NO SILVER CONGRESS.
Chances of an International Meeting
Very Slim.

Chances of an International Meeting
Very Slim.
WASHINGTON, June l4--The prepon-
derance of opinion among public men
who have given attention to the progress
national conference looking to the re-
Mobilization of silver is that the chances
for such congress in the near future are
very slim. These are very few who be-
lieve that such conference will be held
this year, and many express the opinion
that it will be postponed indefinitely.
The action of the minority of the Fed
eral Governments. which is reported to
have been adverse to the timetable move
ment, is the principal basis for this opin-
ion. Chancellor Hohenlohe Is known 10
be opposed to the silver movements, and
the most that he ever promised Count
Mirabach and others who have been
pressing upon the German Government
the propriety of Germany's taking the
initiative In calling the conference was
that he would consider the question in
connection with the different State Gov
ernments of the Empire. and now that
these appear to have spoken against sill
yer, it is intimated that the Chancellor
probably had q shrewd idea of the pos
sible result, and adopted il as political
device to avoid assuming direct response
bility on q question on which he could
count upon the support of only portion
OF his Cabinet, upon which the country
at large is not united, and upon which
also the Emperor has made no declara-
ton.
Hence the belief that unless the Ger
man bimetallists can succeed in arousing
the direct interest of Emperor William,
they will find it necessary to giveup the
prospect of securing International action
through conference called by that Gov
ernment Some of the advocates of an
International movement who have pinned
their faith to Germany profess to believe
that the Emperor may be brought to take
the matter in hand, but the prevailing
opiuion is that he will not interfere.
Still another obstacle is discovered in
the attitude of England, and in the un-
derstsnding that Germany is likely to
be largely influenced by that nation. II
is remem bered that some OF the German
bimetaIlists themselves have declared
that il was mex pedient to take any steps
without the cooperation of England, and
it has been made very clear by Sir WILL
lam Harcourt that while the present Gov
ernment remains in power in England
there would be no encouragement by
that country of change from the gold
standard,

but Cornell had the stroke at II to Penn
sylvania's 80. At the mile and half

five lengths ahead, while her stroke had
been increased to 46. Cornell finished in

a
Share of the Estate.
DENVER, June IA special to the
News from Greedy, Col. says: A most re-
markable case was decided in the District
Court here to-day. David Henry came
to Greedy in 1870 and invested in lands
now worth $4,000. He married Mrs.
Calista Evans in 1878, and died In 1890. his
wife dying eight days later. The estate
was entered for probate. The case now
decided was brought by the heirs of
Susan Henry, who claims that she was
married to Henry in Missouri in 1S49,
having two children by him, and that she
children, by the laws of Missouri, are en-
titled to one-half of the estate. During
the progress of this case there appeared
the heirs of still another wife, claiming
marriage to Henry in California in 1863.
In answer, the Missouri heirs set forth
that the California wife was divorced in
1873. but in turn they set up the claim
that q Missouri common-lsw marriage
did not hold in Colorado, and on this
point Judge Boughton agreed, dismissinr
the case of the Missouri heirs. The con-
clusion of the matter will now be Z conn
promise between the heirs Of the Califor.
MIA and Colorado wives.

FALL RIVER (Mass.), June 14.-The
worst catastrophe that has visited this
city since the Garnite mill fire occurred
this morning in Langley's harness shop,
four-stoIy building on Couky street.
A boiler exploded in the basement, blow
ing out the entire end of the structure
and allowing the upper floors to settle
into mass of ruins.
There were about thirty persons, most
OF them women, at work in the shops at
the time. of whom only Henry j. Lang
ley. the proprietor; George E. David. the
foreman, and seven other employees were
rescued alive up to $50 o'clock. The
flames communicated with the ruins
soon after the explosion.
The firemen made heroic efforts to res
cue the imprisoned work people, while
shrieks from the girls in the ruins were
mingled with the agonized cries of their
friends. Every physician who could be
reached was sent at once to the scene.
Offices and houses in the vicinity were
turned into temporary hospitals. --~
At 8 O'Clock the badly charred and
scarcely recognizable body of woman
was taken from the ruins. The fire had
been checked, but it was still smolder-
ing. and the work of rescue went on with
great difficulty.
Machinist Trip was among those who
escaped. A girl named Jalbert and her
sister-in-law, who worked side by side
on the third floor, escaped, one unhurt,
the other with slight bruises.
Miss Jalbert says there was terrible
report, followed by shock. The roof
seemed to lift and then fall, completely
demolishing the building. She and her
die of the road. The latter was badly cut
about the face and arms.
The shock broke the windows of the
Stafford Mill and injured several opera
tives. The harness shop is total wreck, F.,
but the flames are under control.
The charred remains OF Robert Murray
were recovered. Star Music Hall has
been made morgue. The third body
recovered was that of q woman. 1t could
not be recognized.
Mayor Green announces that ten per-
sons were killed, with three still missing.
There are number injured and several
may die. The fire is all out, but the build
ing was so badly wrecked that the search
of the ruins is progressing slowly.
The list OF dead whose bodies have been
recovered is as follows: Adele DUDE, aged
~; Leila Horton, IL; AdOlph Il. Belle
fuell, As; Robert Murray, q.
The seriously injured are: Thos. Barry,
skull fractured. face and body burned,
will undoubtedly die; Matte Duroches,
bruises and burns, fatally injured; Will
lam Russell, badly burned; Alice Trem-
blay, bruises and burns; Ida Lepage,
bruises.
Four more bodies burned beyond re-
cognition have been found. Twelve es-
capped with hardly any injuries.
The engineer was arrested. He says
the boiler was five years old and had not
been inspected for long time. He says
he put water in the boiler some time be-
fore the catastrophe.

white man, for Virgis Brooks. coal
black negress, Frank Macklin, manager
of the Natchez Island Plantation, lies
dead in this city, with two Winchester
balls in his body. The Brooks woman is
dead on the island. Robert Carter, q
negro boy, is at the hospital mortally
wounded, and the body of Dawson, un-
shrouded, uncoftined and riddled with
bullets occupies an unmarked grave near
the water's edge on the Louisiana side OF
OF the river. where he fell while making
a desperate resistance to arrest.
Dawson was notorious shanty- boat
fisherman. The woman had been living
with him, but left him some time since
and took up quarters on the Natchez
Island Plantation, owned by Jim Conley
and managed by his Son.in-law, Frank
Macklip. Dawson followed the woman
and made himself so obnoxious that yes
terday he was ordered off the plantation
and forbidden to return, and he came to
Natchez, secured Winchester and early
this morning reappeared at the home of
his negro paramour on the lslands
Macklln learned OF MS presence went
to the woman's house, and again ordered
him from the premises. Dawson started
away as though to obey, but on reaching
the gate turned suddenly and shot Mack
lin down, sending three bullets into his
body, one of which pierced Macklin's
heart. Dawson then re-entered the
house and shot the woman through the
breast, killing her instantly. The same
bullet passed through the body of Robert
Carter, fatally injuring him.
Dawson then made toward Louisiana,
telling some one that he would return
and finish the job by killing Conley and
his wife. A posse from Vidalia, headed
by Magistrate Brady, soon overlook the
murderer and filled him with bullets.
Magistrate Brady impaneled jury,
which held and inquest on the spot, and
the verdict exonerated those engaged in
the killing of Dawson, whose body was
buried where it fell as it lay.
