DEAD NUMBER so.
Fifty widows and $50 Orphans Made by
Evanston Mine Disaster.


EVANSTON, Wyo., March e2.-The To-
tai number now known to have per-
ished in the mine disaster at Red Canon
Wednesday evening is sixty, OF which
fifty-one are married men and nine
young men and boys. There are fifty
one widows and $50 orphaned children
as a result of the disaster. About
thirty Of the men belonged to the A 0.
u. W., in which order they were in
sured for So, 900 apiece. There
are thirty-eight unrecovered bodies
in the mine. The greater part OF the
men who have persisted are covered
with debris at the seventh level where
they were gathered awaiting the car.
Work is being pushed with all possible
speed to recover the dead. There is no
fire IN the mine.
The timbering is largely blown out
and the walls and roof of the whole in
terror are wrecked and scattered so
that the volunteer searching party
now seeking the bodies of their COM
rades are every moment in danger of
being burned. coroner's jury has
been impaneled to view the remains
when brought out and turned over to
relatives.
The agonizing screams of widows
and children about the mouth of the
mine beggars description. The mules
that were in the mine are so burned
that they have to be removed on ac-
ount of the odor before the work can
r1rOceed

TWO CHURCHES FIRED.

Largest Two CaLnOl1C CHURCHES "A " sASA-
1ngton Are Set.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Attempts
were made yesterday to set fire to two
of the largest Catholic churches in the
city-St. Patrick's and St. Dominick's s.
In both cases the fire was dis
covered and extinguished before ma
teria1 damage had been done. The col
ored janitor of st. Dominick's was
passing through the chapel shortly
after noon, when he smelled burning
oil and smoke, and found fire under the
stairway, which he managed to beat
out with his hat. Women in the church
had seen an elderly woman, tall and
dressed in black, enter the church and
leave hurriedly, seeming to be very
nervous.
Half an hour later the colored jani-
tor of st. Patrick's, which is a mile
from St. Dominick's, found behind a
door leading to the belfry pile of
blazing paper around a can of oil.
Several worshipers in the church
had seen a woman clad in black
pass down the aisle who answered
to the description of the woman who
had been noticed at the other church.
Police and detectives are securing the
city for the guilty party. All the
Catholic churches in the city are
being guarded. The incendiary is sup
posed to be some fanatic whose brain
has been affected by constant atten-
ton to religion

DENVER, March 22.-Every charge
made against the state reformatory at
Buena Vista is practically sustained by
the report of the special committee of
the state board of charities and correc-
tions, appointed to investigate the man
agement of the institution.
Cruel and inhuman punishment, the
testimony shows, has been practiced at
the institution and crimes shocking to
morality are common. Men have been
hung up by the wrists until they became
unconscious.
In one instance it was testified deputy
warden Hoyt jumped upon prisoner SO

The whole management of the institution

AS to the financial affairs of the insti-
