BUTTE's GREAT CALAMITY.
TaIKfNE Testimony Regarding tn
Fatal ILxDIOsiOn.

1ulA1OS Testimony Regarding tne
Fatal Explosion.
The inquest on the bodies of the men
who met death iii the great explosion at
Butte, Mont, week ago is now in pro-
gress, and promises to be long and rigid
investigation as to who is responsible for
the terrible disaster. So far the testimony
shows that the two explosions which caus-
ed all Of the fatalities came from. the Ken
yon-Cornell Commercial Company's ware
house.. Those in a position to know testi-
fed yesterday that there were not more
than go pounds Of the explosive in the
warehouse, but an expert on explosions
swore there must have been between ten
and fifteen tons. The explosion was felt
siXty-five miles distant.
Other testimony given by men who had
visited the warehouse and seen the powder
prior to the fire demonstrates that there
was considerable more of the explosive
than the company claims. In view of pros
pective damage suits, a number Of attor-
neys are in attendance at the investiga-
ton, and the greatest interest Is being
taken in the proceedings
The total number of known dead is fifty
eight, and three more will die. OF those in
jured there are still twentysix in the hos
pitfalls. Human bones minus every Vestise
of flesh, are still being taken from the
ruins, and it is belieyed at least five or ten
persons, besides those known, were lost IN
the wreck and their bodies consumed along
with those Of the four tiremen and Hogg-
batter.
On the night of the explosion there was
considerable powder in storage at various
parts OF the city, and for fear public 1ndls-
nation might assert itself many tons OF II
were hauled away before daylight. People
are now condemning the city authorities
for not enforcing the ordinance relative to
the keeping of pow der within the limit.
The relief fund for the sufferers has
reached $4,000, but so far the sufferers
have not received much benefit from it.
They are simply being given orders for
goods on stores and are having their SHAT
tered and wrecked homes repaired.

MOTOHMAN WAS LOST.
Went to East New York Instead OF
Fulton Ferry.

One comic incident Of the Brooklyn
strike was the error made by a new motor
man, Just arrived from Chicago. who. with
two other green" policemen, took out the
last car and instead of going down Gates
avenue, took the Myrtle avenue route,
switched off at Knickerbocker avenue and
thence through Flushing and Throop, to
Broadway, and then went to East New
York, instead of going to Fulton Ferry.
On reaching the Alabama avenue depot
the car was taken care OF by the Fulton
avenue men.
Capt Ennis, when 1t was reported that
the ear had gone aStray, ordered up his
patrol wagon, and with the mounted men,
who had returned after seeing the first car
well on it's way, hurried In pursuit of 1t,
intending to bring it back, as it was wan
derins through q section of the city where
it, was rot expected. and where 1t was
absolutely unprotected. They passed the
knickerhocker avenue switch, and went
oyer two miles down Myrtle avenue to
Bedford in search Of it. and on their way
back to Rldgewood learned that It had
passed up broadway to East New York I'M
harmed. The incident caused much amuse-
rncnt, and it's safe arrival at East New
York was looked on as a singular circurl-
stance nJtrouble occurring where cars
were unexpected.
After it had passed down Myrtle avenue
the up-track was covered with obStruc-
lions, stones, bricks, etc. These were there
till after nightfall.

In his message to congress conveying his

regards as veritable stimulus to military
anarchy and discredit to the nation.

Minister of finance, Senior Romero; minis

the retiring presidents message to congress

congress. 1t added that he had fulfilled mis-
promise not to contract new debts or to
allow reissues of bank notes. In the per-

broken in health and spirits, he considered
that the interests of the country would be
best served by his resignation.
The dispatch adds that congress accepted

1t Was "a Profitable Scheme.

Bushels of letters, many of them con-
tanning money, from all parts Of the United
States anI Canada continue to be received
at the Cleveland pest office for the
Ladies' Monthly Gem, the principal pro-
prietor of which is under two indictments
for fraudulent use of the mails. Letters
addressed to the concern have been con-
fscated for several days past. Taking the
average daily remittances received as a
basis it is estimated that the proprietors
of the Gem have reaped harvest of fully
$4,000 during the past month, and that ii
the concern had been allowed to run for
4 few months longer the amount received
would have reached stupendous proper
tons. The scheme OF the promoters was
to offer a fine gold watch and the maya
zine for year for SD. In the few
cases where watches were sent they prov
ed to be brass, worth less than 81.
