ST. LOUIS, April 2s.-A special to the
Republic from New Orleans says: Fire
started about II o'clock tonight in the
kitchen of the st. Charles hotel on st,
Charles, Grayier sand Common streets.
From the kitchen it assembled through
back elevator to the upper stories of the
building. The progress of the flames
was SO rapid that the Common
street side of the third, fourth
and fifth stories was soon in flames,
and before the occupants and servants
could be moved. Every effort was made
10 awaken all the occupants, but the
flames drove the fremen and others
back. Several persons were seen at
a window on the fourth floor, facing
on Common street, apparently in
flames. crying for help. One of them,
man. sprang from the window, falling
on the pavement ON his head and
dashing out his brains. His clothes
were burned from him and the body
was BLACK with burns. What became
of the others who were standing around
him, whether they escaped or were
burned to death, it is impossible to say,
and it will not be known until the ruins
are searched tomorrow The dead man
was burned beyond recognition, and 1t
was impossible to say whether he was q
guest or servant.
Ladders were placed against the
windows on the lower floors and sew
g raj women were taken down, many
of them in fainting condition. An
o her man who sprang from a
window was instantly killed. His name
and residende are unknown. The flames
were confined to the rear and side,
leaving the front on st. Charles street
uninjured, so that the trunks and bag
gage of the guests were mostly saved,
as we'll as goods In the stores on st.
Charles street. The hotel had quite
number of guests, how many it is not
known, as the register cannot be found,
but it is supposed they number 200.
Most of them were in the front rooms
and escaped. The hotel was built in
1856 at a cost of million dollars, and
for years was the; fnest-in the South.
1t looks now as though it would be
complete loss. The loss will probably
exceeds$5e0, 600. sz42 @z&se

Fatal Battle With Thieves in an
Iowa Town.


OMAHA. April 2S.-In fight with
thieves at Missouri Valley, To-. this
morning the city marshal was killed
and two or three other people were des-

The perpetrators were tramps, but all
attempts to arrest them had proved
fruitless. This morning the city mar.
Shal was notified that gang of thieves
was conce aled in barn on the edge of
town. The officer swore in several dep
uties and proceeded to the scene with
the intention of capturing them. The
posse surrounded the structure and de-
manded that the occupants surrender.
Instead of doing so, however, some of
the THE yes opened fire on the officers.
One Of the bullets pierced the breast of
City Marshal Adna Whitney, killing
him instantly. Peter johnson, one Of
the thieves, was shot four times.
He will die. Deputy j. B. Lyon also
received flesh wound. Thirty or forty
shots were fired, and then the men
broke for liberty. William Henderson,
a resident of Missouri Valley. at whose
place the men were staying, was be-
Heved to be party to the crimes COM
mitted, and he and his wife were ar
rested. There is talk Of lynching.
BlOodhouuds have been asked for to put
on the trail of the men who escaped.

An important meeting of the Mime

night, at which conference took place
between President Debs. the members
of the club and several citizens of st.
Paul.
The atten dance was large, and among
those present we're number of promi-
nent men interested in the movement
from st. Paul.
A general discussion took place, after
which committee on resolutions was
appointed.
The committee made the following
report:
Resolved, That we, citizens of Minne-
apolis and St. Paul, viewing with
grave concern the serious conflict now
in progress between the Great Northern
having assembled in joint meeting solely
to devise some means by which conflict
ing interests may be brought together
on fair and equitable grounds, offer it
as our opinion that both the company
and the committee of its employees
should submit their differences to a
board of arbitration.
We suggest that such board shall con-
sist of five members, one to be selected
by the employees. one by the railway
company and three by the judges of our
state supreme court. The reasons that
impel us to take this action are the
growing belief and hope that questions
involving controversies between capital
and labor are best settled by fair arbi-
tration.
There being at present no laws gov
ernlng such cases. it becomes necessary
for the parties in interest to determine
upon some plan of arbitration.
We believe that capital and labor will
suffer equally in establishing prece-
dent that rejects fair arbitration on such
occasion. and in the end is likely to lead
to grave results.
We know nothing of the rights and
wrongs of either side, but do know that
whatever wrongs exist should be
rIghted. and that justice can be OBJ.
