SUED BY FRESNO LAWYERS
County Clerk Hart Defendant in
an Action Brought to
Test a Law.
Determining the ConstitutionaIity of a
Portion of the County
Fee Bill.

FRESNO, CAL, June 28.-Attorneys G..
B. Graham and George Cosgrave yester-
day commenced suit against County
Clerk L G.. Hart to test the constitution
atty of that portion of the county fee bill
which requires the payment of So before a
clerk flies a demurrer in an action.
The issue was raised by an application
from the plaintiffs to have thirteen sepa'
rate dem urrers filed in case pending in
court. The clerk refused to place the de-
murrers on the motion calendar until $26
was paid. They refused to pay and now
demand writ of mandate to compel him
to file the demurrers or give his reasons
for refusing TO do so.
The real object is to test the validity of
the law. Clerk Hart has been acting
under the advice of District Attorney
Snow in collecting fees. The law is some
what vague. and clerks of various counties
have established various rules.

Wall Falls Upon the Firemen
While Fighting the
Flames.
ONE DEAD AND TWO DYING.
others More or Less Injured, and
There Were Several Narrow
Escapes.

AUGUSTA, GA, June 28.-One man
dead and two dying at the City Hospital,
with several others injured, is the result
of fire which destroyed Miller d Co.'s
big mill on Twigg street this morning.
The loss by the fire is probably $4,000 and
the insurance $4,000.
When discovered at AS A. NJ. the mill
was on fire in the third story of the main
building, an iron-covered structure with
wooden framework. The flames spread
from the big iron-covered mill to the
smaller brick warehouses with great
rapidity. Being covered entirely with
heavy corrugated iron, the flames for
long time were confined to the building
itself. The casualties are:
Dead-Aaron Morton, colored, driver for
Superintendent of Fire Alarms.
Injured Mike Riley, hook and ladder;
cannot recover.
Gabe Walters (colored); badly mangled.
= Fredericks; legs broken, internal in
juries, cannot recover.
Bob Weakley, engineer Company No. 2;
left leg broken, head cut.
Henry ]. Kale, ladderman on hook and
ladder; cut about head.
Ben Pueffier, chemical engineer; cut
about head.
1t was an hour and quarter after the
first alarm before the tragedy occurred.
The brick warehouse had gable end to it,
and while attempting to put stream
through a hole made in the gable the
brick wall fell.
fireman had been on short ladder
and knocked out some of the bricks. A
long ladder was needed to put stream up
and Aaron Morton and several 6remen
went to the truck and got 30-foot lad
der. As they placed it to the wall Ladder
men Riley and Morton had hold of it. As
soon as it touched the side of the wall the
wall was seen to sway and then came tum-
bling down. The two men on the ladder
could not get out of the way and were
buried beneath the redhot bricks. Others
were overtaken by the falling missiles.
Besides the firemen there were few people
at this locality.
Lieutenant CARTRIDGE of the police force
and Wallace Wheeler of the Chronicle
were near the foot of the ladder and only
had time to jump back as the wall came
crashing down.
The fire is of unknown origin.

JUBILEE OF ENDEAVORERS
Great Preparation at Washington
for the International Con-
vention.
Public Parks and Gardens Adorned
and the City Is Downing
Gala Attire.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 28.-Mueh
enthusiasm is manifested here over the ar
rangements for the international Chris
tian Endeavor Convention which will as
semble July s. The city will soon put on
gala attire, and the officials in charge of the
public parks and gardens have laid out the
Christian Endeavor monograms and COM
binations of the letters "Y. P. S. c. E." in
flowers and gayly colored leaves in the
parks OF the city. The churches are also
actively planning for elaborate decora-
tions. Tbs National colors will, of course,
play an important part in these, and in
addition the special colors of the State
which each church will entertain will be
used effectively.
From present indications it is likely the
decorations for the business houses will
exceed those of previous gatherings. Three
mammoth tents are about to be erected on
capacity OF five large churches in
the immediate vicinity of the
tents will soon be increased to the utmost
by the addition of folding chairs. Thus
nine simultaneous meetings with an audi
ence of 10000 will be conducted through
out the sessions of the convention.
The PROGRAMME, which has been nearly
completed, includes some of the best
speakers in the country, and also several
widely know clergymen and mission work
ers from across the seas. The list includes
Postmaster General Wilson, Hon. John
Wanamaker and Hon. Neal Dow.
Great attention has been given to the
work OF organizing the choir which will
lead the singing at the meetings. Over
1900 members OF the local societies have
been regularly rehearsing every week for
the past two months.
The Christian citizenship and temper
ance features of the programme will ap-
pear on Thursday evening. Leading men
and women from all parts of the country
will deliver addresses, notably Rev. H. K.
Carroll, editor of the Independent, Hon.
L. Castle of Pittsburg and Mr.. Booker I.

COMMODORE FIXED UPON.

Three shots From Revenue Cutter
Bhis by the Vessel.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 2S.-The
Commodore steamed up the harbor this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Captain Nor
ton says:
"When the Commodore arrived in
Tampa her papers were examined and
found to be all right. Then SIZE was
searched for arms, and of course none
were found. For two DAYS we lay in the
harbor and on Thursday we set sail with
no cargo, and with the proper clearance
papers for Charleston. Before we left the
harbor we were lying very near to the
revenue cutter Mclean, and If the officers
of that vessel wished to examine the Com
modore and its, papers every opportunity
was afforded them.
rive steamed from the harbor very
slowly, for the machines were not in the
best of working order. When we were
two miles out heard the report of a gun
and saw the Mclean behind US. Bang
went another, and I ordered the engines
stopped and we waited the arrival of the
pursuer. Bang went the third. and a
solid shot whistled by US, falling not forty
feet from the vessel. The wind from the
shot as it passed was felt on the face oil
every man on deck. If it had struck us
the Commodore would have been sunk.
1.-THE captain of the vessel came aboard
and l asked what this outrage meant. His
reply was that he wanted the vessel to
stop and wanted to examine its papers.
He asked if we carried a passenger list,
and told him no. He examined my pa
pers, went through the vessel and found
everything correct. he then left US and
we continued on to Charleston on peace
full voyage"
Captain Morton said he would probably
leave for New York in few days, and
that the Commodore would remain in the
harbor.

CRETE'S NEW GOVERNOR.
Georgi Pasha, Prince of Samos

Pasha.
Being of the Greek Faith It Is Hoped
He Will Put an End to Exist
ing Trouble.

CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, June %.
--Georgi Pasha Berovitch, Prince of Ss-
mos. first functionary of the Ottoman en-
pire, has been appointed Governor of the
island of Crete. Abduliah Pasha, whom
he replaces in the Governorship, will re-
tain command of the Turkish forces in the
island.
Since 1882 the island of Samos, which
lies off the west coast of Asia Minor,
seventy-two miles southwest of Smyrna,
has been an autonomous principa'ity or
beylic, paying yearly tribute of 100000
piastres to Turkey. The island is under
the rule of prince of Greek nationality
named by the Porte. its autonomy being
guaranteed by Great Britain, France and
Russia under the protocol of 1882. The
prince regent, Georg Pasha was born at
Scutari, Albania. in ls45. and was named
Prince of Samos in January, 1895,
1t is hoped the appointment of Gov
ernor of the Greek faith will put an end to
the troubles between the Christians and
Turks in Crete. The people of Samos are
Greek in language and religion.

the latter are becoming very chary Of

these assaults may be given in accounts of
an incident which occurred last week. An

Fulge, who, without provocation, adj
dressed him in the foulest language and
finally threw him down ana tried to
choke him to death. The officer was res

MINERAL PRODUCT STATISTICS.
Improved Conditions Indicating Long
Step Toward Recovery From
Hard Times

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 28.-Ac-
cording to official statistics just issued by
the Director of the Geological Survey the
total value of the mineral products of the
United States for 1895 increased over $780,
COO 900 beyond the value for 1894, or from
$527, 1858, 594 to $611 795, 900. This increase
is considered long step toward recovery
from the depression to which the mineral
industry, like all others, has been sub
iected.
While the coal product is great, it is
much steadier, in spite of the extra de-
mand for it in order to produce an extra
supply of iron.
Another noticeable feature was the
profitable producing petroleum districts in
the Appalachian range Natural gas
showed decline, the pressure decreasing
in all the fields, thereby shortening the
life of each we'll and greatly reducing the
product, especially in Pennsylvania.
Almost all the remaining minerals show
substantial improvement.

hopes OF life for the imprisoned men, as
result of the discovery of the unframed
mules, were again shattered by later dis
coveries.
Ate o'clock this evening the aspect was
decidedly gloomy. Mine Inspector Nc
Donald is on the ground and went to the
foot of the shaft, where he made most
thorough investigation. He used the
knowledge gained by twenty-five years ex-
perience and determined that no rescue
could then be made. He confirmed the
stories of his predecessors in the work of
rescue. The fanhouse had not suffered
any injury, aud so far as travel was pos
sible the air currents were perfect. This
fact gave hope to the management that a
sufficient volume of air could be forced to
the rear of the cavern by sending it in a
roundabout way.
A consultation of the leading mine SUI
perintendents of Lackawanna and Wyom-
ing valleys was held this afternoon. Re-
ports by experienced foremen who had
made these rescuing trips were listened to.
The fear was expressed that possibly the
Susquehanna River, near by the cave,
was running into the mine. This how
ever, was merely supposition, as nothing
inside justified the opinion. The pump in
this locality is under the cave and its work
is entirely prevented.
At the meeting the possible number of
imprisoned men was mentioned, but this
question is wholly problem, as the entire
force OF bosses and company men-in fact
all from whom this information could be
derived-are in the pit below. For this
reason the subject of the missing ones is
entirely conjectural.
AT II o'clock tonight a force of sixty
men from neiehboring collieries went into
the shaft to aid the rescuing party. They
will stay until morning. The men are ali
old, experienced miners.
AT midnight. after looking over the sit
uation carefully, the leader of the rescu-
ing party decided the best thing to
do was to drive gangway through
the coal from the Clear Spring
colliery adjoining into the Twin
shaft, where it is possible to locate the
men. The work was at once begun, and is
being pushed with all the speed possible.
This task, however, will consume three or
| four days. In the meantime the work will
be pushed by the rescuers in the Twin
shaft. 1t is now the opinion OF the most
able miners that it will take several days
to find the entombed men.
At 1890 A. NJ. a gang of men belonging
to the rescuing party which went in at
O'Clock last night came to the surface and
reported that they were making Roadway,
though it was slow work. The roof con-
tlnues to settle and more or less danger is
present. They are within 800 feet of the
cave-in. Gas appears to be accommodating,
which makes the labor difficult aud delays
the work to a great extent. No hopes are
now entertained for the safety of any of
! the men.

An Authorization Movement-Man
Villages Plund cred and Burned.
Reuters Agency has received news of
the outbreak of an anti Christian move
ment in Formosa and OF the dispatch of
Japanese expedition to the east coast,
where the disturbances have occurred.
Writing fror, Pananfu, Formosa, on
April II, Rev. Thomas Barclay of the
Presbyterian Mission in the island says:
81 am sorry to say that last week we re-
ceived bad news from the east coast
churches. About the 9TH of March one of
the Christians resident on the seashore
was visited by sixty or seventy refugees,
who had crossed from the inner valley,
bringing news of an organized attack on
the Christians there. A number of run
away soldiers from the north of the island
had come down south spreading false re-
ports of the Christians being in league
with the japanese.
''They succeeded in stirring up the Chi
nese, who came in two bands, one from
the south and one from the north, and
swept the aboriginal villages, especially
those where Christians lived. During the
last week of February village after village
was plundered and burnt, the inhabitants
being compelled to take 70 the hills. Two
churches were destroyed. The preachers,
however, succeeded in escaping. In some
cases the Chinese followed the fugitives
and took away their bullocks and grain.
Rewards were offered for the capture of
preachers and office bearers. We hear that
several Christians have been killed, but dc
not know exactly how many have lost
their lives. That was more than a month
ago, and we have no idea what has since
happened. 1t is reported that the Japan
csc have already reached the scene of the
outTaees and have restored order, but the
Japanese authorities can give us no inior-
