing
to pay our debts. We shall pay the last
farthing. When l speak of Colorado, l
speak OF all the silver producing states.
Ii your great railroads in that col ry
cannot pay the interest on the bonds
that you hold, that is not our fault.
But our personal obligations we will
pay. The men who own thn money of
the world know that if they can put this
country on gold standard and can
keep it there for five years, they will
have put the world on that standard.
Then we return to the conditions of
things which existed prior to the dis
covery of gold in California. Prices will
go lower and lower. Individual oppor-
tunities will be less and less. | am not a
pessimist, but l cannot contemplate this
condition of things without absolute
terror. I want to utter this as a warm
ing to the American people. II they do
not now resist they will enter upon a
system of industrial slavery which will
be the worst known to the human race !"

Teller's manner, and he was listened to

MARRIED A MAINE GIRL.
A Young New Yorker Who Created a SEN
sation Some Time Ago.

New York, October 27.-Edward de
Lima, whose mysterious disappearance
created CONSERVATION among his family
and friends in January, 1892, has been
happily married. His bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Gurney of Saco,
Me.
The wedding was celebrated very quiet
~ in the Fifth Avenue hotel at 8 o'clock
wednesday afternoon, in the presence of
only immediate relatives of the bride and
groom, and perhaps dozen other wit
nesses.
Perhaps no disappearance from this
city created more amazement and appre-
hension than that of Edward de Lima.
He was % years old, graduate of Har-
ward university and member of the firm
of ID. A. deLima & Co., South American
merchants, at 69 William street.
The young mans habits had been ex
cellent. He had inherited $1,000, 900 from
his fathers estate and his business pros
poets were very bright. He had no en-
tangling alliances of any kind. S@
There was absolutely no cause for his
strange disappearance, so far as his fam
lily could tell. A reward of $500 was Of
tered by the family, but no trace was
found of him until some friends of the
family cabled from Paris that Eddie was
safe in that city.

Bath, October 27-This morning NE
Gordon, Portland diver, walked across
the bottom of the Kennebec river. be-
tween Moulton's machine shop and
point between the two ferry slips at
Woolwich. Mr.. Gordon was EMPLOYED
by the Maine Water company to examine
the bottom of the river, as the comnanv
propose to run that long talked of pine
to Nequasset lake across at this point
instead of at Winslow's lodges which was
once thought to be the best place.
A wire had been stretched across for
the divers guidance, and he made the
trip without accident in the presence of
quite crowd He reported the bottom
in most excellent condition to serve as
resting place for the pipe The sur
roundings show an average depth of forty
feet. At this point, the river is remarkably
free from rocks. 1T was low water when
Mr.. Gordon made the trip.
Whether the pipe will be laid over ex-
actly this course is not as vet decided
A town meeting will be held next Thurs
day to see if the citizens Of Bath will
ratify the action of the city council
giving the company permission to make
connections with Nequasset lake. This
is the best point for some reasons, the
chief being that the pipe can run through
the cut of the Knox & Lincoln railroad.
thus saving the labor of blasting. The
pumping station will be located at the
lower end of the pond. The only obiec-
tion yet made is the risk incurred from
vessels anchors. Vessels are forbidden
to anchor between the ferries but they
always have done it and probably ALWAYS
will.

FIGHTING FIRE AT SEA.
The Life Boats Were Ready for Use on
the Steamship Gellert.

New York, October 27.-The steam
ship Gellert, which arrived today from
Hamburg, reports as follows:
On Sunday, October %, at noon, we
discovered smoke coming out of the ven
tilators which entered the steerage. The
ventilators and all other openings were
closed, and steam and water put into the
steerage and the lower hold. In this
manner we tried to extinguish the flre.
After this the boats were made ready for
use, and the cabin deck put under water.
After removing the cabin passengers and
their effects out of the water part OF the
vessel we stopped the engine to avoid
any draft, and made a trial to come di-
rectly to the place of the fire by putting
hons from the cabin to the steerage. but
had to give up the attempt after having
tried several hours. Then we closed all
the openings to await daylight. When
daylight came, several other trials to en-
ter the steerage were made, but without
success. We discovered a rapidly in
creasing temperature in the saloon and
removed the carpets, which were left
wet in the saloon to keep the decks cool.
and then discovered that smoke was
coming out of the deck seams. We
made several holes in the saloon deck,
putting hose through these holes and
forcing the water directly into the steer
age to the fire. Besides this we cooled
tie iron plates on the outside of the ship
on the starboard side, which had become
warm by the intense heat in the inside of
the vessel. We kept on in this manner
till Tuesday morning, and then entered
the steerage room by way of the main
hatch and came to the place of the fire,
which we succeeded in extinguishing by
noon time. For the safety of the pas
sengers and the vessel it was necessary
to remove the burning cargo, which we
threw overheard. On Wednesday morn
ing, at about 4 o'clock, after we had
worked increasingly, all the burning car
go was removed. The cargo in the
5teerage consisted of bales of bed feath-
ers, starch, millet, barrels of beer, stone
goods and rubber, and several boxes of
music and toy goods. The origin Of the
fire was spontaneous combustion. The
place of the fire was on the starboard
side of the steamer, directly under the
tirst-class saloon. No one was injured
and all arrived safely in port,

Pittsburg, October 27.-Shortly after ]
O'Clock this afternoon, the entire fire de-
partment of the city was summoned to g
fire in the immense building owned and
occupied by the Chautauqua Lake Ice
company and the Plttsburg Storage COM
pany. Edward Spies, an employe, dis
covered the fire. He was working on the
fourth floor and was almost Instantly en-
veloped in flames. He was driven to a
window fifty feet from the ground. He
crept out upon the narrow window sill
and dropped down hanging by his hands
until reached by the laddermen. His
hands, arms and face were literally
roasted. In five minutes after the dis
covery of the fire, the great structure
was ablaze on every floor A soaking
rainfall aided greatly in preventing the
spread of the fire, which at several times
threatened the destruction of many
valuable properties in the vicinity.
At 2 O'Clock the occupants of surround
ing buildings were notified to move out.
Between Mulberry alley and Pennsyl-
vanla avenue, on southeast side of
the building, where the cheap tenements,
crowded with Polish Jews and Slavs.
Fifteen minutes later, the side of the big
building fell, burying the long row Of
tenements just vacated. The flames i'm
mediately burst from the buried build
ings. At 2.30, the four upper stories of
the Thirteenth street wall fell outward,
burying the street to a depth of ten feet
and crushing the house of John Glenn,
on the opposite side of the street. On the
ground floor OF the warehouse were five
loaded freight cars. They were drawn,
burning, to a place of safety. OF all the
hundreds Of thousands of dollars worth
of.property stored in the building, these
five carloads were all that was saved.
The large warehouse of the Haveler
Storage company on the opposite side of
Pike street caught fire several times, but
was not seriously damaged. The rear of
a number of Pennsylvania avenue build
ings was severely scorched. The most
serious damage here was to Hibers drug
store, which with its contents was almost
DESTROYED. There were number OF
marrow escapes made by the employees in
the storage building J. H. Gilman
dropped from third story window to
the alley. His injuries are fatal Edward
Spies may not recover. Three others
were badly burned and one fireman was
injured. a number of people were
knocked down and trampIed upon when
the crowd surged back at the time the
walls fell
President VIM. Scott stated tonight that
the loss to the Chautauqua Lake Ice
company and the Pittshurg Storage COM
pany will be nearly million dollars. He
could not estimate the insurance.
At 10 tonight the fire was still burning
furiously. It is confined within the
tottering walls. "a
