JUMPED LIKE SHEEP.
THE FEAR-SlCK GIRLS IN THE FACTORY.
One Dashed to Pieces on the Pavement-T Thrill ing Rescue of Fireman-A Sur
 ssiyars Strange Story

Montreal, Canada, April 26.--The ruins of the Mcdonald tobacco factory were visited this morning by an enormous number of sightseers. The streets were black with people, attracted by curios- ty and other motives. Nearly 10 900 people were present at about 10 o'clock.
 When the firemen turned out at o'clock yesterday afternoon and raced to the corner of Ontario and Herville streets, they realized at a glance that a hard task was in store for them. In the huge five-story Mcdonald building was packed some 1900 people, and the flames were already showing in the dry ing and heating rooms, where the fire broke out. The work of rescue was speedily seen to be a difficult one. In front of each window was a thick wire gauge, which was in a few cases torn off by the frantic girls in their efforts to gain liberty. To the great horror of the panic-stricken multitude below, one of the girls, half crazy with fear, made a leap for life and was dashed almost to pieces on the pavement below. Like so many sheep several others followed her. A great many of them managed to land on top of q shed and thus broke their fall.
 Fortunately the firemen were grad ually able to put up ladders to the fourth floor and thus rescue the majority of the half hundred women who were work ing there, many of whom had fainted. For half an hour there was con stant stream of firemen carrying women down the ladders, though in many cases the work had to be stopped because of the flames breaking out unexpectedly at the very place where the rescue work was going on.
 The greatest horror came when three firemen, Vian, CharetIe and Burwell were caught on the very roof as the flames burned through. Vian and Char cite managed to escape by means of a rope and ladder. But Burwell found continually closing around him. The sight was agoniZing. He alternately raised his hands in prayer and shouted to the crowd below to rescue him for Gods sake.
 Priests, their soutanes trailing in the mud, were murmuring prayers in the street below, and as no ladders were long enough to reach him he seemed doomed, when number of young vol unteers, after flashing several ladders together, made venture and finally brought him down.
 This morning MT. Macdonald visited all the hospitals and took the names of his injured employees.
 It is rumored that one woman is miss- ing, but the work of searching the ruins had not yet commenced.
 One girl says she jumped from a fourth story window and escaped with out injury, but her story seems hardly strongly excited as she related her .ad- ventures. Ida Fortin and Alphonsin Thibadean are expected to die today.
 The total loss is now officially stated at $500,000, equally divided between building and stock.

Age-Herald Bureau,
 Bessemer, April 26.
 Memorial Day at Bessemer was ob- served in a most exemplary manner, as outlined in the Age-Herald. The pro- gramme was carried out with but slight notifications and these were owing to the weather, which was showery and threatening. committee, consisting of three members, waited upon the mer- chants and asked them to close their places of business during the exercises, which most of them cheerfully and promptly compiled with.
 It was 2:30 p. m. before the line was in order and marched to the city hall instead of the cemetery, where Capt. W. H. Hardy of Meridian, Miss, delivered the memorial oration.
 The speech was a masterly effort and met with hearty cheers. Especially was this the case when the names of the many gallant heroes who fought for the stars and bars" were mentioned.
 Captain Hardy spoke for three-quar- ters of an hour, and his audience, which consisted of as many as could find stand ing room in the council hall, were en- raptured with his words. He gave a concise history of the causes which ul- timately led to the war of the states, the stormy scenes enacted during the form ation of the secession movement, the anti-slavery agitation, the statesman ship displayed by the southern leaders, the sacrifice of property, kindred and lives. and then the final struggle for the mastery, in which the south came out overpowered, outmatched in numbers but not humbled, not cowed, not whipped, not subdued and not hopeless; but demoralized as they were. with homes destroyed, property confiscated, health impaired and absolute want star ing them in the esface, they arose from the ashes and like true men, encouraged and aided by their faithful wives and daugh- ters, they have made the land blossom as the rose They have brought order out of chaos and have put the laurel on the brow of their allies and companions who fell by their side by the hands of their opponents.
 "They may talk of a Trafalger, of a Nelson, of Perry and of all the other naval commanders of the world, but when history is honestly written, which

breathed in every line the true spirit of the south ,and was worthy the genius of true daughter of the southland.
 After the close of the programme It was announced that the veterans would remain on the stage and would shake hands with all who came forward It was a very affecting scene, and many eyes were moist with tears. As the vet erans marched out the school girls formed in double line and presented them with flowers. It was tribute of youth and beauty to bravery and chiv- airy.
 The following order of march to the cemetery was observed:
 Grambs' Military band.
 Second regiment, Alabama state troops, E. L. Higden. major commanding first battalion.
 Howard college cadet corps, captain commanding.
 Birmingham police force. T. c. McDon- ald chief
 Birmingham fire department, Thad Mullin, chief.
 Camp Hardee. United Confederate Vet erans. Gen. R. D. Johnston, commander
 Sons Confederate Veterans, Gen. Rufus N. Rhodes, commander.
 Mayor and board of alderman.
 Children of all schools Citizens in carriages.
 All under command of l.. V. Clark, col one Second regiment, Alabama state troops.
 The Birmingham police force, in new uniforms, looked almost as fine as the soldiers.
 At the cemetery the military formed in the upper roadway and rested upon their arms. The veterans filed below. It was brave sight as they marched up the winding walk, with colors trailing and the band playing the Dead March" The graves of all the soldiers in the cemetery n. xI 1alf Aafa lty were very active in supplying the flowers and decorating the graves.

 Fire Afresh Full Details,

Selma, April 26.-(Speeial)-A terrible shooting afrray occurred on Water street a few minutes before noon today. The trial of James Minter for the shooting of Sonk Dudley at Tyler's three weeks ago was set in Justice Mays court, and all parties concerned were in attendance ex- cept Sonk Dudley. who is confined at hi, home by wound. His son, E. A. Dud- ley, and his brother, J. c. Dudley, were together, while Robert H. Browning, a brother-in-law of Minter, and E. II. Sneed, clerk in Brownings, were to- gether. It is evident that they were Looking for Each Other. Browning and Sneed were standing in Cassfn's store when the two Dudley's passed. The younger Dudley entered the store and the cider passed on. Young Dudley brushed against Browning and passed on to the rear of the store. Browning followed him and at the door of the office they met.
 Browning said: 'I can't stand that" Well, if you want anything you can get it." said Dudley, and with that both drew their pistols. Dudley showed Browning back just as the latter fired. Dudley fired almost at the same instant.
 
 shots were exchanged, when both men fell to the floor. They were good grit and both pulled themselves up to a sit ting posture, drew fresh pistols and con tinued firing.
 At this Juncture the elder Dudley ap- peared on the scene and it is thought fired three balls into the prostrate form of Browning. and Sneed fired four shots 1t the al6pr nlId1ov btt the smoke cleared away
 A Horrible Sight Was Presented.
 Browning lay dead on the floor, with eight bullet holes in his body, his brains oozing from horrible wound in the head, while Dudley, his abdomen punc- tured by five balls and his left arm and hand shot away. lay writhing in terrible agony. He called for water and was made as comfortable as possible until the doctors arrived.
 Browning's father came rushing in three minutes after the firing ceased and his grief as he viewed the lifeless form of his son was pitiable. He turned on the elder Dudley and attempted to draw his pistol, when both were dis armed by Sheriff Kennedy and Chief Lumpkin.
 Duuley was caffleu 10 the noSpltal and his wounds examined. He was told that he would die and that his only chance was to submit to an operation. He re- quested that the operation be performed. It was found that his bowels were
 Cut in Twenty-Five Places. and his liver punctured three times. He died before the operation was complete.
 Dudley was 34 years old and leaves a wife and two children. He lived near Benton. Browning was 22, single and lived at Pleasant Hill.
 Joe Dudley and Sneed are in jail. Their preliminary trial will come up before the mayor tomorrow morning. The affray was the result of a family feud.

advices on the subject. and the Japa- nese minister who should be the most concerned if the reports were true, con tinues to characterize them as improba- bilities.
 Not the remotest ntimation has reached the Japanese legation that any protest has been made by any European power against the ratification of the treaty with China. Moreover, as has been previously stated, the text of the proposed treaty as cabled to the Japa- nese minister contains no provisions for cession of Manchuran territory. which is alleged to be the chief ground of Rus sia's objection. It is said that if these European statements as to the opposi- tion to the treaty should eventually prove to have a basis of fact they will have a claim to be regarded as one of the greatest surprises in diplomatic his- tory Nevertheless, the persstency with which the statements are repeated from apparently well informed sources necessarily commands attention and ex- cites inquiry which it is impossible to answer satisfactorily on the basis of any facts known or authentically reported here.

Scottsboro, April 26.-(Speeial)-Jus about Il o'clock, as Sheriff Robinson was returning to the jail from the court house with Newton Ward a prisoner, he made break for liberty. ! The sheriff ordered him to halt, but he continued to run and was shot four times by. the sheriff. He died within an hour afterwards.
 Ward was in jail on charge of bur- glary, which he acknowledged, but was taken to the court house today as a witness against another party for com plicity in the burglary. Ward had pre- viously served ten years in the peniten- tiary for killing a man named Hillians in Marshall county.

At Columbus. Ga.

Columbus, Ga., April 26.-While Memo rial Day has always been observed in Columbus, where the beautiful custom was first inaugurated, not in several years past has the demonstration been so universal, and the character of the celebration so varied as was the demon stration today. The weather was cloudy and pleasant. Business was suspended throughout the city after o'clock and the magnificent exercises at the opera house caused that edifice to be packed to its utmost capacity, hundreds being unable to obtain admission.
 Beautiful tableaux were presented by charming young women personating the different southern states in the order of their secession. They were costumed in white with large red sashes and bearing shields with the names of the states in gilded letters. Recitations and popular southern songs were rendered and an elo- quent address was delivered by Hon. Lionel c. Levy.
 Twenty-Five young misses carrying lovely wreaths for each of the twenty five unknown graves in the soldiers lot were conspicuous in the procession, which was the largest that has participated in the observance for several years. The procession was composed of the fire de- partment the police force Confederate Veterans and Sons of Confederate Vet erans, Ladies' Memorial association, the clergy of the city and many distinguished citizens in carriages.
 There was not soldiers grave, in pri- vate or soldiers lots, which was not beautifully decorated with the choicest flowers.

He Smiled Pleasantly.

Pensacola, Fla, April 26 -J Judge Barnes of the state circuit court sem fenced John Criswell, convicted of the murder of his father, but recommended to mercy, to life imprisonment at hard labor. During the delivery of the sen tence the prisoner smiled pleasantly, and after receiving the sentence thanked the judge.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-04-27

For many years the government has given its orders for Royal Baking Powder in preference to all others, it being found by the official examination, superior to the others in strength and purity and the only baking powder that will keep and retain its strength in the climates of the various countries to which 1t is sent by the departments.
