TABERNACLE BURNED.
Talmage's Brooklyn Church Again De-
stroyed by Fire.

Talmage's Brooklyn Church Agai De.
stroyed by Fire.
BROOKLYN, May 15.-Just after serv-
ice Sunday, and while Dr.. Talmage
was shaking hands with members of
his congregation, fire burst out between
the pipes Of the organ, and within 10
minutes the big tabernacle was doomed
to total destruction. Adjoining the
church was the Hotel Regent, eight
stories in height. The fire spread from
the tabernacle;t to this hotel and then to
the dwelling houses on Green and
Waverly emf and opposite the tab
ernacle. The wind blew the blazing
cinders in such quantities in a south
sasterly direction that the dwelling
houses on Waverly avenue, two squares
away, and also the Summerfeld Meth
odist church, were set on fire by them.
But the greatest loss on any one of
these structures did not exceed $4,000.
The total loss, however, reaches nearly
$4,000, 900.
The Fire Spread Rapidly.
Ex-Supervisor John H. Reed, who
was rehearsing with the choir in the
Summerfeld Methodist Episcopal
church, two blocks in the rear of the
tabernacle, had discovered that the
building was on fire and sent in IN
alarm to the fire headquarters. This
was quickly followed by a second,
third and fourth alarm, which brought
out all the apparatus in the western
district of the city. 1t was nearly 20
minutes before the fremen arrived on
the scene and then half a hundred
streams of water were turned on the
blazing pile. But the church was
doomed and every effort was devoted to
saving adjoining property. In three
hours only the bare walls of one Of the
costliest structures Of Brooklyn remain.
ed standing. Long ere this, however,
it became evident that the Hotel Regent
was also doomed. The fire started here
on the second story but was speedily ex.
tinguished. This proved to be only q
temporary relief, for a little later
flames were discovered in an upper
story, blowing fiercely up the air shaft
A Fearful Picture Of Destruction.

Attempt to Settle the Big Coal Strike
Now in Progress.
CLEVELAND, O., May 15.-Every train
arriving in this city during the night
and early hours of the morning brought
delegates to attend the miners conven-
ton and the conference which takes
place at the chamber of commerce be-
tween the miners and operators.
Verg few operators put in an appear.
ance as early as did the miners dele
gates, but a large number of rooms
have been reserved for them at the va
rious hotels, and a good sized delega-
ton will probably arrive in the city by
nightfall.
A Difference of Opinion.
While it has been said the Pittsburg
district operators have been asserting
right along that their men are willing
to work for 55 cents a toni they could
be assured protection, it was not long
after the miners had arrived before it
became apparent that so far as the del
egates represent the feelings of the
strikers, that the men are not at all
willing to return for the same wages"
Not There to Compromise.
Secretary P. J. McBryde voiced the
sentiments Of a good many delegates
when he answered a suggestion as to a
compromise.
''No, sir" he said, 1--WE did not come
here for a compromise, and thus far we
have no such word in u vocabulary.
Nothing short of what we ask will give
the miners living wages, and for that
we contend. We can hold out for three
months, but we have no desire to do so.
For that reason we came to this con.
ference"
Mr.. McBryde would not for a mo.
ment consider the effect of settlement il

what is done elsewhere.

A rupture Of diplomatic relations is
sometimes tantamount to a declaration

so serious in this case. It is difficult to
see how the Portuguese government can

be accompli shed by the surrender Of
Admiral da CANA, who is reported to

in it's obstinacy, will probably stand in

Three stnres of Denth hx Hanging

ST have made the subject Of death by
hanging a long study" said DR.. d. s.
Lamb, an ex-surgeOn of the United
States army. From my observations
during my experience in the army, 1 feel
justified in saying that death by hanging
is the most exaggerated of all modes. II
may be immediate and without symp-
tom, but the subject must pass through
three stages before death.
I'm the first stage the victim passes
into a partial stupOr lasting from thirty
seconds to two minutes, but this is gen
orally governed by the length of the
drop. the weight of the body, and the
tightness of the construction. There is
absolutely no pain in this stage; the
feeling is rather one of pleasure. The
subjective symptoms described are in
tense heat in the head, brilliant flashes
of light in the eyes, deafening sounds in
the ears. and a heavy, numb feeling in
the lungs In the second stage. the sub
ject passes into Inconsistencies and
commissions usually occur. In the third
state all is quiet except the beating of
the heart. Just before death the agita-
ton is renewed, but in different way
from that in the second state. The feet
are raised the tongue has a peculiar
spasm, the chest heaves, the eyes pro-
trude from the orbits and OsCillate from
side to side, and the pupils dilate. The
pulse can. in most cases. be felt ten min
utes after the drop.
II once knew man who was DESTROYS
of ascertaining if there was any suffer
ing by hanging, and in order to find out
he placed a rope around his neck and
stepped off a bench, intending to step
back again, but he became immedia tely
unconscious, and would have died in a
few minutes had it not been for the
timely arrival of a friend. He said he
experienced all the feelings that I men
toned in the first stage. "-Globe-DemO-

HELD UP HIS HANDS.
But There Was a Pistol in One and
1t Cost Him HIS Life.

The particulars of the killing Of F.
E. Eddinger. the man who robbed Team
ster Otto Hampton of Jose &
Enery's freight money and the
murderer of his employer, E. w. Jose,
whom he had snoU and fatally wounded
on the night of June 10 at Lewiston.
Trinity county, while the latter was try
ing to arrest him for the robbery, show
that the fugitive was shot through the
heart with a rifle ball fired by Deputy
Sheriff Chase.
After Jose had been shot Sheriff Bowie
of Weaverville, Trinity county, took up
the trail of the murderer at Lewiston
and tracked him to within five miles OF
Redding. He came into Redding and
notified the officers here that he was
certain that the robber was heading for
the railroad. and that he was positive
that he was on the right track.
Constable Pleisch and Deputy Sheriff
Chase took the trail, proceeding to Cot
tonwood Shasta county, until within a
mile of that place, where the road crosses
the railroad track where they stopped
each taking one side of the road. Soon
they saw Eddinger coming down the road
and commanded him to halt. When the
robber stopped Chase said: Throw up
you hands"
The robber answered: 81 have done
nothing"
There came a shot from Pleisch's gun
over the robbers head again and the in
junction, Throw up your hands,"
The robber threw both hands up and al
the same time his pistol Chase could
not see the pistol in his hand. The robber
hand and at the same time commenced
nothing in them
There was fence between Chase and
the robber, and Chase was obliged TO
climb over. When he had gotten over
he noticed the pistol in the robbers hand.
Levelling his rifle, Chase said: Drop
the pistol" when the robber lowered his
hand and at the same time commenced
firing.
After two shots Chase fell on his
knees, and the robber thinking he had
killed his pursuer turned and COM
menced shooting at Pleisch. While in
this condition Chase took deliberate aim
with his rifle and sent a bullet through
the robbers heart, killing him instantly.

ROARING WELLS.
Is Their Remarkable Action Caused
by a Subterranean Tidal Force.

There is a peculiar district, or rather
a district over a peculiar subterranean
formation in the Platte river valley in
Nebraska, involving more particularly
the counties of Colfax, Butler and Polk
This is the region of the singular roar
ing wells whose waters also rise and
fall with a clearly defined tidal action
OF the three counties mentioned Polk
leads, having sixteen or eighteen Of the
curiosities. There are hours when the
water will gradually rise, and during
this time the wells exhale such a guam
tity of air as to make a. strong current,
which is accompanied by roaring sound
which can be heard to a considera bic
distance. After a short interval of quiz
escence the ebb sets in, the water slowly
falls, and the inhalation that follows is
as if the air at the mouth Of the well
We're in a mad rush to follow the re-
ceding tide.
From these facts an impression pre-
walls in many minds that Nebraska,
Kansas and portion of the Indian ter
ritoryt rest on an immense subterranean
sea. In support of this position, il is
alleged that square miles of land have
disappeared in Kansas, leaving lakelets
Of unfathomable depth instead. While
it is true that the other regions men
toned also occasionally exhibit wells
having this roaring feature, there is
nothing in this to sustain the view Of
an underground lake or sea, certainly
not as we understand these terms when
they are applied TO bodies of water on
the surface Nor is it by any means
uncommon for portions of surface to
sink from sight, a case of this kind hav-
ing recently occurred during the earth
quake in Venezuela. in South America
and the Sunk country in the vicinity
o. New Madrid, on the Mississippi river,
having disappeared in the prolonged Sc
ismic disturbance Of 1S11-12.
While it may not be generally known.
it is. nevertheless. a fact. that some of
Pennsylvania gas wells have exhibited
this peculiar tidal tendency; and while
in many instances the drill has pene-
trated below the ocean level, il does
not allow necessarily that any of these
wells. either of water or gas are in COM
munication with the sea. What would
seem far more probable is that these
wells may communicate with areas. that
have more or less direct Connection with
the mobile interior, and where we may
logically infer there is also a tidal mani
festation All the Nebraska roaring
wells extend down to a porous stratum,
presumably surface in some former age,
and it is probable that the water lying
among the loose material Of a former
bed is some way affected by pressure
eXerted against it by the earth's internal
tides When the recession takes place,
1t is only natural that there should be
suction inward and an expulsion when
the flow sets in. The occasional subs
dence of surfaces below water level can
be readily accounted for. apart from any
theory of underground oceans, which is
entirely untenable. But these remark
able wells are worthy of a more careful
observation than they Rave yet received.

Executive Session.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
steps Taken to Form n Perfect Pre-
cinct Organization.


The committee retired TO parlor s Of
the hotel and went at once into execu-
tive session, with Chairman Taggart pre-
siding. After a few pleasant words of
comment upon the object of their meet
ing, in which he stated il to be his firm
conviction that the state would be car
ried by the democrats if the proper
amount of work was done, Mr. Taggart
announced, formally, the appointment
OF Joseph Kelley as secretary and John
r. Wilson as treasurer of the committee
These appointments were not only unan-
imously confirmed. but complmented by
the members of the committee present.
All the committeeman We're present

the Thirteenth and Kintz of the EieV-
enth. Mr.. Buskirk was represented by
Perry Mozart of Orange The first two
gentlemen were absent at their cOnven-
tions and Mr.. Buslxirk could not be here
on account of sickness.
1t was decided by the committee to
see that a perfect precinct organiza ton
be effected throughout the state at once
and in this way the state will be under
a thorough organization by the time the
state convention meets on Aug. Is. 1t
was the unanimous wish of the commit
tee that speaking campaign be inau-
gurated Immediately after the state con-
3
gressively from that time until the day
OF the election. No part of the state
will be neglected. Not only will the able
speakers of Indiana be utilized but as
the republicans have signiied their in
tention to bring into the state Mr. Nc
Kinley and other foreign speakers of
note. democratic speakers from other
states VIII be here to assist in coping
with them. The issues will be discussed
and the blame of the recent troubles
placed where it belongs. The committee
was perfectly harmonious throughout
and a unit as to the wisest policy to
pursue during the campaign. Every
member realized that Indiana is a dem
ocratic state, that the democrats are
without encouragement and harmonious
and the state will be carried this fall.
The committee was unanimous in desir-
ing to push vigorous, aggressive cam
paign, and the war will be carried into
the enemy's territory. One of the live
Hest campaigns in the history of the
state is promised.
