houses, a large boarding house, the
packing house, cooper house, a num-
Der of barns, Office building, sheds,
etc. The total loss amounts to over
$15O,0O0, the buildings being insured
for about 1000 Five cars of flour
and feed standing on a sidetrack
used by the mills, connecting with
the Milwaukee railway, were de-
stroyed. The mill had 1000 barrels
of flour capacity daily. Nearly ev-
cry building in the village is gone.
Only two houses were saved, which
were not in direct line to the
flames. A high wind from the south
east made it difficult work for the
firemen fighting the flames. A large
stack of 600 or 700 cords of wood
was burned. Nearly 100 working
men were employed by the mills,
including night and day crews. The
mills were the best equipped of any
in the southern part of the state of
Minnesota, having been recently en-
larged overhauled and new ma
chinery put in, including a large
Corliss steam engine and large cleo
trio plant, Illuminating the mill and
all buildings connected with the
plant. Mayor B. B. Sheffield and
his father, M. B. Sheffield, were the
owners, and conducted heavy mer-
camille Touring business, which, hav-
ing increased beyond their capacity,
they leased what is known as the
Faribault cereal mills, another 900
to 1,100-barrel mill, running both to
their full capacity, night and day.
They were 10000 barrels behind with
their orders when they made the
lease. The Mortified fire depart
ment was telegraphed for, and came
at $3.50, with a fire engine on
freight car, but were too late to
aid. materially in subduing the fire.
1t is believed the Sheffields are not
embarrassed by the disaster, but will
rebuild larger and continue the busi-
ness, as they can get all the backing
needed Within an hour after the
burning of the mill Mr. Sheffield tel
egraphed Ed P. Allis & Co., of Mil
waukee, to send an expert to rebuild
the mill on the same site, with 1000
barrel capacity.

-FOUR CHARRED BODIES.
Holocaust in a New York Tene-
ment House Fire.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Several lives
were lost in the fire which started
about 1 o'clock this morning, on the
second floor Of the six-story build
ing at Z Pelham street, owned by
We'll & Meyer, and used as a sweat
shop. Three charred and almost un-
recognizable bodies were taken from
the ruins, and one man who jumped
to save his life from the flames was
so injured that he died in Gouv-
erneur hospital, whittier he was TAX
en- suffering from a fractured skull
The dead are:
JACOB SHAPIRO, watchman,
found in the ruins; forty years.
ISAAC PENSON, found in the ruins.
UNKNOWN MAN, found in the
MORRIS DIRsCHAUER. aged six
ty, who jumped from a second-story
window and died in Gouverneur hos
pital of a fractured skull.
The fire originated from some un-
known cause on the second floor of
No. and spread with great rapidity
through that building and those inn
mediately adjoining. Five alarms
were sent in, and, although a large
number of engines were playing on
the flames for hours, nothing could
be done to save the structures them
selves, and the four buildings num-
bered 8, 5, and 9 were COM
pletely destroyed.
The fire caused terror in the thick
ly populated neighborhood, and peo-
pie ran out of their houses into the
streets in multitudes to escape the
impending destruction of their homes,
which they feared. The buildings
burned were filled with Sweat-Shops,
and several watchmen and others
slept there. How many cannot be
told yet. Two of these people were
Dirschauer, who died in Gouverneur
hospital, and Samuel Ischowitz, JAM
itor of No. 7. They jumped from
windows to save themselves. Ischo-
WITT is still in the hospital with both
legs broken. =
After the flames had been extin-
guished, because there was little
| more to burn, a search was begun for
the dead, for it was believed that
many might be in the ruins. The
first body, a totally unrecognizable
mass of charred flesh and bones, was
| found about 8 o'clock today in the
| doorway of No. 7. 1t was so burned
| beyond all semblance to a human
body that it was at first supposed to
have been a Newfoundland dog,
which was kept about the place, but
doctor declared it to be the rs+
| mains of a man.
Two hours later another body. was
| discovered on the third floor of No.
Z. This, too, was practically unrec-
ognizable, but was identified as that
of Jacob Shapiro by relatives. At

cal reforms and troops are provided
with new arms. Military experts here
are hoping for much from the introduce
ton of Mansur rifles, which gave good
results. The old Remingtons will
probably be sent TO the national guards
in the Southern states, especially TO
Yucatan, TabaSco and ChiapaS. The
English military expert now here
studying the army says the morale OF
the troops is excellent, and when the
men receive their new weapons and
are organized on German basis, Mex
leo will have one of the strongest small
armies in the world, capable of resist
ing much larger bodies of troops un-
accustomed to the climate and unac-
quainted with the mountainous topog-
raphy of the country.
There is strong feeling in military
circles in favor of encouraging the
navy and of adding policy which
shall gradually give the country ade-
quate protection for its coast ports.
The government is pursuing a policy
of giving better armamentS to the port
defenses.
Ezeta's plan for conquering and an
neXing Guatemala to Mexico is ridi-
culed here, and general opinion is ad
verse to wars of conquest or annexa-
ton, save that large and influential
group of Liberals would welcome the
annexation of Cuba. President DiaZ's
policy is the reverse of annexation,
however, and he believes in making
Mexico stronger merely for defense.
A tremendous pressure is being
brought on him to accept another
term, but he maintains an attitude Of
entire reserve in the matter.

Perpetrators of the Mexican HOl-
ocaust Put Under Arrest.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The World
contains addit onal details of the burn
ing of ten heretics by the judge of the
Mexican town of TeXacapa, which is
published today in a special dispatch
from Pachuca. The dispatch says:
AS soon as the news reached Mol
Tango, the principal town in the d.s-
trict, the municipal president and
minor officials, with an escort of over
sixty men, armed with rifles, went to
TeXacapa, where they found everybody
in the public square, executing gro
tesque dances in honor of the Virgin OF
Guadalupe, arclsnd the ruins of the
Jail, a small building solidly construct
ed close to the parish church. In this
jail previous to Saturday had been con-
fined Nicholas Hernandez, Martin San
tiago, Jose Manuel, Casper Hernandez,
Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas second, Maria
Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria Con-
cepcion and an infant child. They had
been rudely hustled from their homes
at dead of night on the extraordinary
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
Judge that their lives were an evil Ill
the sight of God, and that they were
enemies of the faith and heret1Cs
whom God had ordered through his
holy saint to be consumed by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
the utmost sangfreid to the authorities.
He added that God had wrought as
tonishing miracles to confirm what the
saint had told him in the vision. Said
the judge:
II obeyed the divine command and
: ordered out my constables and we
took these sinners from their beds and
dragged them in the darkness OF night,
weeping and wailing, to the jail. When
they were locked securely in, ordered
the constables to set the building on
fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
deatf. to the authorities. The prisoners,
securely bound around the arms ana
chained together, were marched to
Mollango, where a judicial 1nvest1ga-
ton will take place. The whole popu-
lation of Texacapa appear to nave
gone mad. All believe the auxiliary
Judge was commissioned by the Al
mighty and the saints to destroy evil

on which they profess to see mlracu-
lously traced outline forms OF the

hurn the heretics, left their images.

HASTINGS IS ALERT.
Determined to Secure the Fourth
Insane Hospital.

Insane Hospital.
Special to the Globe.
HASTINGS, Mimi, Nov. 3.-This
city is an aggressive bidder for the
fourth hopsital for the insane, and in
the contest for location of the build
ing our citizens think the location
ought to be decided upon merit and
not upon any material difference in
cost. Hastings offers a splendid
tract of land for the $4,000 appro-
priated for the purchase Of a site.
The land is worth far more than the
sum named, but the citizens will
make up the difference. The points
to be taken into consideration are
the adaptation of the land offered
to the purposes of the hospital and
the character and location of the
town with reference to easy COM
munication with the Twin Cities.
Hastings, with but two or three ex-
ceptions, is the largest city in the
/ state that has no state or public
| institution, and at present is a
formidable candidate for the prize.
Furthermore, it is the most avail
able city in this district, being as
near, if not nearer, to st. Paul and
Minneapolis than any other, and the
location and site offered cannot be
surpassed, considering it's beauties
and other advantages, and above all
| it's splendid water power, the op-
portunity for drainage, and the fer
/ tility of the soil. A more beautiful
and meritorious site than Hastings
| is difficult to find, being so perfectly
adapted to meet all the requirements.

PREPARING TO LOBBY.
Postoffice Clerks Want Their Sal
aries Fixed by Law.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-A meeting OF the
Chicago branch of the national asso-
citation of postoffice clerks was called
TO order this afternoon at the Great
Northern hotel by President Scanion'
of the association. The classification
bill prepared at the national conven-
ton was read, and indorsed by the
meeting. At the national convention
of postoffice clerks held in st. Paul IN
September last bill was drawn up for
the classification of the salaries OF
postoffice clerks, which is to be pre-
sented to the next congress. Such
bills have been offered three times be-
fore, but in each case congress has ad-
iourned without action. The present
bill is of the same so-t, out certain
features before objected to have been
modified. The present form has the
approval of Postmaster Washington
Hesing. The object sought by this
measure is to fix the salaries of the
clerks by law, and thus put them on
the same basis as the carriers. Frank
P. Maher, postoffice inspector, spoke
of the need for such a law as the one
proposed, saying that in travelling
through five states he had found this
to be more than merely local matter.
