and slowly dying Of hunger. The humane
societies at Duluth will at once take this
part of the relief work in charge.
There was a wedding yesterday in the
midst of several hundred fire sufferers by
the Rev. G. c. Salter. The bride was
Sophie Samuelson and the groom John
Deroser. both refugees from Sandstone
junction. 1t was one OF the few cheer
full incidents of the fire. Chief of Police
Armstrong was best man and Mrs. Crow
ley, head of the Woman's relief corps,
was bridemaid. The father and mother
of the bride stood with the Others and
her six brothers and sisters and the fam
lily dog looked on from the corner of the
room. The families Of the bride and
groom are destitute fro n the fire. Deroser,

and with a box-car for a temporary
house, put UP a modest cabin, his bride
meanwhile staying with friends. He is a
pluclxy fellow, and his bride also has
plenty Of grit.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Sept. 5.-A special
10 the Pioneer Press from Pine City.
Mimi. says:
Tonight's corrected figures are of a
character calculated TO lower rather
than raise the total number Of dead.
There has been an increase over pre-
vious estimates at Hinckley. but the
prospect Of any considerable number re-
naming still in the woods is decreasing
There are 23S buried In Hinckley grave
yard and perhaps a dozen more buried
at other points in the vicinity. increas-
ing the total here to about $50. but the
additional number here may be safely
taken away from the liberal estimate
allowed for those yet unbound, leaving
the total between 375 and 400
Three OF the bodies found today were
identified as the Olsen children. Their
mother is in the hospital at Minneapolis
badly burned. When she was here at
Pine City she was confident that her
husband and children were alive. The
children have now been found and the
father Is undoubtedly dead.
Mr.. Weber's report of interments
shows an increase over The estimates.
Al that have been brought in were
buried. and his list shows 23S. He says
tonight that possibly this is too .Ow. as
q few boxes were put in and recorded as
single bodies before he learned that some
boxes held more than one corpse. After
that he opened each box before il was
covered and counted the bodies. The

gone on there for The past few days re-
moved SO far as possible. The force was

TO ANNUL ITS CHARTER.
Action Against the American To-
baccO Company.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The taking of
Testimony was begun today at the offices
81 Einstein & Townsend in an action
brought by AttOTney-G General Stockton of
New Jersey to annul the charter of the
American tobacco company, on the
ground that IT was operating as a trust
against the laws Of New Jersey.
]. B. Duke testified he had been pres
ident Of the American tobacco company
four years. The directors of the COM
pany are A. c. Gunter, George w. Watts,
B. n. Duke. Josiah Brown, William But
Ter, W. A. Marburg, George w Gale,
c. S. Emmery and ]. B. Duke. Mr..
Duke said the company had several
factories In Kentucky, two i'm Richmond,
Va, one in Rochester, y. Y, two in Bald-
more and others in Durham, y. c., Dan
VILE Winston, Archwood, Henderson,
Louisville and GreenSburg, n. G.
The witness answered Don't know
to many questions as TO how the New
Jersey branch was run.
Has not the American tobacco COM
pany. the Newark. n. j.. office, merely
to apparently comply with the laws of
New Jersey?" asked the counsel.
''Well, I suppose it is with that idea, -
responded Mr.. Duke.
He told how the manufacturers met
in October at the Stuyvesant house and
the FYfth-ave. hotel and discussed the
pooling of their interests. They oh
laws would not permit a trust and then
formed a company which they believed,
and are still of the same opinion, com
piled with the law. The entire prop
critics of the several companies were
turned over to the American tobacco
company. Dukes Sons & Co., the wit
ness declared, sold 900 100000 paper
cigarettes during the year 1889. The only
way the witness could suggest getting at
the exact figures as to the cigarette out
put would be from the books of the
company.
And where are the books %
Il don't know where the New York
books are. 1 think they were burned in
the factory during our big fire. Neither
do 1 know if the books were kept after
the corporation merged into the Ameri-
can tobacco company"
In conclusion he said $500, 900 had been
spent in advertising in 1883 and that
sales were made all over the world.

DIR. Wrman Doubts II.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. Sur
geOn-General Wyman today said: 81 do
not believe that Walther died Of Asiauc
cholera. There is now no cholera in
Bremen, the port from which he is said
to have come, and has been none. There
has been no diseace found among the
other men from the Elbe, now detained al
Pittsburg, being held for further de-
velOpments."
What is the situation with regard 10
the disease in Europe?" was asked.
1T is rather on the increase in Russia,
and is getting over into western Europe.
but so Tar has been confined TO the most
southern portions Of that coast. and is
most prevalent in Austria-Hungary. This
has kept il away from the ports whence
the immigrants come to these shores, and
as there is a rigid consular inspection On
that side as vel as a most thorough
quarantine service on this, 1 am abso-
lute,y certain that no case Of cholera
has got into America this year. There
have been two cases caught at quaran-
tine. but they have not amounted to
anything. 1t will be practically impos-
sible for an epidemic. un.ess there is a
relaxation Of vigilance on the part OF
health officers and consuls. By the first
of September we were practically over
the worst of the panic, and il looks as
though the great danger Of contagion -

The Coke Men Out.

UNIONTOWN, Pa, Sept. Am this
end of the Connellsville field the coke
men came out today again and tonight
nearly all the plants south OF this place
are idle once more. Before the old hands
went back and pleaded poverty and
peaceful intentions to the operators they
had an understanding with their fellows
that they would go back long enough
to displace the colored men and drive
them out Of the region, which would
enable the original strikers to get con-
trol again.
Early this morning the men began 10
gather at the Brownfield works for the
parade Marching from plant to plant
the strikers kept tramprg and cheering
and calling out men at work a the
ovens until nearly every plant in the
southern end of the region was deserted.
As a possible intimation of what might
be in reserve in case coaxing failed To
call out the men a work the strikers
fired dynamite bombs At each place Wis
tied. They seemed to have an mex
haustible supply of explosives and We're
prodigal in its use The firing created
more excitement than the marching and
music and shouting of the strikers.

the public by this proceeding"
Judge Woods seemed SURPRISED at Mr..

ward In his chair calmly said:
The court, of course. gives counsel

in one way or another and so far as

cerned the court will necessarily have

The Fondest Hour Memory Recalls.

The question naturally suggests itself,
Which is 1.-The fondest hour memory re-
calls?' Has the reacer, whose attention
hope to engage, ever had controversy
with his stomach the subject of dys-
pepsia? After convincing proofs that the
digestive organ has got the upper hand
has a wise resort been made to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters? If so, the ''fondest
hour" has been recalled by memory in the
shape of a lasting resumption of the power
to digest, assimilate thoroughly and eat
heartily without fear Of being uncomfort-
able afterwar6 When the dinner bell that
