ELECrR1cIrYs GREAT POWER.
Tests in Hauling Freight on Motor
Road.


Road.
NANTASKET MASS, June 27.-Motor
car 500 on the electrical branch of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
pulled and pushed 45O and 500 tons yester-
day on 4 haulage trial trip. From the
standpoint of practical railwaying this test
was OF far greater value than the speed
test of last week. The test gave great sat
isfaction both to the officers OF the road
and the representatives of the company
who furnished the electrical equipment.
For about two hours the inward track be-
tween the Old Colony House station and
Nantasket was used in experimenting with
the new power, the tests all being in the
line of haulage. The opinion expressed
by those directly interested is that the
motors could easily handle twice and even
three times the tonnage hauled yesterday
About 2:30 o'clock Colonel n. H. Heft,
the general electrical engineer of the Con-
solidated road, started the motor-car No
2. the fiier of Friday night, and with the
party OF ten aboard, including high Off
Gals, the car was run to within short dis
lance OF the Nantasket station, back to the
Old Colony House and then to the power
house. No attempt at speed was made.
Motor-car 245 and equipment was next
were four heavily loaded freightcars at
tached. Hardly culver was noticed as
the train started. There was nothing in
the start demonstrative of power. The
motor Just took up its load and ran off
with it.
There was no effort to make speed, but
with lots OF power TO spare the train was
run a; the rate OF twenty-five miles an
hour or more. a locomotive then hauled
five more heavily laden cars from siding
to the main track and coupled them on
the train of eleven ears. The haul was
then increased to over $50 tons, but the car
took them all down the road and pushed
them back again as easily as it did the first
haul. 1T seemed that after the first test
the motor was almost without limit
There will be other tests during the
week. On Sunday the new power will be
used on schedule trains. One of the two
tracks will be reserved for the use of the
electrical system. Trains will be run and
picked employees of the road instructed in
the mechanical details of the motors.

BODIES IN THE RUINS.
Remains Of Some of the Vic
tins Recovered by
ReSCuerS.
At LEAST NINE MEN PERISH
Distressing Scenes Witnessed in
the Pathway of the DeVour-
ing Flames.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 27.-At II
O'Clock tonight the most disastrous fire in
this city in point OF loss of life since the
Tribune fire of 1889 originated in the five
story building at $40 and 242 First avenue
wholesale crockery.
The first alarm, turned in at IL O'Clock,
was Immediately followed by a second and
third alarm and a general call for the fire
department.
The blaze started in the rear of the
upper stories, but soon communicated it
self to the front building and burst forth
from the roof. In half an hour the roof
gave way and two minutes later a part of
the side wall fell, crushing beneath its
ruins a group of firemen in the alleyway.
Six men were taken out dead, of whom the
bodies of John Hoy, John Hornick and
Wallace Richardson were recognized.
Among the large number of injured were
Edward Thielen, John Gray and John
Caldwell.
Other bodies are supposed to be still in
the ruins. The loss will be about 800, 900,
with heavy insurance.
The total number of dead at this hour is
believed to be nine. Three bodies have
been identified, as mentioned. Thielen
one of the injured died while being taken
to hospital.
There are still five iremen missing, and
all are supposed to be crushed to death
under the mass of debris in the fatal alley
where the wall fell. No sounds of agon-
ICED life can be heard issuing from the
mass of brick and water, but heroic efforts
are being made by the fire-fghters and
police to bring the missing men to the
surface dead or alive. The fire quickly at
tracted a great crowd from both cities, and
when the news of the loss of the brave
lives spread through the streets thousands
more surrounded the police lines which
were thrown around the blazing block.
The dead as far as known are as follows:
Joseph Hoy; Christian Sande, truck
man; John Horner, truckman Walter
Richardson. lieutenant Company No. 6;
Ed Thielen, pipeman.
The injured are: Frank Grau, supply
wagon; Frank Egan, No. Hose Company;
Captain Caldwell of No. s.; Fred Thomas,
Company No. s,
The total loss will be about 500 900, with
insurance of $4,000.
The scenes when the bodies OF the dead
and injured fremen We're carried from the
burning debris were distressful in the ex-
IRENE, and were intensified on the arrival
OF relatives and friends. Many of the spec
tators, who We're too anxious to get close
view of the blazing pile and the attendant
scenes Of death and suffering, were injured
by flying embers and bricks
Considerable confusion remains around
the scenes, but the police and firemen are
exerting every move to get the bodies.
The exact number Will not be known be-
fore morning.

The Cruiser Columbia to Race against
Time From Southampton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-The
cruiser Columbia is to race against time
from Southampton TO New York under in
structions from Secretary Herbert. She
will not, however, be driven at her highest
speed, the effort being limited to deter
mine what the famous triple-screw flyer
can do under actual service conditions
without subiecting her to a strain. After
coaling at Southampton she will follow
the transatlantic course, using full boiler
power without forced draught. When the
Columbia was sent to Kiel under the regu-
lations she was limited to three-quarters
full power. as are all vessels under ordi-
nary cruising orders, and it took her over
eight days elapsed time to make the voy-
age to Southampton. She used only six
of her eight boilers and averaged 1874 knots
for the trip. 1t is not expected that she
will make more than Is or 10 knots re-
turning, as she is not in prime condition
for record making.

TARNER PREDICTS A SPLIT.
His idea of the Resale of the Democrat
Convention.

His idea of the Result of the Democratic
Contention.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 27.-General
A. B. Warner, the champion of free silver,
who is at present in this city, speaking of
the Democratic convention at Louisville,
said: 1.-The outcome of the Louisville con-
vention was not looked for by the bimet-
aIlists. We know how easy it is with the
assistance Of otficeholders to pack con-
vention, but any one who has visited Ken
lucky knows that the convention did not
represent the sentiments of large ma
jority of the people of the State, who are
undoubtedly opposed to the gold standard
and in favor Of the resumption of coin
age of both gold and silver. 1.-The general
then went on to show that split of the
Democratic party was almost inevitable at
the coming National convention
"This is the outlook now" he said, "and
l believe it is safe to predict that John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland will vote
for the same man for the Presidency in
1886"
"Wil there be a separate party2''
1.-The silver men will get together" said
General Warner with emphasis. Just
how it is too early to predict. They will
make different party, by whatever name
it is called. They must get together OF
they might as well give up the fight

MANY CLAIMS STAKED OUT.

Discovery of Rich Gold Deposits in
Hyoning.
DOUGLASS, WYo., June 27.-After over
two weeks of secret prospecting party,
headed by an old Colorado prospector OF
twenty years experience, has discovered
gold twelve miles from this place When
the news of the find leaked out it caused
the big fever, which has heretofore been
unknown in this vicinity. 1t is estimated
that over 100 claims were staked out to-
day. Reports brought in this afternoon
are that mineral locations of recent find.
are identical with Cripple Creek The
assay shows gold in more than paving
quantities and ore increases in value as
the shaft deepens.

CARNEGIE,s PRICE ExoRBIrANr
Therefore the Government Does Not Wdnt
His Steel Scraps.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81. = at
the meeting OF the Naval Board of Con-
struction to-day a report was considered
from the steel board strongly recommend
ing the use of nickel steel in place OF
ordinary carbon steel for all possible pur-
poses on warships.
This was warmly opposed by the
bureau chiefs on the ground that while
nickel-steel costs 100 per cent more than
the best carbon steel it did not avera ge
over per cent better in strength and other
desirable qualities. 1t was stated in the
discussion that the Carnegie Company had
100000 pounds of nickel steel scraps and
trimmings accumulated from completed
contracts which could not be sold except
to the Government. The character of steel
made from this material was unobiection-
able, but its price was declared exorbitant.
