 TWO SMALL FIRES.

Cast House Roof at the Alice Furnace
 Burned Of-Another Blaze.
 The roof of the cast house of the Alice furnace caught fire and burned up last night about o'clock. The plug in the iron outlet of the furnace was put in inn perfectly and when the pressure upon it increased the plug blew out and set the roof, which was wooden, on fire. The immense amount of hot iron and slag that was blown to the roof set it to burning fiercely almost instantly and in a short while the entire roof was in a blaze. An alarm was turned in from a box near the Standard Oil company, and the department went to the box, and when they arrived there the fire was found to be at the Alice, which is some distance from there Consequently the de- partment was delayed in getting to the fire. However, everything possible was done.
 The damage will hardly exceed $750, as nothing was damaged very much, except the roof of the cast house.
 Another Small Blaze.
 A stove fiue in the residence of MT. Wear, on Nineteenth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, set fire to the roof of the kitchen about 7:30 o'clock last night, but the blaze was extin- guished before scarcely any damage was done

A CABINET CRISIS
Imminent in Austria Over Banffy's Nasty
 Speech

Vienna, May 3.-The Hungarian pre- mier. Baron Banffy. has precipitated another cabinet crisis by denouncing in the Hungarian lower house Arch bishop Agliardfs tour of agitation against the ecclesiastical bills. Thurs day the Poltsche correspondent con- tained this semi-official statement: s"Cpunt Kalnoky does not sanction Baron Banffys attack upon Archbishop Agliardi. Baron Banffy appears to be unacquainted with the nature of the larchbishop's speeches, as well as with the rules of diplomatic usages."
 This sharp rebuke has caused keen excitement in Buda Pest. Most Hun garian politicians regard Banffy'ss re- atrement as likely. The premier will come to Vienna tomorrow. He Us ex- pected to resign his office. The em- peror's action upon his resignation probably will be influenced strongly by the difficulty in finding a successor without turning to Dr. Wekerle, the last premier for assistance

I,ntnr Reports.

The storm appears to have originated one and a half miles southeast of Sioux Center. From there it moved across the country in a northeasterly direction crossing the Sioux City and Northern track about two miles north of Sioux Center. About half mile beyond it seem to have changed it's course to the northwest and struck Perkins and Sib- ley
 Teachers and Pupils Killep.
 Word was received from Sioux Center at Il o'clock tonight that Miss Anna Marsden was among the killed. She was a teacher at what was known as the Coombs school house, seven miles north of Sioux Center. Fully one-half of her pupils are said to have been killed or in- jured. but none of their names have yet been learned. The parents of many of the children escaped the storm and are nearly frantic with anxiety to learn whether their little ones are dead or alive. Miss Marsden's brother, who taught school two miles north of the Coombs building, was also killed.
 As nearly as can be learned the towns which suffered are Perkins Doon, Sib- ley, Hull and Sioux Center. Sioux Cen ter and Hull were grazed only by the edge of the storm, and no fatalities are reported from either of them. The num- Der of killed at Doon is now stated at ten. Four or five will probably cover the QedQ at 0Diey. AL ESThillS tut lOSS OL life is said to have been very large, prob- ably not less than thirty or forty. This with the number of killed on farms about the country, must bring the number up to nearly seventy-five or 100. It is diffi- cult to determine tonight what the loss to property will amount to, but from all accounts 1t must be enormous.
 At 12 o'clock word was received that four school houses near Sioux Center, while school was in progress, were de- stroyed, and in each of them from three to ten children were killed or injured Many of the children were carried from quarter to half mile before they were dropped Two little daughters of John Roster a farmer near Sioux Center, were picked up as they were leaving the school house and dashed into wire fence and both were killed. Two sons of c. H. Haggie at the same school have had their legs broken and received other injuries, from which they will die. MT. Haggie's house is near the school and although he escaped. his daughter was so badly injured that she cannot live.
