LUMBER WARD BURNED.
100000 Fire in MINNEAPOLIS
Yesterday Afternoon.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 30.-Twenty acres
OF lumber pits, containing about 25, 600.
600 feet Of lumber belonging TO The
Shevlin-C Carpenter Lumber Com pany,
situated on the west bank of the river,
within quarter of mile Of the centre
OF the city, were totally destroyed by
fire this afternoon at loss Of fully
100000 In addition TO this the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha round
house, immediately adjoining the yards
on the south, were burned, together
with twenty one freight cars, and the
valuable Pintsch car plant.
Carelessness on the part Of the engi-
neer and fireman of an Omaha switch
engine, who neglected to close the dam.
pers OF their engine while passing the
yards, is supposed to have been the
cause Of the fire. A spark from the en-
CINE is thought to have fallen among the
piles OF lumber, which, dried by long
weeks OF drought, made excellent fuel
for the flames.
The Star elevator took fire in several
places but was saved. Numerous fires
were also started in different parts of
the city but in each case they were ex-
ttnguished in short order.

ROANOKE VA. TUESDAY MORNING. JUL 81 1884,
FILING THEIR CLAIMS.
Railroad Companies Are Now
Demanding Damages.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-Notices were
served 10 day by s. Foster, attorney for
several railroads, OF damages claimed
against the city OF Chicago and the
county OF Cook for loss OF property dur
ing tho American Railway Union strike.
The notices we're served on the mayor,
city clerk. the corporation counsel, the
city attorney and on tho president OF
tho county board, the county clerk and
the county attorney.
The aggregate damages claimed are
S38,670. This represents only about
one tenth OF the actual damages claimed,
many roads having several days left in
which to file their claims. The roads
which filed claims to-day, with the
amount of damages, are as follows:
Lake Erie and Western, SlO,IO1; De-
troit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee,
$3.50; Chicago and Northwestern, S4lO;
Chicago Refrigerator Line, 81. 1Ol; New
York Central and Hudson River Rail
way Company, S345; Monon, $3.50; Flint
and Pierre Marquette, SIS; Chicago and
Erie, 800; Swift Refrigerator Line,
5000; American Co., 500; Central Car
Trust Company OF New York, $500;
Chicago and Grand Trunk, Sl2,I5O;
Grand Trunk Railroad, S7,7s5, and
Grand Trunk Co., of Canada, S., 1895.
Besides these claims shippers filed
through Mr.. Foster, claims amounting
to at least 100000. This was done by
the shippers on the express declaration
OF the railroads that they will pay no
claims whatever made against them by
shippers for damages to freight handled
during the strike.
The General Managers Association
takes the ground that the city and
county in not furnishing adquate pre-.
lection to the railroads, arc responsible
for all damages to freight. The
damages claimed by the railroads in the
above list are mostly for cars burned
after July 1.
1t is believed many more suits will be
filed by shippers who lost noavily on
pcrisha Bile freight during the strike.

that resulted in his death. He was
riding at Weikersdorf, near Baden,

stone. One Of his feet became entangled
in stirrup. and, the horse running, he
was dragged some distance before the
animal was stopped. The archduke,
who was unconscious, was carried into q
nearby restaurant and medical aid was
at once summoned.
Tbs physicians found that he was suf-
fering from concussiou Of tho brain,
and gave orders for his removal to his
own villa. Shortly after he had been
placed in bed at the villa he recovered
consciousness, and hopes wero enter
taincd of his recovery. He soon re-
lapsed, however, and shortly afterward
died,

AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
n Miscreant Tries to Blow Up Whole
Family with Dynamite

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 30.-An un--
known party made desperate but un-
successful attempt to murder Louis
Penn and his whole family at Gallatin,
at an early hour yesterday morning, by
placing bomb in the window OF tho
sleeping room and exploring it. Penn
and his wife were badly cut about the
face and body by the flying glass. but
the children and woman who was
visiting the family escaped unhurt.
The house was badly wrecked, the
glass all being blown out of the wind ows
and the furniture smashed up. The re-
port woke up nearly every body in that
part of the town, and for d time there
WAS great excitement. Penn is negro,
bears splendid reputation, and did not
know he had an enemy in the world.
A white lady living across the street
saw man at the window, but could not
recognize him. There is no clue to tho
perpetrator of tho crime

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Tho Presi--
dent and Secretary Carlisle had an ex-
tended Conference after o'clock this
afternoon, presumably on the tariff
situation.
The Democratic conferees on the
tariff bill were in session moro than
an hour this forenoon, but failed to
reach an agreement on the three items
of coal. iron ore and sugar. The House
conferees maintained their previous posi-.
tion OF standing by the House bill and the
Senate members were equally firm in
their attitude of loyalty to the Senate.
At 1 o'clock the Democrats and Re-
publican conferees met and Harris an
nounced the action of the full COM
mittee. The conferees then ad iourned
subject to the call Of the chairman.
Voorhees, and Vest were not present.
Voorhees, is confined to his bed and the
impression prevails that his condition is
worse than has been publicly acknowl-
edged. Vest was at the Capitol but re-
NAMED in ais committee room He has
erysipelas and his face is painted with
iodine. so he remained away from the
conference subjest to call If his presence
there was required.
When Harris made the statement that
the Democrats had been unable to
agree and that they would consider the
question further before they again
called the conferees together, Allison,
speaking for the Republicans, said that
he hoped the Democrats would get to-
gether and agree upon something as
soon as possible as the country was
anxiously awaiting final action, and
that such action should be had.
In anticipation of some such result
rs has happened Springer had circulated
call for caucus of the House Demo
Gratis to meet Tuesday, but this after
noon the date for tho caucus WAS
changed to Thursday. None of tho
House conferees signed tho call for this
caucus and they are disposed TO regard
it as reflection upon them. This pro-
posed caucus was not, however, touched
upon at the tariff conference this morn
ing
1t ID apparent, even to casual OBJ
server, that the House Democrats have
determined not to accept the Senate
bill without some concessions Three
OF the four House conferees, Wilson,
Montgomery and Turner, are willing to
remain in session until the fourth OF
next March rather than surrender to
the Senate. Mcmillan, the remaining
member of the House committee. is
more liberal and is willing to meet the
Senate conferees in moro concilatory
spirit The House conferees know, how.
ever, that their position has the en-
| dorsement of the President and Speaker
Crisp. as we'll as that OF a majority of
the leading members of the party on
the floor, and this is great encourage
ment to them.
Notwithstanding the apparent hope
lessness OF the deadlock there are plenty
OF members in both houses who predict
that tariff bill will be agreed upon and
passed They are not, however, willing
to be- quoted as to how it is to be done
or what the bill will BIO like.

AFTER CHICAGO POLICEMEN.
1t is Claimed They Give Protection to
Gamblers.

CncAGo, July 3o.-A grand jury
to-day filed u report in court saying:
1--WE find that gambling is being carried
on to its fullest extent in Chicago, with
doors wide open and cappers and stool
pigeons plying their vocation to catch
the unwary for the purpose OF fleeing
any victim who happens to fall into
their hands, and that the heads Of the
police department of this city are giving
some of the places mentioned ample
protection from arrest and prosecution !"
list of places at which it is alleged
that gambling is being carried on is ap-
pended. The jury gives as reason for
not returning indictments against the
proprietors OF these places that the as.
sistant states attorney informed them
that it would be impossible 10 secure
convictions.
The assistant states attorney denies
having made this statement. He says
he merely told the jury that it would
be difficult to get testimony which
would result in convictions.
