scores Of dead, the hundreds Of injured.
The hospitals were filed. The spare
rooms in the hotels were taken and
private houses were thrown open where
it was necessary. Chief Cameron di-
rected the attack on the building, and
while some of the firemen hauled line
of hose along, the others started in to
tear off the iron covering of the building
SO that they could get at the flames.
Just as they had succeeded in tearing
off a part Of the covering and secured
an entrance, the first explosion came.
A Binding Sheet of Flame
forced the roof from its fastenings and
shot hundreds of feet into the air, fol-
lowed by a second of deadly silence and
then came the awful roar, carrying with
it humiliation to those who closely sur
rounded the death trap and destruction
on every hand.
Some Of the Dead.
The dead who have been identified
are:
]. B. Miller, attorney, Salmon City,
Ida; j. d. Cameron, fire marshal;
George Fifer, fireman; William MCGEE,

Sights Something Awful.
The sights in the undertaking estab-
Hshments are something awful. All are
crowded with heaps Of human flesh.
Here was half head and mutilated
trunk below it; in another place an arm
less and legless trunk, with the face dis.
figured beyond all possibility Of recog-
milton.
Scarcely any of the corpses were rec
ognizable, and the complete roll of dead
will probably never be known.
There are IL dead at the Butte under
taking rooms; 10 at the Montana, and 10
at the Sherman
Forty three wounded are in the hospi-
tails and % of them are in critical con-
dition.
No attempt will be made to complete
the Identification of the dead until the
injured are cared for.
The loss of life is variously estimated
at from so to Is and wounded Will prob
ably exceed $50.

Death Of Daniel Needham, who Won
Worlds Prizes with Vermont NIerinos.

Hon. Daniel Needham, who died at
Groton, Mass, Wednesday in his I'D year,
was widely known through his work in
advancing the farming interests. Begin
ming in 1870 he carried on large sheep
farm at Hartford, in this state, for nine
years. He served two terms in each branch
of the Vermont legislature He was for
five years secretary of the Vermont State
Agricultural society. and was commission
ed TO represent the safe at the inter
national exhibition at Hamburg Germany,
in 1868. His success with the Vermont
sheep in taking two first and two second
prizes was as great a surprise to his own
country as it was to Europe, and changed
the market for stock-bred merino sheep
from Germany to Vermont. Since 1864
he had lived in Groton. He was secretary
and later president of the New England
Agricultural society, and a trustee OF the
Amherst Agricultural college While in
the Massachusetts, legislature, both in the
house and senate, he was chairman of the
committee on agriculture. In addition to
his New England farms he owned a large
grain farm in Delaware and another in
Wisconsin. For l. years he was United
States bank examiner.

McI<ane's Masterpiece.
lie stole SIoO,OOO 10 s1OO,OOO From
the widow Of His Intimate Friend.


For a masterpiece of deliberate, cold
booded treachery, it is difficult to find
anything to match that of which the Sing
Sing convict, John Y. McKane, was de-
clared guilty Saturday by Referee William
G.. Choate From the evidence furnished
in the suit it would appear that the former
boss of Gravesend has taken advantage of
the trust placed in his loyalty and honesty
by the widow of his most intimate friend,
Paul Bauer, to inappropriate almost the
whole of the latter's estate. The value of
the property in question, which at the time
of Bauer's demise comprised the West End
hotel and number of other enterprises at
Coney Island, is estimated by the referee
at some 100000 year, OF this only 49,,
700 in all has been turned over to the
widow and orphan of Mr.. Bauer since his
death, six years ago.
When Bauer died i'm 1889 the widow was
appointed administrator and had McKane
named as cO-adminstrator. On the estate,
valued at upward of Slj0,O00, there was
mortgage of $4,000. TO pay this the
| property was sold and McKane bought it
in his own name, paying $500 more than
the mortgage. In explain alton McKane
said this was done to enable him to raise
! funds the more easily, but that he would
! turn il over to the widow as soon as all
debts were paid. He soon paid off the
debts and the estate began to yield large
| income.
On the day after his conviction Mrs
! Bauer visited him at the jail and pleaded
! for her property, but he said: go away;
| bought the property for myself; you're
not entitled to a cent
! Afterward it was learned that Mckanc

THE VERMONT NEWS.
Dropped from the List.
Many Soldiers Notified That They Are
Not Entitled to Pensions.

NON 10 IehslNnSs
Many Vermont pensioners, under the
act of June 27, 1890, are being notified by
the commissioner of pensions that evi-
dence on file in the bureau of pensions
shows they are not entitled to the pension
granted them, and unless satisfactory tes-
timony is furnished that bureau within so
days they will cease to receive such pen
sion. No fraud is charged against the
pensioners, but they themselves have no
knowledge of the nature of the evidence
alleged to be filed i'm the bureau of pen
sions, or how it was obtained 1t is sur
missed, however, as an extra number of
special examiners of the pension Office
were recently transferred to Vermont, that
the evidence, if any, was discovered and
taken eX parte and reported through their
agency.
The cry of fraud on the part of the sol
dier has well nigh ceased, and is substitute
ed by a complaint of unfairness on the
part of the government toward the pen
siOner. 1t is a matter of record that after
the furry of extreme virtue, after the dec
laration of the President that thousands
of neighborhoods have their we'll known
fraudulent pensioners after the eXamin-
alton by large numbers of extraordinary
and extra examiners, after overhauling
800 600 cases of established pensions upon
which the questions of fact had been as
certained by previous commissioners of
the pension bureau the frauds actually
proved to have been committed 10y pen
soners during the year ending June 30,
